NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
For the three months ended March 31, 1998 and 1997
The Registrant has been advised that it is a potentially responsible party,
together with 18 other parties, with regard to the Resolve, Inc. Superfund
Site, located in North Dartmouth, Massachusetts, with potential joint and
several liability of $5.7 million. The Resolve site was a waste chemical
reclamation facility. The environmental problem at the site involves soil
contamination including, particularly, PCB contaminants. The Registrant is
contesting all liability. The Company's liability cannot be estimated at
this time. It is the understanding of Registrant that clean-up at the
site will involve treatment of contaminated soil and ground water. There
may be other potential clean-up liability at other sites of which the
registrant has no specific knowledge.
The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all
adjustments that are, in the opinion of management, necessary to reflect a
fair presentation of financial position, results of operations and cash flows
for the interim periods.
There were no securities of the Registrant sold by the Registrant during the
three months ended March 31, 1998, that were not registered under the
Securities Act of 1933, in reliance upon an exemption from registration
provided by Section 4(2) of the Act.
USE OF ESTIMATES
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions
that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of
contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and
the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.
Actual results could differ from those estimates.

REVIEW BY INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS
The condensed consolidated financial statements at March 31, 1998, and for
the three-month period then ended have been reviewed, prior to filing, by
the Registrant's independent accountants, J.D. Cloud & Co. L.L.P., whose
report covering their review of the financial statements is included in
this report.

INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS' REPORT
To the Board of Directors
Vulcan International Corporation
Wilmington, Delaware
We have reviewed the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet of
Vulcan International Corporation and subsidiaries as of March 31, 1998, and
the related condensed consolidated statements of income and cash flows for the
three-month periods ended March 31, 1998 and 1997. These financial statements
are the responsibility of the Company's management.
We conducted our review in accordance with Statements on Standards for
Accounting and Review Services issued by the American Institute of Certified
Public Accountants. A review of interim financial information consists
principally of applying analytical procedures to financial data and making
inquiries of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters. It is
substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with
generally accepted auditing standards, the objective of which is the
expression of an opinion regarding the financial statements taken as a whole.
Accordingly, we do not express such an opinion.
Based on our review, we are not aware of any material modifications that
should be made to the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements
for them to be in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.
We have audited, in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards, the
consolidated balance sheet of Vulcan International Corporation and
subsidiaries as of December 31, 1997, and the related consolidated statements
of income, shareholders' equity, and cash flows for the year then ended (not
presented herein); and in our report dated February 12, 1998, we expressed an
unqualified opinion on those consolidated financial statements. In our
opinion, the information set forth in the accompanying condensed consolidated
balance sheet as of December 31, 1997, is fairly stated, in all material
respects, in relation to the consolidated balance sheet from which it has been
derived.

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
Results of Operations.
Net sales revenue for the three-month period ended March 31, 1998, increased
$28,678 or 1% over the corresponding period in 1997. Cost of sales
increased $90,063 or 3.4% during the three-month period. The foregoing
increase is due primarily to increase costs associated with the wood
products segment. The increase in inventories at March 31, 1998, as
compared to December 31, 1997, is due primarily to increases in the
Rubber and Plastics and Wood Products segments.
General and administrative expenses increased $46,703 or 14.2% in the
three-month period ended March 31, 1998, as compared to the corresponding
quarter in 1997 due principally to increased telemarketing and other costs.
Interest expense for the three-month period ended March 31, 1998 increased
$2,242.
Gains on the sale of property and equipment were $467,883 for the three-month
period ended March 31, 1998, as compared to $396,268 for the corresponding
quarter in 1997. These gains were the result of the sale of assets and
timber.
The Company has a 50% interest in a joint venture, Vulcan Brunswick Bowling
Pin Company (VBBPC) which manufactures bowling pins in Antigo, Wisconsin for
Brunswick and the Company. The Company received a cash distribution of
$550,000 from VBBPC during the first quarter of 1998.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
The Company's cash requirements during the first quarter of 1998 were funded
in part through earnings and noncash charges such as depreciation,
amortization, a $550,000 distribution from the joint venture and from the
sale of timber and fixed assets. The cash from these transactions was used
principally in operations. The Company expects, when necessary, to use
short-term borrowings to meet cash requirements not fully provided by
earnings, depreciation and amortization. In the first quarter of 1998,
6,000 shares of treasury stock were acquired for $217,807. There were
approximately $50,500 of commitments for capital expenditures as of
March 31, 1998.

Item 1. Legal Proceedings.
The Registrant has been advised that it is a potentially responsible party,
together with 18 other parties, with regard to the Resolve, Inc. Superfund
Site, located in North Dartmouth, Massachusetts, with potential joint and
several liability of $5.7 million. The Resolve site was a waste chemical
reclamation facility. The environmental problem at the site involves soil
contamination including, particularly, PCB contaminants. The Registrant is
contesting all liability. The Company's liability, if any, cannot be
estimated at this time. It is the understanding of Registrant that clean-
up at the site will involve treatment of contaminated soil and ground water.
There may be other potential clean-up liability at other sites of which the
Registrant has no specific knowledge.
The Registrant and its subsidiaries are party to other matters and claims
which are normal in the course of operations. While the results of
litigation and claims cannot be predicted with certainty, based on advice of
counsel, the Registrant believes that the final outcome of such matters will
not have a materially adverse effect on its consolidated financial condition.
