                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                   (UNAUDITED)





1.       BASIS OF PRESENTATION

         In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited consolidated
         financial statements contain all adjustments necessary to present
         fairly, in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles,
         the Company's financial position, results of operations and cash flows
         for the interim periods presented. Such adjustments consisted of only
         normal recurring items. The results of operations for the interim
         periods shown in this report are not necessarily indicative of results
         for any future interim period or for the entire year. These
         consolidated financial statements do not include all disclosures
         associated with annual financial statements and accordingly should be
         read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and
         notes thereto included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K.

2.       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.

3.       SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

         GOODWILL

         Goodwill represents the excess of purchase price over the fair value of
         net assets acquired in connection with the 1996 acquisition of the
         Company by affiliates of the Cypress Group L.L.C., the 1997 acquisition
         of Petroleo Mecanica ALFA, S.A. ("ALFA") and the 1998 acquisition of
         NOVA Wassererwarmer GmbH ("NOVA") and is included in other assets.
         Goodwill is being amortized up to 40 years.

         DEFERRED FINANCING COSTS

         Deferred financing costs are stated at cost as a component of other
         assets and are amortized over the life of the related debt using the
         effective interest method. Amortization of deferred financing costs is
         included in interest expense.

         RECLASSIFICATIONS

         Certain amounts in prior periods have been reclassified to permit
         comparison to the current year presentation.

4.       INVENTORIES

         Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market and were as
         follows (in thousands):


                                                 APRIL 1,         DECEMBER 31,

                                                 $24,544            $22,346
                                                 =======            =======

5.       LONG-TERM DEBT

         The Bank Credit Agreement (the "Agreement") between the Company and a
         syndicate of lenders provides for secured borrowings consisting of (i)
         a five and one-half year revolving credit facility providing for up to
         $30 million in revolving loans, $5.0 million of which may be used for
         letters of credit (the "Revolving Credit Facility") and (ii) a term
         loan facility consisting of a five and one-half year Tranche A Term
         Loan, $6.8 million at April 1, 2000, and a seven and one-half year
         Tranche B Term Loan, $43.7 million at April 1, 2000, (collectively, the
         Term Loans). In addition, the Company has issued $115.0 million of
         Senior Subordinated Notes due in 2006 (the "Notes"). The Notes are
         unsecured obligations of the Company. The Notes bear interest at a rate
         of 10.625% per annum, which is payable semi-annually on each June 30
         and December 31.

         Under the terms of the Agreement, AMTROL is required to comply, and is
         in compliance, with certain financial covenants and restrictions as of
         April 1, 2000.

6.       PROVISION FOR INCOME TAXES

         The effective income tax rates used in the interim financial statements
         are estimates of the full year's rates. The difference for 2000 between
         the provision computed using the statutory U.S. federal income tax rate
         and the provision for income taxes in the accompanying consolidated
         financial statements is primarily the result of goodwill amortization.

7.       BUSINESS SEGMENT INFORMATION

         AMTROL's reportable segments are delineated geographically. The
         segments are managed separately because of their different product
         offerings, markets served, manufacturing processes and cost structures.

         The Company's North American segment operates manufacturing facilities
         in Rhode Island, Kentucky, Maryland and Ohio, and operates a
         distribution facility in Ontario, Canada. This segment manufactures and
         markets products used principally in flow control, storage, heating,
         and other treatment of fluids in the water system and HVAC markets.
         These products are marketed throughout the world but primarily in North
         America, Western Europe, Asia and Mexico.

         The Company's European segment includes the Company's facilities in
         Guimaraes, Portugal, Donaueschingen, Germany and Poznan, Poland. The
         Guimaraes facility manufactures returnable and non-returnable steel gas
         cylinders for storing cooking, heating and refrigerant gases which are
         marketed throughout Europe, the Middle East and Africa, as well as the
         Far East. The Donaueschingen facility manufactures and distributes
         residential and commercial water heaters which are marketed primarily
         in Switzerland, Austria and Germany. The Poznan facility refurbishes
         non-returnable steel gas cylinders.

         The primary criteria by which financial performance is evaluated and
         resources are allocated include revenues and operating income. The
         following is a summary of key financial data by segment:

                     MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
                  RESULTS OF OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL CONDITION


OVERVIEW

This Quarterly Report includes "forward-looking statements" within the meaning
of the securities laws. All statements other than statements of historical facts
included in this Quarterly Report regarding the Company's financial position and
strategic plans are forward-looking statements. Although the Company believes
that the expectations reflected in such forward-looking statements are
reasonable, it can give no assurance that such expectations will prove to have
been correct. Important factors that could cause actual results to differ
materially from such expectations include, but are not limited to, the Company's
ability to successfully implement its business strategy, the availability and
cost of raw materials, changes in government regulation or enforcement policies,
particularly related to refrigerant gases and building and energy efficiency
requirements, development of competing technologies, acceptance of the Company's
existing and planned new products in international markets, competition in the
Company's markets, the rate of growth of developing economies and demand for the
Company's products, the ability of the Company and its vendors to successfully
implement their year 2000 compliance initiatives, the ultimate cost of future
warranties claims, whether it succeeds in acquiring new businesses, and general
economic, financial and business conditions, both domestically and
internationally.

Net sales for the first quarter decreased $2.8 million or 5.1% compared to the
same period in 1999. The largest factor contributing to the lower sales in 2000
is the significantly weaker Euro. The average value of this currency compared to
the U.S. dollar decreased approximately 15% in the first quarter of 2000
compared to the same period in 1999. Approximately 25% of the Company's net
sales are denominated in Euros or linked currencies. First quarter 2000 European
sales, down 3% compared to the first quarter of 1999, would have increased
approximately 11.0% if the value of the Euro had not declined. In North America,
net sales declined approximately 6.0% as higher home heating fuel costs deflated
sales of plumbing and heating products and very wet spring weather delayed the
installation of new water wells. Higher fuel costs also increased outgoing
freight costs, reflected as a reduction of sales in the Company's financial
statements, which contributed to the North American sales decline.

- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

                     MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
                  RESULTS OF OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL CONDITION

Although gross profit for the first quarter of 2000 decreased $0.3 million or
1.9% from the first quarter of 1999, the gross margin percentage increased to
26.4% in 2000 from 25.6% in 1999. The higher margins in 2000 are attributable to
continuing cost reductions and improvements in labor productivity in all of
AMTROL's manufacturing locations.

Selling, General and Administrative expenses for the first quarter of 2000
decreased $1.2 million to $7.0 million from $8.2 million in the first quarter of
1999. The decrease in S,G&A was largely the result of lower operating expenses
associated with the lower sales level, as well as on-going cost reduction
activities. Selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of net
sales have decreased from 15.1% in 1999 to 13.5% in 2000. The weaker European
currencies in the first quarter of 2000 as compared to the same period in 1999
contributed to the lower reported operating expenses.

Earnings before interest expense, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA)
increased 16% to $9.4 million for the first quarter of 2000, from $8.1 million
in the first quarter of 1999. As a percentage of net sales, EBITDA increased
from 14.9% in 1999 to 18.2% in 2000.

The net income for the first quarter 2000 of $0.3 million compares to a net loss
in the first quarter 1999 of $.7 million, an absolute change of $1.0 million.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

The Company's operating capital (defined as accounts receivable and inventory,
less accounts payable) increased $3.7 million from $30.1 million at December 31,
1999 to $33.8 million at April 1, 2000. Since the previous year end, the
Company's accounts receivable and inventory increased $3.8 million and $2.2
million, respectively, while its accounts payable increased $2.3 million,
reflective of seasonal operating levels.

The Company's cash balance increased $0.1 million to $0.8 million as compared to
the end of 1999. The Company invested approximately $1.7 million in plant and
equipment during the first quarter.

The Company is a party to a Bank Credit Facility (the "Facility") which consists
of $50.5 million of senior term loans (the "Term Loans") and a $30.0 million
revolving credit facility (the "Revolving Credit Facility"). A portion ($6.8
million) of the Term Loans (the "Tranche A Term Loans") will mature on May 13,
2002, with quarterly amortization payments during the term of such loans. The
remainder ($43.7 million) of the Term Loans (the "Tranche B Term Loans") will
mature on May 13, 2004, with nominal quarterly amortization prior to the
maturity of the Tranche A Term Loans and with the remaining amounts amortizing
on a quarterly basis thereafter.

- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

                     MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
                  RESULTS OF OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL CONDITION

The Revolving Credit Facility includes a sublimit providing for up to $20.0
million of availability on a revolving credit basis to finance permitted
acquisitions. The commitments under the Revolving Credit Facility and the
acquisition sublimit will each reduce by $5.0 million on November 13, 2000 and
$10.0 million on November 13, 2001. The Revolving Credit Facility will mature on
May 13, 2002. At April 1, 2000, amounts available under the revolver
approximated $27.0 million. The Bank Credit Facility is secured by substantially
all assets of the Company and its domestic subsidiaries.

In November 1996 AMTROL issued, under an Indenture, $115.0 million of Senior
Subordinated Notes due 2006 (the "Notes"). The Notes are unsecured obligations
of AMTROL. The Notes bear interest at a rate of 10.625% per annum and are
payable semi-annually on each June 30 and December 31 commencing on June 30,
1997. The Notes are redeemable at the option of AMTROL on or after December 31,
2001. From and after December 31, 2001, the Notes will be subject to redemption
at the option of AMTROL, in whole or in part, at various redemption prices,
declining from 105.313% of the principal amount to par on and after December 31,
2003. Upon a "Change of Control" (as defined in the Indenture), each Note holder
has the right to require the Company to repurchase such holder's Notes at a
purchase price of 101% of the principal amount plus accrued interest.

The Bank Credit Facility and the Indenture contain various affirmative and
negative covenants and restrictions. The Company was in compliance with all such
covenants at April 1, 2000.

The Company intends to fund its future working capital and debt service
requirements through cash flows generated from operations, borrowings under the
revolving credit facility (the "Revolving Credit Facility") provided under the
Bank Credit Agreement and through the use of available cash balances.

Management believes that cash generated from operations, together with
borrowings available under the Revolving Credit Facility, will be sufficient to
meet the Company's working capital and capital expenditure needs in the
foreseeable future. The Company may consider other options available to it in
connection with funding future working capital and capital expenditure needs,
including the issuance of additional debt and equity securities.

INFLATION

The Company believes that inflation does not have a material effect on its
results of operations or financial condition. To insulate against fluctuating
prices, the Company has negotiated annual contracts with suppliers of certain
key raw materials (primarily steel) for a significant percentage of its expected
usage through 2000.

YEAR 2000 ISSUES

The Company continued to monitor its systems through the end of the first
quarter of 2000, including the quarter closing activity. No significant year
2000 errors or discrepancies were detected and no costs were incurred. The
Company will no longer report on Year 2000 issues.
