                                April 30, 1996


NOTE A - INTRODUCTION


The Company, Global Industrial Technologies, Inc. (Global) together with its
subsidiaries and unconsolidated joint ventures conducts its business in three
segments; the mining and specialty equipment division, the minerals and
refractory products division and the industrial tool division.  In addition to
its wholly owned operations, the Company has a 50% interest in KOMDRESCO, a
construction and mining equipment operation in South Africa.


NOTE B - INVENTORIES

The determination of inventory values and cost of sales under the LIFO method
for interim financial results are based on management's estimates of expected
year-end inventories.


NOTE C - INCOME TAXES

In accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109, the
Company recognizes deferred tax assets and liabilities for the anticipated
future tax effect of temporary differences in the carrying amounts and tax bases
of assets and liabilities.  Valuation allowances against deferred tax assets are
provided where appropriate and at October 31, 1995, the Company had deferred tax
valuation allowances of approximately $18.3 million.

For the first six months of fiscal 1996, the Company recorded a tax provision of
$3.5 million or 18% of reported earnings before taxes which includes a $3.3
million deferred tax benefit resulting from a reassessment of the Company's
valuation allowances.  The tax provision during the same period of fiscal 1995
was zero, also due to a reassessment of the Company's valuation allowances.  The
valuation allowances in both years were released based on a reassessment of the
Company's ability to realize the related deferred tax assets.

For the second quarter of fiscal 1996, the Company's tax provision increased by
$2.3 million and included $1.1 million deferred tax benefit resulting from a
reassessment of the Company's valuation allowances.  The tax provision during
the second quarter of fiscal 1995 was zero, also due to a reassessment of the
Company's valuation allowances.

NOTE D - CONTINGENCIES

The Company and its subsidiaries are involved in certain legal actions and
claims arising in the ordinary course of business.  A scheduled trial of the
claims of five of approximately 1,920 plaintiffs in the consolidated action
captioned Roy D. Patton, et al. v. Ingersoll-Rand Company, et al., Circuit Court
of Jackson County, Mississippi, No. 89-5148(3), filed April 1989, for noise
induced hearing loss allegedly caused by the use of tools manufactured by
multiple defendants, including the Company, has been postponed from May 1996
until at least January 1997.  They will be the first of approximately 3,650
hearing loss claims asserted against the Company in Jackson County to be tried.
For a description of other products liability claims against the Company, see
NOTE H to Consolidated Financial Statements contained in the Company's Annual
Report on  Form 10-K/A for the fiscal year ended October 31, 1995.


NOTE E - ACQUISITIONS

On December 21, 1995, the Company acquired 100 percent of the outstanding stock
of The Rotor Tool Company (Rotor) for $34.5 million.  Rotor is a Cleveland, Ohio
based manufacturer of fixturized and specialty engineered electric and pneumatic
tools used primarily in automotive assembly operations.  The acquisition was
accounted for as a purchase and includes approximately $22.5 million of
goodwill.  Rotor's financial results since acquisition are included as part of
the industrial tool division's 1996 earnings.

On January 12, 1996,  the Company acquired substantially all of the assets of
Corrosion Technologies, Inc. (CTI) for $36.3 million in cash and assumed
liabilities of $6.0 million.  CTI, founded in Green Bay, Wisconsin, has
developed and patented advanced polymer concrete tankhouse cells used in the
electrolytic refining of copper. The acquisition has been accounted for as a
purchase and includes approximately $38 million of goodwill which will be
amortized over a 20 year period.  CTI results are reported as part of the mining
and specialty equipment division since the date of acquisition.


NOTE F - NOTES PAYABLE AND LONG-TERM DEBT

On January 31, 1996, the Company issued $75 million of unsecured, medium-term
senior notes with institutional lenders in the private placement market to
provide long-term financing for  acquisitions, primarily for CTI and Rotor.  Of
the $75 million, $25 million is due January 31, 2002 and $50 million has a ten
year maturity with an

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
- - ---------------------

Three Months and Six Months ended April 30, 1996 compared to April 30, 1995.

The Company had net earnings for the first six months of 1996 of $15.8 million
or $0.70 per share versus net earnings of $13.1 million or $.57 per share in
1995. Earnings before income taxes for the quarter ended April 30, 1996 were
$12.5 million compared to $9.9 million for the same period in 1995.  The income
tax provisions for the three and six month periods ended April 30, 1996 were
$2.3 million and $3.5 million, respectively.  There was no income tax provision
for the three and six month periods ended April 30, 1995.  The Company's income
tax expense for the six months ended April 30, 1996 and 1995 consisted of both
current and deferred tax provisions totaling $6.8 million and $5.3 million,
respectively.  The 1996 tax provision was reduced by $3.3 million and the 1995
tax provision was completely offset by the release of valuation allowances based
on specific events that occurred during the periods.  The valuation allowances
were established in prior periods to impair deferred tax assets based on the
Company's ability to generate future taxable income.  The deferred tax assets
were generated primarily by large book expenses which were not deductible for
tax purposes in the same period.

Segment operating profit for the six months was $31.5 million in fiscal 1996
compared to $23.8 million in 1995, an increase of $7.7 million (32%); and $18.8
million for the second quarter in 1996 versus $15.3 million for the
corresponding quarter in 1995, an increase of $3.5 million (23%).  Although
increases occurred in all segments, growth in operating profits was primarily
attributable to the earnings contribution of the recent acquisitions.  The
minerals and refractory products division contributed an additional $3.6 million
for the six months and $1.5 million for the quarter due principally to the
acquisitions of refractory operations in Mexico and Chile. The industrial tool
division generated an additional $2.5 million in profits for the six months and
$2.0 million for the quarter due primarily to the acquisition of Rotor Tool
Company.  General corporate expenses were higher for the six months ended April
30, 1996 versus 1995 due mostly to interest expense in 1996 of $3.8 million on
the borrowings versus interest expense for the same period in 1995 of $2.6
million for a variance of $1.2 million.  For the quarter, these expenses were
higher than in 1995 due mostly to interest expense of $2.7 million versus
interest expense of $1.6 million for 1995, a variance of $1.1 million.

Consolidated revenues of $305.1 million for the first six months of fiscal 1996
were up $36.8 million (14%), from $268.3 million in the prior year period. For
the quarter ended April 30, 1996, consolidated revenues of $155.2 million were
up $13.2 million (9%) from $142.0 million for the prior year.  For the six
months ended April 30, 1996, the increase occurred primarily in the mining and
specialty equipment division.  An

                                April 30, 1996


increase in surface mining products equipment orders and improved forging
capacity has positively benefited shipments.  For the quarter ended April 30,
1996, the largest increases were from the acquisitions.  CTI contributed an
incremental $6.4 million and Rotor, $5.8 million.

Total costs and expenses for the first six months of 1996 were $285.8 million,
up $30.6 million (12%) from $255.2 million for the same period in 1995.  Costs 
of sales were $30.4 million (16%) higher than the prior year period due to the
higher sales volume generated from the lower margin surface mining equipment and
higher sales volume from the recent acquisitions within the mining and specialty
equipment division and the industrial tool division.  Selling, engineering,
administrative and general expenses were only $1.0 million (2%) higher than in
the six months ended April 30, 1995.  For the second quarter of 1996, total
costs and expenses were $142.7 million, up $10.6 million (8%) from the same
period in 1995.  Cost of sales were $110.7 million or $12.1 million (12%) higher
than in 1995.

Global's consolidated backlog of unshipped orders was $183 million at April 30,
1996 compared to $161.1 million at October 31, 1995 and $145.3 million at April
30, 1995.  The increase in unshipped orders from the year earlier period  is due
primarily to increased demand for minerals and refractory products and the
recent acquisitions of CTI and Rotor.

 
SEGMENT RESULTS
- - ---------------

Mining and Specialty Equipment Division
- - ---------------------------------------

The segment's consolidated revenues for the first six months of fiscal 1996 of
$101.3 million were up $16.6 million (20%) from the same period in 1995.  The
higher sales volume is attributable to a higher demand for surface mining
equipment  which generated $19.8 million of incremental sales for the period,
together with the acquisition of CTI and improved sales of forgings due to
increased production capacity in fiscal 1996 compared to the same period in
1995.  These increases were offset by the loss of sales from the Jeffrey
Underground operation which was sold in October 1995.  Jeffrey Underground
accounted for $17.7 million in sales for the six months ended April 30, 1995.

Segment operating profit reflected earnings of $7.1 million for the first six
months of fiscal 1996 compared to $5.5 million for 1995, an increase of $1.6
million (30%). The higher earnings were due to the improved sales volume at the
surface mining and forging operations.

                      MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
                                 April 30, 1996


For the second quarter of 1996, revenues and operating profits were $49.1
million and $4.3 million, respectively, compared to 1995 revenues of $46.8
million and operating profit of $4.3 million.

On January 12, 1996,  the Company acquired substantially all of the assets of
CTI and its related worldwide operations, for $36.3 million in cash and assumed
liabilities of $6.0 million.  CTI has developed and patented advanced polymer
concrete tankhouse cells used in the electrolytic refining of copper. The six
month results of the Company include results of CTI for the three months since
acquisition.


Minerals and Refractory Products Division
- - -----------------------------------------

Revenues and operating profit for the first six months of fiscal 1996 of $159.9
million and $19.0 million were $11.3 million (8%) and $3.6 million (23%)
greater, respectively, than 1995 revenues of $148.6 million and operating profit
of $15.4 million.  These improvements were driven largely by strong performances
at Refmex and RECSA, the Company's refractory operations in Mexico and Chile, as
well as increased external sales of raw materials.  For the quarter, revenues of
$81.6 million and operating profit of $10.7 million compared to $77.0 million
and $9.2 million, respectively for the year earlier period.


Industrial Tool Division
- - ------------------------

On December 21, 1995, the Company acquired 100 percent of the outstanding stock
of Rotor for $34.5 million.  Rotor is a manufacturer of fixturized and specialty
engineered tools used primarily in automotive assembly operations.  Rotor's
operations are included for four months of the industrial tool division's six
month results.

Revenues of $43.0 million for the first six months of fiscal 1996 were $9.3
million (28%) higher than the prior year.  The increase is due to the
acquisition of Rotor which contributed an incremental $7.6 million of sales in
the six months.   There was also an increase in shipments of assembly tools to
Mexico and Germany which accounted for the remainder of the increased sales
volume.  Segment operating profit of $5.4 million for the same period is $2.5
million (86%) higher than for the first six months of 1995.  The favorable
segment operating results are primarily due to the Rotor acquisition.

Revenues of $24.2 million and operating earnings of $3.8 million for the quarter
were

                                April 30, 1996


up from the year earlier period revenues of $17.5 million and operating earnings
of $1.8 million.  Again, the inclusion of Rotor's results for the entire quarter
was the main reason for the increases.


LIQUIDITY, CAPITAL RESOURCES AND FINANCIAL CONDITION
- - ----------------------------------------------------

Cash and cash equivalents were $7.0 million at April 30, 1996, $14.1 million
lower than at October 31, 1995.  The net cash used by operating activities was
$22.0 million for the first six months of fiscal 1996, which consists mostly of
an increase in inventories during the period of $23.7 million and a decrease in
advances from customers of $13.9 million.   The investing activities consisted
of $70.9 million for the acquisitions of the CTI and Rotor businesses and 
$24.2 million for capital equipment at the operating units.  The financing 
activities for the period generated $103.2 million consisting of $102.3 million 
of net proceeds from borrowings plus $1.7 million for the options exercised 
under employee benefit plans.

On January 31, 1996, the Company issued $75 million of unsecured, medium-term
senior notes with institutional lenders in the private placement market to
provide long-term financing for  acquisitions, primarily CTI and Rotor.  Of the
$75 million, $25 million is due January 31, 2002 and $50 million has a ten year
maturity with an average life of seven years.  The blended interest rate for 
the two series of notes is approximately 6.6 percent per annum.  Management  
believes that internally-generated funds and proceeds of short-term borrowings 
under existing credit facilities will be adequate to meet working capital and 
capital expenditure requirements while maintaining an appropriate debt to total
capitalization ratio.

The Company's current ratio at April 30, 1996 of 1.5 to 1 was virtually
unchanged from October 31, 1995.  The Company has outstanding debt of $151.2
million.
