1.   LONG-TERM DEBT

The Company and its Canadian subsidiary have an unsecured agreement ("Bank
Credit Agreement" or "Agreement") with a group of banks which provides for a
Revolving Credit and Swing Line Facility ("Facility") permitting borrowings up
to an aggregate total of $300 million, maturing October 1999. Swing Line
borrowings are limited to $15 million with interest calculated at the prime
rate minus the Commitment Fee Percentage. Revolving Credit borrowings bear
interest at the Company's option at either the prime rate minus the Commitment
Fee Percentage, or a Eurodollar rate plus the Applicable Eurodollar Margin.
The Commitment Fee Percentage and Applicable Eurodollar Margin will vary
depending on the Company's performance against certain financial ratios. The
Commitment Fee Percentage and the Applicable Eurodollar Margin were 1/4% and
3/8%, respectively, at March 31, 1997. The Company may also elect to borrow
under a Negotiated Rate Loan alternative of the Revolving Credit and Swing
Line Facility at floating rates of interest, up to a maximum of $150 million.
The Revolving Credit and Swing Line Facility also provides for the issuance of
$22 million of letters of credit, with such usage applied against the $300
million limit. At March 31, 1997 the Company had $5.1 million in letters of
credit outstanding.

The Company has entered into interest rate protection agreements ("Rate
Agreements") with respect to $150 million of debt under its Bank Credit
Agreement as a means to manage its exposure to fluctuating interest rates. The
Rate Agreements effectively convert this portion of the Company's Bank Credit
Agreement borrowings from variable rate debt to a fixed rate basis, thus
reducing the impact of interest rate changes on future income. The average
interest rate for the Company's borrowings related to the Rate Agreements at
March 31, 1997 was 5.89% for an average remaining period of 1.8 years. The
remaining debt not covered by the Rate Agreements has fluctuating interest
rates with a weighted average rate of 5.6% at March 31, 1997.

The interest rate differential to be received or paid under the Rate
Agreements is being recognized over the life of the Rate Agreements as an
adjustment to interest expense. Should the counterparts to these Rate
Agreements fail to perform, the Company would no longer be protected from
interest rate fluctuations by these Rate Agreements. However, the Company does
not anticipate nonperformance by the counterparts.

The Company must pay a commitment fee ("Commitment Fee Percentage") on the
total credit provided under the Bank Credit Agreement. No compensating
balances are required by the Agreement. The Agreement requires the maintenance
of certain financial ratios, restricts the incurrence of indebtedness and
other contingent financial obligations, and restricts certain types of
business activities and investments.

On April 24, 1997 the Company reached agreement with its group of banks to
amend its Bank Credit Agreement, principally to increase the size of available
borrowings to $380 million in conjunction with its March 10, 1997 announcement
if its intention to pursue an acquisition of the business known as World Crisa
and an investment in Vitrocrisa. In addition, the maturity date has been
extended to May 2002, borrowing rates under certain circumstances are lower
than the prior facility and financial covenants and restrictions have been
modified.

2. ACQUISITION OPPORTUNITY

On March 10, 1997 the Company announced that it had signed a letter of intent
to enter into a joint venture with Vitro S.A., with respect to its glass
tableware operations in Mexico, and also purchase the business known as World
Crisa, presently owned by Vitro S.A. The announced cash purchase price is
approximately $100 million. The completion of the transaction is subject to
the performance of final due diligence, negotiation of definitive agreements
approval of the boards of directors of the respective companies and compliance
with applicable governmental requirements. The Company anticipates completing
the transaction in the second quarter of 1997.

3.   CASH FLOW INFORMATION

Interest paid in cash aggregated $3,324 and $3,696 for the first three months
of 1997 and 1996, respectively. Income taxes paid in cash aggregated $1,668
and $1,895 for the first three months of 1997 and 1996, respectively.

4.   NET INCOME PER SHARE OF COMMON STOCK

Net income per share (EPS) of common stock is computed using the weighted
average number of shares of common stock outstanding, including common stock
equivalents. Weighted average shares, including common stock equivalents, were
15,511,585 and 15,326,728 for the three periods ending March 31, 1997 and 1996
respectively.

In February 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 128 "Earnings per Share" (FAS 128) which is
required to be adopted on December 31, 1997. At that time, the Company will be
required to change the method currently used to compute EPS and restate all
prior periods. The impact of adopting FAS 128 is not expected to be material.

</TABLE>

Net sales for the first quarter of 1997 of $78.5 million decreased 6.6% from
the net sales of $84.0 million reported in the comparable period in 1996. The
decrease in sales is due primarily to lower sales to the Company's industrial
and retail markets in the U.S. as the Company chose to eliminate certain
pieces of business which typically had experienced low or negative operating
profit margins. Export sales were down 21.5%, decreasing to $5.1 million from
$6.5 million in the year-ago period primarily due to a large premium order in
1996 which did not repeat in first quarter 1997.




                                      8
<PAGE>   9

Gross profit increased 8.7% to $21.7 million in the first quarter of 1997 from
$20.0 million in the first quarter of 1996, and increased as a percentage of
sales to 27.7% from 23.8%. Profit margins improved as a result of the
termination of certain sales with low profit margins. In addition, higher
efficiency performance in the company's glassware facilities contributed to
higher gross profit.

Income from operations increased 9.8% to $10.9 million from $9.9 million in
the year-ago period. Operating income as a percentage of sales increased to
13.9% from 11.8% in the comparable year-ago period, as a result of the higher
gross profit percentage offsetting higher selling, general and administrative
expense, principally associated with higher marketing and sales management
expenses.

Net income increased by $0.7 million due to items mentioned above, plus a
reduction in the Company's effective tax rate from 39.5% to 39.2%, principally
due to lower state income taxes, and decreased interest expense resulting from
lower debt levels.

CAPITAL RESOURCES AND LIQUIDITY

The Company had total debt of $228.7 million at March 31, 1997, compared to
$207.4 million at December 31, 1997. The increase in debt from December 31,
1996 is due to increased working capital requirements historically experienced
during this period. Inventories at March 31, 1997 were $14.9 million higher
than at December 31, 1996 principally due to the seasonal nature of the
Company's business. The Company had additional capacity at March 31, 1997
under the Bank Credit Agreement of $78.1 million. Of Libbey's outstanding
indebtedness, $66.9 million is subject to fluctuating interest rates at March
31, 1997. A change of one percentage point in such rates would result in a
change in interest expense of approximately $.7 million on an annual basis.

On March 10, 1997 the Company announced that it had signed a letter of intent
to enter into a joint venture with Vitro S.A., with respect to its glass
tableware operations in Mexico and also purchase the business known as
WorldCrisa, presently owned by Vitro S.A., subject to the performance of final
due diligence, negotiation of definitive agreements, approval of the boards of
directors of the respective companies and compliance with applicable
governmental requirements. As a result of this proposed transaction the
Company amended its Bank Credit Agreement on April 24, 1997 to increase the
maximum borrowings from $300 million to $380 million and extend the maturity
date to May 2002 from October 1999.

The Company is not aware of any trends, demands, commitments, or uncertainties
which will result or which are reasonably likely to result in a material
change in Libbey's liquidity. The Company believes that its cash from
operations and available borrowings under the Bank Credit Agreement will be
sufficient to fund its operating requirements, capital expenditures and all
other obligations (including debt service and dividends) throughout the
remaining term of the Bank Credit Agreement. In addition, the Company
anticipates refinancing the Bank Credit Agreement at or prior to the maturity
date of May 2002 to meet the Company's longer term funding requirements.
