NOTE A - BASIS OF PRESENTATION
- ------------------------------

      The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements of American
Stone Industries, Inc. and its Subsidiaries (the "Company") have been prepared
in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim
financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-QSB and item 310(b)
of Regulation S-B. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and
footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete
financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting
of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have
been included. Operating results for the three-month and six-month periods ended
June 30, 1998 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected
for the year ended December 31, 1998. For further information, refer to the
consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto included in the American
Stone Industries, Inc. Annual Report on Form 10-KSB for the year ended December
31, 1997.

NOTE B - RECLASSIFICATION
- -------------------------

      Certain accounts related to the prior year have been reclassified to
conform to the current year presentation.

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

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

      Net sales for the second quarter of 1998 were $861,228, up 31% when
compared to the second quarter of 1997. For the six months ended June 30, 1998,
net sales were $1,326,074 up 28% when compared to the same period in 1997. The
1998 sales increase was primarily due to the continued success of the marketing
department in establishing new distributors in promoting our material to a
broader range of architects and contractors, as well as an increased volume of
residential sales. The Company records most of its sales in the second and third
quarters of the year. Demand for stone products is normally low in the first
quarter in the Great Lakes market due to the cold weather.

      The gross profit percentage for the second quarter of 1998 was 46%, the
same when compared to the same period for the prior year. The gross profit
percentage for the first six months ended June 30, 1998 was 34%, compared to 31%
for the same period for the prior year. Production costs for the second quarter
of 1998 were increased as a result of bringing the new gang saw online. However,
those costs were offset by a nonrecurring gain of $82,907 as a result of a
statewide rebate to employers from the Ohio Bureau of Workers' Compensation.

      Selling and administrative expenses have continued to decline as a
percentage of net sales due to nonrecurring legal, accounting and consulting
costs in 1997 as a result of the Company's initial filings with the Securities
and Exchange Commission.

      Net other expenses for the second quarter of 1998 were $17,593, compared
to $89 for the second quarter of 1997. For the first six months ended June 30,
1998, net other expenses were $30,430, compared to $1,987 for the same period
for 1997. This was due to an increase in interest expense as a result of
borrowings for the purchase of the new gang saw and for working capital.

      The net income was $187,516 for the second quarter of 1998 and $134,496
for the second quarter of 1997. For the six months ended net income was $49,511,
compared to a net loss of $(10,252) for the same period of 1997. Losses are
normally generated during the first quarter of the year and are primarily the
result of the cold weather in the Great Lakes market and its lower demands for
stone.

LIQUIDITY AND SOURCES OF CAPITAL

      The Company's primary source of liquidity is the Company's line of credit
under an agreement between the Company and FirstMerit Bank, N.A. (The "Credit
Agreement"). The Credit Agreement provides for maximum borrowings of $750,000,
with interest payable monthly at a rate equivalent to the prime lending rate.
Borrowings under the Credit Agreement are secured by substantially all real
estate, inventory and equipment of the Company. The outstanding balance at June
30, 1998 and December 31, 1997 was $450,000 and $350,000 respectively.

      Management believes that the Company does not currently have, and is not
expected to have within the next twelve (12) calendar months, any cash flow or
liquidity problems. Management believes that the Company is not in default with
respect to any note, loan, lease or other indebtedness or financing agreement.
The Company is not subject to any unsatisfied judgments, liens or settlement
obligations; however, there are accrued, unpaid and delinquent property taxes
which are being brought current pursuant to a five-year payment plan with the
applicable County.
