  The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated balance sheet as of March 31,
1996 gives effect to the acquisition of the Coal Chemical Business of Aristech
Chemical Corporation ("Clairton") as if the acquisition, accounted for as a
purchase, had occurred on that date. The unaudited pro forma condensed
consolidated statements of operations for the year ended December 31, 1995 and
three months ended March 31, 1996 give effect to the Clairton acquisition as
if it had occurred on January 1, 1995. The pro forma information is based on
historical financial statements of Koppers Industries, Inc. and Clairton after
giving effect to the transaction using the purchase method of accounting and
the assumptions and adjustments in the accompanying notes to the pro forma
financial statements. The pro forma adjustments described in the notes to the
pro forma condensed consolidated financial statements reflect the estimated
allocation of the purchase price to assets and liabilities. Additional
information, primarily related to the actuarial valuations for pension and
post-retirement benefits, and clarification of currently available information
may result in revisions to this estimated allocation.     
 
  The pro forma statements have been prepared by Koppers Industries, Inc.
based upon the financial statements of Clairton (filed with this report under
item 7(a)) which have been provided by Aristech Chemical Corporation. These
pro forma statements may not be indicative of the results that actually would
have occurred if the combination had been in effect on the dates indicated or
which may be obtained in the future. The pro forma financial statements should
be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and notes of
Clairton and the audited financial statements of Koppers Industries, Inc.

                         INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT
 
To the Board of Directors 
Aristech Chemical Corporation:
 
  We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of the Coal Chemical
Business of Aristech Chemical Corporation as of December 31, 1994 and 1995 and
the related statements of income and net cash flows for the years then ended.
These financial statements are the responsibility of management. Our
responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on
our audits.
 
  We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to
obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of
material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence
supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit
also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant
estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial
statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis
for our opinion.
 
  The accompanying financial statements have been prepared from the separate
records maintained by the Coal Chemical Business and may not necessarily be
indicative of the conditions that would have existed or the results of
operations if the Coal Chemical Business had been operated as an unaffiliated
company. Portions of certain income and expenses represent allocations made
from corporate items applicable to Aristech Chemical Corporation as a whole.
 
  In our opinion, such financial statements present fairly, in all material
respects, the financial position of the Coal Chemical Business of Aristech
Chemical Corporation as of December 31, 1994 and 1995, and the results of its
operations and its net cash flows for the years then ended in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles.

                           COAL CHEMICAL BUSINESS OF
                         ARISTECH CHEMICAL CORPORATION
 
                NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--(CONTINUED)
 
1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
 
 Basis of Presentation
 
  The accompanying financial statements have been prepared for the purpose of
presenting the balance sheets of the Coal Chemical Business (the "Business")
of Aristech Chemical Corporation (the "Company") at December 31, 1994 and 1995
and its income and net cash flows to the Company for each of the two years in
the period ended December 31, 1995, in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles.
 
  During the periods covered by the statement of income, the Business was
operated as an integral part of the Company's overall operations. The
financial statements also include various allocated costs and expenses (see
Note 5) which are not necessarily indicative of the costs and expenses which
would have resulted had the Business been operated as a separate company. All
of the allocations and estimates reflected in the financial statements are
based on assumptions that management believes are reasonable.
 
  The Company has not completed the process of evaluating the impact that will
result from adopting Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No.
121, "Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived
Assets to be Disposed Of." The Company is therefore unable to disclose the
impact that adopting SFAS No. 121 will have on net assets and results of
operations of the Business when such statement is adopted.
 
  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
contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and
the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reported period.
Actual results could differ from those estimates.
 
 Cash
 
  The Business participates in the Company's cash management system and,
accordingly, does not maintain cash balances other than minimal imprest
amounts.
 
 Inventories
 
  Inventories are stated at the lower of aggregate cost or market. Cost is
determined primarily by the last-in, first-out ("LIFO") method. Inventory
costs include direct and indirect manufacturing costs associated with the
production of product.
 
 Property, Plant and Equipment
 
  Property, plant and equipment are carried at cost. Major replacements and
improvements which extend the life of the property are capitalized, while
maintenance and repairs are expensed as incurred. Depreciation of plant and
equipment is computed on the straight-line method.
 
  When a plant or major facility within a plant is sold or otherwise disposed
of, any gain or loss is reflected in the statement of income. Proceeds from
the sale of other facilities depreciated on a group basis are credited to the

determined minimum funding requirements of the Employee Retirement Income
Security Act of 1974 nor more than the maximum funding limitation under the
Internal Revenue Code. Contributions are intended to provide benefits for
service to date and for benefits expected to be earned in the future (see Note
4).
 
 Income Taxes
 
  Income taxes are accounted for in accordance with SFAS No. 109, "Accounting
for Income Taxes." Under SFAS No. 109, deferred income taxes are recognized
for the estimated taxes ultimately payable or recoverable based on enacted tax
law. The deferred income taxes are computed annually for differences between
book and tax bases of assets and liabilities that will result in taxable or
deductible amounts in the future. Significant basis differences are due to
depreciation and other liabilities (see Note 6).
 
 Debt
 
  The Business participates in the Company's treasury system and, accordingly,
does not record debt other than the intercompany liability.
 
 Income Recognition
 
  Sales and related costs of sales are included in income when goods are
shipped or services are rendered to the customer.
 
 Intercompany Liability
 
  The Coal Chemical Business is an unincorporated division of Aristech
Chemical Corporation. The equity of the Company in the net assets of the
Business is reflected as an intercompany liability to the Company. The Company
allocates certain income and expenses to the Business via the intercompany
liability (see Note 5).
 
2. LINES OF BUSINESS
 
  The Business operates one tar distillation production facility and a light
oil storage terminal at Clairton, PA. This facility is located adjacent to the
USX Corporation's (USX) Clairton coking facility which supplies approximately
75% of its tar feedstock and light oil requirement under a seven-year

  The primary product derived from the tar distillation process is liquid and
solid pitch which is sold to aluminum manufacturers under contract basis.
Other products obtained in the tar distillation process include creosote used
in wood treating of railroad ties and utility poles and carbon black sold to
the rubber goods industry.
 
  The light oil terminal, which stores light oil for shipment under contract
to one customer, will be transferred to USX at the end of 1996. Light oil
sales for 1994 and 1995 were $14,233,000 and $13,337,000, respectively. The
net book value of the light oil terminal was $2,261,000 and $2,144,000 at
December 31, 1994 and 1995, respectively.
 
  In 1994 and 1995, the Business exported coal chemical products with a total
sales value of $1,884,000 and $1,722,000, respectively. Sales to the
Business's top four customers represented 19%, 13%, 13% and 10% of total 1994

</TABLE>
 
  The discount rates used for calculating the present value of postretirement
benefit liabilities for the hourly employees were 8.75% and 7.25% as of
December 31, 1994 and 1995, respectively.
 
  A health care cost trend rate starting at 8.0% and declining to 4% over a
six-year period to the year 2002 was assumed for 1995. A 1% increase in the
health care cost trend rate would increase the accumulated postretirement
benefit obligation as of December 31, 1995 by 6.1% and the sum of the service
and interest costs in 1995 by 7.4%.
 
  The expense recognized by the Business for other postretirement benefits was
$124,000 and $204,000 in 1994 and 1995, respectively. The expense represents
an allocation of the Company's total other postretirement expense based on the
number of eligible employees of the Business to the Company's total number of
employees.
 
5. ALLOCATED EXPENSES
 
  General administrative and other expenses are allocated to the Business
using methods deemed appropriate for the nature of the expenses involved. The
methods include various allocation bases such as relative investment, number
of employees and related payroll costs, and direct effort expended. Management
of the Company believes the allocations are reasonable, but they are not
necessarily indicative of the costs that would have been incurred had the
Business been a stand-alone entity. Such amounts totaled $2,192,000 in 1994
and $2,036,000 in 1995.

  Operating lease rental expense for 1994 and 1995 was $1,282,000 and
$1,270,000, respectively.
 
10. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
 
  Contract commitments for capital expenditures for property, plant and
equipment totaled $104,000 and $333,000 at December 31, 1994 and 1995,
respectively.
 
  USX has retained responsibility for environmental liabilities relating to
occurrences at the operating facility located in Clairton, Pennsylvania during
USX's ownership prior to December, 1986. The Company has agreed to share in
certain costs relating to this site providing the Company's share does not
exceed $500,000. Such liability has been provided for in the financial
statements.
 
  The Business is subject to pervasive environmental laws and regulations
concerning the production, handling, storage, transportation, emission, and
disposal of waste materials and is also subject to other federal and state
laws and regulations regarding health and safety matters. These laws and
regulations are constantly evolving, and it is impossible to predict
accurately the effect these laws and regulations will have on the Business in
the future.
 
  The Business is also the subject of, or party to, a number of other pending
or threatened legal actions involving a variety of matters. In the opinion of
management, any ultimate liability arising from these contingencies, to the
extent not otherwise provided for, should not have a material adverse effect
on the financial position or results of operations of the Business.
 
11. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
 
  Effective April 1, 1996, the Company sold the Business to Koppers
Industries, Inc. for $39 million, plus assumption of certain liabilities and
adjustments for working capital changes.

            COAL CHEMICAL BUSINESS OF ARISTECH CHEMICAL CORPORATION
 
                       NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                  (UNAUDITED)
 
(1) The interim financial statements include all adjustments which, in the
    opinion of management, are necessary to present fairly the financial
    position and the results of operations and net cash flows for the quarter
    ended March 31, 1995 and 1996. All such adjustments are of a normal,
    recurring nature.
 
(2) The Coal Chemical Business is an unincorporated division of Aristech
    Chemical Corporation. The equity of the Aristech Chemical Corporation in
    the net assets of the Business is reflected as an intercompany liability
    to Aristech Coal Chemical Corporation. The financial statements also
    include various allocated costs and expenses (see Note 6) which are not
    necessarily indicative of the costs and expenses which would have resulted
    had the Business been operated as a separate company. All of the
    allocations and estimates reflected in the financial statements are based
    on assumptions that management believes are reasonable.
 
(3) Effective January 1, 1996, the Business adopted Statement of Financial
    Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 121, "Accounting for the Impairment of
    Long-Lived Assets and Assets to be Disposed Of." Adoption of SFAS 121 had
    no effect on the Business' financial position or results of operations.
 
(4) At March 31, 1996, inventory consisted of $2.1 million of raw materials
    and $2.6 million of finished products. The current cost of these
    inventories was approximately $5 million.
 
(5) Effective April 1, 1996, the Company sold the Business to Koppers
    Industries, Inc. for $39 million, plus the assumption of certain
    liabilities and adjustments for working capital changes.
 
(6) General administrative and other expenses are allocated to the Business
    using methods deemed appropriate for the nature of the expenses involved.
    The methods include various allocation bases such as relative investment,
    number of employees and related payroll costs, and direct effort expended.
    Management of the Company believes the allocations are reasonable, but
    they are not necessarily indicative of the costs that would have been
    incurred had the Business been a stand-alone entity. Such amounts totaled
    $482,000 and $483,000 for the quarters ended March 31, 1995 and 1996,
    respectively.

    costs, and estimated costs for the demolition of unused facilities and
    tank cleaning. The acquisition, primarily financed by additional
    borrowings of $39 million, resulted in goodwill of approximately $13.0
    million.
(2) Adjusted to reflect the elimination of deferred tax assets, accrued taxes
    payable and deferred tax liabilities not assumed by the Company.

(1) Adjusted to reflect the elimination of purchases by the Company from
    Clairton.
 
(2) Adjusted to reflect increased depreciation and amortization expense
    resulting from recording the assets acquired at estimated fair value. The
    Company records depreciation and amortization using the straight-line
    method, over estimated useful lives of 15 years for buildings and
    machinery and 25 years for goodwill.
 
(3) Adjusted to reflect the reversal of corporate overhead costs allocated to
    Clairton by its former parent.
 
(4) Adjusted to reflect increased interest expense to the Company related to
    $39 million of borrowings under the Bank Credit Facilities (as hereinafter
    defined) in connection with the acquisition of Clairton. Interest is
    calculated at an assumed rate of 7.5% (LIBOR plus 1.0%).
   
(5) Adjusted to reflect the Company's estimated pro forma effective tax rate
    of 30.3%, which differs from the statutory rate primarily as a result of
    non-cash equity in earnings of affiliates for which no tax expense is
    provided.     
   
(6) Average shares outstanding for the year ended December 31, 1995 amounted
    to 10,376,658 shares after giving effect to a three-for-one stock split
    effective May 23, 1996.
