                 NOTE TO CONDENSED FINANCIAL INFORMATION
                 ---------------------------------------

     The attached condensed financial information has been prepared
in accordance with instructions for Form 10-Q and, therefore, does
not include all financial note information which might be necessary
for a fair presentation in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles. Such condensed financial information is
unaudited, but in the opinion of management, includes all adjust-
ments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments and
accruals, necessary for a fair presentation of results for the
periods indicated. The net income reported for the periods should
not necessarily be regarded as indicative of net income on an
annualized basis; however, significant variations from the results
for the same period of the previous year, if any, have been
disclosed in the accompanying management's discussion and analysis.

                  Management's Discussion and Analysis of
                  ---------------------------------------

               Financial Condition and Results of Operations
               ----------------------------------------------


Liquidity and Capital Resources
- -------------------------------

     The working capital ratio at September 30, 1994 was 2.0 to 1,
the same as at December 31, 1993, reflecting the continuation of an
adequate level of liquidity necessary to support operations.  The
company's net cash position (cash and cash equivalents plus short-
term investments less short-term borrowings and current portion of
long-term debt and capital lease) declined $10.2 million during the
first nine months of 1994.  This decline was due primarily to a
cash investment and advances of approximately $4.3 million in a
joint venture, cash outlays of about $2.1 million related to the
company's 1993 repositioning program, increased short-term
borrowings to finance the replacement of maturing long-term
obligations with short-term debt, and increases in non-cash
(primarily accounts receivable) working capital.  Working capital
remained virtually unchanged from year-end 1993 due to the
offsetting impacts of the aforementioned changes in net cash and
non-cash working capital.

     Pursuant to the plans identified in the company's 1993
repositioning program, the sale of certain of the company's
businesses and assets were recently completed. On September 30,
1994, and November 7, 1994, respectively, the company consummated
the sales of the businesses which comprised its wholly-owned
subsidiary, Quaker Construction Products, Incorporated (QCP).  On
September 30, 1994, the coatings and waterproofing business of QCP
was sold to Carlisle Coatings & Waterproofing, Incorporated, a
subsidiary of Carlisle Corporation for approximately $8.2 million,
$7.0 million of which was received at settlement.  On November 7,
1994, the flooring business of QCP was sold to Thoro System
Products, Incorporated, a subsidiary of Harris Chemical Group,
Incorporated for approximately $2.8 million.  In addition, the
company sold its Pomona, California manufacturing facility, which
had ceased production in 1993, for approximately $1.0 million on
October 1, 1994.  The transactions are not expected to have a
material impact on the company's operating results.

     During the second and third quarters of 1994, the company
repurchased a total of 304,000 outstanding shares of common stock
for approximately $5.4 million as part of the previously announced
share repurchase program.  The share repurchases were funded
primarily with the above noted business and asset sale proceeds.

                                  - 8 -



Comparison of Nine Months 1994 with Nine Months 1993
- ----------------------------------------------------

     Net sales for the first nine months of 1994 decreased $5.6
million (4%) while income from operations, before repositioning
charges, improved $3.6 million (45%) versus the first nine months
of 1993.  The decrease in sales was the net result of a 3% increase
in volume offset by a decline of 2% from price and sales mix and a
5% decrease associated with the net result of acquisitions and
divestitures.

     Operating margins as a percentage of sales improved in the
first nine months of 1994 when compared to the corresponding period
in 1993 as increased core market volume, improved sales mix, and
cost savings associated with the company's 1993 repositioning
program offset the negative leverage effect of fixed costs on
reduced sales volume.  The after-tax financial benefit generated in
the first nine months of 1994 due to the 1993 repositioning program
was approximately $.05 per share in each quarter.  Other income
rose primarily as a result of increased royalty income.  Interest
income declined due to lower cash holdings by the company.  The
effective tax rate in the first nine months of 1994 decreased 7%
when compared to the first nine months of 1993 due in large part to
the negative influence on the prior year rate of non-deductible
expenses related to both goodwill and a second quarter
repositioning charge.  The decrease in equity in net income from
associated companies was primarily due to business development
investments in a joint venture and lower earnings from the
company's Japanese affiliate which is being hampered by sluggish
demand in the Japanese steel industry.  The negative influence of
currency translation on first nine months 1994 net income was $.01
per share.

     Operating conditions in the United States appear to be
sustainable at the present pace into 1995.  In Europe, there are
encouraging signals as the region's automotive production rates
show signs of sustained improvement, and steel production increases
primarily to meet both local demand and export demand from the
United States and Asia Pacific regions.  However, raw material
price increases have become evident in both the U.S. and Europe
mainly on the larger commodities.  Programs have been initiated to
offset these increases in the fourth quarter and early next year.
However, there may be some lag in the short-term in passing on the
increases due to the longer term nature of some existing contracts
and ongoing pricing pressures exerted by some major customer
groups.  Further improvement in operating results during 1994 is
dependent on the sustainability of the positive economic trends in
Europe, on minimizing the impact of recent raw material price
increases, and on accelerating the effectiveness of the company's
service activities in the United States.

                                  - 9 -



Comparison of Third Quarter 1994 with Third Quarter 1993
- --------------------------------------------------------

     Consolidated net sales for the third quarter of 1994 increased
$1.7 million (3%) while comparative income from operations improved
$2.8 million (218%) versus the third quarter of 1993.  The increase
in sales was primarily due to positive improvements related to
volume and currency translation of 11% and 3%, respectively,
partially offset by an 8% decrease associated with the net result
of acquisitions and divestitures and a decline of 3% from price and
product mix.

     The operating margin improvement in the third quarter of 1994
over 1993 resulted from increased volume (particularly in Europe),
more favorable sales mix, and cost savings associated with the
company's 1993 repositioning program.  The reasons for the changes
in Other Income and Interest Income are basically the same as the
nine-month period.  The change in effective tax rate in the third
quarter 1994 versus 1993 is mainly a result of the combination of
non-deductible expenses and low level of sales in 1993.
