PPG INDUSTRIES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

Notes to Condensed Financial Statements (Unaudited)

1.	Financial Statements

The condensed financial statements included herein are unaudited. In the opinion of management, these statements include all adjustments, consisting only of normal, recurring adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position of PPG Industries, Inc. and subsidiaries (the Company or PPG) at September 30, 2003, and the results of their operations for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2003 and 2002 and their cash flows for the nine month periods then ended. These condensed financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes included in PPG’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2002.

The results of operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2003 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year.

2.	Newly Adopted Accounting Standards

Effective January 1, 2003, PPG adopted the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 143, “Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations.” An asset retirement obligation represents a legal obligation associated with the retirement of a tangible long-lived asset that is incurred upon the acquisition, construction, development or normal operation of that long-lived asset. This standard requires the Company to recognize asset retirement obligations in the period in which they are incurred, if a reasonable estimate of fair value can be made. The asset retirement obligation is subsequently adjusted for changes in fair value. The associated estimated asset retirement costs are capitalized as part of the carrying amount of the long-lived asset and depreciated over its useful life.

Adoption of this new standard on January 1, 2003 resulted in an increase in noncurrent assets, current liabilities and noncurrent liabilities of $4 million, $1 million and $9 million, respectively, and a cumulative effect adjustment reducing net income by $6 million aftertax, or $0.03 a share – assuming dilution.

Effective January 1, 2002, PPG adopted the provisions of SFAS No. 142, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets.” This standard changed the accounting for goodwill and certain other intangible assets from an amortization method to an impairment only approach. Adoption of this standard on January 1, 2002 resulted in a cumulative effect of an accounting change reducing net income by $9 million aftertax, or $0.05 a share – assuming dilution, to reflect an impairment in the carrying value of certain trademarks within the coatings segment.

3.	Other New Accounting Standards

In November 2002, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Interpretation No. 45, “Guarantor’s Accounting and Disclosure Requirements for Guarantees, Including Indirect Guarantees of Indebtedness of Others.” Interpretation No. 45 requires the recognition of liabilities for guarantees that were issued or modified subsequent to December 31, 2002. The liabilities should reflect the fair value, at inception, of the guarantors’ obligations to stand ready to perform, in the event that the specified triggering events or conditions occur. The adoption of this interpretation did not have a material effect on PPG’s results of operations or financial

- 5 -

condition. Interpretation No. 45 also requires reconciliation disclosure concerning product warranty accruals. Product warranty accruals as of September 30, 2003 and December 31, 2002 were not material.

In January 2003, the FASB issued Interpretation No. 46, “Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities.” Interpretation No. 46 requires unconsolidated variable interest entities to be consolidated by their primary beneficiaries if the entities do not effectively disperse the risks and rewards of ownership among their owners and other parties involved. The provisions of Interpretation No. 46 were applicable immediately to all variable interest entities created after January 31, 2003 and variable interest entities in which an enterprise obtains an interest after that date, and for variable interest entities created before this date, the provisions were initially effective July 1, 2003. PPG’s adoption of this interpretation in the third quarter of 2003 did not have a material effect on the Company’s results of operations or financial condition.

5.	Business Restructuring

In conjunction with our continued cost reduction focus, the Company recorded a charge of $6 million during the first half of 2003 for restructuring actions, related to our coatings and glass segments. This charge is for severance benefits for 93 employees. As of September 30, 2003, $3 million of this reserve has been paid. The remaining reserve of $3 million is to be spent by March 31, 2004. During the second quarter of 2003, $2 million of the initial $81 million charge described below, primarily related to the coatings segment, was reversed to income.

In the first quarter of 2002, the Company recorded a charge of $81 million for restructuring and other related activities comprised of $66 million for severance and other costs and $15 million for asset dispositions. The workforce reductions covered by this charge are substantially complete; however, as of September 30, 2003, $12 million of this reserve remained to be spent. Of this amount $3 million relates to other exit costs and severance for approximately 20 employees that will be paid by December 31, 2003. The remaining reserve of $9 million relates to a group of approximately 75 employees in Europe, whose terminations have been concluded under a different social plan than was assumed when the reserve was recorded, 32 of whom have already been released. Under the terms of this social plan, severance payments will be paid to these 75 individuals through 2008.

9.	Comprehensive Income (Loss)

Total comprehensive income (loss) for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2003 and 2002 was as follows:

	Three Months Ended Sept. 30						Nine Months Ended Sept. 30
	2003			2002			2003			2002
	(Millions)
Net income (loss)	$	142		$	148		$	372		$	(163	)
Other comprehensive income, net of tax:
Currency translation adjustment		24			(41	)		195			6
Net change – marketable securities		(5	)		(2	)		(5	)		(7	)
Net change – derivatives (Note 10)		(7	)		—			(10	)		13

		12			(43	)		180			12

Total comprehensive income (loss)	$	154		$	105		$	552		$	(151	)

During the first nine months of 2003, other comprehensive income included a net loss due to marketable securities of $5 million, net of tax. This loss results from unrealized gains of $5 million less a reclassification adjustment of $10 million for realized gains included in net income for the period. The realized gains related to the sale of marketable securities, the majority of which were sold in the third quarter. The unrealized gains related to the change in fair value of the marketable securities, which were subsequently sold.

During the first nine months of 2002, other comprehensive loss included a net loss due to marketable securities of $7 million, net of tax, which represented unrealized losses of $7 million related to the change in fair value of the marketable securities.

10.

Derivative Financial Instruments

PPG uses derivative instruments to manage its exposure to fluctuating natural gas prices through the use of natural gas swap and option contracts. PPG also uses forward currency contracts as hedges against its exposure to variability in exchange rates on short-term intercompany borrowings denominated in foreign currencies and to translation risk and interest rate swaps to hedge its exposure to changing interest rates. The Company recognizes all derivative instruments as either assets or liabilities at fair value. The unrealized change in the fair value of certain of these instruments is deferred in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) and subsequently recognized, when realized, by reclassification of the gain or loss into cost of sales, as natural gas is purchased, and into other earnings or charges, as foreign exchange gains and losses are recognized on the related intercompany borrowings.

During the first nine months of 2003, other comprehensive income included a net loss due to derivatives of $10 million, net of tax. This loss was comprised of realized gains of $24 million and unrealized gains of $14 million. The realized gains related to the settlement during the period of natural gas and forward currency contracts. The unrealized gains during the period related primarily to the changes in fair value of the natural gas contracts outstanding as of September 30, 2003.

During the first nine months of 2002, other comprehensive loss included a net gain due to derivatives of $13 million, net of tax. This gain was comprised of realized losses of $6 million and unrealized gains of $7 million. The realized losses related to the settlement during the period of natural gas and forward currency contracts. The unrealized gains during the period related primarily to the changes in fair value of the natural gas contracts outstanding as of September 30, 2002.

- 10 -

In November 2002, PPG entered into a one-year renewable equity forward arrangement with a bank in order to partially mitigate the impact of changes in the fair value of PPG stock that is to be contributed to the asbestos settlement trust as discussed in Note 13, “Commitments and Contingent Liabilities.” In accordance with the terms of this instrument, the bank purchased 504,900 shares of PPG stock on the open market at a cost of $24 million through December 31, 2002 and during the first quarter of 2003 the bank purchased an additional 400,000 shares at a cost of $19 million. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2003, PPG recorded income of $2 million and $3 million, respectively, for the change in fair value of this instrument, which is reflected in “Asbestos settlement – net” in the condensed statement of income. The fair value of this instrument as of September 30, 2003 was a current asset of $4 million.

11.

Stock-Based Compensation

A portion of the amounts paid under the Company’s total shareholder return plans and its incentive compensation and management award plans may be paid in PPG common stock. Total compensation cost recognized as expense related to these plans was $14 million and $42 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2003, respectively, and $8 million and $35 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2002, respectively.

PPG has two stock option plans, the PPG Stock Option Plan and the Challenge 2000 Stock Option Plan. In accordance with Accounting Principles Board Opinion (APB) No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees,” no compensation cost for PPG’s stock option plans has been recognized in the accompanying condensed financial statements. Had compensation cost for PPG’s stock option plans been determined based upon the estimated fair value at the grant date consistent with the methodology prescribed in SFAS No. 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation,” net income (loss), earnings (loss) per common share and earnings (loss) per common share – assuming dilution would have been as follows:

Cash Flow Information

Cash payments for interest were $91 million and $111 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2003 and 2002, respectively. Net cash payments for income taxes for the nine months ended September 30, 2003 and 2002 were $145 million and $218 million, respectively.

In 2003, the Company received proceeds of $37 million from the sale of certain non-strategic assets, including marketable securities, which are included in “Reductions of other property and investments” in the investing section in the accompanying condensed statement of cash flows. The gain recognized on the sale of these assets was $24 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2003, which is reflected in “Other – net” in the accompanying condensed statement of income.

During the third quarter of 2002, the Company resolved all matters with the Internal Revenue Service related to its federal income tax returns for the years 1994 to 1998, including matters that were on appeal related to the 1994 to 1996 tax returns. In connection with the resolution of these matters, the Company surrendered in July 2002 certain company-owned life insurance policies and received proceeds of $32 million, which are included in “Reductions of other property and investments” in the investing section in the accompanying condensed statement of cash flows.

Commitments and Contingent Liabilities

PPG is involved in a number of lawsuits and claims, both actual and potential, including some that it has asserted against others, in which substantial monetary damages are sought. These lawsuits and claims, the most significant of which are described below, relate to product liability, contract, patent, environmental, antitrust and other matters arising out of the conduct of PPG’s business. To the extent that these lawsuits and claims involve personal injury and property damage, PPG believes it has adequate insurance; however, certain of PPG’s insurers are contesting coverage with respect to some of these claims, and other insurers, as they had prior to the asbestos settlement described below, may contest coverage with respect to some of the asbestos claims if the settlement is not implemented. PPG’s lawsuits and claims against others include claims against insurers and other third parties with respect to actual and contingent losses related to environmental, asbestos and other matters.

The result of any future litigation of such lawsuits and claims is inherently unpredictable. However, management believes that, in the aggregate, the outcome of all lawsuits and claims involving PPG, including asbestos-related claims in the event the settlement described below does not become effective, will not have a material effect on PPG’s consolidated financial position or liquidity; however, such outcome may be material to the results of operations of any particular period in which costs, if any, are recognized.

The Company has been named in a number of antitrust lawsuits, including suits alleging that PPG acted with competitors to fix prices and allocate markets in the automotive refinish industry and a class action relating to certain glass products. The automotive refinish claims have been consolidated, but the proceedings are still at an early stage. All of the initial defendants in the glass class action antitrust case, other than PPG, have settled. On May 29, 2003, the federal district court granted PPG’s motion for summary judgment dismissing the claims against PPG in the glass class action antitrust case. The plaintiffs in that case have appealed that order to the federal circuit court of appeals. PPG believes it has meritorious defenses to these antitrust claims.

The Company has been a defendant since April 1994 in a suit filed by Marvin Windows and Doors (Marvin) alleging numerous claims, including breach of warranty. All of the plaintiff’s claims, other than breach of warranty, were dismissed. However, on February 14, 2002, a

- 12 -

federal jury awarded Marvin $136 million on the remaining claim. Subsequently, the court added $20 million for interest bringing the total judgment to $156 million. PPG has appealed that judgment. The appeals court has heard the parties’ arguments, but has not yet rendered its decision. PPG believes it has meritorious defenses to the plaintiff’s claims and has reasonable prospects of prevailing on appeal.

For over thirty years, PPG has been a defendant in lawsuits involving claims alleging personal injury from exposure to asbestos. At September 30, 2003, PPG was one of many defendants in numerous asbestos-related lawsuits involving approximately 116,000 claims. Most of PPG’s potential exposure relates to allegations by plaintiffs that PPG should be liable for injuries involving asbestos-containing thermal insulation products manufactured and distributed by Pittsburgh Corning Corporation (PC). PPG and Corning Incorporated are each 50% shareholders of PC. PPG has denied responsibility for, and has defended, all claims for any injuries caused by PC products.

On April 16, 2000, PC filed for Chapter 11 Bankruptcy in the Federal Bankruptcy Court in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. Accordingly, in the first quarter of 2000, PPG recorded an aftertax charge of $35 million for the write-off of all of its investment in PC. As a consequence of the bankruptcy filing and various motions and orders in that proceeding, the asbestos litigation against PPG (as well as against PC) has been stayed and the filing of additional asbestos suits against them has been enjoined, until thirty days after the effective date of a confirmed plan of reorganization for PC substantially in accordance with the settlement arrangement among PPG and several other parties discussed below. The stay may be terminated if the Bankruptcy Court determines that such a plan will not be confirmed, or the settlement arrangement set forth below is not likely to be consummated.

On May 14, 2002, PPG announced that it had agreed with several other parties, including certain of its insurance carriers, the official committee representing asbestos claimants in the PC bankruptcy (ACC), and the legal representatives of future asbestos claimants appointed in the PC bankruptcy, on the terms of a settlement arrangement relating to asbestos claims against PPG and PC (the “PPG Settlement Arrangement”).

On March 28, 2003, Corning Incorporated announced that it had separately reached its own arrangement with the representatives of asbestos claimants for the settlement of certain asbestos claims that might arise from PC products or operations (the “Corning Settlement Arrangement”).

The terms of the PPG Settlement Arrangement and the Corning Settlement Arrangement have been incorporated into a bankruptcy reorganization plan for PC along with a disclosure statement describing the plan, which PC filed with the Bankruptcy Court on April 30, 2003. A first amended plan and disclosure statement was filed on August 18, 2003. Creditors and other parties with an interest in the bankruptcy proceeding may file objections to the disclosure statement or the plan of reorganization, and a few parties have filed objections. After considering objections to the disclosure statement, the Bankruptcy Court, if it approves the disclosure statement, would permit the plan of reorganization and the disclosure statement to be sent to creditors, including asbestos claimants, for voting. In order to approve the plan, at least two-thirds in amount and more than one-half in number of the allowed creditors in a given class must vote in favor of the plan, and for a plan to contain a channeling injunction for present and future asbestos claims under §524(g) of the Bankruptcy Code, as described below, seventy-five percent of the asbestos claimants voting must vote in favor of the plan. Assuming that the plan receives the requisite votes, the judge would conduct another hearing regarding the fairness of the settlement, including whether the plan would be fair with respect to present and future claimants, whether such claimants would be treated in substantially the same manner, and whether the protection provided to PPG and its participating insurers would be fair in view of the assets they would convey to the asbestos settlement trust (Trust) to be established as part of the plan. At that hearing, creditors and parties in

- 13 -

interest could raise objections to the plan. Following that hearing, the Bankruptcy Court, after considering objections to the plan, would enter a confirmation order if all requirements to confirm a plan of reorganization under the Bankruptcy Code, including the requirements described above, have been satisfied; this order may be appealed to the District Court. (The District Court may join the Bankruptcy Court in the confirmation order, in which case an appeal to the District Court would not be necessary.) Assuming that the District Court approves the confirmation order, interested parties could appeal the order to the U.S. Circuit Court and subsequently to the U.S. Supreme Court. The PPG Settlement Arrangement would not become effective until 30 days after the plan of reorganization was finally approved by an appropriate court order that was no longer subject to appeal (the “Effective Date”).

If the PC plan of reorganization incorporating the terms of the PPG Settlement Arrangement were approved by the Bankruptcy Court and all legal requirements under the Bankruptcy Code or otherwise were satisfied, the Court would enter a channeling injunction under §524(g) and other provisions of the Bankruptcy Code, prohibiting present and future claimants from asserting bodily injury claims against PPG or its subsidiaries or PC relating to the manufacture, distribution or sale of asbestos-containing products by PC or PPG or its subsidiaries. The injunction would also prohibit co-defendants in those cases from asserting claims against PPG or its subsidiaries for contribution, indemnification or other recovery. All such claims would have to be filed with the Trust and only paid from the assets of the Trust.

The channeling injunction would not extend to claims against PPG alleging injury caused by asbestos on premises owned, leased or occupied by PPG (so called “premises claims”), or claims alleging property damage resulting from asbestos. Approximately 9,000 of the 116,000 claims pending against PPG and its subsidiaries are premises claims. Many of PPG’s premises claims have been resolved without payment from PPG. To date, PPG has paid about $7 million to settle approximately 1,100 premises claims, virtually all of which has been covered by PPG’s insurers. There are no property damage claims pending against PPG or its subsidiaries. PPG believes that it has adequate insurance for the asbestos claims not covered by the channeling injunction and that any financial exposure resulting from such claims will not have a material effect on PPG’s consolidated financial position, liquidity or results of operations.

PPG has no obligation to pay any amounts under the PPG Settlement Arrangement until the Effective Date. PPG and certain of its insurers (along with PC) would then make payments to the Trust, which would provide the sole source of payment for all present and future asbestos bodily injury claims against PPG, its subsidiaries or PC alleged to be caused by the manufacture, distribution or sale of asbestos products by these companies. PPG would convey the following assets to the Trust. First, PPG would convey the stock it owns in PC and Pittsburgh Corning Europe. Second, PPG would transfer 1,388,889 shares of PPG’s common stock. Third, PPG would make aggregate cash payments to the Trust of approximately $998 million, payable according to a fixed payment schedule over 21 years, beginning on June 30, 2003, or, if later, the Effective Date. PPG would have the right, in its sole discretion, to prepay these cash payments to the Trust at any time at a discount rate of 5.5% per annum. Under the payment schedule, the amounts due June 30, 2003 and 2004 are $75 million and $98 million, respectively. In addition to the conveyance of these assets, PPG would pay $30 million in legal fees and expenses on behalf of the Trust to recover proceeds from certain historical insurance assets, including policies issued by certain insurance carriers that are not participating in the settlement, the rights to which would be assigned to the Trust by PPG.

PPG’s participating historical insurance carriers would make cash payments to the Trust of approximately $1.7 billion between the Effective Date and 2023. These payments could also be prepaid to the Trust at any time at a discount rate of 5.5% per annum as of the prepayment date. In addition, as referenced above, PPG would assign to the Trust its rights, insofar as they relate to the asbestos claims to be resolved by the Trust, to the proceeds of policies issued by certain insurance carriers that are not participating in the PPG Settlement Arrangement and from the estates of insolvent insurers and state insurance guaranty funds.

- 14 -

PPG would grant asbestos releases to all participating insurers, subject to a coverage-in-place agreement with certain insurers for the continuing coverage of premises claims (discussed above). PPG would grant certain participating insurers full policy releases on primary policies and full product liability releases on excess coverage policies. PPG would also grant certain other participating excess insurers credit against their product liability coverage limits.

In the second quarter of 2002, PPG recorded a pretax charge of $772 million, or $495 million aftertax, reflecting the estimated cost of the PPG Settlement Arrangement. That amount included the net present value, using a discount rate of 5.5%, of the aggregate cash payments of approximately $998 million to be made by PPG to the Trust. That amount also included the carrying value of PPG’s stock in Pittsburgh Corning Europe, the fair value as of June 30, 2002 of 1,388,889 shares of PPG common stock and $30 million in legal fees of the Trust to be paid by PPG, which together with the first payment originally scheduled to be made to the Trust on June 30, 2003, were reflected in the current liability for PPG’s asbestos settlement in the accompanying balance sheet. The net present value of the remaining payments of $566 million was recorded in the noncurrent liability for asbestos settlement. During the third and fourth quarters of 2002, income was recognized and the current liability for PPG’s asbestos settlement was reduced by $16 million, reflecting the decline in the fair value from June 30, 2002 to December 31, 2002 of the shares of PPG common stock which are to be transferred to the asbestos settlement trust. In addition, a change in the fair value of the related equity forward instrument (see Note 10, “Derivative Financial Instruments”) reduced PPG’s asbestos settlement charge by $1 million.

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2003, PPG recorded a pretax charge of $8 million and $24 million, respectively, related to the change in the current value of its asbestos settlement obligation. This includes an increase in the net present value of the payments to be made to the Trust, which increased the noncurrent asbestos settlement liability by $8 million and $24 million, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2003, respectively. A similar increase will occur each quarter through the end of 2004. It also includes the change in fair value of the PPG stock which increased PPG’s current asbestos settlement liability by $2 million and $3 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2003, respectively, and the change in fair value of the related equity forward instrument which was income of $2 million and $3 million for the three and the nine months ended September 30, 2003, respectively (see Note 10, “Derivative Financial Instruments”). Additionally, the payment due June 30, 2004 of $98 million has been reclassified to the current portion of the asbestos settlement liability as of September 30, 2003.

Because the filing of asbestos claims against the Company has been enjoined since April 2000, a significant number of additional claims may be filed against the Company if the Bankruptcy Court stay were to expire. If the PPG Settlement Arrangement is not implemented, for any reason, and the Bankruptcy Court stay expires, the Company intends to vigorously defend the pending and any future asbestos claims against it and its subsidiaries. The Company believes that it is not responsible for any injuries caused by PC products, which represent the preponderance of the pending bodily injury claims against it. Prior to 2000, PPG had never been found liable for any such claims, in numerous cases PPG had been dismissed on motions prior to trial, and aggregate settlements by PPG to date have been immaterial. In January 2000, in a trial in a state court in Texas involving six plaintiffs, the jury found PPG not liable. However, a week later in a separate trial also in a state court in Texas, another jury found PPG, for the first time, partly responsible for injuries to five plaintiffs alleged to be caused by PC products. PPG intends to appeal the adverse verdict in the event the settlement does not become effective. Although PPG has successfully defended asbestos claims brought against it in the past, in view of the number of claims, and the questionable verdicts and awards that other companies have experienced in asbestos litigation, the result of any future litigation of such claims is inherently unpredictable.

- 15 -

It is PPG’s policy to accrue expenses for environmental contingencies when it is probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount of loss can be reasonably estimated. Reserves for environmental contingencies are exclusive of claims against third parties and are generally not discounted. As of September 30, 2003 and December 31, 2002, PPG had reserves for environmental contingencies totaling $89 million and $87 million, respectively. Pretax charges against income for environmental remediation costs for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2003 totaled $12 million and $14 million, respectively, and $2 million and $10 million, respectively, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2002, and are included in “Other – net” in the accompanying condensed statement of income. Cash outlays related to such environmental remediation for the nine months ended September 30, 2003 and 2002 aggregated $12 million and $18 million, respectively.

Management anticipates that the resolution of the Company’s environmental contingencies will occur over an extended period of time. Over the past 10 years the pretax charges against income have ranged between $10 million and $49 million per year. We anticipate that charges against income in 2003 will be within that range. It is possible, however, that technological, regulatory and enforcement developments, the results of environmental studies and other factors could alter this expectation. In management’s opinion, the Company operates in an environmentally sound manner and the outcome of the Company’s environmental contingencies will not have a material effect on PPG’s financial position or liquidity.

In addition to the amounts currently reserved, the Company may be subject to loss contingencies related to environmental matters estimated to be as much as $200 million to $400 million, which range is unchanged from the prior year end. Such unreserved losses are reasonably possible but are not currently considered to be probable of occurrence. The Company’s environmental contingencies are expected to be resolved over an extended period of time.

Although the unreserved exposure to future loss relates to all sites, a significant portion of such exposure involves three operating plant sites in our chemicals segment. Initial remedial actions are occurring at these sites. Studies to determine the nature of the contamination are reaching completion and the need for additional remedial actions, if any, is presently being evaluated. The loss contingencies related to the remaining portion of such unreserved exposure include significant unresolved issues such as the nature and extent of contamination, if any, at these other sites and the methods that may have to be employed should remediation be required. The most significant of these other sites is the Calcasieu River estuary, near our Lake Charles, La. chemicals plant. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA) has completed investigation of contamination levels in the Calcasieu River estuary and issued a Final Remedial Investigation Report in September 2003, which incorporates the Human Health and Ecological Risk Assessments, indicating that elevated levels of risk exist in the estuary. PPG is negotiating with the Louisiana Department of Environmental Quality and other parties to fund a feasibility study. Based upon the results of the feasibility study, an evaluation will be made to determine, what, if any, role PPG would have with respect to future remedial actions.

With respect to certain waste sites, the financial condition of any other potentially responsible parties also contributes to the uncertainty of estimating PPG’s final costs. Although contributors of waste to sites involving other potentially responsible parties may face governmental agency assertions of joint and several liability, in general, final allocations of costs are made based on the relative contributions of wastes to such sites. PPG is generally not a major contributor to such sites.

- 16 -

The impact of evolving programs, such as natural resource damage claims, industrial site reuse initiatives and state voluntary remediation programs, also adds to the present uncertainties with regard to the ultimate resolution of this unreserved exposure to future loss. The Company’s assessment of the potential impact of these environmental contingencies is subject to considerable uncertainty due to the complex, ongoing and evolving process of investigation and remediation, if necessary, of such environmental contingencies.

In June 2003, our partner in a fiber glass joint venture in South America filed for bankruptcy. Upon resolution of the bankruptcy proceedings, the partner’s ownership interest may transfer to one of its senior secured creditors or be sold. While PPG expects operations at the joint venture to continue, the Company is currently evaluating its options with respect to this venture, which include its sale or the liquidation of the venture. Should liquidation occur, PPG’s exposure to loss would be limited to $10 million, which includes a combination of the Company’s investment, outstanding receivables and a loan guarantee related to this venture.

Item 2.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

Performance in Third Quarter of 2003 Compared to Third Quarter of 2002

Performance Overview

Sales increased 7% for the third quarter of 2003 to $2.21 billion compared to $2.07 billion for the third quarter of 2002. A net improvement in our selling prices drove a 1% increase in our sales while higher volumes accounted for 2% of the growth. The remaining 4% increase was due to the positive effects of foreign currency translation, primarily from our European operations.

The gross profit percentage increased to 37.9% for the third quarter of 2003 compared to 37.6% for the third quarter of 2002. Higher selling prices in our chemicals segment and the benefits realized from improved manufacturing efficiencies in our coatings and glass segments were offset by higher energy costs in our glass and chemicals segments, inflationary cost increases and higher pension and postretirement medical costs across all of our business segments.

Net income and earnings per share – assuming dilution for the third quarter of 2003 were $142 million and $0.83, respectively, compared to $148 million and $0.87, respectively, for the same quarter in 2002. Net income for the third quarter of 2003 included an aftertax charge of $5 million, or 3 cents a share, to reflect the net change in the current value of the Company’s obligation under the asbestos settlement agreement, as discussed in Note 13, “Commitments and Contingent Liabilities,” to the accompanying condensed financial statements. Net income for the third quarter of 2002 included aftertax income of $15 million, or 9 cents a share, to reflect the change in the current value of the Company’s obligation under the asbestos settlement agreement.

The change in the current value of the asbestos settlement negatively impacted the comparison of third quarter 2003 net income to third quarter 2002 net income by $20 million. The remaining $14 million year-over-year improvement in net income was due to higher selling prices, increased volume, manufacturing efficiencies, lower interest expense due to lower debt levels in 2003, the gain on the sale of certain non-strategic assets, including marketable securities, and the favorable effects of foreign currency translation, primarily from our European operations. Higher pension, postretirement medical and energy costs and inflationary cost increases lowered the impact of these improvements.

Performance of Business Segments

Coatings sales increased 7% to $1.22 billion compared to $1.14 billion for the third quarter of 2002. The sales increase reflects a combination of a 3% increase from improved sales volumes across all of our coatings businesses and a 5% increase due to the positive effects of foreign currency translation, principally from our European operations, offset by a 1% decrease in lower selling prices. Operating income was $185 million for the third quarter of 2003 compared to $178 million for the same quarter in 2002. Factors increasing operating income were the higher sales volumes described above, lower overhead costs, improved manufacturing efficiencies and the favorable effects of foreign currency translation. Factors decreasing operating income were lower selling prices, inflationary cost increases, higher environmental remediation costs and higher pension and postretirement medical costs.

Glass sales increased 2% to $549 million compared to $536 million for the third quarter of 2002. The sales increase reflects a 5% increase in sales volumes, principally from our automotive original equipment, automotive replacement glass and flat glass businesses, net of

- 18 -

lower volumes from our fiber glass business. In addition, the positive effects of foreign currency translation, primarily from our European fiber glass operations, contributed a 2% sales increase. These sales increases were offset by a 5% decline in selling prices from our automotive original equipment, automotive replacement glass and fiber glass businesses. Operating income was $26 million for the third quarter of 2003 compared to $45 million for the same quarter in 2002. Factors decreasing operating income were the lower selling prices described above, higher energy costs and higher pension and postretirement medical costs. Factors increasing operating income were the impact of higher sales volumes described above, improved manufacturing efficiencies, lower overhead costs and the favorable effects of foreign currency translation.

Chemicals sales increased 10% to $436 million compared to $396 million for the third quarter of 2002. The sales increase reflects an 11% increase due to higher selling prices for our commodity products and a 2% increase due to the positive effects of foreign currency translation. These sales increases were offset by a 3% decrease in sales due to lower volumes for our commodity products. Operating income was $65 million for the third quarter of 2003 compared to $41 million for the same quarter in 2002. Factors increasing operating income were the higher selling prices described above, improved volumes for our optical business and the favorable effects of foreign currency translation. Factors decreasing operating income were higher energy and environmental remediation costs, higher selling and advertising costs in our optical business and higher pension and postretirement medical costs.

Performance in the First Nine Months of 2003 Compared to the First Nine Months of 2002

Performance Overview

Sales increased 8% for the first nine months of 2003 to $6.58 billion compared to $6.08 billion for the first nine months of 2002. Increases in volumes across all of our business segments accounted for an increase in sales of 2% while higher selling prices in our chemicals segment, net of lower selling prices in our coatings and glass segments, added another 2%. The remaining 4% increase was due to the positive effects of foreign currency translation, primarily from our European operations.

The gross profit percentage decreased to 36.8% for the first nine months of 2003 compared to 37.4% for the first nine months of 2002. Higher energy costs in our glass and chemicals segments, inflationary cost increases and higher pension and postretirement medical costs across all of our business segments were offset by higher selling prices in our chemicals segment and the benefits realized from improved manufacturing efficiencies in our coatings and glass segments.

Net income and earnings per share – assuming dilution for the first nine months of 2003 were $372 million and $2.18, respectively, compared to a net loss of $163 million or a loss per share – assuming dilution of $0.96 for the first nine months of 2002. Net income for the first nine months of 2003 included aftertax charges of $15 million, or 9 cents a share, to reflect the net change in the current value of the Company’s obligation under the asbestos settlement agreement, as discussed in Note 13, $6 million, or 3 cents a share, for the cumulative effect of an accounting change and $2 million, or 1 cent a share, for restructuring costs, as discussed in Note 5, “Business Restructuring,” to the accompanying condensed financial statements. The net loss for the first nine months of 2002 included aftertax charges of $480 million, or $2.83 a share, for the asbestos settlement, as discussed in Note 13, $52 million, or $0.31 a share, for restructuring and other related activities, as discussed in Note 5, and $9 million, or 5 cents a share, for the cumulative effect of an accounting change.

- 19 -

Net income for the first nine months of 2003 compared to the first nine months of 2002 was $535 million higher. The initial charge for the asbestos settlement and the subsequent changes in the current value of the asbestos settlement accounted for $465 million of this difference and lower restructuring costs accounted for $50 million. The remaining $20 million year-over-year improvement in net income was due to higher sales volumes across all of our business segments, higher selling prices in our chemicals segment, lower overhead costs and improved manufacturing efficiencies in our coatings and glass segments, lower interest expense due to lower debt levels in 2003, the gain on the sale of certain non-strategic assets, including marketable securities, and the favorable effects of foreign currency translation, primarily from our European operations. Higher energy costs in our glass and chemicals segments, inflationary cost increases, higher pension and postretirement medical costs across all of our businesses and higher environmental remediation costs lowered the impact of these improvements.

Performance of Business Segments

Coatings sales increased 6% to $3.59 billion compared to $3.38 billion for the first nine months of 2002. The sales increase reflects a 1% improvement due to higher sales volumes in our architectural, aerospace, industrial and automotive original equipment businesses and a 5% increase due to the positive effects of foreign currency translation, primarily from our European operations. Operating income was $526 million for the first nine months of 2003 compared to $460 million for the same period in 2002. Factors increasing operating income were the higher sales volumes described above, lower restructuring costs in 2003, improved manufacturing efficiencies, lower overhead costs and the favorable effects of foreign currency translation. Factors decreasing operating income were the lower selling prices described above, inflationary cost increases and higher pension and postretirement medical costs.

Glass sales increased 4% to $1.64 billion compared to $1.58 billion for the first nine months of 2002. The sales increase reflects a 4% increase in sales volumes, principally from our automotive original equipment, automotive replacement glass and flat glass businesses, net of lower volumes from our fiber glass business. In addition, the positive effects of foreign currency translation, primarily from our European fiber glass operations, contributed a 3% sales increase. These sales increases were offset by a 3% decline in selling prices from our automotive original equipment, automotive replacement glass and fiber glass businesses. Operating income was $60 million for the first nine months of 2003 compared to $114 million for the same period in 2002. Factors decreasing operating income were the lower selling prices described above, higher energy costs and higher pension and postretirement medical costs. Factors increasing operating income were the higher sales volumes described above, improved manufacturing efficiencies, lower overhead costs and the favorable effects of foreign currency translation. Our fiber glass business continues to experience significant sales and earnings declines principally as a result of global overcapacity within the industry, which has led to lower pricing. Although there is little evidence of recovery in the near-term, PPG will continue to maintain its focus on lowering its cost structure and will identify opportunities for efficiencies to strengthen its market position for the long-term.

Chemicals sales increased 20% to $1.35 billion compared to $1.12 billion for the first nine months of 2002. The sales increase reflects a 15% increase due to higher selling prices for our commodity products. In addition, sales improved 2% from higher optical, fine and silicas products volumes, net of lower commodity volumes, and a 3% due to the positive effects of foreign currency translation. Operating income was $181 million for the first nine months of 2003 compared to $90 million for the same period in 2002. Factors increasing operating income were the higher selling prices and sales volumes described above and the favorable effects of foreign currency translation. Factors decreasing operating earnings were higher energy and environmental remediation costs, inflationary cost increases, higher pension and postretirement medical costs, higher selling and advertising costs in our optical business and lower equity earnings.

- 20 -

Other Factors

The Company’s pretax earnings for the first nine months of 2003 included net periodic pension expense of $131 million compared to $37 million for the same period in 2002. These amounts are included in “Cost of sales,” “Selling, general and administrative” and “Research and development” in the accompanying condensed statement of income. This trend of increased cost will continue for the remainder of 2003. The increase in pension costs is due primarily to a decrease in the market value of pension plan assets through the end of 2002, a reduction in the expected return on plan assets assumption for 2003 and the amortization of accumulated actuarial losses. In addition, the cost of other postretirement benefits during the first nine months of 2003 is $17 million higher compared to similar amounts for the first nine months of 2002 due to higher medical costs.

At December 31, 2002, the fair market value of our pension plan assets was less than the accumulated benefit obligation (ABO) resulting in a minimum pension liability being recorded that reduced shareholders’ equity by $775 million. Based on our current forecast of the ABO at the end of 2003, assuming a discount rate of 6.0%, and assuming the fair market value of our pension plan assets at year end will be equal to their value as of September 30, 2003, we anticipate that equity will be further reduced by approximately $25 million due to an increase in the additional minimum pension liability. Additionally, based on our current forecast, we expect pension and postretirement medical expense for 2004 to be approximately $35 million higher than in 2003.

The tax rate on earnings, excluding charges for restructuring and the asbestos settlement, in the first nine months of 2003 and 2002 was 36%. Including the tax benefit of the restructuring charges and the asbestos settlement, the overall effective tax rate was 35.8% and 34.4% for the first nine months of 2003 and 2002, respectively. Continued growth of our earnings in lower tax rate jurisdictions such as Asia and parts of Europe could lead to a lower tax rate in the future.

In order to reduce the risks associated with volatile prices for natural gas, the Company continues to use hedging. As of September 30, 2003, we have a small portion of our 2004 requirements hedged at prices below $5.00 per million British thermal units.

Amounts presented as “Selling, general and administrative” in the accompanying condensed statement of income are comprised of selling, customer service, distribution and advertising costs, as well as the costs of providing corporate-wide functional support in such areas as finance, law, human resources, and planning. Distribution costs pertain to the movement and storage of finished goods inventory at company-owned and leased warehouses, terminals and other distribution facilities. Certain of these costs may be included in cost of sales by other companies, resulting in a lack of comparability between our gross profit and that of other companies.

New Accounting Standards

Note 2, “Newly Adopted Accounting Standards,” to the accompanying condensed financial statements describes and quantifies the impact of the Company’s adoption of the provisions of the Financial Accounting Standards Board’s (FASB) new standards on the accounting for asset retirement obligations, effective January 1, 2003, and the accounting for goodwill and other intangible assets, effective January 1, 2002. See Note 3, “Other New Accounting Standards,” to the accompanying condensed financial statements for a description of the FASB’s Interpretation No. 45, “Guarantor’s Accounting and Disclosure Requirements for Guarantees, Including Indirect Guarantees of Indebtedness of Others” and Interpretation No. 46, “Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities.”

Commitments and Contingent Liabilities, including Environmental Matters

PPG is involved in a number of lawsuits and claims, both actual and potential, including some that it has asserted against others, in which substantial monetary damages are sought. See Note 13, “Commitments and Contingent Liabilities,” to the accompanying condensed financial statements for an expanded description of certain of these lawsuits, including the proposed

- 21 -

PPG Settlement Arrangement for asbestos claims announced on May 14, 2002. As discussed in Note 13, although the result of any future litigation of such lawsuits and claims is inherently unpredictable, management believes that, in the aggregate, the outcome of all lawsuits and claims involving PPG, including asbestos-related claims in the event the PPG Settlement Arrangement described in Note 13 does not become effective, will not have a material effect on PPG’s consolidated financial position or liquidity; however, such outcome may be material to the results of operations of any particular period in which the costs, if any, are recognized.

- 22 -

Financial Resources

Cash from operating activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2003 was $770 million compared with $592 million for the comparable period of 2002. Cash from operations and the Company’s debt capacity have been and are expected to continue to be sufficient to fund capital spending, dividend payments, contributions to pension plans, amounts due under the asbestos settlement and operating requirements.

The decrease in total debt during the first nine months of 2003 is due primarily to the repayment of various non-U.S. debt obligations.

Although improvements in the equity markets have occurred during 2003, the discount rates continue to decline and as a result, we do not expect the underfunded status of our defined benefit pension plans to be significantly different than that at December 31, 2002; nevertheless, our current estimate under existing U.S. pension funding regulations is that with available funding credits there will be no mandatory pension funding requirement until 2006 at the earliest. However, the Company chose to make a voluntary contribution of $22 million to the U.S. pension plans during the third quarter of 2003. No further contributions to the U.S. pension plans are contemplated at this time.

Forward-Looking Statements

The Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 provides a safe harbor for forward-looking statements made by or on behalf of the Company. Management’s Discussion and Analysis and other sections of this Form 10-Q contain forward-looking statements that reflect the Company’s current views with respect to future events and financial performance.

Forward-looking statements are identified by the use of the words “aim,” “believe,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “intend,” “estimate” and other expressions that indicate future events and trends. Any forward-looking statement speaks only as of the date on which such statement is made and the Company undertakes no obligation to update any forward-looking statement, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise. You are advised, however, to consult any further disclosures we make on related subjects in our reports to the Securities and Exchange Commission. Also, note the following cautionary statements.

- 23 -

Many factors could cause actual results to differ materially from the Company’s forward-looking statements. Among these factors are increasing price and product competition by foreign and domestic competitors, fluctuations in the cost and availability of raw materials, the ability to maintain favorable supplier relationships and arrangements, economic and political conditions in international markets, the ability to penetrate existing, developing and emerging foreign and domestic markets, which also depends on economic and political conditions, foreign exchange rates and fluctuations in those rates, and the unpredictability of possible future litigation, including litigation that could result if PPG’s Settlement Agreement for asbestos claims does not become effective. Further, it is not possible to predict or identify all such factors. Consequently, while the list of factors presented here is considered representative, no such list should be considered to be a complete statement of all potential risks and uncertainties. Unlisted factors may present significant additional obstacles to the realization of forward-looking statements.

The consequences of material differences in the results as compared to those anticipated in the forward-looking statements could include, among other things, business disruption, operational problems, financial loss, legal liability to third parties and similar risks, any of which could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s consolidated financial condition, operations or liquidity.

Item 3.

Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

PPG had non-US dollar denominated debt of $39 million as of September 30, 2003 and $317 million as of December 31, 2002. A weakening of the U.S. dollar by 10% against European currencies and by 20% against Asian and South American currencies would have resulted in unrealized translation losses of approximately $9 million as of September 30, 2003.

Item 4.

Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures. Based on their evaluation as of the end of the period covered by this Form 10-Q, the Company’s principal executive officer and principal financial officer have concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”)) are effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in Securities and Exchange Commission rules and forms.

Changes in internal control over financial reporting. There were no significant changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the Company’s most recent fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1.

Legal Proceedings

In the Company’s Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2003, it was reported that, in March 2003, the United States Environmental Protection Agency, Region 6 (USEPA) had informed PPG that the USEPA would seek penalties from PPG relating to a comprehensive inspection of PPG’s Lake Charles, Louisiana facility conducted in May and June of 1999. In September 2003, PPG and the USEPA entered into a Consent Agreement and Final Order under which PPG will pay a civil penalty of $99,000 and implement a supplemental environmental project settling this matter.

Item 2.

Change in Securities and Use of Proceeds

Directors who are not also Officers of the Company receive Common Stock Equivalents pursuant to the Deferred Compensation Plan for Directors. Retired Directors receive dividend equivalents in the form of Common Stock Equivalents pursuant to the Directors’ Common Stock Plan. Common Stock Equivalents are hypothetical shares of Common Stock having a value on any given date equal to the value of a share of Common Stock. Common Stock Equivalents earn dividend equivalents that are converted into additional Common Stock Equivalents but carry no voting rights or other rights of a holder of Common Stock. The Common Stock Equivalents credited to Directors under both plans are exempt from registration under Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933 as private offerings made only to Directors of the Company in accordance with the provisions of the plans.

Under the Company’s Deferred Compensation Plan for Directors, each Director must defer receipt of such compensation as the Board mandates. Currently, the Board mandates deferral of one-third of each payment of the basic annual retainer of each Director. Each Director may also elect to defer the receipt of (i) an additional one-third of each payment of the basic annual retainer, (ii) all of the basic annual retainer, or (iii) all compensation. All deferred payments are held in the form of Common Stock Equivalents. Payments out of the deferred accounts are made in the form of Common Stock of the Company (and cash as to any fractional Common Stock Equivalent). In the third quarter of 2003, the Directors, as a group, were credited with 1,071 Common Stock Equivalents under this Plan. The values of the Common Stock Equivalents, when credited, ranged from $52.22 to $56.47.

The Directors’ Common Stock Plan is only applicable to two retired Directors. For those Directors, the Common Stock Equivalents held in their account will be converted to and paid in Common Stock of the Company (and cash as to any fractional Common Stock Equivalent). In the third quarter of 2003, those two retired Directors received dividend equivalents in the form of 31 Common Stock Equivalents under this plan. The value of each Common Stock Equivalents, when credited, was $54.43.
