NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
-----------------------------

(1) STATEMENT OF ACCOUNTING POLICY

The accompanying financial statements include the accounts of Myers
Industries, Inc. and subsidiaries (Company), and have been prepared without
audit, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange
Commission. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in
financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles have been condensed or omitted pursuant to those rules and
regulations, although the Company believes that the disclosures are adequate to
make the information not misleading. It is suggested that these financial
statements be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes
thereto included in the Company's latest annual report on Form 10-K.

In the opinion of the Company, the accompanying financial statements
contain all adjustments (consisting of only normal recurring accruals) necessary
to present fairly the financial position as of March 31, 1999, and the results
of operations and cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 1999 and 1998.

(2) ACQUISITIONS

On February 4, 1999, the Company acquired all of the shares of the
entities comprising Allibert Equipement, the material handling division of
Sommer Allibert S.A. This transaction also completed the acquisition of
Allibert-Contico, LLC, a joint venture between Sommer Allibert and Contico
International, Inc. The acquired businesses have five manufacturing facilities
in Europe and one in North America and had 1998 annual sales of approximately
$145 million. The acquisitions will be accounted for under the purchase method
of accounting and, accordingly, the total purchase price of approximately $150
million will be allocated to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed based
upon their estimated fair values. At March 31, 1999, the purchase price
allocations have been based on estimates with the excess of purchase price over
fair value of net assets acquired of approximately $110 million being amortized
over lives of 16 and 40 years.

The following unaudited proforma information presents a summary of
consolidated results of operations of the Company and the acquired businesses as
if the acquisitions had occurred January 1, 1998.

(3) SUPPLEMENTAL DISCLOSURE OF CASH FLOW INFORMATION

The Company made cash payments for interest expense of $1,791,470 and
$440,270 for the three months ended March 31, 1999 and 1998, respectively. Cash
payments for income taxes were $568,598 and $1,021,198 for the three months
ended March 31, 1999 and 1998, respectively.

(4) SEGMENT INFORMATION

The Company's business units have separate management teams and offer
different products and services. Using the criteria of FASB No. 131, these
business units have been aggregated into two reportable segments; Distribution
of after-market repair products and services and Manufacturing of polymer and
metal products. The aggregation of business units is based on management by the
chief operating decision maker for the segment as well as similarities of
production processes, distribution methods and economic characteristics (e.g.
average gross margin and the impact of economic conditions on long-term
financial performance).

The Company's distribution segment is engaged in the distribution of
equipment, tools and supplies used for tire servicing and automotive underbody
repair. The distribution segment operates domestically through 42 branches
located in major cities throughout the United States and in foreign countries
through export and businesses in which the Company holds an equity interest.

The Company's manufacturing segment designs, manufactures and markets a
variety of polymer based plastic and rubber products. These products are
manufactured primarily through the molding process in facilities throughout the
United States and Europe.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
---------------------------------------

FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
---------------------------------------------

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Net sales for the three months ended March 31, 1999 increased $38.6
million or 44 percent as the Company experienced significant improvements in
both of its business segments. Sales in the Distribution segment increased $2.5
million or 8 percent primarily as a result of higher unit volumes. Sales in the
Manufacturing segment increased $36.1 million or 61 percent with approximately
87 percent of the increase due to acquired companies not included in the prior
year period. Without the acquisitions there was an 8 percent increase in sales
for the Manufacturing segment which was primarily the result of higher unit
volumes.

Cost of sales increased $21.9 million or 38 percent reflecting the
higher sales levels; however, gross profit as a percentage of sales improved
from 34.7 percent to 37.3 percent. The gross margin improvement was primarily
achieved in the Manufacturing segment reflecting lower raw material costs and
greater utilization of plant capacity.

Operating expenses for the quarter increased $11.5 million or 62
percent reflecting the additional operating costs of acquired companies as well
as costs associated with the increase in sales. Expressed as a percentage of
sales, operating expenses were 23.8 percent for the quarter ended March 31, 1999
compared with 21.1 percent in the prior year.

Net interest expense increased to $2.4 million for the quarter ended
March 31, 1999 from $132,741 in the prior year. This increase reflects the
significantly higher borrowing levels resulting from business acquisitions.

Income taxes as a percent of income before taxes was 43.3 percent for
the three months ended March 31, 1999 compared with 41.0 percent in the prior
year. The higher tax rate in 1999 is attributable to an increase in
non-deductible amortization expense combined with foreign tax rate differences.

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

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Cash provided by operating activities was $23.1 million for the three
months ended March 31, 1999 compared with $12.9 million for same period in the
prior year. Long-term debt increased by $157 million from December 31, 1998 as a
result of the Allibert Equipement acquisition and debt of percentage of total
capitalization increased to 50 percent. Working capital decreased slightly to
$100.6 million at March 31, 1999 and the Company's current ratio was 2.1 to 1.

Capital expenditures for the three months ended March 31, 1999 were
$5.6 million and the Company anticipates total capital expenditures in the range
of $25.0 to $30.0 million for the full year. Management believes that
anticipated cash flows from operations and available credit facilities will be
sufficient to fund capital expenditures and meet its short-term and long-term
needs.

Year 2000
- ---------

The Company has conducted a review to identify potential Year 2000
issues related to both information technology (IT) and non-information
technology (non-IT) matters. The Company has developed plans for each of its
business units to correct or replace existing IT systems where significant
potential year 2000 failures could occur. The majority of core business software
utilized by the Company was acquired from third parties. As of March 31, 1999,
core Corporate financial software is Year 2000 compliant, and core business
software for the business units is either Year 2000 compliant or has been
upgraded, tested and is ready for implementation. Full implementation of Year
2000 compliant software for all business units is expected to be completed
during the third quarter of 1999. The Company is also in the process of
verifying Year 2000 readiness of non-IT systems, including production equipment
as well as evaluating the status of key vendors and service providers to
determine Year 2000 readiness and determine alternatives and contingency plan
requirements. To date, no material problems have been identified, and the
Company is confident that the Year 2000 issue will not create significant
operational problems. To date, the funds which have been spent on year 2000
issues have not been material and based on current assessments remaining
expenses are not expected to be material.
