                 NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                    March 29, 1997


(1) The condensed consolidated balance sheets at March 29, 1997, and September
    28, 1996, and the condensed consolidated statements of income and cash flow
    for the  periods ended March 29, 1997, and March 30, 1996, reflect, in the
    opinion of the Company, all adjustments necessary to present fairly the
    financial position for such periods.  All such adjustments were of a normal
    recurring nature.  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
    S.E.C.  rules and regulations, although the Company believes that the
    disclosures are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. 
    It is suggested that these condensed consolidated financial statements be
    read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes
    thereto included in the Company's latest annual report on Form 10-K.

(2) The results of operations for the three-month periods ended March 29, 1997,
    and March 30, 1996, are not necessarily indicative of the results to be
    expected for the full year.

(3) It is the Company's policy to take an annual physical inventory in
    conjunction with the preparation of the annual consolidated financial
    statements. The estimated breakdown of raw materials, work-in-process, and
    finished goods inventories at March 29, 1997, and September 28, 1996, is as
    follows:             
                                                              (in thousands)

                                                        -------      -------
         Inventories, net                               $14,578      $12,707

                                                        -------      -------

 
(4) Income per share is based upon the weighted average number of shares
    outstanding plus the effect of common stock equivalents during the period 
    (11,007,000 and 10,965,000  for the quarter and six months ended March 29,
    1997, respectively, 10,952,000 and 10,961,000 for the quarter and six
    months ended March 30, 1996, respectively).  

(5) Authorized stock is 40,000,000 shares consisting of 10,000,000 shares of
    preferred stock, par value $.01 per share, and 30,000,000 shares of common
    stock, par value $l.00 per share.  No shares of preferred stock have been
    issued.  Common shares outstanding at March 29, 1997 and September 28, 1996
    were 10,452,000 and 10,419,000, respectively.       

(6) In February 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued 
    Statement No. 128 (SFAS No. 128), "Earnings per Share". SFAS No. 128 
    replaces the presentation of primary earnings per share with basic 
    earnings per share which excludes the dilutive effect of common stock 
    equivalents. The Company's basic earnings per share is not expected to be 
    materially different from primary earnings per share.

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

FINANCIAL CONDITION

    Working capital increased by $1.3 million for the first six months of 
fiscal 1997 with a current ratio of 2.7/1 compared with 2.5/1 at the end of 
the prior fiscal year.   There was no long-term or short-term debt at the end 
of the quarter. Return on assets rose to 14.9% from 14.4%, and return on 
equity remained at 20.0% for the comparable 12-month periods ending March 29, 
1997 and March 30, 1996, respectively.  The Company's financial position 
remains strong and significant borrowing capacity is available should the 
need arise.

    The Company is a party to an environmental matter which obligates it to
investigate, remediate or mitigate the effects on the environment of the release
of certain substances at one of the Company's facilities.  For additional
information concerning the environmental matter, see "Item 1. Legal
Proceedings".

OPERATING RESULTS

    Second quarter net sales rose 12.0% to $35.5 million from $31.7 million 
reported for the same period last year.  Domestic sales increased 16.2% 
during the quarter with the highest growth rates occurring in the molded 
connector and ergonomic workstation product lines, while international sales 
grew 2.4% over the second quarter of fiscal 1997 and constituted 27% of the 
sales for the quarter just ended.  The backlog of unfilled orders was $10.6 
million compared with $8.6 million at fiscal 1996 year-end and $8.3 million 
reported one year ago.  Selling prices increased less than 1.0% when compared 
to the same period one year ago.
                                                             
    Gross profit of $16.0 million was $2.0 million or 14.3% greater than the
same quarter of last year.  Gross profit margins increased to 45.1% from 44.3%,
reflecting the effect of the introduction of new products and continuous cost
reduction programs.      
                                
    Operating expenses increased 12.8% to $10.6 million from $9.4 million in 
the second quarter of fiscal 1997.  As a percent of sales, operating expenses 
increased to 29.9% from 29.6% reflecting the Company's continued investment 
in marketing and engineering programs and the added costs of operating its 
new subsidiary in Japan.  Other expenses were $.3 million for the current 
quarter. 
                                                                               
                                                                          
    Net income exceeded last year's second quarter by 18.0% and on a per 
share basis surpassed the same period of fiscal 1996 by 16.7% rising to $.28 
per share from $.24 per share. This increase reflects the impact of the sales 
growth combined with improved gross profit margins offset by a higher 
effective tax rate of 39.5% vs. 36.4% in 1996.

                              WOODHEAD INDUSTRIES, INC.


Item 1.  Legal Proceedings    

The Company is subject to federal and state hazardous substance cleanup laws 
that impose liability for the costs of cleaning up contamination resulting 
from past spills, disposal or other releases of hazardous substances.  In 
this regard, the Company has incurred, and expects to incur, assessment, 
remediation and related costs at one of the Company's facilities.  In 1991, 
the Company reported to state regulators a release at that site from an 
underground storage tank ("UST").  The UST and certain contaminated soil 
subsequently were removed and disposed of at an off-site disposal facility.  
The Company's independent environmental consultant has been conducting an 
investigation of soil and groundwater at the site with oversight by the state 
Department of Environmental Quality ("DEQ").  The investigation indicates 
that additional soil and groundwater at the site have been impaired by 
chlorinated solvents, including tetrachloroethane and trichloroethylene, and 
other compounds.  Also, the Company learned that a portion of the site had 
been used as a disposal area by the previous owners of the site.  The 
Company's consultant is investigating and has begun to remediate this area 
and believes that it is an additional likely source of contamination of soil 
and groundwater.  In addition, the investigation of the site indicates that 
the groundwater contaminants have migrated off-site.  The Company is 
currently discussing various remediation alternatives for both on-site and 
off-site contamination with the DEQ.  The Company is conducting additional 
investigations to determine the extent of contamination at and around the 
site and to determine the extent of other sources of contamination in 
addition to the removed UST and the above-referenced disposal area, including 
the possible presence of ongoing dumping activities by others in the vicinity 
around the Company's facilities.

The Company's consultant estimated that a minimum of $800,000 of 
investigation and remediation expenses remained to be incurred at the site.  
The Company has a reserve for such purposes and has notified the previous 
owners of the site and various insurers of possible claims by the Company 
relating to the remediation of the site.  The consultant's cost estimate was 
based on a review of currently available data, which is limited, and 
assumptions concerning the extent of contamination, geological conditions, 
and the costs effectiveness of certain treatment technologies.  The cost 
estimate is subject to substantial uncertainty until the extent of 
contamination and geological conditions are fully understood, feasible 
remedial alternatives are assessed, and the DEQ approves a remediation plan.  
The Company is continuing to investigate the environmental conditions at the 
site and will adjust its reserve if necessary.  The Company may incur 
significant additional assessment, remediation and related costs at the site, 
and such costs could materially and adversely affect the Company's 
consolidated net income for the period in which such costs are incurred.  At 
this time, the Company, however, cannot estimate the time or potential 
magnitude of such costs, if any.
