                                  June 28, 1997

(1)  The condensed consolidated balance sheets at June 28, 1997, and
     September 28, 1996, and the condensed consolidated statements of
     income and cash flow for the periods ended June 28, 1997, and
     June 29, 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 June
     28, 1997, and June 29, 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 June  28,
     1997, and September 28, 1996, is as follows:

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


(4)  Income per share is based upon the weighted average number of
     shares outstanding plus the effect of common stock equivalents
     during the period  (11,054,000 and 10,979,000  for the quarter
     and nine months ended June 28, 1997, respectively, 10,947,000 and
     10,954,000 for the quarter and nine months ended June 29, 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 June 28, 1997 and September 28, 1996 were
     10,499,000  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 $2.8 million for the first nine
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 remained
at 14.9%, and return on equity decreased to 19.7% from 20.4% for the
comparable 12-month periods ending June 28, 1997 and June 29, 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

    Third quarter net sales rose 16.0% to $35.5 million from $30.6
million reported for the same period last year.  Domestic sales
increased 20.8% during the quarter with the highest growth rates
occurring in the molded connector and ergonomic workstation product
lines, while international sales grew 5.6% over the third quarter of
fiscal 1996 and constituted 28% of the sales for the quarter just
ended.  The backlog of unfilled orders was $10.1 million compared with
$8.6 million at fiscal 1996 year-end and $8.4 million reported one
year ago.  Selling prices increased less than 1.0% when compared to
the same period one year ago.

    Gross profit of $15.9 million was $2.2 million or 16.0% greater
than the same quarter of last year.  Gross profit margins decreased
slightly to 44.8% from 44.9%, reflecting the effect of material and
labor cost increases partially offset by on-going cost reduction
programs.

    Operating expenses increased 11.8% to $10.4 million from $9.3
million in the third quarter of fiscal 1997 due to the Company's
continued investment in marketing and engineering programs and the
added costs of operating its new subsidiary in Japan. As a percent of
sales, operating expenses decreased to 29.3% from 30.4%.

    Other (income)/expenses of $.3 million were $.5 million more than
the same period a year ago.   The increase was due to the recognition
of a favorable non-recurring adjustment last year of $.8 million.
This adjustment resulted from a 1991 jury verdict being overturned in
the Company's favor upon appeal.

    Net income exceeded last year's third quarter by 9.8% and on a
per share basis surpassed the same period of fiscal 1996 by 11.5%
rising to $.29 per share from $.26 per share. This increase reflects
the impact of the sales growth offset by the adjustment to 0ther
(income)/expenses and a higher effective tax rate of 39.5% vs. 37.2%
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 has investigated and has remediated the soils in this area
and believes that it is an additional source of contamination of
groundwater, both on-site and off-site.  In addition, the
investigation of the site indicates that the groundwater contaminants
have migrated off-site.  The Company is implementing a groundwater
remediation system for the on-site contamination.  The Company is
currently discussing various remediation alternatives for the off-site
groundwater 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 estimates that a minimum of $859,000 of
investigation and remediation expenses remain to be incurred, both
on-site and off-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 and
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.
