                 NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                   December 28,1996

(1) The condensed consolidated balance sheets at December 28, 1996, and
    September 28, 1996, and the condensed consolidated statements of income and
    cash flows for the three-month periods ended December 28, 1996, and
    December 30, 1995, 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 December 28,
    1996, and  December 30, 1995, 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 material, work-in-process, and
    finished goods inventories at December 28, 1996, and September 28, 1996, is
    as follows:
                                                      (in thousands)

         Inventories, net                         $14,623       $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
    (10,926,000 for the quarter ended December 28, 1996 and 10,970,000  for the
    quarter ended December 30, 1995).

(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 December 28, 1996 and September 28,
    1996 were 10,436,000 and 10,419,000, respectively.

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

FINANCIAL CONDITION

    Working capital increased by $2.2 million during the quarter ended December
28, 1996 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 14.5% from 14.1% and return on equity
decreased to 19.7% from 20.0% for the comparable 12-month periods ending
December 28, 1996 and December 30, 1995, 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

    First quarter net sales rose 7.3% to $32.2 million from $30.0 million
reported for the same period last year.  Strong domestic sales, supported by
aggressive marketing programs and new product introductions, rose 9.8%, while
international sales grew a modest 1.7% over the first quarter of fiscal 1996 and
constituted 29% of the total sales for the quarter just ended. The backlog of
unfilled orders was $10.4 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% when compared to the same period one year ago.

    Gross profit of $14.4 million was $1.2 million or  8.9% greater than the
same quarter of last year.  Gross profit margins increased to 44.6% from 44.0%,
reflecting the effect of richer mix of higher-margin products.

    Operating expenses increased 5.4% to $9.7 million from $9.2 million in the
first quarter of fiscal 1996.  As a percent of sales, operating expenses
decreased to 30.3% from 30.8% attributable to the company's continued attention
to cost controls while maintaining its planned expansion of international sales
and new product development.  Other expenses were $.3 million for the current
quarter.

    Net income surpassed last year's first quarter record by 18.2% and on a per
share basis exceeded the like period of fiscal 1995 by 20.0%, rising from $.20
to $.24 per share.  This improvement reflects solid sales growth combined with
improved gross profit margins along with a higher effective tax rate.

                              PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

                              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 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.
