              NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                December 27, 1997
                                   (Unaudited)


(1)      The condensed consolidated balance sheets at December 27, 1997, and 
         September 27, 1997, and the condensed consolidated statements of 
         income and cash flow for the three-month periods ended December 27, 
         1997, and December 28, 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 December
         27, 1997, and December 28, 1996, are not necessarily indicative of the

         1996) and the weighted average number of shares outstanding plus the
         effect of common shares equivalents during the period for the diluted
         calculation (11,223,000 for the quarter ended December 27, 1997 and
         10,946,000 for the quarter ended December 28, 1996).

(5)      Authorized stock is 40,000,000 shares consisting of 10,000,000 shares

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

FINANCIAL CONDITION

         Working capital increased by $.2 million during the quarter ended
December 27, 1997 with a current ratio of 2.8/1 compared with 2.6/1 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 14.7% from 14.5% and return on equity
decreased to 19.2% from 19.7% for the comparable 12-month periods ending
December 27, 1997 and December 28, 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

         First quarter net sales rose 6.8% to $34.4 million from $32.2 million
reported for the same period last year. Domestic sales increased 9.5% during the
quarter with the highest growth rates occurring in the balancer, lighting and
molded connector product lines. International sales increased 0.2% over the
first quarter of fiscal 1997 and constituted 27% of the total sales of the
quarter just ended. In local currencies, international sales increased 6.8% over
the same period last year. The backlog of unfilled orders was $9.5 million
compared with $8.8 million at fiscal year-end 1997 and $10.4 million reported
one year ago. Selling prices increased less than 1% when compared to the same
period one year ago.

         Gross profit of $15.0 million was $.6 million or 4.3% greater than the
same quarter last year. Gross profit margins decreased to 43.6% from 44.6%,
primarily due to selling price concessions at one subsidiary, AI/FOCS.

         Operating expenses increased 2.0% to $9.9 million from $9.7 million in
the first quarter of fiscal 1997. Although the Company continued to invest in
engineering, a 13.5% increase, operating expenses as a percentage of sales
decreased to 28.9% from 30.3%.

         Other expenses of $.4 million were $.1 million more than the same 
period a year ago.   The increase was due to foreign exchange losses resulting
from the strengthening U. S. dollar and expenses incurred in moving into a new
plant in Juarez, Mexico.

         Net income exceeded last year's first quarter by 7.8%. Basic earnings
per share were $0.27 compared with $0.25 in the first quarter of last year, an
8.0% increase. Earnings per share on a diluted basis were $0.25 compared with
$0.24 in the first quarter of last year, a 4.2% increase. The Company's increase
in net income was primarily due to the impact of the sales increase.

                            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 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 has implemented a groundwater remediation system for the on-site
contamination, and continues to monitor and analyze conditions to determine the
continued efficacy of this system. The company has selected a remediation
alternative for the off-site groundwater contamination and is currently
reviewing this alternative with the DEQ. The Company also is conducting
additional investigations to determine the extent of other sources of
contamination in addition to the removed UST and the above-referenced disposal
area, including possible evidence of past or current releases by others in the
vicinity around the Company's facilities.

 The Company's consultant estimates that a minimum of approximately $890,000 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.
