                            WOODHEAD INDUSTRIES, INC.
              NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                  April 3, 1999
                                   (Unaudited)

(1)      The condensed consolidated balance sheets at April 3, 1999, and October
         3, 1998, and the condensed consolidated statements of income and cash
         flow for the periods ended April 3, 1999, and March 28, 1998, 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 period ended April 3,
         1999 are not necessarily  indicative of the results to be expected for
         the full year.

(3)      The breakdown of raw materials and work-in-process and finished goods
         inventories at April 3, 1999, and October 3, 1998, is as follows:

                                                             (in thousands)

                                                        ========        ========


(4)      Earnings per share are based upon the weighted average number of common
         shares outstanding for the basic calculation (11,090,000 and 11,066,000
         for the quarter and six months ended April 3, 1999, respectively, and
         10,581,000 and 10,571,000 for the quarter and six months ended March
         28, 1998, respectively) and the weighted average number of common
         shares outstanding plus dilutive common stock options for the diluted
         calculation (11,383,000 and 11,371,000 for the quarter and six months
         ended April 3, 1999, respectively, and 11,199,000 and 11,204,000 for
         the quarter and six months ended March 28, 1998, 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 April 3, 1999 and
         October 3, 1998 were 11,091,000 and 11,032,000, respectively.

(6)     Certain amounts in the prior period financial statements have been
        reclassified to conform with the current period presentation.

(7)     The  Company, as a result of its global operating activities, is exposed
        to changes in foreign currency exchange rates which may adversely affect
        its results of operations and financial condition. In seeking to
        minimize the risks and/or costs associated with such activities, the
        Company manages exposure to changes in foreign currency exchange rates
        through its regular operating activities and, when deemed appropriate,
        through the use of derivative financial instruments.

       The Company uses financial instruments to selectively hedge and thereby
       attempts to reduce its overall exposure to the effects of foreign
       currency fluctuations. The company does not use derivative financial
       instruments for speculative purposes. The Company uses foreign currency
       forward and swap contracts to hedge a portion of the currency risks of
       transactions denominated in foreign currencies. Gains and losses on these
       foreign currency hedges are generally offset by corresponding losses and
       gains on the underlying transactions.

       In 1998 the Company entered into a foreign currency swap agreement with
       an AA- rated counterparty to hedge a portion of its investment in its
       Italian subsidiary. Under the terms of the agreement, the Company will
       swap 35.52 billion Lire for 20.0 million US$ amortized over the next 8
       years. In addition, the contract provides for the Company to make annual
       interest payments of 6.50% on the outstanding Lire balance, while
       receiving 7.43% on the outstanding Dollar balance. Due to the fact that
       this contract is an effective hedge of an investment in a foreign entity,
       any gain or loss on the contract is recorded directly to cumulative
       translation adjustment in shareholders' equity.

(8)    Effective October 4, 1998, the Company adopted Financial Accounting
       Standards Board Statement No. 130 - Comprehensive Income. Comprehensive
       income includes all changes in equity during a period except those
       resulting from investments by, and distributions to, Share Owners.
       Comprehensive income, shown net of tax for the three and six month
       periods ending April 3, 1999 and March 28, 1998, is as follows:

                            WOODHEAD INDUSTRIES, INC.
                     MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
                  FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

FINANCIAL CONDITION
- --------------------
         Working capital increased by $7.3 million for the six months ended
April 3, 1999 from October 3, 1998. The current ratio was 2.5 to 1 compared to
2.2 to 1 at the end of the prior fiscal year. Long-term debt rose to $55.3
million resulting in a debt to total capitalization (debt plus equity) ratio of
41.9%. Return on assets declined to 2.2% from 12.6% and return on equity
declined to 4.1% from 19.1% for the comparable 12 month periods ending April 3,
1999, and March 28, 1998, respectively. The Company's financial position remains
strong and significant borrowing capacity is available should the need arise.

         The Company is 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 23.4% to $44.5 million from $36.0 million
reported for the same period last year. Global sales in the industrial
communications and connectivity segment of the business increased 71% in the
second quarter primarily driven by the acquisitions in 1998. The project
business in the Company's Brad Harrison products began to recover in North
America where total sales in this product line increased 12%. Sales in the
Company's electrical safety and specialty products segment decreased 1%
primarily due to decreases in sales in the United States. The backlog of
unfilled orders was $13.8 million compared with $11.5 million at fiscal year-end
1998 and $13.0 million reported a year ago.

         Gross profit of $19.5 million was $3.4 million or 21.2% greater than
the same quarter last year.  Gross profit  margins  decreased to 43.8% from
44.6% due to the dilutive effect of SST.

         Operating expenses increased 32.2% to $13.6 million from $10.3 million
in the second quarter of fiscal 1998. Due to the 1998 acquisitions, operating
expenses increased to 30.5% from 28.5% as a percent of net sales. Interest
expense increased due to the debt related to the Company's two 1998
acquisitions. Other expenses decreased due to insurance reimbursement of
litigation settlements expensed last year.

         Net income decreased by 12.2% to $2.9 million from $3.3 million. The
decrease in the Company's net income was primarily due to the dilutive effect of
SST which was anticipated at the time of acquisition. Basic earnings per share
were $0.26 compared with $0.31 in the second quarter of last year. Earnings per
share on a diluted basis were $0.26 compared with $0.30 in the second quarter of
last year.

         The Company has been assessing and addressing the impact of the Year
2000 issue on its business over the past two years. As a result of the ongoing
assessment, the Company has been modifying or replacing various hardware and
software platforms throughout the Company. Since the Company is operated in a
decentralized manner, each of its operating locations is addressing whether its
systems, vendors, equipment and products are or will be Year 2000 compliant. The
compliance status at each subsidiary is being monitored by Corporate personnel
on a quarterly basis to ensure that required courses of action are being
executed in a timely fashion. Management believes the modification of its
computer information systems will be completed in adequate time to enable proper
processing of transactions relating to the Year 2000 and beyond. However, if
such systems are not timely modified, such a delay could have a material adverse
effect on the Company.

         Expenses associated with the Year 2000 issue are currently reflected in
the Company's financial statements. Consultants' fees incurred at its various
subsidiaries are being expensed when incurred while new systems are being
capitalized. Although the Company has not accumulated the normal costs of
updating business systems which occur on an ongoing basis that also address the
Year 2000 issue, it is believed that these costs do not have a material
financial effect on the Company as a whole. At present, the Company is
evaluating contingency plan alternatives.

         The Company believes the key risk factors associated with Year 2000 are
those it cannot directly control, primarily the readiness of its key suppliers,
distributors, customers, public infrastructure suppliers and other vendors. The
Company's subsidiaries have each initiated discussions with those third parties
to determine their Year 2000 compliance status, and is keeping the communication
channels open with respect to their readiness. While the Company is working
diligently to ensure its mission critical third parties will be compliant, there
can be no assurance that the systems of any third party on which the Company's
systems and operations rely will be timely converted and will not have a
material adverse effect on the Company.

         Certain statements in this Form 10-Q may constitute "forward-looking
statements" within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act
of 1995. Such forward-looking statements involve numerous assumptions, known and
unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors which may cause actual and future
performance or achievements of the Company to be materially different from any
future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by such
forward-looking statements. Such factors include, but are not limited to:
achieving sales levels to fulfill revenue expectations; the absence of presently
unexpected costs or charges, certain of which may be outside the control of the
Company; general economic and business conditions; the ability to integrate
acquisitions; shifts in market demand for the Company's products and
competition.

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 but believes that it is the primary 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. During the past year, the Company was required to modify this
system in order to address treatment problems created by changed conditions, and
these modifications increased the estimated long term cost of the on-site
remediation. The Company continues to monitor and analyze conditions to
determine the continued efficacy of this system. The Company has also modified
the design of its proposed remediation alternative for the off-site groundwater
contamination because of changed off-site conditions, and is currently reviewing
this alternative with the DEQ. The Company continues to investigate 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 has estimated that a minimum of approximately
$2,045,000 of investigation and remediation expenses remain to be incurred, both
on-site and off-site. The Company has initiated discussions with the previous
owners of the site and various insurers concerning possible claims by the
Company for contribution to the cost of the investigation and remediation of the
site. The consultant's cost estimate was based on a review of currently
available data and assumptions concerning the extent of contamination,
geological conditions, and the costs and effectiveness of certain treatment
technologies. The cost estimate continues to be subject to substantial
uncertainty because of the extent of the contamination area, the variety and
nature of geological conditions throughout the contamination area, changes in
remediation technology, and ongoing DEQ feedback. The Company is continuing to
monitor the 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.
