         NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                              (Unaudited)



Note A - Management's Opinion

          In the opinion of management, the accompanying
     unaudited consolidated condensed financial statements
     contain all adjustments (consisting of a normal recurring
     nature) necessary to present fairly the financial position
     of Worthington Industries, Inc. and Subsidiaries (the
     Company) as of August 31, 1994 and May 31, 1994; the results
     of operations for the three months ended August 31, 1994 and
     1993; and the cash flows for the three months then ended.

          The accounting policies followed by the Company are set
     forth in Note A to the consolidated financial statements in
     the 1994 Worthington Industries, Inc. Annual Report to
     Shareholders which is incorporated by reference in the
     Company's 1994 Form 10-K.

Note B - Income Taxes

          The income tax rate is based on statutory federal and
     state rates, and an estimate of annual earnings adjusted for
     the permanent differences between reported earnings and
     taxable income.

Note C - Earnings Per Share

          Earnings  per  common  share  for the quarter ended
     August 31, 1994 and 1993 are based on the weighted average
     common shares outstanding during each of the respective
     periods, after giving effect to the three-for-two share
     split which was distributed on October 22, 1993.

Note D - Results of Operations

         The results of operations for the three months ended
     August 31, 1994 and 1993 are not necessarily indicative of
     the results to be expected for the full year.





                  WORTHINGTON INDUSTRIES, INC.
              MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS


RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

     For the three months ended August 31, 1994, net sales
reached a first quarter record of $346.3 million, 19% higher than
the previous record set last year.  Net earnings of $25.4 million
and earnings per share of $.28 were also records, increasing 28%
and 27%, respectively.  This was the Company's sixth consecutive
record quarter.

     All business lines showed improved results with strong
increases in sales and earnings above the prior year's first
quarter. Higher volumes and increased selling prices contributed
to the rise in sales. Gross margin improved 18% for the quarter,
less than the growth in sales, as profit margins were squeezed
somewhat due to a lag in selling price increases. Margins will
improve since some contracts were repriced late in the quarter.
Gross margin as a percentage of sales decreased slightly to 15.1%
from 15.2%. Operating income improved 21% for the quarter,
greater than the sales increase, as selling, general and
administrative expenses increased only 14%. As a percentage of
sales, operating income improved to 9.4% from 9.3%.

     Interest expense increased 84% for the quarter as the
average interest rate rose to 5.3% from 3.6% and average debt
outstanding increased .  Average debt rose because of increased
short-term borrowings to support the higher levels of working
capital and capital expenditures.

     Income taxes increased slightly less than earnings for the
three month period.  The effective tax rate decreased to 37.5%
from 37.9% for the same period of the prior year.

     The processed steel products segment increased sales and
earnings above last year's first quarter and continued to benefit
from the higher demand in the auto, appliance and other consumer
durables markets. The improved  sales and earnings for the steel
processing operations resulted from higher volume and increased
selling prices. Results for the pressure cylinder business were
also up for the quarter.  This operation realized growth in most
product lines, although demand for refrigerant tanks softened due
to the relatively cool summer weather.

     The custom products segment increased sales and earnings
dramatically, setting a record for the quarter.  These results
evidence this operation's success in replacing a major portion of
business phased out in last year's first quarter and the improved
operating efficiencies on this new business.  The new plant in
St. Matthews, South Carolina is increasing production and should
start contributing to operating income this coming quarter.
Results for precision metals improved significantly, thanks to
strong automotive production and continuation of productivity
gains on new and existing jobs.

     Sales and earnings for the cast products segment also
increased significantly.  Demand for freight railcars continues
to be strong and the order backlog remains at a  high level.
Productivity has improved  at  the high volume levels.

     Equity in net income of unconsolidated affiliates was up
solidly for the quarter.  Equity from Rouge Steel was the largest
contributor as industry demand for steel remains at high levels.
London Industries and Worthington Specialty Processing also had
good quarters and contributed nicely to this income.  Worthington
Armstrong Venture suffered from lackluster domestic demand for
its products but has already started to see a contribution from
its plant in France and overall made a modest contribution.
Startup problems have been largely overcome at TWB Company, but,
volume was less than expected  due to lackluster demand for
certain car models .

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

     The Company's financial position has strengthened since
fiscal year-end.  At August 31, 1994, working capital was $234.2
million and the current ratio was 2.3:1.  Long-term debt was 9%
of total capital.

     During the three months, the Company's  cash position was
decreased by $12.1 million. Short-term borrowings of $20 million
were used to  help fund its cash needs.  Despite record profits,
cash used by operations was $5.1 million,  due  largely to a
$28.6 million increase in inventories.  This increase occurred
largely in the processed steel products segment, to support the
higher sales volumes, anticipated price increases, and  also
reflects the higher cost of raw material.  Capital expenditures
were $18.5  million and dividends paid were $9.1 million.
Accounts payable and accrued expenses have decreased  $14.1
million since fiscal year-end  despite the higher inventory
levels, but this is consistent with experience in prior years.

     The Company anticipates a rise in the level of investment in
accounts receivable due to the recent selling price increases,
however, days sales outstanding should remain constant.

     The Company expects its operating results and cash from
normal operating activities to improve during the year.  The
Company also has $40 million in committed, unsecured, short-term
lines of credit available at attractive rates, of which $35
million was unused at August 31, 1994. Immediate borrowing
capacity plus cash generated from operations should be more than
sufficient to fund expected normal operating costs, dividends,
debt payments and capital expenditures for existing businesses.
