                  WORTHINGTON INDUSTRIES, INC. 
      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 November 30, 1994 and May 31, 1994; the 
     results of operations for the three and six months ended 
     November 30, 1994 and 1993; and the cash flows for the six 
     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 three and six 
     months ended November 30, 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 and six months
     ended November 30, 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 
 
     The Company achieved record sales and earnings for the 
three and six month periods ended November 30, 1994. 
 
     For second quarter, net sales of $363.3 million surpassed 
those for last year's second quarter by 23%.  Net earnings of 
$28.3 million and earnings per share of $.31 increased 46% and 
48%, respectively.  This was the most profitable quarter in the 
Company's history. 
 
     For the six months, net sales reached $709.5 million, 21% 
higher than in the previous year.  Net earnings of $53.7 million
and earnings per share of $.59 were 37% higher. 
 
     All business lines continue to show strong increases in 
sales and operating income. The overall sales increase resulted 
from both higher volumes, due to strong demand and market share 
gains, and higher selling prices.  The gross margin improvement,
35% for the quarter and 26% for the six months, outpaced the 
growth in sales due to higher operating efficiencies and selling
price increases.  Gross margin as a percentage of sales 
increased to 15.9% from 14.6% for the quarter and to 15.5% from 
14.9% for the six months. Selling, general and administrative 
expense increased 24% for the quarter and 19% year-to-date but 
remained constant as a percentage of sales.  The majority of 
both increases was due to increased profit sharing expense. 
Operating income improved 41% for the quarter and 31% year-to- 
date due to the sales increase and improved gross margins.  As a
percentage of sales, operating income rose to 10.3% from 9.0% 
for the quarter and to 9.9% from 9.1% for the six months. 
 
     Interest expense increased 101% for the six months as the 
average interest rate rose to 5.6% from 3.6% and average debt 
outstanding increased.  Average debt rose because of increased 
short-term borrowings to support higher levels of working 
capital and capital expenditures. 
 
     Equity in net income of unconsolidated affiliates was up 
80% for the quarter and 71% for the six months.  Equity from 
Rouge Steel remains the largest contributor as industry demand 
for steel remained at a high level and steel prices continued to
increase.  London Industries(plastics), Worthington Specialty 
Processing(steel) and Worthington Armstrong Venture(ceiling 
grid) all posted increased sales and operating income. TWB 
Company's volume increased as the laser welding operation 
continues to ramp-up and is booking additional business for the 
future. 
 
     Income taxes increased slightly less than earnings for the 
three and six month periods as the effective tax rate decreased 
to 37.5% from 37.9%. 
 
     The processed steel products segment posted increases in 
sales and earnings.  Sales and earnings for the steel processing
operations rose due to higher volume and increased selling 
prices. Results for the pressure cylinder business were also up 
for both periods as this operation realized growth in most 
product lines, although demand for non-refillable tanks has been
lower than expected. 
 
     The custom products segment also posted increased sales and
earnings.  The  plastics operation experienced strong automotive
demand particularly in certain car models in which it 
participates and improved operating efficiencies on the newer 
jobs.  Results for precision metals improved significantly, also
due to strong automotive production and  continued productivity 
improvements. 
 
     The cast products segment had dramatic increases in sales 
and earnings for both periods.  Strong demand for freight 
railcars continued and the order backlog remains at a  high 
level.  The comparison is also helped as last year's second 
quarter was impacted by a temporary decrease in demand for 
railcars due to the Midwest flooding. 
 
 
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES 
 
     The Company's financial position remains very strong.  At 
November 30, 1994, working capital was $238.7 million and the 
current ratio was 2.2:1.  Long-term debt was 9% of total 
capital. 
 
     During the six months, the Company's  cash position 
decreased by $8.8 million and short-term borrowings of $16 
million were used to help fund cash needs.  Record profits led 
to cash provided by operations of $28.3 million, despite a $28.2
million increase in inventories.  The inventory increase 
occurred largely in the processed steel products segment, 
reflecting higher steel costs and increased tonnage to support 
the higher sales.   Forecasted days sales in inventory for the 
Company has increased only slightly since  fiscal year-end. 
Capital expenditures were $36.4 million, continuing on a record 
pace for the fiscal year, and dividends paid were $18.1 million.

 
     The Company anticipates an increase 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. 
However, as in the first half of the year, borrowings  may be 
needed to support the increasing sales volume and anticipated 
capital expenditures.  The Company has $40 million in committed,
unsecured, short-term lines of credit available at rates below 
the prime rate, of which $35 million was unused at November 30, 
1994. Immediate borrowing capacity plus cash generated from 
operations should be more than sufficient to fund expected 
normal operating cash needs, dividends, debt payments and 
capital expenditures for existing businesses.
