                         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 August 31, 1995 and May 31,  1995;  the results of
      operations and cash flows for the three months ended August 31, 1995 and
      1994.


            The accounting  policies  followed by the Company are set forth in
      Note A to the consolidated  financial statements in the 1995 Worthington
      Industries,  Inc. Annual Report to Shareholders which is incorporated by
      reference in the Company's 1995 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  months ended August 31,
      1995  and  1994  are  based  on  the  weighted   average  common  shares
      outstanding during each of the respective periods.

Note D - Results of Operations

            The results of  operations  for the three  months ended August 31,
      1995  and 1994  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


      Results for the three months  ended  August  31,1995 were below the same
period of the prior year.  Net sales of $325.7  million  were 6% lower and net
earnings  of $21.5  million  and  earnings  per share of $.24 were 15% and 14%
lower, respectively.


      Results  reflect  principally  a slowing of economic  activity  from the
strong levels  experienced  last year.  Last year's first quarter results were
driven by volume and selling price increases.  Demand in most of the Company's
markets  softened  this year  resulting  in lower  volumes and lower  pricing.
Inventory  adjustments  by customers  anticipating  a more  favorable  pricing
environment also impacted  demand.  Gross margin was down 10% for the quarter.
This was greater than the sales  shortfall,  due to selling price pressure and
the working  down of more  expensive  inventory . Last year's gross margin was
squeezed  somewhat due to a lag in passing on raw material price  increases to
customers.  Gross  margin as a  percentage  of sales for the quarter was 14.4%
compared  to 15.1% last year.  Selling,  general  and  administrative  expense
increased 2% for the quarter as this year included expenses for new operations
offset by lower  profit-sharing.  As a percent of sales, this expense was 6.1%
compared to 5.6% last year. Operating income was 17% lower for the quarter. As
a percentage of sales, operating income decreased to 8.3% from 9.4%.


      Interest  expense  increased  18% for the three  months  as the  average
interest rate rose to 6.8% from 5.3% and average debt  outstanding  increased.
Average  debt  rose  because  of  increased   borrowings  to  support  capital
expenditures. Interest of $450,000 was capitalized during the quarter.


      Equity in net income of  unconsolidated  affiliates  was down 6% for the
quarter.  Equity  from Rouge  Steel was down as  industry  demand and  selling
prices   decreased.   Equity  from  Worthington   Armstrong   Venture  was  up
significantly on increased volume in both the U.S. and Europe.


      Income taxes decreased in line with pre-tax earnings for the three month
period as the effective tax rate for both periods was 37.5%.


      The  processed  steel  products  segment  posted  decreases in sales and
earnings for the quarter.  Steel  processing  shipments were off mainly due to
lower  automotive  output  as  car  companies   reduced   inventories  due  to
anticipated lower demand and lower steel prices.  Operating margins were lower
due to the reduced  volume and selling price  pressures.  Pressure  cylinder's
results were also down as demand,  specifically for refrigerant cylinders, was
negatively  impacted by the cool,  rainy  spring  weather.  Last year's  first
quarter benefited from favorable demand and selling prices.

      Sales for the custom products  segment were flat and earnings were lower
than last year's first three months.  The plastics  operation  generated  good
results despite lower automotive  demand.  In addition,  results for this year
include  non-automotive sales from new plants in St. Matthews,  South Carolina
and Lebanon,  Kentucky which were in the start-up mode last year.  Volume from
new jobs  increased  sales for precision  metals above last year,  but profits
suffered from start-up  inefficiencies  and adjustments  due to  specification
changes and increased volume on certain parts.


      The cast  products  segment  continued  its strong  performance.  Strong
demand for  freight  railcars  continued  to drive  sales.  Margins  increased
greater than sales due to the  efficiencies  from the high volume level.  Last
year's  first  three  months  also  benefited  from  railcar  demand  and high
production levels.


LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES


      At August 31, 1995, the Company's current ratio was 3.1:1, up from 2.5:1
at May 31, 1995, as $30 million of short-term debt was replaced with long-term
debt.  Long-term debt increased to 12% of total capital.  Working  capital was
$288.6  million,  48% of the Company's total net worth, up from 46% at May 31,
1995.


      During the three months,  the Company's cash position increased by $10.1
million.  Cash provided by operating activities was $55.4 million,  aided by a
$9.5 million  decrease in inventories  and a $36 million  decrease in accounts
receivable.  The inventory and accounts receivable  decreases occurred in part
because of the lower  sales  volume.  Days sales in  accounts  receivable  was
constant  since  fiscal  year-end  and days of  inventory  was down  modestly.
Capital  expenditures  and  investments  in affiliates  were $26.6 million and
dividends paid were $10 million.


      The Company  expects its operating  results to improve  during the year;
however, borrowings may be needed to support anticipated capital expenditures.
The Company has a $150 million committed, revolving credit agreement, of which
$80 million was unused at August 31, 1995.  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.
