      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 February 28, 1995 and May 31, 1994; the
     results of operations for the three and nine months ended
     February 28, 1995 and 1994; and the cash flows for the nine
     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 nine
     months ended February 28, 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 and nine months
     ended February 28, 1995 and 1994 are not necessarily
     indicative of the results to be expected for the full year.

<PAGE>

                  WORTHINGTON INDUSTRIES, INC.
              MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS


RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
     The Company achieved record sales and earnings for the
three and nine month periods ended February 28, 1995,
marking its eighth consecutive quarter for record results.

     Net sales of $370.1 million were 15% better than last
year's third quarter.  Net earnings of $28.7 million and
earnings per share of $.32 increased 45%.  This was the most
profitable quarter in the Company's history.

     For the nine months, net sales reached $1.08 billion,
19% higher than in the previous year.  Net earnings of $82.4
million and earnings per share of $.91 were 39% and 40%
higher, respectively.  Net earnings  are within 3% of full
year 1994 earnings.

     All business segments contributed to the record results
with each posting historical bests.  The  sales increase
includes both higher volumes, due to continued strong demand
and order activity, and higher selling prices.   Gross
margin has improved 25% for the quarter and 26% for the nine
months, outpacing the growth in sales, as operating
efficiencies continue to improve and selling prices have
increased more than costs.  Last year's gross margin was
hurt by start-up inefficiencies on several new jobs in
custom plastics and a lag in the time raw material cost
increases were passed on to customers.   Gross margin as a
percentage of sales for the quarter was 16.3% and  has
increased every quarter since November 1993.  Selling,
general and administrative expense increased 26% for the
quarter and 22% year-to-date. These percentages exceeded the
percentage sales increase because of higher profit sharing
expense from the record profits.  Operating income improved
25% for the quarter and 29% year-to-date.  As a percentage
of sales, operating income rose to 10.1% from 9.2% for the
quarter and to 9.9% from 9.2% for the nine months.

     Interest expense increased $2.2 million for the nine
months as the average interest rate rose to 5.9% from 3.6%
and average debt outstanding has increased.  Average debt

<PAGE>

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 $8.0 million for the quarter and $15.7 million for the
nine months.  Equity from Rouge Steel remains the largest
contributor as industry demand and selling prices for steel
continued to be very favorable.

     Income taxes increased in line with pre-tax earnings
for the nine month periods as the effective tax rate for
both periods was approximately 37.5%.

     The processed steel products segment posted increases
in sales and earnings for the quarter and year-to-date
periods.  Operating margins remained at high levels and
compared favorably to last year's third quarter which
suffered somewhat due to weather related problems.   Sales
and earnings for the steel processing operations continued
to rise due to higher volume from increased demand and new
customers, and increased selling prices. Pressure cylinder's
results were also up for both periods as growth continued in
most product lines.  Demand remained above last year and
selling prices increased to reflect higher material costs.

     The custom products segment increased sales and
earnings for both periods.  The  plastics operation
benefited from new business and from high demand for the
many car models in which it participates.  In addition,
operating efficiencies have improved on newer jobs which
were in the start-up phase during last year's first nine
months.   Results for this year include non-automotive sales
from the new plant in St. Matthews, South Carolina which was
in the start-up mode last year.  The new facility in
Lebanon, Kentucky was opened during the quarter. Precision
metals, despite experiencing some production problems during
the quarter, has increased sales and earnings significantly
for the nine months, due to strong automotive production and
productivity  improvements.

     The cast products segment continued its strong
performance, setting sales and earnings records for both
periods.  Strong demand for freight railcars continued and

<PAGE>

order backlogs are expected to remain high for the
foreseeable future.  Last year's nine months was impacted by
a temporary decrease in demand for railcars due to the
Midwest flooding.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

     At February 28, 1995, the Company's current ratio was
2.1:1, down from 2.3:1 at May 31, 1994 because of increased
short-term debt.   Long-term debt remained low at 9% of
total capital.  Working capital  was $236.7 million , 42% of
the Company's total net worth, down from 46% at fiscal 1994
year-end.

     During the nine months, the Company's  cash position
decreased by $6.1 million and short-term borrowings of $38.7
million were used to help fund cash needs.  Record profits
led to cash provided by operations of $39.6 million, despite
a $32.8 million increase in inventories and a $17.9 million
increase in accounts receivable.  The inventory increase
occurred largely in the processed steel products segment,
reflecting higher steel costs and increased tonnage to
support the higher sales and to hedge anticipated mill price
increases.   Forecasted days sales in inventory for the
Company has decreased since  fiscal year-end.  The increase
in accounts receivable reflects the sales increase and the
Company anticipates further investment in accounts
receivable due to the recent selling price increases and the
upcoming fourth quarter sales volume; however, days sales
outstanding should remain constant.  Capital expenditures
were $57.1 million and dividends paid were $27.2 million.

     The Company expects its operating results and cash from
normal operating activities to improve during the remainder
of the year.  However, as in the first nine months 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 February 28, 1995. Immediate
borrowing capacity plus cash generated from operations
should be more than sufficient to fund expected normal

<PAGE>

operating cash needs, dividends, debt payments and capital
expenditures for existing businesses.
