INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT







To the Board of Directors and Stockholder of
  Dietrich Industries, Inc.:


We have  audited  the  accompanying  consolidated  balance  sheet of  Dietrich
Industries,  Inc. and  subsidiaries  as of December 31, 1995,  and the related
consolidated statements of income and retained earnings and cash flows for the
year then ended.  These  financial  statements are the  responsibility  of the
Company's  management.  Our  responsibility  is to express an opinion on these
financial statements based on our audit.


We  conducted  our  audit  in  accordance  with  generally  accepted  auditing
standards.  Those  standards  require  that we plan and  perform  the audit to
obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of
material misstatement.  An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence
supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial  statements.  An audit
also  includes  assessing  the  accounting  principles  used  and  significant
estimates  made by  management,  as well as evaluating  the overall  financial
statement presentation.  We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis
for our opinion.


In our opinion, such consolidated  financial statements present fairly, in all
material  respects,  the financial position of Dietrich  Industries,  Inc. and
subsidiaries as of December 31, 1995, and the results of their  operations and
their cash flows for the year then ended in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles.

DIETRICH INDUSTRIES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1995
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

1.   CHANGE IN OWNERSHIP

          On January 1, 1996, Dietrich Industries, Inc.'s (the "Company") sole
     stockholder  transferred  ownership of all of the issued and  outstanding
     common stock of the Company to a charitable  remainder annuity trust (the
     "Trust").

          On February 5, 1996, the Trust sold all issued and outstanding stock
     of the Company to Worthington  Acquisition Corp.  ("WAC"), a wholly-owned
     subsidiary  of  Worthington   Industries,   Inc.   ("Worthington"),   for
     approximately $146 million.

          On February 5, 1996,  WAC arranged for a $177.25  million  unsecured
     note  payable  to  Worthington.  WAC used the  proceeds  to  finance  the
     acquisition  and to repay $31.25  million  outstanding  as of February 5,
     1996 under the Company's  revolving  credit and term loan  agreement (see
     Note 5).

          Upon  consummation of these  transactions,  WAC merged with and into
     the Company with the Company being the surviving corporation.

2.   SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

     a.   Business  Segment  Information  - The Company is a  manufacturer  of
          metal  framing  products  used  in the  United  States  construction
          industry.  During 1995,  approximately  14 percent of the  Company's
          gross sales was derived from a single customer.

     b.   Basis  of  Consolidation  - The  consolidated  financial  statements
          include  the  accounts  of the  Company  and its  subsidiaries.  All
          significant intercompany transactions and balances are eliminated.

     c.   Inventories  -  Inventories   are  valued  at  the  lower  of  cost,
          determined using the last-in, first-out method (LIFO), or market.

     d.   Depreciation  -  Depreciation  for financial  reporting  purposes is
          computed on a straight-line basis.

     e.   Tax Status - The Company,  at December 31, 1995,  was a Subchapter S
          corporation for federal income tax purposes.  Under  Subchapter S of
          the Internal Revenue Code the stockholder,  rather than the Company,
          has the responsibility for federal income taxes and for state income
          taxes in those  states  that  recognize  Subchapter  S status.  As a
          result of the  transfer  of the  Company's  issued  and  outstanding
          common stock to the Trust (see Note 1), the  Company's  Subchapter S
          status was by law terminated effective January 1, 1996. As a result,
          on January 1, 1996,  the  Company  has  applied  the  provisions  of
          Statement  of  Financial  Accounting  Standards  ("SFAS")  No.  109,
          "Accounting  for Income Taxes," and provided  deferred  income taxes
          for  differences  in the  basis for tax  purposes  and the basis for
          financial  accounting  purposes of recorded assets and  liabilities,
          principally,  depreciable  property,  the  allowance  for bad debts,
          inventory, and certain liabilities for employee-related  expenses. A
          net  deferred  income tax  liability of  approximately  $3.2 million
          would have been  recorded at December 31, 1995 had the Company's tax
          status changed as of that date.

     f.   Statement  of Cash Flows - For  purposes  of the  statement  of cash
          flows, the Company  considers  tax-exempt bonds with a seven-day put
          at par value, and money market investments to be cash equivalents.

     g.   Recoverability  of  Long-Lived  Assets - The  Company  assesses  the
          recoverability  of  long-lived  assets by  determining  whether  the
          depreciation  of  the  assets  over  their  remaining  lives  can be
          recovered  through  undiscounted  future operating cash flows of the
          Company. The amount of the impairment,  if any, is measured based on
          discounted  projected  future  operating cash flows using a discount
          rate reflecting the Company's average cost of funds.

     h.   Use of Estimates in the  Preparation  of Financial  Statements - The
          preparation  of financial  statements in conformity  with  generally
          accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates
          and  assumptions  that  affect  the  reported  amounts of assets and
          liabilities  and disclosure of contingent  assets and liabilities at
          the date of the  financial  statements  and the reported  amounts of
          revenues and expenses  during the reporting  period.  Actual results
          could differ from those estimates.

                                                                    38,051,354

                                                                   -----------
                                                                   $37,175,771
                                                                   ===========

     On February 5, 1996,  the Company repaid $5 million of the unsecured term
     loan.  Concurrently,  the  Company  used  proceeds  of a note  payable to
     Worthington  (see Note 1) to repay the remaining  balance  outstanding of
     $31.25  million  under  the  unsecured  term  loan and  revolving  credit
     agreement.  The terms of the note payable to Worthington are based on the
     terms of  borrowings  of a like  amount  by  Worthington  from a group of
     banks.  The  entire  balance  of the  borrowings  by  Worthington  is due
     November 1, 1996. At Worthington's  option,  the amount outstanding under
     the note bears interest at (i) the greater of the Federal Funds Rate plus
     .5% or the prime rate or (ii)  LIBOR  plus .2% to .325%  based on certain
     financial  ratios.  Interest is payable  quarterly.  Borrowings under the
     revolving credit and term loan agreement bore interest,  at the Company's
     option,  at the prime rate, the certificate of deposit rate plus .625% to
     1.25%,  Euro-Rate  plus .5% to 1% or the As Offered Rate.  Total interest
     paid on all debt during 1995 was approximately $948,000.

     The combined  aggregate amount of maturities of all long-term  borrowings
     existing at December 31, 1995  considering  the effects of the repayments
     in February 1996 discussed above, are as follows:  1996 - $37,125,583 and
     1997 - $925,771.

6.   OPERATING LEASES

     The Company  leases  certain  manufacturing  facilities  and office space
     under noncancelable  lease agreements.  The lease periods range from 5 to
     10 years and all leases  contain  renewal  options.  Total  expense under
     these lease agreements was $1,164,545 in 1995.

     The future minimum lease payments for all noncancelable  operating leases
     are as follows:  1996 - $1,077,824;  1997 - $1,033,961;  1998 - $833,242;
     1999 - $567,629; 2000 - $389,436; thereafter - $1,380,659.

7.   STOCK APPRECIATION RIGHTS PLAN

     The Company  maintains a Stock  Appreciation  Rights Plan which  provides
     deferred compensation benefits to certain key employees.  On December 31,
     1995, the stock appreciation rights were held by 63 employees. The values

                                     -10-
<PAGE>
     assigned to the rights at the dates of grant ranged from $3.85 to $20.797
     per share.  During  1995,  9,800 rights were  granted,  3,500 rights were
     canceled,  and 51,100  rights were  exercised  at $20.797  per share.  At
     December  31,  1995 the number of stock  appreciation  rights  vested was
     102,332.

     Under the provisions of APB No. 25, the Company  expenses the increase in
     the value of the stock appreciation  rights resulting from changes in the
     Adjusted  Book  Value (as  defined  in the plan  document)  of its common
     stock.  Total  expense  for the  year  ended  December  31,  1995 was not
     material.

     As a result of the sale of the Company's  stock  discussed in Note 1, all
     rights  became fully  vested and all  holders,  to receive cash for their
     rights, must exercise their rights within 90 days of the date of the sale
     by  notifying  the  Company.  At the date of the sale there were  153,132
     stock  appreciation  rights  outstanding  with a fair value of $48.86 per
     right.  The estimated  total cash payment that would be due to holders of
     rights upon their exercise is approximately $6,000,000.

8.   DEFINED CONTRIBUTION RETIREMENT PLANS

     The  Company  maintains  purchased  money  retirement  plans for  various
     employee groups represented by collective  bargaining  agreements.  Total
     expense for the year ended December 31, 1995 was approximately $363,200.

     The Company  maintains a  profit-sharing  retirement  plan for all of its
     salaried  employees.  Annual  contributions to the plan are determined at
     the  discretion  of the Board of  Directors.  Total  expense for the year
     ended December 31, 1995 was approximately $743,800.

9.   OTHER COMMITMENTS

     The Company is required  to maintain  letters of credit in the  aggregate
     amount of  approximately  $4  million  under  the  terms of its  workers'
     compensation  insurance  policies.  At December 31,  1995,  there were no
     amounts drawn under these facilities.

                         WORTHINGTON INDUSTRIES, INC.

             PRO FORMA CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

                                  (UNAUDITED)

The following unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated  statements of income
for the twelve  months ended May 31, 1995 and the nine months  ended  February
29, 1996 give effect to the purchase by  Worthington  Industries,  Inc. of the
stock of  Dietrich  Industries,  Inc.  as if the  transaction  occurred at the
beginning of each period presented. The pro forma adjustments to the pro forma
condensed  consolidated  statements  of income for the twelve months ended May
31, 1995 and the nine months ended February 29, 1996,  assume the  transaction
occurred  on June 1,  1994  and June 1,  1995,  respectively.  Actual  closing
occurred on February 5, 1996.

The pro forma  financial  information is based on the historical  consolidated
financial  statements  of  Worthington  Industries,  Inc.  and the  historical
financial  information  of  Dietrich  Industries,  Inc.  and should be read in
conjunction  with  such  financial  statements  and  accompanying  notes.  The
purchase  method of  accounting  was used to prepare  the pro forma  financial
statements  using  the  purchase  price  established  in  the  stock  purchase
agreement and  estimated  fair values of the net assets.  The actual  purchase
accounting  adjustments  to reflect  the fair values of the net assets will be
based on management's  evaluation,  therefore the  adjustments  that have been
used in the pro forma condensed consolidated financial information are subject
to change pending the final allocation of the purchase price.

In accordance  with  Regulation S-X Rule  11-02(c)(1),  a pro forma  condensed
consolidated  balance sheet giving effect to the  acquisition  of the stock of
Dietrich has not been included in this filing,  since the transaction has been
reflected  in  the  condensed   consolidated   balance  sheet  of  Worthington
Industries, Inc. in the Company's quarterly report on Form 10Q for the quarter
ended February 29, 1996.

The pro forma financial  information  does not purport to be indicative of the
results  of  operations  which  would  have  actually  been  obtained  if  the
acquisition  had occurred on the dates indicated nor the results of operations
which will be reported in the future.
