                     L. B. FOSTER COMPANY AND SUBSIDIARIES
             NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1. FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial
statements have been prepared in accordance with generally
accepted accounting principles for interim financial information
and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of
Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the
information and footnotes required by generally accepted
accounting principles for complete financial statements. In the
opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal
recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation
have been included. Operating results for the six months ended
June 30, 1995 are not necessarily indicative of the results that
may be expected for the year ended December 31, 1995. For
further information, refer to the consolidated financial
statements and footnotes thereto included in the Company's
annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1994.

2. ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES

In March 1995, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 121, "Accounting
for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived
Assets to be Disposed Of".  This statement is effective for
fiscal years beginning after December 15, 1995, although earlier
application is permitted.  Management has not yet determined the
impact the statement will have on the Company's financial
statements.

3. ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE

Credit is extended on an evaluation of the customer's financial
condition and, generally, collateral is not required. Credit
terms are consistent with industry standards and practices.
Trade accounts receivable at June 30, 1995 and December 31, 1994
have been reduced by an allowance for doubtful accounts of
$1,682,000 and $1,615,000, respectively. Bad debt expense was
$71,000 and $120,000 for the six month periods ended June 30,
1995 and 1994, respectively.

4. INVENTORIES

Inventories of the Company at June 30, 1995 and December 31,
1994 are summarized as follows (in thousands):
<TABLE>
<CAPTION>        	  					                   June 30,	     December 31,
	       					                                 1995           1994    
      <S>                                   <C>             <C>
    	 Finished goods				                   	$34,652	      	 $28,495
    	 Work-in-process				 	                  14,174	 	       14,242
    	 Raw materials				                       2,478 	         2,971      

   	 Total inventories at current costs:	    51,304	 	       45,708
    	(Less):
       	 Current costs over LIFO
      	    stated values			                  (1,757)	 	      (1,457)
       	 Reserve for decline in
        	  market value of inventories         (600) 	         (600) 

                               							      $48,947  	      $43,651  
</TABLE>
<PAGE>
Inventories of the Company are generally valued at the lower of
last-in, first-out (LIFO) cost or market. Other inventories of
the Company are valued at average cost or market, whichever is
lower. An actual valuation of inventory under the LIFO method
can be made only at the end of each year based on the inventory
levels and costs at that time. Accordingly, interim LIFO
calculations must necessarily be based on management's estimates
of expected year-end levels and costs.

5. SHORT-TERM BORROWINGS

In May 1995, the Company's revolving loan agreement was amended
to increase the borrowing commitment by $5,000,000 to
$45,000,000.  The increased borrowing commitment is effective
until October 31, 1995.

6. EARNINGS PER COMMON SHARE

Earnings per common share are computed by dividing net income by
the average number of Class A common shares and common stock
equivalents outstanding during the periods June 30, 1995 and
1994 of approximately 9,923,000.  Common stock equivalents are
the net additional number of shares which would be issuable upon
the exercise of the outstanding common stock options, assuming
that the Company used the proceeds to purchase additional shares
at market value. Common stock equivalents had no material effect
on the computation of earnings per share for the periods ending
June 30, 1995 and 1994.

7. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENT LIABILITIES

The Company is subject to laws and regulations relating to the
protection of the environment. While it is not possible to
quantify with certainty the potential impact of actions
regarding environmental matters, particularly any future
remediation and other compliance efforts, in the opinion of
management, compliance with the present environmental protection
laws will not have a material adverse effect on the financial
position, competitive position, or capital expenditures of the
Company. However, the Company's efforts to comply with
increasingly stringent environmental regulations may have an
adverse effect on the Company's future earnings.

In March 1994, Livermore Amador Valley Wastewater Management
Agency ("LAVWMA") notified the Company that it had supplied
LAVWMA with pipe for a pipeline constructed between 1978 and
1979, and alleged that a substantial portion of the interior
lining of the pipe had delaminated.  On August 26, 1994, LAVWMA
filed suit against the Company in Superior Court of California,
Eastern District of the County of Alameda and alleged that the
Company is liable under theories of negligence and strict
liability for the cost of repairing or replacing the pipe and
punitive damages.  LAVWMA contends that the cost of repairing
and/or replacing the pipeline will be between $10 million and
$30 million.   The Company subsequently removed the case to the
United States District Court in the Northern District of
California.  Although no assurances can be given, the Company
believes it has meritorious defenses to this action and will
defend itself vigorously.

The Company is subject to legal proceedings and claims which
arise in the ordinary course of its business.  In the opinion of
management, the amount of ultimate liability with respect to
these actions will not materially affect the financial position
of the Company.

At June 30, 1995, the Company had outstanding letters of credit
of approximately $1,837,000.

Second Quarter 1995 Results of Operations 

The net income for the 1995 second quarter was $1.7 million or
$0.17 per share.  This compares to a 1994 second quarter net
income of $1.2 million or $0.12 per share.  

Net sales for the 1995 second quarter were $72.6 million or 20%
higher than the comparable period in 1994.  Rail products' net
sales of $30.3 million increased 33% from the comparable period
last year, principally as a result of higher billings of new rail
and transit products.  Construction products' net sales of $25.5
million in the 1995 second quarter were 21% higher than in 1994
due to substantially higher volume for piling products.  Tubular
products' net sales were unchanged from 1994, with an increase
in the sales of coated pipe products offsetting declines in the
sales of threaded and Fosterweld pipe products.  Changes in net
sales are primarily the result of changes in volume rather than
changes in prices.

The gross margin percentage for the Company in the 1995 second
quarter decreased to 11% versus 12% in the 1994 quarter, due
primarily to a reduction in rail products gross margin related
to lower margins on running rail supply contracts.  Construction
products' gross margin remained unchanged at 11%.  Increased
piling gross margin offset startup costs related to the new
Ephrata, PA sign structure facility and continued weakness in
the Company's pile driving equipment business.  The gross margin
percentage for the Company's tubular products segment also
remained unchanged from the prior year,  with margins for coated
pipe products improving, and margins for warehouse and threaded
pipe products declining.

Selling and administrative expenses increased 9% in the 1995
second quarter from the same period last year due to higher
employee benefit costs and performance related accruals. 
Interest expense increased from the second quarter of 1994
primarily as a result of increased borrowings to finance working
capital and higher interest rates.  The income tax rate is less
than the statutory rate in both 1995 and 1994 as a result of
changes in net deferred tax assets.


First Six Months of 1995 Results of Operations

The net income for the first six months of 1995 was $2.1 million
or $0.21 per share.  This compares to a 1994 first six months
net income of $0.9 million or $0.09 per share.

Net sales in 1995 were $128.0 million or 21% higher than in the
first half of 1994.  Rail products' net sales of $51.4 million
increased 28% from the comparable period last year as a result
of higher billings in all rail units.  Construction products'
net sales of $44.7 million also increased 28% in the first six
months of 1995 due to substantially higher volume for piling
products.  Tubular products' net sales were $31.9 million or 5%
higher than in 1994.  An increase in the sales of coated pipe
products more than offset declines in the sales of threaded and
Fosterweld pipe products.  Changes in net sales are primarily
the result of changes in volume rather than changes in prices.

The gross margin percentage for the Company was 11% in the first
half of both 1995 and 1994.  Rail products' gross margin
percentage declined to 12% from 14% in the year earlier six
months period due primarily to lower margins on running rail
supply contracts.  Construction products' gross margin of 11%
was unchanged from the comparable period in 1994.  The gross
margin percentage for the Company's tubular products segment
increased to 9% from 7% in 1994 due to increased pipe coating
volume.  

Selling and administrative expenses increased 8% in the 1995
first half from the same period last year due to higher employee
benefit costs and performance related accruals.  Interest
expense increased primarily as a result of both higher
borrowings to finance working capital and higher interest rates.
 The income tax rate is lower than the statutory rate in both
1995 and 1994 as a result of changes in net deferred tax assets.

Liquidity and Capital Resources 

The Company's ability to generate internal cash flow
("liquidity") results from the sale of inventory and the
collection of accounts receivable.  During the first six months
of 1995, the average turnover rates for accounts receivable and
inventories were relatively unchanged from the prior year. 
Working capital at June 30, 1995 was $60 million compared to $53
million at  December 31, 1994.  

During the first six months of 1995, the Company had capital
expenditures of $2.7 million principally related to the new
Newport coated pipe facility and trackwork production equipment.
Capital expenditures for the second half of 1995 are expected
to be approximately $1.5 million.  Capital expenditures are
anticipated to be funded by cash flows from operations and the
proceeds from capital leases. 

In May 1995, the Company's revolving credit agreement was
amended to increase the borrowing commitment to $45 million
through October 31, 1995.  Although the current agreement does
not expire until July 1996, the Company is currently negotiating
a revised revolving credit agreement.  Total revolving credit
agreement borrowings at June 30, 1995 were $43.2 million
compared to $33.9 million at the end of 1994.  The increase was
used to finance greater working capital requirements as a result
of higher second quarter sales and order entry. Outstanding
letters of credit at June 30, 1995 were $1.8 million.  At June
30, 1995, the Company had no unused borrowing commitment. 
Management anticipates that inventory levels will be reduced
during the second half of 1995 and that cash generated by the
reductions will be used to lower its revolving credit
borrowings.   Management believes its internal and external
sources of funds are adequate to meet anticipated needs.

Other Matters

In March 1994, Livermore Amador Valley Wastewater Management
Agency ("LAVWMA") notified the Company that it had supplied
LAVWMA with pipe for a pipeline constructed between 1978 and
1979, and alleged that a substantial portion of the interior
lining of the pipe had delaminated.  In August 1994, LAVWMA
filed suit against the Company in Superior Court of California,
Eastern District of the County of Alameda and alleged that the
Company is liable under theories of negligence and strict
liability for the cost of repairing or replacing the pipe and
punitive damages.  LAVWMA contends that the cost of repairing
and/or replacing the pipeline will be between $10 million and
$30 million.   The Company subsequently removed the case to the
United States District Court in the Northern District of
California.  Although no assurances can be given, the Company
believes it has meritorious defenses to this action and will
defend itself vigorously.

The Company is responsible for certain waste previously
generated at its former tie treating facility in Winslow,
Indiana.  Test results performed for the Company indicate
possible contamination and additional testing is required. 
Until such testing is completed, the Company can not determine
what additional actions, if any, may be necessary.  Although no
assurances can be given, the Company believes that additional
costs will not be material.

It is not possible to quantify with certainty the potential
impact of all actions regarding environmental matters,
particularly future remediation and other compliance efforts. 
However, in the opinion of management, compliance with present
environmental protection laws will not have a material adverse
effect on the financial position of the Company.  The Company's
efforts to comply with increasingly stringent environmental
matters may have an adverse effect on the Company's future
earnings.

In March 1995, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 121, "Accounting
for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived
Assets to be Disposed Of".  This statement is effective for
fiscal years beginning after December 15, 1995, although earlier
application is permitted.  Management has not yet determined the
impact the statement will have on the Company's financial
statements.

Outlook

The Company's future operating results may be affected by a
number of factors.  The Company is dependent upon a number of
major suppliers. If a supplier had operational problems or
ceased making material available to the Company, operations
could be adversely affected.  The Company's operations are in
part dependent on governmental funding of infrastructure
projects. Significant changes in the level of government funding
of these projects could have a favorable or unfavorable impact
on the operating results of the Company.  Additionally,
governmental actions concerning taxation, tariffs, the
environment or other matters could  impact  the operating
results of the Company. The Company's operations results may
also be affected by the weather. 

Management continues to evaluate the overall performance of
certain operations.  A decision to terminate an operation could
have a material effect on near term earnings but would not be
expected to have a material adverse effect on the financial
condition of the Company.

Although backlog is not necessarily indicative of future
operating results, total Company backlog at June 30, 1995, was
approximately $108 million or 34% higher than at the end of the
previous year.  At June 30, 1995, backlog for the Company's rail
products segment increased to $61 million from $48 million at
the end of the previous year.  The increase was principally from
municipal transit projects.  Construction products' backlog was
$28 million at June 30, 1995, and $19 million at December 31,
1994.  The increase was principally in piling products.  Tubular
products' backlog improved to $19 million at June 30, 1995, from
$15 million at the end of the previous year principally due to
an increase in orders for coated pipe products.
