     For further information refer to the financial statements and footnotes
     included in the Company's annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended
     March 31, 1995.

NOTE B -- INVENTORIES

     Coil inventory consists primarily of raw materials. Tubular inventory is
     comprised of both raw materials and finished goods. Cost for the Company's
     coil inventory is determined under the last-in, first-out (LIFO) method.
     During the quarter ended June 30, 1994, LIFO inventories were liquidated.
     Cost of goods sold was charged and a deferred credit was recorded for the
     difference ($508,162) between the estimated replacement cost and the LIFO
     cost of these inventories.

NOTE C -- EARNINGS PER SHARE

     Earnings per common and common equivalent share for the periods ended June
     30, 1995 and June 30, 1994 are based on the weighted average number of
     common and common equivalent (stock options) shares outstanding as follows:

     Earnings per share assuming full dilution for the quarters ended June 30,
1995 and 1994, are not presented because they are not materially dilutive.
Stock options are not included in the above computations of common and common
equivalent shares outstanding since their effect is not significant.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
FRIEDMAN INDUSTRIES, INCORPORATED

Three Months Ended June 30, 1995 Compared
        To Three Months Ended June 30, 1994


        During the quarter ended June 30, 1995, sales, costs of goods sold and 
gross profit increased $5,753,953, $5,002,255 and $751,698, respectively from 
the comparable amounts recorded during the quarter ended June 30, 1994. The 
sales increase resulted primarily from additional volume and an increase in 
average selling prices. The Company's tubular operations reflected a
substantial increase in sales during the June 1995 quarter. These operations
benefited from stronger market conditions for its products and services and
resulted in improved sales for each of its product lines. The increase in costs
of goods sold was related primarily to the sales increase noted above. Gross
profit increased as a result of the increase in sales combined with an improved
margin rate. Margin rates were 7.9% and 6.6% in June 1995 and June 1994,
respectively. This improvement was primarily related to tubular operations.
During the June 1995 quarter, the margin rate earned on the sales of tubular
products increased primarily as a result of the efficiencies associated with
increased production as well as the stronger market conditions noted above.

        General, selling and administrative costs increased $112,829 from the 
amount recorded during the June 1994 quarter. This increase was primarily 
related to incentive remuneration based primarily on earnings and volume.

        Interest expense increased $97,499 from the comparable amount recorded 
during the June 1994 quarter. This increase was primarily related to interest 
paid on borrowings under the Company's bank line of credit which were used to 
support working capital.

        Federal income taxes increased $185,247 as a result of an increase in 
earnings before taxes. Tax rates were the same for both periods.

FINANCIAL POSITION, LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

        The Company remained in a strong, liquid position at June 30, 1995. 
Current ratios were 4.6 and 4.5 at June 30, 1995 and March 31, 1995, 
respectively. Working capital was $21,301,141 at June 30, 1995, and $20,140,221 
at March 31, 1995. The Company has a line of credit arrangement with  a bank
whereby it may borrow up to $8,000,000. At June 30, 1995, borrowings of 
$5,000,000 had been made under this line of credit arrangement which expires
April 1, 1998.

                    INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS' REVIEW REPORT

Board of Directors
Friedman Industries, Incorporated

We have reviewed the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet of
Friedman Industries, Incorporated as of June 30, 1995, and the related
consolidated statements of earnings and cash flows for the three-month periods
ended June 30, 1995 and 1994. These financial statements are the responsibility
of the Company's management.

We conducted our reviews in accordance with standards established by the
American Institute of Certified Public Accountants. A review of interim
financial information consists principally of applying analytical procedures to
financial data and making inquiries of persons responsible for financial and
accounting matters. It is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted
in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards, which will be
performed for the full year with the objective of expressing an opinion
regarding the financial statements taken as a whole. Accordingly, we do not
express such an opinion.

Based on our reviews, we are not aware of any material modifications that
should be made to the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements
referred to above for them to be in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles.

We have previously audited, in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards, the consolidated balance sheet of Friedman Industries, Incorporated,
as of March 31, 1995, and the related consolidated statements of earnings,
stockholders' equity and cash flows for the year then ended (not presented
herein) and in our report dated May 26, 1995, we expressed an unqualified
opinion on those consolidated financial statements. In our opinion, the
information set forth in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet
as of March 31, 1995 is fairly stated, in all material respects, in relation to 
the consolidated balance sheet from which it has been derived.
