                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Note 1 - Organization and basis of presentation:

    Keystone Consolidated Industries, Inc. (the "Company") is a majority-owned
subsidiary of Contran Corporation ("Contran").  At March 31, 1995, Contran held,
directly or indirectly, approximately 67% of the Company's outstanding common
stock.  

    The consolidated balance sheet at December 31, 1994 has been condensed from
the Company's audited consolidated financial statements at that date.  The
consolidated balance sheet at March 31, 1995 and the consolidated statements of
operations and cash flows for the interim periods ended March 31, 1994 and 1995,
and the consolidated statement of stockholders' deficit  for the interim period
ended March 31, 1995 have been prepared by the Company without audit.  In the
opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring
adjustments, necessary to present fairly the consolidated financial position,
results of operations and cash flows have been made.  However, it should be
understood that accounting measurements at interim dates may be less precise
than at year end.  The results of operations for the interim periods are not
necessarily indicative of the operating results for a full year or of future
operations.   

    Certain information normally included in financial statements prepared in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles has been condensed or
omitted.  The accompanying consolidated financial statements should be read in
conjunction with the consolidated financial statements included in the Company's
Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1994 (the "Annual
Report").

Note 2 - Income per share:

    Income per share is based on the weighted average number of common and
common equivalent shares outstanding during each period.

Note 3 - Inventories:

    Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market.  The last-in, first-
out ("LIFO") method is used to determine the cost of approximately three-fourths
of total inventories with the first-in, first-out or average cost methods used
to determine the cost of other inventories.

</TABLE>

    The Company maintains a $35 million revolving credit facility which matures
December 31, 1996, is collateralized primarily by the Company's trade
receivables and inventories, and bears interest at the prime rate plus 1.5% (an
effective rate of 10.5% at March 31, 1995).  The amount of available borrowings
is based on formula-determined amounts of trade receivables and inventories,
less the amount of outstanding letters of credit.  Additional borrowings
available were $20.2 million at March 31, 1995.  This credit facility requires
that the Company's daily cash receipts be used to reduce the outstanding
borrowings, which results in the Company maintaining zero cash balances.

    The Company's term loan is with the financial institution that provides the
Company's revolving credit facility, bears interest at the prime rate plus 1%,
and is due in installments through December 31, 1996.  The loan requires
compliance with the restrictive covenants, security agreement and certain other
terms of the revolving credit facility, is further collateralized by the
Company's property, plant and equipment, and becomes due and payable if the
Company terminates its revolving credit facility.

    The Company's commercial credit agreements contain restrictive covenants
including a prohibition against the payment of dividends without lender consent
and certain minimum working capital and net worth requirements.  

Note 5 - Income taxes:    

    The difference between the provision for income taxes and the amounts that
would be expected using the U.S. federal statutory income tax rate is primarily
related to state income taxes.  The net deferred tax asset at each of December
31, 1994 and March 31, 1995 is net of a $30 million valuation allowance.  There
was no change in the deferred tax valuation allowance during the first three
months of 1994 or 1995.

Note 6 - Pension plans:

    Variances from actuarial assumptions, including the rate of return on
pension plan assets, will result in increases or decreases in accrued pension
costs, deferred taxes, stockholders' deficit, pension expense and related
funding requirements in future periods.

    During the early 1980's the Company received permission from the Internal
Revenue Service to defer certain annual pension plan contributions.  At March
31, 1995, the remaining balance of such deferred contributions was approximately
$9.9 million.  Such deferred amounts, with interest, are payable to the plans
through 2000 and are collateralized by a lien on all of the Company's assets.

Note 7 - Contingencies:    

    Environmental matters.  As discussed in the Annual Report, the Company is
involved in the closure of inactive waste disposal units as well as the disposal
of radioactive arc dust.  In addition, the Company is subject to federal and
state "Superfund" legislation at three sites involving cleanup of landfills and
disposal facilities which allegedly received hazardous substances generated by
discontinued operations of the Company.  The Company has accrued its estimated
costs related to these issues.  The Company believes its comprehensive general
liability insurance policies provide indemnification for certain costs the
Company incurs at the "Superfund" sites and has recorded receivables for the
estimated insurance recoveries.  There was no significant change in the status
of these environmental matters during the first three months of 1995.

    Other litigation.  The Company is engaged in various legal proceedings
incidental to its normal business activities.  In the opinion of the Company,
none of such proceedings are material in relation to the Company's consolidated
financial position, results of operations or liquidity.


MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF
OPERATIONS                                                                    

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS:

    The Company's principal operations are the manufacture and sale of carbon
steel rod, wire and wire products for agricultural, industrial, construction,
commercial, original equipment manufacturers and retail consumer markets. 
Historically, the Company has experienced greater sales and profits during the
first half of the year due to the seasonality of sales in principal wire
products markets, including the agricultural and construction markets.  

    Net sales of $90.8 million for the first quarter of 1995 represent a 4%
increase over the comparable 1994 quarter.  Tons of product sold increased 2%
with wire and wire products sales increasing 6% to 112,000 tons and rod sales
decreasing 4% to 65,000 tons.  Wire and wire products are sold at higher selling
prices per ton than rod.  Both rod and wire per ton selling prices increased
approximately 4% in 1995 over the comparable 1994 period while per ton selling
prices of wire products declined 3%, principally due to a 5% decrease in the
average selling price of nails.  

    Gross profit was $7.5 million for the first quarter of 1995, up slightly
from 1994.  Gross profit margins were approximately 8.3% during both periods as
lower 1995 costs for scrap steel, the Company's primary raw material, and lower
rod conversion costs were offset by changes in the product mix within the wire
and wire products category and increased costs related to the production outages
at the Peoria rod mill, discussed below.

    Scrap steel costs in the first quarter of 1995 were approximately 2% lower
than one year ago and are currently expected to approximate current levels
during the second quarter of 1995.  

    During the first quarter of 1995, billet production of 158,000 tons at the
Peoria steel mill increased 5% over the comparable 1994 period.  As the
Company's billet production capacity is less than its rod production capacity,

the Company periodically purchases billets from other suppliers to increase
utilization of the rod mill and thus assure the Company's ability to meet
customer orders.  The decision to purchase billets depends on prices, product
demand and other market conditions.  During the first quarter of 1995 the
Company purchased 32,000 tons of billets compared to 30,000 tons purchased in
the first quarter of 1994.  However, despite the increased billet production and
purchases, unscheduled downtime during the first quarter of 1995 limited rod
production to the 1994 level of 171,000 tons.  The Company has corrected the
mechanical and operational problems that caused the downtime and production has
returned to planned levels.

    Selling, general and administrative expenses, as a percentage of net sales,
were comparable in both periods.  Interest expense increased in the 1995 period
due primarily to higher interest rates.


LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES:    

    The Company's cash flows from operating activities are affected by the
seasonality of its business as sales of certain products used in the
agricultural and construction industries are typically highest during the second
quarter and lowest during the fourth quarter of each year.  These seasonal
fluctuations, as well as the normal maintenance shutdown in December at the
Company's Peoria, Illinois facility, impact the timing of production, sales and
purchases and typically result in a use of cash from operations and increases in
the outstanding balance under the Company's revolving credit facility during the
first quarter of the year.  

    At March 31, 1995 the Company had working capital of $4 million.  Notes
payable and current maturities of long-term debt, deductions in the computation
of such working capital, aggregated $18.7 million at March 31, 1995 and included
outstanding borrowings of $14.5 million under the Company's $35 million
revolving credit facility.  The amount of available borrowings is based on
formula-determined amounts of trade receivables and inventories, less the amount
of outstanding letters of credit.  Additional borrowings available were $20.2
million at March 31, 1995.  The revolving credit facility requires that the
Company's daily cash receipts be used to reduce the outstanding borrowings,
which results in the Company maintaining zero cash balances.  Borrowings under
the revolving credit facility currently mature December 31, 1996.  

    Pension contributions and capital expenditures for the first quarter of 1995
were $4.4 million and $2.8 million, respectively, and are currently estimated to
be approximately $20.4 million and $20 million for the full year, respectively. 

    Management has budgeted profitable results of operations with sufficient
cash flows from operations and financing activities to meet its anticipated
operating needs for the remainder of 1995.  This budget is based upon
management's assessment of various financial and operational factors including,
but not limited to, assumptions relating to product shipments; product mix and
selling prices; production schedules; productivity rates; raw materials;
electricity; labor; employee benefit and other fixed and variable costs; working
capital requirements; interest rates; repayments of long-term debt; capital
expenditures; and available borrowings under the Company's revolving credit
facility.  However, potential liabilities under environmental laws and
regulations with respect to the clean-up and disposal of wastes beyond present
accruals, any significant increases in the required minimum fundings to the
Company's pension funds or in the cost of providing medical coverage to active
and retired employees could have a material adverse affect on the future
liquidity, financial condition and results of operations of the Company. 
Additionally, any significant decline in the Company's markets or market share,
any inability to maintain satisfactory billet and rod production levels, or any
other unanticipated costs, if significant, could result in a need for funds
greater than the Company currently has available.  There can be no assurance the
Company would be able to obtain an adequate amount of additional financing.
