SELECTED NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Dollars in thousands except per share amounts)

1.  Basis of Presentation

    The financial statements are unaudited but reflect all
    adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) which are,
    in the opinion of management, necessary to a fair statement of
    the results for the interim periods presented.  These financial
    statements should be read in conjunction with the financial
    statements and related notes in the 1993 Annual Report to Stock-
    holders.  Results from any interim period are not necessarily
    indicative of the results for a full year.

2.  Discontinued Operations

    As part of a program, adopted in 1993, to focus Lukens' resources
    on its steel businesses, the subsidiaries previously reported in
    the Corrosion Protection Group, Safety Products Group and most
    subsidiaries in the Diversified Group were reported as
    discontinued operations.

    In the first quarter of 1994, the safety products and materials-
    handling subsidiaries were sold.  Net proceeds from the sales
    totaled $46,649.  Net assets of these subsidiaries as of year-end
    1993 were $46,837.
    
    In 1994, earnings from discontinued operations and divestiture
    gains or losses are being charged against the discontinued
    operations loss provision established in the fourth quarter of
    1993.  Second quarter 1994 net sales and net loss taken to the
    provision were $15,537 and $291, respectively.  For the 1994
    first half, net sales of discontinued operations were $46,580
    with a net loss of $641, excluding a small net gain on
    divestitures.

    Net sales and income tax expense of the discontinued operations
    and an earnings per common share reconciliation (before the
    cumulative effect of accounting changes) for 1993 are as follows.

    Net assets of the remaining discontinued operations at the end
    of the 1994 second quarter were $40,002. 

3.  Long-term Debt

    During June, a shelf registration for $100,000 of Lukens Inc.
    notes was completed.  Although there are no immediate plans to
    issue the notes, they are available as a financing option for our
    five-year, $400,000 capital expenditure program that began in
    1993 and other long-term liquidity needs.   The notes are
    structured to provide Lukens with flexibility in maturities, from
    nine months to 30 years, and flexibility in interest rate
    structures.
  
4.  Commitments and Contingencies
    
    The company is party to various claims, disputes, legal actions
    and other proceedings involving product liability, contracts,
    equal employment opportunity, occupational safety, environmental
    issues and various other matters.  In the opinion of management,
    the outcome of these matters should not have a material adverse
    effect on the consolidated financial condition or results of
    operations of the company. 


         
Item 2.  Management's Discussion and Analysis of 
         Financial Condition and Results of Operations.
         (Dollars in thousands)

Changes in Financial Condition during 
the Twenty-six Weeks Ended June 25, 1994

Capital Structure

Cash and cash equivalents totaled $5,211 at the end of the second
quarter, a decrease of $6,272 from the end of 1993.  Working capital
of $116,330 was down $29,704 from the balance at the end of 1993. 
Divestitures of certain discontinued operations caused a decrease in
working capital of $24,238.  The current ratio was 1.7 compared to 1.9
at year-end 1993.

Debt at the end of the second quarter was $202,728, a decrease of
$23,861 from the beginning of the year.  The decrease was caused
primarily by repayment of short-term notes under our revolving credit
agreements.  Also, a $3,000 industrial revenue bond, collateralized
by property owned by one of the discontinued operations, was repaid. 
The ratio of long-term debt to capital (long-term debt plus
stockholders' investment) was 42.4 percent, which compared to 45.3
percent at year-end 1993.

During June 1994, a shelf registration for $100,000 of Lukens Inc.
notes was completed.  Although there are no immediate plans to issue
the notes, they are available as a financing option for our five-year,
$400,000 capital expenditure program that began in 1993 and other
long-term liquidity needs.  The notes are structured to provide Lukens
with flexibility in maturities, from nine months to 30 years, and
flexibility in interest rate structures.  

Liquidity

Cash flow from operating activity was $27,037 for the first half of
the year compared to 1993 cash flow of $37,018.  Lower results for the
1994 first half and increased working capital requirements contributed
to the drop in cash flow from operating activity.  We anticipate that
cash flow from operating activity will continue to benefit from strong
shipment levels, evidenced by an order backlog at the end of the
quarter that totaled $192,797, up 90 percent from the beginning of the
year.  The favorable effect of higher shipment levels is expected to
be offset by a lower-value shipment mix and lower selling prices in
the Washington Stainless Group.  Higher scrap costs in the Lukens
Steel Group are also expected to be a negative factor.  Overall, we
expect 1994 cash flow from operating activity to be in the range of
1993 cash flow.

Currently, the Washington Stainless Group is operating at full melting
capacity.  Expansion of stainless steel melting, as part of our
capital expenditure program, will enable Lukens to better meet this
demand.

Financing activity required $30,119, including dividend payments of
$8,568 and debt repayments of $22,029.  Investing activity required
$3,190 with proceeds from the discontinued operations divestitures
offset by capital expenditures of $50,569.

Capital expenditure projections for 1994 continue to be high, with
expenditures of approximately $138,000 projected.  We anticipate
funding the balance of these expenditures through the combination of
cash flow from operations, debt under an existing committed line of
credit and proceeds from the sale of discontinued operations.
    
In the long term, Lukens relies on the ability to generate sufficient
cash flows from operating activity to fund investing and financing
requirements and maintain a target long-term debt to capital ratio of
35 percent.  Because of our aggressive capital expenditure program,
however, we anticipate exceeding our target long-term debt to capital
ratio until the projected benefits of the program improve cash flow
from operations.  Start-up of the plate and sheet processing system
at our Conshohocken, Pennsylvania facility, originally scheduled for
late in 1994, has been delayed until the end of the 1995 first
quarter.  The benefits of this system, including lower production
costs and an expanded product range, will likely not be realized until
late in 1995.

Results of Operations for the Quarters Ended
June 25, 1994 and June 26, 1993                    

Operating Results

Second quarter operating earnings of $14,724 were 14 percent below
1993 earnings of $17,178.  Both business groups reported lower results
for the quarter.  Lower earnings in the Lukens Steel Group primarily
reflected higher scrap costs and a lower-value shipment mix, partially
offset by improved selling prices.  In the Washington Stainless Group,
lower selling prices in sheet and strip products and a lower-value
shipment mix contributed to a decrease in earnings.

Sales for the second quarter were $242,212, up 7 percent from 1993
sales of $226,871, with both business groups contributing to the
increase.

Interest Expense

Interest expense of $3,915 was down 4 percent compared to 1993 expense
of $4,067.  The decrease was attributable to lower interest rate swap
expense and lower debt levels.

Income Taxes

The effective tax rate was 39.0 percent in 1994 and 38.8 percent in
1993.
    
Results From Continuing Operations 

Lower operating results caused a decrease in earnings from continuing
operations of 18 percent, from $8,032 in 1993 to $6,594 in 1994.

Discontinued Operations

Earnings from discontinued operations of $1,497 were recognized in
1993.  In 1994, earnings from discontinued operations are being
charged against the loss provision established in the fourth quarter
of 1993.  For more information on discontinued operations, see Note
2.

Net Earnings

Net earnings of $6,594 were down 31 percent compared to $9,529 in
1993.

    Lukens Steel Group

    Sales for the second quarter were up 5 percent.  Improved selling
    prices and higher shipment volumes were the primary causes for
    the sales increase.  Shipments of 190,900 tons in 1994 were up
    3 percent from the 184,700 tons shipped in 1993.  Despite the
    increase in sales, earnings declined 15 percent.  Margins were
    impacted by higher scrap costs, which peaked early in the second
    quarter, and a lower-value shipment mix.  Although scrap costs
    have recently declined, these costs are expected to remain at
    relatively high levels.

    Washington Stainless Group

    Second quarter sales were up 12 percent with higher shipment
    levels of sheet, strip, and plate products, combined with
    improved service center sales, contributing to the sales
    increase.  Shipped tons were 66,600 in 1994 compared to 54,700
    in the 1993 second quarter.  Despite the improved sales volume,
    earnings were impacted by lower selling prices in sheet and strip
    products and a lower-value shipment mix.  Production efficiencies
    and higher selling prices are anticipated to improve earnings in
    the second half.

Results of Operations for the Twenty-six Weeks Ended
June 25, 1994 and June 26, 1993

Operating Results

Year-to-date operating earnings of $14,709 compared to 1993 earnings
of $31,464.  Lower operating results were reported by both business
groups.  The Lukens Steel Group reported significantly lower results
because of production disruptions and maintenance costs caused by
severe weather conditions in the first quarter of 1994, combined with
increased scrap costs and a lower-value shipment mix.  The Washington
Stainless Group experienced lower selling prices in sheet and strip
products and a lower-value shipment mix.

Year-to-date sales were up 3 percent, from $447,987 in 1993 to $463,126
in 1994.  Most of the sales increase was attributable to the
Washington Stainless Group which benefited from increased shipped
tons.

Interest Expense

Interest expense of $8,012 was down 4 percent from 1993 expense of
$8,324.  The decrease was attributable to lower interest rate swap
expense and higher amounts of capitalized interest.

Income Taxes

The effective tax rate was 39.0 percent in 1994 and 38.7 percent in
1993.

Results From Continuing Operations

Lower operating earnings, particularly in the first quarter of 1994,
translated into a 71 percent decrease in earnings from continuing
operations.  Earnings of $4,096 were reported in the first half of
1994 compared to 1993 earnings of $14,194. 

Discontinued Operations

Earnings from discontinued operations of $1,513 were recognized in the
first half of 1993.  In 1994, earnings from discontinued operations
are being charged against the loss provision established in the fourth
quarter of 1993.  For more information on discontinued operations, see
Note 2.

Net Earnings

Net earnings of $4,096 were reported in the 1994 first half.  In 1993,
earnings, before the cumulative effect of accounting changes, were
$15,707.

                           --------- --------- --------  --------

    Lukens Steel Group

    Sales for the first half of 1994 benefited from higher selling
    prices and were 2 percent higher than 1993 sales.  Shipments of
    363,000 tons in 1994 remained essentially unchanged from the
    364,800 tons shipped in 1993.  Despite the improved sales, first
    half earnings declined 60 percent.  The decline resulted from
    several factors including higher scrap costs, which peaked early
    in the second quarter, and a lower-value shipment mix.  Also,
    first quarter production disruptions and maintenance costs were
    experienced due to severe weather conditions.  Although scrap
    costs have recently declined, these costs are expected to remain
    at relatively high levels.  Earnings in 1994 are not expected to
    exceed 1993 earnings before fourth quarter charges.

    Washington Stainless Group

    Year-to-date 1994 sales were up 7 percent.  Sales improvements
    at our service center operations and increased sales volumes in
    sheet, strip, and plate products, were partially offset by lower
    selling prices on these products.  Shipped tons were 124,400 in
    1994 compared to 110,700 in 1993.  Despite the higher shipment
    volume, lower selling prices and a lower-value shipment mix
    contributed to an earnings decline of 26 percent.  Production
    efficiencies and higher selling prices are anticipated to improve
    earnings in the second half.  For the year, earnings are
    anticipated to be in the range of 1993 earnings.



                   PART II - OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1.  Legal Proceedings.

         Lukens has been identified by the United States
         Environmental Protection Agency as a "potentially
         responsible party," under Federal Superfund law, at certain
         waste disposal sites.  The company's exposure to remediation
         costs at these sites is dependent upon several factors
         including changing laws and regulations, the availability
         and application of technology, the allocation of costs among
         all potentially responsible parties, the method of
         remediation selected, and the length of time involved in
         remediation.  Exposure is expected to be limited based on
         the number and financial strength of other potentially
         responsible parties and the volumes of waste which might be
         attributable to Lukens.  Any costs incurred for clean-up of
         these sites will likely be paid out over several years.  In
         the opinion of management, any liability, over amounts
         already accrued, will not have a material adverse effect on
         the company's financial position.

         As of July 31, 1994, 114 of the approximately 350 workers'
         compensation claimants who had alleged hearing loss against
         Lukens Steel Company released their claims and received
         payments.
