                                   FORM 10-Q

                    For The Quarter Ended November 30, 1994


                         PART I.  FINANCIAL INFORMATION

 ITEM 2.  MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
          RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

 Material Sciences Corporation ("MSC" or "Company") operates in one business
 segment comprised of the following four product groups: laminates and
 composites, metallizing and coating, coil coating, and electrogalvanizing.

 RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

 NET SALES

 Net sales in the third quarter of fiscal 1995 increased 17.6% over the third
 quarter of fiscal 1994.  Sales of laminates and composites grew 19.2%;
 metallizing and coating 18.4%; coil coating 24.2%; and electrogalvanizing 3.1%.
 For the first nine months of fiscal 1995, net sales grew by 27.2% compared to
 the same period in the prior fiscal year.  Sales of laminates and composites
 grew 23.4%; metallizing and coating 29.6%; coil coating 41.3% and
 electrogalvanizing 6.8%.  Included in the above are coil coating sales from the
 June 30, 1993 acquisition of the coil coating facility from Armco Steel
 Company, L.P. in Middletown, Ohio.  The fourth quarter of fiscal 1995 will be
 affected by a 52-day shutdown of MSC's coil coating operation in Middletown,
 Ohio for upgrading and expansion of that facility.


 LAMINATES AND COMPOSITES

 Laminates and composites sales during the third quarter grew by 19.2% over the
 same period of fiscal 1994.  This increase was primarily the result of higher
 sales of Polycore Composites(R) and Specular+(R), due, in part, to new product
 applications and market expansion activities.  For the nine month period ended
 November 30, 1994, laminates and composites sales were 23.4% higher than the
 same period last fiscal year primarily due to higher sales of Polycore
 Composites, Specular+, and disk brake noise damper material.

 METALLIZING AND COATING

 Sales of metallizing and coating products increased 18.4% in the third quarter
 of fiscal 1995 as compared to the same period in fiscal 1994.  The increase is
 due primarily to higher solar control window and safety film sales in both the
 U.S. and export markets.  For the first nine months of fiscal 1995, sales of
 metallizing and coating products increased 29.6%.  This was fueled by increased
 demand for solar control window film and safety film as well as by productivity
 and quality improvements.



                                      -8-

 COIL COATING

 Coil coating sales were up 24.2% over the previous year's third quarter.
 Growth in sales was wide-spread, with the biggest sales advances coming from
 the heating and air conditioning, truck trailer, swimming pool, and fuel tank
 markets.  On a year-to-date basis, coil coating sales were 41.3% higher than
 the first nine months of the prior fiscal year.  Sales increases across all
 major markets were led by strong growth in the fuel tank, heating and air
 conditioning, truck trailer, and lighting markets.  A portion of this sales
 increase is attributable to MSC's June, 1993 acquisition of the Middletown coil
 coating facility.  Comparable period-to-period sales in the product group were
 up over 20% from the first nine months of the prior fiscal year.

 ELECTROGALVANIZING

 MSC participates in the electrogalvanizing market through Walbridge Coatings
 (the "Partnership"), a partnership among subsidiaries of MSC, Bethlehem Steel
 Corporation ("Bethlehem") and Inland Steel Industries, Inc. ("Inland").  MSC's
 net sales for electrogalvanizing consist of various fees charged to the
 Partnership for operating the facility.  Bethlehem and Inland are primarily
 responsible for the marketing activities of the Partnership.

 In the third quarter of fiscal 1995, MSC's electrogalvanizing sales increased
 by 3.1% while volume decreased by 3.0%.  For the first nine months of fiscal
 1995, sales and volume increased by 6.8% and 1.9%, respectively from the same
 time frame in the prior fiscal year.  To meet the demand for high quality
 electrogalvanized steel, the Walbridge operation installed an additional
 electroplating cell during a seven-day shutdown in October, raising Walbridge's
 capacity by about 5%.  Although the shutdown affected third quarter shipments,
 revenues were higher due to the continuing shift to more value-added materials
 combining both electrogalvanizing and coil coating technology.

 On June 30, 1992, Inland assigned 50% of its interests in, and responsibilities
 to, the Partnership to Bethlehem.  The transfer increased the Partnership's
 reliance upon Bethlehem for production orders, payment of fees, and financing
 obligations.  During the third quarter of fiscal 1994, Inland decided to reduce
 its line time requirements to no greater than five percent going forward.
 During the first quarter of fiscal 1995, Inland increased its utilization to
 its full contractual 25% of available line time.  Since then, Inland has
 utilized only 17% of available line time rather than its full 25%.  Bethlehem
 and other customers utilized this additional available line time.  Inland is
 reviewing its future involvement in the Partnership and therefore, there is no
 assurance that Inland will continue to utilize its full 25% of available line
 time on a long-term basis.  The Company believes that any short-term disruption
 in volume that might be caused by a reduction in Inland's line time
 requirements could be replaced by additional volume from Bethlehem and other
 customers.

 GROSS PROFIT

 MSC's gross profit margin was 29.5% in the third quarter of fiscal 1995 versus
 23.2% in the previous year.  For the first nine months of fiscal 1995, MSC's
 gross profit margin was 27.1% compared to 23.5% last year.  This improvement
 was due to increasing higher value-added product mix, higher line utilization,
 and improving manufacturing efficiencies.

 SELLING, GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES

 Selling, general and administrative (SG&A) expenses increased to 16.5% of sales
 in the third quarter of fiscal 1995 from 14.3% of sales in the same period last
 fiscal year.  For the first nine months of fiscal 1995, SG&A expenses increased
 to 15.3% of sales from 14.2% of sales for the same period in the prior fiscal
 year.  This increase is primarily due to increased expenditures for strategic
 purposes such as high-growth product marketing, research and development, and
 international marketing efforts, as well as some non-recurring increases in
 other administrative expenses.

 TOTAL OTHER (INCOME) EXPENSE, NET AND INCOME TAXES

 Total other (income) expense, net was income of $.2 million in the third
 quarters of both fiscal 1995 and 1994 and income of $.8 million for the first
 nine months of fiscal 1995 versus income of $.7 million in the prior fiscal
 year.  MSC's effective income tax rate is expected to be approximately 38.5%
 for fiscal 1995 versus 38.0% in fiscal 1994.

 LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

 During the third quarter of fiscal 1995, MSC's operating activities generated
 $9.1 million of cash versus $4.4 million of cash during the third quarter last
 year. For the first nine months of fiscal 1995, operating activities generated
 $14.0 million of cash versus $10.3 million last fiscal year.  The increase in
 cash generation is due mainly from increased net income.

 MSC's capital expenditures during the third quarter and first nine months of
 fiscal 1995 were $3.8 million and $6.9 million greater than those of the same
 periods of fiscal 1994.  The cash flow from investment in partnership, net of
 distributions, was a negative $.7 million in the third quarter of fiscal 1995
 and a negative $1.0 million for the first nine months of fiscal 1995, versus a
 negative $.4 million for both the third quarter and first nine months of the
 prior fiscal year.  Affecting the prior fiscal year's cash flows was the June
 30, 1993 purchase of the Middletown coil coating facility.

 MSC's long-term debt, less current portion decreased by $1.1 million to $7.7
 million during the first nine months of fiscal 1995 due to normally scheduled
 debt amortization.  The Company maintains a $25 million unsecured line of
 credit which expires August 31, 1997.  There was no outstanding balance under
 this line of credit at November 30, 1994 or at February 28, 1994.  However, the
 Company has executed letters of credit totalling $4.8 million against this line
 leaving an available line of credit of $20.2 million at November 30, 1994.  The
 Company believes that its cash flow from operations together with available
 financing and cash on hand will be sufficient to fund its working capital
 needs, capital expenditure program, and debt amortization.

 The Company has a capital lease obligation, which was $8.7 million as of
 November 30, 1994, relating to a facility which the Company subleases to the
 Partnership.  In addition, throughout the term of the Partnership, the Company
 is contingently responsible for 50% of the Partnership's financing
 requirements, including the Company's share (approximately $6.0 million) of
 $12.0 million in Partnership financing loans from third parties at
 November 30, 1994.

 MSC continues to participate in the implementation of settlements with the
 government for clean-up of various Superfund sites.  For additional
 information, refer to MSC'S Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended February 28,
 1994.
