1.   Basis of Presentation

  The accompanying unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements are
subject to year-end audit and do not purport to be a complete presentation
inasmuch as all note disclosures required under generally accepted accounting
principles are not included.  Reference is made to the Company's Form 10-K for
the year ended December 31, 1993, filed with the Securities and Exchange
Commission on March 24, 1994.

  The results of operations for the three month periods are not necessarily
indicative of those for the full year.

  In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited financial statements
include all adjustments, which consist only of normal recurring adjustments,
necessary to present fairly the financial position and the results of operations
for the periods indicated.

2.   Accounting Change

  Environmental Liabilities

  During 1993, the Financial Accounting Standards Board's Emerging Issues Task
Force (EITF) issued EITF Abstract No. 93-5, "Accounting for Environmental
Liabilities" (EITF 93-5).  The Company adopted the provisions of EITF 93-5 in
its 1993 Consolidated Financial Statements effective January 1, 1993.  
  EITF 93-5 provides that an environmental liability should be evaluated
independently from any potential claim for recovery (a two-event approach) and
that the loss arising from the recognition of an environmental liability should
be reduced only when a claim for recovery is probable of realization.  Current
accounting standards provide a general presumption that disputed claims for
recovery are not probable of realization.  Under practice prior to the issuance
of EITF 93-5, some companies, including the Company, offset reasonably possible
recoveries against probable losses.  As a result of the issuance of EITF 93-5,
this accounting treatment is no longer permitted.
  The cumulative effect as of January 1, 1993 of adopting the provisions of EITF
93-5 was a charge to net earnings for the three months ended March 31, 1993 of
$6,820,000 ($0.20 per share), net of the related income tax effect of
$4,180,000.  

  Inventory Valuation

  During 1993, the Company changed its method of applying the lower of cost or
market rule to certain slow-moving and discontinued waste raw material inventory
which is valued using the LIFO dollar value method.  In prior years, the Company
used the aggregate method in applying the lower of cost or market rule to such
inventories and in 1993 changed to the item-by-item method.
  The Company believes the new method of accounting is preferable because it
provides a better matching of costs and revenue and results in a more
conservative valuation of slow-moving and discontinued waste raw material
inventory.
  The cumulative effect as of January 1, 1993 of this change in accounting is a
charge to net earnings for the three months ended March 31, 1993 of $2,190,000
($0.07 per share), net of the related income tax effect of $1,342,000.

3.   Earnings Per Common Share

  Earnings per common share is based on the weighted average number of common

5.  Commitments and Contingencies 

  The Company's operations are subject to extensive and changing federal
and state environmental regulations governing air emissions, wastewater
discharges and solid and hazardous waste management activities.  The Company's
policy is to accrue environmental and cleanup-related costs of a non-capital
nature when it is both probable that a liability has been incurred and the
amount can reasonably estimated.  While it is often difficult to reasonably
quantify future environmental-related expenditures, the Company currently
estimates its non-capital expenditures related to environmental matters will
range between $13,000,000 and $25,000,000.  Such expenditures are expected to
occur over a significant number of future years.  In connection with these
expenditures, the Company has accrued $15,500,000 at March 31, 1994,
representing management's best estimate of probable non-capital environmental
expenditures.  In addition, capital expenditures aggregating approximately
$10,000,000 to $15,000,000 may be required over the next several years related
to currently existing environmental matters. 
  
6.   Investments in unconsolidated partially-owned companies

  In March 1993, the Company sold its ownership interest in Wellstar Holding
B.V. for a total consideration of $33,000,000.  The transaction resulted in a
net gain, before applicable income taxes, of approximately $12,386,000.  The
sale of Wellstar increased first quarter 1993 net earnings by approximately
$7,300,000, or $0.22 per share.

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


Accounting Changes

  During 1993, the Company adopted the provisions of the Financial Accounting
Standards Board's Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF) Abstract No. 93-5.  EITF
93-5 provides that an environmental liability should be evaluated independently
from any potential claim for recovery and that the loss arising from the
recognition of an environmental liability should be reduced only when a claim
for recovery is probable of realization.  Current accounting standards provide
a general presumption that disputed claims for recovery are not probable of
realization.  Under practice prior to the issuance of EITF 93-5, some companies,
including the Company, offset reasonably possible recoveries against probable
losses.  As a result of the issuance of EITF 93-5, this accounting treatment is
no longer permitted.  

  The Company is obligated to remediate environmental problems which existed at
some of its manufacturing facilities prior to their acquisition by the Company.
The Company has escrow funds and indemnification agreements with the prior
owners of these facilities, which may result in reimbursement of a significant
portion of the environmental liabilities.  However, as discussed above, the new
accounting standards generally permit companies to record only uncontested
claims for reimbursement of environmental liabilities.  As of January 1, 1993,
the change in accounting for environmental liabilities resulted in an after-tax
cumulative effect charge of $6.8 million ($0.20 per share), net of the related
income tax effect of $4.2 million. See Note 2 to the Condensed Consolidated
Financial Statements.

  During 1993, the Company changed its method of applying the lower of cost or
market rule to certain slow-moving and discontinued waste raw material inventory
which is valued using the last in-first out (LIFO) dollar value method.  In
prior years, the Company used the aggregate method in applying the lower of cost
or market rule to such inventories and in 1993 changed to the item-by-item
method.  The Company believes the new method of accounting is preferable because
it provides a better matching of costs and revenue and results in a more
conservative valuation of the slow-moving and discontinued waste raw material
inventory.  As of January 1, 1993, the change in accounting for certain slow-
moving and discontinued inventory resulted in an after-tax cumulative effect
charge of $2.2 million ($0.07 per share), net of income tax effect of $1.3
million.  See Note 2 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.


Three months ended March 31, 1994 compared to the three months ended
March 31, 1993

  Net sales for the three months ended March 31, 1994 were $222.6 million
compared to $208.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 1993.  Sales at
the Company's domestic Fibers Division increased as a result of higher sales
volumes which more than offset lower fiber selling prices.  At Wellman
International Limited (WIL), Wellman's Irish subsidiary, sales in U.S. dollars
increased due to an increase in sales volumes which was slightly offset by the
unfavorable impact of the decrease in value of the Irish punt against the U.S.
dollar.  Sales at the Manufactured Products Group(MPG) increased in the first
quarter of 1994 compared to the first quarter of 1993 due to increased direct
wool sales activities at the Wool Division and increased sales volumes at the
Engineering Resins Division which was slightly offset by lower sales at
Creative Forming, Inc. (CFI).

                                 WELLMAN, INC.
                   MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
          FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (continued)


  Gross profit for the three months ended March 31, 1994 was $43.9 million, or
approximately 19.7% of sales, compared to $49.6 million, or approximately 23.8%
of sales for the three months ended March 31, 1993.  Gross profit at the
Company's fiber businesses decreased due to lower fiber selling prices, which
more than offset higher sales volumes and lower unit costs.  Lower unit costs
were the result of decreased spending and lower raw material purchase costs at
the Company's waste-based fiber businesses.  Gross profit at the MPG decreased
due primarily to lower gross profit at CFI which more than offset higher gross
profit at the Wool Division.

  Selling, general and administrative expenses were $20.7 million, or
approximately 9.3% of sales for the three months ended March 31, 1994, compared
to $20.1 million, or approximately 9.7% of sales for the three months ended
March 31, 1993.

  As a result of the foregoing, operating income was $23.2 million for the three
months ended March 31, 1994 compared to $29.5 million for the same period of
1993.

  Net interest expense for the three months ended March 31, 1994 was $3.7
million compared to $4.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 1993.  The
decline was primarily the result of the decrease in the Company's weighted
average interest rate on outstanding borrowings and to a lesser extent a
decrease in outstanding borrowings.

  In the first quarter of 1993, the Company sold its ownership interest in
Wellstar for $33.0 million, resulting in a pre-tax gain of $12.4 million.
The sale increased first quarter 1993 net earnings by $7.3 million, or
approximately $.22 per share. 

  As a result of the foregoing, net earnings in the first quarter of 1994 were
$11.3 million, or $.34 per share, compared to $12.8 million, or $.39 per share,
for the first quarter of 1993.  As discussed above, net earnings for the three
months ended March 31, 1993 were adversely affected by after-tax charges of $9.0
million due to cumulative effect of changes in accounting principles.  

Outlook

  In the first quarter of 1994, demand for Wellman's domestic polyester fibers
remained strong, while sales prices, which declined significantly during 1993,
began to stabilize.  Certain favorable market developments, including modest
declines in polyester fiber imports and upward pressure on chemical feedstocks,
also began to emerge.  As a result, Wellman has begun to implement price
increases on certain domestic polyester staple products during the second
quarter of 1994.  Although such price increases, if maintained, may help recover
profits lost when selling prices declined last year, the Company believes
chemical feedstock costs may also increase in the second half of 1994.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

  The Company generated cash from operations of $31.1 million for the three
months ended March 31, 1994 compared to $13.7 million for the three months
ended March 31, 1993.  The increase in cash from operations was primarily the
result of a reduction of inventories which was slightly offset by increases in
other working capital requirements.

                                WELLMAN, INC.
                   MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
          FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (continued)


  Net cash used in investing activities amounted to $15.8 million in the first
three months of 1994, compared to net cash provided by investing activities of
$20.0 million in the first three months of 1993.  Investing activities in 1993
included $33.0 million of proceeds from the sale of Wellstar.  Capital spending
amounted to $17.2 million in 1994 compared to $15.1 million in 1993.

  Net cash used in financing activities amounted to $12.3 million for the first
three months of 1994 compared to $20.8 million for the first three months of
1993.  A portion of the proceeds from the sale of Wellstar was used to repay
debt during the 1993 period.

  The Company's financing arrangements contain normal financial and restrictive
covenants, including restrictions on the payment of dividends and requirements
with respect to working capital, net worth, and debt to capitalization.

  The Company's capital investment program includes approximately $90.0 million
in planned capital expenditures in 1994.  The exact amount and timing of the
capital spending is difficult to predict, however, as certain projects may
extend into 1995 or beyond depending upon equipment delivery and construction
schedules.  Wellman completed the expansions of polyester yarn production and
PET sheet extrusion capacity and the start-up of a new solid-stating unit to
produce PET bottle resin in the first quarter of 1994.  The 1994 capital plan
includes expansion of monomer and PET resin production capacity and continued
equipment upgrades at the Company's domestic fiber operations. 

 The Company believes that the financial resources available to it, including
approximately $66.0 million available at March 31, 1994 under its $176.8 million
bank credit facility, approximately $10.9 million of restricted cash resulting
from the issuance of economic development revenue bonds (included in "Other
assets, net" in the Company's balance sheet and earmarked to recycling-related
capital expenditures) and internally generated funds, will be sufficient to meet
its foreseeable working capital, capital expenditure and dividend payment
requirements.
