        The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements
        include the accounts of Steel of West Virginia, Inc. (the Company) and
        its wholly-owned subsidiaries SWVA, Inc. and Marshall Steel, Inc. Such
        condensed financial statements have been prepared in accordance with
        generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial
        information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of
        Regulation S-X.  Accordingly, they do not include all of the
        information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting
        principles for complete financial statements.  In the opinion of
        management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals)
        considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. 
        Operating results for the three-month period ended March 31, 1995 are
        not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the
        year ended December 31, 1995.  For further information, refer to the
        consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto included in
        the Company's annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December
        31, 1994.

        Net income per common share is calculated based on the 7,091,360
        shares of common stock outstanding during the quarters ended March 31,
        1995 and 1994, respectively.

        Annually, at the end of each year, management determines inventory
        levels based on the taking of a physical inventory.  The amount of
        inventories at March 31, 1995, has been determined based upon
        inventory levels indicated by perpetual inventory accounting records. 
        In addition, an actual valuation of inventory under the LIFO method
        can be made only at the end of each year based on the inventory levels
        and costs at that time.  Accordingly, interim LIFO calculations must
        necessarily be based on management's estimates of expected year-end
        inventory levels and costs.  Since these are subject to many forces
        beyond management's control, interim results are subject to the final
        year-end LIFO inventory valuation.

        NOTE C--CREDIT ARRANGEMENTS

        The Company entered into a senior financing agreement on December 30,
        1986, as subsequently amended, that provides for revolving credit
        borrowings and term loans. During 1994, the Company amended its senior
        credit agreement to permit the Company to borrow $6 million in 1994
        and provide for equivalent term borrowing availability in 1995 under a
        new "Capital Expenditure Line" of credit.  The terms of the loan
        amendment also enabled the Company to reduce the interest rates on its
        existing revolving credit line and term loans outstanding from the
        greater of 7% or 3/4% over prime and the greater of 7% or 1% over
        prime, respectively, to the Chemical Bank prime rate or LIBOR plus 1-
        3/4%; reduce the annual revolving credit line commitment fee from 1/2%
        to 1/8% of the unused balance; and extend the term of the revolving
        credit line to January 1, 1998.  In addition, the amendment permits
        the Company to convert up to $7 million of its indebtedness to a fixed
        interest rate.  The senior credit agreement may be terminated by the
        Company or, on or after January 1, 1998 and upon 90 days written
        notice, by the lender.  In the event the Company makes certain
        prepayments prior to October 1, 1995, prepayment fees of 1-3/4% of the
        amount prepaid could result.

        Amounts outstanding under the term loan portion of the senior
        financing agreement are scheduled to be repaid in quarterly principal
        installments totaling as follows:  1995--$4,000,000; 1996--$5,000,000;
        1997--$1,547,050.  The Capital Expenditure Line portion of the loan
        agreement is required to be repaid in 27 quarterly principal
        installments of $215,000, beginning January 1, 1995, with a final
        principal payment of $195,000.  As of March 31, 1995, the revolving
        credit line loan balance was $0, and the unused borrowing availability
        approximated $10,000,000.  In addition, the  unused borrowing
        availability on the Capital Expenditure Line approximated $6,000,000.

        The Company's senior lending agreement contains various restrictive
        covenants, including that the Company must maintain specified levels
        of working capital and net worth (as defined in the agreement).  In
        addition, capital expenditures and dividends are limited to the annual
        amounts set forth in the agreement.  At March 31, 1995, the Company's
        retained earnings available for dividends in 1995 is $4,074,000.  As a
        result of the lending agreement, substantially all of the Company's
        property, plant, and equipment, inventory and accounts receivable are
        subject to a third party's security interests.

        NOTE D--COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES


        The Company is principally self-insured for employees' medical care
        costs and workers' compensation claims up to certain specified dollar
        limits.  Under the medical care program, the Company is insured by a
        private carrier for individual claims in excess of specified dollar
        limits.  The Company also has excess coverage provided by the West
        Virginia Workers' Compensation Fund (a state agency) for certain work
        related injuries.  In connection with the self-insured workers'
        compensation program, the Company has obtained an irrevocable standby
        letter of credit in the amount of $1,000,000 (through July 1995).  A
        liability has been established for those illnesses and injuries
        occurring on or before March 31, 1995, for which an amount of expected
        loss could be reasonably estimated.

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


        Net Sales

        Net sales increased 16.0% in the first quarter of 1995 to $32,900,000
        up $4,538,000 from $28,362,000 for the first quarter of 1994 primarily
        due to an increase in tonnage of products shipped.  Finished tonnage
        sales increased from 43,894 tons in the first quarter 1994 to 44,986
        tons in 1995.  Billet sales increased from 2,319 tons in the first
        quarter 1994 to 10,407 tons in 1995.

        Cost of Sales

        Cost of sales increased from 81.5% of net sales in 1994 to 83.8% of
        net sales or $27,559,000 for the first quarter of 1995.  The increase
        in cost of goods sold was principally due to inefficiencies
        experienced in January and February as a result of the break-in of our
        new equipment that was installed in late 1994.  In addition, cost of
        goods sold were affected by increased low margin billet sales and
        higher mill roll and maintenance expense.

        Selling and Administrative Expenses

        Selling and administrative expenses for the first quarter of 1995 were
        $1,400,000 compared to $1,300,000 in 1994, principally due to
        recognition of $200,000 in cost in 1995 upon discontinuing efforts to
        acquire another steel company.  As a percentage of net sales, selling
        and administrative expense decreased from 4.6% in 1994 to 4.2% in
        1995.

        Interest Expense and Other Expense (Income)

        Interest expense for the first quarter was 1.2% of net sales or
        $386,000 as compared to .7% of net sales or $210,000 for the previous
        year.  Interest expense increased as a result of higher average debt
        outstanding due to the modernization and expansion program.  Other
        expense (income) changed $275,000 from $233,000 of expense in the
        first quarter of 1994 to $42,000 of income in 1995.  This was
        principally due to a reduction in losses from the disposal of fixed
        assets. 

        Net Income

        As a result of the above, net income for the first quarter of 1995
        increased by $67,000 (3.1%) from $2,128,000 in 1994 to $2,195,000 in
        1995.  As a percentage of net sales, net income decreased from 7.5% in
        1994 to 6.7% in 1995.


        Liquidity and Sources of Capital

        The Company's primary ongoing cash needs are for working capital
        requirements, debt service and capital expenditures.  The three
        present sources for the Company's liquidity needs are internally
        generated funds, a capital expenditure term loan line, and the
        Company's revolving credit facility, which the Company anticipates
        will be sufficient for its ongoing cash needs.  Working capital at the
        end of the first quarter was $12,074,000 compared to $10,516,000 at
        the end of the prior fiscal year.  This increase in working capital
        was due primarily to working capital provided by operations.  The
        Company's expenditures for required capital replacements are currently
        anticipated to average approximately $1,000,000 annually over the next
        several years. In addition, from time to time, the Company evaluates
        acquisition opportunities.  Any such acquisition would be subject to
        availability of funds and approval by the Company's Board of
        Directors.
