ITEM 4    PURPOSE OF TRANSACTION

     This Amendment No. 2 to Schedule 13D is being filed by fifteen individuals
and three trusts who might have been deemed to comprise a group within the
meaning of Section 13(d)(3) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.  The fifteen
individuals are current or former officers of Bliss & Laughlin Industries Inc.
("BLI") or its wholly owned subsidiary, Bliss & Laughlin Steel Company ("BLS")
and the three trusts are trusts established for the benefit of certain of the
aforementioned individuals and their families.  The parties making this filing
are collectively referred to herein as the "Management Stockholders".

     The Management Stockholders filed a Schedule 13D on September 27, 1995 in
connection with their entering into a Stock Option Agreement dated as of
September 16, 1995 (the "First Option Agreement") with B & L Acquisition
Corporation ("BRW's Acquisition Subsidiary") and BRW Steel Corporation ("BRW"),
which provided, among other things, that the Management Stockholders granted an
option to BRW's Acquisition Subsidiary to purchase an aggregate of 774,059 of
their shares of common stock of BLI (representing 19.5% of BLI's issued and
outstanding shares of common stock) for a purchase price of $7.75 per share.

     The Management Stockholders filed Amendment No. 1 to Schedule 13D on
November 3, 1995 ("Amendment No. 1 to Schedule 13D") in connection with their
entering into (a) Amendment No. 1 to Stock Option Agreement dated as of 
October 4, 1995 wherein they agreed to amend the First Option Agreement, (b) 
an Amended Stock Option Agreement dated as of October 4, 1995 (the "Amended 
Stock Option Agreement"), which, among other things,raised the option price to 
$9.50 per share or any higher price paid by BRW's Acquisition Subsidiary or 
BRW in certain other transactions for a share of BLI common stock (the "Merger
Consideration"), (c) Amendment No. 1 dated as of October 18, 1995 to Amended
Stock Option Agreement, and (d) Amendment No. 1 dated as of October 4, 1995 to
Stockholder Escrow Agreement, amending the Stockholder Escrow Agreement dated
as of September 19, 1995.  Copies of the foregoing documents were filed as
Exhibits to Amendment No. 1 to Schedule 13D.

     As of January 31, 1996 (a) the above-described option granted by the 
Management Stockholders expired and (b) the Amended Stock Option Agreement
(as amended by Amendment No. 1 thereto) and the Shareholder Escrow Agreement
(as amended by Amendment No. 1 thereto) terminated.  As a result of such
expiration and termination, the Management Stockholders believe that they no
longer might be deemed to comprise a group within the meaning of Section
13(d)(3) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.
