The significant increase in sales for both the six month and three month
periods compared was due to substantial increases in tons shipped of
merchant bar products and fabricated products (bar joists and rebar)
together with improved selling prices for bar products and billets,
eventhough billet tons shipped and fabricated product selling prices
declined.  The increased bar product shipments were due to improved market
conditions, while merchant bar selling prices improved as a result of
higher scrap costs which prompted industry-wide price increases. 
Successful job bidding resulted in increased fabricated product shipments,
while competition within the construction industry caused the decline in
selling prices.  Billet selling prices increased primarily due to improved
domestic demand and higher scrap prices which normally trigger changes in
billet pricing.  The decrease in billet tons shipped resulted mainly from a
decline in the more competitive export business caused by selling prices
not keeping pace with rising production costs; however, during both periods
compared, domestic shipments showed significant improvements over last
year's tonnage.  Cost of  sales increased for both the six month and three
month periods compared primarily due to the increases in both tons shipped
of merchant bar and fabricated products and the cost of scrap steel, our
main raw material, in spite of the reduction in billet tons shipped. 
Inflation in general was not significant.  Gross profit as a percentage of
sales increased by approximately .8% for the six months compared due mainly
to the higher selling prices for merchant bar products and billets and the
increased production levels for raw steel, merchant bar and fabricated
products which reduced unit costs for fixed expenses, which more than
offset the higher scrap costs and lower selling prices for fabricated
products.  Gross profit as a percentage of sales declined by approximately
.3% for the three months compared primarily as a result of higher scrap
costs and lower fabricated product prices, in spite of improved merchant
bar and billet selling prices and the increased production levels.  The
increase in gross profit margins at the higher shipment levels was the
reason for the increase in both gross profit and net earnings for the six
months compared.  For the three months compared, both the gross profit and
net earnings improved as a result of the significant increase in volume,
eventhough margins were lower.  Administrative expenses increased in both
periods compared mainly as a result of increased executive and other
compensation, based on various incentive arrangements, together with higher
insurance expenses and the recognition of post-retirement benefits. 
Interest expense increased in both periods compared due to higher interest
rates, in spite of lower average borrowings and increased capitalized
interest and interest income.  Profit-sharing expense, computed as a
percentage of pretax income, increased in both periods compared as a result
of the improvements in earnings.  For both periods compared, the effective
income tax rate increased in 1994, resulting from lower tax-exempt
investment income.  The 1994 six month period reflects the adoption of an
accounting principles change in reporting for income taxes, resulting in
the cumulative effect of $3,093,940 of increased income through a deferred
tax benefit.

Working capital decreased $2,701,879 during the period to $32,386,826
mainly as a result of capital expenditures, dividends and current
maturities of long-term debt amounting to $4,560,227, $1,275,686 and
$3,107,750, respectively, which exceeded working capital provided from
operations.  Borrowings against the Registrant's $37,500,000 lines of
credit were $6,500,000 leaving a balance of $31,000,000 for future use.  As
a condition of our loan agreements, the real estate and equipment at the
Roanoke plant and the capital stock of Socar, Inc. have been pledged as
security for the loans.  In addition, the terms do not allow consolidated
current assets or the assets of Socar, Inc. to be pledged.  However,
additional capital resources are available to the Company as the secured
creditors are over-collateralized and the Company's lenders and other
financial institutions have expressed confidence and their willingness to
provide additional long-term financing.

At April 30, 1994, there were commitments for the purchase of plant and
equipment amounting to $4,871,503.  Funding for these expenditures will
come from internally generated funds or the use of the credit lines
mentioned above.

The percentage of long-term debt to total capital decreased from 28.8% to
24.9% during the first half of the year, due to current maturities reducing
long-term debt by $3,107,750, while stockholders' equity increased as net
earnings of $5,567,163 exceeded dividends of $1,275,686.

INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS' REPORT


Board of Directors
     Roanoke Electric Steel Corporation:

We have reviewed the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of Roanoke
Electric Steel Corporation and subsidiaries as of April 30, 1994, and the
related consolidated statements of earnings and cash flows for the
three-month and six-month periods ended April 30, 1994 and 1993.  These
financial statements are the responsibility of the Corporation's
management.

We conducted our review in accordance with standards established by the
American Institute of Certified Public Accountants.  A review of interim
financial information consists principally of applying analytical
procedures to financial data and of making inquires of persons responsible
for financial and accounting matters.  It is substantially less in scope
than an audit conducted in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards, the objective of which is the expression of an opinion regarding
the financial statements taken as a whole.  Accordingly, we do not express
such an opinion.

Based on our review, we are not aware of any material modifications that
should be made to such consolidated financial statements for them to be in
conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

We have previously audited, in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards, the consolidated balance sheet of Roanoke Electric Steel
Corporation and subsidiaries as of October 31, 1993, and the related
consolidated statements of earnings, stockholders' equity, and cash flows
for the year then ended (not presented herein); and in our report dated
November 19, 1993, we expressed an unqualified opinion on those
consolidated financial statements.  In our opinion, the information set
forth in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet as  of October 31, 1993
is fairly stated, in all material respects, in relation to the consolidated 
balance sheet from which it has been derived.
