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 July 31, 1995, and the
related consolidated statements of earnings and cash flows for the
three-month and nine-month periods ended July 31, 1995 and 1994.  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, 1994, 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 18, 1994, 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, 1994 is fairly
stated, in all material respects, in relation to the consolidated balance
sheet from which it has been derived.

</TABLE>

Sales increased significantly for both the nine month and three month periods
compared as a result of substantial increases in tons shipped of fabricated 
products (bar joists and rebar) and billets, together with improved selling 
prices for merchant bar products, fabricated products and billets.  Sales for 
the three months were also favorably affected by a slight increase in bar 
product tons shipped, while the nine month bar shipments declined slightly.  
Shipments of fabricated products increased substantially, due both to 
increased activity and reduced competition within the commercial construction 
industry, while fabricated product selling prices increased mainly as a result 
of higher raw material costs and the less competitive conditions.  Improved 
market conditions and increased demand resulted in the higher level of billet 
shipments, while the improvement in billet selling prices was primarily due 
to higher scrap prices which normally trigger changes in billet pricing.  
Merchant bar selling prices improved as a result of higher scrap costs and 
increased demand, both prompting industry-wide price increases.  During the 
nine months, excess inventories at steel service centers caused a temporary
reduction in tons shipped of bar products, eventhough market conditions and
backlogs remained strong, while shipments for the quarter showed a slight
increase.  Cost of sales increased for the nine months compared as a result
of the increase in tons shipped of billets and fabricated products, together
with an increase in both the cost of scrap steel, our main raw material, and
in other raw material costs, in spite of the reduction in bar product tons
shipped and the cost savings realized with the start-up of our modern auto
shredding operation.  Cost of sales increased for the three months compared
due primarily to the increased tons shipped of all product classes, and an
increase in both scrap steel and other raw material costs, in spite of the
shredding operation efficiencies mentioned above.  Inflation in general was
not significant.  Gross profit as a percentage of sales increased by
approximately 8.5 % and 8.7 % for the nine months and three months compared,
respectively.  These increases were mainly the result of the higher selling
prices for all product classes and increased production levels for raw
steel, merchant bar and fabricated products which reduced unit costs for
fixed expenses, in spite of higher scrap costs.  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 periods compared. 
Administrative expenses increased in both periods compared primarily due to
increased executive and other compensation, based on various incentive
arrangements.  Interest expense increased in both periods compared due to
increased interest rates, higher average borrowings and reduced 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.  The effective income tax rate is
relatively constant for both periods compared.  The 1994 nine 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 increased $7,078,880 during the period to $41,583,300 mainly
as a result of working capital provided from operations exceeding capital
expenditures, dividends and current maturities of long-term debt amounting
to $7,689,570, $2,094,724 and $3,125,003, respectively.  The current ratio
of 2.1 and the quick ratio of 1.2 both indicate very sound liquidity and a
healthy financial condition.  Borrowings against the Registrant's $39,500,000 
lines of credit were $11,000,000 leaving a balance of $28,500,000 for future 
use.  As a condition of our loan agreements, the real estate and equipment at 
the Roanoke plant 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, the secured creditors are over 
collateralized and additional long-term funding is available to the Company 
through its various lenders, who have expressed their confidence and 
willingness to provide additional financing.

At July 31, 1995, there were commitments for the purchase of plant and
equipment amounting to $11,277,752.  Funding for most of these expenditures
will come from internally generated funds and the use of the credit lines
mentioned above.  A portion of the above commitments includes the upgrade of
an electric arc furnace and the addition of a ladle furnace to the Company's
melt shop operations.  The ladle furnace and upgrade will increase raw steel
production, improve quality, decrease production costs and improve operating
efficiencies.  Completion and start-up is anticipated in January 1996, and
earnings should be favorably impacted.

The percentage of long-term debt to total capital decreased from 22.2 % to
17.3 % during the nine months, due to current maturities reducing long-term
debt by $3,125,003, while stockholders' equity increased as net earnings of
$13,254,129 exceeded dividends of $2,094,724.
