Board of Directors
   Roanoke Electric Steel Corporation:

We have reviewed the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of Roanoke
Electric Steel Corporation and subsidiaries as of January 31, 1995, and the
related consolidated statements of earnings and cash flows for the
three-month periods ended January 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 inquiries 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 October 31, 1994 is fairly
stated, in all material respects, in relation to the consolidated balance
sheet from which it has been derived.

                              PART I - ITEM 2

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

The following is management's discussion and analysis of certain significant
factors which have affected the Company's earnings during the periods
included in the accompanying consolidated statements of earnings.

the consolidated statements of earnings is shown below:

Sales for the periods compared increased significantly as a result of
increases in selling prices and tons shipped for both merchant bar products
and fabricated products (bar joists and rebar).  Sales were negatively
affected by lower billet tons shipped, eventhough selling prices for billets
were improved.  The increased bar product shipments were due to the
continued improvement in market conditions, while merchant bar selling
prices improved as a result of higher scrap costs and increased demand, both
prompting industry-wide price increases.  Shipments of fabricated products
increased substantially, fueled both by increased activity and an easing of
competition within the construction industry, while fabricated product
selling prices increased mainly as a result of higher raw material costs and
less competitive conditions.  Billet selling prices increased primarily due
to rising scrap prices which normally trigger changes in billet pricing. 
The decrease in billet tons shipped resulted from the lack of available
billets as demand and market conditions remained strong.  Cost of sales
increased as a result of 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 and the cost savings
realized with the start-up of our  modern auto shredding operation.  Gross
profit as a percentage of sales increased by approximately 7.9% primarily
as a 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 significant improvements in gross profit and
net earnings from operations for the period.  Administrative expenses
increased mainly as a result of increased executive and other compensation,
based on various incentive arrangements.  Interest expense increased as
higher interest rates and reduced capitalized interest and interest income
more than offset lower average borrowings.  Profit sharing expense, computed
as a percentage of pretax income, increased due to the improvement in
earnings.  The effective income tax rate is relatively constant for both
periods compared.  The 1994 quarter 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 $139,329 during the period to $34,643,749 mainly
as a result of working capital provided from operations exceeding capital
expenditures, dividends and current maturities of long-term debt amounting
to $3,130,652, $641,869 and $1,875,001, respectively.  The current ratio of
1.9 and the quick ratio of 1.0 both indicate very sound liquidity and a
healthy financial condition.  Borrowings against the Registrant's
$37,500,000 lines of credit were $12,000,000 leaving a balance of
$25,500,000 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 January 31, 1995, there were commitments for the purchase of plant and
equipment amounting to $13,351,299.  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.  Start-up is anticipated in 1996.

The percentage of long-term debt to total capital decreased from 22.2% to
20.0% during the quarter, due to current maturities reducing long-term debt
by $1,875,001, while stockholders' equity increased as net earnings of
$3,825,716 exceeded dividends of $641,869. 



                        PART II - OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS.

        To the best of Registrant's information and belief no new legal

        wholly-owned subsidiaries during the period covered by this report  
        and there were no material developments in or terminations of the 
        legal proceedings reported earlier by Registrant on Form 10-K for
