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, 1995, and the
related consolidated statements of earnings and cash flows for the
three-month and six-month periods ended April 30, 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.

The significant increase in sales for both the six month and three month
periods compared was due to substantial increases in tons shipped of
fabricated products (bar joists and rebar) and billets together with
improved selling prices for bar products, fabricated products and billets,
in spite of a reduction in bar product tons shipped.  The increased
fabricated product shipments were the result of both increased activity and
an easing of competition within the construction industry, while the
improved selling prices of fabricated products were mainly due to higher raw
material costs and the less competitive conditions.  Higher demand and
improved market conditions resulted in the increased billet tons shipped. 
Scrap price fluctuations normally trigger changes in billet pricing, but
while scrap prices were temporarily lower, billet selling prices remained
higher.  Bar product selling prices improved as a result of increased
demand, prompting industry-wide price increases.  Excess inventories at
steel service centers caused a temporary reduction in tons shipped of bar
products as market conditions and backlogs remained strong.  Cost of sales
increased for both the six month and three month periods compared primarily
due to the increase in tons shipped of billets and fabricated products, in
spite of lower scrap costs, the reduction in tons shipped of merchant bar
products and the cost savings realized with the start-up of our modern auto
shredding operation.  Inflation in general was not significant.  Gross
profit as a percentage of sales increased by approximately 8.3% and 8.7% for
the six months and three months compared, respectively.  These increases
were primarily due to the higher selling prices for all product classes, the
lower scrap costs and increased production levels for raw steel, merchant
bar and fabricated products which reduced unit costs for fixed expenses. 
The increase in gross profit margins at the higher shipment levels for
fabricated products and billets was the reason for the increase in both
gross profit and net earnings for the periods compared.  Administrative
expenses increased in both periods compared mainly as a result of increased
executive and other compensation, based on various incentive arrangements. 
Interest expense increased in both periods compared due to higher interest
rates, increased 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 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 increased $2,187,682 during the period to $36,692,102 mainly
as a result of working capital provided from operations exceeding capital
expenditures, dividends and current maturities of long-term debt amounting
to $6,435,440, $1,367,009 and $2,500,002, 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 $13,000,000 leaving a balance of
$24,500,000 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 April 30, 1995, there were commitments for the purchase of plant and
equipment amounting to $11,267,212.  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
18.7% during the first half of the year, due to current maturities reducing
long-term debt by $2,500,002, while stockholders' equity increased as net
earnings of $8,072,365 exceeded dividends of $1,367,009.



                        PART II - OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS.

        To the best of Registrant's information and belief no new legal
        proceedings were instituted against Registrant or any of its 
        wholly-owned subsidiaries during the period covered by this report and
        there was no material development in or termination of the legal
        proceedings reported earlier by Registrant on Form 10-K for fiscal 
        year ended October 31, 1994 and Form 10-Q for the quarter ended 
        January 31, 1995, as previously filed with the commission.

ITEM 6. EXHIBITS AND REPORTS ON FORM 8-K.

     a. Exhibits.

            (27)      Financial Data Schedule

     b. Reports on Form 8-K. 

            A report on Form 8-K was filed April 18, 1995, during the quarter 
            for which this report is filed, stating that the Registrant had 
            declared a three-for-two common stock split payable May 1, 1995,
            to shareholders of record May 1, 1995, with a distribution date of 
            May 25, 1995.  The stock split, intended to broaden the market for 
            the Company's shares, will result in the issuance of approximately 
            2,677,200 shares, resulting in approximately 8,031,600 shares 
            outstanding after the split.

Items 2, 3, 4 and 5 are omitted because the information required by these
items is not applicable.
