INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT
The Benefits Committee
Quanex Corporation
Houston, Texas
Re: Nichols-Homeshield 401(k) Savings Plan
We have audited the accompanying statement of net assets available for benefits
of the Nichols-Homeshield 401(k) Savings Plan (the "Plan") as of December 31,
1994, and the related statement of changes in net assets available for benefits
for the year then ended. These financial statements are the responsibility of
the Plan's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these
financial statements based on our audit.
We conducted our audit in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to
obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free
from material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis,
evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements.
An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant
estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial
statement presentation. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis
for our opinion.
In our opinion, such financial statements present fairly, in all material
respects, the net assets available for benefits of the Plan as of December 31,
1994, and the changes in net assets available for benefits for the year then
ended in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.
Our audit was conducted for the purpose of forming an opinion on the basic
financial statements taken as a whole. The accompanying supplemental
information by fund and supplemental schedules of (1) investments as of
December 31, 1994 and (2) 5% reportable transactions for the year ended
December 31, 1994 are presented for the purpose of additional analysis of the
basic financial statements rather than to present information regarding the net
assets available for benefits and changes in net assets available for benefits
of the individual funds. This information and these schedules are not a
required part of the basic financial statements. The schedules are
supplementary information required by the Department of Labor's Rules and
Regulation for Reporting and Disclosure under the Employee Retirement Income
Security Act of 1974. This supplemental information and these schedules are
the responsibility of the Plan's management. Such supplemental information and
schedules have been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in our audit
of the basic financial statements and, in our opinion, are fairly stated in all
material respects when considered in relation to the basic financial statements
taken as a whole.
3
We were engaged to audit the financial statements of the Plan as of December
31, 1993, and for the year then ended. These financial statements are the
responsibility of the Plan's management.
As permitted by Section 2520.103-8 of the Department of Labor's Rules and
Regulations for Reporting and Disclosure under the Employee Retirement Income
Security Act of 1974, the plan administrator instructed us not to perform, and
we did not perform, any auditing procedures with respect to the information
summarized in Note C, which was certified by Fidelity Management Trust Company,
the trustee of the Plan, except for comparing the information with the related
information included in the financial statements and supplemental schedules.
We have been informed by the plan administrator that the trustee holds the
Plan's investment assets and executes investment transactions. The plan
administrator has obtained certification from the trustee as of and for the
year ended December 31, 1993, that the information provided to the plan
administrator by the trustee is complete and accurate.
Because of the significance of the information that we did not audit, we are
unable to express, and do not express, an opinion on the accompanying 1993
financial statements taken as a whole. The form and content of the information
included in the financial statements, other than that derived from the
information certified by the trustee, have been audited by us in accordance
with generally accepted auditing standards and, in our opinion, are presented
in compliance with the Department of Labor's Rules and Regulations for
Reporting and Disclosure under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of
1974.

QUANEX CORPORATION
NICHOLS-HOMESHIELD 401(k) SAVINGS PLAN
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1994 AND 1993
A. DESCRIPTION OF THE PLAN
The following description of the Nichols-Homeshield 401(k) Savings
Plan (the "Plan") is provided for general information purposes only.
Participants should refer to the Plan document for more complete
information.
(1) General. The Plan was established on October 1, 1987 as a
defined contribution plan under Section 401(k) of the Internal
Revenue Code ("IRC") which covers substantially all salaried
and non-union hourly employees at the Nichols-Homeshield
division of Quanex Corporation (the "Company") and bargaining
unit employees at the Lincolnshire, Illinois plant. On
October 31, 1991, this plan merged with the
Nichols-Homeshield, Inc. and Participating Companies Salaried
Employees Profit Sharing Retirement Plan. Effective January
1, 1992, the name was changed from the Nichols-Homeshield,
Inc. 401(k) Savings Plan to the Nichols-Homeshield 401(k)
Savings Plan when the sponsorship was transferred to the
Company. The Plan is subject to the provisions of the
Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 ("ERISA").
The assets of the Plan are held in trust by Fidelity
Management Trust Company (the "Trustee"). The Benefits
Committee (the "Committee"), appointed by the Company's Board
of Directors, serves as the Plan administrator.
(2) Contributions. Employees are eligible to make contributions
to the Plan after three months of service. Effective July
1992, participants may elect salary deferrals between 1% and
15% of compensation as defined by the Plan agreement The
Company makes contributions on behalf of employees who have at
least one year of service. The Company contribution is based
on company profits and is calculated based on a percentage of
the employee's compensation.
(3) Participant Accounts. Each participant's account is credited
with the participant's contribution, the employer's
contribution, and an allocation of investment income.
Investment income allocations are based upon individual
participant account balances as of the end of the period in
which the income was earned.
(4) Investment Options. Effective April 1, 1992, the Company
appointed the Trustee to manage all funds of the Plan.
Participants may direct allocation of their contributions to
eight investment funds and Quanex stock as follows:
Government Money Market Fund - composed of short-term
government obligations.
Short-Intermediate Government Fund - invested and reinvested
in securities issued by U. S. government.
Balanced Fund - invested and reinvested in common and
preferred stocks and bonds.
Growth and Income Fund - invested and reinvested in equity and
debt securities of foreign and domestic companies.
7
Magellan Fund - invested and reinvested in equity and debt
securities of foreign and domestic companies.
Contrafund - invested and reinvested in equities of foreign
and domestic companies.
Overseas Fund - invested and reinvested in foreign securities.
Common/Commingled Trust - invested and reinvested in
investment contracts issued by insurance companies, banks and
other financial institutions.
Puritan Fund - invested and reinvested in common and preferred
stocks and bonds.
Quanex Corporation Common Stock - invested and reinvested
exclusively in the common stock of Quanex Corporation.
During 1994, the Common/Commingled Trust and the Quanex
Corporation Common Stock were added as investment options. In
addition, the Short-Intermediate Government Fund was replaced
by the Puritan Fund effective July 1, 1994.
(5) Vesting. Participants are immediately vested in their
voluntary contributions and earnings thereon. Vesting in the
employer contribution is based on years of credited service.
A participant is 20% vested for each year of credited service
and fully vested after five years. If a participant
terminates employment prior to becoming fully vested, the
nonvested portion of the employer contributions are
immediately forfeited by the participant and utilized to
reduce future employer contributions.
(6) Payment of Benefits. The Plan is intended for long-term
savings but provides for early withdrawals and loan
arrangements under certain conditions. Upon termination of
service, a participant may elect to receive a cash lump-sum
distribution equal to the amount of vested benefits in his or
her account. For further discussion of benefits payable, see
Note G.
(7) Loans. Loans may be granted to a participant of the Plan at
the Committee's discretion. Any loan authorized by the
Committee shall be subject to a term not to exceed five years.
The Committee may agree to a longer term (up to seven years)
only if the proceeds of the loan are to be used to purchase a
dwelling. The loans bear a reasonable rate of interest
established by the Committee. Interest on the loan is
allocated to the borrower's participant account.
B. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
(1) Accounting Basis. The financial statements of the Plan are
prepared on the accrual basis of accounting in accordance with
generally accepted accounting principles.
(2) Administrative Expenses. Administrative expenses of the Plan
are paid by the Company. Loan set up fees and carrying fees
are paid by the participant.
8
(3) Investment Valuation. The Plan recognizes net appreciation or
depreciation in the fair value of its investments.
Investments are reflected at fair value in the financial
statements. Fair value of mutual fund assets is determined
using a quoted net asset value. Fair value for Quanex
Corporation Common Stock, which is listed in the New York
Stock Exchange, is determined by using the last recorded sales
price
(4) Payment of Benefits. Benefits are recorded when paid.
C. INVESTMENTS AND INFORMATION FURNISHED BY THE TRUSTEE (UNAUDITED)
The following is a summary of the unaudited information included in
the Plan's 1993 financial statements and supplemental schedules that

complete and accurate.
