Re:      Quanex Corporation Employee Savings Plan

We have audited the accompanying statement of net assets available for benefits
of the Quanex Corporation Employee Savings Plan (the "Plan") as of December 31,
1994 and 1993, and the related statements of changes in net assets available
for benefits for the years 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 audits.

We conducted our audits 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 misstatements.  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 audits provide 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 1993, and the changes in net assets available for benefits for the
years then ended in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

Our audits were 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.

See notes to financial statements. 5 QUANEX CORPORATION EMPLOYEE SAVINGS PLAN NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1994 AND 1993 A. THE PLAN The following brief description of the Quanex Corporation Employee Savings Plan (the "Plan") is provided for general information purposes only. Participants should refer to the Plan agreement for more complete information. (1) General. The Plan became effective April 1, 1986 and is sponsored by Quanex Corporation (the "Company"). The Plan is a defined contribution plan which is subject to the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 ("ERISA"). The Plan is a voluntary savings plan in which employees of the Company and its subsidiaries, excluding its Nichols-Homeshield divisions, its Nitro Steel Division and those Quanex employees who are covered by a collective bargaining agreement, are eligible to participate after completing three months of active service. The assets of the Plan are held in trust by Fidelity Management Trust Company (the "Trustee"). The Benefits Committee (the "Committee"), appointed by the Board of Directors of the Company, serves as the Plan administrator. (2) Contributions. Participants may elect to contribute up to 15% of their pre-tax annual compensation or up to 15% of their after-tax annual compensation limited to 15% of considered compensation as defined by the Plan agreement. The Company matches 50% of the employee's contribution up to, but not in excess of, 2.5% of the employee's annual compensation. (3) Participants Accounts. Each participant's account is credited with the participant's contribution, the Company's matching contribution, and an allocation of investment income, which is based on the participant's account balance as of the end of the period in which the income is earned. (4) Investment Options. During 1993 and 1994, the Plan had the following investment funds, all managed by the Trustee, as follows: Government Money Market Fund--composed of short-term government obligations. Short-Intermediate Government Fund--invested and reinvested in securities issued by the U.S. government. Puritan Fund--invested and reinvested in common and preferred stock and bonds. Magellan Fund--invested and reinvested in equity and debt securities of foreign and domestic companies. Growth and Income Fund--invested and reinvested in equity and debt securities of foreign and domestic companies. Overseas Fund--invested and reinvested in foreign securities. Quanex Corporation Common Stock--invested and reinvested exclusively in the common stock of Quanex Corporation. Common/Commingled Trust--invested and reinvested in investment contracts issued by insurance companies, banks and other financial institutions. Balanced Fund--invested and reinvested in common and preferred stocks and bonds. Contrafund--invested and reinvested in equities of foreign and preferred stock. 6 Additionally, the Plan has investments in a series of guaranteed investment contracts. Refer to Note C for further discussion. Effective July 1, 1994, the Short-Intermediate Government Fund was eliminated and the Common/Commingled Trust, the Balanced Fund and the Contrafund were added. (1) Vesting. Participants are immediately vested in their voluntary contributions and the related earnings. Vesting in employer's matching contributions for employees is 0% for less than one year of service graduating to 100% for five or more years. Upon death, retirement or total permanent disability, the participant or beneficiary becomes immediately 100% vested in the employer's contribution. In the event of termination, nonvested portions of employer's contributions are immediately forfeited by participants and utilized to reduce future employer matching contributions. (2) Payment of Benefits. Upon termination of service, the participant may elect to receive a lump-sum amount equal to the amount of vested benefits in his or her account. See further discussion of benefits payable in Note H. 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 standards. (2) 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 funds assets is determined using a quoted net asset value. Fair value for Quanex Corporation common stock, which is listed on the New York Stock Exchange, is determined using the last recorded sales price. (3) Administrative Expenses. The Company pays all administrative expenses. (4) Payment of Benefits. Benefits are recorded when paid. C. DEPOSITS WITH INSURANCE COMPANY On December 1, 1988, the Plan entered into a series of guaranteed investment contracts with Metropolitan Life Insurance Company ("Metropolitan"). The contracts provide a guaranteed rate of return on principal invested which is credited to the Plan for the length of the contracts. The contracts are reduced for Plan withdrawals. The contract is included in the financial statements at the December 31, 1994 and 1993 contract values as reported to the Plan by Metropolitan. A portion of these contracts matured on January 1, 1994. The remainder of these contracts matured on January 1, 1995. The contracts provided an interest rate of 8.3% per annum. 7 D. TRANSFER OF BELLVILLE BALANCES In April 1993, the Company sold its Bellville Tube Division. Effective November 15, 1993, Bellville Tube employees' plan balances were transferred from the Plan into the Bellville Tube Corporation's 401(k) Plan, which was implemented by the purchasing company. At the time of transfer, participants became fully vested in the employer's contributions. E. PLAN TERMINATION Although it has not expressed any intent to do so, the Company has the right under the Plan to terminate the Plan subject to the provisions of ERISA. In the event of termination of the Plan, the assets held by the Trustee under the Plan will be valued and fully vested, and each participant will be entitled to distributions respecting his or her account. F. FEDERAL INCOME TAX STATUS The Plan is subject to specific rules and regulations related to employee benefit plans under the Department of Labor and the Internal Revenue Service ("IRS"). The Plan is a qualified Trust under Sections 401(a) and 401(k) of the Internal Revenue Code (the "Code") and, as a result, is exempt from taxation under Sections 501(a) of the Code. The Plan received a favorable determination letter from the IRS dated February 25, 1991. The Company believes that the Plan is currently designed and being operated in compliance with the applicable requirements of the Code. Therefore, it believes the Plan was qualified and the related trust was tax-exempt as of the financial statement dates. G.
