          (A wholly owned subsidiary of Inland Steel Industries, Inc.)

             NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)
================================================================================




NOTE 1/FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Results of operations for any interim period are not necessarily indicative of
results of any other periods or for the year.  The financial statements as of
March 31, 1996 and for the three-month periods ended March 31, 1996 and 1995
are unaudited, but in the opinion of management include all adjustments
necessary for a fair presentation of results for such periods.  These financial
statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and
related notes contained in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended
December 31, 1995.


NOTE 2/RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

The Company has agreed to procedures established by Inland Steel Industries,
Inc. ("Industries") for charging Industries' administrative expenses to the
operating companies owned by it.  Pursuant to these procedures, the Company was
charged $4.5 million and $4.7 million by Industries for the first quarters of
1996 and 1995, respectively, for management, financial and legal services
provided to the Company.

Procedures also have been established to charge interest on all intercompany
loans within the Industries group of companies.  Such loans currently bear
interest at the prime rate.  The Company's net intercompany interest expense
for the first three months of 1996 totaled $3.9 million as compared with $3.3
million for the first quarter of 1995.

The Company sells to and purchases products from other companies within the
Industries group of companies.  Such transactions are made at prevailing market
prices.  These transactions are summarized as follows:

NOTE 3/COMMITMENTS

The total amount of firm commitments of the Company and its subsidiaries to
contractors and suppliers, primarily in connection with additions to property,
plant and equipment, was $72 million at March 31, 1996 compared with $55
million at December 31, 1995.

ITEM 2.



            MANAGEMENT'S NARRATIVE ANALYSIS OF RESULTS OF OPERATIONS




RESULTS OF OPERATIONS - Comparison of First Quarter 1996 to First Quarter 1995


     The Company reported a first quarter 1996 consolidated net loss of $2.1
million compared with a consolidated net income of $21.2 million in the 1995
first quarter.

     The Company's net sales of $615.7 million in the first quarter represented
a 6 percent reduction from the year-ago period.  Although the volume of steel
mill products sold increased 3 percent to 1,325,000 tons, the average selling
price fell 9 percent from the year-ago period reflecting a deterioration in
prices.  Operating profit decreased to $12.6 million from $51.3 million in the
comparable 1995 quarter, due primarily to the lower average selling price.

                          PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 5. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS


     On March 29, 1996, the EPA filed a lawsuit against the Company in the U.S.
District Court for the Northern District of Indiana for alleged violations of
effluent limits contained in its NPDES permit and for the alleged discharge of
pollutants without the authorization of an NPDES permit.  While it is not
possible at this time to predict the amount of the Company's potential
liability, this matter is not expected to materially affect the Company's
financial position.  Results of operations could be materially affected for the
particular reporting periods in which expenses are incurred.
