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, 1997 and for the three-month periods ended March 31, 1997 and 1996 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,
1996.
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 $4.2 million and $4.5 million by Industries for the first quarters of
1997 and 1996, 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 1997 totaled $5.6 million as compared with $3.9
million for the first quarter of 1996.
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:

Item 2.
Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition
and Results of Operations
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS - Comparison of First Quarter 1997 to First Quarter 1996
- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Company reported consolidated net income of $13.7 million for the first
quarter of 1997 compared with net loss of $2.1 million in the comparable year-
earlier period. Increased operating profit was the principal reason for the
improvement.
The Company's net sales of $606.6 million in the first quarter of 1997
represented a 1 percent reduction from a year ago. While the volume of steel
mill products shipped decreased 5 percent to 1,260,000 tons, the average selling
price increased 4 percent from the 1996 first quarter. As a result of the higher
average selling price and a lower operating cost per ton, operating profit
increased to $38.3 million from $12.6 million a year earlier.
In March, the Company announced that it reached an agreement to sell its 15
percent interest in the Wabush Iron Ore mine. The transaction is expected to be
completed during the 1997 second quarter.
