             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
June 30, 1997 and for the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 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 $8.3 million and $9.0 million by Industries for the first six months 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 six months of 1997 totaled $10.4 million as compared with $7.1 million
for the first six months 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:

NOTE 3/SALE OF ASSETS

iron ore mine to the managing partner, Cleveland Cliffs, resulting in a pretax
gain of $9.0 million.


NOTE 4/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 $30 million at June 30, 1997 compared with $34 million

Item 2.



          Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition
                           and Results of Operations



RESULTS OF OPERATIONS - Comparison of First Six Months of 1997 to First Six
- ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Months of 1996
- --------------

     The Company reported consolidated net income of $34.7 million in the first
six months of 1997 compared with a net loss of $4.8 million in the comparable
1996 period.  Increased operating profit was the principal reason for the
improvement.

     The Company's net sales improved two percent from the year-earlier period
to $1.25 billion due entirely to higher average selling price as volume remained
virtually unchanged.  The increase in net sales combined with improved operating
cost performance and a $9.0 million gain from the sale of the Company's interest
in the Wabush iron ore property were the primary factors contributing to the
$63.4 million year-to-year increase in operating profit.
