             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, 1998 and for the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 1998
and 1997 are unaudited, but in the opinion of management include all
adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring 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, 1997.

NOTE 2/RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

Prior to July 16, 1998, the Company was a wholly owned subsidiary of Inland
Steel Industries, Inc. ("Industries"). The Company had agreed to procedures
established by Industries for charging Industries' administrative expenses to
the operating companies owned by it. Pursuant to these procedures, the Company
was charged $7.1 million and $8.3 million by Industries for the first six months
of 1998 and 1997, respectively, for management, financial and legal services
provided to the Company.

Procedures were established to charge interest on all intercompany loans within
the Industries group of companies. Such loans bore interest at the prime rate.
The Company's net intercompany interest expense for the first six months of 1998
totaled $9.5 million as compared with $10.4 million for the first six months of
1997.

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

Item 2.
                    Management's Narrative and Analysis of
                             Results of Operations

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS - Comparison of First Six Months of 1998 to First Six
Months of 1997

     The Company reported consolidated net income of $18.2 million in the first
six months of 1998 compared with net income of $34.7 million in the comparable
1997 period. Decreased operating profit was the major factor for the decline.

   The Company's net sales of $1,226.0 million in the first six months of 1998
represented a 2 percent reduction from a year ago. While the volume of steel
mill products shipped remained virtually unchanged at 2,639,000 tons, the
average selling price decreased 2 percent from the year-earlier period. As a
result of the lower average selling price per ton, operating profit declined to
$56.0 million from $87.3 million a year earlier.

Item 1.  Legal Proceedings

         By letter dated June 17, 1998 the Company was offered an opportunity to
         show cause why enforcement action should not be taken against the
         Company in connection with alleged violations of the Resource
         Conservation and Recovery Act ("RCRA") arising out of an October 1997
         Inspection. The Company is in the process of attempting to resolve this
         matter with EPA. It is not possible at this time to predict the amount
         of the Company's potential liability or whether such liability could
         affect the Company's financial position.

Item 6.  Exhibits and Reports on Form 8-K

    (a)  Exhibits. The exhibits required to be filed by Item 601 of

         Steel Industries, Inc., the Company and Ispat International N.V. No
         financial statements were filed with that report.

                                   Directors

          (1) Elections of directors of the Corporation need not be by written
ballot, except and to the extent provided in the By-laws of the Corporation.

          (2) To the fullest extent permitted by the General Corporation Law as
it now exists and as it may hereafter be amended, no director of the Corporation
shall be personally liable to the Corporation or its stockholders for monetary
damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director.

                                  ARTICLE VI

               Indemnification of Directors, Officers and Others

          (1) The Corporation shall indemnify any person who was or is a party
or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed
action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or
investigative (other than an action by or in the right of the Corporation) by
reason of the fact that he is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of
the Corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the Corporation as a
director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint
venture, trust or other enterprise, against expenses (including attorneys'
fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably
incurred by him in connection with such action, suit or proceeding if he acted
in good faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to
the best interests of the Corporation, and, with respect to any criminal action
or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe his conduct was unlawful.  The
termination of any action, suit or proceeding by judgment, order, settlement,
conviction, or upon a plea of nolo contendere or its equivalent, shall not, of
itself, create a presumption that the person seeking indemnification did not act
in good faith and in a manner which he reasonably believed to be in or not
opposed to the best interests of the Corporation, and, with respect to any
criminal action or proceeding, had reasonable cause to believe that his conduct
was unlawful.

          (2) The Corporation shall indemnify any person who was or is a party
or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed
action or suit by or in the right of the Corporation to procure a judgment in
its favor by reason of the fact that he is or was a director, officer, employee
or agent of the Corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the
Corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation,
partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise against expenses
(including attorneys' fees) actually and reasonably incurred by him in
connection with the defense or settlement of such action or suit if he acted in
good faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the
best interests of the Corporation and except that no indemnification shall be
made in respect of any claim, issue or matter as to which such person shall have
been adjudged to be liable to the Corporation unless and only to the extent that
the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware or 

                                       2
<PAGE>
 
the court in which such action or suit was brought shall determine upon
application that, despite the adjudication of liability but in view of all the
circumstances of the case, such person is fairly and reasonably entitled to
indemnity for such expenses which the Court of Chancery or such other court
shall deem proper.

          (3) To the extent that a present or former director or officer of the
Corporation has been successful on the merits or otherwise in defense of any
action, suit or proceeding referred to in Sections (1) and (2) of this Article
VI, or in defense of any claim, issue or matter therein, he shall be indemnified
against expenses (including attorneys' fees) actually and reasonably incurred by
him in connection therewith.

          (4) Any indemnification under Sections (1) and (2) of this Article VI
(unless ordered by a court) shall be made by the Corporation only as authorized
in the specific case upon a determination that indemnification of the present or
former director, officer, employee or agent is proper in the circumstances
because he has met the applicable standard of conduct set forth in such Sections
(1) and (2).  Such determination shall be made, with respect to a director or
officer of the time of such determination, (a) by a majority vote of the
directors who are not parties to such action, suit or proceeding, even though
less than a quorum, or (b) by a committee of such directors designated by
majority vote of such directors, even though less than a quorum, or (c) if there
are no such directors, or if such directors so direct, by independent legal
counsel in a written opinion, or (d) by the stockholders of the Corporation.

          (5) Expenses (including attorneys' fees) incurred by an officer or
director in defending any civil, criminal, administrative or investigative
action, suit or proceeding may be paid by the Corporation in advance of the
final disposition of such action, suit or proceeding upon receipt of an
undertaking by or on behalf of such director or officer to repay such amount if
it shall ultimately be determined that he is not entitled to be indemnified by
the Corporation as authorized in this Article VI.  Such expenses (including
attorneys' fees) incurred by former directors and officers or other employees
and agents may be so paid upon such terms and conditions, if any, as the
Corporation deems appropriate.

          (6) The indemnification and advancement of expenses provided by, or
granted pursuant to, the other sections of this Article VI shall not be deemed
exclusive of any other rights to which those seeking indemnification or
advancement of expenses may be entitled under any bylaw, agreement, vote of
stockholders or disinterested directors or otherwise, both as to action in an
official capacity and as to action in another capacity while holding such
office.

          (7) The Corporation may purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of
any person who is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the
Corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the Corporation as a
director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint
venture, trust or other enterprise against any liability asserted against him
and incurred by him in any such capacity, or arising out of his status as such,
whether or not the Corporation would have the power to indemnify him against
such liability under the provisions of Section 145 of the General Corporation
Law.

          (8) For purposes of this Article VI, references to "the Corporation"
shall include, in addition to the resulting corporation, any constituent
corporation (including any constituent of a constituent) absorbed in a
consolidation or merger which, if its separate existence had continued, would
have had power and authority to indemnify its directors, officers, employees or
agents so that any person who is or was a director, officer, employee or agent
of such constituent corporation, or is or was serving at the request of such
constituent corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another
corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, shall stand
in the same position under the provisions of this Article VI with respect to the
resulting or surviving corporation as he would have with respect to such
constituent corporation if its separate existence had continued.

          (9) For purposes of this Article VI, references to "other enterprises"
shall include employee benefit plans; references to "fines" shall include any
excise taxes assessed on a person with respect to an employee benefit plan; and
references to "serving at the request of the Corporation" shall include any
service as a director, officer, employee or agent of the Corporation which
imposes duties on, or involves service by, such director, officer, employee or
agent with respect to any employee benefit plan, its participants or
beneficiaries; and a person who acted in good faith and in a manner he
reasonably believed to be in the interest of the participants and beneficiaries
of an employee benefit plan shall be deemed to have acted in a manner "not
opposed to the best interests of the Corporation" as referred to in this 
Article VI.

          (10) The indemnification and advancement of expenses provided by, or
granted pursuant to, this Article VI shall, unless otherwise provided when
authorized or ratified, continue as to a person who has ceased to be a director,
officer, employee or agent and shall inure to the benefit of the heirs,
executors and administrators of such a person.

                                  ARTICLE VII

                                 Reorganization

          Whenever a compromise or arrangement is proposed between this
Corporation and its creditors or any class of them and/or between this
Corporation and its stockholders or any class of them, any court of equitable
jurisdiction within the State of Delaware may, on the application in a summary
way of this Corporation or of any creditor or stockholder thereof or on the
application of any receiver or receivers appointed for this Corporation under
the provisions of section 291 of Title 8 of the Delaware Code or on the
application of trustees in dissolution or of

                                       4
<PAGE>
 
any receiver or receivers appointed for this Corporation under the provisions of
section 279 of Title 8 of the Delaware Code order a meeting of the creditors or
class of creditors, and/or of the stockholders or class of stockholders of this
Corporation, as the case may be, to be summoned in such manner as the said court
directs. If a majority in number representing three-fourths in value of the
creditors or class of creditors, and/or of the stockholders or class of
stockholders of this Corporation, as the case may be, agree to any compromise or
arrangement and to any reorganization of this Corporation as consequence of such
compromise or arrangement, the said compromise or arrangement and the said
reorganization shall, if sanctioned by the court to which the said application
has been made, be binding on all the creditors or class of creditors, and/or on
all the stockholders or class of stockholders, of this Corporation, as the case
may be, and also on this Corporation.

                                  ARTICLE IX

or offices at any other place or places within or without the State of Delaware
as the Board of Directors of the Corporation (the "Board") may from time to time
determine or the business of the Corporation may from time to time require.

                                   ARTICLE II

                            MEETINGS OF STOCKHOLDERS

          SECTION 2.01.  Annual Meetings.  The annual meeting of stockholders of
the Corporation for the election of directors of the Corporation ("Directors"),
and for the transaction of such other business as may properly come before such
meeting, shall be held at such place, date and time as shall be fixed by the
Board and designated in the notice or waiver of notice of such annual meeting;
provided, however, that no annual meeting of stockholders need be held if all
actions, including the election of Directors, required by the General
Corporation Law of the State of Delaware (the "General Corporation Law") to be
taken at such annual meeting are taken by written consent in lieu of meeting
pursuant to Section 2.09 hereof.

          SECTION 2.02.  Special Meetings.  Special meetings of stockholders for
any purpose or purposes may be called by the Board or the Chairman of the Board
of the Corporation (the "Chairman"), the President of the Corporation (the
"President") or the Secretary of the Corporation (the "Secretary") or by the
recordholders of at least a majority of the shares of common stock of the
Corporation issued and outstanding ("Shares") and entitled to vote thereat, 
 
<PAGE>
 
to be held at such place, date and time as shall be designated in the notice or
waiver of notice thereof.

          SECTION 2.03.  Notice of Meetings.  (a) Except as otherwise provided
by law, written notice of each annual or special meeting of stockholders stating
the place, date and time of such meeting and, in the case of a special meeting,
the purpose or purposes for which such meeting is to be held, shall be given
personally or by first-class mail (airmail in the case of international
communications) to each recordholder of Shares (a "Stockholder") entitled to
vote thereat, not less than 10 nor more than 60 days before the date of such
meeting.  If mailed, such notice shall be deemed to be given when deposited in
the United States mail, postage prepaid, directed to the Stockholder at such
Stockholder's address as it appears on the records of the Corporation.  If,
prior to the time of mailing, the Secretary shall have received from any
Stockholder a written request that notices intended for such Stockholder are to
be mailed to some address other than the address that appears on the records of
the Corporation, notices intended for such Stockholder shall be mailed to the
address designated in such request.

          (b) Notice of a special meeting of Stockholders may be given by the
person or persons calling the meeting, or, upon the written request of such
person or persons, such notice shall be given by the Secretary on behalf of such
person or persons.  If the person or persons calling a special meeting of
Stockholders give notice thereof, such person or persons shall deliver a copy of
such notice to the Secretary.  Each request to the Secretary for the giving of
notice of a special meeting of Stockholders shall state the purpose or purposes
of such meeting.

          SECTION 2.04.  Waiver of Notice.  Notice of any annual or special
meeting of Stockholders need not be given to any Stockholder who files a written
waiver of notice with the Secretary, signed by the person entitled to notice,
whether before or after such meeting.  Neither the business to be transacted at,
nor the purpose of, any meeting of Stockholders need be specified in any written
waiver of notice thereof.  Attendance of a Stockholder at a meeting, in person
or by proxy, shall constitute a waiver of notice of such meeting, except when
such Stockholder attends a meeting for the express purpose of objecting, at the
beginning of the meeting, to the transaction of any business on the grounds that
the notice of such meeting was inadequate or improperly given.

          SECTION 2.05.  Adjournments.  Whenever a meeting of Stockholders,
annual or special, is adjourned to another date, time or place, notice need not
be given of the adjourned meeting if the date, time and place thereof are
announced at the meeting at which the adjournment is taken.  If the adjournment
is for more than 30 days, or if after the adjournment a new record date is fixed
for the adjourned meeting, a notice of the adjourned meeting shall be given to
each Stockholder entitled to vote thereat.  At the adjourned meeting, any
business may be transacted which might have been transacted at the original
meeting.

          SECTION 2.06.  Quorum.  Except as otherwise provided by law or the
Certificate of Incorporation of the Corporation (the "Certificate of
Incorporation"), the recordholders of a majority of the Shares entitled to vote
thereat, present in person or by proxy, shall constitute a quorum for the
transaction of business at all meetings of Stockholders, whether annual or
special.

                                       2
 
<PAGE>
 
If, however, such quorum shall not be present in person or by proxy at
any meeting of Stockholders, the Stockholders entitled to vote thereat may
adjourn the meeting from time to time in accordance with Section 2.05 hereof
until a quorum shall be present in person or by proxy.

          SECTION 2.07.  Voting.  Each Stockholder shall be entitled to one vote
for each Share held of record by such Stockholder.  Except as otherwise provided
by law or the Certificate of Incorporation, when a quorum is present at any
meeting of Stockholders, the vote of the recordholders of a majority of the
Shares constituting such quorum shall decide any question brought before such
meeting.

          SECTION 2.08.  Proxies.  Each Stockholder entitled to vote at a
meeting of Stockholders or to express, in writing, consent to or dissent from
any action of Stockholders without a meeting may authorize another person or
persons to act for such Stockholder by proxy.  Such proxy shall be filed with
the Secretary before such meeting of Stockholders or such action of Stockholders
without a meeting, at such time as the Board may require.  No proxy shall be
voted or acted upon more than three years from its date, unless the proxy
provides for a longer period.

          SECTION 2.09.  Stockholders' Consent in Lieu of Meeting.  Any action
required by the General Corporation Law to be taken at any annual or special
meeting of Stockholders, and any action which may be taken at any annual or
special meeting of Stockholders, may be taken without a meeting, without prior
notice and without a vote, if a consent in writing, setting forth the action so
taken, shall be signed by the recordholders of Shares having not less than the
minimum number of votes necessary to authorize or take such action at a meeting
at which the recordholders of all Shares entitled to vote thereon were present
and voted.

                                  ARTICLE III

                               BOARD OF DIRECTORS

          SECTION 3.01.  General Powers.  The business and affairs of the
Corporation shall be managed by the Board, which may exercise all such powers of

Certificate of Incorporation or these By-laws directed or required to be
exercised or done by Stockholders.

          SECTION 3.02.  Number and Term of Office.  The number of Directors
shall be two or such other number as shall be fixed from time to time by the
Board.  Directors need not be Stockholders.  Directors shall be elected at the
annual meeting of Stockholders or, if, in accordance with Section 2.01 hereof,
no such annual meeting is held, by written consent in lieu of meeting pursuant
to Section 2.09 hereof, and each Director shall hold office until his successor
is elected and qualified, or until his earlier death or resignation or removal
in the manner hereinafter provided.

<PAGE>
 
          SECTION 3.03.  Resignation.  Any Director may resign at any time by
giving written notice to the Board, the Chairman or the Secretary.  Such
resignation shall take effect at the time specified in such notice or, if the
time be not specified, upon receipt thereof by the Board, the Chairman or the
Secretary, as the case may be.  Unless otherwise specified therein, acceptance
of such resignation shall not be necessary to make it effective.

          SECTION 3.04.  Removal.  Any or all of the Directors may be removed,
with or without cause, at any time by vote of the recordholders of a majority of
the Shares then entitled to vote at an election of Directors, or by written
consent of the recordholders of Shares pursuant to Section 2.09 hereof.

          SECTION 3.05.  Vacancies.  Vacancies occurring on the Board as a
result of the removal of Directors without cause may be filled only by vote of
the recordholders of a majority of the Shares then entitled to vote at an
election of Directors, or by written consent of such recordholders pursuant to
Section 2.09 hereof.  Vacancies occurring on the Board for any other reason,
including, without limitation, vacancies occurring as a result of the creation
of new directorships that increase the number of Directors, may be filled by
such vote or written consent or by vote of the Board or by written consent of
the Directors pursuant to Section 3.08 hereof.  If the number of Directors then
in office is less than a quorum, such other vacancies may be filled by vote of a
majority of the Directors then in office or by written consent of all such
Directors pursuant to Section 3.08 hereof.  Unless earlier removed pursuant to
Section 3.04 hereof, each Director chosen in accordance with this Section 3.05
shall hold office until the next annual election of Directors by the
Stockholders and until his successor shall be elected and qualified.

          SECTION 3.06.  Meetings.  (a)  Annual Meetings.  As soon as
practicable after each annual election of Directors by the Stockholders, the
Board shall meet for the purpose of organization and the transaction of other
business, unless it shall have transacted all such business by written consent
pursuant to Section 3.08 hereof.

          (b) Other Meetings.  Other meetings of the Board shall be held at such
times as the Chairman, the President, the Secretary or a majority of the Board
shall from time to time determine.

          (c) Notice of Meetings.  The Secretary shall give written notice to
each Director of each meeting of the Board, which notice shall state the place,
date, time and purpose of such meeting.  Notice of each such meeting shall be
given to each Director, if by mail, addressed to him at his residence or usual
place of business, at least two days before the day on which such meeting is to
be held, or shall be sent to him at such place by telecopy, telegraph, cable, or
other form of recorded communication, or be delivered personally or by telephone
not later than the day before the day on which such meeting is to be held.  A
written waiver of notice, signed by the Director entitled to notice, whether
before or after the time of the meeting referred to in such waiver, shall be
deemed equivalent to notice.  Neither the business to be transacted at, nor the
purpose of any meeting of the Board need be specified in any written waiver of
notice thereof.  Attendance of a Director at a meeting of the Board shall
constitute a waiver of notice of such meeting, except as provided by law.

                                       4
 
<PAGE>
 
          (d) Place of Meetings.  The Board may hold its meetings at such place
or places within or without the State of Delaware as the Board or the Chairman
may from time to time determine, or as shall be designated in the respective
notices or waivers of notice of such meetings.

          (e) Quorum and Manner of Acting.  A majority of the total number of
Directors then in office shall be present in person at any meeting of the Board
in order to constitute a quorum for the transaction of business at such meeting,
and the vote of a majority of those Directors present at any such meeting at
which a quorum is present shall be necessary for the passage of any resolution
or act of the Board, except as otherwise expressly required by law, the
Certificate of Incorporation or these By-laws.  In the absence of a quorum for
any such meeting, a majority of the Directors present thereat may adjourn such
meeting from time to time until a quorum shall be present.

          (f) Organization.  At each meeting of the Board, one of the following
shall act as chairman of the meeting and preside, in the following order of
precedence:

               (i)    the Chairman;

               (ii)   the President, if he be a Director;

               (iii)  any Director chosen by a majority of the Directors
                      present.

The Secretary or, in the case of his absence, any person (who shall be an
Assistant Secretary, if an Assistant Secretary is present) whom the chairman of
the meeting shall appoint shall act as secretary of such meeting and keep the
minutes thereof.

          SECTION 3.07.  Committees of the Board.  The Board may, by resolution
passed by a majority of the whole Board, designate one or more committees, each
committee to consist of one or more Directors.  The Board may designate one or
more Directors as alternate members of any committee, who may replace any absent
or disqualified member at any meeting of such committee.  In the absence or
disqualification of a member of a committee, the member or members thereof
present at any meeting and not disqualified from voting, whether or not he or
they constitute a quorum, may unanimously appoint another Director to act at the
meeting in the place of any such absent or disqualified member.  Any committee
of the Board, to the extent provided in the resolution of the Board designating
such committee, shall have and may exercise all the powers and authority of the
Board in the management of the business and affairs of the Corporation, and may
authorize the seal of the Corporation to be affixed to all papers which may
require it; provided, however, that no such committee shall have such power or
authority in reference to amending the Certificate of Incorporation (except that
such a committee may, to the extent authorized in the resolution or resolutions
providing for the issuance of shares of stock adopted by the Board as provided
in Section 151(a) of the General Corporation Law, fix the designations and any
of the preferences or rights of such shares relating to dividends, redemption,
dissolution, any distribution of assets of the Corporation or the conversion
into, or 

                                       5

the exchange of such shares for, shares of any other class or classes of stock

stolen or destroyed, upon the surrender of the mutilated certificate or, in the
case of loss, theft or destruction of the certificate, upon satisfactory proof
of such loss, theft or destruction, and the Board may, in its discretion,
require the recordholder of the Shares evidenced by the lost, stolen or
destroyed certificate or his legal representative to give the Corporation a bond

thereof, or to express consent to, or to dissent from, corporate action in
writing without a meeting, or entitled to receive payment of any dividend or
other distribution or allotment of any rights, or entitled to exercise any
rights in respect of any change, conversion or exchange of stock, or for the
purpose of any other lawful action, the Board may fix, in advance, a record
date, which shall not be more than 60 nor less than 10 days before the date of
such meeting, nor more than 60 days prior to any other such action.  A
determination of the Stockholders entitled to notice of or to vote at a meeting
of Stockholders shall apply to any adjournment of such meeting; provided,
