                               THE LTV CORPORATION
                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                  June 30, 1996

NOTE (1) - The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have
been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for
interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article
10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information
and disclosures required by generally accepted accounting principles for
complete financial statements. All adjustments that are, in the opinion of
management, necessary for a fair presentation have been made and are of a
recurring nature unless otherwise disclosed herein. Certain prior period amounts
have been reclassified to conform with the current period presentation. The
results of operations for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of
results of operations for a full year. For further information, refer to the
consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto for the year ended
December 31, 1995 included in the LTV Annual Report to Shareholders incorporated
by reference into the 1995 Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities
and Exchange Commission.

NOTE (2) - The Company's income tax provision from continuing operations was
$26.5 million in the first six months of 1996 compared with $71.8 million in
1995. Included in the 1996 and 1995 first six months' income tax provisions are
federal and state income tax expense amounts of $25.0 million and $70.7 million,
respectively, which do not result in cash payments. As LTV realizes the benefits
of pre-reorganization net deferred tax assets through reduced cash tax payments,
such benefits increase paid-in capital. In prior years, such benefits reduced
the intangible asset resulting from the reorganization until it was eliminated
in 1995. The Company's actual income tax cash payments are, and will continue to
be, significantly less than the total financial statement expense amounts as the
benefits of pre-reorganization net deferred tax assets are realized. Amounts
totaling $25.0 million and $38.2 million were reported as increases to the
additional paid-in capital account of shareholders' equity in the first six
months ended 1996 and 1995, respectively.

                 ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
                  RESULTS OF OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL CONDITION

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS - COMPARISON OF SECOND QUARTER AND FIRST SIX MONTHS 1996
AND 1995

Sales
- -----

     Sales of $1.075 billion in the second quarter of 1996 decreased by $38
million (3%) from the second quarter of 1995. Second quarter 1996 steel
shipments of 2.1 million tons increased by 112,000 tons (6%) from the second
quarter of 1995. Sales of $2.068 billion in the first six months of 1996
decreased by $130 million (6%) from the first six months of 1995. Steel
shipments of 4.1 million tons in the first six months increased by 132,000 tons
(3%) from the first six months of 1995. The decreased sales reflect the lower
average selling prices in the 1996 periods, partially offset by higher
shipments.

     In the second quarter of 1996, hot and cold flat rolled product sales of
$533.4 million were 5% lower versus the second quarter of 1995, reflecting a
decrease in average selling prices, partially offset by a 6% increase in
shipments. Galvanized product sales of $325.8 million were 2% higher in the
second quarter of 1996 versus the second quarter of 1995, reflecting a 10%
increase in shipments and a decrease in average selling prices. Tin mill product
sales of $101.4 million were 10% lower in the second quarter of 1996, reflecting
a 4% decrease in shipments and a decrease in average selling prices. Tubular
product sales of $78.9 million, consisting primarily of electrical conduit,
electric weld pipe and welded tubing, were 5% lower in the second quarter of
1996, reflecting a decrease in average selling prices.

     In the first six months of 1996, hot and cold flat rolled product sales of
$1.031 billion were 7% lower versus the first six months of 1995, reflecting a
decrease in average selling prices, partially offset by a 4% increase in
shipments. Galvanized product sales of $611.6 million were 6% lower in the first
six months of 1996 versus the first six months of 1995, reflecting a 2% increase
in shipments and a decrease in average selling prices. Tin mill product sales of
$208.0 million were 1% lower in the first six months of 1996, reflecting a 5%
increase in shipments, offset by a decrease in average selling prices. Tubular
product sales of $155.9 million were 6% lower in the first six months of 1996,
reflecting a decrease in average selling prices on shipments approximating the
prior year.

     Nonsteel sales in the second quarter of 1996 of $35.6 million were $1.9
million less than in the second quarter of 1995. Nonsteel sales in the first six
months of 1996 of $61.7 million were $5.1 million less than the first six months
of 1995.

Production and Costs
- --------------------

     Raw steel production of 2.2 million tons in the second quarter of 1996
increased by 185,000 tons compared with the second quarter of 1995. The average
operating rate (of AISI defined capacity) at the Company's steelmaking
facilities during the second quarter of 1996 was 106% compared with 98% in 1995.
The reduced production level in 1995 was due to a four-week production
interruption for a blast furnace repair outage at the Indiana Harbor Works.

     Raw steel production of 4.4 million tons in the first six months of 1996
increased by 177,000 tons compared with the first six months of 1995. The
average operating rate at the Company's steelmaking facilities during the first
six months of 1996 was 106% compared with 103% in 1995.

                                      I-5
<PAGE>   7



     Cost of products sold as a percentage of sales increased to 86% in the
second quarter of 1996 from 83% in the second quarter of 1995 and increased to
87% in the first six months of 1996 from 83% in the first six months of 1995.
The percentage increases result from the lower average selling prices in the
1996 periods. Productivity and cost improvements in the first half of 1996 were
partially offset by adverse weather cost penalties primarily at the Company's
iron ore and coke plant operations.

Net Interest and Other Income
- -----------------------------

     Net interest and other income totaled $8.9 million and $17.9 million in the
second quarter and first six months of 1996, respectively, approximating the
prior period amounts.

Income Taxes
- ------------

     For information regarding income taxes, see Note (2) to the consolidated
financial statements.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

     The Company's sources of liquidity include cash and cash equivalents,
marketable securities, cash from operations, amounts available under credit
facilities and other external sources of funds. Management believes that these
sources are sufficient to fund the current requirements of working capital,
capital expenditures, investments in joint ventures, pensions and postemployment
health care.

     During the first six months of 1996, cash provided by operating activities
amounted to $251.8 million. Major uses of cash during the first six months of
1996 included contributions to the Company's restored pension plans of $43.7
million, capital expenditures of $82.1 million, investments in steel-related
businesses of $64.4 million and net purchases of marketable securities of $138.1
million. In the first six months of 1996, total cash and cash equivalents
decreased by $85.9 million to $180.0 million at June 30, 1996. Since December
31, 1995, total cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities have increased
by $52.2 million to $775.3 million at June 30, 1996.

     The Company's receivables credit facility permits borrowings of up to $320
million for working capital requirements and general corporate purposes, $100
million of which may be used to issue letters of credit. At June 30, 1996,
$295.3 million was permitted to be borrowed; however, no borrowings were
outstanding and letters of credit outstanding amounted to $25.8 million under
this facility. The Company also has a separate letter of credit facility that
provides for the issuance of up to $150 million in letters of credit. At June
30, 1996, letters of credit totaling $84.7 million were outstanding under this
facility.

     The Company's long-term debt and credit facilities' agreements contain
various covenants that require the Company to maintain certain financial ratios
and amounts. These agreements, as well as the Company's agreement with the
Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation (the "PBGC Agreement"), place certain
restrictions on payments of dividends, capital expenditures, investments in
subsidiaries and borrowings. The PBGC Agreement also requires that a significant
portion of the Company's annual cash flow be contributed to the Company's
pension plans. Under the terms of the most restrictive debt covenant,
approximately $128.5 million of retained earnings are available for Common Stock
dividend payments at June 30, 1996. Substantially all of the Company's
receivables and inventories are pledged as collateral under these debt
agreements. The Company does not believe that the restrictions contained in
these financial and operating covenants will cause significant limitations on
the Company's financial flexibility.

     A 1993 agreement with the United Steelworkers of America ("USWA") provided
that a portion of the requirements with respect to certain postemployment
benefits would be secured by a junior lien of $250 million on collateral with an
unencumbered fair market value of at least $500 million. The initial security
was provided by the grant of a mortgage on facilities having a carrying value of
approximately $500 million.

     LTV competes directly with domestic and foreign integrated flat rolled
carbon steel producers, minimills and indirectly with producers of plastics,
aluminum and other materials such as ceramics and wood, which sometimes can be
substituted for flat rolled carbon steel in manufacturing and construction.
Certain companies have announced plans or begun construction of additional
minimills to produce flat rolled products. Thin slab casting technologies have
allowed some minimills to enter certain flat rolled markets that have
traditionally been supplied by integrated producers. The primary factors that
affect competition include price, quality, delivery and customer service. LTV
targets quality-critical, value-added applications and believes it is able to
differentiate some of its products from those of competitors on the basis of
product quality, on-time delivery performance, and product and technical support
to customers. LTV will continue to require substantial funds in future years to
maintain and improve its steel operations in order to compete with steel
substitutes, minimills and other fully integrated steelmakers. Capital
expenditures for the six months ended June 30, 1996 totaled $82.1 million and
for the full year are estimated to total approximately $250 million. LTV's
investment in Trico Steel Company joint venture for the six months ended June
30, 1996 totaled $59.9 million and completed the Company's expected investment
of $150 million.

ENVIRONMENTAL LIABILITIES AND RELATED COSTS

     LTV is subject to changing and increasingly stringent environmental laws
and regulations concerning air emissions, water discharges and waste disposal,
as well as remediation activities that involve the clean-up of environmental
media such as soils and groundwater ("remediation liabilities"). As a
consequence, the Company has incurred, and will continue to incur, substantial
capital expenditures and operating and maintenance expenses in order to comply
with such requirements. Additionally, if any of the Company's facilities are
unable to meet required environmental standards or laws, those operations could
be temporarily or permanently closed.

     The Company spent $6.6 million during the first six months of 1996 for
environmental clean-up and related matters at operating and idled facilities,
and at June 30, 1996, has a recorded liability of $93.5 million for known and
identifiable environmental and related matters. As the Company becomes aware of
additional matters or obtains more information, it may be required to record
additional liabilities for environmental remediation. The Company also spent
$10.8 million in the first six months of 1996 for environmental
compliance-related capital expenditures and expects it will be required to spend
an average of approximately $30 million annually in capital expenditures during
the next five years to meet environmental standards.

OTHER MATTERS

     In conjunction with its contract with the USWA, the Company is currently
negotiating certain wage provisions that, in the absence of an agreement, will
be subject to binding arbitration. Each party submitted their final offer to the
arbitrator on May 7, 1996 and the arbitration hearing is expected to take place
in October 1996 with the new labor terms effective August 1, 1996. The current
contract prohibits strikes and other work interruptions during the term of the
agreement, which expires August 1, 1999.

                                     PART II

ITEM 1.  LEGAL PROCEEDINGS.

      LTV Steel Company, Inc. ("LTV Steel") is submitting to the Illinois EPA a
remedial plan for the clean up of deposited waste at its Chicago Plant in
connection with the environmental proceeding entitled "State of Illinois" 
described in LTV's Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1995 
("LTV 10-K"). The cost of the clean up, if the plan is accepted by the Illinois
EPA, is expected to be immaterial.

      Additionally, LTV Steel settled the U.S. Coast Guard proceeding involving
an oil spill at the Indiana Harbor Works which was described in LTV's Report 
on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1995 with a payment of $96,000 to
reimburse the U.S. Coast Guard for the clean up. The U.S. Coast Guard dropped 
its demand for a $10,000 civil penalty.

      In July 1996, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit affirmed
the lower court's decision that denied priority status to those bankruptcy
claims filed by Aetna Casualty and Surety Company ("Aetna") in the Aetna
litigation which is described in the LTV 10-K under the headings "Joint Plan"
and "Remaining Proceedings Relating to Status of Claims".  Aetna has indicated
it will seek a review of the appellate court decision by the U.S. Supreme Court.

ITEM 5.  OTHER INFORMATION

REQUIRED APPROVAL FOR CERTAIN PURCHASES OF
COMMON STOCK AND SERIES A WARRANTS

      For the purpose of preserving LTV's ability to utilize certain favorable
tax attributes, Article Ninth of LTV's Restated Certificate of Incorporation
prohibits, with certain limited exceptions, any unapproved acquisition of Common
Stock or Series A Warrants that would cause the ownership interest percentage of
the acquirer or any other person to increase to 4.5% or above. A person's
ownership interest percentage for purposes of Article Ninth is determined by
reference to specified federal income tax principles, including attribution of
shares from certain related parties, deemed exercise of rights to acquire stock
(such as the Company's Series A Warrants) and aggregation of shares purchased by
persons acting in concert. PURCHASES OF COMMON STOCK OR SERIES A WARRANTS FROM
ANY PERSON OTHER THAN THE COMPANY ARE SUBJECT TO THE LIMITATIONS IMPOSED BY
ARTICLE NINTH, AND ANY UNAPPROVED PURCHASE IN EXCESS OF THE AMOUNTS PERMITTED BY
ARTICLE NINTH WILL BE VOID AB INITIO. A PROSPECTIVE PURCHASER OF COMMON STOCK OR
SERIES A WARRANTS WHO BELIEVES THAT IT MAY BE SUBJECT TO THE LIMITATIONS IMPOSED
BY ARTICLE NINTH SHOULD CONSULT WITH THEIR ADVISORS OR LTV IN ADVANCE OF
ACQUIRING SUCH SECURITIES TO DETERMINE IF ADVANCE APPROVAL MUST BE OBTAINED FROM
LTV'S BOARD OF DIRECTORS.
