               NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS  
                                   (Unaudited)
(Dollars in millions, 
except per share amounts)


1.  The condensed consolidated financial statements of Armco Inc. (Armco) 
should be read in conjunction with the financial statements in Armco's Annual 
Report to Shareholders for the year ended December 31, 1994.  In the opinion 
of Armco's management, the accompanying condensed consolidated financial 
statements contain all adjustments, which were of a normal recurring nature, 
necessary to present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position 
as of June 30, 1995, the results of operations for the three and six months 
ended June 30, 1995 and 1994 and cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 
1995 and 1994.  The results of operations for the six months ended June 30, 
1995 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the year 
1995.

2.  Armco's inventories are valued at the lower of cost or market.  Cost of 
inventories at most of Armco's domestic operations is measured on the LIFO - 
Last In, First Out - method.  Other inventories are valued principally at 
average cost.

3.  In the six months ended June 30, 1994, Armco recorded a special charge of 
$20.0 for expenses associated with the temporary idling and restructuring of 
its Mansfield and Dover, Ohio steelmaking and finishing facilities.  These 
facilities were idled in March of 1994.    Approximately two-thirds of the 
charge was associated with group insurance and other benefits for employees 
while the plant was idled.  The remainder of the charge related to asset 
writedowns. At June 30, 1995, $3.3 of the reserves remain and are recorded in 
Other accrued liabilities in Armco's Condensed Statement of Consolidated 
Financial Position.  The Dover plant started limited production in early 1995 
and the new thin-slab caster and renovated hot strip mill at the Mansfield 
facility resumed operating in early April 1995.  The remainder of the 
Mansfield finishing facilities are expected to resume operations in the third 
quarter.

4.  Sundry other - net in Armco's Condensed Statement of Consolidated 
Operations and Retained Deficit includes expense of $10.0 and $19.6 for the 
three and six months ended June 30, 1995, respectively, and $8.9 and $17.2 for 
the three and six months ended June 30, 1994, respectively, for interest on 
employee benefit obligations related to facilities which have been divested.  
The increase in 1995 is primarily due to higher interest rates and additional 
obligations recorded in 1994.

5.  Armco owns a 50% interest in National-Oilwell, an oil field equipment and 
supply joint venture with USX Corporation.  National-Oilwell's results of 
operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 1995 and 1994 were as 
follows:

</TABLE>
In the three and six months ended June 30, 1995, Armco's equity income 
included approximately $2.0 related to net gains on the sale of assets at 
National-Oilwell.  During the same periods in 1994, equity income included 
$4.4 for net gains on asset sales by National-Oilwell.

Armco and USX Corporation entered into a letter of intent, dated May 17, 1995, 
to sell their respective partnership interests in National-Oilwell to a group 
including Duff & Phelps/Inverness LLC and Bain Capital.  The sale, which is 
subject to several contingencies, including the buyers obtaining financing for 
the purchase, is expected to close by the end of this year.

6.  On April 7, 1994, Armco Steel Company, L.P. (ASC), a fifty percent owned 
joint venture limited partnership between subsidiaries of Armco and Kawasaki 
Steel Corporation, completed an initial public offering and recapitalization.  
As part of this transaction, the business and assets of ASC were transferred 
to AK Steel Holding Corporation (AK Steel) and Armco received 1,023,987 shares 
of the newly-formed corporation's stock, representing approximately 4% of the 
outstanding shares.  In addition, Armco was released from certain obligations 
to make future cash payments to the former joint venture.  At December 31, 
1994, the investment in AK Steel stock was recorded in Other current assets 
with a corresponding credit in Unrealized gain on equity securities in the 
Condensed Statement of Consolidated Financial Position.

As a result of the transaction, Armco recognized a nonrecurring pretax gain in 
the three and six months ended June 30, 1994 of $36.5, primarily as a result 
of the release from certain obligations, discussed above, and recognition of 
deferred pension curtailment gains established at ASC's formation.  At the 
same time, Armco reevaluated its deferred tax asset position in light of this 
transaction and concluded that the amount of deferred tax asset, for which 
realization of a future benefit is more likely than not, had increased by 
$30.0.  This latter amount is recorded in Credit (provision) for income taxes 
in the Condensed Statement of Consolidated Operations and Retained Deficit.

On May 4, 1995, Armco announced that it had completed the sale of all of the 
shares in AK Steel it had received as a result of the initial public offering 
and recapitalization.  In the three and six months ended June 30, 1995, Armco 
recorded gains of $25.9 and $27.2, respectively, related to the sale of this 
stock.  Armco will use available capital loss carryforwards to offset federal 
and state income taxes on this gain.  With the completion of the sale, Armco 
no longer owns any stock in AK Steel.

7.  At December 31, 1994, Armco Financial Services Group (AFSG) consisted 
primarily of insurance companies which Armco intended to sell and which 
continued underwriting activities (AFSG companies to be sold) and insurance 
companies that had stopped writing new business and are being liquidated 
(runoff companies).  

On April 7, 1995, the sale of the AFSG companies to be sold was completed. The 
proceeds from the sale consisted of $64.2 in cash at the closing and $15.0 to 
be received in three years.  The latter amount is subject to potential 
adjustment for adverse experience in certain insurance reserves.  
Substantially all of these proceeds have been pledged as security for certain 
note obligations due to the runoff companies and will be retained in the 
investment portfolio of those companies.  

In 1993, Armco recorded reserves totaling approximately $11.5, primarily for 
employee benefit liabilities Armco expected to retain after the sale of the 
AFSG companies to be sold.  As part of the sale agreement, Armco received $4.2 
in cash from the former companies to be sold and assumed an equal amount of 
additional employee benefit obligations from them.  Armco 
                                      -6-
<PAGE>8
transferred the cash and all of the above liabilities to the runoff companies 
in the second quarter of 1995, concurrent with the closing of the sale of the 
AFSG companies to be sold.  As a result of this transfer, Armco reduced its 
investment in the runoff companies by $11.5 in the second quarter of 1995.

The runoff companies are accounted for by Armco as discontinued operations 
under the liquidation basis of accounting whereby all future cash inflows and 
outflows are considered.  Armco management continues to believe, based on 
current facts and circumstances and the views of outside counsel and advisors, 
that future charges, if any, resulting from the runoff companies will not be 
material to Armco's consolidated financial condition or liquidity.  However, 
it is possible that due to fluctuations in Armco's results, future 
developments could have a material effect on the results of one or more future 
interim or annual periods.  Following the sale of the AFSG companies to be 
sold and the transfer of the liabilities described above, Armco's investment 
in the runoff companies totaled $85.6 at June 30, 1995.
 
There are various matters pending which involve AFSG, relating to litigation, 
arbitration and regulatory affairs, including matters related to Northwestern 
National Insurance Company, a runoff company currently involved in, among 
other matters, arbitration and litigation with respect to certain reinsurance 
programs.  The ultimate liability from such matters at June 30, 1995 cannot be 
determined; but in Armco's opinion, based on current facts and circumstances 
and the views of outside counsel and advisors, any liability resulting will 
not materially affect Armco's consolidated financial condition or liquidity.  
However, it is possible that due to fluctuations in Armco's results, future 
developments with respect to changes in the ultimate liability could have a 
material effect on future interim or annual results of operations.

8.  Under the terms of Armco's $170.0 amended bank credit agreement, which 
expires on December 31, 1995, Armco is not permitted to pay cash dividends on 
its common stock.  The payment of dividends on preferred stock is prohibited 
if Armco is in default under the credit agreement.  

Under the terms of the indentures for Armco's 11.375% Senior Notes Due 1999 
and 9.375% Senior Notes Due 2000, Armco cannot pay a dividend on its common 
stock or repurchase its capital stock, unless it meets certain financial tests 
described in the indentures.  Armco does not expect to be able to meet all of 
these tests in the near term.

At its July 28, 1995 meeting, the Board of Directors declared the regular 
quarterly dividends payable on Armco's $2.10 Cumulative Convertible Preferred 
Stock, Class A, $3.625 Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock, Class A, and 
$4.50 Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock, Class B. 

9.  There are various claims pending involving Armco and its subsidiaries 
regarding product liability, antitrust, patent, employee benefits, 
environmental and hazardous waste matters, reinsurance and insurance 
arrangements (Note 7), and other matters arising out of the conduct of Armco's 
business.  

Like other manufacturers, Armco is subject to various environmental laws.  
These laws necessitate expenditures to assure compliance at Armco's facilities 
and to remediate sites where contamination has occurred.  Compliance costs are 
either expensed as they are incurred or, when appropriate, are recorded as 
capital expenditures.  Armco has accrued its estimate of remediation costs for 
sites where it is probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount 
can be reasonably estimated.  The recorded amounts are currently believed by 
management to be sufficient.  However, such estimates could significantly 
change in future periods to reflect new laws or regulations, advances in 
technologies, additional sites requiring remediation, new remediation 
requirements at existing sites, and Armco's share of liability at multi-party 
sites.  

Armco believes, based on current facts and circumstances, that its ultimate 
liability for pending claims, contingent liabilities and environmental matters 
identified to date will not materially affect its consolidated financial 
condition or liquidity.  However, it is possible that due to fluctuations in 
Armco's results, future developments with respect to such pending claims,
                                   -7-
<PAGE>9
 contingent liabilities and environmental matters could have a material effect 
on the results of operations in future interim or annual periods.

At June 30, 1995, Armco had recorded on its Condensed Statement of 
Consolidated Financial Position, legal and environmental reserves of $87.6, of 
which $20.5 was classified as current.

GENERAL
-------
During the first six months of 1995, the asset sale by Eastern Stainless 
Corporation (Eastern Stainless), an 84%-owned subsidiary of Armco Inc. 
(Armco), was completed.  In the third quarter of 1994, Armco announced that 
Eastern Stainless was selling substantially all of its assets to Avesta 
Sheffield Holding Company (Avesta Sheffield), a stainless steel plate 
manufacturer.  As of September 30, 1994, Armco stopped recording Eastern 
Stainless' results as part of the Specialty Flat-Rolled Steel segment.   
Eastern Stainless completed the asset sale on March 14, 1995, receiving 
approximately $10.1 in cash and the assumption of certain Eastern Stainless 
liabilities.  As part of the transaction, Armco assumed all of the liabilities 
of Eastern Stainless not assumed by Avesta Sheffield, totaling approximately 
$60.0.  The $10.1 cash received on the sale will be used by Armco to satisfy a 
portion of the Eastern Stainless liabilities assumed by Armco (primarily 
normal operating and employee benefit obligations).  Upon completion of the 
transaction, Eastern Stainless had no assets remaining as a corporate legal 
entity and was dissolved and its corporate existence terminated without any 
shareholder distribution.

On April 7, 1995, the sale of the Armco Financial Services Group ongoing 
insurance companies was completed.  The sale is more fully described under 
DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS, below.

Armco's results in the second quarter and first six months of 1995 and 1994 
were as follows:

</TABLE>

Sales in the three months ended June 30, 1995 increased 10% from the same 
period in 1994 on the strength of a 12% increase in the Specialty Flat-Rolled 
Steel segment and a 5% increase in the Other Steel and Fabricated Products 
segment.  The increase from the Specialty Flat-Rolled Steel segment was 
achieved despite the divestiture of Eastern Stainless, which had $18.3 of 
sales in the second quarter of 1994 and was sold in the first quarter of 1995.  
Year-to-date sales increased only 3% as increased sales at most units were 
partially offset by lower sales at the Mansfield Operations, which was idle 
during all of the first quarter of 1995.

As a result of the decision to idle and restructure Mansfield and Dover, Armco 
recognized a $20.0 special charge in the first half of 1994.  Absent the 
special charge, increases in operating profit for both the quarter and year-
to-date reflect a significant improvement in the results of the Specialty 
Flat-Rolled Steel segment, partially offset by higher losses in the Other 
Steel and Fabricated Products segment, primarily due to the ramp-up of the new 
equipment installed in Mansfield.

In the three and six months ended June 30, 1995, Armco's net income includes 
gains of $25.9 and $27.2, respectively, for the sale of Armco's investment in 
AK Steel Holding Corporation (AK Steel).  In the three and six months ended 
June 30, 1994, net income included $36.5 as a pretax gain and $30.0 of tax 
gains related to the initial public offering and recapitalization of AK Steel.  
These transactions are more fully described below in EQUITY AND OTHER 
INVESTMENTS.

Net income per common share reflects the deduction of $4.4 for the quarter and 
$8.9 for the first six months for preferred stock dividends declared.

</TABLE>

Customer sales and tons shipped increased by 12% and 5%, respectively, in the 
second quarter of 1995 versus 1994, as strong market demand for all product 
lines in this business segment continued.  Included in the second quarter 1994 
were Eastern Stainless sales of $18.3 and shipments of 8,000 tons. While the 
Butler, Pennsylvania, and Zanesville and Coshocton, Ohio plants produced at 
full capacity in both periods, productivity improvements increased output in 
1995.  Year-to-date 1995 shipments exceeded the first six months of 1994 
primarily due to increased demand for automotive chrome stainless, specialty 
sheet and strip, and electrical steels.

On January 2, 1995, price increases of 5% to 7% went into effect for 
electrical steels.  Due to strong market conditions, these increases, as well 
as increases in stainless steel prices announced in late 1994 and early 1995, 
are expected to remain in effect.  Prices for products containing molybdenum, 
nickel and chrome have also been favorably impacted by raw material price 
surcharges placed in effect in the first quarter of 1995.

Operating profit as a percent of sales for the three months ended June 30, 
1995 and 1994 was 18% and 13%, respectively, reflecting improved volume, 
productivity and a favorable product mix, as well as elimination of the 
operating losses of Eastern Stainless.  Partially offsetting the favorable 
effects on operating profit were higher raw material costs, including those on 
scrap steel and alloys.  The 55% increase in 1995 year-to-date operating 
profit over last year is directly attributable to improved pricing, volume, 
productivity and mix, as well as the elimination of losses from Eastern 
Stainless.

Outlook:  Operating results are expected to continue to improve relative to 
1994 as a result of continued strong market conditions and improved production 
efficiencies.  Until Mansfield becomes fully operational, demand for 
electrical steel is expected to exceed Armco's ability to supply.  At June 30, 
1995, order backlog for all products was 14% higher than one year ago and 17% 
higher than December 31, 1994.  However, shipments are expected to slow in the 
second half of the year due to normal seasonal influences related to customer 
plant vacation shutdowns and automotive model changeovers, as well as Armco's 
own scheduled maintenance outages.

The Mansfield Operations, while still part of the Other Steel and Fabricated 
Products segment, will use a portion of its capacity to melt and finish 
specialty steels, relieving some of Armco's production constraints.  Sales of 
these specialty steel products will be reported in the Specialty Flat-Rolled 
Steel business segment.  As discussed in the Other Steel and Fabricated 
Products segment, an extended restart of Mansfield's revamped and modernized 
hot strip mill is delaying that operation's return to full production.

In 1994, Armco announced an expanded capital improvement program under which 
it will spend up to $95.0 over the next two years to upgrade and expand its 
specialty steel finishing facilities.  The program is intended to reduce 
existing production constraints by increasing specialty steel finishing 
capacity approximately 180,000 tons per year, particularly in electrical 
steels, specialty sheet and strip products and nonautomotive chrome stainless.

</TABLE>

Net sales increased by 5% in the second quarter of 1995 compared to the same 
period in 1994, primarily due to higher snowplow shipments at Douglas 
Dynamics.  Second quarter net sales from the Mansfield and Dover Operations 
were 13% lower in 1995 compared to 1994, because, although idled at the 
beginning of the second quarter of 1994, Mansfield was selling on-hand coil 
inventory during 1994.  During the second quarter of 1995, Mansfield was not 
operating at full capacity as it was still ramping up production following the 
start-up of the new thin-slab caster and modernized hot strip mill in early 
April.  Sales for the first six months of 1995 were 18% below sales for the 
same period in 1994, reflecting a $44.6 decline in sales at the Mansfield and 
Dover Operations during the first quarter of 1995 versus the first quarter of 
1994.  During the first three months of this year, Mansfield was still idle; 
while, for most of the first quarter of 1994, the plant was operational.

Mansfield and Dover recorded operating losses of $26.1 and $50.1, 
respectively, in the three and six months ended June 30, 1995.  These losses 
were higher than last year by $8.2 and $10.6 for the three and six month 
periods, respectively, excluding the $20.0 special charge.  Lower losses in 
the second quarter of 1994 were the result of the sales of on-hand inventory 
and reduced expenses as the idling became effective.   

Douglas Dynamics' second quarter operating profit was approximately equal to 
last year.  Offsetting the second quarter increase in sales were higher 
overheads related to aggressive new product development efforts.  Although the 
overall pipe market remains sluggish, Sawhill Tubular was able to increase 
sales 3% over last year's second quarter and 8% for the first six months.  
Sawhill's operating results also improved marginally in the 1995 periods.

Outlook:  The Mansfield Operations started up at the beginning of April, 
successfully casting and hot rolling carbon steel.  In addition to installing 
a new caster at Mansfield, Armco renovated and updated the hot strip mill, 
adding automatic gauge controls, new electrical wiring, modernized drive 
systems and other improvements.  Integrating all elements of this revamped 
mill requires a computer model to control set-up and operation, and full 
production is being delayed by problems with the process control model.  Armco 
expects the complete integration of set-up and operating controls by the end 
of the third quarter.  The longer than anticipated hot mill restart, combined 
with weakness in the carbon steel market, is expected to extend start-up 
losses through the third quarter.  

The improvement in second quarter sales at Douglas Dynamics was primarily the 
result of customers taking shipments earlier than in the prior year.  Sales 
and earnings for the snowplow manufacturer are expected to be lower in 1995 
than in 1994, as a result of the lack of snow last winter compared to the 
prior two years.  Sawhill Tubular's operating results are expected to remain 
flat through the end of the year.  

EQUITY AND OTHER INVESTMENTS
----------------------------
In the three and six months ended June 30, 1995, Armco recognized $2.5 and 
$3.6, respectively, of equity income from its investments in joint ventures 
and equity companies.  This compared to $6.5 and $8.1 for the same periods in 
1994. The 1994 income included the results of, and commission income from, 
North American Stainless (NAS), a former 50%-owned joint venture with Acerinox 
S.A.  Armco sold 90% of its investment in NAS in the third quarter of 1994.  
Equity income in both years reflected the results of National-Oilwell, 
including nonrecurring gains of $2.0 and $4.4 for the second quarter of 1995 
and 1994, respectively.  These represented Armco's proportionate share of net 
gains on the sale of National-Oilwell assets.  National-Oilwell, a 50%-owned 
joint venture with USX Corporation, sells oil field tubular pipe, and produces 
and sells drilling and production 
                                    -11-

equipment and process pumps used in the world's oil and gas services industry.  
National-Oilwell's results were as follows:

</TABLE>

In the first quarter of 1995, Armco received a $1.0 cash dividend from 
National-Oilwell.

National-Oilwell maintains its own cash and credit lines and funds its own 
operations, liabilities and capital expenditures.  National-Oilwell has a 
$60.0 credit facility which expires in the first quarter of 1998.

Armco and USX Corporation entered into a letter of intent, dated May 17, 1995, 
to sell their respective partnership interests in National-Oilwell to a group 
including Duff & Phelps/Inverness LLC and Bain Capital.  The sale, which is 
subject to several contingencies, including the buyers obtaining financing for 
the purchase, is expected to close by the end of this year.

On May 4, 1995, Armco announced that it had completed a series of transactions 
resulting in the sale of 1,023,987 shares of AK Steel common stock.  Armco had 
received the stock, which represented approximately 4% of the outstanding 
common stock of AK Steel, in April 1994 as part of the initial public offering 
and recapitalization of that company.  With the completion of these 
transactions, Armco no longer owns any stock in AK Steel.  In connection with 
the sales, Armco realized total net proceeds of $27.2 and recognized gains of 
$1.3, or $0.01 per share, in the first quarter and $25.9, or $0.24 per share, 
in the second quarter of 1995.  Armco will use available capital loss 
carryforwards to offset federal and state income taxes on this gain.

DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS
-----------------------

Armco Financial Services Group
------------------------------

At March 31, 1995, the Armco Financial Services Group consisted primarily of 
insurance companies which Armco intended to sell and which continued 
underwriting policies (AFSG companies to be sold) and insurance companies that 
have stopped writing new business for retention and are being liquidated 
(runoff companies).

AFSG companies to be sold

On April 7, 1995, Armco completed the sale of the AFSG companies to be sold to 
Vik Brothers Insurance Inc., a privately held, North Carolina-based property 
and casualty insurance holding company. The proceeds from the sale, consisted 
of $64.2 in cash at the closing and $15.0 to be received in three years.  The 
latter amount is subject to potential adjustment for adverse experience in 
certain insurance reserves.  Substantially all of the proceeds have been 
pledged as security for certain note obligations due to the runoff companies 
and will be retained in the investment portfolio of those companies.

Runoff companies

The addition of the proceeds from the sale of the AFSG companies to be sold to 
the investment portfolio of the runoff companies is expected to have a long-
term positive effect on the liquidity and future strength of these companies.  

In 1993, Armco recorded reserves totaling approximately $11.5, primarily for 
employee benefit liabilities Armco expected to retain after the sale of the 
AFSG companies to be sold.  As part of the sale agreement, Armco received $4.2 
in cash from the former companies to be sold and assumed an equal amount of 
additional employee benefit obligations from them.  Armco transferred the cash 
and 

                                    -12-
<PAGE>14

all of the above liabilities to the runoff companies in the second quarter of 
1995, concurrent with the closing of the sale of the AFSG companies to be 
sold.  As a result of this transfer, Armco reduced its investment in the 
runoff companies by $11.5 in the second quarter of 1995.

Armco management continues to believe, based on current facts and 
circumstances and the views of outside counsel and advisors, that future 
charges, if any, resulting from the runoff companies will not be material to 
Armco's consolidated financial condition or liquidity.  However, it is 
possible that due to fluctuations in Armco's results, future developments 
could have a material effect on the results of one or more future interim or 
annual periods.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
-------------------------------

At June 30, 1995, Armco had $204.2 of cash and cash equivalents compared to 
$202.8 at December 31, 1994.  In addition, Armco had $1.5 and $25.8 of short-
term liquid investments at June 30, 1995 and December 31, 1994, respectively.  
Total cash and cash equivalents increased $1.4 during the first six months of 
1995, including $23.5 of cash provided by operations, $24.7 from the maturity 
of liquid investments and $50.1 for proceeds on the sale of assets and 
investments.  Offsetting these cash inflows were capital expenditures and 
$12.0 for preferred stock dividends.  Capital expenditures, totaling $97.4, 
included $11.6 of direct project financing related to the Mansfield thin-slab 
caster and $85.8 in cash outflow reported in the Condensed Statement of 
Consolidated Cash Flows.

In addition to the cash on hand, Armco has a $170.0 revolving credit facility 
that expires on December 31, 1995.  At June 30, 1995, $80.7 of the credit 
facility was used as support for letters of credit and $89.3 was available for 
borrowing.  Borrowings under the credit facility are secured by certain of 
Armco's inventories and receivables.  As amended in 1994, the credit agreement 
requires Armco to be in compliance with several covenants and meet certain 
ratio requirements.  Based on its current financial condition and internal 
forecasts through the end of 1995, Armco believes that it will remain in 
compliance with all covenants.

As discussed above, Armco completed the divestments of Eastern Stainless and 
the AFSG companies to be sold in 1995.  Eastern Stainless received $10.1 in 
cash, which will be used to satisfy a portion of the approximately $60.0 of 
liabilities of Eastern Stainless that were assumed by Armco.  Proceeds from 
the sale of the AFSG companies to be sold, totaling $64.2, have been retained 
in the investment portfolio of the runoff companies and will not be available 
to Armco.

Armco anticipates that its 1995 cash expenditures for capital projects will 
total approximately $140.0, including $37.0 for expenditures to complete the 
thin-slab caster at Mansfield, $53.0 of the $95.0 expanded capital improvement 
program and the remainder for normal replacement, environmental and expansion 
programs.  In addition, Armco anticipates that, for the year, a total of $16.2 
of capital expenditures for the thin-slab caster will be funded through direct 
project financing.

Armco has no significant debt commitments due through the end of the year.  
However, Armco expects to contribute up to approximately $65.0 to its major 
pension funds during the remainder of 1995.  The capital expenditures and 
pension funding will be paid out of existing cash balances and cash generated 
from operations and asset sales, including the anticipated sale of an 
industrial park near Houston, Texas.  Upon closing this transaction, which is 
expected by year end, Armco anticipates recognizing a gain.

On July 28, 1995, Armco's Board of Directors declared the regular quarterly 
dividends of $.525 per share on the $2.10 Cumulative Convertible Preferred 
Stock, Class A, and $.90625 per share on the $3.625 Cumulative Convertible 
Preferred Stock, Class A, each payable September 29, 1995 to shareholders of 
record on September 1, 1995.  The Board of Directors also declared the regular 
quarterly dividend of $1.125 per share on the $4.50 Cumulative Convertible 
Preferred Stock, Class B, payable October 2, 1995, to shareholders of record 
on September 1, 1995.  Payment of dividends on Armco's common stock is 
currently prohibited under the terms of certain of Armco's debt instruments 
and under the terms of the amended bank credit agreement.

Part II.     Other Information


Item 1.     Legal Proceedings
             -----------------

There are various claims pending against Armco and its subsidiaries involving 
product liability, antitrust, patent, insurance arrangements, environmental 
and hazardous waste matters, employee benefits and other matters arising out 
of the conduct of the business of Armco as previously described in Armco's 
Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1994 (the Form 10-
K) and Armco's Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 
1995 (the Form 10-Q).  The following summarizes significant developments in 
previously reported matters and any new claims asserted since March 31, 1995:

In the Larry B. Ricke, Trustee v. Armco action, Armco filed a motion seeking 
       --------------------------------
interlocutory appellate review.  This motion was granted on June 6, 1995.  
Armco filed its Brief on July 27, 1995.

In the Adamson v. Armco action, on June 30, 1995, the plaintiffs filed a
       ----------------
petition for certiorari to the U.S. Supreme Court.  Armco filed its Brief in 
Opposition on July 24, 1995.

In the Cornerstones Litigation, on May 11, 1995, the Supreme Court of Texas 
       -----------------------
denied plaintiffs' application for writ of error.  Plaintiffs did not move the 
high court for reconsideration within the prescribed period and, thus, the 
Cornerstones matter has been concluded in favor of Armco.  Three other
------------
homeowner actions patterned after Cornerstones (Adducci, Arthur and
                                  ------------  -------  ------
Irons), along with the severed Kingsbridge claims, remain pending and in
-----                          -----------
discovery.


In the Eastern Stockholder Litigation, the Pension Benefit Guaranty 
       ------------------------------
Corporation, on its own behalf and as class representative for all Class B 
shareholders of Eastern Stainless Corporation (Eastern Stainless), filed suit.  
In accordance with Virginia corporation law, a special independent committee 
of the Board of Directors of Eastern Stainless has been appointed to evaluate 
the merits of plaintiffs' derivative claims.  Following a hearing on June 22, 
1995, the district court declined to stay discovery pending review of the 
matter by the special committee and deferred ruling upon Armco's motion to 
dismiss pending further discovery.   Armco is preparing for discovery.

In the CRS Litigation, on June 30, 1995, the Maryland Court of Appeals denied 
       --------------
CRS Sirrine, Inc.'s petition for further review.  With this ruling by the 
state's highest court, the matter has been conclusively resolved in Armco's 
favor.

In Rosa Ann Barrett, et al. v. Atlantic Richfield Company, et al., the Fifth
   --------------------------------------------------------------
Circuit has granted plaintiffs' motion to reinstate the Barrett appeal.
                                                        -------

In United States of America, State of Maryland v. Azrael, et al. v. Armco 
   ----------------------------------------------------------------------
Steel Corporation, et al., Armco paid approximately $177,000 to settle its 
-------------------------
liability on May 30, 1995.

In the matter involving the Fultz Landfill Superfund Site, the Department of 
Justice filed a complaint against Armco in the U.S. District Court for the 
Southern District of Ohio on July 21, 1995, seeking cost recovery of about 
$4.5 million under the Comprehensive Environmental Responsibility, 
Compensation & Liability Act.

In the matter involving the King River Ltd. Site, Armco conducted the 
remaining cleanup at a cost of approximately $5.3 million; all contaminated 
soil which had previously been excavated has been shipped off-site.  Armco 
believes it has complied with all requirements in the order issued by the 
United States Environmental Protection Agency last year.

The total liability on the foregoing claims and those other claims described 
under ITEM 3.  LEGAL PROCEEDINGS in the Form 10-K or under Item 1 in the Form 
10-Q is not determinable; but in the opinion of management, the ultimate 
liability resulting will not materially affect the consolidated financial 
condition or liquidity of Armco and its subsidiaries; however, it is possible 
that due to fluctuations in Armco's results, future developments with respect 
to changes in the ultimate liability could have a material effect on future 
interim or annual results of operations.

Item 5.     Other Information
            -----------------

On August 10, 1995, Armco entered into an agreement for the sale of its Greens 
Port Industrial Park property, consisting of approximately 500 acres, located 
in Harris County, Texas to John Frantz, as Trustee for an entity to be formed.  
The sale is subject to satisfactory completion of due diligence by the 
purchaser and is expected to close by year end.

Any shareholder proposals intended to be presented at the 1996 annual meeting 
of shareholders must be received by Armco by November 15, 1995, in order to be 
considered for inclusion in the proxy statement and form of proxy for that 
meeting.  Shareholders intending to nominate director candidates for election 
at the 1996 annual meeting of shareholders must deliver written notice, 
including specified information, to the Secretary of Armco, at its offices at 
One Oxford Centre, 301 Grant Street, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania 15219-1415, by 
January 29, 1996.

           10-Q:

                                     including Duff & Phelps/Inverness LLC and
                                     Bain Capital.
