            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, 1996 and for the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 1996
and 1995 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 to Stockholders for the year ended
December 31, 1995.

NOTE 2/RECAPITALIZATION

In the 1996 second quarter, the Company undertook a recapitalization that
involved the Company and both its Inland Steel Company ("ISC") and Ryerson Tull,
Inc. ("RT") subsidiaries. As part of the restructuring, RT, formerly Inland
Materials Distribution Group, Inc. ("IMDG"), exchanged existing shares of IMDG
common stock, all of which were owned by the Company, for 34.0 million shares of
new-issue RT Series B common stock ($1.00 par value per share). RT also sold 5.2
million shares of new-issue Series A common stock ($1.00 par value per share) in
a public offering, the net proceeds of which approximated $77.1 million. The
Company recognized a $31.4 million gain on the sale of the RT Series A common
stock. (Minority interest in second quarter 1996 net income was $47,000.)

Prior to the issuance of the Series A common stock, RT declared and paid
dividends of $445.9 million to the Company, of which $152.1 million was in cash
and $293.8 million was in the form of a note payable. The Company used $63.2
million of the cash dividend to repay intercompany borrowing from RT and its
subsidiaries.

In July (subsequent to the date of the balance sheet presented in the attached
financial statements), RT sold $150 million of 8-1/2% Notes due July 15, 2001
and $100 million of 9-1/8% Notes due July 15, 2006 in a public offering. The net
proceeds of the offering along with a portion of RT's cash on hand was used to
pay the $293.8 million note balance due the Company.

The Company's recapitalization efforts also included the following:

Effective April 30, 1996, that portion of the Company's Pension plan covering
RT's current and former employees was separated and became a new plan. Due to
this separation, the Company remeasured each subsidiary's benefit obligation
using plan data and actuarial assumptions as of April 30, 1996, including an
increase in the discount rate from 7.75 percent used previously to 8.0 percent.
Primarily as a result of the change in the discount rate, the intangible pension
asset and the offsetting additional minimum liability in deferred employee
benefits were no longer required.

In June 1996, the Company made a tender offer for the entire $150 million
principal amount outstanding of the Company's 12-3/4% Notes. The early
retirement of $144,150,000 of Notes that were tendered resulted in the Company
recognizing an extraordinary after-tax loss of $14.5 million, $23.3 million
before income taxes, in the 1996 second quarter.

            NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)

================================================================================

In July 1996, ISC commenced a tender offer for all $125 million principal amount
outstanding of its Series T First Mortgage Bonds. In the third quarter of 1996,
ISC will recognize an extraordinary after-tax loss on the early retirement of
the $98.7 million of bonds tendered approximating $7.7 million, $11.6 million
before income taxes.

On June 28, 1996, RT established a new four-year $250 million credit facility at
the parent company. The $200 million Ryerson facility and the $25 million Tull
facility were concurrently terminated. As a result, the Company's subsidiaries
(including ISC) increased their committed credit facilities to $375 million, all
of which were unused at June 30, 1996.

NOTE 3/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, increased to $76 million on June 30, 1996 from $61 million
on December 31, 1995.

ITEM 2.

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

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS - Comparison of Second Quarter 1996 to Second Quarter 1995
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

   For the 1996 second quarter, the Company reported consolidated net income of
$19.2 million compared with net income of $57.9 million in the comparable year-
earlier period. As in the first quarter, lower operating profit at the Steel
Manufacturing segment was the principal reason for the decline. Operating profit
at the Materials Distribution segment was also down from the year-ago period.
Also during the quarter, the Company recorded a pre-tax gain from the issuance
of Ryerson Tull Series A common stock which was offset in large part by an
extraordinary loss on the early redemption of $144,150,000 of the Company's 
12-3/4% Notes.

   Consolidated net sales decreased 9 percent to $1.16 billion in the 1996
second quarter from $1.27 billion in the comparable 1995 quarter, primarily as
the result of a deterioration in average selling price.

   The Steel Manufacturing segment's net sales of $604.9 million in the 1996
second quarter fell 12 percent from the year-ago period. While the volume of
steel mill products shipped slipped 2 percent to 1,316,000 tons, the average
selling price fell 10 percent from the year-ago period reflecting a
deterioration in prices. Operating profit decreased to $11.3 million from $69.6
million in the comparable 1995 quarter, due primarily to the lower average
selling price.

   The Materials Distribution segment's net sales decreased by 4 percent to
$607.5 million in the current quarter from $631.7 million in the 1995 second
quarter due to a 10 percent decrease in average selling price, which was offset
in part by a 7 percent increase in volume. Operating profit in the current
quarter declined to $32.7 million from $41.0 million, due primarily to the lower
average selling price.

Comparison of First Six Months of 1996 to First Six Months of 1995
- ------------------------------------------------------------------

   The Company reported net income of $36.4 million for the first six months of
1996 compared with net income of $101.9 million for the comparable 1995 period.
While sharply reduced levels of operating profit at the Steel Manufacturing
segment was the principal reason for the decline, operating profit at the
Materials Distribution segment also was lower. In addition, the half, as was the
quarter, was impacted by the gain from the issuance of Ryerson Tull stock and
the extraordinary loss on the early retirement of $144,150,000 of the Company's
12-3/4% Notes.

   Consolidated first half 1996 net sales of $2.34 billion were 7 percent lower
than the $2.53 billion realized in the comparable 1995 period, the result of
lower average selling prices.

   The Steel Manufacturing segment net sales of $1.22 billion in the first six
months of 1996 were $116.5 million, or 9 percent, lower than that reported in
the 1995 first half, due entirely to a lower average selling price. Steel mill
shipments were up by less than one percent on a comparable period-to-period
basis. The lower average selling price was also the primary factor in the
decline of first half operating profit to $23.9 million from $120.9 million a
year ago.

   Net sales of $1.23 billion for the Materials Distribution segment were 4
percent lower than the first six months of 1995 due to lower average selling
price as volume increased 4 percent on a year-to-year basis. The lower average
selling price was also responsible for the decrease in operating profit to $69.3
million from $83.0 million a year ago.

Liquidity and Financing
- -----------------------

   The Company's cash and cash equivalents were $174.2 million at June 30, 1996
compared with $267.4 million at year-end 1995. There was no short-term borrowing
at either date.

   In June of 1996, Ryerson Tull issued 5.2 million shares of its Series A
common stock, the net proceeds of which approximated $77.1 million. The Company
recognized a gain on the sale of the Ryerson Tull stock of approximately $31.4
million.

   Ryerson Tull established a new four-year $250 million credit facility prior
to the end of the second quarter. The $200 million Ryerson facility and the $25
million Tull facility were concurrently terminated. The Company's subsidiaries
(including ISC) increased their total committed credit facilities to $375
million as a result.

   During June, the Company tendered for all outstanding 12-3/4% Notes of the
Company. Of the $150 million principal amount outstanding, $144,150,000 was
tendered. The Company recognized an extraordinary after-tax loss of $14.5
million, $23.3 million before income taxes, as a result of this transaction. In 
connection with the tender offer, the Company solicited and received consents 
from the holders of at least a majority of the 12-3/4% Notes to amendments to 
the indenture governing the Notes. See Item 2 of Part II of this Form 10-Q.

   In July, Ryerson Tull issued $250 million principal amount of Notes
consisting of $150 million of 8-1/2% Notes due July 15, 2001 and $100 million of
9-1/8% Notes due July 15, 2006.

   Also in July, Inland Steel Company commenced a tender offer for the entire
$125 million principal amount of its Series T First Mortgage Bonds outstanding.
Of that amount, $98.7 million was tendered which will result in Inland Steel
Company recognizing an extraordinary after-tax loss of approximately $7.7
million, $11.6 million before income taxes, in the third quarter of 1996.

ITEM 2.  CHANGES IN SECURITIES

     (a) In connection with a tender offer for all $150,000,000 aggregate
         principal of its 12-3/4% Notes, ISI solicited and received consents
         from the holders of at least a majority of the aggregate principal
         amount of the Notes to amendments to the indenture (the "Indenture"),
         dated as of December 15, 1992, between ISI and Harris Trust and Savings
         Bank, as trustee (the "Trustee"), governing the Notes. ISI and the
         Trustee executed a supplemental indenture dated as of June 19,1996,
         reflecting the amendments. The Amendments became effective on June 26,
         1996.

         The amendments to the Indenture eliminated covenants that, subject in
         each case to certain exceptions, (i) restricted the incurrence of
         additional indebtedness by ISI, (ii) restricted the incurrence of debt
         and the issuance of preferred stock by "Restricted Subsidiaries" (as
         defined in the Indenture), (iii) restricted (a) the payment of
         dividends or distributions by ISI on its capital stock, (b) the
         acquisition by ISI or any of its subsidiaries of the capital stock of
         ISI or any of its subsidiaries or any options, warrants or rights to
         purchase or acquire shares of capital stock of ISI or any of its
         subsidiaries, (c) investments by ISI or any of its subsidiaries in
         other persons and (d) the payment or redemption prior to maturity of
         "Debt" (as defined in the Indenture) of ISI that is subordinate to the
         Notes (transactions described in clauses (a) through (d) being referred

     The Company has offered to purchase for cash all of the Outstanding

     The Tender Offer was commenced by the Company pursuant to its Offer to
Purchase and Consent Solicitation dated May 20, 1996 (as the same may be amended
and supplemented through the date hereof, the "Offer to Purchase").

     In connection with the Tender Offer, the Company solicited consents (the

     This Supplemental Indenture evidences the Proposed Amendments described in
the Offer to Purchase.

     In accordance with Section 902 of the Original Indenture, the Holders of
record as of June 19, 1996 (the record date fixed under Section 104(c) of the
Original Indenture for the purpose of determining the Holders entitled to give
consents to the Proposed Amendments) of at least a majority in aggregate
principal amount of the Outstanding Securities by Act of said Holders delivered
to the Company and the Trustee have consented to the Proposed Amendments.

     The Company has done all things necessary to make this Supplemental
Indenture a valid agreement of the Company in accordance with the terms of the
Original Indenture and has satisfied all other conditions required under Article
Nine of the Original Indenture, including delivery to the Trustee of an Opinion
of Counsel relating to this Supplemental Indenture as contemplated by Section
903 of the Original Indenture.

     NOW, THEREFORE, it is mutually agreed, for the equal and proportionate
benefit of all Holders of the Securities, as follows:
