            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
September 30, 1996 and for the three-month and nine-month periods ended
September 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.

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, 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 $144.2 million 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, Inland Steel Company made a tender offer for all $125 million 
principal amount outstanding of its Series T First Mortgage Bonds.  In the 
third quarter of 1996, Inland Steel Company recognized an extraordinary 
after-tax loss on the early retirement of the $98.7 million of bonds tendered 
approximating $7.5 million, $11.6 million before income taxes.

On June 28, 1996, Ryerson Tull, Inc. 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 Inland Steel Company) increased their 
committed credit facilities to $375 million, all of which were unused at 
September 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 $65 million on September 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 Third Quarter 1996 to Third Quarter 1995

   The Company reported consolidated net income of $8.5 million, $.13 per
share, in the 1996 third quarter as compared with $20.0 million, $.33 per
share, in the year-earlier period.  Included in the 1996 third quarter's net
income was an extraordinary loss of $8.8 million, $.18 per share, on the early
redemption of debt.  In the year-earlier quarter, the Company benefited by $.05
per share as a result of adjustments to workforce reduction and other reserves.
Excluding the effects of the extraordinary loss and adjustments, earnings per
share would have been $.31 per share in the 1996 third quarter as compared with
$.28 per share in the year-ago quarter.

   Consolidated net sales of $1.12 billion decreased one percent from last
year.  Lower selling prices at both of the Company's business segments were
offset by an improved mix of products sold at the Steel Manufacturing segment
and higher volume at the Materials Distribution segment.

   The Steel Manufacturing segment's reported net sales of $574.9 million were
virtually unchanged from third quarter 1995 net sales.  Average selling price
remained unchanged from the third quarter of last year as an improved mix of
products sold offset lower selling prices.  The volume of steel mill products
sold increased minimally.  Operating profit decreased to $24.9 million from
$39.2 million.  Last year's operating profit included $15.2 million of reserve
adjustments that favorably impacted operating results.  Excluding those
adjustments, operating profit improved slightly quarter to quarter.

   The Materials Distribution segment net sales of $592.3 million increased
slightly from the 1995 third quarter.  A 12 percent increase in tons shipped
was almost entirely offset by a lower average selling price.  Operating profit
decreased by $2.3 million to $26.3 million due primarily to an erosion in gross
margin, the difference between selling price and material cost.  Mitigating the
gross margin erosion was a reduction in operating cost per ton excluding
material cost from $189 in the year-earlier quarter to $173 in the 1996 third
quarter.

Comparison of First Nine Months of 1996 to First Nine Months of 1995

   The Company reported net income of $44.9 million for the first nine months
of 1996 compared with net income of $121.9 million for the comparable 1995
period.  While sharply reduced levels of operating profit at the Steel
Manufacturing segment were the principal reason for the decline, operating
profit at the Materials Distribution segment also decreased.

   Consolidated net sales of $3.46 billion for the first nine months of 1996
were 5 percent lower than the $3.66 billion realized in the comparable 1995
period, the result of lower average selling prices.

   The Steel Manufacturing segment net sales of $1.80 billion in the first nine
months of 1996 were 6 percent lower than that reported in the 1995 period, due
entirely to a lower average selling price.  Steel mill shipments increased by
less than one percent on a comparable period-to-period basis.  Lower average
selling price was also the primary factor in the decline in operating profit to
$48.8 million from $160.1 million a year ago.

   Net sales of $1.83 billion for the Materials Distribution segment were 3
percent lower than the first nine months of 1995 due to lower average selling
price as volume increased 6 percent on a year-to-year basis.  The lower average
selling price was also responsible for the decrease in operating profit to
$95.6 million from $111.6 million a year ago.  As in the quarter, operating
cost per ton excluding material cost declined, going from $183 per ton in the
first nine months of 1995 to $173 per ton in the comparable 1996 period.

Liquidity and Financing

   The Company's cash and cash equivalents were $288.9 million at September 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 Inland Steel Company) increased their total committed 
credit facilities to $375 million as a result.

   In 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 a majority of the 12-3/4% Notes to amendments to
the indenture governing the Notes. See Item 2 of Part II of the Company's 
Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 1996.

   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.

   During the 1996 third quarter, Inland Steel Company made a tender offer for
the entire $125 million principal amount of its Series T First Mortgage Bonds
outstanding, of which $98.7 million was tendered.  In connection with the
tender offer, Inland Steel Company solicited and received consents from the
holders of a majority of the Series T Bonds to amendments to the indenture
governing the bonds.  See Item 2 of Part II of the Inland Steel Company Form
10-Q for the quarter ended September 30, 1996.  Inland Steel Company also
refinanced $38 million of 10 percent pollution control bonds with bonds bearing
a rate of 7.25 percent.  As a result of these redemptions, Inland Steel Company
recognized an extraordinary after-tax loss of approximately $8.8 million, $13.6
million before income taxes, in the third quarter of 1996.

SUBSEQUENT EVENT

   Inland Steel Company has reached an agreement with Sun Coal and Coke Company
and a unit of NIPSCO Industries for a heat recovery coke battery and an
associated energy recovery and flue-gas desulphurization facility, to be
located at Inland's Indiana Harbor Works.  Sun will design, build, finance and
operate the cokemaking portion of the project.  A unit of NIPSCO Industries
will design, build, finance and operate the portion of the project which will
clean the coke plant's flue gas and convert the heat into steam and
electricity.  Sun, the NIPSCO unit and other third parties will invest
approximately $350 million in the project.  Inland Steel Company has committed
to purchase, for approximately 15 years, 1.2 million tons of coke annually from
the facility on a take-or-pay basis, as well as energy produced by the facility
through a tolling arrangement.  Inland Steel Company will also advance
approximately $30 million during construction of the project which will be
credited against the energy tolling arrangement.

                          PART II.  OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1.  LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

          In October 1996, Inland Steel Company received a notification from
          the Indiana Department of Environmental Management, as lead
          administrative trustee, that the natural resource trustees (which
          also include the Indiana Department of Natural Resources, the U. S.
          Department of the Interior, Fish and Wildlife Service and the
          National Park Service) intend to perform a natural resource damage
          assessment on the Grand Calumet River and Indiana Harbor Canal
          system.  The notification further states that Inland Steel Company
          has been identified as a potentially responsible party in connection
          with the release of hazardous substances and oil and the subsequent
          damages resulting from natural resource injury.  Because of the
          preliminary nature of this matter, it is not possible at this time to
          predict the amount of Inland Steel Company's potential liability or
          whether such potential liability could materially affect the
          Company's financial position.

                       ASSUMPTION AND AMENDMENT AGREEMENT

  This  assumption and  amendment  agreement made  and  entered  into as  of
July 24,  1996  by and  among  Inland  Steel Industries, Inc., a Delaware
corporation (Inland), Ryerson Tull,  Inc., a Delaware  corporation (Ryerson
Tull),  and Neil S. Novich (Novich), presently residing at 431 Washington
Avenue, Wilmette, Illinois.

  WHEREAS,  Novich and  Inland entered  into two  agreements  on  April 8,
1994, one  relating to  the terms  of Novich's employment with  Inland and  its
subsidiaries (the Employment Agreement) and  the other  relating to
severance  in the event that  Novich's employment was terminated by Inland
prior to the third anniversary of his employment (the "Severance Agreement")
(collectively referred to as the "Agreements");

  WHEREAS,  Novich thereafter  was  elected to  the  positions, among  others,
of Senior  Vice  President of  Inland  and President and Chief Operating
Officer of Ryerson Tull;

  WHEREAS, Inland subsequently sold a portion of the stock of Ryerson Tull to
the public;

  WHEREAS, Novich  thereafter was elected President and Chief Executive Officer
of Ryerson Tull  and, to devote his entire efforts to Ryerson Tull, chose not
to be re-elected as an officer of Inland; and

  WHEREAS,  Inland,  Ryerson Tull  and Novich  desire  to assure  that  each of
them  receives the  full  benefit  of the Agreements through June 15, 1997.

  THE PARTIES hereto agree,  in consideration of the  premises, the mutual
agreements herein set forth  and other good and valuable consideration, the
receipt of which is hereby acknowledged, as follows:

         1.  Ryerson  Tull hereby assumes  primary responsibility for
performing  each and every  remaining obligation of Inland pursuant to the
Agreements.

         2.  The parties  hereby agree that the term "Company" as used  in the
Severance Agreement and paragraphs 2 and 5 of the Employment Agreement shall
mean Ryerson Tull.

                                      -14-

         3.  Inland will continue to be responsible for every obligation agreed
to by it pursuant to the Agreements only to the extent any such obligation is
not fully performed by Ryerson Tull.

         4.  Paragraph 1 of the Employment Agreement is hereby amended to
provide that Novich's titles will be President and Chief Executive Officer of
Ryerson Tull. Novich will rely on Ryerson Tull as the primary obligor
under the Agreements, and will hold Inland responsible for obligations
imposed by the Agreements only if and when Ryerson Tull has refused or failed
to perform such obligations.

         IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties have signed this Assumption and
Amendment Agreement as of the date first above written.
