            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
March 31, 1997 and for the three-month periods ended March 31, 1997 and 1996 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,
1996.

NOTE 2/ACQUISITIONS

During the first quarter of 1997, the Company, through its majority-owned
subsidiary Ryerson Tull, Inc., acquired Thypin Steel Co., Inc. and Cardinal
Metals, Inc. for an aggregate $130.2 million in cash. The acquisitions were
accounted for as purchases. Results of operations since acquisition for each
company are included in consolidated results. The pro forma effect for 1997 and
1996 had these acquisitions occurred at the beginning of each such year is not
material.


NOTE 3/EARNINGS PER SHARE

The Company is required to adopt Financial Accounting Standards Board Statement 
No. 128, "Earnings per Share," at year-end 1997. Basic and Diluted Earning
per Share as defined in that Statement are not materially different from the
Primary and Fully Diluted Earning per Share amounts presented.


NOTE 4/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, decreased to $49 million on March 31, 1997 from $53 million
on December 31, 1996.

Item 2.


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


RESULTS OF OPERATIONS - Comparison of First Quarter 1997 to First Quarter 1996
- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------

      The Company reported consolidated net income of $31.2 million for the
first quarter of 1997 compared with net income of $17.2 million in the
comparable year-earlier period. Increased operating profit at the Steel
Manufacturing segment was the principal reason for the improvement. Also
contributing to the higher net income was lower consolidated interest expense
resulting from the recapitalization of the Company in the second and third
quarter of 1996, and the $85 million payment in December of 1996 on the
Company's Subordinated Voting Note.

      Consolidated net sales increased 2 percent to $1.21 billion in the 1997
first quarter from $1.18 billion in the year-ago quarter due to the inclusion of
net sales related to the Materials Distribution segment acquisitions discussed
below. Excluding the acquisitions, net sales decreased less than 1 percent.

      The Steel Manufacturing segment's net sales of $606.6 million in the first
quarter of 1997 represented a 1 percent reduction from a year ago. While the
volume of steel mill products shipped decreased 5 percent to 1,260,000 tons, the
average selling price increased 4 percent from the 1996 first quarter. As a
result of the higher average selling price and a lower operating cost per ton,
operating profit increased to $38.3 million from $12.6 million a year earlier.

      In March, the Company, through its Inland Steel Company subsidiary,
announced that it reached an agreement to sell its 15 percent interest in the
Wabush Iron Ore mine. The transaction is expected to be completed during the
1997 second quarter.

      Net sales at the Materials Distribution segment increased 6 percent to
$660.7 million due to the inclusion of results of Thypin Steel Co., Inc. and
Cardinal Metals, Inc. since the dates of their acquisitions. Increases in volume
at Ryerson and Tull, excluding that related to the acquisitions, were offset by
lower average selling price. Operating profit in the current quarter declined
$1.6 million to $35.0 million due primarily to the lower average selling price.
The 1997 first quarter was favorably impacted by a $2.0 million pretax gain on
the sale of the segment's Jersey City plant, which was closed in 1995.

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

      The Company's cash and cash equivalents were $89.7 million at March 31,
1997, compared with $238.0 million at year-end 1996. The decrease was primarily
due to the acquisitions at the Materials Distribution segment and the repayment
of debt assumed in the acquisitions. At March 31, 1997, there was $8 million of
short-term borrowing compared with no short-term borrowing at year-end 1996.
