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, 2000 and for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2000 and 1999 are
unaudited, but in the opinion of management include all adjustments, consisting
of normal recurring 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 on
Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1999.

NOTE 2/ACQUISITION

     On January 31, 1999, the Company completed the acquisition of Washington
Specialty Metals Corporation, an eight-location metals service center
specializing in value-added stainless steel. The Company purchased all of the
outstanding stock of Washington Specialty Metals for approximately $70 million.
The acquisition has been accounted for by the purchase method of accounting and
the purchase price has been allocated to assets acquired and liabilities
assumed. Goodwill arising from the acquisition will be amortized using the
straight-line method over 25 years.

NOTE 3/MERGER

     On February 25, 1999, the Company and the pre-merger Ryerson Tull, Inc.
("RT") merged and each share of RT Class A common stock was converted into 0.61
share of Company common stock. Upon consummation of the merger, the Company
changed its name from Inland Steel Industries, Inc. to Ryerson Tull, Inc. The
merger has been accounted for as a purchase for financial reporting purposes.
Under the purchase method of accounting, the assets and liabilities of RT in
proportion to the 13% minority interest were recorded at their fair values at
the effective time of the merger.

Item 2.   Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
Results of Operations

Results of Operations - Comparison of First Quarter 2000 to First Quarter 1999
- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------

For the first quarter of 2000, the Company reported consolidated net income of
$11.0 million, or 44 cents per diluted share as compared with $9.8 million, or
42 cents per diluted share in the year-ago quarter. Included in the first
quarter 2000 results was a pre-tax charge of $4.5 million for costs associated
with the closure of facilities in Minneapolis, Minnesota and Long Island City,
New York, primarily for severance and asset write-offs. Additionally, the
Company recorded a $0.8 million pretax charge to write down the investment in
the Ryerson de Mexico joint venture as a result of the announced sale of such
interest to the joint venture partner, Altos Hornos de Mexico S.A. de C.V.
Offsetting these charges was a $4.4 million pre-tax pension curtailment gain
reflecting changes in the retirement benefit structure at a subsidiary. This
change makes retirement benefits for salaried employees consistent across all
subsidiaries.

Sales for the first quarter of 2000 increased 14 percent to $786.3 million from
the same period a year ago. Volume increased 12 percent while average selling
price increased 2 percent.

Despite the improvement in the average selling price, gross profit per ton
declined to $182 in the first quarter of 2000 from $192 in the year-ago quarter
due to the Company's inability to pass along fully the increase in material
costs to customers. Gross profit margin declined from 22.8% a year ago to 21.1%
in the first quarter. However, productivity gains and continued expense control
helped offset most of the loss in gross profit margins. Expenses, defined as
operating expenses plus depreciation and amortization, were reduced to $152 per
ton in the first quarter of 2000 from $161 per ton in the first quarter of 1999.
As a result, operating profit per ton for the first quarter of 2000 was $30 per
ton, compared to $31 per ton a year ago.

For the quarter, operating profit increased 5.3 percent from the year ago
period, from $25.5 million to $26.9 million.

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

The Company had cash and cash equivalents at March 31, 2000 of $23.7 million
compared to $39.5 million at December 31, 1999. At March 31, 2000, the Company
had outstanding short-term borrowings of $38 million under the Company's lines
of credit.

On February 1, 2000, the Company redeemed the $7 million outstanding principal
amount of the Port of Portland Variable Rate Industrial Revenue Refunding Bonds
("IRB") due November 1, 2007 at par value. The Company also cancelled the $7
million letter of credit supporting this IRB.

The Company has a committed bank revolving credit facility of $250 million that
extends until September 5, 2002. The revolving credit agreement contains
covenants that, among other things, limit the amount of dividends and stock
repurchases and restrict the amount of additional debt. The maximum amount of
dividend payments or share repurchases that could have been made as of March 31,
2000, was $118 million. During the first quarter of 2000, two uncommitted and
unsecured lines of credit totaling $20 million were established.

The indenture under which $250 million of debt was issued in 1996 ("RT Notes")
contains covenants limiting, among other things, the creation of secured
indebtedness, sale and leaseback transactions, the repurchase of capital stock,
transactions with affiliates and mergers, consolidations and certain sale of
assets. In addition, the RT Notes restrict the payment of dividends, although to
a lesser extent than the bank credit facility described above. Effective with
the merger of RT and the Company on February 26, 1999, the Company assumed the
RT Notes.

ISC Sale Contingencies
- ----------------------

The Agreement and Plan of Merger among Ispat International, N.V. ("Ispat"),
Inland Merger Sub, Inc., Inland Steel Industries, Inc. (now named Ryerson Tull,
Inc.), and Inland Steel Company (now named Ispat Inland, Inc.) dated May 27,
1998, as amended (the "Merger Agreement") provides that the Company indemnify
Ispat for specified losses and expenses. As previously disclosed, by letter
dated May 11, 1999, Ispat advised the Company of its involvement in a civil
lawsuit and federal criminal grand jury proceeding in Louisiana and notified the
Company of its intention to seek indemnification from the Company in connection
with the Louisiana proceedings. See "Management's Discussion of Operations and
Financial Condition - ISC Sale Contingencies," incorporated by reference under
Item 7 of the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for 1999.

                                       7
<PAGE>

In letters dated March 31, 2000, Ispat notified the Company that Ispat was
asserting claims against the Company under the Merger Agreement related to
certain pension liabilities, insurance premiums, property taxes, environmental
matters, intellectual property and the Louisiana proceedings. Ispat also stated
that it does not consider the Company's liability with respect to the Louisiana
proceedings to be limited by the $90 million cap on indemnification for breaches
of representations and warranties in the Merger Agreement but intends to pursue
all other remedies, both under the Merger Agreement and otherwise, if its losses
in that matter were to exceed $90 million. In its Annual Report on Form 10-K for
1999 dated March 30, 2000, Ispat disclosed that it had agreed to extend the
statute of limitations for the filing of any criminal charges against it in the
Louisiana proceedings through September 30, 2000. Ispat also again stated that
if a potential claim by the U.S. Attorney were successfully proven with respect
to the Louisiana proceedings and the damages asserted were established, it would
be material to Ispat Inland's financial position and results of operations, but
that it was unable at the present stage of these proceedings to determine the
extent of its potential liability, if any, and whether the Louisiana proceedings
could materially affect its financial condition or results of operations. The
Company is unable to determine at this time whether the foregoing would affect
its financial condition or results of operations.


                          PART II.  OTHER INFORMATION
                          ---------------------------


Item 1.   Legal Proceedings.

From time to time, the Company is named as a defendant in legal actions arising
in the ordinary course of its business. The Company is a party to the following
pending legal proceedings in addition to routine litigation incidental to its
business. Management does not believe that the resolution of these claims will
have a material adverse effect on the Company's financial condition or results
of operations.

On July 20, 1999, the Company commenced a tender offer to repurchase a portion
of its outstanding shares. On August 5, 1999, Greenway Partners, L.P. and
related parties ("Greenway") filed suit in the Delaware Chancery Court seeking
to enjoin the Company from consummating the tender offer. Greenway alleged that
given the number of shares of Common Stock that it owned, the size of the tender
offer and the terms of the Company's rights agreement, Greenway was coerced into
tendering its shares of Common Stock in the tender offer or risk being declared
an "adverse person" by the Company's Board of Directors, triggering the
separation of the rights under the Company's rights agreement. The court denied
Greenway's request for a temporary restraining order, and Greenway tendered all
of its Common Stock into the offer. Greenway reserved its rights to seek
appropriate remedies, including rescission of the purchase of its approximately
2.9 million shares of Common Stock or damages. The suit was dismissed in March
2000.

On September 23, 1999, the Company issued a press release stating that it had
offered to acquire all of the outstanding publicly held shares of its then
majority-owned subsidiary, then named Ryerson Tull, Inc. ("Pre-merger Ryerson
Tull") Class A common stock in a merger transaction, pursuant to which the Pre-
merger Ryerson Tull stockholders (other than the Company and its subsidiaries)
would receive 0.54 of a share of Common Stock for each share of Pre-merger
Ryerson Tull Class A common stock (the "Proposal").

After the September 23, 1999 public announcement of the Proposal, three lawsuits
were filed by certain Pre-merger Ryerson Tull stockholders in the Delaware Court
of Chancery against the Company, Pre-merger Ryerson Tull and certain directors
of the Company and Pre-merger Ryerson Tull. These lawsuits were purported class
actions on behalf of all Pre-merger Ryerson Tull stockholders and alleged that
the Proposal was unfair and inadequate because, among other things, the
intrinsic value of the Pre-merger Ryerson Tull Class A common stock was
allegedly materially in excess of the Proposal's exchange ratio. The lawsuits
also alleged that the Company breached its duty of loyalty to Pre-merger Ryerson
Tull stockholders by using its control of Pre-merger Ryerson Tull to seek to
force Pre-merger Ryerson Tull stockholders to exchange their equity interest in
Pre-merger Ryerson Tull for unfair consideration. The lawsuits sought to enjoin
consummation of the Proposal or, in the alternative, request rescission and
monetary damages. The lawsuits were dismissed without prejudice by the Court of
Chancery in March 2000.

               was asserting claims against the Company under the Merger
               Agreement among Ispat, Inland Merger Sub, Inc., the Company
               (f/k/a Inland Steel Industries, Inc.) and Inland Steel Company
               (now named Ispat Inland, Inc.) dated May 27, 1998 as amended (the

               intellectual property and the civil lawsuit filed against Ispat

               consider the Company's liability with respect to the Louisiana
               proceedings to be limited by the $90 million cap on
               indemnification for breaches of representations and warranties in
               the Merger Agreement but intends to pursue all other remedies,
               both under the Merger Agreement and otherwise, if its losses in
               that matter were to exceed $90 million.
