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, 2000 and for the three-month and nine-month periods ended
September 30, 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 February 1, 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 $66 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 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.

NOTE 5/RESTRUCTURING CHARGE

In the second quarter of 2000, the Company recorded a restructuring charge of
$23.3 million. The charge is the result of realigning geographic divisions to
improve responsiveness to local markets, exiting non-core businesses and
centralizing administrative services to achieve economies of scale. Included in
the charge is severance for 319 employees. As of September 30, 2000, 122
employees have separated from the Company as a result of the restructuring
initiative. Details of the restructuring charge are as follows:

It is expected that the restructuring actions will be substantially completed by
year-end 2000.



NOTE 6/TAXES

The effective tax rate has changed from the prior periods due to an increase in
permanent tax differences arising from the restructuring charge and an increase
in the proportion of permanent differences to pretax income.

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

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

For the third quarter of 2000, the Company reported a consolidated net loss of
$3.6 million, or 15 cents per diluted share, as compared with net income of $9.6
million, or 38 cents per diluted share, from continuing operations in the year-
ago quarter.

Third quarter 2000 net sales of $695.6 million were 1 percent higher than the
comparable quarter a year ago. Volume decreased 4 percent while average selling
price increased 5 percent. Most of the increase in average selling price is
attributable to surcharges on stainless product, which are directly passed
through to the customers.

Gross profit per ton declined to $169 in the third quarter of 2000 from $188 in
the year-ago quarter due to the Company's inability to pass along all of the
increase in material costs to customers. Gross profit margin declined from 22.8
percent a year ago to 19.5 percent in the third quarter. Expenses, defined as
operating expenses plus depreciation and amortization, increased on a per ton
basis to $164 per ton in the third quarter from $161 per ton a year ago due to
lower volume.

Operating profit of $3.9 million was 83 percent lower than the $22.7 million
operating profit recorded in the year ago quarter.

Interest expense of $8.4 million increased 62 percent from a year ago due to
increased short-term borrowings, given the higher level of working capital this
year.


Results of Operations - Comparison of First Nine Months 2000 to First Nine
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Months 1999
-----------

For the first nine months of 2000, the Company reported a consolidated net loss
of $6.2 million, or 26 cents per diluted share. Net income in the year-ago
period was $47.0 million, consisting of $29.7 million from continuing operations
and $17.3 million from an adjustment to taxes for the gain on the sale of Inland
Steel Company. Included in the 2000 results are restructuring and plant closure
charges of $27.8 million pretax and a $4.4 million pretax pension curtailment
gain.

Net sales of $2.2 billion increased 7 percent from the first nine months of 1999
as volume increased 3 percent and selling prices increased 4 percent.

Excluding the restructuring and plant closure costs in both periods and the
pension curtailment gain, operating profit decreased 43 percent to $44.4 million
from $78.1 million in the year-ago period.

Interest expense of $21.5 million increased 17 percent from the first nine
months of 1999 resulting from increased short-term borrowings this year.


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

The Company had cash and cash equivalents at September 30, 2000 of $17.7
million, compared to $39.5 million at December 31, 1999. At September 30,
2000, the Company had outstanding short-term borrowings of $161.1 million
under the Company's lines of credit. During the first nine months of 2000,
the Company's cash flow from operating activities was a negative $142.8
million, primarily due to a significant increase in working capital.

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.

On June 21, 2000, the Company purchased and retired $4.8 million of the $150
million 8.5% Notes maturing on July 15, 2001. On August 28, 2000, the Company
purchased and retired an additional $3.0 million of the $150 million 8.5% Notes
maturing on July 15, 2001.

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 September
30, 2000, was $107 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 sales 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.

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; and disclosed in its Form 10-Q
for the Third Quarter 2000 dated November  , 2000 that such date was extended to
December 30, 2000.

In its Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for the Second Quarter 2000, dated August
7, 2000, and for the Third Quarter 2000 dated November 7, 2000 Ispat disclosed
that it is investigating the factual basis of such a claim; whether any of the
coated culvert is defective and, if so, the extent of such defects and the
remedial options; the method by which damages would be calculated if the claims
were established; and the relative responsibilities of other corporate
defendants to satisfy such a claim. Ispat also stated that, in cooperation with
the U.S Attorney and federal and state highway officials, Ispat has conducted
field inspections and analysis of many of the coated culverts at issue and that
Ispat is holding discussions with the U.S. Attorney and co-defendants. Ispat
again in its Form 10-Q for the Third Quarter 2000 dated November 7, 2000
stated that at this stage, it is unable to determine the outcome and resulting
liability, if any, relating to this matter, and whether this matter could
materially affect Ispat's financial position 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.

     (b)  Reports on Form 8-K.

          On September 18, 2000, the Company filed a Current Report on Form 8-K,
          reporting under Item 5--Other Events, announcing, via a press release
          dated September 15, 2000, that it expects shipments and gross margins
          in the third quarter of 2000 to decline from second quarter levels due
          to continued slowdown in the metal-using sector of the economy and
          that price volatility in the metals industry has had a higher than
          expected negative impact on gross profit per ton.
