      (consisting of normal recurring accruals) which, in the opinion  
      of management, are necessary for a fair presentation of the      
      interim periods.  Results for an interim period are not          
      necessarily indicative of results for a full year.  Reference    
      should be made to the Company's 1994 Annual Report on Form 10-K

      million is classified as non-current in other deferred           
      liabilities in the consolidated balance sheet.

- ---------------------------------
         (1)  The Oregon Steel Division consists primarily of the      
              operations of the Portland, Oregon steel mill, Napa,     
              Fontana and Camrose.

      The consolidated average selling price increased $42 to $545 per
ton for the second quarter of 1995 and decreased $7 to $503 per ton
for the first six months of 1995, compared to the corresponding 1994
periods.  The primary reasons for the changes in the consolidated
average selling prices were the increased volume of sales of the
generally lowest priced semi-finished products and the decreased
volume of sales of the generally highest priced welded pipe products
sold by the Oregon Steel Division, offset by a significant reduction
in the sales volume of the CF&I Steel Division's lowest priced rod and
bar products. In addition, selling prices generally increased in the
second quarter and the first six months of 1995, compared to the
corresponding periods in 1994 due to favorable market conditions and
improved quality resulting from capital facility improvements.
However, Oregon Steel Division's Canadian Camrose pipe mill was
negatively impacted by a significant reduction in demand for its pipe
products in the second quarter of 1995.

      Consolidated tonnage sold decreased 189,800 tons to 277,200 tons
for the second quarter of 1995 and decreased 216,700 tons to 672,300
tons for the first six months of 1995, compared to the corresponding
1994 periods.  These tonnage decreases were primarily the result of
reduced welded pipe shipments from the Napa and Camrose pipe mills,
reduced rod and bar shipments from the CF&I Steel Division, offset by
increased semi-finished product shipments from the Portland steel
mill.  The Company was able to maximize the efficiency of its Portland
steel mill by utilizing its excess hot metal capacity by producing and
selling semi-finished products in the first six months of 1995.  The
Company expects to continue selling semi-finished products for the
balance of 1995 and into 1996 until the Portland steel mill's
combination mill comes on line.  Reduced rod and bar mill tonnage for
the three and six month periods ended June 30, 1995 is primarily due
to the capitalization of revenues and costs associated with the pre-
operational phase of CF&I's new rod/bar mill.  The Company estimates
the new rod/bar mill to be fully operational during the third quarter
of 1995.

      As a result of the decreased sales volume and changes in average
selling prices, sales revenues for the three and six month periods
ended June 30, 1995 were $151.1 million and $338.2 million,
respectively, compared to $234.8 million and $453.7 million for the
corresponding 1994 periods.  Of the $83.7 million second quarter sales
revenue decrease, $95.4 million was the result of a volume decrease,
offset by $11.7 million resulting from higher average selling prices. 
Of the $115.5 million year-to-date sales revenue decrease, $110.5
million was the result of a volume decrease, and $5 million resulted
from lower average selling prices.

      Gross profit for the three and six month periods ended June 30,
1995, increased $2.3 million and decreased $1.6 million from the
corresponding 1994 periods to $23.7 million and $40.5 million,
respectively.  Gross profit as a percentage of revenues for the three
and six month periods ended June 30, 1995 increased 6.2 percent and
2.5 percent, respectively, to 15.3 percent and 11.8 percent.  The $2.3
million quarterly increase resulted from a $7.1 million positive
average margin variance and a $4 million insurance settlement, offset
by a $8.8 million negative volume variance.  The $1.6 million year-to-
date decrease resulted from a $10.3 million negative volume variance,
offset by a $4.7 million positive average margin variance and a $4
million insurance settlement. 

      Gross profits were positively impacted by the $4 million
proceeds received from the Company's business interruption insurance
carrier in the second quarter of 1995 primarily for reimbursement of
lost profits at the CF&I Steel Division due to lost production and the
delay in the start-up of the new rod/bar mill.  The delay was caused
by an explosion that occurred during the third quarter of 1994.  Gross
profits were negatively impacted by the extension of start-up of the
capital projects at the Company's CF&I Steel Division beyond the
original time table.  The associated incremental costs were estimated
to be $1.2 million and $3.8 million more in the second quarter and the
first half of 1995, respectively, than the corresponding periods in
1994.

      Gross profits also improved, in the second quarter and first
half of 1995 compared to the corresponding periods in 1994, due to
higher selling prices as discussed above, and due to a somewhat
greater percentage of sales of higher margin specialty steel plate to
total sales of all grades of steel plate.  Additionally, gross profits
improved because CF&I Steel Division's lowest margin rod and bar
product sales were only 1.6 and 23.6 percent of total CF&I Steel
Division sales in the second quarter of 1995 and the first half of
1995 compared to 41.3 and 41.5 percent in the corresponding periods in
1994.  Further, gross profits improved because the current periods
were not burdened with higher manufacturing costs and sales allowances
associated with producing and selling high quality pipe grades for
international pipe shipments from the Company's Napa pipe mill, as was
the case in the corresponding prior periods.  

      The gross profit improvements were offset by gross profit
declines of $1.9 million due to costs incurred primarily in the first
quarter of 1995 which were associated with the winding down of
operations of the Company's Fontana plate mill which was permanently
closed in December of 1994.  Contributing to the offset of increasing
gross profits were higher scrap prices at the Oregon Steel and CF&I
Steel Divisions.  Additionally, gross profits were reduced due to
increased costs associated with notably lower production levels at the
Company's Camrose pipe mill.

      Selling, general and administrative expenses ("SG&A") for the
three month and six month periods ended June 30, 1995 decreased $3.1
million and $4.6 million, respectively, from the corresponding periods
in 1994.  These decreases were due primarily to decreased shipping
expenses by the Oregon Steel Division as a result of the closure of
the Fontana plate mill in December of 1994 and reduced shipping volume
from the Company's Napa and Camrose pipe mills.  Additionally, the
closure of the Fontana plate mill reduced SG&A costs, other than
shipping expenses, $814,000 and $1.4 million in the three and six
month periods ended 1995 compared to the same periods in 1994.  SG&A
as a percent of revenues for the three and six month periods ended
June 30, 1995 was 6.7 and 6.2 percent, respectively, compared to 5.8
and 5.7 percent for the corresponding periods in 1994.

      The contribution to the employee stock ownership plan and the
profit participation expense for the three and six month periods ended
June 30, 1995 increased compared to the corresponding 1994 periods,
reflecting the increased profitability in 1995 versus 1994.

Other Income (Expense)
- ----------------------

      Total interest costs for the three and six month periods ended
June 30, 1995, were $5.4 million and $10.1 million, respectively,
compared to $2.9 million and $5 million for the corresponding 1994
periods.  These increases were primarily the result of the debt
incurred to fund the Portland combination mill and the CF&I capital
expenditure programs.  Capitalized interest cost for the three and six
month periods ended June 30, 1995 was $3.2 million and $6 million,
respectively, compared to $1.5 million and $2.6 million for the
corresponding 1994 periods.

Income Taxes
- ------------

      The Company's effective income tax rate was 39 percent for the
three and six month periods ended June 30, 1995, and 38 percent for
the corresponding 1994 periods.  The benefit of income taxes was at a
rate of 32.2 percent for the year ended December 31, 1994.  Income
before income taxes in 1994 included a non-taxable $12.3 million gain
on the sale of a 10 percent equity interest in New CF&I, Inc.  Also
contributing to the 1994 income tax benefit was the utilization of
state tax credits.


Liquidity and Capital Resources
- -------------------------------

      The Company's cash flow from operations for the six month period
ended June 30, 1995 was a positive $61 million compared to a negative
cash flow of $19 million in the corresponding 1994 period.  The major
items causing the $80 million increase were a decrease in trade
accounts receivable in 1995 versus an increase in 1994 ($43 million),
a greater reduction of inventories in 1995 compared to the
corresponding 1994 period ($18.5 million), a decrease in refundable
income taxes in 1995 compared to an increase in 1994 ($4.3 million), a
smaller increase in accounts payable in 1995 compared to the increase
in 1994 ($12 million), and a larger increase in accrued expenses in
1995 versus the increase in the corresponding 1994 period ($7.1
million).  These increases in cash flow were offset by decreases in
cash flow due to an increase in notes receivable in 1995 versus 1994
($2.1 million), a reduced increase in post-retirement obligations in
1995 versus 1994 ($1.6 million), and a reduction of minority interests
in 1995 versus an increase in 1994 ($1.2 million).

      Net working capital at June 30, 1995 decreased $46.6 million
from December 31, 1994 due to a $39.3 million decrease in current
assets, principally inventory and accounts receivable, and $7.3
million increase in current liabilities, principally accrued expenses. 
Cash generated from operations was used primarily to fund the
Company's capital expansion projects.

      The Company maintains a $100 million revolving credit facility
and a $200 million term loan facility (the "Senior Credit
Facilities").  Maximum borrowings available under the revolving credit
facility are based on the amount of the combined inventory and
accounts receivable of the Company.  At June 30, 1995, $140 million
was outstanding under the Senior Credit Facilities.

      The Company has a $14.5 million uncollateralized and uncommitted
revolving line of credit with a bank which matures May 31, 1996 and
may be used to support issuance of letters of credit, foreign exchange
contracts and interest rate hedges.  At June 30, 1995, $9.6 million
was restricted under outstanding letters of credit.  In addition, the
Company has a $5 million uncollateralized and uncommitted revolving
credit line with a bank which is restricted to use for letters of
credit.  At June 30, 1995, $3.6 million was restricted under
outstanding letters of credit.

      Camrose maintains a Canadian $24 million revolving credit
facility with a bank, $9 million of which expires August 31, 1995,
with the remainder expiring on October 31, 1996.  The facility is
collateralized by substantially all of the assets of Camrose. 
Borrowings under this facility are limited to an amount equal to
specified percentages of Camrose's eligible trade accounts receivables
and inventories.  As of June 30, 1995, Camrose had $5.5 million
outstanding under this facility.  

      CF&I incurred indebtedness in an original principal amount of
$67.5 million as part of the purchase price of the assets of CF&I
Steel Corporation on March 3, 1993.  At June 30, 1995, the outstanding
balance was $57.7 million, of which $53.4 million was classified as
noncurrent.

      The Company's total capitalization at June 30, 1995 of $480
million consists of $200 million in long-term debt and $280 million in
stockholder's equity, for a long-term debt-to-capitalization ratio of
 .42 to 1.  Net book value per share of common stock at June 30, 1995
was $14.40 per share versus $14.24 per share at December 31, 1994. 
The Company believes that anticipated needs for working capital and
the capital expenditure program (noted below) will be met from
existing cash balances, funds generated from operations and borrowings
pursuant to the Senior Credit Facilities.

      CAPITAL EXPENDITURES.  In the first six months of 1995, the
Company expended approximately $28 million on the capital program at
CF&I and $40 million on the combination mill at the Portland steel
mill.  During the balance of 1995 the Company expects to expend $42
million on the capital program at CF&I and $85 million on the
combination mill at the Portland steel mill.  To complete the capital
program at CF&I and the combination mill in 1996, the Company expects
to expend $15 million at CF&I and $58 million on the combination mill.

      In addition, the Company has expended approximately $3 million
for capital improvements at its Oregon Steel Division manufacturing
facilities for recurring upgrade projects to the present facilities
and equipment during the first six months of 1995.  The Company
expects to expend approximately $7 million on these projects during
the remainder of 1995. The Company has also budgeted $15 million for
an approximate 13 percent equity interest in a planned Venezuelan hot
briquetted iron plant.  Approximately $7 million is planned to be
expended in 1995.

PART II  OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1.      Legal Proceedings
             -----------------

                  STATE OF OREGON OCCUPATIONAL SAFETY AND HEALTH       
             DIVISION ("OREGON OSHA") CITATION.  On July 25, 1995      
             Oregon OSHA cited the Company $1.4 million in penalties   
             for alleged violations of Oregon occupational safety and  
             health rules.  Of the eighteen individual citations, ten  
             were alleged by Oregon OSHA to be willful.

                  Oregon OSHA claims that a Material Safety Data Sheet 
             ("MSDS") that the Company had prepared for its glass frit 
             product produced at its Portland steel mill was           
             incomplete in its description of certain metals present   
             in the product.  Oregon OSHA also claims that certain     
             administrative and recordkeeping aspects of the glass     
             plant's lead and cadmium protection programs were not in  
             complete compliance with applicable OSHA regulations.     
             With the assistance of counsel, the Company has conducted 
             its own investigation of all the alleged violations.      
             Based on that investigation, it is the Company's belief   
             that no willful violation of the OSHA rules occurred.     
             Since Oregon OSHA's investigation began, the Company has  
             been fully cooperating with OSHA.  Oregon OSHA has        
             pointed out some areas where the Company has not been in  
             complete technical compliance with certain administrative 
             and recordkeeping rules, and the Company promptly         
             corrected those issues.  The Company has appealed the     
             citation, and believes that the final outcome will not    
             have a material adverse effect on the Company's results   
             of operations, its financial position, or its cash flows.
