1.    Basis of Presentation
      ---------------------

      The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of    
      Oregon Steel Mills, Inc. and its subsidiaries (the "Company").   
      All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been 
      eliminated upon consolidation.  Certain previously reported      
      amounts have been reclassified to conform with current period    
      presentation.  

      The unaudited financial statements include all adjustments       
      (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  
      for additional disclosures including a summary of significant    
      accounting policies.

3.    Common Stock
      ------------

      In February 1995 the Company contributed approximately 44,300    
      shares of common stock ("Common Stock") of the Company to the    
      Employee Stock Ownership Plan (the "ESOP") in payment of a       
      $736,000 liability accrued in 1994.  In February 1994 the        
      Company contributed approximately 29,600 shares of Common Stock  
      to the ESOP in payment of a $753,000 liability accrued in 1993.

      On April 28, 1995, the Board of Directors declared a quarterly   
      cash dividend of 14 cents per share to be paid May 31, 1995, to  
      stockholders of record as of May 12, 1995.

4.    Contingencies
      -------------

      ENVIRONMENTAL.  All material environmental remediation           
      liabilities which are probable and estimatable are recorded in   
      the financial statements based on current technologies and       
      current environmental standards.  Adjustments are made when      
      additional information is available that may require different   
      remediation methods or periods, and ultimately affect the total  
      cost.  The best estimate of the probable loss within a range is  
      recorded.  If there is no best estimate, the low end of the      
      range is recorded, and the range is disclosed.

      The Company's Napa Pipe Corporation subsidiary has a reserve of  
      $2.8 million at March 31, 1995 for environmental remediation     
      relating to the Napa pipe mill.  The Company's estimate of this  
      environmental reserve was based on several remedial              
      investigations and feasibility studies performed by an           
      independent engineering consultant.  The reserve includes costs  
      for remedial action which is scheduled to be completed in 1998   
      with sampling, monitoring and maintenance costs continuing       
      through 2024.

          NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)       
                             (Unaudited)

      In connection with the 1993 acquisition of CF&I, the Company     
      established a reserve of $36.7 million for environmental         
      remediation at CF&I's Pueblo steel mill.  CF&I believed $36.7    
      million was the best estimate from a range of $23.1 to $43.6     
      million.  CF&I's estimate of this environmental reserve was      
      based on two separate remediation investigations and feasibility 
      studies conducted by independent environmental engineering       
      consultants.  The reserve includes costs for the Resource        
      Conservation and Recovery Act facility investigation, a          
      corrective measures study, remedial action, and operation and    
      maintenance associated with the proposed remedial actions.  CF&I 
      and the State of Colorado Department of Public Health and        
      Environmental are finalizing a prioritized schedule of           
      corrective actions to be completed which are substantially       
      reflective of a straight-line rate of expenditure over 30 years. 
      The State of Colorado stated that the schedule for corrective    
      action could be accelerated if new data indicated a greater      
      threat to the environment than is currently known to exist.  At  
      March 31, 1995, the reserve is $34 million and is included       
      in other deferred liabilities in the consolidated balance sheet.

5.    Commitments
      -----------

      During 1994 the Company began construction of various capital    
      improvement projects at both its Portland, Oregon and Pueblo,    
      Colorado steel mills.  Commitments for expenditures related to   
      the completion of these projects were $67.4 million at March 31, 
      1995.

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

      The first quarter consolidated average selling price decreased
from $519 per ton in 1994 to $473 per ton in 1995, primarily due to
product mix changes.  Welded pipe shipments decreased 76,500 tons
while semi-finished shipments increased 57,600 tons.  The price for
welded pipe generally contributes the highest selling price per ton
for the Company while semi-finished products generally contribute the
lowest. Average plate product prices for the first quarter of 1995
increased approximately 14 percent from the first quarter of 1994
despite the decline in average selling price resulting from the
Fontana inventory runoff prior to closure.  Average welded pipe
product prices were level from quarter to quarter.  Average CF&I Steel
Division product prices in the first quarter of 1995 moved slightly
upward from the first quarter of 1994 due to product mix changes and
price increases for some products.

      Consolidated tonnage sold decreased 26,900 tons to 395,100 tons
in the first quarter of 1995 compared to the first quarter of 1994. 
The tonnage decrease is primarily the result of reduced welded pipe
shipments from the Napa pipe mill, offset by increased semi-finished
product shipments from the Portland steel mill.  Due to the decline of
the demand for large diameter pipe domestically and the pricing
competitiveness in the international large diameter pipe market, the
Company utilized its excess hot metal capacity at the Portland steel
mill by producing and selling semi-finished products in the first
quarter of 1995. Subject to market demands, 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.  First quarter 1995 shipments from CF&I were down 4 percent from
the first quarter of 1994.  An explosion which occurred during
construction of the new rod/bar mill at CF&I in 1994 delayed the
start-up of the rod/bar mill from the fourth quarter of 1994 to the
first quarter of 1995.  The delayed start-up reduced rod and bar
shipments for the first quarter of 1995.

      As a result of the decreased sales volume and average selling
prices, revenues were $187 million for the three month period ended
March 31, 1995 compared with $218.9 million for the corresponding 1994
period.  Of the $31.8 million sales revenue decrease, $14 million was
the result of a volume decrease, and $17.8 million resulted from lower
average selling prices.

      Gross profit for the three month period ended March 31, 1995
decreased $4 million from the corresponding 1994 period to $16.7
million.  Gross profit as a percentage of sales for the corresponding
three month period decreased .5 percent to 9 percent.  The $4 million
gross profit decrease resulted from a $2.7 million negative average
margin variance and a $1.3 million negative volume variance.  While
the decline in consolidated average selling price was $46 per ton, the
decline in consolidated average cost of sales was $39 per ton compared
to the first quarter of 1994.  The erosion of gross margin was caused
primarily by costs associated with the closure of the Fontana plate
mill and start-up costs associated with certain capital projects at
CF&I.

      The Company ceased rolling plate at its Fontana plate mill in
December of 1994.  Costs were incurred during the first quarter of
1995 for shipping remaining inventory, winding down of operations and
removal of supplies and equipment from the leased premises.  The
Fontana plate mill operations were completed by March 31, 1995 with a
negative gross margin impact of $1.7 million on the first quarter
1995.  Further, the Company estimates that start-up costs associated
with CF&I capital projects were approximately $3 million in the first
quarter 1995.  In addition to starting up its new rod/bar mill
operation, CF&I completed its conversion from ingot to continuous
casting for the rail mill and improvements to the steelmaking process
in the first quarter of 1995.  Steelmaking improvements include a new
ladle refining furnace, a vacuum degassing unit and caster
modifications.  Higher scrap costs also contributed to the gross
margin erosion in the first quarter of 1995 versus the first quarter
of 1994 at the Portland steel mill and CF&I.  Welded pipe costs were
negatively impacted by less throughput in the first quarter of 1995
versus the first quarter of 1994.

      In 1993 the Company began processing electric arc furnace
("EAF") dust in its GlassificationTM facility at the Portland steel
mill.  During the first quarter of 1995, the Company decided to idle
this facility temporarily and use current less costly EAF dust
disposal methods.  The Company continues to evaluate the economic
feasibility of operating the GlassificationTM facility, including a
potential new glass product, and probable cost increases of the
alternative methods of disposal.

      Selling, general and administrative expenses ("SG&A") for the
three month period ended March 31, 1995 decreased $1.5 million from
the corresponding period in 1994.  The SG&A decrease for the first
quarter of 1995 was due primarily to decreased shipping expenses by
the Oregon Steel Division.  SG&A as a percent of sales for the three
month period ended March 31, 1995 was 5.8 percent compared with 5.6
percent for the corresponding period in 1994.

      The contribution to the employee stock ownership plan and the
profit participation expense for the three month period ended March
31, 1995 increased compared to the corresponding 1994 period
reflecting the increased profitability within the Oregon Steel
Division in 1995 versus 1994.

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

      Total interest costs for the three month period ended March 31,
1995 were $4.8 million compared to $2.1 million for the same period of
1994, primarily as a result of the debt incurred to fund the Portland
combination mill and the CF&I capital expenditure programs. 
Capitalized interest cost for the three month period ended March 31,
1995 was $2.9 million compared to $1 million for the corresponding
1994 period.

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

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

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

      The Company's cash flow from operations for the three month
period ended March 31, 1995 was a positive $30.7 million compared to a
negative cash flow of $7.6 million in the corresponding 1994 period. 
The major items causing this $38.3 million increase from the first
quarter of 1994 to the corresponding 1995 period were the collections
of accounts receivable in 1995 versus 1994 ($12.1 million), reduction
of inventories in 1995 rather than build up of inventories in 1994
($26.3 million), and increases in accounts payable and accrued
expenses used to finance current obligations in 1995 compared to the
corresponding 1994 period ($6.6 million).  These increases were offset
by reduced net income ($1.8 million), increases in other current
assets in 1995 versus decreases in 1994 ($3.3 million) and other
miscellaneous reductions ($1.6 million).

      Net working capital at March 31, 1995 decreased $18.4 million
from December 31, 1994 due to a $22.2 million decrease in current
assets, principally inventory and accounts receivable, offset by a
$3.8 million decrease in current liabilities.  Cash generated from
these reductions was used primarily to fund the Company's capital
expansion projects and to pay accounts payable and accrued expense
liabilities.

      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 March 31, 1995, $140 million
was outstanding under the Senior Credit Facilities.

      The Company has an uncollateralized and uncommitted revolving
line of credit with a bank which matures May 31, 1995 and may be used
to support issuance of letters of credit, foreign exchange contracts
and interest rate hedges.  At March 31, 1995, $10 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 March 31, 1995, $3.6 million was restricted under
outstanding letters of credit.

      Camrose maintains a Canadian $15 million revolving credit
facility with a bank.  The facility is collateralized by all of the
assets of Camrose and expires on October 31, 1996.  Borrowings under
this facility are limited to an amount equal to specified percentages
of Camrose's eligible trade accounts receivables and inventories.  As
of March 31, 1995, Camrose had $1.6 million outstanding under this
facility.  In addition, Camrose has received a commitment from a bank
to provide an additional Canadian $9 million credit line until August
31, 1995.  Terms, including available borrowing based on inventories
and receivables, will be substantially the same as those for Camrose's
long-term credit facility described above.

      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 March 31, 1995, the
outstanding balance was $58.9 million, of which $53.4 million was
classified as noncurrent.

      The Company's total capitalization at March 31, 1995 of $471
million consists of $195 million in long-term debt and $276 million in
stockholder's equity, for a long-term debt-to-capitalization ratio of
.41 to 1.  Net book value per share of common stock at March 31, 1995
was $14.21 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 quarter of 1995 the Company
expended approximately $18 million on the capital program at CF&I and
$20 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 $104 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 $53 million on the combination mill. 

      In addition to the combination mill, the Company has budgeted
approximately $9 million for capital expenditures at its Oregon Steel
Division manufacturing facilities for recurring upgrade projects to
the present facilities and equipment.  The Company expects to expend
approximately $8 million on various capital projects at these
facilities in 1995. The Company has also budgeted $15 million for an
approximate 13 percent equity interest in a planned Venezuelan hot
briquetted iron plant.  Approximately $4 million is planned to be
expended in 1995.
