6. Contingencies
-------------
ENVIRONMENTAL. The Company's 87 percent owned New CF&I, Inc. subsidiary
owns a 95.2 percent interest in CF&I Steel, L.P. ("CF&I") which owns the
Pueblo, Colorado steel mill. The Company owns the remaining 4.8 percent of
CF&I. In connection with CF&I's acquisition of certain assets from CF&I
Steel Corporation in 1993, CF&I established a reserve of $36.7 million for
environmental remediation. The Colorado Department of Public Health and
Environment issued a 10-year, post-closure permit with two ten-year
renewals to CF&I which became effective on October 30, 1995. The permit
contains a schedule for corrective actions to be completed which is
substantially reflective of a straight-line rate of expenditure over 30
years. At March 31, 1998, CF&I had a reserve of $34.9 million related to
this remediation, of which $32.9 million is classified as non-current in
the consolidated balance sheet.
LABOR DISPUTE. The labor contract at CF&I expired on September 30, 1997.
After a brief contract extension intended to help facilitate a possible
agreement, on October 3, 1997 the United Steel Workers of America
("Union"), initiated a strike at CF&I for approximately 1,060 bargaining
unit employees. The parties failed to reach final agreement on a new labor
contract due to differences on economic issues. As a result of contingency
planning, the Company was able to avoid complete suspension of operations
at the Pueblo Mill by utilizing a combination of permanent replacement
workers, striking employees who returned to work and salaried employees. By
December 1997, CF&I had sufficient permanent replacement employees to
reach full production capacity.
On December 30, 1997, the Union called off the strike and made an
unconditional offer to return to work. At the time of this offer, only a
few vacancies existed at the Pueblo Mill. As of the end of March 1998, 45
former striking employees had returned to work as a result of their
unconditional offer. Approximately 820 former striking workers remain
unreinstated ("Unreinstated Employees").
As a result of the labor dispute, both CF&I and the Union have filed unfair
labor practice charges with the National Labor Relations Board ("NLRB"). On
February 27, 1998 the Regional Director of the NLRB's Denver office issued
a complaint against CF&I alleging violations of several provisions of the
National Labor Relations Act. CF&I not only denies the allegations, but
rather believes that both the facts and the law fully support its
contention that the strike was economic in nature and that it was not
obligated to displace the properly hired permanent replacement employees.
Ultimate determination of the issue may well require action by an
appropriate United States Court of Appeals. In the event there is an
adverse determination of these issues, Unreinstated Employees could be
entitled to back pay from the date of the Union's unconditional offer to
return to work through the date of the adverse determination ("Backpay
Liability"). The number of Unreinstated Employees entitled to back pay
would probably be limited to the number of replacement workers, currently
approximately 600 workers. However, the Union might assert that all
Unreinstated Employees could be entitled to back pay. Back pay is generally
measured by the quarterly earnings of those working less interim wages
earned elsewhere by the Unreinstated Employees. In addition, each
Unreinstated Employee has a duty to take reasonable steps to mitigate the
Backpay Liability by seeking employment elsewhere that has comparable
demands and compensation. It is not presently possible to estimate the
extent to which interim earnings and failure to mitigate the Backpay
Liability would affect the cost of an adverse determination.

Item 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
General
- -------
The following information contains forward-looking statements which are
made pursuant to the safe harbor provisions of the Private Securities Litigation
Reform Act of 1995. Such forward-looking statements are subject to risks and
uncertainties and actual results could differ materially from those projected.
Such risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to, general business
and economic conditions; competitive products and pricing, as well as
fluctuations in demand; potential equipment malfunction, work stoppages, and
plant construction and repair delays.
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Oregon Steel
Mills, Inc. and its subsidiaries ("Company"), wholly-owned Camrose Pipe
Corporation ("CPC") which owns a 60 percent interest in Camrose Pipe Company
("Camrose"), 87 percent owned New CF&I, Inc. ("New CF&I") which owns a 95.2
percent interest in CF&I Steel, L.P. ("CF&I") (dba Rocky Mountain Steel Mills).
The Company owns the remaining 4.8 percent interest in CF&I not owned by New
CF&I.
The Company is organized into two business units known as the Oregon Steel
Division and the Rocky Mountain Steel Mills Division ("RMSM"). The Oregon Steel
Division is centered on the Company's steel plate minimill in Portland, Oregon.
In addition to the Portland steel mill, the Oregon Steel Division includes the
Company's large diameter pipe finishing facility in Napa, California and the
large diameter and electric resistance welded pipe facility in Camrose, Alberta.
The RMSM Division consists of the steelmaking and finishing facilities of CF&I
located in Pueblo, Colorado, as well as certain related operations.

<PAGE>
OREGON STEEL MILLS, INC.
Sales increased 7.9 percent to $223.0 million for the first quarter of
1998, compared to the first quarter of 1997. Shipments increased 2.6 percent to
409,700 tons in the first quarter of 1998, compared to the first quarter of
1997. The increase in sales and shipments was primarily the result of increased
shipments of welded pipe products by the Oregon Steel Division, offset in part
by reduced seamless pipe shipments by the RMSM Division.
The consolidated average selling prices increased $33 per ton to $544 per
ton in the first quarter of 1998, compared to the first quarter of 1997. The
increase in consolidated average selling price was primarily due to increased
average selling prices and shipments of welded pipe products which generally
have the highest selling prices of any of the Company's products. Of the $16.3
million sales increase, $13.5 million was the result of higher average selling
prices and $5.3 million was from volume increases, offset by the non-recurring
$2.5 million of insurance proceeds received in the first quarter of 1997,
resulting from lost production during the third and fourth quarters of 1996
related to the failure of one of the power transformers servicing the RMSM
Division.
The Oregon Steel Division shipped 174,700 tons of product at an average
selling price of $709 per ton for the first quarter of 1998, compared to 151,400
tons of product at an average selling price of $630 per ton for the first
quarter of 1997. The increase in shipments and average selling price are
attributable to strong demand in the United States and Canada for the large
diameter line pipe manufactured by the Napa and Camrose Pipe Mills. Welded pipe
shipments increased at the Napa Pipe Mill to 66,400 tons in the first quarter of
1998, compared to 35,100 tons in the first quarter of 1997 and at the Camrose
Pipe Mill to 64,800 tons in the first quarter of 1998, compared to 47,600 tons
in the first quarter of 1997.
The RMSM Division shipped 235,000 tons of product at an average selling
price of $422 per ton for the first quarter of 1998, compared to 248,000 tons of
product at an average selling price of $438 per ton for the first quarter of
1997. Although the average selling price for rail, seamless pipe, rod and
semifinished products were higher in the first quarter 1998 compared to the
first quarter 1997, the average selling price at the RMSM Division decreased
$16 per ton. The decrease in shipments and average selling price were due to
decreased shipments of seamless pipe and wire products. Seamless pipe products
generally have the highest selling price of any of RMSM Division's products.
Seamless pipe shipments decreased to 19,200 tons in the first quarter of 1998,
compared to 33,200 tons in the first quarter of 1997, primarily due to the
continuing recovery of production capacity to pre-strike levels. The division
sold its wire operations in June 1997.
Gross profit for the first quarter of 1998 was $27.7 million or 12.4
percent compared to $29.5 million or 13.2 percent (excluding insurance proceeds)
for the first quarter of 1997. The gross profit decline in 1998 compared to
1997 was due to higher manufacturing costs for plate and welded pipe products
as a result of the continuing ramp up of the new steckel plate rolling mill
("Combination Mill") at the Portland Mill. During the first quarter of 1998,
the Combination Mill produced 155,000 tons compared to 110,600 tons produced on
the old mill in the first quarter of 1997. Gross profit was also negatively
impacted by higher than normal manufacturing costs and reduced production and
shipments of RMSM as a result of the strike by the Union (see Note 6 to the
Consolidated Financial Statements). These gross profit declines were partially
offset by higher average selling prices and shipments of welded pipe at the
Oregon Steel Division and higher average selling prices as noted above and
increased shipments of rail and semifinished products at the RMSM Division.
Selling, general and administrative ("SG&A") expenses for the first
quarter of 1998 increased $1.5 million from the corresponding 1997 period and
increased as a percentage of sales to 6.3 percent in the first quarter of 1998,
from 6.0 percent for the corresponding 1997 period. The increase is due to
increased shipping costs at the Oregon Steel Division as a result of increased
tons shipped in the first quarter of 1998 compared to the first quarter of 1997
and increased costs associated with the labor dispute at RMSM.

<PAGE>
OREGON STEEL MILLS, INC.
Profit participation expense was $140,000 for the first quarter of 1998
compared to $1.2 million in the corresponding 1997 period reflecting the
decreased profitability in 1998 versus 1997.
Total interest cost for the first quarter of 1998 was $9.8 million
compared to $9.4 million for the corresponding 1997 period. The higher interest
cost is primarily the result of additional debt incurred to fund the capital
improvement program. Capitalized interest for the first quarter of 1998 was
$295,000 compared to $6.6 million for the corresponding 1997 period. The reduced
capitalization is a result of the Combination Mill being put into service on
January 1, 1998.
The Company's effective income tax rates were 36 and 37 percent for
the three month period ended March 31, 1998 and 1997, respectively.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
- -------------------------------
Cash flow from operations for the three month period ended March 31, 1998,
was $25.0 million compared to $16.3 million in the first quarter of 1997. The
major items affecting this $8.7 million increase were decreased refundable
income taxes ($5.6 million), increased depreciation and amortization ($3.4
million), and increased accounts payable versus a decrease in 1997 ($12.4
million). These increases were offset by decreased net income ($5.3 million) and
a larger increase in accounts receivable ($6.9 million).
Net working capital at March 31, 1998 decreased $6.9 million compared to
December 31, 1997 reflecting a $10.4 million increase in current liabilities
offset by a $3.5 million increase in current assets. The increase in current
liabilities was primarily due to increased accrued interest expense related to
the Company's long-term debt.
The Company has outstanding $235 million principal amount 11% First
Mortgage Notes ("Notes") due 2003. The Notes are guaranteed by New CF&I and CF&I
("Guarantors"). The Notes and the guarantees are secured by a lien on
substantially all the property, plant and equipment and certain other assets of
the Company (exclusive of Camrose) and the Guarantors. The collateral for the
Notes and the guarantees do not include, among other things, inventory and
accounts receivable. The indenture under which the Notes were issued contains
potential restrictions on new indebtedness and various types of disbursements,
including dividends, based on the Company's net income in relation to its fixed
charges, as defined.
The Company maintains a $125 million revolving credit facility ("Amended
Credit Agreement") which expires June 11, 1999, and may be drawn upon based on
the Company's accounts receivable and inventory balances. The Amended Credit
Agreement is collateralized by substantially all of the Company's consolidated
inventory and accounts receivable, except those of Camrose. Amounts outstanding
under the Amended Credit Agreement are guaranteed by the Guarantors. The Amended
Credit Agreement contains various restrictive covenants including a minimum
tangible net worth, minimum interest coverage ratio, and a maximum debt to total
capitalization ratio. As of March 31, 1998, $86.2 million was outstanding under
the Amended Credit Agreement.
Term debt of $67.5 million was incurred by CF&I as part of the purchase
price of the Pueblo steel mill on March 3, 1993. This debt is without stated
collateral and is payable over ten years with interest at 9.5 percent. As of
March 31, 1998, the outstanding balance on the debt was $45.6 million, of which
$34.7 million was classified as long-term.
The Company has uncollateralized and uncommitted revolving lines of credit
with two banks which may be used to support issuance of letters of credit,
foreign exchange contracts and interest rate hedges. At March 31, 1998, $5.7
million was restricted under outstanding letters of credit.

OREGON STEEL MILLS, INC.
Camrose maintains a $15 million (Canadian dollars) revolving credit
facility with a bank, the proceeds of which may be used for working capital and
general corporate purposes. The facility is collateralized by substantially all
of the assets of Camrose and borrowings under this facility are limited to an
amount equal to specified percentages of Camrose's eligible trade accounts
receivable and inventories. The facility expires on December 30, 1999. As of
March 31, 1998, Camrose had $1.8 outstanding under the facility.
The Company anticipates that its needs for working capital and capital
expenditures through 1998 will be met from existing cash balances, funds
generated from operations and available borrowings under its Amended Credit
Facility.
CAPITAL EXPENDITURES. During the first three months of 1998 the Company
expended approximately $2.6 million (exclusive of capitalized interest) on
capital projects at the RMSM Division and $6.5 million (exclusive of capitalized
interest) on capital projects at the Oregon Steel Division.
