             REYNOLDS METALS COMPANY AND CONSOLIDATED SUBSIDIARIES

            NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)

                     Quarters Ended June 30, 1999 and 1998


1.  BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have
been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for
interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and
Article 10 of Regulation S-X.  Accordingly, they do not include all of the
information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles
for complete financial statements.  In the opinion of management, all
adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for
a fair presentation have been included.  Operating results for the interim
periods of 1999 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be
expected for the year ending December  31, 1999.  For further information,
refer to the consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto included
in the Company's annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December  31,
1998.  Certain amounts have been reclassified to conform to the 1999
presentation.  In the tables, dollars are in millions, except per share and
per pound amounts, and shipments are in thousands of metric tons.  A metric
ton is equivalent to 2,205 pounds.


2.  ACCOUNTING POLICIES
CUMULATIVE EFFECT OF ACCOUNTING CHANGE
In 1998, the Accounting Standards Executive Committee of the American
Institute of Certified Public Accountants issued Statement of Position (SOP)
98-5, "Reporting on the Costs of Start-Up Activities."  The SOP requires costs
of start-up activities and organization costs to be expensed as incurred.  The
Company adopted the SOP in the second quarter of 1998 and recognized a charge
for the cumulative effect of accounting change of $23 million.  First quarter
1998 results were retroactively restated to reflect this accounting change.

ACCOUNTING FOR THE COSTS OF DEVELOPING OR OBTAINING INTERNAL-USE SOFTWARE
In the first quarter of 1999, the Company adopted the Accounting Standards
Executive Committee of the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants'
Statement of Position (SOP) 98-1, "Accounting for the Costs of Computer
Software Developed or Obtained for Internal Use."  The SOP requires qualifying
computer software costs incurred in connection with obtaining or developing
software for internal use to be capitalized.  In prior years, the Company
capitalized costs of purchased software and expensed internal costs of
developing software.  The effect of adopting this SOP was not material to
interim 1999 results, and is not expected to be material for the full year.

DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS AND HEDGING ACTIVITIES
In 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement No. 133,
"Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities."  This
statement establishes new accounting and reporting standards for derivative
instruments and hedging activities.  The Company must adopt this statement by
January 1, 2001.  The Company has not determined the impact this statement

8.  CONTINGENT LIABILITIES
As previously disclosed in the Company's 1998 Form 10-K, the Company is
involved in various worldwide environmental improvement activities resulting
from past operations, including designation as a potentially responsible party
(PRP), with others, at various Environmental Protection Agency-designated
Superfund sites.  The Company has recorded amounts (on an undiscounted basis)
which, in management's best estimate, will be sufficient to satisfy
anticipated costs of known remediation requirements.

Estimated costs for future environmental compliance and remediation are
necessarily imprecise because of factors such as:

o    continuing evolution of environmental laws and regulatory requirements
o    availability and application of technology
o    identification of presently unknown remediation requirements
o    cost allocations among PRPs

Further, it is not possible to predict the amount or timing of future costs of
environmental remediation that may subsequently be determined.  Based on
information presently available, such future costs are not expected to have a
material adverse effect on the Company's competitive or financial position.
However, such costs could be material to results of operations in a future
interim or annual reporting period.

ITEM 2.  MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
         RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The following information should be read in conjunction with the
consolidated financial statements and related footnotes included
in the Company's 1998 Form 10-K along with the consolidated
financial statements and related footnotes included in and
referred to in this report.  In the tables, dollars are in
millions, except per share and per pound amounts, and shipments
are in thousands of metric tons.  A metric ton is equivalent to
2,205 pounds.

Management's Discussion and Analysis contains forecasts,
projections, estimates, statements of management's plans,
objectives and strategies for the Company and other forward-
looking statements. Please refer to the "Risk Factors" section
beginning on page 22, where we have summarized factors that could
cause actual results to differ materially from those projected in
a forward-looking statement or affect the extent to which a
particular projection is realized.

RECENT DEVELOPMENTS
- -------------------
By letter dated August 11, 1999, Alcoa Inc. made an
unsolicited offer to acquire all outstanding shares of
Reynolds in a transaction in which approximately half of the
shares would be exchanged for $65 cash and the remaining
half of the shares would be exchanged for the equivalent
value in Alcoa shares (or 0.9784 of a share of Alcoa.).
Alcoa also indicated that it would be willing to permit all
Reynolds stockholders to exchange all of their Reynolds
shares for Alcoa shares, if the Board of Reynolds or
Reynolds' stockholders found an all stock transaction to be
desirable.

At a special meeting held on August 15, 1999 to
consider the Alcoa offer, the Reynolds' Board of Directors
unanimously determined that the consideration offered by
Alcoa was inadequate for Reynolds stockholders.  In reaching
its determination, the Board considered, among other things,
the opinion of Reynolds' financial advisor, Merrill Lynch &
Co.  The Board also unanimously determined that Reynolds,
with the assistance of Merrill Lynch, should explore all
alternatives to maximize shareholder value, including the
sale of the company.

On August 16, 1999, Alcoa announced that it would
commence a cash tender offer during the week for all
outstanding shares of Reynolds at $65 per share.  Alcoa also
stated that it would file during the week preliminary
consent solicitation materials to solicit written consent
to, among other things, remove the current Board of Reynolds
and elect an independent slate of directors that would
redeem Reynolds' rights plan and take certain other steps
that would facilitate a sale of the company.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
- ---------------------
Net income was $35 million for the second quarter of 1999 and $25
million for the six months of 1999 compared with net losses of
$126 million for the second quarter of 1998 and $91 million for
the six months of 1998.  In addition to the extraordinary loss
and cumulative effect of accounting change shown in the table
below, the second quarter and six months of 1998 included non-
recurring, after-tax charges of $196 million for operational
restructuring.  For additional information concerning the
operational restructuring charges, see Note 3 to the consolidated
financial statements.

Our pre-tax results for the second quarter and six months of 1999
were adversely affected by:

o    lower realized aluminum pricing ($47 million in the second
     quarter and $127 million in the six month period  compared to the
     1998 periods) which primarily affected the Base Materials global
     business unit
o    loss of income from sold operations was $42 million in the
     second quarter and $80 million in the six month period compared
     to the 1998 periods (these amounts include $17 million in the
     second quarter of 1998 and $37 million in the six months of
     1998 for the ceasing of depreciation of assets held for sale)

We offset a portion of the shortfall with increased shipping
volume in our Base Materials and Packaging and Consumer
businesses, lower conversion costs, and lower interest and SG&A
expenses.  These benefits improved pre-tax results by $42 million
in the second quarter and $71 million in the six month period
compared to the 1998 periods.  In addition, our results for the
six months of 1999 include foreign currency related losses and
charges, principally in Brazil, of $12 million that we recognized
in the first quarter of 1999.

The increase in customer aluminum shipments in the second quarter
and six months of 1999 reflects strong demand for our value-added
products (foundry and sheet ingot, billet and rod), which made up
approximately 75% of the primary aluminum shipments in these
periods.  Our available supply to meet customer demand has
increased because we no longer need to supply downstream
fabricating operations that have been sold, and we restarted
idled capacity in 1998.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS - continued
- ---------------------
GLOBAL BUSINESS UNITS
In addition to reflecting the changes in shipping volume,
aluminum revenues in the second quarter and six months of 1999
were significantly affected by lower prices for primary aluminum.

Nonaluminum revenues were lower because of:

o    significantly lower prices for alumina - approximately 10%
     to 15% lower than the second quarter and six months of 1998
o    lower prices for carbon products
o    lower customer shipments of alumina and carbon products due
     to weaker demand and greater internal use resulting from our
     restart of idled primary aluminum capacity in 1998

The most significant factor affecting operating profit in the
second quarter and six months of 1999 was lower prices for most
products.  We were able to offset some of this decline with
higher shipments of primary aluminum products, improved capacity
utilization, and lower material and conversion costs.

Bonneville Power Administration ("BPA") supplies electricity to
our smelters at Longview, Washington and Troutdale, Oregon.  The
current contract with BPA expires in October 2001.  BPA has
proposed reducing the amount of power supplied to the smelters by
one-third and pricing the power on a formula under which charges
would vary with world aluminum prices.  Assuming "average" world
aluminum prices (with the basis for determining what is "average"
yet to be settled), the rate charged to Reynolds for the period
2001-2006 would increase by 13% over what we currently pay.  We
would also have to find other sources for the balance of our
power needs.  The BPA proposal is subject to full consideration
in a rate case, in which we can present arguments to improve the
offered rate, and other parties can challenge both the quantity
of power being provided to the Reynolds smelters and the rates at
which it is to be provided.  We expect to participate actively in
the resolution of this issue and to continue assessing alternate
power sources for the two smelters.

We have a 10% equity interest in the Aluminum Smelter Company of
Nigeria.  The smelter has closed indefinitely due to a lack of
working capital.  The closing has no material effect on our
operations or financial position.

Shipments and revenues were higher in the second quarter and six
months of 1999 because of strong demand for most products,
despite declining demand in the tobacco market.  The volume
impact on revenues was partly offset by pricing pressures in our
flexible packaging operations.  Operating income was higher in
the second quarter and six months of 1999 because of the higher
shipping volume and lower conversion costs.

Shipments increased in the second quarter and six months of 1999
because of strong demand for most distribution products.
Shipments of construction products reflected weak conditions in
several markets outside the U.S., such as Germany and Southeast
Asia.  Excluding Southeast Asia, sales of our aluminum composite
material, Reynobond, were ahead of last year and were
particularly strong in Europe and Latin America.

Revenues decreased because of lower prices for most products.
The decline in prices for aluminum products reflects the general
global weakening of aluminum prices from those realized in 1998.
Prices for stainless steel products were lower due to global
supply/demand imbalances and lower material costs.

The substantial increase in operating income reflects the
benefits of increased volume and margins.  Conversion
costs and expenses were lower except for the effect of start-up
of construction operations in Europe and China.  The effects of
lower prices were offset by lower material costs.

Shipments and revenues were higher in the second quarter and six
months of 1999 because of strong demand for cast and forged
aluminum wheels.  Our available supply increased due to improved
capacity utilization and the completion of the expansion of our
Virginia forged aluminum wheel plant in February 1999.

Operating profit was lower because of non-recurring start-up
costs relating to an engine cradle program at our Indiana
automotive structures plant (see below).  This effect was
partially offset by lower material costs, improved shipping
volume and capacity utilization in wheel and heat exchanger
operations, and significant operating improvements at our Beloit,
Wisconsin wheel plant.

The Company and an automobile manufacturer are pioneering the
first, mass-produced, high-volume, all-aluminum engine cradle.
The engine cradle offers significant weight savings, reduces
noise and vibration, and provides important safety features. We
have incurred high start-up costs because of the complexity of
the production process and our acceleration of the timetable to
begin production. No other manufacturer has yet produced this
particular component, so we expect to maintain a competitive
advantage.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS - continued
- ---------------------
GLOBAL BUSINESS UNITS - continued
RESTRUCTURING
The final closing of the sale of the Alabama can stock complex
occurred at the end of the first quarter of 1999.  The Company
had signed a definitive sales agreement in December 1998 covering
the disposition of the complex and agreed to operate it on behalf
of the buyer for a management fee until all administrative
aspects of the transaction could be completed.  As a result, no
revenues or operating results are included in the Restructuring
category in 1999.

OTHER
The Other category consists principally of operations in emerging
markets, European extrusion operations and investments in Canada,
Latin America and Saudi Arabia.

RECONCILING ITEMS
The increase in corporate expenses in the six months of 1999 was
due to foreign currency related losses and charges, principally
in Brazil.

For additional information concerning the global business units,
see Note 7 to the consolidated financial statements.

INTEREST EXPENSE
Interest expense decreased in both 1999 periods because of:

o    lower amounts of debt outstanding
o    lower average interest rates due to extinguishing higher
     cost debt
o    higher amounts for capitalized interest

TAXES ON INCOME
The effective tax rates reflected in the income statement differ
from the U.S. federal statutory rate principally because of the
following:

o    foreign taxes at different rates
o    the effects of percentage depletion allowances
o    credits and other tax benefits


YEAR 2000 READINESS DISCLOSURE
ISSUE
The year 2000 issue results from computer programs and systems
that rely on two digits rather than four to define the applicable
year.  Such systems may treat a date using "00" as the year 1900
rather than the year 2000.  As a result, computer systems could
fail to operate or make miscalculations, causing disruption of
business operations.

Left unrepaired, many of the Company's systems, including
information and computer systems and automated equipment, could
be affected by the year 2000 issue.  Failure to adequately
address the issue could result in, among other things, the
temporary inability to manufacture products, process
transactions, send invoices, and/or engage in normal business
activities.  We do not believe the products we sell require
remediation to address the year 2000 issue since they do not
depend on the calendar function in the electronic components.

GOAL
The Company has a formal program to address and resolve potential
exposure associated with information and non-information
technology systems arising from the year 2000 issue.  Our goal is
that none of the Company's critical business operations or
computer processes we share with our suppliers and customers will
be substantially impaired by the advent of the year 2000.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS - continued
- ---------------------
YEAR 2000 READINESS DISCLOSURE - continued
GOAL - continued
Our program is led by our Year 2000 Program Management Office,
which recommends processes and tools for year 2000 remediation to
the Company's business units and monitors progress.  The Program
Management Office consolidates progress information into monthly
status reports for review by management, the Company's internal
auditors and the Board of Directors.  The Audit Committee of the
Board of Directors is also given periodic briefings on progress
and plans from the Program Management Office.

YEAR 2000 REMEDIATION PROJECT
We have substantially completed preparation of our critical, date-
sensitive computer systems, processes and interfacing software
for the year 2000.  Our preparation included five phases: (1)
inventory, (2) planning, (3) conversion, (4) pre-installation
testing and (5) installation.  We measure progress on remediation
projects as a percentage of actual staff hours expended to
staff hours projected.  As of June 30, 1999, remediation of both our
information systems and our non-information systems (e.g.,
manufacturing and mechanical systems) was approximately 99%
complete.  We continue to monitor our computer and software
vendors' readiness statements to assure that readiness changes in
their products do not negatively affect our systems.

QUALITY ASSURANCE
In addition to completing our year 2000 remediation project, we
are validating our remediation efforts with post-installation
testing of certain critical computer systems.  During the
remainder of 1999, we also expect to respond to and initiate
requests to test with certain suppliers, customers and government
agencies after they ready their systems.

CONTINGENCY PLANNING
An ongoing key aspect of the Company's contingency planning for
the year 2000 focuses on assessment of the business impact on the
Company resulting from the possible failure of our suppliers to
provide needed products and services.  We have surveyed those
suppliers who are deemed to be critical to each of our operating
locations, even though the products or services they provide may
not be material to the Company's business as a whole, to assess
their year 2000 readiness.  We are currently monitoring over
1,800 suppliers and are rating them low, medium or high risk in
their progress toward being ready for the year 2000.  Critical
suppliers rated as high risk are receiving our immediate
attention for contingency planning or other measures such as
identifying additional sources of supply for critical materials.

As of June 30, 1999, we were on schedule with our third party
evaluation, having completed approximately 64% of the projected
total effort that we currently estimate will be needed.  Early in
the fourth quarter of 1999, we plan to have identified additional
sources of supply or developed other contingency plans with
respect to those critical suppliers who are not ranked as low
risk.  We will continue monitoring these suppliers into the year
2000.  In addition, we are responding to customer inquiries
regarding our year 2000 program and our progress in addressing
the issue.  We also are evaluating the year 2000 readiness of
certain of our largest customers, none of which are material to
our operations as a whole.  We have not determined the potential
costs of business disruptions from supplier or customer non-
performance.

The Company currently has in place operating procedures and
business continuity plans at its operating locations for
responding to unusual, disruptive situations such as power
shortages, failures by major suppliers and natural disasters.
These existing procedures and plans provide a solid foundation
for addressing many year 2000 issues.  As unique risks are
identified and deemed sufficiently likely to occur, we will make
necessary adaptations or additions to our existing procedures and
plans.

Contingency planning and monitoring to determine realistic year
2000 issues beyond those already addressed will continue
throughout the year.  Several reasonably likely worst case
scenarios involve shortages or unanticipated outages of energy
requirements.  Our operations, particularly in the Base Materials
business, require significant quantities of energy.  Curtailments
or disruptions of energy supplies would result in full or partial
shutdowns of these operations until energy availability could be
restored.  In addition, an unanticipated loss of energy supply
could result in damage to production equipment.  We continue to
assess these and other business disruption risks.

COSTS
The total cost of our Year 2000 remediation project is currently

approximate costs for post-installation testing and contingency
planning.

OPERATING ACTIVITIES
Cash from operating activities in the six months of 1999 was used
principally to fund accounts payable, accrued and other
liabilities and to increase inventories in anticipation of
improved shipping levels.

INVESTING ACTIVITIES
Capital investments totaled $220 million in the first half of
1999.  This amount includes $55 million for operating
requirements (replacement equipment, environmental control
projects, etc.).  The remainder was for strategic projects
(performance improvements, investments, etc.) principally carried
forward from 1998, including:

o    expanding the Worsley Alumina Refinery in Australia
o    modernizing U.S. foil plants
o    acquiring two producers of flexographic separations and
     plates for the packaging industry in the U.S. and Canada
o    establishing a foodservice packaging and consumer products
     subsidiary in Brazil
o    expanding a plant in Europe that will produce composite
     architectural products
o    opening new metals distribution centers
o    expanding a forged wheel plant in Virginia (completed in
     February 1999)
o    expanding and modifying an automotive structures plant in
     Indiana


Total capital investments excluding acquisitions planned for 1999
(approximately $450 million) are primarily for those strategic
projects now under way and continuing operating requirements.
We expect to fund these capital investments primarily with
cash provided by operating activities supplemented with funds
from financing activities.  While the projected 1999 capital
investments do not include amounts for acquisitions, we will
evaluate opportunities that arise.

Part of the proceeds from operational restructuring was used to
repurchase common stock.


FINANCING ACTIVITIES
In the first half of 1999, the Company:

o    increased short-term borrowings by $191 million
o    borrowed $150 million under our revolving credit facilities
     (see Note 6)
o    issued $100 million of medium-term notes (see Note 6),
     reducing to $13 million the amount of debt securities  available
     for issuance under our shelf registration

o    filed a shelf registration statement with the Securities and
     Exchange Commission to register an additional $150 million of
     unsecured debt securities (which has not yet been declared
     effective)

We used the proceeds from the borrowings to repay at maturity
$100 million of 9 3/8% debentures, to reduce borrowings under our
revolving credit facilities, to make other scheduled debt
payments and to supplementally fund operating and investing
activities.


PORTFOLIO REVIEW
In the first quarter of 1999, the final closing of the sale of
our can stock complex in Alabama occurred.  This essentially
completed our restructuring activities.


RISK FACTORS
- ------------
This section should be read in conjunction with Part I, Item 1
(Business), Item 3 (Legal Proceedings) and Item 7 (Management's
Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
Operations) of the Company's 1998 Form 10-K and the preceding
portions of this Item.

This report contains (and oral communications made by or on
behalf of the Company may contain) forecasts, projections,
estimates, statements of management's plans, objectives and
strategies for the Company and other forward-looking statements<FN1>.
The Company's expectations for the future and related forward-
looking statements are based on a number of assumptions and
forecasts, including:

o    world   economic  growth  and  other  economic  indicators
     (including  rates of inflation, industrial production,  housing
     starts and light vehicle sales)
o    trends in the Company's key markets
o    global aluminum supply and demand conditions
o    primary aluminum prices

By their nature, forward-looking statements involve risk and
uncertainty, and various factors could cause the Company's actual
results to differ materially from those projected in a forward-
looking statement or affect the extent to which a particular
projection is realized.

The Company is cautiously optimistic about the demand for
aluminum for 1999.  There are signs that the economies in Asia
are beginning to recover.  The economic situation in South
America is also improving.  The Company's outlook is for an
increase in global primary aluminum consumption for 1999 of 2% to
3%.  If the global economy completes its recovery in 2000 to
2001, we expect global aluminum consumption to grow by
approximately 4% to 5% per year.

Economic and/or market conditions other than those forecasted by
the Company in the preceding paragraph could cause the Company's
actual results to differ materially from those projected in a
forward-looking statement or affect the extent to which a
particular projection is realized.  The Company's outlook for
1999 and beyond could be jeopardized by a further delay of
economic recovery in Asia and South America.

RISK FACTORS - continued
- ------------
The following factors also could affect the Company's results:

o Primary aluminum is an internationally traded commodity.
  The price of primary aluminum is subject to worldwide market
  forces of supply and demand and other influences.  Prices can be
  volatile.  Because primary aluminum makes up a significant
  portion of the Company's shipments, changes in aluminum pricing
  have a rapid effect on the Company's operating results.  The
  Company's use of contractual arrangements, including fixed-price
  sales contracts, fixed-price supply contracts, and forward,
  futures and option contracts, reduces its exposure to price
  volatility but does not eliminate it.

o The markets for most aluminum products are highly
  competitive.  Certain of the Company's competitors are larger
  than the Company in terms of total assets and operations and have
  greater financial resources.  Certain foreign governments are
  involved in the operation and/or ownership of certain competitors
  and may be motivated by political as well as economic
  considerations.  In addition, aluminum competes with other
  materials, such as steel, plastics and glass, among others, for
  various applications in the Company's key markets.  Plastic
  products compete with similar products made by the Company's
  competitors, as well as with products made of glass, aluminum,
  steel, paper, wood and ceramics, among others.  Unanticipated
  actions or developments by or affecting the Company's competitors
  and/or the willingness of customers to accept substitutions for
  the products sold by the Company could affect results.

o The Company spends substantial capital and operating amounts
  relating to ongoing compliance with environmental laws.  In
  addition, the Company is involved in remedial investigations and
  actions in connection with past disposal of wastes. The
  identification of additional material remediation sites in the
  future (that are presently unknown) at which the Company may be
  named as a potentially responsible party could have a material
  adverse effect on the Company's results of operations in a future
  interim or annual reporting period.  Moreover, estimating future
  environmental compliance and remediation costs is imprecise due
  to:

       - continuing evolution of environmental laws and
          regulatory requirements and uncertainties about
          their application to the Company's operations
       - availability and application of technology
       - allocation of costs among potentially responsible parties

o The Company has investments and activities in various
  emerging markets, including Russia, China, India and Brazil.
  While emerging markets offer strong growth potential, they also
  present a higher degree of risk than more developed markets.  In
  addition to the business risks inherent in developing and
  servicing new markets, economic conditions may be more volatile,
  legal systems less developed and predictable, and the possibility
  of various types of adverse government action more pronounced.

o Unanticipated material legal proceedings or investigations,
  or the disposition of those currently pending against the Company
  other than as anticipated by management and counsel, could have a
  material adverse effect on the Company's results of operations
  for a particular reporting period.

o Changes in the costs or availability of supply of power,
  resins, caustic soda, green coke and other raw materials can
  materially affect results.  Substantial increases in power costs,
  particularly in the Pacific Northwest, may adversely affect the
  Company's primary aluminum production plants which require
  reliable, low-cost power.

o A number of the Company's operations are cyclical and can be
  influenced by economic conditions.

o A failure to complete the Company's major capital projects,
  such as expansion of the Worsley Alumina Refinery, as scheduled
  and within budget or a failure to launch successfully new growth
  or strategic business programs, such as the engine cradle
  program, could affect the Company's results.

                               23

 24

RISK FACTORS - continued
- ------------
o The Company's results may be adversely affected if it fails
  to meet its year 2000 readiness goals.  While the Company
  believes it has prepared substantially all of its information and
  non-information systems for the advent of the year 2000, a
  failure to locate and correct all relevant computer codes could
  result in disruptions of Company operations, some of which may be
  significant.  Also, there can be no guarantee that other
  companies with which the Company does business will be converted
  on a timely basis or their failure to be year 2000 compliant will
  not have an adverse effect on the Company.

o A strike at a customer facility or a significant downturn in
  the business of a key customer supplied by the Company could
  affect the Company's results.

In addition  to  the  factors referred to above, the  Company  is
exposed  to  general  financial,  political,  economic   and
business  risks in connection with its worldwide operations.
The  Company continues to evaluate and manage its operations
in  a  manner to mitigate the effects from exposure to  such
risks.   In  general,  the Company's  expectations  for  the
future  are based on the assumption that conditions relating
to  costs,  currency  values,  competition  and  the  legal,
regulatory,  financial, political and business  environments
in  the worldwide economies and markets in which the Company
operates will not change significantly overall.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

Forward, futures, option and swap contracts are designated to
manage market risks resulting from fluctuations in the aluminum,
natural gas, foreign currency and debt markets.  Contracts used
to manage risks in these markets are not material.

                  PART II - OTHER INFORMATION



ITEM 1.  LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

Following the August 11, 1999 offer by Alcoa Inc. to acquire
the Registrant, seven putative class actions on behalf of
stockholders of the Registrant were filed in the Delaware
Court of Chancery against the Registrant and certain present
and former directors of the Registrant.  The plaintiffs in
those actions allege, among other things, that the director
defendants have breached their fiduciary duties owed to the
plaintiffs and other stockholders of the Registrant by
failing to explore offers for the purchase of the Registrant
or to engage in meaningful discussions with interested
parties such as Alcoa; that they have attempted to deprive
the plaintiffs of the true value of their investment in the
Registrant; that they have failed to exercise ordinary care
and diligence in the exercise of their fiduciary
obligations; that they have attempted to entrench themselves
in office; and that they have prevented the Registrant's
stockholders from obtaining a fair price for their shares.
The plaintiffs seek to enjoin a merger or other business
combination of the Registrant with a third party unless
pursuant to a procedure such as an auction to obtain the
highest possible price for the Registrant.  The plaintiffs
also seek the entry of an order directing the director
defendants, among other things, to carry out their fiduciary
duties to the plaintiffs, to maximize shareholder value, to
undertake an appropriate evaluation of the Registrant's net
worth as a merger/acquisition candidate, to "create an
active auction" for the Registrant, and to ensure that any
conflicts of interest between the director defendants and
their fiduciary obligation to maximize shareholder value are
resolved in the best interests of the Registrant's public
stockholders.  In one of the actions, the plaintiffs also
seek the entry of an order directing the director defendants
not to use the Registrant's shareholder rights plan or other
defensive measures to impede any bona fide offers for the
Registrant.  In addition, the plaintiffs seek damages in an
unspecified amount, costs and disbursements, including
attorneys' fees, and such other relief as the Delaware Court
of Chancery deems appropriate.


ITEM 2.  CHANGES IN SECURITIES

     (a)      Recent Sales of Unregistered Securities

     Under the Registrant's Stock Plan for Outside Directors (the
     "Plan"), 126 phantom shares, in the aggregate, were granted
     to the Registrant's nine outside Directors on April 1, 1999,
     based on an average price of $48.4688 per share.  These
     phantom shares represent dividend equivalents paid on
     phantom shares previously granted under the Plan.  756
     phantom shares, in the aggregate, were granted to the nine
     outside Directors on June 30, 1999, based on an average
     price of $59.7813 per share.  These phantom shares represent
     a quarterly installment of each outside Director's annual
     grant under the Plan.

     To the extent that these grants constitute sales of equity
     securities, the Registrant issued these phantom shares in
     reliance on the exemption provided by Section 4(2) of the
     Securities Act of 1933, as amended, taking into account the
     nature of the Plan, the number of outside Directors
     participating in the Plan, the sophistication of the outside
     Directors and their access to the kind of information that a
     registration statement would provide.

     A description of the Plan is contained in the Registrant's
     Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1998 in Part II,
     Item 5 under the caption "Sale of Unregistered Securities".

ITEM 4.  SUBMISSION OF MATTERS TO A VOTE OF SECURITY HOLDERS

ITEM 5.  OTHER INFORMATION

     On August 11, 1999, Alcoa Inc. made an unsolicited
offer to acquire all outstanding shares of Reynolds in a
transaction in which approximately half of the shares would
be exchanged for $65 cash and the remaining half of the
shares would be exchanged for the equivalent value in Alcoa
shares (or 0.9784 of a share of Alcoa.).  On August 16,
1999, Alcoa announced that it would commence a cash tender
offer during the week for all outstanding shares of Reynolds
at $65 per share and that it would file preliminary consent
solicitation materials to solicit written consent, to among
other things, remove the current Board of Reynolds and elect
an independent slate of directors.  For a discussion of these
matters, see "Recent Developments" under Part I, Item 2.

     (b) Reports on Form 8-K

         During the second quarter of 1999, the Registrant
         filed three Current Reports on Form 8-K
         with the Commission, each of which reported matters
         under Item 5:

         (1)  A Form 8-K filed April 1, 1999, reporting that the
              Registrant had completed the sale of its Alloys can stock complex
              in Alabama and its aluminum extrusion plant in Irurzun, Spain;

         (2)  A Form 8-K filed May 28, 1999, containing the remarks given
              by Jeremiah J. Sheehan, Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive
              Officer of the Registrant, at the Registrant's annual meeting of
              stockholders held on May 20, 1999; and

         (3)  A Form 8-K filed June 1, 1999, reporting that at a meeting
              of the Non-Ferrous Metals Analysts of New York, Mr. Sheehan had
              provided a status report on the strategic planning and analysis
              process the Registrant has undertaken involving management, the
              Registrant's Board of Directors, and the Registrant's investment
              bankers and containing excerpts from Mr. Sheehan's remarks.

          In addition, on July 20, 1999, the Registrant filed
          a Current Report on Form 8-K reporting that it had
          improved its segment reporting by removing corporate
          amounts from the Other category and presenting them
          as separate reconciling items.  Filed with the
          report are reclassified segment disclosures related
          to the Registrant's financial reports for the
          quarters ended March 31, 1999 and 1998, other
          interim periods of 1998, and the fiscal years ended
          December 31, 1998, 1997 and 1996.
