NOTE 3/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. There are no employees remaining to
be separated from the Company as a result of the restructuring initiative. The
balance related to employee costs at June 30, 2001 will be paid through mid-2002
pursuant to severance agreements with certain former employees. Details of the
restructuring charge are as follows:

The restructuring actions were substantially completed by December 31, 2000.



NOTE 4/ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE SECURITIZATION

On March 29, 2001, the Company and certain of its subsidiaries completed
arrangements for a $250 million 364-day trade receivables securitization
facility with a group of financial institutions. The Company formed a special-
purpose, wholly-owned, bankruptcy-remote subsidiary (Ryerson Tull Receivables
LLC) for the sole purpose of buying receivables of certain subsidiaries of the
Company and selling an undivided interest in all eligible trade accounts
receivable to certain commercial paper conduits. This securitization facility
includes substantially all of the Company's accounts receivable. Fundings under
the facility are limited to the lesser of a funding base, comprised of eligible
receivables, or $250 million.

Sales of accounts receivable are reflected as a reduction of "receivables less
provisions for allowances, claims and doubtful accounts" in the Consolidated
Balance Sheet and the proceeds received are included in cash flows from
operating activities in the Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows. Sales proceeds
from the receivables are less than the face amount of accounts receivable sold
by an amount equal to a discount on sale that approximates the conduits'
financing cost of issuing their own commercial paper, which is backed by their
ownership interests in the accounts receivable sold by the special purpose
subsidiary, plus an agreed upon margin. These costs are charged to "other
revenue and expense, net" in the Consolidated Statement of Operations.

Generally, the facility provides that as payments are collected from the sold
accounts receivable, the special purpose vehicle may elect to have the
commercial paper conduits reinvest the proceeds in new accounts receivable. The
commercial paper conduits, in addition to their rights to collect payments from
that portion of the interests in the accounts receivable owned by them, also
have rights to collect payments from that portion of the ownership interest in
the accounts receivable that is owned by the


                                       6


special purpose vehicle. In calculating the fair market value of the Company's
retained interest in the receivables, the book value of the receivables
represented the best estimate of the fair market value due to the current nature
of these receivables. The facility, which expires March 28, 2002, requires the
Company to comply with various affirmative or negative covenants and requires
early amortization if the special-purpose subsidiary does not maintain a minimum
equity requirement. The facility also terminates on the occurrence and failure
to cure certain events, including, among other things, any failure of the
special-purpose subsidiary to maintain certain ratios related to the
collectability of the receivables, or the Company's failure to maintain long-
term unsecured debt ratings of at least B by Standard and Poor's and B2 by
Moody's.

The table below summarizes certain cash flows from and paid to securitization
trusts ($ in millions):

                                                       Six Months Ended

  Proceeds from collections reinvested                       $414

During the second quarter of 2001, the Company incurred costs of $4.5 million on
the sale of its receivables.

NOTE 5/DERIVATIVES AND FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

The Company adopted Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") Statement No.
133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities," in the
first quarter of 2001.  The Company currently is not involved with derivative
instruments or hedging activity as addressed in the Statement.  In the past the
Company had only limited involvement with hedges and did not use derivative
financial instruments for speculative or trading purposes.

NOTE 6/ISC/ISPAT SALE CONTINGENCIES

On May 29, 2001, the Company settled a number of disputes with Ispat that had
arisen under the May 27, 1998 Merger Agreement among Ispat International N.V.,
Inland Merger Sub, Inc., Inland Steel Industries (the predecessor of the Company
and the former owner of Ispat Inland), and Inland Steel Company (the predecessor
of Ispat Inland). The settled disputes included Ispat's claim against the
Company for indemnification in connection with the resolution of a federal
lawsuit and investigation relating to the sale of polymer-coated steel by Ispat
Inland to a culvert fabricator for use in highway construction projects in
Louisiana and other claims, but excluded environmental claims, for which Ispat
may make claims until July 2003. Pursuant to the May 29, 2001 settlement, the
Company paid $7.5 million to Ispat and the parties released certain claims each
had against the other. At year-end 2000, the Company recorded a $7.5 million
pretax charge for the potential exposure related to the Louisiana proceedings.

NOTE 7/SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

In July 2001, the Company amended its $150 million bank revolving credit
facility, replacing it with a $175 million revolving credit facility, secured by
inventory, that extends until July 19, 2004.   At July 19, 2001, $40 million
dollars of the facility was not available for borrowing.  Of that $40 million,
$15 million will become available if the Company meets certain financial ratios
and the remainder will

                                       7


become available upon consent of all the lenders.

On July 16, 2001, the Company paid the $142 million outstanding balance of its
8-1/2% Notes that matured on that date.

                                       8


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

Results of Operations - Comparison of Second Quarter 2001 to Second Quarter 2000
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

For the second quarter of 2001, the Company reported a consolidated net loss of
$4.9 million, or 20 cents per diluted share, as compared with a consolidated net
loss of $13.6 million, or 55 cents per diluted share, in the year-ago quarter.
Included in the second quarter 2001 results is a $1.0 million charge for the
write-off of the Company's investment in MetalSite, Inc., which was an Internet
marketplace for steel that halted commercial operations in the second quarter
2001. Included in the second quarter 2000 results was a pretax restructuring
charge of $23.3 million, or 67 cents per share. Excluding this charge, the
Company earned 12 cents per diluted share in the second quarter of 2000.

Net sales for the second quarter of 2001 decreased 23 percent to $582.6 million
from the same period a year ago due to the continuation of the slowdown in the
metal-using sector of the economy that started in the second half of 2000.
Volume decreased 17 percent while average selling price decreased 8 percent.

Gross profit margin increased to 20.5 percent in the current quarter from 19.7
percent a year ago. However, gross profit per ton declined to $163 in the second
quarter of 2001 from $170 in the year-ago quarter due to the decline in average
selling price. Expenses, defined as operating expenses plus depreciation and
amortization and excluding the MetalSite write-off, increased to $162 per ton in
the second quarter of 2001 from $155 per ton in the second quarter of 2000
mainly due to the decline in volume.  Reflecting weakness in volume and selling
price, operating profit per ton for the second quarter of 2001 declined to $1
per ton from $15 per ton a year ago.

In the quarter, the operating loss of $0.6 million was a decrease of $14.1
million from an operating profit of $13.5 million in the year ago period,
excluding the restructuring charge in the second quarter of 2000.


Results of Operations - Comparison of First Six Months 2001 to First Six Months
- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------
2000
- ----

For the first six months of 2001, the Company reported a consolidated net loss
of $3.6 million, or 15 cents per diluted share, as compared with a net loss of
$2.6 million, or 11 cents per diluted share, in the year-ago period.  Included
in the first six months of 2001 results was a pretax loss of $1.0 million for
the write-off of the Company's investment in MetalSite, Inc. and a pretax gain
of $1.3 million on the sale of a facility in Minneapolis, Minnesota. Net income
in the year-ago period included restructuring and plant closure charges of $27.8
million and a $4.4 million pretax pension curtailment gain.

Net sales of $1.2 billion decreased 21 percent from the first six months of 2000
as volume decreased 16 percent and selling prices decreased 6 percent.

Excluding the MetalSite write-off and the gain on sale in 2001 and the
restructuring and plant closure costs and the pension curtailment gain in 2000,
operating profit decreased 79 percent to $8.6 million from $40.5 million in the
year-ago period.

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

The Company had cash and cash equivalents at June 30, 2001 of $176.2 million,
compared to $23.8 million at December 31, 2000.  At June 30, 2001, the Company
had $200 million in outstanding fundings under its $250 million trade
receivables facility and no outstanding short-term borrowings under the
Company's $150 million credit facility.

At June 30, 2001, the Company had a committed bank revolving credit facility of
$150 million that extended until September 5, 2002. In July 2001, the Company
amended its $150 million bank revolving credit facility, replacing it with a
$175 million revolving credit facility, secured by inventory, that extends until
July 19, 2004. At July 19, 2001, $40 million dollars of the facility was not
available for borrowing.  Of that $40 million, $15 million will become available
if the Company meets certain financial ratios and the remainder will become
available upon consent of all the lenders. Letters of credit can be issued under
the facility and reduce the amount available for borrowing. The facility
contains covenants that, among other things, restrict the payment of dividends,
the amount of capital stock repurchases, the creation of certain kinds of
secured indebtedness and of certain kinds of subsidiary debt, take or pay
contracts, transactions with affiliates, mergers and consolidations, and sales
of assets.  The facility also contains certain financial covenants, including
covenants regarding net worth and the Company's debt-to-capital ratio.

As a condition of completing the ISC/Ispat Transaction, Ispat, ISC and the
Company entered into an agreement with the Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation
("PBGC") to provide certain financial commitments to reduce the underfunding of
the ISC Pension Plan on a termination basis. These obligations include a
guaranty of $50 million to the PBGC in the event of a distress or involuntary
termination of the ISC Pension Plan (now the Ispat Inland, Inc. Pension Plan).
The agreement also required the Company to provide collateral for its guarantee
in the event of a downgrade of the Company's unsecured debt rating below
specified levels. On May 1, 2001, Moody's Investors Services reduced its rating
on such unsecured debt to Ba3. In July 2001, the Company provided a letter of
credit secured by collateral to the PBGC under the amended credit facility
discussed above.

The Company has a 364-day $250 million trade receivables securitization
facility, in connection with which it formed a special-purpose subsidiary for
the sole purpose of buying receivables of certain subsidiaries of the Company
and selling an undivided interest in all eligible receivables to certain
commercial paper conduits. Fundings under the facility are limited to the lesser
of a funding base, comprised of eligible receivables, or $250 million.  At June
30, 2001, the Company had $200 million in outstanding fundings. The facility,
which expires March 28, 2002, requires the Company to comply with various
affirmative and negative covenants. The facility requires early amortization if
the special-purpose subsidiary does not maintain a minimum equity requirement
and terminates on the occurrence and failure to cure certain events, including,
among other things, any failure of the special-purpose subsidiary to maintain
certain ratios related to the collectability of the receivables and the
Company's failure to maintain long-term unsecured debt ratings of at least B by
Standard and Poor's and B2 by Moody's.

The indenture under which $250 million of debt was issued in 1996 ("RT Notes")
contains covenants limiting, among other things, the creation of certain types
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 credit facility described above.
On July 16, 2001, the Company paid the $142

                                       10


million outstanding balance of its 8-1/2% Notes that matured on that date. $100
million of the Company's 9-1/8% Notes due July 15, 2006 remain outstanding.

At June 30, 2001, assuming each of the Company's current facilities existed,
under the most restrictive covenants contained in these loan agreements, the
Company could have paid a maximum $10 million in dividends or repurchased $3
million in stock. At July 31, 2001, the same maximum amounts were allowed.


ISC/Ispat Sale Contingencies
- ----------------------------

On May 29, 2001, the Company settled a number of disputes with Ispat that had
arisen under the May 27, 1998 Merger Agreement among Ispat International N.V.,
Inland Merger Sub, Inc., Inland Steel Industries (the predecessor of the Company
and the former owner of Ispat Inland), and Inland Steel Company (the predecessor
of Ispat Inland). The settled disputes included Ispat's claim against the
Company for indemnification in connection with the resolution of a federal
lawsuit and investigation relating to the sale of polymer-coated steel by Ispat
Inland to a culvert fabricator for use in highway construction projects in
Louisiana and other claims, but excluded environmental claims, for which Ispat
may make claims until July 2003. Pursuant to the May 29, 2001 settlement, the
Company paid $7.5 million to Ispat and the parties released certain claims each
had against the other. At year-end 2000, the Company recorded a $7.5 million
pretax charge for the potential exposure related to the Louisiana proceedings.


Other Matters
- -------------

In March 2000, the Company and Altos Hornos de Mexico, S.A. de C.V. ("AHMSA")
entered into an agreement to sell the Company's 50 percent interest in their
joint venture to AHMSA for $15 million, with payment due in July 2000. The
Company and AHMSA finalized the terms of payment for the sale in June 2001. The
terms transferred ownership of the joint venture's Guadalajara facility to the
Company; and AHMSA entered into a supply agreement to provide the Company with
inventory for the remainder of the purchase price.
