&lt;font face="Times New Roman" size="2"&gt;Fair value measurements for
Nucor&amp;#8217;s cash equivalents and short-term investments are
classified under Level 1 because such measurements are based on
quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets. Fair
value measurements for Nucor&amp;#8217;s derivatives are classified
under Level 2 because such measurements are based on published
market prices for similar assets or are estimated based on
observable inputs such as interest rates, yield curves, credit
risks, spot and future commodity prices and spot and future
exchange rates.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

debt, including current maturities, was approximately $3.18 billion

"2"&gt;&lt;b&gt;CONTINGENCIES:&lt;/b&gt; Nucor has been named, along with other
major steel producers, as a co-defendant in several related
antitrust class-action complaints filed by Standard Iron Works and
other steel purchasers in the United States District Court for the
Northern District of Illinois. The cases are filed as class
actions. The plaintiffs allege that from January 2005 to the
present, eight steel manufacturers, including Nucor, engaged in
anticompetitive activities with respect to the production and sale
of steel. The plaintiffs seek monetary and other relief. Although
we believe the plaintiffs&amp;#8217; claims are without merit and will
vigorously defend against them, we cannot at this time predict the
outcome of this litigation or determine Nucor&amp;#8217;s potential
exposure.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/td&gt;

&lt;font face="Times New Roman" size="2"&gt;Nucor is subject to
environmental laws and regulations established by federal, state
and local authorities and, accordingly, makes provision for the
estimated costs of compliance. Of the undiscounted total $38.8
million of accrued environmental costs at July&amp;#160;4, 2009 ($27.1
million at December&amp;#160;31, 2008), $21.8 million was classified in
accrued expenses and other current liabilities ($16.1 million at
December&amp;#160;31, 2008) and $17.0 million was classified in
deferred credits and other liabilities ($11.0 million at
December&amp;#160;31, 2008).&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

"2"&gt;&lt;b&gt;DERIVATIVES:&lt;/b&gt; Nucor uses derivative financial instruments
from time-to-time primarily to partially manage its exposure to
price risk related to natural gas purchases used in the production
process as well as copper and aluminum purchased for resale to its
customers. In addition, Nucor uses derivatives from time-to-time to
partially manage its exposure to changes in interest rates on
outstanding debt instruments and uses forward foreign exchange
contracts to hedge cash flows associated with certain assets and
liabilities, firm commitments and anticipated
transactions.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/td&gt;

&lt;font face="Times New Roman" size="2"&gt;As of March&amp;#160;1, 2006, all
outstanding options were vested; therefore, no compensation expense
related to stock options was recorded in the first six months of
2009 or 2008. The amount of cash received from the exercise of

Incentive Plan (the &amp;#8220;AIP&amp;#8221;) and Long-Term Incentive Plan
(the &amp;#8220;LTIP&amp;#8221;) authorize the award of shares of common
stock to officers subject to certain conditions and restrictions.
The LTIP provides for the award of shares of restricted common
stock at the end of each LTIP performance measurement period at no
cost to officers if certain financial performance goals are met
during the period. One-third of the LTIP restricted stock award
vests upon each of the first three anniversaries of the award date
or, if earlier, upon the officer&amp;#8217;s attainment of age
fifty-five while employed by Nucor. Although participants are
entitled to cash dividends and may vote such awarded shares, the
sale or transfer of such shares is limited during the restricted
period.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

"MARGIN-TOP: 6px; MARGIN-BOTTOM: 0px; MARGIN-LEFT: 4%; TEXT-INDENT: 4%"&gt;
&lt;font face="Times New Roman" size="2"&gt;The AIP provides for the
payment of annual cash incentive awards. An AIP participant may
elect, however, to defer payment of up to one-half of an annual
incentive award. In such event, the deferred AIP award is converted
into common stock units and credited with a deferral incentive, in
the form of additional common stock units, equal to 25% of the
number of common stock units attributable to the deferred AIP
award. Common stock units attributable to deferred AIP awards are
fully vested. Common stock units credited as a deferral incentive
vest upon the AIP participant&amp;#8217;s attainment of age fifty-five
while employed by Nucor. Vested common stock units are paid to AIP
participants in the form of shares of common stock following their
termination of employment with Nucor.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;font face="Times New Roman" size="2"&gt;Compensation expense for
common stock and common stock units awarded under the AIP and LTIP
is recorded over the performance measurement and vesting periods
based on the anticipated number and market value of shares of
common stock and common stock units to be awarded. Compensation
expense for anticipated awards based upon Nucor&amp;#8217;s financial
performance, exclusive of amounts payable in cash, was $1.9 million
and $5.1 million in the second quarter of 2009 and 2008,
respectively, and was $3.3 million and $9.4 million in the first
half of 2009 and 2008, respectively. At July&amp;#160;4, 2009,
unrecognized compensation expense related to unvested restricted
stock was $4.7 million, which is expected to be recognized over a
weighted-average period of 1.6 years.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

Units&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;: Nucor annually grants restricted stock units
(&amp;#8220;RSUs&amp;#8221;) to key employees, officers and non-employee
directors. The RSUs typically vest and are converted to common
stock in three equal installments on each of the first three
anniversaries of the grant date. A portion of the&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

officers vest upon the officer&amp;#8217;s retirement. Retirement, for
purposes of vesting in these units only, means termination of
employment with approval of the Compensation and Executive
Development Committee after satisfying age and years of service
requirements. RSUs granted to non-employee directors are fully
vested on the grant date and are payable to the non-employee
director in the form of common stock after the termination of the
director&amp;#8217;s service on the board of directors.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style=

&lt;font face="Times New Roman" size="2"&gt;RSUs granted to employees who
are eligible for retirement on the date of grant or will become
retirement-eligible prior to the end of the vesting term are
expensed over the period through which the employee will become
retirement-eligible since the awards vest upon retirement from the
Company. Compensation expense for RSUs granted to employees who are
not retirement-eligible is recognized on a straight-line basis over
the vesting period. Cash dividend equivalents are paid to
participants each quarter. Dividend equivalents paid on units
expected to vest are recognized as a reduction in retained
earnings.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

investments in domestic and foreign companies was $580.2 million at
July&amp;#160;4, 2009 ($626.4 million at December&amp;#160;31, 2008) and is
recorded in other assets in the consolidated balance sheets. Our
equity method investment losses were $21.8 million and $7.1 million
in the second quarter of 2009 and 2008, respectively, and were
$59.8 million and $18.4 million in the first half of 2009 and 2008,

&lt;font face="Times New Roman" size="2"&gt;Nucor&amp;#8217;s most
significant equity method investment includes a 50% economic and
voting interest in Duferdofin-Nucor S.r.l., a steel manufacturer
with three structural mills located in Italy. Nucor accounts for
the investment in Duferdofin-Nucor (on a one-month lag basis) under
the equity method, as control and risk of loss are shared equally
between the partners. Duferdofin-Nucor losses attributable to Nucor
included a pre-tax charge to write down inventories to the lower of
cost or market of $15.4 million in the second quarter of 2009 and
$48.9 million in the first six months of 2009.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;font face="Times New Roman" size="2"&gt;Nucor&amp;#8217;s investment in
Duferdofin-Nucor at July&amp;#160;4, 2009 was $536.3 million ($581.9
million at December&amp;#160;31, 2008). Nucor&amp;#8217;s 50% share of the
total net assets of Duferdofin-Nucor on a historical basis was
$47.4 million, resulting in a basis difference of $488.9 million
due to the step-up to fair value of certain assets and liabilities
attributable to Duferdofin-Nucor as well as the identification of
goodwill and definite-lived intangible assets. This basis
difference, excluding the portion attributable to goodwill, is
being amortized based on the remaining estimated useful lives of
the various underlying net assets, as appropriate.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;font face="Times New Roman" size="2"&gt;As of July&amp;#160;4, 2009,
Nucor held a 30&amp;#160;million Euro-denominated ($47.5 million) note
receivable from Duferdofin-Nucor. This note receivable bears
interest at the Euro Interbank Offered Rate (Euribor) twelve month
rate as of the date of the note plus 1%&amp;#160;per year. The interest
rate will reset on September&amp;#160;30, 2009 to the Euribor twelve
month rate plus 1%&amp;#160;per year as of that date. The principal
amount is due on September&amp;#160;30, 2010. Accordingly, this note
receivable has been classified in other assets in the consolidated
balance sheet.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;font face="Times New Roman" size="2"&gt;During the second quarter of
2009, $35.3 million of the goodwill originally allocated to the
steel products segment and $24.7 million of the goodwill originally
allocated to the steel trading businesses included in the
&amp;#8220;all other&amp;#8221; category for the 2008 acquisition of
Ambassador Steel Corporation was reallocated to the steel mills
segment, for a total of $60.0 million. The reallocation was made on
the basis that certain cost synergies will benefit the steel
mills.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;font face="Times New Roman" size="2"&gt;Nucor completed its annual
goodwill impairment testing during the fourth quarter of 2008.
Based on the results of that evaluation, the Company concluded that
there was no impairment of goodwill for any of its reporting units.
The annual evaluation performed in 2008 used forward-looking
projections and included significant expected improvements in the
future cash flows of the Company&amp;#8217;s reporting units. Based on
an ongoing evaluation of relevant facts and circumstances,
including recent performance below expected results, the Company
performed an evaluation of the Buildings Group and Cold Finish
reporting units during the second quarter of 2009. The evaluation
indicated that there was no goodwill impairment at this time. As a
result of the global economic recession, operating results of the
each of these reporting units have fallen in recent months. Nucor
expects operating results to improve when general economic
conditions improve. If our assessment of the relevant facts and
circumstances changes, economic conditions fail to improve, or
actual performance in any of these reporting units falls short of
expected results, noncash impairment charges may be required. Total
goodwill amounts associated with the Buildings Group and Cold
Finish reporting units as of July&amp;#160;4, 2009 were $165.3 million
and $41.2 million, respectively.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

"2"&gt;&lt;b&gt;INVENTORIES:&lt;/b&gt; Inventories consist of approximately 44%
raw materials and supplies and 56% finished and semi-finished
products at July&amp;#160;4, 2009 (47% and 53%, respectively, at
December&amp;#160;31, 2008). Nucor&amp;#8217;s manufacturing process
consists of a continuous, vertically integrated process from which
products are sold to customers at various stages throughout the
process. Since most steel products can be classified as either
finished or semi-finished products, these two categories of
inventory are combined.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/td&gt;

&lt;p style=

&lt;font face="Times New Roman" size="2"&gt;Inventories valued using the
last-in, first-out (LIFO) method of accounting represent
approximately 55% of total inventories as of July&amp;#160;4, 2009 (65%
as of December&amp;#160;31, 2008). If the first-in, first-out (FIFO)
method of accounting had been used, inventories would have been
$693.4 million higher at July&amp;#160;4, 2009 ($923.4 million higher
at December&amp;#160;31, 2008). Use of the lower of cost or market
reduced inventories by $33.3 million at July&amp;#160;4, 2009 ($51.3
million at December&amp;#160;31, 2008).&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

December&amp;#160;31, 2008 condensed consolidated balance sheet data
was derived from audited financial statements but does not include
all disclosures required by accounting principles generally
accepted in the United States of America. The condensed
consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction
with the consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto
included in Nucor&amp;#8217;s annual report for the fiscal year ended
December&amp;#160;31, 2008. Certain amounts for the prior year have
been reclassified to conform to the 2009 presentation. The Company

Accounting Pronouncements&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt; &lt;i&gt;-&lt;/i&gt; In January 2009, Nucor
adopted Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Statement
No.&amp;#160;160, &amp;#8220;Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated
Financial Statements, an amendment of Accounting Research Bulletin
No.&amp;#160;51&amp;#8221; (SFAS 160), which amends current accounting and
reporting for a noncontrolling interest in a subsidiary and the
deconsolidation of a subsidiary. Upon adoption of this standard,
noncontrolling interest of $327.5 million was reclassified to
equity as of December&amp;#160;31, 2008 and the corresponding earnings
attributable to noncontrolling interests for the periods ended
June&amp;#160;28, 2008 have been presented as reconciling items in the
consolidated statements of earnings.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style=
"MARGIN-TOP: 6px; MARGIN-BOTTOM: 0px; MARGIN-LEFT: 4%; TEXT-INDENT: 4%"&gt;
&lt;font face="Times New Roman" size="2"&gt;In January 2009, Nucor
adopted FASB Staff Position (FSP) Emerging Issues Task Force
03-6-1, &amp;#8220;Determining Whether Instruments Granted in
Share-Based Payment Transactions Are Participating
Securities.&amp;#8221; This FSP provides that unvested share-based
payment awards that contain nonforfeitable rights to dividends or
dividend equivalents, whether paid or unpaid, are participating
securities and shall be included in the computation of both basic
and diluted earnings per share. The impact to diluted and basic
earnings per share for the prior year periods due to adoption of
this FSP was not significant.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style=
"MARGIN-TOP: 6px; MARGIN-BOTTOM: 0px; MARGIN-LEFT: 4%; TEXT-INDENT: 4%"&gt;
&lt;font face="Times New Roman" size="2"&gt;In the second quarter of
2009, Nucor adopted FSP FAS 107-1 and Accounting Principles
Bulletin (APB) 28-1, &amp;#8220;Interim Disclosures about Fair Value of
Financial Instruments,&amp;#8221; which requires disclosures about the
fair value of financial instruments for publicly traded companies
for both interim and annual periods. This FSP is effective for
interim reporting periods ending after June&amp;#160;15, 2009 and did
not have a material impact on Nucor&amp;#8217;s consolidated financial
statements. See Note 8, &amp;#8220;Fair Value Measurements,&amp;#8221; for
the relevant disclosures.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style=

&lt;font face="Times New Roman" size="2"&gt;Also in the second quarter of
2009, Nucor adopted SFAS No.&amp;#160;165, &amp;#8220;Subsequent
Events,&amp;#8221; which establishes the accounting for and disclosure
of events that occur after the balance sheet date but before
financial statements are issued or are available to be issued. SFAS
165 requires the disclosure of the date through which an entity has
evaluated subsequent events. See Note 1, &amp;#8220;Basis for Interim
Presentation,&amp;#8221; for the relevant disclosures. The adoption of
SFAS 165 did not have a material impact on Nucor&amp;#8217;s
consolidated financial statements.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;font face="Times New Roman" size="2"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;Recently Issued
Accounting Pronouncements&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt; - In June 2009, the FASB issued
SFAS No.&amp;#160;167, &amp;#8220;Amendments to FASB Interpretation
No.&amp;#160;46(R).&amp;#8221; This standard amends certain requirements of
FASB Interpretation No.&amp;#160;46 (revised December 2003),
&amp;#8220;Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities,&amp;#8221;
regarding financial reporting by enterprises involved with variable
interest entities and to provide more relevant and reliable
information to users of financial statements. This standard becomes
effective for Nucor in the first quarter of 2010. Management is
currently evaluating the impact of this statement.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style=
"MARGIN-TOP: 6px; MARGIN-BOTTOM: 0px; MARGIN-LEFT: 4%; TEXT-INDENT: 4%"&gt;
&lt;font face="Times New Roman" size="2"&gt;In July 2009, the FASB issued
SFAS No.&amp;#160;168, &amp;#8220;The FASB Accounting Standards
Codification and the Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting
Principles, a replacement of FASB Statement No.&amp;#160;162,&amp;#8221;
which establishes the FASB Accounting Standards Codification as the
source of authoritative non-governmental generally accepted
accounting principles (GAAP). SFAS 168 will be effective for Nucor
in the third quarter of 2009 and will not have a material effect on
the Company&amp;#8217;s financial statements.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

Duferdofin-Nucor. The steel products segment includes steel joists
and joist girders, steel deck, fabricated concrete reinforcing
steel, cold finished steel, steel fasteners, metal building
systems, light gauge steel framing, steel grating and expanded
metal, and wire and wire mesh. The raw materials segment includes
The David J. Joseph Company, the scrap broker and processor that
Nucor acquired on February&amp;#160;29, 2008; Nu-Iron Unlimited, a
facility that produces direct reduced iron used by the steel mills;
and certain equity method investments. The &amp;#8220;All other&amp;#8221;

business. The segments are consistent with the way Nucor manages
