Item 1. Business

Statements of our belief in this section are based on our own internal studies or research, estimates of members of our senior sales management team, our knowledge of the industry or other information we have internally compiled.

Introduction

We are the leading producer of flat rolled steel in the western United States based on tonnage billed. We produce the widest range of flat rolled steel products in the region, including hot rolled, cold rolled and galvanized coil and sheet. We also produce electric resistance welded (referred to herein as ERW) pipe. Unlike integrated steel mills and mini-mills, we do not manufacture steel. Rather, we process steel slab manufactured by third parties. Our principal market consists of the 11 states located west of the Rocky Mountains. We have two main competitors located in the western United States. Steel products are also supplied to the western United States via imports from foreign companies and from domestic suppliers located outside the western United States. We believe our slab-based business model, breadth of products, non-union work environment, southern California location and long-standing customer relationships provide us with significant advantages over our competition.

Industry Overview

The steel industry is cyclical in nature. It is influenced by a combination of factors including periods of economic growth or recession, strength or weakness of the U.S. dollar, worldwide production capacity, levels of steel imports and tariffs. Consolidation of the industry, though a series of mergers and acquisitions, has significantly reduced the number of steel producing companies throughout the world. This has brought some stability to market conditions. However, steel, regardless of product type, responds to forces of supply and demand. Prices fluctuate in reaction to general and industry-specific economic conditions.

There are generally two types of steel producers: “integrated mills” and “mini-mills.” Steel manufacturing by an integrated producer includes iron making from raw materials, such as iron ore and coal in a blast furnace, followed by steelmaking, slab making, reheating and further rolling into coil or other shapes. A mini-mill is a steel producer that uses an electric arc furnace rather than a blast furnace to melt steel from ferrous scrap metal.

Unlike integrated steel mills and mini-mills, we do not manufacture steel. Rather, we process steel slab manufactured by third parties. As a result, we do not have the fixed costs associated with the manufacturing of steel. Historically, raw material costs comprise approximately 70% to 75% of our cost of goods sold. In the past few years, raw materials costs have increased due to higher slab and zinc costs; hence, our raw materials costs were approximately 80% of our cost of goods sold. We believe we are one of the largest purchasers of steel slab in the world. Our purchasing power provides us with the ability to negotiate favorable terms and conditions for steel slab from low cost and high quality producers throughout the world. Generally, prices of our flat rolled steel products have experienced a correlation to the prices of steel slab. Although we remain subject to the cyclicality inherent in the steel industry, we believe this correlation, combined with our slab-based business model, has historically protected our operating margins when compared to other flat rolled steel producers.

Recent Industry Conditions

As noted in the “Industry Overview” above, the steel industry is cyclical in nature. During the majority of 2007, demand for flat rolled products was lower than typical due to overall macroeconomics factors such as housing, sub-prime loans and imports from China. Due to the International Trade Commission ruling against imported tubing from China, demand from local tubing manufacturers returned to normal levels late in the third quarter and continued throughout the remainder of 2007. The year was characterized by a transition period for service centers which started the year with high inventory levels and finished 2007 with inventory levels at historic lows. In general, during 2007, the domestic market experienced lower prices and softer demand when compared to international markets. This marketing change kept pricing in the U.S. lower than the levels sold elsewhere in the world. We were impacted by this aggressive pricing for all of 2007.

Demand for ERW pipe products, however, was robust in 2007. This is anticipated to continue through the first half of 2008, with the construction of gas and oil pipelines throughout the western United States.

Products and Customers

Our principal product lines are hot rolled coil and sheet, cold rolled coil and sheet, galvanized coil and sheet and electric resistance welded (ERW) pipe. The following table sets forth our billed tons by product category as a percentage of total shipments for the periods indicated:

The western U.S. steel market is comprised of many consumers typically requiring small order sizes with a wide variety of metallurgical qualities and specifications. In contrast, the majority of other U.S. steel markets primarily depend on heavy-tonnage steel consumers like the automotive and durable goods manufacturing industries. We believe that the western United States’ smaller and more diverse customer base helps balance pricing power between the consumer and the supplier. Instead of competing solely on price, we believe we benefit from having customers that place greater value on our competitive strengths, including integrated service, timeliness of delivery and ability to meet unique customer needs. We further believe that we benefit from our strategic location in Fontana, California.

We have approximately 200 active customers, with no single customer accounting for more than 6% of our 2007 net sales. Our customers include service and processing centers, construction and building material companies, roofing and decking manufacturers, tubing manufacturers, oil and gas producers and distributors, aftermarket automotive manufacturers, as well as various customers in other industries.

We do not actively pursue sales in foreign markets, and we make foreign sales only when they are economically advantageous to us. In 2007, we sold approximately 7,323 tons of steel products to foreign customers, primarily in Canada, which represented less than 1% of our total 2007 tons billed.

Historically, hot rolled coil and sheet is our largest product category as measured by tons billed per year. Our customers use hot rolled steel for a variety of manufacturing applications, including the production of spiral weld pipe, automobile wheels and rims, strapping, tubing and a variety of construction related products. In 2007, we directed approximately 35.2% of our hot rolled production to outside sales, and we further processed approximately 64.8% internally for our own higher-margin, value added product needs.

Cold rolled coil and sheet are used in exposed steel applications where high surface quality is important. Typically, cold rolled material is coated or painted. Applications for our cold rolled products include electronic cabinetry, tubing and a variety of construction related products. In 2007, we directed approximately 21.4% of our cold rolled reduction production to outside sales, and we further processed approximately 78.6% internally for our own higher-margin, value added product needs.

Galvanized coil and sheet is produced by adding a coating of zinc to cold rolled steel, and in some instances, to hot rolled steel, for additional corrosion resistance. We believe we offer the broadest range of thicknesses, widths and coatings of galvanized products in the western U.S. market. Applications for our galvanized coil product include a variety of construction related products such as roofing, decking, studs, tubing, and heating, venting and air conditioning equipment (HVAC).

We supply ERW pipe with diameters ranging from 6.625” to 16.0”. The principal end-users of our ERW pipe production are oil and gas transmission lines. We also sell standard pipe to industrial accounts for load bearing and low-pressure applications.

Operations

We initially began operations in 1984 utilizing certain purchased assets from the former Kaiser Steel Corporation. Based on a business model that depended on the purchase of semi-finished steel slab from third party vendors, we were the first company in the United States to operate steel rolling mills without a dedicated source of slab feedstock. Significant business success and market acceptance of our slab based business model encouraged us to consider a modernization program designed to increase production and improve our product mix.

2

In 2001, we completed a $265.0 million modernization program that allowed us to improve our product quality, double production volumes, and increase our percentage of high value added products to our product mix. Since the completion of our modernization program, we have continued to make selective investments designed to keep our facilities competitive or reduce operating costs. Total capital spending in 2007 was $33.1 million on various upgrades to our production facilities as well as safety and environmental improvements. During 2007, the Board approved the construction of the second reheat furnace with state-of-the-art environmental technology which will increase our capacity to produce an additional one million tons. This new reheat furnace will serve as a backup to our existing furnace and furthermore, we will be prepared for the next up turn in the market. The total cost of the project is estimated to be approximately $71.0 million and is expected to be completed in October 2009.

Production efficiencies continue to be gained through improved operating and maintenance practices, targeted capital investments and enhanced production planning and quality control procedures. We believe the success of our modernization program contributes to our being a low cost producer of flat rolled steel products.

Hot Strip Rolling and Finishing Mills

We produce hot rolled coil from slab in our hot strip mill. A walking beam furnace reheats slab, directs it to a multi-stand rolling mill to reduce thickness and roll it into coil. Equipped with an automatic gauge control system and technologically advanced computer controls, the hot strip mill currently possesses a throughput capacity of approximately 2.2 million tons annually and can produce hot rolled coil in gauges from 0.053” to 0.625”.

The hot strip mill facility is primarily composed of the following:

• A walking beam furnace with a capacity of approximately 6,900 tons of slab per day; and

• An 86” mill which consists of five roughing stands, a scale breaker, six finishing stands and two down coilers.

In addition, the hot strip finishing lines are composed of the following:

• An 80” coil slitter line that can trim product up to 0.375” in thickness and can be easily adjusted to meet a variety of customer-specified widths; and

• 3 skin pass lines used for surface and other coil improvements.

Continuous Pickle Line

We can further process hot rolled coil on the 62-inch continuous pickle line for direct sales to our customers or for our own cold rolling and galvanizing production. The continuous pickle line is a conventional horizontal design with a coil entry section, welder, hot water preheat tanks, acid tanks, water rinse, dryer, looper, side trimmer, coiler, oiling equipment and scale. The line can currently yield up to approximately 1.45 million tons per year.

Five Stand Cold Reduction Mill

Pickled and oiled material may be further processed through the five stand cold reduction mill, which reduces the pickled steel strip from a gauge range of 0.075” to 0.225” to a range of 0.0098” to 0.1384” in thickness, with a maximum width of 60”. In the cold reduction process, pickled and oiled coils pass through five stands, arranged in tandem, with a predetermined amount of reduction taken on each stand until the final thickness is achieved upon exiting the fifth stand. Reductions are taken in one pass. The capacity of the five stand cold reduction mill is 1.43 million tons per year. Most material is further processed through the cold sheet mill or galvanized mills.

Cold Sheet Mill

Cold rolled sheet is hot rolled steel that has been further processed through the continuous pickle line and five stand cold reduction mill and is then processed through an annealing furnace and temper mill, improving uniformity, ductility and formability. Cold rolling can also impart various surface finishes and textures. Cold rolled steel is used in applications that demand higher quality or finish.

The cold rolled facility, with a current annual finished capacity of approximately 360,000 tons, includes the following:

• An electrolytic cleaning line;

• Twenty hydrogen annealing bases; and

3

• A 60” temper mill.

After cold reduction at the five stand cold reduction mill, the coil may be cleaned in a 200-feet to 1,000-feet per minute electrolytic cleaning line and then annealed. Hydrogen annealing is a process that heats steel coils to annealing temperatures in a pure hydrogen atmosphere and then slowly allows the steel coils to cool. This process restores ductility to our steel products that is lost as a result of cold reduction rolling. The strip is then run through final production in a 60” temper mill, where the steel is tempered to specified finish, shape and gauge.

Galvanizing Mills

Galvanized coil and sheet represent our highest value added products, requiring the greatest degree of processing and quality controls. We produce galvanized sheet by taking cold rolled coils, and in some instances, hot rolled coils, heating it in an annealing furnace and run the sheet steel, while still hot, through a pot of molten zinc. As the steel strip leaves the pot, coating controls ensure product specifications match customer requirements. The steel’s corrosion resistance makes it ideal for applications like air conditioning units, air ducts, metal ties, studs, siding, decking and roofing.

We currently operate two continuous galvanizing lines and believe that our galvanizing facilities can produce the full range of coated steel. The first continuous galvanizing line is horizontally configured and produces gauges from 0.016” to 0.173”, with a capacity of 482,000 tons per year. The second continuous galvanizing line is vertically configured and produces gauges from 0.010” to 0.057”, with a capacity of 372,000 tons per year.

Electric Resistance Welded (ERW) Pipe Mill

We produce ERW pipe by roll forming hot rolled skelp into a pipe shape, welding the edges together with a high frequency welder, annealing the weld and cutting the finished product to length on a continuous line. The ERW pipe may then undergo additional testing and/or finishing operations like hydrotesting and end beveling.

The pipe mill produces pipe with outside diameters ranging from 6.625” to 16” and wall thickness ranging from 0.156” to 0.375”, with lengths available up to 63 feet without mid-weld. Process coating is available through local coating applicators, one of whom leases space on our property. The ERW pipe mill has a current capacity of approximately 260,000 tons per year.

Semi-Finished Steel Slab and Suppliers

Steel slab is a semi-finished steel raw material in rectangular form and is generally the first form taken by molten steel after it solidifies. The principal users of steel slab are steel producers or processors that roll slab into finished products like plate or coil.

Historically, raw material costs comprise approximately 70% to 75% of our cost of goods sold. In the past few years, raw materials costs have increased due to higher slab and zinc costs; hence, our raw materials costs were approximately 80% of our cost of goods sold. We believe we are one of the largest importers and one of the largest purchasers of slab in the world. We purchase slab from a diverse group of foreign suppliers to obtain high quality steel at competitive cost through reliable sources. Our foreign vendors are located in Brazil, Mexico, Australia, Japan, Russia, Venezuela, Netherlands and the United Kingdom.

We typically make our slab purchases on a quarterly basis. As of December 31, 2007 we were committed, in the form of open purchase orders, to purchase approximately $77.7 million in steel slabs. We negotiate slab procurement for longer periods when our purchasing power combined with market conditions provide us with the opportunity to negotiate on terms which we believe are favorable to us. However, due to high demand for slabs in international markets, slab cost in 2007 was approximately 20% higher compared to 2006.

Although we are not reliant on any one single vendor, in 2007, we purchased approximately 34% of our slab from Companhia Siderurgica de Tubarão of Brazil (“CST-Arcelor Mittal”), approximately 20% from Bluescope Steel of Australia and approximately 18% from Arcelor Mittal Steel Lazaro Cardenas of Mexico.

In 2005, we completed the sale of our 4% interest in the common stock of CST to Arcelor S.A. (“Arcelor”). All slab purchases with CST before the sale of our interest to Arcelor were negotiated on an “arm’s length” basis and in accordance with market conditions. Accordingly, we continue to purchase slab from CST when we believe terms are favorable.

We negotiate with a variety of shipping companies to deliver our slab directly to the Port of Los Angeles. The vessels are loaded following a specific stowage plan that we developed. The plan is designed to provide high productivity rates at both the loading and unloading sites. Our agents are on site for the loading of each shipment. After unloading, the slab is

4

transported to our facility by rail using the services of Burlington Northern Santa Fe Railroad. Our current contract with Burlington Northern Santa Fe Railroad is effective through December 2013. This agreement provides us with transportation services at fixed rates and ensures us a dedicated level of rail availability through the term of the agreement. Additionally, Burlington Northern Santa Fe Railroad utilizes rail cars designed specifically to transport steel slab. We believe this improves the efficiency and safety of steel slab transportation through our community.

We believe that our integrated slab procurement system allows us to manage our slab inventory levels and improve tonnage levels as well as the slab quality necessary to meet our customers’ order specifications. As of December 2007, we had what we believed to be firm commitments to sell approximately 198,000 tons. Based on our average sales price at that time, the sales value was approximately $138,123,000. As of December 2006, we had what we believed to be firm commitments to sell approximately 122,000 tons. Based on our average sales price at that time, the sales value was approximately $92,663,000.

Marketing and Customer Service

We believe that we provide a high level of customer service and product support in the western U.S. market. Our emphasis on customer service and product quality has enabled us to establish long-standing relationships with our customers. Our relationships with 90% of our top 30 customers extend beyond 10 years. We attribute this customer loyalty, in large part, to the successful execution of our marketing strategies to provide a broad range of products and our ability to provide consistent service, reliable product availability and ancillary value added services.

We are the only producer of flat rolled steel products located in the western United States who can supply hot rolled, cold rolled and galvanized coil and sheet. We also produce ERW pipe in diameters ranging from 6.625” to 16.0”. We believe that we are well equipped to provide “one-stop shopping” for our customers and we believe that this maximizes sales opportunities and increases the convenience and value of the service we provide to customers. We will continue to invest in the quality of our products across all product lines, allowing us to market ourselves as a full-service provider of flat rolled steel in the region.

Our location in southern California not only gives us a significant freight cost advantage over our competitors, but also allows us to provide a more service-oriented approach to our customers. Our operating structure allows us to respond quickly to changes in the timing of customer requirements, adjust schedules, source stock inventory and meet specialized shipping needs. Our ability to deliver made-to-order products in a timely manner allows our customers to maximize their inventory turns and meet production targets. By maintaining a regional focus, we believe that we can most effectively service our customers and achieve our goal of increasing market share in higher margin value added products.

As part of our strategy to provide superior customer service, upon request of our current and prospective customers, we offer ancillary services such as engineering and metallurgical services to assist such customers with specific product needs. Substantial portions of our customers are small to medium-sized businesses. As a result, many do not have the resources to employ a sophisticated metallurgical engineering staff. Our metallurgical engineers work with our customers on a daily basis, often on site, providing advisory services focused on reducing procurement costs and improving overall production efficiency. These services are provided at no charge and no revenues are generated for such services.

Competition

The steel industry is cyclical in nature and highly competitive. We compete with domestic and foreign steel producers on the basis of customer service, product quality and price. We believe that the competitive landscape within the steel industry will continue to evolve, especially as mergers and acquisitions continue worldwide. We believe that because of our slab-based business model, breadth of products, non-union work environment, southern California location and long-standing customer relationships, we are well positioned to meet competitive threats. However, some of our competitors are larger and may have substantially greater capital resources, more modern technology and lower production costs than us, as well as, excess production capacity in some products which could exert downward pressure on prices for some of our products in the future.

We are also subject to general economic trends and conditions, such as the presence or absence of sustained economic growth and currency exchange rates. We are particularly sensitive to trends in the construction, oil and gas transmission industries because these industries are significant markets for our steel products. If there were a downturn in one or more of these industries, our sales volume, prices, profitability and liquidity could be adversely affected.

U.S. Competition

High transportation costs have historically deterred mid-western and eastern steel producers from accessing the western United States market. This condition changed in 2007 as the mid-western producers elected to produce at 87%-89% of their

5

rated capacity in a market that could not absorb this high level of production. They maintained this high level of production by exporting product and shipping into the western United States. This marketing change kept pricing in the U.S. lower than the levels sold elsewhere in the world. We were impacted by this aggressive pricing for all of 2007. With the cyclical nature of the business, we were already seeing a lessening of the impact of material from the mid-western mills in 2008 as demand for their product has returned to levels that do not require them to ship into the western U.S. to maintain their production volume levels. However, a change in the competition from these mills at any significant level could negatively impact sales tonnage and average sales prices.

In hot rolled products, our principal domestic competition comes from a number of producers located in the Midwestern United States; however, this is cyclical in nature, based on economic conditions in the mid-western markets. Some hot rolled products are produced by Evraz Oregon Steel Mills, located in Portland, Oregon, although Evraz Oregon Steel Mills typically ships to customers located in the northwestern United States. USS-POSCO Industries (UPI), located in Pittsburg, California is our principal competitor in galvanized and cold rolled products. We also compete in the galvanized market with Steelscape, Inc., which operates facilities located in Kalama, Washington and Rancho Cucamonga, California. We face increasing competition from producers of materials such as aluminum, composites, plastics and concrete that compete with steel in many markets.

Foreign Competition

Historically, foreign steel producers have competed in the western United States in all of our product categories. Although imported steel has relatively long lead times to reach the western United States markets, economic and currency dislocations in foreign markets may encourage importers to target the United States with excess capacity at aggressive prices. Some foreign producers benefit from low labor costs, weak local currencies and government subsidies. Imported steel, in particular galvanized steel from China, negatively impacted the price levels sold during 2007. With the change in the Chinese government’s approach to restricting the steel products they export, we think the impact of their exports will not have a dramatic effect, as seen previously. Import steel shipped into the western United States will always be an important factor as the production levels for steel in the western U.S. do not meet the demand requirements. Imported steel has a negative impact when volume levels surge or when product is sold substantially lower than the market price. We are seeing a more normal volume and pricing of imported steel during 2008.

Employee Relations

At December 31, 2007, we had 933 full-time employees. We believe we have the largest non-union workforce located at any one steel facility in the United States. We provide our employees with supplemental work training and education programs. Our officers also routinely discuss our business plan with them. We believe that we have a good relationship with our employees.

Environmental Matters

Compliance with environmental laws and regulations is a significant factor in our business. We are subject to various federal, state and local environmental laws and regulations concerning, among other things, air emissions, waste water discharges and hazardous materials handling and waste disposal. We own property and conduct or have conducted operations at properties that are contaminated with hazardous materials and will require investigation and remediation according to federal, state or local environmental laws and regulations. Expenditures on environmental matters, including expenditures on pollution control equipment and remediation activities, totaled approximately $1.4 million in 2005, $1.3 million in 2006 and $1.3 million in 2007. We plan to spend approximately $1.5 million in 2008.

In 1996, we entered into an Expedited Remedial Action Voluntary Enforceable Agreement with the California Environmental Protection Agency, Department of Toxic Substances Control (“DTSC”). This agreement superseded a Voluntary and Enforceable Agreement and Imminent and/or Substantial Endangerment Order issued by the Department in 1992 and amended in 1994. According to the agreement, we engaged an environmental consultant to conduct a remedial investigation and develop a remediation plan and remediation cost projections based upon that plan. Utilizing the remediation plan developed by the environmental consultant, we developed an estimate for future costs of the remediation plan. The total aggregate cost of remediation was estimated to be approximately $1.8 million, which was accrued in 2002 and is included in other liabilities in 2007 and 2006 consolidated financial statements. The DTSC has not yet completed its review and approval of our remediation plan; however, preliminary discussions with the DTSC have not indicated the need for any significant changes to the remediation plan or to the Company’s estimate of related costs. The estimate of costs could change as a result of changes to the remediation plan required by the DTSC or unforeseen circumstances, including without limitations, unknown site conditions, changes to applicable regulations or increased enforcement requirements by the regulators existing at the site.

(2) EBITDA is defined as net income, plus income taxes, net interest expense and depreciation and amortization. In the Company’s presentation of EBITDA, as adjusted, we also included non-cash unamortized deferred cost of $2,155,000 on 8.5% senior notes redeemed in 2004. EBITDA, as adjusted, is not intended to represent cash flows from operations, cash flows from investing or cash flows from financing activities as defined by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and should not be considered as an alternative to cash flow or a measure of liquidity or as an alternative to net earnings (loss) as indicative of operating performance. EBITDA, as adjusted, is included because management believes that investors find it a useful tool for measuring the Company’s ability to service its debt.

EBITDA, as adjusted, is reconciled to cash flows provided by operating activities, the most comparable measure under generally accepted accounting principles as follows (in thousands):

Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

Introduction

From Fontana, California, the Company produces flat rolled steel products: hot rolled, cold rolled, and galvanized, as well as ERW pipe, with a current annual finished shipment capability of approximately 2.0 million tons. The Company services a broad range of customers with applications that include pipe and tubing, heating, ventilating and air conditioning, strapping, drums, steel wheels and a variety of construction related products.

The Company ships products by truck and rail to manufacturers, contractors and distributors primarily in the 11 states west of the Rocky Mountains. The Company generally sells products free on board (FOB) shipping point, and title is transferred when products are loaded for shipment. The Company recognizes revenue from product sales when products are shipped or delivered to the customer, depending on the terms of the sale. For products shipped FOB shipping point, revenue is recognized at the time of shipment and title has transferred to the customer. For products shipped FOB destination, revenue is recognized at the time of delivery and title is transferred to the customer. The Company’s revenue is dependent on the volume, product mix and sales prices of its products. General economic conditions as well as the supply and demand of steel

10

products within the Company’s market influence sales prices. Management generally set its sales prices quarterly, and maintains no long-term sales agreements.

Cost of goods sold consists primarily of raw materials, labor, natural gas, electricity and depreciation. Raw material costs have historically comprised approximately 70% to 75% of the Company’s cost of goods sold. In 2007, the Company’s raw material costs continued to remain above its historical average at approximately 80% of its costs of goods sold as a result of higher slab and zinc costs. The Company’s slab consumption unit cost in 2007 was 20% higher than 2006 and 13% higher than 2005.

The Company generally purchases steel slab in boatload quantities. Imported slab arrives on chartered vessels in the Port of Los Angeles and is transported by rail to its Fontana facility. The Company generally purchases steel slab on open negotiated payment terms. Steel slab consumption costs include the FOB value of steel slab, quality extras, ocean transportation, rail freight, duties, unloading, insurance and handling costs. Historically, the Company has negotiated slab FOB prices quarterly and other rates through contracts of varying lengths. The Company’s purchasing power and management’s extensive knowledge of the worldwide slab market continues to provide the Company with the opportunity to negotiate with slab suppliers on terms that management believes are favorable. However, due to high demand for slabs in international markets, slab cost in 2007 was approximately 20% higher compared to 2006. Management will continue to actively manage slab procurement to minimize costs and may opportunistically purchase slab in the future.

The Company uses zinc in the production of its galvanized products. The Company currently purchases zinc from various suppliers. Zinc is purchased on a monthly basis with both fixed price and floating price contracts and is priced using a formula tied to the London Metals Exchange zinc index plus negotiated delivery premiums. As zinc prices have been at historically high levels, the Company did not lock in pricing for any of its zinc requirements for 2008.

The Company’s daily average electrical demand is approximately 35 megawatts to operate production equipment in manufacturing its product. The Company is currently a full-service bundled utility customer of Southern California Edison. During 2008, the Company’s electricity costs are not expected to change materially from 2007 levels. In 2007, the Company’s electricity costs accounted for approximately 2.2% of its cost of goods sold compared to approximately 2.8% in 2006.

The Company generally utilizes a daily average of approximately 12,000 million British thermal units, or MMBTUs, of natural gas to produce its products. To stabilize price volatility, management regularly uses a risk management approach to fix the price on portions of the Company’s natural gas requirements up to two years ahead through financial and/or physical hedging arrangements. These arrangements include fixed-price contracts for the New York Mercantile Exchange (“NYMEX”), and/or the Southern California border basis (basis represents the difference between the NYMEX price at Henry Hub, Louisiana and the price at the Southern California border).

The Company currently has in place fixed price purchase agreements for approximately 20% of its natural gas commodity requirements for 2008, and approximately 19% of basis. Management continues to monitor the near and long term price trends of natural gas and may enter into additional purchase agreements when deemed appropriate or when opportunities present themselves. In 2007, the Company’s natural gas costs accounted for approximately 2.2% of its cost of goods sold compared to approximately 3.1% in 2006.

Selling, general and administrative expenses consist primarily of sales and labor, and various administrative expenses. In 2007, labor costs comprised approximately 50% of the Company’s total selling, general and administrative expenses compared to 55% in 2006.

Results of Operations

The steel industry is cyclical in nature. During the majority of 2007 demand for flat rolled products was lower than typical due to overall macroeconomics factors such as housing, sub-prime loans and imports from China. Due to the International Trade Commission ruling against imported tubing from China, demand from local tubing manufacturers returned to normal levels late in the third quarter and continued throughout the remainder of 2007. The year was characterized by a transition period for service centers which started the year with high inventory levels and finished 2007 with inventory levels at historic lows. In general, during 2007, the domestic market experienced lower prices and softer demand when compared to international markets. This marketing change kept pricing in the U.S. lower than the levels sold elsewhere in the world. We were impacted by this aggressive pricing for all of 2007.

Demand for ERW pipe products, however, was robust in 2007. This is anticipated to continue through the first half of 2008, with the construction of gas and oil pipelines throughout the western United States.

Year Ended December 31, 2007 Compared to Year Ended December 31, 2006

Net sales. Net sales were $1,282,967,000 for the year ended December 31, 2007, a decrease of $75,795,000, or 5.6%, compared to net sales of $1,358,762,000 for the same period in 2006. The Company sold 1,727,930 net tons in 2007, a decrease of 202,248 net tons, or 10.5%, when compared to 1,930,178 net tons sold in 2006. The decrease in billed tons decreased the Company’s net sales by $142,517,000. The average sales price in 2007 is higher by more than $9 per ton compared to the average sales price in 2006, which increased net sales approximately $17,753,000. Additionally, higher value product mix in 2007 also contributed to an increase in net sales by $289,000 compared to 2006.

Gross profit. Gross profit decreased $185,446,000 to $30,471,000 for the year ended December 31, 2007 compared to gross profit of $215,917,000 in 2006. Gross profit as a percentage of net sales also decreased to 2.4% in 2007 from 15.9% in 2006. The decrease in gross profit is attributable to the decrease in sales volume and an increase in raw material consumption costs which increased 7.7% compared to 2006.

Selling, general and administrative (SG&A) expenses. SG&A expenses were $28,478,000 for the year ended December 31, 2007, a decrease of $1,318,000 compared to SG&A expenses of $29,796,000 in 2006. The decrease is attributable to a decrease in profit sharing expense. Profit sharing is calculated on income and as income was lower in 2007, the SG&A expenses decreased. SG&A remained constant at 2.2% of net sales for 2007 and 2006, respectively.

Net interest expense. Net interest expense was $10,528,000 for the year ended December 31, 2007, an increase of $5,372,000 compared to net interest expenses of $5,156,000 in 2006. The increase in net interest expense is largely attributable to a higher average outstanding debt and lower interest income earned during 2007 compared to 2006. Interest expense is net of interest income and capitalized interest. Interest income for the year ended December 31, 2007 and 2006 was $502,000 and $5,316,000, respectively. Capitalized interest for the year ended December 31, 2007 and 2006 was $86,000 and $46,000, respectively.

Other income. Other income, net was $5,270,000 for the year ended December 31, 2007, an increase of $5,421,000 compared to an expense of $151,000 in 2006. Other income is comprised of miscellaneous income items such as rental income, proceeds from legal settlements, refund from anti dumping subsidy, refund of property taxes, etc. As many of these items occur infrequently or result in a one-time recognition of income, this category is subject to significant fluctuation from year to year.

Income tax (benefit) expense. Income tax benefit was $3,364,000 for the year ended December 31, 2007, a decrease of $73,900,000 compared to income tax expense of $70,536,000 in 2006. This decrease is attributable to the decrease of pretax income from last year. The effective tax rate benefit of 2007 was 78.8% compared to an effective tax rate of 39.3% in 2006. The increase in effective tax rate was attributable to the change in unrecognized tax benefits due to settlements, a decrease in tax positions of prior years and due to lower taxable income, which is adjusted by permanent differences which remained constant.

Net (loss) income. Net loss was $906,000 for the year ended December 31, 2007 compared to net income of $108,985,000 in 2006.

Year Ended December 31, 2006 Compared to Year Ended December 31, 2005

Net sales. Net sales were $1,358,762,000 for the year ended December 31, 2006, an increase of $124,376,000, or 10.1%, compared to net sales of $1,234,386,000 in 2005. The Company’s average sales price increased by more than $23 per ton increasing net sales approximately $33,548,000 while an increase in volume added approximately $80,741,000 to net sales. The Company sold 1,930,178 net tons in 2006, an increase of 116,147 net tons, when compared to 1,814,031 net tons in 2005. This increase is attributable to an increase in demand for the Company’s products as a result of market conditions. The change in product mix increased the Company’s net sales approximately $11,371,000 compared to prior year.

12

Gross profit. Gross profit increased $101,799,000 to $215,917,000 for the year ended December 31, 2006 compared to gross profit of $114,118,000 in 2005. Gross profit as a percentage of net sales also increased to 15.9% in 2006 from 9.2% in 2005. The main reason for the increase in the Company’s gross profit was the result of increase sales volume at a higher average sales price per ton and lower average slab costs in 2006 compared to 2005. The higher zinc consumption cost per ton partially offset the increase in gross profit attributable to in the increase in sales volume at a higher average sales price per ton as well as the lower average slab costs in 2006.

Selling, general and administrative (SG&A) expenses. SG&A expenses were $29,796,000 for the year ended December 31, 2006, an increase of $2,127,000 compared to SG&A expenses of $27,669,000 in 2005. The increase is primarily due to salaries and wages, including profit sharing. However, the Company’s SG&A remained constant at 2.2% of net sales for 2006 and 2005, respectively.

Gain (loss) on disposition of property, plant and equipment (PP&E). For the year ended December 31, 2006, the Company suffered a net loss of $1,293,000 on the disposition of PP&E compared to a net gain of $2,071,000 in 2005. This change was mainly attributable to the gain on the sale of surplus land of $3,600,000 sold in 2005. There was no such gain in 2006.

Net interest expense. Net interest expense was $5,156,000 for the year ended December 31, 2006, a decrease of $6,143,000 compared to net interest expense of $11,299,000 in 2005. The decrease in net interest expense is attributable to an increase in interest income of $4,151,000 over 2005. The increase in interest income is due to the higher cash balance maintained during the year. Interest expense is net of interest income and capitalized interest. Interest income for the year ended December 31, 2006 and 2005 was $5,316,000 and $1,165,000, respectively. Capitalized interest for the year ended December 31, 2006 and 2005 was $46,000 and $106,000, respectively.

Other income. Other expense was $151,000 for the year ended December 31, 2006, a decrease of $3,459,000 compared to other income of $3,308,000 in 2005. Other income is comprised of miscellaneous income items such as rental income, proceeds from legal settlements, refund from anti dumping subsidy, refund of property taxes, etc. As many of these items occur infrequently or result in a one-time recognition of income, this category is subject to significant fluctuation from year to year.

Income tax expense. Income tax expense was $70,536,000 for the year ended December 31, 2006, an increase of $33,372,000 compared to income tax expense of $37,164,000 in 2005. This increase is attributable to the increase of pretax income from last year. The effective tax rate of 2006 was 39.3% compared to an effective tax rate of 46.1% in 2005. The decrease in effective tax rate was attributable to foreign tax credits and an increase in state tax deductions.

Net income. Net income was $108,985,000 for the year ended December 31, 2006 compared to net income of $43,365,000 in 2005.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

At December 31, 2007, the Company had $13,630,000 in cash and cash equivalents and over $82,700,000 in financing available under its revolving credit facility. During the year, cash flow from operations provided $37,281,000, which consisted of a $906,000 in net loss, $31,624,000 in depreciation and amortization expense, $1,005,000 on the loss on the disposition of property, plant and equipment, a cash flow increase of $7,113,000 in deferred income taxes and a net cash flow decrease of $1,555,000 due to changes in assets and liabilities. Operating cash flow increased as a result of a $30,695,000 decrease in accounts receivable, a $24,735,000 decrease in inventories, a $31,000 increase in accrued interest expense and a $1,590,000 increase in uncertain tax position. Operating cash flow decreased as a result of a $102,000 increase in other receivables and prepaid expenses, a $34,737,000 decrease in accounts payable, an $18,234,000 decrease in income tax payable and a $5,533,000 decrease in other accrued expenses and liabilities. Cash flow from investing activities consisted of $33,065,000 in capital expenditures, $834,000 for removal cost on the disposition of property, plant and equipment and $630,000 in additions to intangible assets. Cash flow from financing activities consisted of $26,500,000 net borrowings under the revolver and a dividend payment of $21,183,000 on the Company’s common stock. In 2007, the Company also paid $9,187,500, representing payment of interest on its 6.125% senior notes due in 2014.

The Company is currently in negotiation to obtain an unsecured five-year Term Loan for $40,000,000 to finance the construction of the second reheat furnace.

In September 2005, the Company entered into a five year $110,000,000 credit facility with a bank group led by Mizuho Corporate Bank, as administrative agent and a lender, The Bank of Tokyo-Mitsubishi, Ltd., Citibank (West), FSB and Wells Fargo Bank. Subject to the satisfaction of customary conditions and a borrowing base, advances under this credit facility may

13

be made at any time prior to the credit facility termination date. As of December 31, 2007, outstanding borrowings were $26,500,000 under this facility. The credit facility is collateralized by accounts receivable and inventory. Advances under this facility may be used for letters of credit, working capital, capital expenditures, payment of dividends and other lawful corporate purposes, including the refinancing of existing debt.

On March 22, 2004, the Company issued an aggregate of $150,000,000 of ten-year, 6.125% senior unsecured notes due in March 2014. With the proceeds of this issuance and cash on hand, the Company retired its 8.50% senior notes due in 2009. Interest on its 6.125% senior notes is payable on March 15 and September 15 of each year. The notes are senior in right of payment to all of the Company’s subordinated indebtedness and equal in right of payment to all of its existing and future indebtedness that is not by its terms subordinated to the notes. The Company may redeem the notes at any time after March 15, 2009. The indenture governing the notes contains covenants that limit the Company’s ability to incur additional indebtedness, pay dividends, redeem or repurchase capital stock and make investments, create liens, sell assets, sell capital stock of certain subsidiaries, engage in transactions with affiliates and consolidate, merge or transfer all or substantially all of its assets and the assets of certain subsidiaries on a consolidated basis. The Company was in compliance with all covenants and restrictions at December 31, 2007 and 2006.

The Company currently has approximately $33,280,000 in material commitments for capital expenditures expected to be completed during fiscal 2008. These represent signed purchase orders for various production facility upgrades. The Company’s total budget for capital improvements in 2008 is approximately $51,076,000 of which $31,076,000 relates to the second reheat furnace project and will be financed by the term loan.

The Company anticipates that its primary liquidity requirements will be for working capital, capital expenditures, debt service and the payment of dividends. The Company believes that cash generated from operations and available borrowings under its bank facility will be sufficient to meet its liquidity requirements for fiscal 2008.

When market conditions warrant, the Company enters into contracts to purchase certain commodities used in the manufacturing of its products, such as electricity and natural gas. Some of these forward contracts do not require derivative accounting as the Company takes possession of the commodities in the normal course of business whereas other forward contracts are accounted for as derivatives in accordance with SFAS No. 133 by the Company. None of the Company’s current contracts are designated as hedges.

Critical Accounting Policies

In December 2001, the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) requested that all registrants list their most “critical accounting policies” in Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations. The SEC indicated that a “critical accounting policy” is one which is both important to the portrayal of the company’s financial condition and results of operations and requires management’s most difficult, subjective or complex judgments, often as a result of the need to make estimates about the effect of matters that are inherently uncertain. The Company believes that the following accounting policies fit this definition:

Allowance for Doubtful Accounts: The Company has attempted to reserve for expected credit losses based on past experience with similar accounts receivable and believes its reserves to be adequate. It is possible, however, that the accuracy of the Company’s estimation process could be materially impacted as the composition of this pool of accounts receivable changes over time. The Company continually reviews and refines the estimation process to make it as reactive to these changes as possible; however, it cannot guarantee that it will be able to accurately estimate credit losses on these accounts receivable.

Inventory Reserve: Inventory is stated at the lower of cost or market. The Company routinely evaluates the carrying value of inventories and makes adjustments to reduce the cost of inventory to its net realizable value, if required, for estimated excess, obsolescence or impaired balances. Factors influencing these adjustments include change in demand, cost trends, product pricing and quality issues.

Environmental Reserve: The Company has engaged an environmental consultant to conduct a remedial investigation and develop a remediation plan and remediation cost projections based upon that plan. Utilizing the remediation plan developed by the environmental consultant, the Company developed an estimate for future costs of the remediation plan. The total aggregate cost of remediation is estimated to be approximately $1,800,000, which was accrued in 2002 and is included in other liabilities in the 2007 and 2006 financial statements. The California Department of Toxic Substances Control (“DTSC”) has not yet completed its review and approval of the Company’s plan; however, preliminary discussions with DTSC have not indicated the need for any significant changes to the remediation plan or to the Company’s estimate of related costs. The estimate of costs could change as a result of changes to the remediation plan required by the DTSC or unforeseen circumstances at the site.

Self-insurance Liability: The Company is self-insured for workers’ compensation. The accrued liability associated with these programs is based on management’s estimate of the ultimate costs to settle known claims as well as claims incurred but not yet reported (“IBNR claims”) as of the balance sheet date. The estimated liability is not discounted and is based on information provided by the Company’s insurance brokers and insurers, combined with management’s judgments regarding a number of assumptions and factors, including the frequency and severity of claims, the Company’s claims development history, case jurisdiction, related legislation, and the Company’s claim settlement practice. Significant judgment is required to estimate IBNR claims as parties have yet to assert such claims. If actual claim trends, including the severity or frequency of claims, differ from management’s estimates, the Company’s financial results could be impacted.

Revenue Recognition: The Company recognizes revenue when products are shipped or delivered to the customer, depending on the terms of the sale. For products shipped FOB shipping point, revenue is recognized at the time of shipment when title and risk of loss are transferred to the customer. For products shipped FOB destination, revenue is recognized at the time of delivery when title and risk of loss are transferred to the customer. In certain cases, at the customer’s request, the Company will enter into bill and hold transactions whereby title transfers to the customer, but the product does not ship until a specified later date. Revenue on such transactions is recognized when the product is ready for shipment, and only after all conditions set forth under Staff Accounting Bulletin (SAB) No. 104 have been met.

Recently Issued Accounting Standards

In July 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued FASB Interpretation No. 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes, an interpretation of SFAS No. 109,” (“FIN 48”). FIN 48 applies to all tax positions accounted for under SFAS No. 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes,” and defines the confidence level that a tax position must meet in order to be recognized in the financial statements. The interpretation requires that the tax effects of a position be recognized only if it is “more-likely-than-not” to be sustained by the taxing authority as of the reporting date. If a tax position is not considered “more-likely-than-not” to be sustained then no benefits of the position are to be recognized. FIN 48 requires additional disclosures and is effective as of the beginning of the first fiscal year beginning after December 15, 2006. Accordingly on January 1, 2007, the Company adopted FIN 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes.” As a result of adoption, deferred tax liabilities decreased $2,529,000, there was a reclass from accounts payable and income tax payable of

15

$2,352,000, the liability for unrecognized tax benefits increased $5,216,000, and the beginning retained earnings decreased $335,000.

In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements,” (“SFAS 157”). SFAS 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. SFAS 157 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007, and is required to be adopted by the Company in the first quarter of fiscal year 2008, beginning January 1, 2008. The Company is currently evaluating the effect that the adoption of SFAS 157 will have on its consolidated results of operations and financial position or cash flows, but does not expect it to have a material impact.

In February 2007, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 159, “The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities – Including an amendment of FASB Statement No. 115” (“SFAS 159”). SFAS 159 expands the use of fair value accounting but does not affect existing standards which require assets or liabilities to be carried at fair value. Under SFAS 159, a company may elect to use fair value to measure accounts and loans receivable, available-for-sale and held-to-maturity securities, equity method investments, accounts payable, guarantees and issued debt. Other eligible items include firm commitments for financial instruments that otherwise would not be recognized at inception and non-cash warranty obligations where a warrantor is permitted to pay a third party to provide the warranty goods or services. If the use of fair value is elected, any upfront costs and fees related to the item must be recognized in earnings and cannot be deferred, e.g., debt issue costs. The fair value election is irrevocable and generally made on an instrument-by-instrument basis, even if a company has similar instruments that it elects not to measure based on fair value. At the adoption date, unrealized gains and losses on existing items for which fair value has been elected are reported as a cumulative adjustment to beginning retained earnings. Subsequent to the adoption of SFAS 159, changes in fair value are recognized in earnings. SFAS 159 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007 and is required to be adopted by the Company in the first quarter of fiscal year 2008. The Company is determining whether fair value accounting is appropriate for any of its eligible items and cannot estimate the impact, if any, which SFAS 159 will have on its results of operations and financial condition.

In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141 (revised 2007), “Business Combinations” (“SFAS 141R”). SFAS 141R establishes principles and requirements for how an acquirer recognizes and measures in its financial statements the identifiable assets acquired, the liabilities assumed, any noncontrolling interest in the acquiree and the goodwill acquired. SFAS 141R also establishes disclosure requirements to enable the evaluation of the nature and financial effects of the business combination. SFAS 141R is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008, and is required to be adopted by the Company in the first quarter of fiscal year 2009, beginning January 1, 2009. The Company is currently evaluating the effect that the adoption of SFAS 141R will have on its consolidated results of operation and financial position or cash flows, but does not expect it to have a material impact.

In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 160, “Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements – an amendment of Accounting Research Bulletin No. 51” (“SFAS 160”). SFAS 160 establishes accounting and reporting standards for ownership interests in subsidiaries held by parties other than the parent, the amount of consolidated net income attributable to the parent and to the noncontrolling interest, changes in a parent’s ownership interest and the valuation of retained noncontrolling equity investments when a subsidiary is deconsolidated. SFAS 160 also establishes disclosure requirements that clearly identify and distinguish between the interests of the parent and the interests of the noncontrolling owners. SFAS 160 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008, and is required to be adopted by the Company in the first quarter of fiscal year 2009, beginning January 1, 2009. The Company is currently evaluating the effect that the adoption of SFAS 160 will have on its consolidated results of operation and financial position or cash flows, but does not expect it to have a material impact.

Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

The Company is exposed to market risks related to fluctuations in interest rates on its 6.125% senior notes and its $110,000,000 floating interest rate bank facility. The Company does not currently use interest rate swaps or other types of derivative financial instruments. The carrying value of the floating rate bank facility approximates fair value as the interest rate is variable and resets frequently. The bank facility bears interest at the Eurodollar rate or the prime rate, which was approximately 5.625% (one month rate) (including margin) and 7.25%, respectively, at December 31, 2007. The Company estimates that the average amount of debt outstanding under the facility for fiscal year 2008 will be approximately $53,000,000. Therefore, a one-percentage point increase in interest rates would result in an increase in interest expense of $530,000 for the year.

For fixed rate debt instruments such as the Company’s 6.125% senior notes, changes in interest rates generally affect

16

the fair value of such debt instruments. For variable rate debt such as its bank facility, changes in interest rates generally do not affect the fair value of such debt, but do affect earnings and cash flow. The Company does not have an obligation to repay its 6.125% senior notes prior to maturity in 2014 and, as a result, interest rate risk and changes in fair value should not have a significant impact on the Company. The Company believes that the interest rate on its 6.125% senior notes approximates the current rates available for similar types of financing and as a result the carrying amount of the 6.125% senior notes approximates fair value. The fair value of the Company’s senior notes at December 31, 2007 was approximately $134,250,000. The Company does not believe that the future market rate risk related to its 6.125% senior notes and floating rate bank facility will have a material impact on its financial position, results of operations or liquidity.

The Company’s daily average electrical demand is approximately 35 megawatts to operate production equipment in manufacturing its products. The Company is currently a full-service bundled utility customer of Southern California Edison. During 2008, the Company’s electricity costs are not expected to change materially from 2007 levels. In 2007, its electricity costs accounted for approximately 2.2% of its cost of goods sold compared to approximately 2.8% in 2006.

The Company generally utilizes a daily average of approximately 12,000 million British thermal units, or MMBTUs, of natural gas to produce its products. To stabilize price volatility, the Company regularly uses a risk management approach to fix the price on portions of its natural gas requirements up to two years ahead through financial and/or physical hedging arrangements. These arrangements include fixed-price contracts for the New York Mercantile Exchange (NYMEX), and/or the Southern California border basis (basis represents the difference between the NYMEX price at Henry Hub, Louisiana and the price at the Southern California border).

The Company currently has in place fixed price purchase agreements for approximately 20% of its natural gas commodity requirements for 2008, and approximately 19% of basis. The Company continues to monitor the near and long term price trends of natural gas and may enter into additional purchase agreements when the Company deems it appropriate or when opportunities present themselves. In 2007, its natural gas costs accounted for approximately 2.2% of its cost of goods sold compared to approximately 3.1% in 2006.

Item 9A. Controls and Procedures

With the participation of management, the Company’s chief executive officer and chief financial officer evaluated the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures as of December 31, 2007. Based upon this evaluation, the chief executive officer and chief financial officer concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)) were effective as of December 31, 2007.

There has been no change in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) during the Company’s fourth quarter ended December 31, 2007, that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act. All internal control systems, no matter how well designed, have inherent limitations. Therefore, even those systems determined to be effective can provide only reasonable assurance with respect to financial statement preparation and presentation.

Under the supervision and with the participation of management, the Company’s chief executive officer and chief financial officer conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting based on the framework in Internal Control – Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. Based on this evaluation under the framework in Internal Control – Integrated Framework, management concluded that the Company’s internal control over financial reporting was effective as of December 31, 2007.

17

This annual report does not include an attestation report of the Company’s registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. Management’s report was not subject to attestation by the Company’s registered public accounting firm pursuant to temporary rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission that permit the Company to provide only management’s report in this annual report.

Item 11. Executive Compensation

Compensation Discussion and Analysis

This section discusses the compensation paid to the principal executive and principal financial officers of the Company, as well as the three other most highly compensated executive officers of the Company (collectively, the “Executive Officers”).

Compensation Process

Executive compensation is the responsibility of the Board of Directors. The Board considers recommendations from the Compensation Committee of the Board with respect to the periodic review of the compensation of the Executive Officers and the design and structure of incentive compensation to reward executive performance. The Compensation Committee further authorizes benchmarking surveys of executive compensation for similarly sized manufacturing companies, including private companies and those publicly traded. The surveys are conducted by recognized consulting firms, analyzing executive compensation within the steel industry and other manufacturing sectors.

Objectives of Executive Compensation

The objectives of the executive compensation system at the Company are to (i) maximize annual Company profitability, (ii) reward the achievement of Company and individual objective performance targets, (iii) develop management competency and skill in a variety of areas related to Company operations, and (iv) provide a compensation package that is competitive within the steel industry and other manufacturing sectors.

Elements of Executive Compensation

The executive compensation system is designed to achieve the objectives of the Company and reward Executive Officer performance in three ways:

• Base Salary – The Company seeks to provide a base salary to each of the Executive Officers which is competitive and will retain executives and thus provide stability and continuity within senior management. Base salary is benchmarked from time to time within the steel industry and other manufacturing sectors and is subject to adjustment on an annual basis in the form of cost of living adjustment applicable to all Executive Officers and/or individual changes. All Executive Officers were given a 3.0% increase in base salary in 2007.

• Employee Profit Sharing Plan – The Executive Officers are eligible to receive profit sharing bonuses twice a year along with all other employees of the Company pursuant to the Company profit sharing plan. The purpose of this plan is to provide an incentive for all employees, including the Executive Officers, to contribute to the success of the Company and to maximize corporate profitability. The Company profit sharing plan awards bonuses to all employees based on a pool amount equal to 8% of the Company’s income before taxes excluding gain or loss on disposition of fixed assets and some other adjustments. The basis for determining the profit sharing pool is subject to review and approval of the Company’s Board of Directors. The employee’s share in the pool amount is based on his or her length of service with the Company during the profit sharing period. Employees who voluntarily terminate their employment for reasons others than retirement before the end of the profit sharing period and employees whose employment is involuntarily terminated are not eligible to receive any profit sharing award.

• Executive Incentive Plan – The Executive Plan for the Executive Officers is made up of two components:

(i) Executive Profit Sharing – There is a separate profit sharing plan for the Executive Officers which provides an additional reward and incentive to the Executive Officers for maximizing corporate profitability. The profit sharing component of the Executive Incentive Plan is based on a pool amount equal to 0.5% of the Company’s income before taxes excluding gain or loss on disposition of fixed assets and some other adjustments. The Executive Officers participate in the pool based on a fixed percentage for each executive position, subject to a maximum bonus cap. The percentage allocation of each executive and the basis for determining the executive profit sharing pool is subject to review and approval of the Company’s Board of Directors.

(ii) Target Achievement – The second component of the Executive Incentive Plan is an individual target achievement component which rewards each Executive Officer with points for performance in a number of target areas. Target areas include general Company performance targets for all Executive Officers such as cash flow, on-time performance and plant safety and more specific target areas for individual Executive Officers such as yield, margin, inventory, sourcing of manufacturing inputs and sales. Finally, each Executive Officer is further given targets for improving management competencies in areas such as initiative, innovation, teamwork, resource utilization, governance and adherence to Company principals. Points are awarded in ranges and the point total for each Executive Officer corresponds with a range of incentive bonus values, with higher point values earning greater bonus awards.

21

Equity Compensation and Incentives

The Company does not have any public equity outstanding and does not award equity compensation or incentives to its Executive Officers.

Executive Officer Benefits and 401K Plan

In addition to the compensation described above, the Company offers certain standard benefits, including paid vacation, subsidized health and dental insurance, subsidized life insurance, and an automobile allowance.

The Company further maintains the California Steel Industries, Inc. 401(k) Savings Plan (“401(k) Plan”), a tax qualified cash or deferred tax arrangement under Section 401(k) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. The 401(k) Plan provides the participants with benefits upon retirement, death, disability or termination of employment with the Company. Employees are eligible to participate in the salary reduction portion of the plan on the first day of the calendar month following their date of hire.

Participants may authorize the Company to contribute to the 401(k) Plan on their behalf a percentage of their compensation, not to exceed legally permissible limits, including an overall dollar limit of $15,500 for 2007 and $5,000 as a catch-up contribution for those participants who are 50 years old or older at December 31, 2007. The 401(k) Plan provides for the Company’s discretionary matching and profit sharing contributions. The Company currently matches 100% of the participant’s deferral equal to 4% of his or her compensation and an additional 50% of deferrals equal to the next 2% of the participant’s compensation under the 401(k) Plan each year. Deferrals made with respect to the Employee Profit-Sharing Plan are not subject to matching contributions. Each plan year the Company may also elect to make an additional contribution to the 401(k) Plan. This discretionary employer contribution, if the Company makes it, is allocated to each participant’s account based on the participant’s compensation (as defined under the Plan) for the year relative to the compensation of all participants for that year. In order to share in the allocation of the discretionary employer contribution, if any, a participant must complete 1,000 hours of service in the plan year.

Furthermore, the principal executive and principal financial officers, who are dispatched personnel from the Company’s two stockholders located in Japan and Brazil, receive certain additional extended paid home leave and expense reimbursements (which are described in greater detail below). These benefits are intended to compensate the dispatched personnel for the hardships of working for extended periods outside of their home country.

Supplemental Executive Retirement Plans and Separation Agreement

On January 16, 2003, the Company entered into a Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan with James L. Wilson, Vice President, Commercial, who has been employed with the Company since 1984, intended to induce Mr. Wilson to remain in the Company’s employ. Upon his retirement, the Company is obligated to pay Mr. Wilson a monthly benefit for 180 months calculated as follows: one-twelfth of the product of 2.5% multiplied by the number of years he is employed with the Company limited to 18 years, multiplied by his average annual compensation, using a 5% discounted rate. “Annual Compensation” is defined in the Plan to include average salary plus short-term incentive payments over the highest three years in the last five years. This benefit vests at the rate of 6% for 2003 and 7% per year thereafter, continuing yearly except for the year Mr. Wilson turns 65, when the vesting will be 24%. The payment of the vested portion of this benefit will start at the first day of the month following the month in which Mr. Wilson reaches age 65. Upon death of the Executive, the Company agrees to pay the benefits to the Executive’s designated beneficiary. At December 31, 2007, he was vested 34% under this agreement. In the event of a change in control in which the successor does not assume liabilities under these Plans, the Company will pay to Mr. Wilson a single lump sum payment equal to the present value of the retirement benefit.

On September 19, 2000, the Company entered into a Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan with Brett J. Guge, Vice President, Administration and Corporate Secretary, who has been employed with the Company since 1997, intended to

25

induce Mr. Guge to remain in the Company’s employ. Upon his retirement, the Company is obligated to pay Mr. Guge a monthly benefit for 180 months calculated as follows: one-twelfth of the product of 2.5% multiplied by the number of years he is employed with the Company limited to 18 years, multiplied by his average annual compensation, using a 5% discounted rate. “Annual Compensation” is defined in the Plan to include average salary plus short-term incentive payments over the highest three years in the last five years. This benefit vests at the rate of 4% per year, continuing yearly except for the year Mr. Guge turns 65, when the vesting will be 24%. The payment of the vested portion of this benefit will start at the first day of the month following the month in which Mr. Guge reaches age 65. Upon death of the Executive, the Company agrees to pay the benefits to the Executive’s designated beneficiary. At December 31, 2007, he was vested 32% under this agreement. In the event of a change in control in which the successor does not assume liabilities under these Plans, the Company will pay to Mr. Guge a single lump sum payment equal to the present value of the retirement benefit.

Non-Qualified Defined Benefit and Deferred Compensation Plans

The Company currently has no non-qualified defined benefit or deferred compensation plans.

Severance and Change in Control Payments

See description of Supplemental Executive Retirement Plans under the “Pension Benefits” item above.

Director Compensation

No compensation payments are made to Directors or Committee Members of the Company. However, JFE Steel Corporation and Vale (Companhia Vale do Rio Doce) were paid by the Company for providing the services of the Directors and the Committee Members for fiscal year 2007. The payment for Directors, except the Chairman, was $3,000 per month and $1,000 per month for committee members. For services of the Chairman of the Board of Directors, Mr. Vicente Wright, the Company paid $891,356 directly to Vale (Companhia Vale do Rio Doce) in 2007 of which $292,343 was for 2006 services.

Shareholders’ Agreement

The Company is owned 50% by JFE Steel Corporation (formerly Kawasaki Steel Corporation), a Japanese corporation, and 50% by Rio Doce Limited, a New York corporation and a subsidiary of Vale (Companhia Vale do Rio Doce), a Brazilian corporation. In June 2004, JFE Steel USA, Inc., a Delaware corporation (formerly Kawasaki Steel Holdings (USA), Inc.), also a subsidiary of JFE Steel Corporation, transferred its shares to JFE Steel Corporation. The Company’s two stockholders entered into a Shareholders’ Agreement dated June 27, 1995, replacing a Shareholders’ Agreement dated June 1, 1987. According to the Shareholders’ Agreement, the stockholders agreed to subscribe for additional shares of the Company’s stock in proportion to their respective ownership if any new stock is issued, and increases in the Company’s capital stock from time to time shall be allocated between the Company’s common stock and preferred stock as agreed upon by the stockholders. Each of the stockholders has the right and obligation to subscribe and pay fully for the new shares in proportion to its respective ownership of the Company’s common stock. In addition, either stockholder may let its Affiliated Corporations, as defined the Shareholders’ Agreement, subscribe, in whole or in part, to the new shares to be issued to it under the terms described below.

The Shareholders’ Agreement provides that the Board of Directors shall be constituted of five directors, one of whom shall be chairman, as elected by and among the directors. Each stockholder shall have the right to appoint two Directors and the fifth Director shall be elected by unanimous affirmative vote of the shareholders (in July 1999, the stockholders approved a revision to the Bylaws of the Company changing the number of directors to 4, however, no corresponding change was made to the Shareholders’ Agreement). In addition, the stockholders shall jointly appoint a president, who shall appoint other officers designated by the Board of Directors. The Shareholders’ Agreement also provides for a Consultative Council consisting of two members, one appointed by each of the stockholders. It is unclear whether the Consultative Council provisions are valid under Delaware corporation law. The Consultative Council decides on all relevant matters submitted to it by both or either of the stockholders and specifically resolves any deadlock among the Directors. Because no stockholder holds a majority of the Company’s stock and the Directors and members of the Consultative Council are elected by the stockholders in proportion to each of the stockholders’ holdings, there is a possibility that a deadlock may occur on any issue voted on by the stockholders, Board of Directors and Consultative Council. If a deadlock was to occur and the Consultative Council could not resolve the issue, the last recourse is arbitration according to the Shareholders’ Agreement.

The Shareholders’ Agreement provides that, subject to any limitation on the payment of dividends contained in any agreement the Company is a party to, the stockholders shall cause the Company to distribute from its profits the maximum dividend that may be distributed under the applicable laws and regulations, provided that the profits shall first be applied to the payment of dividends on the preferred stock. The Company has historically paid dividends of 50% of its net income per year.

26

If either one of the stockholders wishes to transfer or assign their shares of the Company’s stock to a third party, other than to one of its affiliated corporations, the stockholder must first offer to sell those shares to the other stockholder upon the same terms and conditions that the third party has offered to purchase the shares. Any stockholder who sells, transfers, assigns, or creates a pledge or other encumbrance on its shares in favor a third party, other than its affiliated corporations, is obligated to obtain an undertaking letter from the third party according to which the third party undertakes unconditionally and irrevocably the obligations of the transferring stockholder under the Shareholders’ Agreement in proportion to the number of shares transferred. Either stockholder may sell, transfer or assign to its affiliated corporations all or any part of its shares or preemptive rights to subscribe for new shares of the Company’s stock by giving written notice to the other stockholder, provided that the affiliated corporation has agreed to become a party to the Shareholders’ Agreement. In this case, both the transferor and the affiliated corporation shall jointly assume all of the obligations of the transferor under the Shareholders’ Agreement.

Dispatched Personnel

Pursuant to agreements with the Company’s stockholders Vale (Companhia Vale do Rio Doce) and JFE, certain of the Company’s executive officers and employees coming from the stockholders are treated as dispatched personnel, which means that these executive officers and employees retain active employment status in their home country with the stockholder who appointed them. These agreements further require that the Company provide certain benefits to employees who have been sent by a stockholder to work at the Company, such as extended home leave, home leave reimbursements and some other benefits. The Company further has an agreement with its stockholder, JFE, to reimburse JFE for the salary of employees who are designated as dispatched personnel, whereas dispatched personnel from the Company’s stockholder, Vale, are paid directly by the Company.

Executive officers who in 2007 were treated as dispatched personnel from JFE Steel Corporation and its subsidiaries included Masakazu Kurushima and Toshiyuki Tamai. Executive officers who in 2007 were treated as dispatched personnel from Vale and its subsidiaries included only Ricardo Bernardes. Mr. Vicente Wright, who left the Company as a full time employee on December 31, 2004, is currently Chairman of the Board. Notwithstanding the retention of formal active status, all individuals designated as dispatched personnel, with the exception of Vicente Wright, are full time employees of the Company.

The compensation and benefits of executive dispatched personnel, including any home leave reimbursement, is set forth in the Summary Compensation Table in Item 11.

Item 12. Security Ownership of Certain Beneficial Owners and Management

The following table sets forth, as of December 31, 2007, information regarding the shares of the Company’s common stock beneficially owned by each stockholder that beneficially owns in excess of 5% of the outstanding shares of the Company’s common stock. No director or named executive officer beneficially owns any shares of the Company’s common stock.

In June 2006, draft resolutions were circulated to the stockholders of the Company seeking approval of a conversion of the 3,000 issued and outstanding shares of Class C preferred stock of the Company into 3,000 shares of common stock of the Company in a straight one to one conversion. The stockholders were further asked to approve an amendment to the Certificate of Incorporation of the Company to increase the authorized number of common shares from 2,000 to 5,000 to allow for the conversion. The stockholders adopted resolutions approving both the conversion and the amendment to the Certificate of Incorporation pursuant to a unanimous written consent which became effective in July 2006. The amendment to the Certificate of Incorporation was filed with the Delaware Secretary of State on July 25, 2006.

Name of Beneficial Owner	Common
	Number	% of Class
Rio Doce Limited (1) 546 5th Avenue, 12th Floor New York, New York 10036	2,000	50	%
JFE Steel Corporation (2) 2-3 Uchisaiwai-cho 2-chome Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo 100-0011 Japan	2,000	50	%

(1) Rio Doce Limited is a subsidiary of Vale (Companhia Vale do Rio Doce), a Brazilian corporation.

(2) In 2004, JFE Steel U.S.A., Inc., transferred its common stock in the Company to JFE Steel Corporation.

Item 13. Certain Relationships and Related Transactions

The Company’s stockholders, JFE Steel Corporation, and Rio Doce Limited, a subsidiary of Vale (Companhia Vale do Rio Doce), are parties to a Shareholders’ Agreement. According to the Shareholders’ Agreement, the stockholders control the election of the Board of Directors. The stockholders also indirectly control the appointment of officers through their right to jointly elect the president, who is entitled to appoint the Company’s other officers.

The Shareholders’ Agreement also provides for a Consultative Council, comprised of two members. Each stockholder is entitled to elect one member. The Consultative Council decides on all matters submitted to it by either or both of the stockholders and resolves deadlocks among the Board of Directors. The Company has transactions in the normal course of business with affiliated companies. For example, the Company purchases slab from Cosipa Overseas, an affiliate of Vale (Companhia Vale do Rio Doce) as of November 6, 2006. During 2007, the Company purchased $14,322,000 of slab from Cosipa Overseas and $94,560,000 of slab from JFE Steel Corporation. The Company conducted arms-length negotiations with Cosipa Overseas and JFE Steel Corporation in 2007. The executive officer negotiating the market price for the steel slab was the Executive Vice President & CFO.

The Company held a 4% interest in the common stock of Companhia Siderurgica de Tubarão, which represents 1.5% of the total equity interest in the company. Companhia Siderurgica de Tubarão was an affiliate of both Vale (Companhia Vale do Rio Doce) and JFE Steel Corporation, the Company’s stockholders’ parent companies. In October 2004, the Company agreed in principal to sell its 4% interest in the common stock of CST to Arcelor S.A. (“Arcelor”). The transaction was structured by entering into an option and waiver agreement whereby Arcelor granted the Company an option to sell and the Company granted Arcelor an option to purchase the Company’s interest in CST. These options were exercised during the thirty day period following the termination of the CST shareholders agreement on May 25, 2005. Under the option agreement, all earnings or losses as well as dividends and distributions accrued to the benefit of Arcelor during the period from the execution of the option agreement to the date of exercise.

The Company further maintains contractual relationships with its stockholders in the form of Dispatched Personnel Agreements, as described in Item 11. Executive Compensation – Dispatched Personnel. These agreements provide for certain benefits and salary reimbursements with respect to personnel who are sent by the stockholders to work at the Company. All

28

compensation and benefits paid to such personnel, including salary which is reimbursed, is set forth in Item 11. Executive Compensation – Summary Compensation Schedule.

Vale’s legal and commercial name is Companhia Vale do Rio Doce. In November 2007, the company launched a global brand unification project under the name “Vale,” which is aimed at communicating Vale’s transformation into a global mining company with a diversified portfolio of products.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

Board of Directors and Shareholders

California Steel Industries, Inc.

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of California Steel Industries, Inc. and subsidiary (the Company) as of December 31, 2007, and the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders’ equity and cash flows for the year then ended. Our audit also included the information for the year ended December 31, 2007 included in the financial statement schedule listed in the Index at Item 15(a)(2). These consolidated financial statements and schedule are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and schedule based on our audit.

We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. We were not engaged to perform an audit of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Our audit included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the 2007 consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of California Steel Industries, Inc. and subsidiary at December 31, 2007, and the consolidated results of their operations and their cash flows for the year ended December 31, 2007, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. Also, in our opinion, the related financial statement schedule, when considered in relation to the basic financial statements taken as a whole, presents fairly in all material respects the information set forth therein for the year ended December 31, 2007.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

December 31, 2007

1. Organization and Nature of Operations

California Steel Industries, Inc. and Subsidiary (the Company) was incorporated in the state of Delaware on November 3, 1983. Its stockholders consist of two companies, JFE Steel Corporation (formerly Kawasaki Steel Corporation), a Japanese corporation, and Rio Doce Limited, a New York corporation, which each own 50% of the stock of the Company. From its site in Fontana, California, the Company manufactures a wide range of flat rolled steel products, including hot rolled, cold rolled, and galvanized coil and sheet. The Company also produces electric resistant welded pipe.

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Principles of Consolidation

The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiary and are prepared on the accrual basis of accounting in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

The Company considers all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. These bank accounts are guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) up to $100,000. As of December 31, 2007 and 2006, the Company had cash balances with banks in excess of the federally insured limit.

Trade Accounts Receivable

Trade accounts receivable are carried at original invoice amount less an estimate made for doubtful receivables based on a review of all outstanding amounts on a monthly basis. Management determines the allowance for doubtful accounts by identifying troubled accounts, using historical experience applied to an aging of accounts, regularly evaluating individual customer receivables and considering a customer’s financial condition and credit history, and current economic conditions. Trade accounts receivable are written off when deemed uncollectible. Recoveries of trade accounts receivable previously written off are recorded when received.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statement (continued)

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

Inventories

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market. Cost is determined using the first-in, first-out (FIFO) method of inventory accounting. Management routinely evaluates the carrying value of inventories and provides reserves when appropriate to reduce inventories to the lower of cost or market to reflect estimated net realizable value.

Deferred Financing Costs

Debt issuance costs are amortized on a straight-line basis (which approximates the effective interest method) over the term of the related debt agreement. Amortization of issuance costs is included as a component of interest expense. These costs are included in other assets in the 2007 and 2006 consolidated balance sheets.

Indefinite-Lived Purchased Intangible Assets

The Company accounts for purchased intangible assets with indefinite useful lives in accordance with the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets, which prohibits the amortization of purchased intangible assets with indefinite lives. This Statement requires that purchased intangible assets with indefinite lives be reviewed for impairment at least annually or whenever events or circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. If the carrying amount of an intangible asset exceeds its estimated fair value, an impairment loss is recognized by the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset exceeds the estimated fair value of the indefinite-lived purchased intangible assets. The amount of purchased intangible assets with indefinite lives was approximately $3,111,000 and $2,481,000 at December 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively.

Property, Plant and Equipment

Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the related assets. The estimated useful lives of the assets are as follows:

Plant and equipment	3 to 25 years
Plant refurbishment costs	10 years
Furniture and fixtures	5 years

California Steel Industries, Inc. and Subsidiary

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statement (continued)

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

Assets under construction are not depreciated until placed into service. Ordinary repairs and maintenance are charged to operating costs when incurred. When assets are sold or otherwise disposed of, the cost and related accumulated depreciation are eliminated from the respective accounts, and any related gain or loss is included in the statement of operations.

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

The Company accounts for long-lived assets in accordance with the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 144, Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets. This Statement requires that long-lived assets be reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset to future net cash flows expected to be generated by the asset. If the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its estimated future cash flows, an impairment charge is recognized by the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset exceeds the fair value of the asset. Assets to be disposed of are reported at the lower of the carrying amount or fair value less costs to sell.

Income Taxes

Income taxes are accounted for under the asset and liability method. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases and tax credit carryforwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. A valuation allowance is provided against the deferred tax asset for amounts which are not considered “more likely than not” to be realized.

Environmental

Environmental expenditures that relate to current operations are expensed or capitalized as appropriate. Expenditures are capitalized if they meet one of the following criteria: (1) extend the useful life, increase the capacity, or improve the safety or efficiency of property, (2) mitigate or prevent environmental contamination that has yet to occur and that otherwise may result from future operations or activities, or (3) incurred in preparing property currently held for sale. The

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

Company accrues for costs associated with environmental remediation obligations when such losses are probable and reasonably estimable. Accruals for estimated losses from environmental remediation obligations are recognized no later than completion of the remedial feasibility study. Such accruals are adjusted as further information develops or circumstances change (see Note 10). Costs of future expenditures for environmental remediation obligations are not discounted to their present value.

Derivative Financial Instruments

Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities, as amended and interpreted by other related accounting literature, establishes accounting and reporting standards for derivative instruments (including certain derivative instruments embedded in other contracts). SFAS No. 133 requires companies to record derivatives on their balance sheets as either assets or liabilities measured at their fair value unless exempted from derivative treatment as a normal sale and purchase transaction. All changes in the fair value of derivatives are recognized currently in earnings unless specific hedge criteria are met, which requires that a company must formally document, designate, and assess the effectiveness of transactions that receive hedge accounting.

The Company enters into contracts to purchase certain commodities used in the manufacturing of its products, such as electricity and natural gas. Some of these forward contracts do not require derivative accounting as the Company takes possession of the commodities in the normal course of business whereas other forward contracts are accounted for as derivatives in accordance with SFAS No. 133 by the Company. These derivatives did not qualify for hedge accounting treatment; therefore, these financial instruments are reported at fair value, with changes in fair value reported in current earnings. Credit risk related to the derivative financial instruments is considered minimal and is managed by requiring high credit standards for its counterparties and periodic settlements.

Self-Insurance Liability

The Company is self-insured for workers’ compensation. The accrued liability associated with these programs is based on management’s estimate of the ultimate costs to settle known claims as well as claims incurred but not yet reported (IBNR claims) as of the balance sheet date. The estimated liability is not discounted and is based on information provided by the Company’s insurance brokers and insurers, combined with management’s judgments regarding a number of assumptions and factors, including the frequency and severity of claims, the Company’s claims

F-11

California Steel Industries, Inc. and Subsidiary

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statement (continued)

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

development history, case jurisdiction, related legislation, and the Company’s claim settlement practice. Significant judgment is required to estimate IBNR claims as parties have yet to assert such claims. If actual claim trends, including the severity or frequency of claims, differ from management’s estimates, the Company’s financial results could be impacted.

Use of Estimates

Management of the Company has made a number of estimates and assumptions relating to the reporting of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities to prepare these consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The carrying value of cash and cash equivalents, trade accounts receivable, other receivables, accounts payable, and other accrued expenses are measured at cost which approximates their fair value because of the short maturity of those instruments. The fair values of long-term indebtedness are estimated based on the quoted market prices for the same or similar issues, or the current rates offered to the Company for debt of similar maturities. The carrying amounts and fair values of financial instruments at December 31, 2007 and 2006, are listed as follows (dollars in thousands):

	2007				2006
	Carrying Amount		Fair Value		Carrying Amount		Fair Value
Senior notes	$	150,000	$	134,250	$	150,000	$	142,500
Forward contracts		157		157		1,409		1,409

Revenue Recognition

The Company recognizes revenue when products are shipped or delivered to the customer, depending on the terms of the sale. For products shipped FOB shipping point, revenue is recognized at the time of shipment and title has transferred to the customer. For products shipped FOB destination, revenue is recognized at the time of delivery and title has transferred to the customer.

Shipping Costs

The Company charges shipping fees to certain customers based upon the actual amounts incurred. Amounts billed for shipping costs are included in net sales. The Company includes the associated shipping costs in cost of sales.

Reclassification

Certain items in prior year financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In July 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued FASB Interpretation No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes, an interpretation of SFAS No. 109 (FIN 48). FIN 48 applies to all tax positions accounted for under SFAS No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes, and defines the confidence level that a tax position must meet in order to be recognized in the financial statements. The interpretation requires that the tax effects of a position be recognized only if it is “more-likely-than-not” to be sustained by the taxing authority as of the reporting date. If a tax position is not considered “more-likely-than-not” to be sustained then no benefits of the position are to be recognized. FIN 48 requires additional disclosures and is effective as of the beginning of the first fiscal year beginning after December 15, 2006. Accordingly, on January 1, 2007, the Company adopted FIN 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes. As a result of adoption, deferred tax liabilities decreased $2,529,000, there was a reclass from accounts payable and income tax payable of $2,352,000, the liability for unrecognized tax benefits increased $5,216,000, and the beginning retained earnings decreased $335,000.

In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, Fair Value Measurements (SFAS 157). SFAS 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. SFAS 157 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007, and is required to be adopted by the Company in the first quarter of fiscal year 2008, beginning January 1, 2008. The Company is currently evaluating the effect that the adoption of SFAS 157 will have on its consolidated results of operations and financial position or cash flows, but does not expect it to have a material impact.

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities – Including an amendment of FASB Statement No. 115 (SFAS 159). SFAS 159 expands the use of fair value accounting but does not affect existing standards which require assets or liabilities to be carried at fair value. Under SFAS 159, a company may elect to use fair value to measure accounts and loans receivable, available-for-sale and held-to-maturity securities, equity method investments, accounts payable, guarantees and issued debt. Other eligible items include firm commitments for financial instruments that otherwise would not be recognized at inception and noncash warranty obligations where a warrantor is permitted to pay a third party to provide the warranty goods or services. If the use of fair value is elected, any upfront costs and fees related to the item must be recognized in earnings and cannot be deferred, e.g., debt issue costs. The fair value election is irrevocable and generally made on an instrument-by-instrument basis, even if a company has similar instruments that it elects not to measure based on fair value. At the adoption date, unrealized gains and losses on existing items for which fair value has been elected are reported as a cumulative adjustment to beginning retained earnings. Subsequent to the adoption of SFAS 159, changes in fair value are recognized in earnings. SFAS 159 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007, and is required to be adopted by the Company in the first quarter of fiscal year 2008. The Company is determining whether fair value accounting is appropriate for any of its eligible items and cannot estimate the impact, if any, which SFAS 159 will have on its results of operations and financial condition.

In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141 (revised 2007), Business Combinations (SFAS 141R). SFAS 141R establishes principles and requirements for how an acquirer recognizes and measures in its financial statements the identifiable assets acquired, the liabilities assumed, any noncontrolling interest in the acquiree and the goodwill acquired. SFAS 141R also establishes disclosure requirements to enable the evaluation of the nature and financial effects of the business combination. SFAS 141R is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008, and is required to be adopted by the Company in the first quarter of fiscal year 2009, beginning January 1, 2009. The Company is currently evaluating the effect that the adoption of SFAS 141R will have on its consolidated results of operation and financial position or cash flows, but does not expect it to have a material impact.

In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 160, Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements – an amendment of Accounting Research Bulletin No. 51 (SFAS 160). SFAS 160 establishes accounting and reporting standards for ownership interests in subsidiaries held by parties other than the parent, the amount of consolidated net income attributable to the parent and to the noncontrolling interest, changes in a parent’s ownership interest and the

F-14

valuation of retained noncontrolling equity investments when a subsidiary is deconsolidated. SFAS 160 also establishes disclosure requirements that clearly identify and distinguish between the interests of the parent and the interests of the noncontrolling owners. SFAS 160 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008, and is required to be adopted by the Company in the first quarter of fiscal year 2009, beginning January 1, 2009. The Company is currently evaluating the effect that the adoption of SFAS 160 will have on its consolidated results of operation and financial position or cash flows, but does not expect it to have a material impact.

The Company had leased a galvanizing line (#2 CGL) which was treated as an operating lease. The original term of the lease was ten years with an early buy-out option after seven years. In 2005, the Company exercised its buy-out option per the terms of the agreement and purchased the equipment for cash. The lease had varied rental payments which were recognized on the straight-line method over the original term of the lease. The Company continued to expense rental payments on the straight-line method on the #2 CGL through September 30, 2005, the date of purchase.

7. Notes Payable and Long-Term Debt

The Company’s five-year revolving credit facility (the Facility) is with a syndicate of four financial institutions. The Facility provided for an aggregate principal amount of up to $110,000,000 subject in all respects to a borrowing base coverage requirement. Advances under this Facility may be used for letters of credit, working capital, capital expenditures, payment of dividends and other lawful corporate purposes, including the refinancing of existing debt.

Under the Facility, a commitment fee is applied on the average daily undrawn portion of the commitments at a rate equal to the applicable margin. The applicable margin in effect from time to time will range from 0.1% to 0.3%, based upon the leverage ratio.

At the Company’s election, the amounts advanced under the Facility bear interest at the base rate or the Eurodollar rate, plus the applicable margin. Interest is generally payable quarterly and any accrued interest and principal is due and payable in September 2010.

As of December 31, 2007, outstanding borrowings of $26,500,000 consisted of $12,000,000 of advances payable at the Eurodollar rate of 5.625% and $14,500,000 of advances payable at the base rate of 7.25%. As of December 31, 2007, the Company had three outstanding letters of credit of approximately $768,000 which expire on various dates through August 2008. The borrowings and the letters of credit reduce the borrowing base. The Company had approximately $82,732,000 of borrowings available under the Facility as of December 31, 2007.

Fees incurred on the Facility are being amortized over the term of the loan. The unamortized amount of financing costs was approximately $306,000 and $417,000 at December 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively, and are classified as other assets in the consolidated balance sheets.

The Facility is collateralized by the Company’s accounts receivable and inventories. The Facility requires compliance with certain covenants and restrictions with regard to the interest coverage ratio, tangible net worth and shareholder distributions. At December 31, 2007 and 2006, the Company was in compliance with all covenants and restrictions.

On March 22, 2004, the Company issued an aggregate of $150,000,000 of ten-year, 6.125% unsecured senior notes due in March 2014. The interest on these senior notes is payable on March 15 and September 15 of each year, commencing September 15, 2004.

7. Notes Payable and Long-Term Debt (continued)

The notes are senior in right of payment to all of the Company’s subordinated indebtedness and equal in right of payment to all of the Company’s existing and future indebtedness that is not by its terms subordinated to the notes. The Company may redeem the notes at any time after March 15, 2009.

On June 24, 2004, the Company completed an exchange offer exchanging its unregistered 6.125% senior notes for 6.125% senior notes registered by the Company pursuant to a registration statement filed under the Securities Act of 1933.

The unamortized portion of the financing costs related to the 6.125% senior notes due in 2014 was approximately $1,502,000 and $1,744,000 at December 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively, and is classified as other assets in the consolidated balance sheet.

8. Redeemable Preferred Stock and Stockholders’ Equity

The Class A, B and C preferred stock is redeemable by the Company at its option, in whole or in part, at par value. The Class C preferred stock has been classified outside of equity as the preferred stockholders control a majority of the board of directors and, therefore, control the redemption rights.

Class C preferred stock has priority over the common stock in the distribution of dividends and is entitled to a dividend equivalent to 10% of the par value per annum on a cumulative basis and is thereafter entitled to participate in the distribution of dividends at the same rate and upon the same conditions as the common stock.

In June 2006, draft resolutions were circulated to the stockholders of the Company seeking approval of a conversion of the 3,000 issued and outstanding shares of Class C preferred stock of the Company into 3,000 shares of common stock of the Company in a straight one-to-one conversion. The stockholders were further asked to approve an amendment to the Certificate of Incorporation of the Company to increase the authorized number of common shares from 2,000 to 5,000 to allow for the conversion. The stockholders adopted resolutions approving both the conversion and the amendment to the Certificate of Incorporation pursuant to a unanimous written consent which became effective in July 2006. The amendment to the Certificate of Incorporation was filed with the Delaware Secretary of State on July 25, 2006.

As a result of the conversion, the $30,000,000 carrying value of the Class C redeemable preferred stock was reclassified to stockholders’ equity as part of common stock.

Each holder of common stock is entitled to one vote for each share held on record on each matter submitted to a vote of the stockholders. Holders of the common stock have no cumulative voting, conversion, or redemption rights, but are entitled to preemptive rights to subscribe for additional shares of common stock in any additional issuance of common stock or any security convertible into common stock. Subject to any preferences that may be granted to the holders of preferred stock, each holder of common stock is entitled to receive ratably dividends as may be declared by the board of directors, and in the event of liquidation, dissolution, or winding up, is entitled to share ratably in all Company assets remaining after payment of liabilities.

During the years ended December 31, 2007, 2006 and 2005, $21,183,000, $79,118,000 and $56,480,000, respectively, in dividends were declared and paid.

9. Related-Party Transactions

The Company has transactions in the normal course of business with affiliated companies. The Company is 50% owned by JFE Steel Corporation, a Japanese corporation, and 50% owned by Rio Doce Limited, a subsidiary of VALE (formerly Companhia Vale do Rio Doce), a Brazilian corporation.

The Company purchases steel slab from CST, a former investee, JFE Steel and Cosipa Overseas, an affiliate of VALE as of November 2006. CST was considered an affiliated company until the investment was sold in June 2005 (Note 6). The following represents total purchases made from affiliated companies for the years ended December 31 (dollars in thousands):

	2007		2006		2005
CST	$	—	$	—	$	67,504
JFE Steel		95,342		145,254		13,362
Cosipa Overseas		14,322		14,311		—

At December 31, 2007, 2006 and 2005, the Company owed affiliated companies $252,000, $31,687,000 and $12,987,000, respectively, for goods and services.

During the years ended December 31, 2007, 2006 and 2005, the Company had revenues from an affiliated company of JFE Steel. Sales to the affiliated company are at current market rates and terms. At December 31, 2007, 2006 and 2005, net sales and accounts receivable to this related party were (dollars in thousands):

	Net Sales		Trade Receivables

10. Commitments and Contingencies

At December 31, 2007, the Company is committed, in the form of open purchase orders, to purchase approximately $120,837,000 in steel slabs and other commitments, none of which is from related parties.

When market conditions warrant, the Company enters into contracts to purchase certain commodities used in the manufacturing of its products, such as electricity and natural gas. Some of these forward contracts do not require derivative accounting as the Company takes possession of the commodities in the normal course of business whereas other forward contracts are accounted for as derivatives in accordance with SFAS No. 133 by the Company.

The Company has been contacted by various governmental agencies regarding specified environmental matters at its operating facility in Fontana, California. During September 1990, the Company reached a preliminary agreement with the California Regional Department of Health Services, which allows the Company to draft its own remediation agreement and move forward with its own plan of action at its operating facility. In November 1992, the Company entered into a Voluntary and Enforceable Agreement (the Agreement) with the California Department of Toxic Substances Control (DTSC) which sets forth certain terms and conditions related to the remediation of hazardous substances at the Company’s operating facility. The Agreement also preserves the Company’s right as to future assignment and apportionment of costs to other parties.

The Company is addressing environmental concerns caused by the former occupant at the Company’s Fontana site. The Company engaged an environmental consultant to conduct a remedial investigation and develop a remediation plan and remediation cost projections based upon the plan. Utilizing the remediation plan developed by the environmental consultant, the Company developed an estimate of future costs of the remediation plan. The total aggregate cost of remediation is estimated to be approximately $1,800,000, which is included in the other liabilities in the 2007 and 2006 consolidated financial statements. The DTSC has not yet completed its review and approval of the Company’s remediation plan; however, preliminary discussions between the DTSC and the Company have not indicated the need for any significant changes to the remediation plan or the Company’s estimate of related costs. The estimate of costs could change as a result of changes to the remediation plan required by the DTSC or unforeseen circumstances, including without limitations, unknown site conditions, changes to applicable regulations or increased enforcement requirements by the regulators existing at the site.

The Company is involved in legal actions and claims arising in the ordinary course of business. It is the opinion of management, based on advice of legal counsel, that this litigation will be resolved without material effect on the Company’s financial position, results of operations, or liquidity.

The tax effects of temporary differences that give rise to significant portions of the deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities at December 31, 2007 and 2006, are as follows (dollars in thousands):

	2007			2006
Deferred tax assets:

Total gross deferred tax liabilities		(58,303	)		(56,889	)
Net deferred tax liabilities	$	(52,377	)	$	(44,929	)

The Company recorded a valuation allowance to reduce its deferred tax asset attributable to foreign tax credits for taxes withheld on the sale of investment in affiliated company. Management considered future foreign source income in determining the need for the valuation allowance and has determined that it is more likely than not that the Company will not generate a significant amount of foreign source income to realize the foreign tax credits before expiration. Therefore, a valuation allowance for the full amount of the remaining foreign tax credit carryforward was recorded as of December 31, 2007. Based on the Company’s historical pretax earnings, management believes it is more likely than not that the Company will realize the benefit of the remaining deferred tax assets existing at December 31, 2007.

11. Income Taxes (continued)

In July 2006, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes, an interpretation of SFAS No. 109 (FIN 48). FIN 48 applies to all tax positions accounted for under SFAS No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes, and defines the confidence level that a tax position must meet in order to be recognized in the financial statements. The interpretation requires that the tax effects of a position be recognized only if it is “more-likely-than-not” to be sustained by the taxing authority as of the reporting date. If a tax position is not considered “more-likely-than-not” to be sustained then no benefits of the position are to be recognized. FIN 48 requires additional disclosures and is effective as of the beginning of the first fiscal year beginning after December 15, 2006. Accordingly, on January 1, 2007, the Company adopted FIN 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes. As a result of adoption, deferred tax liabilities decreased $2,529,000, there was a reclass from accounts payable and income tax payable of $2,352,000, the liability for unrecognized tax benefits increased $5,216,000, and the beginning retained earnings decreased $335,000. A reconciliation of the beginning and ending amount of unrecognized tax benefits is as follows (dollars in thousands):

Unrecognized tax benefits at January 1, 2007	$	5,216
Gross increases for tax positions of prior years		1,649
Gross decreases for tax positions of prior years		(3,670	)
Settlements		(1,605	)
Unrecognized tax benefits at December 31, 2007	$	1,590

The Company accounts for uncertain tax positions in accordance with FIN 48. The Company reports a liability for unrecognized tax benefits resulting from uncertain tax positions taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. The Company recognizes interest and penalties, if any, related to unrecognized tax benefits in income tax expense. As of December 31, 2007, and January 1, 2007, the Company accrued interest and penalties to unrecognized tax benefits of approximately $1,053,000 and $2,687,000, respectively.

Included in the balance of unrecognized tax benefits at December 31, 2007, and January 1, 2007, are tax positions of $1,590,000 and $5,216,000, respectively, of which $1,590,000 and $2,687,000, respectively, would reduce the Company’s effective tax rate if recognized. The difference primarily relates to unrecognized tax benefit amounts associated with temporary differences and carryforwards. The tax years 2005 and 2006 remain open to examination by the major taxing jurisdictions to which the Company is subject. The Company believes that the $1,590,000 of unrecognized tax benefits will decrease by the full amount in the next 12 months due to completion of audits in progress or expiration of statute of limitations.

12. Employee Benefit and Retirement Plans

401(k) Plan

The Company maintains a 401(k) savings plan (the 401(k) Plan), a tax qualified cash or deferred tax arrangement defined contribution plan under Section 401(k) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. The 401(k) Plan provides the participants with benefits upon retirement, death, disability or termination of employment with the Company. Employees are eligible to participate in the salary reduction portion of the 401(k) Plan on the first day of the calendar month following their date of hire. Participants may authorize the Company to contribute to the 401(k) Plan on their behalf a percentage of their compensation, not to exceed the legally permissible limits.

The 401(k) Plan provides for the Company’s discretionary matching and profit sharing contributions. The Company currently matches 100% of the first 4% of the participant’s deferral under the 401(k) Plan and 50% of the next 2% of the participant’s deferral under the 401(k) Plan each year. Participants are immediately 100% vested in their contributions and Company contributions plus actual earnings and losses thereon. Company contributions are accrued as participant contributions are withheld and are paid in full to the trustee of the 401(k) Plan on a pay period basis. Each year the Company may elect to make additional contributions to the 401(k) Plan. This discretionary employer contribution, if the Company makes it, is allocated to each participant’s account based on the participant’s compensation for the year relative to the compensation of all the participants for that year. In order to share in the allocation of the discretionary employer contribution, if any, a participant must complete 1,000 hours of service in the plan year.

Plan expense for the three years ended December 31, 2007, 2006 and 2005, was approximately $2,537,000, $2,584,000 and $2,393,000, respectively.

Profit Sharing Plan

The Company sponsors a profit sharing plan under which contributions are established based on a pool amount, equal to 8% of the Company’s income before taxes, gain or loss on disposition of fixed assets, and equity in income (loss) of affiliate. The basis for determining the profit sharing pool is subject to review and approval of the Company’s board of directors. The employee’s share in the pool amount is based on his or her length of service with the Company during the profit sharing period. Employees who voluntarily terminate their employment for reasons other

than retirement before the end of the profit sharing period and employees whose employment is involuntarily terminated are not eligible to receive any profit sharing award. Profit sharing expense for the years ended December 31, 2007, 2006 and 2005, was approximately $1,456,000, $15,982,000 and $6,775,000, respectively.
