1. Basis
of Presentation

Unless the context otherwise requires, the use of the terms California Steel, we,
us, and our in these Notes to the Financial Statements refers to California Steel Industries, Inc.

In
the opinion of management, the accompanying financial statements contain all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation as prescribed by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. All adjustments were comprised of normal
recurring adjustments, except as noted in these Notes to Financial Statements. The interim financial statements and the related notes in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and related notes
included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for year ended December 31, 2009. Results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2010 are not necessarily indicative of results expected for the full year ending December 31,
2010.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In January 2010, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU)
No. 2010-6, Improving Disclosures about Fair Value Measurements (ASU 2010-6). This update amended guidance and issued a clarification with regard to disclosure requirements about fair market value measurement. A
reporting entity is required to disclose separately the amounts of significant transfers in and out of Level 1 and Level 2 fair value measurements and describe the reasons for the transfers. In addition, for measurements utilizing significant
unobservable inputs, a reporting entity should present separately information about purchases, sales, issuances, and settlements. We adopted ASU 2010-6 on January 1, 2010. There was no impact upon adoption of ASU 2010-6 to our financial
position or results of operations.

In February 2010, FASB issued ASU No. 2010-9, Amendments to Certain
Recognition and Disclosure Requirements (ASU 2010-9). This amendment removed the requirement for a Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) filer to disclose a date through which subsequent events have been
evaluated in both issued and revised financial statements. This amendment is effective upon issuance date of February 24, 2010. There was no impact upon adoption of ASU 2010-9 to our financial position or results of operations.

2. Inventories

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost (determined under the first-in, first-out method of accounting) or market value and consist of
the following ($ in thousands):

3. Credit Facility

In September 2005, we entered into a five year $110.0 million 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 facility may be made at any time prior to
the credit facility termination date. There were no outstanding borrowings under the credit facility as of March 31, 2010. 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. The facility requires us to maintain certain financial ratios and other financial
covenants. We were in compliance with all the covenants at March 31, 2010.

4. Commitments and Contingencies

At March 31, 2010, we are committed in the form of open purchase orders, to purchase approximately $322.4 million in steel slabs, of
which $52.3 million are from a related party, and material commitments for capital expenditures of $9.2 million.

When market
conditions warrant, we enter into contracts to purchase certain commodities used in the manufacturing of our products, such as electricity and natural gas. Some of these forward contracts do not require derivative accounting as we take possession of
the commodities in the normal course of business whereas other forward contracts are accounted for as derivatives in accordance with the accounting literature related to derivatives and hedges by us.

We have been contacted by various governmental agencies regarding specified environmental matters at our operating facility in Fontana,
California. During September 1990, we reached preliminary agreement with the California Regional Department of Health Services, which allows us to draft our own remediation agreement and move forward with our own plan of action at our operating
facility. In November 1992, we 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 our operating facility. The Agreement also preserves our right as to future assignment and apportionment of costs to other parties.

We are addressing environmental concerns caused by the former occupant at our Fontana site. We have 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, we developed an estimate of future costs of the
remediation plan. The total aggregate cost of remediation is estimated to be approximately $1.8 million, which is included in other liabilities at March 31, 2010 and December 31, 2009. The DTSC has not yet completed its review and approval
of our remediation plan; however, preliminary discussions between the DTSC and us have not indicated the need for any significant changes to the remediation plan or our 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.

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

We are self-insured for workers compensation. The accrued liability associated with these programs is based on our 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 our insurance brokers and insurers,
combined with our judgments regarding a number of assumptions and factors, including the frequency and severity of claims, our claims development history, case jurisdiction, related legislation, and our claim settlement practice. Significant
judgment is required to estimate IBNR claims as parties have yet to assert such claims. If actual trends, including the severity or frequency of claims, differ from our estimates, our financial results could be impacted.

5. Fair Value Measurements

Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the
principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. The fair value hierarchy prescribed by the accounting literature contains three levels as follows:



| |  |  | Level 1  Inputs to the valuation based upon quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets that are accessible
as of the measurement date.
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Level 2  Inputs to the valuation include quoted prices in either markets that are not active, or in active markets for similar assets or
liabilities, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable, and inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data.
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Level 3  Inputs to the valuation that are unobservable inputs for the asset or liability.
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Our senior notes are
reported at carrying value. The fair value of our senior notes is the asking price of our senior notes at the end of the fiscal quarter. The carrying value and fair value of our senior notes are $150.0 million and $142.7 million at March 31,
2010 and $150.0 million and $144.0 million at December 31, 2009, respectively.

6. Fair Value of Financial Instruments

Our financial instruments are primarily comprised of cash and cash equivalents, receivables, accounts payable, accrued liabilities and
long-term debt. For cash and cash equivalents, receivables, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, the carrying amount approximates fair value because of the short maturity of these instruments. The estimated fair value of the senior notes due
2014 at March 31, 2010, based on quoted market prices, was $142.7 million. Management estimates that the carrying values of our other financial instruments approximate their value since their realization or satisfaction is expected to occur in
the short term or have been renegotiated at a date close to quarter end.

7. Income Taxes

Our effective tax rate was 33.9% for the first quarter of fiscal 2010 compared to effective tax rate benefit of 38.9% in the same period
one year ago. The change in our effective tax rate is attributable to a sales tax credit and a hiring credit under the Enterprise Zone (EZ) designation. We became eligible for the EZ credits effective October 2006.

Overview

California
Steel is 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.

Net
sales. Net sales in the first quarter of fiscal 2010 increased 58% to $232.7 million, compared with $147.1 million in the same period one year ago. The increase resulted primarily from an increase in sales volume of 108% compared to
the same period one year ago. The higher sales volume increased net sales approximately $154.7 million. This increase was partially offset by a decrease in the average selling price of 25% compared to the same period one year ago which decreased net
sales approximately $30.8 million. The remaining offsetting decrease in net sales was primarily from lower value product mix during the first quarter of fiscal 2010 compared to the same period one year ago.

Gross profit (loss). Our gross profit rate in the first quarter of fiscal 2010 increased to 9.1% of net sales,
compared with a gross loss of 14.5% of net sales in the same period one year ago. The increase was due to higher sale volume which was partially offset by the increase in raw material consumption costs. The write-down of inventory to the lower of
cost or market of $35.0 million reduced gross profit by 23.8% during the first quarter of fiscal 2009. There was no such adjustment during the first quarter of fiscal 2010.

Selling, general and administrative (SG&A) expenses. Our SG&A expense rate in the first quarter of fiscal
2010 decreased by 1.0% to 2.0% of net sales, compared with 3.0% of net sales in the same period one year ago. The decrease in our SG&A expense rate is largely attributable to an increase of our net sales of 58% since the majority of our SG&A
expenses are fixed costs. Our SG&A expenses consist primarily of labor and various administrative expenses. Labor costs comprised of approximately 57% and 58% of our SG&A expenses for the first quarter of fiscal 2010 and 2009, respectively.

Net interest expense. Net interest expense in the first quarter of fiscal 2010 decreased $463,000, or
19.9%, to $1.9 million compared with $2.3 million in the same period one year ago. The decrease in net interest expense was attributable to a decrease in the average outstanding debt and an increase in capitalized interest of $359,000 when compared
to the same period one year ago.

Other income. Other income was $1.4 million for the first quarter of
fiscal 2010, compared with $2.9 million in the same period one year ago. 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 period to period.

Income tax expense (benefit). Our income tax expense was $5.3 million for the first quarter of fiscal 2010 compared
with an income tax benefit of $9.8 million in the same period one year ago. Our effective income tax rate was 33.9% for the first quarter of fiscal 2010 compared with an effective income tax rate benefit of 38.9% in the same period one year ago.

Net income (loss). Our net income was $10.4 million for the first quarter of fiscal 2010 compared with
net loss of $15.3 million in the same period one year ago.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

We ended the first quarter of fiscal year 2010 with $55.2 million of cash and cash equivalents compared with $61.7 million at the end of
fiscal 2009. Working capital, the excess of current assets over current liabilities, was $228.9 million at the end of the first quarter of fiscal 2010, up from $222.0 million at the end of fiscal 2009. We ended the first quarter of fiscal 2010 and
the end of fiscal 2009 with over $108.8 million in financing available under our revolving credit facility.

Operating Activities

Cash provided by operating activities was $4.5 million for the first quarter of fiscal 2010 compared with $72.5 million in first quarter
of fiscal 2009. The changes were due primarily to a change in net income, operating assets and liabilities and the inventory write-down. The changes in operating assets and liabilities were due primarily to changes in trade accounts receivable,
inventories, accounts payable and prepaid income taxes. The decrease in cash provided for prepaid income taxes resulted mainly from an income tax refund that was received in the first quarter of fiscal 2009 which was partially offset higher
estimated taxable income during the first quarter of fiscal 2010. The decrease in cash used for trade accounts receivable was primarily due to an increased sales volume. The increase in cash used for accounts payable was due primarily to timing of
vendor payments. The decrease in cash provided for inventories was due to the write-down of inventory to the lower or cost or market during the first quarter of fiscal 2009.

Investing Activities

Cash used in investing activities was $8.5 million for the first quarter of fiscal 2010 compared with $10.3 million in the first quarter
of fiscal 2009. The decrease in cash used by investing activities was primarily due the reduction in capital expenditures, specifically the construction of the second reheat furnace. The primary purposes of our capital expenditures were to support
our expansion plans and improve our operational efficiency.

Financing Activities

Cash used in financing activities was $2.5 million for the first quarter of fiscal 2010 compared to no financing activities for the first
quarter of fiscal 2009. The changes in financing activities were due to repayments on our term loan.

Sources of
Liquidity

Our most significant sources of liquidity continue to be funds generated by operating activities and cash
and cash equivalents. We believe funds generated from the expected results of operations and available cash and cash equivalents will be sufficient to finance anticipated capital expenditure plans for fiscal year 2010. In addition, our revolving
credit facility is available for additional working capital needs. There can be no assurance, however, that we will continue to generate cash flows at or above current levels or that we will be able to maintain our ability to borrow under our
revolving credit facility.

On March 28, 2008, we entered into a Term Loan Agreement with The Bank of Tokyo-Mitsubishi,
Ltd. for a $40.0 million unsecured five-year term loan maturing April 2013 to finance construction of our second reheat furnace and other working capital needs. The Term Loan Agreement provided for a single loan disbursement of the entire principal
amount on April 1, 2008. Interest on the principal balance of the loan shall accrue at a rate of 3.38% for the first two years of the loan and a rate of 3.58% for the remaining three years of the loan and is payable quarterly commencing July
2008. Quarterly principal payments commenced in July 2009.

In September 2005, we entered into a five year $110.0 million
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 be made at any time prior to the credit facility termination date. As of March 31, 2010, there were no outstanding borrowings 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, we issued an aggregate of $150.0 million of ten-year, 6.125% senior unsecured notes due in March 2014. With the
proceeds of this issuance and cash on hand, we retired our 8.50% senior notes due in 2009. Interest on our



8

##### Table of Contents

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 our subordinated indebtedness and equal in right of payment
to all of our existing and future indebtedness that is not by its terms subordinated to the notes. We may redeem the notes in whole or in part at any time after March 15, 2009. The redemption price is based on a percentage premium in excess of
the face value of the notes which decreases over time. We periodically evaluate the cost of alternative forms of financing in the market versus the cost of redeeming and retiring the notes. Depending on the current market value of the notes, we
further periodically evaluate whether to acquire notes in the market as a means to lower our financing costs. The indenture governing the notes contains covenants that limit our 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 our assets and the assets of
certain subsidiaries on a consolidated basis. We were in compliance with all covenants and restrictions at March 31, 2010.

We currently have $9.2 million in material commitments for capital expenditures expected to be completed during fiscal 2010. These
represent signed purchase orders for various production facility upgrades including the construction of our second reheat furnace. Our total budget for capital improvements in 2010 is $36.7 million of which $6.7 million relates to the second reheat
furnace project. We are committed, in the form of open purchase orders, to purchase $322.4 million in steel slabs, of which $52.3 million are from a related party.

We anticipate that our primary liquidity requirements will be for working capital, capital expenditures, debt service and the payment of
dividends. We believe that cash generated from operations and available borrowings under our bank facility will be sufficient to meet our liquidity requirements for fiscal 2010.

Critical Accounting Policies

We describe our significant accounting policies in Item 7, Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
Results ofOperations, in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2009. There has been no change in our significant accounting policies since the end of 2009.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In January 2010, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update
(ASU) No. 2010-6, Improving Disclosures about Fair Value Measurements (ASU 2010-6). This update amended guidance and issued a clarification with regard to disclosure requirements about fair market value
measurement. A reporting entity is

##### Table of Contents

required to disclose separately the amounts of significant transfers in and out of Level 1 and Level 2 fair value measurements and describe the reasons for the transfers. In addition, for
measurements utilizing significant unobservable inputs, a reporting entity should present separately information about purchases, sales, issuances, and settlements. We adopted ASU 2010-6 on January 1, 2010. There was no impact upon adoption of
ASU 2010-6 to our financial position or results of operations.

In February 2010, FASB issued ASU No. 2010-9,
Amendments to Certain Recognition and Disclosure Requirements (ASU 2010-9). This amendment removed the requirement for a Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) filer to disclose a date through which
subsequent events have been evaluated in both issued and revised financial statements. This amendment is effective upon issuance date of February 24, 2010. There was no impact upon adoption of ASU 2010-9 to our financial position or results of
operations.

Safe Harbor Statement Under the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act

Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the
Act), provide a safe harbor for forward-looking statements to encourage companies to provide prospective information about their companies. With the exception of historical information, the matters discussed in this Quarterly
Report on Form 10-Q are forward-looking statements and may be identified by the use of words such as anticipate, estimate, expect, intend, plan, project, and other words and
terms of similar meaning. Such statements reflect our current view with respect to future events and are subject to certain risks, uncertainties and assumptions. A variety of factors could cause our future results to differ materially from the
anticipated results expressed in such forward-looking statements. Readers should review Item 1A, Risk Factors, of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2009, for a description of important factors that could
cause future results to differ materially from those contemplated by the forward-looking statements made in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

The following risk factors may affect our operating results and the environment within which we conduct our business:



| |  |  | Fluctuations in raw materials and freight prices as a result of changes industry dynamics, increased oil prices and global steel consumption;
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Our substantial indebtedness, interest expense and principal repayment obligations under our credit facility, when drawn upon, and 6.125% senior notes,
which could limit its ability to use operating cash flow in our business other than for debt-servicing obligations, obtain additional financing and react to changing market and general conditions, and which increase our vulnerability to interest
rate increases;
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | The possibility of deadlocks among our board of directors that could result in delays in making important business decisions which could result in a
competitive disadvantage due to the size of the board currently consisting of four members as elected by our two stockholders, each of whom holds 50% of our stock;
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Fluctuations in commodity prices for our electricity and natural gas requirements, as well as the viability of the electrical power distribution system
within the State of California;
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Possible adverse effects resulting from new U.S. trade measures or increases in tariffs on imported steel slab;
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Competitive factors and pricing pressures;
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------



| |  |  | The ability to control costs and maintain quality;
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Future expenditures for capital projects;
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------



| |  |  | Fluctuations in the cost of management and hourly labor or other resources necessary to successfully operate our manufacturing plant;
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Our ability to raise prices sufficiently to offset cost increases, including increased costs for minimum wages, employee benefits and insurance
arrangements;
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Legal claims and litigation against us;
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------



| |  |  | Changes in, or any failure to comply with, governmental regulations;
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Industry-wide market factors and general economic and business conditions; changes in general economic,

|ITEM 3. | QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
|------- | ----------------------------------------------------------

In addition to the risks inherent in our operations, we are exposed to market risks, including interest rates and utility consumption
rates.

Interest Rate Risk

Floating rate credit facility

At March 31, 2010, there were no borrowings on our $110.0 million floating rate credit facility. The carrying value of the floating
rate credit facility approximates fair value as the interest rate is variable and resets frequently. Changes in interest rates generally do not affect the fair value of our credit facility, but do affect earnings and cash flow. The credit facility
bears interest at the Eurodollar rate or the prime rate, which was approximately 1.15% (one month rate) (including margin) and 3.25%, respectively, at March 31, 2010. We expect to borrow approximately $63.0 million from our credit facility
during the remainder of 2010. We estimate that average amount of debt outstanding under the facility for the remaining of fiscal 2010 will be approximately $25.0 million. Therefore, a one-percentage point increase in interest rates would result in
an increase in interest expense of $250,000 for the year. We do not manage the interest rate risk on our credit facility through the use of derivative instruments.

Fixed rate debt

At March 31, 2010, our short-term and long-term fixed rate debt comprised of our $150.0 million senior notes and $40.0 million term
loan. Changes in interest rates generally affect the fair value of our fixed rate debt instruments. We do not have an obligation to repay our senior notes prior to maturity and, as a result, interest rate risk and changes in fair value should not
have a significant impact on us. We believe that the interest rate on our term loan approximates the current rate available for similar types of financing and as a result the carrying amount approximates the fair value. We do not manage the interest
rate risk on our fixed rate debt through the use of derivative instruments.

We do not believe that the future market rate
risk related to our floating rate credit facility and fixed rate debt will have a material impact on our financial position, results of operations or liquidity.

Other Market Risks

Utility consumption rates

Our daily average electrical demand is approximately 35 megawatts to operate production equipment in manufacturing our products. We are
currently a full-service bundled utility customer of Southern California Edison. Due to higher projected production in 2010, our electricity costs are expected to be higher than 2009 levels. Our electricity costs accounted for 2.1% of our cost of
goods sold for the first quarter of fiscal 2010 compared to 2.0% in the same period one year ago.

At full capacity, we
generally utilize a daily average of approximately 12,000 million British thermal units, or MMBTUs, of natural gas to produce our products. To stabilize price volatility, we periodically use a risk management approach to fix the price on
portions of our natural gas requirements up to two years ahead through financial and/or physical hedging arrangements.

We
currently have in place fixed price physical purchase agreements for approximately 5% of our natural gas commodity requirements for fiscal 2010. We continue to monitor the near and long term price trends of natural gas and may enter into such
instruments when we deem it appropriate or when opportunities present themselves. Our natural gas costs accounted for 2.4% of our cost of goods sold for the first quarter of fiscal 2010 compared to 1.8% in the same period one year ago.



|ITEM 4. | CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
|------- | -----------------------

For the period ending March 31, 2010 (the Evaluation Date), we carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with
the participation of our management, including the President and Chief Executive Officer and the Executive Vice

President, Finance and Administration (the principal finance and accounting officer), of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures pursuant to Rules
13a-15 and 15d-15 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the Exchange Act). Based upon that evaluation, the President and Chief Executive Officer and the Executive Vice President, Finance and Administration concluded
that, as of March 31, 2010, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective.

Additionally, the President and Chief
Executive Officer and the Executive Vice President, Finance and Administration determined, as of March 31, 2010, that there were no changes in our internal controls over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the
Exchange Act) or in other factors that could significantly affect our internal controls over financial reporting.
