ITEM 2.02. Results of Operations and Financial Condition

On February 21, 2007, Cleveland-Cliffs Inc issued a news release announcing the revenues and earnings for the fourth-quarter and full year ended December 31, 2006, a copy of which was attached as Exhibit 99(a) to the Current Report on Form 8-K filed on February 21, 2007. Subsequently, an error was discovered in the Statement of Consolidated Operations (Unaudited) that was included in the February 21, 2007 news release. The error resulted in a $7 million overstatement of Freight and Venture Partners’ Cost Reimbursements and an understatement of Cost of Goods Sold in an equal amount. The error had no impact on net income or earnings per share. A corrected Statement of Consolidated Operations (Unaudited) is attached as Exhibit 99(a) to this Current Report on Form 8-K.
