PART III

NARRATIVE

State below in reasonable detail the reasons why Forms 10-K, 20-F, 11-K 10-Q, 10-D, N-SAR, N-CSR, or the transition report or portion thereof, could not be filed within the prescribed time period.

Cleveland-Cliffs Inc (the “Company”) was not able to file its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2006 (the “Form 10-K”) by March 1, 2007. The delay resulted from a review undertaken in connection with a concern that was raised anonymously through the Company’s Web-based Ethics and Compliance Hotline. The concern focused on a specific contract revenue accounting item that allegedly affected the fourth quarter of 2006. The Audit Committee of the Company’s Board of Directors, with the assistance of outside legal counsel and the Company’s internal auditors, immediately commenced an investigation. On February 27, the Audit Committee received a report of its investigation, which to date has found no basis for the allegation. Because this investigation is not yet complete, Deloitte & Touche LLP, the Company’s independent auditors, have not completed their audit and therefore the Company was not in a position to file the Form 10-K by March 1, 2007. The Form 10-K will be filed as soon as practicable and in any event no later than March 16, 2007.

PART IV

If the answer is no, identify report(s).    x  Yes    ¨  No

(3) Is it anticipated that any significant change in results of operations from the corresponding period for the last fiscal year will be reflected by the earnings statements to be included in the subject report or portion thereof?    ¨  Yes    x  No

If so: attach an explanation of the anticipated change, both narratively and quantitatively, and, if appropriate, state the reasons why a reasonable estimate of the results cannot be made.
