Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To the Plan Administrator
Reliance Steel & Aluminum Co. Master 401(k) Plan
Los Angeles, California
We have audited the accompanying statements of net assets available for benefits of Reliance Steel & Aluminum Co. Master 401(k) Plan (Plan) as of December 31, 2007 and 2006 and the related statement of changes in net assets available for benefits for the year ended December 31, 2007. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Plan’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits 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. The Plan is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audits 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 Plan’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, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the net assets available for benefits of the Plan as of December 31, 2007 and 2006 and the changes in net assets available for benefits for the year ended December 31, 2007, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Our audits were performed for the purpose of forming an opinion on the basic financial statements taken as a whole. The supplemental schedule of assets (held at end of year) as of December 31, 2007 is presented for the purpose of additional analysis and is not a required part of the basic financial statements but is supplementary information required by the Department of Labor’s Rules and Regulations for Reporting and Disclosure under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974. This supplemental schedule is the responsibility of the Plan’s management. The supplemental schedule has been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audit of the basic financial statements and, in our opinion, is fairly stated in all material respects in relation to the basic financial statements taken as a whole.

The Plan is administered by the RSAC Employee Benefit Committee (“Plan Administrator”). The Plan is a 401(k) plan established for all employees of the Participating Employers of the Company who are not members of a collective bargaining unit for which the Company is required to make contributions to another 401(k) plan.

  Description of the Plan (Continued)   Participant Accounts

Each participant’s account is credited with the participant’s contributions, the Company’s contributions, and allocations of investment earnings. The benefit to which a participant is entitled is the benefit that can be provided from the participant’s vested account. Participants may direct the investment of their account balances into various investment funds offered by the Plan.
 
       
 
      Vesting
 
       
 
      Participants are immediately vested in their accounts with respect to participant contributions, eligible rollovers and earnings thereon. Participants vest in Company contributions and earnings thereon based upon the following schedule:
         
Years of Service   Vested Percentage
 
Less than 1
    0 %
1
    25 %
2
    50 %
3
    75 %
4 or more
    100 %
         
 
      Participant Loans
 
       
 
      Participants may borrow from their accounts up to the lesser of $50,000 or 50% of their vested account balance. Loans to participants are secured by the respective participant’s vested account balance and are subject to interest charges. Interest rates applicable to participant loans are determined by the Plan Administrator on the first day of each calendar quarter based on prevailing market rates. Loans are repayable ratably through periodic payroll deductions over a term not exceeding five years, or ten years for loans used for the purchase of a primary residence. Loans to participants as of December 31, 2007 bear interest at rates ranging from 5.00% to 10.50% and mature through November 2017.

  Description of the Plan (Continued)   Payment of Benefits

Upon retirement, disability, death, or termination of service, a participant is eligible to receive a lump-sum amount equal to the value of the vested interest in his or her account. Other withdrawals from participants’ account balances may be made under certain circumstances, as defined in the Plan document.
 
       
 
      Forfeitures
 
       
 
      Forfeitures from nonvested participant accounts are used to reduce future Company contributions. Forfeited nonvested accounts and other prepaid contributions totaled $244,303 and $129,846 at December 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively. For the year ended December 31, 2007, $244,303 was used to reduce the Company’s contributions.
 
       
 
      Administrative Expenses
 
       
 
      Non-investment costs and administrative expenses of the Plan are paid by the Company which is a party-in-interest. These expenses, which are not reflected in the accompanying financial statements, constitute exempt party-in-interest transactions under ERISA. Loan establishment, loan maintenance and short-term trading fees are paid by the Plan and all other investment expenses are offset against the related investment income.
 
       
2.
  Summary of Significant Accounting Policies   Basis of Presentation

The accompanying financial statements of the Plan are prepared under the accrual method of accounting in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.
 
       
 
      As described in Financial Accounting Standards Board Staff Position AAG INV-1 and SOP 94-4-1, Reporting of Fully Benefit-Responsive Investment Contracts Held by Certain Investment Companies Subject to the AICPA Investment Company Guide and Defined-Contribution Health and Welfare and Pension Plans, investment contracts held by a defined-contribution plan are required to be reported at fair value. However, contract value is the relevant measurement attribute for that portion of the net assets available for plan benefits of a defined contribution plan attributable to fully benefit-responsive investment contracts because contract value is the amount participants would receive if they were to initiate permitted transactions under the terms of the Plan.
 
       
 
      The Plan invests in the Fidelity Managed Income Portfolio which is a common collective trust. It invests in fully benefit-responsive investment contracts issued by insurance companies and other financial institutions, and in fixed income securities (see Investment Valuation and Income Recognition). The Plan’s Statements of Net Assets Available for Benefits present the fair value of these investment contracts as well as the adjustment of the fully benefit-responsive investment contracts from fair value to contract value. The Statement of Changes in Net Assets Available for Benefits is prepared on a contract value basis.

      Use of Estimates
 
       
 
      The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could materially differ from those estimates.
 
       
 
      New Accounting Pronouncements
 
       
 
      In September 2006, the FASB issued Statement on Financial Accounting Standards No. 157 (SFAS No. 157), Fair Value Measurements. This standard clarifies the definition of fair value for financial reporting, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and requires additional disclosures about the use of fair value measurements. SFAS No. 157 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. Plan management is currently evaluating the effect that the provisions of SFAS No. 157 will have on the Plan’s financial statements.
 
       
 
      Investment Valuation and Income Recognition
 
       
 
      The Plan’s investments in registered investment companies (mutual funds) and in common stock are stated at fair value based on the quoted market price of the funds and common stock, which represents the net asset value of the shares held by the Plan at year end. The common collective trust is stated at fair value based upon the value of the underlying investments and then adjusted to contract value as described below. Participant loans are stated at cost, which approximates fair value because the loans bear interest at rates commensurate with loans of similar credit quality and duration as of year-end. Purchases and sales of securities are recorded on a trade-date basis. Interest income is recorded on the accrual basis. Dividends are recorded on the ex-dividend date.

2.
  Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)   In determining the net assets available for benefits, the Fidelity Managed Income Portfolio is included in the Plan’s financial statements at contract value, which represents contributions made under the contracts, plus earnings, less withdrawals and administrative expenses. In accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, an investment contract is generally valued at contract value, rather than fair value, to the extent it is fully benefit-responsive.
 
       
 
      Net Appreciation (Depreciation) in Fair Value of Investments
 
       
 
      Realized and unrealized appreciation (depreciation) in the fair value of investments is based on the difference between the fair value of the assets at the beginning of the year, or at the time of purchase for assets purchased during the year, and the related fair value on the day investments are sold with respect to realized appreciation (depreciation), or on the last day of the year for unrealized appreciation (depreciation).
 
       
 
      Realized and unrealized appreciation (depreciation) is recorded in the accompanying Statement of Changes in Net Assets Available for Benefits as net appreciation in fair value of investments.
 
       
 
      Risks and Uncertainties
 
       
 
      The Plan provides various funds that hold investment securities. Investment securities are exposed to various risks such as interest rate, market volatility, and credit risks. Due to the level of risk associated with certain investment securities and the level of uncertainty related to changes in the value of investment securities, it is at least reasonably possible that changes in risk in the near term would materially affect participants’ account balances and the amounts reported in the financial statements.

2.
  Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)   The Plan provides investment options that hold securities of foreign companies, which may involve special risks and considerations not typically associated with investing in U.S. companies. These risks include devaluation of currencies, less reliable information about issuers, different securities transaction clearance and settlement practices, and possible adverse political and economic developments. Moreover, securities of many foreign companies and their markets may be less liquid and their prices more volatile than securities of comparable U.S. companies.
 
       
 
      Participant Distributions
 
       
 
      Benefits paid to participants are recorded when paid.
 
       
3.
  Investments   Participants may invest in certain investments offered by Fidelity Management Trust Company, the custodian of the Plan, including a unitized common stock fund containing common stock of Reliance Steel & Aluminum Co. and interest and non-interest bearing cash. At December 31, 2007 and 2006, the Plan held 801,814 and 923,538 unitized shares of Reliance Steel & Aluminum Co. stock fund with a fair value of $31,976,360 and $27,156,550, respectively. As of December 31, 2007 and 2006, the Reliance Steel & Aluminum Co. stock fund consisted of 564,396 and 655,284 shares, respectively, of Reliance Steel & Aluminum Co. common stock valued at $30,590,263 and $25,805,084, respectively, and interest bearing cash of approximately $1,418,344 and $1,187,848, respectively, and other receivables and cash of approximately $125,630 and $163,618, respectively. Benefits payable of the Reliance Steel & Aluminum Co. stock fund totaling $131,288 are reported on the Form 5500 at December 31, 2006. These liabilities are not reflected on the accompanying financial statements (see Note 8).
 
       
 
      For risks and uncertainties regarding investment in the Company’s common stock, participants should refer to the Reliance Steel & Aluminum Co. Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2007.

  Income Tax
Status
  The Plan obtained its latest determination letter on May 31, 2005, in which the Internal Revenue Service stated that the Plan, as designed, was in compliance with the applicable requirements of the Internal Revenue Code (IRC) including amendments to comply with recent legislation (GUST). The Plan has been amended since receiving the determination letter. An operational failure was noted in the calculation of the employer match contribution for 9 employees. The Company expects to submit the additional match contribution due, plus earnings, to the accounts of the affected participants in July 2008. Notwithstanding the above, the Plan administrator believes the Plan is currently designed and being operated in compliance with the applicable requirements of the IRC.
 
       
6.
  Related Party Transactions   Certain Plan investments are shares of mutual funds, shares of a unitized common stock fund and a money market fund managed by Fidelity Management Trust Company. Fidelity Management Trust Company is the custodian and trustee as defined by the Plan and, therefore, these transactions qualify as party-in-interest transactions. Fees paid by the Plan to the custodian for administrative expenses amounted to $53,028 for the year ended December 31, 2007.

  Excess
Contributions
