Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Note 1 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation - The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, except that the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements do not include all of the information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for complete financial statements.  However, in the opinion of Accuride Corporation ("Accuride" or the "Company"), all adjustments (consisting primarily of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary to present fairly the condensed consolidated financial statements have been included.  Certain operating results from prior periods have been reclassified to discontinued operations to conform to the current year presentation.

The results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2012 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the year ending December 31, 2012.  The unaudited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto should be read in conjunction with the audited  consolidated financial statements and notes thereto disclosed in Accuride's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2011.

On January 31, 2011, substantially all of the assets, liabilities and business of our Bostrom Seating subsidiary were sold to a subsidiary of Commercial Vehicle Group, Inc. for approximately $8.8 million and resulted in recognition of a $0.2 million loss on our consolidated statement of operations in the six months ended June 30, 2011, which have been reclassified to discontinued operations.  Of the purchase price, $1.0 million was placed into a one year escrow securing the indemnification obligations of Bostrom to Commercial Vehicle Group, Inc.  During the six months ended June 30, 2012, the escrow was terminated and the Company received the full balance of $1.0 million from the escrow.  See Note 2 "Discontinued Operations" for further discussion.

On June 20, 2011, the Company entered into, and consummated the acquisition contemplated by, an Asset Purchase Agreement (the "Agreement"), pursuant to which the Company's subsidiary, Accuride EMI, LLC ("Buyer"), acquired substantially all of the assets and assumed certain liabilities of Forgitron Technologies LLC ("Seller"), a manufacturer and supplier of aluminum wheels for commercial vehicles.  Pursuant to the Agreement, Buyer purchased the acquired assets for a purchase price of $22.4 million in cash.   This acquisition included an 80,000 square foot forged aluminum wheel manufacturing facility in Camden, South Carolina ("Camden") and is consistent with the Company's planned capacity expansion of its core aluminum wheel product line.

The Camden acquisition was accounted for by the acquisition method of accounting.  Under acquisition accounting, the total purchase price has been allocated to the tangible and intangible assets and liabilities of Camden based upon their fair values.  We finalized the fair valuation of net assets acquired, for property, plant, and equipment, intangible assets, and goodwill, during the fourth quarter of 2011.  In connection with the allocation of the purchase price, we recorded goodwill of approximately $1.1 million as shown in the following table:

On September 26, 2011, the Company announced the sale of its wholly-owned subsidiary, Fabco Automotive Corporation ("Fabco") to Fabco Holdings, Inc., a new company formed and capitalized by Wynnchurch Capital, Ltd. in partnership with Stone River Capital Partners, LLC.  The sale concluded for a purchase price of $35.0 million, subject to a working capital adjustment, plus a contingent payment of up to $2.0 million depending on Fabco's financial performance during calendar year 2012.  See Note 2 "Discontinued Operations" for further discussion.

Management's Estimates and Assumptions - The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.  Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Earnings Per Common Share - Basic and diluted earnings per common share were computed as follows:

As of June 30, 2012, there were options exercisable for 221,541 shares that were not included in the computation of diluted earnings per share because the effect would be anti-dilutive.  As of June 30, 2011, there were warrants exercisable for 2,205,882 shares that were not included in the computation of diluted earnings per share because the effect would be anti-dilutive.  The warrants were exercisable at an exercise price of $21.00 per share and expired on February 26, 2012 unexercised.

Income Tax -Under Interim Financial Reporting, we compute on a quarterly basis an estimated annual effective tax rate considering ordinary income and related income tax expense. Ordinary income refers to income (loss) before income tax expense excluding significant, unusual, or infrequently occurring items. The tax effect of an unusual or infrequently occurring item is recorded in the interim period in which it occurs. Other items included in income tax expense in the periods in which they occur include the cumulative effect of changes in tax laws or rates, foreign exchange gains and losses, adjustments to uncertain tax positions, and adjustments to our valuation allowance due to changes in judgment in the realizability of deferred tax assets in future years.
 
We have assessed the need to maintain a valuation allowance for deferred tax assets based on an assessment of whether it is more likely than not that deferred tax benefits will be realized through the generation of future taxable income. Appropriate consideration is given to all available evidence, both positive and negative, in assessing the need for a valuation allowance. Due to our recent history of U.S. operating and taxable losses, the inconsistency of these profits, and the uncertainty of our financial outlook, we continue to maintain a full valuation allowance against our domestic deferred tax assets.
 
Recent Accounting Adoptions

In June 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued ASU 2011-05, Presentation of Comprehensive Income.  The objective of this update is to facilitate convergence of U.S. GAAP and International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS").  This update revises the manner in which entities present comprehensive income in their financial statements.  Entities have the option to present total comprehensive income, the components of net income, and the components of other comprehensive income as either a single, continuous statement of comprehensive income or as two separate but consecutive statements.  The amendments of this update do not change the items that must be reported in other comprehensive income or when an item of other comprehensive income must be reclassified to net income.  The amendments in this update are to be applied retrospectively for all periods presented in the financial statements and are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2011.  The adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.
 
In May 2011, the FASB issued ASU No. 2011-04, "Amendments to Achieve Common Fair Value Measurement and Disclosure Requirements in U.S. GAAP and IFRSs."  This guidance amends U.S. GAAP to conform with measurement and disclosure requirements in IFRS.  The amendments change the wording used to describe the requirements in U.S. GAAP for measuring fair value and for disclosing information about fair value measurements, and they include those that clarify the FASB's intent about the application of existing fair value measurement and disclosure requirements and those that change a particular principle or requirement for measuring fair value or for disclosing information about fair value measurements.  In addition, to improve consistency in application across jurisdictions, some changes in wording are necessary to ensure that U.S. GAAP and IFRS fair value measurement and disclosure requirements are described in the same way.  This amended guidance is to be applied prospectively and is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2011.  The Company adopted ASU No. 2011-04 effective January 1, 2012 and it did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.
