NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

AS OF DECEMBER 31, 2005 AND JUNE 30, 2006 AND FOR THE THREE AND SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2005 AND 2006

(UNAUDITED) (AMOUNTS IN THOUSANDS, EXCEPT SHARE AND PER SHARE DATA)

Note 1 —Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation— The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, except that the unaudited 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 of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary to present fairly the consolidated financial statements have been included.

The results of operations for the six months ended June 30, 2006 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the year ending December 31, 2006.  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, 2005.

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.

Derivative Financial Instruments — We use derivative financial instruments as part of our overall risk management strategy as further described under Item 7A of the 2005 Annual Report on Form 10-K.  The derivative instruments used from time to time include interest rate, foreign exchange, and commodity price instruments.  All derivative instruments designated as hedges are recognized on the balance sheet at their estimated fair value.

Interest Rate Instruments — We entered into interest rate swap agreements in the first quarter of 2005 as a means of fixing the interest rate on portions of our floating-rate debt.  The total notional amount of outstanding interest rate swaps at June 30, 2006 was $250 million, maturing in March of 2007 and 2008.  Included as a reduction to interest expense for the three months ended June 30, 2006 are realized gains of $0.5 million and unrealized gains of $0.9 million.  Included in interest expense for the three months ended June 30, 2005 are realized losses of $0.4 million and unrealized losses of $2.6 million.  Included as a reduction to interest expense for the six months ended June 30, 2006 are realized gains of $1.1 million and unrealized gains of $2.2 million.  Included in interest expense for the six months ended June 30, 2005 are realized losses of $0.4 million and unrealized losses of $1.1 million.

Foreign Exchange Instruments — From time to time we use foreign currency forward contracts and option contracts to limit foreign exchange risk on anticipated but not yet committed transactions expected to be denominated in Canadian dollars and are following the guidance under Derivative Implementation Group (“DIG”) item G20 to account for the option contracts.  As these contracts have been designated as cash flow hedges, unrealized gains or losses will be deferred in Other Comprehensive Income (See Note 10) with only realized gains or losses reflected in current period earnings as Cost of Goods Sold.  To the extent that any of these contracts are not completely effective in offsetting the change in the value of the anticipated transactions being hedged, any changes in fair value relating to the ineffective portion of these contracts will be immediately recognized in Cost of Goods Sold.  At June 30, 2006, we had no open foreign exchange forward contracts or option contracts.

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

	For the Three Months Ended June 30,				For the Six Months Ended June 30,
	2005		2006		2005		2006
Numerator:
Net income	$	17,019	$	18,343	$	17,207	$	38,378
Denominator:
Weighted average shares outstanding - Basic	30,601		34,146		25,284		34,064
Effect of dilutive stock options	776		418		742		460
Weighted average shares outstanding - Diluted	31,377		34,564		26,026		34,524
Basic earnings per common share	$	0.56	$	0.54	$	0.68	$	1.13
Diluted earnings per common share	$	0.54	$	0.53	$	0.66	$	1.11

All outstanding options were included in the calculation of diluted earnings per share for both periods.

Stock-Based Compensation—As described in Note 8, we maintain stock-based compensation plans which allow for the issuance of nonqualified stock options to officers, other key employees, and to members of our Board of Directors who are not employees.  We also maintain an employee stock purchase plan that provides for the issuance of shares to all eligible employees at a discounted price.  Prior to 2006, we accounted for the plans under the recognition and measurement provisions under APB Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees, and related Interpretations (APB 25).  Accordingly, because all stock options granted had an exercise price equal to the market value of the underlying common stock on the date of grant, no compensation expense related to employee stock options was recognized.  Also, as the employee stock purchase plan was considered non-compensatory, no compensation expense related to this plan was recognized.  Effective January 1, 2006, we adopted SFAS No. 123(R), Share-Based Payment.  Under the modified prospective method of adoption, compensation expense related to stock options is recognized beginning in 2006, but compensation expense in 2005 related to stock options continues to be disclosed on a pro forma basis only.  SFAS No. 123(R) requires that forfeitures be estimated over the vesting period of an award, rather than be recognized as a reduction of compensation expense at the time of the actual forfeiture.

The following table illustrates the effect on income and earnings per share if we had applied the fair value recognition provisions to stock-based employee compensation in 2005.

	For the Three Months Ended June 30, 2005			For the Six Months Ended June 30, 2005

Recent Accounting Adoptions — SFAS No. 123 (revised 2004)— In December 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 123(R), Share-Based Payment.  SFAS No. 123(R) is a revision of SFAS No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation, and supersedes APB Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees, and our related implementation guidance.  The statement focuses primarily on accounting for transactions in which an entity obtains employee services in share-based payment transactions.  SFAS No. 123(R) requires a public entity to measure the cost of employee services received in exchange for an award of equity instruments based on the grant-date fair value of the award.  That cost is to be recognized over the period during which an employee is required to provide service in exchange for the award.  Accuride adopted SFAS No. 123(R) as of January 1, 2006 and recorded $0.6 million and $0.7 million of pre-tax compensation expense in the three and six months ended June 30, 2006, respectively.

SFAS No. 151—In November 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 151, Inventory Costs, an amendment of ARB No. 43, Chapter 4. The amendments made by SFAS No. 151 clarify that abnormal amounts of idle facility expense, freight, handling costs, and wasted materials (spoilage) should be recognized as current-period charges and requires the allocation of fixed production overheads to inventory based on the normal capacity of the production facilities. Accuride adopted SFAS No. 151 as of January 1, 2006.  There was no impact on our 2006 consolidated financial statements.

SFAS No. 153—In December 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 153, Exchanges of Nonmonetary Assets, an amendment of APB Opinion No. 29, Accounting for Nonmonetary Transactions. The amendments made by SFAS No. 153 are based on the principle that exchanges of nonmonetary assets should be measured based on the fair value of the assets exchanged. Further, the amendments eliminate the narrow exception for nonmonetary exchanges of similar productive assets and replace it with a broader exception for exchanges of nonmonetary assets that do not have commercial substance. Accuride adopted SFAS No. 153 as of January 1, 2006.  There was no impact on our 2006 consolidated financial statements.

Recent Accounting Pronouncement - In July 2006, the FASB issued Interpretation (FIN) No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes, to address the noncomparability in reporting tax assets and liabilities resulting from a lack of specific guidance in SFAS No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes, on the uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an enterprise’s financial statements.  Specifically, FIN No. 48 prescribes (a) a consistent recognition threshold and (b) a measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return, and provides related guidance on derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure, and transition.  FIN No. 48 will apply to fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006.  Management is currently evaluating the impact of FIN No. 48 on the consolidated financial statements.

Reclassifications— Certain amounts in the 2005 consolidated statements of income have been reclassified to conform to the 2006 presentation. Included in these reclassifications are certain costs totaling $4.8 million and $8.1 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2005, respectively, that have been reclassified from selling, general and administrative expenses to cost of goods sold. These reclassifications do not have any impact on 2005 net income and are immaterial to the consolidated statements of income.

Note 2 - Acquisition

On January 31, 2005, we completed our acquisition of Transportation Technologies Industries, Inc. (TTI).  Accuride Corporation issued 7,964,238 shares of common stock in exchange for the assets of TTI.  The transaction was accounted for using the purchase method of accounting in accordance with SFAS No. 141, Business Combinations, and accordingly, the operating results of TTI have been included with those of the Company subsequent to January 31, 2005.  The following unaudited pro forma information presents results as if the acquisition had occurred on January 1, 2005 and includes the interest savings resulting from the issuance of new debt:

8

	For the Six Months Ended June 30, 2005 Pro Forma
Net sales	$	669,761
Net income	$	18,369
Earnings per share:
Weighted average shares outstanding - basic	26,612
Pro forma net income —basic	$	0.69
Weighted average shares outstanding - diluted	27,354
Pro forma net income —diluted	$	0.67

The unaudited pro forma information presented above for the six months ended June 30, 2005 has been provided for comparative purposes only and does not purport to reflect the actual results that would have been reported had the TTI acquisition been consummated at the beginning of period presented. Additionally, such pro forma financial information does not purport to represent results that may occur in the future.

Note 3 — Inventories

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market.  We review inventory on hand and write down excess and obsolete inventory based on our assessment of future demand and historical experience.  The components of inventory on a FIFO basis are as follows:

	December 31, 2005		June 30, 2006
Raw materials	$	34,213	$	36,561
Work in process	36,279		38,893
Finished manufactured goods	48,404		37,584
Total inventories, net	$	118,896	$	113,038

Note 4 — Stock Split

In April 2005, we effected a 591-for-one stock split and increased the authorized common stock to 100 million shares.  The effect of this stock split was to transfer $147, representing the par value of additional shares issued, from additional paid-in capital to common stock.  All numbers of common shares and per share data in the accompanying consolidated financial statements and related notes have been retroactively adjusted to give effect to the stock split.

Note 5 — Initial Public Offering

On April 26, 2005, we completed an initial public offering of our common stock and Accuride Corporation’s common stock commenced trading on the New York Stock Exchange.  Net proceeds from the initial public offering were $89.6 million.  The proceeds were used to repay a portion of the Term B Loan facility.

Note 6 —Intangible Assets and Excess of Purchase Price Over Net Assets Acquired, Net

SFAS No. 141, Business Combinations, and SFAS No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets, have been applied to the TTI transaction (See Note 2).  Accordingly, the tangible and identifiable intangible assets and liabilities were adjusted to fair values with the remainder of the purchase price recorded as goodwill.  Additionally, goodwill and indefinite lived intangibles assets (trade names) are not amortized but are reviewed for impairment at least annually or more frequently if impairment indicators arise.  The summary of goodwill and other intangible assets is as follows:

9

		As of December 31, 2005						As of June 30, 2006
	Weighted Average Useful Lives	Gross Amount		Accumulated Amortization		Carrying Amount		Gross Amount		Accumulated Amortization		Carrying Amount
Goodwill	—	$	395,986	—		$	395,986	$	395,986	—		$	395,986
Other Intangible Assets:
Non-compete Agreements	3.0	$	2,379	$	204	$	2,174	$	2,379	$	603	$	1,775
Trade Names	—	38,080		—		38,080		38,080		—		38,080
Technology	14.7	33,540		2,100		31,440		33,540		3,246		30,294
Customer Relationships	29.6	71,500		2,240		69,260		71,500		3,461		68,039
		$	145,499	$	4,544	$	140,954	$	145,499	$	7,310	$	138,188

We estimate that aggregate amortization expense for 2006 and 2007 will be approximately $5,500 each year with 2008 at $5,300 and 2009 and 2010 at approximately $4,700 each year.

Note 7 — Supplemental Cash Flow Disclosure

	For The Three Months Ended June 30,				For The Six Months Ended June 30,
	2005		2006		2005		2006
Interest paid	$	7,494	$	7,776	$	23,956	$	26,591
Income taxes paid (net of refunds received)	$	817	$	2,119	$	1,717	$	3,283

The acquisition of TTI, consisting of net assets of $100,327, on January 31, 2005 was a non-cash, stock transaction (See Note 2 for discussion of acquisition).

Note 8 — Stock-Based Compensation Plans

Effective January 21, 1998, we adopted the 1998 Stock Purchase and Option Plan for key employees of Accuride Corporation and subsidiaries (the “1998 Plan”). The 1998 Plan permitted the issuance of Common Stock and the grant of non-qualified stock options to purchase shares of Common Stock.  No further options will be granted under the 1998 Plan.  In connection with the initial public offering of 11,000,000 shares of our common stock in 2005, we adopted the Accuride 2005 Incentive Award Plan, which we refer to as the Incentive Plan, and the Accuride Employee Stock Purchase Plan, or ESPP.  The Incentive Plan will terminate on the earlier of ten years after it was approved by our stockholders or when terminated by the board of directors.  Up to 1,633,988 shares of our common stock are reserved for issuance upon the grant or exercise of awards under the Incentive Award Plan.  Under our ESPP, we have reserved 653,595 shares as available to issue to all of our eligible employees as determined by the Board of Directors. The ESPP has quarterly offering periods; however payroll deductions for participants are accumulated during the quarterly offering periods.   During 2005, shares were purchased at a price per share that was equal to 85% of the fair market value per share on the first day of the offering period or, if lower, 85% of the fair market value per share on the purchase date.  Effective January 1, 2006, the ESPP was revised so that shares are purchased at a price per share equal to 95% of the fair market value per share on the purchase dates.  During the three months ended June 30, 2006, 20,186 shares were purchased under the ESPP.  Payroll amounts were withheld during that same period to purchase 14,863 shares in July 2006.  We generally issue new shares to satisfy issuances of shares under our stock-based compensation plans.

In determining the estimated fair value of our stock options as of the grant date, we used the Black-Scholes option-pricing model with the assumptions illustrated in the table below.  There were 64,000 and 132,970 shares issued in the three and six months ended June 30, 2006, respectively.

	For the Six Months Ended June 30, 2006
Expected Dividend Yield	0.0		%
Expected Volatility in Stock Price	43.6		%
Risk-Free Interest Rate	5.0		%
Expected Life of Stock Awards	7.0 years
Weighted-Average Fair Value at Grant Date	$	6.08

In the three and six months ended June 30, 2006, $0.6 million and $0.7 million of pre-tax compensation expense was recognized, respectively.  The total income tax benefit recognized for stock-based compensation in the statements of income for the three and six months ended June 30, 2006 was immaterial.  As of June 30, 2006, there was approximately $1.9 million of unrecognized compensation expense related to performance and service options that will be recognized over a weighted-average period of 2.5 years.  There were 95,920 performance options and 95,920 service options that vested in the six months ended June 30, 2006.  If the new provisions of SFAS No. 123(R) had been in effect for the three and six months ended June 30, 2005, there would have been an immaterial difference in compensation expense.

Performance Options — We award performance options to officers and other key employees under the 2005 Plan.  Under these awards, a number of shares will be granted to each participant based upon the attainment of the applicable targets established under our incentive compensation plan approved by the Compensation Committee.  Certain outstanding performance options are applicable to performance measurement periods in future fiscal years.  Performance options generally vest over four years and have 10-year contractual terms.  A summary of performance option activity under the 2005 Incentive Award Plan during the six months ended June 30, 2006 is presented below:

	Number of Options		Weighted Average Exercise Price		Weighted-Average Remaining Contractual Term	Aggregate Intrinsic Value
Performance options outstanding at December 31, 2005	417,778		$	9.40
Granted	—		—
Exercised	(4,432	)	$	10.00		$	10
Forfeited	(23,641	)	$	9.00
Performance options outstanding at June 30, 2006	389,705		$	9.43	8.9 years	$	1,234
Performance options exercisable at June 30, 2006	91,488		9.00		8.8 years	$	317

Service Options - We grant options to officers, other key employees, and members of our Board of Directors under the 2005 Plan as consideration for service.  Options granted generally vest annually over a four year period.  Service options generally vest over four years and have 10-year contractual terms.  A summary of service option activity under the 2005 Incentive Award Plan during the six months ended June 30, 2006 is presented below:

	Number of Options		Weighted Average Exercise Price		Weighted-Average Remaining Contractual Term	Aggregate Intrinsic Value
Service options outstanding at December 31, 2005	1,653,505		$	5.51
Granted	132,970		$	11.39
Exercised	(258,492	)	$	3.93		$	1,941
Forfeited	(26,596	)	$	8.33
Service options outstanding at June 30, 2006	1,501,388		$	6.25	6.1 years	$	9,354
Service options exercisable at June 30, 2006	971,182		$	4.74	5.5 years	$	7,509

We realized a tax benefit in additional-paid-in-capital of $312 and $714 during the three and six months ended June 30, 2006, respectively, for the stock options exercised during that period.

Note 9 — Property, Plant and Equipment

We sold our Columbia, Tennessee property in the three months ended June 30, 2006 for net proceeds of $1.9 million, resulting in a loss of $1.4 million.  Also in the three months ended June 30, 2006, we recorded a $2.3 million impairment of tooling assets in our Piedmont, Alabama facility as a result of a discontinuation of a certain product line.  Due to press breakdowns in our Erie, Pennsylvania facility, we recorded an insurance receivable of $3.3 million in the three months ended June 30, 2006.

Note 10 — Comprehensive income

Comprehensive income for the three and six months ended June 30 is summarized as follows:

Note 13 — Contingencies

We are from time to time involved in various legal proceedings of a character normally incident to our business. We do not believe that the outcome of these proceedings will have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial condition or results of our operations.

As of June 30, 2006, we had an environmental reserve of approximately $2.7 million, related primarily to TTI’s foundry operations. This reserve is based on current cost estimates and does not reduce estimated expenditures to net present value, but does take into account the benefit of a contractual indemnity given to us by a prior owner of our wheel-end subsidiary. We cannot assure you, however, that the indemnitor will fulfill its obligations, and the failure to do so could result in future costs that may be material. Any cash expenditures required by us or our subsidiaries to comply with applicable environmental laws and/or to pay for any remediation efforts will not be reduced or otherwise affected by the existence of the environmental reserve. We currently anticipate spending approximately $0.2 million per year in 2006 through 2010 for monitoring the various environmental sites associated with the environmental reserve, including attorney and consultant costs for strategic planning and negotiations with regulators and other potentially responsible parties, and payment of remedial investigation costs.  Based on all of the information presently available to us, we believe that our environmental reserves will be adequate to cover the future costs related to the sites associated with the environmental reserves, and that any additional costs will not have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.  However, the discovery of additional sites, the modification of existing or the promulgation of new laws or regulations, more vigorous enforcement by regulators, the imposition of joint and several liability under CERCLA or analogous state laws, or other unanticipated events could also result in such a material adverse effect.

The final Iron and Steel Foundry National Emission Standard for Hazardous Air Pollutants, or NESHAP, was developed pursuant to Section 112(d) of the Clean Air Act and requires all major sources of hazardous air pollutants to install controls representative of maximum achievable control technology. We are evaluating the applicability of the Iron and Steel Foundry NESHAP to our foundry operations. If applicable, compliance with the Iron and Steel Foundry NESHAP may result in future significant capital costs, which we currently expect to be approximately $5 million in total during the period 2006 through 2007.

In addition, pursuant to the Recapitalization of the Company on January 21, 1998, we were indemnified by Phelps Dodge Corporation with respect to certain environmental liabilities at our Henderson and London facilities, subject to certain limitations.  At the Erie, Pennsylvania facility, we have obtained an environmental insurance policy to provide coverage with respect to certain environmental liabilities.  Management does not believe that the outcome of any environmental proceedings will have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial condition or results of operations.

Item 2.Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.

The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes included in Item 1 of Part I of this report on Form 10-Q.  Except for the historical information contained herein, this report on Form 10-Q contains forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties.  Our actual results may differ materially from those indicated by such forward-looking statements.

Overview

The commercial vehicle market continued to gain strength during the first six months of 2006.  Freight growth, improved fleet profitability, aging equipment, high equipment utilization, and economic strength continue to drive demand for new vehicles.  Current industry forecasts by analysts, including America’s Commercial Transportation (“ACT”) Publications, predict that the North American commercial vehicle industry will continue to be strong throughout 2006.

On January 31, 2005, pursuant to the terms of an agreement and plan of merger, one of our wholly-owned subsidiaries was merged with and into TTI, resulting in TTI becoming a wholly-owned subsidiary of Accuride.

In connection with the TTI merger, we entered into a Fourth Amended and Restated Credit Agreement consisting of (1) a new term credit facility in an aggregate principal amount of $550.0 million that will mature on January 31, 2012 and (2) a revolving credit facility in an aggregate principal amount of $125.0 million that will terminate on January 31, 2010.  In addition, we issued $275.0 million aggregate principal amount of 8 ½% senior subordinated notes due in 2015.

On April 26, 2005, our common stock commenced trading on the New York Stock Exchange.  We used net proceeds of approximately $89.6 million from the sale of 11.0 million shares of common stock in our initial public offering to repay a portion of our Term Loan B Facility.  For the twelve months of 2005, we reduced our senior debt by $155.4 million, including $65.8 million of cash from operations and the $89.6 million of proceeds from the IPO.  For the six months ended June 30, 2006, we reduced our senior debt by $30.0 million.

Net sales for the three months ended June 30, 2006 were $361.7 million compared to net sales of $342.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2005.  Press breakdowns at our Erie, Pennsylvania facility impacted sales and operating income in the three months ended June 30, 2006.  Those presses resumed production in early July.

Our operating challenges are to meet these higher levels of production while improving our internal productivity, continue the integration of the TTI companies, and mitigate the margin pressure from rising material costs.  Furthermore, we may be required to increase our level of outsourced production for some of our products due to production constraints, and such outsourcing may result in lower margins.

The Company consists of seven operating segments that design, manufacture and distribute components for trucks, trailers, and other vehicles. These operating segments are aggregated into a single reportable segment as they have similar economic characteristics, products and production processes, class of customer and distribution methods. We believe this segmentation is appropriate based upon management’s operating decisions and performance assessment.

Pro Forma Results of Operations

Pro Forma Six Months Ended June 30, 2005 Compared to Actual Six Months Ended June 30, 2006

The following unaudited pro forma information presents results as if our acquisition of TTI had occurred at the beginning of the six months ended June 30, 2005:

(Amounts in thousands, except per share data)	June 30, 2005 (Pro Forma) (1)					June 30, 2006 (Actual)
Net sales	$	669,761		100.0	%	$	721,658		100.0	%

Basic income per share	$	0.69				$	1.13
Average weighted shares outstanding - diluted	27,354					34,524
Diluted income per share	$	0.67				$	1.11

(1)Certain amounts in the 2005 pro forma results of operations have been reclassified to conform to the 2006 presentation. Included in these reclassifications are certain costs totaling $9.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2005 that have been reclassified from selling, general, and administrative expenses to cost of goods sold. These reclassifications do not have any impact on pro forma net income and are immaterial to the 2005 pro forma results of operations.

Net Sales.  Actual net sales for the six months ended June 30, 2006 were $721.7 million compared to pro forma net sales of $669.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2005.  This increase is primarily a result of the continuing robust cycle in the commercial vehicle industry.

Gross Profit.  Actual gross profit increased $0.7 million to $109.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2006 from $108.4 million (pro forma) for the six months ended June 30, 2005.  Impacting the 2006 gross profit is a loss of $1.4 million from a sale of property in Columbia, Tennessee and an impairment of tooling assets in our Piedmont, Alabama facility of $2.3 million.  Other impacts in 2006 include approximately $15.0 million of unrecovered rising raw material costs, mostly aluminum, and an unfavorable impact due to the breakdown of presses at our Erie, Pennsylvania facility.

Operating Expenses.  Actual operating expenses decreased $2.1 million to $26.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2006 from $28.9 million (pro forma) for the six months ended June 30, 2005 mainly due to reduced expenses as a result of integration of the TTI companies.  Included in the six months ended June 30, 2006 is stock-based compensation expense of $0.7 million due to the adoption of FAS No. 123(R) on January 1, 2006.

Interest (Expense).  Interest expense decreased $25.8 million to $23.9 million in the current period from $49.7 million (pro forma) for the same period last year.  The decrease in expense is attributable to $3.3 million of favorable unrealized gains from our interest rate swap agreements, reductions of debt and the absence of $20.0 million of costs incurred in 2005 associated with refinancing our senior debt and senior-subordinated notes.

Net Income.  Actual net income of $38.4 million increased $20.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2006 compared to net income of $18.4 million (pro forma) for the six months ended June 30, 2005 due to higher income from operations and the absence of costs incurred in 2005 associated with the refinancing of our senior debt and senior-subordinated notes.

(1)Certain amounts in the 2005 consolidated statements of income have been reclassified to conform to the 2006 presentation. Included in these reclassifications are certain costs totaling $4.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2005 that have been reclassified from selling, general, and administrative expenses to cost of goods sold. These reclassifications do not have any impact on 2005 net income and are immaterial to the consolidated statements of income.

Net Sales.  Net sales for the three months ended June 30, 2006 were $361.7 million, which was an increase of 5.5%, compared to net sales of $342.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2005.  The increase in net sales is primarily a result of the continuing robust cycle in the commercial vehicle industry.

Gross Profit.  Gross profit decreased $6.9 million to $53.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2006 from $60.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2005.  Impacting the 2006 gross profit is a loss of $1.4 million from a sale of property in Columbia, Tennessee and an impairment of tooling assets in our Piedmont, Alabama facility of $2.3 million.  Other impacts in 2006 include approximately $7.6 million of unrecovered rising raw material costs, mostly aluminum, and an unfavorable impact due to the breakdown of presses at our Erie, Pennsylvania facility.

Operating Expenses.  Operating expenses decreased $1.0 million to $13.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2006 from $14.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2005.  Stock-based compensation expense of $0.6 million was recorded in the current quarter due to the adoption of FAS No. 123(R) on January 1, 2006.

Interest (Expense).  Interest expense decreased $4.5 million to $12.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2006 from $16.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2005.  The decrease in expense is attributable to $3.5 million of favorable unrealized gains from our interest rate swap agreements, reductions in debt and the absence of $0.6 million of costs incurred in 2005 associated with refinancing of our senior debt and subordinated notes.

Net Income.  We had net income of $18.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2006 compared to net income of $17.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2005.

Six Months Ended June 30, 2005 Compared to the Six Months Ended June 30, 2006

The following table sets forth certain income statement information of Accuride for the six months ended June 30, 2005 and June 30, 2006:

(Amounts in thousands, except per share data)	June 30, 2005 (1)					June 30, 2006

(1)Certain amounts in the 2005 consolidated statements of income have been reclassified to conform to the 2006 presentation. Included in these reclassifications are certain costs totaling $8.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2005 that have been reclassified from selling, general, and administrative expenses to cost of goods sold. These reclassifications do not have any impact on 2005 net income and are immaterial to the consolidated statements of income.

Net Sales.  Net sales for the six months ended June 30, 2006 were $721.7 million, which was an increase of 17.3%, compared to net sales of $615.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2005.  Approximately $57.3 million of the increase in net sales is the result of our acquisition of TTI on January 31, 2005.  The remainder of the increase in net sales is primarily a result of the continuing robust cycle in the commercial vehicle industry.

Gross Profit.  Gross profit increased $6.2 million to $109.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2006 from $102.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2005.  The increase is primarily attributable to the acquisition of TTI, which accounted for $7.1 million of the increase, and the increase in customer demand resulting in higher net sales.  Impacting the 2006 gross profit is a loss of $1.4 million from a sale of property in Columbia, Tennessee and an impairment of tooling assets in our Piedmont, Alabama facility of $2.3 million.  Other impacts in 2006 include approximately $15.0 million of unrecovered rising raw material costs, mostly aluminum, and an unfavorable impact due to the breakdown of presses at our Erie, Pennsylvania facility.

Operating Expenses.  Operating expenses increased $0.7 million to $26.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2006 from $26.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2005.  The increase is attributed to the $0.7 million compensation expense recorded in the current year due to the adoption of FAS No. 123(R) on January 1, 2006.

Interest (Expense).  Interest expense decreased $24.8 million to $23.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2006 from $48.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2005.  The decrease in expense is attributable to $3.3 million of favorable unrealized gains from our interest rate swap agreements, reductions of debt and the absence of $20.0 million of costs incurred in 2005 associated with refinancing of our senior debt and subordinated notes.

Net Income.  We had net income of $38.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2006 compared to net income of $17.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2005.  The majority of this increase was due to higher income from operations and the absence of costs incurred in 2005 associated with refinancing our senior debt and subordinated notes.

21

Changes in Financial Condition

At June 30, 2006, we had total assets of $1,252.8 million, as compared to $1,220.4 million at December 31, 2005.  The $32.4 million, or 2.7%, increase in total assets during the six months ended June 30, 2006 primarily resulted from an increase in working capital precipitated by the seasonally stronger sales in the second quarter versus the final quarter of 2005.

Working capital, defined as current assets (excluding cash) less current liabilities, increased $26.7 million from December 31, 2005 to June 30, 2006.  Significant changes in working capital from December 31, 2005 included

·an increase in net customer receivables of $39.6 million due to seasonality of higher customer sales in the second quarter of 2006 compared to the fourth quarter of 2005;

·an increase in accounts payable of $7.2 million due to seasonal higher volume; and

·an increase in income taxes payable of $12.5 million due to increased income before tax.

Capital Resources and Liquidity

Our primary sources of liquidity during the six months ended June 30, 2006 were cash reserves and our $125 million revolving credit facility, as discussed below, of which $5 million is currently drawn.  Primary uses of cash were working capital needs and capital expenditures.

Operating Activities

Net cash provided by operating activities during the first six months of 2006 amounted to $46.8 million compared to $4.2 million for the comparable period in 2005, an increase of $42.6 million. Included in 2005 is approximately $13.7 million of cash fees expensed associated with refinancing our senior debt and subordinated notes.

Investing Activities

Net cash used in investing activities totaled $13.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2006 compared to a use of $8.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2005, which was a net decrease of cash of $5.0 million due principally to higher capital expenditures partially reduced by $1.9 million of net proceeds from the sale of property in Columbia, Tennessee.

Our most significant cash outlays for investing activities are the purchases of property, plant and equipment.  Our capital expenditures in 2005 were $40.0 million.  We expect our capital expenditures to also total approximately $40 million in 2006. We anticipate these capital expenditures will fund (1) investments in productivity and low cost manufacturing improvements of approximately $14 million, (2) equipment and facility maintenance of approximately $13 million, (3) capacity expansion of approximately $10 million, and (4) environmental improvements of $3 million. Cash generated from operations and existing cash reserves will fund these expenditures.

Financing Activities

Net cash used in financing activities totaled $28.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2006 compared to net cash used in financing activities of $17.1 million for the comparable period in 2005, an increase of $11.4 million.  Included in the 2005 financing activities were $9.9 million of deferred financing fees related to the refinancing of our senior debt and subordinated notes.

Bank Borrowing.   In connection with the TTI merger, we entered into a Fourth Amended and Restated Credit Agreement consisting of (1) a new term credit facility (the Term B Loan Facility) in an aggregate principal amount of $550.0 million that will mature on January 31, 2012 and (2) a revolving credit facility (the “New Revolver”) in an aggregate principal amount of $125.0 million (comprised of a new $95.0 million U.S. revolving credit facility and the continuation of a $30.0 million Canadian revolving credit facility) that will terminate on January 31, 2010. As of

22

June 30, 2006, $384.6 million was outstanding under the Term B Loan Facility and $5.0 million was outstanding under the New Revolver.  The Term B Loan Facility requires quarterly amortization payments of $1.4 million that commenced on March 31, 2005, with the balance paid on the maturity date for the Term B Loan Facility. As of June 30, 2006, the regularly scheduled payments due through December 31, 2011 were prepaid without penalty.  The interest rates per annum applicable to loans under our new senior credit facilities are, at the option of the Company or Accuride Canada Inc., as applicable, a base rate or Eurodollar rate plus, in each case, an applicable margin which is subject to adjustment based on our leverage ratio. The base rate is a fluctuating interest rate equal to the highest of (a) the base rate reported by Citibank, N.A. (or, with respect to the Canadian revolving credit facility, the reference rate of interest established or quoted by Citibank Canada for determining interest rates on U.S. dollar denominated commercial loans made by Citibank Canada in Canada), (b) a reserve adjusted three-week moving average of offering rates for three-month certificates of deposit plus one-half of one percent (0.5%) and (c) the federal funds effective rate plus one-half of one percent (0.5%). The obligations under our new senior credit facilities are guaranteed by all of our domestic subsidiaries. The loans under the new senior credit facilities are secured by, among other things, a lien on substantially all of our U.S. properties and assets and of our domestic subsidiaries and a pledge of 65% of the stock of our foreign subsidiaries. The loans under the Canadian revolving facility are also secured by substantially all of the properties and assets of Accuride Canada Inc.

Initial Public Offering.  On April 26, 2005, we completed our initial public offering (“IPO”).  Net proceeds from the IPO were $89.6 million.  We used all of the net proceeds from the IPO as well as other available cash as part of our repayment in April 2005 of $93.0 million of the Term B Loan Facility. This prepayment was not subject to a prepayment penalty.

Restrictive Debt Covenants.  Our new senior credit facilities contain numerous financial and operating covenants that limit the discretion of management with respect to certain business matters. These covenants place significant restrictions on, among other things, our ability to incur additional debt, to pay dividends, to create liens, to make certain payments and investments and to sell or otherwise dispose of assets and merge or consolidate with other entities. We are also required to meet certain financial ratios and tests, including a leverage ratio, an interest coverage ratio and a fixed charge coverage ratio. Failure to comply with the obligations contained in the credit documents could result in an event of default, and possibly the acceleration of the related debt and the acceleration of debt under other instruments evidencing indebtedness that may contain cross-acceleration or cross-default provisions.  As of June 30, 2006, and currently, we are in compliance with our financial covenants and ratios.

Senior Subordinated Notes.   In connection with the TTI merger, we issued $275.0 million aggregate principal amount of 81¤2% senior subordinated notes due 2015 in a private placement transaction. Interest on the senior subordinated notes is payable on February 1 and August 1 of each year, beginning on August 1, 2005. The notes mature on February 1, 2015 and may be redeemed, at our option, in whole or in part, at any time on or before February 1, 2010 at a price equal to 100% of the principal amount, plus an applicable make-whole premium, and accrued and unpaid interest and special interest if any, to the date of redemption, and on or after February 1, 2010 at certain specified redemption prices. In addition, on or before February 1, 2008, we may redeem up to 40% of the aggregate principal amount of the senior subordinated notes issued under the indenture with the proceeds of certain equity financings. The new senior subordinated notes are general unsecured obligations (1) subordinated in right of payment to all of our and the guarantors’ existing and future senior indebtedness, including any borrowings under our new senior credit facilities; (2) equal in right of payment with any of our and the guarantors’ existing and future senior subordinated indebtedness; (3) senior in right of payment to all of our and the guarantors’ existing and future subordinated indebtedness and (4) structurally subordinated to all obligations of our subsidiaries that do not guarantee the outstanding notes.  On June 15, 2005, we completed an exchange offer of these senior subordinated notes for substantially identical notes registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. As of June 30, 2006 the aggregate principal amount of Notes outstanding was $275.0 million.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements.  We do not currently have any off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a material current or future effect on our financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources.  From time to time we may enter into operating leases, letters of credit, or take-or-pay obligations related to the purchase of certain raw materials that would not be reflected in our balance sheet.

23

We believe that cash from operations, existing cash reserves, and availability under the New Revolver will provide adequate funds for our working capital needs, planned capital expenditures and debt service obligations for the next twelve months.  Our ability to fund working capital needs, planned capital expenditures, scheduled debt payments, and to comply with all of the financial covenants under our credit agreement, depends on our future operating performance and cash flow, which in turn, are subject to prevailing economic conditions and to financial, business and other factors, some of which are beyond our control.

Accounting Changes.  SFAS No. 123 (revised 2004)— In December 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 123(R), Share-Based Payment.  SFAS No. 123(R) is a revision of SFAS No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation, and supersedes APB Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees, and our related implementation guidance.  The statement focuses primarily on accounting for transactions in which an entity obtains employee services in share-based payment transactions.  SFAS No. 123(R) requires a public entity to measure the cost of employee services received in exchange for an award of equity instruments based on the grant-date fair value of the award.  That cost is to be recognized over the period during which an employee is required to provide service in exchange for the award.  Accuride adopted SFAS No. 123(R) as of January 1, 2006 and recorded $0.6 million and $0.7 million of pre-tax compensation expense in the three and six months ended June 30, 2006, respectively.

SFAS No. 151—In November 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 151, Inventory Costs, an amendment of ARB No. 43, Chapter 4. The amendments made by SFAS No. 151 clarify that abnormal amounts of idle facility expense, freight, handling costs, and wasted materials (spoilage) should be recognized as current-period charges and requires the allocation of fixed production overheads to inventory based on the normal capacity of the production facilities. Accuride adopted SFAS No. 151 as of January 1, 2006.  There was no impact on our 2006 consolidated financial statements.

SFAS No. 153—In December 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 153, Exchanges of Nonmonetary Assets, an amendment of APB Opinion No. 29, Accounting for Nonmonetary Transactions. The amendments made by SFAS No. 153 are based on the principle that exchanges of nonmonetary assets should be measured based on the fair value of the assets exchanged. Further, the amendments eliminate the narrow exception for nonmonetary exchanges of similar productive assets and replace it with a broader exception for exchanges of nonmonetary assets that do not have commercial substance. Accuride adopted SFAS No. 153 as of January 1, 2006.  There was no impact on our 2006 consolidated financial statements.

Recent Accounting Pronouncement — In July 2006, the FASB issued Interpretation (FIN) No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes, to address the noncomparability in reporting tax assets and liabilities resulting from a lack of specific guidance in SFAS No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes, on the uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an enterprise’s financial statements.  Specifically, FIN No. 48 prescribes (a) a consistent recognition threshold and (b) a measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return, and provides related guidance on derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure, and transition. FIN No. 48 will apply to fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006.  Management is currently evaluating the impact of FIN No. 48 on the consolidated financial statements.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates.  We have made a number of estimates and assumptions relating to the reporting of results of operations and financial position in the preparation of our financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.  Actual results could differ significantly from those estimates under different assumptions and conditions.  We included in our Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2005 a discussion of our most critical accounting policies, which are those that have a material impact on our financial condition or operating performance and require management’s most difficult, subjective and complex judgments, often as a result of the need to make estimates about the effect of matters that are inherently uncertain.

24

Factors Affecting Future Results

In this report, we have made various statements regarding current expectations or forecasts of future events, which speak only as of the date the statements, are made.  These statements are “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of that term in Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.  Forward-looking statements are also made from time-to-time in press releases and in oral statements made by the officers of Accuride.  Forward-looking statements are identified by the words “estimate,” “project,” “anticipate,” “will continue,” “will likely result,” “expect,” “intend,” “believe,” “plan,” “predict” and similar expressions.  Forward looking statements also include, but are not limited to, statements regarding commercial vehicle market recovery, projections of revenue, income, loss, or working capital, capital expenditure levels, ability to mitigate rising raw material costs through increases in selling prices, plans for future operations, financing needs, the ultimate outcome and impact of any litigation against Accuride, the sufficiency of our capital resources and plans and assumptions relating to the foregoing.

Such forward-looking statements are based on assumptions and estimates, which although believed to be reasonable, may turn out to be incorrect.  Therefore, undue reliance should not be placed upon these estimates and statements.  We cannot assure that any of these statements, estimates, or beliefs will be realized and actual results may differ from those contemplated in these “forward-looking statements.”  We undertake no obligation to publicly update any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events, or otherwise.  You are advised to consult further disclosures we may make on related subjects in our filings with the SEC.  In addition to other factors discussed in this report, some of the important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those discussed in the forward-looking statements include the following:

·we use a substantial amount of raw steel and aluminum and are vulnerable to industry shortages, significant price increases, and surcharges, some of which we may not be able to pass through to our customers;

·our significant indebtedness may have important consequences, including, but not limited to, impairment of our ability to obtain additional financing, reduction of funds available for operations and business opportunities or limitations on our ability to dispose of assets;

·the loss of a major customer could have a material adverse effect on our business;

·the demands of original equipment manufacturers for price reductions may adversely affect profitability;

·our credit documents contain significant financial and operating covenants that limit the discretion of management with respect to certain business matters.  We must also meet certain financial ratios and tests as described above.  Failure to comply with the obligations contained in the debt agreements could result in an event of default, and possibly the acceleration of the related debt and the acceleration of debt under other instruments evidencing debt that may contain cross-acceleration or cross-default provisions;

·significant volatility in the foreign currency markets could have an adverse effect on us;

·we may be unable to continue to integrate the TTI companies and other acquired companies successfully;

·a labor strike may disrupt our supply to our customer base;

·our ability to service our indebtedness is dependent upon operating cash flow;

·an interruption of performance of our machinery and equipment could have an adverse effect on us;

·an interruption in supply of steel or aluminum could reduce our ability to obtain favorable sourcing of such raw materials;

·we may encounter increased competition in the future from existing competitors or new competitors;

·we may be subject to liability under certain environmental laws and the cost of compliance with these regulations could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and may adversely affect our ability to sell or rent such property or to borrow using such property as collateral;

·the interests of our principal stockholder may conflict with the interests of the holders of our securities; and

·our success depends largely upon the abilities and experience of certain key management personnel.  The loss of the services of one or more of these key personnel could have a negative impact on our business.

For further information, refer to the business description and additional risk factors sections included in our Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2005, as filed with the SEC.

Item 3.Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

In the normal course of doing business, we are exposed to the risks associated with changes in foreign exchange rates, raw material/commodity prices, and interest rates.  We use derivative instruments to manage these exposures. The objectives for holding derivatives are to minimize the risks using the most effective methods to eliminate or reduce the impacts of these exposures.

Foreign Currency Risk
Certain forecasted transactions, assets, and liabilities are exposed to foreign currency risk.  We monitor our foreign currency exposures to maximize the overall effectiveness of our foreign currency derivatives. The principal currency of exposure is the Canadian dollar. Foreign exchange forward contracts and option contracts, designated as hedging instruments under SFAS No. 133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities, may be used to offset the impact of the variability in exchange rates on our operations, cash flows, assets and liabilities. At June 30, 2006, we had no open foreign exchange forward contracts or option contracts.

Raw Material/Commodity Price Risk

We rely upon the supply of certain raw materials and commodities in our production processes and have entered into long-term supply contracts for our steel and aluminum requirements.  The exposures associated with these commitments are primarily managed through the terms of the sales, supply, and procurement contracts.  From time to time, we use commodity price swaps and futures contracts to manage the variability in certain commodity prices. Commodity price swaps and futures contracts are used to offset the impact of the variability in certain commodity prices on our operations and cash flows.  At June 30, 2006, we had no material commodity price swaps and futures contracts.

Interest Rate Risk
We use long-term debt as a primary source of capital in our business.  The following table presents the principal cash repayments and related weighted average interest rates by maturity date for our long-term fixed-rate debt and other types of long-term debt at June 30, 2006:

(Dollars in thousands)	2006	2007	2008	2009	2010			Thereafter			Total			Fair Value
Long-term Debt:
Fixed	—	—	—	—	—			$	275,000		$	275,000		$	265,375
Average Rate	—	—	—	—	—			8.50		%	8.50		%
Variable	—	—	—	—	$	5,000		$	387,725		$	392,725		$	391,994
Average Rate	—	—	—	—	7.31		%	7.29		%	7.29		%

We have used interest rate swaps to alter interest rate exposure between fixed and variable rates on a portion of our long-term debt.  As of June 30, 2006, interest rate swaps of $250.0 million were outstanding.  Under the terms of the interest rate swaps, we agreed with the counterparty to exchange, at specified intervals, the difference between 3.55% from March 2005 through March 2006, 4.24% from March 2006 through March 2007, and 4.43% from March 2007 through March 2008, and the variable rate interest amounts calculated by reference to the notional principal amount.  The interest rate swaps commenced in February 2005 and mature in March 2008.

26

Item 4.Controls and Procedures

We maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our Exchange Act reports is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including its Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.  In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, management recognized that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives, and management is required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures.

As required by SEC Rule 13a-15(b), we carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of the Company’s management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report.  Based on the foregoing, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective at the reasonable assurance level.

There has been no change in our internal controls over financial reporting during our most recent quarter that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal controls over financial reporting.
