1.	ACCOUNTING POLICIES

In the opinion of Titan International, Inc. ("Titan" or the "Company"), the accompanying unaudited consolidated condensed financial statements contain all adjustments, which are normal and recurring in nature and necessary for a fair statement of the Company's financial position as of June 30, 2012, and the results of operations and cash flows for the three and six months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011.

Accounting policies have continued without significant change and are described in the Description of Business and Significant Accounting Policies contained in the Company's 2011 Annual Report on Form 10-K. These interim financial statements have been prepared pursuant to the Securities and Exchange Commission's rules for Form 10-Q's and, therefore, certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in annual financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America have been condensed or omitted. These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company's 2011 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Sales

Sales and revenues are presented net of sales taxes and other related taxes.

Fair value of financial instruments

The Company records all financial instruments, including cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, notes receivable, accounts payable, other accruals and notes payable at cost, which approximates fair value. Investments in marketable equity securities are recorded at fair value. The 7.875% senior secured notes due 2017 ("senior secured notes") and 5.625% convertible senior subordinated notes due 2017 ("convertible notes") are carried at cost of $200.0 million and $112.9 million at June 30, 2012, respectively. The fair value of these notes at June 30, 2012, as obtained through independent pricing sources, was approximately $208.0 million for the senior secured notes and approximately $295.4 million for the convertible notes. The increase in the fair value of the convertible notes is due primarily to the increased value of the underlying common stock.

Cash dividends

The Company declared cash dividends of $.005 and $.010 per share of common stock for each of the three and six months ended June 30, 2012, and 2011. The second quarter 2012 cash dividend of $.005 per share of common stock was paid July 16, 2012, to stockholders of record on June 29, 2012.

Interest paid

Titan paid $0.3 million and $0.4 million for interest for the quarters ended June 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively, and $11.9 million and $13.4 million for interest for the six months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively.

Income taxes paid

Titan paid $37.0 million and $10.5 million for income taxes for the quarters ended June 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively, and $46.9 million and $10.6 million for income taxes for the six months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively.

Use of estimates

The policies utilized by the Company in the preparation of the financial statements conform to accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and require management to make estimates, assumptions and judgments that affect the reported amount of assets and liabilities, and disclosure 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 amounts could differ from these estimates and assumptions.

Reclassification

Certain amounts from prior years have been reclassified to conform to the current year's presentation.

Subsequent Events

The Company has evaluated subsequent events and transactions for potential recognition or disclosure in the financial statements through the date of issuance of the financial statements.

2. ACQUISITIONS

Acquisition of Goodyear's Latin American Farm Tire Business

On April 1, 2011, Titan closed on the acquisition of The Goodyear Tire & Rubber Company's ("Goodyear") Latin American farm tire business for approximately $98.6 million U.S. dollars. The transaction includes Goodyear's Sao Paulo, Brazil manufacturing plant, property, equipment; inventories; a licensing agreement that allows Titan to sell Goodyear-brand farm tires in Latin America for seven years; and extends the North American licensing agreement for seven years.

The purchase price was allocated to the assets acquired and the liabilities assumed based on their fair values. Inventory was valued using the comparative sales method. Real and personal property was valued at fair value. The excess of the purchase price of the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed was reflected as goodwill. The goodwill was allocated to the agricultural segment.

The purchase price allocation of the Latin American farm tire business consisted of the following (in thousands):



Cash	$	1,018
Inventories	14,562
Deferred income taxes - current asset	2,948
Prepaid & other current assets	4,929
Property, plant & equipment	108,905
Goodwill	14,484
Other assets	39,263
Other current liabilities	(21,127		)
Deferred income taxes - noncurrent liability	(25,521		)
Other noncurrent liabilities	(40,823		)
Net assets acquired	$	98,638

The purchase price allocation has changed from that reported in the Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2011. In the first quarter of 2012, after filing the Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2011, Titan became aware of information related to the classification of the Latin American business for US tax purposes. In the second quarter of 2012, Titan became aware of additional information related to this acquisition. As a result of this information, which was available at the time of acquisition, Titan concluded that there were errors in the original accounting for the acquisition. Titan has concluded that the impact of these errors is immaterial to the consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2011 and for the three and six months ended June 30, 2012, and therefore the correction of these errors were recorded as of January 1, 2012. The correction of these errors impacted the following areas: an increase in current deferred income tax asset of $2.9 million, a decrease in goodwill of $8.4 million, and a decrease in noncurrent deferred income tax liability of $5.5 million. As a result of currency exchange rate differences, the January 1, 2012 recorded decrease in goodwill was $7.3 million, with a $1.1 million offset in currency translation adjustment.

Pro forma financial information

The following unaudited pro forma financial information gives effect to the acquisition of Goodyear's Latin American farm tire business as if the acquisition had taken place on January 1, 2011. The pro forma financial information for the Sao Paulo, Brazil manufacturing facility was derived from The Goodyear Tire & Rubber Company's historical accounting records. These amounts have been calculated by adjusting the historical results of the Sao Paulo, Brazil facility to reflect the additional depreciation and the amortization of the prepaid royalty discount and supply agreement liability assuming the fair value adjustments had taken place.

TITAN INTERNATIONAL, INC.

Adjustment to LIFO basis	(9,554		)	(12,663		)
	$	214,858		$	190,872

At June 30, 2012, approximately 27% of the Company's inventories were valued under the last-in, first-out (LIFO) method. At December 31, 2011, approximately 30% of the Company's inventories were valued under the LIFO method. The remaining inventories were valued under the first-in, first-out (FIFO) method or average cost method. All inventories are valued at lower of cost or market. The LIFO reserve decreased primarily as a result of the composition of inventory. An overall increase in raw material relative to total inventory resulted in a greater decrease in the FIFO cost versus the LIFO cost.

10. DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

The Company uses financial derivatives to mitigate its exposure to volatility in the interest rate and foreign currency exchange rate in Brazil. The Company uses these derivate instruments to hedge exposure in the ordinary course of business and does not invest in derivative instruments for speculative purposes. In order to reduce interest rate and foreign currency risk on the BoA Term Loan, the Company entered into an interest rate swap agreement and cross currency swap transactions with Bank of America Merrill Lynch Banco Multiplo S.A. that are designed to convert the outstanding $5.0 million US Dollar based LIBOR loan to a Brazilian Real based CDI loan and convert $2.5 million of US Dollar based LIBOR working capital loans to Brazilian Real based CDI loans. The Company has not designated these agreements as hedging instruments. Changes in the fair value of the cross currency swap are recorded in other income (expense) and changes in the fair value of the interest rate swap agreement are recorded as interest expense (or gain as an offset to interest expense). For the three months ended June 30, 2012, the Company recorded $0.0 million of other income and $0.2 million of interest expense related to these derivatives. For the six months ended June 30, 2012, the Company recorded $0.1 million of other income and $0.2 million of interest expense related to these derivatives.

11. LEASE COMMITMENTS

13. ROYALTY EXPENSE

The Company has a trademark license agreement with Goodyear to manufacture and sell certain tires in North America and Latin America under the Goodyear name. The North American and Latin American farm tire royalties were prepaid for seven years as a part of the 2011 Goodyear Latin American farm tire acquisition. Royalty expenses recorded were $2.7 million and $2.4 million for the quarters ended June 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively.

The Company's April 2011 acquisition of Goodyear's farm tire business included a three year supply agreement with Goodyear for certain non-farm tire products. A liability was recorded as the supply agreement was for sales at below market prices. In May 2012, the Company and Goodyear terminated this supply agreement and entered into an agreement under which Titan will sell these products directly to third party customers and pay a royalty to Goodyear. The remaining balance of the supply agreement liability was recorded as income as the Company is no longer obligated to sell the products at below market prices.

16. INCOME TAXES

The Company recorded income tax expense of $31.0 million and $51.1 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2012, respectively, as compared to $15.0 million and $22.7 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2011. The Company's effective income tax rate was 39% and 50% for the six months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively. The Company's 2011 income tax expense and rate differs from the amount of income tax determined by applying the U.S. Federal income tax rate to pre-tax income primarily as a result of the $16.1 million noncash charge taken in connection with the Company's convertible debt. This noncash charge is not fully deductible for income tax purposes.

The Company's 2012 income tax expense and rate differs from the amount of income tax determined by applying the U.S. Federal income tax rate to pre-tax income primarily as a result of the supply agreement termination income and related income tax effects and the liability for unrecognized tax benefits recorded during the three months ended June 30, 2012.

ASC 740 provides that a tax benefit from an uncertain tax position may be recognized when it is more likely than not that the position will be sustained upon examination. The Company's unrecognized tax benefits were $3.1 million and $0.0 million as of June 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, respectively. As of June 30, 2012, $2.0 million would affect income tax expense if recognized. The Company recognizes accrued interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits as a component of income tax expense. The amount of accrued interest and penalties included in the unrecognized tax benefits at June 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011 were $0.3 million and $0.0 million, respectively. During the three months ended June 30, 2012, the increase in unrecognized tax benefits relates to potential nexus exposure in various jurisdictions where the Company has activities.

19. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

ASC 820 Fair Value Measurements establishes a three-tier fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value. These tiers are defined as:

Level 1 – Quoted prices in active markets for identical instruments.

Level 2 – Inputs other than quoted prices in active markets that are either directly or indirectly observable.

Level 3 – Unobservable inputs in which little or no market data exists, therefore requiring an entity to develop its own assumptions.

Assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis consisted of the following (amounts in thousands):



	June 30, 2012								December 31, 2011
	Total		Level 1		Level 2		Level 3		Total		Level 1		Level 2		Level 3

20. LITIGATION

The Company is a party to routine legal proceedings arising out of the normal course of business. Although it is not possible to predict with certainty the outcome of these unresolved legal actions or the range of possible loss, the Company believes at this time that none of these actions, individually or in the aggregate, will have a material adverse effect on the consolidated financial condition, results of operations or cash flows of the Company. However, due to the difficult nature of predicting unresolved and future legal claims, the Company cannot anticipate or predict the material adverse effect on its consolidated financial condition, results of operations or cash flows as a result of efforts to comply with or its liabilities pertaining to legal judgments.

21. RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING STANDARDS

Comprehensive Income

In June 2011, the FASB issued ASU No. 2011-05, “Comprehensive Income (Topic 220) - Presentation of Comprehensive Income.” The objective of this update is to improve the comparability, consistency, and transparency of financial reporting to increase the prominence of items reported in other comprehensive income. This update requires that all nonowner changes in stockholders' equity be presented in either a single continuous statement of comprehensive income or in two separate but consecutive statements. The amendments in this update are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2011. In December of 2011, the FASB issued ASU No. 2011-12, "Comprehensive Income (Topic 220) - Deferral of the Effective Date for Amendments to the Presentation of Reclassifications of Items Out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income in Accounting Standards Update No. 2011-05." Titan adopted the required comprehensive income presentation updates in the first quarter of 2012. The Company has elected to present items of income and other comprehensive income in two separate, but consecutive, statements of net income and other comprehensive income. This change in presentation did not have a material effect on the Company's financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

22. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

The Company sells products and pays commissions to companies controlled by persons related to the chief executive officer of the Company. The related party is Mr. Fred Taylor and is Mr. Maurice Taylor’s brother.

Sales of Titan products to these companies were approximately $0.7 million and $1.1 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2012, respectively, as compared to $1.1 million and $1.9 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2011. Titan had trade receivables due from these companies of approximately $0.4 million at June 30, 2012, and approximately $0.0 million at December 31, 2011. On other sales referred to Titan from these manufacturing representative companies, commissions were approximately $0.7 million and $1.4 million for the three and six month ended June 30, 2012, respectively, as compared to $0.6 million and $1.2 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2011.

23. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

Acquisition of Australian OTR Tire & Wheel Manufacturer: Planet Group

In July, 2012, Titan announced that it has signed an agreement to purchase a majority ownership interest in Planet Corporation Group of Companies ("Planet") in an all-cash transaction. Planet includes National Tyres, Acme Wheel, Resource Tyre and Choice Tyres Wholesalers and is based in Perth, Australia.

Management's Discussion and Analysis of

Financial Condition and Results of Operations

OVERVIEW

Titan International, Inc. and its subsidiaries are leading manufacturers of wheels, tires and assemblies for off-highway vehicles used in the agricultural, earthmoving/construction and consumer markets. Titan manufactures both wheels and tires for the majority of these market applications, allowing the Company to provide the value-added service of delivering complete wheel and tire assemblies. The Company offers a broad range of products that are manufactured in relatively short production runs to meet the specifications of original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) and/or the requirements of aftermarket customers.

Agricultural Market: Titan's agricultural rims, wheels and tires are manufactured for use on various agricultural and forestry equipment, including tractors, combines, skidders, plows, planters and irrigation equipment, and are sold directly to OEMs and to the aftermarket through independent distributors, equipment dealers and Titan's own distribution centers.

Earthmoving/Construction Market: The Company manufactures rims, wheels and tires for various types of off-the-road (OTR) earthmoving, mining, military and construction equipment, including skid steers, aerial lifts, cranes, graders and levelers, scrapers, self-propelled shovel loaders, articulated dump trucks, load transporters, haul trucks and backhoe loaders.

Consumer Market: Titan manufactures bias truck tires in Latin America, provides wheels and tires and assembles brakes, actuators and components for the domestic boat, recreational and utility trailer markets. Titan also offers select products for ATVs, turf, and golf cart applications. Likewise, Titan produces a variety of tires for the consumer market.

The Company’s major OEM customers include large manufacturers of off-highway equipment such as AGCO Corporation, Caterpillar, Inc., CNH Global N.V., Deere & Company and Kubota Corporation, in addition to many other off-highway equipment manufacturers. The Company distributes products to OEMs, independent and OEM-affiliated dealers, and through a network of distribution facilities.

The following table provides highlights for the quarter ended June 30, 2012, compared to 2011 (amounts in thousands):



	2012		2011		% Increase
Net sales	$	459,233	$	404,447	14	%
Gross profit	82,086		64,334		28	%
Income from operations	80,969		44,397		82	%
Net income	44,325		25,556		73	%

Quarter: The Company recorded sales of $459.2 million for the second quarter of 2012, which were approximately 14% higher than the second quarter 2011 sales of $404.4 million. The higher quarterly sales levels were the result of increased demand in the Company's agricultural and earthmoving/construction segments combined with price/mix improvements.

The Company's gross profit was $82.1 million, or 17.9% of net sales, for the second quarter of 2012, compared to $64.3 million, or 15.9%, of net sales, in 2011. Income from operations was $81.0 million for the second quarter of 2012, compared to $44.4 million in 2011. The increase in the Company's gross profit and income from operations was related to cost leveraging and productivity gains on the higher sales volumes and select price increases on certain products that exceeded the increase in raw materials. Net income was $44.3 million for the quarter, compared to net income of $25.6 million in 2011. Basic income per share was $1.05 in the second quarter of 2012, compared to $.61 in 2011. In addition to the items previously discussed, income from operations, net income and earnings per share were positively affected by the supply agreement termination income of $26.1 million.

The following table provides highlights for the six months ended June 30, 2012, compared to 2011 (amounts in thousands):



	2012		2011		% Increase
Net sales	$	922,321	$	685,276	35	%
Gross profit	175,449		120,606		45	%
Income from operations	139,640		71,276		96	%
Net income	79,719		22,520		254	%

TITAN INTERNATIONAL, INC.

Management's Discussion and Analysis of

Financial Condition and Results of Operations

Year-to-date: The Company recorded sales of $922.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2012, as compared to $685.3 million in 2011. The higher year-to-date sales levels were the result of increased demand in the Company's agricultural and earthmoving/construction segments combined with price/mix improvements, as well as the April 2011 acquisition of the Goodyear Latin American farm tire business which recorded sales of $90.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2012.

The Company's gross profit was $175.4 million, or 19.0% of net sales, for the six months ended June 30, 2012, compared to $120.6 million, or 17.6%, of net sales, in 2011. Income from operations was $139.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2012, compared to $71.3 million in 2011. The increase in the Company's gross profit and income from operations were related to cost leveraging and productivity gains on the higher sales volumes and select price increases on certain products that exceeded the increase in raw materials. Net income was $79.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2012, compared to $22.5 million in 2011. Basic income per share was $1.89 for the six months ended June 30, 2012, compared to $.55 in 2011. In addition to the items previously discussed, income from operations, net income and earnings per share were positively affected by the supply agreement termination income of $26.1 million.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES

Preparation of the financial statements and related disclosures in compliance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires the application of appropriate technical accounting rules and guidance, as well as the use of estimates. The Company's application of these policies involves assumptions that require difficult subjective judgments regarding many factors, which, in and of themselves, could materially impact the financial statements and disclosures. A future change in the estimates, assumptions or judgments applied in determining the following matters, among others, could have a material impact on future financial statements and disclosures.

Asset and Business Acquisitions

The allocation of purchase price for asset and business acquisitions requires management estimates and judgment as to expectations for future cash flows of the acquired assets and business and the allocation of those cash flows to identifiable intangible assets in determining the estimated fair value for purchase price allocations. If the actual results differ from the estimates and judgments used in determining the purchase price allocations, impairment losses could occur. To aid in establishing the value of any intangible assets at the time of acquisition, the Company typically engages a professional appraisal firm.

Inventories

Inventories are valued at lower of cost or market. At June 30, 2012, approximately 27% of the Company's inventories were valued under the last-in, first-out (LIFO) method. The major steel material inventory and related work-in-process and their finished goods are accounted for under the LIFO method. The remaining inventories were valued under the first-in, first-out (FIFO) method or average cost method. Market value is estimated based on current selling prices. Estimated provisions are established for slow-moving and obsolete inventory.

Income Taxes

Deferred income tax provisions are determined using the liability method whereby deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized based upon temporary differences between the financial statement and income tax basis of assets and liabilities. The Company assesses the realizability of its deferred tax asset positions and recognizes and measures uncertain tax positions in accordance with ASC 740 Income Taxes.

Retirement Benefit Obligations

Pension benefit obligations are based on various assumptions used by third-party actuaries in calculating these amounts. These assumptions include discount rates, expected return on plan assets, mortality rates and other factors. Revisions in assumptions and actual results that differ from the assumptions affect future expenses, cash funding requirements and obligations. The Company has three frozen defined benefit pension plans and one defined benefit plan that previously purchased a final annuity settlement. During the first six months of 2012, the Company contributed cash funds of $1.7 million to its frozen defined benefit pension plans. Titan expects to contribute approximately $4.9 million to these frozen defined benefit pension plans during the remainder of 2012. For more information concerning these costs and obligations, see the discussion of the “Pensions” and Note 23 to the Company's financial statements on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2011.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Highlights for the three and six months ended June 30, 2012, compared to 2011 (amounts in thousands):



	Three months ended						Six months ended
	June 30,						June 30,
	2012			2011			2012			2011
Net sales	$	459,233		$	404,447		$	922,321		$	685,276

Gross profit percentage	17.9		%	15.9		%	19.0		%	17.6		%

Net Sales

Quarter: Net sales for the quarter ended June 30, 2012, were $459.2 million compared to $404.4 million in 2011, an increase of 14%. Sales increased as the result of increased demand in the Company's agricultural and earthmoving/construction segments combined with price/mix improvements. Sales volume was approximately 9% higher as the result of strong market conditions in the Company's agricultural and earthmoving/construction segments. Sales increased approximately 10% from price/mix improvements which resulted largely from increased raw material prices that were passed on to customers. The increase in net sales was partially offset by unfavorable foreign currency translation which decreased sales by approximately 5%.

Year-to-date: Net sales for the six months ended June 30, 2012, were $922.3 million, compared to $685.3 million in 2011, an increase of 35%. Sales increased as the result of the April 2011 acquisition of the Goodyear Latin American farm tire business including the Sao Paulo, Brazil manufacturing facility which recorded sales of $90.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2012. Net sales for the six months ended June 30, 2012, excluding this acquisition were $832.0 million, an increase of 21% from the same period in 2011. Sales volume was approximately 10% higher as the result of strong market conditions in the Company's agricultural and earthmoving/construction segments. Sales increased approximately 15% from price/mix improvements which resulted largely from increased raw material prices that were passed on to customers. The increase in net sales was partially offset by unfavorable foreign currency translation which decreased sales by approximately 3%.

Cost of Sales and Gross Profit

Quarter: Cost of sales was $377.1 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2012, compared to $340.1 million in 2011. The higher cost of sales resulted primarily from the increase in quarterly sales levels. The cost of sales increased by approximately 11%, which is comparable to an approximate 14% increase in net sales.

Gross profit for the second quarter of 2012 was $82.1 million, or 17.9% of net sales, compared to $64.3 million, or 15.9% of net sales for the second quarter of 2011. The increase in gross profit margin was primarily due to cost leveraging and productivity gains on the higher sales volumes and select price increases on certain products that exceeded the increase in raw material costs.

Year-to-date: Cost of sales was $746.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2012, compared to $564.7 million in 2011. The higher cost of sales resulted primarily from the increase in year-to-date sales levels. The cost of sales increased by approximately 32%, which is comparable to an approximate 35% increase in net sales.

Gross profit for the six months ended June 30, 2012, was $175.4 million or 19.0% of net sales, compared to $120.6 million or 17.6% of net sales in 2011. The Sao Paulo, Brazil manufacturing facility was acquired on April 1, 2011. This facility provided gross profit of $8.5 million, or 9.4% of net sales, for the three months ended March 31, 2012. Excluding the first quarter results of the Sao Paulo, Brazil manufacturing facility, the gross profit margin (gross profit as a percent of sales) was 20.1% of net sales for the six months ended June 30, 2012. The increase in gross profit margin was primarily due to cost leveraging and productivity gains on the higher sales volumes and select price increases on certain products that exceeded the increase in raw material costs.

Year-to-date: Expenses for SG&A for the six months ended June 30, 2012, were $54.2 million or 5.9% of net sales, compared to $41.9 million or 6.1% of net sales in 2011.

PENSIONS

The Company has three frozen defined benefit pension plans and one defined benefit plan that previously purchased a final annuity settlement. These plans are described in Note 23 of the Company's Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in the 2011 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

The Company's recorded liability for pensions is based on a number of assumptions, including discount rates, rates of return on investments, mortality rates and other factors. Certain of these assumptions are determined by the Company with the assistance of outside actuaries. Assumptions are based on past experience and anticipated future trends. These assumptions are reviewed on a regular basis and revised when appropriate. Revisions in assumptions and actual results that differ from the assumptions affect future expenses, cash funding requirements and the carrying value of the related obligations. Titan expects to contribute approximately $4.9 million to these frozen defined pension plans during the remainder of 2012.

Management's Discussion and Analysis of

Financial Condition and Results of Operations

In the first six months of 2011, operating activities used cash of $30.6 million. This cash was primarily used by increases in accounts receivable and inventory of $152.5 million and $35.0 million, respectively, offset by higher accounts payable of $77.7 million. Net income of $22.5 million included $21.1 million of noncash charges for depreciation and amortization, as well as a noncash convertible debt conversion charge of $16.1 million. Deferred tax assets were reduced by $8.4 million as the Company used current income to reduce the deferred tax asset for previously recorded net operating losses.

Operating cash flows increased $79.3 million when comparing the six months ended June 30, 2012, to the six months ended June 30, 2011. Net income in the first six months of 2012 was $57.2 million higher than the net income in the first six months of 2011. When comparing the first six months of 2012 to the first six months of 2011, cash flows from accounts receivable increased $100.8 million, resulting primarily from the April 2011 Goodyear Latin America farm tire business acquisition not including accounts receivable. The accounts receivable decrease was partly offset by decreases in accounts payable of $40.4 million and the noncash supply agreement termination income of $26.1 million.

The Company's inventory and accounts receivable balances were higher at June 30, 2012, as compared to December 31, 2011. Days sales in inventory remained stable at 54 days at June 30, 2012, compared to 55 days at December 31, 2011, as inventory grew proportionately with sales. Days sales outstanding increased to 47 days at June 30, 2012, from 42 days at December 31, 2011. The Company's days sales outstanding at the end of July and December is generally lower than other months of the year as a result of decreased sales in those months as the result of plant shutdowns.

In the first six months of 2012, $9.2 million of cash was used for financing activities. This cash was primarily used for the payment on term loan borrowings of $14.2 million that was originally borrowed to provide working capital for Titan's Latin American operations. This was partially offset by $4.4 million of additional term loan borrowings for Titan's Latin American operations.

Management's Discussion and Analysis of

Financial Condition and Results of Operations

In the first six months of 2011, $13.2 million of cash was provided by financing activities. This cash was primarily provided by term loan borrowings of $14.1 million used to provide working capital for Titan's Latin American operations.

Financing cash flows decreased by $22.4 million when comparing first six months of 2012 to 2011. This change was primarily the result of the repayment of term loan borrowings in the first six months of 2012.

Other Issues

The Company’s business is subject to seasonal variations in sales that affect inventory levels and accounts receivable balances. Historically, Titan tends to have higher production levels in the first and second quarters.

Debt Covenants

The Company’s revolving credit facility ("credit facility") contains various covenants and restrictions. The financial covenants in this agreement require that:


•	Collateral coverage be equal to or greater than 1.2 times the outstanding revolver balance.


•	If the 30-day average of the outstanding revolver balance exceeds $70 million, the fixed charge coverage ratio be equal to or greater than a 1.1 to 1.0 ratio.

Restrictions include:


•	Limits on payments of dividends and repurchases of the Company’s stock.


•	Restrictions on the ability of the Company to make additional borrowings, or to consolidate, merge or otherwise fundamentally change the ownership of the Company.


•	Limitations on investments, dispositions of assets and guarantees of indebtedness.


•	Other customary affirmative and negative covenants.

These covenants and restrictions could limit the Company’s ability to respond to market conditions, to provide for unanticipated capital investments, to raise additional debt or equity capital, to pay dividends or to take advantage of business opportunities, including future acquisitions. The failure by Titan to meet these covenants could result in the Company ultimately being in default on these loan agreements.

The Company was in compliance with these covenants and restrictions as of June 30, 2012. The collateral coverage ratio was not applicable as there were no outstanding borrowings under the revolving credit facility at June 30, 2012. The fixed charge coverage ratio did not apply for the quarter ended June 30, 2012.

Liquidity Outlook

At June 30, 2012, the Company had $149.5 million of cash and cash equivalents and no outstanding borrowings on the Company's $100 million credit facility. The cash and cash equivalents balance of $149.5 million includes $8.7 million held in foreign countries. The Company's current plans do not demonstrate a need to repatriate the foreign amounts to fund U.S. operations.

Capital expenditures for the remainder of 2012 are forecasted to be approximately $30 million. Cash payments for interest are currently forecasted to be approximately $12 million for the remainder of 2012 based on June 30, 2012 debt balances. The forecasted interest payments are comprised primarily of a semi-annual payment of $3.2 million for the 5.625% convertible senior subordinated notes due on July 15 and a semi-annual payment of $7.9 million for the 7.875% senior secured notes due on October 1.

In the future, Titan may seek to grow by making acquisitions which will depend on the ability to identify suitable acquisition candidates, to negotiate acceptable terms for their acquisition and to finance those acquisitions.

Subject to the terms of indebtedness, the Company may finance future acquisitions with cash on hand, cash from operations, additional indebtedness and/or by issuing additional equity securities.

TITAN INTERNATIONAL, INC.

Management's Discussion and Analysis of

Financial Condition and Results of Operations

Cash on hand, anticipated internal cash flows from operations and utilization of remaining available borrowings are expected to provide sufficient liquidity for working capital needs, capital expenditures and potential acquisitions. If the Company were to exhaust all currently available working capital sources or not meet the financial covenants and conditions of its loan agreements, the Company's ability to secure additional funding would be negatively impacted.

MARKET CONDITIONS AND OUTLOOK

In the first half of 2012, Titan experienced significantly higher sales when compared to the sales levels in the first half of 2011. The higher sales were primarily the result of increased demand and price increases in all of the Company's segments, as well as additional sales resulting from the acquisition of Goodyear's Latin American farm tire business and accompanying supply agreement. For the remainder of 2012, the Company expects sales to continue at strong levels.

Energy, raw material and petroleum-based product costs have been volatile and may negatively impact the Company’s margins. Many of Titan’s overhead expenses are fixed; therefore, lower seasonal trends may cause negative fluctuations in quarterly profit margins and affect the financial condition of the Company.

The labor agreements for the Company’s Bryan, Ohio and Freeport, Illinois, facilities expired on November 19, 2010, for the employees covered by their respective collective bargaining agreements, which account for approximately 34% of the Company’s employees. As of June 30, 2012, the employees of these two facilities were working without a contract. The respective unions have retained the rights to challenge the Company's actions.

AGRICULTURAL MARKET OUTLOOK

Agricultural market sales were significantly higher in the first half of 2012 when compared to the first half of 2011. The addition of Goodyear's Latin American farm tire business, price/mix improvements, and continued strong demand contributed to the higher sales levels. The increase in the global population and the rising middle class in emerging countries may help grow future demand. The gradual increase in the use of biofuels may help sustain future production. Many variables, including weather, grain prices, export markets and future government policies and payments can greatly influence the overall health of the agricultural economy. Current drought conditions in many parts of the U.S. and the expectations of lower farming yields may result in softer growth, or possibly decline, in the Company's agricultural market sales for the remainder of 2012.

EARTHMOVING/CONSTRUCTION MARKET OUTLOOK

Earthmoving and mining sales continue to improve, aided by increases in metals, oil and gas prices. Although they may fluctuate in the short-term, in the long-term, these prices are expected to remain at levels that are attractive for continued investment, which should help support future earthmoving and mining sales. The contracted United States housing market continues to cause a lower demand for equipment used for construction. The earthmoving/construction segment is affected by many variables, including commodity prices, road construction, infrastructure, government appropriations, housing starts and the on-going banking and credit issues. For the remainder of 2012, the Company expects strong demand to continue.

CONSUMER MARKET OUTLOOK

Consumer market sales were lower in the second quarter of 2012, when compared to recent quarters. The decrease in net sales was primarily the result of decreased sales from the supply agreement for certain non-agricultural product sales included as part of the Goodyear Latin American farm tire acquisition agreement, which are included in the consumer segment. In May 2012, the Company and Goodyear terminated this supply agreement and entered into an agreement under which Titan will sell these products directly to third party customers and pay a royalty to Goodyear. Consumer market sales may fluctuate from period to period.
