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, 2011, the results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, and cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010.

Accounting policies have continued without significant change and are described in the Description of Business and Significant Accounting Policies contained in the Company’s 2010 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 2010 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 senior secured 7.875% notes due 2017 (senior secured notes) and convertible senior subordinated 5.625% notes due 2017 (convertible notes) are carried at cost of $200.0 million and $112.9 million at June 30, 2011, respectively. The fair value of these notes at June 30, 2011, as obtained through independent pricing sources, was approximately $209.0 million for the senior secured notes and approximately $291.5 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, 2011 and 2010. The second quarter 2011 cash dividend of $.005 per share of common stock was paid July 15, 2011, to stockholders of record on June 30, 2011.

2. ACQUISITIONS

Acquisition of AII Holdings, Inc.

On April 1, 2011, Titan purchased a 70% controlling interest in AII Holding, Inc. (AII) for $1.3 million of Titan stock and payment of $2.3 million of AII’s debt. The fair value of the identified assets acquired less liabilities assumed exceeded the fair value of the consideration transferred and noncontrolling interest. Therefore, a bargain purchase gain of $0.9 million was recorded on the transaction. The Company continues to evaluate the preliminary purchase price allocation, primarily the value of certain deferred taxes and the bargain purchase gain, and may revise the purchase price allocation in future periods as these estimates are finalized.

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, subject to post-closing conditions and adjustments. In addition, there were approximately $1.3 million of acquisition related costs recorded as selling, general and administrative costs during the six months ended June 30, 2011. 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. Net sales and net income from the acquisition date included in the statement of operations was $92.3 million and $4.5 million, respectively.

TITAN INTERNATIONAL, INC.

Notes to Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements

(Unaudited)

The Company funded the acquisition with cash on hand. The purchase price was allocated to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their fair values. Inventory was valued using the comparative sales method. Real and personal property was valued using a combination of methodologies outlined by the Brazilian Association of Technical Standards. The excess of the purchase price over the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed was reflected as goodwill. The goodwill was allocated to the agricultural segment. The Company continues to evaluate the preliminary purchase price allocation, primarily the value of certain deferred taxes and goodwill, and may revise the purchase price allocation in future periods as these estimates are finalized.

The preliminary purchase price allocation of the Latin American farm tire business consisted of the following

(in thousands):

Cash	$	1,018
Inventories		14,562
Prepaid & other current assets		4,929
Property, plant & equipment		108,905
Goodwill		21,388
Other assets		39,263
Other current liabilities		(21,127	)
Deferred income taxes		(29,477	)
Other noncurrent liabilities		(40,823	)
Net assets acquired	$	98,638

The preliminary purchase price allocation includes $42.5 million for prepaid royalty. The prepaid royalty is for a seven year period and was calculated using a 2% royalty discounted at a 10% rate. The prepaid royalty and discount will be amortized over the seven year period of the agreement. The current portion of the prepaid royalty was $3.9 million and is included in prepaid & other current assets. The noncurrent portion of the prepaid royalty was $38.6 million and is included in other assets.

The preliminary purchase price allocation includes $53.9 million for supply agreement liability which was valued using the incremental income method. The supply agreement liability was recorded as the supply agreements are for sales at below market prices. The liability will be amortized with an offset to cost of sales over the three year life of the agreement. The current portion of the supply agreement was $18.0 million and is included in other current liabilities. The noncurrent portion of the supply agreement was $35.9 million and is included in other noncurrent liabilities.

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, 2010. 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.

Pro forma financial information for the three and six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, is as follows :

The initial base conversion rate for the convertible notes is 93.0016 shares of Titan common stock per $1,000 principal amount of convertible notes, equivalent to an initial base conversion price of approximately $10.75 per share of Titan common stock. If the price of Titan common stock at the time of determination exceeds the base conversion price, the base conversion rate will be increased by an additional number of shares (up to 9.3002 shares of Titan common stock per $1,000 principal amount of convertible notes) as determined pursuant to a formula described in the indenture. The base conversion rate will be subject to adjustment in certain events. The Company’s convertible notes balance was $112.9 million at June 30, 2011.

In the first quarter of 2011, the Company closed an Exchange Agreement with a note holder of the convertible notes, pursuant to which such holder converted approximately $59.6 million in aggregate principal amount of the Convertible Notes into approximately 6.6 million shares of the Company’s common stock, plus a payment for the accrued and unpaid interest. In connection with the exchange, the Company recognized a noncash charge of $16.1 million in accordance with ASC 470-20 Debt – Debt with Conversion and Other Options.

8% senior unsecured notes due 2012

In the first quarter of 2011, Titan satisfied and discharged the indenture relating to the 8% senior unsecured notes due January 2012 by depositing with the trustee $1.1 million cash representing the outstanding principal of such notes and interest payments due on July 15, 2011, and at maturity on January 15, 2012. Titan irrevocably instructed the trustee to apply the deposited money toward the interest and principal of the notes.

Revolving credit facility

The Company’s $100 million revolving credit facility (credit facility) with agent Bank of America, N.A. has a January 2014 termination date and is collateralized by the accounts receivable and inventory of Titan and certain of its domestic subsidiaries. During the first six months of 2011 and at June 30, 2011, there were no borrowings under the credit facility. Outstanding letters of credit were $12.0 million at June 30, 2011, leaving $88.0 million of unused availability on the credit facility. The credit facility contains certain financial covenants, restrictions and other customary affirmative and negative covenants. Titan is in compliance with these covenants and restrictions as of June 30, 2011.

Other debt

Brazil Term Loan

In May 2011, the Company entered into a two-year, unsecured $10.0 million Term Loan with Bank of America, N.A. (BoA term loan) to provide working capital for the Sao Paolo, Brazil manufacturing facility. Borrowings under the BoA term loan bear interest at a rate equal to LIBOR plus 200 basis points. The BoA term loan shall be a minimum of $5.0 million with the option for an additional $5.0 million loan for a maximum of $10.0 million. The BoA loan is due May 2013. As of June 30, 2011, the Company had $5.0 million outstanding and the interest rate was approximately 14%

Brazil Revolving Line of Credit

The Company’s wholly-owned Brazilian subsidiary, Titan Pneus Do Brasil Ltda (Titan Brazil), has a revolving line of credit (Brazil line of credit) established with Bank of America Merrill Lynch Banco Multiplo S.A in May 2011 that is secured by a $12.0 million line of credit between the Company and Bank of America N.A. under the $100.0 million credit facility. Titan Brazil could borrow up to 16.0 million Brazilian Reais, which equates to approximately $10.2 million dollars as of June 30, 2011, for working capital purposes. Under the terms of the Brazil line of credit, borrowings, if any, bear interest at a rate of LIBOR plus 247 basis points. At June 30, 2011 there was $9.3 million outstanding and the interest rate was approximately 3%.

10. DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

The Company uses a financial derivative to mitigate its exposure to volatility in the interest rate and foreign currency exchange rate in Brazil. The Company uses this derivate instrument 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 transaction with Bank of America Merrill Lynch Banco Multiplo S.A that is designed to convert the outstanding $5.0 million US Dollar based Libor loan to a Brazilian Real based CDI loan. The Company has not designated this agreement as a hedging instrument. 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, 2011, the Company recorded $0.1 million of other expense and $0.1 million of interest expense related to this derivative.

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 (in thousands):

	June 30, 2011						December 31, 2010

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 affect 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

Business Combinations

In December 2010, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2010-29, “Business Combinations (Topic 805) – Disclosure of Supplementary Pro Forma Information for Business Combinations.” This update addresses diversity in practice about the interpretation of the pro forma revenue and earnings disclosure requirements for business combinations. The amendments in this update specify that if a public entity presents comparative financial statements, the entity should disclose revenue and earnings of the combined entity as though the business combination that occurred during the current year had occurred as of the beginning of the comparable prior annual reporting period only. The amendments in this update also expand the supplemental pro forma disclosures under Topic 805 to include a description of the nature and amount of material, nonrecurring pro forma adjustments directly attributable to the business combination included in the reported pro forma revenue and earnings. The amendments in this update were effective prospectively for business combinations for which the acquisition date was on or after the beginning of the first annual reporting period beginning on or after December 15, 2010. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material effect on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

Fair Value Measurement

In May 2011, the FASB issued ASU No. 2011-04, “Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820) – Amendments to Achieve Common Fair Value Measurement and Disclosure Requirements in U.S. GAAP and IFRSs.” This update establishes common requirements for measuring fair value and for disclosing information about fair value measurements in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) and International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS). The amendments in this update are effective during interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2011. The adoption of this update is not expected to have a material effect on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

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 during interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2011. The adoption of this update is not expected to have a material effect on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

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 builds select products for all-terrain vehicles (ATV), turf, golf and trailer applications. The Company provides wheels/tires and assembles brakes, actuators and components for the domestic boat, recreational and utility trailer markets. The consumer market also includes sales of products sold to Goodyear under supply agreements.

The Company’s major OEM customers include large manufacturers of off-highway equipment such as AGCO Corporation, 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, 2011, compared to 2010 (amounts in thousands):

	Three months ended June 30,
	2011		2010		% Increase
Net sales	$	404,447	$	229,656		76	%
Gross profit		63,891		33,903		88	%
Income from operations		43,954		17,428		152	%
Net income		25,277		4,569		453	%

Quarter: The Company recorded sales of $404.4 million for the second quarter of 2011, which were 76% higher than the second quarter 2010 sales of $229.7 million. The higher quarterly sales were primarily the result of increased demand in all of the Company’s segments; agricultural, earthmoving/construction and consumer, as well as the April acquisition of the Goodyear Latin American farm tire business including the Sao Paulo, Brazil manufacturing facility which recorded sales of $92.3 million for the second quarter of 2011.

The Company’s gross profit was $63.9 million, or 15.8% of net sales, for the second quarter of 2011, compared to $33.9 million, or 14.8% of net sales, in 2010. Income from operations was $44.0 million for the second quarter of 2011, compared to $17.4 million in 2010. The increase in the Company’s gross profit and income from operations was primarily related to increased sales levels as well as gains from improved plant utilization resulting from the higher sales levels. The Sao Paulo, Brazil manufacturing facility provided gross profit of $8.7 million for the second quarter of 2011. Net income was $25.3 million for the quarter, compared to $4.6 million in 2010. Basic earnings per share were $.60 for the second quarter of 2011, compared to $.13 in 2010. In addition to the items previously discussed, net income and earnings per share were positively affected by an increase in other income of approximately $3 million.

Year-to-date: The Company recorded sales of $685.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2011, as compared to $426.1 million in 2010. The higher sales were primarily the result of increased demand in all of the Company’s segments; agricultural, earthmoving/construction and consumer, as well as the April acquisition of the Goodyear Latin American farm tire business including the Sao Paulo, Brazil manufacturing facility which recorded sales of $92.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2011.

Income from operations was $70.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2011, compared to $27.6 million in 2010. The increase in the Company’s gross profit and income from operations was primarily related to increased sales levels as well as gains from improved plant utilization resulting from the higher sales levels.

Net income was $22.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2011, compared to $6.6 million in 2010. Basic earnings per share were $.54 for the six months ended June 30, 2011, compared to $.19 in 2010.

PURCHASE OF GOODYEAR’S LATIN AMERICAN FARM TIRE BUSINESS

On April 1, 2011, Titan closed on the acquisition of The Goodyear Tire & Rubber Company’s Latin American farm tire business for approximately $98.6 million U.S. dollars, subject to post-closing conditions and adjustments. 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.

COLLECTIVE BARGAINING AGREEMENTS

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 30% of Titan employees in the United States. As of June 30, 2011, the employees of these two facilities were working without a contract under the terms of the Company’s latest offer. The respective unions have retained their rights to challenge the Company’s actions.

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, 2011, approximately 31% 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 2011, the Company contributed cash funds of $1.0 million to its frozen pension plans. Titan expects to contribute approximately $2 million to these frozen defined benefit pension plans during the remainder of 2011. For more information concerning these costs and obligations, see the discussion of the “Pensions” and Note 20 to the Company’s financial statements on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2010.

CONVERTIBLE SENIOR SUBORDINATED NOTES CONVERSION

In the first quarter of 2011, the Company closed an Exchange Agreement with a note holder of the convertible notes, pursuant to which such holder exchanged approximately $59.6 million in aggregate principal amount of the convertible notes for approximately 6.6 million shares of the Company’s common stock, plus a payment for the accrued and unpaid interest. In connection with the exchange, the Company recognized a noncash charge of $16.1 million in accordance with ASC 470-20 Debt – Debt with Conversion and Other Options.

Net Sales

Quarter: Net sales for the quarter ended June 30, 2011, were $404.4 million, compared to $229.7 million in 2010. The increase in net sales was the result of continued strong demand in the agricultural segment, increasing demand in the earthmoving/construction segment, and a supply agreement in the consumer segment resulting from the acquisition of the Goodyear Latin American farm tire business including the Sao Paulo, Brazil manufacturing facility which recorded total sales of $92.3 million for the second quarter of 2011.

Year-to-date: Net sales for the six months ended June 30, 2011, were $685.3 million, compared to 2010 net sales of $426.1 million. In addition to the reasons discussed above, the Company’s increased net sales were also affected by pricing/mix improvements which were primarily the result of increased raw material prices that were passed on to customers.

Cost of Sales and Gross Profit

Quarter: Cost of sales was $340.6 million for the second quarter of 2011, compared to $195.8 million for 2010. The higher cost of sales resulted primarily from the increase in the quarterly sales levels. The cost of sales increased by approximately 74%, which is comparable to an approximate 76% increase in net sales.

Gross profit for the second quarter of 2011 was $63.9 million, or 15.8% of net sales, compared to $33.9 million, or 14.8% of net sales, for the second quarter of 2010. The Sao Paulo, Brazil manufacturing facility provided gross profit of $8.7 million for the second quarter of 2011. The remaining increase in the Company’s gross profit was primarily related to increased sales levels as well as gains from improved plant utilization resulting from the higher sales levels.

Year-to-date: Cost of sales was $565.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2011, compared to $366.1 million in 2010. The higher cost of sales resulted from the significant increase in the sales levels and increased raw material prices. The cost of sales increased by approximately 54%, compared to an approximate 61% increase in net sales.

Gross profit for the six months ended June 30, 2011, was $120.2 million or 17.5% of net sales, compared to $60.0 million or 14.1% of net sales in 2010. The Sao Paulo, Brazil manufacturing facility provided gross profit of $8.7 million six months ended June 30, 2011. The remaining increase in the Company’s gross profit was primarily related to increased sales levels as well as gains from improved plant utilization resulting from the higher sales levels.

Percentage of net sales		4.1	%		5.3	%		6.1	%		5.6	%

Quarter: Selling, general and administrative (SG&A) expenses for the second quarter of 2011 were $16.6 million or 4.1% of net sales, compared to $12.2 million or 5.3% of net sales for 2010. The higher SG&A expenses were the result of higher selling and marketing expenses of approximately $3 million, primarily due to increased sales levels, and approximately $2 million of expenses of recently acquired facilities offset by a decrease of approximately $3 million in CEO special performance award expenses. As a percentage of sales, SG&A decreased as a result of the decreased CEO special performance award expenses and the absence of selling and marketing expenses related to supply agreement sales.

Year-to-date: Expenses for SG&A for the six months ended June 30, 2011, were $41.9 million or 6.1% of net sales, compared to $24.0 million or 5.6% of net sales in 2010. The higher SG&A expenses were primarily the result of higher selling and marketing expenses related to the increases sales levels and an increase in the accrual for the CEO special performance award due to a rise in the Company’s stock price. Selling and marketing expenses were approximately $4 million higher, primarily due to increased sales levels. CEO special performance award expenses were approximately $6 million higher. Approximately $2 million of SG&A expenses of recently acquired facilities also contributed to the increase.

Percentage of net sales		0.3	%		0.8	%		0.3	%		0.9	%

Quarter: Research and development (R&D) expenses for the second quarter of 2011 were $1.0 million or 0.3% of net sales, compared to $1.9 million or 0.8% of net sales for 2010. The lower R&D costs recorded during the second quarter of approximately $0.9 million primarily resulted from less R&D related to the giant off-the-road (OTR) products.

Year-to-date: Expenses for R&D were $2.2 million or 0.3% of net sales for the six months ended June 30, 2011, compared to $3.9 million or 0.9% of net sales for 2010. The lower R&D costs recorded of approximately $1.7 million primarily resulted from less R&D related to the giant off-the-road (OTR) products.

Corporate Expenses

Quarter

Income from operations on a segment basis does not include corporate expenses or depreciation and amortization expense related to property, plant and equipment carried at the corporate level totaling $12.9 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2011, as compared to $10.4 million for 2010.

Corporate expenses for the quarter ended June 30, 2011, were composed of selling and marketing expenses of approximately $7 million and administrative expenses of approximately $6 million.

Corporate expenses for the quarter ended June 30, 2010, were composed of selling and marketing expenses of approximately $5 million and administrative expenses of approximately $6 million.

Corporate selling and marketing expenses were approximately $3 million higher in the second quarter as the result of higher sales levels.

Year-to-Date

Income from operations on a segment basis does not include corporate expenses or depreciation and amortization expense related to property, plant and equipment carried at the corporate level totaling $36.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2011, as compared to $21.5 million for 2010.

Corporate expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2011, were composed of selling and marketing expenses of approximately $13 million and administrative expenses of approximately $23 million.

Corporate expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2010, were composed of selling and marketing expenses of approximately $9 million and administrative expenses of approximately $12 million.

Corporate selling and marketing expenses were approximately $4 million higher for the six months ended June 30, 2011 as the result of higher sales levels. Corporate administrative expenses were approximately $10 million higher in the first half of 2011 primarily as the result of an increase in the CEO special performance award due to a rise in the Company’s stock price and stock options expense totaling approximately $7 million and an increase in legal and professional fees of approximately $2 million.

MARKET RISK SENSITIVE INSTRUMENTS

The Company’s risks related to foreign currencies, commodity prices and interest rates are consistent with those for 2010. For more information, see the “Market Risk Sensitive Instruments” discussion in the Company’s Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2010.

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 20 of the Company’s Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in the 2010 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 $2 million to these frozen defined pension plans during the remainder of 2011.

	2011			2010			Change
Net income	$	22,241		$	6,647		$	15,594
Depreciation and amortization		21,146			18,635			2,511
Noncash convertible debt conversion charge		16,135			0			16,135

Cash used for operating activities	$	(30,632	)	$	(9,194	)	$	(21,438	)

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 $34.5 million, respectively, offset by higher accounts payable of $77.7 million. Net income of $22.2 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 $8.3 million as the Company used current income to reduce the deferred tax asset for previously recorded net operating losses.

In the first six months of 2010, operating activities used cash of $9.2 million. This cash was primarily used by increases in accounts receivable and inventory of $50.4 million and $28.3 million, respectively, offset by higher accounts payable of $23.8 million. Net income of $6.6 million included $18.6 million of noncash charges for depreciation and amortization. Deferred tax assets were reduced by $5.5 million as the Company used current income to reduce the deferred tax asset for previously recorded net operating losses.

Operating cash flows decreased $21.4 million when comparing the six months ended June 30, 2011, to the six months ended June 30, 2010. Net income in the first six months of 2011 was $15.6 million higher than the net income in the first six months of 2010. When comparing the first six months of 2011 to the first six months of 2010, cash flows from accounts receivable decreased $102.1 million. The significant increase in accounts receivable is primarily due to increased sales levels. Also, the Goodyear Latin America farm tire business acquisition did not include accounts receivable. The accounts receivable decrease was partly offset by increases in accounts payable of $53.9 million and a noncash convertible debt conversion charge of $16.1 million.

Net cash used for investing activities was $107.9 million in the first six months of 2011, as compared to $11.7 million in the first six months of 2010. The Company invested a total of $99.1 in acquisitions in the first six months of 2011. Other investing activities relate primarily to fixed asset disposals.

Financing cash flows

Summary of cash flows from financing activities:

(amounts in thousands)	Six months ended June 30,
	2011			2010			Change
Repurchase of senior notes	$	(1,064	)	$	(49,744	)	$	48,680

Dividends paid		(387	)		(353	)		(34	)
Cash provided by (used for) financing activities	$	13,174		$	(50,043	)	$	63,217

In the first six months of 2011, cash of $13.2 million was provided by financing activities. This cash was primarily provided by term loan borrowings of $14.1 million used to provide working capital to Titan’s Sao Paulo, Brazil manufacturing facility.

In the first six months of 2010, cash of $50.0 million was used for financing activities. This cash was primarily used for repurchase of senior notes of $49.7 million.

Financing cash flows increased $63.2 million when comparing the first six months of 2011 to the first six months of 2010. This cash flow increase resulted primarily from term loan borrowings in 2011 offset by repurchase of senior notes in 2010.

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 experience higher sales demand 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.

TITAN INTERNATIONAL, INC.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of

Financial Condition and Results of Operations

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 is in compliance with these covenants and restrictions as of June 30, 2011. The collateral coverage ratio was not applicable as there were no outstanding borrowings under the revolving credit facility at June 30, 2011. The fixed charge coverage ratio did not apply for the quarter ended June 30, 2011.

Liquidity Outlook

At June 30, 2011, the Company had $114.2 million of cash and cash equivalents and $88.0 million of unused availability under the terms of its credit facility. The availability under the Company’s $100 million credit facility was reduced by $12.0 million for letters of credit used to provide working capital to our Sao Paulo, Brazil manufacturing facility. Titan’s acquisition of Goodyear’s Latin American farm tire business did not include accounts receivable. As a result, during the second quarter Titan obtained $14.3 million in loans to provide working capital for operations at the Sao Paulo, Brazil manufacturing facility. During the second half of the year, Titan does not anticipate significant levels of financing will be required for working capital to fund operations at the Sao Paulo, Brazil manufacturing facility.

Capital expenditures for the remainder of 2011 are forecasted to be approximately $9 million to $11 million. Cash payments for interest are currently forecasted to be approximately $12 million for the remainder of 2011 based on June 30, 2011, debt balances.

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.

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.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of

Financial Condition and Results of Operations

MARKET CONDITIONS AND OUTLOOK

In the first half of 2011, Titan experienced significantly higher sales when compared to the first half of 2010. The higher sales were primarily the result of increased demand in all of the Company’s segments, as well as additional sales resulting from the acquisition of Goodyear’s Latin American farm tire business. In the second half of 2011, 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.

AGRICULTURAL MARKET OUTLOOK

Agricultural market sales were significantly higher in the first half of 2011 when compared to the first half of 2010. The addition of Goodyear’s Latin American farm tire business, 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.

EARTHMOVING/CONSTRUCTION MARKET OUTLOOK

Earthmoving and mining sales continue to improve from the low levels of the second half of 2009 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 decline in the 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 2011, the Company expects an improvement in sales to continue.

CONSUMER MARKET OUTLOOK

Consumer market sales were significantly higher in the second quarter of 2011, when compared to previous quarters. The increase in net sales was primarily the result of the Goodyear Latin American farm tire acquisition agreement, which included supply agreements for certain non-agricultural product sales, which are included in the consumer segment. The supply agreement sales, which currently make up a large portion of consumer market sales, may fluctuate from period to period.
