IMCO RECYCLING INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)

September 30, 2004

(dollars in tables are in thousands, except per share data)

 

NOTE A – BASIS OF PRESENTATION

 

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2004 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2004. The accompanying financial statements include the accounts of IMCO Recycling Inc. and all of its subsidiaries (collectively, except where the context otherwise requires, referred to as “IMCO”, the “company”, “we,” “us,” “our” or similar terms). All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated. For further information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K (as amended) for the year ended December 31, 2003. Certain reclassifications have been made to prior period statements to conform to the current period presentation.

 

Restatement of prior period financial statements

 

We restated our Consolidated Statements of Operations for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2003 to record legal expenses of $566,000 in selling, general and administrative expense in the third quarter of 2003 related to the Bland litigation previously recorded in Accounts receivable, see “NOTE F—COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES, and increased our benefit from income taxes in that quarter by $215,000. These revisions decreased net earnings for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2003 by $351,000 or $0.02 per share.

 

We restated our Consolidated Balance Sheet as of December 31, 2003 to reclassify $32,991,000 outstanding under our senior credit facility as a current liability. This restatement had no impact on our results of operations or cash flows for the year ended December 31, 2003. See “NOTE G—LONG-TERM DEBT” of the audited financial statements.

NOTE B – IMCO RECYCLING INC. AND COMMONWEALTH INDUSTRIES INC. PROPOSED MERGER

 

On June 16, 2004, we announced the execution of a definitive merger agreement for a business combination of IMCO with Commonwealth Industries, Inc. (“Commonwealth”). Under the merger, we will acquire each outstanding share of Commonwealth common stock in exchange for 0.815 shares of IMCO common stock. The merger is expected to give IMCO and Commonwealth approximately equal representation on the combined company’s board of directors, and IMCO’s stockholders are expected to own approximately 54% of the combined company immediately following the merger. The transaction is expected to close in December 2004, and its completion is subject to successful completion of the refinancing of certain indebtedness of the two companies, and stockholder approval by both companies, as well as other customary closing conditions. Certain financing has been completed. See NOTE D – LONG-TERM DEBT. We have capitalized $3,458,000 in acquisition costs related to this transaction as of September 30, 2004.

 

Commonwealth is a manufacturer of aluminum sheet for distributors, transportation, construction and consumer durables end-use markets. Commonwealth has direct-chill casting facilities in Lewisport, Kentucky and continuous casting mini-mills in Urichsville, Ohio and Carson, California. The combination is anticipated to create a new vertically integrated company that can be a strong competitor in the global aluminum recycling and production industries, having benefits from procurement savings and cost synergies, an enhanced competitive position, increased scope and scale, greater technological capabilities, and improved access to capital. As of December 31, 2003, Commonwealth had total assets and total property and equipment of $380.1 million and $127.6 million, respectively. For the year ended December 31, 2003 Commonwealth had revenues of $817.7 million and income from continuing operations of $142,000.
