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 March 31, 2011, and the results of operations and cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 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.

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 March 31, 2011, respectively. The fair value of these notes at March 31, 2011, as obtained through independent pricing sources, was approximately $214.0 million for the senior secured notes and approximately $317.8 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 per share of common stock for each of the three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010.

Titan Europe Plc is publicly traded on the AIM market in London, England. The Company’s investment in Titan Europe represents a 22.9% ownership percentage. The Company has considered the applicable guidance in Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 323 Investments – Equity Method and Joint Ventures and has concluded that the Company’s investment in Titan Europe Plc should be accounted for as an available-for-sale security and recorded at fair value in accordance with ASC 320 Investments – Debt and Equity Securities as the Company does not have significant influence over Titan Europe Plc. The investment in Titan Europe Plc is included as a component of other assets on the Consolidated Condensed Balance Sheets. Titan’s cost basis in Titan Europe is $5.0 million. Titan’s accumulated other comprehensive income includes a gain on the Titan Europe Plc investment of $10.5 million, which is net of tax of $5.6 million.

5.625% convertible senior subordinated notes due 2017

The Company’s 5.625% convertible senior subordinated notes (convertible notes) are due January 2017. 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 March 31, 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.

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.

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 quarter of 2011 and at March 31, 2011, there were no borrowings under the credit facility.

16. 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):

	March 31, 2011						December 31, 2010
	Total		Level 1		Levels 2&3		Total		Level 1		Levels 2&3
Investment in Titan Europe Plc	$	21,165	$	21,165	$	0	$	22,693	$	22,693	$	0

17. 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.
