TITAN INTERNATIONAL, INC.
Notes to Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements
(Unaudited)


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 September 30, 2015, and the results of operations and cash flows for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014.

Accounting policies have continued without significant change and are described in the Description of Business and Significant Accounting Policies contained in the Company's 2014 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 2014 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, and other accruals at cost, which approximates fair value due to their short term or stated rates.  Investments in marketable equity securities are recorded at fair value.  The 6.875% senior secured notes due 2020 (senior secured notes due 2020) and 5.625% convertible senior subordinated notes due 2017 (convertible notes) are carried at cost of $400.0 million and $60.2 million at September 30, 2015, respectively. The fair value of the senior secured notes due 2020 at September 30, 2015, as obtained through an independent pricing source, was approximately $358.0 million.

Cash dividends
The Company declared cash dividends of $.005 and $.015 per share of common stock for each of the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015, and 2014. The third quarter 2015 cash dividend of $.005 per share of common stock was paid October 15, 2015, to stockholders of record on September 30, 2015.

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.

Recently Issued Accounting Standards
In April 2015, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2015-03, "Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs." This update amends existing guidance to require that debt issuance costs related to a recognized debt liability be presented in the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the carrying amount of that debt liability, consistent with debt discounts. The amendments in this update are effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2015, and interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company is currently assessing the impact that adopting this new accounting guidance will have on the Company's consolidated financial statements.

In July 2015, the FASB issued ASU No 2015-11, "Simplifying the Measurement of Inventory." This update provides that an entity should measure inventory with the scope of the update at the lower of cost or net realizable value. Net realizable value is the estimated selling prices in the ordinary course of business, less reasonably predictable costs of completion, disposal, and transportation. The amendments in this update are effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017. The Company is currently assessing the impact that adopting this new accounting guidance will have on the Company's consolidated financial statements.

Reclassification
Certain amounts from prior years have been reclassified to conform to the current year's presentation. Reclassifications included changes in classification from selling, general and administrative to cost of sales of $1.7 million and $6.0 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014, respectively.

During the second quarter of 2015, the Company identified a subsidiary investment which was improperly classified as an intercompany liability. As a result of the correction of this item, the Company reclassified currency translation in other comprehensive income to currency exchange in other income. The nine months ended September 30, 2015, included $3.1 million in currency exchange related to this correction. Titan concluded that this amount is immaterial to the consolidated financial statements for the nine months ended September 30, 2015.

2. MINING ASSET IMPAIRMENT AND INVENTORY WRITEDOWN

In the second quarter of 2014, the Company recorded an asset impairment and inventory write-down of $23.2 million and $11.6 million, respectively. The impairment was recorded on machinery, equipment and molds used to produce giant mining tires. Mining products are included in the Company's earthmoving/construction segment. In the second quarter of 2014, several large mining equipment manufacturers significantly decreased their sales forecast for mining equipment. The Company's sales of mining product were deteriorating at an accelerated pace. Therefore, the company tested mining related assets for impairment in the second quarter of 2014. The fair value of the mining equipment was determined using a cost and market approach. The inventory write-down was to adjust the value of mining product inventory to estimated market value.

15. INCOME TAXES

The Company recorded income tax expense of $0.3 million and $3.2 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015, respectively, as compared to a benefit from income taxes of $(5.1) million and $(15.6) million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014. The Company's effective income tax rate was (10%) and 25% for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively.

The Company's 2015 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 certain foreign jurisdictions that incurred a full valuation allowance on deferred tax assets created by current year projected losses and foreign income taxed in the U.S. offset by net discrete benefits related to a U.S. check the box election and tax law enactments.

The Company continues to monitor the realization of its deferred tax assets and assess the need for a valuation allowance. The Company analyzes available positive and negative evidence to determine if a valuation allowance is needed based on the weight of the evidence. The Company, on a quarterly basis, analyzes its evidence including its cyclical business cycle and the generation of taxable profit in the near term, proportionate amount of long term deferred tax assets, a cumulative loss position and weights this analysis to determine if a valuation allowance is needed. This process requires management to make estimates, assumptions and judgments that are uncertain in nature. The Company has established valuation allowances on certain foreign jurisdictions and continues to monitor and assess potential valuation and allowances in all its jurisdictions.

The Company's 2014 income tax benefit 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 state income tax expense, unrecognized tax benefits, foreign earnings, and the tax benefit related to the incremental deduction for a prior year bond repurchase premium.

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.

19. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

Accounting standards for fair value measurements establish 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):
