Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To the Board of Directors and Shareholders
of Superior Industries International, Inc.:

We have completed integrated audits of Superior Industries International, Inc.’s consolidated financial statements and of its internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2006, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Our opinions, based on our audits, are presented below.

Consolidated financial statements and financial statement schedule

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements listed in the accompanying index present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Superior Industries International, Inc. and its subsidiaries at December 31, 2006 and December 25, 2005, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2006 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. In addition, in our opinion, the financial statement schedule listed in the accompanying index presents fairly, in all material respects, the information set forth therein when read in conjunction with the related consolidated financial statements. These financial statements and financial statement schedule are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and financial statement schedule based on our audits. We conducted our audits of these statements in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit of financial statements includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

As discussed in Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company restated its 2005 and 2004 consolidated financial statements.

As discussed in Note 1, Note 10 and Note 13 to the consolidated financial statements, the company changed the manner in which it accounts for cash and cash equivalents and short-term investments, defined benefit pension plans, and stock-based compensation, respectively, in 2006.

Internal control over financial reporting

Also, in our opinion, management’s assessment, included in Management’s Report On Internal Control Over Financial Reporting appearing under Item 9A, that the Company maintained effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2006 based on criteria established in Internal Control — Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO), is fairly stated, in all material respects, based on those criteria. Furthermore, in our opinion, the Company maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2006, based on criteria established in Internal Control — Integrated Framework issued by the COSO. The Company’s management is responsible for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting. Our responsibility is to express opinions on management’s assessment and on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting based on our audit. We conducted our audit of internal control over financial reporting in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects. An audit of internal control over financial reporting includes obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, evaluating management’s assessment, testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control, and performing such other

procedures as we consider necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinions.

A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (i) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (ii) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (iii) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE 1 — SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Business Description

Headquartered in Van Nuys, California, our principal business is the design and manufacture of aluminum road wheels for sale to OEMs. We are one of the largest suppliers of cast and forged aluminum wheels to the world’s leading automobile and light truck manufacturers, with wheel manufacturing operations in the United States, Mexico and Hungary. Customers in North America represent the principal market for our products, with approximately 14 percent of our products being sold to international customers.

GM, Ford and DaimlerChrysler together represented approximately 86 percent of our annual sales in 2006 and 85 percent and 88 percent of annual sales in 2005 and 2004, respectively. Although the loss of all or a substantial portion of our sales to any of these customers would have a significant adverse impact on our financial results, unless the lost volume could be replaced, we believe this risk is partially offset due to long-term relationships with each, including multi-year program arrangements. However, recent global competition pricing pressures have put these multi-year arrangements at risk. Including our 50 percent owned joint venture in Europe, we also manufacture aluminum wheels for, Audi, BMW, Isuzu, Jaguar, Land Rover, Mazda, MG Rover, Mitsubishi, Nissan, Subaru, Toyota and Volkswagen.

We began manufacturing aluminum suspension and related underbody components using the licensed Cobapress^TM technology in 1999. Through 2005, we had made a significant investment in this business and had incurred significant losses since its inception. Due to the intense competition in the global automotive wheel industry, the decision was made to focus all of our resources on our core aluminum wheel business. On January 9, 2006, our Board of Directors approved management’s plan to dispose of the aluminum suspension components business before the end of 2006 and authorized us to engage an investment banker and/or other advisors to explore options for the sale of this business. Accordingly, on September 20, 2006, we entered into an agreement with Saint Jean Industries, Inc., a Delaware corporation, as buyer, and the buyer’s parent, Saint Jean Industries, SAS, a French simplified joint stock company, to sell substantially all of the assets and working capital of our suspension components business for $17.0 million, including a $2.0 million promissory note. The $2.0 million promissory note is due in two equal installments on the 24th and 36th month anniversary dates of the completion date, and bears interest at LIBOR plus 1%, adjusted quarterly. See Note 17 – Discontinued Operations for further discussion of the aluminum suspension components business.

On June 16, 2006, we announced that we were restructuring our chrome plating business located in Fayetteville, Arkansas, that would result in a lay off of approximately 225 employees. The restructuring of the chrome plating business was the result of a shift in customer preference to less expensive bright finishing processes that reduced the sales outlook for chromed wheel products. The shift away from chromed wheel products and the resulting impact on the company’s chrome plating business had been previously disclosed in the fourth quarter of 2005, when the company estimated that it would not be able to eventually recover the carrying value of certain machinery and equipment in the chrome plating operation. Accordingly, such assets were written down to their estimated fair value by recording an asset impairment charge against pretax earnings of $7.9 million in the fourth quarter of 2005. At the same time, an accrual of $1.3 million was recorded for potential environmental exposure related to machinery and equipment shutdown and removal. Any additional environmental costs are not possible to estimate at this time, however an environmental assessment is currently underway. Other costs related to this restructuring were not significant. The out-sourcing of our current and future customer requirements for chrome-plated wheels to a third-party processor was completed by the end of the third quarter of 2006. This restructuring does not affect the company’s bright polish operation, which is located at the same facility.

On September 15, 2006, we announced the planned closure of our wheel manufacturing facility located in Johnson City, Tennessee, and the resulting lay off of approximately 500 employees. The planned closure of the Johnson City facility is expected to be completed in the first quarter of 2007. This was the latest step in our program to rationalize our production capacity after the recent announcements by our customers of sweeping production cuts, particularly

in the light truck and sport utility platforms, that have reduced our requirements for the near future. Accordingly, an asset impairment charge against pretax earnings totaling $4.5 million was recorded in 2006 when we estimated that the future undiscounted cash flows of this facility would not be sufficient to recover the carrying value of our long-lived assets attributable to that facility. Severance and other costs related to the closure of this facility totaled approximately $0.8 million in the fourth quarter of 2006, with an additional $0.7 million expected through the date of closure.

Presentation of Consolidated Financial Statements

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the company and its wholly owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany transactions are eliminated in consolidation. Affiliated 50 percent owned joint ventures are recorded in the financial statements using the equity method of accounting. The carrying value of these equity investments is reported in long-term investments and the company’s equity in net income and losses of these investments is reported in other income and expense.

In 2005, we changed the method of recording our 50 percent share of Suoftec Light Metal Products, Ltd. (Suoftec) earnings from recording on a one-month lag to recording the results of operations on a current basis. The purpose of the change was to have this 50 percent owned subsidiary report on the same basis as our fiscal reporting period, as their financial information is now available on a timely basis. As a result, net income for the year ended December 31, 2005 includes a cumulative effect of accounting change of $1.2 million, representing the company’s share of Suoftec’s net income for the month of December 2004.

We have made a number of estimates and assumptions related to the reporting of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses to prepare these financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Generally, assets and liabilities that are subject to estimation and judgment include the allowance for doubtful accounts, inventory valuation reserves, depreciation and amortization periods of long-lived assets, self-insurance accruals, fair value of stock-based compensation and income taxes. While actual results could differ, we believe such estimates to be reasonable.

Our fiscal year is the 52- or 53-week period ending on the last Sunday of the calendar year. The 2006 fiscal year comprises the 53-week period ended on December 31, 2006. Fiscal years 2005 and 2004 comprise the 52-week periods ended on December 25, 2005 and December 26, 2004, respectively. For convenience of presentation in the consolidated financial statements, all fiscal years are referred to as beginning as of January 1 and ending as of December 31. Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform to the 2006 financial statement presentation.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents generally consist of cash, certificates of deposit, money market funds and short-term highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less. In the fourth quarter of 2006, we revised our policy definition of cash and cash equivalents to include short-term highly liquid investments as cash equivalents, as they represent investments that have been purchased with maturity dates of 90 days or less and generally with maturities of approximately 10 days. As such, they present little risk of changes to their value. Historically, we had presented these highly liquid instruments as “short-term investments” on the balance sheets as they were truly investment vehicles. In recent years, however, our profitability has declined as we were making significant investments in new plants and in restructuring existing facilities. These activities have decreased our cash position to the extent that we are now utilizing these previously classified “short-term investments” to fund current operating requirements interchangeably with other cash equivalents under existing policies. These highly liquid investments will continue to be utilized to meet on-going cash demands for the foreseeable future.

We believe this change in accounting principle to be a preferable method of accounting for these short-term investments as it reflects our intended purpose for these investments. We have, in accordance with SFAS No. 154, “Accounting Changes and Error Corrections”, retrospectively applied this new accounting principle to our prior years’ consolidated balance sheets by restating cash and cash equivalents to include short-term investments of $58.5 million and $28.3 million at the end of 2005 and 2004, respectively. Additionally, the statements of cash flows have been restated to reflect these balances as cash and cash equivalents, and to eliminate their respective proceeds from

sales and purchases during those periods from investing activities. The adoption of this new accounting methodology does not change the underlying economics of our business or these transactions. At times throughout the year and at year-end, cash balances held at financial institutions were in excess of federally insured limits.

Marketable Investments

Marketable debt and equity securities, not classified as cash equivalents, are classified as held-to-maturity or available-for-sale. Securities are classified as held-to-maturity when we have the positive intent and ability to hold the securities to maturity. We record held-to-maturity securities, which are stated at amortized cost, as either short-term or long-term on the balance sheet based upon contractual maturity dates. Securities not classified as held-to-maturity are classified as available-for-sale and are carried at fair market value, with unrealized gains and losses, net of deferred taxes, excluded from operating results and reported in shareholders’ equity as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) until realized, or until any unrealized losses are determined to be other than temporary, at which time the losses would be recognized in our operating results. The fair values of securities are determined based upon quoted market prices. Gains or losses on securities sold are based on the specific identification method.

Marketable securities were comprised as follows (dollars in thousands):

										Net				Balance
						Fair				Unrealized				Sheet
At December 31, 2006		Cost				Value				Gain (Loss)				Amount				Maturity
Current assets:

Total long-term investments		$	11,985			$	13,089			$	1,108			$	13,559

Fair Values of Financial Instruments and Commitments

The carrying amounts for cash and cash equivalents, short-term investments, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued expenses approximate their fair values due to the short period of time until maturity. Fair values of long-term marketable investments and future purchase commitments, which are discussed further in Note 12 – Commitment and Contingent Liabilities, are based upon quoted market prices.

Inventories

Inventories, which are categorized as raw materials, work-in-process or finished goods, are stated at the lower of cost or market using the first-in, first-out method.

Property, Plant and Equipment

     Property, plant and equipment are carried at cost, less accumulated depreciation. The cost of additions, improvements and interest during construction, if any, are capitalized. Our maintenance and repair costs are charged to expense when incurred. Depreciation is calculated generally on the straight-line method based on the estimated useful lives of the assets.

Classification		Expected Useful Life
Computer equipment			3 to 5 years
Production machinery and equipment		7 to 10 years
Buildings		25 years

When property and equipment is replaced, retired or disposed of, the cost and related accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts. Property and equipment no longer used in operations, which are generally insignificant in amount, are stated at the lower of cost or estimated net realizable value. Gains and losses, if any, are recorded in other income or expense in the period of disposition or write down.

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

The company’s policy regarding long-lived assets is to evaluate the recoverability of its assets at least annually or when the facts and circumstances suggest that the assets may be impaired. This assessment of recoverability is performed based on the estimated undiscounted cash flows compared to the carrying value of the assets. If the future cash flows (undiscounted and without interest charges) are less than the carrying value, a write-down would be recorded to reduce the related asset to its estimated fair value. See Note 16 – Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and Other Charges for further discussion of asset impairments.

Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities

We may periodically enter into foreign currency forward contracts to reduce the risk from exchange rate fluctuations associated with future purchase commitments, such as wheel purchases denominated in Euros from our 50 percent owned joint venture in Hungary. This type of hedging activity, which attempts to protect our planned gross margin as of the date of the purchase commitment, qualifies as a cash flow hedge under SFAS No. 133, “Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities.” Accordingly, we assess whether the cash flow hedge is effective both at inception and periodically thereafter. The effective portion of the related gains and losses is recorded as an asset or liability in the consolidated balance sheets with the offset as a component of other comprehensive income (loss) in shareholders’ equity. The ineffective portion of related gains or losses, if any, is reported in current earnings. As hedged transactions are consummated, amounts previously accumulated in other comprehensive income (loss) are reclassified into current earnings. At December 31, 2006, we held no Euro forward contracts. At December 31, 2005, we held Euro forward contracts totaling $10.7 million, with an unrealized loss of $0.2 million.

We also enter into contracts to purchase certain commodities used in the manufacture of our products, such as aluminum, natural gas, environmental emission credits and other raw materials. Such contracts are considered normal purchases as the commodities are physically delivered and, therefore, pursuant to SFAS No. 133 are not accounted for as derivatives. See Note 12 – Commitments and Contingent Liabilities for additional information pertaining to these purchase commitments.

Foreign Currency Transactions

We have foreign operations in Mexico and Hungary that, due to the settlement of accounts receivable and accounts payable, require the transfer of funds denominated in their respective functional currencies – the Mexican Peso, the Euro and the Hungarian Forint. Foreign currency asset and liability accounts are translated using the exchange rates in effect at the end of the accounting period. Revenue and expense accounts are translated at the weighted average of exchange rates during the period. The cumulative effect of translation is recorded as a separate component of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) in shareholders’ equity, as reflected in Note 15 – Other Comprehensive Income (Loss). Foreign exchange transaction gains and (losses) of $(0.0) million, $(0.9) million and $(0.2) million have been recorded as part of other income, net during 2006, 2005 and 2004, respectively.

Revenue Recognition

Sales of products and any related costs are recognized when title and risk of loss transfers to the purchaser, generally upon shipment. Wheel program development revenues and initial tooling that are reimbursed by our customers are recognized as such related costs and expenses are incurred and recoverability is probable, generally upon issuance of a customer purchase order. Wheel program development revenues totaled $19.8 million in 2006, $21.1 million in 2005, and $14.0 million in 2004.

Research and Development

Research and development costs (primarily engineering and related costs), which are expensed as incurred, are normally included in cost of sales in the consolidated statements of operations. Amounts expended during each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2006 were $6.8 million in 2006, $9.6 million in 2005, and $12.9 million in 2004.

Stock-Based Compensation

Effective January 1, 2006, we adopted the fair value recognition provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 123 (revised 2004), “Share-Based Payment” (SFAS 123R), using the modified prospective transition method and, therefore, have not restated results for prior periods. Under this transition method, stock-based compensation expense for the year ended December 31, 2006 includes compensation expense for all stock-based compensation awards granted prior to, but not yet vested as of January 1, 2006, based on the grant date fair value estimated in accordance with the provisions of SFAS 123. For options granted subsequent to January 1, 2006, such expense is in accordance with the provisions of SFAS No. 123R. We recognize these compensation costs on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period of the award, which is generally the option vesting term of four years. Prior to the adoption of SFAS 123R, we recognized stock-based compensation expense in accordance with the intrinsic value method that followed the recognition and measurement principles of Accounting Principles Board (APB) Opinion No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees” (APB 25), and we provided pro forma disclosure amounts in accordance with SFAS No. 148, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation – Transition and Disclosure” (SFAS 148), as if the fair value method defined by SFAS 123 had been applied to our stock-based compensation. In March 2005, the SEC issued Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 107 (SAB 107) regarding the SEC’s interpretation of SFAS 123R and the valuation of share-based payments for public companies. We have applied the provisions of SAB 107 in our adoption of SFAS 123R.

Since the only awards issued under our equity incentive plans have been, and are currently, stock option awards, the stock-based compensation expense recorded in 2006, as detailed in Note 13 – Stock-Based Compensation presents the impact of the adoption of SFAS 123R. This expense is comparable to the, previously disclosed stock-based compensation expense presented as pro forma information in accordance with SFAS 123 and SFAS 148. The table below reflects the pro forma net earnings and basic and diluted earnings per share for the years ended December 31, 2005 and 2004, had we applied the fair value recognition provisions of SFAS 123:

Year Ended December 31,		2005				2004
(Dollars in thousands, except per share amounts)		As restated				As restated
Reported net income (loss)		$	(6,367	)		$	43,804
Stock-based compensation expense included in reported income (loss), net of taxes			531				851
Stock-based compensation expense determined under fair value method for all awards, net of taxes			(5,617	)			(3,596	)
Pro forma net income (loss)		$	(11,453	)		$	41,059

Year Ended December 31,		2005				2004
(Dollars in thousands, except per share amounts)		As restated				As restated
Earnings (loss) per share:
Basic – as reported		$	(0.24	)		$	1.64

Diluted – as reported		$	(0.24	)		$	1.63
Diluted – pro forma		$	(0.43	)		$	1.53

Income Taxes

In accordance with the provisions of FASB SFAS 109, “ Accounting for Income Taxes,” we account for income taxes using the asset and liability method. The asset and liability method requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for expected future tax consequences of temporary differences that currently exist between the tax bases and financial reporting bases of our assets and liabilities. We calculate current and deferred tax provisions based on estimates and assumptions that could differ from actual results reflected on the income tax returns filed during the following years. Adjustments based on filed returns are recorded when identified in the subsequent years.

The effect on deferred taxes for a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period of enactment. In assessing the realizability of deferred tax assets, we consider whether it is more likely than not that some portion of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. A valuation allowance is provided for deferred income taxes when, in our judgment, based upon currently available information and other factors, it is more likely than not that a portion of such deferred income tax assets will not be realized. The determination of the need for a valuation allowance is based on an on-going evaluation of current information including, among other things, estimates of future earnings in different taxing jurisdictions and the expected timing of the deferred income tax asset reversals. We believe that the determination to record a valuation allowance to reduce a deferred income tax assets is a significant accounting estimate because it is based on an estimate of future taxable income in the United States and certain other jurisdictions, which is susceptible to change and may or may not occur, and because the impact of adjusting a valuation allowance may be material.

It is our policy to establish reserves for taxes (included in income taxes payable) that are probable and may become payable in future years as a result of an examination by taxing authorities. We establish reserves based upon management’s assessment associated with permanent tax differences, tax credits and interest expense on adjustments to temporary tax differences. The tax reserves are analyzed at least quarterly, and adjustments are made as events occur to warrant adjustment to the reserve.

Presently we have not recorded a deferred tax liability for temporary differences related to investments in foreign subsidiaries that are essentially permanent in duration. These temporary differences may become taxable upon a repatriation of assets from the subsidiaries or a sale or liquidation of the subsidiaries. At this time the company does not have any plans to repatriate income from their foreign subsidiaries.

Earnings (Loss) Per Share

As summarized below, basic earnings (loss) per share is computed by dividing net income (loss) for the period by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. For purposes of calculating diluted earnings (loss) per share, net income (loss) is divided by the total of the weighted average shares outstanding plus the dilutive effect of our outstanding stock options under the treasury stock method, which includes consideration of stock-based compensation required by SFAS 123R and SFAS 128, “Earnings Per Share.”

(In thousands, except per share amounts)
Year Ended December 31,		2006				2005				2004
						As restated				As restated
Basic Earnings (Loss) Per Share
Reported net income (loss)		$	(9,321	)		$	(6,367	)		$	43,804
Weighted average shares outstanding			26,610				26,614				26,655
Basic earnings (loss) per share		$	(0.35	)		$	(0.24	)		$	1.65
Diluted Earnings (Loss) Per Share
Reported net income (loss)		$	(9,321	)		$	(6,367	)		$	43,804
Weighted average shares outstanding			26,610				26,614				26,655
Weighted average dilutive stock options			—				6				154
Weighted average shares outstanding-diluted			26,610				26,620				26,809
Diluted earnings (loss) per share		$	(0.35	)		$	(0.24	)		$	1.64

The following potential shares of common stock were excluded from the diluted earnings per share calculations because they would have been anti-dilutive due to their exercise prices exceeding the market prices for the respective periods: for the year ended December 31, 2006, options to purchase 2,294,092 shares at prices ranging from $20.23 to $42.87; for the year ended December 31, 2005, options to purchase 2,292,775 shares at prices ranging from $23.81 to $42.87 per share; and for the year ended December 31, 2004, options to purchase 775,925 shares at prices ranging from $33.50 to $42.87 per share.

New Accounting Standards

In November 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued SFAS No. 151, “Inventory Costs,” an amendment of Accounting Research Bulletin (ARB) No. 43, Chapter 4. SFAS No. 151 amends the guidance in ARB No. 43, Chapter 4, “Inventory Pricing,” to clarify the accounting for abnormal amounts of idle facility expense, freight, handling costs, and spoilage. This statement requires that those items be recognized as current period charges regardless of whether they meet the criterion of “so abnormal,” which was the criterion specified in ARB No. 43. In addition, this Statement requires that allocation of fixed production overheads to the cost of production be based on normal capacity of the production facilities. The new standard is effective for inventory costs incurred during fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2005. The adoption of this new accounting standard in 2006 did not have a material impact on our financial position or results of operations.

In June 2006, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation No. 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes, an Interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109” (FIN 48), which clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in accordance with SFAS No. 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes.” This Interpretation prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken on a tax return. This Interpretation also provides guidance on derecognition, classification, interest, penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure and transition. The evaluation of a tax position in accordance with this Interpretation will be a two-step process. The first step will determine if it is more likely than not that a tax position will be sustained upon examination and should therefore be recognized. The second step will measure a tax position that meets the more likely than not recognition threshold to determine the amount of benefit to recognize in the financial statements. This Interpretation is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006. We have commenced but not completed our evaluation of the effect of the adoption of FIN 48. The adoption of FIN 48 may have a significant impact on our shareholders’ equity in the consolidated financial statements as of January 1, 2007.

In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements” (FAS 157). This Statement defines fair value as used in numerous accounting pronouncements, establishes a framework for measuring fair

value in generally accepted accounting principles and expands disclosure related to the use of fair value measures in financial statements. The Statement is to be effective for our financial statements issued in 2008; however, earlier application is encouraged. We are currently evaluating the timing of adoption and the impact that adoption might have on our financial position or results of operations.

In September 2006, the FASB released SFAS No. 158, “Employers’ Accounting for Defined Benefit Pension and Other Postretirement Plans, an amendment of FASB Statements No. 87, 88, 106, and 132(R)” (FAS 158). Under the new standard, companies must recognize a net liability or asset to report the funded status of their defined benefit pension and other postretirement benefit plans on their balance sheets. The recognition and disclosure provisions of SFAS No. 158 were adopted as of December 31, 2006. There was no impact of adopting SFAS No. 158 requirement to measure defined benefit plan assets and obligations as of the date of a company’s fiscal year-end statement of financial position. See Note 10 – Retirement Plan in Item 8 – Financial Statements and Supplementary Data in this Annual Report on Form 10-K for further discussion of defined benefit pension and other postretirement plans.

In September 2006, the SEC staff issued Staff Accounting Bulletin (“SAB”) No. 108, “Considering the Effects of Prior Year Misstatements when Quantifying Misstatements in Current Year Financial Statements.” SAB No. 108 was issued in order to eliminate the diversity of practice surrounding how public companies quantify financial statement misstatements. SAB No. 108 requires registrants to quantify the impact of correcting all misstatements using both the “rollover” method, which focuses primarily on the impact of a misstatement on the income statement, and the “iron curtain” method, which focuses primarily on the effect of correcting the period-end balance sheet. The use of both of these methods is referred to as the “dual approach” and should be combined with the evaluation of qualitative elements surrounding the errors in accordance with SAB No. 99, “Materiality.” The provisions of SAB No. 108 are effective in 2006. The adoption of SAB No. 108 had no impact on our consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, “The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities”, which provides companies with an option to report selected financial assets and liabilities at fair value. The objective of SFAS No. 159 is to reduce both the complexity in accounting for financial instruments and the volatility in earnings caused by measuring related assets and liabilities differently. SFAS No. 159 also establishes presentation and disclosure requirements designed to facilitate comparisons between companies that choose different measurement attributes for similar types of assets and liabilities. SFAS No. 159 is effective fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. We have not completed our evaluation of SFAS No. 159, but we do not expect the adoption of SFAS No. 159 to have a material effect on our operating results or financial position.

Note 2 — Review of Stock Option Practices and Restatements of Consolidated Financial Statements

Review of Stock Option Practices and Restatements of Consolidated Financial Statements

During the fourth quarter of 2006, two shareholder derivative lawsuits were filed against us and certain present and former officers and directors of the company alleging that the defendants (1) improperly backdated stock options of officers and directors, in violation of the company’s shareholder-approved stock option plans; (2) improperly recorded and accounted for the backdated stock options, in violation of generally accepted accounting principles; (3) improperly reported tax deductions based on the backdated stock options, in violation of Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code; and (4) produced and disseminated to shareholders and the market false financial statements and other SEC filings. To evaluate these allegations, under the oversight of the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors, outside counsel and forensic accounting experts (the “Review Team”), thereafter conducted a comprehensive review of our historical stock option grant practices.

The Review Team analyzed approximately 1,125 option grants, involving approximately 3,875,500 options, or 98% of the total options granted, made on 52 separate grant dates between 1997 and 2006. The Review Team also reviewed certain option grants for the time period between 1991 and 1996. Based on this review, we concluded that, for most option grants, there were deficiencies in the process of granting, documenting or accounting for stock options that resulted in our using incorrect measurement dates for financial accounting purposes. These deficiencies included:

	•		For certain option grants, we generally failed to comply with the terms of the applicable stock option plans concerning the timing of option grants. In particular, our 1988 and 1993 Stock Option plans required that any option grants approved by Unanimous Written Consent (“UWC”) be considered granted on the date the last Compensation and Benefits Committee member executed the consent. Instead, we considered options granted, and used a measurement date for accounting purposes, prior to the date on which the last Committee member executed the UWC;
	•		For certain option grants, there was incomplete or missing documentation of the requisite corporate actions. For example, in most cases involving grants made by UWC, the Review Team was not able to locate all of the executed versions of the UWCs and, therefore, could not determine the date the UWC became effective. As a result, we concluded the date of the next Board of Directors meeting, when a duplicate UWC was executed, was the appropriate accounting measurement date;
	•		For certain option grants, we granted options before the completion of required corporate actions. In one instance, a grant to our then CEO and current Chairman of the Board requiring shareholder approval was made before that approval was obtained. In addition, as discussed above, certain grants were made before the approving UWC was finally executed;
	•		For certain option grants, we did not finalize the allocation of the number of options granted to each employee until after the purported grant date;
	•		For certain option grants, we selected a grant date retrospectively to obtain a lower exercise price; and
	•		For certain option grants, we awarded new employees options prior to their actual start date to obtain a lower exercise price.

Under paragraph 10 of Accounting Principles Board Opinion 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees,” the measurement date for determining the compensation cost of a stock option grant is the first date on which both the following are known: (1) the number of options that an individual employee is entitled to receive and (2) the option or purchase price. If the fair market value of the company’s common stock on the measurement date exceeds an option’s exercise price, the company is required to record compensation expense for the difference. Applying these principles, we determined that, after accounting for forfeitures, compensation expense in the pretax amount of $11.1 million should have been recorded over the years 1991 through 2005. Accordingly, we adjusted certain accounts, including retained earnings in the amount of $5.9 million, in the opening balance sheet for fiscal year 2004. After considering all of the quantitative and qualitative factors, these errors are not considered to be material to any one prior period. However, because the cumulative effect of the historical misdated options would be material to the 2006 period, we have restated our prior financial statements based on the guidance in Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 28, “Interim Financial Reporting”, paragraph 29 and SEC SAB Topic 5F, “Accounting Changes Not Retroactively Applied Due to Immateriality.”

Based on the Review Team’s findings, we also concluded that none of the members of the Board of Directors or senior management engaged in intentional or fraudulent misconduct in connection with the option granting issues identified by the Review Team. This conclusion was based on the determination that (1) a majority of the deficiencies were administrative in nature and not the result of deliberate conduct; (2) to the extent hindsight was used to select grant dates with lower exercise prices, our current Chief Executive Officer and our current Chairman of the Board did not benefit financially or appreciate the related accounting implications of such actions; and (3) while our Chief Financial Officer was aware of the use of hindsight to select option grant dates with lower exercise prices and had personally obtained some financial benefit from exercising these misdated options, after considering all related positive and negative factors, the Review Team found that he did not appear to have appreciated fully, the accounting implications of the misdated option grants. The stock-based compensation expense required to be recorded due to retrospectively obtaining a lower exercise price, which would have been recorded over the four-year vesting period, approximated $3.7 million for option grants totaling 645,100 shares.

Additionally, based on the Review Team’s findings, the Board of Directors approved certain remediation and corporate governance measures to address the deficiencies identified by the Review Team and to align our option-granting processes with prevailing best practices and generally accepted accounting principles.

Restatement and Impact on Financial Statements

In addition to restating the consolidated financial statements in response to the Review Team’s findings, we also 1) reclassified the operations of the aluminum suspension components business to discontinued operations due to the decision reached in 2006 to sell that business (see Note 17 – Discontinued Operations in Item 8 – Financial Statements and Supplementary Data) and 2) reclassified certain short-term investments to “cash and cash equivalents” in conjunction with an accounting policy change, affected during 2006, described under “Cash and Cash Equivalents” in Note 1 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies in Item 8 – Financial Statements and Supplementary Data. For the fiscal years 2005 and prior, we previously had not recorded stock-based compensation expenses; therefore, the additional stock based-compensation noted below represents the total stock-based compensation expense for these periods. The impact to the statement of operations of the stock-based compensation restatement is as follows (in thousands):

						Stock-Based								Stock-Based
		Net Income,				Compensation								Compensation

Fiscal Year		Reported				Net of Tax				as Restated				Pretax

2005		$	(5,836	)			(531	)		$	(6,367	)		$	(817	)
