COMMONWEALTH INDUSTRIES, INC. Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited) 1. Basis of Presentation The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements are presented in accordance with the requirements of Form 10-Q and consequently do not include all the disclosures normally required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Commonwealth Industries, Inc.'s (the "Company's") customary accounting practices and have not been audited. In the opinion of management, all adjustments necessary to fairly present the results of operations for the reporting interim periods have been made and were of a normal recurring nature. As a result of the Company's sale of its Alflex subsidiary which comprised its electrical products segment, the assets, liabilities, results of operations and cash flows of the electrical products segment have been reported separately as discontinued operations in the Company's condensed consolidated financial statements and previously reported amounts have been restated to present consistently the discontinued operations. See note 15, "Discontinued Electrical Products Segment Operations" for additional information. The sale was completed on July 30, 2004. 2. Stock-Based Compensation At SeptemberJune 30, 2003,2004, the Company had stock-based compensation plans which are described more fully in note 14 to the consolidated financial statements included in the Company's annual report to stockholders for the year ended December 31, 2002.2003. As permitted by Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation" ("SFAS No. 123"), the Company follows the provisions of Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees," and related Interpretations in accounting for its stock option plans under the intrinsic value based method. Accordingly, no stock-based compensation expense has been recognized for stock options issued under the plans as all stock options granted under the plans had an exercise price equal to the market value of the underlying common stock on the date of grant. Had compensation expense been determined based on the fair value of the stock options at the grant date consistent with the provisions of SFAS No. 123, the Company's net loss and basic and diluted net loss per share would have been increased for the three months and ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 20032004 and the nine months ended September 30, 2002 and the Company's net income and basic and diluted net income per share would have been reduced for the three months ended September 30, 20022003 to the pro forma amounts which follow (in thousands except per share data): Three months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2004 2003 2002 ---- ---- Net income (loss) as reported $2,908 $6,076$(23,101) $(1,871) Less total stock-based employee compensation expense determined under fair value method for all awards, net of related tax effects 50 110 ------ ------(22) 104 --------- -------- Pro forma net income $2,858 $5,966 ====== ======(loss) $(23,079) $(1,975) ========= ======== Basic net income (loss) per share As reported $0.18 $0.38$(1.44) $(0.12) Pro forma 0.18 0.37(1.44) (0.12) Diluted net income (loss) per share As reported $0.18 $0.38$(1.44) $(0.12) Pro forma 0.18 0.37 Nine(1.44) (0.12) Six months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2004 2003 2002 ---- ---- Net income (loss) as reported $(5,456) $(22,576)$(20,227) $(8,364) Less total stock-based employee compensation expense determined under fair value method for all awards, net of related tax effects 234 297 -------108 184 --------- -------- Pro forma net income (loss) $(5,690) $(22,873) =======$(20,335) $(8,548) ========= ======== Basic net income (loss) per share As reported $(0.34) $(1.41)$(1.26) $(0.52) Pro forma (0.36) (1.43)(1.27) (0.53) Diluted net income (loss) per share As reported $(0.34) $(1.40)$(1.26) $(0.52) Pro forma (0.36) (1.43)(1.27) (0.53) 3. Receivables Purchase Agreement On September 26, 1997, the Company sold all of its trade accounts receivablesreceivable to a 100% owned subsidiary, Commonwealth Financing Corp. ("CFC"). Simultaneously, CFC entered into a three-year receivables purchase agreement with a financial institution and its affiliate whereby CFC can sell, on a revolving basis, an undivided interest in certain of its receivables and receive up to $150.0 million from an unrelated third party purchaser at a cost of funds linked to commercial paper rates plus a charge for administrative and credit support services. The Company services the receivables for a fee in accordance with the receivables purchase agreement. In addition, under the agreement, the receivables are sold with no recourse to the Company and the Company records no discount on the sale of the receivables. During September 2000, the Company and the financial institution extended the receivables purchase agreement for an additional three-year period ending in September 2003 and in2003. In October 2002, the Company extended the agreement for an additional year ending in September 2004. In addition during2004 and in February 2004, extended the agreement through the end of March 2005. During September 2001, the Company and the financial institution agreed to reduce the maximum amount which can be outstanding under the agreement to $95.0 million and in October 2003 the availability was further reduced to $60.0 million. In February 2004, the availability was increased to $80.0 million and in May 2004 was increased to $100 million. At SeptemberJune 30, 20032004 and 2002,December 31, 2003, the Company had outstanding under the agreement $40.0$100.0 million and $20.0$60.0 million, respectively, and had $81.6$36.3 million and $100.2$44.9 million, respectively, of net residual interest in the receivables sold. The net residual interest in the receivables sold has been reduced by $23.3 million and $19.3 million, respectively, at June 30, 2004 and December 31, 2003, for the portion of the net residual interest that relates to the Company's discontinued electrical products segment and was included in the current assets of discontinued operations on the condensed consolidated balance sheet. The fair value of the net residual interest iswas measured at the time of the sale and is based on the sale of similar assets.

7. Financial Instruments and Hedging Activities The Company enters into futures contracts, forward contracts and options to manage exposures to price risk related to aluminum and natural gas purchases. The Company has designated the futures contracts and forward contracts as cash flow hedges of anticipated aluminum raw material and natural gas requirements, respectively. For the second quarter ending June 30,last three quarters of the year ended December 31, 2003 and the third quarter ending September 30, 2003,first two quarters of 2004, the Company's aluminum futures contracts did not meet certain "effectiveness" requirements set forth in Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities", including Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 138, "Accounting for Certain Derivative Instruments and Certain Hedging Activities - an amendment of FASB Statement No. 133" ("SFAS No. 133"). Refererence is made to the "Business Overview" section included in the Management's Discussion and Analaysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations in this report for additional information. Accordingly, as prescribed by the provisions of SFAS No. 133, the derivative instruments used as hedges were marked-to-market and the gains and losses during the second and thirdlast three quarters of 2003 and the first two quarters of 2004 were recorded currently in the consolidated statement of operations instead of being deferred in other comprehensive income and included in income when the underlying hedged transactions occur. The Company's natural gas futures continue to be deemed "effective" per SFAS No. 133 and accordingly the gains and losses on these financial instruments are deferred in other comprehensive income and included in income when the underlying hedged transactions occur. As of SeptemberJune 30, 2003,2004, the Company had $0.2$7.8 million of deferred net lossesgains recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income. Over the next twelve months, approximately $0.6$5.4 million of deferred net gains are expected to be reclassified from other comprehensive income into net income as a reduction of cost of goods sold. As of SeptemberJune 30, 2003,2004, the Company held open aluminum and natural gas futures and forward contracts and aluminum options having maturity dates extending through December 2005.March 2007. A net gainloss of $1.1$4.6 million and $1.5$1.6 million was recognized as a reductionan increase in cost of goods sold during the three months and ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2003,2004, respectively, and a net lossgain of $0.05$0.7 million and $0.16$0.4 million was recognized inas a reduction of cost of goods sold during the three months and ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2002,2003, respectively, representing the amount of the hedges' ineffectiveness. 8. Goodwill Effective January 1, 2002, the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 142, "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets" ("SFAS No. 142"). The Statement addresses financial accounting and reporting for acquired goodwill and other intangible assets and supersedes Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 17, "Intangible Assets" and amends Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 121, "Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to Be Disposed Of" ("SFAS No. 121"), to exclude from its scope goodwill and intangible assets that are not amortized. SFAS No. 121 was subsequently superseded by Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 144, "Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets ("SFAS No. 144"). SFAS No. 142 addresses how goodwill and other intangible assets should be accounted for after they have been initially recognized in the financial statements. Under SFAS No. 142, goodwill is no longer to be amortized but reviewed for impairment annually or more frequently if certain indicators arise, using a two-step approach. SFAS No. 142 was effective January 1, 2002 and the Company was required to complete step one of a transitional impairment test by June 30, 2002 and to complete step two of the transitional impairment test, if step one indicates that the reporting unit's carrying value exceeds its fair value, by December 31, 2002. Any impairment loss resulting from the transitional impairment test was required to be recorded as a cumulative effect of a change in accounting principle in the quarter ended March 31, 2002. Any subsequent impairment losses will be reflected in operating income in the consolidated statement of operations. The net goodwill balances attributable to each of the Company's reporting units were tested for impairment by comparing the fair value of each reporting unit to its carrying value. Fair value was determined by using the valuation technique of calculating the present value of estimated expected future cash flows (using a discount rate commensurate with the risks involved). Based upon the transitional impairment test performed upon adoption of SFAS No. 142, the Company recorded a goodwill impairment loss of $25.3 million ($13.5 million in its aluminum segment and $11.8 million in its discontinued electrical products segment). As required by SFAS No. 142 and as previously described, the Company recorded the goodwill write-down as a cumulative effect of a change in accounting principle as of January 1, 2002 and restated the Company's first quarter 2002 financial results. During the fourth quarter of 2003, the Company performed its annual impairment review of the Company's remaining goodwill balance relating to the discontinued Alflex electrical products segment and determined that an additional goodwill impairment write-down of $29.6 million was necessary. The impairment loss was due to increased competition in the electrical products industry which lowered the operating profits and cash flows during 2003 over what had been expected. Based upon this trend, the long-term earnings and cash flow forecasts were revised. The following displays the changes in the carrying amount of goodwill in each of the Company's reportable segments for the three months ended Marchsince December 31, 20022001 (in thousands). There have beenwere no further changes in the carrying amount of goodwill since March 31, 2002:during the six months ended June 30, 2004 and 2003:

The aluminum segment manufactures common alloy aluminum sheet for distributors and the transportation, construction, and consumer durables end-use markets. The electrical products segment manufacturesmanufactured flexible electrical wiring products for the commercial construction and do-it-yourself markets. The accounting policies of the reportable segments are the same as those described in Note 1, "Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies" in the Company's annual report to stockholdersSee note 15, "Discontinued Electrical Products Segment Operations" for the year ended December 31, 2002. All intersegment sales prices are market based. The Company evaluates the performance of its operating segments based upon operating income. The Company's reportable segments are strategic business units that offer different products to different customer groups. They are managed separately because each business requires different technology and marketing strategies. Summarized financial information concerning the Company's reportable segments is shown in the following table for the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2003 and 2002 (in thousands). The "Other" column includes corporate related items, including elimination of intersegment transactions, and as it relates to segment operating income, income and expense not allocated to reportable segments. Certain expenses and assets relating to information technology which prior to the first quarter of 2003 had been allocated to reportable segments are no longer being allocated. Prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform with current classifications.

Combining13. Contingencies The Company disclosed in its annual report to stockholders for the year ended December 31, 2003 that Goldendale Aluminum Company ("Goldendale Aluminum") had filed for bankruptcy protection in December 2003. The Company still cannot presently quantify any additional liability that may be incurred as a result of Goldendale Aluminum's bankruptcy filing. Reference is made to footnote 13 "Contingencies" in the Company's annual report to stockholders for the year ended December 31, 2003 for additional information. 14. Recently Issued Accounting Standards In January 2003, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Financial Accounting Standards Board Interpretation No. 46, "Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities, an Interpretation of ARB No. 51" ("FIN 46"), and issued a revision in December 2003. This Interpretation of Accounting Research Bulletin No. 51, "Consolidated Financial Statements," requires certain variable interest entities to be consolidated by the primary beneficiary of the entity if the equity investors in the entity do not have the characteristics of a controlling financial interest or do not have sufficient equity at risk for the entity to finance its activities without additional subordinated financial support from other parties. FIN 46 was effective for the Company in the quarter ending March 31, 2004. The Statement's initial adoption did not have a material impact on the Company's results of operations or financial position. In December 2003, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of Cash FlowsFinancial Accounting Standard No. 132 (revised 2003), "Employers' Disclosures about Pensions and Other Postretirement Benefits". The Statement requires additional disclosures about an employer's pension plans and postretirement benefits plans such as: the types of plan assets, investment strategy, measurement date, plan obligations, cash flows, and components of net periodic benefit cost recognized during interim periods. See notes 9 and 10 to the condensed consolidated financial statements for the ninerequired additional disclosures for interim periods. In January 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Staff Position No. FAS 106-1, "Accounting and Disclosure Requirements Related to the Medicare Prescription Drug, Improvement and Modernization Act of 2003" ("FSP FAS 106-1"). FSP FAS 106-1 allowed companies to assess the effect of the Medicare Prescription Drug, Improvement and Modernization Act of 2003 ("the Act") on their postretirement benefit obligations and costs and reflect the effects in their financial statements, pursuant to SFAS No. 106, "Employer's Accounting for Postretirement Benefits Other Than Pensions." Companies were also allowed to make a one-time election to defer accounting for the effects of the Act until authoritative guidance is issued. The guidance in FSP FAS 106-1 was effective for years ending after December 7, 2003. In accordance with FSP FAS 106-1, the accumulated postretirement benefit obligation and net periodic postretirement benefit expense (income) in the Company's consolidated financial statements do not reflect the effects of the Act on the Company's postretirement health care plan. In addition, specific authoritative guidance on the accounting for the federal subsidy, one of the provisions of the Act, is pending, and that guidance, when issued, could require the Company to change previously reported information. Additionally, in May 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Staff Position No. FAS 106-2, "Accounting and Disclosure Requirements Related to the Medicare Prescription Drug, Improvement and Modernization Act of 2003" ("FSP FAS 106-2"). FSP FAS 106-2 supersedes FSP FAS 106-1 and will be effective for the Company in the third quarter of 2004. FSP FAS 106-2 provides guidance on the accounting for the effects of the Act for employers that sponsor postretirement health care plans the provide drug benefits and also requires those employers to provide certain disclosures regarding the effect of the federal subsidy provided by the Act. 15. Discontinued Electrical Products Segment Operations On June 4, 2004, the Company entered into an agreement to sell its Alflex subsidiary, which comprises its Electrical Products Segment, to Southwire Company. The sale was completed on July 30, 2004. Summary operating results for the discontinued operations follows (in thousands):

Subsequent Event On July 30, 2004, the Company completed the disposition of its Alflex subsidiary, which comprised its Electrical Products Segment, to Southwire Company pursuant to a stock purchase agreement. The cash consideration received by the Company was $64.0 million (subject to final adjustment upon verification of the actual value of property, plant and equipment and working capital, as set forth in the stock purchase agreement.) 17. Pending Merger On June 17, 2004, the Company and IMCO Recycling Inc. ("IMCO") announced that they had entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger pursuant to which a newly formed indirect wholly owned subsidiary of IMCO will merge with and into the Company, and as a result, the Company will become a wholly owned indirect subsidiary of IMCO. Terms of the Merger Agreement call for the Company's stockholders to receive 0.815 IMCO shares in exchange for each of their Company shares. The merger is expected to close in the fourth quarter of 2004, subject to the approval of the stockholders of both companies, approval under the Hart Scott Rodino Act, refinancing of indebtedness and other customary closing conditions. 18. Restructuring Charges During the second quarter of 2004, the Company recorded restructuring charges of $15.2 million including $2.2 million inventory write-downs included in cost of goods sold on the condensed consolidated statement of operations and $15.5 million for the six months ended SeptemberJune 30, 20022004. The restructuring costs are related to new management's initial efforts to improve profitability by eliminating under-performing operations and streamlining overhead, as well as costs associated with the proposed merger with IMCO, which is expected to close in the fourth quarter of 2004. During the quarter, the Company closed its tube manufacturing facility in Kings Mountain, North Carolina, to focus on its core aluminum sheet and recycling operations and eliminate an unprofitable product line. Total production of tube, fabrication operations and assembly of retail products ceased on June 30, 2004. Estimated costs for the closure are approximately $7.2 million including severance costs, fixed asset and inventory write-downs, present value of equipment lease obligations and various other closing costs. $5.8 million of closure costs were recorded in the second quarter of 2004, with the balance expected to be recorded in the third quarter of this year. The departure of the former chief executive officer and other key executives related to the upcoming merger with IMCO, represent the initial steps in streamlining overhead costs, resulting in a charge of $6.4 million for severance costs in the second quarter. In addition, the Company recorded $3.0 million of merger-related charges in the second quarter of 2004 and $0.4 million in the first quarter of 2004. A summary of the significant components of the restructuring charges for the six months ended June 30, 2004 is as follows (in thousands):

Stock Incentives During June 2004, the Company awarded 220,000 shares of restricted common stock to certain new members of management. The awards were recorded in the stockholders' equity section of the condensed consolidated balance sheet by increasing the combined amounts of common stock and additional paid in capital by $2.1 million with a corresponding charge to unearned compensation. The unearned compensation amount is being amortized over the vesting period of the restricted stock. The unearned compensation balance at June 30, 2004 was $2.0 million. 20. Revolving Credit Agreement The Company has a $30 million revolving credit facility that expires on March 31, 2005. At June 30, 2004, $18.3 million was available, as the outstanding amounts against the credit facility were $3.1 million of standby letters of credit and $8.6 million of borrowings. Availability of advances under the $30 million revolving credit facility is dependent on the continued satisfaction of certain financial covenants contained in the revolving credit agreement. In the quarter ended June 30, 2004, the Company determined that an amendment to its credit agreement pertaining to certain financial covenants would be necessary to avoid a breach of the credit agreement. The Company obtained the necessary amendment, which was effective as of June 30, 2004, in July 2004. Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations This section should be read in conjunction with the condensed consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in item 1 of this report in addition to the consolidated financial statements of the Company and the notes thereto included in the Company's annual report to stockholders for the year ended December 31, 2002,2003, including footnote 1 which describes the Company's significant accounting policies including its use of estimates.

Also refer to Form S-4 Registration Statement filed by IMCO Recycling Inc. with the Securities and Exchange Commission on July 21, 2004 for detailed information on the merger transaction. Special Charges Announcement On July 21, 2004 the Company announced that it expected to incur second quarter 2004 restructuring charges of approximately $15.2 million, consisting of $6.4 million employee severance costs (including costs relating to separation agreements with Mark V. Kaminski, former chief executive officer; Lenna Ruth Macdonald, former vice president, general counsel and secretary; and Gregory P. Givan, former vice president and treasurer), $5.8 million in costs relating to closure of its aluminum segment tube manufacturing products line and $3.0 million in merger-related costs. The Company recorded these charges in the 2004 second quarter, of which approximately $12.9 million is shown as a " restructuring charges" line item and $2.2 million is included in cost of goods sold in the Company's condensed consolidated statement of operations herein. See note 18 "Restructuring Charges" in the condensed consolidated financial statements for additional information. The Company also announced in the same release that it expected to incur additional costs of $3.3 million in connection with the sale of its Alflex electrical products business (inclusive of $1.0 million income tax expense). Actual costs recorded in the second quarter 2004 financial statements herein are $2.6 million, or $0.7 million lower than estimated by the Company, as the result of the Company's incurring lower employee severance costs than estimated. See note 15 "Discontinued Electrical Products Segment Operations" in the condensed consolidated financial statements for additional information. Business Overview The Company operates in one business, the aluminum business after having disposed of the Company's electrical products business in July 2004. See note 15 "Discontinued Electrical Products Segment Operations" in the condensed consolidated financial statements for additional information. The aluminum business manufactures non-heat treat coiledcoil aluminum sheet forproducts, generally referred to as common alloy products, that are sold through distributors and theto end-users, principally in building and construction, transportation, construction and consumer durables and welded tube product markets, however, the Company closed its tube manufacturing facility at the end use marketsof June 2004 and electrical flexible conduitexited that product line. See note 18 "Restructuring Charges" in the condensed consolidated financial statements for additional information. The aluminum business is highly cyclical in nature and prewired armored cableis affected by global economic conditions, market competition, product development and commercialization and other such factors that influence supply and demand for the commercial construction and renovation markets.products produced by the Company. The Company's principal raw materials are aluminum scrap, primary aluminum copper and steel. Trends in the demand for aluminum sheet products in the United States and in the prices of primary aluminum primary metal and aluminum scrap and copper commodities affect the business of the Company. The Company's operating results also are affected by factors specific to the Company, such as the margins between selling prices for its products and its cost of raw materialmaterials ("material margins") and its unit cost of converting raw materialmaterials into its products ("conversion cost"). While changes in the London Metal Exchange ("LME") aluminum and copper prices can cause the Company's net sales to changevary significantly from period to period, net income is more directly impacted by the fluctuationfluctuations in material margins. Duringmargins and conversion cost. The price of aluminum metal affects the first nine months of 2003, shipmentsprice of the Company's products and in the longer term can have an effect on the competitive position of aluminum in relation to alternative materials. The price of primary metal is determined largely by worldwide supply and demand conditions and is highly cyclical. The price of primary aluminum in world markets greatly influences the price of aluminum scrap, the Company's principal raw material. Significant movements in the price of primary aluminum can affect the Company's margins, however, aluminum sheet prices do not always move simultaneously nor necessarily to the same degree as the primary markets. The Company seeks to manage its material margins by focusing on higher margin products decreasedand by 18%sourcing the scrap and primary metal markets in the most cost-effective manner. An important element in the Company's management of its material margins involves the use of futures contracts to hedge the Company's exposure to the risk of changes in aluminum prices. The use of futures contracts to hedge the Company's exposure to changes in aluminum prices can best be understood by following aluminum metal sales/purchases flows. Aluminum metal sold to customers is typically priced by industry participants, including the Company, at a market-based cents-per-pound differential ("rolling margin") over the prevailing market price of a base-reference primary metal type ("P1020"). The rolling margin differs for each coil type sold, depending on the specifications of the metal, the cost of manufacturing the metal, and by prevailing supply and demand conditions, as reflected by competitors' price offerings and general economic trends. The base-reference primary metal, P1020, is used in the sales pricing formula because of its widespread acceptance as a reference value for the price of primary aluminum. The P1020 price is determined in the market by the market price of primary aluminum sold on the LME commodity market, plus a market-based cents-per-pound price differential ("Mid-West Premium") covering the cost of transportation from the first nine months of 2002 due to weak economic conditions, however third quarter 2003 shipments have trended upwardsmelter to the highest levelMidwestern United States. On the raw materials side of the business, the Company purchases the great majority of its scrap aluminum and its primary aluminum at a discount or premium to the prevailing LME price, the particular differential in 2003 having increased 10% overeach case based on the second quarterqualities of the type of metal being purchased. (Discounts from LME relating to scrap aluminum purchases are generally referred to as "scrap spreads"). Like its counterpart base-reference P1020 for sales transactions, the LME serves as a base-reference for raw material purchase transactions in the industry because of its widespread acceptance as a value indicator. Since the P1020 market price used to set selling prices is itself directly linked to the market price of LME as described in the preceding paragraph, the LME serves as a common component in pricing both raw material purchases and finished product sales. Common use of the LME as a component in both purchase and sale pricing practices enables the Company to substantially, but not exactly, "lock-in" material margins on its sales without simultaneously buying physical metal to satisfy customers' fixed price sales orders. This is accomplished by the Company's purchase of LME futures contracts, which serve as economic substitutes for physical metal purchases, at the same time that selling prices are fixed. (When the metal to satisfy the fixed price sale commitments is physically purchased and fixed in price the LME futures contracts are sold, resulting in an economically effective cash flow hedge of the metal component of the transactions at issue.) The Company's metal hedging practices have several distinct advantages. The foremost of these advantages is that by executing the hedge strategy described the Company can continue to make fixed price sales for delivery to customers in future periods without assuming the significant metal price risk associated with changes in the LME. If the Company did not hedge its future metal delivery commitments by purchasing futures contracts on the LME, the Company, alternatively, could avoid metal price risk by simultaneously buying physical metal to match its future sales commitments; however, this approach would significantly increase the Company's working capital requirements to accommodate the inventory purchases and create serious logistical storage and transportation problems. If the Company were to assume metal price risk, by neither hedging its fixed price sales commitments with futures contracts nor simultaneously buying physical metal, its exposure to metal price changes could threaten the Company's solvency in periods of metal price fluctuations. Despite the obvious benefit (in an economic and cash flow sense) of employing LME futures contracts to hedge its metal purchases, the Company notes that the accounting treatment accorded hedge gains/losses realized during the last three quarters of 2003 and 6% over the first quartertwo quarters of 2003. Contributing to the nine-month decline in aluminum shipments was planned equipment downtime for maintenance and capital improvement outages during the first quarter of 2003. Despite the decreased aluminum shipments, material margins for the first nine months of 2003 were higher than the first nine months of 2002 helping to partially offset the sales volume decline. The improvement in margin was principally the outcome of initiatives to: maintain selling price increases introduced in the first quarter of 2003; increase the volume of product available for the Company's higher value added products; and continue to actively pursue new customers and new markets offering higher margin opportunities than the Company's traditional high volume commodity markets. In addition, the material margin was favorably impacted2004 required that such gains/losses be marked-to-market as prescribed by a third quarter 2003 gain of approximately $1.1 million or $0.07 per share relating to certain aluminum hedge transactions. The Company determined that hedges in place during the quarter to reduce its exposure to aluminum price fluctuations did not meet certain "effectiveness" requirements set forth in Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 133 ("SFAS No. 133"). Accordingly,This mark-to-market treatment resulted from a determination that the hedges did not meet certain "effectiveness" requirements that would have enabled such realized gains/losses to be recorded in other comprehensive income for later reclassification into cost of goods sold when the hedged transactions occur. The "effectiveness" standard required to be met for deferral treatment of the hedge gains/losses is predicated on a statistically based high degree of correlation between price changes in the metal purchases being hedged and price changes in the hedge instruments, the LME futures contracts. The requisite correlation was not met during the last three quarters of 2003 and the first two quarters of 2004 due to the fact that the variability in price changes relating to metal purchases being hedged (principally scrap spreads) did not move in tandem with price changes in the LME futures contracts to the degree that would statistically demonstrate the requisite correlation. Recognizing in income rather than deferring the hedge gains/losses as prescribedrequired by the provisions of SFAS No. 133 had the derivative instruments used as hedges were marked-to-market, giving riseeffect of increasing 2003 material margins, pretax income and net income by approximately $7.0 million, that otherwise would have been recorded in other comprehensive income and matched to hedged metal purchases in 2004. Consequently, 2004 material margins when the $1.1hedged transactions occur have been and will be adversely affected by the $7.0 million gain. Demandwhich was required under SFAS No. 133 to be recognized in 2003 (see the section entitled "Risk Management" for additional information regarding the Company's electrical products decreased duringhedging programs.) The Company had estimated at the end of 2003 that, absent any other effects that arise from 2004 transactions, the $7.0 million adverse impact in 2004 would be distributed approximately $3.3 million in the first nine months of 2003. Shipments were down 6% compared to the first nine months of 2002 reflecting weaknessquarter, $1.7 million in key markets in the electrical products sector, particularly commercial construction, however third quarter 2003 shipments increased 12% compared to shipments for the second quarter, of 2003 reflecting a strengthening of demand$1.2 million in the commercial construction market even though net selling prices were lower. Material margins for the first nine months of 2003 decreased 15% from the first nine months of 2002. Lower net selling prices due to the competitive price environment combined with higher material costs resulted in the decrease in material margins for the first nine months of 2003 versus the first nine months of 2002. While manufacturing costs per foot were up for the nine-month period 2003 versus the same period in 2002, manufacturing costs per foot for the third quarter 2003and $0.8 million in the fourth quarter. During the first two quarters of 2004, mark-to-market changes in the carrying value of the futures contracts and new transactions were down comparedentered into which increased material margins, pretax income and net income by approximately $3.4 million, the effect of which was to partially offset the $5.0 million loss carried over from 2003. At June 30, 2004, the cumulative mark-to-market adjustments described herein have the effect of reducing future period material margins by approximately $5.5 million (excluding the effects of new mark-to-market adjustments arising in the future). The $5.5 million adverse impact would be distributed approximately $2.9 million in the third quarter of 20022004, $2.2 million in the fourth quarter of 2004 and $0.4 million in 2005. During the second quarter and first half of 2003 primarily2004, shipments of the Company's aluminum sheet products increased by 35% and 33%, respectively, from the prior year periods due to lower overtime labor, group insurance and workers compensation insurance costs.strengthening in certain markets. During the second quarter of 2003, the Company implemented changes to its postretirement medical insurance program applicable to all non-bargaining unit Kentucky employees, limiting eligibility and increasing premiums. Because of these changes, the Company realized a second quarter benefit of approximately $2.5$6.5 million after tax or $0.16$0.40 per share andin 2003 with the benefit allocated approximately one-half as a third quarter benefit of approximately $2.0 million after tax or $0.12 per share. The Company recognized the second quarter and third quarter benefits as reductions of approximately $1.3 million and $1.0 million, respectively,reduction in cost of goods sold and $1.2 million and $1.0 million, respectively,one-half in selling, general and administrative expenses. In addition to the effect on 2003, the secondCompany realized a benefit of approximately $2.1 million after tax or $0.13 per share in the both the first and thirdsecond quarter of 2003, the Company2004 and estimates that net income will be increased approximately $2.0$8.3 million infor the fourth quarter of 2003, approximately $8.3 millionfull year in 2004 and approximately $1.7 million in 2005. During the second quarter of 2002, the Company completed its transitional test of goodwill upon adoption of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 142, "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets" ("SFAS No. 142"). Pursuant to this test, the Company recorded a charge of $25.3 million or $1.58 per diluted share (before and after tax), as a cumulative effect of a change in accounting principle, to reflect the impairment of goodwill on the balance sheet as of January 1, 2002. During the fourth quarter of 2003, the Company will be conducting its annual impairment review of the Company's remaining goodwill balance of $48.9 million relating to the Company's Alflex electrical products reporting unit. See the caption entitled "Cumulative effect of change in accounting principle" in the following section and note 8 to the condensed consolidated financial statements for additional information. Application of Critical Accounting Policies The Company's discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operation is based upon the Company's condensed consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts 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 results could differ from those estimates. The Company's most critical accounting policies require the use of estimates relating to the valuation of property, plant and equipment and goodwill, assumptions and methodology for assessing hedge effectiveness regarding aluminum and natural gas futures contracts, forward contracts and options, assumptions for computing pension and postretirement benefits obligations, allowance for uncollectible accounts receivable, assumptions for computing workers'compensation liabilities and environmental liabilities. See the caption entitled "Application of Critical Accounting Policies" in the Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations section of the Company's annual report to stockholders for the year ended December 31, 20022003 for additional information. Results of Operations for the three months and ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 20032004 and 20022003 Net Sales. Net sales for the quarter ended SeptemberJune 30, 2003 decreased 2%2004, increased 44% to $248$279.5 million (including $27$5.8 million sales to the discontinued electrical products segment) from Alflex) from $254$194.2 million (including $30$4.1 million from Alflex)sales to the discontinued electrical products segment) for the same period in 2002.2003. The decrease isincrease was due to the combined effect of lowerhigher aluminum and electrical product shipments and lowerhigher net selling prices of electrical products which more than offset an increasealuminum. As mentioned previously, the increased aluminum shipments were primarily due to strengthening in net selling prices of aluminum products.the building and construction, distribution and transportation markets. Unit sales volume of aluminum decreased 16%increased 35% to 195.4247.4 million pounds (including 5.2 million pounds sold to the discontinued electrical products segment) for the thirdsecond quarter of 20032004 from 232.8183.0 million pounds (including 4.8 million pounds sold to the discontinued electrical products segment) for the thirdsecond quarter of 2002. Alflex unit sales volume was 124.5 million feet for the third quarter of 2003, a decrease of 4% versus 130.3 million feet for the comparable period in 2002. As mentioned previously, the decreased aluminum and electrical product shipments were due to difficult business conditions in both businesses.2003. Net sales for the nine-monthsix-month period ended SeptemberJune 30, 2003,2004, were $675$537.7 million (including $77$11.9 million from Alflex)sales to the discontinued electrical products segment), a 7% decrease39% increase from the $728$385.9 million (including $8.5 million sales to the discontinued electrical products segment) recorded in the first nine monthshalf of 2002 (including $86 million from Alflex).2003. The decrease isincrease was due to the combined effect of lowerhigher aluminum and electrical product shipments and lower net selling prices of electrical products which more than offset an increase inhigher net selling prices of aluminum products. Unit sales volume of aluminum was 557.3494.9 million pounds for(including 10.8 million pounds sold to the nine months of 2003, a decrease of 18% from the 680.2 million poundsdiscontinued electrical products segment) for the first nine monthshalf of 2002. Alflex unit sales volume was 350.92004, an increase of 33% from the 371.9 million feetpounds (including 10.0 million pounds sold to the discontinued electrical products segment) for the first nine monthshalf of 2003, a decrease of 6%, versus 374.8 million feet for the comparable period in 2002. As mentioned previously, the decreased aluminum and electrical product shipments were due to difficult business conditions in both businesses.2003. Gross Profit. (All gross profit comparisons exclude Alflex, which is reported under discontinued operations) Gross profit for the quarter ended SeptemberJune 30, 2003,2004 decreased to $16.4$4.9 million (6.6%(1.8% of net sales) from $19.4$9.2 million (7.6%(4.8% of net sales) for the same period in 2002. Gross profit for the nine months ended September 30, 2003 was $37.9 million (5.6% of net sales) versus $45.6 million (6.3% of net sales) for the comparable period in 2002. Contributing to the third quarter and nine-month decreases in2003. The gross profit were decreases in both the Aluminum business and Alflex. The Aluminum business gross profit declined in both the third quarter and nine-month period compared to the prior year periods primarilydecrease is due to lower shipment volumes, partially offset bya combination of factors, including the combinedunfavorable effects of improved material margins, the mark-to-market hedge adjustments mentioned previously and a $2.2 million inventory write-down related to closure of the tube product line. Partially offsetting those factors was the net favorable effect of the 35% increase in shipment volume, including the impact of the volume increase in reducing manufacturing and freight unit costs by costspreading the fixed component of goods soldthose costs over the larger volume base. The volume increase more than offset the reduction in material margins, which declined (exclusive of the hedge and tube inventory write-down) to $0.308 per pound from $0.358 per pound in the prior year quarter. The $0.050 per pound material margin decline was principally related to selling price reductions relatedgranted by the Company in order to increase 2004 shipment volume and regain market share lost in 2003. Gross profit for the six months ended June 30, 2004 increased to $19.2 million (3.6% of sales) from $16.4 million (4.3% of sales) in the prior year period. The six months gross profit increase includes the unfavorable effect of the same factors that affected the 2004 second quarter, consisting of the mark-to-market hedge and the tube inventory write-down. The 2004 six month material margin declined (exclusive of hedge and tube inventory write-down) by $0.049 per pound to $0.303 per pound from $0.352 per pound in the prior year period. The decrease, attributable to the aforementioned changes tomarket share-related customer selling price reductions granted in 2004, was more than offset by the Company's postretirement medical insurance program. The third quarter and nine-month gross profit decreases at Alflex reflect the netbeneficial effects of lower shipmentthe resulting volume lower material margins and a mix of higher manufacturing unit costs for the nine-month period, somewhat offset by lower manufacturing unit costs in the third quarter.increase on gross profit. Operating Income. The Company had an operating incomeloss of $6.3$18.7 million for the thirdsecond quarter of 20032004 compared with operating income of $6.8$1.5 million for the thirdsecond quarter of 2002.2003. For the nine-monthsix-month period ended SeptemberJune 30, 2003,2004, the Company had an operating incomeloss of $4.6$15.1 million, versus an operating incomeloss of $10.8$0.6 million for the first nine monthshalf of 2002. The decreases in operating income for the third quarter and nine-month period were primarily due to reduced operating income at both Alflex and the Aluminum business due2003. In addition to the factors described in the preceding paragraph, partially offsetgross profit section, operating income changes were impacted by lowerthe recording of restructuring charges in the second quarter of 2004 and changes in selling, general and administrative expenses. Selling, general and administrative expenses during the third quarter of 2003 were $10.1 million, compared with $12.5 million for the same period in 2002 and were $33.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2003, compared with $34.8 million for the same period in 2002. The third quarter and nine-month decreases in selling, general and administrative expenses were primarily due to a reduction in postretirement medical expense relating to the changes made in the postretirement medical programCompany incurred restructuring charges during the second quarter of 20032004 of $12.9 million and lower accruals$13.3 million for employee incentive plans which more than offset an increase in professional servicethe six months ended June 30, 2004 relating to new management's initial efforts to improve profitability by eliminating under-performing operations and streamlining overhead, as well as costs principally associated with the Company's project to upgrade its information technology systems. Cumulative effect of change in accounting principle. A non-cash goodwill impairment charge of $25.3 million was recorded as a cumulative effect of change in accounting principle as of January 1, 2002 under SFAS No.142.planned merger with IMCO Recycling Inc. See note 8 to18 "Restructuring Charges" in the condensed consolidated financial statements for additional information. Net Income. The Company had net incomeThere were no similar charges in the comparable periods in 2003. Selling, general and administrative expenses during the second quarter of $2.92004 were $10.7 million, for the quarter ended September 30, 2003, compared with net income of $6.1$7.6 million for the same period in 2002. The Company's net loss2003 and were $20.9 million for the ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2003 was $5.5 million2004, compared with $17.0 million for the same period in 2003. The increase in selling, general and administrative expenses was primarily due to higher accruals for employee incentive plans, increased depreciation expense due to the information technology systems upgrade and increased professional service costs. Income (Loss) From Continuing Operations. The Company had a net loss from continuing operations of $22.6 million for the first nine months of 2002. The net loss for the first nine months of 2002 includes the $25.3 million goodwill impairment charge described in the preceding paragraph. Interest expense was $3.7 million for both the quarter ended SeptemberJune 30, 2003 and 2002 and $11.22004, compared to a loss from continuing operations of $2.0 million for the ninesame period in 2003 and a loss from continuing operations of $22.8 million for the six months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2003,2004 compared with $11.4to a loss from continuing operations of $7.6 million for the first ninehalf of 2003 due principally to the factors described in the previous sections. Interest expense, net was $4.3 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2004, compared to $3.9 million recorded in the second quarter of 2003 and $8.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2004, compared with $7.8 million for the first half of 2002.2003. The nine-month decrease wasquarter and six-month increase were primarily due to a reduction in interest rates under the Company's receivables purchase agreement which more than offset the combined effect of an increase in amounts outstanding under the Company's receivables purchase agreement and an increase in interest rates under the agreement combined with a reduction in investment interest income. Income tax expense was $0.05 millionDiscontinued Operations. The Company disposed of its electrical products business in July 2004 and all periods shown have reclassified the results of this business as discontinued operations including the loss on disposition. See note 15 "Discontinued Electrical Products Segment Operations" in the thirdcondensed consolidated financial statements for additional information. Income from operations before income taxes was $2.0 million for the quarter of 2003ended June 30, 2004, compared to an income tax benefitfrom operations before taxes of $2.6$0.1 million for the same period in 20022003 and an income tax expensefrom operations before income taxes of $0.2$5.2 million for the ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 20032004 compared to a loss from operations before income taxes of $0.8 million for the first half of 2003. The improvements were primarily due to the net effects of higher shipment volume, higher material margins and lower manufacturing costs. The loss on disposition of $1.6 million ($2.6 million after an estimated $1.0 million of income tax benefitexpense) relates to estimated transaction costs relating to severance and professional fees. Net Income (Loss). The Company had a net loss of $2.5$23.1 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2004, compared to a net loss of $1.9 million for the same period in 2002. The increase in income tax expense was2003 and a net loss of $20.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2004 compared to a net loss of $8.4 million for the first half of 2003 due to a $2.7 million adjustment recordedthe factors described in the third quarter of 2002 to reduce prior years' income tax accruals.previous sections. Off-Balance Sheet Arrangement During 1997, the Company sold all of its trade accounts receivablesreceivable to a 100% owned subsidiary, Commonwealth Financing Corp. ("CFC"). Simultaneously, CFC entered into a three-year receivables purchase agreement with a financial institution and its affiliate, whereby CFC sells,can sell, on a revolving basis, an undivided interest in certain of its receivables and receivesreceive up to $150.0 million from an unrelated third party purchaser at a cost of funds linked to commercial paper rates plus a charge for administrative and credit support services. During 2000, the Company and the financial institution extended the receivables purchase agreement for an additional three-year period ending in September 2003 and in2003. In October 2002, the Company extended the agreement for an additional year ending in September 2004. In addition during2004 and in February 2004, extended the agreement through the end of March 2005. During September 2001 the Company and the financial institution agreed to reduce the size of the facility to $95.0 million and in October 2003 the availability was further reduced to $60.0 million. In February 2004, the availability was increased to $80.0 million and in May 2004 was increased to $100.0 million. At SeptemberJune 30, 20032004 and 2002,December 31, 2003, the Company had outstanding under the agreement $40.0$100.0 million and $20.0$60.0 million, respectively, and had $81.6$36.3 million and $100.2$44.9 million, respectively, of net residual interest in receivables sold. The net residual interest in the receivables sold has been reduced by $23.3 million and $19.3 million, respectively, at June 30, 2004 and December 31, 2003, for the portion of the net residual interest that related to the Company's discontinued electrical products segment and included in the current assets of discontinued operations on the condensed consolidated balance sheet. The fair value of the net residual interest iswas measured at the time of the sale and is based on the sale of similar assets. In the ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 20032004 and 2002,2003, the Company received gross proceeds of $62.0$40.0 million and $37.0$62.0 million, respectively, from the sale of receivables and made gross payments of $46.0$16.0 million and 37.0 million, respectively,in the first half of 2003 under the agreement. There have been no payments made during the first six months of 2004. Under the terms of the agreement, the Company is required to maintain tangible net worth of $5 million, and to not exceed certain percentages of credit sales for uncollectible accounts, delinquent accounts and sales returns and allowances. Should the Company exceed such limitations, the financial institution has the right to terminate the agreement. Liquidity and Capital Resources The Company's continuing operations used cash flows of $0.5$1.3 million for the ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 20032004 compared to providingusing cash flows of $4.2$0.6 million infor the nine months ended September 30, 2002.first half of 2003. Working capital increaseddecreased to $131.3$121.8 million at SeptemberJune 30, 20032004 from $129.5$133.4 million at SeptemberJune 30, 2002.2003. Capital expenditures were $4.4$4.2 million during the threesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2003 and $11.52004 compared to $6.8 million during the ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2003 compared to $6.9 million during the three months ended September2003. At June 30, 2002 and $10.1 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2002. At September 30, 2003,2004, the Company had commitments of $4.9$7.8 million for the purchase or construction of capital assets. Total capital expenditures for the year 20032004 are estimated to be approximately $15.4$14.3 million, all generally related to upgrading and expanding the Company's manufacturing and other facilities acquiring and enhancing software and hardware as part of the Company's information system redesign project and meeting environmental requirements. The Company's sources of liquidity are cash flows from operations, the Company's receivables purchase agreement described previously and borrowings under its $30 million revolving credit facility. The revolving credit facility expires on March 31, 2005. Availability of advances under the $30 million revolving credit facility is dependent on the continued satisfaction of certain financial covenants contained in the revolving credit agreement. While the Company is currently in full compliance with such financial covenants after having obtained an amendment in July 2004 which is effective as of June 30, 2004 for certain of the covenants, there is no assurance that the Company will be able to continue meeting such covenants, as currently structured, at all times during the next twelve months. In the event the Company does not meet the requisite covenants it may seek to obtain waivers or amendments of applicable covenant provisions from the participating lenders. In any event, the Company believes it has sufficient liquidity available from operating cash flows and amounts available under its receivables purchase agreement to fund its working capital requirements, capital expenditures, debt service, and if necessary, to satisfy any outstanding amounts under its revolving credit facility for at least the next twelve months. The Company's revolving credit facility permits borrowings and letters of credit up to $30.0 million outstanding at any time. As noted in the previous paragraph, availability is subject to satisfaction of certain covenants and other requirements. At SeptemberJune 30, 20032004, $18.3 million was available, as the outstanding amounts underagainst the credit facility consisted of $3.2 million of borrowings andwere $3.1 million of standby letters of credit leaving $23.7and $8.6 million available at Septemberof borrowings. The Company received cash proceeds of $64.0 million on July 30, 2003.2004 related to the sale of its Alflex electrical products business and will apply the proceeds to reduce amounts outstanding on its revolving credit facility, its receivables purchase agreement and for other general corporate purposes. The Company announced on July 31, 2003, that its Board of Directors had suspended the Company's quarterly cash dividend payments on its common stock as of the third quarter of 2003 due to the challenging economic conditions and to ensure continued compliance with the Company's debt instruments regarding the payment of dividends. The restrictions that limit the payment of cash dividends are contained in the Indenture relating to the Company's $125 million senior subordinated notes due in 2006. The Company believes that the restrictions are likely to result in suspension of the cash dividend through at least the maturity of the senior subordinated notes in 2006. The following schedules summarize the Company's contractual cash obligations and unused availability of financing sources at SeptemberJune 30, 20032004 (in thousands).

The Company has 76 1/42 years remaining on a 10-year guaranteed supply agreement with Glencore Ltd. ("Glencore"), a leading diversified trading and industrial company, for the purchase of primary aluminum. Under the agreement, the Company committed to purchase a minimum of 1.2 billion120 million pounds of P1020/99.7% aluminum at current market prices from Glencore each year over the 10-year term. The Company has met or exceeded the minimum purchase quantity for each year of the contract. At SeptemberJune 30, 2003,2004, the Company held forward firm-priced aluminum purchase and sales commitmentsorders through May 2005 totaling $7$19 million and $131$242 million, respectively. The Company hedges the impact of changes in prices related to these commitments as explained in the section entitled "Risk Management" which follows. Risk Management The price of aluminum is subject to fluctuations due to unpredictable factors on the worldwide market. To reduce this market risk, the Company follows a policy of hedging its anticipated raw material purchases based on firm-priced sales and purchase orders by purchasing and selling futures contracts, forward contracts and options on the London Metal Exchange ("LME"). The Company also uses forward contracts and options to reduce its risks associated with its natural gas requirements. For the second quarter ending June 30,last three quarters of 2003 and the third quarter ending September 30, 2003,first two quarters of 2004, the Company's aluminum futures contracts did not meet certain "effectiveness" requirements set forth in Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities" ("SFAS No. 133"). Accordingly, as prescribed by the provisions of SFAS No. 133, the derivative instruments that were used as hedges were marked-to-market and the gains and losses during the secondlast three quarters of 2003 and third quarterthe first two quarters of 20032004 were recorded currently in the consolidated statement of operations instead of being deferred in other comprehensive income and included in income when the underlying hedged transactions occur. For the foreseeable future, it is likely that the derivative instruments will continue to be marked-to-market through the consolidated statement of operations. It is the Company's policy to hedge its exposure to variability in expected future cash flows relating to its purchases of scrap aluminum by entering into forward purchase contracts of primary aluminum. Scrap metal purchases are priced by suppliers in relation to prevailing primary metal prices, plus or minus certain quality and delivery differentials. The quality and delivery differentials change from time to time in relation to market conditions, but there is no derivative instrument available to correspondingly hedge such changes. Since the forward purchase contracts used by the Company only hedge the primary metal pricing components, changes in the other scrap metal pricing components cause the noted ineffectiveness. However, the derivative instruments are considered by the Company to be economically appropriate hedges of cash flows associated with the primary metal pricing components of scrap aluminum purchases. The Company's natural gas futures continue to be deemed "effective" per SFAS No. 133 and accordingly the gains and losses on these financial instruments are deferred in other comprehensive income and included in income when the underlying hedged transactions occur. Gains and losses on these instruments that are deferred in other comprehensive income are reclassified into net income as cost of goods sold in the periods when the hedged transactions occur. As of SeptemberJune 30, 2003,2004, the Company had $0.2$7.8 million of deferred net lossesgains recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income. Over the next twelve months, approximately $0.6$5.4 million of deferred net gains are expected to be reclassified from other comprehensive income into net income as a reductiondecrease of cost of goods sold. A net gainloss of $1.1$4.6 million and $1.5$1.6 million was recognized in cost of goods sold during the three months and ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2003,2004, respectively, and a net lossgain of $0.05$0.7 million and $0.16$0.4 million was recognized in cost of goods sold during the three months and ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2002,2003, respectively, representing the amount of the hedges' ineffectiveness. As of SeptemberJune 30, 2003,2004, the Company held open aluminum and natural gas futures and forward contracts and aluminum options having maturity dates extending through December 2005.March 2007. Before entering into futures contracts, forward contracts and options, the Company reviews the credit rating of the counterparty and assesses credit risk. While the Company is exposed to certain losses in the event of non-performance by the counterparties to these agreements, the Company does not expect any such counterparties to not perform. Recently Issued Accounting PronouncementsStandards In January 2003, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Financial Accounting Standards Board Interpretation No. 46, "Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities, an Interpretation of ARB No. 51" ("FIN 46")., and issued a revision in December 2003. This Interpretation of Accounting Research Bulletin No. 51, "Consolidated Financial Statements"Statements," requires certain variable interest entities to be consolidated by the primary beneficiary of the entity if the equity investors in the entity do not have the characteristics of a controlling financial interest or do not have sufficient equity at risk for the entity to finance its activities without additional subordinated financial support from other parties. FIN 46 was effective immediately for all new variable interest entities created or acquired after Januarythe Company in the quarter ending March 31, 2003. For variable interest entities created or acquired prior to February 1, 2003, the provisions of FIN 46 were to be applied to the first interim or annual period beginning after June 15, 2003, but in October 2003 the Financial Accounting Standards Board decided to defer that implementation to the first interim or annual period beginning after December 15, 2003. Management does not expect the adoption of this Interpretation to have a material impact on the Company's results of operations or financial position. In April 2003, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 149, "Amendment of Statement 133 on Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities" (" SFAS No. 149"). The Statement amends and clarifies financial accounting and reporting for derivative instruments, including certain derivative instruments embedded in other contracts and for hedging activities under Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities." SFAS No. 149 is generally effective for contracts entered into or modified after June 30, 2003 and for hedging relationships designated after June 30, 2003. In addition, the provisions of this Statement are generally to be applied prospectively.2004. The Statement's initial adoption did not have a material impact on the Company's results of operations or financial position. In MayDecember 2003, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 150, "Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with Characteristics of both Liabilities132 (revised 2003), "Employers' Disclosures about Pensions and Equity" ("SFAS No. 150")Other Postretirement Benefits". The Statement establishes standardsrequires additional disclosures about an employer's pension plans and postretirement benefits plans such as: the types of plan assets, investment strategy, measurement date, plan obligations, cash flows, and components of net periodic benefit cost recognized during interim periods. See notes 9 and 10 to the condensed consolidated financial statements for how an issuer classifiesthe required additional disclosures for interim periods. In January 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Staff Position No. FAS 106-1, "Accounting and measures certainDisclosure Requirements Related to the Medicare Prescription Drug, Improvement and Modernization Act of 2003" ("FSP FAS 106-1"). FSP FAS 106-1 allowed companies to assess the effect of the Medicare Prescription Drug, Improvement and Modernization Act of 2003 ("the Act") on their postretirement benefit obligations and costs and reflect the effects in their financial instruments with characteristics of both liabilities and equity. It requires that an issuer classify a financial instrument that is within its scope as a liability (or an asset in some circumstances). Many of those instruments were previously classified as equity. The provisions ofstatements, pursuant to SFAS No. 150 apply immediately106, "Employer's Accounting for Postretirement Benefits Other Than Pensions." Companies were also allowed to all financial instruments entered into or modified after May 31, 2003, and otherwise are effective atmake a one-time election to defer accounting for the beginningeffects of the first interim period beginningAct until authoritative guidance is issued. The guidance in FSP FAS 106-1 was effective for years ending after June 15,December 7, 2003. The Statement's initial adoption didIn accordance with FSP FAS 106-1, the accumulated postretirement benefit obligation and net periodic postretirement benefit expense (income) in the Company's consolidated financial statements do not have a material impactreflect the effects of the Act on the Company's resultspostretirement health care plan. In addition, specific authoritative guidance on the accounting for the federal subsidy, one of operations or financial position.the provisions of the Act, is pending, and that guidance, when issued, could require the Company to change previously reported information. Additionally, in May 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Staff Position No. FAS 106-2, "Accounting and Disclosure Requirements Related to the Medicare Prescription Drug, Improvement and Modernization Act of 2003" ("FSP FAS 106-2"). FSP FAS 106-2 supersedes FSP FAS 106-1 and will be effective for the Company in the third quarter of 2004. FSP FAS 106-2 provides guidance on the accounting for the effects of the Act for employers that sponsor postretirement health care plans that provide drug benefits and also requires those employers to provide certain disclosures regarding the effect of the federal subsidy provided by the Act. Item 4. Controls and Procedures (a) Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures As required by Rule 13a-15 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), the Company's management carried out an evaluation, with the participation of the Company's Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the Company's disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the quarter ended SeptemberJune 30, 2003.2004. Based upon that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that the Company's disclosure controls and procedures are effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in its reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission's rules and forms. (b) Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting ThereAs noted in the Company's 2003 Form 10-K Item 9A "Controls and Procedures", the Company implemented a new information systems platform for its aluminum business during the fourth quarter of 2003 and experienced information gaps that inhibited effective internal controls over financial reporting. As a result, during the first quarter of 2004, the Company implemented greater systems functionality, improved user training and more comprehensive controls over work-around procedures in order to address and correct the detected deficiencies. In addition, as noted in the Company's first quarter 2004 Form 10-Q Item 4(b) "Controls and Procedures", during April 2004, the Company performed additional analysis and procedures to obtain reasonable assurance of the accuracy of the Company's financial statements for the first quarter of 2004. Certain additional deficiencies were detected as a result of the additional analysis and procedures and these deficiencies were addressed. The Company continues to believe that failures to ensure the reliability of financial reporting noted herein were temporary, and that the efforts to implement greater systems functionality, improve user training and perform more comprehensive controls over work-around processes have corrected these deficiencies. Except as set forth above, there have not been any changes in the Company's internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) of the Exchange Act) during the quarter ended SeptemberJune 30, 20032004 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company's internal control over financial reporting. PART II OTHER INFORMATION Item 1. Legal Proceedings The Company is a party to non-environmental legal proceedings and administrative actions all of which are of an ordinary routine nature incidental to the operations of the Company. Although it is impossible to predict the outcome of any legal proceeding, in the opinion of management such proceedings and actions should not, individually or in aggregate, have a material adverse effect on the Company's financial condition, results of operations or cash flows, although resolution in any year or quarter could be material to the results of operation for that period.
