Explanatory Note

This Amendment No. 1 amends the Annual Report on Form 10-K of Accuride Corporation (the “Company”) for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2002, which was originally filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 21, 2003 (the “Annual Report”), to delete language from the header on Page F-1 entitled the “Independent Auditors’ Report” in the financial statements of the Company included in the Annual Report which reads: “PRELIMINARY DRAFT - FOR DISCUSSION PURPOSES ONLY.”  The Company inadvertently failed to omit the header from this page of the financial statements prior to filing the Annual Report with the Commission on March 21, 2003.  The Company is also amending this Annual Report to update the Exhibit list of Item 15 to reflect documents filed with this Amendment No. 1.

For the convenience of the reader, this Amendment No. 1 amends and restates in its entirety Item 15 of the Annual Report.  This Amendment No. 1 continues to speak as of the date of the original Annual Report, and the Company has not updated the disclosures contained therein to reflect any events which occurred at a later date.

In addition, as required by Rule 12b-15, promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, the registrant’s principal executive officer and principal financial officer are providing new Rule 15d-14 certifications in connection with this Amendment No. 1 and are also furnishing, but not filing, written statements pursuant to Title 18 United States Code Section 1350, as added by Section 906 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002.  The Exhibit section has also been revised to include an update to the Independent Auditor’s Consent.  Except as described above, no other changes have been made to the Annual Report.

The filing of this Amendment No. 1 shall not be deemed an admission that the original filing, when made, included any untrue statement of a material fact or omitted to state a material fact necessary to make a statement not misleading.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS’ REPORT

To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of Accuride Corporation:

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Accuride Corporation and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2002 and 2001, and the related consolidated statements of income (loss), stockholders’ equity (deficiency) and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2002.  Our audits also included the financial statement schedule listed in the Index at Item 15.  These financial statements and the financial statement schedule are the responsibility of the Company’s management.  Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and the financial statement schedule based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America.  Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement.  An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements.  An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.  We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, such consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Accuride Corporation and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2002 and 2001, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2002 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.  Also, in our opinion, such financial statement schedule, when considered in relation to the basic consolidated financial statements taken as a whole, presents fairly in all material respects the information set forth therein.

As discussed in Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements, in 2002, the Company changed its method of accounting for goodwill and other intangible assets.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

FOR EACH OF THE THREE YEARS IN THE PERIOD ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2002

(DOLLARS IN THOUSANDS, EXCEPT SHARE AND PER SHARE DATA)

1.SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of Consolidation—The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Accuride Corporation (the “Company”) and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, including Accuride Canada, Inc. (“Accuride Canada”), AKW L.P. (“AKW”), and Accuride de Mexico, S.A. de C.V. (“AdM”).  All significant intercompany transactions have been eliminated.  Investments in affiliated companies in which the Company does not have a controlling interest are accounted for using the equity method.

Business of the Company—The Company is engaged primarily in the design, manufacture and distribution of wheels and rims for trucks, trailers and certain military and construction vehicles.  The Company sells its products primarily within North America and Latin America to original equipment manufacturers and to the aftermarket.  The Company’s primary manufacturing facilities are located in Henderson, Kentucky; Columbia, Tennessee; Erie, Pennsylvania; Cuyahoga Falls, Ohio; London, Ontario, Canada and Monterrey, Mexico.  The Company closed its Columbia, Tennessee, facility and consolidated the production of light wheels into its other facilities during 2002.

Management’s Estimates and Assumptions—The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures 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.

Revenue Recognition—The Company records sales upon shipment and provides an allowance for estimated discounts associated with customer rebates.

Inventories—Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market.  Cost for substantially all inventories, except AdM, is determined by the last-in, first-out method (LIFO).  AdM’s inventories are stated at average cost.

Supplies—Supplies are stated at the lower of cost or market.  Cost for substantially all supplies is determined by a moving-average method.  The Company performs periodic evaluations of supplies and provides an allowance for obsolete items.

Property, Plant and Equipment—Property, plant and equipment are carried at cost.  Expenditures for replacements and betterments are capitalized; maintenance and repairs are charged to operations as incurred.

Buildings, machinery and equipment are depreciated using the straight-line method over estimated lives of 5 to 40 years.  Tooling is generally depreciated over a 3-year life.

Deferred Financing Costs—Direct costs incurred in connection with the Recapitalization (see Note 2) and the Credit Agreement (see Note 8) have been deferred and are being amortized over the life of the related debt using the interest method.

Goodwill—Goodwill consists of costs in excess of the net assets acquired in connection with the Phelps Dodge Corporation (“PDC”) acquisition of the Company in March 1988 and the AKW and AdM acquisitions in April 1999 and July 1999, respectively.  Prior to January 1, 2002, goodwill was amortized using the straight-line method over 40 years.  Effective January 1, 2002, the Company adopted Statements of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 142, “Accounting for Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets”.  As such, the Company no longer amortizes goodwill, but instead tests for impairment at least annually.  See Accounting Standards Adopted.

Long-Lived Assets—The Company evaluates its long-lived assets to be held and used and its identifiable intangible assets for impairment when events or changes in economic circumstances indicate the carrying amount of such assets may not be recoverable.  Long-lived assets to be disposed of are carried at the lower of cost or fair value less the costs of disposal.

Restructuring Reserve—During the second quarter of 2001, the Company approved a plan to close its Columbia, Tennessee facility and consolidate the production of light wheels into its other facilities.  As a result of this plan, during the second quarter of 2001, the Company recognized a pre-tax non-cash restructuring charge of $2,692 for employee separation costs and a loss on disposal of the facility.  Reconciliation of the restructuring liability, as of December 31, 2002, is as follows:

	2001 Provision		Cash Expenditures	Balance December 31, 2001		Cash Expenditures		Non-Cash Write-Offs		Balance December 31, 2002
Employee separation costs	$	1,282		$	1,282	$	1,104	$	48	$	130
Loss on disposal of facility	1,410			1,410				1,410
	$	2,692		$	2,692	$	1,104	$	1,458	$	130

As of December 31, 2002, there were 47 employees that had been terminated and provided severance benefits under this restructuring plan.  Remaining employees will be terminated and provided severance in the first quarter of 2003.  The facility is currently held for sale.  See Property, Plant and Equipment Held For Sale.

Pension Plans—The Company has trusteed, non-contributory pension plans covering substantially all U.S. and Canadian employees.  For certain plans, the benefits are based on career average salary and years of service and, for other plans, a fixed amount for each year of service.  The Company’s funding policy provides that payments to the pension trusts shall be at least equal to the minimum legal funding requirements.

Postretirement Benefits Other Than Pensions—The Company has postretirement health care and life insurance benefit plans covering substantially all U.S. non-bargained and Canadian employees.  The Company accounts for these benefits on an accrual basis and provides for the expected cost of such postretirement benefits accrued during the years employees render the necessary service.  The Company’s funding policy provides that payments to participants shall be at least equal to its cash basis obligation.

Postemployment Benefits Other Than Pensions—The Company has certain postemployment benefit plans covering certain U.S. and Canadian employees which provide severance, disability, supplemental health care, life insurance or other welfare benefits.  The Company accounts for these benefits on an accrual basis.  The Company’s funding policy provides that payments to participants shall be at least equal to its cash basis obligation.

F-7

Income Taxes—Deferred tax assets and liabilities are computed based on differences between financial statement and income tax bases of assets and liabilities using enacted income tax rates.  Deferred income tax expense or benefit is based on the change in deferred tax assets and liabilities from period to period, subject to an ongoing assessment of realization of deferred tax assets.

Research and Development Costs—Expenditures relating to the development of new products and processes, including significant improvements and refinements to existing products, are expensed as incurred.  The amounts charged against income in 2002, 2001, and 2000 totaled $5,335, $5,321 and $6,264, respectively.

Foreign Currency—The assets and liabilities of Accuride Canada and AdM that are receivable or payable in cash are converted at current exchange rates, and inventories and other non-monetary assets and liabilities are converted at historical rates.  Revenues and expenses are converted at average rates in effect for the period.  Accuride Canada’s and AdM’s functional currencies have been determined to be the U.S. dollar.  Accordingly, gains and losses resulting from conversion of such amounts, as well as gains and losses on foreign currency transactions, are included in operating results as “Other income (expense), net.”  The Company had aggregate foreign currency gains (losses) of $1,778, ($822), and $74, for the years ended December 31, 2002, 2001, and 2000, respectively.

Concentrations of Credit Risk—Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to significant concentrations of credit risk consist principally of cash, cash equivalents, customer receivables, and derivative financial instruments.  The Company places its cash and cash equivalents and executes derivatives with high quality financial institutions.  Generally, the Company does not require collateral or other security to support customer receivables.

Derivative Financial Instruments—The Company uses derivative instruments to manage exposures to foreign currency, commodity prices, and interest rate risks.  The Company does not enter into derivative financial instruments for trading or speculative purposes.  The derivative instruments used by the Company include interest rate, foreign exchange, and commodity price instruments.  All derivative instruments are recognized on the balance sheet at their estimated fair value.  See Note 15 for the carrying amounts and estimated fair values of these instruments.

Interest Rate Instruments—The Company uses interest rate swap agreements as a means of fixing the interest rate on portions of the Company’s floating-rate debt.  The interest rate swap is not designated as a hedge for financial reporting purposes and, accordingly, is carried in the financial statements at fair value, with unrealized gains or losses reflected in current period earnings as “Other income (expense), net”.  The settlement amounts from the swap agreement are reported in the financial statements as a component of interest.  The Company uses interest rate cap agreements to set ceilings on the maximum interest rate the Company would incur on portions of the Company’s floating-rate debt.  The interest rate cap is carried in the financial statements at fair value, with unrealized gains or losses reflected in current period earnings as “Other income (expense), net”.  In the event that the cap is exercised, any realized gain would be recorded in the financial statements as a component of interest.

Foreign Exchange Instruments—The Company uses foreign currency forward contracts and options to limit foreign exchange risk on anticipated but not yet committed transactions expected to be denominated in Canadian dollars.  Prior to August 1, 2002, the Company did not designate the forward contracts as hedges for financial reporting purposes and, accordingly, carried these instruments in the financial statements at fair value, with realized and unrealized gains or losses reflected in current period earnings as “Other income (expense), net.”  On August 1, 2002, the Company designated the outstanding forward contracts as cash flow hedges.  Based on historical experience and analysis performed by the Company, management expects that these derivative instruments will be highly effective in offsetting the change in the value of the anticipated transactions being hedged.  As such, unrealized gains or losses are deferred in “Other

F-8

Comprehensive Income” with only realized gains or losses reflected in current period earnings as “Cost of Goods Sold”.  However, to the extent that any of these contracts are not perfectly effective, any changes in fair value resulting from ineffectiveness will be immediately recognized in “Cost of Goods Sold”.  The total notional amount of outstanding forward contracts at December 31, 2002 and 2001 was $31,864 and $60,621, respectively.

Commodity Price Instruments—The Company uses commodity price swap contracts to limit exposure to changes in certain raw material prices.  The commodity price instruments are not designated as hedges for financial reporting purposes and, accordingly, are carried in the financial statements at fair value, with realized and unrealized gains and losses reflected in current period earnings as “Other income (expense), net”.  The total notional amount of outstanding commodity price swaps at December 31, 2002 and 2001 was $144 and $2,180 respectively.

The realized and unrealized gain (loss) on the Company’s derivative financial instruments for the year ended December 31 are as follows:

	Interest Rate Instruments				Foreign Exchange Instruments				Commodity Price Instruments
	Realized Gain (loss)		Unrealized Gain (Loss)		Realized Gain (loss)		Unrealized Gain (Loss)		Realized Gain (loss)		Unrealized Gain (Loss)
2002	(5,323	)	2,940		166		193		(540	)	650
2001	(29	)	(3,360	)	(7,587	)	3,363		(1,919	)	(62	)
2000	547		—		(691	)	(6,621	)	1,477		—

Accounting Standards Adopted—Accounting standards adopted during 2002 include Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 142, Accounting for Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets, and SFAS No. 144, Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets.

SFAS 142—Effective January 1, 2002, the Company adopted Statements of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 142, “Accounting for Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets”.  This statement requires that goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite useful lives not be amortized but instead be tested for impairment at least annually.  The Company evaluated its goodwill on March 31, 2002, and found it not to be impaired.  Additionally, the Company performed its annual impairment test of Goodwill as of November 30, 2002, and found it not to be impaired.  The Company has no other intangible assets.

The following unaudited financial data illustrates what prior earnings would have been if goodwill had not been amortized for the year ended December 31, 2001, and the related income tax effects:

	For the Year Ended December 31,
	2002			2001
Net income (loss)	$	(10,941	)	$	(33,154	)
Add back:  Goodwill amortization, net of tax effect				3,552
Adjusted net income (loss)	$	(10,941	)	$	(29,602	)

SFAS 144—Effective January 1, 2002, the Company adopted SFAS 144, “Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets,” which addresses financial accounting and reporting for the impairment of long-lived assets and for long-lived assets to be disposed.  During 2002, the Company recorded non-cash asset impairment charges of $2,303 to write down certain assets at the Company’s Monterrey Mexico, and Columbia, Tennessee, facilities.  See Notes 5 and 6.

F-9

New Accounting Standards—New accounting standards which could impact the Company include SFAS No. 145, Rescission of FASB Statements No. 4,44, and 64, Amendment of FASB Statement No. 13, and Technical Corrections, SFAS No. 146, Accounting for Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities, SFAS No. 148, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation-Transition and Disclosure-Amendment of FASB Statement No. 123, and FIN45, Guarantor’s Accounting and Disclosure Requirements for Guarantees.

SFAS 145—On April 30, 2002, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued SFAS No. 145, “Rescission of FASB Statements No. 4, 44, and 64, Amendment of FASB Statement No. 13, and Technical Corrections”.  The statement is intended to update, clarify and simplify existing accounting pronouncements.  Management does not believe this statement will have a material effect on its consolidated financial statements.

SFAS 146—On July 30, 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No. 146, “Accounting for Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities”.  The statement addresses financial accounting and reporting for costs associated with exit or disposal activities and nullifies Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF) Issue No. 94-3, “Liability Recognition for Certain Employee Termination Benefits and Other Costs to Exit an Activity (including Certain Costs Incurred in a Restructuring).”  SFAS 146 is effective for exit or disposal activities that are initiated after December 31, 2002.  Management does not believe this statement will have a material effect on its consolidated financial statements.

SFAS 148—On December 31, 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No. 148, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation-Transition and Disclosure.  This statement amends SFAS Statement No. 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation” and provides alternative methods of transition for a voluntary change to the fair value based methods of accounting for stock-based employee compensation.  In addition, this Statement amends the disclosure requirements of SFAS 123 to require prominent disclosures in both annual and interim financial statements about the method of accounting for stock-based employee compensation and the effect of the method used on reported results.  Management is still evaluating the full effect of this new accounting standard on the financial statements.

The Company applies APB Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees, and related interpretations in accounting for the plans; accordingly, since the grant price of the stock options was at least 100% of the fair value at the date of the grant, no compensation expense has been recognized by the Company in connection with the option grants.  Had compensation cost for the plans been determined based on the fair value at the grant dates for awards under the plan consistent with the fair value method of SFAS No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation, the effect on the Company’s net income would have been the following:

	Year Ended December 31
	2002			2001			2000
Net income (loss) as reported	$	(10,941	)	$	(33,154	)	$	2,513
Add: Total stock-based employee compensation expense determined under the intrinsic value based method, net of related tax effects
Deduct: Total stock-based employee compensation expense determined under the fair value based method, net of related tax effects	(200		)	(278		)	(351		)
Pro forma net income (loss)	$	(11,141	)	$	(33,432	)	$	2,162

FIN45—In November 2002, the FASB issued Interpretation No. 45 (FIN 45), Guarantor’s Accounting and Disclosure Requirements for Guarantees.  Including Indirect Guarantees of Indebtedness of Others.  FIN 45 requires that upon issuance of certain guarantees, a guarantor must recognize a liability for the fair value of the obligation assumed under the guarantee.  FIN 45 also requires additional disclosures by a guarantor in its interim and annual financial statements regarding certain guarantees and product warranties.  The recognition provisions of FIN 45 is effective for guarantees issued or modified after December 31, 2002.  The Company does not expect the recognition provisions of FIN 45 to have a material impact on the Company’s financial position or results of operations.

Reclassifications—Certain amounts from prior year’s financial statement have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation.

2.RECAPITALIZATION OF ACCURIDE CORPORATION

The Company entered into a stock subscription and redemption agreement dated November 17, 1997 (the “Agreement” or “Redemption”), with PDC and Hubcap Acquisition L.L.C. (“Hubcap Acquisition”), a Delaware limited liability company formed at the direction of KKR 1996 Fund L.P., a Delaware limited partnership affiliated with Kohlberg Kravis Roberts & Co., L.P. (“KKR”).

Pursuant to the Agreement, effective January 21, 1998, Hubcap Acquisition made an equity investment in the Company of $108,000 in exchange for 90% of the common stock of the Company after the Recapitalization, as described herein.  The Company used the proceeds of this investment, along with $200,000 from the issuance of 9.25% senior subordinated notes at 99.48% of principal value due 2008 and $164,800 in bank borrowings, including $135,000 of borrowings under senior secured term loans due 2005 and 2006 with variable interest rates and $29,800 of borrowings under a $140,000 senior secured revolving line of credit expiring 2004 with a variable interest rate, to redeem $468,000 of common stock (the “Recapitalization”).

Subsequent to the Recapitalization, effective September 30, 1998, PDC sold its remaining interest in the Company to an unrelated third party.

Concurrent with the Agreement, the Company recorded a $18.5 million deferred tax asset related to the increase in the tax basis of assets.  During 2002, management determined that an additional $69.7 million in tax basis should be recognized.  As a result, the Company recorded a $11.7 million increase in deferred tax assets and reduced deferred tax liabilities by $15.4.  The amount recorded, totaling $27.1 million, was recognized in additional paid-in-capital as an adjustment to the recapitalization.

3.CONSOLIDATED STATEMENTS OF CASH FLOWS

For the purpose of preparing the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows, the Company considers all highly liquid investments with a maturity of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents.  Interest paid (net of amounts capitalized of $450, $700 and $1,268) for the years ended December 31, 2002, 2001 and 2000 was $40,941, $40,572 and $39,454, respectively.  The Company received a refund of income taxes of $2,049 for the year ended December 31, 2002, and paid income taxes of $1,682 and $2,129 for the years ended December 31, 2001 and 2000, respectively.  During 2002, the Company recorded a non-cash minimum pension liability adjustment of $7,790, net of tax benefit of $4,981, as a component of Other Comprehensive Loss.

Bank Borrowing—The Revolving Credit, Term A, Term B and Term C Advances were issued pursuant to the second amended and restated credit agreement (“Credit Agreement”) dated as of July 27, 2001.  The Revolving Credit, Term B and Term C Advances were borrowed by the U.S. Borrower and the Term A Advance was borrowed by Accuride Canada (“Canadian Borrower”).

F-13

The Credit Agreement consists of: (i) a $55,404 Term A Advance; (ii) a $69,256 Term B Advance; (iii) a $97,000 Term C Advance; and (iv) up to $100,000 under the revolving credit facility (which may be limited to $87,500 based on certain leverage ratios) and trade letters of credit and standby letters of credit up to an aggregate sub-limit of $20,000.  Letters of credit of $665 and $855 were outstanding at December 31, 2002 and 2001.  Swing line advances may be made up to the lesser of: (1) $10,000; or (2) the aggregate unused revolving credit commitment from time to time.  The borrowings under the Revolving Credit, Term A, Term B and Term C Advances are collectively referred to as the “Bank Borrowings.”

The Company has the option to borrow under the Credit Agreement at the Base Rate or Eurodollar Rate plus an Applicable Margin, as defined in the Credit Agreement.  The Applicable Margin shall be adjusted upon the Company achieving certain leverage ratios and varies by type of borrowing.  At December 31, 2002, the Company had $60,000 outstanding on the revolving credit facility under the Eurodollar Rate option.  The corresponding Eurodollar Rate ranged from 1.44% - 2.25% and the Applicable Margin was 3.25%.  At December 31, 2001, the Company had $15,000 outstanding on the revolving credit facility under the Base Rate option of 4.75% plus the Applicable Margin of 2.25% and $35,000 outstanding on the revolving credit facility under the Eurodollar Rate option.  The corresponding Eurodollar Rate ranged from 2.13% - 2.56% and the Applicable Margin was 3.25%.

The Company’s other Bank Borrowings at December 31, 2002 and 2001 were all borrowed under the Eurodollar Rate option.  At December 31, 2002 the corresponding Eurodollar Rates ranged from 1.94% - 2.25%.  At December 31, 2001 the corresponding Eurodollar Rates ranged from 3.75% - 5.44%, and the Applicable Margin ranged from 3.25% - 4.00%.

Bank Borrowings and any unpaid interest thereon under; (i) the Term A Advance shall be repayable on January 21, 2005 in the amount equal to the then outstanding principal balance of the Term A Advance; (ii) the Term B Advance shall be repayable on January 21, 2006 in the amount of the then outstanding principal balance of the Term B Advance; (iii) the Term C Advance shall be repayable in installments of $1,000 each on January 21, 2003, January 21, 2004, and January 21, 2005, and an installment of $47,000 on January 21, 2006 and on January 21, 2007 in the amount of the then outstanding principal balance of the Term C Advance; and (iv) the revolving credit facility shall be payable in full on January 21, 2004.

The Bank Borrowings are guaranteed by all domestic subsidiaries of the U.S. Borrower.  The Term A Advance is guaranteed by the U.S. Borrower.  The Bank Borrowings are collateralized by a valid and perfected first priority interest in 100% of the common stock of each first tier domestic subsidiary of the U.S. Borrower and of the Canadian Borrower, and 66% of all of the U.S. Borrower’s current and future first tier foreign subsidiaries other than the Canadian Borrower.  In addition, the Bank Borrowing are supported by first priority liens on all unencumbered real, personal, tangible and intangible property of the Borrowers.  A negative pledge restricts the imposition of other liens or encumbrances on all of the assets of the Borrowers and their subsidiaries, subject to certain exceptions.

Senior Subordinated Notes—Interest at 9.25% on the senior subordinated notes (the “Notes”) is payable on February 1 and August 1 of each year, commencing on August 1, 1998.  The Notes mature in full on February 1, 2008 and may be redeemed, at the option of the Company, in whole or in part, at any time on or after February 1, 2003 in cash at the redemption prices set forth in the indenture, plus interest.  The Notes are a general unsecured obligation of the Company ranking senior in right of payment to all existing and future subordinated indebtedness of the Company.  The Notes are subordinated to all existing and future senior indebtedness of the Company including indebtedness incurred under the Credit Agreement.  As of December 31, 2002 and 2001 the aggregate principal amount of Notes outstanding was $189,900.

F-14

AdM Term Facility—At December 31, 2002 and 2001, AdM had term notes outstanding of $3,125 and $15,625, respectively, under its $25,000 term facility.  Principal is payable quarterly from June 25, 2001 through March 25, 2003.  At December 31, 2002, the interest rate on the term note was based on a Eurodollar rate of 1.50% plus the Applicable Margin of 3.5%.  At December 31, 2001, the interest rate on the term note was based on a Eurodollar rate of 2.15% plus the Applicable Margin of 3.50%.  AdM’s total assets have been assigned as collateral under the terms of the credit agreement.

Under the terms of the Company’s credit agreement and AdM’s credit agreement, there are certain restrictive covenants that limit the payment of cash dividends and establish minimum financial ratios.  The Company is in compliance with all such covenants at December 31, 2002, but is prohibited from paying cash dividends.

Interest Rate Instruments—At December 31, 2002 and 2001, the Company was a party to a 2.73% interest rate cap agreement that expired in January 2003 and was not renewed.  The agreement entitled the Company to receive from the counterparty on a quarterly basis the amount, if any, by which the Company’s interest payments on $120,000 of floating-rate long-term debt exceed 2.73% plus the Applicable Margin.  As of December 31, 2002 and 2001, the interest rate cap had a notional amount of $120,000.

The Company uses interest rate swap agreements to manage its interest rate exposure on portions of its floating-rate debt obligations.  Under the interest rate swap agreement that was in effect as of December 31, 2001, the Company made fixed rate payments at 4.78% and received variable rate payments at the three-month Eurodollar rate.  As of December 31, 2001 the interest rate swap agreement had a notional amount of $100,000, and the corresponding Eurodollar rate was 2.37%.  This interest rate swap agreement was terminated during 2002.  As of December 31, 2002, the Company did not have any open interest rate swap agreements or obligations.

Maturities of long-term debt, including the bond discount, based on minimum scheduled payments as of December 31, 2002, are as follows:

2003	$	4,125
2004	61,000
2005	56,404
2006	116,256
2007	47,000
Thereafter	189,900
Total	$	474,685

9.PENSION PLANS AND OTHER POSTRETIREMENT BENEFIT PLANS

The Company sponsors non-contributory employee defined benefit pension plans covering substantially all U.S. and Canadian employees (the “plans”).  Employees covered under the U.S. salaried plan are eligible to participate upon the completion of one year of service and benefits are determined by their cash balance accounts, which are based on an allocation they earn each year.  Employees covered under the Canadian salaried plan are eligible to participate upon the completion of two years of service and benefits are based upon career average salary and years of service.  Employees covered under the hourly plans are generally eligible to participate at the time of employment and benefits are generally based on a fixed amount for each year of service.  U.S. employees are vested in the plans after five years of service; Canadian hourly employees are vested after two years of service.

F-15

In addition to providing pension benefits, the Company also provides certain unfunded health care and life insurance programs for U.S. non-bargained and Canadian employees who meet certain eligibility requirements.  These benefits are provided through contracts with insurance companies and health service providers.  The coverage is provided on a non-contributory basis for certain groups of employees and on a contributory basis for other groups.  The majority of these benefits are paid by the Company.

The components of pension and postretirement benefit cost included the following components:

	Pension Benefits									Other Benefits

During 2002 the Company recorded a curtailment charge of $425 as a result of the termination of certain employees at its Henderson, Kentucky facility.

For 2002 measurement purposes, annual rates of increase in the per capita cost of covered health care benefits were assumed to average 10% for 2002 and 2003 decreasing gradually to 5.0% by 2008 and remaining at that level thereafter, for U.S. plans.  The annual rates of increase in the per capita cost of covered health care benefits for Canadian plans were assumed to average 11% for 2002 and 10% for 2003 decreasing 1% per annum to 5% and remaining at that level thereafter.  The health care cost trend rate assumption has a significant effect on the amounts reported.  A one-percentage point change in assumed health care cost trend rates would have the following effects:

	1-Percentage- Point Increase		1-Percentage- Point Decrease
Effect on total of service and interest cost components	$	341	$	(277	)
Effect on postretirement benefit obligation	2,952		(2,546		)

Assumptions used to develop the net periodic pension cost and other postretirement benefit cost and to value pension obligations as of December 31 were as follows:

	Pension Benefits				Other Benefits
	2002		2001		2002		2001
Discount rate	6.50	%	7.00	%	6.50	%	7.00	%

Expected long-term rate of return on assets	9.00	%	9.00	%*	N/A		N/A

*A 10.0% return on assets assumption was used for the Canadian plans.

**A 3.5% increase in future compensation assumption was used for the Canadian  plans.

F-17

The projected benefit obligation, accumulated benefit obligation, and fair value of plan assets for the pension plans with accumulated benefit obligations in excess of plan assets were $44,792, $44,060 and $36,775, respectively, as of December 31, 2002 and $18,654, $17,659 and $13,469, respectively, as of December 31, 2001.

The Company intends to fund at least the minimum amount required under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended, for U.S. plans, or in the case of Accuride Canada, the minimum legal requirements in Canada.

The Company also provides a 401(k) savings plan and a profit sharing plan for substantially all U.S. salaried employees.  Select employees may also participate in a supplemental savings plan.  Expense associated with these plans for the years ended December 31, 2002, 2001 and 2000 totaled $1,391, $1,108, and $1,755, respectively.

Current deferred tax asset	1,523			6,219
Long-term deferred income tax asset - net	$	24,903		$	2,930

The Company’s net operating loss, available in various tax jurisdictions at December 31, 2002 will expire in various periods over the next 20 years.  The foreign tax credit carryforward will expire in 2003.  The alternative minimum tax credit carryforward and the Canadian capital loss carryforward do not expire.  Realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon taxable income within the carryforward periods available under the applicable tax laws.  Although realization of deferred tax assets in excess of deferred tax liabilities is not certain, management has concluded that it is more likely than not the Company will realize the full benefit of deferred tax assets, except for a valuation allowance related to loss carryforwards and foreign tax credits.

Pursuant to the Job Creation and Worker Assistance Act of 2002, a temporary incentive was added to the Internal Revenue Code to allow for a 5 year net operating loss carryback for fiscal years ending in 2002 and 2001.  The Company will elect to carry back its 2002 net operating loss to the 1998 pre-acquisition tax year, referred to herein as the “Pre-acquisition Period” (see Note 2).  Phelps Dodge has agreed to permit the Company to carry back the 2002 net operating loss into the Pre-acquisition Period.

While Phelps Dodge did not pay any regular income tax in 1998 due to the utilization of foreign tax credits, it did incur alternative minimum tax.  Therefore, the tax refund of approximately $7.8 million representing 20% of the alternative minimum tax net operating loss has been recorded as a current tax benefit.  As the regular tax net operating loss utilized in the pre-acquisition period will not result in an income tax benefit, the Company recorded approximately $7.8 million of deferred tax expense.

The Company intends to permanently reinvest the undistributed earnings of Accuride Canada.  Accordingly, no provision for U.S. income taxes has been made for such earnings.  At December 31, 2002 Accuride Canada has $9.7 million of cumulative retained earnings.

F-19

At December 31, 2002, AdM had no cumulative retained earnings.  The Company previously treated undistributed earnings as permanently reinvested.  Accordingly, no provision for U.S. income taxes has ever been made for such earnings.

11.STOCK PURCHASE AND OPTION PLAN

Effective January 21, 1998, the Company adopted the 1998 Stock Purchase and Option Plan for key employees of Accuride Corporation and subsidiaries (the “1998 Plan”).

The 1998 Plan provides for the issuance of shares of authorized but unissued or reacquired shares of common stock subject to adjustment to reflect certain events such as stock dividends, stock splits, recapitalizations, mergers or reorganizations of or by the Company.  The 1998 Plan is intended to assist the Company in attracting and retaining employees of outstanding ability and to promote the identification of their interests with those of the stockholders of the Company.  The 1998 Plan permits the issuance of common stock (the “1998 Plan-Purchase Stock”) and the grant of non-qualified stock options (the “1998 Plan-Options”) to purchase shares of common stock (the issuance of 1998 Plan Purchase Stock and the grant of the 1998 Plan Options pursuant to the 1998 Plan being a “1998 Plan Grant”).  Unless sooner terminated by the Company’s Board of Directors, the 1998 Plan will expire ten years after adoption.  Such termination will not affect the validity of any 1998 Plan Grant outstanding on the date of the termination.

Pursuant to the original 1998 Plan, 2,667 shares of common stock of the Company were reserved for issuance under such plan.  In May 2002, an amendment to the Stock Purchase and Option Plan was passed, that increased the reserved for issuance under the plan to 3,247 shares.

1998 Plan-Purchase Stock—At December 31, 2002, the Company had issued 922 shares of common stock under the 1998 Plan Purchase Stock totaling $4,621 under the terms of stock subscription agreements with various management personnel of the Company.  During 2002 and 2001, respectively, 0 shares and 41 shares were repurchased as treasury stock at a cost of $0 and $230.  The unpaid principal balance of $121 under the stock subscription agreements has been recorded as a reduction of stockholders’ equity.

1998 Plan-Options—The following is an analysis of stock option activity pursuant to the 1998 Plan for each of the last two years ended December 31 and the stock options outstanding at the end of the respective year:

	Year ended December 31,
	2002				2001				2000
	Options		Weighted Average Price		Options		Weighted Average Price		Options		Weighted Average Price
Outstanding, beginning of year	1,229		$	5,017	1,648		$	5,014	1,669		$	5,000
Granted	1,572		$	1,750					95		$	5,250
Cancelled	—		—		(309	)	$	5,000
Forfeited or expired	(432	)	$	5,003	(110	)	$	5,006	(116	)	$	5,000
Outstanding at end of year	2,369		$	2,851	1,229		$	5,017	1,648		$	5,014
Options exercisable at end of year	1,108		$	3,858	952		$	5,012	865		$	5,010

F-20

All originally issued time options vest in equal installments over a five-year period from the date of the grant.  Subsequently issued time options vest over a four-year period.  Performance options vest after approximately eight years, or can vest at an accelerated rate if the Company meets certain performance objectives.  As of December 31, 2002, options outstanding have an exercise price ranging between $1,750 and $5,250 per share and a weighted average remaining contractual life of 8.2 years.

In 2001, the Company offered eligible employees the opportunity to exchange performance options with an exercise price of $5,000 per share or more that were scheduled to vest in 2001 and 2002 for new options which the Company granted in 2002 under the 1998 Plan.  The new options will vest over a period of four years and have an exercise price of $1,750.  In April 2002, the Company issued 179.3 options at $1,750 pursuant to the exchange agreement executed in October, 2001.

The weighted average fair value of options granted in 2002 was $1,420.  The fair value of the option grants is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following assumptions: dividend yield equaling 0%, risk-free interest rates ranging from 4.15% - 4.24%, expected volatilities assumed to be 0% and expected lives of approximately 5 years.  The weighted average fair value of options granted in 2000 was $3,745.  The fair value of the option grants is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following assumptions: dividend yield equaling 0%, risk-free interest rates ranging from 4.90% - 6.60%, expected volatilities assumed to be 0% and expected lives of approximately 7 years.  The pro forma amounts are not representative of the effects on reported net income for future years.

12.COMMITMENTS

The Company leases certain plant, office space and equipment for varying periods.  Management expects that in the normal course of business, leases will be renewed or replaced by other leases.

Rent expense for the years ended December 31, 2002, 2001 and 2000 was $2,443, $2,372 and $3,072, respectively.  Future minimum lease payments for all noncancelable operating leases having a remaining term in excess of one year at December 31, 2002 are as follows:

2003	$	1,843
2004	1,286
2005	1,142
2006	946
2007	883
Thereafter	1,586
Total	$	7,686

13.CONTINGENCIES

The Company is from time to time involved in various legal proceedings of a character normally incident to its business.  Management does not believe that the outcome of these proceedings will have a material adverse effect on the consolidated financial condition or results of operations of the Company.

The Company’s operations are subject to federal, state and local environmental laws, rules and regulations.  Pursuant to the Recapitalization of the Company on January 21, 1998, the Company was

F-21

indemnified by PDC with respect to certain environmental liabilities at its Henderson and London facilities, subject to certain limitations.  Pursuant to the AKW acquisition agreement on April 1, 1999, in which Accuride purchased Kaiser Aluminum and Chemical Corporation’s (“Kaiser”) 50% interest in AKW, the Company has been indemnified by Kaiser with respect to certain environmental liabilities relating to the facilities leased by AKW.  On February 12, 2002, Kaiser filed a voluntary petition in the

United States Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware for reorganization under Chapter 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code which could limit the Company’s ability to receive indemnification amounts, if necessary, from Kaiser.  Management does not believe that the outcome of any environmental proceedings will have a material adverse effect on the consolidated financial condition or results of operations of the Company.

14.SEGMENT REPORTING

The Company operates in one business segment: the design, manufacture and distribution of wheels and rims for trucks, trailers, and other vehicles.

15.FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

The estimated fair value amounts of financial instruments have been determined by the Company using available market information and appropriate valuation methodologies.  However, considerable judgment is required in interpreting market data to develop the estimates of fair value.  Accordingly, the estimates presented herein are not necessarily indicative of the amounts that the Company could realize in a current market exchange.  The use of different market assumptions and/or estimation methodologies may have an effect on the estimated fair value amounts.

The carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents, trade receivables, and accounts payable approximate fair value because of the relatively short maturity of these instruments.  The carrying amounts and related estimated fair values for the Company’s remaining financial instruments are as follows:

	December 31, 2002				December 31, 2001
	Carrying Amount		Estimated Fair Value		Carrying Amount		Estimated Fair Value
Assets
Interest Rate Cap					$	292	$	292
Commodity Price Contracts	$	47	$	47
Liabilities
Interest Rate Swap	$	3,232	$	3,232
Foreign Exchange Forward Contracts	$	114	$	114	$	913	$	913
Commodity Price Contracts	$	9	$	9	$	612	$	612
Total Debt	$	474,155	$	368,265	$	476,550	$	353,792

Fair values relating to derivative financial instruments reflect the estimated amounts that the Company would receive or pay to terminate the contracts at the reporting date based on quoted market prices of comparable contracts as of December 31.

The fair value of the Company’s long-term debt has been determined on the basis of the specific securities issued and outstanding.  All of the Company’s long-term debt is at variable rates at December 31, 2002 and 2001 except for the senior subordinated notes which have a fixed interest rate of 9.25% (see Note 8).

F-23

16.RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

Effective January 21, 1998, the Company and KKR entered into a management agreement providing for the performance by KKR of certain management, consulting and financial services for the Company.  The Company expensed approximately $600 in each of the three years ended December 31, 2002, pursuant to such management agreement.  As of December 31, 2002, the Company had recorded a Prepaid Expense of $150 to KKR for these services.
