ITEM 2.
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Net sales for the quarter ending March 31, 1996, increased 12% to $177.3
million from $157.7 million for the first quarter of 1995. The change from the
equity method of accounting to the consolidation method for the Sirmac Group
beginning July 1, 1995 accounted for the majority of the increase in sales for
the quarter.
Sales in the Agricultural market were $86.2 million for the first quarter as
compared to $71.6 million in 1995. The 20% increase was due primarily to the
addition of the Sirmac Group in the consolidated financial statements. Titan's
Construction market sales were $40.4 million for the first quarter as compared
to $30.5 million in 1995, with the 32% increase primarily due to the addition
of the Sirmac Group and the acquisition of Steel Wheels. Consumer product
sales were $42.4 million for the first quarter, as compared to $48.8 million in
1995. The decrease is primarily due to an $8.4 million reduction in sales of
light truck tires to Pirelli Armstrong Tire Corporation (PATC), which resulted
from the expiration of an agreement to produce such tires.
Selling, general and administrative ("SG&A") and research and development
("R&D") expenses for the first quarter of 1996 were $12.4 million or 7% of net
sales compared to $10 million and 6.4% of sales for 1995. Income from
operations for the quarter increased 11% to $20.7 million or 11.7% of sales
compared to $18.7 million, or 11.9% in 1995. Income from operations, as a
percentage of sales, decreased due to both the additional SG&A expenses
contributed by the consolidation of the Sirmac Group and the acquisition of
Steel Wheels, and production shutdowns at several facilities due to inclement
weather.
Interest expense decreased $.6 million for the quarter as compared to the prior
year. The decrease was due to lower revolving debt and subordinated
convertible note balances, partially offset by interest expense related to the
Sirmac Group.
Net income for the first quarter was $11 million in 1996, compared to $9.3
million in 1995, an 18% increase. Earnings per common share (on a fully
diluted basis) for the first quarter of 1996 was $.40, consistent with first
quarter 1995 earnings per share. However, the average number of fully diluted
common shares outstanding has increased 17% between the first quarters of 1995
and 1996 due to the June 1995 stock offering.

ITEM 2.
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Cash flows from operations of $5.5 million were attributed to net income before
depreciation and amortization and increases in accounts payable and other
current liabilities. These amounts were substantially offset by increases in
receivables and inventory. Increases in accounts receivable, inventory,
accounts payable and other current liabilities were primarily due to increases
in sales and production for the first quarter of 1996 as compared to the fourth
quarter of 1995.
The Company has invested $6.1 million in capital expenditures in 1996,
including the purchase of surplus bias tire equipment from Continental General
Tire, Inc. The balance represents various equipment purchases and building
improvements to enhance production capabilities. In January 1996, the Company
completed its purchase of the manufacturing segment of Titan GmbH for $.9
million.
