E. Minority interest
Minority interest in the net income of the Sirmac Group of $2.1 million
at June 30, 1996, is included in other long-term liabilities.
F. Environmental matter
The Company's Dico, Inc. subsidiary is involved in an ongoing
environmental matter associated with its Des Moines, Iowa site. At June
30, 1996, the Company has an accrual of $5.7 million for remaining costs
associated with the matter.
G. Stock repurchase program
On May 23, 1996, the Board of Directors of the Company authorized the
repurchase of up to five million shares (approximately 22 percent of the
outstanding shares) of Titan Wheel International, Inc. common stock. The
Company may make these common stock purchases periodically in the open
market. As of June 30, 1996, the Company had purchased 50,000 shares
under the aforementioned program. During July, 1996, the Company
purchased an additional 250,000 shares under the program.
H. Sale of assets
On June 1, 1996, the Company sold the assets of Automation International,
Inc. (AII) to Automation International Holdings, Inc., comprised of former
AII management. AII specializes in manufacturing and rebuilding welding
and automation equipment. The Company's net sales, net income and
earnings per share for the three and six months ended June 30, 1996, and
1995, would not have been significantly different had the disposition
occurred on January 1, 1995.

(UNAUDITED)
I. SUBSEQUENT EVENT
Effective July 23, 1996, the Company acquired the remaining 50% of the
Sirmac Group located in Italy. The Sirmac Group is a manufacturer of
specialty wheels and other products for the agricultural and construction
markets. On November 21, 1994, the Company acquired 50% of the common
stock of the Sirmac Group which was initially accounted for under the
equity method. Effective July 1, 1995, Titan was able to exert control
over the Sirmac Group by making day to day operational decisions;
therefore, the Company began consolidating the Sirmac Group in its
financial statements.
Had the acquisition of 100% of the Sirmac Group occurred on January 1,
1995, net sales for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 1995,
would have been $182.0 and $359.0 million, respectively. Net sales for
1996 would not have been different, as the Sirmac Group was consolidated
with the Company beginning July 1, 1995. Net income and fully diluted
earnings per share would have been $11.5 million and $.41 for the three
month period ended June 30, 1996, and $23.0 million and $.82 for the six
month period ended June 30, 1996.

ITEM 2.
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Net sales for the quarter ended June 30, 1996, were $167.0 million, an increase
of 6% over 1995 second quarter sales of $157.6 million. Sales on a year to
date basis were $344.3 million, an increase of 9% over 1995 sales of $315.4
million. 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 and the year to date period.
Sales in the Agricultural market were $78.3 and $164.5 million for the second
quarter and year to date respectively, as compared to $66.8 and $138.4 million
in 1995. The increase was due primarily to the addition of the Sirmac Group.
The Company's Construction market sales were $36.3 and $76.7 million for the
second quarter and year to date respectively, as compared to $33.3 and $63.8
million in 1995, with the increase primarily due to the addition of the Sirmac
Group. Consumer product sales were $43.0 and $85.4 million for the second
quarter and year to date respectively, as compared to $47.9 and $96.7 million in
1995. The decrease, for the quarter and year to date period, was primarily
due to a $12.5 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.
Primarily due to the addition of the Sirmac Group in the consolidated financial
statements, cost of sales increased $7.1 and $22.3 million for the second
quarter and year to date respectively. Gross profit for the second quarter was
$30.4 million, or 18.2% of net sales, compared to $28.2 million, or 17.9% of
net sales for the second quarter of 1995. Gross profit on a year to date
basis was $63.5 million, or 18.5% of net sales, compared to $56.9, or 18.0% of
net sales for 1995. Gross profit was positively affected by strong
margins from the Company's European divisions.
Selling, general and administrative ("SG&A") and research and development
("R&D") expenses for the second quarter of 1996 were $11.2 million or 6.7% of
net sales compared to $9.7 million and 6.2% of sales for 1995. Year to date
SG&A and R&D expenses were $23.7 million and 6.9% of sales as compared to $19.8
million and 6.3% of sales for 1995. Income from operations for the quarter
increased 4.0% to $19.2 million or 11.5% of sales compared to $18.4 million,
or 11.7% in 1995. Income from operations for the quarter, as a percentage of
sales, decreased primarily due to a higher level of SG&A expenses contributed
by the addition of the Sirmac Group in the consolidated financial statements.
The Company's lower revolving debt and subordinated convertible note balances
contributed to reduced interest expense, partially offset by the consolidation
of the interest cost of the Sirmac Group. Interest expense decreased $.5 and
$1.2 million for the quarter and year to date respectively, as compared to the
prior year.

ITEM 2.
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (CONTINUED)
Net income for the second quarter and year to date respectively, were $10.5 and
$21.5 million in 1996, compared to $10.0 and $19.3 million in 1995. Earnings
per common share (on a fully diluted basis) were $.38 and $.78 for the second
quarter and year to date respectively, as compared to $.42 and $.82 in 1995. The
average number of 1996 fully diluted common shares outstanding has increased 14%
and 16% for the quarter and year to date respectively, due to a June 1995 common
stock offering.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Cash flows from operations of $26.7 million were attributed to net income and
increases in other accrued liabilities. These amounts were partially offset by
increases in inventory and receivables. Increases in receivables, inventory,
and other accrued liabilities were primarily due to higher sales and production
for the second quarter of 1996 as compared to the fourth quarter of 1995.
The Company has invested $14.1 million in capital expenditures in 1996,
including $2.3 million for the purchase, rebuilding and installation of surplus
bias tire equipment from Continental General Tire, Inc. The balance represents
various equipment purchases and building improvements to enhance production
capabilities.
At June 30, 1996, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $20.3 million.
Cash on hand, anticipated internal cash flows and utilization of available
borrowing under the Company's credit facilities are expected to provide
sufficient liquidity for working capital needs, capital expenditures and
acquisitions for the foreseeable future.
