                  represents operating income plus depreciation and amortization.
                  EBITDA
                  does not represent, and should not be considered as, an alternative
                  to net
                  income, as an indicator of our operating performance, or as an
                  alternative
                  to cash flow as an indicator of liquidity. We believe that EBITDA
                  provides
                  a useful measure of our performance that is widely used by investors
                  and
                  analysts to evaluate our performance and compare it with other
                  companies.
                  In making such comparisons, however, you should bear in mind that
                  EBITDA
                  is not defined and is not a recognized financial measure under
                  Mexican

                  different

      in the steel industry is significant. Continuous advances in materials sciences

      aluminum, ceramics and glass, all of which compete with steel products.
      Competition in the steel industry exerts a downward pressure on prices, and,
      due
      to high start-up costs, the economics of operating a steel mill on a continuous
      basis may encourage mill operators to establish and maintain high levels of
      output even in times of low demand, which further decreases prices and profit
      margins. The recent trend of consolidation in the global steel industry may
      increase competitive pressures on independent producers of our size if large
      steel producers formed through consolidations adopt predatory pricing strategies
      that decrease prices and profit margins even further. If we are unable to remain
      competitive with these producers, our market share and financial performance
      may

      governance, disclosure and reporting standards and to impose sanctions for
      the

      December 2006) will be available for issuers to incorporate the new corporate
      governance and other requirements derived from the new law into their by-laws.
      The new Mexican Securities Market Law changed the Mexican securities regulation

      offer
      securities to the public in Mexico, an issuer must meet specific qualitative
      and
      quantitative requirements. In addition, only securities that have been
      registered with the Mexican National Securities Registry as authorized by
      National Banking and Securities Commission approval may be listed on the Mexican
      Stock Exchange. The authorization of the National Banking and Securities
      Commission with respect to the registration does not imply any kind of
      certification or assurance related to the investment quality of the securities,
      the solvency of the issuer, or the accuracy or completeness of any information
      delivered to the National Banking and Securities Commission. The general
      regulations state that the Mexican Stock Exchange must adopt minimum
      requirements for issuers to list their securities in Mexico. These requirements
      relate to matters such as operating history, financial and capital structure,
      minimum trading volumes and minimum public floats, among others. The general
      regulations also state that the Mexican Stock Exchange must implement minimum
      requirements for issuers to maintain their listing in Mexico. These requirements
      relate to matters such as financial condition, trading minimums, capital
      structure and minimum public floats, among others. The National Banking and
      Securities Commission may waive some of these requirements in certain
      circumstances. In addition, some of the requirements are applicable to each
      series of shares of the relevant issuer.</font></div>

      Mexican Stock Exchange will review compliance with the foregoing requirements

      also do it at any other time. The Mexican Stock Exchange must inform the
      National Banking and Securities Commission of the results of its review and
      this
      information must, in turn, be disclosed to investors. If an issuer fails to
      comply with any of the foregoing requirements, the Mexican Stock Exchange will
      request that the issuer propose a plan to cure the violation. If the issuer
      fails to propose a plan, if the plan is not satisfactory to the Mexican Stock
      Exchange or if an issuer does not make substantial progress with respect to
      the
      corrective measures, trading of the relevant series of shares on the Mexican
      Stock Exchange will be temporarily suspended. In addition, if an issuer fails
      to
      propose a plan or ceases to follow the plan once proposed, the National Banking
      and Securities Commission may suspend or cancel the registration of the shares,
      in which case the majority shareholder or any controlling group must carry

      consolidated financial statements and Note 16 to our unaudited condensed
      consolidated interim financial statements for the six-month period ended June
      30, 2006 provide a summary of the principal differences between Mexican GAAP

      GAAP provides for the recognition of certain effects of inflation by restating
      non-monetary assets and non-monetary liabilities using the Mexican National
      Consumer Price Index, restating the components of stockholders&#8217; equity using the
      Mexican National Consumer Price Index and recording gains or losses in
      purchasing power from holding monetary liabilities or assets. Mexican GAAP
      also
      requires the restatement of all financial statements to constant Mexican pesos
      as of the date of the most recent balance sheet presented. Our audited

      are
      producers of SBQ and structural steel products. Accordingly, our net sales
      and
      profitability are highly dependent on market conditions in the steel industry
      which is greatly influenced by general economic conditions in North America
      and
      elsewhere. As a result of the significant competition in the steel industry
      and
      the commodity-like nature of some of our products, we have limited pricing
      power
      over many of our products. The North American and global steel markets influence
      finished steel product prices. Nevertheless, the majority of our products are
      SBQ products for which competition is limited, therefore generating somewhat
      higher margins as compared with our more commoditized steel products. We attempt
      to adjust the mix of our product output toward higher margin products to the
      extent that we are able to do so, and we also adjust our overall product levels
      based on the product demand and marginal profitability of doing so.</font></div>

      focus
      on controlling our direct cost of sales as well as our indirect manufacturing,
      selling, general and administrative expenses. Our direct cost of sales largely
      consist of the costs of acquiring the raw materials necessary to manufacture
      steel, primarily scrap and iron ore. Market supply and demand generally
      determine scrap and iron ore prices, and, as a result, we have limited ability
      to influence their cost or the costs of other raw materials, including energy
      costs. </font><font style="DISPLAY: inline; FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: Times New Roman">There
      is
      a correlation between the prices of scrap and iron ore and finished product
      prices, although the degree and timing of this correlation varies from time
      to
      time, so we may not always be able to fully pass along scrap, iron ore and
      other
      raw material price increases to our customers. Therefore, our ability to
      decrease our direct cost of sales as a percentage of net sales is largely
      dependent on increasing our productivity.</font></div>

      cost of sales of the Republic facilities is mainly a result of higher labor

      2006 compared to financial expense of Ps. 35 million in the same period of
      2005.
      Financial income or expense reflects the sum of three components: exchange
      gain
      or loss, net interest income or expense, and gain or loss from monetary
      position. We recorded an exchange gain of approximately Ps. 19 million in the
      six months ended June 30, 2006 compared to an exchange loss of Ps. 36 million
      in
      the same period of 2005, reflecting a 5.7% decrease in the value of the peso
      compared to the dollar in the six months ended June 30, 2006 compared to a
      3.7%
      increase in the value of the peso versus the dollar in the same period of 2005.
      Net interest income was Ps. 15 million in the six months ended June 30, 2006
      compared to Ps. 8 million in the same period of 2005 and Ps. 77 million on
      a pro
      forma basis. We recorded a gain from monetary position of Ps. 12 million in
      the
      six months ended June 30, 2006 compared to a loss from monetary position of
      Ps.
      8 million in the same period of 2005, reflecting the domestic inflation rate
      of
      0.7% in the six months ended June 30, 2006 as compared to 0.8% in the same
      period of 2005. We attribute the increase in financial income to exchange gains
      due to a decrease in the value of the peso relative to the dollar and to higher
      interest net income due in part to our low levels of debt. </font></div>

      of taxes, in the coming years, of its inventory balance at December 31, 2004
      due
      to a corporate restructure (spin-off of its subsidiary COSICA) of the company.
      In addition, there was a decrease in the deferred assets valuation allowance
      based on an improvement on the recovery of these assets. For the six month
      period ended June 30, 2006 the effective tax rate was lower than the 29% and
      35%

      has a committed secured revolving line of credit from General Electric Capital
      Corporation (&#8220;GE Capital&#8221;) under which it can borrow up to U.S.$150 million (the
&#8220;GE Facility&#8221;), which matures on May 20, 2009, extendible for one year at the
      option of Republic. This facility is secured by all of Republic&#8217;s inventory and
      accounts receivable and bears interest based on one of the two following
      formulas, at Republic&#8217;s discretion: (1) at an indexed rate equal to the highest
      prime rate published by the Wall Street Journal, plus the applicable margin,
      or
      the federal funds rate plus 50 base percentage points per year and the
      applicable margin, or (2) LIBOR plus the applicable margin. Margins were
      adjusted based on the available rate for the quarter on a base established
      in
      advance. Republic has not borrowed any amounts under this facility to date.
      The
      GE Facility contains covenants including restrictions on the amount of capital
      expenditures and maintenance of a minimum fixed charge coverage ratio.

      the

      year or less). Based upon our analysis of the impact of a 100 basis point

                with

      2006, our crude steel production capacity was 3.4 million tons, of which 1.0
      million tons were based on an integrated blast furnace technology, and 2.4
      million were based on electric arc furnace, or mini-mill, technology. Our
      Mexican facilities have 1.1 million tons of crude steel production capacity,
      operating three mini-mill facilities. Our U.S. operations have 2.4 million
      tons
      of crude steel production capacity. In addition, we have 2.8 million tons of

      operate four mini-mills, three in Mexico and one in the United States. The
      Mexican mini-mills are located in Guadalajara, Jalisco; Apizaco, Tlaxcala and
      Mexicali, Baja California. Our mini-mill in the United States is located in
      Canton, Ohio, and we have recently completed a revamping process that has
      increased capacity of the mill to 1,300,000 tons of steel billet. We also
      operate an integrated blast furnace in Lorain, Ohio. There is a second blast
      furnace in the same facility with 750,000 tons of yearly capacity that is not
      currently operating, but that we believe could be made operational with
      relatively low levels of investment. We operate rolling and finishing facility
      in each of our mill facilities in Cholula and in the United States and Canada.

      we operate both mini-mill and integrated blast furnace production facilities,
      we
      can allocate production between each type of facility based on efficiency and
      cost. In addition, as long as our facilities are not operating at full capacity,
      we can allocate production based on the relative cost of basic inputs (iron
      ore,
      coke, scrap and electricity) to the facility where production costs would be
      the
      lowest. Our production facilities are designed to permit the rapid changeover
      from one product to another. This flexibility permits us to efficiently produce
      small volume orders to meet customer needs and to produce varying quantities
      of
      standard product. Production runs, or campaigns, occur on four to eight weeks
      cycles, minimizing customer waiting time for both standard and specialized
      products.</font></div>

      continuous casters produce long, square strands of steel that are cut into
      billet and transferred to the rolling mills for further processing or, in some
      cases, sold to other steel producers. In the rolling mills, the billet is
      reheated in a walking beam furnace with preheating burners, passed through
      a
      rolling mill for size reduction and conformed into final sections and sizes.
      The
      shapes are then cut into a variety of lengths. In addition, to producing billet,
      our Canton, Ohio facility also produces blooms.</font></div>

      mini-mill plants use an electric arc furnace to melt ferrous scrap and other
      metallic components, which are then cast into long, square bars called billet
      in
      a continuous casting process, all of which occurs in a melt shop. The billet
      is
      then transferred to a rolling mill, reheated and rolled into finished product.
      In contrast, an integrated steel mill heats iron pellets and other primary
      materials in a blast furnace to first produce pig iron, that must be refined
      in
      a basic oxygen furnace to liquid steel, and then cast to billet and finished
      product. Mini-mill plants typically produce certain steel products more
      efficiently because of the lower energy requirements resulting from their
      smaller size and because of their use of ferrous scrap. Mini-mills are designed
      to provide shorter production runs with relatively fast product changeover
      times. Integrated steel mills are more efficient in producing longer runs and
      are able to produce certain steel products that a mini-mill cannot.</font></div>

      In

      billet produced at the Mexicali facility is used primarily by the Guadalajara
      facility. This allows us to increase the utilization of the Guadalajara
      facility&#8217;s finishing capacity, which exceeds its production capacity. In 2005,
      the Mexicali mini-mill produced approximately 385,873 tons of billet, of which
      the Guadalajara mini-mill used 104,415 tons, the Apizaco mini-mill 60,124 used
      tons, and we sold 12,870 tons to third parties. In 2005, the Mexicali mini-mill
      produced 201,607 tons of finished product. In 2005 we operated the Mexican
      mini-mill at 90% capacity for billet production and at 81% capacity for finished
      product production. Our facility is strategically located and has access to
      key
      markets in Mexico and the United States, stable sources of scrap, electricity,
      a
      highly skilled workforce and other raw materials. The Mexicali mini-mill also
      is
      situated near major highways and a railroad linking the Mexicali and Guadalajara
      mini-mills, allowing for coordinated production at the two facilities. Our
      Mexicali facility mainly produces structurals, light structurals and rebar.
      In
      2005, 66% of the products produced at the Mexicali mini-mill were rebar, 15%
      were angles, 9% were hot rolled bars (round, square and hexagonal rods) and
      the
      remaining 10% were other products, principally channels and flat bars.

      We have
      operated the Apizaco mini-mill and Cholula facility since August 1, 2004. The
      mini-mill is located in central Mexico in Apizaco, Tlaxcala. Our Apizaco
      facilities and equipment include one EBT Danieli electric arc furnace utilizing
      water-cooled sidewalls and roof, two ladle stations (one Danieli and the other
      Daido), one Daido degasification station, one Danieli four-strand continuous
      caster, two walking beam reheating furnaces and two rolling mills (one Danieli
      and the other Pomini). This facility has an annual installed capacity of 380,000
      tons of steel billet and an annual installed capacity of finished product of
      432,000 tons. In 2005, the Apizaco mini-mill produced 377,832 tons of steel
      billet, of which the Guadalajara mini-mill used 3,685 tons, and 392,681 tons
      of
      finished products. Our Apizaco facility is 1,112 miles from Mexicali and less
      than 124 miles from Mexico D.F. Our Apizaco facility mainly produces SBQ steel,
      light structurals and rebar. Our Cholula facility is approximately 25 miles
      from
      our Apizaco facility, which allows the integrated operations of the Apizaco
      mini-mill and Cholula facility. Our Cholula facilities and equipment include
      cold drawing and turning machines for peeling bars. This facility has an annual
      installed capacity of finished product of 48,000 tons. In 2005, the Cholula
      facility produced 32,494 tons of finished product, at 68% capacity. Our Cholula
      facility mainly produces cold finished SBQ steel.</font></div>

      steel product sales represented SBQ steel products, of which we sold 45% to

      auto part industry, 15% to service centers, 13% for energy related products,
      5%
      for hand tools, 5% for mining equipment and the remaining 17% to other
      industries. We estimate that 85% of our total production comes from special

      truck. Customer needs and location dictate the type of transportation used
      for
      deliveries. The proximity of our rolling mills and cold finishing plants to

      U.S. customers allows us to provide competitive rail and truck freight rates

      a key
      to attracting and retaining customers as more SBQ product consumers reduce
      their

      producers when shipping to customers in central and southern Mexico, and our
      flexible production facility gives us the ability to ship specialty products
      in
      relatively small quantities with short lead times. The Mexicali mini-mill has

      &#8220;niche&#8221; products to our customer base that our U.S. competitors cannot provide;
      for example we are the sole U.S. producer of long lead steel. The ability of
      a

      to remain, important as customers continue to reduce their in-plant raw material

      (56% of the direct cost in our Mexico operations and 17.5% of the direct cost

      ended June 30, 2006 (55% of the direct cost in our Mexico operations and 25%
      of
      the direct cost in our U.S. operations). Ferrous scrap is principally generated
      from automobile, industrial, naval and railroad industries. The market for
      ferrous scrap is influenced by availability, freight costs, speculation by
      scrap
      brokers and other conditions largely beyond our control. Fluctuations in scrap
      costs directly influence the cost of sales of finished goods.</font></div>

      In
      September 2001, Mexico&#8217;s Ministry of Economy announced a one-year increase in
      tariffs to 25% on 39 steel products imported into Mexico from countries with
      which Mexico does not have a free trade agreement. On March 15, 2002, Mexico&#8217;s
      Ministry of Economy announced an immediate increase of such tariffs to 35%.
      In
      September 2002, the average tariffs returned to 25% and remained at that level
      for 12 months. From September 2003 to March 2003, tariffs were set at 18%,
      and
      in April 2004, they returned to their previous levels (18% for coated steel
      and
      13% for the rest of the products). </font></div>

      property which it rents from a third party. In this same month, the Department

      soil management and metal recovery operations may cause an imminent and
      substantial danger to human health and the environment. Consequently, the
      department sanctioned Pacific Steel for violating hazardous waste laws and
      the
      State of California Security Code and imposed the obligation to make necessary
      changes to the location. In July 2004, in an effort to continue with this order,
      the department filed a Complaint for Civil Penalties and Injunctive Relief
      in
      San Diego Superior Court. On July 26, 2004, the court issued a judgment, whereby
      Pacific Steel is obligated to pay $235,000 (payable in four payments of $58,750
      over the course of one year) for fines of $131,250, the department's costs

      are
      required to obtain the necessary information from the general director, the

      we
      entered into an agreement with the purchasers pursuant to which the interest
      accrued as of December 31, 1994 was capitalized, the debt was converted into
      pesos with no interest accruing from January 1995, and the entire principal
      amount was to be paid no later than December 31, 1996. The executive officer
      of
      Ferrometal timely paid his obligations. Mr. Gonz&#225;lez, however, still owes us
      approximately Ps. 10 million in nominal pesos at December 31, 2002. We obtained

      This proceeding is not completed, however, and we are not yet entitled to
      execute on the judgment. We have established a reserve equal to 100% of the

      entered into an agreement to pay $1.3 million Ps. 156 million to us. In 2004,
      the successors of Mr. Gonz&#225;lez paid us a total of $1.3 million (Ps. 15.6

      of

      be entitled to judicial relief against any such action taken without such a

      initially would determine whether an action requires a class vote on these

      an
      affected shareholder, and a court ultimately would determine the necessity
      for a

      shareholder action requires a class vote, and Mexican law does not provide
      extensive guidance on the criteria to be applied in making such a

      ADRs (even if the ADRs are canceled before the pre-release transaction has
      been
      closed out). A pre-release is closed out as soon as the underlying series B
      shares are delivered to the depositary. The depositary may receive ADRs instead
      of series B shares to close out a pre-release. The depositary may pre-release
      ADRs only under the following conditions: (1) before or at the time of the
      pre-release, the person to whom the pre-release is being made represents to
      the
      depositary in writing that it or its customer owns the series B shares or ADRs
      to be deposited; (2) the pre-release is fully collateralized with cash or other
      collateral that the depositary considers appropriate; and (3) the depositary
      must be able to close out the pre-release on not more than five business days'
      notice. In addition, the depositary will limit the number of ADSs that may
      be
      outstanding at any time as a result of pre-release, although the depositary
      may
      disregard the limit from time to time, if it thinks it is appropriate to do

      connection with the offering, the representative on behalf of the underwriters,
      may purchase and sell ADSs or series B shares in the open market. These
      transactions may include short sales, syndicate covering transactions and
      stabilizing transactions. Short sales involve syndicate sales of ADSs or series
      B shares in excess of the number of ADSs or series B shares to be purchased
      by
      the Mexican underwriters and the international underwriters in the offering,
      which creates a syndicate short position. &#8216;&#8216;Covered&#8217;&#8217; short sales are sales of
      ADSs or series B shares made in an amount up to the number of ADSs or series
      B
      shares represented by the Mexican underwriters&#8217; and international underwriters&#8217;
over-allotment option. In determining the source of series B shares to close
      out
      the covered syndicate short position, the representative will consider, among
      other things, the price of ADSs or series B shares available for purchase in
      the
      open market as compared to the price at which they may purchase ADSs or series
      B
      shares through the over-allotment option. Transactions to close out the covered
      syndicate short position involve either purchases of ADSs or series B shares
      in
      the open market after the distribution has been completed or the exercise of
      the
      over-allotment option. The international underwriters may also make &#8216;&#8216;naked&#8217;&#8217;
short sales of ADSs in excess of the over-allotment option. The Mexican
      underwriters are not permitted to make &#8220;naked&#8221; short sales of series B shares on
      the Mexican Stock Exchange. The international underwriters must close out any
      naked short position by purchasing ADSs in the open market. A naked short
      position is more likely to be created if the Mexican underwriters and the
      international underwriters are concerned that there may be downward pressure
      on
      the price of the ADSs or series B shares in the open market after pricing that
      could adversely affect investors who purchase in the offering. Stabilizing
      transactions consist of bids for or purchases of ADSs or series B shares in
      the
      open market while the offering is in progress.</font></div>

      underwriters also may impose a penalty bid. Penalty bids permit the underwriters

      to cover syndicate short positions or make stabilizing purchases. </font></div>

      the ADSs or series B shares to be higher than the price that would otherwise
      exist in the open market in the absence of these transactions. The international
      underwriters and the Mexican underwriters may conduct these transactions on
      the
      AMEX or the Mexican Stock Exchange or in the over-the-counter market, or

      Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act
      of
      1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the
      registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the registrant
      has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission
      such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities
      Act
      and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification
      against such liabilities (other than the payment by the registrant of expenses
      incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the registrant
      in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by
      such
      director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being
      registered, the registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter
      has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate
      jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public
      policy as expressed in the Act and will be governed by the final adjudication
      of
      such issue.</font></div>

        for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances,
        but
        not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the
        Company&#8217;s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no
        such opinion. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting
        the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the
        accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management,
        and
        evaluating the overall financial presentation. We believe that our audit
        and the
        report of other independent auditors provide a reasonable basis for our
        opinion.</font></div>

          accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight
          Board
          (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit
          to
          obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are
          free of
          material misstatement. The Company is not required to have, nor were we
          engaged
          to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting.
          Our audit
          included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as
          a basis
          for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances,
          but
          not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the
          Company&#8217;s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no
          such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence
          supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing
          the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management,
          as
          well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe
          that
          our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion. </font></div>

        contracts are recognized on the balance sheet at fair value. The swaps are
        considered as cash flow hedges since the cash flow exchanges under the swap
        are
        highly effective in mitigating exposure to natural gas price fluctuations.
        The
        fair value of the swaps are recorded as part of Comprehensive income in

        Ps.
        68,329 and Ps. 200,655, respectively. In 2004, the Company had a valuation
        allowance that covered almost the total amount of the recoverable asset tax
        and
        tax loss carryforwards due to the uncertainty of their recovery. However,
        in
        2005 the Company recovered part of the recoverable asset tax and reduced
        deferred tax assets by Ps. 84,086. As a result of the asset tax recovery,
        the
        Company estimated that a higher amount of deferred tax assets is more likely
        than not to be recovered, consequently it reduced its valuation allowance
        on its
        deferred tax asset as of December 31, 2005 The net change in the valuation
        allowance for the years ended December 31, 2005 and 2004 was a decrease of
        Ps.
        132,326 and Ps. 1,536, respectively.</font></div>

                  SimRep
                  Corporation, a U.S. company. Such transaction was valued at USD

                  million where USD 229 million corresponds to the purchase price
                  and USD 16
                  million, to the direct cost of the business combination. The Company
                  contributed USD 123 million to acquire 50.2% of the representative
                  shares
                  of SimRep Corporation and Industrias CH, the holding company, acquired
                  the
                  remaining 49.8%. SimRep then acquired all the shares from Republic
                  through
                  a stock purchase agreement. Under the terms of the stock purchase
                  agreement, the Company acquired the right to a portion of the
                  reimbursement from an unresolved insurance claim. Any receipts
                  will change
                  the final purchase accounting adjustment to reflect the fair value
                  of the
                  assets acquired and liabilities assumed (See Note 17 c). Republic
                  has six
                  production plants: five in the United States and one in Canada.
                  The

                  Company engaged in derivative financial instruments with PEMEX
                  Gas y
                  Petroqu&#237;mica B&#225;sica, for hedging purposes to cover natural gas price

        the Community Development Commission of National City, California (CDC) has

        for Pacific Steel&#8217;s land at market value, less the cost of remediation and less
        certain investigation costs incurred. Pacific Steel has informed the CDC
        that
        the land will not be voluntarily sold unless there is an alternate property
        where it could relocate its business. The CDC, in accordance with the State
        of
        California law, has the power to expropriate in exchange for payment at market
        value and, in the event that there is no other land available to relocate
        the
        business, it would also have to pay Pacific Steel the land&#8217;s book value. The CDC
        made an offer to purchase the land from Pacific Steel for USD 6.9 million,
        based
        on a business appraisal. The expropriation process was temporarily suspended
        through an agreement entered into by both parties in April 2006. This agreement
        allows Pacific Steel to explore the possibility of finishing the remediation
        process of the land and to propose an attractive alternative to CDC which
        would
        allow the Company to remain in the area.</font></div>

        February 7, 2001, the Company&#8217;s Board of Directors approved the issuance of
        492,852,025 shares of Series &#8220;B&#8221; variable capital stock in exchange for the
        extinguishment of debt amounting to USD 110,257,012. Under Mexican GAAP,
        the
        increase in stockholders&#8217; equity resulting from the conversion or extinguishment
        of debt is equal to the carrying amount of the extinguished debt. The Company
        assigned a value of USD 110,257,012 to the Series &#8220;B&#8221; capital stock and,
        therefore, no difference existed between the equity interest granted and
        the
        carrying amount of the debt extinguished. Under U.S. GAAP, the difference
        between the fair value of equity interest granted and the carrying amount
        of
        extinguished debt is recognized as a gain or loss on extinguishment of debt
        in
        the statement of operations. For U.S. GAAP purposes, the fair value of the
        Series &#8220;B&#8221; capital stock was determined by reference to the quoted market price
        on March 29, 2001, the date the transaction was effected, and the difference
        between the fair value of the Series &#8220;B&#8221; capital stock and the carrying amount
        of the extinguished debt was recognized as a gain in the statement of
        operations. The related restated effect as of December 31, 2005 is Ps.

        months prior to December 31 of each year, to redeem those shares at a price
        equal to the lesser of either (i) 95% of the market price, based on an average

        capital because the timing and pricing mechanism through which a shareholder
        would exercise the option to redeem are such that a shareholder, from an
        economic standpoint, would not exercise this option. At the time a shareholder
        is required to give notice of redemption, the shareholder will not be able
        to
        know at what price the shares would be redeemed and would not expect the
        present

        would
        be received by the shareholder in a public sale. Such redemption also requires

        March
        2005, the FASB issued Interpretation No. 47, Accounting for Conditional Asset
        Retirement Obligations (an interpretation of SFAS Statement No. 143) (FIN
        47).
        This Interpretation clarifies that the term conditional asset retirement
        obligation, as used in SFAS Statement No. 143, Accounting for Asset Retirement
        Obligations, refers to a legal obligation to perform an asset retirement
        activity in which the timing and (or) method of settlement are conditional
        on a
        future event that may or may not be within the control of the entity. The
        obligation to perform the asset retirement activity is unconditional even
        though
        uncertainty may exist about the timing and (or) method of settlement.
        Accordingly, an entity is required to recognize the fair value of a liability
        for the conditional asset retirement obligation when incurred and the
        uncertainty about the timing and (or) method of settlement should be factored
        into the measurement of the liability when sufficient information exists.
        This
        Interpretation is effective for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2005.
        The
        Company has evaluated the application of SFAS Interpretation No. 47 and
        determined it has no effect on the Company&#8217;s consolidated financial
        statements.</font></div>

        Company uses derivative financial instruments primarily to offset its exposure
        to financial risks related to the price of natural gas. Derivative instruments
        currently used by the Company consist of natural gas swap contracts. These
        contracts are recognized on the balance sheet at fair value. The swaps are
        considered as cash flow hedges since the cash flow exchanges under the swap
        are
        highly effective in mitigating exposure to natural gas price fluctuations.
        The
        fair value of the swaps are recorded as part of Comprehensive income in

                  shares of PAV Republic Inc. (Republic) through their subsidiary
                  SimRep
                  Corporation, a U.S. company. Such transaction was valued at USD
                  245
                  million where USD 229 million corresponds to the purchase price
                  and USD 16
                  million, to the direct cost of the business combination. The Company
                  contributed USD 123 million to acquire 50.2% of the representative
                  shares
                  of SimRep Corporation and Industrias CH, the holding company, acquired
                  the
                  remaining 49.8%. SimRep then acquired all the shares from Republic
                  through
                  a stock purchase agreement. Under the terms of the stock purchase
                  agreement, the Company acquired the right to a portion of the
                  reimbursement from an unresolved insurance claim. On April 24,
                  2006 a
                  Settlement Agreement and Release was reached and approximately
                  Ps. 407
                  million, net of payment to Predecessor&#8217;s shareholders of Ps. 211 and
                  professional fees has been received by the Company. Due to the
                  receipt,
                  the Company changed the final purchase accounting adjustment to
                  reflect
                  the fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed.
                  Republic
                  has six production plants: five in the United States and one in
                  Canada.
                  The Company and Industrias CH acquired Republic to increase their
                  presence
                  in the US market.</font></div>

                  discussed in note 6 to the financial statements, at the end of
                  2003, the
                  Company engaged in derivative financial instruments with PEMEX
                  Gas y
                  Petroqu&#237;mica B&#225;sica, for hedging purposes to cover natural gas price
                  fluctuations. The coverage will guarantee a portion of the Company&#8217;s
                  natural gas consumption from 2004 to 2006 at a fixed price of USD
                  4.462
                  per MMBtu. The Company also held in one of its subsidiaries in
                  the USA
                  some contracts for natural gas swaps, entered to offset the potential
                  natural gas price volatility. These swaps resulted in the marking
                  to
                  market of all the open contracts as of June 30, 2006 and recording
                  a
                  liability for USD 1.1 million.</font></div>

        Steel&#8217;s excavating to recover scrap metal on its property and on a neighbor&#8217;s
        property which it rents from a third party. In this same month, the department
        issued an enforcement order of imminent and substantial endangerment

        metal
        recovery operations may cause an imminent and substantial danger to human
        health
        and the environment. Consequently, the department sanctioned Pacific Steel
        for
        violating hazardous waste laws and the State of California Security Code
        and
        imposed the obligation to make necessary changes to the location. In July
        2004,
        in an effort to continue with this order, the department filed a Complaint
        for
        Civil Penalties and Injunctive Relief in San Diego Superior Court. On July
        26,
        2004, the court issued a judgment, whereby Pacific Steel is obligated to

        has
        informed the CDC that the land will not be voluntarily sold unless there
        is an
        alternate property where it could relocate its business. The CDC, in accordance
        with the State of California law, has the power to expropriate in exchange
        for
        payment at market value and, in the event that there is no other land available
        to relocate the business, it would also have to pay Pacific Steel the land&#8217;s
        book value. The CDC made an offer to purchase the land from Pacific Steel
        for
        USD 6.9 million, based on a business appraisal. The expropriation process
        was
        temporarily suspended through an agreement entered into by both parties in
        April
        2006. This agreement allows Pacific Steel to explore the possibility of
        finishing the remediation process of the land and to propose an attractive
        alternative to CDC which would allow the Company to remain in the
        area.</font></div>

        extinguishment of debt amounting to USD 110,257,012. Under Mexican GAAP,
        the
        increase in stockholders&#8217; equity resulting from the conversion or extinguishment
        of debt is equal to the carrying amount of the extinguished debt. The Company
        assigned a value of USD 110,257,012 to the Series &#8220;B&#8221; capital stock and,
        therefore, no difference existed between the equity interest granted and
        the
        carrying amount of the debt extinguished. Under U.S. GAAP, the difference
        between the fair value of equity interest granted and the carrying amount
        of
        extinguished debt is recognized as a gain or loss on extinguishment of debt
        in
        the statement of operations. For U.S. GAAP purposes, the fair value of the
        Series &#8220;B&#8221; capital stock was determined by reference to the quoted market price
        on March 29, 2001, the date the transaction was effected, and the difference
        between the fair value of the Series &#8220;B&#8221; capital stock and the carrying amount

        deferred income taxes on property plant and equipment, of Ps. 1,360,718 and

        1,443,554 result from differences between the financial reporting and tax
        bases
        of property, plant and equipment at December 31, 2005 and 2006, respectively.
        Beginning in 1997 the restatement of property, plant and equipment and the
        effects thereof on the statement of operations are determined by using factors
        derived from the NCPI or, in the case of imported machinery and equipment,
        by
        applying devaluation and inflation factors of the country of origin. Until
        1996,
        for financial reporting purposes, property, plant and equipment were stated
        at
        net replacement cost based upon annual independent appraisals and depreciation
        was provided by using the straight-line method over the estimated remaining
        useful lives of the assets. For income tax reporting purposes, property,
        plant,
        and equipment and depreciation are computed by a method which considers the
        NCPI.</font></div>

        March
        2005, the FASB issued Interpretation No. 47, Accounting for Conditional Asset
        Retirement Obligations (an interpretation of SFAS Statement No. 143) (FIN
        47).
        This Interpretation clarifies that the term conditional asset retirement
        obligation, as used in SFAS Statement No. 143, Accounting for Asset Retirement
        Obligations, refers to a legal obligation to perform an asset retirement
        activity in which the timing and (or) method of settlement are conditional
        on a
        future event that may or may not be within the control of the entity. The
        obligation to perform the asset retirement activity is unconditional even
        though
        uncertainty may exist about the timing and (or) method of settlement.
        Accordingly, an entity is required to recognize the fair value of a liability
        for the conditional asset retirement obligation when incurred and the
        uncertainty about the timing and (or) method of settlement should be factored
        into the measurement of the liability when sufficient information exists.
        This
        Interpretation is effective for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2005.
        The
        Company has evaluated the application of SFAS Interpretation No. 47 and
        determined it has no effect on the Company&#8217;s consolidated financial

        clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an
        enterprise&#8217;s financial statements in accordance with FASB Statement No. 109,
        Accounting for Income Taxes. This Interpretation prescribes a recognition

        measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return.

        graded vesting period, provided that the participant remains a director or
        employee at such a time. The stock options expire 10 years from the date
        of
        grant. We measure the total cost of each stock option grant at the date of
        grant
        using the Black Scholes option pricing model. We recognize the cost of each
        stock option using straight-line over the stock options vesting period. The
        stock option based compensation expense, included in selling general and
        administration expense, was $5.9 million for the year ended December 31,
        2004.
        The following table summarizes the stock option activity for the year ended
        December 31, 2004. </font></div>

        June
        2001, the FASB issued SFAS No. 143, Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations,
        which requires recognition of the fair value of liabilities associated with
        the
        retirement of long-lived assets when a legal obligation to incur such costs
        arises as a result of the acquisition, construction, development and/or the
        normal operation of a long-lived asset. Upon recognition of the liability,
        a
        corresponding asset is recorded and depreciated over the remaining life of
        the
        long-lived asset. SFAS No. 143 defines a legal obligation as one that a party
        is
        required to settle as a result of an existing or enacted law, statute,
        ordinance, or written or oral contract or by legal construction of a contract
        under the doctrine of promissory estoppel. SFAS No. 143 is effective for
        fiscal
        years beginning after December 15, 2002. The adoption of SFAS No. 143 did
        not
        have any impact on the Company&#8217;s consolidated financial statements.

        July
        2002, the FASB issued SFAS No. 146, Accounting for Costs Associated with
        Exit or
        Disposal Activities. SFAS No. 146 addresses significant issues regarding
        the
        recognition, measurement and reporting of costs that are associated with
        exit
        and disposal activities, including restructuring activities. The scope of
        SFAS
        No. 146 includes (1) costs to terminate contracts that are not capital leases;
        (2) costs to consolidate facilities or relocate employees; and (3) termination
        benefits provided to employees who are involuntarily terminated under the
        terms
        of a one-time benefit arrangement that is not an ongoing benefit arrangement
        or
        an individual deferred-compensation contract. The provisions of this Statement
        became effective for exit or disposal activities initiated after December
        31,
        2002, with early application encouraged. The adoption of SFAS No. 146 did

        SFAS No. 148 provides alternative methods of transition from a voluntary
        change
        to the fair value based method of accounting for stock-based employee
        compensation. In addition, this Statement amends the disclosure requirements
        of
        Statement 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. The adoption

        19, 2003 to December 31, 2003. All of the Company&#8217;s inventories were valued at
        market prices under purchase price accounting at the time of acquisition.
        The
        Company&#8217;s inventory carrying values and product mix at December 31, 2003 was
        approximately the same as December 19, 2003, indicating only negligible price
        fluctuations during that period. The adoption of LIFO as of January 1, 2004
        resulted in the reduction of pre-tax income by $52.6 million for the year

        30 and December 31 of each year. The note purchase agreement in respect to

        bank notes requires Republic Inc. to redeem the notes with certain proceeds
        from
        asset sales of any collateral that secures the notes. The note purchase

        separate provisions imposing restrictions on additional borrowings, certain
        investments, certain payments, sale or disposal of assets, payment of dividends
        and change of control provisions, in each case subject to certain exceptions.
        As
        of December 31, 2004, Republic Inc. was in compliance with all of these
        covenants. The bank notes are secured, subject to exceptions and limitations,
        by
        (1) a first priority lien on, and security interest in real estate and fixtures
        related to the Canton C-RTM facility and (2) fifty percent of any proceeds

        shall
        in no event exceed $10.0 million in the aggregate. During the year ended
        December 31, 2004 Republic Inc. received $34.2 million in insurance proceeds.
        As
        of October, 2004 Republic Inc. had fulfilled this repayment requirement.
        Republic Inc. was required, on December 31, 2003 and on the last day of each
        calendar quarter until maturity or until a maximum amount of $1.0 million
        in the
        aggregate is paid, to prepay 0.25% of the original principal amount or such
        lesser principal amount as shall then be outstanding. This requirement was
        discharged for all future periods during June 2004 as a result of the payment

        2003,
        REPH LLC&#8217;s operations were negatively impacted by the loss of one of two blast
        furnaces located in Lorain, Ohio. As a result, REPH LLC has filed business
        interruption and property damage insurance claims. The Company acquired the
        right to reimbursement from insurance claims for damage incurred to the #3
        blast
        furnace under the terms of the asset purchase agreement. During the year
        ended
        December 31, 2004, the Company received $34.2 million of insurance proceeds.
        The
        Company recorded the receipt of the insurance proceeds and reduced non current
        assets by $16.4 million, and the remainder resulted in the recognition of
        $10.2
        million in extraordinary gain, net of tax of $6.5 million. Reimbursements
        from
        the business interruption insurance claims up to $25.0 million were subject
        to
        the security interest maintained by Republic Inc.&#8217;s bank note holders as
        discussed in note 8. The Company, as of October, 2004, paid $10.0 million
        to
        satisfy in full this security interest. The Company will continue to seek
        reimbursement on the full amount of the business interruption and property
        damage insurance claims. </font></div>

        The

        appropriate percentage based on age and years of service. The contribution
        becomes 100% vested upon completion of 5 years of service. In addition,
        employees are permitted to make contributions into a 401(k) retirement plan
        through payroll deferrals. The Company provides a 25% matching contribution

        is the
        case with most steel producers, the Company could incur significant costs
        related to environmental issues in the future, including those arising from
        environmental compliance activities and remediation stemming from historical
        waste management practices at the Company&#8217;s facilities acquired in December 2003
        from REPH LLC. The reserve to cover environmental remediation liabilities
        that
        the Company considers probable and reasonably estimable, based on current
        information and existing laws and regulations, was $4.9 million as of December
        31, 2004. The reserve includes estimated costs associated with (i) the current
        investigation and cleanup underway at our Canton plant pursuant to an
        administrative order on consent with EPA, issued pursuant to the federal
        agency&#8217;s corrective action authority under the Resource Conservation and
        Recovery Act (RCRA); (ii) the potential for similar investigation/cleanup
        obligations associated with historic operations and on-site waste management
        practices at our Lorain, Lackawanna and Massillon plants; and (iii) several
        smaller environmental remediation items, each less than $100,000. The Company
        is
        not otherwise aware at this time of any material environmental remediation
        liabilities or contingent liabilities relating to environmental matters with
        respect to our facilities for which the establishment of an additional reserve
        would be appropriate at this time. To the extent the Company incurs any such
        additional future costs, these costs will most likely be incurred over a
        number
        of years. However, future regulatory action regarding historical waste
        management practices at the Company&#8217;s facilities and future changes in
        applicable laws and regulations may require the Company to incur significant
        costs that may have a material adverse effect on the Company&#8217;s future financial

        manage the risks associated with fluctuations in market prices, we periodically
        use hedging instruments including options on natural gas. We purchase options
        for a portion of our natural gas requirements. These options are designed
        to cap
        our exposure to extreme price volatility thereby limiting the unfavorable
        effect
        of price increases on our operating costs. Changes to the fair value of the
        premiums paid for these option contracts are recorded as a change in the
        value
        of prepaid assets and as an increase or offset to cost of goods sold.

        assumed a defined retiree health care plan covering approximately 14 union
        hourly employees. These benefits are provided under the terms of the collective
        bargaining agreement with the Bricklayers &amp; Allied Craftsman International
        Union and are based upon years of service and age. Health care benefits that
        are
        provided include comprehensive hospital, surgical, major medical and drug
        benefit provisions. Participation in the plan requires the retiree to contribute
        50% of the cost of the benefit plan. Currently there are no plan assets and
        the
        Company funds the benefits as claims are paid. </font></div>

        March
        15, 2005, the Company amended its 2004 Equity Incentive Plan in order to
        bring
        it into compliance with new Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code. In
        addition, outstanding stock options issued to certain executives were also
        amended in response to new Section 409A of the Code. As amended, the stock
        options are exercisable only on the earliest of (i) a fixed date or pursuant
        to
        a fixed schedule, (ii) death, (iii) disability, or (iv) in certain
        circumstances, the executive&#8217;s separation from employment with the Company
        and/or its subsidiaries. The repurchase provisions with respect to shares
        received on the exercise of the outstanding options were also modified so
        that
        after this offering (i) the Company will have no contractual right to repurchase
        shares held by Mr. Lapinsky upon termination of his employment with the Company
        and (ii) the Company&#8217;s right to repurchase shares held by the other executives

        an
        additional grant exercisable for a number of shares of the Company equal
        to five
        percent of the shares of the Company executive would have received upon exercise

        semi-finished seamless tube rounds and other semi-finished trade products.
        On
        December 19, 2003, Republic Engineered Products, Inc., our wholly-owned
        subsidiary, acquired substantially all of the operating assets and assumed
        certain liabilities of REPH LLC. Upon completion of the acquisition the company
        implemented a strategy to manage our product mix by focusing on higher
        value-added bar product with more engineering content and metallurgical
        specificity, which command premium margins. Our product lines are marketed
        to a
        common customer base. Our customers include automotive and industrial equipment
        manufacturers, first tier suppliers to automotive, forgers and tubular and
        pipe
        product manufacturers. We differentiated the Company from its predecessor
        by
        exiting the lower commodity business. The transition to a single segment
        culminated in the fourth quarter of 2004. </font></div>

        manufacturing process for all our engineered products begins with steel being
        melted in either Canton or Lorain, Ohio. The molten steel is then poured
        into
        either a four, five or six-strand continuous caster through which the steel
        flows and cools. The cooled blooms or billets solidify, then are cut to length
        before further processing. The casters produce round blooms and billets that
        are
        feedstock for hot-rolled seamless tube products or rectangular blooms or
        square
        billets that are transported to one of three bar rolling mills. </font></div>

        the

        then rolling the products through a series of continuous roll stands. The
        steel
        is reduced in cross-section and elongates through this process. The completed
        hot-rolled products are either coiled or are placed on a cooling bed and
        then
        cut into required lengths. The items are then stacked into coils or bundles
        and
        placed in warehouses from which they are shipped directly to the customer
        or to
        one of our cold finishing mills for further processing. </font></div>

        Hot
        rolling changes the internal physical properties, size, and shape of the
        steel.
        As a direct cast billet or bloom is reduced in size, the strength and integrity
        of the resulting bar or rod product is increased. Since blooms have larger
        cross-sectional area than billets, a greater reduction to finished size occurs.
        Accordingly, a bar or rod product rolled from a cast bloom is generally stronger
        than a direct cast billet product of the same size and metallurgical content.
        Typically customers concerned about product quality and strength as related
        to
        reduction of area require bloom based hot-rolled bar products. Direct cast
        billet products are generally used for smaller bar product sizes and for
        less
        demanding end-use applications. </font></div>

        Cold
        finishing improves the physical properties of hot-rolled products through
        value-added processes. Cold finishing processes generate products with more
        precise size and straightness tolerances as well as a surface finish that
        provides customers with a more efficient means of producing a number of end
        products by often eliminating the first processing step in the customer&#8217;s
        process. </font></div>

        poured into a four, five or six-strand continuous caster through which the
        steel
        flows and cools. The cooled blooms or billets solidify, and then are cut
        to
        length before further processing. The casters produce round blooms and billets
        that are feedstock for hot-rolled seamless tube products or rectangular blooms
        or square billets that are transported to one of three bar rolling
        mills.</font></div>

        the

        is reduced in cross-section and elongates through this process. The completed
        hot-rolled products are either coiled or are placed on a cooling bed and
        then
        cut into required lengths. The bars are bundled and banded, then placed in
        warehouses from which they are shipped directly to the customer or to one

        Hot-rolling changes the internal physical properties, size, and shape of
        the
        steel. As a direct cast billet or bloom is reduced in size, the strength
        and
        integrity of the resulting bar or rod product is increased. Since blooms
        have
        larger cross-sectional area than billets, a greater reduction to finished
        size
        occurs. Accordingly, a bar or rod product rolled from a cast bloom is generally
        stronger than a direct cast billet product of the same size</font></div>

        Cold-finishing improves the physical properties of hot-rolled products through
        value-added processes. Cold-finishing processes generate products with more
        precise size and straightness tolerances as well as a surface finish that
        provides customers with a more efficient means of producing a number of end
        products by often eliminating the first processing step in the customer&#8217;s
        process.</font></div>

        probable environmental liabilities as well as anticipated compliance activities
        totaling $4.6&#160;million was recorded as of July 22, 2005. The current and
        noncurrent portions of the environmental reserve are included in other accrued
        liabilities and accrued environmental liabilities, respectively in the

        either as liabilities or assets and records the changes in fair value within
        other comprehensive loss as a component of stockholders&#8217; equity. When the
        transaction is settled, the realized gain or loss is recognized in the results
        of operations as a cost of goods sold. During the period ended July 22, 2005,
        all contracts were treated as undesignated hedges and therefore the fair
        value

        April
        24, 2006, a Settlement Agreement and Release was reached for approximately
        $58.0
        million. Approximately $38.4 million, net of the $19.8 million payment to

        GE
        credit facility (see note 6) was amended, effective during July 2005, to
        obtain
        the lenders consent for the acquisition of PAV by SimRep and for certain
        other
        related changes. Effective November 1, 2005, the GE credit facility was amended
        to reduce the borrowing capacity from $250.0 million to $150.0 million to
        eliminate unnecessary liquidity and to provide for certain other changes.
        Also
        as part of the November 1, 2005 amendment and through the end of 2005, the
        base
        rate margins were fixed at 0.00% for Index Margins and 1.00% on LIBOR margins.
        Commencing on January 1, 2006, the applicable margins were adjusted from
        0.00%
        to 0.25% for index rate loans and from 0.875% to 1.25% for LIBOR loans based
        on
        the average daily availability in the prior quarter. The new agreement also
        varied the margins on the unused facility fee from 0.50% to 0.375%. Based
        on the
        fourth quarter 2005 average daily availability, the initial margins for 2006
        are
        0.00% for the index margin, 0.875% for the LIBOR margin, 0.500% for the unused
        facility fee margin, and 0.875% for the applicable letter of credit margin.
        The
        capital expenditures limit was increased to $100.0 million with the amendment
        dated November 1, 2005.</font></div>

        July
        22, 2005, the Company and Industrias CH acquired the outstanding shares of
        PAV
        Republic Inc. (Republic) through the Company&#8217;s subsidiary SimRep Corporation, a
        U.S. company. Such transaction was valued at USD 245 million where USD 229
        million corresponds to the purchase price and USD 16 million, to the direct
        cost
        of the business combination. The Company contributed USD 123 million to acquire
        50.2% of the representative shares of SimRep Corporation and Industrias CH,
        the
        holding company, acquired the remaining 49.8%. SimRep then acquired all the
        shares from Republic through a stock purchase agreement. Under the terms
        of the
        stock purchase agreement, the Company acquired the right to a portion of
        the
        reimbursement from an unresolved insurance claim. On April 24, 2006 a Settlement
        Agreement and Release was reached and approximately Ps. 407 million, net
        of
        payment to Predecessor&#8217;s shareholders of Ps. 211 and professional fees, has been
        received by the Company. Due to the reimbursement, the Company changed the
        final
        purchase accounting adjustment to reflect the fair value of the assets acquired
        and liabilities assumed.</font></div>

          increase in the expenses is driven by two components; the first one is
          the
          decrease of the stock compensation expense of $60,053 that was recorded
          during
          the period January 1, 2005 through July 22, 2005 and $53,512 during the
          period
          January 1, 2005 through June 30, 2005.&#160;The company terminated the stock
          compensation plan at the time of the purchase and provided no additional
          compensation to employees to replace this lost benefit. The Company made
          the
          assumption that the stock compensation recognized during the period January
          1,
          2005 - July 22, 2005 would not be recorded if the purchase would have taken
          place on January 1, 2005. The second component is an increase in depreciation
          and amortization expense of $86,415 and $77,003 for the periods January
          1, 2005
          through July 22, 2005 and January 1, 2005 through June 30, 2006 respectively,
          due to the purchase price allocation to intangibles related to Republic&#8217;s Union
          Agreement, Kobe Tech, Customer Relationships and Republic trade name being
          recorded at the time of purchase, the Company made the assumption that
          Republic
          would have booked this entry as of January 1, 2005 and the Company recorded
          an
          additional seven months of amortization expense.&#160; Also, the depreciation
          expense was adjusted as if the allocation of the purchase price would have
          taken
          place on January 1, 2005.&#160; The value of the plant, property and equipment
          increased and depreciation expense increased accordingly.</font></div>

      Each
      Party acknowledges and agrees that the other Parties would be damaged
      irreparably in the event any provision of this Agreement is not performed in
      accordance with its specific terms or otherwise is breached, so that a Party
      shall be entitled to injunctive relief to prevent breaches of this Agreement
      and
      to enforce specifically this Agreement and the terms and provisions hereof
      in
      addition to any other remedy to which such Party may be entitled, at law or

      equity. In particular, the Parties acknowledge that the business of Company
      and
      its Subsidiaries is unique and recognize and affirm that in the event Sellers
      breach this Agreement, money damages would be inadequate and Purchaser would
      have no adequate remedy at law, so that Purchaser shall have the right, in

      its
      rights and the other Parties&#8217; obligations hereunder not only by action for
      damages but also by action for specific performance, injunctive, and/or other
