      business is subject to certain risks that could impact our competitive position
      and strengths, as well as our ability to execute our business strategy. Many
      of
      these risks are beyond our control, such as factors affecting the global demand
      for steel products, our exposure to the fluctuations in the cost of raw
      materials, our dependence on a limited number of key suppliers of raw materials
      and the cyclical nature of the industries and markets that we serve.
      Furthermore, these risks include those generally associated with being a
      producer of steel products in Mexico, the United States and Canada, including
      foreign exchange exposure and political risk. Intense competition from other
      steel producers could reduce our market share in the countries where we operate,
      and the capital intensive nature of the steel industry. Our dependence on the
      availability of capital resources to continue to modernize and upgrade our
      facilities and to expand our operations could affect the implementation of
      our
      strategy. For additional risks relating to our business and this offering,
      see

      currency exchange rates, and inflation rates, which have little or no bearing
      on
      our operating performance, (iii) other income (expense) that are not constant

      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

      Because increases in the prices we are able to charge for our finished steel

      published by or about U.S.&#160;issuers of listed securities. In addition, we
      prepare our financial statements in accordance with Mexican GAAP, which differs
      from U.S.&#160;GAAP in a number of respects. For example, under Mexican GAAP we
      must incorporate the effects of inflation directly in our accounting records
      and
      published financial statements. While we are required to reconcile our net
      income and stockholders&#8217; equity to those amounts that would be derived under
      U.S.&#160;GAAP, the effects of inflation accounting under Mexican GAAP are not
      eliminated in such reconciliation. For this and other reasons, the presentation
      of Mexican financial statements and reported earnings may differ from that
      of
      U.S.&#160;companies in this and other important respects. Please see Note 19 to

      shares with our secretary or with a Mexican custodian or provide evidence of
      their status as shareholders in order to attend shareholders&#8217; meetings. ADS
      holders will not be able to meet this requirement and accordingly are not

      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

      the solvency of the issuer, or the accuracy or completeness of any information
      delivered to the National Banking and Securities Commission. The general

      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

      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

      U.S. GAAP as they relate to our business, along with a reconciliation to U.S.
      GAAP of net income and stockholders&#8217; equity, a statement of changes in
      stockholders&#8217; equity and, for the unaudited condensed consolidated interim
      financial statements, a statement of cash flows under U.S. GAAP.</font></div>

      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
      consolidated financial statements and all other financial information contained
      herein with respect to the years ended December 31, 2001, 2002, 2003, 2004
      and
      2005 are accordingly presented in constant pesos with purchasing power as of
      June 30, 2006, unless otherwise noted. Our unaudited interim financial
      statements for the six-month period ended June 30, 2006, which include
      comparative unaudited financial information for the six-month period ended
      June
      30, 2005, and all other financial information presented herein, with respect
      to
      the six-month periods ended June 30, 2006 and 2005 are presented in constant
      pesos with purchasing power as of June 30, 2006. Our results of operations
      for
      the six-month period ended June 30, 2006 are not necessarily indicative of
      our
      expected results of operations for the year ended December 31, 2006 and should
      not be construed as such.</font></div>

      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

      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

      prices are generally set by reference to world steel prices, which are
      determined by global supply and demand trends. As a result of general excess
      capacity in the industry, the world steel industry was previously subject to
      substantial downward pricing pressure, which negatively impacted the results
      of
      steel companies in the second half of 2000 and all of 2001. International steel
      prices generally improved beginning in 2003, driven by a strong increase in
      global demand fostered by economic growth in Asia and an economic recovery
      in
      the United States, combined with increased rationalization of production
      capacity in the United States and elsewhere.</font></div>

      this new period of high prices for steel encouraged reactivation of investment
      in production capacity, and, consequently, an increase in the supply of steel
      products that contributed to a decline in steel prices. Average steel prices
      in
      2005 were below those of 2004, but remained substantially higher than steel
      prices for the 2001 to 2003 period. In 2006, steel prices have increased to
      levels above those of 2005 due to strong end-market demand fundamentals for
      a
      number of key steel-consuming industries, continued strong steel demand in
      China, India and other developing economies, relatively high raw material and
      energy costs and reductions in U.S. production from some of the industry&#8217;s
      largest producers.</font></div>

      recent
      years, there has been a trend toward consolidation of the steel industry. For
      example, Aceralia, Arbed and Usinor merged in February 2002 to create Arcelor,
      and LNM Holdings and Ispat International merged in October 2004 to create Mittal
      Steel, which subsequently acquired International Steel Group. In 2006, Arcelor
      completed the acquisition of Dofasco in Canada, and Mittal Steel announced
      the
      acquisition of Arcelor, forming the largest steel company in the world. In
      addition, a number of other steel acquisition transactions have been announced,
      including the pending acquisition of Oregon Steel by Evraz and the pending
      acquisition of Corus by either Tata Steel or CSN. Consolidation has enabled
      steel companies to lower their production costs and allowed for more stringent
      supply-side discipline, including through selective capacity closures or idling,
      as the ones observed recently in the United States by Mittal Steel, U.S. Steel
      and others. Consolidation may result in increased competition and could
      adversely affect our results.</font></div>

      sales of the products that we produce in our Republic facilities. The higher
      cost of sales of the Republic facilities is mainly a result of higher labor
      costs prevailing in our U.S. operations, and the higher cost of raw materials,
      which our U.S. operations use in the production of SBQ steel. Hourly wages

      average hourly wages in our U.S. operations of an average of more than $30
      per

      our U.S. operations produce only the more costly SBQ steel, which requires
      more
      expensive raw materials such as chromium, nickel, molybdenum and other alloys.
      Our Mexican operations require these alloys to a lesser extent, because they
      produce commodity steel as well as SBQ steel. The average cost of raw materials

      decreased 2% in real terms in the six months ended June 30, 2006 compared to

      of our competitiors, Siderurgica Lazaro Cardenas Las Truchas, S.A. (&#8220;SICARTSA&#8221;),
      the principal producer of rebar in Mexico, stopped production because its
      employees went on strike until mid-August 2006. The strike generated a shortage
      in the supply of rebar and light section structurals, which generated a price
      increase in those products compared to international prices because of an

      product that we produce in the United States. We attribute our higher direct

      and somewhat higher production levels. The average cost of raw materials that
      we
      used to produce steel products (excluding the production of Republic) increased
      1% in real terms in 2005 compared to 2004, primarily as a result of increases

      prevailing in our U.S. operations and higher cost of raw material involved
      in

      significant global rise of finished product prices. Because of low steel
      inventories in 2004, we were able to pass on to customers, through surcharges,
      more than the cost increases in scrap and certain other raw materials.
      Therefore, our marginal profit as a percentage of net sales increased to 42%

      heavily on cash generated from operations as our principal source of liquidity.
      Other sources of liquidity have included financing made available to us by
      our
      parent Industrias CH (primarily in the form of equity, or debt substantially
      all
      of which was subsequently converted to equity), most significantly for the
      purpose of repaying third party indebtedness, and limited amounts of vendor
      financing. We have had very limited access to and have not borrowed any material
      amounts from unaffiliated third parties since consummation of the restructuring.
      We believe that our existing cash, cash equivalents and cash generated from
      operations will be sufficient to satisfy our currently anticipated cash
      requirements through the next 12 months, including our currently anticipated
      capital expenditures.</font></div>

      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.

      GE Facility contains covenants including restrictions on engaging in various

      measure our market risk related to our financial instruments based on changes
      in
      interest rates and foreign currency rates utilizing a sensitivity analysis.
      The
      sensitivity analysis measures the potential loss in fair values, cash flows
      and
      earnings based on a hypothetical increase in interest rates and a decline in
      the
      peso/dollar exchange rate. We used market rates as of December 31, 2005 on
      our
      financial instruments to perform the sensitivity analysis. We believe that
      these
      potential changes in market rates are reasonably possible in the near-term
      (one
      year or less). Based upon our analysis of the impact of a 100 basis point
      increase in interest rates and a 10% decline in the peso/dollar exchange rate,
      we have determined that such increase in interest rates and such decline in
      the
      peso/dollar exchange rate would have a material adverse effect on our earnings.
      Because there is no active trading market for our debt instruments, we are
      not
      able to determine the impact of these changes on the fair value of those debt
      instruments. The sections below describe our exposure to interest rates and
      currency rates including the impact of changes in these rates on our
      earnings.</font></div>

      utilize a combination of floating rate debt and fixed rate debt. The floating
      rate debt is exposed to changes in interest expense and cash flows from changes
      in LIBOR, while the fixed rate debt is mostly exposed to changes in fair value
      from changes in medium term interest rates. Based on an immediate 100 basis
      point rise in interest rates, we estimate that our earnings before taxes over

      believes that the critical accounting policy which requires the most significant
      judgments and estimates used in the preparation of the financial statements
      relates to the impairment of property, plant and equipment and valuation
      allowance on accounts receivable. We evaluate periodically the adjusted values
      of our property, plant and equipment, to determine whether there is an
      indication of potential impairment. Impairment exists when the carrying amount
      of an asset exceeds future revenues or net cash flow expected to be generated
      by
      the asset. If such assets are considered to be impaired, the impairment to
      be
      recognized is measured by the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset
      exceeds the expected revenues or fair value. Assets to be disposed of are
      reported at the lower of the carrying amount or realizable value. Significant
      judgment is involved in estimating future revenues and cash flows or realizable
      value, as applicable, of our property, plant and equipment due to the
      characteristics of those assets. The class of our assets which most require
      complex determinations based upon assumptions and estimates relates to idle
      machinery.</font></div>

      value
      of the non-recoverable assets is adjusted and charged to the income statement

      requires substantial judgment by management. As a result, final losses from

      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 2.3 million
      tons
      of crude steel production capacity. In addition, we have 2.8 million tons of

      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

      ore,
      coke, scrap and electricity) to the facility where production costs would be
      the

      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

      furnace with preheating burners, passed through a rolling mill for size
      reduction and conformed into final sections and sizes. The shapes are then

      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>

      Excess 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. </font></div>

      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>

      volume, with SBQ products representing approximately 26% of such sales and
      the

      Non-U.S. competition may impact segments of the SBQ market, particularly where

      to our ability to compete in our markets. We believe that we have the widest
      selection of product grades and sizes in our industry and in many cases provide
      &#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
      manufacturer to respond quickly to customer orders currently is, and is expected
      to remain, important as customers continue to reduce their in-plant raw material

      Ferrous
      scrap is among the most important components for our steel production and
      accounted for approximately 36% of our consolidated direct cost of sales in
      2005
      (56% of the direct cost in our Mexico operations and 17.5% of the direct cost
      in
      our U.S. operations) and 59% of our direct cost of sales in 2004, and
      represented 32% of our consolidated direct costs in sales for the six months
      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>

      purchase raw scrap from dealers in Mexico and the San Diego area, and processes
      the raw scrap into refined ferrous scrap at our Guadalajara, Mexicali and
      Apizaco facilities. We meet our refined ferrous scrap requirements through
      three
      sources: (i) our wholly owned scrap processing facilities, which in the
      aggregate provided us with approximately 5% and 6% of our refined scrap tonnage
      in 2005 and 2004, respectively, and (ii) purchases from third party scrap
      processors in Mexico and the southwestern United States, which, in the
      aggregate, provided us with approximately 84% and 11% in 2005, respectively,
      and
      approximately 64% and 30% in 2004, respectively, of our refined ferrous scrap
      requirements. We are a dominant scrap collector in the Mexicali, Tijuana and
      Hermosillo regions, and, by primarily dealing directly with small Mexican scrap
      collectors, we believe we have been able to purchase scrap at prices lower
      than
      those in the international and Mexican markets. We purchase scrap on the open
      market through a number of brokers or directly from scrap dealers for our U.S.
      and Canadian facilities. We do not depend on any single scrap supplier to meet
      our scrap requirements.</font></div>

      by American Electric Power Company and Ohio Edison. We, like all other high
      volume users of electricity in Mexico, pay special rates to CFE for electricity.
      Energy prices in Mexico have historically been very volatile and subject to
      dramatic price increases in short periods of time. In the late 1990s, the CFE
      began to charge for electricity usage based on the time of use during the day
      and the season (summer or winter). As a result, we have modified our production
      schedule in order to reduce electricity costs by limiting production during
      periods when peak rates are in effect. There can be no assurance that any future
      cost increases will not have a material adverse effect on our business. From
      May
      through October 2005 and August through October 2004, the Mexicali facility
      acquired electricity from Sempra Energy Solutions (&#8220;Sempra&#8221;), a company based in
      San Diego, California. The </font><font style="DISPLAY: inline; FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: Times New Roman"><em>Comisi&#243;n

      importing into Mexico, which is scheduled to be reduced progressively until
      reaching zero in 2007. This agreement also provides an opportunity to increase

      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
      of Toxic Substances Control issued an enforcement order of imminent and
      substantial endangerment determination, which alleges that certain soil piles,
      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
      of
      $45,000 and an environmental project of $58,750. At December 31, 2005, Pacific

      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 $6.9 million, based

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

      In

      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>

      of

      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
      otherwise. If the international underwriters and the Mexican underwriters
      commence any of these transactions, they may discontinue them at any

        not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the

        fairly,
        in all material respects, the financial position of Grupo Simec, S.A. de
        C.V.
        and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2004, and the results of their operations
        and the changes in their financial position for each of the years in the
        two-year period ended December 31, 2004, in conformity with accounting
        principles generally accepted in Mexico.</font></div>

        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

        historical consumption, future requirements and commitments acquired, thus
        diminishing its exposure to risks other than its normal operating
        risks.</font></div>

        mitigate the risks associated with changes in natural gas prices occurring
        naturally as a result of the supply and demand on international markets,
        the
        Company uses natural gas cash-flow exchange contracts or natural gas swaps
        to
        offset fluctuations in the price of natural gas, whereby the Company receives
        a
        floating price and pays a fixed price. Fluctuations in natural gas prices
        from
        volumes consumed are recognized as part of the Company&#8217;s operating
        costs.</font></div>

        contract costs are booked to cost of goods sold in the month of

        for the early adoption of Mexican accounting Bulletin C-10, </font><font style="DISPLAY: inline; FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: Times New Roman"><em>Accounting

        consequently, at December 31, 2005, 2004 and 2003, these contracts were
        recognized on the balance sheet at fair value, either as liabilities or assets.
        The Company periodically evaluates the changes in the cash flows of the
        derivative instruments to analyze if the swaps are highly effective for
        mitigating the exposure to natural gas price fluctuations. In 2005, 2004
        and
        2003 the derivatives qualified as a derivative financial hedging instrument
        of
        the cash flow type and thus the fair value and subsequent changes of the
        swaps
        are recorded under stockholders&#8217; equity as Comprehensive income net of the
        deferred tax effect.</font></div>

        considered as cash flow hedges since the cash flow exchanges under the swap
        are
        highly effective in mitigating exposure to natural gas price fluctuations.

        based on the age and length of service of its personnel at January of each
        year.

        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

                  July 22, 2005, the Company and Industrias CH acquired the outstanding
                  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. 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

        Pacific Steel, Inc. (Pacific Steel), a subsidiary of Simec based in National
        City in San Diego County, California, received a notice from the California
        Regional Water Control Board, San Diego Region (the &#8220;Regional Board&#8221;), which
        prohibited Pacific Steel from draining into the street waters from spraying
        borax (waste resulting from the process of the scrap yard). This and other
        subsequent requirements obligated Pacific Steel to (i) stop operations in
        the
        scrap yard, (ii) send an enclosure of the borax which was stored in its yards
        and (iii) take samples of the soil where the borax was found. The result
        of this

        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

        operation of Mexican law, stockholders holding shares representing variable
        capital common stock may require the Company, with a notice of at least three
        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
        of trading prices during the 30 trading days preceding the end of the fiscal
        year in which the redemption is to become effective or (ii) the book value
        of
        the Company&#8217;s shares approved at the meeting of shareholders for the latest
        fiscal year prior to the redemption date. Although the variable capital common
        stock is potentially redeemable by the terms described above, such shares
        have

        management believes the variable capital common stock represents permanent
        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
        value of the future redemption payment to equal or exceed the amount which
        would
        be received by the shareholder in a public sale. Such redemption also requires
        approval at a shareholders&#8217; meeting.</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
        statements.</font></div>

        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

        applicable in Mexico and the United States respectively, mainly because in

                  July 22, 2005, the Company and Industrias CH acquired the outstanding
                  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>

        primarily determined based on independent appraisals and estimates made by
        management. The acquisition price resulted in negative goodwill which was
        allocated proportionally to all non-current assets. The consolidated financial
        position at date of the acquisition, restated for inflation at June 30, 2006,

                  October 11, 2004, the installation of a new five-position machine
                  which
                  produces strips and ingots and the installation of related equipment
                  were
                  approved in Republic's facilities located in Canton, Ohio. Republic
                  began
                  to prepare the installation of the new equipment in December 2004.
                  The
                  project was completed during June 2006 and the caster was put into
                  production. Project costs of $56.0 million were reclassified from
                  construction-in-progress to buildings and improvements and machinery
                  and
                  equipment upon completion. On June 30, 2006, it was decided to
                  temporarily
                  idle the caster based on sufficient alternative melt capacity.
                  The caster
                  will restart when commodity prices and business conditions warrant.

        Regional Water Control Board, San Diego Region (the &#8220;Regional Board&#8221;), which
        prohibited Pacific Steel from draining into the street waters from spraying
        borax (waste resulting from the process of the scrap yard). This and other
        subsequent requirements obligated Pacific Steel to (i) stop operations in
        the
        scrap yard, (ii) send an enclosure of the borax which was stored in its yards
        and (iii) take samples of the soil where the borax was found. The result
        of this
        study was that the residual metal contents represented no significant threat
        to
        the quality of water.</font></div>

        September 2002, the Department of Toxic Substances Control inspected Pacific
        Steel&#8217;s facilities based on an alleged complaint from neighbors due to Pacific
        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
        determination, which alleges that certain soil piles, 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 USD
        235,000 (payable in four payments of USD 58,750 over the course of one year)
        for
        fines of USD 131,250, the department's costs of USD 45,000 and an environmental
        project of USD 58,750. At December 31, 2005, Pacific Steel has made all of
        the

        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

        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.

        Beginning in 1997 the restatement of property, plant and equipment and the

        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

        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

        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>

        financial statement presentation. We believe that our audit provides a
        reasonable basis for our opinion.</font></div>

        June
        2001, the FASB issued SFAS No. 143, Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations,

        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

        inventory from FIFO to LIFO is minimal from the date of acquisition, December
        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
        ended
        December 31, 2004. </font></div>

        deferred loan fees, net of accumulated amortization and $1.0 million in fees
        related to our planned initial public offering. The deferred fees were incurred
        in relation to the new debt items discussed in note 8 and the planned initial
        public offering (IPO) discussed in note 20. The Company amortizes these assets
        associated with the debt agreements over their term, which will expire in
        May
        and August of 2009. The Company will net the fees associated with the IPO
        with
        the proceeds of the offering. </font></div>

        However, in May 2004, the Perry credit facility was repaid in full and Republic

        from
        asset sales of any collateral that secures the notes. The note purchase

        separate provisions imposing restrictions on additional borrowings, certain

        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

        (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

        that such security interests in business interruption insurance 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

        2004
        the Company entered into an agreement with the USWA to administer health
        insurance benefits to the Company&#8217;s USWA employees while on layoff status and to
        administer payment of monthly contributions to the Steelworker&#8217;s Pension Trust
        on behalf of local union officials while on union business. To fund this
        program
        the USWA provided a cash contribution of $3.0 million. As of December 31,
        2004,
        the balance of this cash account totaled $2.8 million. Expenditures from
        this
        account were used to provide health insurance to laid off USWA employees.
        The
        Company has agreed to continue to administer this program until the fund
        is
        exhausted. The Company will provide the USWA with periodic reports regarding
        the
        financial status of the fund. The cash account of $2.8 million is recorded
        as an
        other asset and the related liability is recorded as an other long-term
        liability. </font></div>

        for a portion of our natural gas requirements. These options are designed

        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

        connection with the acquisition of the operating assets of REPH LLC, the
        Company
        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>

        addition, outstanding stock options issued to certain executives were also

        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
        rolling mill, blooms and billets are converted to hot rolled bars by reheating,
        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>

        The capitalized interest is recorded as part of the asset to which it relates
        and is amortized over the asset&#8217;s estimated useful life. During the period
        January 1, 2005 to July 22, 2005, interest costs of $0.5 million were
        capitalized. When construction-in-progress projects are completed, they are

        indicate that the carrying amount of an asset, or related group of assets,

        by
        a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset to future undiscounted net
        cash
        flows expected to be generated by the asset. If such assets are considered

        the
        carrying amount of the assets exceeds the lesser of the recovery amount or
        the
        fair value of the assets. Measurement of fair value may be based upon

        to
        be disposed of are reported at the lower of the carrying amount or the fair

        Company&#8217;s Board of Directors adopted the 2004 Equity Incentive Plan on October
        1, 2004. The 2004 Equity Incentive Plan provides for the grant of incentive
        stock options, nonqualified stock options, stock appreciation rights or &#8220;SARs,&#8221;
restricted stock, and performance awards based on PAV Republic&#8217;s performance,
        the performance of one of the PAV Republic&#8217;s subsidiaries or the performance of
        the participant. PAV Republic&#8217;s directors, officers and employees, and other
        individuals performing services for PAV Republic&#8217;s subsidiaries, may be selected
        by the compensation committee to receive benefits under the plan. A total
        of
        5,556 shares of our common stock may be issued pursuant to the 2004 Equity
        Incentive Plan. On October 1, 2004, options to purchase 4,167 shares were
        issued
        to key employees and on October 5, 2004, 60 shares of restricted stock were
        issued to three outside directors. The restrictions on the stock issued to
        the
        outside directors lapsed upon the achievement of continued service on May
        3,
        2005. On March 14, 2005, options to purchase 208 shares were issued to key
        employees.</font></div>

        options granted in October 2004 and March 2005 generally become exercisable
        over
        a three-year graded vesting period, provided that the participant remains
        a
        director or employee at such time. The stock options expire 10 years from
        the
        date of grant. The Company measures the total cost of each stock option grant
        at
        the date of grant using the Black Scholes option pricing model. The Company
        recognizes the cost of each stock option using the straight-line method over
        the
        stock option vesting period. The stock option based compensation expense,
        included in selling, general and administrative expense was $5.6 million
        for the
        period January 1, 2005 to July 22, 2005. The following table summarizes the

        Company uses natural gas cash-flow exchange contracts or swaps to manage
        fluctuations in the cost of natural gas. Contracts generally do not extend
        beyond one year. The Company recognizes the fair value of these instruments
        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
        adjustment of $0.8 million was recorded as a reduction of cost of goods sold
        in
        the period.</font></div>

        the collective bargaining agreement with the Bricklayers &amp; Allied Craftsman
        International Union and are based upon years of service and age. Health care

        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>

          forth
          below is our unaudited financial information as of September 30, 2006 and
          for
          the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2006 and 2005. This
          financial information has been prepared in accordance with Mexican GAAP
          and is
          presented in constant pesos with purchasing power as of September 30, 2006.
          This
          unaudited financial information includes all adjustments, consisting of
          only
          normally recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair presentation of this
          financial information. You should read this unaudited financial information
          together with our audited consolidated financial statements as of December
          31,
          2005 and 2004 and for each of the three years in the period ended December
          31,
          2005, which are included elsewhere in this prospectus. Since this unaudited
          financial information is presented in constant Mexican pesos with purchasing
          power as of September 30, 2006, it is not directly comparable to the financial
          information presented elsewhere in this prospectus, which, unless otherwise
          stated, is presented in constant Mexican pesos with purchasing power as
          of June
          30, 2006. The financial information presented elsewhere in this prospectus
          stated in constant Mexican pesos with purchasing power as of June 30, 2006
          would
          require the application of a restatement factor of 1.018 for such financial
          information to be comparable with this unaudited financial information.
          We do
          not believe that the application of such factor represents a material change
          in
          the purchasing power of the Mexican peso during this period. The NCPI increased
          2.47% from December 31, 2005 to September 30, 2006 and increased 1.8% from
          June
          30, 2006 to September 30, 2006.</font></div>

          effective tax rate was 12% and 14% for the nine-month periods ended September
          30, 2005 and 2006, respectively. For the nine month period ended September
          30,
          2005, our effective tax rate was lower than the 30% applicable tax rate
          in
          Mexico. Our effective tax rate was lower mainly because in 2005 we recognized
          a
          tax benefit from future non-accumulation of our inventory balance at December
          31, 2004 due to the spin-off of our subsidiary, COSICA. In addition, our
          2005
          effective tax rate was lower due to a decrease in our deferred assets valuation
          allowance resulting from an improved recovery of these assets. For the
          nine
          month period ended September 30, 2006, our effective tax rate was lower
          than the
          29% and 35% tax rates applicable in Mexico and the United States, respectively,
          mainly because in 2006 we amortized all of our deferred tax credit which
          constituted non-taxable income. </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 $245 million where $229
            million
            corresponds to the purchase price and $16 million, to the direct cost
            of the
            business combination. The Company contributed $123 million to acquire
            50.2% of
            the representative shares of SimRep Corporation and Industrias CH, the
            Company&#8217;s
            parent, acquired the remaining 49.8%. SimRep then acquired all the shares
            from
            Republic through a stock purchase agreement. Under the terms of the sock
            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. 414 millions,
            net of
            payment to the predecessor&#8217;s shareholders of Ps. 215 million 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. </font></div>

                    increase in the expenses is driven by two components; the first
                    one is the
                    decrease of the stock compensation expense of $61,134. 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 $87,970, 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. Also the depreciation expense was adjusted as if the
                    allocation
                    of the purchase price would have taken place on January 1, 2005.
                    The value
                    of the plant, property and equipment increased and depreciation
                    expense
                    increased accordingly.</font></div>

      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

      further consideration, the Company continues to believe that this risk is
      particularly important to it. The Company believes that its growth strategy
      has
      been successful because it has retained most of the key management personnel
      of
      the companies that it has acquired. The Company also notes that the SBQ market
      is a niche market where it believes that its management has more experience
      than
      many other competitors. The Company also believes that it would take
      considerable time to train and prepare managers from commercial or merchant
      steel facilities to adapt to the SBQ market. The Company has made some revisions
      to this risk factor in light of this comment however.</font></div>

      adjustment to income tax expense resulting from inventory is described in
      footnote 2 to the table on page F-28. Under the Mexican Income Tax Law (MITLA)
      in force through the fiscal year ended December 31, 2004, the cost of sales
      was
      considered as a non deductible expense and instead, purchases of inventory
      and
      production costs were considered as deductible items. The tax treatment set
      in
      the MITLA gives rise to a deferred tax liability because of the difference
      in
      the book value of inventories and its corresponding tax value
      (NIL).</font></div>

      January 1, 2005, the MITLA considers cost of sales as a deductible item instead
      of purchases of inventory and production costs. With this change, the inventory
      balance at December 31, 2004, would be considered as taxable revenue. The MITLA
      established transition rules to be followed to accumulate the December 31,
      2004
      inventory balance into taxable revenue.</font></div>

      transaction, the Company was able to avoid the accumulation of recapture income
      on COSICA&#8217;s inventory under the specific transition rules of MILTA. As a result,
      the previously recorded deferred tax liability was no longer required.

      adjustment to income tax expense described as &#8220;Additional liability&#8221; should not

      relate to inventory. This adjustment is explained in the paragraph following
      the
      table and footnotes. MILTA ultimately requires the payment of tax on 2005 net
      income which is not otherwise taxed. Note 13c referenced in this paragraph
      further describes this tax. This additional tax indirectly relates to the
      inventory described above as it is the primary source of income not otherwise
      taxed for which the additional tax liability is being provided. The Company

        contribution margin in Tlaxcala is because its collection of scrap accounts
        for
        approximately 75% of the raw materials for its total production and the
        remaining 25% is covered with billet purchases from other plants and third
        parties which increases the cost of finished goods. The shortage of raw material
        that this plant faces forces the Company to buy billet instead of producing
        it
        directly. Without the shortage of raw materials&#160;the Company
        is&#160;currently facing in this plant,&#160;its contribution margin would be
        similar to those&#160;it has in&#160;Guadalajara and Mexicali. Therefore,
        although its margins are lower,&#160;the Company has&#160;have
        aggregated&#160;Tlaxcala in the reportable segment with the other Mexican plants
        because of the billet purchases from the other plants and&#160;because its
        long-term contribution margin is expected to be similar to that of the other
        operating segments.</font><br></div>

        operations,&#160;the Company&#160;aggregates all of&#160;its operations into one
        reportable segment for U.S. GAAP purposes. While the CODM was receiving
        operating results for Republic, they were not being used to assess its
        performance or to allocate resources to it. Since the acquisition and through
        the end of 2005, the Company's&#160;first task was to understand Republic&#8217;s
        production processes, logistics, markets and information systems in order
        to

        integration process of Republic started on July 23, 2005 with a transition
        team
        from Simec that was sent to each of Republic&#8217;s facilities to gain knowledge of
        its operations and management at its manufacturing plants. The transition
        team
        analyzed all of the significant operating processes at each plant and also
        gained knowledge of other significant processes such as manufacturing, sales,
        purchases, commercial strategies and other operation processes. In addition,
        the
        team analyzed the accounting and reporting processes. The transition team
        reported directly to Simec&#8217;s CODM who during the first five months after the
        acquisition, traveled every 15 days to Republic to supervise the integration
        process which was his priority after the acquisition.</font></div>

        once&#160;the Company&#160;processed all the information and knowledge gained
        during the integration process. The Company did not make any significant
        operating decisions or changes in 2005 regarding Republic. Also, the Company&#8217;s
        reporting systems only provided for a manual translation of Republic figures
        into Mexican Pesos and did not provide any additional information on profit
        or
