additional ADSs and the Mexican underwriters an option to purchase up to

        following table sets forth, for the periods indicated, the high, low, average
        and period-end, free-market exchange rate expressed in pesos per U.S. dollar.
        The average annual rates presented in the following table were calculated
        by
        using the average of the exchange rates on the last day of each month during
        the
        relevant period. The data provided in this table is based on noon buying
        rates
        published by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York for cable transfers in
        Mexican
        pesos. We have not restated the rates in constant currency units. All amounts
        are stated in pesos. We make no representation that the Mexican peso amounts
        referred to in this prospectus could have been or could be converted into
        U.S.

        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

        bearing on our operating performance, (iii) other income (expense) that are
        not
        constant operations and (iv) income tax expense and employee statutory
        profit-sharing expense. However, adjusted EBITDA has certain material
        limitations, including that (i) it does not include taxes, which are a necessary
        and recurring part of our operations; (ii) it does not include depreciation
        and
        amortization, which, because we must utilize property, equipment and other
        assets in order to generate revenues in our operations, is a necessary and
        recurring part of our costs; (iii) it does not include comprehensive cost
        of
        financing, which reflects our cost of capital structure and assisted us in
        generating revenue; and (iv) it does not include other income and expenses
        that
        are part of our net income. Therefore, any measure that excludes any or all
        of
        taxes, depreciation and amortization, comprehensive cost of financing and
        other
        income and expenses has material limitations.</font></div>

        Even
        when we can successfully apply surcharges, interim reductions in profit margins
        frequently occur due to a time lag between the increase in raw material prices
        and the market acceptance of higher selling prices for finished steel products.

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

        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

        collection and processing operations furnish a material portion of our scrap
        requirements, we must acquire the remainder of our scrap from other sources.
        Because increases in the prices we are able to charge for our finished steel
        products may lag increases in ferrous scrap prices, such increases in scrap
        prices can adversely affect our operating results. In 2004, the price of

        non-U.S. issuers of securities listed in the United States than is regularly
        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

        trading of securities on the Mexican Stock Exchange, a substantial portion
        of

        The

        things, to regulate the public offering and trading of securities, corporate
        governance, disclosure and reporting standards and to impose sanctions for
        the
        illegal use of insider information and other violations of the Mexican
        Securities Market Law. The National Banking and Securities Commission regulates

        28, 2006, however, in some cases an additional period of 180 days (until
        late
        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

        securities to the public in Mexico, an issuer must meet specific qualitative

        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

        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

        and recurring part of our operations; (ii) it does not include depreciation
        and
        amortization, which, because we must utilize property, equipment and other
        assets in order to generate revenues in our operations, is a necessary and
        recurring part of our costs; (iii) it does not include comprehensive cost
        of

        generating revenue; and (iv) it does not include other income and expenses

        to cash flow as an indicator of liquidity. In making such comparisons, however,
        you should bear in mind that adjusted EBITDA is not defined and is not a
        recognized financial measure under Mexican GAAP or U.S. GAAP and that it
        may be

        believe that adjusted EBITDA can be useful to facilitate comparisons of
        operating performance between periods and with other companies in our industry
        because it excludes the effect of (i) depreciation and amortization, which
        represents a non-cash charge to earnings, (ii) certain financing costs, which
        are significantly affected by external factors, including interest rates,
        foreign currency exchange rates, and inflation rates, which have little or
        no
        bearing on our operating performance, (iii) other income (expense) that are
        not
        constant operations and (iv) income tax expense and employee statutory
        profit-sharing expense. However, adjusted EBITDA has certain material
        limitations, including that (i) it does not include taxes, which are a necessary
        and recurring part of our operations; (ii) it does not include depreciation
        and
        amortization, which, because we must utilize property, equipment and other
        assets in order to generate revenues in our operations, is a necessary and
        recurring part of our costs; (iii) it does not include comprehensive cost
        of
        financing, which reflects our cost of capital structure and assisted us in
        generating revenue; and (iv) it does not include other income and expenses
        that
        are part of our net income. Therefore, any measure that excludes any or all
        of
        taxes, depreciation and amortization, comprehensive cost of financing and
        other
        income and expenses has material limitations.</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>

        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

        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>

        higher
        cost of sales in the six months ended June 30, 2006 primarily to the cost
        of
        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
        at
        our Mexican operations are approximately $4 per hour on average compared
        to
        average hourly wages in our U.S. operations of an average of more than $30
        per
        hour. Although raw material costs are similar in the United States and Mexico,
        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
        that we used to produce steel products (excluding the production of Republic)
        decreased 2% in real terms in the six months ended June 30, 2006 compared
        to the

        this increase to the increase in sales from the Republic facilities and to
        higher prices prevailing in the Mexican steel markets. In early April 2006,
        one
        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
        imbalance in the supply and demand in the Mexican market. As a percentage

        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>

        and somewhat higher production levels. The average cost of raw materials
        that we

        1% in real terms in 2005 compared to 2004, primarily as a result of increases

        million relating to the newly acquired plants in Apizaco and Cholula and
        Ps. 359
        million relating to the newly acquired plants of Republic) compared to Ps.
        2,475
        million in 2004 (including Ps. 373 million relating to the plants in Apizaco
        and
        Cholula) and in 2004 increased 137% compared to Ps. 1,045 million in 2003.
        As a
        percentage of net sales, our marginal profit was 20% in 2005 (33% without
        Republic) compared to 42% in 2004 and 34% in 2003. We attribute the decrease
        in
        marginal profit as a percentage of net sales in 2005 to higher labor costs
        prevailing in our U.S. operations and higher cost of raw material involved
        in
        the production of SBQ steel, and we attribute the increase in 2004 to the
        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% in
        2004 compared to 34% in 2003. As international steel inventory levels increased
        in 2005, prices and surcharges decreased, with our marginal profit as a
        percentage of net sales falling to 33% which was similar to our 34% marginal
        profit level in 2003.</font></div>

        December 2003, we acquired Administradora de Cartera de Occidente, S.A. de
        C.V.
        (&#8220;Acosa&#8221;) from Industrias CH for nominal consideration. Acosa&#8217;s sole asset is a
        portfolio of defaulted receivables it acquired in June 2003 from various
        Mexican
        banks which are in the process of liquidation. The purchase price of the
        portfolio is payable by Acosa solely from recoveries, if any, net of expenses
        of
        collection, with respect to the defaulted receivables. Upon payment of the
        purchase price from recoveries on the portfolio, Acosa and the Mexican banks
        will share in any additional recoveries, net of expenses of collection, on
        a
        50%/50% basis. At December 31, 2005, we did not have any recoveries with
        respect
        to the defaulted receivables. We sold Acosa in October of 2006 for nominal
        consideration.</font></div>

        standards and to serve as a reference in resolving issues arising in the
        accounting practice. The CF consists of eight financial reporting standards,
        which comprise the Financial Reporting Standards-A series. The Financial
        Reporting Standards-A series, together with Financial Reporting Standards
        B-1,

        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

        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>

        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>

        In

        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>

        mini-mill and Cholula facility</em></font><font style="DISPLAY: inline; FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: Times New Roman">.
        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>

        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

        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

        the

        coke
        accounted for approximately 19% of our U.S. and Canadian facilities&#8217; direct
        costs for the six months ended June 30, 2006. In 2005, our U.S. and Canadian
        facilities purchase 100% of their iron ore pellet and a portion of their
        coke
        requirement from U.S. Steel. For the six month period ended June 30, 2006,
        we
        used iron ore pellets and coke in our Lorain, Ohio facility. The iron ore
        pellets and coke made up 9% and 10%, respectively, of the direct costs of
        sales
        in this period. We purchase the remainder of our coke requirement on the

        market. Our Mexican facilities do not use iron ore pellets or coke.</font></div>

        July 22 to December 31, 2005 in our U.S. and Canadian operations and is supplied
        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

        of the
        Mexican Secretary of Energy authorized this agreement for peak hours in the
        period; the rates were less expensive than the rates of CFE in the same period.
        In 2006, the Mexicali facility entered into a new contract with Sempra for
        the
        period May through October 2006.</font></div>

        have
        experienced significant competition from imports into Mexico in the past
        as a
        result of excess worldwide steel production capacity, particularly in periods
        of
        economic slowdown, and as a consequence of the Peso&#8217;s appreciation, making
        imports cheaper and more competitive in Peso terms. In 2003, imports declined
        as
        international market conditions improved and the Peso weakened. Recently,
        the
        Mexican government, at the request of CANACERO, has taken several measures
        to
        prevent unfair trade practices such as dumping the steel import market. The
        overall climate for imports in Mexico is influenced by the free trade agreements
        that Mexico has entered into with other countries, as well as the level of
        tariffs and anti-dumping duties (some of which are described
        below).</font></div>

        for
        finished steel products, including those that compete with our products.
        In July
        of 2000, European imports of steel products paid an initial duty of 8% when
        importing into Mexico, which is scheduled to be reduced progressively until
        reaching zero in 2007. This agreement also provides an opportunity to increase
        our exports to the European countries that are parties to MEFTA since their
        duties on Mexican steel products were reduced to 1.7% in July 2002 and
        eliminated in 2003. Since 2004, following the commitment of the G-7, the
        duties

        expressed its intention to develop the site and is preparing a purchase offer
        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 $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 us to remain in the area.</font></div>

        the best interests of the company. In carrying out this duty, our directors
        are
        required to obtain the necessary information from the general director, the
        executive officers, the external auditors or any other person to act in the
        best

        from
        discussing or voting on matters in which they have a conflict of interest.
        In

        shareholders is knowingly favored or if, without the express approval of
        the
        board of directors, a director takes advantage of a corporate opportunity.
        The

        to the audit and corporate practices committee or the external auditors any
        irregularities that the director encounters in the performance of his or
        her
        duties or (ii) disclosing information that is false or misleading or omitting

        of
        holders of shares of other series, and a holder of shares of such series
        would
        be entitled to judicial relief against any such action taken without such
        a
        vote. Our board of directors or other party calling for shareholder action
        initially would determine whether an action requires a class vote on these
        grounds. A negative determination would be subject to judicial challenge
        by an
        affected shareholder, and a court ultimately would determine the necessity
        for a
        class vote. There are no other procedures for determining whether a proposed
        shareholder action requires a class vote, and Mexican law does not provide
        extensive guidance on the criteria to be applied in making such a
        determination.</font></div>

        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 reclaim a selling concession from a syndicate member when Citigroup Global

        order
        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
        otherwise. If the international underwriters and the Mexican underwriters

      31,
      2005, and total revenues of Ps. 6,260,674 (thousand), for the period then ended.
      Those statements were audited by other auditors whose report has been furnished

      Corporation and subsidiaries, is based solely on the report of the other

      statements are free of material misstatement. We were not engaged to perform
      an
      audit of the Company&#8217;s 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 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

      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>

      Significant items subject to such estimates and assumptions include the carrying

      allowance of accounts receivable, inventories and deferred tax assets, the
      valuation of financial instruments, and the liability for labor obligations.

      bears interest based on one of the two following options, which the Company
      shall choose at its own 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; 2) the LIBOR plus the applicable margin. Margins were
      adjusted based on the available rate for the quarter on a base established
      in
      advance. The base for the applicable margin for the indexed rate was adjusted
      between 0.00% and 1.00%, and the rate for margins applicable to the LIBOR was
      adjusted between 1.75% and 2.75%. From November 1, 2005 through the end of
      2005,
      the rate was fixed at 0.00% for the applicable margins for the prime rate and
      1.00% for the applicable margin for the LIBOR. At December 31, 2005, the loans
      from GE Capital bear interest at an annual 7.25% rate for the loans at indexed
      rates and an annual 5.38% rate for those at the LIBOR.</font></div>

      valuation allowance for deferred assets at December 31, 2005 and 2004 is 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>

      &#160;In conformity with the Mexican Income Tax Law (MITLA) in force through
      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. This tax treatment in the MITLA gave rise to a deferred tax
      liability because of the difference in the book value of inventories and its
      corresponding tax value. Effective January 1, 2005, the MITLA considers cost
      of
      sales as a deductible item instead of inventory purchases and production costs.
      The MITLA established transition rules to be followed to accumulate the December
      31, 2004 inventory balance into taxable revenue. However, during 2005 the
      Company recorded a tax benefit of Ps. 420,537, because of the non-accumulation,
      in the coming years, of its inventory balance at December 31, 2004 in compliance
      with the specific transition rules of MITLA as a result of a corporate
      restructuring (liquidation of its Subsidiary, COSICA) of the
      Company.</font></div>

                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
                Company and Industrias CH acquired Republic to increase their presence

      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

      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

      235,000 (payable in four payments of USD 58,750 over the course of one year)

      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>

                April 28, 2006, approximately Ps. 400 million, net of payment to
                Predecessor&#8217;s shareholders and professional fees, has been received by the

                shareholders and professional fees is estimated to be received by
                May 15,

      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

      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>

      considered as cash flow hedges since the cash flow exchanges under the swap
      are

                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

                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

                natural gas consumption from 2004 to 2006 at a fixed price of USD
                4.462

                USA
                some contracts for natural gas swaps, entered to offset the potential
                natural gas price volatility. These swaps resulted in the marking

                market of all the open contracts as of June 30, 2006 and recording
                a

                On March 8, 2006 the Company and US Steel entered into an agreement

                currently under negotiation. The US operations purchase coke in the

                The

                idle the caster based on sufficient alternative melt capacity. The
                caster
                will restart when commodity prices and business conditions warrant.

      prohibited Pacific Steel from draining into the street waters from spraying
      borax (waste resulting from the process of the scrap yard). This and other

      Steel&#8217;s excavating to recover scrap metal on its property and on a neighbor&#8217;s

      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

      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

      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

      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>

      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>

      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

      This Interpretation also provides guidance on derecognition, classification,

      stock
      options granted in October 2004 generally become exercisable over a three-year
      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.

      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

      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>

      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>

      connection with the acquisition of the operating assets of REPH LLC. The USWA
      labor agreement covers the vast majority of our hourly employees. The USWA

      and
      benefit provisions under this collective bargaining agreement are specified
      until expiration of the agreement and will be subject to negotiations at that
      time. The labor agreement provides for the creation of a defined contribution
      program for retirement healthcare and pension benefits. The Company is required
      to make a contribution for every hour worked. The contribution amount was $3.00
      for every hour worked through August 16, 2004. At that time, the contribution
      amount increased to $3.50 for every hour worked. Effective August 16, 2005
      and
      until the expiration of the labor contract, the contribution increases to $3.80
      for every hour worked. Contributions are directed by the USWA to provide either
      pension benefits and/or retiree medical coverage for future eligible employees
      of Republic Inc. and for retirees of REPH LLC. (However, no contributions may
      be
      used for the purpose of providing medical coverage for the retirees of REPH
      LLC
      if they create, or result in, any liability whatsoever on the part of the
      Company for any obligation of REPH LLC, or any independent obligation to the
      retirees of REPH LLC.) Republic Inc.&#8217;s contributions to the benefits trust
      constitute its sole obligation with respect to providing these benefits. The
      Company recorded expense of $12.5 million in expense related to this provision
      of the labor contract for the year ending December 31, 2004.</font></div>

      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
      performance. </font></div>

      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.

      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

      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>

      In
      connection with our current supply arrangement with US Steel Corporation, we
      produce semi-finished seamless rounds at our Lorain, Ohio facility for purchase
      by US Steel&#8217;s Lorain, Ohio and Fairfield, Alabama facilities. Seamless tubes are
      used in oil and gas drilling and exploration applications. </font></div>

      We also
      sell semi-finished trade products to trade customers that are cast or rolled
      into round cornered squares. These products are typically sold for forging
      applications or to rolling mills operated by competitors that do not have melt
      shop facilities or to steel service centers or distributors, for further
      processing before they reach the ultimate end user. </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 </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

      asset retirement obligation if the fair value of the liability can be reasonably
      estimated. Uncertainty about the timing and (or) method of settlement of a

      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>

      Company has a defined retiree health care plan covering approximately 14 union

      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

      retiree to contribute 50% of the cost of the benefits provided. Currently,

      are no plan assets and the Company funds the benefits as claims are paid. As
      of

      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

          the cost of employee services received in exchange for an award of equity
          instruments based on the grant-date fair value of the award (with limited
          exceptions). That cost will be recognized over the period during which

          Asset Retirement Obligations, an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 143.&#8221; This
          Interpretation clarifies that an entity is required to recognize a liability
          for
          the fair value of a conditional asset retirement obligation if the fair
          value of
          the liability can be reasonably estimated. Uncertainty about the timing
          and (or)
          method of settlement of a conditional asset retirement obligation should
          be
          factored into the measurement of the liability when sufficient information
          exists. This Interpretation is to be effective no later than December 31,
          2005,
          with early adoption encouraged. The Company is in the process of evaluating

          equipment at the Canton, Ohio facility. The Company began the preparation
          for
          installation of the new equipment in December 2004. The caster was installed
          to
          allow flexibility in melt capacity to take advantage of volatile raw material
          prices and to capture potential semi-finished business. 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 cast will restart when commodity prices

          is the

          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. The reserve to cover
          probable environmental liabilities, as well as anticipated compliance
          activities, totaling $5.1&#160;million was recorded as of June 30, 2004. A
          portion of the reserve is included in the balance of other accrued liabilities
          and the remainder is recorded in accrued environmental reserves. The Company
          is
          not otherwise aware at this time of any material environmental remediation
          liabilities or contingent liabilities relating to environmental matters

          respect to our facilities for which the establishment of an additional

          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

          costs that may have a material adverse effect on the Company&#8217;s future financial

          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. At June 30, 2004, the cash account balance is included

          Company assumed a defined retiree health care plan covering approximately
          14

          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 benefits provided. Currently
          there are no plan assets and the Company funds the benefits as claims are
          paid.

      PAV
      Republic Inc. (Republic) through the Company&#8217;s subsidiary SimRep Corporation, a

      million corresponds to the purchase price and USD 16 million, to the direct

      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

      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>

            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>

            to cash flow as an indicator of liquidity. We believe that adjusted EBITDA
            provides a useful measure for investors and analysts to evaluate our
            performance
            and compare it with other companies. In making such comparisons, however,
            you
            should bear in mind that adjusted EBITDA is not defined and is not a
            recognized
            financial measure under Mexican GAAP or U.S. GAAP and that it may be
            calculated
            differently by different companies and must be read in conjunction with
            the

            of Ps.
            1 million in the same period of 2005. We recorded a loss from monetary
            position
            of Ps. 21 million in the nine-month period ended September 30, 2006 compared
            to
            a loss from monetary position of Ps. 18 million in the same period of
            2005,
            reflecting the domestic inflation rate of 2.47% in the nine-month period
            ended
            September 30, 2006 as compared to a 1.72% inflation rate in the same
            period of
            2005. We attribute the decrease in financial income less exchange loss
            due to a
            decrease in the value of the Mexican peso relative to the dollar and
            to higher
            net interest income due in part to our low level of debt. </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>

                      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
            of
            such issue.</font></div>

      proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only such relative benefits but
      also
      the relative fault of the Company on the one hand and of the Underwriters on
      the
      other in connection with the statements or omissions which resulted in such
      Losses as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. Benefits received
      by the Company shall be deemed to be equal to the total net proceeds from the
      offering (before deducting expenses) received by them, benefits received by
      the
      Underwriters shall be deemed to be equal to the total underwriting discounts
      and
      commissions, in each case as set forth on the cover page of the International
      Prospectus. Relative fault shall be determined by reference to, among other
      things, whether any untrue or any alleged untrue statement of a material fact
      or
      the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information
      provided by the Company on the one hand or the Underwriters on the other, the
      intent of the parties and their relative knowledge, access to information and
      opportunity to correct or prevent such untrue statement or omission. The Company
      and the Underwriters agree that it would not be just and equitable if
      contribution were determined by pro rata allocation or any other method of
      allocation which does not take account of the equitable considerations referred
      to above. Notwithstanding the provisions of this paragraph (d), no person guilty
      of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section&#160;11(f) of the
      Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any person who was not guilty of
      such fraudulent misrepresentation. For purposes of this Section&#160;8, each
      person who controls an Underwriter within the meaning of either the Act or
      the
      Exchange Act and each director, officer, employee and agent of an Underwriter
      shall have the same rights to contribution as such Underwriter, and each person
      who controls the Company within the meaning of either the Act or the Exchange
      Act, each officer of the Company who shall have signed the Registration
      Statement and the ADR Registration Statement and each director of the Company
      shall have the same rights to contribution as the Company, subject in each
      case
      to the applicable terms and conditions of this paragraph&#160;(d).</font></div>

      the

      certain cases, the Company signs supply agreements with its customers which

      agreements once all the conditions set forth in the contracts are met and when
      the customers accept the merchandise delivered to them. The agreements disclosed
      in the Company&#8217;s December 31, 2005 financial statements were for merchandise due
      to be delivered during the first months of 2006, and, as of the end of that
      period, all of the products under these supply agreements were delivered, and
      all the conditions therein were satisfied. Therefore, the Company recognized
      all
      of the related revenue in 2006. No reserve for right to return was provided
      since all of the conditions in the agreements were met, and the customers no
      longer have the right to return the merchandise sold. Based on your suggestion,
      the Company reviewed its revenue recognition policy for the interim financial
      statements as of June 30, 2006 and provided a further explanation to discuss
      specifically these types of sales agreements.</font></div>
