ACCOUNTING POLICIES |
ACCOUNTING POLICIES | 1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES In the opinion of Titan International, Inc. (Titan or the Company), the accompanying unaudited consolidated condensed financial statements contain all adjustments, which are normal and recurring in nature and necessary for a fair statement of the Company’s financial position as of September 30, 2011, the results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, and cash flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010. Accounting policies have continued without significant change and are described in the Description of Business and Significant Accounting Policies contained in the Company’s 2010 Annual Report on Form 10-K. These interim financial statements have been prepared pursuant to the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules for Form 10-Q’s and, therefore, certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in annual financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America have been condensed or omitted. These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s 2010 Annual Report on Form 10-K. Sales Sales and revenues are presented net of sales taxes and other related taxes. Marketable securities The Company reports investments in marketable securities classified as available-for-sale at fair value. Unrealized gains or losses on available-for-sale marketable securities are reported, net of tax, as a component of other comprehensive income. For unrealized losses which are determined to be other-than-temporary, the loss is recorded as a component of other income (loss). Realized gains and losses on marketable securities are recorded as a component of other income (loss). Fair value of financial instruments The Company records all financial instruments, including cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, notes receivable, accounts payable, other accruals and notes payable at cost, which approximates fair value. Investments in marketable equity securities are recorded at fair value. The senior secured 7.875% notes due 2017 (senior secured notes) and convertible senior subordinated 5.625% notes due 2017 (convertible notes) are carried at cost of $200.0 million and $112.9 million at September 30, 2011, respectively. The fair value of these notes at September 30, 2011, as obtained through independent pricing sources, was approximately $210.0 million for the senior secured notes and approximately $192.4 million for the convertible notes. The increase in the fair value of the convertible notes is due primarily to the increased value of the underlying common stock. Cash dividends The Company declared cash dividends of $.005 and $.015 per share of common stock for each of the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010. The third quarter 2011 cash dividend of $.005 per share of common stock was paid October 15, 2011, to stockholders of record on September 30, 2011. Restatement The Company amended its 2010 Annual Report on Form 10-K on November 9, 2011 to restate its December 31, 2010 consolidated financial statements. The December 31, 2010 condensed balance sheet in this Form 10-Q includes the effect of this restatement. For additional information, see the Form 10-K/A filed on November 9, 2011.
