ACQUISITIONS

Acquisition of Goodyear's Latin American Farm Tire Business

On April 1, 2011, Titan closed on the acquisition of The Goodyear Tire & Rubber Company's ("Goodyear") Latin American farm tire business for approximately $98.6 million U.S. dollars. The transaction includes Goodyear's Sao Paulo, Brazil manufacturing plant, property, equipment; inventories; a licensing agreement that allows Titan to sell Goodyear-brand farm tires in Latin America for seven years; and extends the North American licensing agreement for seven years.

The purchase price was allocated to the assets acquired and the liabilities assumed based on their fair values. Inventory was valued using the comparative sales method. Real and personal property was valued at fair value. The excess of the purchase price of the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed was reflected as goodwill. The goodwill was allocated to the agricultural segment.

The purchase price allocation of the Latin American farm tire business consisted of the following (in thousands):



Cash	$	1,018
Inventories	14,562
Deferred income taxes - current asset	2,948
Prepaid & other current assets	4,929
Property, plant & equipment	108,905
Goodwill	11,536
Other assets	39,263
Other current liabilities	(21,127		)
Deferred income taxes - noncurrent liability	(22,573		)
Other noncurrent liabilities	(40,823		)
Net assets acquired	$	98,638

The purchase price allocation has changed from that reported in the Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2011. In the first quarter of 2012, after filing of the Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2011, Titan became aware of information related to the classification of the Latin American business for US tax purposes. As a result of this information, which was available at the time of acquisition, Titan concluded that there was an error in the original accounting for the acquisition. Titan has concluded that the impact of this error is immaterial to the consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2011 and for the quarter ended March 31, 2012, and therefore the correction of this error was recorded as of January 1, 2012. The correction of this error impacted the following areas: an increase in current deferred income tax asset of $2.9 million, a decrease in goodwill of $11.4 million, and a decrease in noncurrent deferred income tax liability of $8.4 million. As a result of currency exchange rate differences, the January 1, 2012 recorded decrease in goodwill was $10.1 million, with a $1.2 million offset in currency translation adjustment.

Pro forma financial information

The following unaudited pro forma financial information gives effect to the acquisition of Goodyear's Latin American farm tire business as if the acquisition had taken place on January 1, 2011. The pro forma financial information for the Sao Paulo, Brazil manufacturing facility was derived from The Goodyear Tire & Rubber Company's historical accounting records. These amounts have been calculated by adjusting the historical results of the Sao Paulo, Brazil facility to reflect the additional depreciation and the amortization of the prepaid royalty discount and supply agreement liability assuming the fair value adjustments had taken place.

Pro forma financial information is as follows (in thousands, except per share data):



	Three months ended March 31,
	2012 (Actual)		2011 (Pro forma)
Net sales	$	463,088	$	309,229
Net income	35,394		1,094
Net income attributable to Titan	35,419		1,094
Basic earnings per share	$	.84	$	.03
Diluted earnings per share	.68		.04

The pro forma information is presented for illustrative purposes only and may not be indicative of the results that would have been obtained had the acquisition actually occurred on January 1, 2011, nor is it necessarily indicative of Titan's future consolidated results of operations or financial position. The net sales for the three months ended March 31, 2012 include $57.5 million of supply agreement sales, which are not included in the 2011 pro forma financial information.
