<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">An actual valuation of inventory under the LIFO method can be made only at the end of each year
based on the inventory levels and costs at that time. Accordingly, interim LIFO calculations must
necessarily be based on management&#146;s estimates of expected year-end inventory levels and costs.
Because these are subject to many forces beyond management&#146;s control, interim results are subject
to the final year-end LIFO inventory valuation.

<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">NOTE 5 &#150; LONG TERM NOTE PAYABLE



<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">Effective August&nbsp;27, 2004, the Company through its indirectly wholly-owned subsidiary, Encore Wire
Limited, a Texas Limited partnership (&#147;Encore Wire Limited&#148;), refinanced its unsecured loan
facility with two banks (the &#147;Financing Agreement&#148;) and also arranged for a private placement of
debt (the &#147;Note Purchase Agreement&#148;). The Company is the guarantor of the indebtedness.
Obligations under the Financing Agreement and the Note Purchase Agreement are the only contractual
obligations or commercial borrowing commitments of the Company. The term of the Financing
Agreement extends through August&nbsp;27, 2009. The Financing Agreement provides for maximum borrowings
of the lesser of $85&nbsp;million or the amount of eligible accounts receivable plus the amount of
eligible finished goods and raw materials, less any reserves established by the banks. The
calculated maximum borrowing amount available at March&nbsp;31, 2005, as computed under the Financing
Agreement, was $85&nbsp;million. The Financing Agreement is with two banks, Bank of America, N.A., as
Agent, and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, and replaces the previous financing agreement
that was effective August&nbsp;31, 1999 and had been extended by amendments through May&nbsp;31, 2007 with a
total credit line of $125&nbsp;million.

<P align="right" style="font-size: 10pt">FORM 10-Q


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">Concurrent with the Financing Agreement, Encore Wire Limited and the Company, through its agent
bank, entered into the Note Purchase Agreement with Hartford Life Insurance Company, Great-West
Life &#038; Annuity Insurance Company, London Life Insurance Company and London Life and Casualty
Reinsurance Corporation (collectively referred to as the &#147;Purchasers&#148;), whereby Encore Wire Limited
issued and sold $45&nbsp;million of 5.27% Senior Notes, Series&nbsp;2004-A, due August&nbsp;27, 2011 (the &#147;Senior
Notes&#148;) to the Purchasers, the proceeds of which were used to repay a portion of the Company&#146;s
outstanding indebtedness under the previous financing agreement. Through its agent bank, the
Company then entered into an interest rate swap agreement to convert the fixed rate on the Senior
Notes to a variable rate based on LIBOR plus a fixed adder for the seven-year duration of these
notes. As of March&nbsp;31, 2005, the Company recorded an unrealized reduction to Notes Payable on the
balance sheet of $746,311 to account for the fair value of the interest rate swap.



<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">The Financing Agreement and the Senior Notes are unsecured and contain customary covenants and
events of default. The Company was in compliance with these covenants, as of March&nbsp;31, 2005.
Under the Financing Agreement, the Company is allowed to pay cash dividends. At March&nbsp;31, 2005,
the total balance outstanding under the Financing Agreement and the Senior Notes was $66.0&nbsp;million.
Amounts outstanding under the Financing Agreement are payable on August&nbsp;27, 2009, with interest
payments due quarterly. Interest payments on the Senior Notes are due semi-annually.



<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">NOTE 6 &#150; STOCK REPURCHASE AUTHORIZATION



<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">On November&nbsp;6, 2001, the Board of Directors of the Company approved a stock repurchase program
covering the purchase of up to 450,000 additional shares of its common stock dependent upon market
conditions. Common stock purchases under this program were authorized through December&nbsp;31, 2002 on
the open market or through privately negotiated transactions at prices determined by the Chairman
of the Board or the President of the Company. As of December&nbsp;31, 2002, 225,300 shares had been
purchased under this authorization. The Board of Directors has extended this program three times,
through December&nbsp;31, 2005 for the remaining 224,700 shares, however there were no repurchases of
stock in 2003, 2004 and thus far in 2005.



<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">NOTE 7 &#150; CONTINGENCIES



<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">The Company is a party to litigation and claims that arise out of the ordinary business of the
Company. While the results of these matters cannot be predicted with certainty, the Company does
not believe the final outcome of such litigation and claims will have a material adverse effect on
the financial condition, the results of operation or the cash flows of the Company. The Company
also believes that it has adequate insurance to cover any damages that may ultimately be awarded.

<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">The Company&#146;s operating results in any given time period are driven by several key factors,
including; the volume of product produced and shipped, the cost of copper and other raw materials,
the competitive pricing environment in the wire industry and the resulting influence on gross
margins and the efficiency with which the Company&#146;s plant operates during the period, among others.
Price competition for electrical wire and cable is intense, and the Company sells its products in
accordance with prevailing market prices. Copper is the principal raw material used by the Company
in manufacturing its products. Copper accounted for approximately 73.0%, 67.1% and 63.9% of the
Company&#146;s cost of goods sold during fiscal 2004, 2003 and 2002, respectively. The price of copper
fluctuates, depending on general economic conditions and in relation to supply and demand and other
factors, which has caused monthly variations in the cost of copper purchased by the Company. The
Company cannot predict copper prices in the future or the effect of fluctuations in the cost of
copper on the Company&#146;s future operating results.



<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">The following discussion and analysis relates to factors that have affected the operating results
of the Company for the quarterly periods ended March&nbsp;31, 2005 and 2004. Reference should also be
made to the audited financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company&#146;s Annual Report
on Form&nbsp;10-K for the year ended December&nbsp;31, 2004.



<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt"><B>Results of Operations</B>



<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt"><U>Quarter Ended March&nbsp;31, 2005 Compared to Quarter Ended March&nbsp;31, 2004</U>



<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">Net sales for the first quarter of 2005 amounted to $137.2&nbsp;million compared with net sales of
$158.9&nbsp;million for the first quarter of 2004. This dollar decrease was primarily the result of a
16% decrease in the volume of product shipped, offset somewhat by a 3% increase in the price of
wire sold. The company believes the volume of wire sold decreased principally due to reduced
demand in the marketplace. The average cost per pound of raw copper purchased increased 23% in the
first quarter of 2005 compared to the first quarter of 2004, and was the principal reason the
average sales price for wire increased. Fluctuations in sales prices are primarily a result of
changing copper raw material prices and product price competition.



<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">Cost of goods sold remained relatively flat at $126.4&nbsp;million, or 92.2% of net sales, in the first
quarter of 2005, compared to $126.0&nbsp;million, or 79.3% of net sales, in the first quarter of 2004.
Gross profit decreased to $10.7&nbsp;million, or 7.8% of net sales, in the first quarter of 2005 versus
$32.9&nbsp;million, or 20.7% of net sales, in the first quarter of 2004. The decreased gross profit and
gross margin percentages were primarily the result of the decreased volumes and margins in 2005
versus 2004. The margins were compressed dramatically as price competition in the building wire
industry intensified in the quarter as overall demand in the marketplace dropped. As stated above,
wire prices increased only 3% in the first quarter of 2005 versus the first quarter of 2004,
despite the fact that raw copper costs, the principal input into building wire, rose by 23% in the
same period.

<P align="right" style="font-size: 10pt">FORM 10-Q



<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">Inventories are stated at the lower of cost, using the last-in, first-out (LIFO)&nbsp;method, or market.
The Company maintains only one inventory pool for LIFO purposes as all inventories held by the
Company generally relate to the Company&#146;s only business segment, the manufacture and sale of copper
building wire products. As permitted by U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, the Company
maintains its inventory costs and cost of goods sold on a first-in, first-out (FIFO)&nbsp;basis and
makes a quarterly adjustment to adjust total inventory and cost of goods sold from FIFO to LIFO.
The Company applies the lower of cost or market (LCM)&nbsp;test by comparing the LIFO cost of its raw
materials, work-in-process and finished goods inventories to estimated market values, which are
based primarily upon the most recent quoted market price of copper, in pound quantities, as of the
end of each reporting period. Additionally, future reductions in the quantity of inventory on hand
could cause copper that is carried in inventory at costs different from the cost of copper in the
period in which the reduction occurs to be included in costs of goods sold for that period.



<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">As a result of increasing copper costs during the first quarter 2005, a LIFO adjustment was
recorded increasing cost of sales by $2.5&nbsp;million during the quarter. Based on the current copper
prices, there is no LCM adjustment necessary. Future reductions in the price of copper could
require the Company to record an LCM adjustment against the related inventory balance, which would
result in a negative impact on net income.



<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">Selling expenses for the first quarter of 2005 were $7.7&nbsp;million, or 5.6% of net sales, compared to
$9.0&nbsp;million, or 5.7% of net sales, in the first quarter of 2004. The slight percentage decrease
was due to decreased commission costs as a percentage of net sales offset somewhat by an increase
in freight costs due to higher fuel costs being passed on to the Company by trucking companies.
General and administrative expenses decreased to $1.8&nbsp;million, or 1.3% of net sales, in the first
quarter of 2005 compared to $2.0&nbsp;million, or 1.3% of net sales, in the first quarter of 2004. The
General and Administrative costs are semi-fixed by nature and therefore do not fluctuate
proportionately with sales. The provision for bad debts was $45,000 in the first quarter of 2005
versus $180,000 in the first quarter of 2004, when the Company added to its provision to reflect
the larger accounts receivable balances outstanding consistent with the rapid growth of sales in
that period.



<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">The net interest and other income and expense category was $832,000 in the first quarter of 2005
compared to $633,000 in the first quarter of 2004. The increase was due to slightly higher
interest rates during the first quarter of 2005 than the comparable period during 2004, as well as
losses on sales of miscellaneous fixed assets.



<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">Results for the first quarter of 2005 included an adjustment to reduce deferred tax liabilities by
approximately $0.8&nbsp;million, which was finalized by the Company in its tax provision review. This
adjustment increased net income for the quarter ended March&nbsp;31, 2005 by $0.8&nbsp;million.



<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">As a result of the foregoing factors, the Company&#146;s net income decreased to $1.0&nbsp;million in the
first quarter of 2005 from $13.3&nbsp;million in the first quarter of 2004.



<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt"><B>Liquidity and Capital Resources</B>

suppliers. Therefore, the Company&#146;s liquidity needs have generally consisted of operating capital
necessary to finance these receivables and inventory. Capital expenditures have historically been
necessary to expand the production capacity of the Company&#146;s manufacturing operations. The Company
has historically satisfied its liquidity and capital expenditure needs with cash generated from
operations, borrowings under its various debt arrangements and sales of its common stock. The
Company uses its&#146; revolving credit facility to manage day to day operating cash needs as required
by daily fluctuations in working capital. The total debt balance fluctuates daily as cash inflows
differ from cash outflows. The ending balance of debt outstanding at the end of a quarter, coupled
with explanations detailing cash flows and changes in the debt balance in these quarterly reports,
is representative of the net effect of these cash flows during the period.



<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">Effective August&nbsp;27, 2004, the Company through its indirectly wholly-owned subsidiary, Encore Wire
Limited, a Texas Limited partnership (&#147;Encore Wire Limited&#148;), refinanced its unsecured revolving

with the Financing Agreement, the Company arranged for a private placement of debt by entering into
a Note Purchase Agreement (the &#147;Note Purchase Agreement&#148;). The Company is the guarantor of the
indebtedness under both the Financing Agreement and the Note Purchase Agreement. Obligations under
the Financing Agreement, the Note Purchase Agreement, and the Senior Notes issued thereunder, as

of $11.4&nbsp;million in the first quarter of 2004. The use of cash in 2004 resulted from the large
increase in copper prices driving inventories and receivables higher in the first quarter of 2004.
Cash used in investing activities decreased to $2.6&nbsp;million in the first quarter of 2005 from $7.5
million in the first quarter of 2004. In 2004, the funds were used primarily to begin construction
of the new 162,000 square foot addition to the distribution center as well as the purchase of
associated manufacturing equipment that was part of the Company&#146;s capital plan. The $16.2&nbsp;million
and the $34.9&nbsp;million of cash provided by financing activities in the first quarter of 2005 and
2004 respectively, were a result of the Company&#146;s increase in outstanding bank debt as discussed
above.



<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">During the remainder of 2005, the Company expects its capital expenditures will consist of
additional plant and equipment for its residential and commercial wire operations, primarily
related to the new armored cable plant, which was discussed in a press release, dated March&nbsp;21,
2005. Current plans are to construct this plant during 2005 and the first half of 2006. The total
capital expenditures associated with these projects are currently estimated to be in the $15.0 to
$22.0&nbsp;million range in 2005. The Company will continue to manage its working capital requirements.
These requirements may increase as a result of expected continued sales increases and may be
impacted by the price of copper. The Company believes that the cash flow from operations and the
financing available under the Financing Agreement will satisfy working capital and capital
expenditure requirements during 2005.
