</DIV>


<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">The unaudited consolidated financial statements of Encore Wire Corporation (the &#147;Company&#148;) have
been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles for interim
information and the instructions to Form 10-Q and Rule&nbsp;10-01 of Regulation&nbsp;S-X. Accordingly, they
do not include all of the information and footnotes required by U.S. generally accepted accounting
principles for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments,
consisting only of normal recurring adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation, have
been included. Results of operations for interim periods presented do not necessarily indicate
the results that may be expected for the entire year. These financial statements should be read in
conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the
Company&#146;s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December&nbsp;31, 2005.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 12pt">NOTE 2 &#150; STOCK BASED COMPENSATION
</DIV>


<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">The Company has one stock option plan that provides for the grant of stock options to its
employees. The Company grants stock option awards at prices equal to the market value of its stock
on the date of grant. These options vest ratably over a period of five years from the time the
options are granted with maximum terms of ten years.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">Prior to December&nbsp;31, 2005, the Company applied the disclosure-only provisions of Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No.&nbsp;123, <I>Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation </I>(&#147;SFAS 123&#148;). In
accordance with the provisions of SFAS 123, the Company applied Accounting Principles Board Opinion
No.&nbsp;25, <I>Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees </I>(&#147;APB 25&#148;) and related interpretations in
accounting for its plan and, accordingly, did not recognize compensation expense for the plan
because stock options were issued at exercise prices equal to the market value of its stock on the
date of grant.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">Effective January&nbsp;1, 2006, the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No.&nbsp;123
(revised 2004), <I>Share-Based Payment </I>(&#147;SFAS 123R&#148;), which supersedes SFAS 123 and APB 25. SFAS 123R
requires all share-based payments to employees to be recognized in the financial statements based
on their fair values using an option-pricing model, such as the Black-Scholes model, at the date of
grant. The Company elected to use the Black-Scholes model and the modified prospective method for
adoption, which requires compensation expense to be recorded for all unvested stock options
beginning in the first quarter of adoption. For all unvested options outstanding as of January&nbsp;1,
2006, compensation expense previously measured under SFAS No.&nbsp;123, but unrecognized, will be
recognized using the straight-line method over the remaining vesting period, net of forfeitures.
For share-based payments granted subsequent to January&nbsp;1, 2006, compensation expense, based on the
fair value on the date of grant, as defined by SFAS 123R, will be recognized using the
straight-line method from the date of grant over the related service period of the employee
receiving the award. The Company did not grant any stock options during the second quarter of
2006.

<DIV style="font-family: Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif">


<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">SFAS 123R requires the estimation of forfeitures when recognizing compensation expense and that
this estimate of forfeitures be adjusted over the requisite service period should actual
forfeitures differ from such estimates. Changes in estimated forfeitures are recognized through a
cumulative catch-up adjustment, which is recognized in the period of change and which impacts the
amount of un-recognized compensation expense to be recorded in future periods.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">SFAS No.&nbsp;123R reduced income from continuing operations before income taxes for the six-month
period ended June&nbsp;30, 2006 by approximately $194,983, and did not appreciably impact net income per
common share. As of June&nbsp;30, 2006, total unrecognized compensation cost related to stock option
awards granted prior to January&nbsp;1, 2006, was approximately $249,090 and the related
weighted-average period over which it is expected to be recognized is approximately 1.4&nbsp;years.

based on the inventory levels and costs at that time. Accordingly, interim LIFO calculations are
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.

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 12pt">NOTE 5 &#150; LONG TERM NOTE PAYABLE
</DIV>


<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">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 Financing Agreement was
amended May&nbsp;16, 2006 to expand the Company&#146;s line of credit from $85,000,000 to $150,000,000, as
disclosed in the Company&#146;s press release dated May&nbsp;26, 2006. The Financing Agreement, as amended,
extends through August&nbsp;27, 2009, and provides for maximum borrowings of the lesser of $150&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 June&nbsp;30, 2006, as computed under the Financing Agreement, was $150&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.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">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 June&nbsp;30, 2006, the Company recorded a liability and a corresponding unrealized
reduction to Notes Payable on the balance sheet of $2,313,663 to account for the fair value of the
interest rate swap.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">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 June&nbsp;30, 2006. Under
the Financing Agreement, the Company is allowed to pay cash dividends. At June&nbsp;30, 2006, the total
balance outstanding under the Financing Agreement and the Senior Notes was $154.6&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.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 12pt">NOTE 6 &#150; STOCK REPURCHASE AUTHORIZATION
</DIV>


<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">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 four times,
through December&nbsp;31, 2006 for the remaining 224,700 shares; however there have been no further
repurchases of stock since 2002.

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.

</DIV>


<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">The Company is a low-cost manufacturer of copper electrical building wire and cable. The Company
is a significant supplier of residential wire for interior wiring in homes, apartments and
manufactured housing and commercial wire for commercial and industrial buildings.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">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 76.8%, 73.0% and 67.1% of the
Company&#146;s cost of goods sold during fiscal 2005, 2004 and 2003, 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.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">The following discussion and analysis relates to factors that have affected the operating results
of the Company for the quarterly and six-month periods ended June&nbsp;30, 2006 and 2005. Reference
should also be made to the audited financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company&#146;s
Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December&nbsp;31, 2005.

</DIV>


<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">Net sales for the second quarter of 2006 amounted to $362.0&nbsp;million compared with net sales of
$169.3&nbsp;million for the second quarter of 2005. This dollar increase was primarily the result of a
137% increase in the average price of wire sold. The average cost per pound of raw copper
purchased increased 110% in the second quarter of 2006 compared to the second quarter of 2005, and
was the principal reason the average sales price for wire increased. These factors resulted in
increased gross margins in the second quarter of 2006 versus the second quarter of 2005.
Fluctuations in sales prices are primarily a result of changing copper raw material prices and
product price competition.

<DIV style="font-family: Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif">


<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">Cost of goods sold increased to $255.2&nbsp;million, or 70.5% of net sales, in the second quarter of
2006, compared to $153.9&nbsp;million, or 90.9% of net sales, in the second quarter of 2005. Gross
profit increased to $106.9&nbsp;million, or 29.5% of net sales, in the second quarter of 2006 versus
$15.4&nbsp;million, or 9.1% of net sales, in the second quarter of 2005. The increased gross profit and
gross margin percentages were primarily the result of industry wide pricing trends that increased
the spread between the selling price of copper wire and the purchase cost of raw copper.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">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.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">As a result of increasing copper costs and an increase in the amount of inventory on hand during
the second quarter 2006, a LIFO adjustment was recorded, increasing cost of sales by $42.9&nbsp;million
during the quarter. Based on copper prices at the end of the quarter, no LCM adjustment was
necessary. Future reductions in the price of copper could require the Company to record a LCM
adjustment against the related inventory balance, which would result in a negative impact on net
income.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">Selling expenses for the second quarter of 2006 were $14.2&nbsp;million, or 3.9% of net sales, compared
to $8.9&nbsp;million, or 5.3% of net sales, for the second quarter of 2005. The percentage decrease was
due to the decrease in freight costs as a percentage of net sales, driven by the large increase in
sales dollars discussed above. Freight costs increased on a per pound basis, however, primarily due
to higher fuel costs in the trucking industry. General and administrative expenses increased in
dollar terms to $2.5&nbsp;million, but declined in percentage terms to 0.7% of net sales, in the second
quarter of 2006 compared to $1.9&nbsp;million, or 1.1% of net sales, in the second quarter of 2005. 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 second quarter of 2006
and 2005.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">Net interest and other income and expense was $1,945,000 in the second quarter of 2006 compared to
$770,000 in the second quarter of 2005. The increase was due primarily to higher average debt
balances and higher interest rates during the second quarter of 2006 than during the comparable
period in 2005. Taxes were accrued at an effective rate of 35.3% in the second quarter of 2006
consistent with the Company&#146;s estimated liabilities.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">As a result of the foregoing factors, the Company&#146;s net income increased to $57.1&nbsp;million in the
second quarter of 2006 from $2.4&nbsp;million in the second quarter of 2005.

93.9% increase in the average price of wire sold. The average cost per pound of raw copper
purchased increased 76.4% in the first six months of 2006 compared to the first six months of 2005,

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.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">As a result of increasing copper costs and an increased amount of inventory on hand during the
first six months of 2006, a LIFO adjustment was recorded increasing cost of sales by $52.3&nbsp;million
during the period. 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 a LCM adjustment
against the related inventory balance, which would result in a negative impact on net income.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">Selling expenses for the first six months of 2006 were $25.5&nbsp;million, or 4.1% of net sales,
compared to $16.6&nbsp;million, or 5.4% of net sales, in the same period of 2005. The percentage
decrease was due to the decrease in freight costs as a percentage of net sales, driven by the large
increase in sales dollars discussed above. Freight costs increased on a per pound basis, however,
primarily due to higher fuel costs in the trucking industry. General and administrative expenses
increased to $4.6&nbsp;million, or 0.8% of net sales, in the first six months of 2006 compared to $3.7
million, or 1.2% of net sales, in the same period of 2005. The general and administrative costs
are semi-fixed by nature and therefore do not fluctuate proportionately with sales, resulting in
the decreased percentage to sales dollars. The provision for bad debts was $90,000 in the first
six months of 2006 and 2005.

<DIV style="font-family: Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif">



<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">Net interest expense was $3,078,000 in the first six months of 2006 compared to $1,602,000 in the
first half of 2005. The increase was due primarily to higher average debt balances and higher
interest rates during the first six months of 2006 than during the comparable period of 2005.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">As a result of the foregoing factors, the Company&#146;s net income increased to $73.2&nbsp;million in the
first half of 2006 from $3.5&nbsp;million in the first half of 2005.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 12pt"><B>Liquidity and Capital Resources</B>
</DIV>


<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">The Company maintains a substantial inventory of finished products to satisfy customer&#146;s prompt
delivery requirements. As is customary in the industry, the Company provides payment terms to most
of its customers that exceed terms that it receives from its 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.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">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 Financing Agreement was
amended May&nbsp;16, 2006 to expand the Company&#146;s line of credit from $85,000,000 to $150,000,000, as
disclosed in the Company&#146;s press release dated May&nbsp;26, 2006. The Financing Agreement, as amended,
extends through August&nbsp;27, 2009, and provides for maximum borrowings of the lesser of $150&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 June&nbsp;30, 2006, as computed under the Financing Agreement, was $150&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.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">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 June&nbsp;30, 2006, the Company recorded a liability and a corresponding unrealized
reduction to Notes Payable on the balance sheet of $2,313,663 to account for the fair value of the
interest rate swap.

<DIV style="font-family: Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif">



<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">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 June&nbsp;30, 2006. Under
the Financing Agreement, the Company is allowed to pay cash dividends. At June&nbsp;30, 2006, the total
balance outstanding under the Financing Agreement and the Senior Notes was $154.6&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.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">Cash used in operations was $69.3&nbsp;million in the first six months of 2006 compared to $17.6&nbsp;million
of cash used by operations in the first six months of 2005. The decrease in cash provided by
operations resulted primarily from the increase in accounts receivable of $106.4&nbsp;million in the
first six months of 2006 versus an increase of $15.9&nbsp;million in 2005 along with an increase in
inventory of $66.2&nbsp;million in 2006 versus an increase of $10.6&nbsp;million in 2005, offset by the $69.7
million increase in net income in the first six months of 2006 versus the first six months of 2005.
The large increases in accounts receivable and inventory were primarily the result of the
significant increases in copper prices from year to year as discussed in &#147;Results of Operations&#148;
above. Copper prices increased the dollar value of inventory on hand and drove the sales prices
for copper building wire higher resulting in the increased accounts receivable balance. Net income
increased due to the reasons highlighted in &#147;Results of Operations&#148;, above.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">Cash used in investing activities increased to $15.4&nbsp;million in the first six months of 2006 from
$4.4&nbsp;million in the first six months of 2005. In 2006, the funds were used primarily to construct
the new 160,000 square foot armored cable plant and to purchase manufacturing equipment for the new
plant. The $84.9&nbsp;million and the $20.4&nbsp;million of cash provided by financing activities in the
first six months of 2006 and 2005, respectively, were a result of the Company&#146;s increase in
outstanding bank debt, which was used primarily to fund the Company&#146;s increased working capital
requirements as discussed above.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">During the remainder of 2006, 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. The armored cable plant has been constructed and a majority of the machinery planned in the
initial phase of this project has been installed. The Company began shipping armored cable in July
2006. The total capital expenditures associated with these projects in 2006 are currently
estimated to be in the $20.0 to $25.0&nbsp;million range. 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 amended Financing Agreement will satisfy
working capital and capital expenditure requirements for the next twelve months.
