<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">Encore&#146;s strategy for expanding its share of the building wire market
emphasizes customer service and product innovations coupled with low-cost production.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt"><I>Customer Service. </I>Responsiveness to customers is a primary focus of Encore, with an emphasis on
building and maintaining strong customer relationships. Encore seeks to establish customer loyalty
by achieving a high order fill rate and rapidly handling customer orders, shipments, inquiries and
returns. The Company maintains product inventories sufficient to meet anticipated customer demand
and believes that the speed and completeness with which it fills orders are key competitive
advantages critical to marketing its products.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt"><I>Product Innovation. </I>Encore has been a leader in bringing new ideas to a commodity product. Encore

approximately 5,000 stock-keeping units (&#147;SKUs&#148;) of building wire. The principal bases for
differentiation among SKUs are product diameter, insulation, color and packaging.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt"><I>NM-B Cable. </I>Non-metallic sheathed cable is used primarily as interior wiring in homes, apartments
and manufactured housing. NM-B cable is composed of either two or three insulated copper wire
conductors, with or without an uninsulated ground wire, all sheathed in a polyvinyl chloride
(&#147;PVC&#148;) jacket.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt"><I>UF-B Cable. </I>Underground feeder cable is used to conduct power underground to outside lighting and

</DIV>


<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">The efficiency of Encore&#146;s highly automated manufacturing facility is a key element of its low-cost
production capability. Encore&#146;s residential wire manufacturing lines have been integrated so that
the handling of product is substantially reduced throughout the production process.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">The manufacturing process for the Company&#146;s products involves up to six steps: casting, drawing,
stranding, compounding, insulating and jacketing.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt"><I>Rod Mill</I>. Rod is produced by melting sheets of copper cathode and copper scrap, casting the molten
copper into a bar and rolling the hot copper bar into a 5/16 inch copper rod to be drawn into
copper wire.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt"><I>Drawing</I>. Drawing is the process of reducing 5/16 inch copper rod through converging dies until the
specified wire diameter is attained. The wire is then heated with electrical current to soften or
&#147;anneal&#148; the wire to make it easier to handle.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt"><I>Stranding. </I>Stranding is the process of twisting together from seven to sixty-one individual wire
strands to form a single cable. The purpose of stranding is to improve the flexibility of wire
while maintaining its electrical current carrying capacity.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt"><I>PVC Compounding. </I>PVC compounding is the process of mixing the various raw materials that are
required to produce the PVC necessary to meet U/L specifications for the insulation and jacket
requirements for the wire that is manufactured.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt"><I>Insulating. </I>Insulating is the process of extruding first PVC and then nylon (where applicable)
over the solid or stranded wire.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt"><I>Jacketing. </I>Jacketing is the process of extruding PVC over two or more insulated conductor wires,
with or without an uninsulated ground wire, to form a finished product. The Company&#146;s jacketing
lines are integrated with packaging lines that cut the wire and coil it onto reels or package it in
boxes or shrink-wrap.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">Encore manufactures and tests all of its products in accordance with the standards of Underwriters
Laboratories, Inc. (&#147;U/L&#148;), a nationally recognized testing and standards agency. Encore&#146;s machine
operators and quality control inspectors conduct frequent product tests. At three separate
manufacturing stages, the Company spark tests insulated wire for defects. The Company tests
finished products for electrical continuity to ensure compliance with its own quality standards and
those of U/L. Encore&#146;s manufacturing lines are equipped with laser micrometers to measure wire
diameter and insulation thickness while the lines are in operation. During each shift, operators
take physical measurements of products, which Company inspectors randomly verify on a daily basis.

</DIV>


<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">Encore sells its wire principally to wholesale electrical distributors throughout the United States
and, to a lesser extent, to retail home improvement centers. Most distributors supply products to
electrical contractors. The Company sells its products to at least 64% of the top 200 wholesale
electrical distributors (by volume) in the United States according to information reported in the
June&nbsp;2006 issue of Electrical Wholesaling magazine. No customer accounted for more than ten
percent of net sales in 2006.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">Encore believes that the speed and completeness with which it fills customers&#146; orders is crucial to
its ability to expand the market share for its products. The Company also believes that, in order
to reduce costs, many customers no longer maintain their own substantial inventories. Because of
this trend, the Company seeks to maintain sufficient inventories to satisfy customers&#146; prompt
delivery requirements.

</DIV>


<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">Encore markets its products throughout the United States primarily through independent
manufacturers&#146; representatives and, to a lesser extent, through its own direct marketing efforts.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">Encore maintains the majority of its finished product inventory at its plant in McKinney, Texas.
In order to provide flexibility in handling customer requests for immediate delivery of the
Company&#146;s products, additional product inventories are maintained at warehouses owned and operated
by independent manufacturers&#146; representatives located throughout the United States. As of December
31, 2006, additional product inventories are maintained at the warehouses of independent
manufacturers&#146; representatives located in Chattanooga, Tennessee; Norcross, Georgia; Cincinnati,
Ohio; Detroit, Michigan; Edison, New Jersey; Louisville, Kentucky; Greensboro, North Carolina;
Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania; Santa Fe Springs, California; and Hayward, California. Some of these
manufacturers&#146; representatives, as well as the Company&#146;s other manufacturers&#146; representatives,
maintain offices without warehouses in numerous locations throughout the United States.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">Finished goods are typically delivered to warehouses and customers by trucks operated by common
carriers. The decision regarding the carrier to be used is based primarily on cost and
availability.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">The Company invoices its customers directly for products purchased and, if an order has been
obtained through a manufacturer&#146;s representative, pays the representative a commission based on
pre-established rates. The Company determines customers&#146; credit limits. The Company&#146;s bad debt
experience in 2006, 2005 and 2004 was 0.0%, 0.03% and 0.04% of net sales, respectively. The
manufacturers&#146; representatives have no discretion to increase customers&#146; credit limits or to
determine prices charged for the Company&#146;s products, and all sales are subject to approval by the
Company. Encore sells all of its products with a one-year replacement warranty. Warranty expenses
have historically been nominal.

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">Encore believes that its hourly employees are highly motivated and that their motivation
contributes significantly to the plant&#146;s efficient operation. The Company attributes the
motivation of these employees largely to the fact that a significant portion of their compensation
comes from incentive pay that is tied to productivity and quality standards. The Company believes
that its incentive program focuses its employees on maintaining product quality.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">Encore emphasizes safety to its manufacturing employees through its safety program. On a weekly
basis, each team of employees meets to review safety standards and, on a monthly basis, a group of
participants from each team discusses safety issues and inspects each area of the plant for
compliance. The Company&#146;s safety program is an integral part of its focus on cost control.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">As of December&nbsp;31, 2006, Encore had 755 employees, 663 of whom were paid hourly wages and were
primarily engaged in the operation and maintenance of the Company&#146;s manufacturing and warehouse
facility. The remainder of the Company&#146;s employees were executive, supervisory, administrative,
sales and clerical personnel. The Company considers its relations with its employees to be good.
The Company has no collective bargaining agreements with any of its employees.

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">The principal raw materials used by Encore in manufacturing its products are copper cathode, copper
scrap, PVC thermoplastic compounds, aluminum, steel, paper and nylon, all of which are readily
available from a number of suppliers. Copper requirements are purchased primarily from producers
and merchants at prices determined each month primarily based on the average daily COMEX closing
prices for copper for that month, plus a negotiated premium. The Company also purchases raw
materials necessary to manufacture various PVC thermoplastic compounds. These raw materials
include PVC resin, clay and plasticizer.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">The Company produces copper rod in its own rod fabrication facility. The Company produces copper
rod from purchased copper cathodes. The Company also reprocesses copper scrap generated by its
operations and copper scrap purchased from others. In 2006, the copper rod fabrication facility
manufactured the majority of the Company&#146;s copper rod requirements.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">The Company also compounds its own wire jacket and insulation compounds. The process involves the

</DIV>


<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">The electrical wire and cable industry is highly competitive. The Company competes with several
manufacturers of wire and cable products beyond the building wire segment in which the Company
competes. The Company&#146;s primary competitors include Southwire Company, Cerro Wire and Cable Co.,
Inc., United Copper Industries and AFC Cable Systems, Inc.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">The principal elements of competition in the electrical wire and cable industry are, in the opinion
of the Company, pricing, order fill rate and, in some instances, breadth of product line. The
Company believes that it is competitive with respect to all of these factors.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">Competition in the electrical wire and cable industry, although intense, has been primarily from
U.S. manufacturers, including foreign owned facilities located in the United States. The Company
has encountered no significant competition from imports of building wire. The
Company believes this is because direct labor costs generally account for a relatively small
percentage of the cost of goods sold for these products.

results and results of operations. These risk factors should be considered in connection with
evaluating the forward-looking statements contained in this Annual Report on Form 10-K because
these factors could cause the actual results and conditions to differ materially from those

of its stock could fluctuate significantly.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 12pt"><B>Product Pricing and Volatility of Copper Market</B>
</DIV>


<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">Price competition for copper electrical wire and cable is intense, and the Company sells its
product in accordance with prevailing market prices. Copper, a commodity product, is the principal
raw material used in the Company&#146;s manufacturing operations. Copper accounted for approximately
82.3% and 76.8% of its costs of goods sold during 2006 and 2005, respectively, and the Company
expects that copper will continue to account for a significant portion of these costs in the
future. The price of copper fluctuates, depending on general economic conditions and in relation
to supply and demand and other factors, and causes 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 costs of copper on the Company&#146;s future operating results. Consequently,
fluctuations in copper prices caused by market forces can significantly affect the Company&#146;s
financial results.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 12pt"><B>Operating Results May Fluctuate</B>
</DIV>


<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">Encore&#146;s quarterly results of operations may fluctuate as a result of a number of factors,
including fluctuation in the demand for and shipments of the Company&#146;s products. Therefore,
quarter-to-quarter comparisons of results of operations have been and will be impacted by the
volume of such orders and shipments. In addition, its operating results could be adversely
affected by the following factors, among others, such as variations in the mix of product sales,
price changes in response to competitive factors, increases in raw material costs and other
significant costs, the loss of key manufacturers representatives who sell the Company&#146;s product
line, increases in utility costs (particularly electricity and natural gas) and various types of
insurance coverage and interruptions in plant operations resulting from the interruption of raw
material supplies and other factors.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 12pt"><B>Reliance on Senior Management</B>
</DIV>


<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">Encore&#146;s future operating results depend, in part, upon the continued service of its senior
management, including, Mr.&nbsp;Daniel L. Jones, the President and Chief Executive Officer, and Mr.
Frank J. Bilban, the Company&#146;s Vice President and Chief Financial Officer (neither of whom are
bound by an employment agreement). The Company&#146;s future success will depend upon its continuing
ability to attract and retain highly qualified managerial and technical personnel. Competition for
such personnel is intense, and there can be no assurance that the Company will retain its key
managerial and technical employees or that it will be successful in attracting, assimilating or
retaining other highly qualified personnel in the future.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 12pt"><B>Industry Conditions and Cyclicality</B>
</DIV>


<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">The residential, commercial and industrial construction industries, which are the end users of the
Company&#146;s products, are cyclical and are affected by a number of factors including changes in
interest rates, the general condition of the economy and market demand. Industry sales of
electrical wire and cable products tend to parallel general construction activity, which includes
remodeling. There can be no assurance that future downturns in the residential, commercial or
industrial construction industries will not have a material adverse effect on the Company.
</DIV>

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


<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">The electrical wire and cable industry is highly competitive. The Company competes with several
manufacturers of wire and cable products that have substantially greater resources than the
Company. Some of these competitors are owned and operated by large, diversified companies. The
Company&#146;s primary competitors include Southwire Company, Cerro Wire and Cable Co., Inc., United
Copper Industries and AFC Cable Systems, Inc. The principal elements of competition in the wire
and cable industry are, in the opinion of the Company, pricing, product availability and quality
and, in some instances, breadth of product line. The Company believes that it is competitive with
respect to all of these factors. While the number of firms producing wire and cable has declined
in the past, there can be no assurance that new competitors will not emerge or that existing
producers will not employ or improve upon the Company&#146;s manufacturing and marketing strategy.

operating results, announcements of technological innovations, the introduction of new products or
changes in product pricing policies by the Company or its competitors, developments regarding

miles north of Dallas. The Company&#146;s facilities are located on a combined site of approximately
115 acres and consist of buildings containing approximately 1,285,000 square feet of floor space,
of which approximately 24,000 square feet is used for office space and 1,261,000 square feet is
used for manufacturing and warehouse operations. The Company is in the process of constructing a
new office building on the McKinney site. This building will have approximately 60,000 square feet
and is being built to allow further plant expansions that are blocked by the current office. The
plant and equipment are owned by the Company and are not mortgaged to secure any of the Company&#146;s
existing indebtedness. Encore believes that its plant and equipment are suited to its present
needs, comply with applicable federal, state and local laws and regulations, are properly

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">These factors, and others, have allowed Encore Wire to grow from a startup in 1989 to $1.25&nbsp;billion
in net sales in 2006. Encore has built a loyal following of customers throughout the lower 48
United States. These customers have developed a brand preference for Encore Wire in a commodity
product line, due to the reasons noted above, among others. The Company prides itself on striving
to grow sales only where profit margins are acceptable. Senior management monitors gross margins
daily, frequently extending down to the individual order level. Management strongly believes that
this focused approach to the building wire business has produced success thus far and will lead to
continued success.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">In 2006, the Company completed the construction of a new 160,000 square foot building on its
McKinney, Texas campus to manufacture armored (MC &#038; AC) cable. Armored cable contains copper
conductors currently manufactured by the Company, with an aluminum or steel flexible outer jacket.
The new facility houses armoring machines the Company purchased. The Company markets the armored
cable to its existing customer base, the majority of whom are currently buying this product from
other suppliers. Sales of this product line started in the third quarter of 2006.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">The construction and remodeling industries drive demand for building wire. Housing construction
activity in the U.S.A. softened significantly in 2006. Nationally, commercial construction, which
had been down in the first half of the decade picked up in the last two years and according to
industry forecasts, may stay strong over the next several years. Data on remodeling is not readily
available, however remodeling activity can trend up when new construction slows down.

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


<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">Price competition for electrical wire and cable is intense, and the Company sells its products in
accordance with prevailing market prices. Copper, a commodity product, is the principal raw
material used by the Company in manufacturing its products. Copper accounted for approximately
82.3%, 76.8%, 73.0%, 67.1%, and 63.9% of the Company&#146;s cost of goods sold during fiscal 2006, 2005,
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 causes monthly variations
in the cost of copper purchased by the Company. The price of copper rose gradually in 2003 and
then accelerated its rise in the fourth quarter. In 2004, copper prices trended upward in the
first quarter and then traded in a range during the remainder of 2004. In 2005, copper prices rose
slowly and steadily through the first half of the year and then more rapidly in the second half of
the year. In 2006, copper prices rose quickly from January through May and then slowly descended
throughout the rest of the year. 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 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 years ended December&nbsp;31, 2006, 2005 and 2004. Reference should also be made
to the Consolidated Financial Statements and the related notes included under &#147;Item&nbsp;8. Financial
Statements and Supplementary Data&#148; of this Annual Report.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">Net sales were $1.249&nbsp;billion in 2006, compared to $758.1&nbsp;million in 2005 and $603.2&nbsp;million in
2004. The 65% increase in net sales in 2006 versus 2005 was primarily the result of a 73% increase
in the average selling price of product sold along with a change in the mix of product sold
offsetting a 4.5% decrease in the volume of copper pounds of product sold. The 26% increase in net
sales in 2005 versus 2004 was primarily the result of a 28% increase in the average selling price
of product sold along with a slight change in the mix of product sold. The large increases in
average price in 2006 and 2005 were primarily driven by the increase in raw copper prices. Changes
in the mix of product sold also impacted the average prices to a lesser extent. Sales volume
increases are generally due to several factors, including increased customer acceptance and product
availability. Also in 2006, 2005 and 2004, the Company realized an increase in the spread between
the sales price of wire and the price of raw copper for the years as a whole, although the
quarterly spreads varied widely. This spread was high in the first quarter of 2004, with the
intense price competition in the building wire industry compressing the Company&#146;s spread during the
succeeding three quarters. This margin compression continued even further into the first five
months of 2005. The margins rebounded sharply in the second half of the year resulting in higher
spreads, particularly in the fourth quarter of 2005. Margins during 2006 were volatile. The first
quarter of 2006 had lower spreads. However, during the second quarter as copper ran to a record
high COMEX price of $4.07 on May&nbsp;23, 2006, spreads rose to a record high. Margins and spreads
slowly declined in the third quarter and then accelerated their decline in the fourth quarter of
2006.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">Cost of goods sold was $1.005&nbsp;billion in 2006, compared to $632.8&nbsp;million in 2005 and $506.8
million in 2004. Copper costs increased to $826.8&nbsp;million in 2006 from $486.1&nbsp;million in 2005 and
$370.1&nbsp;million in 2004. Copper costs as a percentage of net sales increased to 66.2% in 2006 from
64.2% in 2005 and 61.4% in 2004. The increase as a percentage of net sales was due to copper costs
rising more than other costs and more than the price of copper wire sold, in percentage terms as
discussed above. Other raw material costs as a percentage of net sales were 5.0%, 8.3% and 9.7%,
in 2006, 2005, and 2004, respectively. The decrease is due primarily to the Company&#146;s cost of
other raw materials per pound of copper sold increasing less than the price of copper wire sold.
Depreciation, labor and overhead costs as a percentage of net sales were 5.5% in 2006, compared to
8.1% in 2005 and 10.9% in 2004. The percentage decreases in 2006 and 2005 were due to these costs
containing significant fixed components versus the elastic nature of the price of copper wire sold.

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">Copper prices trended upward dramatically in the first half of 2006, particularly in the second
quarter and then slowly descended in the third quarter, accelerating their decrease in the fourth
quarter of 2006. However, the 2006&nbsp;year-end price of copper was still above the beginning of the
year price. As of December&nbsp;31, 2006, the value of all inventories using the LIFO method was less
than the FIFO value by $82.3&nbsp;million. This differential increased $45.8&nbsp;million versus the
December&nbsp;31, 2005 differential of $36.4&nbsp;million, resulting in a corresponding increase of $45.8
million in cost of goods sold for the year.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">Copper prices trended upward slowly in the first half of 2005, then accelerated their increase
during the remainder of 2005. As of December&nbsp;31, 2005, the value of all inventories using the LIFO
method was less than the FIFO value by $36.4&nbsp;million. This differential increased $21.8&nbsp;million
versus the December&nbsp;31, 2004 differential of $14.6&nbsp;million, resulting in a corresponding increase
of $21.8&nbsp;million in cost of goods sold for the year.

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">Copper prices trended upward in the first quarter of 2004, then traded in a more stable range
during the remainder of 2004. As of December&nbsp;31, 2004, the value of all inventories using the LIFO
method was less than the FIFO value by $14.6&nbsp;million. This differential increased $12.0&nbsp;million
versus the December&nbsp;31, 2003 differential of $2.6&nbsp;million, resulting in a corresponding increase of
$12.0&nbsp;million in cost of goods sold. Due to the management of inventory levels during the third
and fourth quarters of 2004, the Company liquidated the LIFO inventory layers established in 2003,
2002, 2001, 1999 and a portion of the inventory layer established in 1998. As a result, under the
LIFO method, these inventory layers were liquidated at historical costs that were less than current
costs, which favorably impacted cost of goods sold by $11.7&nbsp;million for the full year and net
income for the full year by $7.5&nbsp;million. As of December&nbsp;31, 2004, the LIFO cost basis of
inventory was less than the market value resulting in no lower of cost or market adjustment being
required.

16.5% of net sales in 2005 and from $96.4&nbsp;million, or 16.0% of net sales in 2004. The changes in
gross profit were due to the factors discussed above.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">Selling expenses, which include freight and sales commissions, were $51.2&nbsp;million in 2006, $38.5
million in 2005 and $34.4&nbsp;million in 2004. As a percentage of net sales, selling expenses dropped
to 4.1% in 2006, versus 5.1% in 2005 and 5.7% in 2004. The percentage drop in 2006 and 2005 was
due to freight expenses dropping in relation to sales, which increased dramatically in 2006 and
2005. General and administrative expenses, as a percentage of net sales, were 0.7% in 2006, 1.0%
in 2005 and 1.3% in 2004. In 2006 and 2005, general and administrative costs decreased as a
percent of net sales due to the semi-fixed nature of many of these costs.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">Interest expense increased to $7.7&nbsp;million in 2006 from $3.9&nbsp;million in 2005 and $2.9&nbsp;million in
2004. The increases in the last two years are due to the higher average debt levels in 2006 and
2005. The Company capitalized interest expense relating to the construction of assets in the
amounts of approximately $657,000 in 2006, $213,000 in 2005 and $165,000 in 2004.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">The Company&#146;s effective tax rate was 34.9% in 2006, 33.2% in 2005 and 35.6% in 2004. The decrease
in the effective tax rate in 2005 is primarily due to the Company adjusting deferred tax
liabilities by $0.8&nbsp;million in the first quarter, lower overall state tax expense and realizing an
approximate 1% reduction from the benefits of the American Jobs Creation of Act of 2004. The Jobs
Creation Act of 2004 also reduced the 2006 rate approximately 1.2% versus 2005 and a cumulative
2.24% from 2004.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">The American Jobs Creation Act of 2004 provides a deduction from income for qualified domestic
production activities that generally will be phased in from 2005 through 2010. Subsequently, the
Financial Accounting Standards Board (&#147;FASB&#148;) passed FSP FAS 109-1, which indicates that the
available qualified domestic production activity deduction will be treated as a &#147;special deduction&#148;
as described in SFAS No.&nbsp;109. Accordingly, the impact of any deductions is being reported in the
period for which the deduction will be claimed on the Company&#146;s tax return.

liquidity needs have generally consisted of operating capital necessary to finance 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.

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">The Company, through its indirectly wholly-owned subsidiary, Encore Wire Limited, a Texas limited
partnership (&#147;Encore Wire Limited&#148;), is party to a Financing Agreement with two banks, Bank of
America, N.A., as Agent, and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association (the &#147;Financing Agreement&#148;).
The Company is the guarantor of the indebtedness under the Financing Agreement. In 2006, the
Financing Agreement was amended twice. The Financing Agreement was first amended May&nbsp;16, 2006, to
expand the Company&#146;s line of credit from $85,000,000 to

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">$150,000,000, as disclosed in previous filings with the SEC. The Financing Agreement was amended a
second time on August&nbsp;31, 2006, to expand the Company&#146;s line of credit from $150,000,000 to
$200,000,000, as disclosed in previous filings with the SEC. The Financing Agreement, as amended,
extends through August&nbsp;27, 2009 and provides for maximum borrowings of the lesser of $200,000,000
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 December&nbsp;31, 2006, as computed under the Financing Agreement, as amended, was
$200,000,000.

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">Encore Wire Limited and the Company, through their agent bank, are also parties to a Note Purchase
Agreement (the &#147;2004 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, the &#147;2004 Purchasers&#148;), whereby Encore wire Limited issued
and sold $45,000,000 of 5.27% Senior Notes, Series&nbsp;2004-A, due August&nbsp;27, 2011 (the &#147;Fixed Rate
Senior Notes&#148;) to the 2004 Purchasers, the proceeds of which were used to repay a portion of the
Company&#146;s outstanding indebtedness under its previous financing agreement. Through its agent bank,
the Company is also a party to an interest rate swap agreement to convert the fixed rate on the
Fixed Rate Senior Notes to a variable rate based on LIBOR plus a fixed adder for the seven-year
duration of these notes. As of December&nbsp;31, 2006, the Company recorded a liability and a
corresponding unrealized reduction to notes payable on the balance sheet of $1,025,709 to account
for the fair value of the interest rate swap.

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">On September&nbsp;28, 2006, Encore Wire Limited and the Company, through its agent bank, entered into
another Note Purchase Agreement (the &#147;2006 Note Purchase Agreement&#148;) with Metropolitan Life
Insurance Company, Metlife Insurance Company of Connecticut and Great-West Life &#038; Annuity Insurance
Company, whereby Encore Wire Limited issued and sold $55,000,000 of Floating Rate Senior Notes,
Series&nbsp;2006-A, due September&nbsp;30, 2011 (the &#147;Floating Rate Senior Notes&#148;), the proceeds of which
were used to repay a portion of the Company&#146;s outstanding indebtedness under its Financing
Agreement.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">Obligations under the Financing Agreement, the Fixed Rate Senior Notes and the Floating Rate Senior
Notes are unsecured and contain customary covenants and events of default. The Company was in
compliance with these covenants as of December&nbsp;31, 2006. Under the Financing Agreement, the 2004
Note Purchase Agreement and the 2006 Note Purchase Agreement, the Company is allowed to pay cash
dividends. At December&nbsp;31, 2006, the total balance outstanding under the Financing Agreement, the
Fixed Rate Senior Notes and the Floating Rate Senior Notes was $100,000,000. Amounts outstanding
under the Financing Agreement are payable on August&nbsp;27, 2009, with interest payments due quarterly.
Interest payments on the Fixed Rate Senior Notes are due semi-annually, while interest payments on
the Floating Rate Senior Notes are due quarterly.

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">On November&nbsp;10, 2006, the Board of Directors of the Company approved a new stock repurchase program
covering the purchase of up to 1,000,000 additional shares of its common stock dependent upon
market conditions. Common stock purchases under this program were authorized through December&nbsp;31,
2007 on the open market or through privately negotiated transactions at prices determined by the
President of the Company. There were no repurchases of stock in 2004, 2005 or 2006. This new
stock repurchase plan replaces the prior stock repurchase plan.

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">Cash provided by operations was $14.3&nbsp;million in 2006 compared to cash used in operations of $5.0
million in 2005 and cash provided by operations of $24.9&nbsp;million in 2004. The increase in cash
flows provided in 2006 versus 2005 was due primarily to the $65.0&nbsp;million increase in net income
and a $23.5&nbsp;million positive swing in prepaid expenses offset by a $61.9&nbsp;million negative swing in
taxes receivable. The taxes receivable swing is due to the Company being required to make high
estimated tax payments to the I.R.S. based on the record earnings trend early in 2006. The Company
is now owed a $17.8&nbsp;million tax refund. The decrease in cash in 2005 was due primarily to a $56.5
million increase in accounts receivable and a $28.8&nbsp;million increase in inventories, offset by
$16.7&nbsp;million increase in net income, a $23.7&nbsp;million increase in taxes payable and a $7.8&nbsp;million
increase in accounts payable and accrued liabilities. The increases in cash required for accounts
receivable and inventories were primarily due to the rise in raw material prices during 2005 that
drove sales higher as discussed above, and in the case of inventories, an increase in the quantity
of inventory on hand at year-end. Increases in taxes payable and accounts payable are primarily
due to timing issues at year-end. In 2004 cash flow from operations was due primarily to a $19.0
million increase in net income, as well as a $20.2&nbsp;million decrease in inventory, offset by a $27.6
million increase in accounts receivable. Inventory quantities at December&nbsp;31, 2004 versus December
31, 2003 were cut in raw materials and finished goods, as the Company worked to increase inventory
turns while maintaining order fill rates. This was accomplished by pressuring suppliers to be more
responsive as well as utilizing the flexibility in receiving copper with the additional railroad
tracks and utilizing the flexibility of the new machinery put in service in the wire mills to
respond quickly to changes in product demand.

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">Cash used in investing activities increased to $22.1&nbsp;million in 2006 from $16.9&nbsp;million in 2005 and

During 2004, capital expenditures increased to expand the distribution center, expand railroad
access and selectively add machinery to address bottlenecks in the wire mills.

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">The cash provided by financing activities of $29.8&nbsp;million in 2006 was used primarily to fund
increased working capital requirements and capital expenditures as discussed above. The cash
provided by financing activities of $21.9&nbsp;million in 2005 was used primarily to fund capital
expenditures and increased working capital requirements. The relatively high level of capital
expenditures in 2004 was funded by the strong operating cash flow discussed above, which also
funded cash used in financing activities of $1.4&nbsp;million. Cash provided by financing activities
was increased by $0.7&nbsp;million in 2006, $0.5&nbsp;million in 2005 and $2.8&nbsp;million in 2004, as the result
of the issuance of common stock, primarily related to employee option exercises.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">During 2007, the Company expects its capital expenditures will consist of maintaining and adding
manufacturing equipment for its building wire operations as well as the
construction of the new office building. The Company also expects its working capital requirements
may increase during 2007 as a result of continued increases in sales and potential increases in the
price of copper. The Company believes that the cash flow from operations and the financing
available from its revolving credit facility will satisfy working capital and capital expenditure
requirements for the next twelve months.

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">Management&#146;s discussion and analysis of its financial condition and results of operations are based
upon the Company&#146;s consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with
accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. The preparation of these financial statements
requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the
financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
See Note 1 to the Consolidated Financial Statements. Management believes the following critical
accounting policies affect its more significant estimates and assumptions used in the preparation
of its consolidated financial statements.
</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 electrical 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 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 and finished
wire prices as of the end of each reporting period. As of December&nbsp;31, 2006, a $0.20 reduction in
the fair market value of copper per pound would not have resulted in any lower of cost or market
reserve for the year ended December&nbsp;31, 2006. However, larger decreases in copper prices could
necessitate establishing an LCM reserve in future periods. 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 at the different price.

interpretation of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No.&nbsp;109 (&#147;FIN 48&#148;). FIN 48 prescribes
a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and
measurement of tax positions taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. FIN 48 also provides
guidance on derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods,
disclosure, and transition. FIN 48 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December&nbsp;15, 2006.
The Company is currently evaluating the impact of FIN 48, but does not expect it to have a material
impact on its consolidated financial statements.

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">In September&nbsp;2006, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No.&nbsp;157, Fair Value
Measurements (&#147;SFAS No.&nbsp;157&#148;). This statement establishes a framework for fair value measurements
in the financial statements by providing a single definition of fair value, provides guidance on
the methods used to estimate fair value and increases disclosures about estimates of fair value.
SFAS No.&nbsp;157 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November&nbsp;15, 2007 and is generally
applied prospectively. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this statement on its
consolidated financial statements.

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">In September&nbsp;2006, the FASB issued FSPAUG AIR-1, Accounting for Planned Major Maintenance
Activities (FSPAUG AIR-1). This FSP addresses the planned major maintenance of assets and prohibits
the use of the &#147;accrue-in-advance&#148; method of accounting for these activities. This FSP is effective
for the first fiscal year beginning after December&nbsp;15, 2006. The Company is currently evaluating
the impact of this FSP, but does not expect it to have a material impact on its consolidated
financial statements.

</DIV>


<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">The Company does not engage in metal futures trading or hedging activities and does not enter into
derivative financial instrument transactions for trading or other speculative purposes. However,
the Company is generally exposed to commodity price and interest rate risks. In order to take
advantage of the relatively large difference between prevailing interest rates in 2004 and the
fixed rate on the Company&#146;s $45&nbsp;million seven-year notes, the Company entered into an interest rate
swap agreement on this fixed portion of its long-term debt. This arrangement was entered into to
float the interest rate on that portion of the debt until August&nbsp;2011.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">The Company purchases copper cathode primarily from producers and merchants at prices determined
each month based on the average daily COMEX closing prices for copper for that month, plus a
negotiated premium. As a result, fluctuations in copper prices caused by market forces can
significantly affect the Company&#146;s financial results.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">Interest rate risk is attributable to the Company&#146;s long-term debt. The Company and its wholly
owned subsidiaries are guarantors of the indebtedness under the Financing Agreement, the 2004 Note
Purchase Agreement and the 2006 Note Purchase Agreement. Amounts outstanding under the Financing
Agreement, as amended, are payable on August&nbsp;27, 2009, with interest payments due quarterly.
Amounts outstanding under the $45&nbsp;million 2004 Note Purchase Agreement are payable on August&nbsp;27,
2011, with interest only payments due semi-annually. Amounts outstanding under the $55&nbsp;million
2006 Note Purchase Agreement are payable on September&nbsp;30, 2011, with interest only payments due
quarterly. At December&nbsp;31, 2006, the balance outstanding under the Financing Agreement was zero
and the collective balance outstanding collectively under the 2004 and 2006 Note Purchase
Agreements was $100&nbsp;million, and the average interest rate was 6.65%. There is inherent rollover
risk for borrowings under the Financing Agreement as they mature and are renewed at current market
rates. The extent of this risk is not quantifiable or predictable because of the variability of
future interest rates and the Company&#146;s future financing requirements. Holding borrowing levels at
December&nbsp;31, 2006 constant, an average 1% interest rate increase in 2007 would increase interest
expense by $1,000,000.

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight
Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An
audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the
financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and
significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement
presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

respects, the consolidated financial position of Encore Wire Corporation at December&nbsp;31, 2006 and

in the period ended December&nbsp;31, 2006, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted

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


<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">The Company conducts its business in one segment &#151; the manufacture of copper electrical wire,
principally NM-B cable, for use primarily as interior wiring in homes, apartments, and manufactured
housing, and THWN-2 cable and armored cable for use primarily as wiring in commercial and
industrial buildings. The Company sells its products primarily through approximately 31
manufacturers&#146; representatives located throughout the United States and, to a lesser extent,
through its own direct marketing efforts. The principal customers for Encore&#146;s building wire are wholesale electrical distributors.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">Copper, a commodity product, is the principal raw material used in the Company&#146;s manufacturing
operations. Copper accounted for 82.3%, 76.8%, and 73.0% of its cost of goods sold during 2006,
2005, and 2004, respectively. The price of copper fluctuates, depending on general economic
conditions and in relation to supply and demand and other factors, and 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 on the cost of copper on the Company&#146;s future operating
results.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 12pt"><B>Principles of Consolidation</B>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned
subsidiary, Encore Wire Limited, a Texas limited partnership (&#147;Encore Wire Limited&#148;). Significant
intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated upon consolidation.

</DIV>


<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">In June&nbsp;2006, the FASB issued Interpretation No.&nbsp;48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income
Taxes, an interpretation of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No.&nbsp;109 (&#147;FIN 48&#148;). FIN 48
prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement
recognition and measurement of tax positions taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. FIN 48
also provides guidance on derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in
interim periods, disclosure, and transition. FIN 48 is effective for fiscal years beginning after
December&nbsp;15, 2006. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of FIN 48, but does not expect it
to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">In September&nbsp;2006, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No.&nbsp;157, Fair Value
Measurements (&#147;SFAS No.&nbsp;157&#148;). This statement establishes a framework for fair value measurements
in the financial statements by providing a single definition of fair value, provides guidance on
the methods used to estimate fair value and increases disclosures about estimates of fair value.
SFAS No.&nbsp;157 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November&nbsp;15, 2007 and is generally
applied prospectively. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this statement on its
consolidated financial statements.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">In September&nbsp;2006, the FASB issued FSPAUG AIR-1, Accounting for Planned Major Maintenance
Activities (FSPAUG AIR-1). This FSP addresses the planned major maintenance of assets and prohibits
the use of the &#147;accrue-in-advance&#148; method of accounting for these activities. This FSP is effective
for the first fiscal year beginning after December&nbsp;15, 2006. The Company is currently evaluating
the impact of this FSP, but does not expect it to have a material impact on its consolidated
financial statements.

</DIV>


<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting
principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported
in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those
estimates.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 12pt"><B>Revenue Recognition</B>
</DIV>


<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">Revenue from the sale of the Company&#146;s products is recognized when goods are shipped to the
customer, title and risk of loss are transferred, pricing is fixed or determinable and collection
is reasonably assured. A provision for payment discounts and customer rebates is estimated based
upon historical experience and other relevant factors and is recorded within the same period that
the revenue is recognized.
</DIV>

</DIV>


<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">The Company classifies shipping and handling costs as a component of selling, general and
administrative expenses. Shipping and handling costs were approximately $18.1&nbsp;million, $18.6
million, and $16.5&nbsp;million for the fiscal years ended December&nbsp;31, 2006, 2005 and 2004,
respectively.

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">Cash, accounts receivable, trade accounts payable, accrued liabilities, notes payable and other
long-term liabilities are stated at amounts which approximate fair value.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">Accounts receivable represent amounts due from customers (primarily wholesale electrical
distributors, manufactured housing suppliers and retail home improvement centers) related to the
sale of the Company&#146;s products. Such receivables are uncollateralized and are generally due from a
diverse group of customers located throughout the United States. The Company establishes an
allowance for losses based upon the makeup of the current portfolio, past bad debt experience and
current market conditions.

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">Prior to January&nbsp;1, 2006, the Company applied the disclosure-only provisions of Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No.&nbsp;123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation (&#147;SFAS 123&#148;). In

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 12pt"><B>1. Significant Accounting Policies (continued)</B>
</DIV>


<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">SFAS 123, the Company applied Accounting Principles Board Opinion No.&nbsp;25, Accounting for Stock
Issued to Employees (&#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), Share-Based Payment (&#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 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.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">The adoption of SFAS 123R reduced pre-tax income by $420,524, reduced net income by $273,340, and
did not appreciably impact basic and diluted earnings per common share for the year ended December
31, 2006. The Company also recognized $805,244 of excess tax benefits on stock based compensation
which have been included in cash flows from financing activities upon adoption of SFAS 123R.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">The following table illustrates the pro forma effect on net income and earnings per share for 2005
and 2004 as if the Company had applied the fair value recognition provisions of SFAS 123R to
stock-based employee compensation (in thousands, except for earnings per common share information):

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">The Company, through its indirectly wholly-owned subsidiary, Encore Wire Limited, a Texas limited
partnership (&#147;Encore Wire Limited&#148;), is party to a Financing Agreement with two banks, Bank of
America, N.A., as Agent, and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association (the &#147;Financing Agreement&#148;).
The Company is the guarantor of the indebtedness under the Financing Agreement. In 2006, the
Financing Agreement was amended twice. The Financing Agreement was first 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 previous
filings with the SEC. The Financing Agreement was amended a second time on August&nbsp;31, 2006, to
expand the Company&#146;s line of credit from $150,000,000 to $200,000,000, as disclosed in previous
filings with the SEC. The Financing Agreement, as amended, extends through August&nbsp;27, 2009, and
provides for maximum borrowings of the lesser of $200,000,000 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 December&nbsp;31, 2006,
as computed under the Financing Agreement, as amended, was $200,000,000. Borrowings under the line
of credit bear interest, at the Company&#146;s option at either (1)&nbsp;LIBOR plus a margin that varies from
0.875% to 1.75% depending upon the ratio of debt outstanding to adjusted earnings or (2)&nbsp;the base
rate (which is the higher of the federal funds rate plus 0.5% or the prime rate) plus 0% to 0.25%.
A commitment fee ranging from 0.20% to 0.375% (depending upon the ratio of debt outstanding to
adjusted earnings) is payable on the unused line of credit.

Fixed Rate Senior Notes to a variable rate based on LIBOR plus a fixed adder for the seven-year
duration of these notes. As of December&nbsp;31, 2006, the Company recorded a liability and a
corresponding unrealized reduction to notes payable on the balance sheet of $1,025,709 to account
for the fair value of the interest rate swap.

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">In October&nbsp;2004, the American Jobs Creation Act of 2004 (&#147;the Act&#148;) was passed, which provides a
deduction for income from qualified domestic production activities which generally will be phased
in from 2005 through 2010. Subsequently, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (&#147;FASB&#148;) passed
FSP FAS 109-1, which indicates that the available qualified domestic production activity deduction
will be treated as a &#147;special deduction&#148; as described in SFAS No.&nbsp;109. This deduction lowered the
Company&#146;s effective tax rate by $1,867,862, or approximately 1.2%, for 2006.

Based on an evaluation of the Company&#146;s disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is defined

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">Management of the Company is responsible for establishing and maintaining effective internal
control over financial reporting as defined in Rule&nbsp;13a-15(f) under the Securities Exchange Act of
1934.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or
detect misstatements. Projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject
to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the
degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate. All internal control
systems, no matter how well designed, have inherent limitations. Therefore, even those systems
determined to be effective can provide only reasonable assurance with respect to financial
statement preparation and presentation.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">Management assessed the effectiveness of the Company&#146;s internal control over financial reporting as
of December&nbsp;31, 2006. In making this assessment, management used the criteria set forth by the
Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO)&nbsp;in <I>Internal Control &#151;
Integrated Framework. </I>Based on our assessment, we believe that, as of December&nbsp;31, 2006, the
Company&#146;s internal control over financial reporting is effective based on those criteria.

Encore Wire Corporation
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">We have audited management&#146;s assessment, included in the accompanying Management&#146;s Report on
Internal Control over Financial Reporting, that Encore Wire Corporation maintained effective
internal control over financial reporting as of December&nbsp;31, 2006, based on criteria established in
<I>Internal Control&#151;Integrated Framework </I>issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the
Treadway Commission (the COSO criteria). Encore Wire Corporation&#146;s management is responsible for
maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting and for its assessment of the
effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting. Our responsibility is to express an
opinion on management&#146;s assessment and an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company&#146;s internal
control over financial reporting based on our audit.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight
Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether effective internal control over financial reporting was
maintained in all material respects. Our audit included obtaining an understanding of internal
control over financial reporting, evaluating management&#146;s assessment, testing and evaluating the
design and operating effectiveness of internal control, and performing such other procedures as we
considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis
for our opinion.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">A company&#146;s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable
assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial
statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A
company&#146;s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1)
pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the
transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2)&nbsp;provide reasonable assurance that
transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance
with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company
are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company;
and (3)&nbsp;provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized
acquisition, use, or disposition of the company&#146;s assets that could have a material effect on the
financial statements.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or
detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are
subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that
the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">In our opinion, management&#146;s assessment that Encore Wire Corporation maintained effective internal
control over financial reporting as of December&nbsp;31, 2006, is fairly stated, in all material
respects, based on the COSO criteria. Also, in our opinion, Encore Wire Corporation maintained, in
all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of December&nbsp;31, 2006,
based on the COSO criteria<B>.</B>
</DIV>



<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight
Board (United States), the consolidated balance sheets of Encore Wire Corporation as of December
31, 2006 and 2005 and the related consolidated statements of income, stockholders&#146; equity and cash
flows for each of the three years in the period ended December&nbsp;31, 2006. Our report dated March&nbsp;7,
