</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, 2006.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">Certain reclassifications have been made to prior periods&#146; financial statements to conform to the
current presentation.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">Effective
January&nbsp;1, 2007, the Company adopted FASB Interpretation
No.&nbsp;48, &#147;Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes &#151;
an interpretation of FASB Statement No.&nbsp;109&#148;
(&#147;FIN&nbsp;48&#148;), which clarifies the accounting and
disclosure for uncertainty in tax positions. The Company's federal
income tax returns for the years subsequent to December&nbsp;31, 2003
remain subject to examination. The Company's income tax returns in
major state income tax jurisdictions remain subject to examination
for various periods subsequent to December&nbsp;31, 2002. The Company
has no reserves for uncertain tax positions and no adjustments were
required upon adoption of FIN&nbsp;48. Furthermore, the Company is
not aware of any anticipated transactions or tax positions in the
foreseeable future that would create a need to establish a reserve
for any uncertain tax positions. Interest and penalties resulting
from audits by tax authorities have been immaterial and are included
in the provision for income taxes in the consolidated statements of
income.</DIV>

</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">The Company 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 primary
obligor 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 June&nbsp;30, 2007, 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% (depending upon the ratio of debt
outstanding to adjusted earnings). 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.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">The Company, through its agent bank, is also a party to a Note Purchase Agreement (the &#147;2004 Note
Purchase Agreement&#148;) 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 the Company 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 June&nbsp;30, 2007, the Company recorded a liability and a corresponding unrealized reduction to
notes payable on the balance sheet of $1.6&nbsp;million to account for the fair value of the interest
rate swap.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">On September&nbsp;28, 2006, the Company, through its agent bank, entered into a second 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 the
Company 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 June&nbsp;30, 2007. Under the Financing Agreement, the 2004 Note
Purchase Agreement and the 2006 Note Purchase Agreement, the Company is allowed to pay cash
dividends. At June&nbsp;30, 2007, the total balance outstanding under the Financing Agreement, the

<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.

Copper accounted for approximately 82.3%, 76.8% and 73.0% of the Company&#146;s cost of goods sold
during fiscal 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, which has
caused monthly variations in the cost of copper purchased by the Company. The Company cannot
predict future copper prices 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 quarterly and six-month periods ended June&nbsp;30, 2007 and 2006. Reference
should also be made to the audited financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company&#146;s

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">Effective June&nbsp;30, 2007, the Company consummated a reorganization in order to merge the operations
of its indirectly wholly-owned subsidiary, Encore Wire Limited, a Texas limited partnership, into
the Company and reorganize the Company as an operating company. The reorganization simplified the
Company&#146;s corporate structure and was accomplished by a series of tax-free merger transactions. As
a part of the reorganization, the Company became the primary obligor of the indebtedness under the
Financing Agreement, the 2004 Note Purchase Agreement and the 2006 Note Purchase Agreement referred
to in &#147;Liquidity and Capital Resources&#148;, below. The Company entered into amendments to each of
such agreements and issued new notes to the banks and note holders.

</DIV>
<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">Net sales for the second quarter of 2007 amounted to $333.6&nbsp;million compared with net sales of
$362.0&nbsp;million for the second quarter of 2006. This dollar decrease was primarily the result of a
13.6% decrease in the average price of wire sold, partially offset by a 6.7% increase in unit
volume of wire shipped measured in pounds of copper contained in the wire sold. The average cost
per pound of raw copper purchased increased 6.6% in the second quarter of 2007 compared to the
second quarter of 2006. These factors resulted in decreased gross margins in the second quarter of
2007 versus the second quarter of 2006. Fluctuations in sales prices are primarily a result of
changing copper raw material prices and product price competition.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">Cost of goods sold increased to $286.1&nbsp;million, or 85.7% of net sales, in the second quarter of
2007, compared to $255.2&nbsp;million, or 70.5% of net sales, in the second quarter of 2006. Gross
profit decreased to $47.6&nbsp;million, or 14.3% of net sales, in the second quarter of 2007 versus
$106.9&nbsp;million, or 29.5% of net sales, in the second quarter of 2006. The decreased gross profit
and gross margin percentages were primarily the result of industry wide pricing trends that
decreased the spread between the selling price of copper wire and the purchase cost of raw copper.
Management believes that margins were driven lower partially due to the slowdown in residential
construction in the United States, which spawned price-cutting by certain competitors.

<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, partially offset by a decrease in the amount of inventory
on hand during the second quarter 2007, a LIFO adjustment was recorded, increasing cost of sales by
$24.5&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 align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">Selling expenses for the second quarter of 2007 were $14.2&nbsp;million, or 4.3% of net sales, compared
to $14.2&nbsp;million, or 3.9% of net sales, for the second quarter of 2006. The percentage increase
was due to the increase in freight costs as a percentage of net sales, driven by the decrease 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 were
virtually flat at $2.6&nbsp;million and 0.8% of net sales, in the second quarter of 2007 compared to
$2.5&nbsp;million, or 0.7% of net sales, in the second quarter of 2006. The general and administrative
costs are semi-fixed by nature and therefore do not fluctuate proportionately with sales. The
provision for bad debts was $30,000 and $45,000 in the second quarter of 2007 and 2006,
respectively.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">Net interest and other income and expense were $1.2&nbsp;million in the second quarter of 2007 compared
to $1.9&nbsp;million in the second quarter of 2006. The decrease was due primarily to lower average
debt balances during the second quarter of 2007 than during the comparable period in 2006. Taxes
were accrued at an effective rate of 33.4% in the second quarter of 2007 consistent with the
Company&#146;s estimated liabilities. This rate declined from 35.3% in the second quarter of 2006
primarily due to benefits realized from the Jobs Creation Act which lowers federal tax rates for
domestic manufacturing companies.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">As a result of the foregoing factors, the Company&#146;s net income decreased to $19.7&nbsp;million in the

<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">The Company 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 primary
obligor 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 June&nbsp;30, 2007, as computed under the Financing
Agreement, as amended, was $200,000,000.

(collectively, the &#147;2004 Purchasers&#148;), whereby the Company 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

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 June&nbsp;30, 2007, the Company recorded a liability and a corresponding unrealized reduction to

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. Obligations under the Financing Agreement, the
2004 Note Purchase Agreement and the 2006 Note Purchase Agreement are the only contractual
obligations or commercial borrowing commitments of the Company.

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">Cash provided by operations was $36.3&nbsp;million in the first six months of 2007 compared to $69.3
million of cash used by operations in the first six months of 2006. The increase in cash provided
by operations resulted primarily from the much smaller increase in accounts receivable of $20.9
million in the first six months of 2007 versus an increase of $106.4&nbsp;million in 2006 along with an
increase in inventory of $13.8&nbsp;million in 2007 versus an increase of $66.2&nbsp;million in 2006, offset
by the $47.0&nbsp;million decrease in net income in the first six months of 2007 versus the first six
months of 2006. The large increases in accounts receivable and inventory in 2006 were primarily
the result of the significant increases in copper prices in 2006 versus 2005. In 2006, 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 decreased
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 decreased to $11.8&nbsp;million in the first six months of 2007 from
$15.4&nbsp;million in the first six months of 2006. 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. In 2007, the funds were primarily used to construct a new office building. The $306
thousand used in and the $84.9&nbsp;million of cash provided by financing activities in the first six
months of 2007 and 2006, respectively, were a result of the Company&#146;s decrease in 2007 and increase
in 2006 of the outstanding bank revolving debt, which is used primarily to fund the Company&#146;s
working capital requirements as discussed above.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">During the remainder of 2007, the Company expects its capital expenditures will consist primarily
of the completion of the new office building as well as additional plant and equipment for its
building wire operations. The total capital expenditures for all of 2007 associated with these
projects are currently estimated to be in the $20.0 to $23.0&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 Financing
Agreement will satisfy working capital and capital expenditure requirements during 2007.

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Reference is made to the Master Note Purchase Agreement dated as of September&nbsp;28, 2006 (the
