Certain of the matters discussed in this report, including, without limitation, matters discussed under Item 2, Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, may constitute
forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Certain of these forward-looking statements can be identified by the use of forward-looking terminology such as
believes, expects, may, will, should, seeks, approximately, intends, plans, estimates, or anticipates or the negative
of these terms or other comparable terminology, or by discussions of strategy, plans or intention. Statements contained in this report that are not historical facts are forward-looking statements. Without limiting the generality of the preceding
statement, all statements in this report concerning or relating to estimated and projected earnings, margins, costs, expenditures, cash flows, growth rates and financial results are forward-looking statements. In addition, through the Companys
senior management, forward-looking statements are made concerning expected future operations, performance and other developments. Such forward-looking statements are necessary estimates reflecting managements best judgment based upon current
information and involve a number of risks and uncertainties. Other factors may affect the accuracy of these forward-looking statements and actual results may differ materially from the results anticipated in these forward-looking statements. While
it is impossible to identify all such factors, factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those estimated include, but are not limited to, those factors or conditions described under Item 2, Managements

Wise Metals Group LLC

June 30, 2008

(Unaudited)

(Dollars in thousands)

1. Organization and Basis of Presentation

Wise Metals Group LLC is a holding company formed for the purpose of managing the operations of Wise Alloys LLC, Wise Recycling LLC and Listerhill Total Maintenance
Company LLC (collectively, the Company). Wise Alloys LLC (Alloys) manufactures and sells aluminum can stock and related aluminum products primarily to aluminum can producers. Wise Recycling LLC is engaged in the recycling and sale of scrap aluminum
and other non-ferrous metals. Listerhill Total Maintenance Company LLC (TMC) specializes in providing maintenance, repairs and fabrication to manufacturing and industrial plants all over the world ranging from small onsite repairs to complete
turn-key maintenance.

2. Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements are presented in accordance with generally
accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and with the requirements of Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all the disclosures normally required by accounting principles generally
accepted in the United States of America for complete financial statements. The condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the Companys customary accounting practices and, in the opinion of management,
all adjustments necessary to fairly present the financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the reported interim periods have been made and were of a normal recurring nature. Operating results for the three and six month periods
ended June 30, 2008 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2008. For further information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and Notes included in the Companys
Annual Report on Form 10-K, for the year ended December 31, 2007, filed May 7, 2008. The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Wise Metals Group LLC and its subsidiaries. Intercompany transactions
have been eliminated in consolidation.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents include all highly liquid investments with a maturity date of three months or less when purchased. Included in accounts payable were book overdraft amounts of $7,075 and $4,329 at
June 30, 2008 and December 31, 2007, respectively.

Broker Deposits

Broker deposits generally consist of cash on deposit with brokers to support lines of credit associated with the Companys derivative and hedging activity. At June 30, 2008 and December 31, 2007
substantially all broker deposits were on deposit with brokers associated with derivative and hedging activity as more fully described below. Broker deposits also include restricted cash of $250 with financial institutions.

Derivatives and Hedging Activity

The Company has entered into
long-term contracts to supply can sheet to its largest customers. To reduce the risk of changing prices for purchases and sales of metal, including firm commitments under these supply contracts, the Company uses commodity futures and option
contracts. In addition, the Company uses natural gas futures and option contracts.

Under Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Statement
of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 133 (SFAS No. 133), Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activity companies are required to recognize all derivative instruments as either assets or
liabilities on the balance

sheet at fair value. Derivatives that are not hedges must be adjusted to fair value through the statement of operations. The Company has elected not to
designate any of its derivative instruments as hedges under SFAS No. 133.

A summary of the fair value of the Companys derivative instruments is
as follows:

In connection with the Companys futures activity, the Company maintains lines of credit with brokers to
cover unrealized losses on futures contracts and uses options to manage price exposure with respect to firm commitments to purchase or sell aluminum.

Inventories, net

The Company uses the last-in, first-out (LIFO) method of accounting for the manufacturing inventories. Supplies inventory
is valued on an average cost basis. Inventories maintained by Recycling that consist solely of raw materials are valued on a first-in, first-out (FIFO) basis.

Long-Lived Assets

The Company continually evaluates whether events and circumstances have occurred that indicate the remaining estimated
useful life of long-lived assets may warrant revision or that the remaining balance may not be recoverable. These factors may include a significant deterioration of operating results, changes in business plans, or changes in anticipated cash flows.
When factors indicate that an asset should be evaluated for possible impairment, the Company reviews long-lived assets to assess recoverability from future operations using undiscounted cash flows. Impairments are recognized in earnings to the
extent that the carrying value exceeds fair value

New Accounting Pronouncements

In March 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 161, Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activitiesan amendment of FASB Statement No. 133 (SFAS 161). SFAS 161 changes the
disclosure requirements for derivative instruments and hedging activities. The standard is effective for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after November 15, 2008. We are evaluating any potential impact of the adoption of SFAS 161 on
our financial statements.

In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 160, Noncontrolling Interest in Consolidated Financial Statements, an
amendment of Accounting Research Bulletin No. 51, Consolidated Financial Statements(SFAS 160). SFAS 160 establishes accounting and reporting standards for ownership interests in subsidiaries held by parties other than the
parent, the amount of consolidated net income (loss) attributable to the parent and to the noncontrolling interest, changes in a parents ownership interest and the valuation of retained noncontrolling equity investments when a subsidiary is
deconsolidated. SFAS 160 also establishes reporting requirements that identify and distinguish between the interest of the parent and the interest of the noncontrolling owners. SFAS 160 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15,
2008. We are evaluating any potential impact of the adoption of SFAS 160 on our financial statements.

In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141
(revised 2007), Business Combinations (SFAS 141(R)), which replaces SFAS No. 141, Business Combinations (SFAS 141). SFAS 141(R) retains the underlying concepts of SFAS 141 in that all business
combinations are still required to be accounted for at fair value under the acquisition method of accounting but SFAS 141(R) changed the method of applying the acquisition method in a number of significant aspects. Acquisition costs will generally
be expensed as incurred; noncontrolling interests will be valued at fair value at the acquisition date; in-process research and development will be recorded at fair value as an indefinite-lived intangible asset at the acquisition date; restructuring
costs associated with a business combination will generally be expensed subsequent to the acquisition date; and changes in deferred tax asset valuation allowances and income tax uncertainties after the acquisition date generally will affect income
tax expense. SFAS 141(R) is effective on a prospective basis for all business combinations for which the acquisition date is on or after the beginning of the first annual period subsequent to December 15, 2008, with the exception of the
accounting for valuation allowances on deferred taxes and acquired tax contingencies. SFAS 141(R) amends SFAS No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes, such that adjustments made to valuation allowances on deferred taxes and acquired
tax contingencies associated with acquisitions that closed prior to the effective date of SFAS 141(R) would also apply the provisions of SFAS 141(R). Early adoption is not permitted. We are evaluating any potential impact of the adoption of SFAS 141
(R) on our financial statements.

In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159 (SFAS No. 159), The Fair Value Option for
Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities, which provides companies with an option to report selected financial assets and liabilities at fair value. The new statement establishes presentation and disclosure requirements designed to facilitate
comparisons between companies that choose different measurement attributes for similar types of assets and liabilities and requires companies to provide additional information that will help investors and other users of financial statements to more
easily understand the effect of a companys choice to use fair value on its earnings. The new statement also requires entities to display the fair value of those assets and liabilities for which the company has chosen to use fair value on the
face of the balance sheet. SFAS No. 159 does not eliminate disclosure requirements included in other accounting standards, including requirements for disclosures about fair value measurements included in SFAS No. 157, Fair Value
Measurements, and FASB SFAS No. 107, Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments. SFAS No. 159 is effective as of the beginning of an entitys first fiscal year beginning after November 15, 2007. Early
adoption is permitted as of the beginning of the previous fiscal year provided that the entity makes that choice in the first 120 days of that fiscal year and also elects to apply the provisions of SFAS No. 157. The Company did not adopt the
optional provisions of this statement.

In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, Fair Value Measurements (SFAS 157),
effective January 1, 2008, which defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. Issued in February 2008,
FASB Staff Positions (FSP) 157-1 Application of FASB Statement No. 157 to FASB Statement No. 13 and Other Accounting Pronouncements That Address Fair Value Measurements for Purposes of Lease Classification or Measurement
under Statement 13 removed leasing transactions accounted for under Statement 13 and related guidance from the scope of SFAS No. 157. FSP 157-2 Partial Deferral of the Effective Date of Statement 157 (FSP 157-2), deferred the
effective date of SFAS No. 157 for all nonfinancial assets and nonfinancial liabilities to fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2008. We are evaluating any potential impact of the adoption of SFAS No. 157 for nonfinancial assets
and nonfinancial liabilities on our financial statements.

The Company has adopted SFAS No. 157 as of January 1, 2008 related to the financial assets and financial
liabilities. Non-financial assets and non-financial liabilities include those measured at fair value in those assets and liabilities initially measured at fair value in business combination.

SFAS No. 157 defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market
participants at the measurement date (exit price). SFAS No. 157 classifies the inputs used to measure fair value into the following hierarchy:

Level 1
- inputs to the valuation methodology are quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets.

Level 2 - inputs to the
valuation methodology include quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets, and inputs that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the financial instrument.

Level 3 - inputs to the valuation methodology are unobservable and significant to the fair market measurement.

The Company endeavors to utilize the best available information in measuring fair value. Financial assets and liabilities are classified in their entirety based on the
lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The following table sets forth the Companys financial assets and liabilities that were accounted for, at fair value on a recurring basis as of June 30, 2008 and the
level in the fair value hierarchy:

The Companys derivative financial assets and liabilities have historically been aluminum and natural gas
forward contracts, and aluminum option contracts. As of June 30, 2008, we had no natural gas forward contracts.

Aluminum futures contracts are fair
valued using market prices as published by the London Metal Exchange, which is an active market (Level 1). Aluminum option contracts are valued using a Black Scholes model with observable market inputs for aluminum and interest rates (Level 2).

Manufacturing inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market based on the last-in, first-out (LIFO) method.
If the first-in, first-out (FIFO) method had been used at June 30, 2008, inventories would have been approximately $77,654 higher and at December 31, 2007, inventories would have been approximately $60,154 higher. The Company has
recognized a $17.5 million increase to the LIFO reserve which represents approximately 50% of the expected reserve adjustment at December 31, 2008 based on managements expectation of year end inventory levels and cost. An actual valuation
of inventory under the LIFO method can be made only at the end of each year based on the inventory levels and costs at that time. Interim LIFO calculations must necessarily be based on managements estimates of expected year-end inventory
levels and costs dependent upon prevailing aluminum costs and other factors which are beyond managements control. Accordingly, managements estimates of the effects of LIFO calculations on inventories and costs of sales are subject to
change prior to the year-end calculation.

Revolving and secured credit facility

The total available credit under the revolving credit facility is $278 million which represents the Companys primary source of liquidity for working capital needs. At June 30, 2008, the Company had drawn
$239.6 million on this facility. Available borrowings under the revolving credit agreement at June 30, 2008 were $7.3 million. In addition, the Company had approximately $1.3 million of outstanding letters of credit against our $278 million
revolving credit line. The facility is due to expire on May 5, 2010. The facility is considered short term due to the use of a lockbox as well as material adverse effect language within the agreement. The Companys ability to borrow the
full available amount of the credit facility is limited by the available borrowing base under the revolving credit facility as determined based on a borrowing base formula which relates to the collateral value of trade receivables and inventory on a
basis approximating the lower of current cost (on a first-in first-out or FIFO basis) or fair market value. This borrowing base is then compared to the outstanding loan balance (including outstanding letters of credit) to determine a net amount
available for additional borrowings (Availability).

---

On April 25, 2008, the Company entered into an Amendment No. 13 to its revolving credit
facility (Amendment No. 13) to increase the maximum credit under the loan from $207.5 million to $278 million with a Company option to increase the line to $300 million. Under Amendment No. 13, the applicable interest rates for
the loan will range either from 0.50% - 1.00% over the prime interest rate or 2.75% - 3.25% over the LIBOR rate, and will be based upon the EBITDA (defined as earnings before income taxes, interest expense and fees, net, and depreciation and
amortization, adjusted to exclude early extinguishment of debt, income from affiliate, nonrecurring charges, severance charges and credits, LIFO adjustments, cumulative effect of change in accounting principle and mark-to-market adjustment for
contracts under SFAS No. 133) of the Company for the immediately preceding two (2), three (3) or four (4) fiscal quarter periods. To accommodate the increased maximum credit, certain sub-limits in the revolving credit facility related
to working capital levels have been increased. The term of the credit facility has also been extended from May 5, 2009 to May 5, 2010. Additionally, breach of the covenant requiring that the Company furnish to the Agent under the loan
agreement audited and unaudited consolidated financial statements of the Company and its subsidiaries within ninety days of the end of the fiscal year ended December 31, 2007 was waived. The prime rate at June 30, 2008 was 5.00% and LIBOR
was 3.31%.

Senior notes

Effective
May 5, 2004, the Company issued $150 million of 10.25% senior notes due 2012. Interest is payable bi-annually on May 15 and November 15. Total financing costs associated with the issuance of the senior notes were $8.2 million and are
included on the balance sheet as other long term assets. These notes are collateralized by a primary interest in the fixed assets of the Company with the exception of certain Permitted Indebtedness within the indenture agreement. Additionally, they
are collateralized by a secondary interest in the Companys working capital.

Wise Metals Group LLC and Wise Alloys Finance Corporation are co-issuers
of the senior notes. Wise Alloys Finance Corporation is an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of Wise Metals Group LLC. Wise Metals Group LLC has no independent assets or operations. The senior notes are guaranteed by all Wise Metals Group LLC
subsidiaries, other than Wise Alloys Finance Corporation, which are all 100% owned, and the guarantees are full and unconditional and joint and several. The Company currently does not have any direct or indirect non-guarantor subsidiaries. All
consolidated amounts in Wise Metals Group LLCs financial statements would be representative of the combined guarantors.

Other
notes payable and capital lease obligations

As part of the April 25, 2008 amendment to the revolving credit facility, the RSA, an equity owner of
the Company, has agreed to participate in the revolving credit facility as a pari passu lender with a total commitment of $96 million. As consideration for the RSAs participation in the credit facility, the Company and the RSA agreed to enter
into an amendment to the existing master equipment lease to increase the amount available under the lease by $4 million and increase the interest rate under the lease from 10.7% to 13.7%. The master equipment lease, as amended, now expires
May 5, 2010. In addition, the Company and the RSA entered into a fee letter agreement which requires the Company to pay the RSA certain deferred fees which, in conjunction with the increased interest rate under the amended master equipment
lease, will ensure that the rate of return for the amount outstanding under the RSA commitment equals, but does not exceed 8.5%. The requirement to pay these deferred fees will be assessed on a monthly basis.

Effective April 10, 2008, the Company executed an asset sale agreement with a financial institution that allowed the Company to sell certain accounts receivable up
to $15 million on a non-recourse basis. On April 18, 2008, the facility was further increased to $25 million. This agreement expired on April 30, 2008. As of June 30, 2008 there were no receivables outstanding under this agreement.

5. Pension and Post-Retirement Benefits

Effective April 1, 1999, the Company established a defined benefit pension plan that covers essentially all union employees. The plan provides certain levels of benefits based on years of service and wage levels,
but does not provide benefits for any prior service. In addition, defined contribution plans for both union and nonunion employees were established. In 2008, the Company expects to make cash contributions of approximately $2,832 to its defined
benefit pension plan. The amounts principally represent contributions required by funding regulations and in addition the Company expects to fund benefits paid under its post retirement benefit plans during 2008.

In 2003, the Company established negotiated defined contributions for certain union employees to multi-employer union pension plans. This was done in exchange for
freezing service time and pension factor in the aforementioned defined benefit plan as of the first quarter of 2004 and eliminating post-retirement benefits for affected employees.

The Company also established post-retirement benefit plans for all hourly and salaried employees effective April 1, 1999. The union employees who become eligible to retire under the defined benefit plan, and are
not a part of the unions that have elected the multi-employer option, will retain health benefits and certain other benefits for life. Salaried employees who retire after age 60 with a combined 10 years service with Wise Alloys LLC and the previous
owner of the Wise Alloys facilities will be eligible for medical benefits until age 65. The union contract ended on October 31, 2007. On November 1, 2007, the Company outsourced its maintenance function to ABB, an international company
specializing in maintenance in a manufacturing environment. This resulted in a reduction of Wise employees. This event was treated as a curtailment.

The
Company reached agreement with the labor unions at the Alloys facility resulting in a new 5-year contract beginning November 1, 2007. As part of the agreement the unions pension benefits will now be provided through multi-employer funds
administered through the Steelworkers Pension Trust, the Central Pension Fund and the Tri-State Carpenters Fund. The Wise defined benefit pension plan was frozen as of the date of the new contract. The new agreement resulted in the Company
recognizing a net curtailment gain of $9.0 million. In addition, as a result of the curtailment during the fourth quarter of 2007, there was a $4,180 unrealized gain as of December 31, 2007.

During the first quarter of 2008, the Company elected to make a change in the manner in which it recognizes unrealized gains or losses associated with its benefit plans.
Specifically, the accounting changed from the standard recognition methodology under FAS 106 and FAS 87, which is recognizing the net gain or loss that exceeds 10 percent of the greater of the accumulated postretirement benefit obligation or the
market-related value of plan assets, to a methodology of fully recognizing any gain or loss in excess of 45% of the greater of (1) Accumulated Post-Retirement Benefit Obligation (APBO) and (2) market value of assets
(MVA) and recognizing any gain or loss between 10% - 45% of the greater of (1) APBO and (2) MVA over the remaining service period. The Company made this change because the immediate recognition of the unrecognized gain appears
to more closely resemble the actuarial equivalent of what will ultimately be paid/expensed in future periods.

As a result of the change, $3,178 of the
$4,180 unrealized gain was recognized in the statement of operations in cost of sales and $531 was an adjustment to retained earnings in the first quarter of 2008 in connection with the adoption of the one measurement approach described
below. The Company also considered the impact of the accounting change on prior years and noted that there was no impact that would require retrospective adjustment of prior years financial statements.

Effective January 1, 2008, the Company adopted the provision of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 158, Employers Accounting for
Defined Benefit Pension and Other Postretirement Plans (SFAS No. 158) to measure defined benefit plan assets and obligations as of the date of the employers fiscal year end using the one measurement approach. Under the one
measurement approach, the Company will change the measurement date of recognizing plan assets and obligations from October 31 to December 31 for the pension and other postretirement benefit plans. Under the one measurement approach, net
periodic benefit cost for the period between any early measurement date and the end of the fiscal year that the measurement provisions are applied are allocated proportionately between amounts to be recognized as an adjustment of retained earnings
and net periodic benefit cost for the fiscal year. As a result of the change

in measurement dates for the other post retirement salaried plan, $34 was an adjustment to retained earnings at the beginning of the year (in addition to the
$531 adjustment related to the changes noted above).

The Companys funding policy for these plans is to contribute negotiated amounts to the
multi-employer funds and amounts necessary to meet minimum funding requirements of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act for the defined benefit plans but not to exceed the maximum deductible amount allowed by the Internal Revenue Code. The
Company contributed $1,867 to the multi-employer plans during 2007.

The 2008 and 2007 amounts shown below reflect the defined benefit pension and other
postretirement benefit expense for the three and six month periods ended June 30 for each year:

6. Redeemable Preferred Membership Interest

On October 4, 2007, the Company reached agreement with the Retirement Systems of Alabama (RSA) in which the RSA agreed to purchase $75 million of cumulative-convertible 10 percent PIK preferred
membership interests of the Company. The preferred interest is convertible into 25 percent of the common interest of the Company. The Company has the right to call the preferred membership interest after seven years at the cost of the greater of the
investment plus any accrued PIK dividends or the fair market value of the preferred interest on an as converted basis.

In conjunction with the
transaction, deferred financing fees were incurred in the amount of $1,083 of which the amortization of those fees was $54 and $108 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2008. As of June 30, 2008, total accumulated PIK interest on
the $75 million cumulative-convertible preferred membership interest was $5,625. Unamortized deferred financing fees in the amount of $939 are included as an offset to the total liquidation preference of $75 million preferred membership interest and
$5,625 of accumulated PIK interest classified as mezzanine equity on the balance sheet.

Total liquidation preference as of June 30, 2008 is
$80,625 and total accretion of redeemable preferred membership interest for the three and six months ended June 30, 2008 is $1,929 and $3,858, respectively, which would increase the net loss attributable to members. In the event of any liquidation,
dissolution or winding up of the Company, the preferred members are entitled to receive distributions before any distributions to the members.

Commitments and Contingencies

The Company is a defendant in an action brought by Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner & Smith Incorporated pending in
the New York Supreme Court, County of New York. In this action, Merrill Lynch seeks $0.9 million for out-of-pocket costs and expenses allegedly incurred pursuant to a letter agreement between Wise Metals and Merrill Lynch dated January 31,
2002, in which Merrill Lynch alleges that Wise Metals agreed to reimburse Merrill Lynch for such costs and expenses. Wise Metals has hired counsel and is vigorously contesting this lawsuit and believes it has meritorious defenses. Wise Metals has
filed an answer to the complaint denying the material allegations and alleging several affirmative defenses and counterclaims which exceed in amount the sum sought by Merrill Lynch. Merrill Lynch moved to dismiss



14



---

the Wise Metals counterclaims and by an order dated December 30, 2004, the Court granted this motion, dismissed the counterclaims and permitted
Wise Metals to replead two of the counterclaims. Wise Metals appealed, which resulted in a reversal reinstating the dismissed counterclaims. Merrill Lynch has replied to the counterclaims. The action is proceeding and is presently in the discovery
stages. The Company believes that it is not currently possible to estimate the ultimate outcome of this litigation. As a result, no expense for any potential adverse outcome of this matter has been recorded in the consolidated financial statements.

In August 2006, the Company filed a lawsuit against Crown Cork and Seal (USA), Inc. in state court in Alabama for breach of contract and seeking a
declaratory judgment on our beverage can sheet and food sheet contracts. The lawsuit alleged damages because of breaches by Crown of the beverage can sheet contract, and asks the court to interpret certain pricing provisions of the food contract. In
September 2006, Crown entered a counter claim asserting breaches to the food and beverage can contracts. Throughout the remainder of 2007, the Company continued to negotiate with Crown to reach a settlement on these issues. On February 1, 2008,
the Company and Crown agreed to settle the litigation without admitting any wrongdoing or liability by either party. The negotiations also resulted in the signing of a supply agreement between the two parties to supply can stock both domestically
and overseas.

The Company is a party to certain claims and litigation associated with employment related matters for which management believes that the
ultimate resolution will not have a material adverse impact on the Companys financial position.

Future environmental regulations, including those
under the Clean Air Act and Clean Water Act, or more aggressive enforcement of existing regulations, may result in stricter compliance requirements for the Company and for the aluminum industry in general.

In connection with our acquisition of the Listerhill facility in 1999, a consultant performed a soil and groundwater investigation (Phase II Report) to
identify any environmental issues at the various plants that comprise the Listerhill facility. That Phase II Report identified certain on-site environmental areas of concern that may potentially require investigation or remediation and provided a
then-present value estimate of approximately $18 million to address them. Pursuant to the Listerhill facility purchase agreement, the prior owner of the Listerhill facility, Reynolds, now Alcoa, is required to perform the work necessary and to
indemnify the Company against the environmental matters required by applicable law to be addressed that are identified in the Phase II Report and any other such environmental liabilities attributable to Reynolds that were identified on or before
March 31, 2004 subject to certain limitations. Alcoa disagrees with the cost estimates contained in the Phase II Report and has stated that it estimates that the environmental issues identified in the Phase II Report will cost less than $18
million to remediate. Although Alcoa has conducted some on-site environmental investigations and sampling and has submitted reports to the Alabama Department of Environmental Management (ADEM) regarding most of the on-site areas of
concern, and it has commenced cleanup activities with respect to some of the areas of concern, Alcoa has not yet commenced cleanup activities with respect to some of the areas of concern.

We are also party to an Environmental Cooperation Agreement, or ECA, with Alcoa, which is Reynolds successor. The ECA addresses, among other things, the use of a
surface water ditch system by both us and Alcoa, the use of process water retention ponds on Alcoas property and certain surface drainage easements across our property. The ECA expires in December 2009, with automatic two year renewal periods
unless either party elects to terminate, in which event the ECA will terminate one year following such election. Under the ECA, each party defends and indemnifies the other against claims arising from its own violations of any applicable
environmental laws, its handling, use, or disposal of hazardous materials at the Listerhill facility, a breach of any warranties, representations or covenants in the agreement, or damage or loss to property and injury to or death of any persons.

In November 2006, the Company received notice from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) regarding certain alleged violations of the
Clean Air Act. The Company disputes some of the alleged violations and has initiated actions to come into compliance with the relevant requirements. Settlement discussions with the EPA have been ongoing since that time. The U.S. Department of
Justice (DOJ) joined these discussions in December 2007. The government has indicated its intent to resolve the violations through a judicial consent decree, including the payment of civil penalties and implementation of certain



15



---

injunctive relief projects by the Company. The Company has made an offer to resolve the alleged violations and is awaiting a response from the government.
Discussions with the government are ongoing. The Company believes it is properly accrued for this contingency and, accordingly, the ultimate resolution of these matters is not expected to have a material adverse effect on the Companys
consolidated financial statements.

The Company is a defendant in an action brought by M&A Capital, LLC (M&A). In a suit dated May 8, 2008,
M&A is seeking payment of fees in the amount of $1.4 million related to a financial advisory engagement. Wise Metals has hired counsel and is vigorously contesting this lawsuit and believes it has meritorious defenses. The Company believes that
it is not currently possible to estimate the ultimate outcome of this litigation. The Company believes it is properly accrued for this contingency and, accordingly, the ultimate resolution of these matters is not expected to have a material adverse
effect on the Companys consolidated financial statements.

In July 2008, the National Labor Relations Board issued a consolidated complaint against
the Company which alleges that the Company failed to pay termination benefits to certain former employees represented by unions that, as of November 1, 2007, no longer represent any employees at the Company. The complaint seeks benefits on
behalf of a group of former employees but does not seek a specific amount for relief. The case will be tried during the fourth quarter of 2008 and no decision is expected before the end of the year. Wise Metals is vigorously contesting this
complaint and believes it has meritorious defenses. The Company believes it is properly accrued for this contingency and, accordingly, the ultimate resolution of these matters is not expected to have a material adverse effect on the Companys
consolidated financial statements.

The Company is subject to certain monthly purchase commitments for raw materials. The amount of inventory under this
commitment not yet received was $104,896 and $34,491 as of June 30, 2008 and December 31, 2007, respectively.

8. Business Segment Information

A reportable segment is a component of an enterprise in which the operating results are regularly reviewed by the enterprises chief operating
decision maker to make decisions about resources to be allocated to the segment and assess its performance, and for which discrete financial information is available. The Company has two reportable segments under FASB SFAS No. 131 (SFAS
No. 131), Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information: Alloys and Recycling.

Wise Alloys: Alloys
principally manufactures and sells aluminum can sheet to aluminum can producers and also serves the transportation, building, and construction markets. Beverage can stock is aluminum sheet specifically designed and engineered for use in the
production of aluminum beverage cans and represents the Companys primary product. Can stock customers include Ball Corporation, Crown Holdings, Inc. and Rexam PLC, the three largest beverage can manufacturers in the world. In addition, Alloys
produces food can stock and semi-fabricated aluminum sheet for building and construction, transportation and other markets.

Wise Recycling:
Recycling is engaged in the recycling and sale of scrap aluminum and other non-ferrous metals for use by Alloys as well as for sale to third parties. Recycling provides the Company with an effective, profitable infrastructure to obtain a portion of
Alloys scrap requirements. Recycling has developed a collection process that utilizes both direct acquisitions from scrap dealers and industrial accounts, as well as off-the-street from the actual consumer. Furthermore, Recycling
collects other forms of non-ferrous scrap, primarily non-UBC (used beverage containers ) aluminum, copper and brass, for sale in the merchant market. The Company is currently expanding the business of Recycling to include warehousing operations in
order to provide regional shipping centers for our scrap collection and to enhance the ability to provide a vendor managed inventory program for Alloys customers.

Substantially all of our revenues and assets are attributed to or are located in the United States. The Company evaluates segment performance based on profit or loss from operations before corporate general and administrative expenses, LIFO
adjustments, and mark-to-market adjustments for derivative contracts

under SFAS 133. The accounting policies of the segments are the same as those described in the significant accounting policies.

We have concluded that TMC is not a reportable segment because it is not significant to our consolidated operations and represents less than 10% of our revenues and its
absolute profit or loss represents less than 10% of our absolute profit or loss in each of the years ended December 31, 2007, 2006 and 2005 and for the three and six months ended June 30, 2008. Additionally, TMCs assets were less
than 10% of the combined assets of our operating segments as of December 31, 2007 and 2006 and as of June 30, 2008. Financial information about TMC is included in the Other caption in the tables below.

The following table sets forth information on the Companys reportable segments:

Note 1: The Company has eliminated all intercompany sales and cost of sales associated with transfers of recycled
aluminum from Recycling to Alloys. Recycling transfers aluminum to Alloys at market value and recognizes profit only when the sale to the end consumer is completed. Recycling transferred aluminum to Alloys with a cost of $19,671 and $36,350 for the
three month periods ended June 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively, and with a cost of $32,785 and $61,935 for the six month periods ended June 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively.

9. Related Party Transactions

On April 25, 2008, the Company entered into an Amendment No. 13 to its revolving credit facility (Amendment No. 13) to increase the maximum credit under the loan from $207.5 million to $278
million. Under Amendment No. 13, the applicable interest rates for the loan are either from 0.50% - 1.00% over the prime interest rate or 2.75% - 3.25% over the LIBOR rate, and are based upon the EBITDA of the Company for the immediately
preceding two (2), three (3) or four (4) fiscal quarter periods. To accommodate the increased maximum credit, certain sublimits in the revolving credit facility have been increased. The term of the credit facility has also been extended
from May 5, 2009 to May 5, 2010.

As part of the April 25, 2008 amendment, the RSA, an equity owner of the Company, has agreed to
participate in the revolving credit facility as a pari passu lender with a total commitment of $96 million. As consideration for the RSAs participation in the credit facility, the Company and the RSA agreed to enter into an amendment to the
existing master equipment lease to increase the amount outstanding under the lease by $4 million and increase the interest rate under the lease from 10.7% to 13.7%. The master equipment lease, as amended, now expires May 5, 2010. In addition,
the Company and the RSA entered into a fee letter agreement which requires the Company to pay the RSA certain deferred fees which, in conjunction with the increased interest rate under the amended master equipment lease, will ensure that the



18



---

rate of return for the amount outstanding under the RSA commitment equals, but does not exceed 8.5%. The requirement to pay these deferred fees will be
assessed on a monthly basis.



|ITEM 2. | MANAGEMENTS DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
|------- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Overview

We are the third largest producer of aluminum beverage can sheet in the world and one of
the largest aluminum scrap recyclers in the United States based on The Aluminum Association, Inc., a trade association for producers of primary aluminum and semi-fabricated aluminum products and recyclers. Beverage can sheet is aluminum sheet
specifically designed and engineered for the production of aluminum beverage cans. Our customers include Ball, Crown, and Rexam including their related international divisions. These customers produce aluminum cans for the largest brewers and
carbonated soft drink makers in North America. In addition, we produce food container stock and semi-fabricated aluminum sheet for transportation and other common alloy commercial markets. Our recycling operation, Wise Recycling, provides aluminum
feedstock for our aluminum sheet production as well as collection of scrap for sale in the merchant market.

Unlike some of our principal
competitors, we do not manufacture aluminum from bauxite. Instead, we process aluminum scrap and prime aluminum manufactured by third parties. As a result, we do not have the capital requirements and high fixed costs associated with the production
of prime aluminum. Historically, prices of our aluminum can sheet and other products have been directly correlated to the prices of our metal costs due to the standard industry practice of passing through metal costs to customers, subject to the
impacts of metal ceiling or price caps., which was an artificial limit on the price we could charge certain customers for metal, which has otherwise allowed us to maintain a relatively consistent conversion revenue, defined as net
revenue less material costs, on a per pound basis. The Company expects to have no impact from metal ceilings in 2008.

Quarterly Information

Our quarterly revenues tend to fluctuate period to period based in large part on changes in aluminum prices. These changes generally do
not affect our cash flow because we seek to match our hedging positions to our contractually-obligated sales agreements. We also pass aluminum cost increases to customers through an indexed pricing mechanism and/or by fixing the cost of metal
through forward contracts on the London Metals Exchange (LME). Our net income may also fluctuate period to period based on the mark to market adjustments for derivatives we hold to hedge aluminum and natural gas. Because we do not
designate our forward contracts as hedges under SFAS No. 133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activity, we are required to recognize the non-cash mark to market adjustment in our current earnings and these adjustments
may be material.

Critical Accounting Policies

We have prepared our financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. These statements include some amounts that are based on informed judgments and estimates of management. Our critical
accounting policies are discussed in Item 7, Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations  Critical Accounting Policies in our Annual Report on Form 10-K, for the year ended
December 31, 2007, filed May 7, 2008.

Recent Accounting Changes

During the first quarter of 2008, the Company elected to make a change in the manner in which it recognizes unrealized gains or losses associated with its
benefit plans. Specifically, the accounting changed from the standard recognition methodology under FAS 106 and FAS 87 to fully recognizing any gain or loss in excess of 45% of the greater of (1) Accumulated Post-Retirement Benefit
Obligation (APBO) and (2) market value of assets (MVA) and recognizing any gain or loss between 10%45% of the greater of (1) APBO and (2) MVA.

---

The Company has adopted SFAS No. 157 as of January 1, 2008 related to the financial assets and
financial liabilities, which defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. (See Note 2 to the Condensed
Consolidated Financial Statements).

New Accounting Pronouncements

In March 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 161, Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activitiesan amendment of FASB Statement No. 133 (SFAS 161). SFAS 161 changes the
disclosure requirements for derivative instruments and hedging activities. The standard is effective for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after November 15, 2008. We are evaluating any potential impact of the adoption of SFAS 161 on
our financial statements.

In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 160, Noncontrolling Interest in Consolidated Financial
Statements, an amendment of Accounting Research Bulletin No. 51, Consolidated Financial Statements(SFAS 160). SFAS 160 establishes accounting and reporting standards for ownership interests in subsidiaries held by parties other
than the parent, the amount of consolidated net income (loss) attributable to the parent and to the noncontrolling interest, changes in a parents ownership interest and the valuation of retained noncontrolling equity investments when a
subsidiary is deconsolidated. SFAS 160 also establishes reporting requirements that identify and distinguish between the interest of the parent and the interest of the noncontrolling owners. SFAS 160 is effective for fiscal years beginning after
December 15, 2008. We are evaluating any potential impact of the adoption of SFAS 160 on our financial statements.

In December 2007,
the FASB issued SFAS No. 141 (revised 2007), Business Combinations (SFAS 141(R)), which replaces SFAS No. 141, Business Combinations (SFAS 141). SFAS 141(R) retains the underlying concepts of
SFAS 141 in that all business combinations are still required to be accounted for at fair value under the acquisition method of accounting but SFAS 141(R) changed the method of applying the acquisition method in a number of significant aspects.
Acquisition costs will generally be expensed as incurred; noncontrolling interests will be valued at fair value at the acquisition date; in-process research and development will be recorded at fair value as an indefinite-lived intangible asset at
the acquisition date; restructuring costs associated with a business combination will generally be expensed subsequent to the acquisition date; and changes in deferred tax asset valuation allowances and income tax uncertainties after the acquisition
date generally will affect income tax expense. SFAS 141(R) is effective on a prospective basis for all business combinations for which the acquisition date is on or after the beginning of the first annual period subsequent to December 15, 2008,
with the exception of the accounting for valuation allowances on deferred taxes and acquired tax contingencies. SFAS 141(R) amends SFAS No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes, such that adjustments made to valuation allowances on
deferred taxes and acquired tax contingencies associated with acquisitions that closed prior to the effective date of SFAS 141(R) would also apply the provisions of SFAS 141(R). Early adoption is not permitted. We are evaluating any potential impact
of the adoption of SFAS 141 (R) on our financial statements.

In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159 (SFAS
No. 159), The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities, which provides companies with an option to report selected financial assets and liabilities at fair value. The new statement establishes presentation
and disclosure requirements designed to facilitate comparisons between companies that choose different measurement attributes for similar types of assets and liabilities and requires companies to provide additional information that will help
investors and other users of financial statements to more easily understand the effect of a companys choice to use fair value on its earnings. The new statement also requires entities to display the fair value of those assets and liabilities
for which the company has chosen to use fair value on the face of the balance sheet. SFAS No. 159 does not eliminate disclosure requirements included in other accounting standards, including requirements for disclosures about fair value
measurements included in SFAS No. 157, Fair Value Measurements, and FASB SFAS No. 107, Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments. SFAS No. 159 is effective as of the beginning of an entitys first fiscal
year beginning after November 15, 2007. Early adoption is permitted as of the beginning of the previous fiscal year provided



20



---

that the entity makes that choice in the first 120 days of that fiscal year and also elects to apply the provisions of SFAS No. 157. The Company did not
adopt the optional provisions of this statement.

In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, Fair Value Measurements
(SFAS 157), effective January 1, 2008, which defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements.
Issued in February 2008, FASB Staff Positions (FSP) 157-1 Application of FASB Statement No. 157 to FASB Statement No. 13 and Other Accounting Pronouncements That Address Fair Value Measurements for Purposes of Lease
Classification or Measurement under Statement 13 removed leasing transactions accounted for under Statement 13 and related guidance from the scope of SFAS No. 157. FSP 157-2 Partial Deferral of the Effective Date of Statement
157 (FSP 157-2), deferred the effective date of SFAS No. 157 for all nonfinancial assets and nonfinancial liabilities to fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2008. We are evaluating any potential impact of the adoption of SFAS
No. 157 for nonfinancial assets and nonfinancial liabilities on our financial statements.

Operating Results

Three months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007

Sales.Consolidated sales increased from $284.0 million in the three months ended June 30, 2007, to $350.0 million in the comparable period in 2008, an increase of $66.0 million or 23%. The increase was a result of higher
shipments increasing from 201.4 million pounds in the three months ended June 30, 2007 to 227.7 million pounds in the second quarter of 2008. The increase was also the result of negotiated price improvements including $1 million which
will not be included in future periods.

Wise Alloys sales increased from $239.3 million in the three months ended June 30, 2007 to
$298.3 million in the comparable period in 2008, an increase of $59 million or 25% due to improved market pricing, negotiated price improvements and increased volume. Second quarter shipments increased from 154.0 million pounds in the three
months ended June 30, 2007 to 162.1 million pounds in the second quarter of 2008, an increase of 8.1 million pounds or 5%.

Wise Recycling sales to third parties increased from $44.0 million in the three months ended June 30, 2007 to $51.0 million in the comparable period in 2008, an increase of $7.0 million or 16%. Shipments by Wise Recycling to third
parties increased approximately 39% for the second quarter of 2008 over the second quarter of 2007 due to higher recycling activity and an increased presence in the ferrous market.

Cost of Sales. Consolidated cost of sales increased from $273.8 million in the three months ended June 30, 2007, to $346.0 million in the
three months ended June 30, 2008, an increase of $72.2 million or 26%. The increase in consolidated cost of sales was primarily due to the increase in shipments and increased input costs.

Wise Alloys cost of sales increased from $236.5 million in the three months ended June 30, 2007 to $297.0 million in the three months ended
June 30, 2008, an increase of $60.5 million or 26%. Metal costs, representing 73% of Alloys cost of sales in the second quarter of 2007 and 2008, increased from $171.7 million in the second quarter of 2007 to $215.5 million in the second
quarter of 2008, an increase of $43.8 million or 26%. The increase is attributable to the 13% increase in Alloys shipments and higher metal prices. The increase was also attributable to a 38% increase in natural gas cost from $8.10 per mmBTUs
for the three months ended June 30, 2007 to $11.19 per mmBTUs for the comparable period in 2008. Energy costs represented approximately 5% of Alloys cost of sales in the second quarter of 2007 and 2008. The increase also includes a $10.0
million negative impact due to an increase in the LIFO reserve (refer to Note 3).

Wise Recycling cost of sales associated with third party
sales increased from $40.2 million in the three months ended June 30, 2007 to $47.1 million in the three months ended June 30, 2008, an increase of 17%. The increase can be attributed to the increased volumes at Recycling.

Selling, General and Administrative. Selling, general and administrative expense increased from $2.5 million in the second quarter of 2007 to $2.8
million in the second quarter of 2008.

---

Interest Expense and Fees. Interest expense and fees increased from $9.3 million in the second
quarter of 2007 to $9.6 million in the second quarter of 2008 due to higher outstanding amounts on our line of credit which increased from $192.5 million at June 30, 2007 to $239.6 million at June 30, 2008. The increase was due to higher
working capital needs caused by higher metal prices.

Mark-to-Market for Contracts under SFAS No. 133.This expense represents
the non-cash gain or loss we recognized from changes in the value of our derivative financial instruments. The unrealized gains were primarily a result of forward contracts entered into to hedge the cost of natural gas and aluminum. The fair value
decrease during the second quarter of 2007 was $3.3 million compared to a decrease of $6 thousand during the second quarter of 2008.

Six months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007

Sales.Consolidated sales increased from $536.5 million in the six
months ended June 30, 2007, to $665.7 million in the comparable period in 2008, an increase of $129.2 million or 24%. The increase was a result of higher shipments increasing from 370.6 million pounds in the six months ended June 30,
2007 to 436.5 million pounds in the first half of 2008. The increase was also the result of negotiated price improvements including $2 million which will not be included in future periods.

Wise Alloys sales increased from $462.0 million in the six months ended June 30, 2007 to $573.4 million in the comparable period in 2008, an
increase of $111.4 million or 24% due to improved market prices, negotiated price improvements and increased volume. First half shipments increased from 291.2 million pounds in the six months ended June 30, 2007 to 322.3 million
pounds in the first half of 2008, an increase of 31.1 million pounds or 11%.

Wise Recycling sales to third parties increased from
$73.3 million in the six months ended June 30, 2007 to $91.1 million in the comparable period in 2008, an increase of $17.8 million or 24%. Shipments by Wise Recycling to third parties increased approximately 28% for the first six months of
2008 over the first six months of 2007 due to higher recycling activity and an increased presence in the ferrous market.

Sales. Consolidated cost of sales increased from $521.7 million in the six months ended June 30, 2007 to $654.1 million in the six months ended June 30, 2007, an increase of $132.4 million or 25%. The increase in consolidated cost of
sales was primarily due to the increase in shipments and increased input costs.

Wise Alloys cost of sales increased from $450.6 million in
the six months ended June 30, 2007 to $558.7 million in the six months ended June 30, 2008, an increase of $108.1 million or 24%. Metal costs, representing 72% of Alloys cost of sales in the first six months of 2007 and 2008, increased
from $322.2 million in 2007 to $403.6 million in 2008, an increase of $81.4 million or 25%. The increase is attributable to the 13% increase in Alloys shipments and higher metal prices. The increase also included a 10% increase in natural gas cost
from $8.69 per mmBTUs for the six months ended June 30, 2007 to $9.56 per mmBTUs for the comparable period in 2008. Energy costs represented approximately 5% of Alloys cost of sales in the first six months of 2007 and 2008. The
increase also includes a $17.5 million negative impact due to an increase in the LIFO reserve (refer to Note 3 to our Consolidated Financial Statements).

Wise Recycling cost of sales associated with third party sales increased from $67.1 million in the six months ended June 30, 2007 to $84.6 million in the six months ended June 30, 2008, an increase of 26%.
The increase can be attributed to the increased volumes at Recycling.

Selling, General and Administrative. Selling, general and
administrative expense was $5.5 million in the first six months of 2007 and $5.7 million in the first six months of 2008.

Interest
Expense and Fees. Interest expense and fees increased from $18.4 million in the first six months of 2007 to $18.3 million in the first six months of 2008. This includes higher outstanding amounts on our line of credit which increased from $192.5
million at June 30, 2007 to $239.6 million at June 30, 2008. The increase was due to higher working capital needs caused by higher metal prices.

Mark-to-Market for Contracts under SFAS No. 133.This income represents the non-cash gain we
recognized from changes in the value of our derivative financial instruments. The unrealized gains were primarily a result of forward contracts entered into to hedge the cost of natural gas and aluminum. The fair value increase during the first six
months of 2007 was $7.7 million compared to a decrease of $4.2 million during the first six months of 2008.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Our principal sources of cash to fund liquidity needs are net cash provided by operating activities and availability under our
revolving senior secured credit facility described in Note 4 to our Consolidated Financial Statements. We anticipate that our primary liquidity needs will be for debt service, working capital (including potential increased margin deposits associated
with derivatives) and capital expenditures. Our debt service costs and working capital requirements have increased as a result of increased aluminum prices. We believe that cash generated from operations, available borrowings under our senior
revolving secured credit facility and other indebtedness will be sufficient to enable us to meet our liquidity requirements in the foreseeable future.

The following discusses material changes in our liquidity and capital resources in the six months ended June 30, 2008.

As of June 30, 2008, the outstanding balance on our revolving line of credit facility was $239.6 million. Available borrowings under the revolving credit agreement at June 30, 2008 were $7.3 million. In
addition, we had approximately $1.3 million of outstanding letters of credit against our $278 million revolving credit line. On April 25, 2008, the Company increased the revolving line from $207.5 million to $278.0 million and extended the
term to May 5, 2010. Our senior credit agreement and indenture agreement contain restrictive covenants. These covenants may constrain our activities and limit our operational and financial flexibility. The failure to comply with these covenants
could result in an event of default, which, if not cured or waived, could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, and results of operations. The facility is considered short term due to the use of a lockbox as well as
material adverse effect language within the agreement. The terms of the credit facility permit us to enter into various forms of additional financing with varying amounts. See Note 4 of the Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
above for further discussion. Furthermore, we frequently offer cash discounts for early payment against receivables from our major can sheet customers which can also increase overall liquidity.

Our liquidity has been directly impacted by aluminum prices which have increased steadily and dramatically since 2002. Average aluminum prices in 2002
were 65.4 cents per pound and have risen 103% to average $1.33 per pound for the six months ended June 30, 2008. These price increases have impacted and are continuing to impact our working capital requirements resulting in higher outstanding
debt supported by higher levels of receivables and inventory. Our net liquidity is determined based on a standard borrowing base formula which accounts for the collateral value of inventory and receivables on a basis approximating the lower of
current cost (on a first-in-first-out, or FIFO basis) or fair market value. This borrowing base is then compared to the outstanding loan balance including outstanding letters of credit to determine a net amount available for additional borrowings.
Our liquidity could also be hampered if we incurred significant unexpected increases in necessary capital expenditures. Significant increases in volumes could also impact our liquidity. See Item 1A, Risk Factors in our annual report
on Form 10-K, for the year ended December 31, 2007, filed on May 7, 2008, for certain circumstances that could adversely affect our liquidity. Decreased sales or lower margins could have a material adverse effect on our liquidity. While
the metal price ceilings materially impacted sales in 2006, the Company expects to have no impact from metal price ceilings in 2008.

If we
do not comply with these or other covenants and restrictions contained in our senior secured credit facility, the indenture and other agreements governing our indebtedness, we could be in default under those agreements, and the debt under those
instruments, together with accrued interest, could then be declared immediately due and payable. If we default under our senior secured credit facility, the lenders could cause all of our outstanding debt obligations under our senior secured credit
facility to become due and payable, require us to apply all of our cash to repay the indebtedness or prevent us from making debt

service payments on any other indebtedness we owe. In addition, any default under our senior secured credit facility or agreements governing our other
indebtedness could lead to an acceleration of debt under other debt instruments that contain cross-acceleration or cross-default provisions. If the indebtedness under our senior secured credit facility and indenture is accelerated, we may have to
seek other sources of financing or otherwise may not have sufficient assets to repay amounts due under our senior secured credit facility, our senior secured notes or under other debt securities then outstanding. Our ability to comply with these
provisions of our senior secured credit facility, the indenture and other agreements governing our other indebtedness may be affected by changes in economic or business conditions or other events beyond our control. The fair value of the
Companys debt at June 30, 2008 was $367.1 million compared to $278.8 million at December 31, 2007 due mostly to the increased borrowings under the revolving line of credit.

On April 25, 2008, the Company entered into an Amendment No. 13 to its revolving credit facility (Amendment No. 13) to
increase the maximum credit under the loan from $207.5 million to $278 million with a Company option to increase the line to $300 million. Under Amendment No. 13, the applicable interest rates for the loan are either from 0.50%1.00% over
the prime interest rate or 2.75%3.25% over the LIBOR rate, and are based upon the EBITDA of the Company for the immediately preceding two (2), three (3) or four (4) fiscal quarter periods. To accommodate the increased maximum credit,
certain sub-limits in the revolving credit facility have been increased. The term of the credit facility has also been extended from May 5, 2009 to May 5, 2010.

As part of the April 25, 2008 amendment, the RSA, an equity owner of the Company, has agreed to participate in the revolving credit facility as a pari passu lender with a total commitment of $96 million. As
consideration for the RSAs participation in the credit facility, the Company and the RSA agreed to enter into an amendment to the existing master equipment lease to increase the amount available under the lease by $4 million and increase the
interest rate under the lease from 10.7% to 13.7%. The master equipment lease, as amended, now expires May 5, 2010. In addition, the Company and the RSA entered into a fee letter agreement which requires the Company to pay the RSA certain
deferred fees which, in conjunction with the increased interest rate under the amended master equipment lease, will ensure that the rate of return for the amount outstanding under the RSA commitment equals, but does not exceed 8.5%. The requirement
to pay these deferred fees will be assessed on a monthly basis.

Effective April 10, 2008 the Company executed an asset sale agreement
with a financial institution that allowed the Company to sell certain accounts receivable up to $15 million on a non-recourse basis. On April 18, 2008, the facility was further increased to $25 million. This agreement expired on April 30,
2008. As of June 30, 2008 there were no receivables outstanding under this agreement.

Six months ended June 30, 2008 and
2007.

Operating Activities. During the six months ended June 30, 2008, net cash used in operating activities was $84.3
million, compared to $18.8 million during the six months ended June 30, 2007. Fluctuations in cash used in and provided by operating activities are subject to changing working capital requirements especially for accounts receivable and
inventory. In the first half of 2007, receivables increased from $104.1 million at December 31, 2006, to $117.2 million at June 30, 2007, an increase of $13.1 million. The receivables at December 31, 2006, were
relatively high as a result of a significant can sheet customer who had increased its order rate significantly at the end of the year leading to an increase in accounts receivable and a corresponding decrease in inventory levels. This also
contributed to a $28.4 million increase in inventory from December 31, 2006 to June 30, 2007. This was somewhat offset by aluminum prices, which decreased from an average of $1.31 per pound in December 2006 to an average of $1.24 per
pound in June 2007. In the first half of 2008, receivables increased from $77.5 million at December 31, 2007, to 165.0 million at June 30, 2008, an increase of $87.5 million. The receivables increase was due mostly to
increased sales in the first half of 2008 including a significant increase in foreign shipments with longer terms. Inventory increased by $61.6 million from December 31, 2007 to June 30, 2008 in order to meet increased customer demand
and expected sales. Accounts payable increased $79.3 million from December 31, 2007 to June 30, 2008 resulting from increased inventory requirements and increase raw material pricing.

Investing Activities. In the three months ended June 30, 2008, our capital expenditures were
$9.5 million, compared to $8.2 million during the same period in 2007. Both six month periods included some significant projects leading to relatively higher expenditures including planned furnace rebuilds. The Company is continuing the next step in
a program to further diversify industry product offerings by adding increased width to its aluminum can-stock capabilities. The results of this phase will extend the width of Wise Alloys can stock from 60 inches to 72 inches by the end of 2008. This
project will allow Wise Alloys can-sheet product to also become available to beverage-can producers that use 14 and 15 out extended-width cupping presses in their manufacturing process.

Financing Activities. Net cash provided by financing activities was $94.1 million in the six months ended June 30, 2008, compared to $28.8
million in the first three months of 2007. The increase in the net cash provided by financing activities was related to the increased borrowings under the revolving line of credit to fund increased working capital needs due to an increase in
inventories in 2008 and primarily due to higher aluminum prices in 2008. The Company is also subject to increased terms on its foreign sales contracts.



|ITEM 3. | QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
|------- | ----------------------------------------------------------

See Item 7A of the Companys Annual Report on Form 10-K, for the year ended December 31, 2007, filed on May 7, 2008. There have been no significant changes to market risk.



|ITEM 4T. | CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
|-------- | -----------------------

(a) Disclosure Controls
and Procedures

As of June 30, 2008, our management, including our Chief Executive Officer (CEO) and Chief Financial Officer (CFO), has
conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Securities Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(e), as amended). Based on the evaluation, our CEO and CFO concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures
as of June 30, 2008 were not effective because of a material weakness in internal control over financial reporting described below.

A
material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the Companys annual or interim financial statements
will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis.

The Company has not maintained sufficient staff with appropriate training in
US GAAP and SEC financial rules and regulations. This control deficiency, if not corrected, could result in a material misstatement of the Companys annual or interim consolidated financial statements that would not be prevented or
detected on a timely basis. Therefore, management has concluded that this control deficiency constitutes a material weakness.

(c)
Remediation Activities

The Company has evaluated its resource requirements to ensure the timely and effective review and management of its
reporting process. The Company has formed a Finance Committee consisting of various financial and accounting personnel to regularly review the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting and is evaluating staffing requirements to
ensure the preparation of financial statements in accordance with GAAP. It has also added and is continuing to add additional financial staff, and has reviewed and updated scheduling and planning protocols in place to ensure continued timely
compliance with SEC reporting deadlines.

(d) Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

There was no change in the Companys internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the second fiscal quarter ended June 30,
2008 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Companys internal control over financial reporting.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION



|ITEM 1. | LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
|------- | -----------------

We are a defendant from time to
time in various legal actions arising in the normal course of business, the outcomes of which, in the opinion of management, neither individually nor in the aggregate are likely to result in a material adverse effect on our business, results of
operations or financial condition.

The Company is a defendant in an action brought by Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner & Smith
Incorporated pending in the New York Supreme Court, County of New York. In this action, Merrill Lynch seeks $0.9 million for out-of-pocket costs and expenses allegedly incurred pursuant to a letter agreement between Wise Metals and Merrill Lynch
dated January 31, 2002, in which Merrill Lynch alleges that Wise Metals agreed to reimburse Merrill Lynch for such costs and expenses. Wise Metals has hired counsel and is vigorously contesting this lawsuit and believes it has meritorious
defenses to the claims alleged therein. The Company has filed an answer to the complaint denying the material allegations and alleging several affirmative defenses and counterclaims which exceed in amount the sum sought by Merrill Lynch. Merrill
Lynch moved to dismiss the Companys counterclaims and by an order dated December 30, 2004, the Court granted this motion, dismissed the counterclaims and permitted Wise Metals to replead two of the counterclaims. The Company appealed,
which resulted in a reversal reinstating the dismissed counterclaims. Merrill Lynch has replied to the counterclaims. The action is proceeding and is presently in the discovery stages. The Company believes that it is not currently possible to
estimate the ultimate outcome of this litigation. As a result, no expense for any potential adverse outcome of this matter has been recorded in the consolidated financial statements.

In August 2006, the Company filed a lawsuit against Crown Cork and Seal (USA), Inc. in state court in Alabama for breach of contract and seeking a
declaratory judgment on our beverage can sheet and food sheet contracts. The lawsuit alleged damages because of breaches by Crown of the beverage can sheet contract, and asks the court to interpret certain pricing provisions of the food contract. In
September 2006, Crown entered a counter claim asserting breaches to the food and beverage can contracts. Throughout the remainder of 2007, the Company continued to negotiate with Crown to reach a settlement on these issues. On February 1, 2008,
the Company and Crown agreed to settle the litigation without admitting any wrongdoing or liability by either party. The negotiations also resulted in the signing of a long term supply agreement between the two parties to supply can stock both
domestically and overseas.

The Company is a party to certain claims and litigation associated with employment related matters for which
management believes that the ultimate resolution will not have a material adverse impact on the Companys financial position.

In
November 2006, the Company received notice from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) regarding certain alleged violations of the Clean Air Act. The Company disputes some of the alleged violations and has initiated actions to
come into compliance with the relevant requirements. Settlement discussions with the EPA have been ongoing since that time. The U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) joined these discussions in December 2007. The government has indicated its intent to
resolve the violations through a judicial consent decree, including the payment of civil penalties and implementation of certain injunctive relief projects by the Company. The Company has made an offer to resolve the alleged violations and is
awaiting a response from the government. Discussions with the government are ongoing. The Company believes it is properly accrued for this contingency and, accordingly, the ultimate resolution of these matters is not expected to have a material
adverse effect on the Companys consolidated financial statements.

The Company is a defendant in an action brought by M&A
Capital, LLC (M&A). In a suit dated May 8, 2008, M&A is seeking payment of fees in the amount of $1.4 million related to a financial advisory engagement. Wise Metals has hired counsel and is vigorously contesting this lawsuit and
believes it has meritorious defenses. The Company believes that it is not currently possible to estimate the ultimate outcome of this litigation. The Company believes it is properly accrued for this contingency and, accordingly, the ultimate
resolution of these matters is not expected to have a material adverse effect on the Companys consolidated financial statements.

In
July 2008, the National Labor Relations Board issued a consolidated complaint against the Company which alleges that the Company failed to pay termination benefits to certain former employees represented by unions that, as of November 1, 2007,
no longer represent any employees at the Company.



26



---

The complaint seeks benefits on behalf of a group of former employees but does not seek a specific amount for relief. The case will be tried during the
fourth quarter of 2008 and no decision is expected before the end of the year. Wise Metals is vigorously contesting this complaint and believes it has meritorious defenses. The Company believes it is properly accrued for this contingency and,
accordingly, the ultimate resolution of these matters is not expected to have a material adverse effect on the Companys consolidated financial statements.

As of June 30, 2008, the Company had no other known probable exposures relating to claims, environmental matters, or other legal proceedings that are expected to have a material adverse effect on the Company.
There can be no assurance, however, that unanticipated events will not require the Company to increase the amount it has accrued for any matter or accrue for a matter that has not been previously accrued because it was not considered probable. While
it is possible that the increase or establishment of an accrual could have a material adverse effect on the Companys financial results for any particular fiscal quarter or year, in the opinion of management there exists no known potential
exposure that would have a material adverse effect on the financial condition or on the financial results of the Company beyond such fiscal quarter or year.
