FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

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 necessarily 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
Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.

Wise Metals Group LLC

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

September 30, 2006

(Unaudited)

(Dollars in thousands)

1.
Organization

Wise Metals Group LLC is a holding company formed for the purpose of managing the operations of Wise Alloys LLC and Wise Recycling LLC
(collectively, the Company). Wise Alloys LLC (Alloys) principally manufactures and sells aluminum can sheet to aluminum can producers and also serves the transportation and building and construction markets. Wise Recycling LLC (Recycling) is engaged
in the recycling and sale of scrap aluminum and other non-ferrous metals.

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 nine month period ended September 30, 2006, are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2006. 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, 2005. The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Wise Metals Group
LLC and its subsidiaries. Intercompany transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

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.

In June 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement No. 133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities(SFAS No. 133). SFAS No. 133 requires companies 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.

In determining the fair value of our aluminum futures and options contracts, interest
rate caps, and natural gas caps and swaps, the Company uses market quotes for contracts of similar maturities or management estimates in the absence of available market quotes. The Company adjusts the market quotes for aluminum derivative
instruments for premiums or discounts for various product grades, locations and the closing times for various terminal markets.

The Company maintains lines of credit with brokers for futures contracts and uses futures and options to manage
price exposure with respect to firm commitments to purchase or sell aluminum and for natural gas. As of September 30, 2006, we had on deposit with brokers approximately $10.0 million related to these positions. These deposits have been
classified as restricted cash on the balance sheet.

Manufacturing inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market based on the last-in, first-out (LIFO) method.
An actual valuation of inventory under the LIFO method can be made only at the end of each year based on the inventory levels and costs at that time. Accordingly, interim LIFO calculations are based on managements estimates of expected
year-end inventory levels and costs which are dependent upon prevailing aluminum costs and other factors which are beyond managements control.

Long-Lived Assets

We review our long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying
amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of the assets to the future net cash flows expected to be generated by the assets. If such assets are
considered to be impaired, the impairment to be recognized is measured by the amount by which the carrying amount of the assets exceeds their fair value. Judgments

made by the Company related to the expected useful lives of long-lived assets and the ability to realize any undiscounted
cash flows in excess of the carrying amounts of such assets are affected by factors such as the ongoing maintenance and improvements of the assets, changes in the expected use of the assets, changes in economic conditions, changes in operating
performance and anticipated future cash flows.

Restricted Cash

Restricted cash generally consists of cash on deposit with brokers to support lines of credit associated with the Companys derivative and hedging activity and cash collateral held in conjunction with the Companys sale of
accounts receivable (see note 3). At September 30, 2006 and December 31, 2005 substantially all restricted cash was on deposit with brokers associated with derivative and hedging activity as more fully described above.

|Total Non-Current Debt               |  | $                 | 150,665  |   |                  | $ | 150,826  |

On August 4, 2006, the terms of the Companys revolving line-of-credit were amended and the availability
was increased from $200 million to $207.5. The interest rate on the revolving line-of-credit is a variable rate of prime plus a range of 0% to 0.50% or LIBOR plus a range of 2.25% to 2.75%. Substantially all of the assets of the Company are
pledged as collateral for this financing arrangement.

At September 30, 2006, the Company also has outstanding letters of credit in the amount of $2.7
million with a financial institution.

The available borrowing base under the revolving credit facility is determined based on a borrowing base formula
which accounts for 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.

In addition, the revolving credit
facility (as well as the senior secured notes through cross-default provisions) is subject to customary compliance with financial covenants which include either attaining a minimum level of earnings before interest, taxes, and depreciation and
amortization (EBITDA) adjusted for the effects of LIFO and SFAS No. 133 (Adjusted EBITDA) or achieving a specified adjusted excess availability calculation. As a result of the August 4, 2006 amendment described above the termination
date of the revolving line-of-credit was extended to May 5, 2009 and the Company was not required to comply with either the Adjusted EBITDA or adjusted excess availability calculation until the periods beginning August 31, 2006. As of the
September 30, 2006 balance sheet date the Company was in compliance with the debt covenants under this agreement.

Effective March 31, 2006, the
Company executed an asset sale agreement with a financial institution that allows the Company to sell certain accounts receivable up to $17 million on a non-recourse basis. This agreement expires December 31, 2006. Under the terms of the
agreement, the Company agreed to sell on

an ongoing basis and without recourse, a designated customers accounts receivable. The terms of the sale agreement
also state that 15% of proceeds of the receivable sale will be held by the Company as cash collateral. This amount is reflected on the balance sheet as restricted cash. As of September 30, 2006, there were no receivables outstanding under the
agreement.

Subsequent to quarter end, the Company executed a sale leaseback agreement on certain pieces of production equipment with The Employees
Retirement System of Alabama in the amount of $29.9 million. The agreement executed on November 13, 2006 provided the Company with an initial funding of $14.95 million to be followed by an additional $14.95 million on December 1,
2006. The agreement qualifies as a capital lease and has a three-year term with a fixed interest rate of 10.7%.

4. Stock-Based Employee Compensation

Effective January 1, 2006 the Company adopted the fair value recognition provisions of the Statement of Financial Accounting Standards
No. 123 (SFAS No. 123) (Revised 2004), Share-Based Payment (SFAS No. 123(R)), using the modified prospective transition method. Under this transition method, stock-based compensation expense for the first quarter of fiscal 2006 for
all stock-based compensation awards granted prior to, but not yet vested as of, January 1, 2006 is based on the grant date fair value estimated in accordance with the original provisions of SFAS No. 123. Stock-based compensation expense
for all share-based payment awards granted after January 1, 2006 (for which there are none) will be based on the grant-date fair value estimated in accordance with the provisions of SFAS No. 123(R). All previously outstanding stock-based
compensation awards terminated during the current year with the termination of the single employee who had been awarded such awards.

5. Pension and
Post-Retirement Benefits

The Companys pension and other post-retirement benefit plans are more fully disclosed in Note 8 of the Notes to
Consolidated Financial Statements included in Item 8 of the Companys Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2005. 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 non-union
employees were established.

In 2003 the Company negotiated defined contributions to multi-employer union pension plans. These contributions were offered
in exchange for freezing service time and the pension factor in the aforementioned union employee 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. 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 and certain other benefits for life. Salaried employees who retire after age 60 with a combined 10 years service
with Alloys and the previous owner of the Alloys facilities will be eligible for medical benefits until age 65.

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 outlined by 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 $1.6 million to the multi-employer plans during 2005. Contributions to the defined benefit plan are expected to be approximately $5.3 million during 2006.

The 2006 and 2005 amounts shown below reflect the defined benefit pension and other post-retirement benefit expense for the three and nine month periods
ended September 30, 2005 and September 30, 2006:

In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 158, Employers Accounting for Defined Benefit and
Other Postretirement Plans, an amendment of FASB Statements No. 87, 106, and 132 (R), (SFAS 158). SFAS 158 requires companies to recognize a net liability or asset and an offsetting adjustment to accumulated other
comprehensive income to report the funded status of defined benefit pension and other postretirement benefit plans. SFAS 158 requires prospective application, and the recognition and disclosure requirements are effective for the Companys
fiscal year ending December 31, 2006. In addition, SFAS 158 requires companies to measure plan assets and obligations at their year-end balance sheet date. This requirement is effective for the Companys fiscal year ending
December 31, 2008. Management is currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of SFAS 158 on the Companys financial statements.

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 the Company and Merrill Lynch dated January 31, 2002, in which
Merrill Lynch alleges that the Company agreed to reimburse Merrill Lynch for such costs and expenses. The Company has hired counsel and is vigorously contesting this lawsuit and believes it has meritorious defenses to the claims alleged herein. 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 the Company 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 presently in the discovery stage.

The Company is a defendant in an
action brought by a former executive pending in Alabama State Court. In this action, the plaintiff is seeking to enforce an alleged settlement contract with the Company. The plaintiff alleges that a deal had been negotiated whereby in exchange for
$2 million the plaintiff would surrender his equity interest in the Company, forgo any claim for a $1 million severance that plaintiff alleges would otherwise come due on his 62nd birthday (payable in $50,000 quarterly installments) and provide the
Company with a general release of any existing or potential claims. The Company has hired counsel, is vigorously contesting this law suit and believes it has meritorious defenses.

The Company has accrued a $1 million reserve in connection with the above litigations.

On August 11, 2006 the Company
filed a lawsuit against Crown Cork and Seal (USA), Inc., Crown in state court in Alabama for breach of contract and seeking a declaratory judgment on the Companys

beverage can sheet and food sheet contracts. The lawsuit alleges 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.

On September 8, 2006, Crown entered a counter claim,
asserting breaches to the food and beverage can contracts. The Company intends to vigorously contest this counterclaim and at this time is unable to determine the reasonable likely outcome of both the Companys and Crowns claim.

The Company is 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.

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.
Beverage can sheet is aluminum sheet specifically designed and engineered for the production of aluminum beverage cans. Our customers include Ball, Crown, and Rexam. These customers produce aluminum cans for the largest brewers and carbonated soft
drink makers in North America. In addition, we provide food container stock and semi-fabricated aluminum sheet for the transportation industry and other common alloy markets. In 2005, we supplied an estimated 14% of the North American market for
aluminum beverage can sheet as measured by volume and we own one of only five beverage can sheet facilities in North America, providing valuable capacity to a consolidated industry. We further estimate that our market share has remained consistent
in 2006, and that we have increased our market presence in the commercial products markets.

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 on prime aluminum.
Historically, prices of our aluminum can sheet and other products have been correlated directly with the prices of our metal costs due to the standard industry practice of passing through metal costs to customers. This correlation, subject to the
impacts of metal ceiling or price caps has otherwise allowed us to maintain relatively consistent conversion revenue, defined as net revenue less material costs, on a per pound basis. The impact of metal prices rising above the ceiling
materially impacted the second quarter and is expected to impact the fourth quarter depending upon prevailing market conditions. This could lead to continued reductions in net conversion revenue and conversion margins

Shipments of Wise Metals Groups aluminum beverage can stock, other rolled aluminum products and scrap in the third quarter of 2006 totaled 203.8 million
pounds compared to 173.2 million for the same period in 2005, an increase of 18 percent. Shipments of scrap at Wise Recycling increased 26 percent in the third quarter of 2006 versus the third quarter of 2005, shipments of commercial products,
or common alloy, increased 166 percent and can sheet shipment volumes increased 3%. For the nine months ended September 30, 2006, shipments totaled 581.1 million pounds, compared to 569.2 million pounds for the same period in 2005, a
2 percent increase.

Sales increased by approximately 34 percent to $272.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2006, and have
increased 18 percent to $771.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2006, compared to year-ago figures.

Net loss for the third
quarter of 2006 was $53.9 million, which includes a $22.0 million unfavorable impact for FAS 133 Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities and a $25.0 million LIFO adjustment due to rising metal costs. This
compares to a net loss of $10.5 million in the third quarter of 2005, which includes a $0.2 million favorable impact for FAS 133.

Crown
Cork and Seal (USA), Inc. has notified us that it has arranged to cover its beverage can sheet volume for the fourth quarter of 2006 and for calendar year 2007. In 2005, sales to Crown totaled approximately 20% of our net sales of which beverage can
sheet was a substantial portion. Crown has requested and we have provided assurances that we will continue to supply our can sheet volume for food products. In connection with Crowns beverage can business, we filed a lawsuit against Crown and
in connection with Crowns food can business, we are seeking declaratory judgment to interpret certain pricing provisions. See Item 1 of Part II Legal Proceedings below.

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, subject to ceilings, 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 adjustment caused by our hedged position on
aluminum and natural gas. Because we do not designate our forward contracts as hedges under SFAS 133, 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 accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, and these statements necessarily include some amounts that are based on informed judgments and estimates of management. Our critical accounting policies are
discussed above in Note 2 to our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. As discussed below, our financial position or results of operations may be materially affected when reported under different conditions or when using different assumptions
in the application of such policies. In the event estimates or assumptions prove to be different from actual amounts, adjustments are made in subsequent periods to reflect more current information.

Inventory Valuation

Inventories are valued at lower of cost or
market using the last-in, first-out (LIFO) method. We use the LIFO method since it better matches current costs with current sales prices. Certain items in inventory may be considered impaired, obsolete or excess, and as such, we may establish an
allowance to reduce the carrying value of these items to their net realizable value. We determine the amounts in these inventory allowances based on certain assumptions and judgments made from the information available at that time. If these
estimates and related assumptions or the market changes, we may be required to record additional reserves.

Derivative Accounting

We have entered into long-term agreements to supply beverage and food can stock to our largest customers. To reduce the risk of changing prices for purchases and sales of
metal, including firm commitments under these supply agreements, as well as to manage volatile natural gas prices, we use commodity futures and option contracts.

Under SFAS No. 133, we 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.

In determining the fair value of our aluminum futures and options contracts, interest rate caps, and our natural gas caps and swaps, we use
market quotes for contracts of similar maturities or management estimates in the absence of available market quotes. We adjust the market quotes for our aluminum derivative instruments for premiums or discounts for various product grades, locations
and the closing times for various terminal markets. Differences in actual market prices from those estimated may cause us to make adjustments in future periods to reflect these differences.

Allowance for Doubtful Accounts

Our ability to collect outstanding
receivables from our customers is critical to our operating performance and cash flows. Typically, our customer agreements require monthly payments, mitigating the risk of non-collection. We record an allowance for doubtful accounts based on our
ongoing monitoring of our customers credit and on the aging of the receivables. If the financial condition of our two largest customers were to deteriorate, resulting in an impairment of their ability to make payments, the recorded allowance
for doubtful accounts may not be sufficient.

Long-Lived Assets

We
review our long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability of an asset is measured by comparing the carrying amount of the asset to the
future net cash flows expected to be generated by the asset. The impairment to be recognized is measured by the amount, if any, by which the carrying amount of the assets exceeds their fair value. Judgments made by us related to the expected useful
lives of long-lived assets and our ability to realize any undiscounted cash flows in excess of the carrying amounts of such assets are affected by factors such as the ongoing maintenance and improvements of the assets, changes in the expected use of
the assets, changes in economic conditions, changes in operating performance and anticipated future cash flows. Since judgment is involved in determining the fair value of long-lived assets, there is risk that the carrying value of our long-lived
assets may require adjustment in future periods. If actual fair value is less than our estimates, long-lived assets may be overstated on the balance sheet and a charge would need to be taken against earnings.

Operating Results

Conversion Revenue and Conversion Margin

Shipments of can sheet accounted for a substantial portion of our Listerhill facilitys output in 2005 and in the first three quarters of 2006.
There are two components to our pricing under industry standards for can sheet pricing. The first component of can sheet pricing is the market price for aluminum that we pass on to our customers, which is currently subject to an industry-wide
ceiling price that materially affected second and third quarter pricing and is expected to impact fourth quarter pricing. Under this industry formula, the metal transfer price is changed twice annually, on April 1 and on October 1. The
metal transfer price for the period April 1 through September 30 is determined based on the average published Midwest P1020 aluminum price for the preceding six-month period ended the last day of February. Likewise, the metal transfer
price for the period October 1 through the following March 31 is determined based on the average published Midwest P1020 aluminum price for the immediately prior six month period ended the last day of August. We reduce our exposure to
aluminum price fluctuations by passing cost increases to customers through this indexed sales pricing mechanism and by fixing the cost of metal through forward contracts on the London Metals Exchange (LME). Although the spread differential between
prime metal and scrap cannot be cost effectively hedged in the financial markets, we minimize market price risk with respect to scrap aluminum we receive from our customers and reprocess at a fixed conversion spread.

The second component of our pricing is a fixed conversion, or value added, price. The fixed conversion price is calculated annually using Alcoa Inc.s list price as
a basis. The fixed conversion price and metal price ceilings are the most significant factors influencing our profitability. Conversion pricing under our supply agreement is subject to renegotiation annually and at such times that our major
competitors change their published conversion prices. Because of the importance of the conversion price to our operating results, we measure conversion margin to evaluate our performance.

Conversion margin is determined as conversion revenue (sales less metal cost and the effect of LIFO) less conversion cost (cost of sales less metal costs). The following
table is a reconciliation of these non-GAAP financial measures to their related GAAP basis measures.

|1. | LIFO Adjustment represents the actual period adjustment recorded to adjust our inventory from FIFO basis to LIFO basis. An actual valuation of inventory under the LIFO method can be
made only at the end of each year based on the inventory levels and costs at that time. Accordingly, interim LIFO calculations must necessarily be based on managements estimates of expected year-end inventory levels and costs dependent upon
prevailing aluminum costs and other factors which are beyond managements control. The LIFO adjustment recorded is determined based on the volume of sales to date as a percentage of estimated annual shipments. On an annual basis, the LIFO
adjustment represents the actual year end calculated LIFO reserve adjustment.

Three months ended September 30, 2006 and 2005

Sales. Our sales increased from $203.7 million in the
three months ended September 30, 2005, to $272.1 million in the three months ended September 30, 2006, an increase of $68.4 million or 34%. The increase was primarily a result of price increases that were implemented on April 1,
2006. The average resulting sales price increased from $1.18 per pound in the third quarter of 2005 to $1.33 per pound in the third quarter of 2006, an increase of approximately 13%. The increase in sales was also a result of an increase in
shipments from 173.2 million pounds in the third quarter of 2005 to 203.8 million pounds in the third quarter of 2006, an increase of 30.6 million pounds or 18%. Third quarter shipments were higher primarily due to a 166% increase in
shipments of commercial product, a 26% increase in Recycling shipments and a 3% increase in shipments of can stock. The increase in commercial product shipments is a result of the continued entrance into this market while the increase in Recycling
shipments reflect an increase in shipments to third parties of approximately 26% for the quarter due to higher recycling activity associated with higher metal prices as well as continued efforts in the regions served by existing Recycling
facilities. Conversion revenue, which was $62.1 million in the third quarter of 2005, increased to $69.3 million in the third quarter of 2006. On a per pound basis, conversion revenue decreased from 35.8 cents per pound in the third
quarter of 2005 to 34.0 cents per pound, a decrease of 1.8 cents per pound or approximately 5%.

Cost of Sales. Cost of sales increased from $205.3
million in the three months ended September 30, 2005, to $268.4 million in the three months ended September 30, 2006, an increase of $63.1 million or 31%. Metal costs, representing 69% and 85% of cost of sales in the three months ended
September 30, 2005 and 2006, respectively, increased from $141.6 million in 2005 to $227.8 million in 2006, an increase of $86.2 million or 61%. The increase is attributable to higher metal prices along with an 18% increase in shipments.
Conversion costs, which exclude metal, but include employment, energy, materials and other costs increased from $63.7 million in the third quarter of 2005 to $65.6 million in the third quarter of 2006, an increase of $1.9 million or 3%. On a per
pound basis, conversion costs decreased from 36.8 cents per pound in the third quarter of 2005 to 32.2 cents per pound in the third quarter of 2006, a decrease of 4.6 cents per pound or 13%. The cost per pound decrease is primarily
attributable to a shift in sales mix towards commercial products which generally have lower sales prices and lower costs but improved margins versus can sheet sales subject to metal price caps. As a result, conversion margin increased from a ($1.6)
million deficit in the third quarter of 2005 to $3.7 million in 2006.

Selling, General and Administrative Expense. Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased from $2.6
million in the third quarter of 2005 to $2.0 million in the third quarter of 2006, a decrease of $0.6 million or 23%.

Interest Expense and
Fees. Interest expense and fees increased from $6.4 million in the third quarter of 2005 to $8.6 million in the third quarter of 2006 due to higher prevailing interest rates and higher outstanding amounts on our line-of-credit which increased
from $112.6 million at September 30, 2005, to $186.7 million at September 30, 2006. The increase in outstanding amounts on our line-of-credit was due to higher working capital needs caused by higher metal prices.

Mark-to-Market for Contracts under SFAS No. 133. This income (expense) represents the non-cash gain (loss) we recognized pursuant to SFAS No. 133. The
unrealized gains (losses) were primarily a result of forward contracts entered into to hedge the cost of natural gas and aluminum. The fair value increase during the third quarter of 2005 was $0.2 million compared to a decrease of ($22.0) million
during the third quarter of 2006.

Nine months ended September 30, 2006 and 2005

Sales. Our sales increased from $656.4 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2005, to $771.6 million in the nine months ended September 30,
2006, an increase of $115.2 million or 18%. The increase was primarily a result of higher metal prices coupled with price increases that were enacted on January 1, 2006 and again on April 1, 2006. The average resulting sales price
increased from $1.15 per pound in the nine months ended September 30, 2005 to $1.33 per pound in 2006, an increase of approximately 16%. The increase in sales was also a result of an increase in shipments from 569.2 million pounds in the
nine months 2005 to 581.1 million pounds in 2006, an increase of 11.9 million pounds or 2%. Conversion revenue, which was $200.1 million in the first nine months of 2005, increased to $204.4 million in the first nine months of 2006.
On a per pound basis, conversion revenue was 35.2 cents per pound in the first nine months of 2005 and 35.2 cents per pound in the first nine months of 2006.

Cost of Sales. Cost of sales increased from $642.0 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2005, to $760.7 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2006, an increase of $118.7 million or 18%. Metal costs,
representing 71% and 78% of cost of sales in the nine months ended June 30, 2005 and 2006, respectively, increased from $456.2 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2005 to $592.2 million in the nine months ended
September 30, 2006, an increase of $136.0 million or 30%. The increase is primarily attributable to higher metal prices. Conversion costs, which exclude metal, but include employment, energy, materials and other costs increased from $185.7
million in the first nine months of 2005 to $193.5 million in the first nine months of 2006, an increase of $7.8 million or 4%. On a per pound basis, conversion costs increased from 32.6 cents per pound in the first nine months of 2005 to 33.3 cents
per pound in the first nine months of 2006, an increase of 0.7 cents per pound or 2%. This cost increase is primarily attributable to the higher price paid for natural gas during the nine months ended September 30, 2006, which was approximately
31% higher than the same period in 2005, resulting in an approximate $7.7 million increase in natural gas costs which was offset in part by higher pricing. As a result, our conversion margin decreased from $14.4 million in 2005 to $10.9 million
in 2006.

Selling, General and Administrative Expense. Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased from $8.4 million in the first nine
months of 2005 to $7.9 million in the first nine months of 2006, a decrease of $0.5 million or 6%.

Interest Expense and Fees. Interest expense and
fees increased from $18.7 million in the first nine months of 2005 to $24.2 million in the first nine months of 2006 due to higher prevailing interest rates and higher outstanding amounts on our line-of-credit which increased from $112.6 million at
September 30, 2005, to $186.7 million at September 30, 2006. The increase to our line-of-credit was due to higher working capital needs caused by higher metal prices.

during the first nine months of 2005 was $1.5 million compared to a decrease of $20.7 million during the first nine
months of 2006.

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 3 to our Combined Consolidated Financial Statements above. 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.

As of September 30, 2006, the outstanding balance on our revolving line-of-credit was $186.7 million. In
addition, we had approximately $2.1 million of outstanding letters of credit against our $207.5 million revolving credit line. The termination date on the facility is May 5, 2009. The terms of the credit facility permit us to enter into various
forms of additional financing with varying amounts. Furthermore, we frequently offer cash discounts for early payment against receivables from our major can sheet customers which can also decrease outstanding debt and increase our 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 over 40% to average 91.7 cents per pound in 2005. In December 2005, aluminum prices had risen to an average of $1.07 per pound and continued to increase to an average of $1.18 per pound in the third quarter
of 2006. These price increases have and are continuing to impact our working capital requirements resulting in higher outstanding debt supported by higher levels of receivables and inventory. In addition, we are subject to margin deposits with our
brokers to support lines of credit associated with the Companys derivative and hedging activity. Therefore, these deposits can increase as aluminum prices increase or become more volatile. 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 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 be hampered if aluminum
prices were to substantially increase or if we incurred significant unexpected increases in necessary capital expenditures. Significant increases in volumes could also impact our liquidity. See Risk Factors included in our Annual Report
Form 10-K for the year-ended December 31, 2005 for a discussion of certain circumstances that could adversely affect our liquidity. In particular, a default under our revolving senior secured credit facility (which through cross-defaults would
result in a default of our senior secured notes) or decreased sales or lower margins and other competitive factors could have a material adverse effect on our liquidity.

Subsequent to quarter end, the Company executed a sale leaseback agreement on certain pieces of production equipment with The Employees Retirement System of Alabama in the amount of $29.9 million. The
agreement executed on November 13, 2006 provided the Company with an initial funding of $14.95 million to be followed by an additional $14.95 million on December 1, 2006. The agreement qualifies as a capital lease and has a three-year term
with a fixed interest rate of 10.7%.

Our revolving senior secured credit facility contains covenants as a means of monitoring debt compliance one of which
required that the Company meet either an adjusted EBITDA or an adjusted excess availability test (described in Note 3 to our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements above) which measure our liquidity. While debt compliance cannot be assured,
management expects that all debt compliance requirements will be met for the foreseeable future.

##### Table of Contents

Should aluminum prices continue to rise, we expect that the collateral value of our working capital would continue to
rise sufficiently to warrant further increases to the senior secured credit facility should required borrowings and conditions dictate. As such, we believe our available sources of credit will be sufficient to meet our liquidity needs.

Nine months ended September 30, 2006 and 2005

Operating Activities. During the nine months ended September 30, 2006, net cash used in operating activities was $44.7 million as compared to $3.1 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2005. Cash used in and
provided by operating activities fluctuates subject to changing working capital requirements, especially for accounts receivable inventories and margin deposits, all of which are dramatically impacted by aluminum prices. Accounts receivable
increased from $73.3 million at December 31, 2005, to $99.4 million at September 30, 2006, representing an increase of $26 million. Higher aluminum prices, which rose from an average of $1.07 per pound in December 2005 to an average of
$1.18 per pound in the third quarter of 2006, also contributed significantly to the increase in inventory. During the quarter ended September 30, 2006, the Company was required to deposit $10 million to support lines of credit associated with
derivative and hedging activity.

Investing Activities. In the nine months ended September 30, 2006, our capital expenditures were
$8.2 million as compared to $10.7 million during the same period in 2005.. For the first nine months of 2005, projects included a significant furnace rebuild and installation of an advanced reclamation melter process. For the nine months of
2006, projects included expansion of one of our recycling facilities and a major project to upgrade one of our furnaces.

FinancingActivities. Net
cash provided by financing activities was $49.5 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2006, compared with $9.8 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2005. This increase was related to increased borrowings under our
revolving senior secured credit facility to fund our working capital needs primarily due to higher aluminum prices and capital expenditures.

Effective
March 31, 2006 we executed an agreement with a financial institution that allows the Company to sell certain accounts receivable up to $17 million on a non-recourse basis. This agreement expires December 31, 2006. As of September 30,
2006, there were no accounts receivable sold under the agreement. Terms also state that 15% of proceeds of the receivable sale will be held by the Company as cash collateral. This amount is reflected on the balance sheet as restricted cash. As of
September 30, 2006, there were no accounts receivables outstanding under the agreement and no restricted cash associated with the sales of receivables.

Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

Cost of Aluminum. As a condition of sale for a substantial majority of
our sales, our customers require us to enter into short and long-term fixed-price commitments. Under these agreements, the pricing terms of the aluminum component can be based on band pricing which contains an industry standard six-month
lag formula and may contain an upper and lower limit, a fixed price or an upper limit only. Accordingly, the price of the aluminum component can be set as much as six months or more prior to the actual sale date, leaving us exposed to the risk of
fluctuating aluminum prices between the time the price on the order is determined and the time that the order is fulfilled.

Our aluminum commodity risk
management policy is to hedge the aluminum price risk associated with these fixed-price firm commitments. At September 30, 2006, these LME options and futures contracts covered approximately 27,150 metric tons of aluminum with an unrealized
fair value gain of approximately $1.1 million.

We do not enter into derivative contracts for speculative purposes.

Backlog of Customer Business

##### Table of Contents

We maintain long-term supply agreements with our key customers in the aluminum can sheet market and we believe the
general terms of our customer contracts are standard for the industry. These contracts are supply arrangements whereby specific quantities and product pricing are negotiated and agreed to on an annual basis under the terms of the multi-year master
supply agreement.

Under the terms of our customer contracts, we use an industry standard for pricing the metal component of all aluminum can sheet sold.
This standard is described above under Conversion Revenue and Conversion Margin. Accordingly, at any given point in time, we may have seven months of delivery priced under the master contract, the exact specifications and delivery
locations to be determined as described below.

We receive orders from our customers which provide detailed specifications as to metal characteristics and
specific plant location. Although all orders are placed pursuant to the contract, quantities and specifications will vary by plant and more specifically by production line within the plant. These orders are generally provided with a two to three
month lead time. The majority of all orders, specifically can sheet orders, that are processed by Alloys are made pursuant to a specific customer order. Due to seasonal considerations, Alloys highest sales volumes generally occur during the first
and second quarters.

We earlier announced conversion price increases effective January 1, 2006, as well as our intent to begin moving away from
providing ceiling coverage, or price caps, on the metal transfer price offered to can sheet customers. For the second and third quarter of 2006 the metal transfer price was above the ceiling and is expected to impact the fourth quarter of 2006
depending on prevailing market conditions. Confidential discussions are continuing with customers with regard to implementing these and other changes. These discussions resulted in contractual price increases that were effective January 1 and
April 1, 2006, with new price increases effective October 1, 2006. Current discussions are focusing on implementing further pricing relief for 2007 and beyond, including the elimination of all metal price ceilings or caps; however, we can
give no assurances as to the outcome of these discussions. Other can sheet suppliers have also announced similar intentions and discussions.

Crown Cork
and Seal (USA), Inc. has notified us that it has arranged to cover its can sheet volume for the fourth quarter of 2006 and for calendar year 2007. In 2005, sales to Crown totaled approximately 20% of our net sales of which beverage can sheet was a
substantial portion. Crown has requested and we have provided assurances that we will continue to supply our can sheet volume for food products. In connection with Crowns beverage can business, we filed a lawsuit against Crown and in
connection with Crowns food can business, we are seeking declaratory judgment to interpret certain pricing provisions. See Item 1 of Part II Legal Proceedings below.

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. The Company has hired counsel and is vigorously contesting this law suit and believes it has meritorious defenses to the claims alleged herein. 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 the Company 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 presently in the discovery stage.

The Company is a defendant in an action brought by a former
executive pending in Alabama State Court. In this action, the plaintiff is seeking to enforce an alleged settlement contract with the Company. The plaintiff alleges that a deal had been negotiated whereby in exchange for $2 million the plaintiff
would surrender his equity interest in the Company, forgo any claim for a $1 million severance that plaintiff alleges would otherwise come due on his 62nd birthday (payable in $50,000 quarterly installments) and provide the Company with a general
release of any existing or potential claims. The Company has hired counsel, is vigorously contesting this law suit and believes it has meritorious defenses.

The Company has accrued a $1 million reserve in connection with the above litigations.

On August 11, 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 alleges 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.

On September 8, 2006, Crown entered a counter
claim,asserting breaches to the food and beverage contracts can. The Company intends to vigorously contest this counterclaim and at this time is unable to determine the reasonable likely outcome of both the Companys and Crowns claim.

In the opinion of management, amounts accrued for exposures relating to the aforementioned contingencies, and other legal proceedings are adequate 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 September 30, 2006, the Company had no known probable but inestimable
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 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.
