Note ABasis of
Presentation

The accompanying unaudited, condensed and consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for interim financial reporting, and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, the financial statements for interim reporting do not
include all of the information and notes or disclosures required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments considered necessary for a
fair presentation have been included and such adjustments are of a normal recurring nature. Results for interim periods should not be considered indicative of results for a full year. The December 31, 2005 consolidated balance sheet was derived
from audited financial statements but does not include all disclosures required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. For further information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto
included in the Companys Annual Report on Form 10-K for the period ended December 31, 2005 as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 15, 2006.

The accompanying consolidated financial statements as of June 30, 2006 and for the year ended December 31, 2005 include Noble International,
Ltd. (the Company) and its subsidiaries. The Companys operating subsidiaries are organized into a single reporting segment operating in the automotive supply business.

FASB Interpretation No. 47, Accounting for Conditional Asset Retirement Obligations, (FIN 47) clarifies that the term
conditional asset retirement obligation as used in Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 143, Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations, (SFAS 143) refers to a legal obligation to perform an
asset retirement activity in which the timing and method of settlement are conditional on a future event that may or may not be within the control of the entity. The Company has considered the provisions of both FIN 47 and SFAS 143 and has
determined that there are no material conditional asset retirement obligations. Accordingly, at June 30, 2006 no liabilities for such items have been recorded in the Companys financial statements.

Note ABasis of Presentation (Continued)

Basic earnings per share are computed by dividing net earnings by the weighted-average common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted earnings per share reflect the potential dilution that could occur if securities
or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised and converted into common stock or resulted in the issuance of common stock that then shared in the net earnings of the entity. For the three months ending June 30, 2006, the earnings per
share impact of considering the dilution resulting from the Companys convertible subordinated notes as if they were converted is dilutive. For the six month period ending June 30, 2006, the earnings per share impact of the convertible
subordinated notes is anti-dilutive. For the three and six month periods ending June 30, 2005, the earnings per share impact of considering the dilution resulting from the Companys convertible subordinated notes as if they were converted
is anti-dilutive. The Companys outstanding stock options are dilutive for all periods presented. The following table reconciles the numerator and denominator to calculate basic and diluted earnings per share for the three and six month periods
ended June 30, 2006 and 2005 (in thousands, except share and per share amounts).

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)

Six Months Ended June 30, 2006

Note EShare-Based Payments

Effective January 1, 2006, the Company commenced accounting for share-based payment arrangements in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standard (SFAS) No. 123(R), Share-Based Payments,
using the modified prospective application transition method. Accordingly, the financial statements of prior interim periods do no reflect any restated amounts. Under SFAS No. 123(R), the fair value of share-based payment arrangements are
recognized in the financial statements as period expenses, generally over the vesting period.

Total share-based compensation expense, net
of tax, for the three and six month periods ending June 30, 2006 was $0.05 million and $0.2 million, respectively. An income tax benefit of $0.2 million was recognized from share-based compensation arrangements during the six month period
ending June 30, 2006.

For periods prior to January 1, 2006, as permitted under SFAS No. 123, Accounting for
Stock-Based Compensation, the Company accounted for its share-based payment arrangements under Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees, and related interpretations. Under
SFAS No. 123, companies could either recognize the fair value of share-based payment arrangements as period expenses or disclose the pro forma impact in the notes to the financial statements. The Company elected to disclose the pro forma impact
in the notes to the financial statements. Accordingly, no compensation cost has been recognized under SFAS No. 123 for the periods prior to January 1, 2006 for awards under the Stock Option Plan, although the Company has recognized
compensation expense for awards under the Stock Incentive Plans since these awards were considered compensatory. Had compensation cost been recognized for awards under the Stock Option Plan based upon fair value, the Companys net earnings and
earnings per share for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2005 would have been as follows (in thousands, except per share data):

Stock Appreciation Rights Plan (SAR Plan)

The Board of Directors approved and adopted
the SAR Plan effective as of March 1, 2006. The purpose of the SAR Plan is to provide incentive for business performance, to reward contributions towards goals consistent with the Companys business strategy and to enable the Company to
attract and retain highly qualified, motivated and experienced employees. The SAR Plan provides for the grant of cash awards based upon the increase in the value of the Companys common stock from the date of grant through the date of exercise.
750,000 Stock Appreciation Rights (SARs) are authorized under the SAR Plan.

At June 30, 2006 there are 250,000 SARs
outstanding under the SAR Plan. The weighted-average fair value of these SARs is estimated to be $3.38 per SAR at June 30, 2006 using the Hull-White Enhanced SFAS No. 123(R) Model using weighted-average assumptions as follows:



|                      |  |   |       |  
|--------------------- |  | - | ----- | -
|Risk-free rate        |  |   | 5.2   | %
|Dividend yield        |  |   | 2.2   | %
|Estimated volatility  |  |   | 35.0  | %
|Expected term (years) |  |   | 5.8   |  
|Exercise price        |  | $ | 16.06 |  

The estimated volatility is based upon historical volatility. The expected term is based upon a
four-year graded vesting period and the assumption that SARs will be exercised when the Companys stock price is at a 20% premium to the exercise price. The fair value of the SARs is amortized to compensation expense on a straight-line basis
over the four year vesting period. The SARs expire ten years after the expiration of each graded vesting period. For the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2006, compensation expense of $0.05 million and $0.06 million, respectively, was
recognized related to the amortization of SARs. A liability of $0.1 million is recorded at June 30, 2006 for the amortized fair value of SARs outstanding. Additional compensation expense of $0.8 million will be recognized over the remaining
vesting period of approximately four years.

Stock Incentive Plans

In 2001, the Board of Directors adopted, and stockholders approved, the Employee Stock Incentive Plan and the Non-Employee Director Stock Incentive Plan
(together, the Stock Incentive Plans). The purpose of the Stock Incentive Plans is to advance the interests of the Company and its subsidiaries, to attract and retain persons of ability to perform services for the Company and its
subsidiaries by providing an incentive to such individuals through equity participation in the Company and by rewarding such individuals who contribute to the achievement by the Company of its economic objectives. The Stock Incentive Plans are
administered by the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors, which has the authority, subject to certain limitations, to make grants and modify the Stock Incentive Plans. The Stock Incentive Plans allow for the issuance of up to 706,291
shares of the Companys common stock. As of June 30, 2006, 634,148 shares are eligible to be granted under the Stock Incentive Plans.

Note EShare-Based Payments (Continued)

The Company issued 24,925 and 470 shares of common stock under the Stock Incentive Plans for the six month periods ended June 30, 2006 and 2005, respectively. The Company recorded compensation expense of $0.02
million and $0.3 million for common stock issued under the Stock Incentive Plans for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2006, respectively. The Company recorded compensation expense of $0.01 million and $0.04 million for common
stock issued under the Stock Incentive Plans for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2005, respectively. The shares issued during the six month period ending June 30, 2006 were granted fully vested but hold either a one or two
year trading restriction. At the date of grant, the per share weighted average fair-value of shares issued in the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2006 was estimated to be $14.01 and $12.38, respectively, incorporating any trading
restrictions into the estimation of fair value.

Stock Option Plan

In 1997, the Company adopted the Stock Option Plan, which provides for the grant of non-qualified stock options to employees, officers, directors,
consultants and independent contractors, as well as for the grant to employees of qualified stock options. The Stock Option Plan has a ten-year term and 700,000 shares of the Companys common stock have been reserved for issuance. As of
December 31, 2005, there were no options eligible for grant under the Stock Option Plan although options may be eligible for grant in the future if outstanding options are forfeited prior to the termination of the Stock Option Plan in 2007. The
Stock Option Plan is administered by the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors, which has the authority, subject to certain limitations, to grant options and to establish the terms and conditions for vesting and exercise thereof. The
terms of the stock options may not exceed ten years from the date of grant.

A summary of the status of the Stock Option Plan and the
changes during the six month period ending June 30, 2006, is as follows:

Note FCommitments and Contingencies

From time
to time, the Company is involved in litigation relating to claims arising out of its operations in the normal course of business. The Company maintains insurance coverage against certain types of potential claims in amounts which it believes to be
adequate. Management is not aware of any legal proceedings or claims pending against the Company that it believes will have a material adverse effect on the Companys financial condition or results of operations.

As of June 30, 2006, the Company guaranteed $3.0 million of SET Enterprises, Inc. (SET) senior debt in connection with its sale of
businesses to SET. During the third quarter of 2005, the Company agreed to extend its guarantee for one year. The Company may be required to perform under the guarantee if SET defaults under the terms of its credit facility. The maximum amount the
Company would be required to pay is $3.0 million. As of June 30, 2006, the Company had not been notified by SET or SETs lender of any default that would require performance under the guarantee nor was the Company aware of any other
factors that would require performance under the guarantee; as a result, in conjunction with other factors, the Company does not currently carry a liability for this guarantee.

Note GCommon Stock

February 3, 2006 for shareholders of record on January 27, 2006. Pursuant to SFAS No. 128, Earnings Per Share, all applicable share-related disclosures for all periods presented have been adjusted to reflect this
stock split.

Item 2: Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

General

Noble International, Ltd. (referred to herein as Noble, we, our or us), is a
full-service provider of 21stCentury Auto Body SolutionsSM, including tailored laser-welded blanks and tubes for the automotive industry. Our
laser-welded blanks are manufactured from two or more blanks of varying thickness and sizes welded together utilizing automated laser assemblies and are used by original equipment manufacturers or their suppliers in automobile body components such
as doors, fenders, body side panels, and pillars.

Results of Operations

The following Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (MD&A) should be read in
conjunction with the MD&A section included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2005, as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) on March 15, 2006. In addition, we executed a
three-for-two split of our common stock effective February 3, 2006 for shareholders of record on January 27, 2006. All applicable share-related disclosures for all periods presented in this report have been adjusted to reflect this stock
split.

Net Sales.Net sales for the three months ended June 30, 2006 were $109.6 million, an increase of $18.0 million or
19.6% compared to the same period in 2005. Net sales for the six months ended June 30, 2006 were $210.0 million, an increase of $31.6 million or 17.7% compared to the same period in 2005. These increases are attributable primarily to increased
sales on existing and new programs launched at existing and new facilities in the first quarter of 2006, as well as increased steel content as a percentage of total net sales.

Cost of Sales.Cost of sales for the three month period ended June 30, 2006 was $97.6 million, an increase of $16.0 million or 19.6% compared
to the same period in 2005. Cost of sales for the six month period ended June 30, 2006 was $188.1 million, an increase of $29.4 million or 18.5% compared to the same period in 2005. Cost of sales as a percentage of net sales remained flat at
89.1% for the three month period ended June 30, 2006 compared to the same period in 2005. Cost of sales as a percentage of sales increased to 89.6% for the six month period ended June 30, 2006 from 89.0% for the same period in 2005. The
increase in total cost of sales is consistent with our increased sales for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2006 compared to the same periods in 2005. Cost of sales as a percentage of net sales for the second quarter of 2006
remained consistent with the second quarter of 2005 despite higher steel content as a percentage of net sales due to continued operational efficiencies at our production facilities. Cost of sales as a percentage of net sales increased for the first
half of 2006 compared to 2005 due to costs in the first quarter of 2006 related to the addition and expansion of three of our production facilities, customer delays in launching some new vehicles, and increased steel content as a percentage of net
sales.

Gross Margin.Gross margin for the three month period ended June 30, 2006 was $12.0 million, an increase of $2.0
million or 19.8% compared to the same period in 2005. Gross margin for the six month period ended June 30, 2006 was $21.9 million, an increase of $2.2 million or 11.4% compared to the same period in 2005. For the three and six month periods
ended June 30, 2006, gross margin as a percentage of net sales was 10.9% and 10.4%, respectively. For the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2005, gross margin as a percentage of net sales was 10.9% and 11.0%, respectively. Gross
margin as a percentage of sales for the second quarter of 2006 remained consistent with the second quarter of 2005 despite higher steel content as a percentage of net sales due to continued operational efficiencies at our production facilities.
Gross margin as a percentage of net sales decreased for the first half of 2006 compared to 2005 due to costs in the first quarter of 2006 related to the addition and

expansion of three of our production facilities, customer delays in launching some new vehicles, and increased steel content as a percentage of net sales.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses.Selling, general and administrative expenses (SG&A) for the three
month period ended June 30, 2006 was $4.5 million, an increase of $0.9 million or 23.7% compared to the same period in 2005. SG&A for the six month period ended June 30, 2006 was $9.3 million, an increase of $2.5 million or 36.6%
compared to the same period in 2005. For the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2006 SG&A as a percentage of sales (4.1% and 4.4%, respectively) increased compared to the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2005 (3.9%
and 3.8%, respectively). The increase in SG&A as a percentage of net sales was driven primarily by increased spending commenced in the first quarter of 2006 to support growth, including costs to add, expand and staff production facilities. As
the production facilities completed launch phases in the first quarter of 2006, this SG&A expense was more fully leveraged as evidenced by the decrease in SG&A as a percentage of net sales from the first quarter (4.8%) to the second
quarter (4.1%) of 2006.

Operating Profit.Our operating profit for the three month period ended June 30, 2006 was $7.5
million, an increase of $1.1 million or 17.7% compared to the same period in 2005. Operating profit for the six month period ended June 30, 2006 was $12.7 million, a decrease of $0.2 million or 1.8% compared to the same period in 2005.
Operating profit as a percentage of net sales for the three months ended June 30, 2006 was 6.9% compared to 7.0% in the same period in 2005. Operating profit as a percentage of sales for the six months ended June 30, 2006 was 6.0% compared
to 7.2% in the same period of 2005. The reasons for the decreases in operating profit for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2006 are due to the factors discussed above in Cost of Sales and Selling, General and Administrative
Expenses.

Interest Income.Interest income for the three month period ended June 30, 2006 was $0.4 million, an increase of
$0.2 million compared to the same period in 2005. Interest income for the six month period ended June 30, 2006 was $0.7 million, an increase of $0.4 million compared to the same period in 2005. Interest income increased in both the three and
six month periods ended June 30, 2006 compared to the same periods in 2005 due to an increase in our cash balances as well as an increase in the rate of return earned on invested cash due to a higher interest rate environment.

Interest Expense.Interest expense for the three month period ended June 30, 2006 was $0.7 million, which is comparable to
the same period in 2005. Interest expense for the six month period ended June 30, 2006 was $1.5 million, an increase of $0.1 million compared to the same period in 2005. Interest expense for the three and six month periods ended June 30,
2006 includes interest paid on the long-term debt at our Mexico facility.

Impairment Charges.Impairment charges for each of the
three and six month periods ended June 30, 2005 includes an impairment of a non-core investment of $0.2 million.

Other, net.
Other, net for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2006 was a loss of ($0.1) million and ($0.3) million, respectively. Other, net for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2005 was a gain of $0.2 million and $0.5
million, respectively. Other, net for the three month period ended June 30, 2006 included foreign currency losses of ($0.1) million. Other, net for the six month period ended June 30, 2006 included foreign currency losses of ($0.2) million
and other expenses of ($0.1) million. Other, net for the three month period ended June 30, 2005 included dividend income of $0.2 million and the collection of assets previously written-off of $0.1 million offset by foreign currency losses of
($0.1) million. Other, net for the six month period ended June 30, 2005 included dividend income of $0.3 million and the collection of assets previously written-off of $0.2 million offset by foreign currency losses of ($0.1) million.

Income Tax Expense.Income tax expense for the three month periods ended June 30, 2006 and 2005 were $2.3 million and $2.0
million, respectively. Income tax expense for the six month periods ended June 30, 2006 and 2005 were $3.8 million and $4.4 million, respectively. The effective tax rate for the

three month period ended June 30, 2006 was 33% compared to 34% for the three month period ended June 30, 2005.
The effective tax rate for the six month period ended June 30, 2006 was 33% compared to 37% for the six month period ended June 30, 2005. The decrease in the effective tax rate for the six month period ended June 30, 2006 compared to
the same period in 2005 is due to an adjustment to deferred tax balances in the first quarter of 2005 related to changes in statutory rates and the treatment of state taxes at one of our production facilities. As a result, the average tax rate in
the first quarter of 2005 was 39% driving the higher average tax rate in the first half of 2005 to 37%.

Minority Interest. Minority
interest for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2006 was $0.3 million and $0.2 million, respectively. We entered into a joint venture with Sumitomo Corporation and its affiliates during the fourth quarter of 2005 at our Silao,
Mexico facility. Pursuant to the joint venture agreement, we maintain a 51% interest in the Mexico joint venture. The minority interest represents a 49% share in the Mexico facility net income for the three and six month periods ended June 30,
2006.

Net Earnings.As a result of the foregoing factors our net earnings for the three month period ended June 30,
2006 were $4.4 million, an increase of $0.6 million or 15.8% compared to the same period in 2005. Net earnings for the six month period ended June 30, 2006 were $7.6 million, a decrease of $0.1 million or 0.7% compared to the same period in
2005.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Our cash requirements have historically been satisfied through a combination of cash flow from operations, equity and debt financings. Working capital needs and capital equipment requirements in our operations have increased as a result of
our growth and are expected to continue to increase. Anticipated increases in required working capital and capital equipment expenditures are expected to be met from our cash flow from operations and borrowings under our credit facility. As of
June 30, 2006, we had net working capital of $17.5 million. Availability under our revolving credit facility was $35.0 million as of June 30, 2006.

We generated cash from operations of $12.9 million in the six month period ended June 30, 2006. Cash generated from operations was driven by net income ($7.5 million) plus depreciation ($4.9 million) and other
non-cash expenses ($1.2 million). This cash generated was offset by increased working capital requirements of $0.8 million driven by cash provided by changes in accounts receivable ($5.7 million), income taxes payable ($2.3 million) and other assets
($ 0.6 million) offset by cash used from changes in inventories ($6.9 million), prepaid expenses ($0.6 million), accounts payable ($1.5 million) and accrued liabilities ($ 0.2 million).

We used cash in investing activities of $7.1 million for the six month period ended June 30, 2006. This use of cash was primarily the result of the
purchase of fixed assets of $7.5 million offset by cash received from the sale of fixed assets of $0.1 million and cash received from notes receivable of $0.3 million.

We used cash for financing activities of $1.2 million for the six month period ended June 30, 2006. This use of cash was primarily for the payment of dividends of $2.1 million offset by the receipt of cash
related to the issuance of common stock ($0.2 million), net borrowings on long-term debt at our Mexico facility ($0.4 million) and a tax benefit from share based-payments ($0.2 million).

In March 2004, we issued $40 million in convertible subordinated notes (the Notes) in a private placement. The Notes have a three year term,
maturing on March 31, 2007, and may be extended another three years at the holders option. The Notes are convertible at the holders option anytime prior to maturity into shares of common stock at $21.33 per share (subject to
adjustment pursuant to the terms of the Notes). The interest rate on the Notes is 4% and is fixed for the entire term. There is a covenant within the terms of the Notes restricting us from paying dividends or distributions on our common stock in
excess of $0.32 per share in any twelve month period until March 2007.

As of June 30, 2006, we maintained a $35.0 million secured credit facility with Comerica Bank with a
maturity date of April 2009 (Credit Facility). The Credit Facility consists of a $35.0 million revolving loan with no borrowing base formula. There were no outstanding borrowings on the revolving loan at June 30, 2006 and therefore
our availability under the Credit Facility was $35.0 million. The Credit Facility is secured by the assets of Noble and its subsidiaries and provides for the issuance of up to $5.0 million in standby or documentary letters of credit.

At June 30, 2006, we were in compliance with all of our financial debt covenants under the Credit Facility.

The liquidity provided by our existing and anticipated credit facilities, combined with cash flow from operations is expected to be sufficient to meet
anticipated working capital and capital expenditure needs and for existing debt service for at least 12 months. There can be no assurance, however, that such funds will not be expended prior thereto due to changes in economic conditions or other
unforeseen circumstances, requiring us to obtain additional financing prior to the end of such twelve-month period. In addition, we continue to evaluate our business strategy and may pursue future growth through opportunistic acquisitions of assets
or companies which may involve the expenditure of significant funds. Depending upon the nature, size, and timing of future acquisitions, we may be required to obtain additional debt or equity financing. There can be no assurance, however, that
additional financing will be available when and if needed, on acceptable terms or at all.

As of June 30, 2006, we guaranteed $3.0
million of SET Enterprises, Inc. (SET) senior debt in connection with our sale of businesses to SET. During the third quarter of 2005, we agreed to extend our guarantee for one year. We may be required to perform under the guarantee if
SET defaults under the terms of its credit facility. The maximum amount we would be required to pay is $3.0 million. As of June 30, 2006, we have not been notified by SET or SETs lender of any default that would require performance under
the guarantee nor are we aware of any other factors that would require performance under this guarantee; as a result, in conjunction with other factors, we do not currently carry a liability for this guarantee.

Inflation

Inflation generally affects a company by
increasing the interest expense of floating rate indebtedness and by increasing the cost of labor, fuel, equipment and raw materials. We do not believe that inflation has had a material effect on our business over the reporting period included in
this report.

Item 3: Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

We are exposed to the impact of foreign
currency fluctuations. International revenues from our foreign subsidiaries were approximately 35% of net sales for the six month period ended June 30, 2006. Our primary foreign currency exposures are the Canadian Dollar, Mexican Peso, and
Australian Dollar. In general, where possible, we manage our exposures to foreign currency assets, liabilities and earnings primarily by funding certain foreign currency denominated assets with liabilities in the same currency and matching revenues
with expenses in the same currency, as such, certain exposures are naturally offset. However, at June 30, 2006, our Mexico joint venture, whose functional currency is the Mexican Peso, had net U.S. Dollar liability exposure of
approximately $4.0 million. Based upon this exposure, for every one percent increase (decrease) in the value of the Mexican Peso versus the U.S. Dollar, the joint venture would recognize a foreign currency transaction gain (loss) of
approximately $0.04 million. The joint venture is currently exploring strategies to mitigate this foreign currency risk. For the six month period ended June 30, 2006, the joint venture recognized a foreign exchange transaction loss of $0.2
million. We own 51% of this joint venture. Therefore, the impact to us is 51% of any transaction gain or loss.

Our financial results are
affected by changes in U.S. and foreign interest rates due primarily to our Credit Facility containing a variable interest rate when we borrow under the Credit Facility. We invest our excess cash balances in overnight and other short term
investments which may be impacted by changes in interest rates. We do not hold any other financial instruments that are subject to market risk (interest rate risk and foreign exchange rate risk).

Item 4: Controls and Procedures

We maintain disclosure controls and procedures designed to ensure that
the information that is required to be disclosed in our filings with the SEC is recorded, processed, summarized and reported on a timely basis. With participation from our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer, we have reviewed and
evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as defined in the Securities Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) as of June 30, 2006. We have concluded that as of June 30, 2006, our disclosure controls and
procedures were adequate and effective and would ensure that material information relating to Noble and our subsidiaries required to be disclosed in the reports we file with the SEC under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, would be
made known to them by others within Noble, particularly during the period in which this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q was being prepared.

There have been no changes in the internal control over our financial reporting during the quarter ended June 30, 2006 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the internal controls over our
financial reporting.
