# PART I

# Item 1. BUSINESS

# Introduction

All references herein to the
Company or Bandag refer to Bandag, Incorporated and its
subsidiaries unless the context indicates otherwise.

The Company has three reportable
business segments: the manufacture and sale of precured tread rubber, equipment and
supplies for retreading tires (the Traditional Business), the sale and maintenance of new
and retread tires to principally commercial and industrial customers through its
wholly-owned subsidiary, Tire Distribution Systems, Inc. (TDS) and the providing of
quick-service truck lubrication and routine tire service by its 87.5% owned subsidiary,
Speedco, Inc. (Speedco) through company-owned on-highway locations. Refer to Note 13 of
the consolidated financial statements for further details.

As a result of a recapitalization of
the Company approved by the Companys shareholders on December 30, 1986, and
substantially completed in February 1987, the Carver Family (as hereinafter defined)
obtained absolute voting control of the Company. As of January 31, 2006, the Carver Family
beneficially owned shares of Common Stock and Class B Common Stock constituting 64% of the
votes entitled to be cast in the election of directors and other corporate matters. The
Carver Family is composed of (i) Lucille A. Carver, a former director and widow of Roy J.
Carver, (ii) the lineal descendants of Roy J. Carver and their spouses, and (iii) certain
trusts and other entitles for the benefit of the Carver Family members. Shares of Class B
Common Stock have ten (10) votes per share. The Carver Family owns over 98% of the Class B
Common Stock. Shares of Class B Common Stock automatically convert to shares of Common
Stock on January 16, 2007.

On February 13, 2004, the Company
acquired an 87.5% majority interest in Speedco from its founders and Equilon Enterprises,
LLC, a Royal Dutch Shell Group company. In total, Bandag paid approximately $53,716,000,
net of cash received, for its 87.5% interest and to assume and retire $20,079,000 of debt.
The Company recorded $12,127,000 of goodwill and $12,800,000 of other intangible assets.

On June 10, 2004, Speedco acquired
the assets of six licensed locations, which were owned and operated by PM Express, Inc.
Speedco paid approximately $15,609,000, net of cash acquired, for these assets. The
Company recorded $5,194,000 of goodwill.

# Traditional Business

|(a) | General
|--- | -------

The Traditional Business is engaged
primarily in the production and sale of precured tread rubber and equipment used by its
franchisees for the retreading of tires primarily for trucks, but also for buses, light
commercial trucks, industrial equipment, off-the-road equipment and passenger cars. Bandag
specializes in a proprietary cold-bonding retreading process which it introduced to the
United States in 1957 (the Bandag Method). The Bandag Method separates the process of
vulcanizing the tread rubber from the process of bonding the tread rubber to the tire
casing, allowing for optimization of temperature and pressure levels at each stage of the
retreading process.

The Company and its licensees have
920 franchisees worldwide, with 34% located in the United States and 66% internationally.
The majority of Bandags franchisees are independent operators of full service tire
distributorships. The remaining franchises are owned by either GCR, a Bridgestone
wholly-owned company, or by Bandags distribution company, TDS. The Traditional
Business revenues primarily come from the sale of retread material and equipment to
its franchisees. The Traditional Business products compete in the replacement tire
market with new tire sales, as well as retreads produced using the cold-bonding method and
other retread processes. The Company concentrates its marketing efforts on existing
franchisees and on expanding their respective market penetrations. Due to its strong
distribution system, marketing efforts and leading technology, Bandag, through its
independent franchise network and TDS, has been able to maintain the largest market
presence in the retreading industry.

-2-

---

The Traditional Business in the
United States competes primarily in the medium and wide base commercial truck tire
replacement market. Medium and wide base truck tires are designed for medium trucks
Classes 4 through 6, heavy trucks Classes 7 and 8, as well as trailers and commercial
chassis. Both new tire manufacturers and tread rubber suppliers compete in this market.
While the Company has franchisees in 91 countries, and competes in all of these geographic
markets, its largest market is the United States. Truck tires retreaded by the
Companys franchisees make up approximately 22% of the United States medium and wide
base commercial tire replacement market. Other companies which supply to trucking fleets
in the replacement tire market include large new tire manufacturers such as The Goodyear
Tire & Rubber Company (Goodyear), Bridgestone Corporation (Bridgestone) and Groupe
Michelin (Michelin). Goodyear, Michelin and Cooper Tire and Rubber Company also compete in
the United States market as well as in other markets as a tread rubber supplier to a
combination of company-owned and independent retreaders.

The Traditional Business consists of
the franchising of a proprietary process for the retreading of tires primarily for trucks,
buses, light commercial trucks, and the production and sale of precured tread rubber and
related products and equipment used in connection with this process.

The Traditional Business can be
divided into two main areas: (i) manufacturing the tread rubber and (ii) providing and
supporting the retreading system to bond the tread rubber to the tire casing. Bandag
manufactures over 500 separate tread designs and sizes, treads specifically designed for
various applications, allowing fleet managers to fine-tune their tire programs. Bandag
tread rubber is vulcanized prior to shipment to its franchisees. The Bandag franchisee
prepares the tire casing for retreading and performs the retreading process of bonding the
cured tread to the prepared tire casing. This two-step process allows utilization of the
optimum temperature and pressure levels at each step. Using optimum temperature levels
during the bonding process results in a consistent, higher quality finished retread with
less damage to the casing. Bandag has developed a totally integrated retreading system
with the materials, bonding process and manufacturing equipment specifically designed to
work together as a whole.

|(b) | Markets
and Distribution
|--- | ------------------------

The principal market categories for
the Traditional Business are medium and wide base commercial truck tires, with more than
90% of the tread rubber sold by the Company used in the retreading of these tires.
Additionally, the Company markets tread rubber for the retreading of passenger, light
truck, heavy truck, off-the-road equipment, and industrial tires; however, historically,
sales of tread rubber for these applications have not contributed materially to the
Companys results of operations.

Trucks and Buses. Tread
rubber, equipment, and supplies for retreading and repairing truck and bus tires are sold
by the Company primarily to independent franchisees and TDS which use the Bandag Method
for that purpose.

National Account Business. The
Company has entered into contracts with companies pursuant to which Bandag agrees to sell
retread tires directly to transportation fleets of such companies and provide maintenance
and service for the retread tires (the National Accounts). Bandag subcontracts the sales,
maintenance, and service components of the National Accounts to its independent
franchisees and to TDS.

Other Applications. The
Company continues to manufacture and supply to its franchisees and other dealers a limited
amount of tread rubber for off-the-road tires, industrial tires, including solid and
pneumatic, passenger car tires and light commercial tires for light trucks and
recreational vehicles.

Franchises.     Bandag
has 920 franchises throughout North America, Central America, South           America,
Europe, Africa, Asia, Australia and New Zealand. These franchises are           owned and
operated by franchisees, some with multiple franchises and/or           locations. Of
these franchises, 315 are located in the United States.           Thirty-seven (37) of
Bandags foreign franchises are franchised by a           licensee of the Company in
Australia. The Company also has joint ventures in           India and Sri Lanka.

-3-

---

The current franchise agreement
offered by the Company grants the franchisee the non-exclusive retread manufacturing
rights to use the Bandag Method for one or more applications and the Bandag trademarks in
connection therewith within a specified territory, but the franchisee is free to market
Bandag retreads outside the territory.

|(c) | Competition
|--- | -----------

The Company faces strong competition
in the market for replacement truck tires, the principal retreading market which it
serves. The competition comes not only from the major manufacturers of new tires,
including less expensive tires from Asia, but also from manufacturers of retreading
materials. Competitors include producers of camelback, strip
stock, and slab stock for hot-cap retreading, as well as a
number of producers of precured tread rubber. Various methods for bonding precured tread
rubber to tire casings are used by competitors.

Bandag retreads often command a
higher price than tires retreaded by the competitors systems. The Company believes
that the superior quality and greater performance of Bandag retreads and expanded service
programs to end-users validate this price differential.

Bandag franchisees compete with many
other new-tire dealers and retreading operators of varying sizes. These include retreading
shops operated by the major new-tire manufacturers, large independent retread companies,
and smaller commercial tire dealers.

The Companys franchise
agreements with its independent franchisees typically terminate after five years unless
extended by mutual consent for an additional five years. In most cases the agreements are
extended. In addition, independent franchisees have the option of terminating the
agreements after three years. Since Michelin entered the United States retread market in
1997, the Company has experienced increasing competition in the United States retread
market. Although Michelin is substantially larger than the Company and has greater
resources, the Company believes that it can effectively compete with Michelin and maintain
the stability of its United States franchise organization.

For additional information on
competition faced by the Traditional Business see the foregoing discussion under
General herein.

|(d) | Sources
of Supply
|--- | -----------------

The Company manufactures the precured
tread rubber, cushion gum, and related supplies in Company-owned manufacturing plants in
the United States, Canada, Brazil, Belgium and Mexico. The Company also participates in
joint venture agreements in Sri Lanka and India as well as licensing agreements in South
Africa and Australia. The Company also manufactures pressure chambers, tire casing
analyzers, buffers, tire builders, tire-handling systems, and other items of equipment
used in the Bandag Method. Curing rims, chucks, spreaders, rollers, certain miscellaneous
equipment, and various retreading supplies, sold by the Company, are purchased from
others.

The Company purchases rubber and
other materials for the production of tread rubber and other rubber products from a number
of suppliers. The rubber for tread is primarily synthetic and obtained principally from
sources which most conveniently serve the respective areas in which the Companys
plants are located. Although synthetic rubber and other petrochemical products have
periodically been in short supply and significant cost fluctuations have been experienced
in previous years, including significant price increases throughout 2005, the Company has
not experienced any significant difficulty in obtaining an adequate supply of such
materials. Synthetic prices historically have been related to the cost of petrochemical
feedstocks and natural gas used in processing. However, the effect on operations of future
shortages will depend upon their duration and severity and cannot presently be forecast.

The principal source of natural
rubber, used for the Companys cushion gum, is Asia. The supply of natural rubber has
historically been adequate for the Companys purposes. Natural rubber is a commodity
subject to wide price fluctuations as a result of the forces of supply and demand.

---

|(e) | Patents
|--- | -------

The Company owns or has licenses for
the use of a number of United States and international patents covering various elements
of the Bandag Method. The Company has patents covering improved features, some of which
will not expire until 2019. The Company has applications pending for additional patents.

The Company does not consider that
patent protection is the primary factor in its successful retreading operation, but rather
that its proprietary technical know-how, product quality, franchisee support
programs and effective marketing programs are more important to its success.

The Company has secured registrations
for its trademark and service mark BANDAG, as well as other trademarks and service marks,
in the United States and most of the other important commercial countries.

# TDS

|(a) | General
|--- | -------

TDS, which provides new and retread
tire products and tire management services to national, regional and local fleet
transportation companies, operates 15 Bandag franchise and manufacturing locations and 45
commercial and retail outlets in 8 states. During 2005, TDS closed 1 commercial and retail
outlet, and acquired 1 retread plant and 5 commercial and retail outlets. In 2004, TDS
sold or closed 6 retread plants and 15 commercial and retail outlets and acquired 2
retread plants and 7 commercial and retail outlets. In 2003, TDS sold or closed 12 retread
plants and 32 commercial and retail outlets.

|(b) | Markets
and Distribution
|--- | ------------------------

TDS offers complete tire management
services including: the complete line of Bandag retreads, new tires (commercial, retail
and off-the-road), alignment and 24-hour road service. The tire management services are
provided over a broad geographic area west of the Mississippi in the United States. This
geographic coverage allows TDS to provide consistent, cost-effective programs,
information, products, and services to local, regional and national fleets.

Cost effective tire management
service continues to grow in importance for fleets of all sizes. Trucking fleets are under
intense pressure to be cost competitive and reliable in their services. Tire related costs
are one of the top operating expenses for trucking fleets. Bandag and its dealer alliance
network (including TDS) are able to provide trucking companies with comprehensive tire
management services, which result in lower tire operating costs for the trucking company
while, at the same time, helping the trucking company increase its service reliability
through the same tire management programs.

In an effort to fully service its
customers, TDS sells new truck tires manufactured primarily by Bridgestone/Firestone,
Continental/General and Yokohama, and to a lesser extent, other tire manufacturers except
for Michelin.

TDS markets its products through
sales personnel located at each of its commercial locations, retread production facilities
and retail facilities. TDS commercial locations operate as points of sale for retread
tires, new tires and services. In addition, the commercial locations operate as a home
base for mobile service trucks which must be able to provide customers with reliable and
timely emergency service as well as regularly scheduled maintenance service. TDS
sales personnel make personal sales calls on existing customers to ensure satisfaction and
loyalty.

-5-

---

|(c) | Competition
|--- | -----------

TDS competitors are other tire
dealers which offer competing retread applications, as well as Bandag franchised dealers.
In addition, such tire dealers typically sell and service new tires produced by large new
tire manufacturers and service providers such as those that supply TDS, as well as
Goodyear and Michelin. Goodyear and Michelin also compete in the United States market as
tread rubber suppliers through a combination of company-owned and independent retreaders.

|(d) | Sources
of Supply
|--- | -----------------

TDS purchases precured tread rubber
and retreading equipment and supplies from Bandag and purchases new tires from new tire
companies including Bridgestone/Firestone, Yokohama, Continental/General, and other
manufacturers.

# Speedco

|(a) | General
|--- | -------

On February 13, 2004, the Company
acquired an 87.5% majority interest in Speedco, Inc. from its founders and Equilon
Enterprises, LLC, a Royal Dutch Shell Group company. On June 10, 2004, Speedco, Inc.
acquired the assets of six licensed locations, which were owned and operated by PM
Express, Inc. Speedco provides quick-service truck lubrication and routine tire service
and has 35 company-owned on-highway locations in the United States.

|(b) | Markets
and Distribution
|--- | ------------------------

Speedco markets its product/service
through its on-highway truck service facility with a nationwide network. The multiple
product/service options can be purchased independently or in combination. These include
oil change and lubrication service, and tire repair, replacement, and maintenance service.
Both services are built on fast turn-around time, high-quality products and professional
services to owner operators and local, regional and national fleets.

Speedcos market positioning is
premium product and premium price. The primary product/service benefit to the customer is
to avoid unscheduled repair and downtime. Customers use this service to maintain the
integrity of their tractor and trailer vehicle and for tire preventative maintenance.

Tire customers are divided into two
types: Speedco Direct and Manufacturer National Accounts. Speedco Direct customers
purchase tire product and services per the Manufacturers Suggested Retail Price
established by Speedco. For new tire Manufacturer National Account customers, the tire
manufacturer sets the pricing for the new tire and Speedco earns a delivery commission.

|(c) | Competition
|--- | -----------

Speedco is the only national
on-highway network specializing in quick lubes and tire service for heavy-duty trucks.
Speedco competitors in the quick lube and tire business are truck stop chains and other
tire dealers, including Petro Stopping Centers and Travel Centers of America.
Speedcos tire competitors are other tire dealers that typically sell and service new
and retread tires.

|(d) | Sources
of Supply
|--- | -----------------

Speedco purchases oils from Shell
Oil, Exxon Mobil, and Chevron and filters from Baldwin, CAT and Fleetguard. Speedco
purchases new tires direct from new tire companies including Goodyear, Michelin and
Yokohama. Bandag retreads are purchased from Bandag franchised dealers.

# Regulations

The Transportation Recall Enhancement
Accountability and Documentation Act (TREAD Act), including the rules adopted thereunder,
applies to tire manufacturers, importers of tires and, with respect to certain provisions,
to retread tire manufacturers. The National Highway Transportation Safety Administration,
the federal agency that oversees certain aspects of the tire industry, has proposed and
may propose additional rules under the TREAD Act that may affect retread tire
manufacturers. There are numerous other federal and state safety and other regulations for
motor vehicles and components, including tires and wheels.

# Other Information

The Company conducts research and
development of new products, primarily in the Traditional Business, and the improvement of
materials, equipment, and retreading processes. The cost of this research and development
program was approximately $7,353,000 in 2005, $7,063,000 in 2004, and $7,238,000 in 2003.

The Companys business has
seasonal characteristics, which are tied not only to the overall performance of the
economy but, more specifically, to the level of activity in the trucking industry. Tire
demand does, however, lag the seasonality of the trucking industry.

The Company has sought to comply with
all statutory and administrative requirements concerning environmental quality. The
Company has made and will continue to make necessary capital expenditures for
environmental protection. It is not anticipated that such expenditures will materially
affect the Companys earnings or competitive position.

As of December 31, 2005, the Company
had an estimated 3,788 employees.

# Item 1A. RISK FACTORS

You should carefully consider the
risk factors described below in addition to the other information set forth or
incorporated by reference in this 2005 Annual Report on Form 10-K. If any of the following
risks actually occur, our financial condition or results of operations could be materially
adversely affected. The following list of risk factors may not be exhaustive. Additional
risks and uncertainties not presently known or that we currently believe to be immaterial
may also adversely affect us.

# We face significant
global competition and our market share could decline.

Retreaded tires are sold under highly
competitive conditions throughout the world. We compete with other new and retread tire
manufacturers on the basis of product design, performance, price, reputation, customer
service, and consumer convenience. The relationship between new tire pricing and retread
unit pricing has been narrowing, primarily due to retread unit prices increasing at a
faster rate than new tires and lower-priced imported new tires entering the market. The
narrowing of prices between new tires and retread tires reduces one of the competitive
advantages of retread tires, thereby increasing competition. Our ability to compete
successfully will depend, in significant part, on our ability to reduce costs. If we are
unable to compete successfully, our market share may decline, materially adversely
affecting our results of operations and financial condition.

# We rely on the success
and stability of our franchisees.

Our franchisees compete with many
other new-tire dealers and retreading operators of varying sizes. If we are unable to
maintain the stability of our franchise organization, our market share may decline,
materially adversely affecting our results of operations and financial condition.

# Higher raw material
costs may adversely affect our operating results and financial condition.

Raw material costs increased
significantly in 2004 and 2005, driven by increases in costs of oil and natural rubber.
Market conditions may prevent us from passing these increased costs on to our customers
through timely price increases. As a result, higher raw material costs may result in
declining margins and operating results.

# Speedco expansion may
adversely affect our operating results and financial condition.

We anticipate strengthening
Speedcos success by adding more locations and tire capability. A major component of
the expansion is to modify all existing locations and build new locations to include a
Bandag designed and developed high-speed tire sales and service capability. As a result,
the increased costs associated with the Speedco expansion resulted in declining margins
and operating results in 2005 and may continue to result in declining margins and
operating results.

# Our international
operations have certain risks that may materially adversely affect our operating results.

We have franchisees in Central
America, South America, Europe, Africa and Asia and licensees in Australia and South
Africa. These international operations are subject to certain inherent risks, including:
exposure to local economic conditions, potential adverse changes in the diplomatic
relations of foreign countries with the United States, adverse currency exchange controls,
withholding taxes and the withdrawal of foreign investments and earnings, the potential
instability of foreign governments, export and import restrictions, and other changes in
laws or government policies. The likelihood of such occurrences and their potential impact
on us vary from country to country and are unpredictable.

# We have foreign currency
translation and transaction risks that may adversely affect our operating results.

The financial condition and results
of operation of certain of our operating entities are reported in various foreign
currencies and then translated into U.S. dollars at the applicable exchange rate for
inclusion in our financial statements. As a result, the appreciation of the U.S. dollar
against these foreign currencies has a negative impact on our reported sales and operating
margin (and conversely, the depreciation of the U.S. dollar against these foreign
currencies has a positive impact). The volatility of currency exchange rates may
materially adversely affect our operating results.

# If we are unable to
attract and retain key personnel our business could be materially adversely affected.

Our business substantially depends on
the continued service of key members of our management, particularly Martin C. Carver, our
chief executive officer. The loss of Mr. Carver or the services of a significant number of our management
could have a material adverse effect on our business. Our continued success is also
dependent upon our ability to attract and retain qualified personnel. Competition for
these employees is intense, and we could experience difficulty from time to time in hiring
and retaining the personnel necessary to support our business. If we do not succeed in
retaining our current employees and attracting new high quality employees, our business
could be materially adversely affected.

# Item 1B. UNRESOLVED
STAFF COMMENTS

None.

# Item 2. PROPERTIES

# Traditional Business

The general offices of the Company
are located in a Company-owned 56,000 square foot office building in Muscatine, Iowa.

The tread rubber manufacturing plants
of the Company are located to service principal markets. The Company owns nine plants.
However, the Company only operates eight of these plants, three of which are located in
the United States, and the remainder in Canada, Belgium, Brazil (two plants) and Mexico.
The plants vary in size up to 194,000 square feet with the first plant being placed into
production in 1959. All of the plants are owned in fee. Operations in one tread rubber
manufacturing plant located in the United States were suspended in the fourth quarter of
1999 but the facility remains viable for general corporate purposes.

Retreading equipment is manufactured
at Company-owned plants located in Muscatine, Iowa and Campinas, S.P., Brazil, of
approximately 60,000 square feet and 10,000 square feet, respectively.

In addition, in Muscatine the Company
owns a research and development center of approximately 58,400 square feet, an 83,000
square foot training and conference center, and another 26,000 square foot office
facility. Similar training facilities are located in Brazil and Europe. The Company also
owns a 26,000 square foot office and machining facility in Muscatine.

Also, the Company mixes rubber and
produces cushion gum and envelopes at a Company-owned 168,000 square foot plant in Long
Beach, California. The Company owns its European headquarters facility in Brussels,
Belgium and a 129,000 square foot warehouse in Born, Netherlands.

# TDS

TDS currently owns 9 and leases 51
facilities. Fifteen (15) contain space for TDS retread production and 45 contain space for
commercial and retail operations. The Company believes that it will be able to renew its
existing leases as they expire or find suitable alternative locations. The leases
generally provide for a base rental, as well as charges for real estate taxes, insurance,
maintenance and various other items.

In the opinion of the Company, all of
its and TDS properties are maintained in good operating condition and the production
capacity of their plants is adequate for the near future. Because of the nature of the
activities conducted, necessary additions can be made within a reasonable period of time.

# Speedco

Speedco currently owns 35 locations.
Each location is sited on two or more acres visible from major interstates with easy
access to those interstates. Each facility has a minimum of an 8,500 square foot building
with three pitted service bays for lubrication service. In addition, a number of
facilities also have two tire lanes. In the opinion of the Company, all of its properties
are maintained in good operating condition and are adequate for the near future.

# Item 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

General

The Company is a party to a number of
lawsuits and claims arising out of the normal course of business. While the results of
such litigation are uncertain, management believes that the final outcome of any such
litigation will not have a material adverse effect on the Companys consolidated
financial position or results of operations. Changes in assumptions, as well as actual
experience, could cause estimates made by management to change.

Audra Smith v. Michael Rouse, et
al. and Yolanda Jackson v. Michael Rouse, et al.

Bandag has been named as one of
numerous defendants in two wrongful death actions brought in the Circuit Court of Warren
County, Mississippi: These cases arise from an explosion and fire which occurred on May
17, 2002, at a rubber recycling plant in Mississippi, operated by Rouse Rubber Co.,
(Rouse) killing five employees and seriously injuring at least seven others. Plaintiffs
allege that a rubber recycling machine was dangerously designed or maintained, causing the
explosion, and that Bandag may be passively liable as a joint venturer with
Rouse. Bandag was named in the cases based on its majority ownership of Rouse prior to
1995. Bandag had only limited involvement with the equipment in question while it had an
ownership interest in Rouse. Bandag did not manufacture, operate or repair the equipment
in question.

Bandag was originally named as one of
numerous defendants in the wrongful death actions brought in these two cases; however,
Bandag was dismissed without prejudice from the Jackson case for tactical reasons.
The Smith case claims compensatory damages of $40 million and punitive damages of
$25 million. However, it is unclear from the pleadings whether the plaintiffs seek
punitive damages from all defendants, including Bandag, or only from certain defendants,
not including Bandag. Astec, the manufacturer of the dryer system that exploded, settled
with the plaintiffs in apparently all cases for approximately $45 million. This settlement
will apply as a credit to the remaining defendants. The case activity thus far has been
focused on procedural disputes relating to proper venue. Consequently, discovery on
liability has not begun in the Smith lawsuit.

Bandag has reached an agreement to
settle with all known claimants, including those in Smith andJackson, in
consideration of the payment of a nominal amount. The parties are in the process of
securing the courts approval of the settlement.

# Item 7.    MANAGEMENT'S
DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

# Year Ended December 31,
2005 Compared to Year Ended December 31, 2004

# OVERVIEW

| | General
| | -------

The Company has three reportable
operating segments  its Traditional Business which manufactures and sells precured
tread rubber, equipment and supplies for retreading tires, Tire Distribution Systems, Inc.
(TDS) which sells and maintains retread tires and new tires to principally commercial and
industrial customers and Speedco, Inc. which provides quick-service truck lubrication and
routine tire service through company-owned on-highway locations in the United States.

Bandag and its licensees have 920
franchise locations worldwide, with 34% located in the United States and 66%
internationally. The majority of Bandags franchisees are independent operators of
full service tire distributorships and the remaining are owned by either GCR, a
Bridgestone wholly-owned company, or by TDS. The Traditional Business revenues primarily
come from the sale of retread material and equipment to its franchisees. TDS offers
complete tire management services including the complete line of Bandag retreads, new
tires (commercial, retail and off-the-road), alignment and 24-hour road service. Speedco
provides quick-service truck lubrication and routine tire service.

Bandag anticipates strengthening
Speedcos success by adding more locations and tire capability while not compromising
Speedcos deserved reputation for convenient, quick, quality service. A major
component of the expansion is to modify all existing locations and build new locations to
include a Bandag designed and developed high-speed tire sales and service capability. It
is anticipated that most new locations will be built with a minimum of two high-speed tire
lanes. The majority of the current locations are being modified to include two tire lanes
with the exception of those locations where current sites are not large enough to add two
lanes and the adjoining property is unavailable or cost prohibitive.  Speedco
had $39,640,000 in capital expenditures in 2005 and anticipates capital expenditures of
$50,000,000 to $60,000,000 in 2006. Bandag anticipates that the costs associated with the
start up of new locations and the expansion of tire lanes at existing locations will
continue to put pressure on Speedco margins and costs which may offset the positive
contribution of Speedco.

Approximately 31% of Bandags
retread material sales in North America come from national account contracts with a
variety of major fleets. The depth of the Companys franchisee network combined with
the quality of its products has allowed Bandag to build a significant national account
business. Significant fleet revenue is important to Bandags franchisees who act with
Bandag as subcontractors to deliver products, information and services to national fleet
customers. Bandags franchise agreements require its franchisees to buy their
precured retreading material and equipment from Bandag, which gives Bandag a secure
revenue stream. Growth in revenue can be achieved by expanding the amount of services that
can be provided to a fleet by Bandag and its franchisees while continuing to provide
value-added retread products. Bandag also generates significant cash flow which has
historically been used to reinvest in the business, make debt payments, pay dividends,
repurchase stock and other corporate purposes.

Despite an aggressive push by
competitors in the Unites States retread business, Bandag has retained its leading
position. In addition to its leading presence in the United States, Bandag also has an
important presence internationally in Europe, Canada, Mexico, Brazil, South Africa and
Australia.

| | Trucking
Industry
| | -----------------

While shippers apply pressure to
fleets from the service side, pressure on fleets from the cost side continues to
intensify. High insurance costs, increased driver wages, new hours of service (HOS) rules,
and higher fuel costs continue to increase the pressure on fleets to find ways to reduce
costs.

The pressure to reduce costs and
still meet shipper demands requires fleets to focus on increasing revenue through better
asset utilization. Fleets are looking for ways to reduce costs and to reduce the assets
that are used to generate revenues. They are focusing, not just on reduction of downtime,
but on better utilization of downtime that is mandated through regulation (e.g. when the
truck is down due to regulated driver rest time, fleets will seek to use that time for
vehicle maintenance). Fleets, particularly truckload carriers, will likely focus more on
preventive maintenance and other services and products, such as those provided by Bandag,
that can provide more reliable utilization of their assets.

| | New
Tire Retread Pricing and Profitability
| | ------------------------------------------

The relationship between new tire
pricing and retread unit pricing has been narrowing primarily due to retread unit prices
increasing at a faster rate than new tires and lower-priced imported new tires entering
the market. Generally, a decreasing new tire to retread price ratio will put downward
pressure on retread pricing and tend to increase the use of relatively less expensive new
tires instead of retreads. Increases in imports of low priced new tires and the movement
of major new tire manufacturers to lower their costs by utilizing overseas production has
exacerbated this situation. However, there still remains an inherent value in retreading
to fleets that recognize the need for a well-managed tire program that combines quality
new tires, retreads and tire management services to reduce operating costs.

| | Acquisitions
| | ------------

On February 13, 2004, the Company
acquired an 87.5% majority interest in Speedco, Inc. from its founders and Equilon
Enterprises, LLC, a Royal Dutch Shell Group company. In total, Bandag paid approximately
$53,716,000, net of cash received, for its 87.5% interest and to assume and retire
$20,079,000 of debt. The Company recorded $12,127,000 of goodwill and $12,800,000 of other
intangible assets.

On June 10, 2004, Speedco, Inc.
acquired the assets of six licensed locations, which were owned and operated by PM
Express, Inc. Speedco paid approximately $15,609,000, net of cash acquired, for these
assets. The Company recorded $5,194,000 of goodwill.

During 2005, the Companys TDS
segment acquired one retread plant and five commercial and retail outlets for $2,978,000.
During 2004, the Companys TDS segment acquired seven commercial and retail outlets
and two retread plants for $4,163,000.

| | Sale
of TDS Locations
| | ---------------------

Bandags TDS subsidiary sold or
closed one location during 2005, 21 locations during 2004 and 44 locations during 2003.
The Company considers TDS to be essential in order to protect Bandags distribution
where no independent Bandag franchise exists. Bandag will continue to divest TDS locations
where an independent Bandag dealer is willing to buy the location and when it is a
sensible decision for the Company to sell. Bandag will also continue to purchase locations
for TDS if it is necessary to maintain Bandags distribution in an area. In currently
unprofitable locations where TDS must operate to maintain Bandags presence to serve
its fleet customers, the Company intends to continue to improve operational efficiencies
to achieve profitability.

During 2004, the Companys TDS
segment sold 19 locations with a net carrying value of $18,496,000 for cash of $13,407,000
and assumed liabilities of $4,251,000. The assets of these locations consisted primarily
of inventory and property, plant and equipment. The divestitures resulted in a loss before
income taxes and minority interest of $838,000 which was recorded in engineering, selling,
administrative and other expenses in the Consolidated Statements of Earnings. During 2004,
TDS also closed two locations.

The 2004 and 2003 divested and closed
locations had net sales and loss before income taxes and minority interest as follows (in
thousands):

| | Outsourcing
Agreement
| | ---------------------

On May 3, 2004 Bandag announced that
Yellow Roadway Corporation elected on April 30, 2004 not to renew the existing Bandag
outsourcing agreement for Roadway Express tire and wheel services in place since 1999 and,
in accordance with the terms of the agreement, would be repurchasing the tire and wheel
assets from Bandag. On July 9, 2004 Bandag received an initial payment of approximately
$32,242,000 and received a final payment of approximately $1,781,000 on July 29, 2004.
These tire and wheel assets had net carrying values of approximately $33,700,000 and
$31,700,000 as of June 30, 2004 and December 31, 2003, respectively, and were classified
with other current assets in the Companys Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.
Bandags annual revenues under the contract in 2003, including revenue derived from
sales of retread materials to dealers performing services under the agreement, were
approximately $27,500,000. Bandag estimated that the agreement contributed approximately
$4,000,000 to consolidated net earnings in 2003, or approximately $0.21 per diluted share.
The foregoing discussion concerning the economic contribution attributable to the Roadway
Express agreement in 2003 overstated the potential financial impact to Bandag on the
termination of the agreement since it did not take into account or reflect the
contribution to earnings which Bandag recognized upon the investment of the proceeds
derived from the sale of the tires and wheels to Yellow Roadway Corporation.

| | Sale
of South Africa Operations
| | -------------------------------

On December 1, 2004, the Company sold
the business of Bandag in South Africa with a portion of the purchase price consisting of
installment payments to be made over five years. In relation to the installment payments,
Bandag is considered the Primary Beneficiary under FASB Interpretation No. 46,
revised December 2003 (FIN 46R), Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities
and therefore Bandag deferred recognition of the expected net loss. Effective December 1,
2005, Bandag is no longer considered the Primary Beneficiary and due to the foreign
operations reporting on a one month lag, Bandag will record the net loss of approximately
$16,500,000 or $0.83 diluted earnings per share in the first quarter of 2006. The loss is
primarily due to the cumulative translation adjustment of approximately $14,200,000 that
is recorded in the Bandag Consolidated Balance Sheet related to the South African
operation. The loss will not affect Bandags cash flow, but rather will be an
accounting entry which will reduce net earnings.

# RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Results include the Companys
three reportable operating segments  its Traditional Business, TDS and Speedco.

| | Net
Sales
| | ---------

Consolidated net sales in 2005
increased $50,297,000, or 6%, from 2004. This included an increase of $27,643,000 of net
sales for Speedco and an increase of $17,753,000 due to the effect of translating foreign
currency denominated net sales into U.S. dollars. Net sales in the Traditional Business
were also positively impacted by price increases. These increases in consolidated net
sales were offset by a $32,273,000 decrease in TDS net sales primarily as a result of the
divestitures in 2004. Retread unit volume in the Traditional Business was even with the
prior year. The Companys sales pattern is tied to the overall performance of the
economy and to the level of trucking activity.

| | Other
Income
| | ------------

Other income in 2004 includes a gain
of approximately $6,000,000 due to the sale of assets.

| | Gross
Profit Margins
| | --------------------

Consolidated gross profit margin for
2005 decreased 2.5 percentage points from 2004. Speedcos gross profit margin
declined 6.2 percentage points, primarily due to expenses associated with the start-up of
new stores and the addition of tire lanes to existing facilities. Traditional Business
gross profit margin decreased 4.2 percentage points from 2004, primarily due to higher raw
material costs and a decline in the profitability of fleet contract business. TDS
gross margin increased 2.4 percentage points.

| | Operating
and Other Expenses
| | ----------------------------

Consolidated operating and other
expenses increased $4,608,000, or 2%, from 2004. Speedco operating and other expenses
increased $11,358,000, primarily due to the additional stores and tire lanes. EMEA
operating and other expenses were negatively impacted by $3,100,000 for charges related to
a reduction in workforce. TDS operating and other expenses decreased $9,242,000 from 2004,
primarily due to the divestitures in 2004.

-18-

---

| | Interest
Income
| | ---------------

Consolidated interest income
increased $3,207,000 from 2004, primarily due to an increase in interest rates.

| | Income
Taxes
| | ------------

The effective tax rate was 31.3% for
2005 as compared to 20.8% for 2004. The lower effective tax rate in 2004 was largely
attributable to $7,200,000 of tax adjustments in 2004, resulting primarily from the
reassessment of certain tax matters.

| | Net
Earnings
| | ------------

Consolidated net earnings in 2005
were $49,479,000, or $2.52 per diluted share, as compared to $66,880,000, or $3.39 per
diluted share in 2004. Consolidated net earnings in 2004 included $3,700,000, or $0.19 per
diluted share, due to the sale of assets. Consolidated net earnings in 2004 were also
favorably impacted by $7,200,000, or $0.37 per diluted share, for the resolution and
reassessment of certain tax matters.

# TRADITIONAL BUSINESS

| | North
America
| | -------------

The Companys Traditional
Business operations located in the United States and Canada, together with Open Road
Technologies, are integrated and managed as one unit, which is referred to internally as
North America. North America sells to independent dealers as well as to TDS and
other subsidiaries. Sales to TDS and other subsidiaries are eliminated in consolidation.
Accordingly, as TDS locations are divested and become unaffiliated Bandag customers, sales
to independent dealers should benefit.

The table below depicts the breakout
of North Americas retread product sales between TDS and independent dealers:

|(in thousands)               | Year Ended December 31,
|---------------------------- | -----------------------
|Retread Product Sales        | 2005                   
|Sales to Independent Dealers |                        
|Sales to TDS                 |                        
|                             |                        
|Total Retread Product Sales  |                        
|                             |                        

The increase in retread product sales
to independent dealers is due to several factors, including price increases in December
2004 and May 2005, a 3% increase in retread material unit volume, increased sales to
independent dealers that purchased TDS locations and the positive effect of translating
Canadian dollar foreign currency denominated results to U.S. dollars of approximately
$3,819,000. Retread product sales increased at a higher rate than the unit volume
increased due to the impact of price increases in December 2004 and May 2005. The decrease
in retread product sales to TDS is primarily due to the divestitures and closures of TDS
locations.

Higher raw material costs and a
decline in the profitability of fleet contract business primarily resulted in a 5.5
percentage point decrease in North Americas gross profit margin in 2005 as compared
to 2004. North America increased prices in December 2004, May 2005 and November 2005 to
partially offset the increased raw material prices. The November 2005 price increase did
not have a material impact on 2005 gross margins. Continued margin pressure is expected in
2006.

North American operating and other
expenses in 2005 were $6,570,000, or 6%, lower than 2004 expenses. North American
operating expenses in 2004 included $2,400,000 of expenses related to Quality Designs
Systems, Inc. (QDS) which was divested in December 2004. North American operating and
other expenses in 2004 were negatively impacted by a $1,100,000 adjustment related to a
reassessment of sales tax accruals. North American other income in 2004 was positively
impacted by a gain on sale of assets of approximately $6,000,000, which included a gain of
$1,937,000 from the sale of certain assets of QDS and a gain of approximately $3,400,000
from the sale of the Chino, California facility. North America recorded income before
income taxes and minority interest of $63,026,000 in 2005 as compared to $72,529,000 in
2004.

| | EMEA
| | ----

The Companys operations located
in Europe principally service markets in European countries, but also export to certain
other countries in the Middle East and Northern and Central Africa. This collection of
countries is under one management group and is referred to internally as EMEA. Net
sales in EMEA increased $709,000, or 1%, from 2004, on a 7% decrease in volume. The
increase in net sales is primarily due to the effect of translating foreign currency
denominated net sales to U.S. dollars of approximately $1,392,000 and increased selling
prices. The primary reason for the decline in retread material unit volume was the loss of
several dealers during 2004. Gross profit margin increased 0.6 percentage points from
2004, primarily due to price increases targeted to improve margins.

Operating and other expenses
increased $3,628,000, or 12%, from 2004, primarily due to charges of $3,100,000 for a
reduction in workforce. EMEA recorded a loss before income taxes and minority interest of
$262,000 in 2005 as compared to income on the same basis of $2,789,000 in 2004.

| | International
| | -------------

The Companys exports from North
America to markets in the Caribbean, Central America, South America and Asia, along with
operations in Brazil, Mexico, Venezuela, South Africa and royalties from a licensee in
Australia, are combined under one management group referred to internally as
International. International net sales increased $18,712,000, or 18%, from 2004.
Retread material unit volume decreased 5% from 2004 which includes a 12% decrease in
volume in Brazil. The primarily reason for the decline in retread material unit volume in
Brazil was the loss of several dealers during 2004. Net sales were positively impacted by
price increases and by $12,542,000 due to the effect of translating foreign currency
denominated net sales to U.S. dollars. Gross profit margin decreased 2.6 percentage points
from 2004, primarily due to higher raw material costs.

Operating and other expenses
increased $3,849,000, or 16%, from 2004, primarily due to the higher translated value of
the foreign Brazilian Real. International recorded earnings before income taxes and
minority interest of $14,821,000 in 2005 as compared to $14,886,000 in 2004.

# TIRE DISTRIBUTION
SYSTEMS, INC.

TDS net sales decreased $32,273,000,
or 16%, as compared to 2004, primarily due to the divestitures and closures in 2004. TDS
net sales were positively impacted by higher prices and an increase in service revenue and
new tire sales.

The divested and closed locations had
net sales and a loss before income taxes and minority interest of $60,504,000 and
$600,000, respectively, for 2004.

TDS gross profit margin increased 2.4
percentage points from 2004 primarily due to higher selling prices and increased service
revenue, which has higher margins.

Operating and other expenses
decreased $9,242,000, or 18%, primarily due to the divestitures in 2004. Operating and
other expenses were positively impacted by a decrease in reserves for insurance. TDS
recorded earnings before income taxes and minority interest of $6,584,000 in 2005 as
compared to $1,506,000 in 2004.

See OVERVIEW  Sale of TDS
locations hereunder for a discussion of the sale of TDS locations in 2004.

# SPEEDCO, INC.

The net sales of Speedco, which was
acquired February 13, 2004, and its six licensees which were acquired June 10, 2004,
increased $27,643,000, or 50%, for 2005. The increase in net sales is primarily due to an
increase in volume at existing locations, the addition of two facilities and the addition
of tire lanes to eighteen existing facilities. Gross profit margin decreased 6.2
percentage points and operating and other expenses increased $11,358,000. The decrease in
gross profit margin and the increase in operating and other expenses are primarily due to
the additional facilities and the installation of tire lanes.

Speedco recorded earnings before
income taxes and minority interest of $581,000 in 2005 as compared to $6,249,000 in 2004.
The decrease is primarily due to the additional facilities and the installation of tire
lanes at existing facilities.

# OTHER

The Companys Other segment
consists of corporate expenses, interest income on invested cash balances and interest
expense on long-term and short-term debt. Corporate expenses increased $1,676,000
primarily due to net foreign exchange gains and losses on U.S. denominated investments.
Consolidated interest income increased $3,207,000 from 2004, primarily due to an increase
in interest rates.

# Year Ended December 31,
2004 Compared to Year Ended December 31, 2003

# RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Results include the Companys
three reportable operating segments  its Traditional Business, TDS and Speedco.

| | Net
Sales
| | ---------

Consolidated net sales in 2004
increased $37,989,000, or 5%, from 2003. This included $55,065,000 of net sales provided
by Speedco and an increase of $20,223,000 due to the effect of translating foreign
currency denominated net sales into U.S. dollars. These increases in consolidated net
sales were offset by a $38,932,000 decrease in TDS net sales primarily as a result of the
divestitures and closures in 2004 and 2003. The Companys sales pattern is tied to
the overall performance of the economy and to the level of trucking activity.

| | Other
Income
| | ------------

Other income in 2004 includes a gain
of approximately $6,000,000 due to the sale of assets.

| | Gross
Profit Margins
| | --------------------

Consolidated gross profit margin for
2004 decreased 0.6 percentage points from 2003. Gross profit margin was negatively
impacted by higher raw material costs in the Traditional Business.

| | Operating
and Other Expenses
| | ----------------------------

Consolidated operating and other
expenses increased $16,079,000, or 7%, from 2003. The increase in consolidated operating
and other expenses was substantially impacted by $14,943,000 of expenses related to the
Speedco operations in 2004 and a decrease in TDS operating and other expenses of
$13,239,000 which primarily resulted from the divestitures and closures. Consolidated
operating and other expenses were also negatively impacted by higher personnel costs and
the higher translated value of the Euro, Brazilian Real and the South African Rand.

| | Net
Earnings
| | ------------

Consolidated earnings before income
taxes and minority intererst increased $1,002,000, or 1%, from 2003. Consolidated net
earnings in 2004 were $66,880,000, or $3.39 per diluted share, as compared to $60,200,000,
or $3.11 per diluted share in 2003. Consolidated net earnings in 2004 includes $3,700,000,
or $0.19 per diluted share, due to the sale of assets. Consolidated net earnings in 2004
were also favorably impacted by $7,200,000, or $0.37 per diluted share, for the resolution
and reassessment of certain tax matters. Consolidated net earnings in 2003 included
favorable tax adjustments of $3,000,000, or $0.15 per diluted share, due to the resolution
of certain tax matters.

# TRADITIONAL BUSINESS

| | North
America
| | -------------

North America sells to independent
dealers as well as to TDS and other subsidiaries. Sales to TDS and other subsidiaries are
eliminated in consolidation. Accordingly, as TDS locations are divested and become
unaffiliated Bandag customers, sales to independent dealers should benefit.

The table below depicts the breakout
of North Americas retread product sales between TDS and independent dealers:

|(in thousands)               | Year Ended December 31,
|---------------------------- | -----------------------
|Retread Product Sales        | 2004                   
|Sales to Independent Dealers |                        
|Sales to TDS                 |                        
|                             |                        
|Total Retread Product Sales  |                        
|                             |                        

Retread product sales to independent dealers
were influenced by several factors, including increased sales to independent dealers that
purchased TDS locations and the positive effect of translating Canadian dollar foreign
currency denominated results to U.S. dollars of approximately $4,021,000. Retread product
sales for 2004 were negatively impacted by a decrease in volume of 1%, a portion of which
is attributed to the loss of the Roadway business. The decrease in retread product sales
to TDS is primarily due to the divestitures and closures of TDS locations. Net sales were
positively impacted by an adjustment of approximately $1,445,000 related to a reassessment
of dealer marketing program accruals. North America other sales decreased $10,811,000,
which is primarily due to the loss of the Roadway business.

Higher raw material costs and lower
volume primarily resulted in a 2.9 percentage point decrease in North Americas gross
profit margin in 2004 as compared to 2003.

North American operating and other
expenses in 2004 were $1,840,000, or 2%, higher than 2003 expenses. North America
operating and other expenses were negatively impacted by a $1,100,000 adjustment related
to a reassessment of sales tax accruals. North America other income was positively
impacted by a gain on sale of assets of approximately $6,000,000, which included a gain of
$1,937,000 from the sale of certain assets of QDS and a gain of approximately $3,400,000
from the sale of the Chino, California facility. Lower gross profit margin and increased
operating and other expenses primarily resulted in a decrease for North America of
$5,995,000 in earnings before income taxes and minority interest for 2004 as compared to
2003.

| | EMEA
| | ----

Net sales in EMEA increased
$7,625,000, or 9%, from 2003, on a 5% decrease in volume. The increase in net sales is
substantially due to the effect of translating foreign currency denominated net sales to
U.S. dollars of approximately $10,960,000. Gross profit margin increased 1.7 percentage
points from 2003, primarily due to price increases targeted to improve margins.

Operating and other expenses
increased $4,662,000, or 17%, from 2003, primarily due to the higher translated value of
the Euro and higher personnel related costs. Primarily as a result of higher operating
expenses, partially offset by higher net sales and gross margin, EMEA recorded income
before income taxes and minority interest of $2,789,000 in 2004 as compared to $3,442,000
in 2003.

| | International
| | -------------

International net sales increased
$12,199,000, or 13%, from 2003 on a 4% increase in volume. Net sales were positively
impacted by approximately $5,242,000 due to the effect of translating foreign currency
denominated net sales to U.S. dollars and by price increases in Brazil. Gross profit
margin for 2004 decreased slightly from the prior year.

Operating and other expenses
increased $2,506,000, or 12%, from 2003, primarily due to the higher translated value of
the foreign Brazilian Real and the South African Rand. Primarily as a result of higher net
sales, partially offset by higher operating and other expenses, earnings before income
taxes and minority interest increased $1,784,000 in 2004 as compared to 2003.

-22-

---

# TIRE DISTRIBUTION
SYSTEMS, INC.

TDS net sales decreased $38,932,000,
or 16%, as compared to 2003, primarily due to the divestitures and closures, throughout
2004 and 2003. These divested and closed locations had sales of approximately $60,504,000
and $115,592,000 for 2004 and 2003, respectively. TDS gross profit margin increased 0.4
percentage points from 2003.

Operating and other expenses
decreased $13,239,000, or 21%, primarily due to the divestitures and closures partially
offset by the loss on divestitures of $838,000. TDS recorded earnings before income taxes
and minority interest of $1,506,000 in 2004 as compared to a loss, on the same basis, of
$3,017,000 in 2003.

See OVERVIEW  Sale of TDS
locations hereunder for a discussion of the sale of TDS locations in 2004.

# SPEEDCO, INC.

Speedco, which was acquired February
13, 2004, and its six licensees which were acquired June 10, 2004, had net sales for 2004
of $55,065,000. Speedco recorded earnings before income taxes and minority interest of
$6,249,000 for 2004.

# OTHER

The Companys Other segment
consists of corporate expenses, interest income on invested cash balances and interest
expense on long-term and short-term debt. Corporate expenses were negatively impacted by
increased professional fees and personnel related costs and the higher translated value of
the Euro, Brazilian Real and South African Rand.

# IMPACT OF INFLATION AND
CHANGING PRICES

Historically, it has generally been
the Companys practice to adjust its selling prices and sales allowances to reflect
changes in production and raw material costs in order to maintain its gross profit margin.
To soften the impact of higher raw material costs caused by increases in oil prices the
Company increased selling prices in the United States and Canada effective December 1,
2004, May 1, 2005 and November 1, 2005, and increased selling prices in some foreign
locations during the year. The Company may continue to increase prices if raw material
costs rise further; however, due to competitive pressure and the decreasing difference
between the price on a Bandag retread and a substitute new tire, the Company believes its
ability to continue to pass on such increases may be diminished. The ability of the
Company to raise prices does not eliminate its exposure to pricing risks on its fleet
contract business due to the terms of the agreements.

Replacement of fixed assets requires
a greater investment than the original asset cost due to the impact of general price level
increases over the useful lives of plant and equipment. This increased capital investment
would result in higher depreciation charges affecting both inventories and cost of
products sold.

# FINANCIAL CONDITION

| | Liquidity
and Capital Resources
| | -------------------------------

Prior to June 30, 2005, the Company
classified auction rate securities as part of cash and cash equivalents. The Company has
determined that such securities do not technically meet the Generally Accepted Accounting
Principles definition of cash and cash equivalents and therefore, now classifies these
securities as investments. The December 31, 2004 balance of $136,115,000 has been
reclassified in the Consolidated Balance Sheet to conform with this presentation. Certain
other prior period amounts in the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows have been
reclassified to conform with this presentation. At December 31, 2005, the Company had cash
and cash equivalents of $97,071,000 as compared to $66,646,000 at December 31, 2004. The
sale of tire and wheel assets discussed under Overview  Outsourcing
Agreement contributed $34,023,000 to 2004 cash and cash equivalents. At December 31,
2005, the Company had investments of $60,150,000, as compared to $136,115,000 at December
31, 2004. The Companys ratio of total current assets to total current liabilities
was 2.9 to 1 at December 31, 2005 with current assets exceeding current liabilities by
$311,597,000. The Company believes it has an adequate cash balance for future cash needs.

Net cash provided by operating
activities for the twelve months ended December 31, 2005 was $56,983,000 as compared to
$95,085,000 for the same period of 2004. The decrease in net cash provided by operating
activities for 2005 is primarily due to a decrease in net earnings and increases in
accounts receivable and inventories. The increase in accounts receivable is primarily due
to the price increases. The increase in inventory is primarily due to the increased raw
material costs.

-23-

---

The Company typically funds its
capital expenditures from operating cash flows. During 2005, the Company spent $65,647,000
for capital expenditures as compared to $45,150,000 in 2004. The Company anticipates
capital expenditures of $90,000,000 to $105,000,000 in 2006. The increase in capital
expenditures in 2004, 2005 and 2006 is primarily due to expenditures made and to be made
by Speedco for new facilities and expansion of existing facilities.

On February 13, 2004, the Company
acquired an 87.5% majority interest in Speedco, Inc. from its founders and Equilon
Enterprises, LLC, a Royal Dutch Shell Group company. In total, Bandag paid $53,716,000 for
its 87.5% interest and to assume and retire $20,079,000 of debt. On June 10, 2004,
Speedco, Inc. acquired the assets of six licensed locations, which were owned and operated
by PM Express, Inc. Speedco paid $15,609,000 for these assets. During 2004, the Company
sold 19 TDS locations for cash proceeds of $13,407,000.

The Company invests excess funds over
various terms, but only instruments with an original maturity date of over 90 days are
classified as investments for balance sheet purposes. The Companys maturities of
investments exceeded purchases by $75,965,000 during 2005, resulting in total investments
of $60,150,000 as of December 31, 2005.

As of December 31, 2005, the Company
had available uncommitted and committed lines of credit totaling $72,040,000 in the United
States for working capital purposes. Also, the Companys foreign subsidiaries had
approximately $33,190,000 in credit and overdraft facilities available to them. From time
to time during 2005, the Company borrowed funds to supplement operational cash flow needs
or to settle intercompany transactions. The Companys long-term liabilities totaled
$24,061,000 at December 31, 2005, which is approximately 4% of the combined total of
long-term liabilities and shareholders equity; and is a decrease of $5,902,000 from
December 31, 2004.

During the year, the Company paid
$16,938,000 on short-term notes payable and long-term obligations compared to $7,368,000
in 2004.

Cash dividends totaled $25,774,000 in
2005 compared to $25,164,000 in 2004. Cash dividends per share declared were $1.325 in
2005 compared to $1.305 in 2004.

During the year, the Company
purchased 210,443 shares of Common Stock and Class A Common Stock at an average purchase
price of $38.27 per share, as compared to the purchase of 74,765 shares of Common Stock
and Class A Common Stock at an average price of $38.03 for 2004.

# QUANTITATIVE AND
QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

| | Financial
Risk Management
| | -------------------------

The Company is exposed to market risk
from changes in interest rates, foreign exchange rates, and commodity prices. To mitigate
such risks, the Company enters into various derivative transactions. All derivative
transactions are authorized and executed pursuant to clearly defined Company policies and
procedures, which strictly prohibit the use of financial instruments for trading or
speculative purposes. Analytical techniques and selective derivative instruments are
applied to manage and monitor such market exposures.

| | Foreign
Currency Exposure
| | -------------------------

Foreign currency exposures arising
from cash flow transactions include firm commitments and anticipatory transactions.
Translation exposure is also part of the overall foreign exchange risk. The Companys
exposure to foreign currency risks exists primarily with the Brazilian real, Canadian
dollar, Mexican peso and European Union euro. The Company regularly enters into foreign
currency contracts primarily using foreign exchange forward contracts and options to
manage the foreign currency risks associated with most of its firm commitment exposures.
The Company also employs foreign exchange forward contracts as well as option contracts to
manage the foreign currency risks associated with approximately 40%  60% of its
anticipated future cash flow transactions within the coming twelve months. The notional
amount of these contracts at December 31, 2005 and 2004 were $146,000 and $4,293,000,
respectively. The Company also limits its exposure to foreign currency fluctuations by
entering into offsetting asset or liability positions and by establishing and monitoring
limits on unmatched positions. The Companys pre-tax earnings from foreign
subsidiaries and affiliates translated into U.S. dollars using a weighted-average exchange
rate was $16,720,000 and $16,946,000 for the years ending December 31, 2005 and 2004,
respectively. On that basis, the potential loss in the value of the Companys pre-tax
earnings from foreign subsidiaries resulting from a hypothetical 10% adverse change in
foreign currency exchange rates would have been $1,508,000 in 2005 and $1,540,000 in 2004.

-25-

---

The Company also has foreign currency
exposure arising from the translation of the Companys net equity investment in its
foreign subsidiaries to U.S. dollars. The Company generally views as long-term its
investments in foreign subsidiaries with functional currencies other than the U.S. dollar.
The primary currencies to which the Company is exposed as a result of its investment in
foreign subsidiaries are the European euro, Brazilian real, Mexican peso, Canadian dollar
and South African rand. A 10% change in foreign currency exchange rates from balance sheet
date levels would have impacted the Companys net foreign investments by $11,773,000
and $10,744,000 at December 31, 2005 and 2004, respectively.

| | Interest
Rate Exposure
| | ----------------------

In order to mitigate the impact of
fluctuations in the general level of interest rates, the Company generally maintains a
large portion of its debt as fixed rate in nature by borrowing on a long-term basis. At
December 31, 2005 and 2004, the Company had outstanding debt of $11,429,000 and
$17,143,000, respectively. At December 31, 2005 and 2004, the fair value of the
Companys debt was $11,686,000 and $17,734,000, respectively. In addition, at
December 31, 2005 and 2004, the fair value of securities held for investment was
$73,198,000 and $148,727,000, respectively. The fair value of the Companys total
long-term debt and its securities held for investment would not be materially affected by
a hypothetical 10% adverse change in interest rates. Therefore, the effects of interest
rate changes on the fair value of the Companys financial instruments are limited.
Securities held for investment primarily consist of obligations of states and political
subdivisions of a short-term nature.

| | Commodities
Exposure
| | --------------------

Due to the nature of its business,
the Company procures almost all of its synthetic rubber, which is the predominant raw
material used in manufacturing tire tread, at quarterly fixed rates using contracts with
the Companys main suppliers. Historically, the Company increases its selling prices
and sales allowances to reflect significant changes in commodity costs; however, due to
competitive pressures and the decreasing difference between the price on a Bandag retread
and a substitute new tire, the Company believes its ability to continue to pass on such
increases may be diminished. To soften the impact of higher raw material costs caused by
increases in oil prices, the Company increased selling prices in the United States and
Canada effective December 1, 2004, May 1, 2005 and November 1, 2005 and increased selling
prices in some foreign locations during the year. Therefore, the Companys exposure
is limited to the extent selling price increases fail to offset increases in commodity
costs. The ability of the Company to raise prices does not eliminate its exposure to
pricing risks on its fleet contract business due to the terms of the related agreements.

# CRITICAL ACCOUNTING
POLICIES

Bandags financial statements
are based on the selection and application of significant accounting policies, which
require management to make significant estimates and assumptions. The Company believes
that the following are some of the more critical judgment areas in the application of the
accounting policies that currently affect its financial condition and results of
operations. The Companys senior management has discussed the development and
selection of critical accounting estimates and related managements discussion and
analysis disclosures with the audit committee of the board of directors.

| | Accounts
Receivable
| | -------------------

Bandags global credit policies
are corporately determined and managed through business unit credit and financial
management departments to insure compliance with local laws and to effect proper credit
and collections at the country level.

A significant percentage of the
Companys global accounts receivable are obligations of franchisees. The majority of
these accounts receivable are extended within North America. However, Bandag competes in
the global marketplace and credit is also extended outside of the United States. Bandag
continuously monitors political, social and economic risks to insure sound credit
decisions are made within these foreign markets.

Bandag also extends credit in North
America to customers in the trucking and transportation industry. Credit is extended to
large national and regional customers on a contractual basis through Bandag. Smaller
regional and local trucking customers are provided credit through TDS and Speedco.

-26-

---

Management evaluates the
collectibility of accounts receivable based on a combination of factors. In circumstances
where management is aware of a specific customers inability to meet its financial
obligations, a specific reserve for bad debts is recorded against amounts due to reduce
the net recognized receivable to the amount management reasonably believes will be
collected. General reserves for bad debts are maintained based upon the length of time the
receivables are past due and upon historical write-off experience by geographic location.
Credit losses have been within managements expectations.

| | Goodwill
and Trade Name Asset Valuation
| | ---------------------------------------

While goodwill is not amortized, it
is subject to periodic reviews for impairment. The Company utilizes discounted cash flow
methods to review the carrying value of goodwill and trade name assets for impairment
periodically (at least annually) and whenever events or changes in business circumstances
indicate that the carrying value of the assets may not be recoverable. Changes in
estimates of future cash flows caused by items such as unforeseen events or changes in
market conditions could negatively affect the reporting units goodwill and trade
name assets fair value and result in an impairment charge. The Company cannot
predict the occurrence of events that might adversely affect the reported value of
goodwill and trade name assets that totaled $30,987,000 at December 31, 2005; however, the
current fair values of the Companys reporting units goodwill and trade name
assets are in excess of carrying values.

| | Income
Taxes
| | ------------

The Company utilizes the asset and
liability method of accounting for deferred income taxes, which requires that deferred tax
assets and liabilities be recorded to reflect the future tax consequences of temporary
timing differences between the tax and financial statement basis of assets and
liabilities. At December 31, 2005, the Company had net deferred tax assets of $33,833,000.
This balance consists of approximately $40,073,000 of net deferred tax assets primarily
related to the timing of income and deductions for tax versus books, and $6,240,000 of net
deferred tax liabilities primarily related to the unremitted earnings of foreign
subsidiaries. Deferred taxes on the unremitted earnings of foreign subsidiaries are
provided under the assumption that all profits of the foreign subsidiaries will be
repatriated to the United States and all foreign taxes paid will be available to offset
United States taxes. In addition, any deferred tax asset is reviewed annually to determine
the probability of realizing the asset. If it is determined unlikely that the asset will
be fully realized in the future, a valuation allowance is established against the asset.
Refer to Note 11 of the consolidated financial statements for further details.

The Company believes it has a
reasonable basis in the tax law for all of the positions it takes on the various federal,
state and foreign tax returns it files. However, in recognition of the fact that various
taxing authorities may not agree with the Companys position on certain issues, that
the cost of litigation in maintaining the positions that the Company has taken on various
issues might be significant, and that the taxing authorities may prevail in their attempts
to overturn such positions, the Company maintains tax reserves. These reserves, the
potential issues they are intended to cover, as well as their adequacy to do so, are
reviewed both internally and with outside tax professionals on a regular and frequent
basis. Periodic adjustments are made to such reserves to reflect the lapsing of statutes
of limitations, closings of ongoing examinations or commencement of new examinations, and
changes in tax law or interpretations of tax law.

The Company has completed a
preliminary analysis of the repatriation provisions provided by the American Jobs Creation
Act (the Act) that was signed into law on October 22, 2004. The Act created a special
one-time tax deduction relating to the repatriation of certain foreign earnings during
either 2005 or 2004. It was determined that the Act provided no benefit to the Company for
any foreign earnings repatriated during the years ended December 31, 2005 and 2004, and
therefore no amounts have been recognized in the financial statements under the
repatriation provision.

| | Marketing
Programs
| | ------------------

Distribution Management Request (DMR)
is a marketing program designed to increase Company market share by enhancing dealer
capability and franchise value. Enhanced dealer capabilities and franchise values are
achieved primarily through Company-provided financial assistance towards the acquisition
of equipment, service vehicles, facility expansions and other items aligned with Company
goals.

-27-

---

Under the DMR Program, the Company
provides financial assistance primarily in the form of DMR promissory notes from the
dealer to Bandag. The proceeds from the promissory notes can only be used by the dealer
toward the acquisition of equipment (including equipment sold by the Company), service
vehicles, facility expansions and other items aligned with Company goals. The notes have a
term of up to five years. However, if the dealer achieves a business objective, typically
purchasing a specified amount of tread rubber each year, then the Company forgives either
part or all of the principal and interest for that year. The Company records a reduction
in sales for the costs of the program as financial assistance is provided. The DMR reserve
at December 31, 2005, 2004, and 2003 was $13,622,000, $14,189,000 and $15,529,000,
respectively. In 2005, 2004 and 2003, DMR costs of $9,236,000, $7,830,000 and $4,905,000,
respectively, were recorded as a reduction of sales. For those DMR agreements that do not
include notes, the Company records expense and a corresponding liability, or discloses
such agreements in accordance with SFAS No. 5, Accounting for Contingencies.

| | Pension
Plans
| | -------------

The Company accounts for its defined
benefit pension plans in accordance with SFAS No. 87, Employers Accounting for
Pensions, which requires that amounts recognized in financial statements be
determined on an actuarial basis. A substantial portion of the Companys pension
amounts relate to its defined benefit plans in the United States. The Company has not made
any contributions to any of the United States pension plans since plan year 1997 because
the fully funded status of the plans would preclude a tax deduction. SFAS No. 87 and the
policies used by the Company generally reduce the volatility of pension income or expense
arising from changes in the pension liability discount rates and the performance of the
pension plans assets.

An important element in determining
the Companys pension income or expense in accordance with SFAS No. 87 is the
expected return on assets. The Companys long-term rate of return assumption for its
United States plans remains 7.0% as of December 31, 2005. This assumption is based on
expected marginal returns in the equity and fixed income markets. The Company has
historically had returns in excess of 7.0%; however, the Company has experienced losses in
two of the last five years. The Company believes the assumption of future returns is
reasonable.

Each year, the Company determines the
discount rate to be used to discount plan liabilities. The discount rate reflects the
current rate at which the pension liabilities could be effectively settled at the end of
the year. In estimating this rate, the Company looks to rates of return on high quality,
fixed-income investments. The discount rate for December 31, 2005 was 5.50%.

For the years ended December 31, 2005
and 2004, the Company recognized consolidated pre-tax pension expense of $4,751,000 and
$3,976,000, respectively. The Company estimates pension expense will be approximately
$4,900,000 for 2006. Refer to Note 15 of the consolidated financial statements for further
details.

A 50 basis point increase in the
assumed discount rate would have decreased pension and other postretirement benefit
obligations by approximately $10,411,000 at December 31, 2005, and decreased pension and
postretirement benefit costs by approximately $445,000. A 50 basis point decrease in the
assumed discount rate would have increased pension and other postretirement benefit
obligations by approximately $11,710,000 at December 31, 2005, and increased pension and
postretirement benefit costs by approximately $480,000. A 50 basis point increase or
decrease in the assumed expected long-term rate of return on plan assets would have
decreased or increased pension costs by approximately $515,000 for 2005, respectively.

# NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARDS

On December 16, 2004, the Financial
Accounting Standard Board (FASB) issued FASB Statement No. 123 (revised 2004),
Share-Based Payment (SFAS No. 123(R)), which is a revision of FASB Statement
No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation. SFAS No. 123(R) supersedes
APB Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees, and amends FASB
Statement No. 95, Statement of Cash Flows. Generally the approach in SFAS No.
123(R) is similar to the approach described in SFAS No. 123. However, SFAS No. 123(R)
requires all share-based payments to employees, including grants of employee stock
options, to be recognized in the income statement based on their fair values. The Company
is currently evaluating the impact of adopting SFAS No. 123(R) but does not expect a
material impact.

# Report of Management

We are responsible for the
preparation and integrity of the consolidated financial statements appearing in our Annual
Report on Form 10-K. The consolidated financial statements were prepared in conformity
with United States generally accepted accounting principles and include amounts based on
managements estimates and judgments. All other financial information in this report
has been presented on a basis consistent with the information included in the financial
statements.

We are also responsible for
establishing and maintaining adequate internal controls over financial reporting. We
maintain a system of internal controls that is designed to provide reasonable assurance as
to the fair and reliable preparation and presentation of the consolidated financial
statements, as well as to safeguard assets from unauthorized use or disposition.

Our control environment is the
foundation for our system of internal controls over financial reporting and is embodied in
our Global Ethics Policy. It sets the tone of our organization and includes factors such
as integrity and ethical values. Our internal controls over financial reporting are
supported by formal policies and procedures which are reviewed, modified and improved as
changes occur in business conditions and operations.

The Audit Committee of the Board of
Directors, which is composed solely of outside directors, meets periodically with members
of management, the internal auditors and the independent auditors to review and discuss
internal controls over financial reporting and accounting and financial reporting matters.
The independent auditors and internal auditors report to the Audit Committee and
accordingly have full and free access to the Audit Committee at any time.

We conducted an evaluation of the
effectiveness of our internal controls over financial reporting based on the framework in
Internal ControlIntegrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring
Organizations of the Treadway Commission. This evaluation included review of the
documentation of controls, evaluation of the design effectiveness of controls, testing of
the operating effectiveness of controls and a conclusion on this evaluation. Although
there are inherent limitations in the effectiveness of any system of internal controls
over financial reporting, based on our evaluation, we have concluded that our internal
controls over financial reporting were effective as of December 31, 2005.

Ernst & Young LLP, an independent
registered public accounting firm, has issued an attestation report on managements
assessment of internal control over financial reporting, which is included herein.

# Report of Independent
Registered Public Accounting Firm

Shareholders and Board of
DirectorsBandag, Incorporated

We have audited managements
assessment, included in the accompanying Report of Management, that Bandag, Incorporated
maintained effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2005,
based on criteria established in Internal ControlIntegrated Framework issued by the
Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (the COSO criteria).
Bandag, Incorporateds management is responsible for maintaining effective internal
control over financial reporting and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal
control over financial reporting. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on
managements assessment and an opinion on the effectiveness of the companys
internal control over financial reporting based on our audit.

We conducted our audit in accordance
with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those
standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about
whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material
respects. Our audit included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial
reporting, evaluating managements assessment, testing and evaluating the design and
operating effectiveness of internal control, and performing such other procedures as we
considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable
basis for our opinion.

A companys internal control
over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding
the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for
external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A
companys internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and
procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail,
accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the
company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to
permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made
only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (3)
provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized
acquisition, use, or disposition of the companys assets that could have a material
effect on the financial statements.

Because of its inherent limitations,
internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also,
projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk
that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree
of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

In our opinion, managements
assessment that Bandag, Incorporated maintained effective internal control over financial
reporting as of December 31, 2005, is fairly stated, in all material respects, based on
the COSO criteria. Also, in our opinion, Bandag, Incorporated maintained, in all material
respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2005,
based on the COSO criteria.

We also have audited, in accordance
with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the
consolidated balance sheets of Bandag, Incorporated as of December 31, 2005 and the
related consolidated statements of earnings, cash flows and changes in shareholders
equity for each of the years ended December 31, 2005, 2004 and 2003, and our report dated
February 28, 2006 expressed an unqualified opinion thereon.

# Report of Independent
Registered Public Accounting Firm

Shareholders and Board of
DirectorsBandag, Incorporated

We have audited the accompanying
consolidated balance sheets of Bandag, Incorporated as of December 31, 2005 and 2004, and
the related consolidated statements of earnings, cash flows and changes in
shareholders equity for each of the years ended December 31, 2005, 2004 and 2003.
Our audits also included the financial statement schedule listed in the Index at Item
15(2). These financial statements are the responsibility of the Companys management.
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and schedule
based on our audits.

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

In our opinion, the financial
statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated
financial position of Bandag, Incorporated at December 31, 2005 and 2004, and the
consolidated results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the years ended
December 31, 2005, 2004 and 2003, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting
principles. Also, in our opinion, the related financial statement schedule, when
considered in relation to the basic financial statements taken as a whole, presents fairly
in all material respects the information set forth therein.

We also have audited, in accordance
with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the
effectiveness of Bandag Incorporateds internal control over financial reporting as
of December 31, 2005, based on criteria established in Internal ControlIntegrated
Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission
and our report dated February 28, 2006 expressed an unqualified opinion thereon.

# Bandag, Incorporated Notes to Consolidated
Financial Statements

# Note 1. Summary of
Significant Accounting Policies

# Principles of
Consolidation:

The consolidated financial statements
include the accounts and transactions of all subsidiaries. Intercompany accounts and
transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The Companys foreign
subsidiaries outside North America have November 30 fiscal year-ends to facilitate
inclusion of their financial statements in the December 31 consolidated financial
statements. The operations in South Africa are consolidated due to Bandag being the
Primary Beneficiary under FASB Interpretation No. 46, revised December 2003
(FIN 46R), Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities.

# Use of Estimates:

The preparation of financial
statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United
States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts
reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ
from those estimates.

# Cash Equivalents:

The Company considers all highly
liquid investments with a maturity of three months or less when purchased to be cash
equivalents. The carrying amounts reported in the consolidated balance sheets for cash and
cash equivalents approximate their fair value.

# Accounts Receivable and
Concentrations of Credit Risk:

Concentrations of credit risk with
respect to accounts receivable are limited due to the number of customers the Company has
and their geographic dispersion. The Company maintains close working relationships with
these customers and performs ongoing credit evaluations of their financial condition. No
one customer is large enough to pose a significant financial risk to the Company. The
Company maintains an allowance for losses based upon the expected collectibility of
accounts receivable. Credit losses have been within managements expectations.

# Accounts Receivable and
Allowance for Doubtful Accounts:

The Company carries its accounts
receivable at their face amounts less an allowance for doubtful accounts. On a regular
basis, the Company evaluates its accounts receivable and establishes the allowance for
doubtful accounts based on a combination of specific customer circumstances as well as
credit conditions and based on a history of write-offs and collections. A receivable is
considered past due if payments have not been received within agreed upon invoice terms.
Accounts receivable are charged to the allowance when the Company determines the
receivables will not be collected. The Company also maintains notes receivable with
certain customers. Interest may be charged on notes and is recognized when paid by the
debtor; however, interest is not charged on accounts receivables.

# Deferred Taxes:

Deferred taxes on the unremitted
earnings of foreign subsidiaries are provided under the assumption that all profits of the
foreign subsidiaries will be repatriated to the United States and all foreign taxes paid
will be available to offset United States taxes. In addition, any deferred tax asset is
reviewed annually to determine the probability of realizing the asset. If it is determined
unlikely that the asset will be fully realized in the future, a valuation allowance is
established against the asset. Refer to Note 11 of the consolidated financial statements
for further details.

# Inventories:

Inventories are valued at the lower
of cost or market. Inventories held by the Traditional Business segment consist mainly of
synthetic rubber, natural rubber and material and equipment used to retread tires. These
inventories are accounted for under the last in, first out (LIFO) method, except for those
inventories carried by the Brazil and Mexico operations which are accounted for under the
first in, first out (FIFO) method.

Inventories held by the TDS segment
consist primarily of new and retreaded tires. New tires represent approximately 65% of the
total TDS inventory with retread tires comprising a majority of the difference.
Inventories held by the Speedco segment consist primarily of lubricants and supplies and
tires. The TDS and Speedco inventories are accounted for under the FIFO method. The FIFO
method is commonly used within the retail tire industry and Management believes the use of
FIFO allows better comparability to other businesses in the industry.

# Bandag, Incorporated Notes to Consolidated
Financial Statements

Approximately 52% and 58% of
year-end inventory amounts at December 31, 2005 and 2004, respectively, were determined
by the LIFO method. The remainder of year-end inventory amounts are determined by the
FIFO method. The excess of current cost over the amount stated for inventories valued by
the LIFO method amounted to approximately $26,046,000 and $20,891,000 at December 31,
2005 and 2004, respectively. During 2004 and 2003, inventory quantities were reduced
which resulted in a liquidation of LIFO inventory layers carried at lower costs which
prevailed in prior years. The effect of the liquidation was to decrease cost of goods
sold approximately $1,766,000 and $1,300,000 for the years ended December 31, 2004 and
2003, respectively.

The Company has commitments to
purchase raw materials in 2006 and 2007 of $166,686,000 and $74,000,000, respectively.

# Property, Plant, and
Equipment:

Provisions for depreciation of plant
and equipment is computed using straight-line and declining-balance methods, over the
following estimated useful lives:

|Buildings               | 5 to 50 years
|----------------------- | -------------
|Building Improvements   | 3 to 40 years
|Machinery and Equipment | 3 to 15 years

Depreciation expense approximated
$26,302,000, $27,182,000, and $26,229,000 in 2005, 2004, and 2003, respectively.

# Goodwill and Other
Intangible Assets:

In accordance with SFAS No. 142,
Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets, goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible
assets, while not amortized, are reviewed at least annually for impairment using the
discounted cash flow method. Separable intangible assets that have finite useful lives are
amortized over their useful lives using the straight-line method over 3 to 5 years. An
impaired intangible asset would be written down to fair value, using the discounted cash
flow method. Intangible amortization expense approximated $840,000, $1,018,000, and
$950,000 in 2005, 2004, and 2003, respectively. Amortization expense is estimated to be
$665,000, $84,000, $5,000, $5,000 and $5,000 for the years 2006, 2007, 2008, 2009 and
2010, respectively.

# Foreign Currency
Translation:

Assets and liabilities of foreign subsidiaries
are translated at the year-end exchange rate and items of income and expense are
translated at the average exchange rate for the year. Exchange gains and losses arising
from transactions denominated in a currency other than the functional currency of the
foreign subsidiary and translation adjustments in countries with highly inflationary
economies or in which operations are directly and integrally linked to the Companys
United States operations are included in income. Net foreign exchange losses, which are
included in engineering, selling, administrative and other expenses in the Consolidated
Statements of Earnings, were $1,979,000, $1,381,000, and $1,750,000 in 2005, 2004, and
2003, respectively.

# Long-Lived Assets:

In accordance with Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 144, Accounting for the Impairment or
Disposal of Long-Lived Assets, when indicators of impairment are present, the
Company evaluates the carrying value of property, plant, and equipment and finite lived
intangibles in relation to the operating performance and future undiscounted cash flows of
the underlying businesses. The Company adjusts the net book value of the underlying assets
to fair value if the sum of the expected future cash flows is less than book value.

# Research and Development:

Expenditures for research and
development, which are expensed as incurred, approximated $7,353,000, $7,063,000, and
$7,238,000 in 2005, 2004, and 2003, respectively.

Financial Statements

# Advertising:

The Company expenses all advertising
costs in the year incurred. Advertising expense was $6,596,000, $3,668,000, and $3,809,000
in 2005, 2004, and 2003, respectively.

# Revenue Recognition:

Sales of tread rubber, equipment, new
tires and retread tires and other tire related products are recorded when title and all
risk of ownership are transferred to the dealer or customer upon receipt of goods at the
dealer or customers place of business. Service revenue is recognized upon completion
of the service. Revenue related to the Companys tire management outsourcing services
is recognized on a per mile basis determined on the number of tire miles traveled by the
customers truck fleets in the month of usage. Revenue related to the sale of
computer hardware or software is recognized when it has been installed for the customer.

# Shipping and Handling
Costs:

Shipping and handling costs are
included as part of cost of products sold in the Consolidated Statement of Earnings.

# Marketing Programs:

Distribution Management Request (DMR)
is a marketing program designed to increase Company market share by enhancing dealer
capability and franchise value. Enhanced dealer capabilities and franchise values are
achieved primarily through Company-provided financial assistance towards the acquisition
of equipment, service vehicles, facility expansions and other items aligned with Company
goals.

Under the DMR Program, the Company
provides financial assistance primarily in the form of DMR promissory notes from the
dealer to Bandag. The proceeds from the promissory notes can only be used by the dealer
toward the acquisition of equipment (including equipment sold by the Company), service
vehicles, facility expansions and other items aligned with Company goals. The notes have a
term of up to five years. However, if the dealer achieves a business objective, typically
purchasing a specified amount of tread rubber each year, then the Company forgives either
part or all of the principal and interest for that year. The Company records a reduction
in sales for the costs of the program as financial assistance is provided. The DMR reserve
at December 31, 2005, 2004 and 2003 was $13,622,000, $14,189,000 and $15,529,000,
respectively. In 2005, 2004 and 2003, DMR costs of $9,236,000, $7,830,000 and $4,905,000,
respectively, were recorded as a reduction of sales. For those DMR agreements that do not
include notes, the Company records expense and a corresponding liability, or discloses
such agreements in accordance with SFAS No. 5, Accounting for Contingencies.

# National Account
Business:

The Company enters into contracts to
supply retreaded tires and other tire-related services through its network of franchised
dealers to large national and regional customers in the North American trucking and
transportation industry. The Company provides various forms of financial incentives to its
dealers to continue the supply of retreaded tires and services on these accounts. In 2005,
2004, and 2003, fleet subsidy expenses of $30,800,000, $21,288,000, and $25,026,000,
respectively, were recorded as a reduction of sales.

# Derivative Instruments
and Hedging Activities:

The Company recognizes all derivative
instruments as either assets or liabilities in the Consolidated Balance Sheets at fair
value. The accounting for changes in the fair value (i.e., gains or losses) of a
derivative instrument depends on whether it has been designated and qualifies as part of a
hedging relationship and further, on the type of hedging relationship. For those
derivative instruments that are designated and qualify as hedging instruments, a company
must designate the hedging instrument, based upon the exposure being hedged, as either a
fair value hedge, cash flow hedge, or a hedge of a net investment in a foreign operation.

The Company primarily uses foreign
currency forward exchange contracts and foreign currency option contracts to reduce its
exposure to foreign currency risk from its forecasted revenue denominated in foreign
currencies. When the dollar strengthens significantly against the foreign currencies, the
decline in the value of future foreign currency revenue is offset by gains in the value of
the forward contract. Conversely, when the dollar weakens, the increase in the value of
future foreign currency cash flows is offset by losses in the value of the forward
contracts. The Company does not actively trade such instruments, nor does it enter into
such agreements for speculative purposes.

# Bandag, Incorporated Notes to Consolidated
Financial Statements

The fair value of the derivative
instruments was zero at December 31, 2005 and 2004. Changes in the fair values of these
instruments are reflected in engineering, selling, administrative and other expenses in
the Consolidated Statements of Earnings because the Company has not designated these
instruments as accounting hedges.

# Accounting for
Stock-Based Compensation:

Effective January 1, 2002, the
Company adopted the fair value recognition provisions of SFAS No. 123, Accounting
for Stock-Based Compensation as amended by SFAS No. 148, Accounting for
Stock-Based Compensation-Transition and Disclosures (the Statement). Under the
modified prospective method of adoption selected by the Company under the provisions of
the Statement, compensation cost of $2,667,000, $2,641,000 and $2,210,000 recognized in
2005, 2004 and 2003, respectively, is the same as that which would have been recognized
had the recognition provisions of the Statement been applied from its original effective
date in 1994. Results for prior years have not been restated. Compensation cost is
recognized as stock-based compensation ratably over the applicable vesting periods.

The Company has historically expensed
stock-based compensation over the explicit service period up to the date of retirement.
Upon adoption of SFAS 123(R) the Company will be required to recognize compensation cost
over the period through the date that the employee is eligible to retire. Recognized
compensation costs for the years 2005, 2004 and 2003 would not have been materially
different had the Company recognized compensation cost over the period through the date
that the employee is eligible to retire.

A summary of the status of the
Companys option activity under the Bandag, Incorporated Stock Award Plan and the
Bandag, Incorporated Stock Grant and Awards Plan is presented below:

The fair value of each option granted
is estimated on the grant date using the Black-Scholes model. The following
weighted-average assumptions were made in estimating the fair value:

|                        | 2005     
|----------------------- | ---------
|Dividend yield          | 3.7%     
|Expected volatility     | 29.4%    
|Risk-free interest rate | 4.2%     
|Expected lives          | 7.7 years

The weighted-average fair value of
options granted during 2005, 2004 and 2003 was $10.29, $11.41 and $6.41 per option,
respectively. The number of options exercisable were 928,717, 681,382, and 495,042 at
December 31, 2005, 2004, and 2003, respectively.

The weighted-average fair value of
restricted stock granted during 2005, 2004 and 2003 was $40.99, $44.69 and $27.68 per
share, respectively.

# New Accounting Standards:

On December 16, 2004, the Financial
Accounting Standard Board (FASB) issued FASB Statement No. 123 (revised 2004),
Share-Based Payment (SFAS No. 123(R)), which is a revision of FASB Statement
No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation. SFAS No. 123(R) supersedes
APB Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees, and amends FASB
Statement No. 95, Statement of Cash Flows. Generally the approach in SFAS No.
123(R) is similar to the approach described in SFAS No. 123. However, SFAS No. 123(R)
requires all share-based payments to employees, including grants of employee stock
options, to be recognized in the income statement based on their fair values. The Company
is currently evaluating the impact of adopting SFAS No. 123(R) but does not expect a
material impact.

# Reclassification:

Prior to June 30, 2005, the Company
classified auction rate securities as part of cash and cash equivalents. The Company has
determined that such securities do not technically meet the Generally Accepted Accounting
Principles definition of cash and cash equivalents and therefore, now classifies these
securities as investments. The December 31, 2004 balance of $136,115,000 has been
reclassified in the Consolidated Balance Sheet to conform with this presentation. Certain
other prior period amounts in the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows have been
reclassified to conform with this presentation.

Certain other prior year amounts have
been reclassified to conform with the current year presentation.

sales of retread materials to dealers performing services under the agreement, were
approximately $27,500,000.

# Note 5. Investments

|Thereafter                         | 

Other obligations consist primarily
of a postretirement medical liability and miscellaneous other liabilities.

Cash payments for interest on debt
were $1,912,000, $2,057,000, and $2,428,000 in 2005, 2004, and 2003, respectively.

The fair values of the Companys
financing arrangements were estimated using discounted cash flow analyses, based on the
Companys current incremental borrowing rates for similar types of borrowing
arrangements. At December 31, 2005 and 2004, the fair value of the Companys
outstanding debt was approximately $11,686,000 and $17,734,000, respectively. Changes in
the market value of the Companys debt does not affect the reported results of
operations unless the Company is retiring such obligations prior to maturity.

At December 31, 2005, the Company had
uncommitted and committed unused lines of credit arrangements totaling $105,230,000. These
arrangements are available to the Company or certain of its international subsidiaries
through various domestic and international banks at various interest rates and expiration
dates.

# Note 7. Goodwill

Goodwill and indefinite-lived
intangible assets are reviewed at least annually for impairment. Separable intangible
assets that have finite lives continue to be amortized over their useful lives.

As of December 31, 2005 and 2004, the
Company tested for impairment of goodwill and non-amortizable intangibles using discounted
cash flow models. As a result of these tests, the Company was not required to recognize
any impairment.

# Note 8. Other Income

Other income includes gain on sale of
assets, lease income, royalties and other miscellaneous items. In 2004 a gain on sale of
assets was recorded for approximately $1,937,000 for the sale of certain assets of QDS and
approximately $3,400,000 for the sale of the Chino, California facility.

# Note 9. Impairment of
Long-Lived Assets

Long-lived assets related to the
Companys North American and Speedco business units were determined to be impaired in
2005 and charges of $1,604,000 and $365,000, respectively, were recorded in engineering,
selling, administrative and other expenses. The fixed assets were determined to be
impaired due to an adverse change in the manner in which the assets were to be used and
were written down to fair value based on appraisals.

# Note 10. Leases

Certain equipment and facilities are
rented under non-cancelable and cancelable operating leases. Total rental expense under
operating leases was $8,364,000, $8,504,000 and $8,454,000 for the years ended December
31, 2005, 2004, and 2003, respectively. At December 31, 2005, future minimum lease
payments under non-cancelable operating leases having initial lease terms in excess of one
year are: $9,900,000 in 2006, $7,574,000 in 2007, $5,098,000 in 2008, $3,950,000 in 2009,
$3,345,000 in 2010, and $19,062,000 in the aggregate for all years after 2010.

The Company has completed an analysis
of the repatriation provisions provided by the American Jobs Creation Act (the Act) that
was signed into law on October 22, 2004. The Act created a special one-time tax deduction
relating to the repatriation of certain foreign earnings during either 2005 or 2004. It
was determined that the Act provided no benefit to the Company for any foreign earnings
repatriated during the years ended December 31, 2005 and 2004, and therefore no amounts
have been recognized in the financial statements under the repatriation provision.

Income taxes paid amounted to
$28,278,000, $27,303,000, and $25,773,000 in 2005, 2004, and 2003, respectively.

# Note 12. Earnings Per
Share

Earnings per share amounts are based
on the weighted-average number of shares of Common Stock, Class A Common Stock, Class B
Common Stock and dilutive potential common shares (restricted stock and stock options)
outstanding during the year.

The following table sets forth the
computation of basic and diluted earnings per share:

Options to purchase 253,812, 143,660
and 745,837 shares of Class A Common Stock were outstanding during 2005, 2004 and 2003,
respectively, but were not included in the computation of diluted earnings per share
because the effect would have been antidilutive.

# Note 13. Operating
Segment and Geographic Area Information

# Description of Types of
Products and Services:

The Company has three reportable
operating segments: Traditional Business, TDS and Speedco. Traditional Business
manufactures precured tread rubber, equipment and supplies for retreading tires and
operates on a worldwide basis. SFAS No. 131 requires segment information to be reported
based on how management internally evaluates the operating performance of their business
units. The operations of the Traditional Business segment are evaluated by worldwide
geographic region. For segment reporting purposes, the Companys operations located
in the United States and Canada together with Open Road Technologies, are integrated and
managed as one unit, which is referred to internally as North America. The
Companys operations located in Europe principally service those European countries,
but also export to certain other countries in the Middle East and Northern and Central
Africa. This collection of countries is under one management group and is referred to
internally as EMEA. The Companys exports from North America to markets
in the Caribbean, Central America, South America and Asia, along with operations in
Brazil, Mexico, Venezuela, South Africa and royalties from a licensee in Australia, are
combined under one management group referred to internally as International.

TDS operates retreading locations and
commercial, retail, and wholesale outlets in the western region of the United States for
the sale and maintenance of new and retread tires to principally commercial and industrial
customers.

Speedco provides quick-service truck
lubrication and routine tire service through company-owned on-highway locations in the
United States.

# Measurement of Segment
Profit and Loss and Segment Assets:

The Company evaluates performance and
allocates resources based primarily on profit or loss before interest and income taxes.
The accounting policies of the reportable segments are the same as those described in the
summary of significant accounting policies.

Intersegment and intrasegment sales
and transfers are recorded at fair market value less a discount between geographic areas
within the Traditional Business. Transactions between the Traditional Business and TDS are
recorded at a value consistent with that to unaffiliated customers.

Other consists of corporate
administrative expenses, net unrealized foreign exchange gains and losses on U.S.
denominated investments, interest income and interest expense. Other assets are
principally cash and cash equivalents, investments, corporate office and related
equipment.

merger and consolidation as Common Stock. However, Class A Common Shareholders are not
entitled to vote, Class B Common Shareholders are entitled to ten votes for each share
held and Common Shareholders are entitled to one vote for each share held. Transfer of
shares of Class B Common Stock is substantially restricted and must be converted to Common

The maximum term of the options is 10 years and the maximum vesting period is 5 years.
Restricted stock granted under the Plan vests over a three year period. The Company
records expense related to the Plan on a straight-line basis over the period the grants

# Note 15. Retirement
Benefit Plans

The Company sponsors defined-benefit pension
plans covering full-time employees directly employed by Bandag, Incorporated, Bandag
Canada Ltd. and certain employees of TDS and in the Companys European operations. In
addition to providing pension benefits, the Company provides certain postretirement
medical benefits to certain individuals who retired from employment before January 1,
1993. Employees who retire after December 31, 1992 and are at least age 62 with 15 years
of service of direct employment with Bandag, Incorporated or Kendon Corporation are
eligible for temporary medical benefits that cease at age 65. The Company uses a September
30 measurement date for the majority of its plans.

The reconciliations of the benefit
obligations, the reconciliations of the fair value of plan assets, and the reconciliations
of funded status of the plans, as determined by consulting actuaries, are as follows:

securities) with maturities under five years.

The Companys weighted-average
asset allocations at September 30, by asset category are as follows:

|                 
|-----------------
|Target           
|Equity securities

|Total            
|                 

The Company expects to fund pension plans
approximately $965,000 in 2006. The Company expects to fund its postretirement plan
approximately $485,000 in 2006. The need for further contributions will be based on
changes in the value of plan assets and the movements of interest rates during each year.
The investment strategy is to achieve an asset allocation balance within planned targets
to obtain an average 7.0% annual return for the long-term. Each year, the Company
periodically reviews with its actuaries its investment strategy and funding needs.

The following benefit payments, which
reflect expected future service, as appropriate, are expected to be paid:

|2011-2015   

The Company also sponsors
defined-contribution plans, covering substantially all employees in the United States.
Annual contributions are made in such amounts as determined by the Companys Board of
Directors and include a potential Company contribution of stock based on earnings per
share. Although employees may contribute up to 75% of their annual compensation from the
Company, they are generally not required to make contributions in order to participate in
the plans. The Company currently provides plans with a variety of contribution levels
(including employee contribution match provisions). The Company recorded expense for
contributions in the amount of $5,003,000, $3,960,000, and $3,835,000 in 2005, 2004, and
2003, respectively. During the years ended December 31, 2005, 2004, and 2003, the Company
issued 18,521, 21,319, and 20,814 shares of Common Stock, respectively. During the years
ended December 31, 2005, 2004, and 2003, the Company issued 20,034, 21,773, and 23,140
shares of Class A Common Stock, respectively. The Common Stock and Class A Common Stock
were all accrued for in the previous years. The Company recorded expense under the plan of
$1,200,000 and $1,600,000 for the years ended December 31, 2004 and 2003, respectively.

Employees in most foreign countries
are covered by various retirement benefit arrangements generally sponsored by the foreign
governments. The Companys contributions to foreign plans were not significant in
2005, 2004, and 2003.

# Note 16. Litigation

Certain litigation arising in the
normal course of business is pending. The Company is of the opinion that the resolution of
such litigation will not have a significant effect on the consolidated financial
statements.

Audra Smith v. Michael Rouse, et
al. and Yolanda Jackson v. Michael Rouse, et al.

Bandag has been named as one of
numerous defendants in two wrongful death actions brought in the Circuit Court of Warren
County, Mississippi: These cases arise from an explosion and fire which occurred on May
17, 2002, at a rubber recycling plant in Mississippi, operated by Rouse Rubber Co.,
(Rouse) killing five employees and seriously injuring at least seven others. Plaintiffs
allege that a rubber recycling machine was dangerously designed or maintained, causing the
explosion, and that Bandag may be passively liable as a joint venturer with
Rouse. Bandag was named in the cases based on its majority ownership of Rouse prior to
1995. Bandag had only limited involvement with the equipment in question while it had an
ownership interest in Rouse. Bandag did not manufacture, operate or repair the equipment
in question.

Bandag was originally named as one of
numerous defendants in the wrongful death actions brought in these two cases; however,
Bandag was dismissed without prejudice from the Jackson case for tactical reasons.
The Smith case claims compensatory damages of $40 million and punitive damages of
$25 million. However, it is unclear from the pleadings whether the plaintiffs seek
punitive damages from all defendants, including Bandag, or only from certain defendants,
not including Bandag. Astec, the manufacturer of the dryer system that exploded, settled
with the plaintiffs in apparently all cases for approximately $45 million. This settlement
will apply as a credit to the remaining defendants. The case activity thus far has been
focused on procedural disputes relating to proper venue. Consequently, discovery on
liability has not begun in the Smith lawsuit.

Bandag has reached an agreement to
settle with all known claimants, including those in Smith andJackson, in
consideration of the payment of a nominal amount. The parties are in the process of
securing the courts approval of the settlement.

# Note 18. Subsequent Event

On December 1, 2004, the Company sold
the business of Bandag in South Africa with a portion of the purchase price consisting of
installment payments to be made over five years. In relation to the installment payments,
Bandag is considered the Primary Beneficiary under FASB Interpretation No. 46,
revised December 2003 (FIN 46R), Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities
and therefore Bandag deferred recognition of the expected net loss. Effective December 1,
2005, Bandag is no longer considered the Primary Beneficiary and due to the foreign
operations reporting on a one month lag, Bandag will record the net loss of approximately
$16,500,000 or $0.83 diluted earnings per share in the first quarter of 2006. The loss is
primarily due to the cumulative translation adjustment of approximately $14,200,000 that
is recorded in the Bandag Consolidated Balance Sheet related to the South African
operation. The loss will not affect Bandags cash flow, but rather will be an
accounting entry which will reduce net earnings.
