This excerpt taken from the AKS 8-K filed Jul 25, 2006. Six Month Results For the first six months of 2006, the company reported net income of $35.3 million, or $0.32 per share. Those results are net of total non-cash charges of $2.7 million, or $0.02 per share, reflecting the reduction in value of the company’s deferred tax assets as a result of state tax law changes. Net income for the corresponding 2005 period was $68.2 million, or $0.62 per share, after giving effect to charges of $32.6 million, or $0.29 per share, due to state tax law changes. First-half 2006 sales were a record $2,933.2 million, compared to $2,877.1 million for the same period in 2005.
