The information furnished in this report includes primarily normal recurring adjustments and reflects all adjustments which are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair presentation of such financial information. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted pursuant to the requirements of Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 28 – “Interim Financial Reporting” and should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2004.

The results of operations reflected in this report are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations of Tower Automotive, Inc. and all of its subsidiaries on a consolidated basis, as the consolidated financial statements include both debtors and non-debtors. Please refer to Tower Automotive, Inc.‘s Forms 8-K, 10-K and 10-Q as filed with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission for further information.

Chapter 11 Reorganization Proceedings
On February 2, 2005, Tower Automotive, Inc. and its United States subsidiaries (“Debtors”) filed a voluntary petition for relief under Chapter 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code (“Bankruptcy Code”) in the United States Bankruptcy Court Southern District of New York (“the “Court”). The cases were consolidated for the purpose of joint administration. The Debtors are operating their businesses as debtors-in-possession (“DIP”) pursuant to the Bankruptcy Code. An official committee of unsecured creditors has been appointed.

Pursuant to the provisions of the Bankruptcy Code, all actions to collect upon any of the Debtors’ liabilities as of the petition date or to enforce pre-petition date contractual obligations are automatically stayed. Absent approval from the Court, the Debtors are prohibited from paying pre-petition obligations. In addition, as a consequence of the Chapter 11 filing, pending litigation against the Debtors is generally stayed, and no party may take any action to collect pre-petition claims except pursuant to an order of the Court. However, the Debtors have requested that the Court approve certain pre-petition liabilities, such as payments for the retention of certain legal and financial professionals, employee wages and benefits and certain other pre-petition obligations. Since the filing, all orders sufficient to enable the Debtors to conduct normal business activities, including approval of the Debtors’ DIP financing have been entered by

NOTES TO MONTHLY OPERATING REPORT (CONTINUED)

the Court. While the Debtors are subject to Chapter 11, all transactions of the Debtors outside the ordinary course of business will require the prior approval of the Court.

The provisions in Statement of Position 90-7, “Financial Reporting by Entities in Reorganization Under the Bankruptcy Code (“SOP 90-7”) apply to the Debtors’ financial statements while the Debtors operate under the provisions of Chapter 11. SOP 90-7 does not change the application of generally accepted accounting principles in the preparation of financial statements. However, SOP 90-7 does require that the financial statements for periods including and subsequent to the filing of the Chapter 11 petition distinguish transactions and events that are directly associated with the reorganization from the ongoing operations of the business.

Petition Date Financial Information
The financial information filed as of the petition date is subject to change. Tower Automotive may, at a future date, amend its schedules for updated financial information.

Intercompany Transactions
Intercompany transactions between the Debtors have been eliminated in this financial information. Intercompany transactions with the Company’s non-debtor subsidiaries have not been eliminated in these financial statements and are reflected as intercompany receivables and payables.

Adjustments to Previously Filed Information
The accompanying balance sheet as of August 31, 2005 reflects certain adjustments to accrued liabilities, liabilities subject to compromise and stockholders’ deficit identified during the preparation of the Company’s filing on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 2005. These adjustments had the impact of: reducing previously reported accrued liabilities and increasing liabilities subject to compromise by $8.2 million representing the reclassification of certain pre-petition liabilities subject to compromise; reducing previously reported liabilities subject to compromise by $20.9 million representing the adjustment of certain Euro denominated liabilities to current exchange rates and to reduce previously recorded estimates of rejection damages on executory contracts. These adjustments reduced stockholders’ deficit by $20.9 million.

Income Taxes
Tower Automotive accounts for income taxes on a consolidated basis. Accordingly, income tax expense/benefit and income tax assets and liabilities in the accompanying statements of operations and balance sheets, respectively, do not necessarily reflect the entities current income tax position for the periods presented.

DIP Financing
In February 2005, the Court approved a Revolving Credit, Term Loan and Guaranty Agreement (“DIP Agreement”) with a national banking institution as agent for the lenders (“Lenders”) and each of the Lenders.

The DIP Agreement provides for a $725 million commitment of debtor-in-possession financing comprised of a revolving credit and letter of credit facility in an aggregate principal amount not to exceed $300 million and a term loan in the aggregate principal amount of $425 million. The proceeds of the term loan have been used to refinance the Debtors’ obligation amounting to $425 million under the Credit Agreement. The proceeds of the revolving credit loans shall be used to fund the working capital requirements of the Debtors during the Chapter 11 proceedings. Obligations under the DIP Agreement are secured by a lien on the assets of the Debtors (which lien shall have first priority with respect to a significant portion of the Debtors’ assets) and by a super-priority administrative expense claim in each of the bankruptcy cases.

NOTES TO MONTHLY OPERATING REPORT (CONTINUED)

Advances under the DIP Agreement will bear interest at a fixed rate per annum equal to (x) the greatest (as of the date the advance is made) of the prime rate, the Base CD Rate (as defined in the DIP Agreement) plus 1%, or the Federal Funds Effective Rate (as defined in the DIP Agreement) plus 0.5%, plus (y) 1.75%, in the case of a loan under the revolving facility, or 2.25% in the case of the term loan. Alternatively, the Debtors may request that advances be made at a variable rate equal to (x) the Adjusted LIBO Rate (as defined in the DIP Agreement), for a one-month, three-month, six-month, or nine-month period, at the election of Debtors, plus (y) 2.75%, in the case of a loan under the revolving facility, or 3.25% in the case of the term loan. In addition, the DIP Agreement obligates the Debtors to pay certain fees to the Lenders as described in the DIP Agreement.

The DIP Agreement contains various representations, warranties and covenants by the Debtors that are customary for transactions of this nature, including (without limitation) reporting requirements and maintenance of financial covenants.

The Debtors’ obligations under the DIP Agreement may be accelerated following certain events of default, including (without limitation) any breach by the Debtors of any of the representations, warranties, or covenants made in the DIP Agreement or the conversion of any of the bankruptcy cases to a case under Chapter 7 of the Bankruptcy Code or the appointment of a trustee pursuant to Chapter 7 of the Bankruptcy Code.

The DIP Agreement matures on February 7, 2007; however, the Debtors are obligated to repay all borrowings made pursuant to the DIP Agreement upon substantial consummation of a plan of reorganization of the Debtors that is confirmed pursuant to an order of the Bankruptcy Court.

TAX PAYMENT CERTIFICATION
Tower Automotive’s US subsidiaries and Debtors have paid post petition tax payments as due. Tax bills which straddle the bankruptcy filing date have been split and accrued separately as pre petition and post petitions amounts. The post petition amounts have been paid. Sales and payroll taxes for both pre petition and post petition periods have been paid in accordance with the Debtors’ first day motions.

Any exceptions to this certification (amounts under dispute, ongoing audits for post petition periods etc.) are listed below.

We are currently under audit by several states for sales and use tax. Such audits may result in additional amounts due to various state agencies for sales and use tax. However, it is not possible to predict the outcome of such audits at the date of this report.
  The State of Kentucky has notified us regarding failure to file certain sales and use tax returns as due. We intend to file these returns as soon as practicable. We believe that some of these returns will be filed with no amounts due.

Payroll Taxes withheld and paid
All payroll taxes have been paid when due. Amounts shown as not paid (differences) are not due as of the date of this information or reflect payments of taxes withheld in previous periods, which became due in the current period. We periodically withhold and remit payroll taxes in various other state and local jurisdictions which are not listed in this schedule as no amounts were withheld or due during the period.
