(consolidated splitting joint venture with Shanghai Chlor-Alkali Chemical Company, Ltd); “SLIC” refers to Shanghai Isocynate Investment BV (our unconsolidated manufacturing joint venture with BASF AG and three Chinese chemical companies); “HMP” refers to HMP Equity Holdings Corporation (our 100% owned subsidiary that merged into us on March 17, 2005); and “MatlinPatterson” refers to MatlinPatterson Global Opportunities Partners L.P., MatlinPatterson Global Opportunities Partners (Bermuda) L.P. and MatlinPatterson Global Opportunities Partners B, L.P. (collectively, an owner of HMP Equity Trust).

Description of Business

We are among the world’s largest global manufacturers of differentiated and commodity chemical products. We manufacture a broad range of chemical products and formulations, which are marketed in more than 100 countries to a diversified group of consumer and industrial customers. Our products are used in a wide range of applications, including those in the adhesives, aerospace, automotive, construction products, durable and non-durable consumer products, electronics, medical, packaging, paints and coatings, power generation, refining, synthetic fiber industries and textile industries. We are a leading global producer in many of our key product lines, including methylene diphenyl diisocyanate (“MDI”), amines, surfactants, epoxy-based polymer formulations, maleic anhydride and titanium dioxide.

Company

We were formed in 2004 to hold, among other things, the equity interests of Huntsman International, Huntsman Advanced Materials and Huntsman LLC. Huntsman International was formed in 1999 to operate businesses acquired in a transaction among Huntsman International Holdings, Huntsman Specialty Chemicals Corporation and Imperial Chemical Industries PLC (“ICI”).

In February 2005, we completed an initial public offering of common stock and mandatory convertible preferred stock. In connection with our initial public offering, we completed a transaction in which our predecessor, Huntsman Holdings, LLC, became our wholly owned subsidiary, and the existing beneficial holders of the common and preferred members interests of Huntsman Holdings, LLC received shares of our common stock in exchange for their interests (the “Reorganization Transaction”). Also during 2005, we completed a series of transactions designed to simplify our consolidated group’s financing and public reporting structure, to reduce our cost of financing and to facilitate other organizational efficiencies, including the following:

·      On August 16, 2005, Huntsman LLC merged into Huntsman International (the “Huntsman LLC Merger”). At that time, Huntsman International Holdings also merged into Huntsman International (collectively with the Huntsman LLC Merger, the “Affiliate Mergers”). As a result of the Huntsman LLC Merger, Huntsman International succeeded to the assets, rights and obligations of Huntsman LLC.

8




Huntsman International entered into supplemental indentures under which it assumed the obligations of Huntsman LLC under its outstanding debt securities. The Huntsman International subsidiaries that guarantee Huntsman International’s outstanding debt securities now provide guarantees with respect to these securities, and all of Huntsman LLC’s subsidiaries that guaranteed its debt securities continue to provide guarantees with respect to these debt securities. In addition, Huntsman LLC’s guarantor subsidiaries executed supplemental indentures to guarantee all of Huntsman International’s outstanding debt securities.

·      On December 20, 2005, we agreed to pay $125 million to affiliates of SISU Capital Limited and other third parties to acquire the 9.7% of the equity of Huntsman Advanced Materials that we did not already own. In conjunction with this acquisition, we amended our senior secured credit facilities and increased our existing term loan B by $350 million. We used proceeds from the increased term loan, together with approximately $74 million of cash on hand, to acquire the equity interest in Huntsman Advanced Materials, to redeem Huntsman Advanced Materials’ $250 million of outstanding 11% senior secured notes due 2010, to pay $35.6 million in call premiums plus accrued interest, and to pay other related costs. We then contributed our 100% ownership interest in Huntsman Advanced Materials to Huntsman International (the “Huntsman Advanced Materials Minority Interest Transaction”).

As a result of these transactions, we now operate all of our businesses through Huntsman International and substantially all of our debt obligations are obligations of Huntsman International and/or its subsidiaries.

HMP Equity Trust holds approximately 59% of our common stock. Jon M. Huntsman and Peter R. Huntsman control the voting of the shares of our common stock held by HMP Equity Trust. However, the shares of our common stock held by HMP Equity Trust will not be voted in favor of certain fundamental corporate actions without the consent of MatlinPatterson, through its representatives David J. Matlin or Christopher R. Pechock, and Jon M. Huntsman and Peter R. Huntsman have agreed to cause all of the shares of our common stock held by HMP Equity Trust to be voted in favor of the election to our board of directors of two nominees designated by MatlinPatterson.

Accounting for Certain Transactions

The Reorganization Transaction was accounted for as an exchange of shares between entities under common control similar to the pooling method. Our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited) presented herein reflect the results of operations and cash flows as if Huntsman Holdings, LLC and our Company were combined for all periods presented.

The Affiliate Mergers and the Huntsman Advanced Materials Minority Interest Transaction were accounted for as an exchange of shares between entities under common control similar to the pooling method. Huntsman International’s Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited) presented herein reflect the results of operations and cash flows as if Huntsman International Holdings, Huntsman LLC, Huntsman Advanced Materials and Huntsman International were combined for all periods presented.

Huntsman Corporation and Huntsman International Financial Statements

Except where otherwise indicated, these notes relate to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited) for each of our Company and Huntsman International. The differences between our financial statements and Huntsman International’s financial statements relate primarily to the following:

·      purchase accounting recorded at our Company for the step-acquisition of Huntsman International Holdings in May 2003;

·      HMP debt that was reflected at our Company and that was repaid in 2005; and

·      the different capital structures.

9




Principles of Consolidation

Our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited) and Huntsman International’s Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited) include the accounts of our wholly-owned and majority-owned subsidiaries and any variable interest entities for which we are the primary beneficiary. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated.

Interim Financial Statements

Our interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited) and Huntsman International’s interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited) were prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP” or “U.S. GAAP”) and in management’s opinion, reflect all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair presentation of results of operations, financial position and cash flows for the periods presented. Results for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of those to be expected for the full year. These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes to consolidated financial statements included in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2005 for each of our Company and Huntsman International.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Reclassifications

Certain amounts in the consolidated financial statements for prior periods have been reclassified to conform with the current presentation.

2.             Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

We adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 151, Inventory Costs—an amendment of ARB No. 43, on January 1, 2006. SFAS No. 151 requires abnormal amounts of idle facility expense, freight costs, handling costs and wasted material expense to be recognized as current-period charges. It also requires that allocation of fixed production overhead to the costs of conversion be based on the normal capacity of the production facilities. The adoption of SFAS No. 151 did not have an impact on our consolidated financial statements.

We adopted SFAS No. 154, Accounting Changes and Error Corrections—a replacement of APB Opinion No. 20 and FASB Statement No. 3, on January 1, 2006. SFAS No. 154 requires retrospective application to prior periods’ financial statements of changes in accounting principle, unless it is impracticable to determine either the period-specific effects or the cumulative effect of the change or unless specific transition provisions are proscribed in the accounting pronouncements. SFAS No. 154 does not change the accounting guidance for reporting a correction of an error in previously issued financial statements or a change in accounting estimate. We will apply this standard prospectively.

In September 2005, the Emerging Issues Task Force (“EITF”) reached a consensus on Issue No. 04-13, Accounting for Purchase and Sales of Inventory with the Same Counterparty, that requires companies to recognize an exchange of finished goods for raw materials or work-in-process within the same line of business at fair value. All other exchanges of inventory should be reflected at the carrying amounts. This pronouncement is effective for

10




transactions entered into or modified after March 31, 2006. The adoption of EITF Issue No. 04-13 did not have a significant impact on our consolidated financial statements.

In June 2006, the EITF reached a consensus on Issue No. 06-2, Accounting for Sabbatical Leave and Other Similar Benefits Pursuant to FASB Statement No. 43, that concludes that an employee’s right to a compensated absence under a sabbatical or other similar benefit arrangement accumulates; therefore, such benefits should be accrued over the required service period. This pronouncement is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006. We are evaluating this pronouncement to determine its impact on our consolidated financial statements.

In June 2006, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation No. (“FIN”) 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes—an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109. FIN 48 clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in accordance with SFAS No. 109 by prescribing a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. This interpretation is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006. We are reviewing FIN 48 to determine its impact on our consolidated financial statements.

As of June 30, 2006 and December 31, 2005, approximately 15% and 21%, respectively, of inventories were recorded using the last-in, first-out cost method.

In the normal course of operations, we exchange raw materials with other companies. No gains or losses are recognized on these exchanges and the net open exchange positions are valued at our cost. The amount included in inventory under open exchange agreements payable by us at June 30, 2006 was $1.8 million (10.9 million pounds of feedstock and products). The amount included in inventory under open exchange agreements payable by us at December 31, 2005 was $3.8 million (8.8 million pounds of feedstock and products).

4.             Business Disposition and Combination

Sale of U.S. Butadiene and MTBE Business

On June 27, 2006, we sold the assets comprising our U.S. butadiene and MTBE business operated by our Base Chemicals segment. The total sales price was approximately $262 million, of which $192 million was paid at closing, while the additional $70 million will be payable after the restart of our Port Arthur, Texas olefins unit that was damaged in a fire (see “Note 16. Port Arthur, Texas Plant Fire”) and the related resumption of crude butadiene supply; provided that we achieve certain intermediate steps toward restarting the plant and that the restart occurs within 30 months of this sale. The final purchase price also remains subject to a customary post-closing working capital adjustment in the third quarter of 2006. In connection with this sale, we recognized a pre-tax gain of $90.9 million, of which $9.5 million was due to the liquidation of LIFO reserves. We expect to recognize an additional pre-tax gain of $70 million upon completion of the conditions referenced above.

The carrying value of the assets sold at June 27, 2006 was as follows (dollars in millions):

The results of operations of this business have not been classified as a discontinued operation under applicable accounting rules because of the expected continuing cash flows from the MTBE business we continue to operate in our Polyurethanes segment.

In connection with the sale, we agreed to indemnify the buyer with respect to any losses resulting from (i) the breach of representations and warranties contained in the asset purchase agreement, (ii) any pre-sale liabilities related to the pre-sale operations of the assets sold not assumed by the buyer, and (iii) any environmental liability related to the pre-sale operations of the assets sold.  We are not required to pay under these indemnification obligations until claims against us exceed $5 million. Upon exceeding this $5 million threshold, we generally are obligated to provide indemnification for any losses in excess of $5 million, up to a limit of $137.5 million.  We believe that there is only a remote likelihood that we will be required to pay any material amounts under the indemnity provision.  As a result, we have estimated that the fair value of this indemnity at the date of the closing of the sale is minimal, and accordingly, no amounts have been recorded.

Acquisition of Textile Effects Business

On June 30, 2006, we acquired the global textile effects (“Textile Effects”) business of Ciba Specialty Chemicals Inc. for approximately $172.1 million (CHF 215 million) in cash, of which $139.2 million was paid on June 30, 2006 and $32.9 million was paid on July 3, 2006. The amount paid on July 3, 2006 was reflected in restricted cash and accrued liabilities in the accompanying June 30, 2006 condensed consolidated balance sheets (unaudited). This purchase price is subject to a post-closing working capital adjustment that is expected to be finalized in the third quarter of 2006. We acquired the Textile Effects business in order to expand our differentiated chemicals business portfolio. The operating results of Textile Effects will be consolidated with our operating results beginning on July 1, 2006 and will be reported with our Advanced Materials operations as part of our new Materials and Effects segment.

We have accounted for the Textile Effects acquisition using the purchase method in accordance with SFAS No. 141, Business Combinations. As such, we analyzed the fair value of tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed, and we determined that the fair value of net assets acquired exceeded cost. Because the fair value of the acquired assets and liabilities assumed exceeded the acquisition price, the valuation of the long-lived assets acquired was reduced to zero in accordance with SFAS No. 141. The remaining excess was recorded as an extraordinary gain, net of taxes (which were not applicable because the gain was recorded in purchase accounting). The preliminary allocation of the purchase price to the assets and liabilities acquired is summarized as follows (dollars in millions):

This purchase price allocation is preliminary pending finalization of the determination of the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed, including valuation of working capital acquired and pension and other post-retirement benefits assumed, finalization of restructuring plans, estimates of asset retirement obligations and deferred taxes. We are assessing and formulating plans to exit certain activities of the Textile Effects business and expect to involuntarily terminate the employment of, or relocate, certain Textile Effects employees. These plans include the exit of various manufacturing, sales and administrative activities throughout the business through 2009. This preliminary purchase price allocation includes recorded liabilities for workforce reduction, non-cancelable lease termination costs and demolition and decommissioning costs of $56.3 million, $2.3 million and $13.6 million, respectively. We have not yet finalized plans to exit certain business activities and may record additional liabilities for workforce reduction, demolition and non-cancelable lease costs as these plans are finalized. We expect that it is reasonably possible that material changes to the allocation could occur and any changes to our purchase price allocation will be recorded as an adjustment to the extraordinary gain in future periods.

5.             Restructuring, Impairment and Plant Closing Costs

While we continuously focus on identifying opportunities to reduce our operating costs and maximize our operating efficiency, we have now substantially completed our comprehensive global cost reduction program, referred to as “Project Coronado.” Project Coronado was a program designed to reduce our annual fixed manufacturing and selling, general and administrative costs, as measured at 2002 levels, by $200 million. In connection with Project Coronado, we announced the closure of eight smaller, less competitive manufacturing units in our Polyurethanes, Materials and Effects, Performance Products and Pigments segments. These and other actions have resulted in the reduction of approximately 1,500 employees in these businesses since 2000.

As of June 30, 2006 and December 31, 2005, accrued restructuring, impairment and plant closing costs by type of cost and initiative consisted of the following (dollars in millions):

(1)           With the exception of liabilities recorded in connection with business combinations, substantially all of the positions terminated in connection with the restructuring programs were terminated under ongoing termination benefit arrangements. Accordingly, the related liabilities were accrued as a one-time charge to earnings in accordance with SFAS No. 112, Employers’ Accounting for Postemployment Benefits. The remaining accrued liabilities related to these charges of $37.8 million represent workforce reductions to be paid by the end of 2011. Liabilities for workforce reductions recorded in connection with business combinations were accrued in accordance with EITF 95-3, Recognition of Liabilities in Connection with a Purchase Business Combination, and are expected to be paid through 2009.

(2)           The reversal of workforce reduction reserves relates to differences between the actual payments made to employees upon termination and the original estimates of termination payments, redeployment of employees whose positions were originally expected to be terminated, changes to applicable laws and regulations, and revisions to original estimates based on information currently available.

As of June 30, 2006 and December 31, 2005, we had reserves for restructuring, impairment and plant closing costs of $129.1 million and $78.3 million, respectively. During the six months ended June 30, 2006, we recorded additional net charges of $17.0 million (consisting of $4.7 million payable in cash and $12.3 million of non-cash charges) for workforce reductions, other restructuring costs associated with closure or curtailment of activities at our smaller, less efficient manufacturing facilities and write-offs due to the fire at our Port Arthur, Texas plant. During the six months ended June 30, 2006, we made cash payments against these reserves of $26.3 million.

During the six months ended June 30, 2006, our Polyurethanes segment recorded a non-cash restructuring, impairment and plant closing credit of $2.0 million, consisting primarily of a gain on the sale of our Shepton Mallet, U.K. site.

During the six months ended June 30, 2006, our Materials and Effects segment recorded net restructuring charges of $2.0 million, primarily related to the realignment of the technical organization in Bergkamen, Germany. This realignment and other existing initiatives are expected to result in additional restructuring charges of $0.5 million. Also during the six months ended June 30, 2006, our Materials and Effects segment reversed $2.5 million of reserves established in connection with the acquisition of our Advanced Materials business. This reserve reversal was recorded as a reduction to property, plant and equipment in accordance with EITF 95-3, Recognition of Liabilities in Connection with a Purchase Business Combination. In addition, we recorded $72.2 million of liabilities for workforce reduction, non-cancelable lease termination costs and demolition and decommissioning costs related to the Textile Effects acquisition. For more information, see “Note 4. Business Disposition and Combination—Acquisition of Textile Effects Business.”

During the six months ended June 30, 2006, our Polymers segment recorded a non-cash impairment charge of $4.9 million related to capital expenditures and turnaround costs associated with our Australian styrenics business that was previously impaired. The long-lived assets in this business were determined to be impaired in accordance with SFAS No. 144 and an impairment charge was recorded in 2005. Capital expenditures and turnaround costs in this business, which are necessary to maintain operations, are also considered to be impaired immediately after they are incurred. Management continues to evaluate the strategic and operational initiatives related to this business. Capital expenditures and turnaround costs related to this business are expected to result in additional restructuring charges of $22.5 million through 2009.

During the six months ended June 30, 2006, our Base Chemicals segment recorded a non-cash charge of $9.4 million to write off fixed assets that were destroyed and unamortized turnaround costs that will no longer be utilized as a result of the fire at our Port Arthur, Texas facility. For more information, see “Note 16. Port Arthur, Texas Plant Fire.”
