CONSTAR INTERNATIONAL INC.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)

(Dollar amounts in thousands, unless otherwise noted)

1. Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and in accordance with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) regulations for interim financial reporting. In the opinion of management, these consolidated
financial statements contain all adjustments of a normal and recurring nature necessary to provide a fair statement of the financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the periods indicated. Results for interim periods should not be
considered indicative of results for a full year. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements and notes thereto contained in Constar International Inc.s (the Company or
Constar) Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2005. The Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts of the Company and all of its subsidiaries in which a controlling interest is maintained.

In accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 144, Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of
Long-Lived Assets (SFAS 144), the Company has classified the results of operations of its Turkish joint venture as discontinued operations in the condensed consolidated statements of operations for all periods presented. The
assets and related liabilities of the joint venture have been classified as assets and liabilities of discontinued operations on the condensed consolidated balance sheets. See Note 16 in Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for
further discussion of the divestiture of the joint venture. Unless otherwise indicated, amounts provided throughout this Form 10-Q relate to continuing operations only.

ReclassificationsCertain reclassifications have been made to prior year balances in order to conform these balances to the current years presentation.

2. Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In December
2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the FASB) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards 123 (revised 2004), Share-Based Payment (SFAS 123R) which requires measurement of all employee
stock-based compensation awards using a fair-value method and the recording of such expense in the consolidated financial statements. In addition, the adoption of SFAS 123R requires additional accounting changes related to the income tax effects and
disclosure regarding the cash flow effects resulting from share-based payment arrangements. In January 2005, the SEC issued Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 107, which provides supplemental implementation guidance for SFAS 123R. The Company will
recognize compensation expense on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period. The Company adopted SFAS 123R in the first quarter of fiscal 2006. (See Note 10).

In February 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 155, Accounting for Certain Hybrid Financial Instrumentsan amendment of FASB Statements
No. 133 and 140 (SFAS 155). SFAS 155 simplifies the accounting for certain hybrid financial instruments that contain an embedded derivative that otherwise would have required bifurcation. SFAS 155 also eliminates the interim
guidance in SFAS 133, which provides that beneficial interests in securitized financial assets are not subject to the provisions of SFAS 133. SFAS 155 is effective for all financial instruments acquired or issued after the beginning of an
entitys first fiscal year that begins after September 15, 2006. SFAS 155 is required to be adopted by the Company in the first quarter of fiscal 2007. The Company does not expect the adoption of SFAS 155 to have a material impact on our
results of operations and financial condition.

In March 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 156, Accounting for Servicing of
Financial Assetsan amendment of FASB Statement No. 140 (SFAS 156). SFAS 156 requires that all separately recognized

servicing assets and servicing liabilities be initially measured at fair value, if practicable. The statement permits, but does not require, the subsequent
measurement of servicing assets and servicing liabilities at fair value. SFAS 156 is effective as of the beginning of an entitys first fiscal year that begins after September 15, 2006. SFAS 156 is required to be adopted by the Company in
the first quarter of fiscal 2007. The Company does not expect the adoption of SFAS 156 to have a material impact on our results of operations or financial condition.

In June 2006, the FASB issued Interpretation No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes (FIN 48). FIN 48 clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in
financial statements in accordance with SFAS No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes.This interpretation prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute of tax positions taken or expected to be taken on a tax
return. This interpretation is effective for the Company beginning January 1, 2007. We are currently evaluating the impact FIN 48 will have on our financial statements.

At June 30, 2006, there was $5.0 million outstanding under letters of credit.

The Revolver Loan imposes maximum capital expenditures of $42.5 million in 2006, $47.5 million in 2007 and $47.5 million in 2008. These capital
expenditure covenants allow for the carry forward of a certain amount of spending below covenant levels in previous periods. In 2005, Constar spent $32.6 million in capital expenditures, allowing $9.3 million to be carried over to 2006, so that the
effective capital expenditure limit for 2006 is $51.8 million. Constar currently expects to spend between $30.0 million and $35.0 million in capital expenditures in 2006. In order to satisfy significant business awards, including those relating to
conversions from other forms of packaging, the Company may need to purchase additional equipment. To the extent such purchases would cause the Company to exceed the capital expenditure restrictions of the Revolver Loan, the Company would have to
obtain the lenders consent before making such purchases. There can be no assurances that the lenders would grant any such consent.

Liquidity, defined as cash and availability under the Revolver Loan, is a key measure of the Companys ability to finance its operations. The principal determinant of 2006 liquidity will be financial performance including the following
factors:



| |  |  | achievement of the Companys operating plan,
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------



| |  |  | changes in working capital,
| | - |  | ---------------------------



| |  |  | interest payments on the Companys debt,
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------



| |  |  | the amount and timing of contributions to the Companys pension plans, and
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | the amount and timing of capital expenditures.
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------

Liquidity
will vary on a daily, monthly and quarterly basis based upon the seasonality of the Companys sales as well as the factors mentioned above. The Companys cash requirements are typically greater during the first and second quarters of each
fiscal year because of the build up of inventory levels in anticipation of the seasonal sales increase during the warmer months and the collection cycle from customers following the higher seasonal sales.

The Company currently believes its anticipated liquidity will be adequate to finance its operations during 2006. However, actual results have differed
from expectations in the past and may do so in the future as a result of several factors, including but not limited to: changes in sales and sales mix, operating performance in the Companys European operations, the impact of higher fuel and
energy related costs, the impact of changes in resin costs on a particular quarter, currency fluctuations and the other factors discussed under Risk Factors in the Companys Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended
December 31, 2005 and subsequent Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q.

7. Restructuring

In 2003, the Company announced its plans to implement a cost reduction initiative (2003 Plan) under which it closed facilities in Birmingham, Alabama and in Reserve, Louisiana. The restructuring reserve
balance at June 30, 2006 represents lease termination costs which are expected to be paid in 2006.

The following table presents an
analysis of the 2003 Plans restructuring reserve activity for the six months ended June 30, 2006:



|                             |  |                       |       |

|                             |  |                       |       |  
|Balance at June 30, 2006     |  | $                     | 563   |  
|                             |  |                       |       |  

In 1997, the Company implemented a restructuring plan (1997 Plan) which included the
reorganization and closing of manufacturing locations within the U.S. The balance in the restructuring reserves, which represents exit costs for the closed facilities associated with the 1997 Plan, was $390 and $467 as of June 30, 2006 and
December 31, 2005, respectively. The Company expects that all payments pertaining to this initiative will be paid out in 2006.

During
the quarter ended June 30, 2006, the Company charged $371 of severance costs related to our UK operations to restructuring expense.

The restructuring reserves are reported in accounts payable and accrued liabilities on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Commitments and Contingencies

The Company and certain of its present and former directors, along with Crown Holdings, Inc., as well as
various underwriters, have been named as defendants in a consolidated putative securities class action lawsuit filed in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania, In re Constar International Inc. Securities Litigation
(Master File No. 03-CV-05020). This action consolidates previous lawsuits, namely Parkside Capital LLC v. Constar International Inc et al.(Civil Action No. 03-5020), filed on September 5, 2003 and Walter Frejek v. Constar
International Inc. et al. (Civil Action No. 03-5166), filed on September 15, 2003. The consolidated and amended complaint, filed June 17, 2004, generally alleges that the registration statement and prospectus for the Companys
initial public offering of its common stock on November 14, 2002 contained material misrepresentations and/or omissions. Plaintiffs claim that defendants in these lawsuits violated Sections 11 and 15 of the Securities Act of 1933.
Plaintiffs seek class action certification and an award of damages and litigation costs and expenses. Under the Companys charter documents, an agreement with Crown and an underwriting agreement with Crown and the underwriters, Constar has
incurred certain indemnification and contribution obligations to the other defendants with respect to this lawsuit. The court denied the Companys motion to dismiss for failure to state a claim upon which relief may be granted on June 7,
2005 and the Companys answer was filed on August 8, 2005. The Special Master issued a Report and Order denying the Companys motion for judgment on the pleadings on February 22, 2006. The Company filed objections to the Report
and Order on March 6, 2006. The court heard the objections on May 1, 2006 and issued an order overruling the objections on May 24, 2006. The case is now proceeding with class certification and discovery. The Company believes the
claims in the action are without merit and intends to defend against them vigorously. The Company cannot reasonably estimate the amount of any loss that may result from this matter.

On November 15, 2005, Constar filed a lawsuit against Honeywell International Inc.
(Honeywell) and Ball Plastic Container Corp. (Ball) in the United States District Court for the Western District of Wisconsin, captioned Constar International Inc. v. Ball Plastic Container Corp. and Honeywell
International Inc. The lawsuit alleged that Balls use of Honeywells Aegis Ox and Aegis HFX oxygen scavenging nylon resins in plastic beer and juice containers infringes Constars patent rights, and that Honeywell induced such infringement by selling such resins to Ball. Constars complaint
sought an injunction against further infringement and unspecified money damages for past infringement. Both Ball and Honeywell asserted counterclaims alleging that Constars patent at issue is invalid and unenforceable. In February 2006,
Constar and Honeywell settled all claims between them regarding this action. In July 2006, Constar and Ball settled all claims between them regarding this action.

The Company reached an agreement regarding its dispute of certain pricing provisions of a customer contract.

10. Stock-Based Compensation

The Company has a stock-based incentive compensation plan (the 2002 Plan) under which employees may be granted deferred stock, restricted stock, stock appreciation rights (SAR) and incentive or
non-qualified stock options. The Company also has a plan (the Directors Plan) under which non-employee directors may be granted restricted stock or non-qualified stock options to purchase shares of Common Stock. The 2002 Plan and the
Directors Plan, together, are referred to hereafter as the Option Plans.

Options granted are to be issued at prices equal to
at least fair market value and expire up to ten years after the grant date in the case of the 2002 Plan and up to five years after the grant date in the case of the Directors Plan. The plan is administrated by the Compensation Committee of the Board
of Directors, which determines the vesting provisions, the form of payment for shares and all other terms of the options or grants. The maximum number of shares reserved under the 2002 Plan is 850,000 shares. At June 30, 2006, 38,989 shares
were available for future grants. The maximum number of shares reserved under the Directors Plan is 25,000. At June 30, 2006, 10,667 shares were available for future grants.

Effective January 1, 2006, the Company adopted the fair value measurement and recognition provisions of SFAS No. 123R Share-Based
Payment, using the modified prospective basis transition method. Under this method, stock-based compensation expense recognized in the first six months of 2006 includes: (a) compensation expense for all share-based payments granted prior
to, but not yet vested as of January 1, 2006, based on the grant date fair values estimated in accordance with the original provisions of SFAS 123, and (b) compensation expense for all share-based payments granted subsequent to
January 1, 2006, determined under the provisions of SFAS 123R. The fair value of restricted stock awards is the average market price of the Companys common stock at the date of grant. Restricted stock units (RSUs) are classified as
liabilities in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements. The fair value of the liabilities related to the RSUs is remeasured at each balance sheet date. Adjustments to the fair value of the RSU liabilities are recorded as
compensation expense.

The aggregate intrinsic value in the table above represents the total pre-tax intrinsic value (the
difference between the Companys closing common stock price on the last trading day of the second quarter of 2006 and the exercise price, multiplied by the number of in-the-money options) that would have been received by the option holders had
all option holders exercised their options on June 30, 2006. The aggregate intrinsic value varies based on the fair market value of the Companys common stock. The total number of in-the-money options exercisable as of June 30, 2006
was zero.

The following table summarizes restricted stock activity during the six months ended June 30, 2006:

As of June 30, 2006, there was $1.4 million of unrecognized stock-based compensation cost
related to restricted stock which is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 2.3 years.

As of June 30, 2006,
the Company had 49,000 restricted stock units (RSUs) outstanding. The RSUs were issued under the Companys Annual Incentive and Management Stock Purchase Plan and cliff-vest three years from the grant date. The Company
has assumed a 10% rate of forfeiture. The fair value of the liability associated with the outstanding RSUs was $0.1 million as of June 30, 2006.

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2006, stock-based compensation expense totaled $0.2 million and $0.4 million, respectively. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2005, stock-based
compensation expense totaled $0.1 million and $0.2 million, respectively.

11. Earnings (Loss) Per Common Share

Basic earnings (loss) per common share is computed by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the
period. Diluted earnings (loss) per common share (Diluted EPS) is computed by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period after giving effect to all potentially dilutive
securities outstanding during the period.

The Companys potentially dilutive securities include potential common shares related to
our stock options and restricted stock. Diluted EPS includes the impact of potentially dilutive securities except in periods in which there is a loss because the inclusion of the potential common shares would be anti-dilutive. Diluted EPS also
excludes the impact of potential common shares related to our stock options in periods in which the option exercise price is greater than the average market price of our common stock for the period.

The following table presents a reconciliation between the weighted average number of basic shares outstanding and the weighted average number of fully
diluted shares outstanding:

Diluted EPS for the three months ended June 30, 2006 excludes approximately 0.2 million
stock options because the option price was greater than the average market price of our common stock. Diluted EPS for the six months ended June 30, 2006 excludes approximately 0.3 million shares of restricted stock, and 0.2 million
stock options because the option price was greater than the average market price or our common stock.

Diluted EPS for the three and six
months ended June 30, 2005 excludes approximately 0.4 million shares of restricted stock, and 0.2 million stock options because the option price was greater than the average market price of our common stock.

12. Pension and Postretirement Benefits

The U.S. salaried and hourly personnel participate in a defined benefit pension plan. The benefits under this plan for salaried employees are based
primarily on years of service and remuneration near retirement. The benefits for hourly employees are based primarily on years of service and a fixed monthly multiplier. Plan assets consist principally of common stocks and fixed income securities.

In the U.S., the Company sponsors unfunded plans to provide health care and life insurance benefits to pensioners and survivors.
Generally, the medical plans pay a stated percentage of medical expenses reduced by deductibles and other coverage. Life insurance benefits are generally provided by insurance contracts. The Company reserves the right, subject to existing
agreements, to change, modify or discontinue the plans.

Employees of our U.K. operation may participate in a contributory pension plan
with a benefit based on years of service and final salary. Participants contribute 5% of their salary each year and the U.K. operation contributes the balance, which is currently approximately 21.9% of their salary. The assets of the plan are held
in a trust and are primarily invested in equity securities.

Employees of our Netherlands operation are entitled to a retirement benefit
based on years of service and final salary. The plan is financed via participating annuity contracts and the values of the participation rights approximate the unfunded service obligation based on future compensation increases.

The components of the pension and postretirement benefit expense/(income) for the Companys plans were as follows:

14. Income Taxes

During the six months ended June 30, 2006 the company recorded a valuation allowance of $2.8 million to offset net operating losses and deferred tax assets generated for the U.S. and foreign operations during
fiscal 2006. The Company does not currently anticipate realizing deferred tax assets to the extent assets exceed deferred tax liabilities.

15.
Derivative Financial Instruments (Cash Flow Hedge)

The Company reviews opportunities and options to reduce the Companys financial
risks and exposure. The Company may enter into a derivative instrument by approval of the Companys executive management based on guidelines established by the Companys Board of Directors. Market and credit risks associated with this
instrument are regularly reviewed by the Companys executive management.

The Company has an interest rate swap for a notional amount
of $100.0 million relating to its Senior Notes. The Company effectively exchanged its floating interest rate of LIBOR plus 3.375% for a fixed rate of 7.9% over the remaining term of the underlying notes. The objective and strategy for undertaking
this Interest Rate Swap was to hedge the exposure to variability in expected future cash flows as a result of the floating interest rate associated with the Companys debt due in 2012.

The Company accounted for this interest rate swap as a cash flow hedge and assumes that there is no ineffectiveness in the hedging relationship and
recognizes in other comprehensive income the entire change in the fair value of the swap. The fair value of the interest rate swap asset was $4.9 million at June 30, 2006 and $1.4 million at December 31, 2005. For the six months ended
June 30, 2006, the Company recorded an unrealized gain in other comprehensive income of $3.5 million.

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

Overview

The Company is a manufacturer of PET plastic containers for food and beverages. Approximately 80 percent of the Companys revenues
in the first half of 2006 were generated in the United States, with the remainder attributable to its European operations. During the first half of 2006, one customer accounted for approximately 33 percent of the Companys consolidated
revenues, while the top ten customers accounted for an aggregate of approximately 70 percent of the Companys consolidated revenues. Approximately 74 percent of the Companys sales in the first half of 2006 related to conventional PET
containers which are primarily used for carbonated soft drinks and bottled water. Profitability is driven principally by price, volume and maintaining efficient manufacturing operations. In recent years, the largest growth within conventional
products has come from bottled water. The Company believes that over time, growth and profitability from bottled water may decline as economic factors force some water bottlers into self manufacturing of PET bottles or out of business. The Company
does not expect growth in the carbonated soft drink market in the near term due to consumer preference for healthier beverages.

In
addition to the conventional product lines, the Company is also a producer of higher margin custom products that are used in such packaging applications as hot-filled beverages, food, beer and flavored alcoholic beverages, most of which require
containers with special performance characteristics. Approximately 20 percent of the Companys sales in the first half of 2006 related to custom PET containers. Critical success factors in the custom PET market include technology, design
capabilities and expertise with specialized equipment. The technology required to produce certain types of custom products is commonly available, which has resulted in increased competition and lower margins for such products.

In recent years, the PET packaging industry has experienced very competitive pricing conditions. Pricing pressure continues especially for custom
products that can be produced with commercially available technology. Pricing pressure for conventional products and domestic conventional capacity continues to remain tight. Most of the Companys business, both in conventional and custom PET
products, is subject to long term contracts with major consumer packaged goods producers. Some of these contracts come up for renewal each year, and are often offered to the market for competitive bidding. The Companys main contract
with PepsiCo, its largest customer, expires on December 31, 2007.

In negotiations with certain customers for the continuation and the
extension of supply agreements, predominantly in the custom segment, the Company has agreed to price concessions. These concessions have been partially offset by energy surcharges and other provisions obtained under new contracts for conventional
business that renewed since the Company implemented its strategic value initiative in the fourth quarter of 2005. The net negative impact of contractual pricing is currently expected to be approximately $3.0 million in 2006, which is expected to
predominately impact the second half of the year. Under its strategic value initiative, the Company has presented to conventional customers whose contracts are up for renewal a new contract structure with integrated terms and conditions, service
level options, and pricing components that give the customer the flexibility to choose from a set of service options that are priced as additions to a negotiated base product price. In addition to the revenue gain from higher prices under the new
contracts, the Company believes the new structure will enable it to reduce costs by limiting services it must provide when a customer chooses a lower price that does not entitle the customer to such services.

The Company believes that it will continue to face two significant sources of pricing pressure. The first source is customer consolidation. When
customers merge or purchase through buying cooperatives and thereby aggregate purchasing power, the profitability of Constars business tends to decline. The Company will negotiate aggressively and seek to minimize the impact of customer
consolidation. The second source of pricing pressure is contractual provisions that permit customers to terminate contracts if the customer receives an offer from another manufacturer that the Company chooses not to match. The Company is continuing
to seek to remove, or lessen the impact of, these provisions in all new contracts and contract renewals.

Constars gross margin, excluding depreciation expense, was 10.9 percent in the first half of 2006
as compared to 8.3 percent for the same period in 2005. This margin improvement is a result of the Companys effort to improve customer and product mix, increase prices on certain products, and the impact of the Companys strategic value
initiative, partially offset by unfavorable foreign currency translations which reduced sales by approximately 2.0 percent of sales from the six months of 2005. The Companys ability to sustain and grow its operating margins will depend on the
extent of the Companys ongoing success in these efforts. Constar has recently operated at high utilization rates; however, the Company does not intend to invest in additional capacity in the low margin conventional business until overall
margins and prices increase to levels where acceptable returns can be achieved and sustained.

The primary raw material and component cost
of the Companys products is PET resin, which is a commodity available globally. The price of PET resin is subject to frequent fluctuations as a result of raw material costs, overseas markets, PET production capacity and seasonal demand. The
price of PET resin has declined through the first half of 2006; however the Company anticipates significantly higher prices in the third quarter due to increases in petrochemical product costs. Constar is one of the largest purchasers of PET resin
in North America, which it believes provides it with negotiating leverage. However, higher resin prices may impact the demand for PET packaging where customers have a choice between PET and other forms of packaging.

Substantially all of the Companys sales are made pursuant to contracts that allow for the pass-through of changes in the price of PET resin to its
customers. Period-to-period comparisons of gross profit and gross profit as a percentage of sales may not be meaningful indicators of actual performance, because the effects of the pass-through mechanisms are affected by the magnitude and timing of
resin price changes.

PET bottle manufacturing is capital intensive, requiring both specialized production equipment and significant
support infrastructure for power, high pressure air and resin handling. Constar believes that there are significant opportunities for the conversion of glass containers to PET containers for bottled teas, beer, flavored alcoholic beverages and food
applications. These conversion opportunities will require significant capital expenditures to obtain the appropriate production equipment. The Companys credit agreement imposes maximum capital expenditures of $42.5 million in 2006, $47.5
million in 2007, and $47.5 million in 2008. These capital expenditure covenants allow for the carry forward of a certain amount of spending below covenant levels in previous periods. In 2005 Constar spent $32.6 million in capital expenditures,
allowing $9.3 million to be carried over to 2006, so that the effective capital expenditure limit for 2006 is $51.8 million. Constar currently expects to spend $30.0 million to $35.0 million on capital expenditures in 2006. If Constar is awarded a
significant volume of conversions over a short period of time, it may have to seek waivers or amendments to these covenants which it may not be able to obtain on commercially reasonable terms or at all. However, some conversions can be serviced with
the equipment currently devoted to our conventional business and Constar has and will continue to redeploy equipment where possible.

In
order to capture economies of scale, the Company favors large plants located within a few hours driving distance of the major markets that it services. Normally, this proximity helps the Company to minimize freight costs. However, in order to meet
its customers requirements, the Company must sometimes manufacture products out of territory at a plant that is not its closest plant to the necessary delivery location. This increases freight costs, and depending on the
circumstances, the Company may be required to bear these additional freight costs. These out of territory freight costs tend to peak during the second and third quarters, when the Companys customers requirements are at their highest. In
addition, any general increase in freight rates may impact the Companys margins to the extent that its contracts do not permit it to pass the increase through to its customers.

The Company is highly leveraged. As of June 30, 2006, the Companys debt structure consisted of a $70.0 million credit agreement, $220.0
million of secured notes and $175.0 million of subordinated notes. As of June 30, 2006, the Company had $24.2 million borrowed under the credit agreement and $5.0 million outstanding on letters of credit. Interest expense for the six months
ended June 30, 2006 was $20.6 million. Effective March 16, 2006, the Company amended its credit agreement to increase available credit to provide

flexibility during the seasonal buildup of working capital. The amendment eliminated the interest coverage test and reduced the minimum available credit
requirement to $5.0 million from $10.0 million. The amendment also added a requirement that the Company maintain minimum collateral availability in excess of $20.0 million. The Company was in compliance with the financial covenants of these debt
instruments as of June 30, 2006.

The Companys cash flow from operations of $0.4 million was positive through the first half of
2006 mainly due to operating income growth and improved management of working capital.

Consolidated net sales increased by $0.6 million, or 0.2 percent, to $258.5 million in the second
quarter of 2006 from $257.9 million in the second quarter of 2005. This increase in consolidated net sales was primarily driven by increased shipments of custom products, partially offset by unfavorable foreign currency translations, and a slight
decline in conventional unit volumes.

In the U.S., net sales increased $5.0 million, or 2.5 percent, to $205.6 million in the second
quarter of 2006 from $200.6 million in the second quarter of 2005. This increase in U.S. net sales in 2006 was due to increased sales of custom units, improved product mix and the impact of the Companys strategic value initiative, partially
offset by lower unit sales of conventional products. Total U.S. unit volume increased 1.6 percent over the second quarter of 2005. Custom unit volume growth was 34.7 percent, while conventional unit volume declined 4.3 percent.

In Europe, net sales decreased $4.4 million, or 7.7 percent, to $52.9 million in the second quarter of 2006 from $57.3 million in the second quarter of
2005. The decrease in European net sales in the second quarter of 2006 was primarily due to the weakening of the British Pound and Euro against the U.S. Dollar.

Net sales in the U.S. accounted for 79.6 percent of net sales in the second quarter of 2006 compared to 77.8 percent of net sales in the second quarter of 2005.

##### Table of Contents

Gross profit increased $10.8 million to $21.2 million or 8.2 percent of consolidated net sales in the
second quarter of 2006 from $10.4 million in the second quarter of 2005 or 4.0 percent of consolidated net sales. The increase reflects greater custom sales units, favorable product mix, benefits from the Companys strategic value initiative,
improved pricing related to the settlement of a pricing dispute which contributed to approximately 20 percent of the improvement, improved operating efficiencies in our U.S. manufacturing operations and reduced depreciation expense. The second
quarter gross profit gains were partially offset by a non-cash depreciation adjustment of $1.8 million resulting from a review of property, plant and equipment.

Selling and Administrative Expenses

Selling and administrative expenses increased $2.1 million, or 34.4 percent, to
$8.2 million in the second quarter of 2006 from $6.1 million in the second quarter of 2005. This increase in 2006 primarily related to increased compensation expense of $1.0 million, and increased legal, audit, and Sarbanes-Oxley related expenses of
$0.8 million.

Research and Technology Expenses

Research and technology expenses were $1.7 million in the second quarter of 2006 compared to $1.6 million in the second quarter of 2005. The research and technology expenses relate to spending for the Companys
existing proprietary technologies and new emerging technologies.

Asset Impairment Charge

In the second quarter of 2006, the Company recorded a non-cash asset impairment charge of $0.9 million to write down the carrying value of an asset to
fair value.

Provision for Restructuring

These expenses relate to the 2003 restructuring initiative under which the Company closed two facilities operating in Birmingham, Alabama and Reserve, Louisiana and severance and benefit costs associated with the shut down of the plant
operation in Izmir, Turkey.

Operating Income

Operating income was $10.2 million in the second quarter of 2006 compared to $2.6 million in the second quarter of 2005. This increase in operating income in 2006 compared to 2005 was primarily related to the improved
operating performance described above, partially offset by the increase in selling and administrative expenses.

Interest Expense

Interest expense increased $1.1 million to $10.5 million in the second quarter of 2006 from $9.4 million in the second quarter of 2005 as a result of
higher average borrowings and a higher effective interest rate.

Other (Income) Expense, net

Other income was $0.9 million in the second quarter of 2006 compared to other expense of $0.7 million in the second quarter of 2005. The income in 2006
primarily resulted from the positive impact of changes in foreign currency translation rates on intra-company balances and from royalty income.

(Provision for) Benefit from Income Taxes

There was no provision for income taxes related to continuing operations
in the second quarter of 2006 compared to a provision for $0.3 million in the second quarter of 2005. Income from continuing operations

before income taxes was $0.7 million in second quarter of 2006 compared to a loss of $7.5 million in 2005. During the second quarter of 2006, the Company
recorded a valuation allowance of $0.7 million to offset net operating losses and deferred tax assets generated for the U.S. and foreign operations. During the second quarter of 2005, the Company recorded an additional valuation allowance of $1.8
million to reduce certain deferred tax assets in the United States.

Income (loss) from Discontinued Operations, net of taxes

The Companys Turkish joint venture ceased operations in May 2006 and has been classified as discontinued operations for all periods presented.
Unless otherwise indicated, amounts provided throughout the Form 10-Q relate to continuing operations only.

Loss from discontinued
operations was $0.5 million in the second quarter of 2006 compared to income from discontinued operations of $0.1 million in the second quarter of 2005. The decrease in the income in 2006 compared to 2005 was primarily related to the shutdown of the
plant operation in Izmir, Turkey in May 2006.

Net Income (loss)

Net income was $0.2 million in the second quarter of 2006, or $0.01 income per basic and diluted share, compared to a net loss of $7.7 million, or $0.63 loss per basic and diluted share, in the second quarter of 2005.

Consolidated net sales increased by $9.5 million, or 2.0 percent, to $484.2 million in the six
months ended June 30, 2006 from $474.7 million in the six months ended June 30, 2005. The increase in consolidated net sales was primarily driven by the increase in custom sales units, improved product mix, and the impact of the
Companys strategic value initiative, partially offset by unfavorable foreign currency translations.

In the U.S., net sales increased
$17.0 million, or 4.6 percent, to $388.1 million in the six months ended June 30, 2006 from $371.1 million in the six months ended June 30, 2005. This increase in U.S. net sales in 2006 reflects the increase in custom sales units, improved
product mix and the impact of the Companys strategic value initiative. Total U.S. unit volume increased 3.3 percent over the first six months of 2005. This increase reflects custom unit volume growth of 37.4 percent, which was offset by a 2.9
percent decrease in conventional unit volume.

In Europe, net sales decreased $7.5 million, or 7.3 percent, to $96.1 million in the six
months ended June 30, 2006 from $103.6 million in the six months ended June 30, 2005. The decrease in European net sales in the first six months of 2006 was due to the weakening of the British Pound and Euro against the U.S. Dollar
along with the pass through of lower resin costs to customers.

Net sales in the U.S. accounted for 80.2 percent of net sales in the first
six months of 2006 compared to 78.2 percent of net sales in the first six months of 2005.

Gross profit increased $17.0 million to $33.7 million or 7.0 percent of consolidated net sales in
the six months ended June 30, 2006, from $16.7 million or 3.5 percent of consolidated net sales in the six months ended June 30, 2005. The increases reflect the growth in custom sales units, improved product mix, the impact of the
Companys strategic value initiative, improved operating efficiencies in our U.S. manufacturing operations and $3.7 million less in depreciation expense.

Selling and Administrative Expenses

Selling and administrative expenses increased by $3.6 million, or 28.7 percent,
to $15.8 million in the six months ended June 30, 2006 from $12.2 million in the six months ended June 30, 2005. This increase in 2006 primarily related to increased legal fees of $1.4 million, increased compensation expense of $1.4
million, and increased audit and Sarbanes-Oxley related expenses of $0.9 million, partially offset by reduced other spending of $0.2 million.

Research and Technology Expenses

Research and technology expenses were $3.0 million in the six months ended
June 30, 2006 compared to $3.0 million in the six months ended June 30, 2005. The research and technology expenses relate to spending for the Companys existing proprietary technologies and new emerging technologies.

Write off of Deferred Financing Costs

In
connection with its February 2005 refinancing, the Company repaid amounts outstanding under its former revolving loan facility and two term loans. As a result of these repayments, last year the Company wrote off approximately $6.5 million of the
remainder of the deferred financing costs related to those three facilities and incurred prepayment penalties of approximately $3.5 million.

Asset
Impairment Charge

In the second quarter of 2006, the Company recorded a non-cash asset impairment charge of $0.9 million to write
down the carrying value of an asset to fair value.

Provision for Restructuring

Restructuring costs were $0.2 million in the six months ended June 30, 2006 compared to $0.1 million expense in the six months ended June 30,
2005. These expenses relate to the 2003 restructuring initiative under which the Company closed two facilities operating in Birmingham, Alabama and Reserve, Louisiana and severance and benefit costs associated with the shut down of the plant
operation in Izmir, Turkey.

Operating Income (loss)

Operating income was $13.8 million in the six months ended June 30, 2006 compared to an operating loss of $8.7 million in the six months ended June 30, 2005. This increase in operating income in the first
six months



31



---

##### Table of Contents

of 2006 compared to the first six months of 2005 was primarily related to the improved operating performance described above, and the absence in 2006 of the
$10.0 million write-off of deferred financing costs and prepayment penalties associated with the 2005 refinancing.

Interest Expense

Interest expense increased $1.6 million to $20.6 million in the six months ended June 30, 2006 from $19.0 million in the six
months ended June 30, 2005 as a result of a higher effective interest rate and higher average borrowings.

Other (Income) Expense, Net

In the first half of the year the Company reported other income of $1.2 million compared to other expense of $0.3 million in the
first six months of 2005. The income in 2006 was primarily from the positive impact of the changes in the foreign currency translation rates on intra-company balances and royalty income.

(Provision for) Benefit from Income Taxes

There was no provision for income taxes related to
continuing operations in the six months ended June 30, 2006 compared to a benefit of $0.2 million in the six months ended June 30, 2005. Loss from continuing operations before taxes was $5.7 million in 2006 compared to $28.1 million in
2005. During the first half of 2006, the Company recorded a valuation allowance of $2.8 million to offset net operating losses and deferred tax assets generated for the U.S. and foreign operations during fiscal 2006. During the first half of 2005,
the Company recorded an additional valuation allowance of $8.6 million to reduce certain deferred tax assets in the United States.

Income (loss) from
Discontinued Operations, net of taxes

Loss from discontinued operations was $0.5 million in the six months ended June 30, 2006
compared to income from discontinued operations of $0.2 million in the six months ended June 30, 2005. The decrease in income in 2006 compared to 2005 was primarily related to the shutdown of the plant operation in Izmir, Turkey in May 2006.

Net Loss

Net loss in the six months
ended June 30, 2006 was $6.2 million, or $0.50 loss per basic and diluted share, compared to a net loss of $27.7 million or $2.29 loss per basic and diluted share in the six months ended June 30, 2005.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

At June 30,
2006, there was $220.0 million outstanding on the Senior Notes, $175.0 million outstanding on the Subordinated Notes, $24.2 million outstanding on the Revolver Loan, and $5.0 million outstanding under letters of credit.

The Revolver Loan imposes maximum capital expenditures of $42.5 million in 2006, $47.5 million in 2007 and $47.5 million in 2008. These capital
expenditure covenants allow for the carry forward of a certain amount of spending below covenant levels in previous periods. In 2005, Constar spent $32.6 million in capital expenditures, allowing $9.3 million to be carried over to 2006, so that the
effective capital expenditure limit for 2006 is $51.8 million. Constar currently expects to spend between $30.0 million and $35.0 million in capital expenditures in 2006. In order to satisfy significant business awards, including those relating to
conversions from other forms of packaging, the Company may need to purchase additional equipment. To the extent such purchases would cause the Company to exceed the capital expenditure restrictions of the Revolver Loan, the Company would have to
obtain the lenders consent before making such purchases. There can be no assurances that the lenders would grant any such consent.

##### Table of Contents

Liquidity, defined as cash and availability under the Revolver Loan, is a key measure of the
Companys ability to finance its operations. The principal determinant of 2006 liquidity will be financial performance including the following factors:



| |  |  | achievement of the Companys operating plan,
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------



| |  |  | changes in working capital,
| | - |  | ---------------------------



| |  |  | interest payments on the Companys debt,
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------



| |  |  | the amount and timing of contributions to the Companys pension plans, and
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | the amount and timing of capital expenditures.
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------

Liquidity
will vary on a daily, monthly and quarterly basis based upon the seasonality of the Companys sales as well as the factors mentioned above. The Companys cash requirements are typically greater during the first and second quarters of each
fiscal year because of the build up of inventory levels in anticipation of the seasonal sales increase during the warmer months and the collection cycle from customers following the higher seasonal sales.

The Company currently believes its anticipated liquidity will be adequate to finance its operations during 2006. However, actual results have differed
from expectations in the past and may do so in the future as a result of several factors, including but not limited to: changes in sales and sales mix, operating performance in the Companys European operations, the impact of higher fuel and
energy related costs, the impact of changes in resin costs on a particular quarter, currency fluctuations, and the other factors discussed under Risk Factors in the Companys Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended
December 31, 2005 and subsequent Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q.

Cash Flows

The following table shows selected cash flow data.

Net cash provided by operations decreased $0.9 million from $1.3 million for the six months ended
June 30, 2005, to $0.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2006. Days sales in accounts receivable improved to approximately 36.9 days at June 30, 2006 from 40.1 days at June 30, 2005. Inventory days improved slightly
to approximately 38.4 days at June 30, 2006 from 38.7 days at June 30, 2005. Actual payment terms related to accounts payable remained approximately the same during the six months ended June 30, 2006 as they were during the six months
ended June 30, 2005; however, the timing of payments can significantly impact the cash flow in a quarter compared to a previous quarter. The Company made payments of approximately $12.0 million on June 29, 2006 related to accounts
payable. The timing of these payments was the principal reason for the decline in net cash provided by operations for the six months ended June 30, 2006 as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2005.

Net cash used in investing activities decreased $6.5 million from $19.1 million for the six months ended 2005 to $12.6 million for the six months ended
June 30, 2006, reflecting a decrease in capital spending on equipment for conventional products which was partially offset by an increase in capital spending to expand custom capacity needed to meet customer supply agreements.

##### Table of Contents

Net cash provided by financing activities was $11.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2006.
The 2006 amount was primarily comprised of $13.7 million net borrowings on the Revolver Loan less the repayment of $1.5 million of debt associated with the Turkey operation. Net cash provided by financing activities of $17.2 million during the six
months ended June 30, 2005, was primarily comprised of the net proceeds from the Senior Notes of $220.0 million offset by the repayment of amounts outstanding under the Companys former revolver facility and two term loans of $196.9
million and costs associated with the debt refinancing of $10.8 million. Proceeds from and repayments of the revolver loan in 2006 each increased over 2005 because of the implementation of a lockbox mechanism in 2005 which resulted in more frequent
borrowings and repayments.

Commitments

Information regarding the Companys contingent liabilities appears in Part I within Item 1 of this report under Note 8 to the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, which information is incorporated herein by
reference.

Stockholders Deficit

Stockholders deficit increased to $42.6 million at June 30, 2006 from $41.9 million deficit at December 31, 2005. This increase was primarily due to a net loss of $6.2 million which was partially offset by a gain on the
revaluation of a cash flow hedge of $3.5 million and currency translation adjustments of $1.6 million during the six months ended June 30, 2006.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In December 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the FASB) issued
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards 123 (revised 2004), Share-Based Payment (SFAS 123R) which requires measurement of all employee stock-based compensation awards using a fair-value method and the recording of
such expense in the consolidated financial statements. In addition, the adoption of SFAS 123R requires additional accounting changes related to the income tax effects and disclosure regarding the cash flow effects resulting from share-based payment
arrangements. In January 2005, the SEC issued Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 107, which provides supplemental implementation guidance for SFAS 123R. The Company will recognize compensation expense on a straight-line basis over the requisite
service period. The Company adopted SFAS 123R in the first quarter of fiscal 2006.

In February 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 155,Accounting for Certain Hybrid Financial Instrumentsan amendment of FASB Statements No. 133 and 140 (SFAS 155). SFAS 155 simplifies the accounting for certain hybrid financial instruments that contain an embedded derivative
that otherwise would have required bifurcation. SFAS 155 also eliminates the interim guidance in SFAS 133, which provides that beneficial interests in securitized financial assets are not subject to the provisions of SFAS 133. SFAS 155 is effective
for all financial instruments acquired or issued after the beginning of an entitys first fiscal year that begins after September 15, 2006. SFAS 155 is required to be adopted by the Company in the first quarter of fiscal 2007. The Company
does not expect the adoption of SFAS 155 to have a material impact on our results of operations and financial condition.

In March 2006,
the FASB issued SFAS No. 156, Accounting for Servicing of Financial Assetsan amendment of FASB Statement No. 140 (SFAS 156). SFAS 156 requires that all separately recognized servicing assets and servicing
liabilities be initially measured at fair value, if practicable. The statement permits, but does not require, the subsequent measurement of servicing assets and servicing liabilities at fair value. SFAS 156 is effective as of the beginning of an
entitys first fiscal year that begins after September 15, 2006. SFAS 156 is required to be adopted by the Company in the first quarter of fiscal 2007. The Company does not expect the adoption of SFAS 156 to have a material impact on our
results of operations or financial condition.

In June 2006, the FASB issued Interpretation No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income
Taxes (FIN 48). FIN 48 clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in financial statements in accordance with SFAS No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes.This interpretation prescribes a
recognition threshold and measurement attribute of tax positions taken or expected to be taken on a tax return. This interpretation is effective for the Company beginning January 1, 2007. We are currently evaluating the impact FIN 48 will have
on our financial statements.

forward-looking statements.

These forward-looking statements are based on the Companys current expectations and
projections about future events. Statements that include the words expect, believe, intend, plan, anticipate, project, will, may, could,
should, pro forma, continues, estimates, potential, predicts, goal, objective and similar statements of a future nature identify forward-looking
statements. These forward-looking statements and forecasts are subject to risks, uncertainties and assumptions. The Company cautions that forward-looking statements are not guarantees and that actual results could differ materially from those
expressed or implied in the forward-looking statements. The Company does not intend to review or revise any particular forward-looking statement or forecast in light of future events.

A discussion of important factors that could cause the actual results of operations or financial condition of the Company to differ from expectations has
been set forth in the Companys Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2005 under the captions Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward Looking Statements and Item 1.A Risk Factors and is
incorporated herein by reference. Some of the factors are also discussed elsewhere in this Form 10-Q and have been or may be discussed from time to time in the Companys other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

Market Risk

In the normal course of business, the Company is exposed to fluctuations in currency values, interest rates, commodity prices and other market risks.

The Company derived approximately 20 percent of total revenues from sales in foreign currencies during the six months ended June 30,
2006. In the Companys financial statements, operating results in local currency are translated into U.S. dollars based on average exchange rates during the period and balance sheet items are translated at rates in effect on the balance sheet
date. During periods of a strengthening dollar, the Companys U.S. dollar financial results related to operations conducted in foreign currencies are reduced because the local currency amounts are translated into fewer U.S. dollars. Conversely,
as the dollar weakens, the Companys foreign results reported in U.S. dollars will increase accordingly. Based on the Companys revenues in the first six months of 2006 from its foreign locations that utilize currencies other than the U.S.
dollar, a 10 percent increase in the U.S. dollar value would result in approximately a $13.5 million reduction in net sales. The Company may enter into foreign exchange contracts to reduce the effects of fluctuations in foreign currency exchange
rates on assets, liabilities, firm commitments and anticipated transactions. However, the Company does not generally hedge its exposure to translation gains or losses on non-U.S. net assets. At June 30, 2006, the Company had no foreign currency
derivative contracts outstanding.

Under the procedures and controls of the Companys risk management, the Company entered into an
agreement to manage the floating interest rate on a portion of the Companys Senior Notes and Revolver Loan. The interest rate swap involved the exchange of floating interest payments based on three month LIBOR rate for a fixed rate. The
Company uses the interest rate swap to manage and hedge its exposure to interest rate risks. Therefore, the Company has an exposure to interest rate risk on the portion of the Senior Notes and borrowings under the Revolver Loan that is not part of
the cash flow hedge. The extent of the Companys interest rate risk in connection with the Revolver Loan and the Senior Notes is not quantifiable or predictable because of the variability of future interest rates and borrowing requirements.
Based on borrowing levels as of June 30, 2006, a 1% change in LIBOR would have resulted in an increase of $1.4 million in annual interest expense. However, current amounts borrowed under the Revolver Loan might not be representative of future
borrowings which will be based on our future requirements and seasonal needs.

The principal raw materials used in the manufacture of the
Companys products are resins that are petrochemical derivatives. The markets for these resins are cyclical, and are characterized by fluctuations in supply, demand and pricing. Substantially all of the Companys sales are made under
contracts that allow for the pass-through of changes in the price of PET resin under various pass-through mechanisms. PET resin is our principal raw material and a major component of cost of goods sold. Period to period comparisons of gross profit
and gross profit as a percentage of sales may not be meaningful indicators of actual performance, because the effects of the pass-through mechanisms are affected by the magnitude and timing of resin price changes.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Disclosure Controls and Internal Controls

The Companys disclosure controls and procedures are designed with the objective of ensuring that information required to be disclosed in our
reports, such as this quarterly report, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SECs rules and forms. Disclosure controls are designed with the objective of ensuring that this information is
accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding the required disclosure. Internal controls and procedures for financial

Limitations on the Effectiveness of Controls

Our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, does not expect that our disclosure controls or internal
controls will prevent all errors or fraud. A control system, no matter how well conceived and implemented, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Further, the design of a control
system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute
assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within the Company have been detected. These inherent limitations include realities that judgments in decision making can be faulty and that breakdown can occur because of simple
error or mistake. Additionally, controls can be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people or by management override of the control. Because of inherent limitations in a cost effective control system,
misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected.

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls

Management assessed the effectiveness of the Companys internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2005. In making this
assessment, management used the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission in Internal ControlIntegrated Framework(COSO). Based on this assessment, management identified the following
material weaknesses as of December 31, 2005. A material weakness is a control deficiency, or combination of control deficiencies, that results in more than a remote likelihood that a material misstatement of the annual or interim financial
statements will not be prevented or detected.

1. Financial Statement Close and Reporting ProcessThe Company
did not maintain effective controls over the financial statement close and reporting process because the Company lacked a complement of personnel with a level of financial reporting expertise commensurate with the Companys financial reporting
requirements. Specifically, the Company lacked sufficient resources to perform properly the quarterly and year-end financial statement close processes, including the review of certain account reconciliations and financial statement preparation and
disclosures. This control deficiency contributed to the material weaknesses discussed in 2 and 3 below and the resulting audit adjustments to the 2005 annual consolidated financial statements.

2. Accounting for Income TaxesThe Company did not maintain effective controls over the completeness, accuracy, presentation
and disclosure of its accounting for income taxes, including the determination of income tax expense, income taxes payable and deferred income tax assets and liabilities. Specifically, the Company did not maintain effective controls to calculate
accurately income tax expense and income taxes payable, monitor the difference between the income tax basis and the financial reporting basis of assets and liabilities and reconcile the resulting basis difference to its deferred income tax asset and
liability balances. This control deficiency resulted in audit adjustments to the 2005 annual consolidated financial statements.

3. Accounting for InventoryThe Company did not maintain effective controls
over the accuracy and valuation of inventory and related cost of sales accounts. Specifically, the Company did not maintain effective controls to ensure that the computation of standard to actual cost variance adjustments was accurate. In addition,
the Company failed to ensure that intercompany profit or loss in ending inventory was eliminated and to ensure the accuracy of its analysis of the lower of cost or market reserve for finished goods inventory. This control deficiency resulted in
audit adjustments to the 2005 annual consolidated financial statements.

Additionally, each of these control deficiencies could result in a
misstatement of the aforementioned account balances or disclosures that would result in a material misstatement to the annual or interim consolidated financial statements that would not be prevented or detected. Accordingly, management has
determined that each of the above control deficiencies represents a material weakness.

Changes in internal controls

At the end of the period covered by this quarterly report on Form 10-Q, Constar carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the
participation of its principal executive officer and principal financial officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of its disclosure controls and procedures. Because the material weaknesses identified above were not remediated at
June 30, 2006, the Companys principal executive officer and principal financial officer have concluded that the disclosure controls and procedures are not effective at a reasonable assurance level as of June 30, 2006.

The Company has begun efforts to design and implement improvements in its internal control over financial reporting to address the material weaknesses in
the close and reporting process, accounting for income taxes, and accounting for inventory. During the second quarter of 2006, the Company hired additional finance and accounting personnel. The Company continues to train existing accounting staff
and hire and train skilled accounting staff to address the identified deficiencies. In addition, during the second quarter of 2006, the Company began to implement additional policies and procedures needed to remediate the deficiencies in its
internal control over financial reporting. The Company also has retained a consulting firm to assist the Company in assessing, implementing and documenting improvements to the Companys internal control over financial reporting related to the
financial statement close and reporting process and accounting for inventory. The Company has retained a firm to assist in designing and implementing controls surrounding accounting for income taxes.

No other changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a -15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) occurred during
the second quarter ended June 30, 2006 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
