                 NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                  (Dollars in thousands, except per share data)
                                   (unaudited)


Note 1 - Basis of Presentation

         The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been
prepared by the Company pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities
and Exchange Commission. In the opinion of management, all adjustments
(consisting of normal recurring adjustments) considered necessary for a fair
presentation have been included. Operating results for the three months ended
March 31, 2004 are not indicative of the results that may be expected for the
year ending December 31, 2004. These statements should be read in conjunction
with the financial statements and the notes thereto included in the Company's
Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2003.

         On October 11, 2002, GenTek and 31 of its direct and indirect
subsidiaries, including its Noma Company subsidiary (collectively, the
"Debtors"), filed voluntary petitions for reorganization relief under Chapter 11
of the United States Bankruptcy Code in the United States Bankruptcy Court for
the District of Delaware. The Debtors' joint plan of reorganization was
confirmed on October 7, 2003 and became effective in accordance with its terms
on November 10, 2003.

         The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance
with Statement of Position 90-7 ("SOP 90-7"), "Financial Reporting by Entities
in Reorganization Under the Bankruptcy Code," and on a going concern basis,
which contemplates continuity of operations, realization of assets and
liquidation of liabilities in the ordinary course of business. In connection
with its emergence from bankruptcy on November 10, 2003, the Company has adopted
fresh-start reporting in accordance with SOP 90-7. Accordingly, the Company's
post-emergence financial statements ("Successor") are not comparable with its
pre-emergence financial statements ("Predecessor").

         On March 25, 2004, the Company announced that it signed a definitive
agreement to sell its KRONE communications business to ADC Telecommunications,
Inc. (ADC). Accordingly, the business to be sold has been classified as
discontinued operations. Under the terms of the agreement, the Company will
receive total consideration of approximately $350 million, consisting of $294
million in cash, subject to post-closing adjustments, and the assumption by ADC
of approximately $56 million of pension and employee-related liabilities. The
transaction is expected to close during May, 2004 and is subject to customary
conditions including regulatory and other approvals. Consummation of this
transaction will trigger the contingent redemption feature of the Company's
tranche A warrants.

Note 2 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

         Compensation cost for stock-based employee compensation plans is
recognized using the intrinsic value method. The following table illustrates the
effect on net income (loss) and net income (loss) per share if the Company had
applied the fair value based method to recognize stock-based employee
compensation.

         During the first quarter of 2004, the Company notified its employees
that benefit accruals in defined benefit pension plans covering domestic
salaried and certain hourly employees would be frozen effective April 1, 2004.
This action resulted in a curtailment gain of $14,840. In addition, during the
first quarter of 2003, the Company closed a facility which resulted in a
curtailment gain for a pension plan of $81, which was recorded as a component of
reorganization items, net.

         During the first quarter of 2004, the Company contributed $17,827 to
its domestic pension plan trusts and expects to make additional contributions of
approximately $4,000 during the remainder of 2004.

Note 11 - Discontinued Operations

         On March 25, 2004, the Company signed a definitive agreement to sell
its Krone communications business for $294 million in cash, subject to
post-closing adjustments for certain cash and debt balances as of the closing
date. As of March 31, 2004, Krone's cash balances were $33,174 and debt balances
were $7,951. The transaction is expected to close during May, 2004 and
is subject to customary conditions including regulatory and other approvals. The
carrying amount as of March 31, 2004 of the major classes of assets and
liabilities included in the transaction are as follows:

          Non-current liabilities.......................      88,640
</TABLE>


         The businesses included in discontinued operations had revenues of
$83,896 and $67,711 and pretax profit (loss) of $6,248 and $(1,832) for the
three months ended March 31, 2004 and 2003, respectively. The businesses were
formerly reported as part of the communications segment, which is no longer a
reportable segment as a result of the reclassification of this business to
discontinued operations. If and when this transaction is completed, the Company
expects to record a material gain, although the amount of this gain cannot
currently be precisely determined.

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

         This Form 10-Q contains forward-looking statements within the meaning
of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934. The Company's actual results could differ materially from
those set forth in the forward-looking statements. Certain factors that might
cause such a difference include those discussed in the section entitled,
"Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
Operations - Forward-Looking Statements" contained in the Company's Annual
Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2003.

         On October 11, 2002, GenTek and 31 of its direct and indirect
subsidiaries, including its Noma Company subsidiary (collectively, the
"Debtors"), filed voluntary petitions for reorganization relief under Chapter 11
of the United States Bankruptcy Code in the United States Bankruptcy Court for
the District of Delaware. The Debtors' joint plan of reorganization was
confirmed on October 7, 2003 and became effective in accordance with its terms
on November 10, 2003.

         The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance
with Statement of Position 90-7 ("SOP 90-7"), "Financial Reporting by Entities
in Reorganization Under the Bankruptcy Code," and on a going concern basis,
which contemplates continuity of operations, realization of assets and
liquidation of liabilities in the ordinary course of business. In connection
with its emergence from bankruptcy on November 10, 2003, the Company has adopted
fresh-start reporting in accordance with SOP 90-7. Accordingly, the Company's
post-emergence financial statements ("Successor") are not comparable with its
pre-emergence financial statements ("Predecessor").

         On March 25, 2004, the Company announced that it signed a definitive
agreement to sell its KRONE communications business to ADC Telecommunications,
Inc. (ADC). Accordingly, the business to be sold has been classified as
discontinued operations. Under the terms of the agreement, the Company will
receive total consideration of approximately $350 million, consisting of $294
million in cash, subject to post-closing adjustments, and the assumption by ADC
of approximately $56 million of pension and employee-related liabilities. The
transaction is expected to close during May, 2004 and is subject to customary
conditions including regulatory and other approvals. Consummation of this
transaction will trigger the contingent redemption feature of the Company's
tranche A warrants.

Results of Operations

         The following table sets forth certain line items from our Consolidated
Statements of Operations for the three months ended March 31, 2004 and 2003 and
the corresponding percentage of net revenues for the relevant periods presented
as a percentage of revenue for the periods indicated. As previously discussed,
the Company emerged from Chapter 11 and adopted fresh start accounting on
November 10, 2003. As a result of the application of fresh start accounting, the
Successor Company's financial statements are not comparable with the Predecessor
Company's financial statements.

</TABLE>

         Net revenues were $193 million for the three month period ended March
31, 2004 compared with $197 million for the prior year. This decrease was due to
lower sales in the performance products segment and corporate and other,
partially offset by higher sales in the manufacturing segment. The decrease in
revenues in the performance products segment is due to lower sales in the
Company's sulfuric acid and fine chemical product lines of $3 million and $4
million, respectively, reflecting the shutdown of the South Plant of the
Company's Delaware Valley Works and restructuring of the North American sulfur
derivatives business. The decrease in revenues in corporate and other is
principally due to lower sales of the Company's printing plate product line of
$3 million. The increase in revenues in the manufacturing segment is the result
of higher sales in the industrial and automotive markets, of $6 million and $2
million, respectively, partially offset by lower sales in the appliance and
electronics market of $4 million. The increase in revenues in the industrial
market is principally due to the impact of the pass through of higher raw
material prices for copper to our customers as well as the impact of exchange
rate fluctuations. The decrease in revenues in the appliance and electronics
market reflect the impact of certain customers resourcing business away from the
Company primarily to competitors in the Far East.

         Gross profit was $30 million for the three month period ended March 31,
2004 as compared with $28 million for the prior year. This increase is
principally due to higher gross profit in the performance products segment of $3
million, partially offset by lower gross profit in corporate and other of $1
million. The increase in performance products is principally due to a $2 million
loss contract accrual recorded during the first quarter of 2003 and the plant
cost savings net of lost revenue of $2 million due to the closure of the South
Plant of the Delaware Valley Works partially offset by an increase in
maintenance spending of $1 million due to the timing of plant maintenance and
turnarounds. In the manufacturing segment, increased depreciation and
amortization expense of $1 million as a result of the impact of fresh start
accounting offset the favorable impact of the higher sales level and higher
production levels at one of the Company's roller bearing plants as a result of
insourcing parts previously purchased from an outside supplier. The launch of
this product occurred in the second quarter of 2003 resulting in the year over
year improvement in gross profit. The lower gross profit in the corporate and
other reflects the impact of the abovementioned lower sales volume.

         Selling, general and administrative expense was $21 million for the
three month period ended March 31, 2004, which is comparable to the prior year
level.

         Restructuring and impairment charges were $1 million for the three
month period ended March 31, 2004 as compared with $25 million being recorded
during the first quarter of 2003 to reduce the carrying value of the fixed
assets at the South Plant of the Company's Delaware Valley Works to estimated
fair value, which was determined based upon a number of factors including an
independent appraisal.

         During the first quarter of 2004, the Company notified its employees
that benefit accruals in defined benefit pension plans covering domestic
salaried and certain hourly employees would be frozen effective April 1, 2004.
As a result, a curtailment gain of approximately $15 million was recognized
during the first quarter of 2004.

         Operating income was $22 million for the three month period ended March
31, 2004 as compared with an operating loss of $18 million for the prior year.
This improvement was principally due to the restructuring and impairment charges
recorded during the first quarter of 2003 and the abovementioned pension
curtailment gain and higher gross profit.

         Interest expense was $4 million for the three month period ended March
31, 2004 as compared to $0.1 million for the prior year. Interest expense for
the first quarter of 2004 consisted of interest expense on the Company's new
Senior Term Notes and Revolving Credit Facility. During the first quarter of
2003 no interest expense was recorded on the Company's pre-petition senior
credit facility and 11% Senior Subordinated Notes. The Company made adequate
protection payments to its senior creditors prior to its emergence from
bankruptcy which have been treated for accounting purposes as reductions in
principal.

         There were no reorganization items for the three month period ended
March 31, 2004 as compared with $9 million of reorganization items for the first
quarter of 2003. Reorganization items for the first quarter of 2003 include
expenses associated with the Company's reorganization under Chapter 11 and
include professional fees and employee retention costs.

         Included in other (income)/expense, net for the three month period
ended March 31, 2004 is a gain of $3 million from the sale of the Company's
minority interest in its joint venture with Esseco S.P.A.

         Income from discontinued operations was $4 million for the three month
period ended March 31, 2004 as compared with a loss of $0.1 million for the
prior year. This increase is due to higher net income for the communications
business, principally due to higher sales volumes, the positive effects of
completed cost reduction and restructuring initiatives and the impact of
exchange rate fluctuations on the reported results of the business.

</TABLE>

(1) Includes restructuring and impairment charges of $1.0 million and $24.7
    million for the three month periods ended March 31, 2004 and 2003,
    respectively.

Manufacturing Segment

         Net revenues for the manufacturing segment were $114 million for the
three month period ended March 31, 2004 as compared to $109 million for the
comparable prior year period. This increase is principally due to higher sales
to the industrial and automotive markets of $6 million and $2 million,
respectively, partially offset by lower sales to the appliance and electronics
market of $4 million. The increase in revenues in the industrial market is
principally due to the impact of the pass through of higher raw material prices
for copper to our customers as well as the impact of exchange rate fluctuations.
The increase in revenues to the automotive market is principally due to a new
engine management harness which the Company started to produce during the second
half of 2003. The decrease in revenues to the appliance and electronics market
reflect the impact of certain customers resourcing business away from the
Company, primarily to competitors in the Far East. Gross profit was $19 million
for the three month period ended March 31, 2004, which approximated the prior
year level. Increased depreciation and amortization expense of $1 million as a
result of the impact of fresh start accounting offset the favorable impact of
the higher sales level and higher production levels at one of the Company's
roller bearing plants as a result of insourcing parts previously purchased from
an outside supplier. The launch of this product occurred in the second quarter
of 2003, resulting in the year over year improvement in gross profit. Selling,
general and administrative expense was $10 million for each of the three month
periods ended March 31, 2004 and 2003. Operating income for the three month
period ended March 31, 2004 was $11 million as compared to $9 million for the
prior year period. This increase is principally due to a $2 million pension
curtailment gain as previously discussed.

Performance Products Segment

         Net revenues for the performance products segment were $76 million as
compared to $82 million for the prior year period. This decrease was principally
driven by lower sales for the Company's sulfuric acid product and fine chemical
product lines of $3 million and $4 million, respectively, reflecting the
shutdown of the South Plant of the Company's Delaware Valley Works and
restructuring of the North American sulfur derivatives business. This decrease
was partially offset by higher sales of $1 million for the Company's water
chemical product line, due principally to higher volumes. Gross profit was $10
million for the three month period ended March 31, 2004 as compared to $8
million for the prior year period. This increase is principally due to a $2
million loss contract accrual recorded during the first quarter of 2003, and
plant cost savings net of lost revenue of $2 million due to the closure of the
South Plant of the Delaware Valley Works, partially offset by an increase in
maintenance spending of $1 million due to the timing of plant maintenance and
turnarounds. Selling, general and administrative expense was $9 million for the
three month period ended March 31, 2004, which was $1 million higher than the
prior year level. This increase was principally due to higher pension and
retiree medical costs. Restructuring and impairment charges were $1 million for
the three month period ended March 31, 2004 as compared to


                                      -13-








<Page>



a $25 million charge recorded during the comparable prior year period to reduce
the carrying value of the fixed assets at the South Plant of the Company's
Delaware Valley Works to estimated fair value, which was determined based upon a
number of factors including an independent appraisal. Operating income was $12
million for the three month period ended March 31, 2004 as compared to an
operating loss of $25 million for the prior year. This improvement is
principally due to the lower restructuring and impairment charges, a $12 million
pension curtailment gain as previously discussed and the abovementioned higher
gross profit, partially offset by higher selling, general and administrative
expense.

Financial Condition, Liquidity and Capital Resources

         Cash and cash equivalents were $19 million at March 31, 2004 compared
with $27 million at December 31, 2003. The decrease in cash is the result of
cash used by operating activities of $18 million, capital expenditures of $5
million, offset by borrowings of $13 million and proceeds from asset sales of
$3 million. Cash used for operating activities includes contributions made to
domestic pension plans of $17 million.

         The Company had working capital of $97 million at March 31, 2004 as
compared with working capital of $93 million at December 31, 2003. This increase
in working capital principally reflects higher accounts receivable balances and
lower accrued liabilities partially offset by higher accounts payable and lower
cash.

         Cash payments for employee termination costs and facility exit costs
totaled $5 million in the three months ended March 31, 2004. Management expects
that additional cash outlays of approximately $5 million for employee
termination costs and facility exit costs for the two plant closures in the
performance products segment will be substantially completed by the end of 2004.
Management intends to fund these cash outlays from existing cash balances and
cash flow generated by operations.

         On November 10, 2003, GenTek, substantially all of GenTek's domestic
subsidiaries, and Noma Company (collectively, "the Borrowers") entered into a
$125 million previously defined Revolving Credit Facility which matures on
November 10, 2008. The facility includes a letter of credit sub-limit of $60
million. The facility is secured by a first priority lien on substantially all
of the assets of the Borrowers and 65 percent of the stock of first-tier foreign
subsidiaries. The facility bears interest at variable rates based on a base rate
or LIBOR plus an applicable margin. The current margins are 1.5 percent for base
rate borrowings and 2.5 percent for LIBOR borrowings. The margins are subject to
periodic adjustment based upon the financial performance of the Company.

         In addition, on November 10, 2003, the Company issued $250 million
under the Senior Term Loan Credit Agreement which matures on November 10, 2008.
The debt is guaranteed by substantially all of the Company's direct and indirect
domestic subsidiaries, and is secured by second-priority liens on substantially
all of the assets of the Company and its direct and indirect domestic
subsidiaries and 65 percent of the stock of first-tier foreign subsidiaries. The
debt bears interest at variable rates based on LIBOR plus 4.5 percent, subject
to a LIBOR floor of 1.5 percent.

         The above debt facilities contain debt covenants which impose certain
restrictions on the Company's ability to, among other things, incur additional
debt, pay dividends, make investments or sell assets. Additionally, certain
asset sale proceeds must be used to repay indebtedness and, beginning in 2005,
the Senior Term Loan Credit Agreement provides that the majority of any "excess
cash flow" generated in the prior year be used to prepay the senior term debt.


                                      -14-

         Upon completion of the sale of the Krone communications business, the
Company plans to use the net proceeds of the transaction, after transaction
fees, taxes, a distribution to holders of the Company's tranche A warrants and
other required payments, to re-pay the Company's senior term notes.

         Management believes that the Company's cash flow from operations and
availability under its revolving credit facility will be sufficient to cover
future debt service requirements, capital expenditures, and working capital
requirements during 2004.

Item 3.   Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk.

         The Company's cash flows and earnings are subject to fluctuations
resulting from changes in interest rates, foreign currency exchange rates and
commodity prices and the Company selectively uses financial instruments to
manage these risks. The Company's objective in managing its exposure to changes
in interest rates, foreign currency exchange rates and commodity prices is to
reduce volatility on earnings and cash flow associated with such changes. The
Company has not entered, and does not intend to enter, into financial
instruments for speculation or trading purposes.

         The Company measures the market risk related to its holding of
financial instruments based on changes in interest rates, foreign currency rates
and commodity prices using a sensitivity analysis. The sensitivity analysis
measures the potential loss in fair values, cash flows and earnings based on a
hypothetical 10 percent change in interest rates, foreign currency exchange
rates and commodity prices. The Company used current market rates on its debt
and derivative portfolio to perform the sensitivity analysis. Such analysis
indicates that a hypothetical 10 percent change in interest rates, foreign
currency exchange rates or commodity prices would not have a material impact on
the fair values, cash flows or earnings of the Company.

Item 4.   Controls and Procedures.

         (a) Disclosure Controls and Procedures. The Company's management, with
the participation of the Company's Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial
Officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of the Company's disclosure controls
and procedures (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under
the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act")) as of the
end of the period covered by this report. Based on such evaluation, the
Company's Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded
that, as of the end of such period, the Company's disclosure controls and
procedures are effective at the reasonable assurance level in recording,
processing, summarizing and reporting, on a timely basis, information required
to be disclosed by the Company in the reports that it files or submits under the
Exchange Act.

         (b) Internal Control Over Financial Reporting. There have not been any
changes in the Company's internal control over financial reporting (as such term
is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) during the
fiscal quarter to which this report relates that have materially affected, or
are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company's internal control over
financial reporting.
