HUNTSMAN ADVANCED MATERIALS LLC AND SUBSIDIARIES        NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)

1.     General



Huntsman Advanced Materials LLC (including its subsidiaries, unless the context otherwise requires, the "Company", "our", "us", or "we") is a global producer and
marketer of technologically advanced specialty chemicals used in a wide variety of industrial and consumer applications. We provide our customers with:



Our
products are used to address customer-specific application needs and are utilized in a wide variety of end markets, such as adhesives, electrical and electronic materials, structural composites
and surface technologies. We operate 13 manufacturing facilities worldwide, including facilities in North America, South America, Europe, Asia and Africa. We operate in one reportable business
segment.



We are a Delaware limited liability company, 90.3% of our membership interests are indirectly owned by Huntsman Corporation through Huntsman Advanced Materials
Holdings LLC, a Delaware limited liability company ("AdMat Holdings") and Huntsman Advanced Materials Investment LLC, a Delaware limited liability company ("AdMat Investment") and the balance of the
membership interests are held indirectly by third parties, including SISU Capital Limited ("SISU"), a private investment firm based in London, U.K.

On
June 30, 2003, a predecessor of Huntsman Corporation, Huntsman Holdings, LLC ("Huntsman Holdings") and other equity affiliates of Huntsman Holdings completed a restructuring
and business combination involving Vantico Group S.A. (collectively with its subsidiaries, unless the context otherwise requires, "Vantico" or the "Predecessor Company"), whereby ownership of the
equity of Vantico was transferred to us (the "AdMat Transaction").

We
accounted for the AdMat Transaction as a purchase business combination.



On February 16, 2005, Huntsman Corporation, our parent corporation, completed initial public offerings of (i) 55,681,819 shares of its common stock
sold by Huntsman Corporation and 13,579,546 shares of its common stock sold by a selling stockholder, in each case at a price to the public of $23 per share, and (ii) 5,750,000 shares of its 5%
Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock sold by Huntsman Corporation at a price to the public of $50 per share. Net proceeds to Huntsman Corporation from the offering were approximately

the primary beneficiary.

Our unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements were prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States
of America ("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 for the year ended December 31, 2004 included in our Registration
Statement on Form S-4 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on April 5, 2005 (File No. 333-115344).



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.



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

2.     Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

In January 2003, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Financial Interpretation No. ("FIN") 46, "Consolidation
of Variable Interest Entities." FIN 46 addresses the requirements for business enterprises to consolidate related entities, for which they do not have controlling interests
through voting or other rights, if they are determined to be the primary beneficiary as a result of variable economic interests. Transfers to a qualifying special purpose entity are not subject to
this interpretation. In December 2003, the FASB issued a replacement of FIN 46 (FIN 46R) to clarify certain complexities. We adopted this financial interpretation on January 1, 2005. The
adoption of the standard had no impact on the financial statements.

In
November 2004, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 151, "Inventory Costsan amendment of ARB
No. 43." SFAS No. 151 requires abnormal amounts of idle facility expense, freight, handling costs, and wasted material 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 requirements of the standard will be
effective for inventory costs incurred during fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2005. We are reviewing SFAS No. 151 to determine the statement's impact on our consolidated financial
statements.

In
December 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 153, "Exchanges of Nonmonetary Assetsan amendment of APB Opinion
No. 29." SFAS No. 153 addresses the measurement of exchanges of nonmonetary assets and eliminates the exception from fair value measurement for nonmonetary
exchanges of similar productive assets in APB Opinion No. 29 and replaces it with an exception for exchanges that do not have commercial substance. SFAS No. 153 specifies that a
nonmonetary exchange has commercial substance if the future cash flows of the entity are expected to change significantly as a result of the exchange. The provisions of this standard are effective for
nonmonetary exchanges occurring in fiscal periods beginning after June 15, 2005. We will apply this standard prospectively.

---



In
December 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 123R, "Share Based Payment." SFAS No. 123R requires entities to measure
the cost of employee services received in exchange for an award of equity instruments based on the grant-date fair value of the award. That cost will be recognized over the period during
which the employee is required to provide services in exchange for the award. This standard eliminates the alternative to use the intrinsic value method of accounting for share-based payments as
previously provided in APB Opinion No. 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees." We adopted SFAS No. 123R effective
January 1, 2005, and have applied this standard prospectively to share-based awards issued to our employees in connection with Huntsman Corporation's initial public offering. In connection with
Huntsman Corporation's initial public offering of common stock on February 16, 2005, certain of our employees received Huntsman Corporation stock options and restricted stock. Accordingly, we
were allocated share-based compensation expense of $0.3 million and $0.4 million during the three and six months ended June 30, 2005 respectively. We did not have share-based
awards prior to the awards issued in connection with Huntsman Corporation's initial public offering.

In
March 2005, the FASB issued FIN 47,"Accounting for Conditional Asset Retirement Obligations."FIN 47 clarifies the term conditional asset retirement
obligationused in SFAS No. 143,"Accounting for Asset Retirement
Obligations,"and clarifies when an entity would have sufficient information to reasonably estimate the fair value of an asset retirement obligation. FIN 47 is effective no
later than the end of December 2005. We are reviewing FIN 47 to determine its impact on our financial statements.

In
March 2005, the Emerging Issues Task Force issued a preliminary consensus on issue 04-13, "Accounting for Purchases and Sales of Inventory
with the Same Counterparty," that, if ratified by the FASB, would require 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 would be reflected at the recorded amount. We are evaluating the impact of this
preliminary consensus to determine its impact on our results of operations.

In
May 2005, the FASB issued SFAS No. 154,"Accounting Changes and Error Correctionsa replacement of APB Opinion No. 20 and FASB
Statement No. 3."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. SFAS No. 154 is
effective for accounting changes and error corrections made after December 31, 2005. We will apply this standard prospectively.

9.     Restructuring and Plant Closing Costs

As of December 31, 2004, accrued restructuring and plant closing costs consisted of $33.0 million related to the restructuring programs implemented
in association with the AdMat Transaction, the realignment and simplification of the commercial and technical organization and the closure of the Kaohsiung, Taiwan production facility.

During
the second quarter of 2005, we assessed the remaining restructuring reserves established in association with the AdMat Transaction and other 2004 initiatives and concluded that
$5.3 million and $0.8 million, respectively, were no longer necessary. Accordingly, we reversed these restructuring reserves during the second quarter of 2005. The AdMat Transaction
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."
The reversal of the restructuring reserve for the other 2004 initiatives was recorded as a credit to earnings. Also during the second quarter of 2005, we recorded restructuring and plant closing
charges of $0.2 million for relocation and other costs.

On June 30, 2003, we entered into the AdMat Revolving Credit Facility that provides up to $60 million of borrowings and is secured by a first lien
on substantially all of our assets and those of certain of our subsidiaries. The collateral includes substantially all real property and equipment relating to our manufacturing plants located at
Bergkamen, Germany; Monthey, Switzerland; McIntosh, Alabama; and Duxford, U.K. The collateral also includes intercompany notes of certain of our subsidiaries, and certain other assets, principally
including inventory and accounts receivable. Our obligations under the AdMat Revolving Credit Facility have been initially guaranteed by all of our U.S. subsidiaries and certain of our
non-U.S. subsidiaries (collectively, the "AdMat Guarantors"). The agent for the lenders under the AdMat Revolving Credit Facility and the trustee under the indenture governing the Senior
Secured Notes are parties to an intercreditor agreement (the "AdMat Intercreditor Agreement").

On
June 17, 2005, we amended the AdMat Revolving Credit Facility. This amendment included, among other things, the extension of the facility's maturity date from June 30,
2007 to July 15, 2007, the reduction in interest rate margins and the elimination of pledges of capital stock in subsidiaries as collateral under the facility. Interest rates, at our option,
are based upon either a eurocurrency rate (LIBOR) or a base rate (prime), plus an applicable spread. The applicable spreads vary based on a pricing grid. In the case of the eurocurrency-based loans,
spreads range from 1.25% to 1.5% per annum, depending on whether specified conditions have been satisfied, and, in the case of base rate loans, from 0.25% to 0.5% per annum. As of June 30,
2005, we had no amounts drawn on the AdMat

Revolving
Credit Facility and had approximately $4.0 million of letters of credit issued and outstanding under the AdMat Revolving Credit Facility. The AdMat Revolving Credit Facility allows us
to borrow up to $20 million secured by letters of credit; however, the $60 million revolving credit facility is reduced dollar-for-dollar by any letters of credit
outstanding. There are no scheduled debt amortization payments on the AdMat Revolving Credit Facility until its maturity date.

The
agreement governing the AdMat Revolving Credit Facility contains customary financial covenants; covenants relating to the incurrence of debt, the purchase and sale of assets,
limitations on investments and affiliate transactions; change in control provisions; events of default provisions; and acceleration provisions. Management believes that we were in compliance with the
covenants of the AdMat Revolving Credit Facility as of June 30, 2005.



In connection with the AdMat Transaction, on June 30, 2003, we issued $250 million of Fixed Rate Notes due 2010 and $100 million of Floating
Rate Notes due 2008 (collectively, the "Senior Secured Notes"). The $250 million Fixed Rate Notes bear a per annum fixed rate of interest of 11%, and the Floating Rate Notes bear interest at a
rate per annum equal to LIBOR plus 8.0%, subject to a floor with respect to LIBOR of 2.0%. As of June 30, 2005, the interest rate on the Floating Rate Notes was approximately 10.9%. Interest on
the Floating Rate Notes resets semiannually. The $100 million Floating Rate Notes were issued with an original issue discount of 2.0%, or for $98 million. The $2 million discount
is being amortized to interest expense over the term of the Floating Rate Notes. Interest is payable on the Senior Secured Notes semiannually on January 15 and July 15 of each year. The
effective interest rate on the Floating Rate Notes was approximately 11.1% as of June 30, 2005.

The
Senior Secured Notes are secured by a second lien, subject to the AdMat Intercreditor Agreement, on substantially all of the assets that secure the AdMat Revolving Credit Facility.
The Senior Secured Notes effectively rank senior in right of payment to all existing and future obligations of our company that are unsecured or secured by liens on the collateral junior to the liens
securing the Senior Secured
Notes. The Senior Secured Notes are initially guaranteed on a senior basis by the AdMat Guarantors and are also supported by liens on substantially all of the assets of the AdMat Guarantors.

The
Fixed Rate Notes are redeemable on or after July 15, 2007 at our option at a price declining ratably from 105.5% to 100.0% of par value by the year 2009. The Floating Rate
Notes are redeemable on or after July 15, 2005 at our option at a price declining ratably from 105.0% to 100.0% of par value by the year 2007. On June 13, 2005, we issued a notice of a
partial redemption to redeem $50 million aggregate principal amount of the Floating Rate Notes. On July 15, 2005, we completed the partial redemption and paid call premiums in the amount
of $2.5 million. Accordingly, we have classified the $50 million redemption amount as current in the balance sheet as of June 30, 2005. Following this redemption, we have
$50 million aggregate principal amount outstanding on the Floating Rate Notes. At any time prior to July 15, 2007 for the Fixed Rate Notes and July 15, 2005 for the Floating Rate
Notes, we may redeem all or part of such notes at 100% of their principal amount, plus a "make whole" premium, as defined in the indenture. In addition, at any time prior to July 15, 2006 for
the Fixed Rate Notes and July 15, 2005 for the Floating Rate Notes, we may redeem up to 35% of the original aggregate principal amount of the Senior Secured Notes at a redemption price of 111%
of the principal thereof with the net cash proceeds of one or more qualified equity offerings, subject to certain conditions and limitations. There are no scheduled debt amortization payments on the
Senior Secured Notes until their maturity date.

The
indenture governing the Senior Secured Notes contains covenants relating to the incurrence of debt, limitations on distributions, asset sales and affiliate transactions, among other
things. The indenture also contains a change of control provision requiring us to offer to repurchase the Senior

Secured
Notes upon a change of control. Management believes that we were in compliance with the covenants of the indenture as of June 30, 2005.

11.   Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities

On June 1, 2005, we entered into a cross-currency interest rate swap. The cross-currency swap requires us to pay euros and receive U.S. dollars on the
maturity date of July 15, 2007. The U.S. dollar notional amount is $31.3 million and bears interest at a fixed rate of 11.0%, payable semiannually on January 15 and
July 15. The euro notional amount is €25.0 million and bears interest at a fixed rate of approximately 9.4%, payable semiannually on January 15 and July 15.
The swap is not designated as a hedge for reporting purposes and is recorded at fair value. As of June 30, 2005, the fair value gain of $1.1 million was recorded in other noncurrent
assets and as a decrease in other operating expenses for both the three and six months ended June 30, 2005.

12.   Employee Benefit Plans

Items of other comprehensive loss have been recorded net of deferred tax, with the exception of income permanently reinvested, based upon the
jurisdiction where the income or losses were realized.

14.   Commitments and Contingencies



We have various purchase commitments extending through 2012 for materials, supplies and services entered into in the ordinary course of business. The purchase
commitments are contracts that require minimum volume purchases. Certain contracts allow for changes in minimum required purchase volumes in the event of a temporary or permanent shut down of a
facility. The contractual purchase price for substantially all of these contracts is variable based upon market prices, subject to annual negotiations.

We
are indemnified by Ciba Specialty Chemicals Holdings Inc. ("Ciba") against certain liabilities arising on supply contracts. The indemnification covers the first CHF
50 million ($39.1 million at the June 30, 2005 exchange rate), and 50% of an additional CHF 50 million, thereby providing CHF 75 million ($58.6 million) of
coverage against the first CHF 100 million ($78.1 million), of costs arising from onerous supply contracts.



Vantico concluded that certain of the products of its former Electronics division may have infringed patents owned by Taiyo and it entered into a license
agreement in October 2001 with Taiyo to obtain the right to use the Taiyo patents. This license agreement required payment of approximately $4.2 million in back royalties and agreement
to pay periodic royalties for future use. We believe that Ciba is liable under the indemnity provisions of certain agreements in connection with the leveraged buy out transaction in 2000 involving
Ciba and Vantico for certain payments made under the license agreement and related costs and expenses, and we initiated an arbitration proceeding against Ciba. In July 2004, we entered into a
settlement agreement with Ciba with respect to this matter. In general, the settlement agreement provided that Ciba would pay us $11.1 million in 2004. We received additional consideration in
the form of modifications to certain operating agreements between us and Ciba. In August 2004, we received payment of the $11.1 million settlement.

We
are a party to various other proceedings instituted by private plaintiffs, governmental authorities and others arising under provisions of applicable laws, including various
environmental, products liability and other laws. Except as otherwise disclosed in this report, we do not believe that the outcome of any of these matters will have a material adverse effect on our
financial condition,

results
of operations or liquidity. See Note 15 "Environmental, Health and Safety Matters" for a discussion of environmental proceedings.

15.   Environmental, Health and Safety Matters



We are subject to extensive federal, state, local and foreign laws, regulations, rules and ordinances relating to pollution, protection of the environment and the
generation, storage, handling, transportation, treatment, disposal and remediation of hazardous substances and waste materials. In the ordinary course of business, we are subject to frequent
environmental inspections and monitoring and occasional investigations by governmental enforcement authorities. In addition, our production facilities require operating permits that are subject to
renewal, modification and, in certain circumstances,
revocation. Actual or alleged violations of environmental laws or permit requirements could result in restrictions or prohibitions on plant operations, substantial civil or criminal sanctions, as well
as, under some environmental laws, the assessment of strict liability and/or joint and several liability. Moreover, changes in environmental regulations could inhibit or interrupt our operations, or
require us to modify our facilities or operations. Accordingly, environmental or regulatory matters may cause us to incur significant unanticipated losses, costs or liabilities.



We are committed to achieving and maintaining compliance with all applicable environmental, health and safety ("EHS") legal requirements, and we have developed
policies and management systems that are intended to identify the multitude of EHS legal requirements applicable to our operations, enhance compliance with applicable legal requirements, ensure the
safety of our employees, contractors, community neighbors and customers and minimize the production and emission of wastes and other pollutants. Although EHS legal requirements are constantly changing
and are frequently difficult to comply with, these EHS management systems are designed to assist us in our compliance goals while also fostering efficiency and improvement and minimizing overall risk
to us.



We may incur future costs for capital improvements and general compliance under EHS laws, including costs to acquire, maintain and repair pollution control
equipment. For the six months ended June 30, 2005 and 2004, our capital expenditures for EHS matters totaled $0.3 million and $0.5 million, respectively. Since capital
expenditures for these matters are subject to evolving regulatory requirements and depend, in part, on the timing, promulgation and enforcement of specific requirements, we cannot provide assurance
that our recent expenditures will be indicative of future amounts required under EHS laws.



On occasion, we receive notices of violation, enforcement and other complaints from regulatory agencies alleging non-compliance with applicable EHS
law. By way of example, we are aware of the individual matters set out below, which we believe to be the most significant presently pending matters and unasserted claims. Although we may incur costs
or penalties in connection with the governmental proceedings discussed below, based on currently available information and our past
experience, we believe that the ultimate resolution of these matters will not have a material impact on our results of operations, financial position or liquidity.

Our
subsidiary Huntsman Advanced Materials (U.K.) Ltd appeared at a hearing before the Cambridge Magistrates Court in the U.K in July 2005 with regard to charges filed
following an investigation by the U.K. Health and Safety Executive. The charges arose from alleged failures to

16

---



follow
applicable regulations for the management of asbestos contamination caused by construction activity at the Duxford, U.K. Advanced Materials facility between November 2002 and
January 2003. Huntsman Advanced Materials (UK) Ltd was fined £20,000 ($36,000 at the June 30, 2005 exchange rate) for allegedly violating Section 2 of the
Health and Safety at Work Act and £5,000 ($9,000) for allegedly violating Regulation 11 of the Construction (Design and Management) Regulations. We were also ordered to pay
£8,500 ($15,000) towards prosecutions costs. All other charges were withdrawn and the penalty has been paid.



We have incurred, and we may in the future incur, liability to investigate and clean up waste or contamination at our current or former facilities or facilities
operated by third parties at which we may have disposed of waste or other materials. Similarly, we may incur costs for the cleanup of wastes that were disposed of prior to the purchase of our
businesses. Under some circumstances, the scope of our liability may extend to damages to natural resources.

Some
of our manufacturing sites have an extended history of industrial chemical manufacturing and use, including on-site waste disposal. We are aware of soil, groundwater and
surface water contamination from past operations at some of our sites, and we may find contamination at other sites in the future. For example, we are aware that there is significant contamination,
largely related to a landfill and lagoons, at our McIntosh, Alabama plant site. Further, soil and groundwater contamination have been identified at our plants in Duxford, U.K. and Monthey,
Switzerland. Pursuant to certain agreements with respect to these sites, we expect that Ciba will have primary financial responsibility for such matters, although we may be required to contribute to
the costs of remediation in certain instances, and we believe that Ciba has the intention and ability to honor these agreements. Based on available information and the indemnification rights we
believe are likely to be available, we believe that the costs to investigate and remediate known contamination will not have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations
or cash flows, and therefore we have made no accrual for such liabilities as of June 30, 2005. However, if such indemnities are unavailable or do not fully cover the costs of investigation and
remediation or we are required to contribute to such costs, and if such costs are material, then such expenditures may have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations
or cash flows. At the current time, we are unable to estimate the full cost, exclusive of indemnification benefits, to remediate known contamination sites.



Under the European Union ("EU") Integrated Pollution Prevention and Control Directive ("IPPC"), EU member governments are to adopt rules and implement a
cross-media (air, water and waste) environmental permitting program for individual facilities. While the EU countries are at varying stages in their respective implementation of the IPPC permit
program, we have submitted all necessary IPPC permit applications required to date, and in some cases received completed permits from the applicable government agency. We expect to submit all other
IPPC applications and related documents on a timely basis as the various countries implement the IPPC permit program. Although we do not know with certainty what each IPPC permit will require, we
believe, based upon our experience with the permits received to date, that the costs of compliance with the IPPC permit program will not be material to our results of operations, financial position or
liquidity.

In
October 2003, the European Commission adopted a proposal for a new EU regulatory framework for chemicals. Under this proposed new system called "REACH" (Registration,
Evaluation and Authorization of Chemicals), companies that manufacture or import more than one ton of a chemical substance per year would be required to register such manufacture or import in a
central database. The REACH initiative, as proposed, would require risk assessment of chemicals, preparations (e.g., soaps and paints) and articles (e.g., consumer products) before those materials
could be

17

---



manufactured
or imported into EU countries. Where warranted by a risk assessment, hazardous substances would require authorizations for their use. This regulation could impose risk control strategies
that would require capital expenditures by us. As proposed, REACH would take effect in three primary stages over the eleven years following the final effective date (assuming final approval). The
impacts of REACH on the chemical industry and on us are unclear at this time because the parameters of the program are still being actively debated.

18.   Income Taxes

Income tax expense was $14.3 million and $27.7 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2005, respectively, and was
$1.7 million and $11.7 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2004, respectively. Substantially all non-U.S. operations are treated as branches of our
company for U.S. income tax purposes and are, therefore, subject to both U.S. and non-U.S. income tax. In addition, our tax obligations are affected by the mix of income and losses in the
tax jurisdictions in which we operate. Tax expense was a result of losses in jurisdictions where no tax benefit was provided and income in other jurisdictions where tax expense was recorded.

Our
effective income tax rate was 142% and 133% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2005, respectively, as compared to 23% and 72% for the same periods in 2004. Excluding
the impact of foreign exchange losses of $9.2 million and $22.1 million, which did not provide a benefit for tax purposes, our effective income tax rate would have been 74% and 64% for
the three and six months ended June 30, 2005, respectively. Tax expense above the U.S. statutory rate of 35% was primarily a
result of losses in jurisdictions where no tax benefit was provided, and income earned in non-U.S. jurisdictions subject to incremental U.S. tax.

We
use the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes. Deferred income taxes reflect the net tax effects of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets
and

18

---



liabilities
for financial and tax reporting purposes. We evaluate the resulting deferred tax assets to determine whether it is more likely than not that they will be realized. Valuation allowances
have been established against the entire U.S. and a material portion of the non-U.S. deferred tax assets due to the uncertainty of realization. Valuation allowances are reviewed each
period on a tax jurisdiction-by-jurisdiction basis to analyze whether there is sufficient positive or negative evidence to support a change in judgment about the realizability
of the related deferred tax asset.

19.   Condensed Consolidating Financial Statements

The following condensed consolidating financial statements present, in separate columns, financial information for the following: our company (on a parent only
basis), with our investment in subsidiaries recorded under the equity method; the Guarantors on a combined, and where appropriate, consolidated basis and the non-guarantors on a combined,
and where appropriate, consolidated basis. Additional columns present eliminating adjustments and consolidated totals as of June 30, 2005 and December 31, 2004 and for the three and six
months ended June 30, 2005 and June 30, 2004. There are no contractual restrictions limiting transfers of cash from guarantor subsidiaries to us. Each of the Guarantors is 100% owned by
us and has fully and unconditionally guaranteed the Senior Secured Notes on a joint and several basis. We have not presented separate financial statements and other disclosures for each of the
Guarantors because we believe that such information is not material to investors.

Overview

We are a leading global manufacturer and marketer of technologically advanced epoxy, acrylic and polyurethane-based polymer products. We focus on formulations and
systems that are used to address customer-specific needs in a wide variety of specialized industrial and consumer applications. Our products are used either as replacements for traditional materials
such as metal, wood, clay, glass, stone and ceramics, or in applications where traditional materials do not meet demanding engineering
specifications. Our business is characterized by the breadth of our product offering, our expertise in complex chemistry, our long-standing relationships with our customers and our ability
to develop and adapt our technology and our applications expertise for new markets and new applications. We operate 13 facilities in North America, Europe, Asia, South America and Africa. During the
first quarter of 2005, we restructured our marketing organization, reducing our total market groups from five to three. We currently market over 6,000 products to more than 5,000 customers in the
following market groups: Coatings, Construction and Adhesives; Power and Electronics; Design and Composites Engineering, as described below. Our operations have one reportable business segment.

Coatings, Construction and Adhesives

We produce formulated polymer systems, additives, basic and advanced epoxy resin compounds to provide structural stability and broad application functionality,
combined with overall economic efficiency, for a broad range of industrial coatings, construction and consumer applications. These products are used to make coatings for the protection of steel and
concrete substrates, such as floorings, metal furniture and appliances, buildings, linings of storage tanks and food and beverage cans, and the primer coat of automobile bodies and ships, among other
applications. We are a leading producer of basic liquid-epoxy resin and its basic derivatives, the building blocks for epoxy-based products in coating applications. In addition, we are a leading
manufacturer of complex chemicals and additives, such as curing agents, matting agents, accelerators, cross-linkers, reactive diluents and thermoplastic polyamides, which are used in combination with
epoxy resins to impart properties such as chemical and abrasion resistance and improved surface appearance.

We
produce innovative formulated polymer systems used as industrial and consumer adhesives based upon epoxy, polyurethane, acrylic and other materials, primarily marketed under the Araldite®brand
name. Our adhesives are used to bond materials such as steel, aluminum, and engineering plastics. The sales of our adhesive
systems have experienced rapid growth due to the continued

substitution
of adhesives for traditional joining techniques, such as welding and soldering, and the use of metal fasteners and clamps. We sell our adhesive products into industry-specific markets,
the general industrial bonding market and the consumer do-it-yourself market. Our primary industry-specific markets are DVD, printing inks, engineering adhesives, and liquefied
natural gas transport markets.

Power and Electronics

We produce formulated polymer systems based on epoxy and polyurethane resins which are used to insulate, protect or shield either the environment from electrical
current or electrical devices from the environment, such as temperature or humidity. We primarily sell our electrical products to customers in the electric power generation, transmission and
distribution, consumer and industrial electronics, automotive and appliance markets. We believe we have a leading market position globally in epoxy-based electrical insulating materials.

We
produce liquid formulated polymer systems used in the manufacture of electrolaminates, soldermasks, inner layer resists and dielectric materials for printed circuit boards.
Soldermasks are permanent coatings, resistant to heat, chemicals and the environment, that allow various components and circuitry to be soldered to the surface of a printed circuit board. Inner layer
resists are temporary photo-imageable materials that enable the generation of circuitry on the inner layers of printed circuit boards. Dielectric materials are materials with electrical insulation
properties that constitute an insulating layer in high-density, multi-layer printed circuit boards.

We
also produce electronic adhesive products for printed circuit board component assembly, hard disk drive gaskets and LED applications.

Design and Composites Engineering

We produce formulated polymer systems, complex chemicals and additives and basic and advanced epoxy resin compounds which are used to manufacture a variety of
fiber-reinforced materials with enhanced structural properties, known as structural composites. Structural composites are lightweight, high-strength, rigid materials with high resistance
to chemicals, moisture and high temperatures. We primarily sell our products to customers in the aerospace, automotive, wind power generation, and recreational sports equipment markets.

We
produce and market mainly polyurethane-based and epoxy formulated polymer systems used in the production of models, prototypes, patterns, molds and a variety of related products for
design, prototyping and short-run manufacture. Our products are used in the automotive, aerospace and industrial markets as productivity tools to quickly and efficiently create accurate
prototypes and develop experimental models, and to lower the cost of manufacturing items in limited quantities primarily using computer-aided-design techniques. These products are valued for their
strength, resilience, heat resistance, dimensional stability, low shrinkage, ease of curing and ability to simulate the look and feel of a variety of materials. These characteristics have allowed our
tooling and modeling materials to replace other materials traditionally used in these applications, such as wood, clay and engineering thermoplastics. Our products include photopolymers used in
stereolithography, a
process that combines computer-aided-design, laser technology and chemistry to permit a complex three-dimensional design to be rapidly replicated in finely-finished solid form.

Recent Developments

On June 13, 2005, we issued a notice of a partial redemption to redeem $50 million aggregate principal amount of the Floating Rate Notes. On
July 15, 2005, we completed the partial redemption and paid call premiums in the amount of $2.5 million. Following this redemption, we have $50 million aggregate principal amount
outstanding of Floating Rate Notes.

We
believe that net income (loss) is the performance measure calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP that is most directly comparable to EBITDA and that cash provided by (used
in) operating activities is the liquidity measure calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP that

Three months ended June 30, 2005 Compared to Three months ended June 30, 2004

Revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2005 increased by $22.9 million, or 8%, to $310.5 million from $287.6 million, as
compared to the same period in 2004, primarily attributable to a 13% increase in average selling prices, with sales volumes down 4%. Average selling prices were higher due to price increase
initiatives in certain markets in response to improved demand and higher raw material costs. Our ongoing portfolio re-alignment activities resulted in higher sales volumes in some of our
markets, which were more than offset by lower sales volumes of basic epoxy resins in the coatings and construction markets and reduced volumes of electronic laminates products in Power and
Electronics. By market group, our revenues are as follows:

 CCA (Coatings, Construction and Adhesives)

$165.4 million, up $22.7 million or 16% P&E (Power and Electronics)

$62.1 million, down $11.9 million or 16% DCE (Design and Composite Engineering)

$83.0 million, up $12.1 million or 17%


Gross
profit for the three months ended June 30, 2005 increased by $3.5 million, or 5%, to $72.5 million from $69.0 million in the same period in 2004. The
increase mainly resulted from stronger contribution margins in second quarter 2005. Margins improved on higher revenues, and improved product mix resulting from increased sales volumes of higher
margin Adhesives, Power and Design and Composite Engineering applications, which more than offset higher raw material and manufacturing costs.

Operating
expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2005 remained relatively constant and increased by $1.2 million, or 2%, as compared to the same period in 2004.

Income
tax expense for the three months ended June 30, 2005 increased by $12.6 million, or 741%, to $14.3 million from $1.7 million in the same period in
2004. Increased income tax expense was primarily due to increases in pre-tax income. Substantially all of our non-U.S. operations are treated as branches of the Company for
U.S. income tax purposes and are, therefore, subject to both U.S. and non-U.S. income tax. In addition, our tax obligations are affected by the mix of income and losses in the tax
jurisdictions in which we operate. Tax expense increased significantly as a result of increased losses in jurisdictions where little or no tax benefit was provided and income in other jurisdictions
where tax expense was recorded.

Our
effective income tax rate was 142% for the three months ended June 30, 2005 as compared to 23% for the same period in 2004. Excluding the impact of foreign exchange losses of
$9.2 million, for which we received no tax benefit, our effective income tax rate would have been 74% for the three months ended June 30, 2005. Tax expense above the U.S. statutory rate
of 35% was primarily a result of losses in jurisdictions where no tax benefit was provided and income earned in non-U.S. jurisdictions subject to incremental U.S. tax.

Six months ended June 30, 2005 Compared to Six months ended June 30, 2004

Revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2005 increased by $49.7 million, or 9%, to $622.0 million from $572.3 million, as compared
to the same period in 2004, primarily attributable to an 11% increase in average selling prices, with sales volumes down 2%. Average selling prices were higher due to price increase initiatives in
certain markets in response to improved demand and higher raw material costs. Our ongoing portfolio re-alignment activities resulted in higher sales volumes in some of our markets, more
than offset by lower sales volumes of basic epoxy resins in the coatings and construction markets and strongly reduced volumes of electronic laminates products in Power and Electronics. By market
group, our revenues are as follows:

 CCA (Coatings, Construction and Adhesives)

$325.6 million, up $44.9 million or 16% P&E (Power and Electronics)

$126.8 million, down $20.1 million or 14% DCE (Design and Composite Engineering)

$169.6 million, up $24.9 million or 17%


Gross
profit for the six months ended June 30, 2005 increased by $13.2 million, or 10%, to $150.5 million from $137.3 million in the same period in 2004. The
increase mainly resulted from stronger contribution margins in the 2005 period. Margins improved on higher revenues, and improved product mix resulting from increased sales volumes of higher margin
Adhesives, Power and Design and Composite Engineering applications, which more than offset higher raw material and manufacturing costs.

Operating
expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2005 increased by $8.9 million, or 9%, as compared to the same period in 2004, $17.6 million as a result of
foreign currency exchange losses, partially offset by our cost reduction initiatives.

Income
tax expense for the six months ended June 30, 2005 increased by $16.0 million, or 137%, to $27.7 million from $11.7 million in the same period in 2004.
Increased income tax expense was primarily due to increases in pre-tax income. Substantially all of our non-U.S. operations are treated as branches of the Company for U.S.
income tax purposes and are, therefore, subject to both U.S. and non-U.S. income tax. In addition, our tax obligations are affected by the mix of income and losses in the tax jurisdictions
in which we operate. Tax expense increased significantly as a result of increased losses in jurisdictions where little or no tax benefit was provided and income in other jurisdictions where tax
expense was recorded.

Our
effective income tax rate was 133% for the six months ended June 30, 2005 as compared to 72% for the same period in 2004. Excluding the impact of foreign exchange losses of
$22.1 million, which did not provide a benefit for tax purposes, our effective income tax rate would have been 64% for the six months ended June 30, 2005. Tax expense above the U.S.
statutory rate of 35% was primarily a result of losses in jurisdictions where no tax benefit was provided and income earned in non-U.S. jurisdictions is subject to incremental U.S. tax.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Cash

Net cash provided by operating activities for the six months ended June 30, 2005 was $29.4 million as compared to $2.5 million during the
comparable period in 2004. The increase of $26.9 million in cash flow from operating activities during the 2005 period was primarily attributable to a net decrease in changes in operating
assets and liabilities of $38.4 million and a favorable variance in adjustments to reconcile net income (loss) to net cash from operating activities attributed to unrealized loss on foreign
currency transactions of $8.6 million, which was partially offset by a decrease in net income of $11.4 million and an unfavorable variance in deferred income taxes of
$5.9 million.

Net
cash used in investing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2005 was $10.6 million as compared to $2.5 million used in investing activities during the
comparable period in 2004. Capital expenditures increased $6.8 million from $4.3 million in the six months ended June 30, 2004 to $11.1 million in the comparable period in
2005 largely due to increased capital spending on projects associated with our restructuring activities.

Net
cash used in financing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2005 was $0.6 million as compared to $0.3 million during the comparable period in 2004.

Debt and Liquidity



On June 30, 2003, we entered into the AdMat Revolving Credit Facility that provides up to $60 million of borrowings and is secured by a first lien
on substantially all of our assets and those of certain of our subsidiaries. The collateral includes substantially all real property and equipment relating to our
manufacturing plants located at Bergkamen, Germany; Monthey, Switzerland; McIntosh, Alabama; and Duxford, U.K. The collateral also includes intercompany notes of certain of our subsidiaries, and
certain other assets, principally including inventory and accounts receivable. Our obligations under the AdMat Revolving Credit Facility have been initially guaranteed by all of our U.S. subsidiaries
and certain of our non-U.S. subsidiaries (collectively, the "AdMat Guarantors"). The agent for the lenders under the AdMat Revolving Credit Facility and the trustee under the indenture
governing the Senior Secured Notes are parties to an intercreditor agreement (the "AdMat Intercreditor Agreement").

On
June 17, 2005, we amended the AdMat Revolving Credit Facility. This amendment included, among other things, the extension of the facility's maturity date from June 30,
2007 to July 15, 2007, the reduction in interest rate margins and the elimination of pledges of capital stock in subsidiaries as collateral under the facility. Interest rates, at our option,
are based upon either a eurocurrency rate (LIBOR) or a base rate (prime), plus an applicable spread. The applicable spreads vary based on a pricing grid. In the case of the eurocurrency-based loans,
spreads range from 1.25% to 1.5% per annum, depending on whether specified conditions have been satisfied, and, in the case of base rate loans, from 0.25% to 0.5% per annum. As of June 30,
2005, we had no amounts drawn on the AdMat Revolving Credit Facility and had approximately $4.0 million of letters of credit issued and outstanding under the AdMat Revolving Credit Facility.
The AdMat Revolving Credit Facility allows us to borrow up to $20 million secured by letters of credit; however, the $60 million revolving credit facility is reduced
dollar-for-dollar by any letters of credit outstanding. There are no scheduled debt amortization payments on the AdMat Revolving Credit Facility prior to its maturity date.

The
agreement governing the AdMat Revolving Credit Facility contains customary financial covenants; covenants relating to the incurrence of debt, the purchase and sale of assets,
limitations on investments and affiliate transactions; change in control provisions; events of default provisions; and acceleration provisions. Management believes that we were in compliance with the
covenants of the AdMat Revolving Credit Facility as of June 30, 2005.



In connection with the AdMat Transaction, on June 30, 2003, we issued $250 million of Fixed Rate Notes due 2010 and $100 million of Floating
Rate Notes due 2008, (collectively, the "Senior Secured Notes"). The $250 million Fixed Rate Notes bear a per annum fixed rate of interest of 11%, and the Floating Rate Notes bear interest at a
rate per annum equal to LIBOR plus 8.0%, subject to a floor with respect to LIBOR of 2.0%. As of June 30, 2005, the interest rate on the Floating Rate Notes was approximately 10.9%. Interest on
the Floating Rate Notes resets semiannually. The $100 million Floating Rate Notes were issued with an original issue discount of 2.0%, or for $98 million. The $2 million discount
is being amortized to interest expense over the term of the Floating Rate Notes. Interest is payable on the Senior Secured Notes semiannually on January 15 and July 15 of each year. The
effective interest rate on the Floating Rate Notes was approximately 11.1% as of June 30, 2005.

The
Senior Secured Notes are secured by a second lien, subject to the AdMat Intercreditor Agreement, on substantially all of the assets that secure the AdMat Revolving Credit Facility.
The Senior Secured Notes effectively rank senior in right of payment to all existing and future obligations of our company that are unsecured or secured by liens on the collateral junior to the liens
securing the Senior Secured Notes. The Senior Secured Notes are initially guaranteed on a senior basis by the

35

AdMat
Guarantors and are also supported by liens on substantially all of the assets of the AdMat Guarantors.

The
Fixed Rate Notes are redeemable on or after July 15, 2007 at our option at a price declining ratably from 105.5% to 100.0% of par value by the year 2009. The Floating Rate
Notes are redeemable on or after July 15, 2005 at our option at a price declining ratably from 105.0% to 100.0% of par value by the year 2007. On June 13, 2005, we issued a notice of
partial redemption to redeem $50 million aggregate principal amount of the Floating Rate Notes. On July 15, 2005, we completed the partial redemption and paid call premiums in the amount
of $2.5 million. Accordingly, we have classified the $50 million redemption amount as current in the balance sheet as of June 30, 2005. Following this redemption, we have
$50 million aggregate principal amount outstanding on the Floating Rate Notes. At any time prior to July 15, 2007 for the Fixed Rate Notes and July 15, 2005 for the Floating Rate
Notes, we may redeem all or part of such notes at 100% of their principal amount, plus a "make whole" premium, as defined in the indenture. In addition, at any time prior to July 15, 2006 for
the Fixed Rate Notes and July 15, 2005 for the Floating Rate Notes, we may redeem up to 35% of the original aggregate principal amount of the Senior Secured Notes at a redemption price of 111%
of the principal thereof with the net cash proceeds of one or more qualified equity offerings, subject to certain conditions and limitations. There are no scheduled debt amortization payments on the
Senior Secured Notes until their maturity date.

The
indenture governing the Senior Secured Notes contains covenants relating to the incurrence of debt, limitations on distributions, asset sales and affiliate transactions, among other
things. The indenture also contains a change of control provision requiring us to offer to repurchase the Senior Secured Notes upon a change of control. Management believes that we were in compliance
with the covenants of the indenture as of June 30, 2005.



As of June 30, 2005, we had $167.3 million of cash and unused borrowing capacity, including $111.3 million of cash and $56.0 million
in undrawn commitments on the AdMat Revolving Credit Facility. As noted above, on July 15, 2005, we used $52.5 million of our available cash to partially redeem $50 million
aggregate principal amount of our Floating Rate Notes, including call premiums. We believe our current available liquidity, together with funds generated by our businesses, will be sufficient to
meet the short-term and long-term needs of our businesses, including the funding of our operations and capital expenditures and the servicing of our debt obligations in the
ordinary course. We believe that we are currently in compliance with the covenants contained in our credit agreements and the indentures governing our notes.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We issue certain letters of credit and guarantees of certain short-term debt facilities and other obligations for some of our consolidated
subsidiaries. The maximum exposure under these letters of credit and guarantees is approximately $4.0 million as of June 30, 2005. We do not expect any material amounts to be drawn on
these instruments.

Other
than certain operating leases that are not material and the letter of credit arrangements noted above, all of which have been entered into in the normal course of business, we do
not have any off-balance sheet financing arrangements such as synthetic leases or securitization agreements. As such, we believe that we are not materially exposed to any financing,
liquidity, market or credit risk that may arise if we had engaged in such financing agreements.

Restructuring and Plant Closing Costs

As of December 31, 2004, accrued restructuring and plant closing costs consisted of $33.0 million related to the restructuring programs implemented
in association with the AdMat Transaction, the realignment and simplification of the commercial and technical organization and the closure of the Kaohsiung, Taiwan production facility.

During
the second quarter of 2005, we assessed the remaining restructuring reserves established in association with the AdMat Transaction and the 2004 initiatives described above and
concluded that $5.3 million and $0.8 million respectively were no longer necessary. Accordingly, we reversed these restructuring reserves during the second quarter of 2005. The AdMat
Transaction 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." The reversal of the restructuring reserve for the other 2004 initiatives was recorded as a credit to earnings. Also during the second quarter of 2005, we recorded restructuring and plant
closing charges of $0.2 million for relocation and other costs.

During
the six months ended June 30, 2005, activity in our restructuring reserves consisted of the following (dollars in millions):

Capital Expenditures

Capital expenditures for the six months ended June 30, 2005 were $11.1 million. We expect to spend approximately $37 million in 2005 on
capital expenditures, including approximately $20 million in capital projects associated with our restructuring efforts.

Environmental, Health and Safety Matters



We are subject to extensive federal, state, local and foreign laws, regulations, rules and ordinances relating to pollution, protection of the environment and the
generation, storage, handling, transportation, treatment, disposal and remediation of hazardous substances and waste materials. In the ordinary course of business, we are subject to frequent
environmental inspections and monitoring and occasional investigations by governmental enforcement authorities. In addition, our production facilities require operating permits that are subject to
renewal, modification and, in certain circumstances, revocation. Actual or alleged violations of environmental laws or permit requirements could result in restrictions or prohibitions on plant
operations, substantial civil or criminal sanctions, as well as, under some environmental laws, the assessment of strict liability and/or joint and several liability. Moreover, changes in
environmental regulations could inhibit or interrupt our operations, or require us to modify

37

---



our
facilities or operations. Accordingly, environmental or regulatory matters may cause us to incur significant unanticipated losses, costs or liabilities.



We are committed to achieving and maintaining compliance with all applicable environmental, health and safety ("EHS") legal requirements, and we have developed
policies and management systems that are intended to identify the multitude of EHS legal requirements applicable to our operations, enhance compliance with applicable legal requirements, ensure the
safety of our employees, contractors, community neighbors and customers and minimize the production and emission of wastes and other pollutants. Although EHS legal requirements are constantly changing
and are frequently difficult to comply with, these EHS management systems are designed to assist us in our compliance goals while also fostering efficiency and improvement and minimizing overall risk
to us.



We may incur future costs for capital improvements and general compliance under EHS laws, including costs to acquire, maintain and repair pollution control
equipment. For the six months ended June 30, 2005 and 2004, our capital expenditures for EHS matters totaled $0.3 million and $0.5 million, respectively. Since capital
expenditures for these matters are subject to evolving regulatory
requirements and depend, in part, on the timing, promulgation and enforcement of specific requirements, we cannot provide assurance that our recent expenditures will be indicative of future amounts
required under EHS laws.



On occasion, we receive notices of violation, enforcement and other complaints from regulatory agencies alleging non-compliance with applicable EHS
law. By way of example, we are aware of the individual matters set out below, which we believe to be the most significant presently pending matters and unasserted claims. Although we may incur costs
or penalties in connection with the governmental proceedings discussed below, based on currently available information and our past experience, we believe that the ultimate resolution of these matters
will not have a material impact on our results of operations, financial position or liquidity.

Our
subsidiary Huntsman Advanced Materials (U.K.) Ltd appeared at a hearing before the Cambridge Magistrates Court in the U.K in July 2005 with regard to charges filed
following an investigation by the U.K. Health and Safety Executive. The charges arose from alleged failures to follow applicable regulations for the management of asbestos contamination caused by
construction activity at the Duxford, U.K. Advanced Materials facility between November 2002 and January 2003. Huntsman Advanced Materials (UK) Ltd was fined £20,000
($36,000 at the June 30, 2005 exchange rate) for allegedly violating Section 2 of the Health and Safety at Work Act and £5,000 ($9,000) for allegedly violating
Regulation 11 of the Construction (Design and Management) Regulations. We were also ordered to pay £8,500 ($15,000) towards prosecutions costs. All other charges were withdrawn and
the penalty has been paid.



We have incurred, and we may in the future incur, liability to investigate and clean up waste or contamination at our current or former facilities or facilities
operated by third parties at which we may have disposed of waste or other materials. Similarly, we may incur costs for the cleanup of wastes that were disposed of prior to the purchase of our
businesses. Under some circumstances, the scope of our liability may extend to damages to natural resources.

38

Some
of our manufacturing sites have an extended history of industrial chemical manufacturing and use, including on-site waste disposal. We are aware of soil, groundwater and
surface water contamination from past operations at some of our sites, and we may find contamination at other sites in the future. For example, we are aware that there is significant contamination,
largely related to a landfill and lagoons, at our McIntosh, Alabama plant site. Further, soil and groundwater contamination have been identified at our plants in Duxford, U.K. and Monthey,
Switzerland. Pursuant to certain agreements with respect to these sites, we expect that Ciba will have primary financial responsibility for such matters, although we may be required to contribute to
the costs of remediation in certain instances, and we believe that Ciba has the intention and ability to honor these agreements. Based on available information and the indemnification rights we
believe are likely to be available, we believe that the costs to investigate and remediate known contamination will not have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations
or cash flows, and therefore we have made no accrual for such liabilities as of June 30, 2005. However, if such indemnities are unavailable or do not fully cover the costs of investigation and
remediation or we are required to contribute to such costs, and if such costs are material, then such expenditures may have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations
or cash flows. At the current time, we are unable to estimate the full cost, exclusive of indemnification benefits, to remediate known contamination sites.



Under the European Union ("EU") Integrated Pollution Prevention and Control Directive ("IPPC"), EU member governments are to adopt rules and implement a
cross-media (air, water and waste) environmental permitting program for individual facilities. While the EU countries are at varying stages in their respective implementation of the IPPC permit
program, we have submitted all necessary IPPC permit applications required to date, and in some cases received completed permits from the applicable government agency. We expect to submit all other
IPPC applications and related documents on a timely basis as the various countries implement the IPPC permit program. Although we do not know with certainty what each IPPC permit will require, we
believe, based upon our experience with the permits received to date, that the costs of compliance with the IPPC permit program will not be material to our results of operations, financial position or
liquidity.

In
October 2003, the European Commission adopted a proposal for a new EU regulatory framework for chemicals. Under this proposed new system called "REACH" (Registration,
Evaluation and Authorization of Chemicals), companies that manufacture or import more than one ton of a chemical substance per year would be required to register such manufacture or import in a
central database. The REACH initiative, as proposed, would require risk assessment of chemicals, preparations (e.g., soaps and paints) and articles (e.g., consumer products) before those materials
could be manufactured or imported into EU countries. Where warranted by a risk assessment, hazardous substances would require authorizations for their use. This regulation could impose risk control
strategies that would require capital expenditures by us. As proposed, REACH would take effect in three primary stages over the eleven years following the final effective date (assuming final
approval). The impacts of REACH on the chemical industry and on us are unclear at this time because the parameters of the program are still being actively debated.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

In January 2003, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Financial Interpretation No. ("FIN") 46, "Consolidation
of Variable Interest Entities." FIN 46 addresses the requirements for business enterprises to consolidate related entities, for which they do not have controlling interests
through voting or other rights, if they are determined to be the primary beneficiary as a result of variable economic interests. Transfers to a qualifying special purpose entity are not subject to
this interpretation. In December 2003, the FASB issued a replacement of FIN 46 (FIN 46R)

39

---



to
clarify certain complexities. We adopted this financial interpretation on January 1, 2005. The adoption of the standard had no impact on the financial statements.

In
November 2004, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 151, "Inventory Costsan amendment of ARB
No. 43." SFAS No. 151 requires abnormal amounts of idle facility expense, freight, handling costs, and wasted material 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 requirements of the standard will be
effective for inventory costs incurred during fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2005. We are reviewing SFAS No. 151 to determine the statement's impact on our consolidated financial
statements.

In
December 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 153, "Exchanges of Nonmonetary Assetsan amendment of APB Opinion
No. 29." SFAS No. 153 addresses the measurement of exchanges of nonmonetary assets and eliminates the exception from fair value measurement for nonmonetary
exchanges of similar productive assets in APB Opinion No. 29 and replaces it with an exception for exchanges that do not have commercial substance. SFAS No. 153 specifies that a
nonmonetary exchange has commercial substance if the future cash flows of the entity are expected to change significantly as a result of the exchange. The provisions of this standard are effective for
nonmonetary exchanges occurring in fiscal periods beginning after June 15, 2005. We will apply this standard prospectively.

In
December 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 123R, "Share Based Payment." SFAS No. 123R requires entities to measure
the cost of employee services received in exchange for an award of equity instruments based on the grant-date fair value of the award. That cost will be recognized over the period during
which the employee is required to provide services in exchange for the award. This standard eliminates the alternative to use the intrinsic value method of accounting for share-based payments as
previously provided in APB Opinion No. 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees." We adopted SFAS No. 123R effective
January 1, 2005, and have applied this standard prospectively to share-based awards issued to our employees in connection with Huntsman Corporation's initial public offering. In connection with
Huntsman Corporation's initial public offering of common stock on February 16, 2005, certain of our employees received Huntsman Corporation stock options and
restricted stock. Accordingly, we were allocated share-based compensation expense of $0.3 million and $0.4 million during the three and six months ended June 30, 2005
respectively. We did not have share-based awards prior to the awards issued in connection with Huntsman Corporation's initial public offering.

In
March 2005, the FASB issued FIN 47,"Accounting for Conditional Asset Retirement Obligations."FIN 47 clarifies the term conditional asset retirement
obligationused in SFAS No. 143,"Accounting for Asset Retirement
Obligations,"and clarifies when an entity would have sufficient information to reasonably estimate the fair value of an asset retirement obligation. FIN 47 is effective no
later than the end of December 2005. We are reviewing FIN 47 to determine its impact on our financial statements.

In
March 2005, the Emerging Issues Task Force issued a preliminary consensus on issue 04-13, "Accounting for Purchases and Sales of Inventory
with the Same Counterparty," that, if ratified by the FASB, would require 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 would be reflected at the recorded amount. We are evaluating the impact of this
preliminary consensus to determine its impact on our results of operations.

In
May 2005, the FASB issued SFAS No. 154,"Accounting Changes and Error Correctionsa replacement of APB Opinion No. 20 and FASB
Statement No. 3."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

40

---



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. SFAS No. 154 is effective for accounting changes and error corrections made after December 31, 2005. We will apply this
standard prospectively.

Critical Accounting Policies

There have been no changes in the six months ended June 30, 2005 with respect to our critical accounting policies as presented in Management's Discussion
and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations included in our Registration Statement on Form S-4 filed with the SEC on April 5, 2005 (File
No. 333-115344).

Cautionary Statement for Forward-Looking Information

Certain information set forth in this report contains "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of the federal securities laws. Forward-looking statements
include statements concerning our plans, objectives, goals, strategies, future events, future revenues or performance, capital expenditures, financing needs, plans or intentions relating to
acquisitions and other information that is not historical information. In some cases, forward-looking statements can be identified by terminology such as "believes," "expects," "may," "will,"
"should," "anticipates," or "intends" or the negative of such terms or other comparable terminology, or by discussions of strategy. We may also make additional forward-looking statements from time to
time. All such subsequent forward-looking statements, whether written or oral, by us or on our behalf, are also expressly qualified by these cautionary statements.

All
forward-looking statements, including without limitation, management's examination of historical operating trends, are based upon our current expectations and various assumptions.
Our expectations, beliefs and projections are expressed in good faith and we believe there is a reasonable basis for them, but, there can be no assurance that management's expectations, beliefs and
projections will result or be achieved. All forward-looking statements apply only as of the date made. We undertake no obligation to publicly update or revise forward-looking statements which may be
made to reflect events or circumstances after the date made or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events.

There
are a number of risks and uncertainties, including those discussed elsewhere in this report, that could cause our actual results to differ materially from the forward-looking
statements contained in or contemplated by this report. Any forward-looking statements should be considered in light of all such factors and the risks specified in our Registration Statement on
Form S-4 filed with the SEC on April 5, 2005 (File No. 333-115344).

ITEM 3.    QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

We are exposed to market risk, including changes in currency exchange rates, interest rates and certain commodity prices. To manage the volatility relating to
these exposures, from time to time, we enter into various derivative transactions. We hold and issue derivative financial instruments for economic hedging purposes only.

Currency Exchange Rates

Our cash flows and earnings are subject to fluctuations due to exchange rate variation. Our sales prices are typically denominated in euros or U.S. dollars. From
time to time, we may enter into foreign currency derivative instruments to minimize the short-term impact of movements in foreign currency rates. Short-term exposures to
changing foreign currency exchange rates at certain foreign subsidiaries are generally netted where practicable with exposures of other subsidiaries and the remaining exposures that, from time to
time, may be managed through financial market transactions, principally through the purchase of spot or forward foreign exchange contracts (with maturities of nine months or less) with

41

---



various
financial institutions, to reflect the currency denomination of our cash flows. We do not hedge our currency exposures in a manner that would entirely eliminate the effect of changes in
exchange rates on our cash flows and earnings. As of June 30, 2005, we had an outstanding forward foreign exchange contract, entered into on June 15, 2005, to sell
€12 million and purchase $14.5 million on July 13, 2005.

On
June 1, 2005, we entered into a cross-currency interest rate swap. The cross-currency swap requires us to pay euros and receive U.S. dollars on the maturity date of
July 15, 2007. The U.S. dollar notional amount is $31.3 million and bears interest at a fixed rate of 11.0%, payable semiannually on January 15 and July 15. The euro
notional amount is €25.0 million and bears interest at a fixed rate of approximately 9.4%, payable semiannually on January 15 and July 15. The swap is not
designated as a hedge for reporting purposes and is recorded at fair value. As of June 30, 2005, the fair value gain of $1.1 million was recorded in other noncurrent assets and as a
decrease in other operating expenses for both the three and six months ended June 30, 2005.

We
finance certain of our non-U.S. subsidiaries with intercompany loans. In some cases, these loans are denominated in currencies other than the subsidiaries' functional
currency. Foreign currency transaction gains and losses on intercompany loans that are expected to be repaid in the foreseeable future are recorded in earnings. Foreign currency transaction gains and
losses on intercompany loans that are not expected to be repaid in the foreseeable future ("Permanent Loans") are recorded in other comprehensive income. As a result of our review of certain of our
intercompany loans in the first half of 2005, we have increased the amount of our Permanent Loans. We expect that this will result in less foreign currency transaction gains and losses reflected in
earnings.

Interest Rates

As of June 30, 2005, we had outstanding $250 million aggregate principal amount of 11% Fixed Rate Notes due 2010 and we have $100 million
aggregate principal amount (issued with an original issue discount of 2%, or for $98 million) of Floating Rate Notes due 2008 that bear an annual interest rate equal to LIBOR plus 8%, with a
LIBOR floor of 2%. The undrawn AdMat Revolving Credit Facility due in 2007 is subject to variable rates of interest based upon either a eurocurrency rate (LIBOR) or a base rate (prime), plus an
applicable spread. As of June 30, 2005, except for the cross-currency interest rate swap discussed below, we had not entered into any interest rate agreements and we do not hedge our interest
rate exposure in a manner that would eliminate the effects of changes in market interest rates on our cash flow and earnings. Prior to the July 15, 2005 partial redemption of $50 million
of the Floating Rate Notes, assuming a 1.0% (100 basis points) increase in interest rates, the effect on the annual interest expense relative to the Floating Rate Notes would be an increase of
approximately $1 million.

On
June 1, 2005, we entered into a cross-currency interest rate swap. The cross-currency swap requires us to pay euros and receive U.S. dollars on the maturity date of
July 15, 2007. The U.S. dollar notional amount is $31.3 million and bears interest at a fixed rate of 11.0%, payable semiannually on January 15 and July 15. The euro
notional amount is €25.0 million and bears interest at a fixed rate of approximately 9.4%, payable semiannually on January 15 and July 15. The swap is not
designated as a hedge for reporting purposes and is recorded at fair value. As of June 30, 2005, the fair value gain of $1.1 million was recorded as in other noncurrent assets and as a
decrease in other operating expenses for both the three and six months ended June 30, 2005.

As
of June 30, 2005, the estimated fair value of our consolidated debt was approximately $388.7 million, and the weighted average interest rate of our combined borrowings
was approximately 10.9%.

Commodity Prices

We do not hedge our commodity exposure in a manner that would entirely eliminate the effects of changes in commodity prices on our cash flows and earnings. At
June 30, 2005, we had no outstanding forward purchase contracts. For further information regarding our financial and debt instruments, see Item 2, "Management's Discussion and Analysis of
Financial Condition and Results of OperationsDebt and Liquidity."

ITEM 4.    CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Our management, with the participation of our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and
procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the "Exchange Act")) as of June 30, 2005. Based on this
evaluation, our chief executive officer and chief financial officer have concluded that, as of June 30, 2005, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective, in that they ensure that
information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is (1) recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in
the Commission's rules and forms, and (2) accumulated and communicated to our management, including our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, as appropriate to allow timely
decisions regarding required disclosure.

No
changes to our internal control over financial reporting occurred during the three months ended June 30, 2005 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to
materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act). Huntsman Corporation and its
subsidiaries, including our Company, have engaged Ernst & Young LLP to assist management in its evaluation of our internal controls in preparation for the periodic management evaluations and
annual auditor attestation reports regarding the effectiveness of our "internal control over financial reporting" that will be required when the SEC's rules under Section 404 of the
Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 become applicable to us beginning with our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ending December 31, 2006 to be filed in the first quarter of
2007. We cannot give any assurance, however, that our internal controls will be effective when Section 404 becomes applicable to us. Ineffective internal controls could cause investors to lose
confidence in our reported financial information and could result in a lower trading price for our securities.

PART II.    OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1.    LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

Vantico concluded that certain of the products of its former Electronics division may have infringed patents owned by Taiyo and it entered into a license
agreement in October 2001 with Taiyo to obtain the right to use the Taiyo patents. This license agreement required payment of approximately $4.2 million in back royalties and agreement
to pay periodic royalties for future use. We believe that
Ciba is liable under the indemnity provisions of certain agreements in connection with the leveraged buy out transaction in 2000 involving Ciba and Vantico for certain payments made under the license
agreement and related costs and expenses, and we initiated an arbitration proceeding against Ciba. In July 2004, we entered into a settlement agreement with Ciba with respect to this matter. In
general, the settlement agreement provided that Ciba would pay us $11.1 million in 2004. We received additional consideration in the form of modifications to certain operating agreements
between us and Ciba. In August 2004, we received payment of the $11.1 million settlement.

We
are a party to various other proceedings instituted by private plaintiffs, governmental authorities and others arising under provisions of applicable laws, including various
environmental, products liability and other laws. Except as otherwise disclosed in this report, we do not believe that the outcome of any of these matters will have a material adverse effect on our
financial condition,
