EXPLANATORY NOTE

In the course of preparing a registration statement in October 2004 for the proposed initial public offering of the common stock of our ultimate parent, we
determined to reclassify certain amounts in our consolidated statements of cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2003, 2002 and 2001 to accurately reflect the effects of foreign currency
exchange gains and losses. As a result, we have restated the consolidated statements of cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2003, 2002 and 2001. The reclassifications have no impact on
our (i) consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss), (ii) consolidated balance sheets or (iii) increase (decrease) in cash and cash equivalents on our
consolidated statements of cash flows.

To
give effect to the restatement of our consolidated statements of cash flows, this Amendment No.1 on Form 10-K/A amends Part II, Item 7, "Management's
Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations," and Part II, Item 8, "Financial Statements and Supplementary Data," of our original report on
Form 10-K. In addition, this Amendment No. 1 amends Part II, Item 9A, "Controls and Procedures" of our original report on Form 10-K. This Amendment
No. 1 does not amend any other item of our original report on Form 10-K.

Except
as set forth above or as otherwise specifically indicated herein, this Amendment No. 1 does not reflect events occurring after the March 30, 2004 filing of our
original report on Form 10-K or modify or update the disclosures set forth in the original report in any way. As a result, this Amendment No. 1 contains forward-looking
information that has not been updated for events subsequent to the March 30, 2004 filing of our original report on Form 10-K, and we direct you to our SEC filings made
subsequent to March 30, 2004 for additional information.

PART II

ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

General

We derive our revenues, earnings and cash flow from the sale of a wide variety of differentiated and commodity chemicals. We manage our operations through our
four principal operating segments: Polyurethanes, Performance Products, Pigments and Base Chemicals. We manufacture products at facilities located in North America, Europe, Asia, Australia and Africa,
and our products are sold throughout the world. The major products of each reportable operating segment are as follows:

|Segment              |  | Products                                                   
|-------------------- |  | -----------------------------------------------------------
|Polyurethanes        |  | MDI, TDI, TPU, polyols, aniline, PO and MTBE               
|Performance Products |  | Surfactants, ethyleneamines and other performance chemicals
|Pigments             |  | Titanium dioxide                                           
|Base Chemicals       |  | Ethylene, propylene, benzene, cyclohexane and paraxylene   

Our
products are divided into two broad categoriesdifferentiated and commodity chemicals. Our Polyurethanes and Performance Products businesses mainly produce differentiated
products and our Pigments and Base Chemicals businesses mainly produce commodity chemicals. Among our commodity products, our Pigments business, while cyclical, tends to follow different trends and is
not influenced by the same factors as our petrochemical-based commodity products. In addition, there are a limited number of significant competitors in our Pigments business, relatively high barriers
to entry and strong customer loyalty. Each of our four operating segments is impacted to varying degrees by economic conditions, prices of raw materials and global supply and demand pressures.

Historically,
the demand for many of our Polyurethanes products, which accounted for 44% of our revenues in 2003, has been relatively resistant to changes in global economic conditions
as industry growth in product demand has been strongly influenced by continuing product substitution, innovation and new product development. The stability of demand has also benefited from the wide
variety of end markets for our Polyurethanes products. Historically, sales volumes of MDI, a Polyurethanes segment product, have grown at rates in excess of global GDP growth and margins for MDI have
been relatively stable. However, in the past year, volatile feedstock pricing has negatively impacted overall margins. The global market for PO, also a Polyurethanes product, is influenced by supply
and demand imbalances. PO demand is largely driven by growth in the polyurethane industry, and, as a result, growth rates for PO have generally exceeded GDP growth rates. As a co-product
of our PO manufacturing process, we also produce MTBE. MTBE is an oxygenate that is blended with gasoline to reduce harmful vehicle emissions and to enhance the octane rating of gasoline. See
"Environmental MattersMTBE Developments" below for more information on the legal and regulatory developments that may curtail or eliminate the use of MTBE in gasoline in the
future.

In
comparison to commodity businesses, the demand for many of the products we produce in our Performance Products segment historically has also been relatively resistant to changes in
global economic conditions. Like our Polyurethanes segment, Performance Products growth in general is strongly influenced by product substitution, innovation and new product development. Also, demand
stability benefits from a broad range of end markets. A significant portion of our Performance Products is sold into consumer end use applications including household detergents, personal care
products and cosmetics. As such, historically, demand for these products has been relatively stable and tends to be less susceptible to changes in global economic conditions.

Historically,
growth in demand for TiO2 pigments has generally been linked with GDP growth rates and has trended somewhat below overall GDP growth rates as strong growth in
the developing world economies has been tempered by modest growth in the developed world economies. Our Pigments segment accounted for 19% of our 2003 revenues. Pigment prices have historically
reflected industry-wide operating rates, but have typically lagged behind movements in these rates by up to twelve months due to the effects of product stocking and destocking by customers
and suppliers, contract arrangements and cyclicality. The industry experiences some seasonality in its sales because sales of paints in Europe and North America, the largest end use for
TiO2, are generally highest in the spring and summer months in those regions. This results in greater sales volumes in the first half of the year because the proportion of our
TiO2 products sold in Europe and North America is greater than that sold in the southern hemisphere.

Many
of the markets for the Base Chemicals products, particularly ethylene, propylene, paraxylene and cyclohexane, are cyclical and sensitive to changes in the balance between supply and
demand, the price of raw materials, and the level of general economic activity. Historically, these markets have experienced alternating periods of tight supply and rising prices and profit margins,
followed by periods of capacity additions resulting in over-capacity and falling prices and profit margins. Demand for the majority of our Base Chemicals has generally grown at rates that
are approximately equal to or slightly greater than GDP growth. Market conditions during recent years have been characterized by a general weakening in demand and overcapacity. We believe that weak
economic conditions have resulted in a contraction in production capacity. If this contraction in industry capacity is sustained and if demand growth returns to the rates which have been achieved
historically, we believe that industry profitability will improve.

Polyurethanes

For the year ended December 31, 2003, Polyurethanes revenues increased by $231.5 million, or 11%, to $2,297.5 million from
$2,066.0 million for 2002. MDI sales revenue increased by 11%, due to 11% higher average selling prices and relatively flat volumes. The overall lack of MDI volume growth was largely the result
of a reduction in spot sales to co-producers in 2003. MDI sales volumes, excluding spot sales, rose by 6%, with increases of 20%, 6% and 2% in Asia, the Americas and Europe, respectively,
driven by the improved rigid polyurethanes market in the fourth quarter 2003. MDI overall average selling prices increased by 11%, 7% of which was attributable to the strength of the major European
currencies versus the U.S. dollar and 4% of which was attributable to our continued efforts to increase sales prices as raw material costs increased. Polyol sales revenue increased by 16% as sales
volumes increased by 4%, consistent with underlying MDI volumes, and average selling prices increased by 12%, 7% of which was attributable to the strength of the major European currencies versus the
U.S. dollar. PO revenue decreased 8%, primarily due to the conversion of certain sales to a tolling arrangement, which affected revenues but only had a minimal impact on gross margin. MTBE sales
revenue increased by 14% due to a 7% increase in volumes and a 7% increase in selling prices due to stronger crude oil and gasoline markets.

For
the year ended 2003, Polyurethanes segment EBITDA decreased by $131.7 million to $233.4 million from $365.1 million for the same period in 2002. Lower EBITDA
resulted mainly from a $271.9 million increase in raw material and energy costs, partly offset by a $200.5 million improvement in average selling prices. We also recorded
$28.1 million in restructuring charges in connection with the integration of our global flexible products unit into our urethane specialties unit and cost reduction efforts at our Rozenburg,
Netherlands site. These charges are part of an overall cost reduction program that is expected to be implemented and recorded from 2003 to 2005. We also incurred a $2.5 million charge due to
the write-off of an asset formerly used in connection with our Geismar, Louisiana TDI facility. Fixed production costs increased $33.6 million, primarily due to the
$18.9 million impact of the strengthening of the major European currencies versus the U.S. dollar, increased pension costs of $10.1 million and a $7.1 million fixed cost
absorption as a result of a reduction in inventory levels.

SG&A
costs also increased $1.5 million due to a $16.6 million adverse foreign currency exchange impact, partly offset by $15.3 million in cost savings as measured in local
currencies.

Performance Products

For the year ended 2003, Performance Products revenues increased by $85.3 million, or 15%, to $659.6 million from $574.3 million in 2002.
Overall, Performance Products sales volumes fell by 4% and average selling prices increased by 20%, of which 12% was due to foreign currency movements. Surfactants revenues increased by 6% as compared
to 2002, resulting from a 15% increase in average
selling prices and a 7% decrease in sales volumes. Average selling prices of surfactants in local currencies fell due to intense competition, but our selling prices increased by 19% due to the
strength of the major European currencies versus the U.S. dollar. The reduction in surfactants' sales volumes was largely the result of softer European demand, competitive activity and decreased
export business as a result of the strength of the major European currencies versus the U.S. dollar. Ethyleneamines revenues increased by 17% compared with 2002, resulting primarily from a 7% increase
in average selling prices and a 9% increase in sales volumes. The increase in ethyleneamines average selling prices was due to price increases implemented to offset increased raw material costs. Sales
volumes of ethyleneamines increased largely due to higher export sales. Other sales revenues, primarily amines, increased by 56% compared with 2002. This increase resulted primarily from a 19%
increase in sales volumes and a 31% increase in average selling prices. These increases were primarily the result of the initiation of tolling agreements with affiliates.

For
the year ended 2003, Performance Products segment EBITDA decreased by $43.0 million to a loss of $15.8 million from a profit of $27.2 million in 2002.
Restructuring costs in the year ended December 31, 2003 were $17.5 million higher than in the same period in 2002, due to the $20.1 million charge taken in connection with the
closure of certain units at our Whitehaven, UK facility in September 2003 and $2.0 million charged in respect of severance costs arising from the closure of an administrative office in
London, UK, the rationalization of our surfactants technical center in Oldbury, UK and the restructuring of our Spanish facility in Barcelona, Spain. Lower sales volumes negatively impacted EBITDA by
approximately $3.7 million. An $89.0 million increase in selling prices was largely offset by raw material cost increases of $87.5 million. Fixed production costs were relatively
unchanged as negative currency impacts of $10.0 million were offset by the effect of cost reduction programs and the operation of only one of our two ethyleneamines units at our Freeport, Texas
facility for much of the year. SG&A and other operating costs increased by $22.6 million, of which $9.0 million was attributable to adverse currency movements and $9.0 million of
which was due mainly to costs paid to Huntsman LLC under tolling and commercial arrangements for the sale of performance products on their behalf, which were entirely offset by the margin earned on
the sale of such products.

Pigments

For the year ended December 31, 2003, Pigments revenues increased by $129.6 million, or 15%, to $1,009.9 million from $880.3 million
for the same period in 2002. Average selling prices increased by 13%, of which 9% resulted from the strength of the major European currencies versus the U.S. dollar, and the remainder of which
resulted from improved supply and demand conditions. Average selling prices as measured in local currencies increased by 5%, 3% and 6% in Europe, North America and Asia-Pacific ("APAC"),
respectively, due to price increases implemented in early 2003 as a result of favorable supply and demand conditions that existed at that time. Sales volumes increased overall by 1%, with North
America and APAC both showing an increase of 6%, while Europe was unchanged.

For
the year ended December 31, 2003, Pigments segment EBITDA increased by $37.1 million to $105.4 million from $68.3 million in 2002. The increase in EBITDA
is primarily a result of a $114.6 million increase in selling prices and the $5.3 million impact of the 1% increase in sales volume, partially offset by an increase in manufacturing
costs of $83.6 million. The manufacturing costs increase

6

---



was
caused mainly by foreign currency movements of $84.3 million, which were partially offset by savings of $4.8 million, as measured in local currencies, from our cost reduction
initiatives. SG&A and other operating costs increased by $1.6 million mainly due to an increase in restructuring charges of $3.4 million and a $3.2 million increase in pension
costs, partially offset by the release of $2.6 million of surplus environmental provisions recorded in relation to our Tracy, Canada facility which was closed in 2000.

Base Chemicals

For the year ended December 31, 2003, Base Chemicals revenues increased by $324.3 million, or 30%, to $1,421.8 million from
$1,097.5 million for 2002. The increase in revenues was caused by a 33% increase in average selling prices, partially offset by a 3% reduction in overall sales volumes. Base Chemicals average
selling prices were up 21% in response to higher raw material and energy prices and favorable supply and demand conditions, and 12% due to the strength of the major European currencies versus the U.S.
dollar. The reduction in Base Chemicals volumes was caused primarily by reduced sales of raw materials, primarily naptha, which we sell from time to time as favorable opportunities arise. Ethylene
revenues increased 39%, resulting from a 12% increase in volumes and a 24% increase in average sales prices. Propylene revenues increased 50%, resulting from a 17% increase in volumes and a 28%
increase in average sales prices. Paraxylene revenues increased 28%, resulting from a 4% decrease in volumes and a 34% increase in average sales prices. Benzene revenues increased 17%, resulting from
a 15% decrease in volumes and a 37% increase in average sales prices. Cyclohexane revenues increased 41%, resulting from a 7% increase in volumes and a 32% increase in average sales prices. Sales
volume increases for ethylene and propylene reflected increased demand and the fact that 2002 included a turnaround at our Wilton, U.K. olefins facility.

For
the year ended December 31, 2003 Base Chemicals segment EBITDA increased by $63.9 million to $77.7 million from $13.8 million in 2002. Increased segment
EBITDA primarily resulted from the impact of increased selling prices of $348.4 million, offset by increased raw material costs of $258.2 million, mainly due to a 23% increase in the
cost of our main feedstock, naphtha. Fixed production costs increased $37.0 million, of which $16.0 million was due to foreign currency impacts, $11.0 million due to costs
reclassified from SG&A and $7.0 million due to higher pension costs. SG&A costs decreased $11.9 million, which included $11.0 million of costs reclassified as fixed production
costs, insurance claim recoveries of $2.6 million and recoveries from the sale of precious metals used in the manufacturing process amounting to $3.0 million. These SG&A cost decreases
were partially offset by $2.4 million associated with various terminated capital projects and reduced foreign currency translation gains of $1.9 million.

Corporate and Other

Corporate and other items includes unallocated corporate overhead, loss on our accounts receivable securitization program and unallocated foreign exchange gains
and losses. For the year ended December 31, 2003, EBITDA from corporate and other items increased by $13.6 million to $19.4 million from $5.8 million for 2002. The increase
resulted primarily from increased unallocated foreign exchange gains caused primarily by the strength of the major European currencies versus the U.S. dollar. Unallocated foreign exchange gains were
$48.3 million higher, with a gain of $95.3 million in the year ended December 31, 2003 as compared to a gain of $47.0 million in the year ended December 31, 2002. In
general, our unallocated foreign exchange gains and losses result primarily from movements in the foreign exchange rates used to translate the current portion of intercompany balances to the
functional currency at the end of the period and from the translation of foreign currency receivable balances sold into our accounts receivable securitization program to U.S. dollars.

The
increased unallocated foreign exchange gains were partially offset by increased losses on the accounts receivable securitization program, which increased by $26.9 million to a
loss of $32.4 million

7

---



in
the year ended December 31, 2003 as compared to a loss of $5.5 million in 2002. Losses on the accounts receivable securitization program include the discount on receivables sold into
the program, fees and expenses associated with the program and gains (losses) on foreign currency hedge contracts mandated by the terms of the program to hedge currency exposures on the collateral
supporting the off-balance sheet debt issued. The increased losses on the accounts receivable securitization program were primarily due to losses on foreign exchange hedge contracts
mandated by our accounts receivable securitization program and the increase in the size of our securitization facility effective October 2002. Other cost increases were the result of a higher
management fee paid to Huntsman LLC of $3.5 million, an asset valuation adjustment of $2.8 million, and the expensing of $1.1 million of abandoned transaction costs.

Year Ended December 31, 2002 Compared to Year Ended December 31, 2001

For the year ended December 31, 2002, we had a net loss of $68.5 million on revenues of $4,518.1 million, compared to a net loss of
$139.4 million on revenues of $4,575.2 million in 2001. The increase of $70.9 million in net income was the result of the following items:

Polyurethanes

For the year ended December 31, 2002, Polyurethanes revenues decreased by $7.7 million to $2,066.0 million from $2,073.7 million in
2001. MDI sales volumes increased by 4%. Volumes in the Americas increased by 11% and volumes in Asia decreased by 5%, while volumes in Europe remained stable. Volumes in the Americas increased due to
a strong growth in the Americas MDI market. MDI volumes in Asia were lower primarily due to reduced sales under co-producer arrangements and a slowdown in the insulation foam market. MDI
average selling prices decreased by 1%, with prices down in all regions except Europe, where prices increased by 3% primarily due to the strengthening of the major European currencies versus the U.S.
dollar. Polyols sales revenue increased by 8%, due to a 9% increase in volumes. PO sales revenue decreased by 1% with volumes down 6% due to the conversion of some product sales agreements to tolling
arrangements while average selling prices increased by 4% in 2002. MTBE sales revenue decreased by 7% as compared to the same period in 2001. MTBE sales volumes were relatively unchanged from the
prior year, however, average selling prices decreased by 6% due to lower gasoline prices in 2002.

For
the year ended 2002, Polyurethanes segment EBITDA increased by $102.4 million to $365.1 million from $262.7 million for the same period in 2001. Increased EBITDA
resulted from increased overall sales volumes and overall lower energy and feedstock prices, which more than offset the decline in average selling prices discussed above. Segment EBITDA also increased
as 2001 results included a charge of $44.7 million which was mainly the result of restructuring activities and the closure of our Shepton Mallet, UK polyols manufacturing facility. SG&A costs,
including research and development costs, remained relatively flat in 2002 as compared to 2001. Lower costs resulting from our cost reduction initiatives were offset by foreign exchange losses, bad
debt expenses and increased pension costs in 2002.

Performance Products

For the year ended December 31, 2002, Performance Products revenues increased by $119.0 million, or 26%, to $574.3 million from
$455.3 million in 2001. Surfactants revenues increased by

9

---



45%
due to a 43% increase in sales volumes while average selling prices remained relatively unchanged. Increased surfactants revenues are largely due to non-comparable sales as the
surfactants business was acquired in April 2001. Excluding non-comparable sales, surfactants revenues increased by 10% in 2002 as compared to 2001. Ethyleneamines revenues increased
by 27% due to a 45% increase in sales volumes and a 29% decrease in average selling prices. Increased ethlyeneamines revenues were due to non-comparable sales from the ethyleneamines
business we acquired in February 2001. Excluding non-comparable sales, ethyleneamines sales increased by 14%. Increased volumes and decreased selling prices mainly resulted from
increased sales into the APAC region which has lower average selling prices. Increased volumes were due to improved market conditions in 2002 and the benefit of starting a second production train at
our Freeport, Texas facility in late third quarter 2002.

For
the year ended 2002, Performance Products segment EBITDA increased by $6.1 million to $27.2 million from $21.1 million in 2001. During 2002 Performance Products
benefited from increased overall sales volumes, lower average raw materials costs and non-comparable results for businesses acquired in the first quarter 2001. These results were offset by
increased SG&A costs resulting from ongoing restructuring activities, including $4.6 million of costs related to the closure of our Alcover, Spain surfactants plant.

Pigments

For the year ended December 31, 2002, Pigments revenues increased by $8.2 million, or 1%, to $880.3 million from $872.1 million in
2001. Sales volumes increased by 7% due to higher end-use demand for TiO2 and customer re-stocking activity ahead of expected price increases. Sales volumes
increased by 14%, 14% and 2% in North America, Asia, and Europe, respectively. Average selling prices decreased by 6%, with average selling prices decreasing by 10%, 9%, and 3% in North America, Asia,
and Europe, respectively, due to an unfavorable industry supply-demand balance during 2001, which negatively impacted selling prices in 2002. Lower local currency prices were partially offset by
favorable movements in exchange rates. Average selling prices were increasing toward the end of the year with average selling prices 7% higher in the fourth quarter of 2002 than they were in the
fourth quarter of 2001.

For
the year ended December 31, 2002, Pigments segment EBITDA decreased by $71.1 million to $68.3 million from $139.4 million in the same period in 2001. The
decline in segment earnings is mainly due to an unfavorable supply-demand balance during 2001, which negatively impacted selling prices in 2002. Manufacturing costs increased mainly due to higher
pension and insurance costs and adverse movements in currency exchange rates. SG&A costs increased in 2002 mainly due to costs associated with the implementation of an SAP software system and
increased pension costs. During 2002, we incurred a $3.1 million charge from asset write-offs related to the closure of a facility in Greatham, UK.

Base Chemicals

For the year ended December 31, 2002, Base Chemicals revenues decreased by $171.1 million, or 13%, to $1,097.5 million from
$1,268.6 million in 2001. Lower revenues were largely due to decreased average selling prices on ethylene and paraxylene, decreased sales volumes in ethylene and propylene and lower levels of
activity in the hedging of feedstocks settling through revenues. The discontinuance of cumene sales, which occurred in the first quarter of 2002, also contributed to the decreased revenue. Average
selling prices of ethylene and paraxylene fell by 11% in 2002 as compared with 2001, due to the impact of lower underlying feedstock costs. Benzene average selling prices increased by 16% in 2002 as
the result of improved market conditions. Propylene prices were relatively unchanged. Sales volumes of ethylene, propylene and benzene decreased by 6%, 22% and 16%, respectively, while paraxylene and
cyclohexane sales volumes increased by 17% and 61%, respectively. Ethylene and propylene sales were lower due to the turnaround and inspection overhaul in the second quarter, and

10

---



reduced
demand in the fourth quarter. Cyclohexane sales were higher in 2002 due to higher production.

For
the year ended December 31, 2002, Base Chemicals segment EBITDA decreased by $6.6 million to $13.8 million from $20.4 million in 2001. Decreased EBITDA
was mainly due to lower sales volumes of ethylene and propylene, and lower selling prices for ethylene and paraxylene. Margins in the olefins market were lower in 2002. The effect of reduced selling
prices was compounded by a 1% increase in the cost of naphtha, our primary feedstock. Lower segment EBITDA also resulted from the cost of purchasing product to cover the second quarter turnaround and
inspection overhaul of our olefins facility. SG&A costs, including research and development expenditures, were relatively unchanged in 2002 as compared to 2001.

Corporate and Other

Corporate and other items includes unallocated corporate overhead, loss on our accounts receivable securitization program and unallocated foreign exchange gains
and losses. For the year ended December 31, 2002, EBITDA from corporate and other items increased by $66.2 million to $5.8 million from a loss of $60.4 million for 2001.
Administrative and other expenses decreased mainly due to $47.0 million of unallocated foreign exchange gains in 2002 versus $2.9 million of gains in 2001. Unallocated foreign exchange
gains resulted from the strengthening of the major European currencies versus the U.S. dollar. In addition, loss on the accounts receivable securitization program decreased $7.3 million to a
loss of $5.5 million in 2002 from a loss of $12.8 million in 2001. Unallocated SG&A expenses decreased by approximately $11.0 million due to lower legal costs in 2002 and certain
abandoned transaction costs in 2001.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Cash

Net cash provided by operating activities for the year ended December 31, 2003 decreased to $98.5 million from $178.1 million for 2002. The
variance is primarily attributable to reduced operating income as explained above in addition to a net increase in cash used in net working capital in 2003.

Net
cash used in investing activities for the year ended December 31, 2003 decreased to $135.7 million from $188.9 million for 2002. The decrease in cash used in
2003 was largely attributable to increased spending in 2002 in connection with the ICON modernization and expansion of our titanium dioxide manufacturing facility at Greatham, U.K. and the SAP project
within our Pigments segment, both of which were completed in 2002.

Net
cash provided by financing activities for the year ended December 31, 2003 increased to $54.4 million, as compared to $1.1 million for 2002. The increase in cash
provided by financing activities is mainly a result of increased net borrowings to fund operating cash requirements as explained above.

Debt and Liquidity

On April 11, 2003, HI sold $150 million (in addition to $300 million previously issued) in aggregate principal amount of 9.875% Senior Notes
due 2009 (the "HI Senior Notes"). The offering was priced at 105.25% plus accrued interest from March 1, 2003. HI used approximately $26 million of the net proceeds to repay part of the
revolving portion of the HI Credit Facilities. The balance of the net proceeds was used primarily to prepay the scheduled amortization due under the term portion of the HI Credit Facilities. HI also
has outstanding $600 million and €450 million 10.125% Senior Subordinated Notes (the "HI Subordinated Notes").

11

---



The
HI Credit Facilities consist of a revolving loan facility of up to $400 million that matures on June 30, 2005 (the "HI Revolving Facility"), a term B loan
facility of $620.1 million as of December 31, 2003 that matures on June 30, 2007, and a term C loan facility of $620.1 million as of December 31, 2003 that
matures on June 30, 2008. As of December 31, 2003, HI had outstanding variable rate borrowings of approximately $1.3 billion and the weighted average interest rate of these
borrowings was approximately 5.6%. This weighted average rate does not consider the effects of interest rate hedging activities.

On
October 17, 2003, HI amended the HI Credit Facilities. The amendment provides, among other things, for changes to certain financial covenants, including an increase in the
leverage and interest coverage ratios, a decrease in the annual amount of permitted capital expenditures, and a decrease in the consolidated net worth covenant. With the exception of the changes
relating to capital expenditures, these changes to the financial covenants apply to the quarterly period ended September 30, 2003 and will continue through the quarterly period ending
December 31, 2004. The amendment also allowed for the issuance of $205 million of additional term B and term C loans, which HI accomplished on October 22, 2003, the
net proceeds of which have been applied to pay down the HI Revolving Facility by approximately $53 million, and the remainder of the net proceeds have been applied to repay, in full, the
term A loan. As a result of these refinancings, we have no scheduled maturities in 2004 and scheduled maturities of approximately $12 million in each of 2005 and 2006 under HI's
term B and term C loans. The amendment also allows HI to issue additional senior unsecured notes up to a maximum of $800 million.

We
depend upon the $400 million HI Revolving Facility to provide liquidity for our operations and working capital needs. As of December 31, 2003, HI had
$22.0 million of outstanding borrowings and approximately $7 million of outstanding letters of credit under the HI Revolving Facility, and HI had $97.8 million in cash balances on
the balance sheet. HI also maintains $25.0 million of short-term overdraft facilities, of which $17.5 million was available at December 31, 2003. Our total cash and
unused borrowing capacity as of December 31, 2003 was approximately $486 million. The HI Revolving Facility matures in June 2005, and we anticipate addressing the maturity of this
facility within the next 6 to 12 months.

We
also depend upon an accounts receivable securitization program arranged by JP Morgan, under which interests in certain of our trade receivables are transferred to a qualified
off-balance sheet entity (the "Receivables Trust"). The Receivables Trust is not an affiliate of our Company. The acquisitions of these receivables by the Receivables Trust are financed
through the issuance of commercial paper and/or medium term notes. The debt associated with the commercial paper and medium term notes is not reflected on our balance sheet. The accounts receivable
securitization program is an important source of liquidity to our Company.

A
portion of the medium term notes (€90.5 million) is denominated in euros and is subject to fluctuation in currency rates against the U.S. dollar. The total
outstanding balance of medium term notes is approximately $198 million in U.S. dollar equivalents as of December 31, 2003. In addition to medium term notes, the Receivables Trust also
maintains an annual commitment with a third party to issue commercial paper for an amount up to $125 million. As of December 31, 2003, the total outstanding balance of such commercial
paper was approximately $100 million. We are currently in the process of amending this commercial paper facility to be a multiyear, multicurrency facility (U.S. dollars and euros) that would
mature in March 2007.

Subject
to the annual seasonality of our accounts receivable, we estimate that the total liquidity resources from the accounts receivable securitization program may range between
$270 million to $310 million at certain periods during a calendar year. As of December 31, 2003, the Receivables Trust had approximately $432 million of total assets
(consisting of cash and accounts receivable), and $198 million of medium term notes and $100 million of commercial paper outstanding. The weighted

12

---



average
interest rates on the medium term notes and commercial paper was approximately 2.1% as of December 31, 2003. However, losses on the accounts receivable securitization program in 2003
were $32.4 million. Losses on the accounts receivable securitization program include the discount on receivables sold into the program, fees and expenses associated with the program and gains
(losses) on foreign currency hedge contracts mandated by the terms of the program to hedge currency exposures on the collateral supporting the off-balance sheet debt issued. For the year
ended December 31, 2003, losses on the accounts receivable securitization program include losses of $24.6 million on foreign currency hedge contracts mandated by the accounts receivable
securitization program. We believe that a multicurrency facility will enable us, in the future, to better naturally hedge the off-balance sheet debt to the underlying collateral supporting
such debt and thereby reduce the impact on, and need for, foreign currency hedges under the accounts receivable securitization program.

The
HI Credit Facilities require a mandatory prepayment to the extent that the proceeds from the securitization program exceed $310 million. To date, proceeds from the accounts
receivable securitization program have not exceeded this limit. While we do not anticipate it, if at any time we were unable to sell sufficient receivables into the program to support the volume of
commercial paper and medium term notes issued under the program, we would be required to inject cash into the program as collateral. Under such circumstance, and depending on the timing of such
circumstance, the requirement to provide cash collateral to the program could have a negative effect on our liquidity.

We
believe our current liquidity, together with funds generated by our operations, is sufficient to meet the short-term and long-term needs of our businesses,
including funding operations, making capital expenditures and servicing our debt obligations in the ordinary course. We believe we are currently in compliance with the covenants contained in the
agreements governing our debt obligations.

Restructuring and Plant Closing Charges

We have incurred restructuring and plant closing costs totaling $56.7 million, $7.7 million and $46.6 million for the years ended
December 31, 2003, 2002 and 2001, respectively.



In March 2003, our Polyurethanes segment announced that it would integrate its global flexible products unit into its urethane specialties unit, and we
recorded a restructuring charge of $19.2 million for workforce reductions of approximately 118 employees. In June 2003, our Polyurethanes segment announced further restructuring at its
Rozenburg, Netherlands site, related primarily to workforce reductions of approximately 54 employees. The total estimated costs for the Rozenburg restructuring is estimated to be $12.0 million
and will be recorded as expense during 2003 to 2005. During 2003, $7.1 million was recorded as expense for this restructuring. In December 2003, our Polyurethanes segment announced
additional restructuring at Polyurethanes sites across the world, related primarily to workforce reductions of approximately 53 employees. The total estimated cost for this restructuring is estimated
to be $6.7 million and will be recorded as expense during 2003 and 2004. During 2003, $1.8 million was recorded as expense for this restructuring. At December 31, 2003,
$13.4 million remains in the reserve for restructuring and plant closing costs related to these restructuring activities.

In
June 2003, we announced that our Performance Products segment would close a number of plants at our Whitehaven, UK facility and reduce its workforce by approximately 85
employees. In 2003, a charge of $20.1 million was recorded representing $11.4 million relating to an impairment of assets at Whitehaven (in connection with the plant shutdowns) and
$8.7 million of workforce reduction costs. We also recorded a $2.0 million charge in respect of severance costs arising from the closure of an administrative office in London, UK, the
rationalization of our surfactants technical center in Oldbury, UK and the restructuring of our Spanish facility in Barcelona, Spain. At December 31, 2003, $2.4 million remains in the
reserve for restructuring and plant closing costs related to these restructuring activities. In March 2004, we announced an additional restructuring at our Whitehaven, UK facility related to
the relocation and consolidation of various plants, equipment and workshop facilities, and the development of a centralized control room to help improve the integrity and productivity of the main site
assets. Total restructuring costs associated with this project are expected to be $11.1 million and include an asset write down of approximately $5.0 million and a reduction in workforce
of approximately 45 employees. The remaining restructuring costs will be recorded as expense during 2004 to 2007.

In
August 2003, we announced restructuring activities related to our global workforce reductions of approximately 250 employees in our Pigments segment. The overall cost reduction
program for this segment is estimated to be approximately $23.0 million and will be implemented and recorded from 2003 to 2005. During 2003, we recorded a restructuring charge of
$6.5 million related to workforce reductions of approximately 63 employees across all of our Pigments operations worldwide. At December 31, 2003, $4.3 million remains in the
reserve for restructuring and plant closing costs related to these restructuring activities.



In 2002, our Pigments segment recorded $3.1 million in asset write-downs related to the closure of our titanium dioxide manufacturing facility in Greatham,
UK.

During
2002, our Performance Products segment recorded $4.6 million in charges which relate to restructuring and the write-down of fixed assets. The costs relate to
the closure of the Alcover, Spain surfactants plant for $1.4 million, write-down of $1.6 million related to the assets of the Castiglione, Italy surfactants plant and various
sales offices closed and $1.6 million for other exit costs.

At
December 31, 2003, $2.4 million remains in the reserve for restructuring and plant closing costs related to the 2002 restructuring.



During 2001, our Polyurethanes segment announced a cost reduction program which included the closure of the Shepton Mallet, U.K. polyols manufacturing facility by
the end of 2002, resulting in a charge of $44.7 million. The program included reductions in workforce of approximately 270 employees at the Shepton Mallet facility and other locations.
Approximately $7.8 million was recorded to write-down the fixed assets, $36.1 for employee termination benefits and $0.8 million for other exit costs.

Our
Pigments segment recorded $1.9 million in restructuring charges related to a workforce reduction of approximately 50 employees.

As
of December 31, 2003, all costs related to the 2001 restructuring programs were paid.

As
of December 31, 2003, accrued restructuring and plant closing costs consist of the following (dollars in millions):

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

As discussed in "Debt and Liquidity" above, we maintain an accounts receivable securitization program arranged by JP Morgan, under which interests in
certain of our trade receivables are transferred to the Receivables Trust, a qualified special-purpose off-balance-sheet entity. The Receivables Trust is not an affiliate of our Company.
The acquisitions of these receivables by the Receivables Trust are financed through the issuance of commercial paper and/or medium term notes. The debt associated with the commercial paper and medium
term notes is not reflected on our balance sheet. The accounts receivable securitization program is an important source of liquidity to our Company.

A
portion of the medium term notes (€90.5 million) is denominated in euros and is subject to fluctuation in currency rates against the U.S. dollar. The total
outstanding balance of medium term notes is approximately $198 million in U.S. dollar equivalents as of December 31, 2003. In addition to medium term notes, the Receivables Trust also
maintains an annual commitment with a third party to issue commercial paper for an amount up to $125 million. As of December 31, 2003, the total outstanding balance of such commercial
paper was approximately $100 million. We are currently in the process of amending this commercial paper facility to be a multiyear, multicurrency facility (U.S. dollars and euros) that would
mature in March 2007.

Subject
to the annual seasonality of our accounts receivable, we estimate that the total liquidity resources from the accounts receivable securitization program may range between
$270 million to $310 million at certain periods during a calendar year. As of December 31, 2003, the Receivables Trust had approximately $432 million of total assets
(consisting of cash and accounts receivable), and $198 million of medium term notes and $100 million of commercial paper outstanding. The weighted average interest rates on the medium
term notes and commercial paper was approximately 2.1% as of December 31, 2003. However, losses on the accounts receivable securitization program in 2003 were

15

---



$32.4 million.
Losses on the accounts receivable securitization program include the discount on receivables sold into the program, fees and expenses associated with the program and gains
(losses) on foreign currency hedge contracts mandated by the terms of the program to hedge currency exposures on the collateral supporting the off-balance sheet debt issued. For the year
ended December 31, 2003, losses on the accounts receivable securitization program include losses of $24.6 million on foreign currency hedge contracts mandated by the accounts receivable
securitization program. We believe that a multicurrency facility will enable us, in the future, to better naturally hedge the off-balance sheet debt to the underlying collateral supporting
such debt and thereby reduce the impact on, and need for, foreign currency hedges under the accounts receivable securitization program.

During
the year ended December 31, 2003, we sold approximately $4,132 million in receivables and collected $4,136 million.

Investing Activities

Capital expenditures for the year ended December 31, 2003 were $127.4 million, a decrease of approximately $63.1 million as compared to
$190.5 million for 2002. The decrease was largely attributable to expenditures in connection with the ICON 2 modernization and expansion of our titanium dioxide manufacturing facility at
Greatham, U.K. and the SAP project in our Pigments segment, both of which were completed in 2002. We expect to spend approximately $180 million on capital expenditures during 2004, which would
include any expenditures for the proposed LDPE facility at Wilton, U.K. in the event board and other approvals are sought and obtained in connection with this project. In addition, we expect to spend
approximately $25 million (approximately $13 million of which will be recorded as capital expenditures and $12 million of which will be recorded as investments), during 2004 as an
investment in our Chinese MDI joint ventures. During 2003, we made our initial contributions of approximately $12 million in our Chinese MDI joint ventures (approximately $6 million of
which has been recorded as a capital expenditure and $6 million of which has been recorded as an investment) and we expect to contribute up to a total of approximately $85 million to the
Chinese MDI joint ventures over the next several years (approximately $35 million to be recorded as capital expenditures and approximately $50 million to be recorded as investments).

In
connection with our agreements with our Rubicon and Louisiana Pigment joint ventures, we are obligated to fund our proportionate share of expenditures. During the years ended
December 31, 2003 and 2002, we made net investments of $3.0 million and $3.3 million, respectively, in Rubicon. During the years ended December 31, 2003 and 2002, we
received net distributions of $0.8 million and $8.0 million, respectively, from Louisiana Pigment.

Certain Credit Support Issues

Although our Company and HI are unrestricted subsidiaries of Huntsman LLC, we have not guaranteed or provided any other credit support to Huntsman LLC under its
credit facilities (the "HLLC Credit Facilities") or the outstanding notes of Huntsman LLC, and Huntsman LLC has not guaranteed or provided any other credit support to our obligations under the HI
Credit Facilities or our notes. Events of default under the HI Credit Facilities, or under our notes or the exercise of any remedy by the lenders thereunder will not cause any cross-defaults or
cross-accelerations under the HLLC Credit Facilities or Huntsman LLC's outstanding notes. Additionally, any events of default under the HLLC Credit Facilities or Huntsman LLC's notes or the exercise
of any remedy by the lenders thereunder will not cause any cross-defaults or cross-accelerations under the HI Credit Facilities or our outstanding notes, except insofar as foreclosure on the stock of
Huntsman Specialty Chemical Holdings Corporation, the stock of Huntsman Specialty or our membership interests pledged to secure Huntsman LLC's obligations under the HLLC Credit Facilities or the
Huntsman LLC notes, would constitute a "change of control" and an event of default under the HI Credit Facilities and would give certain put rights to the holders of our outstanding notes.

On May 9, 2003, HMP issued 15% senior secured discount notes due 2008 (the "HMP Senior Discount Notes") with an accreted value of $423 million. Interest is paid in kind.
The HMP Senior Discount Notes are secured by a first priority lien on our 8% senior subordinated discount reset notes due 2009 acquired by HMP in connection with the HIH Consolidation Transaction, the
10% direct and 30% indirect equity interests held by HMP in our Company, HMP's common stock outstanding as of May 9, 2003, and HMP's 100% equity interest in Huntsman LLC. A payment default
under the HMP Senior Discount Notes, or any other default that would permit the holders to accelerate the unpaid balance thereunder, would also constitute a default under the HLLC Credit Facilities.
Foreclosure on the stock of HMP or the equity interest in Huntsman LLC would constitute a "change of control" and an event of default under the HLLC Credit Facilities and the HI Credit Facilities, and
would give certain put rights to the holders of the Huntsman LLC Notes and our notes.

Environmental Matters

General

Our operations are subject to extensive environmental laws and regulations concerning emissions to the air, discharges to surface and subsurface waters, and the
generation, handling, storage, transportation, treatment and disposal of waste materials, as adopted by various governmental authorities in the jurisdictions in which we operate. We make every
reasonable effort to remain in full compliance with existing governmental regulations. Accordingly, we may incur costs for capital improvements and general compliance under environmental laws,
including costs to acquire, maintain and repair pollution control equipment. We cannot provide assurances that material capital expenditures beyond those currently anticipated will not be required
under environmental laws.

Environmental Capital Expenditures and Accruals

We have established financial reserves relating to environmental restoration and remediation programs, which we believe are sufficient for known requirements. In
connection with various acquisitions, the acquisition agreements generally provide for indemnification for environmental pollution existing on the
date of acquisition. Liabilities are recorded when site restoration and environmental remediation and clean-up obligations are either known or considered probable and can be reasonably
estimated. Liabilities are based upon all available facts, existing technology, past experience and cost-sharing and indemnification arrangements (as to which, we consider the viability of
other parties).

Our
capital expenditures relating to environmental matters for the year ended December 31, 2003, were approximately $31 million. Capital costs relating to environmental
matters in 2004 are expected to total approximately $40 million. A total of $17.0 million has been accrued related to environmental related liabilities as of December 31, 2003.

Estimates
of ultimate future environmental restoration and remediation costs are inherently imprecise due to currently unknown factors such as the magnitude of possible contamination,
the timing and extent of such restoration and remediation, the determination of our liability in proportion to other parties, the extent to which such costs are recoverable from insurance, and the
extent to which environmental laws and regulations may change in the future. However, it is not anticipated that any future costs, in excess of those that have been accrued by our Company, will be
material to our results of operations or financial position as a result of compliance with current environmental laws and regulations.

Potential Liabilities

Given the nature of our business, violations of environmental laws may result in restrictions being imposed on operating activities, substantial fines, penalties,
damages or other costs, any of which could

17

---



have
a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations or cash flows. We are aware of the following matters:

The
Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (the "TCEQ," formerly the Texas Natural Resource Conservation Commission or TNRCC) approved a settlement with Huntsman Petrochemical
Corporation effective June 12, 2003 regarding allegations of environmental regulatory violations at our Port Neches, Texas, facilities. The settlement imposes penalties totaling $302,250, of
which $7,000 has already been paid. The balance of the penalty is due on June 11, 2005. Additionally, the settlement requires that we apply for an air emissions permit for the joint wastewater
treatment plant that services all of the Port Neches facilities. Less than $100,000 of the aforementioned penalties are allocable to our Company. Although management does not anticipate it, it is
possible that the terms of a joint wastewater treatment plant air permit may cause us to incur substantial costs that could be material.

On
October 6, 2002, a leak of sulphuric acid from two tanks located near our Whitehaven, U.K. plant was discovered. About 342 to 347 tonnes of acid were released onto the ground
and into the soil near the tanks. Although we took immediate steps to contain the spillage and recover acid, a quantity of acid reached a nearby beach via a geological fault. We believe that we did
not own the tanks; however, we did own the acid in the tanks. The U.K. Environment Agency ("EA") is conducting an investigation that could result in a prosecution being initiated. The U.K. Health and
Safety Executive has issued three Improvement Notices requiring corrective action with which we are complying. Although we can give no assurances, based on currently available information and our
understanding of similar investigations and penalties in the past, we believe that, if any charges are brought or additional corrective action orders issued and we are ultimately found to be legally
responsible, the probable penalties would not be material to our financial position or results of operations.

During
2002 and 2003, we voluntarily removed filter salts from a property previously operated by Almagrera in Spain. Almagrera supplied sulphuric acid to one of our subsidiaries. Under
an agreement with Almagrera, our subsidiary had for some time supplied filter salts to Almagrera to be used in the manufacture of sulphuric acid. When Almagrera filed for bankruptcy and closed its
plant in 2001, a large quantity of stored filter salts was found on its premises, far from its normal warehouse. We spent $2.2 million to remove and dispose of the salts. The project has been
completed.

We
are aware that there is or may be soil or groundwater contamination at some of our facilities resulting from past operations. Based on available information and the indemnification
rights (including indemnities provided by Huntsman Specialty, ICI, Rohm and Haas, Rhodia and Dow Chemical, for the facilities that each of them transferred to us), 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; however, we cannot give any assurance that such
indemnities will fully cover the costs of investigation and remediation, that we will not be required to contribute to such costs or that such costs will not be material.

By
a Notice of Enforcement letter dated March 6, 2003, we were notified by the TCEQ of a probable enforcement action arising out of the inspection of the Freeport, Texas facility
on December 16-19, 2002. Seven types of violations relating to the Texas Clean Air Act requirements were cited. After extensive communications with the TCEQ regarding the validity
of the allegations, the TCEQ determined that the imposition of penalties was inappropriate. This matter has been dropped.

Under
the EU Integrated Pollution Prevention and Control Directive ("IPPC"), EU member governments are to adopt rules and implement a cross-media (air, water, waste) environmental
permitting program for individual facilities. The UK was the first EU member government to request IPPC permit applications from us. In the UK, we have submitted several applications and, very
recently, negotiated and received our first IPPC permits. Based upon the terms of these permits, we do not anticipate that we will have to make material capital expenditures to comply. Other IPPC
permits are under review by the UK Environment Agency. We are not yet in a position to know with certainty

18

---



what
the other UK IPPC permits will require, and it is possible that the costs of compliance could be material; however, we believe, based upon our experience to date, that the costs of compliance
with IPPC permitting in the UK will not be material to our financial condition or results of operations. Additionally, the IPPC directive has recently been implemented in France, and like our
operations in the UK, we do not anticipate having to make material capital expenditures to comply.

With
respect to our facilities in other EU jurisdictions, IPPC implementing legislation is not yet in effect, or we have not yet been required to seek IPPC permits. Accordingly, while we
expect to incur additional future costs for capital improvements and general compliance under IPPC requirements in these jurisdictions, at the present time we are unable to determine whether or not
these costs will be material. Accordingly, we cannot provide assurance that material capital expenditures and compliance costs will not be required in connection with IPPC requirements.

MTBE Developments

The use of MTBE is controversial in the United States and elsewhere and may be substantially curtailed or eliminated in the future by legislation or regulatory
action. The presence of MTBE in some groundwater supplies in California and other states (primarily due to gasoline leaking from underground storage tanks) and in surface water (primarily from
recreational watercraft) has led to public concern about MTBE's potential to contaminate drinking water supplies. Heightened public awareness regarding this issue has resulted in state, federal and
foreign initiatives to rescind the federal oxygenate requirements for reformulated gasoline or restrict or prohibit the use of MTBE in particular. For example, the California Air Resources Board
adopted regulations that prohibit the addition of MTBE to gasoline as of January 1, 2004. Certain other states have also taken actions to restrict or eliminate the future use of MTBE. In
connection with its ban, the State of California requested that the EPA waive the federal oxygenated fuels requirements of the federal Clean Air Act for gasoline sold in California. The EPA denied the
State's request on June 12, 2001. Certain of the state bans, including California's ban, have been challenged in court as unconstitutional (in light of the Clean Air Act). On June 4,
2003, a federal court of appeals rejected such a challenge to California's ban, ruling that the ban is not pre-empted by the Clean Air Act.

Bills
have been introduced in the U.S. Congress to curtail or eliminate the oxygenated fuels requirements in the Clean Air Act, or curtail MTBE use. To date, no such legislation has
become law, but such legislation is being considered by Congress and could result in a federal ban on the use of MTBE in gasoline. In addition, on March 20, 2000, the EPA announced its
intention, through an advanced notice of proposed rulemaking, to phase out the use of MTBE under authority of the federal Toxic Substances Control Act. In its notice, the EPA also called on the U.S.
Congress to restrict the use of MTBE under the Clean Air Act.

In
Europe, the EU issued a final risk assessment report on MTBE on September 20, 2002. While no ban of MTBE was recommended, several risk reduction measures relating to storage
and handling of MTBE-containing fuel were recommended. Separate from EU action, Denmark entered into a voluntary agreement with refiners to reduce the sale of MTBE in Denmark. Under the
agreement, use of MTBE in 92- and 95-octane gasoline in Denmark ceased by May 1, 2002; however, MTBE is still an additive in a limited amount of 98-octane
gasoline sold in about 100 selected service stations in Denmark.

Any
phase-out or other future regulation of MTBE in other states, nationally or internationally may result in a significant reduction in demand for our MTBE and result in a
material loss in revenues or material costs or expenditures. In the event that there should be a phase-out of MTBE in the United States, we believe we will be able to export MTBE to Europe
or elsewhere or use its co-product TBA to produce saleable products other than MTBE. We believe that our low production costs at the PO/MTBE facility will put us in a favorable position
relative to other higher cost sources

19

---



(primarily,
on-purpose manufacturing). If we opt to produce products other than MTBE, necessary modifications to our facilities may require significant capital expenditures and the sale of
the other products may produce a materially lower level of cash flow than the sale of MTBE.

In
addition, while we have not been named as a defendant in any litigation concerning the environmental effects of MTBE, we cannot provide assurances that we will not be involved in any
such litigation or that such litigation will not have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations or cash flows. In 2003, the U.S. House of Representatives
passed a version of an energy bill that contained limited liability protection for producers of MTBE. The Senate's version of the bill did not have liability protection. The issue was one of the
reasons that a compromise energy bill was not passed. Whether a compromise will be reached on this legislation in 2004, and whether any compromise will provide liability protection for producers, are
unknown. In any event, the liability protection provision in the House bill applied only to defective product claims; it would not preclude other types of lawsuits. See "Cautionary
Statement for Forward-Looking InformationPending or future litigation or legislative initiatives related to MTBE may subject us or our products to environmental liability or materially
adversely affect our sales and costs."

REACH Developments

On October 29, 2003, the European Commission adopted a proposal for a new EU regulatory framework for chemicals. Under this proposed new system called
"REACH" (Registration,Evaluation andAuthorisation of CHemicals), enterprises 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 our Company. As proposed, REACH would take effect in stages over the next decade. 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. Nevertheless, it is possible that REACH, if implemented, would be costly to us.

Critical Accounting Policies

The preparation of financial statements and related disclosures in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America
requires management to make judgments,

21

---



estimates
and assumptions that affect the reported amounts in the consolidated financial statements. Our significant accounting policies are summarized in "Note 2Summary of
Significant Accounting Policies" to our consolidated financial statements. Summarized below are our critical accounting policies:

Long-Lived Assets

The determination of useful lives of our property, plant and equipment is considered a critical accounting estimate. Such lives are estimated based upon our
historical experience, engineering estimates and industry information and are reviewed when economic events indicate that we may not be able to recover the carrying value of the assets. The estimated
lives of our property range from 3 to 30 years and depreciation is recorded on the straight line method. Inherent in our estimates of useful lives is the assumption that periodic maintenance
and an appropriate level of annual capital expenditures will be performed. Without on-going capital improvements and maintenance, the productivity and cost efficiency declines and the
useful lives of our assets would be shorter.

We
are required to evaluate our plant assets whenever events indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable in the future or when management's plans change regarding those
assets, such as idling or closing a plant. We evaluate impairment by comparing undiscounted cash flows of the related property to the carrying value. Key assumptions in determining the future cash
flows include the useful life, technology, competitive pressures, raw material pricing and regulations.

Restructuring and Plant Closing Costs

We have recorded restructuring charges in recent years in connection with closing certain plant locations, work force reductions and other cost savings programs.
These charges are recorded when management has committed to a plan and incurred a liability related to the plan. Estimates for plant closing include the write-off of the carrying value of
the plant, any necessary environmental and/or regulatory costs, contract termination and demolition costs. Estimates for work
force reductions and other cost savings are recorded based upon estimates of the number of positions to be terminated, termination benefits to be provided and other information as necessary.
Management evaluates the estimates on a quarterly basis and adjusts the reserve when information indicates that the estimate is above or below the initial estimate.

Income Taxes

Deferred income taxes are provided for temporary differences between financial statement income and taxable income using the asset and liability approach. We have
significant NOLs in various foreign jurisdictions. While the majority of the NOLs have no expiration date, certain NOLs have a limited life and begin to expire in 2006. We record valuation allowances
based upon our evaluation of positive and negative evidence about realization of such deferred tax assets. Such evaluations require us to consider future taxable income in the related jurisdictions.
Significant judgment is required due to the nature of our operations and the complexity of the numerous tax jurisdictions in which we operate. As of December 31, 2003, we have provided a
valuation allowance of $64.5 million to reduce the deferred tax asset related to NOLs to the amount that we expect to be realized.

Employee Benefit Programs

We sponsor various contributory and non-contributory defined benefit plans covering employees in the U.S., U.K., Netherlands, Belgium, Canada and a
number of other countries. We fund the material plans through trust arrangements (or local equivalents) where the assets are held separately from the employer. We also sponsor unfunded
post-retirement plans which provide medical and life insurance benefits covering certain employees in the U.S. and Canada. Amounts recorded in the consolidated

22

---



financial
statements are recorded based upon actuarial valuations performed by various independent actuaries. Inherent in these valuations are numerous assumptions regarding expected return on assets,
discount rates, compensation increases, mortality rates and health care costs trends. These assumptions are disclosed in the notes to the consolidated financial statements.

During
2003, we revised our expected return on plan assets and rate of compensation increases for our defined benefit plans to 7.29% from 7.00% and to 3.76% from 3.39% respectively, and
the discount rate on our defined benefit plans and expected healthcare trend rate in the next four years for our other post retirement benefit plans to 6.25% from 6.62% and to 11% from 10%,
respectively, as a result of current economic conditions based upon discussions with our actuaries, the historical long-term returns of our pension assets, recent market information
related to interest rates and equity performance.

Environmental Reserves

Environmental remediation costs for our facilities are accrued when it is probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount can be reasonably estimated.
Estimates of environmental reserves require evaluating government regulation, available technology, site-specific information and remediation alternatives. We accrue an amount equal to our
best estimate of the costs to remediate based upon the available information. Adjustments to our estimates are made periodically based upon additional information received as remediation progresses.
For further information see "Item 1BusinessEnvironmental Regulation" and "Note 18Environmental Matters" to the consolidated financial statements.

Recently Issued Financial Accounting Standards

In January 2003, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued FIN No. 46, "Consolidation of Variable Interest
Entities." FIN No. 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 complete replacement of FIN No. 46 (FIN No. 46R), which clarified certain complexities and generally requires adoption no later
than March 31, 2004 for all entities other than special purpose entities under previous guidance. The adoption of FIN No. 46R will not have a material impact on the Company's
consolidated earnings, financial position, or cash flows.

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

23

---



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 that could cause our actual results to differ materially from the forward-looking statements contained in or contemplated by this report.
The following are among the factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from the forward-looking statements. There may be other factors, including those discussed elsewhere in this
report, that may cause our actual results to differ materially from the forward-looking statements. Any forward-looking statements should be considered in light of all such factors.

Demand for some of our products is cyclical and we may experience prolonged depressed market conditions for our products.

A substantial portion of our revenue is attributable to sales of commodity products, including most of the products of our Base Chemicals and Pigments businesses
which generated approximately 44% of our revenue for the year ended December 31, 2003. Historically, the prices for our commodity products have been cyclical and sensitive to relative changes
in supply and demand, the availability and price of feedstocks and general economic conditions. Our other products may be subject to these same factors, but, typically, the impact of these factors is
greatest on our commodity products.

Historically,
the markets for many of our products, particularly our commodity products, have experienced alternating periods of tight supply, causing prices and profit margins to
increase, followed by periods of capacity additions, resulting in oversupply and declining prices and profit margins. Currently, several of our markets are experiencing periods of oversupply, and the
pricing of our products in these markets is depressed. We cannot guarantee that future growth in demand for these products will be sufficient to alleviate any existing or future conditions of excess
industry capacity or that such conditions will not be sustained or further aggravated by anticipated or unanticipated capacity additions or other events.

In
addition, sales of certain of our products, particularly ethylene and propylene in our Base Chemicals business, are, and historically have been, dependent upon the continued demand
from several key customers. This is a common characteristic in the Base Chemicals business. Six customers are expected to account for over 75% of our ethylene sales in 2004 and four customers are
expected to account for
over 85% of our propylene sales in 2004. Accordingly, the loss of any of our key Base Chemicals customers could have a material adverse effect on our business and results of operations.

A
major customer of our Base Chemicals business has indicated that, upon termination of our existing contract as of December 31, 2005, it will discontinue purchasing ethylene and
propylene from us. We expect this customer to purchase approximately 20% of our 2004 ethylene production and approximately 19% of our 2004 propylene production pursuant to the contract which will
terminate December 31, 2005. We believe the expected market conditions in Europe for ethylene and propylene will be such that we will be able to sell, upon expiration of the contract, a
substantial portion of the ethylene and propylene such customer historically purchased at prices that generate margins comparable to those historically obtained on sales to such customer. However, if
market demand for ethylene or propylene in Europe is weaker than expected, we may experience difficulty in selling the ethylene and propylene historically purchased by such customer, or we may have
difficulty selling such ethylene and propylene at comparable margins. Failure to place the ethylene or propylene, or the failure to receive comparable margins for such ethylene and propylene, could
have a material adverse effect on our business and results of operations.

We have substantial debt that we may be unable to service and that restricts our activities, which could adversely affect our ability to meet our obligations.

As of December 31, 2003, we had total outstanding indebtedness of $3,720.0 million (including the current portion of long-term debt) and
a debt to total capitalization ratio of approximately 92%. We require substantial capital to finance our operations and continued growth, and we may incur substantial additional debt from time to time
for a variety of purposes. However, the indentures governing our outstanding notes and the HI Credit Facilities all contain restrictive covenants. Among other things, these covenants limit or prohibit
our ability to incur more debt; make prepayments of other debt, including our notes, in whole or in part; pay dividends, redeem stock or make other distributions; issue capital stock; make
investments; create liens; enter into transactions with affiliates; enter into sale and leaseback transactions; and merge or consolidate and transfer or sell assets. Additionally, the HI Credit
Facilities provide that we will not, and will not permit any of our subsidiaries to, amend, modify or terminate any provisions of our notes. Also, if we undergo a change of control, the indentures
governing our outstanding notes require us to make an offer to purchase the notes. Under these circumstances, we may also be required to repay indebtedness under the HI Credit Facilities to the extent
of the value of the assets securing such indebtedness. In this event, we may not have the financial resources necessary to purchase our notes or repay indebtedness under the HI Credit Facilities,
which would result in an event of default.

The
degree to which we have outstanding debt could have important consequences for our business, including:



HI
has no scheduled principal payments under the HI Credit Facilities until the second quarter 2005. In each of 2005 and 2006, the scheduled principal payments under the HI Credit
Facilities are approximately $12 million per annum. HI's $400 million HI Revolving Facility matures in June 2005. Our ability to make scheduled payments of principal and interest
on, or to refinance, our debt depends on our future financial performance, which, to a certain extent, is subject to economic, competitive, regulatory and other factors beyond our control. We cannot
guarantee that we will have sufficient cash from our operations or other sources to service our debt. If our cash flow and capital resources are insufficient to fund our debt service obligations, we
may be forced to reduce or delay capital expenditures, sell assets or seek to obtain additional equity capital or restructure or refinance our debt. We cannot guarantee that such alternative measures
would be successful or would permit us to meet our scheduled debt service obligations. In the absence of operating results and resources, we could face substantial liquidity problems and might be
required to dispose of material assets or operations to meet our debt service obligations. We cannot guarantee our ability to consummate any asset sales or that any proceeds from an asset sale would
be sufficient to meet the obligations then due.

If
we are unable to generate sufficient cash flow and we are unable to obtain the funds required to meet payments of principal and interest on our indebtedness, or if we otherwise fail
to comply with the various covenants in the instruments governing our indebtedness, including those under the HI Credit Facilities and the indentures governing our outstanding notes, we could be in
default under the terms of those agreements. In the event of a default by us, a holder of the indebtedness could elect to declare

25

---



all
of the funds borrowed under those agreements to be due and payable together with accrued and unpaid interest, the lenders under the HI Credit Facilities could elect to terminate their commitments
thereunder and we could be forced into bankruptcy or liquidation. Any default under the agreements governing our indebtedness could have a material adverse effect on our ability to pay principal and
interest on the notes and on the market value of the notes.

If our subsidiaries do not make sufficient distributions to us, then we will not be able to make payment on our debt.

Our debt is the exclusive obligation of our Company and any guarantors thereof and not of any of our other subsidiaries. Because a significant portion of our
operations are conducted by our subsidiaries, our cash flow and our ability to service indebtedness, are dependent to a large extent upon cash dividends and distributions or other transfers from our
subsidiaries. Any payment of dividends, distributions, loans or advances by our subsidiaries to us could be subject to restrictions on dividends or repatriation of earnings under applicable local law,
monetary transfer restrictions and foreign currency exchange regulations in the jurisdictions in which our subsidiaries operate, and any restrictions imposed by the instruments governing the debt of
our subsidiaries, which at the present time is not significant. In addition, payments to us by our subsidiaries are contingent upon our subsidiaries' earnings.

Our
subsidiaries are separate and distinct legal entities and, except for the guarantors of our notes, have no obligation, contingent or otherwise, to pay any amounts due pursuant to our
debt or to make any funds available therefore, whether by dividends, loans, distributions or other payments, and do not guarantee the payment of interest on, or principal of, our debt. Any right that
we have to receive any assets of any of our subsidiaries that are not guarantors upon the liquidation or reorganization of any such subsidiary, and the consequent right of holders of our debt to
realize proceeds from the sale of their assets, will be junior to the claims of that subsidiary's creditors, including trade creditors and holders of debt issued by that subsidiary. In addition, the
guarantees of our debt are subordinated to all indebtedness of each guarantor that is secured to the extent of the value of the assets securing such indebtedness.

Significant price volatility of raw materials or disruptions in the availability of raw materials may result in increased costs that we may not be able to pass on to our
customers.

The prices for a large portion of our raw materials may be subject to significant volatility. While we frequently enter into supply agreements, as is the general
practice in our industries, these agreements typically provide for market-based pricing. As a result, our supply agreements provide only limited protection against price volatility. In addition, the
commodity markets for our raw materials may be subject to disruptions. If our suppliers are unable to meet their obligations under applicable supply agreements or we otherwise are unable to obtain
efficiently priced raw materials, our business may be disrupted. In the case of either raw material price increases or supply disruptions, we could incur significant additional costs. While we attempt
to match cost increases with corresponding product price increases, we are not always able to immediately raise product prices, and, ultimately, our ability to pass on underlying cost increases to our
customers is greatly dependent upon market conditions. Any underlying cost increase that we are not able to pass on to our customers could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial
condition, results of operations or cash flows.

The industries in which we compete are highly competitive and we may not be able to compete effectively with our competitors that are larger and have greater resources.

The industries in which we operate are highly competitive. Among our competitors are some of the world's largest chemical companies and major integrated petroleum
companies that have their own raw material resources. Some of these companies may be able to produce products more economically than we can. In addition, many of our competitors are larger and have
greater financial resources,

26

---



which
may enable them to invest significant capital into their businesses, including expenditures for research and development. If any of our current or future competitors develop proprietary
technology that enables them to produce products at a significantly lower cost, our technology could be rendered uneconomical or obsolete. Moreover, certain of our businesses use technology that is
widely available. Accordingly, barriers to entry, apart from capital availability, are low in certain product segments of our business, and the entrance of new competitors into the industry may reduce
our ability to capture improving profit margins in circumstances where capacity utilization in the industry is increasing. Further, petroleum-rich countries have become more significant
participants in the petrochemical industry and may expand this role significantly in the future. Any of these developments would have a significant impact on our ability to enjoy higher profit margins
during periods of increased demand. See "Cautionary Statement for Forward-Looking InformationDemand for some of our products is cyclical and we may experience prolonged
depressed market conditions for our products."

27

---





Our ability to repay our debt may be adversely affected if our joint venture partners do not perform their obligations or we have disagreements with them.

We conduct a substantial amount of our operations through our joint ventures. Our ability to meet our debt service obligations depends, in part, upon the
operation of our joint ventures. If any of our joint venture partners fails to observe its commitments, that joint venture may not be able to operate according to its business plans or we may be
required to increase our level of commitment to give effect to those plans. In general, joint venture arrangements may be affected by relations between the joint venture partners. Differences in views
among the partners may, for example, result in delayed decisions or in failure to agree on significant matters. Such circumstances may have an adverse effect on the business and operations of the
joint ventures, adversely affecting the business and operations of our Company. If we cannot agree with our joint venture partners on significant issues, we may experience a material adverse effect on
our business, financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

Terrorist attacks, such as the attacks that occurred on September 11, 2001, the current military action in Iraq, general instability in various OPEC member nations and
the threat of prolonged military action in Iraq and other attacks or acts of war in the United States and abroad may adversely affect the markets in which we operate, our operations and our
profitability.

The attacks of September 11, 2001 and subsequent events, including the current military action in Iraq, have caused instability in the United States and
other financial markets and have led, and may continue to lead to, further armed hostilities, prolonged military action in Iraq, or further acts of terrorism in the United States or abroad, which
could cause further instability in financial markets. Current regional tensions and conflicts in various OPEC member nations, including the current military action in Iraq, have caused, and may
continue to cause, escalated raw material costs, specifically raising the prices of oil and gas, which are used in our operations. In addition, the uncertainty surrounding the current military action
in Iraq and the threat of further armed hostilities or acts of terrorism may impact any or all of our physical facilities and operations, which are located in Europe, North America, Australia, Asia,
Africa, South America, and the Middle East, or those of our customers. Furthermore, the terrorist attacks, subsequent events and future developments in any of these areas may result in reduced demand
from our customers for our products. These developments will subject our worldwide operations to increased risks and, depending on their magnitude, could have a material adverse effect on our
business, financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

Pending or future litigation or legislative initiatives related to MTBE may subject us or our products to environmental liability or materially adversely affect our sales and
costs.

The use of MTBE is controversial in the United States and elsewhere and may be substantially curtailed or eliminated in the future by legislation or regulatory
action. The presence of MTBE in some groundwater supplies in California and other states (primarily due to gasoline leaking from underground storage tanks) and in surface water (primarily from
recreational watercraft) has led to public concern about MTBE's potential to contaminate drinking water supplies. Heightened public awareness regarding this issue has resulted in state, federal and
foreign initiatives to rescind the federal oxygenate requirements for reformulated gasoline or restrict or prohibit the use of MTBE in particular. For example, the California Air Resources Board
adopted regulations that prohibit the addition of MTBE to gasoline as of January 1, 2004. Certain other states have also taken actions to restrict or eliminate the future use of MTBE. In
connection with its ban, the State of California requested that the EPA waive the federal oxygenated fuels requirements of the federal Clean Air Act for gasoline sold in California. The EPA denied the
State's request on June 12, 2001. Certain of the state bans, including California's ban, have been challenged in court as unconstitutional (in light of the Clean Air Act). On

28

---



June 4,
2003, a federal court of appeals rejected such a challenge to California's ban, ruling that the ban is not pre-empted by the Clean Air Act.

Bills
have been introduced in the U.S. Congress to curtail or eliminate the oxygenated fuels requirements in the Clean Air Act, or curtail MTBE use. To date, no such legislation has
become law, but such legislation is being considered by Congress and could result in a federal ban on the use of MTBE in gasoline. In addition, on March 20, 2000, the EPA announced its
intention, through an advanced notice of proposed rulemaking, to phase out the use of MTBE under authority of the federal Toxic Substances Control Act. In its notice, the EPA also called on the U.S.
Congress to restrict the use of MTBE under the Clean Air Act.

In
Europe, the EU issued a final risk assessment report on MTBE on September 20, 2002. While no ban of MTBE was recommended, several risk reduction measures relating to storage
and handling of MTBE-containing fuel were recommended. Separate from EU action, Denmark entered into a voluntary agreement with refiners to reduce the sale of MTBE in Denmark. Under the
agreement, use of MTBE in 92- and 95-octane gasoline in Denmark ceased by May 1, 2002; however, MTBE is still an additive in a limited amount of 98-octane
gasoline sold in about 100 selected service stations in Denmark.

Any
phase-out or other future regulation of MTBE in other states, nationally or internationally may result in a significant reduction in demand for our MTBE and result in a
material loss in revenues or material costs or expenditures. In the event that there should be a phase-out of MTBE in the United States, we believe we will be able to export MTBE to
Europe or elsewhere or use its co-product TBA to produce saleable products other than MTBE. We believe that our low production costs at our PO/MTBE facility will put us in a favorable
position relative to other higher cost sources (primarily, on-purpose manufacturing). If we opt to produce products other than MTBE, necessary modifications to our facilities may require
significant capital expenditures and the sale of the other products may produce a materially lower level of cash flow than the sale of MTBE.

In
addition, while we have not been named as a defendant in any litigation concerning the environmental effects of MTBE, we cannot provide assurances that we will not be involved in any
such litigation or that such litigation will not have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations or cash flows. In 2003, the U.S. House of Representatives
passed a version of an energy bill that contained limited liability protection for producers of MTBE. The Senate's version of the bill did not have liability protection. The issue was one of the
reasons that a compromise energy bill was not passed. Whether a compromise will be reached on this legislation in 2004, and whether any compromise will provide liability protection for producers, are
unknown. In any event, the liability protection provision in the House bill applied only to defective product claims; it would not preclude other types of lawsuits. For additional information on
recent developments concerning MTBE, see "BusinessPolyurethanesMTBE Developments."

If we are unable to maintain our relationships with Huntsman LLC then we may not be able to replace on favorable terms our contracts with them or the services and facilities
that they provide, if at all.

We have entered and will continue to enter into certain agreements, including service, supply and purchase contracts with Huntsman LLC. If Huntsman LLC or any of
its affiliates fail to perform their obligations under any of these agreements, or if any of these agreements terminate or we are otherwise unable to obtain the benefits thereunder for any reason,
there could be a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations or cash flows if we are unable to obtain similar service, supply or purchase contracts on the same
terms from third parties. For example, we have only one operating facility for our production of PO, which is located in Port Neches, Texas. The facility is dependent on the existing infrastructure
and adjacent facilities of Huntsman LLC for certain utilities,

29

---



raw
materials, product distribution systems and safety systems. In addition, we depend upon employees of Huntsman LLC to operate our Port Neches facility. We purchase all of the propylene used in the
production of PO through Huntsman LLC's pipeline, which is the only existing propylene pipeline connected to our PO facility. If we were required to obtain propylene from another source, we would need
to make a substantial investment in an alternative pipeline. This could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

We are subject to many environmental and safety regulations that may result in unanticipated costs or liabilities.

We are subject to extensive federal, state, local and foreign laws, regulations, rules and ordinances relating to pollution, the protection of the environment and
the use or cleanup of hazardous substances and wastes. We may incur substantial costs, including fines, damages and criminal or civil sanctions, or experience interruptions in our operations for
actual or alleged violations or compliance requirements arising under environmental laws. Our operations could result in violations of environmental laws, including spills or other releases of
hazardous substances to the environment. In the event of a significant incident, we could incur material costs.

Given
the nature of our business, violations of environmental laws may result in restrictions imposed on our operating activities, substantial fines, penalties, damages or other costs,
any of which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations or cash flows. We know of several pending matters involving alleged violations of
environmental law that may result in penalties over $100,000. These matters are discussed in "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
OperationsEnvironmental Matters."

In
addition, we could incur significant expenditures in order to comply with existing or future environmental or safety laws. Capital expenditures and, to a lesser extent, costs and
operating expenses relating to environmental or safety matters will be subject to evolving regulatory requirements and will depend on the timing of the promulgation and enforcement of specific
standards which impose requirements on our operations. Accordingly, we cannot provide assurances that capital expenditures beyond those currently anticipated will not be required under existing or
future environmental or safety laws. See "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of OperationsEnvironmental Matters."

We
have planned capital expenditures to comply with national legislation implementing IPPC. Under IPPC, EU member governments are to adopt rules and implement a cross-media (air, water,
waste) environmental permitting program for individual facilities. The UK was the first EU member government to request IPPC permit applications from us. In the UK, we have submitted several
applications and, very recently, negotiated and received our first IPPC permits. Based upon the terms of these permits, we do not anticipate that we will have to make material capital expenditures to
comply. Other IPPC permits are under review by the UK Environment Agency. We are not yet in a position to know with certainty what the other UK IPPC permits will require, and it is possible that the
costs of compliance could be material; however, we believe, based upon our experience to date, that the costs of compliance with IPPC permitting in the UK will not be material to our financial
condition or results of operations. Additionally, the IPPC directive has recently been implemented in France, and like our operations in the UK, we do not anticipate having to make material capital
expenditures to comply. With respect to our facilities in other EU jurisdictions, IPPC implementing legislation is not yet in effect, or we have not yet been required to seek IPPC permits.
Accordingly, while we expect to incur additional future costs for capital improvements and general compliance under IPPC requirements in these jurisdictions, at the present time we are unable to
determine whether or not these costs will be material. Accordingly, we cannot provide assurance that material capital expenditures and compliance costs will not be required in connection with IPPC
requirements. See "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations."

Furthermore,
we may be liable for the costs of investigating and cleaning up environmental contamination on or from our properties or at off-site locations where we disposed
of or arranged for the disposal or treatment of hazardous wastes or from disposal activities that pre-dated the purchase of our businesses. Based on available information and the
contractual rights that we possess to seek indemnification from third parties with respect to certain environmental issues, we believe that the costs to investigate and remediate known contamination
will not have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations or cash flows. However, if significant previously unknown contamination is discovered, if existing
laws change or if our indemnities do not cover the costs of investigation and remediation, then such expenditures could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of
operations or cash flows. See "BusinessEnvironmental Regulation."

Our business may be adversely affected by international operations and fluctuations in currency exchange rates.

We conduct a significant portion of our business outside the United States. Our operations outside the United States are subject to risks normally associated with
international operations. These risks include the need to convert currencies which we may receive for our products into currencies required to pay our debt, or into currencies in which we purchase raw
materials or pay for services, which could result in a gain or loss depending on fluctuations in exchange rates. Other risks of international operations include trade barriers, tariffs, exchange
controls, national and regional labor strikes, social and political
risks, general economic risks, required compliance with a variety of foreign laws, including tax laws and the difficulty of enforcing agreements and collecting receivables through foreign legal
systems.

Our business is dependent on our intellectual property. If our patents are declared invalid or our trade secrets become known to our competitors, our ability to compete may be
adversely affected.

Proprietary protection of our processes, apparatuses, and other technology is important to our business. Consequently, we rely on judicial enforcement for
protection of our patents. While a presumption of validity exists with respect to patents issued to us in the United States, there can be no assurance that any of our patents will not be challenged,
invalidated, circumvented or rendered unenforceable. Furthermore, if any pending patent application filed by us does not result in an issued patent, or if patents are issued to us, but such patents do
not provide meaningful protection of our intellectual property, then the use of any such intellectual property by our competitors could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial
condition, results of operations or cash flows. Additionally, our competitors or other third parties may obtain patents that restrict or preclude our ability to lawfully produce or sell our products
in a competitive manner, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

We
also rely upon unpatented proprietary know-how and continuing technological innovation and other trade secrets to develop and maintain our competitive position. While it
is our policy to enter into confidentiality agreements with our employees and third parties to protect our intellectual property, these confidentiality agreements may be breached, may not provide
meaningful protection for our trade secrets or proprietary know-how, or adequate remedies may not be available in the event of an unauthorized use or disclosure of such trade secrets and
know-how. In addition, others could obtain knowledge of such trade secrets through independent development or other access by legal means. The failure of our patents or confidentiality
agreements to protect our processes, apparatuses, technology, trade secrets or proprietary know-how could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of
operations or cash flows.

We rely on our key executives to achieve important financial goals.

Our ability to meet our financial goals depends to a large extent on our senior management team and other key executives. The achievement of our financial goals
requires significant management time and, to the extent that members of senior management are unavailable, for any reason, including allocation of management time to other companies, such as Huntsman
LLC and AdMat, that are now or may become part of the Huntsman Holdings organization, our business could be adversely affected.
Although we believe that we could replace senior management within a reasonable period of time, the absence of these key personnel could adversely affect our business.

If we are unable to maintain an effective working relationship with GOP, our business could be adversely affected.

GOP has certain important rights pursuant to the limited liability company agreement of Huntsman Holdings (the "Huntsman Holdings LLC Agreement") and an Interest
Holders Agreement among Huntsman Holdings, HGI, HMP, Huntsman LLC, Huntsman Family Holdings Company LLC, and GOP (the "Interest Holders Agreement") that relate to the designation of directors and
managers, approval rights with respect to the taking of certain actions, and the initiation of certain sales of all or substantially all the assets or equity of HGI, HMP or Huntsman LLC. Under the
Huntsman Holdings LLC Agreement, GOP has the right to designate some, but less than a majority, of the directors or managers, as applicable, of HGI, HMP and Huntsman LLC. GOP also has the right to
designate one manager of our Company pursuant to the Interest Holders Agreement and under certain circumstances may acquire the right to designate one manager of HI. In addition, GOP has the right to
prevent our Company and HI from taking certain actions or engaging in certain specified transactions as more fully described in "Security Ownership of Certain Beneficial Owners and Management" below.
If we are unable to maintain an effective working relationship with GOP, it could become difficult to take actions that require GOP's approval, which could adversely affect our ability to manage our
business.

Certain events could result in a change of control of our Company.

The HLLC Credit Facilities and certain senior secured notes of Huntsman LLC (the "HLLC Secured Notes") are secured, in part, by a pledge of 60% of the equity of
our Company. The sale of those pledged interests, whether as a result of a foreclosure under the HLLC Credit Facilities or the HLLC Secured Notes or in connection with a bankruptcy or similar
proceedings or otherwise, could result in a change in control of our Company.

HMP
issued the HMP Senior Discount Notes in connection with the HIH Consolidation Transaction. The HMP Senior Discount Notes are secured by, among other things, a pledge of 40% of the
equity interests of our Company, as well as all the equity interests of Huntsman LLC and HMP. In the event of a default under the HMP Senior Discount Notes, the trustee under the indenture governing
the HMP Senior Discount Notes could foreclose on the collateral, including those equity interests. Sale of those equity interests, whether as a result of foreclosure or in connection with bankruptcy
or similar proceedings or otherwise, could result in a change in control of our Company.

GOP
has certain rights under the Huntsman Holdings LLC Agreement, after September 30, 2007, to initiate the sale of all or substantially all of the equity or assets of HGI, HMP or
Huntsman LLC. The organizational documents of HGI, HMP, and Huntsman LLC require the directors or managers, as
applicable, to take certain actions in order to facilitate any such process. If the directors or managers of HGI, HMP or Huntsman LLC fail to take those actions, GOP will acquire the right to
designate a majority of such directors or managers which could result in a change in control of our Company, as could the consummation of any sale contemplated by the foregoing process or otherwise.

A
change of control of our Company would be an event of default under the HI Credit Facilities and would give the holders of our outstanding notes the right to require us to purchase
their notes at

ITEM 8. FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND SUPPLEMENTARY DATA

Our Consolidated Financial Statements required by this item are included on the pages immediately following the Index to Consolidated Financial Statements
appearing on page F-1.

ITEM 9A. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

In connection with the audit of the financial statements of our parent HMP Equity Holdings Corporation and its subsidiaries for the year ended December 31,
2003, HMP's independent auditors identified several matters that they deemed to be "material weaknesses" in HMP's internal controls as defined in standards established by the American Institute of
Certified Public Accountants. On September 15, 2004, the auditors issued a formal letter reporting these matters. As noted by the auditors, these material weaknesses led to restatements of the
financial statements of HMP and some of its subsidiaries, including us, in recent periods.

The
principal material weakness identified by the auditors was that HMP's controllership function did not have an adequate formal process in place to gather the data required to prepare
the financial statements and disclosures required for the numerous financial reporting requirements of HMP and some of its subsidiaries, including us. Specifically, the auditors noted that there was
not a detailed review of the data supporting the disclosures in the financial statements by a senior member of the controllership function, that supporting documentation for certain disclosures was
very limited, that the processes used to aggregate the information varied by subsidiary, without a standard, comprehensive package of supporting disclosure, and that information delivered to senior
management and the audit
committee was not timely and was often incomplete. In addition, the auditors noted that we had made a data entry error during the transition of its PO business to the SAP enterprise resource planning
system in April 2003. This error, which was not detected until February 2004, led to the restatement of our third quarter 2003 financial statements. The auditors also noted that during
2003, loss on sale of accounts receivable related to our receivables securitization program was reported incorrectly due to a failure to properly understand certain aspects of the securitization
program and a lack of oversight in the accounting for the program. This error led to the restatement of our financial statements for the first three quarters of 2003. On October 12, 2004, we
announced that we had determined to reclassify certain amounts in our consolidated statements of cash flows caused by errors in the automated process by which we determined the effect and
classification of foreign exchange rates and the repayment of debt by a subsidiary on our statements of cash flows. These errors led to a restatement of our financial statements for the six months
ended June 30, 2004 and year ended December 31, 2003. As previously announced, these reclassifications had no impact on our consolidated statements of operations.

HMP
and its subsidiaries entered into a number of significant transactions in 2003, including the acquisitions of our minority interests and the Huntsman Advanced Materials business,
which significantly increased their financial reporting obligations. To improve the companies' financial accounting organization and processes, HMP appointed a new independent director as the chairman
of the companies' audit committee in December 2003. In addition, since the beginning of 2004, HMP has replaced the companies' Controller and has added 13 new positions in the areas of finance,
treasury, internal controls and internal audit, including a Director of Financial Reporting and a Director of Internal Controls. HMP intends to add two more positions in internal audit before the end
of the year. HMP has also adopted and implemented additional policies and procedures to strengthen the companies' financial reporting system.

Our management, with the participation of our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, has re-evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of
December 31, 2003. In undertaking this re-evaluation, our management has considered the matters identified by the auditors. Based on this re-evaluation, our chief executive officer
and chief financial officer have concluded that, as of December 31, 2003, our disclosure controls and procedures were (1) designed to ensure that material information relating to our
Company, including our consolidated subsidiaries, is made known to the chief executive officer and chief financial officer by others within those entities, particularly during the period in which this
report was being prepared, and (2) effective, in that they provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed by our Company in the reports that we file or submit under the
Exchange Act are recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the applicable rules and forms.

No
change in our internal control over financial reporting occurred during the three months ended December 31, 2003 that has materially affected, or is 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).

RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Company management is responsible for the preparation, accuracy and integrity of the consolidated financial statements and other financial information included in
this Annual Report. This responsibility includes preparing the statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and necessarily includes estimates
based upon management's best judgment.

To
help ensure the accuracy and integrity of Company financial data, management maintains internal controls which are designed to provide reasonable assurance that transactions are
executed as authorized, that they are accurately recorded and that assets are properly safeguarded. It is essential for all Company employees to conduct their business affairs in keeping with the
highest ethical standards as outlined in our code of conduct policy, "Business Conduct Guidelines." Careful selection of employees, and appropriate divisions of responsibility also help us to achieve
our control objectives.

The
consolidated balance sheets of Huntsman International Holdings LLC and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2003 and 2002, and the related consolidated statements of operations and
comprehensive loss, members' equity, and cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2003, 2002 and 2001 have been audited by the Company's independent accountants Deloitte & Touche LLP.
Their report is shown on page F-3.

The
Board of Managers oversees the adequacy of the Company's control environment. Representatives of the Audit Committee meet periodically with representatives of Deloitte &
Touche LLP, internal financial management and the internal auditor to review accounting, control, auditing and financial reporting matters. The independent accountants and the internal auditor also
have full and free access to meet privately with the Audit Committee.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Board of Managers and Members of
Huntsman International Holdings LLC

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Huntsman International Holdings LLC and subsidiaries (the "Company") as of December 31,
2003 and 2002, and the related consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss, members' equity, and cash flows for the each of the three years in the period ended December 31,
2003. Our audits also included the financial statement schedule listed in the index. These financial statements and financial statement schedule are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our
responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and financial statement schedule based on our audits.

We
conducted our audits in accordance with standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to
obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in
the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management as well as evaluating the overall financial statement
presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In
our opinion, such consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Huntsman International Holdings LLC and subsidiaries at
December 31, 2003 and 2002 and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2003 in conformity with accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Also, in our opinion, such financial statement schedule, when considered in relation to the basic consolidated financial statements taken
as a whole, presents fairly in all material respects the information set forth therein.

As
discussed in Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards, No. 142 effective January 1, 2002
and changed its method of accounting
for derivative financial instruments effective January 1, 2001, to conform to Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 133, as amended.

As
discussed in Note 23, the accompanying consolidated statements of cash flows have been restated.

2.     Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Principles of Consolidation

The consolidated financial statements of the Company include its majority owned subsidiaries. Intercompany transactions and balances are eliminated.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America 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.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

Highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less when purchased are considered to be cash equivalents.

Securitization of Accounts Receivable

The Company securitizes certain trade receivables in connection with a revolving accounts receivable securitization program in which the Company grants a
participating undivided interest in certain of its trade receivables to a qualified off-balance sheet entity. The Company retains the servicing rights and a retained interest in the
securitized receivables. Losses are recorded on the sale and are based on the carrying value of the receivables as allocated between the receivables sold and the

F-8

---



retained
interests and their relative fair value at the date of the transfer. Retained interests are subsequently carried at fair value which is estimated based on the present value of expected cash
flows, calculated using management's best estimates of key assumptions including credit losses and discount rates commensurate with the risks involved. For more information, see "Note 11
Securitization of Accounts Receivable".

Inventories

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market using the weighted average method.

Property, Plant and Equipment

Property, plant and equipment is stated at cost. Depreciation is provided utilizing the straight line method over the estimated useful lives:

Buildings

20-30 yearsPlant and equipment

3-20 years


Upon
disposal of assets, the cost and related accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts and the resulting gain or loss is included in income.

Periodic
maintenance and repairs applicable to major units of manufacturing facilities are accounted for on the prepaid basis by capitalizing the costs of the turnaround and amortizing
the costs over the estimated period until the next turnaround. The Company does not accrue for any items of repair or maintenance in advance of incurring the cost. Normal maintenance and repairs of
all other plant and equipment are charged to expense as incurred. Renewals, betterments and major repairs that materially extend the useful life of the assets are capitalized, and the assets replaced,
if any, are retired.

Interest
costs are capitalized as part of major construction projects. Interest expense capitalized as part of plant and equipment was $4.4 million, $10.5 million, and
$9.3 million for the years ended December 31, 2003, 2002 and 2001, respectively.

Investment in Unconsolidated Affiliates

Investments in companies in which the Company exercises significant influence, generally ownership interests from 20% to 50%, are accounted for using the equity
method.

Intangible Assets

Intangible assets, which consist of patents, trademarks, technology and certain other agreements, are stated at their fair market values at the time of
acquisition, and are amortized using the straight-line method over their estimated useful lives of five to fifteen years or over the life of the related agreement.

Carrying Value of Long-term Assets

The Company evaluates the carrying value of long-term assets based upon current and anticipated undiscounted cash flows and recognizes an impairment
when such estimated cash flows will
be less than the carrying value of the asset. Measurement of the amount of impairment, if any, is based upon the difference between carrying value and fair value.

Financial Instruments

The carrying amount reported in the balance sheet for cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable and accounts payable approximates fair value because of the
immediate or short-term

F-9

---



maturity
of these financial instruments. The carrying value of the Company's senior credit facilities approximates fair value since they bear interest at a floating rate plus an applicable margin. At
December 31, 2003, the fair value of the Company's senior unsecured notes was $490.5 million. At December 31, 2002 the fair value of the Company's senior unsecured notes
approximated book value. The fair value of the Company's senior subordinated notes was $1,204.9 million and $893.7 million at December 31, 2003 and 2002, respectively. The fair
value of the Company's senior subordinated discount notes approximates book value. The fair value of the Company's senior discount notes was $456.0 million and $212.6 million at
December 31, 2003 and 2002, respectively. The Company's senior discount notes are thinly traded.

Derivatives and Hedging Activities

Effective January 1, 2001, the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 133, "Accounting for
Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities." SFAS No. 133 (as amended) requires that an entity recognize all derivative instruments as assets or liabilities in the
balance sheet and measure those instruments at fair value. The accounting for the change in the fair value depends on the use of the instrument. The adoption of SFAS No. 133 resulted in a
cumulative increase in net loss of $1.5 million and a cumulative increase to accumulated other comprehensive loss of $1.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2001. For more
information, see "Note 13Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities."

Income Taxes

The Company and its U.S. subsidiaries are organized as limited liability companies. These entities are treated similar to a partnership for U.S. income tax
purposes, and therefore are not subject to U.S. federal tax on their income. Subsidiaries outside the U.S. are generally taxed on the income generated in the local country.

Deferred
income taxes are provided for temporary differences between financial statement income and taxable income using the asset and liability method in accordance with SFAS
No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes." The Company evaluates 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 certain of the international deferred tax assets due to uncertainty of realization. The Company does not provide for
income taxes or benefits on the undistributed earnings of its international subsidiaries as earnings are reinvested and, in the opinion of management, will continue to be reinvested indefinitely.

Environmental Expenditures

Environmental related restoration and remediation costs are recorded as liabilities and expensed when site restoration and environmental remediation and cleanup
obligations are either known or considered probable and the related costs can be reasonably estimated. Other environmental expenditures, which are principally maintenance or preventative in nature,
are recorded when incurred and are expensed or capitalized as appropriate.

Foreign Currency Translation

Generally, the accounts of the Company's subsidiaries outside of the United States consider local currency to be functional currency. Accordingly, assets and
liabilities are translated at rates prevailing at the balance sheet date. Revenues, expenses, gains and losses are translated at a weighted average rate for the period. Cumulative translation
adjustments are recorded to equity as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income. Transaction gains and losses are recorded in selling, general and administrative expenses in the
consolidated statement of operations and were net gains of

F-10

---



$91.9 million,
$48.3 million and $4.8 million for the years ended December 31, 2003, 2002 and 2001, respectively.

Revenue Recognition

The Company generates revenues through sales in the open market and long-term supply contracts. The Company recognizes revenue when it is realized or
realizable and earned. Revenue for product sales is recognized as risk and title to the product transfers to the customer,
collectibility is reasonably assured and pricing is fixed or determinable. Generally, this occurs at the time of shipment.

Cost of Goods Sold

The Company classifies the costs of manufacturing and distributing its products as cost of goods sold. Manufacturing costs include variable costs, primarily raw
materials and energy, and fixed expenses directly associated with production. Fixed manufacturing costs include, among other things, plant site operating costs and overhead, production planning and
logistics, repair and maintenance, plant site purchasing costs, and engineering and technical support costs. Distribution, freight and warehousing costs are also included in cost of goods sold.

Research and Development

Research and development costs are expensed as incurred.

Earnings per Member Equity Unit

Earnings per member equity unit is not presented because it is not considered meaningful information due to the Company's indirect ownership by a few, affiliated
equity holders.

Reclassifications

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

Recently Adopted Financial Accounting Standards

On January 1, 2002, the Company adopted SFAS No. 142, "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets." SFAS
No. 142 changes the accounting for goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite lives from an amortization method to an impairment-only approach. Upon adoption of SFAS
No. 142, the Company was required to reassess the useful lives of all acquired intangibles and perform an impairment test on goodwill. In the first quarter of 2002, the Company completed the
assessment of useful lives and concluded that no adjustment to the amortization period of intangible assets was necessary.

The
Company has completed its initial assessment of goodwill impairment as of January 1, 2002 and has concluded that there is no indication of impairment. As of
December 31, 2003 and 2002, the Company had no goodwill recorded on its consolidated balance sheet.

The
initial adoption of SFAS No. 142 had no impact on the Company's financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2002. The pro forma net loss, assuming the change
in accounting principle was applied retroactively to January 1, 2001, would not have been materially different for the year ended December 31, 2001.

On
January 1, 2002, the Company adopted SFAS No. 144, "Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived
Assets." This statement establishes a single accounting model for the impairment or disposal of long-lived assets. The impact of adopting this pronouncement was not
material to the Company's consolidated financial statements.

F-11

---



In
August 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued SFAS No. 143, "Accounting for Asset Retirement
Obligations." SFAS No. 143 addresses financial accounting and reporting for obligations associated with the retirement of tangible, long-lived assets and the
associated asset retirement costs. This statement requires that the fair value of a liability for an asset retirement obligation be recognized in the period in which it is incurred by capitalizing it
as part of the carrying amount of the long-lived assets. As required by SFAS No. 143, the Company adopted this new accounting standard on January 1, 2003. The adoption of
this statement had no impact since the timing of any ultimate obligation is indefinite.

In
April 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No. 145, "Rescission of FASB Statements No. 4, 44 and 64, Amendment of FASB Statement No. 13, and
Other Technical Corrections." In addition to amending or rescinding pronouncements to make various technical corrections, clarify meanings or describe
applicability, SFAS No. 145 precludes companies from recording gains or losses from extinguishment of debt as an extraordinary item. The Company was required to adopt this statement as of
January 1, 2003. The adoption of SFAS No. 145 did not have a material effect on the Company's consolidated financial statements.

In
June 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No. 146, "Accounting for Costs Associated With Exit or Disposal Activities." SFAS
No. 146 requires recording costs associated with exit or disposal activities at their fair values when a liability has been incurred. Under previous guidance, certain exit costs were accrued
upon management's commitment to an exit plan, which is generally before an actual liability has been incurred. The Company adopted this pronouncement in the first quarter of 2003. The adoption of SFAS
No. 146 did not have a material effect on the Company's consolidated financial statements.

In
January 2003, the FASB issued Financial Interpretation No. ("FIN") 45, "Guarantor's Accounting and Disclosure Requirements for Guarantees, Including
Guarantees of Indebtedness of Others." FIN No. 45 requires recognition of a liability for the obligation undertaken upon issuing a guarantee. This liability would be
recorded at the inception date of the guarantee and would be measured at fair value. The disclosure provisions of the interpretation are effective for the financial statements as of
December 31, 2002. The liability recognition provisions apply prospectively to any guarantees issued or modified after December 31, 2002. The adoption of FIN No. 45 did not have a
material effect on the Company's consolidated financial statements.

In
May 2003, the FASB issued SFAS No. 149, "Amendment of Statement 133 on Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities."
SFAS No. 149 amends and clarifies accounting for derivative instruments and hedging activities under SFAS No. 133. This statement is effective for contracts entered into or modified
after June 30, 2003 and for hedging relationships designated after June 30, 2003, with this guidance applied prospectively. The adoption of this statement did not have a material impact
on the Company's consolidated financial statements.

In
May 2003, the FASB issued SFAS No. 150, "Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with Characteristics of both Liabilities and
Equity." SFAS No. 150 establishes standards for classifying and measuring as liabilities certain financial instruments that embody obligations of the issuer and have
characteristics of both liabilities and equity. The adoption of this statement did not have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.

Recently Issued Financial Accounting Standards

In January 2003, the FASB issued FIN No. 46, "Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities." FIN
No. 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 complete

F-12

---



replacement
of FIN No. 46 (FIN No. 46R), which clarified certain complexities and generally requires adoption no later than March 31, 2004 for all entities other than special
purpose entities under previous guidance. The adoption of FIN No. 46R will not have a material impact on the Company's consolidated earnings, financial position, or cash flows.

In March 2003, the Polyurethanes segment announced that it would integrate its global flexible products unit into its urethane specialties unit, and
recorded a restructuring charge of $19.2 million in the first quarter of 2003 for workforce reductions of approximately 118 employees. In June 2003, the Polyurethanes segment announced
further restructuring at its Rozenburg, Netherlands site, related primarily to workforce reductions of approximately 54 employees. The total estimated costs for the Rozenburg restructuring is
estimated to be $12.0 million and will be recorded as expense during 2003 to 2005. During 2003, $7.1 million was recorded as expense for this restructuring. In December 2003, the
Polyurethanes segment announced additional restructuring at Polyurethanes sites across the world, related primarily to workforce reductions of approximately 53 employees. The total estimated cost for
this restructuring is estimated to be $6.7 million and the remaining amount will be recorded as expense during 2004. During 2003, $1.8 million was recorded as expense for this
restructuring. At December 31, 2003, $13.4 million remains in the reserve for restructuring and plant closing costs related to these restructuring activities.

In

at its Whitehaven, UK facility related to the relocation and consolidation of various plants, equipment and workshop facilities, and the development of a centralized control room to help improve the
integrity and productivity of the main site assets. Total restructuring costs associated with this project are expected to be $11.1 million and include an asset write down of approximately
$5.0 million and a reduction in workforce of approximately 45 employees. The remaining restructuring costs will be recorded as expense during 2004 to 2007.

In
August 2003, the Company announced restructuring activities related to its global workforce reductions of approximately 250 employees in its Pigments segment. The overall cost
reduction program for this segment is estimated to be approximately $23.0 million and will be implemented and recorded from 2003 to 2005. During 2003, the Company recorded a restructuring
charge of $6.5 million related to workforce reductions of approximately 63 employees across all of its Pigments operations worldwide. At December 31, 2003, $4.3 million remains in
the reserve for restructuring and plant closing costs related to these restructuring activities.



In 2002, the Pigments segment recorded $3.1 million in asset write-downs related to the closure of the Company's titanium dioxide manufacturing facility in

11.   Securitization of Accounts Receivable

On December 21, 2000, the Company initiated an accounts receivable securitization program under which it grants an undivided interest in certain of its
trade receivables to a qualified off-balance sheet entity (the "Receivables Trust") at a discount. This undivided interest serves as security for the issuance of commercial paper and
medium term notes by the Receivables Trust. At December 31, 2003, the Receivables Trust had outstanding approximately $198 million in U.S. dollar equivalents in medium term notes and
approximately $100 million in commercial paper. Under the terms of the agreements, the Company and its subsidiaries continue to service the receivables in exchange for a 1% fee of the
outstanding receivables, and the Company is subject to recourse provisions.

The
Company's retained interest in receivables (including servicing assets) subject to the program was approximately $154 million and $112 million as of December 31,
2003 and 2002, respectively. The value of the retained interest is subject to credit and interest rate risk. For the years ended December 31, 2003 and 2002, new sales totaled approximately
$4,132 million and $3,220 million, respectively, and cash collections reinvested totaled approximately $4,136 million and $3,105 million, respectively. Servicing fees
received during 2003 and 2002 were approximately $4.9 million and $3.0 million, respectively.

The
Company incurs losses on the accounts receivable securitization program for the discount on receivables sold into the program and fees and expenses associated with the program. The
Company also retains responsibility for the economic gains and losses on forward contracts mandated by the terms of the program to hedge the currency exposures on the collateral supporting the
off-balance sheet debt issued. Gains and losses on forward contracts are included as a component of the loss on accounts receivable securitization program are a loss of
$24.6 million, a loss of $4.4 million and a gain of $6.1 million for the years ended December 31, 2003, 2002 and 2001, respectively. As of December 31, 2003 and
2002, the fair value of the open forward currency contracts is $6.8 million and $6.1 million which is included as a component of the residual interest.

The
key economic assumptions used in valuing the residual interest at December 31, 2003 are presented below:

Weighted average life (in months)

3Credit losses (annual rate)

Less than 1%Discount rate (annual rate)

2%


A
10% and 20% adverse change in any of the key economic assumptions would not have a material impact on the fair value of the retained interest. Total receivables over 60 days
past due as of December 31, 2003 and 2002 were $15.6 million and $11.2 million, respectively.

As of December 31, 2003, HI had senior secured credit facilities (the "HI Credit Facilities") which consisted of a revolving loan facility of up to
$400 million that matures on June 30, 2005 (the "HI Revolving Facility"), a term B loan facility that matures on June 30, 2007, and a term C loan facility that matures on
June 30, 2008. On October 22, 2003, the Company issued $205 million of additional term B and term C loans, the net proceeds of which were applied to pay down the HI Revolving
Facility by approximately $53 million, and the remainder of the net proceeds, net of fees, were applied to repay, in full, the term A loan which had an initial maturity of June 2005.
Principal payments on the term B and term C loans begin in 2005.

Interest
rates for the HI Credit Facilities are based upon, at HI's option, either a eurocurrency rate (LIBOR) or a base rate (prime) plus the applicable spread. The applicable spreads
vary based on a pricing grid, in the case of eurocurrency based loans, from 1.50% to 4.50% per annum depending on the loan facility and whether specified conditions have been satisfied, and, in the
case of base rate loans, from 0.25% to 3.25% per annum. As of December 31, 2003 and December 31, 2002, the average interest rates on the HI Credit Facilities were 5.6% and 5.8%,
respectively, excluding the impact of interest rate hedges.

The
obligations under the HI Credit Facilities are supported by guarantees of HI's domestic and certain foreign subsidiaries (collectively, the "HI Guarantors"), as well as pledges of
substantially all their assets, including 65% of the voting stock of certain non-U.S. subsidiaries.

The
HI Credit Facilities contain covenants relating to incurrence of debt, purchase and sale of assets, limitations on investments, affiliate transactions, change in control provisions
and maintenance of certain financial ratios. The financial covenants include a leverage ratio, interest coverage ratio, minimum consolidated net worth level and a limit on capital expenditures. The HI
Credit Facilities also limit the payment of dividends generally to the amount required by the members to pay income taxes. Management believes that, as of December 31, 2003, HI is in compliance
with the covenants of the HI Credit Facilities.

---



The
following is an update of the Company's disclosures regarding the HI Credit Facilities: on July 13, 2004, HI amended and restated the HI Credit Facilities. In connection with
this amendment and restatement, HI raised approximately $126.6 million of net proceeds from the issuance of additional term loan borrowings, of which $82.4 million was applied to repay
all outstanding borrowings on the HI Revolving Facility and the balance, net of fees, increased cash and cash equivalents. The amendment and restatement reduced the revolving loan facility from
$400.0 million to $375.0 million, maturing September 2008, and also provided for, among other things, changes to the applicable interest rate spreads, the amendment of certain financial
covenants, including changes to the maximum leverage ratio, the minimum interest coverage ratio, and an increase in the permitted amount of annual consolidated capital expenditures.



In March 2002, HI issued $300 million 9.875% Senior Unsecured Notes (collectively with the 2003 HI Senior Notes, the "HI Senior Notes"). Interest on
the HI Senior Notes is payable semi-annually and the HI Senior Notes mature on March 1, 2009. The HI Senior Notes
are fully and unconditionally guaranteed on a joint and several basis by the HI Guarantors. The HI Senior Notes are redeemable, in whole or in part, at any time by HI on or prior to March 1,
2006 at 100% of the face value plus a "make whole" premium, as defined in the applicable indenture. After March 1, 2006, the HI Senior Notes may be redeemed, in whole or in part, at a
redemption price that declines from 104.937% to 100% after March 1, 2008.

On
April 11, 2003, HI sold an additional $150 million in aggregate principal amount of 9.875% Senior Notes due 2009 (the "2003 HI Senior Notes"). The offering was priced at
105.25% plus accrued interest from March 1, 2003. HI used approximately $26 million of the net proceeds to repay part of the revolving portion of the HI Credit Facilities. The balance of
the net proceeds was used primarily to prepay the next 16 months of scheduled amortization due under the term portion of the HI Credit Facilities.

HI
also has outstanding $600 million and €450 million ($569.8 million as of December 31, 2003) 10.125% Senior Subordinated Notes (the "HI
Subordinated Notes"). Interest on the HI Subordinated Notes is payable semi-annually and the HI Subordinated Notes mature on July 1, 2009. The HI Subordinated Notes are fully and
unconditionally guaranteed on a joint and several basis by the HI Guarantors. The HI Subordinated Notes are redeemable, in whole or in part, at any time by HI prior to July 1, 2004 at 100% of
the face value plus a "make whole" premium, as defined in the applicable indenture. On or after July 1, 2004 the HI Subordinated Notes may be redeemed at 105.063% of the principal amount
thereof, declining ratably to par on and after July 1, 2007

The
HI Senior Notes and the HI Subordinated Notes contain covenants relating to the incurrence of debt, limitations on distributions, asset sales and affiliate transactions, among other
things. They also contain a change of control provision requiring HI to offer to repurchase the HI Senior Notes and the HI Subordinated Notes upon a change of control. Management believes that HI is
in compliance with the covenants of the HI Senior Notes and the HI Subordinated Notes as of December 31, 2003.



Included within other debt is debt associated with the Company's China MDI project. In January 2003, the Company entered into two related joint venture
agreements to build MDI production facilities near Shanghai, China. The Company owns 70% (a consolidating interest) of one of the joint ventures with Shanghai Chlor-Alkali Chemical
Company, Ltd. (the "Splitting JV").

On
September 19, 2003, the Splitting JV obtained secured financing for the construction of the production facilities. The Splitting JV obtained term loans for the construction of
its plant in the maximum principal amount of approximately $82.4 million, a working capital credit line in the amount

F-19

---



of
approximately $35.1 million, and a facility for funding VAT payments in the amount of approximately $0.6 million. As of December 31, 2003, there was $5.0 million in
total outstanding debt under the working capital facility. The interest rate on the working capital facility is LIBOR plus 48 basis points, and as of December 31, 2003 was 1.7%. The loans are
secured by substantially all the assets of the venture and will be repaid in 16 semi-annual installments, beginning no later than June 30, 2007. The financing is
non-recourse to our Company, but will be guaranteed during the construction phase by affiliates of the joint venture, including Huntsman Holdings. Huntsman Holdings unconditionally
guarantees 70% of any amounts due and unpaid by the Splitting JV under the loans described above (except for the VAT facility which is not guaranteed). Huntsman Holdings' guarantees remain in effect
until the relevant joint venture has (i) commenced production at least 70% of capacity for at least 30 days, and (ii) achieved a debt service cover ratio of at least 1:1.

Included
within accounts payable, the Company maintains a $25 million multicurrency overdraft facility for its European subsidiaries (the "European Overdraft Facility"). As of
December 31, 2003, the Company had approximately $7.5 million outstanding under the European Overdraft Facility. The European Overdraft Facility is used for daily working capital needs.



On June 30, 1999, the Company issued senior discount notes ("Senior Discount Notes") and senior subordinated discount notes ("Senior Subordinated Discount
Notes" and, collectively with the Senior Discount Notes, the "Discount Notes") to ICI with initial stated values of $242.7 million and $265.3 million, respectively. The Discount Notes
are due December 31, 2009. Interest on the Discount Notes is paid in kind. The Discount Notes contain limits on the incurrence of debt, restricted payments, liens, transactions with affiliates,
and merger and sales of assets. Management believes that the Company is in compliance with the covenants of the Discount Notes as of December 31, 2003.

Interest
on the Senior Discount Notes accrues at 13.375% per annum. The Senior Discount Notes are redeemable prior to July 2004 for an amount equal to the net present value of
106.688% of the projected July 1, 2004 accreted value and thereafter at stipulated redemption prices declining to 100% of accreted value in 2007.

The
Senior Subordinated Discount Notes had a stated rate of 8% that originally was to reset to a market rate in June 2002 and can be redeemed at 100% of accreted value at any time
until June 30, 2004. On December 21, 2001, the terms of the Senior Subordinated Discount Notes were modified, including deferring the reset date until September 2004 at which time
the interest rate will reset to a market rate. For financial reporting purposes, the Senior Subordinated Discount Notes were initially recorded at their estimated fair value of $224 million
based upon prevailing market rates at June 30, 1999. The modification of the terms resulted in a significant decrease in the present value of the future cash flow of the debt and, as a result,
the debt was treated effectively as an extinguishment and reissuance of the debt. The debt was recorded using a 16% interest rate, the estimated market rate for the debt as of December 20,
2001.

As
of December 31, 2003 and December 31, 2002, the Senior Discount Notes include $191.9 million and $139.1 million of accrued interest, respectively. As of
December 31, 2003 and December 31, 2002, the Senior Subordinated Discount Notes include $112.3 million and $83.8 million of accrued interest, respectively, and
$19.1 million and $40.2 million of discount, respectively.

In
connection with the restructuring of Huntsman LLC on September 30, 2002, GOP contributed its interest in the Senior Subordinated Discount Notes to HMP. On May 9, 2003,
HMP completed the purchase of the Senior Subordinated Discount Notes from ICI. As of December 31, 2003, the Senior Subordinated Discount Notes are held by HMP.

13.   Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities

Interest Rate Hedging

Through the Company's borrowing activities, it is exposed to interest rate risk. Such risk arises due to the structure of the Company's debt portfolio, including
the duration of the portfolio and the mix of fixed and floating interest rates. The HI Credit Facilities require that a certain portion of debt be at fixed rates through either interest rate hedges or
through other means that provide a similar effect. Actions taken to reduce interest rate risk include managing the mix and rate characteristics of various interest bearing liabilities as well as
entering into interest rate swaps, collars and options.

As
of December 31, 2003 and 2002, the Company had entered into various types of interest rate contracts to manage its interest rate risk on its long-term debt as
indicated below (in millions):

Under
interest rate swaps, the Company agrees with other parties to exchange, at specified intervals, the difference between fixed-rate and floating-rate interest
amounts calculated by reference to an agreed notional principal amount.

The
Company purchases interest rate cap and interest rate collar agreements to reduce the impact of changes in interest rates on its floating-rate long-term debt.
The cap agreements entitle the Company to receive from the counterparties (major banks) the amounts, if any, by which the Company's interest payments on certain of its floating-rate
borrowings exceed a certain rate. The floor agreements require the Company to pay to the counterparties (major banks) the amount, if any, by which the Company's interest payments on certain of its
floating-rate borrowings are less than a certain rate.

F-21

---



The
majority of the interest rate contracts have been designated as cash flow hedges of future interest payments on its variable rate debt. The fair value of these interest rate
contracts designated as hedges as of December 31, 2003 and 2002 was a loss of approximately $6.2 million and $15.6 million, respectively, which is recorded in other accrued
liabilities and in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) to the extent of the effective portions of the hedging instruments. Gains and losses related to these contracts will be reclassified
from other comprehensive income (loss) into earnings in the periods in which the related hedged interest payments are made. As of December 31, 2003, losses of approximately $5.9 million
are expected to be reclassified into earnings over the next twelve months. Gains and losses on these agreements, including amounts recorded related to hedge ineffectiveness, are reflected as interest
expense in the statement of operations. A net gain of $2.5 million was recorded in interest expense in the year ended December 31, 2003. A net loss of $4.2 million was recorded in
interest expense in the year ended December 31, 2002.

As
of December 31, 2003 and 2002 swap agreements with a fair value of $3.4 million and $7.8 million loss, respectively have not been designated as a hedge for
financial reporting purposes. Accordingly, income of $4.6 million and expense of $0.2 million for the years ended December 31, 2003 and 2002 is recognized in interest expense.

The
Company is exposed to credit losses in the event of nonperformance by a counterparty to the derivative financial instruments. The Company anticipates, however, that the
counterparties will be able to fully satisfy obligations under the contracts. Market risk arises from changes in interest rates.

Commodity Price Hedging

As of December 31, 2003, there were no cash flow commodity price hedging contracts recorded in other current assets and other comprehensive income. As of
December 31, 2002, the fair value of cash flow commodity price hedging contracts included in accrued liabilities was $0.8 million.

As
of December 31, 2003 commodity price hedging contracts designated as fair value hedges are included in the balance sheet as an increase of $0.8 million to accrued
liabilities and an increase in inventory of $0.5 million. As of December 31, 2002 commodity price hedging contracts designated as fair value hedges are included in the balance sheet as
an increase of $0.8 to accrued liabilities and an increase to inventory of $0.8 million.

Commodity
price contracts not designated as hedges are reflected in the balance sheet as $0.5 million and $0.3 million in other current assets and accrued liabilities,
respectively, as of December 31, 2003, and $0.8 million and $0.2 million in other current assets and accrued liabilities, respectively, as of December 31, 2002.

During
the years ended December 31, 2003 and 2002, the Company recorded an increase of $2.2 million and $3.5 million, respectively, in cost of goods sold related to
net gains and losses from settled contracts, net gains and losses in fair value price hedges, and the change in fair value on commodity price hedging contracts not designated as hedges.

Foreign Currency Rate Hedging

The Company may enter into foreign currency derivative instruments to minimize the short-term impact of movements in foreign currency rates. These
contracts are not designated as hedges for financial reporting purposes and are recorded at fair value. As of December 31, 2003 and 2002 and for the year ended December 31, 2003 and
2002, the fair value, change in fair value, and realized gains (losses) of outstanding foreign currency rate hedging contracts was not material.

F-22

---



Net Investment Hedging

Currency effects of net investment hedges produced losses of approximately $93.6 million and $95.9 million in other comprehensive income (loss)
(foreign currency translation adjustments) for the years ended December 31, 2003 and 2002, respectively. As of December 31, 2003 and 2002, there was a cumulative net loss of
approximately $126.3 million and $32.7 million, respectively.

The
Company has net operating loss carryforwards ("NOLs") of approximately $827 million in various foreign jurisdictions. While the majority of the NOLs have no expiration date,
$47.2 million have a limited life and begin to expire in 2006. The Company has a valuation allowance against a portion of its deferred tax assets, primarily related to NOLs in certain foreign
jurisdictions. If the valuation allowance is reversed, the majority of the benefit will be allocated to the income tax provision on the consolidated statements of operations, while $3.2 million
of the benefit will be used to reduce intangible assets. During 2003, the Company recorded an additional valuation allowance of $54.4 million. During 2002, the Company reversed a valuation
allowance of $19.1 million, of which $17.5 million was used to reduce goodwill and other intangibles.

The
Company does not provide for income taxes or benefits on the undistributed earnings of its international subsidiaries as earnings are reinvested and, in the opinion of management,
will continue to be reinvested indefinitely. In consideration of the Company's corporate structure, upon distribution of these earnings, certain of the Company's subsidiaries would be subject to both
income taxes and
withholding taxes in the various international jurisdictions. It is not practicable to estimate the amount of taxes that might be payable upon distribution.

The
Company is treated as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes and as such is generally not subject to U.S. income tax, but rather such income is taxed directly to the
Company's owners. Pursuant to the limited liability company agreement and the limited liability company agreement of HI, the Company has a tax sharing arrangement with HI and all of the Company's
membership interest holders. Under the arrangement, because the Company is treated as a partnership for United States income tax purposes, HI will make payments to the Company, which will in turn make
payments to its membership interest holders in an amount equal to the United States federal and state income taxes the Company and HI would have paid had the Company been treated as a corporation for
tax purposes. The arrangement also provides that, if HI had previously made payments to the Company, and the Company had made payments out to its membership interest holders, HI will receive cash
payments back from the membership interest holders (through the Company) in amounts equal to the United States federal and state income tax refunds or benefit against future tax liabilities HI would
have received from the use of net operating losses or tax credits generated by it, up to the amount of payments that HI had previously made. As of December 31, 2003, approximately
$3.9 million is due to HI from the membership interest holders (through the Company). The net difference of the book basis of the U.S. assets and liabilities over the tax basis of those assets
and liabilities is approximately $478 million.

16.   Employee Benefit Plans

Defined Benefit and Other Postretirement Benefit Plans

The Company sponsors various contributory and non-contributory defined benefit pension plans covering employees in the U.S., the U.K., Netherlands,
Belgium, Canada and a number of other countries. The Company funds the material plans through trust arrangements (or local equivalents) where the assets of the fund are held separately from the
employer. The level of funding is in line with local practice and in accordance with the local tax and supervisory requirements. The plan assets consist primarily of equity and fixed income
securities.

The
Company also sponsors unfunded post-retirement benefit plans other than pensions which provide medical and life insurance benefits covering certain employees in the U.S.
and Canada. In 2003, the healthcare trend rate used to measure the expected increase in the cost of benefits was assumed to be 10% per annum decreasing to 5% per annum after four years. In 2002, the
healthcare trend rate used to measure the expected increase in the cost of benefits was assumed to be 11% per annum decreasing to 5.0% per annum after five years.

If
the healthcare cost trend rate assumptions were increased by 1%, the postretirement benefit obligation as of December 31, 2003 would be increased by $1.4 million. The
effect of this change on the sum of the service cost and interest cost would be an increase of $0.1 million. If the healthcare cost trend rate assumptions were decreased by 1%, the
postretirement benefit obligation as of December 31, 2003 would be decreased by $1.2 million. The effect of this change on the sum of the service cost and interest cost would be a
decrease of $0.1 million.

Equity
securities in the Company's U.S. pension plan did not include any equity securities of the Company or its affiliates at the end of 2003.

Defined Contribution Plans

The Company has defined contribution plans covering its domestic employees and employees in some foreign subsidiaries who have completed at least two years of
service.

The
Company's total combined expense for the above defined contribution plans for the years ended December 31, 2003, 2002 and 2001 were approximately $6.9 million,
$6.1 million and $6.3 million, respectively.

17.   Commitments and Contingencies

The Company has various purchase commitments extending through 2017 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

F-27

---



annual
negotiations. The Company has also entered into a limited number of contracts which require minimum payments, even if no volume is purchased. These contracts approximate $35 million
annually through 2005, declining to approximately $16 million after 2011. Historically, the Company has not made any minimum payments under its take or pay contracts.

The
Company is a party to various proceedings instituted by private plaintiffs, governmental authorities and others arising under provisions of applicable laws, including various
environmental, products liability and other laws. Based in part on the indemnities provided to the Company by ICI and Huntsman Specialty Chemicals Corporation ("Huntsman Specialty") in connection with
the transfer of business to the Company and insurance coverage, management does not believe that the outcome of any of these matters will have a material adverse effect on the Company's financial
condition or results of operations.

18.   Environmental Matters

General

The Company's operations are subject to extensive environmental laws and regulations concerning emissions to the air, discharges to surface and subsurface waters,
and the generation, handling, storage, transportation, treatment and disposal of waste materials, as adopted by various governmental authorities in the jurisdictions in which it operates. The Company
makes every reasonable effort to remain in full compliance with existing governmental regulations. Accordingly, the Company may incur costs for capital improvements and general compliance under
environmental laws, including costs to acquire, maintain and repair pollution control equipment. The Company cannot provide assurances that material capital expenditures beyond those currently
anticipated will not be required under environmental laws.

Environmental Accruals

The Company has established financial reserves relating to environmental restoration and remediation programs, which it believes are sufficient for known
requirements. In connection with various acquisitions, the acquisition agreements generally provide for indemnification for environmental pollution existing on the date of acquisition. Liabilities are
recorded when site restoration and environmental remediation and clean-up obligations are either known or considered probable and can be reasonably estimated. Liabilities are based upon
all available facts, existing technology, past experience and cost-sharing and indemnification arrangements (as to which, the Company considers the viability of other parties).

The
Company's capital expenditures relating to environmental matters for the year ended December 31, 2003, were approximately $31 million. A total of $17.0 million
has been accrued related to environmental related liabilities as of December 31, 2003.

Estimates
of ultimate future environmental restoration and remediation costs are inherently imprecise due to currently unknown factors such as the magnitude of possible contamination,
the timing and extent of such restoration and remediation, the determination of the Company's liability in proportion to other parties, the extent to which such costs are recoverable from insurance,
and the extent to which environmental laws and regulations may change in the future. However, it is not anticipated that any future costs, in excess of those that have been accrued by the Company,
will be material to its results of operations or financial position as a result of compliance with current environmental laws and regulations.

Potential Liabilities

Given the nature of the Company's business, violations of environmental laws may result in restrictions being imposed on operating activities, substantial fines,
penalties, damages or other costs, any of which could have a material adverse effect on the Company's business, financial condition, results of operations or cash flows. The Company is aware of the
following matters:

The
Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (the "TCEQ," formerly the Texas Natural Resource Conservation Commission or TNRCC) approved a settlement with Huntsman Petrochemical
Corporation effective June 12, 2003 regarding allegations of environmental regulatory violations at the Company's Port Neches, Texas, facilities. The settlement imposes penalties totaling
$302,250, of which $7,000 has already been paid. The balance of the penalty is due on June 11, 2005. Additionally, the settlement requires that the Company apply for an air emissions permit for
the joint wastewater treatment plant that services all of the Port Neches facilities. Less than $100,000 of the aforementioned penalties are allocable to the Company. Although management does not
anticipate it, it is possible that the terms of a joint wastewater treatment plant air permit may cause the Company to incur substantial costs that could be material.

On
October 6, 2002, a leak of sulphuric acid from two tanks located near the Company's Whitehaven, U.K. plant was discovered. About 342 to 347 tonnes of acid were released onto
the ground and into the soil near the tanks. Although the Company took immediate steps to contain the spillage and recover acid, a quantity of acid reached a nearby beach via a geological fault. The
Company believes that it did not own the tanks; however, it did own the acid in the tanks. The U.K. Environment Agency ("EA") is conducting an investigation that could result in a prosecution being
initiated. The U.K. Health and Safety Executive has issued three Improvement Notices requiring corrective action with which the Company is complying. Although the Company can give no assurances, based
on currently available information and its understanding of similar investigations and penalties in the past, it believes that, if any charges are brought or additional corrective action orders issued
and the Company is ultimately found to be legally responsible, the probable penalties would not be material to its financial position or results of operations.

During
2002 and 2003, the Company voluntarily removed filter salts from a property previously operated by Almagrera in Spain. Almagrera supplied sulphuric acid to one of the Company's
subsidiaries. Under an agreement with Almagrera, the subsidiary had for some time supplied filter salts to Almagrera to be used in the manufacture of sulphuric acid. When Almagrera filed for
bankruptcy and closed its plant in 2001, a large quantity of stored filter salts was found on its premises, far from its normal warehouse. The Company spent $2.2 million to remove and dispose
of the salts. The project has been completed.

The
Company is aware that there is or may be soil or groundwater contamination at some of its facilities resulting from past operations. Based on available information and the
indemnification rights (including indemnities provided by Huntsman Specialty, ICI, The Rohm and Haas Company, Rhodia S.A. and Dow Chemical, for the facilities that each of them transferred to the
Company), the Company believes that the costs to investigate and remediate known contamination will not have a material adverse effect on its financial condition, results of operations or cash flows;
however, the Company cannot give any assurance that such indemnities will fully cover the costs of investigation and remediation, that it will not be required to contribute to such costs or that such
costs will not be material.

By
a Notice of Enforcement letter dated March 6, 2003, the Company was notified by the TCEQ of a probable enforcement action arising out of the inspection of the Freeport, Texas
facility on December 16-19, 2002. Seven types of violations relating to the Texas Clean Air Act requirements were cited. After extensive communications with the TCEQ regarding the
validity of the allegations, the TCEQ determined that the imposition of penalties was inappropriate. This matter has been dropped.

Under
the EU Integrated Pollution Prevention and Control Directive ("IPPC"), EU member governments are to adopt rules and implement a cross-media (air, water, waste) environmental
permitting program for individual facilities. The UK was the first EU member government to request IPPC permit applications from the Company. In the UK, the Company has submitted several applications
and, very recently, negotiated and received its first IPPC permits. Based upon the terms of these permits, the Company does not anticipate that it will have to make material capital expenditures to
comply. Other IPPC permits are under review by the UK Environment Agency. The Company is not yet in a position to know with certainty what the other UK IPPC permits will require, and it is possible
that the costs of compliance could be material; however, the Company believes, based upon its experience to date, that the costs of compliance with IPPC permitting in the UK will not be material to
its financial condition or results of operations. Additionally, the IPPC directive has recently been implemented in France, and like the Company's operations in the UK, the Company does not anticipate
having to make material capital expenditures to comply.

With
respect to the Company's facilities in other EU jurisdictions, IPPC implementing legislation is not yet in effect, or the Company has not yet been required to seek IPPC permits.
Accordingly, while the Company expects to incur additional future costs for capital improvements and general compliance under IPPC requirements in these jurisdictions, at the present time it is unable
to determine whether or not these costs will be material. Accordingly, the Company cannot provide assurance that material capital expenditures and compliance costs will not be required in connection
with IPPC requirements.

MTBE Developments

The use of MTBE is controversial in the United States and elsewhere and may be substantially curtailed or eliminated in the future by legislation or regulatory
action. The presence of MTBE in some groundwater supplies in California and other states (primarily due to gasoline leaking from underground storage tanks) and in surface water (primarily from
recreational watercraft) has led to public concern about MTBE's potential to contaminate drinking water supplies. Heightened public awareness regarding this issue has resulted in state, federal and
foreign initiatives to rescind the federal oxygenate requirements for reformulated gasoline or restrict or prohibit the use of MTBE in particular. For example, the California Air Resources Board
adopted regulations that prohibit the addition of MTBE to gasoline as of January 1, 2004. Certain other states have also taken actions to restrict or eliminate the future use of MTBE. In
connection with its ban, the State of California requested that the EPA waive the federal oxygenated fuels requirements of the federal Clean Air Act for gasoline sold in California. The EPA denied the
State's request on June 12, 2001. Certain of the state bans, including California's ban, have been challenged in court as unconstitutional (in light of the Clean Air Act). On June 4,
2003, a federal court of appeals rejected such a challenge to California's ban, ruling that the ban is not pre-empted by the Clean Air Act.

Bills
have been introduced in the U.S. Congress to curtail or eliminate the oxygenated fuels requirements in the Clean Air Act, or curtail MTBE use. To date, no such legislation has
become law, but such legislation is being considered by Congress and could result in a federal ban on the use of MTBE in gasoline. In addition, on March 20, 2000, the EPA announced its
intention, through an advanced notice of proposed rulemaking, to phase out the use of MTBE under authority of the federal Toxic Substances Control Act. In its notice, the EPA also called on the U.S.
Congress to restrict the use of MTBE under the Clean Air Act.

In
Europe, the EU issued a final risk assessment report on MTBE on September 20, 2002. While no ban of MTBE was recommended, several risk reduction measures relating to storage
and handling of MTBE-containing fuel were recommended. Separate from EU action, Denmark entered into a voluntary agreement with refiners to reduce the sale of MTBE in Denmark. Under the
agreement, use of MTBE in 92- and 95-octane gasoline in Denmark ceased by May 1, 2002; however, MTBE is still an

F-30

---



additive
in a limited amount of 98-octane gasoline sold in about 100 selected service stations in Denmark.

Any
phase-out or other future regulation of MTBE in other states, nationally or internationally may result in a significant reduction in demand for the Company's MTBE and
result in a material loss in revenues or material costs or expenditures. In the event that there should be a phase-out of MTBE in the United States, the Company believes it will be able to
export MTBE to Europe or elsewhere or use its co-product TBA to produce saleable products other than MTBE. The Company believes that the low production costs at its PO/MTBE facility will
put it in a favorable position relative to other higher cost sources (primarily, on-purpose manufacturing). If the Company opts to produce products other than MTBE, necessary modifications
to its facilities may require significant capital expenditures and the sale of the other products may produce a materially lower level of cash flow than the sale of MTBE.

In
addition, while the Company has not been named as a defendant in any litigation concerning the environmental effects of MTBE, it cannot provide assurances that it will not be involved
in any such litigation or that such litigation will not have a material adverse effect on its business, financial condition, results of operations or cash flows. In 2003, the U.S. House of
Representatives passed a version of an energy bill that contained limited liability protection for producers of MTBE. The Senate's version of the bill did not have liability protection. The issue was
one of the reasons that a compromise energy bill was not passed. Whether a compromise will be reached on this legislation in 2004, and whether any compromise will provide liability protection for
producers, are unknown. In any event, the liability protection provision in the House bill applied only to defective product claims; it would not preclude other types of lawsuits.

REACH Developments

On October 29, 2003, the European Commission adopted a proposal for a new EU regulatory framework for chemicals. Under this proposed new system called
"REACH" (Registration,Evaluation andAuthorisation of CHemicals), enterprises 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 the Company. As proposed, REACH would take effect
in stages over the next decade. The impacts of REACH on the chemical industry and on the Company are unclear at this time because the parameters of the program are still being actively debated.

22.   Selected Unaudited Quarterly Financial Data

In March 2004, the Company's management discovered that it had inappropriately calculated foreign exchange gains and losses with respect to its accounts
receivable securitization program and had incorrectly classified the foreign exchange gains and losses on the securitized receivables denominated in foreign currency in its consolidated statements of
operations for each of the first three quarters of 2003. As a result, the Company has restated its consolidated financial statements for each of the first three quarters of 2003 to correct its
accounting and classification of foreign exchange gains and losses related to the accounts receivable securitization program. A summary of the significant effects of this restatement is included below
(dollars in millions):

During
the years ended December 31, 2003 and 2002, the Company incurred $56.7 million and $7.7 million, respectively, of restructuring and plant closing costs,
respectively. See, "Note 10Restructuring and Plant Closing Costs."

23.   Restatements

In the course of preparing a registration statement in October 2004 for the proposed initial public offering of the common stock of the Company's ultimate
parent, the Company determined to reclassify certain amounts in its consolidated statements of cash flows for the year ended December 31, 2003, 2002 and 2001, to accurately reflect the effects
of foreign currency exchange gains and losses and investments in unconsolidated affiliates. As a result, the Company restated the accompanying consolidated statements of cash flows for the years ended
December 31, 2003, 2002, and 2001. There was no change to the line "Cash or Cash Equivalents" due to this restatement. A summary of the significant effects of this restatement is provided below
(dollars in millions):

24.   Subsequent Events

Litigation

The Company settled certain claims during and prior to the second quarter of 2004 relating to discoloration of unplasticized polyvinyl chloride products allegedly
caused by the Company's TiO2 ("Discoloration Claims"). Substantially all of the TiO2 that was the subject of these claims was manufactured prior to the Company's acquisition of
its TiO2 business from ICI in 1999. Net of amounts it has received from insurers and pursuant to contracts of indemnity, the Company has paid approximately £8 million
($14.9 million) in costs and settlement amounts for Discoloration Claims.

Certain
insurers have denied coverage with respect to certain Discoloration Claims. The Company brought suit against these insurers to recover the amounts the Company believes are due to
it. The court found in favor of the insurers, but the Company has lodged an application for leave to appeal that decision. The Company does not expect the application to be determined before the end
of 2004.

During
the second quarter 2004, the Company recorded a charge in the amount of $14.9 million with respect to Discoloration Claims. The Company expects that it will incur
additional costs with respect to Discoloration Claims, potentially including additional settlement amounts. However, the

Company
does not believe that it has material ongoing exposure for additional Discoloration Claims, after giving effect to its rights under contracts of indemnity, including the rights of indemnity it
has against ICI. Nevertheless, the Company can provide no assurance that its costs with respect to Discoloration Claims will not have a material adverse impact on its financial condition, results of
operations or cash flows.

Restructuring and Plant Closing Costs

During the nine months ended September 30, 2004, the Company recorded additional restructuring and plant closing costs of $171.5 million, of
which $82.4 million represents non-cash charges for asset impairments and write-downs.

In
addition, on October 27, 2004, the Company adopted a plan to rationalize the Whitehaven, U.K., surfactants operations of our Performance Products segment. In connection with
the rationalization of the Whitehaven facility, the Company expects to recognize a restructuring charge of approximately $51 million in the fourth quarter of 2004.
