Note 1 - Basis of Presentation

     General Chemical Industrial Products Inc. ("GCIP" together with its
subsidiaries, the "Company") is a leading North American supplier of soda ash
and calcium chloride to a broad range of industrial and municipal customers. The
primary end markets for soda ash include glass production, sodium-based
chemicals, powdered detergents, water treatment and other industrial end uses.
Calcium chloride is mainly used for dust control and roadbed stabilization
during the summer and melting ice during the winter.

     The Company's recent financial performance has been negatively impacted by
lower soda ash prices, rising energy costs and the weaker economic environment.
The Company failed to make the interest payments on its Subordinated Notes that
were due on May 1, 2003 and November 1, 2003. In addition, since April 1, 2003
the Company has not been in compliance with certain financial and other
covenants contained in its Credit Agreement, dated as of April 30, 1999 (the
"Senior Credit Agreement"), among General Chemical Industrial Products, Inc., as
Borrower, the banks and other financial institutions designated as lenders,
JPMorgan Chase (formerly The Chase Manhattan Bank), as Administrative Agent,
JPMorgan Chase of Canada (formerly The Chase Manhattan Bank of Canada), as
Canadian Administrative Agent, the Bank of Nova Scotia, as Syndication Agent,
and The First National Bank of Chicago, as Documentation Agent. At September
30, 2003, the Company owed $109.7 million, including accrued and unpaid
interest, in respect of its Subordinated Notes and $55.4 million under its
Senior Credit Agreement, all of which obligations are classified as current. The
Company has commenced discussions with its creditors with respect to the
restructuring of the Company's indebtedness. The Company expects that such
restructuring, if successfully concluded, will result in the extinguishment of
the Company's existing equity interests and a reduction in the amount of the
Company's indebtedness to a level that the Company believes that it can service
out of its existing operations. However, there can be no assurance that the
Company will be able to reach agreement with its creditors on the terms of any
restructuring; if no such agreement is reached, the Company would be unable to
repay its outstanding indebtedness and would have to explore other alternatives,
including a reorganization of the Company, a sale of the Company's assets
pursuant to Chapter 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code (the "Bankruptcy
Code") or a liquidation pursuant to Chapter 7 of the Bankruptcy code. See Note 5
- Long-Term Debt for further discussion.

     The accompanying unaudited interim consolidated financial statements as of
September 30, 2003 and for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2003
reflect the operations of GCIP and its subsidiaries. These unaudited interim
financial statements have been prepared by the Company pursuant to Article 10 of
the Securities and Exchange Commission's Regulation S-X. The financial
statements do not include certain information and footnotes required by
generally accepted accounting principles. In the opinion of management, all
adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) considered necessary
for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the nine
months ended September 30, 2003 are not necessarily indicative of the results
that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2003. The Company's
financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements
and the notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 2002 included in the
Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K.

     In April 2003, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards
("SFAS") No. 149, "Amendment of Statement 133 on Derivative Instruments and
Hedging Activities." This Statement is effective for contracts entered into or
modified after June 30, 2003, with certain exceptions. This statement amends
SFAS 133 to clarify the financial accounting and reporting of derivative
instruments and hedging activities and requires contracts with similar
characteristics to be accounted for on a comparable basis. The Company adopted
the provisions of the statement on its effective date. The adoption of this
statement did not have a material impact to its consolidated financial
statements.

     On May 15, 2003, the FASB issued SFAS No. 150 "Accounting for Certain
Financial Instruments with Characteristics of both Liabilities and Equity",
which aims to eliminate diversity in practice by requiring that the
"freestanding" financial instruments be reported as liabilities by their
issuers.

     The provisions of SFAS 150, which also include a number of new disclosure
requirements, are effective for instruments entered into or modified after May
31, 2003 and for pre-existing instruments as of the beginning of the first
interim period that commences after June 15, 2003. The Company adopted the
provisions of the statement on its effective date. The adoption of this
statement did not have a material impact to its consolidated financial
statements.

     In January 2003, the FASB issued Interpretation No. ("FIN") 46,
"Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities". The Company has no arrangements
that would be subject to this interpretation.

Note 2 - Comprehensive Loss

     Total comprehensive loss is comprised of net loss, foreign currency
translation adjustments and the change in unrealized gains and losses on
derivative instruments. Total comprehensive loss for the three and nine months
ended September 30, 2002 and 2003 was ($8,798) and ($6,357), and ($187) and
($23,585), respectively.

Note 4- Restructuring

     In the fourth quarter of 2000, the Company recorded a pretax restructuring
charge, including related asset writedowns and workforce reductions, of $59.8
million. In the second quarter of 2001, the Company provided for additional
pretax restructuring charges of $1.7 million for revised actuarial estimates of
employee termination benefits. The restructuring involved the idling of the
Company's synthetic soda ash production capacity in Amherstburg, Ontario,
Canada. The balance of the restructuring reserve at December 31, 2002 was $2.1
million. Spending against this reserve was $1.3 million during the nine months
ended September 30, 2003.

     In the fourth quarter of 2002, the Company recorded a pretax restructuring
charge, including related asset writedowns and workforce reductions, of $7.7
million. The restructuring involved the closing of the Company's calcium
chloride production capacity in Manistee, Michigan which resulted in the
writedown of long-lived assets and workforce reductions of approximately 40
hourly and salaried employees. The balance of the restructuring reserve at
December 31, 2002 was $1.1 million. Spending against this reserve was $0.5
million during the nine months ended September 30, 2003.

                                   (unaudited)

Note 5 - Long-Term Debt

     The Company failed to make the interest payments on its Subordinated Notes
that were due on May 1, 2003 and November 1, 2003. In addition, since April 1,
2003 the Company has not been in compliance with certain financial and other
covenants contained in its Senior Credit Agreement. As a result of such
defaults, the holders of the Subordinated Notes and the lenders under the
Company's Senior Credit Agreement may declare all amounts outstanding
thereunder, including all accrued and unpaid interest, immediately due and
payable. At September 30, 2003, the outstanding principal amount of the
Company's Subordinated Notes was $100 million, and the outstanding amount due
under the Company's Senior Credit Agreement was $55.4 million, all of which is
classified as current.

     On March 25, 2003, the Company entered into a Forbearance and Amendment
Agreement with the lenders under its Senior Credit Agreement, pursuant to which
such lenders agreed not to exercise any remedies for the existing defaults
through July 30, 2003 to allow the Company time to pursue a restructuring of its
existing indebtedness. Such lenders extended the forbearance agreement on July
30, 2003 and October 1, 2003. Currently, the forbearance period expires on
January 15, 2004. During the forbearance period the Company has agreed to
restrict its ability to incur additional liens, make payments on account of
indebtedness other than indebtedness under the Senior Credit Agreement or
currently scheduled payments, make any direct or indirect payment on or in
respect of the Subordinated Notes, or request loans or advances. In addition,
the Company has agreed to permanently reduce the total commitments available
under its Senior Credit Agreement to $70 million and to reduce the total
commitments during the forbearance period to the lesser of (i) $60 million or
(ii) 115% of the projected usage under the Senior Credit Agreement for such day
according to a fixed schedule. The Company is also required under the
Forbearance and Amendment Agreement to meet certain milestones in the progress
of its restructuring efforts.

     The Company continues to have discussions with its creditors with respect
to the restructuring of the Company's indebtedness. In connection with such
activities, the Company has recorded reorganization expense of $2.3 million
and $5.8 million, respectively, for the three and nine month periods ended
September 30, 2003. The Company expects that such restructuring, if successfully
concluded, will result in the extinguishments of the Company's existing equity
interests and a reduction in the amount of the Company's indebtedness to a
level that the Company believes that it can service out of its existing
operations. However, there can be no assurance that the Company will be
able to reach agreement with its creditors on the terms of any restructuring;
if no such agreement is reached, the Company would be unable to repay its
outstanding indebtedness and would have to explore other alternatives,
including a reorganization of the Company, a sale of the Company's assets
pursuant to Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code or a liquidation pursuant to
Chapter 7 of the Bankruptcy Code.

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

Financial Condition

September 30, 2003 Compared with December 31, 2002

     Cash and cash equivalents were $9.0 million at September 30, 2003 compared
with $11.1 million at December 31, 2002. During the first nine months of 2003,
the Company provided cash flow from operating activities of $0.8 million,
used cash of $6.3 million for capital expenditures and provided net cash from
borrowings of $3.5 million.

     The Company had working capital of $(127.8) million at September 30, 2003
as compared with $43.0 million at December 31, 2002. This decrease in working
capital principally reflects the reclassification of amounts due under the
Senior Credit Agreement and Subordinated Notes to current, lower cash balances,
receivables, inventories, other current assets and higher accrued liabilities,
partially offset by lower accounts payable.

     The Company failed to make the interest payments on its Subordinated Notes
that were due on May 1, 2003 and November 1, 2003. In addition, since April 1,
2003 the Company has not been in compliance with certain financial and other
covenants contained in its Senior Credit Agreement. As a result of such
defaults, the holders of the Subordinated Notes and the lenders under the
Company's Senior Credit Agreement may declare all amounts outstanding
thereunder, including all accrued and unpaid interest, immediately due and
payable. At September 30, 2003, the outstanding principal amount of the
Company's Subordinated Notes was $100 million, and the outstanding amount due
under the Company's Senior Credit Agreement was $55.4 million, all of which is
classified as current.

     On March 25, 2003, the Company entered into a Forbearance and Amendment
Agreement with the lenders under its Senior Credit Agreement, pursuant to which
such lenders agreed not to exercise any remedies for the existing defaults
through July 30, 2003 to allow the Company time to pursue a restructuring of its
existing indebtedness. Such lenders extended the forbearance agreement on July
30, 2003 and on October 1, 2003. Currently, the forbearance period expires on
January 15, 2004. During the forbearance period the Company has agreed to
restrict its ability to incur additional liens, make payments on account of
indebtedness other than indebtedness under the Senior Credit Agreement or
currently scheduled payments, make any direct or indirect payment on or in
respect of the Subordinated Notes, or request loans or advances. In addition,
the Company has agreed to permanently reduce the total commitments available
under its Senior Credit Agreement to $70 million and to reduce the total
commitments during the forbearance period to the lesser of (i) $60 million or
(ii) 115% of the projected usage under the Senior Credit Agreement for such day
according to a fixed schedule. The Company is also required under the
Forbearance and Amendment Agreement to meet certain milestones in the progress
of its restructuring efforts.

     The Company continues to have discussions with its creditors with respect
to the restructuring of the Company's indebtedness. The Company expects that
such restructuring, if successfully concluded, will result in the
extinguishments of the Company's existing equity interests and a reduction in
the amount of the Company's indebtedness to a level that the Company believes
that it can service out of its existing operations. However, there can be no
assurance that the Company will be able to reach agreement with its creditors on
the terms of any restructuring; if no such agreement is reached, the Company
would be unable to repay its outstanding indebtedness and would have to explore
other alternatives, including a reorganization of the Company, a sale of the
Company's assets pursuant to Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code or a liquidation
pursuant to Chapter 7 of the Bankruptcy Code.

     The Company's leverage and debt service requirements (1) increase its
vulnerability to economic downturns, (2) potentially limit the Company's ability
to respond to competitive pressures, and (3) may limit the Company's ability to
obtain additional financing in the future for working capital, capital
expenditures, acquisitions, strategic

investments or general corporate purposes. The Company's Subordinated Notes
Indenture and Senior Credit Agreement impose operating and financial
restrictions on the Company. These covenants affect, and in certain cases, limit
the Company's ability to incur additional indebtedness, make capital
expenditures, make investments and acquisitions and sell assets, pay dividends
and make other distributions to shareholders, and consolidate, merge or sell all
or substantially all assets.

     In addition, pursuant to the Forbearance and Amendment Agreement, the
Company agreed to restrict its ability to incur additional liens, make payments
on account of indebtedness other than indebtedness under the Senior Credit
Agreement or currently scheduled payments, make any direct or indirect payment
on or in respect of the Subordinated Notes, or request Eurodollar loans with an
interest period of longer than two months.

Results of Operations

September 30, 2003 Compared with September 30, 2002

     Net revenues for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2003
decreased 7.0 percent and increased 4.1 percent to $66.3 million and $210.8
million, respectively, from $71.3 million and $202.5 million for the comparable
prior year periods. Net revenues for the three month period ended September 30,
2003 were negatively affected by lower domestic soda ash prices as well as lower
calcium chloride volumes, partially offset by a stronger Canadian dollar. Net
revenues for the nine month period ended September 30, 2003 were positively
effected by higher soda ash volumes and a stronger Canadian dollar, partially
offset by lower domestic soda ash prices and calcium chloride volumes.

     Gross profit for the three month period ended September 30, 2003 decreased
$8.2 million to $4.7 million from $12.9 million for the comparable prior year
period. Gross profit as a percentage of net revenues for the three month period
ended September 30, 2003 decreased to 7.0 percent from 18.1 percent for the same
period in 2002. Gross profit for the nine month period ended September 30, 2003
decreased $16.6 million to $15.5 million from $32.1 million for the comparable
prior year period. Gross profit as a percentage of net revenues for the nine
month period ended September 30, 2003 decreased to 7.4 percent from 15.9 percent
for the same period in 2002. These decreases were primarily due to higher energy
costs, lower domestic soda ash prices, higher calcium chloride feedstock costs
and a stronger Canadian dollar.

     Selling, general and administrative expense was $3.9 million and $11.6
million for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2003,
respectively, versus $3.9 million and $11.7 million for the comparable prior
year periods.

     Reorganization expense for the three and nine month periods ended September
30, 2003 were $2.3 million and $5.8 million, respectively.

     Interest expense for the three and nine month periods ended September 30,
2003 was $3.8 million and $11.3 million, which was $0.1 million and $0.3 million
higher, respectively, than the comparable prior period.

     Minority interest for the three and nine month periods ended September 30,
2003 was $1.3 million and $4.3 million, respectively, versus $4.0 million and
$9.1 million for the same period in 2002. The decreases in both periods reflect
lower earnings at General Chemical (Soda Ash) Partners primarily due to lower
domestic soda ash prices and higher energy costs.

     Net income (loss) was $(5.3) million and $(16.4) million for the three and
nine month periods ended September 30, 2003, respectively, versus $0.8 million
and $0.2 million for the comparable prior year periods, for the foregoing
reasons.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

     In April 2003, the FASB issued SFAS No. 149, "Amendment of Statement 133 on
Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities." This Statement is effective for
contracts entered into or modified after June 30, 2003, with certain exceptions.
This statements amends SFAS 133 to clarify the financial accounting and
reporting of derivative instruments and hedging activities and requires
contracts with similar characteristics to be accounted for on a comparable
basis. The Company adopted the provisions of the statement on its effective
date. The adoption of this statement did not have a material impact to its
consolidated financial statements.

     On May 15, 2003, the FASB issued SFAS No. 150 "Accounting for Certain
Financial Instruments with Characteristics of both Liabilities and Equity",
which aims to eliminate diversity in practice by requiring that the
"freestanding" financial instruments be reported as liabilities by their
issuers.

     The provisions of SFAS 150, which also include a number of new disclosure
requirements, are effective for instruments entered into or modified after May
31, 2003 and for pre-existing instruments as of the beginning of the first
interim period that commences after June 15, 2003. The Company adopted the
provisions of the statement on its effective date. The adoption of this
statement did not have a material impact to its consolidated financial
statements.

     In January 2003, the FASB issued Interpretation No. ("FIN") 46,
"Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities". The Company has no arrangements
that would be subject to this interpretation.

Information Concerning Forward-Looking Statements

     Certain of the statements contained in this report (other than the
Company's consolidated financial statements and other statements of historical
fact) are forward-looking statements, including, without limitation, (i) the
statement in "--Financial Condition" concerning the Company's expectation that
such restructuring, if successfully concluded, will result in the extinguishment
of the Company's existing equity interests and a reduction in the amount of the
Company's indebtedness to a level that the Company believes that it can service
out of its existing operations, and (ii) other statements as to management's or
the Company's expectations or beliefs presented in this "Management's Discussion
and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations."

     Forward-looking statements are made based upon management's current
expectations and beliefs concerning future developments and their potential
effects upon the Company. There can be no assurance that future developments
will be in accordance with management's expectations or that the effect of
future developments on the Company will be those anticipated by management. The
important factors described in this report (including, without limitation, those
discussed in "--Financial Condition"), in the Company's Annual Report on Form
10-K for the year ended December 31, 2002, or in other Securities and Exchange
Commission filings (which factors are incorporated herein by reference), could
affect (and in some cases have affected) the Company's actual results and could
cause such results to differ materially from estimates or expectations reflected
in such forward-looking statements.

     While the Company periodically reassesses material trends and uncertainties
affecting the Company's results of operations and financial condition in
connection with its preparation of management's discussion and analysis of
results of operations and financial condition contained in its quarterly and
annual reports, the Company does not intend to review or revise any particular
forward-looking statement referenced in this report in light of future events.

Item 3. Qualitative and Quantitative Disclosures about Market Risk

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

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

     In October 2002, the Company entered into an interest rate swap agreement
with a total notional amount of $8.8 million that qualifies and is designated as
a cash flow hedge in accordance with SFAS 133, "Accounting for Derivative
Instruments and Hedging Activities." The swap agreement matures in April 2004
and was executed in order to convert a portion of the Senior Credit Agreement
floating-rate debt into fixed-rate debt, maintain a capital structure containing
appropriate amounts of fixed and floating-rate debt; and reduce net interest
payments and expense in the near-term. The Company has recorded the change in
fair value of this interest rate swap as a component of comprehensive income.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

     The Company carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the
participation of the Company's management, including the Company's Chief
Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the
design and operation of the Company's disclosure controls and procedures
pursuant to Exchange Act Rule 13a-15 as of the end of the period covered by this
report. Based upon that evaluation, the Company's Chief Executive Officer and
Chief Financial Officer concluded that the Company's disclosure controls and
procedures are effective in timely alerting them to material information
relating to the Company required to be included in this report. There has been
no significant change in the Company's internal controls or procedures during
the fiscal quarter ended September 30, 2003 that has materially affected, or is
reasonably likely to materially affect, the registrant's internal control over
financial reporting.

                           Part II - Other Information

Item 3. Defaults Upon Senior Securities

     The Company was not in compliance with the financial and other covenants
contained in the Senior Credit Agreement, which constitutes an event of default
under the Senior Credit Agreement. The Company's failure to meet such covenant
requirements resulted in the Senior Credit Agreement becoming callable by the
lenders. In addition, in accordance with the Forbearance and Amendment Agreement
the Company was not permitted to make interest payments of $10.6 million on its
Subordinated Notes, and failure to pay within the grace period constituted an
event of default causing the Subordinated Notes to be callable as well. As a
result of the Company's failure to be in compliance with its financial and
other covenants under the Senior Credit Agreement, counterparties to the
Company's interest rate swap agreement have the right to require the Company
to cash settle this agreement by paying fair value to the counterparties.

     The Company continues to have discussions with its lenders towards amending
its Senior Credit Agreement and restructuring its obligations under the
Subordinated Notes. If these discussions do not result in an acceptable
amendment or restructuring of our existing indebtedness, or if our expectations
regarding any of the other factors enumerated above are not realized, the
Company may be required to reduce capital expenditures, sell additional assets,
restructure all or a portion of our existing debt or obtain alternative sources
of financing. However, there can be no assurance that alternative sources of
financing will be available or at terms which are favorable to the Company.
