NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(millions, except as indicated)

(Unaudited)

NOTE 1: Basis of Presentation

        The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all the information and footnotes necessary for a comprehensive presentation of financial position and results of operations.

        It is management's opinion, however, that all material adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) have been made which are necessary for a fair presentation of the interim financial statements. The results for the interim period are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the year.

        For further information, refer to the consolidated financial statements included in the Company's 2001 Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

NOTE 2: New Accounting Standards and Reclassifications

        Effective January 1, 2002, the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 144 (FAS 144), "Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets," which addresses financial accounting and reporting for the impairment or disposal of long-lived assets and supersedes Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 121, "Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed Of," and the accounting and reporting provisions of APB Opinion No. 30, "Reporting the Results of Operations for a Disposal of a Segment of a Business." As a result of the application of FAS 144 and the classification of the Energy Services and Products business unit, OSCA, and the Fine Chemicals portion of the Performance Chemicals business unit as discontinued operations (see Note 6), the Company was required to restate its consolidated financial position, results of operations and cash flows for all periods presented.

        In June 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 142 (FAS 142), "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets," effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2001. Under the new rules, goodwill is no longer amortized but is subject to annual impairment tests in accordance with the Statement. Other intangible assets continue to be amortized over their estimated useful lives. The Company adopted FAS 142 effective January 1, 2002.

        With the adoption of FAS 142, the Company ceased amortization of goodwill as of January 1, 2002. The following table provides a reconciliation of previously reported net income and earnings per share to amounts adjusted to reflect the exclusion of goodwill amortization, net of related income taxes.

  Adjusted income (loss)—continuing operations   $ 13.7   $ (96.9 ) $ 40.9   $ (136.6 )

  Reported income (loss) per share—continuing operations   $ 0.27   $ (1.95 ) $ 0.81   $ (2.79 )

  Adjusted income (loss) per share—continuing operations   $ 0.27   $ (1.92 ) $ 0.81   $ (2.71 )
   
 
 
 
 

        The Company has completed the transitional impairment tests required by FAS 142. In connection with that review, the Company determined that the fair values of its reporting units exceeded the carrying value of those reporting units as of January 1, 2002. Accordingly, no impairment loss was recognized as a result of adopting

6



FAS 142. The Company will complete the annual impairment tests required by FAS 142 in the fourth quarter of 2002.

        In June 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 141, "Business Combinations," effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2001. Under the Statement, the pooling of interest method is no longer permitted for business combinations initiated after June 30, 2001. The Company adopted this new standard beginning January 1, 2002.

        In August 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 143 (FAS 143), "Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations," which requires companies to record the fair value of a liability for an asset retirement obligation in the period in which it is incurred, which is adjusted to its present value each period. In addition, the companies must capitalize a corresponding amount by increasing the carrying amount of the related long-lived asset, which is depreciated over the useful life of the related asset. A gain or loss may be incurred upon settlement of the liability. FAS 143 is effective for fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2002. The Company is currently assessing the impact of adopting this statement.
