DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS ÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýWe are a global manufacturer of differentiated organic chemical products and of inorganic chemical products. Our products comprise a broad range of chemicals and formulations, which we market globally to a diversified group of consumer and industrial customers. Our products are used in a wide range of applications, including those in the adhesives, aerospace, automotive, construction products, personal care and hygiene, durable and non-durable consumer products, electronics, medical, packaging, paints and coatings, power generation, refining, synthetic fiber, textile chemicals and dye industries. We are a leading global producer in many of our key product lines, including MDI, amines, surfactants, maleic anhydride, epoxy-based polymer formulations, textile chemicals, dyes and titanium dioxide. ÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýWe operate in five segments: Polyurethanes, Performance Products, Advanced Materials, Textile Effects and Pigments. Our Polyurethanes, Performance Products, Advanced Materials and Textile Effects segments produce differentiated organic chemical products and our Pigments segment produces primarily inorganic chemical products. In a series of transactions beginning in 2006, we sold or shutdown substantially all of our Australian styrenics operations and our North American polymers and base chemicals operations. We report the results of these businesses as discontinued operations. COMPANY ÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýOur Company, a Delaware corporation, was formed in 2004 to hold the ÀÖÌìÌÃfun88(ÖйúÇø)¹Ù·½ÍøÕ¾ businesses. JonÌýM. ÀÖÌìÌÃfun88(ÖйúÇø)¹Ù·½ÍøÕ¾ founded the predecessor to our Company in 1970 as a small packaging company. Since then, we have grown through a series of acquisitions and now own a global portfolio of businesses. ÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýCurrently, we operate all of our businesses through ÀÖÌìÌÃfun88(ÖйúÇø)¹Ù·½ÍøÕ¾ International, our 100% owned subsidiary.

The differences between our financial statements and ÀÖÌìÌÃfun88(ÖйúÇø)¹Ù·½ÍøÕ¾ International's financial statements relate primarily to the following:
PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION ÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýOur condensed consolidated financial statements (unaudited) include the accounts of our wholly-owned and majority-owned subsidiaries and any variable interest entities for which we are the primary beneficiary. Intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated. USE OF ESTIMATES ÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýThe preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. RECENT DEVELOPMENTS Rockwood Acquisition ÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýOn OctoberÌý1, 2014, we completed the acquisition of the Performance Additives and Titanium Dioxide businesses of Rockwood Holdings,ÌýInc. ("Rockwood"), which manufacture and market specialty titanium dioxide and performance additives products (the "Rockwood Acquisition"). We paid $1.04Ìýbillion in cash, subject to certain purchase price adjustments, and assumed certain unfunded pension liabilities in connection with the Rockwood Acquisition. The acquisition was financed using a bank term loan. ÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýThe following businesses were acquired from Rockwood:
ÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýThe unaudited condensed combined balance sheet of the acquired businesses as of JuneÌý30, 2014 and the unaudited condensed combined statements of operations, comprehensive income (loss), cash flows, and changes in parent company equity of the acquired businesses for the six months ended JuneÌý30, 2014 and JuneÌý30, 2013 can be found in our current report on FormÌý8-K filed on OctoberÌý7, 2014. ÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýIn connection with securing certain regulatory approvals required to complete the Rockwood Acquisition, we entered into a definitive agreement to sell our Ti02 product line used in printing inks to Henan Billions ChemicalsÌýCo.,ÌýLtd. The sale does not include any manufacturing assets. The sale is expected to close in the fourth quarter of 2014. Port Neches Manufacturing Disruption ÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýDuring the third quarter of 2014, we experienced an unplanned manufacturing disruption on a production unit at our facility in Port Neches, Texas for approximately three weeks. There were no injuries resulting from the equipment failure. The Port Neches facility manufactures methyl tertiary butyl ether (MTBE), propylene oxide (PO) and propylene glycols (PG). The manufacturing disruption also impacted internal PO supply to downstream derivatives. |
