ÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýIn 2008, we and our joint venture partner, the Zamil Group, formed Arabian Amines Company, our ethyleneamines manufacturing joint venture in Jubail, Saudi Arabia. Arabian Amines Company's funding requirements have been satisfied through a combination of debt and equity, with the equity already provided on a 50/50 basis by us and the Zamil Group. Trial production commenced in the second quarter of 2010, and from July 2010, Arabian Amines Company generated significant revenues from the sale of product. The plant has an approximate annual capacity of 60Ìýmillion pounds. We purchase and sell all of the production from this joint venture. Arabian Amines Company was accounted for under the equity method during its development stage; we began consolidating this joint venture beginning JulyÌý1, 2010. For more information, see "NoteÌý7. Variable Interest Entities."

ÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýDuring 2010, we recorded an immaterial non-recurring $18Ìýmillion credit to equity income of investment in unconsolidated affiliates to appropriately reflect our investment in the Sasol-ÀÖÌìÌÃfun88(ÖйúÇø)¹Ù·½ÍøÕ¾ joint venture. This credit represented a cumulative correction of an error that was also individually immaterial in each year since our initial investment in the joint venture in 1997. In connection with the expansion of the maleic anhydride capacity at our Sasol-ÀÖÌìÌÃfun88(ÖйúÇø)¹Ù·½ÍøÕ¾ joint venture, a VIE reconsideration event occurred in the second quarter of 2011 when the plant expansion began production. As a result of our assessment, we concluded that the joint venture is a VIE and that we are the primary beneficiary. Accordingly, we began consolidating this joint venture during the second quarter of 2011. For more information see "NoteÌý7. Variable Interest Entities."
