Audit Opinion
 
The Management Board of Etimex Holding GmbH
 
We have audited the accompanying combined balance sheet of Vistasolar (comprised of the photovoltaic operations of Etimex Holding GmbH (the Company)) as of 31 December 2009, and the related combined statement of income, parent equity, and cash flows for the year then ended.  These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management.  Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit.
 
We conducted our audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the 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. We were not engaged to perform an audit of the Company's internal control over financial reporting. Our audit included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company's internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statemen ts, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.  We believe that our audit provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
 
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the combined financial position of Vistasolar (comprised of the photovoltaic operations of Etimex Holding GmbH) at 31 December 2009, and the combined results of its operations and its cash flows for the year then ended in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in Germany.
 
Accounting principles generally accepted in Germany vary in certain significant respects from accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. Information relating to the nature of such differences is presented in the notes to the combined financial statements under section differences between German GAAP and US GAAP.

Notes to the combined financial statements for fiscal year 2009


General
 
These combined financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Sec. 290 et seq. HGB [“Handelsgesetzbuch”:  German Commercial Code] and include the following specifics inherent to these combined financial statements:

·  
Consolidated group – refer to paragraph ”consolidation and allocation methodology“ and to paragraph “Vistasolar and consolidated group”.
 

·  
Parent equity – refer to paragraph “consolidation and allocation methodology”.
 
 
·  
Language - As these combined financial statements are solely compiled for a specific purpose unlike Sec. 244 HGB and Sec. 298 HGB the language chosen is English.
 
The income statement has been prepared using the cost summary method.
 
In order to improve the clarity of the financial statements we have also indicated in the notes whether individual items are related to other items and “thereof” items.
 
Vistasolar and consolidated group
 
On 1 June 2010, Etimex Holding GmbH (“Holding”) sold the shares of Etimex Solar GmbH (“Vistasolar”) to an American industrial group. The activities of Vistasolar include the manufacture and distribution of films for the photovoltaic industry.
 
These notes are presented as if Vistasolar existed as a separate entity from the remaining business of Holding during the period presented.
 

 
 

 


 












Vistasolar consists of the following entities:
 
 
Entity
   
 
Etimex Solar GmbH, Dietenheim (in the following “Etimex Solar”) 1)
 
Etimex Solar USA Inc., Sacramento, USA (in the following “Etimex Solar USA”) 2)
   

 
1)
Excluding the investment in Etimex Primary Packing GmbH, Dietenheim (in the following “Etimex PP”)
 
2)
Etimex Solar GmbH founded Etimex Solar USA Inc. in 2009. The capital contribution of Etimex Solar USA Inc. of USD500k was made in cash. Etimex Solar holds a 100% equity share in
Etimex USA.
 
Consolidation and allocation methodology
 
The following consolidation and allocation methods have been established by management of Vistasolar. In the opinion of management, the consolidation and allocation methods are reasonable.
 
Consolidation of Etimex Solar USA
 
Etimex Solar USA is allocated to Vistasolar for the first time in the reporting period and is thus consolidated for the first time with Etimex Solar for the purposes of the combined financial statements.
 
Elimination of Etimex PP investment
 
Etimex Solar’s investment in Etimex PP has not been included in the combined financial statements since it is not part of the sale to the American industrial group which these financial statements are to represent. For purposes of the elimination the net book value of the investment in Etimex PP was offset against equity.
 
Parent equity
 
Vistasolar does not represent a legal entity. Parent equity does not therefore comprise the components of subscribed capital, capital reserves and revenue reserves or net income for the year according to Sec. 266 III A HGB and Sec. 298 HGB. Rather, a net figure is derived from the preparation of the combined financial statements.
 
 
 
 

 
 













Current taxes
 
Current taxes are allocated to Etimex Solar and Etimex Solar USA as if the entities were accounted for on a stand-alone basis for the first time in the reporting period. Thereby, tax expenses or tax profits are determined as if both entities filed their own tax returns utilizing the appropriate effective tax rate. For Etimex Solar a current tax expense in the amount of €6.1m was determined and shown as tax provision. For Etimex Solar USA a tax income in the amount of €0.1m was determined and shown as other asset.
 
For German generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) purposes a profit & loss sharing transfer agreement between Etimex Solar and Holding is in place. The effects were deducted from the amount to be transferred due to the existing agreement.
 
Consolidation principles
 
Acquisition accounting was carried out at book value as of the date of first-time consolidation.
 
All transactions within Vistasolar meaning between Etimex Solar and Etimex Solar USA were eliminated upon combination. These include the intercompany receivables and payables, and intercompany revenue and expenses.
 
Accounting and valuation methods
 
The financial statements of the companies included in the combined financial statements of Vistasolar have been prepared in accordance with uniform accounting and valuation principles.
 
The realization and imparity principles were observed; assets are valued at the lower of cost or market.
 
Acquired intangible assets are recognized at acquisition cost and are amortized over their useful lives if they have a limited life.
 
Property, plant and equipment are recorded at their acquisition or production costs, and, if they have a limited useful life, reduced in accordance with their useful life by depreciation. The manufacturing costs of systems produced by Vistasolar itself include, in addition to the individual costs, also depreciation expense required by production.
 
The items under property, plant and equipment are depreciated according to the maximum useful life allowed by tax law. Low-value assets with an individual net value of up to €1,000.00 are fully expensed in the year of acquisition. All other depreciation on additions to property, plant and equipment is charged pro rata temporis.
 
Fixed values were defined for technical operating equipment.
 

 
 

 

Inventories are recognized at the lower of cost or market. For certain inventories values are determined by means of generally accepted simplified valuation methods applying the lower of cost or market principle.
 
Inventories of raw materials, consumables and supplies are valued at the lower of average cost or market as of the balance sheet date.
 
Finished goods and work in process are valued at production cost on the basis of individual product costing derived from the current cost accounting. In addition to the direct cost of materials, direct labor and other special direct costs, production costs include production and materials overheads as well as the minimum depreciation permitted under tax law.
 
In all cases, valuation was at net realizable value, i.e., the cost to complete (and a reasonable profit margin) was deducted from the expected sales prices.
 
Adequate allowances provide for all identifiable inventory valuation risks resulting from slow-moving goods, reduced usability and lower replacement costs.
 
Receivables and other assets are stated at their nominal value. Specific bad debt allowances are provided for all foreseeable valuation risks. The general credit risk is provided for by a general bad debt allowance.
 
Provisions for pensions and early retirement obligations are disclosed at the maximum amounts permitted under tax law. The carrying values were determined on the basis of actuarial principles in accordance with Sec. 6a EStG [“Einkommensteuergesetz”: German Income Tax Act]. They are based on an interest rate of 6% and the 2005 G mortality tables.
 
Tax provision and other provisions account for all uncertain liabilities and potential losses from pending transactions. They are recorded at the amounts required according to prudent business judgment. If the underlying commitment includes an interest portion or constitutes a pension obligation without consideration, a provision was recognized at the present value using an interest rate of 5.5% (prior year: 5.5%) for the part time retirement obligation, and 5.5% (prior year: 5.8%) for anniversary bonuses.
 
Liabilities are recorded at the amount repayable.
 
Foreign currencies were translated at the lower of historical exchange rate or the rate on the balance sheet date.
 





Currency translation
 
The individual foreign permanent establishments were translated at the closing rate in these combined financial statements.
 
All balance sheet items of the individual permanent establishments are translated to the euro at the respective closing rate on the balance sheet date. Translation differences in balance sheet items arising from exchange rate fluctuations since the prior year were posted to translation differences directly in equity.
 
Income and expenses were translated using average monthly rates. The net income/net loss in the translated income statement was carried over to the balance sheet and the difference posted to translation differences directly in equity.

Differences between German GAAP and US GAAP
 
The combined financial statements of Vistasolar were prepared in accordance with German GAAP which vary in certain significant respects from US GAAP. The differences include the treatment of transfer of profit/loss, interest expense, depreciation, pension, income taxes, identified intangible assets and goodwill and are discussed below.
 
Transfer of profit/loss – In accordance with German GAAP, the contractual obligation to eliminate the transfer of profit/loss to Holding is presented as an intercompany reduction to income in the German GAAP combined financial statements. In accordance with US GAAP, the transfer of profit/loss is a dividend and not a reduction of profit/loss.
 
Interest expense - US GAAP allows the push-down of interest expense if practicable in order to accurately reflect all costs of doing business when preparing combined financial statements. However, German GAAP does not allow the push-down of interest expense without a contractual agreement.
 
Depreciation – Depreciation expense is calculated utilizing depreciable tax lives under German GAAP which results in accelerated depreciation. US GAAP utilizes depreciable lives in line with the useful life of the property, plant and equipment which results in differing depreciation expenses.
 
Pension – In accordance with German GAAP, the discount rate does not take into account any future salary or pension increase as it would under US GAAP. In setting the discount rate, US GAAP requires that discount rates shall reflect the rates at which pension benefits could be effectively settled. This may be based on the internal rate of return for a portfolio of high quality bonds with maturities consistent with the nature and timing of future cash flows for each specific plan. In addition under US GAAP, future salary and pension increases are required to be taken into consideration when calculating the projected benefit obligation which then impacts the pension expense.
 
Identified intangible assets – US GAAP requires the recognition of identified intangible assets in a business combination, which could include finite-lived intangible assets. German GAAP does not require recognition of identified intangible assets to the same extent, which results in recognition of amortization expense on identified assets.
 
Goodwill – US GAAP requires the push-down of goodwill to the reporting units of a company while German GAAP does not require a push-down.
 
Income taxes – Tax adjustments affecting income tax expense and deferred taxes would be required for the US GAAP adjustments.

SOLUTIA INC.
UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED COMBINED FINANCIAL INFORMATION

On June 1, 2010, Solutia Inc. ("Solutia") completed the acquisition of Etimex Solar GmbH (“Vistasolar”) from Etimex Holding GmbH (“the Seller”).  Such unaudited pro forma condensed combined statements of operations for the year ended December 31, 2009 and six months ended June 30, 2010 are based on the historical financial statements of Solutia and Vistasolar and certain adjustments, which are described in the notes to the statements below, to give effect to the acquisition as if it had occurred on January 1, 2009.
 
The unaudited pro forma financial information:
 
 
 
has been prepared by management for informational purposes only in accordance with Article 11 of Securities and Exchange Commission Regulation S-X;

 
 
does not purport to represent what the consolidated results of operations actually would have been if the Vistasolar acquisition had occurred on January 1, 2009 or what those results will be for any future period;
 
 
 
includes adjustments based upon currently available information and certain assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. The acquisition has been accounted for, and the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information has been prepared, using the purchase method of accounting. The pro forma adjustments reflect our preliminary estimates of the purchase price allocation and are subject to revision as more detailed analysis is completed and the fair value of Vistasolar’s assets and liabilities is finalized; and
 

 
 
has been adjusted to reflect only matters that are (i) directly attributable to the acquisition of Vistasolar, (ii) factually supportable and (iii) expected to have a continuing impact on the combined results of the companies. No adjustment, therefore, has been made for actions which may be taken subsequent to completion of the acquisition, such as any (i) anticipated growth synergies to be realized through the application of each company’s innovative technologies, (ii) cost synergies resulting from manufacturing and supply chain work process improvements and (iii) additional expenses or costs of integration that Solutia may incur.

The following pro forma financial statements should be read in conjunction with:
 
 
 
the accompanying notes to the unaudited pro forma condensed combined statements of operations;
 
 
 
the consolidated financial statements of Solutia and notes relating thereto for the year ended December 31, 2009 and six months ended June 30, 2010; and
 
 
 
the consolidated financial statements of Vistasolar and notes relating thereto for the year ended December 31, 2009, included in this Form 8-K/A.

SOLUTIA INC.
NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED COMBINED STATEMENT OF OPERATIONS
For the year ended December 31, 2009
(Dollars in millions)


{a} – Represents historical consolidated statement of operations of Solutia for the year ended December 31, 2009 contained in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on February 18, 2010. We reclassified $38 from interest expense to loss on debt extinguishment to conform to the 2010 presentation of our unaudited interim financial statements. The reclassification had no impact on reported income from continuing operations attributable to Solutia.

{b} – Represents historical financial results for Vistasolar derived from the audited annual financial statements for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2009 included in this Form 8-K/A prepared pursuant to the provisions of German commercial law (“local GAAP”). The information presented has been adjusted to convert Vistasolar local GAAP financial information to align with U.S. GAAP and translate from Euros to U.S. dollars using the average exchange rate for the period of $1.4089 : €1.00. Differences between local GAAP and U.S. GAAP that give rise to such adjustments include (i) reduced expense of $1 related to the estimated useful lives of property, plant and equipment used to determine depreciation expense, (ii) additional expense of $1 associated with allocation of the Seller’s intangible assets and associated amortization expense to Vistasolar, (iii) allocation of $16 of the Seller’s interest expense to Vistasolar, (iv) reduced expense of $23 connected with accounting for dividends transferred from Vistasolar to the Seller and (v) the associated income tax benefit of $4 resulting from the aforementioned adjustments.

{c} – To record the excess of annual amortization expense associated with the intangible assets identified in connection with the acquisition over historical amortization expense recognized by Vistasolar as calculated below:

We have allocated the amortization expense adjustment associated with technology to cost of goods sold while the remainder has been reflected as an adjustment to selling, general and administrative expenses.

{d} – To record the amount of annual interest expense of $25 that exceeds the Seller’s historical interest expense that was allocated to Vistasolar.  This amount includes amortization of related debt discount and deferred debt issuance costs related to the $300 of 7.875 percent notes due in 2020 issued in the first quarter of 2010 to facilitate the acquisition.

{e} – To record the adjustment to income tax expense resulting from the pro forma adjustments in notes {c} and {d} at the Vistasolar statutory rate of 27.725 percent.

Differences between local GAAP and U.S. GAAP that give rise to such adjustments include (i) reduced expense of $1 related to the estimated useful lives of property, plant and equipment used to determine depreciation expense, (ii) additional expense of $1 associated with allocation of the Seller’s intangible assets and associated amortization expense t o Vistasolar, (iii) allocation of $7 of the Seller’s interest expense to Vistasolar, (iv) reduced expense of $15 connected with accounting for dividends transferred from Vistasolar to the Seller and (v) the associated income tax benefit of $2 resulting from the aforementioned adjustments.

{c} – To record the excess of five months’ amortization expense associated with the intangible assets identified in connection with the acquisition over historical amortization expense recognized by Vistasolar as calculated below:

{d} – To reflect six months of interest expense of $12, including amortization of debt discount and deferred debt issuance costs, related to the $300 of 7.875 percent notes due in 2020 issued in the first quarter of 2010 to facilitate the acquisition, of which $7 is already included in historical Solutia, and to eliminate the Seller’s historical interest expense allocated to Vistasolar.
