AL., Case Nos. 03-17948 (PCB) through 03-17962 (PCB) (Debtors in Possession) NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 1. NATURE OF OPERATIONS AND BANKRUPTCY PROCEEDINGS Nature of Operations Solutia Inc., together with its subsidiaries (referred to herein as "Solutia", the "Solutia Group" or the "Company"), is a global manufacturer and marketer of a variety of high-performance chemical-based materials. Solutia is a world leader in performance films for laminated safety glass and after-market applications; specialty products such as water treatment chemicals, heat transfer fluids and aviation hydraulic fluids; and an integrated family of nylon products including high-performance polymers and fibers. Prior to September 1, 1997, Solutia was a wholly-owned subsidiary of the former Monsanto Company (now known as Pharmacia Corporation, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Pfizer, Inc.). On September 1, 1997, Pharmacia distributed all of the outstanding shares of common stock of Solutia as a dividend to Pharmacia stockholders (the "spinoff"). As a result of the spinoff, on September 1, 1997, Solutia became an independent publicly held company and its operations ceased to be owned by Pharmacia. A net deficiency of assets of $113 million resulted from the spinoff. Proceedings Under Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code On December 17, 2003, Solutia Inc. and its 14 U.S. subsidiaries (the "Debtors") filed voluntary petitions for reorganization under Chapter 11 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code in the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of New York (the "Chapter 11 Cases"). The cases were consolidated for the purpose of joint administration and were assigned case number 03-17949 (PCB). Solutia's subsidiaries outside the United States were not included in the Chapter 11 filing. The filing was made to restructure Solutia's balance sheet by reducing indebtedness to appropriate levels, to streamline operations and to reduce costs, in order to allow Solutia to emerge from Chapter 11 as a viable going concern, and to obtain relief from the negative financial impact of liabilities for litigation, environmental remediation and certain post-retirement benefits (the "Legacy Liabilities") and liabilities under operating contracts, all of which were assumed at the time of the Solutia Spinoff. These factors, combined with the weakened state of the chemical manufacturing sector, general economic conditions and continuing high, volatile energy and crude oil costs have been an obstacle to Solutia's financial stability and success. Under Chapter 11, Solutia is operating its businesses as a debtor-in-possession ("DIP") under court protection from creditors and claimants. Since the Chapter 11 filing, all orders sufficient to enable Solutia to conduct normal business activities, including the approval of Solutia's DIP financing, have been entered by the bankruptcy court. While Solutia is subject to Chapter 11, all transactions not in the ordinary course of business require the prior approval of the bankruptcy court. On January 16, 2004, pursuant to authorization from the bankruptcy court, Solutia entered into a $525 million DIP credit facility. This DIP facility consists of (i) a $50 million multiple draw term loan; 10 (ii) a $300 million single draw term loan, which was drawn in full on the effective date of the facility; and (iii) a $175 million borrowing-based revolving credit facility, which includes a $150 million letter of credit subfacility. The DIP credit facility was subsequently amended on March 1, 2004, July 20, 2004 and June 1, 2005. A fourth amendment was entered into on March 17, 2006, with bankruptcy court approval. The fourth amendment, among other things, (i) increased the DIP facility from $525 million to $825 million; (ii) extended the term of the DIP facility from June 19, 2006 to March 31, 2007; (iii) decreased the interest rate on the term loan component of the DIP facility from LIBOR plus 425 basis points to LIBOR plus 350 basis points; (iv) increased certain thresholds allowing the Debtors to retain more of the proceeds from certain dispositions and other extraordinary receipts; (v) approved the disposition of certain assets of the Debtors; (vi) allowed refinancing of, and certain amendments to, Solutia Europe S.A./N.V.'s outstanding euronotes; and (vii) amended certain financial and other covenants. The fourth amendment also contains a number of other changes and other modifications required to make the remaining terms of the DIP facility consistent with the amendments set forth above. As a consequence of the Chapter 11 filing, pending litigation against Solutia is generally stayed, and no party may take any action to collect its pre-petition claims except pursuant to order of the bankruptcy court. November 30, 2004 was the last date by which holders of pre-filing date claims against the Debtors could file such claims. Any holder of a claim that was required to file such claim by November 30, 2004, and did not do so may be barred from asserting such claim against the Debtors and, accordingly, may not be able to participate in any distribution on account of such claim. Differences between claim amounts identified by the Debtors and claims filed by claimants will be investigated and resolved in connection with the Debtors' claims resolution process, and only holders of claims that are ultimately allowed for purposes of the Chapter 11 case will be entitled to distributions. Solutia has not yet completed its analysis of all the proofs of claim. Since the settlement terms of allowed claims are subject to a confirmed plan of reorganization, the ultimate distribution with respect to allowed claims is not presently ascertainable. On February 14, 2006, the Debtors filed with the Bankruptcy Court their Joint Plan of Reorganization (the "Plan") and Disclosure Statement (the "Disclosure Statement"). The Plan and Disclosure Statement along with the Relationship Agreement (as defined below) and Retiree Settlement Agreement, entered into among Solutia, the official committee of unsecured creditors and official committee of retirees appointed in the Chapter 11 Cases, Monsanto, certain retirees and the other parties thereto (the "Retiree Settlement"), set forth the terms of a global settlement (the "Global Settlement") between Solutia, the Official Committee of Unsecured Creditors in the Debtors' Chapter 11 Cases (the "Unsecured Creditors' Committee"), Monsanto Company ("Monsanto") and Pharmacia. The Global Settlement provides for, among other things, the reallocation of certain Legacy Liabilities among Solutia, Monsanto and Pharmacia and the treatment various constituencies in the Chapter 11 Cases will receive under the Plan. The Disclosure Statement contains a description of the events that led up to the Debtors' bankruptcy filings, the actions the Debtors' have taken to improve their financial situation while in bankruptcy and a current description of the Debtors' businesses. The reallocation of liabilities between Solutia and Monsanto is set forth in a Relationship Agreement (the "Relationship Agreement") to be entered into between Solutia and Monsanto upon confirmation of the Plan. The Relationship Agreement was filed with the Bankruptcy Court on February 14, 2006 as an exhibit to the Plan. The Plan, which incorporates the Relationship Agreement and Retiree Settlement, is subject to approval by the Bankruptcy Court and the approval of other constituencies in accordance with the Bankruptcy Code as well as various other conditions and contingencies, some of which are not within the control of Solutia, and therefore are subject to change and are not binding upon any party. The Disclosure Statement remains subject to change pending a hearing in the Bankruptcy Court to consider the legal 11 adequacy of the Disclosure Statement. Once the Disclosure Statement is approved by the Bankruptcy Court, it will be distributed to all constituencies entitled to vote on the Plan. Solutia cannot provide any assurance that any plan of reorganization ultimately confirmed by the Bankruptcy Court, or any disclosure statement ultimately approved by the Bankruptcy Court, will be consistent with the terms of the Plan and Disclosure Statement. A hearing to approve the Disclosure Statement is expected be held before the Honorable Prudence Carter Beatty, United States Bankruptcy Judge, in Room 701 of the Bankruptcy Court, Alexander Hamilton Custom House, One Bowling Green, New York, New York, 10004-1408, on May 1, 2006 at 11:00 a.m. (prevailing Eastern Time), or as soon thereafter as the Debtors may be heard. If confirmed, the Plan will provide Solutia with significant relief from the Legacy Liabilities it was required to assume in the Solutia Spinoff. These Legacy Liabilities included: (1) retiree medical, retiree life insurance and retiree disability benefits ("Retiree Welfare Benefits") for those individuals who retired or became disabled prior to the Solutia Spinoff ("Pre-Spin Retirees"); (2) environmental remediation costs related to activities of the chemicals business of Pharmacia that occurred prior to the Solutia Spinoff; and (3) toxic tort litigation costs relating to chemical exposure associated with the activities of Pharmacia that occurred prior to the Solutia Spinoff. Under the Plan, Solutia would emerge from bankruptcy as an independent publicly held company ("reorganized Solutia"). The Plan provides for $250 million of new investment in a reorganized Solutia. This new investment will be in the form of a rights offering to certain unsecured creditors, who will be given the opportunity to purchase 22.7 percent of the common stock in the reorganized company. Monsanto will backstop the rights offering, meaning it will commit to purchase up to the entire $250 million of stock, making up for any amount of the rights offering left unsubscribed by the unsecured creditors. Of this $250 million new investment, $175 million will be set aside in a Voluntary Employees' Beneficiary Association ("VEBA") Retiree Trust to fund the Retiree Welfare Benefits for those Pre-Spin Retirees who receive these benefits from Solutia, and $50 million will be used to fund Solutia's environmental remediation commitments in Anniston, Alabama and Sauget, Illinois, as described below. The remaining $25 million will be available for Solutia to pay any of the Legacy Liabilities that it is retaining. Under the Plan and Relationship Agreement, as between Monsanto and Solutia, Monsanto will be responsible for all current and future tort litigation costs arising from Pharmacia's chemical business prior to the Solutia Spinoff, including litigation arising from exposure to PCBs and other chemicals. In addition, Monsanto will accept financial responsibility for environmental remediation obligations at all sites for which Solutia was required to assume responsibility as part of the Solutia Spinoff but which were never owned or operated by Solutia. This includes more than 50 sites with active remediation projects and approximately 200 additional known sites and off-site disposal facilities, as well as sites that have not yet been identified. Finally, Monsanto will share financial responsibility with Solutia for off-site remediation costs in Anniston, Alabama and Sauget, Illinois. Under this cost-sharing mechanism, the first $50 million will be paid from the proceeds of the rights offering (as described above), Monsanto would pay the next $50 million (less amounts it has paid for remediation at these sites during the Chapter 11 Cases, which totaled over $30 million as of January 31, 2006), Solutia would be responsible for the next $325 million in costs, and any further costs would be shared equally between Solutia and Monsanto. Under certain circumstances, Solutia would be able to defer paying a portion of its shared responsibility with respect to the Anniston and Sauget sites in excess of $30 million in any calendar year, up to $25 million in the aggregate. Any deferred amounts would be paid by Monsanto, but subject to repayment by Solutia at a later date. The Plan and Relationship Agreement provide that Solutia will continue to pay its annual installment and education fund obligations relating to the August 2003 Anniston polychlorinated 12 biphenyls ("PCBs") settlement and education fund obligations relating to the Anniston Partial Consent Decree. The Plan incorporates the terms of the Retiree Settlement Agreement, which was negotiated with the Official Retirees Committee, which represents more than 23,000 former employees of Pharmacia and Solutia and their dependents. Although the Retiree Settlement Agreement includes benefit modifications, the Plan, through the $175 million from the rights offering that will be set aside into the VEBA Trust, provides significant current funding which will greatly improve Solutia's ability to meet these benefit obligations going forward. Under the Retiree Settlement Agreement, retirees will retain their company-provided medical benefits, although the cost to retirees for such benefits will increase. Most retirees will retain their company-provided life insurance benefits, although some will experience a modification in the benefit provided. The settlement also maintains Solutia's rights according to a separate 2001 settlement and a post-settlement retiree medical plan, under which Solutia intends to make certain changes effective January 1, 2007, including the elimination of company-provided medical benefits for certain groups of retirees that also are eligible for Medicare coverage. In consideration of the benefit modifications being accepted by retirees pursuant to the Retiree Settlement Agreement, the Plan contemplates that the retirees will receive an unsecured claim for $35 million in Solutia's bankruptcy case. The common stock in the reorganized Solutia received on account of this claim would be deposited in the VEBA Trust and used to pay Retiree Welfare Benefits. This would be in addition to the $175 million contributed to the VEBA Trust from the proceeds of the rights offering. The VEBA Trust would be a bankruptcy-remote entity and would be managed by an independent trustee. The Plan does not provide for distributions to the holders of Solutia's existing equity. Solutia's existing shares of common stock, as well as options and warrants to purchase its common stock, would be cancelled and holders of Solutia's common stock, including options and warrants to purchase Solutia's common stock, would receive no consideration for that stock or those options and warrants. Although the Plan does not provide for any distributions to holders of Solutia's existing equity, the Official Committee of Equity Security Holders in Solutia's bankruptcy case has filed a complaint against Pharmacia and Monsanto, and an objection to the proofs of claim filed by Monsanto and Pharmacia in Solutia's bankruptcy, arguing that holders of Solutia's existing equity are entitled to some form of distribution. In order to exit Chapter 11 successfully, Solutia must propose and obtain confirmation by the bankruptcy court of a plan of reorganization that satisfies the requirements of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code. As provided by the U.S. Bankruptcy Code, Solutia had the exclusive right to propose a plan of reorganization for 120 days following the Chapter 11 filing date. The bankruptcy court has subsequently approved several extensions of the exclusivity period, the most recent of which is set to expire on April 10, 2006. Although Solutia expects to receive further extensions of the exclusivity period, no assurance can be given that any such future extension requests will be granted by the bankruptcy court. Moreover, although Solutia has filed the Plan which provides for Solutia's emergence from bankruptcy as a going concern, there can be no assurance that the Plan, or any other plan of reorganization, will be confirmed by the bankruptcy court or that any such plan will be implemented successfully. Basis of Consolidation The consolidated financial statements of the Solutia Group include the accounts of Solutia Inc. and its majority-owned U.S. and non-U.S. subsidiaries. The non-U.S. subsidiaries did not commence Chapter 11 cases. The consolidated financial statements of the Solutia Chapter 11 Debtors include the accounts of Solutia Inc. and its majority-owned U.S. subsidiaries, with investments in non-U.S. subsidiaries accounted for on the cost basis. In each case, all significant intercompany transactions and 13 balances have been eliminated in consolidation. Companies in which Solutia has a significant interest but not a controlling interest are accounted for under the equity method of accounting and included in investments in subsidiaries and affiliates in the statement of consolidated financial position. Solutia's proportionate share of these companies' net earnings or losses is reflected in equity earnings (loss) from affiliates in the consolidated statement of operations. In accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board Interpretation No. 46, Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities, variable interest entities in which Solutia is the primary beneficiary are consolidated within the consolidated financial statements. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America have been condensed or omitted for purposes of this Operating Report. The consolidated statement of operations for any interim period is not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for a quarter, full year, or any future interim period. Liquidity At February 28, 2006, total liquidity for the Solutia Group was approximately $172 million, consisting of $98 million of cash and DIP facility availability of $74 million. At February 28, 2006, total liquidity for the Solutia Chapter 11 Debtors was approximately $102 million, consisting of $28 million of cash and DIP facility availability of $74 million. 2.
