TABLE OF CONTENTS

EX-99.1 WELLMAN, INC.S UNAUDITED MONTHLY OPERATING STATEMENTS FOR THE MONTH ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2008

Item 2.02. -Results of Operations and Financial Condition.

     The information set forth in Item 7.01 below is incorporated by reference in this Item 2.02 as if fully set forth herein.

Item 7.01. Regulation FD Disclosure.

     Wellman, Inc. (the “Company”) and certain of its subsidiaries (collectively, the “Debtors”) file its unaudited consolidated Monthly Operating Statements for the month ended September 30, 2008 (the “Monthly Operating Statements”), with the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of New York (the “U.S. Bankruptcy Court”) in the matter of In re Wellman, Inc., et al., Case No. 08-10595 (SMB). Exhibits 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K contain the unaudited consolidated Monthly Operating Statements as filed with the United States Bankruptcy Court.

     The Monthly Operating Statements are limited in scope, cover a limited time period, and have been prepared solely for the purpose of complying with the monthly reporting requirements of the U.S. Bankruptcy Court. The financial information in the Monthly Operating Statements is in a format required by the U.S. Bankruptcy Court and the Company’s Debtor-in-Possession credit agreement, is preliminary and unaudited and does not purport to show the financial statements of any of the Debtors in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). Therefore, the Monthly Operating Statements may exclude items required by GAAP, such as certain reclassifications, eliminations, accruals, valuations and disclosure items. The Company cautions readers not to place undue reliance upon the Monthly Operating Statements. There can be no assurance that such information is complete and the Monthly Operating Statements may be subject to revision. The Monthly Operating Statements should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2007.

     These Monthly Operating Statements have been derived from the books and records of the Company. They, however, have not been subjected to procedures that would typically be applied to financial information presented in accordance with GAAP and, upon the application of such procedures, the Company believes that they could be subject to changes, and these changes could be material. The information furnished in the Monthly Operating Statements includes certain normal recurring adjustments but may not include all of the adjustments that would typically be made for quarterly financial statements in accordance with GAAP. In addition, certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted.

Limitation on Incorporation by Reference

     The Monthly Operating Statements are being furnished for information purposes only and are not deemed “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, (the “Exchange Act”) or otherwise subject to the liabilities of that section and shall not be deemed incorporated by reference in any filing under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”). Registration statements or other documents filed with the SEC shall not incorporate the Monthly Operating Statements or any other information set forth in this Report by reference, except as otherwise expressly stated in such filing. This Report will not be deemed an admission to the materiality of any information that is required to be disclosed solely by Regulation FD.

Such statements include, among others, those concerning the Company’s expected financial performance, as well as all assumptions, expectations, predictions, intentions or beliefs about future events. These Statements are made as of the date of this Report based upon current expectations, and we undertake no obligation to update this information, whether as a result of new information, future developments or otherwise.
