BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARDS:	Sep. 30, 2013
BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARDS:	'
BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARDS:	'
	1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARDS:

	Basis of Presentation— Rockwood Holdings, Inc., which may be referred to as “Rockwood” or the “Company” prepared these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements following the requirements of the Securities and Exchange Commission and accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) for interim reporting. Under those rules, certain footnotes and other financial information that are normally required for annual financial statements can be condensed or omitted. The Company is responsible for the condensed consolidated financial statements included in this Form 10-Q. These condensed consolidated financial statements include all normal and recurring adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position as of September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, the results of operations and comprehensive income for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, and cash flows and equity for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated. Material subsequent events are evaluated through the report issuance date and disclosed where applicable. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and the related notes should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2012 included in the Annual Report on Form 10-K. Revenues, expenses, assets and liabilities can vary during each quarter of the year. Accordingly, the results and trends in these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements may not be indicative of the full year results.

	The preparation of financial statements and related disclosures in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and revenue and expenses during the periods reported. These estimates include, among other things, assessing the collectability of accounts receivable, the use and recoverability of inventory, the valuation of deferred tax assets, the measurement of the accrual for uncertain tax benefits, impairment of goodwill as well as property, plant and equipment and other intangible assets, the accrual of environmental and legal reserves and the useful lives of tangible and intangible assets, among others. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Such estimates also include the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed allocated to the purchase price of business combinations consummated.

	During 2013, the Company sold its Advanced Ceramics segment and Clay-based Additives business, and entered into a definitive agreement to sell its Titanium Dioxide Pigments, Color Pigments and Services, Timber Treatment Chemicals, Rubber/Thermoplastics Compounding and Water Chemistry businesses (“TiO2 Pigments and Other”). As of September 30, 2013, all of these transactions met the criteria for being reported as discontinued operations. As a result, the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements have been reclassified to reflect discontinued operations for these transactions for all periods presented. See Note 2, “Discontinued Operations,” for further details of these transactions.

	Noncontrolling interest represents the total of the noncontrolling party’s interest in certain investments (principally the former Titanium Dioxide Pigments venture and the Timber Treatment joint venture in the Performance Additives segment) that are consolidated but less than 100% owned. On February 15, 2013, the Company acquired Kemira’s 39% interest in its former Titanium Dioxide Pigments venture for a purchase price of €97.5 million ($130.3 million based on the rate in effect on the date of purchase).

	Unless otherwise noted, all balance sheet-related items which are denominated in Euros are translated at the September 30, 2013 exchange rate of €1.00 =1.35. For the three months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012 and the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, the average rate of exchange of the Euro to the U.S. dollar is $1.33 and $1.25, respectively, and $1.32 and $1.28, respectively.

	Recently Issued Accounting Standards:

	In February 2013, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued an Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) that addressed the reporting of amounts reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income, as well as changes within accumulated other comprehensive income. The amendments in this ASU do not change the current requirements for reporting net income or other comprehensive income, but will require companies to present the effects of the line items of net income of significant amounts reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income. This ASU was effective for the Company beginning with its Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended March 31, 2013. The required disclosures from this ASU are included in Note 15, “Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income.”

	In February 2013, the FASB issued an ASU that addressed obligations resulting from joint and several liability arrangements for which the total amount of the obligation is fixed at the reporting date. This ASU provides guidance for the recognition, measurement, and disclosure of obligations resulting from joint and several liability arrangements for which the total amount of the obligation within the scope of this ASU is fixed at the reporting date, except for obligations addressed within existing guidance in U.S. GAAP. The guidance requires an entity to measure those obligations as the sum of the amount the reporting entity agreed to pay on the basis of its arrangement among its co-obligors and any additional amount the reporting entity expects to pay on behalf of its co-obligors. The guidance in this ASU also requires an entity to disclose the nature and amount of the obligation as well as other information about those obligations. This ASU is effective for the Company in its first quarter beginning January 1, 2014 and is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements.

	In March 2013, the FASB issued an ASU that addressed the release of the cumulative translation adjustment (CTA) into net income when a parent either sells a part or all of its investment in a foreign entity or no longer holds a controlling financial interest in a subsidiary or group of assets that is a business. This ASU requires a parent to release any related CTA into net income only if the sale results in the complete or substantially complete liquidation of the foreign entity. This practice is consistent with the Company’s previous accounting policy and will not have an impact on the Company’s financial statements. This ASU is effective for the Company in its first quarter beginning January 1, 2014.

	In July 2013, the FASB issued an ASU that eliminates diversity in practice for presentation of an unrecognized tax benefit when a net operating loss (NOL) carryforward, a similar tax loss, or a tax credit carryfoward is available to reduce the taxable income or tax payable that would result from disallowance of a tax position. Under this ASU, an entity must present an unrecognized tax benefit, or a portion of an unrecognized tax benefit, in the financial statements as a reduction to a deferred tax asset for an NOL carryforward, a similar tax loss, or a tax credit carryfoward except when: an NOL carryforward, a similar tax loss, or a tax credit carryfoward is not available as of the reporting date under the governing tax law to settle taxes that would result from the disallowance of the tax position; and the entity does not intend to use the deferred tax asset for this purpose. This ASU is effective for the Company in its first quarter beginning January 1, 2014 and is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements.

	2. DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS:

	On June 14, 2013, the Company entered into a definitive agreement to sell its Advanced Ceramics segment, and completed this transaction on August 31, 2013 for cash proceeds of $2.0 billion. On July 26, 2013, the Company entered into a definitive agreement to sell its Clay-based Additives business, which was part of the Performance Additives segment, and completed this transaction on October 1, 2013 for cash proceeds of $626.6 million. On September 17, 2013, the Company entered into a definitive agreement to sell its TiO2 Pigments and Other businesses for $1.325 billion, including $225 million in pension obligations, and subject to other customary adjustments. This transaction is expected to close during the first half of 2014, following the receipt of regulatory approvals. As of September 30, 2013, all of these transactions met the criteria for being reported as discontinued operations. The Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements have been reclassified to reflect discontinued operations for these transactions for all periods presented.

	In the third quarter of 2013, the Company recorded a pre-tax charge of $75.2 million related to an expected loss on sale of the TiO2 Pigments and Other businesses. The expected loss on sale represents the difference between the carrying value of these businesses and the expected proceeds. This carrying value includes the assumed recognition of actuarial (pension-related) losses and unrealized foreign exchange losses currently recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income within stockholders’ equity, which must be recognized upon completion of the sale.

	Results of the discontinued operations of the Advanced Ceramics segment, the Clay-based Additives business and the TiO2 Pigments and Other businesses included in the condensed consolidated statements of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012 are as follows:

SEGMENT INFORMATION:	'
SEGMENT INFORMATION:	'
	3. SEGMENT INFORMATION:

	In the Company’s 2012 Annual Report on Form 10-K, the Company operated in five reportable segments. As discussed in Note 2, “Discontinued Operations,” the Company sold its Advanced Ceramics segment and Clay-based Additives business, and entered into a definitive agreement to sell its TiO2 Pigments and Other businesses. As a result, the Company operates in two reportable segments according to the nature and economic characteristics of its products and services as well as the manner in which the information is used internally by the Company’s chief operating decision maker, who is the Company’s Chief Executive Officer. The two segments are: (1) Lithium and (2) Surface Treatment.

	Items that cannot be readily attributed to individual segments have been classified as “Corporate and other.” Corporate and other operating loss primarily represents payroll, professional fees and other operating expenses of centralized functions such as treasury, tax, legal, internal audit and consolidation accounting as well as the cost of operating the Company’s central offices (including some costs maintained based on legal or tax considerations). The Corporate and other classification also includes the results of operations of the metal sulfides and wafer reclaim businesses.

	Summarized financial information for each of the reportable segments is provided in the following tables:

			Three months ended						Nine months ended
			September 30,						September 30,

	Total (a)		$	345.8		$	320.9		$	1,030.80		$	1,001.80

	(a) This amount does not include $544.3 million and $541.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively, and $1,766.2 million and $1,676.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively, of net sales from discontinued operations.

	The Company uses Adjusted EBITDA on a segment basis to assess the ongoing performance of the Company’s business segments and reporting units. Because the Company views Adjusted EBITDA on a segment basis as an operating performance measure, the Company uses income (loss) before taxes as the most comparable U.S. GAAP measure. The summary of segment information below includes “Adjusted EBITDA,” a non-GAAP financial measure used by the Company’s chief operating decision maker and senior management to evaluate the operating performance of each segment. See Note 3, “Segment Information,” in the Company’s 2012 Annual Report on Form 10-K for a discussion of the use of Adjusted EBITDA as a non-GAAP financial measure.

	(b) Amounts included in “Eliminations” represent individual subsidiaries’ retained interest in their cumulative net cash balance (deposits less withdrawals) included in the corporate cash concentration arrangements. These amounts are eliminated as the cash concentration arrangement balances are included in the Corporate and other segment’s identifiable assets.

	(c) Amounts do not include $1,683.0 million and $2,592.6 million of identifiable assets at September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively, from discontinued operations. Total identifiable assets including these amounts were $5,018.3 million and $6,012.5 million as of September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively.

	Geographic information regarding net sales based on seller’s location and long-lived assets are described in Note 3, “Segment Information,” in the Company’s 2012 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

	4. VARIABLE INTEREST ENTITIES:

	As discussed in Note 2, “Discontinued Operations,” the Company entered into a definitive agreement on September 17, 2013 to sell its TiO2 Pigments and Other businesses, which include Titanium Dioxide Pigments and the Timber Treatment Chemicals business. This transaction is expected to close during the first half of 2014, following the receipt of regulatory approvals.

	Titanium Dioxide Pigments

	The Company formed a Titanium Dioxide Pigments venture with Kemira Oyj (“Kemira”) in September 2008. The Company previously owned 61% of the venture and consolidated it based on the “voting interest” model given its majority ownership and ability to control decision making. On February 15, 2013, the Company acquired Kemira’s 39% interest in the Titanium Dioxide Pigments venture for a purchase price of €97.5 million ($130.3 million based on the rate in effect on the date of purchase). The increase in ownership was accounted for as an equity transaction. As a result, the Company owns 100% of the Titanium Dioxide Pigments business. In conjunction with this venture, there is a power plant that was previously determined to be a variable interest entity (“VIE”). Subsequent to the purchase of Kemira’s 39% interest, the power plant will continue to be a VIE.

	Viance LLC

	The Company also had a variable interest entity in its Viance LLC joint venture, which was part of the Timber Treatment Chemicals business. The carrying values of the assets and liabilities of the Viance joint venture included in assets of discontinued operations and liabilities of discontinued operations in the condensed consolidated balance sheets are as follows:

		September 30,		December 31,
	($ in millions)	2013		2012
	Total assets (a)	$	71.1	$	73.7

	Total liabilities	$	3.1	$	5.3

	(a) The majority of these assets are other intangible assets.

	Other

	As of September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, Rockwood’s aggregate net investment in ventures from continuing operations, particularly in the Surface Treatment segment, that are considered variable interest entities but are not consolidated as Rockwood is not the primary beneficiary, were $31.9 million and $25.6 million, respectively. These investments are classified as “Other assets” in the condensed consolidated balance sheets and represent Rockwood’s approximate exposure to losses on these investments. Rockwood does not guarantee debt for or have other financial support obligations to these ventures.

	See Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data - Note 4, “Variable Interest Entities,” in the Company’s 2012 Annual Report for further details.

FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS AND FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS:	Sep. 30, 2013
FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS AND FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS:	'
FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS AND FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS:	'
	5. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS AND FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS:

	Financial instruments include cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable, debt instruments and derivatives. Due to their short term maturity, the carrying amount of receivables and payables approximates fair value. Cash equivalents primarily consist of highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less at the time of purchase and are recorded at cost, which approximates fair value. The Company has exposure to market risk from changes in interest rates and foreign currency exchange rates. As a result, certain derivative financial instruments may be used when available on a cost-effective basis to hedge the underlying economic exposure. Certain of these instruments qualify as cash flow and net investment hedges upon meeting the requisite criteria, including effectiveness of offsetting hedged exposures. Changes in the fair value of derivatives that do not qualify for hedge accounting are recognized in earnings as they occur. Derivative financial instruments are not used for trading purposes.

	Qualifying Hedges

	Cash Flow Hedges

	Foreign currency forward contracts are utilized to hedge forecasted transactions for certain foreign currencies in the Company’s Surface Treatment segment. These contracts have been designated as foreign currency cash flow hedges and expire in December 2013. The effective portion of changes in fair value for the designated foreign currency hedges is temporarily reported in accumulated other comprehensive income and recognized in earnings when the hedged item affects earnings. The net deferred losses on foreign currency contracts for cash flow accounting are expected to be reclassified into earnings by the end of December 2013.

	Effectiveness is assessed at inception of the hedge and on a quarterly basis. These assessments determine whether derivatives designated as qualifying hedges continue to be highly effective in offsetting changes in the cash flows of hedged items. Any ineffective portion of a change in fair value is included in current period earnings. There was no impact of ineffectiveness on earnings during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012.

	For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013, gains of $0.1 million were reclassified for both periods from accumulated other comprehensive income into income. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012, losses of $0.2 million and $0.3 million, respectively, were reclassified from accumulated other comprehensive income into income.

	The following table provides the fair value and balance sheet location of the Company’s derivative instruments as of September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012:

				September 30, 2013						December 31, 2012
	($ in millions)	Balance Sheet Location		Notional			Fair Value			Notional			Fair Value
	Derivatives Designated as Hedging Instruments:
	Foreign exchange contracts	Prepaid expenses and other current assets		$	4.2		$	0.2		$	—		$	—
	Total derivatives designated as hedging instruments						$	0.2					$	—


	All financial instruments, including derivatives, are subject to counterparty credit risk which is considered as part of the overall fair value measurement. Counterparty credit risk is mitigated by entering into derivative contracts with only major financial institutions of investment grade quality and by limiting the amount of exposure to each financial institution. The Company has considered credit adjustments in its determination of the fair value of its derivative assets and liabilities as of September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, based on market participant assumptions. In addition, based on the credit evaluation of each counter-party institution as of September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, the Company believes the carrying values to be fully realizable. No counterparty has experienced a significant downgrade in 2013 and the condensed consolidated financial statements would not be materially impacted if any counterparties failed to perform according to the terms of its agreement. Under the terms of the agreements, posting of collateral is not required by any party whether derivatives are in an asset or liability position.

	The following table provides the gains and losses reported in “Other Comprehensive Income” (“OCI”) within Equity for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012:

		Amount of Gain or (Loss) Recognized in OCI on Derivatives
		and Other Financial Instruments (Effective Portion)

	Non-Derivative Debt Designated as Net Investment Hedge:
	Euro-denominated debt	$	—		$	—		$	—		$	(0.3	)

	The Company follows a fair value measurement hierarchy to measure assets and liabilities. As of September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, the assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis are derivatives, cash equivalents, marketable securities and government debt securities. In addition, the Company measures its pension plan assets at fair value (see Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data - Note 14, “Employee Benefit Plans” in the Company’s 2012 Annual Report on Form 10-K for further details). The Company’s financial assets and liabilities are measured using inputs from the three levels of the fair value hierarchy as follows:

	Level 1 — Inputs are unadjusted quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Company has the ability to access at the measurement date. The fair values of cash equivalents, marketable equity securities and government securities are based on unadjusted quoted market prices from various financial information service providers and securities exchanges.

	Level 2 — Inputs are directly or indirectly observable, which include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability and inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data by correlation or other means. The fair values of derivatives are based on quoted market prices from various banks for similar instruments. The valuation of these instruments reflects the contractual terms of the derivatives, including the period to maturity, and uses observable market-based inputs, including forward curves.

	Level 3 — Inputs are unobservable inputs that are used to measure fair value to the extent observable inputs are not available. The Company does not have any recurring financial assets or liabilities that are recorded on its condensed consolidated balance sheets as of September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012 that are classified as Level 3 inputs.

	In accordance with the fair value hierarchy, the following table provides the fair value of the Company’s recurring financial assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value in the condensed consolidated balance sheets as of September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012:

		As of September 30, 2013									As of December 31, 2012

	Total liabilities at fair value	$	—		$	—		$	—		$	4.8		$	—	$	4.8

	With regard to assets and liabilities required to be measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis, the Company wrote-off assets in the amount of $4.0 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2013 related to the termination of a geothermal energy project at the Silver Peak, NV lithium facility. These assets were written down to zero as it was determined there is no estimated recoverability as these assets will no longer be used. These write-downs are characterized as Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy and were recorded in “asset write-downs and other” in the condensed consolidated statements of operations.

	Debt

As of September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, the Company’s estimated fair value of its unsecured Senior Notes due in 2020 (“2020 Notes”) was $1,259.4 million and $1,300.8 million, respectively, based on quoted market values in active markets from financial service providers. The Company’s principal carrying amount of the 2020 Notes was $1,250.0 million at September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012. The Company categorizes these 2020 Notes as Level 1 in the fair value hierarchy.

The carrying value of the Company’s term loans under the senior secured credit facility that were paid in September 2013 approximated fair value as interest was based on prevailing variable market rates currently available. As a result, the Company categorized these term loans as level 2 in the fair value hierarchy as of December 31, 2012.

	The Company recorded an income tax benefit of $9.0 million on a loss from continuing operations of $0.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2013 and an income tax charge of $0.8 million on income from continuing operations of $41.4 million (effective tax rate of 1.9%) for the nine months ended September 30, 2013. The income tax benefit for the three month period is favorably impacted by the reversal of tax reserves and a beneficial foreign earnings mix. The effective tax rate for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 is lower than the U.S. statutory rate of 35% primarily due to the reversal of tax reserves and a beneficial foreign earnings mix.

	The effective tax rate on income from continuing operations was 32.1% and (121.0)% for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012, respectively. Excluding the impact of the $139.0 million valuation allowance reversal, the effective tax rate on income from continuing operations was 29.2% for the nine months ended September 30, 2012. The effective tax rate for each period is lower than the U.S. statutory rate of 35% primarily due to the favorable impact of certain current year domestic income that was not tax effected due to a valuation allowance reversal and a beneficial foreign earnings mix.

	The following table reflects the activity in the Company’s worldwide valuation allowance attributable to deferred tax assets:

		Valuation
	($ in millions)	Allowance
	Balance as of December 31, 2012	$	17.7
	U.S. valuation allowance - Federal (capital loss)	(2.1		)
	U.S. valuation allowance - State	1
	Foreign valuation allowance	0.1
	Balance as of September 30, 2013	$	16.7

	Unrecognized tax benefits at September 30, 2013 were $31.2 million, all of which, if recognized, would impact the effective tax rate. The Company had accrued $10.2 million for interest and penalties as of September 30, 2013. The Company recognizes interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits in its income tax provision.

	The Company is currently under audit in certain jurisdictions and during the next twelve months, it is reasonably possible that resolution of these audits could result in a benefit of up to $3.7 million.

	11. STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION:

	In December 2012, the Company awarded 309,287 of market-based restricted stock unit awards to its management and key employees which will vest on January 1, 2016 as long as the employee continues to be employed by the Company on this date and upon the achievement of certain performance targets approved by the Compensation Committee. In January 2013, the performance targets that formed the basis for vesting of these restricted stock units were set. As a result, the Company recognized compensation cost beginning in January 2013. A portion of the share units vest based on the percentage change in the price of the Company’s common stock over the award period January 1, 2013 to December 31, 2015. The remaining portion vest based upon the Company’s total shareholder return as compared to the total shareholder return for the Dow Jones U.S. Chemical Index for the period January 1, 2013 to December 31, 2015.

	All restricted stock units contain a provision in which the units shall immediately vest and become converted into the right to receive a cash payment after a change in control as defined in the award agreement. As the provisions for redemption are outside the control of the Company, the fair value of these units as of September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012 has been recorded as mezzanine equity (outside of permanent equity) in the condensed consolidated balance sheets.

	The aggregate compensation cost for restricted stock units and Board of Director stock grants recorded under the stock-based compensation plans caused income from continuing operations before taxes to decrease by $3.3 million and $2.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively, and $9.9 million and $8.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively. The total tax benefit recognized related to stock awards was $1.1 million and $0.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively, and $3.2 million and $1.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively.

	In the third quarter of 2013, the Company modified equity awards held by employees of the former Advanced Ceramics segment and recognized additional expense of $4.5 million, which is included in income from discontinued operations in the condensed consolidated statements of operations, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013.

	14. RESTRUCTURING AND OTHER SEVERANCE COSTS:

	The Company records restructuring liabilities that represent charges incurred in connection with consolidations and cessations of certain of its operations, including operations from acquisitions, as well as headcount reduction programs. These charges consist primarily of severance and facility/entity closure costs. Severance charges are based on various factors including the employee’s length of service, contract provisions, salary levels and local governmental legislation. At the time a related charge is recorded, the Company calculates its best estimate based upon detailed analysis. Although significant changes are not expected, actual costs may differ from these estimates.

	The following table provides the restructuring and other severance costs for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012:

	Total	$	4.6		$	3.7		$	13.2		$	17.9

	For the three months ended September 30, 2013, the restructuring charges primarily relate to environmental reserves recorded for facilities retained as part of the sale of the TiO2 Pigments and Other businesses, as well as closure costs related to the move of the Lithium headquarters to a new location.

	For the nine months ended September 30, 2013, the restructuring charges primarily relate to the closure of a lithium manufacturing facility in the U.S., environmental reserves recorded for facilities retained as part of the sale of the TiO2 Pigments and Other businesses, organizational changes in the Surface Treatment segment, as well as closure costs related to the move of the Lithium headquarters to a new location.

	All restructuring actions still in progress as of September 30, 2013 are expected to be substantially complete within the next twelve months. However, payouts of certain liabilities resulting from these actions will take place over several years. Selected information for outstanding liabilities from recent restructuring actions is as follows:

COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES:

16. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES:

Legal Proceedings—The Company is involved in various legal proceedings, including commercial, intellectual property, product liability, regulatory and environmental matters of a nature considered normal for its business. The Company accrues for amounts related to these matters if it is probable that a liability has been incurred, and an amount can be reasonably estimated. The Company discloses such matters when there is at least a reasonable possibility that a material loss may have been incurred. However, the Company cannot predict the outcome of any litigation or the potential for future litigation.

Former Glass Sealants Business

A subsidiary in the Surface Treatment segment formerly manufactured and distributed sealants for insulating glass, which was sold in 2003. This subsidiary has been named as a defendant in several lawsuits in Germany (District Court of Frankfurt and District Court of Rottweil) and the Netherlands (High Court of Hertogenbosch), which were initiated prior to and after the sale of the business, relating to allegedly defective manufacturing of those products. The court in the Dutch litigation concluded in March 2012 that our subsidiary breached certain implied product warranties and is responsible for certain alleged damages to be determined. The Company’s subsidiary has appealed this decision. In general, this subsidiary may be required to compensate damage claims asserted by the various plaintiffs in these actions. Although the Company expects its subsidiary to have coverage under its product liability insurance policies should damages ultimately be awarded or agreed to, in such an event, its insurance may not cover such damages and, if not, its subsidiary may not have sufficient cash flow to pay them. The Company estimates that the possible range of loss from those damage claims, net of expected insurance recoveries, is from €1.3 million ($1.8 million) to €4.3 million ($5.8 million) as of September 30, 2013. However, the Company does not believe that the resolution of these matters will have a material effect on its financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

Migratory Bird Matter

In August 2011, the U.S. Department of Justice Environment and Natural Resources Division (“DOJ”), along with the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (“FWS”) and the Nevada Department of Wildlife (“NDOW”) commenced an investigation relating to alleged migratory bird deaths at the Company’s subsidiary in Silver Peak, Nevada in violation of the Migratory Bird Treaty Act of 1918 (“MBTA”). The Company’s subsidiary is working with the DOJ, FWS and NDOW to address any migratory bird issues. On October 16, 2013, the Company’s subsidiary entered into a plea agreement, and the court entered a judgment for a one count class B misdemeanor for violations of the MBTA. Pursuant to such judgment, the Company’s subsidiary was sentenced to probation for a period of 18 months, paid a fine to the FWS of $15,000 and paid restitution to the North American Wetlands fund of $75,000.

Real Estate Transfer Tax Matter

In December 2009, the Company received a tax assessment from German tax authorities, claiming that the Company’s acquisition of Dynamit Nobel in 2004 triggered a real estate transfer tax obligation. The Company appealed the assessment to the German tax authorities on the grounds that it had already paid the relevant real estate transfer tax and that the further assessment would constitute duplicate taxation of the real estate transfers. However, in October 2011, the German tax authorities affirmed their position with regard to the assessment. Consequently, the Company appealed this assessment with the German Fiscal Court and intends to vigorously defend its position in this matter. The Company estimates that the possible range of loss from these claims as of September 30, 2013 is from €0.0 million to €5.2 million ($7.0 million). The Company does not expect this matter to have a material impact on its financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

Inspector General Subpoena

In February 2010, a subsidiary of the Company received a subpoena from the Inspector General of the Department of Defense (“DOD”) seeking information related to a product in the Timber Treatment Chemicals business in the Performance Additives segment. In June 2012, the United States government filed a notice of election indicating that it would not intervene at that time and the court ordered the complaint to be unsealed. The complaint was served on the Company in November 2012 by Osmose, Inc. (“Osmose”), a competitor of our Timber Treatment business, and alleges that our subsidiary misrepresented properties of certain fire retardants in relation to a military specification for such products. In March 2013, Osmose filed an amended complaint. In May 2013, the Company’s subsidiary filed a motion to dismiss the action. The Company cannot estimate the loss or possible range of loss, if any, in connection with this matter and intends to vigorously defend this matter.

Other Matters

Although the Company expects to continue to pay legal fees in connection with the above matters and other legal actions such as chromated copper arsenate and other product liability matters, based on currently available facts, the Company does not believe that any other individual action will have a material effect on its financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

Reserves in connection with known product liability matters, net of expected insurance recoveries, do not individually exceed $1.8 million and in the aggregate equal $2.7 million as of September 30, 2013. The Company’s reserve estimates are based on available facts, including damage claims and input from its internal and external legal counsel, past experience, and, in some instances where defense costs are being paid by its insurer, known or expected insurance recoveries. The Company is unable to estimate the amount or range of any potential incremental charges should facts and circumstances change and may in the future revise its estimates based on new information becoming available. Further, the Company cannot predict the outcome of any litigation or the potential for future litigation.

Indemnity Matters—The Company is indemnified by third parties in connection with certain matters related to acquired and divested businesses. The Company has no reason to believe that the financial condition of those parties who may have indemnification obligations to the Company is other than sound, except as regards to pension obligations disclosed below. However, in the event the Company seeks indemnity under any of these agreements or through other means, there can be no assurance that any party who may have obligations to indemnify the Company will adhere to their obligations and the Company may have to resort to legal action to enforce its rights under the indemnities. In cases where the Company’s indemnification claims to such third parties are uncontested, the Company expects to realize recoveries within the short term.

The Company may be subject to indemnity claims relating to properties or businesses it divested. For example, the Company has agreed to indemnify the buyer of its former plastic compounding and Clay-based Additives businesses for certain environmental matters which may arise in the future that relate to the period prior to the closing.

The Company’s pension liability includes defined benefit obligations to employees of a previously divested company which cannot legally be transferred to the owners under local law. The owner of the business had agreed to indemnify the Company for these obligations, however, such company has filed for bankruptcy. Accordingly, as of September 30, 2013, the Company has recorded a reserve of €4.9 million ($6.6 million) against its related receivable of €5.4 million ($7.3 million) due from the current owner. The Company cannot predict the ultimate outcome of this matter.

In the opinion of management, and based upon information currently available, the ultimate resolution of any indemnification obligations owed to the Company or by the Company is not expected to have a material effect on the Company’s financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

Environmental laws have a significant effect on the nature and scope of any clean-up of contamination at current and former operating facilities, the costs of transportation and storage of chemicals and finished products and the costs of the storage and disposal of wastes.

In addition, “Superfund” statutes in the United States as well as statutes in other jurisdictions impose strict, joint and several liability for clean-up costs on the entities that generated waste and/or arranged for its disposal at contaminated third party sites, as well as the past and present owners and operators of contaminated sites. All responsible parties may be required to bear some or all of the clean-up costs regardless of fault, legality of the original disposal or ownership of the disposal site.

The following table provides a list of the Company’s present and former facilities with environmental contamination or reclamation obligations for which the Company has reserved for at September 30, 2013:

(a) The Company is currently operating groundwater monitoring and/or remediation systems at these locations.

(b) The Company is currently operating groundwater monitoring and/or remediation systems at these locations for which prior owners or insurers have assumed all or most of the responsibility.

(c) The Company is currently conducting investigations into additional possible soil and/or groundwater contamination at these locations.

(d) The Company has land restoration obligations generally relating to landfill activities or surface mining at these locations.

(e) The Company is responsible for certain liabilities related to environmental matters at these formerly owned or closed facilities.

The Company is also responsible for environmental matters at some of its former off-site disposal locations owned by third parties. These sites are considered Superfund sites as defined by the EPA or state regulatory authority. The Company is a potentially responsible party or de minimis participant at a Superfund location in South Gate, CA. Although the Company cannot provide assurances in this regard, the Company does not believe that these issues will have a material effect on its financial condition, results of operations or cash flows. Nonetheless, the discovery of contamination arising from present or historical industrial operations at some of the Company’s or its predecessor’s former and present properties and/or at sites where the Company and its predecessor disposed wastes could expose the Company to cleanup obligations and other damages in the future.

In connection with the sale of Titanium Dioxide Pigments and Other business, the Company agreed to retain liability for certain environmental matters at several operating sites where the Company currently has environmental reserves, including Birtley, UK, Hainhausen, Germany, Shenzhen, China, Beltsville, Maryland, East St. Louis, Illinois, Easton, Pennsylvania and Valdosta, Georgia. Accordingly, the reserves for these sites are not included in discontinued operations and the reserves for other operating sites are included in discontinued operations (Duisburg, Uerdingen, and Schwarzheide, Germany, Kipsikorpi, Finland, Harrisburg, North Carolina and Turin, Italy). In addition, the Company agreed to indemnify the buyer for certain environmental matters at such other operating sites of the businesses for a limited period subject to certain limitations, caps and deductibles.

The Company has established financial reserves relating to anticipated environmental cleanup obligations, site reclamation and remediation and closure costs, which are reviewed at least quarterly based on currently available information. Liabilities are recorded when potential liabilities are either known or believed to be probable and can be reasonably estimated. In the event that the Company establishes a financial reserve in connection with site remediation costs, the Company records a reserve for the estimated cost of the remediation, even though the costs of the remediation will likely be spread out over many years. The Company does not include unasserted claims in its reserves.

The Company’s liability estimates are based upon available facts, existing technology, indemnities from or to third parties, past experience and, in some instances, insurance recoveries where the remediation costs are being paid by its insurers, and are generated by several means, including State-mandated schedules, environmental consultants and internal experts, depending on the circumstances. On a consolidated basis, the Company has accrued $40.9 million and $38.4 million for environmental liabilities as of September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively, most of which were classified as other non-current liabilities in the condensed consolidated balance sheets.

Included in the environmental liabilities are reclamation obligations of $15.1 million and $14.9 million as of September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively. These obligations primarily relate to post-closure reclamation in the surface mining and manufacturing sites within the Lithium segment.

The remaining environmental liabilities ($25.8 million and $23.5 million as of September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively) represent remediation obligations. The Company estimates that the potential range for such environmental matters (excluding reclamation obligations) as of September 30, 2013 is from $25.8 million to $50.3 million. Of these accruals, $13.9 million and $13.4 million as of September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively, represent liabilities discounted using discount rates ranging from 2.8% to 7.0%.

The Company’s remediation liabilities are payable over periods of up to 30 years. At a number of the sites described above, the extent of contamination has not yet been fully investigated or the final scope of remediation is not yet determinable and could potentially affect the range. For the nine months ended September 30, 2013, the Company recorded charges of $3.4 million to increase its environmental liabilities and made payments of $1.2 million for reclamation and remediation costs, which reduced its environmental liabilities. For the nine months ended September 30, 2013, the recurring cost of managing hazardous substances for ongoing operations is $7.1 million.

The Company believes these accruals are adequate based on currently available information. The Company may incur losses in excess of the amounts accrued; however, based on currently available information, it does not believe the additional amount of potential losses would have a material effect on its business or financial condition, but may have a material effect on the results of operations or cash flows in any given quarterly or annual reporting period. The Company does not believe that any known individual environmental matter would have a material effect on its financial condition, results of operations or cash flows. The Company is unable to estimate the amount or range of any potential incremental charges should facts and circumstances change and may in the future revise its estimates based on new information becoming available.

In the event that manufacturing operations are discontinued at any of the Company’s facilities with known contamination, regulatory authorities may impose more stringent requirements on the Company including soil remediation. The Company does not contemplate any such action occurring in the foreseeable future, as these facilities’ remaining lives are not known. Given the indeterminate useful life of these facilities and the corresponding indeterminate settlement date of any soil remediation obligations, the Company does not have sufficient information to estimate a range of potential settlement dates for its obligations. Consequently, the Company cannot employ a present value technique to estimate fair value and, accordingly, has not accrued for any environmental-related costs to remediate soil at these facilities.

GUARANTOR FINANCIAL STATEMENTS:	'
GUARANTOR FINANCIAL STATEMENTS:	'
	17. GUARANTOR FINANCIAL STATEMENTS:

	Rockwood Holdings Inc. (“Parent Company”) and certain of its 100% owned domestic subsidiaries (“Guarantor Subsidiaries”) jointly and severally, and fully and unconditionally guarantee the 2020 Notes in the aggregate principal amount of $1.25 billion issued in September 2012 by RSGI, an indirect 100% owned subsidiary of the Company. The following presents the consolidating financial information separately for:

	· Parent Company Guarantor — the Parent Company owns a 100% direct investment in Rockwood Specialties Consolidated, Inc. (“RSCI”). RSCI owns a 100% direct investment in Rockwood Specialties International, Inc. (“RSII”). RSII owns a 100% direct investment in RSGI. Each of these entities is a domestic holding company;
	· Issuer - RSGI, the issuer of the guaranteed obligations, owns direct or indirect investments in all other domestic and foreign subsidiaries;
	· Guarantor Subsidiaries — these represent substantially all of RSGI’s domestic subsidiaries on a combined basis. The “investment in subsidiary” and “equity in undistributed earnings of subsidiaries” represents all non-guarantor subsidiaries of such guarantors;
	· Non-Guarantor Subsidiaries — these include all of the Company’s foreign subsidiaries, two domestic subsidiaries and RSCI and RSII (because they are non-guarantors) on a combined basis. As a result, the “investment in subsidiary” and “equity in undistributed earnings of subsidiaries” presented in the Non-Guarantor Subsidiaries column includes all of the subsidiaries of RSCI;
	· Consolidating Adjustments — represent adjustments to (a) eliminate intercompany transactions between or among the Parent Company, RSGI, the Guarantor Subsidiaries and the Non-Guarantor subsidiaries, (b) eliminate the investments in subsidiaries (c) eliminate the cash overdrafts in intergroup payable, and (d) offset deferred income taxes within the same tax jurisdictions; and
	· Total Consolidated Amounts - Parent Company and its subsidiaries on a consolidated basis.

	Each entity in the consolidating financial information follows the same accounting policies as described in the condensed consolidated financial statements.

	The Parent Company Guarantor, Issuer, Guarantor Subsidiaries and Non-Guarantor Subsidiaries are parties to cash concentration arrangements with three financial institutions to maximize the availability of cash for general corporate and operating purposes. Cash balances under one of the cash concentration arrangements are swept daily from the accounts of the entities who are party to the arrangement into the concentration account. There are no restrictions under the cash concentration arrangements on the movement of cash between the Parent Company Guarantor, the Issuer, the Guarantor Subsidiaries and the Non-Guarantor Subsidiaries. There are no significant restrictions on the ability of RSGI or any Guarantor Subsidiaries to obtain funds by dividend or loan. However, there are restrictions contained in the indenture governing the 2020 Notes on the ability of the Parent Company to obtain funds from RSGI and its subsidiaries. See Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data - Note 10, “Long-Term Debt” in the Company’s 2012 Annual Report on Form 10-K for further details.

	The following tables present the Company’s consolidating statement of operations and comprehensive income for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, consolidating statements of cash flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively, and the Company’s consolidating balance sheets as of September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012:

	18. IMMATERIAL CORRECTIONS:

	During the financial closing period for the third quarter of 2013, after a formal investigation, the Company determined that management at a single location in Italy within the Color Pigments and Services business of its former Performance Additives segment (reported in discontinued operations effective September 2013 - see Note 2, “Discontinued Operations,” for further details) had falsified accounting records supporting certain asset, liability and income statement balances, beginning in 2007. Based on the investigation, the Company has identified amounts and concluded that they were not material individually or in the aggregate to any of its previously issued annual and interim financial statements, including the presentation of the Color Pigments and Services business as discontinued operations. Although management has determined the amounts individually and in the aggregate are not material to prior periods, in accordance with authoritative accounting literature on considering the effects of misstatements in prior years when quantifying misstatements in the current year, the financial statements included herein have been adjusted to correct for the impact of these items.

	The Company has corrected the relevant financial information from previous reporting periods contained in these financial statements, now classified within discontinued operations, as well as the “Non-Guarantor Subsidiaries” column in the Company’s guarantor financial information (See Note 17, “Guarantor Financial Statements”). The major adjustments to the relevant balances as originally reported in continuing operations would have been as follows:

	· Cost of products sold would have increased by $2.9 million and $5.5 million (including depreciation of $0.3 million and $0.9 million) for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2012, respectively (with gross profit correspondingly decreased). After tax effects, net income would have decreased $2.0 million ($0.03 per share) and $3.8 million ($0.05 per share) for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012, respectively.
	· Inventories would have decreased by $12.8 million as of December 31, 2012.
	· Accounts receivable, prepaid expenses and other current assets and other assets (non-current) would have decreased by $15.8 million as of December 31, 2012.
	· Property, plant and equipment, net and other intangible assets, net would have increased by $11.7 million as of December 31, 2012.
	· Accounts payable and other accrued liabilities would have increased by $17.6 million as of December 31, 2012.
	· Deferred income taxes and other liabilities would have decreased by $4.6 million as of December 31, 2012.

	The following tables set forth the impact of the corrections of immaterial errors in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012 and the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as of December 31, 2012 and the Statement of Cash Flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2012. As noted above, certain of the immaterial adjustments related to periods prior to fiscal 2012 and have been reflected as a decrease in retained earnings as of January 1, 2012 in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Statements of Changes in Stockholders’ Equity. The cumulative (after-tax) effect of those adjustments is $25.5 million.

BASIS_OF_PRESENTATION_AND_NEW_1

BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARDS: (Policies)	9 Months Ended
	Sep. 30, 2013
BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARDS:	'
Basis of Presentation	'
	Basis of Presentation— Rockwood Holdings, Inc., which may be referred to as “Rockwood” or the “Company” prepared these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements following the requirements of the Securities and Exchange Commission and accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) for interim reporting. Under those rules, certain footnotes and other financial information that are normally required for annual financial statements can be condensed or omitted. The Company is responsible for the condensed consolidated financial statements included in this Form 10-Q. These condensed consolidated financial statements include all normal and recurring adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position as of September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, the results of operations and comprehensive income for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, and cash flows and equity for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated. Material subsequent events are evaluated through the report issuance date and disclosed where applicable. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and the related notes should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2012 included in the Annual Report on Form 10-K. Revenues, expenses, assets and liabilities can vary during each quarter of the year. Accordingly, the results and trends in these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements may not be indicative of the full year results.

	The preparation of financial statements and related disclosures in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and revenue and expenses during the periods reported. These estimates include, among other things, assessing the collectability of accounts receivable, the use and recoverability of inventory, the valuation of deferred tax assets, the measurement of the accrual for uncertain tax benefits, impairment of goodwill as well as property, plant and equipment and other intangible assets, the accrual of environmental and legal reserves and the useful lives of tangible and intangible assets, among others. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Such estimates also include the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed allocated to the purchase price of business combinations consummated.

	During 2013, the Company sold its Advanced Ceramics segment and Clay-based Additives business, and entered into a definitive agreement to sell its Titanium Dioxide Pigments, Color Pigments and Services, Timber Treatment Chemicals, Rubber/Thermoplastics Compounding and Water Chemistry businesses (“TiO2 Pigments and Other”). As of September 30, 2013, all of these transactions met the criteria for being reported as discontinued operations. As a result, the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements have been reclassified to reflect discontinued operations for these transactions for all periods presented. See Note 2, “Discontinued Operations,” for further details of these transactions.

	Noncontrolling interest represents the total of the noncontrolling party’s interest in certain investments (principally the former Titanium Dioxide Pigments venture and the Timber Treatment joint venture in the Performance Additives segment) that are consolidated but less than 100% owned. On February 15, 2013, the Company acquired Kemira’s 39% interest in its former Titanium Dioxide Pigments venture for a purchase price of €97.5 million ($130.3 million based on the rate in effect on the date of purchase).

	Unless otherwise noted, all balance sheet-related items which are denominated in Euros are translated at the September 30, 2013 exchange rate of €1.00 =1.35. For the three months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012 and the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, the average rate of exchange of the Euro to the U.S. dollar is $1.33 and $1.25, respectively, and $1.32 and $1.28, respectively.

Recently Issued Accounting Standards	'
	Recently Issued Accounting Standards:

	In February 2013, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued an Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) that addressed the reporting of amounts reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income, as well as changes within accumulated other comprehensive income. The amendments in this ASU do not change the current requirements for reporting net income or other comprehensive income, but will require companies to present the effects of the line items of net income of significant amounts reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income. This ASU was effective for the Company beginning with its Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended March 31, 2013. The required disclosures from this ASU are included in Note 15, “Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income.”

	In February 2013, the FASB issued an ASU that addressed obligations resulting from joint and several liability arrangements for which the total amount of the obligation is fixed at the reporting date. This ASU provides guidance for the recognition, measurement, and disclosure of obligations resulting from joint and several liability arrangements for which the total amount of the obligation within the scope of this ASU is fixed at the reporting date, except for obligations addressed within existing guidance in U.S. GAAP. The guidance requires an entity to measure those obligations as the sum of the amount the reporting entity agreed to pay on the basis of its arrangement among its co-obligors and any additional amount the reporting entity expects to pay on behalf of its co-obligors. The guidance in this ASU also requires an entity to disclose the nature and amount of the obligation as well as other information about those obligations. This ASU is effective for the Company in its first quarter beginning January 1, 2014 and is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements.

	In March 2013, the FASB issued an ASU that addressed the release of the cumulative translation adjustment (CTA) into net income when a parent either sells a part or all of its investment in a foreign entity or no longer holds a controlling financial interest in a subsidiary or group of assets that is a business. This ASU requires a parent to release any related CTA into net income only if the sale results in the complete or substantially complete liquidation of the foreign entity. This practice is consistent with the Company’s previous accounting policy and will not have an impact on the Company’s financial statements. This ASU is effective for the Company in its first quarter beginning January 1, 2014.

	In July 2013, the FASB issued an ASU that eliminates diversity in practice for presentation of an unrecognized tax benefit when a net operating loss (NOL) carryforward, a similar tax loss, or a tax credit carryfoward is available to reduce the taxable income or tax payable that would result from disallowance of a tax position. Under this ASU, an entity must present an unrecognized tax benefit, or a portion of an unrecognized tax benefit, in the financial statements as a reduction to a deferred tax asset for an NOL carryforward, a similar tax loss, or a tax credit carryfoward except when: an NOL carryforward, a similar tax loss, or a tax credit carryfoward is not available as of the reporting date under the governing tax law to settle taxes that would result from the disallowance of the tax position; and the entity does not intend to use the deferred tax asset for this purpose. This ASU is effective for the Company in its first quarter beginning January 1, 2014 and is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements.
