The Company	'
	1. The Company
	Tronox Limited, a public limited company registered under the laws of the State of Western Australia, Australia, and its subsidiaries (collectively referred to as “Tronox” or the “Company”) is a global leader in the production and marketing of high grade titanium feedstock and titanium dioxide pigment (“TiO2”). The Company’s world-class, high performance TiO2 products are critical components of everyday applications such as paint and other coatings, plastics, paper and other applications. The Company’s mineral sands business consists primarily of three product streams—titanium feedstock, zircon and pig iron. Titanium feedstock is primarily used to manufacture TiO2. Zircon, a hard, glossy mineral, is used for the manufacture of ceramics, refractories, TV screen glass and a range of other industrial and chemical products. Pig iron is a metal material used in the steel and metal casting industries to create wrought iron, cast iron and steel. Tronox operates three TiO2 pigment production facilities at the following locations: Hamilton, Mississippi; Botlek, The Netherlands; and Kwinana, Western Australia, and operates three separate mining and beneficiation operations: KwaZulu-Natal (“KZN”) Sands and Namakwa Sands located in South Africa, and Cooljarloo Sands located in Western Australia.
	Tronox Limited was formed on September 21, 2011 for the purpose of the Transaction (as defined below). Prior to the completion of the Transaction, Tronox Limited was wholly-owned by Tronox Incorporated, and had no operating assets or operations. On September 25, 2011, Tronox Incorporated, a Delaware corporation formed on May 17, 2005 (“Tronox Incorporated”), entered into a definitive agreement (as amended, the “Transaction Agreement”) with Exxaro Resources Limited (“Exxaro”) and certain of its affiliated companies, to acquire 74% of Exxaro’s mineral sands operations, along with its 50% share of the Tiwest Joint Venture (the “Transaction”). On June 15, 2012, the date of the Transaction (the “Transaction Date”), the existing business of Tronox Incorporated was combined with the mineral sands business in an integrated series of transactions whereby Tronox Limited became the parent company.

Basis of Presentation	'
	2. Basis of Presentation
	The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements are unaudited, and have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) regarding interim financial reporting. Accordingly, they do not include all the information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) for complete financial statements, and should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012. The December 31, 2012 balance sheet was derived from audited financial statements, but does not include all disclosures required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements.
	The unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets as of September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012 relate to Tronox Limited. The unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations and cash flows for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013 and three months ended September 30, 2012 reflect the consolidated operating results of Tronox Limited. The unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations and cash flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2012, reflect the consolidated operating results of Tronox Incorporated prior to June 15, 2012, and, from June 15, 2012 through September 30, 2012, reflect the consolidated operating results of Tronox Limited.
	The Company accounted for the Transaction under Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 805, Business Combinations (“ASC 805”). Under the acquisition method of accounting, each tangible and separately identifiable intangible asset acquired and liability assumed was recorded based on its preliminary estimated fair value on the Transaction Date. The excess of the fair value of the net assets acquired over the value of consideration was recorded as an initial bargain purchase gain. Subsequent to the Transaction, the Company made adjustments to its initial valuation. Such adjustments were recorded on the Transaction Date, which has resulted in revised unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012. The measurement period ended in June 2013.
	Prior to the Transaction Date, Tronox Incorporated operated the Tiwest Joint Venture with Exxaro Australia Sands Pty Ltd. Tronox Incorporated accounted for its share of the Tiwest Joint Venture’s assets that were jointly controlled and its share of liabilities for which it was jointly responsible on a proportionate gross basis in its unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet. Additionally, Tronox Incorporated accounted for the revenues generated from its share of the products sold and its share of the expenses of the joint venture on a gross basis in its unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. As of the Transaction Date, the Company owns 100% of the Tiwest Joint Venture operations. As such, the unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets at September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012 include 100% of the Tiwest operations assets and liabilities. The unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013 and three months ended September 30, 2012 reflect 100% of the revenue and expenses of the Tiwest operations, while the unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 reflects Tronox Incorporated’s revenues generated from its share of the products sold and its share of the expenses of the joint venture on a gross basis prior to June 15, 2012, and, from June 15, 2012 through September 30, 2012 reflect 100% of the revenues and expenses of the Tiwest operations.
	In management’s opinion, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, considered necessary for a fair presentation. The preparation of financial statements 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 the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. It is at least reasonably possible that the effect on the financial statements of a change in estimate within one year of the date of the financial statements due to one or more future confirming events could have a material effect on the financial statements. The consolidated results of operations for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results for the entire year.
	Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the manner and presentation in the current period. Such reclassifications did not have an impact on the Company’s net income or consolidated results of operations.

	3. Recent Accounting Pronouncements
	In March 2013, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the “FASB”) issued accounting standards update (“ASU”) 2013-5, Parent’s Accounting for the Cumulative Translation Adjustment upon Derecognition of Certain Subsidiaries or Groups of Assets within a Foreign Entity or of an Investment in a Foreign Entity (“ASU 2013-5”), which addresses the treatment of the cumulative translation adjustment 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 within a foreign entity. ASU 2013-5 is effective prospectively for periods beginning after December 15, 2013; however early adoption is permitted. The adoption of this guidance is not anticipated to have a significant impact on the consolidated financial statements.
	During 2013, the Company adopted ASU 2013-2, Reporting of Amounts Reclassified Out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income, which requires the presentation of the effects on the line items of net income of significant amounts reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income, if the item is required under U.S. GAAP to be reclassified to net income in its entirety in the same reporting period. The adoption of this guidance did not have a significant impact on the consolidated financial statements.
	During 2013, the Company adopted ASU 2013-01, Clarifying the Scope of Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities, to clarify previously issued guidance related to derivatives that are either offset or subject to an enforceable master netting arrangement or similar agreement. The adoption of this guidance did not have a significant impact on the consolidated financial statements.

	4. Acquisition of the Mineral Sands Business
	On September 25, 2011, Tronox Incorporated entered into the Transaction Agreement with Exxaro to acquire 74% of its South African mineral sands operations, including its Namakwa Sands and KZN Sands mines, separation facilities and slag furnaces, along with its 50% share of the Tiwest Joint Venture. On the Transaction Date, the existing business of Tronox Incorporated was combined with the mineral sands business under Tronox Limited. The Transaction was completed in two principal steps. First, Tronox Incorporated became a subsidiary of Tronox Limited, with Tronox Incorporated shareholders receiving one Class A ordinary share (“Class A Share”) and $12.50 in cash (“Merger Consideration”) for each Tronox Incorporated common share. Second, Tronox Limited issued 9,950,856 Class B ordinary shares (“Class B Shares”) to Exxaro and one of its subsidiaries in consideration for the mineral sands business.
	Under the terms of the Transaction Agreement, Exxaro agreed that for a three-year period after the completion of the Transaction, it would not engage in any transaction or other action, that would result in its beneficial ownership of the voting shares of Tronox Limited to exceed 45% of the total issued shares of Tronox Limited. In addition, the agreement prohibits Exxaro from selling any shares in the same three-year period. At September 30, 2013, Exxaro held approximately 44.4% of the voting securities of Tronox Limited.
	In connection with the Transaction, Exxaro and its subsidiaries retained a 26% ownership interest in each of Tronox KZN Sands Pty Ltd and Tronox Mineral Sands Pty Ltd in order to comply with the ownership requirements of the Black Economic Empowerment legislation in South Africa. Exxaro is entitled to exchange this interest for approximately 3.2% in additional Class B Shares under certain circumstances (i.e., the earlier of the termination of the Empowerment Period or the tenth anniversary of completion of the Transaction). The Company accounts for such ownership as “Noncontrolling Interest” on the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.

	UBS Revolver
	On June 18, 2012, in connection with the closing of the Transaction, the Company entered into a global senior secured asset-based syndicated revolving credit agreement with UBS AG (the “UBS Revolver”). The UBS Revolver provides the Company with a committed source of capital with a principal borrowing amount of up to $300 million, subject to a borrowing base. In connection with its entry into the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement on March 19, 2013, the Company amended the UBS Revolver to allow for the increased size of the Term Loan over the Term Facility (see “Term Facility” and “Term Loan” below). At September 30, 2013, the Company had no amounts drawn on the UBS Revolver, and its available borrowing base was $267 million.
	ABSA Revolving Credit Facility
	In connection with the Transaction, the Company entered into a R900 million (approximately $90 million as of September 30, 2013) revolving credit facility with ABSA Bank Limited acting through its ABSA Capital Division (the “ABSA Revolver”). At December 31, 2012, the Company had drawn down R250 million (approximately $30 million), which was repaid during the first quarter of 2013. At September 30, 2013, the Company had no amounts drawn on the ABSA Revolver.

	Term Loan
	On March 19, 2013, Tronox Limited’s wholly-owned subsidiary, Tronox Pigments (Netherlands) B.V., Tronox Limited, and certain subsidiaries of Tronox Limited named as guarantors, entered into an Amended and Restated Credit and Guaranty Agreement with Goldman Sachs Bank USA, as Administrative Agent and Collateral Agent, and Goldman Sachs Bank USA, UBS Securities LLC, Credit Suisse Securities (USA) LLC and RBC Capital Markets, as Joint Lead Arrangers, Joint Bookrunners and Co-Syndication Agents. Pursuant to the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, the Company obtained a $1.5 billion senior secured term loan (the “Term Loan”), which matures in March 2020. The terms of the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement are substantially similar to the Company’s prior Term Facility (defined below). The Term Loan was issued net of an original issue discount of $7 million, or 0.5% of the principal balance. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013, the Company made principal repayments of $4 million.
	The Term loan bears interest at the option of Tronox at either i) 2.5% plus the base rate defined as the greater of the prime lending rate quoted in the print edition of The Wall Street Journal or the Federal Funds Effective rate in effect on such day plus one half of 1%; provided, however, that the Base Rate is not less than 2% per annum or ii) 3.5% plus the greater of the 3 month LIBOR Eurodollar rate or 1%.
	Notes
	On August 20, 2012, Tronox Limited’s wholly-owned subsidiary, Tronox Finance LLC, issued $900 million aggregate principal amount of 6.375% senior notes due 2020 (the “Existing Notes”) at par value. The Existing Notes were offered to qualified institutional buyers pursuant to Rule 144A under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and outside the United States to non-U.S. persons pursuant to Regulation S under the Securities Act.
	During the second quarter, the Company filed a Registration Statement on Form S-4 for $900 million in aggregate principal amount of 6.375% senior notes due 2020 (the “New Notes”) in exchange for the Existing notes. The New Notes are substantially identical to the Existing Notes. On September 17, 2013, Tronox Finance issued the New Notes in exchange for the Existing Notes (together the “Notes”). As of September 20, 2013, there was $900 million in aggregate principal amount of New Notes outstanding and less than $1 million in aggregate amount of Existing Notes outstanding.
	The Notes bear interest semiannually at a rate equal to 6.375%, and are fully and unconditionally guaranteed on a senior, unsecured basis by Tronox Limited and certain of its subsidiaries. The Notes are redeemable at any time at the Company’s discretion.
	Term Facility
	On February 8, 2012, Tronox Incorporated’s wholly-owned subsidiary, Tronox Pigments (Netherlands) B.V., entered into a term loan facility with Goldman Sachs Bank USA comprised of a $550 million Senior Secured Term Loan (the “Senior Secured Term Loan”) and a $150 million Senior Secured Delayed Draw Term Loan (the “Senior Secured Delayed Draw” together, the “Term Facility”). The Term Facility was issued net of an original issue discount of $7 million, or 1% of the initial principal amount, which was being amortized over the life of the Term Facility. On June 14, 2012, in connection with the closing of the Transaction, Tronox Pigments (Netherlands) B.V. drew down the $150 million Senior Secured Delayed Draw. During the nine months ended September 30, 2012, the Company made principal repayments of $2 million.
	On February 28, 2013, Tronox Pigments (Netherlands) B.V. repaid the outstanding principal balance of $149 million, plus interest, related to the $150 million Senior Secured Delayed Draw. In accordance with ASC 470, Debt (“ASC 470”), the Company accounted for such repayment as an extinguishment of debt. As such, the Company recognized a loss on the early extinguishment of debt of $4 million related to the allocated portion of the unamortized original issue discount and debt issuance costs, which is recorded in “Other income (expense)” on the unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.
	The Company allocated these amounts between the $550 million Senior Secured Term Loan and the $150 million Senior Secured Delayed Draw as follows:
		Outstanding					Percentage of					Allocation of				Loss
		Balance					Outstanding					Unamortized				Extinguishment
							Balance					Costs				of Debt
	Senior Secured Term Loan	$		547				79		%		$		16		$		—
	Senior Secured Delayed Draw			149				21		%				4				4
	Total	$		696				100		%		$		20		$		4
	In accordance with ASC 470, the outstanding principal balance of the Senior Secured Term Loan of $547 million, which became part of the Term Loan, was accounted for as a debt modification. As such, the unamortized original issue discount of $5 million and debt issuance costs of $11 million related to the Term Facility are being amortized over the life of the Term Loan.
	Co-generation Unit­­­ Financing Arrangement
	In March 2011, in order to finance its share of an asset purchased for the Tiwest Joint Venture, Tronox Incorporated incurred debt totaling $8 million. In connection with the Transaction, the Company acquired the remaining 50% undivided interest in the co-generation plant from Exxaro, along with its debt of $6 million. Under the financing arrangement, monthly payments are required, and interest accrues on the outstanding balance at the rate of 6.5% per annum. The Company made principal repayments of $1 million during both the three months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012 and $2 million during both the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012.
	Lease Financing
	In connection with the Transaction, the Company acquired capital lease obligations in South Africa, which are payable through 2032 at a weighted average interest rate of approximately 17%. At September 30, 2013, such obligations had a net book value of assets recorded under capital leases aggregating $7 million. The Company made payments of less than $1 million for both the three months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, and $2 million and less than $1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively.
	Fair Value
	The Company’s debt is recorded at historical amounts. At September 30, 2013, the fair value of the Term Loan was $1,508 million. At September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, the fair value of the Notes was $896 million and $910 million, respectively. At December 31, 2012, the fair value of the Term Facility was $709 million. The Company determined the fair value of the Term Loan, the Notes and the Term Facility using Bloomberg market prices. The fair value hierarchy for the Term Loan and the Notes is a Level 1 input.
	Debt Covenants
At September 30, 2013, the Company had financial covenants in the UBS Revolver, the ABSA Revolver and the Term Loan; however, only the ABSA Revolver had a financial maintenance covenant.
The terms of the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement are substantially similar to the Company’s prior Credit and Guaranty Agreement with Goldman Sachs Bank USA, dated February 8, 2012, except that the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (i) eliminates financial maintenance covenants (ii) permits, subject to certain conditions, incurrence of additional senior secured debt up to a leverage ratio of 2:1, (iii) increases the Company’s ability to incur debt in connection with permitted acquisitions and its ability to incur unsecured debt, and (iv) allows for the payment of a $0.25 per share dividend each fiscal quarter. Otherwise, the terms of the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement provide for customary representations and warranties, affirmative and negative covenants and events of default. The terms of the covenants, subject to certain exceptions, restrict, among other things: (i) debt incurrence; (ii) lien incurrence; (iii) investments, dividends and distributions; (iv) disposition of assets and subsidiary interests; (v) acquisitions; (vi) sale and leaseback transactions; and (vii) transactions with affiliates and shareholders.
The Term Facility and the UBS Revolver are subject to an intercreditor agreement pursuant to which the lenders’ respective rights and interests in the security are set forth. The Company was in compliance with its financial covenants at September 30, 2013.
The Company has pledged the majority of its U.S. assets and certain assets of its non-U.S. subsidiaries in support of its outstanding debt.

Asset Retirement Obligations	'
	12. Asset Retirement Obligations
	To the extent a legal obligation exists, an asset retirement obligation (“ARO”) is recorded at its estimated fair value, and accretion expense is recognized over time as the discounted liability is accreted to its expected settlement value. Fair value is measured using expected future cash outflows discounted at the Company’s credit-adjusted risk-free interest rate. The Company classifies accretion expense related to asset retirement obligations as a production cost, which is included in “Cost of goods sold” on the unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.

	Environmental Rehabilitation Trust
	The Company has established an environmental rehabilitation trust in respect of the prospecting and mining operations in South Africa in accordance with applicable regulations. The trustees of the fund are appointed by the Company, and consist of sufficiently qualified Tronox Limited employees capable of fulfilling their fiduciary duties. The environmental rehabilitation trust receives, holds, and invests funds for the rehabilitation or management of environmental impacts associated with mining and exploration activities. The contributions are aimed at providing sufficient funds at date of estimated closure of mining activities to address the rehabilitation and environmental impacts. Funds accumulated for a specific mine or exploration project can only be utilized for the rehabilitation and environmental impacts of that specific mine or project. Currently, the funds are invested in highly liquid, short-term instruments; however, the investment growth strategy has not been finalized. If a mine or exploration project withdraws from the fund for whatever valid reason, the funds accumulated for such mine or exploration project are transferred to a similar fund approved by management. At September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, the environmental rehabilitation trust assets were $19 million and $20 million, respectively, which were recorded in “Other long-term assets” on the unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Derivative Instruments	'
	13. Derivative Instruments
	The Company manufactures and markets its products in a number of countries throughout the world and, as a result, is exposed to changes in foreign currency exchange rates, particularly in South Africa, Australia and The Netherlands. Costs in South Africa and Australia are primarily incurred in local currencies, while the majority of revenues are in U.S. dollars. In Europe, the majority of revenues and costs are in the local currency. This leaves the Company exposed to movements in the South African Rand and the Australian dollar versus the U.S. dollar. In order to manage this risk, the Company has entered into currency forward contracts to buy and sell foreign currencies as “economic hedges” for these foreign currency transactions.
	At September 30, 2013, the Company had currency forward contracts to exchange an aggregate $17 million for an equivalent value of South African Rand and a currency forward contract to exchange R6 million for an equivalent value of U.S. dollars.  These contracts mature at various dates in the fourth quarter of 2013.
	The Company’s currency forward contracts are not designated for hedge accounting treatment under ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging, (“ASC 815”). As such, changes in the fair value are recorded in “Other income (expense)” on the unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.

	Letters of Credit — At September 30, 2013, the Company had outstanding letters of credit, bank guarantees and performance bonds of approximately $45 million, of which $25 million in letters of credit were issued under the UBS Revolver and $18 million were bank guarantees issued by ABSA.
	Legal — During 2013, the Western Australia Office of State Revenue (the “OSR”) reviewed their technical position on the imposition of stamp duty on the transfer of Tronox Incorporated’s shares related to Kerr-McGee’s restructuring in 2002 and from the share transfer related to the spinoff of Tronox Incorporated from Kerr-McGee in 2005. On October 20, 2012, the OSR rendered its assessment of $5 million, comprised of a primary stamp duty liability of $3 million and penalty tax of $2 million. As required by law, the Company paid the entire amount of the assessment in January 2013. On October 11, 2013, the OSR denied the Company’s objection to the interest penalty. The Company is assessing its future options with respect to this matter.
	Environmental Contingencies — In accordance with ASC 450, Contingencies, the Company recognizes a loss and records an undiscounted liability when litigation has commenced or a claim or an assessment has been asserted or, based on available information, commencement of litigation or assertion of a claim or assessment is probable, and the associated costs can be estimated. It is not possible for the Company to reliably estimate the amount and timing of all future expenditures related to environmental matters because, among other reasons, environmental laws and regulations, as well as enforcement policies and remediation levels, are continually changing, and the outcome of court proceedings, alternative dispute resolution proceedings (including mediation) and discussions with regulatory agencies are inherently uncertain.
	The Company believes that it has reserved adequately for the probable and reasonably estimable costs of known contingencies. There is no environmental litigation, claim or assessment that has been asserted nor is there any probability of an assessment or a claim for which the Company has not recorded a liability. However, additions to the reserves may be required as additional information is obtained that enables the Company to better estimate its liabilities. The Company cannot reliably estimate the amount of future additions to the reserves at this time. In certain situations, reserves may be probable but not estimable. Additionally, sites may be identified in the future where the Company could have potential liability for environmental related matters. If a site is identified, the Company will evaluate to determine what reserve, if any, should be established.
	Other Matters — From time to time, the Company may be party to a number of legal and administrative proceedings involving environmental and/or other matters in various courts or agencies. These proceedings, individually and in the aggregate, may have a material adverse effect on the Company. These proceedings may be associated with facilities currently or previously owned, operated or used by the Company and/or its predecessors, some of which may include claims for personal injuries, property damages, cleanup costs and other environmental matters. Current and former operations of the Company may also involve management of regulated materials, which are subject to various environmental laws and regulations including the Comprehensive Environmental Response Compensation and Liability Act (“CERCLA”), the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (the “RCRA”) or state equivalents. Similar environmental laws and regulations and other requirements exist in foreign countries in which the Company operates.

	Warrants
	Prior to the Transaction, Tronox Incorporated had issued Series A warrants and Series B warrants (collectively, the “Tronox Incorporated Warrants”). In connection with the Transaction, and pursuant to the terms of the Tronox Incorporated Warrant Agreement, Tronox Limited entered into an amended and restated warrant agreement, dated as of the Transaction Date, whereby the holders of the Tronox Limited Warrants are entitled to purchase one Class A Share and receive $12.50 in cash at the initial exercise prices of $62.13 for each Series A Warrant (the “Series A Warrants”) and $68.56 for each Series B Warrant (the “Series B Warrants”, collectively with the Series A Warrants, the “Warrants”). On the Transaction Date, there were 841,302 Warrants outstanding. The Warrants have a seven-year term from the date initially issued and will expire on February 14, 2018. A holder may exercise the Warrants by paying the applicable exercise price in cash or on a cashless basis. The Warrants are freely transferable by the holder thereof.
	In connection with the share split (see below), holders of the Warrants are entitled to purchase five Class A Shares and receive $12.50 in cash. At September 30, 2013, the exercise price, adjusted for dividends paid, was $60.01 for each Series A Warrant and $66.23 for each Series B Warrants.

	For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013, Tronox Limited was the public parent registered under the laws of the State of Western Australia. For the three months ended September 30, 2012 and from June 15, 2012 through September 30, 2012, Tronox Limited was the public parent; however, prior to June 15, 2012, Tronox Incorporated was the public parent, a Delaware corporation registered in the United States.

	Effective tax rate		(24	)%		97		%			(13	)%		(9	)%
	The negative effective tax rates for the three months and the nine months ended September 30, 2013, differ from the Australian statutory rate of 30% primarily due to withholding tax accruals, prior year return to provision and other adjustments, valuation allowances in various jurisdictions, and income in foreign jurisdictions taxed at rates different than 30%.
	The negative effective tax rate for the nine months ended September 30, 2012, differs from the U.S. statutory rate of 35% primarily as a consequence of the Company re-domiciling in Australia. Because the Australian tax laws provide for a resetting of the tax basis of the business assets to market value, the Company recorded a tax benefit related to this market value basis adjustment. The overall tax benefit from this basis adjustment increase was partially offset by a valuation allowance established for the portion of the tax benefit which the Company believes will not be realized. Because this basis change did not pertain to an entity acquired in the Transaction, this net tax benefit was recorded through tax expense and did not impact the Company’s gain on bargain purchase.
	Additionally, the effective tax rate for the nine months ended September 30, 2012, was impacted by the release of a valuation allowance in The Netherlands, continuing valuation allowances in the United States, income in foreign jurisdictions taxed at rates lower than 35%, and the Company’s gain on the bargain purchase, which was recorded net of the financial tax impact and is not subject to income tax in any jurisdiction.
	The high effective tax rate for the three months ended September 30, 2012, differs from the U.S. statutory rate of 35% primarily because the Company incurred a book operating loss for the quarter while recording a tax benefit from the release of a valuation allowance in The Netherlands.
	The application of business combination accounting on June 15, 2012 resulted in the re-measurement of deferred income taxes associated with recording the assets and liabilities of acquired entities at fair value pursuant to ASC 805. As a result, deferred income taxes of $205 million were recorded at amounts determined in accordance with ASC 740, Income Taxes (“ASC 740”) as part of the Company’s gain on bargain purchase.
	The Company continues to maintain a valuation allowance related to the net deferred tax assets in the United States. Future provisions for income taxes will include no tax benefits with respect to losses incurred and tax expense only to the extent of state tax payments until the valuation allowance in the United States is eliminated. ASC 740 requires that all available positive and negative evidence be weighted to determine whether a valuation allowance should be recorded.

	The Company calculates basic and diluted earnings (loss) per ordinary share using the two-class method.  Under the two-class method, the earnings used to determine basic earnings per ordinary share are reduced by an amount allocated to participating securities.  Participating securities for the Company include restricted share awards issued under the Tronox Management Equity Incentive Plan and the T-Bucks Employee Participation Plan as both contain non-forfeitable dividend rights and participate equally with ordinary shares with respect to dividends issued or declared. The Company's unexercised options, unexercised Series A and Series B Warrants, and unvested restricted share units do not contain non-forfeitable rights to dividends and are not considered in the calculation of basic earnings per share.
	The Company's unvested restricted shares do not have a contractual obligation to share in losses of the Company.  When the Company records a net loss, none of the loss is allocated to the participating securities.  Consequently, in periods of net loss, the two class method will not have an effect on the Company's basic earnings per share.
	Diluted earnings per ordinary share is calculated by dividing net earnings allocable to ordinary shares by the weighted-average number of ordinary shares outstanding for the period, as adjusted for the potential dilutive effect of non-participating restricted share units, options and Series A and Series B Warrants.  The options and Series A and Series B Warrants are included in the calculation of diluted earnings per ordinary share utilizing the treasury stock method.

At September 30, 2012, 523,970 options with an average exercise price of $25.52, 364,819 Series A Warrants and 474,425 Series B Warrants, with exercise prices of $61.84 and $68.24, respectively, were not recognized in the three months ended diluted earnings per share calculation as they were anti-dilutive.

Sharebased_Compensation

Share-based Compensation	9 Months Ended

Share-based Compensation	'
	18. Share-based Compensation
	Compensation expense related to restricted share awards was $3 million and $2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively, and $9 million and $28 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively. Compensation expense related to the Company’s nonqualified option awards was $1 million and less than $1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively, and $4 million and $1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively.
	At September 30, 2013, unrecognized compensation expense related to the Company’s restricted shares and options, adjusted for estimated forfeitures, was approximately $45 million, with such unrecognized compensation expense expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of approximately 2 years. The ultimate amount of such expense is dependent upon the actual number of restricted shares and options that vest. The Company periodically assesses the forfeiture rates used for such estimates. A change in estimated forfeiture rates would cause the aggregate amount of compensation expense recognized in future periods to differ from the estimated unrecognized compensation expense above.
	Tronox Limited Management Equity Incentive Plan
	On the Transaction Date, Tronox Limited adopted the Tronox Limited Management Equity Incentive Plan (the “Tronox Limited MEIP”), which permits the grant of awards that constitute incentive options, nonqualified options, share appreciation rights, restricted shares, restricted share units, performance awards and other share-based awards, cash payments and other forms such as the compensation committee of the Board in its discretion deems appropriate, including any combination of the above. Subject to further adjustment, the maximum number of shares which may be the subject of awards (inclusive of incentive options) is 12,781,225 Class A Shares.
	Restricted Shares
	During the nine months ended September 30, 2013, the Company granted restricted share awards to employees. All restricted share awards vest pursuant to both time requirements and performance requirements. The time provisions are graded vesting, while the performance provisions are cliff vesting and have a variable payout. During the nine months ended September 30, 2013, as part of the annual directors’ compensation program, the Company granted restricted share awards with graded vesting to members of the Board. In accordance with ASC 718, Compensation – Share-Based Compensation (“ASC 718”), the restricted share awards issued during 2013 are classified as equity awards, and are accounted for using the fair value established at the grant date.
	Restricted share activity for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012 was as follows:

T-Bucks Employee Participation Plan (“T-Bucks EPP”)
During 2012, the Company established the T-Bucks EPP for the benefit of certain qualifying employees (the “Participants”) of Tronox subsidiaries in South Africa (the “Employer Companies”). In accordance with the terms of the Trust Deed of the T-Bucks Trust (the “T-Bucks Trust Deed”), the Employer Companies funded the T-Bucks Trust (the “Trust”) in the amount of R124 million (approximately $15 million), which represents a capital contribution equal to R75,000 for each Participant. The funded amount was used to acquire 548,234 Class A Shares.
On September 3, 2012, the Participants were awarded restricted share units in the Trust which entitles them to receive shares of Tronox Limited upon completion of the vesting period on May 31, 2017. The Participants are also entitled to receive dividends on the Tronox shares during the vesting period. Forfeited shares are retained by the Trust and are allocated to future participants in accordance with the Trust Deed. Under certain conditions, as outlined in the Trust Deed, Participants may receive share units awarded before May 31, 2017. The fair value of the awards is the fair value of the shares determined at the Grant Date. Compensation costs are recognized over the vesting period using the straight-line method. In accordance with ASC 718, the T-Bucks EPP is classified as an equity-settled shared-based payment plan.
At September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, there were 548,234 shares in the trust with a fair value of $25.79, which represents the fair value on the date of purchase by the trust.

	Prior to the Transaction, Tronox Incorporated had one reportable segment representing its pigment business. The Pigment segment primarily produced and marketed TiO2, and included heavy minerals production. The heavy minerals production was integrated with its Australian pigment plant, but also had third-party sales of minerals not utilized by its pigment operations. In connection with the Transaction, the Company acquired 74% of Exxaro’s mineral sands operations, along with its 50% share of the Tiwest Joint Venture in Western Australia. As such, the Company evaluated its new operations under ASC 280, Segments, and determined that the mineral sands operations qualify as a separate segment.
	Subsequent to the Transaction, the Company has two reportable segments, Mineral Sands and Pigment. The Mineral Sands segment includes the exploration, mining and beneficiation of mineral sands deposits, as well as heavy mineral production. These operations produce titanium feedstock, including chloride slag, slag fines and rutile, as well as pig iron and zircon. The Pigment segment primarily produces and markets TiO2, and has production facilities in the United States, Australia, and The Netherlands. Corporate and Other is comprised of corporate activities and businesses that are no longer in operation, as well as electrolytic manufacturing and marketing operations, all of which are located in the United States.
	Segment performance is evaluated based on segment operating profit (loss), which represents the results of segment operations before unallocated costs, such as general corporate expenses not identified to a specific segment, environmental provisions, net of reimbursements, related to sites no longer in operation, interest expense, other income (expense) and income tax expense or benefit.

	22. Emergence from Chapter 11
	On January 12, 2009, the petition date, Tronox Incorporated and certain of its subsidiaries (collectively, the “Debtors”) filed voluntary petitions in the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of New York (the “Bankruptcy Court”) seeking reorganization relief under the provisions of Chapter 11 of Title 11 of the United States Code (the “Bankruptcy Code”). The Debtors’ Chapter 11 cases were consolidated for the purpose of joint administration.
	In May 2009, the Company commenced an adversary proceeding in the Bankruptcy Court against Kerr-McGee and its new parent, Anadarko, related to the 2005 Spin-Off of Tronox (Tronox Inc. v. Anadarko Petroleum Corp. (In re Tronox Inc.), 09-1198, U.S. Bankruptcy Court, Southern District New York (Manhattan)) (the “Anadarko Litigation”). Pursuant the Plan, the Company assigned the rights to any pre-tax proceeds that may be recovered in the Anadarko Litigation to its creditors.
	On November 30, 2010 (the “Confirmation Date”), the Bankruptcy Court entered an order confirming the Debtors’ First Amended Joint Plan of Reorganization pursuant to Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code, dated November 5, 2010 (as amended and confirmed, the “Plan”). Material conditions to the Plan were resolved during the period from the Confirmation Date until January 26, 2011, and subsequently, on February 14, 2011 (the “Effective Date”), the Debtors emerged from bankruptcy and continued operations as reorganized Tronox Incorporated.
	On June 13, 2013, the Bankruptcy Court entered a Final Decree and ordered that the bankruptcy cases, other than the adversary proceedings with Anadarko Petroleum Corporation (“Anadarko”), be closed.

Accounting for Cumulative Translation Adjustment	'
	In March 2013, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the “FASB”) issued accounting standards update (“ASU”) 2013-5, Parent’s Accounting for the Cumulative Translation Adjustment upon Derecognition of Certain Subsidiaries or Groups of Assets within a Foreign Entity or of an Investment in a Foreign Entity (“ASU 2013-5”), which addresses the treatment of the cumulative translation adjustment 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 within a foreign entity. ASU 2013-5 is effective prospectively for periods beginning after December 15, 2013; however early adoption is permitted. The adoption of this guidance is not anticipated to have a significant impact on the consolidated financial statements.
Presentation of Comprehensive Income	'
	During 2013, the Company adopted ASU 2013-2, Reporting of Amounts Reclassified Out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income, which requires the presentation of the effects on the line items of net income of significant amounts reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income, if the item is required under U.S. GAAP to be reclassified to net income in its entirety in the same reporting period. The adoption of this guidance did not have a significant impact on the consolidated financial statements.
Offsetting Assets And Liabilities Related to Derivatives	'
	During 2013, the Company adopted ASU 2013-01, Clarifying the Scope of Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities, to clarify previously issued guidance related to derivatives that are either offset or subject to an enforceable master netting arrangement or similar agreement. The adoption of this guidance did not have a significant impact on the consolidated financial statements.
