EXPLANATORY NOTE

This Amendment No. 1 to Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q amends our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended June 30, 2009, originally filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on August 10, 2009 (the "Original Filing"). We are filing this amendment to correct the "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" relating to our "Netherlands Operation". The amendment deletes the following sentence, "Our increased sales efforts in Europe have resulted in an increase in our customer base, as well as our sales volume." which was included in error. The error had no impact on net loss, loss per share, or any other information set forth in the Original Filing. In addition, we are including currently dated certifications as Exhibits 31 and 32.

Forward Looking Information

Certain portions of this report contain forward-looking statements about the business, financial condition and prospects of the Company. The actual results of the Company could differ materially from those indicated by the forward-looking statements because of various risks and uncertainties including, without limitation, changes in demand for the Company’s products, changes in competition, economic conditions, fluctuations in market price for TiO₂ pigments, changes in foreign currency exchange rates, increases in the price of energy and raw materials, such as ilmenite, interest rate fluctuations, changes in the capital markets, changes in tax and other laws and governmental rules and regulations applicable to the Company’s business, and other risks indicated in the Company’s filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. These risks and uncertainties are beyond the ability of the Company to control, and, in many cases, the Company cannot predict all of the risks and uncertainties that could cause its actual results to differ materially from those indicated by the forward-looking statements. The Company assumes no obligation to provide revisions to any forward-looking statements should circumstances change, except as otherwise required by securities and other applicable laws. When used in this report, the words “believes,” “estimates,” “plans,” “expects,” “anticipates” and similar expressions as they relate to the Company or its management are intended to identify forward-looking statements.

Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
(Unaudited)

Note 1.

Going Concern

The consolidated financial statements included in this report have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. As discussed in Note 3, the Company has significant borrowings which require, among other things, compliance with certain financial covenants, specifically a Consolidated Fixed Charge Ratio and a Consolidated Funded Debt to EBITDA Ratio, on a quarterly basis. As a result of the operating losses incurred throughout 2008 and the first quarter of 2009, the Company was not in compliance with these ratio covenants under our US Credit Agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) with Bank of America, N.A. (the “Bank”) as of December 31, 2008 and March 31, 2009.

As reported in the Company’s Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on May 6, 2009 the Company amended the Credit Agreement with the Bank. Under the terms of the amendment, subject to the Company’s compliance with the terms and conditions contained in the amendment, including revised financial covenants, the Bank agreed not to exercise any of its rights or remedies relating to the existing events of default under the Credit Agreement. The Bank also agreed to extend the maturity date on our Line of Credit (the “Line”) from April 1, 2009 to October 1, 2009. In addition, the amendment modified the maturity date for our real estate term loan (the “Loan”) from November 30, 2010 to October 1, 2009 and our term loan (the “Term Loan”) from May 1, 2012 to October 1, 2009. The Credit Agreement is secured by all of the Company’s assets in the US. The interest rate on the Line, the Loan and the Term Loan was increased from prime plus two percent to prime plus two and one-half percent, which was 5.75% at June 30, 2009. As a result, all of the Company’s debt owed to the Bank matures on October 1, 2009.

As reported in the Company’s Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on May 6, 2009, the Company’s Board of Directors has authorized, subject to shareholder approval, the issuance of up to $4 million of its six-percent (6%) convertible subordinated debentures with detachable warrants (the “Debentures”) for the purpose of refinancing its debt to the Bank and general corporate purposes. Under the current authorization, the Company received, on May 4, 2009, $1 million from the sale of Debentures due May 4, 2016, from three of the Company’s directors.

In addition to the above referenced Debentures, in June 2009 the Company received subscription agreements from five additional accredited investors, one of which is a director and another of which is a greater than 5% shareholder, for 19 Units for an aggregate purchase price of $475,000. These subscription agreements have been accepted by the Company subject to shareholder approval at the Company’s annual meeting on August 21, 2009. The proceeds are held in restricted cash and will be used to reduce the Company’s debt to the Bank after receiving shareholder approval.

Under the terms of the Credit Agreement, the Company has agreed to use all proceeds in excess of $1 million that it receives after May 1, 2009 from the issuance of any of its capital stock, from capital contributions in respect to its capital stock, from the issuance of debentures or the incurrence of permitted subordinated indebtedness (as defined in the Credit Agreement) to prepay the loans and other obligations under the Credit Agreement.

The Company is diligently working to establish a corporate lending relationship with a new financial institution for the Company’s US operations prior to October 1, 2009, the revised maturity date under the Credit Agreement, to refinance outstanding debt with the Bank prior to its revised maturity. However, there can be no assurance that the Company will be able to successfully refinance the debt or sell any material part of the Debentures. If the Company is unable to refinance the debt due to the Bank prior to its revised maturity or if the Company defaults under the terms of the Credit Agreements prior to its revised maturity and the Bank were to accelerate the maturity of such indebtedness, the Company does not have sufficient liquidity to pay off the indebtedness owed to the Bank, and the Bank would be entitled to exercise all of its rights and remedies as a secured lender under the Credit Agreement which could force the Company into bankruptcy or liquidation.

In addition, the Company’s two subsidiaries, TOR Minerals Malaysia, Sdn. Bhd. (“TMM”) and TOR Processing and Trade, BV (“TPT”) have short-term credit facilities and term loans at banks in Malaysia and the Netherlands, respectively. At June 30, 2009, TMM’s utilization under the credit facilities and term loans with HSBC Bank Malaysia, Bhd. (“HSBC”) and RHB Bank, Bhd. (“RHB”) totaled $2,000,000 and TPT’s utilization under the credit facility and term loans with Rabobank totaled $2,939,000. The credit facilities with HSBC, RHB and Rabobank are subject to demand provisions and are subject to certain subjective acceleration covenants based on the judgment of the banks. While the banks have made no indication that they will demand payment of the debt in Malaysia or in the Netherlands, in light of the Company’s liquidity difficulties, there can be no assurances that this debt will not be called for payment prior to the stated maturity date.

Since early 2007, the Company has actively pursued new production methods and new product development. As a result, the Company introduced new products to the market in 2008 and completed a new powder treatment facility in Malaysia in May 2008. In addition, the Company has invested in a new powder treatment facility at the US operation which was commissioned in April 2009. With the new process equipment, the Company will replace natural gas with electricity as the primary energy source at the US operation. The Company believes that the changes in the manufacturing process in the US and Malaysia, as well as the potential acceptance of its new products in the market, will improve cash flows. However, the introduction of new products and the sales volume of existing product lines may be negatively impacted by the decline in the global economy. To offset the possible decline in sales revenue associated with the economy, the Company has implemented numerous cost cutting measures at each of the three operations, including, but not limited to, reductions in staff, salaries, travel and other discretionary expenses.

The events described above raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Our ability to continue to operate as a going concern is dependent on our ability to successfully establish a corporate lending relationship with a new financial institution for the US operation, and/or raise sufficient new capital and improve our operating cash flows to a sufficient level.

Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation and Use of Estimates

The accompanying unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). The interim condensed consolidated financial statements include the consolidated accounts of TOR Minerals International, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries with all significant intercompany transactions eliminated. In our opinion, all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) necessary for a fair statement of the consolidated financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the interim periods presented have been made. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such SEC rules and regulations. These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2008, in our Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on March 31, 2009. Operating results for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2009, are not necessarily indicative of the results for the year ending December 31, 2009.

Income Taxes

We record income taxes under SFAS No. 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes”, using the liability method. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on differences between financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities and are measured using the enacted tax rates and laws that will be in effect when the differences are expected to reverse.

Income taxes consisted of a foreign deferred tax benefit of approximately $40,000 and state income tax expense of $2,000 for the three month period ended June 30, 2009, compared to state income tax expense of $3,000 for the corresponding three month period in 2008. For the six-month periods ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, we recorded a foreign deferred tax benefit of approximately $75,000 and $33,000, respectively, and state income tax expense of $3,000 and $5,000, respectively. Taxes are based on an estimated annualized consolidated effective rate of 20.6%

In accordance with the requirements of FASB Interpretation No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes – an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109 (“FIN 48”), we evaluate all tax years still subject to potential audit under the applicable state, federal and foreign income tax laws. We are subject to taxation in the United States, Malaysia and The Netherlands. Our federal income tax returns in the United States are subject to examination for the tax years ended December 31, 2005 through December 31, 2008. Our state returns, which are filed in Texas, Ohio and Michigan, are subject to examination for the tax years ended December 31, 2004 through December 31, 2008. Our tax returns in various non-US jurisdictions are subject to examination for various tax years ended December 31, 2003 through December 31, 2008.

As of January 1, 2009, we did not have any unrecognized tax benefits and there was no change during the six-month period ended June 30, 2009.

Subsequent Events

We evaluated all activity of TOR through August 10, 2009, the issue date of the Consolidated financial statements, and concluded that no subsequent events have occurred that would require recognition in the Consolidated financial statements or disclosure in the notes to the Consolidated financial statements.

Recently Adopted and Recently Issued Accounting Standards

On January 1, 2009, we adopted FASB Statement No. 157, Fair Value Measurement (“SFAS 157”), as it relates to nonfinancial assets and nonfinancial liabilities that are not recognized or disclosed at fair value in the financial statements on at least an annual basis. SFAS 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP), and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. The provisions of this standard apply to other accounting pronouncements that require or permit fair value measurements and are to be applied prospectively with limited exceptions. The adoption of SFAS 157, as it relates to nonfinancial assets and nonfinancial liabilities, had no impact on the consolidated financial statements. The provisions of SFAS 157 will be applied at such time a fair value measurement of a nonfinancial asset or nonfinancial liability is required, which may result in a fair value that is materially different than would have been calculated prior to the adoption of SFAS 157.

(Unaudited)

On January 1, 2009, we adopted FASB Statement No. 141 (Revised 2007) Business Combinations (“SFAS 141(R)”) and Statement No. 160 Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements (“SFAS 160”). The new standards represent the completion of the FASB’s first major joint project with the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) and are intended to improve, simplify and converge internationally the accounting for business combinations and the reporting of noncontrolling interests (formerly minority interests) in consolidated financial statements. The effect of adoption will generally be prospectively applied to transactions completed after the end of our 2008 fiscal year, although the new presentation and disclosure requirements for pre-existing noncontrolling interests will be retrospectively applied to all prior-period financial information presented. The impact of SFAS 141(R) and SFAS 160 on our consolidated financial statements is dependent upon acquisitions entered into by the Company after January 1, 2009.

On January 1, 2009, we adopted FASB Statement No. 161, Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities (“SFAS 161”), an amendment of SFAS No. 133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities. SFAS 161 requires entities to provide greater transparency in derivative disclosures by requiring qualitative disclosure about objectives and strategies for using derivatives and quantitative disclosures about fair value amounts of gains and losses on derivative instruments. Other than the required disclosures (see Note 11), the adoption of SFAS 161 had no impact on the consolidated financial statements.

In April 2009, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position FSP FAS 107-1 and APB 28-1, Interim Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments (“FSP FAS 107-1 and APB 28-1”). FSP FAS 107-1 and APB 28-1 enhance consistency in financial reporting by increasing the frequency of fair value disclosures. This FSP relates to fair value disclosures for any financial instruments that are not currently reflected in a company’s balance sheet at fair value. Prior to the effective date of this FSP, fair values for these assets and liabilities were only disclosed once a year. This FSP will now require these disclosures to be made on a quarterly basis. FSP FAS 107-1 and APB 28-1 became effective for us on June 30, 2009 and we have included the additional disclosure information required within Note 5, Fair Value Measurements, of the notes to the consolidated financial statements.

In May 2009, the FASB issued Statement No. 165, Subsequent Events (“SFAS 165”), to be effective for interim or annual financial periods ending after June 15, 2009. SFAS 165 does not materially change the existing guidance but introduces the concept of financial statements being available to be issued. It requires the disclosure of the date through which an entity has evaluated subsequent events and the basis for that date, that is, whether the date represents the date the financial statements were issued or were “available to be issued”. This disclosure is intended to alert all users of financial statements that an entity has not evaluated subsequent events after that date in the set of financial statements being presented. SFAS 165 became effective for us on June 30, 2009 and the adoption did not have an impact on our consolidated financial statements.

In June 2009, the FASB issued Statement No. 168, The FASB Accounting Standards Codification and the Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“SFAS 168”), which amends SFAS No. 162, The Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles. SFAS 168 will become the source of authoritative U.S. GAAP recognized by the FASB to be applied by nongovernmental entities. Rules and interpretive releases of the SEC under the authority of federal securities laws are also sources of authoritative GAAP for SEC registrants. On the effective date, SFAS 168 will supersede all then existing non-SEC accounting and reporting standards. All other non-grandfathered non-SEC accounting literature not included in SFAS 168 will become non-authoritative. SFAS 168 is effective for financial statements issued for interim and annual periods ending after September 15, 2009. We are currently assessing the impact SFAS 168 will have on our consolidated financial statements and disclosures.

US Bank Credit Facility, Term Loans and Convertible Debentures

Bank of America Credit Facility and Term Loans

On April 30, 2009, we amended the Credit Agreement with the Bank. Under the terms of the amendment, subject to our compliance with the terms and conditions contained in the amendment, including revised financial covenants, the Bank agreed not to exercise any of its rights or remedies relating to the existing events of default under the Credit Agreement. The Bank also agreed to extend the maturity date on the Line from April 1, 2009 to October 1, 2009. In addition, the amendment modified the maturity date for the Loan from November 30, 2010 to October 1, 2009 and the Term Loan from May 1, 2012 to October 1, 2009. As a result, all of our debt owed to the Bank matures on October 1, 2009, provided, if we default on obligations contained in the amendment, the Bank will have the rights and remedies available to it under the Credit Agreement and applicable law. The interest rate on the Line, the Loan and the Term Loan was increased from prime plus two percent to prime plus two and one-half percent, which was 5.75% at June 30, 2009. Under the terms of the amendment, the financial covenants are replaced with the following:

Covenants to be based on the results of the Corpus Christi operation
Current Ratio – Maintain a ratio of current assets to current liabilities of at least 1.0 to 1.0 as of the quarter ending June 30, 2009 (1.2 to 1.0 at June 30, 2009)
Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio – Maintain a fixed charge coverage ratio of at least 0.85 to 1.0 for the quarter ending June 30, 2009 (0.85 to 1.0 at June 30, 2009)

We also agreed that we will use all proceeds in excess of $1 million that we receive after May 1, 2009 from the issuance of any of our capital stock, from capital contributions in respect to our capital stock, from the issuance of debentures or the incurrence of permitted subordinated indebtedness (as defined in the Credit Agreement) to prepay the loans and other obligations under the Credit Agreement.

At June 30, 2009, the outstanding balance on the Line was $1,850,000 and we had $524,000 available on that date based on eligible accounts receivable and inventory borrowing limitations. The Line is secured by the accounts receivable and inventory of the US Operation and all outstanding credit on the Line will be due on October 1, 2009.

Netherlands Bank Credit Facility, Mortgage and Term Loan

On March 20, 2007, our subsidiary, TPT, entered into a short-term credit facility (the “Credit Facility”) with Rabobank which increased TPT’s line of credit from Euro 650,000 to Euro 1,100,000. The Credit Facility, which has a variable interest rate of Bank prime plus 2.8% (currently at 7.65%), will mature on December 31, 2009 and is secured by TPT’s accounts receivable and inventory. At June 30, 2009, TPT had utilized Euro 1,006,000 ($1,412,000) of its short-term credit facility.

The loan agreements covering both TPT’s credit facility and term loans include subjective acceleration clauses that allow Rabobank to accelerate payment if, in the judgment of the bank, there are adverse changes in our business. We believe that such subjective acceleration clauses are customary in the Netherlands for such borrowings. However, if demand is made by Rabobank, we may be unable to refinance the demanded indebtedness, in which case the lenders could foreclose on the assets of TPT.

Malaysian Bank Credit Facility and Term Loan

On November 3, 2008, the Company’s subsidiary, TMM, amended its banking facility with HSBC Bank Malaysia Berhad (“HSBC”) to extend the maturity date from October 1, 2008 to October 31, 2009. In addition, the HSBC facility includes the following in Malaysian Ringgits (“RM”): (1) a banker’s acceptance (“BA”) of RM 500,000; (2) an export line (“ECR”) of RM 5,000,000; and (3) a foreign exchange contract limit of RM 5,000,000 ($142,000, $1,424,000 and $1,424,000, respectively).

TMM renewed its banking facility with RHB Bank Berhad (“RHB”) on October 30, 2008, for the purpose of extending the maturity date of the current facilities from October 31, 2008, to October 31, 2009. The RHB facility, which TMM is still negotiating, includes the following: (1) an overdraft line of credit up to RM 1,000,000; (2) an ECR of RM 9,300,000; and (3) a foreign exchange contract limit of RM 25,000,000 ($284,000, $2,648,000 and $7,120,000, respectively).

The banking facilities with both HSBC and RHB bear an interest rate on the overdraft facilities at 1.25% over bank prime and the ECR facilities bear interest at 1.0% above the funding rate stipulated by the Export-Import Bank of Malaysia Berhad. The ECR, a government supported financing arrangement specifically for exporters, is used by TMM for short-term financing of up to 180 days against customers’ and inter-company shipments. At June 30, 2009, the interest rate was 3.5% and the outstanding balance on their ECR and BA facilities was RM 5,094,000 ($1,451,000).

The borrowings under both the HSBC and the RHB short term credit facilities are subject to certain subjective acceleration covenants based on the judgment of the banks and a demand provision that provide that the banks may demand repayment at any time. We believe such a demand provision is customary in Malaysia for such facilities. The loan agreements are secured by TMM’s property, plant and equipment. However, if demand is made by HSBC or RHB, we may be unable to refinance the demanded indebtedness, in which case, the lenders could foreclose on the assets of TMM. The credit facilities prohibit TMM from paying dividends and the HSBC facility further prohibits loans to related parties without the prior consent of HSBC.

Product sales of inventory between Corpus Christi, TPT and TMM are based on inter-company pricing, which includes an inter-company profit margin. In the geographic information, the location profit (loss) from all locations is reflective of these inter-company prices, as is inventory at the Corpus Christi location prior to elimination adjustments. Such presentation is consistent with the internal reporting reviewed by the Company’s chief operating decision maker. The elimination entries include an adjustment to the cost of sales resulting from the adjustment to ending inventory to eliminate inter-company profit, and the reversal of a similar adjustment from a prior period. To the extent there are net increases/declines period over period in Corpus Christi inventories that include an inter-company component, the net effect of these adjustments can decrease/increase location profit.

Sales from the subsidiary to the parent company are based upon profit margins which represent competitive pricing of similar products. Intercompany sales consisted of SR, HITOX and ALUPREM.

Stock Options and Equity Compensation Plan

For the three month periods ended June, 2009 and 2008, the Company recorded an expense of $24,000 and $56,000, respectively, in stock-based employee compensation expense and for the six-month periods ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, $50,000 and $90,000, respectively. This compensation expense is included in the selling, general and administrative expenses in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations.

The Company granted 20,000 and 15,000 options during the six- month periods ended June 30, 2009 and 2008.

As of June 30, 2009, there was $170,000 of option compensation expense related to non-vested awards which is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 2.44 years.

As all options issued under the Plan are Incentive Stock Options, the Company does not normally receive significant excess tax benefits relating to the compensation expense recognized on vested options.

Derivatives and Other Financial Instruments

The Company has exposure to certain risks relating to its ongoing business operations, including financial, market, political and economic risks. The following discussion provides information regarding our exposure to the risks of changing energy prices and foreign currency exchange rates. The Company has not entered into these contracts for trading or speculative purposes in the past, nor do we currently anticipate entering into such contracts for trading or speculative purposes in the future. The natural gas and foreign exchange contracts are used to mitigate uncertainty and volatility, and to cover underlying exposures.

Natural Gas Contracts

We manage the risk of changes in natural gas supply prices at our Corpus Christi operation using derivative financial instruments. Natural gas market prices are volatile and we effectively fix prices for a portion of our natural gas production requirements through the use of swaps. A swap is a contract between us and a third party to exchange cash based on a designated natural gas price. Swap contracts require payment to or from us for the amount, if any, that the monthly published gas prices from the source specified in the contract differ from the prices of the New York Mercantile Exchange (NYMEX) natural gas futures during a specified period. There are no initial cash requirements related to the swap. The contracts are traded in months forward and settlement dates are scheduled to coincide with gas purchases during that future period. We report the fair value of the derivatives on our balance sheet and changes in fair value are recognized in cost of sales in the period of the change.

On November 18, 2008, the Company entered into a natural gas contract with Bank of America, N.A. for 40,000 MM/Btu’s of natural gas which settled on March 1, 2009. For the six month period ended June 30, 2009, we recorded a net expense of approximately $27,000 as a component of our cost of sales.

Foreign Currency Forward Contracts

We manage the risk of changes in foreign currency exchange rates, primarily at our Malaysian operation, through the use of foreign currency contracts. Foreign exchange contracts are used to protect the Company from the risk that the eventual cash flows resulting from transactions in foreign currencies, including sales and purchases transacted in a currency other than the functional currency, will be adversely affected by changes in exchange rates. We report the fair value of the derivatives on our balance sheet and changes in the fair value are recognized in earnings in the period of the change.

Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

Company Overview

We are a global specialty chemical company engaged in the business of manufacturing and marketing mineral products for use as pigments, pigment extenders and flame retardants used in the manufacture of paints, industrial coatings, plastics, catalysts and solid surface applications. We have operations in the US, Asia and Europe.

Our US Operation, located in Corpus Christi, Texas, manufactures HITOX, BARTEX, HALTEX and TIOPREM. The facility is also the Global Headquarters for the Company. The Asian Operation, located in Ipoh, Malaysia, manufactures SR and HITOX and our European Operation, located in Hattem, Netherlands, manufactures Alumina based products.

Operating expenses in the foreign locations are primarily in local currencies. Accordingly, we have exposure to fluctuation in foreign currency exchange rates. These fluctuations impact the translation of sales, earnings, assets and liabilities from local currency to the US Dollar.

Our business is closely correlated with the construction industry and its demand for materials that use pigments, such as paints and plastics. This has generally led to higher sales in our second and third quarters due to increases in construction and maintenance during warmer weather. Also, pigment consumption is closely correlated with general economic conditions. When the economy is in an expansionary state, there is typically an increase in pigment consumption while a slow down typically results in decreased pigment consumption. When the construction industry or the economy is in a period of decline, TOR's sales and profit are likely to be adversely affected.

2009 Outlook

Due to the downturn in the global economy, we have experienced a decrease in HITOX sales of approximately 35% and a decrease in BARTEX sales of approximately 30% during the first six months of 2009 and anticipate this trend to continue through 2009. However, we have experienced an increase in our specialty grade ALUPREM sales during the first six months of 2009 over the corresponding period in 2008 of approximately 15% which is primarily related to the purchasing pattern of one of our US customers. We anticipate the sales of our specialty grade ALUPREM to continue strong throughout 2009. While the decline in the economy has impacted the introduction of our new TIOPREM and OPTILOAD product lines, we anticipate that we will be able to sell these products in plastics, top coat paint and paper applications which were not previously available to us with our traditional HITOX and HALTEX products.

Our new production technologies, installed at our Malaysian operation in May 2008 and at our US operation in March 2009, have replaced fuel oil and natural gas with electricity as our primary source of energy, thereby reducing our overall energy costs. In addition, we have seen a decrease in the cost of freight between Malaysia and the US during the first quarter of 2009. As a result, we were able to secure the delivery of our first shipment of SR, which arrived at our US operation in April 2009, at approximately 25% less than we paid for freight in 2008. Based on our current forecast, this shipment of SR should provide sufficient raw materials to meet most of our US production requirements for 2009.

However, as a result of our projected decrease in worldwide sales of HITOX, our Malaysian operation will be required to decrease their SR production from the 2008 production level of four months to only two months in 2009. As a result, we expect to incur additional costs related to idle facility expense in 2009 at our Malaysian operation of approximately $250,000 or 25% as compared to 2008.

TOR Minerals International, Inc. and Subsidiaries
Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operation

At our US operation, we are scaling back our production requirements and reducing costs in 2009. Based on our forecast, we anticipate a reduction in direct and indirect production costs of approximately 30% and a reduction in our SG&A expense of approximately 25%. This is being accomplished through various cost cutting measures, including a reduction in salaries of approximately 20%, elimination of overtime, a reduction in staff and a delay in filling vacant positions. In addition, we are reducing and/or eliminating discretionary spending. Similar cost savings measures have also been implemented at our operations in Malaysia and the Netherlands. However, a portion of the savings may not be immediately recognized due to various laws and regulations relating to termination benefits in these countries. There is no assurance that cost reductions will offset our expected revenue decline in 2009, in which case we would continue to experience a loss from our operations.

Looking to the future

Our strategy focuses on pursuing niche markets for paints, plastics, papers and catalysts applications with high value-added products that produce attractive profit margins and have high barriers to entry by competitors. Our focus is on products that will provide a solid value proposition with our customers and therefore sell at a higher average price and produce more attractive gross margins for TOR. In addition, the high value-added nature of these products allows us to create close partnerships with our customers and develop long-term relationships with recurring and predictable revenue streams.

As we look at our HITOX business going forward, we expect our traditional HITOX business to remain tied to the strength of the US and global economy. Our key growth strategy is to introduce newly developed colored pigments that will expand our addressable market and increase our sales potential. We are applying technologies developed in our Netherlands operation to create new high performance fillers and pigments. Unlike our traditional HITOX products, our new products have high performance characteristics, much broader end market applications and provide for value-added premium pricing.

We introduced four new colored pigments that are heat stable and branded these new products under the name TIOPREM in 2008. In addition, we introduced our new HALTEX line, OPTILOAD, in late 2008. While the decline in the economy has impacted the introduction of these new products, we anticipate that we will be able to sell these products in plastics, top coat paint and paper applications, which were not previously available to us with our traditional HITOX and HALTEX products. However, we believe that these products have the potential to greatly expand our addressable market and we hope that they will be contributing to our results in the second half of 2009.

Actual results could differ materially from those indicated by these forward looking statements because of various risks and uncertainties. See the information under the caption “Forward Looking Information” appearing below the Table of Contents of this report.

Results of Operations

Net Sales: Consolidated net sales for the quarter ended June 30, 2009 decreased approximately $1,262,000 or 18% compared to the second quarter 2008 primarily due to decreases in HITOX, ALUPREM and BARTEX sales. For the six month period ended June 30, 2009, consolidated net sales decreased approximately $2,305,000 or 17% primarily due to decreases in both HITOX and BARTEX sales which were partially offset by an increase in ALUPREM and HALTEX sales.

Following is a summary of our consolidated products sales for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2009 and 2008 (in thousands). All inter-company sales have been eliminated.

HITOX sales declined 19% in the second quarter 2009 as compared to the same period in 2008. This follows a decline of 49% in the first quarter 2009 as compared to the same period in 2008. HITOX sales increased in the second quarter 2009 at all of the Company’s three operations compared to the first quarter 2009. For the first six months of 2009, sales of HITOX declined by 35% versus the same period a year ago primarily as a result of the weak North American market and the impact of the global economy. While the economy continues to impact our current year’s sales, many customers have depleted their inventory held at the end of 2008 and are now starting to order replacement inventory.

ALUPREM sales were 19% lower in the second quarter 2009 than the second quarter 2008, primarily due to a decline in sales in Europe of approximately 42% which was partially offset by an increase in US sales primarily due to a change in the order pattern of a significant US customer. For the first six months of 2009, ALUPREM sales increased 15% primarily due to a change in the ordering pattern of a significant US customer.

BARTEX sales declined approximately 24% during the second quarter 2009 as compared to the same period in 2008. For the first six months of 2009, BARTEX sales decreased 30% compared to the same period of 2008. The decrease in BARTEX sales is primarily as a result of the downturn in the US economy.

HALTEX sales increased 17% during the second quarter 2009 and 15% for the first six months of 2009, in each case as compared to the same periods in 2008. Because our HALTEX product line is not as closely tied to the construction industry, the product sales have not had as great an impact from the economic slowdown as our other products. In addition, sales of our new HALTEX line, OPTILOAD, is gaining acceptance in the marketplace.

Corpus Christi Operation

Our Corpus Christi operation manufactures and sells HITOX, BARTEX and HALTEX to third party customers. In addition, we purchase ALUPREM and HITOX from our subsidiaries, TPT and TMM, for distribution in the Americas. Following is a summary of net sales for our Corpus Christi operation for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2009 and 2008 (in thousands), as well as a summary of the material changes. All inter-company sales have been eliminated.

HITOX – Sales during the second quarter increased 8% and 63% in Canada and South America, respectively, as compared to the same period in 2008; however, US sales trailed the second quarter last year by 20% resulting in a net decrease for the quarter of 14%. Year to date, HITOX sales decreased in the US market, as well as in the balance of North America, Central and South America. The decrease is primarily related to the global decline in the construction industry.
ALUPREM – Increase in US sales of ALUPREM primarily due to a change in the order pattern of a significant customer.
BARTEX – Decrease in US sales of BARTEX primarily related to a decrease in demand from existing customers as they deplete their existing inventory as a result of the US economy.
HALTEX – Increase in US sales of HALTEX primarily related to an increase in customer demand and the growing acceptance of our new product, OPTILOAD, in the marketplace.

Netherlands Operation

Our subsidiary in the Netherlands, TPT, manufactures and sells ALUPREM to third party customers, as well as to our Corpus Christi operation for distribution to our US customers. In addition, TPT purchases HITOX from TMM for distribution in Europe. The following table represents TPT’s ALUPREM and HITOX sales (in thousands) for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2009 and 2008 to third party customers.

ALUPREM – Decrease in European sales of ALUPREM primarily related to a decrease in volume and the effects of the foreign currency exchange rate as the Euro weakens against the USD.
HITOX – Decrease in European sales of HITOX primarily related to impact of the global economy on the construction industry, as well as the effects of the foreign exchange rate.

Other Consolidated Results

Gross Margin: For the three month period ended June 30, 2009, gross margin increased approximately .08% percent, from 14.5% in 2008 to 15.3% in 2009. For the six month periods ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, gross margin increased approximately 2.6%, from 12.2% to 14.8%. The primary factors affecting our gross margin include the mix of products sold during the three and six month periods compared to the same periods in 2008, as well as a reduction in the cost of energy and raw materials. Also contributing to the year to date increase in the gross margin were cost reduction measures implemented during the first quarter 2009, primarily at the US operation, which reduced indirect costs approximately 19% primarily related to a reduction in labor and equipment repairs which were reduced approximately 20% and 31%, respectively, as compared to the same six month period 2008.

Technical Services and Selling, General, Administrative and Expenses (“SG&A”): Total SG&A expenses decreased approximately 37% and 22% during the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2009, respectively, as compared to the comparable periods in 2008, primarily due to a reduction in staff, travel and other discretionary expenses. At the US operation, SG&A decreased approximately 55% and 37%, respectively, compared to the same three and six month periods in 2008 as a result of the Company’s cost cutting initiative implemented during the first quarter 2009. Similar measures have also been implemented at the European and Asian operations.

Interest Expense: Net interest expense increased approximately $5,000 and decreased approximately $27,000 as compared to the same three and six month periods in 2008, respectively. The year to date reduction in interest expense is primarily related to the decrease in long-term debt.

Income Taxes: Income taxes consisted of a foreign deferred tax benefit of approximately $40,000 and state income tax expense of $2,000 for the three month period ended June 30, 2009, compared to state income tax expense of $3,000 for the same three month period in 2008. For the six-month periods ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, we recorded a foreign deferred tax benefit of approximately $75,000 and $33,000, respectively, and state income tax expense of $3,000 and $5,000, respectively. Taxes are based on an estimated annualized consolidated effective rate of 20.6%

Liquidity

Going Concern

As reported in the Company’s Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on May 6, 2009 the Company amended and restated the Credit Agreement with the Bank. Under the terms of the amendment, subject to the Company’s compliance with the terms and conditions contained in the amendment, including revised financial covenants, the Bank agreed not to exercise any of its rights or remedies relating to the existing events of default under the Credit Agreement. The Bank also agreed to extend the maturity date on our Line of Credit (the “Line”) from April 1, 2009 to October 1, 2009. In addition, the amendment modified the maturity date for our real estate term loan (the “Loan”) from November 30, 2010 to October 1, 2009 and our term loan (the “Term Loan”) from May 1, 2012 to October 1, 2009. The Credit Agreement is secured by all of the Company’s assets in the US. The interest rate on the Line, the Loan and the Term Loan was increased from prime plus two percent to prime plus two and one-half percent, which was 5.75% at June 30, 2009. As a result, all of the Company’s debt owed to the Bank matures on October 1, 2009.

Accounts Receivable: Accounts receivable increased $761,000 as compared to an increase of $1,415,000 for the same period in 2008. The increase in accounts receivable is primarily due to stronger sales in the second quarter 2009 as compared to the fourth quarter 2008. Accounts receivable increased $676,000 at the Corpus Christi operation and $158,000 at TMM, offset by a decrease at TPT of $73,000.
Inventories: Inventories decreased $1,191,000 as compared to a decrease of $1,523,000 for the same period in 2008. Inventories at the Corpus Christi operation decreased $1,272,000 primarily related to a decrease in both finished goods and raw materials and TPT’s decreased $144,000 primarily due to a decrease in finished goods. TMM’s inventories increased approximately $225,000 primarily due to an increase in raw materials which was partially offset by a decrease in finished goods.
Other Current Assets: Other current assets increased $527,000 as compared to an increase of $332,000 for the same period in 2008. At the Corpus Christi operation, prepaid expenses increased $188,000 primarily due to insurance; at TPT $50,000 related to prepaid insurance and pension expense; and at TMM $289,000 related to prepaid freight related to a shipment of SR to the Corpus Christi operation.

Corpus Christi Operation: We invested approximately $529,000 for equipment related to new process technologies to convert a majority of our production from natural gas to electricity, as compared to $299,000 for the same period in 2008 for capital maintenance.
Netherlands Operation: We invested approximately $43,000 at TPT for new equipment, as compared to $31,000 for the same period in 2008.
Malaysian Operation: We invested approximately $6,000 at TMM for new equipment, as compared to $1,366,000 for the same period in 2008 for equipment related to new process technologies to convert the energy supply for the production of HITOX from fuel oil to electricity.

Financing Activities

We received $1,544,000 from financing activities during the six month period ended June 30, 2009 as compared to $603,000 for the same period 2008. Significant factors relating to financing activities include the following:

Lines of Credit: Our borrowings on the domestic line of credit increased $1,100,000 primarily for the purpose of financing our new processing equipment and working capital, as compared to a decrease of $125,000 for the same period in 2008 which was primarily to related a decrease in inventory levels. Borrowings at TPT decreased approximately $2,000 primarily for the purpose of financing working capital as compared to an increase of $53,000 for the same period in 2008.
Export Credit Refinancing Facility (ECR): TMM’s borrowings on the ECR increased $15,000 primarily for the purpose of financing working capital as compared to an increase of $365,000 for the same period in 2008.
Capital Leases: Capital leases decreased approximately $43,000 related to lease payments at both the Corpus Christi operation and at TPT. During the same period in 2008, capital leases decreased approximately $17,000 as a result of the acquisition of equipment at the Corpus Christi operation which provided approximately $26,000 offset by a reduction in capital leases, primarily at TPT, of approximately $43,000.
Long-term Debt – Financial Institutions: Long-term debt decreased approximately $496,000 compared to an increase of approximately $345,000 during the same period in 2008. At the Corpus Christi operation, long-term debt decreased $134,000; at TPT $157,000 and at TMM $205,000.
6% Convertible Subordinated Debentures: We received subscription agreements for 59 Units ($1,475,000) of our six percent convertible subordinated debentures with warrants during the second quarter 2009. The proceeds from the first 40 Units ($1 million) were used to reduce inter-company debt between the US operation and TMM related to the purchase of inventory. We have tentatively accepted the subscriptions for an additional 19 Units ($475,000) subject to shareholder approval. The proceeds from these 19 Units are held in restricted cash and will be used to reduce our debt to Bank of America after receiving shareholder approval in August 2009.
Proceeds from Issuance of Common Stock: For the six month period ended June 30, 2009, we did not receive proceeds from the issuance of common stock. This compares to $12,000 received from the exercise of employee stock options for the same period in 2008.
Preferred Stock Dividends: We paid dividends of $30,000 on our Series A convertible preferred stock for both of the six month periods ended June 30, 2009 and 2008.

Part II - Other Information

Item 1.

Legal Proceedings

In late July 2008, we learned that our former chief financial officer, Steven H. Parker, filed a complaint with the Occupational Safety and Health Administration, U.S. Department of Labor. Parker’s complaint was filed on or about July 21, 2008, and alleges that TOR violated the whistleblower provisions of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 by terminating Parker’s employment in response to Parker’s reporting to our CEO and a board member of the negative accounting treatment of a potential transaction. In addition, Parker has claimed that he was terminated for refusing to perform an illegal act in violation of Texas law. Parker subsequently notified the Department of Labor that he intended to bring an action against the Company in the United States District Court for the Southern District of Texas. Because of Parker’s election to proceed in the United States District Court, the Department of Labor has dismissed Parker’s complaint. Relief sought by Parker includes back pay, reinstatement or front pay in lieu of reinstatement and reasonable attorney’s fees and costs. We intend to vigorously defend such legal action.

Item 2.

Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds

As discussed in the our Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on May 6, 2009, we entered into subscription agreements on May 4, 2009, pursuant to which we sold Units (the “Units”) to certain related parties, each Unit consisting of an aggregate principal amount of $25,000 of its six-percent (6%) Convertible Subordinated Debentures due May 4, 2016, which is incorporated herein by reference. Debentures comprising a Unit are convertible into 47,170 shares of our common stock, subject to adjustments for certain events, at an initial conversion price of $0.53 per share. In addition, we also issued to each subscriber of a Unit Warrants to purchase 47,170 shares of common stock. The Warrants may be exercised in whole or in part at any time or from time to time only after we obtain shareholder approval for the issuance of shares upon exercise of the Warrants and on or before the seven year anniversary of the date hereof, unless otherwise extended. If such shareholder approval is not obtained, the Warrants shall remain non-exercisable. The initial exercise price of the Warrants is $0.53.

In addition to the above referenced Debentures, in June 2009 we received subscription agreements from five additional accredited investors for 19 Units for an aggregate purchase price of $475,000. Thomas Pauken, our director and a 2% shareholder, purchased one (1) Unit; and Mark Graber, an 11.7% shareholder, purchased 16 Units. We have accepted these subscription agreements subject to shareholder approval at our annual meeting on August 21, 2009. The proceeds are held in restricted cash and will be used to reduce our debt to the Bank after receiving shareholder approval.

No underwriters were involved in the foregoing offers and sales of securities. These offers and sales were made in reliance upon an exemption from the registration provisions of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), set forth in Section 4(2) under the Securities Act. The offers and sales were made only to :accredited investors” as such term is defined in Regulation D under the Securities Act with whom we had previous relationships and we did not partake in any general solicitation or advertisement. All of the foregoing securities sold in the private placement are deemed restricted securities for purposes of the Security Act.

Item 3.

Defaults Upon Senior Securities

At December 31, 2008 and March 31, 2009, we were not in compliance with certain financial covenants in the Credit Agreement. We received notification from the Bank on March 5, 2009 of the Bank’s decision to terminate the Credit Agreement and require us to pay off all outstanding indebtedness owed to the Bank by April 1, 2009. On April 30, 2009, we amended the Credit Agreement with the Bank. Under the terms of the amendment, subject to our compliance with the terms and conditions contained in the amendment, including revised financial covenants, the Bank agreed not to exercise any of its rights or remedies relating to the existing events of default under the Credit Agreement and to extend the maturity date from April 1, 2009 to October 1, 2009. See “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations – Liquidity” for a discussion of the amendment of the Credit Agreement.
