NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)
NOTE A - BASIS OF PRESENTATION
PolyOne Corporation (PolyOne or Company) was formed on August 31, 2000, from the
consolidation of The Geon Company (Geon) and M.A. Hanna Company (Hanna). The
PolyOne consolidation has been accounted for as a purchase business combination,
with Geon as the acquiring enterprise. Accordingly, the Company's condensed
consolidated statements of operations under generally accepted accounting
principles for the three months and the six months ended June 30, 2000 reflect
only the operating results of Geon prior to the consolidation. A preliminary
assessment of the fair value of the tangible and intangible assets and
liabilities of the former Hanna business has been reflected in both the reported
and pro forma operating results. The purchase price allocation reflected might
be adjusted as estimated fair values of assets acquired and liabilities assumed
are finalized. See Note K regarding a revision recorded in the second quarter of
2001. In connection with the consolidation, each outstanding share of Geon
common stock was converted into two shares of PolyOne and each outstanding share
of Hanna common stock was converted into one share of PolyOne. All per share
data for all periods has been restated to reflect the effects of the conversion.
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been
prepared in accordance with Form 10-Q instructions and in the opinion of
management contain all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals)
necessary to present fairly the financial position, results of operations and
cash flows for the periods presented. The preparation of financial statements in
conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to
make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial
statements and accompanying notes. These interim statements should be read in
conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto incorporated by
reference from the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended
December 31, 2000.
Operating results for the three month and six month periods ended June 30, 2001
are not necessarily indicative of the results expected in subsequent quarters or
for the year ending December 31, 2001.
NOTE B - ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
In July 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Statement
of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 141, "Business Combinations," and
SFAS No. 142, "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets." SFAS 141 requires that the
purchase method be used for all business combinations initiated after June 30,
2001. SFAS 142 requires that goodwill no longer be amortized to earnings, but
instead be reviewed for impairment. The amortization of goodwill ceases upon
adoption of SFAS 142, which for the Company will be January 1, 2002. The Company
is currently evaluating the impact of SFAS 142.
Effective January 1, 2001 the Company adopted the provisions of SFAS No. 133,
"Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities." The standard
requires all derivatives, whether designated in hedging relationships or not, to
be recorded on the balance sheet at fair value. Due to the short-term nature of
the Company's forward exchange contracts at June 30, 2001, the derivatives were
marked to market through the income statement consistent with the Company's
current accounting policy for these contracts. Accordingly, the adoption of SFAS
133 had no impact on the Company's results of operations or financial position.

NOTE D - INCOME TAXES
The 2001 effective income tax rate for the six months year-to-date was 36.6%
versus 44.1% at the end of the first quarter 2001. The 2001 second quarter
reduction is principally due to the effect of non-deductible goodwill and
relative level to total earnings. The year-to-date effective tax rate resulted
in the second quarter's tax provision including an adjustment of $2.9 million of
additional income tax expense, which lowered the quarter's earnings.
NOTE E - INVESTMENT IN EQUITY AFFILIATE
The Company owns 24% of OxyVinyls, LP (OxyVinyls), a manufacturer and marketer
of PVC resins. OxyVinyls is the largest producer of PVC resins in North America.
The following table presents OxyVinyls' summarized results of operations for the
six months ended June 30, 2001 and 2000, and summarized balance sheet

OxyVinyls' loss during the first half of fiscal 2001 reported above includes a
first quarter special, pre-tax charge of $4.4 million, all of which related to
involuntary severance, outplacement costs and other employee related separation
benefits. The Company's proportionate share of this special item was $1.0
million.
NOTE F - SHAREHOLDERS' EQUITY
Effective May 2, 2001, the Board of Directors of the Company approved the
termination of both the M.A. Hanna Associates Ownership Trust and The Geon
Company Share Ownership Trust to simplify the administration of the Company's
stock-based compensation plans. PolyOne shares remaining in the two trusts will
be reacquired by the Company in accordance with the terms of the trusts and held
in treasury. The termination of the two trusts does not have any impact on
Company earnings, earnings per share or shareholders' equity.
During the first half of fiscal 2001, the Compensation Committee of PolyOne's
Board of Directors authorized the issuance of 532,800 shares of restricted
PolyOne stock to certain PolyOne executives. The restricted shares were valued
at $7.22 per share and were issued from The Geon Company Share Ownership Trust.
Shares vest and restrictions lapse three years from the date of grant.
Accordingly, the Company has recorded the grants as unearned compensation to be
recognized as compensation expense over the three-year vesting period.

Basic earnings (loss) per common share is computed as net income (loss)
available to common shareholders divided by weighted average basic shares
outstanding. Diluted earnings (loss) per common share is computed as net income
(loss) available to common shareholders divided by weighted average diluted
shares outstanding.
As disclosed in Note A above, the historical share amounts and related per share
data have been restated to reflect the conversion of each outstanding share of
Geon common stock into two common shares of PolyOne.
NOTE H - EMPLOYEE SEPARATION AND PLANT PHASE-OUT
In June 2001, the Company announced its plans to form four Centers of
Manufacturing Excellence (CMEs), as the first step in its plan to modernize its
North American Plastic Compounds and Colors (PCC) manufacturing network. Three
engineered materials plants have been slated for closure, following the
modernization and consolidation at the CME sites. Related to this announcement,
the Company has provided $4.9 million within purchase accounting for cash
employee separation and plant phase-out costs. An additional $6.8 million has
been accrued for asset write-downs, primarily property and equipment, associated
with the plant closings. Approximately 200 positions will be eliminated with the
closings. At June 30, 2001, the remaining accrual was $4.9 million, representing
future cash severance and plant phase-out costs. The Company projects the plants
will be closed in the second half of 2002.
In June 2001, the Company also announced its plan to close its Elastomers
compounding plant in Kingstree, South Carolina. The plant closing will be
included as part of the acquisition purchase accounting, for which the accrual
for employee separation and plant phase-out costs totaled $5.6 million. An
additional $5.5 million has been accrued for property and equipment write-downs
associated with the plant closing. At June 30, 2001, the remaining accrual was
$5.2 million, representing future cash severance and plant closing costs. The
Company projects the plant will be closed by the end of the third quarter 2001,
with the elimination of approximately 145 positions.
In March 2001, the Company announced its plan to eliminate 55 administrative and
manufacturing positions at three sites within the engineered films operations.
As a result, the Company recorded a special, pre-tax charge of $1.9 million, all
of which related to involuntary severance and other employee related separation
benefits. At June 30, 2001 the remaining accrual was $0.4 million representing
future cash severance and benefit payments. As of June 30, 2001, all planned
positions had been eliminated, 58 positions in total.
In January 2001, the Company announced its plan to close four plastic compounds
and colors operating plants within the United States, transferring production to
other Company manufacturing sites with available capacity and eliminating 65
positions. Related to this announcement, the Company has provided $1.7 million
within purchase accounting in addition recording a special, pre-tax charge of
$7.0 million. The charge to earnings included a $3.8
7
9
million non-cash write-off of manufacturing assets, one-time cash involuntary
employee separation benefits of $2.1 million, and anticipated cash plant
phase-out costs of $1.1 million. At June 30, 2001 the Company has remaining
reserves of $1.9 million representing future cash payments of employee
separation and plant phase-out costs. As of June 30, 2001 two plants have been
closed and 51 positions were eliminated. Remaining plant closures and
eliminations are projected to occur prior to the end of the fourth quarter of
2001.
During 2000, the Company recorded employee separation and plant phase-out
charges of $3.4 million ($0.6 million of which pertained to inventory write-offs
and was recorded in cost of sales) relating to the closing of an engineered
films plant in Massachusetts. The accrual for employee separation and plant
phase-out costs was $2.1 million and $1.4 million for the periods ended December
31, 2000 and June 30, 2001, respectively. The plant closed in February 2001 with
the elimination of all 60 positions in the first six months of 2001.
NOTE I - MERGER AND INTEGRATION COSTS
During the first half of fiscal 2001 the Company recorded $5.8 million for
certain costs associated with the consolidation and integration of Geon and
Hanna. The majority of this cost represents executive severance in connection
with a change in control resulting from the consolidation.
NOTE J - FINANCING ARRANGEMENTS
In the first half of fiscal 2001, the Company's accounts receivable sale
facility was increased $150 million to $250 million. As of June 30, 2001, $244
million of this facility was being utilized. During May 2001 the Company also
obtained amendments to the October 2000 revolving credit agreements, which
included a $100 million reduction in available borrowings from an aggregate $400
million to $300 million, effectively offsetting some of the increase in the
receivable sale facility.
NOTE K - PURCHASE PRICE ALLOCATION
As a result of the multiple business asset restructuring initiatives, an
adjustment to the PolyOne formation initial purchase price allocation was
recorded in the second quarter of 2001. A $23.7 million increase was offset by
the write down of property, plant and equipment and the accrual of employee
separation and plant closure costs. The revision had no material impact on
earnings.
NOTE L - SEGMENT INFORMATION
The Company operates primarily in four business segments: the Performance
Plastics segment, the Elastomers and Additives (E&A) segment, the Distribution
segment, and the Resin and Intermediates (R&I) segment. Inter-segment sales are
accounted for at prices generally approximating those for similar transactions
with unaffiliated customers and the elimination of inter-segment sales revenue
is included in the "Other" segment. Certain other corporate expenses and
eliminations are included in the "Other" segment. Business segment assets
consist primarily of customer receivables, inventories, net property and
goodwill. Cash, accounts receivable sold to a third party and certain other
assets not identified with a specific segment are included in the "Other"
segment.

NOTE M - COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
There are pending or threatened against the Company or its subsidiaries various
claims,lawsuits and administrative proceedings, all arising from the ordinary
course of business with respect to employment, commercial, product liability
and environmental matters, which seek damages or other remedies. The Company
believes that any liability that may finally be determined will not have a
material adverse effect on the Company's consolidated financial position.
The Company has accrued for environmental liabilities based upon estimates
prepared by its environmental engineers and consultants to cover probable
future environmental expenditures related to previously contaminated sited. The
accrual, totaling approximately $56.9 million at June 30, 2001, represents the
Company's best estimate for the remaining remediation costs based upon
information and technology currently available. Depending upon the results of
future testing and the ultimate remediation alternatives to be undertaken at
these sites, it is possible that the ultimate costs to be incurred could be
more than the accrual recorded by as much as $19.0 million. The Company's
estimate of the liability may be revised as new regulations and technologies
are developed or additional information is obtained. Additional information
related to the Company's environmental liabilities is included in Note N to
the consolidated financial statements incorporated by reference from the
Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2000.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
OF OPERATIONS
PolyOne Corporation (PolyOne or Company) was formed on August 31, 2000, from the
consolidation of The Geon Company (Geon) and M.A. Hanna Company (Hanna). The
PolyOne consolidation has been accounted for as a purchase business combination,
with Geon as the acquiring enterprise. Accordingly, PolyOne's "Reported Results"
under generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) for the three and six
months ended June 30, 2000 reflect only the operating results of former Geon.
In the commentary that follows, "Pro Forma Operating Results" will also be
provided because of the significant and pervasive impact of the consolidation on
comparative data. The pro forma operating results assume that the consolidation
of Geon and Hanna occurred prior to the periods presented. Further, the pro
forma operating results assume that Hanna's sale of its Cadillac Plastic
business in the second quarter of 2000 occurred prior to the periods presented.
A preliminary assessment of the fair value of the tangible and intangible assets
and liabilities of the former Hanna business on August 31, 2000 has been
reflected in both the 2001 reported results and pro forma operating results. The
purchase price allocation reflected may be adjusted as estimated fair values of
assets acquired and liabilities assumed are finalized. The pro forma operating
results do not include future profit improvements and cost savings or associated
costs, including restructuring costs expected to result from the integration of
Geon and Hanna. The pro forma operating results are provided for illustrative
purposes only, and may not necessarily indicate the operating results that would
have occurred or future operating results of PolyOne.
Below is a summary of consolidated operating results showing both the "Reported
Results" for the three and six months ended June 30, 2001 and 2000 and the "Pro
Forma Results" for the three and six months ended June 30, 2000. Also summarized
are the special items included in these periods.

Senior management uses (1) operating income before special items and/or (2)
operating income before special items and depreciation and amortization (similar
to EBITDA, which is used by stock market analysts) to assess performance and
allocate resources to business segments. Special items include gains and losses
associated with specific strategic initiatives such as restructuring or
consolidation of operations, gains or losses attributable to acquisitions or
formation of joint ventures, and certain other one-time items. In addition, the
Company's management uses net income before special items as a measure of the
Company's overall earnings performance. Operating income before special items
and net income before special items are non-GAAP measures and may not be
comparable to financial performance measures presented by other companies.

TOTAL COMPANY REPORTED RESULTS
Total second quarter 2001 sales were $695.4 million or $334.2 million higher
than second quarter 2000 sales on a reported basis. Sales in the second quarter
of 2001 for each business segment reflected continued weak demand across most
markets but particularly in markets related to auto production. First half of
2001 sales were $1,405.1
13
15
million, $698.4 million more than first half 2000 on a reported basis. Second
quarter and first half 2001 sales are below the same period in 2000 on a
comparable pro forma basis, see pro forma commentary below.
The operating income for the second quarter of 2001 was $16.8 million compared
to income of $30.4 million in the second quarter of 2000. Operating income
before special items, depreciation and amortization (OIBSIDA) was $44.3 million
in the second quarter of 2001 and essentially flat with the second quarter of
2000. OIBSIDA was relatively the same for the second quarter of 2001 and 2000
due to a decrease in the performance in Resin & Intermediates of $13.7, which
was offset primarily by the increase of $5.5 for Performance Platics and the
inclusion of $7.6 for Elastomers & Additives. Second quarter 2001 OIBSIDA is
below the same period in 2000 on a comparable pro forma basis, see commentary
below.
The operating loss for the first half of 2001 was $6.5 million versus $60.1
million operating profit during the first half of 2000 on a reported basis.
OIBSIDA was $62.6 million in the first half of 2001 compared to $83.4 million in
the first half of 2000. The primary driver for the lower results period to
period was the deterioration of the Resin & Intermediates earnings by $44.6
million.
TOTAL COMPANY RESULTS VERSUS 2000 PRO FORMA
Total sales of $695.4 million in the second quarter 2001 were 17% below the pro
forma second quarter of 2000. The decline in second quarter sales from 2000 pro
forma to 2001 was across all business units and related to weakness in the
underlying markets and the U.S. economy, in particular automotive and
electronics. Automotive production was down 12% from the second quarter of 2000
to the second quarter of 2001. It is reported that demand in the domestic
manufacturing sector is at the lowest level seen since the 1991 recession.
Total sales for the first half of 2001 were $1,405.1 million versus $1,658.2
million for the first half of 2000 on a pro forma basis, a 15% decline. The year
over year decline in sales reflects the tremendous change in the strength of the
economy, particularly in the automotive and electronic markets. The housing
market also weakened by 3% year over year. It is estimated that the sales volume
decline from the first half of 2000 to the first half of 2001 negatively
impacted operating income by approximately $70 million.
The operating income in the second quarter of 2001 of $16.8 million was $35.3
million lower versus a pro forma second quarter 2000 income of $52.1. Second
quarter 2001 OIBSIDA of $44.3 million was $38.5 million lower than second
quarter 2000 pro forma OIBSIDA of $82.8 million. The first half 2001 operating
loss was $6.5 million versus pro forma income of $103.2 in first half 2000 and
the first half 2001 OIBSIDA was $62.6 million versus pro forma first half 2000
OIBSIDA of $160.0 million. The quarterly and half year decline in earnings in
2001 from 2000 pro forma results was driven by lower volume across all
businesses and weaker results in the Resin & Intermediates equity earnings which
were partially offset by cost reductions.

COMMENTARY ON BUSINESS SEGMENT OPERATING RESULTS
PERFORMANCE PLASTICS had second quarter 2001 sales of $484.6 million, which were
17% below pro forma second quarter 2000. A breakdown of the 2001 second quarter
segment sales, by primary product group, is as follows:
% Change
2Q01 Sales
vs.
% of ------------
Sales 2Q00 PF
------------ ------------
Vinyl Compounds 37% -23%
Engineered Materials 19% -15%
Color & Additives 21% -15%
Specialty Resin & Formulators 14% -12%
Engineered Films 9% -14%
------------ ------------
Performance Plastics 100% -17%
============ ============
International sales comprised 19% of the Performance Plastics segment.
International sales decreased in the second quarter of 2001 by 11% from second
quarter pro forma 2000. The second quarter decrease from pro forma 2000 to 2001
was due to European automotive and electronic market weakness, an unfavorable
EURO exchange impact of 6% and Asian weakness related to lower export sales and
to the electronics industry slowdown. International sales were 20% of
Performance Plastics for the first half of 2001, down 4% in total revenue from
pro forma first half 2000.
The total Performance Plastics segment's 17% lower second quarter 2001 sales
versus pro forma 2000 was driven primarily by lower US auto production and
electronics market (wire and cable and business machines). In addition the
strength of PVC resin during the second quarter 2000 drove even higher the
compound demand as customers switched to powder compounds when resin was not
available, which also impacted the mix of products and selling prices. The
decrease in powder compounds sales of 32% from second quarter 2000 to second
quarter 2001 was an important factor in the 23% drop in vinyl compounds sales
from second quarter 2000 to second quarter 2001. Total Performance Plastics
segment's first half sales of $973.4 million was 16% below 2000 first half pro
forma sales driven primarily by automotive production (down 15% year over year)
and the electronics markets. Year to year sales were also reduced by housing
starts averaging 3% lower for the first half of 2001 versus the first half of
2000 which impacted sales to applications such as wire and cable, windows and
flooring.
OIBSIDA was $36.5 million in the second quarter of 2001 and $16.7 million below
pro forma second quarter of 2000. OIBSIDA for the first half of 2001 was $62.5
million, a $37.0 million decline from the pro forma first half of 2000. Compared
to 2000, the 2001 second quarter and half year decrease in OIBSIDA was primarily
sales volume driven.
ELASTOMERS & PERFORMANCE ADDITIVES sales were $105.8 million in the second
quarter of 2001. The second quarter 2001 sales were 14% below the pro forma
second quarter 2000 and first half 2001 sales of $215.5 million were 16% below
pro forma first half 2000. In both cases, the change from the period a year ago
was primarily driven by reduced domestic automotive production and tire tolling
impacting both the elastomers and the performance additives markets.
OIBSIDA in the second quarter of 2001 was $7.6 million compared to $11.8 million
in the pro forma second quarter of 2000. Second quarter 2001 earnings versus pro
forma second quarter 2000 earnings were lower primarily due to the decrease in
auto related shipments. Continuing "LEAN" manufacturing initiatives have
resulted in lower manufacturing costs versus last year, but have not been enough
to offset the lower volumes. OIBSIDA in the first half of 2001 was $14.6 million
versus $25.8 million in the pro forma first half of 2000, again related to
automotive production declines and economic conditions reducing demand.
16
18
DISTRIBUTION sales in the second quarter of 2001 were $117.8 million and 11%
below pro forma second quarter 2000. Sales in the first half of 2001 were $238.9
million, 9% below the same pro forma period last year. The change year over year
for both the quarter and the half year was driven by volume declines.
OIBSIDA in the second quarter of 2001 was $0.9 million and $4.2 million below
pro forma second quarter of 2000. OIBSIDA in the first half of 2001 was $2.8
million, $6.1 million lower than the same pro forma period last year. Year over
year changes for the quarter and half year were driven by lower sales volumes
and margins, partially offset by cost benefits related to consolidating
facilities.
RESIN & INTERMEDIATES (R&I) operating income before special items, consisting of
equity income from joint ventures, allocated overhead support cost and cost
associated with past operations was $2.1 million for the second quarter of 2001.
The 2001 second quarter operating income was $13.7 million lower than the pro
forma second quarter 2000 earnings, due primarily to decreased earnings from
PolyOne's 24% investment in OxyVinyls. PolyOne's equity earnings from OxyVinyls
in the second quarter 2001 and pro forma second quarter 2000 was income (before
special charges) of $5.3 million and $16.7 million, respectively. The first half
2001 operating income for the resins and intermediates business segment was a
loss of $12.3 million, a $44.6 million decline from the same period last year.
The primary change was OxyVinyls' results driven by lower PVC resin volumes and
margins as well as substantially higher energy costs that adversely affected
OxyVinyls' chlor-alkali business.
Domestic PVC resin industry demand continued to be weak as effective capacity
utilization approximated 87% in second quarter 2001 compared to 97% in the
second quarter of 2000. Domestic PVC resin industry capacity utilization for
the first half of 2001 was 88% compared to 97% in the first half of 2000. During
the second quarter of 2001 versus second quarter 2000, lower capacity
utilization resulted in lower average domestic PVC resin price of approximately
$0.06/lb. However, the lower second quarter 2001 resin selling price was offset
by lower ethylene and chlorine cost, resulting in industry resin spreads
(selling prices of PVC resin less the cost of ethylene and chlorine) that were
slightly above the same quarter last year. The lower second quarter 2001
OxyVinyls' earnings versus a year ago resulted primarily from lower sales
demand and increased natural gas cost. Higher natural gas cost negatively
impacted the quarter's equity earnings by approximately $3 million versus
second quarter 2000.
OTHER consists primarily of corporate governance costs that are not allocated to
business segments. These unallocated costs before special items were $4.1
million in the second quarter of 2001 and $8.6 million for the first six months
of 2001.
CAPITAL RESOURCES AND LIQUIDITY
For the first half of 2001, the Company generated $229.4 million of cash from
operating and investing activities. Operating activities contributed $258.6
million of cash driven by a $236.0 million reduction in operating working
capital. The reduction in operating working capital was comprised of a $143.9
million increase in the sale of accounts receivable plus a $92.1 million
reduction that resulted from management initiatives. Approximately one-half of
the capital expenditures in the first six months of 2001 were in support of
three key initiatives: projectOne (common SAP system platform), Smart$ource
(leveraging indirect or non-material purchases with ARIBA software) and
Performance Plastics manufacturing reconfiguration.
During the first half of 2001, the Company's accounts receivable sale facility
was increased to $250 million. As of June 30, 2001, $244 million of this
facility was being utilized. During the quarter ended June 30, 2001, the Company
obtained amendments to the October 2000 revolving credit agreements, which
resulted in a $100 million reduction in available borrowings from an aggregate
$400 million to $300 million, effectively offsetting some of the increase in the
receivable sale facility.
Capital expenditures for 2001 are projected to be between $80 million and $85
million. Management intends to continue to fund key strategic initiatives, such
as projectOne, reconfiguring the manufacturing assets of the Performance
Plastics business, and Smart$ource.
Cash used by financing activities during the first half of 2001 reflect a
reduction in short-term debt and the payment of dividends.
17
19
For the foreseeable future, the Company believes it will have sufficient funds
from operations and existing credit facilities and other available permitted
borrowings to support dividends, debt service requirements, and normal capital
and operating expenditures.
ENVIRONMENTAL MATTERS
The Company is subject to various laws and regulations concerning environmental
matters. The Company is committed to a long-term environmental protection
program that reduces releases of hazardous materials into the environment as
well as to the remediation of identified existing environmental concerns.
The Company has been notified by federal and state environmental agencies and by
private parties that it may be a potentially responsible party in connection
with several environmental sites. The Company has accrued $56.9 million to cover
future environmental remediation expenditures, and does not believe any of the
matters either individually or in the aggregate will have a material adverse
effect on its capital expenditures, earnings, cash flow or liquidity. The
accrual represents the Company's best estimate for the remaining remediation
costs, based upon information and technology currently available. Depending upon
the results of future testing and the ultimate remediation alternatives taken at
these sites, it is possible that the ultimate costs to be incurred could be more
or less than the accrual at June 30, 2001, by as much as $19.0 million or $15.0
million, respectively. Certain factors that may affect these forward-looking
