STATEMENT UNDER OATH OF PRINCIPAL EXECUTIVE OFFICER AND PRINCIPAL FINANCIAL
OFFICER REGARDING FACTS AND CIRCUMSTANCES RELATING TO EXCHANGE ACT FILINGS


I, Robert A. Clausen, principal financial officer of Solutia Inc., state and
attest that:

(1)      To the best of my knowledge, based upon a review of the covered
         reports of Solutia Inc., and, except as corrected or supplemented
         in a subsequent covered report:

         o    no covered report contained an untrue statement of a material
              fact as of the end of the period covered by such report (or in
              the case of a report on Form 8-K or definitive proxy
              materials, as of the date on which it was filed); and

         o    no covered report omitted to state a material fact necessary
              to make the statements in the covered report, in light of the
              circumstances under which they were made, not misleading as of
              the end of the period covered by such report (or in the case
              of a report on Form 8-K or definitive proxy materials, as of
              the date on which it was filed).

(2)      I have reviewed the contents of this statement with the Company's
         audit committee.

(3)      In this statement under oath, each of the following, if filed on or
         before the date of this statement, is a "covered report":

         o    Annual Report on Form 10-K dated March 7, 2002 of Solutia Inc.;

         o    all reports on Form 10-Q, all reports on Form 8-K and all
              definitive proxy materials of Solutia Inc. filed with the
              Commission subsequent to the filing of the Form 10-K identified
              above; and

         o    any amendments to any of the foregoing.
