Pursuant to Section 9(m) of the amended and restated terms and conditions of the Euronotes, contained in Schedule 1 to the Fiscal Agency Agreement, as further amended by Amendment No. 1 to the Fiscal Agency Agreement and Terms and Conditions of Notes (dated as of November 9, 2004), SESA agreed to certain financial reporting requirements including, among other things, filing quarterly consolidating and consolidated financial statements, absent footnotes, of SESA and its subsidiaries with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") on Form 8-K within 60 days after each quarter end, or 110 days after the fourth fiscal quarter, commencing with the quarter ended March 31, 2004 (referred to hereafter as "Financial Statements") and to include in each such Form 8-K a narrative discussion and analysis in reasonable detail of the business, financial condition, results of operations and liquidity of SESA and its subsidiaries as of the end of such fiscal quarter (and, in the case of the fourth quarter, for the fiscal year), together with a brief description of the material developments in the business of SESA and its subsidiaries over such fiscal period. The unaudited Financial Statements and Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations contained in Exhibits 99.1 and 99.2, respectively, satisfy these reporting requirements for the quarter ended September 30, 2005.

The Financial Statements include the accounts of SESA and its subsidiaries and all significant intercompany transactions, and balances have been eliminated in consolidation. These Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and notes to consolidated financial statements included in the Solutia Inc. 2004 Annual Report on Form 10-K, filed with the SEC on March 10, 2005.
