Case Nos. 03-17948 (PCB) through 03-17962 (PCB)
(Debtors in Possession)
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1. NATURE OF OPERATIONS AND BANKRUPTCY PROCEEDINGS
Nature of Operations
Solutia Inc., together with its subsidiaries (referred to herein as
"Solutia", the "Solutia Group" or the "Company"), is a global manufacturer
and marketer of a variety of high-performance chemical-based materials.
Solutia is a world leader in performance films for laminated safety glass
and after-market applications; specialty products such as water treatment
chemicals, heat transfer fluids and aviation hydraulic fluids; and an
integrated family of nylon products including high-performance polymers and
fibers.
Prior to September 1, 1997, Solutia was a wholly-owned subsidiary
of the former Monsanto Company (now known as Pharmacia Corporation, a
wholly-owned subsidiary of Pfizer, Inc.). On September 1, 1997, Pharmacia
distributed all of the outstanding shares of common stock of Solutia as a
dividend to Pharmacia stockholders (the "spinoff"). As a result of the
spinoff, on September 1, 1997, Solutia became an independent publicly held
company and its operations ceased to be owned by Pharmacia. A net deficiency
of assets of $113 million resulted from the spinoff.
Proceedings Under Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code
On December 17, 2003, Solutia Inc. and its 14 U.S. subsidiaries
(collectively, "Debtors") filed voluntary petitions for reorganization under
Chapter 11 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code in the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the
Southern District of New York. The cases were consolidated for the purpose
of joint administration and were assigned case number 03-17949 (PCB).
Solutia's subsidiaries outside the United States were not included in the
Chapter 11 filing.
The filing was made to restructure Solutia's balance sheet by
reducing indebtedness to appropriate levels, to streamline operations and
reduce costs, in order to allow Solutia to emerge from Chapter 11 as a
viable going concern, and to obtain relief from the negative financial
impact of liabilities for litigation, environmental remediation and certain
postretirement benefits and liabilities under operating contracts, all of
which were assumed by Solutia at the time of the spinoff (collectively,
"legacy liabilities"). These factors, combined with the weakened state of
the chemical manufacturing sector, general economic conditions and
continuing high, volatile energy and crude oil costs have been an obstacle
to Solutia's financial stability and success.
Under Chapter 11, Solutia is operating its businesses as a
debtor-in-possession ("DIP") under bankruptcy court protection from
creditors and claimants. Since the Chapter 11 filing, all orders sufficient
to enable Solutia to conduct normal business activities, including the
approval of Solutia's DIP financing, have been entered by the bankruptcy
court. While Solutia is subject to Chapter 11, all transactions not in the
ordinary course of business require the prior approval of the bankruptcy
court.
As a consequence of the Chapter 11 filing, pending litigation
against the Debtors is generally stayed, and no party may take any action to
collect its pre-petition claims except pursuant to an order of the
bankruptcy court. November 30, 2004 was the last date by which holders of
pre-petition claims
10
against the Debtors could file proofs of claim with respect to such claims.
Any holder of a claim that was required to file a proof of claim by November
30, 2004, and did not do so, may be barred from asserting such claim against
the Debtors and, accordingly, may not be able to participate in any
distribution with respect to such claim. Differences between claim amounts
identified by the Debtors and proofs of claim filed by claimants will be
investigated and resolved in connection with the Debtors' claims resolution
process, and only holders of claims that are ultimately allowed for purposes
of the Chapter 11 case will be entitled to distributions. Solutia has not
yet fully completed its analysis of all the proofs of claim. Because the
settlement terms of allowed claims are subject to a confirmed plan of
reorganization, the ultimate distribution with respect to allowed claims is
not presently ascertainable.
On June 7, 2005, Solutia reached an agreement-in-principle with
Monsanto Company ("Monsanto") and the Official Committee of Unsecured
Creditors in the Debtors' Chapter 11 case (the "Unsecured Creditors'
Committee") that will serve as a framework for the Debtors' plan of
reorganization. The agreement-in-principle is subject to the negotiation of
definitive documents, approval by Solutia's board of directors and various
other conditions and contingencies, some of which are not within the control
of Solutia, Monsanto or the Unsecured Creditors' Committee. Until a plan of
reorganization consistent with the terms of the agreement-in-principle is
confirmed by the bankruptcy court, the terms of the agreement-in-principle
are not binding upon any party.
Under the agreement-in-principle, Solutia would emerge from
bankruptcy as an independent publicly held company. The
agreement-in-principle provides for $250 million of new investment in a
reorganized Solutia which would be used to pay retiree benefits to those who
retired prior to the spinoff, certain environmental remediation obligations
of Solutia and other legacy liabilities. The $250 million would be raised in
a rights offering to the Debtors' unsecured creditors. Monsanto would be
obligated to backstop the rights offering, exercising any rights not
exercised by the unsecured creditors.
The agreement-in-principle also provides that Monsanto would pay
environmental remediation costs at sites that have not been owned or
operated by Solutia, and to which waste has not been sent, since the
spinoff, provides a mechanism for sharing between Monsanto and Solutia
responsibility for environmental liabilities at certain sites adjacent to
the Anniston, Alabama, and Sauget, Illinois, plant locations, and provides
that Monsanto would contribute $107 million, less certain expenses incurred,
and litigation settlement costs paid, by Monsanto during the course of
Solutia's Chapter 11 case, to make distributions to the holders of certain
unsecured claims, including current tort and other legacy litigation claims.
The agreement-in-principle provides that Solutia will continue to pay its
annual installment and education fund obligations relating to the August
2003 Anniston polychlorinated biphenyls ("PCBs") settlement and education
fund obligations relating to the Anniston Partial Consent Decree.
The agreement-in-principle provides for pay-off of Solutia's
secured debt and debtor-in-possession financing from an exit financing
package to be arranged by Solutia and does not require termination of
Solutia's pension plans. However, the agreement-in-principle does not
provide for distributions to the holders of Solutia's existing equity.
Solutia's existing shares of common stock, as well as options and warrants
to purchase its common stock, would be cancelled and holders of Solutia's
common stock, including options and warrants to purchase Solutia's common
stock, would receive no consideration for that stock or those options and
warrants. Although the agreement-in-principle does not provide for any
distributions to holders of Solutia's existing equity, the Official
Committee of Equity Security Holders in Solutia's bankruptcy case has filed
a complaint against Pharmacia and Monsanto and an objection to the proofs of
claim filed by Monsanto and Pharmacia in Solutia's bankruptcy, arguing that
holders of Solutia's existing equity are entitled to some form of
distribution.
Although the agreement-in-principle provides for distributions of
common stock in a reorganized Solutia to holders of allowed unsecured
claims, Solutia is unable to predict what recovery its plan of
11
reorganization will provide to these holders of unsecured claims. The
ultimate ownership interests in the reorganized Solutia held by Monsanto and
other holders of unsecured claims will depend on, among other factors, the
amount of allowed unsecured claims in the bankruptcy case and the number of
rights exercised by unsecured creditors in the rights offering.
Prior to exiting from Chapter 11, the bankruptcy court must confirm
a plan of reorganization that satisfies the requirements of the U.S.
Bankruptcy Code. As provided by the U.S. Bankruptcy Code, Solutia had the
exclusive right to propose a plan of reorganization for 120 days following
the Chapter 11 filing date. The bankruptcy court has subsequently approved
several extensions of the exclusivity period, the most recent of which is
set to expire on April 10, 2006. Although Solutia expects to receive further
extensions of the exclusivity period, no assurance can be given that any
such future extension requests will be granted by the bankruptcy court.
Solutia plans to file with the bankruptcy court a plan of
reorganization and disclosure statement consistent with the terms of the
agreement-in-principle that provide for Solutia's emergence from bankruptcy
as a going concern. There can be no assurance, however, that such a plan of
reorganization would be confirmed by the bankruptcy court or that such plan
would be implemented successfully.
Basis of Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements of the Solutia Group include
the accounts of Solutia Inc. and its majority-owned U.S. and non-U.S.
subsidiaries. The non-U.S. subsidiaries did not commence Chapter 11 cases.
The consolidated financial statements of the Solutia Chapter 11 Debtors
include the accounts of Solutia Inc. and its majority-owned U.S.
subsidiaries, with investments in non-U.S. subsidiaries accounted for on the
cost basis. In each case, all significant intercompany transactions and
balances have been eliminated in consolidation. Companies in which Solutia
has a significant interest but not a controlling interest are accounted for
under the equity method of accounting and included in investments in
subsidiaries and affiliates in the statement of consolidated financial
position. Solutia's proportionate share of these companies' net earnings or
losses is reflected in equity earnings (loss) from affiliates in the
consolidated statement of operations. In accordance with Financial
Accounting Standards Board Interpretation No. 46, Consolidation of Variable
Interest Entities, variable interest entities in which Solutia is the
primary beneficiary are consolidated within the consolidated financial
statements.
Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in
financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles in the United States of America have been condensed or
omitted for purposes of this Operating Report. The consolidated statement of
operations for any interim period is not necessarily indicative of the
results that may be expected for a quarter, full year, or any future interim
period.
Liquidity
At December 31, 2005, total liquidity for the Solutia Group was
approximately $238 million, consisting of $107 million of cash and DIP
facility availability of $131 million. At December 31, 2005, total liquidity
for the Solutia Chapter 11 Debtors was approximately $149 million,
consisting of $18 million of cash and DIP facility availability of $131
million.
12
2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The significant accounting policies are consistent with those
listed in the Company's 2004 Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the
Securities and Exchange Commission on March 10, 2005 with the exception of
Solutia's change in accounting principle in 2005 related specifically to the
adoption of FASB issued Interpretation No. 47, Accounting for Conditional
Asset Retirement Obligations - an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 143
("FIN 47"). FIN 47 clarifies that the term "conditional asset retirement
obligation" as used in Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 143,
Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations ("SFAS No. 143"), refers to a
legal obligation to perform an asset retirement activity in which the timing
and (or) method of settlement are conditional on a future event that may or
may not be within the control of the entity. The impact of adoption resulted
in a charge of $3 million recorded as a cumulative effect of change in
accounting principle (net of tax) in the Statement of Consolidated
Operations in 2005.
3. SUPPLEMENTAL INFORMATION - STATEMENT OF CONSOLIDATED CASH FLOWS
Restructuring Expenses and Other Unusual Items
Month Ended December 31, 2005
- -----------------------------
Restructuring expenses and other unusual items included in the
consolidated statement of operations and the statement of consolidated cash
flows were approximately $12 million for the month ended December 31, 2005.
These charges in the month ended December 31, 2005 consisted of
approximately $10 million of pension settlement charges, approximately $1
million of charges related to Solutia's equity affiliates and $1 million of
restructuring costs related principally to severance and retraining costs.
Year Ended December 31, 2005
- ----------------------------
Restructuring expenses and other unusual items included in the
consolidated statement of operations and the statement of consolidated cash
flows in the year-ended December 31, 2005 included (i) $53 million of net
one-time gains related to the Solutia's equity affiliates including a
one-time gain of $50 million related to the sale of a majority of Astaris
LLC's assets to Israel Chemicals Limited and a one-time, non-operational
gain of $5 million at the Flexsys joint venture, partially offset by $2
million of various restructuring charges at Flexsys; (ii) net pension and
OPEB curtailment and settlement charges of approximately $13 million; and
(iii) restructuring costs of $2 million related principally to severance and
retraining costs.
4. SUPPLEMENTAL INFORMATION - YEAR-TO-DATE RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Solutia's results of operations for the year ended December 31,
2005 were positively impacted by higher net sales, lower charges in 2005 as
compared to 2004 (as further described in Note 3 above) and controlled
spending, partially offset by higher overall raw material and energy costs.
Higher net sales resulted from higher average selling prices, partially
offset by lower sales volumes. Higher average selling prices were generally
experienced in response to the escalating cost of raw materials and overall
increase in demand while sales volumes decreased primarily as a result of
operational disruptions resulting from the hurricanes experienced in the
U.S. in 2005.
