GENTEK INC.
NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Dollars in thousands, except per share data)
(unaudited)

Note 1 – Basis of Presentation

          The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared by the Company pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the six months ended June 30, 2009 are not indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2009. These statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and the notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2008.

          On July 9, 2009, the Company completed the sale of its fluid transfer business in Weaverville, North Carolina. On November 14, 2008, the Company completed the sale of its wire and cable manufacturing business in Mineral Wells, Texas. Accordingly, these businesses have been classified as discontinued operations.

          The Company has evaluated subsequent events through the time of filing these financial statements with the Securities and Exchange Commission on August 7, 2009.

Note 2 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

          In September 2006, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards, or SFAS No. 157, Fair Value Measurements, (“SFAS 157”), to define fair value, establish a framework for measuring fair value in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and expand disclosures about fair value measurements. SFAS 157 requires quantitative disclosures using a tabular format in all periods (interim and annual) and qualitative disclosures about the valuation techniques used to measure fair value in all annual periods. Certain provisions of SFAS 157 were effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007 and interim periods within those fiscal years. In February 2008, the FASB deferred the implementation of SFAS 157 for all non-financial assets and non-financial liabilities, except those recognized or disclosed at fair value in the financial statements on a recurring basis (at least annually). The implementation of SFAS 157 for financial assets and financial liabilities, effective January 1, 2008, did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial position and results of operations. The Company adopted SFAS 157 provisions for non-financial assets and non-financial liabilities in the first quarter of 2009. There was no material impact to the Company’s consolidated financial position and results of operations.

          In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 160, Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements—an amendment of ARB No. 51 (“SFAS 160”). SFAS 160 establishes accounting and reporting standards for the noncontrolling interest in a subsidiary and for the deconsolidation of a subsidiary. SFAS 160 is effective for fiscal years beginning on or after December 15, 2008. Earlier adoption is prohibited. There was no material impact on the Company’s results of operations or financial condition as a result of adopting this statement in the first quarter of 2009.

GENTEK INC.
NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)
(Dollars in thousands, except per share data)
(unaudited)

          In March 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 161, Disclosures About Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities – an amendment of FASB Statement No. 133 (“SFAS 161”). SFAS 161 expands quarterly disclosure requirements in SFAS No. 133 about an entity’s derivative instruments and hedging activities. SFAS 161 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2008. The Company adopted SFAS 161 in the first quarter of 2009 (see Note 11).

          In April 2008, the FASB issued FSP FAS 142-3, Determination of the Useful Life of Intangible Assets (“FSP FAS 142-3”). FSP FAS 142-3 amends the factors that should be considered in developing renewal or extension assumptions used to determine the useful life of a recognized intangible asset under SFAS No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets (“SFAS 142”). The intent of FSP FAS 142-3 is to improve the consistency between the useful life of a recognized intangible asset under SFAS 142 and the period of expected cash flows used to measure the fair value of the asset under SFAS 141(R) and other applicable accounting literature. FSP FAS 142-3 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008. There was no material impact on the Company’s results of operations or financial condition as a result of adopting this statement in the first quarter of 2009.

          On February 29, 2008, the Company completed the sale of its antiperspirant actives product line to Summit Research Labs, Inc. for $18,000. As part of this transaction, the Company continued to operate the antiperspirant actives manufacturing unit through September 30, 2008, under a transition services contract. This business continues to be classified as continuing operations. The Company recorded a loss on disposition of long-term assets as a result of this sale in the amount of $1,930 during the first quarter of 2008.

Note 3 – Comprehensive Income

          Total comprehensive income is comprised of net income, pension and postretirement liability adjustments, foreign currency translation adjustments and the change in unrealized gains and losses on derivative financial instruments. Total comprehensive income for the three months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008 was $22,227 and $10,684, respectively. Total comprehensive income for the six months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008 was $34,314 and $4,174, respectively.

Note 4 – Earnings Per Share

          The computation of basic earnings per share is based on the weighted average number of common shares outstanding including participating securities outstanding, as discussed below, during the period. The computation of diluted earnings per share assumes the foregoing and, in addition, the exercise of all warrants and stock options, using the treasury stock method.

          On January 1, 2009, the Company adopted FSP EITF No. 03-6-1, Determining Whether Instruments Granted in Share-Based Payment Transactions Are Participating Securities , which requires the Company to include all unvested stock awards which contain non-forfeitable rights to dividends or dividend equivalents, whether paid or unpaid, in the number of shares outstanding in our basic and diluted EPS calculations. As a result, all outstanding restricted stock awards have been included in our calculation of basic and diluted EPS for the current and prior period. FSP EITF No. 03-6-1 also requires additional disclosure of EPS for common stock and unvested share-based payment awards, separately

During the second quarter of 2009, the Company modified certain restricted stock awards that resulted in a change to their classification from equity awards to liability awards, resulting in a reclassification of $1,692 from equity to current and long-term liabilities.

          As of June 30, 2009, there was $3,084 of total unrecognized compensation cost that is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 2.6 years. The remaining unrecognized compensation cost for performance based restricted stock may vary each reporting period based on changes in the expected achievement of performance measures.

(unaudited)

which resulted in pension curtailment gains of $7 and $36 for the six months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively.

          During the second quarter of 2008, the Company implemented plan amendments to one of its postretirement medical plans which cap the Company’s cost for providing these benefits. The effect of these changes was a reduction to the accumulated postretirement benefit obligation of $934 which will be amortized as a component of net periodic postretirement benefit cost over the average remaining service period until full eligibility of active plan participants.

Note 11 – Financial Instruments

          The Company utilizes derivative instruments to manage our exposure to interest rate fluctuations. In April 2005, the Company entered into two five year interest rate collar agreements in the aggregate notional amount of $185 million, in order to hedge against the effect that interest rate fluctuations may have on the Company’s floating rate debt. The interest rate to be paid will be based on a minimum three-month LIBOR of 4.05 percent on average and a maximum three-month LIBOR of 5.00 percent. These interest rate collar agreements are scheduled to mature in 2010.

           The Company endeavors to utilize the best available information in measuring fair value. Financial assets and liabilities are classified in their entirety based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The Company has valued its financial liability using a pricing model, with inputs based on an observable interest rate swap yield curve and as such, the fair value measure is classified as level 2 in the fair value hierarchy. The following table sets forth the fair value of the Company’s financial instruments:

          The collars are designated as cash flow hedges and therefore the effective portion of the change in fair value is reported in other comprehensive income (OCI) and reclassified as an adjustment of interest expense as interest is accrued on the underlying hedged debt. There was no significant ineffectiveness recognized for the three months or six months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008.

          The fair values of cash and cash equivalents, receivables and payables approximate their carrying values due to the short-term nature of the instruments. The fair value of the Company’s long-term debt was based on quoted market prices for traded debt and discounted cash flow analyses on its nontraded debt.

Note 12 – Income Taxes

          The effective tax rates are lower than the United States statutory rate in 2009 primarily as a result of the reversal of valuation allowances related to capital loss and net operating loss carryforwards and the reduction in the amount of unrecognized tax benefits. A reconciliation of the beginning and ending amount of unrecognized tax benefits is as follows:

Three Months Ended June 30, 2009 Compared with Three Months Ended June 30, 2008

          Net revenues were $127 million for the three month period ended June 30, 2009 compared with $151 million for the comparable prior year period. The decrease in revenue was due to lower sales of $3 million in the performance chemicals segment and lower sales of $22 million in the valve actuation

-15-


systems segment. The shortfall in the valve actuation systems segment is due to reduced demand across the customer base.

          Gross profit was $45 million for the three month period ended June 30, 2009 as compared with $26 million for the comparable prior year period. This reflects increased gross profit in the performance chemicals segment of $24 million partly offset by lower gross profit in the valve actuation systems segment of $5 million. The increase in the performance chemicals segment gross profit was driven by increased selling prices, particularly in the water treatment market coupled with reduced raw material costs. The shortfall in the valve actuation systems segment was due primarily to reduced sales volumes.

          Selling, general and administrative expense was $11 million for the three month period ended June 30, 2009 as compared with $12 million for the comparable prior year period.

          Operating profit was $33 million for the three month period ended June 30, 2009 compared with $13 million for the comparable prior year period. The higher operating profit is the result of increased gross profit and lower selling, general and administrative expense in the current year period.

          Interest expense was $4 million for the three month period ended June 30, 2009 which is comparable to the prior year period.

          Income from discontinued operations in the current and prior year periods reflects the operations of the company’s discontinued fluid handling business. In addition, the prior year period reflects the operations of the company’s discontinued wire and cable manufacturing business.

Six Months Ended June 30, 2009 Compared with Six Months Ended June 30, 2008

          Net revenues were $250 million for the six month period ended June 30, 2009 compared with $292 million for the comparable prior year period. The shortfall in revenue was primarily due to lower sales of $41 million in the valve actuation systems segment. The shortfall in the valve actuation systems segment is primarily due to reduced demand across the customer base.

          Gross profit was $82 million for the six month period ended June 30, 2009 as compared with $46 million for the comparable prior year period. This reflects higher gross profit in the performance chemicals segment of $44 million partly offset by lower gross profit in the valve actuation systems segment of $8 million. The increase in the performance chemicals segment gross profit was driven by increased selling prices, particularly in the water treatment market, coupled with reduced raw material costs in the chemical processing market. The shortfall in the valve actuation systems segment was due primarily to reduced sales volumes.

          Selling, general and administrative expense was $24 million for the six month period ended June 30, 2009 which was comparable to the prior year period.

          Operating profit was $58 million for the six month period ended June 30, 2009 as compared with $20 million for the comparable prior year period. The increased operating profit was primarily the result of higher gross profit and the $2 million loss on the disposition of long-term assets in the prior year.

          Interest expense was $7 million for the six month period ended June 30, 2009 as compared with $8 million for the comparable prior year period, primarily as a result of lower outstanding debt balances.

Three Months Ended June 30, 2009 Compared with Three Months Ended June 30, 2008

Valve Actuation Systems Segment

          Net revenues for the valve actuation systems segment were $14 million for the three month period ended June 30, 2009 as compared to $36 million for the comparable prior year period. This reduction was the result of reduced demand across the customer base. Sales to automotive customers were adversely impacted by the continued downturn in the global auto industry. Sales to Chrysler were down $11 million due to the combined impact of reduced demand and production disruptions associated with the Chrysler bankruptcy process. Weak sales to automotive customers were compounded by reduced demand from heavy duty and diesel customers associated with the economic downturn. Gross profit/loss reflected a loss of $2 million for the three month period ended June 30, 2009 as compared to profit of $3 million for the comparable prior year period. The decrease in gross profit was driven by $6 million from the impact of the reduced sales volumes partly offset by a $1 million reduction in amortization expense associated with the write-down of intangible assets recorded in the fourth quarter of 2008. Selling, general and administrative expense was $1 million for the three month period ended June 30, 2009 compared to $4 million for the comparable prior year period. Selling, general and administrative expense included a $2 million gain resulting from the reversal of a reserve for bad debt related to the Chrysler bankruptcy filing which was recorded in the first quarter of 2009. The Company was able to collect all valid open receivables based on the terms of its agreement with Chrysler as it emerged from bankruptcy. Operating loss was $3 million for the three month period ended June 30, 2009 compared to an operating loss of $2 million for the comparable prior year period. The operating results were driven by the reduced sales volumes and associated margins in the automotive market partly offset by the gain on the reversal of the Chrysler bad debt reserve.

-17-


Performance Chemicals Segment

          Net revenues for the performance chemicals segment were $113 million for the three month period ended June 30, 2009 as compared to $116 million for the comparable prior year period. The reduced sales were the result of lower sales volumes which more than offset the favorable impact of increased prices. Sales into the water treatment market increased by $14 million driven by $19 million resulting from increased selling prices, partly offset by $5 million resulting from reduced sales volumes, primarily from industrial customers. Revenues in the chemical processing market were reduced by $10 million due to the combined impact of lower volumes and reduced pricing resulting from the pass through of significantly reduced sulfur raw material costs. Reduced revenues of $3 million in electronic chemicals were driven by reduced sales volumes which more than offset increased pricing. Segment revenue was further reduced by $4 million resulting from the sale of the Reheis antiperspirant actives product line which was formerly included in the pharmaceutical and food additives market. Gross profit was $47 million for the three month period ended June 30, 2009 as compared to $23 million for the comparable prior year period. The improved gross profit is driven primarily by the results in the water treatment market which benefitted from the combined impact of $19 million from higher prices implemented over the course of 2008 coupled with $7 million from lower raw material and production costs resulting from the sharp decline in raw material costs which occurred in late 2008, partly offset by $2 million from reduced sales volumes. Improved gross profit of $1 million in chemical processing resulting from the impact of an operating capacity expansion was directly offset by lower gross profit in the pharmaceutical and food additives market driven by reduced sales volumes. Selling, general and administrative expense was $9 million for the three month period ended June 30, 2009 as compared to $7 million for the comparable prior year period. The increase in selling, general and administrative expense was the result of higher incentive compensation costs. Operating profit was $37 million for the three month period ended June 30, 2009 which increased $22 million from the comparable prior period. The increase in operating profit was due to the strong gross margin performance partly offset by higher selling, general and administrative expense.

Six Months Ended June 30, 2009 Compared with Six Months Ended June 30, 2008

Valve Actuation Systems Segment

          Net revenues for the valve actuation systems segment were $31 million for the six month period ended June 30, 2009 as compared to $72 million for the comparable prior year period. This reduction was the result of broad based weakness across the customer base. Automotive market sales were adversely impacted by the continued downturn in the global automotive markets. Sales to Chrysler were down $18 million due to the combined impact of reduced customer demand and production disruptions associated with the Chrysler bankruptcy process. Sales to heavy duty and diesel customers were down due to reduced demand related to the economic downturn. Gross profit/loss reflected a loss of $1 million for the six month period ended June 30, 2009 as compared to profit of $6 million for the comparable prior year period. The decrease in gross profit was driven by $11 million from reduced sales volumes and $1 million from costs associated with upcoming product launch and quality initiatives, partly offset by $2 million from the recovery of expenses associated with a new product launch which was cancelled by the customer, and a $3 million reduction in depreciation and amortization expense primarily associated with the write-down of intangible assets recorded in the fourth quarter of 2008. Selling, general and administrative expense was $5 million for the six month period ended June 30, 2009 as compared to $8 million for the comparable prior year period. The reductions in selling, general and administrative expenses resulted primarily from reduced compensation, travel and discretionary development expenses associated with cost containment efforts implemented in response to the reduced customer demand.

-18-


Operating loss was $6 million for the six month period ended June 30, 2009 compared to an operating loss of $2 million for the comparable prior year period. The operating results were driven by the reduced sales volumes and the associated impact on margins partly offset by the reduced spending in selling, general and administrative expense.

Performance Chemicals Segment

          Net revenues for the performance chemicals segment were $219 million for the six month period ended June 30, 2009 versus $220 million in the prior year period. Increased sales in the water treatment market of $30 million were offset by reduced sales in the pharmaceutical and food additives market of $13 million, chemical processing market of $11 million and the technology market of $7 million. Increased revenues in the water treatment market were primarily the result of higher selling prices resulting from the continued impact of price increases implemented in the second half of 2008. Reduced sales in the pharmaceutical and food additives market were primarily the result of the sale of the antiperspirant product line in 2008. Reduced revenue in the chemical processing market was the result of the pass through of lower raw material costs. Reduced sales in the technology market were driven by reduced customer demand resulting from the economic downturn. Gross profit was $83 million for the six month period ended June 30, 2009 as compared to $40 million for the comparable prior year period. The increase in gross profit was due to higher gross profit in the water treatment market of $41 million and the chemical processing market of $7 million partly offset by reduced gross profit in the pharmaceutical and food additives market of $3 million and the technology market of $1 million. The improved gross profit in the water treatment market was the result of higher selling prices partly offset by $5 million from reduced volumes, primarily to industrial customers. The improved gross profit in the chemical processing market was due primarily to lower raw material costs as well as $2 million generated from the impact of an operating capacity expansion. The reduced gross profit in the pharmaceutical and food additives market was the result of the sale of the antiperspirant product line in 2008 . Selling, general and administrative expense was $17 million for the six month period ended June 30, 2009 as compared to $14 million for the comparable prior year period. The increase in selling, general and administrative expense was the result of higher incentive compensation costs. The prior year period included a $2 million loss on the disposition of the antiperspirant product line. Operating profit was $66 million for the six month period ended June 30, 2009 which compared to $24 million for the comparable prior period. The increase in operating profit was due primarily to the strong gross margin performance.

Financial Condition, Liquidity and Capital Resources

          Cash and cash equivalents were $60 million at June 30, 2009, compared to $10 million at December 31, 2008. Significant cash flows during the 2009 period included cash provided by operating activities of $66 million, capital expenditures of $14 million, and debt payments of $1 million.

          The Company had working capital (current assets minus current liabilities) of $72 million at June 30, 2009 as compared to working capital of $88 million at December 31, 2008. The decrease is primarily the result of an increase in the current portion of long term debt, decreases in receivables and deferred tax assets, partially offset by an increase in cash balances and a decrease in accounts payable.

          The Company expects to make approximately $22-25 million of capital expenditures during 2009. Contributions to pension plan trusts are expected to be approximately $1 million during 2009.

          On August 7, 2007, the Company’s board of directors authorized a stock repurchase program pursuant to which the Company will purchase in the aggregate up to $30 million of its common stock in open market and negotiated purchases over a period of three years, dependent upon market conditions.

-19-


This program does not obligate the Company to acquire any particular amount of common stock and the program may be suspended at any time at the Company’s discretion. During the first six months of 2009, the Company did not repurchase any stock. The Company has approximately $11 million available for repurchases under the program.

          Management believes that the Company’s cash flow from operations and availability under its revolving credit facility will be sufficient to cover future debt service requirements, capital expenditures, and working capital requirements during the remainder of 2009.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

          The Company has approximately $8 million of standby letters of credit outstanding as of June 30, 2009.

          In September 2006, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards, or SFAS No. 157, Fair Value Measurements, (“SFAS 157”), to define fair value, establish a framework for measuring fair value in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and expand disclosures about fair value measurements. SFAS 157 requires quantitative disclosures using a tabular format in all periods (interim and annual) and qualitative disclosures about the valuation techniques used to measure fair value in all annual periods. Certain provisions of SFAS 157 were effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007 and interim periods within those fiscal years. In February 2008, the FASB deferred the implementation of SFAS 157 for all non-financial assets and non-financial liabilities, except those recognized or disclosed at fair value in the financial statements on a recurring basis (at least annually). The implementation of SFAS 157 for financial assets and financial liabilities, effective January 1, 2008, did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial position and results of operations. The Company adopted SFAS 157 provisions for non-financial assets and non-financial liabilities in the first quarter of 2009. There was no material impact to the Company’s consolidated financial position and results of operations.

          In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 160, Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements—an amendment of ARB No. 51 (“SFAS 160”). SFAS 160 establishes accounting and reporting standards for the noncontrolling interest in a subsidiary and for the deconsolidation of a subsidiary. SFAS 160 is effective for fiscal years beginning on or after December 15, 2008. Earlier adoption is prohibited. There was no material impact on the Company’s results of operations or financial condition as a result of adopting this statement in the first quarter of 2009.

          In March 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 161, Disclosures About Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities – an amendment of FASB Statement No. 133 (“SFAS 161”). SFAS 161 expands quarterly disclosure requirements in SFAS No. 133 about an entity’s derivative instruments and hedging activities. SFAS 161 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2008. The Company adopted SFAS 161 in the first quarter of 2009.

          In April 2008, the FASB issued FSP FAS 142-3, Determination of the Useful Life of Intangible Assets (“FSP FAS 142-3”). FSP FAS 142-3 amends the factors that should be considered in developing renewal or extension assumptions used to determine the useful life of a recognized intangible asset under SFAS No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets (“SFAS 142”). The intent of FSP FAS 142-3 is to improve the consistency between the useful life of a recognized intangible asset under SFAS 142 and the period of expected cash flows used to measure the fair value of the asset under SFAS 141(R) and other

applicable accounting literature. FSP FAS 142-3 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008. There was no material impact on the Company’s results of operations or financial condition as a result of adopting this statement in the first quarter of 2009.

I tem 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.

          The Company’s cash flows and earnings are subject to fluctuations resulting from changes in interest rates, foreign currency exchange rates and commodity prices and the Company selectively uses financial instruments to manage these risks. The Company’s objective in managing its exposure to changes in interest rates, foreign currency exchange rates and commodity prices is to reduce volatility on earnings and cash flow associated with such changes. The Company has not entered, and does not intend to enter, into financial instruments for speculation or trading purposes.

Interest rate risk

          At June 30, 2009, the Company’s debt financing consisted primarily of amounts outstanding under the Company’s credit facility. The borrowings outstanding under the Company’s credit facility are collateralized by substantially all of the personal property and certain real property of the Company and its domestic subsidiaries. Borrowings under the Company’s credit facility are sensitive to changes in interest rates. Given the existing level of borrowings under the credit facility of $212 million as of June 30, 2009, a one percent change in the weighted-average interest rate would have an interest impact of approximately $0.1 million each month.

February 28, 2011

          In April 2005, the Company entered into two five year interest rate collar agreements in the aggregate notional amount of $185 million, in order to hedge against the effect that interest rate fluctuations may have on the Company’s floating rate debt. The interest rate to be paid will be based on a minimum three-month LIBOR of 4.05 percent on average and a maximum three-month LIBOR of 5.00 percent. These interest rate collar agreements are scheduled to mature in 2010. The fair value of the agreements was a $7 million liability at June 30, 2009.

Foreign currency exchange rate and commodity price risks

          The Company measures the market risk related to its holding of financial instruments based on changes in foreign currency rates and commodity prices using a sensitivity analysis. The sensitivity analysis measures the potential loss in fair values, cash flows and earnings based on a hypothetical 10 percent change in foreign currency exchange rates and commodity prices. Such analysis indicates that a hypothetical 10 percent change in foreign currency exchange rates or commodity prices would not have a material impact on the fair values, cash flows or earnings of the Company.

I tem 4. Controls and Procedures.

          (a) Disclosure Controls and Procedures.

          The Company’s management, with the participation of the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)) as of June 30, 2009. Based on such evaluation, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that, as of June 30, 2009, the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures are effective at the reasonable assurance level.

          (b) Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting.

          There have not been any changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) during the fiscal quarter to which this report relates that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.
