INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS

        We are a global manufacturer of differentiated organic chemical products and of inorganic chemical products. Our products comprise a broad range of chemicals and formulations, which we market globally to a diversified group of consumer and industrial customers. Our products are used in a wide range of applications, including those in the adhesives, aerospace, automotive, construction products, personal care and hygiene, durable and non-durable consumer products, digital inks, electronics, medical, packaging, paints and coatings, power generation, refining, synthetic fiber, textile chemicals and dyes industries. We are a leading global producer in many of our key product lines, including MDI, amines, surfactants, maleic anhydride, epoxy-based polymer formulations, textile chemicals, dyes, titanium dioxide and color pigments.

        We operate in five segments: Polyurethanes, Performance Products, Advanced Materials, Textile Effects, and Pigments and Additives. Our Polyurethanes, Performance Products, Advanced Materials and Textile Effects segments produce differentiated organic chemical products and our Pigments and Additives segment produces inorganic chemical products. In a series of transactions beginning in 2006, we sold or shutdown substantially all of our Australian styrenics operations and our North American polymers and base chemicals operations. We report the results of these businesses as discontinued operations.

COMPANY

        Our Company, a Delaware corporation, was formed in 2004 to hold the Huntsman businesses. Jon M. Huntsman founded the predecessor to our Company in 1970 as a small packaging company. Since then, we have grown through a series of acquisitions and now own a global portfolio of businesses.

        Currently, we operate all of our businesses through Huntsman International, our wholly-owned subsidiary. Huntsman International is a Delaware limited liability company and was formed in 1999.

HUNTSMAN CORPORATION AND HUNTSMAN INTERNATIONAL FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

        Except where otherwise indicated, these notes relate to the condensed consolidated financial statements for both our Company and Huntsman International. The differences between our financial statements and Huntsman International's financial statements relate primarily to the following:

PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION

        Our condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of our wholly-owned and majority-owned subsidiaries and any variable interest entities for which we are the primary beneficiary. Intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated.

RECENT DEVELOPMENTS

Separation of our Pigments and Additives and Textile Effects Businesses

        In connection with our previously announced plans to separate our Pigments and Additives and Textile Effects businesses through a U.S. tax-free spin-off to our stockholders, on October 28, 2016, Huntsman Spin Corporation ("SpinCo") filed an initial registration statement on Form 10 with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"). Subject to market conditions, we expect the spin-off to be completed in the first half of 2017.

Sale of European Surfactants Manufacturing Facilities

        On August 3, 2016, we announced that Innospec Inc. ("Innospec") had committed to purchase our European surfactants business for an enterprise value of $225 million pursuant to the terms of an Exclusivity and Put Option Agreement under which we could, by notice to Innospec, exercise an option to enter into an agreed form Share and Asset Purchase Agreement (the "SAPA") with Innospec. We have provided that notice and as of October 25, 2016, we and Innospec have each signed the SAPA and an amendment thereto. Under the terms of the transaction, Innospec will acquire our manufacturing facilities located in Saint-Mihiel, France; Castiglione delle Stiviere, Italy; and Barcelona, Spain. The $225 million enterprise value includes our related trade receivables and payables, which we will retain. The purchase price will be subject to additional working capital and other adjustments. Closing is expected to occur by the end of the fourth quarter of 2016 and is subject to customary conditions. We expect to use the net proceeds from the sale to repay debt. The assets and liabilities of this business are included in our Performance Products segment and are classified as held for sale on the accompanying balance sheets.

        Upon consummating the planned transaction, we will enter into supply and long-term tolling arrangements with Innospec in order to continue marketing certain core products strategic to our global agrochemicals, lubes and certain other businesses.

USE OF ESTIMATES

        The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
