1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements
have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles for interim financial information and Article 10 of Regulation
S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes
required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete
financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments
(consisting of normal recurring accruals unless otherwise noted)
considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating
results for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2004 are not
necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year
ending December 31, 2004.
The balance sheet at December 31, 2003 has been derived from the audited
financial statements at that date but does not include all of the
information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally
accepted in the United States for complete financial statements.
2. ACQUISITIONS
On June 3, 2004, the company consummated its acquisition of Noveon
International, Inc. (Noveon) for cash of $920.2 million plus transaction
costs of $10.5 million less certain seller expenses of $32.9 million and
less cash acquired of $103.0 million. In addition, the company assumed
$1,103.1 million of long-term indebtedness from Noveon. Noveon had 2003
revenues of $1,135.9 million. Similar to Lubrizol, Noveon is a global
producer and marketer of technologically advanced specialty materials and
chemicals used in a broad range of consumer and industrial applications.
Noveon's businesses include a number of industry-leading product
franchises marketed under some of the industry's most recognized brand
names. These global brands include Carbopol(R) acrylic thickeners for
personal care, TempRite(R) chlorinated polyvinyl chloride resins and
compounds, Estane(R) thermoplastic polyurethane and Hycar(R) reactive
liquid polymers for engineering adhesives and water-borne acrylic
emulsions for performance coatings. The acquisition of Noveon
significantly expands the company's products and technologies for the
global coatings and personal care markets.
The acquisition and related costs were financed with the proceeds of a
$2,450.0 million 364-day bridge credit facility (see Note 9). Shortly
after the acquisition, the company repaid substantially all of the assumed
long-term debt with proceeds of the temporary bridge loan. The temporary
bridge loan is expected to be replaced with the proceeds of permanent
financing to be obtained by the end of the third quarter of 2004 in the
form of a term loan, debt securities and an equity issuance. At June 30,
2004, there was $1,797.0 million outstanding on the temporary bridge loan.
The consolidated balance sheet of the company as of June 30, 2004 reflects
the acquisition of Noveon under the purchase method of accounting. Various
assets acquired and liabilities assumed, primarily working capital
accounts, of Noveon have been recorded at estimated fair values as
determined by the company's management based on the information currently
available. Appraisals of long-lived assets and identifiable intangible
assets, including an evaluation of in-process research and development
projects, are currently underway and will be completed at various times
within the next twelve months. In addition, the valuations of the
company's projected pension and other post-employment benefit obligations
are also in process and estimates have been reflected in the preliminary
allocation of purchase price. Such amounts are subject to adjustment based
on the completion of
6
THE LUBRIZOL CORPORATION
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
Amounts in millions (except per share data)
June 30, 2004
the valuations and appraisals. Accordingly, the preliminary purchase price
allocation is subject to revision.
The purchase price includes the estimated fair value of research and
development projects totaling $35.0 million that, as of the acquisition
date, had not reached technological feasibility and had no alternative
future use. As a result, this amount was immediately expensed in the
consolidated statement of income in the second quarter of 2004. The
inventory step-up to fair value totaled $24.2 million and the company
expensed $4.9 million of the inventory step-up to cost of sales in the
second quarter of 2004. The company estimates that $4.9 million of
inventory step-up will be expensed to cost of sales in the third quarter
of 2004. As the remaining step-up relates to inventories accounted for on
the LIFO (last-in, first-out) method of accounting, the company does not
anticipate that additional amounts of the step-up will be expensed through
cost of sales in 2004.
The following unaudited pro forma data summarizes the results of
operations for the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 2004
and 2003 as if the Noveon acquisition had been completed as of the
beginning of the periods presented. The pro forma data gives effect to
actual operating results prior to the acquisition. Adjustments to cost of
sales for the inventory step-up charge, intangible asset amortization,
interest expense and income taxes related to the acquisition are reflected
in the pro forma data. In addition, the company has assumed the bridge
loan used to finance the acquisition at the beginning of the period was
replaced with long-term financing, consisting of both debt and equity, at
the end of the fourth month of the six-month periods ended June 30, 2004
and 2003. These pro forma amounts do not purport to be indicative of the
results that would have actually been obtained if the acquisition had
occurred as of the beginning of the periods presented or that may be
obtained in the future.

In January 2004, the company completed the acquisition of the coatings
hyperdispersants business of Avecia for cash totaling $133.0 million. This
additives business is headquartered in Blackley, United Kingdom, and
develops, manufactures and markets high-value additives that are based on
polymeric dispersion technology and used in coatings and inks. These
products enrich and strengthen color while reducing production costs and
solvent emissions, and are marketed under the brand names Solsperse(TM),
Solplus(TM) and Solthix(TM). Historical annualized revenues of this
business are approximately $50.0 million. The company is currently in the
process of finalizing the allocation of the purchase price for the
hyperdispersants business purchased from Avecia, so it is possible the
amount of intangible asset amortization or the preliminary purchase price
allocation may change.
The fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed in 2004
acquisitions is as follows:

3. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
GENERAL
The accounting policies of Noveon are consistent, in general, with the
accounting policies of the company. However, two more policies are being
described due to their increased significance: acquired in-process
research and development (IPR&D) and debt issuance costs.
ACQUIRED IN-PROCESS RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT
Costs to acquire IPR&D projects that have no alternative future use and
that have not reached technological feasibility at the date of acquisition
are expensed upon acquisition (see Note 2).

THE LUBRIZOL CORPORATION
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
Amounts in millions (except per share data)
June 30, 2004
DEBT ISSUANCE COSTS
Costs incurred with the issuance of debt and credit facilities are
capitalized and amortized over the life of the associated debt using the
effective interest method of amortization. In June 2004, the company
financed the Noveon acquisition with a bridge facility. Fees associated
with the bridge facility were capitalized and are being amortized over the
bridge financing period. A total of $11.2 million was incurred in bridge
facility fees in June 2004 and these fees are being expensed ratably
through September 2004 when a long-term financing arrangement is expected
to be completed.
NET INCOME PER SHARE
Net income per share is computed by dividing net income by average common
shares outstanding during the period, including contingently issuable
shares. Net income per diluted share includes the dilutive effect
resulting from outstanding stock options and stock awards.
Per share amounts are computed as follows:

three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 2003 were 2.1 million and

MEDICARE PRESCRIPTION DRUG IMPROVEMENT AND MODERNIZATION ACT
In December 2003, the Medicare Prescription Drug, Improvement and
Modernization Act was enacted, which introduced a Medicare prescription
drug benefit and a federal subsidy to sponsors of retiree health-care
plans that provide a benefit at least actuarially equivalent to the
Medicare benefit. In accordance with the Financial Accounting Standards
Board (FASB) Staff Position (FSP) SFAS 106-2, "Accounting and Disclosure
Requirements Related to the Medicare Prescription Drug, Improvement and
Modernization Act of 2003," the company has elected to defer recognition
of the effects of the new Medicare Act. The accumulated postretirement
benefit obligation and net periodic postretirement benefit cost do not
reflect the provisions of the Act. The company estimates the annual cash
flows from the federal subsidy to be in the range of $0.6 million to $0.8
million, beginning in 2006. The company has not yet determined the income
statement effect.

5. SEGMENT REPORTING
Beginning in the second quarter of 2004, the company reorganized as a
result of the Noveon acquisition into two operating segments: lubricant
additives and specialty chemicals. The lubricant additives segment, also
referred to as Lubrizol Additives, comprises approximately 55% of the
company's annualized consolidated revenues and is comprised of the
company's previous businesses in fluid technologies for transportation,
advanced fluid systems, emulsified products and the former industrial
additives product group of fluid technologies for industry. The specialty
chemicals segment, also referred to as the Noveon segment, comprises
approximately 45% of the company's annualized consolidated revenues and is
comprised of the businesses of the acquired Noveon International and the
former performance chemicals group of fluid technologies for industry.
Lubricant additives consists of three product lines: engine additives;
specialty driveline and industrial additives; and services and equipment.
Engine additives is comprised of additives for lubricating engine oils,
such as for gasoline, diesel, marine and stationary gas engines and
additive components, additives for fuel products and refinery and oil
field chemicals and PuriNOx((TM)) low-emissions diesel fuel. In addition,
this segment sells additive components and viscosity improvers within its
lubricant and fuel additives product lines. Driveline and industrial
additives is comprised of additives for driveline oils, such as automatic
transmission fluids, gear oils and tractor lubricants and industrial
additives, such as additives for hydraulic, grease and metalworking
fluids, as well as compressor lubricants. Services and equipment is
comprised of outsourcing strategies for supply chain and knowledge center
management, fluid metering devices, particulate emission trap devices and
FluiPak((TM)) sensor systems. The company's lubricant additives product
lines are generally produced in shared manufacturing facilities and sold
largely to a common customer base.
The specialty chemicals segment consists of consumer specialties,
specialty materials and performance coatings product lines. The consumer
specialties product line is characterized by global production of acrylic
thickeners, specialty monomers, film formers, fixatives, emollients,
silicones, surfactants, botanicals, active pharmaceutical ingredients and
intermediates, process chemicals, benzoate preservatives, fragrances,
defoamers, synthetic food dyes and natural colorants. The company markets
11
THE LUBRIZOL CORPORATION
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
Amounts in millions (except per share data)
June 30, 2004
products in the consumer specialties product line to the following primary
end-use industries: personal care, pharmaceuticals, textiles and food and
beverage. The consumer specialties products are sold to customers
worldwide and these customers include major manufacturers of cosmetics,
personal care products, water soluble polymers, household products, soft
drinks and food products. The specialty materials product line is
characterized as the largest global supplier of chlorinated polyvinyl
chloride (CPVC) resins and compounds and reactive liquid polymers (RLP),
and as a leading North American producer of rubber and lubricant
antioxidants and rubber accelerators. The specialty materials product line
is also a leading producer of thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU) and
cross-linked polyethylene compounds (PEX). The company markets products of
specialty materials through the primary product categories of specialty
plastics and polymer additives. Specialty materials products are sold to a
diverse customer base comprised of major manufacturers in the
construction, automotive, telecommunications, electronics, recreation and
aerospace industries. The performance coatings product line includes
high-performance polymers for specialty paper, printing and packaging,
industrial and architectural specialty coatings and textile applications.
The company markets the performance coatings products through the primary
product categories of performance polymers and coatings and textile
performance chemicals. Performance coatings products serve major companies
in the specialty paper, printing and packaging, paint and coatings, and
textile industries.
The company primarily evaluates performance and allocates resources based
on segment operating income, defined as revenues less expenses
identifiable to the product lines included within each segment, as well as
projected future returns. The company has reclassified certain
administrative expenses that were previously deducted in arriving at
segment operating income and are now classified as unallocated corporate
expenses. Segment operating income will reconcile to consolidated income
before tax by deducting the write-off of acquired IPR&D projects,
restructuring charges, net interest expense, corporate expenses and
corporate other income (expense) that are not directly attributable to the
operating segments.

Expected employer contributions for pension benefits in 2004 consist of
$10.5 million to the United States qualified plans including Noveon, $2.5
million to the United States non-qualified plan and a range of $5.0
million to $6.0 million for the United Kingdom plan. The expected
contribution to the non-qualified U.S. plan, which is unfunded, represents
an actuarial estimate of future assumed payments based on historic
retirement and payment patterns. Actual amounts to be paid could differ
from this estimate. Cash payments to the U.K. plan were $1.7 million for
the second quarter of 2004 and $2.5 million for the first six months of
2004. No cash payments were made to the U.S. plans in 2004.
The company anticipates recording an estimated $6.0 million settlement
charge for the U.S. pension plans in the third quarter of 2004 associated
with workforce reductions announced in June 2004.
8. RESTRUCTURING CHARGE
In June 2004, the company recorded a restructuring charge of $8.0 million,
or $0.10 per share, related to workforce reductions and asset impairments
as a result of the Noveon acquisition. The reductions are estimated to
result in annual pre-tax savings of approximately $16.0 million.
The restructuring charge consisted of $6.4 million for workforce
reductions and a write-off of $1.6 million of impaired assets related to
PuriNOx(TM) technology. The company eliminated 95 positions, primarily at
the company's Wickliffe, Ohio headquarters. These reductions are expected
to be completed by the end of the third quarter in 2004. Cash expenditures
through June 30, 2004 were $1.3 million, with a remaining accrued
liability of $5.1 million at June 30, 2004 relating to employee severance
costs.
The second-half 2004 pre-tax restructuring charge will include an
estimated $6.0 million non-cash pension benefit settlement charge and the
remainder of the employee severance costs associated with the workforce
reductions, approximating $3.0 million.
At December 31, 2003, there was a liability recorded of $12.4 million,
primarily related to the 2003 workforce reductions in the United States
that occurred in November 2003. Cash expenditures were $0.4 million for
the second quarter of 2004 and $11.8 million for the first six months of
2004. An accrued liability of $0.6 million remains at June 30, 2004.

liability.

Amounts due on total debt are $191.1 million in 2004, $1,797.1 million in
2005, $79.7 million in 2006, $0.1 million in 2007, $212.3 million in 2008
and $100.0 million thereafter. While the company intends to refinance the
bridge loan in 2004, the bridge loan is not due and payable until May
2005.
In May 2004, the company obtained a 364-day credit facility of $2,450.0
million for the purpose of bridge financing the Noveon acquisition (see
Note 2). This credit facility enables the company to borrow at or below
the U.S. prime rate. In June 2004, the company borrowed $1,797.0 million
to finance the Noveon acquisition and repay a portion of the assumed
Noveon debt. In addition, in July 2004, the company borrowed $175.0
million to repay the outstanding seller notes also assumed as part of the
Noveon acquisition. The seller notes were classified as short-term debt as
they were paid with proceeds of the bridge financing in July 2004. The
company plans to replace the bridge credit facility with permanent
financing in the near-term. The permanent financing is expected to include
the issuance of approximately $425.0 million in new common equity,
$1,100.0 million in unsecured public bonds, with the remainder being
financed through bank loans.
As of June 30, 2004, the company had a committed revolving credit facility
of $350.0 million that expires on July 17, 2006. This facility permits the
company to borrow at or below the United States prime rate. As of June 30,
2004, there were outstanding borrowings under these facilities of $75.0
million, the proceeds of which were used to fund the repayment of
previously outstanding commercial paper and marine terminal bonds, and
liabilities associated with the termination of various floating-to-fixed
rate swaps. In

addition, prior to the closing of the Noveon acquisition, the company
obtained an amendment to this facility to revise the financial covenant
restrictions until September 30, 2004. This facility also permits the
company to refinance beyond one year $350.0 million of debt which by its
terms is due within one year. As a result, the company had classified as
long-term, at December 31, 2003, both the portion of commercial paper
borrowings then expected to remain outstanding throughout the following
year and the amount due under the marine terminal refunding revenue bonds,
whose bondholders had the right to put the bonds back to the company.
In January 2004, the company obtained a revolving credit facility of euro
50 million for the purpose of financing acquisitions. On June 30, 2004,
the company repaid the outstanding euro 43.0 million borrowed under this
facility in January 2004 to finance a portion of the hyperdispersants
acquisition. The company cancelled this credit facility effective June 30,
2004.
In May 2000, the company borrowed $18.4 million through the issuance of
marine terminal refunding revenue bonds, the proceeds of which were used
to repay previously issued marine terminal refunding revenue bonds. The
bonds had a stated maturity of July 1, 2018; however, the company called
the bonds, at par, effective June 1, 2004.
In July 2002, the company terminated its interest rate swap agreements
expiring December 2008, which converted fixed rate interest on $100.0
million of its 5.875% debentures to a variable rate. In terminating the
swaps, the company received cash of $18.1 million, which is being
amortized as a reduction of interest expense through December 1, 2008, the
due date of the underlying debt. Gains and losses on terminations of
interest rate swap agreements designated as fair value hedges are deferred
as an adjustment to the carrying amount of the outstanding obligation and
amortized as an adjustment to interest expense related to the obligation
over the remaining term of the original contract life of the terminated
swap agreement. In the event of early extinguishment of the outstanding
obligation, any unamortized gain or loss from the swaps would be
recognized in the consolidated statement of income at the time of such
extinguishment. In 2002, the company recorded a $17.3 million unrealized
gain, net of accrued interest, on the termination of the interest rate
swaps as an increase in the underlying long-term debt. The remaining
unrealized gain is $12.1 million and $13.4 million at June 30, 2004 and
December 31, 2003, respectively.
In June 2004, the company entered into interest rate swap agreements that
effectively convert the interest on $200.0 million of outstanding 5.875%
notes due 2008 to a variable rate of six-month LIBOR plus 111 basis
points. These swaps are designated as fair value hedges of underlying
fixed rate debt obligations and are recorded as an increase in noncurrent
assets and long-term debt. These interest rate swaps qualify for the
short-cut method for assessing hedge effectiveness per SFAS 133,
"Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities." The
change in fair value of the interest rate swaps at June 30, 2004 was $1.4
million.
The company also has an interest rate swap agreement that expires in
October 2006 that exchanges variable rate interest obligations on a
notional principal amount of Japanese yen 500 million for a fixed rate of
2.0%. This interest rate swap is designated as a cash flow hedge.

After the announcement of the Noveon acquisition, the company's long-term
debt and commercial paper credit ratings were reduced. The credit rating
change eliminated the company's access to the commercial paper market. As
a result, in April 2004, the company terminated its interest rate swap
agreements expiring in March 2005, which exchanged variable rate interest
obligations on a notional principal amount of $50.0 million for a fixed
rate of 7.6%. The termination of the swap agreements resulted in a $2.9
million pre-tax charge recognized in the second quarter 2004.
In June 2004, the company entered into several Treasury rate lock
agreements with an aggregate notional principal amount of $900.0 million,
all maturing September 30, 2004, whereby the company has locked in
Treasury rates relating to a portion of its anticipated $1,100.0 million
public bond issuance. These rate locks are designated as cash flow hedges
of the forecasted semi-annual interest payments associated with the
expected debt issuance. Accordingly, the change in fair value of these
contracts of $12.2 million ($8.0 million net of tax) was recorded in other
comprehensive income at June 30, 2004.
10. CONTINGENCIES
The company has numerous purchase commitments for materials, supplies and
energy in the ordinary course of business. The company has numerous sales
commitments for product supply contracts in the ordinary course of
business.
GENERAL. There are pending or threatened claims, lawsuits and
administrative proceedings against the company or its subsidiaries, all
arising from the ordinary course of business with respect to commercial,
product liability and environmental matters, which seek remedies or
damages. The company believes that any liability that may finally be
determined with respect to commercial and product liability claims should
not have a material adverse effect on the company's consolidated financial
position, results of operations or cash flows. From time to time, the
company is also involved in legal proceedings as a plaintiff involving
contract, patent protection, environmental and other matters. Gain
contingencies, if any, are recognized when they are realized.
ENVIRONMENTAL. The company and its subsidiaries are generators of both
hazardous and non-hazardous wastes, the treatment, storage, transportation
and disposal of which are regulated by various laws and governmental
regulations. Although the company believes past operations were in
substantial compliance with the then-applicable regulations, either the
company or the predecessor company of Noveon, Performance Materials
Segment of Goodrich, have been designated as a potentially responsible
party (PRP) by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), or similar
state agencies, in connection with several disposal sites. These laws and
regulations, including the Comprehensive Environmental Response,
Compensation and Liability Act of 1980 and similar state laws, generally
impose liability for costs to investigate and remediate contamination
without regard to fault and under certain circumstances liability may be
joint and several resulting in one responsible party being held
responsible for the entire obligation. Liability may also include damages
to natural resources.
The company initiates corrective and/or preventive environmental projects
to ensure environmental compliance and safe and lawful activities at its
current operations. The company also conducts a compliance and management
systems audit program.

THE LUBRIZOL CORPORATION
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
Amounts in millions (except per share data)
June 30, 2004
The company's environmental engineers and consultants review and monitor
environmental issues at past and existing operating sites, as well as
off-site disposal sites at which the company has been identified as a PRP.
This process includes investigation and remedial action selection and
implementation, as well as negotiations with other PRPs and governmental
agencies. Our estimates of environmental liabilities are based on the
results of this process.
The company's environmental reserves totaled $30.6 million at June 30,
2004 and $9.8 million at December 31, 2003. Of these amounts, $3.7 million
and $1.2 million were included in current liabilities at June 30, 2004 and
December 31, 2003, respectively.
The increase in the company's environmental reserves at June 30, 2004
compared with December 31, 2003, primarily was due to the Noveon
acquisition. The company's June 30, 2004 balance sheet includes
liabilities, measured on an undiscounted basis, of $19.4 million to cover
future environmental expenditures either payable by Noveon or
indemnifiable by Goodrich. Accordingly, the current portion of the
environmental obligations of $1.2 million is recorded in accrued expenses
and $1.4 million of the recovery due from Goodrich is recorded in accounts
receivable. Non-current liabilities include $18.2 million and other
non-current assets include $6.7 million reflecting the recovery due from
Goodrich.
Goodrich provided Noveon with an indemnity for various environmental
liabilities. The company estimates Goodrich's share of such currently
identified liabilities under the indemnity, which extends to 2011, to be
about $8.1 million. In addition to Goodrich's indemnity, several other
indemnities from third parties such as past owners relate to specific
environmental liabilities. Goodrich and other third party indemnitors are
currently indemnifying Noveon for several environmental remediation
projects. Goodrich's share of all of these liabilities may increase to the
extent such third parties fail to honor their indemnity obligations
through 2011.
The company believes that its environmental accruals are adequate based on
currently available information. The company believes that it is
reasonably possible that additional costs may be incurred beyond the
amounts accrued as a result of new information, newly discovered
conditions or a change in the law. Additionally, as the indemnification
from Goodrich extends through 2011, changes in assumptions regarding when
costs will be incurred may result in additional expenses to the company.
However, the additional costs, if any, cannot currently be estimated.
11. GUARANTOR AND NON-GUARANTOR SUBSIDIARY INFORMATION
The repayment of the debt securities is expected to be unconditionally
guaranteed on a joint and several basis by the company and its direct and
indirect, 100 percent-owned, domestic subsidiaries. The following
supplemental consolidating condensed financial information presents the

THE LUBRIZOL CORPORATION
Item 2 - Management's Discussion and Analysis of
Financial Condition and Results of Operations
OVERVIEW
We are a leading global producer and marketer of technologically advanced
chemicals and specialty materials for the transportation, consumer and
industrial markets. Our business is founded on technological leadership and
innovation that provides opportunities for us in growth markets and advantages
over our competitors. From a base of approximately 3,000 patents, we use our
product development and formulation expertise to sustain our leading market
positions and fuel our future growth. We create additives, ingredients, resins
and compounds that enhance the performance, quality and value of our customers'
products. Our products are used in a broad range of applications, and are sold
into stable markets such as those for engine oils, specialty driveline
lubricants and metalworking fluids, as well as higher growth markets such as
personal care and pharmaceutical products and performance coatings and inks. Our
specialty materials products are also used in a variety of industries, including
the telecommunications, construction, footwear and automotive industries. We are
an industry leader in the majority of our businesses.
On June 3, 2004, we completed the acquisition of Noveon International, Inc.
(Noveon), a leading global producer and marketer of technologically advanced
specialty materials and chemicals used in the industrial and consumer markets.
With the acquisition of Noveon, we have accelerated our program to attain a
substantial presence in the personal care and coatings markets by adding a
number of higher growth, industry-leading products under highly recognizable
brand names, including Carbopol(R) and Hycar(R), to our already strong portfolio
of lubricant and fuel additives, and consumer products. Additionally, Noveon has
a number of industry-leading and strong, cash flow-generating specialty
materials businesses, including TempRite(R) CPVC and Estane(R) TPU.
Noveon was acquired for cash of $920.2 million plus transaction costs of $10.5
million less certain seller expenses of $32.9 million and less cash acquired of
$103.0 million. In addition, we assumed $1,103.1 million of long-term
indebtedness from Noveon. Noveon had 2003 revenues of $1,135.9 million.
The acquisition and related costs were financed with the proceeds of a $2,450.0
million 364-day bridge credit facility. Shortly after the acquisition, we repaid
substantially all of the assumed long-term debt with proceeds of the temporary
bridge loan. We expect the temporary bridge loan will be replaced with the
proceeds of the permanent financing that we will obtain by the end of the third
quarter in the form of a term loan, debt securities and an equity issuance. At
June 30, 2004, there was $1,797.0 million outstanding on the temporary bridge
loan.
Our consolidated balance sheet as of June 30, 2004 reflects the acquisition of
Noveon under the purchase method of accounting. We recorded various assets
acquired and liabilities assumed, primarily working capital accounts, of Noveon
at their estimated fair values that we determined based on the information
currently available. Appraisals of long-lived assets and identifiable intangible
assets, including an evaluation of in-process research and development (IPR&D)
projects, are currently underway and will be completed at various times within
the next twelve months. In addition, we are valuing the projected pension and
other post-employment benefit obligations and we have reflected estimates of
these in the preliminary allocation of purchase price. These amounts are subject
to adjustment based on the completion of the valuations and appraisals.
Accordingly, the preliminary purchase price allocation is subject to revision.
29
THE LUBRIZOL CORPORATION
Item 2 - Management's Discussion and Analysis of
Financial Condition and Results of Operations
The purchase price includes the estimated fair value of research and development
projects of $35.0 million that, as of the acquisition date, had not reached
technological feasibility and had no alternative future use. As a result, we
immediately expensed this amount in the second quarter of 2004. The inventory
step-up to fair value totaled $24.2 million. We expensed $4.9 million of the
inventory step-up to cost of sales in the second quarter and we estimate that
$4.9 million of inventory step-up will be expensed to cost of sales in the third
quarter of 2004. As the remaining step-up relates to inventories on the LIFO
(last-in, first-out) method of accounting, we do not anticipate that additional
amounts of the step-up will be expensed through cost of sales in 2004.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Our revenues increased in the second quarter of 2004 as compared with the second
quarter of 2003, primarily due to acquisitions. Excluding acquisitions, revenues
increased primarily due to higher ongoing shipment volume and favorable
currency. The increased revenues partially were offset by higher raw material
costs, manufacturing expenses and selling and administrative expenses. The 2004
second quarter also included significant purchase accounting charges associated
with the acquisition of Noveon and incremental acquisition-related financing
costs. Primarily as a result of these factors, net income decreased 87% in the
second quarter of 2004, compared with the same period in 2003.
As a result of the June 3, 2004 acquisition of Noveon, we reorganized into two
operating and reporting segments: lubricant additives and specialty chemicals.
Lubricant additives comprised approximately 78% our consolidated revenues and
89% of our segment operating income for the first six months of 2004. See Note 5
to the financial statements and the "Segment Analysis" section for further
financial disclosures by reporting segment.

Consolidated revenues increased 40% in the second quarter of 2004 and 27% in the
first six months of 2004 compared to the same periods in 2003, primarily due to
acquisitions and higher ongoing shipment volume. Acquisitions in 2004 included
Noveon International and the hyperdispersants business purchased from Avecia.
Acquisitions in 2003 included the personal care specialty ingredients business
purchased from Amerchol Corporation, a subsidiary of The Dow Chemical Company,
and the silicone product lines purchased from BASF. The Noveon acquisition
contributed $109.9 million towards the increase in revenues in both the second
quarter of 2004 and the first six months of 2004 compared with the same periods
in 2003.

Cost of sales increased 42% in the second quarter of 2004 and 29% in the first
six months of 2004 compared with the same periods in 2003, due to acquisitions,
higher average raw material cost and higher manufacturing expenses. Excluding
acquisitions, average raw material cost increased 8% in both the second quarter
and the first six months of 2004 compared with the same periods in 2003,
primarily due to an increase in the combination of raw material prices and
product mix along with unfavorable currency effects. Material cost included
purchase adjustments associated with the increased valuation of inventory of
$5.8 million in the second quarter of 2004 and $6.7 million in the first six
months of 2004 for the Noveon and hyperdispersants acquisitions. The Noveon
purchase adjustment for the increased valuation of inventory was $4.9 million,
or $0.06 per share, in the second quarter of 2004. Looking forward, we expect
continued upward pressure on raw material prices.

THE LUBRIZOL CORPORATION
Item 2 - Management's Discussion and Analysis of

Total manufacturing expenses, which are included in cost of sales, increased 32%
in the second quarter of 2004 and 24% in the first six months of 2004 compared
with the same periods in 2003, primarily due to acquisitions. Excluding
acquisitions, total manufacturing expenses increased 6% in the second quarter of
2004 and 9% in the first six months of 2004 compared with the same periods in
2003, primarily due to unfavorable currency and higher incentive compensation
expense. The first six months of manufacturing expense also included $2.0
million for an environmental accrual relating to remediation at our Texas
manufacturing facility. Excluding acquisitions, currency and the environmental
accrual adjustment, manufacturing expenses increased 3% in the second quarter of
2004 and 4% in the first six months of 2004 compared with the same periods in
2003.
Gross profit (net sales less cost of sales) increased $49.0 million, or 35%
($16.7 million, or 12%, excluding acquisitions), in the second quarter of 2004
and $61.9 million, or 22% ($22.8 million, or 8%, excluding acquisitions), in the
first six months of 2004 compared with the same periods in 2003. Excluding
acquisitions, the increase primarily was due to higher shipment volume and
favorable currency, partially offset by higher average raw material cost and
higher manufacturing costs. Our gross profit percentage (gross profit divided by
net sales) decreased to 26.5% in the second quarter of 2004 and 26.4% in the
first six months of 2004, compared to 27.5% in both the second quarter and first
half of 2003. The decrease for both periods primarily was due to higher raw
material costs. Sequentially, the gross profit percentage increased in the
second quarter of 2004 compared with 26.2% in the first quarter of 2004 and
24.9% in the fourth quarter of 2003.
Excluding acquisitions, selling and administrative expenses increased 13% in the
second quarter and 6% in the first six months of 2004 compared with the same
periods in 2003, primarily due to higher incentive compensation expense and
unfavorable currency.
Research, testing and development expenses (technology expenses), excluding
acquisitions, decreased 1% in the second quarter of 2004 and 2% in the first six
months of 2004 compared with the same periods in 2003, primarily due to lower
testing activity at outside laboratories, partially offset by unfavorable
currency and higher incentive compensation expense.
Beginning in 2004, we have reclassified amortization of intangible assets as a
separate line item of expense for all periods reported. Previously this item had
been included within other income (expense). The increased amortization expense
in the second quarter and the first six months of 2004 compared with the same
periods in 2003, primarily was due to the Noveon and hyperdispersants
acquisitions in 2004 and the personal care specialty ingredients business
acquisition in 2003.
We included a one-time, non-cash charge of $35.0 million, or $0.42 per share, in
total costs and expenses for the second quarter of 2004 and the first six months
of 2004 to write-off the estimated fair value of acquired IPR&D projects
associated with the Noveon acquisition. Costs to acquire IPR&D projects that
have no alternative future use and that have not reached technological
feasibility at the date of acquisition are expensed upon acquisition. We based
the estimated value of IPR&D projects on third-party valuations of the fair
values of IPR&D costs.
In the second quarter of 2004 we recorded a restructuring charge of $8.0
million, or $0.10 per share, consisting of workforce reductions of $6.4 million
and a write-off of $1.6 million of impaired assets related to PuriNOx(TM)
technology. We eliminated 95 positions, primarily at our Wickliffe, Ohio
headquarters. We expect these reductions will be completed by the end of the

third quarter in 2004. The second-half 2004 pre-tax restructuring charge will
include an estimated $6.0 million non-cash pension benefit settlement charge and
the remainder of the employee severance costs associated with the workforce
reductions, approximating $3.0 million.
In the second quarter of 2003, we recorded a restructuring charge of $3.5
million, or $0.05 per share, primarily related to our Bromborough, England
intermediate production and blending facility. The charge was comprised of $2.8
million for asset write-offs and employee severance at our Bromborough facility
and $0.7 million for a voluntary separation program at our joint venture in
India. In the first half of 2003, the total restructuring charge was $7.0
million, or $0.09 per share, which included $6.3 million for Bromborough and
$0.7 million for India. The Bromborough charge primarily consisted of $2.8
million in employee separation benefits and $3.3 million in asset impairment
charges for production units taken out of service.

The decrease in other income (expense) in the second quarter of 2004 compared to
the same period in 2003, was due to currency translation losses. Other income
for the first six months of 2004 included a gain of $6.4 million ($.08 per
share) on a currency forward contract to purchase pound sterling related to the
acquisition of the hyperdispersants business. We secured the forward contract in
December 2003 and completed the acquisition at the end of January 2004. This
gain partially was offset by other currency translation losses.
34
THE LUBRIZOL CORPORATION
Item 2 - Management's Discussion and Analysis of
Financial Condition and Results of Operations
The increase in net interest expense for both the second quarter and first six
months of 2004 compared to the same periods in 2003, primarily was due to the
Noveon acquisition-related financing costs of $12.2 million, or $0.14 per share,
comprised of bridge loan and Noveon interest of $6.5 million, amortization of
bridge loan fees of $2.8 million and termination of an interest rate swap of
$2.9 million.
We had an effective tax rate of 59.8% in the second quarter of 2004 and 37.8% in
the first six months of 2004, compared with 31.1% in the second quarter of 2003
and 32.0% in the first six months of 2003. The increase in the effective tax
rate for both periods in 2004 primarily was due to significant non-taxable
currency gains that occurred in 2003 but did not repeat in 2004, and the
unfavorable impact of the Noveon acquisition on our U.S. tax rate. Noveon's U.S.
tax loss carryforwards, combined with the interest expense associated with the
acquisition financing, will reduce our ability to claim U.S. foreign tax credits
and to obtain U.S. tax benefits on exports. The second quarter tax provision was
unusually high because it reflected the cumulative year-to-date impact of these
items on our effective tax rate. We estimate our 2004 effective tax rate will be
37.5%, excluding the tax effect of the restructuring charge, which had a 35% tax
rate.
Primarily as a result of the above factors, our net income per share was $0.08
for the second quarter of 2004 compared with $0.57 for the second quarter of
2003 and $0.80 for the first six months of 2004 compared with $1.07 for the
first six months of 2003. Earnings in both the second quarter and first six
months of 2004 included a one-time write-off for IPR&D projects from the Noveon
acquisition of $0.42 per share, a purchase adjustment associated with the
increased valuation of Noveon-acquired inventory of $0.06 per share, a
restructuring charge of $0.10 per share, incremental acquisition-related
financing costs of $0.14 per share and an increase in the effective tax rate
compared to the first quarter 2004 rate equivalent to $0.08 per share. Earnings
in 2004 benefited from Noveon's June operating income of $10.7 million, or $0.13
per share, before financing costs and purchase accounting adjustments. Earnings
in the first six months of 2004 also included a gain on a currency forward
contract of $0.08 per share. The 2003 restructuring charge reduced earnings
$0.05 per share in the second quarter of 2003 and $0.09 per share in the first
half of 2003.
SEGMENT ANALYSIS
Beginning in the second quarter of 2004, we reorganized our business into two
operating and reporting segments: the lubricant additives segment, also known as
Lubrizol Additives, and the specialty chemicals segment, also known as the
Noveon segment. The lubricant additives segment represents approximately 55% of
annualized consolidated revenues and is comprised of our previous business in
fluid technologies for transportation, advanced fluid systems, emulsified
products and the former industrial additives product group of fluid technologies
for industry. The specialty chemicals segment represents approximately 45% of
annualized consolidated revenues and is comprised of the businesses of the
acquired Noveon International and the former performance chemicals group of
fluid technologies for industry. Note 5 to the financial statements contains our
segment reporting disclosure including a further description of the nature of
our operations, the product lines within each of the operating segments, segment
profitability and related financial disclosures for the reportable segments.
35
THE LUBRIZOL CORPORATION
Item 2 - Management's Discussion and Analysis of
Financial Condition and Results of Operations
We primarily evaluate performance and allocate resources based on segment
operating income, defined as revenues less expenses identifiable to the product
lines included within each segment, as well as projected future returns. As part
of reorganizing our business into two operating segments, we have reclassified
certain administrative expenses that previously were deducted in arriving at
segment operating income and are now classified as unallocated corporate
expenses. Segment operating income will reconcile to consolidated income before
tax by deducting the write-off of acquired IPR&D projects, restructuring
charges, net interest expense, corporate expenses and corporate other income
that we do not attribute to either operating segment.
We have restated current year and prior year amounts to reflect the new
reporting classifications of products between the two operating segments and the
new definition of segment operating income.

Lubricant Additives Segment
Revenues increased 15% in the second quarter of 2004 compared to the same period
in 2003, primarily due to 12% higher volume with the remainder due to higher
average selling price driven almost entirely by favorable currency. The
combination of real selling price and product mix was neutral. Revenues
increased 12% in the first six months of 2004 compared to the same period in the
prior year, primarily due to 7% higher volume, 4% favorable currency and 1%
higher product mix and price. Sequentially, shipment volume in the second
quarter of 2004 increased 7% over the first quarter of 2004 and 15% over the
fourth quarter of 2003.
The following table shows our shipment volume by geographic zone in the second

Overall, higher shipment volume in the second quarter of 2004 compared to the
same period in 2003 partially was due to market recovery for finished lubricant
demand. The shipment volume increase in North America for both periods primarily
resulted from increases in our driveline and industrial additives product lines
due to market share gains as well as market recovery. Higher shipment volume in
Europe in the second quarter primarily was due to increases in our engine
additives product lines due to lost marine diesel business that occurred after
the first quarter of 2003, which subsequently was regained late in the first
quarter of 2004. In addition, we experienced some business gains in our
industrial additives product lines. The shipment volume increase in Asia-Pacific
for both periods primarily was due to economic recovery, market share gains in
China and favorable timing of orders. The decrease in Latin America was
associated with the loss of a major international customer that we previously
disclosed in 2003.
37
THE LUBRIZOL CORPORATION
Item 2 - Management's Discussion and Analysis of
Financial Condition and Results of Operations
Lubrizol Additives implemented a price increase in March 2004 for products
sourced from North America plants and in the second quarter 2004 for products
sourced from Asia-Pacific and Latin America. We announced a second price
increase in June 2004, which was effective beginning in mid-June for products
sourced from North America and Europe billed in U.S. dollar currency and
beginning in mid-July for products sourced from Latin America. We will also
begin implementing previously announced price increases in August for products
sourced from Asia-Pacific. The announced price increases were in response to raw
material cost increases and continuing high prices for natural gas used for
utilities in our plants.
Segment gross profit is defined as sales less cost of sales, which include
material cost and all manufacturing expenses. The 13% increase in segment gross
profit in the second quarter of 2004 and the 8% increase in the first six months
of 2004, compared with the same periods in 2003, primarily was due to higher
revenues partially offset by higher average raw material cost and manufacturing
expenses. In the second quarter of 2004, average material cost increased 7% and
manufacturing expenses increased 6%, compared to the second quarter of 2003. In
the first six months of 2004, average material cost increased 8% and
manufacturing expenses increased 10%, compared to the first six months of 2003.
The increase in manufacturing expenses for both periods primarily was due to
higher throughput, higher incentive compensation expense and unfavorable
currency.
The gross profit percentage for the segment was 27.6% for the second quarter of
2004 compared with 28.1% for the second quarter of 2003 and 26.9% for the first
six months of 2004 compared with 27.8% in the first six months of 2003. The
decrease primarily was due to higher average raw material cost.
Selling, technical, administrative and research (STAR) expenses increased $3.3
million, or 5% for the second quarter of 2004, compared with the second quarter
of 2003, primarily due to higher incentive compensation expense and currency
effects. STAR expenses increased $1.1 million, or 1% in the first six months of
2004, compared with the same period in 2003 due to higher incentive compensation
expense and currency effects, partially offset by a $1.3 million decrease in
technical expenses, primarily due to lower outside testing expenses as a result
of higher utilization of our internal testing facilities.
Segment operating income (revenues less expenses attributable to the product
lines aggregated within each segment) increased 24% for the second quarter of
2004 and increased 19% for the first six months of 2004, compared with the same
periods in 2003, due to higher gross profit that was partially offset by higher
expenses.

Specialty Chemicals Segment
Revenues increased 225% in the second quarter of 2004 and 140% in the first six
months of 2004 compared with the same periods in 2003, primarily due to the 2004
acquisitions of Noveon and the hyperdispersants business and the 2003
acquisition of the personal care specialty ingredients business. Excluding
acquisitions, revenues increased 11% in the second quarter of 2004 compared to
the same period in 2003, due to 5% higher shipment volumes, 2% favorable
currency impact and 3% stronger price and product mix. Excluding acquisitions,
segment revenues increased 14% in the first six months of 2004 compared to the
same period in the prior year primarily due to 8% higher volume, 3% favorable
currency and 3% stronger price and product mix. The higher priced product mix
for both the second quarter 2004 and the first six months of 2004 primarily
occurred in our consumer specialties product line.

Excluding acquisitions, the shipment volume increase in North America for both
periods primarily was due to market share gains and growth in the fermentation
industry in our consumer specialties product line. This product line also
benefited for the first six months of 2004 from the extension of the 2003 sugar
beet season. Additionally, the second quarter 2004 shipment volume was higher
due to improvements in the mining sector. The increase in Europe for both
periods was due to the impact of an improving European economy and market share
gains in our performance coatings product line. The increase in Asia-Pacific /

THE LUBRIZOL CORPORATION
Item 2 - Management's Discussion and Analysis of

Middle East for both periods was due to higher shipment volume in our
performance coatings product line as approvals we have obtained in the United
States and Europe are being transferred by our customers to Asia. The first six
month comparison in this region also benefited from market share gains in our
consumer specialties product line. The increase in Latin America for both
periods primarily was due to new business and market share gains in our consumer
specialties product line.
Segment gross profit increased 225% (2% excluding acquisitions) in the second
quarter of 2004 and 138% (5% excluding acquisitions) in the first half of 2004
compared with the same periods in 2003. Excluding acquisitions, the increase in
segment gross profit for both periods was due to increased revenues as a result
of higher shipment volume and higher price and product mix partially offset by
higher raw material costs. The increase in segment gross profit for the first
six months of 2004 compared to the same period in 2003 partially was also offset
by higher manufacturing expenses. The gross profit percentage for this segment
was 23.6% in the second quarter of 2004 and 24.4% in the first half of 2004,
compared with 23.6% and 24.6% in the respective periods in 2003. Excluding
acquisitions, the gross profit percentage was 21.7% in the first quarter of 2004
and 22.5% in the first six months of 2004. The decrease in gross profit
percentage for both periods was due to higher raw material costs that partially
were offset by higher product price and mix. We began implementing price
increases during the first quarter of 2004 in the range of 3% to 5% in response
to the rising raw material costs.
STAR expenses increased $19.5 million, or 143%, for the second quarter of 2004
and increased $22.8 million, or 83%, for the first six months of 2004 compared
with the same periods in 2003, primarily due to acquisitions.
Segment operating income increased in the second quarter and first six months of
2004 compared with the same periods in 2003, primarily due to the impact of
acquisitions.
PRO FORMA INFORMATION
The following table presents major components of and information derived from
the pro forma consolidated statements of income and pro forma consolidated
statements of cash flows. The major components of the pro forma consolidated
statements of income and pro forma consolidated statements of cash flows reflect
the effect of the acquisition of Noveon International, Inc. on June 3, 2004 as
if the acquisition occurred at the beginning of each of the periods reflected in
the table. We believe that this data provides the financial statement reader
with information that is useful in understanding the impact of the acquisition
of Noveon International, Inc. on our results of operations and cash flows.
40
The components of and information derived from the pro forma consolidated
statements of income and the pro forma consolidated statements of cash flows for
the three-month period ended June 30, 2004 are derived from our unaudited
consolidated financial statements for the three-month period ended June 30, 2004
and the unaudited consolidated financial statements of Noveon International,
Inc. for the period from April 1, 2004 to the acquisition date. The components
of and information derived from the pro forma consolidated statements of income
and the pro forma consolidated statements of cash flows for the three-month
period ended June 30, 2003 are derived from our unaudited consolidated financial
statements for the three-month period ended June 30, 2003 and the unaudited
consolidated financial statements of Noveon International, Inc. for the
three-month period ended June 30, 2003. The components of and information
derived from the pro forma consolidated statements of income and the pro forma
consolidated statements of cash flows for the six-month period ended June 30,
2004 are derived from our unaudited consolidated financial statements for the
six-month period ended June 30, 2004 and the unaudited consolidated financial
statements of Noveon International, Inc. for the period from January 1, 2004 to
the acquisition date. The components of and information derived from the pro
forma consolidated statements of income and the pro forma consolidated
statements of cash flows for the six-month period ended June 30, 2003 are
derived from our unaudited consolidated financial statements for the six-month
period ended June 30, 2003 and the unaudited consolidated financial statements
of Noveon International, Inc. for the six-month period ended June 30, 2003.
Our consolidated balance sheet as of June 30, 2004 reflects the acquisition of
Noveon International, Inc. under the purchase method of accounting. We recorded
various assets acquired and liabilities assumed, primarily working capital
accounts, of Noveon International, Inc. at their estimated fair values that we
determined based on the information currently available. Appraisals of
long-lived assets and identifiable intangible assets, including an evaluation of
IPR&D projects, are currently underway and will be completed at various times
within the next twelve months. In addition, we are valuing the projected pension
and other post-employment benefit obligations and we have reflected estimates of
these in the preliminary allocation of purchase price. These amounts are subject
to adjustment based on the completion of the valuations and appraisals.
Accordingly, the preliminary purchase price allocation is subject to revision.
The pro forma data gives effect to actual operating results of Noveon
International, Inc. prior to the acquisition. Adjustments to cost of sales for
the inventory set-up charge of $9.8 million, the write-off of acquired IPR&D of
$35.0 million and estimated intangible asset amortization are reflected in the
pro forma data for each period in the table. The entire inventory step-up charge
is attributable to the specialty chemicals segment and is reflected in each pro
forma period of the table. This pro forma data is consistent with the pro forma
data that is disclosed in Note 2 to the unaudited consolidated financial
statements for the six-month period ended June 30, 2004. These pro forma amounts
do not purport to be indicative of the results that would have actually been
obtained if the acquisition had occurred as of the beginning of the periods
presented or that may be obtained in the future.

Net decrease in cash and

======== ======== ========
Operating Activities:
The increase in cash provided from operating activities in the first six months
of 2004 compared with the same period in the prior year, primarily was due to an
increase in earnings after adjusting for non-cash items, specifically the $35.0
million write-off of acquired IPR&D projects from the Noveon acquisition. We
also had a working capital build-up in accounts receivable, which consumed cash
of $77.0 million. Our receivables increased by $265.1 million from the prior
year-end, primarily due to the Noveon and hyperdispersants acquisitions. Days
sales in receivables averaged 53.4 days in the first six months of 2004, which
approximates our target for 2004 of 53.5 days. Days sales in inventory averaged
88 days for the first six months of 2004 compared with our 2004 target of 90
days.
Investing Activities:
Our capital expenditures in the first six months of 2004 were $42.2 million, as
compared with $36.8 million for same period in 2003. In 2004, we estimate
capital expenditures will be in the range of $135.0 million to $140.0 million,
compared with $88.5 million in 2003. The 2004 estimate includes approximately
$40.0 million for the newly acquired Noveon business.
In June 2004, we completed the Noveon acquisition for cash of $920.2 million
plus transaction costs of $10.5 million less certain seller expenses of $32.9
million and less cash acquired of $103.0 million.
In January 2004, we completed the acquisition of the hyperdispersants business
of Avecia for cash totaling $133.0 million. This additives business is
headquartered in Blackley, United Kingdom, and develops, manufactures and
markets high-value additives that are based on polymeric dispersion technology
and used in coatings and inks. These products enrich and strengthen color while
reducing production costs and solvent emissions, and are marketed under the
brand names Solsperse(TM), Solplus(TM) and Solthix(TM). Historical annualized
revenues of this business are approximately $50.0 million. We funded the
acquisition through euro 43.0 million borrowings ($55.0 million equivalent)
under a 364-day credit facility, $5.0 million in yen borrowings and the
remainder in cash. At December 31, 2003, we had a foreign currency forward
contract of $125.0 million in order to fix the U.S. dollar price for this
acquisition. In the first quarter of 2004, we recorded a pre-tax gain of $6.4
million ($0.08 per share) upon the termination of this foreign currency forward
contract.

THE LUBRIZOL CORPORATION
Item 2 - Management's Discussion and Analysis of
Financial Condition and Results of Operations
Financing Activities:
The increase in cash provided from financing activities of $868.9 million in
2004 was due to borrowings of $1,797.0 million under our $2,450.0 million
364-day bridge credit facility, the proceeds of which were used to fund the
Noveon acquisition and repay assumed Noveon debt of $1,103.1 million.
Capitalization and Credit Facilities:
Our net debt to capitalization ratio at June 30, 2004 was 69%. Net debt is the
total of short-term and long-term debt, reduced by cash and short-term
investments excluding unrealized gains and losses on derivative instruments
designated as fair value hedges of fixed-rate debt. Capitalization is
shareholders' equity plus net debt. Total debt as a percent of capitalization
was 71% at June 30, 2004.
After the announcement of the Noveon acquisition, our long-term debt and
commercial paper credit ratings were reduced. The credit rating change
eliminated our access to the commercial paper market. As a result, we repaid our
outstanding commercial paper and we terminated our existing floating-to-fixed
rate interest rate swaps with a notional value of $50.0 million effective April
29, 2004. The termination of the swaps resulted in a $2.9 million dollar pre-tax
charge that was recognized in the second quarter of 2004. In addition, we called
and repaid the outstanding $18.4 million marine terminal refunding revenue
bonds, at par, in the second quarter of 2004.
Our ratio of current assets to current liabilities, excluding $1,797.1 million
short-term debt that we expect to refinance, declined from 3.1 at December 31,
2003 to 1.9 at June 30, 2004, because of the Noveon and hyperdispersants
acquisitions.
At June 30, 2004, we had a $350.0 million revolving credit facility that matures
in July 2006, which allows us to borrow at or below the U.S. prime rate. As of
June 30, 2004, we had outstanding borrowings under this agreement of $75.0
million, the proceeds of which were used to fund the repayment of previously
outstanding commercial paper and marine terminal bonds, and liabilities
associated with the termination of various floating-to-fixed interest rate
swaps.
In May 2004, we obtained a 364-day credit facility of $2,450.0 million for the
purpose of financing the Noveon acquisition. This credit facility enables us to
borrow at or below the U.S. prime rate. In June 2004, we borrowed $1,797.0
million under this facility to finance the Noveon acquisition and repay a
portion of the assumed Noveon debt. In addition, in July 2004 we borrowed an
additional $175.0 million under this facility to repay the outstanding seller
notes also assumed as part of the Noveon acquisition.
We plan to implement a permanent capital structure in the near-term that will
replace the bridge facility. We expect the permanent financing to include
approximately $425.0 million in new common equity and $1,100.0 million in
unsecured public bonds, with the remainder being financed through bank term
loans. At the time this permanent capital structure is in place, we estimate
that our net debt to capitalization will be approximately 55%. Net debt in this
calculation consists of total debt less total cash balances. Our estimated total
debt as a percent of capitalization will be approximately 58%. We have amended
our existing credit facility agreements previously discussed to revise the
financial covenant restrictions until our permanent capital structure is in
place.
44
THE LUBRIZOL CORPORATION
Item 2 - Management's Discussion and Analysis of
Financial Condition and Results of Operations
In January 2004, we obtained a separate revolving credit facility that enabled
us to borrow up to euro 50 million for the purpose of financing European
acquisitions. We borrowed euro 43 million under this facility in January 2004.
This amount was repaid in June 2004 and the credit facility has been cancelled.
Contractual Cash Obligations:
The following table shows our contractual cash obligations (in millions of
dollars) under debt agreements, leases, non-cancelable purchase commitments and
other long-term liabilities at June 30, 2004. Additional information on debt can
be found in Note 9 to the financial statements.
Payments Due by Period

-------- --------- -------- -------- --------
Total debt $2,380.3 $ 191.1 $1,876.8 $ 212.4 $ 100.0

-------- -------- -------- -------- --------
Total contractual
cash obligations $2,750.9 $ 355.9 $1,978.4 $ 279.7 $ 136.9
======== ======== ======== ======== ========
Non-cancelable purchase commitments primarily include raw materials purchased
under take or pay contracts, drumming, warehousing and service contracts,
terminal agreements and toll processing arrangements. Other long-term
liabilities disclosed in the table represent long-term liabilities reported in
our consolidated balance sheet at June 30, 2004, under "other noncurrent
liabilities," excluding pension, postretirement and other non-contractual
liabilities. Total debt includes both the current and long-term portion of debt
as reported in Note 9. While we intend to refinance the bridge loan in 2004, the
bridge loan is not due and payable until May 2005.
We expect to make employer contributions for pension benefits in 2004 consisting
of $10.5 million to the United States qualified plans including Noveon, $2.5
million to the United States non-qualified plan and a range of $5.0 million to
$6.0 million for the United Kingdom plan. In addition, we expect non-pension
postretirement benefit payments in the United States to be approximately $4.2
million in 2004.
We had $2,380.3 million of debt outstanding at June 30, 2004, most of which
originated from our acquisition of Noveon, including bridge loan financing of
$1,797.0 million, which is due in May 2005. As a result, our total debt as a
percent of capitalization has increased from 29% at December 31, 2003 to 71% at
June 30, 2004. We will also incur increased interest expense. We intend to
implement a permanent capital structure in the near-term that will replace the
bridge facility and reduce our interest cost. We expect the permanent capital
structure will include approximately $425.0 million in new common equity. Our
debt level will require us to dedicate a significant portion of our cash flow to
make interest and principal payments, thereby reducing the availability of our
cash flow for acquisitions or other purposes. Nevertheless, we believe our
future operating cash flows will be sufficient to cover our debt repayments and
other obligations and that we have untapped borrowing capacity that can provide
us with additional financial resources.

Financial Condition and Results of Operations
CAUTIONARY STATEMENT FOR SAFE HARBOR PURPOSES
This Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
Operations contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of the federal
securities laws. As a general matter, forward-looking statements are those
focused upon future plans, objectives or performance as opposed to historical
items and include statements of anticipated events or trends and expectations
and beliefs relating to matters not historical in nature. Such forward-looking
statements are subject to uncertainties and factors relating to our operations
and business environment, all of which are difficult to predict and many of
which are beyond our control. These uncertainties and factors could cause our
actual results to differ materially from those matters expressed in or implied
by such forward-looking statements.
We believe that the following factors, among others, could affect our future
performance and cause our actual results to differ materially from those
expressed or implied by forward-looking statements made in this quarterly
report:
- - the effect of interest rate fluctuations on our interest expense;
- - the conditions in the debt and equity markets at the time we implement our
permanent financing;
- - Our ability to refinance our bridge facility by May 27, 2005, when it is
due and payable;
- - Our indebtedness requires the use of a significant portion of our cash
flow to make interest and principal payments, thereby reducing the
availability of our cash flow to fund capital expenditures, acquisitions
or other general corporate purposes;
- - the overall global economic environment and the overall demand for our
products on a worldwide basis;
- - the demand for our products in developing regions such as China and India,
which geographic areas are an announced focus of our activities;
- - technology developments that affect longer-term trends for our products;
- - the extent to which we are successful in expanding our business in new and
existing markets;
- - our ability to identify, complete and integrate acquisitions for
profitable growth, especially our ability to integrate the acquisition of
Noveon International;
- - our success at continuing to develop proprietary technology to meet or
exceed new industry performance standards and individual customer
expectations;
- - our ability to continue to reduce complexities and conversion costs and
modify our cost structure to maintain and enhance our competitiveness;
- - our success in retaining and growing the business that we do with our
largest customers;
- - the cost, availability and quality of raw materials, including
petroleum-based products;
- - the cost and availability of energy, including natural gas and
electricity;

- - the effects of fluctuations in currency exchange rates upon our reported
results from international operations, together with non-currency risks of
investing in and conducting significant operations in foreign countries,
including those relating to political, social, economic and regulatory
factors;

THE LUBRIZOL CORPORATION
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
We operate manufacturing and blending facilities, laboratories and offices
around the world and utilize fixed and variable rate debt to finance our
global operations. As a result, we are subject to business risks inherent
in non-U.S. activities, including political and economic uncertainties,
import and export limitations, and market risks related to changes in
interest rates and foreign currency exchange rates. We believe the
political and economic risks related to our foreign operations are
mitigated due to the stability of the countries in which our largest
foreign operations are located.
In the normal course of business, we use derivative financial instruments
including interest rate and commodity hedges and forward foreign currency
exchange contracts to manage our market risks. Our objective in managing
our exposure to changes in interest rates is to limit the impact of such
changes on our earnings and cash flow. Our objective in managing the
exposure to changes in foreign currency exchange rates is to reduce
volatility on our earnings and cash flow associated with such changes. Our
principal currency exposures are the euro, the pound sterling, the
Japanese yen and certain Latin American currencies. Our objective in
managing our exposure to changes in commodity prices is to reduce the
volatility on earnings of utility expense. We do not hold derivatives for
trading purposes.
We measure our market risk related to our holdings of financial
instruments based on changes in interest rates, foreign currency rates and
commodity prices utilizing a sensitivity analysis. The sensitivity
analysis measures the potential loss in fair value, cash flow and earnings
based on a hypothetical 10% change (increase and decrease) in interest,
currency exchange rates and commodity prices. We use current market rates
on our debt and derivative portfolios to perform the sensitivity analysis.
Certain items such as lease contracts, insurance contracts and obligations
for pension and other postretirement benefits are not included in the
analysis.
Our primary interest rate exposures relate to our cash and short-term
investments, fixed and variable rate debt and interest rate swaps. The
calculation of potential loss in fair value is based on an immediate
change in the net present values of our interest rate-sensitive exposures
resulting from a 10% change in interest rates. The potential loss in cash
flow and income before tax is based on the change in the net interest
income/expense over a one-year period due to an immediate 10% change in
rates. A hypothetical 10% increase in interest rates would have had a
favorable impact and a hypothetical 10% decrease in interest rates would
have had an unfavorable impact on fair values of $53.0 million and cash
flows of $38.8 million in 2004. In addition, a hypothetical 10% increase
in interest rates would have had an unfavorable impact and a hypothetical
10% decrease in interest would have had a favorable impact on income
before tax of $3.1 million in 2004.
Our primary currency rate exposures are to foreign-denominated debt,
intercompany debt, cash and short-term investments and forward foreign
currency exchange contracts. The calculation of potential loss in fair
value is based on an immediate change in the United States dollar
equivalent balances of our currency exposures due to a 10% shift in
exchange rates. The potential loss in cash flow and income before tax is
based on the change in cash flow and income before tax over a one-year
period resulting from an immediate 10% change in currency exchange rates.
A hypothetical 10% increase in currency exchange rates would have had an
unfavorable impact and a hypothetical 10% decrease in currency exchange
rates would have had a favorable impact on fair values of $15.3 million,
cash flows of $31.6 million and income before tax of $12.7 million in
2003.
48
THE LUBRIZOL CORPORATION
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
Our primary commodity hedge exposures relate to natural gas and electric
utility expenses. The calculation of potential loss in fair value is based
on an immediate change in the United States dollar equivalent balances of
our commodity exposures due to a 10% shift in the underlying commodity
prices. The potential loss in cash flow and income before tax is based on
the change in cash flow and income before tax over a one-year period
resulting from an immediate 10% change in commodity prices. A hypothetical
10% increase in commodity prices would have had a favorable impact and a
hypothetical 10% decrease in commodity prices would have had an
unfavorable impact on fair value of $0.3 million, cash flow of $0.3
million, and income before tax of $0.3 million in 2003.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures
We evaluated, under the supervision and with the participation of our
chief executive officer and chief financial officer, the effectiveness of
our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Exchange Act Rule
13a-15(e)) as of June 30, 2004. Based on that evaluation, our chief
executive officer and chief financial officer concluded that, as of June
30, 2004, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective in timely
alerting them to material information relating to Lubrizol and our
consolidated subsidiaries required to be included in our periodic SEC
filings. During the second quarter of 2004, we expanded our disclosure
controls to integrate the Noveon acquisition. Otherwise, there were no
significant changes in our internal control over financial reporting that
occurred during the second quarter of 2004 that have materially affected,
or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over
financial reporting.
