NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Dollars in thousands, except per share data
(unaudited)

1. Description of the Business

Libbey is the leading producer of glass tableware products in the Western Hemisphere, in addition to supplying key markets throughout the world. We produce glass tableware in five countries and sell to customers in over 100 countries. We have the largest manufacturing, distribution and service network among glass tableware manufacturers in the Western Hemisphere and are one of the largest glass tableware manufacturers in the world. We design and market an extensive line of high-quality glass tableware, ceramic dinnerware, metal flatware, hollowware and serveware to a broad group of customers in the foodservice, retail and business-to-business markets. We own and operate two glass tableware manufacturing plants in the United States as well as glass tableware manufacturing plants in the Netherlands, Portugal, China and Mexico. Until April 28, 2011, we also owned and operated a plastics plant in Wisconsin. On April 28, 2011, we sold substantially all of the assets of our plastics subsidiary, Traex, to the Vollrath Company. See note 14 for further discussion of this transaction. In addition, we import products from overseas in order to complement our line of manufactured items. The combination of manufacturing and procurement allows us to compete in the global tableware market by offering an extensive product line at competitive prices.

Our website can be found at www.libbey.com. We make available, free of charge, at this website all of our reports filed or furnished pursuant to Section 13(a) or 15(d) of Securities Exchange Act of 1934, including our annual report on Form 10-K, our quarterly reports on Form 10-Q, our current reports on Form 8-K, as well as amendments to those reports. These reports are made available on our website as soon as reasonably practicable after their filing with, or furnishing to, the Securities and Exchange Commission and can also be found at www.sec.gov.

Our shares are traded on the NYSE Amex exchange under the ticker symbol LBY.

2. Significant Accounting Policies

See our Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010 for a description of significant accounting policies not listed below.

Basis of Presentation

The Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements include Libbey Inc. and its majority-owned subsidiaries (collectively, Libbey or the Company). Our fiscal year end is December 31^st. All material intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated. The preparation of financial statements and related disclosures in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ materially from management’s estimates.

Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations

Net sales in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations include revenue earned when products are shipped and title and risk of loss have passed to the customer. Revenue is recorded net of returns, discounts and incentives offered to customers. Cost of sales includes cost to manufacture and/or purchase products, warehouse, shipping and delivery costs and other costs.

Foreign Currency Translation

Assets and liabilities of non-U.S. subsidiaries that operate in a local currency environment, where that local currency is the functional currency, are translated to U.S. dollars at exchange rates in effect at the balance sheet date, with the resulting translation adjustments directly recorded to a separate component of accumulated other comprehensive loss. Income and expense accounts are translated at average exchange rates during the year. The effect of exchange rate changes on transactions denominated in currencies other than the functional currency is recorded in other income.

Income Taxes

Income taxes are accounted for under the asset and liability method. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are recognized for estimated future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases and tax attribute carry-forwards. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification™ (FASB ASC) Topic 740, “Income Taxes,” requires that a valuation allowance be recorded when it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred income tax assets will not be realized. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are determined separately for each tax jurisdiction in which we conduct our operations or otherwise incur taxable income or losses. In the United States, China, the Netherlands and Portugal we have recorded valuation allowances against our deferred income tax assets.

Stock-Based Compensation Expense

We account for stock-based compensation expense in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 718, “Compensation — Stock Compensation,” and FASB ASC Topic 505-50, “Equity — Equity-Based Payments to Non-Employees”. Stock-based compensation cost is measured based on the fair value of the equity instruments issued. FASB ASC Topics 718 and 505-50 apply to all of our outstanding unvested stock-based payment awards. Stock-based compensation expense charged to the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2011 was $1.1 million and $1.9 million, respectively. Stock-based compensation expense charged to the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2010 was $1.4 million and $1.8 million, respectively.

New Accounting Standards

In December 2010, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2010-28, “Intangibles — Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): When to Perform Step 2 of the Goodwill Impairment Test for Reporting Units with Zero or Negative Carrying Amounts (a consensus of the FASB Emerging Issues Task Force)” (“ASU 2010-28”). ASU 2010-28 addresses the decision process involved in testing for impairment of goodwill when the carrying value of a reporting unit is zero or less. The provisions of this update are effective for periods beginning after December 15, 2010. We do not expect the provisions of this update to have any impact on our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements or on our process of testing for potential impairment of goodwill.

In December 2010, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2010-29, “Business Combinations (Topic 805): Disclosure of Supplementary Pro Forma Information for Business Combinations (a consensus of the FASB Emerging Issues Task Force)” (“ASU 2010-29”). ASU 2010-29 clarifies the extent to which pro forma historical information must be prepared and presented in comparative financial statements for periods following a merger or acquisition. The amendments in this update specify that if a public entity presents comparative financial statements, the entity should disclose revenue and earnings of the combined entity as though the business combination(s) that occurred during the current year had occurred as of the beginning of the comparable prior annual reporting period only. ASU 2010-29 also expands the supplemental pro forma disclosures under Topic 805 to include a description of the nature and amount of material, nonrecurring pro forma adjustments directly attributable to the business combination included in the reported pro forma revenue and earnings. For Libbey, the required disclosures are effective for combinations with acquisition dates during or after 2011. The impact on our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements will depend on the nature and timing of any potential future business combinations.

In May 2011, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2011-04, “Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Amendments to Achieve Common Fair Value Measurement and Disclosure Requirements in U.S. GAAP and IFRSs” (“ASU 2011-04”). ASU 2011-04 explains how to measure fair value and improves the comparability of fair value measurements presented and disclosed in financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP and IFRS. ASU 2011-04 does not require additional fair value measurements, and it is not intended to establish valuation standards or affect valuation practices outside of financial reporting. The provisions of this update are effective for periods beginning after December 15, 2011. We do not expect the provisions of this update to have any impact on our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

In June 2011, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2011-05, “Comprehensive Income (Topic 220): Presentation of Comprehensive Income” (“ASU 2011-05”). ASU 2011-05 requires presentation of net income, other comprehensive income items and total comprehensive income to be in one continuous statement or two separate but consecutive statements. Other comprehensive income presentation in the statement of stockholders’ equity will no longer be permitted. This update is effective for periods beginning after December 15, 2011. Libbey will incorporate the required presentation changes in the Condensed Consolidated Financial

Statements in the first quarter 2012.

Reclassifications

Certain amounts in the prior year’s financial statements may have been reclassified to conform to the presentation used in the current period financial statements.

4. Borrowings

On March 25, 2011, Libbey Glass redeemed an aggregate principal amount of $40.0 million of its outstanding 10.0 percent Senior Secured Notes due 2015, on a pro rata basis in accordance with the terms of the New Notes Indenture. Pursuant to the terms of the New Notes Indenture, the redemption price for the Senior Secured Notes was 103.0 percent of the principal amount of the redeemed Senior Secured Notes, plus accrued and unpaid interest. At completion of the redemption, the aggregate principal amount of the Senior Secured Notes outstanding was $360.0 million. In conjunction with this redemption, we recorded $2.8 million of expense, representing $1.2 million of an early call premium and $1.6 million for the write off of a pro rata amount of financing fees and discounts.

On February 8, 2010, we completed the refinancing of substantially all of the existing indebtedness of our wholly-owned subsidiaries Libbey Glass and Libbey Europe B.V. The refinancing included:

•

the entry into an amended and restated credit agreement with respect to our ABL Facility;

•

the issuance of $400.0 million in aggregate principal amount of 10.0 percent Senior Secured Notes of Libbey Glass due 2015;

•

the repurchase and cancellation of all of Libbey Glass’s then outstanding $306.0 million in aggregate principal amount of floating rate notes; and

•

the redemption of all of Libbey Glass’s then outstanding $80.4 million in aggregate principal amount 16.0 percent PIK notes (New PIK Notes).

We used the proceeds of the offering of the Senior Secured Notes, together with cash on hand, to fund the repurchase of the floating rate notes, the redemption of the New PIK notes and to pay certain related fees and expenses. Upon completion of the refinancing, we recorded a gain of $71.7 million related to the redemption of the New PIK notes. $70.2 million of this gain was recorded in the three months ended March 31, 2010. This gain was partially offset by a $13.4 million write-off of bank fees, discounts and a call premium on the floating rate notes, resulting in a net gain of $58.3 million. $56.8 million of this net gain was recorded in the three months ended March 31, 2010, as shown on the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations.

Amended and Restated ABL Credit Agreement

Pursuant to the refinancing, Libbey Glass and Libbey Europe entered into an Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, dated as of February 8, 2010 and amended on April 29, 2011 (ABL Facility), with a group of five financial institutions. The ABL Facility provides for borrowings of up to $100.0 million (reduced from $110.0 million per the amendment on April 29, 2011), subject to certain borrowing base limitations, reserves and outstanding letters of credit.

All borrowings under the ABL Facility are secured by:

•

a first-priority security interest in substantially all of the existing and future real and personal property of Libbey Glass and its domestic subsidiaries (the “Credit Agreement Priority Collateral”);

•

a first-priority security interest in:

	•		100 percent of the stock of Libbey Glass and 100 percent of the stock of substantially all of Libbey Glass’ present and future direct and indirect domestic subsidiaries;
	•		100 percent of the non-voting stock of substantially all of Libbey Glass’ first-tier present and future foreign subsidiaries; and
	•		65 percent of the voting stock of substantially all of Libbey Glass’ first-tier present and future foreign subsidiaries

•

a first priority security interest in substantially all proceeds and products of the property and assets described above; and

•

a second-priority security interest in substantially all of the owned real property, equipment and fixtures in the United States of Libbey Glass and its domestic subsidiaries, subject to certain exceptions and permitted liens (the “New Notes Priority Collateral”).

Additionally, borrowings by Libbey Europe under the ABL Facility are secured by:

•

a first-priority lien on substantially all of the existing and future real and personal property of Libbey Europe and its Dutch subsidiaries; and

•

a first-priority security interest in:

	•		100 percent of the stock of Libbey Europe and 100 percent of the stock of substantially all of the Dutch subsidiaries; and
	•		100 percent (or a lesser percentage in certain circumstances) of the outstanding stock issued by the first tier foreign subsidiaries of Libbey Europe and its Dutch subsidiaries.

Swingline borrowings are limited to $15.0 million, with swing line borrowings for Libbey Europe being limited to the US equivalent of $7.5 million. Loans comprising each CBFR (CB Floating Rate) Borrowing, including each Swingline Loan, bear interest at the CB Floating Rate plus the Applicable Rate, and euro-denominated swing line borrowings (Eurocurrency Loans) bear interest calculated at the Netherlands swing line rate, as defined in the ABL Facility. The Applicable Rates for CBFR Loans and Eurocurrency Loans vary depending on our aggregate remaining availability. The Applicable Rates for CBFR Loans and Eurocurrency Loans were 0.75 percent and 1.75 percent, respectively, at June 30, 2011. Libbey pays a quarterly Commitment Fee, as defined by the ABL Facility, on the total credit provided under the ABL Facility. The Commitment Fee was 0.375 percent at June 30, 2011. No compensating balances are required by the Agreement. The Agreement does not require compliance with a fixed charge coverage ratio covenant, unless aggregate unused availability falls below $10.0 million. If our aggregate unused ABL availability were to fall below $10.0 million, the fixed charge coverage ratio requirement would be 1:10 to 1:00. Libbey Glass and Libbey Europe have the option to increase the ABL Facility by $10.0 million. Libbey Glass had no borrowings under the facility at June 30, 2011, while Libbey Europe had outstanding borrowings of $2.2 million at an interest rate of 3.51 percent. There were no Libbey Glass or Libbey Europe borrowings under the facility at December 31, 2010. Interest is payable on the last day of the interest period, which can range from one month to six months depending on the maturity of each individual borrowing on the facility.

The borrowing base under the ABL Facility is determined by a monthly analysis of the eligible accounts receivable and inventory. The borrowing base is the sum of (a) 85 percent of eligible accounts receivable and (b) the lesser of (i) 85 percent of the net orderly liquidation value (NOLV) of eligible inventory, (ii) 65 percent of eligible inventory, or (iii) $75.0 million.

The available total borrowing base is offset by ERISA, rent and tax reserves totaling $3.7 million and mark-to-market reserves for natural gas contracts of $1.2 million. The ABL Facility also provides for the issuance of $30.0 million of letters of credit, which are applied against the $100.0 million limit. At June 30, 2011, we had $10.5 million in letters of credit outstanding under the ABL Facility. Remaining unused availability on the new ABL Facility was $69.3 million at June 30, 2011 compared to $65.2 million under the ABL Facility at December 31, 2010.

Senior Secured Notes

On February 8, 2010, Libbey Glass closed its offering of the $400.0 million Senior Secured Notes. The net proceeds of the offering of Senior Secured Notes were approximately $379.8 million, after the 1.918 percent original issue discount of $7.7 million, $10.0 million of commissions payable to the initial purchasers and $2.5 million of fees related to the offering. These fees will be amortized to interest expense over the life of the notes.

The Senior Secured Notes were issued pursuant to an Indenture, dated February 8, 2010 (the “New Notes Indenture”), between Libbey Glass, the Company, the domestic subsidiaries of Libbey Glass listed as guarantors therein (the “Subsidiary Guarantors” and together with the Company, the “Guarantors”), and The Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company, N.A., as trustee (the “New Notes Trustee”), and collateral agent. Under the terms of the New Notes Indenture, the Senior Secured Notes bear interest at a rate of

10.0 percent per year and will mature on February 15, 2015. The New Notes Indenture contains covenants that restrict the ability of Libbey Glass and the Guarantors to, among other things:

	•		incur or guarantee additional indebtedness;
	•		pay dividends, make certain investments or other restricted payments;
	•		create liens;
	•		enter into affiliate transactions;
	•		merge or consolidate, or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all the assets of Libbey Glass and the Guarantors; and
	•		transfer or sell assets.

The New Notes Indenture provides for customary events of default. In the case of an event of default arising from bankruptcy or insolvency as defined in the New Notes Indenture, all outstanding Senior Secured Notes will become due and payable immediately without further action or notice. If any other event of default under the Indenture occurs or is continuing, the New Notes Trustee or holders of at least 25 percent in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Senior Secured Notes may declare all the Senior Secured Notes to be due and payable immediately.

The Senior Secured Notes and the related guarantees under the New Notes Indenture are secured by (i) first priority liens on the New Notes Priority Collateral and (ii) second priority liens on the Credit Agreement Priority Collateral.

In connection with the sale of the Senior Secured Notes, Libbey Glass and the Guarantors entered into a registration rights agreement, dated February 8, 2010 (the “Registration Rights Agreement”), under which they agreed to make an offer to exchange the Senior Secured Notes and the related guarantees for registered, publicly tradable notes and guarantees that have substantially identical terms to the Senior Secured Notes and the related guarantees, and in certain limited circumstances, to file a shelf registration statement that would allow certain holders of Senior Secured Notes to resell their respective Senior Secured Notes to the public. On January 25, 2011, we exchanged $400.0 million aggregate principal amount of 10.0 percent Senior Secured Notes due 2015 for an equal principal amount of a new issue of 10.0 percent Senior Secured Notes due 2015, which have been registered under the Securities act of 1933, as amended.

Prior to August 15, 2012, we may redeem in the aggregate up to 35 percent of the original principal amount of Senior Secured Notes with the net cash proceeds of one or more equity offerings at a redemption price of 110 percent of the principal amount, provided that at least 65 percent of the original principal amount of the Senior Secured Notes must remain outstanding after each redemption and that each redemption occurs within 90 days of the closing of the equity offering. In addition, prior to August 15, 2012, but not more than once in any twelve-month period, we may redeem up to 10 percent of the Senior Secured Notes at a redemption price of 103 percent plus accrued and unpaid interest. The Senior Secured Notes are redeemable at our option, in whole or in part, at any time on or after August 15, 2012 at set redemption prices together with accrued and unpaid interest.

On March 25, 2011, Libbey Glass redeemed an aggregate principal amount of $40.0 million of its outstanding 10.0 percent Senior Secured Notes due 2015, in accordance with the terms of the New Notes Indenture. Pursuant to the terms of the New Notes Indenture, the redemption price for the Senior Secured Notes was 103.0 percent of the principal amount of the redeemed Senior Secured Notes, plus accrued and unpaid interest. At completion of the redemption, the aggregate principal amount of the Senior Secured Notes outstanding was $360.0 million. In conjunction with this redemption, we recorded $2.8 million of expense, representing $1.2 million of an early call premium and $1.6 million for the write off of a pro rata amount of financing fees and discounts.

We have an Interest Rate Agreement (Rate Agreement) in place with respect to $90.0 million of debt as a means to manage our fixed to variable interest rate ratio. The Rate Agreement effectively converts this portion of our long-term borrowings from fixed rate debt to variable rate debt. Prior to August 15, 2012, but not more than once in any twelve-month period, the counterparty may call up to 10 percent of the Rate Agreement at a call price of 103 percent. The Rate Agreement is callable at the counterparty’s option, in whole or in part, at anytime on or after August 15, 2012 at set call premiums. The variable interest rate for our borrowings related to the Rate Agreement at June 30, 2011, excluding applicable fees, is 7.55 percent. This Rate Agreement expires on February 15, 2015. Total remaining Senior Secured Notes not covered by the Rate Agreement have a fixed interest rate of 10.0 percent per year through February 15, 2015. If the counterparty to this Rate Agreement were to fail to perform, this Rate Agreement would no longer afford us a variable rate. However, we do not anticipate non-performance by the counterparty. The interest rate swap counterparty was rated AA-, as of June 30, 2011, by Standard and Poor’s.

The fair market value for the Rate Agreement at June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010 was a $3.3 million asset and a $2.5 million asset, respectively. An adjustment of $3.6 million and $3.3 million was recorded to increase the carrying value of the related long-term

debt as of June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, respectively. The net impact of $0.1 million expense and $0.5 million income, and $0.6 million income and $0.4 million income, is recorded in other income on the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2011 and June 30, 2010, respectively. See note 9 for further discussion. The fair value of the Rate Agreement is based on the market standard methodology of netting the discounted expected future fixed cash receipts and the discounted future variable cash payments. The variable cash payments are based on an expectation of future interest rates derived from observed market interest rate forward curves. We expect this agreement to expire as originally contracted.

Promissory Note

In September 2001, we issued a $2.7 million promissory note at an interest rate of 6.0 percent in connection with the purchase of our Laredo, Texas warehouse facility. At June 30, 2011, we had $1.2 million outstanding on the promissory note. Interest with respect to the promissory note is paid monthly.

Notes Payable

We have an overdraft line of credit for a maximum of €1.0 million. At June 30, 2011, there were no borrowings under the facility, which has an interest rate of 5.80 percent. Interest with respect to the note is paid monthly.

RMB Loan Contract

On January 23, 2006, Libbey Glassware (China) Co., Ltd. (Libbey China), an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of Libbey Inc., entered into an RMB Loan Contract (RMB Loan Contract) with China Construction Bank Corporation Langfang Economic Development Area Sub-Branch (CCB). Pursuant to the RMB Loan Contract, CCB agreed to lend to Libbey China RMB 250.0 million, or the equivalent of approximately $38.7 million, for the construction of our production facility in China and the purchase of related equipment, materials and services. The loan has a term of eight years and bears interest at a variable rate as announced by the People’s Bank of China. As of the date of the initial advance under the Loan Contract, the annual interest rate was 5.51 percent, and as of June 30, 2011, the annual interest rate was 5.67 percent. As of June 30, 2011, the outstanding balance was RMB 250.0 million (approximately $38.7 million). Interest is payable quarterly. Payments of principal in the amount of RMB 30.0 million (approximately $4.6 million) and RMB 40.0 million (approximately $6.2 million) must be made on July 20, 2012, and December 20, 2012, respectively, and three payments of principal in the amount of RMB 60.0 million (approximately $9.3 million) each must be made on July 20, 2013, December 20, 2013, and January 20, 2014, respectively. The obligations of Libbey China are secured by a guarantee executed by Libbey Inc. for the benefit of CCB and a mortgage lien on the Libbey China facility.

BES Euro Line

In January 2007, Crisal entered into a seven year, €11.0 million line of credit (approximately $15.8 million) with Banco Espírito Santo, S.A. (BES). The $11.9 million outstanding at June 30, 2011 was the U.S. dollar equivalent of the €8.3 million outstanding under the line at an interest rate of 3.77 percent. Payment of principal in the amount of €2.2 million (approximately $3.2 million) is due in December 2011, payment of €2.8 million (approximately $4.0 million) is due in December 2012 and payment of €3.3 million (approximately $4.7 million) is due in December 2013. Interest with respect to the line is paid every six months.

Fair Value of Borrowings

The fair value of our debt has been calculated based on quoted market prices for the same or similar issues. Our $360.0 million Senior Secured Notes due February 15, 2015 had an estimated fair value of $388.8 million at June 30, 2011. The fair value of the remainder of our debt approximates carrying value at June 30, 2011 due to variable rates.

Capital Resources and Liquidity

Historically, cash flows generated from operations and our borrowing capacity under our ABL Facility have enabled us to meet our cash requirements, including capital expenditures and working capital requirements. As of June 30, 2011 we had $2.2 million outstanding under our ABL Facility, and we had $10.5 million of letters of credit issued under that facility. As a result, we had $69.3 million of unused availability remaining under the ABL Facility at June 30, 2011. In addition, we had $44.3 million of cash on hand at June 30, 2011.

Based on our operating plans and current forecast expectations, we anticipate that our level of cash on hand, cash flows from operations and our borrowing capacity under our ABL Facility will provide sufficient cash availability to meet our ongoing liquidity needs.

5. Special Charges

Facility Closures

In December 2008, we announced that our Syracuse China manufacturing facility and our Mira Loma, California distribution center would be shut down in early to mid-2009 in order to reduce costs. The Syracuse China facility was closed on April 9, 2009 and the Mira Loma distribution center was closed on May 31, 2009. See Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010 for further discussion.

We incurred no additional charges for the three months ended June 30, 2011. We incurred charges of approximately $0.1 million in the six months ended June 30, 2011 related to other costs net of building site clean-up adjustments in connection with the sale of the property in Syracuse, New York in March 2011. This amount was included in special charges on the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations in the Other Operations segment as detailed in the table below.

We incurred additional charges of approximately $0.2 million and $0.5 million in the three months and six months ended June 30, 2010 related to these planned closures. Special charges of $0.2 million and $0.4 million were primarily related to employee termination and building site clean up costs in the three months and six months ended June 30, 2010, respectively. These amounts were included in special charges on the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations in the Glass Operations and Other Operations segment as detailed in the table below.

Other income on the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations included a charge of $0.1 million for the first six months of 2010 for the change in fair value of ineffective natural gas hedges related to our Syracuse China operation. This amount was included in the Other Operations segment.

The following table summarizes the facility closure charges in the second quarter of 2011 and 2010:

Fixed Asset and Inventory Write-down

In August 2010, we wrote down decorating assets in our Shreveport, Louisiana facility as a result of our decision to outsource our U.S. decorating business. See Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010 for further discussion.

During the three months and six months ended June 30, 2011, we recorded a $0.1 million income adjustment to special charges in the Glass Operations segment.

The following reflects the balance sheet activity related to the fixed asset and inventory write-down charge as of June 30, 2011:

		Reserve																Reserve
		Balances at				Total				Cash				Inventory &				Balances at

The ending balance of $0.2 million at June 30, 2011 was included in accrued special charges on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets; we expect this to result in cash payments during the remainder of 2011.

During the second quarter of 2010, we wrote down certain after-processing equipment within our Glass Operations segment. The non-cash charge of $2.7 million was included in cost of sales on the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations. During the second quarter of 2011, we received a $1.0 million credit from the supplier of this equipment. This was recorded in selling, general and administrative expense and other income on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.

6. Income Taxes

The Company’s effective tax rate differs from the United States statutory tax rate primarily due to valuation allowances, changes in the mix of earnings in countries with differing statutory tax rates, changes in accruals related to uncertain tax positions and tax planning structures. At June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010 we had $1.3 million and $1.1 million, respectively, of gross unrecognized tax benefits, exclusive of interest and penalties.

FASB ASC 740-20, “Income Taxes — Intraperiod Tax Allocation”, requires that the provision for income taxes be allocated between continuing operations and other categories of earnings (such as discontinued operations or other comprehensive income) for each tax jurisdiction. In periods in which there is a year-to-date pre-tax loss from continuing operations and pre-tax income in other categories of earnings, the tax provision is first allocated to the other categories of earnings. A related tax benefit is then recorded in continuing operations. There is no tax benefit included in our income tax provision for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2011. There was a $0.4 million tax benefit recorded for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2010. Depending upon the level of our future earnings and losses and their impact on other comprehensive income, it is possible that these tax adjustments may change or even reverse in future periods.

Further, our current and future provision for income taxes for 2011 is significantly impacted by valuation allowances. In the United States, China, the Netherlands and Portugal we have recorded valuation allowances against our deferred income tax assets. For the three months and six months ended June 30, 2011, we did not release any valuation allowance. During the first quarter of 2010, we reduced our valuation allowance by $1.1 million. The release of the valuation allowance in 2010 was related to net operating losses in Mexico that were utilized. In assessing the need for recording a valuation allowance we weigh all available positive and negative evidence. Examples of the evidence we consider are cumulative losses in recent years, losses expected in early future years, a history of potential tax benefits expiring unused, and whether there was an unusual, infrequent, or extraordinary item to be considered. We intend to maintain these allowances until it is more likely than not that the deferred income tax assets will be realized.

Total income tax payments for the three months ended June 30, 2011, were $4.6 million, including $3.2 million in cash and $1.4 million in credits or offsets. Total income tax payments for the three months ended June 30, 2010, were refunds of $0.1 million, including a refund of $0.2 million in cash and $0.1 million in credits or offsets. Total income tax payments for the six months ended June 30, 2011, were $11.2 million, including $7.7 million in cash and $3.5 million in credits or offsets. Total income tax payments for the six months ended June 30, 2010, were $5.5 million, including $4.7 million in cash and $0.8 million in credits or offsets.

7. Pension and Non-pension Postretirement Benefits

We have pension plans covering the majority of our employees. Benefits generally are based on compensation for salaried employees and job grade and length of service for hourly employees. Our policy is to fund pension plans such that sufficient assets will be available to meet future benefit requirements. In addition, we have an unfunded supplemental employee retirement plan (SERP) that covers salaried U.S.-based employees of Libbey hired before January 1, 2006. The U.S. pension plans cover the salaried U.S.-based employees of Libbey hired before January 1, 2006 and most hourly U.S.-based employees (excluding employees hired at Shreveport after 2008 and employees hired at Toledo after September 30, 2010). The non-U.S. pension plans cover the employees of our wholly owned subsidiaries Royal Leerdam and Crisa. The Crisa plan is not funded.

The components of our net pension expense, including the SERP, are as follows:

Three months ended June 30,		U.S. Plans								Non-U.S. Plans								Total
(dollars in thousands)		2011				2010				2011				2010				2011				2010

We provide certain retiree health care and life insurance benefits covering our U.S and Canadian salaried and non-union hourly employees hired before January 1, 2004 and a majority of our union hourly employees (excluding employees hired at Shreveport after 2008 and employees hired at Toledo after September 30, 2010). Employees are generally eligible for benefits upon retirement and completion of a specified number of years of creditable service. Benefits for most hourly retirees are determined by collective bargaining. The U.S. non-pension postretirement plans cover the hourly and salaried U.S.-based employees of Libbey (excluding those mentioned above). The non-U.S. non-pension postretirement plans cover the retirees and active employees of Libbey who are located in Canada. The postretirement benefit plans are not funded.

The provision for our non-pension postretirement benefit expense consists of the following:

In 2011, we expect to utilize approximately $31.5 million in cash to fund our pension plans and pay for non-pension postretirement benefits. Of that amount, $6.7 million and $10.2 million of cash were utilized in the three months and six months ended June 30, 2011, respectively.

In March 2010, the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act and the Health Care Education and Affordability Reconciliation Act (the Acts) were signed into law. The Acts contain provisions which could impact our accounting for retiree medical benefits in future periods. Based on the analysis to date, the impact of provisions in the Acts which are reasonably determinable is not expected to have a material impact on our postretirement benefit plans. We will continue to assess the provisions of the Acts and may consider plan amendments and design changes in future periods to better align these plans with the provisions of the Acts.

In October 2009, we entered into a transaction with Merrill Lynch PCG, Inc. (the “Investor”) to exchange the existing 16.0 percent Old PIK Notes due in December 2011, for a combination of debt and equity securities (Exchange Transaction). As part of the Exchange Transaction, we issued warrants conveying the right to purchase, for $0.01 per share, 3,466,856 shares of Libbey Inc. common stock. These warrants were exercised and shares were issued in August 2010.

When applicable, diluted shares outstanding include the dilutive impact of warrants and restricted stock units. Diluted shares also include the impact of in-the-money employee stock options, which are calculated, based on the average share price for each fiscal period using the treasury stock method. Under the treasury stock method, the tax-effected proceeds that hypothetically would be received from the exercise of all in-the-money options are assumed to be used to repurchase shares.

We utilize derivative financial instruments to hedge certain interest rate risks associated with our long-term debt, commodity price risks associated with forecasted future natural gas requirements and foreign exchange rate risks associated with transactions denominated in a currency other than the U.S. dollar. Most of these derivatives, except for certain natural gas contracts originally designated to hedge expected purchases at Syracuse China and the foreign currency contracts, qualify for hedge accounting since the hedges are highly effective, and we have designated and documented contemporaneously the hedging relationships involving these derivative instruments. While we intend to continue to meet the conditions for hedge accounting, if hedges do not qualify as highly effective or if we do not believe that forecasted transactions would occur, the changes in the fair value of the derivatives used as hedges would be reflected in our earnings. All of these contracts were accounted for under FASB ASC 815 “Derivatives and Hedging.”

Interest Rate Swaps as Fair Value Hedges

In the first quarter of 2010, we entered into an interest rate swap agreement with a notional amount of $100.0 million that is to mature in 2015. The swap was executed in order to convert a portion of the Senior Secured Note fixed rate debt into floating rate debt and maintain a capital structure containing appropriate amounts of fixed and floating rate debt. In August 2010, $10.0 million of the swap was called for a premium of $0.3 million. As of June 30, 2011 the notional amount of the interest rate swap agreement is $90.0 million.

Our fixed-to-floating interest rate swap is designated and qualifies as a fair value hedge. The change in the fair value of the derivative instrument related to the future cash flows (gain or loss on the derivative), as well as the offsetting change in the fair value of the hedged long-term debt attributable to the hedged risk are recognized in current earnings. We include the gain or loss on the hedged long-term debt in other income on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations along with the offsetting loss or gain on the related interest rate swap.

Commodity Future Contracts Designated as Cash Flow Hedges

We use commodity futures contracts related to forecasted future North American natural gas requirements. The objective of these futures contracts and other derivatives is to limit the fluctuations in prices paid due to price movements in the underlying commodity. We consider our forecasted natural gas requirements in determining the quantity of natural gas to hedge. We combine the forecasts with historical observations to establish the percentage of forecast eligible to be hedged, typically ranging from 40 percent to 70 percent of our anticipated requirements, up to eighteen months in the future. The fair values of these instruments are determined from market quotes. Certain of our natural gas futures contracts are now classified as ineffective, as the forecasted transactions are not probable of occurring due to the closure of our Syracuse China facility in April 2009. Under FASB ASC 815, “Derivatives and Hedging”, when the forecasted transactions of a hedging relationship become not probable of occurring, the gains or losses that have been classified in accumulated other comprehensive loss in prior periods for those contracts affected should be reclassified into earnings. We recognized immaterial amounts for both three month periods and an immaterial amount and $0.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively, in other income on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations relating to these contracts. As of June 30, 2011, we had commodity contracts for 2,370,000 million British Thermal Units (BTUs) of natural gas. At December 31, 2010, we had commodity contracts for 3,090,000 million BTUs of natural gas.

Most of our natural gas derivatives qualify and are designated as cash flow hedges (except certain contracts originally designated to expected purchases at Syracuse China) at June 30, 2011. Hedge accounting is applied only when the derivative is deemed to be highly effective at offsetting changes in fair values or anticipated cash flows of the hedged item or transaction. For hedged forecasted transactions, hedge accounting is discontinued if the forecasted transaction is no longer probable to occur, and any previously deferred gains or losses would be recorded to earnings immediately. Changes in the effective portion of the fair value of these hedges are recorded in other comprehensive income (loss). The ineffective portion of the change in the fair value of a derivative designated as a cash flow hedge is recognized in current earnings. As the natural gas contracts mature, the accumulated gains (losses) for the respective contracts are reclassified from accumulated other comprehensive income to current expense in cost of sales in our Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations. We paid additional cash of $1.2 million and $2.4 million in the three months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively, and $2.0 million and $3.1 million in the six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively, due to the difference between the fixed unit rate of our natural gas contracts and the variable unit rate of our natural gas cost from suppliers. Based on our current valuation, we estimate that accumulated losses currently carried in accumulated other comprehensive loss that will be reclassified into earnings over the next twelve months will result in $1.7 million of expense in our Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations.

Currency Contracts

Our foreign currency exposure arises from transactions denominated in a currency other than the U.S. dollar, primarily associated with our Canadian dollar denominated accounts receivable. The fair values of these instruments are determined from market quotes. The values of these derivatives will change over time as cash receipts and payments are made and as market conditions change. During 2010, we entered into a series of foreign currency contracts to sell Canadian dollars. As of June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010 we had contracts for $15.1 million Canadian dollars and $18.7 million Canadian dollars, respectively.

Gains and losses for derivatives which were not designated as hedging instruments are recorded in current earnings as follows:

				Three months ended June 30,								Six months ended June 30,
(dollars in thousands)				2011				2010				2011				2010
Derivative:		Location:
Currency contracts		Other income		$	128			$	639			$	(326	)		$	639
Total				$	128			$	639			$	(326	)		$	639

We do not believe we are exposed to more than a nominal amount of credit risk in our interest rate and natural gas hedges, as the counterparties are established financial institutions. The counterparty is rated AA- for the Interest Rate Agreement and BBB+ or better for the counterparties to the other derivative agreements as of June 30, 2011, by Standard and Poor’s.
