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

Note 1 – Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared by the Company pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 are not indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2007. These statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and the notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2006.

On April 27, 2007, the Company signed an agreement to sell its wholly owned subsidiary Defiance Testing and Engineering Services, Inc. The transaction was completed on July 17, 2007. Accordingly, this business has been classified as discontinued operations. See Note Number 11.

Note 2 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

In June 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued FASB Interpretation No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes, an Interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109 (“FIN 48”). FIN 48 clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in a company’s financial statements and prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of tax positions taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. The interpretation also provides guidance on derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure and transition. The Company adopted FIN 48 on January 1, 2007. The adoption, which was accounted for as a cumulative effect adjustment, resulted in an increase to the January 1, 2007 balance of retained earnings (deficit) of $2,801. The total amount of unrecognized tax benefits as of January 1, 2007 was $13,546, of which $11,484 would, if recognized, affect the effective tax rate.

The Company and its affiliates are subject to tax in various jurisdictions, including the United States, various states, Canada and several other foreign jurisdictions. The Company, joined by its domestic subsidiaries, files a consolidated income tax return for Federal income tax purposes. With few exceptions, the Company is no longer subject to income tax examinations by tax authorities for tax years before 2002. The Company recognizes interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions as a component of the provision for income taxes. As of January 1, 2007, the Company had $1,683 accrued for interest and penalties. There were no significant changes to any of these amounts during the nine months ended September 30, 2007. During the next twelve months, it is reasonably possible that the total amount of unrecognized tax benefits will significantly change by up to approximately $8,000 due to the expiration of statute of limitations or the settlement of examinations.

In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, Fair Value Measurements, (“SFAS 157”), to define fair value, establish a framework for measuring fair value in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and expand disclosures about fair value measurements. SFAS 157 requires quantitative disclosures using a tabular format in all periods (interim and annual) and qualitative disclosures about the valuation techniques used to measure fair value in all annual periods. The provisions of this Statement shall be effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007 and interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company will be required to adopt the provisions of this statement as of January 1, 2008. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting SFAS 157.

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

In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159 The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities — including an Amendment of SFAS No. 115, (“SFAS No. 159”), which permits an entity to measure many financial assets and financial liabilities at fair value that are not currently required to be measured at fair value. Entities that elect the fair value option will report unrealized gains and losses in earnings at each subsequent reporting date. The fair value option may be elected on an instrument-by instrument basis, with few exceptions. SFAS No. 159 amends previous guidance to extend the use of the fair value option to available-for-sale and held-to-maturity securities. The Statement also establishes presentation and disclosure requirements to help financial statement users understand the effect of the election. SFAS No. 159 is effective as of the beginning of the first fiscal year beginning after November 15, 2007. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting SFAS No. 159.

Included in selling, general and administrative expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 is a gain of $736 for a settlement related to prior insurance costs.

Gains on disposition of long-term assets in prior periods have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation.

Note 3 – Comprehensive Income

Total comprehensive income is comprised of net income, pension and postretirement liability adjustments, foreign currency translation adjustments and the change in unrealized gains and losses on derivative financial instruments. Total comprehensive income for the three months ended September 30, 2007 and 2006 was $7,221 and $1,246, respectively. Total comprehensive income for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 and 2006 was $16,502 and $11,257, respectively.

Note 4 – Earnings Per Share

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

The shares outstanding used for basic and diluted earnings per common share are reconciled as follows:

	Three Months Ended		Nine Months Ended
	September 30,		September 30,
	2007	2006	2007	2006
Basic earnings per common share:

For the three months ended September 30, 2007 and 2006, potentially dilutive securities totaling 228,652 and 112,096, respectively, were not included in the computation of diluted earnings per common share due to their antidilutive effect. For the nine months ended September 30, 2007 and 2006, potentially diluted securities totaling 139,237 and 1,068,100, respectively, were not included in the computation of diluted earnings per common share due to their antidilutive effect.

As of September 30, 2007, the weighted-average interest rates in effect for the first lien term loan was 7.53 percent.

On March 19, 2007, the Company completed an amendment to its credit facilities which enabled it to increase borrowings under the first lien term loan by $50,000 and to use these borrowings and the net proceeds from the Noma wire and cable harness assembly business sale to redeem the entire second lien term loan.

On April 26, 2006, the Company entered into amendments of its first and second lien term loan agreements which reduced the interest rate margins by 50 and 150 basis points, respectively. In addition, the debt holders agreed to allow a redemption of the second lien term loan. On May 1, 2006, the Company repaid $22,000 of its second lien term loan. In connection with the amendments, the Company recorded charges in interest expense of $3,572 for certain costs related to the amendment and to write-off certain deferred funding costs.

Note 7 – Stock Incentive Plans

During the first nine months of 2007, the Company granted the following awards:

closure of one of its manufacturing facilities. These actions resulted in net pension curtailment gains of $50 and $745 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2007, respectively.

During the second quarter of 2006, the Company notified certain hourly employees covered by certain collective bargaining agreements that their pension plan benefit accruals would be frozen effective July 1, 2006. These actions resulted in pension curtailment gains of $635 recorded in the second quarter of 2006.

During the second quarter of 2007, the Company implemented plan amendments to one of its postretirement medical plans which cap the Company’s cost for providing these benefits. The effect of these changes was a reduction to the accumulated postretirement benefit obligation of $7,247 which will be amortized as a component of net periodic postretirement benefit cost over the average remaining service period until full eligibility of active plan participants.

During the third quarter of 2007, the Company completed the closure of one of its manufacturing facilities, resulting in a postretirement liability curtailment gain of $2,515.

Note 11 – Discontinued Operations

During April 2006, the Company completed the sale of its cable and wire manufacturing business in Stouffville, Canada. All requirements for classifying this business as “held for sale” were met during the first quarter of 2006. Accordingly, the Company recorded an impairment charge of $2,458 in order to reflect assets to be sold at net realizable value, which has been included in income (loss) from discontinued operations, related to property, plant and equipment and goodwill allocated to the business. This business was formerly reported as part of the manufacturing segment.

On December 22, 2006, the Company announced that it had signed a definitive agreement to sell its Noma wire and cable assembly business to Electrical Components International, Inc. for $75,000, plus a working capital adjustment of $1,033. The transaction was completed on February 16, 2007. Accordingly, in the fourth quarter of 2006, the Company recorded an impairment charge of $11,907 in order to reflect the net assets to be sold at net realizable value, which has been included in income (loss) from discontinued operations, related to property, plant and equipment, goodwill and other intangible assets. This business was formerly reported as part of the manufacturing segment. GenTek’s wire and cable manufacturing business has and will continue to supply the Noma wire and cable assembly business with wire used as a raw material. These sales are expected to continue through 2007, after which time any future sales will be subject to open market bidding. The principal factors used to conclude that the expected continuing cash flows are not direct cash flows were the length of time the transactions are expected to continue and the magnitude of the expected transactions versus the expected amount of revenue for the Noma wire and cable assembly business. Based on these and other factors, the expected continuing cash flows have not been and are not expected to be significant. Revenues between the wire and cable manufacturing business and the Noma wire and cable assembly business that were previously eliminated in consolidation were $0 and $10,326 for the three months ended September 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively, and $3,007 and $29,170 for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively.

Because the net proceeds of the Noma wire and cable assembly business sale were required to be used to repay certain outstanding indebtedness, interest expense of $0 and $1,395 for the three months ending September 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively, and $677 and $4,025 for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively, has been allocated to discontinued operations. This allocation was performed using the estimated net proceeds of the sale and the interest costs incurred in the periods on the debt that requires the repayment.

On April 27, 2007, the Company signed an agreement to sell its wholly owned subsidiary Defiance Testing and Engineering Services, Inc. to Ashok Leyland of Chennai, India for $17,000 in cash, minus a working capital adjustment of $300. During the first quarter of 2007, the Company recorded an impairment charge of $6,150 to reflect the revised estimated fair value of goodwill of the business based upon the purchase offers which has been included in income (loss) from discontinued operations. The transaction was completed on July 17, 2007. The business was formerly reported as part of the manufacturing segment.

At September 30, 2007, amounts remaining in assets held for sale represent land and buildings at idle facilities expected to be sold within the next 12 months.

The businesses included in discontinued operations had revenues of $402 and $76,737 and pretax income (loss) of $1,706 and $(2,655) for the three months ended September 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively, and revenues of $40,014 and $283,065 and a pretax loss of $(6,926) and $(4,521) for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively.

Note 12 – Acquisitions

On February 6, 2007, the Company acquired the assets of Chalum, Inc. for approximately $3,200. The acquisition included the manufacturing facility in Sacaton, Arizona. Chalum produces aluminum sulfate for the greater Phoenix, Arizona municipal water treatment market. As a result of the acquisition of Chalum, the Company recognized $2,901 of goodwill, all of which is expected to be deductible for tax purposes. The goodwill is the result of synergies and cost reductions expected to be realized as the facility is assimilated into the Company’s network of water treatment chemical production facilities.

On September 21, 2006, the Company acquired the assets of GAC MidAmerica, Inc. The acquisition included manufacturing facilities in Toledo, Ohio, Indianapolis, Indiana, and Saukville, Wisconsin. GAC produces aluminum sulfate and bleach, as well as distributing specialty water treatment chemicals, sulfuric acid and caustic soda. The purchase price of the transaction was $8,266.

On July 31, 2006, the Company acquired the assets of Precision Engine Products Corp., a wholly owned subsidiary of Stanadyne Corporation. Precision Engine Products is dedicated principally to the manufacturing of hydraulic lash adjusters and die cast aluminum rocker arm assemblies utilized in valve train systems for both OEM and after market applications to the global automotive and light truck markets. Precision Engine Products has manufacturing facilities in Tallahassee, Florida and Curitiba, Brazil. The purchase price of the transaction was $26,262 in cash, plus the potential of an earn out for Stanadyne of $10,000 twelve months later, based on certain performance metrics being achieved post closing. As part of the initial purchase price allocation, the Company recorded a liability for the excess of the value of assets purchased over the preliminary purchase price due to the potential for an earn-out payment. During the third quarter of 2007, it was determined that these performance metrics had not been achieved, and that no additional consideration was due. Accordingly, the liability representing the excess of the values assigned to the assets purchased over the preliminary purchase price was reversed, and the values assigned to property, plant and equipment were adjusted from $15,990 to $11,172 and the values assigned to intangible assets were adjusted from $4,100 to $3,822.

On July 27, 2006, the Company acquired the assets of Repauno Products, LLC. The acquisition included the manufacturing facility in Gibbstown, New Jersey. Repauno Products manufactures sodium nitrite which is used in a wide range of industries including metal finishing, heat transfer salts, rubber processing, meat curing, odor control and inks and dyes. The purchase price of the transaction was $6,057.

Operating results for the acquired entities have been reflected in the Company’s consolidated financial statements from date of acquisition. The following unaudited pro forma consolidated financial information has been prepared as if the acquisitions had taken place at the beginning of each fiscal year presented.

In September 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement No. 158, “Employers’ Accounting for Defined Benefit Pension and Other Postretirement Plans, an amendment of FASB Statements No. 87, 88, 106, and 132(R)” (“SFAS 158”). Under this standard, a company must recognize a net liability or asset to report the funded status of its defined benefit pension and other postretirement benefit plans on its balance sheet as well as recognize changes in that funded status in the year in which the changes occur, through charges or credits to comprehensive income. Subsequent to the issuance of the consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2006, management identified the following errors in their adoption of the recognition and disclosure provisions of SFAS 158 as of December 31, 2006.

The transition adjustment classified as the adjustment to initially apply SFAS 158 was incorrectly included as part of comprehensive income in the consolidated statement of changes in equity for the year ended December 31, 2006 rather than reflected as an adjustment to the ending balance of accumulated other comprehensive income as of December 31, 2006.

The adjustment to initially apply SFAS 158 incorrectly included a portion of the minimum pension liability adjustment, which is recognized as part of comprehensive income. This immaterial error resulted in an understatement of comprehensive income as the minimum pension liability adjustment was understated by $3,379 and the adjustment to initially apply SFAS 158 was overstated by the same amount in the consolidated statement of changes in equity for the year ended December 31, 2006.

The Company incorrectly included the portion of the transition adjustment related to previously unrecognized accumulated actuarial gains due to the impact of the federal subsidy provided under the Medicare Prescription Drug, Improvement and Modernization Act of 2003 in calculating the deferred tax impact of the transition adjustment to the accumulated projected benefit obligation for other postretirement benefits. However, no deferred taxes should have been recorded related to this portion of the transition adjustment as the federal subsidy is non-taxable. As a result of this immaterial error, the adjustment to initially apply SFAS 158 to accumulated other comprehensive income was understated by $2,546 and the net deferred tax balance included in other long term liabilities was overstated by the same amount at December 31, 2006. The Company will correct these errors in their next Form 10-K filing.

Management also determined the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows as reported for the nine months ended September 30, 2006, contained a classification error in the treatment of costs of property, plant and equipment included in accounts payable. In accordance with SFAS No. 95, Statement of Cash Flows, these costs should have been reported within cash flows from investing activities when paid. The Company reported capital expenditures in its condensed consolidated statements of cash flows on an accrual basis rather than on a cash basis, and as a result, reported capital expenditures in the period in which the Company acquired legal title to the related property, plant and equipment rather than when the Company actually paid for such property, plant and equipment. Further, the unpaid portion of the transaction should have been disclosed as a non-cash investing activity in the supplemental disclosure of cash flow information. In addition, the condensed consolidated statement of cash flows as reported for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 reported on a net basis issuance of long-term debt, deferred financing costs paid and amounts borrowed on the Company’s revolving credit facility as opposed to being reported separately.

The segment presentation for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2006 included in Note 8 has been restated to remove certain operating segments from the manufacturing segment which are now presented in corporate and other.

None of the aforementioned errors have an impact on the previously reported consolidated statements of operations for the year ended December 31, 2006 or the three and nine months ended September 30, 2006.

As a result of the items discussed above, the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2006, the condensed consolidated statement of changes in equity for the year ended December 31, 2006 and the condensed consolidated statement of cash flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 have been restated as follows:

Three Months Ended September 30, 2007 Compared with Three Months Ended September 30, 2006

Net revenues were $151 million for the three month period ended September 30, 2007 compared with $159 million for the comparable prior year period. The shortfall in revenue was primarily due to lower sales of $7 million in corporate and other and $6 million in the manufacturing segment partly offset by increased sales of $6 million in the performance chemicals segment. The shortfall in corporate and other is the result of lower sales into the industrial wire market. The shortfall in the manufacturing segment is due to lower sales into the automotive market. The increase in the performance chemicals segment is due primarily to increased sales into the water treatment market.

Gross profit was $23 million for the three month period ended September 30, 2007 as compared with $27 million for the comparable prior year period. This reflects higher gross profit in the performance chemicals segment of $1 million, offset by a decrease in the manufacturing segment of $5 million. The increase in the performance chemicals segment gross profit was driven by continued strong performance in the water treatment market. The shortfall in the manufacturing segment was due primarily to reduced sales of higher margin products in the automotive market base business.

Gains on disposition of long term assets of $10 million were the result of the sale of surplus real estate in Denver, CO, El Segundo, CA, and Atlanta, GA.

Selling, general and administrative expense was $13 million for the three month period ended September 30, 2007 which was flat to the comparable prior year period.

Restructuring and impairment charges were $2 million for the three month period ended September 30, 2007. There were no material charges for the comparable period in the prior year. The charges recorded in 2007 are primarily associated with the actions to exit from the Perrysburg, OH facility which is included in the manufacturing segment.

Postretirement liability curtailment gains were $3 million for the three month period ended September 30, 2007. There were no gains recorded in the comparable period in the prior year. The gains recognized in 2007 are primarily associated with the closure of the Perrysburg, OH facility.

Operating profit was $20 million for the three month period ended September 30, 2007 as compared with $14 million for the comparable prior year period. The increased operating profit in 2007 was primarily the result of gains on disposition of long-term assets and favorable postretirement liability curtailment gains in the third quarter of 2007 partly offset by lower gross profit.

Interest expense was $5 million for the three month period ended September 30, 2007 as compared to $6 million in the comparable prior year period due to reduced principal balances and lower average interest rates.

The effective income tax rate for the three month period ended September 30, 2007 was approximately 43 percent, which is representative of the rate expected to be incurred for the remainder of the year.

Income from discontinued operations was $1 million for the three month period ended September 30, 2007, reflecting gains on the sale of the Defiance Testing and Engineering Services business. Loss from discontinued operations in the comparable prior year period reflects the Noma wire and cable assembly business as well as the Defiance Testing and Engineering Services business.

Nine Months Ended September 30, 2007 Compared with Nine Months Ended September 30, 2006

Net revenues were $466 million for the nine month period ended September 30, 2007 compared with $446 million for the comparable prior year period. The increase was primarily due to higher sales of $22 million in the performance chemicals segment and higher sales of $8 million in the manufacturing segment partially offset by lower sales of $10 million in corporate and other. The increase in the performance chemicals segment is due primarily to increased sales into the water treatment market driven in part by the acquisitions made in 2006. The increase in the manufacturing segment is largely the result of the acquisition of Precision Engine Products in 2006. The shortfall in corporate and other is the result of lower sales into the industrial wire market.

Gross profit was $78 million for the nine month period ended September 30, 2007 as compared to $82 million in the comparable prior year period. Higher gross profit in the performance chemicals segment of $6 million was offset by a reduced gross profit of $9 million in the manufacturing segment. The increase in the performance chemicals segment gross profit was primarily driven by strong revenue performance in the water treatment market. The reduced performance in the manufacturing division was due to reduced sales of higher margin products in the automotive market base business.

Gains on disposition of long term assets of $10 million were the result of the sale of surplus real estate in Denver, CO, El Segundo, CA, and Atlanta, GA.

Selling, general and administrative expense was $39 million for the nine month period ended September 30, 2007 as compared to $38 million in the comparable prior year period. The increase in SG&A expenses were the result of increased long term incentive plan costs of $1 million as well as increased IT costs associated primarily with a new system installed in the performance chemicals segment of $1 million partly offset by a one-time $1 million insurance settlement realized in the first quarter.

Restructuring and impairment charges were $5 million for the nine month period ended September 30, 2007 compared to $2 million for the comparable period in the prior year. The charges recorded in 2007 are primarily associated with the actions to exit the Perrysburg, OH facility which is included in the manufacturing segment and the Newark, NJ sulfuric acid production facility which is included in the performance chemicals segment.

Curtailment gains were $3 million for the nine month period ended September 30, 2007 as compared to $1 million in the comparable period in the prior year. The gains recognized in 2007 are primarily associated with the closure of the Perrysburg, OH facility.

Operating profit was $48 million for the nine month period ended September 30, 2007 as compared with $43 million for the comparable prior year period. The increased operating profit in 2007 was primarily the result of the gains on the disposition of long term assets partly offset by lower gross profit.

Interest expense was $18 million for the nine month period ended September 30, 2007 as compared to $23 million in the comparable prior year period. Interest expense in the prior year period included charges of $4 million for costs related to an amendment of the first and second lien term loan agreements and the write-off of certain deferred financing costs versus $1 million of charges in the current year period. Interest expense in the current period benefited from reduced principal and lower average interest rates resulting in savings of $2 million vs. prior year.

The effective income tax rate for the nine month period ended September 30, 2007 was approximately 42 percent, which is comparable to the 43 percent in the prior year period.

-19-

The loss from discontinued operations for the nine month period ended September 30, 2007 was $7 million, which includes an impairment charge of $6 million related to goodwill of the Defiance Testing and Engineering Services business as compared to $1 million in the prior year period.

Three Months Ended September 30, 2007 Compared with Three Months Ended September 30, 2006

Manufacturing Segment

Net revenues for the manufacturing segment were $32 million for the three month period ended September 30, 2007 as compared to $39 million for the comparable prior year period. This reduction was the result of lower sales in the automotive market of $7 million. The revenues into the automotive market reflect reduced sales volumes sold to historical OEM automotive and heavy equipment customers. Sales into the heavy equipment and diesel engine markets were down versus prior year primarily due to a new engine emission regulation implemented in early 2007, which resulted in strong prior year sales and a resulting reduction in current year demand. Gross profit was $1 million for the three month period ended September 30, 2007 as compared to $6 million for the comparable prior year period. The decrease in gross profit was primarily due to reduced sales of higher margin products sold to automotive market base OEM and heavy equipment customers. In addition, the automotive market business was adversely impacted by a combined $1 million in manufacturing costs resulting from inefficiencies incurred with the transition of operations from the Perrysburg, OH facility into the lower cost Tallahassee, FL location, as well as higher costs to support a new product launch in the Toledo, OH facility. Selling, general and administrative expense was $3 million for the three month period ended September 30, 2007 which was favorable $1 million from the comparable prior year period. Lower selling, general and administrative costs were related to a reduction in the short-term incentive plan accrual commensurate with operating unit performance against

-20-

targets as well as lower retiree medical expenses. Restructuring and impairment charges were $2 million for the three month period ended September 30, 2007 resulting from the closure of the Perrysburg, OH facility. Postretirement liability curtailment gains were $3 million for the three month period ended September 30, 2007 resulting from the closure of the Perrysburg, OH facility which drove the accelerated recognition of unrecognized gains resulting from amendments to the postretirement medical benefit plans. Operating loss was $1 million for the three month period ended September 30, 2007 compared to an operating profit of $2 million for the comparable prior year period. The operating results were driven by the reduced gross profit in the automotive market partly offset by the postretirement liability curtailment gains.

Performance Chemicals Segment

Net revenues for the performance chemicals segment were $106 million for the three month period ended September 30, 2007 as compared to $100 million for the comparable prior year period. This was due to higher sales in the Company’s water treatment market and personal care products market of $8 million and $1 million, respectively, partly offset by lower sales in the chemical processing market of $3 million primarily due to the closure of the Newark sulfuric acid production facility. The increase in sales was the result of higher average pricing and the impact of the acquisitions made in 2006 and early 2007 which are reflected in the water treatment market sales. Gross profit was $20 million for the three month period ended September 30, 2007 as compared to $20 million for the comparable prior year period. The gross profit is driven by continued strong revenue performance primarily in the water treatment market, substantially offset by higher raw material costs and a $3 million increase to the Environmental Liability based on new information and regulatory requirements. Gains on disposition of long-term assets of $10 million were the result of the sale of surplus real estate in Denver, CO, El Segundo, CA, and Atlanta, GA. Selling, general and administrative expense was $8 million for the three month period ended September 30, 2007 compared with $7 million for the comparable prior year period. The increase in selling, general and administrative expenses was driven by increased costs associated with newly implemented IT systems and increased incentive compensation accruals. Operating profit was $22 million for the three month period ended September 30, 2007 which increased $9 million from the comparable prior period. The increase in operating profit was due to the gross margin performance and the gains on disposition of long-term assets, partially offset by the higher selling, general and administrative expense.

Corporate and Other

The reduction in revenues of $7 million from the prior year is the result of reduced revenues in the industrial wire market, primarily driven by the elimination of low margin, commodity wire sales to the recently sold Norma Wire and Cable Harness Assembly business. These reduced sales were partly offset by increased sales of higher margin specialty wire products.

Nine Months Ended September 30, 2007 Compared with Nine Months Ended September 30, 2006

Manufacturing Segment

Net revenues for the manufacturing segment were $119 million for the nine month period ended September 30, 2007 as compared to $111 million for the comparable prior year period. This increase was driven by higher sales in the automotive market. The revenues into the automotive market reflect reduced sales volumes sold to base OEM automotive and heavy equipment customers which were more than offset by the acquisition of Precision Engine Products in the third quarter of 2006. Gross profit was $15 million for the nine month period ended September 30, 2007 as compared to $24 million for the comparable prior year period. The decrease in gross profit was primarily due to a mix shift as reduced sales of higher margin products in the automotive market base business were offset by lower margin sales associated with the Precision Engine Products business. The automotive market business was adversely impacted by a combined $2 million in manufacturing costs related to inefficiencies incurred with the transition of operations from the Perrysburg, OH facility into the lower cost Tallahassee, FL location, as well as higher costs to support a new product launch in the Toledo, OH facility. In addition, the automotive market business was adversely impacted by $1 million in expenses relating to warranty claim expenses from a customer. Selling, general and administrative expense was $11 million for the

-21-

nine month period ended September 30, 2007 which was flat to the comparable prior year period despite the addition of nearly $1 million in added technical resources required to support new business awards. Restructuring and impairment charges were $3 million for the nine month period ended September 30, 2007 as compared to $1 million in the comparable prior year period. Postretirement liability curtailment gains were $2 million for the nine month period ended September 30, 2007 resulting from the closure of the Perrysburg, OH facility which drove the accelerated recognition of unrecognized gains resulting from amendments to the postretirement medical benefit plans. Operating profit of $3 million for the nine month period ended September 30, 2007 compared to an operating profit of $11 million for the comparable prior year period. The operating results were driven by the reduced gross profit in the automotive market combined with the increased restructuring and impairment charges partly offset by the postretirement liability curtailment gains.

Performance Chemicals Segment

Net revenues for the performance chemicals segment were $298 million for the nine month period ended September 30, 2007 as compared to $277 million for the comparable prior year period. This was due to higher sales in the Company’s water treatment market and personal care products market of $26 million and $4 million, respectively, partly offset by lower sales in the chemical processing market of $10 million primarily due to the closure of the Newark facility. The increase in sales was primarily the result of the higher average pricing and the impact of the acquisitions made in 2006 and early 2007 which are reflected in the water treatment market sales. Gross profit was $59 million for the nine month period ended September 30, 2007 as compared to $53 million for the comparable prior year period. The increase in gross profit is primarily attributable to strong revenue performance particularly in the water treatment market, partially offset by higher raw material costs and a $3 million increase to the environmental liability based on new information and regulatory requirements. Gains on disposition of long term assets of $10 million is driven by the sale of surplus real estate. Selling, general and administrative expense was $22 million for the nine month period ended September 30, 2007 compared with $19 million for the comparable prior year period. The increase in selling, general and administrative expenses was the result of increased allocations of corporate overhead costs as well as increased spending on IT systems and higher accrued incentive compensation costs. Restructuring and impairment charges were $2 million for the nine month period ended September 30, 2007. These charges relate to the actions to exit the Newark, NJ sulfuric acid production facility. There were no material restructuring and impairment charges in the comparable prior year period. Pension liability curtailment gains were $1 million for the nine month period ended September 30, 2007 which were flat with the comparable prior period. Operating profit was $45 million for the nine month period ended September 30, 2007 which was favorable $11 million from the comparable prior period. The increase in operating profit was due to the strong gross margin performance plus the gains on disposition of long-term assets, partially offset by the higher selling, general and administrative expense and restructuring charges in the current period.

Corporate and Other

Net revenues in corporate and other were $48 million for the nine month period ended September 30, 2007 as compared to $58 million for the comparable prior year period. This reduction was the result of lower sales in the industrial wire market, primarily driven by elimination of low margin, commodity wire sales to the recently sold Norma Wire and Cable Harness Assembly business. These reduced sales were partly offset by increased sales of higher margin specialty wire products. The decrease in operating loss is primarily the result of a one-time $1 million insurance settlement realized in the first quarter.

Financial Condition, Liquidity and Capital Resources

Cash and cash equivalents were $13 million at September 30, 2007, compared to $5 million at December 31, 2006. Significant cash flows during the 2007 period included capital expenditures of $21 million, net revolver payments of $10 million, debt payments of $135 million, and acquisitions of $3 million, offset by proceeds from sales of assets of $112 million and borrowings of $50 million.

The Company had working capital of $97 million at September 30, 2007 as compared to working capital of $168 million at December 31, 2006. This decrease in working capital principally reflects a decrease in assets held for sale due to the sale of the Noma wire and cable harness assembly business and the Defiance Testing and Engineering Services, Inc. subsidiary, partially offset by increases in accounts receivable and inventory, and a decrease in accounts payable.

On March 19, 2007, the Company completed an amendment to its credit facilities which enabled it to increase borrowings under the first lien term loan by $50 million and to use these borrowings and the net

-22-

proceeds from the Noma wire and cable harness assembly business sale to redeem the entire second lien term loan.

Cash payments for employee termination costs and facility exit costs totaled $4 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2007.

The Company expects to make approximately $30-35 million of capital expenditures during 2007.

On August 7, 2007, the Company’s board of directors authorized a stock repurchase program pursuant to which the Company will purchase in the aggregate up to $30 million of its common stock in open market and negotiated purchases over a period of three years, dependent upon market conditions. This program does not obligate the Company to acquire any particular amount of common stock and the program may be suspended at any time at the Company’s discretion. During the third quarter of 2007, the Company repurchased 75,593 shares for a total of $2 million in accordance with the terms of a Rule 10b5-1 trading program which the Company entered into to effectuate the stock repurchase program.

Management believes that the Company’s cash flow from operations and availability under its revolving credit facility will be sufficient to cover future debt service requirements, capital expenditures, stock repurchases, and working capital requirements during the remainder of 2007.

Off Balance Sheet Arrangements

The Company has approximately $8 million of standby letters of credit outstanding as of September 30, 2007.

Contractual Obligations

On March 19, 2007, the Company repaid the entire second lien term loan balance of $113 million, which was included in the contractual obligations table in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2006 under long-term debt, with payments due after five years, and borrowed $50 million of additional first lien term loan debt, with payments due of $0.4 million in less than one year, $1 million in one to three years, and $48.6 million in four to five years.

As a result of the implementation of FIN 48 in the first quarter of 2007, the Company recognized a $2.8 million decrease in the liability for unrecognized tax benefits. The total amount of unrecognized tax benefits as of September 30, 2007 was $14.2 million and has been classified as non-current income tax liabilities in the consolidated balance sheet. During the next twelve months, it is reasonably possible that the total amount of unrecognized tax benefits will significantly change by up to approximately $8 million due to the expiration of statute of limitations or the settlement of examinations. The Company is currently unable to reasonably determine when the remaining amounts will be resolved.

(deficit) of $2.8 million. The total amount of unrecognized tax benefits as of January 1, 2007 was $13.5 million, of which $11.5 million would, if recognized, affect the effective tax rate.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.

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

Interest rate risk

At September 30, 2007, the Company’s debt financing consisted primarily of amounts outstanding under the Company’s credit facility. The borrowings outstanding under the Company’s credit facility are collateralized by substantially all of the personal property and certain real property of the Company and its domestic subsidiaries. Borrowings under the Company’s credit facility are sensitive to changes in interest rates. Given the existing level of borrowings under the credit facility of $247 million as of September 30, 2007, a one percent change in the weighted-average interest rate would have an interest impact of approximately $0.1 million each month.

		Weighted-Average Interest Rate at
Principal Balance	Fair Value	September 30, 2007	Scheduled Maturity
$247 million	$240 million	7.53%	February 28, 2011

In April 2005, the Company entered into two five year interest rate collar agreements in the aggregate notional amount of $185 million, in order to hedge against the effect that interest rate fluctuations may have on the Company’s floating rate debt. The interest rate to be paid will be based on a minimum three-month LIBOR of 4.05 percent on average and a maximum three-month LIBOR of 5.00 percent. These interest rate collar agreements are scheduled to mature in 2010. The fair value of the agreements was $0.1 million at September 30, 2007.

-24-

Foreign currency exchange rate and commodity price risks

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

Item 4. Controls and Procedures.

(a) Disclosure Controls and Procedures.

The Company’s management, with the participation of the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)) as of September 30, 2007. Based on such evaluation, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that, as of as of September 30, 2007, the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures are effective at the reasonable assurance level.

(b) Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting.

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