Schedule B – Exceptions to Company Debt

Paulinia Account Receivable Discount Transactions – During October 2003, KRATON Polymers do Brasil (“KPdB”) entered into Account Receivable Discount transactions with Unibanco. KPdB assigned 25 of its U.S. Dollar based foreign receivables, totaling US$691,942.66 and received R$1,974,780.61 in return. KPdB is obligated to pay interest to Unibanco during the period the Accounts Receivable are outstanding. KPdB guarantees that the bank will be paid the US$691,942.66. Therefore, should the receivables not be collected, KPdB must pay the bank and KPdB would incur a bad debt if collection efforts failed. As such, these transactions involve only KPdB’s highest quality U.S. Dollar Accounts Receivables. The Account Receivable discount transactions are booked as a reduction or credit to Accounts Receivable and an increase or debit to Cash on KPdB’s books. No loan or payable to the bank is recorded.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

(a)

Organization, Acquisition, and Description of Business

On February 28, 2001, Ripplewood Chemical Holdings LLC (Holdings and, together with its subsidiaries, unless otherwise indicated, are collectively referred to as we, our, ours, and us) purchased the KRATON Polymers Business from the Royal Dutch/Shell Group of Companies (Shell) (the Transaction). The Transaction was financed through (i) an equity investment of $141.7 million from us, (ii) borrowings under senior credit facilities at KRATON Polymers LLC, our wholly owned subsidiary (KRATON), and (iii) the offering by KRATON and one of its wholly owned subsidiaries of senior subordinated notes. KRATON’s senior credit facilities consist of a six-year, $50 million revolving credit facility and an eight-year, $300 million term loan facility. The senior subordinated notes (Notes) were sold by KRATON in the aggregate principal amount of $110 million. We financed our equity investment through the sale of $40 million of Class A Preferred Units (the Class A Units or the Preferred Equity Interests) and $101.7 million of Class B Units (the Class B Units), $15 million of which was issued to Shell as part of the consideration for the Transaction. The sources and uses of funds for the Transaction were as follows (amounts in millions):

The Transaction was accounted for under the purchase method of accounting. Accordingly, the purchase price has been allocated to the fair value of the assets and liabilities acquired as of the date of acquisition. The purchase price allocation included an allocation of approximately $44.2 million to reflect the fair value of inventory and a write-down to the historical book value of property, plant, and equipment. The unaudited summarized pro forma balance sheet as of February 28, 2001 follows (amounts in millions):

We manufacture styrenic block copolymers, or SBCs, at our manufacturing facilities in six countries: Belpre, Ohio; Wesseling, Germany; Berre, France; Pernis, The Netherlands; Paulinia, Brazil; and our joint venture in Kashima, Japan. SBCs are highly engineered synthetic elastomers which are used in a wide variety of products to impart flexibility, resilience, strength, durability, and processability. We generally sell our products to customers for use in industrial and consumer applications.

We are a holding company whose only material asset is our investment in KRATON.

(b)

Principles of Consolidation

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of all of our wholly owned subsidiaries, with all significant intercompany accounts and transactions, including intercompany profits in inventory, having been eliminated.

(c)

Cash Equivalents

It is our policy to invest our excess cash in investment instruments whose value is not subject to market fluctuations, such as bank deposits, or certificates of deposit. Other permitted investments include commercial paper of major U.S. corporations with ratings of A1 by Standard & Poor’s Ratings Group or P1 by ▇▇▇▇▇’▇ Investor Services, Inc., loan participations of major U.S. corporations with a short term credit rating of A1/P1 and direct obligations of the U.S. government or its agencies. We consider all investments having a remaining maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.

(d)

Accounts Receivable

Accounts receivable are recorded at the invoiced amount and do not bear interest. The allowance for doubtful accounts is our best estimate of the amount of probable credit losses in our existing accounts receivable. We determine the allowance based on historical write-off experience and national economic data. We review the allowance for doubtful accounts monthly. Past due balances over 90 days and above a specified amount are reviewed individually for collectibility. Account balances are charged off against the allowance after all means of collection have been exhausted and the potential for recovery is considered remote. We do not have any off-balance sheet credit exposure related to our customers.

(e)

Inventories

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market. Cost is determined on the first-in, first-out basis.

(f)

Property, Plant, and Equipment

Property, plant, and equipment are recorded at cost. Major renewals and improvements which extend the useful lives of equipment are capitalized. Repair and maintenance expenses are charged to operations as incurred. Disposals are removed at carrying cost less accumulated depreciation with any resulting gain or loss reflected in operations. We capitalize interest costs which are incurred as part of the cost of constructing major facilities and equipment. We did not record any capitalized interest in 2002 and 2001. Depreciation is provided using the straight-line method over the following estimated useful lives:


Machinery and equipment		20 years
Building and land improvements		20 years
Computer hardware/information systems		5 years
Office equipment		10 years
Research equipment and facilities		5 years
Vehicles		5 years

(g)

Investment in Joint Venture

Our 50% equity investment in a joint venture at our Kashima site is accounted for under the equity method with our share of the operating results of the joint venture recorded in earnings in joint venture in the accompanying statement of operations.

(h)

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 144, Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets, provides a single accounting model for long-lived assets to be disposed of. We adopted SFAS No. 144 on January 1, 2002. The adoption of SFAS No. 144 did not affect our financial statements.


		8		(Continued)

RIPPLEWOOD CHEMICAL HOLDINGS LLC AND SUBSIDIARIES

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

December 31, 2002 and 2001

In accordance with SFAS No. 144, long-lived assets, such as property, plant, and equipment, and purchased intangibles subject to amortization, are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset to estimated undiscounted future cash flows expected to be generated by the asset. If the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its estimated future cash flows, an impairment charge is recognized as the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset exceeds the fair value of the asset.

Prior to the adoption of SFAS No. 144, we accounted for long-lived assets in accordance with SFAS No. 121, Accounting for Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long Lived Assets to be Disposed Of.

(i)

Deferred Financing Costs

Deferred financing costs relating to long-term debt are amortized over the term of the related debt instrument using the effective interest method.

(j)

Income Taxes

We conduct operations in separate legal entities in certain non-U.S. tax jurisdictions and as a result, income tax amounts are reflected in these financial statements on a separate return basis. The U.S. operations have not provided for income taxes in the accompanying statement of operations or deferred taxes in the accompanying balance sheet as they arc a limited liability companies which are flow-through entities for federal income tax purposes. Accordingly, our members will be responsible for any federal or state income tax liabilities resulting from those operations.

Net operating losses and credit carryforwards are recorded in the event such benefits are expected to be realized by the non-U.S. operating companies. Deferred taxes result from differences between the financial and tax bases of our assets and liabilities and are adjusted for changes in tax rates and tax laws when changes are enacted. Valuation allowances are recorded to reduce deferred tax assets when it is more likely than not that a tax benefit will not be realized.

(k)

Revenue Recognition

We recognize revenue from sales when title transfer and products are shipped. We classify amounts billed to customers for shipping and handling as revenues, with the related shipping and handling costs included in cost of goods sold. By-product sales (included in other revenues) are also recorded upon shipment.

We have entered into agreements with some of our customers, whereby they earn rebates from us when the volume of their purchases of our product reach certain agreed upon levels. Rebates are recognized as a reduction in revenues as earned.

(l)

Research and Development Expenses

Research and development expenses are expensed as incurred.

(m)

Foreign Currency Translation and Foreign Exchange

Financial statements of our operations outside the U.S. where the local currency is considered to be the functional currency are translated into U.S. dollars using the exchange rate at each balance sheet date for assets and liabilities and the average exchange rate for each period for revenues, expenses, gains and losses and cash flows. The effects of translating such operations into U.S. dollars are included as a component of other comprehensive loss in members’ equity.

(n)

Environmental Costs

Environmental costs are expensed as incurred unless the expenditures extend the economic useful life of the relevant assets. Costs that extend the economic life of assets are capitalized and depreciated over the remaining life of those assets. Liabilities are recorded when environmental assessments or remedial efforts are probable, and the cost can be reasonably estimated.

(o)

Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The carrying amount approximates fair value for cash and cash equivalents, receivables, accounts payable, and certain accrued expenses due to the short maturities of these instruments. The fair values of long-term debt instruments are estimated based upon market values (if applicable) or on the current interest rates available to us for debt with similar terms and remaining maturities. Considerable judgment is required in developing these estimates and, accordingly, no assurance can be given that the estimated values presented herein are indicative of the amounts that would be realized in a free market exchange.

(p)

Financial Statement Estimates

The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reported periods. Significant estimates include allowances for doubtful accounts, inventory reserves, environmental reserves, litigation contingencies, assets and obligations related to employee benefits, and taxes, among others. Actual results could differ from these estimates.

(q)

Recently Issued Accounting Standards

SFAS No. 143, Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations, was issued in June 2001. SFAS No. 143 requires us to record the fair value of an asset retirement obligation as a liability in the period in which it incurs a legal obligation associated with the retirement of tangible long-lived assets that result from the acquisition, construction, development, and/or normal use of the assets.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

December 31, 2002 and 2001

We also record a corresponding asset that is depreciated over the life of the asset. Subsequent to the initial measurement of the asset retirement obligation, the obligation will be adjusted at the end of each period to reflect the passage of time and changes in the estimated future cash flows underlying the obligation. We are required to adopt SFAS No. 143 on January 1, 2003. We are currently evaluating the impact of adopting SFAS No. 143.

SFAS No. 145, Rescission of FASB Statements No. 4, 44, and 64, Amendment of FASB Statement No. 13, and Technical Corrections, was issued in April 2002. SFAS No. 145 amends existing guidance on reporting gains and losses on the extinguishment of debt to prohibit the classification of the gain or loss as extraordinary, as the use of such extinguishments have become part of the risk management strategy of many companies. SFAS No. 145 also amends SFAS No. 13 to require sale-leaseback accounting for certain lease modifications that have economic effects similar to sale-leaseback transactions. The provisions of the Statement related to SFAS No. 13 were effective for transactions occurring after May 15, 2002, with early application encouraged. The adoption of SFAS No. 145 is not expected to have a material effect on our financial statements.

SFAS No. 148, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation – Transition and Disclosure, an amendment of FASB Statement No. 123, was issued in December 2002. This statement amends SFAS No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation, to provide alternative methods of transition for a voluntary change to the fair value method of accounting for stock-based employee compensation. In addition, this Statement amends the disclosure requirements of SFAS No. 123 to require prominent disclosures in both annual and interim financial statements. Certain of the disclosure modifications are required for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2002. The adoption of SFAS No. 148 is not expected to have a material effect on our financial statements.

SFAS No. 150, Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with Characteristics of both Liabilities and Equity, was issued in May 2003. SFAS No. 150 provides guidance on how to classify and measure certain financial instruments with characteristics of both liabilities and equity. This statement is effective for financial instruments entered into or modified after May 31, 2003, and otherwise is effective at the beginning of the first interim period after June 15, 2003. The Company is evaluating the impact of the standard and does not expect it to have a material impact on our financial statements.

Senior Secured Credit Facilities

In connection with the Transaction, we and KRATON entered into senior secured credit facilities (the Facilities) in the aggregate principal amount of $350,000,000. The Facilities consist of a $50,000,000 revolving credit facility (the Revolving Facility, and the loans made thereunder, the Revolving Loans) and a $300,000,000 term loan facility (the Term Facility, and the loans made thereunder, the Term Loans) and are subject to the terms and conditions of the Credit Agreement, dated as of February 28, 2001, (the Credit Agreement), among us, KRATON, the several lenders from time to time parties thereto and The Chase Manhattan Bank, as administrative agent. The Facilities are secured by a perfected first priority security interest in all of each Loan Party’s tangible and intangible assets, including, without limitation, intellectual property, real property, all of the capital stock of KRATON and each of its domestic subsidiaries and 66% of the capital stock of direct foreign subsidiaries of each Loan Party. As of December 31, 2002 and 2001, we had no outstanding borrowings under the Revolving Facility. We and each of KRATON Polymers U.S. LLC, Elastomers Holdings LLC, and KRATON Polymers Capital Corporation, all of which are subsidiaries of KRATON (such entities, together with KRATON, the Loan Parties), have guaranteed the Facilities.

Maturity

Loans outstanding under the Revolving Facility are payable on February 28, 2007. The Term Facility is payable in 28 consecutive quarterly installments, commencing on March 31, 2002, and ending on February 28, 2009. The first four installments are each 0.99% of the principal amount, the next sixteen installments are each 2.24% of the principal amount, the next four installments are 5.02% of the principal amount, and the final four installments are each 10.03% of the principal amount.

Interest

The Loans bear interest, at our election, at (a) the LIBO Rate plus the Applicable Rate (such Loans, Eurodollar Loans) or (b) the Alternate Base Rate plus the Applicable Rate (such Loans, ABR Loans). The LIBO Rate with respect to any interest period is the rate appearing on Page 3750 of the Dow ▇▇▇▇▇ Market Service as the rate for dollar deposits with a maturity comparable to such interest period. The Alternate Base Rate means the highest of (i) the rate of interest publicly announced by The Chase Manhattan Bank as its prime rate in effect at its principal office in New York City, (ii) the secondary market rate for three-month certificates of deposit (adjusted for statutory reserve requirements) plus 1%, and (iii) the federal funds effective rate from time to time plus 0.5%. The Applicable Rate means 3.25% per annum with respect to any Term Loan which is an ABR Loan and 4.25% with respect to any Term Loan which is a Eurodollar Loan as of December 31, 2002. The Applicable Rate with respect to Revolving Loans is calculated based on the total leverage ratio of KRATON at the end of each fiscal quarter and ranges from 1.75% (for ABR Loans if the total leverage ratio is less than or equal to 2.50 to 1.00) to 3.5% (for Eurodollar Loans if the total leverage ratio is greater than 3.25 to 1.00). Interest on ABR Loans is payable quarterly in arrears. Interest on Eurodollar Loans is payable at the end of each interest period selected by KRATON, which interest period may be one, two, three, six, (or, with the consent of each Lender, nine or twelve) months.

Optional and Mandatory Prepayments

KRATON may, at its option, prepay the Loans at any time. In addition, the following amounts must be applied to prepay the Term Loans and reduce the Revolving Facility:

•

50% of the net proceeds of any sale or issuance of equity by us or any subsidiary;

•

100% of the net proceeds of any sale or other disposition by us or any subsidiary of any assets (with certain exceptions) subject to a reinvestment capacity;

•

100% of the net proceeds of the incurrence of indebtedness (with certain exceptions) by us or subsidiary; and

•

75% of our excess cash flow for each fiscal year.

On December 14, 2001 and September 9, 2002, we made voluntary prepayments on the Term Loan of $15 million and $10 million, respectively. We made a required prepayment related to excess cash flow generated during the ten months ended December 31, 2001, of $22,350,000 on April 2, 2002. We will not have to make a prepayment related to excess cash flow generated during the year ended December 31, 2002.

Covenants

The Credit Agreement contains certain affirmative covenants including, among others, covenants to furnish the Lenders with financial statements and other financial information and to provide the Lenders notice of material events and information regarding collateral.

The Credit Agreement contains certain negative covenants including limitation on indebtedness, limitation on liens, limitation on fundamental changes, limitation on investments, limitation on asset sales, limitation on sales and leasebacks, limitation on restricted payments, limitation on transactions with affiliates, and certain financial covenants.

As of December 31, 2002 and 2001, we are in compliance with all covenants under the Credit Agreement.

(b)

Senior Subordinated Notes Due February 28, 2011

In connection with the Transaction, KRATON and KRATON Polymers Capital Corporation sold the Notes in an aggregate principal amount of $110 million. The Notes are subject to the provisions for mandatory and optional prepayment and acceleration contained in the Securities Purchase Agreement (the SPA) and are payable in full on February 28, 2011. We, KRATON Polymers U.S. LLC and Elastomers Holdings LLC (together, the Guarantors), have guaranteed the Notes. The carrying value of the Notes at December 31, 2002 and 2001 is $101.5 million and $100.5 million, respectively. At the time of the Transaction, the carrying value of the Notes was reduced by the market value of the warrants to purchase our Class B Units which were issued to purchasers of the Notes. This difference will be accreted as a component of interest expense through February 28, 2007.

Interest

The Notes bear interest at a fixed rate of 13% per annum. Interest is payable (i) twice each year, (ii) upon any redemption or prepayment as described below, and (iii) at maturity.

Optional Redemption

Generally, KRATON cannot elect to redeem the Notes until February 28, 2004. After such date, KRATON may elect to redeem the Notes at certain predetermined redemption prices, plus accrued, and unpaid interest. Prior to February 28, 2004, KRATON may redeem up to a maximum of 35% of the Notes with the proceeds of certain permitted equity offerings at a redemption price equal to 113% of the principal amount of the Notes being redeemed, plus accrued, and unpaid interest.

Covenants

The SPA and the Notes contain certain affirmative covenants including, among others, covenants to furnish the holders of Notes with financial statements and other financial information and to provide the holders of Notes notice of material events.

The SPA and the Notes contain certain negative covenants including limitation on indebtedness, limitation on restricted payments, limitation on restrictions on distributions from certain subsidiaries, limitation on lines of business, merger and consolidation, and certain financial covenants.

As of December 31, 2002 and 2001, we are in compliance with all covenants under the SPA and the Notes.

Registration Rights

Beginning February 28, 2004, upon the request of the holders of the Notes representing at least 80% of the Notes, we must register with the Securities and Exchange Commission and issue in exchange for the Notes, debt securities of KRATON (the Exchange Notes) that are identical in all material respects to the Notes. If we fail to register, issue, and deliver the Exchange, we will be required to pay certain liquidated damages to the holders of the Notes.

Income Taxes

Income taxes are recorded utilizing an asset and liability approach. This method gives consideration to the future tax consequences associated with the differences between the financial accounting basis and tax basis of the assets and liabilities, and the ultimate realization of any deferred tax asset resulting from such differences. We consider all foreign earnings as being permanently invested in that country.

We are, for U.S. tax purposes, considered a flow-through entity and therefore, do not pay U.S. income taxes. Therefore, a U.S. tax provision is not required. We do, however, own foreign subsidiaries that are subject to tax in various jurisdictions.

The provision for income taxes for the foreign operations for the periods ended December 31, 2002 and 2001 are as follows:

As of December 31, 2002 and 2001, a valuation allowance of $2.9 million and $3.2 million had been recorded related to certain deferred tax assets in France and the Netherlands. The increase in the valuation allowance of $1.489,000 in 2001 relates to the Company’s evaluation of the recoverability of deferred tax assets in France. The reduction in the valuation allowance of $384,000 during 2002 relates to our expected ability to use the previously reserved deferred tax asset in France.

In assessing realizability of deferred tax assets, management considers whether it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income during the periods in which those temporary differences become deductible. Based upon the projection of future taxable income at December 31, 2002, management believes it is more likely than not that it will not realize the majority of its deferred tax asset related to the Netherlands.

Employee Benefits

We have established the following benefit plans:

(a)

U.S. Retirement Benefit Plans

We have a noncontributory defined benefit pension plan in the U.S. which covers all salaried and hourly wage employees. The benefits under this plan are based primarily on years of service and employees’ pay near retirement. For our employees who were employed as of March 1, 2001 and who (i) were previously employed by Shell and (ii) elected to transfer their pension assets to KRATON, we consider the total combined Shell and KRATON service when calculating the employee’s pension benefit. For those employees who (i) elected to retire from Shell or (ii) elected not to transfer their pension benefit, only KRATON service (since March 1, 2001) is considered when calculating benefits.

Other Retirement Benefit Plans

We have established a defined benefit plan in The Netherlands designed to be equivalent to the predecessor plan provided by Shell. Employer and employees contribute to this plan. The planned retirement age under the previous Shell arrangement was 60 years of age. Under the terms of our plan, the normal retirement age has been established at 65 years of age. However, employees over the age of 35 as at March 1, 2001, will retain the retirement age of 60. For employees aged 35 years or under as of March 1, 2001, normal retirement age has been increased to 65 years, and we have established a separate defined contribution plan and contribute 2.75% of pensionable salary into this plan. The defined benefit plan is available for new employees with a retirement age of 65 years. The defined contribution plan is available to new employees on a voluntary basis. Only employee contributions will apply to the defined contribution plan. Contributions to the defined benefit plan for the year ended December 31, 2002 and the ten months ended December 31, 2001 were $2.4 million and $0, respectively.

On March 1, 2001, we established a defined contribution plan in the United Kingdom. This plan applies only to employees who transferred from Shell and these employees had the option to transfer a “Transfer Value” relating to their Shell Pension Plan Services to our plan. The employee and employer contribute to this plan. Employee contributions are 4% of base pay above the applicable upper earnings limit. Our contributions vary and were established on an individual basis to provide an equivalent benefit plan to the one previously offered by Shell. There will be no additional members admitted to this plan. We also established a defined contribution plan for United Kingdom employees who joined us since March 1, 2001. Employees are required to contribute a minimum of 4% of their base salary into the Plan, and we contribute a minimum of 5%. Contributions to the plan for the year ended December 31, 2002 and the ten months ended December 31, 2001 were $0.2 million and $0.2 million, respectively.

Postretirement Benefits Other Than Pensions

Health and welfare benefits are provided to benefit eligible employees in the U.S. who retire from KRATON. Retirees under the age of 65 are eligible for the same medical, dental, and vision plans as active employees. Our subsidy schedule for medical plans is based on accredited service at retirement. Retirees are responsible for the full cost of premiums for postretirement dental and vision coverage. In general, the plans stipulate that health and welfare benefits are paid as covered expenses are incurred.

Employees who were retirement eligible as of February 28, 2001, have at their option the right to participate in either Shell or KRATON postretirement health and welfare plans.

We accrue the cost of these benefits during the period in which the employee renders the necessary service.

KRATON Savings Plan

The KRATON Savings Plan, as adopted on March 1, 2001, covers substantially all U.S. employees, including executive officers. KRATON Polymers amended and restated the Savings Plan in April 2002 to comply with changes in legislation in 2002, and subsequently submitted a revised request for an IRS determination letter. Since all qualified plans were required to comply with the new legislation in 2002, the IRS is experiencing a backlog of work. The KRATON Polymers Savings Plan has not yet received a determination, but we anticipate the Plan's qualification under Section 401(k) of the Internal Revenue Code in 2003.

Through automatic payroll deduction, participants have the option to defer up to 60% of eligible earnings in any combination of pretax and/or post-tax contributions. Contributions are subject to annual dollar limitations set forth in the Internal Revenue Code. We will make employer contributions of 0, 3, 5, or 10% of a participant’s compensation, based upon the employee’s completed years of service. For our employees who were employed as of February 28, 2001 and who

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

December 31, 2002 and 2001

were previously employed by Shell, we recognize their Shell years of service for purposes of determining employer contributions under our Plan. Overall, a participant may direct up to a maximum of 100% of eligible earnings to this Plan, but cannot exceed the IRS maximum limit of $40,000 for the combined total of employee and employer contributions. Contributions to the plan for the year ended December 31, 2002 and the ten months ended December 31, 2001 were $2.8 million and $2.2 million, respectively.

Commitments and Contingencies

(a)

Lease Commitments

We have entered into various long-term noncancelable operating leases, including leases with Shell (see note 8). Future minimum lease commitments at December 31, 2002 are as follows: 2003 – $5.2 million; 2004 – $5.2 million; 2005 – $5.2 million; 2006 – $4.9 million; 2007 – $3.8 million; and thereafter – $16.2 million. We recorded $5.6 million and $4.1 million in rent expense for the year ended December 31, 2002 and the ten months ended December 31, 2001, respectively.

(b)

Environmental and Safety Matters

Our finished products are not classified as hazardous. However, our operations involve the handling, transportation, treatment, and disposal of potentially hazardous materials that are extensively regulated by environmental, health and safety laws, regulations, and permit requirements. Environmental permits required for our operations are subject to periodic renewal and can be revoked or modified for cause or when new or revised environmental requirements are implemented. Changing and increasingly strict environmental requirements can affect the manufacturing, handling, processing, distribution, and use of our chemical products and the raw materials used to produce such products and, if so affected, our business and operations may be materially and adversely affected. In addition, changes in environmental requirements can cause us to incur substantial costs in upgrading or redesigning our facilities and processes, including waste treatment, disposal, and other waste handling practices and equipment.

We conduct environmental management programs designed to maintain compliance with applicable environmental requirements at all of our facilities. We routinely conduct inspection and surveillance programs designed to detect and respond to leaks or spills of regulated hazardous substances and to correct identified regulatory deficiencies. We believe that our procedures for waste handling are consistent with industry standards and applicable requirements. In addition, we believe that our operations are consistent with good industry practice. However, a business risk inherent with chemical operations is the potential for personal injury and property damage claims from employees. contractors and their employees, and nearby landowners and occupants. While we believe our business operations and facilities generally are operated in compliance, in all material respects, with all applicable environmental and health and safety requirements, we cannot be sure that past practices or future operations will not result in material claims or regulatory action, require material environmental expenditures, or result in exposure or injury claims by employees, contractors and their employees, and the public. Some risk of environmental costs and liabilities are inherent in our operations and products, as it is with other companies engaged in similar businesses.

December 31, 2002 and 2001

The Paulmia, Brazil, and Belpre, Ohio, facilities are subject to a number of actual and/or potential environmental liabilities primarily relating to contamination caused by former operations at those facilities. Some environmental laws could impose on us the entire costs of cleanup regardless of fault, legality of the original disposal, or ownership of the disposal site. In some cases, the governmental entity with jurisdiction could seek an assessment for damage to the natural resources caused by contamination from those sites. Shell has agreed, subject to certain limitations, in time and amounts to indemnify us against most environmental liabilities related to the acquired facilities that arise from conditions existing prior to the closing.

We had no material operating expenditures for environmental matters in 2002 and 2001.

(c)

Legal Proceedings

We and certain of our subsidiaries are parties to several legal proceedings that have arisen in the ordinary course of business. While the outcome of these proceedings cannot be predicted with certainty, management does not expect these matters to have a material adverse effect on our financial position, results of operations, or cash flows. Shell has agreed subject to certain limitations to indemnify us for certain claims brought with respect to matters occurring before February 28, 2001.

Financial Instruments

(a)

Interest Rate Cap

KRATON entered into a 3-month LIBOR interest rate cap agreement with ▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇ as of September 7, 2001, that will continue until May 7, 2004. This agreement had an initial cost to KRATON of $150,000 with no future expenses. The interest rate cap ▇▇▇▇▇▇ $95 million of our $242 million outstanding Term Loans at the following rates for the following periods:


LIBOR interest rate cap		7.5% – September 7, 2001 to May 7, 2003
LIBOR interest rate cap		9% – May 7, 2003 to May 7, 2004

The fair value of this interest rate cap was immaterial at December 31, 2002 and 2001.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The following table presents the carrying values and fair values of our long-term debt at December 31, 2002 and 2001:


	2002
	Carrying value		Fair value
	(in thousands)
Term loans	$	242,236	$	242,236
Notes		101,494		106,994

	2001
	Carrying value		Fair value
	(in thousands)
Term loans	$	285,000	$	285,000
Notes		100,450		100,450

Due to the Term Loans having variable interest rates, the fair value equals their carrying value. Our Notes are privately held; therefore, the fair value cannot be determined due to the lack of trading information. As of December 31, 2001, due to the relatively short period of time since the Transaction, management believes the fair value of the Notes approximates the carrying value. As of December 31, 2002, the fair value of the Notes was estimated based on a combination of (i) quoted market prices of traded issues of other specialty chemicals companies after considering differences in credit ratings, interest rates, and maturity dates and (ii) analysis of market interest rates and trends affecting us. The fair value of the Notes is an estimate. Accordingly, actual prices agreed to between buyers and sellers in private transactions could be substantially different than our estimate of the fair value.

Related-Party Transactions

KRATON entered into transactions with subsidiaries and affiliates of Shell at the time of the Transaction. Shell has an approximately 11% equity interest in us.

(a)

Leases with Shell

Each of our manufacturing facilities located in Berre, France; Pernis, The Netherlands; and Wesseling, Germany are located on property which is leased to us by Shell affiliates under long-term arrangements. The land on which our manufacturing facility in Berre, France, is located is leased to us by a Shell affiliate under the terms of two 30-year leases beginning from January 1, 2000. Our manufacturing facility in Pernis, The Netherlands, is leased to us by a Shell affiliate under the terms of a sublease, which expires on June 30, 2024.

The Houston, Texas, lease terminates in nine years; the Louvain-La-Neuve, Belgium, lease terminates in six years; and the Amsterdam, The Netherlands, lease terminates in four years.

We also lease our corporate headquarters in Houston, Texas, from a Shell affiliate. This lease terminates in June 2006.

All lease agreements with Shell and Shell affiliates are at negotiated arm’s length prices.

(b)

Operating Agreements with Shell

Shell operates our manufacturing facilities located in Berre, France; Pernis, The Netherlands; and Wesseling, Germany.

Our manufacturing facilities in Berre, France, and Pernis, The Netherlands, are situated on major Shell petrochemical sites at which other third party tenants also own facilities. Pursuant to two 20-year agreements, Shell operates and maintains the manufacturing facilities that we purchased in Berre, France, and Pernis, The Netherlands. Shell charges us fees based on certain costs incurred in connection with operating and maintaining these facilities. Pursuant to the agreements, Shell employs and provides all staff other than certain plant managers and assistant plant managers and technical personnel whom we may appoint.

Pursuant to a 40-year agreement dated March 31, 2000, Basell Polyolefins, Shell’s joint venture with BASF GmbH, operates, as well as provides certain services, materials, and utilities required to operate, the manufacturing facility in Wesseling, Germany. We pay Elenac a monthly fee as well as costs incurred by Elenac in providing the various services, even if the facility fails to produce any output (whether or not due to events within Elenac’s control) or we reject some or all output.

All operating agreements with Shell and Shell affiliates are at negotiated arm’s length prices.

(c)

Site Services, Utilities, Materials, and Facilities Agreements with Shell

Shell, through local operating affiliates, provides various site services, utilities, materials, and facilities at the manufacturing facilities they operate and maintain for us in Berre, France, and Pernis, The Netherlands; as well as at our research and development facilities in Amsterdam, The Netherlands; Louvain-la-Neuve, Belgium; and Houston, Texas. Generally these services, utilities, materials, and facilities are provided by Shell at our manufacturing facilities on either a long-term basis, short-term basis, or a sole-supplier basis. Items provided on a sole-supplier basis may not be terminated except upon termination of the applicable agreement in its entirety. Items provided on a long-term or short-term basis may be terminated individually under certain circumstances.

All site services, utilities, materials, and facilities agreements with Shell are at negotiated arm’s length prices.

Raw Materials Agreements with Shell

Shell supplies minimum annual quantities of styrene, isoprene, and butadiene, the three most important raw materials for the production of KRATON products, to our manufacturing facilities in the U.S. and Europe.

Under each of the seven agreements summarized below, reasonably unforeseen circumstances, including plant breakdowns, will excuse performance by either party. In addition, pursuant to the agreements governing our U.S. facility, Shell’s inability to acquire any material necessary for manufacturing the applicable raw material from its usual sources and on terms it deems reasonable will excuse Shell’s nonperformance. If performance is excused in the U.S., Shell is not required to purchase the styrene, isoprene, or butadiene, as the case may be, to satisfy its obligations to us in the U.S., and can apportion its available supply among all its customers and its own internal uses as it deems fair and reasonable. As is the case in the U.S., in Europe, if Shell’s performance is excused, Shell is not required to purchase the styrene, isoprene, or butadiene, as the case may be, to satisfy its obligations to us and can, during the affected period, reduce, on a pro rata basis, the quantities it supplies to us and other contractual customers.

Styrene

Pursuant to an agreement dated August 30, 1999, Shell, through a local operating subsidiary, supplies, and we purchase, a nominated volume of styrene per year for our manufacturing facility in the U.S. We purchased approximately 45,000, and 39,000 metric tons of styrene pursuant to this agreement in 2001 and 2002, respectively. Pursuant to an agreement dated August 4, 2000, we purchase a minimum of 28,000 metric tons, and Shell, through a local operating subsidiary, supplies a maximum of 40,000 metric tons, of styrene per year in aggregate for our manufacturing facilities in The Netherlands, France, and Germany. The agreed annual quantities are subject to increase or decrease upon annual review by the parties. The initial term of each agreement ends December 31, 2005 and will automatically renew indefinitely subject to 12 months prior written notice of termination by either party.

In the U.S., Shell charges a price based on market prices for styrene, subject to a minimum based on the market prices for benzene and ethylene, the chemicals from which styrene is produced. Notwithstanding this price floor, however, Shell will match any lower price for available styrene of like quality and quantity produced in the U.S. under similar terms and conditions or will deduct from our remaining annual obligation all quantities we purchase at this price. In Europe, Shell charges a price based on market indicators, including market prices for benzene and ethylene and labor costs.

Isoprene

Pursuant to an agreement dated September 11, 1999, Shell, through a local operating subsidiary, supplies, and we purchase, a nominated volume of isoprene per year for our manufacturing facility in the U.S. We purchased approximately 30,000 and 34,000 metric tons of isoprene pursuant to this agreement in 2001 and 2002, respectively. Pursuant to an agreement dated February 28, 2001, we purchase a minimum of 20,000 metric tons, and Shell, through a local operating subsidiary, supplies a maximum of 25,000 metric tons, of isoprene per year in the aggregate for our manufacturing

RIPPLEWOOD CHEMICAL HOLDINGS LLC AND SUBSIDIARIES

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

facility in The Netherlands. The agreed annual quantities are subject to increase or decrease upon annual review by the parties. The initial term of each contract will end December 31, 2009 and will automatically renew indefinitely, subject to 12 and 24 months prior written notice of termination in the U.S. and The Netherlands, respectively, by either party.

If we fail to purchase 95% of the agreed quantity of isoprene in either the U.S. or The Netherlands in a given year, unless excused because of reasonably unforeseen circumstances, including plant breakdowns, we must pay Shell an idle capacity fee pursuant to formulas set forth in the contract.

In both the U.S. and The Netherlands, should we require additional isoprene above the agreed quantity, Shell will supply this additional demand at the agreed upon price from its own capacity or otherwise purchase such additional volumes on our behalf at the market price.

In both the U.S. and The Netherlands, Shell will charge a price based on monthly and annually calculated factors based on market indicators such as oil prices and labor costs.

We are currently renegotiating both of the U.S. and The Netherlands agreements and expect to finalize these agreements by the end of the first quarter of 2003.

Butadiene

Pursuant to an agreement dated September 11, 1999, Shell, through a local operating subsidiary, supplies, and we purchase, a nominated volume of butadiene per year for our manufacturing facility in the U.S. We purchased approximately 51,000 and 55,000 metric tons of butadiene pursuant to this agreement in 2001 and 2002, respectively. Pursuant to agreements dated July 1, 1999 and December 1, 1999, we purchase a minimum of 18,000 and 30,000 metric tons, and Shell supplies a maximum of 40,000 and 47,000 metric tons, of butadiene per year for our manufacturing facilities in France and Germany, respectively. The agreed annual quantities are subject to increase or decrease upon annual review by the parties. The initial terms for the supply arrangements in the U.S., France, and Germany end December 31, 2005, December 31, 2007, and December 31, 2040, respectively. Each contract will automatically renew indefinitely subject to 12, 24, and 60 months prior written notice of termination in the U.S., France, and Germany, respectively.

In both the U.S. and Europe, Shell charges a price based on published market prices for butadiene. In the U.S., however, if we can provide satisfactory evidence of available butadiene, in certain minimum quantities during a one-year period, of like quality produced in the U.S. at a lower price under similar terms and conditions and Shell chooses not to match this lower price, we may deduct all quantities so purchased from the remaining applicable annual quantity.

(e)

Transitional and Interim Service Arrangements with Shell

In connection with the Transaction, we identified certain services that we believed were necessary to our business and that we could not initially provide ourselves. In order to facilitate our transition to a stand-alone company, we entered into agreements whereby Shell and its affiliates have provided and/or continue to provide many of those services including financial services, information technology services, technical services, sales and marketing services, and operational, administrative, and supply management services for a period of between six months and two years, depending on the service, following the closing of the Transaction.

December 31, 2002 and 2001

During the year ended December 31, 2002 and the ten months ended December 31, 2001, we incurred $4.2 million and $11.6 million, respectively, of startup costs related to accounting and information technology services that were either provided to us by Shell or were provided by third parties that were previously contracted by Shell.

Interim Agreements for Information Technology Services

Pursuant to two agreements executed at the closing of the Transactions, Shell provided information technology services to us. These services included voice communications systems, computer access and network services, customer service, desktop computer support, and other related services. The agreements each had a term of two years from the closing of the Transaction. We may terminate any particular service prior to expiration of the agreements, provided that we reimburse Shell for any expenses it incurs due solely to such termination.

▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇▇▇ terminated these agreements and negotiated a new contract with and transitioned to a new information technology service provider to provide continued support for the majority of our information technology requirements through June 2005. We provide any and all other information technology services not provided by the new provider.

Other Transitional Services

Additional transitional and interim arrangements with Shell and its affiliates include:

•

at our Belpre, Ohio, manufacturing facility and Westhollow research facility in Houston, Texas, for automatically renewable one-year periods, technical services, including chemical engineering services, equipment engineering, access to technical personnel, and information technology infrastructure and applications services; and

•

at our Westhollow research facility, for automatically renewable one-year periods, library services, files, and records management and travel management.

(f)

Infineum

We have entered into several commercial agreements with Infineum, a joint venture between Shell and ExxonMobil, related to: (i) the sharing by Infineum of certain production capacity at our Belpre, Ohio, manufacturing facility, and (ii) our production of certain additives for Infineum at our Berre, France, manufacturing facility. The Belpre, Ohio, agreements have a 30-year term, and the Berre, France, agreement has an initial term ending in June 2004, extendable for another two-year term.

We have established a management equity plan (the Plan) designed lo align the interests of management with those of the holders of our Units. Pursuant to the LLC Agreement, we initially reserved for issuance 3,175 Class B Units and 6,095 Class C Units for issuance pursuant to the Plan. Under the Plan, a management participant purchases interests in either Ripplewood Chemical Management LLC or Ripplewood Chemical Management Corporation (the Management Equity Vehicles). The Management Equity Vehicle then purchases a like number of our Units. For each Class B Unit indirectly acquired by each participant in the Plan, that participant is granted a number of Class C Units. The participant is fully vested in each of his Class B Units, but the Class C Units granted to him are subject to forfeiture, based upon a declining scale, if the participant voluntarily terminates his employment without “Good Reason” prior to the fourth anniversary of the date of grant, or terminates employment with “Good Reason,” or is terminated by us without “Cause” prior to the third anniversary of the date of grant. Participants terminated for “Cause” prior to the fourth anniversary of the date of grant forfeit all Class C Units. At December 31, 2002 and 2001, 2,220 Class B Units and 4,308 Class C Units had been issued to the Management Equity Vehicles pursuant to the Plan, which Units are included in the numbers outstanding described above.

In connection with the Plan, KRATON loaned to each Plan participant up to 75% of the purchase price of the Class B Units issued to such participant. Each such loan matures in four consecutive annual installments, commencing on the fourth anniversary of the date thereof, in amounts equal to 6.67%, 6.67%, 6.67%, and 79.99% of the principal amount of the Loan on the fourth, fifth, sixth, and seventh anniversary dates of such loan, respectively. Interest accrues on such loans at the prime rate in effect at The Chase Manhattan Bank plus 0.5%. At December 31, 2002 and 2001, such loans in the principal amount of $1.4 million and $1.3 million, respectively, were outstanding and included in members’ equity.

Distributions

Net income and losses are required to be allocated among our members in a manner such that the capital account of each member, immediately after making such allocation, is equal, as nearly as possible, to the distributions that would be made to such member if we were dissolved, our affairs wound up and our assets sold for cash equal to their carrying value, all of our liabilities were satisfied, and our net assets were distributed to the members (in the percentages required by the LLC Agreement) immediately after making such allocation. The proceeds of any sale of our assets are required to be distributed in the following order:

First, 100% to the holders of Class A Units (Class A Holders) until such holders have received distributions equal to their capital contribution plus a guaranteed 14% per annum cumulative annual compounded return on their capital contributions, less any prior distributions. Dividends on the Class A Units were approximately $6,870,000 and $4,615,000 for the year ended December 31, 2002 and the ten months ended December 31, 2001, respectively.

Second, 100% to the holders of the Class B Units, including the Management Equity Vehicles and holders of Warrants (Class B Holders), until each Class B Holder has received distributions equal to such holder’s capital contribution or deemed capital contribution less any prior distributions.

Third, amounts equal to an 8% cumulative annual compound return to the Class B Holders and holders of Class C Units, including the Management Investment Vehicles (Class C Holders).

Fourth, an amount equal to 10% of the amount distributed in Clause 3 above and this clause with respect to Class B Holders other than Warrant holders, to Ripplewood Holdings LLC (Ripplewood) and an amount such that a pro rata portion of the amount distributed under this Clause 4 is distributed to holders of Warrants, the Management Investment Vehicles with respect to its Class B Units and the Class C Holders according to the percentage of total Units each such holder owns.

Fifth, thereafter, 100% pro rata to all Class B Holders and Class C Holders, provided that, with respect to Class B Holders other than the Management Equity Vehicles and holders of Warrants, 10% of such amount will be paid to Ripplewood.

To the extent funds are legally available therefore, we are required, no later than five business days prior to the date that federal quarterly tax payments are due, to make cash distributions (Tax Distributions) to each holder of Units or Warrants equal to 50% of the amount of taxable income allocated to such holder (in its capacity as holder of Units or Warrants) during such period. On January 9, 2002, we distributed $2,307,490 to the Class A Holders representing 50% of the $4,614,980 of income allocated to them during the period from February 28, 2001 through December 31, 2001. In addition, we distributed $2.3 million during 2002 to the Class A Holders as estimated payments for the 50% of income to be allocated to them for 2002.

RIPPLEWOOD CHEMICAL HOLDINGS LLC AND SUBSIDIARIES

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

December 31, 2002 and 2001

Although the Class A Units accrue distributions at a 14% per annum compounded rate from the date of their initial issuance, we are not required to make cash distributions to the Class A Holders (other than Tax Distributions) in respect of those accrued distributions until March 31, 2006. However, if at any time following March 31, 2006, we fail to pay those quarterly distributions in cash, an Event of Noncompliance will have occurred. Events or Noncompliance may also occur if we violate other provisions of the LLC Agreement or SPA. During the continuation of an Event of Noncompliance, (x) the Class A Unit yield rate will increase automatically from 14% per annum to 16% per annum, and (y) the size of the Board will be expanded by up to two additional Representatives and the Class A Holders will have the sole right to designate and elect the two additional Representatives to the Board. On February 28, 2012, we must redeem the Class A Units for an amount equal to their initial issuance price plus all accrued but unpaid distributions thereon. Upon a “change of control” (as defined in the SPA) each Class A Holder will have the right to require us to redeem his Class A Units for an amount equal to 101% of the sum of their initial issuance price plus all accrued but unpaid distributions thereon.

Schedule 3.10 – Litigation

▇▇▇▇▇ ▇. KRATON Polymers U.S. LLC. A lawsuit was filed against KRATON on December 9, 2002 by ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇, the father of ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇, an employee of KRATON, who died on the Belpre plant premises on March 12, 2002. The lawsuit alleges that KRATON committed an intentional tort which allows the plaintiff to seek compensation outside of the traditional Worker’s Compensation Statute. The lawsuit was filed in the Court of Common Pleas in Washington County (Case Number 02TR322). On March 31, 2003, the Plaintiff agreed to have the case dismissed, without prejudice, pursuant to a Stipulation of Dismissal. The statute of limitations for wrongful death is two years in Ohio. Since ▇▇. ▇▇▇▇▇ died on March 12, 2002, the case must be refiled on or before March 12, 2004. At the present time, it appears that Plaintiff’s counsel will proceed against Prudential who denied the Bruce’s claim under the KRATON’s Voluntary Accidental Personal Accident policy ($219,128 potential benefit) and the Employee Work-Related Accidental Death policy ($250,000). The denial was based upon the autopsy report which concluded that death was the result of natural causes.

Belpre RCRA 3008(h) Administrative Order on Consent, U.S. EPA Docket No. RCRA-05-2003-0007 and RCRA Consent Agreement and Final Order, U.S. EPA Docket No. 5, RCRA ’97-003, RCRA Consent Order. In March 1997, Shell Oil Company entered into a Consent Order with Region 5, US EPA as a result of a RCRA Facility Assessment for the Belpre site conducted by the US EPA in 1989. Under the Consent Order, Shell Oil Company is still required to investigate areas specified by the Corrective Measures Study and its Implementation after US EPA approval (4Q2000 with conditions and modifications). Consent Agreement and Final Order effective March 7, 1997. In June 2002, the US EPA proposed a new consent order to implement remediation to Shell and KRATON Polymers. The new Consent Order is effective March 17, 2003 and names both Shell Oil Company and KRATON Polymers U.S. LLC.

Schedule 3.11 – Exceptions to Licenses, Permits and Compliance with Laws

1.	See all items listed in Schedule 3.10.

Paulinia Brazil Plant Facility – In October 2002, in the normal course of operations, while drilling to install pilings at a section in the utility area to install a new tank, KRATON personnel noticed an odor of para-cresol coming from that area. In order to prevent any employee exposure issues, KRATON sealed the excavation site with concrete. On December 26, 2002, a Notice of Interdiction was served on KRATON by the Brazilian Ministry of Labor requiring KRATON to block access to the former IONOL plant area and informing KRATON that the proceeding could be converted into a Civil Inquiry in the future. In February 2003, KRATON made a written request of Shell to extend the area of cleanup under Item #1 to Schedule A of the Non-US Environmental Agreement to include the utility area. To date, Shell has declined to accept responsibility for the utility area site under Item #1, Schedule A of that agreement. In the event KRATON cannot amicably reach agreement with Shell, KRATON will make a formal indemnity claim under the Non-US Environmental Agreement prior to February 28, 2004.

The environmental permit for air emissions was exceeded for concentration on the SIS-line and the IR-line at the Pernis facility. Corrective measures are currently being reviewed with implementation expected in early 2004, which is acceptable to local authorities. The projected capital cost is approximately EUR300,000 over four years.

4.	Belpre, Ohio

(a)

Upcoming MACT standard for Industrial-Commercial-Institutional Boilers will require additional emission controls and/or good combustion practices for facility’s boilers.

(b)

Asbestos is present in the facility, mainly as non-friable floor tile and friable thermal systems insulations. Suspect materials appear to have been tested and labeled. There are maintenance procedures in place. Asbestos materials are abated on an as-needed basis and placed in a dedicated dumpster.

(c)

In 1998, Shell submitted to OEPA a plan for closure of boiler that formerly burned ignitable hazardous waste (until 1995). As of 2002, OEPA had not approved or commented on closure plan.

(d)

In 2000, hazardous waste drum storage area had numerous cracks in concrete pad, some sealed and some not sealed.

(e)

There is documented soil- and groundwater contamination identified on the subject property and adjacent Nova Chemicals parcels. The subject property has entered into a consent agreement with the USEPA for the monitoring/remediation of the property.

(f)

Arsenic in effluent from coal slag pond outfall above permitted limit in 10 separate monitoring samples (1997, 1998, 1999 and 2000).

(g)

In 2000, the slope above South Run-off pond had erosion pattern indicating potential for collapse of slope section.

(h)

In 2000, biomonitoring of two effluent samples from storm water outfall 014 had 100% and 95% mortality of test species.

(i)

PCBs – The dielectric fluid in the transformers and large capacitors have been replaced with non-PCB fluids. As of 2000, disposal manifests are on file at the plant.

5.	Westhollow, Texas

(a)

Asbestos is present in the elastomer unit. This asbestos is documented and there are established procedures for its handling and abatement when needed.

(b)

Soil and groundwater contamination has been reported on the site. A monitoring/remediation program is on going. A portion of this contamination was the result of elastomer unit operations. Shell, as the property owner, has been identified as the responsible party for this contamination.

6.	Paulinia, Brazil

(a)

The Kraton Polymers do Brasil S/A (KPB) site has 22,000 square feet of cement-asbestos sheds used as roof and walls of a warehouse and the IONOL^™ plant respectively.

(b)

Two environmental events originated from the former Shell Crop Protection manufacturing activities (today a 100% BASF property): (i) contamination of the aquifer under the site by a small amount (tens of gallons) of solvents used in the formulation of crop protection products by Shell; (ii) contamination of the acquifer under the site (today 100% BASF land property) by a small amount of 1,2 Di-Chlor-Ethane (1,2 DCA). Shell Brazil S/A, Divisāo Quimica made a self-declaration to the public authorities in 1994 and set up a plan to remediate the situation. Agreement was signed by Shell with the Public Prosecutor in Paulinia, SP.

(c)

Shell Brazil S/A conducted (1999) an investigation of the subsoil and ground water in the close vicinity of the former plant of antioxidants (IONOL^™) which is located within the present site/land owned by KPB. The investigation demonstrated that there is a soil and ground water contamination by phthalates, orto and p-cresols, ethylbenzene, toluene and xylene.

(d)

The KPB site has an operational Hazardous Waste landfill constructed in 1989 with state-of-the-art technology to encapsulate residues from Crop Protection Manufacturing. Regular monitoring of the quality of the water percolating the concrete layers is analyzed before discharge.

7.	Pernis, The Netherlands

(a)

During maintenance asbestos was found between the floors in the dryer, asbestos concrete was found in the doors in the dryer. Measures have been taken to prevent exposure.

(b)

A combination of process and cooling water discharges directly into the harbour. Samples have been taken on a regular basis by Rijkswaterstaat, the issuer of the water permit, and Shell. Shell reports four times a year about the quality and quantity of the wastewater. No problems have been experienced.

(c)

In 2000, Shell proposed to replace the existing control rooms in CMR 1, CMR 2 and CMR 3 by one new control room.

8.	Amsterdam, The Netherlands

(a)

In 2000, asbestos was observed to be present in the fume cupboards of the main laboratory.

9.	Berre, France

(a)

The principle of the pollution monitoring is to control pollution migration towards identified targets outside the site at the site fence by means of piezometers and annual monitoring campaigns. Site personnel consider likely that some soil contamination level exists on or near the concerned plant.

(b)

The unit was built in 1976. As of 2000, the concrete floor is reported to be watertight and appeared to be in relatively good condition. However, the integrity of the polystyrene joints has never been assessed.

Schedule 3.12(b) – Exceptions and Encumbrances to Intellectual Property

None.

Schedule 3.12(c) – Exceptions to Use of Intellectual Property

In 2003 Dow Chemical approached KRATON regarding a possible violation of two secrecy agreements originally entered into between Shell and Dow relating to the disclosure by Shell of experimental metallocene ethylene polymers in patent applications filed by Shell in respect of patents WO 02/28965 Al, filed October 4, 2001, and European Patent EP 0 712 892 B2. filed November 14, 1995. Without admitting fault, KRATON Polymers and Shell entered into a non-exclusive, royalty- free license with Dow Chemical granting them rights under these patents and applications, in exchange for Dow forgiving any possible claim against KRATON Polymers or Shell. This Settlement Agreement is listed on page 109 of Schedule 3.12(a).

In 2002 KRATON resolved a lawsuit with Asahi in Japan concerning KX 412 and KX 419 polymers in bitumen compositions through an amicable settlement. The settlement included a settlement fee which was paid in full before September 30,2003, an immunity from suit on products stabilized with Irgaphos 168, a limited immunity from suit with respect to Epon 825 coupled products, and an improved royalty rate on KRATON functionalized polymer. These settlement agreements are listed on page 109 of Schedule 3.12(a).

Schedule 3.13 – Exceptions to Tax Filings

1.	Shell/KRATON Tax Settlement Agreement, dated September 23, 2002.

KRATON Polymers Italy S.r.l. and KRATON Polymers UK Limited are currently being audited by Inland Revenue, United Kingdom, for the tax year 2000. The audit is in the information gathering stage. At the present time, no liability is expected. The tax loss for the year 2000 was approximately US$326,000 which is expected to be enough to cover any deficiency.

In May 2003, KRATON filed a $600,000 refund request from the State of Texas regarding overpayment of Sales Taxes. Pursuant to this refund request the State is auditing the periods under this request (March 2001 to December 2002). It is expected that the audit and settlement will be completed within the next year.

The Company is under audit by the State of Texas for Franchise Taxes for the years 2000-2003 (calendar years 1999-2002). The Company is responsible as the filing party for 2002 and 2003. The 2001 year will be a coordinated audit with Shell. The opening meeting with the State of Texas is scheduled for November 10, 2003. It is anticipated that any deficiencies found on the Franchise Tax audit can be off-set with the Sales Tax refund (see Item #3 above). As of the date hereof, the Company does not anticipate any assessment in respect of this issue and no liability is expected as a result of this audit.

In late 2001 and early 2002, the Company developed a plan for construction of an effluent treatment unit (Biotreater) at the Paulinia, Brazil site. The Company subsequently received a report from Shell Chemical indicating that the area designated for the Biotreater was contaminated with aromatic hydrocarbons in the soil and 1,2 Dichloroethane in the ground water. The Company determined to construct the Biotreater in another area, notified Shell of the contamination to the initial location and requested Shell to accept responsibility for any remediation. Subsequently, the Company received a report from Shell in May 2003 stating that the original report had falsely detected 1,2 Dichloroethane in the initial location. Shell acknowledged the new report and informed the Company that no remediation was necessary.

Establishment of a trading company in Shanghai Waigaoquiao Free Trading Zone (China) which will hold inventory, employ staff and conduct trade in local currency. The Company expects that this will require a capital investment of approximately $200,000.

Medical plan provisions for U.S. employees - The medical inflation rate for health care costs in the United States has been very high, necessitating changes in premiums and coverage to avoid very high increases in health care costs to the employees and the Company, as it is a shared premium. The Company recognizes that we may have to continue to review such premiums and coverage and make additional changes should these circumstances continue.

The Chemical Union of Brazil has opened negotiations with the Brazilian Chemical Companies Representatives seeking to reach an agreement regarding the Annual Statutory Salary Adjustment, minimum industry wage, minimum profit sharing, business social responsibility and contractors participation, among other issues. The main focus of the negotiations, however, is on the salary adjustment percentage. The results of this negotiation must be followed by the entire Brazilian chemicals industry, including KRATON Polymers do Brasil S.A. In the event of a deadlock in the negotiations, a court will make a final determination, which determination will be binding throughout the industry, including KRATON Polymers do Brasil S.A. Given the small number of employees of KRATON Polymers do Brasil S.A., however, the Company does not expect any wage increases to have a substantial impact.
