CAUTIONARY STATEMENT RELATIVE TO FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

This Form 10-Q contains certain “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. All statements other than statements of historical facts included or incorporated herein may constitute forward-looking statements. Such forward-looking statements include statements (covered by words like “expects”, “anticipates”, “may”, “believes” or similar words or expressions), for example, which relate to operating performance, events or developments that we expect or anticipate will or may occur in the future (including, without limitation, any of the Company’s guidance in respect of sales, gross margins, pension liabilities and charges, net income, growth potential and other measures of financial performance). Although forward-looking statements are believed by management to be reasonable when made, caution should be exercised not to place undue reliance on such statements because they are subject to certain risks, uncertainties and assumptions, including in respect of the general business environment, regulatory actions or changes. If the risks or uncertainties materialize or assumptions prove incorrect or change, our actual performance or results may differ materially from those expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements and assumptions. Additional information regarding risks, uncertainties and assumptions relating to the Company and affecting our business operations and prospects are described in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010, and other reports filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. You are urged to carefully review and consider the cautionary statements and other disclosures made in those filings, including specifically those under the heading “Risk Factors”. The Company undertakes no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.

NOTES TO UNAUDITED INTERIM CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE 1—BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The accompanying unaudited interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Accordingly, they do not include all the information and notes necessary for a comprehensive presentation of financial position, results of operations and cash flows.

It is our opinion, however, that all adjustments (consisting of normal, recurring adjustments, unless otherwise disclosed) have been made which are necessary for the financial statements to be fairly stated. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed on February 18, 2011.

The results for the interim period covered by this report are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year.

When we use the terms the “Corporation”, “Company”, “Registrant”, “we”, “us” and “our”, we are referring to Innospec Inc. and its consolidated subsidiaries (“Innospec”) unless otherwise indicated or the context otherwise requires.

During the second quarter of 2011, the Company revised the classification of certain amortization of intangible assets expenses in its results for 2011 and comparable information for 2010. Previously, these expenses were disclosed separately within operating expenses. This has no impact on 2011 or any prior periods’ reported net sales, income before income taxes, net income, earnings per share, net cash provided by operating activities or any balance sheet category. The classification of expenses of $1.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2011, and $4.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2010, with respect to amortization of intangible assets has been revised from operating expenses to an increase in costs of goods sold of $0.8 million and $3.1 million, respectively, and an increase in selling expenses of $0.4 million and $1.6 million, respectively. The impact on gross profit and selling, general and administrative expenses for the previously reported quarters is provided below:

NOTES TO UNAUDITED INTERIM CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS—(Continued)

In April 2011, the Company received a purchase order from the Iraqi Ministry of Oil (“MOO”) for 2,000 tonnes of tetra ethyl lead (“TEL”). Upon completion of the order 160.5 tonnes of free issue TEL is to be supplied to the MOO in full and final settlement of any claims the Republic of Iraq may have against the Company concerning claims on certain payments totalling approximately €2.0 million that had been claimed by the MOO in connection with two contracts dating back to 2003. Signed acceptance of the terms was received from the MOO on June 13, 2011. The free issue TEL is contingent on delivery and payment for the full 2,000 tonnes.

NOTE 2—SEGMENTAL REPORTING

Innospec divides its business into three distinct segments for both management and reporting purposes: Fuel Specialties, Active Chemicals and Octane Additives. The Fuel Specialties and Active Chemicals segments both operate in markets where we actively seek growth opportunities but their end customers are different. The Octane Additives segment is characterized by declining demand.

The Company evaluates the performance of its segments based on operating income. The following table analyzes sales and other financial information by the Company’s reportable segments:

NOTE 3—PENSION PLANS

The Company sponsors a contributory defined benefit pension plan (the “Plan”) covering a number of its current and former employees in the United Kingdom. The components of the net periodic cost were as follows:

	$	(0.1	)	$	(2.5	)	$	(0.3	)	$	(8.4	)

The Company closed the Plan to future service accrual with effect from March 31, 2010 and accordingly we recorded a non-cash curtailment loss of $8.2 million in the first quarter of 2010. During the second quarter of 2010 the Company implemented a pension increase exchange (“PIE”) program for current pensioners, effective April 1, 2010, which reduced the projected benefit obligation (“PBO”) by $17.1 million. This reduction in PBO resulted in a prior service credit which is being amortized using the straight-line method over the remaining life expectancy of Plan pensioners of 15 years commencing April 1, 2010. The PIE program provided pensioners with the option of receiving a one-off immediate increase to their pension in lieu of future non-statutory increases. During the fourth quarter of 2010 the Company implemented an enhanced transfer value (“ETV”) program for deferred pensioners which reduced the PBO by $15.7 million and resulted in a settlement loss of $1.1 million. The ETV program provided deferred pensioners with the option of transferring their existing pension entitlement from the Plan to another vehicle in exchange for an enhancement to the standard terms available for such a transfer.

The Company expects its annual cash contribution to the Plan for 2011 to be approximately $9 million (2010—$15.5 million).

A full triennial actuarial valuation of the Plan was performed as at December 31, 2008 and an update performed as at December 31, 2010. Following guidance issued by the United Kingdom government during 2010, and agreement from the Plan trustees, the Company changed the inflation rate measure used in the December 31, 2010 update from the Retail Prices Index to the Consumer Prices Index resulting in a reduction in actuarial net losses on an accounting basis of approximately $47 million. At September 30, 2011, the Company has a pension liability of $5.8 million recorded in its balance sheet.

Ethyl

An intangible asset of $28.4 million was recognized in the second quarter of 2007 in respect of Ethyl foregoing their entitlement effective April 1, 2007 to a share of the future income stream under the sales and marketing agreements to market and sell tetra ethyl lead. In 2008 contract provisions no longer deemed necessary of $6.3 million were offset against the intangible asset. The amount attributed to the Octane Additives reporting segment is being amortized straight-line to December 31, 2012 and the amount attributed to the Fuel Specialties reporting segment is being amortized straight-line to December 31, 2017. An amortization expense of $1.5 million was recognized in the first nine months of 2011 (2010—$1.5 million) in cost of goods sold.

Others

The remaining intangible assets of $26.0 million relate to those recognized in the acquisition accounting in respect of technology, customer relationships and patents. These assets are being amortized straight-line over periods of up to 13 years. In the first nine months of 2011 amortization expenses of $0.8 million and $1.1 million were recognized in cost of goods sold and selling, general and administrative expenses, respectively (2010—$0.8 million and $1.2 million, respectively).

Impairment of Octane Additives segment goodwill

Our Octane Additives segment is the world’s only producer of tetra ethyl lead (“TEL”). The Octane Additives segment comprises sales of TEL for use in automotive gasoline and trading in respect of our environmental remediation business. Worldwide use of TEL has declined since 1973 following the enactment of the U.S. Clean Air Act of 1970 and similar legislation in other countries. The trend of countries exiting the leaded gasoline market has resulted in an average rate of decline in volume terms in demand for TEL in the last five years of approximately 10% per annum.

In light of the continuing decline in the Octane Additives market globally, as the Company makes sales of Octane Additives in each quarter, the remaining sales and corresponding cash flows that can be derived from the Octane Additives segment are reduced, and accordingly the fair value of the Octane Additives segment is reduced. As a result, the Company determined that quarterly impairment tests be performed from January 1, 2004 and any impairment charge arising be recognized in the relevant quarter. Given the quantum and predictability of the remaining future cash flows from the Octane Additives segment, the Company expects goodwill impairment charges to be recognized in the income statement on an approximate straight-line basis to December 31, 2012.

All of the $11.8 million of unrecognized tax benefits, and interest and penalties, would impact our effective tax rate if recognized.

We recognize accrued interest and penalties associated with uncertain tax positions as part of income taxes in our consolidated statements of income.

In the third quarter of 2011, the Company determined that a portion of the NewMarket Corporation civil complaint settlement (see Note 13), and associated legal and other professional expenses, would be tax deductible and accordingly recorded a $4.8 million addition to unrecognized tax benefits. Also during the third quarter of 2011, an additional $0.2 million was recorded in respect of acquisition-related costs; and there was a $1.8 million reduction in unrecognized tax benefits, and $0.1 million for associated interest and penalties, due to the expiration of applicable statutes of limitations for certain tax years.

The Company or one of its subsidiaries files income tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction, and various state and foreign jurisdictions. As at September 30, 2011, the Company’s subsidiaries in the U.S. are subject to state tax audits in various states, and the Company’s German subsidiaries are subject to tax audits. The Company does not anticipate that adjustments, if any, arising out of these tax audits would result in a material change to its financial position as at September 30, 2011.

The Company and its U.S. subsidiaries remain open to examination by the IRS for years 1998 to 2004 and 2007 onwards due to the net operating losses in the period 1998 to 2002, although no examination is currently underway. The Company’s subsidiaries in foreign tax jurisdictions are open to examination including France (2008 onwards), Germany (2005 onwards), Switzerland (2009 onwards) and the United Kingdom (2008 onwards).

NOTE 8—STOCKHOLDERS’ EQUITY AND SHARE BASED COMPENSATION PLANS

At September 30, 2011, the Company had authorized common stock of 40,000,000 shares (December 31, 2010—40,000,000). Issued shares at September 30, 2011, were 29,554,500 (December 31, 2010—29,554,500) and treasury stock amounted to 6,203,781 shares (December 31, 2010—5,851,298).

The Company has five active stock option plans, two of which provide for the grant of stock options to employees, one provides for the grant of stock options to non-employee directors, and another provides for the grant of stock options to key executives on a matching basis provided they use a proportion of their annual bonus to purchase common stock in the Company on the open market. The fifth plan is a savings plan which provides for the grant of stock options to all Company employees provided they commit to make regular savings over a pre-defined period which can then be used to purchase common stock upon vesting of the options. The stock options have vesting periods ranging from 24 months to 6 years and in all cases stock options granted expire within 10 years of the date of grant. All grants are at the sole discretion of the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors. Grants may be priced at market value or at a premium or discount. The aggregate number of shares of common stock reserved for issuance which can be granted under the plans is 2,640,000.

The fair value of these options is calculated using the Black-Scholes model. In some cases certain performance related options are dependent upon external factors such as the Company’s share price. The fair value of these options is calculated using a Monte Carlo model.

The aggregate intrinsic value of fully vested stock options is $0.7 million. Of the 118,190 stock options that are exercisable, 27,284 have performance conditions attached. The total compensation cost for the first nine months of 2011 was $2.3 million (2010—$2.2 million). The total compensation cost related to non-vested stock options not yet recognized at September 30, 2011 is $4.2 million and this cost is expected to be recognized over the weighted average period of 1.68 years.

No stock options awards were modified in 2011 or 2010.

The total intrinsic value of options exercised in the first nine months of 2011 was $2.1 million (2010—$3.4 million). The amount of cash received from the exercise of stock option awards in the first nine months of 2011 was $0.7 million (2010—$0.1 million). The Company’s policy is to issue shares from treasury stock to holders of stock options who exercise those options. During the first nine months of 2011 the new total fair value of shares vested was $2.9 million (2010—$4.4 million).

The total options vested in the first nine months of 2011 were 290,363 (2010 – 174,298).

An additional long-term incentive plan is in place to reward selected executives for delivering exceptional performance. Under this plan a discretionary bonus will be payable to eligible executives if the Innospec share performance out-performs that of competitors, as measured by the Russell 2000 Index, by a minimum of 10% over the five years from January 2008 to December 2012. The amount of bonus which can be earned will be a set cash amount for each one percentage point of out-performance. The maximum bonus under this plan will be payable for an out-performance versus the Russell 2000 Index of 30%. The maximum bonus under this plan, in respect of the current participants, is $8.0 million (2010—$8.0 million). No bonus is payable under this plan if the Innospec share price does not out-perform the Russell 2000 Index by more than 10% over the five year period, or the Russell 2000 Index falls in value over the same period.

On February 6, 2009, we entered into a three-year finance facility which provides for borrowings by us of up to $150.0 million including a term loan of $50.0 million and revolving credit facility of $100.0 million. The revolving credit facility can be drawn down until the finance facility expires on February 6, 2012. Up to $50.0 million of the revolving credit facility may be drawn down by the Company in the U.S.. The term loan repayments are as follows: $10.0 million was paid on February 5, 2010; $15.0 million was paid on February 7, 2011; and $25.0 million is due on February 6, 2012.

The Company’s finance facility contains restrictive clauses which may constrain our activities and limit our operational and financial flexibility. The facility obliges the lenders to comply with a request for utilization of finance unless there is an event of default outstanding. Events of default are defined in the finance facility and include a material adverse change to our business, properties, assets, financial condition or results of operations. The facility contains a number of restrictions that limit our ability, amongst other things, and subject to certain limited exceptions, to incur additional indebtedness, pledge our assets as security, guarantee obligations of third parties, make investments, undergo a merger or consolidation, dispose of assets, or materially change our line of business.

In addition, the facility also contains terms which, if breached, would result in the loan becoming repayable on demand. It requires, among other matters, compliance with two financial covenant ratios measured on a quarterly basis. These requirements are (1) the ratio of net debt to EBITDA shall not be greater than 2.5:1 and (2) the ratio of EBITDA to net interest shall not be less than 4.0:1. EBITDA is a non-GAAP measure of liquidity defined in the finance facility. Management believes that the Company has not breached these covenants throughout the period to September 30, 2011, and expects to not breach these covenants for the remaining term of the facility. The finance facility is secured by a number of fixed and floating charges over certain assets of the Company and its subsidiaries.

On September 13, 2011, the Company settled the NewMarket Corporation civil complaint. The settlement agreement included the Company issuing a $15.0 million promissory note to NewMarket Corporation payable in three equal annual installments (carrying simple interest at 1% per annum), the first installment of which is due on September 10, 2012.

NOTE 10—PLANT CLOSURE PROVISIONS

The liability for estimated closure costs of Innospec’s Octane Additives manufacturing facilities includes costs for personnel reductions (severance), decontamination and environmental remediation activities (remediation) when demand for TEL diminishes. Severance provisions have also been made in relation to Corporate personnel and personnel in the three reporting segments.

Balance at September 30	$	1.0		$	0.0		$	22.5		$	23.5		$	23.3

Amounts due within one year refer to provisions where expenditure is expected to arise within one year of the balance sheet date. Severance charges are recognized in the income statement as restructuring costs along with other restructuring costs. Remediation costs are recognized in cost of goods sold.

Remediation

The remediation provision represents the fair value of the Company’s liability for asset retirement obligations. The accretion expense recognized in the first nine months of 2011 was $2.1 million.

The Company records environmental liabilities when they are probable and costs can be estimated reasonably. The Company has to anticipate the program of work required and the associated future costs, and has to comply with environmental legislation in the relevant countries. The Company views the costs of vacating our Ellesmere Port site in the United Kingdom as a contingent liability because there is no present intention to exit the site. The Company has further determined that, due to the uncertain product life of TEL, particularly in the market for aviation gasoline, there exists such uncertainty as to the timing of such cash flows that it is not possible to estimate them sufficiently reliably to recognize a provision.

NOTE 11—FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date (exit price). The Company utilizes a mid-market pricing convention for valuing the majority of its assets and liabilities measured and reported at fair value. The Company utilizes market data or assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability, including assumptions about risk and the risks inherent in the inputs to the valuation technique. These inputs can be readily observable, market corroborated or generally unobservable. The Company primarily applies the market approach for recurring fair value measurements and endeavors to utilize the best available information. Accordingly, the Company utilizes valuation techniques that maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. The Company is able to classify fair value balances based on the

INNOSPEC INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO UNAUDITED INTERIM CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS—(Continued)

observability of those inputs. The Company gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurement) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurement). Financial assets and liabilities are classified in their entirety based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The Company’s assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement requires judgment and may affect the valuation of fair value assets and liabilities and their placement within the fair value hierarchy levels. In the nine months ended September 30, 2011, the Company evaluated the fair value hierarchy levels assigned to its assets and liabilities, and concluded that there should be no transfers into or out of Levels 1, 2 and 3.

The following table presents the carrying amount and fair values of the Company’s assets and liabilities measured on a recurring basis at September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010:

On June 12, 2009, the Company entered into $50.0 million of interest rate swaps which amortize and mature between February 2010 and February 2012 in line with the long-term debt maturity profile. At September 30, 2011 the interest rate swaps have been designated as a cash flow hedge against $25.0 million of underlying floating rate debt obligations, that stood at $75.0 million at September 30, 2011, and qualify for hedge accounting as at September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010.

The carrying amount of long-term debt drawn under the three-year finance facility and the promissory note relating to the NewMarket Corporation civil complaint approximate fair value based on the period of time to maturity.

The commodity swaps are used to manage the Company’s cash flow exposure to raw material cost volatility. They have been designated as cash flow hedges and all the commodity swaps qualify for hedge accounting as at September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010.

The interest rate and commodity hedges were determined to be effective and consequently the net unrealized gain of $0.2 million at September 30, 2011 (2010—net unrealized gain of $0.8 million) has been recorded in other comprehensive income. Ineffectiveness was determined to be immaterial during the nine months ended September 30, 2011, and year ended December 31, 2010, and accordingly no gain or loss was recognized in earnings in either period. Based on the valuations as at September 30, 2011 the Company expects a net unrealized gain of $0.2 million to be reclassified into earnings in the next 12 months.

Foreign currency forward exchange contracts primarily relate to contracts entered into to hedge future known transactions or hedge balance sheet net cash positions. The movements in the carrying amounts and fair values of these contracts are largely due to changes in exchange rates against the U.S. dollar.

NOTE 12—DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS AND RISK MANAGEMENT

The Company has limited involvement with derivative instruments and does not trade them. The Company does use derivatives to manage certain interest rate, foreign currency exchange rate and raw material cost exposures.

The Company uses interest rate swaps, floors, collar and cap agreements to reduce the impact of changes in interest rates on its floating rate debt. The swap agreements are contracts to exchange floating rate for fixed interest payments periodically over the life of the agreements without the exchange of the underlying notional amounts. The notional amounts are used to calculate interest to be paid or received and do not represent the amount of exposure to credit loss.

The Company has determined to hedge a proportion of the outstanding floating rate debt obligation. As at September 30, 2011 the Company had the following interest rate instruments in effect:


(in millions)	Notional Amount		Strike Rate		Expiry Date
Interest rate swap	$	15.0		1.8250%		February 6, 2012
	$	10.0		1.8700%		February 6, 2012

We enter into various foreign currency forward exchange contracts to minimize currency exposure from expected future cash flows. The contracts have maturity dates of up to four years at the date of inception. These foreign currency forward exchange contracts have not been designated as hedging instruments, and their impact on the income statement for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 is summarized below:

The Company sells a range of Fuel Specialties, Active Chemicals and Octane Additives to major oil refineries and chemical companies throughout the world. Credit limits, ongoing credit evaluation and account monitoring procedures are used to minimize bad debt risk. Collateral is not generally required.

NOTE 13—COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Resolution of certain government investigations and other matters

As we have previously disclosed, the Company reached a $40.2 million settlement to resolve all matters in respect of investigations by U.S. and United Kingdom government authorities into certain legacy transactions conducted by the Company and its subsidiaries under the United Nations Oil for Food Program (“OFFP”), the U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (“FCPA”), the U.S. Cuban Assets Control Regulations (“CACR”) and United Kingdom anti-bribery laws. The settlement consists of fines, penalties and disgorgements which are payable over a period of four years commencing 2010. As at September 30, 2011, the expected schedule of payments was as follows:

Settlement of NewMarket Corporation civil complaint

As we have previously disclosed, the Company and its subsidiaries, Alcor Chemie Vertriebs GmbH and Innospec Limited, were the subject of two civil actions brought by NewMarket Corporation and its subsidiary, Afton Chemical Corporation (collectively, “NewMarket”). NewMarket and the Company agreed to settle these actions pursuant to the terms of a settlement agreement between them signed on September 13, 2011 which provided for mutual releases of the parties and dismissal of the actions with prejudice. Under the settlement agreement, the Company will pay NewMarket an aggregate amount of approximately $45.0 million, payable in a combination of cash, a promissory note and stock, of which $25.0 million was paid in cash in September 2011, $15.0 million is payable in three equal annual installments under the promissory note (carrying simple interest at 1% per annum) the first installment of which is due on September 10, 2012, and approximately $5.0 million was paid in the form of 195,313 shares of the Company’s common stock transferred to NewMarket in September 2011.

Other legal matters

While we are involved from time to time in claims and legal proceedings that result from, and are incidental to, the conduct of our business including business and commercial litigation, employee and product liability claims, there are no other material pending legal proceedings to which the Company or any of its subsidiaries is a party, or of which any of their property is subject, although an adverse resolution of an unexpectedly large number of these individual items could in the aggregate have a material adverse effect on results of operations for a particular year or quarter.

Guarantees

The Company and certain of the Company’s consolidated subsidiaries are contingently liable for certain obligations of affiliated companies primarily in the form of guarantees of debt and performance under contracts entered into as a normal business practice. This includes guarantees of non-U.S. excise taxes and customs duties. As at September 30, 2011, such contingent liabilities amounted to $6.3 million.

Under the terms of the guarantee arrangements, generally the Company would be required to perform should the affiliated company fail to fulfill its obligations under the arrangements. In some cases, the guarantee arrangements have recourse provisions that would enable the Company to recover any payments made under the terms of the guarantees from securities held of the guaranteed parties’ assets.

The Company and its affiliates have numerous long-term sales and purchase commitments in their various business activities, which are expected to be fulfilled with no adverse consequences material to the Company.

NOTE 14—RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

In September 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-08, Intangibles – Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Testing Goodwill for Impairment, which amended its guidance on the testing of goodwill impairment to allow an entity the option to first assess qualitative factors to determine whether performing the current two-step process is necessary. Under the new option, the calculation of the reporting unit’s fair value is not required unless as a result of the qualitative assessment, it is more likely than not that the fair value of the reporting unit is less than the unit’s carrying amount. This guidance is effective for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2011, with early adoption permitted. Adoption of this guidance is not expected to have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In June 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-05, Comprehensive Income (Topic 220): Presentation of Comprehensive Income. The objective of ASU 2011-05 is to improve the comparability, consistency, and transparency of financial reporting, to increase the prominence of items reported in other comprehensive income, and to facilitate convergence of U.S. GAAP and International Financial Reporting Standards. To achieve this, the FASB decided to eliminate the option to present components of other comprehensive income as part of the statement of changes in stockholders’ equity. The amendments in ASU 2011-05 require that all non-owner changes in stockholders’ equity be presented either in a single continuous statement of comprehensive income or in two separate but consecutive statements. In the two-statement approach, the first statement should present total net income and its components followed consecutively by a second statement that should present total other comprehensive income, the components of other comprehensive income, and the total of comprehensive income. Finally, current GAAP does not require an entity to present reclassification adjustments on the face of the financial statements from other comprehensive income to net income, which is required by the guidance in ASU 2011-05. For public entities, the amendments are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2011. Early adoption is permitted, because compliance with the amendments is already permitted. The amendments do not require any transition disclosures. The Company is currently evaluating the provisions of this update and will adopt the new disclosure requirements for comprehensive income in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ending December 31, 2011.

ITEM 2

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations for the Three and Nine Months Ended September 30, 2011

This discussion should be read in conjunction with our unaudited interim consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES

Our objective is to clearly present our financial information in a manner that enhances the understanding of our sources of earnings and cash flows together with our financial position. We aim to achieve this by disclosing information required by the SEC together with further information that provides insight into our business.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations discusses Innospec’s consolidated financial statements which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The preparation of these financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Management evaluates on an on-going basis its estimates and judgments. Management bases its estimates and judgments on historical experience and on various other factors that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.

The policies and estimates that the Company considers the most critical in terms of complexity and subjectivity of assessment are those related to contingencies, environmental liabilities, goodwill, intangible assets (net of amortization), pensions, and deferred tax asset valuation allowance and uncertain income tax positions. These policies have been discussed in the Company’s 2010 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Gross margin: the year on year decrease of 4.5 percentage points primarily reflected a higher proportion of sales of lower margin products and the competitive pressure on margins resulting from increased raw material costs.

Operating expenses: the year on year decrease of 1%, or $0.1 million, was achieved despite the 19% sales growth and was primarily due to reduced legal and other professional expenses, offset by the adverse impact of foreign currency exchange rates on our European cost base denominated in European Union euro and British pound sterling.

Gross margin: the year on year increase of 0.4 percentage points reflected the continued improvement across all markets.

Operating expenses: the year on year increase of 18%, or $0.7 million, slightly exceeding the 15% sales growth, was primarily due to increased selling expenses.

Octane Additives

Net sales: increased by 1% with increased volumes (up 8 percentage points) offset by a weaker sales mix (down 3 percentage points) and reduced revenue from our environmental remediation business (down 4 percentage points). In both 2011 and 2010, sales were focused in the Middle East and Northern Africa.

Gross margin: the year on year increase of 2.3 percentage points reflected the lower unit cost of inventories sold in the current quarter.

Operating expenses: excluding the impact of the $45.0 million NewMarket Corporation civil complaint settlement, the year on year increase was $0.1 million, or 3%, primarily due to higher legal and other professional expenses.

Other Income Statement Captions

Pension charge: this non-cash charge decreased by $2.4 million to $0.1 million reflecting the reduction in the pension liability.

Corporate costs: were $6.3 million, compared with $5.4 million a year ago. The increase was primarily due to $3.0 million of acquisition-related costs, offset by reduced accruals for share based compensation expense driven by movements in our share price.

Impairment of Octane Additives segment goodwill: was $0.6 million in both 2011 and 2010.

Other net (expense)/income: other net expense of $4.3 million primarily related to net losses on translation of net assets denominated in non-functional currencies in our European businesses. In 2010, other net income of $11.6 million related to net foreign exchange gains on foreign currency forward exchange contracts and translation of net assets denominated in non-functional currencies in our European businesses.

Interest expense (net): the net interest expense, including amortization of deferred finance costs, has decreased from $1.2 million to $0.7 million due to the lower level of debt in 2011 and the deferred finance costs becoming fully amortized in the third quarter of 2011.

Income taxes: the effective tax rate was 33.3% and 4.2%, in 2011 and 2010, respectively. Once adjusted for the NewMarket Corporation civil complaint settlement and for the adjustments of income tax provisions, the effective tax rate was 21.2% compared to 19.8% in 2010. The increase of 1.4 percentage points was primarily due to the third quarter of 2010 benefiting to a greater extent from the positive impact of taxable profits in different geographical locations. There was also a $2.5 million (2010 – $1.1 million) net deferred tax credit in the third quarter of 2011, primarily in respect of pension plan unrecognized actuarial net losses, following the United Kingdom’s 1% reduction in the corporation tax rate in April 2011 and the further reduction of 1% from April 2012, both enacted in July 2011.

Gross margin: the year on year decrease of 4.3 percentage points primarily reflected a higher proportion of sales of lower margin products and the competitive pressure on margins resulting from increased raw material costs.

Operating expenses: the year on year increase of 4%, or $2.2 million, was less than the 14% growth in sales but this was primarily due to the release of an accrual in respect of an old customer claim in the first quarter of 2011. The increase in operating expenses was due to higher licensing costs and the adverse impact of foreign currency exchange rates on our European cost base denominated in European Union euro and British pound sterling.

Gross margin: the year on year increase of 3.8 percentage points reflects the continued improvement across all markets, especially our Polymers business, despite the competitive pressures on margins resulting from increased raw material costs.

Operating expenses: the year on year increase of 8%, or $1.0 million, was less than the 22% growth in sales as we continued to leverage the infrastructure of this business.

Octane Additives

Net sales: decreased by 5% with reduced volumes (down 5 percentage points) and reduced revenue from our environmental remediation business (down 2 percentage points) offset by an improved sales mix (up 2 percentage points). In both 2011 and 2010, sales were focused in the Middle East and Northern Africa.

Gross margin: increased marginally by 0.9 percentage points from 47.1% to 48.0%.

Operating expenses: excluding the impacts of the $45.0 million NewMarket Corporation civil complaint settlement in 2011 and the $3.0 million adjustment to the settlement accrual related to OFFP and FCPA investigations in 2010, the year on year increase was $3.6 million, or 50%, primarily due to higher legal and other professional expenses.

Other Income Statement Captions

Pension charge: this non-cash charge decreased by $8.1 million to $0.3 million reflecting the reduction in the pension liability and the near elimination of the service cost since the Company closed the pension plan to future service accrual with effect from March 31, 2010.

Corporate costs: were $20.3 million, compared with $19.2 million a year ago. Excluding acquisition-related costs of $3.0 million in 2011 and a $3.9 million charge for the expected cost of the Company’s external compliance monitor in 2010, the year on year increase of $2.0 million primarily reflected higher accruals for share based compensation expense, driven by the substantial year on year rise in our share price.

Restructuring charge: the Company closed its defined benefit pension plan to future service accrual with effect from March 31, 2010 and accordingly we recorded a non-cash curtailment loss of $8.2 million in the first quarter of 2010. A charge of $0.3 million was recognized in the second quarter of 2010 which related to a reduction in EMEA headcount.

Impairment of Octane Additives segment goodwill: was $1.7 million in both 2011 and 2010.

Other net income: of $8.9 million was composed of $9.1 million of gains on translation of net assets denominated in non-functional currencies in our European businesses and $0.2 million sundry other expenses. In 2010, other net income of $0.7 million related to $0.6 million of gains on foreign currency forward exchange contracts and other income of $0.1 million.

Interest expense (net): the net interest expense, including amortization of deferred finance costs, has decreased from $3.5 million to $2.4 million due to the lower level of debt in 2011 and the deferred finance costs becoming fully amortized in the third quarter of 2011.

Income taxes: the effective tax rate was 10.1% and 8.9%, in 2011 and 2010, respectively. Once adjusted for the NewMarket Corporation civil complaint settlement and for the adjustments of uncertain income tax positions, the effective tax rate was 20.4% compared to 23.2% in 2010. The decrease of 2.8 percentage points was primarily due to the third quarter of 2011 benefiting to a greater extent from the positive impact of a $2.5 million (2010 – $1.1 million) net deferred tax credit, primarily in respect of pension plan unrecognized actuarial net losses, following the United Kingdom’s 1% reduction in the corporation tax rate in April 2011 and the further reduction of 1% from April 2012, both enacted in July 2011.

Adjusted working capital	$	99.2		$	79.0

In the first nine months of 2011 adjusted working capital increased by $20.2 million (defined by the Company as trade and other accounts receivable, inventories, prepaid expenses, accounts payable and the current portion of accrued liabilities rather than total current assets less total current liabilities). The $8.0 million increase in trade and other accounts receivable was primarily due to increased trading. The $15.4 million increase in inventories was focused in our Active Chemicals and Fuel Specialties segments following the decision to build certain product inventories of strategic importance, offset by reductions in Octane Additives due to the timing of shipments. The $4.1 million increase in accounts payable and the current portion of accrued liabilities primarily reflected higher personnel-related compensation accruals.

Cash

At September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010 we had cash and cash equivalents of $132.1 million and $107.1 million, respectively, of which $130.1 million and $104.9 million, respectively, was held by non-U.S. subsidiaries principally in the United Kingdom. The Company is in a position to control whether or not to repatriate foreign earnings but does not need, or expect, to do so in the foreseeable future and hence has not provided for future income taxes on the cash held by foreign subsidiaries although we will continue to monitor this position.

Short-term investments

At September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010 we had short-term investments of $4.8 million and $4.2 million, respectively.

Debt

The facility contains a number of restrictions that limit our ability, amongst other things, and subject to certain limited exceptions, to incur additional indebtedness, pledge our assets as security, guarantee obligations of third parties, make investments, undergo a merger or consolidation, dispose of assets, or materially change our line of business.

In addition, the facility also contains terms which, if breached, would result in the loan becoming repayable on demand. It requires, among other matters, compliance with two financial covenant ratios measured on a quarterly basis. These requirements are (1) the ratio of net debt to EBITDA shall not be greater than 2.5:1 and (2) the ratio of EBITDA to net interest shall not be less than 4.0:1. EBITDA is a non-GAAP measure of liquidity defined in the finance facility. Management believes that the Company has not breached these covenants throughout the period to September 30, 2011 and expects to not breach these covenants for the remaining term of the facility. The finance facility is secured by a number of fixed and floating charges over certain assets of the Company and its subsidiaries.

As at September 30, 2011, the Company had $75.0 million of debt outstanding under its finance facility and was in compliance with all financial covenants therein.

ITEM 3

Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

The Company operates manufacturing and blending facilities, offices and laboratories around the world. The Company sells a range of Fuel Specialties, Active Chemicals and Octane Additives to customers around the world. The Company uses floating rate debt to finance these global operations. Consequently, the Company is subject to business risks inherent in non-U.S. activities, including political and economic uncertainty, import and export limitations, and market risk related to changes in interest rates and foreign currency exchange rates. The political and economic risks are mitigated by the stability of the countries in which the Company’s largest operations are located. Credit limits, ongoing credit evaluation and account monitoring procedures are used to minimize bad debt risk. Collateral is not generally required.

The Company uses derivatives, including interest rate swaps, commodity swaps and foreign currency forward exchange contracts, in the normal course of business to manage market risks. The derivatives used in hedging activities are considered risk management tools and are not used for trading purposes. In addition, the Company enters into derivative instruments with a diversified group of major financial institutions in order to manage the exposure to non-performance of such instruments. The Company’s objective in managing exposure to changes in interest rates is to limit the impact of such changes on earnings and cash flows and to lower overall borrowing costs. The Company’s objective in managing the exposure to changes in foreign currency exchange rates is to reduce volatility on earnings and cash flows associated with such changes.

The Company offers fixed prices for some long-term sales contracts. As manufacturing and raw materials costs are subject to variability the Company uses commodity swaps to hedge the cost of some raw materials thus reducing volatility on earnings and cash flows. The derivatives are considered risk management tools and are not used for trading purposes. The Company’s objective is to manage its exposure to fluctuating costs of raw materials.

The Company’s exposure to market risk has been discussed in the Company’s 2010 Annual Report on Form 10-K and there have been no significant changes since that time.

Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

As of the end of the period covered by this report the Company carried out an evaluation under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company’s “disclosure controls and procedures” (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended).

Based upon this evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of September 30, 2011.

Changes in Internal Controls over Financial Reporting

The Company is continuously seeking to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of its operations and of its internal controls. This results in refinements to processes throughout the Company. However, there has been no change in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting during the most recent fiscal quarter that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.
