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 17, 2012.

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.

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 totaling 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. Income of $1.9 million, relating to initial shipments of 1,500 tonnes, has been deferred until the MOO take delivery of the free product.
