NOTES TO CONDENSED FINANCIAL INFORMATION

December 31, 2011

Note 1—Basis of presentation:

We have prepared the accompanying Financial Statements on a "Parent Company" basis. This means that our investments in the common stock or membership interest of our majority and wholly-owned subsidiaries, including NL Industries, Inc., Kronos Worldwide, Inc., Tremont LLC, Medite Corporation and Waste Control Specialists LLC, are presented on the equity method of accounting. Our Consolidated Financial Statements and the Notes thereto, which include the financial position, results of operations and cash flows of these subsidiaries, are incorporated by reference into these Parent Company Financial Statements.

In November 2010, Kronos completed a secondary public offering of 17.94 million shares of its common stock in an underwritten offering for net proceeds of $337.6 million. The price to the public was $20.00 per share, and the underwriting discount was 5.75% (or $1.15 per share). Costs of the offering (exclusive of the underwriting discount) were approximately $.7 million. The shares of Kronos common stock issued in the secondary offering are identical to the previously issued outstanding shares in all respects, including par value, liquidation and dividend preference. All shares were sold to third-party investors. Upon completion of the offering, our aggregate ownership of Kronos was reduced to 80% (50% held directly by us and 30% held directly by NL). Under the provisions of ASC Topic 810, changes in parent control that do not lead to deconsolidation are considered equity transactions recognized through APIC and noncontrolling interest, accordingly no gain or loss was recognized on this transaction. In May 2011, Kronos implemented a 2-for-1 split of its common stock. We have adjusted all share and per-share disclosures related to our investment in Kronos for all periods presented to give effect to the stock split. The stock split had no financial statement impact to us, and our ownership interest in Kronos did not change as a result of the split. See Note 3 to our Consolidated Financial Statements.

 

We have an unsecured revolving demand promissory note with NL whereby, as amended, we agreed to loan NL up to $40 million. Our loan to NL bears interest at prime plus 2.75% (6.0% at December 31, 2011), payable quarterly, with all principal due on demand, but in any event no earlier than December 31, 2013. The amount of our outstanding loans to NL at any time is at our discretion. NL paid $.2 million and $.3 million in interest to us in 2010 and 2011, respectively. All such intercompany interest income is eliminated in the Consolidated Financial Statements. As of December 31, 2010 and 2011, we had loans outstanding to NL of $11.3 million and $4.1 million, respectively, which loans are also eliminated in the Consolidated Financial Statements.

Note 3—Notes receivable from affiliates:

From time to time, we will have loans and advances outstanding between us and various related parties pursuant to term and demand notes. We generally enter into these loans and advances for cash management purposes. When we loan funds to related parties, we are generally able to earn a higher rate of return on the loan than we would earn if we invested the funds in other instruments, and when we borrow from related parties, we are generally able to pay a lower rate of interest than we would pay if we had incurred third-party indebtedness. While certain of these loans to affiliates may be of a lesser credit quality than cash equivalent instruments otherwise available to us, we believe we have considered the credit risks in the terms of the applicable loans. In this regard, in December 2011, we entered into an unsecured revolving demand promissory note with Contran whereby we agreed to loan Contran up to $30 million. Our loan to Contran bears interest at prime plus 3.0% (6.25% at December 31, 2011), payable quarterly, with all principal due on demand, but in any event no earlier than December 31, 2013. The amount of our outstanding loans to Contran at any time is at our discretion. As of December 31, 2011, we had loans outstanding to Contran of $11.2 million, and interest income on our loan to Contran was $36,000 in 2011.

Our $250 million in loans from Snake River Sugar Company are collateralized by our interest in The Amalgamated Sugar Company LLC. The loans bear interest at a weighted average fixed interest rate of 9.4% and are due in January 2027. At December 31, 2011, $37.5 million of the loans are recourse to us and the remaining $212.5 million is nonrecourse to us. Under certain conditions, Snake River has the ability to accelerate the maturity of these loans. See Note 4 to our Consolidated Financial Statements

We have an unsecured revolving credit facility with Kronos which, as amended, provides for borrowings from Kronos of up to $225 million. The facility bears interest at prime plus 1.0% (4.25% at December 31, 2011), and is due on demand, but in any event no earlier than December 31, 2013. Interest expense on our borrowings from Kronos were $.5 million and $3.7 million in 2010 and 2011, respectively. All such intercompany interest is eliminated in our Consolidated Financial Statements. As of December 31, 2010 and 2011, we had loans outstanding from Kronos of $61.9 million and $136.1 million, respectively, which loans are also eliminated in the Consolidated Financial Statements. At December 31, 2011 $88.9 million was available for borrowings under the facility.

We also have an unsecured revolving credit facility with Contran which provides for borrowings from Contran of up to $100 million. The facility, as amended, bears interest at prime rate plus 1%, and is due on demand, but in any event no earlier than December 31, 2013. Valhi pays an unused commitment fee quarterly to Contran on the available balance. At December 31, 2011, no amounts were outstanding under the Contran credit facility and $100 million was available for borrowings.

 

Note 5—Income taxes:

The Amalgamated Sugar Company LLC is treated as a partnership for federal income tax purposes. Valhi Parent Company's provision for income taxes (benefit) includes a tax benefit attributable to Valhi's equity in losses of Waste Control Specialists, as recognition of such income tax benefit is not appropriate at the Waste Control Specialist level.
