        The decrease in Advances for long-term purchase contracts is the result of amortizing the prepayments usage over the terms of the related contracts. The amortization of these costs is reflected as other non-cash items in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated statement of cash flows.

7. GOODWILL AND OTHER INTANGIBLE ASSETS

        In February 2011 we acquired Exterior Portfolio which is now part of our building products segment. We have performed preliminary estimates of the fair market value of the acquired assets and liabilities and a related allocation of the net purchase price to goodwill and other intangible assets as follows: $24.1 million customer relationships, $6.0 million technology, $4.3 million trade names and the residual $2.9 million was attributed to goodwill. These allocations are preliminary and are subject to, among other things, the final valuation of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed and may be adjusted within twelve months of the closing date of this acquisition.

        Goodwill.    The following table provides the detail of the changes made to goodwill by reportable segment during the six months ended and as of June 30, 2011 and as of December 31, 2010.

7. GOODWILL AND OTHER INTANGIBLE ASSETS (Continued)

        Indefinite lived intangible assets.    At June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010 our indefinite-lived assets consisted of trade names. The following table provides the indefinite-lived intangible assets by reporting segment as of June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010.

        Finite-lived intangible assets.    At June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, we also had customer relationship and technology intangible assets that relate to our building products segment. As noted above, an additional $24.1 million was attributed to customer relationships and $6.0 million to technology and those amounts are included in the June 30, 2011 building products segment balances relating to the preliminary allocation from the Exterior Portfolio acquisition.

7. GOODWILL AND OTHER INTANGIBLE ASSETS (Continued)

        The weighted average estimated useful life for the customer relationships is approximately 16 years. Technology has a weighted average estimated useful life of approximately 7 years. Amortization expense for the finite-lived intangible assets was $0.8 million and $0.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2011 and June 30, 2010, respectively. For the six months ended June 30, 2011 and June 30, 2010, the amortization expense was $1.4 million and $0.5 million, respectively. Total finite-lived intangible assets estimated annual amortization expense for the next five fiscal years is approximately $3.3 million per year.

8. LONG-TERM DEBT

        Long-term debt consisted of the following:

8. LONG-TERM DEBT (Continued)

        The senior secured asset-based revolving credit facility (the "ABL Revolver") provides for a maximum of $300 million of revolving credit through January 2016, subject to borrowing base availability, including sub-limits for letters of credit and swing line loans. The borrowing base is equal to specified percentages of our eligible accounts receivable and inventories, less other reserves reasonably determined by the co-collateral agents. The borrowings under the ABL Revolver are generally secured by substantially all of our assets.

        On January 14, 2011, we entered into an amendment to the ABL Revolver. The amendment extended the maturity date of the ABL Revolver by two years to January 13, 2016, eliminated the $15 million availability block, reduced the unused commitment fees, reduced the applicable margins for borrowings under the ABL Revolver and amended the average excess availability amounts to which those margins apply.

        The weighted average interest rate on borrowings under the ABL Revolver was 4.2 percent and 5.1 percent as of June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, respectively. In addition to paying interest on outstanding principal under the ABL Revolver, we are required to pay a commitment fee in respect of the unutilized commitments and we must also pay customary letter of credit fees equal to the applicable margin on London Interbank Offered Rate ("LIBOR") loans and agency fees.

        The ABL Revolver requires that if excess availability is less than $45 million, we must maintain a minimum fixed charge coverage ratio of 1.10 to 1.00. At June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010 excess availability was $173.2 million and $264.8 million, respectively. In addition, the ABL Revolver includes affirmative and negative covenants that, subject to significant exceptions, limit our ability and the ability of our subsidiaries to, among other things: incur, assume or permit to exist additional indebtedness or guarantees; incur liens; make investments and loans; pay dividends, make payments or redeem or repurchase capital stock; engage in mergers, acquisitions and asset sales; prepay, redeem or purchase certain indebtedness; amend or otherwise alter terms of certain indebtedness; engage in certain transactions with affiliates; and alter the business that we conduct.

        If at any time the aggregate amount of outstanding loans, unreimbursed letter of credit drawings and undrawn letters of credit under the ABL Revolver exceeds the lesser of (i) the commitment amount and (ii) the borrowing base, we will be required to repay outstanding loans and cash collateralize letters of credit in an aggregate amount equal to such excess, with no reduction of the commitment amount. If the amount available under the ABL Revolver is less than $60.0 million for a period of three consecutive business days or certain events of default have occurred, we will be required to deposit cash from our material deposit accounts (including all concentration accounts) daily in a collection account maintained with the administrative agent under the ABL Revolver, which will be used to repay outstanding loans and cash collateralize letters of credit.

        At June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, we had $110.6 million and nil in outstanding principal borrowed under the ABL Revolver and had outstanding letters of credit totaling $16.2 million and $20.2 million, respectively. On April 4, 2011, we redeemed all of our 7.125% Senior Notes due 2013 and 9.5% Senior Notes due 2014 that remained outstanding for the aggregate principal amount of $22.2 million. In connection with the redemption of these notes, we incurred a $1.1 million loss during the three months ended June 30, 2011 comprised of fees and unamortized discounts. In addition, our other note payable of $16.9 million is due in January 2012, and over the next twelve months, we expect to repay approximately $20.6 million of borrowings under our ABL Revolver. Therefore, we have classified these debts as current in our consolidated balance sheet as of June 30, 2011.

8. LONG-TERM DEBT (Continued)

        On December 22, 2009, we issued $500.0 million principal amount of 9.0 percent senior secured notes that are due in 2017. Interest on these notes is payable January 15 and July 15 of each year. On or after January 15, 2014, we may redeem the notes in whole or in part, initially at 104.5 percent of their principal amount, and thereafter at prices declining annually to 100.0 percent on or after January 15, 2016. During any twelve-month period prior to January 15, 2014 we may make optional redemptions of up to 10 percent of the aggregate principal amount of the 9.0 percent senior secured notes at a redemption price of 103.0 percent of such principal amount plus any accrued and unpaid interest. In addition, prior to January 15, 2013, we may redeem up to 35 percent of the aggregate principal amount of the 9.0 percent senior secured notes at a redemption price equal to 109.0 percent of such principal amount, plus any accrued and unpaid interest. In addition, we may redeem some or all of the 9.0 percent senior secured notes at any time prior to January 15, 2014 at a price equal to the principal amount thereof plus a make-whole premium and any accrued and unpaid interest. The 9.0 percent senior secured notes are generally secured by substantially all of our assets, and contain certain restrictive covenants including restrictions on debt incurrence, granting of liens, dividends, acquisitions and investments.

        Lease Financing Obligation.    The lease financing obligation is the result of the sale and concurrent leaseback of certain land and buildings in Canada in 2007. In connection with this transaction, a collateralized letter of credit was issued in favor of the buyer lessor resulting in the transaction being recorded as a financing transaction rather than a sale, and the land and building and related accounts continue to be recognized in the condensed consolidated balance sheets. The future minimum lease payments under the terms of the related lease agreements at June 30, 2011 are $3.9 million, $7.7 million in 2012, $8.0 million in 2013, $8.1 million in 2014, $8.4 million in 2015, and $10.5 million thereafter. The change in the future minimum lease payments from the December 31, 2010 balance is due to monthly payments and the change in the Canadian dollar exchange rate during the six months ended June 30, 2011.

9. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

        Legal Proceedings.    In August 2004 and January and February 2005, the United States Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA) conducted environmental investigations of our manufacturing facilities in Aberdeen, Mississippi and Plaquemine, Louisiana, respectively. The USEPA informed us that it identified several "areas of concern," and indicated that such areas of concern may, in its view, constitute violations of applicable requirements, thus warranting monetary penalties and possible injunctive relief. In lieu of pursuing such relief through its traditional enforcement process, the USEPA proposed that the parties enter into negotiations in an effort to reach a global settlement of the areas of concern and that such a global settlement cover our manufacturing facilities at Lake Charles, Louisiana and Oklahoma City, Oklahoma as well. During the second quarter of 2006, we were informed by the USEPA that its regional office responsible for Oklahoma and Louisiana desired to pursue resolution of these matters on a separate track from the regional office responsible for Mississippi. During the second quarter of 2007, we reached agreement with the USEPA responsible for Mississippi on the terms and conditions of a consent decree that would settle USEPA's pending enforcement action against our Aberdeen, Mississippi facility. All parties have executed a consent decree setting forth the terms and conditions of the settlement. The consent decree has been approved by the federal district court in Atlanta, Georgia. Under the consent decree, we were required to, among other things; undertake certain other environmental improvement projects. While the cost of

such remaining projects will likely exceed $1 million, we do not believe that these projects will have a material effect on our financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.

        We have not yet achieved a settlement with the USEPA regional office responsible for Oklahoma and Louisiana. However, on November 17, 2009, we received a unilateral administrative order (UAO) from this USEPA regional office. The UAO, issued pursuant to Section 3013(a) of the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act ("RCRA"), requires us to take certain monitoring and assessment activities in and around several of our wastewater and storm water conveyance systems.

        We have also received several compliance orders and notices of potential penalties from the Louisiana Department of Environmental Quality (LDEQ). On December 17, 2009, we received a Notice of Potential Penalty (NOPP) from LDEQ containing allegations of violations of Louisiana's hazardous waste management regulations. On October 7, 2010, we received a Consolidated Compliance Order (CCO) from LDEQ addressing the same allegations as were contained in the December 17, 2009 NOPP. On October 1, 2010, we received Consolidated Compliance Orders and Notices of Potential Penalties (CCONPPs) for both the Plaquemine, and Lake Charles, Louisiana facilities. These CCONPPs allege violations of reporting, recordkeeping, and other requirements contained in Louisiana's air pollution control regulations.

        Some of the allegations contained in these compliance orders and notices of potential penalties may potentially be similar to the "areas of concern" raised by USEPA that are discussed above. These compliance orders and notices of potential penalties do not identify specific penalty amounts. It is likely that any settlement, if achieved, will result in the imposition of monetary penalties, capital expenditures for installation of environmental controls and/or other relief. We are not able to forecast the total cost of any monetary penalties, environmental projects, or other relief that would be imposed in any settlement or order. While we expect that such costs will exceed $100,000, we do not expect that such costs will have a material effect on our financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.

        In addition, we are subject to other claims and legal actions that may arise in the ordinary course of business. We believe that the ultimate liability, if any, with respect to these other known claims and legal actions will not have a material effect on our financial position or on our results of operations.

        Environmental Regulation.    Our operations are subject to increasingly stringent federal, state and local laws and regulations relating to environmental quality. These regulations, which are enforced principally by the USEPA and comparable state agencies and Canadian federal and provincial agencies, govern the management of solid hazardous waste, emissions into the air and discharges into surface and underground waters, and the manufacture of chemical substances. In addition to the matters involving environmental regulation above, we have the following potential environmental issues.

        In the first quarter of 2007, the USEPA informed us of possible noncompliance at our Aberdeen, Mississippi facility with certain provisions of the Toxic Substances Control Act. Subsequently, we discovered possible non-compliance involving our Plaquemine, Louisiana and Pasadena, Texas facilities, which were then disclosed. We expect that all of these disclosures will be resolved in one settlement agreement with USEPA. While the penalties, if any, for such noncompliance may exceed $100,000, we do not expect that any penalties will have a material effect on our financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.

        There are several serious environmental issues concerning the VCM facility at Lake Charles, Louisiana we acquired from CONDEA Vista Company ("CONDEA Vista" is now Sasol North America, Inc.) on November 12, 1999. Substantial investigation of the groundwater at the site has been conducted, and groundwater contamination was first identified in 1981. Groundwater remediation through the installation of groundwater recovery wells began in 1984. The site currently contains an extensive network of monitoring wells and recovery wells. Investigation to determine the full extent of the contamination is ongoing. It is possible that offsite groundwater recovery will be required, in addition to groundwater monitoring. Soil remediation could also be required.

        Investigations are currently underway by federal environmental authorities concerning contamination of an estuary near the Lake Charles VCM facility we acquired known as the Calcasieu Estuary. It is likely that this estuary will be listed as a Superfund site and will be the subject of a natural resource damage recovery claim. It is estimated that there are about 200 Potentially Responsible Parties (PRPs) associated with the estuary contamination. CONDEA Vista is included among these parties with respect to its Lake Charles facilities, including the VCM facility we acquired. The estimated cost for investigation and remediation of the estuary is unknown and could be significant. Also, Superfund statutes may impose joint and several liabilities for the cost of investigations and remedial actions on any company that generated the waste, arranged for disposal of the waste, transported the waste to the disposal site, selected the disposal site, or presently or formerly owned, leased or operated the disposal site or a site otherwise contaminated by hazardous substances. Any or all of the responsible parties may be required to bear all of the costs of cleanup regardless of fault, legality of the original disposal or ownership of the disposal site. Currently, we discharge our wastewater to CONDEA Vista, which has a permit to discharge treated wastewater into the estuary.

        CONDEA Vista has agreed to retain responsibility for substantially all environmental liabilities and remediation activity relating to the Chlorovinyls business we acquired from it, including the Lake Charles, Louisiana VCM facility. For all matters of environmental contamination that were known at the time of acquisition (November 1999), we may make a claim for indemnification at any time. For environmental matters that were then unknown, we must generally have made such claims for indemnification before November 12, 2009. No such material claims were made.

        At our Lake Charles VCM facility, CONDEA Vista continued to conduct the ongoing remediation at its expense until November 12, 2009. We are now responsible for remediation costs up to about $150,000 of expense per year, as well as costs in any year in excess of this annual amount up to an aggregate one-time amount of about $2.3 million. As part of our ongoing assessment of our environmental contingencies, we determined these remediation costs to be probable and estimable and therefore maintained a $0.7 million accrual in liabilities at June 30, 2011.

        As for employee and independent contractor exposure claims, CONDEA Vista is responsible for exposures before November 12, 2009, and we are responsible for exposures after November 12, 2009, on a pro rata basis determined by years of employment or service before and after November 12, 1999, by any claimant.

        In May 2008, our corporate management was informed that further efforts to remediate a spill of styrene reducer at our Royal Mouldings facility in Atkins, Virginia would be necessary. The spill was the result of a supply line rupture from an external holding tank. As a result of this spill, the facility entered into a voluntary remediation agreement with the Virginia Department of Environmental Quality ("VDEQ") in August 2003 and began implementing the terms of the voluntary agreement

shortly thereafter. In August 2007, the facility submitted a report on the progress of the remediation to the VDEQ. Subsequently, the VDEQ responded by indicating that continued remediation of the area impacted by the spill is required. While the remaining remediation costs may exceed $100,000, we do not expect such costs will have a material effect on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

        We believe that we are in material compliance with all current environmental laws and regulations. We estimate that any expenses incurred in maintaining compliance with these requirements will not materially affect earnings or cause us to exceed our level of anticipated capital expenditures. However, there can be no assurance that regulatory requirements will not change, and it is not possible to accurately predict the aggregate cost of compliance resulting from any such changes.

10. EARNINGS PER SHARE

        We calculate earnings per share in accordance with ASC subtopic 260-10, Earnings per Share, using the two-class method. The two-class method requires that share-based awards with non-forfeitable dividends be classified as participating securities. In calculating basic earnings per share, this method requires net income to be reduced by the amount of dividends declared in the current period for each participating security and by the contractual amount of dividends or other participation payments that are paid or accumulated for the current period. Undistributed earnings for the period are allocated to participating securities based on the contractual participation rights of the security to share in those current earnings assuming all earnings for the period are distributed. Recipients of certain of our restricted stock unit awards have contractual participation rights that are equivalent to those of common stockholders. Therefore, we allocate undistributed earnings to these restricted stock unit participating securities and common stock based on their respective participation percentage.

        The two-class method also requires the denominator to include the weighted average number of shares of restricted stock unit participating securities when calculating basic earnings per share. For both the three and six months ended June 30, 2011, there are 0.9 million weighted average restricted stock unit participating securities. For both the three and six months ended June 30, 2010, there are 1.2 million weighted average restricted stock unit participating securities. Diluted earnings per share also include the additional share equivalents from the assumed conversion of stock based awards including options and certain restricted stock units. Conversion of the options is calculated using the treasury stock method, subject to the anti-dilution provisions of ASC subtopic 260-10.

        In computing diluted earnings per share for the three and six months ended June 30, 2011, common stock equivalents of 0.2 million shares and 0.2 million shares, respectively, were not included due to their anti-dilutive effect. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2010, all common stock equivalents were excluded due to their anti-dilutive effect.
