text-indent: 4%; margin-bottom: 0px;"font style="font-family: Times New Roman;" class="_mt" size="2"Cabot derives the substantial majority of its revenues from the sale of products in the Core and Performance Segments. Revenue from these products is typically recognized when the product is shipped and title and risk of loss have passed to the customer. The Company offers certain of its customers cash discounts and volume rebates as sales incentives. The discounts and volume rebates are recorded as a reduction in sales at the time revenue is recognized and are estimated based on historical experience and contractual obligations. Cabot periodically reviews the assumptions underlying its estimates of discounts and volume rebates and adjusts its revenues accordingly. Certain Rubber Blacks Business and Performance Segment customer contracts contain price protection clauses that provide for the potential reduction in past or future sales prices under specific circumstance s. Cabot analyzes these contract provisions to determine if an obligation related to these clauses exists and records revenue net of any estimated protection commitments. /font/p p style="margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px;"font class="_mt" size="1" /fontnbsp;/p p style="margin-top: 0px; text-indent: 4%; margin-bottom: 0px;"font style="font-family: Times New Roman;" class="_mt" size="2"The majority of the revenue in the Specialty Fluids Segment arises from the rental of cesium formate. This revenue is recognized throughout the rental period based on the contracted rental terms. Customers are also billed and revenue is recognized, typically at the end of the job, for cesium formate product that is not returned. /font/p p style="margin-top: 12px; text-indent: 4%; margin-bottom: 0px;"font style="font-family: Times New Roman;" class="_mt" size="2"Cabot maintains allowances for doubtful accounts based on an assessment of the collectibility of specific customer accounts, the aging of accounts receivable and other economic information on both an historical and prospective basis. Customer account balances are charged against the allowance when it is probable the receivable will not be recovered. Changes in the allowance during the first nine months of fiscal 2010 and 2009 were not material. There is no off-balance sheet credit exposure related to customer receivable balances. /font/p p style="margin-top: 18px; margin-bottom: 0px;"font style="font-family: Times New Roman;" class="_mt" size="2"biGoodwill and Long-Lived Assets /i/b/font/p p style="margin-top: 6px; text-indent: 4%; margin-bottom: 0px;"font style="font-family: Times New Roman;" class="_mt" size="2"Goodwill is comprised of the cost of business acquisitions in excess of the fair value assigned to the net tangible and identifiable intangible assets acquired. Goodwill is not amortized but is reviewed for impairment at least annually. The annual review consists of the comparison of each reporting unit's carrying value to its fair value, which is performed as of Marchnbsp;31. Certain circumstances may give rise to an impairment assessment at a date other than the annual assessment date. /font/p p style="margin-top: 12px; text-indent: 4%; margin-bottom: 0px;"font style="font-family: Times New Roman;" class="_mt" size="2"The fair value of a reporting unit is based on discounted estimated future cash flows. The assumptions used to estimate fair value include management's best estimates of future growth rates, operating cash flows, capital expenditures, discount rates and market conditions over an estimate of the remaining operating period. If an impairment exists, a loss is recorded to write-down the value of goodwill to its implied fair value. /font/p p style="margin-top: 12px; text-indent: 4%; margin-bottom: 0px;"font style="font-family: Times New Roman;" class="_mt" size="2"Cabot's long-lived assets primarily include property, plant, equipment, long-term investments and assets held for rent. The Company reviews the carrying values of long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in business circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. /font/p p style="margin-top: 18px; margin-bottom: 0px;"font style="font-family: Times New Roman;" class="_mt" size="2"biFinancial Instruments /i/b/font/p p style="margin-top: 6px; text-indent: 4%; margin-bottom: 0px;"font style="font-family: Times New Roman;" class="_mt" size="2"Cabot's financial instruments consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents, short-term and long-term debt, and derivative instruments. The carrying values of Cabot's financial instruments approximate fair value with the exception of long-term debt that has not been designated as part of a fair value hedge. The non-hedged long-term debt is recorded at face value.nbsp;The fair values of the Company's derivative instruments are based on quoted market prices, if such prices are available. In situations where quoted market prices are not available, the Company relies on valuation models to derive fair value. Such valuation takes into account the ability of the financial counterparty to perform. Cabot uses derivative financial instruments primarily for purposes of hedging exposures to fluctuations in interest rates and foreign currency exchange rates, which exist as p art of its on-going business operations. Cabot does not enter into contracts for speculative purposes, nor does it hold or issue any financial instruments for trading purposes. All derivatives are recognized on the consolidated balance sheets at fair value. The changes in the fair value of derivatives are recorded in either earnings or other comprehensive income, depending on whether or not the instrument is designated as part of a hedge transaction and, if designated as part of a hedge transaction, the type of hedge transaction. The gains or losses on derivative instruments reported in other comprehensive income are reclassified to earnings in the period in which earnings are affected by the underlying hedged item. The ineffective portion of all hedges is recognized in earnings during the period in which the ineffectiveness occurs. /font/p p style="margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px;"font class="_mt" size="1" /fontnbsp;/p p style="margin-top: 12px; text-indent: 4%; margin-bottom: 0px;"font style="font-family: Times New Roman;" class="_mt" size="2"In accordance with Cabot's risk management strategy, the Company may enter into certain derivative instruments that may not be designated as hedges for hedge accounting purposes. Although these derivatives are not designated as hedges, the Company believes that such instruments are closely correlated with the underlying exposure, thus managing the associated risk. The Company records in earnings the gains or losses from changes in the fair value of derivative instruments that are not designated as hedges. /font/p p style="margin-top: 18px; margin-bottom: 0px;"font style="font-family: Times New Roman;" class="_mt" size="2"biIncome Tax in Interim Periods /i/b/font/p p style="margin-top: 6px; text-indent: 4%; margin-bottom: 0px;"font style="font-family: Times New Roman;" class="_mt" size="2"The Company records its tax provision or benefit on an interim basis using an estimated annual effective tax rate. This rate is applied to the current period ordinary income or loss to determine the income tax provision or benefit allocated to the interim period. Losses from jurisdictions for which no benefit can be recognized and the income tax effects of unusual and infrequent items are excluded from the estimated annual effective tax rate and are recognized in the impacted interim period as discrete items. Valuation allowances are provided against the future tax benefits that arise from the losses in jurisdictions for which no benefit can be recognized. The estimated annual effective tax rate may be significantly impacted by nondeductible expenses and the Company's projected earnings mix by tax jurisdiction. Adjustments to the estimated annual effective income tax r ate are recognized in the period when such estimates are revised. /font/p p style="margin-top: 18px; margin-bottom: 0px;"font style="font-family: Times New Roman;" class="_mt" size="2"biInventory Valuation /i/b/font/p p style="margin-top: 6px; text-indent: 4%; margin-bottom: 0px;"font style="font-family: Times New Roman;" class="_mt" size="2"The cost of most raw materials, work in process and finished goods inventories in the U.S. is determined by the last-in, first-out ("LIFO") method. Had the Company used the first-in, first-out ("FIFO") method instead of the LIFO method for such inventories, the value of those inventories would have been $104 million and $119 million higher as of Junenbsp;30, 2010 and Septembernbsp;30, 2009, respectively. The cost of other U.S. and all non-U.S. inventories is determined using the average cost method or the FIFO method. /font/p p style="margin-top: 12px; text-indent: 4%; margin-bottom: 0px;"font style="font-family: Times New Roman;" class="_mt" size="2"During the three and nine months ended Junenbsp;30, 2010, inventory quantities were reduced at the Company's U.S. Supermetals site. These reductions led to a liquidation of LIFO inventory quantities that resulted in a decrease in cost of goods sold of $8 million and $15 million, respectively, and an increase in net income of $5 million ($0.08 per diluted common share) and $9 million ($0.15 per diluted common share), respectively, for the three and nine months ended Junenbsp;30, 2010. /font/p p style="margin-top: 12px; text-indent: 4%; margin-bottom: 0px;"font style="font-family: Times New Roman;" class="_mt" size="2"During the three and nine months ended Junenbsp;30, 2009, inventory quantities were also reduced at the Company's U.S. Rubber Blacks and Performance Products sites.

In this review, the Company makes assumptions about the future demand for and market value of the inventory and based on these assumptions estimates the amount of any obsolete, unmarketable, slow moving or overvalued inventory. Cabot writes down the value of these inventories by an amount equal to the difference between the cost of the inventory and its estimated market value. /font/p/div /div

The decision, which affected approximately 120 employees, was made as a result of a broad reaching analysis of the manufacturing assets, including cost structure, ability to expand and a variety of other factors. The Company continues to maintain a presence in India through its fumed metal oxides manufacturing joint venture and its continuing business operations in carbon black and other products. /font/p p style="margin-top: 12px; text-indent: 4%; margin-bottom: 0px;"font style="font-family: Times New Roman;" class="_mt" size="2"The Company expects the closure plan will result in a pre-tax charge to earnings of approximately $20 million, with approximately $18 million of this amount expected to be recorded during fiscal 2010. Pre-tax estimates of the total amount the Company expects to incur for each major type of cost associated with the closure plan are: (i)nbsp;costs relating to personnel of $7 million, (ii)nbsp;accelerated depreciation and impairment of facility assets of $9 million, (iii)nbsp;demolition and site clearing costs of $3 million, and (iv) other post close operating costs of $1 million. These amounts exclude any potential gain that may be realized on the sale of certain assets related to the manufacturing facility. /font/p p style="margin-top: 12px; text-indent: 4%; margin-bottom: 0px;"font style="font-family: Times New Roman;" class="_mt" size="2"Through Junenbsp;30, 2010, Cabot has recorded $14 million of charges associated with this restructuring, comprised of $5 million for severance and employee benefits andnbsp;$9 million for accelerated depreciation and asset impairments. /font/p p style="margin-top: 12px; text-indent: 4%; margin-bottom: 0px;"font style="font-family: Times New Roman;" class="_mt" size="2"Net cash outlays related to this action are expected to be $8 million, of which a nominal amount has been made through Junenbsp;30, 2010.

The estimated fair values of available for sale marketable securities and derivative instruments are valued as described in Note K. The fair value of Cabot's fixed rate long-term debt is estimated based on comparable quoted market prices at the respective period ends. The carrying amounts of Cabot's floating rate long-term debt approximates its fair value. /font/p p style="margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px;"font class="_mt" size="1" /fontnbsp;/p /div

While the Chief Operating Decision Maker uses a number of performance measures to manage the performance of the segments and allocate resources to them, income (loss) from operations before taxes is the measure that is most consistently used and is, therefore, the measure presented in the table below. /font/p p style="margin-top: 0px;

Revolving Credit Facility /b/font/p p style="margin-top: 6px; text-indent: 4%; margin-bottom: 0px;"font style="font-family: Times New Roman;" class="_mt" size="2"In June 2010, Cabot entered into a new committed unsecured revolving credit agreement. The new credit agreement provides for a $450 million revolving credit facility through June 2014 and replaces the Company's previous credit facility which was scheduled to expire in August 2010. The new credit agreement contains an option, subject to the lenders' approval, to increase the facility to $525 million. All borrowings under the new credit facility will be based on floating interest rates. Previously issued letters of credit in the aggregate amount of approximately $26 million are treated as issued under the new facility. The Company plans to use the new credit facility for general corporate purposes, which may include working capital, refinancing existing indebtedness, capital expenditures, share repurchases, and acquisitions. The new credit facility contains affirmative, negative and financial covenants and events of default customary for financings of this type. The financial covenants in the new credit facility include interest coverage, debt-to-EBITDA and subsidiary debt to total capitalization ratios. As of June 30, 2010, Cabot was in compliance with all applicable covenants. /font/p /div

Additionally, in the first half of fiscal 2010, Cabot closed the U.S. Internal Revenue Service ("IRS") audit of fiscal years 2005 and 2006, an audit with the state of Illinois for the 1992 to 2002 fiscal years, and an audit in Japan for the 2009 fiscal year, and settled uncertain tax positions in other jurisdictions. For the three and nine months ended Junenbsp;30, 2010, these settlements reduced the balance of unrecognized tax benefits by $1 million and $12 million, respectively. Certain Cabot subsidiaries are under audit in jurisdictions outside of the U.S. In addition, certain statutes of limitations are scheduled to expire in the near future. It is reasonably possible that a further change in the unrecognized tax benefits may occur with in the next twelve months related to the settlement of one or more of these audits or the lapse of applicable statutes of limitations; however, an estimated range of the impact on the unrecognized tax benefits cannot be quantified at this time. /font/p p style="margin-top: 12px; text-indent: 4%; margin-bottom: 0px;"font style="font-family: Times New Roman;" class="_mt" size="2"Cabot files U.S. federal and state and non-U.S. income tax returns in jurisdictions with varying statutes of limitations.

The following provides a synopsis of recent currency related events in Venezuela and their impact on Cabot's financial statements: *Fourth quarter fiscal 2009* Continued political and economic uncertainty in Venezuela led Cabot to decide in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2009 to repatriate the majority of the Company's cash from its subsidiaries using several available mechanisms, as exchange through the Venezuelan central bank ("CADIVI") process was uncertain. This repatriation was completed in the first quarter of fiscal 2010. Cabot also began to remeasure any remaining Bolivar denominated cash balances and Bolivar denominated dividends receivable held in its subsidiaries using the parallel rate at the end of the reporting period, which was 5.55 Bolivars to the U.S. Dollar (B/$) as of September 30, 2009. This was necessary as it was Cabot's intention to repatriate those monies as soon as practicable and Cabot believed that the official exchange rate sanctioned by the Venezuelan government would not be available to the Company for the purpose of dividend repatriation. This remeasurement resulted in a $6 million charge through other income (expense) within the consolidated statement of operations in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2009. *Second quarter of fiscal 2010* In January 2010, the Venezuelan government announced a devaluation of the Bolivar from 2.15 B/$ to two official rates through CADIVI, an essentials rate at 2.60 B/$ and a non-essentials rate at 4.30 B/$. The latter rate is the rate that Cabot believes would continue to be available to the operating affiliate to transact its ordinary activities. Given that Cabot had determined, as of January 1, 2010, that the Venezuelan economy was highly inflationary, as of the second quarter of fiscal 2010 Cabot began to remeasure all transactions of the operating affiliate denominated in Bolivars to U.S. Dollars using the non-essentials rate of 4.30 B/$. This decision gave rise to a gain of $1 million in Cabot's second quarter of fiscal 2010, because of the net monetary liability position of the operating affiliate. The parallel market (which was transacting at 7.0 B/$ as of March 31 , 2010) continued to be operational for repatriation transactions, and accordingly drove the remeasurement rate of the Bolivar denominated monetary assets held by Cabot's subsidiaries. *Third quarter of fiscal 2010* In May 2010, the Venezuelan government eliminated the use of the parallel market, and subsequently established an officially sanctioned and regulated secondary market. This market, "SITME", which effectively transacts at 5.3 B/$, operates in addition to the two official CADIVI rates, and is subject to restrictions which preclude Cabot from utilizing this market to remit dividends. As of June 30, 2010 the subsidiaries hold 5 million Bolivars in cash from dividends paid, and 8 million Bolivars in dividends receivable from the operating affiliate. Cabot still intends to convert substantially all Bolivars to U.S. Dollars as soon as practicable. However, with the closure of the parallel market, Cabot does not have a mechanism by which it may convert and remit the Bolivar holdings. Accordingly Cabot remeasured the Bolivar denominated cash and dividends receivable at the CADIVI non-essentials rate of 4.30 B/$, resulting in the recognition of a $1 million gain in the third quarter of fiscal 2010 through other income (expense) within the consolidated statement of operations. Any change in the CADIVI official rate or opening of additional parallel markets could result in additional gains or losses on the Bolivar denominated assets held by Cabot's subsidi aries. While the events relating to the parallel market did not have a material impact on Cabot's operating affiliate, the Company continues to monitor developments in Venezuela and their potential impact on the operating affiliate. Cabot uses a discounted cash flow model to determine if investments are impaired. Critical considerations of the model include the profitability of the operating affiliate and Cabot's ability to repatriate the affiliate's earnings. Based on the profitability of the operating affiliate and uncertainty concerning the continuation of the current currency restrictions, Cabot does not believe that the investment in the operating affiliate is impaired.
