INNOPHOS HOLDINGS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)
(Dollars in thousands, except per share amounts, share amounts or where otherwise noted)

1. Basis of Statement Presentation
Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of Innophos Holdings, Inc. and Subsidiaries, or Company, have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (U.S.) for interim financial reporting and do not include all disclosures required by generally accepted accounting principles in the U.S. for annual financial reporting, and should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated and combined financial statements of the Company at December 31, 2011 and for the three years then ended.
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company reflect all adjustments which management considers necessary for a fair statement of the results of operations for the interim periods and is subject to year end adjustments. The results of operations for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results for the full year. The December 31, 2011 condensed balance sheet data was derived from audited financial statements, but does not include all disclosures required by accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S.
Certain prior year balances have been restated to conform to current year presentation.
Out of Period Adjustments
During the second quarter of fiscal 2012, we identified certain adjustments in our financial statements related to 2011 through the first quarter of fiscal 2012. We corrected the items during the second quarter of fiscal 2012, which had the effect of increasing cost of goods sold by $3.9 million, and decreasing net income by $2.6 million. The impact of these items for the six months ended June 30, 2012 increased cost of goods sold by $2.4 million and decreased net income by $1.6 million. These prior period adjustments are not material to the financial results of the previously issued annual financial statements or current or previously issued interim financial statements. These adjustments are also not expected to be material to the full year 2012 financial statements.
Recently Issued Accounting Standards
Adopted
In May 2011, the FASB issued changes to conform existing guidance regarding fair value measurement and disclosure between U.S. GAAP and International Financial Reporting Standards. These changes both clarify the FASB's intent about the application of existing fair value measurement and disclosure requirements and amend certain principles or requirements for measuring fair value or for disclosing information about fair value measurements. The clarifying changes relate to the application of the highest and best use and valuation premise concepts, measuring the fair value of an instrument classified in a reporting entity's shareholders' equity, and disclosure of quantitative information about unobservable inputs used for Level 3 fair value measurements. The amendments relate to measuring the fair value of financial instruments that are managed within a portfolio; application of premiums and discounts in a fair value measurement; and additional disclosures concerning the valuation processes used and sensitivity of the fair value measurement to changes in unobservable inputs for those items categorized as Level 3, a reporting entity's use of a nonfinancial asset in a way that differs from the asset's highest and best use, and the categorization by level in the fair value hierarchy for items required to be measured at fair value for disclosure purposes only. These changes become effective for the Company on January 1, 2012. The implementation of this standard did not have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial position and results of operations.
In September 2011, the FASB issued amendments to the goodwill impairment guidance which provides an option for companies to use a qualitative approach to test goodwill for impairment if certain conditions are met. The amendments are effective for annual and interim goodwill impairment tests performed for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2011 (early adoption is permitted). The implementation of this standard did not have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial position and results of operations.
Issued but not yet adopted
None.

2. Earnings per share (EPS)
The Company accounts for earnings per share in accordance with ASC 260 and related guidance, which requires two calculations of earnings per share (EPS) to be disclosed: basic EPS and diluted EPS. Under ASC Subtopic 260-10-45, as of January 1, 2009 unvested awards of share-based payments with rights to receive dividends or dividend equivalents, such as our restricted stock, are considered participating securities for purposes of calculating EPS. Under the two-class method, a portion of net income is allocated to these participating securities and therefore is excluded from the calculation of EPS allocated to common stock, as shown in the table below.
The numerator for basic and diluted earnings per share is net earnings attributable to shareholders reduced by dividends attributable to unvested shares. The denominator for basic earnings per share is the weighted average number of common stock outstanding during the period. The denominator for diluted earnings per share is weighted average shares outstanding adjusted for the effect of dilutive outstanding stock options, performance share awards and restricted stock awards.
The following is a reconciliation of the weighted average basic number of common shares outstanding to the diluted number of common and common stock equivalent shares outstanding and the calculation of earnings per share using the two-class method:

We are a holding company that does not conduct any business operations of our own. As a result, we are dependent upon cash dividends, distributions and other transfers from our subsidiaries, most directly Innophos, Inc., our primary operating subsidiary, and Innophos Investments Holdings, Inc., its parent, to make dividend payments on our Common Stock.

4. Stockholders’ Equity / Stock-Based Compensation
Our compensation programs include share-based payments. The primary share-based awards and their general terms and conditions currently in effect are as follows:
Stock options, which entitle the holder to purchase, after the end of a vesting term, a specified number of shares of the Company’s common stock at an exercise price per share set equal to the market price of the Company’s common stock on the date of grant.
Performance share awards which entitle the holder to receive, at the end of a vesting term, a number of shares of the Company’s common stock, within a range of shares from zero to a specified maximum (generally 200%), calculated using a combination of performance indicators as defined solely by reference to the Company’s own activities. Amounts equivalent to dividends will accrue over the performance period and are paid on performance share awards when vested and distributed.
Restricted stock grants, which entitle the holder to receive, at the end of each vesting term, a specified number of shares of the Company's common stock, and which also entitle the holder to receive dividends paid on such grants throughout the vesting period.
Annual stock retainer grants, which entitle independent members of the Board of Directors to receive a number of shares of the Company’s common stock equal to a fixed retainer value.
 
Restricted Stock
On March 30, 2012 there were a total of 14,370 restricted shares granted to certain employees with a fair value of $0.7 million. These awards are classified as equity awards and vest annually over three years. The related compensation expense is based on the date of grant share price of $50.12. The compensation expense is amortized on a straight-line basis over the requisite vesting period and accelerated for those employees that are retirement eligible during the vesting period.
Stock Options
On March 30, 2012 the Company granted 39,683 non-qualified stock options at an exercise price of $50.12 per share to certain employees with a fair value of $0.8 million. The non-qualified stock options vest annually over three years with a 10-year term from date of grant.
The fair value of the options granted during 2012 was determined using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. The assumptions used in the Black-Scholes option-pricing model were as follows:
 
Non-qualified stock options
 
Expected volatility
53.2
%
Dividend yield
2.4
%
Risk-free interest rate
1.3
%
Expected term (years)
6

Weighted average grant date fair value of stock options
$
20.41

For the 2012 grants the Company had chosen a blended volatility which consists of 50% historical volatility average of a peer group and 50% historical volatility of Innophos. The expected term for the stock options is based on the simplified method since the Company has limited data on the exercises of stock options. These stock options qualify as “plain vanilla” stock options in accordance with SAB 110. The dividend yield is the expected annual dividend payments divided by the average stock price up to the date of grant. The risk-free interest rates are derived from the U.S. Treasury securities in effect on the date of grant whose maturity period equals the options expected term. The Company applies an expected forfeiture rate to stock-based compensation expense. The estimate of the forfeiture rate is based primarily upon historical experience of employee turnover. As actual forfeitures become known, stock-based compensation expense is adjusted accordingly.

(Dollars in thousands, except per share amounts, share amounts or where otherwise noted)

On March 30, 2012, the Company granted 43,106 performance shares to certain employees with a fair value of $2.2 million. The performance shares vest at the end of the three year performance cycle and the number of shares distributable depends on the extent to which the Company attains pre-established performance goals. Amounts equivalent to declared dividends will accrue on the performance shares and will vest over the same period.
In connection with the vesting of the performance share awards issued in 2009, the Company issued 136,423 shares of common stock, net of minimum tax withholdings, to certain employees as required under the terms of the plan in the first quarter of 2012.
Stock Grants
In May 2012 the six external members of the Board of Directors were each granted 1,275 shares of the Company's common stock with an aggregated fair value of $0.4 million which immediately vested as part of their director fees.
The following table summarizes the components of stock-based compensation expense, all of which has been classified as selling, general and administrative expense:

The Company's credit facility includes a term loan of $100.0 million and a revolving line of credit from the Lenders of up to $125.0 million, including a $20.0 million letter of credit sub-facility, all maturing on August 26, 2015. Prepayments of the term loan are required at the rate of 1% of original principal amount per quarter beginning on December 31, 2010.
As of June 30, 2012, $93.0 million was outstanding under the Term Loan and $40.0 million was outstanding under the revolving line of credit, both of which approximate fair value because they have a floating interest rate, level 2 input within the

fair value hierarchy, with total availability at $83.7 million, taking into account $1.3 million in face amount of letters of credit issued under the sub-facility. The current weighted average interest rate for all debt is 3.9%.
In the third quarter of 2010 the Company entered into an interest rate swap with an original notional amount of $100.0 million adjusting quarterly consistent with the Term Loan, with a fixed rate of 1.994% plus the applicable margin on the debt expiring in August 2015. The Company has the right to cancel the swap with no fee on September 28, 2012 and anytime thereafter. The fair value of this interest rate swap is a liability of approximately $0.4 million as of June 30, 2012.
We manage our interest rate risk by balancing the amount of fixed-rate and floating-rate debt to the extent practicable consistent with our credit status.
Total interest paid by the Company for all indebtedness for the six months ended June 30, 2012 and June 30, 2011 was $2,982 and $3,012.
As of June 30, 2012, the Company was in full compliance with all debt covenant requirements.

11. Income Taxes
The effective income tax rate on income before taxes was approximately 28% for the six months ended June 30, 2012 compared to approximately 34% for the comparable period in 2011. The variance in the effective tax rate is primarily due to the recording of an indemnity receivable related to the Mexican CNA Water Tax Claims (see note 12, Mexican CNA Water Tax Claims) being recorded as a discrete item for income tax provision purposes in the first quarter of 2012.
The Company does not have any material uncertain income tax positions in accordance with ASC 740-10-25. If any material uncertain tax positions did arise, the Company’s policy is to accrue associated penalties in selling, general and administrative expenses and to accrue interest in net interest expense. Currently, the Company is under examination, or has been contacted for examination, by certain foreign jurisdictions for its income tax returns for the years 2006 through 2009. As of June 30, 2012, our subsidiary, Innophos Mexicana requested a refund of $2.4 million for the 2009 tax year which is being disputed by the Mexican tax authorities. The Company believes that its tax position is more likely than not to be sustained and has not recorded a charge for this tax matter. In addition, our subsidiary, Innophos Canada, Inc. was assessed approximately $4.0 million for the tax years 2006, 2007, and 2008 by the Canadian tax authorities. On April 27, 2012, Innophos Canada filed a response to the Canadian tax authorities for the above tax matter disputing the full assessment. The Company believes that its

Page 13 of 33



Table of Contents
INNOPHOS HOLDINGS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)
(Dollars in thousands, except per share amounts, share amounts or where otherwise noted)

tax position is more likely than not to be sustained and has not recorded a charge for this tax matter. Other than the assessments mentioned above, as of June 30, 2012, no significant adjustments have been proposed to the Company's tax positions and the Company currently does not anticipate any adjustments that would result in a material change to its financial position during the next twelve months.
Income taxes paid were $28,324 and net income tax refunds were $16,175 for the six months ended June 30, 2012 and June 30, 2011, respectively.

12. Commitments and Contingencies
Environmental
The Company's operations are subject to extensive and changing federal and state environmental laws and regulations. The Company's manufacturing sites have an extended history of industrial use, and soil and groundwater contamination have or may have occurred in the past and might occur or be discovered in the future.
Liabilities for environmental matters are difficult to assess for numerous reasons, including the discovery of new remedial sites, discovery of new information and scarcity of reliable information pertaining to certain sites, improvements in technology, changes in environmental laws and regulations, numerous possible remedial techniques and solutions, difficulty in assessing the involvement of and the financial capability of other potentially responsible parties and the extended time periods over which remediation occurs. As the Company's environmental contingencies are more clearly determined, it is reasonably possible that amounts may need to be accrued. However, management does not believe, based on current information, that environmental remediation requirements will have a material impact on the Company's results of operations, financial position or cash flows.
Future environmental spending is probable at our site in Nashville, TN, the eastern portion of which had been used historically as a landfill, and a western parcel previously acquired from a third party, which reportedly had housed, but no longer does, a fertilizer and pesticide manufacturing facility. We have an estimated liability with a range of $0.9-$1.2 million. The remedial action plan for that site has yet to be finalized, and as such, the Company has recorded a liability, which represents the Company's best estimate, of $1.1 million as of June 30, 2012.
Litigation
2008 RCRA Civil Enforcement – Geismar, Louisiana plant
Following several inspections by the Environmental Protection Agency, or EPA, at our Geismar, LA purified phosphoric acid, or PPA, plant and related submissions we made to support claimed exemptions from the federal Resource, Conservation and Recovery Act, or RCRA, in March 2008, EPA referred our case to the Department of Justice, or DOJ, for civil enforcement. Although no citations were ever issued or formal proceedings instituted, the agencies claim we violate RCRA by failing to manage appropriately two materials that DOJ/EPA alleges are hazardous wastes. Those materials are: (i) Filter Material from an enclosed intermediate filtration step to further process green phosphoric acid we receive as raw material via pipeline from the adjacent site operated by an affiliate of Potash Corporation of Saskatchewan, or PCS; and (ii) Raffinate, a co-product we provide to PCS under a long-term contract we have with PCS.
Since referral of the case to DOJ, we and PCS have engaged in periodic discussions with DOJ/EPA and the Louisiana Department of Environmental Quality, or LDEQ, or collectively the Government Parties, in order to resolve the matter. In addition to asserting that the two materials in question are not hazardous wastes, we have also sought to demonstrate that both the nature and character of the materials as well as their use, handling and disposition were detailed in a solid waste permit amendment application filed in 1989 by PCS's predecessor, when our plant was first constructed, and approved by the LDEQ under the state RCRA program.
In the course of discussions with the Government Parties, the DOJ/EPA has required that we undertake, as an interim measure, the construction of a new filter unit that would replace the existing closed system and allow the removal and separate handling of the Filter Material. We built that unit, which is ready for commissioning and operation once appropriate agreements are reached with the Government Parties and PCS.
We and PCS also have initiated joint efforts to explore possible technical solutions to remaining concerns of the Government Parties, including Raffinate treatment. To date, treatment techniques for Raffinate have not yet been fully evaluated from a technological or cost standpoint. Based upon work so far, there appears to be at least one technically viable approach, but it has yet to be fully evaluated.

Page 14 of 33



Table of Contents
INNOPHOS HOLDINGS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)
(Dollars in thousands, except per share amounts, share amounts or where otherwise noted)

Even though the companies have conducted substantial technical work in an attempt to develop a feasible approach to address regulatory concerns, we cannot guarantee that our technical efforts will be successful, whether either party would be willing to implement solutions at what cost allocation or, depending on those factors and the Government Parties' position, whether this matter will be settled or will require litigation. Should litigation become necessary to defend our operations at Geismar as compliant with environmental laws and regulations or with PCS as to cost responsibility, no assurance can be given as to its outcome.
Based upon advice of our environmental counsel, we have determined that the risk of an effort by the Government Parties to shut down our Geismar plant or PCS's Geismar plant from which we obtain the green acid raw material is remote. In addition, we have concluded that the contingent liability arising from compliance costs for this matter as discussed above is neither remote nor probable, but is reasonably possible. On the assumption that “deep well injection” at the site is ultimately employed or required as the technologically acceptable approach for Raffinate, based on preliminary cost estimates to date, we estimate this technical approach to range from approximately $10 to $16 million.
Mexican CNA Water Tax Claims - 2005-2008
In January 2012, Fosfatados was served with CNA resolutions claiming higher water fees, surcharges and penalties for 2005 through 2008 for the total amount of approximately $9.8 million at current exchange rates, for which the Company has recorded an accrual. The Company has timely contested the resolutions in Mexican Courts and posted security for the amount claimed by granting liens, in accordance with Mexican law, on specified production assets located at its Coatzacoalcos plant.
Other Legal Matters
In March 2008, Sudamfos S.A., or Sudamfos, an Argentine phosphate producer, filed an arbitration before the ICC International Court of Arbitration, Paris, France, concerning an alleged agreement for our Mexicana subsidiary, Mexicana, to sell it 12,500 metric tons of phosphoric acid, but subsequently withdrew the proceeding. In October 2008, Mexicana filed suit in Mexico against Sudamfos to collect approximately $1.2 million representing the contract price for prior deliveries of acid for which Sudamfos had refused to pay. In October 2009, Sudamfos answered the suit and counterclaimed for $3.0 million based upon the agreement originally alleged in the arbitration. In subsequent proceedings including available appeals, Mexicana's claim was sustained and Sudamfos' counterclaim was denied. As a result, Mexicana expects to pursue collection in due course.
In addition, we are party to legal proceedings and contractual disputes that arise in the ordinary course of our business. Except as to the matters specifically discussed, management believes that these matters currently represent contingent liabilities that are not material. However, these matters cannot be predicted with certainty and an unfavorable resolution of one or more of them could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, financial condition, and/or cash flows.

Innophos Canada, Inc. made cash contributions to its Canadian defined benefit plan of $0.4 million during the six months ended June 30, 2012. Innophos Canada, Inc. plans to make additional cash contributions to its Canadian defined benefit plan of approximately $0.4 million during the remainder of 2012.

14. Segment Reporting
The company discloses certain financial and supplementary information about its reportable segments, revenue by products and revenues by geographic area. Operating segments are defined as components of an enterprise about which separate discrete financial information is evaluated regularly by the chief operating decision maker, in order to decide how to allocate resources and assess performance. The primary performance indicators for the chief operating decision maker are sales and operating income, with sales on a ship-from basis. All references to sales in this Form 10-Q, either on a ship-from or ship-to basis, are on the same basis of revenue recognition and are recognized when title and risk of loss passes to the customer, which occurs either upon shipment or delivery, depending upon the agreed sales terms with customers.
The Company's reportable segments reflect the core businesses in which Innophos operates and how it is managed. The Company reports its core specialty phosphates business separately from granular triple super-phosphate, or GTSP, and other non-specialty phosphate products (GTSP & Other). Kelatron is included in the Specialty Phosphates US & Canada segment and in the Specialty Ingredients product line. Specialty Phosphates consists of the products lines Specialty Ingredients, Food & Technical Grade PPA, and STPP & Detergent Grade PPA. GTSP & Other includes fertilizer co-product GTSP and other non-specialty phosphate products.

INNOPHOS HOLDINGS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)
(Dollars in thousands, except per share amounts, share amounts or where otherwise noted)


15. Acquisitions
On October 31, 2011, the Company acquired all of the outstanding stock of the privately held parent of Kelatron in a transaction accounted for under the acquisition method of accounting for business combinations. Kelatron Corporation is a leading producer of bioactive mineral nutrients sold into the nutritional and dietary supplements markets, based in Ogden, Utah. The combination of Kelatron's micronutrient range of products with the macronutrients of calcium, magnesium, potassium and phosphorus currently manufactured by Innophos is expected to significantly strengthen Innophos' offering to its food, beverage and dietary supplement customers.
The acquisition had a purchase price of approximately $21 million, subject to working capital adjustments. The price was funded from our revolving line of credit. Under the acquisition method of accounting, the assets acquired and liabilities assumed were recorded as of the acquisition date, at their respective fair values. The reported consolidated financial condition and results of operations after completion of the acquisition reflect these fair values. Kelatron's results of operations are included in the consolidated financial statements from the date of acquisition.
The purchase accounting for the acquisition has been closed and immaterial adjustments have been recognized in the six month period ended June 30, 2012.

16. Subsequent Events:
On July 17, 2012, Innophos, Inc. purchased for cash all of the equity of AMT Labs, Inc. and an affiliated real estate company holding all AMT real property, including unused land and buildings to support future expansion. AMT, a privately held company based in North Salt Lake, Utah, has been manufacturing high quality custom ingredients for the food, beverage, confectionary and nutraceutical industries for more than 20 years. AMT specializes in mineral ingredients essential to the human diet that are manufactured in various forms, including as chelates, to be easily digested (bioactive).
AMT's strengths are highly complementary to the Company's new bioactive mineral ingredients business platform, providing high quality manufacturing facilities better able to support the future growth expected in this product range.
The combined purchase price was $27 million, with $19.5 million being allocated to the AMT purchase and $7.5 million being allocated to the real estate entity. The transaction includes potential for additional consideration of up to $3 million contingent upon success in developing new market opportunities. The price was funded from our revolving line of credit as well as cash from operations.

ITEM 2.
MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
This discussion contains forward-looking statements about our markets, the demand for our products and services and our future results. We based these statements on assumptions that we consider reasonable. Actual results may differ materially from those suggested by our forward-looking statements for various reasons including those discussed in the “Risk Factors” and “Forward-Looking Statements” sections of this report.
Innophos is a leading international producer of performance-critical and nutritional specialty ingredients, with applications in food, beverage, dietary supplements, pharmaceutical, oral care and industrial end markets. Innophos combines more than a century of experience in specialty phosphate manufacturing with a growing capability in a broad range of other mineral ingredients to supply a product range produced to the highest standards of quality and consistency demanded by customers worldwide. Many of Innophos' products are application-specific compounds engineered to meet customer performance requirements and are often critical to the taste, texture and performance of foods, beverages, pharmaceuticals, oral care products and other applications. For example, Innophos products act as flavor enhancers in beverages, electrolytes in sports drinks, texture additives in cheeses, leavening agents in baked goods, pharmaceutical excipients, cleaning agents in toothpaste and provide a wide range of mineral fortification solutions for food, beverage and nutritional supplement manufacturers.

Recent Trends and Outlook

Specialty Phosphates achieved volume growth despite a moderate decline in market demand during the second quarter. Demand conditions weakened from a combination of limited further STPP reformulation in North America, customer destocking, particularly in international markets, and lower demand in a few market segments. This was offset by good progress on targeted growth initiatives, including excellent results from the recently acquired Kelatron business. Management expects to offset continued weaker market demand conditions in the second half through ongoing success with growth initiatives, and, overall, anticipates second half volume growth of approximately 1-3%, with acquisitions, including the recently announced AMT acquisition, contributing a further 4%.
Specialty Phosphates selling prices were 9% higher in the first half versus the same period last year and improved moderately in the second quarter on a sequential basis. We will continue to carefully monitor market and raw material cost trends and will consider additional price increases as market conditions allow. Our primary focus remains on continuing to meet our growth goals, both geographically and through product innovation.
Market prices for Innophos key raw materials of phosphate rock and sulfur were relatively unchanged through the second quarter, with the sequential increase seen in cost of goods sold arising as expected from contract terms catching up to current market prices. Prices for finished fertilizer products, including GTSP, increased sequentially during the second quarter before stabilizing again, and remain significantly below their 2011 levels.
Overall, therefore, management expects operating performance in both Specialty Phosphates and GTSP & Other in the 2012 third quarter to be similar to the second quarter. In addition, scheduled maintenance outages in Mexico and the US, together with an increased level of mining activity as we continue to evaluate the quality of our mining concessions in Mexico, are expected to result in a sequential increase in third and fourth quarter costs compared to the second quarter of approximately $2 million per quarter, affecting GTSP & Other and Specialty Phosphates equally.
The company generated strong operating cash flows including the benefits of delivering on working capital reduction targets with net debt (total debt less cash) decreasing by $33 million in the 2012 second quarter to $63 million.

Three months ended June 30, 2012 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2011
Net Sales
Net sales represent the selling price of the products, net of any customer-related rebates, plus freight and any other items invoiced to customers. Net sales for the three months ended June 30, 2012 were $214.2 million, an increase of $12.6 million, or 6.3%, as compared to $201.6 million for the same period in 2011. Selling price increases had a positive effect on revenue of 3.6% or $7.4 million which included a 7.0% increase in Specialty Phosphates showing positives across all product lines that was partially offset by lower pricing in GTSP & Other caused by declining fertilizer market price trends. Volumes increased 2.7% or $5.2 million with all of the Specialty Phosphate product lines showing increases but GTSP & Other showing a decline.
The Company calculates pure selling price dollar variances as the selling price for the current year to date period minus the selling price for the prior year to date period, and then multiplies the resulting selling price difference by the prior year to date period volume. Volume variance is calculated as the total sales variance minus the selling price variance and refers to the revenue effect of changes in tons sold at the relative prices applicable to the variation in tons, otherwise known as volume/mix.

Gross Profit
Gross profit represents net sales less cost of goods sold. Gross profit for the three months ended June 30, 2012 was $42.4 million, a decrease of $6.7 million, or 13.6%, as compared to $49.1 million for the same period in 2011. Gross profit percentage decreased to 19.8% for the three months ended June 30, 2012 versus 24.4% for the same period in 2011. Gross profit was unfavorably affected by higher raw material costs, partially offset by lower manufacturing costs and increased volumes, which had a combined unfavorable impact of $12.1 million. There was $3.9 million of out of period cost in Mexico during the current quarter, which was partially offset by revision to our estimates for the effect of contract terms on raw material pricing in 2012 of $1.2 million. Gross profit was favorably affected $7.4 million for higher selling prices and $0.7 million favorable exchange rate mostly from Mexican peso based costs.
Operating Expenses and Research and Development
Operating expenses consist primarily of selling, general and administrative and research and development expenses. Operating expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2012 were $16.1 million, a decrease of $0.4 million, or 2.4%, as compared to $16.5 million for the same period in 2011. The decrease was primarily due to $0.7 million lower non-cash stock compensation and a $0.9 decrease in all other costs partially offset by $1.2 million higher depreciation due to the ERP system that was put into service on August 27, 2011.
Operating Income
Operating income for the three months ended June 30, 2012 was $26.3 million, a decrease of $6.3 million, or 19.3%, as compared to $32.6 million for the same period in 2011. Operating income as a percentage of net sales decreased to 12.3% versus 16.2% for the same period in 2011, for the reasons noted above.
Interest Expense, net
Net interest expense, including deferred financing amortization expense, for the three months ended June 30, 2012 was $1.6 million, an increase of $0.3 million, or 23.1% as compared to $1.3 million for the same period in 2011.
Foreign Exchange

Selling price increases had a positive effect on revenue of 6.1%, or $24.5 million, with Specialty Phosphates up 9.0% on positive trends in all product lines, partially offset by lower pricing in GTSP & Other caused by declining fertilizer market price trends. Volumes increased 4.7% or $18.7 million with all major product lines contributing except STPP & Detergent Grade PPA which is down because of a strong first quarter 2011.
The Company calculates pure selling price dollar variances as the selling price for the current year to date period minus the selling price for the prior year to date period, and then multiplies the resulting selling price difference by the prior year to date period volume. Volume variance is calculated as the total sales variance minus the selling price variance and refers to the revenue effect of changes in tons sold at the relative prices applicable to the variation in tons, otherwise known as volume/mix.

which had a combined unfavorable impact of $39.3 million. There was $2.4 million of out of period cost in Mexico during the six months ended June 30, 2012, which was partially offset by revision to our estimates for the effect of contract terms on raw material pricing in 2012 of $1.2 million. Gross profit was favorably affected $24.5 million for higher selling prices, $7.1 million primarily due to the recording of a settlement with Rhodia on their liability for the charges to be paid to the Mexican water authority (CNA), and a $1.3 million favorable exchange rate impact mostly from Mexican peso based costs. Included in 2011 was $3.2 million expense for a scheduled maintenance outage at our Coatzacoalcos, Mexico manufacturing facility and $3.9 million income for updates to the provision for the Mexican CNA Water Tax Claims.
Operating Expenses and Research and Development
Operating expenses consist primarily of selling, general and administrative and research and development expenses. Operating expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2012 were $33.8 million, an increase of $0.8 million, or 2.4%, as compared to $33.0 million for the same period in 2011. The increase was due to $2.4 million higher depreciation due to the ERP system that was put into service on August 27, 2011 and $1.1 million increase due to the Kelatron business acquired in the fourth quarter of 2011 partially offset by $1.7 million lower non-cash stock compensation and a $1.0 million decrease in all other costs.
Operating Income
Operating income for the six months ended June 30, 2012 was $64.4 million, a decrease of $9.1 million, or 12.4%, as compared to $73.5 million for the same period in 2011. Operating income as a percentage of net sales decreased to 14.6% versus 18.4% for the same period in 2011, for the reasons noted above.
Interest Expense, net
Net interest expense, including deferred financing amortization expense, for the six months ended June 30, 2012 was $3.2 million, an increase of $0.6 million, or 23.1% as compared to $2.6 million for the same period in 2011.
Foreign Exchange
Foreign exchange gain for the six months ended June 30, 2012 was $0.4 million as compared to a loss of $0.6 million for the same period in 2011. The U.S. Dollar is the functional currency of our Mexican and Canadian operations. Consequently, foreign exchange gain or loss is recorded on remeasurement of non-U.S. dollar denominated monetary assets and liabilities. Such gains and losses fluctuate from period to period as the foreign currencies strengthen or weaken against the U.S. dollar and the amount of non-U.S. dollar denominated assets and liabilities increases or decreases.
Provision for Income Taxes
The effective income tax rate was 28% for the six months ended June 30, 2012 compared to 34% for the same period in 2011. The variance in the effective tax rate is due to the Rhodia settlement related to the Mexican CNA Water Tax Claims being recorded as a discrete item for income tax provision purposes in the first quarter of 2012 which had a 5% effect on the effective tax rate.
Net Income
Net income for the six months ended June 30, 2012 was $44.1 million, a decrease of $2.6 million as compared to $46.7 million for the same period in 2011, due to the factors described above.

Segment Operating Income Percentage of Net Sales:
The 610 basis point decrease in Specialty Phosphates US & Canada for the three months ended June 30, 2012 compared with the same period in 2011 is mainly due to increased raw material costs, manufacturing expenses and depreciation which exceeded a benefit from lower operating expenses, which combined for a 1,140 basis point decrease in margin percent. This was partially offset by increased selling prices which increased margins by 530 basis points.
The 1,460 basis point increase in Specialty Phosphates Mexico for the three months ended June 30, 2012 compared with the same period in 2011 is mainly due to increased selling prices which increased margin percent by 610 basis points. Lower manufacturing costs, operating expenses, and volume leverage exceeded higher raw material costs contributing an 850 basis point increase in margins.
The 2,830 basis point decrease in GTSP & Other for the three months ended June 30, 2012 compared with the same period in 2011 is primarily due to lower selling prices which decreased margin by 1,470 basis points. Higher raw material costs were partially offset by lower manufacturing expenses and depreciation which decreased margins by 490 basis points. Out of period costs in the current quarter, net of revision to our estimates for the effect of contract terms on raw material pricing in 2012, decreased margins an additional 870 basis points.

Six months ended June 30, 2012 compared to six months ended June 30, 2011
Net cash provided by operating activities was $73.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2012 as compared to $45.8 million for 2011, an increase of $27.6 million. The increase in operating activities cash resulted primarily from favorable changes of $35.6 million in working capital partially offset by unfavorable changes of $5.0 million in non-cash adjustments to income, $0.4 million in other long term assets and liabilities and $2.6 million in net income as described earlier.
The change in working capital is a source of cash of $9.0 million in 2012 compared to a use in 2011 of $26.6 million, an increase in cash of $35.6 million. The increase in cash is primarily due to decreases in inventory in our Mexico business related to timing of receipts and shipments of phosphate rock and GTSP.
Net cash used for investing activities was $10.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2012, compared to $16.7 million for 2011, mainly due to 2011 spending on the company's ERP project and an expansion project at Nashville, TN.
Management projects total 2012 capital expenditures to be approximately $25-30 million.
Innophos currently estimates that full exploration costs to a proven reserves standard for its Baja California mining concessions could require expenditures of $10 to $15 million over a period, currently estimated at three to five years, inclusive of expenditures to date. This estimate includes mineral rights payments, taxes, mineral resource measurement, beneficiation process design and completion of feasibility studies. Full expenditures would only occur if interim milestone goals were successfully attained. Combined 2010 and 2011 expenditures on the exploration of the Baja California Sur concession deposits were approximately $2.4 million, and management currently expects to spend an additional $1-2 million in 2012 and $2-3 million in 2013 above the previous trend rate to accelerate evaluations of its Santo Domingo concession. Innophos intends to seek one or more partners for these efforts, but anticipates no difficulties in completing the exploration phase without a partnership.
Net cash from financing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2012, was a use of $28.0 million, compared to a use of $13.1 million in 2011, an increase in the use of cash of $14.9 million. This was mainly due to $12.0 million decrease in cash from higher revolver loan repayments, $2.2 million higher dividend payments, $0.5 million lower stock option exercises and $0.2 million decrease in cash for excess tax benefits from exercise of stock options.
Innophos and its subsidiaries and affiliates may from time to time seek to acquire or otherwise retire outstanding debt through privately negotiated transactions, exchanges or otherwise. Debt repurchases or exchanges, if any, will depend on prevailing market conditions, Company liquidity requirements, restrictive financial covenants and other factors applicable at the time. The amounts involved may be material.
On June 30, 2012, the Company had cash and cash equivalents outside the United States of $56.7 million, or 81% of the Company's balance. Further, the foreign cash amounts are not restricted by law to be used in other countries. Our current operating plan does not include repatriation of any of the cash and cash equivalents held outside the United States to fund the United States operations. However, in the event we do repatriate cash and cash equivalents held outside of the United States, we may be required to accrue and pay United States taxes to repatriate these funds.
The Company's available financial resources allow for the continuation of dividend payments, pursuit of several “bolt-on” acquisition projects and further geographic expansion initiatives. We further believe that on-hand cash combined with cash generated from operations, including our Mexican operations, and availability under our revolving line of credit, will be sufficient to meet our obligations such as debt service, tax payments, capital expenditures and working capital requirements for

Page 28 of 33

at least the next twelve months. We expect to fund all these obligations through our existing cash and our future operating cash flows. However, future operating performance for the Company is subject to prevailing economic and competitive conditions and various other factors that are uncertain. If the cash flows and other capital resources available to the Company, such as its revolving loan facility, are insufficient to fund our debt and other liquidity needs, the Company may have to take alternative actions that differ from current operating plans.
On February 27, 2012 the Company declared an increase to its dividend from $0.25 per share to $0.27 per share to holders of record on April 16, 2012.
On July 17, 2012, Innophos, Inc. purchased for cash 100% of the equity of AMT Labs, Inc. and an affiliated real estate company holding all AMT real property, including unused land and buildings to support future expansion. The combined purchase price was $27 million, with $19.5 million being allocated to the AMT purchase and $7.5 million being allocated to the real estate entity. The transaction includes potential for additional consideration of up to $3 million contingent upon success in developing new market opportunities. The price was funded from our revolving line of credit as well as cash from operations.

Critical Accounting Estimates and Policies
There have been no material changes from the critical accounting estimates previously disclosed in our 2011 Annual Report on Form 10-K.
 
ITEM 3.
QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
We are exposed to certain market risks as part of our ongoing business operations. Primary exposures include changes in interest rates, as borrowings under our Loan Agreement will bear interest at floating rates based on LIBOR plus an applicable borrowing margin. We manage our interest rate risk by balancing the amount of fixed-rate and floating-rate debt to the extent practicable consistent with our credit status. For fixed-rate debt, interest rate changes do not affect earnings or cash flows. Conversely, for floating-rate debt, interest rate changes generally affect our earnings and cash flows, assuming other factors are held constant.
At June 30, 2012, we had $93.0 million principal amount of variable-rate debt and a $125.0 million revolving credit facility, of which $40.0 million was outstanding, both of which approximate fair value, determined using level 2 inputs within the fair value hierarchy. Total remaining availability was $83.7 million, taking into account $1.3 million in face amount of letters of credit issued under the sub-facility. In the third quarter of 2010 we entered into an interest rate swap with an original notional amount of $100 million adjusting quarterly consistent with the Term Loan, with a fixed rate of 1.994% plus the applicable margin on the debt, expiring in August 2015. The Company has the right to cancel the swap with no fee on September 28, 2012 and anytime thereafter. The fair value of this interest rate swap is a liability of approximately $0.4 million as of June 30, 2012.
Changes in economic conditions could result in higher interest rates, thereby increasing our interest expense on our revolving line of credit. Changes in economic conditions may also result in lower operating income, reducing our funds available for capital investment, operations or other purposes. In addition, a substantial portion of our cash flow has been used to service debt and fund working capital needs, which may affect our ability to make future acquisitions or capital expenditures. We may from time to time use interest rate protection agreements to minimize our exposure to interest rate fluctuation. Regardless of hedges, we may experience economic loss and a negative impact on earnings or net assets as a result of interest rate fluctuations. Based on $40.0 million outstanding borrowings as floating rate debt under our revolving credit facility, an immediate increase of one percentage point would cause an increase to interest expense of approximately $0.4 million per year.
From time to time, we may enter into longer term natural gas supply contracts in an effort to eliminate some of the volatility in our energy costs. Our natural gas spending for 2012 is estimated to be less than 2% of cost of goods sold. We did enter into a financial hedge for approximately 75% of our 2012 U.S. & Canada natural gas requirements, to reduce price volatility using fixed price contracts. At June 30, 2012, the Company had a liability with a fair value of approximately $0.4 million for these natural gas contracts.
We do not currently hedge our currency rate risks.
We believe that our concentration of credit risk related to trade accounts receivable is limited since these receivables are spread among a number of customers and are geographically dispersed. No customer accounted for more than 10% of our sales in the last 3 years.

Foreign Currency Exchange Rates
The U.S. Dollar is the functional currency of the Canadian and Mexican operations. Accordingly, these operations’ monetary assets and liabilities are translated at current exchange rates, non-monetary assets and liabilities are translated at historical exchange rates, and revenue and expenses are translated at average exchange rates and at historical exchange rates for the related revenue and expenses of non-monetary assets and liabilities. All transaction gains and losses are included in net income.
Our principal source of exchange rate exposure in our foreign operations consists of expenses, such as labor expenses, which are denominated in the foreign currency of the country in which we operate. A decline in the value of the U.S. Dollar relative to the local currency would generally cause our operational expenses (particularly labor costs) to increase (conversely, a decline in the value of the foreign currency relative to the U.S. Dollar would cause these expenses to decrease). We believe that normal exchange rate fluctuations consistent with recent historical trends would have a modest impact on our expenses, and would not materially affect our financial condition or results of operations. Nearly all of our sales are denominated in U.S. Dollars and our exchange rate exposure in terms of sales revenues is minimal.
Inflation and changing prices
Our costs and expenses will be subject to inflation and price fluctuations. Significant price fluctuations in raw materials, freight, and energy costs, if not compensated for by cost savings from production efficiencies or price increases passed on to customers could have a material effect on our financial condition and results of operations.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We do not have any relationships with unconsolidated entities or financial partnerships, such as entities often referred to as “structured finance or special purpose entities”, which would have been established for the purpose of facilitating off-balance sheet arrangements or other contractually narrow or limited purposes.

ITEM 4.
CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Disclosure Control and Procedures
The Company maintains disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) that are designed to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be reported in the Company's consolidated financial statements and filings is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the periods specified in the rules and forms of the Securities and Exchange Commission, or SEC, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to the Company's management, including its Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance of achieving the desired control objectives.
As of June 30, 2012, the Company completed an evaluation under the supervision and with the participation of the Company's management, including the Company's Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company's disclosure controls and procedures. Based upon that evaluation, the Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer concluded that the Company's disclosure controls and procedures are effective at the reasonable assurance level.
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during or with respect to the second quarter of 2012 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company's internal control over financial reporting.
