INTERNAL CONTROLS REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of
Calgon Carbon Corporation
Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania
We have audited managements assessment, included in the accompanying Managements Annual Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting, included in the Report of Management, that Calgon Carbon Corporation and subsidiaries (the Company) did not maintain effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2005 because of the effect of the material weakness identified in managements assessment, based on criteria established in Internal Control Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organization of the Treadway Commission. The Companys management is responsible for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on managements assessment and an opinion on the effectiveness of the Companys internal control over financial reporting based on our audit.
We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects. Our audit included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, evaluating managements assessment, testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control, and performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinions.
A companys internal control over financial reporting is a process designed by, or under the supervision of, the companys principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, and effected by the companys board of directors, management, and other personnel to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A companys internal control over financial reporting
3
includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the companys assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.
Because of the inherent limitations of internal control over financial reporting, including the possibility of collusion or improper management override of controls, material misstatements due to error or fraud may not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. Also, projections of any evaluation of the effectiveness of the internal control over financial reporting to future periods are subject to the risk that the controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
A material weakness is a significant deficiency, or combination of significant deficiencies, that results in more than a remote likelihood that a material misstatement of the annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected. The following material weakness has been identified and included in managements assessment: The Company did not maintain effective controls over the collection and recording of invoices for professional services. As a result, material adjustments were necessary to present the 2005 annual financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. As a result of the actual misstatement that occurred and the lack of other mitigating controls, this deficiency constitutes a material weakness in internal control over financial reporting. This material weakness was considered in determining the nature, timing, and extent of audit tests applied in or audit of the consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2005 of the Company and this report does not affect our report on such financial statements.
In our opinion, managements assessment that the Company did not maintain effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2005, is fairly stated, in all material respects, based on the criteria established in Internal Control Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. Also in our opinion, because of the effect of the material weakness described above on the achievement of the objectives of the control criteria, the Company has not maintained effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2005, based on the criteria established in Internal Control Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission.
We have also audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2005 of the Company and our report dated April 24, 2007 expressed an unqualified opinion on those financial statements.

FINANCIAL STATEMENTS REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of
Calgon Carbon Corporation
Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Calgon Carbon Corporation and subsidiaries (the Company) as of December 31, 2005 and 2004, and the related consolidated statements of income and comprehensive income, cash flows and stockholders equity for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2005. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Companys management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We did not audit the financial statements of Chemviron Carbon Ltd. and subsidiaries (Chemviron UK) as of and for the years ending December 31, 2005 and 2004, which statements reflect total assets constituting 9 percent and 10 percent of consolidated total assets as of December 31, 2005 and 2004, and total revenues constituting 12 percent and 11 percent of consolidated total revenues for the year then ended. Such financial statements were audited by other auditors whose report has been furnished to us, and our opinion, insofar as it relates to the amounts included for such subsidiary Chemviron UK, is based solely on the report of such other auditors.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits and the report of other auditors provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, based on our audits and the report of other auditors, such consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2005 and 2004 and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2005, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
We have also audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the effectiveness of the Companys internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2005, based on the criteria established in Internal Control Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission and our report dated April 24, 2007 expressed an unqualified opinion on managements assessment of the effectiveness of the Companys internal control over financial reporting and an adverse opinion on the effectiveness of the Companys internal control over financial reporting because of a material weakness.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Calgon Carbon Corporation
1. Summary of Accounting Policies
Operations
Calgon Carbon Corporation (the Company) is a global leader in services and solutions for purifying water and air, food, beverage, and industrial process streams. The Companys operations are principally conducted in three business segments: Activated Carbon and Service, Equipment, and Consumer. Each of these segments includes the production, design and marketing of products and services specifically developed for the purification, separation and concentration of liquids and gases. The Activated Carbon and Service segment relies on activated carbon as a base material, while Equipment relies on a variety of other methods and materials which also involve other materials in addition to activated carbon. The Consumer segment brings the Companys purification technologies directly to the consumer in the form of products and services. The Companys largest markets are in the United States, Europe, and Japan. The Company also markets in Canada, Latin America, and Asia.
Principles of Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Calgon Carbon Corporation and its wholly owned subsidiaries, Chemviron Carbon GmbH, Calgon Carbon Canada, Inc., Chemviron Carbon Ltd., Calgon Carbon Investments Inc., Solarchem Environmental Systems Inc., Charcoal Cloth (International) Limited, Charcoal Cloth Ltd., Advanced Separation Technologies Inc., Calgon Carbon (Tianjin) Co., Ltd., Calgon Carbon Asia Ltd., Waterlink (UK) Holdings Ltd., Sutcliffe Croftshaw Ltd., Sutcliffe Speakman Ltd., Sutcliffe Speakman Carbons Ltd., Lakeland Processing Ltd., and Sutcliffe Speakmanco 5 Ltd. In December 2004, the Company increased its equity ownership in Datong Carbon Corporation from 80% to 100% for a purchase price of $0.7 million which resulted in the Company recording additional goodwill of $0.4 million. The Company has a 49% ownership stake in a joint venture with Mitsubishi Chemical Corporation named Calgon Mitsubishi Chemical Corporation (CMCC). CMCC is accounted for in the Companys financial statements under the equity method. In May 2005, the Company formed a joint venture company with C. Gigantic Carbon which was named Calgon Carbon (Thailand) Ltd. The joint venture is 20% owned by the Company which is accounted for in the Companys financial statements under the equity method.
A portion of the Companys international operations in Europe is owned directly by the Company and is operated as branches. Intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated.
Foreign Currency
Substantially all assets and liabilities of the Companys international operations are translated at year-end exchange rates; income and expenses are translated at average exchange rates prevailing during the year. Translation adjustments represent other comprehensive income or loss and are accumulated in a separate component of shareholders equity, net of tax effects. Transaction gains and losses are included in other expense-net.
Revenue Recognition
Revenue and related costs are recognized when goods are shipped or services are rendered to customers provided that ownership and risk of loss have passed to the customer. Revenue for major equipment projects is recognized under the percentage of completion method by comparing actual costs incurred to total estimated costs to complete the respective projects.
Inventories
Inventories are carried at the lower of cost or market. Inventory costs are primarily determined using the first-in, first-out (FIFO) method.
Property, Plant and Equipment
Property, plant and equipment are recorded at cost. Repair and maintenance costs are expensed as incurred. Depreciation for financial reporting purposes is computed on the straight-line method over the estimated service lives of the assets, which are from 10 to 30 years for land improvements and buildings including leasehold improvements, 5 to 30 years for furniture, and machinery and equipment, 10 to 15 years for customer capital, 5 to 15 years for transportation equipment, and 5 to 10 years for computer hardware and software.
Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets
The Company accounts for goodwill and intangible assets in accordance with SFAS No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets. This standard requires that goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite useful lives not be amortized but should be tested for impairment at least annually. As required by SFAS No. 142, management has allocated goodwill to the Companys reporting units. Management has elected to do the annual impairment test on December 31 of each year and determined that no such impairment existed at December 31, 2005, 2004, and 2003, based on the Companys evaluation.
Other intangible assets with finite lives are amortized on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives in addition to being evaluated when there is an indicator of impairment as prescribed by SFAS No. 144, Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets.
11 Calgon Carbon Corporation |
Long-Lived Assets
The Company evaluates long-lived assets under the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 144, Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets, which addresses financial accounting and reporting for the impairment of long-lived assets and for long-lived assets to be disposed of. For assets to be held and used, the Company groups a long-lived asset or assets with other assets and liabilities at the lowest level for which identifiable cash flows are largely independent of the cash flows of other assets and liabilities. An impairment loss for an asset group reduces only the carrying amounts of a long-lived asset or assets of the group being evaluated. The loss is allocated to the long-lived assets of the group on a pro-rata basis using the relative carrying amounts of those assets, except that the loss allocated to an individual long-lived asset of the group does not reduce the carrying amount of that asset below its fair value whenever that fair value is determinable without undue cost and effort. Estimates of future cash flows used to test the recoverability of a long-lived asset group include only the future cash flows that are directly associated with and that are expected to arise as a direct result of the use and eventual disposition of the asset group. The future cash flow estimates used by the Company exclude interest charges. A long-lived asset to be disposed of other than by sale shall continue to be classified as held and used until it is disposed of. A long-lived asset or group of assets classified as held for sale shall be measured at the lower of its carrying amount or fair value less cost to sell.
Income Taxes
The Company provides an estimate for income taxes based on an evaluation of the underlying accounts, its tax filing positions and interpretations of existing law. Changes in estimates are reflected in the year of settlement or expiration of the statute of limitations. The Company does not believe that the resolution of existing unresolved tax matters will have a material impact on the consolidated financial condition of the Company, although a resolution could have a material impact on the Companys consolidated statement of income and comprehensive income for a particular future period and on the Companys effective tax rate.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences of temporary differences between the book and tax basis of assets and liabilities. If it is more likely than not that some portion or all of a deferred tax asset will not be realized, a valuation allowance is recognized.
No provision is made for United States income taxes on the undistributed earnings of non-United States subsidiaries because these earnings are permanently invested or otherwise indefinitely retained for continuing international operations. Determination of the amount of unrecognized deferred income tax liability related to these earnings is not practicable.
Pensions
Substantially all U.S. employees of the Company are covered by one of three non-contributory defined benefit pension plans. It is the Companys policy to annually fund these plans, subject to minimum and maximum amounts specified by governmental regulations. In Europe, employees are also covered by various defined benefit pension plans or government-sponsored defined contribution plans. The Company funds these plans according to local laws and practices.
Net Income Per Common Share
Basic net income per common share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted net income per common share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding plus all potential dilutive common shares outstanding during the period. Dilutive common shares are determined using the treasury stock method. Under the treasury stock method, exercise of options is assumed at the beginning of the period when the average stock price during the period exceeds the exercise price of outstanding options and common shares are assumed issued. The proceeds from exercise are assumed to be used to purchase common stock at the average market price during the period. The incremental shares to be issued are considered to be the potential dilutive common shares outstanding.
Statement of Cash Flows
For the purpose of the statement of cash flows, the Company considers all highly liquid debt instruments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.
Derivative Instruments
The Company applies Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities. SFAS No. 133, as amended, establishes accounting and reporting standards for derivative instruments, including certain derivative instruments embedded in other contracts and for hedging activities. Derivative financial instruments are occasionally utilized by the Company to manage risk exposure to movements in foreign exchange rates or interest rates. The Company, from time to time, enters into forward exchange contracts to obtain foreign currencies at specified rates based on expected future cash flows for each currency. The premium or discount on the contracts is amortized over the life of the contract. Changes in the value of derivative financial instruments are measured at the balance sheet date and recognized in current earnings or other comprehensive income depending on whether the derivative is designated as part of a hedge transaction and, if it is, the type of transaction. The Company does not hold derivative financial instruments for trading purposes.
Calgon Carbon Corporation 12 |
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
New Accounting Pronouncements
In November 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 151, Inventory Costsan Amendment of ARB No. 43, Chapter 4, which requires the recognition of costs of idle facilities, excessive spoilage, double freight and rehandling costs as a component of current-period expenses. The provisions of SFAS No. 151 are effective for inventory costs incurred during fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2005. Management has evaluated the impact of the adoption of SFAS No. 151 on the Companys financial statements and expects it to be immaterial. The Company plans to adopt SFAS No. 151 effective January 1, 2006 as required.
In December 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 123R, Share-Based Payment, which establishes the accounting for transactions in which an entity exchanges its equity instruments or certain liabilities based upon an entitys equity instruments for goods or services. SFAS No. 123R generally requires that publicly traded companies measure the cost of employee services received in exchange for an award of equity instruments based on the fair value of the award at the grant date. That cost will be recognized over the period during which an employee is required to provide service in exchange for the award which is usually the vesting period. Management expects that the provisions of SFAS No. 123R will be effective for the Company beginning January 1, 2006 as required. Management has not yet completed its evaluation of the impact of the adoption of SFAS No. 123R.
In May 2005, the FASB issued SFAS No. 154, Accounting Changes and Error Corrections, which changes the requirements for the accounting for and reporting of a change in accounting principle. SFAS No. 154 applies to all voluntary changes in accounting principle. It also applies to changes required by an accounting pronouncement in the unusual instance that the pronouncement does not include specific transition provisions. When a pronouncement includes specific transition provisions, those provisions should be followed. The Company plans to adopt SFAS No. 154 effective January 1, 2006 as required.
In December 2005, the FASB issued Interpretation No. (FIN) 47, Accounting for Conditional Asset Retirement Obligations, which clarifies that the term conditional asset retirement obligation, as used in FASB Statement No. 143, Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations, refers to a legal obligation to perform an asset retirement activity in which the timing and (or) method of settlement are conditional on a future event that may or may not be within the control of the entity. The provisions of FIN 47 are effective no later than the end of fiscal years ending after December 15, 2005 (December 31, 2005 for calendar-year enterprises). The Company has identified no material conditional asset retirement obligations and as a result, the adoption of FIN 47 had no material impact on the financial statements.
Labor Agreements
Collective bargaining agreements cover approximately 32% of the Companys labor force at December 31, 2005 under agreements which expire in 2007, 2008 and 2009.
Stock-Based Compensation
The Company has various stock-based compensation plans and applies Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees, and related interpretations. Accordingly, stock-based compensation cost on stock options granted is not reflected in net income for stock options at the date of grant, unless stock options granted have an exercise price less than the market value of the underlying common stock. Deferred compensation for restricted stock under the Companys stock-based compensation plans is charged to equity when the restricted stock is granted and expensed over the vesting period as contingencies of the restricted stock grant are met. The following table illustrates the effect on net income (loss) and net income (loss) per common share if the Company had applied the fair value recognition provisions of SFAS No. 123 Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation:

2. Acquisitions
On February 18, 2004, the Company acquired substantially all of the assets of Waterlink, Incorporateds (WSP) United States-based subsidiary, Barnebey Sutcliffe Corporation, and 100% of the outstanding common shares of Waterlink (UK) Limited, a holding company that owns 100% of the outstanding common shares of Waterlinks operating subsidiaries in the United Kingdom.
Known as Barnebey Sutcliffe in the United States and Sutcliffe Speakman in the United Kingdom, WSP is a leading provider of products, equipment, systems and services related to activated carbon and its uses for water and air purification, solvent recovery, odor control and chemical processing. The primary reasons for the Companys acquisition of WSP were to complement the Companys existing business in terms of (i) expanding its customer base; (ii) diversifying its product mix; (iii) providing access to profitable, niche markets; and (iv) enhancing profitability and cash flow.
The aggregate purchase price, including direct acquisition costs, and net of cash acquired, was $35.3 million, plus the assumption of certain non-working capital liabilities amounting to $14.2 million. The Company funded approximately $33.3 million of the purchase price through borrowings from its refinanced U.S. revolving credit facility (see Note 9).
The purchase price was allocated to the net assets acquired as follows:

In December 2004, the Company entered into an agreement to purchase the additional 20% interest of the then 80% owned Datong Carbon Corporation. The purchase resulted in the Company recording additional goodwill of $0.4 million related to the purchase.
In May 2005, the Company formed a joint venture company with C. Gigantic Carbon to provide carbon reactivation services to the Thailand market. The joint venture company was named Calgon Carbon (Thailand) Ltd. and is 20% owned by the Company after an initial investment of $0.2 million. It is accounted for in the Companys financial statements under the equity method.
3. Discontinued Operations and Assets and Liabilities Held for Sale
The Companys financial statements for all periods presented were significantly impacted by activities relating to the planned divestiture of two of the Companys businesses.
On February 4, 2005, the Companys Board of Directors approved a re-engineering plan presented by the Company. The plan included the divestiture of two non-core businesses in order to allow the Company to focus on its core activated carbon and service related businesses. In the fourth quarter of 2005, management concluded such divestitures are probable and the Company reclassified the following businesses from continuing operations to discontinued operations and assets held for sale for all periods presented: Charcoal/Liquid in Bodenfelde, Germany and Solvent Recovery in Columbus, Ohio; Vero Beach, Florida; and Ashton, United Kingdom. The Charcoal/Liquid and Solvent Recovery businesses were reported in the Companys Consumer and Equipment segments, respectively. As of December 31, 2005, no gain or loss has been recorded related to the divestitures. The pro forma effects of these dispositions are reflected on the Consolidated Balance Sheets and Consolidated Statements of Income and Comprehensive Income through their treatment as discontinued businesses.
The following table details selected financial information for the businesses included within the discontinued operations in the Consolidated Statements of Income and Comprehensive Income:

On February 17, 2006, Calgon Carbon Corporation, through its wholly owned subsidiary Chemviron Carbon GmbH, executed an agreement (the Business Sale Agreement) with proFagus GmbH, proFagus Grundstucksverwaltungs GmbH and proFagus Beteiligungen GmbH (as Guarantor) to sell, and sold, substantially all the assets, real estate, and specified liabilities of the Bodenfelde, Germany facility (the Charcoal/Liquid business). The facility includes the production of charcoal for consumer use and liquids that are recovered during charcoal production. The products are sold to retail and industrial markets.
The aggregate sales price, based on an exchange rate of 1.19 dollars per euro, consisted of $19.1 million of cash and is subject to a potential working capital adjustment. An additional $5.0 million could be paid contingent upon the business meeting certain earnings targets over the next three years.
4. Restructuring of Operations
On February 4, 2005, the Companys Board of Directors approved a re-engineering plan presented by the Company. The plan included the closure of two small manufacturing facilities, the potential divestiture of two non-core businesses, and the elimination of approximately 70 employees globally. All activities related to the re-engineering plan other than the divestitures were completed by year-end 2005. The divestiture of the Charcoal/Liquid business occurred on February 17, 2006, and the divestiture of the solvent recovery business is expected to be completed during the first quarter of 2006.
The restructuring charges for the years ended December 31, 2005, 2004 and 2003 were:

In 2003, the Company temporarily suspended construction of a new facility in the Gulf Coast region of the United States as it evaluated strategic alternatives. On March 22, 2005, the Company concluded, and the Board of Directors approved, that cancellation of this project was warranted and that construction of such a facility should be suspended for the foreseeable future. Accordingly, the Company recorded an impairment charge of $2.2 million in 2005.
Also in 2003, the Company partially discontinued operation of one of its three activated carbon lines at its Catlettsburg, Kentucky facility. The Company will need to install pollution abatement equipment estimated at approximately $7.0 million in order to remain in compliance with state requirements regulating air emissions before resuming full operation of this line. Management has not concluded its plan of action for compliance related to this activated carbon line; however, if it is determined that a shutdown of the full operation of the activated carbon line for other than a temporary period is warranted, the impact to current operating results would be insignificant.
In January 2006, the Company announced the temporary idling of its reactivation facility in Blue Lake, California in an effort to reduce operating costs and to more efficiently utilize the available capacity at other existing locations. The Company conducted an impairment review of the plants assets, having a net book value of $1.8 million, in connection with the temporary idling of the facility, and concluded that the assets were not impaired. It is managements intention to resume operation of the plant in 2007. If management concludes that the idling of the plant beyond 2007 is warranted, operating results may be adversely affected by impairment charges.
7. Goodwill and Intangible Assets
The Company used a combination of methods to determine the fair value of the intangible assets of the acquired Waterlink Specialty Products (see Note 2), including the cost approach, the market approach, and the income approach. The acquired intangible assets consist primarily of customer contracts and customer relationships and are recognized apart from goodwill. The acquired intangible assets useful lives are based on the expected future cash flows the Company is expected to realize and the amortization will be recognized to match the expected cash flows.
The following is the categorization of the Companys intangible assets as of December 31, 2005 and 2004, respectively:

United States Credit Facilities
At December 31, 2005, the Company had a $125.0 million revolving credit facility. Borrowings under this facility were being charged a weighted average interest rate of 6.24% at December 31, 2005.
Included in the credit facility was a letter of credit sub-facility that could not exceed $30.0 million. The interest rate was based upon euro-based (LIBOR) rates with other interest rate options available. The applicable Euro Dollar margin ranged from 0.80% to 1.85% and the annual facility fee ranged from 0.20% to 0.40% of the committed amount and is based upon the Companys ratio of debt to earnings before interest, income taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA).
The credit facilitys covenants imposed financial restrictions on the Company, including maintaining certain ratios of debt to EBITDA, EBITDA to cash outlays and operating assets to debt and net worth. In addition, the facility imposed gross spending restrictions on capital expenditures, dividends, treasury share repurchases, acquisitions and investments in non-controlled subsidiaries. The facility also contained mandatory prepayment provisions for proceeds in excess of pre-established amounts of certain events as defined within the loan agreement.
17 Calgon Carbon Corporation |
At September 30, 2005, the Company was in violation of its leverage covenant, a ratio of debt to EBITDA as defined in the credit agreement and all debt outstanding under this facility was classified as short term. In November 2005, the Company secured a waiver of this covenant which was scheduled to expire on January 31, 2006. The terms of the waiver increased the leverage covenant which limited borrowings to no more than 3.25 times trailing four quarters EBITDA to 3.75 for the September 30, 2005 testing period and included a requirement that the Companys borrowings (as defined in the agreement) not exceed $105.0 million during the waiver period. Availability under this credit facility at December 31, 2005 was $13.9 million. Also, as a condition of the waiver, the Company and certain of its subsidiaries were required to enter into a security agreement granting a blanket security interest in favor of the lenders, and a pledge agreement in favor of the lenders with respect to the stock of certain subsidiaries. In addition, the Company agreed to execute mortgages, if requested, on its U.S. real property.
On January 30, 2006, the Company amended and restated its then existing $125.0 million revolving credit facility. The amended $118.0 million facility consists of a $100.0 million revolving loan and an $18.0 million term loan. Current commitments from the lenders under the new agreement total $105.0 million with an additional $13.0 million available to the existing or new lenders. The amended and restated facility is secured by a blanket security interest in favor of the lenders and a pledge agreement in favor of the lenders with respect to the stock of certain subsidiaries.
Included in the credit facility is a letter of credit sub-facility that cannot exceed $30.0 million. The interest rate is based upon euro-based (LIBOR) rates with other interest rate options available. The applicable Euro Dollar margin ranges from 1.25% to 2.50%, and an unused commitment fee that ranges from 0.25% to 0.50% and is based upon the Companys ratio of debt to EBITDA. The credit facilitys covenants impose financial restrictions on the Company, including maintaining certain ratios of debt to EBITDA, EBITDA to cash outlays and operating assets to debt and minimum net worth. In addition, the facility imposes gross spending restrictions on capital expenditures, dividends, treasury share repurchases, acquisitions and investments in non-controlled subsidiaries. The facility also contains mandatory prepayment provisions for the term loan and proceeds in excess of pre-established amounts of certain events as defined within the loan agreement.
On February 23, 2006, the Company, as required by the amended credit facility, repaid the $18.0 million term loan with the proceeds from the sale of the Companys Charcoal/Liquid business. The remaining $100.0 million revolving loan has $87.0 million of funding commitments from the Companys lenders. The Company intends to secure the remaining $13.0 million of commitments either through its existing lenders or new lenders before the end of the first quarter of 2006.
In March 2006, the Company amended its U.S. credit facility to clarify elements of certain covenants and to finalize an amount used for one of the add-back provisions of the covenants that were required to be met as of December 31, 2005 as conditions to the closing of the facility. The Company was in compliance with these covenants as of December 31, 2005, as amended.
The Company has classified the amounts outstanding on its revolving credit facility at December 31, 2005 as long term in accordance with the provisions of SFAS No. 6, Classification of Short-Term Obligations Expected to be Refinanced.
Industrial Revenue Bonds
The Mississippi Industrial Revenue Bonds totaling $2.9 million and $3.0 million at December 31, 2005 and 2004, respectively, bear interest at a variable rate and mature in May 2009. The interest rate as of December 31, 2005 was 3.02%. These bonds were issued to finance certain equipment acquisitions at the Companys Pearl River, Mississippi plant.
Belgian Credit Facility
The Company maintains a Belgian credit facility totaling 4.0 million euros which is secured by a U.S. letter of credit. There are no financial covenants, and the Company had no outstanding borrowings under the Belgian credit facility as of December 31, 2005. Bank guarantees of 1.5 million euros were issued as of December 31, 2005. The maturity date of this facility is December 15, 2006. Availability under this facility was 2.5 million euros at December 31, 2005.
United Kingdom Credit Facilities
The Company maintains a United Kingdom unsecured overdraft facility totaling 200,000 British Pounds Sterling. There are no financial covenants and the Company had no outstanding borrowings under this overdraft facility as of December 31, 2005. This facility is reviewed annually. The bank, in its sole discretion, may cancel at any time its commitment to provide this facility.
The Company also maintains a United Kingdom unsecured bonds, guarantees and indemnities facility totaling 500,000 British Pounds Sterling. The bank, in its sole discretion, may cancel at any time its commitment to provide this facility. This facility was fully utilized at December 31, 2005.
Fair Value of Long-Term Debt
Substantially all long-term debt is based on rates that float with Euro Dollar-based rates or prime rates, and, accordingly, the carrying value of these obligations approximates their fair value.
Maturities of Debt
The Company is obligated to make principal payments on long-term debt outstanding, after taking into account the January 30, 2006 refinancing, at December 31, 2005 of $1.8 million in 2006, of $3.6 million in 2007, $75.6 million in 2008, and $2.9 million in 2009, and excluding the $18.0 million repayment made on February 23, 2006.

11. Shareholders Equity
The Companys Board of Directors in 2000 authorized the purchase of up to 500,000 shares of the Companys stock. As of December 31, 2005, 11,300 shares have been purchased under this stock buy back program.
The Board of Directors adopted a new Stockholder Rights Plan in February 2005 designed to guard against (1) coercive and abusive tactics that might be used in an attempt to gain control of the Company without paying all stockholders a fair price for their share or (2) the accumulation of a substantial block of stock without offering to pay stockholders a fair control premium. The Rights Plan will not prevent takeovers, but is designed to preserve the Boards bargaining power and flexibility to deal with third-party acquirers and to otherwise seek to maximize value for all stockholders. The Plan awards one Right for each outstanding share of common stock held by stockholders of record on February 3, 2005 and thereafter. Each Right entitles the holder to purchase from the Company one unit of one ten-thousandth of a share of a newly created series of preferred stock at a purchase price of $35 per unit. The Rights will be exercisable only if a person or group acquires beneficial ownership of 10% or more of the Companys outstanding common stock (15% or more in the case of certain institutional investors) or commences a tender or exchange offer upon consummation of which such person or group would beneficially own 10% or more of the Companys common stock (Acquiring Person). If one of those events occurs, each stockholder (with the exception of the acquiring person or group) can purchase stock of the Company or the acquiring person at a 50% discount. The Rights can be redeemed by the Board of Directors under certain circumstances, in which case the Rights will not be exchangeable for shares.

Non-Employee Directors Stock Option Plan
The 1993 Non-Employee Directors Stock Option Plan, as last amended in 2005, provides for an annual grant on the day following the Annual Meeting of Stockholders of option shares equal to a number of shares which will result in a Black-Scholes calculated value of $25,000 per Director on the date of grant. The options vest and become exercisable six months after the date of grant and, in general, expire ten years after the date of grant.

The accumulated benefit obligation at the end of 2005 and 2004 was $76.6 million and $65.7 million, respectively. For all U.S. plans, at December 31, 2005 and 2004, the projected benefit obligation and accumulated benefit obligation each exceed fair value of plan assets. Two of the Companys U.S. plans were amended to allow non-union employees a one-time choice between continued accrual of benefits under the existing plan as of December 31, 2005 or to begin accruing benefits under the Retirement Savings Plan effective January 1, 2006. In addition, the Companys Salaried Plan has been closed to new participants. The Company also incurred curtailment charges related to the aforementioned amendment as well as the reduction in workforce as a result of the Companys 2005 re-engineering plan.

The Companys investment strategy is to earn the highest possible long-term total rate of return and minimize risk to ensure the preservation of the plan assets for the provision of benefits to participants and their beneficiaries. This is accomplished by active management of a diversified portfolio by fund managers, fund styles, asset types, risk characteristics and investment holdings.

The expected rate of return on plan assets was determined by evaluating input from the Companys actuaries, including their review of asset class return expectations as well as long-term inflation assumptions. Projected returns are based on broad equity and bond indices. The Company also considered its historical 10-year compounded return of 8.09% which has been in excess of these broad equity and bond benchmark indices.

The expected rate of return on plan assets was determined by evaluating input from the Companys actuaries, including their review of asset class return expectations as well as long-term inflation assumptions. Projected returns are based on broad equity and bond indices. The Company also considered its historical 10-year compounded return of 6.31% which has been below these broad equity and bond benchmark indices. Managements estimate considers the achievement of plan asset returns at or in excess of levels attained in the broad equity and bond indices.
The non-current portion of $37.3 million and $26.3 million at December 31, 2005 and 2004, respectively, for the U.S. and European pension liabilities is included in other liabilities.
The Company also sponsors a defined contribution pension plan for certain U.S. employees that permits employee contributions of up to 50% of eligible compensation in accordance with Internal Revenue Service guidance. The Company makes matching contributions on behalf of each participant in an amount equal to 25% of the employee contribution up to a maximum of 4% of employee compensation. Employer contributions vest immediately. Total expenses related to this defined contribution plan were $0.2 million, $0.2 million, and $0.2 million at December 31, 2005, 2004, and 2003, respectively.

The Company completed its evaluation of the new law on repatriation of foreign earnings during December 2005. The new law reduced the federal income tax rate to 5.25% of earnings distributed from non-United States based subsidiaries for a one-year period. The Company repatriated a total of $4.9 million from two wholly owned subsidiaries ($1.7 million from Calgon Carbon Canada, Inc. and $3.2 million from Chemviron Carbon, Ltd.). The current income tax included in the provision for this repatriation is $0.3 million. The Company has not changed its policy of permanent reinvestment under APB No. 23 due to this one-time repatriation of earnings.
The Company also has the following operating loss carryforwards and domestic tax credit carryforwards as of December 31, 2005:

Valuation reserves are established when it is more likely than not that a portion of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The valuation reserves are adjusted based on the changing facts and circumstances, such as the expected expiration of an operating loss carryforward.
The 2005 valuation reserves represent reserves for U.S. foreign tax credits ($1,338), certain state operating loss carryforwards ($588), and certain foreign operating loss carryforwards ($1,456). The 2004 valuation reserves represent reserves for U.S. foreign tax credits ($1,508), certain state operating loss carryforwards ($401) and certain foreign operating loss carryforwards ($1,630). The 2005 decrease in the valuation reserve was attributable to recording a foreign tax credit benefit, an additional reserve for state loss carryforwards, and foreign exchange on the foreign loss carryforwards.

Foreign currency translation adjustments exclude income tax expense (benefit) for the earnings of the Companys non-United States subsidiaries as management believes these earnings will be reinvested for an indefinite period of time. An estimate of the amount of unrecognized deferred tax liability is currently not practicable. The Company has made a one-time repatriation under the new law on repatriations, but has not changed its policy of permanent reinvestment under APB No. 23 Accounting for Income TaxesSpecial Areas due to this one-time repatriation of earnings.
The income tax effect included in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) for other non-U.S. subsidiaries was $178,000 at December 31, 2005, 2004, and 2003.

18. Derivative Instruments
The Company accounts for its derivative instruments under Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities, as amended. This standard requires recognition of all derivatives as either assets or liabilities at fair value and may result in additional volatility in both current period earnings and other comprehensive income as a result of recording recognized and unrecognized gains and losses from changes in the fair value of derivative instruments.
The Companys corporate and foreign subsidiaries use forward exchange contracts to limit the exposure of exchange rate fluctuations on certain foreign currency receivables, payables, and other known and forecasted transactional exposures for periods consistent with the expected cash flow of the underlying transactions. The contracts generally mature within one year and are designed to limit exposure to exchange rate fluctuations.
At December 31, 2005, the Company had twelve foreign currency forward exchange contracts outstanding. The Company applied hedge accounting treatment for two of the foreign currency forward exchange contracts and recorded an immaterial gain in other income for the other ten foreign currency forward exchange contracts. The two foreign currency forward exchange contracts held at December 31, 2005, which received hedge accounting treatment, were treated as foreign exchange cash flow hedges regarding payment for inventory purchases and were released into operations during the year based on the timing of the sales of the underlying inventory. At December 31, 2004, the Company had one derivative instrument outstanding which was a foreign currency forward exchange contract. The Company did not apply hedge accounting treatment for the foreign currency forward exchange contract and recorded an immaterial gain in other income.
On April 26, 2004, the Company entered into a ten-year foreign currency swap agreement to fix the foreign exchange rate on a $6.5 million intercompany loan between the Company and its foreign subsidiary, Chemviron Carbon Ltd. Since its inception the foreign currency swap has been treated as a foreign exchange cash flow hedge. Accordingly, the changes in the fair value of the effective hedge portion of the foreign currency swap of ($0.2) million and ($0.3) million, respectively, for the years ended December 31, 2005 and 2004 and was recorded in other comprehensive income (loss). The balance of the effective hedge portion of the foreign currency swap recorded in other long-term liabilities was $0.2 million and $0.8 million, respectively, as of December 31, 2005 and 2004.
No component of the derivative gains or losses has been excluded from the assessment of hedge effectiveness. For the years ended December 31, 2005 and 2004, the net gain or loss recognized due to the amount of hedge ineffectiveness was insignificant.
Managements policy for managing foreign currency risk is to use derivatives to hedge up to 75% of the forecasted intercompany sales to its European subsidiaries. The hedges involving foreign currency derivative instruments do not span a period greater than one year from the contract inception date. Management uses various hedging instruments including, but not limited to foreign currency forward contracts, foreign currency option contracts and foreign currency swaps. Hedge effectiveness is measured on a quarterly basis and any portion of ineffectiveness is recorded directly to the Companys earnings.

19. Contingencies
During the year ended December 31, 2005, the Companys Pearl River plant was impacted by Hurricane Katrina. The Company has both property and business interruption insurance coverage for this plant. Management is in the process of filing claims with its insurance carrier to recover damages for both property and business interruption related to this event. As of the year ended December 31, 2005, the Company had incurred a $1.0 million charge for costs which are not recoverable from insurance and $6.8 million for damages which the Company deems to be recoverable from insurance. Included in the recoverable amount is $3.8 million recorded as additions to property, plant, and equipment. In the fourth quarter of 2005, the Company received an advance on its claim of $1.5 million from its insurance carrier for property damage which reduced the receivable recorded. The Company has an insurance receivable recorded at December 31, 2005 in the amount of $1.5 million. No amounts have been recorded for any amounts claimed or to be claimed for business interruption as of the year ended December 31, 2005. In February 2006, the Company received an additional advance on its claim of $2.0 million from its insurance carrier for property damage.
On December 31, 1996, the Company purchased the common stock of Advanced Separation Technologies Incorporated (AST) from Progress Capital Holdings, Inc. and Potomac Capital Investment Corporation. On January 12, 1998, the Company filed a claim for unspecified damages in the United States District Court in the Western District of Pennsylvania alleging among other things that Progress Capital Holdings and Potomac Capital Investment Corporation materially breached various AST financial and operational representations and warranties included in the Stock Purchase Agreement. Based upon information obtained since the acquisition and corroborated in the course of pre-trial discovery, the Company believes that it has a reasonable basis for this claim and intends to vigorously pursue reimbursement for damages sustained. Neither the Company nor its counsel can predict with certainty the amount, if any, of recovery that will be obtained from the defendants in this matter.
The Company is also currently a party in three cases involving alleged infringement of its U.S. Patent No. 6,129,893 and U.S. Patent No. 6,565,803 B1 (U.S. Patents) or Canadian Patent No. 2,331,525 (525 Patent) for the method of preventing infection from cryptosporidium found in drinking water. In the first case, Wedeco Ideal Horizons, Inc. has filed suit against the Company seeking a declaratory judgment that it does not infringe the Companys U.S. Patents and alleging unfair competition by the Company. This matter is currently pending in the United States District Court for the District of New Jersey. In the second case, the Company filed suit against the Town of Ontario, NY, Trojan Technologies Inc. (Trojan) and Robert Wykle, et al. in the United States District Court for the Western District of New York alleging that the defendant is practicing the method claimed within the U.S. patent without a license. In the third case, the Company has filed suit against the City of North Bay, Ontario, Canada (North Bay) and Trojan in the Federal court of Canada alleging infringement of the 525 Patent by North Bay and inducement of infringement by Trojan. In June 2005, North Bay obtained a ruling that the 525 Patent is invalid in Canada. The Company appealed the ruling, and in December 2005, the Canadian Federal Court of Appeal allowed the Companys appeal. As a result of the appellate courts decision, the case will move forward to trial in April 2006 to determine the merits of the Companys claim that the City of North Bay, Ontario, Canada infringed its patent and Trojan Technologies, Inc. induced that infringement. Neither the Company nor its counsel can predict with any certainty the outcome of the three matters.
The Company has received a demand from the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection (PADEP) that the Company reimburse PADEP for response costs the agency alleges have been taken at a site owned by a third party and located in Allegheny County, Pennsylvania (Site). The letter also included an unspecified demand for interest and for any future costs incurred by PADEP at the Site. The Company understands that the response costs are approximately $1.3 million. Based on information provided by the PADEP, the Site is approximately 8 acres and was used from the 1950s until the 1960s as a disposal site for coke or carbon sweepings and other industrial wastes. The Company has been in discussions with PADEP regarding the Companys position that it is not the entity that disposed of materials containing the contaminants identified by PADEP at the Site and that any materials that may have been deposited by the Companys predecessor did not contain actionable levels of hazardous substances identified by PADEP. PADEP has advised the
29 Calgon Carbon Corporation |
Company that it is prepared to settle the matter for payment of $475,000. The Company believes PADEPs position is not meritorious, and the demand is unwarranted. The Company intends to continue to vigorously defend the matter.
In September 2004, a customer of one of the Companys distributors demanded payment by the Company of approximately $340,000 as reimbursement for losses allegedly caused by activated carbon produced by the Company and sold by the distributor. The claimant contends that the activated carbon contained contamination which adversely impacted its production process. The Company is in the process of evaluating the claim, and at this time, cannot predict with any certainty the outcome of this matter.
The Company is involved in various legal proceedings, lawsuits and claims, including employment, product warranty and environmental matters of a nature considered normal to its business. It is the Companys policy to accrue for amounts related to these legal matters if it is probable that a liability has been incurred and an amount is reasonably estimable. Management believes, after consulting with counsel, that the ultimate liabilities, if any, resulting from such lawsuits and claims will not materially affect the consolidated results of operations, cash flows or financial position of the Company.
In conjunction with the purchase of substantially all of Waterlinks operating assets and the stock of Waterlinks U.K. subsidiary, several environmental studies were performed on its Columbus, Ohio property by environmental consulting firms which identified and characterized areas of contamination. In addition, these firms identified alternative methods of remediating the property, identified feasible alternatives and prepared cost evaluations of the cost of the various alternatives. Liability estimates are based on an evaluation of, among other factors, currently available facts, existing technology, presently enacted laws and regulations, and the remediation experience of other companies. The Company has concluded from the information in the studies that a loss at this property is probable and has included an estimate of such loss of $5.6 million, which was recorded as an undiscounted liability on the opening balance sheet at the date of the acquisition and was presented as a component of noncurrent other liabilities in the Companys consolidated balance sheet. As of December 31, 2005 and 2004, respectively, the Company had recorded an accrual of $5.3 million. The change in the accrual is a result of a decrease in estimated costs of $0.2 million, which reduced the acquisition price of WSP, and the environmental remediation previously incurred of $0.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2004. A change in the estimate of this obligation may occur as additional investigative work is performed and the remediation activity commences. The ultimate remediation costs are dependent upon the extent and types of contamination, which will not be fully determined until more detailed information is developed through upcoming investigations and experience gained through remediation activities. The accrued amounts are expected to be paid out over the course of several years. The Company has incurred $27,000 of environmental remediation expense for the year ended December 31, 2005.
The Company owns a 49% interest in a joint venture, Calgon Mitsubishi Chemical Corporation, which was formed on October 1, 2002. At December 31, 2005, Calgon Mitsubishi Chemical Corporation had $9.9 million in borrowings from an affiliate of the majority owner of the joint venture. The Company has agreed with the joint venture and the lender that, upon request by the lender, the Company will execute a guarantee for up to 49% of such borrowings. At December 31, 2005, the lender has not requested, and the Company has not provided, such guarantee.
