NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)

1.	Financial Statement Presentation

In the opinion of management, the accompanying consolidated financial statements of NewMarket Corporation and Subsidiaries contain all necessary adjustments for the fair presentation of, in all material respects, our consolidated financial position as of March 31, 2007, as well as our consolidated results of operations for the three-months ended March 31, 2007 and March 31, 2006 and our consolidated cash flows for the three-months ended March 31, 2007 and March 31, 2006. The financial statements are subject to normal year-end adjustments and do not include comprehensive footnotes. All adjustments are of a normal, recurring nature, unless otherwise disclosed. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and related notes included in the NewMarket Corporation Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2006 (2006 Annual Report), as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). The results of operations for the three-month period ended March 31, 2007 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year ending December 31, 2007. The December 31, 2006 consolidated balance sheet data was derived from audited financial statements, but does not include all disclosures required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Unless the context otherwise requires, all references to “we,” “us,” “our,” the “Company” and “NewMarket” are to NewMarket Corporation and its consolidated subsidiaries.

At both March 31, 2007 and December 31, 2006, we had a book overdraft for some of our disbursement cash accounts. A book overdraft represents transactions that have not cleared the bank accounts at the end of the reporting period. We transfer cash on an as-needed basis to fund these items as they clear the bank in subsequent periods.

Cash dividends for the three-months ended March 31, 2007 totaled 12.5 cents per share and were declared on February 22, 2007 and paid on April 2, 2007. Cash dividends declared for the three-months ended March 31, 2006 also totaled 12.5 cents per share and were declared on February 23, 2006 and paid April 3, 2006.

2.	Asset Retirement Obligations

We expect to make total contributions in 2007 of approximately $7 million for our domestic pension plans and $2 million for our domestic postretirement plans.

We made contributions of approximately $1.9 million for our foreign pension plans and approximately $20 thousand for a foreign postretirement plan during the three-months ended March 31, 2007. During 2007, we expect to make total contributions of approximately $8 million to our foreign pension plans and $100 thousand to our foreign postretirement plan.

The tables below present information on periodic benefit cost for our domestic and foreign pension and postretirement plans.

5.	Earnings Per Share

Basic and diluted earnings per share are calculated as shown in the table below. Options are not included in the computation of diluted earnings per share when the option exercise price exceeds the average market price of the underlying common share, as the impact on earnings per share would be anti-dilutive.

At March 31, 2006, there were outstanding options to purchase 50,000 shares of NewMarket common stock at an exercise price of $44.375 per share. For the three-months ended March 31, 2006, these options were not included in the computation of diluted earnings per share due to their anti-dilutive impact. At March 31, 2007, we had no anti-dilutive options that were excluded from the calculation of earnings per share.

	$	152,319		$	152,748

8.	Contractual Commitments and Contingencies

Except as discussed in the following paragraph, there have been no significant changes in our contractual commitments from those reported in our 2006 Annual Report.

On February 26, 2007, Foundry Park I, LLC (Foundry Park I), a wholly-owned subsidiary of NewMarket Development Corporation, agreed to an application with Principal Commercial Funding II, LLC for a mortgage loan in the approximate principal amount of $116 million related to the construction of a multi-story office building for MeadWestvaco Corporation (MeadWestvaco). We expect that the mortgage loan will be executed in 2009 at the completion of the construction. In addition, Foundry Park I entered into a rate lock agreement to lock an interest rate on $105 million of the above referenced application amount. The interest rate on the remaining $11 million of debt will be determined at a later date. NewMarket Corporation guaranteed the funding of the interest rate lock agreement.

Litigation

We are involved in legal proceedings that are incidental to our business and include administrative or judicial actions seeking remediation under environmental laws, such as Superfund. Some of these legal proceedings relate to environmental matters and involve governmental authorities. For further information see “Environmental” below.

While it is not possible to predict or determine with certainty the outcome of any legal proceeding, we believe the outcome of any of these proceedings, or all of them combined, will not result in a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial condition or results of operations.

Innospec Inc. - On August 16, 2006, Ethyl filed a request for arbitration against a subsidiary of Innospec Inc. (Innospec). This arbitration is related to a long-standing supply agreement that requires the Innospec subsidiary to supply Ethyl with TEL for resale by Ethyl in the United States (the U.S. Supply Agreement). The request was filed pursuant to the rules of the London Court of International Arbitration. Ethyl filed this request because it believes that Innospec has violated the U.S. Supply Agreement by attempting to increase the price it charges Ethyl for TEL in the United States in a manner not in accordance with the contract. As such, we have not recorded an accrual of these costs. The difference in prices that Innospec is claiming and has billed is approximately $1.7 million for product supplied through September 30, 2006. It is estimated that if the same factors were applied to TEL supplied through the first quarter 2007, the additional amount would be approximately $2.4 million. We have placed $1.7 million for product supplied through September 30, 2006 in an escrow account pending resolution of the arbitration. We are confident in our position and believe we will prevail.

After the commencement of the above arbitration, Ethyl received three requests for arbitration filed by three subsidiaries of Innospec. The Innospec requests were filed on October 2, 2006, pursuant to the rules of the London Court of International Arbitration and allegedly pursuant to long-standing marketing and supply agreements between Ethyl or its subsidiaries and subsidiaries of Innospec for the sale of TEL outside of the United States. Innospec is claiming the right to terminate the agreements and is seeking damages. Although these marketing and supply agreements relate only to TEL, Innospec contends that the agreements impose certain duties that were breached by the sales

and marketing of MMT^® in Iraq and South Africa by affiliates of Ethyl. Ethyl will vigorously defend the cases and believes it will ultimately prevail in these arbitrations. Therefore, no accrual has been recorded.

Environmental

During 2000, the EPA named us as a potentially responsible party (PRP) under Superfund law for the clean-up of soil and groundwater contamination at the Sauget Area 2 Site in Sauget, Illinois. Without admitting any fact, responsibility, fault, or liability in connection with this site, we are participating with other PRPs in site investigations and feasibility studies.

The Sauget Area 2 Site PRPs submitted a Remedial Investigation and Feasibility Study (RI/FS) to the EPA in early 2004. We have accrued our estimated proportional share of the expenses for the RI/FS. We also accrued our best estimate of our proportional share of the remediation liability proposed in that submission. The EPA did not accept the RI/FS. Through a series of submissions and meetings, the scope of the RI/FS has changed so that it is now scheduled to be submitted to the EPA in late 2007. The RI/FS work is ongoing and we believe it is not at a stage where any further conclusion can be drawn as to the remediation liability we may incur. We do not believe there is any additional information available as a basis for revision of the liability that we have established. The amount accrued for this site is not material.

At a former TEL plant site located in the state of Louisiana, we have substantially completed environmental remediation and will be monitoring the site for an extended period. The accrual for this site was $9 million at both March 31, 2007 and December 31, 2006. We based these amounts on the best estimate of future costs discounted at approximately 3% in both 2007 and 2006. We incorporated an inflation factor in determining the discount rate. The remaining environmental liabilities are not discounted. At a plant site in Houston, Texas, we have an accrual of $7 million for environmental remediation, dismantling, and decontamination at both March 31, 2007 and December 31, 2006. Included in this amount is $3 million at both March 31, 2007 and December 31, 2006 for site remediation.

We accrue for environmental remediation and monitoring activities for which costs can be reasonably estimated and are probable. These estimates are based on an assessment of the site, available clean-up methods, and prior experience in handling remediation. While we believe we are currently fully accrued for known environmental issues, it is possible that unexpected future costs could have a significant impact on our financial position and results of operations.

Our total accruals for environmental remediation were approximately $19 million at both March 31, 2007 and December 31, 2006. In addition to the accruals for environmental remediation, we also have accruals for dismantling and decommissioning costs of $3 million at both March 31, 2007 and December 31, 2006.

Accumulated other comprehensive loss	$	(45,230	)	$	(47,165	)

10.	Income Taxes

We adopted the provisions of FASB Interpretation No. 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes,” (FIN 48) on January 1, 2007. As a result of the implementation of FIN 48, we recognized no material adjustment in the liability for unrecognized income tax benefits. At the adoption date of January 1, 2007 and at March 31, 2007, we had $2.9 million of gross unrecognized tax benefits. Of that amount, $2.5 million would affect our effective tax rate if recognized.

We recognize accrued interest and penalties associated with uncertain tax positions as part of other income, net on our Consolidated Statements of Income. As of January 1, 2007, we had approximately $500 thousand of accrued interest related to uncertain tax positions.

We expect the amount of unrecognized tax benefits to change in the next 12 months; however, we do not expect the change to be material.

Our U.S. subsidiaries join in the filing of a U.S. federal consolidated income tax return. The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) concluded its examination of our consolidated federal income tax

returns for the years 2001 through 2003 and issued final Revenue Agents Reports (RAR) during 2006 for these years. The U.S. federal statute of limitations remains open for the years 2004 and forward. There are no years currently under examination by the IRS. Foreign and U.S. state jurisdictions have statutes of limitations generally ranging from three to five years. Years still open to examination by foreign tax authorities in major jurisdictions include, the United Kingdom (2003 and forward), Singapore (2001 and forward), Japan (2002 and forward), Belgium (2005 and forward), and Canada (2002 and forward). We are currently under examination in various U.S. state and foreign jurisdictions.

11.	Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

In September 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements” (SFAS 157). The standard defines fair value, outlines a framework for measuring fair value, and details the required disclosures about fair value measurements. The standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. We are evaluating the impact of the adoption of SFAS 157 on our financial statements.

In February 2007, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 159, “The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities – Including an amendment of FASB Statement No. 115” (SFAS 159). SFAS 159 permits companies to choose to measure certain financial instruments and other items at fair value. SFAS 159 also establishes presentation and disclosure requirements designed to facilitate comparison between entities that choose different measurement attributes for similar types of assets and liabilities. The standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. We are evaluating the impact of the adoption of SFAS 159 on our financial statements.

12.	Consolidating Financial Information

The 7.125% senior notes due 2016 are fully and unconditionally guaranteed by certain of our subsidiaries (Guarantor Subsidiaries) on a joint and several unsecured senior basis. The Guarantor Subsidiaries include all of our existing and future wholly-owned domestic restricted subsidiaries. The Guarantor Subsidiaries and the subsidiaries that do not guarantee the senior notes (the Non-Guarantor Subsidiaries) are wholly-owned by NewMarket Corporation (the Parent Company). The Guarantor Subsidiaries consist of the following:


Ethyl Corporation		Afton Chemical Corporation
Ethyl Asia Pacific LLC		Afton Chemical Asia Pacific LLC
Ethyl Canada Holdings, Inc.		Afton Chemical Canada Holdings, Inc.
Ethyl Export Corporation		Afton Chemical Japan Holdings, Inc.
Ethyl Interamerica Corporation		Afton Chemical Additives Corporation
Ethyl Ventures, Inc.		NewMarket Services Corporation
Interamerica Terminals Corporation		The Edwin Cooper Corporation
Afton Chemical Intangibles LLC		Old Town LLC
NewMarket Investment Company		NewMarket Development Corporation
Foundry Park I, LLC		Foundry Park II, LLC
Gamble’s Hill, LLC		Gamble’s Hill Lab, LLC
Gamble’s Hill Landing, LLC		Gamble’s Hill Third Street, LLC
Gamble’s Hill Tredegar, LLC

We conduct all of our business and derive primarily all of our income from our subsidiaries. Therefore, our ability to make payments on the senior notes or other obligations is dependent on the earnings and the distribution of funds from our subsidiaries. There are no restrictions on the ability of any of our domestic subsidiaries to transfer funds to the Parent Company.

The following sets forth the Consolidating Statements of Income for the three-months ended March 31, 2007 and March 31, 2006, Consolidating Balance Sheets as of March 31, 2007 and December 31, 2006 and Condensed Consolidating Statements of Cash Flows for the three-months ended March 31, 2007 and March 31, 2006 for the Parent Company, the Guarantor Subsidiaries and Non-Guarantor Subsidiaries.

14.	Subsequent Event

On April 26, 2007, our Board of Directors declared a quarterly dividend in the amount of 12.5 cents per share on our common stock. The dividend is payable July 1, 2007 to shareholders of record at the close of business on June 15, 2007.

On April 9, 2007, Foundry Park I entered into a loan agreement to borrow up to $7 million. The loan bears interest at LIBOR plus 140 basis points and is due on June 30, 2007. The loan is a bridge loan for cash requirements related to the construction of the office building for MeadWestvaco and will be repaid when the construction loan is finalized in the second quarter 2007.

ITEM 2.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

Forward-Looking Statements

The following discussion contains forward-looking statements about future events and expectations within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. We have based these forward-looking statements on our current expectations and projections about future results. When we use words in this document, such as “anticipates,” “intends,” “plans,” “believes,” “estimates,” “expects,” and similar expressions, we do so to identify forward-looking statements. Examples of forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, statements we make regarding future prospects of growth in the petroleum additives market, the level of future declines in the market for TEL, other trends in the petroleum additives market, our ability to maintain or increase our market share, and our future capital expenditure levels.

We believe our forward-looking statements are based on reasonable expectations and assumptions, within the bounds of what we know about our business and operations. However, we offer no assurance that actual results will not differ materially from our expectations due to uncertainties and factors that are difficult to predict and beyond our control.

These factors include, but are not limited to, timing of sales orders, gain or loss of significant customers, competition from other manufacturers, resolution of environmental liabilities, changes in the demand for our products, significant changes in new product introduction, increases in product cost, Innospec’s noncompliance with the terms of the TEL marketing and supply agreement, our failure to prevail in our arbitrations with Innospec, the impact of fluctuations in foreign exchange rates on reported results of operations, changes in various markets, geopolitical risks in certain of the countries in which we conduct business, the impact of consolidation of the petroleum additives industry, and other factors detailed from time to time in the reports we file with the SEC, including the risk factors in Item 1A, “Risk Factors,” in the 2006 Annual Report. Readers are urged to review and consider carefully the disclosure we make in our filings with the SEC.

You should keep in mind that any forward-looking statement made by us in this discussion or elsewhere speaks only as of the date on which we make it. New risks and uncertainties arise from time to time, and it is impossible for us to predict these events or how they may affect us. We have no duty to, and do not intend to, update or revise the forward-looking statements in this discussion after the date hereof, except as may be required by law. In light of these risks and uncertainties, you should keep in mind that the events described in any forward-looking statement, made in this discussion or elsewhere, might not occur.

Overview

First-quarter 2007 reflected improvements in net sales, as well as operating profit in the petroleum additives segment as compared to first-quarter 2006. We have introduced more cost-effective product solutions for our customers and have realized improved margins from these product solutions in our results. We have also realized the benefit from price increases which were instituted during 2006. Our production facilities continue to operate at high levels. The TEL segment results were improved over first-quarter last year, but we continue to expect lower results for the entire year.

Our balance sheet remains strong at March 31, 2007, and we continue to have no outstanding bank debt. We have also begun to recognize the benefit of our new debt structure through lower interest and financing expense.

Results of Operations

Net Sales

Our consolidated net sales for the first-quarter 2007 amounted to $309.8 million, representing an increase of 3% from the 2006 level of $301.9 million. The table below shows our consolidated net sales by segment.

Net Sales by Segment

(in millions)


	Three Months Ended March 31
	2007		2006
Petroleum additives	$	307.2	$	299.5
Tetraethyl lead		2.6		2.4

Consolidated net sales	$	309.8	$	301.9

Petroleum Additives Segment

Petroleum additives net sales in the first-quarter 2007 of $307.2 million were up $7.7 million, or approximately 3%, from $299.5 million in the first-quarter 2006. Total shipments for the first-quarter 2007 were down approximately 10% compared to first-quarter 2006. While first-quarter 2007 shipments were slightly below our expectations, the volumes were within the range of normal variations that are typical for this time of year. We believe there were some inventory adjustments made by our customers over the past two quarters, and we expect shipments to improve in the second quarter.

Although the volume of product shipments had a negative impact on net sales, the overall mix of products sold and higher selling prices resulted in the increase in net sales between the two first-quarter periods. We continue, through our research and development efforts, to produce more efficient product formulations, which results in both a different mix of products sold, as well as lower volumes shipped. These more efficient product formulations result in more cost-effective product solutions for our customers, as well as higher margin product sales for us.

The approximate components of the petroleum additives increase in net sales of $7.7 million between the two first-quarter periods are shown below (in millions):


	Three Months
Period ended March 31, 2006	$	299.5
Change in shipments and product mix		(19.4	)
Changes in selling prices, net of unfavorable foreign currency impact		27.1

Period ended March 31, 2007	$	307.2

Tetraethyl Lead Segment

Most of the TEL marketing activity is through marketing agreements with Innospec, under which we do not record the sales transactions. Therefore, the TEL net sales shown in the table above are

those made by our wholly-owned subsidiary, Ethyl, in areas not covered by the Innospec marketing agreements. The sales made in areas not covered by the Innospec marketing agreements are minor compared to the TEL sales made through the Innospec marketing agreements. The TEL net sales for the first-quarter 2007 were essentially the same as the 2006 period.

Segment Operating Profit

NewMarket evaluates the performance of the petroleum additives business and the TEL business based on segment operating profit. NewMarket Services Corporation (NewMarket Services) departments and other expenses are billed to Afton Corporation (Afton) and Ethyl based on the services provided under the holding company structure pursuant to services agreements between NewMarket Services and Afton and NewMarket Services and Ethyl. Depreciation on segment property, plant, and equipment, amortization of segment intangible assets, and the prepayment for services are included in the operating profit of each segment.

The table below reports operating profit by segment for the three-months ended March 31, 2007 and March 31, 2006. The “Contract manufacturing and other” classification in the table below primarily represents certain manufacturing operations that Ethyl provides to Afton.

Petroleum Additives Segment

First-quarter 2007 vs. First-quarter 2006 - Petroleum additives operating profit improved to $29.0 million from $25.7 million when comparing the 2007 and 2006 first-quarter periods. The improved profit is reflected across most product lines.

Net sales were approximately 3% higher, while total shipments were down about 10% when comparing first-quarter 2007 and first-quarter 2006. Despite the lower volumes shipped, the higher operating profit resulted from several factors. We are recognizing the benefit of our progress in restoring margins on certain products through the introduction of more cost effective product formulations for our customers. These improved product formulations lower both our cost, as well as our customers’ costs. We are also recognizing the benefit of price increases achieved during 2006. In addition to the improved pricing, we are selling a product mix with higher profit margins.

Selling, general, and administrative (SG&A) expenses were approximately $900 thousand higher when comparing the two first-quarter periods. The increase was primarily the result of higher personnel-related costs. In addition, research, development, and testing (R&D) expenses increased $2.2 million from the first-quarter 2006. As a percentage of net sales, SG&A expenses combined with R&D expenses, increased from 12.3% for the first-quarter 2006 to 13.0% for the same period

this year. This increase reflects higher combined SG&A and R&D expenses, partially offset by the increase in net sales.

TEL Segment

Results of our TEL segment include the operating profit contribution from our marketing agreements with Innospec, as well as certain TEL operations not included in the Innospec marketing agreements.

The operating profit from our marketing agreements for the first-quarter 2007 was $3.5 million, which was $2.1 million higher than the first-quarter last year. The improvement in operating profit in first quarter 2007 reflects both improved pricing and higher shipments. However, we believe the increase in shipments is predominantly due to the timing of customer orders. We continue to expect lower shipments for 2007 as compared to 2006. We also expect the improvement in pricing in 2007 will be completely offset by the anticipated reduction in shipments resulting in lower TEL earnings in 2007 than in 2006. The TEL market continues to decline as customers discontinue use of the product. Amortization of the prepayment for services was approximately $400 thousand lower for the first-quarter 2007 as compared to first-quarter 2006. This reduction in amortization reflects the declining balance method of amortization.

Other TEL operations not included in the marketing agreements were approximately $500 thousand lower when comparing first-quarter 2007 to first-quarter 2006. The other TEL operations results for both the first-quarter periods include charges for environmental sites, as well as premises asbestos reserves. The first-quarter 2007 reflects slightly higher asbestos and environmental charges when compared to first-quarter 2006.

See Part II, Item 1, “Legal Proceedings,” for information on the arbitration proceedings between Ethyl and Innospec.

The following discussion references the Consolidated Financial Statements beginning on page 3 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

Interest and Financing Expenses, Net

First-quarter 2007 interest and financing expenses were $3.0 million, while first-quarter 2006 interest and financing expenses were $3.9 million. The decrease reflects lower interest, as well as lower fees and amortization of deferred financing costs resulting from the restructuring of our debt. In December 2006, we purchased substantially all of our 8.875% senior notes in a tender offer and issued $150 million of 7.125% senior notes. Our total debt was essentially unchanged between the two first-quarter periods.

Other Income, Net

Other income, net was $400 thousand income for the first-quarter 2007 compared to $600 thousand income for the first-quarter 2006. Both periods were comprised of a number of individually immaterial items.

Income Taxes

Income taxes were $8.5 million for the first-quarter 2007 and $6.9 million for the first-quarter 2006. The effective tax rate was 34.4% for the first-quarter 2007 and 33.4% for the first-quarter 2006. The increase in income before income taxes from 2006 to 2007 resulted in an increase of $1.4 million in income taxes in the first-quarter 2007, while the increase in the effective tax rate between

2006 and 2007 resulted in an additional increase in tax expense of $200 thousand. The 2006 income tax rate includes a favorable impact from the Extraterritorial Income Exclusion benefit. For 2007 and future years, no benefit will be included as the benefit has been repealed by Congress.

Our deferred taxes are in a net asset position. Based on our current projections, we believe that we will recover the full benefit of our deferred tax assets, and have therefore not recorded a valuation allowance.

Net Income

Our net income for the first-quarter 2007 was $16.2 million or $0.93 per diluted share. This compares to net income for first-quarter 2006 of $13.8 million or $0.79 per diluted share.

Cash Flows, Financial Condition, and Liquidity

Cash and cash equivalents at March 31, 2007 were $72.9 million, which was an increase of $12.6 million since December 31, 2006 and included a $400 thousand favorable impact from foreign currency translation. Cash flows from operating activities for the three-months 2007 were $28.2 million. We used these cash flows to fund $10.9 million of capital expenditures, $2.2 million of dividends on our common stock, $2.2 million for a payment on the fourth quarter 2006 acquisition of an intangible asset, and $1.1 million for a deposit on an interest rate guarantee related to the construction of the office building by Foundry Park I. Our book overdraft increased $800 thousand.

Excluding the expenditures for the construction of the office building by Foundry Park I, we expect that cash from operations, together with borrowing available under our senior credit facility, will continue to be sufficient to cover our operating expenses and planned capital expenditures for the foreseeable future. For more information on the construction of the office building by Foundry Park I, see “Recent Developments” in Part I, Item 1 of our 2006 Annual Report.

Cash

We had restricted cash of $200 thousand at both March 31, 2007 and December 31, 2006. In addition, we also had restricted funds of $1.1 million at March 31, 2007 and $1.0 million at December 31, 2006, which were recorded as a long-term asset in other assets. Of these total restricted cash and funds, $700 thousand at both March 31, 2007 and December 31, 2006 was cash received from Metropolitan Life Insurance Company (Metropolitan) during 2005 and 2003. The funds from Metropolitan are used to reduce the employee portion of retiree health benefits costs. The remaining restricted cash and funds for both periods represents monies related to the issuance of a European bank guarantee.

Debt

Except for the February 2007 redemption of $250 thousand of the remaining outstanding 8.875% senior notes, our debt position is substantially unchanged since December 31, 2006. At March 31, 2007, we have outstanding senior notes in the aggregate principal amount of $150 million that bear interest at a fixed rate of 7.125% and are due in 2016. In April 2007, we commenced an offer to exchange up to $150 million of 7.125% senior notes due 2016 that have been registered under the Securities Act of 1933 for a like principal amount of our outstanding 7.125% senior notes that were issued in December 2006 and that were not registered under the Securities Act.

We also have a $100 million revolving credit facility that bears interest at variable rates and is for general corporate purposes. The revolving credit facility includes an option to increase the commitment amount by $50 million, and also includes a $50 million sub-facility for letters of credit. The facility matures on December 21, 2011. There were no borrowings outstanding at March 31, 2007 under the revolving credit facility. We had outstanding letters of credit of $3.5 million at March 31, 2007, resulting in the unused portion of the revolver amounting to $96.5 million.

Both the senior notes and the revolving credit facility contain covenants, representation, and events of default that management considers typical of credit agreements of this nature. We were in compliance with these covenants as of both March 31, 2007 and December 31, 2006.

We had total long-term debt, including the current portion, of $153.0 million at March 31, 2007, representing a decrease of approximately $400 thousand in our total debt since December 31, 2006. The decrease resulted from the redemption of the remaining $250 thousand of 8.875% senior notes and payments on capital leases.

As a percentage of total capitalization (total long-term debt and shareholders’ equity), our total debt decreased from 33.7% at the end of 2006 to 32.5% at March 31, 2007. The lower percentage was primarily the result of the increase in shareholders’ equity due to earnings, as well as the small pay-down of debt. Normally, we repay any outstanding long-term debt with cash from operations and with proceeds from occasional sales of business units, plant sites, or other assets.

On February 26, 2007, Foundry Park I agreed to an application with Principal Commercial Funding II, LLC for a mortgage loan in the approximate principal amount of $116 million related to the construction of a multi-story office building for MeadWestvaco. We expect that the mortgage loan will be executed in 2009 at the completion of the construction. For more information on the construction of the office building by Foundry Park I, see “Recent Developments” in Part I, Item 1 of the 2006 Annual Report. In addition, Foundry Park I entered into a rate lock agreement to lock an interest rate on $105 million of the above referenced application amount. The interest rate on the remaining $11 million of debt will be determined at a later date. NewMarket Corporation guaranteed the funding of the interest rate lock agreement.

Capital Expenditures

Excluding the expenditures for the office building by Foundry Park I, we funded capital expenditures of $10.3 million through March 31, 2007. We estimate our total capital spending during 2007, excluding the capital expenditures by Foundry Park I, will be approximately $30 million. We expect to continue to finance capital spending through cash on hand and cash provided from operations, together with borrowing available under our senior credit facility.

We funded projected-related capital expenditures of $700 thousand related to the Foundry Park I project during first-quarter 2007. We expect to borrow 85% of the total cost of construction. For more information on the construction of the office building by Foundry Park I, see “Recent Developments” in Part I, Item 1 of our 2006 Annual Report.

Working Capital

We had working capital at March 31, 2007, of $310.0 million, resulting in a current ratio of 3.06 to 1. At December 31, 2006, working capital was $301.8 million and the current ratio was 2.88 to 1. The increase in working capital primarily reflects higher cash and lower accrued expenses, offset by decreases in accounts receivable and inventories. The reduction in accrued expenses results primarily from the payment of certain expenses, including personnel-related and product-related costs. The decrease in inventories results from the planned reduction of certain products, while the decrease in accounts receivables results from the collection of an outstanding income tax receivable, as well as a reduction in the days our sales are outstanding.

Critical Accounting Policies

It is our goal to clearly present our financial information in a manner that enhances the understanding of our sources of earnings and our financial condition. We do this by including the information required by the SEC, as well as additional information that gives further insight into our financial operations.

This report, as well as the 2006 Annual Report, includes a discussion of our accounting principles, as well as methods and estimates used in the preparation of our financial statements. We believe these discussions and financial statements fairly represent the financial position and operating results of our company in all material respects. The purpose of this portion of our discussion is to

further emphasize some of the more critical areas where a significant change in facts and circumstances in our operating and financial environment might cause a change in reported financial results.

TEL Marketing Agreements Services

As discussed in the 2006 Annual Report, we have made certain prepayments related to our TEL marketing agreements. The unamortized total at March 31, 2007 for these prepayments was $7.2 million. We are amortizing these costs on an accelerated basis using a declining balance method over the life of the contracts. We believe this is the appropriate methodology and time period for this amortization based on the facts and circumstances of our TEL operations and the estimated product life of TEL. The customer base of TEL is significantly concentrated in a few countries and when conditions change that cause a shorter product life or other restrictions outside our control, the amortization period is adjusted accordingly. Any adjustment to the amortization period would impact earnings, but would have no effect on cash flows. We continue to keep our accounting for these prepayments current with the business conditions.

Intangibles, Net of Amortization

We also had certain identifiable intangibles amounting to $50.2 million at March 31, 2007. These intangibles relate to our petroleum additives business and are being amortized over periods with up to 9 ¹/2 years of remaining life. We continue to assess the market related to these intangibles, as well as their specific values, and believe the amortization periods and values are appropriate. We also evaluate these intangibles for any potential impairment when significant events or circumstances occur that might impair the value of these assets. These evaluations continue to support the value at which these identifiable intangibles are carried on our financial statements. However, if conditions were to deteriorate substantially in this market, it could possibly cause a reduction in the periods of this amortization charge or could possibly result in a noncash write-off of a portion of the intangibles’ carrying value. A reduction in the amortization period would have no effect on cash flows. We do not anticipate such a change in the market conditions.

Environmental

We have made disclosure of our environmental issues in Part I, Item 1 of the 2006 Annual Report, as well as in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in the 2006 Annual Report. We have made additional disclosures in Part I, Item 1 of this Form 10-Q. We believe our environmental accruals are appropriate for the exposures and regulatory guidelines under which we currently operate. While we currently do not anticipate significant changes to the many factors that could impact our environmental requirements, we continue to keep our accruals consistent with these requirements as they change.

Also, as noted in the discussion of “Legal Proceedings” in Part II, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and Part I, Item 3 of the 2006 Annual Report, while it is not possible to predict or determine the outcome of any legal proceeding, it is our opinion, based on our current knowledge, that we will not experience materially adverse effects on our results of operations or financial condition as a result of any pending or threatened proceeding.

Pension Plans and Other Postretirement Benefits

We use significant assumptions to record the impact of the pension and postretirement plans in the financial statements. These assumptions include the discount rate, expected long-term rate of return, rate of compensation increase, and health care cost trend rate. A change in any one of these assumptions could result in different results for the plans. We develop these assumptions after considering available information that we deem relevant. Information is provided on the pension and postretirement plans in Note 18 of the 2006 Annual Report. In addition, further disclosure on the impact of changes in these assumptions is provided in the “Financial Position and Liquidity” section of Part II, Item 7 of the 2006 Annual Report.

Income Taxes

We file consolidated U.S. federal income and both consolidated and individual state income tax returns, as well as individual foreign income tax returns, under which assumptions may be made to determine the deductibility of certain costs. We make estimates related to the impact of tax positions taken on our financial statements when we believe the tax position is likely to be upheld on audit. In addition, we make certain assumptions in the determination of the estimated future recovery of deferred tax assets.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

Outlook

We continue in a strong financial position today. Our overall strategy remains unchanged. It is our intent to leverage our financial strength to grow the business, with acquisitions being an area of primary interest. Our primary focus in the acquisition area remains on the petroleum additives industry. We believe that in the current mergers and acquisition environment, this industry will provide the greatest opportunity for a good return on investment while minimizing risk. As we have stated in the past, we remain patient in this pursuit. We believe we have many internal opportunities for growth in the near term, from both geographical and product line extensions. We will wait and make the right acquisition for our company when the opportunity arises. Meanwhile, we will build cash on our balance sheet and continue to evaluate all alternative uses for that cash.

Early in 2007, we announced our intention to develop some of the downtown Richmond property that we own by constructing a multi-story office building for MeadWestvaco Corporation. We are into the pre-construction phase of the building. We have assembled an excellent team to assist us in the development and construction. We expect to borrow approximately 85% of the cost of construction and will be capitalizing the cost and interest throughout the building project. We expect to spend about $5 million on the project in 2007. We anticipate that the project will be completed by the end of 2009, at which time we expect it to be accretive to our earnings.

Petroleum Additives

We had excellent performance from this segment in the first quarter. We continue to focus on growing our business by helping our customers be successful in their marketplace. Our strategy is twofold: cost management in those areas that are commodity-like in their characteristics through reformulations; and new component introduction and growth through product differentiation in the other areas where margins are more attractive.

This is the approach that we expect to follow throughout the year. There are many variables which will determine the ultimate profit achieved for the year. Raw material costs remain a significant unknown. We continue to expect significant volatility during 2007 in the cost of raw materials that are related to crude oil and natural gas. Base oil pricing has decreased somewhat at the beginning of 2007, but it is unknown if this reduction will be sustained throughout the year. Prices of other raw materials continue to be substantially unchanged. In fact, many raw materials that we purchase tend to be governed by the supply and demand balance in their own markets, which, on the whole, are currently in a tight supply position.

Our plants continue to operate at very high rates, and we anticipate that it will remain that way for the balance of this year. As is a constant feature of our business, the costs continue to escalate. Our R&D investment increased by about 7% in 2006 over 2005, and we expect it to increase again this year. The newly adopted REACH legislation in Europe will further increase our costs.

We expect to continue on the successes of last year and the first quarter of this year and expect that petroleum additives will have a higher operating profit in 2007 than 2006.

TEL

This segment took a significant step-down in its overall contribution to our results during 2006. This product is being phased-out around the world and we expect it to remain a very small contributor to our overall profits. Our plans are to continue to manage costs within this business and to raise prices to reflect the economic value of the product. The profits of the first quarter 2007 do not change our overall view for the outlook of this segment.

ITEM 3.

Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

Except for foreign currency risk, as discussed below, there have been no significant changes in our market risk from the information provided in the 2006 Annual Report.

During the second quarter 2006, we entered into $15.4 million of Euro-denominated forward contracts to minimize currency exposure from expected cash flows from foreign operations. The contracts have maturity dates in 2006 and 2007. At March 31, 2007, there were $2.7 million remaining of these Euro-denominated contracts. With other variables held constant, a hypothetical 10% adverse change in the March 31, 2007 forward Euro rates would have resulted in a decrease of about $400 thousand in the value of the contracts.

In April 2007, we entered into $16.1 million Euro-denominated forward contracts to minimize currency exposure from expected cash flows from foreign operations. The contracts have maturity dates from June 2007 to May 2008.

ITEM 4.

Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

We maintain a system of internal control over financial reporting to provide reasonable, but not absolute, assurance of the reliability of the financial records and the protection of assets. Our controls and procedures include written policies and procedures, careful selection and training of qualified personnel, and an internal audit program. We use a third-party firm, separate from our independent registered public accounting firm, to assist with internal audit services.

We work closely with the business groups, operations personnel, and information technology to ensure transactions are recorded properly. Environmental and legal staff are consulted to determine the appropriateness of our environmental and legal liabilities for each reporting period. We regularly review the regulations and rule changes that affect our financial disclosures.

Our disclosure control procedures include signed representation letters from our regional officers, as well as senior management.

We have formed a Financial Disclosure Committee, which is made up of the president and senior vice president of Afton, the president of Ethyl, the general counsel of NewMarket and the controller of NewMarket. The committee, as well as regional management, makes representations with regard to the financial statements that, to the best of their knowledge, the report does not contain any misstatement of a material fact or omit a material fact that is necessary to make the statements not misleading with respect to the periods covered by the report.

The committee and the regional management also represent, to the best of their knowledge, that the financial statements and other financial information included in the report fairly present, in all material respects, the financial condition, results of operations and cash flows of the company as of and for the periods presented in the report.

Pursuant to Rule 13a-15(b) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the Exchange Act), we carried out an evaluation, with the participation of our management, including our principal executive officer and our principal financial officer, of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined under Rule 13a-15(e)) under the Exchange Act as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based upon that evaluation, our principal executive officer and our principal financial officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are effective.

There has been no change in our internal control over financial reporting, as such term is defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Exchange Act, during the quarter ended March 31, 2007, that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II – Other Information

ITEM 1.

Legal Proceedings

Innospec Inc. - On August 16, 2006, Ethyl filed a request for arbitration against a subsidiary of Innospec. This arbitration is related to a long-standing supply agreement that requires the Innospec subsidiary to supply Ethyl with TEL for resale by Ethyl in the United States (the U.S. Supply Agreement). The request was filed pursuant to the rules of the London Court of International Arbitration. Ethyl filed this request because it believes that Innospec has violated the U.S. Supply Agreement by attempting to increase the price it charges Ethyl for TEL in the United States in a manner not in accordance with the contract. The difference in prices that Innospec is claiming and has billed is approximately $1.7 million for product supplied through September 30, 2006. It is estimated that if the same factors were applied to TEL supplied through the first quarter 2007, the additional amount would be approximately $2.4 million. We have placed $1.7 million for product supplied through September 30, 2006 in an escrow account pending resolution of the arbitration. We are confident in our position and believe we will prevail.

After the commencement of the above arbitration, Ethyl received three requests for arbitration filed by three subsidiaries of Innospec. The Innospec requests were filed on October 2, 2006, pursuant to the rules of the London Court of International Arbitration and allegedly pursuant to long-standing marketing and supply agreements between Ethyl or its subsidiaries and subsidiaries of Innospec for the sale of TEL outside the United States. Innospec is claiming the right to terminate the agreements and is seeking damages. Although these marketing and supply agreements relate only to TEL, Innospec contends that the agreements impose certain duties that were breached by the sales and marketing of MMT^® in Iraq and South Africa by affiliates of Ethyl. Ethyl will vigorously defend the cases and believes it will ultimately prevail in these arbitrations.
