Item 8.01 Other Items.

As previously reported, the Registrants are fully indemnified by Rhodia, S.A and affiliates in connection with certain water duty resolutions issued by the Mexican National Waters Commission, or CNA, related to periods prior to the 2004 purchase of our business from Rhodia. The only pending CNA claims relate to the period 1998-2002 totaling approximately $24.4 million (at current exchange rates), which have been subject to appeal proceedings in Mexico since 2005.

We have learned that, on January 20, 2009, the Mexican Eighth Collegiate Circuit Court on Administrative Matters (First Circuit) issued a ruling reversing in part and remanding a decision issued in August 2008 by the Fiscal and Administrative Justice Court in favor of our subsidiary, Innophos Fosfatados S.A. de C.V. The 2008 decision nullified CNA resolutions seeking to apply higher fresh water rates to Fosfatados' Coatzacoalcos, Vera Cruz plant for the noted period. The appellate panel determined that, in reaching its decision, the lower court had not adequately addressed all proof submitted by the CNA as required under Mexican law, and ordered the case to be returned to the lower court for further review.

The appellate decision has not yet been served officially on Fosfatados, and no schedule for further proceedings in the lower tribunal has yet been established.

As noted above, we acquired our Mexican operations in August 2004 from affiliates of Rhodia, which has been providing the defense to the CNA resolutions under our purchase agreement. Subsequently, we obtained a judgment in the New York State courts confirming our right under that agreement to full indemnity from Rhodia for CNA water resolution-related liabilities arising prior to the acquisition.
