Exopack Holding Corp. and Subsidiaries
Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
(unaudited)
 
1.
Organization, Acquisitions and Basis of Presentation
Exopack Holding Corp. and subsidiaries (the “Company”) was formed in October of 2005 through the acquisition and consolidation of three flexible packaging businesses, including Exopack Holding Corporation (“Exopack”), Cello-Foil Products, Inc. (“Cello-Foil”), and The Packaging Group (“TPG”). Following this acquisition and consolidation, the Company is wholly-owned by Exopack Key Holdings, LLC, which is a wholly-owned subsidiary of CPG Finance, Inc. (“CPG”), an affiliate of Sun Capital Partners, Inc. (“Sun Capital”).
The Company operates 19 manufacturing facilities located throughout the United States, United Kingdom, and Canada and operates one distribution warehouse in China. The Company operates four manufacturing facilities in the pet food and specialty packaging segment, all of which are owned properties. The Company operates seven manufacturing facilities in the consumer food and specialty packaging segment, of which the Company leases two, including one manufacturing facility in Ontario, Canada, and owns the remaining five facilities. The Company operates six facilities in the performance packaging segment, of which the Company leases two and owns the remaining four facilities. The Company operates two manufacturing facilities and one distribution warehouse in the coated products segment, all of which the Company leases, including one manufacturing facility in North Wales, United Kingdom and one warehouse in Guangzhou, China. Subsequent to June 30, 2011, the Company closed its manufacturing facility located in Longview, Texas, and the Company is currently in negotiations to sell this facility.
On August 6, 2007, the Company acquired 100% of the membership interests of InteliCoat Technologies Image Products Matthews, LLC and 100% of the outstanding shares of its affiliate, InteliCoat Technologies EF Holdco, Ltd. (collectively, “Electronic and Engineered Films Business” or “EEF”), and also acquired certain assets and assumed certain liabilities of other EEF entities (the “EEF Acquisition”). EEF, through its parent companies prior to the EEF Acquisition, was previously controlled by an affiliate of Sun Capital. The Company subsequently renamed this acquired EEF business Exopack Advanced Coatings (“EAC”).
On November 28, 2007, the Company acquired certain assets and assumed certain liabilities of DuPont Liquid Packaging System’s performance films business segment (“Liqui-Box”), including its Whitby, Ontario, Canada operating facility. Prior to the acquisition, the Company used Liqui-Box as a vendor for one of its Canadian facilities. The Company subsequently renamed this acquired Liqui-Box business Exopack Performance Films (“EPF”).
Exopack Meat, Cheese and Specialty Acquisition
On July 13, 2010, the Company completed the acquisition of certain assets and liabilities of a packaging business previously operated by Bemis Company, Inc. The acquired business, which is referred to in this report as Exopack Meat, Cheese and Specialty (“EMCS”) involves the manufacture and sale of certain packaging products in the United States and Canada, including flexible-packaging rollstock used for chunk, sliced or shredded natural cheeses packaged for retail sale and flexible-packaging shrink bags used for fresh meat. EMCS is included within the Company’s consumer food and specialty packaging segment (see Note 12). The acquisition of EMCS provided the Company the unique opportunity to gain a position in the meat and cheese packaging sector and expand the Company’s product offerings in the consumer food and specialty packaging segment. The purchase price paid by the Company was approximately $82.1 million. The Company expensed approximately $4.6 million of acquisition costs related to the EMCS acquisition during the year ended December 31, 2010.
The Company funded the purchase price with proceeds from a term loan that was repaid on September 24, 2010 using proceeds from the issuance of additional 11.25% senior notes due 2014 (see Note 5).
Third party net sales and operating income related to EMCS were approximately $36.0 million and $2.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2011. Third party net sales and operating income related to EMCS were approximately $73.4 million and $4.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2011.
The net acquisition cost of $82.1 million has been accounted for under the provisions of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) guidance related to the purchase method of accounting and includes the following allocations:

Proforma net sales and operating income/loss have been calculated as though the EMCS acquisition date was January 1, 2010. Pro forma net sales and net loss for the three months ended June 30, 2010 were approximately $216.3 million and$2.4 million, respectively. Pro forma net sales and net loss for the six months ended June 30, 2010 were approximately $426.4 million and $2.1 million, respectively.
The unaudited pro forma financial information presented above does not purport to be indicative of the future results of operations of the combined businesses.
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared by the Company in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for interim financial information and pursuant to the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Accordingly, certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America have been condensed or omitted from this report. It is management’s opinion, however, that all material adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, unless otherwise noted) have been made which are necessary for a fair statement of the Company’s financial position, results of operations and cash flows. The results for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for any other interim period, for the fiscal year or for any future period.
The consolidated balance sheet at December 31, 2010 has been derived from the audited financial statements at that date but does not include all of the information and disclosures required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for complete financial statements. For further information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2010.

Variable Interest Entity
During 2009, the Company entered into a joint venture with INDEVCO Group, a Lebanese-based manufacturer (“INDEVCO”). The Company determined that the joint venture is a variable interest entity (“VIE”) under FASB guidance related to accounting for variable interest entities and that the Company is not the primary beneficiary of the VIE. The VIE consists of a manufacturing operation, located within an existing manufacturing facility owned by INDEVCO in Lebanon, used to co-extrude polyethylene film for use in flexible packaging. During 2010, the VIE purchased and installed the necessary equipment and production commenced. The Company’s maximum exposure to loss as a result of its involvement with the unconsolidated VIE is limited to the Company’s recorded investment in this VIE, which was approximately $639,000 at June 30, 2011. For the three month period ending June 30, 2011, the Company recognized approximately $32,000 as its share of income from the joint venture's operations and received loan payments of approximately $63,000. For the six month period ending June 30, 2011, the Company recognized approximately $44,000 as its share of the loss of the joint venture’s operations and received loan payments of approximately $85,000. The Company may be subject to additional losses to the extent of any financial support that the Company provides in the future.

2.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In June 2011, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2011-05, Presentation of Comprehensive Income, requiring most entities to present items of net income and other comprehensive income either in one continuous statement - referred to as the statement of comprehensive income - or in two separate, but consecutive, statements of net income and other comprehensive income. The new requirements are effective from the beginning of 2012 for calendar year-end public entities with full retrospective application required. The Company does not expect this guidance to have a significant impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.

Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets
Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of net assets acquired in purchase business combinations. The Company had total goodwill of approximately $69.7 million at June 30, 2011 and $69.6 million at December 31, 2010. The increase in goodwill at June 30, 2011 was due solely to the change in the exchange rate between the United States dollar and the British pound during the period.
At June 30, 2011, approximately $26.2 million, $19.2 million, $21.6 million and $2.7 million of goodwill was assigned to the pet food and specialty packaging segment, the consumer food and specialty packaging segment, the performance packaging segment and the coated products segment, respectively, which are aligned with the Company’s four reporting units. Goodwill, with the exception of approximately $3.3 million and $1.9 million assigned to the Company’s consumer food and specialty packaging and coated products segments, respectively, is not deductible for tax purposes.

The increase in gross intangible assets during the six months ended June 30, 2011 was due solely to the change in the exchange rate between the United States dollar and the British pound during the period. Amortization expense for definite-lived intangible assets for the three months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010 was approximately $948,000 and $477,000, respectively, and for the six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010 was approximately $1.9 million and $1.0 million, respectively. Estimated future annual amortization for definite-lived customer lists, patents and trademarks and trade names is approximately $1.9 million for the remainder of 2011, approximately $3.8 million for each of the years 2012 through 2014 and approximately $3.5 million for 2015.

Financing Arrangements

2011 Recapitalization Transactions

On May 31, 2011, the Company completed a series of transactions (the "Recapitalization Transactions") that recapitalized the Company's indebtedness. These transactions include:

The entry into a six-year $350.0 million senior secured term loan facility;
The amendment and restatement of the Company's existing revolving credit facility;
The private placement of $235.0 million principal amount of 10% Senior Notes due 2018; and
The repayment of all of the Company's outstanding 11.25% senior notes due 2014 (the "Former Senior Notes").

The Recapitalization Transactions and the Company's current financing arrangements are further described below.
Issuance of Senior Notes
On May 31, 2011, the Company issued $235.0 million aggregate principal amount of 10% senior notes due 2018 (the “Senior Notes”) in a private placement pursuant to Rule 144A and Regulation S. The Company issued the Senior Notes under an indenture entered into among the Company, the guarantors party thereto and The Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company, N.A., as trustee (the “Indenture”). The initial aggregate principal amount of the Senior Notes issued was $235.0 million.
The Senior Notes mature on June 1, 2018. Interest on the Senior Notes accrues at the rate of 10% per annum and is payable on a semi-annual basis on each June 1 and December 1, commencing December 1, 2011. Before June 1, 2014, the Company may redeem the Senior Notes, in whole or in part, at a price equal to 100% of the principal amount thereof plus a make-whole premium and accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the date of redemption. In addition, at any time before June 1, 2014, the Company may redeem up to 35% of the aggregate principal amount of the Senior Notes with the net proceeds of certain equity offerings at a price equal to 110% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the date of redemption, provided at least 65% of the aggregate principal amount of the Senior Notes remains outstanding immediately after such redemption. The Company may also redeem the Senior Notes at any time, in part or in whole, on or after June 1, 2014 at the redemption prices set forth in the Indenture plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the date of redemption.

The Company and all of its domestic restricted subsidiaries have fully and unconditionally guaranteed the Senior Notes, which guarantees are fully secured by the assets of such guarantors. See Note 13 for consolidating financial information required by Rule 3-10 of Regulation S-X. The Senior Notes place certain restrictions on the Company including, but not limited to, the Company’s ability to incur additional indebtedness or issue preferred stock, pay dividends or make other distributions or repurchase or redeem the Company’s stock or subordinated indebtedness, make investments, sell assets and issue capital stock of restricted subsidiaries, incur liens, enter into agreements restricting the ability of the Company’s subsidiaries to pay dividends, enter into transactions with affiliates, and consolidate, merge or sell all or substantially all of the Company’s assets.
The Company incurred approximately $6.7 million in deferred financing costs related to the Senior Notes for the period ended June 30, 2011, which will be amortized over the term of the Senior Notes.
New Term Loan Facility
On May 31, 2011, the Company, its parent company and certain of the Company’s subsidiaries entered into a new $350.0 million senior secured term loan B facility (the “New Term Loan Facility”). The New Term Loan Facility also provides for an uncommitted incremental term loan facility of up to $75.0 million that will be available subject to certain conditions. In general, in the absence of an event of default, the New Term Loan Facility matures on May 31, 2017.
The Company is required to repay installments on the New Term Loan Facility in quarterly principal amounts of $875,000 beginning on September 30, 2011, with any remaining outstanding amounts payable at maturity in 2017. Borrowings under the New Term Loan Facility accrue interest at (i) for base rate loans, a rate per annum equal to the highest of (a) the federal funds rate in effect on such date plus 0.5% per annum, (b) the variable annual rate of interest then announced by Bank of America as its “prime rate,” and (c) the Eurodollar Rate (as defined in the New Term Loan Facility) plus 1.00%, plus, in each case, an applicable margin of 4.0% to 5.0% as set forth in the New Term Loan Facility; and (ii) for Eurodollar Rate Loans (as defined in the New Term Loan Facility) for any interest period, the rate per annum equal to the British Bankers Association LIBOR Rate published by Reuters two business days before such interest period for dollar deposits with a term equivalent to such interest period, subject to a minimum interest rate and a substitute rate in certain circumstances, plus an applicable margin set forth in the New Term Loan Facility. The interest rate at June 30, 2011 was 6.5%.
The New Term Loan Facility is collateralized by (i) a first priority lien on substantially all of the Company’s assets, other than the first priority lien collateral securing indebtedness under the Senior Credit Facility described below and assets of the Company’s foreign subsidiaries, and (ii) a second priority lien on the first priority lien collateral securing indebtedness under the Senior Credit Facility. In addition, obligations under the New Term Loan Facility are secured by a first priority lien on the Company’s equity interests in its domestic subsidiaries and a portion of the Company’s equity interests in its foreign subsidiaries. All obligations under the New Term Loan Facility are fully and unconditionally guaranteed by, subject to certain exceptions, each of the Company’s existing and future domestic subsidiaries.
The New Term Loan Facility contains customary events of default, including, but not limited to, for failure to make payments under the New Term Loan Facility, materially incorrect representations, breaches of covenants (subject to a 30-day grace period after notice in the case of certain covenants), cross-default to other material indebtedness, material unstayed judgments, certain ERISA, bankruptcy and insolvency events, failure of guarantees or security to remain in full force and effect, and changes of control. At June 30, 2011, the Company was in compliance with these restrictions.
The Company incurred approximately $10.1 million in deferred financing costs related to the New Term Loan Facility which will be amortized over the term of the New Term Loan Facility.

Senior Credit Facility
On January 31, 2006, the Company entered into a senior secured revolving credit facility with a syndicate of financial institutions. On August 6, 2007, the Company amended this facility to provide for an increase in the maximum credit facility to $75.0 million, which included a Canadian dollar sub-facility available to the Company’s Canadian subsidiaries for up to $15.0 million (or the Canadian dollar equivalent). A reserve has been established in the U.S. for the U.S. dollar equivalent of amounts outstanding under the Canadian sub-facility. On October 31, 2007, the Company amended this facility to provide for an increase in the maximum credit facility to $110.0 million, to provide for an increase in the Canadian dollar sub-facility to $25.0 million and to amend certain borrowing base limitations. On July 2, 2010, the loan agreement related to this facility was amended and restated to provide for an increase in the maximum credit facility to $125.0 million.
On May 31, 2011, as part of the Recapitalization Transactions, the loan agreement related to this facility was amended and restated to provide for a decrease in the maximum credit facility to $75.0 million and to provide for a decrease in the Canadian dollar sub-facility to $15.0 million (the "Senior Credit Facility"). The Senior Credit Facility also provides the Company’s domestic and Canadian subsidiaries with letter of credit sub-facilities. Availability under the Senior Credit Facility is subject to borrowing base limitations for both the U.S. and the Canadian subsidiaries, as defined in the loan agreement. In general, in the absence of an event of default, the Senior Credit Facility matures on May 31, 2016. Under the terms of the Company’s lock box arrangement, remittances automatically reduce the revolving debt outstanding on a daily basis and therefore the Senior Credit Facility is classified as a current liability on the accompanying consolidated balance sheets at June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010. At June 30, 2011, there were no borrowings outstanding and approximately $70.9 million was available for additional borrowings under the Senior Credit Facility.
Under the Senior Credit Facility, in general, interest subsequent to May 31, 2011 accrues on amounts outstanding under the U.S facility at a variable annual rate equal to the U.S. Index Rate (as defined therein) plus 1.25% to 2.0%, depending on the Company’s utilization of the Senior Credit Facility, or at the Company’s election, at an annual rate equal to the LIBOR Rate (as defined therein) plus 2.25% to 3.0%, depending upon utilization. In general, interest accrues on amounts outstanding under the Canadian sub-facility at a variable rate equal to the Canadian Index Rate (as defined therein) plus 1.25% to 2.0%, depending upon utilization, or at the Company’s election, at an annual rate equal to the BA Rate (as defined therein) plus 2.25% to 3.0%, depending upon utilization. The Senior Credit Facility also includes unused facility and letter-of-credit fees which are reflected in interest expense in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations.
Under the Senior Credit Facility, in general, interest for the period from January 1, 2011 through May 31, 2011 accrued on amounts outstanding under the U.S. facility at a variable annual rate equal to the U.S. Index Rate (as defined in the prior loan agreement) plus 2.0%, or at the Company’s election, at an annual rate equal to the LIBOR Rate (as defined in the prior loan agreement) plus 3.0%. In general, interest accrues on amounts outstanding under the Canadian sub-facility at a variable rate equal to the Canadian Index Rate (as defined in the prior loan agreement) plus 2.0%, or at the Company’s election, at an annual rate equal to the BA Rate (as defined in the prior loan agreement) plus 3.0%.
Under the Senior Credit Facility, in general, interest for the three and six months ended June 30, 2010 accrued on amounts outstanding under the U.S. facility at a variable annual rate equal to the U.S. Index Rate (as defined in the prior loan agreement) plus 0.5% or, at the Company’s election, at an annual rate equal to LIBOR plus 1.5% (as defined in the prior loan agreement). Interest accrued on amounts outstanding under the Canadian facility at a variable annual rate equal to the Canadian Index Rate (as defined in the prior loan agreement) plus 0.5% or, at the Company’s election, at an annual rate equal to the BA Rate (as defined in the prior loan agreement) plus 1.5%.
The Senior Credit Facility is collateralized by substantially all of the Company’s tangible and intangible property (other than real property and equipment). In addition, all of the Company’s equity interests in its domestic subsidiaries and a portion of the equity interests in its foreign subsidiaries are pledged to collateralize the Senior Credit Facility.
The Senior Credit Facility contains certain customary affirmative and negative covenants that restrict the Company’s and its subsidiaries’ ability to, among other things, incur additional indebtedness, grant liens, engage in mergers, acquisitions and asset sales, declare dividends and distributions, redeem or repurchase equity interests, incur contingent obligations, prepay certain subordinated indebtedness, make loans, certain payments and investments and enter into transactions with affiliates.
The Company incurred approximately $0.9 million in additional deferred financing costs related to the amendment of the Senior Credit Facility during the period ended June 30, 2011, which will be amortized over the term of the Senior Credit Facility.
At June 30, 2011, there were outstanding letters of credit of approximately $4.1 million under the Senior Credit Facility.

Loss on Early Extinguishment of Debt
During the three months ended June 30, 2011, the Company entered into the New Term Loan Facility and issued the Senior Notes and used a portion of the proceeds to repay the Former Senior Notes and all amounts outstanding under the Senior Credit Facility. In connection with the refinancing transaction, the Company wrote-off deferred financing costs of approximately $11.9 million and paid approximately $10.2 million in early redemption and consent costs related to the Former Senior Notes.
Former Senior Notes
On January 31, 2006, the Company completed an unregistered private offering of $220.0 million aggregate principal amount of 11.25% senior notes due 2014. Pursuant to an exchange offer, effective December 22, 2006, the Company exchanged all of the unregistered 11.25% senior notes due 2014 for new 11.25% senior notes due 2014 registered under the Securities Act of 1933 (the “Former Existing Notes”).
On September 24, 2010, the Company completed the private placement of $100.0 million in principal amount of 11.25% senior notes due 2014 (the “Former Additional Notes”). The Company used the proceeds from the offering of the Former Additional Notes and cash on hand to repay a $100.0 million term loan the Company incurred to fund the purchase price of the EMCS acquisition and to pay certain transaction and integration costs related thereto, as described in more detail below under “Credit and Guaranty Agreement.” The Former Additional Notes were issued as additional notes under the indenture pursuant to which the Company issued the Former Existing Notes. The Former Additional Notes were treated as a single series with the Former Existing Notes under the indenture and had the same terms as the Former Existing Notes. The Company completed an offer to exchange registered notes for the Former Additional Notes as required by the terms of a registration rights agreement related to the Former Additional Notes on November 30, 2010. Approximately $1.0 million in principal amount of 11.25% senior notes due 2014 were not tendered for exchange and remained private unregistered notes. The Former Existing Notes, together with the Former Additional Notes and the private unregistered notes are referred to in this report as the “Former Senior Notes.” The Former Senior Notes were repaid during the three months ended June 30, 2011.
Credit and Guaranty Agreement
On July 13, 2010, in connection with the EMCS acquisition, the Company, Exopack Key Holdings, LLC, and certain subsidiaries of the Company, as guarantors, entered into a Credit and Guaranty Agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) with Goldman Sachs Lending Partners LLC (“GS Lending Partners”), as Sole Lead Arranger, Sole Lead Bookrunner, Administrative Agent, Syndication Agent and Documentation Agent. The Credit Agreement provided for a term loan in an amount of up to $100.0 million (the “Term Loan”). Immediately prior to the closing of the EMCS acquisition, the Company borrowed the full amount of the Term Loan to be used for (i) consideration in respect of the EMCS acquisition, (ii) certain transaction costs related to the EMCS acquisition and (iii) certain integration costs in connection with the EMCS acquisition in an amount not to exceed $5.0 million. The Company’s obligations under the Credit Agreement were guaranteed by the Company’s parent and certain subsidiaries of the Company set forth in the Credit Agreement.
The Term Loan was initially funded as a Base Rate Loan (as such term is defined in the Credit Agreement). As a Base Rate Loan, the Term Loan initially bore interest at a rate per annum equal to the Base Rate (as such term is defined in the Credit Agreement), which could not be less than 3.00% per annum, plus a margin of 8.25% per annum. The Company generally had the option under the Credit Agreement to convert all or part of the Term Loan to a Eurodollar Rate Loan. Any Eurodollar Rate Loan would bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the Adjusted Eurodollar Rate (as such term is defined in the Credit Agreement), which would not be less than 2.00% per annum, plus a margin of 9.25% per annum. In each case, interest on the unpaid principal amount of the Term Loan was at no time less than 12.00% per annum.
The Company paid $11.6 million in deferred financing fees related to the Credit Agreement and the Additional Notes during the year ended December 31, 2010. These deferred financing fees were transferred to the Former Additional Notes and were written off with the repayment of the Former Senior Notes during the three months ended June 30, 2011. The Term Loan and related accrued interest was repaid on September 24, 2010 using proceeds received from the Company’s issuance of the Former Additional Notes.

Stock Option Plan
In December 2005, CPG’s Board of Directors approved the establishment of the 2005 Stock Option Plan of CPG Finance, Inc. (the “2005 Stock Option Plan”), in which officers and certain key employees of the Company are able to participate, and reserved 100,000 shares of CPG’s non-voting common shares for the 2005 Stock Option Plan. Under the 2005 Stock Option Plan, options have a term of no longer than ten years and vest ratably over a five year period.
The FASB revised guidance related to share based payments in December of 2004. This guidance requires nonpublic companies that have used the “minimum value method” under the previous guidance for either recognition or pro forma purposes to use the prospective method of the new guidance for transition. The prospective method allows companies to continue to account for previously issued awards that remain outstanding at the date of adopting the new guidance using pre-existing accounting standards and, accordingly, there will be no future material compensation expense related to the options issued in December 2005. The pro forma impact of the December 2005 options would be immaterial for disclosure purposes during 2011 and 2010. The prospective method also requires nonpublic companies to record compensation costs in accordance with the new guidance only for awards issued, modified, repurchased, or cancelled after the effective date. Compensation expense related to options issued subsequent to the adoption of the new guidance is being recorded ratably over the vesting period of five years. CPG did not issue any options during the six months ended June 30, 2011 or 2010. The Company recorded stock compensation expense of approximately $64,000 and $96,000 during the three months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively, and approximately $157,000 and $219,000 during the six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively. As of June 30, 2011, the total compensation cost related to non-vested awards not yet recognized was approximately $1.1 million. This compensation cost is expected to be recognized over the remaining weighted-average period of 2.1 years.

Employee Benefit Plans and Other Programs
Defined Benefit Plans
The pension assets and obligations of the Retirement Plan of Exopack, LLC (the “Retirement Plan”) and the pension obligations of the Exopack, LLC Pension Restoration Plan for Salaried Employees (the “Restoration Plan”) (collectively, the “Pension Plans”) were transferred to and assumed by the Company in connection with the acquisition of Exopack in 2005. Substantially all full-time employees of Exopack, LLC hired prior to June 30, 2003 were eligible to participate in the Retirement Plan. The Pension Plans were frozen prior to the acquisition of Exopack in 2005. Accordingly, the employees’ final benefit calculation under the Pension Plans was the benefit they had earned under the Pension Plans as of the date the Pension Plans were frozen. This benefit will not be diminished, subject to the terms and conditions of the Pension Plans, which will remain in effect. The Company also sponsors a postretirement benefit plan covering, on a restricted basis, certain Exopack employees pursuant to a collective bargaining agreement.
In conjunction with the EMCS acquisition, the Company assumed a defined benefit pension plan for certain employees at the Menasha, Wisconsin facility. Employees hired prior to March 1, 2010 were eligible to participate in the plan upon completion of 1,000 service hours. This plan was subsequently incorporated into the Retirement Plan of Exopack, LLC.
The components of the net periodic benefit cost for the Pension Plans and the postretirement benefit plan are as follows for the three and six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010:

Retirement Plan for Employees of Exopack Performance Films, Inc.
On January 29, 2008, the Company adopted the Retirement Plan for employees of Exopack Performance Films, Inc., retroactive to December 1, 2007. Exopack Performance Films’ employees at the Whitby location are eligible to participate in the plan. There are two portions of the plan, a defined contribution plan and a savings plan. In the defined contribution plan, contributions are made by the Company only and are based on an age and service formula. The Company contributed approximately $78,000 and $84,000 to the defined contribution plan during the three months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively, and approximately $159,000 and $183,000 during the six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively. In addition, employees can contribute to the savings plan and receive a match of 50% on the first 4% the employee defers into the plan. Employer contributions to the savings plan were discontinued as of March 1, 2010 and no further employer contributions will be made to the plan. Accordingly, total expense related to the savings plan was zero for the three months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, and zero and $30,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively.
Exopack, LLC Savings Plan
The Company has a 401(k) plan, which is a defined contribution plan that covers all full-time employees in the United States. The Company partially matches employee contributions which vest immediately. Expense totaled approximately $517,000 and $420,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively and approximately $1.1 million and $803,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively. This significant increase period over period is primarily related to an increase in the employer matching contribution to 3% from 2% effective January 1, 2011.
Deferred Compensation Agreements
The Company has unfunded deferred compensation agreements, assumed in connection with the acquisition of Cello-Foil in 2005. The Company is obligated to provide certain deferred compensation for these Cello-Foil employees over specified periods beginning at age 62. In addition, the Company has agreed to provide certain death benefits for the employees to be paid over a specified period. The Company is accruing its obligations over the estimated period of employment of the individuals to age 62. As of June 30, 2011, the Company had two individuals receiving benefits under the agreements. The deferred compensation liability for these agreements was approximately $292,000 and $321,000 at June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, respectively (recorded in “other liabilities” in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets). Deferred compensation expense for each of the three and six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010 was insignificant.
Management Incentive Compensation Plan
The Company maintains a management incentive compensation plan for eligible management personnel based on both Company and individual performance against pre-defined goals. The plan provides for quarterly cash payments of 66.7% of the quarterly amount earned and 33.3% is accrued and held back for payment once the annual audit is finalized. The Company recognized charges of approximately $633,000 and $612,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively, and approximately $1.6 million and $1.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively, for benefits under the management incentive compensation plan.
Option Holder Bonus Agreements
During June 2011, CPG entered into bonus agreements (the “Bonus Agreements”) with the employees of the Company who hold options to purchase shares of CPG’s common stock. The Bonus Agreements provide for the payment to each employee holding options an amount equal to the dividend amount per share minus the exercise price per share. Following entry into the Bonus Agreements, CPG made cash payments to employees holding vested in-the-money options. Additional payments will be made as the options vest, expire, and upon certain events of termination of the applicable employee’s employment or the occurrence of certain change of control events. The Company recognized charges related to these bonus agreements of approximately $3.6 million during the three and six months ended June 30, 2011.

8.
Severance Expenses
During the three and six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, the Company terminated the employment of certain employees and eliminated their positions. During the three months ended March 31, 2010, the Company also extended a voluntary early retirement option to certain salaried employees and a voluntary separation option to certain hourly employees at one of its consumer food and specialty packaging segment facilities. In connection with these terminations, the Company recorded employee termination costs of approximately $411,000 and $1.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively, and approximately $455,000 and $2.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively. The amounts were included in “Selling, general and administrative expenses” in the consolidated statements of operations. Approximately $419,000 in severance was accrued at December 31, 2010. Of these amounts, the Company paid approximately $448,000 through June 30, 2011, and approximately $426,000 remained accrued for employee termination benefits at June 30, 2011, which the Company expects will primarily be paid in 2011.

9.
Contingencies
From time to time, the Company becomes party to legal proceedings and administrative actions, which are of an ordinary or routine nature, incidental to the operations of the Company. Although it is difficult to predict the outcome of any legal proceeding, in the opinion of the Company’s management, such proceedings and actions should not, individually or in the aggregate, have a material adverse effect on the Company’s consolidated financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

Related Party Transactions
Fees Related to Management and Consulting Services
In 2005, the Company entered into a management services agreement with Sun Capital Partners Management IV, LLC, an affiliate of Sun Capital (“Sun Capital Management”). The management services agreement was amended on January 31, 2006.

On May 31, 2011, the management services agreement was replaced with a new consulting agreement (the "consulting agreement"), which will terminate on May 31, 2021. Pursuant to the terms of the consulting agreement, Sun Capital Management has provided and will provide the Company with certain financial and management consulting services, subject to the supervision of the Company’s Board of Directors.

Segments and Significant Customers
Segments
The Company identifies its reportable segments in accordance with FASB guidance for disclosures about segments of an enterprise and related information, by reviewing the nature of products sold, nature of the production processes, type and class of customer, methods to distribute product and nature of regulatory environment. While all of these factors were reviewed, the Company believes that the most significant factors for the Company are the nature of its products, the nature of the production process and the type of customers served.
The Company’s operations consist of four reportable segments: (i) pet food and specialty packaging, (ii) consumer food and specialty packaging, (iii) performance packaging and (iv) coated products. The pet food and specialty packaging segment produces products used in applications such as pet food, lawn and garden, charcoal, and popcorn packaging. The consumer food and specialty packaging segment produces products used in applications such as fresh meat, natural cheese and dairy foods, beverages, personal care, frozen foods, confectionary, breakfast foods, and films. The performance packaging segment produces products used in applications such as building materials, chemicals, agricultural products and food ingredient packaging. The coated products segment produces precision coated films, foils, fabrics and other substrates for imaging, electronics, medical and optical technologies.
The EMCS acquisition, which primarily includes meat and cheese packaging products, is included in the consumer food and specialty packaging segment for the three and six months ended June 30, 2011.
The Company evaluates performance based on profit or loss from operations. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, segment data includes a charge allocating certain corporate costs to each of its segments, as summarized in the table below:

Due to the autonomy of the coated products segment in relation to the other segments, no corporate costs were allocated to this segment during the three or six months ended June 30, 2011 or 2010.
While sales and transfers between segments are recorded at cost plus a reasonable profit, the effects of intersegment sales are excluded from the computations of segment operating income. Intercompany profit is eliminated in consolidation and is not significant for the periods presented.
Corporate operating losses consist principally of certain unallocated corporate costs.

Income Taxes
Income taxes are recorded under the asset and liability method whereby deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax basis. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. We do not currently intend to repatriate earnings, if any, from our Canadian subsidiaries, and consider these earnings to be permanently invested outside the U.S. As a result, no deferred tax liability has been recognized for earnings from our Canadian subsidiaries. We have provided for deferred U.S. taxes on all undistributed earnings from our U.K. subsidiaries. Prior to the fourth quarter of 2010, we had not recognized a deferred tax liability for earnings from our U.K. subsidiaries because we considered these earnings to be permanently invested overseas. During the fourth quarter of 2010, we determined that these earnings should no longer be considered indefinitely invested as a result of the continued success of our U.K. operations and concurrent increase in the need for funds to service the additional indebtedness incurred for the EMCS acquisition and other business strategies.
The effective income tax rate for 2011 was approximately 38%. The effective income tax rate for 2010 reflects significant foreign losses which we do not believe will result in a tax benefit. The jurisdiction in which earnings or deductions are realized may differ from our current estimates. As a result, our effective tax rate may fluctuate significantly on a quarterly basis.

15.
Lease Transactions
On July 12, 2010, the Company completed an equipment sale/leaseback transaction with a third party that resulted in net proceeds of approximately $4.9 million, after fees and deposits. These funds were subsequently used to reduce amounts outstanding under the Senior Credit Facility. The Company determined that this lease qualified as a capital lease and, accordingly, recorded a capital lease obligation equal to the present value of the minimum lease payments of approximately $5.2 million. The lease term is five years with a lease expiration date of July 2015. At June 30, 2011, $5.2 million of property, plant and equipment and approximately $1.0 million of accumulated depreciation are recorded related to the capital lease on the accompanying consolidated balance sheet. At June 30, 2011, approximately $869,000 and $3.2 million are included in the current portion of capital lease obligations and long-term capital lease obligations, less current portion, respectively, on the accompanying consolidated balance sheet. At June 30, 2011, approximately $1.7 million in security deposits refundable at lease expiration are included in other assets on the accompanying consolidated balance sheet.
In conjunction with the EMCS acquisition, the Company assumed one lease related to real estate and three leases related to extrusion equipment that the Company determined qualified as capital leases. The Company recorded a total capital lease obligation equal to the present value of the minimum lease payments, or approximately $9.2 million. The leases expired over various periods with the real estate lease expiring in May 2019 and the three equipment leases expiring in May 2014, September 2014 and December 2017, respectively. Subsequent to the EMCS acquisition, the Company re-negotiated two of the equipment leases. The remaining equipment lease was cancelled and the equipment was purchased by the Company for approximately $1.5 million. The new equipment leases expire in September 2014. At June 30, 2011, approximately $4.4 million of property, plant and equipment and approximately $142,000 of accumulated depreciation related to the real estate and approximately $3.4 million of property, plant and equipment and approximately $952,000 of accumulated depreciation related to the extrusion equipment are recorded on the accompanying consolidated balance sheet. At June 30, 2011, approximately $77,000 and $4.3 million are included in the current portion of capital lease obligations and long-term capital lease obligations, less current portion, respectively, related to the assumed real estate lease. At June 30, 2011, approximately $830,000 and $2.1 million are included in the current portion of capital lease obligations and long-term capital lease obligations, less current portion, respectively, related to the equipment leases. At June 30, 2011, approximately $1.4 million in security deposits refundable at lease expiration are included in other assets in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Statements
This quarterly report of Exopack Holding Corp. (the “Company”) for the quarterly period ended June 30, 2011 including this “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations,” contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These statements include, but are not limited to, any statement that may predict, forecast, indicate or imply future results, performance, achievements or events. These forward-looking statements address matters that involve risks and uncertainties. Accordingly, there are or will be important factors that could cause our actual results to differ materially from those indicated in these statements. We believe that these factors include but are not limited to the following:
intense competition in the flexible packaging markets may adversely affect our operating results;
the profitability of our business depends on the price and availability of polyethylene resin and paper, two of our principal raw materials, and our ability to pass on polyethylene resin and paper price increases to customers;
our business is affected by global economic factors including risks associated with a recession and our customers’ access to credit;
we are subject to the risk of loss resulting from nonpayment or nonperformance by our customers;
financial difficulties and related problems at our vendors, suppliers and other business partners could result in a disruption to our operations and have a material adverse effect on our business;
fluctuations in the equity market may adversely affect our pension plan assets and our future cash flows;
energy price increases could adversely affect the results of our operations;
we may be unable to adapt to technological advances in the packaging industry;
we may be unable to protect our proprietary technology from infringement;
our operations could expose us to substantial environmental costs and liabilities;
we may not be able to obtain additional funding, if needed;
we may, from time to time, experience problems in our labor relations;
we are subject to risks related to our internal operations;
loss of third-party transportation providers upon whom we depend or increases in fuel prices could increase our costs or cause a disruption in our operations;
unexpected equipment failures may lead to production curtailments or shutdowns;
an affiliate of Sun Capital controls us and may have conflicts of interest with us in the future;
we are required to comply with Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, and there can be no assurance that we will be able to establish, maintain and apply effective internal control over financial reporting under applicable SEC rules promulgated under Section 404;
we may be adversely affected by interest rate changes;
numerous other factors over which we may have limited or no control may affect our performance and profitability;
our substantial indebtedness could adversely affect our financial health and prevent us from fulfilling our obligations under our outstanding Senior Notes and New Term Loan Facility;
our increased debt obligations as a result of our new debt structure could adversely affect our business and limit our ability to plan for or respond to changes in our business;
despite current indebtedness levels, we and our subsidiaries may still be able to incur substantially more debt and this could further exacerbate the risks described above;
to service our indebtedness, we will require a significant amount of cash and our ability to generate cash depends on many factors beyond our control;
the indenture governing our outstanding Senior Notes and the credit agreements governing our Senior Credit Facility and New Term Loan Facility will restrict our operations;
we may not successfully complete the integration of Exopack Meat, Cheese and Specialty (“EMCS”);

26


we may be unable to realize the expected cost savings and other synergies from the EMCS acquisition into our business and operations;
we may be unable to successfully or timely complete the transition of equipment and business related to the EMCS acquisition to our existing facilities; and
loss of key individuals could disrupt our operations and harm our business.
You can often identify these and other forward-looking statements by the use of the words such as “may,” “will,” “could,” “would,” “should,” “expects,” “plans,” “anticipates,” “estimates,” “intends,” “potential,” “projected,” “continue,” or the negative of such terms, or other comparable terminology. Forward-looking statements also include the assumptions underlying or relating to any of the foregoing statements.
These statements are based on current expectations and assumptions regarding future events and business performance and involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that may cause industry trends or our actual results, level of activity, performance or achievements to be materially different from any future results, levels of activity, performance or achievements expressed or implied by these statements.
The foregoing factors should not be construed as exhaustive and should be read in conjunction with the other cautionary statements that are included in this report and in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2010 (the “Form 10-K”). For a more detailed discussion of the principal factors that could cause actual results to be materially different, you should read our risk factors included in Item 1A of the Form 10-K.
Although we believe that expectations reflected in the forward-looking statements are reasonable, we cannot guarantee future results, levels of activity, performance or achievements. We will assume no obligation to update any of the forward-looking statements after the date of this report to conform these statements to actual results or changes in our expectations, except as required by law. You should not place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which apply only as of the date of this report. You should carefully review the risk factors described in other documents that we file from time to time with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.
Overview
This Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations should be read together with the unaudited consolidated financial statements, including the notes thereto, included elsewhere in this report, and with the audited consolidated financial statements, including the notes thereto, included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2010.
We generate revenues, earnings and cash flows from the sale of flexible packaging, film and coated products primarily in the United States, Canada, Europe, and China. Management views net sales and operating income as the primary indicators of our financial performance.

2011 Recapitalization Transactions

On May 31, 2011, the Company completed a series of transactions (the "Recapitalization Transactions") that recapitalized the Company's indebtedness. These transactions include:

The entry into a six-year $350.0 million senior secured term loan facility (the "New Term Loan Facility");
The amendment and restatement of the Company's existing revolving credit facility (the "Senior Credit Facility");
The private placement of $235.0 million principal amount of 10% Senior Notes due 2018 (the "Senior Notes"); and
The repayment of all of the Company's outstanding 11.25% senior notes due 2014 (the "Former Senior Notes").
We used the proceeds from the Recapitalization Transactions to repay all of the outstanding Former Senior Notes, including accrued interest of $12.3 million and early redemption and consent costs of $10.2 million, repaid borrowings outstanding under the Senior Credit Facility of $73.7 million, paid a dividend to an affiliate of Sun Capital of $150.0 million and funded total financing costs of approximately $17.7 million. See Note 5 to our consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this quarterly report and "Financing Arrangements as of June 30, 2011" below for further information regarding the Recapitalization Transactions and our current financing arrangements.

EMCS Acquisition
On July 13, 2010, we completed the acquisition of certain assets and liabilities of a packaging business previously operated by Bemis Company, Inc. The acquired business, which is referred to in this report as Exopack Meat, Cheese and Specialty (“EMCS”), involves the manufacture and sale of certain packaging products primarily in the United States and Canada, including flexible-packaging rollstock used for chunk, sliced and shredded natural cheeses packaged for retail sale and flexible-packaging shrink bags used for fresh meat. EMCS is included within our consumer food and specialty packaging segment (see Note 12 to our consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this quarterly report). The acquisition of EMCS provided us with a leading market position in the flexible packaging market for meat and cheese and expanded our technology base and product offerings in the consumer food and specialty packaging segment.
Reportable Segments
Our operations consist of four reportable segments: (i) pet food and specialty packaging, (ii) consumer food and specialty packaging, (iii) performance packaging and (iv) coated products. The pet food and specialty packaging segment produces products used in applications such as pet food, lawn and garden, charcoal, and popcorn packaging. The consumer food and specialty packaging segment produces products used in applications such as beverages, personal care, frozen foods, confectionary, breakfast foods, and films. The performance packaging segment produces products used in applications such as building materials, chemicals, agricultural products and food ingredient packaging. The coated products segment produces precision coated films and specialty substrates for imaging, electronics, medical and optical technologies. We evaluate segment performance based on operating income or loss. The EMCS acquisition is included in the consumer food and specialty packaging segment for the three and six months ended June 30, 2011.
Severance Expenses
During the three and six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, we terminated the employment of certain employees and eliminated their positions. During the three months ended March 31, 2010, we also extended a voluntary early retirement option to certain salaried employees and a voluntary separation option to certain hourly employees at one of our consumer food and specialty packaging segment facilities. In connection with these terminations, we recorded employee termination costs of approximately $411,000 and $1.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively, and approximately $455,000 and $2.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively. These amounts were included in “Selling, general and administrative expenses” in the consolidated statements of operations. Approximately $419,000 in severance was accrued at December 31, 2010. Of these amounts, we paid approximately $448,000 through June 30, 2011 and approximately $426,000 remained accrued for employee termination benefits at June 30, 2011. We expect that the remaining $426,000 will primarily be paid in 2011.

Net Sales. Net sales for the three months ended June 30, 2011 increased by approximately $40.1 million, or 22%, compared with the same period in 2010. This increase was primarily attributable to additional net sales related to EMCS of approximately $36.0 million. Excluding EMCS, net sales increased $4.1 million, or 2%, due to an increase in the average selling price of approximately 6% partially offset by a decrease in volume of approximately 4%. The increase in average selling price would have been smaller if not for the favorable exchange rate impact of approximately $1.0 million. The decrease in sales volume was driven by all segments with the exception of our coated products segment. The increase in average sales price was driven by increases across all segments.
Cost of Sales. Cost of sales for the three months ended June 30, 2011 increased by approximately $29.9 million, or 19%, compared with the same period in 2010. This increase is primarily attributable to cost of sales related to the increase in net sales associated with the EMCS acquisition of approximately $31.5 million. Excluding the effects of EMCS, cost of sales as a percentage of net sales decreased to 85.9% of net sales, or $157.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2011 from 88.7% of net sales, or $159.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2010. Cost of sales for the three months ended June 30, 2011 was favorably impacted by greater manufacturing efficiencies due to the installation of new capital equipment and the realignment of certain facilities.
Selling, General and Administrative (“SG&A”) Expenses. SG&A expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2011 increased by approximately $5.6 million, or 36%, compared with the same period in 2010. Excluding the increase in SG&A expense related to EMCS of approximately $2.0 million, SG&A increased by approximately $3.6 million or 23%. The significant components of the total increase in SG&A expenses, excluding SG&A expenses attributable to EMCS, were costs related to the Recapitalization Transactions of $4.0 million, including expense of $3.6 million related to stock option holder bonuses as further described in Note 7 of our consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this report, an increase of $670,000 related to the integration of EMCS, an increase of $498,000 in management fees, and other lesser increases totaling $611,000. These increased expenses were partially offset by a decrease of approximately $1.2 million in due diligence and other costs related to the acquisition of EMCS and a decrease of approximately $1.0 million in severance expense.
Interest Expense. Interest expense for the three months ended June 30, 2011 increased by approximately $5.1 million, or approximately 72%, compared with the same period in 2010 primarily due to increased interest associated with the New Term Loan Facility, interest expense associated with the new debt incurred during the third quarter of 2010 in connection with the EMCS acquisition, amortization of deferred loan costs associated with the new debt incurred during the third quarter of 2010 and increased interest expense related to capital lease obligations, partially offset by a reduction in interest costs related to outstanding senior notes as a result of the replacement of the Former Senior Notes with the Senior Notes in connection with the Recapitalization Transactions.
Loss on Early Extinguishment of Debt. During the three months ended June 30, 2011, in connection with the Recapitalization Transactions, we wrote off deferred financing costs of approximately $11.9 million and recognized approximately $10.2 million in early redemption and consent costs related to the early extinguishment of our Former Senior Notes.
Other income, net. Other income for the three months ended June 30, 2011 decreased by approximately $711,000, or 84% compared to the same period in 2010 primarily due to a decrease of approximately $1.0 million in insurance proceeds received in 2010 related to a third quarter 2009 press fire at one of our food and specialty packaging facilities, partially offset by a decrease in net foreign exchange losses related to our Canadian and United Kingdom operations.
Income Tax Expense. We recorded an income tax benefit of approximately $9.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2011, on loss before income taxes of approximately $24.8 million, or an effective tax rate of 38%. The income tax expense of $519,000 recorded for the same period in 2010 was based on a loss before income taxes of approximately $1.5 million. The 2010 income tax rate was significantly impacted by foreign losses which we do not believe will result in a tax benefit.
Reportable Segments. Our pet food and specialty packaging segment had net sales of $54.9 million and $55.5 million, and operating income of $6.5 million and $4.9 million, for the three months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively. The small decrease in net sales was due to a decrease in volume of 6% largely offset by an increase in average selling price. The increase in operating income of $1.6 million, or 33%, was primarily due to a favorable mix of increased sales of pet food bags offset by decreased sales of other specialty packaging, operational efficiencies such as higher productivity and lower waste and certain operational and business changes in the prior year period.

29


Our consumer food and specialty packaging segment had net sales of $99.8 million and $59.9 million, and operating income of $9.7 million and $1.9 million, for the three months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively. The increase in net sales was primarily attributable to an increase in net sales related to EMCS of approximately $36.0 million. Excluding EMCS, net sales increased $3.9 million, or 6%, due to an increase in the average selling price of approximately 9%, which includes favorable foreign exchange impact of approximately $1.0 million, partially offset by a decrease in volume of approximately 3%. The increase in operating income of approximately $5.3 million, excluding operating income of $2.5 million related to EMCS, was primarily due to the increase in net sales, operational efficiencies such as higher productivity and lower waste, in part due to the installation of new capital equipment and certain operational and business changes in the prior year, and decreased selling, general and administrative expenses.
Our performance packaging segment had net sales of $44.1 million and $45.1 million, and operating income of $2.4 million and $3.5 million, for the three months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively. The decrease in net sales from 2010 was primarily due to a decrease in volume of 5% partially offset by an increase in the average selling price of approximately 3%. The decrease in operating income of $1.1 million, or 31%, was primarily attributable to the decrease in sales, increased delivery costs and costs related to the closure of the Longview, TX facility.
Our coated products segment had net sales of $21.0 million and $19.1 million, and operating income of $3.2 million and $2.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively. The increase in net sales was primarily a result of increased volume across several markets, particularly in the medical and commercial printing markets. The increase in operating income of $339,000, or 12%, was primarily the result of the increased sales partially offset by increased depreciation expense.
Corporate operating loss, which includes certain unallocated corporate costs, increased approximately $4.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2011 as compared with the same period in 2010. The increase in corporate operating loss was attributable to costs related to the Recapitalization Transactions, increased start-up and transition costs related to the integration of EMCS, increased management fees, and increased costs not allocated to a segment. These cost increases were partially offset by decreases in due diligence and other costs related to the acquisition of EMCS and decreased severance costs.

Net Sales. Net sales for the six months ended June 30, 2011 increased by approximately $91.7 million, or 26%, compared with the same period in 2010. This increase was primarily attributable to additional net sales related to EMCS of approximately $73.4 million. Excluding EMCS, net sales increased $18.3 million, or 5%, due to an increase in the average selling price of approximately 6% partially offset by a decrease in volume of approximately 1%. The increase in average selling price would have been smaller if not for the favorable exchange rate impact of approximately $1.9 million. The decrease in sales volume was driven by all segments with the exception of our coated products segment. The increase in average sales price was driven by increases across all segments.

30


Cost of Sales. Cost of sales for the six months ended June 30, 2011 increased by approximately $72.4 million, or 23%, compared with the same period in 2010. This increase is primarily attributable to cost of sales related to the increase in sales associated with the EMCS acquisition of approximately $65.3 million. Excluding the effects of EMCS, cost of sales as a percentage of net sales decreased to 85.9%, or $318.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2011 from 88.3% of net sales, or $311.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2010. Cost of sales for the six months ended June 30, 2011 was favorably impacted by operational efficiencies resulting from large capital projects at several facilities completed in the third quarter of 2010 and a reduction in costs related to certain operational and business changes. These improvements were partially offset by accelerated depreciation expense on certain property, plant and equipment to be replaced in the third quarter of 2011.
Selling, General and Administrative (“SG&A”) Expenses. SG&A expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2011 increased by approximately $8.6 million, or 29%, compared with the same period in 2010. Excluding the increase in SG&A expense related to EMCS of approximately $3.9 million, SG&A increased by approximately $4.7 million, or 16%. The significant components of the total increase in SG&A expenses, excluding SG&A expenses attributable to EMCS, were costs related to the Recapitalization Transactions of $4.0 million, including expense of $3.6 million related to stock option holder bonuses as further described in Note 7 of our consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this report, an increase of $1.4 million related to the integration of EMCS, an increase of $712,000 in management fees, and other lesser increases totaling $1.1 million. These increased expenses were partially offset by a decrease of approximately $1.5 million in severance costs and a decrease of approximately $1.0 million in due diligence and other costs related to the acquisition of EMCS.
Interest Expense. Interest expense for the six months ended June 30, 2011, increased by approximately $9.5 million, or approximately 67%, compared with the same period in 2010 primarily due to increased interest associated with the New Term Loan Facility, interest expense associated with the new debt incurred during the third quarter of 2010 in connection with the EMCS acquisition, amortization of deferred loan costs associated with the new debt incurred during the third quarter of 2010 and increased interest expense related to capital lease obligations, partially offset by a reduction in interest costs related to outstanding senior notes as a result of the replacement of the Former Senior Notes with the Senior Notes in connection with the Recapitalization Transactions.
Loss on Early Extinguishment of Debt. During the six months ended June 30, 2011, in connection with the Recapitalization Transactions, we wrote off deferred financing costs of approximately $11.9 million and recognized approximately $10.2 million in early redemption and consent costs related to the early extinguishment of our Former Senior Notes.
Other income, net. Other income for the six months ended June 30, 2011 decreased by approximately $747,000, or approximately 93% compared to the same period in 2010 primarily due to a decrease of approximately $1.0 million in insurance proceeds received in 2010 related to a third quarter 2009 press fire at one of our food and specialty packaging facilities, partially offset by a decrease in the net foreign exchange losses related to our Canadian and United Kingdom operations.
Income Tax Expense. We recorded an income tax benefit of approximately $8.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2011, on loss before income taxes of approximately $23.3 million, or an effective tax rate of 38%. The income tax expense of approximately $1.0 million recorded for the same period in 2010 was based on a loss before income taxes of $1.8 million. The 2010 income tax rate was significantly impacted by foreign losses which we do not believe will result in a tax benefit.
Reportable Segments. Our pet food and specialty packaging segment had net sales of $116.4 million and $112.4 million, and operating income of $14.7 million and $11.3 million, for the six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively. The increase in net sales was primarily due to an increase in average selling price of 7%, partially offset by a decrease in sales volume of 3%. The increase in operating income of $3.4 million, or 30%, was largely due to the increase in sales, operational efficiencies such as higher productivity and lower waste, and a reduction in costs related to certain operational business changes.
Our consumer food and specialty packaging segment had net sales of $198.3 million and $115.3 million, and operating income of $17.7 million and $4.0 million, for the six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively. This increase in net sales was primarily attributable to an increase in net sales related to EMCS of approximately $73.4 million. Excluding EMCS, net sales increased $9.6 million, or 8%, due to an increase in the average selling price of approximately 9%, which includes favorable foreign exchange of approximately $1.9 million, partially offset by a decrease in sales volume of 1%. The increase in operating income of approximately $9.5 million, excluding operating income of $4.2 million related to EMCS, was primarily due to the increased sales, operational efficiencies resulting from large capital projects at several facilities completed in the third quarter of 2010, decreased depreciation expense due to accelerated depreciation in the first half of 2010, and decreased selling, general and administrative costs.

31


Our performance packaging segment had net sales of $88.6 million and $87.9 million, and operating income of $4.3 million and $6.6 million, for the six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively. The slight increase in sales from 2010 was the result of an increase in the average selling price of approximately 3%, partially offset by a decrease in sales volume of approximately 2%. The decrease in operating income of $2.3 million, or 35%, was primarily attributable to an increase in depreciation expense and other costs associated with the planned closure of the Longview, TX facility in the third quarter of 2011, increased delivery costs and unfavorable sales mix.
Our coated products segment had net sales of $41.0 million and $36.9 million, and operating income of $6.4 million and $4.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively. The increase in net sales was primarily a result of increased volume across several markets, particularly in the medical and commercial printing markets. The increase in operating income of $1.6 million, or 33%, was primarily the result of increased sales, operational efficiencies such as higher productivity and lower waste and favorable sales mix, partially offset by increased depreciation expense.
Corporate operating loss, which includes certain unallocated corporate costs, increased approximately $5.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2011 as compared with the same period in 2010. The increase in corporate operating loss was attributable to costs related to the Recapitalization Transactions, increased start-up and transition costs related to the integration of EMCS, increased management fees, and increased costs not allocated to a segment. These cost increases were partially offset by decreases in due diligence and other costs related to the acquisition of EMCS and decreased severance costs.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
Cash Flows for the Six Months Ended June 30, 2011 compared to the Six Months Ended June 30, 2010
Cash flows used by operating activities for the six months ended June 30, 2011 of $15.4 million consisted primarily of cash provided by earnings, which was offset by net unfavorable changes in working capital. Cash provided by earnings was $9.2 million (net loss of $14.5 million adjusted to exclude the effect of non-cash charges for depreciation and amortization of $21.0 million, loss from early extinguishment of debt of $11.9 million, deferred income tax benefit of $9.6 million plus other non-cash items that net to approximately $404,000, including stock compensation expense and loss on sales and disposition of property, plant and equipment). The net unfavorable working capital changes resulted from increases in inventories and trade receivables partially offset by decreases in accounts payable and accrued and other liabilities. Inventories increased $8.4 million due largely to increased raw material costs and increased quantities. Trade accounts receivable increased $736,000 due to increased sales. Accounts payable and accrued and other liabilities decreased $15.7 million due primarily to the repayment of the Former Senior Notes and all accrued interest during the quarter ended June 30, 2011, partially offset by an increase in accounts payable resulting from rising raw material costs.

Cash flows used in investing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010 were $24.6 million and $12.5 million, respectively, primarily comprised of capital expenditures for property, plant and equipment and capitalized software in both periods and investment in our joint venture during the six months ended June 30, 2010, partially offset by proceeds from sales of property, plant and equipment for both periods.
Cash flows provided by financing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2011 were $40.1 million, primarily comprised of net borrowings on the New Term Loan Facility and issuance of the Senior Notes partially offset by the repayment of the Former Senior Notes, a dividend paid to our parent company, repayment of our revolving line of credit, deferred loan costs paid and capital lease obligation payments. Cash flows provided by financing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2010 were $4.3 million, which was primarily comprised of net borrowings on our Senior Credit Facility to fund the semi-annual interest payment on the Former Senior Notes and capital expenditures.
Financing Arrangements as of June 30, 2011
Information about our financing arrangements as of June 30, 2011, including the Senior Notes, our Senior Credit Facility, and our New Term Loan Facility, is also included in Note 5 of the consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this report.
On May 31, 2011, we issued the Senior Notes in a private placement pursuant to Rule 144A and Regulation S. The initial aggregate principal amount of the Senior Notes issued is $235.0 million. The Senior Notes mature on June 1, 2018. Interest accrues at the rate of 10% per annum and is payable on a semi-annual basis each June and December 1st, commencing on December 1, 2011. The indenture governing the Senior Notes imposes certain restrictions on us, including, but not limited to, our ability to incur additional indebtedness, make investments, sell assets and issue capital stock of restricted subsidiaries, incur liens, enter into agreements restricting the ability of our subsidiaries to pay dividends, enter into transactions with affiliates, and consolidate, merge or sell all or substantially all of our assets. We incurred approximately $6.7 million in deferred financing costs related to the Senior Notes for the period ended June 30, 2011, which will be amortized over the term of the Senior Notes.

32


Also on May 31, 2011, we, along with our parent company and certain of our subsidiaries, entered into the New Term Loan Facility for $350.0 million. The New Term Loan Facility also provides for an uncommitted incremental term loan facility of up to $75.0 million that will be available subject to certain conditions. The New Term Loan Facility matures on May 31, 2017. We are required to repay installments on the New Term Loan Facility in quarterly principal amounts of $875,000 beginning on September 30, 2011, with any remaining outstanding amounts payable at maturity in 2017. Borrowings under the New Term Loan Facility accrue interest at (i) for base rate loans, a rate per annum equal to the highest of (a) the federal funds rate in effect on such date plus 0.5% per annum, (b) the variable annual rate of interest then announced by Bank of America as its “prime rate,” and (c) the Eurodollar Rate (as defined in the New Term Loan Facility) plus 1.00%, plus, in each case, an applicable margin of 4.0% to 5.0% as set forth in the New Term Loan Facility; and (ii) for Eurodollar Rate Loans (as defined in the New Term Loan Facility) for any interest period, the rate per annum equal to the British Bankers Association LIBOR Rate published by Reuters two business days before such interest period for dollar deposits with a term equivalent to such interest period, subject to a minimum interest rate and a substitute rate in certain circumstances, plus an applicable margin set forth in the New Term Loan Facility. The interest rate at June 30, 2011 was 6.5%. The New Term Loan Facility contains events of default, including, but not limited to, for failure to make payments under the New Term Facility, materially incorrect representations, breaches of covenants, cross-default to other material indebtedness, material unstayed judgments, certain ERISA, bankruptcy and insolvency events, failure of guarantees or security to remain in full force and effect, and changes of control. At June 30, 2011, we were in compliance with these restrictions. We incurred approximately $10.1 million in deferred financing costs related to the New Term Loan Facility which will be amortized over the term of the New Term Loan Facility.
On May 31, 2011, we, along with our parent company and certain of our subsidiaries, amended our existing Senior Credit Facility by entering into a Third Amended and Restated Credit Agreement with a syndicate of financial institutions, which amended and restated our Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement dated July 2, 2010. As amended and restated in connection with the Recapitalization Transactions, the Senior Credit Facility provides for a secured revolving line of credit in an amount of up to $75.0 million, which includes a Canadian dollar sub-facility available to our Canadian subsidiaries for up to $15.0 million (or the Canadian dollar equivalent). The Senior Credit Facility matures on May 31, 2016. Under the Senior Credit Facility, in general, interest accrues on amounts outstanding under the U.S facility at a variable annual rate equal to the U.S. Index Rate (as defined therein) plus 1.25% to 2.0%, depending on our utilization of the Senior Credit Facility, or at our election, at an annual rate equal to the LIBOR Rate (as defined therein) plus 2.25% to 3.0%, depending upon utilization. In general, interest accrues on amounts outstanding under the Canadian sub-facility at a variable rate equal to the Canadian Index Rate (as defined therein) plus 1.25% to 2.0%, depending upon utilization, or at our election, at an annual rate equal to the BA Rate (as defined therein) plus 2.25% to 3.0%, depending upon utilization. We incurred approximately $0.9 million in additional deferred financing costs related to the Senior Credit Facility for the period ended June 30, 2011, which will be amortized over the term of the Senior Credit Facility. The Senior Credit Facility contains certain customary affirmative and negative covenants that restrict us and our subsidiaries’ ability to, among other things, incur additional indebtedness, grant liens, engage in mergers, acquisitions and asset sales, declare dividends and distributions, redeem or repurchase equity interests, incur contingent obligations, prepay certain subordinated indebtedness, make loans, certain payments and investments and enter into transactions with affiliates.
Liquidity and Capital Outlook
We fund our liquidity needs for capital expenditures, working capital and scheduled interest and principal payments through cash flow from operations and borrowings under our Senior Credit Facility. Since the second half of 2008, global financial markets have experienced significant liquidity challenges. Despite certain government intervention, capital market financing has become less available and more expensive. Notwithstanding the recent disruption of the capital and credit markets, we believe we have sufficient liquidity to meet our needs for the foreseeable future, although continued market disruption may result in increased borrowing costs associated with our Senior Credit Facility and New Term Loan Facility. Management continues to monitor events and the financial institutions associated with our Senior Credit Facility, including monitoring credit ratings and outlooks. In the event that we require additional liquidity beyond our cash flows and borrowings available under our existing Senior Credit Facility due to market conditions, unexpected actions by our lenders, changes to our growth strategy, or other factors, our ability to obtain any additional financing on favorable terms, if at all, could be severely limited.

33


We expect to incur a total of approximately $45.8 million in interest expense related to the Senior Notes and New Term Loan Facility in 2011, including amortization of related deferred financing costs and fees. In addition, we currently anticipate that our capital expenditures for 2011 will be approximately $42.0 million. To pay for the interest expense on the Senior Notes, the interest expense and principal payments under the New Term Loan Facility and anticipated capital expenditures, we plan to utilize internally generated funds and funds available under our Senior Credit Facility. At June 30, 2011, there were no borrowings outstanding and approximately $70.9 million was available for borrowings under our Senior Credit Facility. Management believes that, based on current and anticipated financial performance, cash flows from operations and borrowings under our Senior Credit Facility will be adequate to meet anticipated requirements for capital expenditures, working capital and scheduled interest and principal payments for 2011.
As noted above, the indenture governing the Senior Notes, the credit agreement governing our New Term Loan Facility and the credit agreement governing our Senior Credit Facility contain certain covenants that, among other things, restrict our ability to borrow additional money, pay dividends, make investments, create liens, enter into transactions with affiliates and sell assets or enter into mergers with others. The Senior Credit Facility matures on May 31, 2016, the New Term Loan Facility matures on May 31, 2017 and the Senior Notes mature June 1, 2018. We may not generate sufficient cash flow from operations or may not be able to obtain sufficient funding to satisfy all of our obligations, including those noted above. If we are unable to pay our obligations, we may be required to pursue one or more alternative strategies, such as selling assets, or refinancing or restructuring our indebtedness. Such alternative strategies may not be feasible or may not be adequate to satisfy our obligations.
Although specific plans and timing with respect to any potential acquisitions will depend on a variety of factors, one of our potential growth strategies is growth through acquisitions, which may require additional funding. In such case, although we believe that we would be able to borrow additional funds beyond our current credit lines, there can be no assurance that such financing would be available or, if so, on terms that are acceptable to us, especially in light of the current liquidity crisis.
Our ability to pay future dividends is subject to the terms of the indenture governing the Senior Notes, the terms of the New Term Loan Facility, the terms of our Senior Credit Facility, and the discretion of our Board of Directors.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
During 2009, we entered into a joint venture with INDEVCO Group, a Lebanese-based manufacturer (“INDEVCO”). We determined that the joint venture is a variable interest entity (“VIE”) under FASB guidance related to accounting for variable interest entities and that we are not the primary beneficiary of the VIE. The VIE consists of a manufacturing operation, located within an existing manufacturing facility owned by INDEVCO in Lebanon, used to co-extrude polyethylene film for use in flexible packaging. During 2010, the VIE purchased and installed the necessary equipment and production commenced. Our maximum exposure to loss as a result of our involvement with the unconsolidated VIE is limited to our recorded investment in this VIE, which was approximately $639,000 at June 30, 2011. We recognized approximately $32,000 as our share of the income of the joint venture’s operations and received loan payments of approximately $63,000 during the three months ended June 30, 2011. For the six months ended June 30, 2011, we recognized approximately $44,000 as our share of the loss of the joint venture's operations and received loan payments of approximately $85,000. We may be subject to additional losses to the extent of any financial support that we provide in the future.

Under the terms of the lockbox arrangement, remittances automatically reduce the revolving debt outstanding on a daily basis and therefore if we had borrowings outstanding under our Senior Credit Facility the entire amount would be classified as a current liability. The Senior Credit Facility does not mature until May 31, 2016.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
We are exposed to various market risks. Market risk is the potential loss arising from adverse changes in market prices and rates. We do not enter into derivative or other financial instruments for trading or speculative purposes.
Interest Rates. We are exposed to market risk in the form of interest rate risk related to borrowings under our Senior Credit Facility. Borrowings under the U.S. portion of our Senior Credit Facility accrue interest on amounts outstanding under the U.S facility at a variable annual rate equal to the U.S. Index Rate (as defined therein) plus 1.25% to 2.0%, depending on our utilization of the senior credit facility, or at our election, at an annual rate equal to the LIBOR Rate (as defined therein) plus 2.25% to 3.0%, depending upon utilization of the Senior Credit Facility. Borrowings under the Canadian sub-facility portion of our Senior Credit Facility accrue interest at a variable rate equal to the Canadian Index Rate (as defined therein) plus 1.25% to 2.0%, depending upon utilization of the Senior Credit Facility, or at our election, at an annual rate equal to the BA Rate (as defined therein) plus 2.25% to 3.0%, depending upon utilization of the Senior Credit Facility. Because these rates may increase or decrease at any time, we are subject to the risk that they may increase, thereby increasing the interest rates applicable to our borrowings under the Senior Credit Facility. Increases in the applicable rates would increase our interest expense and reduce our net income or increase our net loss. We do not have any instruments in place, such as interest rate swaps or caps, which would mitigate our exposure to interest rate risk related to these borrowings. As of June 30, 2011, there were no borrowings outstanding on the Senior Credit Facility.

35


We are also exposed to market risk in the form of interest rate risk related to the New Term Loan Facility. Borrowings on the New Term Loan Facility accrue interest at (i) for base rate loans, a rate per annum equal to the highest of (a) the federal funds rate in effect on such date plus 0.5% per annum, (b) the variable annual rate of interest then announced by Bank of America as its “prime rate,” and (c) the Eurodollar Rate (as defined in the New Term Loan Facility) plus 1.00%, plus, in each case, an applicable margin of 4.0% to 5.0% as set forth in the New Term Loan Facility; and (ii) for Eurodollar Rate Loans (as defined in the New Term Loan Facility) for any interest period, the rate per annum equal to the British Bankers Association LIBOR Rate published by Reuters two business days before such interest period for dollar deposits with a term equivalent to such interest period, subject to a minimum interest rate and a substitute rate in certain circumstances, plus an applicable margin set forth in the New Term Loan Facility. Because these rates may increase or decrease at any time, we are subject to the risk that they may increase, thereby increasing the interest rates applicable to our borrowings under the New Term Loan Facility. Increases in the applicable rates would increase our interest expense and reduce our net income or increase our net loss. We do not have any instruments in place, such as interest rate swaps or caps, which would mitigate our exposure to interest rate risk related to these borrowings. The interest rate at June 30, 2011 for the New Term Loan Facility was 6.5%.
Commodity Prices. We purchase commodities, such as paper, resin, films, energy, and various fuels which are subject to price fluctuations. We do not currently engage in the hedging of commodities. Commodities are generally purchased at market or fixed prices that are established by the vendor as part of the purchase process for quantities expected to be consumed in the ordinary course of business. Although the average selling prices of resin-based products in our consumer food and specialty packaging and performance packaging segments generally increase or decrease as the cost of resins increases or decreases, the impact of a change in resin prices is more immediately reflected in our raw material costs than in our selling prices. We monitor the correlation between commodity prices and our selling prices and we may consider hedging alternatives in the future to potentially reduce the effect of price fluctuations.
Currency and Exchange Rates. The majority of our revenues, operating expenses and significant capital expenditures are denominated in U.S. dollars; however we do have some exposure to foreign currency risk related to our operations in the United Kingdom, China, and Canada, our Canadian sub-facility and interactions with our foreign subsidiaries. Transactions in other currencies are translated into U.S. dollars using the rates in effect as of the date of such transactions. We have not entered into any foreign currency forward contracts or similar arrangements to limit our exposure to foreign exchange rate fluctuations, but we may consider such arrangements in the future.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Our management has established disclosure controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms. Such disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to our management to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Based on management’s evaluation as of the end of the period covered by this quarterly report, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) promulgated under the Exchange Act) were effective as of the end of the period covered by this quarterly report.
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
There was no change in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the quarter ended June 30, 2011 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule  13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act).

PART II
 
ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
From time to time, we become party to legal proceedings and administrative actions, which are of an ordinary or routine nature, incidental to our operations. Although it is difficult to predict the outcome of any legal proceeding, in the opinion of our management, such proceedings and actions should not, individually or in the aggregate, have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS
Information about certain risk factors and other uncertainties that could materially adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows was disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2010. There have been no material changes in those risk factors since the date of that filing.
