ITEM 1. BUSINESS
Overview
     Atlantis Plastics, Inc., headquartered in Atlanta, Georgia, is a leading manufacturer of high quality specialty plastic films and custom molded and extruded plastic products used for storage and transportation, food service, appliance, automotive, commercial and consumer applications. We currently operate 15 manufacturing plants located throughout the United States, and we believe we are a low cost producer in many of our product lines. We operate through three operating business segments: Plastic Films, Injection Molding and Profile Extrusion.
     Plastic Films, which accounted for approximately 64% of our net sales in 2005, is a leading manufacturer of specialty plastic films. The Plastic Films segment is comprised of three operating divisions: (1) Stretch Films, (2) Custom Films and (3) Institutional Products. Stretch Films produces high quality, multilayer plastic films used to cover, package and protect products for storage and transportation applications. We are one of the largest producers of stretch films in the United States. Custom Films produces customized monolayer and multilayer specialty plastic films used as a substrate in multilayer laminates in foam padding for carpet, automotive and medical applications, and as industrial and protective packaging. Institutional Products converts custom films into disposable products such as table covers, gloves and aprons, which are used primarily in institutional food service.
     Injection Molding, which accounted for approximately 28% of our net sales in 2005, is a leading manufacturer of both custom and proprietary injection molded products. Injection Molding produces a number of custom injection molded components that are sold primarily to original equipment manufacturers, or OEMs, in the home appliance, automotive parts, recreational vehicle and construction industries. Injection Molding also manufactures a line of proprietary plastic “cedar shake” siding panels for the home building industry and residential replacement market under the Cedarwayâ trade name.
     Profile Extrusion, which accounted for approximately 8% of our net sales in 2005, is a manufacturer of custom extruded

plastic products, primarily for use in consumer and commercial products, including recreational vehicles, mobile homes, residential doors and windows, office furniture and appliances. We believe we are one of the leading manufacturers of custom extruded plastic products for recreational vehicles.
Industry Overview
     Plastic Films. We participate in the flexible plastic films industry, which generated approximately 13.0 billion pounds in 2004, according to a 2005 industry report from The Freedonia Group. The flexible plastic films industry is populated by a few large film manufacturers and many smaller producers. Smaller competitors tend to focus on geographic areas to minimize transportation costs and specialize on a few products for niche markets. Growth in flexible plastic films is driven primarily by the increased use of plastic films in flexible packaging because of performance and cost advantages over competing packaging technologies.
     Within the plastic film industry, we manufacture single and multilayer linear low density polyethylene (LLDPE) stretch films and custom films made from a wide variety of polymers and co-polymers of ethylene and propylene. According to The Freedonia Group, 2004 demand for stretch film was 1.4 billion pounds with growth forecast at 5% per year driven by a favorable outlook for industrial activity, as well as heightened needs for the protection of goods during warehousing and distribution as mass retailers increase their dominance in the retail sector. Demand for custom film grew at a similar rate to 4.9 billion pounds, driven by the cost and performance advantages of flexible packaging over other packaging forms, according to the Flexible Packaging Association 2005 State of the Industry Report.
     Injection Molding. Injection molding is among the most widely utilized industrial plastic processes, generating market demand of approximately $30.2 billion in revenue in 2004 according to Plastics News. The injection molding industry is highly fragmented with an emphasis on regional markets. Growth in injection molding is expected to be driven by the increased usage of plastic components for consumer products, appliances, automobiles, computers, medical devices and other applications.
     Profile Extrusion. Much like the injection molding industry, the profile extrusion industry is highly fragmented with an emphasis on regional markets. Growth in the profile extrusion industry is expected to be driven primarily by the trend toward outsourcing by OEMs.
Our Business Strategies
     Increase Market Penetration. While many of our product lines hold leading positions in their market segments, we believe we have substantial opportunities to expand our customer base and deepen our market penetration. We are focused on increasing sales to new and existing customers by continuously improving existing products and expanding our product offerings through innovation. We believe we can increase market penetration and deepen our current customer relationships through the co-development of low cost, high quality component parts in our Injection Molding segment. We continue to increase our penetration of the recreational vehicle and manufactured housing markets by enhancing our position as a low cost provider and introducing new proprietary products. We are focused on expanding our customer base in our Plastic Films segment through the enhancement of customer service and the introduction of customized film structures.
     Expand Product Offerings. We have a history of new product development, and we plan to continue our successful product development efforts across all of our businesses. In particular, we will dedicate additional resources to expand our Injection Molding segment, where we believe there is an excellent opportunity to increase net sales and improve overall margin, and we expect to introduce new proprietary products in our Profile Extrusion segment, including continuing expansion of extruded accessories for the siding industry. We also plan to enhance our sales and distribution efforts in this business. Since the introduction of our “cedar shake” products in 2000, net sales from building products have grown from $0.7 million in 2000 to $27.4 million for 2005.
     Maximize Operating Efficiencies. We continually seek to improve our operating efficiencies by reducing costs, increasing our recovery rates and maintaining operational flexibility. In order to achieve this goal, we will continue to make prudent investments in our operations and people. For example, we believe we can continue to achieve cost savings in our Plastic Films segment through further reduction of materials usage and labor through the use of statistical process improvement methods in our current manufacturing facilities. Additionally, we look to increase manufacturing efficiencies and profitability in our Injection Molding segment through the further use of robotics, streamlining materials flow and by focusing on waste reduction.

     Pursue Acquisitions at Reasonable Valuations. We have experience in completing acquisitions and integrating them into our existing businesses. We will continue to seek acquisition candidates at reasonable valuations and integrate them into our existing operations.
Products
     Stretch Film. We are one of the largest producers of stretch films in the United States. We manufacture both monolayer and multilayer stretch films used primarily to wrap pallets of industrial and commercial goods for shipping or storage. Secondary markets for stretch film products include the bundling of non-palletized products such as carpet rolls, construction materials, furniture and paper. Stretch films are typically produced using linear low density polyethylene resins and other materials, and are manufactured using both blown and cast extrusion processes to meet rigid customer specifications. We have over 400 SKU’s in the machine wrap and hand wrap segment. We are one of the two original producers of stretch films and, as a result, our Linear branded products enjoy considerable brand equity. Our product offerings include our highly successful Advantage stretch film line, which incorporates three stretch films types, and is marketed under the Linear brand product family.
     The principal attributes driving the demand for stretch films are as follows:
    Load Containment. Stretch film is puncture resistant and can be expanded up to 300% of its pre-stretch size, creating a “rubber band effect” that applies force evenly to a load, helping to prevent palletized products from shifting during the distribution and handling processes. The consistent load containment minimizes product damage and reduces total costs relative to other, less reliable packaging alternatives.
 
    Cost Effectiveness. Stretch film provides superior strength-to-weight ratios, is cheaper to produce, and results in the creation of less waste than alternative containment media. Materials such as strapping, banding, corrugated boxes and adhesives continue to be displaced by stretch films at an increasing rate due to their cost and weight reduction benefits. The average stretch film requirement for pallet wrapping has decreased from nearly 30 ounces per load to less than 8 ounces per load as a result of manufacturing and resin technology improvements, which have enabled down gauging.
 
    Ease of Use. Stretch film allows for the effective, simple containment of bulk goods and is less labor and time intensive than alternative containment media. Machine wrap represents approximately two-thirds of the market for stretch film and continues to grow in popularity due to advances in automated wrapping machinery.
     Custom Films. We produce single and multilayer blown, cast and embossed films made from a wide variety of polymers and co-polymers of ethylene, including low density and linear low density polyethylene. These custom engineered and specialty films serve the coating, lamination, medical, automotive, textile, carpeting, furniture, manufacturing and food packaging industries. Custom Films maintains over 1,000 film recipes utilizing different combinations of resins, colors, and specialized additives in a broad range of film widths, thicknesses, and roll configurations. The following are among the division’s largest volume market segments:
    Flexible Packaging Converter Films. Films engineered for converted flexible packaging are marketed under the Proflextm brand and used in laminated applications as sealant layers, barrier layers and/or as a print carrier for graphics in stand-up pouches and similar value added packaging. Proflextm films can also be used in an unsupported format, plain or printed, for the manufacture of bags or wrapping of foods and consumer goods such as bakery or towel and tissue items.
 
    Masking Films. Masking films are used to protect the surface of materials such as acrylic or polycarbonate sheet, glass and metal during transportation, storage, fabrication and installation. These films incorporate a scratch, abrasion and gouge resistant layer on one side and a heat activated adhesive layer on the other, to bind the film to the final product’s surface and allow removal to expose a pristine product surface once an item is finished.
 
    Foam Lamination and Adhesive Films. Foam lamination films are designed to be a carrier web and become an integral structural component of carpet pad foam and automotive trim components. Adhesive films act as a heat activated bonding layer between two substrates or sheets made from diverse materials including applications such as structural panels used in semi-trailer construction and similar items.
 
    Non-Woven Lamination Films. These films adhere to non-woven substrates and become a functional part of the finished product. Applications include dental bibs, surgical drapings, other medical related products and absorbent tray pads used in meat packaging.

    Carpet, Furniture and Textile Packaging Films. This category includes a number of high strength, wide web films and protective bags used for wrapping textiles and packaging large format items like mattresses and furniture.
 
    Embossed Films. Embossed films are used in the manufacture of personal care items, disposable protective clothing and table cloths, and for carrier or release films used in the production of rubber, composite aerospace materials and molding compounds as a separation medium.
     Institutional Products. Marketed under the Sta-DriÒ brand name, we produce disposable consumer and institutional plastic products for the food service, party supply and school/collegiate markets. These product offerings are available in a variety of styles, colors, thickness levels and weights. Products produced include table covers and skirts, aisle runners, aprons, bibs, gloves, boots, freezer/storage bags, saddle pack bags, locker wrap and custom imprint designs.
     Injection Molding. We produce custom thermoplastic components for small and large appliances, including refrigerators, air conditioners, dehumidifiers and dishwashers. The division also manufactures products for the automotive and building products markets. Injection Molding manufactures a proprietary line of cedar replica building panels for siding applications in residential and commercial construction markets. The line includes a “cedar shake” panel for siding applications sold under the Cedarwayâ brand name and proprietary “half-round” accent panels. These products provide a maintenance free, cost effective, easy-to-install, long lasting alternative to wood, vinyl and aluminum siding products.
     Profile Extrusion. We produce and stock recreational vehicle components, and have grown our portfolio of building product related offerings. The following are among the division’s largest volume products:
    Double-Utility Trim. “Double-utility trim” is used in the siding industry and is manufactured under an exclusive licensing agreement.
 
    PLY-J and Flex-Flash. PLY-J flexible “J” channel siding trim and Flex-Flash flexible drip edge flashing products were developed to seal and finish round top windows. These products offer built-in mildew, mold and UV inhibitors, are easy to cut and install, and are manufactured in a variety of colors for convenience. We trademarked the PLY-J name in 1998 and received a patent on the Flex-Flash design in 1999.
 
    Fluted Outside Corner. The Fluted outside corner is an extruded building component used primarily in the remodeling industry. This product is manufactured in a white color and has a highly defined and elegant look.
Sales and Marketing
     Stretch Films. Under the Linear brand name, we sell stretch film nationally to approximately 400 distributors of industrial packaging and directly to several large end users. More than 90% of our stretch film volume is sold to distributors through our direct sales organization.
     Custom Films. We market specialty custom films for direct sale to end users, as well as through distributors, with a majority of the division’s sales completed on an order-by-order basis. Our Custom Films’ sales and marketing personnel work closely with our technical group to develop specific solutions for a wide range of customer applications. The division is marketing its expanded co-extrusion production capabilities in an effort to further penetrate the markets it serves.
     Institutional Products. This division sells primarily through a nation-wide broker network to numerous customers in the institutional food service, hospital and janitorial supply and party supply/retail store markets. Sales to both resellers and end market retailers are completed on an order-by-order basis.
     Injection Molding. This division maintains an in-house sales and engineering staff that assists in the design of products to customer specifications, designs molds to produce those products, and oversees the construction of necessary molds. Its “program management” concept promotes early involvement with customers’ engineers to assist with product and tooling design and the establishment of acceptable quality standards. Its Statistical Process Control, or SPC, systems enable it to meet these established quality standards on a cost effective basis. We believe that our ability to offer SPC quality assurance, as well as value-added secondary operations such as hot stamping, silk screening, and assembly provide us with a competitive advantage in selling to national accounts. In-house personnel generate the majority of our sales. Independent sales representatives, calling primarily on industrial customers in the Midwest, account for the balance. Building products sales are conducted through a nationally recognized distribution and manufacturer’s representative organization serving the building construction industry.
     Profile Extrusion. In-house sales personnel who oversee a network of independent sales representatives conduct the

Profile Extrusion division’s marketing and sales activities. These representatives call on a diversified customer base in approximately 30 states. We supply many industries, including manufacturers of appliances, recreational vehicles, residential windows and doors, office furniture, building supplies and marine products.
Manufacturing and Raw Materials
     Stretch Films. We manufacture our stretch film products utilizing cast and blown, mono and co-extrusion technology in three facilities, located in Sapulpa, Oklahoma; Nicholasville, Kentucky; and Fontana, California. We purchase several types of low density and linear low density resins and other materials to manufacture our stretch film products.
     Custom Films. Custom films products are manufactured in Mankato, Minnesota and Cartersville, Georgia. Production capabilities include monolayer and multilayer co-extruded blown, cast and embossed films. Our cast films may contain as many as seven individual layers, while our blown films may be configured with up to five layers, each layer serving a specific purpose and potentially made from different resin ingredients. Primary ingredients for these films include several types of low density, linear low density polyethylene and polypropylene materials, and encompass many co-polymers of ethylene and propylene, as well as many specialty additives and pigments.
     Institutional Products. This division sources film manufactured by Custom Films and converts the film into disposable poly gloves, bibs, aprons and table covers at its manufacturing facility in Mankato, Minnesota. Institutional Products is predominantly an automated converting facility that enjoys a low cost manufacturing position. The division holds a competitive advantage through vertical integration with base film supplied from Custom Films’ Mankato, Minnesota operation.
     Injection Molding. We operate molding presses ranging from 30 to 1,000 tons and related secondary equipment at seven plants located in Henderson, Kentucky; Ft. Smith, Arkansas; Warren, Ohio; LaVergne, Tennessee; Jackson, Tennessee; Alamo, Texas; and Elkhart, Indiana. The variety of equipment configurations and plant locations enables us to fulfill customer requirements, including multiple components, various press sizes and secondary operations.
     Our injection molding customers generally place orders for products based on their production requirements for the following three to four months, with a non-binding estimate of requirements over six to 12 months. We believe that the relatively long production cycles for our customers make these estimates reliable. See Item 1, “Business — Backlog.”
     A wide variety of materials, such as acrylonitrile butabiene styrene, polystyrene, polyethylene, polycarbonate and nylon are used in the manufacturing process.
     Profile Extrusion. We manufacture our extruded plastic parts at our two facilities located in Elkhart, Indiana. Five basic types of compound materials are used in the manufacturing process. These materials are polyvinyl chloride in both rigid and flexible forms, polyethylene, polypropylene and thermoplastic rubber.
     Raw Materials. The raw materials we use in the manufacture of our products are various plastic resins, primarily polyethylene. We select our suppliers on the basis of quality, price, technical support and service. We have contracts with resin manufacturers that allow us to achieve what we believe to be the best combination of price, resin availability and new product development support. We believe our relationships with our resin suppliers are good. We do not hedge the purchase of our raw materials, though we do manage our resin inventory levels with a view toward the expected direction of resin prices. Virtually all of our plastic resin supplies are manufactured within the United States. Although the plastics industry has from time to time experienced shortages of plastic resins, to date, including as recently as 2005, we have not experienced any such shortages. We believe that there are adequate sources available to meet our raw material needs.
     We use over 300 million pounds of plastic resins annually. We believe that our large volume purchases of plastic resin have generally resulted in lower net raw material costs and enabled us to obtain shipments of raw materials even in periods of short supply.
     The primary plastic resins we use are produced from petrochemical feedstock mostly derived from natural gas liquids. Based on the supply and demand cycles in the petrochemical industry, substantial cyclical price fluctuations can occur. Consequently, plastic resin prices often fluctuate, and such prices fluctuated significantly during 1999 through 2005. See Item 1A, “Risk Factors.” Our financial performance is dependent on raw material prices and our ability to pass on price increases to customers.

Competition
     Our operating units face intense competition from numerous competitors, several of which have greater financial resources than we do. In addition, the markets for certain of our products are characterized by a low cost of entry or competition based primarily on price.
     Plastic Films competes with a limited number of producers capable of national distribution and a greater number of smaller manufacturers that target specific regional markets and specialty film segments. Competition is based on quality, price, service (including the manufacturer’s ability to supply customers in a timely manner), and product differentiation. We believe Plastic Films successfully competes on the basis of its established reputation for service and quality, as well as its position as an innovative, efficient, low cost producer.
     Injection Molding competes in a highly fragmented segment of the plastics industry, with a large number of regional manufacturers competing on the basis of customer service (including timely delivery and engineering/design capabilities), quality, and price. We believe that our custom injection molding business successfully competes based on its ability to offer extensive customer service, manufacturing efficiencies, and a wide range of production capabilities. Our proprietary building products business competes with large and well established suppliers to the industry and on the basis of product differentiation and service. Our cedar replica siding is recognized as having the most authentic appearance and is offered in the broadest array of colors in the industry.
     Profile Extrusion competes regionally with a number of smaller extruders that focus on specialized niche markets. Competition is driven primarily by cost, quality, and service levels. We believe that Profile Extrusion successfully competes based on its competitive cost structure, high service levels, strong production capabilities and efficiencies, and broad geographic reach.
Backlog
     Our total backlog at December 31, 2005 was approximately $20.5 million, compared with approximately $29.1 million at December 31, 2004. We do not consider any specific month’s backlog to be a significant indicator of sales trends due to the various factors that influence backlog, such as price changes, which lead to customer inventory order adjustments.

Environmental Regulation
     Actions by federal, state and local governments concerning environmental matters could result in laws or regulations that could increase the cost of producing the products we manufacture or otherwise adversely affect the demand for our products. At present, environmental laws and regulations do not have a material adverse effect upon the demand for our products. Certain local governments have adopted ordinances prohibiting or restricting the use or disposal of certain plastic products that are among the types we produce.
     In addition, certain of our operations are subject to federal, state and local environmental laws and regulations that impose limitations on the discharge of pollutants into the air and water and establish standards for the treatment, storage and disposal of solid and hazardous wastes. Historically, we have not had to make significant capital expenditures for compliance with such laws and regulations.
     While we cannot predict with any certainty our future capital expenditure requirements for environmental regulatory compliance because of continually changing compliance standards and technology, we have not currently identified any of our facilities as requiring major expenditures for environmental remediation or to achieve compliance with environmental regulations. Accordingly, we have not accrued any amounts relating to achieving compliance with currently promulgated environmental laws and regulations. See Item 1A, “Risk Factors.” Environmental, health and safety matters could require material expenditures and changes in our operations.
ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS
     An investment in our common stock involves a high degree of risk. You should carefully consider the factors described below, in addition to those discussed elsewhere in this report, in analyzing an investment in the common stock. If any of the events described below occurs, our business, financial condition and results of operations would likely suffer and the trading price of our common stock could fall.
     The following factors could cause our actual results to differ materially from those projected in forward-looking statements, whether made in this 10-K, annual or quarterly reports to shareholders, future press releases, SEC filings or orally, whether in presentations, responses to questions or otherwise. See “Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements.”
Our substantial indebtedness could adversely affect our financial health and prevent us from fulfilling future obligations.
     As of February 28, 2006 we had $211.8 million of outstanding indebtedness, approximately $0.1 million in cash and cash equivalents and an additional approximate $9.1 million of unused availability under our credit facilities, net of outstanding letters of credit of $1.6 million.
     Our substantial indebtedness could have negative consequences. For example, it could:
    increase our vulnerability to general adverse economic and industry conditions;
 
    require us to dedicate a substantial portion of our cash flow from operations to payments on our indebtedness, thereby reducing the availability of our cash flow to fund working capital, capital expenditures, product development efforts and other general corporate purposes;
 
    limit our flexibility in planning for, or reacting to, changes in our business and the industries in which we operate, including our ability to pursue attractive acquisition opportunities;
 
    place us at a competitive disadvantage compared to our competitors that have less debt; and
 
    limit our ability to borrow additional funds.
     In addition, our credit agreements contain financial and other restrictive covenants that limit our ability to engage in activities that may be in our long term best interests. Our failure to comply with those covenants could result in an event of default which, if not cured or waived, could result in the acceleration of all of our debts.
We face intense competition that could result in our losing or failing to gain market share and adversely affect our results of operations.

Table of Contents

     We face intense competition from numerous competitors, several of which have greater financial resources than us. In addition, the markets for certain of our products are characterized by low cost of entry or competition based primarily on price. This intense competition could result in pricing pressures, lower sales, reduced margins and lower market share.
     Plastic Films competes with a limited number of producers capable of national distribution and a greater number of smaller manufacturers that target specific regional markets and specialty film segments competing on the basis of quality, price, service (including the manufacturer’s ability to supply customers in a timely manner) and product differentiation.
     Injection Molding competes in a highly fragmented segment of the plastics industry, with a large number of regional manufacturers competing on the basis of customer service (including timely delivery and engineering/design capabilities), quality, product differentiation and price. Our building products business competes with large and well established suppliers to the industry, competing on the basis of product differentiation and service.
     Profile Extrusion competes regionally with a number of smaller extruders that focus on specialized niche markets, competing on the basis of cost, quality and service levels.
     There can be no assurance that we will continue to compete successfully in the markets for our products or that competition in such markets will not intensify.
Our financial performance is dependent on raw material prices and our ability to pass on price increases to customers.
     The primary raw materials we use in the manufacture of our products are various plastic resins, primarily polyethylene. Our financial performance therefore is dependent to a substantial extent on the polyethylene resin market. The capacity, supply and demand for plastic resins and the petrochemical intermediates from which they are produced are subject to substantial cyclical price fluctuations and other market disturbances, including supply shortages. Consequently, plastic resin prices may fluctuate as a result of changes in natural gas and crude oil prices. While we attempt to pass through changes in the cost of our raw materials to our customers in the form of price increases, we cannot be assured that we will be able to do so in the future. To the extent that increases in the cost of plastic resins cannot be passed on to our customers, or the duration of time lags associated with a pass through becomes significant, such increases may have a material adverse effect on our profitability. Furthermore, during periods when resin prices are falling, gross profits may suffer, as we will be selling products manufactured with resin purchased one to two months prior at higher prices.
Sales to one of our customers accounted for 12% of our net sales in 2005, and the loss of sales to that customer could harm our business, financial condition and results of operations.
     Sales to Whirlpool Corporation accounted for 12% of our net sales in 2005. A significant reduction in Whirlpool’s volume, or the loss of Whirlpool as a customer, could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
Our acquisitions carry risks.
     Acquisitions and investments involve numerous risks such as diversion of senior management’s attention, unsuccessful integration of the acquired entity’s personnel, operations, technologies and products, lack of market acceptance of new services and technologies or a shift in industry dynamics that negatively impacts the forecasted demand for the new products. Impairment of goodwill and other intangible assets may result if these risks materialize. There can be no assurance that an acquired business will perform as expected or generate significant net sales or profits. In addition, acquisitions may involve the assumption of obligations or significant one-time write-offs. In order to finance any future acquisitions, we may need to raise additional funds through public or private financings.
Our business may suffer if any of our key senior executives discontinues employment with us or if we are unable to recruit and retain highly qualified employees.
     Our future success depends to a large extent on the services of our key managerial employees. We may not be able to retain our executive officers and key personnel or attract additional qualified management in the future. Our business also depends on our continuing ability to recruit, train and retain highly qualified employees. The competition for these employees is intense, and the loss of these employees could harm our business.
Our intellectual property rights may be inadequate to protect our business.
     We attempt to protect our intellectual property rights through a combination of intellectual property laws, including patents. Our failure to obtain or maintain adequate protection of our intellectual property rights for any reason could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.

-11-


Table of Contents

     We also rely on unpatented proprietary technology. It is possible that others will independently develop the same or similar technology or otherwise obtain access to our unpatented technology. If we are unable to maintain the proprietary nature of our technologies, we could be materially adversely affected.
     We rely on our trademarks, trade names and brand names to distinguish our products from the products of our competitors, and have registered or applied to register many of these trademarks. There can be no assurance that our trademark applications will be approved. Third parties may also oppose our trademark applications, or otherwise challenge our use of the trademarks. In the event that our trademarks are successfully challenged, we could be forced to rebrand our products, which could result in loss of brand recognition, and could require us to devote resources to advertising and marketing new brands. Further, we cannot be assured that competitors will not infringe our trademarks, or that we will have adequate resources to enforce our trademarks.
If third parties claim that we infringe upon their intellectual property rights, our operating profits could be adversely affected.
     We face the risk of claims that we have infringed third parties’ intellectual property rights. Any claims of patent or other intellectual property infringement, even those without merit, could:
    be expensive and time consuming to defend;
 
    cause us to cease making, licensing or using products that incorporate the challenged intellectual property;
 
    require us to redesign, reengineer, or rebrand our products, if feasible;
 
    divert management’s attention and resources; or
 
    require us to enter into royalty or licensing agreements in order to obtain the right to use a third party’s intellectual property.
     Any royalty or licensing agreements, if required, may not be available to us on acceptable terms or at all. A successful claim of infringement against us could result in our being required to pay significant damages, enter into costly license or royalty agreements, or stop the sale of certain products, any of which could have a negative impact on our operating profits and harm our future prospects.
If our products infringe on the intellectual property rights of others, we may be required to indemnify our customers for any damages they suffer.
     We generally indemnify our customers with respect to infringement by our products of the proprietary rights of third parties. Third parties may assert infringement claims against our customers. These claims may require us to initiate or defend protracted and costly litigation on behalf of our customers, regardless of the merits of these claims. If any of these claims succeed, we may be forced to pay damages on behalf of our customers or may be required to obtain licenses for the products they use. If we cannot obtain all necessary licenses on commercially reasonable terms, our customers may be forced to stop using our products.
Environmental, health and safety matters could require material expenditures and changes in our operations.
     We are subject to various environmental, health and safety laws and regulations which govern our operations and which may adversely affect our production costs. Actions by federal, state and local governments concerning environmental, health and safety matters could result in laws or regulations that could increase the cost of producing the products we manufacture or otherwise adversely affect the demand for our products. Certain local governments have adopted ordinances prohibiting or restricting the use or disposal of certain plastic products that are among the types we produce. If such prohibitions or restrictions were widely adopted, it could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. In addition, a decline in consumer preference for plastic products due to environmental considerations could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
     In addition, certain of our operations are subject to federal, state and local environmental laws and regulations that impose limitations on the discharge of pollutants into the air and water and establish standards for the treatment, storage and disposal of solid and hazardous wastes. Non-compliance could subject us to material liabilities, such as fines, damages, criminal or civil sanctions and remediation costs, or result in interruptions in our operations. We believe our operations are

-12-


Table of Contents

currently in substantial compliance with these laws and regulations. However, there is no assurance that we have been or will be at all times in compliance with all of these requirements and that the resolution of these environmental matters will not have an adverse effect on our results of operations, financial condition and cash flows in any given period.
     Under certain environmental laws, liability for the cleanup of contaminated sites can be imposed retroactively and on a joint and several basis. We could be held responsible for all cleanup costs at a site, whether currently or formerly owned or operated as well as third party sites to which we may have sent waste, and regardless of fault or the legality of the original disposal. While we are not currently aware of contaminated or Superfund sites as to which material outstanding claims or obligations exist, there may be additional sites or contaminants of which we are unaware. The discovery of currently unknown contaminants or the imposition of cleanup obligations could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations or financial condition.
     Environmental laws and regulations are complex, and both the laws and regulations and the interpretation thereof, change frequently and have tended to become more stringent over time. Future developments could restrict or eliminate the use of, or require us to make modifications to our products, which could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations, financial condition and cash flows in any given period. Although we cannot predict with any certainty our future capital expenditure requirements for environmental regulatory compliance, we have not currently identified any of our facilities as requiring major expenditures for environmental remediation or to achieve compliance with environmental regulations. Accordingly, we have not accrued any amounts relating to such expenditures. We do not currently have any insurance coverage for environmental liabilities and do not anticipate obtaining such coverage in the future.
Our major shareholder has significant influence over our business and could delay, deter or prevent a change of control or other business combination.
     As of December 31, 2005, Earl Powell, our Chairman of the Board, holds approximately 47.2% of our voting power, and is able to exert significant control over our affairs, including the election of a majority of our board, the appointment of our management, the entering into of mergers, sales of substantially all of our assets and other extraordinary transactions. His interests could conflict with those of our other shareholders.

ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Overview
     We are a leading U.S. manufacturer of high quality specialty plastic films and custom molded and extruded plastic products used for storage and transportation, food service, appliance, automotive, commercial and consumer applications. We currently operate 15 manufacturing facilities, and we believe we are a low cost producer in many of our product lines. We operate through three operating business segments: Plastic Films, Injection Molding and Profile Extrusion.
     Plastic Films, which accounted for approximately 64% of our net sales in 2005, is a leading manufacturer of specialty plastic films. Plastic Films is comprised of three operating divisions: Stretch Films, Custom Films and Institutional Products. Stretch Films produces high quality, multilayer plastic films that are used to cover, package and protect products for storage and transportation applications. We believe we are one of the largest producers of stretch films in the United States. Custom Films produces customized monolayer and multilayer specialty plastic films used as a substrate in multilayer laminates in foam padding for carpet, automotive and medical applications, and as industrial and protective packaging. Institutional Products converts custom films into disposable products such as table covers, gloves and aprons, which are used primarily in institutional food service.
     Injection Molding, which accounted for approximately 28% of our net sales in 2005, is a leading manufacturer of both custom and proprietary injection molded products. Injection Molding produces a number of custom injection molded components that are sold primarily to original equipment manufacturers in the home appliance, automotive parts, recreational vehicle and construction industries. Injection Molding also manufactures a line of proprietary plastic “cedar shake” siding panels for the home building industry and residential replacement market under the CedarwayÒ trade name.
     Profile Extrusion, which accounted for approximately 8% of our net sales in 2005, is a manufacturer of custom extruded plastic products, primarily for use in consumer and commercial products, including recreational vehicles, mobile homes, residential doors and windows, office furniture and appliances. We believe we are one of the leading manufacturers of custom extruded plastic products for recreational vehicles.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
     Our discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations is based upon our consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. Note 1 to our consolidated financial statements describes the significant accounting policies and methods used in the preparation of these financial statements. The preparation of these financial statements also requires management to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. On an ongoing basis, our management evaluates these estimates, including those related to revenue recognition, intangible assets, sales returns and allowances, bad debts and contingencies. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ materially from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.
     We believe the following critical accounting policies affect the more significant judgments and estimates used in the preparation of our consolidated financial statements.
Revenue recognition and accounts receivable: We recognize revenue upon shipment of our products to customers, giving consideration to product shipping terms. Receivables are currently due from customers based on negotiated payment terms. Our allowance for doubtful accounts is recorded based on specific review and analysis of customer account balances and historical trends. An allowance for sales returns is recorded based on management’s estimate of product returns, primarily based on historical trends. We perform ongoing credit assessments of our customers and adjust credit limits based upon payment history, the customer’s current credit worthiness and any other relevant customer specific credit information. While historical credit losses have been within our expectations and the provisions established, it is possible that future credit losses could be higher or lower.
Inventories: Inventories are stated at the lower of cost (first-in, first-out) or market. Cost includes materials, labor and overhead. Market, with respect to all inventories, is the lower of replacement cost or net realizable value. Management periodically reviews inventory to determine the necessity of reserves for excess, obsolete or unsaleable inventory. These reviews require management

-17-


Table of Contents

to assess customer and market demand. These estimates may differ from actual results, in which case we may have overstated or understated the reserve required for excess, obsolete or unsaleable inventory.
Goodwill: We review goodwill and identifiable intangible assets for impairment on an annual basis or on an interim basis if an event occurs that might reduce the fair value of the goodwill or identifiable intangible assets below their carrying value. An impairment loss would be recognized based on the difference between the carrying value of the asset and its estimated fair value, which would be determined based on either discounted future cash flows or other appropriate valuation methods.
     Specifically, we have goodwill, which represents the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of identifiable assets and liabilities of acquired businesses, of $51.4 million (net of accumulated amortization of $22.5 million) at December 31, 2005 and 2004. Based upon our analysis, we have determined there are no indicators of an impairment of goodwill as of December 31, 2005 in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 142, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets” (“SFAS 142”).
     Although we currently believe that the estimates of each reporting unit’s fair value used in the evaluation of goodwill are reasonable, differences between actual and expected revenue, operating results, and cash flow could cause these assets to be deemed impaired. If this were to occur, we would be required to charge to earnings the write-down in value of such assets, which could have a material adverse effect on its results of operations and financial position.
Self-Insurance: We are self-insured for the majority of our group health insurance costs, subject to specific retention levels. Our reserve for health insurance claims incurred but not paid is based on historical claims information. In addition, we are self-insured for the majority of our workers’ compensation costs. We establish reserves for workers’ compensation claims utilizing insurance industry loss development factors, as well as specific estimates of settlement costs for individual claims. While we believe that our assumptions are appropriate, significant differences in actual experience or significant changes in assumptions may have a material effect on our group health insurance and workers’ compensation costs.

Comparison of Years Ended December 31, 2005 and 2004
Net Sales
     Net sales increased to $424.3 million in 2005, compared with $347.8 million in 2004, a 22% increase. Net sales for our Plastic Films segment increased to $273.0 million in 2005, compared with $222.2 million in 2004, a 23% increase. This increase was primarily the result of increased selling prices, on average in 2005, driven by significant increases in resin costs, partly due to the Gulf Coast hurricanes in 2005. The increase is also the results of a 4% increase in sales volume (measured in pounds). Net sales for our Injection Molding segment increased to $116.1 million in 2005, compared with $99.9 million in 2004, a 16% increase. This increase was the result of growth within both the segment’s building products business and traditional custom injection molded products business. Net sales for our Profile Extrusion segment increased to $35.3 million in 2005, compared with $25.7 million in 2004, a 37% increase. This increase was primarily the result of the acquisition of LaVanture in November 2004. See Note 2 — Acquisitions of Businesses and Assets.
Gross Profit
     Gross profit, as a percentage of net sales, declined slightly to 15%, compared with 16% for 2004. During 2005, our Plastic Films segment experienced volatility in raw material prices with average raw material prices increasing 25%. Despite the overall increase in raw material prices, our Plastic Films segment’s gross margin decreased marginally to 15% in 2005 compared with 16% in 2004, due to our ability to pass through raw material cost increases. In our Injection Molding segment, gross margin remained flat at 16% for both 2005 and 2004. Our Profile Extrusion segment’s gross margin decreased to 19% in 2005 from 23% in 2004. This decrease was primarily the result of a significant weakness in the RV sector and manufacturing inefficiencies in consolidating and integrating the LaVanture and Atlantis facilities in Elkhart, Indiana.
Selling, General and Administrative Expense
     Our selling, general and administrative (“SG&A”) expense increased to $36.1 million in 2005, compared with $32.7 million in 2004. This increase was primarily the result of higher incentive compensation costs. Additionally, 2005 was negatively impacted by $0.5 million of non-cash compensation expense related to the cancellation of stock options and $0.6 million of cash costs associated with a financing effort that was not consummated. SG&A expenses as a percentage of net sales remained flat at 9% for both 2005 and 2004.
Net Interest Expense and Income Taxes
     Interest expense, net of interest income, increased to $18.8 million in 2005, compared with $5.6 million in 2004. This increase was primarily the result of the additional borrowings outstanding under the new credit agreement in connection with the one-time special dividend, option cancellations, and related fees and expenses, and to a lesser extent a higher average borrowing cost in 2005 when compared with the prior year. Additionally, net interest expense for 2005 includes a $3.8 million non-cash write-off of unamortized deferred financing costs on previously existing senior debt. See “Liquidity and Capital Resources” and Note 6 — Long-term debt.
     Our 2005 and 2004 effective income tax rate was 35% and 37%, respectively. The 2005 and 2004 effective income tax rate differed from the applicable federal statutory rate due to the effect of state income taxes. In addition, in 2005, the Company benefited from the enactment of the American Jobs Creation Act of 2004 that added the domestic production activities deduction, a tax benefit for certain domestic production activities.
Income
     As a result of the factors described above, operating income increased to $29.1 million, or 7% of net sales, in 2005, compared with $23.8 million, or 7% of net sales, in 2004. Net income and earnings per share amounts were as follows:
                 
    2005     2004  
Net income
  $ 6.7 million     $ 11.5 million  
Basic earnings per share
  $ 0.82     $ 1.49  
Diluted earnings per share

Comparison of Years Ended December 31, 2004 and 2003
Net Sales
     Net sales increased to $347.8 million in 2004, compared with $289.1 million in 2003, a 20% increase. Net sales for our Plastic Films segment increased to $222.2 million in 2004, compared with $186.4 million in 2003, a 19% increase. This increase was the result of a 10% increase in sales volume (measured in pounds) as well as increases in average selling prices in 2004. Net sales for our Injection Molding segment increased to $99.9 million in 2004, compared with $81.3 million in 2003, a 23% increase. This increase was the result of growth within both the segment’s building products business and custom injection molded products business. Net sales for our Profile Extrusion segment increased to $25.7 million in 2004, compared with $21.3 million in 2003, a 21% increase. This increase was primarily attributable to increased demand in both the manufactured housing and office furniture sectors.
Gross Profit
     Gross profit, as a percentage of net sales, remained flat at 16% in 2004, when compared with 2003. During 2004, our Plastic Films segment experienced volatility in raw material prices with average raw material prices increasing 13%. Despite the volatility in raw material prices, our Plastic Films segment’s gross margin remained steady at 16% in 2004 compared with 2003, due to our ability to pass through raw material cost increases. In our Injection Molding segment, gross margin increased to 16% in 2004, compared with 15% in 2003. This increase was primarily due to growth within the building products and custom molded products businesses. Our Profile Extrusion segment’s gross margin decreased to 23% in 2004 from 24% in 2003. This decrease can be attributed primarily to increases in raw material costs, which were not fully passed through to customers.
Selling, General and Administrative Expense
     Our selling, general and administrative (“SG&A”) expense increased to $32.7 million in 2004 compared with $28.4 million in 2003. SG&A expenses as a percentage of net sales decreased in 2004 to 9% from 10% in 2003. The increase was primarily the result of increases in incentive and other compensation costs.
Net Interest Expense and Income Taxes
     Interest expense, net of interest income, decreased 3% to $5.6 million in 2004 from $5.8 million in 2003. The decrease was the result of lower average borrowings and lower average interest rates in 2004.
     Our effective income tax rate was 37% for both 2004 and 2003. The effective income tax rate differed from the applicable federal statutory rate due to the effect of state income taxes.
Income
     As a result of the factors described above, operating income increased to $23.8 million, or 7% of net sales, in 2004, compared with $18.5 million, or 6% of net sales, in 2003. Net income and earnings per share amounts were as follows:
                 
    2004     2003  
Net income
  $ 11.5 million     $ 8.2 million  
Basic earnings per share

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
     At December 31, 2005, we had $199.2 million of outstanding indebtedness, $0.2 million of cash and cash equivalents and an additional $22.1 million of unused availability under the credit facility in place, net of outstanding letters of credit of approximately $1.6 million. Our principal needs for liquidity, on both a short and long-term basis, relate to working capital (principally accounts receivable and inventories), debt service, and capital expenditures. Our working capital, defined as current assets less current liabilities, at December 31, 2005 totaled $59.9 million (including cash and cash equivalents of $0.2 million), compared with $45.0 million (including cash and cash equivalents of $0.1 million) at December 31, 2004.
     On January 31, 2005, we agreed to cancel certain outstanding stock options of Anthony F. Bova, President and Chief Executive Officer, which would have otherwise expired on that date. In exchange for the cancellation of his 350,000 shares, Mr. Bova received a cash payment of approximately $2.4 million on the date of the special dividend payment. The purpose of this option cancellation agreement was to provide Mr. Bova with a payment similar to the dividend he would otherwise have received on the shares had Mr. Bova exercised the options that were cancelled.
     On March 11, 2005, we agreed to cancel the outstanding stock options of certain of our management, officers and directors (the “Optionees”) for cash payments of approximately $2.0 million in aggregate in anticipation of the one-time dividend payment. The purpose of the option cancellation arrangements was to provide each Optionee with a payment similar to the dividend he or she would otherwise have received on the shares issuable upon the exercise of the options to be cancelled. Accordingly, on April 8, 2005, we cancelled an aggregate of 228,800 outstanding stock options previously granted to the Optionees.
     On March 22, 2005, our Board of Directors declared a special, one-time cash dividend of $12.50 per common share, which was paid April 8, 2005, to shareholders of record as of April 1, 2005. This dividend aggregated approximately $103.2 million and was funded by the proceeds from the credit agreement entered into on March 22, 2005.
     As a result of the option cancellations described above, we recorded related compensation expense in the amount of $408,000 during fiscal 2005 in accordance with the provisions of SFAS 123R, Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123R, “Share-Based Payment”, which we adopted on January 1, 2005. See Note 1 — Stock-Based Compensation.
     On March 22, 2005, we secured a new $220 million credit facility provided by a syndicate of financial institutions. Substantially all of our assets are pledged as collateral under this Credit Agreement. The proceeds of the Credit Agreement were used to repay then existing senior secured debt of $83.9 million outstanding on March 22, 2005 and to pay related fees and expenses. The remainder of the proceeds was used to pay a $103.2 million special dividend to shareholders and $4.4 million to holders of outstanding stock options in exchange for the cancellation of these options, both on April 8, 2005. Additionally, we incurred approximately $0.6 million of cash costs associated with a financing effort that was not consummated during January 2005. See Note 6 — Long-term Debt.
     Capital expenditures were $16.9 million compared with $12.9 million for the years ended December 31, 2005 and 2004, respectively. We expect that our capital expenditures with aggregate approximately $18.0 million in fiscal year 2006.
     We presently do not have any other material commitments for future capital expenditures and expect to meet our short and long-term liquidity needs with cash on hand, funds generated from operations, and funds available under our senior credit facility.
Cash Flows from Operating Activities
     Net cash provided by operating activities was approximately $8.8 million in 2005, compared with $6.5 million in 2004. The difference between our net income in 2005 of $6.7 million and our $8.8 million operating cash flow was primarily attributable to approximately $17.7 million of depreciation and amortization expense (including a $3.8 million write-off of deferred financing costs related to our old credit facility), offset by a $11.1 million increase in accounts receivable, resulting from higher sales, and a $3.5 million increase in inventories, primarily resulting from higher resin prices and a larger level of finished goods inventory. The difference between our net income in 2004 of $11.5 million and our $6.5 million operating cash flow was primarily attributable to approximately $11.3 million of depreciation expense and a $4.1 million increase in accounts payable and accrued expenses offset by a $6.4 million increase in accounts receivable, due to a higher level of sales, and a $13.7 million increase in inventories primarily due to higher resin prices and a larger level of raw materials inventory.
Cash Flows from Investing Activities
     Net cash used for investing activities totaled $16.9 million for 2005 compared with $22.3 million 2004. Net cash used for investing activities in 2005 related to the support, development and enhancement of new and existing products, as well as facility upgrades and expansions. Net cash used for investing activities in 2004 included $9.4 million for the purchase of

LaVanture and $12.9 million of capital expenditures primarily related to capacity expansion within our building products and custom injection molding businesses.
     We expect that our capital expenditures will aggregate approximately $18.0 million in fiscal 2006. This amount is comprised of approximately $11.5 million to fund expansion and $6.5 million for maintenance capital expenditures.
Cash Flows from Financing Activities
     Net cash provided by financing activities was $8.2 million in 2005, compared with $12.8 million in 2004. Net cash provided by financing activities in 2005 reflects net repayments of $15.9 million under our senior credit facilities, proceeds of $195.0 million from our new Credit Agreement entered into on March 22, 2005, payment of $6.8 million of deferred financing costs associated with the new Credit Agreement and a financing effort that was not consummated, payment of a $103.2 million special dividend, total repayment of term loans of $71.1 million, net proceeds of $3.5 million from bonds issued, proceeds from the exercise of stock options of $2.5 million, an income tax benefit of $3.7 million relating to the option exercises and cancellations, and repayments of notes receivable from shareholders of $0.5 million. Net cash provided by financing activities in 2004 reflects net borrowings of $10.5 million under our credit facilities, proceeds from the exercise of stock options of $1.0 million, a related income tax benefit of $0.5 million, and repayments of notes receivable from shareholders of $0.8 million.
     The following table summarizes our significant contractual obligations as of December 31, 2005, and the effect such obligations are expected to have on our liquidity and cash flows in future periods (in thousands):

Recent Accounting Pronouncements
     On December 16, 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123R, “Share-Based Payment” (“SFAS 123R”), which is a revision of FASB Statement No. 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation” and supersedes Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees.” SFAS 123R requires all share-based payments, including stock options, to be recognized in the income statement based on their fair values. Pro forma disclosure will no longer be an alternative. SFAS 123R permits companies to adopt its requirements using one of two methods: (1) a “modified prospective” method in which compensation cost is recognized beginning with the effective date (a) based on the requirements of SFAS 123R for all share-based payments granted after the effective date and (b) based on the requirements of SFAS 123R for all awards granted to employees prior to the effective date of SFAS 123R that remain unvested on the effective date, and (2) a “modified retrospective” method which includes the requirements of the modified prospective method, but also permits entities to restate based on the amounts previously recognized under Statement 123 for purposes of pro forma disclosures either (a) all prior periods presented or (b) prior interim periods of the year of adoption.
     We adopted SFAS 123R as of January 1, 2005 using the modified prospective method. The adoption resulted in unrecognized compensation cost of approximately $461,000 as of January 1, 2005 related to unvested options as calculated using the Black-Scholes model. Recognition of such compensation to expense was $53,000 for the period prior to our agreement to cancel all outstanding options. Upon cancellation of the options, the remaining unrecognized compensation cost of $408,000 was expensed (see also Note 10. New Accounting Standards). No further compensation expense will be recognized related to share based payments until any new share based payments are made.
     Statement No. 151, “Inventory Costs, an Amendment of ARB No. 43, Chapter 4” (“SFAS 151”), amends ARB No. 43 to clarify that abnormal amounts of idle facility expense, freight, handling costs, and wasted materials (spoilage) should be recognized as current-period charges. In addition, this Statement requires that allocation of fixed production overheads to the costs of conversion be based on the normal capacity of the production facilities. The provisions of this Statement shall be effective for inventory costs incurred during fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2005. We have not adopted SFAS 151 as of December 31, 2005; however, we do not expect the adoption of SFAS 151 to have a material effect on our consolidated financial statements.
     The FASB recently issued Statement No. 154, Accounting Changes and Error Corrections, a replacement of APB Opinion No. 20, Accounting Changes, and FASB Statement No. 3, Reporting Accounting Changes in Interim Financial Statements. The Statement applies to all voluntary changes in accounting principle, and changes the requirements for accounting for and reporting of a change in accounting principle. Statement 154 is the result of a broader effort by the FASB to improve the comparability of cross-border financial reporting by working with the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) toward development of a single set of accounting standards. Statement 154 requires retrospective application to prior periods’ financial statements of a voluntary change in accounting principle unless it is impracticable. Opinion 20 previously required that most voluntary changes in accounting principle be recognized by including in net income of the period of the change the cumulative effect of changing to the new accounting principle. Statement 154 is effective for accounting changes and corrections of errors made in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2005. Earlier application is permitted for accounting changes and corrections of errors made occurring in fiscal years beginning after June 1, 2005. The Statement does not change the transition provisions of any existing accounting pronouncements, including those that are in a transition phase as of the effective date of this Statement.

ITEM 7A. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
     We are exposed to market risks that may impact our financial condition and financial results due to changing interest rates and foreign exchange rates. The following discussion provides additional information regarding our market risks.
     Interest Rate Risk: On March 22, 2005, the Company replaced its then existing credit facility and entered into a new financing agreement resulting in total variable rate-debt of $195.7 million outstanding at December 31, 2005, compared with $87.7 million at December 31, 2004. Based on the Company’s variable-rate obligations outstanding at December 31, 2005, and December 31, 2004, each 25 basis point increase or decrease in the level of interest rates would, respectively, increase or decrease annual interest expense and related cash payments by approximately $0.2 million in both years. Such potential increases or decreases are based on certain simplifying assumptions, including a constant level of variable-rate debt for all maturities and an immediate, across-the-board increase or decrease in the level of interest rates with no other subsequent changes for the remainder of the period. On June 6, 2005, the Company entered into an interest rate swap contract, with a notional amount of $125.0 million, to effectively fix the interest rate at 3.865% on a portion of its floating rate debt. The Company uses this interest rate swap agreement to manage its exposure of interest rate changes on the Company’s variable rate debt.
     Foreign Exchange Rate Risk: We have a Canadian dollar bank account and therefore are exposed to foreign exchange currency market risk. We have determined this risk to be immaterial at both December 31, 2005 and December 31, 2004 based on the balance maintained in that account and the overall level of our Canadian operations.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
The Board of Directors and Shareholders of Atlantis Plastics, Inc.
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Atlantis Plastics, Inc. as of December 31, 2005 and 2004, and the related consolidated statements of income, shareholders’ (deficit) equity, and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2005. Our audits also included the financial statement schedule listed in the Index at Item 15(a). These financial statements and schedule are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and schedule based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. We were not engaged to perform an audit of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Our audit included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of Atlantis Plastics, Inc. at December 31, 2005 and 2004, and the consolidated results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2005, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. Also, in our opinion, the related financial statement schedule, when considered in relation to the basic financial statements taken as a whole, presents fairly in all material respects the information set forth therein.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Note 1. Nature of Business and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
     Atlantis Plastics, Inc. (“Atlantis” or the “Company”) through its wholly owned subsidiaries is a leading U.S. manufacturer of polyethylene stretch and custom films used in a variety of industrial and consumer applications, and molded plastic products for the appliance, automotive, recreational vehicle and building supply industries. The Company’s operations are reported as three segments: Plastic Films, Injection Molding, and Profile Extrusion.
     Plastic Films manufactures stretch films, which are monolayer or multilayer plastic films used principally to wrap pallets of industrial and commercial goods for shipping or storage and custom film products that include high-grade laminating films, embossed films and specialty films which serve the furniture, carpeting, textile, lamination, medical, beauty aids, manufacturing, and food packaging industries. Plastic Films also produces disposable consumer and institutional plastic products to the food service, party supply, and school and collegiate markets.
     Injection Molding manufactures a number of custom injection molded thermoplastic components that are sold primarily to original equipment manufacturers in the home appliance, automotive parts, recreational vehicle and construction industries. Injection Molding also manufactures a line of proprietary injection molded siding panels for the home building industry and the residential replacement market.
     Profile Extrusion manufactures custom extruded plastic products, primarily for use in consumer and commercial products including recreational vehicles, mobile homes, residential doors and windows, office furniture, and appliances.
     The following is a summary of the Company’s significant accounting policies:
Basis of presentation: The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Atlantis and its subsidiaries and certain assets and liabilities held in a Rabbi Trust related to an employee supplemental benefit plan. All material intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated.
Cash and cash equivalents: The Company classifies as cash and cash equivalents all highly liquid investments that present insignificant risk of changes in value and have maturities at the date of purchase of three months or less. The Company maintains its cash in bank deposit accounts that, at times, may exceed federally insured limits. The Company has not experienced any losses in such accounts.
Revenue recognition and accounts receivable: The Company recognizes revenue upon shipment of its products to customers, giving consideration to product shipping terms. Receivables are currently due from customers based on negotiated payment terms. The allowance for doubtful accounts is recorded based on specific review and analysis of customer account balances and historical trends. The allowance for sales returns is recorded based on management’s estimate of product returns, primarily based on historical trends. The Company performs ongoing credit assessments of its customers and adjusts credit limits based upon payment history, the customer’s current credit worthiness and any other relevant customer specific credit information. Historical credit losses have been within our expectations and the provisions established.
Inventories: Inventories are stated at the lower of cost (first-in, first-out) or market. Cost includes materials, labor and overhead. Market, with respect to all inventories, is the lower of replacement cost or net realizable value. Management periodically reviews inventory to determine the necessity of reserves for excess, obsolete or unsaleable inventory.
Goodwill: The Company reviews goodwill and identifiable intangible assets for impairment on an annual basis as of October 1, or on an interim basis if an event occurs that might reduce the fair value of the goodwill or identifiable intangible assets below their carrying value. An impairment loss would be recognized based on the difference between the carrying value of the asset and its estimated fair value, which would be determined based on either discounted future cash flows or other appropriate valuation methods. Reporting units are operational segments for which discrete financial information is available and for which management regularly reviews the operating results. The amount of goodwill allocated to a reporting unit is the excess of the fair value of the acquired business (or portion thereof) to be included in the reporting unit over the fair value assigned to the individual assets acquired and liabilities assumed that are assigned to the reporting unit.

-32-


Table of Contents

     Specifically, the Company has goodwill in excess of the purchase price over the fair value of identifiable assets and liabilities of acquired businesses of $51.4 million as of December 31, 2005 and 2004. These amounts are net of accumulated amortization of $22.5 million at both December 31, 2005 and 2004. Based upon its analysis, management has determined there are no indicators of impairment of goodwill as of December 31, 2005 in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 142, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets.”
     The carrying amounts of goodwill as recorded at each of the Company’s segments for the years ended December 31, 2005 and 2004 are summarized as follows (in millions):
                                 
    Plastic     Injection     Profile        
    Films     Molding     Extrusion     Total  
     
Goodwill, net
  $ 31.1     $ 10.0     $ 10.3     $ 51.4  
Self-insurance: The Company is self-insured for the majority of its group health insurance costs, subject to specific retention levels. The reserve for health insurance claims incurred but not paid is based on historical claims information. Additionally, the Company is self-insured for the majority of its workers’ compensation costs. The Company establishes reserves for workers’ compensation claims utilizing insurance industry loss development factors, as well as specific estimates of settlement costs for individual claims.
Property and equipment: Property and equipment are carried at cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation has been computed using the straight-line method based on the estimated useful lives of the respective assets. Such useful lives generally fall within the following ranges: buildings and improvements — 15 to 30 years; office furniture and equipment — 5 to 10 years; manufacturing equipment — 5 to 11 years; vehicles — 3 to 8 years; and computer hardware and software — 3 to 5 years.
     Property and equipment are evaluated for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amounts of such assets may not be recoverable. Recoverability estimates are based on the projected future cash flows expected to result from the use of the assets. An impairment loss is measured as the amount by which the carrying amount of the assets exceeds the fair value.
     When assets are retired or otherwise disposed of, the costs and accumulated depreciation are removed from the respective accounts and any related gain or loss is recognized. Maintenance and repair costs are charged to expense as incurred. Additions and improvements are capitalized when incurred.
Earnings per share: Earnings per share have been computed in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 128, “Earnings Per Share” (“SFAS 128”), which requires disclosure of basic and diluted earnings per share. Basic earnings per share exclude any dilutive effects of options, shares subject to repurchase, warrants, and convertible securities. Diluted earnings per share include the impact of potentially dilutive securities. See Note 10 – Earnings Per Share.
Stock-based compensation: Prior to January 1, 2005, the Company accounted for its stock-based employee compensation plans under the recognition and measurement provisions of Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees” (“APB 25”) and related Interpretations, as permitted by FASB Statement No. 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation” (“SFAS 123”). No stock-based employee compensation cost was recognized in the income statement as all options granted had an exercise price equal to the market value of the underlying common stock on the date of grant. Effective January 1, 2005, the Company elected to early adopt the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123R, “Share-Based Payment” (“SFAS 123R”), which requires all share-based payments, including stock options, to be recognized in the income statement based on their fair values and no longer allows pro forma disclosure as an alternative. The Company adopted this statement based on the “modified prospective” method, in which compensation cost is recognized beginning with the effective date (a) based on the requirements of SFAS 123R for all share-based payments granted after the effective date and (b) based on the requirements of SFAS 123R for all awards granted to employees prior to the effective date of SFAS 123R that remain unvested on the effective date. As the Company elected not to restate prior periods presented, the Company has provided the pro forma disclosures of the effect on net income and earnings per share for the years ended December 31, 2004 and 2003, as if the Company had accounted for its employee stock options granted under the fair value method of SFAS 123.

-33-


Table of Contents

     The adoption of SFAS 123R resulted in unrecognized compensation cost of approximately $461,000 as of January 1, 2005 related to unvested stock options based on their fair values as calculated using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. Recognition of such compensation to expense was $53,000 for the period prior to the Company’s agreement to cancel all outstanding stock options (discussed below), which resulted in expensing the remaining unrecognized compensation of $408,000. As a result of adopting SFAS 123R, the Company’s income before income taxes and net income for the year ended December 31, 2005 were $461,000 and $299,000 lower, respectively, than if it had continued to account for the share-based compensation under APB 25. Both basic and diluted earnings per share for the year ended December 31, 2005 would have been $0.85, if the Company had not adopted SFAS 123R, compared with reported basic and diluted earnings per share of $0.82 and $0.81, respectively. Prior to the adoption of SFAS 123R, the Company presented all tax benefits resulting from the exercise of stock options as operating cash flows in the Statement of Cash Flows. SFAS 123R requires that these cash flows now be classified as financing cash flows rather than operating cash flows. Thus, the $3.7 million tax benefit from the exercise of stock options classified as a financing cash inflow would have been classified as an operating cash inflow if the Company had not adopted SFAS 123R.
     No stock options were granted in 2005 and 2004. The fair value of the options granted in 2003 was estimated at the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model with the following weighted-average assumptions: dividend yield of 0%, volatility of 60%, risk-free interest rate of 3.53% and an expected life of six years for all grants.
     The Black-Scholes option valuation model was developed for use in estimating the fair value of options that have no vesting restrictions and are fully transferable. In addition, option valuation models require the input of highly subjective assumptions, including the expected stock price volatility. Because the Company’s employee stock options have characteristics significantly different from those of traded options and because changes in the subjective input assumptions can materially affect the fair value estimate, in management’s opinion, the existing models do not necessarily provide a reliable single measure of the fair value of its employee stock options.
     For purposes of pro forma disclosures, the estimated fair value of the options is amortized to expense on a straight-line basis over the options’ vesting period. The Company’s pro forma information for the years ended December 31, 2004 and 2003 is as follows (in thousands, except per share data):

Repair and maintenance expenses: Repair and maintenance expenses are expensed as incurred. Repair and maintenance expenses for the years ended December 31, 2005, 2004 and 2003 were approximately $1.4 million, $1.0 million and $1.0 million, respectively.
Advertising costs: The Company expenses all advertising costs as incurred. Advertising expenses for the years ended December 31, 2005, 2004 and 2003 were approximately $108.6 thousand, $103.8 thousand and $63.8 thousand, respectively.
Shipping and handling costs: The Company records costs incurred for shipping and handling in cost of sales.
Amortization: Loan acquisition costs and related legal fees are amortized over the respective terms of the related debt agreements utilizing either: (i) the effective interest method, or (ii) the straight-line method, when the results do not materially differ from the effective interest method. The Company currently utilizes the straight-line method for all deferred financing costs.
Income taxes: The Company and its subsidiaries file a consolidated federal income tax return. The Company provides for income taxes in accordance with the liability method, which requires the recognition of deferred income tax assets and liabilities associated with the expected future tax consequences of events that have been included in the financial statements. Under this method, deferred income tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the difference between the financial statements and tax basis of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to reverse.
Use of estimates: The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect: (i) the reported amounts of assets and liabilities; (ii) disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the dates of the consolidated financial statements; and (iii) reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Reclassifications: Certain amounts included in prior period consolidated financial statements have been reclassified to conform with the current year presentation.
Financial instruments: The fair value of current assets and current liabilities, including cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued liabilities approximates their carrying values due to the short maturity of the instruments. The carrying amounts of the Company’s total indebtedness at December 31, 2005 and 2004 approximate their fair values as they bear interest at variable market rates.
     The Company’s financial instruments that are exposed to concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents and accounts receivable. The Company places its cash and cash equivalents with high quality institutions. The Company’s three largest trade receivable balances as of December 31, 2005 represented 30% of the Company’s net accounts receivable, compared with 33% as of December 31, 2004. At December 31, 2005, Whirlpool Corporation’s accounts receivable balance was approximately $10.7 million, or 20% of the Company’s total net trade accounts receivable balance. At December 31, 2004, Whirlpool Corporation’s accounts receivable balance was $9.8 million, or 23% of the Company’s total net accounts receivable. Approximately 12%, 13% and 14% of the Company’s net sales in the years ended December 31, 2005, 2004, and 2003, respectively, were to Whirlpool Corporation. The Company generally does not require collateral from its customers for trade accounts receivable.
Derivative instruments and hedging activities: All derivatives are recorded on the consolidated balance sheet at fair value. On the date the derivative contract is entered, the Company designates the derivative as either (1) a fair value hedge of a recognized liability, (2) a cash flow hedge of a forecasted transaction, (3) the hedge of a net investment in a foreign operation, or (4) a non-designated derivative instrument. The Company is engaged in an interest rate swap agreement that is classified as a cash flow hedge. Changes in the fair value of derivatives that are classified as a cash flow hedge are recorded in other comprehensive income (loss) until reclassified into earnings at the time of settlement of the forecasted transaction.
     The Company formally documents all relationships between hedging instruments and hedged items as well as the risk management objectives and strategy. The Company formally assesses, both at the hedge’s inception and on an ongoing

basis, whether the derivatives that are used in hedging transactions are highly effective in offsetting changes in the hedged items. The Company does not utilize derivatives for speculative purposes.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements
     Statement No. 151, Inventory Costs, an Amendment of ARB No. 43, Chapter 4, amends ARB No. 43 to clarify that abnormal amounts of idle facility expense, freight, handling costs, and wasted materials (spoilage) should be recognized as current-period charges. In addition, this Statement requires that allocation of fixed production overheads to the costs of conversion be based on the normal capacity of the production facilities. The provisions of this Statement shall be effective for inventory costs incurred during fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2005. The Company has not adopted SFAS 151 as of December 31, 2005; however, it does not expect the adoption of SFAS 151 to have a material effect on its consolidated financial statements.
     The FASB recently issued Statement No. 154, Accounting Changes and Error Corrections, a replacement of APB Opinion No. 20, Accounting Changes, and FASB Statement No. 3, Reporting Accounting Changes in Interim Financial Statements. The Statement applies to all voluntary changes in accounting principle, and changes the requirements for accounting for and reporting of a change in accounting principle. Statement 154 is the result of a broader effort by the FASB to improve the comparability of cross-border financial reporting by working with the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) toward development of a single set of accounting standards. Statement 154 requires retrospective application to prior periods’ financial statements of a voluntary change in accounting principle unless it is impracticable. Opinion 20 previously required that most voluntary changes in accounting principle be recognized by including in net income of the period of the change the cumulative effect of changing to the new accounting principle. Statement 154 is effective for accounting changes and corrections of errors made in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2005. Earlier application is permitted for accounting changes and corrections of errors made occurring in fiscal years beginning after June 1, 2005. The Statement does not change the transition provisions of any existing accounting pronouncements, including those that are in a transition phase as of the effective date of this Statement.

Note 2. Acquisitions of Businesses and Assets
     On November 9, 2004, Atlantis acquired the business and certain assets and also assumed certain specific liabilities of LaVanture Plastic Extrusion Technologies, Inc., and Molded Designs Technology, Inc., (collectively “LaVanture”). LaVanture manufactures profile extruded and injection molded plastic products primarily for OEMs in the recreational vehicle industry. The contractual purchase price of $10 million was funded by borrowings in connection with an amendment to the Company’s then existing senior credit facility. The Company accounted for this acquisition as a purchase in accordance with the provisions of SFAS 141. The activities of LaVanture are included in the results of operations of the Company’s Injection Molding and Profile Extrusion segments since the date of acquisition. The allocation of the purchase price resulted in goodwill of approximately $4.2 million, which represents the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of the net assets acquired. Under the terms of the purchase agreement, the Company recorded a holdback reserve of approximately $500 thousand, of which $279 thousand and $101 thousand (as final consideration) was paid to the former owners of LaVanture in August 2005 and January 2006, respectively. $63 thousand of the remaining balance was charged to goodwill, $28 thousand was charged to the inventory reserves and $29 thousand as a reduction to the Company’s deferred tax liability.

     On March 22, 2005, the Company entered into a new credit agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) with a syndicate of financial institutions. The Credit Agreement consists of a $120.0 million senior secured term loan (the “Senior Term Loan”), a $75.0 million junior secured term loan (the “Junior Term Loan”) and a $25.0 million revolving credit facility (the “Revolver”) and is secured by all of the Company’s assets, including property, inventory and receivables. The Senior Term Loan is payable in equal quarterly installments of $0.3 million beginning June 30, 2005 through June 30, 2011; with a final payment of $112.5 million due on September 22, 2011. The Junior Term Loan is due in its entirety on March 22, 2012. The Revolver matures in March 2011. The proceeds of the Credit Agreement were used to repay the Company’s previously existing senior secured debt of $83.9 million outstanding on March 22, 2005 and to pay related fees and expenses. The remainder of the proceeds was used to pay a $103.2 million special dividend to shareholders and $4.4 million to holders of outstanding stock options in exchange for the cancellation of those options, both on April 8, 2005.
     Interest accrues on borrowings under the Credit Agreement at the prime rate or the London Inter-bank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”), plus an applicable margin, as defined. The applicable margin is .75% above the prime rate and 2.75% above LIBOR for both, the Senior Term Loan and the Revolver. The applicable margin on the Junior Term Loan is 5.25% above the prime rate and 7.25% above LIBOR. The interest rate (including the applicable margin) on the Company’s outstanding LIBOR-based Senior Term Loan at December 31, 2005 was 7.09%. The interest rate (including the applicable margin) on the Company’s outstanding LIBOR-based Junior Term Loan at December 31, 2005 was 11.62%. The weighted average interest rate (including the applicable margin) on the Revolver balance outstanding at December 31, 2005 was 7.32%. The Credit Agreement contains certain restrictions and covenants relating, but not limited, to the maintenance of financial ratios, dividend payments, asset disposals, acquisitions and capital expenditures. The Company is currently in compliance with such restrictions and covenants. Additionally, on an annual basis, the Company is required to make mandatory loan prepayments

from excess cash flow as defined in the Credit Agreement. Based on the calculation, the Company was not required to make an excess cash flow payment for the year ended December 31, 2005.
     During 2005, the Company entered into an interest rate swap contract to effectively fix the interest rate on a portion of its floating rate debt. This interest rate swap contract had a notional amount outstanding at December 31, 2005 of $125 million. This contract had the effect of converting a portion of the Company’s floating rate debt to a fixed 30-day LIBOR of 3.865%, plus the applicable spread. The interest rate swap expires on June 6, 2008. The fair value of the Company’s interest rate swap agreement is the estimated amount that the Company would receive or pay to terminate the agreement at the reporting date, taking into account the current interest rate environment. The fair value of the interest rate swap outstanding at December 31, 2005 was a long-term asset of approximately $2.5 million, and was recorded as part of other comprehensive income, net of income taxes.
     In November 2004, the Company amended its then existing credit agreement (the “Old Credit Agreement”), to increase the credit facility from $110 million to $120 million, with a syndicate of financial institutions. The Old Credit Agreement consisted of a $35 million revolving credit facility, a Term Loan A with an original principal balance of $35 million and a Term Loan B with an original principal balance of $40 million. The maturity dates of these loans ranged from December 2007 to December 2008. All of these loans were repaid with the proceeds from the Credit Agreement in March 2005. In conjunction with the new Credit Agreement, the unamortized portion of deferred financing costs related to the Old Credit Agreement of $3.8 million was written off in 2005. Additionally, the Company expensed approximately $0.6 million of non-recurring financing costs associated with a financing effort that was not consummated during January 2005.
     In November 2005, the Company issued $3.5 million of industrial development bonds (the “Bonds”) relating to the improvement and expansion of its Cartersville, Georgia manufacturing plant. The Bonds are secured by the equipment for which the proceeds were used. The Bonds are payable in equal monthly installments of $57 thousand beginning in January 2006 through December 2011. Interest accrues on the Bonds at 5.15%.
     The Company incurred deferred financing costs of approximately $5.9 million in connection with the Credit Agreement and the issuance of the Bonds. These deferred financing costs are included in other long-term assets in the accompanying balance sheet as of December 31, 2005 and are being amortized to interest expense over the term of the related debt.
     At December 31, 2005 and 2004, the Company had approximately $1.6 million in outstanding letters of credit provided by a financial institution.
     Under the Company’s credit facilities as of December 31, 2005, scheduled maturities of indebtedness in each of the next six years are as follows (in thousands):

Note 9. Stock Option Plans
     The Company’s Stock Option Plans (“Option Plans”) are designed to serve as an incentive for retaining qualified and competent employees, directors, and agents. Options may be granted under the Option Plans on such terms and at such prices as determined by the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors (consisting only of outside directors); provided, however, that the exercise price of options granted under the Option Plans will not be less than 90% of the market value of the Class A Common Stock on the date of grant.

Note 12. Profit Sharing and Retirement Plans
     Atlantis has a 401(k) defined contribution retirement plan (the “401(k) Plan”). Generally, the 401(k) Plan covers all employees who have attained the age of 21 and have at least one year of service. Effective January 1, 2005, the Company amended the 401(k) Plan to allow the 401(k) Plan to utilize the Safe Harbor Rules, whereby the Company matches pretax salary deferrals up to the first 3% of compensation at a rate of 100% and the next 2% of compensation at a rate of 50% for a maximum company match of 4% of compensation, as defined by the 401(k) Plan and as limited by federal regulations. The Company’s employer contributions to the 401(k) Plan were approximately $846,000, $477,000 and $468,000 for the years ended December 31, 2005, 2004 and 2003, respectively.
     Effective January 1, 2000, the Company established the Atlantis Plastics, Inc. Deferred Compensation Plan (the “Deferred Compensation Plan”) for certain selected employees. Under the Deferred Compensation Plan, eligible employees may elect to make pre-tax contributions to a trust fund up to a maximum of 15% of annual earnings. The Company’s contribution to the Deferred Compensation Plan is based upon the employee’s contribution to the Deferred Compensation Plan and could not exceed a certain amount per participant each year. Generally, the full amount of each participant’s interest in the trust fund is paid upon termination of employment; however, the Deferred Compensation Plan allows participants to make early withdrawals of contributions, subject to certain restrictions. Company assets earmarked to pay benefits under the Deferred Compensation Plan are held by a Rabbi Trust. Under current accounting rules, assets of a Rabbi Trust must be accounted for as if they are assets of the Company; therefore, all earnings and expenses related to the Rabbi Trust are
