Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements Disclosure [Text Block]

BASIS OF PRESENTATION

Organization. Solo Cup Company, a Delaware corporation (“Solo Delaware”), is a holding company, the material assets of which are 100% of the capital stock of SF Holdings Group, Inc. SF Holdings owns 100% of the capital stock of Solo Cup Operating Corporation, which, in turn, owns various direct and indirect subsidiaries. In these financial statements, the terms “we,” “us” and “our” refer to Solo Delaware and its direct and indirect subsidiaries.

Solo Delaware is a wholly owned subsidiary of Solo Cup Investment Corporation, a Delaware corporation. SCC Holding Company LLC owns 67.26%, Vestar Capital Partners IV, L.P. and certain of its affiliates own 32.71% and management of Solo Delaware owns the remaining 0.03% of Solo Cup Investment Corporation.

Principles of consolidation. These interim consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Solo Delaware and its subsidiaries. All material intercompany accounts, transactions and profits are eliminated in consolidation. The information included in these interim consolidated financial statements is unaudited but, in our opinion, includes all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments and accruals unless otherwise indicated) that we consider necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position, operating results and cash flows for the periods presented. Results for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results expected for the entire year. These interim consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements and notes thereto for the fiscal year ended December 26, 2010, included in our 2010 Annual Report on Form 10-K, which we filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 17, 2011.

Estimates. We have prepared these interim consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, using our best estimates and judgments where appropriate. These estimates and judgments affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the balance sheet dates and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ materially from these estimates and judgments.
