Pregis Holding II Corporation

Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements

(Amounts in thousands of U.S. dollars, unless otherwise noted)

1. DESCRIPTION OF THE BUSINESS AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION

Description of the Business

Pregis Corporation (“Pregis”) is an international manufacturer, marketer and supplier of protective packaging products and specialty packaging solutions. Pregis operates through two reportable segments — Protective Packaging and Specialty Packaging.

Pregis Corporation is 100%-owned by Pregis Holding II Corporation (“Pregis Holding II” or the “Company”) which is 100%-owned by Pregis Holding I Corporation (“Pregis Holding I”). AEA Investors LP and its affiliates (the “Sponsors” or “AEA”) own approximately 98% of the issued and outstanding equity of Pregis Holding I, with the remainder held by management. AEA Investors LP is a New York-based private equity investment firm.

Basis of Presentation

The consolidated financial statements included herein have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”) for complete financial statements. Management believes these financial statements include all normal recurring adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position and results of operations of the Company. The results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2010 are not necessarily indicative of the operating results for the full year.

On February 19, 2010 the Company acquired all of the outstanding shares of IntelliPack (see Note 14). The results of operations of IntelliPack, Inc. (“IntelliPack”) are included in the consolidated results of the Company beginning February 20, 2010.

These unaudited interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K/A for the year ended December 31, 2009.

Separate financial statements of Pregis Corporation are not presented since the floating rate senior secured notes due April 2013 and the 12.375% senior subordinated notes due October 2013 issued by Pregis Corporation are fully and unconditionally guaranteed on a senior secured and senior subordinated basis, respectively, by Pregis Holding II and all existing domestic subsidiaries of Pregis Corporation and since Pregis Holding II has no operations or assets separate from its investment in Pregis Corporation (see Note 15).

The Company’s long-term debt consists of the following:


	March 31,			December 31,
	2010			2009
Revolving Credit Facility, due October, 2011	$	42,500		$	42,000

Total debt		486,463			502,834
Less: current portion		(360	)		(300	)

Long-term debt	$	486,103		$	502,534

For the three months ended March 31, 2010 and 2009, the revaluation of the Company’s euro-denominated senior secured notes, and in 2009 the Term B-2 facility, resulted in unrealized foreign exchange gains of $18,158 and $11,323, respectively. These unrealized gains have been offset by unrealized losses of $16,671 and $14,110 relating to the revaluation of the Company’s euro-denominated inter-company notes receivable for the three months ended March 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively. These amounts are included net within foreign exchange loss, net in the Company’s consolidated statements of operations.

As a component of its senior secured credit facility, the Company is party to a revolving credit facility. The revolving credit facility matures in October 2011 and provides for borrowings of up to $50.0 million, a portion of which may be made available to the Company’s non-U.S. subsidiary borrowers in euros and/or pounds sterling. The revolving credit facility also includes a swing-line loan sub-facility and a letter of credit sub-facility. The revolving credit facility bears interest at a rate equal to, at the Company’s option, (1) an alternate base rate or (2) LIBOR or EURIBOR, plus an applicable margin of 0.375% to 1.00% for base rate advances and 1.375% to 2.00% for LIBOR or EURIBOR advances, depending on the leverage ratio of the Company, as defined in the credit agreement.

As of March 31, 2010, the Company has drawn $42.5 million under the revolving credit facility after reduction for amounts outstanding under letters of credit of $7.4 million. Revolving credit facility interest expense totaled $247 for the three months ended March 31, 2010. It is the current intent of the Company to hold the debt until its maturity, resulting in the debt’s classification as long-term as of March 31, 2010.

On October 5, 2009, the Company amended its senior secured credit facilities. The amendment, among other things:

	•		permits the Company to engage in certain specified sale leaseback transactions in 2009 and up to $35.0 million of additional sale leaseback transactions through the maturity of the senior secured credit facilities;

	•		replaces the maximum leverage ratio covenant of 5.0x under the senior secured credit facilities with a first lien leverage covenant of 2.0x;

	•		eliminates the minimum cash interest coverage ratio covenant under the senior secured credit facilities;

	•		increases the accordion feature of the term loan portion of the senior secured credit facilities by $100.0 million, allowing the Company to borrow up to $200.0 million under the term loan portion of the senior secured credit facilities, subject to certain conditions including receipt of commitments therefore;

	•		provides for additional subordinated debt issuances subject to a 2.0x interest coverage ratio; and

	•		modifies several other covenants in the senior secured credit facilities to provide the Company with more flexibility.

On October 5, 2009, Pregis issued €125.0 million aggregate principal amount of additional second priority senior secured floating rate notes due 2013 (the “2009 notes”). The 2009 note were exchanged for registered notes issued pursuant to an exchange off on March 5, 2010. The notes bear interest at a floating rate of EURIBOR plus 5.00% per year. Interest on the notes will be reset quarterly and is payable on January 15, April 15, July 15, and October 15 of each year. The notes mature on April 15, 2013. The notes are treated as a single class under the indenture with the €100.0 million principal amount of the Company’s existing second priority senior secured floating rate notes due 2013 (the “2005 note” and, together with the notes, the “senior secured floating rate notes”), originally issued on October 12, 2005. However, the notes do not have the same Common Code or ISIN number as the 2005 notes, are not fungible with the 2005 notes and will not trade together as a single class with the 2005 notes. The notes are treated as issued with more than de minimis original issue discount for United States federal income tax purposes, whereas the existing notes were not issued with original issue discount for such purposes.

The notes and the related guarantees are second priority secured senior obligations. Accordingly, they are effectively junior to the Company’s and the guarantors’ obligations under the Company’s senior secured credit facilities and any other obligations that are secured by first priority liens on the collateral securing the notes or that are secured by a lien on assets that are not part of the collateral securing the notes, in each case, to the extent of the value of such collateral or assets; structurally subordinated to all existing and future indebtedness and other liabilities (including trade payables) of the Company’s subsidiaries that are not guarantors; equal in right of payment with the 2005 notes equal in right of payment with all of the Company’s and the guarantors’ existing and future unsecured and unsubordinated indebtedness, and effectively senior to such indebtedness to the extent of the value of the collateral; and senior in right of payment to all of the Company’s and the guarantors’ existing and future subordinated indebtedness, including the senior subordinated notes issued by us in 2005 (the “senior subordinated notes”) and the related guarantees.

The proceeds from the October 2009 offering were used to repay the Term B-1 and Term B-2 indebtedness under the Company’s senior secured credit facilities.

5. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

Under U.S. GAAP, certain assets and liabilities must be measured at fair value and ASC Topic 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures, (“ASC Topic 820”) details the disclosures that are required for items measured at fair value.

ASC Topic 820 establishes a three-tier fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value, as follows:

Level 1 – Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities.

Level 2 – Observable inputs other than Level 1 prices such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities, quoted prices in markets that are not active, or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities.

Level 3 – Unobservable inputs in which little or no market data exists, therefore requiring an entity to develop its own assumptions.

In order to maintain its interest rate risk and to achieve a targeted ratio of variable-rate versus fixed-rate debt, the Company established an interest rate swap arrangement in the notional amount of 65 million euro from EURIBOR-based floating rates to a fixed rate over the period of October 1, 2008 to April 15, 2011. This swap arrangement was designated as a cash flow hedge and changes in the fair value of this instrument are expected to be highly effective in offsetting the fluctuations in the floating interest rate and are, therefore, being recorded in other comprehensive income until the underlying transaction is recorded.

The accounting for the cash flow impact of the swap is recorded as an adjustment to interest expense. For the three months ended March 31, 2010, the swap resulted in an increase to interest expense of $927 compared to a reduction of $124 for the same period in 2009.

At March 31, 2010, this interest rate swap contract was the Company’s only derivative instrument and only financial instrument requiring measurement at fair value. The swap is an over-the-counter contract and the inputs utilized to determine its fair value are obtained in quoted public markets. Therefore, the Company has categorized this instrument as Level 2 within the fair value hierarchy. At March 31, 2010, the fair value of this instrument was estimated to be a liability of $4,276, which is reported within other liabilities in the Company’s consolidated balance sheet.

The carrying values of other financial instruments included in current assets and current liabilities approximate fair values due to the short-term maturities of these instruments. The carrying value of amounts outstanding under the Company’s senior secured credit facilities is considered to approximate fair value as interest rates vary, based on prevailing market rates. At March 31, 2010, the fair values of the Company’s senior secured 2005 notes, senior secured 2009 notes, and senior subordinated notes were estimated to be $124,958, $155,354, and $148,500 respectively, based on quoted market prices. Under ASC Topic 825, “Financial Instruments”, entities are permitted to choose to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair value. The Company did not elect the fair value measurement option under this standard for any of its financial assets or liabilities.

6. PENSION PLANS

The Company sponsors three defined benefit pension plans covering the majority of its employees located in the United Kingdom and the Netherlands.

The components of net periodic pension cost related to these plans for the three months ended March 31, 2010 and 2009 are as follows:

10. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

The Company is party to a management agreement with its sponsors, AEA Investors LP and its affiliates, who provide various advisory and consulting services. Fees and expenses incurred under this agreement totaled $962 for the three months ended March 31, 2010, which included a $500 fee for services related to the acquisition of IntelliPack (see Note 15), and $492 for the same period of 2009.

The Company had sales to affiliates of AEA Investors LP totaling $402 for the three months ended March 31, 2010 compared to $56 for the same period of 2009, respectively. The Company made purchases from affiliates of AEA Investors LP totaling $4,123 for the three months ended March 31, 2010 compared to $2,592 for the same period of 2009, respectively.

11. SEGMENT AND GEOGRAPHIC INFORMATION

The Company’s segments are determined on the basis of its organization and internal reporting to the chief operating decision maker. The Company’s segments are as follows:

Protective Packaging – This segment manufactures, markets, sells and distributes protective packaging products in North America and Europe. Its protective mailers, air-encapsulated bubble products, sheet foam, engineered foam, inflatable airbag systems, honeycomb products, foam-in-place, and other protective packaging products are manufactured and sold for use in cushioning, void-fill, surface-protection, containment and blocking & bracing applications.

Specialty Packaging – This segment provides innovative packaging solutions for food, medical, and other specialty packaging applications, primarily in Europe.

Net sales by reportable segment for the three months ended March 31, 2010 and 2009 are as follows:


	Three Months Ended March 31,
	2010		2009
Protective Packaging	$	134,860	$	115,429
Specialty Packaging		75,176		70,115

	$	210,036	$	185,544

The Company evaluates performance and allocates resources to its segments based on segment EBITDA, which is calculated internally as net income before interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization, restructuring expense and adjusted for other non-cash charges and benefits. Segment EBITDA is a measure of segment profit or loss which is reported to the Company’s chief operating decision maker for purposes of making decisions about allocating resources to the Company’s segments and evaluating segment performance. In addition, segment EBITDA is included herein in conformity with ASC Topic 280, “Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information.” Management believes that segment EBITDA provides useful information for analyzing and evaluating the underlying operating results of each segment. However, segment EBITDA should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for net income (loss) before income taxes or other measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States. Additionally, the Company’s computation of segment EBITDA may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures computed by other companies.

The following table presents EBITDA by reportable segment and reconciles the total segment EBITDA to loss before income taxes:


	Three Months Ended March 31,
	2010			2009
Segment EBITDA

Corporate expenses include the costs of corporate support functions, such as information technology, finance, human resources, legal and executive management which have not been allocated to the segments. Additionally, corporate expenses may include other non-recurring or non-operational activity that the chief operating decision maker excludes in assessing business unit performance. These expenses, along with depreciation and amortization, other operating income/expense and other non-operating activity such as interest expense/income, restructuring, and foreign exchange gains/losses, are not considered in the measure of the segments’ operating performance, but are shown herein as reconciling items to the Company’s consolidated loss before income taxes.

13. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Legal matters

The Company is party to legal proceedings arising from its operations. Related reserves are recorded when it is probable that liabilities exist and where reasonable estimates of such liabilities can be made. While it is not possible to predict the outcome of any of these proceedings, the Company’s management, based on its assessment of the facts and circumstances now known, does not believe that any of these proceedings, individually or in the aggregate, will have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial position. The Company does not believe that, with respect to any pending legal matters, it is reasonably possible that a loss exceeding amounts already recognized may be material. However, actual outcomes may be different than expected and could have a material effect on the company’s results of operations or cash flows in a particular period.

Environmental matters

The Company is subject to a variety of environmental and pollution-control laws and regulations in all jurisdictions in which it operates. Where it is probable that related liabilities exist and where reasonable estimates of such liabilities can be made, associated reserves are established. Estimated liabilities are subject to change as additional information becomes available regarding the magnitude of possible clean-up costs, the expense and effectiveness of alternative clean-up methods, and other possible liabilities associated with such situations. The Company does not believe that, with respect to any pending environmental matters, it is reasonably possible that a loss exceeding amounts already recognized may be material. However, actual outcomes may be different than expected and could have a material effect on the company’s results of operations or cash flows in a particular period.

Financing commitments

As of March 31, 2010, the Company also had $7.4 million of outstanding letters of credit outstanding under the revolving credit facility. In addition, the Company also had outstanding guarantees and letters of credit issued under other financing lines with local banks totaling $6.0 million.

14. ACQUISITION

On February 19, 2010, Pregis acquired all of the outstanding stock of IntelliPack, Inc. through one of its wholly owned subsidiaries, Pregis Management Corporation. The initial purchase price of $31.5 million was funded with cash-on-hand. In accordance with the terms of the agreement, additional consideration may be payable by Pregis if certain future performance targets are achieved by IntelliPack. Based on preliminary estimates, the fair value of contingent purchase consideration was valued at approximately $9.2 million as of March 31, 2010. As of March 31, 2010 the Company recorded $2.4 million in other current liabilities and $6.8 million in other long-term liabilities related to this contingent purchase consideration. The classification of curent and long-term was based on estimated timing of future payments.

The acquisition was accounted for under the purchase method of accounting. Accordingly, the Company has allocated the purchase price on the basis of estimated fair value of the underlying assets acquired and liabilities assumed. The Company is in the process of finalizing its valuation analysis, which may result in subsequent revisions to the allocation. The purchase price has been allocated on a preliminary basis as follows:


Current assets	$	2,706
Goodwill		30,123
Other non-current assets		9,353
Liabilities		(1,510	)


Total purchase price	$	40,672

15. SUPPLEMENTAL GUARANTOR CONDENSED FINANCIAL INFORMATION

Pregis Holdings II (presented as Parent in the following schedules), through its 100%-owned subsidiary, Pregis Corporation (presented as Issuer in the following schedules), issued senior secured notes and senior subordinated notes in connection with its acquisition by AEA Investors LP and its affiliates. The senior notes are fully, unconditionally and jointly and severally guaranteed on a senior secured basis and the senior subordinated notes are fully, unconditionally and jointly and severally guaranteed on an unsecured senior subordinated basis, in each case, by Pregis Holdings II and substantially all existing and future 100%-owned domestic restricted subsidiaries of Pregis Corporation (collectively, the “Guarantors”). All other subsidiaries of Pregis Corporation, whether direct or indirect, do not guarantee the senior secured notes and senior subordinated notes (the “Non-Guarantors”). The Guarantors also unconditionally guarantee the Company’s borrowings under its senior secured credit facilities on a senior secured basis.

Additionally, the senior secured notes are secured on a second priority basis by liens on all of the collateral (subject to certain exceptions) securing Pregis Corporation’s senior secured credit facilities. In the event that secured creditors exercise remedies with respect to Pregis and its guarantors’ pledged assets, the proceeds of the liquidation of those assets will first be applied to repay obligations secured by the first priority liens under the senior secured credit facilities and any other first priority obligations.

The following condensed consolidating financial statements present the results of operations, financial position and cash flows of (1) the Parent, (2) the Issuer, (3) the Guarantors, (4) the Non-Guarantors, and (5) eliminations to arrive at the information for Pregis Holding II on a consolidated basis. Separate financial statements and other disclosures concerning the Guarantors are not presented because management does not believe such information is material to investors. Therefore, each of the Guarantors is combined in the presentation below.

OVERVIEW

We are an international manufacturer, marketer and supplier of protective packaging products and specialty packaging solutions. We currently operate 47 facilities in 18 countries, with 4,050 employees world-wide. We sell our products to a wide array of customers, including retailers, distributors, packer processors, hospitals, fabricators and directly to the end-users. Approximately 66% of our 2009 net sales were generated outside of the U.S., so we are sensitive to fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates, primarily between the euro and pound sterling with the U.S. dollar.

Our net sales for the three months ended March 2010 increased 13.2% over the comparable period of 2009. The increase was driven primarily by increased volumes, driven by the impact of economic recovery as well as the Company’s growth initiatives, sales associated with the recently completed acquisition of IntelliPack, and favorable foreign currency translation. This was partially offset by lower year-over-year selling prices, particularly in our protective packaging segment. Excluding the impact of favorable foreign currency translation and the IntelliPack acquisition, net sales for the three months ended March 31, 2010 increased 7.4% compared to the same period in 2009.

Our gross margin (defined as net sales less cost of sales, excluding depreciation and amortization) as a percent of net sales decreased to 22.6% for the first quarter of 2010, compared to 24.0% for the same period of 2009. The decline in our 2010 gross margin percentage was driven primarily by increased key raw material costs and negative price/mix, partially offset by the impact from increased volumes and the Company’s cost reduction program. The majority of the products we sell are plastic-resin based, and therefore our operations are highly sensitive to fluctuations in the costs of plastic resins. In the first quarter of 2010 as compared to the same period of 2009, average resin costs increased approximately 39% in North America and 48% in Europe, as measured by the Chemical Market Associates, Inc. (“CMAI”) index and PLATT’s index, their respective market indices. These increases in resin and other key raw material costs reduced the Company’s gross margin as a percent of sales by 342 basis points.

In 2008, we implemented a number of company-wide restructuring programs focused on improving profitability in response to the economic weakness. These programs, which were substantially completed in 2008, included headcount reductions, plant consolidations, and numerous productivity programs to maximize our operating effectiveness. In the first quarter of 2009, we commenced additional restructuring initiatives to further reduce our cost structure by optimizing our organizational structure and our operating processes. As of March 31, 2010, our restructuring initiatives are substantially complete. During the first three months of 2010 we realized year-over-year cost savings of approximately $4.3 million relating to our 2009 and 2010 cost reduction initiatives.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Net Sales

Our net sales for the three months ended March 31, 2010 compared to the same period ended March 31, 2009 are summarized by segment as follows:


										Change Attributable to the
										Following Factors
	Three Months Ended March 31,									Price /													Currency
	2010		2009		$ Change		% Change			Mix					Volume				Acquisition				Translation

Segment Net Sales

Volume in the Company’s protective packaging segment increased by 17.3% for the three month period ended March 31, 2010 compared to the same period in 2009. The volume increase for the period was driven primarily by improved economic conditions, particularly in North America and to a lesser extent in Europe, as well as the impact from growth initiatives in areas such as inflatable systems and sustainable products.

Price/mix for the Company’s protective packaging segment reduced net sales by 5.9% for the three month period ended March 31, 2010 compared to the same period in 2009. Selling prices were lower year-over-year as selling prices in the first quarter of 2009 were at elevated levels due to significant price increases implemented in the second half of 2008.

Volume in the Company’s specialty packaging segment increased by 1.7% for the three month period ended March 31, 2010 compared to the same period of 2009, primarily due to the impact of growth initiatives in our fresh food packaging markets.

The specialty packaging segment did not experience the substantial volume declines in 2009 that the protective packaging segment experienced. As a result, the improved economic conditions have not had as large of an impact on volume in the specialty packaging segment in 2010. This is due to the different end markets the two segments serve. Protective packaging primarily serves the industrial, housing, and automotive sectors, while the specialty packaging segment primarily serves the consumer food and medical sectors. The consumer food and medical sectors experienced less sensitivity to the overall economic weakness as compared to the industrial, housing, and automotive sectors.

Gross Margin

Gross margin (defined as net sales less cost of sales, excluding depreciation and amortization), as a percent of net sales, was 22.6% for the three months ended March 31, 2010 compared to 24.0% for the same period of 2009. This decrease of 140 basis points was driven by increased key raw material costs and negative price/mix, partially offset by increased volume and savings resulting from the Company’s cost reduction program. The increase in key raw material costs resulted in a negative 324 basis point impact on gross margin as a percent of net sales. Savings from the Company’s cost reduction program

resulted in a 229 basis point improvement for the three months ended March 31, 2010 as compared to the equivalent period in 2009.

Average resin costs in North America for the three month period ended March 31, 2010 were 39% higher than average resin costs for the same period in 2009 while average resin costs in Europe were 48% higher than average resin prices for the same period of 2009, based on their respective market indices.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses

Selling, general and administrative expenses increased by $8.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2010 compared to the same period of 2009. The increase was primarily driven by legal expenses of $4.5 million, acquisition related costs of $1.0 million, SG&A costs associated with our recently completed acquisition of IntelliPack of $0.4 million, and unfavorable foreign currency translation of $1.0 million. The increased legal expenses were the result of a patent dispute related to the Company’s protective packaging segment. This dispute was resolved successfully by the Company in March 2010. Excluding the impact of the legal expenses, acquisition related costs, IntelliPack’s SG&A expenses, and unfavorable foreign currency translation, selling, general and administrative expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2010 increased by approximately $2.0 million due primarily to increased pension, stock compensation, and additional sales and marketing expenses incurred to help drive the Company’s growth initiatives.

Other Operating Expense, net

For the three months ended March 31, 2010, other operating expense, net totaled $0.6 million, compared to $6.6 million in the same period of 2009. In the 2010 period we recorded restructuring charges of $0.6 million, primarily for consulting expenses. In the 2009 period we recorded restructuring charges of $6.7 million. See Note 8 to the unaudited consolidated financial statements for details regarding our restructuring activity.

Depreciation and Amortization Expense

Depreciation and amortization expense decreased by $0.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2010, compared to the respective period of 2009. The decrease in depreciation and amortization expense is the impact of lower average depreciation rates related to recent capital expenditure additions which was partially offset by foreign currency translation resulting from a weakening U.S. dollar in 2010 compared to the same period of 2009.

Segment Income

We measure our segments’ operating performance on the basis of segment EBITDA, defined as net income (loss) before interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization, and restructuring expense and adjusted for other non-cash charges and benefits. See Note 12 to the unaudited consolidated financial statements for a reconciliation of total segment EBITDA to consolidated net loss before income taxes. Segment EBITDA for the relevant periods is as follows:


	Three Months Ended March 31,
	2010		2009		$ Change			% Change
	(dollars in thousands)
Segment:
Protective Packaging	$	10,781	$	11,367	$	(586	)		(5.2	)%
Specialty Packaging		9,544		9,311		233			2.5	%

Total segment EBITDA	$	20,325	$	20,678	$	(353	)		(1.7	)%

Segment EBITDA for the protective packaging segment declined $0.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2010 compared to the same period of 2009. This decrease was due primarily to the impact of increased key raw material costs and unfavorable price/mix which was partially offset by increased volumes and the results of our cost reduction program, which totaled approximately $3.5 million year-over-year for the quarter.

Segment EBITDA for specialty packaging increased by $0.2 million for the first quarter of 2010. This increase was due to increased volumes, savings resulting from our cost reduction program, and favorable foreign currency translation partially offset by increased key raw material costs and negative price/mix.

Interest Expense

Interest expense for the three months ended March 31, 2010 increased $2.6 million compared to the same quarter 2009. This increase was driven by higher average interest rates resulting from the retirement of the Company’s term debt in the third quarter of 2009, and its replacement with new floating rate notes at higher average interest rates. The increase is also reflective of higher amortization of discount and deferred financing fees, again resulting from the Company’s 2009 debt refinancing. Finally unfavorable foreign currency increased interest expense on the Company’s euro denominated debt.

Foreign Exchange Loss (Gain), net

A portion of our third-party debt is denominated in euro and revalued to U.S. dollars at month-end. We also maintain an intercompany debt structure, whereby Pregis Corporation has provided euro-denominated loans to certain of its foreign subsidiaries and these and other foreign subsidiaries have provided euro-denominated loans to certain U.K. based subsidiaries. At each month-end we recognize unrealized gains and losses on the revaluation of these instruments, resulting from the fluctuations between the U.S. dollar and euro exchange rate, as well as the pound sterling and euro exchange rate.

In the three months ended March 31, 2010, we recognized a net foreign exchange loss of $1.3 million. The loss in the quarter reflects the relative strengthening of the U.S. dollar at the end of March 2010 (relative to December 31, 2009 exchange rates) when we revalued our euro-denominated third-party debt and inter-company loans. In the three month period ended March 31, 2009, we recognized a net foreign exchange loss of $3.2 million.

Income Tax Expense

Our effective income tax rate was approximately 15.23% for the three months ended March 31, 2010, which compares to approximately 26.06% for the three months ended March 31, 2009. For the three months ended March 31, 2010 and 2009, the Company’s effective rate was increased from a benefit at the

U.S. federal statutory rate of 35% primarily due to establishment of additional valuation allowances against losses in certain jurisdictions that are not expected to result in future tax benefits.

Net Loss

For the three months ended March 31, 2010, we had a net loss of $12.2 million, compared to a net loss of $10.4 million in the comparable period of 2009. As discussed herein, the 2010 net loss is mainly the result of increased raw material costs partially offset by the impact of cost reductions.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

The following table shows our sources and uses of funds for the three months ended March 31, 2010 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2009:


	Three Months Ended March 31,
	2010			2009
	(dollars in thousands)
Cash provided by operating activities	$	1,959		$	8,397
Cash used in investing activities		(41,627	)		(4,830	)
Cash provided (used) in financing activities		484			(565	)
Effect of foreign exchange rate changes		(1,787	)		(1,825	)

Increase (decrease) in cash and cash equivalents	$	(40,971	)	$	1,177

Operating Activities. Cash provided by operating activities decreased by $6.4 million during the three months ended March 31, 2010 compared to the same period of 2009. This decrease was driven primarily by increased working capital investment related to the increased year-over-year sales volumes.

Cash from operating activities is sensitive to raw material costs and the Company’s ability to recover increases in these costs from its customers. Although price increases have typically lagged the underlying change in raw material costs, the Company has historically been able to recover significant increases in underlying raw material costs from its customers over a twelve to twenty-four month period. Future cash from operations are dependent upon the Company’s continued ability to recover increases in underlying raw material increases from its customers.

The Company has not experienced any significant changes in year-over-year days sales outstanding, days inventory on-hand or days payable outstanding. The Company has not identified any trends in key working capital investments that would have a material impact on its liquidity or ability to satisfy its debt obligations or fund capital expenditures. The Company does not currently expect that raw material price increases will have a material effect on liquidity in future periods, but significant shifts in key raw material costs could affect our cash generated from operating activities in future periods.

Investing Activities. Cash used in investing activities totaled $41.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2010, an increase of $36.8 million compared to the same period of 2009. This increase was primarily the result of the acquisition of IntelliPack and, to a lesser extent, capital expenditures. On February 19, 2010, Pregis acquired all of the stock of IntelliPack for an initial purchase price of $31.5 million and certain escrowed amounts totaling $3.5 million, which was funded with cash-on-hand. Capital expenditures totaled $6.8 million in the 2010 period compared to $5.1 million in the 2009 period.

Financing Activities. Cash provided in financing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2010 included proceeds from the revolving credit facility draw of $0.5 million, net of activity on capital lease debt.

Our liquidity requirements are significant, primarily due to debt service requirements and capital investment in our businesses. We expect our 2010 capital expenditures to total approximately $20 to $25 million and our 2010 debt service costs to total approximately $42 million. At March 31, 2010, we had cash and cash equivalents of $39.5 million. Our available cash and cash equivalents are held in bank deposits and money market funds. We actively monitor the third-party depository institutions that hold our cash and cash equivalents to ensure safety of principal while achieving a satisfactory yield on those funds. To date, we have experienced no material loss or lack of access to our invested cash or cash equivalents; however, we can provide no assurances that access to our invested cash and cash equivalents will not be impacted by adverse conditions in the financial markets.

Our primary source of liquidity will continue to be cash flows from operations, existing cash balances, and amounts available to the Company under its credit agreement.

Senior Secured Credit Facilities. In October 2005, Pregis entered into senior secured credit facilities which provided for a revolving credit facility and two term loans: an $88.0 million term B-1 facility and a €68.0 million term loan B-2 facility. The term loans were repaid in full in October 2009. The revolving credit facility matures in October 2011 and provides for borrowings of up to $50.0 million, a portion of which may be made available to the Company’s non-U.S. subsidiary borrowers in euros and/or pounds sterling. The revolving credit facility also includes a swing-line loan sub-facility and a letter of credit sub-facility. The revolving credit facility bears interest at a rate equal to, at the Company’s option, (1) an alternate base rate or (2) LIBOR or EURIBOR, plus an applicable margin of 0.375% to 1.00% for base rate advances and 1.375% to 2.00% for LIBOR or EURIBOR advances, depending on the leverage ratio of the Company, as defined in the credit agreement. In addition, the Company is required to pay an annual commitment fee of 0.375% to 0.50% on the revolving credit facility depending on the leverage ratio of the Company, as well as customary letter of credit fees. As of March 31, 2010, the Company had $42.5 million drawn under the revolving credit facility and $7.4 million of outstanding letters of credit.

Our senior secured credit facilities also permit us, subject to certain conditions, including the receipt of commitments from lenders, to incur up to $200.0 million (or euro equivalent thereof) of additional term loans (originally $100.0 million prior to the October 5, 2009 senior secured credit facility amendment).

Subject to exceptions and, in the case of asset sale proceeds, reinvestment options, Pregis’s senior secured credit facilities require mandatory prepayments of the loans from excess cash flows, asset sales and dispositions (including insurance and condemnation proceeds), issuances of debt and issuances of equity. On October 5, 2009, the Company prepaid the term loans in full with proceeds of a €125.0 million note offering and cash on hand. Mandatory prepayments under our senior secured credit facilities do not result in the permanent reduction of the revolving credit commitments under such facilities, i.e., the prepaid revolving borrowings may be reborrowed immediately thereafter, so long as the conditions to the revolving borrowings have been met.

Pregis’s senior secured credit facilities and related hedging arrangements are guaranteed by Pregis Holding II, the direct holding parent company of Pregis, all of Pregis’s current and future domestic subsidiaries and, if no material tax consequences would result, Pregis’s future foreign subsidiaries and, subject to certain exceptions, are secured by a first priority security interest in substantially all of Pregis’s and its current and future domestic subsidiaries’ existing and future assets (subject to certain exceptions), and a first priority pledge of the capital stock of Pregis and the guarantor subsidiaries and an aggregate of 66% of the capital stock of Pregis’s first-tier foreign subsidiary.

Pregis’s senior secured credit facilities require that it comply on a quarterly basis with a First Lien Leverage Ratio test. In connection with the October 5, 2009 amendment to our senior secured credit facilities, the Maximum Leverage Ratio and Minimum Cash Interest Coverage Ratio covenants were eliminated, and the First Lien Leverage Ratio covenant of 2.0x replaced the Maximum Leverage Ratio covenant. The First Lien Leverage Ratio is calculated as the ratio of (1) net debt that is secured by a first priority lien to (2) Consolidated EBITDA.

The following table sets forth the First Lien Leverage Ratio as of March 31, 2010 and 2009:


			Ratios
(unaudited)	Covenant		Calculated at March 31,
(dollars in thousands)	Measure		2010		2009
First Lien Leverage Ratio	Maximum of 2.0x			0.10		1.46

Consolidated EBITDA		—	$	87,980	$	92,645
Net Debt Secured by First Priority Lien		—	$	8,597	$	135,356

As used in the calculation of First Lien Leverage Ratio, Consolidated EBITDA is calculated by adding Consolidated Net Income (as defined by the facility), income taxes, interest expense, depreciation and amortization, other non-cash items reducing Consolidated Net Income that do not represent a reserve against a future cash charge, costs and expenses incurred with business acquisitions, issuance of equity interests permitted by the terms of the loan documents, the amount of management, consulting, monitoring, transaction, and advisory fees and related expenses paid to AEA, and unusual and non-recurring charges (including, without limitation, expenses in connection with actual and proposed acquisitions, equity offerings, issuances and retirements of debt and divestitures of assets, whether or not any such acquisition, equity offering, issuance or retirement or divestiture is actually consummated during such period that do not exceed, in the aggregate, 5% of EBITDA for such period).

Consolidated EBITDA is calculated under the senior secured credit facility for the twelve months ended March 31, 2010 and 2009 as follows:

As of March 31, 2010, Pregis was in compliance with all covenants contained in its senior secured credit facilities.

On October 5, 2009 we amended our senior secured credit facilities. The amendment, among other things:

	•		permits our company to engage in certain specified sale leaseback transactions in 2009 and up to $35.0 million of additional sale leaseback transactions through the maturity of the senior secured credit facilities;

	•		replaced the maximum leverage ratio covenant of 5.0x under the senior secured credit facilities with the first lien leverage covenant of 2.0x;

	•		eliminated the minimum cash interest coverage ratio covenant under the senior secured credit facilities;

	•		increased the accordion feature of the term loan portion of the senior secured credit facilities by $100.0 million, allowing our company to borrow up to $200.0 million under the term loan portion of the senior secured credit facilities, subject to certain conditions including receipt of commitments therefore;

	•		provided for additional subordinated debt issuances subject to a 2.0x interest coverage ratio; and

	•		modified several other covenants in the senior secured credit facilities to provide our company with more flexibility.

In October 2009 we used the proceeds of an offering of senior secured floating rate notes, together with cash on hand, to repay in full amounts outstanding under the term loans under our senior secured credit facilities. However, following the issuance of the senior secured floating rate notes and the use of

proceeds thereof and subject to compliance with our senior secured credit facilities, the indenture governing the senior secured floating rate notes will continue to allow us to incur at least $220 million (less amounts then outstanding under the senior secured credit facilities) of debt, including new debt which replaces the term loans repaid with the proceeds of the offering of senior secured floating rate notes. If such debt is incurred under the $220 million credit facility basket or in compliance with a 3:1 senior secured leverage ratio, plus an additional $50 million, such debt would constitute first priority lien obligations and could be secured on a first priority basis.

Senior Secured Floating Rate Notes and Senior Subordinated Notes. On October 13, 2005, Pregis issued €100.0 million aggregate principal amount of second priority senior secured floating rate notes due 2013 (the “senior secured notes”) and $150 million aggregate principal amount of 12^3/8% senior subordinated notes due 2013 (the “senior subordinated notes”).

The senior secured notes mature on April 15, 2013. Interest accrues at a floating rate equal to EURIBOR plus 5.00% per year and is payable quarterly on January 15, April 15, July 15 and October 15 of each year. The senior secured notes are guaranteed on a senior secured basis by Pregis Holding II, Pregis’s immediate parent, and each of Pregis’s current and future domestic subsidiaries. At its option, Pregis may redeem some or all of the senior secured notes at 100% of their principal amount. Upon the occurrence of a change of control, Pregis will be required to make an offer to repurchase each holder’s notes at a repurchase price equal to 101% of their principal amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest to the date of repurchase.

The senior subordinated notes mature on October 15, 2013. Interest accrues at a rate of 12.375% and is payable semi-annually on April 15 and October 15 of each year. The notes are senior subordinated obligations and rank junior in right of payment to all of Pregis’s senior indebtedness. The senior subordinated notes are guaranteed on a senior subordinated basis by Pregis Holding II and each of Pregis’s current and future domestic subsidiaries. Pregis may redeem some or all of the notes on or after October 15, 2009 at redemption prices equal to 106.188% of their principal amount (in the 12 months beginning October 15, 2009), 103.094% of their principal amount (in the 12 months beginning October 15, 2010) and 100% of their principal amount (beginning October 15, 2011).

On October 5, 2009 Pregis issued €125.0 million aggregate principal amount of additional second priority senior secured floating rate notes due 2013 (the “unregistered 2009 senior secured notes”). On March 5, 2010, Pregis exchanged all of the outstanding unregistered 2009 senior secured notes for registered senior secured notes (the “2009 senior secured notes”) pursuant to an exchange offer. The 2009 senior secured notes bear interest at a floating rate of EURIBOR plus 5.00% per year. Interest on the 2009 senior secured notes is reset quarterly and payable on January 15, April 15, July 15, and October 15 of each year. The 2009 senior secured notes mature on April 15, 2013.

The 2009 senior secured notes are treated as a single class under the indenture with the €100.0 million principal amount of 2005 second priority senior secured floating rate notes for purpose of voting and redemption. However, the 2009 senior secured notes do not have the same Common Code or ISIN numbers as the 2005 senior secured notes, are not fungible with the 2005 senior secured notes and will not trade together as a single class with the 2005 senior secured notes. The 2009 senior secured notes are treated as issued with more than de minimis original issue discount for United States federal income tax purposes, whereas the 2005 senior secured notes were not issued with original issue discount for such purposes. Together the 2005 senior secured notes and the 2009 senior secured notes are referred to herein as the senior secured notes.

The indentures governing the senior secured notes and the senior subordinated notes contain covenants that limit or prohibit Pregis’s ability and the ability of its restricted subsidiaries, subject to certain exceptions, to incur additional indebtedness, pay dividends or make other equity distributions, make investments, create liens, incur obligations that restrict the ability of Pregis’s restricted subsidiaries

to make dividends or other payments to Pregis, sell assets, engage in transactions with affiliates, create unrestricted subsidiaries, and merge or consolidate with other companies or sell substantially all of Pregis’s assets. The indentures also contain reporting covenants regarding delivery of annual and quarterly financial information. The indenture governing the senior secured notes limits Pregis’s ability to incur first priority secured debt to an amount which results in its secured debt leverage ratio being equal to 3:1, plus $50 million, and prohibits it from incurring additional second priority secured debt other than by issuing additional senior secured notes. The indenture governing the senior secured notes also limits Pregis’s ability to enter into sale and leaseback transactions. The indenture governing the senior subordinated notes prohibits Pregis from incurring debt that is senior to such notes and subordinate to any other debt.

The senior secured notes and senior subordinated notes are not listed on any national securities exchange in the United States. The senior secured notes are listed on the Irish Stock. However, there can be no assurance that the senior secured notes will remain listed.

The proceeds from the sale of the notes in October 2009 were used to repay the Term B-1 and Term B-2 indebtedness under our senior secured credit facilities.

Collateral for the Senior Secured Floating Rate Notes. The senior secured floating rate notes are secured by a second priority lien, subject to permitted liens, on all of the following assets owned by Pregis or the guarantors, to the extent such assets secure Pregis’s senior secured credit facilities on a first priority basis (subject to exceptions):

	(1)		substantially all of Pregis’s and each guarantor’s existing and future property and assets, including, without limitation, real estate, receivables, contracts, inventory, cash and cash accounts, equipment, documents, instruments, intellectual property, chattel paper, investment property, supporting obligations and general intangibles, with minor exceptions; and

	(2)		all of the capital stock or other securities of Pregis’s and each guarantor’s existing or future direct or indirect domestic subsidiaries and 66% of the capital stock or other securities of Pregis’s and each guarantor’s existing or future direct foreign subsidiaries, but only to the extent that the inclusion of such capital stock or other securities will mean that the par value, book value as carried by us, or market value (whichever is greatest) of such capital stock or other securities of any subsidiary is not equal to or greater than 20% of the aggregate principal amount of the senior secured floating rate notes outstanding.

As of December 31, 2009, the capital stock of the following subsidiaries of Pregis constituted collateral for the senior secured floating rate notes:


	As of December 31, 2009
	Amount of Collateral
	(Maximum of Book Value
	and Market Value, Subject		Book Value of		Market Value of

Pregis Management Corporation*	$	100	$	100	$	100


*		Effective March 17, 2010 Pregis Management Corporation changed its name to Pregis IntelliPack Corporation.

As described above, under the collateral agreement, the capital stock pledged to the senior secured floating rate noteholders constitutes collateral only to the extent that the par value or market value or book value (whichever is greatest) of the capital stock does not exceed 20% of the aggregate principal amount of the senior secured floating rate notes. This threshold is €45,000,000, or, at the December 31, 2009 exchange rate of U.S. dollars to euro of 1.4316:1.00, approximately $64.4 million. As of December 31, 2009, the book value and the market value of the shares of capital stock of Pregis Innovative Packaging Inc. were approximately $38.9 million and $138.1 million, respectively; the book value and the market value of the shares of capital stock of Hexacomb Corporation were approximately $36.4 million and $21.9 million respectively; and the book value and the market value of 66% of the shares of capital stock of Pregis (Luxembourg) Holding S.àr.l. were approximately $16.6 million and $ — million, respectively. Therefore, in accordance with the collateral agreement, the collateral pool for the senior secured floating rate notes includes only approximately $64.4 million with respect to the shares of capital stock of Pregis Innovative Packaging Inc. Since the book value and market value of the shares of capital stock of our other domestic subsidiaries and Pregis (Luxemburg) Holdings S.ar.l are each less than the $64.4 million threshold, they are not effected by the 20% clause of the collateral agreement.

For the year ended December 31, 2009, certain historical equity relating to corporate expenses incurred by Pregis Management Corporation were allocated to each of the three entities, Pregis Innovative Packaging Inc., Hexacomb Corporation, and Pregis (Luxembourg) Holding S.àr.l, in order to better reflect their current book values for presentation herein on a fully-allocated basis.

The market value of the capital stock of the guarantors and subsidiaries constituting collateral for the senior secured floating rate notes has been estimated by us on an annual basis, using a market approach. At the time of the Acquisition, the purchase price paid for these entities was determined based on a multiple of EBITDA, as was contractually agreed in the stock purchase agreement. Since that time, we have followed a similar methodology, using a multiple of EBITDA, based on that of recent transactions of comparable companies, to determine the enterprise value of these entities. To arrive at an estimate of the market value of the entities’ capital stock, we have subtracted from the enterprise value the existing debt, net of cash on hand, and have also made adjustments for the businesses’ relative portion of corporate expenses. We have determined that this methodology is a reasonable and appropriate means for determining the market value of the capital stock pledged as collateral. We intend to complete these estimates of value of the capital stock of these subsidiaries for so long necessary to determine our compliance with the collateral arrangement governing the notes.

The value of the collateral for the senior secured floating rate notes at any time will depend on market and other economic conditions, including the availability of suitable buyers for the collateral. As of December 31, 2009, the value of the collateral for the senior secured floating rate notes totaled approximately $541.3 million, estimated as the sum of (1) the book value of the total assets of Pregis and each guarantor, excluding intercompany activity (which amount totaled $423.9 million), and (2) the collateral value of the capital stock, as outlined above (which amount totaled $117.4 million). As a result of the IntelliPack acquisition (see Note 14), that the estimated value of the collateral for the senior secured floating rate notes has increased. As the Company has not completed its final evaluations associated with this acquisition the amount of this increase is not known. Except for the anticipated increase in collateral value associated with the IntelliPack acquisition, the collateral value has not changed materially as of March 31, 2010. Any proceeds received upon the sale of collateral would be paid first to the lenders under our senior secured credit facilities, who have a first lien security interest in the collateral, before any payment could be made to holders of the senior secured floating rate notes. There is no assurance that any collateral value would remain for the holders of the senior secured floating rate notes after payment in full to the lenders under our senior secured credit facilities.

Covenant Ratios Contained in the Senior Secured Floating Rate Notes and Senior Subordinated Notes. The indentures governing the senior secured floating rate notes and senior subordinated notes

contain two material covenants which utilize financial ratios. Non-compliance with these covenants could result in an event of default under the indentures and, under certain circumstances, a requirement to immediately repay all amounts outstanding under the notes and could trigger a cross-default under Pregis’s senior secured credit facilities or other indebtedness we may incur in the future. First, Pregis is permitted to incur indebtedness under the indentures if the ratio of Consolidated Cash Flow to Fixed Charges on a pro forma basis (referred to in the indentures as the “Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio”) is greater than 2:1 or, if the ratio is less, only if the indebtedness falls into specified debt baskets, including, for example, a credit agreement debt basket, an existing debt basket, a capital lease and purchase money debt basket, an intercompany debt basket, a permitted guarantee debt basket, a hedging debt basket, a receivables transaction debt basket and a general debt basket. In addition, under the senior secured floating rate notes indenture, Pregis is permitted to incur first priority secured debt only if the ratio of Secured Indebtedness to Consolidated Cash Flow on a pro forma basis (referred to in the senior secured floating rate notes indenture as the “Secured Indebtedness Leverage Ratio”) is equal to or less than 3:1, plus $50 million. Second, the restricted payment covenant provides that Pregis may declare certain dividends, or repurchase equity securities, in certain circumstances only if Pregis’s Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio is greater than 2:1.

As used in the calculation of the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio and the Secured Indebtedness Leverage Ratio, Consolidated Cash Flow, commonly referred to as Adjusted EBITDA, is calculated by adding Consolidated Net Income, income taxes, interest expense, depreciation and amortization and other non-cash expenses, amounts paid pursuant to the management agreement with AEA Investors LP, and the amount of any restructuring charge or reserve (including, without limitation, retention, severance, excess pension costs, contract termination costs and cost to consolidate facilities and relocate employees). In calculating the ratios, Consolidated Cash Flow is further adjusted by giving pro forma effect to acquisitions and dispositions that occurred in the prior four quarters, including certain cost savings and synergies expected to be obtained in the succeeding twelve months. In addition, the term Net Income is adjusted to exclude any gain or loss from the disposition of securities, and the term Consolidated Net Income is adjusted to exclude, among other things, the non-cash impact attributable to the application of the purchase method of accounting in accordance with GAAP, the cumulative effect of a change in accounting principles, and other extraordinary, unusual or nonrecurring gains or losses. While the determination of appropriate adjustments is subject to interpretation and requires judgment, we believe the adjustments listed below are in accordance with the covenants discussed above.

The following table sets forth the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio, Consolidated Cash Flow (“Adjusted EBITDA”), Secured Indebtedness Leverage Ratio, Fixed Charges and Secured Indebtedness as of and for the twelve months ended March 31, 2010 and 2009:


			Ratios
(unaudited)	Covenant		Calculated at March 31,
(dollars in thousands)	Measure		2010			2009
Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio (after giving pro forma effect to acquisitions and/or dispositions occurring in the reporting period)	Minimum of 2.0x			2.1	x		2.2	x
Secured Indebtedness Leverage Ratio	Maximum of 3.0x			0.5	x		1.9	x

Consolidated Cash Flow (“Adjusted EBITDA”)		—	$	87,980		$	92,645
Fixed Charges (after giving pro forma effect to acquisitions and/or dispositions occurring in the reporting period)		—	$	41,429		$	41,744
Secured Indebtedness		—	$	43,061		$	172,712

The Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio is primarily affected by increases or decreases in the Company’s trailing twelve month Consolidated Cash Flow (Adjusted EBITDA) and increases or

decreases in the Company’s interest expense (interest expense net of interest income, excluding amortization of deferred financing fees and discount). Interest expense as used in this ratio is primarily affected by changes in interest rates (LIBOR and EURIBOR) and currency translation related to converting euro based interest expense into US dollars. The favorable impact resulting from lower interest rates, for the comparable twelve month periods ending March 31, 2010 and 2009, has been more than offset by the decrease in the Company’s trailing twelve month Consolidated Cash Flow over the same period, resulting in narrowing of the cushion between the minimum covenant measure and the actual ratio.

The Secured Indebtedness Leverage Ratio is primarily affected by increases or decreases in the Company’s trailing twelve month Consolidated Cash Flow and increases or decreases in the Company’s secured indebtedness. In 2009 the secured indebtedness was comprised of the Company’s term B-1 notes, term B-2 notes, and amounts outstanding under the Company’s revolving credit facility. The term B-1 and term B-2 notes were retired in October 2009 as part of the Company’s refinancing. This decrease in secured indebtedness is the primary driver in the year-over-year change of the Secured Indebtedness Leverage Ratio.

Adjusted EBITDA is calculated under the indentures governing our senior secured floating rate notes and senior subordinated notes for the twelve months ended March 31, 2010 and 2009 as follows:


(unaudited)	Twelve Months Ended March 31,
(dollars in thousands)	2010			2009
Net loss of Pregis Holding II Corporation	$	(19,810	)	$	(54,866	)
Interest expense, net of interest income		44,805			45,713
Income tax (benefit) expense		(1,523	)		(8,243	)
Depreciation and amortization		44,506			50,275

EBITDA		67,978			32,879

Other non-cash charges (income): (1)
Unrealized foreign currency transaction losses (gains), net		(8,369	)		21,175
Non-cash stock based compensation expense		1,585			1,210
Non-cash asset impairment charge		(59	)		20,354
Other non-cash expenses, primarily fixed asset disposals and write-offs		—			427
Net unusual or nonrecurring gains or losses: (2)
Restructuring, severance and related expenses		10,604			17,298
Curtailment gain		—			(3,736	)

Pro forma adjusted EBITDA of acquired business (4)		2,992			—

Adjusted EBITDA (“Consolidated Cash Flow”)	$	87,980		$	92,645


(1)		Other non-cash charges (income) include (a) net unrealized foreign currency transaction losses and gains, arising principally from the revaluation of our euro-denominated third-party debt and intercompany notes receivable, (b) non-cash compensation expense arising from the grant of Pregis Holding I options, (c) a non-cash goodwill impairment charge of $19.1 million recognized in 2008 and a trademark impairment charge of $1.0 million pursuant to the Company’s 2008 annual impairment tests, respectively and (d) other non-cash charges that will not result in future cash settlement, such as losses on fixed asset disposals.


(2)		As provided by our indentures, we adjusted for gains or losses deemed to be unusual or nonrecurring, including (a) restructuring, severance and related expenses due to our various cost reduction restructuring initiatives, (b) adjustments for costs and expenses related to acquisition, disposition or equity offering activities and (c) other unusual and nonrecurring charges.

(3)		Our indentures also require us to make adjustments for fees, and reasonable out-of-pocket expenses, paid under the management agreement with AEA Investors LP.

(4)		Our indentures also permit adjustments to net income on a pro forma basis which allow for the inclusion of earnings for acquired businesses as if the acquisition had occurred on the first day of the four-quarter measurement period. In the three months ended March 31, 2010, we have adjusted for approximately $3.0 million relating to pre-acquisition earnings relating to the acquisition of IntelliPack. There can be no assurance that we will be able to achieve these comparable earning in the future.

Local lines of credit. From time to time, certain of our foreign businesses utilize various lines of credit in their operations. These lines of credit are generally used as overdraft facilities or for the issuance of trade letters of credit and are in effect until cancelled by one or both parties. As of March 31, 2010, we had availability of $5.5 million on these lines and outstanding trade letters of credit and guarantees totaling $6.0 million. Of this $5.5 million, only $4.1 million may be drawn in cash.

Long-term Liquidity. We believe that cash flow generated from operations, existing cash balances, and our borrowing capacity will be adequate to meet our obligations and business requirements for the next twelve months. There can be no assurance, however, that our business will generate sufficient cash flow from operations, that anticipated net sales growth and operating improvements will be realized or that future borrowings will be available under Pregis’s senior secured credit facilities in an amount sufficient to enable us to service our indebtedness or to fund our other liquidity needs. Our ability to meet our debt service obligations and other capital requirements, including capital expenditures, and to continue to comply with the covenants contained in our debt instruments, will depend upon our future performance which, in turn, will be subject to general economic, financial, business, competitive, legislative, regulatory and other conditions, many of which are beyond our control. Some other risks that could materially adversely affect our ability to meet our debt service obligations and comply with our debt covenants include, but are not limited to, risks related to increases in the cost of resin, our ability to protect our intellectual property, rising interest rates, a decline in the overall U.S. and European economies, weakening in our end markets, the loss of key personnel, our ability to continue to invest in equipment, and a decline in relations with our key distributors and dealers. In addition, any of the other items discussed in the “Risk Factors,” included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K/A for the year ended December 31, 2009 may also significantly impact our liquidity and covenant compliance.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ESTIMATES

In accordance with ASC 350, the Company assesses the recoverability of goodwill and other indefinite lived intangibles assets annually as of October 1, or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of such assets may not be recoverable.

The goodwill impairment test is performed at the reporting unit level. A reporting unit is an operating segment or one level below an operating segment (referred to as a “component”). A component is considered a reporting unit for purposes of goodwill testing if the component constitutes a business for which discrete financial information is available and segment management regularly reviews the operating results of that component. As such, we have tested for goodwill impairment at the component level within our Specialty Packaging reporting segment, represented by each of the businesses included within this segment. We also tested goodwill for impairment at each of the operating segments which have been aggregated to comprise our Protective Packaging reporting segment.

We use a two-step process to test goodwill for impairment. First, the reporting unit’s fair value is compared to its carrying value. Fair value is estimated using primarily a combination of the income approach, based on the present value of expected future cash flows and the market approach. If a reporting unit’s carrying amount exceeds its fair value, an indication exists that the reporting unit’s goodwill may be impaired, and the second step of the impairment test would be performed. The second step of the goodwill impairment test is used to measure the amount of the impairment loss, if any. In the second step, the implied fair value of the reporting unit’s goodwill is determined by allocating the reporting unit’s fair value to all of its assets and liabilities other than goodwill in a manner similar to a purchase price allocation. The implied fair value of the goodwill that results from the application of this second step is then compared to the carrying amount of the goodwill and an impairment charge would be recorded for the difference if the carrying value exceeds the implied fair value of the goodwill.

At interim periods, the Company assesses if potential indicators of impairment exist. Among the factors the Company considers as potential indicators of interim impairment are significant adverse changes in legal factors or business climate, an adverse action or assessment by a regulator, unanticipated competition, loss of key personnel, or a more-likely-than-not expectation that a reporting unit or a significant portion of a reporting unit will be sold or otherwise disposed of, recent operating losses at the reporting unit level, downward revisions to forecasts, restructuring actions or plans, and industry trends. The Company did not identify any interim indicators of impairment as of March 31, 2010.

Although the Company determined that there were no indicators of impairment as of March 31, 2010, it is possible that the future occurrence of potential indicators of impairment could require an interim assessment for some or all of the Company’s reporting units prior to its next required annual assessment. In such circumstances, the Company may be required to recognize non-cash impairment charges which could be material to the Company’s consolidated financial position and results of operations. Such non-cash impairment charges would not have a material adverse impact on the Company’s ability to comply with its debt covenants, as such charges are specifically excluded from its covenant calculations.

Our financial statements are prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States, which require management to make estimates, judgments and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. While our estimates and assumptions are based on our knowledge of current events and actions we may undertake in the future, actual results may ultimately differ from these estimates and assumptions. We have discussed those estimates that we believe are critical and require the use of complex judgment in their application in our 2009 Annual Report on Form 10-K/A. Since the date of our 2009 Form 10-K/A, there have been no material changes to our critical accounting policies or the methodologies or assumptions we apply under them.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

Our exposure to market risk has not materially changed since December 31, 2009. For a discussion of our exposure to market risk, see our 2009 Annual Report on Form 10-K/A.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

The Company carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of the Company’s management, including the Chief Executive Officer (its principal executive officer) and the Chief Financial Officer (its principal financial officer), of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures as of March 31, 2010. Based upon that evaluation, our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer, concluded that as of March 31, 2010 the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-

15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) are effective. In addition, there has been no change in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting during the most recent fiscal quarter that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

PART II — OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

We are party to various lawsuits, legal proceedings and administrative actions arising out of the normal course of our business. While it is not possible to predict the outcome of any of these lawsuits, proceedings and actions, management, based on its assessment of the facts and circumstances now known, does not believe that any of these lawsuits, proceedings and actions, individually or in the aggregate, will have a material adverse effect on our financial position or that it is reasonably possible that a loss exceeding amount already recognized may be material. However, actual outcomes may be different than expected and could have a material effect on our results of operations or cash flows in a particular period.
