NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
Note 1. Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in
accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (GAAP) for interim
financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X.
Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete
financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring
accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for
the nine-month period ended September 30, 2006 are not necessarily indicative of the results that
may be expected for the year ended December 31, 2006.
The consolidated balance sheet at December 31, 2005 has been derived from the audited
consolidated financial statements at that date but does not include all of the information and
footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States for complete
financial statements.
The information included in this Form 10-Q should be read in conjunction with Managements
Discussion and Analysis and consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto included in the
Atlantis Plastics, Inc. Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2005.
Certain reclassifications have been made to prior year amounts to conform with the current
year presentation.

lower of replacement cost or estimated net realizable value, with consideration given to

On March 22, 2005, the Company entered into a new $220 million secured credit agreement (the
Credit Agreement) provided by a syndicate of financial institutions, replacing its previously
existing $120 million credit facility (the Retired Credit Facility). The new financing included a
$25 million revolving credit facility maturing March 2011 priced, at the Companys discretion, at
either the London Inter-bank Offered Rate (LIBOR) plus a spread of 2.75% or the prime interest
rate plus a spread of 0.75%, a $120 million senior secured term loan (the Senior Term Loan)
priced at LIBOR plus a spread of 2.75% maturing September 2011 and a $75 million junior secured
term loan (the Junior Term Loan) priced at LIBOR plus a spread of 7.25% maturing in March 2012.
Borrowings under the Credit Agreement were used to repay the Companys 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 on April 8, 2005 to pay a special one-time dividend of $103.2
million ($12.50 per share) to the Companys shareholders and to pay approximately $4.4 million to
holders of outstanding stock options in exchange for the cancellation of those options. In
conjunction with the pay-off of the Companys Retired Credit Facility in the first quarter of 2005,
the Company wrote-off approximately $3.8 million of deferred financing costs related to the Retired
Credit Facility. Additionally in 2005, the Company expensed approximately $0.6 million of costs
associated with a financing effort that was not consummated.
On June 6, 2005, the Company entered into an interest rate swap contract with a notional
amount of $125 million to effectively fix the interest rate on a portion of its floating rate debt.
This contract had the effect of converting a portion of the Companys floating rate debt to a fixed
30-day LIBOR of 3.865%, plus the applicable spread. The interest rate swap was to expire on June 6,
2008. On May 16, 2006, the Company terminated this swap realizing $3.4 million upon termination,
and concurrently entered into a new swap that also terminates on June 6, 2008. The $3.4 million is
being amortized monthly as an offset to interest expense over the life of the original swap. Cash
flows from the termination of this interest rate swap are classified as financing activities, the
same category as the cash flows from the items being hedged. The new contract, which has
substantially identical terms as the terminated contract, has the effect of converting a portion of
the Companys floating rate debt to a fixed 30-day LIBOR of 5.265%, plus the applicable spread.
The fair value of the Companys 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 and the remaining term of the interest rate swap agreement.
The fair value of the interest rate swap outstanding at September 30, 2006 was a long-term
liability of approximately $0.5 million, and the change in fair value was recorded as part of other
comprehensive income, net of income taxes (see also Note 4, Comprehensive Income (Loss); Note 7,
Capital Structure; and Note 8, Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities).
8
In October 2006, the Company amended its senior secured term loan and revolving credit
facility agreement to waive September 30, 2006 financial covenants, impose monthly minimum EBITDA
requirements for October 2006 and November 2006, increase applicable borrowing spreads beginning November 1,
2006, and require us to maintain availability under our credit facilities of at least
$3.0 million. The amendment allows the Company to prepay its
junior credit facility subject to certain provisions. In addition, the amendment requires the Company to retain a
financial advisor to examine its financial forecast and its performance relative to its peers. The Company is
currently negotiating with the senior secured lenders to amend certain financial covenants through
the remainder of the loan term. While the Company believes it will be successful in negotiating
acceptable financial covenants, it can make no such guarantee.
Without an amendment to the covenants, the Companys projections
indicate that it would not be able to comply with the current
covenants for the remainder of 2006 and throughout 2007. Failure to comply
with covenants contained in the Companys senior secured credit agreement, if not waived or amended, would
result in a default under the agreement. Under an event of default, the lender may, (a) reduce the aggregate
amount of the obligations, (b) declare all or any portion
of the obligations immediately due and payable, or (c) terminate future advances. Any default
under the Companys senior secured credit agreement, particularly any default that results in
acceleration of indebtedness or foreclosure on collateral, would have a material adverse effect on
the Company. The Company classified all of its senior secured debt as a current liability as of
September 30, 2006 as a result of the potential for the acceleration of the loans outstanding under
the senior secured term loan in the event that the Company is unable
to obtain an amendment to the current covenants.
In October 2006, the Company amended its junior secured term loan agreement to waive September 30, 2006
financial covenants, increase the applicable borrowing spread from 7.25% to 9.00%, amend
certain covenant ratios, restrict certain of our expenditures subject to maintaining
certain financial ratios, and pay a fee. The Company is in full compliance with this loan
agreement, and its projections indicate that it is probable the
Company will remain in compliance for the remainder of 2006 and
throughout 2007. Accordingly, the Company has classified this obligation as a long-term liability.

Note 6. 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 consolidated income statements 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. The Company recognized stock-based expense of $53,000 during the first six months
of 2005, prior to the Companys agreement to cancel all outstanding stock options (discussed
below), which resulted in expensing the remaining unrecognized compensation of $408,000. For the
first nine months of 2006, the Company recognized share-based expense of $284,000 in connection
with the granting of stock options as discussed below.
On January 31, 2005, the Company agreed to cancel certain outstanding stock options of Anthony
F. Bova, its then President and Chief Executive Officer, which would have otherwise expired on that
date. In exchange for the cancellation of his 350,000 stock options, Mr. Bova received a cash
payment of approximately $2.4 million on April 8, 2005. The purpose of this option cancellation
agreement was to provide Mr. Bova with a payment similar to the one-time dividend he would
otherwise have received on that date on the shares issuable upon the exercise of the options
cancelled.
On March 11, 2005, the Company agreed to cancel the outstanding stock options of its
management, officers and directors (the Participants) in exchange for cash payments, on April 8,
2005, of approximately $2.0 million in aggregate in anticipation of the one-time dividend payment.
The purpose of the option cancellation agreements was to provide each Participant with a payment
similar to the dividend he or she would otherwise have received on the shares issuable upon the
exercise of the options cancelled. Accordingly, the Company cancelled an aggregate of 228,800
outstanding stock options previously granted to the Participants. Upon the cancellation of those
options, the Company recorded previously unrecognized compensation expense of $408,000 during the
first six months of fiscal 2005.
On March 15, 2005, the shareholders of the Company approved the amendment and restatement of
its 2001 Stock Award Plan. The amended and restated Plan increased the number of shares available
for grant from 500,000 to 865,000 and allows the granting of share-based awards other than stock
options, such as stock appreciation rights, restricted stock, stock units, bonus stock, dividend
equivalents, other stock-related awards and performance awards that may be settled in cash, stock,
or other property.
In the first quarter of 2006, the Company granted stock options to certain key employees and
directors. As of September 30, 2006, there was approximately $1.5 million of unrecognized
compensation cost related to nonvested share-based compensation arrangements granted under the
stock option plans. The Company expects to amortize this cost over a remaining weighted average
period of 4.6 years. The cost does not include the impact of any future share-based compensation
awards.

Note 7. Capital Structure
The Companys capital stock consists of Class A Common Stock, with holders entitled to one
vote per share, and Class B Common Stock, with holders entitled to 10 votes per share. Holders of
the Class B Common Stock are entitled to elect 75% of the Board of Directors; holders of Class A
Common Stock are entitled to elect the remaining 25%. Each share of Class B Common Stock is
convertible, at the option of the holder thereof, into one share of Class A Common Stock. Class A
Common Stock is not convertible into shares of any other equity security. During the nine months
ended September 30, 2006 and 2005, zero shares and 84,392 shares, respectively, of Class B Common
Stock were converted into Class A Common Stock.
In March 2005, the shareholders of the Company approved a proposal to change the Companys
state of incorporation from Florida to Delaware. Upon completion of this reincorporation, the par
value of the Companys Class A and Class B Common Stock decreased to $0.0001 per Common Share from
$0.10 per Common Share.
On March 22, 2005, the Companys Board of Directors declared a special, one-time cash dividend
of $12.50 per common share, payable April 8, 2005, to shareholders of record as of April 1, 2005.
This dividend aggregated approximately $103.2 million and was funded by proceeds from the Companys
new financing arrangement.

Note 8. Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities
All derivatives are recorded on the consolidated balance sheets at fair value. On the date the
derivative contract is entered into, 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 has entered into 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 until reclassified into earnings at the time of settlement
of the hedged 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
hedges 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.

Note 10. New Accounting Standards
In July 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued FASB Interpretation No.
48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes, (FIN 48), with respect to Financial Accounting
Standard No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes (FAS 109), which clarifies the accounting for
uncertainty in tax positions. FIN 48 requires that we recognize in our consolidated financial
statements the impact of a tax position if that position is more likely than not of being sustained
based on the technical merits of the position. The provisions of FIN 48 are effective for fiscal
years beginning after December 15, 2006, with the cumulative effect of the change in accounting
principle recorded as an adjustment to opening retained earnings. The Company is currently
evaluating the impact of adopting FIN 48 in its consolidated financial statements.
In September 2006, the Securities and Exchange Commission issued Staff Accounting Bulletin No.
108 (SAB 108) to address diversity in practice in quantifying financial statement misstatements.
SAB 108 requires that we quantify misstatements based on their impact on each of our financial
statements and related disclosures. SAB 108 is effective as of the end of our 2006 fiscal year,
allowing a one-time transitional cumulative effect adjustment to retained earnings as of January 1,
2006 for errors that were not previously deemed material, but are material under the guidance in
SAB 108. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting SAB 108 on its consolidated
financial statements.
In September 2006, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 157 (SFAS
157), which defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value, and expands
disclosures about fair value measurements. The provisions of SFAS 157 are effective as of the
beginning of the Companys 2008 fiscal year. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of
adopting SFAS 157 on our consolidated financial statements.
Note 11. Severance Expense
On September 22, 2006, we announced the appointment of Earl W. Powell as Executive Chairman
and Interim Chief Executive Officer as a result of the resignation of Anthony F. Bova, former CEO.
In accordance with Financial Accounting Standard No. 146, Accounting for Costs Associated with
Exit or Disposal Activities, in the third quarter of 2006, the Company recorded approximately
$603,000 in severance expense and $151,000 for a non-compete agreement with Mr. Bova. The present
value of both the severance and non-compete payments will be amortized over 15 months. The
non-compete agreement will be amortized over a period of 15 months. As of September 30, 2006, the unpaid portion of Mr. Bovas severance of approximately $756,000 is included in accrued expenses in the accompanying consolidated interim balance sheet. As of September 30, 2006, the
unamortized portion of Mr. Bovas non-compete agreement of
approximately $141,000 is included in other assets in the accompanying consolidated interim balance sheet. In addition, the Company
recorded approximately $52,000 of additional severance expense in the third quarter of 2006. In
the second quarter of 2006, the Company recorded approximately $297,000 in severance expense due to
the resignation of John A. Geary, former Senior Vice President and General Manager of our Molded
Products Group.

Results of Operations
Net Sales
Net sales for the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2006 were $108.3 million and
$328.6 million, respectively, compared to $106.6 million and $308.6 million, respectively, for the
comparable periods in 2005.
Net sales for the Plastic Films segment increased 8% to $71.1 million for the third quarter of
2006 compared with $66.0 million for the third quarter of 2005. Net sales for the nine months ended
September 30, 2006 increased 7% to $207.9 million compared to $194.1 million for the same period in
2005. These increases are primarily due to increased average selling prices, reflecting the
pass-through of higher resin costs compared to the prior year. Sales volume (measured in pounds)
decreased 8% and 5% for the third quarter and the nine months, respectively, in comparison to the
prior year periods.
Net sales for the Injection Molding segment for the quarter declined 9% but increased 7% for
the nine months ended September 30, 2006, compared to the quarter and nine months ended September
30, 2005. Volume growth within the Injection Molding segment has been slowed by weakness in the
housing market.
Net sales for the Profile Extrusion segment for the quarter declined 7% but increased 2% for
the nine months ended September 30, 2006, compared to the quarter and nine months ended September
30, 2005. The slow down is primarily due to weakness in the recreational vehicle market and
continued operating inefficiencies in our Elkhart, Indiana facilities.

Gross Margin and Operating Margin
Gross margin decreased to 10% and 12% for the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2006
compared to 15% for both periods, respectively, in 2005. Operating margins were 2% and 4% for the
quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2006 compared to 7% for both periods, respectively, in
2005. Operating expenses for the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2006 include
severance expenses of $0.7 million and $1.0 million, respectively. Operating expenses for the nine
months ended September 30, 2005 include $0.6 million of costs associated with a financing effort
that was not consummated during the first quarter of 2005 and $0.5 million of compensation expense
relating to the cancellation of stock options, also in the first quarter of 2005.
In the Plastic Films segment, gross margin and operating margin were 11% and 3%, respectively,
for the quarter ended September 30, 2006 compared with 15% and 6%, respectively, for the same
period in the 2005. For the nine months ended September 30, 2006, gross margin and operating margin
were 12% and 4%, respectively, compared to 15% and 6%, respectively, for the comparable periods in
2005. During the first nine months of 2006, our volume shipped was down 5% year-over-year as we
saw a continuing weakness in order rates as inventory levels were reduced throughout the
distribution channel.
In the Injection Molding segment, gross margin was 12% and 16% for the quarters ended
September 30, 2006 and 2005, respectively, and operating margin decreased to 4% for the quarter
ended September 30, 2006 compared to 9% for the quarter ended September 30, 2005. For the nine
months ended September 30, 2006, gross margin and operating margin were 14% and 6%, respectively,
compared to 16% and 8%, respectively, for the comparable periods in 2005. The downturn in the
housing sector, in both new home construction and remodeling markets, has resulted in a weakening
of order rates from both our OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) appliance and building products
customers.
In the Profile Extrusion segment, gross margin and operating margin decreased to 1% and -11%,
respectively, for the quarter ended September 30, 2006, from 16% and 6%, respectively, for the
quarter ended September 30, 2005. For the nine months ended September 30, 2006, gross margin and
operating margin declined to 8% and -2%, respectively, from 19% and 9%, respectively, for the same
period of 2005. These declines were due to weakness in recreational vehicle demand and operational
inefficiencies in our Elkhart, Indiana facilities.
Selling, General, and Administrative Expense
Selling, general, and administrative expenses decreased to $8.8 million for the quarter ended
September 30, 2006, including severance charges of $0.7 million, from $9.0 million for the quarter
ended September 30, 2005, and decreased to $26.0 million for the nine months ended September 30,
2006, including $1.0 million in severance charges, compared to $26.7 million in the prior year
including $0.6 million of costs associated with a financing effort that was not consummated.
Selling, general and administrative costs as a percentage of net sales were 8% for the quarter and
nine months ended September 30, 2006 compared to 8% for the quarter and 9% for the nine months
ended September 30, 2005.
Net Interest Expense and Unamortized Deferred Financing Cost
Net interest expense for the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2006 increased to
$5.1 million and $14.7 million, respectively, compared to $4.5 million and $10.3 million,
respectively, for the same periods in 2005. The increases were primarily due to higher average
outstanding borrowings under our new $220.0 million credit facility and higher average interest
rates on borrowings outstanding. Unamortized deferred financing costs written off during the first
quarter of 2005 were $3.8 million as a result of replacing our
17
previously existing credit facility
of $120.0 million with our new $220.0 million credit facility in March 2005.
Operating and Net (Loss) Income
As a result of the factors described above, operating income decreased to $2.3 million, 2% of
net sales, during the quarter ended September 30, 2006, compared with $7.4 million, 7% of net
sales, for the quarter ended September 30, 2005. For the nine months ended September 30, 2006,
operating income decreased to $13.0 million, 4% of net sales, compared to $20.3 million, 7% of net
sales, for the nine months ended September 30, 2005.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
At September 30, 2006, we had $47 thousand in cash and cash equivalents, $209.2 million
of outstanding indebtedness, and an additional $10.6 million of unused availability, net of
outstanding letters of credit of approximately $1.6 million, under our new $220.0 million secured
financing credit facility entered into on March 22, 2005. The new financing includes a $25.0
million revolving credit facility maturing March 2011, a $120.0 million senior secured term loan
facility maturing September 2011 and a $75.0 million junior secured term loan facility maturing
March 2012. Substantially all of our accounts receivable, inventories and property and equipment
are pledged as collateral under this credit facility.
Proceeds from the new financing facility were used to repay previously existing senior secured
debt of $83.9 million outstanding on March 22, 2005 and to pay related fees and expenses. In
connection with the cancellation of our previous credit facility, we wrote-off approximately $3.8
million of deferred financing costs associated with the old facility during the first quarter of
fiscal 2005. Additionally, we expensed approximately $0.6 million of costs associated with a
financing effort that was not consummated. Furthermore, on March 22, 2005, our Board of Directors
declared a special one-time cash dividend of $12.50 per common share, which was paid on April 8,
2005, to shareholders of record as of April 1, 2005. This dividend aggregated approximately $103.2
million and was funded by proceeds from our new credit facility. Along with the special dividend
payment, we paid approximately $4.4 million to holders of outstanding stock options in exchange for
the cancellation of those options. As a result of the option cancellations, we recorded
compensation expense in the amount of $408,000 during the first quarter of 2005 in accordance with
the provision of FAS 123R, which we adopted on January 1, 2005.
In
October 2006, we amended our senior secured term loan and revolving
credit facility agreement to waive September 30, 2006 financial
covenants, impose monthly minimum EBITDA requirements for October
2006 and November 2006, increase applicable borrowing spreads
beginning November 1, 2006, and require us
18
to
maintain availability under our credit facilities of at least
$3.0 million. The amendment allows us to prepay our junior credit
facility subject to certain provisions. In addition, the amendment
requires us to retain a financial advisor to examine our financial
forecast and our performance relative to our peers. We are currently
negotiating with the senior secured lenders to amend certain
financial covenants through the remainder of the loan term. While we
believe we will be successful in negotiating acceptable financial
covenants, we can make no such guarantee. Without an amendment to the
covenants, our projections indicate that we would not be able to
comply with the current covenants for the remainder of 2006
throughout 2007. Failure to comply with covenants contained in our
senior secured credit agreement, if not waived or amended, would
result in a default under the agreement. Under an event of default,
the lender may, (a) reduce the aggregate amount of the
obligations, (b) declare all or any portion of the obligations
immediately due and payable, or (c) terminate future advances.
Any default under our senior secured credit agreement, particularly
any default that results in acceleration of indebtedness or
foreclosure on collateral, would have a material adverse effect on
us. We classified all of our senior secured debt as a current
liability as of September 30, 2006 as a result of the potential
for the acceleration of the loans outstanding under the senior
secured term loan in the event that we are unable to obtain an
amendment to the current covenants.
In
October 2006, we amended our junior secured term loan agreement to
waive September 30, 2006 financial covenants, increase the
applicable borrowing spread from 7.25% to 9.00%, amend certain
covenant ratios, restrict certain of our expenditures subject to
maintaining certain financial ratios, and pay a fee. We are in full
compliance with this loan agreement, and our projections indicate
that it is probable we will remain in compliance for the remainder of
2006 and throughout 2007. Accordingly, we have classified this
obligation as a long-term liability.
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.
Presently, we do not have any material commitments for future capital expenditures.
Our
high debt level and our continuing ability to comply with debt
covenants present substantial risks and could have negative consequences. For
example, it could (1) require us to dedicate all or a substantial portion of our cash flow from
operations to debt service, limiting the availability of cash for other purposes; (2) increase our
vulnerability to adverse general economic conditions by making it more difficult to maintain
compliance with our debt covenants or to borrow additional funds to maintain our operations if we
suffer shortfalls in net sales; (3) hinder our flexibility in planning for, or reacting to, changes
in our business and industry by preventing us from borrowing money to upgrade equipment or
facilities; and (4) limit or impair our ability to obtain additional financing in the future for
working capital, capital expenditures, acquisitions, or general corporate purposes.
In the event that our cash flow from operations is not sufficient to fund our expenditures or
to service our indebtedness, we would be required to raise additional funds through the sale of
assets or subsidiaries. There can be no assurance that any of these sources of funds would be
available in amounts sufficient for us to meet our obligations. Moreover, even if we were able to
meet our obligations, our highly leveraged capital structure could significantly limit our ability
to finance our expansion program and other capital expenditures, to compete effectively, or to
operate successfully under adverse economic conditions.
Cash Flows from Operating Activities
Net cash used for operating activities was $5.2 million for the nine months ended September
30, 2006, compared to $3.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2005. The use of
operating cash flow during 2006 resulted primarily from higher working capital requirements,
comprised of a reduction in accounts payable and accrued expenses of $10.9 million, an increase in
other assets and liabilities of $1.6 million, an increase in other current assets of $0.6 million,
an increase in accounts receivable of $0.7 million, amortization of $0.7 million for a redeemed
swap, and an increase in inventory of $0.2 million, and, partially offset by $9.2 million in
depreciation and $0.7 million of loan fee amortization. The use of operating cash flow during the
same period in 2005 was attributable to an increase in accounts receivable of $10.6 million, a
decrease of $6.1 million in accounts payable and accrued expenses, an increase in inventories of
$2.9 million, and an increase of other current assets of $2.7 million, partially offset by
depreciation of $8.7 million, other amortization of $4.4 million, an unconsummated finance charge
of $0.6 million, and $0.5 million share-based compensation expense.
Cash Flows from Investing Activities
Net cash used for investing activities decreased to $8.2 million for the nine months ended
September 30, 2006, compared to $12.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2005 as a
result of decreased capital expenditures, net of proceeds from asset dispositions, between the
periods.
19
Cash Flows from Financing Activities
Net cash provided by financing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 was
$13.3 million, compared with net cash provided of $16.4 million for the nine months ended September
30, 2005. Net cash provided by financing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2006
resulted primarily from net borrowings of $11.6 million under our revolving credit facility and
proceeds of $3.4 million from the swap redemption, offset by $1.2 million of repayments under term
loans, $0.4 million in repayments of bonds, and $0.1 million in financing costs associated with
credit agreements. Net cash provided by financing activities for the first nine months of 2005
reflect net borrowings of $207.9 million under our new credit agreement, a $3.7 million income tax
benefit due to the exercise of employee stock options, $2.5 million in proceeds from the exercise
of stock options and the receipt of approximately $0.5 million in repayments of shareholder notes.
These amounts were offset by a $103.2 million payment of a one-time special dividend to
shareholders on April 8, 2005, net repayments of $87.7 million on our retired credit facility, and
$6.7 million of financing costs associated with our credit agreements.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In July 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued FASB
Interpretation No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes, (FIN 48), with respect to
Financial Accounting Standard No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes (FAS 109), which clarifies
the accounting for uncertainty in tax positions. FIN 48 requires that we recognize in our
consolidated financial statements the impact of a tax position if that position is more likely than
not of being sustained based on the technical merits of the position. The provisions of FIN 48 are
effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006, with the cumulative effect of the
change in accounting principle recorded as an adjustment to opening retained earnings. We are
currently evaluating the impact on our consolidated financial statements of adopting FIN 48.
In September 2006, the Securities and Exchange Commission issued Staff Accounting Bulletin No.
108 (SAB 108) to address diversity in practice in quantifying financial statement misstatements.
SAB 108 requires that we quantify misstatements based on their impact on each of our financial
statements and related disclosures. SAB 108 is effective as of the end of our 2006 fiscal year,
allowing a one-time transitional cumulative effect adjustment to retained earnings as of January 1,
2006 for errors that were not previously deemed material, but are material under the guidance in
SAB 108. We are currently evaluating the impact on our consolidated financial statements of
adopting SAB 108.
In September 2006, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 157 (SFAS
157), which defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value, and expands
disclosures about fair value measurements. The provisions of SFAS 157 are effective as of the
beginning of our 2008 fiscal year. We are currently evaluating the impact on our consolidated
financial statements of adopting SFAS 157.

On March 22, 2005, the Company replaced its existing credit facility with a new credit
agreement resulting in variable rate debt outstanding at September 30, 2006. Currently, the Company
has an interest rate swap agreement which matures in June 2008 that has the effect of converting
$125 million of the Companys floating rate debt to a fixed rate. The Company has designated this
interest rate swap agreement as a cash flow hedge (see also Note 5. Debt and Note 8. Derivative
Instruments and Hedging Activities). The Company uses interest rate swap agreements to manage its
exposure of interest rate changes on the Companys variable rate debt. For each $10.0 million of
variable rate debt outstanding, a 25 basis point increase or decrease in the level of interest
rates (primarily LIBOR) would, respectively, increase or decrease annual interest expense by
approximately $25,000.
There have been no other significant changes with respect to market risks related to the
Company since December 31, 2005.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures
Our Interim Chief Executive Officer (CEO) and Chief Financial Officer (CFO) have
evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of September 30, 2006.
Based on this evaluation, our Interim CEO and CFO have each concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are
effective to ensure that we record, process, summarize, and report information required to be
disclosed by us in our quarterly reports filed under the Securities Exchange Act within the time
periods specified by the Securities and Exchange Commissions rules and forms. During the quarterly
period covered by this report, there have not been any changes in our internal controls over
financial reporting that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect,
our internal control over financial reporting. Subsequent to the date of their evaluation, there
have not been any significant changes in our internal controls or in other facts that could
significantly effect these controls.

Part II. Other Information
Item 1. Legal Proceedings
The Company is not a party to any legal proceeding other than routine litigation
incidental to its business, none of which is expected to have a material effect on the Company.
Item 1A. Risk Factors
In addition to the other information set forth in this report, you should carefully
consider the factors discussed in part I, Item 1A. Risk Factors in our Annual Report on Form 10-K
for the year ended December 31, 2005, which could materially affect our business, financial
condition and future results. The risks described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K are not the
only risks facing our Company. Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to us or
that we currently deem to be immaterial also may adversely affect our business, financial condition
and/or operating results.
