ITEM 1. BUSINESS
Overview
Atlantis Plastics, Inc., headquartered in Atlanta, Georgia, is a leading manufacturer of
high quality specialty plastic films and custom molded and extruded plastic products used for
storage and transportation, food service, appliance, automotive, commercial and consumer
applications. We currently operate 15 manufacturing plants located throughout the United States,
and we believe we are a low cost producer in many of our product lines. We operate through three
operating business segments: Plastic Films, Injection Molding and Profile Extrusion.
Plastic Films, which accounted for approximately 64% of our net sales in 2006, is a leading
manufacturer of specialty plastic films. The Plastic Films segment is comprised of three operating
divisions: (1) Stretch Films, (2) Custom Films and (3) Institutional Products. Stretch Films
produces high quality, monolayer and multilayer plastic films used to cover, package and protect
products for storage and transportation applications. We are one of the largest producers of
stretch films in the United States. Custom Films produces a wide variety of specialized monolayer
and multilayer plastic films used as substrates in multilayer laminations for retail packaging,
foam padding for carpet and automotive applications, medical applications, protective masking for
acrylic sheet goods, industrial packaging and an array of other highly specialized applications.
Institutional Products converts custom films into disposable products such as table covers, gloves
and aprons, which are used primarily in institutional food service.
Injection Molding, which accounted for approximately 28% of our net sales in 2006, is a
leading manufacturer of both custom and proprietary injection molded products that are sold
primarily to original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) in the home appliance, power tool, automotive
parts, recreational vehicle and construction industries. Injection Molding also manufactures a line
of proprietary plastic cedar shake siding panels for the home building industry and residential
replacement market under the Cedarwayâ trade name.
Profile Extrusion, which accounted for approximately 8% of our net sales in 2006, is a
manufacturer of custom
-3-
extruded plastic products, primarily for use in consumer and commercial
products, including recreational vehicles, mobile homes, residential doors and windows, office
furniture and appliances. We are one of the leading manufacturers of custom extruded plastic
products for recreational vehicles.
Industry Overview
Plastic Films. We participate in the flexible plastic films industry, which generated
approximately 16.8 billion pounds in 2006, according to a 2007 industry report from The Freedonia
Group. According to the Flexible Packaging Association 2006 State of
the
Industry Report, the total revenue of the flexible packaging industry
will grow from $21.8 billion in 2005 to $22.5 billion in
2006. The flexible plastic films industry is populated by a few large film manufacturers and many
smaller producers. Smaller competitors tend to focus on geographic areas to minimize transportation
costs and specialize on a few products for niche markets. Growth in flexible plastic films is
driven primarily by the increased use of plastic films in flexible packaging because of performance
and cost advantages over competing packaging technologies.
Within the plastic films industry, we manufacture monolayer and multilayer linear low density
polyethylene (LLDPE) stretch films and custom films made from a wide variety of polymers and
co-polymers of ethylene and propylene. According to The Freedonia Group, 2006 demand for stretch
film was 1.4 to 1.6 billion pounds with growth forecast at 5% per year driven by a favorable
outlook for industrial activity, as well as heightened needs for the protection of goods during
warehousing and distribution as mass retailers increase their dominance in the retail sector.
Custom Films, sometimes referred to as engineered films, are required
in most segments of the $21.8 billion flexible packaging
industry, which includes applications in food, medical and
pharmaceutical, industrial and consumer products.
Injection Molding. Injection molding is among the most widely utilized industrial plastic
processes, generating market demand of approximately $30.2 billion in revenue in 2006 according to
Plastics News. The injection molding industry is highly fragmented with an emphasis on regional
markets. Growth in injection molding is expected to be driven by the increased usage of plastic
components for consumer products, appliances, automobiles, computers, medical devices and other
applications.
Profile Extrusion. Much like the injection molding industry, the profile extrusion industry
is highly fragmented with an emphasis on regional markets. Growth in the profile extrusion industry
is expected to be driven primarily by the trend toward outsourcing by OEMs.
Our Business Strategies
Increase Market Penetration. While many of our product lines hold leading positions in
their market segments, we believe substantial opportunities exist to expand our customer base and
deepen penetration in our chosen markets. An example lies in the marketing of our Cedarwayâ
specialty siding product. Significant opportunity can be realized in this high growth market
segment via more widespread distribution. In Stretch Films, we are well represented throughout the
United States, Canada and Mexico through major national distributors, as well as via regional
distribution channels where appropriate. We also believe we can increase market penetration and
deepen our current customer relationships through the co-development of low cost, high quality
component parts in our Injection Molding segment. Additionally, we plan to increase our share of
the recreational vehicle and manufactured housing markets by enhancing our position as a low cost
provider, providing world-class customer service and introducing new proprietary products.
Expand Product Offerings. Additionally, we are focused on increasing sales to new and
existing customers by continuously improving existing products and expanding our product offerings
through innovation. We have established a solid track record of new product development, and we
intend to continue our successful product development efforts across all of our businesses. For
example, we are successfully expanding our customer base in our Plastic Films segment through the
introduction of customized film structures to packaging converters serving the recession-resistant
food industry. We plan to dedicate focused resources to expand the higher value-added portions of
our Injection Molding product portfolio, where we believe there is an excellent opportunity to
increase net sales and improve overall margin. We also expect to introduce new proprietary products
in our Profile Extrusion segment, including continuing expansion of extruded accessories for the
specialty siding industry. We have completed a transition to a direct sales force in this
business, away from a manufacturers representative structure. Since the introduction of our cedar
shake products in 2000, net sales from building products have grown from $0.7 million in 2000 to
$25.6 million in 2006.
Maximize Operating Efficiencies. We continually seek to improve our operating efficiencies by
reducing costs, increasing our recovery rates and maintaining operational flexibility. In order to
achieve this goal, we will continue to make prudent investments in our operations and people. For
example, we intend to continue to achieve cost savings in our Plastic Films segment through further
reduction of materials usage and labor through the use of statistical process improvement
-4-
methods in our current manufacturing facilities. Additionally, we look to increase manufacturing
efficiencies and profitability in our Injection Molding segment through the further use of
robotics, streamlining materials flow and by focusing on waste reduction. We have effectively used
an external manufacturing consultant to identify cost savings opportunities and efficiency
improvements in our Elkhart, Indiana complex, and we are investigating similar opportunities in our
Injection Molding facilities.
Pursue Acquisitions at Reasonable Valuations. We have experience in completing acquisitions
and integrating them into our existing businesses. We will continue to seek acquisition candidates at reasonable
valuations and integrate them into our existing operations.
Products
Stretch Films. We are one of the largest producers of stretch films in the United States.
We manufacture both monolayer and multilayer stretch films used primarily to wrap pallets of
industrial and commercial goods for shipping or storage. Secondary markets for stretch film
products include the bundling of non-palletized products such as carpet rolls, construction
materials, furniture and paper. Stretch films are typically produced using linear low density
polyethylene resins and other materials, and are manufactured using both blown and cast extrusion
processes to meet rigid customer specifications. We have over 400 SKUs in the machine wrap and
hand wrap segment. We are one of the two original producers of stretch films and, as a result, our
Linear branded products enjoy considerable brand equity. Our product offerings include our highly
successful Advantage stretch film line, which incorporates three stretch films types, and is
marketed under the Linear brand product family.
The principal attributes driving the demand for stretch films are as follows:
|
|
|
Load Containment. Stretch film is puncture resistant and can be expanded up to 300% of
its pre-stretch size, creating a rubber band effect that applies force evenly to a load,
helping to prevent palletized products from shifting during the distribution and handling
processes. The consistent load containment minimizes product damage and reduces total
costs relative to other, less reliable packaging alternatives. |
|
|
|
|
Cost Effectiveness. Stretch film provides superior strength-to-weight ratios, is
cheaper to produce, and results in the creation of less waste than alternative containment
media. Materials such as strapping, banding, corrugated boxes and adhesives continue to be
displaced by stretch films at an increasing rate due to their cost and weight reduction
benefits. The average stretch film requirement for pallet wrapping has decreased from
nearly 30 ounces per load to less than 8 ounces per load as a result of manufacturing and
resin technology improvements, which have enabled down gauging. |
|
|
|
|
Ease of Use. Stretch film allows for the effective, simple containment of bulk goods
and is less labor and time intensive than alternative containment media. Machine wrap
represents approximately two-thirds of the market for stretch film and continues to grow
in popularity due to advances in automated wrapping machinery. |
Custom Films. We produce single and multilayer blown, cast and embossed films made from a wide
variety of polymers and co-polymers of ethylene, including low density and linear low density
polyethylene. These custom engineered and specialty films serve the coating, lamination, medical,
automotive, textile, carpeting, furniture, manufacturing and food packaging industries. Custom
Films maintains over 1,000 film recipes utilizing different combinations of resins, colors, and
specialized additives in a broad range of film widths, thicknesses, and roll configurations. The
following are among the divisions largest volume market segments:
|
|
|
Flexible Packaging Converter Films. Films engineered for converted flexible packaging
are marketed under the Proflex tm brand and used in laminated
applications as sealant layers, barrier layers and/or as a print carrier for graphics in
stand-up pouches and similar value added packaging. Proflex tm films
can also be used in an unsupported format, plain or printed, for the manufacture of bags or
wrapping of foods and consumer goods such as bakery or towel and tissue items. |
|
|
|
|
Masking Films. Masking films are used to protect the surface of materials such as
acrylic or polycarbonate sheet, glass and metal during transportation, storage, fabrication
and installation. These films incorporate a scratch, abrasion and gouge resistant layer on
one side and a heat activated adhesive layer on the other, to bind the film to the final
products surface and allow removal to expose a pristine product surface once an item is
finished. |
|
|
|
|
Foam Lamination and Adhesive Films. Foam lamination films are designed to be a carrier
web and become an integral structural component of carpet pad foam and automotive trim
components. Adhesive films act as a heat activated bonding layer between two substrates or
sheets made from diverse materials including applications such as structural panels used in
semi-trailer construction and similar items.
|
-5-
|
|
|
Non-Woven Lamination Films. These films adhere to non-woven substrates and become a
functional part of the finished product. Applications include dental bibs, surgical
drapings, other medical related products and absorbent tray pads used in meat packaging. |
|
|
|
|
Carpet, Furniture and Textile Packaging Films. This category includes a number of high
strength, wide web films and protective bags used for wrapping textiles and packaging large
format items like mattresses and furniture. |
|
|
|
|
Embossed Films. Embossed films are used in the manufacture of personal care items,
disposable protective clothing and table cloths, and for carrier or release films used in
the production of rubber, composite aerospace materials and molding compounds as a
separation medium. |
Institutional Products. Marketed under the Sta-DriÒ brand name, we produce disposable
consumer and institutional plastic products for the food service, party supply and
school/collegiate markets. These product offerings are available in a variety of styles, colors,
thickness levels and weights. Products produced include table covers and skirts, aisle runners,
aprons, bibs, gloves, boots, freezer/storage bags, saddle pack bags, locker wrap and custom imprint
designs.
Injection Molding. We produce custom thermoplastic components for small and large appliances,
including refrigerators, air conditioners, dehumidifiers and dishwashers. The division also
manufactures products for the power tool, recreational vehicle, automotive and building products
markets. Injection Molding manufactures a proprietary line of cedar replica building panels for
siding applications in residential and commercial construction markets. The line includes a cedar
shake panel for siding applications sold under the Cedarwayâ brand name and proprietary
half-round accent panels. These products provide a maintenance free, cost effective,
easy-to-install, long lasting alternative to wood, vinyl and aluminum siding products.
Profile Extrusion. We are a major manufacturer and marketer of profile extruded and injection
molded components for the recreational vehicle market based in Elkhart, Indiana. Additionally,
significant capital investment has allowed us to grow our portfolio of building product related
offerings. In addition to certain building products produced by our Injection Molding division,
Profile Extrusion offerings also include building products accessories such as: 1) double-utility
trim, 2) PLY-J tm flexible J channel siding trim, 3) Flex-Flash flexible drip
edge flashing products, and 4) a fluted outside corner which is an extruded building component used
primarily in the remodeling industry.
Sales and Marketing
Stretch Films. Under the Linear brand name, we sell stretch film from stock nationally to
approximately 400 distributors of industrial packaging and directly to several large end users.
More than 90% of our stretch film volume is sold to distributors through our direct sales
organization. During the fourth quarter of 2006, we revised our national accounts approach and
increased human resources in this area.
Custom Films. We market specialty custom films predominantly via direct sale to end users,
with a majority of the divisions sales completed on an order-by-order basis, as opposed to an
inventory stocking basis. Our Custom Films sales and marketing personnel, which include a mix of
product line experts and geographical representatives, work closely with our dedicated Custom Films
technical group to develop specific solutions for a wide range of customer applications. The
division is marketing its expanded co-extrusion production capabilities in an effort to further
penetrate targeted markets.
Institutional Products. This division sells primarily through a nation-wide broker network to
numerous customers in the institutional food service, hospital and janitorial supply and party
supply/retail store markets. Sales to both resellers and end market retailers are completed on an
order-by-order basis.
Injection Molding. This division maintains an in-house sales and engineering staff that
assists in the design of products to customer specifications, designs molds to produce those
products, and oversees the construction of necessary molds. Its program management concept
promotes early involvement with customers engineers to assist with product and tooling design and
the establishment of acceptable quality standards. Its Statistical Process Control (SPC) systems
enable it to meet these established quality standards on a cost effective basis. We believe that
our ability to offer SPC quality assurance, as well as value-added secondary operations such as hot
stamping, silk screening and assembly provide us with a competitive advantage in selling to
national accounts. In-house personnel generate the majority of our sales. Independent sales
representatives, calling primarily on industrial customers in the Midwest, account for the balance.
Building products sales are conducted through our direct sales force.
Profile Extrusion. In-house sales personnel who oversee a network of independent sales
representatives conduct the Profile Extrusion divisions marketing and sales activities. These
representatives call on a diversified customer base in
-6-
approximately 30 states. We supply many industries, including manufacturers of appliances, recreational vehicles, residential windows and
doors, office furniture, building supplies and marine products.
Manufacturing and Raw Materials
Stretch Films. We manufacture our stretch film products utilizing cast and blown, mono
and co-extrusion technology in three facilities, located in Tulsa, Oklahoma; Nicholasville,
Kentucky; and Fontana, California. We purchase several types of low density and linear low density
resins and other materials to manufacture our stretch film products. We installed in 2006 in
Tulsa, Oklahoma a state-of-the-art blown film line to augment our capabilities in value added
specialty films. We continue to spend capital to upgrade controls and winders, for instance, to
ensure a continued supply of very high quality Linear stretch films.
Custom Films. Custom films products are manufactured in Mankato, Minnesota and Cartersville,
Georgia. Production capabilities include monolayer and multilayer co-extruded blown, cast and
embossed films. Our cast films may contain as many as seven individual layers, while our blown
films may be configured with up to five layers, each layer serving a specific purpose and potentially made from different resin ingredients. Primary ingredients for
these films include several types of low density, linear low density polyethylene and polypropylene
materials, and encompass many co-polymers of ethylene and propylene, as well as many specialty
additives and pigments. We commissioned a new 5-layer W&H blown film line in our Cartersville,
Georgia plant in late fourth quarter of 2006, and will start up a new 7-layer W&H blown film line
in our Mankato, Minnesota plant during the first quarter of 2007.
Institutional Products. This division sources film manufactured by Custom Films and converts
the film into disposable poly gloves, bibs, aprons and table covers at its manufacturing facility
in Mankato, Minnesota. Institutional Products is predominantly an automated converting facility
that enjoys a low cost manufacturing position. The division holds a competitive advantage through
vertical integration with base film supplied from Custom Films Mankato, Minnesota operation. The
division also imports products, predominantly gloves, from Asia.
Injection Molding. We operate molding presses ranging from 30 to 1,000 tons of clamping force
and related secondary equipment at seven plants located in Henderson, Kentucky; Ft. Smith,
Arkansas; Warren, Ohio; LaVergne, Tennessee; Jackson, Tennessee; Alamo, Texas; and Elkhart,
Indiana. The variety of equipment configurations and plant locations enables us to fulfill customer
requirements, including multiple components, various press sizes and secondary operations.
Our injection molding customers generally place orders for products based on their production
requirements for the following three to four months, with a non-binding estimate of requirements
over six to twelve months. We believe that the relatively long production cycles for our customers
make these estimates reliable. See Item 1, Business Backlog.
A wide variety of materials, such as acrylonitrile butadiene styrene (ABS), polystyrene,
polyethylene, polycarbonate and nylon are used in the manufacturing process.
Profile Extrusion. We manufacture our extruded plastic parts at our two facilities located in
Elkhart, Indiana. Five basic types of compound materials are used in the manufacturing process.
These materials are polyvinyl chloride in both rigid and flexible forms, polyethylene,
polypropylene and thermoplastic rubber.
Raw Materials. The raw materials we use in the manufacture of our products are various plastic
resins, primarily polyethylene, polypropylene and polyvinyl chloride. We select our suppliers on
the basis of quality, price, technical support and service. We have contracts with resin
manufacturers that allow us to achieve what we believe to be the best combination of price, resin
availability and new product development support. We believe our relationships with our resin
suppliers are good. We do not hedge the purchase of our raw materials, though we do manage our
resin inventory levels with a view toward the expected direction of resin prices. Virtually all of
our plastic resin supplies are manufactured within the United States. Although the plastics
industry has from time to time experienced shortages of plastic resins, to date, including as
recently as the hurricane season of 2005, we have not experienced any such shortages. We believe
that there are adequate sources available to meet our raw material needs.
We use over 300 million pounds of plastic resins annually. We believe that our large volume
purchases of plastic resin have generally resulted in lower net raw material costs and enabled us
to obtain shipments of raw materials even in periods of short supply. All major resin sourcing
initiatives are conducted centrally, to maximize our volume purchasing leverage.
The primary plastic resins we use are produced from petrochemical feedstock mostly derived
from natural gas liquids. Based on the supply and demand cycles in the petrochemical industry,
substantial cyclical price fluctuations can occur. Consequently, plastic resin prices often
fluctuate, and such prices fluctuated significantly during 1999 through 2006. See Item
-7-
1A, Risk Factors. Our financial performance is dependent on raw material prices and our ability to pass on
price increases to customers.
Competition
Our operating units face intense competition from numerous competitors, several of which
have greater financial resources than we do. In addition, the markets for certain of our products
are characterized by a low cost of entry or competition based primarily on price.
Plastic Films competes with a limited number of producers capable of national distribution and
a greater number of smaller manufacturers that target specific regional markets and specialty film
segments. Competition is based on quality, price, service (including the manufacturers ability to
supply customers in a timely manner), and product differentiation. We believe Plastic Films
successfully competes on the basis of its established reputation for service and quality, as well
as its position as an innovative, efficient, low cost producer.
Injection Molding competes in a highly fragmented segment of the plastics industry, with a
large number of regional manufacturers competing on the basis of customer service (including timely
delivery and engineering/design capabilities), quality and price. We believe that our custom
injection molding business successfully competes based on its ability to offer extensive customer
service, manufacturing efficiencies, and a wide range of production capabilities. Our proprietary
building products business competes with large and well established suppliers to the industry and
on the basis of product differentiation and service. Our cedar replica siding is recognized as having the most
authentic appearance and is offered in the broadest array of colors in the industry.
Profile Extrusion competes regionally with a number of smaller extruders that focus on
specialized niche markets. Competition is driven primarily by price, quality, and service levels.
We believe that Profile Extrusion successfully competes based on its high service levels, strong
production capabilities, and broad geographic reach. In 2006, we made senior management changes
with our Profile Extrusion division and retained a consultant to assist in developing an
operational improvement plan to reduce fixed costs and scrap rates and increase productivity and
utilization rates through improved manufacturing practices.
Backlog
Our total backlog at December 31, 2006 was approximately $23.3 million, compared with
approximately $43.0 million at December 31, 2005. We do not consider any specific months backlog
to be a significant indicator of sales trends due to the various factors that influence backlog,
such as price changes, which lead to customer inventory order adjustments.

Environmental Regulation
Actions by federal, state and local governments concerning environmental matters could result
in laws or regulations that could increase the cost of producing the products we manufacture or
otherwise adversely affect the demand for our products. At present, environmental laws and
regulations do not have a material adverse effect upon the demand for our products. Certain local
governments have adopted ordinances prohibiting or restricting the use or disposal of certain
plastic products that are among the types we produce.
In addition, certain of our operations are subject to federal, state and local environmental
laws and regulations that impose limitations on the discharge of pollutants into the air and water
and establish standards for the treatment, storage and disposal of solid and hazardous wastes.
Historically, we have not had to make significant capital expenditures for compliance with such
laws and regulations.
While we cannot predict with any certainty our future capital expenditure requirements for
environmental regulatory compliance because of continually changing compliance standards and
technology, we have not currently identified any of our facilities as requiring major expenditures
for environmental remediation or to achieve compliance with environmental regulations. Accordingly,
we have not accrued any amounts relating to achieving compliance with currently promulgated
environmental laws and regulations. See Item 1A, Risk Factors. Environmental, health and safety
matters could require material expenditures and changes in our operations.
ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS
An investment in our common stock involves a high degree of risk. You should carefully
consider the factors described below, in addition to those discussed elsewhere in this report, in
analyzing an investment in the common stock. If any of the events described below occurs, our
business, financial condition and results of operations would likely suffer and the trading price
of our common stock could fall.
The following factors could cause our actual results to differ materially from those projected
in forward-looking statements, whether made in this 10-K, annual or quarterly reports to
shareholders, future press releases, SEC filings or orally, whether in presentations, responses to
questions or otherwise. See Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements.
Our substantial indebtedness could adversely affect our financial condition and prevent us from
fulfilling future obligations.
As of February 28, 2007 we had $213.8 million of outstanding indebtedness, approximately $0.3
million in cash and cash equivalents and an additional $4.5 million of unused availability under
our credit facilities, net of outstanding letters of credit of $3.6 million and a minimum
availability requirement under our credit facilities of $3.0 million.
Our substantial indebtedness has negative consequences. For example, it:
|
|
|
increases our vulnerability to general adverse economic and industry conditions; |
|
|
|
|
requires us to dedicate all or a substantial portion of our cash flow from
operations to payments on our indebtedness, thereby reducing the availability of our
cash flow to fund working capital, capital expenditures, product development efforts
and other general corporate purposes;
|
-9-
|
|
|
limits our flexibility in planning for, or reacting to, changes in our business
and the industries in which we operate, including our ability to pursue attractive
acquisition opportunities; |
|
|
|
|
places us at a competitive disadvantage compared to our competitors that have less debt; |
|
|
|
|
limits our ability to borrow additional funds; and |
|
|
|
|
limits our ability to obtain favorable credit terms. |
We may be unable to continue to satisfy the financial covenants in our credit agreements.
Our credit agreements require us to satisfy certain financial covenants, generally based on
EBITDA, including minimum EBITDA, minimum fixed charge ratio, and maximum leverage. Our credit
agreements require us to measure our compliance with financial covenants each fiscal quarter.
Although we are currently in compliance with such covenants, our continued ability to satisfy those
covenants can be effected by events both within and beyond our control, and we may be unable to
meet those covenants in future periods.
From time to time we have amended or revised our financial covenants, and have also received
waivers of covenant compliance under various loan arrangements. However, we may not continue to
receive waivers from our lenders or be permitted to amend the financial covenants.
A breach of any of the financial covenants or other terms of our debt could result in an event
of default under our credit agreements. A default may, among other things, cause all amounts owed
by us under the agreement to become due immediately. Any inability to obtain a waiver from our
lenders could have a material adverse effect on our ability to service our indebtedness, pay our
other obligations and continue as a going concern.
We face intense competition that could result in our losing or failing to gain market share and
adversely affect our results of operations.
We face intense competition from numerous competitors, several of which have greater financial
resources than us. In addition, the markets for certain of our products are characterized by low
cost of entry or competition based primarily on price. This intense competition could result in
pricing pressures, lower sales, reduced margins and lower market share.
Plastic Films competes with a limited number of producers capable of national distribution and
a greater number of smaller manufacturers that target specific regional markets and specialty film
segments competing on the basis of quality, price, service (including the manufacturers ability to
supply customers in a timely manner) and product differentiation.
Injection Molding competes in a highly fragmented segment of the plastics industry, with a
large number of regional manufacturers competing on the basis of customer service (including timely
delivery and engineering/design capabilities), quality, product differentiation and price. Our
building products business competes with large and well established suppliers to the industry,
competing on the basis of product differentiation and service.
Profile Extrusion competes regionally with a number of smaller extruders that focus on
specialized niche markets, competing on the basis of cost, quality and service levels.
There can be no assurance that we will continue to compete successfully in the markets for our
products or that competition in such markets will not intensify.
Our financial performance is dependent on raw material prices and our ability to pass on price
increases to customers.
The primary raw materials we use in the manufacture of our products are various plastic
resins, primarily polyethylene. Our financial performance therefore is dependent to a substantial
extent on the polyethylene resin market. The capacity, supply and demand for plastic resins and the
petrochemical intermediates from which they are produced are subject to substantial cyclical price
fluctuations and other market disturbances, including supply shortages. Consequently, plastic resin
prices may fluctuate as a result of changes in natural gas and crude oil prices. While we attempt
to pass through changes in the cost of our raw materials to our customers in the form of price
increases, we cannot be assured that we will be able to do so in the future. To the extent that
increases in the cost of plastic resins cannot be passed on to our customers, or the duration of
time lags associated with a pass through becomes significant, such increases may have a material
adverse effect on our profitability. Furthermore, during periods when resin prices are falling,
gross profits may suffer, as we will be selling products manufactured with resin purchased one to
two months prior at higher prices.
Sales to one of our customers accounted for 17.4% of our net sales in 2006, and the loss of sales
to that customer
-10-
could harm our business, financial condition and results of operations.
Sales to Whirlpool Corporation accounted for 17.4% of our net sales in 2006. A significant
reduction in Whirlpools volume, or the loss of Whirlpool as a customer, could have a material
adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
Our acquisitions carry risks.
Acquisitions and investments involve numerous risks such as diversion of senior managements
attention, unsuccessful integration of the acquired entitys personnel, operations, technologies
and products, lack of market acceptance of new services and technologies or a shift in industry
dynamics that negatively impacts the forecasted demand for the new products. Impairment of goodwill
and other intangible assets may result if these risks materialize. There can be no assurance that
an acquired business will perform as expected or generate significant net sales or profits. In
addition, acquisitions may involve the assumption of obligations or significant one-time
write-offs. In order to finance any future acquisitions, we may need to raise additional funds
through public or private financings.
Our business may suffer if any of our key senior executives discontinues employment with us or if
we are unable to recruit and retain highly qualified employees.
Our future success depends to a large extent on the services of our key managerial employees.
We may not be able to retain our executive officers and key personnel or attract additional
qualified management in the future. Our business also depends on our continuing ability to recruit,
train and retain highly qualified employees. The competition for these employees is intense, and
the loss of these employees could harm our business.
Our intellectual property rights may be inadequate to protect our business.
We attempt to protect our intellectual property rights through a combination of intellectual
property laws, including patents. Our failure to obtain or maintain adequate protection of our
intellectual property rights for any reason could have a material adverse effect on our business,
results of operations and financial condition.
We also rely on unpatented proprietary technology. It is possible that others will
independently develop the same or similar technology or otherwise obtain access to our unpatented
technology. If we are unable to maintain the proprietary nature of our technologies, we could be
materially adversely affected.
We rely on our trademarks, trade names and brand names to distinguish our products from the
products of our competitors, and have registered or applied to register many of these trademarks. There can be
no assurance that our trademark applications will be approved. Third parties may also oppose our
trademark applications, or otherwise challenge our use of the trademarks. In the event that our
trademarks are successfully challenged, we could be forced to rebrand our products, which could
result in loss of brand recognition, and could require us to devote resources to advertising and
marketing new brands. Further, we cannot be assured that competitors will not infringe our
trademarks, or that we will have adequate resources to enforce our trademarks.
If third parties claim that we infringe upon their intellectual property rights, our operating
profits could be adversely affected.
We face the risk of claims that we have infringed third parties intellectual property rights.
Any claims of patent or other intellectual property infringement, even those without merit, could:
|
|
|
be expensive and time consuming to defend; |
|
|
|
|
cause us to cease making, licensing or using products that incorporate the challenged intellectual property; |
|
|
|
|
require us to redesign, reengineer, or rebrand our products, if feasible; |
|
|
|
|
divert managements attention and resources; or |
|
|
|
|
require us to enter into royalty or licensing agreements in order to obtain the
right to use a third partys intellectual property. |
Any royalty or licensing agreements, if required, may not be available to us on acceptable
terms or at all. A successful claim of infringement against us could result in our being required
to pay significant damages, enter into costly license or royalty agreements, or stop the sale of
certain products, any of which could have a negative impact on our operating profits and harm our
future prospects.
-11-
If our products infringe on the intellectual property rights of others, we may be required to
indemnify our customers for any damages they suffer.
We generally indemnify our customers with respect to infringement by our products of the
proprietary rights of third parties. Third parties may assert infringement claims against our
customers. These claims may require us to initiate or defend protracted and costly litigation on
behalf of our customers, regardless of the merits of these claims. If any of these claims succeed,
we may be forced to pay damages on behalf of our customers or may be required to obtain licenses
for the products they use. If we cannot obtain all necessary licenses on commercially reasonable
terms, our customers may be forced to stop using our products.
Environmental, health and safety matters could require material expenditures and changes in our
operations.
We are subject to various environmental, health and safety laws and regulations which govern
our operations and which may adversely affect our production costs. Actions by federal, state and
local governments concerning environmental, health and safety matters could result in laws or
regulations that could increase the cost of producing the products we manufacture or otherwise
adversely affect the demand for our products. Certain local governments have adopted ordinances
prohibiting or restricting the use or disposal of certain plastic products that are among the types
we produce. If such prohibitions or restrictions were widely adopted, it could have a material
adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. In addition, a
decline in consumer preference for plastic products due to environmental considerations could have
a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
In addition, certain of our operations are subject to federal, state and local environmental
laws and regulations that impose limitations on the discharge of pollutants into the air and water
and establish standards for the treatment, storage and disposal of solid and hazardous wastes.
Non-compliance could subject us to material liabilities, such as fines, damages, criminal or civil
sanctions and remediation costs, or result in interruptions in our operations. We believe our
operations are currently in substantial compliance with these laws and regulations. However, there
can be no assurance that we have been or will be at all times in compliance with all of these
requirements and that the resolution of these environmental matters will not have an adverse effect
on our results of operations, financial condition and cash flows in any given period.
Under certain environmental laws, liability for the cleanup of contaminated sites can be
imposed retroactively and on a joint and several basis. We could be held responsible for all
cleanup costs at a site, whether currently or formerly owned or operated as well as third party
sites to which we may have sent waste, and regardless of fault or the legality of the original
disposal. While we are not currently aware of contaminated or Superfund sites as to which material
outstanding claims or obligations exist, there may be additional sites or contaminants of which we
are unaware. The discovery of currently unknown contaminants or the imposition of cleanup
obligations could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations or financial
condition.
Environmental laws and regulations are complex, and both the laws and regulations and the
interpretation thereof, change frequently and have tended to become more stringent over time.
Future developments could restrict or eliminate the use of, or require us to make modifications to
our products, which could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations, financial
condition and cash flows in any given period. Although we cannot predict with any certainty our
future capital expenditure requirements for environmental regulatory compliance, we have not
currently identified any of our facilities as requiring major expenditures for environmental
remediation or to achieve compliance with environmental regulations. Accordingly, we have not
accrued any amounts relating to such expenditures. We do not currently have any insurance coverage
for environmental liabilities and do not anticipate obtaining such coverage in the future.
Our major shareholder has significant influence over our business and could delay, deter or prevent
a change of control or other business combination.
As of December 31, 2006, Earl Powell, our Chairman of the Board, holds approximately 49.5% of
our voting power, and is able to exert significant control over our affairs, including the election
of a majority of our board, the appointment of our management, the entering into of mergers, sales
of substantially all of our assets and other extraordinary transactions. His interests could
conflict with those of our other shareholders.
We face significant exposure to difficulties in the housing sector.
Approximately 40% of our sales are to sectors either directly or indirectly tied to the
housing and remodeling markets. Products that we produce that are impacted by the economic health
of the housing sector include injection molding appliance parts, carpet films, foam lamination
films, building panels for siding applications, extruded components for windows and doors, and
extruded accessories for the siding industry. The present downturn in the housing sector has
-12-
negatively affected us, and a sustained downturn in this sector could have a material adverse
effect on our business and results of operations.
We have identified a material weakness in the financial statement close and reporting process.
Our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that, as of December 31,
2006, our disclosure controls and procedures were ineffective, due to the identification of a
material weakness in the financial statement close and reporting process. This material weakness
related to: our lack of comprehensive documentation of accounting policies and procedures, our
inaccurate preparation and lack of review of reconciliations of certain significant account
balances on a timely basis, and our lack of segregation of duties. Failure to adequately remediate
this material weakness could result in a material misstatement of the annual or interim
consolidated financial statements.
We may be unable to maintain our listing on the NASDAQ Global Market. Failure to maintain our
listing could adversely affect our stock price, and the liquidity of our common stock would be
seriously limited.
Our common stock is currently traded on the NASDAQ Global Market. To continue to be listed on
the NASDAQ Global Market, our stock must maintain a minimum market value as defined. Presently, we
do not comply with this requirement. Our stock may be delisted from NASDAQ unless compliance is
achieved, or the company is able to transfer our listing to the NASDAQ Capital Market by June 21,
2007. If our common stock is delisted from NASDAQ, it could reduce the liquidity of our common
stock, decrease the market price of our common stock and negatively impact our ability to obtain
additional capital.

MANAGEMENTS DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS |
Overview
We are a leading U.S. manufacturer of high quality specialty plastic films and custom
molded and extruded plastic products used for storage and transportation, food service, appliance,
automotive, commercial and consumer applications. We currently operate 15 manufacturing facilities,
and we believe we are a low cost producer in many of our product lines. We operate through three
operating business segments: Plastic Films, Injection Molding and Profile Extrusion.
Plastic Films, which accounted for approximately 64% of our net sales in 2006, is a leading
manufacturer of specialty plastic films. Plastic Films is comprised of three operating divisions:
Stretch Films, Custom Films and Institutional Products. Stretch Films produces high quality,
multilayer plastic films that are used to cover, package and protect products for storage and
transportation applications. We believe we are one of the largest producers of stretch films in the
United States. Custom Films produces customized monolayer and multilayer specialty plastic films
used as a substrate in multilayer laminates in foam padding for carpet, automotive and medical
applications, and as industrial and protective packaging. Institutional Products converts custom
films into disposable products such as table covers, gloves and aprons, which are used primarily in
institutional food service.
Injection Molding, which accounted for approximately 28% of our net sales in 2006, is a
leading manufacturer of both custom and proprietary injection molded products. Injection Molding
produces a number of custom injection molded components that are sold primarily to original
equipment manufacturers in the home appliance, automotive parts, recreational vehicle and
construction industries. Injection Molding also manufactures a line of proprietary plastic cedar
shake siding panels for the home building industry and residential replacement market under the
CedarwayÒ trade name.
Profile Extrusion, which accounted for approximately 8% of our net sales in 2006, is a
manufacturer of custom extruded plastic products, primarily for use in consumer and commercial
products, including recreational vehicles, mobile homes, residential doors and windows, office
furniture and appliances. We believe we are one of the leading manufacturers of custom extruded
plastic products for recreational vehicles.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
Our discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations is based
upon our consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States. Note 1 to our consolidated financial statements
describes the significant accounting policies and methods used in the preparation of these
financial statements. The preparation of these financial statements also requires management to
make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and
expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. On an ongoing basis, our
management evaluates these estimates, including those related to revenue recognition, intangible
assets, reserves for excess, obsolete or unsaleable inventory, sales returns and allowances, bad
debts and contingencies. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other
assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form
the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not
readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ materially from these estimates
under different assumptions or conditions.
We believe the following critical accounting policies affect the more significant judgments
and estimates used in the preparation of our consolidated financial statements.
Revenue recognition and accounts receivable: We recognize revenue upon shipment of our products to
customers, giving consideration to product shipping terms. Receivables are currently due from
customers based on negotiated payment terms. Our allowance for doubtful accounts is recorded based
on specific review and analysis of customer account balances and historical trends. An allowance
for sales returns is recorded based on managements estimate of product returns, primarily based on
historical trends. We perform ongoing credit assessments of our customers and adjust credit limits
based upon payment history, the customers current credit worthiness and any other relevant
customer specific credit information. While historical credit losses have been within our
expectations and assumptions from which the provisions established are not anticipated to change in
the future, it is possible that future credit losses could be higher or lower.
Inventories: Inventories are stated at the lower of cost (first-in, first-out) or market. Cost
includes materials, labor and overhead. Market, with respect to all inventories, is the lower of
replacement cost or net realizable value. Management periodically reviews inventory to determine
the necessity of reserves for excess, obsolete or unsaleable inventory. These reviews require
management
-18-
to assess customer and market demand. These estimates may differ from actual results, in
which case we may have overstated or understated the reserve required for excess, obsolete or
unsaleable inventory.
Goodwill: We review goodwill and identifiable intangible assets for indications of impairment on an
annual basis or on an interim basis if an event occurs that might reduce the fair value of the
goodwill or identifiable intangible assets below their carrying value in accordance with Statement
of Financial Accounting Standards No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets (SFAS 142).
Although we currently believe that the estimates of each reporting units fair value used in the
evaluation of goodwill are reasonable, differences between actual and expected net sales, operating
results, and cash flow could indicate these assets to be deemed impaired. If the carrying amount
exceeds its fair market value, the potential for impairment exists, and we would be required to
quantify and charge to earnings the write-down in value of such assets in accordance with SFAS 142.
An impairment of goodwill could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations and
financial position.
Specifically, we have goodwill, which represents the excess of the purchase price over the
fair value of identifiable assets and liabilities of acquired businesses, of $54.6 million (net of
accumulated amortization of $22.5 million) at December 31, 2006 and 2005. Based upon our analysis,
we have determined there are no indicators of an impairment of goodwill as of December 31, 2006.
Self-Insurance: We are self-insured for the majority of our group health insurance costs, subject
to specific retention levels. Our reserve for health insurance claims incurred but not paid is
based on historical claims information. In addition, we are self-insured for the majority of our
workers compensation costs. We establish reserves for workers compensation claims utilizing
insurance industry loss development factors, as well as specific estimates of settlement costs for
individual claims. While we believe that our assumptions are appropriate and historical losses have
been within our expectations and the provisions established, significant differences in actual
experience or significant changes in assumptions could occur and have a material effect on our
group health insurance and workers compensation costs.

Comparison of Years Ended December 31, 2006 and 2005
Net Sales
Net sales decreased to $418.7 million overall in 2006, compared with $424.3 million in
2005, a 1% decline. Net sales for our Plastic Films segment decreased to $266.9 million in 2006,
compared with $273.0 million in 2005, a 2% decline. This decrease was primarily the result of a 10%
volume reduction offset by an 8% increase in average selling prices. Net sales for our Injection
Molding segment increased to $118.9 million in 2006, compared with $116.1 million in 2005, a 2%
increase. This increase was primarily the result of increases in average selling prices resulting
from higher raw material costs. Net sales for our Profile Extrusion segment decreased to $32.9
million in 2006, compared with $35.3 million in 2005, a 7% decline. This decrease was primarily the
result of continued weakness in the nations recreational vehicle and housing sectors.
Gross Profit
In our Films segment, gross profit, as a percentage of net sales for 2006, declined to
11%, compared with 15% for 2005. This decrease was primarily the result of a 10% decrease in
volume shipped with no offsetting reduction in the underlying direct cost base. In our Injection
Molding segment, gross margin decreased to 13% in 2006 compared with 16% in 2005. This decrease was
primarily the result of increasing raw material costs and margin reduction in our building products
business. Our Profile Extrusion segments gross margin decreased to 7% in 2006 from 19% in 2005.
This decrease was primarily the result of a significant weakness in the recreational vehicle sector
and manufacturing inefficiencies in our Elkhart, Indiana facilities.
Selling, General and Administrative Expense
Our selling, general and administrative (SG&A) expense decreased to $33.7 million in
2006, including severance charges of $1.2 million, compared with $36.1 million in 2005. This
decrease was primarily the result of lower incentive compensation costs. Additionally, 2005 was
negatively impacted by $0.5 million of non-cash compensation expense related to the cancellation of
stock options and $0.6 million of cash costs associated with a financing effort that was not
consummated. SG&A expenses as a percentage of net sales decreased slightly to 8% compared to 9%
for 2005.
Net Interest Expense and Income Taxes
Interest expense, net of interest income, increased to $20.2 million in 2006, compared
with $18.8 million in 2005. This increase resulted from higher average borrowings and higher
average interest rates on borrowings Additionally, net interest expense for 2005 includes a $3.8
million non-cash write-off of unamortized deferred financing costs on previously existing senior
debt. See Liquidity and Capital Resources and Note 6 Long-term debt.
Our
2006 and 2005 effective income tax rate was 35% in both years. The
2006 and 2005 effective income tax rate differed from the applicable
federal statutory rate primarily due to the effect of state income
taxes. In addition, in 2005, we benefited from the enactment of the
American Jobs Creation Act of 2004 that added the domestic production
activities deduction, a tax benefit for certain domestic production
activities.
(Loss) Income
As a result of the factors described above, operating income decreased to $13.7 million,
or 3% of net sales, in 2006, compared with $29.1 million, or 7% of net sales, in 2005. Net (loss)
income and (loss) earnings per share amounts were as follows:

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

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
At December 31, 2006, we had $206.8 million of outstanding indebtedness, $0.1 million of
cash and cash equivalents and an additional $7.5 million of unused availability under the credit
facility in place, net of outstanding letters of credit of approximately $3.6 million and a minimum
availability requirement under our credit facilities of $3.0 million, under our $220.0 million
secured financing credit facility entered into on March 22, 2005. As of March 28, 2007, we had
$11.6 of unused availability under the credit facility, net of outstanding letters of credit of
approximately $5.1 and a minimum availability requirement of $3.0 million. The credit facility
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. Our principal needs
for liquidity, on both short and long-term basis, relate to working capital (principally accounts
receivable and inventories), debt service, and capital expenditures. Our working capital, defined
as current assets less current liabilities, at December 31, 2006 totaled $61.3 million (including
cash and cash equivalents of $0.1 million), compared with $57.8 million (including cash and cash
equivalents of $0.2 million) at December 31, 2005.
Proceeds from our current credit 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 include a covenant requiring us to maintain availability under our credit
facilities of at least $3.0 million. In December 2006, we amended our senior secured term loan and
revolving credit facility agreement to modify certain financial covenant ratios and applicable
margins, restrict certain expenditures, and increase the percentage of excess cash flow (as
defined in the Credit Agreement) we are required to use to prepay loans under the Credit Agreement.
In October 2006, we amended our junior secured term loan agreement to waive September 30, 2006
financial covenants, increase the applicable borrowing spreads, amend certain financial covenant
ratios, and restrict certain expenditures.
In preparing our consolidated financial statements, we considered our ability to continue as a
going concern due to declines in current year results of operations, cash flows, and availability
under our revolving credit facility. As of December 31, 2006, we were in compliance with our debt
covenants stipulated in our Credit Agreement and our projections indicate that we will remain in
compliance with out covenants throughout 2007. In addition, our 2007 projections indicate
increased availability under our revolving credit facility as a result of increases in cash flows
from operations and our ability to minimize our capital expenditures to maintain our operations.
Based on our overall 2007 projections, we believe that our cash flows from operations, combined
with our availability under our revolving credit facility are sufficient to continue to fund our
working capital, capital expenditures and debt service needs.
Our high debt level and our debt covenants present substantial risks and could have negative
consequences. For example, they 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, subsidiaries or securities. There can be no assurance that any of these sources of funds
would be available in amounts sufficient for us to meet our obligations or on terms acceptable to
us and our shareholders. Moreover, even if we were able to meet our obligations, our highly
-22-
leveraged capital structure could significantly limit our ability to finance any expansion
program and other capital expenditures, to compete effectively, or to operate successfully under
adverse economic conditions.
Capital expenditures were $12.0 million compared with $17.4 million for the years ended
December 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively. We expect that our capital expenditures will aggregate
to approximately $8.0 million in fiscal year 2007.
Cash Flows from Operating Activities
Net cash provided by operating activities was approximately $2.9 million in 2006,
compared with $9.3 million in 2005. The difference between our net loss in 2006 of ($4.1) million
and our $2.9 million operating cash flow was attributable to approximately $12.7 million of
depreciation and amortization expense and reductions in accounts receivable, inventories and other
current assets of $8.1 million, $4.7 and $1.0 million, respectively, as well as $0.7 million in
loan fee and other amortization and $0.4 million in share-based compensation expense. This was
offset by a $17.3 million reduction in accounts payable and accrued expenses, $1.1 million in
deferred income taxes, $1.1 million in amortization of a gain realized on a swap redemption, and
$1.0 million in other assets and liabilities. The difference between our net income in 2005 of
$6.7 million and our $9.3 million operating cash flow was primarily attributable to approximately
$17.3 million of depreciation and amortization expense (including a $3.8 million write-off of
deferred financing costs related to our old credit facility), offset by a $11.1 million increase in
accounts receivable, resulting from higher sales, and a $3.5 million increase in inventories,
primarily resulting from higher resin prices and a larger level of finished goods inventory.
Cash Flows from Investing Activities
Net cash used for investing activities totaled $12.0 million for 2006 compared with $17.4
million for 2005, which included capacity expansion programs in Stretch Films and Injection
Molding. Net cash used for investing activities in 2006 and 2005 related to the support,
development and enhancement of new and existing products, as well as facility upgrades and
expansions.
We expect that our capital expenditures will aggregate to approximately $8.0 million in fiscal
2007. This amount is comprised of approximately $3.0 million to fund expansion and $5.0 million for
maintenance capital expenditures.
Cash Flows from Financing Activities
Net
cash provided by financing activities was $9.0 million in 2006, compared with $8.2
million in 2005. Net cash provided by financing activities in 2006 reflects net borrowings of $9.6
million under our credit facilities and proceeds from the swap redemption of $3.4 million offset by
financing costs associated with our existing credit agreements of $1.8 million, repayments under
the term loan of $1.5 million, repayments on bonds of $0.5 million and an employee loan of $275
thousand. Net cash provided by financing activities in 2005 reflects proceeds of $195.0 million
from our current credit facilities, an income tax benefit of $3.7 million relating to the option
exercises and cancellations, net proceeds of $3.5 million from bonds issued, proceeds from the
exercise of stock options of $2.5 million, and repayments of notes receivable from shareholders of
$0.5 million. This was offset by payment of a $103.2 million special dividend, total repayments of
term loans of $71.2 million, net repayments of $15.9 million under our senior credit facilities,
and payment of $6.8 million of deferred financing costs associated with the current credit facility
and a financing effort that was not consummated.
The following table summarizes our significant contractual obligations as of December 31,
2006, and the effect such obligations are expected to have on our liquidity and cash flows in
future periods (in thousands):

Subsequent Events
On January 29, 2007, we filed a Current Report on Form 8-K indicating that we would close
down the Warren, Ohio facility, a facility in the Injection Molding segment, on January 29, 2007,
and transfer the majority of the assets and business to other facilities. We expect to incur
between $1.5 million and $2.0 million in total costs associated with this plant closure. The book
value of our owned Warren, Ohio facility is approximately $1.3 million. We expect to record
accelerated depreciation of this asset in the first half of 2007 in a range between $0.7 million
and $0.9 million. We expect to record contract termination costs of approximately $0.1 million for
the remaining lease payments on a 25,000 square foot warehouse lease that expires on January 31,
2009. In connection with the shutdown of the Warren, Ohio facility, we expect to incur severance
costs of up to $0.1 million for the severance of 35 employees, which will be substantially paid in
cash during the first half of 2007. In addition, we expect to incur an aggregate of up to between
$0.6 million and $0.9 million in the first half of 2007 for expenses of moving inventory and
equipment, employee relocation, and costs associated with transitioning customer deliveries in a
manner designed to avoid disruptions in customer orders. These costs will be paid in cash and
charged to expense in the period in which they are incurred.
In February 2007, we issued $4.1 million of industrial development bonds used to finance the
installation of a new 7-layer W&H blown film line at our Mankato, Minnesota facility. The bonds
are secured by the new equipment and are payable in equal monthly installments of approximately
$67,000 beginning in March 2007 through February 2013. Interest accrues on the bonds at 5.39% per
annum.
On March 23, 2007, we received notification from NASDAQ that for the last 30 consecutive
trading days, our Class A Common Stock has not maintained a minimum market value of publicly held
shares (MVPHS) of $15,000,000 as required for continued inclusion on NASDAQ by Marketplace Rule
4450(b)(3) (the Rule). Therefore, in accordance with Marketplace Rule 4450(e)(1), we will be
provided 90 calendar days, or until June 21, 2007, to regain compliance. If, at anytime before
June 21, 2007, the MVPHS of our Class A Common Stock is $15,000,000 or more for 10 consecutive
trading days, NASDAQ will provide written notification that we have achieved compliance with the
Rule. If compliance with this Rule cannot be demonstrated by June 21, 2007, NASDAQ will provide
written notification that our securities will be delisted.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In June 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued FIN 48, Accounting
for Uncertainty in Income Taxes an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109 (FIN 48). FIN 48
clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an enterprises financial
statements in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109, Accounting for
Income Taxes. FIN 48 prescribes a recognition and measurement threshold for an enterprise to
report tax positions in their financial statements. Under FIN 48 an enterprise must also make
extensive disclosures about tax positions that do not qualify for financial statement recognition.
The evaluation of a tax position in accordance with FIN 48 is a two-step process. The first
step is recognition: the enterprise determines whether it is more likely than not likely that a tax
position will be sustained upon examination. The second step is measurement: a tax position that
meets the more-likely-than-not recognition threshold is measured to determine the amount of expense
or benefit to recognize in the financial statements. FIN 48 is effective for fiscal years
beginning December 15, 2006. We are evaluating FIN 48 and currently unable to estimate the effect
of adoption on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
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 adoption of SAB 108 did not have a material impact on our 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 our 2008 fiscal year. We are currently evaluating the impact of adopting SFAS 157 on
our consolidated financial statements.
In February 2007, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 159 (SFAS
159), The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities Including an
Amendment of FASB Statement No. 115. SFAS No. 159 permits, but does not require, companies to
report at fair value the majority of recognized financial assets, financial
-24-
liabilities and firm commitments. Under this standard, unrealized gains and losses on items for which the fair value
option is elected are reported in earnings at each subsequent reporting date. We are currently
assessing the effect SFAS No. 159 may have, if any, on our consolidated financial statements when
it becomes effective on January 1, 2008.

ITEM 7A. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
We are exposed to market risks that may impact our financial condition and financial
results due to changing interest rates and foreign exchange rates. The following discussion
provides additional information regarding our market risks.
Interest Rate Risk: As of December 31, 2006, the Company had $206.8 million in outstanding
debt, a portion of which the interest rate varies based on changes in the Prime Rate or London
Inter-bank Offered Rate. The Company uses interest rate swap agreements to manage its exposure of
interest rate changes on the Companys variable rate debt. As of December 31, 2006, the Company
had an interest rate swap in place with a notional amount of $125.0 million to effectively fix the
interest rate at 5.265%, resulting in total variable-rate debt of $81.8 million outstanding at
December 31, 2006. As of December 31, 2005, the Company had $199.2 million in outstanding debt.
As of December 31, 2005, the Company had an interest rate swap in place with a notional amount of
$125.0 million to effectively fix the interest rate at 3.865%, resulting in total variable-rate
debt of $74.2 million at December 31, 2005. Based on the Companys variable-rate obligations
outstanding at December 31, 2006, and December 31, 2005, each 25 basis point increase or decrease
in the level of interest rates would, respectively, increase or decrease annual interest expense
and related cash payments by approximately $0.2 million in both years. Such potential increases or
decreases are based on certain simplifying assumptions, including a constant level of variable-rate
debt for all maturities and an immediate, across-the-board increase or decrease in the level of
interest rates with no other subsequent changes for the remainder of the period.
Foreign Exchange Rate Risk: We have a Canadian dollar bank account and therefore are exposed
to foreign exchange currency market risk. We have determined this risk to be immaterial at December
31, 2006 based on the balance maintained in that account and the overall level of our Canadian
operations.

MANAGEMENTS RESPONSIBILITY FOR FINANCIAL REPORTING
The Companys management is responsible for the preparation of the accompanying
consolidated financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in
the United States and for the integrity of all the financial data included in this Form 10-K. In
preparing the consolidated financial statements, management makes informed judgments and estimates
of the expected effects of events and transactions that are currently being reported.
Management maintains a system of internal accounting controls that is designed to provide
reasonable assurance that assets are safeguarded and that transactions are executed and recorded in
accordance with managements policies for conducting its business. This system includes policies
that require adherence to ethical business standards and compliance with all laws to which the
Company is subject. The internal control process is continuously monitored by direct management
review.
The Board of Directors, through its Audit Committee, is responsible for determining that
management fulfills its responsibility with respect to the Companys consolidated financial
statements and the system of internal accounting controls.
The Audit Committee, comprised solely of directors who (1) all have significant accounting or
financial expertise, and (2) are not officers or employees of the Company, meets periodically with
representatives of management and the Companys independent auditors to review and monitor the
financial, accounting, and auditing procedures of the Company in addition to reviewing the
Companys financial reports. The Companys independent auditors have full and free access to the
Audit Committee.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
The Board of Directors and Shareholders of Atlantis Plastics, Inc.
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Atlantis Plastics, Inc. as of
December 31, 2006 and 2005, and the related consolidated statements of operations, shareholders
(deficit) equity, and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2006.
Our audits also included the financial statement schedule listed in the Index at Item 15(a). These
financial statements and schedule are the responsibility of the Companys management. Our
responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and schedule based on our
audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight
Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. We
were not engaged to perform an audit of the Companys internal control over financial reporting.
Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for
designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of
expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Companys internal control over financial
reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test
basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the
accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall
financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our
opinion.
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all
material respects, the consolidated financial position of Atlantis Plastics, Inc. at December 31,
2006 and 2005, and the consolidated results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the
three years in the period ended December 31, 2006, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted
accounting principles. Also, in our opinion, the related financial statement schedule, when
considered in relation to the basic consolidated financial statements taken as a whole, presents
fairly in all material respects the information set forth therein.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Note 1. Nature of Business and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Atlantis Plastics, Inc. (Atlantis or the Company) through its wholly owned
subsidiaries is a leading U.S. manufacturer of polyethylene stretch and custom films used in a
variety of industrial and consumer applications, and molded plastic products for the appliance,
automotive, recreational vehicle and building supply industries. The Companys operations are
reported as three segments: Plastic Films, Injection Molding, and Profile Extrusion.
Plastic Films manufactures stretch films, which are monolayer or multilayer plastic films used
principally to wrap pallets of industrial and commercial goods for shipping or storage, custom film
products that include high-grade laminating films and embossed films, and specialty films which
serve the furniture, carpeting, textile, lamination, medical, beauty aids, manufacturing, and food
packaging industries. Plastic Films also produces disposable consumer and institutional plastic
products to the food service, party supply, and school and collegiate markets.
Injection Molding manufactures a number of custom injection molded thermoplastic components
that are sold primarily to original equipment manufacturers in the home appliance, automotive
parts, recreational vehicle and construction industries. Injection Molding also manufactures a
line of proprietary injection molded siding panels for the home building industry and the
residential replacement market.
Profile Extrusion manufactures custom extruded plastic products, primarily for use in consumer
and commercial products including recreational vehicles, mobile homes, residential doors and
windows, office furniture, and appliances.
The following is a summary of the Companys significant accounting policies:
Basis of presentation: The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Atlantis and
its subsidiaries and certain assets and liabilities held in a Rabbi Trust related to an employee
supplemental benefit plan. All material intercompany balances and transactions have been
eliminated.
Cash and cash equivalents: The Company classifies as cash and cash equivalents all highly liquid
investments that present insignificant risk of changes in value and have maturities at the date of
purchase of three months or less. The Company maintains its cash in bank deposit accounts that, at
times, may exceed federally insured limits. The Company has not experienced any losses in such
accounts.
Revenue recognition and accounts receivable: The Company recognizes revenue upon shipment of its
products to customers, giving consideration to product shipping terms. Receivables are currently
due from customers based on negotiated payment terms. The allowance for doubtful accounts is
recorded based on specific review and analysis of customer past-due account balances based on
contractual terms and historical trends. The allowance for sales returns is recorded based on
managements estimate of product returns, primarily based on historical trends. The Company
performs ongoing credit assessments of its customers and adjusts credit limits based upon payment
history, the customers current credit worthiness and any other relevant customer specific credit
information. The Company provides for doubtful accounts based on historical experience and when
current market conditions indicate that collection of an account is doubtful. Accounts receivable
are charged off against the allowance for doubtful accounts when it is probable that the receivable
will not be recovered.
Inventories: Inventories are stated at the lower of cost (first-in, first-out) or market. Cost
includes materials, labor and overhead. Market, with respect to all inventories, is the lower of
replacement cost or net realizable value. Management periodically reviews inventory to determine
the necessity of reserves for excess, obsolete or unsaleable inventory.
Goodwill: The Company reviews goodwill and identifiable intangible assets for indications of
impairment on an annual basis or on an interim basis if an event occurs that might reduce the fair
value of the goodwill or identifiable intangible assets below their carrying value in accordance
with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets
(SFAS 142). Although we currently believe that the estimates of each reporting units fair value
used in the evaluation of goodwill are reasonable, differences between actual and expected net
sales, operating results, and cash flow
See accompanying notes.
-34-
could indicate these assets to be deemed impaired. If the
carrying amount exceeds its fair market value, the potential for
impairment exists, and we would be required to quantify and charge to earnings the write-down in
value of such assets in accordance with SFAS 142. An impairment of goodwill could have a material
adverse effect on our results of operations and financial position.
Specifically, the Company has goodwill in excess of the purchase price over the fair value of
identifiable assets and liabilities of acquired businesses of $54.6 million as of December 31, 2006
and 2005. These amounts are net of accumulated amortization of $22.5 million at both December 31,
2006 and 2005. Based upon its analysis, management has determined there are no indicators of
impairment of goodwill as of December 31, 2006 in accordance with SFAS 142.
The carrying amounts of goodwill as recorded at each of the Companys segments for the years
ended December 31, 2006 and 2005 are summarized as follows (in millions):

|
Self-insurance: The Company is self-insured for the majority of its group health insurance costs,
subject to specific retention levels. The reserve for health insurance claims incurred but not paid
is based on historical claims information. Additionally, the Company is self-insured for the
majority of its workers compensation costs. The Company establishes reserves for workers
compensation claims utilizing insurance industry loss development factors, as well as specific
estimates of settlement costs for individual claims.
Property and equipment: Property and equipment are carried at cost less accumulated depreciation.
Depreciation has been computed using the straight-line method based on the estimated useful lives
of the respective assets. Such useful lives generally fall within the following ranges: buildings
and improvements 15 to 40 years; office furniture and equipment 5 to 10 years; manufacturing
equipment 5 to 11 years; vehicles 3 to 8 years; and computer hardware and software 3 to 5
years.
Property and equipment are evaluated for impairment whenever events or changes in
circumstances indicate that the carrying amounts of such assets may not be recoverable.
Recoverability estimates are based on the projected future cash flows expected to result from the
use of the assets. An impairment loss is measured as the amount by which the carrying amount of the
assets exceeds the fair value. The Company evaluated property and equipment for impairment and
noted no write-down of property and equipment was necessary as of December 31, 2006.
When assets are retired or otherwise disposed of, the costs and accumulated depreciation are
removed from the respective accounts and any related gain or loss is recognized. Maintenance and
repair costs are charged to expense as incurred. Additions and improvements are capitalized when
incurred.
Earnings per share: Earnings per share have been computed in accordance with Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards No. 128, Earnings Per Share (SFAS 128), which requires disclosure of basic
and diluted earnings per share. Basic earnings per share exclude any dilutive effects of options,
shares subject to repurchase, warrants, and convertible securities. Diluted earnings per share
include the impact of potentially dilutive securities. See Note 10 (Loss) earnings Per Share.
Share-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
statements of operations 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 consolidated statements of operations based on their fair
-35-
values and no longer allows pro forma disclosure as an alternative. The Company adopted this statement based on the
modified prospective method, in which compensation cost is recognized beginning with the
effective date (a) based on the requirements of SFAS 123R for all share-based payments granted after the effective date and (b)
based on the requirements of SFAS 123R for all awards granted to employees prior to the effective
date of SFAS 123R that remain unvested on the effective date. As the Company elected not to
restate prior periods presented, the Company has provided the pro forma disclosures of the effect
on net income and earnings per share for the year ended December 31, 2004, as if the Company had
accounted for its employee stock options granted under the fair value method of SFAS 123.
The adoption of SFAS 123R resulted in unrecognized compensation cost of approximately $461,000
as of January 1, 2005 related to unvested stock options based on their fair values as calculated
using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. Recognition of such compensation to expense was
$53,000 for the period prior to the Companys agreement to cancel all outstanding stock options
(discussed below), which resulted in expensing the remaining unrecognized compensation of $408,000.
As a result of adopting SFAS 123R, the Companys income before income taxes and net income for the
year ended December 31, 2005 were $461,000 and $299,000 lower, respectively, than if it had
continued to account for the share-based compensation under APB 25. Both basic and diluted
earnings per share for the year ended December 31, 2005 would have been $0.85, if the Company had
not adopted SFAS 123R, compared with reported basic and diluted earnings per share of $0.82 and
$0.81, respectively. Prior to the adoption of SFAS 123R, the Company presented all tax benefits
resulting from the exercise of stock options as operating cash flows in the Statement of Cash
Flows. SFAS 123R requires that these cash flows now be classified as financing cash flows rather
than operating cash flows. Thus, the $3.7 million tax benefit from the exercise of stock options
classified as a financing cash inflow would have been classified as an operating cash inflow if the
Company had not adopted SFAS 123R.
During 2006, the Company granted stock options to certain key employees and directors. As of
December 31, 2006, there was approximately $1.4 million of unrecognized compensation cost related
to nonvested share-based compensation arrangements granted under our stock option plans. We expect
to amortize this cost over a remaining weighted average period of 4.0 years. The cost does not
include the impact of any future share-based compensation awards.
The Black-Scholes option valuation model was developed for use in estimating the fair value of
options that have no vesting restrictions and are fully transferable. In addition, option valuation
models require the input of highly subjective assumptions. The fair value of the options granted
in 2006 were estimated using the following assumptions: dividend yield of 0%, volatility of 43.81%
to 45.00%, risk-free interest rates of 4.39% to 4.51%, expected life of 5.0 to 6.5 years, and
forfeiture rates of 0% to 4.81%. No options were granted during 2005 and 2004. Because the
Companys employee stock options have characteristics significantly different from those of traded
options and because changes in the subjective input assumptions can materially affect the fair
value estimate, in managements opinion, the existing models do not necessarily provide a reliable
single measure of the fair value of its employee stock options.
For purposes of pro forma disclosures, the estimated fair value of the options is amortized to
expense on a straight-line basis over the options vesting period. The Companys pro forma
information for the year ended December 31, 2004 is as follows (in thousands, except per share

Repair and maintenance expenses: Repair and maintenance expenses are expensed as incurred. Repair
and maintenance expenses for the years ended December 31, 2006, 2005 and 2004 were approximately
$9.2 million, $8.5 million and $7.0 million, respectively.
Advertising costs: The Company expenses all advertising costs as incurred. Advertising expenses
for the years ended December 31, 2006, 2005 and 2004 were $330.3 thousand, $108.6 thousand and
$103.8 thousand, respectively.
Shipping and handling costs: The Company records costs incurred for shipping and handling in cost
of sales.
Amortization: Loan acquisition costs and related legal fees are amortized over the respective terms
of the related debt agreements utilizing either: (i) the effective interest method, or (ii) the
straight-line method, when the results do not materially differ from the effective interest method.
Income taxes: The Company and its subsidiaries file a consolidated federal income tax return. The
Company provides for income taxes in accordance with the liability method, which requires the
recognition of deferred income tax assets and liabilities associated with the expected future tax
consequences of events that have been included in the financial statements. Under this method,
deferred income tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the difference between the
financial statements and tax basis of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates in effect for
the year in which the differences are expected to reverse.
Use of estimates: The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S.
generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that
affect: (i) the reported amounts of assets and liabilities; (ii) disclosure of contingent assets
and liabilities at the dates of the consolidated financial statements; and (iii) reported amounts
of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from those
estimates.
Reclassifications: Certain amounts included in prior period consolidated financial statements have
been reclassified to conform with the current year presentation.
Financial instruments: The fair value of current assets and current liabilities, including cash and
cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued liabilities approximates their
carrying values due to the short maturity of the instruments. The carrying amounts of the Companys
total indebtedness at December 31, 2006 and 2005 approximate their fair values as they bear
interest at variable market rates.
The Companys financial instruments that are exposed to concentrations of credit risk consist
primarily of cash and cash equivalents and accounts receivable. The Company places its cash and
cash equivalents with high quality institutions. The Companys three largest trade receivable
balances as of December 31, 2006 represented 35% of the Companys net accounts receivable, compared
with 30% as of December 31, 2005. At December 31, 2006, Whirlpool Corporations accounts receivable
balance was approximately $13.0 million, or 27% of the Companys total net trade accounts
receivable balance. At December 31, 2005, Whirlpool Corporations accounts receivable balance was
$10.7 million, or 20% of the Companys total net accounts receivable. Approximately 17%, 12% and
13% of the Companys net sales in the years ended December 31, 2006, 2005, and 2004, respectively,
were to Whirlpool Corporation. The Company generally does not require collateral from its customers
for trade accounts receivable.
Derivative instruments and hedging activities: All derivatives are recorded on the consolidated
balance 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
-37-
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 as part of interest expense 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.
Going Concern Consideration
In preparing the Companys consolidated financial statements, the Company considered its
ability to continue as a going concern due to declines in current year results of operations, cash
flows, and availability under our revolving credit facility. As of December 31, 2006, the Company
was in compliance with its debt covenants stipulated in its Credit Agreement and the Companys
projections indicate that it will remain in compliance with our covenants throughout 2007. In
addition, the Companys 2007 projections indicate increased availability under its revolving credit
facility as a result of increases in cash flows from operations and its ability to minimize its
capital expenditures to maintain its operations. Based on the Companys overall 2007 projections,
it believes that its cash flows from operations, combined with its availability under its revolving
credit facility, are sufficient to continue to fund its working capital, capital expenditures and
debt service needs.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In June 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued FIN 48,
Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109 (FIN
48). FIN 48 clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an
enterprises financial statements in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards
No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes. FIN 48 prescribes a recognition and measurement threshold
for an enterprise to report tax positions in their financial statements. Under FIN 48 an
enterprise must also make extensive disclosures about tax positions that do not qualify for
financial statement recognition.
The evaluation of a tax position in accordance with FIN 48 is a two-step process. The first
step is recognition: the enterprise determines whether it is more likely than not likely that a tax
position will be sustained upon examination. The second step is measurement: a tax position that
meets the more-likely-than-not recognition threshold is measured to determine the amount of expense
or benefit to recognize in the financial statements. FIN 48 is effective for fiscal years
beginning December 15, 2006. The Company is evaluating FIN 48 and is currently unable to estimate
the effect of adoption on the Companys financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
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 adoption of SAB 108 did not have a material impact on the Companys 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 its consolidated financial statements.
In February 2007, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 159 (SFAS
159), The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities Including an
Amendment of FASB Statement No. 115. SFAS No. 159 permits, but does not require, companies to
report at fair value the majority of recognized financial assets, financial liabilities and firm
commitments. Under this standard, unrealized gains and losses on items for which the fair value
option is elected are reported in earnings at each subsequent reporting date. The Company is
currently assessing the effect SFAS No. 159 may have, if any, on its consolidated financial
statements when it becomes effective on January 1, 2008.

Note 2. Acquisitions of Businesses and Assets
On November 9, 2004, Atlantis acquired the business and certain assets and also assumed
certain specific liabilities of LaVanture Plastic Extrusion Technologies, Inc., and Molded Designs
Technology, Inc., (collectively LaVanture). LaVanture manufactures profile extruded and
injection molded plastic products primarily for OEMs in the recreational vehicle industry. The
purchase price of $9.4 million was funded by borrowings in connection with an amendment to the
Companys then existing senior credit facility. The Company accounted for this acquisition as a
purchase in accordance with the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 141,
Business Combinations. The activities of LaVanture are included in the results of operations of
the Companys Injection Molding and Profile Extrusion segments since the date of acquisition. The
allocation of the purchase price resulted in tax deductible goodwill of approximately $4.2 million,
which represents the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of the net assets acquired.

On March 22, 2005, the Company entered into a new credit agreement (the Credit Agreement)
with a syndicate of financial institutions. The Credit Agreement consists of a $120.0 million
senior secured term loan (the Senior Term Loan), a $75.0 million junior secured term loan (the
Junior Term Loan) and a $25.0 million revolving credit facility (the Revolver) and is secured
by all of the Companys assets, including property, inventory and receivables. The Senior Term
Loan is payable in equal quarterly installments of $0.3 million beginning June 30, 2005 through
June 30, 2011, with a final payment of $112.5 million due on September 22, 2011. The Junior Term
Loan is due in its entirety on March 22, 2012. The Revolver matures in March 2011. The proceeds
of the Credit Agreement were used to repay the Companys previously existing senior secured debt of
$83.9 million outstanding on March 22, 2005 and to pay related fees and expenses. The remainder of
the proceeds was used to pay a $103.2 million special dividend to shareholders and $4.4 million to
holders of outstanding stock options in exchange for the cancellation of those options, both on
April 8, 2005.
In November 2005, the Company issued $3.5 million of industrial development bonds (the
Bonds) relating to the improvement and expansion of its Cartersville, Georgia manufacturing
plant. The Bonds are secured by the equipment for which the proceeds were used. The Bonds are
payable in equal monthly installments of $57,000 beginning in January 2006 through December 2011.
Interest accrues on the Bonds at 5.15% per annum.
The Company incurred deferred financing costs of approximately $5.9 million in connection with
the Credit Agreement and the issuance of the Bond. Unamortized financing costs are included in
other long-term assets in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets as of December 31, 2006 and
2005.
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
-41-
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
remaining life of the original swap. The Company expects to reclassify $1.7 million of the pretax
gain in OCI as of December 31, 2006, into earnings as a reduction of interest expense over the next
twelve months. 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 December 31,
2006 was a long-term liability of approximately $0.3 million, and the change in fair value was
recorded as part of other comprehensive loss, net of income taxes.
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 a covenant requiring the Company to maintain availability under the credit
facilities of at least $3.0 million. In December 2006, the Company amended its senior secured term
loan and revolving credit facility agreement to modify certain financial covenant ratios and
applicable margins, restrict certain Company expenditures, and increase the percentage of excess
cash flow (as defined in the Credit Agreement) we are required to use to prepay loans under the
Credit Agreement.
In October 2006, the Company amended its junior secured term loan agreement to waive September
30, 2006 financial covenants, increase the applicable borrowing spreads, amend certain financial
covenant ratios, and restrict certain Company expenditures.
The Company incurred deferred financing costs of approximately $1.8 million in connection with
the amendments of its senior secured term loan and revolving credit facility agreement and its
junior term loan agreement. Unamortized financing costs are included in other long-term assets in
the accompanying consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2006.
Interest accrues on borrowings under the amended Credit Agreement at the prime rate or the
London Inter-bank Offered Rate (LIBOR), plus an applicable margin, as defined. The applicable
margin ranges from 0.75% to 1.50% above the prime rate and 2.75% to 3.50% above LIBOR for both, the
Senior Term Loan and the Revolver. The applicable margin on the Junior Term Loan is 7.00% above
the prime rate and 9.00% above LIBOR. The interest rate (including the applicable margin) on the
Companys outstanding LIBOR-based Senior Term Loan at December 31, 2006 was 8.85%. The interest
rate (including the applicable margin) on the Companys outstanding LIBOR-based Junior Term Loan at
December 31, 2005 was 14.35%. The weighted average interest rate (including the applicable margin)
on the Revolver balance outstanding at December 31, 2006 was 9.17%. The amended Credit Agreement
contains certain restrictions and covenants relating, but not limited, to the maintenance of
financial ratios, dividend payments, asset disposals, acquisitions and capital expenditures.
Additionally, on an annual basis, the Company is required to make mandatory loan prepayments from
excess cash flow as defined in the amended Credit Agreement. Based on the calculation, the Company
was not required to make an excess cash flow payment for the year ended December 31, 2006.
As of December 31, 2006 and 2005, the Company had approximately $3.6 million and $1.6 million
respectively, in outstanding letters of credit provided by a financial institution. As of December
31, 2006, the Company had a minimum availability requirement under our credit facilities of $3.0
million and an additional $7.5 million of unused availability under its credit facilities.

Note 9. Stock Option Plans
The Companys Stock Option Plans (Option Plans) are designed to serve as an incentive
for retaining qualified and competent employees, directors, and agents. Options may be granted
under the Option Plans on such terms and at such
-44-
prices
as determined by the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors (consisting only of
outside directors); provided, however, that the exercise price of options granted under the Option
Plans will not be less than 90% of the market value of the Class A Common Stock on the date of
grant. To date, the exercise price of all options granted under the Option Plans has been equal to
or greater than the fair market value of the Class A Common Stock on the date of grant. Each option
will be exercisable after the period or periods specified in the option agreement, not to exceed 10
years from the date of grant. Options vest over a five-year period from the date of grant. Options
granted under the Option Plans are not transferable other than by will or by the laws of descent
and distribution. Pursuant to the regulations of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, the Company makes
no loans to directors or officers of the Company.
Information with respect to the Option Plans is as follows for the years ended December 31,

Note 12. Profit Sharing and Retirement Plans
Atlantis has a 401(k) defined contribution retirement plan (the 401(k) Plan).
Generally, the 401(k) Plan covers all employees who have attained the age of 21 and have at least
one year of service. Effective January 1, 2005, the Company amended the 401(k) Plan to allow the
401(k) Plan to utilize the Safe Harbor Rules, whereby the Company matches pretax salary deferrals
up to the first 3% of compensation at a rate of 100% and the next 2% of compensation at a rate of
50% for a maximum company match of 4% of compensation, as defined by the 401(k) Plan and as limited
by federal regulations. The Companys employer contributions to the 401(k) Plan were approximately
$821,000, $846,000 and $477,000 for the years ended December 31, 2006, 2005 and 2004, respectively.
Effective January 1, 2000, the Company established the Atlantis Plastics, Inc. Deferred
Compensation Plan (the Deferred Compensation Plan) for certain selected employees. Under the
Deferred Compensation Plan, eligible employees may elect to make pre-tax contributions to a trust
fund up to a maximum of 15% of annual earnings. The Companys contribution to the Deferred
Compensation Plan is based upon the employees contribution to the Deferred Compensation Plan and
could not exceed a certain amount per participant each year. Generally, the full amount of each
participants interest in the trust fund is paid upon termination of employment; however, the
Deferred Compensation Plan allows participants to make early withdrawals of contributions, subject
to certain restrictions. Company assets earmarked to pay benefits under the Deferred Compensation
Plan are held by a Rabbi Trust. Under current accounting rules, assets of a Rabbi Trust must be
accounted for as if they are assets of the Company; therefore, all earnings and expenses related to
the Rabbi Trust are
- 47 -
recorded in the Companys consolidated financial statements. Effective December 31, 2004, the
Company froze the benefits and participation in the Deferred Compensation Plan and, therefore,
there were no Company contributions to the Deferred Compensation Plan for the year ended December
31, 2006 and 2005. Total Company contribution to the Deferred Compensation Plan was approximately
$51,000 for the year ended December 31, 2004.

During 2002, certain members of the Companys Board of Directors exercised stock options and
issued interest bearing notes payable to the Company, secured by the underlying stock. Such notes

the Company makes no loans to directors or officers of the Company.
During 2006, the Company loaned $275,000 to a non-officer employee as part of a relocation
benefit to assist in purchasing a new principal residence. Upon the earlier of the sale of the
employees existing residence or maturity date of May 15, 2007, the debt is to be paid in full as

December 31, 2006, the loan balance is classified as a note receivable in the shareholders section
of the consolidated balance sheet.

On January 29, 2007, the Company filed a Current Report on Form 8-K indicating that the
Company would close down the Warren, Ohio facility, a facility in the Injection Molding segment, on
January 29, 2007, and transfer the majority of the assets and business to other Company facilities.
The Company expects to incur between $1.5 million and $2.0 million in total costs associated with
this plant closure. The book value of our owned Warren, Ohio facility is approximately $1.3
million. The Company expects to record accelerated depreciation of this asset in the first half of
2007 in a range between $0.7 million and $0.9 million. The Company expects to record contract
termination costs of approximately $0.1 million for the remaining lease payments on a 25,000 square
foot warehouse lease that expires on January 31, 2009. In connection with the shutdown of the
Warren, Ohio facility, the Company expects to incur severance costs of up to $0.1 million for the
severance of 35 employees, which will be substantially paid in cash during the first half of 2007.
In addition, the Company expects to incur an aggregate of up to between $0.6 million and $0.9
million in the first half of 2007 for expenses of moving inventory and equipment, employee
relocation, and costs associated with transitioning customer deliveries in a manner designed to
avoid disruptions in customer orders. These costs will be paid in cash and charged to expense in
the period in which they are incurred.
In February 2007, the Company issued $4.1 million of industrial development bonds used to
finance the installation of a new 7-layer W&H blown film line at our Mankato, Minnesota facility.
The bonds are secured by the new equipment and are payable in equal monthly installments of $67,000
beginning in March 2007 through February 2013. Interest accrues on the bonds at 5.39% per annum.
On March 23, 2007, the Company received notification from NASDAQ that for the last 30
consecutive trading days, its Class A Common Stock has not maintained a minimum market value of
publicly held shares (MVPHS) of $15,000,000 as required for continued inclusion on NASDAQ by
Marketplace Rule 4450(b)(3) (the Rule). Therefore, in accordance with Marketplace Rule
4450(e)(1), the Company will be provided 90 calendar days, or until June 21, 2007, to regain
compliance. If, at anytime before June 21, 2007, the MVPHS of the Companys Class A Common Stock
is $15,000,000 or more for 10 consecutive trading days, NASDAQ will provide written notification
that the Company has achieved compliance with the Rule. If compliance with this Rule cannot be
demonstrated by June 21, 2007, NASDAQ will provide written notification that the Companys
securities will be delisted.

|
CHANGES IN AND DISAGREEMENTS WITH ACCOUNTANTS ON ACCOUNTING AND FINANCIAL DISCLOSURES |
The Company has had no changes in or disagreements with its independent auditors on
accounting or financial disclosures.
|
|
|
ITEM 9A. |
|
CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES |
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
We maintain disclosure controls and procedures, as such term is defined in Rules
13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the Exchange Act), designed to
ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in our Exchange Act reports is recorded,
processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified by the SEC and that such
information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive
Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required
disclosure. In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, management
recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide
only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives, and management is required
to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and
procedures.
Under the supervision and with the participation of our Disclosure Committee and management,
including our Chief Executive Office and Chief Financial Officer, we conducted an evaluation of the
effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures, as required by
the Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(b) and 15d-15(b).
Based on that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded
that, as of December 31, 2006, our disclosure controls and procedures were ineffective, due to the
identification of the material weakness in the financial statement close and reporting process
described below.
Notwithstanding the material weakness described below, management believes the consolidated
financial statements included in this report fairly present, in all material respects, our
financial condition, results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented. In preparing
the Companys consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2006, the Company
performed additional analyses and other post-closing procedures in an effort to ensure that the
Companys consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally
accepted accounting principles. The Company does not believe that the material weakness had any
impact on previously recorded financial results. The Companys Chief Executive Officer and Chief
Financial Officer have certified that, to their knowledge, the Companys consolidated financial
statements included in this Annual Report on Form 10-K fairly present in all material respects the
financial condition, results of operations and cash flows of the Company for the periods presented.
Ernst & Young LLPs report, dated April 3, 2007, expressed an unqualified opinion on the Companys
consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2006.
Material Weakness Over Financial Statement Close and Reporting Process
A material weakness is a control deficiency, or combination of control deficiencies,
that results in a more than remote likelihood that a material misstatement of the consolidated
annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected. In connection with the
preparation of our 2006 consolidated financial statements, we have identified the following control
deficiencies, which represent a material weakness in the Companys financial statement close and
reporting process as of December 31, 2006.
The Company concluded that its financial statement close and reporting process for 2006 was
ineffective as a result of an identified material weakness relating to:
|
|
|
the lack of comprehensive documentation of accounting policies and procedures, |
|
|
|
|
the inaccurate preparation and review of reconciliations of certain significant account
balances on a timely basis, and |
- 50 -
|
|
|
the lack of segregation of duties. |
Combined, these control deficiencies indicate there is more than a remote likelihood that a
material misstatement of our annual or interim consolidated financial statements would not be
prevented or detected. Accordingly, we have determined that the control deficiencies described
above constitute a material weakness.
We may in the future identify additional material weaknesses or significant deficiencies in
our financial statement close and reporting process that we have not discovered to date. The
efficacy of the measures we implement in this regard will be subject to ongoing management review
supported by confirmation and testing by management and by our internal auditors, as well as audit
committee oversight. As a result, we expect that additional changes will be made to our financial
statement close and reporting process.
Plan for Remediation of Material Weakness
We are evaluating this material weakness and are in the preliminary stages of developing
a plan to remediate such material weakness. In connection with our remediation efforts, we expect
to:
|
|
|
prepare detailed accounting policies and procedures in connection with the
implementation of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, which would outline the policies
and procedures to be followed and would assist in mitigating the risk related to employee
turnover and the lack of segregation of duties, |
|
|
|
|
increase training and supervision of policies and procedures, particularly with respect
to matters noted above regarding the inaccurate preparation and timely review of
reconciliations of accounts, and |
|
|
|
|
review, at a senior management level, significant income statement items on a timely
basis. In addition, appropriate supervisory personnel will review significant balance
sheet reconciliations. This will help to ensure that reconciling items have been
addressed, and that appropriate classification of assets, liabilities, income and expense
accounts has been achieved. |
