1. DESCRIPTION
OF THE BUSINESS AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION
Description of the Business
Pregis Corporation (Pregis) is an international manufacturer, marketer and supplier of
protective packaging products and specialty packaging solutions. Pregis operates through two
reportable segments Protective Packaging and Specialty Packaging.
Pregis Corporation is 100%-owned by Pregis Holding II Corporation (Pregis Holding II or the
Company) which is 100%-owned by Pregis Holding I Corporation (Pregis Holding I). AEA Investors
LP and its affiliates (the Sponsors or AEA) own approximately 98% of the issued and outstanding
equity of Pregis Holding I, with the remainder held by management. AEA Investors LP is a New
York-based private equity investment firm.
Basis of Presentation
The consolidated financial statements included herein have been prepared in accordance with
U.S. generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information. Accordingly, they
do not include all of the information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally
accepted in the United States (U.S. GAAP) for complete financial statements. Management believes
these financial statements include all normal recurring adjustments considered necessary for a fair
presentation of the financial position and results of operations of the Company. The results of
operations for the three months ended March 31, 2011 are not necessarily indicative of the
operating results for the full year.
In February 2010 the Company acquired all of the outstanding shares of IntelliPack (see Note
14). The results of operations of IntelliPack, Inc. (IntelliPack) are included in the
consolidated results of the Company beginning February 20, 2010.
These unaudited interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited
consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Companys Annual Report on Form
10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010.
Separate financial statements of Pregis Corporation are not presented since the floating rate
senior secured notes due April 2013 and the 12.375% senior subordinated notes due October 2013
issued by Pregis Corporation are fully and unconditionally guaranteed on a senior secured and
senior subordinated basis, respectively, by Pregis Holding II and all existing domestic
subsidiaries of Pregis Corporation and since Pregis Holding II has no operations or assets separate
from its investment in Pregis Corporation (see Note 15).

For the three months ended March 31, 2011 the revaluation of the Companys euro-denominated
senior secured notes resulted in unrealized foreign exchange loss of $18,090 which has been
partially offset by unrealized gains of $16,609 related to the revaluation of the Companys
euro-denominated intercompany notes receivable for the three months ended March 31, 2011. For the
three months ended March 31, 2010, the revaluation of the Companys euro-denominated senior secured
notes resulted in unrealized foreign exchange gain of $18,158 which has been partially offset by
unrealized losses of $16,671 related to the revaluation of the
Companys euro-denominated
intercompany notes receivable for the three months ended March 31, 2010. These amounts are
included within foreign exchange loss, net in the Companys consolidated statements of operations.
In March 2011, Pregis Holding II and Pregis and certain of their subsidiaries entered into a
$75 million Credit Agreement with Wells Fargo Capital Finance, LLC, as agent, Wells Fargo Bank,
National Association, as lender and other lenders from time to time parties thereto (ABL credit
facility). The ABL credit facility provides for borrowings in dollars, euros and pounds sterling
and consists of (1) a UK facility, under which certain UK subsidiaries of Pregis (the UK
Borrowers) may from time to time borrow up to a maximum amount of the lesser of the UK borrowing
base and $30 million and (2) a US facility, under which certain US subsidiaries of Pregis (the US
Borrowers and, together with the UK Borrowers, the Borrowers) may from time to time borrow up
to a maximum amount of the lesser of the US borrowing base and $75 million less amounts
outstanding under the UK facility. The borrowing base is calculated on the basis of certain
permitted over advance amounts, plus a percentage of certain eligible accounts receivable and
eligible inventory, subject to reserves established by the agent from time to time. The ABL credit
facility provides for the issuances of letters of credit and a swingline subfacility. The ABL
credit facility also provides for future uncommitted increases of its maximum amount, not to exceed
$40 million.
The ABL credit facility matures on the earlier of March 2016 and the date that is 90 days
prior to the maturity of the existing high yield notes of Pregis Corporation (as such notes may be
refinanced prior to such maturity date). Advances under the ABL credit facility bear interest, at
the Borrowers option, equal to adjusted LIBOR plus an
applicable margin for LIBOR loans or a base
rate plus an applicable margin for
8
Table of Contents
base rate loans. The applicable margin for LIBOR loans ranges
from 2.5% to 3%, depending on the average quarterly excess availability of the Borrowers. The
applicable margin for base rate loans is 100 basis points lower than the applicable margin for the
LIBOR loans.
All
obligations under the ABL credit facility are guaranteed by Pregis
Holding II and certain of its
direct and indirect subsidiaries (other than certain non wholly-owned and immaterial subsidiaries
and certain foreign subsidiaries), with foreign guarantors guaranteeing only the obligations of the
UK Borrowers. All obligations under the ABL credit facility and the guarantees of those
obligations are secured, subject to certain exceptions, by a first-priority security interest in
substantially all assets of Pregis Holding II, the Borrowers and the guarantors, as well as the
pledge of 100% of the capital stock of the Borrowers, the guarantors and their direct subsidiaries,
with the obligations of the US Borrowers being secured only by (1) a first-priority security
interest in substantially all assets of Pregis Holding II, the US Borrowers and the domestic
guarantors, (2) a pledge of 100% of the capital stock of the US Borrowers, the domestic guarantors
and their direct domestic subsidiaries and (3) a pledge of 65% of the voting capital stock and 100%
of the non-voting capital stock of the first-tier foreign subsidiaries of the US Borrowers and
domestic guarantors. The security interest in the domestic collateral ranks prior to the security
interest securing the Companys existing second priority floating rate notes due 2013. The lenders
under the ABL credit facility have agreed to share their domestic collateral with future secured
notes, if any, that refinance the existing notes, with the ABL credit facility retaining a first
priority security interest in all accounts receivable, inventory and certain related assets of
Pregis Holding II, the US Borrowers and the domestic guarantors and subordinating its security
interest in all other domestic assets and the capital stock of the US Borrowers, domestic
guarantors and their direct subsidiaries to the liens securing such new secured notes, if any.
As of March 31, 2011, borrowings under the ABL credit facility totaled $40,084, outstanding
letters of credit were $6,750, and remaining availability was $28,166. The Company utilized
proceeds from the ABL credit facility to pay off and terminate its pre-existing $50 million
revolving credit facility. It is the current intent of the Company to hold the debt until its
maturity, resulting in the debts classification as long-term as of March 31, 2011.
Pregiss senior secured notes were issued in the principal amount of 100.0 million and 125.0
million, respectively, and bear interest at a floating rate equal to EURIBOR (as defined) plus
5.00% per year (for a total rate of 5.985% as of December 31, 2010). Interest resets quarterly and
is payable quarterly on January 15, April 15, July 15 and October 15. The senior secured notes
mature on April 15, 2013. The senior subordinated notes were issued in the principal amount of
$150.0 million and bear interest at the rate of 12.375% annually. Interest on the senior
subordinated notes is payable semi-annually on April 15 and October 15. The senior subordinated
notes mature on October 15, 2013. The senior subordinated notes were issued at a discount of
98.149% of their principal amount, resulting in an initial discount of $2.8 million, which is being
amortized using the effective interest method over the term of the notes. The senior secured notes
issued in 2009 were issued at a discount of 94% of their principal amount, resulting in an initial
discount of $11.0 million, (7.5million), which is being amortized using the effective interest
method over the term of the notes. The senior secured notes and senior subordinated notes do not
have required principal payments prior to maturity.
Pregis Holding II and Pregiss domestic subsidiaries have guaranteed the obligations under the
senior secured notes and the senior subordinated notes on a senior secured basis and senior
subordinated basis, respectively. Additionally, the senior secured notes are secured on a second
priority basis by liens on all of the domestic collateral (subject to certain exceptions) securing
Pregiss ABL credit facility. In the event that secured creditors exercise remedies with respect
to Pregis and its guarantors pledged assets, the proceeds of the liquidation of those assets will
first be applied to repay obligations secured by the first priority liens under the ABL credit
facility and any other first priority obligations.

In March 2011, the Company borrowed amounts available to its foreign subsidiaries under two
local lines of credit. The first subsidiary line of credit allows for borrowings up to a certain
percentage of such subsidiarys specified accounts receivable. As of March 31, 2011 amounts
outstanding under this foreign line of credit totaled $4.0 million. The second foreign line of
credit allows for issuances of letters of credit only which totaled $3.6 million as of March 31,
2011.
5. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS
Under U.S. GAAP, certain assets and liabilities must be measured at fair value and ASC Topic
820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures, (ASC Topic 820) details the disclosures that are
required for items measured at fair value.
ASC Topic 820 establishes a three-tier fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used
in measuring fair value, as follows:
Level 1 Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities.
Level 2 Observable inputs other than Level 1 prices such as quoted prices for similar assets
or liabilities, quoted prices in markets that are not active, or other inputs that are
observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of
the assets or liabilities.
Level 3 Unobservable inputs in which little or no market data exists, therefore
requiring an entity to develop its own assumptions.
In order to maintain its interest rate risk and to achieve a targeted ratio of variable-rate
versus fixed-rate debt, the Company established an interest rate swap arrangement in the notional
amount of 65 million euro from EURIBOR-based floating rates to a fixed rate over the period of October 1, 2008 to April
15, 2011. This swap arrangement was designated as a cash flow hedge and changes in the fair value
of this instrument are expected to be highly effective in offsetting the fluctuations in the
floating interest rate and are, therefore, being recorded in other comprehensive income until the
underlying transaction is recorded. This swap arrangement was settled in March 2011.
The accounting for the cash flow impact of the swap was recorded as an adjustment to interest
expense. For the three months ended March 31, 2011, the swap resulted in an increase to interest
expense of $1,654, which included additional expense of $838 related to the termination of the
swap. For the three months ended March 31, 2010, the swap resulted in an increase to interest
expense of $927.
At March 31, 2011, the Companys contingent purchase consideration relating to the IntelliPack
acquisition in 2010 is recorded at fair value and is categorized as Level 3 within the fair value
hierarchy. The fair value of this liability is estimated using a present value analysis as of
March 31, 2011 and was $9.4 million. This analysis considers, among other items, the financial
forecasts of future operating results of the acquiree, the probability of reaching the forecast,
and the associated discount rate. A rollforward of this liability from the acquisition date to the
balance sheet date is as follows:

(1) | The adjustment to original contingent purchase consideration liability recorded was the result of using revised financial forecasts and updated fair value measurement and is included in interest expense in the statement of operations |
The carrying values of other financial instruments included in current assets and current
liabilities approximate fair values due to the short-term maturities of these instruments. The
carrying value of amounts outstanding under the Companys senior secured credit facilities is
considered to approximate fair value as interest rates vary, based on prevailing market rates. At
March 31, 2011, the fair values of the Companys senior secured notes (issued in 2005), senior
secured notes (issued in 2009), and senior subordinated notes were estimated to be $137,488,
$171,860, and $145,125 respectively, based on quoted market prices. Under ASC Topic 825,
Financial Instruments, entities are permitted to choose to measure many financial instruments and
certain other items at fair value. The Company did not elect the fair value measurement option
under this standard for any of its financial assets or liabilities.
6. PENSION PLANS

11. SEGMENT AND GEOGRAPHIC INFORMATION
The Companys segments are determined on the basis of its organization and internal reporting
to the chief operating decision maker. The Companys segments are as follows:
Protective Packaging This segment manufactures, markets, sells and distributes protective
packaging products in North America and Europe. Its protective mailers, air-encapsulated bubble
products, sheet foam, engineered foam, inflatable airbag systems, honeycomb products,
foam-in-place, and other protective packaging products are manufactured and sold for use in
cushioning, void-fill, surface-protection, containment and blocking & bracing applications.

Specialty Packaging |
80,980 | 75,176 | ||||||
$ | 226,998 | $ | 210,036 | |||||
The Company evaluates performance and allocates resources to its segments based on
segment EBITDA, which is calculated internally as net income before interest, taxes, depreciation,
amortization, and
13
Table of Contents
restructuring expense and adjusted for other non-cash charges and benefits. Segment
EBITDA is a measure of segment profit or loss which is reported to the Companys chief operating
decision maker for purposes of making decisions about allocating resources to the Companys
segments and evaluating segment performance. In addition, segment EBITDA is included herein in
conformity with ASC Topic 280, Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related
Information. Management believes that segment EBITDA provides useful information for analyzing and
evaluating the underlying operating results of each segment. However, segment EBITDA should not be
considered in isolation or as a substitute for net income (loss) before income taxes or other
measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles in the United States. Additionally, the Companys computation of segment EBITDA may not
be comparable to other similarly titled measures computed by other companies.
The following table presents EBITDA by reportable segment and reconciles the total segment
EBITDA to loss before income taxes:

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

income (loss) and the amount remaining in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) on the date
of settlement was recorded as interest expense.
13. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
Legal matters
The Company is party to legal proceedings arising from its operations. Related reserves are
recorded when it is probable that liabilities exist and where reasonable estimates of such
liabilities can be made. While it is not possible to predict the outcome of any of these
proceedings, the Companys management, based on its assessment of the facts and circumstances now
known, does not believe that any of these proceedings, individually or in the aggregate, will have
a material adverse effect on the Companys financial position. The Company does not believe that,
with respect to any pending legal matters, it is reasonably possible that a loss exceeding amounts
already recognized may be material. However, actual outcomes may be different than expected and
could have a material effect on the companys results of operations or cash flows in a particular
period.
Environmental matters
The Company is subject to a variety of environmental and pollution-control laws and
regulations in all jurisdictions in which it operates. Where it is probable that related
liabilities exist and where reasonable estimates of such liabilities can be made, associated
reserves are established. Estimated liabilities are subject to change as additional information
becomes available regarding the magnitude of possible clean-up costs, the expense and effectiveness
of alternative clean-up methods, and other possible liabilities associated with such situations.
The Company does not believe that, with respect to any pending environmental matters, that
a loss is reasonably possible. However, actual outcomes may be different than expected and
could have a material effect on the companys results of operations or cash flows in a particular
period.
Financing commitments
As of March 31, 2011, the Company also had $6.7 million of outstanding letters of credit under
the ABL credit facility. In addition, the Company also had outstanding guarantees and letters of
credit issued under other financing lines with local banks totaling $3.6 million.

14. ACQUISITIONS
The transaction discussed below was accounted for using the purchase method of accounting.
Accordingly the purchase price was allocated to the assets acquired, liabilities assumed, and
identifiable intangible assets as applicable based on their fair values at the date of
acquisition. Any excess of purchase price over the fair value of net assets acquired was recorded
as goodwill. The results of operations of the acquiree is included in the Companys consolidated
financial statements since the date of acquisition. The goodwill related to this acquisition is
not tax-deductible.
In February 2010, Pregis acquired all of the outstanding stock of IntelliPack, Inc. through
one of its wholly owned subsidiaries, Pregis Management Corporation (the IntelliPack
Acquisition). Following the acquisition, Pregis Management Corporation was subsequently renamed
Pregis IntelliPack Corporation (IntelliPack). The initial purchase price of $31.5 million,
including certain escrowed amounts totaling $3.5 million, was funded with cash-on-hand. In
accordance with the terms of the agreement, additional consideration up to a maximum of $11.5
million may be payable by Pregis if certain future performance targets are achieved by IntelliPack.
Based on a present value analysis, the fair value of contingent purchase consideration was valued
at approximately $9.7 million on the acquisition date. The Company paid $0.3 million as of March
31, 2011 and $0.8 million during 2010 related to this contingency. The remaining contingent
purchase consideration was revalued at approximately $9.4 million as of March 31, 2011. The
classification of the additional consideration payable as current and long-term was based on the
estimated timing of future payments and the amounts are included in other current liabilities and
other long-term liabilities in the consolidated balance sheet.
15. SUPPLEMENTAL GUARANTOR CONDENSED FINANCIAL INFORMATION
Pregis Holdings II (presented as Parent in the following schedules), through its 100%-owned
subsidiary, Pregis Corporation (presented as Issuer in the following schedules), issued senior
secured notes and senior subordinated notes in connection with its acquisition by AEA Investors LP
and its affiliates. The senior notes are fully, unconditionally and jointly and severally
guaranteed on a senior secured basis and the senior subordinated notes are fully, unconditionally
and jointly and severally guaranteed on an unsecured senior subordinated basis, in each case, by
Pregis Holdings II and substantially all existing and future 100%-owned domestic restricted
subsidiaries of Pregis Corporation (collectively, the Guarantors). All other subsidiaries of
Pregis Corporation, whether direct or indirect, do not guarantee the senior secured notes and
senior subordinated notes (the Non-Guarantors). The Guarantors also unconditionally guarantee
the Companys borrowings under its ABL credit facility on a senior secured basis.
Additionally, the senior secured notes are secured on a second priority basis by liens on all
of the collateral (subject to certain exceptions) securing Pregis Corporations senior secured
credit facilities. In the event that secured creditors exercise remedies with respect to Pregis and its guarantors
pledged assets, the proceeds of the liquidation of those assets will first be applied to repay
obligations secured by the first priority liens under the ABL credit facility and any other first
priority obligations.
The following condensed consolidating financial statements present the results of operations,
financial position and cash flows of (1) the Parent, (2) the Issuer, (3) the Guarantors, (4) the
Non-Guarantors, and (5) eliminations to arrive at the information for Pregis Holding II on a
consolidated basis. Separate financial statements and other disclosures concerning the Guarantors
are not presented because management does not believe such information is material to investors.
Therefore, each of the Guarantors is combined in the presentation below.

OVERVIEW
We are an international manufacturer, marketer and supplier of protective packaging products
and specialty packaging solutions. We currently operate 46 facilities in 18 countries, with
approximately 4,000 employees world-wide. We sell our products to a wide array of customers,
including retailers, distributors, packer processors, hospitals, fabricators and directly to the
end-users. Approximately 63% of our 2010 net sales were generated outside of the U.S., so we are
sensitive to fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates, primarily between the euro and pound
sterling with the U.S. dollar.
Our net sales for the three months ended March 31, 2011 increased 8.1% over the comparable
period of 2010. The increase was driven primarily by the impact of selling price increases,
increased volumes from the Companys growth initiatives, and incremental sales associated with the
acquisition of IntelliPack, partially offset by unfavorable foreign currency translation.
Excluding the impact of unfavorable foreign currency translation and the net sales of the partial
quarter of IntelliPack, net sales for the three months ended March 31, 2011 increased 7.4% compared
to the same period in 2010.
Our gross margin (defined as net sales less cost of sales, excluding depreciation and
amortization) as a percent of net sales decreased to 21.4% for the first quarter of 2011, compared
to 22.6% for the same period of 2010. The decline in our 2011 gross margin percentage was driven
primarily by increased key raw material costs partially offset by the impact of selling price
increases. The majority of the products we sell are plastic-resin based, and therefore our
operations are highly sensitive to fluctuations in the costs of plastic resins. In the first
quarter of 2011 as compared to the same period of 2010, average resin costs increased approximately
12% in North America and 30% in Europe, as measured by the Chemical Market Associates, Inc.
(CMAI) index and ICIS index, their respective market indices.
On March 23, 2011, the Company successfully refinanced its existing $50 million revolving
credit facility with a new $75 million ABL credit facility. This refinancing addressed the
October 2011 maturity of our old revolving credit facility while providing additional liquidity.

Segment Net Sales
Volume in the Companys protective packaging segment increased by 2.1% for the three month
period ended March 31, 2011 compared to the same period in 2010. The volume increase for the
period was driven primarily by the Companys growth initiatives in products such as Honeycomb paper
products, inflatable systems, and sustainable products.
Price/mix for the Companys protective packaging segment increased net sales by 5.2% for the
three month period ended March 31, 2011 compared to the same period in 2010. Price/mix was
favorable year-over-year due to selling price increases implemented in both our North American and
European businesses in response to increased key raw material costs.
Volume in the Companys specialty packaging segment increased by 2.1% for the three month
period ended March 31, 2011 compared to the same period of 2010, primarily due to the impact of
growth initiatives in our fresh food packaging markets.
Price/mix for the Companys specialty packaging segment increased net sales by 5.6% for the
year ended March 31, 2011 compared to the same period in 2010 Price/mix was favorable
year-over-year due primarily to selling price increases implemented in our flexible packaging
business in response to increased key raw material costs.
Gross Margin
Gross margin (defined as net sales less cost of sales, excluding depreciation and
amortization), as a percent of net sales, was 21.4% for the three months ended March 31, 2011
compared to 22.6% for the same period of 2010. This decrease of 120 basis points was driven by
increased key raw material costs partially offset by the impact of selling price increases and
increased volumes. The increase in key raw material costs resulted in a negative 187 basis point
impact on gross margin as a percent of net sales.
Average resin costs in North America for the three month period ended March 31, 2011 were 12%
higher than average resin costs for the same period in 2010 while average resin costs in Europe
were 30% higher than average resin prices for the same period of 2010, based on their respective
market indices.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses
Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased by $3.8 million for the three months
ended March 31, 2011 compared to the same period of 2010. This decrease was primarily driven by
decreased legal expenses and 2010 acquisition related fees not incurred in 2011, partially offset
by 2011 severance expense and incremental IntelliPack expenses for the full quarter of 2011
compared to a partial quarter in 2010. The 2010 legal expenses were the result of a patent dispute
related to the Companys protective packaging segment. In March 2010, there was an initial ruling
which was favorable to the Company. As of March 31, 2011 there is a pending appeal regarding this
legal matter which the Company also believes will have a favorable outcome to the Company.
Excluding the impact of the legal expenses and acquisition related costs, selling, general and
administrative expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2011 increased by approximately $1.5
million due primarily to severance expense, a full quarter of IntelliPack expenses in 2011 compared
to a partial quarter in 2010, and increased sales and marketing expenses incurred to help drive the
Companys growth initiatives.
Other Operating Expense, net
For the three months ended March 31, 2011, other operating expense, net totaled $0.3 million,
compared to $0.6 million in the same period of 2010. In the 2011 period we recorded restructuring
charges of $0.5 million, primarily related to consulting expenses. In the 2010 period we recorded
restructuring charges of $0.6 million primarily related to consulting expenses. See Note 9 to the
unaudited consolidated financial statements for details regarding our restructuring activity.
Depreciation and Amortization Expense
Depreciation and amortization expense increased by $1.2 million for the three months ended
March 31, 2011, compared to the respective period of 2010, primarily due to the IntelliPack
acquisition.
Segment Income
We measure our segments operating performance on the basis of segment EBITDA, defined as net
income (loss) before interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization, and restructuring expense and
adjusted for other non-cash charges and benefits. See Note 11 to the unaudited consolidated
financial statements for a reconciliation of total segment EBITDA to consolidated net loss before
income taxes. Segment EBITDA for the relevant periods is as follows:

Segment EBITDA for the Protective Packaging segment increased $1.4 million for the three
months ended March 31, 2011 compared to the same period of 2010. This increase was primarily due
to the
25
Table of Contents
impact from selling price increases, increased volumes, and the impact of the IntelliPack
acquisition partially offset by increased key raw material costs.
Segment EBITDA for specialty packaging decreased by $0.5 million for the first quarter of
2011. This decrease was due to significantly higher key raw material costs which were only
partially offset by favorable pricing.
Interest Expense
Interest expense for the three months ended March 31, 2011 increased $1.1 million compared to
the same period of 2010. The increase was primarily driven by the termination of the interest rate
swap contract in March 2011, which resulted in $0.8 million of additional interest expense. In
addition, unfavorable foreign currency increased interest expense on the Companys euro denominated
debt.
Foreign Exchange Loss (Gain), net
A portion of our third-party debt is denominated in euro and revalued to U.S. dollars at
month-end. We also maintain an intercompany debt structure, whereby Pregis Corporation has
provided euro-denominated loans to certain of its foreign subsidiaries and these and other foreign
subsidiaries have provided euro-denominated loans to certain U.K. based subsidiaries. At each
month-end we recognize unrealized gains and losses on the revaluation of these instruments,
resulting from the fluctuations between the U.S. dollar and euro exchange rate, as well as the
pound sterling and euro exchange rate.
In the three months ended March 31, 2011, we recognized a net foreign exchange gain of $1.1
million. The gain in the quarter reflects the relative weakening of the U.S. dollar at the end of
March 2011 (relative to December 31, 2010 exchange rates) when we revalued our euro-denominated
third-party debt and inter-company loans. In the three month period ended March 31, 2010, we
recognized a net foreign exchange loss of $1.3 million.
Income Tax Expense
Our effective income tax rate was approximately 14.89% for the three months ended March 31,
2011, which compares to approximately 15.23% for the three months ended March 31, 2010. For the
three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010, the Companys
effective rate differs from the U.S. federal
statutory rate of 35% primarily due to the establishment of additional valuation allowances against
losses in certain jurisdictions that are not expected to result in future tax benefits.
Net Loss
For the three months ended March 31, 2011, we had a net loss of $7.7 million, compared to a
net loss of $12.2 million in the comparable period of 2010. As discussed herein, the 2011 net loss
is mainly the result of increased raw material costs partially offset by increases in selling
prices and increased sales volumes.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

2011 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2010:

Operating Activities. Cash used in operating activities increased by $7.8
million during the three months ended March 31, 2011 compared to the same period of 2010. This
increase was driven primarily by increased working capital investment due to the increased
year-over-year sales volumes, as well as increased key raw material costs.
Cash from operating activities is sensitive to raw material costs and the Companys ability to
recover increases in these costs from its customers. Although price increases have typically
lagged the underlying change in raw material costs, the Company has historically been able to
recover significant increases in underlying raw material costs from its customers over a twelve to
twenty-four month period. Future cash from operations is dependent upon the Companys continued
ability to recover increases in underlying raw material increases from its customers.
The Company has not experienced any significant changes in year-over-year days sales
outstanding, days inventory on-hand or days payable outstanding. The Company has not identified
any trends in key working capital investments that would have a material impact on its liquidity or
ability to satisfy its debt obligations or fund capital expenditures. Significant increases in
resin pricing could negatively affect our cash generated from operating activities in future
periods.
Investing Activities. Cash used in investing activities totaled $8.5 million for the three
months ended March 31, 2011, a decrease of $33.2 million compared to the same period of 2010. This
decrease was primarily the result of the 2010 acquisition of IntelliPack. In February 2010, Pregis
acquired all of the stock of IntelliPack for an initial purchase price of $31.5 million and certain
escrowed amounts totaling $3.5 million, which was funded with cash-on-hand. Capital expenditures
totaled $8.4 million in the 2011 period compared to $6.8 million in the 2010 period, driven by
investments for capacity expansion in our specialty segment.
Financing Activities. Cash used in financing activities for the three months ended March 31,
2011 increased $4.0 million compared to the same period of 2010. This increase was a result of the
repayment of the senior secured credit facility of $43.0 million and deferred financing fees
incurred in connection with the ABL credit facility of $1.1 million partially offset by proceeds
from a draw on the ABL credit facility of $40.1 million.
Our liquidity requirements are significant, primarily due to debt service requirements and
capital investment in our businesses. We expect our 2011 capital expenditures to total
approximately $30 to $35 million and our 2011 debt service costs to total approximately $40
million. At March 31, 2011, we had cash and cash equivalents of $31.1 million. Our available cash
and cash equivalents are held in bank
27
Table of Contents
deposits and money market funds. We actively monitor the
third-party depository institutions that hold our cash and cash equivalents to ensure safety of
principal while achieving a satisfactory yield on those funds. To date, we have experienced no
material loss or lack of access to our invested cash or cash equivalents; however, we can provide
no assurances that access to our invested cash and cash equivalents will not be impacted by adverse
conditions in the financial markets.
Our primary source of liquidity will continue to be cash flows from operations, existing cash
balances, and amounts available to the Company under the ABL credit facility and foreign lines of
credit.
ABL Credit Facility. On March 23, 2011, Pregis Holding II and Pregis and certain of their
subsidiaries entered into a $75 million Credit Agreement with Wells Fargo Capital Finance, LLC, as
agent, Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as lender and other lenders from time to time
parties thereto (ABL credit facility). The ABL credit facility provides for the borrowings in
dollars, euros and pounds sterling and consists of (1) a UK facility, under which certain UK
subsidiaries of Pregis (the UK Borrowers) may from time to time borrow up to a maximum amount of
the lesser of the UK borrowing base and $30 million and (2) a US facility, under which certain US
subsidiaries of Pregis (the US Borrowers and, together with the UK Borrowers, the Borrowers)
may from time to time borrow up to a maximum amount of the lesser of the US borrowing base and $75
million less amounts outstanding under the UK facility. The borrowing base is calculated on the
basis of certain permitted over advance amounts, plus a percentage of certain eligible accounts
receivable and eligible inventory, subject to reserves established by the agent from time to time.
The ABL credit facility provides for the issuances of letters of credit and a swingline
subfacility. The ABL credit facility also provides for future uncommitted increases of its maximum
amount, not to exceed $40 million.
The ABL credit facility matures on the earlier of March 22, 2016 and the date that is 90 days
prior to the maturity of the existing high yield notes of Pregis Corporation (as such notes may be
refinanced prior to such maturity date). Advances under the ABL credit facility bear interest, at
the Borrowers option, equal to adjusted LIBOR plus an applicable margin for LIBOR loans or a base
rate plus an applicable margin for base rate loans. The applicable margin for LIBOR loans ranges
from 2.5% to 3%, depending on the average quarterly excess availability of the Borrowers. The
applicable margin for the base rate loans is 100 basis points lower than the applicable margin for
the LIBOR loans.
All obligations under the ABL credit facility are guaranteed by Pregis Holding II and certain
of its direct and indirect subsidiaries (other than certain non wholly-owned and immaterial
subsidiaries and certain foreign subsidiaries), with foreign guarantors guaranteeing only the
obligations of the UK Borrowers. All obligations under the ABL credit facility and the guarantees of those
obligations are secured, subject to certain exceptions, by a first-priority security interest in
substantially all assets of the Pregis Holding II, the Borrowers and the guarantors, as well as the
pledge of 100% of the capital stock of the Borrowers, the guarantors and their direct subsidiaries,
with the obligations of the US Borrowers being secured only by (1) a first-priority security
interest in substantially all assets of the Pregis Holding II, the US Borrowers and the domestic
guarantors, (2) a pledge of 100% of the capital stock of the US Borrowers, the domestic guarantors
and their direct domestic subsidiaries and (3) a pledge of 65% of the voting capital stock and 100%
of the non-voting capital stock of the first-tier foreign subsidiaries of the US Borrowers and
domestic guarantors. The security interest in the domestic collateral ranks prior to the security
interest securing the Companys existing second priority floating rate notes due 2013. The lenders
under the ABL credit facility have agreed to share their domestic collateral with future secured
notes, if any, that refinance the existing notes, with the ABL credit facility retaining a first
priority security interest in all accounts receivable, inventory and certain related assets of the
Pregis Holding II, the US Borrowers and the domestic guarantors and subordinating its security
interest in all other domestic assets and the capital stock of the US Borrowers, domestic
guarantors and their direct subsidiaries to the liens securing such new secured notes, if any.

The ABL credit facility contains customary representations, warranties, covenants and events
of default, and requires monthly compliance with a springing fixed charge coverage ratio of 1.1
to 1.0 if the excess availability of Pregis and its subsidiaries falls below a certain level. The
ABL credit facility is also subject to mandatory prepayments out of certain asset sale, insurance
and condemnation proceeds, if the excess availability of Pregis and its subsidiaries falls below a
certain level.
As of March 31, 2011, borrowings under the ABL credit facility totaled $40,084, outstanding
letters of credit were $6,750, and remaining availability was $28,166. The Company utilized
proceeds from the ABL to pay off and terminate its pre-existing $50 million revolving credit
facility.
Senior Secured Floating Rate Notes and Senior Subordinated Notes. On October 13, 2005, Pregis
issued 100.0 million aggregate principal amount of second priority senior secured floating rate
notes due 2013 (the senior secured notes) and $150 million aggregate principal amount of 12?%
senior subordinated notes due 2013 (the senior subordinated notes).
The senior secured notes mature on April 15, 2013. Interest accrues at a floating rate equal
to EURIBOR plus 5.00% per year and is payable quarterly on January 15, April 15, July 15 and
October 15 of each year. The senior secured notes are guaranteed on a senior secured basis by
Pregis Holding II, Pregiss immediate parent, and each of Pregiss current and future domestic
subsidiaries. At its option, Pregis may redeem some or all of the senior secured notes at 100% of
their principal amount. Upon the occurrence of a change of control, Pregis will be required to
make an offer to repurchase each holders notes at a repurchase price equal to 101% of their
principal amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest to the date of repurchase.
The senior subordinated notes mature on October 15, 2013. Interest accrues at a rate of
12.375% and is payable semi-annually on April 15 and October 15 of each year. The notes are senior
subordinated obligations and rank junior in right of payment to all of Pregiss senior
indebtedness. The senior subordinated notes are guaranteed on a senior subordinated basis by Pregis
Holding II and each of Pregiss current and future domestic subsidiaries. Pregis may redeem some or
all of the notes at redemption prices equal to 103.094% of their principal amount (in the 12 months
beginning October 15, 2010) and 100% of their principal amount (beginning October 15, 2011).
On October 5, 2009 Pregis issued 125.0 million aggregate principal amount of additional
second priority senior secured floating rate notes due 2013 (the 2009 senior secured notes). The
2009 senior secured notes are treated as a single class under the indenture with the 100.0 million
principal amount of 2005 second priority senior secured floating rate notes for purpose of voting
and redemption. However, the 2009 senior secured notes do not have the same Common Code or ISIN
numbers as the 2005 senior
secured notes, are not fungible with the 2005 senior secured notes and will not trade together
as a single class with the 2005 senior secured notes. The 2009 senior secured notes are treated as
issued with more than de minimis original issue discount for United States federal income tax
purposes, whereas the 2005 senior secured notes were not issued with original issue discount for
such purposes. Together the 2005 senior secured notes and the 2009 senior secured notes are
referred to herein as the senior secured notes.
The indentures governing the senior secured notes and the senior subordinated notes contain
covenants that limit or prohibit Pregiss ability and the ability of its restricted subsidiaries,
subject to certain exceptions, to incur additional indebtedness, pay dividends or make other equity
distributions, make investments, create liens, incur obligations that restrict the ability of
Pregiss restricted subsidiaries to make dividends or other payments to Pregis, sell assets, engage
in transactions with affiliates, create unrestricted subsidiaries, and merge or consolidate with
other companies or sell substantially all of Pregiss assets. The indentures also contain reporting
covenants regarding delivery of annual and quarterly financial information. The indenture governing
the senior secured notes limits Pregiss ability to incur first priority secured debt to an amount
which results in its secured debt leverage ratio being greater than 3:1, plus $50 million, and
prohibits it from incurring additional second priority secured debt other
29
Table of Contents
than by issuing additional senior secured notes. The indenture governing the senior secured notes also limits
Pregiss ability to enter into sale and leaseback transactions. The indenture governing the senior
subordinated notes prohibits Pregis from incurring debt that is senior to such notes and
subordinate to any other debt.
The senior secured notes and senior subordinated notes are not listed on any national
securities exchange in the United States. The senior secured notes are listed on the Irish Stock
Exchange. However, there can be no assurance that the senior secured notes will remain listed.
Collateral for the Senior Secured Floating Rate Notes. The senior secured floating rate notes
are secured by a second priority lien, subject to permitted liens, on all of the following assets
owned by Pregis or the guarantors, to the extent such assets secure Pregiss senior secured credit
facilities on a first priority basis (subject to exceptions):
(1) | substantially all of Pregiss and each guarantors existing and future property and assets, including, without limitation, real estate, receivables, contracts, inventory, cash and cash accounts, equipment, documents, instruments, intellectual property, chattel paper, investment property, supporting obligations and general intangibles, with minor exceptions; and | ||
(2) | all of the capital stock or other securities of Pregiss and each guarantors existing or future direct or indirect domestic subsidiaries and 66% of the capital stock or other securities of Pregiss and each guarantors existing or future direct foreign subsidiaries, but only to the extent that the inclusion of such capital stock or other securities will mean that the par value, book value as carried by us, or market value (whichever is greatest) of such capital stock or other securities of any subsidiary is not equal to or greater than 20% of the aggregate principal amount of the senior secured floating rate notes outstanding. |
As of December 31, 2010, the capital stock of the following subsidiaries of Pregis constituted

As described above, under the collateral agreement, the capital stock pledged to the
senior secured noteholders constitutes collateral only to the extent that the par value or market
value or book value (whichever is greatest) of the capital stock does not exceed 20% of the
aggregate principal amount of the senior secured notes. This threshold is 45,000,000, or, at the
December 31, 2010 exchange rate of U.S. dollars to euro of 1.3370:1.00, approximately $60.2
million. As of December 31, 2010, the book value and the market value of the shares of capital
stock of Pregis Innovative Packaging Inc. were
30
Table of Contents
approximately $50.3 million and $112.3 million, respectively; the book value and the market value of the shares of capital stock of Hexacomb
Corporation were approximately $43.3 million and $37.2 million respectively; the book value of and
the market value of the shares of capital stock of IntelliPack were approximately $38.3 million and
$9.1 million respectively; and the book value and the market value of 66% of the shares of capital
stock of Pregis (Luxembourg) Holding S.àr.l. were approximately $17.3 million and $ million,
respectively. Therefore, in accordance with the collateral agreement, the collateral pool for the
senior secured floating rate notes includes approximately $60.2 million with respect to the shares
of capital stock of Pregis Innovative Packaging Inc. Since the book value and market value of the
shares of capital stock of our other domestic subsidiaries and Pregis (Luxemburg) Holdings S.ar.l
are each less than the $60.2 million threshold, they are not effected by the 20% clause of the
collateral agreement.
For
purposes of calculating book value for the year ended
December 31, 2010 in the table above,
certain historical equity relating to corporate expenses incurred by Pregis Management Corporation
were allocated to each of the three entities, Pregis Innovative Packaging Inc., Hexacomb
Corporation, and Pregis (Luxembourg) Holding S.àr.l, in order to better reflect their current book
values for presentation herein on a fully-allocated basis.
The market value of the capital stock of the guarantors and subsidiaries constituting
collateral for the senior secured notes has been estimated by us on an annual basis, using a market
approach. At the time of the Acquisition, the purchase price paid for these entities was
determined based on a multiple of EBITDA, as was contractually agreed in the stock purchase
agreement. Since that time, we have followed a similar methodology, using a multiple of EBITDA,
based on that of recent transactions of comparable companies, to determine the enterprise value of
these entities. To arrive at an estimate of the market value of the entities capital stock, we
have subtracted from the enterprise value the existing debt, net of cash on hand, and have also
made adjustments for the businesses relative portion of corporate expenses. We have determined
that this methodology is a reasonable and appropriate means for determining the market value of the
capital stock pledged as collateral. We intend to complete these estimates of value of the capital
stock of these subsidiaries for so long necessary to determine our compliance with the collateral
arrangement governing the notes.
The value of the collateral for the senior secured notes at any time will depend on market and
other economic conditions, including the availability of suitable buyers for the collateral. As of
December 31, 2010, the value of the collateral for the senior secured floating rate notes totaled
approximately $617.7 million, estimated as the sum of (1) the book value of the total assets of
Pregis and each guarantor, excluding intercompany activity (which amount totaled $459.2 million),
and (2) the collateral value of the capital stock, as outlined above (which amount totaled $158.5
million). Any proceeds received upon the sale of collateral would be paid first to the lenders
under our ABL credit facility, who have a first lien security interest in the collateral, before
any payment could be made to holders of the senior secured notes. There is no assurance that any
collateral value would remain for the holders of the senior secured notes after payment in full to
the lenders under our ABL credit facility.
Covenant Ratios Contained in the Senior Secured Notes and Senior Subordinated Notes. The
indentures governing the senior secured notes and senior subordinated notes contain two material
covenants which utilize financial ratios. Non-compliance with these covenants could result in an
event of default under the indentures and, under certain circumstances, a requirement to
immediately repay all amounts outstanding under the notes and could trigger a cross-default under
Pregiss ABL credit facility or other indebtedness we may incur in the future. First, Pregis is
permitted to incur indebtedness under the indentures if the ratio of Consolidated Cash Flow to
Fixed Charges on a pro forma basis (referred to in the indentures as the Fixed Charge Coverage
Ratio) is greater than 2:1 or, if the ratio is less, only if the indebtedness falls into specified
debt baskets, including, for example, a credit agreement debt basket, an existing debt basket, a
capital lease and purchase money debt basket, an intercompany debt basket, a permitted guarantee
debt basket, a hedging debt basket, a receivables transaction debt basket and a
31
Table of Contents
general debt basket. In addition, under the senior secured floating rate notes
indenture, Pregis is permitted to incur first priority secured debt only if the ratio of Secured
Indebtedness to Consolidated Cash Flow on a pro forma basis (referred to in the senior secured
floating rate notes indenture as the Secured Indebtedness Leverage Ratio) is equal to or less
than 3:1, plus $50 million. Second, the restricted payment covenant provides that Pregis may
declare certain dividends, or repurchase equity securities, in certain circumstances only if
Pregiss Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio is greater than 2:1.
As used in the calculation of the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio and the Secured Indebtedness
Leverage Ratio, Consolidated Cash Flow, commonly referred to as Adjusted EBITDA, is calculated by
adding Consolidated Net Income, income taxes, interest expense, depreciation and amortization and
other non-cash expenses, amounts paid pursuant to the management agreement with AEA Investors LP,
and the amount of any restructuring charge or reserve (including, without limitation, retention,
severance, excess pension costs, contract termination costs and cost to consolidate facilities and
relocate employees). In calculating the ratios, Consolidated Cash Flow is further adjusted by
giving pro forma effect to acquisitions and dispositions that occurred in the prior four quarters,
including certain cost savings and synergies expected to be obtained in the succeeding twelve
months. In addition, the term Net Income is adjusted to exclude any gain or loss from the
disposition of securities, and the term Consolidated Net Income is adjusted to exclude, among other
things, the non-cash impact attributable to the application of the purchase method of accounting in
accordance with GAAP, the cumulative effect of a change in accounting principles, and other
extraordinary, unusual or nonrecurring gains or losses. While the determination of appropriate
adjustments is subject to interpretation and requires judgment, we believe the adjustments listed
below are in accordance with the covenants discussed above.
The following table sets forth the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio, Consolidated Cash Flow
(Adjusted EBITDA), Secured Indebtedness Leverage Ratio, Fixed Charges and Secured Indebtedness as
of and for the twelve months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010:

The Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio is primarily affected by increases or decreases in the
Companys trailing twelve month Consolidated Cash Flow (Adjusted EBITDA) and increases or decreases
in the Companys interest expense (interest expense net of interest income, excluding amortization
of deferred financing fees and discount). Interest expense as used in this ratio is primarily
affected by changes in interest rates (LIBOR and EURIBOR) and currency translation related to
converting euro based interest expense into US dollars. The favorable impact resulting from lower
interest rates, for the comparable twelve month periods ending March 31, 2011 and 2010, has been
more than offset by the decrease in the Companys trailing twelve month Consolidated Cash Flow over
the same period, resulting in a reduction in the actual ratio. As of March 31, 2011, the
Companys Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio was less than 2:0. As a result the Companys ability to
borrow money was limited to its available debt baskets, including among others a $220 million
credit facility basket, a $25

million general basket (which has been used in part in order to incur
debt under Pregiss ABL credit facility), and a $15 million capital lease basket.
Adjusted EBITDA is calculated under the indentures governing our senior secured floating rate
notes and senior subordinated notes for the twelve months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010 as follows:

In the three months ended March 31, 2010, we have adjusted for approximately $3.0 million relating to pre-acquisition earnings relating to the acquisition of IntelliPack. There can be no assurance that we will be able to achieve these comparable earning in the future. |
Local lines of credit. From time to time, certain of our foreign businesses utilize various
lines of credit in their operations. These lines of credit are generally used as overdraft
facilities or for the issuance of trade letters of credit and are in effect until cancelled by one
or both parties. As of March 31, 2011, we
33
Table of Contents
had availability of $1.5 million on these lines and
outstanding trade letters of credit and guarantees totaling $3.6 million.
Long-term Liquidity. We believe that cash flow generated from operations, existing cash
balances, and our borrowing capacity will be adequate to meet our obligations and business
requirements for the next twelve months. There can be no assurance, however, that our business
will generate sufficient cash flow from operations, that anticipated net sales growth and operating
improvements will be realized or that future borrowings will be available under Pregiss senior
secured credit facilities in an amount sufficient to enable us to service our indebtedness or to
fund our other liquidity needs. Our ability to meet our debt service obligations and other capital
requirements, including capital expenditures, and to continue to comply with the covenants
contained in our debt instruments, will depend upon our future performance which, in turn, will be
subject to general economic, financial, business, competitive, legislative, regulatory and other
conditions, many of which are beyond our control. Some other risks that could materially adversely
affect our ability to meet our debt service obligations and comply with our debt covenants include,
but are not limited to, risks related to increases in the cost of resin, our ability to protect our
intellectual property, rising interest rates, a decline in the overall U.S. and European economies,
weakening in our end markets, the loss of key personnel, our ability to continue to invest in
equipment, and a decline in relations with our key distributors and dealers. In addition, any of
the other items discussed in the Risk Factors, included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the
year ended December 31, 2010 may also significantly impact our liquidity and covenant compliance.
CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ESTIMATES
In accordance with ASC 350, the Company assesses the recoverability of goodwill and other
indefinite lived intangibles assets annually as of October 1, or whenever events or changes in
circumstances indicate that the carrying value of such assets may not be recoverable.
The goodwill impairment test is performed at the reporting unit level. A reporting unit is an
operating segment or one level below an operating segment (referred to as a component). A
component is considered a reporting unit for purposes of goodwill testing if the component
constitutes a business for which discrete financial information is available and segment management
regularly reviews the operating results of that component. As such, we have tested for goodwill
impairment at the component level within our Specialty Packaging reporting segment, represented by
each of the businesses included within this segment. We also tested goodwill for impairment at
each of the operating segments which have been aggregated to comprise our Protective Packaging
reporting segment.
We use a two-step process to test goodwill for impairment. First, the reporting units fair
value is compared to its carrying value. Fair value is estimated using primarily a combination of
the income approach, based on the present value of expected future cash flows and the market
approach. If a reporting units carrying amount exceeds its fair value, an indication exists that
the reporting units goodwill may be impaired, and the second step of the impairment test would be
performed. The second step of the goodwill impairment test is used to measure the amount of the
impairment loss, if any. In the second step, the implied fair value of the reporting units
goodwill is determined by allocating the reporting units fair value to all of its assets and
liabilities other than goodwill in a manner similar to a purchase price allocation. The implied
fair value of the goodwill that results from the application of this second step is then compared
to the carrying amount of the goodwill and an impairment charge would be recorded for the
difference if the carrying value exceeds the implied fair value of the goodwill.
At interim periods, the Company assesses if potential indicators of impairment exist.
Among the factors the Company considers as potential indicators of interim impairment are
significant adverse changes in legal factors or business climate, an adverse action or assessment
by a regulator, unanticipated competition, loss of key personnel, or a more-likely-than-not
expectation that a reporting
34
Table of Contents
unit or a significant portion of a reporting unit will be sold or
otherwise disposed of, recent operating losses at the reporting unit level, downward revisions to
forecasts, restructuring actions or plans, and industry trends. The Company did not identify any
interim indicators of impairment as of March 31, 2011.
Although the Company determined that there were no indicators of impairment as of March 31,
2011, it is possible that the future occurrence of potential indicators of impairment could require
an interim assessment for some or all of the Companys reporting units prior to its next required
annual assessment. In such circumstances, the Company may be required to recognize non-cash
impairment charges which could be material to the Companys consolidated financial position and
results of operations. Such non-cash impairment charges would not have a material adverse impact
on the Companys ability to comply with its debt covenants, as such charges are specifically
excluded from its covenant calculations.
Our financial statements are prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles in the United States, which require management to make estimates, judgments and
assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes.
While our estimates and assumptions are based on our knowledge of current events and actions we may
undertake in the future, actual results may ultimately differ from these estimates and assumptions.
We have discussed those estimates that we believe are critical and require the use of complex
judgment in their application in our 2010 Annual Report on Form 10-K. Since the date of our 2010
Form 10-K, there have been no material changes to our critical accounting policies or the
methodologies or assumptions we apply under them.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
Our exposure to market risk has not materially changed since December 31, 2010. For a
discussion of our exposure to market risk, see our 2010 Annual Report on Form 10-K.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures
The Company carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of the
Companys management, including the Chief Executive Officer (its principal executive officer) and
the Chief Financial Officer (its principal financial officer), of the effectiveness of the design
and operation of the Companys disclosure controls and procedures as of March 31, 2011. Based upon
that evaluation, our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial
Officer, concluded that as of March 31, 2011 the Companys disclosure controls and procedures (as
defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) are
effective. In addition, there has been no
change in the Companys internal control over financial reporting during the most recent
fiscal quarter that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the
Companys internal control over financial reporting.
PART II OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. Legal Proceedings
We are party to various lawsuits, legal proceedings and administrative actions arising out of
the normal course of our business. While it is not possible to predict the outcome of any of these
lawsuits, proceedings and actions, management, based on its assessment of the facts and
circumstances now known, does not believe that any of these lawsuits, proceedings and actions,
individually or in the aggregate, will have a material adverse effect on our financial position or
that it is reasonably possible that a loss exceeding amount already recognized may be material.
However, actual outcomes may be different than expected and could have a material effect on our
results of operations or cash flows in a particular period.
