Results of Operations

Net Sales

         The Company’s net sales for the quarter ended March 31, 2002 were $58.3 million, compared to $64.7 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2001. Atlantis Plastics Films’ volume (measured in pounds) for the quarter ended March 31, 2002 was 5% below the quarter ended March 31, 2001. Sales volume (measured in dollars) for the quarter ended March 31, 2002 decreased 19%, compared to the quarter ended March 31, 2001 as a result of the 5% volume decrease and the reduction in average selling prices caused by the decrease in resin prices.

         Net sales for the molded products business (measured in dollars) increased 12% for the quarter ended March 31, 2002, compared to the quarter ended March 31, 2001. The increase is primarily the result of volume increases to major customers as well as continued growth within the building products segment.

Gross Profit and Operating Profit

         Atlantis’ gross margin and operating margin for the quarter ended March 31, 2002 were 19% and 6% respectively, compared with 16% and 5% respectively, for the quarter ended March 31, 2001. In the plastic

Table of Contents

films segment, gross margin and operating margin were 18% and 5% respectively, for the quarter ended March 31, 2002, compared to 17% and 7% respectively, for the quarter ended March 31, 2001.

         In Atlantis’ Molded Products segment the 12% increase in sales volume resulted in improvements in both gross margin and operating margin. Gross margin and operating margin for the quarter ended March 31, 2002 were 21% and 9% respectively, compared to 15% and 5% respectively, for the quarter ended March 31, 2001.

Selling, General, and Administrative Expense

         The Company’s selling, general, and administrative (SG&A) expense increased to $7.2 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2002 from $6.5 million, excluding goodwill amortization of approximately 0.4 million, for the quarter ended March 31, 2001. The increase is primarily the result of both increased health and general insurance costs.

Net Interest Expense and Income Taxes

         Net interest expense for the quarter ended March 31, 2002 decreased to $ 1.9 million, compared to $2.6 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2001. Interest rates during the three-month period ending March 31, 2002 resulted in a lower average interest rate on the variable portion of debt, compared to the average variable interest rate for the three-month period ending March 31, 2001. In addition, the Company repurchased approximately $25.5 million of the 11% fixed rate Senior Notes during 2001. The repurchase was funded by new debt and borrowings under the revolving credit agreement at lower variable interest rates. Total debt increased to $89.8 million at March 31, 2002 from $88.9 million at December 31, 2001.

         The Company’s effective income tax rate in 2001 differed from the applicable statutory rate primarily due to nondeductible goodwill amortization.

Income

         As a result of the factors described above, operating income increased to $3.8 million (6% of net sales) during the quarter ended March 31, 2002, compared to $3.5 million (5% of net sales), including goodwill amortization of $0.4 million, for the quarter ended March 31, 2001. Net income and basic and diluted earnings per share for the quarter ended March 31, 2002 and 2001 were as follows:

                 
    2002   2001
   
 
Net income
  $1.2 million   $0.4 million
Basic earnings per share
  $ 0.15     $ 0.06  
Diluted earnings per share
  $ 0.15     $ 0.06  

Liquidity and Capital Resources

         At March 31, 2002, the Company had approximately $89.8 million of outstanding indebtedness, approximately $0.2 million in cash and cash equivalents, and an additional $4.7 million unused availability under its revolving credit facility, net of outstanding letters of credit of approximately $1.3 million. The revolving credit facility expires January 31, 2003, and there can be no assurance that the commitment will be renewed or extended, or that another source of financing will be available to the Company on satisfactory terms. As of April 26, 2002,

9


Table of Contents

borrowings on this facility totaled $23.0 million and unused availability, net of outstanding letters of credit of approximately $1.3 million, equaled $5.7 million. The Company’s principal needs for liquidity, on both a short and long-term basis, relate to working capital (principally accounts receivable and inventories), debt service, and capital expenditures. The Company presently does not have any material commitments for future capital expenditures.

         At March 31, 2002, the Company’s current portion of long-term debt increased by $50.8 million to $76.0 million from the balance of $25.2 million at December 31, 2001. This increase was primarily the result of the reclassification from long-term debt to current debt of the $49.3 million 11% Senior Notes due February 15, 2003. Atlantis is exploring alternatives to refinance its long-term debt, including the 11% Senior Notes.

         The Company’s high debt level presents substantial risks and could have negative consequences. For example, it could (1) require the Company to dedicate a substantial portion of its cash flow from operations to repayment of debt, limiting the availability of cash for other purposes; (2) increase the Company’s vulnerability to adverse general economic conditions by making it more difficult to borrow additional funds to maintain its operations if the Company suffers shortfalls in net sales; (3) hinder the Company’s flexibility in planning for, or reacting to, changes in its business and industry by preventing the Company from borrowing money to upgrade its equipment or facilities; and (4) limit or impair the Company’s ability to obtain additional financing in the future for working capital, capital expenditures, acquisitions, or general corporate purposes.

         In the event that the Company’s cash flow from operations is not sufficient to fund the Company’s expenditures or to service its indebtedness, the Company would be required to raise additional funds through the sale of assets or subsidiaries. There can be no assurance that any of these sources of funds would be available in amounts sufficient for the Company to meet its obligations. Moreover, even if the Company were able to meet its obligations, its highly leveraged capital structure could significantly limit its ability to finance its expansion program and other capital expenditures, to compete effectively, or to operate successfully under adverse economic conditions.

Cash Flows from Operating Activities

         For the quarter ended March 31, 2002, net cash provided by operating activities was approximately $1.3 million, compared to $4.6 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2001. The difference between the Company’s net income of $1.2 million and its $1.3 million operating cash flow for the quarter ended March 31, 2001 was primarily attributable to approximately $3.0 million of depreciation and amortization expense, and a $1.6 million decrease in other assets resulting primarily from the receipt of resin rebates offset by an approximately $2.9 million increase in accounts receivable due to increased net sales, a $1.4 million increase in inventories, and a $0.6 decrease in accounts payable and accrued liabilities.

Cash Flows from Investing Activities

         Net cash used in investing activities increased to $3.1 million in the quarter ended March 31, 2002, compared to $1.6 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2001. This increase was primarily the result of increased capital expenditures (net of dispositions).

Cash Flows from Financing Activities

         Net cash provided by financing activities for the quarter ended March 31, 2002 was $1.0 million, compared with net cash used in financing activities of $3.5 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2001. The Company’s financing cash flow for the quarter ended March 31, 2002 reflects net borrowings of $2.5 million

Table of Contents

under the revolving credit agreements and approximately $1.6 million in payments on long-term debt. This was partially offset by the receipt of approximately $0.1 million in interest due from shareholder notes.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

         In July 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 141, Business Combinations and No. 142, Accounting for Goodwill and Other Intangibles (“SFAS 141 and SFAS 142”). SFAS 141 eliminated the use of pooling for business combinations after June 30, 2001. Under SFAS 142 goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets are no longer amortized but are reviewed annually (or more frequently if impairment indicators arise) for impairment. Separable intangible assets such as our customer lists that are not deemed to have an indefinite life will continue to be amortized over their useful lives. Companies were required to immediately adopt the amortization provisions of SFAS 142 as it relates to goodwill and intangible assets acquired after June 30, 2001. On January 1, 2002, the Company adopted SFAS 142. The impact of the adoption as it relates to existing goodwill is expected to be a reduction of amortization expense of $1.8 million during the years ended December 31, 2002 and 2003. During the quarter ended March 31, 2002 the reduction to amortization expense was approximately $0.4 million.

         In October 2001, the FASB issued SFAS No. 144, Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets (“SFAS 144”). The Statement supersedes SFAS 121, Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to Be Disposed Of, and supersedes the provisions of APB Opinion 30, Reporting the Results of Operations-Discontinued Events and Extraordinary Items, with regard to reporting the effects of a disposal of a segment of a business. The Statement provides a single accounting model for long-lived assets to be disposed of and significantly changes the criteria required to classify an asset as held-for-sale. Under the Statement, more dispositions will qualify for discontinued operations treatment in the statement of income, which requires expected future operating losses from discontinued operations to be displayed in discontinued operations in the period in which the losses are incurred. The Statement is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2001. The Company does not expect at this time that the adoption of SFAS 144 will have a material impact on its financial statements.
