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 2005, 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, 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 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 2005, 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, or OEMs, 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
Cedarwayâ trade name.
Profile Extrusion, which accounted for approximately 8% of our net sales in 2005, is a
manufacturer of custom extruded
-4-
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.
Industry Overview
Plastic Films. We participate in the flexible plastic films industry, which generated
approximately 13.0 billion pounds in 2004, according to a 2005 industry report from The Freedonia
Group. 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 film industry, we manufacture single 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, 2004 demand for stretch
film was 1.4 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. Demand for custom
film grew at a similar rate to 4.9 billion pounds, driven by the cost and performance advantages of
flexible packaging over other packaging forms, according to the Flexible Packaging Association 2005
State of the Industry Report.
Injection Molding. Injection molding is among the most widely utilized industrial plastic
processes, generating market demand of approximately $30.2 billion in revenue in 2004 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 we have substantial opportunities to expand our customer base and
deepen our market penetration. We are focused on increasing sales to new and existing customers by
continuously improving existing products and expanding our product offerings through innovation. We
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. We
continue to increase our penetration of the recreational vehicle and manufactured housing markets
by enhancing our position as a low cost provider and introducing new proprietary products. We are
focused on expanding our customer base in our Plastic Films segment through the enhancement of
customer service and the introduction of customized film structures.
Expand Product Offerings. We have a history of new product development, and we plan to
continue our successful product development efforts across all of our businesses. In particular, we
will dedicate additional resources to expand our Injection Molding segment, where we believe there
is an excellent opportunity to increase net sales and improve overall margin, and we expect to
introduce new proprietary products in our Profile Extrusion segment, including continuing expansion
of extruded accessories for the siding industry. We also plan to enhance our sales and distribution
efforts in this business. Since the introduction of our cedar shake products in 2000, net sales
from building products have grown from $0.7 million in 2000 to $27.4 million for 2005.
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 believe we can 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
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.
-5-
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 Film. 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 Proflextm 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. Proflextm 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. |
|
|
|
|
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. |
-6-
|
|
|
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 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 produce and stock recreational vehicle components, and have grown our
portfolio of building product related offerings. The following are among the divisions largest
volume products:
|
|
|
Double-Utility Trim. Double-utility trim is used in the siding industry and is
manufactured under an exclusive licensing agreement. |
|
|
|
|
PLY-J and Flex-Flash. PLY-J flexible J channel siding trim and Flex-Flash flexible
drip edge flashing products were developed to seal and finish round top windows. These
products offer built-in mildew, mold and UV inhibitors, are easy to cut and install, and
are manufactured in a variety of colors for convenience. We trademarked the PLY-J name in
1998 and received a patent on the Flex-Flash design in 1999. |
|
|
|
|
Fluted Outside Corner. The Fluted outside corner is an extruded building component used
primarily in the remodeling industry. This product is manufactured in a white color and
has a highly defined and elegant look. |
Sales and Marketing
Stretch Films. Under the Linear brand name, we sell stretch film 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.
Custom Films. We market specialty custom films for direct sale to end users, as well as
through distributors, with a majority of the divisions sales completed on an order-by-order basis.
Our Custom Films sales and marketing personnel work closely with our 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 the markets it
serves.
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, or 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 a nationally recognized distribution and
manufacturers representative organization serving the building construction industry.
Profile Extrusion. In-house sales personnel who oversee a network of independent sales
representatives conduct the
-7-
Profile Extrusion divisions marketing and sales activities. These representatives call on a
diversified customer base in 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 Sapulpa, 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.
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.
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.
Injection Molding. We operate molding presses ranging from 30 to 1,000 tons 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 12 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 butabiene styrene, 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. 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 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.
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 2005. See Item 1A, Risk
Factors. Our financial performance is dependent on raw material prices and our ability to pass on
price increases to customers.
-8-
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 cost, quality, and service levels. We
believe that Profile Extrusion successfully competes based on its competitive cost structure, high
service levels, strong production capabilities and efficiencies, and broad geographic reach.
Backlog
Our total backlog at December 31, 2005 was approximately $20.5 million, compared with
approximately $29.1 million at December 31, 2004. 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.

products under non-exclusive licenses granted by ExxonMobil Corporation, which are coterminous with
the duration of ExxonMobils underlying patents.
-9-
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 health and prevent us from
fulfilling future obligations.
As of February 28, 2006 we had $211.8 million of outstanding indebtedness, approximately $0.1
million in cash and cash equivalents and an additional approximate $9.1 million of unused
availability under our credit facilities, net of outstanding letters of credit of $1.6 million.
Our substantial indebtedness could have negative consequences. For example, it could:
|
|
|
increase our vulnerability to general adverse economic and industry conditions; |
|
|
|
|
require us to dedicate 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; |
|
|
|
|
limit 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; |
|
|
|
|
place us at a competitive disadvantage compared to our competitors that have less debt; and |
|
|
|
|
limit our ability to borrow additional funds. |
In addition, our credit agreements contain financial and other restrictive covenants that
limit our ability to engage in activities that may be in our long term best interests. Our failure
to comply with those covenants could result in an event of default which, if not cured or waived,
could result in the acceleration of all of our debts.
We face intense competition that could result in our losing or failing to gain market share and
adversely affect our results of operations.
-10-
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 12% of our net sales in 2005, and the loss of sales to
that customer could harm our business, financial condition and results of operations.
Sales to Whirlpool Corporation accounted for 12% of our net sales in 2005. 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.
-11-
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.
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
-12-
currently in substantial compliance with these laws and regulations. However, there is 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, 2005, Earl Powell, our Chairman of the Board, holds approximately 47.2% 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.

ITEM 7. 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 2005, 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 2005, 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 2005, 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, 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 the provisions established, 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
-17-
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 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. An impairment loss would be recognized
based on the difference between the carrying value of the asset and its estimated fair value, which
would be determined based on either discounted future cash flows or other appropriate valuation
methods.
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 $51.4 million (net of
accumulated amortization of $22.5 million) at December 31, 2005 and 2004. Based upon our analysis,
we have determined there are no indicators of an impairment of goodwill as of December 31, 2005 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 revenue,
operating results, and cash flow could cause these assets to be deemed impaired. If this were to
occur, we would be required to charge to earnings the write-down in value of such assets, which
could have a material adverse effect on its results of operations and financial position.
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, significant differences
in actual experience or significant changes in assumptions may have a material effect on our group
health insurance and workers compensation costs.
Net sales, gross profit, and operating income for each of our business segments, and our
Plastic Films segment volume, were as follows (in thousands):

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 weakness in the RV 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, the Company 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,
or 7% of net sales, in 2005, compared with $23.8 million, or 7% of net sales, in 2004. Net income
and earnings per share amounts were as follows:

Comparison of Years Ended December 31, 2004 and 2003
Net Sales
Net sales increased to $347.8 million in 2004, compared with $289.1 million in 2003, a
20% increase. Net sales for our Plastic Films segment increased to $222.2 million in 2004, compared
with $186.4 million in 2003, a 19% increase. This increase was the result of a 10% increase in
sales volume (measured in pounds) as well as increases in average selling prices in 2004. Net sales
for our Injection Molding segment increased to $99.9 million in 2004, compared with $81.3 million
in 2003, a 23% increase. This increase was the result of growth within both the segments building
products business and custom injection molded products business. Net sales for our Profile
Extrusion segment increased to $25.7 million in 2004, compared with $21.3 million in 2003, a 21%
increase. This increase was primarily attributable to increased demand in both the manufactured
housing and office furniture sectors.
Gross Profit
Gross profit, as a percentage of net sales, remained flat at 16% in 2004, when compared
with 2003. During 2004, our Plastic Films segment experienced volatility in raw material prices
with average raw material prices increasing 13%. Despite the volatility in raw material prices,
our Plastic Films segments gross margin remained steady at 16% in 2004 compared with 2003, due to
our ability to pass through raw material cost increases. In our Injection Molding segment, gross
margin increased to 16% in 2004, compared with 15% in 2003. This increase was primarily due to
growth within the building products and custom molded products businesses. Our Profile Extrusion
segments gross margin decreased to 23% in 2004 from 24% in 2003. This decrease can be attributed
primarily to increases in raw material costs, which were not fully passed through to customers.
Selling, General and Administrative Expense
Our selling, general and administrative (SG&A) expense increased to $32.7 million in
2004 compared with $28.4 million in 2003. SG&A expenses as a percentage of net sales decreased in
2004 to 9% from 10% in 2003. The increase was primarily the result of increases in incentive and
other compensation costs.
Net Interest Expense and Income Taxes
Interest expense, net of interest income, decreased 3% to $5.6 million in 2004 from $5.8
million in 2003. The decrease was the result of lower average borrowings and lower average interest
rates in 2004.
Our effective income tax rate was 37% for both 2004 and 2003. The effective income tax rate
differed from the applicable federal statutory rate due to the effect of state income taxes.
Income
As a result of the factors described above, operating income increased to $23.8 million,
or 7% of net sales, in 2004, compared with $18.5 million, or 6% of net sales, in 2003. Net income

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
At December 31, 2005, we had $199.2 million of outstanding indebtedness, $0.2 million of
cash and cash equivalents and an additional $22.1 million of unused availability under the credit
facility in place, net of outstanding letters of credit of approximately $1.6 million. Our
principal needs for liquidity, on both a short and long-term basis, relate to working capital
(principally accounts receivable and inventories), debt service, and capital expenditures. Our
working capital, defined as current assets less current liabilities, at December 31, 2005 totaled
$59.9 million (including cash and cash equivalents of $0.2 million), compared with $45.0 million
(including cash and cash equivalents of $0.1 million) at December 31, 2004.
On January 31, 2005, we agreed to cancel certain outstanding stock options of Anthony F. Bova,
President and Chief Executive Officer, which would have otherwise expired on that date. In exchange
for the cancellation of his 350,000 shares, Mr. Bova received a cash payment of approximately $2.4
million on the date of the special dividend payment. The purpose of this option cancellation
agreement was to provide Mr. Bova with a payment similar to the dividend he would otherwise have
received on the shares had Mr. Bova exercised the options that were cancelled.
On March 11, 2005, we agreed to cancel the outstanding stock options of certain of our
management, officers and directors (the Optionees) for cash payments of approximately $2.0
million in aggregate in anticipation of the one-time dividend payment. The purpose of the option
cancellation arrangements was to provide each Optionee with a payment similar to the dividend he or
she would otherwise have received on the shares issuable upon the exercise of the options to be
cancelled. Accordingly, on April 8, 2005, we cancelled an aggregate of 228,800 outstanding stock
options previously granted to the Optionees.
On March 22, 2005, our Board of Directors declared a special, one-time cash dividend of $12.50
per common share, which was paid April 8, 2005, to shareholders of record as of April 1, 2005. This
dividend aggregated approximately $103.2 million and was funded by the proceeds from the credit
agreement entered into on March 22, 2005.
As a result of the option cancellations described above, we recorded related compensation
expense in the amount of $408,000 during fiscal 2005 in accordance with the provisions of SFAS
123R, Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123R, Share-Based Payment, which we adopted
on January 1, 2005. See Note 1 Stock-Based Compensation.
On March 22, 2005, we secured a new $220 million credit facility provided by a syndicate of
financial institutions. Substantially all of our assets are pledged as collateral under this Credit
Agreement. The proceeds of the Credit Agreement were used to repay then existing senior
secured debt of $83.9 million outstanding on March 22, 2005 and to pay related fees and expenses.
The remainder of the proceeds was used 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 these
options, both on April 8, 2005. Additionally, we incurred approximately $0.6 million of cash costs
associated with a financing effort that was not consummated during
January 2005. See Note 6
Long-term Debt.
Capital expenditures were $16.9 million compared with $12.9 million for the years ended
December 31, 2005 and 2004, respectively. We expect that our capital expenditures with aggregate
approximately $18.0 million in fiscal year 2006.
We presently do not have any other material commitments for future capital expenditures and
expect to meet our short and long-term liquidity needs with cash on hand, funds generated from
operations, and funds available under our senior credit facility.
Cash Flows from Operating Activities
Net cash provided by operating activities was approximately $8.8 million in 2005,
compared with $6.5 million in 2004. The difference between our net income in 2005 of $6.7 million
and our $8.8 million operating cash flow was primarily attributable to approximately $17.7 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. The difference
between our net income in 2004 of $11.5 million and our $6.5 million operating cash flow was
primarily attributable to approximately $11.3 million of depreciation expense and a $4.1 million
increase in accounts payable and accrued expenses offset by a $6.4 million increase in accounts
receivable, due to a higher level of sales, and a $13.7 million increase in inventories primarily
due to higher resin prices and a larger level of raw materials inventory.
Cash Flows from Investing Activities
Net cash used for investing activities totaled $16.9 million for 2005 compared with $22.3
million 2004. Net cash used for investing activities in 2005 related to the support, development
and enhancement of new and existing products, as well as facility upgrades and expansions. Net
cash used for investing activities in 2004 included $9.4 million for the purchase of
-21-
LaVanture and $12.9 million of capital expenditures primarily related to capacity expansion within
our building products and custom injection molding businesses.
We expect that our capital expenditures will aggregate approximately $18.0 million in fiscal
2006. This amount is comprised of approximately $11.5 million to fund expansion and $6.5 million
for maintenance capital expenditures.
Cash Flows from Financing Activities
Net cash provided by financing activities was $8.2 million in 2005, compared with $12.8
million in 2004. Net cash provided by financing activities in 2005 reflects net repayments of
$15.9 million under our senior credit facilities, proceeds of $195.0 million from our new
Credit Agreement entered into on March 22, 2005, payment of $6.8 million of deferred financing
costs associated with the new Credit Agreement and a financing effort that was not consummated,
payment of a $103.2 million special dividend, total repayment of
term loans of $71.1 million, net
proceeds of $3.5 million from bonds issued, proceeds from the exercise of stock options of $2.5
million, an income tax benefit of $3.7 million relating to the option exercises and cancellations,
and repayments of notes receivable from shareholders of $0.5 million. Net cash provided by
financing activities in 2004 reflects net borrowings of $10.5 million under our credit facilities,
proceeds from the exercise of stock options of $1.0 million, a related income tax benefit of $0.5
million, and repayments of notes receivable from shareholders of $0.8 million.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements
On December 16, 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Statement
of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123R, Share-Based Payment (SFAS 123R), which is a
revision of FASB Statement No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation and supersedes
Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees. SFAS 123R
requires all share-based payments, including stock options, to be recognized in the income
statement based on their fair values. Pro forma disclosure will no longer be an alternative. SFAS
123R permits companies to adopt its requirements using one of two methods: (1) a 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, and (2) a modified
retrospective method which includes the requirements of the modified prospective method, but also
permits entities to restate based on the amounts previously recognized under Statement 123 for
purposes of pro forma disclosures either (a) all prior periods presented or (b) prior interim
periods of the year of adoption.
We adopted SFAS 123R as of January 1, 2005 using the modified prospective method. The
adoption resulted in unrecognized compensation cost of approximately $461,000 as of January 1, 2005
related to unvested options as calculated using the Black-Scholes model. Recognition of such
compensation to expense was $53,000 for the period prior to our agreement to cancel all outstanding
options. Upon cancellation of the options, the remaining unrecognized compensation cost of
$408,000 was expensed (see also Note 10. New Accounting Standards). No further compensation
expense will be recognized related to share based payments until any new share based payments are
made.
Statement No. 151, Inventory Costs, an Amendment of ARB No. 43, Chapter 4 (SFAS 151),
amends ARB No. 43 to clarify that abnormal amounts of idle facility expense, freight, handling
costs, and wasted materials (spoilage) should be recognized as current-period charges. In
addition, this Statement requires that allocation of fixed production overheads to the costs of
conversion be based on the normal capacity of the production facilities. The provisions of this
Statement shall be effective for inventory costs incurred during fiscal years beginning after June
15, 2005. We have not adopted SFAS 151 as of December 31, 2005; however, we do not expect the
adoption of SFAS 151 to have a material effect on our consolidated financial statements.
The FASB recently issued Statement No. 154, Accounting Changes and Error Corrections, a
replacement of APB Opinion No. 20, Accounting Changes, and FASB Statement No. 3, Reporting
Accounting Changes in Interim Financial Statements. The Statement applies to all voluntary changes
in accounting principle, and changes the requirements for accounting for and reporting of a change
in accounting principle. Statement 154 is the result of a broader effort by the FASB to improve
the comparability of cross-border financial reporting by working with the International Accounting
Standards Board (IASB) toward development of a single set of accounting standards. Statement 154
requires retrospective application to prior periods financial statements of a voluntary change in
accounting principle unless it is impracticable. Opinion 20 previously required that most
voluntary changes in accounting principle be recognized by including in net income of the period of
the change the cumulative effect of changing to the new accounting principle. Statement 154 is
effective for accounting changes and corrections of errors made in fiscal years beginning after
December 15, 2005. Earlier application is permitted for accounting changes and corrections of
errors made occurring in fiscal years beginning after June 1, 2005. The Statement does not change
the transition provisions of any existing accounting pronouncements, including those that are in a
transition phase as of the effective date of this Statement.

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: On March 22, 2005, the Company replaced its then existing credit facility
and entered into a new financing agreement resulting in total variable rate-debt of $195.7 million
outstanding at December 31, 2005, compared with $87.7 million at December 31, 2004. Based on the
Companys variable-rate obligations outstanding at December 31, 2005, and December 31, 2004, 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. On June 6, 2005, the Company entered into an interest
rate swap contract, with a notional amount of $125.0 million, to effectively fix the interest rate
at 3.865% on a portion of its floating rate debt. The Company uses this interest rate swap
agreement to manage its exposure of interest rate changes on the Companys variable rate debt.
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 both
December 31, 2005 and December 31, 2004 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, 2005 and 2004, and the related consolidated statements of income, shareholders
(deficit) equity, and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2005.
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 audit 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,
2005 and 2004, and the consolidated results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the
three years in the period ended December 31, 2005, in conformity with accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States. Also, in our opinion, the related financial statement
schedule, when considered in relation to the basic 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 and custom
film products that include high-grade laminating films, 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 account balances 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. Historical credit losses
have been within our expectations and the provisions established.
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 impairment on an
annual basis as of October 1, 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. An impairment
loss would be recognized based on the difference between the carrying value of the asset and its
estimated fair value, which would be determined based on either discounted future cash flows or
other appropriate valuation methods. Reporting units are operational segments for which discrete
financial information is available and for which management regularly reviews the operating
results. The amount of goodwill allocated to a reporting unit is the excess of the fair value of
the acquired business (or portion thereof) to be included in the reporting unit over the fair value
assigned to the individual assets acquired and liabilities assumed that are assigned to the
reporting unit.
-32-
Specifically, the Company has goodwill in excess of the purchase price over the fair value of
identifiable assets and liabilities of acquired businesses of $51.4 million as of December 31, 2005
and 2004. These amounts are net of accumulated amortization of $22.5 million at both December 31,
2005 and 2004. Based upon its analysis, management has determined there are no indicators of
impairment of goodwill as of December 31, 2005 in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets.
The carrying amounts of goodwill as recorded at each of the Companys segments for the years
ended December 31, 2005 and 2004 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 30 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.
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 Earnings Per Share.
Stock-based compensation: Prior to January 1, 2005, the Company accounted for its stock-based
employee compensation plans under the recognition and measurement provisions of Accounting
Principles Board Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees (APB 25) and related
Interpretations, as permitted by FASB Statement No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation
(SFAS 123). No stock-based employee compensation cost was recognized in the income statement as
all options granted had an exercise price equal to the market value of the underlying common stock
on the date of grant. Effective January 1, 2005, the Company elected to early adopt the provisions
of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123R, Share-Based Payment (SFAS 123R), which
requires all share-based payments, including stock options, to be recognized in the income
statement based on their fair values and no longer allows pro forma disclosure as an alternative.
The Company adopted this statement based on the modified prospective method, in which
compensation cost is recognized beginning with the effective date (a) based on the requirements of
SFAS 123R for all share-based payments granted after the effective date and (b) based on the
requirements of SFAS 123R for all awards granted to employees prior to the effective date of SFAS
123R that remain unvested on the effective date. 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 years ended December 31, 2004 and 2003, as if the Company had
accounted for its employee stock options granted under the fair value method of SFAS 123.
-33-
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.
No stock options were granted in 2005 and 2004. The fair value of the options granted in 2003
was estimated at the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model with the following
weighted-average assumptions: dividend yield of 0%, volatility of 60%, risk-free interest rate of
3.53% and an expected life of six years for all grants.
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, including the expected stock price
volatility. 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 years ended December 31, 2004 and 2003 is as follows (in thousands, except per

Repair and maintenance expenses: Repair and maintenance expenses are expensed as incurred. Repair
and maintenance expenses for the years ended December 31, 2005, 2004 and 2003 were approximately
$1.4 million, $1.0 million and $1.0 million, respectively.
Advertising costs: The Company expenses all advertising costs as incurred. Advertising expenses
for the years ended December 31, 2005, 2004 and 2003 were approximately $108.6 thousand, $103.8
thousand and $63.8 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.
The Company currently utilizes the straight-line method for all deferred financing costs.
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
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States 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, 2005 and 2004 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, 2005 represented 30% of the Companys net accounts receivable, compared
with 33% as of December 31, 2004. At December 31, 2005, Whirlpool Corporations accounts receivable
balance was approximately $10.7 million, or 20% of the Companys total net trade accounts
receivable balance. At December 31, 2004, Whirlpool Corporations accounts receivable balance was
$9.8 million, or 23% of the Companys total net accounts receivable. Approximately 12%, 13% and 14%
of the Companys net sales in the years ended December 31, 2005, 2004, and 2003, 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 sheet at fair value. On the date the derivative contract is entered, 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 is engaged in an interest rate swap agreement
that is classified as a cash flow hedge. Changes in the fair value of derivatives that are
classified as a cash flow hedge are recorded in other comprehensive income (loss) until
reclassified into earnings at the time of settlement of the forecasted 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
-35-
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.
-36-
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
Statement No. 151, Inventory Costs, an Amendment of ARB No. 43, Chapter 4, amends ARB No.
43 to clarify that abnormal amounts of idle facility expense, freight, handling costs, and wasted
materials (spoilage) should be recognized as current-period charges. In addition, this Statement
requires that allocation of fixed production overheads to the costs of conversion be based on the
normal capacity of the production facilities. The provisions of this Statement shall be effective
for inventory costs incurred during fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2005. The Company has
not adopted SFAS 151 as of December 31, 2005; however, it does not expect the adoption of SFAS 151
to have a material effect on its consolidated financial statements.
The FASB recently issued Statement No. 154, Accounting Changes and Error Corrections, a
replacement of APB Opinion No. 20, Accounting Changes, and FASB Statement No. 3, Reporting
Accounting Changes in Interim Financial Statements. The Statement applies to all voluntary changes
in accounting principle, and changes the requirements for accounting for and reporting of a change
in accounting principle. Statement 154 is the result of a broader effort by the FASB to improve
the comparability of cross-border financial reporting by working with the International Accounting
Standards Board (IASB) toward development of a single set of accounting standards. Statement 154
requires retrospective application to prior periods financial statements of a voluntary change in
accounting principle unless it is impracticable. Opinion 20 previously required that most
voluntary changes in accounting principle be recognized by including in net income of the period of
the change the cumulative effect of changing to the new accounting principle. Statement 154 is
effective for accounting changes and corrections of errors made in fiscal years beginning after
December 15, 2005. Earlier application is permitted for accounting changes and corrections of
errors made occurring in fiscal years beginning after June 1, 2005. The Statement does not change
the transition provisions of any existing accounting pronouncements, including those that are in a
transition phase as of the effective date of this Statement.

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 contractual
purchase price of $10 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 SFAS 141. 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 goodwill of approximately
$4.2 million, which represents the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of the net
assets acquired. Under the terms of the purchase agreement, the Company recorded a holdback reserve
of approximately $500 thousand, of which $279 thousand and $101 thousand (as final consideration)
was paid to the former owners of LaVanture in August 2005 and January 2006, respectively. $63
thousand of the remaining balance was charged to goodwill, $28 thousand was charged to the
inventory reserves and $29 thousand as a reduction to the Companys deferred tax liability.

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.
Interest accrues on borrowings under the Credit Agreement at the prime rate or the London
Inter-bank Offered Rate (LIBOR), plus an applicable
margin, as defined. The applicable margin is .75% above the prime rate and 2.75% above LIBOR for both, the Senior Term Loan and the Revolver.
The applicable margin on the Junior Term Loan is 5.25% above the prime rate and 7.25% above LIBOR.
The interest rate (including the applicable margin) on the Companys outstanding LIBOR-based Senior
Term Loan at December 31, 2005 was 7.09%. The interest rate (including the applicable margin) on
the Companys outstanding LIBOR-based Junior Term Loan at December 31, 2005 was 11.62%. The
weighted average interest rate (including the applicable margin) on the Revolver balance
outstanding at December 31, 2005 was 7.32%. The 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. The Company is currently in compliance with
such restrictions and covenants. Additionally, on an annual basis, the Company is required to make
mandatory loan prepayments
-39-
from excess cash flow as defined in the Credit Agreement. Based on the calculation, the
Company was not required to make an excess cash flow payment for the year ended December 31, 2005.
During 2005, the Company entered into an interest rate swap contract to effectively fix the
interest rate on a portion of its floating rate debt. This interest rate swap contract had a
notional amount outstanding at December 31, 2005 of $125 million. 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 expires on June 6, 2008. 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. The fair value of the interest rate swap outstanding at
December 31, 2005 was a long-term asset
of approximately $2.5 million, and was recorded as part of other comprehensive income, net of
income taxes.
In November 2004, the Company amended its then existing credit agreement (the Old Credit
Agreement), to increase the credit facility from $110 million to $120 million, with a syndicate of
financial institutions. The Old Credit Agreement consisted of a $35 million revolving credit
facility, a Term Loan A with an original principal balance of $35 million and a Term Loan B with an
original principal balance of $40 million. The maturity dates of these loans ranged from December
2007 to December 2008. All of these loans were repaid with the proceeds from the Credit Agreement
in March 2005. In conjunction with the new Credit Agreement, the unamortized portion of deferred
financing costs related to the Old Credit Agreement of $3.8 million was written off in 2005.
Additionally, the Company expensed approximately $0.6 million of non-recurring financing costs
associated with a financing effort that was not consummated during January 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 thousand beginning in January 2006 through December
2011. Interest accrues on the Bonds at 5.15%.
The Company incurred deferred financing costs of approximately $5.9 million in connection with
the Credit Agreement and the issuance of the Bonds. These deferred financing costs are included in
other long-term assets in the accompanying balance sheet as of December 31, 2005 and are being
amortized to interest expense over the term of the related debt.
At December 31, 2005 and 2004, the Company had approximately $1.6 million in outstanding
letters of credit provided by a financial institution.
Under the Companys credit facilities as of December 31, 2005, scheduled maturities of

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 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 vested
ratably 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 will no longer authorize any loans to
directors or officers of the Company.

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
$846,000, $477,000 and $468,000 for the years ended December 31, 2005, 2004 and 2003, 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
-44-
recorded in the Companys 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, 2005. Total
Company contributions to the Deferred Compensation Plan were approximately $51,000 and $55,000 for
the years ended December 31, 2004 and 2003, respectively.
Note 13. Related Parties
Trivest Partners, LP (Trivest) and the Company have certain common officers, directors,
and shareholders. Management fees, expense allocations and reimbursements are paid to Trivest in
accordance with the management agreement between the Company and Trivest. At December 31, 2005 and
2004, the Company had accounts payable to Trivest of approximately $436 thousand and $410 thousand,
respectively. During the years ended December 31, 2005, 2004 and 2003, payments to Trivest were as

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
were entirely paid off during 2005. Pursuant to the regulations of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002,
the Company will no longer authorize any loans to directors or officers of the Company.
Note 14. Commitments and Contingencies
The Company is, from time to time, involved in routine litigation. No such litigation in
which the Company is presently involved is believed to be material to its financial condition or
results of operations.
The Company leases various office space, buildings, transportation, and production equipment
with terms in excess of one year. Total lease expense under these agreements for the years ended
December 31, 2005, 2004 and 2003 was approximately $4.2 million, $3.6 million and $3.2 million,
respectively.
