Note 3 — Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In June 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued FASB Interpretation No. (FIN) 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes,” which clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an enterprise’s financial statements in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes.” The interpretation prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return.

The Company adopted FIN 48 as of October 1, 2007. As a result of the adoption of FIN 48, the Company had no change to the liability for unrecognized tax benefits. The total gross liability for unrecognized tax benefits (excluding penalties and interest) was $2.3 million at October 1, 2007. To the extent these unrecognized tax benefits are ultimately recognized, they will impact the effective tax rate in future periods. The Company’s accounting policy is to recognize interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits as income tax expense. Accrued interest was $.8 million at October 1, 2007 and $.9 million at December 31, 2007. There were no penalties accrued. There was no material change to the amount of unrecognized tax benefits during the three months ended December 31, 2007. The Company or one of its subsidiaries files income tax returns in the United States Federal and various state jurisdictions. The Company is no longer subject to income tax examinations for any significant tax jurisdictions for any tax year before 2005.

In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 158, “Employers’ Accounting for Defined Benefit Pension and Other Postretirement Plans” (SFAS 158) which requires employers that sponsor defined benefit pension and postretirement benefit plans to recognize previously unrecognized actuarial losses and prior service costs in the statement of financial position and to recognize future changes in these amounts in the year in which changes occur through comprehensive income. As a result, the balance sheet reflects the funded status of those plans as an asset or liability. Additionally, employers are required to measure the funded status of a plan as of the date of its year-end statement of financial position and provide additional disclosures. On September 30, 2007, the Company adopted the provisions of SFAS 158 by recognizing the funded status of its defined benefit pension and postretirement benefit plans in the balance sheet. In addition, the Company will be required to measure the plan assets and benefit obligations as of the date of the year-end balance sheet by September 30, 2009. The Company is currently evaluating the impact the change in the measurement date will have on its consolidated financial statements and notes thereto.

In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements” (SFAS 157). SFAS 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. The Company is required to adopt SFAS 157 effective October 1, 2008 and is currently evaluating the impact of adopting SFAS 157 on its future results of operations and financial condition.

In September 2006, the FASB issued Staff Position No. AUG AIR-1, “Accounting for Planned Major Maintenance Activities” (FSP). This FSP prohibits the use of the accrue-in-advance method of accounting for planned major maintenance activities in annual and interim financial reporting periods and is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006. Prior to the adoption of this FSP, the Company determined its planned maintenance costs for the year and amortized these costs ratably throughout the year. On October 1, 2007, the Company began accounting for its planned major maintenance activities in accordance with FSP No. AUG AIR-1 by expensing the costs in the month in which they were incurred. The implementation of FSP No. AUG AIR-1 will not have any impact on the Company’s year end financial position or full year results of operations and cash flows as all maintenance costs incurred have been and continue to be expensed in the fiscal year in which the maintenance activity occurs. In accordance with FSP No. AUG AIR-1, the Company’s financial position, results of operations and cash flows for each quarter of the fiscal year ended September 30, 2007 were adjusted to apply the FSP retrospectively. The following financial statement line items as of and for the three month period ended December 31, 2006 were adjusted as follows(in thousands, except per share data):


Statement of Operations	As Originally						Effect of
Three Months Ended December 31, 2006	Reported			As Adjusted			Change

Changes in operating assets and liabilities		(11,297	)		(11,193	)		104

In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, “The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities, including an amendment of FASB Statement No. 115” (SFAS 159). SFAS 159 permits companies to choose to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair value that are not currently required to be measured at fair value and establishes presentation and disclosure requirements designed to facilitate comparisons between companies that choose different measurement attributes for similar types of assets and liabilities. The Company is required to adopt SFAS 159 effective October 1, 2008 and is currently evaluating the impact of adopting SFAS 159 on its future results of operations and financial condition.

Note 4 — Employee Benefit Plans

Components of Net Periodic Benefit Cost

The Company has five defined-benefit pension plans covering the majority of its hourly employees and also sponsors unfunded defined benefit postretirement health care plans covering substantially all salaried and hourly employees at Neenah and their dependents.

Net periodic benefit cost	$	198		$	237		$	70		$	61

Employer Contributions

For the three months ended December 31, 2007, $141 of contributions have been made to the defined-benefit pension plans. The Company presently anticipates contributing an additional $3,380 to fund its pension plans in fiscal 2008 for a total of $3,521.

Note 5 — Refinancing Transactions

On December 29, 2006, the Company repaid its outstanding indebtedness under Neenah’s then existing credit facility, repurchased all $133,130 of Neenah’s outstanding 11% Senior Secured Notes due 2010 through an issuer tender offer, retired $75,000 of Neenah’s outstanding 13% Senior Subordinated Notes due 2013 (the 13% Notes) by exchanging them for $75,000 of new 12 1/2% Senior Subordinated Notes due 2013 (the 12 1/2% Notes) in a private transaction, and issued a notice to redeem the remaining $25,000 of 13% Notes that remained outstanding after the initial exchange. The remaining 13% Notes were redeemed on February 2, 2007. To fund these payments and to provide cash for capital expenditures, ongoing working capital requirements and general corporate purposes, Neenah (a) issued $225,000 of 9 1/2% Senior Secured Notes due 2017 (the 9 1/2% Notes) and the $75,000 of 12 1/2% Notes and (b) entered into an amended and restated credit facility (the 2006 Credit Facility) providing for borrowings in an amount up to $100,000. The 12 1/2% Notes were issued in a related party transaction with a substantial stockholder of the Company in exchange for 13% Notes held by such stockholder.

As a result of the refinancing transactions discussed above, Neenah incurred $20,429 of debt refinancing costs in the year ended September 30, 2007. This amount consisted of a $12,917 tender premium paid to repurchase the 11% Senior Secured Notes, $5,940 to write off the unamortized portion of discount on the 11% Senior Secured Notes and $1,572 to write off the unamortized portion of deferred financing costs on the indebtedness existing prior to the refinancing.

Note 6 — Cost Reduction Actions

On November 16, 2007, the Company announced a restructuring plan to reduce costs and improve general operating efficiencies. The restructuring primarily consisted of salaried headcount reductions at the Company’s operating facilities. In connection with the restructuring plan, the Company incurred employee termination costs of $1,227, which were recognized as a charge to operations during the first quarter of fiscal 2008. The employee termination costs are presented as restructuring costs in the condensed consolidated statement of operations. During the first quarter of fiscal 2008, $244 of employee termination costs were paid, with the remaining $983 recorded in accrued wages and employee benefits in the condensed consolidated balance sheet. A majority of the employee termination costs relate to headcount reductions in the castings segment with a small portion attributable to the forgings segment.

Note 7 — Segment Information

The Company has two reportable segments, Castings and Forgings. The Castings segment manufactures and sells gray and ductile iron castings for the industrial and municipal markets, while the Forgings segment manufactures and sells forged components for the industrial market. The Other segment includes machining operations and freight hauling.

The Company evaluates performance and allocates resources based on the operating income before depreciation and amortization charges of each segment. The accounting policies of the reportable segments are the same as those described in the summary of significant accounting policies in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K. Intersegment sales and transfers are recorded at cost plus a share of operating profit. The following segment information is presented:

Note 3 — Recent Accounting Pronouncements

The Company adopted FIN 48 as of October 1, 2007. As a result of the adoption of FIN 48, the Company had no change to the liability for unrecognized tax benefits. The total gross liability for unrecognized tax benefits (excluding penalties and interest) was $2.3 million at October 1, 2007. To the extent these unrecognized tax benefits are ultimately recognized, they will impact the effective tax rate in future periods. The Company’s accounting policy is to recognize interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits as income tax expense. Accrued interest was $.8 million at October 1, 2007 and $.9 million at December 31, 2007. There were no penalties accrued There was no material change to the amount of unrecognized tax benefits during the three months ended December 31, 2007. The Company or one of its subsidiaries files income tax returns in the United States Federal and various state jurisdictions. The Company is no longer subject to income tax examinations for any significant tax jurisdictions for any tax year before 2005.

The Company is required to adopt SFAS 157 effective October 1, 2008 and is currently evaluating the impact of adopting SFAS 157 on its future results of operations and financial condition.

Note 5 — Refinancing Transactions

On December 29, 2006, the Company repaid its outstanding indebtedness under its then existing credit facility, repurchased all $133,130 of its outstanding 11% Senior Secured Notes due 2010 through an issuer tender offer, retired $75,000 of its outstanding 13% Senior Subordinated Notes due 2013 (the 13% Notes) by exchanging them for $75,000 of new 12 1/2% Senior Subordinated Notes due 2013 (the 12 1/2% Notes) in a private transaction, and issued a notice to redeem the remaining $25,000 of 13% Notes that remained outstanding after the initial exchange. The remaining 13% Notes were redeemed on February 2, 2007. To fund these payments and to provide cash for capital expenditures, ongoing working capital requirements and general corporate purposes, the Company (a) issued $225,000 of 9 1/2% Senior Secured Notes due 2017 (the 9 1/2% Notes) and the $75,000 of 12 1/2% Notes and (b) entered into an amended and restated credit facility (the 2006 Credit Facility) providing for borrowings in an amount up to $100,000. The 12 1/2% Notes were issued in a related party transaction with a substantial stockholder of the Company’s ultimate parent, NEI, in exchange for 13% Notes held by such stockholder.

As a result of the refinancing transactions discussed above, the Company incurred $20,429 of debt refinancing costs in the year ended September 30, 2007. This amount consisted of a $12,917 tender premium paid to repurchase the 11% Senior Secured Notes due 2010, $5,940 to write off the unamortized portion of discount on the 11% Senior Secured Notes and $1,572 to write off the unamortized portion of deferred financing costs on the indebtedness existing prior to the refinancing.

Note 7 — Subsidiary Guarantors

The following tables present condensed consolidating financial information as of December 31, 2007 and September 30, 2007 and for the three months ended December 31, 2007 and 2006 for: (a) Neenah and (b) on a combined basis, the guarantors of the 9¹/2% Notes due 2017 and the 12¹/2% Notes due 2013, which include all of the wholly owned subsidiaries of Neenah (“Subsidiary Guarantors”). Separate financial statements of the Subsidiary Guarantors are not presented because the guarantors are jointly, severally, fully and unconditionally liable under the guarantees, and the Company believes separate financial statements and other disclosures regarding the Subsidiary Guarantors are not material to investors.

Item 2.		Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

General

As used in this report, except as the context otherwise requires, the terms “NEI,” “Company,” “we,” “our,” “ours,” and “us” refers to Neenah Enterprises, Inc. and its direct and indirect subsidiaries, collectively and individually, as appropriate from the context. Except as the context otherwise requires, “Neenah” refers to our indirect subsidiary, Neenah Foundry Company, and its wholly-owned subsidiaries.

In addition to historical information, this Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations and other sections of this quarterly report include some “forward-looking statements” that involve risks and uncertainties that could cause our actual results to differ materially from those currently anticipated. Forward-looking statements give our current expectations or forecasts of future events. The words “expects,” “anticipates,” “intends,” “plans,” “believes,” “seeks,” “estimates” and similar expressions are generally intended to identify forward-looking statements. Factors that could cause our results to differ materially from current expectations include material disruptions to the major industries we serve; continued price fluctuations in the scrap metal market; increases in price or interruptions in the availability of metallurgical coke; regulatory restrictions or requirements; developments affecting the valuation or prospects of the casting and forging industries generally or our business in particular; the outcome of legal proceedings in which we are involved; and other factors described or referenced in our Form 10-K for the year ended September 30, 2007 or subsequent SEC filings. You should not place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which reflect our opinions only as of the date of this report. We undertake no obligation to publicly release any revisions to the forward-looking statements after the date of this document.

Recent Developments

Cost Reduction Actions.On November 16, 2007, we announced a restructuring plan intended to reduce costs and improve general operating efficiencies. The restructuring primarily consisted of salaried headcount reductions at the Company’s operating facilities. In connection with the restructuring plan, the Company incurred employee termination costs of approximately $1.2 million, on a pretax basis, which were recognized as a charge to operations during the first quarter of fiscal 2008.

Reverse Stock Split. On August 3, 2007, an amendment to NEI’s certificate of incorporation effected a 1-for-5 reverse stock split, among other things. All of the share and per share amounts in this filing have been retroactively restated to adjust for the reverse stock split.

Refinancing Transactions.On December 29, 2006, we repaid our outstanding indebtedness under Neenah’s then existing credit facility, repurchased all $133.1 million of Neenah’s outstanding 11% Senior Secured Notes due 2010 through an issuer tender offer, retired $75 million of Neenah’s outstanding 13% Senior Subordinated Notes due 2013 (the “13% Notes”) by exchanging them for $75 million of new 12 1/2% Senior Subordinated Notes due 2013 (the “12 1/2% Notes”) in a private transaction, and called for redemption all $25 million of Neenah’s 13% Notes that remained outstanding after the exchange for 12 1/2% Notes. The remaining 13% Notes were redeemed on February 2, 2007. To fund these payments and to provide cash for our capital expenditures, ongoing working capital requirements and general corporate purposes, Neenah (a) issued $225 million of new 9 1/2% Senior Secured Notes due 2017 (the “9 1/2% Notes”) and the $75 million of 12 1/2% Notes and (b) entered into an amended and restated credit facility (the “2006 Credit Facility”) providing for borrowings in an amount of up to $100 million. The 9 1/2% Notes were initially issued in a private offering that was not registered under the Securities Act, and were subsequently registered pursuant to an exchange offer in which the unregistered notes were exchanged for freely transferable notes. That exchange offer was completed on April 18, 2007. We refer to these actions collectively as the “Refinancing Transactions.”

New Mold Line.We are continuing to invest in a $54 million capital project to replace a 40-year-old mold line at our Neenah facility. Our new state-of-the-art mold line is expected to significantly enhance operating efficiencies, increase capacity and provide expanded molding capabilities for our heavy municipal products. As of December 31, 2007, $37.9 million (excluding capitalized interest of $1.6 million) had been spent on the new mold line project with approximately $16.1 million remaining to be spent to complete the project. Based on our current and projected level of operations, we anticipate that our operating cash flows and borrowings under the 2006 Credit Facility will be sufficient to fund this and other anticipated operational investments, including working capital and capital expenditure needs, over the remaining construction timeframe. We expect the new mold line to become operational in spring of 2008.

Order for Abatement at Gregg Facility.Due to neighborhood complaints, we were operating the Gregg facility under the terms of an order for abatement with the California South Coast Air Quality Management District (SCAQMD). Despite being in compliance with federal and state emission laws, the order required us to comply with certain operating parameters in an effort to reduce odors. Failure to operate within such criteria could have resulted in the SCAQMD suspending operations at the Gregg facility. The order expired on September 20, 2007 and Gregg is currently negotiating settlements with the SCAQMD regarding outstanding notices of violation (NOV’s). Gregg does not expect any issues in settling the NOV’s and is expecting to conclude negotiations in April 2008. We believe we are in compliance with all other operating requirements and that our actions have resulted in a substantial reduction in the intensity and frequency of downwind odors.

Results of Operations

The following discussions compare the results of operations of the Company for the three months ended December 31, 2007, to the results of the operations of the Company for the three months ended December 31, 2006.

Three months ended December 31, 2007 and 2006

Net sales.Net sales for the three months ended December 31, 2007 were $101.2 million, which were $16.1 million or 13.7% lower than the quarter ended December 31, 2006. The decrease was primarily due to reduced shipments of heavy-duty truck components and municipal products. Due to new emission standards that took effect January 1, 2007, heavy-duty truck production declined significantly in calendar year 2007 (which includes the first quarter of our fiscal year 2008), as many buyers of heavy-duty trucks accelerated purchases into calendar year 2006, artificially increasing our sales to customers in the heavy-duty truck market in calendar year 2006 (which includes the first quarter of our fiscal year 2007). As a result, sales of heavy-duty truck products were down approximately $16.5 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2008 from the first quarter of fiscal 2007. New housing starts declined in the first quarter of fiscal 2008 from the first quarter of fiscal 2007, reflecting softness in the overall housing sector. As a result of this and other related factors, sales of municipal products were down approximately $3.0 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2008 from the first quarter of fiscal 2007. Sales to other markets, primarily construction and agriculture equipment were up approximately $3.4 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2008 from the first quarter of fiscal 2007.

Cost of sales.Cost of sales for the three months ended December 31, 2007 were $87.7 million, a decrease of $11.2 million, or 11.3%, as compared to the quarter ended December 31, 2006. Cost of sales as a percentage of net sales increased to 86.7% for the three months ended December 31, 2007 from 84.3% for the three months ended December 31, 2006, primarily as a result of an approximately 17% increase in raw material unit costs, principally in the price of steel scrap and a decreased ability to absorb fixed costs due to lower production levels.

Gross profit.Gross profit for the three months ended December 31, 2007 was $13.5 million, a decrease of $5.0 million, or 27.0%, as compared to the quarter ended December 31, 2006. Gross profit as a percentage of net sales decreased to 13.3% for the three months ended December 31, 2007 from 15.8% for the three months ended December 31, 2006, primarily as a result of the increased raw material costs and a decreased ability to absorb fixed costs due to lower production levels as discussed above.

Selling, general and administrative expenses.Selling, general and administrative expenses for the three months ended December 31, 2007 were $9.0 million, an increase of $0.6 million, or 7.1%, as compared to the $8.4 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2006, primarily due to increased legal and professional fees incurred in the quarter ended December 31, 2007. Selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of net sales increased to 8.9% for the quarter ended December 31, 2007 from 7.2% for the quarter ended December 31, 2006.

Restructuring costs. The Company recorded $1.2 million of restructuring costs during the three months ended December 31, 2007. These costs consisted of employee termination costs incurred as a result of salaried headcount reductions at the Company’s operating facilities.

Amortization of intangible assets.Amortization of intangible assets was $1.8 million for the three months ended December 31, 2007 and 2006.

Operating income.Operating income was $1.5 million for the three months ended December 31, 2007, a decrease of $6.8 million from operating income of $8.3 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2006. As a percentage of net sales, the operating income decreased to 1.5% for the three months ended December 31, 2007 from 7.1% for the three months ended December 31, 2006. The decrease in operating income was due to the reduced sales volume, the increase in raw materials costs and employee termination costs.

Net interest expense.Net interest expense was $7.6 million for the three months ended December 31, 2007 compared to $8.2 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2006. The decrease in interest expense was the result of an increase in capitalized interest incurred on borrowings used to finance the new mold line, lower interest rates on borrowings in the first fiscal quarter 2008 compared to the first fiscal quarter 2007 and the termination of bond discount amortization as a result of the December 2006 Refinancing Transactions.

Debt Refinancing Costs.The Company recorded $20.4 million of debt refinancing costs during the quarter ended December 31, 2006 related to the Refinancing Transactions. This amount consisted of a $12.9 million tender premium paid to repurchase Neenah’s 11% Senior Secured Notes due 2010, $5.9 million to write off the unamortized portion of discount on Neenah’s 11% Senior Secured Notes and $1.6 million to write off the unamortized portion of deferred financing costs on Neenah’s indebtedness existing prior to the refinancing.

Income tax provision.The effective tax rate for the three months ended December 31, 2007 and 2006 was 37.9% and 39.0%, respectively. The decrease in the effective tax rate is primarily due to an increase in Federal income tax deductions available to manufacturers for qualified production activities.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

As of December 31, 2007 our outstanding indebtedness consisted of Neenah’s $225.0 million of outstanding 9¹/2% Notes, $1.4 million of capital lease obligations, Neenah’s $75.0 million of outstanding 12¹/2% Notes, and $32.2 million of borrowings outstanding under Neenah’s 2006 Credit Facility. Our primary sources of liquidity in the future will be cash flow from operations and borrowings under Neenah’s 2006 Credit Facility. We expect that ongoing requirements for debt service, capital expenditures, including Neenah’s new mold line, and other operating needs will be funded from these sources of funds.

2006 Credit Facility.The 2006 Credit Facility provides for borrowings in an amount up to $100.0 million and includes a provision permitting us from time to time to request increases (subject to the lenders’ consent) in the aggregate amount by up to $10.0 million with the increases to be funded through additional commitments from existing lenders or new commitments from financial institutions acceptable to the current lenders. The 2006 Credit Facility matures on December 31, 2011. Outstanding borrowings bear interest at rates based on the lenders’ Base Rate, as defined, or, if Neenah so elects, at an adjusted rate based on LIBOR. Availability under the 2006 Credit Facility is subject to customary conditions and is limited by our borrowing base determined by the amount of our accounts receivable, inventories and casting patterns and core boxes. Amounts under the 2006 Credit Facility may be borrowed, repaid and reborrowed subject to the terms of the facility. At December 31, 2007, we had approximately $32.2 million outstanding under the 2006 Credit Facility and had unused availability of $56.8 million.

Most of Neenah’s wholly owned subsidiaries are co-borrowers under the 2006 Credit Facility and are jointly and severally liable with Neenah for all obligations under the 2006 Credit Facility, subject to customary exceptions for transactions of this type. In addition, NFC Castings, Inc. (“NFC”), NEI’s immediate subsidiary, and Neenah’s remaining wholly owned subsidiaries jointly, fully, severally and unconditionally guarantee the borrowers’ obligations under the 2006 Credit Facility, subject to customary exceptions for transactions of this type. The borrowers’ and guarantors’ obligations under the 2006 Credit Facility are secured by first priority liens, subject to customary restrictions, in Neenah’s and the guarantors’ accounts receivable, inventories, casting patterns and core boxes, business interruption insurance policies, certain inter-company loans, cash and deposit accounts and related assets, subject to certain exceptions, and any proceeds of the foregoing, and by second priority liens (junior to the liens securing the 9¹/2% Notes) on substantially all of our and the guarantors’ remaining assets. The 9¹/2% Notes discussed below, and the guarantees in respect thereof, are equal in right of payment to the 2006 Credit Facility, and the guarantees in respect thereof.

The 2006 Credit Facility requires Neenah to prepay outstanding principal amounts upon certain asset sales, upon certain equity offerings, and under certain other circumstances. It also requires us to observe certain customary conditions, affirmative covenants and negative covenants including financial covenants and it requires us to maintain a specified minimum interest coverage ratio or specified fixed charge coverage ratio whenever our unused availability is less than $15.0 million. Non-compliance with the covenants could result in the requirement to immediately repay all amounts outstanding under the 2006 Credit Facility which could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations, financial position and cash flow. The 2006 Credit Facility also contains events of default customary for these types of facilities, including, without limitation, payment defaults, material misrepresentations, covenant defaults, bankruptcy and certain changes of ownership or control of NEI, Neenah, or NFC. We are prohibited from paying dividends, with certain limited exceptions, and are restricted to a maximum yearly stock repurchase of $1.0 million.

At December 31, 2007, we were in compliance with existing bank covenants.

9¹/2% Notes.The $225.0 million of outstanding 9¹/2% Notes will mature on January 1, 2017. The 9¹/2% Notes are fully and unconditionally guaranteed by Neenah’s existing and certain future direct and indirect wholly-owned domestic restricted subsidiaries. The 9¹/2% Notes and the guarantees are secured by first-priority liens on substantially all of Neenah’s and the guarantors’ assets (other than accounts receivable, inventory, casting patterns and core boxes, business interruption insurance policies, certain inter-company loans, cash and deposit accounts and related assets, subject to certain exceptions, and any proceeds of the foregoing) and by second-priority liens, junior to the liens for the benefit of the lenders under the 2006 Credit Facility, on Neenah’s and the guarantors’ accounts receivable, inventories, casting patterns and core boxes, business interruption insurance policies, certain inter-company loans, cash and deposit accounts and related assets, subject to certain exceptions, and any proceeds of the foregoing. Interest on the 9¹/2% Notes is payable on a semi-annual basis. Subject to the restrictions in the 2006 Credit Facility, the 9¹/2% Notes are redeemable at our option in whole or in part at any time on or after January 1, 2012, at the redemption price specified in the indenture governing the 9¹/2% Notes (104.750% of the principal amount redeemed beginning January 1, 2012, 103.167% beginning January 1, 2013, 101.583% beginning January 1, 2014 and 100.000% beginning January 1, 2015 and thereafter), plus accrued and unpaid interest up to the redemption date. Subject to certain conditions, until January 1, 2010, we also have the right to redeem up to 35% of the 9¹/2% Notes with the proceeds of one or more equity offerings at a redemption price equal to 109.500% of the face amount thereof plus accrued and unpaid interest. Upon the occurrence of a “change of control” as defined in the indenture governing the notes, Neenah is required to make an offer to purchase the 9¹/2% Notes at 101.000% of the outstanding principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest up to the purchase date. The 9¹/2% Notes contain customary covenants typical to this type of financing, such as limitations on (1) indebtedness, (2) restricted payments, (3) liens, (4) distributions from restricted subsidiaries, (5) sale of assets, (6) affiliate transactions, (7) mergers and consolidations and (8) lines of business. The 9¹/2% Notes also contain customary events of default typical to this type of financing, such as (1) failure to pay principal and/or interest when due, (2) failure to observe covenants, (3) certain events of bankruptcy, (4) the rendering of certain judgments or (5) the loss of any guarantee.

12¹/2% Notes.The $75.0 million of Neenah’s outstanding 12¹/2% Notes will mature on September 30, 2013. The 12¹/2% Notes were issued to Tontine Capital Partners, L.P. (“TCP”) in exchange for an equal principal amount of Neenah’s 13% Notes that were then held by TCP. The obligations under the 12¹/2% Notes are senior to Neenah’s subordinated unsecured indebtedness, if any, and are subordinate to the 2006 Credit Facility and the 9¹/2% Notes. Interest on the 12¹/2% Notes is payable on a semi-annual basis. Not less than five percent (500 basis points) of the interest on the 12¹/2% Notes must be paid in cash and the remainder (up to 7¹/2% or 750 basis points) of the interest may be deferred at our option. We must pay interest on any interest so deferred at a rate of 12¹/2% per annum. Neenah’s obligations under the 12¹/2% Notes are guaranteed on an unsecured basis by each of Neenah’s wholly owned subsidiaries. Subject to the restrictions in the 2006 Credit Facility and in the indenture for the 9¹/2% Notes, the 12¹/2% Notes are redeemable at our option in whole or in part at any time, with not less than 30 days nor more than 60 days notice, at 100.000% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest up to the redemption date. Upon the occurrence of a “change of control,” Neenah is required to make an offer to purchase the 12¹/2% Notes at 101.000% of the outstanding principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest up to the purchase date. The 12¹/2% Notes contain customary covenants typical to this type of financing, such as limitations on (1) indebtedness, (2) restricted payments, (3) liens, (4) distributions from restricted subsidiaries, (5) sale of assets, (6) affiliate transactions, (7) mergers and consolidations and (8) lines of business. The 12¹/2% Notes also contain customary events of default typical to this type of financing, such as, (1) failure to pay principal and/or interest when due, (2) failure to observe covenants, (3) certain events of bankruptcy, (4) the rendering of certain judgments or (5) the loss of any guarantee.

Under the new capital structure resulting from the Refinancing Transactions, we currently have no principal amortization requirements. We expect to use cash flow from operations and a portion of our unused availability under the 2006 Credit Facility to fund the new mold line described above under “Recent Developments.”

For the three months ended December 31, 2007 and December 31, 2006, capital expenditures were $14.3 million and $8.4 million, respectively. The increased level of capital expenditures for the three months ended December 31, 2007 includes $9.9 million (including capitalized interest of $0.6 million) for the new mold line at the Neenah location described above under “Recent Developments.” Capital expenditures for the three months ended December 31, 2006 included $4.9 million (including capitalized interest of $0.1 million) for the new mold line at the Neenah location.

Our principal sources of cash to fund our liquidity needs are net cash from operating activities, and borrowings under the 2006 Credit Facility. At December 31, 2007, we had approximately $32.2 million outstanding under the 2006 Credit Facility and had unused availability of $56.8 million. Net cash used in operating activities during the three months ended December 31, 2007 was $.7 million, a decrease of $9.8 million over net cash of $10.5 million used in operating activities during the three months ended December 31, 2006. The decrease in cash used in operating activities was primarily due to $12.9 million paid in the quarter ended December 31, 2006 for the tender premium to repurchase Neenah’s 11% Senior Secured Notes. Operating cash flows for the three months ended December 31, 2007 are not necessarily indicative of the operating cash flows that may be expected for the remainder of fiscal 2008, due to the seasonality of our business.

Future Capital Needs.We are significantly leveraged. Our ability to meet debt obligations will depend upon future operating performance which will be affected by many factors, some of which are beyond our control. We are proceeding with a major capital project to replace an existing mold line that is expected to enhance efficiency, increase capacity and provide expanded molding capabilities. Based on our current level of operations, we anticipate that our operating cash flows and borrowings under the 2006 Credit Facility will be sufficient to fund anticipated operational investments, including working capital and capital expenditure needs, for at least the next twelve months. If, however, we are unable to service our debt requirements as they become due or if we are unable to maintain ongoing compliance with certain covenants, we may be forced to adopt alternative strategies that may include reducing or delaying capital expenditures, selling assets, restructuring or refinancing indebtedness or seeking additional equity capital. There can be no assurances that any of these strategies could be effected on satisfactory terms, if at all.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

None.

Contractual Obligations

The following table includes the Company’s significant contractual obligations at December 31, 2007 (in millions):


			Less Than						More Than

Total contractual obligations	$	593.9	$	73.9	$	64.2	$	62.7	$	393.1

As of December 31, 2007, other than the new mold line commitments listed above, which comprise the committed portion at December 31, 2007 of the remaining $16.1 million budgeted for the completion of Neenah’s new mold line, the Company had no material purchase obligations other than those arising in the ordinary course of business related to inventories and property, plant and equipment, which generally have terms of less than 90 days. The Company also has long-term obligations related to its pension and post-retirement plans which are discussed in detail in Note 9 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended September 30, 2007. As of the most recent actuarial measurement date, the Company anticipates making $3.5 million of contributions to pension plans in fiscal 2008. Post-retirement medical claims are paid as they are submitted and are anticipated to be $0.5 million in fiscal 2008. As of October 1, 2007, the Company’s expected payment for significant contractual obligations now includes approximately $2.3 million of liabilities for unrecognized tax benefits associated with the adoption of FASB Interpretation No. 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes.” The Company cannot make a reasonably reliable estimate of the period of potential cash settlement for these liabilities for unrecognized tax benefits

Critical Accounting Estimates

There have been no changes in critical accounting estimates from those disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2007.

Accounting Changes

The Company adopted provisions of FASB Interpretation No. 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes” and FASB Staff Position No. AUG AIR-1, “Accounting for Planned Major Maintenance Activities” on October 1, 2007. See Note 3 to the Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements in this Form 10-Q for information regarding these accounting changes.

Item 3.Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

We are exposed to market risk related to changes in interest rates. We do not use derivative financial instruments for speculative or trading purposes.

Interest Rate Sensitivity.Although the 9¹/2% Notes and the 12¹/2% Notes are subject to fixed interest rates, the Company’s earnings are affected by changes in short-term interest rates as a result of its borrowings under the 2006 Credit Facility. As of December 31, 2007 the Company had $32.2 million outstanding under the 2006 Credit Facility. If market interest rates for such borrowings change by 1% during the remainder of the fiscal year ending September 30, 2008, the Company’s interest expense would increase or decrease by approximately $0.2 million. This analysis does not consider the effects of changes in the level of overall economic activity that could occur due to interest rate changes. Further, in the event of an upward change of such magnitude, management could take actions to further mitigate its exposure to the change. However, due to the uncertainty of the specific actions that would be taken and their possible effects, the sensitivity analysis assumes no changes in the Company’s financial structure.

Item 4.Controls and Procedures

Disclosure Control and Procedures.NEI’s and Neenah’s management, with the participation of the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer, have evaluated the effectiveness of NEI’s and Neenah’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)) as of the end of the period covered by

this report. Based upon such evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer have concluded that, as of the end of such period, NEI’s and Neenah’s disclosure controls and procedures are effective (i) in recording, processing, summarizing and reporting, on a timely basis, information required to be disclosed by NEI and Neenah in the reports that NEI and Neenah file or submit under the Exchange Act and (ii) to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports that NEI and Neenah file or submit under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to NEI’s and Neenah’s management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Internal Control Over Financial Reporting.There have not been any changes in NEI’s and Neenah’s internal control over financial reporting (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) during the fiscal quarter to which this report relates that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, NEI’s and Neenah’s internal control over financial reporting.
