NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(unaudited)

1.       BASIS OF PRESENTATION

In the opinion of management, all adjustments necessary for the fair statement of comprehensive income (loss) for the three months ended March 31, 2013 and April 1, 2012, the cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 2013 and April 1, 2012 and financial position at March 31, 2013 and December 29, 2012 have been made. All adjustments made were of a normal recurring nature.

These condensed financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes of Paperweight Development Corp. (“PDC”) and its 100%-owned subsidiaries (collectively the “Company”), which includes the consolidated financial statements of Appleton Papers Inc. and its 100%-owned subsidiaries (collectively “Appleton”) for each of the three years in the period ended December 29, 2012, which are included in the annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 29, 2012. The consolidated balance sheet data as of December 29, 2012, contained within these condensed financial statements, was derived from the audited financial statements but does not include all disclosures required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

The results of operations for any interim period are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year.

During fourth quarter 2012, the Company adopted mark-to-market accounting for its pension and other postretirement benefit plans. Under mark-to-market accounting, all actuarial gains and losses are immediately recognized in net periodic cost annually in the fourth quarter of each year and whenever a plan is determined to qualify for a remeasurement during a fiscal year and, the market-related value of plan assets used in the cost calculations is equal to fair value. Under the Company’s previous accounting method, a portion of the actuarial gains and losses was deferred in accumulated other comprehensive loss on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet and amortized into future periods. In addition, the previous method smoothed the investment gains and losses of the plan assets over a period of five years. While the Company’s historical policy of recognizing pension and other postretirement benefits expense was considered acceptable under accounting priniciples generally accepted in the United States, the Company believes this new policy to be preferable as it eliminates the delay in recognizing actuarial gains and losses within operating results. This change will also improve the transparency within the Company’s operating results by immediately recognizing the effects of economic and interest rate trends on plan investments and assumptions in the year these actuarial gains and losses are actually incurred. All prior periods presented were retrospectively adjusted to reflect the period-specific effects of applying the new accounting policy.

In connection with this change in accounting policy for pension and other postretirement benefit plans, the Company also elected to change its method of accounting for certain costs included in inventory. The Company elected to exclude the amount of its pension and other postretirement benefit costs applicable to former employees from inventoriable costs. While the Company’s historical policy of including all pension and other postretirement benefits costs, excluding those charged directly to selling, general and administrative (“SG&A”) expenses, as a component of inventoriable costs was acceptable, it believes the new policy is preferable as inventoriable costs will only include costs that are directly attributable to current employees involved in the production of inventory. All prior periods presented were retrospectively adjusted to reflect the period-specific effects of applying the new accounting policy.

The effect of the accounting policy changes on the previously-reported results for the three months ended April 1, 2012 resulted in a $0.2 million larger net loss.

2.       RESTRUCTURING AND OTHER RELATED COSTS

 On February 22, 2012, the Company entered into a long-term supply agreement for the purchase of carbonless and thermal base stock for coating at the Company’s converting facilities. Under the terms of the agreement, the supplier will be the exclusive supplier of certain thermal and carbonless base stock used by the Company. The term of the agreement is 15 years and includes successive five-year renewal terms unless either party gives notice of non-renewal.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS – (Continued)

(unaudited)

 In connection with its approval of this supply agreement, the Company’s Board of Directors authorized a plan for the Company to dispose of papermaking assets at its West Carrollton, Ohio facility and move its carbonless coating to the Company’s converting plant in Appleton, Wisconsin. As a result, 314 jobs were eliminated at West Carrollton and 68 jobs added at the Appleton facility. The Company maintains its thermal coating operations at the West Carrollton facility. The Company recorded all associated restructuring expense and other related costs, totaling $106.0 million, during 2012. These include the following for the quarter ended April 1, 2012 (dollars in thousands):

			Location on Statement of Comprehensive Loss
Employee termination benefits	$	25,436	Restructuring
Accelerated depreciation		25,380	Cost of sales
Revaluation of inventory		9,961	Cost of sales
Loss on disposal of fixed assets		572	Cost of sales
	$	61,349

 Of the costs recorded during first quarter 2012, $33.7 million was allocated to the carbonless papers segment. In addition, $27.6 million was allocated to the thermal papers segment.

 The table below summarizes the components of the restructuring reserve included in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets as of March 31, 2013 and December 29, 2012.

	December 29, 2012 Reserve		2013 Additions to Reserve		2013 Utilization			March 31, 2013  Reserve
Exit costs – equipment decommissioning	$	765	$	-	$	-		$	765
Employee termination benefits		18,454		-		(350	)		18,104
	$	19,219	$	-	$	(350	)	$	18,869

 Employee termination benefits include severance as well as related benefits and pension costs. At March 31, 2013, $1.9 million of the total restructuring reserve was included in current liabilities and $17.0 million was included in other long-term liabilities. The Company expects any remaining charges for exit costs to be immaterial. It is estimated that cash of approximately $31 million remains to be paid as a result of ceasing papermaking operations at West Carrollton. Of this amount, it is expected that approximately $1 million will be paid during 2013. In addition, approximately $12 million will be disbursed over the next five years as a result of distributions from the Company’s stock fund to former West Carrollton employees terminated as a result of the restructuring. The remaining $18 million may be paid over the next five to 20 years.

8.       NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

In February 2013, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2013-04, "Obligations Resulting from Joint and Several Liability Arrangements for Which the Total Amount of the Obligation Is Fixed at the Reporting Date." This guidance requires an entity to measure obligations resulting from joint and several liability arrangements for which the total amount of the obligation within the scope of this guidance is fixed at the reporting date, as the sum of the following: (a) The amount the reporting entity agreed to pay on the basis of its arrangement among its co-obligors and (b) Any additional amount the reporting entity expects to pay on behalf of its co-obligors. The guidance also requires an entity to disclose the nature and amount of the obligation. ASU 2013-04 is effective for the Company's annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2013, though early adoption is permitted, and retrospective application is required for all prior periods presented. The Company is currently evaluating the effects, if any, the adoption will have on its consolidated financial statements.

In February 2013, the FASB issued ASU No. 2013-02, "Reporting of Amounts Reclassified Out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income." This update adds new disclosure requirements for items reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income. The updated standard is effective prospectively for the Company's annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2012. As required, the Company adopted this guidance beginning in the current quarter ended March 31, 2013 and the disclosures have been included in its condensed consolidated financial statements in Note 18, Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income.

In July 2012, the FASB issued ASU No. 2012-02, “Testing Indefinite-Lived Intangible Assets for Impairment.” It provides the option to perform a qualitative, rather than quantitative, assessment to determine whether it is more likely than not an indefinite-lived intangible asset is impaired. ASU 2012-02 is effective for annual and interim impairment tests performed for fiscal years beginning after September 15, 2012, though early adoption is permitted. As required, the Company adopted this guidance beginning in the current quarter ended March 31, 2013, and there was no impact to the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements as a result of adoption.

In December 2011, the FASB issued ASU No. 2011-11, “Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities”. It expands required disclosures related to the nature of an entity’s rights of setoff and related arrangements associated with its financial instruments and derivative instruments. It requires disclosure of net and gross positions in covered financial instruments and derivative instruments which are either (1) offset in accordance with ASC Sections 210-20-45 or 815-10-45, or (2) subject to an enforceable netting or other similar arrangement. To clarify the guidance provided in ASU 2011-11, the FASB issued ASU No. 2013-01, "Clarifying the Scope of Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities" in January 2013. It clarifies the scope of the guidance to include derivatives, repurchase and reverse repurchase agreements, and securities borrowing and lending transactions that are either offset in accordance with Section 210-20-45 or Section 815-10-45 or subject to master netting or similar arrangements. The amendments are effective for fiscal years beginning on or after January 1, 2013, and interim periods within those annual periods. The Company will be required to adopt this guidance as of its fiscal year beginning December 29, 2013 and is evaluating the effects, if any, the adoption will have on its consolidated financial statements.

9.      EMPLOYEE BENEFITS

The components of net periodic pension cost associated with the defined benefit pension plans include the following (dollars in thousands):

Pension Benefits	For the Three Months Ended March 31, 2013			For the Three Months Ended April 1, 2012
Net periodic benefit cost
Service cost	$	1,299		$	977
Interest cost		4,618			4,867
Expected return on plan assets		(6,029	)		(5,443)
Amortization of prior service cost		122			122
Net periodic benefit cost	$	10		$	523

The Company expects to contribute $12.5 million to its defined benefit pension plan in 2013. The Company contributed $5.0 million to the plan during the first three months of 2013.

Certain of the Company’s hourly employees participated in a multi-employer defined benefit plan, the Pace Industry Union-Management Pension Plan (EIN #11-6166763). Participants in this plan included the West Carrollton, Ohio represented manufacturing employees, where the collective bargaining agreement expired April 1, 2012, as well as the represented employees at the Kansas City, Kansas distribution center, where the collective bargaining agreement expired December 31, 2011. As a result of labor contracts ratified in June 2012 and September 2012, by the bargaining employees in Kansas City and West Carrollton, respectively, both groups elected to end their participation in this multi-employer plan and instead participate in the defined benefit pension plan sponsored by the Company. This resulted in a full withdrawal from the multi-employer plan, for which, the Company recorded a $7.0 million expense in third quarter 2012 representing its estimated cost to satisfy its complete withdrawal liability under the terms of the plan’s trust agreement. This was in addition to the $18.0 million partial withdrawal liability recorded during first quarter 2012 due to the workforce reduction at the West Carrollton, Ohio plant resulting from the cessation of papermaking activities. The estimated obligation for the complete withdrawal liability was derived from available information, including but not limited to collective bargaining agreements, plan trust agreements, participation agreements, ERISA statutes, regulations and rulings, discussions with the plan trustee and discussions with legal counsel. Based on the analysis of available information, it is reasonably possible that the Company’s costs to satisfy its withdrawal liability, when ultimately settled with the plan, could range from $16 million up to $54 million, with a payment period extending up to 20 years. The likelihood of an outcome in excess of the $25 million accrued amount is significantly less than other possible outcomes within the range primarily due to plan provisions that implement statutory limits on the amount of annual payments and the maximum number of payment periods.

10.      POSTRETIREMENT BENEFIT PLANS OTHER THAN PENSIONS

11.      LONG-TERM INCENTIVE COMPENSATION

In December 2001, the Company adopted the Appleton Papers Inc. Long-Term Incentive Plan (“LTIP”). Effective January 3, 2010, the Company adopted a long-term restricted stock unit plan ("RSU"). Both plans utilize phantom units. The value of a unit in the LTIP is based on the change in the fair market value of PDC’s common stock under the terms of the employee stock ownership plan (the “ESOP”) between the grant date and the exercise date. The value of a unit in the RSU is based on the value of PDC common stock, as determined by the ESOP trustee. All units under both the LTIP and RSU plans will vest immediately, and cash payment will be made, upon a change in control as defined in the plans.

On January 2, 2013, 160,000 RSU units became fully vested and exercisable. In accordance with the plan, payment for these RSUs was made on February 22, 2013. During first quarter 2013, 102,425 additional units were granted under the RSU plan. Due to terminations of employment, 3,500 unvested units were forfeited during the current year quarter. A balance of 207,925 RSU units remains as of March 31, 2013. Approximately $0.3 million and $0.2 million of expense, related to this plan, was recorded during each of the three-month periods ended March 31, 2013 and April 1, 2012, respectively. During the first three months of 2013, 189,100 additional units were granted under the LTIP plan. Approximately $0.2 million and $0.1 million of expense, related to this plan, was recorded during each of the three-month periods ended March 31, 2013 and April 1, 2012, respectively.

Beginning in 2006, the Company established a nonqualified deferred compensation agreement with each of its non-employee directors. Approximately $0.1 million was recorded as plan expense for each of the three-month periods ended March 31, 2013 and April 1, 2012.

12.      COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Lower Fox River

 Appleton Removed as a Potentially Responsible Party (“PRP”). On April 10, 2012, the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Wisconsin granted Appleton’s motion for summary judgment and dismissed all claims against Appleton in the enforcement action. The decision establishes that Appleton is no longer a PRP, no longer liable under the federal Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act, (“CERCLA” or “Superfund”), no longer considered a legal successor to NCR’s liabilities, and no longer required to comply with the 106 Order commanding remediation of the Lower Fox River. In addition, on July 3, 2012, the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Wisconsin determined that Appleton Coated Paper Company and NCR did not arrange for the disposal of hazardous waste within the meaning of CERCLA.

 The rulings do not affect Appleton’s rights or obligations to share defense and liability costs with NCR in accordance with the terms of a 1998 agreement and a 2005 arbitration determination (“the Arbitration”) arising out of Appleton’s acquisition of assets from NCR in 1978 while it was a subsidiary of B.A.T Industries Limited (“BAT”). Appleton and BAT have joint and several liability under the Arbitration. Appleton has initiated the dispute resolution procedures outlined in the 1998 agreement. Issues in dispute include the scope of Appleton’s liability under the agreement as well as funding requests and supporting documentation from NCR (the “Dispute Resolution”). The current carrying amount of Appleton’s liability under the Arbitration is $63.0 million, which represents Appleton’s best estimate of amounts to be paid for 2012 and 2013. On June 8, 2012, BAT served AWA with a claim filed in a United Kingdom court, seeking a declaration that BAT is indemnified by AWA from and against any losses relating to the Lower Fox River. On June 26, 2012, BAT served Appleton with the same claim, seeking a declaration that BAT is indemnified by Appleton. Appleton intends to vigorously defend against this claim and has filed an application challenging the jurisdiction of the United Kingdom court.

Prior to the ruling in the above enforcement action, the United States Environmental Protection Agency (“EPA”) and Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources (“DNR”) claimed Appleton was a PRP with respect to historic discharges of polychlorinated biphenyls (“PCBs”) into the Lower Fox River in Wisconsin. Carbonless paper containing PCBs was manufactured at what is currently the Appleton plant from 1954 until 1971. During this period, wastewater containing PCBs was discharged into the Lower Fox River from a publicly-owned treatment works, from the Combined Locks, Wisconsin paper mill and from other local industrial facilities. Wastewater from the Appleton plant was processed through the publicly-owned treatment works. Appleton purchased the Appleton plant and the Combined Locks, Wisconsin paper mill from NCR in 1978, long after the use of PCBs in the manufacturing process was discontinued. The EPA issued an administrative order in November 2007, directing the PRPs to implement the remedial action of the Fox River pursuant to which certain of the PRPs commenced remediation in 2008. The various PRPs, including NCR, the EPA and the DNR continue to contest the scope, extent and costs of the remediation as well as the appropriate basis for determining the parties’ relative shares of the remediation cost.

The rulings also do not affect either of the two indemnification agreements entered in 2001 wherein AWA agreed to indemnify PDC and PDC agreed to indemnify Appleton for costs, expenses and liabilities related to certain governmental and third-party environmental claims (including certain claims under the Arbitration), which are defined in the agreements as the Fox River Liabilities. Appleton has recorded a $63.0 million environmental indemnification receivable as of March 31, 2013.

Estimates of Liability. The accrued Arbitration liability is derived from available information, including consideration of uncertainties regarding the scope and cost of implementing the final remediation plan, the scope of restoration and final valuation of natural resource damage (“NRD”) assessments, the evolving nature of remediation and restoration technologies and governmental policies, NCR’s share of liability relative to other PRPs and the extent of BAT’s performance under the Arbitration. Appleton believes NCR has paid more than its estimated share of the liability based on the assumptions below. Based on the analysis of available information, it is reasonably possible that the Company’s costs to satisfy its Arbitration liability, when ultimately settled, could range from $10 million to $310 million, with a payment period extending beyond ten years. The Company has recorded a liability of $63 million at March 31, 2013, which is its best estimate of the probable loss within this range. The Company believes the likelihood of an outcome in the upper end of the range is significantly less than other possible outcomes within the range. Interim legal determinations may periodically obligate NCR (and BAT and Appleton pursuant to the Arbitration) to fund portions of the cleanup costs to extents greater than NCR’s share as finally determined, and in such instances, Appleton may reserve additional amounts (including appropriate reimbursement under its indemnification agreements as discussed below).

The following assumptions were used in evaluating Appleton’s Arbitration liability:

•   As of December 31, 2012, NCR has recorded an estimated liability of $115 million representing its portion of defense and liability costs with respect to the Lower Fox River;

•   Technical analyses contending that discharges from NCR’s former assets represent 8% to 10% of the total PCBs discharged by the PRPs;

•   Appleton’s and BAT’s joint and several responsibility for over half of the claims asserted against NCR and Appleton, based on the Arbitration and the Dispute Resolution;

•   Based on legal analyses and ongoing reviews of publicly-available financial information, Appleton believes that other PRPs will be required, and have adequate financial resources, to pay their respective shares of the remediation and NRD claims for the Lower Fox River; and

•   legal fees and other expenses.

Appleton believes its recorded liability reflects its best estimate of expected payments during 2013 under the Arbitration Agreement. While it is reasonably possible that Appleton may be responsible beyond 2013 for amounts under the Arbitration, payments beyond 2013 are not deemed probable because ongoing litigation, continuing negotiation, and the Dispute Resolution process could significantly affect Appleton's future obligation under the Arbitration.

AWA Indemnification. Pursuant to two indemnification agreements entered in 2001, AWA agreed to indemnify PDC and PDC agreed to indemnify Appleton for costs, expenses and liabilities related to certain governmental and third-party environmental claims, which are defined in the agreements as the Fox River Liabilities.

Under the indemnification agreements, Appleton is indemnified for the first $75 million of Fox River Liabilities and for amounts in excess of $100 million. During 2008, Appleton paid $25 million to satisfy its portion of the Fox River Liabilities not covered by the indemnification agreement with AWA. As of March 31, 2013, AWA has paid $275.5 million in connection with Fox River Liabilities. At March 31, 2013, PDC’s total indemnification receivable from AWA was $63.0 million, all of which is recorded in other current assets. At March 31, 2013, the total Appleton indemnification receivable from PDC was $63.0 million, all of which is recorded in other current assets.

In March 2008, Appleton received favorable jury verdicts in a state court declaratory judgment relating to insurance coverage of its environmental claims involving the Fox River. A final judgment and order was entered in January 2009. The insurers appealed the final judgment. In June 2010, the Wisconsin Court of Appeals upheld the final judgment. Settlements have been negotiated between the insurers and Appleton. Under the terms of the indemnification agreement, recoveries from insurance are reimbursed to AWA to the extent of its indemnification obligation. During 2010, Appleton recorded an $8.9 million receivable, representing settlements to be received in excess of amounts reimbursable to AWA, in the Consolidated Balance Sheet as of January 1, 2011. During 2011, Appleton received $6.2 million of these funds. During third quarter 2012, an additional environmental expense insurance recovery of $2.2 million was recorded as a separate line item within operating income on the Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Loss and all remaining funds were received by Appleton in 2012.

The indemnification agreements negotiated with AWA are designed to ensure that Appleton will not be required to fund any of the indemnified costs and expenses in relation to the Fox River Liabilities. This arrangement is working as designed and is expected to continue to protect Appleton with respect to the indemnified costs and expenses, based on Appleton’s review of the financial condition of AWA and estimates of Appleton’s liability. As earlier noted, Appleton’s ultimate liability pursuant to the Arbitration could prove to be significantly larger than the current carrying amount and potentially could exceed the financial capability of AWA. In the event Appleton is unable to secure payment from AWA or its former parent companies, Appleton may be liable for amounts pursuant to the Arbitration and these amounts may be material to Appleton.

West Carrollton

The West Carrollton, Ohio facility operates pursuant to various state and federal permits for discharges and emissions to air and water. As a result of the de-inking of carbonless paper containing PCBs through the early 1970s, there may have been releases of PCBs and volatile organic compounds into the soil in the area of the wastewater impoundments at the West Carrollton facility and low levels of PCBs have been detected in the groundwater immediately under this area. In addition, PCB contamination is present in sediment in the adjacent Great Miami River, but it is believed that this contamination is from a source other than the West Carrollton facility.

Based on investigation and delineation of PCB contamination in soil and groundwater in the area of the wastewater impoundments, the Company believes that it may be necessary to undertake remedial action in the future, although the Company is currently under no obligation to do so. The Company has not had any discussions or communications with any federal, state or local agencies or authorities regarding remedial action to address PCB contamination at the West Carrollton facility. The cost for remedial action, which could include installation of a cap, long-term pumping, treating and/or monitoring of groundwater and removal of sediment in the Great Miami River, was estimated in 2001 to range up to approximately $10.5 million, with approximately $3 million in short-term capital costs and the remainder to be incurred over a period of 30 years. However, costs could exceed this amount if additional contamination is discovered, if additional remedial action is necessary or if the remedial action costs are more than expected.

Because of the uncertainty surrounding the ultimate course of action for the West Carrollton facility property, the Great Miami River remediation and the Company’s share of these remediation costs, if any, and since the Company is currently under no obligation to undertake remedial action in the future, no provision has been recorded in its financial statements for estimated remediation costs. In conjunction with the acquisition of PDC by the ESOP in 2001, and as limited by the terms of the purchase agreement, AWA agreed to indemnify the Company for 50% of all environmental liabilities at West Carrollton up to $5.0 million and 100% of all such environmental costs exceeding $5.0 million. In addition, the former owners and operators of the West Carrollton facility may be liable for all or part of the cost of remediation of historic PCB contamination.

Other

From time to time, the Company may be subject to various demands, claims, suits or other legal proceedings arising in the ordinary course of business. A comprehensive insurance program is maintained to provide a measure of financial protection against such matters, though not all such exposures are, or can be, addressed by insurance. Estimated costs are recorded for such demands, claims, suits or proceedings of this nature when reasonably determinable. The Company has successfully defended such claims, settling some for amounts which are not material to the business and obtaining dismissals in others. While the Company will vigorously defend itself and expects to prevail in any similar cases that may be brought against it in the future, there can be no assurance that it will be successful.

Except as described above, and assuming the Company’s expectations regarding defending such demands, claims, suits or other legal or regulatory proceedings prove accurate, the Company does not believe that any pending or threatened demands, claims, suits or other legal proceedings will have, individually or in the aggregate, a materially adverse effect on its business, financial condition and results of operations or cash flows. 

13.      EMPLOYEE STOCK OWNERSHIP PLAN

The Company’s matching contributions charged to expense were $0.8 million and $0.7 million in each of the three-month periods ended March 31, 2013 and April 1, 2012, respectively. As a result of hardship withdrawals, 562 shares of PDC redeemable common stock were repurchased during the first three months of 2013 at an aggregate price of approximately $10,000. During the first three months of 2012, as a result of hardship withdrawals, 332 shares of PDC redeemable common stock were repurchased at an aggregate price of approximately $5,000.

In accordance with ASC 480, “Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity,” redeemable equity securities are required to be accreted so the amount in the balance sheet reflects the estimated amount redeemable at the earliest redemption date based upon the redemption value at each period-end. Redeemable common stock is being accreted to the earliest redemption date, mandated by federal law, based upon the estimated fair market value of the redeemable common stock as of March 31, 2013. For several semi-annual periods prior to year-end 2010, stock valuations resulted in decreases to the stock price. The impact of these reductions caused the Company to reduce redeemable common stock accretion by $1.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2013. Based upon the estimated fair value of the redeemable common stock, an ultimate redemption liability of approximately $153 million has been determined. The redeemable common stock recorded book value as of March 31, 2013, was $80 million.

Similarly, redeemable common stock accretion was reduced by $1.2 million for the three months ended April 1, 2012. Based upon the estimated fair value of the redeemable common stock, an ultimate redemption liability of approximately $138 million was determined. The redeemable common stock recorded book value as of April 1, 2012, was $96 million.

14.      DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS AND HEDGING ACTIVITIES

The Company selectively uses financial instruments to manage some market risks from changes in foreign currency exchange rates or commodity prices. The fair values of all derivatives are recorded in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. The change in a derivative’s fair value is recorded each period in current earnings or accumulated other comprehensive income, depending on whether the derivative is designated and qualifies as part of a hedge transaction and, if so, the type of hedge transaction.

The Company selectively hedges forecasted transactions that are subject to foreign currency exchange exposure by using forward exchange contracts. These instruments are designated as cash flow hedges and are recorded in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet at fair value using Level 2 observable market inputs. The fair value of foreign currency forward contracts is based on a valuation model that discounts cash flows resulting from the differential between the contract price and the market-based forward note, also deemed to be categorized as Level 2. The effective portion of the contracts’ gains or losses due to changes in fair value is initially recorded as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income and is subsequently reclassified into earnings when the underlying transactions occur and affect earnings or if it becomes probable the forecasted transactions will not occur. These contracts are highly effective in hedging the variability in future cash flows attributable to changes in currency exchange rates. The notional amount of foreign exchange contracts used to hedge foreign currency transactions was $27.9 million as of March 31, 2013. These contracts have settlement dates extending through December 2013.

The Company selectively hedges forecasted commodity transactions that are subject to pricing fluctuations by using collar contracts to manage risks associated with market fluctuations in energy prices. These contracts are recorded in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet at fair value using Level 2 observable market inputs based on the New York Mercantile Exchange as measured on the last trading day of the accounting period and compared to the collar price. The contracts’ gains or losses due to changes in fair value are recorded in current period earnings. At March 31, 2013, the hedged volumes of these contracts totaled 917,112 MMBTU (Million British Thermal Units) of natural gas. The contracts have settlement dates extending through December 2013.

The Company selectively hedges forecasted commodity transactions that are subject to pricing fluctuations by using swap contracts to manage risks associated with market fluctuations in pulp prices. During first quarter 2012, there were two pulp swap contracts in place. The first swap had a hedge volume of 2,000 tons of pulp and was settled in February 2012. It was not designated as a hedge, and therefore, gains or losses due to changes in fair value were recorded in current period earnings. The second pulp hedge was designated as a cash flow hedge of forecasted pulp purchases, and therefore, the change in the effective portion of the fair value of the hedge was deferred in accumulated other comprehensive income until the inventory containing the pulp was sold. This pulp hedge was settled as of September 30, 2012. As of March 31, 2013, there were no swap contracts in place.

During the first three months of 2013, the Company made mandatory debt repayments of $0.3 million, plus interest, on its State of Ohio loans. Also, during the quarter, the Company borrowed $65.3 million and repaid $62.5 million on its revolving credit facility, as amended, leaving an outstanding balance at quarter-end of $6.5 million. Approximately $15.7 million of the revolving credit facility, as amended, is used to support outstanding letters of credit. As of May 1, 2012, the revolving credit facility was amended to reduce all applicable interest rate spreads by 1.25%. The interest rate assessed on Eurodollar loans is now the Eurodollar rate plus an interest rate spread ranging from 2.0% to 2.5%, depending on defined levels of average excess availability of the credit facility. The interest rate assessed on base rate loans is now the base rate plus an interest rate spread ranging from 1.0% to 1.5%, also depending on defined levels of average excess availability.

During March 2012, the Company received the proceeds of a $0.3 million note issued to Appleton Papers Inc. by Columbia County, Wisconsin.

The first lien notes and the second lien notes, as amended, contain covenants that restrict Appleton’s ability and the ability of Appleton’s other guarantors to sell assets or merge or consolidate with or into other companies; borrow money; incur liens; pay dividends or make other distributions; make other restricted payments and investments; place restrictions on the ability of certain subsidiaries to pay dividends or other payments to Appleton; enter into sale and leaseback transactions; amend particular agreements relating to the transaction with former parent AWA and the ESOP; and enter into transactions with certain affiliates. These covenants are subject to important exceptions and qualifications set forth in the indenture governing the 11.25% second lien notes due 2015, as amended.

The senior subordinated notes, as amended, are unconditionally guaranteed by PDC and Rose Holdings Limited, subject to certain limitations.

The Company was in compliance with all debt covenants at March 31, 2013, and is forecasted to remain compliant for the next 12 months. The Company’s ability to comply with the financial covenants in the future depends on achieving forecasted operating results and operating cash flows. The Company’s failure to comply with its covenants, or an assessment that it is likely to fail to comply with its covenants, could lead the Company to seek amendments to, or waivers of, the financial covenants. The Company cannot provide assurance that it would be able to obtain any amendments to or waivers of the covenants. In the event of non-compliance with debt covenants, if the lenders will not amend or waive the covenants, the debt would be due and the Company would need to seek alternative financing. The Company cannot provide assurance that it would be able to obtain alternative financing. If the Company were not able to secure alternative financing, this would have a material adverse impact on the Company.

The senior secured first lien notes payable and the second lien notes payable are traded regularly in public markets and therefore, the fair value was determined using Level 1 inputs based on quoted market prices. The senior subordinated notes payable are not regularly traded in public markets so fair value was determined using Level 2 observable market inputs including pricing for similar debt. The fair value of the State of Ohio loans was determined using Level 2 observable market inputs including current rates for financial instruments of the same remaining maturity and similar terms. The industrial development bonds have a variable interest rate that reflects current market terms and conditions.

Due to their short-term nature, the carrying values of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable and accounts payable are reasonable estimates of fair value as of March 31, 2013 and December 29, 2012.

17.      SEGMENT INFORMATION

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

Unless stated to the contrary or the context requires otherwise, all references in this report to the Company refer to Paperweight Development Corp. (“PDC” or “Paperweight”) and its 100%-owned subsidiaries. It includes Appleton Papers Inc. and its 100%-owned subsidiaries (collectively “Appleton”).

Overview

This discussion summarizes the significant factors affecting the consolidated operating results, financial condition and liquidity of PDC and Appleton for the quarter ended March 31, 2013. This discussion should be read in conjunction with the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes. Reference should also be made to the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 29, 2012, the consolidated financial statements and related notes included therein.

During fourth quarter 2012, the Company adopted mark-to-market accounting for its pension and other postretirement benefit plans. Under mark-to-market accounting, all actuarial gains and losses are immediately recognized in net periodic cost annually in the fourth quarter of each year and whenever a plan is determined to qualify for a remeasurement during a fiscal year and, the market-related value of plan assets used in the cost calculations is equal to fair value. Under the Company’s previous accounting method, a portion of the actuarial gains and losses was deferred in accumulated other comprehensive loss on the Consolidated Balance Sheet and amortized into future periods. In addition, the previous method smoothed the investment gains and losses of the plan assets over a period of five years. While the Company’s historical policy of recognizing pension and other postretirement benefits expense was considered acceptable under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, the Company believes this new policy to be preferable as it eliminates the delay in recognizing actuarial gains and losses within operating results. This change will also improve the transparency within the Company’s operating results by immediately recognizing the effects of economic and interest rate trends on plan investments and assumptions in the year these actuarial gains and losses are actually incurred. All prior periods presented were retrospectively adjusted to reflect the period-specific effects of applying the new accounting policy. See Note 1, Basis of Presentation, for further details relating to this accounting policy change.

In connection with this change in accounting policy for pension and other postretirement benefit plans, the Company also elected to change its method of accounting for certain costs included in inventory. The Company elected to exclude the amount of its pension and other postretirement benefit costs applicable to former employees from inventoriable costs. While the Company’s historical policy of including all pension and other postretirement benefits costs, excluding those charged directly to selling, general and administrative ("SG&A") expenses, as a component of inventoriable costs was acceptable, it believes the new policy is preferable as inventoriable costs will only include costs that are directly attributable to current employees involved in the production of inventory. All prior periods presented were retrospectively adjusted to reflect the period-specific effects of applying the new accounting policy. See Note 1, Basis of Presentation, for further details relating to this accounting policy change.

Financial Highlights

First quarter 2013 net sales of $210.8 million were $8.8 million, or 4.0%, lower than first quarter 2012 net sales. Overall, first quarter 2013 shipment volumes were approximately 9% lower than the same period last year. The thermal papers segment experienced its fifth consecutive quarter of sales growth, increasing from fourth quarter 2011 net sales of $92.7 million to current quarter net sales of $112.6 million. First quarter 2013 thermal papers shipment volumes were nearly 15% higher than the prior year period. Current quarter carbonless papers sales of $89.7 million were $23.8 million, or 21.0%, lower than first quarter 2012 net sales on a volume decrease of approximately 28%. Half of this volume decrease was attributable to discontinuing sales into certain non-strategic international markets. First quarter 2013 Encapsys® net sales of $13.1 million were slightly lower than first quarter 2012 net sales of $13.3 million on a volume decrease of approximately 1%. Sales volumes shipped to external markets were up over 18% compared to the prior year quarter while internally, sales volume was down nearly 26% as a result of the decline in carbonless papers sales.

As a result of the cessation of papermaking operations in West Carrollton, Ohio, the Company recorded $61.3 million of restructuring expense and other related costs during first quarter 2012. Of this amount, non-cash charges totaling $35.9 million, for accelerated depreciation, inventory revaluation and loss on disposal of fixed assets, were recorded in cost of sales. This accounted for a majority of the $47.6 million decrease in first quarter 2013 cost of sales as compared to first quarter 2012. The remaining $25.4 million of first quarter 2012 restructuring expense and other related costs was for employee termination costs and was recorded as restructuring within SG&A expenses.

First quarter 2013 SG&A expenses were $3.7 million, or 10.9%, less than the previous year quarter largely due to reductions in distribution costs, compensation and employee benefits expense, bad debts expense and commissions expense. In addition, first quarter 2012 spending included $0.4 million of costs associated with the discontinued business combination transaction.

The Company recorded net income for first quarter 2013 of $2.1 million compared to a net loss of $64.9 million in first quarter 2012. The first quarter 2012 net loss includes the $61.3 million of restructuring expense and other related costs.

Net sales for first quarter 2013 were $210.8 million, a decrease of $8.8 million, or 4.0%, compared to the prior year period. Though thermal papers net sales were up 13.9%, carbonless papers net sales were down 21.0% and Encapsys sales were lower by 1.6%. Within the paper business, the impact of overall lower shipment volumes of approximately 10% was partially offset by favorable pricing of $2.1 million.

First quarter 2013 operating income of $17.9 million improved from a first quarter 2012 operating loss of $50.0 million. First quarter 2012 operating results included $61.3 million of restructuring expense and other costs related to ceasing papermaking operations in West Carrollton, Ohio. This $61.3 million charge included restructuring expense of $25.4 million for employee termination costs and a $35.9 million non-cash charge to cost of sales for accelerated depreciation, inventory revaluation to lower of cost or market and loss on disposal of fixed assets. The Company’s financial results for the first three months of 2013 were positively impacted by improved product mix of $4.0 million and favorable raw materials and utilities pricing of $2.3 million. This was partially offset by unfavorable manufacturing operations of $1.9 million and reduced operating income of $1.7 million resulting from lower shipment volumes. First quarter 2013 SG&A expenses were lower than the previous year quarter largely due to reductions in distribution costs, compensation and employee benefits expense, bad debts expense and commissions expense. In addition, first quarter 2012 spending included $0.4 million of costs associated with the discontinued business combination transaction.

For the first three months of 2013, the Company recorded net income of $2.1. This compares to a net loss of $64.9 million in first quarter 2012. In addition to the items noted above, first quarter 2013 non-operating expense was $0.9 million higher than the same quarter last year largely due to foreign exchange loss increasing by $1.0 million.

Business Segment Discussion

First quarter 2013 net sales within the Company’s paper business were $202.3 million or $10.1 million lower than first quarter 2012 net sales. For the first three months of 2013, the paper business reported operating income of $17.2 million compared to a first quarter 2012 operating loss of $49.0 million. The year-on-year operating income variance was the result of the following (dollars in millions):

	For the Three Months Ended March 31, 2013 v. the Three Months Ended April 1, 2012
Restructuring and other related costs	$	61.3
Favorable price and mix		6.1
Favorable raw materials and utilities pricing		2.5
Selling, general and administrative expenses and other		1.4
Unfavorable manufacturing operations		(2.5)
Lower shipment volumes		(2.6)
	$	66.2

Carbonless Papers

• For the first three months of 2013, carbonless papers net sales totaled $89.7 million, a decrease of $23.8 million, or 21.0%, from prior year levels. Shipment volumes during first quarter 2013 were approximately 28% lower than the same period last year. Approximately half of this decline in sales and shipments volume was the result of the Company’s 2012 decision to discontinue selling carbonless papers into certain non-strategic international markets. The negative impact of lower shipment volumes was partially offset by the benefits realized from favorable pricing.

• First quarter 2013 carbonless papers operating income of $10.8 million compared to a $27.3 million operating loss reported in first quarter 2012. Last year’s quarter included restructuring and other related costs of $33.7 million. In addition, first quarter 2013 operating results were positively impacted by favorable mix, raw materials and utilities pricing, and SG&A spending. Costs associated with current quarter manufacturing operations were higher than in the previous year quarter.

Thermal Papers

• First quarter 2013 thermal papers net sales totaled $112.6 million, an increase of $13.7 million, or 13.9%, over the same prior year period. The thermal papers segment experienced its fifth consecutive quarter of sales growth, increasing from fourth quarter 2011 net sales of $92.7 million to current quarter net sales of $112.6 million. Shipment volumes were up for the period by nearly 15% when compared to first quarter 2012. Demand for the Company’s receipt paper continues to grow as the last three quarters reported increased shipment volumes over the previous quarter. Moreover, first quarter 2013 receipt paper volume was over 20% higher than first quarter last year. Demand for tag, label and entertainment (“TLE”) products remains solid and accounted for an increase in shipment volumes of nearly 9%.

• The thermal papers segment recorded operating income of $6.4 million for first quarter 2013. This compared to a first quarter 2012 operating loss of $21.8 million which included $27.6 million of restructuring and other related charges. First quarter 2013 operating results were also positively impacted by favorable raw materials and utilities pricing. Current quarter spending included $1.9 million of transition costs related to the base paper supply agreement as well as $0.4 million of capacity start-up costs. Base paper supply agreement transition costs were $0.5 million in first quarter 2012.

Encapsys

• Encapsys first quarter 2013 net sales of $13.1 million were slightly lower than first quarter 2012 net sales of $13.3 million. Sales volumes shipped to external markets were up over 18% compared to the prior year quarter while internally, sales volume was down nearly 26% as a result of the decline in carbonless papers sales.

• Encapsys first quarter 2013 operating income was $3.4 million compared to $2.1 million during the same quarter of 2012. Current quarter operating income was positively impacted by the increase in external shipment volumes as well as favorable manufacturing operations. The 2012 results included $0.3 million in fees to a leading specialty chemicals consulting group to advise on the strategic direction and growth potential of the Encapsys business.

35

Unallocated Corporate Charges

• Unallocated corporate charges totaled $2.1 million for both first quarter 2013 and first quarter 2012, though the 2012 results included $0.4 million of costs associated with the discontinued business combination transaction.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Overview. The Company’s primary sources of liquidity and capital resources are cash provided by operations and available borrowings under its revolving credit facility, as amended. The Company expects that cash on hand, internally generated cash flow and available credit from its revolving credit facility, as amended, will provide the necessary funds for the reasonably foreseeable operating and recurring cash needs (e.g., working capital, debt service, other contractual obligations and capital expenditures). At March 31, 2013, the Company had $1.8 million of cash and approximately $65.8 million of unused borrowing capacity under its revolving credit facility, as amended. The revolving credit facility, as amended, had an outstanding balance of $6.5 million and net debt (total debt less cash) was $516.6 million.

The Company was in compliance with all debt covenants at March 31, 2013, and is forecasted to remain compliant for the next 12 months. The Company’s ability to comply with the financial covenants in the future depends on achieving forecasted operating results and operating cash flows. The Company’s failure to comply with its covenants, or an assessment that it is likely to fail to comply with its covenants, could lead the Company to seek amendments to, or waivers of, the financial covenants. The Company cannot provide assurance that it would be able to obtain any amendments to or waivers of the covenants. In the event of non-compliance with debt covenants, if the lenders will not amend or waive the covenants, the debt would be due and the Company would need to seek alternative financing. The Company cannot provide assurance that it would be able to obtain alternative financing. If the Company were not able to secure alternative financing, this would have a material adverse impact on the Company.

Cash Flows from Operating Activities-Paperweight Development Corp. and Subsidiaries. Net cash provided by operating activities during the first three months of 2013 was $3.7 million compared to $0.3 million of net cash provided during the same three-month period last year. Net income of $2.1 million, adjusted for non-cash charges, provided $12.3 million in operating cash for the period. Non-cash charges included $7.5 million of depreciation and amortization, $0.8 million of non-cash employer matching contributions to the KSOP, $0.7 million of foreign exchange loss and $1.2 million of other non-cash charges. An increase in working capital used $2.4 million of cash during the quarter. A decrease in the pension liability, which included $5.0 million of pension plan contributions, resulted in a $5.2 million net use of cash. Other uses of cash totaled $1.0 million.

The primary component of the change in working capital was a $1.1 million decrease in accounts payable and other accrued liabilities. A $13.6 million increase in accrued interest to be paid during second quarter was offset by a $7.9 million reduction in accrued payroll largely due to the current quarter payment of bonuses earned in 2012, a $3.0 million reduction in accrued customer rebates due to the current quarter payment of rebates earned in 2012, and a $2.9 million payment of vested deferred compensation. Other components of the change in working capital were a $0.7 million increase in accounts receivable, a $0.5 million increase in inventories and a $0.1 million increase in other current assets.

Cash Flows from Operating Activities-Appleton Papers Inc. and Subsidiaries. Net cash provided by operating activities during first quarter 2013 was $5.8 million. Cash provided by operating activities during first quarter 2012 was $0.7 million. As Appleton is the primary operating subsidiary of the Company, a majority of the components of cash flows from operating activities are the same as those discussed above for Paperweight Development Corp. and Subsidiaries. Under an arbitration award with NCR related to remediation of the Lower Fox River, Appleton agreed to share defense and liability costs with NCR and therefore the funding under this agreement is included in operating activities. This is the main driver of the additional changes in cash flows from operating activities.

Cash Flows from Investing Activities-Paperweight Development Corp and Subsidiaries and Appleton Papers Inc. and Subsidiaries.During the first three months of 2013, $3.7 million of cash was used for investing activities, all of which was for the acquisition of property, plant and equipment. This compares to $1.1 million used during first quarter 2012, all of which was used for the acquisition of property, plant and equipment.

Cash Flows from Financing Activities-Paperweight Development Corp. and Subsidiaries. Net cash used by financing activities during first quarter 2013 was $0.1 million compared to $0.6 million of cash provided during the prior year. During the first three months of 2013, the Company made mandatory debt repayments of $0.3 million, plus interest, on its State of Ohio loans. During first quarter 2013, the Company borrowed $65.3 million and repaid $62.5 million on its revolving credit facility, as amended.

36

Cash overdrafts decreased $2.6 million during the first quarter of 2013. Cash overdrafts represent short-term obligations, in excess of deposits on hand, which have not yet cleared through the banking system. Fluctuations in the balance are a function of quarter-end payment patterns and the speed with which the payees deposit the checks.

Cash Flows from Financing Activities-Appleton Papers Inc. and Subsidiaries. Net cash used by financing activities during first quarter 2013 was $2.2 million compared to cash provided of $0.2 million during the prior year quarter. As Appleton is the primary operating subsidiary of the Company, a majority of the components of cash flows from financing activities are the same as those discussed above for Paperweight Development Corp. and Subsidiaries. As Appleton is indemnified by PDC for payments made under the arbitration award with NCR related to the remediation of the Lower Fox River, funds due from PDC are recorded as a financing activity. The main driver of the additional changes in cash flows from financing activities is due to this change in due from PDC.

New Accounting Pronouncements

In February 2013, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2013-04, "Obligations Resulting from Joint and Several Liability Arrangements for Which the Total Amount of the Obligation Is Fixed at the Reporting Date." This guidance requires an entity to measure obligations resulting from joint and several liability arrangements for which the total amount of the obligation within the scope of this guidance is fixed at the reporting date, as the sum of the following: (a) The amount the reporting entity agreed to pay on the basis of its arrangement among its co-obligors and (b) Any additional amount the reporting entity expects to pay on behalf of its co-obligors. The guidance also requires an entity to disclose the nature and amount of the obligation. ASU 2013-04 is effective for the Company's annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2013, though early adoption is permitted, and retrospective application is required for all prior periods presented. The Company is currently evaluating the effects, if any, the adoption will have on its consolidated financial statements.

In February 2013, the FASB issued ASU No. 2013-02, "Reporting of Amounts Reclassified Out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income." This update adds new disclosure requirements for items reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income. The updated standard is effective prospectively for the Company's annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2012. As required, the Company adopted this guidance beginning in the current quarter ended March 31, 2013 and the disclosures have been included in its condensed consolidated financial statements in Note 18, Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income.

In July 2012, the FASB issued ASU No. 2012-02, “Testing Indefinite-Lived Intangible Assets for Impairment.” It provides the option to perform a qualitative, rather than quantitative, assessment to determine whether it is more likely than not an indefinite-lived intangible asset is impaired. ASU 2012-02 is effective for annual and interim impairment tests performed for fiscal years beginning after September 15, 2012, though early adoption is permitted. As required, the Company adopted this guidance beginning in the current quarter ended March 31, 2013, and there was no impact to the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements as a result of adoption.

In December 2011, the FASB issued ASU No. 2011-11, “Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities”. It expands required disclosures related to the nature of an entity’s rights of setoff and related arrangements associated with its financial instruments and derivative instruments. It requires disclosure of net and gross positions in covered financial instruments and derivative instruments which are either (1) offset in accordance with ASC Sections 210-20-45 or 815-10-45, or (2) subject to an enforceable netting or other similar arrangement. To clarify the guidance provided in ASU 2011-11, the FASB issued ASU No. 2013-01, "Clarifying the Scope of Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities" in January 2013. It clarifies the scope of the guidance to include derivatives, repurchase and reverse repurchase agreements, and securities borrowing and lending transactions that are either offset in accordance with Section 210-20-45 or Section 815-10-45 or subject to master netting or similar arrangements. The amendments are effective for fiscal years beginning on or after January 1, 2013, and interim periods within those annual periods. The Company will be required to adopt this guidance as of its fiscal year beginning December 29, 2013 and is evaluating the effects, if any, the adoption will have on its consolidated financial statements.

Item 3—Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

For information regarding quantitative and qualitative disclosures about market risk, see the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 29, 2012. There have been no material changes in the quantitative or qualitative exposure to market risk from that described in the Form 10-K.

Item 4—Controls and Procedures

Paperweight Development Corp. and Subsidiaries

Changes in Internal Controls over Financial Reporting

There have been no changes in PDC’s internal control over financial reporting during PDC’s first quarter 2013 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, PDC’s internal control over financial reporting.

37

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

 PDC maintains a set of disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports filed or submitted under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or the Exchange Act, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to the Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) and Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”), as appropriate, to allow timely discussion regarding required disclosure. PDC carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of management, including the CEO and CFO, of the effectiveness, design and operation of PDC’s disclosure controls and procedures. Based on that evaluation, the CEO and CFO of PDC concluded that its disclosure controls and procedures are effective as of the end of the period covered by this report.

There have been no changes in Appleton’s internal control over financial reporting during Appleton’s first quarter 2013 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, Appleton’s internal control over financial reporting.

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Appleton maintains a set of disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports filed or submitted under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or the Exchange Act, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to the CEO and CFO, as appropriate, to allow timely discussion regarding required disclosure. Appleton carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of management, including the CEO and CFO, of the effectiveness, design and operation of Appleton’s disclosure controls and procedures. Based on that evaluation, the CEO and CFO of Appleton concluded that its disclosure controls and procedures are effective as of the end of the period covered by this report.

PART II – OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1.     Legal Proceedings

Information regarding legal proceedings is contained in Note 12 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements contained in this report and is incorporated herein by reference.

Item 1A.  Risk Factors

Other than with respect to the updated risk factor below, there have been no material changes in the risk factors disclosed in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 29, 2012.

The Company has competitors in its various markets and it may not be able to maintain prices and margins for its products.

The Company competes based on a number of factors, including price, product availability, quality and customer service. Additionally, the Company competes with domestic production and imports from Europe and Asia. In 2007, the Company filed antidumping petitions against imports of certain lightweight thermal paper (“LWTP”) from China, Germany and Korea and a countervailing duty petition against such imports from China. In 2008, the U.S Department of Commerce (“Department”) issued its final determination, affirming that certain Chinese producers and exporters of LWTP sold the product in the U.S. at prices below fair value, imposing final duties of 19.77% to 115.29%, and that German producers and exporters sold the product in the U.S. at prices below fair value and imposed final duties on those imports of 6.5%. In addition, for all but one Chinese producer, the Department imposed countervailing duties of between 13.17% and 137.25%. In 2008, the U.S. International Trade Commission (“ITC”) determined the U.S. industry producing LWTP is threatened with material injury due to unfairly traded imports from China and Germany, and final duties went into effect in 2008. These duties do not have a direct impact on the Company’s net income.

A German manufacturer filed an appeal of the ITC determination to the U.S. Court of International Trade (“CIT”). The appeal was decided in favor of the Company in 2009,  and the German manufacturer filed a further appeal to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit (“CAFC”). In 2011, the CAFC remanded the matter for further consideration by the ITC, and the ITC upheld its original determination. In January 2012, the CIT upheld the ITC’s decision on remand, and the German manufacturer filed another appeal of the matter to the CAFC. In January 2013, the CAFC affirmed the decision of the CIT in favor of the Company.

In addition, for each of the four 12-month periods following implementation of the final duties, the Company and the German manufacturer have filed requests for administrative review with the Department, seeking to modify the amount of the duties based on the market practices during each respective 12-month period. In 2011, the Department issued a final determination in the first 12-month review period, resulting in a dumping margin of 3.77 percent for imports from the German manufacturer for the period from November 2008 to October 2009. In 2012, the Department issued a final determination in the second 12-month review period, resulting in a dumping margin of 4.33% for imports from the German manufacturer for the period from November 2009 to October 2010. In 2013, the Department issued a final determination in the third 12-month review period, resulting in a dumping margin of 75.36% for imports from the German manufacturer for the period from November 2010 to October 2011. The significant increase in the dumping margin was based on the Department’s finding that the German manufacturer knowingly and intentionally submitted fraudulent responses to the Department. Upon final resolution of the appeals and the fourth administrative review, certain of the duties could be reduced, increased or eliminated.
