NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1.       BASIS OF PRESENTATION

In the opinion of management, all adjustments necessary for the fair statement of comprehensive income (loss) for the three and nine months ended September 29, 2013 and September 30, 2012, the cash flows for the nine months ended September 29, 2013 and September 30, 2012 and financial position at September 29, 2013 and December 29, 2012 have been made.

During third quarter 2013, the Company recorded an out-of-period adjustment related to the correction of a $1.5 million overstatement of accounts payable related to prior periods. As a result of this correction, $1.4 million was recorded as a decrease to cost of sales and the remaining $0.1 million was recorded as a decrease to selling, general and administrative (“SG&A”) expenses. The Company does not believe the correction of this error is material to its financial statements for any prior periods, to the quarter ended September 29, 2013 or its projected full year results for the year ended December 28, 2013.

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 Appvion, Inc., formally known as Appleton Papers Inc, and its 100%-owned subsidiaries (collectively “Appvion”) 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 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.

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 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 and nine months ended September 30, 2012, was a $2.6 million reduction in net loss and a $4.3 million reduction in net loss, respectively.

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.

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 three and nine months ended September 30, 2012 (dollars in thousands):

	For the Three		For the Nine		Location on Statement
	Months Ended		Months Ended		of Comprehensive
	September 30, 2012		September 30, 2012		Income (Loss)
Employee termination benefits	$	(250)	$	25,281	Restructuring
Decommissioning and other expenses		953		1,894	Restructuring
Accelerated depreciation		887		63,140	Cost of sales
Revaluation of inventory		—		11,078	Cost of sales
Loss on disposal of fixed assets		—		572	Cost of sales
	$	1,590	$	101,965

Of the costs recorded during third quarter 2012, $0.9 million were allocated to the carbonless papers segment and $0.7 million were allocated to the thermal papers segment. Of the costs recorded during the first nine months of 2012, $56.1 million were allocated to the carbonless papers segment and $45.9 million were 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 September 29, 2013 and December 29, 2012.

	December 29, 2012		2013 Additions		2013		September 29, 2013
	Reserve		to Reserve		Utilization		Reserve
Exit costs – equipment decommissioning	$	765	$	—	$	(375)	$	390
Employee termination benefits		18,454		—		(454)		18,000
	$	19,219	$	—	$	(829)	$	18,390

Employee termination benefits include severance as well as related benefits and pension costs. At September 29, 2013, $0.8 million of the total restructuring reserve was included in current liabilities and $17.6 million was included in other long-term liabilities. The Company expects any remaining charges for exit costs to be immaterial. At September 29, 2013, it is estimated that cash of approximately $40 million remains to be paid as a result of ceasing papermaking operations at West Carrollton. Of this amount, it is expected that approximately $4 million will be paid during the next twelve months. In addition, approximately $9 million will be disbursed, through 2017, 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 $27 million may be paid over a period through 2033.

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 first 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 first 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.

Net loss amortization		748		—		748		—
Net periodic benefit cost	$	738	$	523	$	757	$	1,569

The Company planned to contribute $12.5 million to its defined benefit pension plan in 2013. The Company contributed the entire $12.5 million to the plan during the first nine 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. Therefore, the Company has recorded a $25 million liability as its best estimate of the amount to satisfy the withdrawal liability, with a payment period extending up to 20 years, discounted in accordance with ASC Section 450-20-S99-1.

11.      LONG-TERM INCENTIVE COMPENSATION    

In December 2001, the Company adopted the Appvion, 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. As of September 29, 2013, the fair market value of one share of PDC common stock is $17.85. 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 RSU’s was made on February 22, 2013. In addition, on July 2, 2013,  1,500 RSU units became fully vested and exercisable. Payment for these RSU’s was made on August 9, 2013. During the first nine months of 2013, 114,925 additional units were granted under the RSU plan. Due to terminations of employment, 6,300 unvested units were forfeited during the first nine months of 2013. A balance of 216,125 RSU units remains as of September 29, 2013. Approximately $0.3 million and $0.9 million of expense, related to this plan, was recorded during the three- and nine-month periods ended September 29, 2013. Approximately $0.1 million and $1.3 million of expense, related to this plan, was recorded during the three- and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2012. During the first nine months of 2013, 194,100 additional units were granted under the LTIP plan. Approximately $0.3 million and $1.0 million of expense, related to this plan, was recorded during the three- and nine-month periods ended September 29, 2013. Due to the third quarter 2012 change in PDC share price, $0.4 million of previously-recorded expense related to this plan was recovered during this prior year quarter. Approximately $1.2 million of expense was recorded during the nine-month period ended September 30, 2012.

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 expense, related to this plan, for the three-month period ended September 29, 2013. Due to the third quarter 2012 change in PDC share price, $0.1 million of previously-recorded expense related to this plan was recovered during the prior year quarter. Approximately $0.3 million and $0.2 million was recorded as expense, related to this plan, for each of the nine-month periods ended September 29, 2013 and September 30, 2012, respectively.

12.      COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES 

Lower Fox River

Appvion Removed as a Potentially Responsible Party (“PRP”). On April 10, 2012, the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Wisconsin granted Appvion’s motion for summary judgment and dismissed all claims against Appvion in the enforcement action.  The decision establishes that Appvion 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 Appvion’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 Appvion’s acquisition of assets from NCR in 1978 while it was a subsidiary of B.A.T Industries Limited (“BAT”). Appvion and BAT have joint and several liability under the Arbitration for certain costs relating to the Lower Fox River and other potential future sites. Appvion has initiated the dispute resolution procedures outlined in the 1998 agreement. Issues in dispute include the scope of Appvion’s liability under the agreement, if any, as well as funding requests and supporting documentation from NCR (the “Dispute Resolution”). The current carrying amount of Appvion’s liability under the Arbitration is $60.8 million, which represents Appvion’s best estimate of potential amounts to be paid. 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 Appvion with the same claim, seeking a declaration that BAT is indemnified by Appvion. Appvion 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 Appvion 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. Appvion 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 Appvion 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. Appvion has recorded a $60.8 million environmental indemnification receivable as of September 29, 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. Appvion 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 $60.8 million at September 29, 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 Appvion 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, Appvion may reserve additional amounts (including appropriate reimbursement under its indemnification agreements as discussed below).

The following assumptions were used in evaluating Appvion’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 analysis contending that discharges from NCR’s former assets represent 8% to 10% of the total PCBs discharged by the PRPs;

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

•      Based on legal analyses and ongoing reviews of publicly-available financial information, Appvion 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.

Appvion believes its recorded liability reflects its best estimate of potential payments under the Arbitration Agreement. While it is reasonably possible that Appvion may be responsible for additional payments under the Arbitration, additional payments are not deemed probable because ongoing litigation, continuing negotiation, and the Dispute Resolution process could significantly affect Appvion’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 Appvion 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 and other potential future sites.

Under the indemnification agreements, Appvion is indemnified for the first $75 million of Fox River Liabilities and for amounts in excess of $100 million. During 2008, Appvion paid $25 million to satisfy its portion of the Fox River Liabilities not covered by the indemnification agreement with AWA. As of September 2013, AWA has paid $277.7 million in connection with Fox River Liabilities. At September 29, 2013, PDC’s total indemnification receivable from AWA was $60.8 million, all of which is recorded in other current assets. At September 29, 2013, the total Appvion indemnification receivable from PDC was $60.8 million, all of which is recorded in other current assets.

In March 2008, Appvion 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 and upheld by the Wisconsin Court of Appeals in June 2010. Settlements have been negotiated between the insurers and Appvion. Under the terms of the indemnification agreement, recoveries from insurance are reimbursed to AWA to the extent of its indemnification obligation. During 2010, Appvion 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, Appvion 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 Appvion in 2012.

The indemnification agreements negotiated with AWA are designed to ensure that Appvion 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 Appvion with respect to the indemnified costs and expenses, based on Appvion’s review of the financial condition of AWA and estimates of Appvion’s liability. As earlier noted, Appvion’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 Appvion is unable to secure payment from AWA or its former parent companies, Appvion may be liable for amounts pursuant to the Arbitration and these amounts may be material to Appvion.

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.

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 $0.6 million and $0.5 million for the three-month periods ended September 29, 2013 and September 30, 2012, respectively. The Company’s matching contributions charged to expense were $2.0 million and $2.3 million for the nine-month periods ended September 29, 2013 and September 30, 2012, respectively.  As a result of hardship withdrawals, required diversifications and employee terminations,  606,841 shares of PDC redeemable common stock were repurchased during the first nine months of 2013 at an aggregate price of approximately $10.7 million. During the same period, the ESOP trustee purchased 94,067 shares of PDC redeemable common stock for an aggregate price of $1.6 million using pre-tax deferrals, rollovers and loan payments made by employees, while the Company’s matching contributions for this same period resulted in an additional 81,592 shares of redeemable common stock being issued. As a result of hardship withdrawals, required diversifications and employee terminations, 527,492 shares of PDC redeemable common stock were repurchased during the first nine months of 2012 at an aggregate price of approximately $8.6 million. During the same period, the ESOP trustee purchased 111,151 shares of PDC redeemable common stock for an aggregate price of $1.7 million using pre-tax deferrals, rollovers and loan payments made by employees, while the Company’s matching contributions for this same period resulted in an additional 121,255 shares of redeemable common stock being issued.

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 September 29, 2013. As of this date, the fair market value of one share of PDC common stock was $17.85. 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 $3.2 million for the nine months ended September 29, 2013. Based upon the estimated fair value of the redeemable common stock, an ultimate redemption liability of approximately $148 million has been determined. The redeemable common stock recorded book value as of September 29, 2013,  was $71 million.

Similarly, redeemable common stock accretion was reduced by $7.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2012. Based upon the estimated fair value of the redeemable common stock, an ultimate redemption liability of approximately $151 million was determined. The recorded book value of the redeemable common stock as of September 29, 2012 was $86 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, commodity prices or interest rates. 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 $17.3 million as of September 29, 2013. These contracts have settlement dates extending through June 2014.

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 September 29, 2013, the hedged volumes of these contracts totaled 1,798,255 MMBTU (Million British Thermal Units) of natural gas. The contracts have settlement dates extending through December 2014.

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 September 29, 2013, there were no pulp swap contracts in place.

In July 2013, Appvion fixed the interest rate, at 7.24%, on $100 million of its variable rate first lien term loan using an interest rate swap contract with a forward start date of September 14, 2014 and a maturity date of June 28, 2019. This interest rate swap has been designated as a cash flow hedge and is recorded in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet at fair value using Level 2 observable market inputs.

The following table presents the location and fair values of derivative instruments included in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets (dollars in thousands):

On August 1, 2013, the Company made a mandatory debt repayment of $2.7 million, plus interest, on a portion of its Industrial Development Bonds.

On June 28, 2013, Appvion completed a voluntary refinancing of a portion of its debt to extend debt maturities, reduce interest costs and increase financial flexibility and liquidity options. The refinancing included the execution of a new credit agreement providing for a $100 million five-year revolving line of credit due June 2018 and a $335 million first lien term loan due June 2019. The new line of credit replaced the five-year, $100 million revolving credit facility due February 2015. The new revolving credit facility provides for up to $100 million of revolving loans including a letter of credit sub-facility of up to $25 million and a swing line sub-facility of up to $5 million. Appvion’s borrowings under the revolving credit facility bears interest at Appvion’s option at either base rate plus 3.5% or LIBOR plus 4.5%, per annum.

Proceeds from the $335 million first lien term loan, less expenses and discounts, were $326.3 million. These proceeds were used to redeem $300.7 million of the 10.5% senior secured first lien notes due June 2015, pay $1.1 million of interest due on the notes, pay $18.1 million of note premiums and costs associated with the note redemption, repay $6.0 million of the old revolver and pay $0.4 million of interest and fees due on the old revolver. The $18.1 million is included in debt extinguishment expense on the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income (Loss) for the three and nine months ended September 29, 2013. In addition, there was a cash outlay of $7.2 million for debt acquisition costs. As a result of the refinancing, $6.7 million of unamortized deferred debt issuance costs and original issue discount associated with the redeemed senior secured first lien notes and old revolver were written off and included in debt extinguishment expense.

The first lien term loan bears interest at Appvion’s option at either base rate plus 3.5% or LIBOR, but not less than 1.25%, plus 4.5%, per annum. On July 30, 2013, Appvion fixed the interest rate at 7.24%, on $100.0 million of this variable rate debt using an interest rate swap contract with a forward start date of September 14, 2014 and a maturity date of June 28, 2019. The term loan amortizes in equal quarterly installments in aggregate annual amounts equal to 1.0% of the original principal amount, with the balance payable on June 28, 2019. Also, within five business days after the year-end financial statements have been filed, Appvion shall prepay an aggregate principal amount of the term loan equal to the excess, if any, of (a) 50% of defined excess cash flow, provided that such percentage shall be reduced to (1) 25% based upon Appvion achieving a consolidated leverage ratio of less than 3.50 to 1.0 but greater than or equal to 2.50 to 1.0 and (2) 0% based upon Appvion achieving a consolidated leverage ratio of less than 2.50 to 1.0 minus (b) the aggregate amount of all prepayments of the revolving credit line which constitute permanent reductions of the revolving credit facility and all optional prepayments of the first lien term loan made during the year. 

On July 31, 2013, Appvion redeemed the remaining $4.3 million of 10.5% senior secured first lien notes due June 2015, plus interest and $0.2 million of debt extinguishment expense. In addition, $0.1 million of unamortized deferred debt issuance costs and original issue discount were written off and included in debt extinguishment expense.

The new credit agreement ranks senior in right of payment to all existing and future subordinated indebtedness of Appvion and is secured by security interests in substantially all of the property and assets of Appvion and the debt guarantors. As noted above, the maturity date of the revolving credit facility is June 28, 2018 and the maturity date of the first lien term loan is June 28, 2019. If any amount of the second lien notes remains outstanding on June 30, 2015, then the maturity date of the revolving credit facility shall automatically be deemed to be June 30, 2015 and if any amount of the second lien notes remains outstanding on September 15, 2015, the maturity date of the first lien term loan shall automatically be deemed to be September 15, 2015. The new credit agreement is unconditionally, and jointly and severally, guaranteed by PDC and Appvion Canada, Ltd. It contains affirmative and negative covenants customary for similar credit facilities, which among other things, require Appvion to meet a minimum fixed charge coverage ratio under certain circumstances and restricts Appvion’s ability and the ability of Appvion’s subsidiaries, subject to certain exceptions, to incur additional indebtedness and liens, engage in sale and leaseback transactions, make investments, make loans and advances, transact certain asset sales, engage in mergers, acquisitions, consolidations, liquidations and dissolutions, pay dividends or make other payments in respect of equity interests and other restricted payments, engage in certain transactions with affiliates, limit capital expenditures and make prepayments, redemptions and repurchases of other indebtedness.

During the first nine months of 2013, the Company made mandatory debt repayments of $1.0 million, plus interest, on its State of Ohio loans. Prior to the refinancing, Appvion had borrowed an additional $36.9 million, net, from the old revolving credit facility. This was repaid in full with $6.0 million of proceeds from the $335 million first lien term loan and $34.6 million of borrowing from the new revolving credit facility. Year-to-date through September 29, 2013, the Company borrowed $129.1 million and repaid $109.1 million on its new revolving credit facility, leaving an outstanding balance at quarter-end of $20.0 million. In addition, approximately $12.9 million of the new revolving credit facility was used to support outstanding letters of credit.

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

The second lien notes, as amended, contain covenants that restrict Appvion’s ability and the ability of Appvion’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 Appvion; 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 September 29, 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 noncompliance 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.

	$	558,262	$	579,252	$	515,599	$	547,617

The senior subordinated 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 first lien term loan is traded regularly in public markets and therefore, the fair value was determined using Level 1 inputs based on quoted market prices. 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 September 29, 2013 and December 29, 2012.

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 Appvion, Inc., formerly known as Appleton Papers Inc., and its 100%-owned subsidiaries (collectively “Appvion”).

Overview

This discussion summarizes the significant factors affecting the consolidated operating results, financial condition and liquidity of PDC and Appvion for the quarter ended September 29, 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.

On June 28, 2013, Appvion completed a voluntary refinancing of a portion of its debt to extend debt maturities, reduce interest costs and increase financial flexibility and liquidity options. The refinancing included the execution of a new credit agreement providing for a $100 million five-year revolving line of credit due June 2018 and a $335 million first lien term loan due June 2019. Proceeds from the $335 million first lien term loan, less expenses and discounts, were $326.3 million. A portion of these proceeds was used to redeem $300.7 million of the 10.5% senior secured first lien notes due June 2015. On July 31, 2013, Appvion redeemed the remaining $4.3 million of these first lien notes. In conjunction with this $4.3 million repayment, a redemption premium of $0.2 million was paid and $0.1 million of unamortized deferred debt issuance costs and original issue discount were written off and included in debt extinguishment expense on the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income (Loss) for the three and nine months ended September 29, 2013.

The first lien term loan bears interest at Appvion’s option at either base rate plus 3.5% or LIBOR, but not less than 1.25%, plus 4.5%, per annum. On July 30, 2013, Appvion fixed the interest rate at 7.24% on $100.0 million of the variable rate debt using an interest rate swap contract with a forward start date of September 14, 2014 and a maturity date of June 28, 2019.

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

Third quarter 2013 net sales of $202.9 million were $7.8 million, or 3.7%, lower than third quarter 2012 net sales. Third quarter 2013 shipment volumes were approximately 4% lower than the same period last year. Third quarter 2013 thermal papers net sales of $105.7 million were $0.9 million lower despite a volume increase of approximately 2%. Third quarter 2013 carbonless papers net sales of $88.8 million were $7.1 million, or 7.4%, lower than net sales for the prior year quarter on a volume decrease of approximately 9%. The Company has completed the full-year cycle following its decision to exit certain non-strategic international markets. While the Company’s carbonless paper sales are expected to decline, the rate of decline is more likely to reflect historical market trends of 7% to 9%. Third quarter 2013 Encapsys® net sales of $12.4 million were 3.1% lower than third quarter 2012 net sales. However, net sales to external customers were 1.2% higher on a 6% reduction in sales volume.

Third quarter 2013 cost of sales of $154.3 million was $11.6 million lower than third quarter 2012. Included in the prior year cost of sales was a $6.8 million settlement charge relating to the withdrawal from the multi-employer pension plan as negotiated by the West Carrollton, Ohio bargaining workforce. Third quarter 2012 results also included $5.1 million of restructuring and other expenses related to the cessation of papermaking in West Carrollton and the Company’s transition to the 15-year base paper agreement. Current quarter SG&A expenses were $1.9 million, or 6.0%, less than the previous year quarter largely due to reduced expense associated with incentive compensation as well as lower distribution costs.

The Company recorded current quarter net income of $6.5 million compared to net income of $0.5 million recorded in the prior year quarter. Third quarter 2012 net income included a $2.2 million environmental expense insurance recovery. The Company’s results for the third quarter and first nine months of 2013 include an out-of-period adjustment related to the correction of an overstatement of accounts payable related to prior periods which increased earnings $1.5 million and $0.9 million, respectively. See Note 1 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

Net sales for third quarter 2013 were $202.9 million, a decrease of $7.8 million, or 3.7%, compared to the prior year period. Thermal papers net sales and carbonless papers net sales were down 0.8% and 7.4%, respectively. Encapsys net sales were 3.1% lower than the prior year quarter. Within the paper business, shipment volumes were lower by approximately 4%. Total Encapsys volume was approximately 8% lower than third quarter 2012, of which, volumes to external customers was approximately 6% lower.

Third quarter 2013 operating income of $18.7 million improved from third quarter 2012 operating income of $14.5 million. The Company’s financial results for third quarter 2013 were positively impacted by improved product mix totaling $1.7 million across all business segments. The Company also benefited from favorable raw materials and utilities pricing of $1.8 million. A $2.4 million reduction in manufacturing costs included lower transition costs related to the 15-year base paper supply agreement, as well as lower depreciation expense, offsetting unfavorable manufacturing operations. These reductions were partially offset by reduced operating income of $2.8 million resulting from lower shipment volumes. Third quarter 2012 cost of sales also included the $6.8 million settlement charge relating to the withdrawal from the multi-employer pension plan negotiated by the West Carrollton bargaining workforce. The prior year quarter also included $1.6 million of restructuring expense and other costs related to ceasing papermaking operations in Ohio. This $1.6 million charge included restructuring expense of $0.7 million for employee termination costs and fixed asset decommissioning expense and a $0.9 million noncash charge to cost of sales for accelerated depreciation. Third quarter 2012 financial results also included a $2.2 million environmental expense insurance recovery. Third quarter 2013 SG&A expenses were $1.9 million lower than the previous year quarter due to reduced expense associated with incentive compensation as well as lower distribution costs. 

The Company recorded net income of $6.5 million in third quarter 2013 compared to third quarter 2012 net income of $0.5 million. Current quarter net interest expense of $12.3 million was $2.5 million less than in third quarter 2012. Debt extinguishment expense of $0.3 million was also recorded during third quarter 2013 as a result of the June 2013 voluntary refinancing. Non-operating income of $0.3 million was recorded during third quarter 2013, compared to $0.8 million of non-operating income in the same quarter last year, largely due to a $0.5 million swing in foreign currency exchange.

Net sales for the first nine months of 2013 were $615.2 million, a decrease of $29.1 million, or 4.5%, compared to the first nine months of 2012. Net sales growth of 5.9% within the thermal papers segment, on a shipment volume increase of approximately 8%, partially offset lower net sales and shipment volumes within the carbonless papers and Encapsys business segments.

The Company recorded operating income of $57.0 million for the first nine months of 2013. This compared to an operating loss of $66.0 million for the same period last year. Improved product mix, favorable raw materials and utilities pricing and favorable manufacturing costs, which included lower transition costs related to the 15-year base paper supply agreement, as well as lower depreciation expense, improved current year operating income by $16.0 million. That improvement was partially offset by a $7.5 million reduction of operating income due to lower shipment volumes. The operating loss recorded for the first nine months of 2012 included $102.0 million of restructuring expense and other costs related to ceasing papermaking operations in Ohio. Noncash expense of $63.1 million for accelerated depreciation related to the decommissioning of papermaking assets as well as an $11.1 million noncash write-down of papermaking stores and spare parts inventories to lower of cost or market were included in cost of sales. A $0.6 million noncash write-off of construction in progress was also included in cost of sales. Third quarter 2012 year-to-date cost of sales also included the $6.8 million settlement charge relating to the withdrawal from the multi-employer pension plan negotiated by the West Carrollton bargaining workforce. Year-to-date 2012 restructuring expense of $27.2 million included $25.3 million of employee termination benefits, including severance, related benefits and pension costs and $1.9 million of decommissioning and other costs. The Company also recorded a $2.2 million environmental expense insurance recovery during this period of 2012. Year-to-date 2013 SG&A expenses were $15.3 million lower than the same previous year period due to reduced expense associated with incentive and deferred compensation, distribution costs and retiree benefits. This was partially offset by higher salaries expense and an increase in research trial costs. In addition, prior year SG&A expenses included $7.2 million of business combination transaction costs.

40

The Company reported a net loss of $10.3 million for the first nine months of 2013 compared to a net loss of $111.3 million reported last year. The 2013 loss includes $25.1 million of debt extinguishment expense recorded as a result of the June 2013 voluntary refinancing. Year-to-date 2013 net interest expense of $42.1 million was $2.8 million less than during the same period last year.

Business Segment Discussion

Third quarter 2013 net sales within the Company’s paper business were $194.4 million or $8.0 million lower than third quarter 2012 net sales. Net sales within the Company’s paper business during the first nine months of 2013 were $589.9 million or $30.8 million lower than the same period last year. Third quarter 2013 operating income of $18.5 million compared to third quarter 2012 operating income of $11.8 million. Operating income during the first nine months of 2013 was $56.7 million compared to an operating loss of $59.0 million for the same period last year. The year-on-year operating income variance was the result of the following (dollars in millions):

Carbonless Papers

•Third quarter 2013 carbonless net sales totaled $88.8 million, a decrease of $7.1 million, or 7.4%, from prior year. Shipment volumes during third quarter 2013 were approximately 9% lower than the same period last year. The Company has completed the full-year cycle following its decision to exit certain non-strategic international markets. While the Company’s carbonless paper sales are expected to decline, the rate of decline is more likely to reflect historical market trends of 7% to 9%. Sequentially, third quarter 2013 carbonless net sales were slightly higher than the previous quarter on comparatively flat shipment volumes. During the first nine months of 2013, carbonless net sales totaled $266.8 million, a decrease of $48.9 million, or 15.5% from prior year. On a year-to-date basis, 2013 carbonless shipment volumes were approximately 20% lower than last year. During the first nine months of 2013, the negative impact of lower shipment volumes was partially offset by the benefit realized from improved pricing.

•Third quarter 2013 carbonless papers operating income of $10.8 million compared to $10.0 million of operating income reported in third quarter 2012. Last year’s quarter included $0.9 million of restructuring and other related costs and $1.4 million of one-time transition costs related to the 15-year base paper supply agreement. During the first nine months of 2013, the Company reported operating income of $30.4 million compared to a $30.8 million operating loss for the same period in 2012. The prior year nine-month operating loss included $56.1 million of restructuring and other related costs and $2.8 million of one-time transition costs related to the base paper supply agreement.

Thermal Papers

•Third quarter 2013 thermal papers net sales totaled $105.7 million, a decrease of $0.8 million, or 0.8%, over the same prior year period. Shipment volumes were up for the period by approximately 2% when compared to third quarter 2012. Current quarter tag, label and entertainment (“TLE”) shipment volumes increased approximately 4% while receipt paper volumes were flat. Sequentially, third quarter 2013 thermal papers net sales were slightly higher than the previous quarter on increased shipment volumes of nearly 4%. During the first nine months of 2013, thermal papers net sales totaled $323.0 million, an increase of $18.0 million, or 5.9% from prior year. On a year-to-date basis, 2013 thermal shipment volumes were approximately 8% higher than last year, with receipt paper volumes growing by nearly 10% and TLE volumes increasing 6%.

41

•The thermal papers segment recorded operating income of $7.7 million for third quarter 2013. This compared to third quarter 2012 operating income of $1.8 million, which included a $6.8 million settlement charge relating to the negotiated withdrawal from the multi-employer pension plan covering the West Carrollton bargaining workforce. During the first nine months of 2013, operating income of $26.3 million was reported compared to a $28.2 million operating loss for the same period in 2012. The prior year nine-month operating loss included $45.9 million of restructuring and other related costs and $5.4 million of one-time transition costs related to the 15-year base paper supply agreement, as well as the previously-mentioned $6.8 million pension plan settlement charge.

Encapsys

•Encapsys third quarter 2013 net sales of $12.4 million were $0.4 million, or 3.1%, lower than third quarter 2012. Current quarter external net sales were 1.2% higher on reduced shipment volumes of approximately 6%. Year-to-date 2013 net sales of $38.5 million were $0.5 million, or 1.3%, lower than the same period last year. Current year-to-date external net sales were 7.4% higher on increased external shipment volumes of over 3%. Both current year periods benefited from improved product price.

•Encapsys third quarter 2013 operating income was $2.8 million compared to $3.4 million during the same quarter of 2012. Operating income for the nine months ended September 29, 2013 was $9.5 million. During the same period last year, Encapsys reported operating income of $8.4 million. Both current year periods benefited from improved product mix.

Unallocated Corporate Charges

•Unallocated corporate charges were $2.0 million for third quarter 2013 and $0 for third quarter 2012. Third quarter 2012 benefited from a $2.2 million environmental expense insurance recovery recorded during the period. Year-to-date 2013 expense was $7.2 million compared to $13.1 million for the first nine months of 2012. Prior year spending included $7.2 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 credit available under its revolving credit facility. The Company expects that cash on hand, internally generated cash flow and available credit from its revolving credit facility, 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 September 29, 2013, the Company had $7.0 million of cash and approximately $67.1 million of unused borrowing capacity under its revolving credit facility. The revolving credit facility had an outstanding balance of $20.0 million and net debt (total debt less cash) was $551.2 million. Despite the following significant cash payments made during the first nine months of 2013, $29.4 million of debt interest, $24.1 million of refinancing costs, $20.3 million of capital expenditures, $12.5 million of contributions to the pension plan and $9.1 million of net redemptions of common stock, net debt increased by only $37.5 million since year-end 2012.

The Company was in compliance with all debt covenants at September 29, 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, its 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 noncompliance with its 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 nine months of 2013 was $5.4 million compared to $9.7 million of net cash provided during the same nine-month period last year. Net loss of $10.3 million, adjusted for noncash charges, provided $24.3 million in operating cash for the period. Noncash charges included $22.8 million of depreciation and amortization, $2.0 million of noncash employer matching contributions to the KSOP and $3.0 million of other noncash charges. Net loss was also adjusted for $6.8 million of noncash debt refinancing costs related to the June 2013 voluntary refinancing. An increase in working capital used $4.2 million of cash. A decrease in the pension liability, which included $12.5 million of pension plan contributions, resulted in a $12.1 million net use of cash. Other uses of cash totaled $2.6 million.

42

The primary component of the change in working capital was an $8.3 million decrease in accounts payable and other accrued liabilities. During the current year period there was an $8.0 million reduction in accrued compensation largely due to the first quarter payment of bonuses earned in 2012, a $3.9 million reduction in accrued customer rebates and a $3.0 million payment of vested deferred compensation. This was offset by a $10.0 million increase in accrued interest related to debt interest due in October and December. Also during the nine months ended September 29, 2013, cash was used as inventories increased $1.3 million and other current assets increased $3.9 million. The other component of the change in working capital was a $9.3 million decrease in accounts receivable.

Cash Flows from Operating Activities-Appvion, Inc. and Subsidiaries.  Net cash used by operating activities during the first nine months of 2013 was $0.3 million. Cash provided by operating activities during the first nine months of 2012 was $2.7 million. As Appvion 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, Appvion 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 Appvion, Inc. and Subsidiaries.During the first nine months of 2013, $20.3 million of cash was used for investing activities, all of which was for the acquisition of property, plant and equipment. This compares to $9.0 million used during the first nine months of 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 provided by financing activities during the first nine months of 2013 was $20.1 million compared to $5.5 million of cash used during the prior year. During third quarter, $2.7 million of secured variable rate industrial development bonds, due August 2013, were repaid. During the first three quarters of 2013, the Company made mandatory debt repayments of $1.0 million, plus interest, on its State of Ohio loans. The Company also borrowed $155.3 million and repaid $159.0 million on its old revolving credit facility, as amended. The Company borrowed $129.1 million and repaid $109.1 million on its new revolving credit facility.

Year-to-date 2013 proceeds from the issuance of PDC redeemable common stock totaled $1.6 million. The ESOP trustee purchased this stock using pre-tax deferrals, rollovers and loan payments made by employees during the first six months of 2013. Payments to redeem PDC stock were $10.7 million.

Cash overdrafts decreased $2.9 million during the first nine months 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.

On June 28, 2013, Appvion completed a voluntary refinancing of a portion of its debt to extend debt maturities, reduce interest costs and increase financial flexibility and liquidity options. The refinancing included the execution of a new credit agreement providing for a $100 million five-year revolving line of credit due June 2018 and a $335 million first lien term loan due June 2019. The new line of credit replaced the five-year, $100 million revolving credit facility due February 2015. The new revolving credit facility provides for up to $100 million of revolving loans including a letter of credit sub-facility of up to $25 million and a swing line sub-facility of up to $5 million. Appvion’s borrowings under the revolving credit facility bears interest at Appvion’s option at either base rate plus 3.5% or LIBOR plus 4.5%, per annum.

Proceeds from the $335 million first lien term loan, less expenses and discounts, were $326.3 million. These proceeds were used to redeem $300.7 million of the 10.5% senior secured first lien notes due June 2015, pay $1.1 million of interest due on the notes, pay $18.1 million of note premiums and costs associated with the note redemption, repay $6.0 million of the old revolver and pay $0.4 million of interest and fees due on the old revolver. The $18.1 million is included in debt extinguishment expense on the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income (Loss) for the three and nine months ended September 29, 2013. In addition, there was a cash outlay of $7.2 million for debt acquisition costs. As a result of the refinancing, $6.7 million of unamortized deferred debt issuance costs and original issue discount associated with the redeemed senior secured first lien notes and old revolver were written off and included in debt extinguishment expense.

43

The first lien term loan bears interest at Appvion’s option at either base rate plus 3.5% or LIBOR, but not less than 1.25%, plus 4.5%, per annum. On July 30, 2013, Appvion fixed the interest rate at 7.24% on $100.0 million of this variable rate debt using an interest rate swap contract with a forward start date of September 14, 2014 and a maturity date of June 28, 2019. The term loan amortizes in equal quarterly installments in aggregate annual amounts equal to 1.0% of the original principal amount, with the balance payable on June 28, 2019. Also, within five business days after the year-end financial statements have been filed, Appvion shall prepay an aggregate principal amount of the term loan equal to the excess, if any, of (a) 50% of defined excess cash flow, provided that such percentage shall be reduced to (1) 25% based upon Appvion achieving a consolidated leverage ratio of less than 3.50 to 1.0 but greater than or equal to 2.50 to 1.0 and (2) 0% based upon Appvion achieving a consolidated leverage ratio of less than 2.50 to 1.0 minus (b) the aggregate amount of all prepayments of the revolving credit line which constitute permanent reductions of the revolving credit facility and all optional prepayments of the first lien term loan made during the year.

On July 31, 2013, Appvion redeemed the remaining $4.3 million of 10.5% senior secured first lien notes due June 2015, plus interest and $0.2 million of debt extinguishment expense. In addition, $0.1 million of unamortized deferred debt issuance costs and original issue discount were written off and included in debt extinguishment expense.

The new credit agreement ranks senior in right of payment to all existing and future subordinated indebtedness of Appvion and is secured by security interests in substantially all of the property and assets of Appvion and the debt guarantors. As noted above, the maturity date of the revolving credit facility is June 28, 2018 and the maturity date of the first lien term loan is June 28, 2019. If any amount of the second lien notes remains outstanding on June 30, 2015, then the maturity date of the revolving credit facility shall automatically be deemed to be June 30, 2015 and if any amount of the second lien notes remains outstanding on September 15, 2015, the maturity date of the first lien term loan shall automatically be deemed to be September 15, 2015. The new credit agreement is unconditionally, and jointly and severally, guaranteed by PDC and Appvion Canada, Ltd. It contains affirmative and negative covenants customary for similar credit facilities, which among other things, require Appvion to meet a minimum fixed charge coverage ratio under certain circumstances and restricts Appvion’s ability and the ability of Appvion’s subsidiaries, subject to certain exceptions, to incur additional indebtedness and liens, engage in sale and leaseback transactions, make investments, make loans and advances, transact certain asset sales, engage in mergers, acquisitions, consolidations, liquidations and dissolutions, pay dividends or make other payments in respect of equity interests and other restricted payments, engage in certain transactions with affiliates, limit capital expenditures and make prepayments, redemptions and repurchases of other indebtedness.

Cash Flows from Financing Activities-Appvion,  Inc. and Subsidiaries. Net cash provided by financing activities during the first nine months of 2013 was $25.7 million compared to cash provided of $1.5 million during the prior year period. As Appvion 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 Appvion 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 first quarter ended March 31, 2013 and the disclosures have been included in its condensed consolidated financial statements in Note 18, Accumulated other Comprehensive Income.

44

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 first 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. Other than with respect to the update below, there have been no material changes in the quantitative or qualitative exposure to market risk from that described in the Form 10‑K.

Interest Rate Risk. As a result of the June 28, 2013 voluntary refinancing, the Company increased its variable rate debt to $341.0 million. The new $335.0 million first lien term loan bears interest at Appvion’s option at either base rate plus 3.5% or LIBOR, but not less than 1.25%, plus 4.5%, per annum. The current annual interest rate charged is 5.75%. On July 30, 2013, Appvion fixed the interest rate at 7.24% on $100.0 million of this variable rate debt using an interest rate swap contract with a forward start date of September 14, 2014 and a maturity date of June 28, 2019. 

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 third quarter 2013 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, PDC’s internal control over financial reporting.

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.

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 factors 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.

Appvion is obligated to share defense and liability costs with NCR as determined by a 1998 agreement and a 2005 arbitration determination (“the Arbitration”).

On April 10, 2012, the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Wisconsin granted Appvion’s motion for summary judgment and dismissed all claims against Appvion in the enforcement action. The decision establishes that Appvion is no longer a potentially responsible party (“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 Appvion’s rights or obligations to share defense and liability costs with NCR in accordance with the terms of the Arbitration arising out of Appvion’s acquisition of assets from NCR in 1978 while it was a subsidiary of B.A.T Industries Limited (“BAT”). Appvion and BAT have joint and several liability under the Arbitration for certain costs relating to the Lower Fox River and other potential future sites. Appvion has initiated the dispute resolution procedures outlined in the 1998 agreement. Issues in dispute include the scope of Appvion’s liability under the agreement, if any, as well as funding requests and supporting documentation from NCR (the “Dispute Resolution”). The current carrying amount of Appvion’s liability under the Arbitration is $60.8 million, which represents Appvion’s best estimate of potential amounts to be paid. 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 Appvion with the same claim, seeking a declaration that BAT is indemnified by Appvion. Appvion 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 Appvion 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. Appvion 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 bases 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 Appvion 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. Appvion has recorded a $60.8 million environmental indemnification receivable as of September 29, 2013.

46

Appvion cannot predict the final outcomes of the various proceedings that will determine the portion of NCR’s remediation costs that it may be obligated to share under the Arbitration, nor can it anticipate that AWA will have sufficient resources to support the indemnification agreements. If the Arbitration obligation exceeds AWA’s financial capability, and BAT fails to meet its obligation under Arbitration, Appvion could be required to pay such excess, which could materially adversely affect its business, financial condition and results of operations.

Appvion’s former parent, AWA, may fail to comply with its indemnification obligations related to the acquisition of Appvion.

As amended in, and as limited by the terms of the purchase agreement relating to the acquisition of Appvion, AWA and two of its affiliates have agreed to indemnify PDC and Appvion for certain losses resulting from (1) inaccuracies in the environmental representations and warranties made by AWA and its affiliates, (2) certain known environmental matters that existed at the closing of the acquisition, (3) environmental matters related to the businesses of Newton Falls, Inc., Appleton Coated LLC and several other of the Company’s former affiliates and subsidiaries and (4) environmental matters relating to the real property on which the Company’s former Camp Hill, Pennsylvania plant and the Company’s current distribution center are located that existed prior to its sale of the Camp Hill plant to a third-party.

AWA has also agreed, subject to certain limitations, to indemnify Appvion and PDC for specified environmental liabilities relating to the contamination of the Lower Fox River and other potential future sites. If the indemnified matters result in significant liabilities for the Company, and AWA and/or its affiliates are unable or unwilling to honor these indemnification obligations, the Company could be required to pay for these liabilities, which could materially adversely affect its business, financial condition and results of operations.

The Company has a substantial amount of indebtedness outstanding and, as a result, it is operating as a highly leveraged company.

The Company’s total debt at September 29, 2013, was approximately $558 million. For a description of the components of the Company’s debt, as well as discussion of the June 28, 2013 voluntary refinancing of a portion of its debt, see Note 15 of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. This large amount of indebtedness could:

•         make it more difficult for the Company to satisfy its financial obligations with respect to the revolving credit facility, the first lien term loan, the second lien notes and senior subordinated notes, as amended;

•         require the Company to dedicate a substantial portion of cash flow from operations to payments on indebtedness, thereby reducing the availability of cash flow to fund working capital, capital expenditures, acquisitions, research and development or general corporate activities;

•         limit the Company’s ability to obtain additional financing for working capital, capital expenditures, acquisitions, research and development or general corporate purposes and

•         limit the Company’s flexibility in planning for, or reacting to, changes in its businesses and the industries in which it operates.

Furthermore, although the Company’s ability to borrow money is restricted by the terms of its various debt agreements, it may be possible for the Company to incur even more debt and, if it does so, these risks could intensify.

The Company’s ability to service its debt is dependent on its future operating results and the Company cannot be sure that it will be able to meet its debt obligations as they come due.

The Company’s ability to meet its payment obligations, relating to its indebtedness, is subject to a variety of factors, including, for example, changes in:

•         demand for and selling prices of the Company’s products;

•         competition;

•         costs of raw materials and operating costs;

•         the rate of decline in sales of carbonless paper products;

•         environmental regulations and

•         general economic conditions.

47

The Company expects to use cash flow from operations to pay its expenses and scheduled interest and principal payments due under its outstanding indebtedness. Its ability to make these payments depends on its future performance, which is affected by financial, business, economic and other factors, many of which the Company cannot control. The recent recession and credit crisis and related turmoil in the global financial system has had and may continue to have an adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows. Consequently, its business may not generate sufficient cash flow from operations in the future and its anticipated growth in revenue and cash flow may not be realized, either or both of which could result in the Company being unable to repay or pay interest on its indebtedness or to fund other liquidity needs. If the Company does not have enough money, it may be required to refinance all or part of its then-existing debt, sell assets or borrow more money. The Company cannot make any assurances that it will be able to accomplish any of these alternatives on terms acceptable to it, or at all. In addition, the terms of existing or future debt agreements, including the first lien term loan, the revolving credit facility and the indentures governing the notes, may restrict the Company from adopting any of these alternatives. The failure to generate sufficient cash flow or to achieve any of these alternatives could significantly adversely affect the value of its indebtedness and its ability to pay the amounts due. In addition, if the Company defaults in the payment of amounts due, it would give rise to an event of default under the note indentures and possible acceleration of amounts due under its outstanding indebtedness. In the event of any acceleration, there can be no assurance that the Company will have enough cash to repay its outstanding indebtedness. On June 28, 2013, the Company completed a voluntary refinancing of a portion of its debt. The indebtedness incurred under the new first lien term loan and revolving line of credit bears interest at variable rates, and therefore if interest rates increase, debt service requirements would increase. On July 30, 2013, Appvion fixed the interest rate at 7.24%, on $100.0 million of this variable rate debt using an interest rate swap contract with a forward start date of September 14, 2014 and a maturity date of June 28, 2019. 

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 April 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 third review determination was based on the Department’s finding that the German manufacturer knowingly and intentionally submitted fraudulent responses to the Department. The German manufacturer has appealed each of the final review determinations. Finally, the Department and the ITC are required to conduct reviews five years after an antidumping or countervailing duties order is issued to determine whether revoking the order would be likely to lead to continuation or recurrence of dumping or subsidies and of material injury (“Sunset Review”). In October 2013, the Company filed notices of its intent to participate in the Sunset Review of the German and Chinese duties. Upon final resolution of the appeals, the fourth administrative review and the Sunset Review, certain of the duties could be reduced, increased or eliminated.
