NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)

NOTE 1 - ORGANIZATION AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION

On August 8, 2003, the corporation formerly known as Graphic Packaging International Corporation merged with and into Riverwood Acquisition Sub LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of Riverwood Holding, Inc. (“Riverwood Holding”), with Riverwood Acquisition Sub LLC as the surviving entity (the “Merger”). At the closing of the Merger, one share of common stock of Riverwood Holding was exchanged for each share of common stock of Graphic Packaging International Corporation. Riverwood Acquisition Sub LLC then merged into Riverwood Holding, which was renamed Graphic Packaging Corporation. After the Merger, (1) RIC Holding, Inc. merged into Graphic Packaging Holdings, Inc., which was renamed GPI Holding, Inc. and (2) the corporation formerly known as Graphic Packaging Corporation merged into Riverwood International Corporation (“RIC”) which was renamed Graphic Packaging International, Inc. (“Graphic Packaging International”).

References to the “Company” are to Riverwood Holding and its subsidiaries for periods prior to the Merger and to Graphic Packaging Corporation and its subsidiaries for periods after the Merger. Graphic Packaging International Corporation and its subsidiaries for periods prior to the Merger are referred to herein as “Graphic.”

For accounting purposes, the Merger was accounted for as a purchase by the Company. Under the purchase method of accounting, the assets and liabilities of Graphic were recorded, as of the date of the closing of the Merger, at their respective fair values and added to those of the Company. The difference between the purchase price and the fair market values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed of Graphic was recorded as goodwill. The historical financial statements of Riverwood Holding became the historical financial statements of Graphic Packaging Corporation.

Graphic Packaging Corporation and GPI Holding, Inc., its wholly-owned subsidiary, conduct no significant business and have no independent assets or operations other than their ownership of Graphic Packaging International. Graphic Packaging Corporation and GPI Holding, Inc. fully and unconditionally guarantee substantially all of the debt of Graphic Packaging International.

The Company’s Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements include all subsidiaries in which the Company has the ability to exercise direct or indirect control over operating and financial policies. Intercompany transactions and balances are eliminated in consolidation.

In the Company’s opinion, the accompanying financial statements contain all normal recurring adjustments necessary to present fairly the financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the interim periods. The Company has condensed or omitted certain notes and other information from the interim financial statements presented in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Therefore, these financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2004, as amended. In addition, the preparation of the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual amounts could differ from those estimates.

The Company has reclassified the presentation of certain prior period information to conform to the current presentation format.

NOTE 2 — SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

For a summary of the Company’s significant accounting policies, please refer to the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2004, as amended.

As permitted by Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 123 “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation,” the Company continues to apply intrinsic value accounting for its stock option plans under Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25 (“APB 25”), “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees.” Compensation cost for stock options, if any, is measured as the excess of the market price of the Company’s common stock at the date of grant over the exercise price to be paid by the grantee to acquire the stock. The Company has adopted disclosure-only provisions of SFAS No. 123 and SFAS No. 148, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation—Transition and Disclosure—an Amendment of FASB Statement No. 123.” If the Company had elected to recognize compensation expense based upon the fair value at the grant dates for awards under these plans, the Company’s Net Loss would have been as follows:

	Three Months Ended						Six Months Ended
				As Restated			As Restated			As Restated
(Amounts in Millions, Except Per Share Amounts)	June 30, 2005			June 30, 2004			June 30, 2005			June 30, 2004

NOTE 3— INVENTORIES

The major classes of inventories were as follows:

(Amounts in Millions)	June 30, 2005		December 31, 2004
Finished goods	$	156.5	$	166.9
Work in progress	21.5		14.9
Raw materials	71.5		76.2
Supplies	45.3		43.2
Total	$	294.8	$	301.2

Raw materials and consumables used in the production process such as wood chips and chemicals are valued at purchase cost on a first-in, first-out (“FIFO”) basis upon receipt. Work in progress and finished goods inventories are valued at the cost of raw material consumed plus direct manufacturing costs (such as labor, utilities and supplies) as incurred and allocated manufacturing overhead.

NOTE 4 — CONTINGENCIES AND LEGAL MATTERS

The Company is subject to a broad range of foreign, federal, state and local environmental, health and safety laws and regulations, including those governing discharges to air, soil and water, the management, treatment and disposal of hazardous substances, the management, treatment and disposal of solid and hazardous wastes, the investigation and remediation of contamination resulting from historical site operations and releases of hazardous substances, and the health and safety of employees. The Company’s potential environmental liabilities and obligations may result in significant costs, which could negatively impact its financial condition and results of operations. In addition, capital expenditures may be necessary for the Company to comply with such laws and regulations, including the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s (“EPA”) regulations mandating stringent controls on air and water discharges from pulp and paper mills (referred to herein as the “cluster rules”). Any failure to comply with environmental, health and safety laws or any permits and authorizations required thereunder could subject the Company to fines, corrective action or other sanctions. In addition, some of the Company’s current and former facilities are the subject of environmental investigations and remediations resulting from historical operations and the release of hazardous substances or other constituents. Some current and former facilities have a history of industrial usage for which investigation and remediation obligations may be imposed in the future or for which indemnification claims may be asserted against the Company. The Company cannot predict with certainty future investigation or remediation costs or future costs relating to historical usage or indemnification claims. Also, potential future closures or sales of facilities may necessitate further investigation and may result in future remediation at those facilities. The Company will continue to review and revise its estimate of potential, contingent environmental liabilities related to past, present and future operations as additional information related to its environmental liabilities is obtained.

The Company is a party to a number of lawsuits arising in the ordinary conduct of its business. Although the timing and outcome of these lawsuits cannot be predicted with certainty, the Company does not believe that disposition of these lawsuits will have a material adverse effect on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

NOTE 5 — BUSINESS SEGMENT INFORMATION

The Company reports its results in two business segments: paperboard packaging and containerboard/other. These segments are evaluated by the chief operating decision maker based primarily on income from operations. The Company’s reportable segments are based upon strategic business units that offer different products. The paperboard packaging business segment includes the production and sale of paperboard for its beverage multiple packaging and consumer products packaging businesses from its West Monroe, Louisiana, Macon, Georgia, Kalamazoo, Michigan and Norrköping, Sweden mills; carton converting facilities in the United States, Europe, Brazil and Canada; and the design, manufacture and installation of packaging machinery related to the assembly of cartons. The containerboard/other business segment primarily includes the production and sale of linerboard, corrugating medium and kraft paper from paperboard mills in the United States.

Business segment information is as follows:

	Three Months Ended						Six Months Ended
(Amounts in Millions)	June 30, 2005			June 30, 2004			June 30, 2005			June 30, 2004

Total	$	23.6		$	36.7		$	35.9		$	63.4

NOTE 6 – FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS, DERIVATIVES AND HEDGING ACTIVITIES

The Company is exposed to fluctuations in interest rates on its variable debt, fluctuations in foreign currency and variability in cash flows attributable to certain commodity purchases. The Company actively monitors these fluctuations and periodically uses derivatives and other financial instruments to hedge exposures to interest, currency and commodity risks. The Company does not trade or use derivative instruments with the objective of earning financial gains on interest rates, currency rates or commodity pricing, nor does it use leveraged instruments or instruments where there are no underlying exposures identified.

Interest Rate Risk

The Company uses interest rate swaps to manage interest rate risks caused by interest rate changes on its variable rate Term Loan facility. The differential to be paid or received under these agreements is recognized as an adjustment to interest expense related to the debt. At June 30, 2005, the Company had interest rate swap agreements with a notional amount of $880 million, which expire on various dates from 2005 to 2008 and under which the Company will pay fixed rates of 2.31% to 4.53% and receive three-month LIBOR.

During the six months ended June 30, 2005, there was no ineffective portion related to changes in the fair value of the interest rate swap agreements. Additionally, there were no amounts excluded from the measure of effectiveness.

During the six months ended June 30, 2004, there was $1.9 million determined to be the ineffective portion related to changes in the fair value of the interest rate swap agreements. Additionally, there were no amounts excluded from the measure of effectiveness.

Commodity Risk

To manage risks associated with future variability in cash flows and price risk attributable to certain commodity purchases, the Company entered into natural gas swap contracts to hedge prices for a significant portion of its natural gas requirements through December 2005. Such contracts are designated as cash flow hedges and are accounted for by deferring the quarterly change in fair value of the outstanding contracts in Accumulated Derivative Instruments Gain (Loss). On the date a contract matures, the resulting gain or loss is reclassified into Cost of Sales concurrently with the recognition of the commodity purchased. The ineffective portion of the swap contracts change in fair value, if any, would be recognized in earnings. During the six months ended June 30, 2005, there was a minimal amount of ineffective portion related to changes in fair value of natural gas swap contracts. Additionally, there were no amounts excluded from the measure of effectiveness. At June 30, 2004, no natural gas swap contracts existed.

Foreign Currency Risk

The Company enters into forward exchange contracts to manage risks associated with future variability in cash flows resulting from anticipated foreign currency transactions that may be adversely affected by changes in exchange rates. Gains/losses, if any, related to these contracts are recognized in income when the anticipated transaction affects income.

At June 30, 2005 and December 31, 2004, multiple forward exchange contracts existed that expire on various dates throughout 2005. Those purchased forward exchange contracts outstanding at June 30, 2005, when measured in U.S. dollars at June 30, 2005 exchange rates, had notional amounts totaling $67.6 million. Those purchased forward exchange contracts outstanding at December 31, 2004, when measured in U.S. dollars at December 31, 2004 exchange rates, had notional amounts totaling $154.8 million.

No amounts were reclassified to earnings during the first six months of 2005 or 2004 in connection with forecasted transactions that were no longer considered probable of occurring and there was no material ineffective portion related to changes in the fair value of foreign currency forward contracts. Additionally, there were no amounts excluded from the measure of effectiveness.

Derivatives not Designated as Hedges

The Company enters into forward exchange contracts to effectively hedge substantially all accounts receivable resulting from transactions denominated in foreign currencies in order to manage risks associated

with foreign currency transactions adversely affected by changes in exchange rates. At June 30, 2005 and December 31, 2004, multiple foreign currency forward exchange contracts existed, with maturities ranging up to six months. Those forward currency exchange contracts outstanding at June 30, 2005, when aggregated and measured in U.S. dollars at June 30, 2005 exchange rates, had net notional amounts totaling $2.6 million. Those forward currency exchange contracts outstanding at December 31, 2004, when aggregated and measured in U.S. dollars at December 31, 2004 exchange rates, had net notional amounts totaling $12.8 million. Generally, unrealized gains and losses resulting from these contracts are recognized in operations and approximately offset corresponding unrealized gains and losses recognized on the hedged accounts receivable. These contracts are presently being and will continue to be marked to market through the income statement.

Accumulated Derivative Instruments Gain (Loss)

The following is a reconciliation of changes in the fair value of the interest rate swap agreements, foreign currency forward contracts and natural gas swap agreements which have been recorded as Accumulated Derivative Instruments Gain (Loss) in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet at June 30, 2005 and at June 30, 2004, and as Derivative Instruments (Loss) Gain in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive (Loss) Income for the six months ended June 30, 2005 and 2004.

(Amounts in millions)	2005			2004
Balance at January 1	$	(9.0	)	$	(12.7	)
Reclassification to earnings	4.2			(6.2		)
Current period change in fair value	7.9			12.0

Balance at June 30	$	3.1		$	(6.9	)

The balance recorded in Accumulated Derivative Instruments Gain (Loss) at June 30, 2005 is expected to be reclassified into future earnings, contemporaneously with and offsetting changes in the related hedged exposure. The actual amount that will be reclassified to future earnings over the next 12 months may vary from this amount as a result of changes in market conditions.

Note 7 – PENSIONS AND OTHER POSTRETIREMENT BENEFITS

The Company maintains defined benefit pension plans for its U.S. employees. Benefits are based on years of service and average base compensation levels over a period of years. The Company’s funding policies with respect to its U.S. pension plans are to contribute funds to trusts as necessary to at least meet the minimum funding requirements of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code. Plan assets are invested in equities and fixed income securities.

The pension expense related to the U.S. plans consisted of the following:

	Three Months Ended						Six Months Ended
(Amounts in Millions)	June 30, 2005			June 30, 2004			June 30, 2005			June 30, 2004
Service Cost	$	3.5		$	3.7		$	7.4		$	6.9
Interest Cost	8.1			7.5			15.6			14.3
Expected Return on Plan Assets	(7.8		)	(6.9		)	(15.2		)	(13.8		)
Amortizations:
Prior Service Cost	0.4			0.4			1.1			0.9
Actuarial Loss	0.9			0.9			1.7			1.8

Net Periodic Pension Cost	$	5.1		$	5.6		$	10.6		$	10.1

The Company made contributions of $2.1 million and nil to its U.S. pension plans during the first six months of 2005 and 2004, respectively. The Company expects to make contributions of $17.6 million in 2005.

The Company sponsors postretirement health care plans that provide medical and life insurance coverage to eligible salaried and hourly retired U.S. employees and their dependents. No postretirement medical benefits are offered to salaried employees who began employment with the Company after December 31, 1993 or to Graphic employees hired after June 15, 1999.

The other postretirement benefits expense consisted of the following:

	Three Months Ended				Six Months Ended
(Amounts in Millions)	June 30, 2005		June 30, 2004		June 30, 2005		June 30, 2004
Service Cost	$	0.3	$	0.2	$	0.5	$	0.4
Interest Cost	0.7		0.7		1.5		1.5
Amortizations:
Prior Service Cost	—		—		—		(0.1		)
Actuarial Loss	0.2		0.1		0.4		0.2

Net Periodic Postretirement Benefits Cost	$	1.2	$	1.0	$	2.4	$	2.0

In December 2003, President Bush signed into law the Medicare Prescription Drug, Improvement and Modernization Act of 2003 (the “Act”). The Act expands Medicare primarily by adding a prescription drug benefit for Medicare-eligible individuals beginning in 2006. The Act did not have a significant impact on the Company’s financial position and results of operations.

The Company made benefit payments of $1.3 million and $1.6 million during the first six months of 2005 and 2004, respectively. The Company estimates its postretirement benefit payments for 2005 to be $3.6 million.

Note 8 – RESTRUCTURING CHARGES

The Company adopted a plan in the first quarter of 2004 to restructure its operations by closing facilities, relocating equipment and severing employees in an effort to better position the Company to operate in the current business environment. Components of the restructuring charges for the six months ended June 30, 2005 and 2004 are as follows:

	Three Months Ended					Six Months Ended

The initial purchase price allocation associated with the Merger of $7.2 million recorded at March 31, 2004 was reduced by $0.9 million in the second quarter of 2004 primarily for facility restoration and carrying costs as a building was sold sooner than anticipated. Through June 30, 2005, the Company has made payments for severance and other employee termination-related charges in the amount of $1.3 million and for equipment removal and facilities restoration in the amount of $1.0 million, both of which reduced the initial reserve detailed above. The Company anticipates the majority of cash payments to be made under the restructuring plan will occur in the third quarter of 2005. The restructuring activities described herein are expected to be completed by the end of 2005 and affect only the paperboard packaging segment. As of June 30, 2005, the Company had $4.0 million accrued for restructuring, as follows:

	Balance at December 31, 2004		Adjustments (Statement of Operations Impact)				Purchase Price Allocation		Cash Payments					Balance at June 30, 2005

NOTE 9 – RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

In November 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued SFAS No. 151, “Inventory Costs, an Amendment of ARB No. 43, Chapter 4” (“SFAS No. 151”), which is effective for inventory costs incurred during fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2005. SFAS No. 151 addresses financial accounting and reporting for inventory costs. The Company does not believe the adoption of SFAS No. 151 will have a significant impact on its financial position and results of operations.

In December 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 153, “Exchanges of Nonmonetary Assets, an Amendment of APB Opinion No. 29” (“SFAS No. 153”), which is effective for nonmonetary asset exchanges occurring in fiscal periods beginning after June 15, 2005. SFAS No. 153 addresses the measurement of exchanges of nonmonetary assets. The Company does not believe that the adoption of SFAS No. 153 will have a significant impact on its financial position and results of operations.

In December 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 123 (Revised 2004), “Share-Based Payment’’ (“SFAS No. 123R”) which is effective for new awards and awards modified or settled occurring in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2004. SFAS No. 123R amends and clarifies the accounting for stock compensation plans under SFAS No. 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation.” The Company previously reported that it will adopt SFAS No. 123R for the quarter ending September 30, 2005. On April 14, 2005, however, the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) deferred the required adoption date of SFAS No. 123R to the beginning of the first quarter of 2006, at which time the Company will adopt SFAS No. 123R. The Company does not believe that such adoption of SFAS No. 123R will have a significant impact on its financial position and results of operations.

Financial Accounting Standards Board Interpretation No. 47, “Accounting for Conditional Asset Retirement Obligations” (“FIN No. 47”), was issued in March 2005 and is effective no later than the end of fiscal years ending after December 15, 2005. FIN No. 47 clarifies the term conditional asset retirement obligation as used in FASB Statement No. 143, “Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations.’’ The Company has not determined if the adoption of FIN No. 47 will have a significant impact on its financial position and results of operations.

In May 2005, the FASB issued SFAS No. 154 “Accounting Changes and Error Corrections, a replacement of APB Opinion No. 20 and Statement No. 3” (“SFAS No. 154”). Previously, APB Opinion No. 20 “Accounting Changes” and SFAS No. 3 “Reporting Accounting Changes in Interim Financial Statements” required the inclusion of the cumulative effect of changes in accounting principle in net income of the period of the change. SFAS No. 154 requires companies to recognize a change in accounting principle, including a change required in a new accounting pronouncement when the pronouncement does not include specific transition provisions, retrospectively to prior periods’ financial statements. The Company will assess the impact of a change in accounting principle in accordance with SFAS No. 154 when such a change arises after the effective date of January 1, 2006.

NOTE 10 - DEBT

At June 30, 2005 and December 31, 2004, Long-Term Debt consisted of the following:

(Amounts in Millions)	June 30, 2005		December 31, 2004
Senior Notes with interest payable semi-annually at 8.5%, payable in 2011	$	425.0	$	425.0
Senior Subordinated Notes with interest payable semi-annually at 9.5%, payable in 2013	425.0		425.0
Senior Secured Term Loan Facility with interest payable at various dates at floating rates (5.51% at June 30, 2005 and 4.52% at December 31, 2004) payable through 2010	1,158.0		1,158.0
Senior Secured Revolving Facility with interest payable at various dates at floating rates (6.53% at June 30, 2005) payable in 2009	35.8		—
Other	4.0		3.8
	2,047.8		2,011.8
Less, current portion	7.2		0.8
Total	$	2,040.6	$	2,011.0

Principal and interest payments under the Term Loan Facility and the Revolving Credit Facility, together with principal and interest payments on the Senior Notes and the Senior Subordinated Notes, represent significant liquidity requirements for the Company. Based upon current levels of operations, anticipated cost-savings and expectations as to future growth, the Company believes that cash generated from operations, together with amounts available under its Revolving Credit Facility and other available financing sources, will be adequate to permit the Company to meet its debt service obligations, capital expenditure program requirements, ongoing operating costs and working capital needs, although no assurance can be given in this regard. The Company’s future financial and operating performance, ability to service or refinance its debt and ability to comply with the covenants and restrictions contained in its debt agreements, will be subject to future economic conditions and to financial, business and other factors, many of which are beyond the Company’s control and will be substantially dependent on the selling prices and demand for the Company’s products, raw material and energy costs, and the Company’s ability to successfully implement its overall business and profitability strategies.

The Senior Secured Credit Agreement, which governs the Term Loan Facility and the Revolving Credit Facility, imposes restrictions on the Company’s ability to make capital expenditures and both the Senior Secured Credit Agreement and the indentures governing the Senior Notes and Senior Subordinated Notes (the “Notes”) limit the Company’s ability to incur additional indebtedness. Such restrictions, together with the highly leveraged nature of the Company, could limit the Company’s ability to respond to market conditions, meet its capital spending program, provide for unanticipated capital investments or take advantage of business opportunities. The covenants contained in the Senior Secured Credit Agreement, among other things, restrict the ability of the Company to dispose of assets, incur additional indebtedness, incur guarantee obligations, prepay other indebtedness, make dividend and other restricted payments, create liens, make equity or debt investments, make acquisitions, modify the terms of indentures under which the Notes are issued, engage in mergers or consolidations, change the business conducted by the Company and its subsidiaries, make capital expenditures and engage in certain transactions with affiliates.

The financial covenants in the Senior Secured Credit Agreement specify, among other things, the following requirements for each four quarter period ending during the following test periods:

Test Period	Consolidated Debt to Credit Agreement EBITDA Leverage Ratio(A)	Credit Agreement EBITDA to Consolidated Interest Expense Ratio(A)
December 31, 2004 - December 30, 2005	6.15 to 1.00	2.25 to 1.00
December 31, 2005 - December 30, 2006	5.75 to 1.00	2.35 to 1.00
December 31, 2006 - December 30, 2007	5.25 to 1.00	2.50 to 1.00
December 31, 2007 - December 30, 2008	4.75 to 1.00	2.75 to 1.00
December 31, 2008 - June 30, 2010	4.50 to 1.00	2.90 to 1.00

Note:

(A) Credit Agreement EBITDA is calculated in accordance with the definitions contained in the Company’s Senior Secured Credit Agreement. Credit Agreement EBITDA is defined as consolidated net income before consolidated interest expense, non-cash expenses and charges, total income tax expense, depreciation expense, expense associated with amortization of intangibles and other assets, non-cash provisions for reserves for discontinued operations, extraordinary, unusual or non-recurring gains or losses or charges or credits, gain or loss associated with sale or write-down of assets not in the ordinary course of business, and any income or loss accounted for by the equity method of accounting.

At June 30, 2005, the Company was in compliance with the financial covenants in the Senior Secured Credit Agreement, as amended. If the negative impact of inflationary pressures on key inputs continues or other factors have a negative impact on the Company’s ability to increase its profitability, the Company may not be able to maintain its compliance with certain financial covenants in its Senior Secured Credit Agreement. The Company’s ability to comply in future periods with the financial covenants in the Senior Secured Credit Agreement will depend on its ongoing financial and operating performance, which in turn will be subject to economic conditions and to financial, business and other factors, many of which are beyond the Company’s control and will be substantially dependent on the selling prices for the Company’s products, raw material and energy costs, and the Company’s ability to successfully implement its overall business and profitability strategies. If a violation of any of the covenants occurred, the Company would attempt to obtain a waiver or an amendment from its lenders, although no assurance can be given that the Company would be successful in this regard. The Senior Secured Credit Agreement and the indentures governing the Senior Subordinated Notes and the Senior Notes have covenants as well as certain cross-default or cross-acceleration provisions; failure to comply with these covenants in any agreement could result in a violation of such agreement which could, in turn, lead to violations of other agreements pursuant to such cross-default or cross-acceleration provisions. If an event of default occurs, the lenders are entitled to declare all amounts owed to be due and payable immediately.

The Senior Secured Credit Agreement is collateralized by substantially all of the Company’s domestic assets.

NOTE 11 - RESTATEMENT

Previously issued financial statements for the three months ended March 31, 2005 and financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2004, 2003 and 2002 have been restated to reflect adjustments to deferred taxes. Historically, the Company accounted for its deferred tax liability related to goodwill as a reversing taxable temporary difference. Following the adoption of Financial Accounting Standard No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets, on January 1, 2002, the deferred tax liability related to the Company’s goodwill must be considered as a liability related to an asset with an indefinite life. Therefore, the deferred tax liability does not amortize and is not available as a source of taxable income to support the realization of deferred tax assets created by other deductible temporary timing differences. Without the deferred tax liability related to the Company’s goodwill, the Company does not believe it is more likely than not it will realize its deferred tax assets and therefore, the Company was required to record an additional tax expense to increase its deferred tax asset valuation allowance. The restatement adjustments are non-cash and had no effect on operating cash flows nor on the Company’s compliance with its debt covenants.

A summary of the significant effects of this restatement is as follows:

	March 31, 2005
	As

The impact of the non-cash adjustments increased income tax expense and net loss by $19.1 million, $12.8 million and $37.8 million for the full years 2004, 2003, and 2002, respectively.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Information Concerning Forward-Looking Statements

Certain statements of Graphic Packaging Corporation’s expectations, including, but not limited to, statements regarding the timing of and expenses related to restructuring activities, pension contributions and benefit payments, cost savings from restructuring activities and merger synergies, capital expenditures, the impact of inflation of energy, chemical and fiber costs, the outcome of litigation and environmental proceedings and the reduction of debt in this report constitute “forward-looking statements” as defined in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Such statements are based on currently available operating, financial and competitive information and are subject to various risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from the Company’s historical experience and its present expectations. These risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to, the Company’s ability to implement its business strategies, the Company’s substantial amount of debt, continuing pressure for lower cost products, inflation of and volatility in raw materials and energy costs, rising labor costs, the Company’s ability to pass these increased costs on to its customers, unfavorable currency translation movements and other risks of conducting business internationally, and the impact of regulatory and litigation matters, including those that impact the Company’s ability to protect and use its intellectual property. Undue reliance should not be placed on such forward-looking statements, as such statements speak only as of the date on which they are made and the Company undertakes no obligation to update such statements. Additional information regarding these and other risks is contained in the Company’s other periodic filings with the SEC.

OVERVIEW

The Company’s objective is to strengthen its position as a leading provider of paperboard packaging solutions. To achieve this objective, the Company is implementing strategies to expand market share in its current markets and to identify and penetrate new markets; to capitalize on the Company’s customer relationships, business competencies, and mills and converting assets; to develop and market innovative products and applications; and to continue to reduce costs by focusing on operational improvements. The Company’s ability to fully implement its strategies and achieve its objectives, however, is affected by several significant factors beyond the Company’s control, including (i) inflation of raw material and other costs, which the Company cannot always pass through to its customers, and (ii) the effect of the overcapacity in the worldwide paperboard packaging industry. The Company anticipates using its free cash flows to reduce debt.

The Restatement

On August 9, 2005, Graphic Packaging Corporation (the “Company”) filed Amendment No. 2 on Form 10-K/A to its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2004 and Amendment No. 1 on Form 10-Q/A to its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the three months ended March 31, 2005 with the Securities and Exchange Commission. These amendments restate the Company’s previously issued financial statements for the full years ended December 31, 2004, 2003 and 2002, and the quarterly period ended March 31, 2005 to reflect corrections in accounting for deferred taxes. Historically, the Company accounted for its deferred tax liability related to goodwill as a reversing taxable temporary difference. Following the adoption of Financial Accounting Standard No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets, on January 1, 2002, the deferred tax liability related to the Company’s goodwill must be considered as a liability related to an asset with an indefinite life. Therefore, the deferred tax liability does not amortize and is not available as a source of taxable income to support the realization of deferred tax assets created by other deductible temporary timing differences. Without the deferred tax liability related to the Company’s goodwill, the Company does not believe it is more likely than not it will realize its deferred tax assets and therefore, the Company was required to record an additional tax expense to increase its deferred tax asset valuation allowance. The impact of the adjustments increased income tax expense and net loss by $4.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2005. The restatement adjustments are non-cash and had no effect on operating cash flows nor on the Company’s compliance with its debt covenants including the Company’s Credit Agreement EBITDA.

Significant Factors That Impact The Company’s Business

The Company’s net sales, income from operations, cash flows from operations and financial condition are influenced by a variety of factors.

Sales. The Company historically experienced stable pricing for its integrated beverage multiple packaging products and moderately cyclical pricing for its other product offerings. Because some products can be packaged in different types of materials, the Company’s sales are affected by competition from other manufacturers’ coated unbleached kraft paperboard, or CUK board, and other substrates — solid bleached sulfate, or SBS, recycled clay coated news, or CCN, and, internationally, white lined chipboard, or WLC — as well as by general market conditions. In addition, the Company’s sales historically are driven by consumer buying habits in the markets its customers serve. New product introductions and promotional activity by the Company’s customers and the Company’s introduction of new packaging products also impacted its sales. The Company’s containerboard business is subject to conditions in the cyclical worldwide commodity paperboard markets which have a significant impact on containerboard sales. In addition, the Company’s net sales, income from operations and cash flows from operations are subject to moderate seasonality, with demand usually increasing in the spring and summer due to the seasonality of the worldwide beverage multiple packaging markets.

The Company works to maintain market share through efficiency, product innovation and strategic sourcing to its customers; however, pricing and other competitive pressures may occasionally result in the loss of a customer relationship.

Packaging machinery placements during the first six months of 2005 decreased approximately 27% compared to the first six months of 2004 due primarily to timing differences and to the additional placements in 2004 as a result of the success of the new Fridge Vendor® Package. These machines were placed to

package cans and bottles for beer, soft drink, water and juice applications. The Company expects packaging machinery placements for 2005 to be lower when compared to 2004 but higher when compared to 2003.

Impact of Inflation and Operating Costs. The Company’s cost of sales consists primarily of energy (including natural gas, fuel oil and electricity), pine pulpwood, hardwood, chemicals, recycled fibers, purchased paperboard, paper, aluminum foil, ink, plastic films and resins, depreciation expense and labor. The Company continues to be negatively impacted by inflationary pressures which increased costs $53.1 million compared to the first six months of 2004 and are primarily related to fiber, outside board purchases and corrugated shipping containers ($14.0 million); chemical based inputs ($13.6 million); labor and related benefits ($10.4 million); energy ($7.8 million); freight ($4.0 million); and other ($3.3 million). The Company has entered into contracts designed to mitigate the impact of future cost increases for a significant portion of its natural gas requirements, primarily at its U.S. mills, through December 2005. The Company will continue to evaluate its position regarding natural gas purchase commitments. The Company believes that inflationary pressures will negatively impact its results for 2005. Since negotiated contracts and the market largely determine the pricing for its products, the Company is limited in its ability to pass through to its customers any inflationary or other cost increases that the Company may incur in the future. Additionally, the Company’s sales contracts often limit its timing and ability to raise prices, further exacerbating the inflationary problems.

During December 2004, unexpected sub-freezing temperatures in the Southeast resulted in the malfunction of control instrumentation for high pressure boilers at both the Company��s West Monroe, Louisiana and Macon, Georgia mills. This malfunction resulted in unplanned down-time on paper machines and turbine generators as well as costs due to boiler damage. The downtime resulted in lost production and between the two mills, the total cost from this incident was $3.0 million of capital expenditures, along with a negative $2.3 million income statement impact due to the lost production, repair and startup. These costs were realized in the first quarter of 2005.

Substantial Debt Obligations. The Company has approximately $2,059 million of outstanding debt obligations as of June 30, 2005. This debt can have significant consequences for the Company, as it requires significant portion of cash flow from operations to be used for the payment of principal and interest, exposes the Company to the risk of increased interest rates, restricts the Company’s ability to obtain additional financing and limits the Company’s flexibility to respond to changing market conditions and competitive pressures. Covenants in the Company’s Senior Secured Credit Agreement also prohibit or restrict, among other things, the disposal of assets, the incurrence of additional indebtedness (including guarantees) and payment of dividends, loans or advances and certain other types of transactions. The covenants also require compliance with certain financial ratios that adjust to require improved performance on a yearly basis through December 31, 2008. The Company’s ability to comply in future periods with the financial covenants will depend on its ongoing financial and operating performance, which in turn will be subject to many other factors, many of which are beyond the Company’s control. See “-Liquidity and Capital Resources” and “-Covenant Restrictions” for additional information regarding the Company’s debt obligations.

Commitment to Cost Reduction. In light of increasing margin pressure throughout the paperboard packaging industry, the Company has programs in place that are designed to reduce costs, improve productivity and increase profitability. The Company is continuing to implement a global continuous improvement initiative that uses statistical process control to help design and manage many types of activities, including production and maintenance. This includes a Six Sigma process focused on reducing variable and fixed manufacturing and administrative costs. During the first six months of 2005, the Company achieved approximately $22 million in cost savings through its continuous improvement programs and manufacturing initiatives.

The Company is finalizing its initiative designed to enhance the competitiveness of its beverage multiple packaging converting operations and has begun to recognize improved converting performance when comparing against the first six months of 2004. This initiative has added new manufacturing technology and press capacity, and also includes the consolidation of certain beverage carton converting operations. The Company has made expenditures of approximately $70 million and expects to realize cost savings relative to 2002 from this initiative of approximately $39 million annually by the end of 2005.

As part of the Company’s manufacturing rationalization initiatives, the Company announced in January 2004 its plans to close its Garden Grove, CA converting plant, and in May 2004 announced plans to close its Bow, NH and Clinton, MS converting plants. In addition, the Company announced it is expanding certain of its existing sites, including Fort Smith, AR and Lumberton, NC, and as a result expects to make expenditures of approximately $26 million over the 2004 to 2005 period. The Company has spent approximately $23 million of the projected expenditures through June 30, 2005. By the end of 2006, the Company estimates that it will realize an additional $19 million in annual synergies, improved cost structures and increased productivity as a result of these manufacturing rationalization initiatives.

The Company continues to evaluate its current operations and assets with a view to rationalizing its operations and improving profitability.

Critical Accounting Policies

The preparation of condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires the Company to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. These estimates and assumptions are based on historical experience and various other factors that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results could differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.

The Company’s most critical accounting policies which require significant judgment or involve complex estimations that are important to the portrayal of the Company’s financial conditions and operating results are described in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2004, as amended.

For a discussion of recent accounting pronouncements impacting the Company, see Note 9 in Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

SECOND QUARTER 2005 COMPARED WITH SECOND QUARTER 2004

Net Sales

The Company’s Net Sales in the second quarter of 2005 increased by $16.7 million, or 2.8%, to $623.0 million from $606.3 million in the second quarter of 2004 due primarily to a 12.9% increase in North American food and consumer product carton sales as a result of higher volumes and increased pricing, increased containerboard pricing and the positive impact of foreign currency exchange rates of $4.5 million. These increases were somewhat offset by lower volumes in containerboard markets as well as lower pricing in North American beverage carton markets as a result of increased market competitiveness.

Gross Profit

The Company’s Gross Profit in the second quarter of 2005 decreased by $12.3 million, or 12.5%, to $85.8 million from $98.1 million in the second quarter of 2004. The Company’s gross profit margin decreased to 13.8% in the second quarter of 2005 from 16.2% in the second quarter of 2004. The decrease in gross profit margin was due primarily to inflationary pressures primarily on chemical based inputs, fiber, outside board purchases and corrugated shipping containers, energy, labor and related benefits and freight; and lower pricing in North American beverage carton markets as a result of increased market competitiveness. The decrease in gross profit margin was somewhat offset by worldwide cost reductions resulting from the Company’s cost reduction initiatives and improved pricing as discussed above.

Selling, General and Administrative

Selling, General and Administrative expenses increased by $4.0 million, or 8.1%, to $53.2 million in the second quarter of 2005 from $49.2 million in the second quarter of 2004, due primarily to higher consulting fees and labor and related benefits costs. As a percentage of Net Sales, Selling, General and Administrative expenses were 8.5% in the second quarter of 2005 versus 8.1% in the second quarter of 2004.

Research, Development and Engineering

Research, Development and Engineering expenses increased by $0.8 million, or 33.3%, to $3.2 million in the second quarter of 2005 from $2.4 million in the second quarter of 2004, due to higher investment related to the Company’s products and packaging machinery.

Other Expense, Net

Other Expense, Net decreased by $4.0 million, or 40.8%, to $5.8 million in the second quarter of 2005 from $9.8 million in the second quarter of 2004. This change was principally due to lower amortization expense of Merger related intangibles of $5.7 million.

Income from Operations

Primarily as a result of the factors discussed above, the Company’s Income from Operations in the second quarter of 2005 decreased by $13.1 million, or 35.7%, to $23.6 million from $36.7 million in the second quarter of 2004, while its operating margin decreased to 3.8% in the second quarter of 2005 from 6.1% in the second quarter of 2004.

Fluctuations in U.S. Currency Exchange Rates

The weakening of the U.S. dollar currency exchange rates as compared to certain currencies including the euro, other European currencies and the Japanese yen had a $4.5 million impact on Net Sales, while there was a modest impact on Gross Profit, Income from Operations, and operating expenses during the second quarter of 2005.

FIRST SIX MONTHS 2005 COMPARED WITH FIRST SIX MONTHS 2004

Net Sales

The Company’s Net Sales in the first six months of 2005 increased by $23.8 million, or 2.0%, to $1,206.0 million from $1,182.2 million in the first six months of 2004 due primarily to a 7.0% increase in North American food and consumer product carton sales as a result of higher volumes and increased pricing, improved pricing in the containerboard medium and linerboard markets, and the positive impact of foreign currency exchange rates of $8.8 million. These increases were somewhat offset by lower volumes in North American open market rollstock sales as well as lower pricing in North American beverage carton markets as a result of increased market competitiveness.

Gross Profit

The Company’s Gross Profit in the first six months of 2005 decreased by $34.1 million, or 18.2%, to $153.0 million from $187.1 million in the first six months of 2004. The Company’s gross profit margin decreased to 12.7% in the first six months of 2005 from 15.8% in the first six months of 2004. The decrease in gross profit margin was due primarily to inflationary pressures primarily on chemical based inputs, fiber, outside board purchases and corrugated shipping containers, energy, labor and related benefits and freight; the negative $2.3 million income statement impact due to the lost production, repair and startup at both the Company’s West Monroe, Louisiana and Macon, Georgia mills as a result of unexpected sub-freezing temperatures during December 2004; and lower pricing in North American carton markets as a result of increased market competitiveness. The decrease in gross profit margin was somewhat offset by worldwide cost reductions resulting from the Company’s cost reduction initiatives and improved pricing as discussed above.

Selling, General and Administrative

Selling, General and Administrative expenses increased by $3.5 million, or 3.6%, to $100.9 million in the first six months of 2005 from $97.4 million in the first six months of 2004, due primarily to higher consulting fees including those associated with Sarbanes-Oxley compliance efforts and labor and related benefit costs. As a percentage of Net Sales, Selling, General and Administrative expenses were 8.4% in the first six months of 2005 versus 8.2% in the first six months of 2004.

Research, Development and Engineering

Research, Development and Engineering expenses increased by $0.7 million, or 14.6%, to $5.5 million in the first six months of 2005 from $4.8 million in the first six months of 2004, due to higher investment related to the Company’s products and packaging machinery.

Other Expense, Net

Other Expense, Net decreased by $10.8 million, or 50.2%, to $10.7 million in the first six months of 2005 from $21.5 million in the first six months of 2004. This change was principally due to lower amortization expense of Merger related intangibles of $10.9 million.

Income from Operations

Primarily as a result of the factors discussed above, the Company’s Income from Operations in the first six months of 2005 decreased by $27.5 million, or 43.4%, to $35.9 million from $63.4 million in the first six months of 2004, while its operating margin decreased to 3.0% in the first six months of 2005 from 5.4% in the first six months of 2004.

Fluctuations in U.S. Currency Exchange Rates

The weakening of the U.S. dollar currency exchange rates as compared to certain currencies including the euro, other European currencies and the Japanese yen had a $8.8 million impact on Net Sales, while there was a modest impact on Gross Profit, Income from Operations, and operating expenses during the second quarter of 2005.

INTEREST INCOME, INTEREST EXPENSE, INCOME TAX EXPENSE, AND EQUITY IN NET EARNINGS OF AFFILIATES

Interest Income

Interest Income remained constant at $0.2 million in the first six months of 2005 and 2004.

Interest Expense

Interest Expense increased by $2.1 million to $76.2 million in the first six months of 2005 from $74.1 million in the first six months of 2004, due to the Company’s unhedged floating rate debt being tied to increasing market interest rates. The increase was somewhat offset by lower average debt balances in 2005 and a 25 basis points reduction in interest charged during the first six months of 2005 on the Term Loan Facility as a result of the October 1, 2004 amendment to the Company’s Senior Secured Credit Agreement.

Income Tax Expense

During the first six months of 2005, the Company recognized an Income Tax Expense of $9.7 million on Loss before Income Taxes and Equity in Net Earnings of Affiliates of $40.1 million. During the first six months of 2004, the Company recognized an Income Tax Expense of $12.0 million on Loss before Income Taxes and Equity in Net Earnings of Affiliates of $10.5 million. Income Tax Expense for the first six months of 2005 and 2004 was primarily due to the amortization of goodwill for tax purposes, income earned in certain foreign countries, and tax withholding in foreign jurisdictions.

Equity in Net Earnings of Affiliates

Equity in Net Earnings of Affiliates was $0.6 million in the first six months of 2005 and $0.7 million in the first six months of 2004 and related to the Company’s equity investment in the joint venture Rengo Riverwood Packaging, Ltd.

FINANCIAL CONDITION, LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

The Company broadly defines liquidity as its ability to generate sufficient funds from both internal and external sources to meet its obligations and commitments. In addition, liquidity includes the ability to obtain appropriate debt and equity financing and to convert into cash those assets that are no longer required to meet existing strategic and financial objectives. Therefore, liquidity cannot be considered separately from capital resources that consist of current or potentially available funds for use in achieving long-range business objectives and meeting debt service commitments.

Cash Flows

Cash and Equivalents decreased by $0.2 million in the first six months of 2005. Cash provided by operating activities in the first six months of 2005 totaled $28.8 million, compared to $69.0 million in the first six months of 2004. This was principally due to lower operating income as well as unfavorable changes in operating assets and liabilities. Cash used in investing activities in the first six months of 2005 totaled $64.3 million, compared to $72.5 million in 2004. This change was principally due to lower purchases of property, plant and equipment of $20.5 million (see “-Capital Expenditures”) somewhat offset by lower proceeds from sale of assets. Cash provided by financing activities in 2005 totaled $35.6 million, compared to cash used in financing activities of $8.8 million in 2004. This change was principally due to higher net borrowings under the Company’s revolving credit facilities as well as lower debt payments. Depreciation and amortization during the first six months of 2005 totaled $106.6 million and is expected to be between approximately $200 million and $210 million for the full year 2005.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

The Company’s liquidity needs arise primarily from debt service on its substantial indebtedness and from the funding of its capital expenditures, ongoing operating costs and working capital.

At June 30, 2005 and December 31, 2004, Long-Term Debt consisted of the following:

(Amounts in Millions)	June 30, 2005		December 31, 2004
Senior Notes with interest payable semi-annually at 8.5%, payable in 2011	$	425.0	$	425.0
Senior Subordinated Notes with interest payable semi-annually at 9.5%, payable in 2013	425.0		425.0
Senior Secured Term Loan Facility with interest payable at various dates at floating rates (5.51% at June 30, 2005 and 4.52% at December 31, 2004) payable through 2010	1,158.0		1,158.0
Senior Secured Revolving Facility with interest payable at various dates at floating rates (6.53% at June 30, 2005) payable in 2009	35.8		—
Other	4.0		3.8
	2,047.8		2,011.8
Less, current portion	7.2		0.8
Total	$	2,040.6	$	2,011.0

Total debt increased during the first six months of 2005. This increase is a result of seasonal factors as the Company ramps up working capital in preparation for the summer season. The Company expects that the majority of its remaining full year debt reduction will come during the fourth quarter. The Senior Notes are rated B- by Standard & Poor’s and B2 by Moody’s Investor Services. During the first six months of 2005, cash paid for interest was approximately $72 million.

At June 30, 2005, the Company and its U.S. and international subsidiaries had the following commitments, amounts outstanding and amounts available under revolving credit facilities:

(Amounts in Millions)	Total Amount of Commitments		Total Amount Outstanding		Total Amount Available (A)
Revolving Credit Facility	$	325.0	$	35.8	$	275.3
International Facilities	21.1		10.7		10.4
Total	$	346.1	$	46.5	$	285.7

Note:

(A) In accordance with its debt agreements, the Company’s availability under its Revolving Credit Facility has been reduced by the amount of standby letters of credit issued of $13.9 million as of June 30, 2005. These letters of credit are used as security against its self-insurance obligations, workers’ compensation obligations and an outstanding note payable. These letters of credit expire at various dates through 2006 unless extended.

Principal and interest payments under the Term Loan Facility and the Revolving Credit Facility, together with principal and interest payments on the Senior Notes and the Senior Subordinated Notes, represent significant liquidity requirements for the Company. Based upon current levels of operations, anticipated cost-savings and expectations as to future growth, the Company believes that cash generated from operations, together with amounts available under its Revolving Credit Facility and other available financing sources, will be adequate to permit the Company to meet its debt service obligations, capital expenditure program requirements, ongoing operating costs and working capital needs, although no assurance can be given in this regard. The Company’s future financial and operating performance, ability to service or refinance its debt and ability to comply with the covenants and restrictions contained in its debt agreements (see “-Covenant Restrictions”), will be subject to future economic conditions and to financial, business and other factors, many of which are beyond the Company’s control and will be substantially dependent on the selling prices and demand for the Company’s products, raw material and energy costs, and the Company’s ability to successfully implement its overall business and profitability strategies.

The Company expects that its working capital and business needs will require it to continue to have access to the Revolving Credit Facility or a similar revolving credit facility after the maturity date in 2009, and that the Company accordingly will have to extend, renew, replace or otherwise refinance such facility at or prior to such date. No assurance can be given that it will be able to do so. The Company has in the past refinanced and in the future may seek to refinance its debt prior to the respective maturities of such debt.

The Company uses interest rate swaps to manage interest rate risks caused by interest rate changes on its variable rate Term Loan Facility. The differential to be paid or received under these agreements is recognized as an adjustment to interest expense related to the debt. At June 30, 2005, the Company had interest rate swap agreements with a notional amount of $880 million, which expire on various dates from 2005 to 2008 under which the Company will pay fixed rates of 2.31% to 4.53% and receive three-month LIBOR.

Effective as of June 30, 2005, the Company had approximately $1.3 billion of net operating loss carryforwards (“NOLs”). These NOLs generally may be used by the Company to offset taxable income earned in subsequent taxable years. However, the Company’s ability to use these NOLs to offset its future taxable income may be subject to significant limitation as a result of certain shifts in ownership due to direct or indirect transfers of the Company’s common stock by one or more 5 percent stockholders, or issuances or redemptions of the Company’s common stock, which, when taken together with previous changes in ownership of the Company’s common stock, constitute an ownership change under the Internal Revenue Code. Imposition of any such limitation on the use of NOLs could have an adverse effect on the Company’s future after tax free cash flow.

Covenant Restrictions

The financial covenants in the Senior Secured Credit Agreement specify, among other things, the following requirements for each four quarter period ending during the following test periods:

Test Period	Consolidated Debt to Credit Agreement EBITDA Leverage Ratio(A)	Credit Agreement EBITDA to Consolidated Interest Expense Ratio(A)
December 31, 2004 - December 30, 2005	6.15 to 1.00	2.25 to 1.00
December 31, 2005 - December 30, 2006	5.75 to 1.00	2.35 to 1.00
December 31, 2006 - December 30, 2007	5.25 to 1.00	2.50 to 1.00
December 31, 2007 - December 30, 2008	4.75 to 1.00	2.75 to 1.00
December 31, 2008 - June 30, 2010	4.50 to 1.00	2.90 to 1.00

Note:

(A) See “Credit Agreement EBITDA” below.

Company’s control and will be substantially dependent on the selling prices for the Company’s products, raw material and energy costs, and the Company’s ability to successfully implement its overall business and profitability strategies. If a violation of any of the covenants occurred, the Company would attempt to obtain a waiver or an amendment from its lenders, although no assurance can be given that the Company would be successful in this regard. The Senior Secured Credit Agreement and the indentures governing the Senior Subordinated Notes and the Senior Notes have covenants as well as certain cross-default or cross-acceleration provisions; failure to comply with these covenants in any agreement could result in a violation of such agreement which could, in turn, lead to violations of other agreements pursuant to such cross-default or cross-acceleration provisions. If an event of default occurs, the lenders are entitled to declare all amounts owed to be due and payable immediately.

The Senior Secured Credit Agreement is collateralized by substantially all of the Company’s domestic assets.

Credit Agreement EBITDA

The table below sets forth EBITDA, as defined in the Senior Secured Credit Agreement, which is referred to in this report as “Credit Agreement EBITDA.” Credit Agreement EBITDA as presented below is a financial measure that is used in the Senior Secured Credit Agreement. Credit Agreement EBITDA is not a defined term under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States and should not be considered as an alternative to income from operations or net income as a measure of operating results or cash flows as a measure of liquidity. Credit Agreement EBITDA differs from the term “EBITDA” (earnings before interest expense, income tax expense, and depreciation and amortization) as it is commonly used. In addition to adjusting net income to exclude interest expense, income tax expense and depreciation and amortization, Credit Agreement EBITDA also adjusts net income by excluding certain other items and expenses, as specified below. The Company’s definition of Credit Agreement EBITDA may differ from that of other similarly titled measures at other companies. The Senior Secured Credit Agreement requires the Company to comply with a specified consolidated debt to Credit Agreement EBITDA leverage ratio and a specified Credit Agreement EBITDA to consolidated interest expense ratio for specified periods, as described in the preceding section, “Covenant Restrictions.”

The Company’s management believes that presentation of Credit Agreement EBITDA provides useful information to investors because borrowings under the Senior Secured Credit Agreement are a key source of the Company’s liquidity, and the Company’s ability to borrow under the Senior Secured Credit Agreement is dependent on, among other things, its compliance with the financial ratio covenants referred to in the preceding section. Failure to comply with these financial ratio covenants would result in a violation of the Senior Secured Credit Agreement and, absent a waiver or amendment from the lenders under such agreement, permit the acceleration of all outstanding borrowings under the Senior Secured Credit Agreement.

The calculation of Credit Agreement EBITDA for the periods indicated is set forth below and is calculated in accordance with the Senior Secured Credit Agreement.

	Six Months Ended						Twelve Months Ended
(Amounts in Millions)	As Restated June 30, 2005			As Restated June 30, 2004			As Restated June 30, 2005			As Restated Dec. 31, 2004
Net Loss	$	(49.2	)	$	(21.8	)	$	(88.3	)	$	(60.9	)
Income Tax Expense	9.7			12.0			26.6			28.9
Interest Expense, Net	76.0			73.9			151.1			149.0
Depreciation and Amortization	106.6			114.2			221.3			228.9
Equity in Net Earnings of Affiliates	(0.6		)	(0.7		)	(1.3		)	(1.4		)
Credit Agreement Adjustments (A)	24.4			22.9			52.1			50.6
Credit Agreement EBITDA (B)	$	166.9		$	200.5		$	361.5		$	395.1

Notes:

(A) Credit agreement adjustments include non-cash charges for pension, postretirement and postemployment benefits, amortization of premiums on hedging contracts, write-down of assets, and merger related expenses deducted in determining net income and dividends from equity investments.

(B) Credit Agreement EBITDA is calculated in accordance with the definitions contained in the Company’s Senior Secured Credit Agreement. Credit Agreement EBITDA is defined as consolidated net income before consolidated interest expense, non-cash expenses and charges, total income tax expense, depreciation expense, expense associated with amortization of intangibles and other assets, non-cash provisions for reserves for discontinued operations, extraordinary, unusual or non-recurring gains or losses or charges or credits, gain or loss associated with sale or write-down of assets not in the ordinary course of business, and any income or loss accounted for by the equity method of accounting.

Capital Expenditures

The Company’s capital spending in the first six months of 2005 was $54.8 million, compared to $75.3 million in the first six months of 2004. During the first six months of 2005, the Company had capital spending of $24.8 million for improving process capabilities, $12.9 million for the expansion of its Fort Smith, AR and Lumberton, NC converting plants, $8.6 million for manufacturing packaging machinery, $5.2 million for compliance with cluster rules and $3.3 million for its beverage multiple packaging converting operations initiative.

Environmental Matters

The Company is subject to a broad range of foreign, federal, state and local environmental, health and safety laws and regulations, including those governing discharges to air, soil and water, the management, treatment and disposal of hazardous substances, the management, treatment and disposal of solid and hazardous wastes, the investigation and remediation of contamination resulting from historical site operations and releases of hazardous substances, and the health and safety of employees. The Company’s potential environmental liabilities and obligations may result in significant costs, which could negatively impact its financial condition and results of operations. In addition, capital expenditures may be necessary for the Company to comply with such laws and regulations, including the U.S. EPA’s regulations mandating stringent controls on air and water discharges from pulp and paper mills. Any failure to comply with environmental, health and safety laws or any permits and authorizations required thereunder could subject the Company to fines, corrective action or other sanctions. In addition, some of the Company’s current and former facilities are the subject of environmental investigations and remediations resulting from historical operations and the release of hazardous substances or other constituents. Some current and former facilities have a history of industrial usage for which investigation and remediation obligations may be imposed in the future or for which indemnification claims may be asserted against the Company. The Company cannot predict with certainty future investigation or remediation costs or future costs relating to historical usage or indemnification claims. Also, potential future closures or sales of facilities may necessitate further investigation and may result in future remediation at those facilities. The Company will continue to review and revise its estimate of potential contingent environmental liabilities related to past, present and future operations as additional information related to its environmental liabilities is obtained.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURE ABOUT MARKET RISK

For a discussion of certain market risks related to the Company, see Part II, Item 7A, “Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosure about Market Risk”, in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2004, as amended. There have been no significant developments with respect to derivatives or exposure to market risk during the first six months of 2005; see Note 6 in Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations “-Financial Condition, Liquidity and Capital Resources”.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

The Company’s management has carried out an evaluation, with the participation of its Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures pursuant to Rule 13a-15 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Based upon such evaluation, management has concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of June 30, 2005, solely because of a material weakness in internal control over financial reporting with respect to accounting for deferred taxes as described below.

As described in Amendment No. 2 to the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2004 and Amendment No. 1 to the Company’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the period ended March 31, 2005, each filed on August 9, 2005, the Company has restated its consolidated financial statements for the three months ended March 31, 2005 and for the years ended December 31, 2004, 2003, and 2002 and applicable interim quarters to correct errors relating to accounting for income taxes and related deferred tax liabilities. Based on management’s review, it has been determined that the errors were inadvertent and unintentional.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

A material weakness is a control deficiency, or combination of control deficiencies, that results in a more than a remote likelihood that a material misstatement of the annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected. As of December 31, 2004, the Company did not maintain effective controls over the determination of the provision for income taxes and related deferred income tax accounts. Specifically, the Company did not maintain effective controls as to the completeness and accuracy of the income tax provision and the related deferred income tax accounts with respect to differences between the income tax basis and the financial reporting basis of its assets and liabilities. This deficiency resulted in the restatement of the interim and annual consolidated financial statements for 2004, 2003 and 2002, the restatement of the first quarter of 2005 as well as audit adjustments to the second quarter 2005 consolidated financial statements. Additionally, this control deficiency could result in a misstatement of the income tax provision or related deferred income tax accounts resulting in a material misstatement to the annual or interim consolidated financial statements that would not be prevented or detected. Accordingly, management has determined that this control deficiency constitutes a material weakness. Because this material weakness has not yet been remediated, the Company concluded that it did not maintain effective internal control over financial reporting as of June 30, 2005, based on criteria in Internal Control-Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission.

The Company is in the process of designing and implementing improvements in its internal control over financial reporting to address the material weakness in accounting for income taxes. These improvements include, among other things, hiring a tax director, educating and training Company individuals involved in accounting and reporting for income taxes, and enhancing the documentation regarding conclusions reached in the implementation of generally accepted accounting principles.

There was no change in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the fiscal quarter ended June 30, 2005 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.
