Note 8. Interim Segment Information
FACTORS USED TO IDENTIFY REPORTABLE SEGMENTS
The Company's operations are classified into three principal reportable
segments, the Specialty Paper Group, the Printing & Writing Group and
the Towel & Tissue Group, each providing different products. Separate
management of each segment is required because each business unit is
subject to different marketing, production and technology strategies.
PRODUCTS FROM WHICH REVENUE IS DERIVED
The Specialty Paper Group produces specialty papers at its
manufacturing facilities in Rhinelander, Wisconsin; Mosinee, Wisconsin;
and Jay, Maine. The Printing & Writing Group produces a broad line of
premium printing and writing grades at manufacturing facilities in
Brokaw, Wisconsin and Groveton, New Hampshire. The Printing & Writing
Group also includes converting facilities which produce wax-laminated
roll wrap and related specialty finishing and packaging products, and a
converting facility which converts printing and writing grades. The
Towel & Tissue Group markets a complete line of towel, tissue, soap and
dispensing systems for the "away-from-home" market. The Towel & Tissue
Group operates a paper mill in Middletown, Ohio and a converting
facility in Harrodsburg, Kentucky.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS*
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
NET SALES
For the three months ended June 30, 2000, net sales for the Company
were $245.2 million, an increase of 5% from the prior year's second
quarter net sales of $234.3 million. The total tons shipped from
ongoing operations for both quarters were similar with 192,505 tons in
2000 and 194,480 tons in 1999. For the first six-months of 2000, net
sales were $488.8 million compared to $460.7 million in 1999, an
increase of 6%. Sales volume remained relatively constant for the
ongoing operations of the Company's Specialty Paper Group and the
Printing & Writing Group, while it increased 5% at the Towel & Tissue
group.
Net sales for the Specialty Paper Group were $104.2 million compared to
$97.3 million for the second quarters of 2000 and 1999, respectively.
Total tons shipped were 85,600, a decrease of 4% from the second
quarter of 1999. The reduction in shipping volume was primarily due to
the closure of The Sorg Paper Company on May 15, 2000. Although the
tons shipped declined quarter-over-quarter, a combination of higher
average selling prices and product mix changes resulted in increased
net sales. For the first six months of 2000, the Specialty Paper Group
sales were $214.0 million compared to $197.5 million for the same six
month period in 1999, an increase of 8%. Shipment volume was 168,000
tons in the first six months of 2000 and was down 7% from the
comparable period in 1999. However, improved selling price and mix
changes offset volume decreases experienced on a year-over-year basis.
As discussed in the quarter-over-quarter comparison, the reduction in
the tons shipped was primarily due to the closure of The Sorg Paper
Company.
Second quarter sales for the Printing & Writing Group were similar for
both 2000 and 1999 at $98.4 million and $98.5 million, respectively.
Shipments decreased 8% to 86,300 tons in the second quarter of 2000
compared to 93,800 tons in the second quarter of 1999. The volume
decline was principally offset by improved average selling price and
product mix changes. Printing & Writing Group sales for the first half
of 2000 increased 2% over the first half of 1999 at $193.3 million and
$189.8 million, respectively, while shipment volume decreased 5% to
170,600 tons for the same period. For both the quarter and
year-to-date comparisons, volume declines were due mainly to the
discontinuance of the school papers business which was sold on
January 2, 2000.
* Matters discussed in this report with respect to the Company's
expectations are forward-looking statements that involve risks and
uncertainties. See "Information Concerning Forward-Looking
Statements."
-7-
The Towel & Tissue Group's second quarter 2000 sales were $42.6 million
or 11% higher than second quarter sales in 1999 of $38.4 million.
While volume increased 3% to 31,400 tons in the second quarter of 2000
compared to the second quarter of 1999, the average selling price
combined with improved product mix increased net sales. Year-to-date
sales for the Towel & Tissue Group increased 11% to $81.5 million in
2000 compared to $73.4 million in 1999. Increasing average selling
prices and volume gains of approximately 5% have contributed to the
increased net sales in 2000.
Order backlog for ongoing operations of 30,960 tons at June 30, 2000 is
down from the 37,790 tons at June 30, 1999. The decline is reflected
in all operating groups and indicates a more pronounced seasonal
softening of demand. The Company believes backlog totals do not
entirely indicate the strength of its business, since a substantial
percentage of orders are shipped out of inventory promptly upon receipt.
GROSS PROFIT
Gross profit for the three months ended June 30, 2000 was $31.9 million
or 13.0% of net sales, compared to gross profit for the same period of
1999 of $37.2 million or 15.9% of net sales. The decline in gross
profit margin from 1999 is due primarily to higher average pulp,
pulpwood and wastepaper prices, as well as higher energy costs than one
year ago. Six month year to date margins for 2000 declined by 4.2
percentage points as a result of similar business conditions to the
quarterly comparison. Continuing increases in raw material costs may
result in lower gross profit margins for the Company if the increased
costs are not recovered through higher selling prices.
The Specialty Paper Group's gross profit margin decreased from 10.4% of
net sales in the second quarter of 1999 to 9.5% this year. For the
first six months of 2000 gross profit margins were 8.5% for the
Specialty Paper Group, compared to 11.9% in the prior year's first six
months. This decline in margins was principally due to higher pulp
costs and increased other raw material costs, partially offset by
higher average selling prices and overall cost reduction initiatives.
The Printing & Writing Group's gross profit margin for the second
quarter of 2000 was 13.1% compared to 17.1% for the prior year. For
the first six months of 2000 gross profit margin was 13.1% compared to
17.4% for 1999. The decline in margin was due primarily to higher
market pulp and natural gas pricing. These unfavorable pressures were
slightly offset by product sales mix enhancements, increased product
pricing and cost reduction initiatives.
The gross profit margin for the Towel & Tissue Group was 20.7% for the
second quarter of 2000, a decrease of 4.5 percentage points from the
prior year's gross margin of 25.2%. For the first six months of 2000
the Group's gross profit margin declined to 19.7% compared to 25.0% in
1999. Total shipments increased 3% in the second quarter and 5% in the
first six months of 2000 compared to the same periods last year.
Volume increases along with improved production levels, cost reduction
initiatives and higher average selling prices favorably impacted gross
profit margins for both the second quarter and the first half of 2000.
However, increased wastepaper costs during both comparative periods
resulted in overall lower gross profit margins.
-8-
SELLING AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES
Selling and administrative expenses for the three months ended June 30,
2000 were $13.7 million compared to $19.5 million in the same period in
1999. Adjustments for incentive compensation programs based on the
market price of the Company's stock accounted for $5.0 million of the
quarter over quarter variance as income of $2.1 million was recorded
for the current quarter compared to an expense adjustment of $2.9
million in the second quarter of 1999. The balance of the decrease in
expense is attributable to ongoing cost reduction efforts and reduced
incentive compensation.
For the six months ended June 30, 2000, selling and administrative
expenses, excluding the first quarter 2000 restructuring charge, were
$33.5 million compared to $33.0 million in the first half of 1999.
Income for stock incentive programs was $1.1 million in 2000 compared
to expense of $0.6 million in 1999. The year-to-date increase was due
to a first quarter of 2000 expense of $2.7 million that was recorded
for costs associated with the resignation of the Company's President
and Chief Executive Officer offset by ongoing cost reduction efforts
and reduced incentive compensation expense.
CAPITAL RESOURCES AND LIQUIDITY
CASH PROVIDED BY OPERATIONS
For the six months ended June 30, 2000, cash provided by operations was
$31.2 million, compared to $34.2 million for the same period of 1999.
The decrease in operating cash flows was principally due to reduced
current year earnings and overall increases in working capital needs.
CAPITAL EXPENDITURES
Capital expenditures totaled $35.0 million for the six months ended
June 30, 2000, compared to $40.3 million for the same period last year.
During the first six months of 2000, the Specialty Paper Group spent
$15.8 million on the High Performance Liner (HPL) project at the
Rhinelander mill. The HPL project is on schedule and is expected to be
completed in September of 2000. In addition, $4.5 million was spent at
the Mosinee mill on Cluster Rule Compliance projects. The Printing &
Writing Group spent $1.3 million on a fiber optimization project at the
Groveton mill, as well as $.9 million on Cluster Rule Compliance and
$1.1 million on a dryend upgrade project at the Brokaw mill during the
first six months of 2000.
FINANCING
Total current and long-term debt increased for the six months ended
June 30, 2000 to $229.5 million. The increase in total debt from
December 1999 is principally due to the increase in working capital
needs from year-end.
-9-
Interest expense was $3.7 million in the second quarter of 2000
compared to $2.6 million in the same period of 1999. The increase in
interest expense is the result of higher funded debt levels and higher
borrowing rates in 2000 compared to 1999.
Cash provided by operations and the Company's borrowing capacity are
expected to meet capital needs and dividends. The Company has
approximately $128 million in borrowings available from existing bank
facilities as of June 30, 2000.
COMMON STOCK REPURCHASE
In April 2000, the Board of Directors increased the number of shares
covered by its August 1998 stock repurchase authorization by 2,571,000
shares. This brought the total remaining authority to 2,788,974 shares
as of April 20, 2000. During the second quarter, 60,300 shares of the
Company's stock was repurchased leaving 2,728,674 shares under
authorization.
DIVIDENDS
A dividend declared in December, 1999, of $.08 per share was paid
February 14, 2000. At the April 20, 2000 meeting, the Board of
Directors approved a 6% increase in the cash dividend. The quarterly
cash dividend of $.085 per share was paid on May 17, 2000. On June 22,
2000, the Board of Directors declared a quarterly cash dividend of
$.085 payable August 16, 2000 to shareholders of record on August 2,
2000.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION
ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
RECENT DEVELOPMENTS CONCERNING ANTITRUST LITIGATION.
In March and April, 2000, the Company's subsidiary, Bay West Paper
Corporation ("Bay West"), entered into settlement agreements, without
any admission of liability, with the Attorneys General of the States of
Florida, New York, Maryland, and West Virginia concerning the
litigation which began in 1997, when the Attorney General of the State
of Florida filed a civil complaint in the United States District Court
for the Northern District of Florida against ten manufacturers of
commercial sanitary paper products, including Bay West. The lawsuit
alleged a conspiracy to fix prices of commercial sanitary paper
products starting at least as early as 1993. The settlement agreements
provide for the Company to make cash payments and provide certain Bay
West towel and tissue products. The cost of the settlements is not
material to the Company. The federal lawsuit filed by the Attorney
General of the State of Kansas was dismissed and no further action has
been taken by the State of Kansas.
Bay West, along with the other defendants, has entered into a
settlement agreement, without any admission of liability, in the
class action suits filed by private direct purchasers of commercial
sanitary paper products. These separate class actions were
consolidated for trial in the United States District Court for the
Northern District of Florida. The settlement agreement is subject to
approval by the court and the plaintiff class. The Company expects
that such approval will be forthcoming and took a one-time pre-tax
charge of $2.0 million in the second quarter of 2000 to cover the cost
of the settlement and other expenses related to the litigation.
Bay West, along with the other defendants, has also entered into
settlement discussions with respect to claims in California and
Tennessee by indirect purchasers of sanitary commercial paper products
under state antitrust law. The Company expects that the amount of any
settlement would not be material to the Company as, in the opinion of
management, Bay West has not violated any antitrust laws.
In March, 2000, the plaintiff in the indirect purchaser suit filed in
Wisconsin agreed to dismiss its claims. Class certification was denied
to the plaintiff in an indirect purchaser claim brought in Minnesota
state court and that action was dismissed in May, 2000.
