Note 7. 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 September 30, 2000, net sales for the
company were $240.7 million, a decrease of 2% from the prior year's
third quarter net sales of $245.8 million. The total tons shipped for
the three months ended September 30, 2000 were 200,500 tons, a decrease
of 8% from the prior year's third quarter. For the first nine months
of 2000, net sales were $729.5 million compared to $706.5 million in
1999, or an increase of 3%. Shipments for the nine months ended
September 30, 2000 were 607,000 tons compared to 636,000 tons in the
prior year.
Net sales for the Specialty Paper Group were $97.9 million compared to
$103.5 million for the third quarters of 2000 and 1999, respectively.
Total tons shipped were 79,500 compared to 90,900 for the third quarter
of 2000 compared to1999. The reduction in net sales dollars and
shipping volume was principally due to the closure of The Sorg Paper
Company on May 15, 2000. At ongoing operations, the number of tons
shipped declined on a quarter-over-quarter basis; however, higher
average selling prices in concert with mix changes resulted in similar
net sales dollars for comparable quarters. For the first nine months
of 2000, Specialty Paper Group sales were $311.9 million, an increase
of 4% over the same period a year ago. Shipment volume was 259,000
tons in the first nine months of 2000 and was down 4% from the
comparable period in 1999. As discussed in the quarter-over-quarter
comparison, the closure of The Sorg Paper Company was the principal
reason for a reduction in sales volume, while higher average selling
prices and mix changes increased net sales dollars.
Third quarter sales for the Printing & Writing Group were $95.3 million
in 2000 compared to $100.1 million in 1999, a decrease of 5%. Although
average selling prices improved approximately 4% from the third quarter
of 1999, shipment volume decreased 9% to 84,900 tons in the third
quarter of 2000 compared to 92,900 tons in the comparable quarter of
1999. Increased average selling prices offset by declines in shipping
volume resulted in Printing & Writing sales of $288.6 million for the
first nine months of 2000, very near the first nine months of 1999
sales of $289.9 million. In 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.
Net sales for the Towel & Tissue Group for the quarter ended September
30, 2000 were $47.5 million, an increase of 13% over the third quarter
net sales in 1999. Shipments were up 6% over the third quarter's
volume in 1999 and were 36,000 tons in the third quarter of 2000. Net
sales for the Towel & Tissue Group were $129.0 million for the first
nine months of 2000 compared to $115.6 million in the same period of
1999. Shipments improved to 97,000 tons,

expectations are forward-looking statements that involve risks and
uncertainties. See "Information Concerning Forward-Looking
Statements."

an increase of 5% over that of the first nine months of 1999. For both
quarter and year-to-date comparisons, increased average selling prices
and volume gains at the Towel & Tissue Group have contributed favorably
to net sales in 2000 compared to 1999.
Order backlog was 28,000 tons at September 30, 2000. However, 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 September 30, 2000 was $25.8
million or 10.7% of net sales, compared to gross profit for the same
period of 1999 of $33.7 million or 13.7% of net sales. The decline in
gross profit margin from 1999 is due primarily to higher average pulp
and fiber costs, as well as, higher energy costs. Nine month
year-to-date margins for 2000 declined by 3.7 percentage points as a
result of similar business conditions to the quarterly comparison.
Continuing increases in raw material and energy costs may result in
lower gross profit margins for the Company if the increased costs are
not recovered through higher selling prices.
The quarter-over-quarter gross profit margin for the Specialty Paper
Group remained unchanged at 6.8% of net sales in the third quarter of
2000. Raw material and other manufacturing costs increased during the
quarter; however, higher average selling prices and cost reduction
efforts, as well as the effects of the closure of the Sorg Paper
Company on May 15, 2000, offset these increases on a
quarter-over-quarter basis. For the first nine months of 2000 gross
profit margins were 7.9% for the Specialty Paper Group, compared to
10.1% in the prior year's first nine months. On a year-over-year
comparison, increased raw material and manufacturing costs offset by
higher average selling prices and other cost reduction efforts reduced
gross profit margins.
The Printing & Writing Group's gross profit margin for the third
quarter of 2000 was 8.8% compared to 16.9% for the prior year. For the
first nine months of 2000 gross profit margin was 11.7% compared to
17.3% for 1999. The decline in margin was due principally to higher
market pulp prices and rising natural gas prices, partially offset by
higher average selling prices and cost reduction initiatives.
The gross profit margin for the Towel & Tissue Group was 22.4% for the
third quarter of 2000 and was unchanged from the gross margin reported
in the third quarter of 1999. Although, as noted previously, the Towel
& Tissue Group experienced higher average selling prices and volume
gains quarter-over-quarter, increased wastepaper prices offset these
improvements. For the first nine months of 2000 the Group's gross
profit margin declined to 20.7% from 24.0% in the first nine months of
1999. Similar to the quarter-over-quarter comparisons, increased
wastepaper costs during comparative periods produced lower gross profit
margins despite volume increases, cost reduction efforts and higher
average selling prices.
-8-
SELLING AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES
Selling and administrative expenses for the three months ended
September 30, 2000 were $14.0 million compared to $11.2 million in the
same period in 1999. Adjustments for incentive compensation programs
based on the market price of the company's stock accounted for $4.0
million of the quarter over quarter variance as income of $.2 million
was recorded for the current quarter compared to an income adjustment
of $4.2 million in the third quarter of 1999. After considering these
adjustments, a quarter-over-quarter decrease is attributable to ongoing
cost reduction efforts and reduced incentive compensation and benefit
expense.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2000, selling and
administrative expenses were $47.4 million compared to $44.2 million in
the first nine months of 1999. Adjustments for stock incentive
programs resulted in income of $1.3 million in 2000 compared to income
of $3.6 million in 1999. The year-to-date increase over 1999 was due
to a first quarter expense of $2.7 million recorded for the costs
associated with the resignation of the Company's President and CEO in
February 2000 offset by ongoing cost reduction efforts, reduced
incentive compensation and postretirement benefit expense.
CAPITAL RESOURCES AND LIQUIDITY
CASH PROVIDED BY OPERATIONS
For the nine months ended September 30, 2000, cash provided by
operations was $48.0 million, compared to $54.7 million for the same
period of 1999. The decrease in operating cash flows was principally
due to reduced current year earnings.
CAPITAL EXPENDITURES
Capital expenditures totaled $65.9 million for the nine months ended
September 30, 2000, compared to $62.7 million for the same period last
year.
During the first nine months of 2000, the Specialty Paper Group spent
$32.3 million on the High Performance Liner (HPL) project at the
Rhinelander mill. As of October 2000, the majority of the HPL project
has been placed in service, with final implementation expected in
January 2001. In addition, $9.1 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, $2.8 million on Cluster Rule Compliance and $1.1
million on a dryend upgrade project at the Brokaw mill during the first
nine months of 2000.
In total, the Company has spent $65.9 million in the first nine months
of 2000 for capital assets. At September 30, 2000, the company has
commitments to spend another $35.4 million. Total capital expenditures
for 2000 should approximate $100 million.
-9-
FINANCING
Total current and long-term debt increased for the nine months ended
September 30, 2000 to $251.2 million. The increase in total debt from
December 1999 is principally due to the increase in working capital
needs from year end and the funding of capital projects.
Interest expense was $3.9 million in the third quarter of 2000 compared
to $3.2 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. During the quarter, a
letter of credit in the amount of $19 million maintained in connection
with the Company's industrial revenue bond was terminated and this
back-up financing is now reflected in the borrowing capacity available
under the existing bank facilities. The Company has approximately
$87.6 million in borrowing capacity available from existing bank
facilities at September 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. Under this authorization, the company
repurchased an aggregate of 100,300 shares during the nine-month period
ended September 30, 2000. An additional 50,000 shares were repurchased
subsequent to September 30, bringing the total remaining authorization
to 2,638,674 shares.
DIVIDENDS
Quarterly cash dividends of $.085 per share were paid on May 17, 2000
and August 16, 2000. On October 19, 2000, the Board of Directors
declared a quarterly cash dividend of $.085 payable November 15, 2000
to shareholders of record on November 1, 2000. Effective October 2,
2000, Wausau-Mosinee Paper appointed Continental Stock Transfer & Trust
Company registrar and transfer agent.

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 has been submitted to the Court for
approval. 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 a
settlement discussions with respect to claims in California by indirect
purchasers of sanitary commercial paper products under state antitrust
law. An action in Tennessee by indirect purchasers is still pending.
The Company expects that the amount of any settlement would not be
material to the Company. 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.
