PLASTIPAK HOLDINGS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)
NOTE A - BASIS OF PRESENTATION, NATURE OF OPERATIONS AND SUMMARY OF ACCOUNTING
POLICIES
Organization and Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have
been prepared pursuant to the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission
for quarterly reports on Form 10-Q. Accordingly, they do not include all of the
information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles
for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments
(consisting of normal recurring accruals and estimated provisions for bonus and
profit-sharing arrangements) considered necessary for a fair presentation have
been included. Operating results for the three months ended January 31, 2004 are
not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year
ending October 30, 2004.
These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company's
audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the
Company's Form 10-K filed by Plastipak Holdings, Inc. (Plastipak) with the
Securities and Exchange Commission on January 29, 2004.
Reclassifications
Certain reclassifications have been made to the 2003 financial information
in order for them to conform to the classifications at January 31, 2004.
Employee Compensation Plans
The Company has two stock-based employee compensation plans. The Company
accounts for these plans under the recognition and measurement principles of APB
Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees, and related
interpretations. The plans are considered to be variable plans and therefore,
stock-based employee compensation cost is reflected in net income as a component
of general and administrative expenses, as all options granted under those plans
had an exercise price less than the market value of the underlying common stock
on the date of grant. Amounts expensed approximate that which would have been
expensed had the value of the options granted been computed under provisions of
FAS 123.
NOTE B - FISCAL PERIOD
Plastipak has elected a 52/53 week fiscal period for tax and financial
reporting purposes. Plastipak's fiscal period ends on the Saturday closest to
October 31. The three month periods ended January 31, 2004 and February 1, 2003
contained 13 weeks.
NOTE C - NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
In January 2003, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued FASB
Interpretation 46 (FIN 46), Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities. FIN 46
clarifies the applications of Accounting Research Bulletin 51, Consolidated
Financial Statements, for certain entities that do not have sufficient equity at
risk for the entity to finance its activities without additional subordinated
financial support from other parties or in which equity investors do not have
the characteristics of a controlling financial interest ("variable interest
entities"). Variable interest entities within the scope of FIN 46 will be
required to be consolidated by their primary beneficiary. The primary
beneficiary of a variable interest entity is determined to be the party that
absorbs a majority of the entity's expected losses, receives a majority of its
expected returns, or both. In December 2003, the Financial Accounting Standards
Board issued FASB Interpretation 46(R), Consolidation of Variable Interest
Entities. FIN 46(R) replaces FIN 46 and clarifies the accounting for interests
in variable interest entities.
6
PLASTIPAK HOLDINGS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED) - CONTINUED
NOTE C - NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS - CONTINUED
FIN 46(R) should be applied to entities considered to be Special Purpose
Entities (SPE's) no later than the end of the first reporting period after
December 15, 2003 and by the end of the first reporting period that ends after
March 15, 2004 to entities other than SPE's. The adoption of this standard did
not have a material impact on the Company's financial position or results of
operations.
NOTE D - INVENTORIES
Inventories consisted of the following at:

============= =============
NOTE E - LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
The Company is a party to various litigation matters arising in the ordinary
course of business. The ultimate legal and financial liability of this
litigation cannot be estimated with certainty, but management believes, based on
their examination of these matters, experience to date and discussions with
counsel, that the ultimate liability will not be material to the Company's
business, financial condition or results of operations.
NOTE F - DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS AND HEDGING ACTIVITIES
Financial Accounting Standards Board Statement No. 133, "Accounting for
Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities," as amended by Financial
Accounting Standards Board Statement No. 138, "Accounting for Certain Derivative
Instruments and Certain Hedging Activities," requires companies to recognize all
of their derivative instruments as either assets or liabilities at fair value in
the statement of financial position. The accounting for changes in the fair
value (i.e., gains or losses) of a derivative instrument depends on whether it
has been designated and qualifies as part of a hedging relationship and further,
on the type of hedging relationship. For those derivative instruments that are
designated and qualify as hedging instruments, a company must designate the
hedging instrument, based upon the exposure being hedged, as either a fair value
hedge or a cash flow hedge.
For derivative instruments that are designated and qualify as a fair value
hedge (i.e., hedging the exposure to changes in the fair value of an asset or a
liability or an identified portion thereof that is attributable to a particular
risk), the gain or loss on the derivative instrument as well as the offsetting
loss or gain on the hedged item attributable to the hedged risk are recognized
in current earnings during the period of the change in fair values. For
derivative instruments that are designated and qualify as a cash flow hedge
(i.e., hedging the exposure to variability in expected future cash flows that is
attributable to a particular risk), the effective portion of the gain or loss on
the derivative instrument is reported as a component of other comprehensive
income and reclassified into earnings in the same period or periods during which
the hedged transaction affects earnings. For derivative instruments not
designated as hedging instruments, the gain or loss is recognized in current
earnings during the period of change. The Company currently uses only fair value
hedge accounting.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED) - CONTINUED
NOTE F - DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS AND HEDGING ACTIVITIES - CONTINUED
On March 11, 2003, the Company entered into two interest rate swap
agreements. In connection with the Senior Notes, the Company exchanged fixed
rate interest of 10.75% for variable rate interest. The interest rate swap
agreements have notional amounts of $50,000,000 million each. The variable rates
are equal to six month LIBOR plus 6.46% and 6.66%, respectively, for an 8-year
period ending September 1, 2011. As of January 31, 2004, the Company recorded an
increase of $2,566,464 in other accrued expenses to recognize the fair value of
the swap and a $2,566,464 decrease in the Senior Notes to recognize the
difference between the carrying value and fair value of the related hedge
liability.
NOTE G - GUARANTOR AND NONGUARANTOR FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND REPORTABLE SEGMENTS
The Senior Notes are unsecured, and guaranteed by each of Plastipak's
current and future material domestic subsidiaries.
The following condensed consolidating financial information presents:

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
OF OPERATIONS
CAUTIONARY STATEMENT REGARDING FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS
Management's discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with
the consolidated financial statements and the accompanying notes. Please refer
to the "Risk Related to Our Business" section, in our Form 10-K for the year
ended November 1, 2003, for a summary of factors that could cause actual results
to differ materially from those projected in a forward-looking statement. As you
read the material below, we urge you to carefully consider our financial
statements and related information provided herein.
All statements other than statements of historical fact included in this
Form 10-Q, including statements regarding our future financial position,
economic performance and results of operations, as well as our business
strategy, budgets and projected costs and plans and objectives of management for
future operations are forward-looking statements. In addition, forward-looking
statements generally can be identified by the use of forward-looking terminology
such as "may", "will", "expect", "intend", "estimate", "anticipate", "believe",
or "continue" or the negative thereof or variations thereon or similar
terminology. Although we believe that the expectations reflected in such
forward-looking statements are reasonable, we can give no assurance that such
expectations will prove to have been correct. Important factors that could cause
actual results to differ materially from our expectations include, without
limitation, risks associated with our Brazilian operations, competition in our
product categories (including the impact of possible new technologies and the
impact of such competition on pricing, revenues and margins), our high degree of
leverage and substantial debt service obligations, the restrictive covenants
contained in instruments governing our indebtedness, our exposure to
fluctuations in resin and energy prices, our dependence on significant customers
and the risk that customers will not purchase our products in the amounts we
expect, our dependence on key management and our labor force and the material
adverse effect that could result from the loss of their services. All
forward-looking statements attributable to us, or persons acting on our behalf,
are expressly qualified in their entirety by the cautionary statements set forth
in this paragraph.

THREE MONTHS ENDED JANUARY 31, 2004 COMPARED TO THREE MONTHS ENDED FEBRUARY 1,
2003
REVENUE
Revenue increased 13.2% to $226.0 million for the three months ended
January 31, 2004 with unit sales increasing 17.2%. Consistent performance in the
U.S. combined with significant gains in Brazil helped drive these results. All
business categories posted revenue gains for the first quarter versus the same
period in 2003 with the largest growth coming from our carbonated and
non-carbonated beverage category, which represented 21.0% growth for the
period. Revenues in Brazil increased significantly during the period with
revenue up over 30% and unit sales increasing 34.5%. In the U.S., volume gains
were attributable primarily to the addition of new products and new customers
served by our new manufacturing facilities in Florida and Alabama. The increases
in revenue were partially offset by price reductions implemented for new
business and the extension of current business. In addition, using industry
standard price data, we estimate that higher resin prices resulted in
approximately a $10.0 million increase in revenues for the three months ended
January 31, 2004.
Revenue and unit sales increases and decreases by product category are
discussed more specifically below:
- Carbonated and non-carbonated beverage revenue increased 21.0% to
$105.0 million during the three-month period ended January 31, 2004
with unit volume up 20.4% over the same period in 2003. Sales in
Brazil were fueled by strong promotional activity by current
customers in the region. U.S. sales were driven primarily by
continued strength in the water category.
19
- Consumer cleaning revenue increased 8.4% to $69.5 million in the
first quarter of 2004, with unit volume up over 13.0%. These gains
were primarily a result of two factors: new product sales to
existing customers during the period that were not shipped in the
first quarter of 2003 and the addition of new customers to the
sector and the additional volume these customers represented.
- Our food and processed juice category reported sales increases in
both revenue and unit volume for the first quarter compared to the
same period of 2003. During the first quarter, unit volume increased
6.6% and sales revenue improved by 5.8%. Areas of strength in this
category included squeezable sauces, relishes and other condiments
along with juice and specialty drinks.
- Industrial, agricultural and automotive category revenue increased
3.6% during the first quarter of 2004, while unit volume decreased
for the period. For the three months ended January 31, 2004, sales
revenue increased to $12.5 million and unit sales softened,
decreasing by approximately 6.5%. The changes for the quarter were
driven primarily by a continued mix shift to larger multi-quart
packages sold primarily through the "big box" retailers and a
reduction in the market for small quart sized containers in this
category.
- Other revenue increased 7.9% to $11.1 million. Other revenue, which
includes our health, personal care, distilled spirits, freight and
other miscellaneous revenue, posted increases in both revenue and
sales units during the first quarter 2004 over the same period in
2003. The increase was primarily attributable to increases in
freight and other miscellaneous revenue. In addition, revenue from
the sales of distilled spirit containers contributed approximately
$0.3 million to the increase in other revenue. This increase was
primarily a result of increases in our shipments of distilled spirit
containers as the market trend shifts back towards distilled spirits
and away from wine and beer.
GROSS PROFIT
Gross profit decreased 9.7% to $22.4 million for the three-month period
ended January 31, 2004. Gross profit was adversely affected by customer price
reductions implemented to extend customer contracts. During the first quarter of
2004, these price reductions were approximately $4.9 million. We have not been
able, through efficiencies in production to date, to offset price reductions
implemented. The decrease in gross profit was also attributable to increased
operating costs of approximately $1.2 million associated with the start-up of
several new product lines. A decrease in operating performance related to our
South American operations contributed to the decrease as well. Gross profit as a
percent of revenue decreased to 9.9% as compared to 12.4% in the prior period.
The erosion of gross profit as a percentage of revenue was due to the factors
mentioned above and due to higher resin costs that increased revenue without
increasing associated gross profit.
Our primary raw materials consist of PET and HDPE resins. Although our
revenue is affected by fluctuations in resin prices, our gross profit is, in
general, unaffected by these fluctuations. In general, except where we have firm
pricing, industry practice and contractual arrangements with our customers
permit price changes to be passed through to customers. As a result, we have in
the past experienced revenue changes without corresponding changes in gross
profit. Currently, we have been notified of resin price increases which will
take effect in the second quarter of 2004.
SELLING, GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES
Selling, general and administrative expenses (SG&A) for the three months
ended January 31, 2004 increased 9.7% to $19.4 million. As a percentage of
revenue, selling, general and administrative expenses decreased to 8.6% for the
three months ended January 31, 2004 from 8.9% for the three months ended
February 1, 2003. Increases in compensation, benefits and travel expenses of
approximately $1.1 million were the primary factors contributing to the change.
Increases in insurance, legal, taxes and professional fees contributed
approximately $0.6 million to the increase in SG&A.
20
INTEREST EXPENSE
Interest expense decreased $1.3 million to $8.9 million for the
three-month period ended January 31, 2004, as compared to $10.2 million for the
three-month period ended February 1, 2003. The decrease in interest expense was
primarily attributable to interest earned from interest rate swaps, an increase
in capitalized interest and a decrease in interest rates and interest expense
associated with our South American operations.
OTHER (INCOME) AND EXPENSE
Other income increased by $0.4 million to $0.7 million for the three-month
period ended January 31, 2004. The increase was related to a decrease of $0.5
million in foreign currency exchange rate losses and a gain of approximately
$0.1 million on the disposition and sale of fixed assets offset by a decrease in
interest income of $0.2 million.
INCOME TAX BENEFIT
Provision for income taxes was a $1.6 million benefit for the three months
ended January 31, 2004 as compared to a $1.0 million benefit for the three
months ended February 1, 2003. Loss before income taxes was $5.2 million in the
first quarter of 2004 compared to $2.8 million in the first quarter of 2003. The
effective rate was 31.1% in the first quarter of 2004 as compared to 35.5% in
the first quarter of 2003.
NET LOSS
Net loss increased by $1.8 million from a net loss of $1.8 million for the
three-month period ended February 1, 2003 to a net loss of $3.6 million for the
three-month period ended January 31, 2004. A decrease in gross profit and an
increase in selling, general and administrative expenses offset by a decrease in
interest expense along with other factors mentioned above resulted in an
increase in net losses over the prior period.
FINANCIAL CONDITION
We intend to expand our business, both domestically and internationally.
We have a significant amount of financing capacity to fund the continued growth
of our business. Past expenditures have been used to maintain equipment and
expand capacity for revenue growth. These expenditures were funded with cash
flow from operations, bank debt and additional operating and capital leases.
Future capital expenditures will be used in the same manner as past
expenditures.
During the three months ended January 31, 2004, we spent approximately
$38.5 million and assumed $7.9 million in capital lease obligations to cover the
capital requirements of our operations. We expect to incur capital expenditures
of approximately $120.0 million in fiscal 2004 and $70.0 million in 2005.
We continue to use technology that will allow us to pursue opportunities
in the condiment, sauce and beverage markets. South America provides significant
opportunities with our current customer base. Additionally, we are in the early
stages of establishing three facilities in Central Europe, Plastipak Czech
Republic, s.r.o., Plastipak Slovakia, s.r.o., and Clean Tech Slovakia, s.r.o.
Plastipak Czech Republic, s.r.o. will serve as a bottle manufacturing facility.
Plastipak Slovakia will serve as the technical and design center and provide
sales, marketing and administrative services for Central Europe. We believe this
to be one of, if not the only dedicated rigid packaging technical center,
located in Central Europe. Our search is underway for top engineers and graphic
designers to assist us in the development of new Slovak suppliers for machinery
parts, machinery development, and bottle design. We expect to invest
approximately $3.6 million in this project.
21
Clean Tech Slovakia s.r.o. has completed our negotiations with the city of
Kechnec, in their modern industrial park, for a parcel of land on which to
construct a world class recycling operation for PET and HDPE resins. The initial
phase of this project will include a building of approximately 7,500 sq. meters
and an investment of approximately $15.0 million contingent upon the amount of
funds received from a government grant from a recycling fund established by the
Slovakian government. This initial phase will be able to recycle over 14,000
metric tons of plastic bottles. Further expansion is planned for PET preforms
and additional recycling, subject to certain standard incentives discussions
that are ongoing. Our employment during this initial phase will employ 50 to 60
people, which is also subject to considerable growth with planned expansions.
Our expansions will allow Slovakia to be a net exporter of high grade, recycled
plastics and a true technology leader to neighboring European Union members.
We had positive cash flow from operating activities of $7.4 million, which
in part funded our capital expenditures of approximately $38.5 million. The
remaining balance of capital expenditures was covered by cash and cash
equivalents and by financing activities including the assumption of capital
lease obligations.
SEASONALITY
The carbonated soft drink (CSD) and, to a lesser extent, the other
beverage portions of our business are highly seasonal, with peak demand during
warmer summer months, and reduced demand during the winter. We normally add
temporary staff and build inventory of products for our CSD and water customers
in anticipation of seasonal demand in the quarter preceding the summer.
INFLATION
We use large quantities of plastic resins in manufacturing our products.
These resins accounted for a major portion of our cost of goods sold in the
three-month period ended January 31, 2004, and are subject to substantial price
fluctuations resulting from shortages in supply and changes in the prices of
natural gas, crude oil and other petrochemical products from which these resins
are produced. We generally enter into multi-year agreements with our resin
suppliers, and our purchases of raw materials are subject to market prices and
inflation.
EFFECT OF CHANGES IN EXCHANGE RATES
In general, our results of operations are partially affected by changes in
foreign exchange rates. We invoice our Brazilian and Argentine customers in the
Brazilian Real and Argentine Peso, respectively. A portion of those invoices are
pegged to the U.S. exchange rate. As a result, subject to market conditions, a
decline in the value of the U.S. dollar relative to the Brazilian Real and to a
lesser extent the Argentine Peso can have a favorable effect on our
profitability. Conversely, an increase in the value of the dollar relative to
the Brazilian Real and to a lesser extent the Argentine Peso can have a negative
effect on our profitability. In addition, any change in value of the euro as
compared to the U.S. dollar may impact start-up costs associated with our new
facilities in Central Europe. For the three months ended January 31, 2004,
exchange rate fluctuations resulted in a gain of approximately $0.3 million.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Net cash provided from operating activities decreased by 5.8% to $7.4
million for the three months ended January 31, 2004 as compared to the three
months ended February 1, 2003. The decrease in cash was primarily due to a
decrease in operating performance of $1.8 million over the prior period. The
decrease is also due to adjusted net working capital and other asset and
liability changes of $0.6 million for the three months ended January 31, 2004.
An increase of $1.9 million in non-cash expenses that include items such as
depreciation, amortization and foreign currency translation (gain)/loss offset
the decrease in operating performance and changes in adjusted net working
capital and other asset and liability changes.
22
Net cash used in investing activities was $42.2 million and $21.8 million
for the three months ended January 31, 2004 and February 1, 2003, respectively.
Investing activities were primarily attributable to the acquisition of property,
plant and equipment. For the three months ended January 31, 2004 and February 1,
2003, property, plant and equipment acquisitions were $38.5 million and $21.8
million, respectively. During the first quarter of 2004, we also acquired $4.5
million in intangible assets related to the extension of customer contracts.
Net cash provided by (used in) financing activities was $12.8 million and
($0.2) million for the three months ended January 31, 2004 and February 1, 2003,
respectively. During the first quarter of 2004, we borrowed approximately $14.9
million which was primarily used to fund capital expenditures.
On August 20, 2001 and September 25, 2002, we sold an aggregate total
principal amount of $275 million and $50 million, respectively, of 10.75% Senior
Notes to qualified institutional buyers. The notes have a maturity date of
September 2011, and we have the option to redeem all or a portion of the notes
at any time on or after September 1, 2006. Interest under the notes is payable
on September 1 and March 1 of each year. The indenture under which the notes
were issued places restrictions on our ability to declare or pay dividends,
purchase or acquire equity interests of Plastipak, and retire indebtedness that
is subordinate to the notes. The notes also have covenants that place
restrictions on the incurrence of debt, the issuance of stock, and granting of
liens.
The proceeds from the Senior Notes sold on August 20, 2001 were used to
pay off existing debt. During fiscal 2003 we used the net proceeds from the
September 25, 2002 sale of Senior Notes for general corporate purposes,
including working capital, capital expenditures and technology development.
In conjunction with our first sale of Senior Notes, we entered into an
Amended Credit Agreement effective August 20, 2001 which allows us to borrow up
to $150 million, subject to a borrowing base consisting of 85% of eligible
domestic accounts receivable, 65% of the value of eligible domestic inventory
and 50% of the value of domestic property, plant and equipment. The Amended
Credit Agreement has a five-year term. Interest under the Amended Credit
Agreement is payable at 200 to 350 basis points per annum over Eurodollar or at
prime rates, as we select. The Amended Credit Agreement is secured by
substantially all of our assets, including pledges of the stock of Plastipak and
all of its material foreign subsidiaries. Packaging, Whiteline, Clean Tech, and
TABB are the borrowers and guarantors under the Amended Credit Agreement and
Plastipak guarantees obligations under the Amended Credit Agreement. As of
January 31, 2004, $57.6 million and $15.0 million in letters of credit and
borrowings, respectively, were outstanding under the Amended Credit Agreement
and we had $77.4 million available for borrowing subject to covenant
restrictions.
Under the Amended Credit Agreement we are required to calculate EBITDA
because covenants in our debt agreement are tied to ratios based on that
measure. For instance, the covenants under the Amended Credit Agreement
incorporate EBITDA for the most recent last four fiscal quarters (last twelve
months), as a component of the following ratios: debt service ratio (minimum
1.25 to 1), senior secured debt ratio (maximum 2.00 to 1), leverage ratio
(maximum 4.25 to 1) and interest coverage ratio (minimum 2.25 to 1). Our ability
to incur additional debt is tied to our bank covenants. As of January 31, 2004,
we were in compliance with our covenants. EBITDA should not be considered an
alternative measure of operating results or cash flows from operations (as
determined by generally accepted accounting principles), but it is a widely
accepted financial indicator of a company's ability to incur and service debt.
While commonly used, however, EBITDA is not identically calculated by companies
presenting EBITDA and is, therefore, not necessarily an accurate means of
comparison and may not be comparable to similarly titled measures disclosed by
other companies.
23
Our Amended Credit Agreement defines EBITDA as net earnings (loss) plus
income tax expense, interest expense, depreciation and amortization. A
reconciliation between net earnings and EBITDA is calculated as follows:

24
Looking forward, we have the following short-term and medium-term capital
needs. Our overall capital expenditure budget in fiscal 2004 is approximately
$120.0 million and $70.0 million in 2005, a majority of which is expected to be
discretionary capital expenditures. We expect to have a new site in Louisiana
beginning production in mid to late fiscal 2004. We expect to finance all of our
capital expenditures with operating cash flows and to cover any shortfalls with
borrowings under the Amended Credit Agreement.
Based on our current level of operations and anticipated cost savings and
operating improvements, we believe that cash flow from operations and available
cash, together with available borrowings under the Amended Credit Agreement,
will be adequate to meet our future liquidity needs for at least the next few
years. As of January 31, 2004, we had approximately $15.2 million in cash and
cash equivalents. It is possible, however, that our business will not generate
sufficient cash flow from operations, that anticipated revenue growth and
operating improvements will not be realized or that future borrowings will not
be available under the Amended Credit Agreement in an amount sufficient to
enable us to service our indebtedness, or to fund our other liquidity needs. In
addition, we may not be able to refinance any of our indebtedness, including the
Amended Credit Agreement or the 10.75% Senior Notes due 2011, on commercially
reasonable terms or at all.
CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of
operations are based upon our financial statements, which have been prepared in
accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of
America. The preparation of these financial statements requires that we make
estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets,
liabilities, revenues and expenses. Please refer to Note A of our annual audited
financial statements included in the "Financial Statements and Supplementary
Data" section, in our Form 10-K for the year ended November 1, 2003, for a
description of our significant accounting policies. These accounting policies
are subject to judgments and uncertainties, which affect the application of
these policies. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various
other assumptions believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. On an
on-going basis, we evaluate estimates. In the event estimates or assumptions
prove to be different from actual results, adjustments are made in subsequent
periods to reflect more current information. The material accounting policies
that we believe are most critical to the understanding of our financial position
and results of operations that require significant management estimates and
judgments are discussed below.
Losses on accounts receivable are based upon their current status,
historical experience and management's evaluation of existing economic
conditions. Significant changes in customer profitability or general economic
conditions may have a significant effect on our allowance for doubtful accounts.
Property, plant and equipment represent a significant portion of our total
assets. We record property, plant and equipment at cost. Depreciation is
computed principally using the straight-line method based upon estimated useful
lives ranging from 3 to 10 years for machinery and equipment and up to 39 years
for buildings. Amortization of leasehold improvements is provided over the terms
of the various leases. These estimates require assumptions that are believed to
be reasonable. Long-lived assets are tested for impairment annually and when an
event occurs that indicates impairment may exist.
IMPACT OF NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
In January 2003, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued FASB
Interpretation 46 (FIN 46), Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities. FIN 46
clarifies the applications of Accounting Research Bulletin 51, Consolidated
Financial Statements, for certain entities that do not have sufficient equity at
risk for the entity to finance its activities without additional subordinated
financial support from other parties or in which equity investors do not have
the characteristics of a controlling financial interest ("variable interest
entities"). Variable interest entities within the scope of FIN 46 will be
required to be consolidated by their primary beneficiary. The
25
primary beneficiary of a variable interest entity is determined to be the party
that absorbs a majority of the entity's expected losses, receives a majority of
its expected returns, or both. In December 2003, the Financial Accounting
Standards Board issued FASB Interpretation 46(R), Consolidation of Variable
Interest Entities. FIN 46(R) replaces FIN 46 and clarifies the accounting for
interests in variable interest entities. FIN 46(R) should be applied to entities
considered to be Special Purpose Entities (SPE's) no later than the end of the
first reporting period after December 15, 2003 and by the end of the first
reporting period that ends after March 15, 2004 to entities other than SPE's.
The adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on our financial
position or results of operations.
ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
FOREIGN EXCHANGE CONTRACTS
At January 31, 2004 we had no material foreign exchange contracts. We do
not enter into foreign exchange contracts for trading or speculative purposes.
SHORT-TERM AND LONG-TERM DEBT
We are exposed to interest rate risk primarily through our borrowing
activities. Our policy has been to utilize United States dollar denominated
borrowings to fund our working capital and investment needs. Short-term debt, if
required, is used to meet working capital requirements, while long-term debt is
generally used to finance long-term investments. There is inherent rollover risk
for borrowings as they mature and are renewed at current market rates. The
extent of this risk is not quantifiable or predictable because of the
variability of future interest rates and our future financing requirements.
On March 11, 2003, we entered into two interest rate swap agreements for
an 8-year period ending September 1, 2011. In connection with the Senior Notes,
we exchanged fixed rate interest of 10.75% for variable rate interest. The
interest rate swap agreements have notional amounts of $50.0 million each. The
variable rates are equal to six month LIBOR plus 6.46% and 6.66%, respectively;
except for the initial period from March 11, 2003 to September 1, 2003, which
was determined via linear interpolation. As of January 31, 2004, we recorded an
increase of $2,566,464 in other accrued expenses to recognize the decrease in
fair value of the swap and a $2,566,464 reduction in the Senior Notes to
recognize the difference between the carrying value and fair value of the
related hedge liability.
ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, after evaluating
the effectiveness of our controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-14(c)
and 15d-14(c) of the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) as of the
end of the period covered by this report, have concluded that as of such date
the disclosure controls and procedures were adequate and effective in ensuring
that material information relating to Plastipak would be made known to them by
others in the company.
There were no significant changes in internal controls or other factors
that could significantly affect Plastipak's disclosure controls and procedures
subsequent to the date of their evaluation, nor were there any significant
deficiencies or material weaknesses in Plastipak's internal controls. As a
result, no corrective actions were required or undertaken.
