ORCHIDS PAPER PRODUCTS COMPANY
NOTES TO UNAUDITED INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Note 1
Basis of Presentation
Orchids Paper Products Company (Orchids or the Company) was formed in 1998 to acquire and
operate a paper manufacturing facility built in 1976 in Pryor, Oklahoma. Orchids Acquisition
Group, Inc. (Orchids Acquisition) was established in November 2003, for the purpose of acquiring
the common stock of Orchids. Orchids Acquisition closed the sale of its equity and debt securities
on March 1, 2004, and immediately thereafter closed the acquisition of Orchids. In April 2005,
Orchids Acquisition merged with and into Orchids, with Orchids as the surviving entity.
On July 20, 2005, the Company completed its public offering of 3,234,375 shares of its common
stock. The public offering price of the shares was $5.33. The number of shares and offering price
have been restated to reflect the three-for-two stock split effected July 21, 2006. See Note 2
below. The net proceeds from the offering were $15,011,000 after deducting the underwriting
discount and offering expenses. The Companys stock trades on the American Stock Exchange under
the ticker symbol TIS.
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared without an audit, pursuant to the rules
and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the Commission). Certain information
and footnote disclosures normally included in annual financial statements prepared in accordance
with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States have been condensed or omitted
pursuant to the rules and regulations. However, the Company believes that the disclosures made are
adequate to make the information presented not misleading when read in conjunction with the audited
annual financial statements and the notes thereto. Management believes that the financial
statements contain all adjustments necessary for a fair statement of the results for the interim
periods presented. All adjustments were of a normal, recurring nature. The results of operations
for the interim period are not necessarily indicative of the results for the entire fiscal year.
Note 2
Stock Splits
On June 16, 2006, the Company announced that its board of directors had approved a three-for-two
split of the Companys common stock to be effected in the form of a stock dividend. The record
date for the stock split was July 7, 2006, and the distribution date was July 21, 2006. In April 2005, the Companys and Orchids
Acquisitions boards of directors approved the merger of Orchids Acquisition into Orchids with
Orchids as the surviving entity. In connection with the merger, the number of authorized common
shares was increased to 10,000,000 and the number of common shares outstanding was split on a
2.744-for-1 basis. All common and per share amounts in these financial statements have been
restated to reflect the stock splits.
Note 3
Purchase Commitment and Foreign Currency Derivatives
During 2005, the Company, as part of its $34 million project to construct a new paper machine,
entered into purchase agreements totaling $8,700,000 with suppliers. Down payments were required
to these vendors with remaining periodic payments through the second quarter of 2006. One of these
agreements was denominated in Euros. All of the Companys obligations under these agreements have
been discharged as of September 30, 2006.
The Company entered into foreign currency exchange contracts in April 2005 to purchase Euros at a
fixed price in conjunction with the foreign currency portion of its obligations for the acquisition
of its new paper machine. In May 2006, the Company made the final payment due on the paper machine
and settled the last outstanding foreign currency exchange contract to exchange U.S. Dollars for
Euros totaling $760,000. The exchange contracts were carried at fair value on the balance sheet
while they were outstanding. The exchange contracts were not identified as cash flow hedges as
defined in SFAS No. 133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities. SFAS No.
133 requires the Company to recognize all derivatives as either assets or liabilities on the
balance sheet and
-6-
to measure those instruments at fair value. Further, since the transaction was
not considered a hedged transaction, fair value adjustments affected the Companys periodic net
income.
The net foreign currency gain resulting from the Companys Euro-denominated obligations and Euro
exchange contracts for the nine months ended September 30, 2006, of $39,000 and the net foreign
currency loss of $26,000 and $179,000 for the three months and nine months ended September 30,

New Paper Machine and Capitalized Interest
At September 30, 2006, capitalized costs for the new paper machine totaled $35.3 million, inclusive
of capitalized interest of $1,403,000. The new paper machine began producing saleable paper on
June 9, 2006. Accordingly, interest costs for the first five months of 2006 and for the first
eight days of June 2006 totaling $992,000 have been capitalized.
During 2005, the Company incurred capitalized costs of $18.3 million on the new paper machine
project. Included in this total was $411,000 of capitalized interest based on the weighted average
borrowing rate incurred on the Companys outstanding debt applied to average cumulative spending.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2005, capitalized costs incurred totaled $6.9 million,
inclusive of capitalized interest of $147,000.
Note 5 Credit Agreement
In June 2005, the Company entered into an amended and restated credit agreement. All of the loans
under the credit agreement mature on April 30, 2007. Accordingly, the outstanding balances under
this agreement have been classified as a current liability in the balance sheet as of September 30,
2006. The Company intends to refinance these debts on a long-term basis prior to the maturity
date. In October 2006, the Company amended its credit agreement to change the Funded Debt to
EBITDA and Debt Service Coverage Ratio covenant limits for the quarter ended September 30, 2006, to
4.5to-1 and 1.20-to-1, respectively, and for the Debt Service Coverage Ratio for the quarter ended
December 31, 2006 to 1.05-to-1 from the previous limits of 4.0-to-1 and to 1.25-to-1, respectively.
The covenant limits revert to the 4.0-to-1 for Funded Debt to EBITDA and 1.25-to-1 for Debt
Service Coverage Ratio for all future quarterly measurement periods for the remainder of the credit
agreement term. The credit facility provides for a $5.0 million revolving credit line, a $14.1
million term loan and a $15.0 million construction loan that converted to a term loan in October
2006. At September 30, 2006, $12.2 million was outstanding under the term loan, $15.0
million was outstanding under the construction loan and $2.9 million was outstanding under the
revolving credit line. In addition, $935,000 of bank overdrafts were included with the bank debt.
The borrowing base for the revolving credit line is determined by adding qualified receivables and
inventory. At September 30, 2006, the borrowing base for the revolving credit line was $5.2
million, which was limited by the credit facility to $5.0 million.
All of the above loans bear interest at the Companys election at the prime rate or LIBOR, plus a
margin based on the ratio of funded debt to EBITDA less income taxes paid. The margin is set
quarterly and ranges from negative 50 basis points to 150 basis points for prime rate-based loans
and from 225 to 425 basis points for LIBOR-based loans. At September 30, 2006, the Companys
weighted average borrowing rate was 9.40% under this agreement. Obligations under the amended and
restated credit agreement are secured by substantially all of the assets of the Company. The
agreement contains various restrictive covenants that include requirements to maintain certain
financial ratios and to restrict capital expenditures and dividend payments. If the credit
agreement is extended with the same terms, the Company would be required, beginning in 2007, to
reduce the outstanding principal amount of its term loans annually by an amount equal to 40% of its
excess cash flow, as defined in the credit agreement. The Company was in compliance with all
covenants, as amended, as of September 30, 2006.

For the nine-month period ended September 30, 2006, the Company estimates an effective tax rate of
4.0%. For the purposes of estimating its annual effective tax rate, the Company estimates that it
will report income before income taxes for the fourth quarter and the full year 2006. The Oklahoma
Investment Tax Credit (OITC) amounts to 2% of qualified investment per year for five years. If not
realizable during the five year period as credits against Oklahoma taxable earnings, it can be
carried forward fifteen years. The Company believes that essentially all of the spending on the
new paper machine will be a qualified investment for purposes of the OITC. The Company estimates
that the state income tax benefit of the OITC will largely offset federal and state income taxes
that would otherwise be provided, resulting in an effective tax rate of 4.0%.
Through the quarter ended June 30, 2006, we estimated an effective annual tax rate of 40.6% which
did not recognize the tax benefit of the OITC. For the quarter ended September 30, 2006, and the
nine-month provision, we have considered the OITC after the paper machine became operational. Tax
benefits recognized through June 30, 2006, based on the higher effective tax rate applied to
cumulative losses were significantly reduced in connection with the provision calculations for the
third quarter and nine-month periods of 2006.
For the quarter and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2005, the effect of non-deductible stock
option plan expense was largely offset by federal employment credits for Native Americans employed
by Orchids. This benefit lapsed at December 31, 2005, but could be renewed by Congress for 2006
and beyond. The 2006 provisions assume no extension, based on present law.

Note 8
Stock Incentive Plan
In April 2005, the board of directors and the stockholders approved the 2005 Stock Incentive Plan
(the Plan). The Plan provides for the granting of incentive stock options to employees selected
by the boards compensation committee. The Plan authorizes up to 697,500 shares to be issued. The
compensation committee subsequently awarded options for 405,000 shares to officers of the Company
at an exercise price of $5.33, which was equal to the initial public offering price of the stock.
The options vested 20% on the date of grant and then ratably 20% over the following four years and
have a ten-year term.
In June 2006, the board of directors authorized the issuance of options totaling 11,250 shares of
stock pursuant to the Plan to certain directors of the Company at an exercise price of $10.05,
which was equal to the current market price of the Companys stock on the date of the grant. In
February 2006, the board of directors authorized the issuance of options for 3,750 shares of stock
to a new member of the board of directors at an exercise price of $7.61, the current market price
on the date of the grant. In September 2005, the board of directors authorized the issuance of
options totaling 11,250 shares of stock pursuant to the Plan to certain directors of the Company at
an exercise price of $6.53, the current market price on the date of the grant. All of the board
options have a ten-year term and were fully vested on the date of grant.
In connection with the approval of the Plan, the Company adopted SFAS No. 123 (R) Share-Based
Payments and expenses the cost of options granted over the vesting period of the option based on
the grant-date fair value of the award. For the three months ended September 30, 2006 and 2005,
the Company recognized an expense of $47,000 and $79,000, respectively, related to options granted
under the Plan. For the nine months ended September 30, 2006 and 2005, the Company recognized an
expense of $201,000 and $321,000, respectively.
Note 9
Major Customers and Concentration of Credit Risk
Credit risk for the Company is concentrated in two major customers, each of whom operates discount
retail stores located throughout the United States. During the three-month periods ended September
30, 2006 and 2005, sales to the two significant customers accounted for approximately 63% and 70%
of the Companys total sales, respectively. For the nine months ended September 30, 2006 and 2005,
sales to the two significant customers accounted for approximately 63% and 70% of the Companys
total sales, respectively. At September 30, 2006, approximately 68% of accounts receivable was due
from these two significant customers. No other customers of the Company accounted
-9-
for more than 10% of sales during these periods. The Company generally does not require collateral from its
customers and has not incurred any significant losses on uncollectible accounts receivable.
Note
10 New Accounting Standards
In February 2006, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 155
Accounting for Certain Hybrid Financial Instruments amending SFAS No. 133 and SFAS No. 140. SFAS
No. 155 eliminates the exemption from applying SFAS No. 133 to securitized financial assets. The
provisions of SFAS No. 155 are to be applied to financial instruments issued or acquired during
fiscal periods beginning after September 15, 2006. The adoption of SFAS No. 155 is not expected to
have a material impact on the Companys financial position or results of operations.
In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157 Fair Value Measurements which amends and puts in
one place guidance on the use of fair value measurements which had been spread through four APB
Opinions and thirty-seven FASB Standards. No extensions of the use of fair value measurements are
contained in this new pronouncement and with some special industry exceptions (e.g.,
broker-dealers) no significant changes in practice should ensue. The standard is to be applied to
financial statements beginning after November 15, 2007. The adoption of SFAS No. 157 is not
expected to have a material impact on Orchids financial position or results of operations.
Also in September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 158 Employers Accounting for Defined Benefit
Pension Plans and Other Postretirement Plans an amendment of FASB Statements No. 87, 88, 106 and
132(R). This standard requires recognition in the balance sheet of the funded status of pension
plans, rather than footnote disclosure which is current practice. Publicly traded companies are to
reflect the new standard in financial statements ending after December 15, 2006 and non-public
companies are to apply it in statements ending after June 15, 2007. Because
Orchids does not maintain a defined benefit pension plan and has no plans to do so, this standard
should not have any impact on the Companys financial position or results of operations.

|
our estimates regarding our capital requirements; and |
|
|
|
any of our other plans, objectives, and intentions contained in this report that are not historical facts. |
These statements relate to future events or future financial performance, and involve known and
unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that may cause our actual results, levels of
activity, performance or achievements to be materially different from any future results, levels of
activity, performance or achievements expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. In
some cases, you can identify forward-looking statements by terminology such as may, should,
could, expects, plans, intends, anticipates, believes, estimates, predicts,
potential or continue or the negative of such terms or other comparable terminology. Although
we believe that the expectations reflected in the forward-looking statements are reasonable, we
cannot guarantee future results, levels of activity, performance or achievements. These statements
are only predictions.
You should not place undue reliance on forward-looking statements because they involve known and
unknown risks, uncertainties, and other factors that are, in some cases, beyond our control and
that could materially affect actual results, levels of activity, performance or achievements.
Factors that could materially affect our actual results, levels of activity, performance or
achievements include, without limitation, those detailed under the caption Risk Factors
-10-
in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2005, as filed with the
Securities and Exchange Commission on March 28, 2006, and the following items:
|
|
we face intense competition in our market and our profitability would be reduced if
aggressive pricing by our competitors forces us to decrease our prices; |
|
|
|
a substantial percentage of our revenues are attributable to two large customers which may
decrease or cease purchases at any time; |
|
|
|
we may experience higher than expected operating costs or lower than expected operating efficiencies on our new paper
machine; |
|
|
|
we have significant indebtedness which limits our free cash flow and subjects us to restrictive covenants relating to the
operation of our business; |
|
|
|
the availability of and prices for energy will significantly affect our business; |
|
|
|
our exposure to variable interest rates may affect our financial health; |
|
|
|
the loss of key personnel; |
|
|
|
the disruption in supply or cost of waste paper; |
|
|
|
labor interruptions; |
|
|
|
natural disaster or other disruption to our facility; |
|
|
|
ability to finance the capital requirements of our business; |
|
|
|
cost to comply with government regulations; |
|
|
|
increased expenses and administrative workload associated with being a public company; and |
|
|
|
failure to maintain an effective system of internal controls necessary to accurately report
our financial results and prevent fraud. |
If any of these risks or uncertainties materialize, or if our underlying assumptions prove to be
incorrect, actual results may vary significantly from what we projected. Any forward-looking
statement you read in the following Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
Results of Operations reflects our current views with respect to future events and is subject to
these and other risks, uncertainties, and assumptions relating to our operations, results of
operations, growth strategy, and liquidity. We assume no obligation to publicly update or revise
these forward-looking statements for any reasons, whether as a result of new information, future
events, or otherwise.
Overview
We manufacture bulk tissue paper, known as parent rolls, and convert parent rolls into a full line
of tissue products, including paper towels, bathroom tissue and paper napkins for the private label
segment of the consumer, or at home, market. We have focused our product design and
manufacturing on the value, or dollar store retailers due to their consistent order patterns,
limited number of stock keeping units, or SKUs, offered and the growth being experienced in this
channel of the retail market. While we have customers located throughout the United States, we
distribute most of our products within approximately 900 miles of our northeast Oklahoma facility,
which we consider to be our cost-effective shipping area. Our products are sold primarily under
our customers private labels and, to a lesser extent, under our brand names such as Colortex® and
Velvet®. All of our revenue is derived pursuant to truck load purchase orders from our
customers. We do not have supply contracts with any of our customers. Revenue is recognized when
title passes to the customer. Because our product is a daily consumable item, the order stream
-11-
from our customer base is fairly consistent with no significant seasonal fluctuations. Changes in
the national economy do not materially affect the market for our product. Large dollar store
customers usually allocate business for a range of SKUs by distribution center, and customarily
award such business on an annual basis.
The private label segment of the tissue industry is highly competitive, and value retail customers
are extremely price sensitive. As a result, it is difficult to effect price increases. We expect
these competitive conditions to continue.
We have purchased parent rolls in the open market since 1998 because our own parent roll production
has not adequately supplied the requirements of our converting facility. We purchased
approximately 12,200, 5,000 and 3,300 tons of paper on the open market in 2005, 2004 and 2003,
respectively, to supplement our paper-making capacity. In the three-month and nine-month periods
ending September 30, 2006, we converted 732 and 6,448 tons, respectively, of paper purchased on the
open market, which represented 7% and 23% respectively, of the total tons consumed. In the
three-month and nine-month periods ending September 30, 2005, we converted 2,953 and 7,657 tons,
respectively, of paper purchased on the open market which represented 30% and 29%, respectively, of
the total tons consumed. The reduction in the third quarter of 2006 in the amount of open-market
paper consumed is the result of the start-up of our new paper machine in early June 2006, which is
expected to be at full operating rates by November 2006. With the production from the new machine,
we intend to reduce or eliminate our need to purchase recycled parent rolls. The total cost of this
project is approximately $34 million, excluding capitalized interest of $1.4 million.
Our profitability depends on several key factors, including:
|
|
the market price of our product; |
|
|
|
the successful start-up and cost effective operation of our new paper machine; |
|
|
|
the cost of recycled waste paper used in producing paper; |
|
|
|
the efficiency of operations in both our paper mill and converting plant; and |
|
|
|
energy costs. |

Net sales in the three months ended September 30, 2006, decreased $281,000 to $15.2 million, or 2%,
compared to $15.4 million in the same period of 2005. Net sales figures include gross selling
price, including freight, less discounts and pricing allowances. The decrease in net sales was the
result of a lower level of case shipments being somewhat offset by higher net selling prices on
finished cases and the sale of internally produced parent rolls. Shipments decreased by 121,000
cases, or 8%, to 1.3 million cases of finished product in the quarter compared to 1.4 million cases
in the same period of 2005. The decrease in finished product shipments is the result of lower
business with our largest customer, being largely offset with higher overall business with several
of our larger customers. Approximately 64% of the case shipment decline is the result of
additional shipments in the 2005 period that were fill-in business with our largest customer to
remedy supply chain problems following hurricane Katrina. The additional production capacity
from our new paper machine provided the opportunity to sell 587 tons of parent rolls to third-party
customers in the current quarter. Our net selling price in the third quarter of 2006 for finished
products was $11.08 per case compared with $10.71 per case in the same period of 2005.

Major components of cost of sales are the cost of internally produced paper, the cost of parent
rolls purchased from third parties, raw materials, direct labor and benefits, freight costs of
products shipped to customers, insurance, repairs and maintenance, energy, utilities and
depreciation.
Cost of sales increased approximately $125,000, or 1%, to $13.3 million for the quarter ended
September 30, 2006, compared to $13.2 million in the same period of 2005. As a percentage of net
sales, cost of sales increased to 87.7% in the 2006 quarter compared to 85.3% in the same quarter
of 2005. Cost of sales as a percentage of net sales in the quarter ended September 30, 2006, was
unfavorably affected by an unfavorable sales mix variance, higher depreciation, higher packaging
costs and higher converting labor costs and was favorably affected by reduced consumption of paper
purchased from third parties and a lower cost of internally produced parent rolls. The following
chart breaks down the cost and volumes of internally produced paper and externally purchased paper.

The unfavorable sales mix was the result of an increase in bathroom tissue shipments as compared to
towel shipments. A change in the level of overall business with certain large customers is the
primary reason for the mix swing. The reduced level of purchased paper and a lower cost of
internal paper reduced our overall cost of paper in the third quarter of 2006 to $733 per ton, a
decrease of $65 per ton, compared to $798 per ton in the same quarter of 2005. Our cost of
internally produced paper, excluding depreciation, decreased $12 per ton to $703 per ton in the
quarter ended September 30, 2006, compared to $715 per ton in the same period in 2005. The
decrease was primarily related to a reduction in the per ton fixed and semi-variable costs, which
was a result of the increased production from the new paper machine, being somewhat offset by
higher energy and waste paper costs. We began recording depreciation on
-13-
our new paper machine in July 2006, following a June start-up, which is the reason for the increased depreciation expense in
the 2006 quarter.
Gross Profit
Gross profit in the quarter ended September 30, 2006, decreased $406,000, or 18%, to $1.9 million
compared to $2.3 million in the same period last year. Gross profit as a percentage of net sales
decreased to 12.3% in the third quarter of 2006 compared to 14.7% in the third quarter of 2005.
The major reasons for the reduced gross profit and the decline in gross profit percentage was the
lower sales volume, unfavorable sales mix, higher depreciation, higher packaging costs and higher
converting labor costs, which were somewhat offset by the lower overall cost of paper.

Selling, general and administrative expenses include salaries, commissions to brokers and other
miscellaneous expenses. Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased $110,000, or 9%, to
$1.1 million in the three months ended September 30, 2006, compared to $1.2 million in the same
period in 2005. The 2005 quarter included a $150,000 lump sum payment made as part of an amendment
to a management services agreement. Excluding that charge, selling general and administrative
expenses in the 2006 quarter were higher than the 2005 quarter by $40,000. The primary reasons for
the increase were a higher level of public company costs which were partially offset by lower
commission expenses and lower stock-based compensation expense. In the third quarter of 2006, we
recognized approximately $155,000 of public company expenses compared with approximately $16,000 of
public company expenses in the same period in 2005. These costs include fees for increased legal
and auditing services, expenses related to our annual report, proxy statement and annual
stockholder meeting, premiums for directors and officers insurance, increased internal accounting
costs and others. We anticipate our annual costs of being public will be approximately $550,000.
In the quarters ended September 30, 2006 and 2005, we recognized $47,000 and $79,000,
respectively, of stock-based compensation expense resulting from the grant of options for an
aggregate of 405,000 shares of stock in the second quarter of 2005 to certain members of management
and, in the 2005 period, a grant of options to certain board members. The management options were
granted pursuant to the 2005 Stock Incentive Plan which was approved by the board of directors and
stockholders in April 2005. The management options vested 20% on date of grant and then 20% on
each anniversary of the grant date over the succeeding four years. Quarterly charges for the
management stock options granted in the second quarter of 2005 will approximate $47,000 for the
remainder of 2006 and will continue through the vesting period ending in the first quarter of 2009.
The board options vested 100% on the date of grant.
Operating Income
As a result of the foregoing factors, operating income for the quarter ended September 30, 2006,
was $733,000 compared to an operating income of $1.0 million for the same period of 2005.

Interest expense includes interest on all debt and amortization of both deferred debt issuance
costs and the discount on our subordinated debt related to warrants issued with that debt.
Interest expense increased $493,000 to $836,000 in the quarter ended September 30, 2006, compared
to $343,000, net of $97,000 of capitalized interest, in the same period in 2005. Interest expense
increased due to the additional debt of approximately $15.0 million incurred on our new paper
machine project and, to a lesser extent, higher borrowings on our revolving credit agreement and
higher interest rates.
Other (income) expense in the quarter ended September 30, 2006, was income of $17,000 due to income
earned from a restricted certificate of deposit with our lending institution. Other (income)
expense in the prior year period was income of $59,000 resulting from $85,000 of income earned from
the unused proceeds from our initial public offering. This income was partially reduced by a net
foreign currency exchange loss of $26,000.
Income (Loss) Before Income Taxes
As a result of the foregoing factors, income (loss) before income taxes decreased $831,000 to a
loss of $86,000 in the quarter ended September 30, 2006, compared to income of $745,000 in the same
period in 2005.
Income Tax Provision (Benefit)
As of September 30, 2006, we estimate our annual effective income tax rate to be 4.0%. It is lower
than the statutory rate primarily because of Oklahoma Investment Tax Credits (OITC), partially
offset by the previously discussed non-deductible stock option expense. The OITC amounts to two
percent of qualified investment per year for five years. If not realizable during the five-year
period as credits against Oklahoma taxable earnings, it can be carried forward fifteen years. The
Company believes that essentially all of the $34 million spent on the new paper machine will be a
qualified investment for purposes of the OITC. Adjustment of the estimated annual effective tax
rate resulted in an effective rate of negative 75.6% in the third quarter of 2006, attributable to
the factors cited for the nine-month period as well as the reversal of tax benefits recorded
through June 30, 2006, when an effective annual tax rate of 40.6% was applied to pre-tax losses.
For the quarter ended September 30, 2005, our effective income tax rate was 35.6%. It was higher
than statutory rate due to the previously discussed non-deductible stock option expense, partially
offset by the utilization of Indian employment credits. Congress has not yet extended the tax
benefits relating to Indian employment and accelerated depreciation of capital assets located on
former Indian lands as of November 3, 2006, and, accordingly, these tax benefits are not reflected
in the 2006 provisions.

Net sales increased $1.27 million, or 3%, to $42.9 million in the nine-month period ended September
30, 2006, compared to $41.7 million in the same period of 2005. The increase in net sales is the
result of higher net selling prices and the sale of internally produced parent rolls being slightly
offset by lower shipments of finished cases. Finished case shipments decreased by 46,000 cases, or
1.2%, to 3.81 million cases of finished product in the nine-month
-15-
period ended September 30, 2006, compared to 3.85 million cases in the same period of 2005. Finished case shipment levels were
lower due to lower business with our largest customer being largely offset by higher overall
business with several of our other customers. Our net selling price in the nine-month period of
2006 was $11.14 per case compared with $10.82 per case in the 2005 period. The net selling price
per case increased primarily due to price increases which were implemented during the first and
second quarters of 2005. The additional production capacity from our new paper machine provided
the opportunity to sell 587 tons of parent rolls to third-party customers in the nine-month period
of 2006.

Major components of cost of sales are the cost of internally produced paper, the cost of parent
rolls purchased from third parties, raw materials, direct labor and benefits, freight cost of
products shipped to customers, insurance, repairs and maintenance, energy, utilities and
depreciation.
Cost of sales increased $2.9 million, or 8.2%, to $38.5 million in the nine-month period ending
September 30, 2006, compared to $35.6 million in the same period of 2005. As a percentage of net
sales, cost of sales increased to 89.7% in the nine months ended September 30, 2006, compared to
85.5% in the same period of 2005. Cost of sales as a percentage of net sales was unfavorably
affected by a higher average cost of internally produced parent rolls, an unfavorable sales mix,
higher converting labor costs, higher costs of packaging materials, higher depreciation expense and
a higher cost of paper purchased from third parties, which were partially offset by a reduction in
the amount of paper purchased from third parties. The following chart breaks down the cost and volumes of
internally produced paper and externally purchased paper.

The unfavorable sales mix was the result of an increase in bathroom tissue shipments as compared to
towel shipments. A change in the level of overall business with certain large customers is the
primary reason for the mix swing. Our cost of internally produced paper increased $25 per ton to
$740 per ton in the nine months ended September 30, 2006. Higher energy costs and a higher net
waste paper cost due to mix changes and lower yields associated with the start-up phase of the new
paper machine project were partially offset by lower fixed and semi-variable expenses following the
start-up of the new paper machine. Production from our new paper machine in the third quarter of
2006 reduced our requirements for purchased paper which positively affected our overall paper
costs. We began recording depreciation on our new paper machine in July 2006, following a June
start-up, which is the reason for the increased depreciation expense in the 2006 period.
Gross Profit
Gross profit in the nine months ended September 30, 2006, decreased $1.64 million, or 27%, to $4.4
million compared to $6.1 million for the same period in 2005. Gross profit as a percentage of
sales decreased to 10.3% in the 2006 period compared to 14.5% in the 2005 period. The major
reasons for the reduced gross profit and the decline in gross profit percentage was the unfavorable
sales mix, higher converting labor costs, a higher cost of internally produced paper, higher
packaging costs and higher depreciation expense.

Selling, general and administrative expenses include salaries, commission to brokers and other
miscellaneous expenses. Selling, general and administrative expenses increased $252,000, or 7%, to
$3.7 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2006, compared to $3.4 million in the same
period of 2005. The increase was primarily due to higher public company costs and higher
artwork-related expenditures being partially offset by reduced stock-based compensation expense and
a net reduction in the costs related to a management services agreement. In the first nine months
of 2006 we incurred approximately $500,000 of public company expenses compared with approximately
$50,000 in the same period in 2005. Public company expenses were lower in the 2005 period because
we were a privately held company until July 2005. Artwork expense increased approximately $130,000
in the nine-month period ended September 30, 2006, compared to the same period last year. A higher
than normal number of packaging changes by existing customers and packaging development with new
customers accounted for the increase, which was mostly incurred in the first quarter of 2006. In
the nine months ended September 30, 2006, we recognized $201,000 of stock-based compensation
expense resulting from the ongoing charges for the management options granted in April 2005,
coupled with the grants to certain members of our Board of Directors in February 2006 and June
2006. In the 2005 period, we recognized $321,000 of expense for the management options and for
options granted to certain board members in September 2005. The management options vest 20% on the
date of the grant and then 20% on each anniversary of the grant over the succeeding four years.
The board options vested 100% on the date of grant. Quarterly charges for the management stock
options will approximate $47,000 through the vesting period ending in the first quarter of 2009.
For the nine-month period ended September 30, 2006, we recognized $93,000 in fees under a
management services agreement compared to $343,000 in fees in the same period in 2005. A lump sum
payment of $150,000 was made in the 2005 period as a result of an amendment to a management
services agreement which reduced the annual management fee from $325,000 to $125,000.
Operating Income
As a result of the foregoing factors, operating income for the nine months ended September 30,
2006, was $773,000 compared to $2.7 million for the same period of 2005.

Interest expense includes interest on all debt and amortization of both deferred debt issuance
costs and the discount on our subordinated debt related to warrants issued with that debt.
Interest expense for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2006, was $1.13 million, net of
$992,000 of capitalized interest compared to interest expense in the 2005 period of $1.09 million,
net of $147,000 of capitalized interest. Excluding the capitalized interest, total interest
expense increased $885,000 to $2.1 million in the nine-month period ended September 30, 2006,
compared to $1.2 million in the nine-month period ended September 30, 2005. Gross interest expense
increased as a result of additional borrowings under a construction loan to fund our new paper
machine project, higher borrowings under our revolving credit agreement, and higher interest rates.
The primary reason for the increase in interest expense in the 2006 period was $15.0 million in
new borrowings on the construction loan for our paper machine project.
Other (income) expense improved $169,000 in the nine months ended September 30, 2006, to income of
$80,000 compared to expense of $89,000 in the same period in 2005. The improvement is primarily
due to a net foreign currency transaction gain of $39,000 in the nine months ended September 30,
2006, compared to a net foreign currency transaction loss of $179,000 in the same period of 2005,
and, to a lesser extent, income earned from the restricted certificate of deposit with our lending
institution, which were partially offset by lower earnings from unused proceeds of our July 2005
initial public offering. We entered into certain purchase agreements related to our project to
build a new paper machine in 2005. One of these purchase agreements was denominated in Euros. We
entered into foreign currency exchange contracts in the second quarter of 2005 to fix the price of
this purchase agreement. We made the final payment under the exchange contract and on the purchase
order in the second quarter of 2006. The exchange contract was carried at fair value and
adjustments to fair value affected net income.
Income (Loss) Before Income Taxes
As a result of the foregoing factors, income (loss) before income taxes decreased $1.8 million in
the nine-month period ended September 30, 2006, to a loss of $273,000 compared to income of $1.5
million in the same period in 2005.
Income Tax Provision (Benefit)
As of September 30, 2006, we estimate our annual effective tax rate to be 4.0%. It is lower than
the statutory rate primarily because of Oklahoma Investment Tax Credits, partially offset by the
previously discussed non-deductible stock option expense. The Oklahoma Investment Tax Credit (OITC)
amounts to two percent of qualified investment per year for five years. If not realizable during
the five year period as credits against Oklahoma taxable earnings, it can be carried forward
fifteen years. The Company believes that essentially all of the $34 million spent on the new paper
machine will be a qualified investment for purposes of the OITC. We anticipate having income
before income taxes for the full year 2006 and estimate that the state income tax benefit of the
OITC will largely offset federal and state income taxes that would otherwise be provided.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2005, our effective income tax rate was 36.7%. It was
higher than the statutory rate reflecting the previously discussed non-deductible stock option
expense, partially offset by the utilization of Indian employment credits. Congress has not yet
extended the tax benefits relating to Indian employment and accelerated depreciation of capital
assets located on former Indian lands as of November 3, 2006, and, accordingly, these tax benefits
are not reflected in the 2006 provisions.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
Liquidity refers to the liquid financial assets available to fund our business operations and pay
for near-term obligations. These liquid financial assets consist entirely of cash. Our cash
requirements have historically been satisfied through a combination of cash flows from operations
and debt financings. Our strategy to eliminate the need to purchase paper from third-party
suppliers by purchasing a new paper machine required substantial funding from external sources.
The total cost of this project was approximately $34 million, excluding capitalized interest of
$1.4 million. Cumulative spending on the project totaled $33.1 million, excluding capitalized
interest of $1.4 million, at September 30, 2006. The $33.1 million of project expenditures were
funded using all of the $15.0 million in net proceeds from the initial public offering on July 14,
2005, borrowings of the entire $15.0 million available under the
construction loan facility, borrowings under our revolving credit line and available cash.
Remaining project costs of approximately $800,000 million are expected to be funded using cash from
operations.
Cash decreased $375,000 at September 30, 2006, to $3,000 compared with $378,000 as of December 31,
2005. The remaining unused net proceeds from our initial public offering of $373,000 at year-end
2005 were applied to the paper machine project during January 2006.

Cash flow provided by operating activities was $2.5 million in the nine-month period ended
September 30, 2006, which primarily consisted of earnings before non-cash charges plus an increase
in trade accounts payable, partially offset by an increase in accounts receivable and inventories.
Cash used in investing activities was $17.3 million in the nine-month period ended September 30,
2006. The amount is almost entirely attributable to capital expenditures on our new paper machine.
Cash provided by financing activities was $14.4 million in the nine-month period ended September
30, 2006, and was primarily attributable to $15.0 million in borrowings under our construction loan
facility and $535,000 of net borrowings on our line of credit, reduced by $1.1 million in principal
payments on our term debt.
Cash provided by operating activities in the nine-month period ended September 30, 2005, was $1.6
million which primarily consisted of earnings before non-cash charges, being offset by increases in
accounts receivable of $1.3 million and in inventory of $908,000. The increase in accounts
receivable is the result of higher business activities at the end of the third quarter compared to
the level of business activities experienced at the end of the fourth quarter of 2004. The
inventory increase was the result of an abnormally low inventory level at year-end 2004 due to
tight supplies of outside parent rolls.
Cash used in investing activities was $16.4 million for the nine-month period ended September 30,
2005. The amount was due to $7.2 million in capital expenditures primarily attributable to
expenditures on our new paper machine and to $9.2 million of net investments in short-term
investment securities of the net proceeds from our initial public offering.

Cash provided by financing activities totaled $14.3 million for the nine-month period ended
September 30, 2005, and was primarily attributable to the net proceeds received from our initial
public offering in July 2005 of $15.0 million and $698,000 of borrowings under our revolving credit
line being somewhat offset by $1.2 million in term loan principal payments.
In June 2005, the Company entered into an amended and restated credit agreement. All of the loans
under the credit agreement mature on April 30, 2007. Accordingly, the outstanding balances under
the credit agreement have been classified as a current liability in the balance sheet as of
September 30, 2006. The Company intends to refinance these debts on a long-term basis prior to the
maturity date. In October 2006, we amended our credit agreement as follows: increase the Funded
Debt to EBITDA covenant limit for the quarter ended September 30, 2006, to 4.5-to-1.0 from the
previous limit of 4.0-to-1.0 and decrease the Debt Service Coverage Ratio to 1.20-to-1.0 for the
quarter ended September 30, 2006, and to 1.05-to-1.0 for the quarter ended December 31, 2006 from
the previous limit of 1.25-to-1.0. The covenant limits revert to 4.0-to-1.0 for the Funded Debt to
EBITDA and 1.25-to-1.0 for the Debt Service Coverage Ratio for all future quarterly measurement
periods during the term of the credit agreement. The amendment was required to avoid
non-compliance with the covenants as of September 30, 2006. We expect to comply with our bank
covenants during the remainder of the term of the credit agreement due to expected earnings
accretion from product content changes to our converted case products, lower internal paper
production costs and increased sales of converted product and parent rolls.
In June 2006, we amended our credit agreement in order to increase the Funded Debt to EBITDA
covenant limit for the quarter ended June 30, 2006, from 4.0-to-1.0 to 4.6-to-1.0. Lower than
expected earnings in the second quarter and third quarters of 2006 resulted in our need to amend
our bank covenants for the second consecutive quarter. The credit facility provides for a $5.0
million revolving credit line, a $14.1 million term loan and a $15.0 million interest-only
construction loan. The construction loan converted to a term loan during October 2006. At
September 30, 2006, $12.2 million was outstanding under the term loan, $15.0 million was
outstanding under the construction loan and $2.9 million was outstanding under the revolving credit
line. In addition, $935,000 of bank overdrafts were included with bank debt in the balance sheet.
At September 30, 2006, the borrowing base for the revolving credit line was $5.2 million, which was
limited by the credit facility to $5.0 million.
Amounts outstanding under the revolving line of credit, term loan and construction loan bear
interest at our election at the prime rate or LIBOR plus a margin based on the ratio of funded debt
to EBITDA less income taxes paid. The margin is set quarterly and ranges from negative 50 basis
points to 150 basis points for prime rate loans and from 225 to 425 basis points for LIBOR-based
loans. At September 30, 2006, our weighted average borrowing rate was 9.40%. Amounts outstanding
under the construction loan are excluded from the calculation of funded debt until April 2007.
As a condition of funding the construction loan, the agreement required us to invest at least $10
million in our paper machine expansion project and to establish an interest reserve account of at
least $1.5 million. The interest reserve account must be maintained until a date which is seven
months after the certificate of project completion is issued, at which time the funds will be used
to reduce the principal balance of the term loan. The certificate of project completion was issued
in October 2006. The amount available under the revolving credit line may be reduced in the event
that our borrowing base, which is based upon our qualified receivables and qualified inventory, is
less than $5.0 million. If the credit agreement is extended with the same terms, we would be
required, beginning in April 2007, to reduce the outstanding principal amount of our term loans
annually by an amount equal to 40% of excess cash flow, as defined. Obligations under the amended
and restated credit agreement are secured by substantially all of our assets. The agreement
contains various restrictive covenants that include requirements to maintain certain financial
ratios, restricts capital expenditures and the payment of dividends.
The credit agreement contains representations and warranties, and affirmative and negative
covenants customary for financings of this type, including, but not limited to, a covenant
prohibiting us from declaring or paying dividends. The financial covenants measure our performance
against standards for leverage, tangible net worth, debt service coverage, tested as of the end of
each quarter, and a limit on the amount of annual capital expenditures. As a result of the
amendment to our credit agreement during October 2006, the maximum allowable leverage ratio is
4.5-to-1.0 for the quarter ended September 30, 2006, and 4.0-to-1.0 for the future quarters, the
minimum allowable debt service coverage ratio is 1.20-to-1.0 for the quarter ended September 30,
2006, 1.05-to-1.0 for the quarter ended December 31, 2006 and 1.25-to-1.0 for the future quarters.
The credit agreement requires a minimum tangible net worth of
-20-
$19.5 million. The effects of the
interest reserve account and borrowings under the construction loan are excluded from the
calculation of financial covenants until seven months after the date the certificate of completion
related to the project is issued. The completion certificate was issued in October 2006, thereby
making the end of the second quarter of 2007 the first measurement date to exclude the effects of
the interest reserve account and construction loan
borrowings, which is after the renewal date of our bank financing agreement. Our annual
expenditures for capital equipment, excluding the new paper machine, are limited to $1.0 million
per fiscal year.
Finally, the agreement contains customary events of defaults for financings of this type,
including, but not limited to the occurrence of a change in management such that Michael P. Sage is
no longer our chief executive officer without the prior written consent of the banks, which consent
may not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.
If an event of default occurs, the agent may declare the banks obligation to make loans terminated
and all outstanding indebtedness, and all other amounts payable under the credit agreement, due and
payable.
On March 1, 2004, we sold units consisting of $2.15 million principal amount of subordinated
debentures due March 1, 2009, and common stock warrants. The subordinated debentures were sold in
units of $1,000 bearing interest at 12% per year, payable quarterly, with each note including a
warrant to purchase 57 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $2.43 per share. We have the
right to prepay, without premium or penalty, any unpaid principal on the subordinated debentures.
The subordinated debentures are expressly subordinated to the prior payment in full of amounts owed
under our revolving line of credit and term loans. The subordinated debentures contain customary
covenants and events of default.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
The preparation of our financial statements and related disclosures in conformity with accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and
judgments that affect our reported amounts of assets and liabilities, revenue and expense, and
related disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities. On an ongoing basis, we evaluate our
estimates and assumptions based upon historical experience and various other factors and
circumstances. Management believes that our estimates and assumptions are reasonable under the
circumstances; however, actual results may vary from these estimates and assumptions under
different future circumstances. We have identified the following critical accounting policies that
affect the more significant judgments and estimates used in the preparation of our financial
statements.
Accounts Receivable. Accounts receivable consist of amounts due to us from normal business
activities. Our management must make estimates of accounts receivable that will not be collected.
We perform ongoing credit evaluations of our customers and adjust credit limits based upon payment
history and the customers creditworthiness as determined by our review of their current credit
information. We continuously monitor collections and payments from our customers and maintain a
provision for estimated losses based on historical experience and specific customer collection
issues that we have identified. Trade receivables are written-off when all reasonable collection
efforts have been exhausted, including, but not limited to, external third party collection efforts
and litigation. While such credit losses have historically been within managements expectations
and the provision established, there can be no assurance that we will continue to experience the
same credit loss rates as in the past. During the three-month and nine-month periods ended
September 30, 2006, provisions for doubtful accounts were recognized in the amount of $15,000 and
$45,000. Comparable provisions for the three-month and nine-month periods ended September 30,
2005, were $15,000 and $46,000. There were no accounts receivable balances written-off in the
three-month or nine-month periods ended September 30, 2006. Accounts receivable balances of
$12,000 were written-off in the three-month and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2005.
Inventory. Our inventory consists of finished goods and raw materials and is stated at the lower
of cost or market. Our management regularly reviews inventory quantities on hand and records a
provision for excess and obsolete inventory based on the age of the inventory and forecasts of
product demand. A significant decrease in demand could result in an increase in the amount of
excess inventory quantities on hand. During the nine months ended September 30, 2006,
the
inventory valuation reserve decreased by $2,000, due to provisions charged against cost of sales
being more than offset by write-offs of obsolete packaging materials. During the nine months ended
September 30, 2005,
-21-
the inventory valuation reserve was reduced by $15,000, primarily due to the
write-off of obsolete packaging materials against the reserve.
New Accounting Pronouncements
In February 2006, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 155
Accounting for Certain Hybrid Financial Instruments amending SFAS No. 133 and SFAS No. 140. SFAS
No. 155 eliminates the exemption from applying SFAS No. 133 to securitized financial assets. The
provisions of SFAS No. 155 are to be applied to financial instruments issued or acquired during
fiscal periods beginning after September 15, 2006. The adoption of SFAS No. 155 is not expected to
have a material impact on the Companys financial position or results of operations.
In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157 Fair Value Measurements which amends and puts in
one place guidance on the use of fair value measurements which had been spread through four APB
Opinions and thirty-seven FASB Standards. No extensions of the use of fair value measurements are
contained in this new pronouncement and with some special industry exceptions (e.g.,
broker-dealers) no significant changes in practice should ensue. The standard is to be applied to
financial statements beginning after November 15, 2007. The adoption of SFAS No. 157 is not
expected to have a material impact on Orchids financial position or results of operations.
Also in September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 158 Employers Accounting for Defined Benefit
Pension Plans and Other Postretirement Plans an amendment of FASB Statements No. 87, 88, 106 and
132(R). This standard requires recognition in the balance sheet of the funded status of pension
plans, rather than footnote disclosure which is current practice. Publicly traded companies are to
reflect the new standard in financial statements ending after December 15, 2006 and non-public
companies are to apply it in statements ending after June 15, 2007. Because Orchids does not
maintain a defined benefit pension plan and has no plans to do so, this standard should not have
any impact on the Companys financial position or results of operations.
Non-GAAP Discussion
In addition to our GAAP results, we also consider non-GAAP measures of our performance for a number
of purposes. We use EBITDA as a supplemental measure of our performance that is not required by,
or presented in accordance with, GAAP. EBITDA is not a measurement of our financial performance
under GAAP and should not be considered as an alternative to net income, operating income or any
other performance measure derived in accordance with GAAP, or as an alternative to cash flow from
operating activities or a measure of our liquidity.
EBITDA represents net income before net interest expense, income tax expense, depreciation and
amortization. We believe EBITDA facilitates operating performance comparisons from period to
period and company to company by eliminating potential differences caused by variations in capital
structures (affecting relative interest expense), tax positions (such as the impact on periods or
companies of changes in effective tax rates or net operating losses) and the age and book
depreciation of facilities and equipment (affecting relative depreciation expense).
EBITDA has limitations as an analytical tool, and you should not consider it in isolation, or as a
substitute for any of our results as reported under GAAP. Some of these limitations are:
. |
|
it does not reflect our cash expenditures for capital assets; |
|
. |
|
it does not reflect changes in, or cash requirements for, our working capital requirements; |
|
. |
|
it does not reflect the interest expense, or the cash requirements necessary to service interest
or principal payments on our indebtedness; |
|
. |
|
although depreciation and amortization are non-cash charges, the assets being depreciated and
amortized will often have to be replaced in the future, and EBITDA does not reflect cash
requirements for such replacements; and |
-22-
. |
|
other companies, including other companies in our industry, may calculate these measures
differently than we do, limiting their usefulness as a comparative measure. |
Because of these limitations, EBITDA should not be considered as a measure of discretionary cash
available to us to invest in the growth of our business or to reduce our indebtedness. We
compensate for these limitations by relying primarily on our GAAP results and using EBITDA on a
supplemental basis.
The following table reconciles EBITDA to net income for the quarters ended September 30, 2006 and
2005:

EBITDA was flat at $1.4 million in the quarter ended September 30, 2006, compared to same
period of 2005. EBITDA as a percent of net sales was also flat at 9.5% in both the current and
prior year quarters. The foregoing factors discussed in the net sales, cost of sales and selling,
general and administrative expenses sections are largely offsetting.

EBITDA decreased $1.4 million, or 37%, to $2.3 million in the nine months ended September 30,
2006, compared to $3.7 million in the same period of 2005. EBITDA as a percent of sales declined
to 5.4% in the current year-to-date period compared to 8.9% in the prior year. The foregoing
factors discussed in the net sales, cost of sales and selling, general and administrative expenses
sections are the reasons for these changes.
ITEM 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk
Our market risks relate primarily to changes in interest rates. Our revolving line of credit,
construction loan and term loan carry variable interest rates that are tied to market indices and,
therefore, our statement of income and our cash flows will be exposed to changes in interest rates.
As of September 30, 2006, we have borrowings totaling $30.1 million that carry a variable interest
rate. Outstanding balances under our line of credit, construction loan and term loan bear interest
at the prime rate or LIBOR, plus a margin based upon the debt service coverage ratio. Based on the
current borrowings, a 100 basis point change in interest rates would result in a $301,000 change to
our annual interest expense.

ITEM 4. Controls and Procedures
Our management, under the supervision and with the participation of our chief executive officer and
chief financial officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures
(as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as
amended), as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Any controls
and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of
achieving the desired control objectives. Based on such evaluation, our chief executive officer
and chief financial officer have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were
effective as of September 30, 2006.
