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 the 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 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
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 Split
On June 16, 2006, the Company announced that its board of directors had approved a 3-for-2 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. All common and per share amounts in
these financial statements have been restated to reflect the stock split.
Note 3 Purchase Commitment and Foreign Currency Derivatives
During 2005, the Company entered into purchase agreements totaling $8,700,000 with suppliers to
construct a new paper machine. 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.
The Company entered into foreign currency exchange contracts 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. At March 31, 2006, the Company had one outstanding foreign exchange contract to
exchange U.S. Dollars for Euros totaling $760,000 for the final payment due on the equipment. The
exchange contract was carried at fair value on the balance sheet. 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 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 transaction loss resulting from the Companys Euro denominated obligations
and Euro exchange contracts for the three months ended March 31, 2006, of $5,000 was included in
other (income) expense, net.
-6-
Note 4
Capitalized Interest
During the first three months of 2006, the Company capitalized all current interest costs incurred,
totaling $481,000, because the average cumulative spending on the paper machine project exceeded
the level of the Companys outstanding debt during that period. Interest expense reported in the
income statement for the three-month period ended March 31, 2006 consists of amortization of debt
issuance costs. No interest costs were capitalized in the three-month period ended March 31, 2007
because the paper machine was placed into service in June 2006.
Note 5
Earnings per Share
The computation of basic and diluted net income (loss) per share for the three-month periods ended

Note 6
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 board of directors
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
vest 20% on the date of grant and then ratably 20% over the following four years and have a
ten-year term.
In February 2007, the board of directors authorized options for 3,750 shares of stock to a new
member of the board of directors at an exercise price of $8.58, the current market price on the
date of the grant. The board options have a ten-year term and were fully vested on the date of the
grant. Fair values were estimated at the date of grant of the options granted in February 2007,
using the Black-Scholes option valuation model with the following assumptions: risk-free interest
rate of 4.83%, volatility factor of the expected market price of the Companys common stock of 40%,
no dividend yield on the Companys common stock, and an expected life of the options of five years.
The Black-Scholes option valuation model was developed for use in estimating the fair value of
traded options, which have no vesting restrictions and are fully transferable. In addition,
options valuation models require the input of highly subjective assumptions including the expected
stock price volatility.
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
-7-
award. The Company recognized an expense of $60,000 and $59,000
for the three months ended March 31, 2007 and March 31, 2006, respectively, related to options
granted under the Plan.
Note 7
Major Customers and Concentration of Credit Risk
Credit risk for the Company is concentrated in three major customers, each of whom operates
discount retail stores located throughout the United States. Shipments to a discount retailer that
was added to our customer base during the fourth quarter of 2006, exceeded 10% of the Companys
sales during the first quarter of 2007. During the three month periods ended March 31, 2007 and
2006, sales to the three significant customers accounted for approximately 60% and 61% of the
Companys total sales, respectively. At March 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively, approximately
$2,314,000 (49%) and $1,914,000 (51%) of accounts receivable was due from these three significant
customers. No other customers of the Company accounted 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 8 Subsequent Event
On April 9, 2007, Orchids closed the re-financing of its credit facility under the following terms.
The new credit facility with its existing bank group consists of the following:
. |
|
a $6.0 million revolving credit facility with a 3-year term; |
|
. |

Under the terms of the new credit facility, amounts outstanding under the revolving credit facility
will bear interest at Orchids election at the prime rate or LIBOR plus a margin and amounts
outstanding under Term Loan B and the capital expenditures facility will bear interest at LIBOR
plus a margin, which is set quarterly and based on the ratio of funded debt to EBITDA less income
taxes paid. Amounts outstanding under Term Loan A will bear interest at LIBOR plus 180 basis
points. For the revolving credit facility, the margin ranges from a negative 50 basis points to
150 basis points for loans with a prime rate election and 200 to 375 basis points for loans with a
LIBOR election. For term
loan B, the margin ranges from 200 basis points to 300 basis points over LIBOR. For the capital
expenditures facility, the margin ranges from 150 basis points to 250 basis points over LIBOR.
The credit facility contains covenants that will, among other things, require Orchids to maintain a
specific funded debt to EBITDA ratio, debt service coverage ratio and an annual limit on
un-financed capital expenditures. The $1.5 million restricted certificate of deposit was released
and applied to the revolving credit facility.
Note 9
New Accounting Standards
FASB Interpretation No. 48 Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes (FIN 48) was issued in June
2006. It clarifies recognition and derecognition criteria for tax positions taken in a return that
may be subject to challenge upon audit. If it is more likely than not, that the tax position
will be sustained upon examination, the benefit is to be recognized in the financial statements.
Conversely, if the position is less likely than not to be sustained, the benefit should not be
recognized. The recognition/derecognition decision should be reflected in the first interim period
when the status changes and not deferred to a future settlement upon audit. General tax reserves
to cover aggressive positions taken in filed returns are no longer allowable. Each issue must be
judged on its own merits and a recognition/derecognition decision recorded in the financial
statements. FIN 48 was effective for fiscal years
-8-
beginning after December 15, 2006. Because the
Company knowingly takes no aggressive positions in its tax returns and accordingly, carries no
income tax reserves on its books, this Interpretation did not have an effect during the first
quarter of 2007 and is not expected to have a material effect on the Companys financial position
or results of operations in future periods.
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 37 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.
In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159 Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and
Financial Liabilities including an amendment of FASB Statement No. 115. This standard permits
the use of fair value measurement of financial assets and liabilities in the balance sheet with the
net change in fair value recognized in periodic net income. The Standard is effective for fiscal
years beginning after November 15, 2007. The adoption of this standard is not expected to have a
material effect on the Companys financial position or results of operations because the majority
of its debts and investment assets are variable rate and thus fair value approximates recorded
value.

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 discount retail market, primarily the 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 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.
Our profitability depends on several key factors, including:
. |
|
the market price of our product; |
|
. |
|
the cost of recycled paper used in producing paper; |
|
. |
|
the efficiency of operations in both our paper mill and converting plant; and |
|
. |
|
energy costs. |
-10-
The private label segment of the tissue industry is highly competitive, and discount retail
customers are extremely price sensitive. As a result, it is difficult to effect price increases.
We expect these competitive conditions to continue.
In June 2006, we began operating a new paper machine with an annual capacity of approximately
33,000 tons. The capacity of the new machine, in addition to the capacity of a combination of our
older machines, increased our total production capacity to approximately 47,000 tons per year. As
a result, beginning in the third quarter of 2006, we were able to eliminate the requirement to
purchase recycled parent rolls on the open market. We continue to buy a small quantity of premium
virgin fiber-based parent rolls. Prior to the third quarter of 2006, we had purchased parent rolls
on the open market since 1998 because our own parent roll production had not adequately supplied
the requirements of our converting facility. We purchased approximately 6,970, 12,200 and 5,000
tons of paper on the open market in 2006, 2005 and 2004, respectively, to supplement our
paper-making capacity. In the first quarter of 2007 we purchased 321 tons of premium parent rolls
compared to purchases of 3,343 tons of primarily recycled parent rolls in the first quarter of
2006. Parent rolls are a commodity product and thus are subject to market price and availability.
We experienced significantly higher parent roll prices beginning in early 2004, as well as limited
availability, which negatively affected our profitability.

Net sales increased $2.5 million, or 18%, to $16.6 million in the quarter ended March 31,
2007, compared to $14.1 million in the same period of 2006. Net sales figures include gross
selling price, including freight, less discounts and pricing allowances. The increase in net sales
is primarily the result of sales of approximately 1,500 tons of parent rolls attributable to the
incremental capacity provided by our new paper machine which resulted in parent roll production
exceeding customer orders for converted finished goods and, to a lesser extent, an increase in tons
of
converted finished goods shipped to customers. There were no sales of parent rolls in the first
quarter of 2006. Total shipments increased by 1,943 tons, or 21%, to 11,161 tons compared to 9,218
tons in the same period of 2006. Our net selling price in the first quarter of 2006 was $1,491 per
ton compared with $1,530 per ton in the same period of 2006. The net selling price per ton
decreased primarily due to increased sales of parent rolls which are sold at prices lower than
converted finished goods, which was somewhat offset by a 2% increase in the selling price per ton
of converted finished goods.

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 $2.2 million, or 18%, to $14.8 million for the quarter ended
March 31, 2007, compared to $12.5 million in the same period of 2006. As a percentage of net
sales, cost of sales remained flat at approximately 89% of net sales. Cost of sales as a
percentage of net sales in the quarter ended March 31, 2007 was unfavorably affected by higher raw
material prices, higher converting labor costs and depreciation expense, which were largely offset
by lower overall cost of paper, which was primarily due to the reduced quantity of parent rolls
purchased. The following chart depicts the major factors that influence our paper costs.

Our overall cost of paper decreased by $82 per ton in the quarter March 31, 2007 to $777 per
ton compared to $859 per ton in the same period of 2006. The main reason for the decrease is the
reduction in the quantity of parent rolls purchased from third parties following the start-up of
our new paper machine in June 2006. As result of the production from the new paper machine in the
first three months of 2007, purchases of recycled parent rolls were eliminated, resulting in
purchases of 321 tons of premium virgin fiber-based parent rolls compared to total purchases of
3,343 tons of primarily recycled parent rolls in the same period of 2006. The average cost of
parent rolls purchased from third parties increased $117 per ton to $1,149 in the quarter ended
March 31, 2007, compared to the same period in 2006 because the mix of purchases in the 2007 period
was 100% premium virgin fiber-based parent rolls compared to a mix of primarily recycled parent
rolls in the same period in 2006. Our cost of internally produced paper, excluding depreciation,
increased $6 per ton to $766 per ton in the quarter ended March 31, 2007, compared to $760 per ton
in the same period in 2006. Higher waste paper costs and electrical rates were largely offset by
the effect of
-12-
increased paper production on labor and semi-fixed costs per ton. The prices we paid
for waste paper increased approximately 25% in the first quarter of 2007 compared with the same
period in 2006 as an overall tight waste paper market resulted in significant increases in the
first quarter of 2007 across all grades of waste paper.
Gross Profit
Gross profit in the quarter ended March 31, 2007 increased $307,000, or 20%, to $1.9 million
compared to $1.6 million in the same period last year. Gross profit as a percentage of net sales
was essentially flat at 11% in the first quarter of 2007 and 2006. The effect of reduced purchases
of externally purchased parent rolls was largely offset by higher raw material, electricity and
converting labor costs.

Selling, general and administrative expenses include salaries, commissions to brokers and
other miscellaneous expenses. Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased $51,000, or
4%, to $1.2 million in the quarter ended March 31, 2007. As a percent of net sales, selling,
general and administrative expenses decreased to 7.2% in the first quarter of 2007 compared to 8.9%
in the same period of 2006. A reduction in artwork expense which was partially offset by higher
commission expenses and public company expenses were the main reasons for the overall decrease. A
higher than normal number of packaging changes by existing customers and graphics and packaging
development with new customers in the 2006 quarter accounted for the higher expense in that period.
Operating Income
As a result of the foregoing factors, operating income for the quarter ended March 31, 2007 was
$673,000 compared to $315,000 for the same period of 2006.

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 $826,000 to $873,000 in the quarter ended March 31, 2007, compared to
$47,000 in the quarter ended March 31, 2006. Interest expense in the 2006 quarter included the
capitalization of $481,000 of interest related to our new paper machine project. Excluding the
interest capitalization, interest expense increased $345,000 in the first quarter of 2007 compared
to the same period in 2006. The primary reason for the increase was $15.0 million in incremental
borrowings during the first eight months of 2006 on the construction loan for our paper machine
project, increased borrowings under the revolving credit facility and an increase in interest rates
for the year-over-year comparison.
-13-
Other income increased to $20,000 due to income earned from a restricted certificate of deposit
with our lending institution and the absence of a net foreign currency exchange loss of $5,000
recorded in the first quarter of 2006. We entered into certain purchase agreements in 2004
related to our project to build a new paper machine. One of these purchase agreements was
denominated in Euros. Our minimum unpaid obligation under this purchase agreement as of March 31,
2006 was US $698,000 and was recorded in accrued liabilities. We entered into foreign currency
exchange contracts in the second quarter of 2005 to fix the price of this purchase agreement. At
March 31, 2006, our outstanding foreign exchange contract totaled US $760,000. The exchange
contract was carried at fair value and any adjustments to fair value affected net income. The net
foreign currency transaction loss resulting from our Euro denominated obligations and Euro exchange
contracts for the three months ended March 31, 2006 was $5,000.
Income (Loss) Before Income Taxes
As a result of the foregoing factors, income (loss) before income taxes decreased $460,000 to a
loss of $180,000 in the quarter ended March 31, 2007, compared to income of $280,000 in the same
period in 2006.
Income Tax Provision (Benefit)
As of March 31, 2007, we estimate our annual effective income tax rate to be 27%. It is lower than
the statutory rate because of Oklahoma Investment Tax Credits associated with our investment in a
new paper machine and the utilization of federal Indian Employment Credits. These factors were
partially offset by non-deductible stock option expense and state income taxes. As of March 31,
2006, we estimated our annual effective income tax rate to be 35%. It was higher than the
statutory rate because of the non-deductible stock option expense and state income taxes, largely
offset by the recently enacted domestic production deduction.
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 of cash as well as short-term
investments. Our cash requirements have historically been satisfied through a combination of cash
flows from operations and debt financings.
Cash was unchanged in the quarter ended March 31, 2007 at $3,000. Cash decreased $374,000 at March
31, 2006, to $4,000 compared with $378,000 as of December 31, 2005, as the remaining unused net
proceeds from our 2005 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 $930,000 in the three-month period ended March
31, 2007, which primarily consisted of earnings before non-cash charges and credits and an increase
in accounts payable, which were partially offset by an increase in accounts receivable reflecting
increased sales late in the quarter. The accounts payable increase was the result of increased raw
material prices and the timing of purchases and disbursements.
Cash used in investing activities was $77,000 in the three-month period ended March 31, 2007. The
amount is attributable to several maintenance capital expenditure projects.
Cash used in financing activities was $853,000 in the three-month period ended March 31, 2007 and
was primarily attributable to repayments of principal on our term loans and, to a lesser extent, a
net reduction in the revolving credit balance, which includes bank overdrafts.
Cash flow provided by operating activities was $37,000 in the three-month period ended March 31,
2006, which primarily consisted of earnings before non-cash charges, a draw-down in customer
accounts receivable and an increase in accounts payable, being offset by a substantial increase in
inventory. The increase in inventory was the result of purchases of parent rolls from
third-parties that exceeded converting requirements in anticipation of draw-downs during the
start-up of the new paper machine and production of finished case products in excess of customer
requirements for the quarter.
Cash used in investing activities was $8.8 million in the three-month period ended March 31, 2006.
The amount is attributable to capital expenditures on our new paper machine.
Cash provided by financing activities was $8.4 million in the three-month period ended March 31,
2006, and was primarily attributable to borrowings under our construction loan facility.
In June 2005, the Company entered into an amended and restated credit agreement. The credit
facility provided for a $5.0 million revolving credit line, a $14.1 million term loan and a $15.0
million construction loan. All of the loans under the credit agreement were scheduled to mature on
April 30, 2007. At March 31, 2007, $11.4 million was outstanding under the term loan, $14.7
million was outstanding under the construction loan and $4.1 million was outstanding under the
revolving credit line. In addition, $730,000 of bank overdrafts were included in the long-term
debt section of the balance sheet. At March 31, 2007, the borrowing base for the revolving credit
line was $5.5 million, which was limited to $5.0 million per the terms of the credit agreement.
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 loans with a prime rate election and from 225 to 425
basis points for loans with a LIBOR election. At March 31, 2007 our weighted average borrowing rate was 9.35%.
On April 9, 2007, we entered into a new amended and restated credit agreement with our existing
bank group to re-finance our existing credit facility. The new credit facility consists of the
following loans:
. |
|
a $6.0 million revolving credit facility with a 3-year term; |
|
. |

Under the terms of the credit agreement, amounts outstanding under the revolving credit facility
will bear interest at our election at the prime rate or LIBOR plus a margin and amounts outstanding
under Term Loan B and the capital expenditures facility will bear interest at LIBOR plus a margin,
which margin is set quarterly and based on the ratio of funded debt to EBITDA less income taxes
paid. Amounts outstanding under Term Loan A will bear interest at LIBOR plus 180 basis points.
For the revolving credit facility, the margin ranges from a negative 50 basis points to 150 basis
points for loans with a prime rate election and 200 to 375 basis points for loans with a LIBOR
election. For term loan B, the margin ranges from 200 basis points to 300 basis points over LIBOR.
For the capital expenditures facility, the margin ranges from 150 basis points to 250 basis points
over LIBOR. Our $1.5 million restricted certificate of deposit, which was required under the terms
of the old credit agreement, was released and applied to the revolving credit facility.
Access to the $3.0 million capital expenditures facility is restricted until such time that we
produce an aggregate of $5.0 million of EBITDA in two consecutive quarters. The facility is
intended to fund a potential expansion of our wastewater pre-treatment. We may be required to
expand our existing pre-treatment facility to reduce biological oxygen demand and total suspended
solids from our effluent stream. The timing and the amount of this project is uncertain as the
amount and timing of any requirement to reduce our biological oxygen demand and total suspended
solids levels have not been determined.
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 $6.0
million. Obligations under the amended and restated credit agreement are secured by substantially
all of our assets. The 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 in the agreement
require us to maintain specific ratios of funded debt-to-EBITDA and debt service coverage which are
tested as of the end of each quarter and places a limit on the amount of annual un-financed capital
expenditures. The maximum allowable funded debt-to-EBITDA ratio is 4.5 to 1.0 as of June 30, 2007
and 4.0 to 1.0 for all quarters thereafter, and the minimum allowable debt service coverage ratio
is 1.25 to 1.0. Our annual expenditures for un-financed capital equipment are limited to $1.0
million per fiscal year until we produce an aggregate EBITDA of $5.0 million for two consecutive
quarters, at such time our annual capital expenditures are limited to $1.5 million.
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 $2.2 million principal amount of subordinated
debentures 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.
-16-
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 periods ended March 31, 2007 and
2006, provisions for doubtful accounts were recognized in the amount of $15,000 for each period.
In addition, $7,000 of recoveries of accounts previously written off were credited to the allowance
during the first three months of 2007. There were no recoveries during the first quarter of 2006.
There were no accounts receivable balances written-off in the three-month periods ended March 31,
2007 and 2006.
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. There were no changes in the inventory valuation reserve
during the three-month periods ended March 31, 2007 and 2006.
New Accounting Pronouncements
FASB Interpretation No. 48 Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes (FIN 48) was issued in June
2006. It clarifies recognition and derecognition criteria for tax positions taken in a return that
may be subject to challenge upon audit. If it is more likely than not, that the tax position
will be sustained upon examination, the benefit is to be recognized in the financial statements.
Conversely, if the position is less likely than not to be sustained, the benefit should not be
recognized. The recognition/derecognition decision should be reflected in the first interim period
when the status changes and not deferred to a future settlement upon audit. General tax reserves
to cover aggressive positions taken in filed returns are no longer allowable. Each issue must be
judged on its own merits and a recognition/derecognition decision recorded in the financial
statements. FIN 48 was effective for fiscal years
beginning after December 15, 2006. Because the Company knowingly takes no aggressive positions in
its tax returns and accordingly, carries no income tax reserves on its books, this Interpretation
did not have an effect during the first quarter of 2007 and is not expected to have a material
effect on the Companys financial position or results of operations in future periods.
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 37 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.
In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159 Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and
Financial Liabilities including an amendment of FASB Statement No. 115. This standard permits
the use of fair value measurement of financial assets and liabilities in the balance sheet with the
net change in fair value recognized in periodic net income. The Standard is effective for fiscal
years beginning after November 15, 2007. The adoption of this standard is not expected to have a
material effect on the Companys financial position or results of operations because the majority
of its debts and investment assets are variable rate and thus fair value approximates recorded
value.

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 |
|
. |
|
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.

EBITDA increased $722,000, or 100%, to $1.4 million in the quarter ended March 31, 2007,
compared to $720,000 in the same period of 2006. EBITDA as a percent of net sales increased to
8.7% in the current year quarter compared to 5.1% in the prior year quarter. The foregoing factors
discussed in the net sales and cost of sales sections are the reasons for these changes. The
largest cause of the increase in EBITDA as a percentage of net sales was lower paper costs due to
the elimination of purchases of recycled parent rolls.

ITEM 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk
Our market risks relate primarily to changes in interest rates. Our revolving line of credit and
our term loans 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. Under the
terms of our re-financed credit agreement, which closed on April 9, 2007, we have borrowings
totaling $29.1 million that carry a variable interest rate. Outstanding balances under our line of
credit and term loans 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 $291,000 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 March 31, 2007.
ITEM 4T. Controls and Procedures
