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 Company’s 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.
For income statement purposes, the Company reclassified certain expenses from selling, general and administrative expenses to cost of sales at year-end 2007. The income statements for the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 2007 have been restated to conform to the revised classification.
Note 2 – Commitments and Contingencies
On August 1, 2007, the Company received a new water discharge permit that requires the Company to expand its existing pre-treatment facility to reduce biological oxygen demand and total suspended solids from its discharge water. Under the permit, the Company is required to complete the expansion and make operational its pre-treatment facility by August 1, 2009. The project is in the pre-engineering phase and is expected to cost approximately $3 million. The cost of this facility is expected to be financed through a construction loan from the Company’s bank lenders. As of June 30, 2008, there were no amounts outstanding under this loan. This loan was included in the bank debt refinancing that closed in April 2007.
In March 2008, the Company announced that its board of directors had approved a capital expenditure of $4.75 million to automate certain processes in its converting operation. The project will involve the purchase of case packers, conveyors and case unitizing equipment and should be operational by the fourth quarter of 2008. Committed capital expenditures not yet paid for in connection with this project totaled approximately $1.6 million at June 30, 2008.

Note 4 – 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’s compensation committee. The Plan authorized up to 697,500 shares to be issued. In May 2008, the shareholders approved increasing the number of authorized shares under the Plan from 697,500 to 897,500. The compensation committee in April 2005 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. All share and per share amounts have been adjusted for the 3-for-2 stock split that was effected in July 2006. During the third quarter of 2007, unvested options for 93,000 shares were forfeited by Michael Sage, the Company’s former President and CEO who retired effective July 15, 2007. Mr. Sage exercised his vested options covering 139,500 shares in October 2007. Options for 225,000 shares were granted effective August 20, 2007, to Robert Snyder, the Company’s President and CEO, at an exercise price of $6.81, the market price on the date of the grant. The options vest 20% on the date of grant and then ratably 20% over the following four years and have a ten-year term.
The following table details the options granted to certain members of the board of directors and management during the six months ended June 30, 2007 and 2008.
                         
Grant   Number   Exercise   Risk-Free   Estimated   Dividend   Expected
Date   of Shares   Price   Interest Rate   Volatility   Yield   Life
Feb-07
    3,750   $8.58   4.83%   40%   None   5 years
Jun-07   28,750   $5.18   5.09%   38%   None   5 years
May-08   28,750   $7.48   3.78%   41%   None   5 years
Jun-08   20,000   $7.80   3.98%   40%   None   5 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

Table of Contents

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 award. The Company recognized an expense of $154,000 and $109,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively, related to options granted under the Plan. The Company recognized an expense of $205,000 and $169,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively, related to options granted under the Plan.
Note 5 – Major Customers and Concentration of Credit Risk
Credit risk for the Company is concentrated in four significant customers. Three are converted product customers, each of whom operates discount retail stores located throughout the United States and one customer who accounts for most of the Company’s third party sales of parent rolls. During the three months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007, sales to the four significant customers accounted for approximately 69% and 68% of the Company’s total sales, respectively. For the six months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007, sales to the four significant customers accounted for approximately 67% and 68% of the Company’s total sales, respectively. At June 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively, approximately $5.2 million (74%) and $4.5 million (69%) of accounts receivable was due from these four 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 6 – New Accounting Standards
The Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) periodically issues new accounting standards in a continuing effort to improve standards of financial accounting and reporting. We have reviewed the recently issued pronouncements and concluded that the following new accounting standards could be applicable to the Company.
In December 2007, the FASB revised SFAS No. 141 “Business Combinations” to clarify certain issues regarding business combinations. The major impact on the Company would be the requirement to write-off certain costs of completing an acquisition as incurred. The standard is effective for periods beginning after December 15, 2008.
Also in December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 160 “Non-controlling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements.” At present this standard would not apply to the Company as it has no related entities which qualify for consolidation. The standard is effective for minority interest accounting for periods beginning after December 15, 2008.

ITEM 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
Forward-Looking Information
The following Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations contains forward-looking statements. These statements relate to, among other things:
  our business strategy;
 
  the market opportunity for our products, including expected demand for our products;
 
  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” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2007, as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, 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 converted product revenues are attributable to three large customers which may decrease or cease purchases at any time;
 
  the disruption in supply or cost of waste paper;
 
  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;
 
  our exposure to variable interest rates;
 
  the loss of key personnel;
 
  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; 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 Management’s 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 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 operations; and
 
  energy costs.
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. 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. In the second quarter of 2007,

-10-


Table of Contents

due to the relatively high price of parent rolls, we began running all of our older machines on a full-time basis. The capacity of the new machine, in addition to the capacity of our older machines, increased our total production capacity to approximately 54,000 tons per year. Our strategy is to sell all of our parent roll capacity as converted products which have higher margins than parent rolls. We are focusing considerable efforts to improve our converting efficiencies in order to achieve that goal. Parent rolls are a commodity product and thus are subject to market pricing. We plan to continue to sell any excess parent roll capacity on the open market as long as market pricing is profitable. 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 1,700, 7,000 and 12,000 tons of paper on the open market in the years 2007, 2006 and 2005, respectively, to supplement our paper-making capacity.

Net sales increased 21%, to $22.3 million in the quarter ended June 30, 2008, compared to $18.5 million in the same period of 2007. Net sales figures include gross selling price, including freight, less discounts and pricing allowances. The increase in net sales is primarily the result of a 14% increase in the net selling price per ton of converted product shipments, a more than two-fold increase in the shipment of parent rolls and, to a lesser extent, a 23% increase in the selling price of parent rolls. Total shipments in the 2008 quarter increased by 1,410 tons, or 11%, to 14,226 tons compared to 12,816 tons in the same period of 2007, primarily due to higher levels of parent roll shipments, which was attributable to the increased production provided by our paper mill. Shipments of converted product decreased 6% in the second quarter of 2008 compared to the prior year quarter due to product content reduction actions taken during 2007 and 2008 to counteract increased raw material and energy costs. Our overall net selling price per ton increased by 9% in the second quarter of 2008 compared to the prior year quarter. This increase was attributable to higher prices for converted products, which was partly offset by the increased sales of parent rolls, which are sold at lower prices than converted products. The primary reason for the higher selling price per ton for converted products was the product content reduction actions.

Major components of cost of sales are the cost of internally produced paper, 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 $3.4 million, or 22%, to $19.2 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2008, compared to $15.8 million in the same period of 2007. As a percentage of net sales, cost of sales increased to 86% from 85% of net sales. The increase in cost of sales as a percentage of net sales in the quarter ended June 30, 2008 was primarily attributed to higher paper production costs and to a lesser extent, higher converting production costs, being partially offset by higher selling prices and higher tonnage volumes.
Our overall cost of paper in the second quarter of 2008 was $814 per ton, an increase of $79 per ton compared to the same period in 2007. Our cost per ton increased primarily due to increased waste paper prices and the higher cost of natural gas being partially offset by the effects of higher production levels on fixed and semi-variable costs. The prices we paid for waste paper increased approximately 17% in the second quarter of 2008 compared with the same period in 2007, resulting in an increased cost of waste paper consumed of approximately $780,000, as an overall tight waste paper market resulted in significant price increases across all grades of waste paper. The rates paid for natural gas increased approximately 43% in the second quarter of 2008 compared to the prices paid in the same quarter of 2007, resulting in increased costs of approximately $400,000. Converting production costs increased primarily due to higher maintenance and repair-related costs, increased salaried overhead and outside warehousing expenses.
Gross Profit
Gross profit in the quarter ended June 30, 2008 increased $369,000, or 13%, to $3.1 million compared to $2.8 million in the same period last year. Gross profit as a percentage of net sales in the 2008 quarter was 14.0% compared to 14.9% in the 2007 quarter. The effect of higher paper costs and higher converting production costs and, to a lesser extent, the effect of the lower gross profit margin percentage realized on parent roll sales as compared to converted product sales which were partly offset by higher selling prices and higher tonnage volumes were the major reasons for the decrease in gross profit as a percentage of net sales.

Interest expense decreased $388,000 to $320,000 in the quarter ended June 30, 2008, compared to $708,000 in the quarter ended June 30, 2007. Lower LIBOR interest rates and, to a lesser extent, reduced margins over LIBOR reflecting improved performance under our debt covenants, the absence of interest on our 12% subordinated debentures totaling $2.15 million principal amount, which were retired in December, 2007 and lower average bank borrowings all contributed to the decrease.
Income Before Income Taxes
As a result of the foregoing factors, income before income taxes increased $434,000 to $1.3 million in the quarter ended June 30, 2008 compared to $882,000 in the same period in 2007.
Income Tax Provision
For the quarter ended June 30, 2008, our effective income tax rate was 33%. It is lower than the statutory rate because of Oklahoma Investment Tax Credits associated with our investment in a new paper machine. This factor was partially offset by state income taxes. As of June 30, 2007, our annual effective income tax rate was 16%. The 2007 effective tax rate was lower than the

-13-

statutory rate because of the Oklahoma Investment Tax Credits cited above, the utilization of Federal Indian Employment Credits and the recognition of deferred tax benefits associated with non-qualified option grants to our directors and officers, including a true-up. The second quarter of 2008 does not reflect any benefit for the Indian Employment Tax Credit because the credit expired as of December 31, 2007 and as of the date of this filing it has not been extended.
No current taxes are owed to either state or federal taxing authorities because of net operating loss carryforwards for both state and federal tax purposes, Federal Indian Employment Credit carryforwards and Oklahoma Investment Tax Credit carryforwards.

Net sales figures include gross selling price, including freight, less discounts and pricing allowances. The increase in net sales is primarily the result of a 12% increase in the net selling price per ton of converted product shipments, a more than two-fold increase in the shipment of parent rolls and, to a lesser extent, a 22% increase in the selling price of parent rolls. Total shipments in the 2008 six-month period increased by 3,211 tons, or 13%, to 27,188 tons compared to 23,977 tons in the same period of 2007, primarily due to higher levels of parent roll shipments, which was attributable to the increased production provided by our paper mill. Our overall net selling price per ton increased by 7% in the first six months of 2008 compared to the comparable prior year period. This increase was attributable to higher prices for converted products, primarily due to product content reduction actions taken during 2007 and 2008 to counteract increased raw material and energy costs which was partly offset by the increased sales of parent rolls, which are sold at lower prices than converted products.

Major components of cost of sales are the cost of internally produced paper, 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 $6.1 million, or 20%, to $36.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2008, compared to $30.7 million in the same period of 2007. As a percentage of net sales, cost of sales decreased to 86% from 87% of net sales in the comparable six-month periods ended June 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively. The slight decrease in cost of sales as a percentage of net sales in the six months ended June 30, 2008 was primarily attributed to higher selling prices and higher tonnage volumes being largely offset by higher paper production costs, higher converting production costs and, to a lesser extent, the downtime experienced in the first quarter of 2008 on our new paper machine.
In the six months ended June 30, 2008, our overall cost of paper was $814 per ton, an increase of $58 per ton when compared to the same period in 2007. Our cost per ton increased primarily due to increased waste paper prices and, to a lesser extent, increased prices in the cost of natural gas being partially offset by the effects of higher production on fixed and semi-variable costs. The prices paid for waste paper increased approximately 19% in the six-month period of 2008 compared to the same period in 2007, resulting in an increased cost of waste paper of approximately $1.6 million. Natural gas prices increased approximately 20% in the 2008 period compared to the same period of 2007, resulting in increased natural gas costs of approximately $450,000. Converting production costs increased primarily in the areas of repair and maintenance, general operating supplies, salaried overhead, and outside warehousing. The down time experienced on our new paper machine in January 2008, totaled approximately three days of lost production time in order to effect repairs. The unplanned shutdown was required to correct certain issues with the surface of the yankee dryer and resulted in approximately $200,000 of increased production costs.
Gross Profit
Gross profit in the six months ended June 30, 2008 increased $1.3 million, or 30%, to $5.8 million compared to $4.5 million in the same period last year. Gross profit as a percentage of net sales in the six-month period ended June 30, 2008 was 13.6% compared to 12.8% in the same period in 2007. The effect of higher selling prices and higher tonnage volumes, which were

partly offset by higher production costs for paper and converted product and, to a lesser extent, the lower gross profit margins realized on the increased parent roll sales when compared to margins realized on converted product sales were the major reasons for the increase in gross profit as a percentage of net sales.
The previously discussed unplanned shutdown of our new paper machine negatively affected gross profit by approximately $330,000 due to lost production and certain related out of pocket expenses.

Interest expense decreased by $850,000 from $1.6 million in the six months ended June 30, 2007 to $731,000 in the same period in 2008. The decrease was attributable to lower average outstanding bank borrowings, lower LIBOR interest rates and, to a lesser extent, reduced margins over LIBOR reflecting the terms of our amended and restated credit agreement with the banks entered into in April 2007 and improved financial performance under our debt covenants since that time and the absence of interest on our subordinated debentures, which we retired in December 2007.

Table of Contents

Other income decreased from $27,000 in the first six months of 2007 to $6,000 in the first six months of 2008, primarily due to the absence of interest on the restricted certificate of deposit which was released in connection with the closing of our credit facility.
Income Before Income Taxes
As a result of the foregoing factors, income before income taxes increased $1.5 million to $2.2 million in the six months ended June 30, 2008 compared to $702,000 in the same period in 2007.
Income Tax Provision
For the six months ended June 30, 2008, our effective income tax rate was 32%. It is lower than the statutory rate because of Oklahoma Investment Tax Credits associated with our investment in a new paper machine. This factor was partially offset by state income taxes. As of June 30, 2007, our effective income tax rate was 13%. The 2007 effective tax rate was lower than the statutory rate because of the Oklahoma Investment Tax Credits cited above, the utilization of Federal Indian Employment Credits and the recognition of deferred tax benefits associated with non-qualified option grants to our directors and officers, including a true-up. The first six months of 2008 do not reflect any benefit for the Indian Employment Tax Credit because the credit expired as of December 31, 2007 and as of the date of this filing it has not been extended.
No current taxes are owing to either state or federal taxing authorities because of net operating loss carryforwards for both state and federal tax purposes, Federal Indian Employment Credit carryforwards and Oklahoma Investment Tax Credit carryforwards.
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 unused borrowing capacity under our revolving credit facility. Our cash requirements have historically been satisfied through a combination of cash flows from operations and debt financings.
Cash increased in the six months ended June 30, 2008 by $258,000 to $261,000. Cash was essentially unchanged at $4,000 in the six months ended June 30, 2007.
The following table summarizes key cash flow information for the six-month periods ended June 30, 2008 and 2007:

Cash flow provided by operating activities was $3.7 million in the six-month period ended June 30, 2008, which primarily resulted from earnings before non-cash charges, higher accounts payable and accrued expenses, partly offset by increased trade receivables and inventories.
Cash flows used in investing activities were $2.7 million in the first six months of 2008 as the result of expenditures on capital projects, primarily the previously announced $4.75 million project to automate certain operations in our converting plant.
Cash used in financing activities was $712,000 in the six-month period ended June 30, 2008 and was primarily attributable to $1.0 million of principal payments on our term loans, which were partially offset by $318,000 of borrowings under the revolving credit agreement.
Cash flow provided by operating activities was $1.9 million in the six-month period ended June 30, 2007, which primarily consisted of earnings before non-cash charges and an increase in accounts payable and accrued liabilities, which was partially offset by an increase in accounts receivable reflecting increased sales in the second quarter.
Cash flows from investing activities were $1.3 million in the six-month period ended June 30, 2007, reflecting the release of the $1.5 million restricted certificate of deposit in connection with the re-financing of the Company’s credit facility. Several maintenance capital expenditure projects were partly offsetting.
Cash used in financing activities was $3.2 million in the six-month period ended June 30, 2007 and was primarily attributable to a net reduction in the revolving credit balance reflecting, in part, the application of the $1.5 million restricted certificate of deposit and repayments of principal on our term loans, partly offset by net additional term loan borrowings in connection with the re-financing of the Company’s bank debt in April 2007. The effect of these incremental term loan borrowings was to reduce the revolving credit balance.
On April 9, 2007, we closed the re-financing of our credit facility with our existing bank group. On March 6, 2008, we amended the facility to increase the revolving credit facility and the 2008 capital expenditures limit. Following the amendment, the credit facility consists of the following:
  a $8.0 million revolving credit facility with a three-year term; ($1.11 million outstanding at June 30, 2008). The borrowing base for the revolving credit facility is determined by adding qualified receivables and inventory. At June 30, 2008, the borrowing base for the revolving credit facility was $6.9 million;
 
  a $10.0 million term loan A with a ten-year term that has no principal repayments for the first 24 months of the loan and then will be amortized as if the loan had an 18-year life ($10.0 million outstanding at June 30, 2008);
 
  a $16.5 million term loan B with a four-year term that is being amortized as if the loan had a six-year life ($13.8 million outstanding at June 30, 2008); and
 
  a $3.0 million capital expenditures facility with a four-year term that will be amortized as if the loan had a five-year life ($0 outstanding at June 30, 2008).
Under the terms of the credit agreement, amounts outstanding under the revolving credit facility bear interest at our election at the prime rate or LIBOR plus a margin and amounts outstanding under term loans A and B and the capital expenditures facility bear interest at LIBOR plus a

-18-


Table of Contents

margin. The margin is set quarterly and based on the ratio of funded debt to EBITDA less income taxes paid. Amounts outstanding under term loan A 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 prime rate loans and 200 to 375 basis points for LIBOR-based loans. For term loan B, the margin ranges from 200 basis points to 300 basis points over LIBOR. For the capital expenditures facility, which we expect to utilize in conjunction with the construction of our new environmental pre-treatment facility by August 1, 2009, the margin ranges from 150 basis points to 250 basis points over LIBOR. At June 30, 2008, our weighted average borrowing rate was 4.70% under this credit agreement as compared to 7.95% at June 30, 2007 and 9.28% as of April 8, 2007 under the predecessor credit facility.
The credit agreement contains covenants that, among other things, require us to maintain a specific funded debt to EBITDA ratio, debt service coverage ratio and an annual limit on un-financed capital expenditures. In connection with the re-financing, the $1.5 million restricted certificate of deposit was released and applied to the revolving credit facility. 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 $8.0 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 non-financed capital expenditures. The maximum allowable funded debt to EBITDA ratio is 4.0-to-1.0 and the minimum allowable debt service coverage ratio is 1.25-to-1.0. Our annual expenditures for non-financed capital equipment are limited to $6.25 million for fiscal year 2008 and $1.5 million per fiscal year thereafter.
The capital expenditures facility is intended to fund an expansion of our wastewater pre-treatment facilities. A new water discharge permit was issued effective August 1, 2007 which requires us to expand our existing pre-treatment facility to reduce biological oxygen demand and total suspended solids from our discharge water. Under the new permit, we are required to complete the expansion and make operational our pre-treatment facility by August 1, 2009. The project is in the pre-engineering phase and is expected to cost approximately $3 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.
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:

-19-


Table of Contents

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 customer’s creditworthiness as determined by our review of their current credit information. We continuously monitor collections and payments from our customers and maintain an allowance 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 management’s expectations and the allowance provided, there can be no assurance that we will continue to experience the same credit loss rates as in the past. During the six-month periods ended June 30, 2008 and 2007, provisions for doubtful accounts were recognized in the amount of $30,000 for each period. In addition, $3,000 of recoveries of accounts previously written off were credited to the allowance during the first six months of 2008. There were no recoveries credited during the first six months of 2007. One accounts receivable balance of $3,000 was written off in the six-month period ended June 30, 2008 and nothing was written off in the first six months of 2007.
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 first six months of 2008, $55,000 was provided and there were charges totaling $74,000 against the valuation reserve. The charges against the reserve were primarily the result of the product content changes made or in the process of being made to our converted products and the resultant effect on certain raw materials, primarily poly wrapping material, used in the converting process. During the first six months of 2007, $30,000 was provided and there were no charges against the reserve.
New Accounting Pronouncements
The Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) periodically issues new accounting standards in a continuing effort to improve standards of financial accounting and reporting. We have reviewed the recently issued pronouncements and concluded that the following new accounting standards could be applicable to us.
In December 2007, the FASB revised SFAS No. 141 “Business Combinations” to clarify certain issues regarding business combinations. The major impact on Orchids would be the requirement to write-off certain costs of completing an acquisition as incurred. The standard is effective for periods beginning after December 15, 2008.
Also in December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 160 “Non-controlling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements.” At present this standard would not apply to Orchids as we have no related entities which qualify for consolidation. The standard is effective for minority interest accounting for periods beginning after December 15, 2008.
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

-20-


Table of Contents

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.
The following table reconciles EBITDA to net income for the three months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007:

discussed in the net sales, cost of sales and selling, general and administrative expenses are the reasons for the decline.
The following table reconciles EBITDA to net income for the six months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007:

EBITDA
  $ 4,467     $ 3,781  
% of net sales
    10.5 %     10.8 %
EBITDA increased $686,000 to $4.5 million in the six months ended June 30, 2008, compared to $3.8 million in the same period of 2007. EBITDA as a percent of net sales declined to 10.5% in the current six-month period from 10.8% in the prior year six-month period. The foregoing factors discussed in the net sales, cost of sales and selling, general and administrative 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 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. As of June 30, 2008, we have borrowings totaling $24.9 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 or a fixed margin over LIBOR. Based on the borrowings on June 30, 2008, a 100 basis point change in interest rates would result in a $249,000 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 our 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 our chief financial officer have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of June 30, 2008.
There were no changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Exchange Act) during the quarter ended June 30, 2008, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
