UNAUDITED PRO FORMA COMBINED FINANCIAL INFORMATION

 

The following unaudited pro forma combined financial information has been prepared to give effect to the acquisition of certain assets and assumption of certain liabilities from Atlantic Paper & Foil Corp. of N.Y., Atlantic Lakeside Properties, LLC, Atlantic Paper & Foil LLC, Atlantic Paper & Foil of Georgia, LLC and Consumer Licensing Corporation (collectively the “Sellers” or “APF”) by Cellu Tissue Holdings, Inc. (“Cellu Tissue”) and the related financing activities.

 

On July 2, 2008, Cellu Tissue, through two newly created, wholly-owned subsidiaries, Cellu Tissue - Hauppauge, LLC and Cellu Tissue – Thomaston, LLC, completed the acquisition of certain assets and assumption of certain liabilities of APF.  The aggregate purchase price paid was $68.0 million, including a cash payment at closing of $61.7 million and the issuance of a promissory note by Cellu Tissue to Atlantic Paper & Foil Corp. of N.Y. in the principal amount of $6.3 million.  The purchase price is subject to a post-closing working capital adjustment and acquisition-related closing expenses of approximately $2.0 million were incurred.  Cellu Tissue also incurred financing related costs of approximately $.8 million.

 

The acquisition has been accounted for as a purchase business combination in accordance with Financial Accounting Standard No. 141, Business Combinations.  The unaudited pro forma combined statement of financial position as of May 29, 2008 gives effect to the acquisition as if it had occurred on such balance sheet date.  The unaudited pro forma combined statement of financial position as of May 29, 2008 includes the balance sheets of Cellu Tissue and APF (adjusted to exclude the excluded assets and liabilities) as of May 29, 2008 and March 31, 2008, respectively.  The excluded assets and liabilities relate primarily to non-operating assets and liabilities including cash and cash equivalents, real estate (subsequently leased by Cellu Tissue), aircraft, long-term debt and shareholders’ loans payable and other liabilities with related parties.

 

The unaudited pro forma combined statement of operations for the three months ended May 29, 2008 and the fiscal year ended February 29, 2008 gives effect to the acquisition as if it had occurred on March 1, 2007.  The unaudited pro forma combined statement of operations presented for the three months ended May 29, 2008 includes historical financial results of Cellu Tissue and APF (adjusted to exclude the income and expense items related to the non-operating excluded assets and liabilities) for the three months ended May 29, 2008 and March 31, 2008, respectively.  The unaudited pro forma combined statement of operations for the fiscal year ended February 29, 2008 includes historical financial results of Cellu Tissue and APF(adjusted to exclude the income and expense items related to the non-operating excluded assets and liabilities) for the fiscal year ended February 29, 2008 and the year ended December 31, 2007, respectively.  The excluded income and expense items primarily relate to depreciation, aircraft related expenses, interest expense and with respect to the fiscal year ended December 31, 2007, the gain on sale of aircraft.  Any savings or additional costs, which may be realized

through the integration of the operations of APF with Cellu Tissue, have not been estimated or included in the unaudited pro forma combined statement of operations.

 

The unaudited pro forma financial information includes the adjustments that have a continuing impact to the combined company to reflect the transaction using purchase accounting.  The pro forma adjustments are described in the notes to the unaudited pro forma financial information.  The adjustments are based upon preliminary information and certain management judgments and estimates.  The purchase accounting adjustments are subject to revisions, which will be reflected in future periods.  Revisions, if any, are not expected to have a material effect on the statement of operations or financial position of the combined company.

 

The unaudited pro forma financial information and accompanying notes are presented for illustrative purposes only and do not purport to be indicative of, and should not be relied upon as indicative of, the financial position or operating results that may occur in the future or that would have occurred if the acquisition had been consummated on March 1, 2007.  The unaudited pro forma financial information should be read in conjunction with:
