Business of the Company

   

The Company operates an integrated forest products business. The performance of each segment is evaluated by the management of the Company against short-term and long-term financial objectives as well as environmental, safety and other key criteria. During the December 2010 quarter, the Company reorganized its internal reporting structure. Prior to the changes, the Company had reported its financial results based on five reportable segments: Forest Products, Pulp, Paper, Chemicals, and Corporate. The Pulp segment included six pulp mills. Subsequent to the organizational changes, the Pulp segment has been divided into two segments: Dissolving and Chemical Pulp and High-Yield Pulp. Each segment includes three pulp mills. As well, the Chemicals segment is now part of the Dissolving and Chemical Pulp segment. A significant portion of chemical product sales are related to by -products generated by the two dissolving pulp mills. The Forest Products, Paper and Corporate segments were unaffected by the organizational changes. The Forest Products segment consists primarily of forest and sawmill operations, which produce lumber and building materials. The Dissolving and Chemical Pulp segment consists primarily of manufacturing and marketing activities of dissolving and chemical pulps including the transformation and sale of resins and pulp by-products. The High-Yield Pulp segment includes the manufacturing and marketing activities of high-yield pulps. The Paper segment consists primarily of production and sales of coated bleached board and newsprint. Intersegment transfers of wood chips, pulp and other services are recorded at transfer prices agreed to by the parties, which are intended to approximate fair market value. The accounting policies used in these business segments are the same as those described in the annual audited consolidated financial statements. Comparative prior period segment information has been restated to conform with the new segment presentation.

   
2.

Significant accounting policies

   

These interim consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with Canadian Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP), which require management to make assumptions and estimates that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates. These interim consolidated financial statements do not include all disclosures required under Canadian GAAP for annual financial statements and, accordingly, should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto included in the Company’s latest annual consolidated financial statements. The same accounting policies as described in the Company’s latest annual consolidated financial statements have been used.

Operating bank loans

   

On March 4, 2011, the Company entered into a new $200 million asset-based revolving five-year working capital facility expiring in February 2016. The new facility effectively replaces the prior $205 million revolving working capital facility due to expire in December 2011. The new facility has a first priority charge over the receivables and inventories of the Company’s Canadian operations. As at September 24, 2011, the amount available and unused, based on eligible receivables and inventories, was $140 million of which $34 million was reserved for letters of credit. Interest is calculated based either on the BA Rate, the LIBOR, the Canadian Prime Rate or the U.S. Base Rate, as the case may be, plus an applicable margin.

   

The French operations are supported by “receivable factoring” agreements. As such, the borrowing base fluctuates periodically, depending on shipments and cash receipts. As at September 24, 2011, the amount available was $18 million net of borrowings of $6 million.

On August 17, 2010, the Company completed a private offering of US $255 million in aggregate principal amount of 11.25% senior secured notes (the “Notes”) due December 15, 2018. The notes are senior obligations secured by a first priority lien on certain of the property and assets of the Company and the guarantors of the notes, other than receivables, inventory and certain intangibles upon which the note holders have a second priority lien. The notes are guaranteed by the Company and certain of its subsidiaries. The proceeds from the offering, together with cash on hand, were used to permanently repay all outstanding indebtedness under the previous US $300 million term loan facility, to pay prepayment premiums in connection therewith and to pay fees and expenses related to the offering.

The Company entered into a registration rights agreement with the initial purchasers pursuant to which they have agreed to use commercially reasonable efforts to register with the SEC new notes having substantially identical terms as the Notes. The exchange offer and the registration of the new notes with the SEC were completed on March 31, 2011.

Share-based compensation

     
 

Under the prior Long-Term Incentive Plan, the Company had, from time to time, granted options to its employees. The plan provided for the issuance of common shares at an exercise price equal to the market price of the Company’s common shares on the date of the grant. These options vest over a five-year period and expire ten years from the date of issue.

     
 

The following table summarizes the changes in options outstanding and the impact on weighted average per share exercise price during the period:

Other items (continued)

   

2011 (continued)

   

During the June 2011 quarter, the Company announced that its non-operating U.S. subsidiary, Tembec USA LLC, had filed a petition seeking relief under Chapter 7 of the Bankruptcy Code of the United States. As a result of the filing, the Company determined that it no longer exercised control over this investment. The Company recorded a gain of $8 million relating to the deconsolidation of this subsidiary, arising primarily from the reduction in its consolidated accrued benefit obligation.

   

During the March 2011 quarter, the Company announced the permanent closure of the Taschereau, Quebec sawmill. The facility had been idled since October 2009. The Company recorded a charge of $3 million relating to severance and other items.

   

During the March 2011 quarter, the Company recorded a charge of $1 million for severance relating to the Cranbrook, British Columbia planer mill operation. The mill has been indefinitely idled since November 2007.

   

2010

   

During the September 2010 quarter, the Company incurred a net charge of $7 million relating to the permanent closure of its newsprint mill located in Pine Falls, Manitoba. The write-down of assets for $13 million and the accrual for severances and other for $10 million were partially offset by the recognition of a curtailment gain in employee future benefits totalling $16 million.

   

On May 7, 2010, the Company finalized the sale of the kraft pulp mills located in Tarascon and Saint-Gaudens, France to Paper Excellence B.V. and recorded a pre-tax gain of $12 million ($16 million after-tax). Proceeds amounted to 66 million euros ($88 million) for the shares. Total proceeds of $88 million were reduced by $2 million for cash balance left in the two mills. Approximately $6 million of this amount will be held in escrow with the Company’s counsel until May 2012 (changed from May 2011 under the terms of the escrow agreement) to secure certain undertakings made by the Company. Paper Excellence B.V. also assumed 31 million euros ($41 million) of debt.

   

As a result of an order issued by the Ontario Ministry of the Environment, the Company has had to undertake the removal of black liquor from storage tanks and pipelines of the bankrupt Marathon, Ontario pulp facility. Costs for the September, June and March 2010 quarters amounted to $2 million, $2 million, and $3 million respectively.

   

In April 2009, the Company sold the St. Francisville, Louisiana, coated paper mill facility and related equipment to West Feliciana Acquisition, LLC (WFA). The paper mill had been idle since July 2007. A portion of the consideration received by the Company included two US $5 million interest bearing notes. Principal payments on the notes were due on various dates beginning in March 2011 and ending in March 2016. On January 17, 2010, WFA filed for relief under Chapter 11 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code. It was unlikely that the Company would recover any portion of the interest- bearing notes and, as a result, a charge of $12 million relating to these notes was recorded during the March 2010 quarter. During the June 2010 quarter, the Company recorded a charge of $1 million relating to pension and healthcare benefits, which the Company has continued to incur following the sale.

   

During the March 2010 quarter, the Company completed the sale of a number of land properties and recorded a gain of $1 million.

   

During the December 2009 quarter, the Company completed the sale of a number of land properties and recorded a gain of $1 million.

      Sept. 24,     Sept. 25,  
      2011     2010  
  Carrying value $  289   $  288

Loans and receivables

$  206   $  236  
 

Cash, cash equivalents and cash held in trust

Capital management

   

It is the Company’s objective to manage its capital to ensure adequate capital resources exist to support operations while maintaining its business growth. The Company sets the amount of capital in proportion to risk. The Company manages the capital structure and makes adjustments to it in light of changes in economic conditions and the risk of characteristics of the underlying assets.

   

The Company monitors capital on the basis of net debt to total capitalization ratio. Net debt is calculated as a total debt (long-term debt plus bank indebtedness/operating lines) less cash, cash equivalents, and cash held in trust. Total capitalization includes net debt plus future income taxes, other long- term liabilities and credits, and shareholders’ equity.

Capital management (continued)

   

The Company’s strategy is to maintain the net debt to total capitalization ratio at 40% or less. The objective is to keep a strong balance sheet and maintain the ability of the Company to access capital markets at favourable rates. The net debt to total capitalization ratio for the Company as at September 24, 2011 and September 25, 2010, were at 27% and 28%, respectively.

Supplemental condensed consolidating financial information

   

The following condensed consolidating financial information has been included in these consolidated financial statements in compliance with National Instrument 51-102 – Continuous Disclosure Obligations under Canadian securities laws.

   

The senior secured notes (the “Notes”) of Tembec Industries Inc. (the "Subsidiary Issuer") are fully and unconditionally guaranteed on a joint and several basis by Tembec Inc. (the "Parent Company") and most of the Subsidiary Issuer’s subsidiaries located in Canada (the “Guarantor Subsidiaries”). The Subsidiary Issuer and each of the Guarantor Subsidiaries are 100% owned by the Parent Company. The Notes are not guaranteed by the Company’s other subsidiaries (the “Other Subsidiaries”).

   

The following supplemental condensed consolidating financial information sets forth, on an unconsolidated basis, the balance sheets as at September 24, 2011 and September 25, 2010, and the statements of operations and cash flows for the years ended September 24, 2011 and September 25, 2010, for the Parent Company and for the Subsidiary Issuer. It also provides the same information on a combined basis for the Guarantor Subsidiaries and the Other Subsidiaries.

   

The supplemental condensed consolidating financial information, which has been prepared in accordance with Canadian GAAP, reflects the investments of the Parent Company in the Subsidiary Issuer using the equity method. Investments of the Subsidiary Issuer in the Guarantor Subsidiaries and Other Subsidiaries are also accounted for using this method.
