In addition to the amended auditor’s report, we are including in this Amendment our consolidated balance sheets as of June 29, 2007 and June 30, 2006, the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders’ deficit and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended June 29, 2007 and the notes thereto, in each case as included in the Original Annual Report and without any changes.
     Except as described above, no other changes have been made to the Original Annual Report. This Amendment No. 1 continues to speak as of the date of the Original Annual Report, and we have not updated the disclosures contained therein to reflect any events which occurred at a date subsequent to the filing of the Original Annual Report. According, this Amendment No. 1 should be read in conjunction with the Original Annual Report.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
The Board of Directors
Tekni-Plex, Inc.
Somerville, New Jersey
     We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Tekni-Plex, Inc. and its subsidiaries (the “Company”) as of June 29, 2007 and June 30, 2006, and the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders’ deficit and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended June 29, 2007. These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits.
     We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
     In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Tekni-Plex, Inc. and its subsidiaries as of June 29, 2007 and June 30, 2006, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended June 29, 2007, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
     As discussed in Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company changed its method of accounting for defined benefit postretirement plans when it adopted SFAS No. 158, “Employers’ Accounting for Defined Benefit Pension and Other Postretirement Plans, an amendment to FASB Statements No. 87, 88, 106, and 132(R)” as of June 29, 2007.

1.   SUMMARY OF ACCOUNTING POLICIES
 
Nature of Business
 
Tekni-Plex, Inc. and its subsidiaries (“Tekni-Plex” or the “Company”) is a global, diversified manufacturer of packaging, packaging products, and materials as well as tubing products. The Company primarily serves the food, healthcare and consumer markets. The Company has built a leadership position in its core markets, and focuses on vertically integrated production of highly specialized products. The Company’s operations are aligned under three primary business groups: Packaging, Tubing Products, and Other.
 
Consolidation Policy
 
The consolidated financial statements include the financial statements of Tekni-Plex, Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiaries. All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.
 
Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Possible Losses
 
Accounts receivable are customer obligations due under normal trade terms. The Company sells its products primarily to large manufacturers, retailers, and pharmaceutical companies. The Company performs continuing credit evaluations of its customers’ financial condition and although the Company generally does not require collateral, letters of credit may be required from its customers in certain circumstances.
 
Pursuant to SFAS 140, Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishment of Liabilities, the Company sold most of its European accounts receivable for a fee to a third-party factoring Company in fiscal 2007. The third-party factoring Company assumes the full risk of collection without recourse to the Company in the event of a loss.
 
Management reviews accounts receivable on monthly basis to determine if any receivables will potentially be uncollectible. The Company includes any accounts receivable balances that are determined to be uncollectible, along with a general reserve, in its overall allowance for possible losses. After all attempts to collect a receivable have failed, the receivable is written off against the allowance. Based on the information available, the Company believes its allowance for possible losses as of June 29, 2007 is adequate. However, actual write-offs might exceed the recorded allowance.
 
Inventories
 
Inventories are stated at the lower of cost (weighted average) or market.
 
Property, Plant and Equipment
 
Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost. Depreciation and amortization are computed over the estimated useful lives of the assets primarily on the straight-line method for financial reporting purposes and by accelerated methods for income tax purposes. The costs of major additions and improvements are capitalized and maintenance and repairs that do not improve or extend the life of the respective assets are charged to operations as incurred.
 
Intangible Assets (other than goodwill)
 
The cost of acquiring certain patents, trademarks, and customer lists is amortized using the straight-line method over their estimated useful lives, ranging from 5 to 17 years.

TEKNI-PLEX, INC.
 
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)
 
Deferred Financing Costs
 
The Company amortizes deferred financing costs incurred in connection with the Company’s borrowings over the life of the related indebtedness utilizing the straight-line method, which approximates the interest method.
 
Income Taxes
 
Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are recognized for differences between the financial statement and income tax basis of assets and liabilities based upon statutory rates enacted for future periods. Valuation allowances are established when necessary to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized.
 
Revenue Recognition
 
The Company recognizes revenue when title and risk of loss has transferred to the customer which is when goods are shipped to customers. The Company provides for returned goods, discounts and volume rebates on an estimated basis based upon agreements and past experience.
 
Sales Allowances
 
The Company accounts for sales allowances, including volume rebates and advertising programs, on an accrued basis as a reduction in net revenue in the period in which the sales are recognized.
 
Shipping and Handling Costs
 
Shipping and handling costs are included in cost of sales.
 
Research and Development
 
Research and development expenditures for the Company’s projects are expensed as incurred.
 
Cash Equivalents
 
The Company considers all highly liquid instruments with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.
 
Fiscal Year-End
 
The Company utilizes a 52/53 week fiscal year ending on the Friday closest to June 30. The years ended June 29, 2007 and June 30, 2006 and July 1, 2005 each contained 52 weeks.
 
Reclassifications
 
Certain items in the prior year financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation.
 
Foreign Currency Translation
 
Assets and liabilities of international subsidiaries are translated at year-end exchange rates and related translation adjustments are reported as a component of accumulated other comprehensive (loss). The statement of operations accounts are translated at the average rates during the period.
 
Long-Lived Assets
 
Long-lived assets, including goodwill, are evaluated each fiscal year-end for impairment or when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the assets may not be recoverable through the

estimated undiscounted future cash flows from the use of these assets. When such impairments exist, the related assets will be written down to fair value based on the net present value of estimated future cash flows. The related charge is included in selling, general and administrative expenses in the Statement of Operations.
 
Environmental Liabilities
 
Accruals for environmental matters are recorded when it is probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount of the liability can be reasonably estimated, based on current law and existing technologies. These accruals are adjusted periodically as assessment and remediation efforts progress or as additional technical or legal information becomes available. Accruals for environmental liabilities are included in the consolidated balance sheets as “Other liabilities” at undiscounted amounts.
 
Use of Estimates
 
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
 
Comprehensive Loss
 
SFAS No. 130, “Reporting Comprehensive Income” requires foreign currency translation adjustments and certain other items, which were reported separately in stockholders’ deficit, to be included in Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (Loss). Included within Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income in 2007 are foreign currency translation adjustments and previously unrecognized actuarial gains and losses as a result of implementing SFAS No. 158, “Employers’ Accounting for Defined Benefit Pension and other Postretirement Plans”. Total comprehensive loss for the years ended June 29, 2007, June 30, 2006 and July 1, 2005 is included in the Statement of Stockholders’ deficit.
 
The components of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) includes:
 
                 
    June 29,
    June 30,
 
    2007     2006  
 
Cumulative translation adjustment
  $ 8,551     $ 6,311

Actuarial loss not yet recognized in cost (pension), net
    (6,578 )        
Actuarial loss not yet recognized in cost (postretirement), net
    (942 )        
                 
Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss)
  $ 1,031     $ (1,587 )
                 
 
Stock Based Compensation
 
The Company applies the provisions of SFAS No. 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation. Had compensation cost been determined based on the fair value at the grant dates for these awards consistent with the method of SFAS No. 123, the Company’s net loss would not have increased significantly. The calculations were based on a risk free interest rate of 5.3%, expected volatility of 100%, a dividend yield of zero, and expected lives of 10 years.
 
Derivative Instruments
 
All derivative instruments, such as interest rate swaps, are recognized in the financial statements and measured at their fair market value. Changes in the fair market value of derivative instruments are recognized each period in

current operations or stockholders’ equity (as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income/loss), depending on whether a derivative instrument qualifies as a hedge transaction.
 
In the normal course of business, Tekni-Plex is exposed to changes in interest rates. The objective in managing its exposure to interest rates is to decrease the volatility that changes in interest rates might have on operations and cash flows. To achieve this objective, Tekni-Plex uses interest rate swaps and caps to hedge a portion of total long-term debt that is subject to variable interest rates. These derivative contracts are considered to be a hedge against changes in the amount of future cash flows associated with the interest payments on variable-rate debt obligations, however, they do not qualify for hedge accounting. Accordingly, the interest rate swaps are reflected at fair value in the Consolidated Balance Sheet and the related gains or losses on these contracts are recorded as an unrealized gain or loss from derivative instruments in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. These are the only derivative instruments held by Tekni-Plex as of June 29, 2007. The fair value of derivative contracts are determined based on quoted market values obtained from a third party.
 
In June 2000, Tekni-Plex had $344,000 of term loans outstanding with variable rates of interest tied to LIBOR. These loans, which originally had maturity dates ranging from June 2007 through June 2008, have been repaid. Concurrent with incurring this debt, Tekni-Plex entered into a series of interest swap contracts to pay variable rates of interest based on a basket of LIBOR benchmarks and receive variable rates of interest based on a 3 month dollar LIBOR on an aggregate of $344,000 amount of indebtedness. The amortization schedule on the term loans was the same as the amortization schedule on the swaps. As of June 29, 2007 the notional amount of the swaps is $143,350.
 
Portfolio theory and empirical evidence suggested that the change in value of a basket of LIBOR benchmarks would be less volatile than the change in value of a single benchmark. Since 2000, this has generally been our experience.
 
In conjunction with its swap contracts Tekni-Plex also purchased an interest rate cap. Tekni-Plex believes the reduced volatility created by the interest rate swaps made the interest rate cap less expensive.
 
The aggregate fair market value of these interest rate swaps and cap contracts was $(736) and $(979) on June 29, 2007 and June 30, 2006 respectively, and is included in other liabilities on the Consolidated Balance Sheet. For the years ended June 29, 2007, June 30, 2006 and July 1, 2005, Tekni-Plex recognized unrealized gains of $243, $3,800 and $8,287, respectively.
 
Goodwill and Business Combinations
 
The Company no longer amortizes goodwill, but instead tests goodwill for impairment at least annually. This test is performed every year as of our fiscal year-end. In addition, the Company identified reporting units for the purposes of assessing potential future impairments of goodwill, and when necessary, reassesses the useful lives of other existing recognized intangible assets.
 
The Company completed its year-end analysis of goodwill and has concluded that there is no impairment charge as of June 29, 2007. In fiscal year 2006, we concluded our annual garden hose contract negotiations. While we were largely successful in securing our target price increases, we lost meaningful market share. With this information in mind, in the second quarter of fiscal 2006 we deemed it appropriate to retest the goodwill in our Tubing segment. Accordingly, we recorded a $35.1 million impairment charge against the goodwill associated with our Swan operations.
 
New Accounting Pronouncements
 
SFAS No. 158, Employers’ Accounting for Defined Benefit Pension and Other Postretirement Plans, an amendment of FASB Statements No. 87, 88, 106, and 132(R)
 
In September 2006, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 158, which requires the Company to (a) recognize in its statement of financial position the overfunded or underfunded status of


F-9


Table of Contents

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)
 
a defined benefit postretirement plan measured as the difference between the fair value of plan assets and the benefit obligation, (b) recognize as a component of other comprehensive income, net of tax, the actuarial gains and losses and the prior service costs and credits that arise during the period, (c) measure defined benefit plan assets and defined benefit plan obligations as of the date of the Company’s statement of financial position, and (d) disclose additional information about certain effects on net periodic benefit costs in the upcoming fiscal year that arise from the delayed recognition of the actuarial gains and losses and the prior service costs and credits. The Company’s adoption of SFAS No. 158 effective for fiscal year ended June 29, 2007 resulted in an adjustment of $7,898 to the opening balance of accumulated other comprehensive loss.
 
FIN No. 48, Accounting for Uncertain Tax Positions — An Interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109
 
In July 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued FASB interpretation (“FIN”) No. 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes- an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109.” FIN 48 clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an entity’s financial statements in accordance with FASB Statement No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes, and prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement disclosure of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. In addition, this interpretation provides guidance on derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure and transition. FIN 48 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006. The Company is currently evaluating the impact the adoption of FIN No. 48 may have on its statements of operations and financial position.
 
SFAS No. 157, Fair Value Measurements
 
In September 2006, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements” (“SFAS No. 157”), which defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. SFAS No. 157 applies under a number of other accounting pronouncements that require or permit fair value measurements. SFAS No. 157 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. The Company is currently evaluating the impact the adoption of SFAS No. 157 may have on its statements of operations and financial position.
 
SFAS No. 159, The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities Including an amendment of FASB Statement No. 115
 
The FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 159, “The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities Including an amendment of FASB Statement No. 115” (“SFAS No. 159”) in February 2007. SFAS No. 159 permits a company to choose to measure many financial instruments and other items at fair value that are not currently required to be measured at fair value. The objective is to improve financial reporting by providing a company with the opportunity to mitigate volatility in reported earnings caused by measuring related assets and liabilities differently without having to apply complex hedge accounting provisions. A company shall report unrealized gains and losses on items for which the fair value option has been elected in earnings at each subsequent reporting. SFAS 159 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. Early adoption is permitted as of the beginning of a fiscal year that begins on or before November 15, 2007, provided the Company also elects to apply the provisions of FASB Statement No. 157, Fair Value Measurements. The Company is currently evaluating the impact the adoption of SFAS No. 159 may have on its statements of operations and financial position.
 
2.   RECAPITALIZATION

(A)   SENIOR DEBT
 
In June 2005, we entered into a new asset based facility with Citicorp USA, Inc., as administrative agent, and the other agents and lenders named therein. Our asset based facility consists of a four-year, asset-based revolving credit facility in the maximum amount of $75,000. Availability under the asset based facility equals (i) the lesser of (A) the borrowing base (as defined in the new asset based facility) and (B) the then effective commitments under the new asset based facility minus (ii) such availability reserves as the administrative agent, in its sole discretion, deems appropriate.
 
The asset based facility includes a $25,000 letter of credit sub facility. As of September 21, 2007 we have $10.8 million of letters of credit outstanding related to workmen’s compensation insurance. Amounts borrowed under our new asset based facility will be used for general corporate and working capital purposes. The commitments under our asset based facility will terminate on the fourth anniversary of the closing date, at which time all loans outstanding under the new asset based facility will become due and payable.
 
Loans under the asset based facility are guaranteed by each of our domestic subsidiaries. Loans under the asset based facility are secured on a first priority basis by all of our domestic subsidiaries’ assets.
 
Loans under our asset based facility bear interest by reference to a base rate or a reserve adjusted Eurodollar rate, at our option, in each case, plus an applicable margin, as each such term is defined in the asset based facility.
 
In addition, the asset based facility includes a provision permitting, at our option, an increase in the aggregate amount of the asset based facility by up to an additional $60,000, subject to certain conditions. In fiscal 2006 we used $10,000 of this capacity to upsize our asset backed revolver from $65,000 to $75,000.
 
The asset based facility imposes certain restrictions on us and our subsidiaries. As part of these covenants, we are restricted or limited in our ability to, among other things:
 
  •  incur and voluntarily prepay certain of our and our subsidiaries’ debt;
 
  •  grant liens on our and our subsidiaries’ assets;


F-13


Table of Contents

 
TEKNI-PLEX, INC.
 
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)
 
 
  •  undertake certain mergers, consolidations and sales / purchases of assets;
 
  •  pay certain dividends or distributions and redeem, purchase, retire or make other acquisitions of our equity interests;
 
  •  make certain investments and acquisitions;
 
  •  transact with our affiliates; and
 
  •  make capital expenditures.
 
The asset based facility provides that certain events will constitute events of default under the new asset based facility. These events include, among other things;
 
  •  our failure to pay when due amounts owed under the asset based facility;
 
  •  our or our subsidiaries’ failure to observe or perform the covenants set forth in the asset based facility;
 
  •  the inaccuracy of the representations and warranties set forth in the asset based facility;
 
  •  the imposition of certain judgments against us or our subsidiaries;
 
  •  our or our subsidiaries’ failure to pay certain other of our or our subsidiaries’ debt;
 
  •  the acceleration of the maturity of material debt;
 
  •  the occurrence of certain bankruptcy or insolvency proceedings or events;
 
  •  the invalidity or unenforceability of any lien or guarantee securing our obligations under the asset based facility; and
 
  •  the occurrence of a change of control.
 
(B)   SENIOR SUBORDINATED NOTES
 
In June 2000 and May 2002, we respectively issued $275.0 million and $40.0 million aggregate principal amount of 123/4% senior subordinated notes due June 15, 2010. These notes are our senior subordinated unsecured obligations and are guaranteed by each of our existing and future domestic restricted subsidiaries with assets or stockholders’ equity in excess $25,000. The senior subordinated notes bear interest at an annual rate of 123/4%, payable semiannually on each June 15 and December 15.
 
The senior subordinated notes are subject to redemption, in whole or in part, at our option, at any time on or after June 15, 2005 at the redemption prices described below if redeemed during the twelve month period commencing June 15 in the years set forth below:
 
         
    Redemption
 
Period
  Price  
 
2007
    102.125 %
2008 and thereafter
    100.000 %
 
Holders of the senior subordinated notes have the option of requiring us to repurchase their notes in cash upon a change of control at a repurchase price equal to 101% of the principal amount of the notes plus accrued interest, if any, to the date of the repurchase.
 
The indenture governing the senior subordinated notes restricts our ability and the ability of our restricted subsidiaries to:
 
  •  incur additional indebtedness and issue preferred stock;
 
  •  pay dividends or make other distributions;


F-14


Table of Contents

 
TEKNI-PLEX, INC.
 
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)
 
 
  •  create liens;
 
  •  incur restrictions on the ability of our restricted subsidiaries to pay dividends or other payments to us;
 
  •  sell assets;
 
  •  merge or consolidate with other entities;
 
  •  enter into transactions with affiliates;
 
  •  issue capital stock of restricted subsidiaries; and
 
  •  effect acquisitions.
 
However, these limitations are subject to a variety of exceptions and qualifications.
 
The senior subordinated notes include customary events of default, including failure to pay principal and interest on the notes, a failure to comply with covenants, a failure by us or our subsidiaries to pay material judgments or indebtedness and bankruptcy and insolvency events with respect to us and our material subsidiaries.
 
In April, 2005, we received the consents required to amend certain covenants in the indenture governing our senior subordinated notes including our debt incurrence covenant. The amendments allow us, among other things, to incur incremental debt, not to exceed $90.0 million at any one time outstanding, in ratio of 1.5:1.0 for every dollar of equity received after April 1, 2005. Since that date, we have raised $37.2 million of additional equity through the issuance of our Series A redeemable preferred stock.
 
(C)   SENIOR SECURED NOTES DUE 2013
 
We issued $275,000 senior secured notes on November 21, 2003. Interest on those senior secured notes accrues at the rate of 83/4% per annum and is payable semi-annually in arrears on May 15 and November 15 of each year, beginning May 15, 2004. The 2013 Notes will mature on November 15, 2013.
 
We may redeem all or part of those senior secured notes on or after November 15, 2008. Prior to November 15, 2006, we may redeem up to 35% of the aggregate principal amount of the senior secured notes at a premium of 8.75% with the proceeds of certain equity offerings.
 
The senior secured notes are secured by second priority liens on the collateral securing our existing credit facility. The collateral includes, but is not limited to, the following property of us and the guarantors party to the indenture:
 
  •  all of the stock and equity interests of certain of our domestic subsidiaries and 65% of the capital stock and equity interests of certain of the our foreign subsidiaries;
 
  •  all accounts, inventory, general intangibles, equipment and insurance policies;
 
  •  all documents of title covering, evidencing or representing goods;
 
  •  all instruments and chattel paper;
 
  •  commercial tort claims;
 
  •  certain Company-owned real property;
 
  •  rights under certain railcar leases;

  •  all proceeds of, and all other profits, products, rents or receipts, arising from the collection, sale, lease, exchange, assignment, licensing or other disposition or realization upon the collateral described in (1) through (11) above.
 
Pursuant to a registration rights agreement that we and our subsidiary guarantors entered into in connection with our existing senior secured notes, we and our subsidiary guarantors have filed a registration agreement with the SEC relating to an offer to exchange or register the senior secured notes and guarantees for publicly tradable notes and guarantees having substantially identical terms. The registration statement has been declared effective by the SEC. As a result, we are no longer required to pay liquidated damages in an amount equal to 1.0% of the principal amount of the senior secured notes per annum.
 
(D)   SENIOR SECURED NOTES DUE 2012
 
We issued $150,000 senior secured notes on June 7, 2005. Interest on those senior secured notes accrues at the rate of 107/8% per annum and is payable semi-annually in arrears on August 15 and February 15 of each year, beginning February 15, 2006. The 2013 Notes will mature on August 15, 2012. The proceeds were used primarily to refinance existing bank debt.
 
We may redeem all or part of those senior secured notes on or after August 15, 2009. Prior to August 15, 2008, we may redeem up to 35% of the aggregate principal amount of the senior secured notes with the proceeds of certain equity offerings.
 
The senior secured notes are secured by second priority liens on the collateral securing our existing credit facility. The collateral includes, but is not limited to, the following property of us and the guarantors party to the indenture:
 
  •  all of the stock and equity interests of certain of our domestic subsidiaries and 65% of the capital stock and equity interests of certain of the our foreign subsidiaries;
 
  •  all accounts, inventory, general intangibles, equipment and insurance policies;
 
  •  all documents of title covering, evidencing or representing goods;
 
  •  all instruments and chattel paper;
 
  •  commercial tort claims;
 
  •  certain Company-owned real property;
 
  •  rights under certain railcar leases;
 
  •  patents, trademarks, copyrights and other intellectual property;
 
  •  all letter of credit rights;
 
  •  all supporting obligations;

(E)   SERIES A REDEEMABLE PREFERRED STOCK
 
On May 13, 2005 we issued 31,800 shares of Series A redeemable Preferred Stock for $1,000 per share. In July 2005 we issued an additional 5,423 shares at $1,000 per share. In addition, we issued 22,500 shares to certain investors in consideration for capital contributions made in 2004. In accordance with SFAS 150, the Series A redeemable preferred stock is being characterized as a liability. Dividends and accretion to maturity are classified as interest expense.
 
The following summary of certain provisions of our Series A Redeemable Preferred Stock does not purport to be complete and is subject to, and qualified in its entirety by, our Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation.
 
Liquidation Event.  Upon the occurrence of a sale of the Company or its subsidiaries, whether by merger, asset sale or change in equity control, or a liquidation of the Company, the Series A Preferred Stock shall be redeemed at an amount per share equal to (i) 115% of the purchase price of the Series A Preferred Stock prior to October 31, 2005, and (ii) three times the purchase price thereafter (such amount determined in (i) or (ii) hereinafter referred to as the “Liquidation Value”).
 
Mandatory Redemption.  Upon the earlier of (i) February 15, 2014 or (ii) to the extent such redemption is permitted under the Company’s new asset based facility, the payment in full of the Company’s senior subordinated notes and existing senior secured notes, the Series A Redeemable Preferred Stock shall be redeemed in full in cash at the price equal to 115% of the purchase price of the Series A Preferred Stock prior to October 31, 2005 and three times the purchase price thereafter.
 
Dividends.  From and after Trigger Event, the Series A Preferred Stock shall be entitled to receive out of any assets legally available cumulative dividends at a rate of 12% per annum, compounded quarterly, on the original purchase price. The dividends shall begin to accrue on the Trigger Event and shall be paid quarterly in arrears. However, if the Company is prevented from paying such dividends in cash for certain reasons, the dividend will accumulate at the rate of 12% per annum, compounded quarterly.
 
Trigger Event.  A Trigger Event shall mean:
 
(i) the failure of the Company to redeem any shares of the Series A Preferred Stock in cash when required to do so;
 
(ii) the failure by the Company or Dr. Smith, the Company’s CEO, to perform or observe any other covenant in the Series A Preferred Stock Purchase Agreement or any ancillary documents that is continued for more than sixty (60) days and that reasonably expected to have a material adverse effect on the Company or the holders of the Series A Preferred Stock;
 
(iii) any false or misleading representations or warranty by the Company in the Series A Preferred Stock Purchase Agreement that is reasonably expected to have a material adverse effect on the Company or the holders of the Series A Preferred Stock;
 
(iv) the failure by the Company or any Significant Subsidiary (as defined in Rule 1-02(w) of Regulation S-X) to make payments when due (which failure is continued beyond the cure period contained in the documents governing such payments or which has not been waived by the Lender): (A) of the principal amount of any indebtedness or other security (whether at maturity, upon a scheduled amortization date or any other

Voting Rights.  Holders of shares of Series A Preferred Stock will have no voting rights except as described below. In such case, each such holder shall be entitled to one vote for each share held.
 
The board of directors of the Company consists of six directors, one of whom shall be elected by the holders of the Series A Preferred Stock. After the occurrence of certain Trigger Events (as defined in the Company’s Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation) the Series A Preferred Stockholders shall have the right to increase the vote of the director elected by Series A Preferred Stockholders from one vote to six votes for all matters considered by the Company’s board of directors.
 
Protective Provisions.  As long as shares of Series A Preferred Stock are issued and outstanding, without first obtaining the approval of the Series A Preferred Stockholders, the Company Shall not, and shall not permit its subsidiaries to, either directly or indirectly, through a merger, consolidation or otherwise:
 
  •  Create, authorize or issue any securities of the Company or any significant subsidiary other than common stock or options to purchase common stock not to exceed 45.75206 shares of common stock and (ii) certain refinancing securities as defined in the Amended and Restated

Net Operating Losses
 
The Company and its U.S. subsidiaries file a consolidated tax return. The Company and its U.S. subsidiaries have net operating loss (“NOL”) carryforwards of approximately $308,000. These NOL’s expire at various dates from 2009 through 2026. Approximately $63,000 of the NOL’s are as a result of the acquisition of PureTec in 1997 (the “PureTec NOL’s”). The PureTec NOL’s are subject to the change of ownership annual limitation of approximately $5,600. As a result of this limitation the Company can utilize a maximum of $63,000 of PureTec NOL’s.
 
In addition to the domestic NOL balances, the Company has incurred losses relating to a subsidiary, taxable in Northern Ireland. Through fiscal 2006 losses aggregated $597 which have no expiration date.
 
The Company believes that it is more likely than not that this deferred tax asset will not be realized currenty and has recorded a full valuation allowance on these amounts.
 
No provision was made for U.S. or additional foreign taxes on undistributed earnings of foreign subsidiaries. Such earnings will continue to be reinvested but could become subject to additional tax if they were remitted as dividends, or were loaned to the Company or a U.S. affiliate, or if the Company should sell its stock in the foreign subsidiaries. It is not practicable to determine the amount of additional tax, if any, that might be payable on the undistributed foreign earnings.

9.   EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS
 
The following disclosures reflect the Company’s adoption of SFAS 158 effective for the fiscal year ended June 29, 2007:
 
(a)   Savings Plans
 
i. The Company maintains a discretionary 401(k) plan covering all eligible employees with at least one year of service.
 
The Company determines matching contributions to the plan each year, not to exceed 2% of the employee’s eligible compensation. Contributions for the fiscal years ended June 29, 2007, June 30, 2006 and July 1, 2005, amounted to $1,054, $1,105 and $1,081, respectively.
 
(b)   Pension Plans
 
Prior to January 1, 2007, the Company had three pension plans as follows:
 
i. The Burlington subsidiary had a noncontributory defined benefit pension plan that covered substantially all hourly compensated employees covered by a collective bargaining agreement, who have completed one year of service. The funding policy of the Company was to make contributions to this plan based on actuarial computations of the minimum required contribution for the plan year.
 
ii. The Company also maintained a noncontributory defined benefit pension plan that covered substantially all noncollective bargaining unit employees of Plastics, Specialties and Technology and Burlington Resins, who have completed one year of service and were not participants in any other pension plan required by applicable regulations. The funding policy of the Company was to make contributions to the plan based on actuarial computations of the minimum required contribution for the plan year. On September 8, 1998, the Company approved a plan to freeze this defined benefit pension plan effective September 30, 1998.
 
iii. The Company also had a defined benefit pension plan for the benefit of all employees having completed one year of service with Dolco Packaging Corporation (“Dolco”). The funding policy of the Company was to make the minimum required contribution for the plan year required by applicable regulations. Dolco’s Board of Directors approved a plan to freeze this defined benefit pension plan on June 30, 1987, at which time benefits ceased to accrue. The Company has not been required to contribute to the plan since 1990.
 
On January 1, 2007, the three plans were combined to become the Tekni-Plex, Inc. Pension Plan (“The Plan”).

(c)   Post-retirement Benefits
 
In addition to providing pension benefits, the Company also sponsors the Burlington Retiree Welfare Plan, which provides certain healthcare benefits for retired employees of the Burlington division who were employed on an hourly basis, covered under a collective bargaining agreement and retired prior to July 31, 1997. Those employees and their families became eligible for these benefits after the employee completed five years of service, if retiring at age fifty-five, or at age sixty-five, the normal retirement age. Post-retirement healthcare benefits paid for the years ended June 29, 2007, June 30, 2006 and July 1, 2005 amounted to $217, $211 and $369, respectively, net of retiree contributions.

June 28, 2002 to a graded trend started at 12% for 2003 and decreasing 1% each year to 6.00% in 2009 and then to an ultimate rate of 5.00% for 2012 and beyond. The healthcare cost trend rate assumption has a significant effect on the amounts reported. A 1% increase in healthcare trend rate would increase the accumulated post-retirement benefit obligation by $321 and $596 and increase the service and interest components by $70 and $66 at June 29, 2007 and June 30, 2006, respectively.
 
The Company’s plan asset allocation at 2007 and 2006 and target allocation for 2008 are as follows:

The Company’s investment policy is to invest in stock and balanced funds of mutual fund and insurance companies to preserve principal while at the same time establish a minimum rate of return of approximately 5%. No more than one-third of the total plan assets are placed in any one fund.
 
The expected long-term rate-of-return-on-assets is 8%. This return is based upon the historical performance of the currently invested funds.
 
The benefits expected to be paid for each of the next five years and in the aggregate for each of the plans for the following five years are:

10.   STOCK OPTIONS
 
In January 1998, the Company adopted an incentive stock plan (the “Stock Incentive Plan”). Under the Stock Incentive Plan, 45.8 shares are available for awards to employees of the Company. Options are granted at fair market value on the date of grant. As of July 2, 1999 options to purchase 38.2 shares of common stock were outstanding at weighted-average exercise price of $177 thousand. During 2001 options were granted to purchase 4.0 shares of common stock at weighted average exercise prices of $559 thousand per share. During 2003 options to purchase 2.0 shares of common stock at a weighted average exercise price of $177 thousand were forfeited and options to purchase 2.0 shares of common stock at a weighted average exercise price of $680 thousand were issued. In fiscal 2006, options to purchase up to 16.0 shares of common stock with a strike price of $43 thousand per share were issued and options to purchase 2.0 share with a strike price of $680 thousand were forfeited 10 options were issued in fiscal 2007 with an average exercise price of $43,681. The Company determined that the fair value of these options was nominal. The options are subject to vesting provisions, as determined by the Board of Directors, and generally vest 100% five years from grant date and expire 10 years from date of grant.
 
At June 29, 2007, 42.1 options were outstanding, 16.1 options were exercisable and no options have been exercised.

11.   COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
 
Commitments
 
(a) The Company leases building space and certain equipment in approximately 33 locations throughout the United States, Canada and Europe. At June 29, 2007, the Company’s future minimum lease payments are as follows:
 
         
2008
  $ 12,793  
2009
    9,140  
2010
    6,819  
2011
    5,893  
2012
    5,548  
Thereafter
    13,077  
         
    $ 53,270  
 
Rent expense, including escalation charges, amounted to approximately $10,016 and $8,447 for the years ended June 29, 2007 and June 30, 2006, respectively.
 
(b) The Company has an employment contract with one officer, providing a minimum annual salary of $4.0 million with no mandatory bonuses. The two year agreement expires in 2007.
 
Contingencies
 
(a) The Company is a party to various legal proceedings arising in the normal conduct of business, including compliance with environmental regulations and foreign tax matters. Management believes that the final outcome of these proceedings will not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
 
(b) In January 1993 and 1994, our Belgian subsidiary received income tax assessments aggregating approximately 74.9 million Belgian Francs for the disallowance of certain foreign tax credits and investment losses claimed for the years ended July 31, 1990 and 1991. Additionally, in January 1995, the subsidiary received an income tax assessment of approximately 32.8 million Belgian francs for the year ended July 31, 1992. By Belgium law, these assessments are capped at the values above, increased by late payment interest for a period of 18 months only (approximately 15.5 million Belgian francs) and do not continue to accrue additional penalties or interest as long as the Tax Director has not rendered a decision in connection with the tax complaints that have been filed against these tax assessments. To date, the Tax Director has not rendered a decision. These liabilities, which total approximately EUR 3,054,000 or $4.2 million at current exchange rates, have been fully accrued for as of June 29, 2007.
 
(c) We are subject to environmental laws requiring the investigation and cleanup of environmental contamination. In addition to remediation being undertaken by third parties at a limited number of our locations, we are currently remediating contamination resulting from past industrial activity at two of our New Jersey facilities which we acquired from PureTec in 1998. This remediation is being conducted pursuant to the requirements of New Jersey’s Industrial Site Recovery Act which were triggered by the 1998 PureTec transaction. If any other events were to occur in the future that would be deemed to have effected a “change of control” of any of our New Jersey facilities as defined under New Jersey’s Industrial Site Recovery Act, we would be required to take additional actions to comply with such statute, including possibly additional investigations and remediation. We also are conducting remediation at a formerly-owned New Jersey facility under a voluntary cleanup agreement with the state.
 
We recently voluntarily self-disclosed to regulators certain non-compliances with the air permit for our Troy, OH facility. We have installed additional pollution controls at this facility and we are currently in compliance with


F-26

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)
 
our air permit. We may also be required to pay a fine, but we cannot predict whether such a fine will be imposed, or if so, in what amount.
 
In 2004, the National Enforcement Investigation Center (NEIC), on behalf of the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), conducted an environmental review of our Burlington, NJ site concerning federal Clean Air Act requirements. The EPA subsequently issued a request for further information regarding these air issues under Section 114 of the federal Clean Air Act. In February and March, 2006 the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection (NJDEP) issued administrative orders alleging violations of certain state air regulations at the Burlington facility. In March, 2006, the United States Department of Justice (DOJ) contacted Colorite on behalf of the EPA. The DOJ indicated that certain violations under several federal environmental statutes had been identified as a result of the EPA’s inspection. They discussed the alleged violations and attempted to negotiate a settlement. Since that date, representatives of Colorite have met with representatives of EPA, DOJ and NJDEP on several occasions to discuss the alleged federal and state violations. Tekni-Plex continues to evaluate the alleged violations and its defenses to them, and anticipates negotiating with the government agencies to attempt to resolve these matters.
 
As of June 29, 2007 we had a $1.4 million reserve in our financial statements to reflect our best estimate of the aggregate expenses associated with these environmental matters. This reserve is in addition to existing environmental reserves which total $500,000 and the reserves described in Note 14 related to our Elm and Swan acquisitions.
 
Although we believe that, based on historical experience, the costs of achieving and maintaining compliance with environmental laws and regulations are unlikely to have a material adverse effect on our business, we could incur significant fines, penalties, capital costs or other liabilities associated with any confirmed noncompliance or remediation of contamination or natural resource damage liability at or related to any of our current or former facilities, the precise nature of which we cannot now predict. Furthermore, we cannot assure you that future environmental laws or regulations will not require substantial expenditures by us or significant modifications or our operations.
 
12.   CONCENTRATIONS OF CREDIT RISKS
 
Financial instruments that potentially subject the of Company to significant concentrations of credit risk consist principally cash deposits and trade accounts receivable.
 
The Company provides credit to customers on an unsecured basis after evaluating customer credit worthiness. Since the Company sells to a broad range of customers, concentrations of credit risk are limited. The Company provides an allowance for bad debts where there is a possibility for loss.
 
The Company maintains demand deposits at several major banks throughout the United States, Canada and Europe. As part of its cash management process, the Company periodically reviews the credit standing of these banks.

14.   SEGMENT INFORMATION
 
Tekni-Plex management reviews its operating plants to evaluate performance and allocate resources. Tekni-Plex has aggregated its operating plants into three primary industry segments: Tubing Products, Packaging and Other. The Tubing Products segment principally produces garden and irrigation hose, medical tubing and pool hose. The Packaging segment principally produces foam egg cartons, pharmaceutical blister films, poultry and meat processor trays, closure liners, aerosol and pump packaging components and foam plates. Products that do not fit in either of these segments, including recycled PET, vinyl compounds and specialty resins, have been reflected in Other. The Tubing Products and Packaging segments have operations in the United States, Europe and Canada. The Other segment has operations only in the United States.

(1) In September 2005, we concluded our annual garden hose contract negotiations. While we were largely successful in securing our target price increases, we lost meaningful market share. With this information in mind, in the second quarter of fiscal 2006 we deemed it appropriate to retest the goodwill in our Tubing segment. Accordingly, we recorded a $35.1 million impairment charge against the goodwill associated with our Swan operations as we anticipate reducing the capacity of this operation, eliminating much of its fixed costs, to reflect our reduced market position.

(2) The first quarter of fiscal 2007 included a $2.4 million reduction in interest expense due to a change in the methodology used to accrete our preferred stock to its mandatory redemption value from the straight-line method to the effective interest method.
 
(3) The fourth quarter of fiscal 2007 includes certain fourth quarter adjustments, including the following:
 
     (1)  $1.1 million reduction in inventory to correct a misstated inventory count at our Action Technology unit in Clinton, IL.
 
     (2)  $2.8 million increase in fixed assets to correct excess depreciation charged in prior years.
