Risks Related To Our Business We face intense competition and if we cannot successfully compete in the marketplace, our business, financial condition and operating results may be materially adversely affected. A substantial percentage of our revenues are attributable to three large retail customers, which may decrease or cease purchases at any time. 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 will significantly impact our business. Failure to purchase the contracted quantity of natural gas may result in financial exposure Our exposure to variable interest rates may affect our financial health. We exclusively use preconsumer solid bleached sulfate paper, or SBS paper, to produce parent rolls and any disruption in our supply or increase in the cost of preconsumer SBS paper could disrupt our production and harm our ability to produce tissue at competitive prices. We depend on our management team to operate the Company and execute our business plan. Labor interruptions would adversely affect our business. Our paper mill may experience shutdowns due to unforeseen operational problems or maintenance outages which may cause significant lost production which will adversely affect our financial position and results of operations. Our operations require substantial capital, and we may not have adequate capital resources to provide for all of our cash requirements. Our business is subject to extensive governmental regulations and any imposition of new regulations or failure to comply with existing regulations could involve significant additional expense. If we fail to maintain an effective system of internal controls, we may not be able to accurately report our financial results or prevent fraud and, as a result, our business could be harmed and current and potential stockholders could lose confidence in us, which could cause our stock price to fall. The parent roll market is a commodity market and subject to fluctuations in demand and pricing. Excess supply in the markets may reduce the prices we are able to charge for our products. If we are unable to continue to implement our business strategies, our financial conditions and operating results could be materially affected. Risks Related To Our Common Stock We do not pay cash dividends on our common stock, and we do not anticipate paying any cash dividends in the future. Our certificate of incorporation, bylaws and Delaware law contain provisions that could discourage a takeover. Our future operating results may be below securities analysts' or investors' expectations, which could cause our stock price to decline. Our common stock has low average trading volume, and we expect that the price of our common stock could fluctuate substantially, possibly resulting in class action securities litigation. Our directors have limited personal liability and rights of indemnification from us for their actions as directors.
