Part I

Item 1. Business.

Solo Cup Company (Solo Delaware or the Company) was incorporated in
Delaware in January 2004 to be the holding company for Solo Cup Company, an Illinois corporation (Solo Illinois) and its subsidiaries, and for SF Holdings Group, Inc., a Delaware corporation, and its subsidiaries (SF
Holdings) which included Sweetheart Cup Company Inc. (Sweetheart). Effective February 22, 2004, Solo Illinois became a wholly owned subsidiary of Solo Delaware. In September 2005, Sweetheart changed its name to Solo Cup Operating
Corporation (SCOC). In October 2005, Solo Illinois merged with and into SCOC, and SCOC was the surviving entity. Solo Delaware is a holding company, the material assets of which are 100% of the capital stock of SF Holdings. SF Holdings
owns 100% of the capital stock of SCOC. Solo Delaware is a wholly owned subsidiary of Solo Cup Investment Corporation, a Delaware corporation (SCIC). SCC Holding Company LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (SCC Holding)
and Vestar Capital Partners (Vestar), together with certain of its affiliates, own 67.2% and 32.7% of SCIC, respectively. Company management holds the remaining 0.1% of SCIC.

Solo Delaware traces its origins to a predecessor company, Solo Illinois, established in 1936. SCOCs operating history dates from the founding of a
predecessor company in 1911.

On February 27, 2004, with an effective date of February 22, 2004, the Company acquired 100.0% of the
outstanding capital stock of SF Holdings (the SF Holdings Acquisition). The consolidated financial position and results of operations for the Company include the accounts of SF Holdings from February 22, 2004.

Prior to these transactions, the Company had no operations other than in connection with its formation and the authorization of these transactions.

In June 2005, the Companys Board of Directors approved a change in the Companys fiscal year from the year ended December 31 to
the 52- or 53-week period ending on the last Sunday in December except that fiscal year 2005 ended on January 1, 2006. All subsequent fiscal years will end on the last Sunday in December. The fiscal quarters for 2006 will be the thirteen weeks
ending April 2, 2006, July 2, 2006, October 1, 2006 and December 31, 2006.

Financial information about our business segments, which are
combined geographically, is incorporated herein by reference from Note 19 to the Companys consolidated financial statements in Item 8 of this Form 10-K.

Overview of Business

We are a leading global producer and marketer of disposable foodservice products and have served our
industry for almost 70 years. We manufacture one of the broadest product lines of cups, lids, food containers, plates, bowls, portion cups, stirrers, straws, cutlery, napkins, placemats, tablecovers and disposable food packaging containers in the
industry, with products available in plastic, paper and foam. We are recognized for product innovation and customer service, and our products are known for their quality, reliability and consistency. Our products are marketed primarily under the
Solo® and Sweetheart® brands, as well as Jack Frost®, Trophy®, Hoffmaster®, Sensations® and Creative Expressions®. We are one of the leading suppliers of branded disposable cups, plates and bowls in the United States. We also provide a line of products to our customers under private label brands. We currently operate 28
manufacturing facilities and 25 distribution centers in North America, Japan, the United Kingdom and Panama, and we sell our products worldwide. For the 2005 fiscal year, we generated $2,437.7 million of net sales.

Products

We produce a broad range of plastic, paper and foam disposable foodservice products. We also produce food packaging containers for the dairy and food processing industries. Our plastic products include a wide range of cups, lids, food
containers, plates, bowls, cutlery, portion cups, straws and stirrers as well as food packaging containers. Our paper products include cups, plates, bowls, portion cups, food containers, napkins, tablecovers and placemats. Our foam products include
cups, plates, bowls and food containers. Our plastic, paper and foam products are offered in a variety of sizes, designs and colors and at a range of price points.

Customers

We serve two primary customer groups, foodservice and retail. Sales to foodservice customers accounted for
approximately 79% of our net sales for the year ended January 1, 2006. Our foodservice customers include: (1) Broadline distributors, such as Sysco Corporation, U.S. Foodservice, Inc. and Performance Food Group, (2) specialty distributors such as
Bunzl Corporation, Network Services Company and UniPro Foodservice, Inc., (3) global or national accounts, such as Starbucks Corporation, McDonalds Corporation (through its packaging and supply chain partner, Havi International Inc. (f/k/a
Perseco)), 7-Eleven, Inc. and YUM! Brands, Inc. (the parent company for Kentucky Fried Chicken, Pizza Hut, Taco Bell, Long John Silvers and A&W), and (4) dairy and food processors, such as Blue Bell Creameries, L.P. and Nissin Food Products
Company LTD. We believe we have strong relationships with leading foodservice customers due to our broad product offering, longstanding presence in the industry, emphasis on innovation and customer service.

Sales to our retail customers accounted for approximately 21% of our net sales for the year ended January 1, 2006. Our consumer customers include (1)
grocery stores, such as Publix Supermarkets Inc., The Kroger Company and Albertsons, Inc., (2) mass merchandisers, such as Wal-Mart Stores, Inc. (Wal-Mart) and Target Corporation, (3) warehouse clubs, such as Costco Wholesale
Corporation (Costco) and BJs Wholesale Club, and (4) other retail outlets, such as drug stores, party stores and dollar stores. We are one of the leading suppliers of branded disposable cups and plastic plates and bowls to consumer
customers in the United States, which we sell under the Solo® and Jack Frost®
brand names. In addition, we sell paper and party goods under the brand names Sensations®, Paper Art®, Party Creations®
and Touch of Color®. Our sales and marketing
strategy for retail customers is designed around supporting our strong brand names, as well as providing private label products.

Sales and Marketing

We sell our products to foodservice customers through our regionallyorganized, in-house direct sales force, global account direct
sales force and, to a lesser extent, select broker networks. Foodservice distributors sell the products they purchase from us to operators such as restaurants, hospitals, schools and other large organizations that have foodservice operations. As a
result of this selling structure, stocking decisions made by our distributors are based on demand from foodservice operators. Our sales force calls on local branches of distributors to sell our existing range of product offerings as well as new
products. Through our global account sales force, we sell our products to quick service restaurants (QSRs), convenience stores and to other national account segments. Our global account sales forces work closely with these customers to
develop unique product offerings and promotional programs.

We sell our products to retail customers primarily through regional broker
networks. In the case of some of our larger customers, such as Wal-Mart and Costco, we use our in-house direct sales force. Our retail customers sell our products to consumers who make the ultimate purchasing decisions. Accordingly, our sales and
marketing strategy for retail customers is designed around supporting our strong brand names, such as Solo®, Sensations® and Jack Frost®, as
well as selling private label products. We support our brands with both in-store and out-of-store promotional activities.

We sell our food
packaging products directly to customers in the dairy and food processing industries using our in-house sales force that is organized on the basis of regional location and customer relationships.

Seasonality

Historically, we have experienced seasonality as more of our products are sold in the warmer months with the majority of our net cash flows from operations realized during the last nine months of the year. Sales for such periods reflect the
high seasonal demands of the summer months when outdoor and away-from-home consumption increases.

Raw Materials

The principal raw materials for our plastic operations are resins, including polystyrene, polypropylene and APET. We purchase resins from large
petrochemical and resin producers such as Dow, Total, Voridian, Nova and BASF. Resin prices are influenced by oil, natural gas and other input prices, increases or decreases in supply capacity and changes in demand.

The principal raw material used in our paper operations is solid bleached sulfate paperboard. We purchase from integrated paper manufacturers such as
International Paper, MeadWestvaco and Georgia Pacific. Paper prices are driven by supply and demand as well as input costs for energy, fiber, chemicals, polyethylene and transportation.

We believe we have good relationships with our major raw material suppliers. While we have experienced brief delays in the availability of our raw
materials from time to time, most recently following the 2005 hurricane activity in the Gulf Coast region of the United States, we have not experienced any long-term interruptions in supply.

Raw material costs make up a significant portion of our cost of goods sold. Although we generally enter into three- to five-year term supply contracts
with our raw material suppliers, we continue to have exposure to changes in raw material prices. Historically, we have not hedged our exposure to fluctuations in raw material prices.

Manufacturing

Our manufacturing strategy is to reduce costs through process improvements and
innovation, while meeting our customers needs and maintaining our standard for quality. We employ many different technologies and are able to manufacture and supply various products in plastic, paper and foam. Our flexibility and expertise in
these technologies enable us to respond quickly to customer needs.

The primary processes employed in manufacturing our products are as
follows:



| |  |  | Plastic Cups, Lids, Plates, Bowls, Foam Cups and Plates. Plastic extrusion is used to convert plastic resin from pellets to a flat extruded sheet. We then use a thermoforming
process to convert the extruded sheet into the final product and graphics are added based on customer specifications. The product is packaged in various quantities depending on customer requirements. We have the capability to use a large variety of
resins, including polystyrene, polypropylene, foam and APET.
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Paper Cups, Plates, Napkins, Placemats, Table Covers and Food Containers. Raw material is printed with graphics according to customer requirements and fed through forming
machines.
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Plastic Cutlery and Straws. We utilize injection molding machines to manufacture plastic cutlery. The plastic pellets are melted, and the molten resin is injected into the
mold. The parts are automatically cooled, trimmed and ejected from the machine. The product is then either packaged in bulk or individually wrapped. An extrusion process is used to form different sizes of straws based on customer specifications.
Products can be made using polypropylene or polystyrene.

Distribution

Our U.S. distribution centers are located in proximity to our manufacturing facilities as well as major population centers. From January 2002 until February 2005, we outsourced a portion of our logistical operations to a third party. As a
result of consolidation and termination of the relationship with the logistics provider, we currently coordinate the majority of our distribution, warehousing and logistics internally. We do use a small number of third party warehouse providers,
including consignment warehouses for certain regions of the United States. These third party warehouses service certain retail and foodservice customers. Our output from the manufacturing plants is consolidated at regional distribution centers that
allow us to service 96% of our U.S. customers with overnight truckload service. As a result of this strategy, we are able to offer a broad range of products at the distribution centers. This provides value to our customers as they can carry less
inventory and we can react to their demand more rapidly.

Our foreign subsidiaries operate out of owned or leased warehouses and manage the
related distribution and transportation networks.

Competition

The disposable foodservice products industry is extremely competitive and highly fragmented. We compete for foodservice customers based on price, quality, customer service, breadth of product offering, and
collaborative product development with our customers. We compete for retail customers based on brand reputation, quality, product differentiation, innovation, marketing programs and price. We compete for food packaging customers based on product
breadth, quality, service, filling equipment capabilities and price. Our competitors include large multinational companies as well as regional manufacturers. Some of our competitors compete across many of our product lines, while others compete with
only some of our products. A few of our competitors are integrated in the manufacturing of disposable foodservice products and related raw materials which reduces their costs for these materials and gives them greater access to these materials in
periods of short supply. Our current or potential competitors may offer products at a lower price or products and service that are superior to ours. In addition, our competitors may be more effective and efficient in integrating new technologies.
Our products also compete with metal, glass and other packaging materials, as well as plastic packaging materials made through different manufacturing processes. Our largest competitors include Pactiv Corporation, Dart Container Corporation,
Huhtamäki Oyj, Dixie Foodservice Corp., a division of Georgia Pacific Corp., which was acquired by Koch Industries in 2005, and International Paper Food Service Business, a division of International Paper Co. In addition, we face competition
from foreign competitors who are entering regional U.S. markets in certain product categories and are aggressively trying to differentiate their product offerings based on price.

Intellectual Property

We rely on a combination of trade secrets, confidentiality agreements, patent,
trademark, copyright, unfair competition and other intellectual property laws to protect our intellectual property and other proprietary rights. We currently have approximately 185 issued and 155 pending U.S. and foreign patents. The Company owns a
number of patents, which vary in duration, depending upon when the patent was filed or granted. Although they are collectively important to our business, no single one of them is material to our business. Litigation may be necessary to enforce our
intellectual property rights, or to defend against claims by third parties that our products infringe their intellectual property rights and could result in substantial costs and diversion of our resources. Even if our proprietary rights are held
enforceable, others may be able to design around our patents or independently develop products and processes equivalent to our proprietary and confidential information.

Research and Development

We believe we have a solid reputation for creativity and new product innovation. Our research and development strategy has three goals: (1) to create innovative, valueadded products that target both new and
existing customers, (2) to differentiate our products in the marketplace and (3) to explore the use of alternative substances to create new market opportunities and enhance our overall market position.

During 2005, we expanded our Trophy® product line to include food-based containers and also developed new formulations that provide enhanced graphic quality on Trophy® products. Product line extensions for snack plates and
bowls were also introduced to our SoloGrips 
product line that are sold to retail customers and special packaging was developed to differentiate the product on the retail shelves. Our packaging division introduced new sizing for certain paper containers, and we introduced a new 54-ounce cold
beverage container for use in movie theaters. Our retail Galaxy® cup was re-designed to utilize less shelf space. We continue to work with our global base of suppliers and customers, to create new applications for materials and to develop applications for new and emerging
technology. Currently, we are sampling and testing materials for use in paper and plastic products that are environmentally friendly such as post consumer fiber and polylactic acid (PLA), a polymer derived from natural plant sugars, for cups and
lids.

International

The
Companys international operations consist of operating subsidiaries in five countries as well as international export sales originating in the U.S. and our international subsidiaries. Approximately 14% of the Companys net sales are
generated outside the United States. International operations are subject to certain additional risks inherent in conducting business outside the United States, such as changes in currency exchange rates, price and currency exchange controls, import
restrictions, nationalization, and other restrictive governmental action, as well as volatile economic, social and political conditions in certain countries.

Employees

As of January 1, 2006, we had approximately 13,400 employees worldwide, including approximately 11,700 in the
United States and 1,700 in other countries; of which approximately 9,600 of these employees worldwide were hourly workers. As of January 1, 2006, approximately 1,800 of our hourly employees were covered by collective bargaining agreements. We
currently have collective bargaining agreements in effect at our facilities in Oshkosh and Appleton, Wisconsin; St. Albans, Vermont; Springfield, Missouri; Augusta, Georgia; Indianapolis, Indiana; Scarborough, Ontario, Canada; and Cuautitlan,
Mexico. These agreements cover all hourly-paid production, maintenance and distribution employees at each facility except for Augusta, Georgia, and contain standard provisions relating to, among other things, management rights, grievance procedures,
strikes and lockouts, seniority and union rights. The agreement for Augusta, Georgia also covers employees who work in the power facility. The current expiration dates of the Appleton; Augusta; Indianapolis; Oshkosh; Springfield; St. Albans;
Ontario; and Cuautitlan agreements are March 31, 2006, October 30, 2008, December 1, 2007, May 31, 2007, February 28, 2007, January 31, 2006, November 30, 2008 and December 31, 2006, respectively. The employees of the El Cajon, California facility
voted to bargain collectively and to be represented by the United Food and Commercial Workers Union (UFCW) in August 2003. The proposed agreement would have affected approximately 165 hourly employees. However, employees petitioned the National
Labor Relations Board in 2004 to decertify the UFCW in El Cajon and in September 2005, the decertification was confirmed. Other than the agreements described above, no employees are currently covered by collective bargaining agreements. We believe
that we have good relationships with our employees.

Environmental Regulation

In the normal course of business, we are required to comply with federal, state, foreign and local environmental and occupational health and safety laws
and regulations, including those governing emissions of air pollutants, discharges of waste and storm water and the disposal of hazardous wastes. Historical capital and operating expenditures deemed necessary to remain in compliance have not had a
material impact on our financial position. We believe that we are in material compliance with applicable standards and regulations of the various regulatory agencies.

We are presently, and may in the future be, subject to liability for the investigation and remediation of environmental contamination, including contamination caused by other parties. This includes properties that we
own or operate or that we formerly owned or operated, and other properties where we or our predecessors have arranged for the disposal of hazardous substances. As a result, we are involved from time to time in administrative and judicial proceedings
and inquiries relating to environmental matters. Any present or future investigations and



7



---

remedial efforts relating to environmental matters could entail material costs or otherwise result in material liabilities. Any amount of future clean up
costs and other environmental liabilities could also be material. We believe that there are not currently any material pending environmental investigations at our plants or sites or at third party sites for which we are liable. However, there can be
no assurance that we will not be involved in any such proceedings in the future and that any amount of future clean up costs and other environmental liabilities will not be material.

We cannot predict what environmental legislation or regulations will be enacted in the future, how existing or future laws or regulations will be
administered or interpreted, or what environmental conditions may be found to exist at our facilities or at third party sites for which we are liable. Enactment of stricter laws or regulations, a stricter interpretation of existing laws and
regulations or the requirement to undertake the investigation or remediation of currently unknown environmental contamination at our own or third party sites may require us to make additional expenditures, some of which could be material.

The Clean Air Act requires the phase out of certain refrigerant compounds. Therefore, we must upgrade or retrofit air conditioning and
chilling systems we use during the next few years. We have decided to replace units as they become inefficient or unserviceable. We expect to complete the replacement of all such units within the next five to nine years, at an estimated total cost
of less than $1.3 million.

Some of our facilities contain asbestos. Although there may be no current legal requirement to remove it, we
monitor such asbestos on an ongoing basis and maintain and/or remove it as appropriate to prevent the release of friable asbestos. We believe the costs associated with this program will not be material to our business or financial condition.

We have received a number of requests for information or notifications of potential liability under the Comprehensive Environmental
Response, Compensation and Liability Act of 1980 regarding the investigation or cleanup of environmental contamination at third party sites. We have no reason to believe that the final outcome with respect to these matters will have a material
adverse effect on our financial condition or results of operations. However, no assurance can be given about the ultimate effect, if any, of such matters on us.

Item 1A. Risk Factors

SPECIAL NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

This report contains forward-looking statements. The words anticipate, intend, plan, estimate,
believe, expect, predict, potential, project, could, will, should, may, would and similar expressions are intended to identify
forward-looking statements, although not all forward-looking statements contain such identifying words. All statements in this report other than statements of historical fact, including statements regarding our business strategy, future operations,
financial position, estimated net sales, projected costs, projected cost savings, projected synergies, prospects, plans and objectives, as well as information concerning industry trends and expected actions of third parties, are forward-looking
statements. All forward-looking statements speak only as of the date on which they are made. They rely on a number of assumptions concerning future events and are subject to a number of risks and uncertainties, many of which are outside our control,
that could cause actual results to differ materially from such statements. These risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to, the factors listed under Risk Factors below. Except as required by applicable law, including the
securities laws of the United States and the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), we undertake no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statement, whether as a result of new
information, future events or otherwise to reflect actual results or changes in factors or assumptions affecting such forward-looking statement.

RISK
FACTORS

We operate in a highly competitive environment and may not be able to compete successfully.

The disposable foodservice products industry is extremely competitive and highly fragmented. We compete for foodservice customers based on price, quality,
customer service, breadth of product offering and collaborative product development with our customers. We compete for retail customers based on brand reputation, quality, product differentiation, innovation, marketing programs and price. We compete
for food packaging customers based on price, product breadth, quality, service and filling equipment capabilities. Our competitors include large multinational companies as well as regional manufacturers. Some of our competitors compete across many
of our product lines, while others compete with only some of our products. A few of our competitors are integrated in the manufacturing of disposable food service products and related raw materials which reduces their costs for these materials and
gives them greater access to these materials in periods of short supply. Our current or potential competitors may offer products at a lower price or products and service that are superior to ours. In addition, our competitors may be more effective
and efficient in integrating new technologies. Our products also compete with metal, glass and other packaging materials, as well as plastic packaging materials made through different manufacturing processes. Any of the factors listed above may
cause price reductions, reduced gross margins, decreased sales and reduced ability to attract and retain customers. As a result, we may not be able to compete successfully against our competitors.

We may not realize all cost savings, synergies or revenue enhancements that we anticipated when we acquired SF Holdings.

Even if we successfully integrate the operations of SF Holdings, we may not be able to realize all the cost savings, synergies or revenue enhancements
that we anticipate from the integration, either in the amount or the time frame that we currently expect. Additionally, the costs of achieving these benefits may be higher than what we currently expect. Our ability to realize anticipated cost
savings, synergies and revenue enhancement may be affected by a number of factors, including but not limited to the following:



| |  |  | difficulties and unanticipated expenses related to completing the integration of information systems and internal controls, technologies, books and records, uniform standards,
environmental management systems, and other controls, procedures and policies;
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | the ability to utilize anticipated resources for integration and implementation activities over the next three years to achieve the anticipated cost savings;
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | increases in other expenses, operating losses or problems unrelated to the acquisition may offset the cost savings and other synergies from the acquisition; and
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | our ability to avoid labor disruptions in connection with the realignment or closure of facilities.
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Our significant debt could adversely affect our financial health.

We have a significant amount of debt. As of January 1, 2006, we had total debt of $1,043.3 million, of which $325.0 million consisted of our 8.5% Senior
Subordinated notes and $710.3 million consisted of borrowings under our credit facilities.

Our high level of debt could have important
consequences to our note holders, including the following:



| |  |  | requiring that we use a large portion of our cash flow to pay principal and interest on the notes, the credit facilities and our other debt, which will reduce the availability of
cash to fund working capital, capital expenditures, research and development and other business activities;
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | increasing our vulnerability to general adverse economic and industry conditions;
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | limiting our flexibility in planning for, or reacting to, changes in our business and the industry in which we operate;
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | restricting us from making strategic acquisitions or exploiting business opportunities;
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | making it more difficult for us to satisfy our obligations with respect to the notes and our other debt;
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | placing us at a competitive disadvantage relative to competitors that have less debt; and
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | limiting our ability to borrow additional funds, dispose of assets or pay cash dividends.
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

In addition, a substantial portion of our debt bears interest at variable rates. If market interest rates increase, debt service on our variable-rate
debt will rise, which would adversely affect our cash flow. Although our credit facilities require us to employ hedging strategies such that not less than 50% of our total debt carries a fixed rate of interest for a period of three years following
the consummation of the transactions (through February 2007), any hedging agreements put in place may not offer complete protection from this risk. Additionally, the remaining portion of the credit facilities is not hedged and, therefore, is subject
to changes in interest rates.

We also may incur substantial additional debt in the future. Although the indenture governing the notes and
the terms of our credit facilities contain restrictions on the incurrence of additional debt, these restrictions are subject to a number of qualifications and exceptions, and debt incurred in compliance with these restrictions could be substantial.
In addition, we may refinance all or a portion of our debt, including borrowings under our credit facilities, and incur more debt as a result. As of January 1, 2006, our credit facilities permitted additional borrowing of up to $83.7 million (after
giving effect to outstanding letters of credit). In March 2006, the Company received a commitment to enter into a senior secured second lien term loan facility of $80.0 million. If we incur new debt, the significant risks described above would
intensify.

If we do not adequately manage, integrate and implement our order management and enterprise resource planning systems, our ability to
manage and grow our business could be adversely affected.

We will need to continue to improve existing and implement new
operational and financial systems, procedures and controls to manage our business effectively in the future. As a result, we have recently licensed enterprise resource planning software and have begun a process to expand and upgrade our enterprise
resource planning systems. Any delay in the implementation of, or disruption in the transition to our new or enhanced systems, procedures or controls, could harm our ability to accurately forecast sales demand, manage our supply chain, achieve
accuracy in the conversion of electronic data and records, and report financial and management information on a timely and accurate basis. In addition, as we add additional functionality, new problems could arise that we have not foreseen. Such
problems could adversely impact our ability to timely provide quotes, fulfill customer orders, ship products, implement pricing programs, bill and track our customers, fulfill contractual obligations, and otherwise run our business. Failure to
properly or adequately address these issues could result in the diversion of managements attention and resources, impact our ability to manage our business, and have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations or cash
flows.

---

Further consolidation in the foodservice and retail industries may adversely affect our profitability.

Broadline distributors, mass merchandisers, warehouse clubs and many of our other customers have consolidated. If, as we expect,
this trend continues, our customers will likely seek more favorable terms, including pricing, for their purchases of our products, which will limit our ability to raise prices. Sales on terms less favorable to us than our current terms will have an
adverse effect on our profitability.

We could be adversely affected by raw material availability and pricing.

Our principal raw materials include resins and paperboard. Periods of short supply for these raw materials may occur. In addition, prices for our raw
materials fluctuate. For example, the weighted average market index price, as disclosed by Chemical Data, Inc. (CDI), for the primary resins we use in our products increased by 15.3% in 2005. When raw material prices decrease, our
selling prices have historically decreased. When raw material prices increase, our selling prices have historically also increased, although often with a time lag. The impact of raw material price changes is affected by a number of factors,
including the level of inventories at the time of price changes, the specific timing and frequency of price changes and the lead and lag time that generally accompanies the implementation of both raw material price changes and subsequent selling
price changes. If raw material prices increase and we are unable to pass the price increases on to our customers, our profitability may be adversely affected, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition or results
of operations. In the event raw material prices increase over a period of several months, profit margins may be reduced. We have not historically employed hedging strategies to limit our exposure to fluctuations in raw material prices on any
meaningful level. To the extent that our supply of raw materials becomes restricted and we cannot locate or substitute adequate alternative sources, our profitability also may be adversely affected. We cannot predict whether our customer preferences
for the materials used in our products will change over time or what raw materials will be used in the future.

We are subject to extensive
environmental regulation and significant potential environmental liabilities.

Our operations are subject to comprehensive and
frequently changing federal, state, foreign and local environmental and occupational health and safety laws and regulations, including laws and regulations governing emissions of air pollutants, discharges of waste and storm water, the management of
hazardous substances and the disposal of hazardous waste. We are presently, and may in the future be, subject to liability for the investigation and remediation of environmental contamination, including contamination caused by other parties, at
properties that we own or operate or that we formerly owned or operated and at other properties where we or our predecessors have arranged for the disposal of hazardous substances. As a result, we are involved from time to time in administrative and
judicial proceedings and inquiries relating to environmental matters. Any present or future investigations and remedial efforts relating to environmental matters could entail material costs or otherwise result in material liabilities. Any amount of
future clean up costs and other environmental liabilities could also be material. We need to conduct our operations in compliance with the environmental permits granted by federal, state and local authorities. There are various risks associated with
noncompliance with these permits, including cessation of our operations at the noncompliant facilities and significant fines and penalties.

We cannot predict what environmental legislation or regulations will be enacted in the future, how existing or future laws or regulations will be administered or interpreted, or what environmental conditions may be found to exist at our
facilities or at third party sites for which we are liable. Enactment of stricter laws or regulations, stricter interpretation of existing laws and regulations or the requirement to undertake the investigation or remediation of currently unknown
environmental contamination at our own or third party sites may require us to make additional expenditures, some of which could be material.

Our international operations expose us to risks related to conducting business in multiple jurisdictions outside
the United States.

The Companys international operations consist of operating subsidiaries in five countries as well as
international export sales originating both in the U.S and our international subsidiaries. The international scope of our operations may lead to volatile financial results and difficulties in managing our business. The Company generated 14.0% of its
net sales outside the United States for the year ended January 1, 2006. We anticipate that international sales may grow as a percentage of net sales. We have committed resources to expanding our international operations and sales channels and these
efforts may not be successful. International sales and operations are subject to a number of risks, including the following:



| |  |  | exchange rate fluctuations and limitations on convertibility;
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | social and political turmoil, official corruption and civil unrest;
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | restrictive governmental actions such as the imposition of trade quotas and restrictions on transfers of funds;
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | changes in non-U.S. labor laws and regulations affecting our ability to hire, retain or dismiss employees;
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | the need to comply with multiple and potentially conflicting laws and regulations;
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | preference for locally branded products, and laws and business practices favoring local competition;
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | less effective protection of intellectual property;
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | difficulties and costs of staffing, managing and accounting for foreign operations; and
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | unfavorable business conditions or economic instability in any particular country or region.
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Our exposure to currency exchange rate fluctuations results primarily from the translation exposure associated with the preparation of our consolidated
financial statements, as well as from transaction exposure associated with generating revenues and incurring expenses in different currencies. While our consolidated financial statements are reported in U.S. dollars, the financial statements of our
subsidiaries outside the United States are measured using the local currency as the functional currency and translated into U.S. dollars by applying an appropriate exchange rate. As a result, fluctuations in the exchange rate of the U.S. dollar
relative to the local currencies in which our subsidiaries outside the United States report could cause significant fluctuations in our consolidated results. We record sales and expenses in a variety of currencies. While our expenses with respect to
foreign operations are generally denominated in the same currency as the corresponding sales, we have transaction exposure to the extent our receipts and expenditures are not offsetting in any currency. Moreover, the costs of doing business abroad
may increase as a result of adverse exchange rate fluctuations. In addition, we may lose customers if exchange rate fluctuations, currency devaluation or economic crises increase the local currency price of our products or reduce our customers
ability to purchase our products. If we are unable to manage the operational challenges associated with our international activities, our business, financial condition or results of operations could be materially and adversely affected.

If we are unable to improve existing products and develop new products, our sales and industry position may suffer.

We believe that our future success will depend, in part, on our ability to continue making innovations to our existing products and to develop,
manufacture and market new products. This will depend, in part, on the success of our research and development and engineering efforts, our ability to expand or modify our manufacturing capacity and the extent to which we convince customers and
consumers to accept our new products. If we fail to successfully innovate, introduce, market, manufacture and differentiate our products from those of our competitors, our ability to maintain or expand our net sales and to maintain or enhance our
industry position could be adversely affected. This, in turn, could materially adversely affect our business, financial condition or results of operations.

The loss of the services of our key management and personnel could adversely affect our business.

We believe that
our ability to successfully implement our business strategy and to operate profitably depends on the continued employment of some members of our senior management team. If these members of the management team become unable or unwilling to continue
in their present positions, our business, financial condition or results of operations could be materially adversely affected. In addition, our continued growth depends on our ability to attract and retain experienced key employees.

We are controlled by the stockholders of Solo Cup Investment Corporation, the interests of which may conflict with
the interests of our note holders.

All of our outstanding capital stock is owned by our parent company, Solo Cup Investment
Corporation (SCIC). Holders of SCC Holding Company LLCs voting interests control 100% of the outstanding common stock of SCIC, and affiliates of Vestar Capital Partners (Vestar) holds 99.6% of the outstanding
convertible participating preferred stock (CPPS) of SCIC, with the remaining balance of the CPPS held by members of our management.

The CPPS is currently convertible at any time, at the option of the holders, into 32.7% of the common stock of SCIC. The CPPS is entitled to vote on all matters, voting together with the holders of common stock as a
single class. Holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of CPPS, voting as a separate class, are entitled to elect two individuals to the board of directors of SCIC and the Company. Upon the occurrence of certain specified events, holders of
the securities subject to redemption would be entitled to elect persons constituting a majority of the board of directors of SCIC. These events consist of the following:



| |  |  | specified events of default;
| | - |  | ----------------------------



| |  |  | if SCIC substantially underperforms based on financial covenants, including minimum EBITDA targets and maximum leverage ratios, or
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | if SCIC fails to redeem the CPPS or other equity securities issued pursuant thereto held by Vestar and certain transferees on or prior to the seventh anniversary of the issue date
of the CPPS.
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

If Vestar acquires control of SCIC, the indenture provision regarding a change of control would not be
triggered; therefore, the Company would not be obligated to offer to repurchase the notes under those circumstances.

The interests of SCC
Holding Company LLC and the holders of SCICs CPPS, including Vestar, could conflict with the interests of our note holders. For example, if we encounter financial difficulties or are unable to pay our debts as they mature, the interests of
these indirect equity holders might conflict with the interests of a note holder. SCICs stockholders may also have an interest in pursuing acquisitions, divestitures, financings or other transactions that, in their judgment, could enhance
their equity investments, even though the transactions might involve risks to a holder of the notes. In addition, SCC Holding Company LLC or its affiliates and Vestar or its affiliates may in the future own businesses that directly compete with
ours. While we are subject to certain provisions of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, these provisions do not require us to have independent directors.

The loss of one or more of our principal customers could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition or results of operations.

We have a number of large customers that account for a significant portion of our net sales. For the 2005 fiscal year, our five largest customers
represented approximately 14.7% of net sales, with no one customer accounting for more than 5.5% of net sales. The loss of one or more of our large customers could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition or results of
operations. In line with industry practice, we generally do not enter into long-term sales agreements with customers.

Prolonged work stoppages at
plants with union employees could adversely affect our results and jeopardize our business and financial position.

As of January 1,
2006, approximately 13% of our employees were covered by one or more collective bargaining agreements. This percentage may increase in the future. These collective bargaining agreements have staggered expirations over the next three years. Although
we consider our employee relations to be generally good, a prolonged work stoppage or strike at any facility with union employees could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition or results of operations. In addition, upon
the expiration of existing collective bargaining agreements, new agreements may not be reached without union action and any new agreements may not be on terms satisfactory to us.



13



---

We may make other acquisitions and consequently face integration, management diversion and other risks.

We may pursue additional acquisitions in the future. Any future acquisitions could be of significant size and may involve either
domestic or international parties. To acquire and integrate a separate organization would divert management attention from other business activities. This diversion, together with other difficulties we may encounter in integrating an acquired
business, could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition or results of operations. Moreover, we may not realize any of the anticipated benefits of an acquisition and integration costs may exceed anticipated amounts. In
connection with future acquisitions, we may also assume the liabilities of the businesses we acquire. These liabilities could materially and adversely affect our business and financial condition.

We may not be able to adequately protect our intellectual property and other proprietary rights.

We rely on a combination of contractual provisions, confidentiality procedures and agreements, and patent, trademark, copyright, unfair competition, trade
secrecy and other intellectual property laws to protect our intellectual property and other proprietary rights. Such measures may not provide adequate protection and may not prevent our competitors from gaining access to our intellectual property
and proprietary information or independently developing technologies that are substantially equivalent or superior to our technology, which could harm our competitive position and could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial
condition or results of operations. Furthermore, we cannot assure you that any pending patent application or trademark application held by us will result in an issued patent or registered trademark, or that any issued or registered patents or
trademarks will not be challenged, invalidated, circumvented or rendered unenforceable.

Litigation may be necessary to enforce our
intellectual property rights and protect our proprietary information, or to defend against claims by third parties that our products infringe their intellectual property rights. Any litigation or claims brought by or against us, whether with or
without merit, or whether successful or not, could result in substantial costs and diversion of our resources, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition or results of operations. Any intellectual property
litigation or claims against us could result in the loss or compromise of our intellectual property and proprietary rights, could subject us to significant liabilities, require us to seek licenses on unfavorable terms, prevent us from manufacturing
or selling products and require us to redesign or, in the case of trademark claims, rename our products, any of which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition or results of operations.

Item 2. Properties.

Our executive offices are located in Highland Park, Illinois. We own, lease and operate
manufacturing and distribution facilities throughout North America and in Japan, Panama and the United Kingdom. The table below provides summary information regarding our material manufacturing, distribution, office and warehouse properties. We
believe these properties, which are being used for their intended purposes, are adequate and well maintained. Substantially all of our properties are pledged as collateral under our Senior Credit Facility. See Item 7. As part of our integration of
SF Holdings, we announced the closure of certain facilities. In January 2005, we announced the closure of our facilities located in Green Bay, Wisconsin and St. Albans, Vermont. Green Bay, Wisconsin was closed in the first quarter of 2005 and the
St. Albans closure is expected to be completed by the end of the first quarter of 2006. In February 2005, we announced the closure of our facilities located in Glens Falls, New York; Goshen, Indiana; Shreveport, Louisiana; and Springfield, Missouri.
The Goshen, Indiana and Shreveport, Louisiana facilities were closed in the third quarter of 2005. We expect Glens Falls, New Yorks closure to be completed by the end of the first quarter of 2006 and Springfield, Missouris closure within
the next 24 months. In 2005, we announced our intent to construct a new distribution center in Social Circle, Georgia that we will lease when completed. This facility will be approximately 1.3 million square feet and we expect its completion within
the next 12 months. Operations at the Conyers and Jonesboro distribution centers in Georgia will be moved to Social Circle when construction is completed. Below is a list of our material manufacturing and distribution facilities as of January 1,
2006, however, it does not include those facilities whose closure is expected to be completed during the first quarter of 2006.

Companys business, consolidated financial position, results of operations, or liquidity.

Part II

Item 5. Market for Registrants Common Equity, Related Stockholder Matters and Issuer Purchases of Equity Securities.

There is no public trading market for our common stock. SCIC, the Companys parent company, is the owner of record of all of our common stock. We do not have any equity compensation plans under which our
securities may be issued. See Note 15 to the Companys consolidated financial statements in Item 8 of this Form 10-K for information regarding SCICs equity compensation plan.

Since our formation in January 2004, we have not paid dividends on our Solo Delaware common stock and we do not anticipate paying cash dividends in the
foreseeable future. In addition, our bank credit facilities and the indenture governing our 8.5% Senior Subordinated Notes due 2014 restrict our ability to pay dividends on our common stock.

Item 7. Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.

On
February 27, 2004, with an effective date of February 22, 2004, we acquired 100.0% of the outstanding capital stock of SF Holdings (SF Holdings Acquisition). For the year ended December 31, 2004, our consolidated financial position and
results of operations include the accounts of SF Holdings for the period from February 22, 2004 to January 2, 2005.

In June 2005, the
Companys Board of Directors approved a change in the Companys fiscal year from the year ended December 31 to the 52- or 53-week period ending on the last Sunday in December except that fiscal year 2005 ended on January 1, 2006. All
subsequent fiscal years will end on the last Sunday in December. The fiscal quarters for 2006 will be the thirteen weeks ending April 2, 2006, July 2, 2006, October 1, 2006 and December 31, 2006.

In our discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations we refer to the year ended January 1, 2006 as Fiscal Year
2005, the year ended December 31, 2004 as Fiscal Year 2004 and the year ended December 31, 2003 as Fiscal Year 2003.

Since the 2004 SF Holdings Acquisition, management has been focused on (1) protecting our position with key customers, (2) implementing detailed synergy plans for all major functional areas and (3) developing systems and processes that will
enable us to consolidate our operations. All of these efforts are against a background of rapidly rising raw material and energy costs.

We
reported an $8.2 million net loss for Fiscal Year 2005, that includes $15.1 million of charges, ($25.2 million before tax) related to integration efforts attributed to the SF Holdings Acquisition.

In addition to the acquisition related charges, resin and energy prices continued to rise throughout the year, influenced by general market conditions
for plastic resins and the price of petroleum products that were influenced by the hurricanes in the gulf region of the United States. For the primary resins we use in our products, market prices increased over 15% in 2005. We did implement a number
of sales price increases in an attempt to offset the higher raw material costs.

With the majority of our integration activities now
completed, in 2006 we expect to focus on providing increased service to our customers, continuing to streamline logistics processes and procedures and positioning ourselves to quickly respond to meet competitive challenges as they arise.

Fiscal Year 2005 Compared to Fiscal Year 2004

Amounts for Fiscal Year 2004 include the results of SF Holdings from February 22, 2004 to January 2, 2005. Therefore, our
discussion of 2005 results compared to 2004 results are partially driven by the effect of including SF Holdings results for 12 months in 2005 versus 10 months in 2004.

Net sales

Net sales increased $321.3
million, or 15.2%, to $2,437.7 million for Fiscal Year 2005 compared to $2,116.4 million for Fiscal Year 2004. This includes an increase of $185.8 million representing two additional months of SF Holdings sales in 2005 versus 2004. The
remaining increase in net sales of $135.5 million, or 6.4%, reflects a 6.0% increase in average realized sales price and a 0.4% increase in sales volume as compared to the prior year. The increase in average realized sales price reflects the impact
of pricing increases implemented in response to higher raw material costs.

Gross profit

Gross profit increased $23.9 million, or 7.9%, to $327.1 million for Fiscal Year 2005 compared to $303.2 million for Fiscal Year 2004. This includes a
$21.4 million increase resulting from the SF Holdings Acquisition. Excluding the effect of the SF Holdings Acquisition, gross profit increased $2.5 million. As a percentage of net sales, gross profit decreased 0.9% to 13.4% in 2005 versus 14.3% in
2004 impacted by our inability to pass through all raw material and transportation cost increases to our customers due to competitive pressure.

Selling, general and administrative expenses

Selling, general and administrative expenses increased $31.5 million, or 13.5%, to $265.2 million in Fiscal Year 2005 compared to $233.6 million in Fiscal
Year 2004. This includes an increase of $15.6 million representing two additional months of SF Holdings expenses in 2005 versus 2004. Included in selling, general and administrative expenses are integration costs related to the SF Holdings
Acquisition. Integration costs were approximately $25.2 million for Fiscal Year 2005 compared to $30.1 million for Fiscal Year 2004. Excluding the change in integration costs and the impact of SF Holdings described above, the increase in selling,
general and administrative expenses of $20.8 million primarily reflects additional professional fees associated with our information technology efforts combined with increased marketing funds principally for our consumer-based customers.

Contract dispute resolution

In
2004, contract dispute resolution costs of $25.4 million represent the results of a settlement with our former logistics provider. This amount includes agreed-upon payments totaling $11.75 million, $4.4 million of receivables forgiven and $9.3
million of litigation-related expenses and contract execution costs.

Gain on sale of property, plant and equipment

Gain on sale of property, plant and equipment was $5.7 million in Fiscal Year 2005 compared to $7.6 million in Fiscal Year 2004. The current year includes
a $6.8 million gain on the sale of land and buildings related to facilities previously closed as part of the consolidation of manufacturing, distribution and warehousing operations, while the prior year includes gains on the sale of undeveloped land
located in Santa Paula, California and Ada, Oklahoma.

Interest expense, net

Interest expense, net increased $17.1 million, or 30.7%, to $72.6 million for Fiscal Year 2005 compared to $55.5 million for Fiscal Year 2004. This
resulted from (i) two additional months of interest expense in 2005 associated with the debt issued in connection with the SF Holdings Acquisition, (ii) additional interest on the term loan under the Senior Credit Facility due to higher interest
rates, partially offset by lower average outstanding balances, and (iii) additional interest on the revolving credit facility under the Senior Credit Facility due to higher interest rates and a higher average outstanding balance.

Prepayment penalties

Prepayment
penalties were $30.7 million for Fiscal Year 2004. The prepayment fees resulted from the early extinguishment of the 7.08% senior notes due 2011 and the 3.67% Yen-denominated senior notes due 2008.

Loss on debt extinguishment

Loss on
debt extinguishment was $0.9 million for Fiscal Year 2004. This loss was due to the write off of debt issuance costs resulting from the extinguishment of the 7.08% senior notes due 2011 and the 3.67% Yen-denominated senior notes due 2008.

Income tax provision

Income tax provision was a benefit of $2.3 million in Fiscal Year 2005 compared to a provision of $17.1 million in Fiscal Year 2004. This change was primarily due to the change in tax filing status of Solo Illinois, effective as of January
1, 2004, from a subchapter S corporation to a subchapter C corporation under the U.S. Internal Revenue Code. This change resulted in the recognition of $28.3 million in net deferred tax liabilities and related deferred income tax expense in Fiscal
Year 2004. This expense was partially offset by an $11.4 million tax benefit of Fiscal Year 2004 operating losses.

Fiscal Year 2004 Compared to Fiscal Year 2003

Amounts for Fiscal Year 2004 include the results of SF Holdings from February 22, 2004 to January 2, 2005. Therefore, our discussion of 2004 results
compared to 2003 results is primarily driven by the effect of including SF Holdings results from the acquisition date.

Net sales

Net sales increased $1,236.7 million, or 140.6%, to $2,116.4 million for Fiscal Year 2004 compared to $879.7 million for Fiscal Year
2003. Net sales increased $1,158.9 million due to increased sales volume as a direct result of the SF Holdings Acquisition. The remaining increase in net sales of $77.8 million, or 8.8%, reflected a 7.0% increase in average realized sales price and
a 1.8% increase in sales volume as compared to Fiscal Year 2003. The increase in average realized sales price reflects a favorable shift in product mix combined with the impact of price increases implemented in response to higher raw material costs.

Gross profit

Gross
profit increased $192.2 million, or 173.1%, to $303.2 million for Fiscal Year 2004 compared to $111.0 million for Fiscal Year 2003. As a percentage of net sales, gross profit increased 1.7% to 14.3% in Fiscal Year 2004 versus 12.6% in Fiscal Year
2003. Gross profit increased $171.1 million as a direct result of the SF Holdings Acquisition. The remaining increase in gross profit of $21.1 million was primarily the result of a shift to a more favorable product mix combined with higher average
realized sales prices partially offset by higher raw material costs and increased transportation costs.

Selling, general and
administrative expenses

Selling, general and administrative expenses increased $132.9 million, or 132.0%, to $233.6 million in Fiscal
Year 2004 compared to $100.7 million in Fiscal Year 2003. This increase includes $89.9 million of expenses associated with the operations of SF Holdings. The remaining increase of $43.0 million resulted primarily from (i) $30.1 million of costs
associated with the integration of support functions and systems of SF Holdings in connection with the acquisition, (ii) $8.7 million of costs associated with higher employee salaries, primarily related to the transfer of employees from the acquired
companies to Solo Illinois, and higher health insurance costs, and (iii) $2.8 million of management fees to SCIC.

Contract dispute
resolution

In Fiscal Year 2004, contract dispute resolution costs of $25.4 million represent the results of a settlement with our
former logistics provider. This amount includes agreed-upon payments totaling $11.75 million, $4.4 million of receivables forgiven and $9.3 million of litigation-related expenses and contract execution costs.

Gain on sale of property, plant and equipment

Gain on sale of property, plant and equipment was $7.6 million in Fiscal Year 2004 compared to $1.6 million in Fiscal Year 2003. The increase was primarily due to the 2004 gain on sale of undeveloped land located in Santa Paula, California
and Ada, Oklahoma.

Interest expense, net

Interest expense, net increased $41.1 million, or 284.8%, to $55.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2004 compared to $14.4 million for Fiscal Year 2003. This increase was primarily driven by higher debt
balances in Fiscal Year 2004 used to fund the SF Holdings Acquisition. Total long-term debt increased $805.7 million to $1,014.5 million at December 31, 2004, compared to $208.8 million at December 31, 2003.

Prepayment penalties

Prepayment
penalties were $30.7 million for Fiscal Year 2004. The prepayment fees resulted from the early extinguishment of the 7.08% senior notes due 2011 and the 3.67% Yen-denominated senior notes due 2008.

Loss on debt extinguishment

Loss on
debt extinguishment was $0.9 million for Fiscal Year 2004. This loss was due to the write off of debt issuance costs resulting from the extinguishment of the 7.08% senior notes due 2011 and the 3.67% Yen-denominated senior notes due 2008.

Income tax provision

Income tax provision was $17.1 million in Fiscal Year 2004 compared to $3.2 million in Fiscal Year 2003. This increase was primarily due to the change in tax filing status of Solo Illinois from a subchapter S
corporation to a subchapter C corporation under the Internal Revenue Code in the United States effective as of January 1, 2004. This change resulted in the recognition of $28.3 million in net deferred tax liabilities and related income tax expense
in Fiscal Year 2004. This increase was partially offset by an $11.4 million tax benefit of Fiscal Year 2004 operating losses.

Liquidity and Capital
Resources

Historically, we have relied on cash flows from operations and our revolving credit borrowings to finance our working capital
requirements and capital expenditures. During the first half of 2005, because of escalating resin prices and increased sales and production going into the summer months, we relied significantly more on the revolving credit facilities. However,
during the second half of 2005, the outstanding balance on our revolving credit facility under the Senior Credit Facility was decreased by $55.3 million as cash flows from operations improved from the end of the second quarter of 2005.

Operating Cash Flows

Net cash
provided by operating activities during Fiscal Year 2005 was $2.7 million compared to net cash used in operating activities of $23.8 million during Fiscal Year 2004. The year over year change primarily resulted from a lower net loss in Fiscal Year
2005 of $8.2 million. We recognized a $49.9 million net loss in Fiscal Year 2004, which was driven by (i) $30.7 million of prepayment penalties for the extinguishment of debt in conjunction with the SF Holdings Acquisition, (ii) $25.4 million of
expense for the resolution of a contract dispute, and (iii) $30.1 million of expense related to the integration of SF Holdings. Net cash provided by operating activities during Fiscal Year 2005 included agreed-upon payments of $11.75 million
resulting from the February 2005 contract dispute settlement and related payments of approximately $3.5 million for attorney fees and contract execution costs.

Working capital increased $75.7 million to $477.2 million at January 1, 2006 from $401.5 million at December 31, 2004. Working capital increased as a result of increased inventory levels and increased accounts
receivable, partially offset by a decrease in accrued expenses and other current liabilities. The activity in inventory and accounts payable was primarily driven by higher raw material costs combined with our planned inventory build designed to meet
customer demand as we rationalized facilities. Accounts receivable activity was driven by higher net sales during the fourth quarter of 2005 compared to the fourth quarter of 2004. The decrease in accrued expenses and other current liabilities was
primarily the effect of $14.1 million accrued as of December 31, 2004 for the contract dispute resolution with our former logistics provider, which was paid in 2005.

Investing Cash Flows

Net cash used in investing activities during Fiscal Year 2005 was $30.9 million
compared to $906.6 million during Fiscal Year 2004. In Fiscal Year 2005, net cash used was primarily the result of $53.1 million of capital expenditures offset by proceeds received in conjunction with the sale of facilities closed through the
integration process. In Fiscal Year 2004, net cash used included $872.1 million for the SF Holdings Acquisition.

Capital expenditures
during Fiscal Year 2005 were $53.1 million compared to $42.2 million during Fiscal Year 2004. Capital expenditures during Fiscal Year 2005 included $20.1 million for new production equipment, $24.1 million for integration related projects, $1.9
million for routine capital improvements, $4.3 million for renovations and equipment conversions, $1.9 million for building and land improvements, and $0.8 million for various other projects. Capital expenditures were primarily funded by borrowings
under our revolving credit facilities.

Financing Cash Flows

Net cash provided by financing activities during Fiscal Year 2005 was $24.5 million compared to $944.7 million during Fiscal Year 2004. In Fiscal Year 2005, net cash provided by financing activities was primarily from
borrowings under our revolving credit facilities and was partially offset by repayments of our term loans. In Fiscal Year 2005, net borrowings under the domestic revolving credit facility increased $33.0 million. The increased funding was used to
support working capital requirements resulting from increased sales in addition to increased inventory levels necessitated by our manufacturing facilities integration.

In Fiscal Year 2004, net cash provided by financing activities primarily came from borrowings used to finance the SF Holdings Acquisition, including the 8.5% senior subordinated notes and proceeds from the sale of
common stock, and was partially offset by the extinguishment of pre-acquisition debt, payment of debt issuance costs and payment of dividends. On February 27, 2004, we extinguished $160.0 million of 7.08% senior notes due June 30, 2011 and $44.2
million of 3.67% Yen-denominated senior notes due July 16, 2008, resulting in prepayment penalties of $26.9 million and $3.8 million, respectively.

The following is a summary of long-term debt at January 1, 2006 and December 31, 2004 (in thousands):

Canadian Credit Facility

On September 24, 2004, Solo Cup Canada Inc. (formerly known as Lily Cups Inc.), a Canadian subsidiary of the Company, entered into a credit agreement
(Canadian Credit Facility) which provides for a term loan and a revolving credit facility with a maximum credit borrowing of CAD $30.0 million (approximately US $23.8 million) subject to borrowing base limitations and satisfaction of
other conditions of borrowing. The term borrowings have 11 mandatory quarterly repayments of CAD $0.482 million every January 1, April 1, July 1 and October 1 beginning January 1, 2005, with a final payment of CAD $8.2 million due September 24,
2007. Both the revolving credit and term loan borrowings have a final maturity date of September 24, 2007. The Canadian Credit Facility is secured by all existing and thereafter acquired real and personal tangible assets of Solo Cup Canada Inc.
Borrowings under the revolving credit facility bear interest at the Canadian prime rate plus 0.50% or the Canadian bankers acceptance rate plus 1.75%, at our option. Term loan borrowings bear interest at the Canadian prime rate plus 0.75% or the
Canadian bankers acceptance rate plus 2.00%, at our option. As of January 1, 2006, borrowings under the revolving credit facility and the term loan carried effective interest rates of 5.11% and 5.36%, respectively. As of January 1, 2006, CAD $13.4
million (approximately US $11.5 million) was available under the revolving facility and the term loan balance was CAD $11.1 million (approximately US $9.5 million).

Senior Credit Facility

On February 27, 2004, we entered into credit facilities comprised of a $150.0
million revolving credit facility maturing in 2010 and a $650.0 million term loan facility maturing in 2011 (Senior Credit Facility). The revolver is principally used for working capital purposes, and the term loan was used to finance
the SF Holdings acquisition and related transactions.

On March 31, 2005, we entered into an agreement (Amendment No. 1) to
amend the Senior Credit Facility. Amendment No. 1 changed the borrowing margin used to calculate interest on the term loans under the Senior Credit Facility. For purposes of calculating interest, term loans under the Senior Credit Facility are
designated as Eurodollar rate loans or, in certain circumstances, base rate loans. Under the original agreement, Eurodollar rate loans bore interest at the British Bankers Association Interest Settlement Rate for deposits in dollars plus a borrowing
margin. Base rate loans bore interest at (a) the greater of (i) the rate most recently announced by Bank of America as its prime rate or (ii) the Federal Funds Rate plus 1/2of 1% per annum, plus (b) a borrowing margin. The margin for term loans was a range based on the Companys leverage ratio. For Eurodollar rate loans,
the range was 2.25% to 2.50%. For base rate loans, the range was 1.25% to 1.50%. The terms of Amendment No. 1 provided that the borrowing margin for term loans be 2.00% on Eurodollar rate loans and 1.00% on base rate loans.

On October 14, 2005, we entered into an agreement (Amendment No. 2) to amend the Senior Credit Facility, as amended by Amendment No. 1, dated
as of March 31, 2005. Amendment No. 2 changed the borrowing margin used to calculate interest on the term loans under the Senior Credit Facility. Amendment No. 2 established two different levels for determining the applicable borrowing margin
interest rate that the Company would pay on its term loan based upon the respective ratings the Company receives from Moodys and Standard & Poors. Level 1 is 2.25% for Eurodollar rate loans and 1.25% for base rate loans, when
Moodys rating on the Company is at least B1 and Standard & Poors rating is at least B+. Level 2 is 2.50% for Eurodollar rate loans and 1.50% for base rate loans, when Moodys rating on the Company is below B1 and Standard &
Poors rating is below B+. If the Company only receives a change in rating from one agency or if the agencies ratings are split across pricing levels 1 and 2, then the Company will pay interest at level 2 pricing. Prior to Amendment No.
2, on October 6, 2005, Moodys changed its rating on the Company from B1 to B2; therefore, the Company began paying level 2 pricing effective with Amendment No. 2.

As of January 1, 2006, the weighted average annual interest rate applicable to Eurodollar rate loans was 6.45% and the weighted average annual interest rate applicable to base rate loans was 9.00%. During the fiscal
year ended January 1, 2006, the weighted average annual interest rate for the Senior Credit Facility was 6.57%.

Amendment No. 1 also
changed the schedule for quarterly principal payments. The original agreement provided scheduled principal payments of $1.625 million per quarter through February 27, 2006, $6.25 million per quarter from May 27, 2006 through February 27, 2008, and
$12.5 million per quarter from May 27, 2008 through November 27, 2010, with a balloon payment of $449.5 million due on February 27, 2011. The terms of Amendment No. 1 provide for scheduled principal payments of $1.625 million per quarter through
November 27, 2010, with a balloon payment of $606.125 million due on February 27, 2011. All mandatory quarterly prepayments have been made to date.

---

Amendment No. 2 also revised the ratios of the financial covenants that the Company is required to
maintain by allowing lower ratios of Consolidated EBITDA to Consolidated Cash Interest Expense in certain quarters, and by allowing higher ratios of Average Total Debt to Consolidated EBITDA in certain quarters (all as such capitalized terms are
defined in the original Senior Credit Facility), in each case as set forth in the amendment filed as Exhibit 99.1 in Form 8-K, dated October 14, 2005. We are currently in compliance with all covenants under the Senior Credit Facility.

A commitment fee of 0.50% on the unused portion of the revolving credit facility is payable on a quarterly basis.

We may make optional prepayments to either the revolving credit facility or the term loan in million dollar increments with a minimum prepayment of $10.0
million.

We are required to make a mandatory annual prepayment of the term loan facility and the revolving credit facility in an amount
equal to 50.0% of excess cash flow, as defined, when the consolidated leverage ratio, as defined, is 3.5x or greater, or 25.0% of excess cash flow when the Companys consolidated leverage ratio is less than 3.5x. In addition, we are required to
make a mandatory prepayment of the term loan facility and the revolving credit facility with, among other things: (i) 100.0% of the net cash proceeds of any property or asset sale, subject to certain exceptions and reinvestment requirements; (ii)
100.0% of the net cash proceeds of any extraordinary receipts, as defined, subject to certain exceptions and reinvestment requirements; (iii) 100.0% of the net cash proceeds of certain debt issuances, subject to certain exceptions; and (iv) 50.0% of
the net cash proceeds from the issuance of additional equity interests when the consolidated leverage ratio is 3.5x or greater, or 25.0% of such proceeds when the consolidated leverage ratio is less than 3.5x. Mandatory prepayments will be applied
first to the term loans on a pro rata basis, and thereafter to the revolving loans. For Fiscal Year 2005, we were not required to make a mandatory annual prepayment or any prepayments based on excess cash flow, dispositions of assets or
extraordinary receipts.

Our obligations under the credit facilities are guaranteed by our parent, SCIC, and each existing direct and
indirect subsidiary of SCIC other than the Company, subject to certain exceptions. In addition, each significant domestic subsidiary of the Company subsequently formed is required to guarantee those obligations.

The Senior Credit Facility is secured by:



| | (1) | all present and future property and assets, real and personal, of the Company, its restricted subsidiaries, and each guarantor, subject to certain exceptions;
| | --- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| | (2) | a pledge of 100.0% of the stock of each of SCICs present and future direct and indirect domestic subsidiaries and a lien on 66.0% of the stock of each controlled foreign
corporation subsidiary, as defined;
| | --- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| | (3) | all present and future intercompany debt of the Company, its restricted subsidiaries, and each guarantor; and
| | --- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| | (4) | all proceeds of the assets described in clauses (1), (2) and (3) above. Under the Senior Credit Facility, the Company is required to meet certain restrictive financial covenants,
including a maximum consolidated leverage ratio, minimum consolidated interest coverage ratio and maximum capital expenditures. The Senior Credit Facility also contains other various covenants that limit, or restrict, the Companys ability to,
among other things:
| | --- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | incur additional indebtedness, including guarantees;
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | create, incur, assume or permit to exist liens on property and assets;
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | make loans and investments and enter into acquisitions and joint ventures;
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | engage in sales, transfers and other dispositions of the Companys property or assets;
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | prepay, redeem or repurchase the Companys debt, or amend or modify the terms of certain material debt or certain other agreements;
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | declare or pay dividends to, make distributions to, or make redemptions and repurchases from, equity holders; and
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | restrict the ability of the Companys subsidiaries to pay dividends and make distributions.
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The Senior Credit Facility requires us to fix the interest rate for a portion of the borrowings.
Accordingly, on March 10, 2004, we entered into an interest rate swap agreement to hedge the cash flows associated with the interest payments on $180.0 million of the Eurodollar rate based borrowings at an average rate of 2.375% plus applicable
margin through March 31, 2007. In June 2005, we entered into a forward-starting receive-variable, pay-fixed interest rate swap with a notional amount of $50.0 million. This swap agreement is effective March 31, 2007 through March 31, 2010. On March
31, 2005, we entered into an interest rate cap agreement with a total notional amount of $35.0 million. Under this interest rate cap agreement, we receive variable interest rate payments when the three-month Eurodollar rises above 5.0%. This
interest rate cap agreement is in effect through March 31, 2006.

8.5% Senior Subordinated Notes

On February 27, 2004, we issued $325.0 million of 8.5% Senior Subordinated Notes due February 15, 2014 (the Notes), with interest paid
semi-annually every February 15 and August 15. Under the indenture governing the Notes, subject to exceptions, we must meet a minimum fixed charge coverage ratio to incur additional indebtedness.

Prior to February 15, 2007, we may, on any one or more occasions, redeem up to 35% of the aggregate principal amount of the Notes issued under the
indenture at a redemption price of 108.5% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest, from the net proceeds of one or more equity offerings. Otherwise, the Notes are not redeemable until February 15, 2009. Starting on February
15, 2009, we have the option to redeem all or a portion of the Notes at a redemption price equal to a percentage of the principal amount thereof plus accrued and unpaid interest. In the event of this kind of an optional redemption, the redemption
price as a percentage of the principal amount would be:



|                                                        |  |                  |  
|------------------------------------------------------- |  | ---------------- | -
|Period                                                  |  | Redemption price |  
|For the twelve-month period beginning February 15, 2009 |  | 104.250          | %
|For the twelve-month period beginning February 15, 2010 |  | 102.833          | %
|For the twelve-month period beginning February 15, 2011 |  | 101.417          | %
|February 16, 2012 and thereafter                        |  | 100.000          | %

The Notes provide that upon the occurrence of a change in control, as defined, the holders will
have an option to require the redemption of the Notes at a redemption price equal to 101.0% of the principal amount thereof plus accrued interest. The indenture governing the Notes contains various covenants which, subject to exception, prohibit, or
limit, among other things:



| |  |  | asset sales,
| | - |  | ------------



| |  |  | changes of control,
| | - |  | -------------------



| |  |  | dividend payments,

Short-term debt

At January 1, 2006, we had approximately 654 million yen (approximately US $5.5 million) of short-term borrowings with Japanese banks.
These short-term borrowings have various termination dates and have no restrictive covenants. The interest rate on these borrowings ranges between 0.71% and 1.38% as of January 1, 2006.

contract specified all significant terms, including fixed or minimum quantities to be purchased, a pricing structure and appropriate timing of the transaction. Purchase orders made in the ordinary course of business are excluded from the above
table.

Other Contingencies

The Company has entered into agreements with the State of Illinois (State) and the City of Chicago (City) relating to the acquisition and development of certain property of the Company located
in the City. Pursuant to these agreements, the State and City provided certain grants to the Company, paid certain costs on behalf of the Company and undertook certain obligations relating to the property. Under these agreements, the Company is
required to fulfill certain obligations relating to the property, which, if not fulfilled, could result in the Company being required to repay the amounts granted or paid by the City and the State.

Outlook

Management believes that
cash generated by operations, amounts available under credit facilities and funds generated from asset sales should be sufficient to meet our expected operating needs, planned capital expenditures, payments in conjunction with our lease commitments
and debt service requirements over the next twelve months. We expect that our 2006 capital expenditures will be approximately $50 to $55 million and contributions to our defined benefit plans will be approximately $14 million.

In March 2006, we received a commitment for a senior secured second lien term loan facility of $80.0 million (Second Lien Facility).
Effective March 27, 2006, the Company and SCIC entered into Amendment No. 3 to the Senior Credit Facility (Amendment No. 3). Amendment No. 3 was necessary to permit the Company to enter into the Second Lien Facility. Amendment No. 3 also
revised the ratios of the financial covenants that the Company is required to maintain by allowing lower ratios in certain quarters of Consolidated EBITDA to Consolidated Cash Interest Expense, and by allowing higher ratios in certain quarters of
Average Total Debt to Consolidated EBITDA (all as such capitalized terms are defined in the original Senior Credit Facility). The continued effectiveness of Amendment No. 3 is contingent upon the Company executing the Second Lien Facility by April
15, 2006.

The Second Lien Facility loan proceeds will be used to reduce amounts outstanding under the domestic revolving credit facility
under the Senior Credit Facility. As of March 28, 2006, the total unused capacity of our domestic revolving credit facility under the Senior Credit Facility was $40.4 million. Amounts available under the domestic revolving credit facility under the
Senior Credit Facility will be used to fund increased working capital requirements caused primarily by significant increases in raw material prices and fuel prices. The Second Lien Facility will have a floating interest rate and the principal will
be due upon maturity in 2012.

For 2006, we expect that raw materials and energy-related costs, particularly with respect to transportation
and production costs, will likely continue to be a source of uncertainty for our industry.

Off-balance sheet arrangements

During September 2005, we entered into an agreement for the sale and leaseback of three properties, including one plant and two warehouses. One of the
leases expired in December 2005 and the other two expire in December 2006. Net property, plant and equipment was reduced by the carrying values of the properties sold, which amounted to approximately $6.2 million. The net cash proceeds received from
the sale were approximately $15.3 million; $6.8 million of this resulting gain was recognized in September 2005 and $2.3 million was recorded as a deferred credit. The remaining deferred credit as of January 1, 2006 of $1.8 million is included in
other long-term liabilities and is being amortized to income as an offset to rent expense.

In addition, we have letters of credit that are obtained to ensure the performance and payment to third
parties in accordance with specified terms and conditions. Under the Senior Credit Facility, we have the ability to issue up to $40.0 million in letters of credit, and all issued letters of credit are secured by the facility. As of January 1, 2006,
approximately $16.2 million of standby letters of credit were outstanding under the facility. These standby letters of credit are used to support our workers compensation insurance programs. We are not required to provide cash collateral for
letters of credit issued, but must adhere to the financial covenants set forth in the Senior Credit Facility indenture.

Net Operating Loss
Carryforwards

As of January 1, 2006, we had approximately $238.1 million of U.S. federal tax net operating loss carryforwards that
expire between 2016 and 2025. Approximately $103.5 million of such carryforwards are subject to the provisions of Internal Revenue Code Section 382. Although future earnings cannot be predicted with certainty, management currently believes that
realization of the net deferred tax assets is more likely than not.

Critical Accounting Estimates

In preparing our consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, we must
make decisions that impact the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosures. Such decisions include the selection of the appropriate accounting principles to be applied and the assumptions on which to base
accounting estimates. In reaching such decisions, we apply judgments based on our understanding and analysis of the relevant circumstances, current developments and historical experience. Actual amounts could differ from those estimated at the time
the consolidated financial statements are prepared. Management has discussed the development and selection of these critical accounting estimates with the Board of Directors and the Board of Directors has reviewed this disclosure.

The Companys significant accounting policies are described in Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements in Item 8. Some of these significant
accounting policies require us to make difficult, subjective or complex judgments or estimates. An accounting estimate is considered to be critical if it meets both of the following criteria: (i) the estimate requires assumptions about matters that
are highly uncertain at the time the accounting estimate is made and (ii) different estimates reasonably could have been used or changes in the estimate that are reasonably likely to occur from period to period would have a material impact on the
presentation of our financial condition, changes in financial condition or results of operations. Our critical accounting estimates include the following:

Accounts receivable valuation.We value accounts receivable, net of an allowance for doubtful accounts. Each quarter, we estimate our ability to collect outstanding receivables and establish an allowance for
doubtful accounts that reflects our best estimate of the amount of probable credit losses in our existing accounts receivable. In doing so, we evaluate the age of our receivables, past collection history, current financial condition of key customers
and economic conditions. Based on this evaluation, we establish a reserve for specific accounts receivable that we believe are uncollectible, as well as an estimate of uncollectible receivables not specifically known. Our estimate of the allowance
for doubtful accounts is a critical accounting estimate because it is highly susceptible to change from period to period. In addition, it requires management to make judgments about the future financial condition of our customers.

Deterioration in the financial condition of any key customer or a significant slowdown in the economy could have a material negative impact on our
ability to collect a portion or all of the accounts receivable. We believe that analysis of historical trends and current knowledge of potential collection problems provides us with sufficient information to establish a reasonable estimate of an
allowance for doubtful accounts. However, since we cannot predict with certainty future changes in the financial stability of our customers, our actual future losses from uncollectible accounts may differ from our estimates. In the event we
determined that a smaller or larger balance of the allowance for uncollectible accounts was appropriate, we would record a credit or charge to selling, general and administrative expenses in the period in which we made such a determination.

Customer discounts and allowances.Certain customer discounts and allowances are earned and payable to customers if a specified
level of annual sales volume is met. We record such customer discounts and allowances based on the estimated and probable sales volume for the annual period. The amounts are recorded as a reduction of net sales based on the actual customers
sales volume during the period. If actual annual sales volume differs from management estimates, gross margin and operating income could be affected.

---

Vendor incentives. Certain vendor incentives are earned only if a specified level of annual
purchases is achieved. We record such incentives during the interim periods based on the actual results achieved on a year-to-date basis compared to targets or specified levels of purchases. The amounts are recorded as a reduction of cost of goods
sold based on the purchase volume during the interim period. If actual purchase volume differs from management estimates, gross margin and operating income could be affected.

Inventory reserves. We establish reserves for our inventory to reflect those conditions when the cost of the inventory is not expected to be
recovered. We review such circumstances when products are not expected to be saleable based on criteria established by our quality assurance standards. The reserve for these products is equal to all or a portion of the cost of the inventory based on
the specific facts and circumstances. We monitor inventory levels on a regular basis and record changes in inventory reserves as part of costs of goods sold.

Income taxes. We account for income taxes in accordance with the asset and liability method under Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes.
Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributed to differences between the financial statement and income tax bases of assets and liabilities and tax credit and operating loss carryforwards using
enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which the differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred income tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the
period that includes the enactment date. The recoverability of deferred tax assets is dependent upon our assessment of whether it is more likely than not that sufficient future taxable income will be generated in the relevant tax jurisdiction to
utilize the deferred tax asset. We review our internal forecasted sales and pre-tax earnings estimates to make our assessment about the utilization of deferred tax assets. In the event we determine that our future taxable income will not be
sufficient to utilize the deferred tax asset, a valuation allowance will be recorded. If that assessment changes, a charge or a benefit would be recorded in the statement of operations.

Impact of Recently Issued Accounting Standards

In November 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards
Board (FASB) issued SFAS No. 151, Inventory Costs-an amendment of ARB No. 43, Chapter 4. SFAS No. 151 amends Accounting Research Bulletin (ARB) No. 43, Chapter 4, to clarify that abnormal amounts of idle facility
expense, freight, handling costs and wasted materials (spoilage) should be recognized as current-period charges. In addition, SFAS No. 151 requires that allocation of fixed production overhead to inventory be based on the normal capacity of the
production facilities. SFAS No. 151 is effective for inventory costs incurred during fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2005. We will adopt SFAS No. 151 at the beginning of our 2006 fiscal year. We do not expect the adoption of this statement to
have a material effect on the Companys consolidated financial position and results of operations.

In December 2004, the FASB issued
SFAS No. 123 (Revised 2004), Share-Based Payment (SFAS 123R). SFAS 123R is a revision of SFAS No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation, and supersedes Accounting Principles Board Opinion 25
(APB 25). Among other items, SFAS 123R eliminates the use of APB 25 and the intrinsic value method of accounting, and requires companies to recognize the cost of employee services received in exchange for awards of equity instruments,
based on the grant date fair value of those awards, in the financial statements. For nonpublic companies, as defined, the effective date of SFAS 123R is the beginning of the first annual reporting period that begins after December 15, 2005, which is
the first quarter 2006 for calendar year companies, although early adoption is allowed. We will adopt SFAS 123R in the first quarter of 2006 under the prospective method. Under the provisions of SFAS 123, we calculated our pro forma
disclosure using the minimum value method, which excludes any effect of volatility on value; therefore, the prospective method of adopting SFAS 123R is required. Under the prospective method, compensation cost is recognized in the
financial statements beginning with the effective date, based on the requirements of SFAS 123R for all share-based payments granted, modified, repurchased or cancelled after that date. As it relates to our existing stock options, we believe that the
adoption of SFAS 123R will not have a material effect on our consolidated balance sheet, statement of operations or cash flows. See Note 15 to our consolidated financial statements for further information on stock-based compensation plans.

Item 7a. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk.

In the ordinary course of business, the
Company has financial instruments that are sensitive to market risk, which consists primarily of interest rate risk associated with its variable rate debt. The Senior Credit Facility and the Canadian Credit Facility both include a revolving and term
credit facility, which bear interest at a variable rate. The interest rate on the Senior Credit Facility is either Eurodollar rate based (1, 2, 3 or 6 months) plus a margin or the banks base rate plus a margin, whichever the Company selects.
For the term loan, the margin is 2.25% or 2.50% on the Eurodollar rate borrowings and 1.25% or 1.50% on the base rate borrowings, depending on the Companys public debt ratings. For the revolving credit facility, the margin on the Eurodollar
rate borrowings varies from 2.0% to 2.75% and the margin on base rate borrowings varies from 1.0% to 1.75%, depending on our leverage ratio. The Canadian revolving facility bears interest at the Canadian prime rate plus 0.50% or Canadian bankers
acceptance rate plus 1.75%, at the Companys option. The term loan bears interest at the Canadian prime rate plus 0.75% or Canadian bankers acceptance rate plus 2.00%, at the Companys option.

The Senior Credit Facility requires us to hedge a portion of the borrowings. On March 10, 2004 with an effective date of March 31, 2004, we entered into
interest rate swap agreements to hedge $180.0 million of Eurodollar rate loans at an average rate of 2.375% plus applicable margin for three years. In June 2005, the Company entered into a forward-starting receive-variable, pay-fixed interest rate
swap with a notional amount of $50.0 million. The variable rate of interest received is the Eurodollar rate. The fixed rate of interest paid is 4.25%. The swap agreement is effective March 31, 2007 through March 31, 2010.

On March 31, 2005, we entered into an interest rate cap agreement with a total notional amount of $35.0 million. Under this interest rate cap agreement,
we receive variable interest rate payments when the three-month Eurodollar rises above 5.0%. This interest rate cap agreement is in effect through March 31, 2006. At January 1, 2006, the interest rate on borrowings under the term loan, excluding the
effect of the interest rate swaps and cap, was 7.03%, and the interest rate on borrowings under the revolving credit facility was 8.07%.

As of January 1, 2006, the outstanding indebtedness under the Senior Credit Facility was $700.3 million and $72.1 million was available under the Senior Credit Facility. As of January 1, 2006, the outstanding indebtedness under the Canadian
Credit facility was CAD $11.6 million (approximately $10.0 million) and CAD $13.4 million (approximately $11.5 million) was available under the Canadian Credit Facility. Based upon these amounts, the annual pre-tax income would change by
approximately $5.0 million as of January 1, 2006 (compared to $4.8 million as of December 31, 2004) for each one-percentage point change in the interest rates applicable to the variable rate debt after giving effect to the interest rate swap
agreements. The level of the exposure to interest rate movements may fluctuate significantly as a result of changes in the amount of indebtedness outstanding under the revolving credit facilities.

Company:

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Solo Cup Company and subsidiaries (the Company) as of January 1, 2006 and December
31, 2004, and the related consolidated statements of operations, shareholders equity, and cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended January 1, 2006. 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

SOLO CUP COMPANY AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS



|(1) | Nature, Formation and Organization of Business
|--- | ----------------------------------------------

Solo Cup Company (Solo Delaware or the Company) was incorporated in Delaware in January 2004 to be the holding company for Solo Cup Company, an Illinois corporation (Solo Illinois) and its subsidiaries,
and for SF Holdings Group, Inc., a Delaware corporation, and its subsidiaries (SF Holdings), which includes Sweetheart Cup Company Inc. (Sweetheart). Solo Delaware is a holding company, the material assets of which are 100%
of the capital stock of Solo Illinois and 100% of the capital stock of SF Holdings. Solo Delaware is a wholly owned subsidiary of Solo Cup Investment Corporation, a Delaware corporation (SCIC). SCC Holding Company LLC, a Delaware limited
liability company (SCC Holding) and Vestar Capital Partners (Vestar) own 67.2% and 32.7% of SCIC, respectively. Company management holds the remaining 0.1% of SCIC.

Solo Cup Company traces its origins to a predecessor company, Solo Illinois, established in 1936. Sweethearts operating history dates from the
founding of a predecessor company in 1911.

Effective February 22, 2004, Solo Illinois became a wholly owned subsidiary of Solo Delaware.
The consolidated financial statements presented herein for 2003 present the results of operations and cash flows of Solo Illinois, which are the same operations as those of the Company under a different capital structure.

On February 27, 2004, with an effective date of February 22, 2004, the Company acquired 100.0% of the outstanding capital stock of SF Holdings (the
SF Holdings Acquisition). For the year ended December 31, 2004, the consolidated financial position and results of operations for the Company include the accounts of SF Holdings from February 22, 2004.

Prior to these transactions, the Company had no operations other than in connection with its formation and the authorization of these transactions.

In June 2005, the Companys Board of Directors approved a change in the Companys fiscal year from the year ended December 31 to
the 52- or 53-week period ending on the last Sunday in December except that Fiscal Year 2005 ended on January 1, 2006. All subsequent fiscal years will end on the last Sunday in December.

In September 2005, Sweetheart Cup Company Inc. changed its name to Solo Cup Operating Corporation. In October 2005, Solo Illinois merged with and into
Solo Cup Operating Corporation (SCOC), and SCOC was the surviving corporation.

Solo Cup Company is a global producer and
marketer of disposable foodservice products and has served the industry for almost 70 years. The Company manufactures a broad product line of cups, lids, food containers, plates, bowls, straws, cutlery, napkins and tablecovers in the industry, with
a majority of its products available in plastic, paper and foam. The Company operates manufacturing facilities and distribution centers in North America, Japan, the United Kingdom and Panama, and sells its products worldwide.



|(2) | Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
|--- | ------------------------------------------



| | (a) | Principles of Consolidation
| | --- | ---------------------------

The
consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Solo Cup Company and its subsidiaries. As of January 1, 2006, all of Solo Cup Companys subsidiaries are wholly owned. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been
eliminated in consolidation.

Assets and liabilities of foreign subsidiaries are translated at current exchange rates with the related
translation adjustments reported in shareholders equity as a component of

SOLO CUP COMPANY AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS



accumulated other comprehensive income (loss). Income and expense accounts and cash flows are translated at the average exchange rate during the period.
Components of shareholders equity are translated at historical exchange rates. Resulting translation gains and losses are recorded in comprehensive income (loss). Gains or losses resulting from foreign currency transactions are recorded in the
Consolidated Statements of Operations.

Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current years
presentation. These reclassifications had no effect on previously reported net income (loss).



| | (b) | Cash and Cash Equivalents
| | --- | -------------------------

Cash equivalents
consist of highly liquid securities with original maturities of thirty days or less. The Company has entered into an agreement with and received grants from the State of Illinois relating to the development of certain properties and training
personnel. The grants received are restricted from withdrawal or usage for any purpose other than that stated in the agreement. Restricted cash related to grants was $1.9 million at December 31, 2004.



| | (c) | Accounts Receivable
| | --- | -------------------

Accounts receivable are
stated net of allowances for doubtful accounts and discounts and do not bear interest. The allowance for doubtful accounts is the Companys best estimate of the amount of probable credit losses in the Companys existing accounts
receivable. The Company determines the allowance based on a specific analysis of collectibility and historical write-off experience. Account balances are charged off against the allowance after all reasonable means of collection have been exhausted
and the potential for recovery is considered remote.



| | (d) | Inventories
| | --- | -----------

Inventories are stated at the
lower of cost or market, using the first-in, first-out (FIFO) method.



| | (e) | Vendor Incentives
| | --- | -----------------

Certain vendor incentives
are earned only if a specified level of annual purchases is achieved. The Company records such incentives during the interim periods based on the actual results achieved on a year-to-date basis compared to targets or specified levels of purchases.
The amounts are recorded as a reduction of cost of goods sold based on the purchase volume during the interim period.



| | (f) | Property, Plant and Equipment
| | --- | -----------------------------

Property,
plant and equipment are stated at cost. Plant and equipment under capital leases are stated at the present value of minimum lease payments. Depreciation on property, plant and equipment is calculated using the straight-line method over the estimated
useful lives of the assets. Amortization of assets held under capital leases is included within depreciation expense. Buildings are depreciated over 30 to 50 years, depending upon the construction of the building. Leasehold improvements are
amortized over the lives of the corresponding leases. Machinery and equipment are depreciated over three to 10 years. The estimated useful life for building and improvements and machinery and equipment under capital leases is the lesser of the lease
term or estimated asset useful life. Costs for repairs and maintenance are expensed as incurred. Gains and losses on the sales of property, plant and equipment are recorded as a component of operating income.

The Company capitalizes interest costs, when appropriate, as a component of construction in progress.

SOLO CUP COMPANY AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS



| | (g) | Spare Parts
| | --- | -----------

The Company capitalizes spare
parts purchases and expenses them as the parts are used. Prior to October 2, 2005, the Company expensed spare parts purchased for the Solo Illinois legacy plants. In the fourth quarter of 2005, the Company recognized a $5.8 million reduction to cost
of goods sold as the result of capitalizing the inventory of spare parts on hand at the beginning of that period.



| | (h) | Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets
| | --- | ------------------------------------

Goodwill represents the excess of costs over the fair value of net assets of businesses acquired. Goodwill and intangible assets acquired in a purchase business combination and determined to have an indefinite useful life are not amortized,
but instead are tested for impairment at least annually in accordance with the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 142. SFAS No. 142 also requires that intangible assets with limited lives be amortized
over their respective estimated useful lives to their estimated residual values, and reviewed for impairment in accordance with SFAS No. 144, Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets. The Company completed its
annual impairment evaluation in the fourth quarter of 2005, 2004 and 2003, which indicated that goodwill and intangible assets were not impaired.



| | (i) | Deferred Financing Fees
| | --- | -----------------------

Deferred financing
fees include costs incurred to obtain financing from lenders. Debt issuance costs are capitalized as deferred financing fees and amortized using the effective interest method over the term of the related debt. Amortization of deferred financing fees
in 2005 and 2004 was $4.5 million and $3.5 million, respectively.



| | (j) | Preproduction Design and Development Costs
| | --- | ------------------------------------------

Design and development costs for products to be sold under long-term supply arrangements are expensed as incurred, with the exception of costs for molds, dies, and other tools that the Company will own or have non-cancelable rights to use
in producing the products under long-term supply arrangements. These costs are capitalized and depreciated as equipment.



| | (k) | Impairment of Long-lived Assets
| | --- | -------------------------------

Long-lived
assets, such as property, plant, and equipment and purchased intangibles subject to amortization, are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable.
Recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset to estimated undiscounted future cash flows expected to be generated by the asset. If the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its estimated
future cash flows, an impairment charge is recognized in the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset exceeds the fair value of the asset. Assets to be disposed of would be separately presented in the balance sheet or disclosed in the notes
to the consolidated financial statements and reported at the lower of the carrying amount or fair value less costs to sell, and are no longer depreciated (Note 3). The assets and liabilities of a disposal group classified as held for sale would be
presented separately in the appropriate asset and liability sections of the Consolidated Balance Sheets.



| | (l) | Deferred Rent
| | --- | -------------

Certain of the Companys
operating leases provide for scheduled changes in base rentals over their terms. For these leases, the Company recognizes the total rental amounts due over the lease terms on a straight-line basis and, accordingly, has established corresponding
deferred rent liabilities for the differences between the amounts recognized as expense and the amounts



39

SOLO CUP COMPANY AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS



paid. As of January 1, 2006 and December 31, 2004, deferred rent of $4.9 million and $4.2 million, respectively, is included in other liabilities and other
current liabilities, respectively, on the Companys Consolidated Balance Sheets.



| | (m) | Income Taxes
| | --- | ------------

Prior to January 1, 2004, Solo
Illinois U.S. earnings were subject to taxation under the provisions of Subchapter S of the Internal Revenue Code. Accordingly, the related Federal income taxes were the responsibility of Solo Illinois shareholders. However, Solo
Illinois was responsible for payment of certain state and foreign income taxes. As of January 1, 2004, Solo Illinois elected to be treated as a Subchapter C corporation, which is subject to U.S. federal and state income taxes.

The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with the asset and liability method under SFAS No. 109, Accounting for Income
Taxes. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributed to differences between the financial statement and income tax bases of assets and liabilities and tax credit and operating loss
carryforwards. These items are recorded using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which the differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred income tax assets and liabilities of a change
in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date.



| | (n) | Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities
| | --- | ---------------------------------------------

The Company records all derivative instruments on the consolidated balance sheet at their respective fair values.

The Company uses
interest rate derivative contracts (swaps or caps) to manage exposure relating to variability in interest payments on its outstanding debt. At inception of the derivative contract, the Company designates the derivative as a cash flow hedge or a fair
value hedge and assesses whether or not the derivative contract qualifies as a highly effective hedge of the underlying hedged item. Changes in the fair value of derivative contracts are recorded in earnings or deferred in accumulated other
comprehensive income (loss), depending on whether a derivative is effective as a hedge and on the type of hedging transaction.

Derivatives
are classified in the Consolidated Balance Sheets in other assets or other liabilities, as applicable, and are classified as short-term or long-term based on the scheduled maturity of the instrument.



| | (o) | Financial Instruments
| | --- | ---------------------

Financial instruments
consist primarily of cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable, derivative financial instruments, and debt, including obligations under capital leases. The carrying values of financial instruments other than debt approximate their fair
values at January 1, 2006 and December 31, 2004, due to their short-term maturities.

The fair value of the Companys floating rate
debt at January 1, 2006 and December 31, 2004 approximated its carrying value due to the Companys ability to borrow at comparable rates in the open market. The Companys fixed rate debt had a carrying value of $325.0 million and an
estimated fair value of $284.4 million at the end of 2005. At the end of 2004, the Companys fixed rate debt had a carrying value of $325.0 million and an estimated fair value of $334.8 million. The fair value of the fixed rate debt was
determined based on estimates from financial institutions for instruments with similar characteristics.

See information regarding the fair
value of derivative financial instruments at Note 10.

SOLO CUP COMPANY AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS



| | (p) | Revenue Recognition
| | --- | -------------------

The Company recognizes
all of its revenue through the sale of manufactured products and records sales when the sales price is fixed or determinable, products are shipped, title and risk of loss has passed to the customer, and collection is reasonably assured.

The Company records certain costs that relate to promotional programs and incentive cash rebates as a reduction of sales.



| | (q) | Research and Development and Advertising Costs
| | --- | ----------------------------------------------

Research and development and advertising costs are expensed as incurred. Research and development costs amounted to $0.7 million, $1.0 million and $1.2 million for the years ended January 1, 2006, December 31, 2004, and December 31, 2003,
respectively. Advertising costs amounted to $4.1 million, $8.0 million and $1.4 million for the years ended January 1, 2006, December 31, 2004, and December 31, 2003, respectively.



| | (r) | Use of Estimates
| | --- | ----------------

The preparation of the
consolidated financial statements requires management of the Company to make a number of estimates and assumptions relating to the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the
consolidated financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the period. Financial statement elements subject to significant estimation include, but are not limited to, the following: the realizable value of accounts
receivable, inventories, and deferred tax assets; the carrying value of property, plant, and equipment, goodwill, and intangible and other assets; the measurement of assets and obligations related to employee benefit plans; the determination of the
fair value of derivative instruments and debt; and provisions for discounts and rebates provided to customers. Actual results may differ from those estimates.



| | (s) | Stock-Based Compensation
| | --- | ------------------------

The Company
accounts for stock-based compensation arrangements in accordance with the provisions of Accounting Principles Board (APB) Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees, and complies with the disclosure provisions
of SFAS No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation. Under APB No. 25, compensation expense is based on the difference, if any, on the measurement date, between the estimated fair value of the underlying stock and the exercise price
of options to purchase that stock. The compensation expense is amortized on a straight-line basis over the vesting period of the options. For performance-based options, compensation expense is recognized periodically based on changes in the fair
value of the stock relative to the exercise price of the option, the ratable vesting schedule, and managements estimate regarding the Companys ability to meet the performance criteria.

The following table illustrates the effect on net loss assuming the Company had applied the fair value recognition provisions of SFAS No. 123,
Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation, to all awards of common stock options (in thousands):

use of APB 25 and the intrinsic value method of accounting, and requires companies to recognize the cost of employee services received in exchange for awards of equity instruments, based on the grant date fair value of those awards, in the financial
statements. For nonpublic companies, as defined, the effective date of SFAS 123R is the beginning of the first annual reporting period that begins after December 15, 2005, which is the first quarter 2006 for calendar year companies, although early
adoption is allowed. The Company will adopt SFAS 123R in the first quarter of 2006 under the prospective method. Under the provisions of SFAS 123, the Company calculated its pro forma disclosure using the minimum value method, which
excludes any effect of volatility on value; therefore, the prospective method of adopting SFAS 123R is required. Under the prospective method, compensation cost is recognized in the financial statements beginning with the effective date,
based on the requirements of SFAS 123R for all share-based payments granted, modified, repurchased or cancelled after that date. See Note 15 for further information on stock-based compensation plans. As it relates to the Companys existing
stock options, management believes that the adoption of this statement will not have a material effect on the Companys consolidated financial position and results of operations.



| | (t) | Recently Issued Accounting Standards
| | --- | ------------------------------------

In
November 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 151, Inventory Costs-an amendment of ARB No. 43, Chapter 4. SFAS No. 151 amends Accounting Research Bulletin (ARB) No. 43, Chapter 4, to clarify that abnormal amounts of idle facility
expense, freight, handling costs and wasted materials (spoilage) should be recognized as current-period charges. In addition, SFAS No. 151 requires that allocation of fixed production overhead to inventory be based on the normal capacity of the
production facilities. SFAS No. 151 is effective for inventory costs incurred during fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2005. The Company will adopt SFAS No. 151 at the beginning of its 2006 fiscal year. Management does not expect the adoption of
this statement to have a material effect on the Companys consolidated financial position and results of operations.

|(3) | Acquisitions
|--- | ------------

On February 27, 2004, with an
effective date of February 22, 2004, the Company consummated the purchase of 100.0% of the issued and outstanding capital stock of SF Holdings (the SF Holdings Acquisition). SF Holdings and its subsidiaries are one of the largest
converters and marketers of plastic and paper disposable foodservice and food packaging products in North America. The results of operations of SF Holdings from February 22, 2004 are included in the consolidated financial statements of the Company.

The aggregate purchase price was $917.2 million of which $15.0 million is being held in an escrow account pending the final working capital
adjustment and resolution of claims for indemnification. The $15.0 million held in escrow is not included in the allocation of the cost of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed as it represents contingent consideration for which the
contingency has not been resolved. The consideration was applied to the purchase of all common stock and common stock equivalents of SF Holdings, as well as the repayment of all outstanding debt of SF Holdings and the repurchase and cancellation of
its preferred stock. In addition, the Company purchased from a lessor certain leased manufacturing equipment and other assets that SF Holdings uses in its operations for an aggregate purchase price of $209.1 million, plus $8.0 million of accrued
rent on the leases and the payment of documentation expenses. These amounts are included in the $917.2 million of aggregate consideration paid.

The funding of the SF Holdings Acquisition was made through bank financing, bonds and private investment. The SF Holdings Acquisition resulted in goodwill of $144.6 million that is not tax deductible and $45.0 million of acquired intangible
assets with a weighted average useful life of approximately five years. These intangible assets consisted of trademarks and trade names of $22.2 million with an estimated useful life of five years, Trophy®manufacturing technology valued at $21.1 million with an estimated useful life of five years, and $1.7 million of other intangible
assets previously established by the acquired company with an estimated useful life of three years.

The following are the amounts assigned
to the acquired assets and liabilities (in millions):

In a subsequent transaction, on May 20, 2004, SF Holdings and Sweetheart purchased the remaining
issued and outstanding 20.0% interest in Global Cup, S.A. de C.V. (Global Cup) for $2.9 million. The purchase resulted in $0.4 million of goodwill.

On July 6, 2004, the Company consummated the purchase of certain assets and liabilities of Erving Paper Products, Inc. (Erving) located in Green Bay, Wisconsin. Erving specializes in and provides
foodservice distributors with high quality paper products, which include: placemats, banquet rolls, table covers, white and color napkins, seasonal designs and specialty prints. The aggregate purchase price of $2.6 million was paid in cash. The
purchase resulted in $0.7 million of goodwill.

The pro forma effects of these two acquisitions are not significant.

SOLO CUP COMPANY AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS



As of January 1, 2004, Solo Illinois revoked its subchapter S status and became a subchapter C
Corporation subject to United States federal and state income tax at the corporate level. Consequently, for the year-ended December 31, 2004, the Company, pursuant to generally accepted accounting principles in the United States, recorded a $28.3
million non-cash tax expense to establish a $28.3 million net deferred income tax liability for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement and income tax bases of Solo Illinois assets and
liabilities as of January 1, 2004. For the year-ended January 1, 2006, the Company recorded an additional $0.3 million in tax expense related to the above.

As of January 1, 2006, the Company had approximately $238.1 million of U.S. federal tax net operating loss carryforwards that expire between 2016 and 2025 of which $103.5 million of such carryforwards are subject to
the provisions of Internal Revenue Code Section 382. Based on expected levels of future earnings, reversals of existing deferred tax liabilities and certain tax planning strategies, management currently believes that realization of the net deferred
tax assets related to these federal net operating loss carryforwards is more likely than not.

The Company establishes a valuation allowance
for deferred tax assets when the amount of expected future taxable income is not likely to support the use of the deduction or credit. The Company had a valuation allowance of $5.1 million as of January 1, 2006 and $8.6 million as of December 31,
2004, as it is more likely than not that certain foreign and state net operating loss carryforwards and other deferred tax assets will not be fully utilized. For the year-ended January 1, 2006, the Companys valuation allowance decreased by
$3.3 million mainly due to a $6.5 million decrease in the valuation allowance established related to certain deferred tax assets in connection with the SF Holdings Acquisition and a $3.3 million increase related to the utilization of certain foreign
net operating loss carryforwards.

expense (benefit) for the years ended January 1, 2006, December 31, 2004, and December 31, 2003 are as follows (in thousands):

SOLO CUP COMPANY AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS



Prior to January 1, 2004, Solo Illinois was subject to taxation under the provisions of subchapter S
of the Internal Revenue Code in the United States and, as a result, the federal and certain state income tax liabilities of the Company were the responsibility of its shareholders. Therefore, income tax expense recognized in the consolidated
financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2003 relates primarily to foreign operations.

The American Jobs Creation Act of 2004
(the Act) was enacted in October of 2004. The Act provided for a temporary incentive for U.S. multinational corporations to repatriate accumulated income earned abroad by providing an 85% exclusion from taxable income for certain
dividends from controlled foreign corporations. During 2005, as a result of this special temporary tax incentive, the Company distributed $8.2 million from its wholly owned subsidiary, Solo Cup Asia Pacific, and $2.9 million from its wholly owned
subsidiary, Solo Cup Panama, S.A. For the year ended January 1, 2006, income tax expense reflects a $0.7 million expense related to the repatriation of earnings under the provisions of the Act.

It is still the Companys intention to permanently reinvest undistributed earnings in its foreign subsidiaries; therefore, no provision has been made
for future income taxes on the undistributed earnings of certain foreign subsidiaries, as they are considered indefinitely reinvested in these operations. As of January 1, 2006, such aggregated earnings were $34.6 million.

The following reconciles the expected federal statutory income tax expense (benefit) based on income (loss) before income taxes and minority interest with
the Companys actual tax expense (benefit) (in thousands):

Canadian Credit Facility

On September 24, 2004, Solo Cup Canada Inc. (formerly known as Lily Cups Inc.), a Canadian subsidiary of the Company, entered into a credit agreement
(Canadian Credit Facility) which provides for a term loan and a revolving credit facility with a maximum credit borrowing of CAD $30.0 million (approximately US $23.8 million) subject to borrowing base limitations and satisfaction of
other conditions of borrowing. The term borrowings have 11 mandatory quarterly repayments of CAD $0.482 million every January 1, April 1, July 1 and October 1 beginning January 1, 2005, with a final payment of CAD $8.2 million due September 24,
2007. Both the revolving credit and term loan borrowings have a final maturity date of September 24, 2007. The Canadian Credit Facility is secured by all existing and thereafter acquired real and personal tangible assets of Lily Cups Inc. Borrowings
under the revolving credit facility bear interest at the Canadian prime rate plus 0.50% or the Canadian bankers acceptance rate plus 1.75%, at the Companys option. Term loan borrowings bear interest at the Canadian prime rate plus 0.75% or the
Canadian bankers acceptance rate plus 2.00%, at the Companys option. As of January 1, 2006, borrowings under the revolving credit facility and the term loan carried effective interest rates of 5.11% and 5.36%, respectively. The balance of the
revolving facility and term loan were CAD $0.5 million (approximately US $0.4 million) and CAD $11.1 million (approximately US $9.5 million) as of

January 1, 2006, respectively. As of December 31, 2004, the balance of the revolving facility and term loan were CAD $1.2 million (approximately US $1.0
million) and CAD $13.5 million (approximately US $11.2 million), respectively. As of January 1, 2006, CAD $13.4 million (approximately US $11.5 million) was available under the revolving credit facility.

Senior Credit Facility

On February
27, 2004, the Company entered into credit facilities (the Senior Credit Facility) comprised of a $150.0 million revolving credit facility maturing in 2010 and a $650.0 million term loan facility maturing in 2011. The revolver is
principally used for working capital purposes, and the term loan was used to finance the acquisition and related transactions. For purposes of calculating interest, loans under the credit facility are designated as Eurodollar rate loans or, in
certain circumstances, base rate loans. Eurodollar rate loans bear interest at the British Bankers Association Interest Settlement Rate for deposits in dollars plus a borrowing margin as described below. Interest on Eurodollar rate loans is payable
at the end of the applicable interest period of one, two, three or six months, but not less frequently than quarterly. Base rate loans bear interest at (a) the greater of (i) the rate most recently announced by Bank of America as its prime
rate or (ii) the Federal Funds Rate plus 1⁄2 of 1% per annum, plus (b) a borrowing margin as described below. The margin varies from 2.0% to 2.75% on Eurodollar rate loans and from 1.0% to 1.75% on base rate loans, depending on the
Companys leverage ratio.

On March 31, 2005, the Company and SCIC entered into an agreement (Amendment No. 1) to amend the
term loan facility under the Senior Credit Facility. Amendment No. 1 changed the borrowing margin used to calculate interest on the term loans under the Senior Credit Facility. The margin for term loans was a range based on the Companys
leverage ratio. For Eurodollar rate loans, the borrowing margin was changed to 2.00% from a range of 2.25% to 2.50%. For base rate loans, the borrowing margin was changed to 1.00% from a range of 1.25% to 1.50%.

On October 14, 2005, the Company and SCIC entered into an agreement (Amendment No. 2) to the Senior Credit Facility, as amended by Amendment
No. 1. Amendment No. 2 established two different levels for determining the applicable borrowing margin interest rate that the Company would pay on its term loan based upon the respective ratings the Company receives from Moodys and Standard
& Poors. Level 1 is 2.25% for Eurodollar rate loans and 1.25% for base rate loans when Moodys rating on the Company is at least B1 and Standard & Poors rating is at least B+. Level 2 is 2.50% for Eurodollar rate loans and
1.50% for base rate loans when Moodys rating on the Company is below B1 and Standard & Poors rating is below B+. If the Company only receives a change in rating from one agency or if the agencies ratings are split across
pricing levels 1 and 2, then the Company will pay interest at level 2 pricing. On October 6, 2005, Moodys changed its rating on the Company from B1 to B2. As of January 1, 2006, the borrowing margin is level 2 pricing.

As of January 1, 2006, the weighted average annual interest rate applicable to Eurodollar rate loans was 6.45% and the weighted average annual interest
rate applicable to base rate loans was 9.00%. During the year ended January 1, 2006, the weighted average annual interest rate for the credit facilities was 6.57%. A commitment fee of 0.50% on the unused portion of the credit facilities is payable
on a quarterly basis. As of January 1, 2006, $72.1 million was available under the Senior Credit Facility.

The Companys obligations
under the credit facilities are guaranteed by its parent, SCIC, and each existing direct and indirect subsidiary of SCIC other than the Company, subject to certain exceptions. In addition, each significant domestic subsidiary of the Company
subsequently formed is required to guarantee these obligations.

The Senior Credit Facility is secured by (i) all present and future property and assets, real and
personal, of the Company, its restricted subsidiaries, and each guarantor, subject to certain restrictions; (ii) a pledge of 100.0% of the stock of each of SCICs present and future direct and indirect domestic subsidiaries and a lien on 66.0%
of the stock of each controlled foreign corporation subsidiary, as defined; (iii) all present and future intercompany debt of the Company, its restricted subsidiaries, and each guarantor; and (iv) all proceeds of the foregoing. Under the Senior
Credit Facility, the Company is required to meet certain restrictive financial covenants, including a maximum consolidated leverage ratio, minimum consolidated interest coverage ratio and maximum capital expenditures. The Senior Credit Facility also
contains other various covenants that limit, or restrict, among other things, indebtedness, liens on property and assets, loans and investments, acquisitions, dispositions of property or assets, debt modifications, dividend declarations, and certain
other business activities.

Under Amendment No. 2, certain financial covenant ratios that the Company is required to maintain were modified.
The ratio of Consolidated EBITDA to Consolidated Cash Interest Expense was lowered, and the ratio of Average Total Debt to Consolidated EBITDA was raised, in certain quarters (all as such capitalized terms are defined in the original Senior Credit
Facility). The Company is currently in compliance with all covenants under the Senior Credit Facility. At January 1, 2006, the interest rate on the term loan facility was 6.44% and 8.07% on the revolving credit facility.

The Company may make optional prepayments to either the credit facility or the term loan in million dollar increments with a minimum prepayment of $10.0
million. The Company is required to make mandatory quarterly prepayments for the term loan. Under Amendment No. 1, the schedule for quarterly principal repayments was modified. The terms of Amendment No. 1 provide for scheduled principal repayments
of $1.625 million per quarter through November 27, 2010, with a balloon payment of $606.125 million due on February 27, 2011. All mandatory quarterly prepayments have been made to date.

The Company is required to make a mandatory annual prepayment of the term loan facility and the revolving credit facility in an amount equal to 50.0% of
excess cash flow, as defined in the term loan documentation, when the consolidated leverage ratio is 3.5x or greater, or 25.0% of excess cash flow when the Companys consolidated leverage ratio is less than 3.5x. In addition, the Company is
required to make a mandatory prepayment of the term loan facility and the revolving credit facility with, among other things: (i) 100.0% of the net cash proceeds of any property or asset sale, subject to certain exceptions and reinvestment
requirements; (ii) 100.0% of the net cash proceeds of any extraordinary receipts, as defined in the term loan documentation, such as tax refunds, pension plan reversions, proceeds of insurance or condemnation awards, subject to certain exceptions
and reinvestment requirements; (iii) 100.0% of the net cash proceeds of certain debt issuances, subject to certain exceptions; and (iv) 50.0% of the net cash proceeds from the issuance of additional equity interests when the consolidated leverage
ratio is 3.5x or greater, or 25.0% of such proceeds when the consolidated leverage ratio is less than 3.5x. Mandatory prepayments will be applied first to the term loans on a pro rata basis, and thereafter to the revolving loans. For the year ended
January 1, 2006, the Company was not required to make a mandatory annual prepayment or any prepayments based on excess cash flow, disposition of assets or extraordinary receipts.

The Senior Credit Facility requires the Company to fix the interest rate for a portion of the borrowings. Currently the Company uses derivative
instruments in order to fix the interest rate on the required portion of borrowings (Note 10).

Capital lease obligations were $2.4 million and $3.5 million as of January 1, 2006 and December
31, 2004, respectively. As of January 1, 2006, capital lease obligations consist of various machines with leases expiring between 2008 and 2012. Amortization of assets held under capital leases is included in depreciation expense. Such amortization
expense was $623,000, $664,000, and $762,000, for the years ended January 1, 2006, December 31, 2004 and December 31, 2003, respectively.

The Company also has several noncancelable operating leases that expire over the next 18 years and provide for renewal terms. These include property leases with escalation clauses averaging 2% to 5% annually, three of which expired in 2005
and three of which expire in 2007. The Company also leases certain machinery, office equipment and vehicles.

During September 2005, the
Company entered into an agreement for the sale and leaseback of three properties, including one plant and two warehouses. One of the leases expired in December 2005 and the other two expire in December 2006. Net property, plant and equipment was
reduced by the carrying values of the properties sold, which amounted to approximately $6.2 million. The net cash proceeds received from the sale were approximately $15.3 million; $6.8 million of the resulting gain was recognized in September 2005
and $2.3 million was recorded as a deferred credit. The remaining deferred credit as of January 1, 2006 of $1.8 million is included in other long-term liabilities and is being amortized to income as an offset to rent expense. The leases are
classified as operating leases in accordance with SFAS No. 13, Accounting for Leases.

|(10) | Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities
|---- | ---------------------------------------------

The
Senior Credit Facility, as amended, requires the Company to fix the interest rate for a portion of the borrowings. Accordingly, on March 10, 2004, to limit the variability of a portion of the interest payments under the Senior Credit Facility, the
Company entered into receive-variable, pay-fixed interest rate swaps with a total notional amount of $180.0 million. Under these interest rate swaps, the Company receives variable interest rate payments and makes fixed interest rate payments;
thereby fixing the rate on a portion of the outstanding debt. The variable rate of interest received is the Eurodollar rate. The fixed rate of interest paid is 2.375% to 2.376%. The swap agreements extend through March 31, 2007. The fair value of
these swap agreements was $5.2 million and $4.2 million as of January 1, 2006 and December 31, 2004, respectively. They are accounted for as cash flow hedges and their fair value is included in other assets in the Companys Consolidated Balance
Sheet. On June 23, 2005, the Company entered into a forward-starting receive-variable, pay-fixed interest rate swap with a notional amount of $50.0 million. The variable rate of interest received is the Eurodollar rate. The fixed rate of interest
paid is 4.25%. The swap agreement is effective March 31, 2007 through March 31, 2010. As of January 1, 2006, the fair value of this swap agreement was approximately $0.7 million. It is accounted for as a cash flow hedge and its fair value is
included in other assets in the Companys Consolidated Balance Sheet.

On March 31, 2005, the Company entered into an interest rate cap
agreement with a notional amount of $35.0 million. Under this agreement, the Company receives variable interest rate payments when the three-month Eurodollar rate rises above 5.0%. This interest rate cap agreement is in effect through March 31,
2006. The interest rate cap is accounted for as a cash flow hedge and its fair value was approximately $0 as of January 1, 2006.

On June
30, 2005, the Company entered into another interest rate cap agreement with a notional amount of $15.0 million. Under this agreement, the Company would receive variable interest rate payments when the three-month Eurodollar rate rises above 4.0%.
This interest rate cap agreement expired on September 30, 2005.



|(11) | Pensions and Other Postretirement Benefits
|---- | ------------------------------------------

The
Company sponsors noncontributory defined benefit pension plans that cover all Solo Cup Japan Co. Ltd. and Solo Cup Europe Limited employees who meet certain length of service requirements. Plan benefits are based on participants compensation
during their final year of service. The Companys funding policy is to contribute amounts necessary to satisfy the amounts required by local laws and regulations. Plan assets for the Solo Cup Japan and Solo Cup Europe pension plans are held in
retirement trust funds with investments primarily in common stock, corporate bonds and government securities.

In connection with the SF
Holdings Acquisition, the Company assumed the defined benefit pension plans and postretirement health care plans of SF Holdings. These plans provide certain union and non-union employees with retirement and disability income benefits. Pension costs
are based upon the actuarially determined normal costs plus interest on and amortization of the unfunded liabilities. The benefits for participants in certain of these non-union pension plans are frozen. The Companys policy has been to fund
annually the minimum contributions required by applicable regulations. The postretirement health care plans, in most cases, pay stated percentages of most medical expenses incurred by retirees after subtracting payments by Medicare or other
providers and after a stated deductible has been met. Participants generally become eligible after reaching age 60 with ten years of service. The majority of such plans are contributory, with retiree contributions adjusted annually.

The Company uses a September 30 measurement date for the majority of its plans.

The following table presents aggregated information for
individual pension plans with an accumulated benefit obligation in excess of plan assets as of January 1, 2006 and December 31, 2004, for which the Company recognized an additional minimum pension liability (in thousands):

For the years ended January 1, 2006, December 31, 2004 and December 31, 2003, $2.0 million, $3.8
million and $0.1 million were charged to other comprehensive income for the additional minimum pension liability adjustments, net of tax. The minimum pension liability will change from year to year as a result of revisions to actuarial assumptions,
experience gains or losses and settlement rate changes.

The following assumptions were used to determine the benefit obligations at fiscal
year-end:

Defined Contribution Plans

Substantially all U.S. employees of the former Solo Illinois and employees hired by SCOC after October 3, 2005, are covered by the Companys employee
profit-sharing plan. The amount of Company profit-sharing contributions is at the discretion of the Companys board of directors. During 1998, the profit-sharing plan was amended to qualify under Section 401(k) of the Internal Revenue Code. The
amended plan allows employees to contribute up to 20% of their qualified gross wages as defined in the plan, and the Company currently matches 50% of the employees contributions to this plan up to 4% of eligible compensation as defined.
Charges for employer contributions to the 401(k) and profit-sharing plan were $1.8 million, $1.4 million and $3.2 million for the years ended January 1, 2006, December 31, 2004 and December 31, 2003, respectively, and are recorded in selling,
general and administrative expenses in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Operations.

In conjunction with the SF Holdings acquisition, the Company acquired a 401(k) defined contribution
plan that covers a majority of SF Holdings employees. For employees in this plan, the Company provides a matching contribution of 100% on the first 2% of a participants salary and 50% on the next 4% of a participants salary. The
Companys match for employees in this plan is currently limited to participant contributions up to 6% of the participants salaries. In addition, the Company is allowed to make discretionary contributions. Charges for employer
contributions to this 401(k) plan were $4.7 million in the year ended January 1, 2006 and $4.4 million for the period from February 22, 2004 to January 2, 2005, and are recorded in cost of goods sold and selling, general and administrative expenses
in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Operations.

The Company also participates in a multi-employer pension plan sponsored by SF
Holdings for certain of its union employees. Contributions to this plan at a defined rate per hour worked were $1.2 million and $1.0 million in 2005 and 2004, respectively.



|(12) | Shareholders Equity
|---- | --------------------

On February 27, 2004,
the Company received net proceeds of $229.6 million from the issuance of 100 shares of Common Stock to SCIC and the retirement of all outstanding shares of Solo Illinois Class A and Class B common stock. In order to fund this purchase of stock
in the Company, SCIC issued $240.0 million of convertible participating preferred stock (the CPPS) to a third-party investor. The CPPS pays cash dividends at a rate of 10.0% per annum on an amount equal to the sum of the original
purchase price of the CPPS plus all accrued and unpaid dividends. Dividends will accumulate to the extent not paid, whether or not earned or declared. As of January 1, 2006, accrued and unpaid dividends were approximately $47.5 million. SCIC is
required to redeem the CPPS for an amount in cash equal to its original purchase price plus all accrued and unpaid dividends on the eleventh anniversary of its issuance, and is subject to other accelerated redemption clauses. The Company, at its
option and election, may redeem in whole or in part the outstanding shares of CPPS or other securities issued by SCIC on or after the third anniversary through the seventh anniversary of its issuance. The CPPS may be converted into common shares of
SCIC at any time, subject to certain limitations, at the option of the holders. Mandatory conversion occurs upon the closing of an Initial Public Offering. The Company provides no guarantees with respect to these obligations of SCIC.

During 2004, $4.1 million of capital was contributed to the Company by SCIC. This includes $0.8 million of proceeds that were received by SCIC from
certain Company employees upon the issuance of SCICs CPPS. The remaining $3.3 million represents the issuance of 3,283 Convertible Preferred Units (CPUs) to certain Company employees in settlement of deferred compensation
liabilities (Note 15). In the second quarter of 2005, as the result of an employees separation from the Company, $1.3 million of this capital contribution was returned to SCIC as a dividend and 1,267 of CPUs were canceled. In 2005, 2004 and
2003, the Company paid dividends to shareholders of Solo Illinois common stock of $0.4 million, $16.1 million and $9.1 million, respectively.

In 2005, an additional $0.1 million of capital was contributed to the Company by SCIC, reflecting proceeds that were received by SCIC from a Company employee upon the issuance of SCICs CPPS.



|(13) | Minority Interest in Subsidiary
|---- | -------------------------------

In 2004, the
Companys consolidated financial statements reflect the minority interest in the Companys subsidiaries, Sanyo Pax Operations Company, Ltd. (Sanyo Pax) and Global Cup S.A de C.V. (Global Cup). Global Cup was
acquired along with the SF Holdings Acquisition in February of 2004. In the third quarter of 2004, the Company purchased all shares held by minority owners in Global Cup.

SOLO CUP COMPANY AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS



|(15) | Stock-Based Compensation
|---- | ------------------------

SCIC, the Companys
parent, has a management investment and incentive compensation plan for certain key employees of the Company. Under this plan, SCIC has reserved 1,450,000 shares of SCIC common stock, and 5,000 shares of CPPS for issuance (Note 12). The accounting
impact of this plan is recorded in the financial statements of the Company as the plan relates to employees of the Company.

CPUs

During the second quarter of 2004, SCIC issued 3,283 CPUs to certain Company employees in settlement of $3.3 million of deferred
compensation liabilities. The fair value of the CPUs granted by SCIC was linked to the fair market value of one share of CPPS. For CPUs, compensation expense is recognized periodically based on changes in the fair value of the CPU relative to the
grant-date fair value of the CPU. During the year ended January 1, 2006, the Company recorded compensation expense and additional paid-in capital of $136 thousand reflecting dividends declared by SCIC on those instruments.

CPUs do not have voting rights and are in certain circumstances convertible to SCIC common stock or CPPS. The issuance of CPUs by SCIC in settlement of
deferred compensation liabilities of the Company totaling $3.3 million was recorded as additional paid-in capital in 2004. In the second quarter of 2005, as the result of an employees separation from the company, 1,267 of CPUs were canceled.

|(18) | Contract Dispute Resolution
|---- | ---------------------------

In November 2001, Solo
Illinois entered into an outsourcing agreement (the Agreement) with its former logistics provider, DSC Logistics, Inc. (DSC), pursuant to which DSC was to provide customary warehouse and transportation services for Solo
Illinois. After the Agreement was executed, disputes arose as to aspects of the Agreement, and Solo Illinois and DSC have been parties to litigation and arbitration. On February 16, 2005, Solo Illinois and DSC entered into a settlement agreement
(the Settlement Agreement) which terminated the Agreement prior to its stated termination date. Pursuant to the terms of the Settlement Agreement, Solo Illinois transitioned its distribution center and transportation services, including
attendant real estate, equipment and personnel, where possible, back into its operations during 2005. In February 2005, as part of the transition, Solo Illinois purchased certain assets from DSC, for which Solo Illinois paid DSC $1.2 million. The
Settlement Agreement required Solo Illinois to assume certain leases from DSC and pay DSC $11.75 million during 2005. The Settlement Agreement also includes mutual releases from both parties and requires the parties to dismiss all related
outstanding litigation and arbitration claims.

In addition to the agreed-upon payments totaling $11.75 million, the Company forgave
$4.4 million of accounts receivable from DSC. During 2004, the Company incurred legal expenses and contract execution costs of $9.3 million related to the litigation, arbitration and the settlement. The net effect of the resolution of this matter on
the Companys Consolidated Statement of Operations for the year ended December 31, 2004, was a pre-tax charge of $25.4 million ($15.6 million net of income taxes). As of December 31, 2004, the remaining liability of $15.3 million was classified
in accrued expenses and other current liabilities in the Companys Consolidated Balance Sheet.

segments in accordance with SFAS No. 131, Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information. The Company manages and evaluates its operations in three reportable segments: North America, Europe and Asia-Pacific. All of

|(22) | Subsequent Events
|---- | -----------------

In March 2006, we received a
commitment for a senior secured second lien term loan facility of $80.0 million (Second Lien Facility). Effective March 27, 2006, the Company and SCIC entered into Amendment No. 3 to the Senior Credit Facility (Amendment No.
3). Amendment No. 3 was necessary to permit the Company to enter into the Second Lien Facility. Amendment No. 3 also revised the ratios of the financial covenants that the Company is required to maintain by allowing lower ratios in certain
quarters of Consolidated EBITDA to Consolidated Cash Interest Expense, and by allowing higher ratios in certain quarters of Average Total Debt to Consolidated EBITDA (all as such capitalized terms are defined in the original Senior Credit Facility).
The continued effectiveness of Amendment No. 3 is contingent upon the Company executing the Second Lien Facility by April 15, 2006.

The
Second Lien Facility loan proceeds will be used to reduce amounts outstanding under the domestic revolving credit facility under the Senior Credit Facility. The Second Lien Facility will have a floating interest rate and the principal will be due
upon maturity in 2012.

The Company does not pay any compensation to its directors; however, it does
reimburse reasonable expenses for attending board meetings.

Employment Agreements

SCIC and Solo Illinois entered into employment agreements with Ronald L. Whaley, Susan H. Marks and Kathleen C. Wolf, as described below.

Under his February 27, 2004 employment agreement, Mr. Whaley will be employed as Chief Operating Officer and President for a term of five years, which
term will automatically be extended for successive one-year periods commencing at the end of the initial term unless earlier terminated by SCIC or Mr. Whaley. In addition to base salary, which is reviewed annually and can be increased but not
decreased, Mr. Whaley is eligible to receive an annual bonus equal to a percentage of annual salary based on the achievement of target EBITDA levels and debt reduction amounts with a target bonus equal to 95% of his base salary.

Upon a termination of employment due to death or disability, SCIC will pay to Mr. Whaley all accrued and unpaid base salary and bonus and a pro rated
annual bonus for the year in which the termination occurs.

If Mr. Whaley terminates his employment for good reason or SCIC
terminates Mr. Whaleys employment without cause, SCIC will pay to Mr. Whaley all accrued and unpaid base salary and bonus, a pro rated annual bonus for the year in which the termination occurs, and a lump sum severance amount equal
to two times (or, if such termination of employment occurs within 60 days prior to or two years following a change of control, three times) the sum of his annual base salary and target bonus. Additionally, SCIC will provide Mr. Whaley with continued
coverage under SCICs welfare benefit programs for one year or until Mr. Whaley obtains similar coverage by a new employer.

Ms. Marks
and Ms. Wolf are each party to employment agreements dated April 14, 2004. Each employment agreement has a term of three years, which term will automatically be extended for successive one-year periods commencing at the end of the initial term
unless earlier terminated by SCIC or the executive. In addition to base salary (which is reviewed annually and can be increased but not decreased), each executive is eligible to receive an annual bonus equal to 65% percent of her annual salary based
on the achievement of target EBITDA levels and debt reduction amounts.

Upon a termination of employment due to death or disability, SCIC will pay to the executive all accrued
and unpaid base salary and bonus, and a pro rated annual bonus for the year in which the termination occurs.

If the executive terminates
his employment for good reason or SCIC terminates the executives employment without cause, as such terms are defined in the employment agreements, SCIC will pay to the executive all accrued and unpaid base salary and
bonus, and a severance amount equal to the greater of (A) the amount of base salary that would have been paid over the remainder of the then current agreement term and (B) one and one-half times annual base salary. Additionally, SCIC will provide
the executive with continued coverage under SCICs welfare benefit programs for the above-described severance period or until the executive obtains similar coverage by a new employer.

During 2004, Mr. Whaley, Ms. Marks and Ms. Wolf, converted amounts formerly accrued to deferred compensation accounts pursuant to the executives
prior employment agreement with Solo Illinois into convertible preferred units (CPUs) issued under SCICs Management Investment and Incentive Compensation Plan. The CPUs are subject to all of the terms and conditions of the plan and
a Convertible Preferred Unit Award Agreement between the executive and the Company. During 2004, Mr. Whaley converted his deferred compensation account into 1,907 CPUs, Ms. Marks converted her deferred compensation account into 32 CPUs, and Ms. Wolf
converted her deferred compensation account into 27 CPUs. The CPUs are held for the account of the executive and generally entitle the executive to dividend equivalent rights as well as the right to participate in certain distributions, sales
proceeds, redemption events and conversion rights to the same extent as the holders of SCICs convertible participating preferred shares. Upon a change in control or other liquidity event (or termination of an executives employment prior
to a liquidity event), as such terms are defined in the plan, the executive will be entitled to receive a distribution of the CPUs, together with any accrued dividend equivalents, held for the account of the executive. Such distribution will
generally be made in the form of SCICs convertible participating preferred shares on a one-for-one basis, or in the form of SCICs common stock, cash, or other marketable securities to the extent that the convertible participating
preferred shares of SCIC are so converted in connection with the change in control or other liquidity event.

Compensation Committee Interlocks and
Insider Participation

For the fiscal year ended January 1, 2006, the entire board of directors of the Company determined executive
compensation. None of our executive officers served as a director or member of the compensation committee or other board committee performing equivalent functions of another corporation.

Item 12. Security Ownership of Certain Beneficial Owners and Management and Related Stockholder Matters.

All
of the Companys outstanding capital stock is owned by its parent company, SCIC. The following table presents the beneficial ownership of SCICs voting stock as of March 10, 2006 by the Companys directors and named executive officers
during the fiscal year ended January 1, 2006, by the Companys directors and executive officers as a group and by other persons that beneficially own in excess of 5% of SCICs voting stock. As of March 10, 2006, 10,425,100 shares of common
stock of SCIC and 240,967 shares of convertible participating preferred stock (CPPS) of SCIC were outstanding.

All persons
listed in the table below have sole voting and investment power with respect to their shares, except as indicated otherwise. Unless otherwise indicated, the address of each beneficial owner listed in the table below is c/o Solo Cup Company, 1700 Old
Deerfield Road, Highland Park, Illinois 60035. Beneficial ownership is determined in accordance with the rules of the SEC under which, in general, persons having voting or investment power with respect to a security are beneficial owners of that
security. Shares of capital stock issuable pursuant to options or convertible securities, to the extent those options or convertible securities are exercisable or convertible, as applicable, within 60 days as of March 10, 2006, are treated as
beneficially owned and outstanding for the purpose of computing the percentage ownership of the person holding the option or convertible security, but are not treated as outstanding for the purpose of computing the percentage ownership of any other
person.

On August 4, 1999,
we extended an interest free loan in the amount of $1.7 million to Ronald L. Whaley, our President and Chief Operating Officer, pursuant to his previous employment agreement. The employment agreement provides for the loan to be repaid out of the net
proceeds of Mr. Whaleys annual bonuses through August 3, 2009. To the extent that Mr. Whaleys annual bonus falls below the amount corresponding to the annual prorated portion of the initial principal amount of the loan, the employment
agreement provides that the loan will be forgiven as if a bonus in the amount of that annual prorated portion had been paid. As of January 1, 2006, the outstanding principal amount of the loan was $639,000. The largest outstanding principal balance
of the loan during fiscal year 2005 was $852,000.
