Rogue River Inc - A Unique Path to Profitability

Second Quarter, 2012

We are seeing unusually warm weather in the Northeast but we are still seeing the usual volatility in the resin market. There is nothing from a historical perspective that can relate to the kind of volatility we are seeing in today’s markets. Price increases of $.05 $.10 and $.15 plus were very seldom put in place now you see them in back to back months.

The migration from heavy (oil) feedstock’s to the light(natural gas) feedstock’s has been a step change in the North American petrochemical market. When using the lighter feedstock’s by the process the producers make less of the base material needed to make the plastics resins consumed in today’s thermoforming markets. With the large natural gas reserves in North America and the price of oil as of this writing north of $105 per barrel, this is a trend that we do not see changing in the near future.
