THE PACIFIC LUMBER COMPANY AND SUBSIDIARIES
FILE FOR BANKRUPTCY PROTECTION
Corpus Christi TX — January 19, 2007 — The Pacific Lumber Company and its
subsidiaries yesterday filed for voluntary protection under Chapter 11 of the
United States Bankruptcy Code in the federal bankruptcy court for the Southern
District of Texas, Corpus Christi division. The filing companies are The Pacific
Lumber Company ("Pacific Lumber"), Scotia Pacific Company LLC ("Scopac"), Britt
Lumber Co., Inc. ("Britt"), Scotia Development LLC, Salmon Creek LLC and Scotia
Inn Inc.
The companies said they are facing a liquidity crisis arising from
regulatory limitations on timber harvest imposed on them, which have
significantly reduced revenues while also increasing timber harvesting costs. As
a result, the companies stated that annual timber harvest volumes and cash flows
from operations will be substantially below the levels necessary to meet the
companies' debt service obligations.
Together, the companies form an integrated forest products business that
grows and harvests California redwood and Douglas-fir trees. The resulting
lumber is milled and sold by Pacific Lumber and Britt.
Integral to the companies' operations is the 1996 agreement with the
Federal government and the State of California, known as the historic Headwaters
Agreement, which involved the sale to the Federal and State governments of
substantial old growth redwood timberlands of the companies and the
implementation of comprehensive ongoing permits and approvals regarding
harvesting activities on the companies' approximately 200,000 acres of remaining
timberlands. The historic accord resulted in the most stringent environmental
restrictions ever placed on timber harvesting.
In
December 2006, Pacific Lumber and Scopac filed a lawsuit against the State of
California to recover damages for breach of the Headwaters Agreement by the
State. The lawsuit alleges that the State's actions have, among other things,
restricted Scopac's ability to harvest its timberlands as agreed by the State in
the Headwaters Agreement, in a manner that would assure regulatory certainty and
economic viability for the companies and protect the interests of the people of
California. The failure of the State to live up to the terms of the Headwaters
Agreement has prevented Pacific Lumber and Scopac from remaining economically
viable without restructuring.
These issues have led to declines in actual and expected harvest levels
and cash flows, significant increases in the cost of logging operations and
increased costs related to timber harvest litigation, all of which have severely
and negatively impacted the historical cash flows of Pacific Lumber and its
subsidiaries.
