Item 2.02   Results of Operations and Financial Condition

On November 13, 2006, the registrant issued a Quarterly Report regarding the registrant’s results of operations for the third quarter ended October 1, 2006, which is filed as Exhibit 99.1 to this Form 8-K. Although the report uses the format for and contains the footnotes and disclosures found in the SEC’s Form 10-Q, the figures have not been reviewed by an independent accountant. For this same reason, the certifications pursuant to the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 are not attached. Such Exhibit shall not be deemed “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), or incorporated by reference in any filing under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Exchange Act, except as shall be expressly set forth by specific reference in such a filing.

Item 2.05   Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities

On October 9, 2006, the Company decided to consolidate its adult incontinence production capabilities and, as a result, has begun the process of relocating its adult incontinence manufacturing equipment from its Marietta, Georgia facility to its Eau Claire, Wisconsin facility. This consolidation will take place during the 4th quarter of 2006 and the 1st quarter of 2007 and should ultimately help to improve the absorbent products segment’s long-term manufacturing efficiencies. The company issued a W.A.R.N. (Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification) notice on October 9, 2006. The Company estimates the total cost of the relocation activities to be $1,200,000, including $700,000 for the disassembly, transportation, and installation of machinery and equipment, $200,000 for one-time termination benefits to affected employees, and $300,000 for other related costs. The Company’s estimates will be subject to refinement.
