1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Consolidated Graphics, Inc. and subsidiaries (collectively, the “Company”). All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated. Such statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and the Securities and Exchange Commission’s (“SEC”) rules and regulations for reporting interim financial information. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation of the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been included. Operating results for the six months ended September 30, 2006 are not necessarily indicative of future operating results. Balance sheet information as of March 31, 2006 has been derived from the 2006 annual audited consolidated financial statements of the Company. For further information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2006, filed with the SEC in June 2006 (“2006 Form 10-K”).
Use of Estimates—The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires the use of certain estimates and assumptions by management in determining the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent liabilities as of the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period including depreciation of property and equipment and amortization or impairment of intangible assets. The Company evaluates its estimates and assumptions on an ongoing basis and relies on historical experience and various other factors that it believes to be reasonable under the circumstances to determine such estimates. Because uncertainties with respect to estimates and assumptions are inherent in the preparation of financial statements, actual results could differ from these estimates.
Reclassification — Certain reclassifications of prior period’s data have been made to conform to current period reporting.
Revenue Recognition — The Company recognizes revenue upon delivery of each job, except for “bill and hold transactions,” in which case such revenue is recognized when all of the service delivery criteria are fully met as per Staff Accounting Bulletin 104 issued by the SEC. Losses, if any, on jobs are recognized at the earliest date such amount is determinable.
Inventories—Inventories are valued at the lower of cost or market utilizing the first-in, first-out method for raw materials and the specific identification method for work in progress and finished goods. The carrying values of inventories are set forth below:
                 
    September 30,     March 31,  
    2006     2006  
Raw materials
  $ 14,290     $ 11,485  
Work in progress
    29,905       21,951  
Finished goods
    5,766       4,994  
 
           
 
  $ 49,961     $ 38,430  
 
           
Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets, net — Goodwill totaled $87,695 at September 30, 2006 and represents the excess of the Company’s purchase cost over the fair value of the net assets of acquired businesses, net of previously recorded amortization and impairment expense. The net book value of other intangible assets at September 30, 2006 was $11,119. Other intangible assets consist primarily of the value assigned to such items as customer lists and tradenames in connection with the allocation of purchase price for acquisitions under Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 142 and are generally amortized on a straight-line basis over periods of up to ten years. Amortization expense totaled $746 and $403 for the six months ended September 30, 2006 and 2005.
Earnings Per Share — Basic earnings per share are calculated by dividing net income by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted earnings per share reflect net income divided by the weighted average number of common shares and dilutive stock options and restricted stock unit awards outstanding.

Supplemental Cash Flow Information — The consolidated statements of cash flows provide information about the Company’s sources and uses of cash and exclude the effects of non-cash transactions. For the six months ended September 30, 2006, the Company paid cash for interest and income taxes, net of refunds, totaling $3,038 and $20,317. For the six months ended September 30, 2005, the Company paid cash for interest and income taxes, net of refunds, totaling $2,679 and $5,117.
2. ACQUISITIONS
During the six months ended September 30, 2006, the Company (i) paid cash totaling $5,107 to acquire certain real property and (ii) received cash totaling $350 in connection with the finalization of certain working capital adjustments, in connection with certain prior year acquisitions. Based on certain additional information received by the Company regarding its fiscal 2006 acquisitions, $1,530 of purchase price previously attributed to other intangible assets was allocated to goodwill in the six month period ended September 30, 2006. The Company is awaiting additional information concerning certain asset and liability valuations in order to finalize the allocation of purchase price for certain of the Company’s 2006 acquisitions, and expects to receive such information no later than one year following the respective dates of the acquisitions.
3. LONG-TERM DEBT
The following is a summary of the Company’s long-term debt as of:
                 
    September 30,     March 31,  
    2006     2006  
Bank credit facilities
  $ 66,749     $ 43,051  
Term equipment notes
    40,033       44,037  
Other
    13,903       14,411  
 
           
 
    120,685       101,499

    (10,943 )     (10,821 )
 
           
 
  $ 109,742     $ 90,678  
 
           
At September 30, 2006, the Company’s primary bank credit facility (as amended and restated, the “Credit Agreement”) consisted of a $150,000 revolving credit facility scheduled to mature in July 2007. Outstanding borrowings at such date were $60,000 and accrued interest at a weighted average rate of 7.85%.
Under the terms of the Credit Agreement the proceeds from borrowings may be used to repay certain indebtedness, finance certain acquisitions, provide for working capital and general corporate purposes and, subject to certain restrictions, repurchase the Company’s common stock. Borrowings outstanding under the Credit Agreement are secured by substantially all of the Company’s assets other than real estate and certain equipment subject to term equipment notes and other financings. Borrowings under the Credit Agreement accrue interest, at the Company’s option, at either (1) the London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) plus a margin of 1.25% to 2.00%, or (2) an alternate base rate (based upon the greater of the agent bank’s prime lending rate or the Federal Funds effective rate plus .50%) plus a margin of up to .75%. The Company is also required to pay an annual commitment fee ranging from .275% to .375% on available but unused amounts under the Credit Agreement. The interest rate margin and the commitment fee are based upon certain financial performance measures as set forth in the Credit Agreement and are redetermined quarterly. At September 30, 2006, the applicable LIBOR interest rate margin was 1.25% and the applicable commitment fee was .275%.
The Company is subject to certain covenants and restrictions and must meet certain financial tests under the Credit Agreement. The Company was in compliance with such covenants, restrictions and financial tests at September 30, 2006.
In addition to the Credit Agreement, the Company maintains two auxiliary revolving credit facilities (each an “Auxiliary Bank Facility” and collectively the “Auxiliary Bank Facilities”) with commercial banks. Each Auxiliary Bank Facility is unsecured and has a maximum borrowing capacity of $5,000. At September 30, 2006, borrowings outstanding under the Auxiliary Bank Facilities totaled $6,749 and accrued interest at a weighted average rate of 6.65%. Because the Company currently has the ability and intends to refinance borrowings outstanding under the Auxiliary Bank Facilities upon their scheduled maturity in the third quarter of fiscal 2007, such borrowings are classified as long-term debt in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet at September 30, 2006. The Auxiliary Bank Facilities cross-default to the covenants and restrictions set forth in the Credit Agreement.

The Company’s term equipment notes consist primarily of notes payable pursuant to financing agreements between the Company and various lenders (the “Lender Notes”) and between the Company and the finance affiliate of a printing equipment manufacturer (the “Equipment Notes”). At September 30, 2006, outstanding borrowings under the Lender Notes totaled $26,722 and accrued interest at a weighted average rate of 5.58%. The Lender Notes provide for either fixed monthly principal payments plus interest (at fixed rates) or for fixed payments of principal and interest (at fixed rates) for defined periods of up to eight years from the date of issuance, and are secured by certain equipment of the Company. At September 30, 2006, outstanding borrowings under the Equipment Notes totaled $10,895 and accrued interest at a weighted average rate of 5.92%. The Equipment Notes provide for fixed payments of principal and interest (at fixed rates) for defined periods of up to ten years from the date of issuance and are secured by the equipment which was concurrently purchased from the manufacturer. At September 30, 2006, the remaining balance of term equipment notes totaling $2,416 primarily consists of various secured debt obligations assumed by the Company in connection with certain prior year acquisitions. The Company is not subject to any significant financial covenants in connection with any of the term equipment notes.
The Company’s remaining debt obligations consist of a mortgage note totaling $4,705, a promissory note totaling $1,797, industrial revenue bonds totaling $6,685 and various other debt obligations totaling $716. The Company does not have any significant financial covenants or restrictions associated with these other debt obligations.
Subsequent to September 30, 2006, the Company entered into a new revolving credit agreement (the “New Credit Agreement”) effectively amending and restating the Credit Agreement. The New Credit Agreement provides for a $155,000 revolving credit facility, with an accordion feature that could under prescribed conditions increase the amount to $240,000, and has a maturity date of October 6, 2011. Borrowings under the New Credit Agreement accrue interest, at the Company’s option, at either (1) the London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) plus a margin of .625% to 1.25%, or (2) an alternate base rate (based upon the greater of the agent bank’s prime lending rate or the Federal Funds effective rate plus .50%). The Company is also required to pay an annual commitment fee ranging from .15% to .25% on available but unused amounts under the New Credit Agreement. The interest rate margin and the commitment fee are based upon certain financial performance measures as set forth in the New Credit Agreement and are redetermined quarterly. At the commencement date of the New Credit Agreement, the applicable LIBOR interest rate margin was .625% and the applicable commitment fee was .15%.
4. SHARE — BASED COMPENSATION
The Company has a share-based compensation plan which is administered by the compensation committee of the Company’s Board of Directors. For additional information regarding this plan, refer to “Note 8. Stock Options” of the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements contained in the 2006 Form 10-K. Prior to April 1, 2006, the Company accounted for share-based compensation using the intrinsic value method in accordance with Accounting Principles Board Opinion (“APBO”) No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees.” Compensation expense is not recognized under APBO No. 25 for share-based compensation transactions made at fair-value on the date of grant.
In December 2004, SFAS No. 123(R), Share-Based Payment, was issued, pursuant to which the intrinsic value method of accounting under APBO No. 25 was superseded with a fair-value method that requires recognition of compensation expense in the consolidated statement of operations for all share-based compensation transactions.
Effective April 1, 2006, the Company adopted SFAS No. 123(R) using the modified prospective method of transition, pursuant to which, compensation expense is recognized over the vesting period in the consolidated statement of operations beginning with the date of adoption for (a) the unvested portion of share-based compensation transactions previously occurring and (b) all prospective share-based compensation transactions. For the six months ended September 30, 2006, the Company recognized share-based compensation expense of $1,737 and a related income tax benefit of $602. As of September 30, 2006, $2,572 of currently unrecognized share-based compensation expense remains to be recognized in future periods.
In addition, SFAS No. 123(R) provides that the benefit of certain tax deductions the Company receives in connection with the exercise of share-based compensation instruments be classified as cash flow from financing activities as compared to cash flow from operating activities as required under APBO No. 25. Accordingly, $3,219 of tax benefit is reflected as cash flow from financing activities and $356 of tax benefit is recognized as cash flow from operations in the accompanying consolidated statements of cash flows as of September 30, 2006 and 2005.

ITEM 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
The following discussion contains forward-looking information. Readers are cautioned that such information involves known and unknown risks and uncertainties, including those created by general market conditions, competition and the possibility that events may occur beyond our control, which may limit our ability to maintain or improve our operating results or financial condition or acquire additional printing businesses. When you consider our forward-looking information, you should keep in mind the Risk Factors described in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and in our most recently filed Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2006. Although management believes that the assumptions underlying the forward-looking statements are reasonable, any of the assumptions could be inaccurate and there can be no assurance that any or all of the assumptions underlying the forward-looking statements will prove to be accurate. The inclusion of such information should not be regarded as a representation by us or any other person that our objectives and plans will be achieved. We expressly disclaim any duty to provide updates to these forward-looking statements, assumptions or other factors after the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q to reflect the occurrence of events or changes in circumstances or expectations.
The following discussion of the financial condition and performance of our Company should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements included herein and the consolidated financial statements and related notes and other detailed information regarding our Company included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2006 and other reports filed by us with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Operating results for the six months ended September 30, 2006 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the entire fiscal year ending March 31, 2007 or any periods thereafter.
Overview
Our Organization
Consolidated Graphics is a leading national provider of commercial printing services and is recognized as the largest sheetfed and digital commercial printing company in the United States. Our corporate headquarters are in Houston, Texas, and we currently operate 67 printing businesses spanning 26 states. Each of our printing businesses has a well-established operating history, more than 25 years in most cases. Complementing the printing services we provide, we also offer (i) state-of-the-art fulfillment services from 12 fulfillment centers located at or near one of our printing businesses and (ii) proprietary digital technology solutions and e-commerce capabilities from two technology hubs located at our corporate headquarters and at one of our printing businesses near Washington D.C. Generally, each facility substantially relies on locally-based customers; accordingly, we have a broad diversification of customers by industry-type and geographic orientation, totaling more than 22,000. No individual facility or any individual customer account for more than 10% of our revenues.
Our printing businesses maintain their own sales, customer service, estimating and planning, prepress, production and accounting departments. Our corporate headquarters staff provides support to our printing businesses in such areas as human resources, purchasing and management information systems. We also maintain centralized treasury, risk management, tax and consolidated financial reporting activities.
Nature of Our Services
We are a service business that utilizes sophisticated technology and equipment to produce high-quality, custom-designed printed materials for a large base of customers in a broad cross-section of industries, the majority of which are located in the markets our printing businesses are based. In addition to providing a full range of prepress, digital and offset printing and finishing services, our printing businesses offer fulfillment and mailing services, as well as e-commerce software solutions and other print-related, value-added services. Most of the e-commerce solutions are Internet-based, and like the printed materials we produce, are customized to the specific needs of our customers. For marketing purposes, we refer to our e-commerce capabilities using the “CGXSolutions” trademark. Collectively, all of these discrete capabilities comprise a “comprehensive range of printing services” for which we typically charge an “all-inclusive” fee. Accordingly, for financial reporting purposes, we report our revenues and results of operations as a single segment.
Our sales are derived from commercial printing services. These services consist of (i) traditional print services, including electronic prepress, printing, finishing, storage and delivery of high-quality materials which are custom manufactured to our customers’ design specifications; (ii) fulfillment and mailing services for such printed materials; and (iii) digital technology solutions and e-commerce capabilities that enable our customers to more efficiently procure and manage printed material and/or design, procure, distribute, track and analyze results of printing-based marketing programs and activities. Examples of the types of documents we print for our customers include high-quality, multi-color marketing materials, product and capability brochures, point-of-purchase displays, direct mail pieces, shareholder communications, catalogs, and training manuals.

Most of our sales are generated by individual orders through commissioned sales personnel. We recognize revenue from these orders when we deliver the ordered goods and services. To a large extent, continued engagement of our Company by our customers for successive business opportunities depends upon the customers’ satisfaction with the quality of services we provide. As such, it is difficult for us to predict with any high degree of certainty the number, size, and profitability of printing services that we expect to provide for more than a few weeks in advance.
Our cost of sales mainly consists of raw materials consumed in the printing process, as well as labor and outside services, such as delivery costs. Paper cost is the most significant component of our materials cost; however, fluctuation in paper pricing generally does not materially impact our operating margins because we typically quote, and subsequently purchase, paper for each specific printing project we are awarded. As a result, any changes in paper pricing are effectively passed through to customers by our printing businesses. Additionally, our cost of sales includes salary and benefits paid to operating personnel, maintenance, repair, rental and insurance costs associated with operating our facilities and equipment and depreciation charges.
Our selling expenses generally include the compensation paid to our sales professionals, along with promotional, travel and entertainment costs. Our general and administrative expenses generally include the salary and benefits paid to support personnel at our printing businesses and our corporate staff, as well as office rent, utilities and communications expenses, various professional services and amortization of identifiable intangible assets.
Our Strategy
We are focused on adding value to our printing businesses by providing the financial and operational strengths, management support and technological advantages associated with a national organization. Our strategy currently includes the following initiatives to generate sales and profit growth:
   
Internal Sales Growth—We seek to use our competitive advantages to expand market share. We continue to pursue additional experienced sales professionals, invest in new equipment and technology, expand our national accounts program, promote cross-selling opportunities among individual facilities, and develop new and expanded digital technology-based print-related services.
 
   
Disciplined Acquisition Program—We selectively pursue opportunities to acquire additional printing businesses at reasonable prices. Some of these acquisitions may include smaller and/or distressed printing businesses for merger into one of our existing businesses.
 
   
Cost Savings—Because of our size and national presence, we leverage our economies of scale to purchase raw materials, supplies and equipment at preferential prices, and centralize various administrative services to generate cost savings.
 
   
Best Practices/Benchmarking—We provide a forum for our printing businesses to share their knowledge of technical processes and their best practices with one another, as well as benchmark financial and operational data to help our printing businesses identify and respond to changes in operating trends.
 
   
Leadership Development—Through our unique Leadership Development Program, we develop college graduates for future sales and management positions at our printing businesses.

Our sales and expenses during the periods shown were impacted by the acquisition of four printing businesses (two as tuck-ins) in fiscal 2006. In accordance with the purchase method of accounting, our consolidated income statements reflect sales and expenses of acquired businesses only for post-acquisition periods. Accordingly, acquisitions affect our financial results in any period compared to the prior year period by the full-period impact of prior year acquisitions (as compared to the partial period impact in the prior year) and the partial-period impact of current year acquisitions, and is referred to below as “incremental impact of acquisitions.”
Comparative Analysis of Consolidated Income Statements for the Three Months Ended September 30, 2006 and 2005
Sales in the three month period ended September 30, 2006 increased $13.2 million, or 6%, to $234.2 million from $221.0 million for the same period in the prior year. The $13.2 million revenue increase is attributable to $4.6 million of internal sales growth and $8.6 million from the incremental impact of acquisitions. Election—related printing, which recurs generally on a bi-annual basis, accounted for $3.6 million of our internal sales growth. The remainder of our internal sales growth was primarily attributable to our strategic sales initiatives, consisting of national sales, CGXSolutions and cross-selling. Compared to the prior year, national sales were up 17% in the September quarter and accounted for 8% of total sales and sales attributable to our CGXSolutions sales channel (including $3.2 million to national accounts) were up 69% in the September quarter and accounted for 7% of total sales.
Gross profit in the three months ended September 30, 2006 increased $8.3 million, or 16%, to $62.4 million from $54.1 million for the same period in the prior year. Approximately $5.0 million of the increase is attributable to the increased

sales levels discussed above, including the incremental impact of acquisitions. The remaining increase of $3.3 million is attributable to (i) margin leverage as certain of our operating costs are more fixed in nature (for example depreciation and rent expense) and (ii) incremental purchasing and pricing gains that we have been able to achieve.
Selling expense in the three months ended September 30, 2006 increased $1.0 million, or 5%, to $23.5 million from $22.5 million for the same period in the prior year. The increase is directly attributable to the increased sales levels noted above. As a percentage of sales, selling expenses decreased to 10.1% in the current quarter as compared to 10.2% for the same period last year as (i) our sales growth leveraged certain selling expenses which are more fixed in nature (for example sales meetings and training) and (ii) certain of our sales growth including election-related printing bears a lower level of sales commission and other expense.
General and administrative expenses in the three months ended September 30, 2006 decreased $.2 million, or 1%. Share-based compensation expense of $.5 million recognized in the current quarter was offset by the recognition of a one-time sales and use tax credit of $.6 million. Our sales growth discussed above combined with the fixed nature of much of our general and administrative expense and our focus on controlling costs resulted in a 50 basis point decrease in general and administrative expenses as a percentage of sales.
Interest expense in the three months ended September 30, 2006 increased $0.4 million, or 25%, to $1.8 million from $1.4 million in the same period in the prior year, due principally to a higher level of average debt outstanding and a generally higher interest rate environment.
We provided for income taxes in the three months ended September 30, 2006 of $8.4 million, reflecting an effective tax rate of 38.1% as compared to an effective tax rate of 37.9% for the same period in the prior year.
Comparative Analysis of Consolidated Income Statements for the Six Months Ended September 30, 2006 and 2005
Sales in the six month period ended September 30, 2006 increased $41.8 million, or 10%, to $472.7 million from $430.9 million for the same period in the prior year. The $41.8 million revenue increase is attributable to $24.0 million of internal sales growth and $17.8 million from the incremental impact of acquisitions. Approximately 40% of our internal sales growth resulted from election-related printing, which recurs generally on a bi-annual basis. The remainder of our internal sales growth was primarily attributable to our strategic sales initiatives, consisting of national sales, CGXSolutions and cross-selling. Compared to the prior year, national sales were up 44% and accounted for 9% of total sales and sales attributable to our CGXSolutions sales channel (including $4.5 million to national accounts) were up 93% and accounted for 6% of total sales.
Gross profit in the six months ended September 30, 2006 increased $20.6 million, or 19%, to $126.5 million from $105.9 million for the same period in the prior year. Approximately $10.2 million of the increase is attributable to the increased sales levels discussed above, including the incremental impact of acquisitions. The remaining increase of $10.4 million is attributable to (i) margin leverage as certain of our operating costs are more fixed in nature (for example depreciation and rent expense) and (ii) incremental purchasing and pricing gains that we have been able to achieve.
Selling expense in the six months ended September 30, 2006 increased $3.4 million, or 8%, to $47.9 million from $44.5 million for the same period in the prior year. The increase is directly attributable to the increased sales levels noted above. As a percentage of sales, selling expenses decreased to 10.1% in the six months ended September 30, 2006 as compared to 10.3% for the same period last year as (i) our sales growth leveraged certain selling expenses which are more fixed in nature (for example sales meetings and training) and (ii) certain of our sales growth including election-related printing bears a lower level of sales commission and other expense.
General and administrative expenses in the six months ended September 30, 2006 increased $2.7 million, or 9%, to $32.2 million from $29.5 million in the same period in the prior year. Recognition of share-based compensation expense totaling $1.7 million was the most significant element of the increase. The remainder of the increase was primarily attributable to the incremental impact of acquisitions, net of a one-time sales and use tax credit of $.6 million. As a percentage of sales, general and administrative expenses were unchanged from the prior year as leverage from our sales growth discussed above offset the aforementioned net increase in expenses, as most types of general and administrative expenses we incur are generally fixed from period-to-period.
Interest expense in the six months ended September 30, 2006 increased $0.4 million, or 14%, to $3.2 million from $2.8 million in the same period in the prior year, due principally to a higher level of average debt outstanding and a generally higher interest rate environment.

We provided for income taxes for in the six months ended September 30, 2006 of $15.8 million, reflecting an effective tax rate of 36.5% as compared to an effective tax rate of 37.9% for the same period in the prior year. A one-time credit of $0.7 million, or 1.6% of taxable income, was recognized in the current period for the impact of a net reduction in legislated state income tax rates on previously provided deferred income taxes.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Sources and Uses of Cash
Our historical sources of cash have primarily been cash provided by operations or borrowings under our various bank credit facilities. Our historical uses of cash have been for acquisitions of printing businesses, capital expenditures, payment of principal and interest on outstanding debt obligations and repurchases of our common stock. Supplemental information pertaining to our historical sources and uses of cash is presented as follows and should be read in conjunction with our consolidated statements of cash flows and notes thereto included in Item 1. Financial Statements:

Included in capital expenditures above is $2.0 million which was reflected as an accrued liability in the March 31, 2006 balance sheet.
Additionally, our cash position, working capital and debt obligations are shown below and should be read in conjunction with our consolidated balance sheets and notes thereto included in Item 1. Financial Statements:
                 
    September 30,     March 31,

Working capital, inclusive of cash and cash equivalents
    100.9       67.5  
Total debt obligations
    120.7       101.5  
During the six months ended September 30, 2006, net cash provided by operating activities decreased by $14.5 million as compared to the same period last year. This decrease principally resulted from a significant increase in working capital, excluding cash and cash equivalents, as compared to the same period last year, partially offset by a $9.3 million year-over-year increase in net income. The increase in fiscal 2007 working capital includes increases in accounts receivable and inventories totaling $25.5 million attributable to both internal growth and a seasonal fluctuation caused in part by election-related printing which recurs generally on a bi-annual basis.
We believe that our cash flow provided by operations will be adequate to cover our fiscal 2007 working capital needs, debt service requirements and planned capital expenditures to the extent such items are known or are reasonably determinable based on current business and market conditions. However, we may elect to finance certain of our capital expenditure requirements through borrowings under our primary bank credit facility or the issuance of additional term equipment notes.
We intend to continue pursuing acquisition opportunities at prices we believe are reasonable based upon market conditions. However, we cannot accurately predict the timing, size or success of our acquisition efforts or our associated potential capital commitments. There can be no assurance that we will be able to acquire additional printing businesses on terms acceptable to us. During the six months ended September 30, 2006, the Company announced that it had entered into non-binding letters of intent to acquire Global Group Inc. in Fort Worth, Texas and Annan & Bird Lithographers Ltd., located near Toronto in Mississauga, Ontario.
We expect to fund acquisitions in the foreseeable future through cash flow provided by operations and/or additional borrowings. We have in the past issued our common stock as purchase price consideration in some of our acquisitions.

Table of Contents

Although we may issue common stock for such purposes in the future, we do not expect to do so in the foreseeable future because of our current financial liquidity and ability to utilize available cash or make additional borrowings instead of issuing common stock. The extent to which we will be willing or able to use our common stock in the future to make acquisitions will depend on its market value from time to time and the willingness of potential sellers to accept it as full or partial payment for the acquisition price, as well as our financial liquidity and available financing options.
In May 2006, our Board of Directors approved a common stock share repurchase program that will expire in May 2007 providing for repurchases of our common stock not to exceed an aggregate of $68.3 million in open-market or block purchase transactions. We expect to fund any repurchases under the program through cash flow provided by operations or additional borrowings under our primary bank credit facility. The amount and timing of any purchases will depend upon a number of factors, including our liquidity and potential alternative uses of our capital resources, the price and availability of our shares, and general market conditions. During the six month period ended September 30, 2006, we repurchased 424,300 shares of our common stock at a total cost of $22.1 million. Subsequent to September 30, 2006, we have repurchased an additional 37,800 shares of our common stock at a total cost of $2.3 million. There can be no assurance that we will determine to make additional repurchases of our common stock, and if so, whether we will be able to do so on terms acceptable to us.
Debt Obligations
At September 30, 2006, our primary bank credit facility (as amended and restated, the “Credit Agreement,”) consisted of a $150.0 million revolving credit facility scheduled to mature in July 2007. Outstanding borrowings at such date were $60.0 million and accrued interest at a weighted average rate of 7.85%.
Under the terms of the Credit Agreement the proceeds from borrowings may be used to repay certain indebtedness, finance certain acquisitions, provide for working capital and general corporate purposes and, subject to certain restrictions, repurchase our common stock. Borrowings outstanding under the Credit Agreement are secured by substantially all of our assets other than real estate and certain equipment subject to term equipment notes and other financings. Borrowings under the Credit Agreement accrue interest, at our option, at either (1) the London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR) plus a margin of 1.25% to 2.00%, or (2) an alternate base rate (based upon the greater of the agent bank’s prime lending rate or the Federal Funds effective rate plus .50%) plus a margin of up to .75%. We are also required to pay an annual commitment fee ranging from .275% to .375% on available but unused amounts under the Credit Agreement. The interest rate margin and the commitment fee are based upon certain financial performance measures as set forth in the Credit Agreement and are redetermined quarterly. At September 30, 2006, the applicable LIBOR interest rate margin was 1.25% and the applicable commitment fee was .275%.
We are subject to certain covenants and restrictions and we must meet certain financial tests as defined in the Credit Agreement. We were in compliance with these covenants and financial tests at September 30, 2006. In the event that we are unable to remain in compliance with these covenants and financial tests in the future, our lenders would have the right to declare us in default with respect to such obligations, and consequently, certain of our other debt obligations, including substantially all of our term equipment notes, would be deemed to also be in default. All debt obligations in default would be required to be re-classified as a current liability. In the event that we were to be unable to obtain a waiver, re-negotiate or re-finance these obligations, a material adverse effect on our ability to conduct our operations in the ordinary course likely would be the result. Based on our view of current market and business conditions and our expectations regarding our future operating results and cash flows, we believe that we will be able to remain in compliance with these covenants and financial tests in the foreseeable future.
In addition to the Credit Agreement, we maintain two auxiliary revolving credit facilities (each an “Auxiliary Bank Facility” and collectively the “Auxiliary Bank Facilities”) with commercial banks. Each Auxiliary Bank Facility is unsecured and has a maximum borrowing capacity of $5.0 million. At September 30, 2006, borrowings outstanding under the Auxiliary Bank Facilities totaled $6.8 million and accrued interest at a weighted average rate of 6.65%. Because we currently have the ability and intend to refinance the borrowings outstanding under the Auxiliary Bank Facilities upon their scheduled maturity in the third quarter of fiscal 2007, such borrowings are classified as long-term debt in our consolidated balance sheet at September 30, 2006. The Auxiliary Bank Facilities cross-default to the covenants and restrictions set forth in the Credit Agreement.
Our term equipment notes consist primarily of notes payable pursuant to financing agreements between us and various lenders (the “Lender Notes”) and between us and the finance affiliate of a printing equipment manufacturer (the “Equipment Notes”). At September 30, 2006, outstanding borrowings under the Lender Notes totaled $26.7 million and accrued interest at a weighted average rate of 5.58%. The Lender Notes provide for either fixed monthly principal payments plus interest (at fixed rates) or for fixed payments of principal and interest (at fixed rates) for defined periods of up to eight years from the date of issuance, and are secured by certain equipment of the Company. At September 30, 2006, outstanding

borrowings under the Equipment Notes totaled $10.9 million and accrued interest at a weighted average rate of 5.92%. The Equipment Notes provide for fixed payments of principal and interest (at fixed rates) for defined periods of up to ten years from the date of issuance and are secured by equipment which was concurrently purchased from the manufacturer. At September 30, 2006, the remaining balance of term equipment notes totaling $2.4 million primarily consists of various secured debt obligations assumed by us in connection with certain prior year acquisitions. We are not subject to any significant financial covenants in connection with any of the term equipment notes.
Our other debt obligations consist of a mortgage note of $4.7 million, a promissory note totaling $1.8 million, industrial revenue bonds totaling $6.7 million and various other debt obligations totaling $0.7 million. We do not have any significant financial covenants or restrictions associated with these other debt obligations.
Subsequent to September 30, 2006, we entered into a new revolving credit agreement (the “New Credit Agreement”) effectively amending and restating the Credit Agreement. The New Credit Agreement provides for a $155.0 million revolving credit facility, with an accordion feature that could under prescribed conditions increase the amount to $240.0 million, and has a maturity date of October 6, 2011. Borrowings under the New Credit Agreement accrue interest, at our option, at either (1) the London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR) plus a margin of .625% to 1.25%, or (2) an alternate base rate (based upon the greater of the agent bank’s prime lending rate or the Federal Funds effective rate plus .50%). We are also required to pay an annual commitment fee ranging from .15% to .25% on available but unused amounts under the New Credit Agreement. The interest rate margin and the commitment fee are based upon certain financial performance measures as set forth in the New Credit Agreement and are redetermined quarterly. At September 30, 2006, the applicable LIBOR interest rate margin was .625% and the applicable commitment fee was .15%.
Contractual Obligations and Other Commitments
Operating leases — We have entered into various noncancelable operating leases primarily related to facilities and equipment used in the ordinary course of our business. Our future contractual obligations under such operating leases total approximately $58.2 million as of September 30, 2006.
Letters of credit — In connection with our assumption of obligations under outstanding industrial revenue bonds, which are reflected as debt in the accompanying consolidated financial statements, and our assumption of certain contingent liabilities related to certain of our acquisitions, we had letters of credit outstanding as of September 30, 2006 totaling $8.7 million. In addition, we had one other letter of credit totaling $0.1 million outstanding as of September 30, 2006. All of these letters of credit were issued pursuant to the terms of our Credit Agreement and extended under the terms of the New Credit Agreement.
Insurance programs — We maintain third-party insurance coverage in amounts and against risks we believe are reasonable under our circumstances. We are self-insured for most workers’ compensation claims and for a significant component of our group health insurance programs. For these exposures, we accrue expected loss amounts which are determined using a combination of our historical loss experience and subjective assessment of our future loss exposure, together with advice provided by administrators and consulting actuaries. The estimates of expected loss amounts are subject to uncertainties arising from various sources, including changes in claims reporting patterns, claims settlement patterns, judicial decisions, legislation and economic conditions, which could result in an increase or decrease in accrued costs in future periods for claim matters which occurred in a prior period. Although we believe that the accrued estimated loss amounts are reasonable under the circumstances, significant differences related to the items noted above could materially affect our risk exposure, insurance obligations, and future expense.
Critical Accounting Policies
We have identified our critical accounting policies based on the following factors — significance to our overall financial statement presentation, complexity of the policy and its use of estimates and assumptions. We are required to make certain estimates and assumptions in determining the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent liabilities and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses. We evaluate our estimates and assumptions on an ongoing basis and rely on historical experience and various other factors that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances to determine such estimates. Because uncertainties with respect to estimates and assumptions are inherent in the preparation of financial statements, actual results could differ from these estimates.
Receivables, net of valuation allowance — Accounts receivable at September 30, 2006 were $160.4 million, net of a $2.5 million allowance for doubtful accounts. The valuation allowance was determined based upon our evaluation of known requirements, aging of receivables, historical experience and the current economic environment. While we believe we have

appropriately considered known or expected outcomes, our customers’ ability to pay their obligations could be adversely affected by contraction in the economy or other factors beyond our control. Changes in our estimates of collectibility could have a material adverse affect on our consolidated financial condition or results of operations.
Goodwill We evaluate the carrying value of our goodwill as of March 31st of each year, or at any time that management becomes aware of an indication of impairment. Our evaluation is based on certain data estimated by management to be indicators of future cash flows at each of our facilities. Estimating future cash flows requires judgments regarding future economic conditions, demand for services and pricing. Our evaluation also makes use of estimates of market multiples of cash flow at which transactions could be completed in the current market. If our estimates of future cash flows or market multiples prove to be materially inaccurate, an impairment charge could be necessary in future periods.
Impairment of long-lived assets — We evaluate long-lived assets, including property, plant and equipment and intangible assets other than goodwill whenever events or changes in conditions indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable. The evaluation requires us to estimate future undiscounted cash flows associated with an asset or group of assets. If the cost of the asset or group of assets cannot be recovered by these undiscounted cash flows, then an impairment may exist. Estimating future cash flows requires judgments regarding future economic conditions, demand for services and pricing. Although we believe our estimates are reasonable, significant differences in the actual performance of the asset or group of assets may materially affect our asset values and require an impairment charge in future periods.
Insurance liabilities — We are self-insured for the majority of our workers’ compensation and group health insurance costs. Insurance claims liabilities have been accrued using a combination of our historical loss experience and subjective assessment of our future loss exposure, together with advice provided by administrators and consulting actuaries. The estimates of expected loss amounts are subject to uncertainties arising from various sources, including changes in claims reporting patterns, claims settlement patterns, judicial decisions, legislation and economic conditions, which could result in an increase or decrease in accrued costs in future periods for claim matters which occurred in a prior period.
Accounting for income taxes — As part of the process of preparing our consolidated financial statements, we are required to estimate our income taxes. This process involves estimating our actual current tax exposure, together with assessing temporary differences resulting from differing treatment of items for tax and financial reporting purposes. The tax effects of these temporary differences are recorded as deferred tax assets or deferred tax liabilities. We must then assess the likelihood that our deferred tax assets will be recovered from future taxable income, and to the extent we believe that recovery is not likely, we must establish a valuation allowance. Significant judgment is required in determining our provision for income taxes, our deferred tax assets and liabilities and any valuation allowance recorded against our net deferred tax assets. Additionally, we establish reserves when, despite our belief that our tax return positions are fully supportable, we believe that certain positions are likely to be challenged and that we may not succeed. We adjust these reserves in light of changing facts and circumstances. Our effective tax rate includes the impact of reserve provisions and changes to reserves that we consider appropriate.
Accounting for acquisitions — The allocations of purchase price to acquired assets and liabilities are initially based on estimates of fair value and is prospectively revised if and when additional information we are waiting for at the time of the initial allocations concerning certain asset and liability valuations is obtained, provided that such information is received no later than one year after the date of acquisition. In addition, we retain an independent third-party valuation firm to assist in the identification, valuation and determination of useful lives of identifiable intangible assets in connection with our acquisitions.
New Accounting Pronouncements
In June 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Interpretation No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes (FIN 48). FIN 48 clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an enterprise’s financial statements in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes. FIN 48 prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. FIN 48 also provides guidance on derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure and transition. FIN 48 will be effective for us beginning April 1, 2007. We have not yet evaluated the effect FIN 48 will have on our financial statements and related disclosures.
ITEM 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosure About Market Risk
Market risk generally means the risk that losses may occur in the value of certain financial instruments as a result of movements in interest rates, foreign currency exchange rates and commodity prices. We do not currently hold or utilize derivative financial instruments that could expose our Company to market risk. However, we are exposed to market risk for

changes in interest rates related primarily to our debt obligations, which as of September 30, 2006 include borrowings under our bank credit facilities, various term equipment notes and other debt obligations. As of September 30, 2006, there were no material changes in our market risk or the estimated fair value of our debt obligations relative to their recorded value, as reported in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2006.
ITEM 4. Controls and Procedures
Disclosure Controls and Procedures
The Company’s management, with the participation of the Company’s Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) and Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”), has evaluated the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)) as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on such evaluation, the Company’s CEO and CFO have concluded that, as of the end of such period, the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms.
Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
There have not been any changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) during the fiscal quarter to which this report relates that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.
