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 nine months ended December 31, 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:
                 
    December 31,     March 31,  
    2006     2006  
Raw materials
  $ 14,244     $ 11,485  
Work in progress
    24,484       21,951  
Finished goods
    5,312       4,994  
 
           
 
  $ 44,040     $ 38,430  
 
           
Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets, net — Goodwill totaled $87,493 at December 31, 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 December 31, 2006 was $10,756. 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 $1,209 and $818 for the nine months ended December 31, 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. Certain of the Company’s capital expenditures are considered to be non-cash transactions, including for the nine months ended December 31, 2006, $5,110, which was financed using term notes (See Note 3. Long-term Debt). For the nine months ended December 31, 2006, the Company paid cash for interest and income taxes, net of refunds, totaling $4,660 and $23,466. For the nine months ended December 31, 2005, the Company paid cash for interest and income taxes, net of refunds, totaling $3,912 and $12,228.
2.  
ACQUISITIONS
During the nine months ended December 31, 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 nine month period ended December 31, 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 acquisition.
Subsequent to December 31, 2006, the Company completed the acquisitions, of Annan and Bird Lithographers Partnership (“Annan & Bird”), located near Toronto in Mississauga, Ontario and The Hennegan Company, located near Cincinnati in Florence, Kentucky.

  $ 80,953     $ 90,678  
 
           
On October 6, 2006, the Company entered into a new revolving credit agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) effectively amending and restating our primary bank credit facility. The Credit Agreement provides for a $155,000 revolving credit facility, with an accordion feature that could under prescribed conditions increase the facility to $240,000, and has a maturity date of October 6, 2011. At December 31, 2006, outstanding borrowings were $22,000 and accrued interest at a weighted average rate of 6.61%.
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 .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 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 December 31, 2006, the applicable LIBOR interest rate margin was .625% and the applicable commitment fee was .15%.
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 December 31, 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. One facility expires in October 2008 while the other facility expires in December 2007. At December 31, 2006, outstanding borrowings under the Auxiliary Bank Facilities totaled $7,461 and accrued interest at a weighted average rate of 6.32%. Because the Company currently has the ability and intends to refinance borrowings outstanding under the Auxiliary Bank Facility expiring in December 2007, such borrowings are classified as long-term debt in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet at December 31, 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 December 31, 2006, outstanding borrowings under the Lender Notes totaled $38,558 and accrued interest at a weighted average rate of 5.85%. 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 December 31, 2006, outstanding borrowings under the Equipment Notes totaled $10,455 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 December 31, 2006, the remaining balance of term equipment notes totaling $2,222 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 $4,657, a promissory note totaling $1,804, industrial revenue bonds totaling $6,185 and various other debt obligations totaling $1,150. The Company does not have any significant financial covenants or restrictions associated with these other debt obligations.
Subsequent to December 31, 2006, the Company entered into a First Amendment (the “Amendment”) to the Credit Agreement. The Amendment specifically (i) consented (a) to the incurrence of indebtedness and the maximum amount of indebtedness that can be incurred under the A&B Credit Facility (as defined below) and (b) to the guaranty of the A&B Credit Facility by the Company and (ii) waived certain provisions of the Credit Agreement that would have been applicable to the acquisition of Annan & Bird (See Note 2. Acquisitions).
Concurrently with the Amendment, the Company entered into an unsecured credit facility with a commercial bank (the “A&B Credit Facility”) consisting of a US$35,000 maximum borrowing limit component and a separate Canadian $5,000 maximum borrowing limit component. U.S. dollar denominated borrowings under the A&B Credit Facility accrue interest and bear an annual commitment fee at rates equal to those applicable to borrowings by the Company under the Credit Agreement. Canadian dollar denominated borrowings under the A&B Credit Facility accrue interest at the Company’s option, at either (1) the Canadian Dollar Offer Rate plus a margin of .625% to 1.25%, or (2) an alternate base rate based upon the Canadian Prime Rate. The Company is also required to pay an annual commitment fee ranging from .15% to .25% on available but unused Canadian dollar amounts. For both components, the interest rate margin and the commitment fee are based upon the financial performance measures set forth in the Credit Agreement and are redetermined quarterly. An annual reduction of US$4,000 on the U.S. dollar denominated commitment occurs on each anniversary date of the A&B Credit Facility until the final maturity date of January 2, 2011. There are no significant covenants or restrictions set forth in the A&B Credit Facility; however, a default by the Company under the Credit Agreement will constitute a default under the A&B Credit Facility. Proceeds from borrowings under the A&B Credit Facility may be used by the Company for general corporate purposes, including the acquisition of Annan & Bird.
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 nine months ended December 31, 2006, the Company recognized share-based compensation expense of $2,245 and a related income tax benefit of $841. As of December 31, 2006, $2,382 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, $3,262 of tax benefit is reflected as cash flow from financing activities and $990 of tax benefit is recognized as cash flow from operations in the accompanying consolidated statements of cash flows as of December 31, 2006 and 2005.
As discussed above, results of operations for periods prior to April 1, 2006 have not been restated to reflect the provisions of SFAS No. 123(R). The following table sets forth pro forma information as if share-based compensation expense for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2005 was determined using the fair-value method of accounting.

Our share-based payments consist of stock options and restricted stock awards. For stock options, we determine the fair value of each stock option at the grant date using a Black-Scholes model, with the following weighted-average assumptions used for grants made during the nine months ended December 31, 2005; dividends per quarter of zero; expected volatility of 32.7%; an average risk-free interest rate of 4.1%; and an average expected life of 5 years. For grants made during the nine months ended December 31, 2006 assumptions used were as follows; dividends per quarter of zero; expected volatility of 33.8%; an average risk-free interest rate of 4.2%; and an average expected life of 5 years.
The Company granted an award of 12,500 restricted stock unit awards during the nine months ended December 31, 2006 having a fair value of $651. The following table summarizes restricted stock unit award activity for the nine months ended December 31, 2006:

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 nine months ended December 31, 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 North America. Our corporate headquarters are in Houston, Texas, and we currently operate 68 printing businesses spanning 27 states plus one Canadian province. 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 December 31, 2006 and 2005
Sales in the three month period ended December 31, 2006 increased $43.4 million, or 19%, to $269.6 million from $226.2 million for the same period in the prior year. The $43.4 million revenue increase is attributable to $34.7 million of internal sales growth and $8.7 million from the incremental impact of acquisitions. Election–related printing, which recurs generally on a bi-annual basis, accounted for $13.9 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 47% in the December quarter and accounted for 10% of total sales and sales attributable to our CGXSolutions sales channel (including $1.3 million of national sales) were up 5% in the December quarter and accounted for 5% of total sales.
Gross profit in the three months ended December 31, 2006 increased $16.7 million, or 30%, to $72.4 million from $55.7 million for the same period in the prior year. Approximately $10.7 million of the increase is attributable to the increased sales levels discussed above, including the incremental impact of acquisitions. The remaining increase of $6.0 million accounts for the increase in gross profit percentage to 26.8% compared to 24.6% and 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.

Table of Contents

Selling expense in the three months ended December 31, 2006 increased $3.2 million, or 14%, to $26.5 million from $23.3 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 9.8% in the current quarter 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 overhead) 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 December 31, 2006 increased $3.6 million, or 24%, to $18.7 million from $15.1 million for the same period in the prior year due principally to the incremental impact of acquisitions (including direct expenses and incremental intangible asset amortization) and due to the current period recognition of $.5 million of share-based compensation expense. As a percentage of sales, general and administrative expenses increased to 6.9% in the current quarter as compared to 6.6% for the same period last year. This increase is principally attributable to incremental current period costs, including, of more relative significance, intangible asset amortization, allowance for doubtful accounts and share-based compensation expense.
Interest expense in the three months ended December 31, 2006 increased $.2 million, or 9%, to $1.6 million from $1.4 million in the same period in the prior year, due principally to a higher level of average debt outstanding.
We provided for income taxes in the three months ended December 31, 2006 of $9.2 million, reflecting an effective tax rate of 36.0% as compared to an effective tax rate of 37.3% for the same period in the prior year. An increase in the estimated domestic production activities deduction for the current year contributed to the decrease in our effective tax rate. Also, due to the increase in pretax earnings, non-deductible expenses were a smaller percentage of pretax earnings, thus lowering our effective tax rate.
Comparative Analysis of Consolidated Income Statements for the Nine Months Ended December 31, 2006 and 2005
Sales in the nine month period ended December 31, 2006 increased $85.2 million, or 13%, to $742.3 million from $657.1 million for the same period in the prior year. The $85.2 million revenue increase is attributable to $58.7 million of internal sales growth and $26.5 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 45% and accounted for 9% of total sales and sales attributable to our CGXSolutions sales channel (including $5.8 million of national sales) were up 55% and accounted for 6% of total sales.
Gross profit in the nine months ended December 31, 2006 increased $37.2 million, or 23%, to $198.8 million from $161.6 million for the same period in the prior year. Approximately $21.0 million of the increase is attributable to the increased sales levels discussed above, including the incremental impact of acquisitions. The remaining increase of $16.2 million accounts for the increase in gross profit percentage to 26.8% compared to 24.6% and 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 nine months ended December 31, 2006 increased $6.5 million, or 10%, to $74.4 million from $67.9 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 10.0% in the nine months ended December 31, 2006 as compared to 10.3% for the same period in the prior year as (i) our sales growth leveraged certain selling expenses which are more fixed in nature (for example sales meetings and overhead) 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 nine months ended December 31, 2006 increased $6.3 million, or 14%, to $50.9 million from $44.6 million in the same period in the prior year. Recognition of share-based compensation expense totaling $2.2 million was the most significant element of the increase. The remainder of the increase was primarily attributable to the incremental impact of acquisitions (including direct expenses and incremental intangible asset amortization), net of a one-time sales and use tax credit of $.6 million. Overall, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of sales increased slightly to 6.9% in the nine months ended December 31, 2006 as compared to 6.8% for the same period in the prior year.
Interest expense in the nine months ended December 31, 2006 increased $.5 million, or 12%, to $4.7 million from $4.2 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.

Table of Contents

We provided for income taxes for in the nine months ended December 31, 2006 of $25.0 million, reflecting an effective tax rate of 36.3% as compared to an effective tax rate of 37.7% for the same period in the prior year. A one-time credit of $.7 million, or 1.0% 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. An increase in the estimated domestic production activities deduction for the current year contributed to the decrease in our effective tax rate. In addition, due to the increase in pretax earnings, non-deductible expenses were a smaller percentage of pretax earnings, thus lowering our effective tax rate.
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 for 2006 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:
                 
    December 31,     March 31,  
    2006     2006

Working capital, inclusive of cash and cash equivalents
    87.5       67.5  
Total debt obligations
    94.5       101.5  
During the nine months ended December 31, 2006, net cash provided by operating activities decreased by $.4 million as compared to the same period last year. Although net income increased by $15.8 million, an offsetting increase in working capital, excluding cash and cash equivalents, caused the slight decline in net cash provided by operating activities.
We believe that our cash flow provided by operations will be adequate to cover our remaining 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 nine months ended December 31, 2006, the Company announced that it had entered into non-binding letters of intent to acquire Global Group Inc. in Fort Worth, Texas, Annan & Bird Lithographers, located near Toronto in Mississauga, Ontario and The Hennegan Company, located outside of Cincinnati, Ohio in Florence, Kentucky. Subsequent to December 31, 2006, we completed the acquisitions of Annan & Bird Lithographers and The Hennegan Company.

Table of Contents

The Annan & Bird Lithographers and The Hennegan Company acquisitions were funded principally by borrowings under bank credit facilities. We expect to fund future acquisitions 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. 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 nine month period ended December 31, 2006, we repurchased 465,644 shares of our common stock at a total cost of $24.7 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.

On October 6, 2006, we entered into a new revolving credit agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) effectively amending and restating our primary bank credit facility. The Credit Agreement provides for a $155.0 million revolving credit facility, with an accordion feature that could under prescribed conditions increase the facility to $240.0 million, and has a maturity date of October 6, 2011. At December 31, 2006, outstanding borrowings were $22.0 million and accrued interest at a weighted average rate of 6.61%.
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 .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 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 December 31, 2006, the applicable LIBOR interest rate margin was .625% and the applicable commitment fee was .15%.
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 December 31, 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. One facility expires in October 2008 while the other facility expires in December 2007. At December 31, 2006, outstanding borrowings under the Auxiliary Bank Facilities totaled $7.5 million and accrued interest at a weighted average rate of 6.32%. Because we currently have the ability and intend to refinance the borrowings outstanding under the Auxiliary Bank Facility expiring in December 2007, such borrowings are classified as long-term debt in our consolidated balance sheet at December 31, 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 December 31, 2006, outstanding borrowings under the Lender Notes totaled $38.6 million and accrued interest at a weighted average rate of 5.85%. 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 December 31, 2006, outstanding borrowings under the Equipment Notes totaled $10.4 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 December 31, 2006, the remaining balance of term equipment notes totaling $2.2 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 $6.2 million and various other debt obligations totaling $1.1 million. We do not have any significant financial covenants or restrictions associated with these other debt obligations.
Subsequent to December 31, 2006, we entered into a First Amendment (the “Amendment”) to the Credit Agreement. The Amendment specifically (i) consented (a) to the incurrence of indebtedness and the maximum amount of indebtedness that can be incurred under the A&B Credit Facility (as defined below) and (b) to our guaranty of the A&B Credit Facility and (ii) waived certain provisions of the Credit Agreement that would have been applicable to the acquisition of Annan & Bird Lithographers.
Concurrently with the Amendment, we entered into an unsecured credit facility with a commercial bank (the “A&B Credit Facility”) consisting of a US$35.0 million maximum borrowing limit component and a separate Canadian $5.0 million maximum borrowing limit component. U.S. dollar denominated borrowings under the A&B Credit Facility accrue interest and bear an annual commitment fee at rates equal to those applicable to borrowings by us under the Credit Agreement. Canadian dollar denominated borrowings under the A&B Credit Facility accrue interest at our option, at either (1) the Canadian Dollar Offer Rate plus a margin of .625% to 1.25%, or (2) an alternate base rate based upon the Canadian Prime Rate. We are also required to pay an annual commitment fee ranging from .15% to .25% on available but unused Canadian dollar amounts. For both components, the interest rate margin and the commitment fee are based upon the financial performance measures set forth in the Credit Agreement and are redetermined quarterly. An annual reduction of US$4.0 million on the U.S. dollar denominated commitment occurs on each anniversary date of the A&B Credit Facility until the final maturity date of January 2, 2011. There are no significant covenants or restrictions set forth in the A&B Credit Facility; however, a default by us under the Credit Agreement constitutes a default under the A&B Credit Facility. Proceeds from borrowings under the A&B Credit Facility may be used for general corporate purposes, including the acquisition of Annan & Bird Lithographers.
To complete the acquisition of Annan & Bird Lithographers and The Hennegan Company, as well as to fund certain equipment purchases and other general corporate purposes, we borrowed US$30.9 million on the A&B Credit Facility and $36.0 million on the Credit Agreement in January 2007.
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 $62.9 million as of December 31, 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 December 31, 2006 totaling $8.1 million. In addition, we had one other letter of credit totaling $.1 million outstanding as of December 31, 2006. All of these letters of credit were issued pursuant to the terms of our Credit Agreement, which expires in October 2011, and we will be required to obtain replacement letters of credit at that time.
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 December 31, 2006 were $172.1 million, net of a $3.0 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 effect 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 December 31, 2006 include borrowings under our bank credit facilities, various term equipment notes and other debt obligations. As of December 31, 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.
