(Unaudited)
1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Consolidated Graphics, Inc. and subsidiaries (collectively with its consolidated subsidiaries referred to as the “Company”). All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated. Such statements have been prepared in accordance with United States 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 condensed consolidated financial statements have been included. Operating results for the three months ended June 30, 2010 are not necessarily indicative of future operating results. Balance sheet information as of March 31, 2010 has been derived from the Company’s most recent annual audited consolidated financial statements. 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, 2010 filed with the SEC on May 21, 2010 (“2010 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 data have been made to conform to current period reporting.
Cash and Cash Equivalents—The Company considers all highly liquid investments purchased with original maturities of three months or less to be cash equivalents. Pursuant to the Company’s cash management system, the Company deposits cash into its bank accounts as checks written by the Company are presented to the bank for payment. Checks issued by the Company but not presented to the banks for payment are included in accounts payable and totaled $45,966 as of June 30, 2010 and $40,342 as of March 31, 2010.
Revenue Recognition and Accounts Receivable—The Company primarily recognizes revenue upon delivery of the printed product to the customer. In the case of customer fulfillment arrangements, including multiple deliverables of printing services and distribution services, revenue relating to the printed product is recognized upon the delivery of the printed product into the Company’s fulfillment warehouses, and invoicing of the customer for the product at an agreed price. Revenue from distribution services is recognized when the services are provided. Because printed products manufactured for the Company’s customers are customized based upon the customers specifications, product returns are not significant. The Company derives the majority of its revenues from sales and services to a broad and diverse group of customers with no individual customer accounting for more than 6% of the Company’s revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2010. The Company maintains an allowance for doubtful accounts based upon its evaluation of aging of receivables, historical experience and the current economic environment. Accounts receivable in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets are reflected net of allowance for doubtful accounts of $4,478 and $4,348 at June 30, 2010 and March 31, 2010, respectively.

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, dilutive stock options and restricted stock unit awards outstanding using the treasury stock method. Earnings per share are set forth below:

Basic
  $ 0.60     $ (0.03 )
Diluted
  $ 0.59     $ (0.03 )
Diluted earnings (loss) per share takes into consideration the dilution of certain unvested restricted stock unit awards and unexercised stock options. For the three months ended June 30, 2010, options to purchase 899,605 shares of common stock were outstanding but not included in the computation of diluted earnings per share, because the option exercise price exceeded the average quarterly traded price of the Company’s common stock such that their inclusion would have an anti-dilutive effect. For the three months ended June 30, 2009, options to purchase 1,879,007 shares of common stock were outstanding but not included in the computation of diluted earnings (loss) per share, because of the net loss during the three months ended June 30, 2009. Their inclusion would have had an anti-dilutive effect. Of the 1,879,007 options to purchase shares, 1,224,424 shares had an option exercise price that exceeded the average quarterly traded price of the Company’s common stock.
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. Raw materials consist of paper, ink, proofing materials, plates, boxes and other general supplies. Inventory values include the cost of purchased raw materials, labor and overhead costs. The carrying values of inventories are set forth below:
                 
    June 30,     March 31,  
    2010     2010

  $ 23,090     $ 20,932  
Work in progress

Finished goods
    5,451       5,593  
 
           
 
  $ 53,922     $ 48,879  
 
           
Goodwill and Long-Lived Assets—Goodwill totaled $24,936 at June 30, 2010 and represents the excess of the Company’s purchase cost over the fair value of the net identifiable assets acquired, net of previously recorded amortization and impairment charges. The Company assesses the impairment of goodwill by estimating the fair value for each reporting unit using trailing twelve months earnings before interest, income taxes and depreciation and amortization (“EBITDA”) multiplied by management’s estimate of an appropriate enterprise value-to-EBITDA multiple for each reporting unit, adjusted for a control premium. Management’s total Company enterprise value-to-EBITDA multiple is based upon the multiple derived from using the market capitalization of the Company’s common stock on or around the applicable balance sheet date, after considering an appropriate control premium (25% at March 31, 2010, based upon historical transactions in the printing industry). This total Company enterprise value-to-EBITDA multiple is then used as a starting point in determining the appropriate multiple for each reporting unit. Each of the Company’s printing businesses is separately evaluated for goodwill impairment because they comprise individual reporting units. The Company evaluates goodwill for impairment at the end of each fiscal year, or at any time that management becomes aware of an indication of impairment.

Under the applicable accounting standards, the goodwill impairment analysis is a two-step test. The first step, used to identify potential impairment, involves comparing each reporting unit’s estimated fair value to its carrying value including goodwill. If the fair value of a reporting unit exceeds its carrying value, applicable goodwill is considered not to be impaired. If the carrying value exceeds fair value, there is an indication of impairment and the second step is performed to measure the amount of impairment. The second step involves calculating an implied fair value of goodwill for each reporting unit for which the first step indicated potential impairment. The implied fair value of goodwill is determined in the same manner as the amount of goodwill recognized in a business combination, which is the excess of the fair value of the reporting unit, as determined in the first step, over the aggregate fair values of the individual assets, liabilities and identifiable intangible assets as if the reporting unit was being acquired in a business combination. If the implied fair value of goodwill in the “proforma” business combination accounting described above exceeds the goodwill assigned to the reporting unit, there is no impairment. If the goodwill assigned to a reporting unit exceeds the implied fair value of the goodwill, an impairment charge is recorded for the excess. A recognized impairment loss cannot exceed the amount of goodwill assigned to a reporting unit, and the loss establishes a new basis in the goodwill. Subsequent reversal of goodwill impairment losses is not permitted.
The Company compares the carrying value of long-lived assets, including property, plant and equipment, and intangible assets other than goodwill or intangible assets with indefinite lives to projections of future undiscounted cash flows attributable to such assets. In the event that the carrying value of any long-lived asset exceeds the projection of future undiscounted cash flows attributable to such asset, the Company records an impairment charge against income equal to the excess, if any, of the carrying value over the asset’s fair value.
The net book value of other intangible assets at June 30, 2010 was $21,562. Other intangible assets consist primarily of the value assigned to such items as customer lists and trade names in connection with the allocation of purchase price for acquisitions and are generally amortized on a straight-line basis over periods of between 5 and 25 years. Such assets are evaluated for recoverability with other long-lived assets as discussed above. Amortization expense totaled $891 and $863 for the three months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively.
Supplemental Cash Flow Information—The condensed consolidated statements of cash flows provide information about the Company’s sources and uses of cash and exclude the effects of non-cash transactions. Total capital expenditures, which were all cash transactions, were $10,718 and $4,476 for the three months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively. For the three months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, the Company paid cash for interest totaling $2,104 and $2,601, respectively. For the three months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, the Company paid cash for income taxes, net of refunds, totaling $9,769 and $166, respectively.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments—The Company’s financial instruments consist of cash, trade receivables, trade payables and debt obligations. The Company does not currently hold or issue derivative financial instruments. The Company believes that the recorded values of its variable rate debt obligations, which totaled $114,280 at June 30, 2010 and $116,787 at March 31, 2010, respectively, approximated their fair values. The Company believes that the recorded values of its fixed rate debt obligations which totaled $59,706 at June 30, 2010 and $64,769 at March 31, 2010, respectively, approximated their fair values. Estimates of fair value are based on estimated interest rates for the same or similar debt offered to the Company having the same or similar maturities and collateral requirements.
Foreign Currency—Assets and liabilities of subsidiaries operating outside the United States with a functional currency other than the U.S. dollar are translated at the period-end exchange rates. Income and expense items are translated at the average monthly exchange rates. The effects of period-end translation are included as a component of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income in the condensed consolidated statement of shareholders’ equity. The net foreign currency transaction (gain) loss related to the revaluation of certain transactions denominated in currencies other than the reporting unit’s functional currency totaled $19 and ($54) for the three months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively, and is recorded in Other (Income) Expense on the condensed consolidated income statements.
Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income—Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income is comprised of foreign currency translation adjustments.
Geographic Information—Revenues of the Company’s subsidiaries operating outside the United States were $12,676 and $9,752 for the three months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively. Long-lived assets of the Company’s subsidiaries operating outside the United States were $33,923 as of June 30, 2010 and $35,822 as of March 31, 2010.

2. ACQUISITIONS
Revenues and expenses of the acquired businesses have been included in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements beginning on their respective dates of acquisition. The allocation of purchase price to the acquired assets and liabilities is based on estimates of fair value and may be revised if and when additional information the Company is awaiting concerning certain asset and liability valuations is obtained, provided that such information is received no later than one year after the date of acquisition. During the three months ended June 30, 2010, the Company paid cash totaling $3,290 and assumed liabilities totaling $6,821 to acquire the assets of a printing business.

The Company’s primary bank credit facility (as amended, the “Credit Agreement”) currently provides for $300,000 in revolving credit and has a maturity date of October 6, 2011. At June 30, 2010, outstanding borrowings under the Credit Agreement were $88,000 and accrued interest at a weighted average rate of 2.6%.
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 LIBOR plus a margin of 1.625% to 3.0%, or an alternate base rate (based upon the greater of the agent bank’s prime lending rate or the Federal Funds effective rate plus 0.5%) plus a margin of 0.125% to 1.5%. The Company is also required to pay an annual commitment fee ranging from 0.25% to 0.5% on available but unused amounts under the Credit Agreement. The interest rate margin and the commitment fee are based upon certain financial performance measures set forth in the Credit Agreement and are redetermined quarterly. At June 30, 2010, the applicable LIBOR interest rate margin was 2.0% and the applicable commitment fee was 0.25%.
The Company is subject to certain covenants and restrictions, including limitations on additional indebtedness it may incur in the future, and must meet certain financial tests under the Credit Agreement. The Company was in compliance with such covenants, restrictions and financial tests at June 30, 2010. In the event the Company is unable to remain in compliance with the Credit Agreement covenants and financial tests contained in the Credit Agreement in the future, the Company’s lenders would have the right to declare it in default with respect to such obligations, and consequently, certain of our other debt obligations, including substantially all our term equipment notes, would be deemed to also be in default. All debt obligations in default would be required to be reclassified as a current liability. In the event the Company was unable to obtain a waiver from its lenders or renegotiate or refinance these obligations, a material adverse effect on the ability of the Company to conduct its operations in the ordinary course would likely result.
The Company also maintains an unsecured credit facility with a commercial bank (the “A&B Credit Facility”) currently consisting of a U.S. $5,000 maximum borrowing limit component and a separate Canadian dollar (“C$”) C$23,000 maximum borrowing limit component. At June 30, 2010, outstanding borrowings were $2,000 which accrued interest at a weighted average rate of 2.6%, and C$12,000 ($11,446 U.S. equivalent), which accrued interest at a weighted average rate of 3.0%. 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 constitutes a default under the A&B Credit Facility.

In addition, 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 2011 while the other facility expires in December 2010. At June 30, 2010, outstanding borrowings under the Auxiliary Bank Facilities totaled $9,234 and accrued interest at a weighted average rate of 2.9%. Because the Company currently has the ability and intent to refinance borrowings outstanding under the Auxiliary Bank Facilities expiring in December 2010, such borrowings are classified as long-term debt in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet at June 30, 2010. The Auxiliary Bank Facilities cross-default to the events of default set forth in the Credit Agreement.
At June 30, 2010, outstanding borrowings under term equipment notes totaled $57,687 and carried interest rates between 3.9% and 7.1%. The term equipment notes provide for principal payments plus interest for defined periods of up to ten years from the date of issuance, and are secured by certain equipment of the Company. The Company is not subject to any significant financial covenants in connection with any of the term equipment notes. Most of the term equipment notes cross-default to the events of default set forth in the Credit Agreement.
At June 30, 2010, other debt obligations totaled $5,619 and provided for principal payments plus interest (fixed and variable rates) for defined periods up to 16 years from the date of issuance. The Company does not have any significant financial covenants or restrictions associated with the other debt obligations.
As of June 30, 2010, the Company’s available credit under existing credit facilities was $218,471.

ITEM 2.  
Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
The following management’s discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and notes to unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and our audited financial statements and notes thereto included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K as of and for the year ended March 31, 2010. This discussion contains forward-looking statements that reflect our current views with respect to future events and financial performance. Our actual results may differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements as a result of certain factors such as those referenced in the section entitled “Forward-Looking Statements” below.
Overview
Our Organization
Consolidated Graphics is a leading U.S. and Canadian provider of commercial printing and print-related services with 70 printing businesses in 27 U.S. states, Toronto, and Prague. In connection with our traditional print services, we also provide our customers with fulfillment and mailing services, digital technology solutions and e-commerce capabilities. Generally, each facility substantially relies on locally-based customers; accordingly, we have over 20,000 individual customers with a broad diversification by industry-type and geographic orientation. No individual facility accounts for more than 11% of our total revenues. No individual customer accounts for more than 6% of our total 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, internal financial controls design and management information systems. We also maintain centralized treasury, risk management, legal, tax, internal audit 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 where 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 software solutions and other print-related, value-added services. The technology solutions, 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.” Accordingly, for financial reporting purposes, we report our revenues and results of operations as a single segment.
Our sales are derived from providing commercial printing and print-related services. These services consist of (i) traditional print services, including electronic prepress, digital and offset printing, finishing, storage and delivery of high-quality printed documents which are custom manufactured to our customers’ design specifications; (ii) fulfillment and mailing services for such printed materials; and (iii) technology solutions 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; and (iv) cross media capabilities allowing our customers to supplement the message of their printed materials through other media, such as the internet, email, or text messages. 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, trading cards, photo products such as calendars and photo books, catalogs and training manuals.
Most of our sales are generated by individual orders through commissioned sales personnel. We predominantly 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 products and 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 revenues, however, tend to be strongest in the quarter ended December followed by revenue in the quarter ended March. Conversely, revenues tend to be seasonally weaker in the quarters ended June and September. Sales from election-related print business tend to be higher in every other year in which national elections are held.
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, utilities, 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, including share-based compensation, as well as office rent, communication expenses, various professional services, depreciation charges 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 large, 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 continually seek to hire additional sales professionals, invest in new equipment and technology, expand our national accounts program, develop new and expanded digital technology-based print-related services and provide sales training and education about our breadth of capabilities and services to our sales professionals.
   
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 integration into one of our existing businesses.
   
Cost Savings—Because of our size and extensive geographic footprint, we leverage our economies of scale to purchase 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 talent for future sales and management positions at our printing businesses.

Comparative Analysis of Consolidated Income Statements for the Three Months Ended June 30, 2010 and 2009
Sales during the three month period ended June 30, 2010 increased $10.8 million, or 5% to $236.7 million from $225.9 million for the same period in the prior year. The increase in sales was primarily due to a year–over–year increase in same-store sales, higher election-related print business, and the effect of an acquisition.
Gross profit during the three months ended June 30, 2010 increased $9.6 million or 5%, to $54.4 million compared to $44.8 million for the same period in the prior year. The increase in gross profit was due to the 5% increase in sales and the increase in the gross profit margin. Gross profit margin (gross profit divided by revenues) increased from 19.8% in the June 2009 quarter to 23.0% in the June 2010 quarter primarily as a result of higher sales combined with lower labor costs, higher scrap paper recycling income, and fixed costs, such as depreciation, not increasing with sales.
Selling expense during the three months ended June 30, 2010 increased $0.5 million, or 2%, to $23.3 million from $22.8 million for the same period in the prior year. The increase was primarily due to the cost of a national sales and marketing event held in the quarter ended June 30, 2010, partially offset by lower compensation expenses. As a percentage of sales, selling expenses declined slightly to 9.8% in the current quarter as compared to 10.1% for the same period in the prior year primarily due to the lower compensation expenses.
General and administrative expenses during the three months ended June 30, 2010 increased $1.3 million, or 6%, to $22.4 million from $21.1 million for the same period in the prior year. This increase primarily resulted from increased investments in staff within our information technology group, higher bad debt expense, and legal fees related to the settlement of previously reported litigation. As a percentage of sales, general and administrative expenses increased to 9.5% in the current quarter compared to 9.3% for the same period in the prior year.
Litigation and other charges during the three months ended June 30, 2010 includes a $5.2 million positive adjustment resulting from the settlement of litigation for an amount lower than previously recognized, partially offset by a $1.0 million charge for the cost of withdrawing from a multi-employer pension plan. The litigation settled was an isolated dispute between the Company and the former employer of an existing sales employee.
Other (income) expense consists of foreign currency transaction losses and gains resulting from certain transactions of our Canadian and Czech Republic subsidiaries.
Net interest expense declined from $2.5 million in last year’s June quarter to $2.0 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2010 due to a lower level of average debt outstanding.
For the three months ended June 30, 2010, the Company’s effective tax rate was 37% as compared to an effective tax rate of 80% for the same period in the prior year. The prior year rate was significantly impacted by a larger percentage impact on the effective tax rate caused by permanent differences, due to a net loss in the quarter, as well as the release of a valuation allowance due to tax planning. The rate for the current quarter was primarily impacted by an increased benefit from the domestic production activity deduction and a lower state income tax rate.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Sources and Uses of Cash
Our historical sources of cash have primarily been provided by operations and 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, repurchases of our common stock and for working capital requirements. Various components of our statement of cash flows are as follows:
                 
    Three Months Ended

Total debt
    174.0       181.6  
Net cash provided by operating activities declined $14.5 million over the same period in the prior year due to the change in working capital (primarily related to changes in accounts receivable, inventories, accounts payable and accrued liabilities and income taxes payable). We invested $10.7 million and $4.5 million in new equipment and technology during the three months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively. We believe that our cash flow provided by operations, combined with new borrowings, will be adequate to cover remaining fiscal year 2011 working capital needs, debt service requirements, planned capital expenditures (estimated to be $45.0 million to $50.0 million) and acquisitions of printing businesses.
We intend to continue pursuing acquisition opportunities at prices we believe are reasonable based upon prevailing market conditions. However, we cannot accurately predict the timing, size and 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. We expect to fund future acquisitions through cash flow provided by operations or additional borrowings under our primary bank credit facility.
Debt Obligations
Our primary bank credit facility (as amended, the “Credit Agreement”) currently provides for $300 million in revolving credit and has a maturity date of October 6, 2011. At June 30, 2010, outstanding borrowings under the Credit Agreement were $88.0 million and accrued interest at a weighted average rate of 2.6%.
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 LIBOR plus a margin of 1.625% to 3.0%, or an alternate base rate (based upon the greater of the agent bank’s prime lending rate or the Federal Funds effective rate plus 0.5%) plus a margin of 0.125% to 1.5%. We are also required to pay an annual commitment fee ranging from 0.25% to 0.5% on available but unused amounts under the Credit Agreement. The interest rate margin and the commitment fee are based upon certain financial performance measures set forth in the Credit Agreement and are redetermined quarterly. At June 30, 2010 the applicable LIBOR interest rate margin was 2.0% and the applicable commitment fee was 0.25%.
We are subject to certain covenants and restrictions, including limitations on additional indebtedness we may incur in the future, and we must meet certain financial tests as defined in the Credit Agreement. We were in compliance with these covenants and financial tests at June 30, 2010. In the event that we are unable to remain in compliance with the Credit Agreement’s 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 reclassified as a current liability. In the event that we were unable to obtain a waiver from our lenders or renegotiate or refinance these obligations, a material adverse effect on our ability to conduct our operations in the ordinary course likely would result.
We also maintain an unsecured credit facility with a commercial bank (the “A&B Credit Facility”) currently consisting of a U.S. $5.0 million maximum borrowing limit component and a separate Canadian dollar (“C$”) C$23.0 million maximum borrowing limit component. At June 30, 2010, outstanding borrowings under such facility were $2.0 million, which accrued interest at a weighted average rate of 2.6%, and C$12.0 million ($11.5 million U.S. equivalent), which accrued interest at a weighted average rate of 3.0%. 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.
In addition, 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 2011 while the other facility expires in December 2010. At June 30, 2010, outstanding borrowings under the Auxiliary Bank Facilities totaled $9.2 million and accrued interest at a weighted average rate of 2.9%. Because we currently have the ability and intent to refinance the borrowings outstanding under the Auxiliary Bank Facilities expiring in December 2010, such borrowings are classified as long-term debt in our consolidated balance sheet at June 30, 2010. The Auxiliary Bank Facilities cross-default to the events of default set forth in the Credit Agreement.

Table of Contents

At June 30, 2010, outstanding borrowings under our term equipment notes totaled $57.7 million and accrued interest at rates between 3.9% and 7.1%. The term equipment notes provide for principal payments plus interest for defined periods of up to ten years from the date of issuance, and are secured by certain equipment of the Company. We are not subject to any significant financial covenants in connection with any of the term equipment notes. Most of the term equipment notes cross-default to the events of default set forth in the Credit Agreement.
At June 30, 2010, other debt obligations totaled $5.6 million and provided for principal payments plus interest (at fixed and variable rates) for defined periods up to 16 years from the date of issuance. We do not have any significant financial covenants or restrictions associated with the other debt obligations.
As of June 30, 2010, our available credit under existing credit facilities was $218.5 million.
Commitment and Contingencies
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 $90.3 million as of June 30, 2010.
Letters of credit — We had letters of credit outstanding as of June 30, 2010 totaling $7.8 million. All of these letters of credit were issued pursuant to the terms of our Credit Agreement, which expires October 6, 2011.
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 the future costs of incurred losses, 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 loss estimates are reasonable, significant differences related to the items noted above could materially affect our risk exposure, insurance coverage, 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.
Revenue recognition — We primarily recognize revenue upon delivery of the printed product to the customer. In the case of customer fulfillment arrangements, including multiple deliverables of printing services and distribution services, revenue relating to the printed product is recognized upon the delivery of the printed product into our fulfillment warehouses, and invoicing of the customer for the product at an agreed price. Revenue from distribution services is recognized when the services are provided. Because printed products manufactured for our customers are customized based upon the customer’s specifications, product returns are insignificant. Revenue is recognized net of sales taxes.
Receivables, net of valuation allowance — Accounts receivable at June 30, 2010 were $165.1 million, net of a $4.5 million allowance for doubtful accounts. The valuation allowance was determined based upon our evaluation of 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 the continuing contraction in the U.S. economy or other factors beyond our control. Changes in our estimates of collectability could have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial condition or results of operations.

Impairment of goodwill — We evaluate the carrying value of our goodwill as of each fiscal year end, or at any time that management becomes aware of an indication of potential impairment. Under the applicable accounting standards, the goodwill impairment analysis is a two-step test. In the first step, we determine fair value for each reporting unit using trailing twelve months earnings before interest, income taxes and depreciation and amortization (“EBITDA”), multiplied by management’s estimate of an appropriate enterprise value-to-EBITDA multiple for each reporting unit, adjusted for a control premium. Management’s total Company enterprise value-to-EBITDA multiple is based upon the multiple derived from using the market capitalization of the Company’s common stock on or around the applicable balance sheet date, after considering an appropriate control premium (25% at March 31, 2010, based upon historical transactions in the printing industry). This total Company enterprise value-to-EBITDA multiple is then used as a starting point in determining the appropriate multiple for each reporting unit. If the carrying value of the reporting unit exceeds the estimated fair value of the reporting unit, we must perform a second step to measure the amount of impairment. This second step involves estimating the fair value of identifiable tangible and intangible assets and determining an implied value of goodwill. To the extent the implied value of goodwill is less than the carrying value of goodwill for a particular reporting unit, we are required to record an impairment charge. The process of determining the fair values of assets and liabilities can involve a considerable degree of estimation.
Impairment of long-lived assets — We evaluate long-lived assets, including property, plant and equipment, and intangible assets other than goodwill or intangible assets with indefinite lives 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 the need for an impairment exists. 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 the future costs of incurred losses, 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 claims 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, to account for uncertain tax positions we use 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. Although we believe our estimates are reasonable, the final outcome of uncertain tax positions may be different from that which is reflected in the financial statements.
Accounting for acquisitions — The allocations of purchase price to acquired assets and liabilities are initially based on estimates of fair value and are revised if and when additional information concerning certain asset and liability valuations we are waiting for at the time of the initial allocations is obtained, provided that such information is received no later than one year after the date of acquisition. In addition, when appropriate 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.

Forward-Looking Statements
This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, in which the Company discusses factors it believes may affect its performance or results in the future. Forward-looking statements are all statements other than historical facts, such as statements regarding assumptions, expectations, beliefs and projections about future events or conditions. You can generally identify forward-looking statements by the appearance in such a statement of words like “anticipate,” “believe,” “continue,” “could,” “estimate,” “expect,” “intend,” “may,” “might,” “plan,” “potential,” “predict,” “forecast,” “project,” “should” or “will” or other comparable words or the negative of such words. The accuracy of the Company’s assumptions, expectations, beliefs and projections depends on events or conditions that change over time and are thus susceptible to change based on actual experience, new developments and known and unknown risks, including those created by general market conditions, competition and the possibility that events may occur beyond the Company’s control, which may limit its ability to maintain or improve its operating results or financial condition or acquire additional printing businesses. The Company gives no assurance that the forward-looking statements will prove to be correct and does not undertake any duty to update them. The Company’s actual future results might differ from the forward-looking statements made in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for a variety of reasons, which include, continuing weakness in the economy, financial stability of its customers, the sustained growth of its digital printing business, seasonality of election-related business, its ability to adequately manage business expenses, including labor costs, the unfavorable outcome of legal proceedings, the lack of or adequacy of insurance coverage for its operations, the continued availability of raw materials at affordable prices, retention of its key management and operating personnel, satisfactory labor relations, the potential for additional goodwill impairment charges, its ability to identify new acquisition opportunities, negotiate and finance such acquisitions on acceptable terms and successfully absorb and manage such acquisitions in a timely and efficient manner, as well as other risks described under the heading “Risk Factors” of our Annual Report on 10-K and the risk factors and cautionary statements described in the other documents the Company files or furnishes from time to time with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including its Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q and Current Reports on Form 8-K. Should one or more of the foregoing risks or uncertainties materialize, or should the Company’s underlying assumptions, expectations, beliefs or projections prove incorrect, the Company’s actual results may vary materially from those anticipated in its forward-looking statements, and its business, financial condition and results of operations could be materially and adversely affected.
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 to manage market risk or that could expose us to other market risk. We are exposed to market risk in interest rates related primarily to our debt obligations, which as of June 30, 2010 include borrowings under our bank credit facilities, various term equipment notes and other debt obligations. As of June 30, 2010, 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, 2010.
ITEM 4.  
Controls and Procedures
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
The Company’s management, with the participation of the Company’s Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) and Chief Financial and Accounting 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, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our CEO and CFO, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures.
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
There have not been any changes in our 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, our internal control over financial reporting.

ITEM 1.  
Legal Proceedings
As previously reported, on May 4, 2007, Rudamac, Inc. (“Plaintiff”) filed suit in Superior Court for the State of California, Los Angeles County (the “Lawsuit”), against Consolidated Graphics, Inc. (the “Company”), Thousand Oaks Printing & Specialties, Inc., a California subsidiary of the Company (“Thousand Oaks”), and an employee of Thousand Oaks (“Employee”, and together with the Company and Thousand Oaks, the “Defendants”). The Lawsuit was tried to a jury which returned a verdict in Plaintiff’s favor. The Court subsequently entered a judgment against the Defendants on the jury verdicts for $5.7 million in compensatory damages jointly and severally against the Defendants, punitive damages against Thousand Oaks for $1.5 million and against the Company for $6.7 million and awarded $.7 million in costs against the Defendants (the “Judgment”). The Court also awarded the Plaintiff $3.0 million in attorneys’ fees (the “Attorney Fee Award”). The Defendants appealed the Judgment and the Attorney Fee Award. Subsequent to the June 30, 2010 quarter end, on July 23, 2010, the Plaintiffs and Defendants entered into a Settlement Agreement and Mutual Release (the “Agreement”) to settle the Lawsuit and dismiss the Appeal. In connection with such settlement, the Defendants paid Plaintiff $14.0 million in full satisfaction of the Judgment and the Attorney Fee Award. The Agreement contains an express denial of liability by the parties and a mutual release of claims.
The Company recorded a $5.2 million positive adjustment to income for the June 30, 2010 quarter as a result of the Company settling for a lower amount than had been previously recognized. From time to time, our Company is involved in other litigation relating to claims arising out of its operations in the normal course of business. We maintain insurance coverage against certain types of potential claims in an amount which we believe to be adequate, but there is no assurance that such coverage will in fact cover, or be sufficient to cover, all potential claims. Currently, we are not aware of any other legal proceedings or claims pending against the Company that our management believes will have a material adverse effect on our financial condition or results of operations.
