NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(In thousands, except per share data and percentages)

(Unaudited)

 

1.  BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Consolidated Graphics, Inc. and subsidiaries (collectively, the “Company”).  All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated.  Such statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and the Securities and Exchange Commission’s (“SEC”) rules and regulations for reporting interim financial information.  Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements.  In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation of the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been included.  Operating results for the six months ended September 30, 2005 are not necessarily indicative of future operating results. Balance sheet information as of March 31, 2005 has been derived from the 2005 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, 2005, filed with the SEC in June 2005.

 

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 of intangible assets other than goodwill. 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:

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 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 six months ended September 30, 2005, $4,721 which was financed using term notes (see Note 3. Long-Term Debt) and $1,744 which was accrued as a current liability in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet. For the six months ended September 30, 2005, the Company paid cash for interest and income taxes, net of refunds, totaling $2,679 and $5,117. For the six months ended September 30, 2004, the Company paid cash for interest and income taxes, net of refunds, totaling $2,900 and $1,684.

 

Stock-Based Compensation – The Company’s only element of stock-based compensation is derived pursuant to the Consolidated Graphics, Inc. Long-Term Incentive Plan (the “Plan”), which has been approved by the Company’s shareholders.  Under the Plan, employees of the Company and members of the Company’s Board of Directors have been, or may be, granted options to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock at a price not less than the market price of the stock at the date of grant. The Company accounts for its stock-based compensation programs using the intrinsic value method of accounting established by Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees and related interpretations. Accordingly, no compensation expense is recognized when the exercise price of an employee stock option is equal to the market price of common stock on the grant date and all other provisions are fixed.

 

Pro forma information regarding net income and net income per share is required by the Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation. The pro forma information has been determined as if the Company had accounted for its stock options under the fair value method. The following is a summary of the Company’s net income and earnings per share as reported and pro forma as if the fair value-based method of accounting defined in SFAS No. 123 had been applied. For purposes of pro forma disclosures, the estimated fair value of the options is amortized to expense over the options’ vesting period. The pro forma effects of applying SFAS No. 123 may not be representative of the effects on reported net income for future years since options vest over several years and additional awards are made each year.

 

Had the Company used the fair value-based method of accounting for the Plan prescribed by SFAS No. 123 and charged compensation expense against net income over the vesting period based on the fair value of options at the date of grant, net income and earnings per share as reported would have been reduced to the following pro forma amounts:

2.  ACQUISITIONS

 

During the six months ended September 30, 2005, the Company paid cash totaling $465 to acquire the operations and assets of one business, which was immediately merged into another existing operation of the Company. Additionally, the Company paid cash totaling $769 in connection with finalization of certain working capital adjustments related to the Company’s fiscal 2005 acquisitions. Based on certain additional information received regarding the fiscal 2005 acquisitions, $2,513 of purchase value previously attributed to property and equipment was allocated to goodwill and a preliminary allocation of $6,000 was made from goodwill to intangible assets other than goodwill in the six month period ended September 30, 2005.  Intangible assets other than goodwill are reflected in Other Assets in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet. 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 fiscal 2005 and 2006 acquisitions, and expects to receive such information no later than one year following the respective dates of the acquisitions.

 

On October 3, 2005, the Company announced that it had entered into a non-binding letter of intent to acquire Graphcom, Inc. in Atlanta, Georgia.  The completion of this transaction, which is subject to certain conditions, is expected to occur by December 31, 2005.

 

3.  LONG-TERM DEBT

The Company’s primary bank credit facility (as amended and restated, the “Credit Agreement”) is composed of a $150,000 revolving credit facility that will mature in July 2007. At September 30, 2005, outstanding borrowings under the Credit Agreement were $46,000 and accrued interest at a weighted average rate of 5.98%.

 

The proceeds from borrowings under the Credit Agreement can be used to repay certain indebtedness, finance certain acquisitions, provide for working capital and general corporate purposes and, subject to certain restrictions, repurchase the Company’s common stock. Borrowings outstanding under the Credit Agreement are secured by substantially all of the Company’s assets other than real estate and certain equipment subject to term equipment notes and other financings. Borrowings under the Credit Agreement accrue interest, at the Company’s option, at either (1) the London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) plus a margin of 1.25% to 2.00%, or (2) an alternate base rate (based upon the greater of the agent bank’s prime lending rate or the Federal Funds effective rate plus .50%) plus a margin of up to .75%. The Company is also required to pay an annual commitment fee ranging from .275% to .375% on available but unused amounts under the Credit Agreement. The interest rate margin and the commitment fee are based upon certain financial performance measures as set forth in the Credit Agreement and are redetermined quarterly. At September 30, 2005, the applicable LIBOR interest rate margin was 1.25% and the applicable commitment fee was .275%.

 

The Company is subject to certain covenants and restrictions and must meet certain financial tests under the Credit Agreement. The Company was in compliance with such covenants, restrictions and financial tests at September 30, 2005.

 

8



 

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 November 2005 while the other facility expires in November 2006. At September 30, 2005, borrowings outstanding under the Auxiliary Bank Facilities totaled $9,431 and accrued interest at a weighted average rate of 5.22%. Because the Company currently has the ability to refinance borrowings outstanding under the Auxiliary Bank Facility expiring in November 2005 and plans to do so, such borrowings are classified as long-term debt in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet at September 30, 2005. The Auxiliary Bank Facilities cross-default to the covenants and restrictions set forth in the Credit Agreement.

 

The Company’s term equipment notes consist primarily of notes payable pursuant to financing agreements between the Company and various lenders (the “Lender Notes”) and between the Company and the finance affiliate of a printing equipment manufacturer (the “Equipment Notes”). At September 30, 2005, outstanding borrowings under the Lender Notes totaled $20,071 and accrued interest at a weighted average rate of 5.06%. The Lender Notes provide for fixed monthly principal payments plus interest (at fixed rates) for defined periods of up to seven years from the date of issuance, and are secured by certain equipment of the Company. At September 30, 2005, outstanding borrowings under the Equipment Notes totaled $12,592 and accrued interest at a weighted average rate of 5.93%. The Equipment Notes provide for fixed payments of principal and interest (at fixed rates) for defined periods of up to ten years from the date of issuance and are secured by the equipment which was concurrently purchased from the manufacturer. At September 30, 2005, the remaining balance of term equipment notes totaling $1,532 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; however, the Credit Agreement places certain limitations on the amount of additional term note obligations the Company may incur in the future.

 

The Company’s remaining debt obligations consist of a mortgage totaling $4,889, a promissory note totaling $2,674, industrial revenue bonds totaling $7,495 and various other debt obligations totaling $1,082. The Company does not have any significant financial covenants or restrictions associated with these other debt obligations.

ITEM 2.  Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

 

The following discussion contains forward-looking information. Readers are cautioned that such information involves known and unknown risks and uncertainties, including those created by general market conditions, competition and the possibility that events may occur beyond our control, which may limit our ability to maintain or improve our operating results or financial condition or acquire additional printing businesses. Our expectations regarding future sales and profitability assume, among other things, stability in the economy and reasonable growth in the demand for our products, the continued availability of raw materials at affordable prices and retention of our key management and operating personnel. In addition, our expectations regarding future acquisitions assume, among other things, our ability to identify new acquisition opportunities and our ability to negotiate and finance such acquisitions on acceptable terms, as well as the ability to successfully absorb and manage such acquisitions. 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 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, 2005 and other reports filed by us with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Operating results for the six months ended September 30, 2005 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the entire fiscal year ending March 31, 2006 or any periods thereafter.

 

Overview

 

Our Organization

 

Our Company is a leading national provider of commercial printing services and is recognized as the largest sheetfed and half-web commercial printing company in the United States.  We currently operate 70 printing businesses in 25 states, with each business operated as a wholly-owned subsidiary. Each of our printing businesses has a well-established operating history, more than 25 years in most cases, and operates as a separate business and reporting unit, with their own management, sales, customer service, estimating and planning, prepress, production and accounting staff. 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 19,000. No individual facility nor any individual customer account for more than 10% of our revenues.

 

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 and deliver high quality printed documents, materials and products for our customers to their specification and design, including all content. The scope and extent of services provided to our customers typically varies for each individual order we receive, depending on customer-specific factors including the intended uses for the printed materials. Furthermore, each of our printing businesses generally is capable of providing the complete range of our services to their customers which include fulfillment, mailing or other print-related services. They may also use our Internet-based e-commerce solutions, marketed under the “CGX Solutions” trademark which are complementary to the production and delivery of the printed materials. 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 printed documents which are custom manufactured to our customers’ design specifications; (ii) fulfillment and mailing services for such printed materials, and (iii) e-commerce solutions that enable our customers to improve their processes over the procurement and management of

printed materials. Examples of the types of documents we print for our customers include high-quality, multicolor marketing materials, product and capability brochures, point-of-purchase displays, direct mail pieces, shareholder communications, catalogs, and training manuals.

 

The substantial majority 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 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 job 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, and various professional services.

 

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 customer base and develop new and expanded 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 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 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.

Our sales and expenses during the periods shown were impacted by the acquisition of eight printing businesses in fiscal 2005 and one printing business 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 current year period compared to the prior year period by (i) the full-period impact of prior year acquisitions (as compared to the partial period impact in the prior year) and (ii) the partial-period impact of current year acquisitions, and is referred to below as “incremental impact of acquisitions.”

 

Comparative Analysis of Consolidated Income Statements for the Three Months Ended September 30, 2005 and 2004

 

Sales for the quarter ended September 30, 2005 increased $29.9 million or 16% to $221.0 million from $191.1 million in the same period last year. After taking into account the $5.0 million sales impact in the 2004 quarter from election-related printing, our 2005 quarterly sales increase was $34.9 million, or 19%, which reflects $30.6 million incremental impact of acquisitions and $4.3 million, or 2.2%, from internal sales growth.  National sales were a significant component of our overall internal sales growth for the quarter. As a whole, national sales accounted for 7% of our revenue in the quarter ended September 30, 2005, up from 5% in the prior year.

 

For the quarter ended September 30, 2005, gross profit margin decreased slightly to 24.5% as compared to the same period last year and, coupled with our overall sales increase, resulted in a $7.0 million increase in gross profit for the quarter.

 

Selling expenses for the quarter ended September 30, 2005 increased $2.8 million or 14% from $19.7 million for the same period last year. The increase is directly attributable to the increased sales levels noted above. As a percentage of sales, selling expenses decreased slightly to 10.2% as compared to 10.3% for the same period last year.

 

12



 

General and administrative expenses for the quarter ended September 30, 2005 increased $1.4 million or 9% from $13.8 million in the same period last year, due principally to the incremental impact of acquisitions. Our continuing efforts to control costs, together with the relatively fixed nature of corporate overhead, enabled us to gain additional leverage on our sales, resulting in a slight decrease in our general and administrative expenses as a percentage of sales to 6.9% as compared to 7.2% for the same period last year.

 

Interest expense for the quarter ended September 30, 2005 remained constant at $1.4 million from the same period last year, as debt levels were generally comparable year-over-year.

 

We provided for income taxes for the quarter ended September 30, 2005 of $5.7 million, reflecting an effective tax rate of 37.9% as compared to a slightly higher effective tax rate of 38.0% for the same period last year.

 

Comparative Analysis of Consolidated Income Statements for the Six Months Ended September 30, 2005 and 2004

 

Sales for the six months ended September 30, 2005 increased $58.2 million or 16% to $430.9 million from $372.7 million in the same period last year. After taking into account the $5.0 million sales impact in the prior year from election-related printing, our 2005 year to date sales increase was $63.2 million, or 17%, which reflects $59.4 million incremental impact of acquisitions and $3.8 million, or 1%, from internal sales growth.  National sales were a significant component of our overall internal sales growth in the current year. As a whole, national sales accounted for 7% of our revenue in the six months ended September 30, 2005, up from 5% in the prior year.

 

For the six months ended September 30, 2005, gross profit margin decreased slightly to 24.6% as compared to the same period last year and, coupled with our overall sales increase, resulted in a $13.9 million increase in gross profit for the six month 2005 period.

 

Selling expenses for the six months ended September 30, 2005 increased 14% to $44.5 million from $39.2 million in the same period last year. The increase for the six month period of this fiscal year is directly attributable to the increased sales levels noted above. As a percentage of sales, selling expenses for the six months ended September 30, 2005 decreased slightly to 10.3% as compared to 10.5% for the same period last year.

 

General and administrative expenses for the six months ended September 30, 2005 increased $2.8 million or 11% to $29.5 million from $26.7 million in the same period last year, due principally to the incremental impact of acquisitions. Our continuing efforts to control costs, together with the relatively fixed nature of corporate overhead, enabled us to gain additional leverage on our sales, resulting in the decrease in our general and administrative expenses as a percentage of sales, which decreased to 6.9% for the six months ended September 30, 2005, from 7.2% for the same period last year.

 

Interest expense for the six months ended September 30, 2005 remained constant at $2.8 million from the same period last year, as debt levels were generally comparable year-over-year.

 

We provided for income taxes for the six months ended September 30, 2005 of $11.0 million, reflecting an effective tax rate of 37.9% as compared to an effective tax rate of 38.2% for the same period last year.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

Sources and Uses of Cash

 

Our historical sources of cash have primarily been cash provided by operations or borrowings under 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 on occasion 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.

During the six months ended September 30, 2005, net cash provided by operating activities increased by $1.7 million as compared to the same period last year. This increase was the result of a $4.5 million relative increase in net cash provided by operating activities excluding working capital changes, net of effects of acquisitions, offset by a relative decrease in working capital changes of $2.8 million.  As with prior periods, we have continued our strategy to further strengthen our financial position by primarily using cash flow in excess of our requirements for acquisitions and capital expenditures to make payments on outstanding debt obligations.  In addition, as discussed below, the Company paid $6.4 million to repurchase and retire 164,100 shares of its common stock in the second quarter of the current fiscal year.

 

We believe that our cash flow provided by operations will be adequate to cover our fiscal 2006 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 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. On October 3, 2005, the Company announced that it had entered into a non-binding letter of intent to acquire Graphcom, Inc. in Atlanta, Georgia.  The completion of this transaction, which is subject to certain conditions, is expected to occur by December 31, 2005.

 

We expect to fund future acquisitions, including Graphcom, through cash flow provided by operations and/or additional borrowings. We have on occasion in the past issued our common stock as purchase price consideration in our acquisitions.  Although we may issue common stock for such purposes in the future, we do not expect to do so in the near term because of our current financial liquidity and capability to utilize 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

 

14



 

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 2004, our Board of Directors approved a common stock share repurchase program, providing for the repurchase of up to one million shares of our stock, not to exceed $40.0 million in the aggregate, in open-market or block purchase transactions through March 31, 2006. 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 the Company’s liquidity and potential alternative uses of our capital resources, the price and availability of our shares, general market conditions and certain repurchase restrictions in our primary bank credit facility, which limit us to repurchases not to exceed $75.0 million in the aggregate. During the quarter ended September 30, 2005, we repurchased 164,100 shares of our common stock at a total cost of $6.4 million. There can be no assurance that we will continue to repurchase any of our common stock, and if so, whether we will be able to do so on terms acceptable to us.

 

Debt Obligations

 

Our primary bank credit facility (as amended and restated, the “Credit Agreement,”) is composed of a $150.0 million revolving credit facility that will mature in July 2007. At September 30, 2005, borrowings outstanding under the Credit Agreement were $46.0 million and accrued interest at a weighted average rate of 5.98%.

 

The proceeds from borrowings under the Credit Agreement can be used to repay certain indebtedness, finance certain acquisitions, provide for working capital and general corporate purposes and, subject to certain restrictions, repurchase our common stock. Borrowings outstanding under the Credit Agreement are secured by substantially all of our assets other than real estate and certain equipment subject to term equipment notes and other financings. Borrowings under the Credit Agreement accrue interest, at our option, at either (1) the London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR) plus a margin of 1.25% to 2.00%, or (2) an alternate base rate (based upon the greater of the agent bank’s prime lending rate or the Federal Funds effective rate plus .50%) plus a margin of up to .75%. We are also required to pay an annual commitment fee ranging from .275% to .375% on available but unused amounts under the Credit Agreement. The interest rate margin and the commitment fee are based upon certain financial performance measures as set forth in the Credit Agreement and are redetermined quarterly. At September 30, 2005, the applicable LIBOR interest rate margin was 1.25% and the applicable commitment fee was .275%.

 

We are subject to certain covenants and restrictions and we must meet certain financial tests as defined in the Credit Agreement. We were in compliance with these covenants and financial tests at September 30, 2005. 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 November 2005 while the other facility expires in November 2006. At September 30, 2005, borrowings outstanding under the Auxiliary Bank Facilities totaled

$9.4 million and accrued interest at a weighted average rate of 5.22%. Because we currently have the ability to refinance the borrowings outstanding under the Auxiliary Bank Facility expiring in November 2005 and plan to do so, such borrowings are classified as long-term debt in our consolidated balance sheet at September 30, 2005. The Auxiliary Bank Facilities cross-default to the covenants and restrictions set forth in the Credit Agreement.

 

Our term equipment notes consist primarily of notes payable pursuant to financing agreements between us and various lenders (the “Lender Notes”) and between us and the finance affiliate of a printing equipment manufacturer (the “Equipment Notes”). At September 30, 2005, outstanding borrowings under the Lender Notes totaled $20.1 million and accrued interest at a weighted average rate of 5.06%. The Lender Notes provide for fixed monthly principal payments plus interest (at fixed rates) for defined periods of up to seven years from the date of issuance, and are secured by certain equipment of the Company. At September 30, 2005, outstanding borrowings under the Equipment Notes totaled $12.6 million and accrued interest at a weighted average rate of 5.93%. 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

 

15



 

equipment which was concurrently purchased from the manufacturer. At September 30, 2005, the remaining balance of term equipment notes totaling $1.5 million primarily consist 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. The Credit Agreement places certain limitations on the amount of additional term note obligations we may incur in the future; however, we do not anticipate that these limitations will restrict our ability to make any of our remaining planned 2006 capital expenditures.

 

Our other debt obligations consist of a mortgage of $4.9 million, a promissory note totaling $2.7 million, industrial revenue bonds totaling $7.5 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.

 

Contractual Obligations and Other Commitments

 

Operating Leases — We have entered into various noncancelable operating leases primarily related to facilities and equipment used in the ordinary course of our business. Our future contractual obligations under such operating leases total approximately $58.2 million as of September 30, 2005.

 

Letters of Credit — In connection with our assumption of obligations under outstanding industrial revenue bonds related to certain prior year acquisitions of printing businesses, which are reflected as debt in the accompanying consolidated financial statements, we had four letters of credit outstanding as of September 30, 2005 for a combined total of $7.8 million.  In addition, we had two other letters of credit totaling $0.6 million outstanding as of September 30, 2005. All of these letters of credit were issued pursuant to the terms of our Credit Agreement, which expires in July 2007, and we may 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 against 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.

 

Factors Which May Affect Future Results

 

Our future operating results may be impacted by a number of factors, including general economic conditions and competitive factors in our industry, seasonal and cyclical variations in commercial printing demand, reasonable growth in the demand for our services and retention of key management and operating personnel. To the extent an economic slowdown causes businesses to reduce their spending on printed advertising and marketing materials, the demand for commercial printing services may be adversely affected. Further, compounding the adverse effect of a decline in demand, competitive pricing pressures may occur and could negatively impact the level of sales and profit margins generated by our printing businesses. Also, the magnitude and timing of any future acquisitions, as well as our ability to absorb and manage such businesses, will impact our future results. Because of these and other factors, there can be no assurance that we will not experience material fluctuations in our future operating results or cash flows on a quarterly or annual basis.

Critical Accounting Policies

 

We have identified our critical accounting policies based on the following factors — significance to our overall financial statement presentation, complexity of the policy and its use of estimates and assumptions. We are required to make certain estimates and assumptions in determining the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent liabilities and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses. We evaluate our estimates and assumptions on an ongoing basis and rely on historical experience and various other factors that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances to determine such estimates. Because uncertainties with respect to estimates and assumptions are inherent in the preparation of financial statements, actual results could differ from these estimates.

 

Receivables, net of valuation allowance – Accounts receivable at September 30, 2005 were $146.4 million, net of a $3.7 million allowance for doubtful accounts. The valuation allowance was determined based upon our evaluation of known requirements, aging of receivables, historical experience and the current economic environment. While we believe we have appropriately considered known or expected outcomes, our customers’ ability to pay their obligations could be adversely affected by contraction in the economy or other factors beyond our control. Changes in our estimates of collectibility could have a material adverse affect on our consolidated financial condition or results of operations.

 

Goodwill We evaluate the carrying value of our goodwill as of March 31st of each year, or at any time that management becomes aware of an indication of impairment. Our evaluation is based on certain data estimated by management to be indicators of future cash flows at each of our facilities. Estimating future cash flows requires judgments regarding future economic conditions, demand for services and pricing. Our evaluation also makes use of estimates of market multiples of cash flow at which transactions could be completed in the current market. If our estimates of future cash flows or market multiples prove to be materially inaccurate, an impairment charge could be necessary in future periods.

 

Impairment of long-lived assets – We evaluate long-lived assets, including property, plant and equipment and intangible assets other than goodwill whenever events or changes in conditions indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable. The evaluation requires us to estimate future undiscounted cash flows associated with an asset or group of assets. If the cost of the asset or group of assets cannot be recovered by these undiscounted cash flows, then an impairment may exist. Estimating future cash flows requires judgments regarding future economic conditions, demand for services and pricing. Although we believe our estimates are reasonable, significant differences in the actual performance of the asset or group of assets may materially affect our asset values and require an impairment charge in future periods.

 

Insurance liabilities — We are self-insured for the majority of our workers’ compensation and group health insurance costs. Insurance claims liabilities have been accrued using a combination of our historical loss experience and subjective assessment of our future loss exposure, together with advice provided by administrators and consulting actuaries. The estimates of expected loss amounts are subject to uncertainties arising from various sources, including changes in claims reporting patterns, claims settlement patterns, judicial decisions, legislation and economic conditions, which could result in an increase or decrease in accrued costs in future periods for claim matters which occurred in a prior period.

 

Accounting for income taxes – As part of the process of preparing our consolidated financial statements, we are required to estimate our income taxes. This process involves estimating our actual current tax exposure, together with assessing temporary differences resulting from differing treatment of items for tax and financial reporting purposes. The tax effects of these temporary differences are recorded as deferred tax assets or deferred tax liabilities. We must then assess the likelihood that our deferred tax assets will be recovered from future taxable income, and to the extent we believe that recovery is not likely, we must establish a valuation allowance. Significant judgment is required in determining our provision for income taxes, our deferred tax assets and liabilities and any valuation allowance recorded against our net deferred tax assets. Additionally, we establish reserves when, despite our belief that our tax return positions are fully supportable, we believe that certain positions are likely to be challenged and that we may not succeed. We adjust these reserves in light of changing facts and circumstances. Our effective tax rate includes the impact of reserve provisions and changes to reserves that we consider appropriate.

 

Accounting for acquisitions – The allocations of purchase price to acquired assets and liabilities are initially based on estimates of fair value and is prospectively revised if and when additional information we are waiting for at the time of the initial allocations concerning certain asset and liability valuations is obtained, provided that such information is received no later than one year after the date of acquisition.

ITEM 3.  Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosure About Market Risk

 

Market risk generally means the risk that losses may occur in the value of certain financial instruments as a result of movements in interest rates, foreign currency exchange rates and commodity prices. We do not currently hold or utilize derivative financial instruments that could expose our Company to market risk. However, we are exposed to market risk for changes in interest rates related primarily to our debt obligations, which as of September 30, 2005 include borrowings under our bank credit facilities, various term equipment notes and other debt obligations. As of September 30, 2005, 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, 2005.

 

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.
