PART I
Item 1.  
Business
In this annual report, the words “Consolidated Graphics,” “CGX,” the “Company,” “we,” “our” and “us” refer to Consolidated Graphics, Inc, collectively with our consolidated subsidiaries, unless the context indicates otherwise. Our fiscal year ends on March 31st.
Company Overview
Consolidated Graphics, headquartered in Houston, Texas, is a leading North American general commercial printing company, with 68 printing businesses strategically located across 27 states plus one Canadian province. Each of our printing businesses has a well-established operating history, more than 25 years in most cases. Complementing the printing services we provide, we also offer (i) state-of-the-art fulfillment services from 12 fulfillment centers located at or near one of our printing businesses and (ii) proprietary digital technology solutions and e-commerce capabilities from two technology hubs located at our corporate headquarters and at one of our printing businesses in the Baltimore/Washington D.C. area.
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) digital technology solutions and e-commerce capabilities that enable our customers to more efficiently procure and manage printed materials and/or design, procure, distribute, track and analyze results of printing-based marketing programs and activities. Examples of the types of documents we print for our customers include high-quality, multi-color marketing materials, product and capability brochures, point-of-purchase displays, direct mail pieces, shareholder communications, catalogs and training manuals.
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 its customers. Accordingly, we do not operate our business in a manner that differentiates among our respective capabilities and services for financial or management reporting purposes, rather each of our printing businesses define a distinct reporting unit.
The Company was incorporated in Texas in 1985. Our website address is www.cgx.com. We make available free of charge on or through our website our Annual Reports on Form 10-K, Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q, Current Reports on Form 8-K, and amendments to those reports filed or furnished pursuant to Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (“Exchange Act”) and other filings as soon as reasonably practicable after we electronically file such reports with or furnish such reports to the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). In addition, the current forms of our Corporate Governance Guidelines, Corporate Code of Ethics, and the charters of the respective committees of our Board of Directors, and contact information for our Presiding Director for purposes of shareholder communications, are all available on our website. The public may read and copy any materials filed by us with the SEC at the SEC’s public reference room at 450 Fifth Street, NW, Washington D.C., 20549. The public may obtain information about the operation of the SEC’s public reference rooms by calling the SEC at 1-800-SEC-0330. The SEC also maintains a website at www.sec.gov that contains reports, proxy and information statements and other information about issuers like us that file electronically with the SEC.
Industry Background
The printing industry is one of the largest industries in North America and is comprised of many segments, including general commercial printing, newspapers, directories, book and magazine publishing, financial printing, business forms, greeting cards and stationery-type products. We operate in the general commercial printing segment of the industry which generates in North America over $89 billion in annual sales based on available industry data. Most of the general commercial printing businesses operating in North America today are privately-owned and individually generate less than $35 million in annual sales.
A consolidation trend in the general commercial printing industry emerged in the 1990’s as owners of medium-sized printing businesses (those with annual sales of $2 million to $35 million) sought to evaluate exit strategies and address new industry challenges. In order to limit personal financial risk, increase personal financial liquidity, facilitate retirement goals or obtain access to additional resources that would support the continued growth of their businesses, owners of these printing businesses became more willing to sell their companies to larger, better-capitalized companies. We have been an industry-leader in the consolidation trend since our initial public offering in 1994. We believe that there are very few companies that currently possess the comparable objectives, financial strength and management expertise necessary to acquire such printing businesses.

Primary industry challenges faced by printing business owners include the need to make on-going investments in new technology and equipment and downturns in the economy. For example, most printing design and prepress activities are now accomplished in a digital environment. Prepress computer equipment based on a complete digital workflow, along with more sophisticated printing presses and finishing equipment, are more efficient, operate faster and require less labor than the equipment they typically replace. General commercial printing businesses must make substantial capital investments over time in new equipment and technology in order to remain competitive in the industry but they may not have the financial resources to do so.
Because of the development and on-going advancement in digital technology, print buyers have increasingly sought shorter print runs, the ability to personalize more sophisticated marketing materials to strategically target certain markets or demographics, and e-commerce solutions for executing and controlling the print procurement and printed materials management processes. This factor has also contributed substantially to the burden on companies in our industry to invest in new technology and equipment to remain competitive. Additionally, large corporations have increasingly sought to achieve a reduction in operating costs by streamlining their print-related processes and limiting their number of suppliers. To accomplish these objectives, these large customers frequently seek to align themselves with printing companies that have a significant national presence and offer a wide range of commercial print capabilities and services, putting additional pressure on single-location, privately-held printing companies.
In general, changes in prevailing economic conditions significantly impact the general commercial printing industry. To the extent weakness in the economy causes local and national corporations to reduce their spending on advertising and marketing materials, the demand for commercial printing services may be adversely affected. Further, compounding a potential decline in demand, competitive pricing pressures may occur and negatively impact the level of sales and profit margins throughout the industry. Beginning around 2000, industry conditions experienced a significant downturn due in part to overcapacity caused by a high rate of investment by the overall industry in new technology and equipment, which was subsequently followed by a broad deterioration in the economy. This downturn continued through 2003 and many printing businesses failed. The combination of these failures, and a subsequent strengthening in the economy, have resulted in generally stable industry conditions in recent years.
Competition
The general commercial printing industry in North America is highly fragmented and most customers procure print services from local sources. Therefore, we compete primarily with locally-based printing companies for most print projects. Most of our competitors are privately-held, single location operations; however, some competitors are large corporations, both publicly and privately owned.
The major competitive factors in our business are:
   
Extent and quality of customer service, including ability to meet customer deadlines
 
   
Quality of finished materials
 
   
Cost structure
 
   
Financial strength
The ability to provide high-quality customer service is often dependent on production and distribution capabilities, along with the availability of equipment that is appropriate in size and function for a given project. We believe that our broad range of printing capabilities and services and our ability to use our broad geographic footprint to serve customers on local, regional and national levels, give us a competitive advantage over smaller, local printing companies. Furthermore, the economic advantages created by our purchasing power, advanced technological capabilities and ability to utilize available production capacity throughout our organization, enable our printing businesses to compete more effectively and provide faster turnaround times than our competitors. Our strong financial position enables us to invest in newer, more efficient technology and equipment and to make strategic acquisitions, which expands our industry-leading position in terms of locations, capabilities, and services.
Business Strategy
Our overall business strategy is to be the market leader in the commercial printing industry by combining the customer service and responsiveness of well-managed, local printing businesses with the competitive advantages provided by a large, national organization. Management at each of our printing businesses maintains responsibility for the day-to-day operations and profitability of their business, while continuing to strengthen and build new customer relationships in their respective markets. At the same time, our printing businesses are supported by the management expertise, purchasing power, technology investments, national sales and marketing and other operating advantages that exist because they are part of a large national organization.

Internal Sales Growth—Our printing businesses have numerous opportunities, individually and collectively, to achieve consistent, long-term sales growth at a rate that exceeds industry averages. Our current initiatives to drive internal sales growth include:
   
Aggressively pursuing new business opportunities and experienced sales professionals to gain market share and strengthen our competitive position going forward.
 
   
Continuing to invest in new equipment and technology that enables us to provide increasingly higher levels of service and a broader range of capabilities.
 
   
Capitalizing on our national presence and wide range of capabilities to pursue sole or preferred-source opportunities with national accounts.
 
   
Providing information and training to our sales professionals (593 currently) to ensure they are knowledgeable about the complete range of services and capabilities we offer.
Disciplined Acquisition Program—We are actively seeking to grow our leading geographic footprint through additional acquisitions of medium and large-sized general commercial printing businesses, typically ones that are well-managed, profitable and have a generally excellent reputation and quality customer base. We may also acquire smaller and/or distressed printing businesses whose operations can be merged into one of our existing locations. This type of transaction is commonly referred to as a “tuck-in” acquisition.
Cost Savings—Because of our size and national presence, we leverage our economies of scale to obtain preferential pricing for paper and supplies used in the printing process and for newer, more efficient equipment. We have various national purchasing contracts in place with major suppliers and manufacturers. Our purchasing support staff continually monitor market conditions and negotiate pricing and other contractual terms with these vendors to maximize the cost savings we achieve under these agreements. In addition, we have centralized certain administrative services, such as human resources, treasury, tax and risk management, to generate cost savings.
Best Practices/Benchmarking—Management teams at our printing businesses have access to strategic counsel and professional management techniques in such areas as planning, organization, and controls. We provide a forum for them to share their knowledge of technical processes and their best practices with one another through periodic group meetings attended by top management and other key personnel. We utilize our wide-area network and management information systems to benchmark financial and operational data, and share such information across our printing businesses to help their management teams identify and respond to changes in operating trends.
Leadership Development—Our program to recruit, train and develop recent college graduates as printing sales and management professionals is an integral component of our growth strategy. Participants in our Leadership Development Program follow a curriculum that provides them with technical industry knowledge, coupled with general business, managerial, sales and best practices training. Our Leadership Development Program is unique to the industry, and we believe it is a key factor in our ability to provide a high degree of quality customer service, as well as provide a pool of talent for future management positions at our printing businesses. As of April 30, 2007 we had 275 employees who were current participants in or graduates of this program, 19 of whom serve as the president of the printing business at which they are employed.
Printing Operations
We currently operate 68 printing businesses spanning 27 states and one Canadian province, plus 12 fulfillment centers and two technology hubs. Each printing business is operated as a wholly-owned subsidiary of our Company. We 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 e-commerce software solutions and other print-related, value-added services.
Commercial Printing Services
In general, commercial printing includes developing printable content through electronic prepress services, reproducing images on paper using printing presses and providing comprehensive finishing and delivery services. We maintain flexible production schedules in order to react swiftly to our customers’ requirements. Many printing projects require fast turnaround times, from conception through delivery, and our printing businesses must be able to absorb unexpected or short-notice demands for our services when called upon to do so. Consequently, our printing businesses do not generally operate at full capacity.
Our electronic prepress services include all of the steps necessary to prepare media (photographs, artwork, and typed copy) for printing. This process involves converting the media into digital images, separating digital color images into

process colors, and preparing a proof for customer approval. Most of our printing businesses produce printing plates using “computer-to-plate” technology, whereby digitized text, graphic images and line art are transferred directly from digital files onto printing plates. In addition, our printing businesses have adopted recent advances in technology that enable delivery of a high-quality proof for customer approval electronically via the Internet, eliminating the cost of producing and delivering a proof, or multiple rounds of proofs, in hard copy format. Computer-to-plate and remote proofing technology reduces costs, shortens turnaround time and improves product quality. We continually evaluate our existing electronic prepress capabilities and closely monitor the development of newer technology that may be used to increase productivity and improve quality to better serve our customers.
We primarily use offset lithography to reproduce images on paper, which is the process that generally provides the highest quality, lowest cost printed materials for most commercial printing projects. Short and medium-run projects are generally printed on sheetfed presses, while longer-run projects are typically printed on web presses. Digital printing is a smaller but fast-growing component of the general commercial printing industry that enables high quality, variable data customization (such as personalization by name, relationship or interests) on very short to medium-run projects.
Our printing businesses primarily use sheetfed printing presses, which are generally capable of printing up to 16 pages of letter-sized finished product on a 28 by 40 inch sheet of paper with eight pages on each side (known as a 16-page “signature”). Currently our printing businesses operate a total of 287 sheetfed presses capable of simultaneously printing from one to 10 colors and are capable of running at speeds of up to 15,000 impressions an hour. We operate 41 half and full-size web printing presses which print up to eight colors on a continuous roll of paper, print up to 32-page signatures on both sides of the paper at speeds of up to 50,000 impressions an hour and are also capable of folding, gluing and/or perforating the printed material in a single pass. We also operate a total of 106 digital presses, including 31 high capacity, ultra high quality presses such as Kodak Nexpress, Xerox iGen3 and HP Indigo 5000. Digital presses enable variable information printing and automatic personalization of printed materials. Our finishing services include cutting, folding, binding and other operations necessary to finish printed materials according to customer specifications. Many of our printing businesses also offer specialty finishing capabilities, such as die-cutting, embossing, and foil stamping.
Print-related Services
By offering innovative print-related capabilities and e-commerce solutions that respond to the needs of our customers, we believe that our Company has a competitive advantage that will help us generate additional sales. We provide a variety of fulfillment services, which primarily include assembling, packaging, storing, and distributing printed promotional, educational, and training documents and materials on behalf of our customers. Many corporations utilize our fulfillment capabilities to help manage their inventories of printed materials, as well as to provide “just in time” assembly and delivery of printed materials to end users. Orders for fulfillment services are commonly received via proprietary, Internet-based print procurement and inventory management systems maintained by our printing businesses, as discussed below. Additionally, we provide extensive mailing services for printed materials, particularly consumer-direct marketing, advertising and promotional pieces produced for our customers. We also offer a number of options for sorting, packaging, inkjet labeling and shipping of printed materials.
Utilizing our expertise in digital technology, we offer print-related e-commerce solutions that enable our customers to (i) streamline their print procurement process and improve their ability to manage the printed materials they order and (ii) design, procure, distribute, track and analyze results of printing-based marketing programs and activities. Most of these e-commerce solutions are Internet-based, and like the printed materials we produce, are customized to the specific needs of our customers. For marketing purposes, we refer to our e-commerce capabilities using the “CGXSolutions” trademark. The key e-commerce capabilities we offer include:
   
StoreFront
Enables customers to custom prepare and order printed materials and have them produced and delivered in such quantity, at such time and in such manner as they prefer
 
   
CrossMedia
A unique capability to enhance the creation, distribution, tracking and analysis of marketing programs and activities
 
   
Online digital asset library management
An internet-based solution providing comprehensive outsourcing of all image-based customer marketing materials
 
   
CGX Mail List
A robust, remotely hosted data warehouse and solution

Other e-commerce and electronic media services we offer include Internet services such as designing websites and programming interactive tools, CD-ROM development and production, foreign language translation services in over 100 different languages, composition and typesetting, and database management for customer-retention programs.
Under our National Sales organization (which is discussed below), sales support for CGXSolutions is provided to our printing businesses to assist them in identifying prospective customers and marketing our suite of CGXSolutions capabilities and services. We maintain CGXSolutions project management and staff to design and develop customized solutions in response to the specific needs of each customer. We also utilize support staff at each of our printing businesses who are trained and able to serve our customers’ needs related to our CGXSolutions capabilities and services. In fiscal 2007, 5% of our total sales were obtained through our CGXSolutions sales channel, an increase of 35% from the prior year. We expect this sales channel to be a significant component of our overall future internal sales growth.
Sales and Marketing
Most of our sales are generated by individual orders through commissioned sales personnel. As of April 30, 2007 we employed 593 sales professionals. In addition to soliciting business from existing and prospective customers, our sales personnel act as liaisons between customers and our production departments and also provide technical advice and assistance to customers throughout the printing process.
The nature of commercial printing requires a substantial amount of interaction with customers, including personal sales calls, reviews of color proofs and “press checks” (customer approval of printed materials during the printing process). Our sales professionals and customer service personnel maintain strict control of the printing process for every job we produce as it moves through our scheduling, prepress, printing, and finishing operations.
A significant element of our marketing focus is to ensure rapid response to customer requirements and produce high-quality printed materials at competitive prices. Rapid responsiveness is essential because of the short lead time on most commercial printing projects. Our printing operations are designed to maintain maximum flexibility to meet customer needs, both on scheduled and short-notice bases. Each of our printing businesses generally seek projects that it believes will best utilize its respective equipment and expertise; however, each has access to and is encouraged to offer its customers the broad range of capabilities we offer throughout our organization.
We also actively pursue opportunities to establish sole- or preferred-source, printing relationships with large corporations that are seeking to leverage their print spending and limit their number of commercial print providers. We refer to these customers as “national accounts” and aggregate sales to these customers as “National Sales.” To better position ourselves to capitalize on future national account opportunities, as well as to provide more sales training and support to our printing businesses, our National Sales organization consists of an executive level team of sales and marketing professionals who play a key support role to the efforts of our printing businesses to identify and develop national account opportunities. In fiscal 2007, our National Sales grew by 44% and represented 9% of our total sales. We expect National Sales to be a significant component of our overall future internal sales growth.
Customers
Our diverse customer base includes both national and local corporations in the U.S. and Canada operating in a wide range of industries, as well as mutual fund companies, advertising agencies, graphic design firms, catalog retailers, direct mail marketers, state and local governments and quasi-governmental agencies, education institutions, not-for-profit associations, and political campaign organizations. During fiscal 2007, we served over 22,000 customers, and our top ten customers accounted for approximately 8% of total sales, with none representing more than 1.5% individually. We believe that our large and diverse customer base, broad geographic footprint and extensive range of printing and print-related capabilities may lessen our exposure to economic slowdowns or other adverse consequences that may generally affect any particular industry or any particular geographic region. However, because we typically produce a large number of advertising and marketing materials for our customers, to the extent that advertising and marketing spending is reduced during an economic downturn, our consolidated financial condition or results of operations may be adversely affected.
Our customers generally are not contractually obligated to purchase printing services from us. Typically, we receive discrete orders from our customers for each printing project or service. Consequently, our continued engagement to provide additional commercial printing services largely depends upon, among other things, the customer’s satisfaction with the quality of services we provide. Although we do not depend on any one customer, group of customers or type of customer, our sales to many of our largest customers may fluctuate from year to year depending upon the number, size and complexity of projects they initiate and award us.

Suppliers
We purchase raw materials used in the commercial printing process (such as paper, prepress supplies, ink, and boxes) from a number of major North American, as well as many local, suppliers. We are not materially dependent on any one supplier and the raw materials we utilize are generally readily available. We use a two-tiered approach to purchasing in order to maximize the economies associated with our size, while maintaining the local efficiencies and time sensitivity required to meet customer demands. We negotiate master purchasing arrangements centrally with major suppliers and manufacturers to obtain preferential pricing terms, and then communicate the terms of these arrangements to our individual printing businesses. Each printing business orders goods and services through our major vendors as needed based on the terms set forth in our master purchasing agreements or, when appropriate, purchases locally. We continually monitor market conditions and product developments, as well as regularly review the contractual terms of our master purchasing agreements, to take advantage of our increasing buying power and maximize the benefits associated with these agreements. None of our supplier contracts obligate us to minimum purchase requirements that would result in us having to purchase excessive quantities of goods or incur a financial penalty.
We incur significant costs to purchase paper used in the printing process. However, fluctuations in paper pricing generally do 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. The majority of our paper supply is obtained through merchant distributors. There are relatively few merchants that are considered national in scope in the U.S. and Canada, with numerous regional merchants, that serve one or more of our printing businesses. We have negotiated master purchasing agreements with certain mills, which produce paper, and certain of the merchant distributors. These agreements typically provide for volume-related discounts and additional periodic rebates based on the total amount of purchases made by our printing businesses from each mill and/or merchant. In 2006, certain of our mill suppliers agreed to produce a Consolidated Graphics branded paper we named “Inspire”, under arrangements generally similar to our other major vendor agreements. “Inspire” enables us to further leverage our purchasing power and differentiate ourselves to customers in the marketplace.
We also purchase a large quantity of prepress supplies, consisting mainly of plates and proofing materials. There are a limited number of key manufacturers of these materials, and we generally purchase prepress supplies from major and regional distributors. We have obtained volume-related discounts and incentive arrangements from these manufacturers and receive periodic rebates based on the total amount of prepress supplies we purchase through these distributors.
Employees
As of April 30, 2007, we had 5,550 employees throughout our organization. Of this total, 684 were employed subject to the terms of various collective bargaining agreements, 294 of which are employed under collective bargaining agreements that have expired or will expire within one year. We believe that our relations with our employees are generally satisfactory.
Executive Officers
Joe R. Davis has been the Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of the Board of Directors since he founded our Company in 1985. Prior to forming CGX, Mr. Davis was a Vice President for a division of International Paper Company. He also previously served as a partner of a national public accounting firm. Mr. Davis is 64 years old.
G. Christopher Colville has been Executive Vice President, Chief Financial and Accounting Officer and Secretary since March 2002. Mr. Colville is a certified public accountant and is 49 years old. On May 9, 2007, we announced that Mr. Colville had decided to resign from the Company effective June 30, 2007. A successor has not yet been named.
Government Regulation and Environmental Matters
Our printing businesses are subject to the environmental laws and regulations of the U.S. and Canada as well as state, provincial and local laws and regulations concerning emissions into the air, discharges into waterways and the generation, handling and disposal of waste materials. The commercial printing process generates substantial quantities of inks, solvents and other waste products requiring disposal under the numerous national, state, provincial and local laws and regulations relating to the environment. Our printing businesses typically recycle waste paper and contract for the removal of waste products. We believe our Company is in material compliance with all applicable air quality, waste disposal and other environmental-related rules and regulations, as well as with other general employee health and safety laws and regulations. We do not anticipate any material future capital expenditures for environmental control facilities. There can be no assurance, however, that future changes in environmental laws and regulations will not have a material effect on our consolidated financial condition or results of operations.

Financial Information About Geographic Areas
We commenced operations outside the U.S. for the first time in 2007 with the acquisition of Annan & Bird Lithographers, located near Toronto in Mississauga, Ontario. Revenues and long-lived assets of our Canadian operations were $11.2 million and $29.3 million as of and for the year ended March 31, 2007.
Item 1A.  
Risk Factors
Our consolidated results of operations, financial condition and cash flows can be adversely affected by various risks. These risks include, but are not limited to, the principal factors listed below. Additional risks not presently known to us or that we currently deem immaterial may also adversely affect our business operations. You should carefully consider all of these risks.
Fluctuations in the costs of paper, ink, energy, postage and other raw materials may adversely impact us.
Purchases of paper, ink, energy, postage and other raw materials and goods and services represent a large portion of our costs. Any increases in the costs of these items will also increase our costs. Depending on the timing and severity of such increases we may not be able to pass these costs on to customers through higher prices. Increases in the costs of these items may also adversely impact our customers’ demand for printing and related services.
The financial condition of our customers may deteriorate and could affect payment of amounts owed to us.
We grant credit to substantially all of our customers. A decline in financial condition across a significant component of our customer base could hinder our ability to collect amounts owed by customers. In addition, such a decline could result in lower demand for our services. The potential causes of such a decline include broad or local economic downturns, the fact that many of our customers are in highly-competitive industries or markets, and the impact of regulatory actions.
We may not be able to improve our operating efficiencies rapidly enough to meet market conditions.
Because the markets in which we compete are highly-competitive, we must continue to improve our operating efficiency in order to maintain or improve our profitability. Although we have been able to improve efficiency and reduce costs in the past, there is no assurance that we will continue to do so in the future. In addition, the need to reduce ongoing operating costs may result in significant up-front costs to reduce workforce, close or consolidate facilities, or upgrade equipment and technology.
We may be unable to successfully integrate the operations of acquired businesses and may not achieve the cost savings and increased revenues anticipated as a result of these acquisitions.
Achieving the anticipated benefits of acquisitions will depend in part upon our ability to integrate these businesses in an efficient and effective manner. The integration of companies that have previously operated independently may result in significant challenges, and we may be unable to accomplish the integration smoothly or successfully. In particular, the coordination of geographically dispersed organizations with differences in corporate cultures and management philosophies may increase the difficulties of integration. The integration of acquired businesses may also require the dedication of significant management resources, which may temporarily shift senior management’s attention from the other day-to-day operations of the Company. Our strategy is, in part, predicated on our ability to realize cost savings and to increase revenues through the acquisition of businesses that add to the breadth and depth of our capabilities and services.
We may be unable to hire and retain talented employees, including senior management.
Our success depends, in part, on our general ability to attract, develop, motivate and retain highly skilled employees. The loss of a significant number of our employees or the inability to attract, hire, develop, train and retain additional skilled personnel could have a material adverse effect on us. Although our operating platform consists of many locations with a wide geographic dispersion, individual locations may encounter strong competition from other employers for skilled labor. In addition, many members of our management have significant industry experience and a long track record with us that is important to our continued success. If one or more members of our senior management team leave and we cannot replace them with a suitable candidate quickly, we could experience difficulty in managing our business properly, which could harm our business and results of operations.
Costs to provide health care and certain other benefits to our employees may increase.
We generally provide health care and certain other benefits to our employees. In recent years, costs for health care have increased more rapidly than general inflation in the U.S. economy. If this trend in health care costs continues, our cost to provide such benefits could increase, adversely impacting our business and results of operations.
Declines in general economic conditions or acts of war and terrorism may adversely impact our business.
Demand for printing services is highly correlated with general economic conditions. A decline in U.S. economic conditions may, therefore, adversely impact our business and results of operations. Because such outcomes are difficult to

predict, the industry may experience excess capacity resulting in declines in prices for our services. The overall business climate may also be impacted by domestic and foreign wars or acts of terrorism. Such acts may have sudden and unpredictable adverse impacts on demand for our services.
The highly competitive market for our services may create adverse pricing pressures.
The markets for our services are highly fragmented and we have a large number of competitors, resulting in a highly competitive market and increasing the risk of adverse pricing pressures in various circumstances outside of our control, including economic downturns.
Decline in preference for using or receiving printed materials in lieu of alternative mediums may adversely affect our business.
In addition to traditional non-print based marketing and advertising channels, online distribution and hosting of media content may gain broad acceptance or preferred status relative to printed materials among consumers generally and could have an adverse effect on our business. Consumer acceptance of electronic delivery as well as the extent that consumers may have previously replaced traditional reading of print material with online hosted media contents is uncertain. We have no ability to predict the likelihood that this may occur.
Changes in the laws and regulations to which we are subject may increase our costs.
We are subject to numerous laws and regulations, including, but not limited to, environmental and health and welfare benefit regulations as well as those associated with being a public company. These rules and regulations may be changed by local, state, provincial or national governments or agencies. Changes in these regulations may result in a significant increase in our compliance costs. Compliance with changes in rules and regulations could require increases to our workforce, increased cost for services, compensation and benefits, or investments in new or upgraded equipment.
Advances in technology may reduce barriers to entry and may result in increased competition.
Future advances in technology could cause certain cost and logistics barriers to entry in the general commercial printing industry to be reduced or eliminated, which may result in an adverse effect on our business and results of operations. Current cost barriers include the relatively large scale of equipment and real estate required to effectively compete in our industry, while logistics barriers include shipping, customer service and other costs that have historically precluded competitors not having a local presence from competing effectively from outside of a particular market, particularly foreign-based competitors.
We rely on our information technology infrastructure and our management information systems for many enterprise-critical functions. If our information systems fail to adequately perform these functions or if we experience an interruption in their operation, our business and results of operations could be adversely affected.
The efficient operation of our business depends on our information technology infrastructure and our management information systems. We generally rely on our management information systems to effectively manage accounting and financial functions, job entry, tracking, production, distribution and cost accumulation and certain purchasing functions. Our information technology infrastructure underlies both our management information systems and our CGXSolutions capabilities. The failure of our information technology infrastructure and/or our management information systems to perform could severely disrupt our business and adversely affect our results of operation. In addition, our information technology infrastructure and/or our management information systems are vulnerable to damage or interruption from natural or man-made disasters, terrorist attacks, computer viruses or hackers, power loss, or other computer systems, Internet telecommunications or data network failures. Any such interruption could adversely affect our business and results of operations.
We generally do not have long-term customer agreements.
Most of our customers are not contractually obligated to purchase future services from us. Although our business does not depend on any one customer or group or type of customers, we cannot be sure that any particular customer will continue to do business with us for any period of time.
We depend on good labor relations.
If the employees at one or more of our unionized businesses were to engage in a strike or other work stoppage, or if other employees were to become unionized, we could experience a disruption of operations, higher labor costs or both, which could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations.
We rely on the ability to borrow cash to make acquisitions, fund capital expenditures and provide working capital to the extent such cash needs exceed our internally generated cash flow.
We currently have a modest level of indebtedness and adequate capacity under our primary bank credit facility as well as other sources of capital to fund our foreseeable cash needs in excess of our projected internally-generated cash flows.

In May 2006, our Board of Directors approved a common stock share repurchase program providing for repurchases of our common stock not to exceed an aggregate of $68.3 million in open-market or block purchase transactions. We repurchased 465,644 shares of our common stock at a total cost of $24.7 million during fiscal 2007. No repurchases were made during the fourth quarter of fiscal 2007 or thereafter under this program. In May 2007, our Board of Directors approved a new common stock share repurchase program that will expire in May 2008 providing for repurchases of our common stock not to exceed an aggregate of $100.0 million in open-market or block purchase transactions. We expect to fund any additional repurchases under the program through cash flow provided by operations or additional borrowings under our primary bank credit facility. The amount and timing of any purchases will depend upon a number of factors, including our liquidity and potential alternative

uses of our capital resources, the price and availability of our shares, and general market conditions. There can be no assurance that we will determine to make additional repurchases of our common stock, and if so, whether we will be able to do so on terms acceptable to us.
We have not previously paid any cash dividends on our common stock. We presently intend to retain all of our earnings to finance the continuing development of our business and do not anticipate paying cash dividends on our common stock in the foreseeable future. Any future payment of cash dividends will depend upon the financial condition, capital requirements and earnings of our Company, as well as other factors our Board of Directors may deem relevant. In addition, our primary bank credit facility contains restrictions that limit our ability to pay dividends above certain levels.

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 this Form 10-K was filed to reflect the occurrence of events or changes in circumstances or expectations.
Overview
Our Company is a leading North American provider of commercial printing services with 68 printing businesses spanning 27 states plus one Canadian province. Complementing the printing services we provide, we also offer (i) state-of-the-art fulfillment services from 12 fulfillment centers located at or near one of our printing businesses and (ii) proprietary digital technology solutions and e-commerce capabilities from two technology hubs located at our corporate headquarters and at one of our printing businesses in the Baltimore/Washington D.C. area.
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 experienced 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 merger 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.
Our printing businesses maintain their own sales, customer service, estimating and planning, prepress, production and accounting departments. Our corporate headquarters staff provides support to our printing businesses in such areas as human resources, purchasing and management information systems. We also maintain centralized treasury, risk management, tax and consolidated financial reporting activities.
Our sales are derived from commercial printing services. These services consist of (i) traditional print services, including electronic prepress, printing, finishing, storage and delivery of high-quality materials which are custom manufactured to our customers’ design specifications; (ii) fulfillment and mailing services for such printed materials; and (iii) digital technology solutions and e-commerce capabilities that enable our customers to more efficiently procure and manage printed materials and/or design, procure, distribute, track and analyze results of printing-based marketing programs and activities. Examples of the types of documents we print for our customers include high-quality, multi-color marketing

Table of Contents

materials, product and capability brochures, point-of-purchase displays, direct mail pieces, shareholder communications, catalogs and training manuals.
Most of our sales are generated by individual orders through commissioned sales personnel. We recognize revenue from these orders when we deliver the ordered goods and services. To a large extent, continued engagement of our Company by our customers for successive business opportunities depends upon the customers’ satisfaction with the quality of services we provide. As such, it is difficult for us to predict with any high degree of certainty the number, size, and profitability of printing services that we expect to provide for more than a few weeks in advance.
Our cost of sales mainly consists of raw materials consumed in the printing process, as well as labor and outside services, such as delivery costs. Paper cost is the most significant component of our materials cost; however, fluctuation in paper pricing generally does not materially impact our operating margins because we typically quote, and subsequently purchase, paper for each specific printing project we are awarded. As a result, any changes in paper pricing are effectively passed through to customers by our printing businesses. Additionally, our cost of sales includes salary and benefits paid to operating personnel, maintenance, repair, rental and insurance costs associated with operating our facilities and equipment and depreciation charges.
Our selling expenses generally include the compensation paid to our sales professionals, along with promotional, travel and entertainment costs. Our general and administrative expenses generally include the salary and benefits paid to support personnel at our printing businesses and our corporate staff including stock-based compensation, as well as office rent, utilities and communications expenses, various professional services and amortization of identifiable intangible assets.

Our sales and expenses during the periods shown were impacted by the acquisition of two printing businesses in fiscal 2007, four printing businesses (two as tuck-ins) in fiscal 2006 and eight printing businesses in fiscal 2005. 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 one year compared to the prior year by the full-year impact of prior year acquisitions (as compared to the partial impact in the prior year) and the partial-year impact of current year acquisitions, and is referred to below as “incremental impact of acquisitions.”
Analysis of Consolidated Income Statements for Fiscal 2007 as Compared to Fiscal 2006
Sales for fiscal 2007 increased $127.2 million, or 14%, to $1.01 billion from $879.0 million in fiscal 2006. The $127.2 million revenue increase is attributable to $68.0 million of internal sales growth and $59.2 million from the incremental impact of acquisitions. Approximately 36% (or $24.4 million) of our internal sales growth resulted from election-related printing (which recurs generally on a biennial basis), while approximately 57% (or $38.9 million) was attributable to sales growth from National Sales and CGXSolutions. Compared to the prior year, National Sales were up 44% and accounted for 9% of our total sales. Sales attributable to our CGXSolutions sales channel (including $7.2 million of National Sales) were up 35% compared to the prior year and accounted for 5% of our total sales.

Gross profit for fiscal 2007 increased by $51.7 million, or 24%, to $269.2 million from $217.5 million in fiscal 2006. Approximately $31.5 million of the increase is attributable to the increased sales levels discussed above, including the incremental impact of acquisitions. The remaining increase of $20.2 million accounts for the increase in our gross profit percentage to 26.8% in fiscal 2007 compared to 24.7% in fiscal 2006, and is attributable to (i) margin leverage as certain of our operating costs are more fixed in nature (for example depreciation and rent expense) and (ii) incremental purchasing and pricing gains that we have been able to achieve.
Selling expense for fiscal 2007 increased $10.4 million, or 11%, to $101.7 million from $91.3 million in fiscal 2006. The increase is directly attributable to the increased sales levels noted above. As a percentage of sales, selling expenses in fiscal 2007 decreased to 10.1% from 10.4% in fiscal 2006, as (i) our sales growth leveraged certain selling expenses which are more fixed in nature (for example sales meetings and overhead) and (ii) a lower level of sales commissions and other expenses were incurred in connection with election-related printing and certain other components of our fiscal 2007 sales growth.
General and administrative expenses for fiscal 2007 increased $10.2 million, or 17%, to $69.2 million from $59.0 million in fiscal 2006. Recognition of share-based compensation expense totaling $2.7 million was a significant cause of the increase. The remainder of the increase was primarily attributable to the incremental impact of acquisitions (including direct expenses and $.3 million of incremental intangible asset amortization). Overall, as a percentage of sales, general and administrative expenses in fiscal 2007 increased to 6.9% (including a .3% increase attributable to share-based compensation expense) from 6.7% in fiscal 2006.
Goodwill impairment for fiscal 2007 was $11.5 million based on the Company’s annual evaluation of goodwill at March 31, 2007, in accordance with SFAS No. 142. The impairment was attributed to four printing businesses that in the aggregate accounted for approximately 3% of the Company’s total sales in fiscal 2007. No goodwill impairment was recorded in fiscal 2006.
Net interest expense for fiscal 2007 increased $1.2 million, or 22%, to $6.7 million from $5.5 million in fiscal 2006, due principally to a higher level of average debt outstanding and a generally higher interest rate environment. This increase in average debt outstanding in fiscal 2007 related principally to acquisitions completed and funded during the year, which totaled $67.6 million, and our common stock repurchases, which totaled $24.7 million.
We provided for income taxes for fiscal 2007 of $29.4 million, reflecting an overall effective tax rate of 36.6% as compared to an effective tax rate of 37.6% in fiscal 2006. In fiscal 2007, an income tax benefit of $3.7 million attributable to the goodwill impairment discussed above and a one-time credit of $.7 million for the impact of a net reduction in legislated state income tax rates on previously provided deferred income taxes were recorded. These tax benefits resulted in a net decrease of .2% on our overall effective tax rate. Excluding these items, the decrease in our overall effective tax rate was primarily attributable to (i) an increase in pre-tax earnings, which caused non-deductible expenses to be a smaller percentage of pre-tax earnings, thus lowering our effective tax rate and (ii) an increase in the estimated domestic production activities deduction for fiscal 2007.
Analysis of Consolidated Income Statements for Fiscal 2006 as Compared to Fiscal 2005
Sales for fiscal 2006 increased $100.0 million, or 13%, to $879.0 million from $779.0 million in fiscal 2005. After taking into account the $18.0 million sales impact in fiscal 2005 from biennial election-related printing, our fiscal 2006 sales increase was $118.0 million, or 16%, reflecting $111.2 million from the incremental impact of acquisitions and $6.8 million from internal growth. Our strategic sales initiatives had a positive impact on revenues attributable to both the incremental impact of acquisitions and internal growth. Individually, National Sales were up 48% in 2006 and accounted for 8% of total sales, sales attributable to our CGXSolutions sales channel (including $4.0 million to national accounts) were up 61% in 2006 and accounted for 4% of total sales, and sales attributable to cross-selling were up 17% in 2006 and accounted for 6% of total sales.
Gross profit increased by $25.1 million in fiscal 2006 to $217.5 million from $192.4 million in fiscal 2005 and gross profit margin for fiscal 2006 remained constant at 24.7% compared to fiscal 2005, as no significant relative fluctuations in the components of cost of sales occurred.
Selling expenses for fiscal 2006 increased 12% to $91.3 million from $81.5 million in fiscal 2005. The increase is directly attributable to the increased sales levels noted above. As a percentage of sales, selling expenses for fiscal 2006 decreased slightly to 10.4% from 10.5% in fiscal 2005, primarily reflecting leverage on the fixed components of our sales and marketing expenses.
General and administrative expenses for fiscal 2006 increased 9% to $59.0 million from $54.1 million in fiscal 2005, due principally to the incremental impact of acquisitions, including the incremental amortization of identifiable

intangible assets totaling $1.2 million. Our continuing efforts to control costs, together with the relatively fixed nature of corporate overhead, enabled us to offset the incremental amortization expense and gain additional leverage on our sales, resulting in a decrease in our general and administrative expenses as a percentage of sales to 6.7% from 6.9% in fiscal 2005.
Net interest expense for fiscal 2006 increased 8% to $5.5 million from $5.1 million in fiscal 2005. Although total debt outstanding declined by $18.0 million or 15% in fiscal 2006, fluctuations in our levels of debt outstanding during the year and a prevailing environment of rising interest rates resulted in the increase in interest expense compared to 2005.
We provided for income taxes of $23.2 million for fiscal 2006, as compared to $19.0 million in fiscal 2005, reflecting an effective tax rate of 37.6% as compared to an effective tax rate of 36.7% in fiscal 2005, primarily reflecting the impact of marginally higher state income tax rates.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Sources and Uses of Cash
Our historical sources of cash have primarily been cash provided by operations or borrowings under our various bank credit facilities. Our historical uses of cash have been for acquisitions of printing businesses, capital expenditures, payment of principal and interest on outstanding debt obligations and repurchases of our common stock. Supplemental information pertaining to our historical sources and uses of cash is presented as follows and should be read in conjunction with our consolidated statements of cash flows and the notes thereto included in Item 8.

Additionally, our cash position, working capital and debt obligations as of March 31, 2007, 2006 and 2005 are shown below and should be read in conjunction with our consolidated balance sheets and the notes thereto included in Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data:

Net cash provided by operating activities decreased by $6.4 million for fiscal 2007 compared to fiscal 2006. Although net income increased by $12.2 million (and $20.1 million excluding the non-cash after-tax impact of the goodwill impairment) in fiscal 2007, an increase of $30.9 million in working capital, excluding cash and cash equivalents and the effect of acquisitions, more than offset the increase in net income and caused the overall decline in net cash provided by operating activities. The current year increase in working capital is primarily related to a seasonal fluctuation attributable to our two acquisitions in fiscal 2007. Since our cash requirements in fiscal 2007 for capital expenditures, acquisitions and stock repurchases exceeded internally generated cash flow, we borrowed additional cash resulting in a $53.1 million increase in our total debt obligations for the year.
We believe that our cash flow provided by operations will be adequate to cover our fiscal 2008 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. During fiscal 2007, the Company completed the acquisitions of two printing businesses, Annan & Bird Lithographers, located near Toronto in Mississauga, Ontario, and The Hennegan Company, located outside of Cincinnati, Ohio in Florence, Kentucky. Subsequent to March 31, 2007, we announced that we had entered into a non-binding letter of intent to acquire Hopkins Printing, Inc. in Columbus, Ohio.
The Annan & Bird Lithographers and The Hennegan Company acquisitions were funded principally by borrowings under bank credit facilities. We expect to fund future acquisitions through cash flow provided by operations and/or additional borrowings. We have in the past issued our common stock as purchase price consideration in some of our acquisitions. Although we may issue common stock for such purposes in the future, we do not expect to do so in the foreseeable future because of our current financial liquidity and ability to utilize available cash or make additional borrowings instead of issuing common stock. The extent to which we will be willing or able to use our common stock in the future to make acquisitions will depend on its market value from time to time and the willingness of potential sellers to accept it as full or partial payment for the acquisition price, as well as our financial liquidity and available financing options.
In May 2006, our Board of Directors approved a common stock share repurchase program providing for repurchases of our common stock not to exceed an aggregate of $68.3 million in open-market or block purchase transactions. During fiscal 2007, we repurchased 465,644 shares of our common stock at a total cost of $24.7 million. No repurchases were made during the fourth quarter of fiscal 2007 or thereafter under this program. In May 2007, our Board of Directors approved a new common stock share repurchase program that will expire in May 2008 providing for repurchases of our common stock not to exceed an aggregate of $100.0 million in open-market or block purchase transactions. We expect to fund any repurchases under the program through cash flow provided by operations or additional borrowings under our primary bank credit facility. The amount and timing of any purchases will depend upon a number of factors, including our liquidity and potential alternative uses of our capital resources, the price and availability of our shares, and general market conditions. There can be no assurance that we will decide to make additional repurchases of our common stock, and if so, whether we will be able to do so on terms acceptable to us.
Debt Obligations
On October 6, 2006, we entered into a new revolving credit agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) effectively amending and restating our primary bank credit facility. The Credit Agreement provides for a $155.0 million revolving credit facility, with an accordion feature that could under prescribed conditions increase the facility to $240.0 million, and has a maturity date of October 6, 2011. On January 2, 2007, we entered into a First Amendment (the “Amendment”) to the Credit Agreement. The Amendment specifically (i) consented (a) to the incurrence of indebtedness and the maximum amount of indebtedness that can be incurred under the A&B Credit Facility (as defined below) and (b) to a guaranty of the A&B Credit Facility by Consolidated Graphics as the parent company of the borrower and (ii) waived certain provisions of the Credit Agreement that would have been applicable to the acquisition of Annan & Bird Lithographers. At March 31, 2007, outstanding borrowings under the Credit Agreement were $53.0 million and accrued interest at a weighted average rate of 6.76%.
Under the terms of the Credit Agreement the proceeds from borrowings may be used to repay certain indebtedness, finance certain acquisitions, provide for working capital and general corporate purposes and, subject to certain restrictions, repurchase our common stock. Borrowings outstanding under the Credit Agreement are secured by substantially all of our assets other than real estate and certain equipment subject to term equipment notes and other financings. Borrowings under the Credit Agreement accrue interest, at our option, at either (1) the London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) plus a margin of .625% to 1.25%, or (2) an alternate base rate (based upon the greater of the agent bank’s prime lending rate or the Federal Funds effective rate plus .50%). We are also required to pay an annual commitment fee ranging from .15% to .25% on available but unused amounts under the Credit Agreement. The interest rate margin and the commitment fee are based upon certain financial performance measures as set forth in the Credit Agreement and are redetermined quarterly. At March 31, 2007, the applicable LIBOR interest rate margin was .625% and the applicable commitment fee was .15%.
We are subject to certain covenants and restrictions and we must meet certain financial tests as defined in the Credit Agreement. We were in compliance with these covenants and financial tests at March 31, 2007. 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.
Concurrently with the Amendment, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Consolidated Graphics entered into an unsecured credit facility with a commercial bank (the “A&B Credit Facility”) consisting of a U.S. $35.0 million maximum borrowing limit component and a separate Canadian $5.0 million maximum borrowing limit component. At March 31, 2007, outstanding borrowings under the A&B Credit Facility were U.S. $30.0 million, which accrued interest at a weighted average rate of 6.06%, and Canadian $2.0 million ($1.7 million U.S. equivalent), which accrued interest at a weighted average rate of 5.07%.
Under the terms of the A&B Credit Facility, U.S. dollar denominated borrowings accrue interest and bear an annual commitment fee at rates equal to those under the Credit Agreement. Canadian dollar denominated borrowings accrue interest at our option, at either (1) the Canadian Dollar Offer Rate plus a margin of .625% to 1.25%, or (2) an alternate base rate based upon the Canadian Prime Rate. We are also required to pay an annual commitment fee ranging from .15% to .25% on available but unused Canadian dollar amounts. For both the U.S. and Canadian components, the interest rate margin and the commitment fee are based upon the financial performance measures set forth in the Credit Agreement and are redetermined quarterly. An annual reduction of U.S. $4.0 million on the U.S. dollar denominated commitment occurs on each anniversary date of the A&B Credit Facility until the final maturity date of January 2, 2011. There are no significant covenants or restrictions set forth in the A&B Credit Facility; however, a default by us under the Credit Agreement constitutes a default under the A&B Credit Facility. Proceeds from borrowings under the A&B Credit Facility may be used for general corporate purposes and included the acquisition of Annan & Bird Lithographers.
In addition to the Credit Agreement, we maintain two auxiliary revolving credit facilities (each an “Auxiliary Bank Facility” and collectively the “Auxiliary Bank Facilities”) with commercial banks. Each Auxiliary Bank Facility is unsecured and has a maximum borrowing capacity of $5.0 million. One facility expires in October 2008 while the other facility expires in December 2007. At March 31, 2007, outstanding borrowings under the Auxiliary Bank Facilities totaled $9.4 million and accrued interest at a weighted average rate of 6.10%. Because we currently have the ability and intent to refinance the borrowings outstanding under the Auxiliary Bank Facility expiring in December 2007, such borrowings are classified as long-term debt in our consolidated balance sheet at March 31, 2007. 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 March 31, 2007, outstanding borrowings under the Lender Notes totaled $36.7 million and accrued interest at a weighted average rate of 5.86%. The Lender Notes provide for either fixed monthly principal payments plus interest (at fixed rates) or for fixed payments of principal and interest (at fixed rates) for defined periods of up to eight years from the date of issuance, and are secured by certain equipment of the Company. At March 31, 2007, outstanding borrowings under the Equipment Notes totaled $10.0 million and accrued interest at a weighted average rate of 5.92%. The Equipment Notes provide for fixed payments of principal and interest (at fixed rates) for defined periods of up to ten years from the date of issuance and are secured by equipment which was concurrently purchased from the manufacturer. At March 31, 2007, the remaining balance of term equipment notes totaling $1.5 million primarily consists of various secured debt obligations assumed by us in connection with certain prior year acquisitions. We are not subject to any significant financial covenants in connection with any of the term equipment notes. 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 planned 2008 capital expenditures.
Our other debt obligations consist of a mortgage note of $4.6 million, a promissory note totaling $.9 million, industrial revenue bonds totaling $6.2 million and various other debt obligations totaling $.6 million. We do not have any significant financial covenants or restrictions associated with these other debt obligations.

(1)  
As we have both the ability and intent to refinance $4.7 million outstanding at March 31, 2007 under an Auxiliary Bank Facility due to expire in December 2007, such borrowing is classified as long-term debt in our consolidated balance sheet at March 31, 2007, but for purposes of this table only, this $4.7 million borrowing is included as a current debt obligation in the “Less Than 1 Year” category.
Operating leases—We have entered into various noncancelable operating leases primarily related to facilities and equipment used in the ordinary course of our business.
Letters of credit—In connection with our assumption of obligations under outstanding industrial revenue bonds, which are reflected as debt in the accompanying consolidated financial statements, and our assumption of certain contingent liabilities related to certain of our acquisitions, we had letters of credit outstanding as of March 31, 2007 totaling $8.1 million. In addition, we had one other letter of credit totaling $.1 million outstanding as of March 31, 2007. All of these letters of credit were issued pursuant to the terms of our Credit Agreement, which expires in October 2011, and we will be required to obtain replacement letters of credit at that time, as needed.
Insurance programs — We maintain third-party insurance coverage in amounts and against risks we believe are reasonable under our circumstances. We are self-insured for most workers’ compensation claims and for a significant component of our group health insurance programs. For these exposures, we accrue expected loss amounts which are determined using a combination of our historical loss experience and subjective assessment of our future loss exposure, together with advice provided by administrators and consulting actuaries. The estimates of expected loss amounts are subject to uncertainties arising from various sources, including changes in claims reporting patterns, claims settlement patterns, judicial decisions, legislation and economic conditions, which could result in an increase or decrease in accrued costs in future periods for claim matters which occurred in a prior period. Although we believe that the accrued estimated loss amounts are reasonable under the circumstances, significant differences related to the items noted above could materially affect our risk exposure, insurance obligations, and future expense.
Critical Accounting Policies
We have identified our critical accounting policies based on the following factors — significance to our overall financial statement presentation, complexity of the policy and our 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 March 31, 2007 were $185.7 million, net of a $3.1 million allowance for doubtful accounts. The valuation allowance was determined based upon our evaluation of known requirements, aging of receivables, historical experience and the current economic environment. While we believe we have appropriately considered known or expected outcomes, our customers’ ability to pay their obligations could be adversely affected by contraction in the economy or other factors beyond our control. Changes in our estimates of collectibility could have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial condition or results of operations.
Goodwill We evaluate the carrying value of our goodwill as of March 31st of each year, or at any time that management becomes aware of an indication of impairment. Our evaluation is based on certain data estimated by management to be indicators of future cash flows at each of our facilities. Estimating future cash flows requires judgments regarding future economic conditions, demand for services and pricing. Our evaluation also makes use of estimates of market multiples of cash flow at which transactions could be completed in the current market. If our estimates of future cash flows or market multiples prove to be materially inaccurate, an impairment charge could be necessary in future periods.

 

19


Table of Contents

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 the need for 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 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, 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 are prospectively 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, we retain an independent third-party valuation firm to assist in the identification, valuation and determination of useful lives of identifiable intangible assets in connection with our acquisitions.
New Accounting Pronouncements
In June 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Interpretation No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes (FIN 48). FIN 48 addresses the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an enterprise’s financial statements in accordance with SFAS No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes. FIN 48 prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. FIN 48 also provides guidance on derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure and transition. FIN 48 will be effective for us beginning April 1, 2007. We are currently evaluating the potential effect FIN 48 will have on our financial statements and related disclosures.
In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, Fair Value Measurement, which defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and expands disclosures about fair value measurement. Our adoption of SFAS No. 157 effective as of April 1, 2008 is not expected to have a material impact on our consolidated financial condition or results of operations.
In September 2006, the SEC issued Staff Accounting Bulletin (“SAB”) No. 108, Considering the Effects of Prior Year Misstatements when Quantifying Misstatements in Current Year Financial Statements, which provides guidance on how prior year misstatements should be taken into consideration when quantifying misstatements in current year financial statements for purposes of determining whether the current year’s financial statements are materially misstated. Our adoption of SAB No. 108 effective for fiscal 2007 did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial condition or results of operations.
In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities, including an amendment of FASB No. 115. SFAS No. 159 permits entities to choose, at specified election dates, to measure eligible items at fair value (the “fair value option”). A business entity shall report unrealized gains and losses on items for which the fair value option has been elected in earnings at each subsequent reporting period. Our adoption of SFAS

Item 7A.  
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 for changes in interest rates related primarily to our debt obligations, which as of March 31, 2007 include $53.3 million of fixed rate debt and $101.3 million of variable rate debt. A 1% increase in the interest rate on our variable rate debt would change our interest expense by approximately $1.0 million on an annual basis. The following table sets forth the average interest rate for the scheduled maturities of our debt obligations as of March 31, 2007 ($ in millions):

As we have both the ability and intent to refinance $4.7 million outstanding at March 31, 2007 under an Auxiliary Bank Facility, which is variable rate debt and is due to expire in December 2007, such borrowing is classified as long-term debt in our consolidated balance sheet at March 31, 2007, but for purposes of this table only, this $4.7 million borrowing is included as a current debt obligation for 2008.
We have operations in Canada, and thus are also exposed to market risk for changes in foreign currency exchange rates relative to the Canadian dollar. For the year ended March 31, 2007, a uniform 10% strengthening of the U.S. dollar relative to the Canadian dollar would have resulted in a decrease in sales and operating income of approximately $1.0 million and $.2 million. The effects of foreign currency exchange rates on our future results would also be impacted by changes in sales levels or local currency prices.

MANAGEMENT’S ANNUAL REPORT ON INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING
Management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as such term is defined in Securities Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(f) or 15d-15(f). Our internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. Our internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the Company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the Company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the Company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the Company’s assets that could have a material effect on the consolidated financial statements.
Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
The scope of management’s assessment of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting includes the Company’s consolidated subsidiaries, except for certain businesses acquired by the Company on January 2, 2007 and January 31, 2007, respectively, as permitted by the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. The Company’s consolidated net sales for the year ended March 31, 2007 were $1.01 billion, of which the certain businesses acquired by the Company on January 2, 2007 and January 31, 2007, respectively, represented $27.8 million. The Company’s consolidated total assets as of March 31, 2007 were $724.0 million, of which the certain businesses acquired by the Company on January 2, 2007 and January 31, 2007, respectively, represented $95.6 million.
Management assessed the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting based on the framework in Internal Control Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO). Based on our evaluation under the framework in Internal Control — Integrated Framework, our management concluded that our internal control over financial reporting was effective as of March 31, 2007. Our management’s assessment of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of March 31, 2007 has been audited by KPMG LLP, an independent registered public accounting firm, as stated in their attestation report which is included on page 25.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
The Board of Directors and Stockholders
Consolidated Graphics, Inc.:
We have audited management’s assessment, included in the accompanying Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting, that Consolidated Graphics, Inc. (the “Company”) maintained effective internal control over financial reporting as of March 31, 2007, based on criteria established in Internal Control—Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO). The Company’s management is responsible for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on management’s assessment and an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting based on our audit.
We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects. Our audit included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, evaluating management’s assessment, testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control, and performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.
A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.
Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
In our opinion, management’s assessment that the Company maintained effective internal control over financial reporting as of March 31, 2007, is fairly stated, in all material respects, based on criteria established in Internal Control—Integrated Framework issued by COSO. Also, in our opinion, the Company maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of March 31, 2007, based on criteria established in Internal Control—Integrated Framework issued by COSO.
The Company acquired certain businesses on January 2, 2007 and January 31, 2007, and management excluded from its assessment of the effectiveness of its internal control over financial reporting as of March 31, 2007, the certain businesses’ internal control over financial reporting associated with the total assets of $95.6 million, and total revenues of $27.8 million included in the consolidated financial statements of the Company and subsidiaries as of and for the year ended March 31, 2007. Our audit of internal control over financial reporting of the Company also excluded an evaluation of the internal control over financial reporting of the certain businesses.
We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the consolidated balance sheets of the Company and its subsidiaries as of March 31, 2007 and 2006, and the related consolidated statements of income, shareholders’ equity, and cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended March 31, 2007, and our report dated May 30, 2007, expressed an unqualified opinion on those consolidated financial statements.

1.  
BUSINESS
Consolidated Graphics, Inc. (collectively with its consolidated subsidiaries referred to as “the Company”) is a leading North American provider of general commercial printing services.
The Company’s printing businesses maintain their own sales, customer service, estimating and planning, prepress, production and accounting departments. The Company’s corporate headquarters staff provides support to its printing businesses in such areas as human resources, purchasing and management information systems. The Company also maintains centralized treasury, risk management, tax and consolidated financial reporting activities.
The Company’s sales are derived from commercial printing 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 the design specifications of the Company’s customers; (ii) fulfillment and mailing services for such printed materials, and (iii) digital technology solutions and e-commerce capabilities that enable the Company’s customers to more efficiently procure and manage printed materials and/or design, procure, distribute, track and analyze results of printing-based marketing programs and activities.
The scope and extent of services provided to the Company’s customers typically varies for each individual order it receives, depending on customer-specific factors including the intended uses for the printed materials. Furthermore, each of the Company’s locations generally is capable of providing a complete range of services to its customers. Accordingly, the Company does not operate its business in a manner that differentiates among its respective capabilities and services for financial or management reporting purposes, rather each of its printing businesses define a distinct reporting unit.
2.  
SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND OTHER INFORMATION
Accounting Policies
The accounting policies of the Company reflect industry practices and conform to generally accepted accounting principles in the United States. The more significant of such accounting policies are described below.
Principles of Consolidation—The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated. Under Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 131, Disclosures About Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information, the Company’s operations constitute one reportable segment because all of its printing businesses operate in the commercial printing industry and exhibit similar economic characteristics.
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 periods’ data have been made to conform to the 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.

Revenue Recognition and Accounts Receivable—The Company recognizes revenue upon delivery of each job, except for “bill and hold transactions,” in which case such revenue is recognized when all the service delivery criteria are fully met as per Staff Accounting Bulletin (‘SAB”) No. 104 issued by the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Losses, if any, on jobs are recognized at the earliest date such amount is determinable. 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 10% of the Company’s revenues in any of the years ended March 31, 2007, 2006 or 2005. The Company maintains an allowance for doubtful accounts based upon the expected collectibility of accounts receivable. Accounts receivable in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets are reflected net of allowance for doubtful accounts of $3,080 and $2,514 at March 31, 2007 and 2006.
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:
                 
    March 31  
    2007     2006  
 
               
Raw materials
  $ 15,608     $ 11,485  
Work in progress
    26,659       21,951  
Finished goods
    4,684       4,994  
 
           
 
  $ 46,951     $ 38,430  
 
           
Long-Lived Assets—The Company determines the realization of goodwill in accordance with SFAS No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets, and its other long-lived assets, including property, plant and equipment, and intangible assets other than goodwill in accordance with SFAS No. 144, Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets. Under SFAS No. 142, the Company determines fair value using capitalization of earnings estimates and market valuation multiples for each reporting unit. Under SFAS No. 144, the Company compares the carrying value of long-lived assets to its fair value determined by using projections of future undiscounted cash flows attributable to such assets and other factors such as business trends and general economic conditions. In the event that the carrying value of any long-lived asset exceeds its fair value, the Company records an impairment charge against income equal to the excess of the carrying value over the asset’s fair value.
Goodwill totaled $86,145 at March 31, 2007 and represents the excess of the Company’s purchase cost over the fair value of the net assets of acquired businesses, net of previously recorded amortization and impairment expense. As of March 31, 2007, the Company conducted its annual evaluation of goodwill and determined that an impairment of the goodwill attributable to four printing businesses totaling $11,533 was necessary. A tax benefit of $3,717 was recorded in connection with the impairment. Each of the Company’s printing businesses is separately evaluated for goodwill impairment because they comprise individual reporting units.
The net book value of other intangible assets at March 31, 2007 was $15,623. 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 under SFAS No. 142 and are generally amortized on a straight-line basis over periods of up to ten years. Amortization expense totaled $1,608 in 2007, $1,321 in 2006 and $155 in 2005.
No impairment of any long-lived asset was required in the years ended March 31, 2006 and 2005.
Other Assets—Other assets are principally comprised of deferred tax assets and non-current cash invested in restricted money-market funds. None of the individual items in other assets at March 31, 2007 and 2006 were individually greater than 5% of total assets in those years.

Other accrued liabilities are principally comprised of contingent transaction consideration associated with certain of the Company’s acquisitions and accrued self-insurance claims for certain insurance programs. None of the individual items in other accrued liabilities at March 31, 2007 and 2006 were individually greater than 5% of total current liabilities in those years.
Income Taxes—Income taxes are accounted for under the asset and liability method. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases and operating loss and tax credit carryforwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date.
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. The Company issued term notes payable totaling $5,110 and $16,508 (see Note 5. Long-Term Debt) in the years ended March 31, 2007 and 2006 to finance the purchase of certain new equipment.
The Company paid cash for interest and income taxes, net of refunds, totaling $6,030 and $33,895 in 2007, $5,373 and $18,952 in 2006, and $4,877 and $13,680 in 2005.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements—
In June 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Interpretation No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes- an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109 (FIN 48). FIN 48 addresses the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an enterprise’s financial statements in accordance with SFAS No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes. FIN 48 prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. FIN 48 also provides guidance on derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure and transition. FIN 48 will be effective for the Company beginning April 1, 2007. The Company is currently evaluating the potential effect FIN 48 will have on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.
In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, Fair Value Measurement, which defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and expands disclosures about fair value measurement. The Company’s adoption of SFAS No.157 effective as of April 1, 2008 is not expected to have a material impact on its consolidated financial condition or results of operations.
In September 2006, the SEC issued SAB No. 108, Considering the Effects of Prior Year Misstatements when Quantifying Misstatements in Current Year Financial Statements, which provides guidance on how prior year misstatements should be taken into consideration when quantifying misstatements in current year financial statements for purposes of determining whether the current year’s financial statements are materially misstated. The Company’s adoption of SAB No. 108 effective for fiscal 2007 did not have a material impact on its consolidated financial condition or results of operations.

In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities, including an amendment of FASB No. 115. SFAS No. 159 permits entities to choose, at specified election dates, to measure eligible items at fair value (the “fair value option”). A business entity shall report unrealized gains and losses on items for which the fair value option has been elected in earnings at each subsequent reporting period. The Company’s adoption of SFAS No. 159 effective as of April 1, 2008 is not expected to have a material impact on its consolidated financial condition or results of operations.
Other Information
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.
Related Party Transactions—In the normal course of business, the Company leases certain real estate from individuals who formerly owned an acquired printing business and are now employed by the Company.
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 fair value of its variable rate debt obligations, which totaled $101,297 and $51,937 at March 31, 2007 and 2006, approximated their recorded values. The Company estimates that the fair value of its fixed rate debt obligations totaling $53,268 at March 31, 2007 was $53,335 and that the fair value of its fixed rate debt obligations totaling $49,562 at March 31, 2006 was $41,280. 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.
Concentrations of Credit Risk—Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk are primarily trade accounts receivable. Concentrations of credit risk with respect to trade accounts receivable are limited because the Company’s printing businesses provide services to a large, diverse group of customers in various geographical regions. Management performs ongoing credit evaluations of its customers and generally does not require collateral for extensions of credit. The Company’s cash deposits are held with large, well-known financial institutions.
Stock-Based Compensation—Effective April 1, 2007, the Company adopted SFAS No. 123 (R), Share-Based Payment, which revised SFAS No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation. As a result, the Company now measures the cost of the employee services received in exchange for an award of equity instruments based on the fair value of the award at the date of grant rather than its intrinsic value, the method the Company previously used (see Note 8. Share-based Compensation). In addition, to the extent that the Company receives a tax benefit upon exercise of an award, such benefit is reflected under SFAS No. 123(R) as cash flow from financing activities in the Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows rather than operating activities as in prior periods.
Foreign Currency Translation—Assets and liabilities of subsidiaries operating outside the United States with a functional currency other than the U.S. dollar are translated at the year-end exchange rates. The effects of translation are included as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income in shareholders’ equity. Income and expense items are translated at the average monthly exchange rate.
Geographic Information—Revenues and long-lived assets of the Company’s subsidiaries operating outside the United States were $11,218 and $29,278 as of and for the year ended March 31, 2007, the first period the Company had non-U.S. operations.
Other Comprehensive Income—Other comprehensive income is comprised exclusively of foreign currency translation adjustments.
3.  
ACQUISITIONS
All of the Company’s acquisitions have been accounted for using the purchase method of accounting. Revenues and expenses of the acquired businesses have been included in the accompanying 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 prospectively 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. Contingent transaction consideration pursuant to earnout agreements is accrued as an additional cost of the transaction when payment thereof is deemed to be probable by the Company.

In fiscal 2007, the Company paid cash totaling $62,406 to acquire the operations and assets of two printing businesses. The preliminary allocation of the purchase price of the businesses acquired include current assets $18,890, property and equipment of $45,944, goodwill and other intangible assets of $15,507 and other assets of $216 less accrued liabilities of $18,151. Additionally, the Company (i) paid cash totaling $5,107 to acquire certain real property and (ii) paid net cash totaling $42 in connection with the finalization of certain working capital adjustments during fiscal 2007 relating to prior year acquisitions. Based on certain additional information received by the Company regarding its fiscal 2006 acquisitions, $1,530 of purchase price previously attributed to other intangible assets was allocated to goodwill during fiscal 2007. 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 2007 acquisitions, and expects to receive such information no later than one year following the respective dates of acquisition.
In fiscal 2006, the Company assumed debt totaling $1,465 and paid cash totaling $27,198 to acquire the operations and assets of four businesses, two of which were immediately merged into other existing operations of the Company. The preliminary allocation of the purchase price of the businesses acquired include current assets of $7,283, property and equipment of $13,046, goodwill and intangible assets of $13,275 and other assets of $55 less current liabilities of $4,996. Additionally, the Company paid cash totaling $785 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 and $6,331 of purchase price previously attributed to property and equipment and goodwill was allocated to intangible assets other than goodwill during fiscal 2006.

(In thousands, except share and per share data and percentages)
On October 6, 2006, the Company entered into a new revolving credit agreement (the “Credit Agreement”). The Credit Agreement provides for a $155,000 revolving credit facility, with an accordion feature that could under prescribed conditions increase the facility to $240,000, and has a maturity date of October 6, 2011. On January 2, 2007, the Company entered into a First Amendment (the “Amendment”) to the Credit Agreement. The Amendment specifically (i) consented (a) to the incurrence of indebtedness and the maximum amount of indebtedness that can be incurred under the A&B Credit Facility (as defined below) and (b) to a guaranty of the A&B Credit Facility by Consolidated Graphics, Inc. as the parent company of the borrower and (ii) waived certain provisions of the Credit Agreement that would have been applicable to an acquisition by the Company using proceeds of the A&B Credit Facility. At March 31, 2007, outstanding borrowings under the Credit Agreement were $53,000 and accrued interest at a weighted average rate of 6.76%.
Under the terms of the Credit Agreement the proceeds from borrowings may be used to repay certain indebtedness, finance certain acquisitions, provide for working capital and general corporate purposes and, subject to certain restrictions, repurchase the Company’s common stock. Borrowings outstanding under the Credit Agreement are secured by substantially all of the Company’s assets other than real estate and certain equipment subject to term equipment notes and other financings. Borrowings under the Credit Agreement accrue interest, at the Company’s option, at either (1) the London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) plus a margin of .625% to 1.25%, or (2) an alternate base rate (based upon the greater of the agent bank’s prime lending rate or the Federal Funds effective rate plus .50%). The Company is also required to pay an annual commitment fee ranging from .15% to .25% on available but unused amounts under the Credit Agreement. The interest rate margin and the commitment fee are based upon certain financial performance measures as set forth in the Credit Agreement and are redetermined quarterly. At March 31, 2007, the applicable LIBOR interest rate margin was .625% and the applicable commitment fee was .15%.
The Company is subject to certain covenants and restrictions and must meet certain financial tests under the Credit Agreement. The Company was in compliance with such covenants, restrictions and financial tests at March 31, 2007.
Concurrently with the Amendment, the Company entered into an unsecured credit facility with a commercial bank (the “A&B Credit Facility”) consisting of a U.S. $35,000 maximum borrowing limit component and a separate Canadian $5,000 maximum borrowing limit component. At March 31, 2007, outstanding borrowings were U.S. $30,000, which accrued interest at a weighted average rate of 6.06%, and Canadian $2,000 ($1,730 U.S. equivalent), which accrued interest at a weighted average rate of 5.07%.
Under the terms of the A&B Credit Facility, U.S. dollar denominated borrowings accrue interest and bear an annual commitment fee at rates equal to those under the Credit Agreement. Canadian dollar denominated borrowings accrue interest at the Company’s option, at either (1) the Canadian Dollar Offer Rate plus a margin of .625% to 1.25%, or (2) an alternate base rate based upon the Canadian Prime Rate. The Company is also required to pay an annual commitment fee ranging from .15% to .25% on available but unused Canadian dollar amounts. For both the U.S. and Canadian components, the interest rate margin and the commitment fee are based upon the financial performance measures set forth in the Credit Agreement and are redetermined quarterly. An annual reduction of U.S. $4,000 on the U.S. dollar denominated commitment occurs on each anniversary date of the A&B Credit Facility until the final maturity date of January 2, 2011. There are no significant covenants or restrictions set forth in the A&B Credit Facility; however, a default by the Company under the Credit Agreement will constitute a default under the A&B Credit Facility. Proceeds from borrowings under the A&B Credit Facility may be used by the Company for general corporate purposes and included funding for one of the Company’s 2007 acquisitions.
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 December 2007 while the other facility expires in October 2008. At March 31, 2007, outstanding borrowings under the Auxiliary Bank Facilities totaled $9,412 and accrued interest at a weighted average rate of 6.10%. Because the Company currently has the ability and intent to refinance borrowings outstanding under the Auxiliary Bank Facility expiring in December 2007, such borrowings are classified as long-term debt in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet at March 31, 2007. 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 March 31, 2007, outstanding borrowings under the Lender Notes totaled $36,656 and accrued interest at a weighted average rate of 5.86%. The Lender Notes provide for either fixed monthly

principal payments plus interest (at fixed rates) or for fixed payments of principal and interest (at fixed rates) for defined periods of up to eight years from the date of issuance, and are secured by certain equipment of the Company. At March 31, 2007, outstanding borrowings under the Equipment Notes totaled $10,007 and accrued interest at a weighted average rate of 5.92%. The Equipment Notes provide for fixed payments of principal and interest (at fixed rates) for defined periods of up to ten years from the date of issuance and are secured by the equipment which was concurrently purchased from the manufacturer. At March 31, 2007, the remaining balance of term equipment notes totaling $1,481 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 note totaling $4,608, a promissory note totaling $899, industrial revenue bonds totaling $6,185 and various other debt obligations totaling $586. The Company does not have any significant financial covenants or restrictions associated with these other debt obligations.
The principal payment requirements by fiscal year under the Company’s debt obligations referenced above are: 2008—$12,421; 2009—$16,436; 2010—$13,448; 2011—$9,037; 2012—$93,895; and thereafter—$9,328. As the Company has both the ability and intent to refinance the $4,732 outstanding at March 31, 2007 under an Auxiliary Bank Facility due to expire in December 2007, such borrowings are classified as long-term debt in our Consolidated Balance Sheet at March 31, 2007, and are classified above as fiscal 2012 principal payment requirements in conjunction with the maturity of the Credit Agreement.

Deferred income taxes reflect the future tax consequences of differences between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their financial reporting amounts as measured based on enacted tax laws and regulations. The Company records a valuation allowance, when appropriate, to adjust deferred tax asset balances to the amount the Company expects to realize. The Company considers the amount of taxable income available in carryback years and expectations of future taxable income, among other factors, in assessing the potential need for a valuation allowance. The components of deferred income tax assets and liabilities are as follows:

COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
Operating Leases—The Company has entered into various noncancelable operating leases primarily related to facilities and equipment used in the ordinary course of its business. The Company incurred total operating lease expense of $16,864, $18,089 and $15,213 for the years ended March 31, 2007, 2006 and 2005.
The Company’s future operating lease obligations by fiscal year are as follows:
                                                 
    2008     2009     2010     2011     2012     Thereafter  
 
                                               
Operating lease obligations
  $ 14,326     $ 12,029     $ 9,142     $ 6,850     $ 5,242     $ 12,015  
Letters of Credit—In connection with the assumption of obligations under outstanding industrial revenue bonds, which are reflected as debt in the accompanying consolidated financial statements, and the Company’s assumption of certain contingent liabilities related to certain of its acquisitions, the Company had letters of credit outstanding as of March 31, 2007 totaling $8,138. In addition, the Company had one other letter of credit totaling $100 outstanding as of March 31, 2007. All of these letters of credit were issued pursuant to the terms of the Company’s Credit Agreement, which expires in October 2011, and the Company will be required to obtain replacement letters of credit at that time, as needed.
Insurance Programs—The Company maintains third-party insurance coverage in amounts and against risks it believes are reasonable in its circumstances. The Company is self-insured for most workers’ compensation claims and for a significant component of its group health insurance programs. For these exposures, the Company accrues expected loss amounts which are determined using a combination of its historical loss experience and subjective assessment of its 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 the Company believes 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.

Legal Matters—From time to time, the Company is subject to legal proceedings and claims that arise in the ordinary course of its business. Currently, there are no legal proceedings or claims pending against the Company that management believes could have a material adverse effect upon the Company’s consolidated financial condition or results of operations.
Tax Matters—The Company is subject to examination by tax authorities for varying periods in various taxing jurisdictions. During the course of such examinations disputes occur as to matters of fact and/or law. Also, in most taxing jurisdictions the passage of time without examination will result in the expiration of applicable statutes of limitations thereby precluding the taxing authority from conducting an examination of the tax period for which such statute of limitation has expired. The Company believes that it has adequately provided for its tax liabilities.

SHARE-BASED COMPENSATION
Pursuant to the Consolidated Graphics, Inc. Long-Term Incentive Plan, as amended (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, restricted stock unit awards or other forms of equity-based compensation. Options granted pursuant to the Plan include incentive stock options within the meaning of Section 422 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and non-qualified stock options.

The risk-free interest rate represents the U.S. Treasury Bond constant maturity yield approximating the expected option life of stock options granted during the period. The expected option life represents the period of time that the stock options granted during the period are expected to be outstanding, based on the mid-point between the vesting date and contractual expiration date of each option. The expected volatility is based on the historical market price volatility of the Company’s common stock.

The total grant-date fair value of restricted stock unit awards which vested during 2007 was $130. The aggregate intrinsic value of outstanding and exercisable stock options and restricted stock unit awards as of March 31, 2007 was $58,291 and $45,405, respectively.
Effective April 1, 2006, the Company adopted SFAS No. 123(R). As a result, the Company now measures the cost of employee services received in exchange for an award of equity instruments, including grants of stock options and restricted stock unit awards, based on the fair value of the award at the date of grant rather than its intrinsic value, the method the Company previously used. The fair value of stock options is determined using the Black-Scholes model. The Company is using the modified prospective application method under SFAS No. 123(R) and has elected not to use the retrospective application method. Thus, amortization of the fair value of all nonvested awards as of April l, 2006, as determined under the previous pro forma disclosure provisions of SFAS No. 123, except as adjusted for forfeitures, is included in the Company’s results of operations commencing April 1, 2006, and prior periods have not been restated.
As a result of the adoption of SFAS No. 123 (R), the Company recorded $2,695 of share-based compensation expense for the year ended March 31, 2007. The after-tax impact to net income was $1,644, and the impact to both basic and diluted earnings per share was $.12 in fiscal 2007.
As of March 31, 2007, $2,154 of total unrecognized compensation cost related to stock options is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 1.1 years.
The accompanying consolidated income statements for 2006 and 2005 were not restated since the Company elected not to use the retrospective application method under SFAS No. 123 (R). A summary of the effect on net income and net income per share for fiscal 2006 and fiscal 2005 as if the Company had accounted for share-based compensation using the fair value recognition provisions of SFAS No. 123 is as follows (in thousands except per share data):

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
The Board of Directors and Stockholders
Consolidated Graphics, Inc.:
Under date of May 30, 2007, we reported on the consolidated balance sheets of Consolidated Graphics, Inc. and subsidiaries as of March 31, 2007 and 2006, and the related consolidated statements of income, shareholders’ equity, and cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended March 31, 2007, which are included in this Annual Report on Form 10-K. In connection with our audits of the aforementioned consolidated financial statements, we also audited the Valuation and Qualifying Accounts Schedule (Schedule II) listed in the index at Item 15(a)(2), for the period indicated above. This schedule is the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on this schedule based on our audits.
In our opinion, the financial information presented in Schedule II for the years ended March 31, 2007 and 2006, when considered in relation to the basic consolidated financial statements taken as a whole, presents fairly, in all material respects, the information set forth therein.
