AMERICAN REPROGRAPHICS COMPANY
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
(Unaudited)
1. Description of Business and Basis of Presentation
American Reprographics Company (ARC or the Company) is the leading reprographics company in the United States providing business-to-business document management services to the architectural, engineering and construction industry, or AEC industry. ARC also provides these services to companies in non-AEC industries, such as technology, financial services, retail, entertainment, and food and hospitality that require sophisticated document management services. The Company conducts its operations through its wholly-owned operating subsidiary, American Reprographics Company, L.L.C., a California limited liability company (Opco), and its subsidiaries.
Reorganization and Initial Public Offering
Prior to the consummation of the Company’s initial public offering on February 9, 2005, the Company was reorganized (the Reorganization) from a California limited liability company (American Reprographics Holdings, L.L.C. or Holdings) to a Delaware corporation (American Reprographics Company). In connection with the Reorganization, the members of Holdings exchanged their common member units for common stock of ARC. Each option issued to purchase Holdings’ common member units under Holdings’ equity option plan was exchanged for an option exercisable for shares of ARC’s common stock with the same exercise prices and vesting terms as the original grants. In addition, all outstanding warrants to purchase common units of Holdings were exchanged for shares of ARC’s common stock.
On February 9, 2005, the Company closed an initial public offering (IPO) of its common stock at $13.00 per share, consisting of 7,666,667 newly issued shares sold by the company and 5,683,333 outstanding shares sold by the selling stockholders.
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP) for interim financial information and in conformity with the requirements of the Securities and Exchange Commission. As permitted under those rules, certain footnotes or other financial information required by GAAP for complete financial statements have been condensed or omitted. In management’s opinion, the interim consolidated financial statements presented herein reflect all adjustments of a normal and recurring nature that are necessary to fairly present the interim consolidated financial statements. All material intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The operating results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2007, are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2007.
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. 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. Actual results could differ from those estimates and such differences may be material to the consolidated financial statements.
These interim consolidated financial statements and notes should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes included in the Company’s 2006 Annual Report on Form 10-K. The accounting policies used in preparing these interim consolidated financial statements are the same as those described in our 2006 Annual Report on Form 10-K, except for the adoption of FIN 48, which is further described in footnote 7.
Reclassifications
The Company reclassified certain amounts in our 2006 financial statements to conform to the current presentation. These reclassifications had no effect on the Consolidated Statements of Income as previously reported.
2. Stock-Based Compensation
The American Reprographics 2005 Stock Plan (the “Stock Plan”) provides for the grant of incentive and non-statutory stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock purchase awards, restricted stock awards, and restricted stock units to employees, directors and consultants of the Company. The Stock Plan authorizes the Company to issue up to 5,000,000 shares of common stock. The maximum amount of authorized shares under the Stock Plan will automatically increase annually on the first day of the Company’s fiscal year, from 2006 through and including 2010, by the lesser of (i) 1.0% of the Company’s outstanding shares on the date of the increase; (ii) 300,000 shares; or (iii) such smaller number of shares determined by the Company’s board of directors. At June 30, 2007, 2,610,630 shares remain available for grant under the Stock Plan.

Table of Contents

In March, the Company made its regular annual stock option grants which consisted of 600,500 stock options to key employees with an exercise price equal to the fair market value. In the second quarter of 2007 the Company issued 7,500 stock options to additional key employees with an exercise price equal to the fair market value. The stock options vest ratably over a period of three or five years and expire 10 years after the date of grant. Additionally, the Company issued shares of restricted common stock at the prevailing market price in the amount of $500,004, or 15,504 shares, to each of the Company’s CEO and President/COO, and $60,000, or 1,966 shares, to each of the five non-management board members. The shares of restricted stock issued to the Company’s CEO and President/COO will vest on the fifth anniversary of the grant date; the shares of restricted stock granted to the non-management board members will vest 1/12 th per month over twelve months.
The impact of the stock based compensation to the Consolidated Statement of Income for the three months ended June 30, 2006 and 2007, before income taxes were $0.6 million and $1 million, respectively.
The impact of the stock based compensation to the Consolidated Statement of Income for the six months ended June 30, 2006 and 2007, before income taxes were $1 million and $1.6 million, respectively.
As of June 30, 2007, total unrecognized compensation cost related to unvested shares-based payments totaled $14.5 million and is expected to be recognized over a weighted period of 4.0 years.
3. Employee Stock Purchase Plan
The Company adopted the American Reprographics Company 2005 Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the ESPP) in connection with the consummation of its IPO in February 2005. Under the ESPP, as amended, purchase rights may be granted to eligible employees subject to a calendar year maximum per eligible employee of the lesser of (i) 400 shares of common stock, or (ii) a number of shares of common stock having an aggregate fair market value of $25,000 as determined on the date of purchase.
Prior to the adoption of SFAS 123R, the Company amended its ESPP such that common stock purchases by employees in fiscal 2006 will not give rise to recognizable compensation cost. The purchase price of common stock offered under the amended ESPP is equal to 95% of the fair market value of such shares of common stock on the purchase date. Accordingly, during the six months ended June 30, 2007, the Company issued 1,784 shares of its common stock to employees in accordance with the ESPP at a weighted average price of $29.25 per share, resulting in $52 thousand of cash proceeds to the Company.
4. Acquisitions
During 2007, the company acquired the assets and liabilities of 6 U.S. reprographics companies. The aggregate purchase price of such acquisitions, including related acquisition costs, amounted to approximately $85.5 million, excluding cash acquired for which the company paid $80.9 million in cash and issued $4.6 million of notes payable to the former owners of the acquired companies. Such acquisitions were accounted for using the purchase method of accounting, and, accordingly, the assets and liabilities of the acquired entities have been recorded at their estimated fair values at the dates of acquisition. The excess purchase price over the fair value of net tangible assets and identifiable intangible assets acquired has been allocated to goodwill.
Set forth below is summary consolidated pro forma information for the Company, giving effect to the 2007 acquisitions as though they had been completed on the first day of each period presented. The summary consolidated pro forma information below is based on the preliminary purchase price allocation.

In conjunction with the acquisition of Imaging Technologies Services in April of 2007, the Company acquired the rights to be an Autodesk Value Added Reseller. The Autodesk agreement enables the Company to market and sell certain Autodesk software products and maintenance service programs. In accordance with SAB 104 and EITF 99-19 “ Reporting Revenue Gross as a Principal versus Net as an Agent” revenue from sales of the third party maintenance service program is recognized at the time of sale on a net basis as the Company is not the primary obligor. Product sales are recorded at the time of sale on a gross basis when the SAB 104 revenue recognition criteria is met, as in this transaction the Company acts as a principal in the transaction and assumes the risks and rewards of ownership. The net sales of these third party software products and maintenance programs were recorded under reprographics revenue and represented less than 0 . 5% of total revenue for the three-months ended June 30, 2007.
5. Goodwill and Other Intangibles Resulting from Business Acquisitions
In connection with its acquisitions, the Company has applied the provisions of SFAS No. 141 “Business Combinations”, using the purchase method of accounting. The assets and liabilities assumed were recorded at their estimated fair values. The excess purchase price over the fair value of net tangible assets and identifiable intangible assets acquired was recorded as goodwill.
The changes in the carrying amount of goodwill from December 31, 2006 through June 30, 2007, are summarized as follows:
         
    Goodwill  
    (Dollars in  
    thousands)  
Balance at December 31, 2006
  $ 291,290  
Additions
  $ 60,558  
 
     
Balance at June 30, 2007
  $ 351,848  
 
     
The additions to goodwill include the excess purchase price over fair value of net assets acquired, purchase price adjustments, and certain earnout payments totaling $5.9 million.
Other intangible assets that have finite lives are amortized over their useful lives. Intangible assets with finite useful lives consist primarily of not-to-compete covenants, certain trade names, and customer relationships and are amortized over the expected period of benefit which ranges from two to twenty years using the straight-line and accelerated methods. Customer relationships are amortized under an accelerated method which reflects the related customer attrition rates, and trade names and not-to-compete covenants are amortized using the straight-line method. An impaired asset is written down to fair value.
In connection with the Company’s acquisition of Imaging Technologies Services non-amortizable intangibles of $6.4 million were identified, consisting of trade names, as they do not have a finite life.
The following table sets forth the Company’s other intangible assets resulting from business acquisitions at December 31, 2006 and June 30, 2007, which continue to be amortized:

In December 2005, the Company entered into a Second Amended and Restated Credit and Guaranty Agreement (the Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement). The Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement provided the Company a $310.6 million Senior Secured Credit Facility, comprised of a $280.6 million term loan facility and a $30 million revolving credit facility.
In July 2006, to finance an acquisition, the Company borrowed $30 million of the then available $50 million in its term loan facility. Subsequent to the borrowing, the Company entered into a First Amendment to the Second Amended and Restated Credit and Guaranty Agreement (the First Amendment) in order to facilitate the consummation of certain proposed acquisitions. The First Amendment provided the Company with a $30 million increase to its Term Loan Facility, thus restoring availability of the term loan facility to $50 million.
On April 27, 2007 the Company entered into a Second Amendment to Second Amended and Restated Credit and Guaranty Agreement (the Second Amendment) in order to facilitate the consummation of certain proposed acquisitions. In conjunction with the Second Amendment the Company borrowed $50 million from its Term Loan Facility in addition to amending certain other terms including the following:

Table of Contents

    Eliminating the aggregate purchase price limitation for business acquisitions in favor of permitting the Company to incur New Term Loan Commitments at any time, subject to the achievement of a Leverage Ratio on a pro forma basis after giving effect to such New Term Loan Commitments of less than 3.00:1.00 (together with certain existing conditions);
 
    An increase in the threshold for capital lease obligations;
 
    An increase in the threshold for subordinated notes payable;
 
    An increase in the threshold for investments; and
 
    Elimination of capital lease obligations from the definition of Consolidated Capital Expenditures in conjunction with a reduction of the threshold for Consolidated Capital Expenditures.
Except as described above, all other material terms and conditions, including the maturity dates of the Company’s existing senior secured credit facilities, remained similar to those as described in Note 5-“Long Term Debt” to our consolidated financial statements included in our 2006 Annual Report on Form 10-K.
During the six months ended June 30, 2007, the Company made no payments, exclusive of contractually scheduled payments, on its senior secured credit facility.
7. Income Taxes
On a quarterly basis, the Company estimates what its effective tax rate will be for the full fiscal year and records a quarterly income tax provision based on the anticipated rate in conjunction with the recognition of any discrete items within the quarter.
The Company’s effective income tax rate decreased from 40.0% in the three and six months ended June 30, 2006 to 37.2% and 37.0% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2007, respectively. The decrease is primarily due to a Domestic Production Activities Deduction (“DPAD”) to be taken in the Company’s consolidated federal income tax return and certain state income tax returns for the 2006 and 2007 tax years. A discrete item of $.2 million and $.7 million related to the 2006 DPAD is reflected in the effective income tax rate in the three and six months ended June 30, 2007, respectively, due to the Company’s ability to now claim the deduction for 2006 activities based upon a change in a tax accounting method in 2007 that is applied retroactive to 2006.
The Company adopted the provisions of Financial Accounting Standards Board Interpretation No. 48 Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes (“FIN 48”) an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109 (“SFAS 109”) on January 1, 2007. The adoption of FIN 48 did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position and results of operations. At the adoption date on January 1, 2007, the Company had $0.9 million of unrecognized tax benefits, all of which would affect the Company’s effective tax rate if recognized. At June 30, 2007, the Company has $0.9 million of unrecognized tax benefits, all of which would affect the Company’s effective tax rate if recognized.
The Company recognizes interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions in income tax expense.
The Company, or one of its subsidiaries, files income tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction, and various states and foreign jurisdictions. With few exceptions, the Company is no longer subject to U.S. federal, state and local, or non-U.S. income tax examinations by income tax authorities for tax years before 2003.

8. Commitments and Contingencies
Operating Leases. We have entered into various non-cancelable operating leases primarily related to facilities, equipment and vehicles used in the ordinary course of our business.
Contingent Transaction Consideration. The Company entered into earnout agreements in connection with prior acquisitions. If the acquired businesses generate operating profits in excess of predetermined targets, the Company is obligated to make additional cash payments in accordance with the terms of such earnout agreements. As of June 30, 2007, the Company has potential future earnout obligations aggregating to approximately $8.8 million through 2010 if the operating profits exceed the predetermined targets. Earnout payments are recorded as additional purchase price (as goodwill) when the contingent payments are earned and become payable.
Autodesk Agreement . The agreement has annual minimum purchase requirements that as of June 30, 2007 the Company believes will be met.
Louis Frey Case. On August 16, 2006 a judgment was entered against the Company in the previously disclosed Louis Frey Company bankruptcy litigation in the United States Bankruptcy Court, Southern District of New York. The judgment awarded damages to the plaintiff in the principal amount of $11.1 million, interest, and $.2 million in preference claims. The Company continues to believe its position is meritorious, and commenced an appeal from the judgment in the United States District Court, Southern District of New York. On April 26, 2007 that court affirmed the judgment, and the Company filed an appeal from the judgment in the United States Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit. In accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), the Company accounted for the judgment by recording a one-time, non-recurring litigation charge of $14 million in 2006 that included a $11.3 million litigation reserve ($11.1 million in awarded damages and $.2 million in preference claims), and interest expense of $2.7 million. These charges were offset by a corresponding tax benefit of $5.6 million, resulting in an impact of $8.4 million to net income in 2006. The Company has paid the $.2 million preference claim and has accrued an additional $.4 million for interest during the six months ended June 30, 2007. In order to stay the execution of the Louis Frey judgment pending appeal, the Company posted a bond in the United States Bankruptcy Court, Southern District of New York, collateralized by $7.5 million in cash, which is included in the restricted cash balance as of June 30, 2007.
Other Litigation . As a result of a mediation conducted in June 2007, the Company settled lawsuits for reimbursement of incurred legal expenses and claims asserted by the Company alleging unfair competition, trade secret misappropriation, and breach of contract in consideration for a cash payment to the Company in the sum of $3.3 million. The Company accounted for the settlement payment by recording the benefit of $3.3 million as an offset to selling, general, and administrative expense during the second quarter of 2007. The Company received this sum on August 7, 2007.
FIN 48 Liability. As a result of the adoption of FIN 48 we have a $.9 million contingent liability for uncertain tax positions. We are not updating the disclosures in our long-term contractual obligations table presented in our 2006 Form 10-K because of the difficulty in making reasonably reliable estimates of the timing of cash settlements with the respective taxing authorities (see Note 7 to the Financial Statements for additional discussion).
The Company may be involved in litigation and other legal matters from time to time in the normal course of business. Management does not believe that the outcome of any of these matters will have a material adverse effect on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

9. Comprehensive Income
The Company’s comprehensive income includes foreign currency translation adjustments, and changes in the fair value of certain financial derivative instruments, net of taxes, which qualify for hedge accounting. The differences between net income and comprehensive income for the three and six months ended June 30, 2006 and 2007 are as follows:
                                 
    Three Months Ended     Six Months Ended  
    June 30,     June 30,  
    2006     2007     2006     2007

Asset and liability accounts of international operations are translated into U.S. dollars at current rates. Revenues and expenses are translated at the weighted-average currency rate for the fiscal year.
10. Earnings Per Share
The Company accounts for earnings per share in accordance with SFAS No. 128, “Earnings per Share.” Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted earnings per share is computed similar to basic earnings per share except that the denominator is increased to include the number of additional common shares that would have been outstanding if the potential common shares had been issued and if the additional common shares were dilutive. Common stock equivalents are excluded from the computation if their effect is anti-dilutive. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2006, there were no stock options excluded in the calculation of diluted net income per common share. Stock options totaling 1.3 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2007, were excluded from the calculation of diluted net income per common share because they were anti-dilutive.
Basic and diluted earnings per share were calculated using the following common shares for the three and six months ended June 30, 2006 and 2007:
                                 
    Three Months Ended     Six Months Ended  
    June 30,     June 30,  
    2006     2007     2006     2007  
    (Unaudited)  
 
                               
Weighted average common shares outstanding during the period — basic
    44,932,873       45,455,828       44,779,662       45,400,380  
 
                               
Effect of dilutive stock options
    577,285       424,359       532,930       431,644  
 
                       
 
                               
Weighted average common shares outstanding during the period — diluted
    45,510,158       45,880,187       45,312,592       45,832,024

11. Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In March 2006, the consensus of Emerging Issue Task Force (“EITF”) Issue No. 06-3, “How Taxes Collected from Customers and Remitted to Governmental Authorities Should Be Presented in the Income Statement (That Is, Gross versus Net Presentation),” was published. The scope of this Issue includes any tax assessed by a government authority that is both imposed on and concurrent with a specific revenue-producing transaction between a seller and a customer, and may include, but is not limited to, sales, use, value-added, and some excise taxes. The scope of this Issue excludes tax schemes that are based on gross receipts and taxes that are imposed during the inventory procurement process. The Task Force reached a consensus that the presentation of such taxes on either a gross basis (included in revenues and costs), or net basis (excluded from revenues) is an accounting policy decision that should be disclosed. An entity is not required to reevaluate its existing policies related to taxes assessed by a governmental authority as a result of this consensus. In addition, for any such taxes that are reported on a gross basis, an entity should disclose the amounts of those taxes in interim and annual financial statements for each period for which an income statement is presented if those amounts are significant. The consensuses of this Issue should be applied for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2006. The adoption of this Issue has not had a significant impact on the Company’s results of operations and financial position, as the Company generally does not recognize taxes collected from customers and remitted to governmental authorities in the Company’s results of operations.
On July 13, 2006, the FASB issued Interpretation 48 (FIN 48) “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes: an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109.” This interpretation clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an entity’s financial statements in accordance with SFAS No. 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes.” FIN 48 prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement principles for financial statement disclosure of tax positions taken or expected to be taken on a tax return. The Company adopted the provision of this interpretation effective January 1, 2007. The adoption of FIN 48 did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position and results of operations. See Note 7, Income Taxes, for further discussion.
On September 15, 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, Fair Value Measurements. SFAS No. 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles and expands disclosure about fair value measurements. This Statement applies under other accounting pronouncements that require or permit fair value measurements, the FASB having previously concluded in those accounting pronouncements that fair value is the relevant measurement attribute. Accordingly, this Statement does not require any new fair value measurements. SFAS No. 157 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2007, or fiscal year 2008 for the Company. The Company is currently evaluating the impact, if any; the adoption of SFAS No. 157 will have on the Company’s consolidated financial position and 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 Statement No. 115 . SFAS No. 159 permits entities to choose to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair value. Unrealized gains and losses on items for which the fair value option has been elected will be recognized in earnings at each subsequent reporting date. SFAS No. 159 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007, which is the year beginning January 1, 2008 for the Company. The Company is evaluating the impact that the adoption of SFAS No. 159 will have on its consolidated results of operations and financial condition.

Executive Summary
American Reprographics Company is the leading reprographics company in the United States. We provide business-to-business document management services to the architectural, engineering and construction industry, or AEC industry, through a nationwide network of independently-branded service centers. The majority of our customers know us as a local reprographics provider, usually with a local brand and a long history in the community. We also serve a variety of clients and businesses outside the AEC industry in need of sophisticated document management services.
Our services apply to time-sensitive and graphic-intensive documents, and fall into four primary categories:
    Document management;
 
    Document distribution & logistics;
 
    Print-on-demand; and
 
    On-site services, frequently referred to as facilities management, or FMs, (any combination of the above services supplied at a customer’s location).
We deliver these services through our specialized technology, more than 700 sales and customer service employees interacting with our customers every day, and more than 3,900 on-site services facilities at our customers’ locations. All of our local service centers are connected by a digital infrastructure, allowing us to deliver services, products, and value to approximately 107,000 companies throughout the country.
Our divisions operate under local brand names. Each brand name typically represents a business or group of businesses that has been acquired since the formation of the Company. We coordinate these operating divisions and consolidate their service offerings for large regional or national customers through a corporate-controlled “Premier Accounts” division.
A significant component of our growth has been from acquisitions. In the first six months of 2007, we paid $86.5 million for six new acquisitions and other cash payments associated with prior year acquisitions. In 2006, we acquired 16 businesses for $87.7 million. Each acquisition was accounted for using the purchase method, and as such, our consolidated income statements reflect sales and expenses of acquired businesses only for post-acquisition periods. All acquisition amounts include acquisition-related costs.
As part of our growth strategy, we sometimes open or acquire branch or satellite service centers in contiguous markets, which we view as a low cost, rapid form of market expansion. Our branch openings require modest capital expenditures and are expected to generate operating profit within 12 months from opening .
In the following pages, we offer descriptions of how we manage and measure financial performance throughout the company. Our comments in this report represent our best estimates of current business trends and future trends that we think may affect our business. Actual results, however, may differ from what is presented here.
Evaluating our Performance. We evaluate our success in delivering value to our shareholders by striving for the following:
    Creating consistent, profitable revenue growth;
 
    Maintaining our industry leadership as measured by our geographical footprint, market share and revenue generation;
 
    Continuing to develop and invest in our products, services, and technology to meet the changing needs of our customers;
 
    Maintaining the lowest cost structure in the industry; and
 
    Maintaining a flexible capital structure that provides for both responsible debt service and the pursuit of acquisitions and other high-return investments.

Primary Financial Measures We use net sales, costs and expenses, and operating cash flow to operate and assess the performance of our business.
The Company identifies operating segments based on the various business activities that earn revenue and incur expense, whose operating results are reviewed by management. Based on the fact that operating segments have similar products and services, class of customers, production process and performance objectives, the Company is deemed to operate as a single reportable business segment. Please refer to our 2006 Annual Report on Form 10-K for more information regarding our primary financial measures.
Other Common Financial Measures We also use a variety of other common financial measures as indicators of our performance, including:
    Net income and earnings per share;
 
    EBIT;
 
    EBITDA;
 
    Material costs as a percentage of net sales; and
 
    Days Sales Outstanding/Days Sales Inventory/Days Accounts Payable.
In addition to using these financial measures at the corporate level, we monitor some of them daily and location-by-location through use of our proprietary company intranet and reporting tools. Our corporate operations staff also conducts a monthly variance analysis on the income statement, balance sheet, and cash flows of each operating division.
We believe our current customer segment mix has approximately 80% of our revenues generating from the AEC market, while 20% is generated from non-AEC sources. We believe this mix is optimal because it offers us the advantages of diversification without diminishing our focus on our core competencies.
Not all of these financial measurements are represented directly on the Company’s consolidated financial statements, but meaningful discussions of each are part of our quarterly disclosures and presentations to the investment community.
Acquisitions Our disciplined approach to complementary acquisitions has led us to acquire reprographics businesses that fit our profile for performance potential and meet strategic criteria for gaining market share. In most cases, performance of newly acquired businesses improves almost immediately due to the application of financial best practices, significantly greater purchasing power, and productivity-enhancing technology.
According to the International Reprographics Association (IRgA), the reprographics industry is highly-fragmented and comprised primarily of small businesses with an average of $1.5 million in annual sales. Our own experience in acquiring reprographics businesses over the past eleven years supports this estimate.
When we acquire businesses, our management typically uses the previous year’s sales figures as an informal basis for estimating future revenues for the Company. We do not use this approach for formal accounting or reporting purposes but as an internal benchmark with which to measure the future effect of operating synergies, best practices and sound financial management on the acquired entity.
We also use previous year’s sales figures to assist us in determining how the acquired company will be integrated into the overall management structure of the Company. We categorize newly acquired businesses in one of two ways:
1.   Standalone Acquisitions . Post-acquisition, these businesses maintain their existing local brand and act as strategic platforms for the Company to acquire market share in and around the specific geographical location.
 
2.   Branch/Fold-in Acquisitions . These are equivalent to our opening a new or “greenfield” branch. They support an outlying portion of a larger market and rely on a larger centralized production facility nearby for strategic management, load balancing, for providing specialized services, and for administrative and other “back office” support. We maintain the staff and equipment of these businesses to a minimum to serve a small market or a single large customer, or we may physically integrate (fold-in) staff and equipment into a larger nearby production facility.

Economic Factors Affecting Financial Performance. As previously noted, we estimate that sales to the AEC market accounted for 80% of our net sales for the year ended December 31, 2006, with the remaining 20% consisting of sales to non-AEC markets (based on our annual review of the top 30% of our customers, and designating customers as either AEC or non-AEC based on their primary use of our services). As a result, our operating results and financial condition can be significantly affected by economic factors that influence the AEC industry, such as construction spending, GDP growth, interest rates, employment rates, office vacancy rates, and government expenditures. Similar to the AEC industry, the reprographics industry typically lags trends in the general economy.
Non-GAAP Measures
EBIT and EBITDA and related ratios presented in this report are supplemental measures of our performance that are not required by or presented in accordance with GAAP. These measures are not measurements of our financial performance under GAAP and should not be considered as alternatives to net income, income from operations, or any other performance measures derived in accordance with GAAP or as an alternative to cash flow from operating, investing or financing activities as a measure of our liquidity.
EBIT represents net income before interest and taxes. EBITDA represents net income before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization. EBIT margin is a non-GAAP measure calculated by subtracting depreciation and amortization from EBITDA and dividing the result by net sales. EBITDA margin is a non-GAAP measure calculated by dividing EBITDA by net sales.
We present EBIT and EBITDA and related ratios because we consider them important supplemental measures of our performance and liquidity. We believe investors may also find these measures meaningful, given how our management makes use of them. The following is a discussion of our use of these measures.
We use EBIT to measure and compare the performance of our operating segments. Our operating segments’ financial performance includes all of the operating activities except for debt and taxation which are managed at the corporate level. As a result, EBIT is the best measure of divisional profitability and the most useful metric by which to measure and compare the performance of our operating segments. We also use EBIT to measure performance for determining operating division-level compensation and use EBITDA to measure performance for determining consolidated-level compensation. We also use EBITDA as a metric to manage cash flow from our operating segments to the corporate level and to determine the financial health of each operating segment. As noted above, since debt and taxation are managed at the corporate level, the cash flow from each operating segment should be equal to the corresponding EBITDA of each operating segment, assuming no other changes to an operating segment’s balance sheet. As a result, we reconcile EBITDA to cash flow monthly as one of our key internal controls. We also use EBIT and EBITDA to evaluate potential acquisitions and to evaluate whether to incur capital expenditures.
EBIT, EBITDA and related ratios have limitations as analytical tools, and you should not consider them in isolation, or as a substitute for analysis of our results as reported under GAAP. Some of these limitations are as follows:
    They do not reflect our cash expenditures, or future requirements for capital expenditures and contractual commitments;
 
    They do not reflect changes in, or cash requirements for, our working capital needs;
 
    They do not reflect the significant interest expense, or the cash requirements necessary, to service interest or principal payments on our debt;
 
    Although depreciation and amortization are non-cash charges, the assets being depreciated and amortized will often have to be replaced in the future, and EBITDA does not reflect any cash requirements for such replacements; and
 
    Other companies, including companies in our industry, may calculate these measures differently than we do, limiting their usefulness as comparative measures.

Because of these limitations, EBIT, EBITDA, and related ratios should not be considered as measures of discretionary cash available to us to invest in business growth or to reduce our indebtedness. We compensate for these limitations by relying primarily on our GAAP results and using EBIT and EBITDA only as supplements. For more information, see our consolidated financial statements and related notes elsewhere in this report. Additionally, please refer to our 2006 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Net Sales.
Net sales increased by 17.3% for the three months ended June 30, 2007, compared to the three months ended June 30, 2006. Net sales increased by 15.6% for the six months ended June 30, 2007 compared to the same period in 2006.
In the three months ended June 30, 2007, approximately 13.0% of the 17.3% net sales increase was related to our standalone acquisitions since June 30, 2006. (See page 17 of this report for an explanation of acquisition type.)
In the six months ended June 30, 2007, 11.2% of the 15.6% net sales increase was related to our standalone acquisitions since June 30, 2006.
Below is geographical revenue for the three and six months ended June 30, 2007 compared to the three and six months ended June 30, 2006.

Reprographics services. Net sales during the three months ended June 30, 2007, increased compared to the same period in 2006 by $18.7 million due to increased non-residential construction spending throughout the U.S., and the expansion of our market share through branch openings and acquisitions. We acquired five businesses during the three month period ended June 30, 2007, that had a primary focus on reprographics services. The Southern region and the Pacific Northwest reported strong sales increases due primarily to market strength. The Company’s Northeastern region also reported healthy sales gains assisted by the acquisition of MBC in the Baltimore-Washington D.C. area.
During the six months ended June 30, 2007, we acquired a total of six businesses, each with its primary focus on reprographics services. In addition to significant sales increases in the Southern, Pacific Northwest, and Northeastern region, Northern California also showed solid sales growth during the six months ended June 30, 2007.
Company-wide pricing remained at similar levels to the same period in 2006, indicating that revenue increases were due primarily to volume.
Facilities management . On-site or facilities management services continued to post solid dollar volume and period-over-period percentage gains in the three and six months ended June 30, 2007. Specifically, sales for the three months ended June 30, 2007, compared to the same period in 2006 increased by $4.3 million or 17.4%. Sales for the six months ended June 30, 2007 compared to the same period in 2006 increased $7.7 million or 16.2%. This revenue is derived from a single cost per square foot of printed material, similar to our “Reprographics Services” revenue. As convenience and speed continue to characterize our customers’ needs, and as printing equipment continues to become smaller and more affordable, the trend of placing equipment (and sometimes staff) in an architectural studio or construction company office remains strong as evidenced by an increase of approximately 590 facilities management contracts in the second quarter of 2007, bringing our total FM contracts to approximately 3,920. By placing such equipment on-site and billing on a per use and per project basis, the invoice continues to be issued by us, just as if the work were produced in one of our centralized production facilities. The resulting benefit is the convenience of on-site production with a pass-through or reimbursable cost of business that many customers continue to find attractive.
Equipment and supplies sales. During the three month period ended June 30, 2007, our equipment and supplies sales increased by 27.0% as compared to the same period in 2006.
In the six month period ending June 30, 2007, equipment and supply sales increased by 17.5%.

Table of Contents

In the early years of our facilities management sales programs, the service line made steady progress against the outright sale of equipment and supplies by converting such sales contracts to on-site service agreements. Acquisition activity in the past three years reversed this trend, as several of these new businesses possess a strong equipment and supplies business unit and more focus has been brought to bear on the evolving needs of our customers. Trends in smaller, less expensive and more convenient printing equipment are gaining popularity with customers who want the convenience of in-house production, but have no compelling reimbursable invoice volume to offset the cost of placing the equipment.
Gross Profit.
Our gross profit and gross profit margin was $74.8 million and 42.1% during the three months ended June 30, 2007, compared to $65.8 million and 43.4% during the same period in 2006, on sales growth of $26.3 million.
During the six month period ended June 30, 2006, gross profit margin increased to $142.6 million and 42.2% compared to $126.2 million and 43.2% for the six months ended June 30, 2006, on sales growth of $45.7 million.
Increases in revenues coupled with the fixed cost nature of some of our cost of goods sold expenses, such as machine cost, facility rent, and some elements of labor contributed to dollar volume increases in gross profit during the three and six months ended June 30, 2007. The slight drop in gross margins was primarily due to the fact that a significant portion of our sales increases during the three and six months ended June 30, 2007 were driven by acquisitions. Specifically, 2007 stand alone acquisitions negatively impacted the gross profit percentage for the three and six months ended June 30, 2007 by 80 and 50 basis points, respectively. Such acquisitions typically carry a lower gross profit margin than our existing operating divisions, and they therefore temporarily depress gross margins. Lower gross margins of new branch openings and fold in acquisitions also tend to depress gross margins temporarily.
Selling, General and Administrative Expenses.
Selling, general and administrative expenses increased by $1.4 million or 4.2% during the second quarter of 2007 over the same period in 2006.
Selling, general and administrative expenses increased by $4.1 million or 6.3% during the six months ended June 30, 2007 over the same period in 2006.
Increases during the three and six month period ended June 30, 2007, are primarily attributable to the increase in our sales volume during the same period. Specifically, expenses rose primarily due to increases in administrative and sales salaries and commissions of $2.4 million and $4.4 million that accompany the sales growth and an increase in stock based compensation expense of $0.4 million and $0.6 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2007, respectively. Additionally, in March 2007, the Company incurred expenses of approximately $0.5 million in connection with a secondary stock offering, primarily to facilitate the sale of shares owned by its former financial sponsors, Code Hennessy & Simmons LLC. Partially offsetting the increase in selling, general and administrative expense was a $3.3 million favorable settlement of two related lawsuits. Excluding costs related to that litigation, which included legal fees and accrued compensation payments related to the settlement, the settlement returned a $2.2 and $1.7 million benefit to the company for the three and six months ended June 30, 2007, respectively. For more information on the details of these lawsuits and settlement, please refer to footnote 8 “Commitments and Contingencies.”
Selling, general and administrative expenses, as a percentage of net sales decreased from 21.8% in the second quarter of 2006 to 19.4% in the second quarter of 2007 and from 22.1% in the six months ended June 30, 2006 to 20.3% in the same period in 2007 due to increases in sales, the fixed cost nature of some of these expenses in our existing operating divisions, and the financial benefit of the law suit settlement described above.

Litigation Reserve.
On July 28, 2006, a decision was rendered against us in the previously disclosed Louis Frey bankruptcy litigation in the United States Bankruptcy Court, Southern District of New York. The judge determined that damages should be awarded to the plaintiff in the amount of $11.06 million, interest expense of $2.28 million through June 30, 2006, and $0.20 million in preference claims. In accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), we accounted for the judgment by recording a one-time, non-recurring litigation charge of $13.54 million that includes a $11.26 million litigation reserve ($11.06 million in awarded damages and $0.20 million in preference claims), and interest expense of $2.28 million. These charges were offset by a corresponding tax benefit of $5.42 million, resulting in a net impact of $8.12 million to the net income during the three and six months ended June 30, 2006. This one-time, non-recurring litigation reserve of $11.26 million represents 7.4% and 3.9% of net sales for the three and six months ended June 30, 2006. For more information on the Louis Frey litigation, please refer to page 12 under “Commitments and Contingencies.”
Amortization of Intangibles.
Amortization of intangibles increased $1.6 million during the three months ended June 30, 2007, compared to the same period in 2006 primarily due to an increase in identified amortizable intangible assets such as customer relationships associated with acquired businesses since June 30, 2006. The three primary acquisitions causing the increase were the acquisition of Reliable Graphics in July of 2006, the acquisition of MBC Precision Imaging in March of 2007, and the acquisition of Imaging Technologies Services in April of 2007.
Amortization of intangibles increased $2.5 million during the six months ended June 30, 2006 for the same reasons discussed above.
Interest Expense, Net.
Net interest expense decreased to $6.6 million during the three months ended June 30, 2007, compared to $7.0 million during the same period in 2006 primarily due to the $2.3 million interest charge in 2006 related to the Louis Frey litigation reserve. Excluding the interest related to the Louis Frey litigation reserve, interest increased by $1.5 million. The increase of $1.5 million is primarily due to additional borrowings to finance acquisitions. Specifically, to finance acquisitions we borrowed $30 million from our term loan facility in July of 2006 and $50 million in April of 2007. Interest expense in the three months ended June 30, 2007, included $.2 million of interest expense related to the Louis Frey litigation reserve which continues to accrue interest as we pursue our appeal.
Net interest expense increased to $11.8 million during the six months ended June 30, 2007, compared to $11.4 million during the same period in 2006. Excluding the interest related to the Louis Frey litigation reserve, interest increased by $2.3 million primarily due to borrowings to finance acquisitions.
Income Taxes.
Our effective income tax rate decreased from 40.0% in the three and six months ended June 30, 2006 to 37.2% and 37.0% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2007, respectively. The decrease is primarily due to the Domestic Production Activities Deduction (DPAD) to be taken by us as allowed by Internal Revenue Code section 199 as enacted by the American Jobs Creation Act of 2004. A discrete item of $.7 million or 1.2% of pre-tax income, related to our 2006 DPAD is reflected in our effective income tax rate in the six months ended June 30, 2007. See note 7, Income Taxes, for further discussion.

Net income increased to $19.6 million during the three months ended June 30, 2007, compared to $8.4 million in the same period in 2006, primarily due to the 2006 Louis Frey litigation charge and increase in sales. During the six months ended June 30, 2007, net income increased to $36.5 million compared to $22.8 million in the same period in 2006, primarily due to the Louis Frey litigation charge and increase in sales.

EBITDA.
EBITDA margin increased to 26.9% during the three months ended June 30, 2007, compared to 18.1% during the same period in 2006 primarily due to the increase in sales, lower SG&A costs as a percent of sales for the quarter, and the Louis Frey Litigation charge in 2006. For a reconciliation of EBITDA to net income, please see “Non-GAAP Measures” above.
Impact of Inflation
Inflation has not had a significant effect on our operations. Price increases for raw materials such as paper typically have been, and we expect will continue to be, passed on to customers in the ordinary course of business.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Our principal sources of cash have been operations and borrowings under our bank credit facilities or debt agreements. Our historical uses of cash have been for acquisitions of reprographics businesses, payment of principal and interest on outstanding debt obligations, and capital expenditures. Supplemental information pertaining to our historical sources and uses of cash is presented as follows and should be read in conjunction with our consolidated statements of cash flows and notes thereto included elsewhere in this report.

Operating Activities
Net cash of $45.4 million provided by operating activities for the six months ended June 30, 2007, represents a year-over-year increase primarily related to an increase in net income of $6.4 million, excluding the Louis Frey charge and improved accounts receivable collections. This increase in operating cash flows was partially offset by 2006 income tax extension payments of $6.5 million that were accrued as of December 31, 2006, but paid in 2007. The cash flows from operating activities remained strong as evidenced by the fact that operating cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2007 represent $1 per diluted weighted average common shares outstanding or 13.4% of revenue. Net cash flows generated from operating activities in 2007 have and will be used to pay for acquisitions.
Investing Activities
Net cash of $91.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2007, used in investing activities primarily relates to the acquisition of businesses, and capital expenditures at all our operating divisions. Payments for businesses acquired, net of cash acquired and including other cash payments and earnout payments associated with acquisitions, amounted to $86.5 million during the six months ended June 30, 2007. Cash payments for capital expenditures totaled $5.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2007. Cash used in investing activities will vary depending on the timing and the size of acquisitions completed, and funds required to finance acquisitions will come from operating cash flows and additional borrowings.

Financing Activities
Net cash of $50.9 million provided by financing activities during the six months ended June 30, 2007, primarily relate to a borrowing of $18 million on our existing revolving credit facility and a $50 million borrowing from our term loan facility in order to facilitate the consummation of certain acquisitions. The proceeds from our borrowings were offset by scheduled payments of $14.3 million on our debt agreements and capital leases and a $5 million net pay down on our revolving credit facility. Also included in financing activities is a $1.5 million excess tax benefit related to stock options exercised during the six months ended June 30, 2007.
Our cash position, working capital, and debt obligations as of June 30, 2007, are shown below and should be read in conjunction with our consolidated balance sheets and notes thereto contained elsewhere in this report.
                 
    December 31,     June 30,

Total debt obligations
  $ 273,145     $ 349,130  
 
           
The increase of $4.2 million in working capital was primarily due to an increase in accounts receivable of $9.8 million, excluding the initial impact of acquisitions, resulting from improved sales performance, a $4.8 million increase in cash due to the timing of acquisitions and debt pay downs, a $3.3 million increase in other current assets related to a favorable litigation settlement, offset by an increase in short-term debt of $13 million related to the net borrowings under our existing revolving credit facility which was used to facilitate the consummation of an acquisition. To manage our working capital, we focus on our number of days outstanding to monitor accounts receivable, as receivables are our most significant element of working capital.
We believe that our cash flow provided by operations will be adequate to cover the next twelve months 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 credit facilities or the issuance of additional debt.
We continually evaluate potential acquisitions. Absent a compelling strategic reason, we target potential acquisitions that would be cash flow accretive within six months. Currently, we are not a party to any agreements, or engaged in any negotiations regarding a material acquisition . We expect to fund future acquisitions through cash flow provided by operations, additional borrowings, or the issuance of our equity. The extent to which we will be willing or able to use our equity or a mix of equity and cash payments to make acquisitions will depend on the market value of our shares from time to time, and the willingness of potential sellers to accept equity as full or partial payment.
Debt Obligations
Senior Secured Credit Facilities. In December 2005, the Company entered into a Second Amended and Restated Credit and Guaranty Agreement (the Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement). The Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement provided the Company a $310.6 million Senior Secured Credit Facility, comprised of a $280.6 million term loan facility and a $30 million revolving credit facility.
In July 2006, to finance an acquisition, the Company borrowed $30 million of the then available $50 million in its term loan facility. Subsequent to the borrowing, the Company entered into a First Amendment to Second Amended and Restated Credit and Guaranty Agreement (the First Amendment) in order to facilitate the consummation of certain proposed acquisitions. The First Amendment provided the Company with a $30 million increase to its Term Loan Facility, thus restoring availability of the term loan facility to $50 million.

Table of Contents

On April 27, 2007 the Company entered into a Second Amendment to Second Amended and Restated Credit and Guaranty Agreement (the Second Amendment) in order to facilitate the consummation of certain proposed acquisitions. In conjunction with the Second Amendment the Company borrowed $50 million from its Term Loan Facility in addition to amending certain other terms including the following:
    Eliminating the aggregate purchase price limitation for business acquisitions in favor of permitting the Company to incur New Term Loan Commitments at any time, subject to the achievement of a Leverage Ratio on a pro forma basis after giving effect to such New Term Loan Commitments of less than 3.00:1.00 (together with certain existing conditions);
 
    An increase in the threshold for capital lease obligations;
 
    An increase in the threshold for subordinated notes payable;
 
    An increase in the threshold for investments; and
 
    Elimination of capital lease obligations from the definition of Consolidated Capital Expenditures in conjunction with a reduction of the threshold for Consolidated Capital Expenditures.
Except as described above, all other material terms and conditions, including the maturity dates of the Company’s existing senior secured credit facilities, remained similar to those as described in Note 5-“Long Term Debt” to our consolidated financial statements included in our 2006 Annual Report on Form 10-K.
During the six months ended June 30, 2007, the Company made no payments, exclusive of contractually scheduled payments, on its senior secured credit facility.
Seller Notes. As of June 30, 2007, we had $22.1 million of seller notes outstanding, with interest rates ranging between 5% and 7.1% and maturities between 2009 and 2012. These notes were issued in connection with prior acquisitions.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
As of December 31, 2006 and June 30, 2007, we did not have any relationships with unconsolidated entities or financial partnerships, such as entities often referred to as structured finance or special purpose entities, which would have been established for the purpose of facilitating off-balance sheet arrangements or other contractually narrow or limited purposes.
Contractual Obligations and Other Commitments
Operating Leases. We have entered into various non-cancelable operating leases primarily related to facilities, equipment and vehicles used in the ordinary course of our business.
Contingent Transaction Consideration. We have entered into earnout agreements in connection with prior acquisitions. If the acquired businesses generate operating profits in excess of predetermined targets, we are obligated to make additional cash payments in accordance with the terms of such earnout agreements. As of June 30, 2007, we have potential future earnout obligations aggregating to approximately $8.8 million through 2010 if the operating profits exceed the predetermined targets. Earnout payments are recorded as additional purchase price (as goodwill) when the contingent payments are earned and become payable.
Autodesk Agreement . The agreement has annual minimum purchase requirements that as of June 30, 2007 the Company believes will be met.
FIN 48 Liability. As a result of the adoption of FIN 48, we have a $.9 million contingent liability for uncertain tax positions. We are not updating the disclosures in our long-term contractual obligations table presented in our 2006 Form 10-K because of the difficulty in making reasonably reliable estimates of the timing of cash settlements with the respective taxing authorities (see Note 7 to the Financial Statements for additional discussion).

Critical Accounting Policies
Our management prepares financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. When we prepare these financial statements, we are required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. On an on-going basis, we evaluate our estimates and judgments, including those related to accounts receivable, inventories, deferred tax assets, goodwill and intangible assets and long-lived assets. We base our estimates and judgments on historical experience and on various other factors that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for our judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.
For further information regarding the accounting policies that we believe to be critical accounting policies and that affect our more significant judgments and estimates used in preparing our consolidated financial statements see our December 31, 2006 Annual Report on Form 10-K. We do not believe that any of our acquisitions completed during 2007 or new accounting standards implemented during 2007 changed our critical accounting policies.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In March 2006, the consensus of Emerging Issue Task Force (“EITF”) Issue No. 06-3, “How Taxes Collected from Customers and Remitted to Governmental Authorities Should Be Presented in the Income Statement (That Is, Gross versus Net Presentation),” was published. The scope of this Issue includes any tax assessed by a government authority that is both imposed on and concurrent with a specific revenue-producing transaction between a seller and a customer, and may include, but is not limited to, sales, use, value-added, and some excise taxes. The scope of this Issue excludes tax schemes that are based on gross receipts and taxes that are imposed during the inventory procurement process. The Task Force reached a consensus that the presentation of such taxes on either a gross basis (included in revenues and costs), or net basis (excluded from revenues) is an accounting policy decision that should be disclosed. An entity is not required to reevaluate its existing policies related to taxes assessed by a governmental authority as a result of this consensus. In addition, for any such taxes that are reported on a gross basis, an entity should disclose the amounts of those taxes in interim and annual financial statements for each period for which an income statement is presented if those amounts are significant. The consensuses of this Issue should be applied for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2006. The adoption of this Issue has not had a significant impact on the Company’s results of operations and financial position, as the Company generally does not recognize taxes collected from customers and remitted to governmental authorities in the Company’s results of operations.
On July 13, 2006, the FASB issued Interpretation No. 48 (FIN 48) “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes: an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109.” This interpretation clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an entity’s financial statements in accordance with SFAS No. 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes.” FIN 48 prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement principles for financial statement disclosure of tax positions taken or expected to be taken on a tax return. The Company adopted the provision of this interpretation effective January 1, 2007. The adoption of FIN 48 did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position and results of operations. See Note 6, Income Taxes, for further discussion.
On September 15, 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, Fair Value Measurements. SFAS No. 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles and expands disclosure about fair value measurements. This Statement applies under other accounting pronouncements that require or permit fair value measurements, the FASB having previously concluded in those accounting pronouncements that fair value is the relevant measurement attribute. Accordingly, this Statement does not require any new fair value measurements. SFAS No. 157 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2007, or fiscal year 2008 for the Company. The Company is currently evaluating the impact, if any, the adoption of SFAS No. 157 will have on the Company’s consolidated financial position and 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 Statement No. 115 . SFAS No. 159 permits entities to choose to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair value. Unrealized gains and losses on items for which the fair value option has been elected will be recognized in earnings at each subsequent reporting date. SFAS No. 159 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007, which is the year beginning January 1, 2008 for the Company. The Company is evaluating the impact that the adoption of SFAS No. 159 will have on its consolidated results of operations and financial condition.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosure About Market Risk
Our primary exposure to market risk is interest rate risk associated with our debt instruments. We use both fixed and variable rate debt as sources of financing.
In March 2006, we entered into an interest rate collar agreement effective as of December 23, 2006, with a fixed notional amount of $76.7 million until December 23, 2007, which then decreases to $67.0 million until termination of the collar on December 23, 2008. The interest rate collar has a cap strike three month LIBOR rate of 5.50% and a floor strike three month LIBOR rate of 4.70%. At June 30, 2007, the interest rule collar agreement had a positive fair value of $12,000.
As of June 30, 2007, we had $349.1 million of total debt and capital lease obligations of which $277.5 million was bearing interest at variable rates approximating 7.1% on a weighted average basis. A 1.0% change in interest rates on our variable rate debt would have resulted in interest expense fluctuating by approximately $0.6 million and $1.2 million during the three and six months ended June 30, 2007.
We have not, and do not plan to, enter into any derivative financial instruments for trading or speculative purposes. As of June 30, 2007, we had no other significant material exposure to market risk, including foreign exchange risk and commodity risks.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures
Disclosure Controls and Procedures
We maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures.
Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer we conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) as of June 30, 2007. Based on that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that as of June 30, 2007, these disclosure controls and procedures were effective.
Changes in Internal Controls over Financial Reporting
On April 27, 2007, the Company acquired Imaging Technologies Services (ITS). In accordance, with SEC guidance, management has elected to exclude ITS from its 2007 assessment of and report on internal control over financial reporting. Under the criteria used by the Company, this acquisition constitutes a change in internal control over financial reporting that has materially affected or is reasonably likely to materially affect the Company’s internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended June 30, 2007. There were no other significant changes to internal controls over financial reporting during the second quarter ended June 30, 2007, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal controls over financial reporting.

PART II
Item 1. Legal Proceedings
Louis Frey Case. On August 16, 2006 a judgment was entered against the Company in the previously disclosed Louis Frey Company bankruptcy litigation in the United States Bankruptcy Court, Southern District of New York. The judgment awarded damages to the plaintiff in the principal amount of $11.1 million, interest, and $.2 million in preference claims. The Company continues to believe its position is meritorious, and commenced an appeal from the judgment in the United States District Court, Southern District of New York. On April 26, 2007 that court affirmed the judgment, and the Company filed an appeal from the judgment in the United States Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit. In accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), the Company accounted for the judgment by recording a one-time, non-recurring litigation charge of $14 million in 2006 that included a $11.3 million litigation reserve ($11.1 million in awarded damages and $.2 million in preference claims), and interest expense of $2.7 million. These charges were offset by a corresponding tax benefit of $5.6 million, resulting in a net impact of $8.4 million to net income in 2006. The Company has paid the $.2 million preference claim and has accrued an additional $.4 million for interest during the six months ended June 30, 2007. In order to stay the execution of the Louis Frey judgment pending appeal, the Company posted a bond in the United States Bankruptcy Court, Southern District of New York, collateralized by $7.5 million in cash which is recorded in restricted cash on the June 30, 2007 Balance Sheet.
Item 1A. Risk Factors
There have been no material changes to the risk factors disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2006.
Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds
Our senior secured credit facilities contain restrictive covenants which, among other things, provide limitations on capital expenditures, restrictions on indebtedness and dividend distributions to our stockholders. Additionally, we are required to meet debt covenants based on certain financial ratio thresholds, including minimum interest coverage, maximum leverage and minimum fixed charge coverage ratios. The credit facilities also limit our ability and the ability of our domestic subsidiaries to, among other things, incur liens, make certain investments, sell certain assets, engage in reorganizations or mergers, or change the character of our business. We are in compliance with all such covenants as of June 30, 2007.
Item 4. Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders

Exhibit 10.63
AMERICAN REPROGRAPHICS COMPANY
2005 STOCK PLAN
Amendment No. 1
Adopted: May 22, 2007
Effective May 22, 2007, the American Reprographics Company 2005 Stock Plan (the “Plan”) is amended as follows:
1.   Section 8 of the Plan, entitled “Non-Employee Directors’ Nonstatutory Stock Option Program,” in restated its entirety to read as follows:
  8.   Non-Employee Directors’ Restricted Stock Award Program.
Without any further action by the Board, automatic grants of Restricted Stock Awards will be made under the Plan in accordance with this Section 8 to Non-Employee Directors who meet the criteria specified in Section 8(a). All Restricted Stock Awards granted under this Section 8 will be in such form as may be approved by the Board, subject to the provisions of the Plan and Section 8.
(a) Non-Discretionary Grants. Without any further action of the Board, on the date of each Annual Meeting, commencing with the Annual Meeting in 2007, each person who is then a Non-Employee Director will be automatically granted a Restricted Stock Award for a number of shares of Common Stock having a then Fair Market Value equal to $60,000, which award will vest at a rate of 1/12 per month after the date of the Annual Meeting following the Non-Employee Director’s completion of Continuous Service.
(b) Restricted Stock Award Provisions. Each Restricted Stock Award granted under this Section 8 will include (through incorporation by reference in the Restricted Stock Award or otherwise) the substance of each of the provisions of Section 7(d).
2.   Section 2(u) of the Plan is restated in its entirety to read as follows:
(u) “ Fair Market Value” means, as of any date, the value of the Common Stock determined as follows:
(i) If the Common Stock is listed on any established stock exchange or traded on the New York Stock Exchange, the Fair Market Value of a share of Common Stock will be the closing sales price for such stock (or the closing bid, if no sales were reported) as quoted on such exchange (or the exchange or market with the greatest volume of trading in the Common Stock) on the day of determination, as reported in The Wall Street Journal or such other source as the Board deems reliable.
(ii) In the absence of such markets for the Common Stock, the Fair Market Value shall be determined by the Board in good faith.
