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 aerospace, 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.
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, 2008, are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2008.
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. 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. 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 2007 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 2007 Annual Report on Form 10-K, except for the adoption of SFAS 157, which is further described in Note 7, “Fair Value Measurements” and SFAS 159, which is further described in Note 12, “Recent Accounting Pronouncements”.
The year end consolidated balance sheet data was derived from audited financial statements but does not include all disclosures required by GAAP.
Reclassifications
The Company reclassified certain amounts in the prior year financial statements to conform to the current presentation. These reclassifications had no effect on the Consolidated Statement of Income, as previously reported. The Company reclassified $1,135, the long-term portion of the interest rate swap liability at December 31, 2007, from accrued expenses to other long-term liabilities, to conform to the current presentation. The reclassification on the cash flow statement consisted of identifying net borrowings (repayments) under the revolving credit facility separately from borrowings and repayments under long-term debt agreements, and identifying the allowance for doubtful accounts separately from other non-cash items.
2. Stock-Based Compensation
The American Reprographics Company 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, 2008, 2,538,393 shares remain available for grant under the Stock Plan.
In April, the Company made its regular annual stock option grants which consisted of 350,000 stock options to key employees with an exercise price equal to the fair market value. The stock options vest ratably over a period of five years and expire 10 years after the date of grant. The Company also issued shares of restricted common stock at the prevailing market price in the amount of $916,800 or 60,000 shares, to the Company’s CFO in April and $60,006, or 3,650 shares, to each of the five non-management board members in May. The shares of restricted stock issued to the Company’s CFO will vest on the fourth anniversary of the grant date; the shares of restricted stock granted to the non-management board members will vest one year from their grant date.

The impact of the stock based compensation to the Consolidated Statements of Income for the three months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007, before income taxes was $1.1 million and $1.0 million, respectively.
The impact of the stock based compensation to the Consolidated Statements of Income for the six months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007, before income taxes was $2.0 million and $1.6 million, respectively.
As of June 30, 2008, total unrecognized compensation cost related to unvested shares-based payments totaled $13.3 million and is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 3.4 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.
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. During the six months ended June 30, 2008, the Company issued 1,703 shares of its common stock to employees in accordance with the ESPP at a weighted average price of $14.85 per share, resulting in $25 thousand of cash proceeds to the Company.
4. Acquisitions
In the first six months of 2008 the Company acquired four U.S. and one Canadian reprographic companies, none of which individually or in the aggregate were material to the Company’s operations. The results of operations from these acquisitions are included in the Company’s Consolidated Statement of Income from their respective acquisition dates.
The unaudited pro forma results presented below include the effects of 2007 acquisitions as if they all had been consummated as of January 1, 2007. The pro-forma results include the amortization associated with the estimated value of acquired intangible assets and interest expense associated with debt used to fund the acquisition. However, pro forma results do not include any synergies or other expected benefits of the acquisition. Accordingly, the unaudited pro forma financial information below is not necessarily indicative of either future results of operations or results that might have been achieved had the acquisition been consummated as of January 1, 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, 2007 through June 30, 2008, are summarized as follows:
         
    Goodwill  
    (Dollars in thousands)  
 
       
Balance at December 31, 2007
  $ 382,519  
Additions
    5,443  
Translation adjustment
    (100 )
 
     
Balance at June 30, 2008
  $ 387,862  
 
     
The additions to goodwill include the excess purchase price over fair value of net assets acquired, purchase price adjustments, and certain earnout payments.
Other intangible assets that have finite lives are amortized over their useful lives. Intangible assets with finite useful lives consist primarily of non-compete agreements, trade names, and customer relationships and are amortized over the expected period of benefit which ranges from three 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 non-compete agreements are amortized using the straight-line method, consistent with the Company’s intent to continue to utilize acquired trade names in the future.
The following table sets forth the Company’s other intangible assets resulting from business acquisitions at June 30, 2008 and December 31, 2007, which continue to be amortized:

On December 6, 2007, the Company entered into a new Credit and Guaranty Agreement (Credit Agreement). The Credit Agreement provides for senior secured credit facilities aggregating up to $350 million, consisting of a $275 million term loan facility and a $75 million revolving credit facility. The Company used proceeds under the Credit Agreement in the amount of $289.4 million to extinguish in full all principal and interest payable under the Second Amended and Restated Credit and Guaranty Agreement.
Loans to the Company under the Credit Agreement will bear interest, at the Company’s option, at either the base rate, which is equal to the higher of the bank prime lending rate or the federal funds rate plus 0.5% or LIBOR, plus, in each case, the applicable rate. The applicable rate will be determined based upon the leverage ratio for the Company (as defined in the Credit Agreement), with a minimum and maximum applicable rate of 0.25% and 0.75%, respectively, for base rate loans and a minimum and maximum applicable rate of 1.25% and 1.75%, respectively, for LIBOR loans. During the continuation of certain events of default all amounts due under the Credit Agreement will bear interest at 2.0% above the rate otherwise applicable.
The Credit Agreement contains covenants which, among other things, require the Company to maintain a minimum interest coverage ratio of 2.25:1.00, minimum fixed charge coverage ratio of 1.10:1.00, and maximum leverage ratio of 3.00:1.00. The Credit Agreement also contains customary events of default, including failure to make payments when due under the Credit Agreement; payment default under and cross-default to other material indebtedness; breach of covenants; breach of representations and warranties; bankruptcy; material judgments; dissolution; ERISA events; change of control; invalidity of guarantees or security documents or repudiation by the Company of its obligations thereunder. The Credit Agreement is secured by substantially all of the assets of the Company.
In addition, under the revolving facility, the Company is required to pay a fee, on a quarterly basis, for the total unused commitment amount. This fee ranges from 0.30% to 0.50% based on the Company’s leverage ratio at the time. The Company may also draw upon this credit facility through letters of credit, which carries a fee of 0.25% of the outstanding letters of credit. The Credit Agreement allows the Company to borrow Incremental Term Loans to the extent the Company’s senior secured leverage ratio (as defined in the Credit Agreement) remains below 2.50.
All material terms and conditions, including the maturity dates of the Company’s existing senior secured credit facilities, remained the same as those described in Note 5, “Long Term Debt” to our consolidated financial statements included in our 2007 Annual Report on Form 10-K.
During the six months ended June 30, 2008, the Company paid $22.0 million, exclusive of contractually scheduled payments, on its senior secured revolving credit facility.

7. Fair Value Measurements
In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS 157 Fair Value Measurements , which is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. Relative to SFAS 157, the FASB issued FASB Staff Positions (FSP) 157-1 and 157-2. FSP 157-1 amends SFAS 157 to exclude SFAS No. 13, Accounting for Leases , and its related interpretive accounting pronouncements that address leasing transactions, while FSP 157-2 delays the effective date of the application of SFAS 157 to fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2008 for all nonfinancial assets and nonfinancial liabilities that are recognized or disclosed at fair value in the financial statements on a nonrecurring basis. The Company adopted SFAS 157 as of January 1, 2008, with the exception of the application of the statement to non-recurring nonfinancial assets and nonfinancial liabilities. Non-recurring nonfinancial assets and nonfinancial liabilities for which the Company has not applied the provisions of SFAS 157 include those measured at fair value in goodwill impairment testing, and those initially measured at fair value in a business combination.
SFAS 157 defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date, and establishes a framework for measuring fair value. SFAS 157 establishes a three-level valuation hierarchy for disclosure of fair value measurements. The valuation hierarchy is based upon the transparency of inputs to the valuation of an asset or liability as of the measurement date. The three levels are defined as follows:
Level 1 — inputs to the valuation methodology are quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets.
Level 2 — inputs to the valuation methodology include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, and inputs that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the financial instrument.
Level 3 — inputs to the valuation methodology are unobservable and significant to the fair value measurement.
SFAS 157 also expands disclosures about instruments measured at fair value.
The following table sets forth by level within the fair value hierarchy the Company’s financial assets and liabilities that were accounted for at fair value on a recurring basis as of June 30, 2008. As required by SFAS 157, financial assets and liabilities are classified in their entirety based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The Company’s assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement requires judgment, and may affect the valuation of fair value assets and liabilities and their placement within the fair value hierarchy levels.
                                 
    At Fair Value as of June 30, 2008  
    Quoted Prices in                    
    Active Markets for     Significant Other     Significant        
    Identical Liabilities     Observable Inputs     Unobservable Inputs        
    (Level 1)     (Level 2)     (Level 3)     Total  
    (Dollars in thousands)  
Recurring Fair Value Measures
                               
Interest rate swap
  $ 0     $ 1,604     $ 0     $ 1,604  
The interest rate swap contract is valued at fair value based on dealer quotes using a discounted cash flow model. This model reflects the contractual terms of the derivative instrument, including the period to maturity and debt repayment schedule, and market-based parameters such as interest rates and yield curves. This model does not require significant judgment, and the inputs are observable. Thus, the derivative instrument is classified within level 2 of the valuation hierarchy.
As of June 30, 2008, $536 of the $1,604 fair value of the interest rate swap was recorded as a current liability in accrued expenses, and $1,068 was recorded in other long-term liabilities. The Company does not intend to terminate the interest rate swap agreement prior to its expiration date of December 6, 2012.
8. 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 increased from 37.2% and 37.0% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2007, respectively, to 37.6% and 37.9% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2008, respectively. The increase is primarily due to a higher blended state tax rate and to a Domestic Production Activities Deduction (“DPAD”) in the Company’s consolidated federal income tax return for the 2006 tax year. A discrete item of $0.2 million and $0.7 million related to the 2006 DPAD was 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 claim the deduction for 2006 activities. The increase in the three months ended June 30, 2008 compared to the same period in 2007 was partially offset by a discrete item of $0.4 million related to an effectively settled tax position due to the closing of an income tax audit during the three months ended June 30, 2008.

9. Commitments and Contingencies
Operating Leases. The Company has entered into various non-cancelable operating leases primarily related to facilities, equipment and vehicles used in the ordinary course of business.
Contingent Transaction Consideration. The Company entered into earnout agreements in connection with prior acquisitions. If the acquired businesses generate sales and/or 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, 2008, the Company has potential future earnout obligations aggregating to approximately $7.5 million through 2010 if the sales and/or 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.
Chinese Joint Venture Agreement. The Company has entered into a joint venture agreement with Unisplendor Corporation Limited, a Chinese high-technology manufacturer and retailing company, to form a reprographics company in China. Upon approval of the joint venture by all applicable Chinese regulatory authorities, which the Company did not receive as of June 30, 2008, the joint venture will be formed. The Company has established a bank account in China and deposited $13.5 million in US dollars into the account. Such money is restricted for the formation of the joint venture, of which the Company will own a 65% controlling interest.
FIN 48 Liability. The Company has a $1.0 million contingent liability for uncertain tax positions as of June 30, 2008.
10. Comprehensive Income
The Company’s comprehensive income includes foreign currency translation adjustments, and change in the fair value of 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, 2008 and 2007 are as follows:
                                 
    Three Months Ended     Six Months Ended  
    June 30,     June 30,

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.
11. 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. Stock options totaling 1.5 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2008, were excluded from the calculation of diluted net income per common share because they were anti-dilutive. 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.

12. Recent Accounting Pronouncements
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. The Company adopted the required provisions of SFAS 157 that became effective in the first quarter of 2008. The adoption of these provisions did not have a material impact on the Consolidated Financial Statements. For further information about the adoption of the required provisions of SFAS 157 see Note 7.
In February 2008, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position No. FAS 157-2, Effective Date of FASB Statement No. 157 . FSP 157-2 delays the effective date of SFAS 157 for nonfinancial assets and nonfinancial liabilities, except for certain items that are recognized or disclosed at fair value in the financial statements on a recurring basis (at least annually). The Company is currently evaluating the impact of SFAS 157 on the Consolidated Financial Statements for items within the scope of FSP 157-2, which will become effective beginning with the first quarter of 2009.
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. The Company has not elected the fair value option for any of its eligible financial assets or liabilities.
In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141R (revised 2007), Business Combinations , which replaces SFAS No 141. SFAS 141R establishes the principles and requirements for how an acquirer: (i) recognizes and measures in its financial statements the identifiable assets acquired, the liabilities assumed, and any noncontrolling interest in the acquiree; (ii) recognizes and measures the goodwill acquired in the business combination or a gain from a bargain purchase; and (iii) determines what information to disclose to enable users of the financial statements to evaluate the nature and financial effects of the business combination. SFAS 141R makes some significant changes to existing accounting practices for acquisitions. SFAS 141R is to be applied prospectively to business combinations consummated on or after the beginning of the first annual reporting period on or after December 15, 2008. The Company is currently evaluating the impact SFAS 141R will have on its future business combinations.
In December 2007, the FASB issued Statement No. 160, Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements — an Amendment of ARB No. 51 . SFAS 160 establishes accounting and reporting standards that require: (i) noncontrolling interests to be reported as a component of equity; (ii) changes in a parent’s ownership interest while the parent retains its controlling interest to be accounted for as equity transactions, and (iii) any retained noncontrolling equity investment upon the deconsolidation of a subsidiary to be initially measured at fair value. The Company does not currently have any less than wholly-owned consolidated subsidiaries. SFAS 160 is to be applied prospectively at the beginning of the first annual reporting period on or after December 15, 2008. The Company will implement the new standard effective in fiscal 2009.
In March 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 161, Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities — an amendment of FASB Statement No. 133 . This Standard requires enhanced disclosures regarding derivatives and hedging activities, including: (a) the manner in which an entity uses derivative instruments; (b) the manner in which derivative instruments and related hedged items are accounted for under SFAS No. 133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities ; and (c) the effect of derivative instruments and related hedged items on an entity’s financial position, financial performance, and cash flows. SFAS 161 will become effective beginning with the first quarter of 2009. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this standard on its Consolidated Financial Statements.

In April 2008, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position No. FAS 142-3, Determination of the Useful Life of Intangible Assets . FSP 142-3 amends the factors that should be considered in developing renewal or extension assumptions used to determine the useful life of a recognized intangible asset under SFAS No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets . FSP 142-3 is effective for calendar-year companies beginning January 1, 2009. The requirement for determining useful lives must be applied prospectively to intangible assets acquired after the effective date and the disclosure requirements must be applied prospectively to all intangible assets recognized as of, and subsequent to, the effective date. The Company is currently assessing the potential impacts of implementing this standard.
In May 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 162, The Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles . This standard reorganizes the GAAP hierarchy in order to improve financial reporting by providing a consistent framework for determining what accounting principles should be used when preparing U.S. GAAP financial statements. SFAS 162 shall be effective 60 days after the SEC’s approval of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board’s amendments to Interim Auditing Standard, AU Section 411, The Meaning of Present Fairly in Conformity with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles. The Company is currently evaluating the impact, if any, this new standard may have on its Consolidated Financial Statements.
In June 2008, the FASB issued FSP EITF No. 03-6-1, Determining Whether Instruments Granted in Share-Based Payment Transactions Are Participating Securities. The FSP addresses whether instruments granted in share-based payment transactions are participating securities prior to vesting and therefore need to be included in the earnings allocation in calculating earnings per share under the two-class method described in SFAS No. 128, Earnings per Share. The FSP requires companies to treat unvested share-based payment awards that have non-forfeitable rights to dividend or dividend equivalents as a separate class of securities in calculating earnings per share. The FSP is effective for calendar-year companies beginning January 1, 2009. The Company is currently assessing the potential impacts of implementing this standard.

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 980 sales and customer service employees interacting with our customers every day, and more than 5,100 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 more than 140,000 companies throughout North America.
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” program.

A significant component of our growth has been from acquisitions. In the first six months of 2008, we paid $5.3 million in connection with five new business acquisitions. In 2007, we acquired 19 businesses for $146.3 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, EBIT, EBITDA 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 2007 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;
 
    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 generated 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.

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, 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. We estimate that sales to the AEC market accounted for 80% of our net sales, with the remaining 20% consisting of sales to non-AEC markets (based on a compilation of approximately 80% of revenues from our divisions and designating revenues using certain assumptions as derived from either AEC or non-AEC based customers). As a result, our operating results and financial condition can be significantly affected by economic factors that influence the AEC industry, such as non-residential and residential construction spending, GDP growth, interest rates, employment rates, office vacancy rates, and government expenditures. Similar to the AEC industry, the reprographics industry typically lags a recovery in the broader 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. Amortization does not include $1.1 million and $1.0 million of stock based compensation expense, for the three months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively and $2.0 million and $1.6 million of stock based compensation expense, for the six months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively. EBIT margin is a non-GAAP measure calculated by dividing EBIT 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 approximately 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.

Table of Contents

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 2007 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Net Sales.
Net sales increased by 4.0% for the three months ended June 30, 2008, compared to the three months ended June 30, 2007. Net sales increased by 10.2% for the six months ended June 30, 2008 compared to the same period in 2007.
In the three months ended June 30, 2008, net sales increase was primarily due to sales growth of 8.8% from our standalone acquisitions acquired in 2007. This increase in net sales for the period was offset, however, by lower sales performance in our existing divisions primarily due to the softening economy and a general slow down in the construction market.
In the six months ended June 30, 2008, net sales increase was primarily due to our standalone acquisitions acquired in 2007 as they contributed approximately 11.7% to our sales growth and new sales acquired through our Premier Accounts program. The increase in sales due to standalone acquisitions was partially offset by a drop in sales as explained above.
Reprographics services. Net sales during the three and six months ended June 30, 2008, increased by $5.9 million and $28.7 million, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2007, due primarily to the expansion of our market share through acquisitions, and an increase in our digital sales. We acquired 19 businesses at various times throughout the year in 2007, and five businesses in the first six months of 2008 each with a primary focus on reprographics services. These acquired businesses added sales from their preexisting customers to our own, and in some cases, also allowed us to aggregate regional work from larger clients. Our Premier Accounts program also added significant new sales, contributing more than $1.0 million and $4.5 million of revenue from new non-AEC customers in the three and six months ended June 30, 2008, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2007. Overall reprographics services sales nationwide were negatively affected by the general softness in the economy and slow down in the construction market, which partially offset the sales increases described above. The largest impact affecting reprographics services sales was the decrease in our Southern California region reprographics services sales of approximately $3.5 million and $5.6 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2008, respectively, resulting primarily from the downturn in residential construction in Southern California.
While most of our customers in the AEC industry still prefer paper plans, we have seen an increase in our digital service revenue, presumably due to the greater efficiency digital document workflows bring to our customers’ businesses, but also due to greater consistency in the way that we charge for these services as they become more widely accepted throughout the construction industry. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2008 digital services revenue increased by $3.3 million and $7.8 million, respectively, over the same periods in 2007.
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, 2008. Specifically, sales for the three months ended June 30, 2008, compared to the same period in 2007 increased by $2.2 million or 7.6%. Sales for the six months ended June 30, 2008, compared to the same period in 2007 increased by $5.5 million or 9.9%. FM 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 250 and 500 facilities management accounts during the three and six months ended June 30, 2008, respectively, bringing our total FM accounts to approximately 5,100 as of June 30, 2008. 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 was 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. We believe this service segment will continue to have strong sales growth in the foreseeable future.
Equipment and supplies sales. During the three month period ended June 30, 2008, our equipment and supplies sales decreased by $1.0 million or 6.5% as compared to the same period in 2007. In the six month period ending June 30, 2008, equipment and supplies sales increased slightly by $0.3 million or 1.0% as compared to the same period in 2007. Several of our recent acquisitions possess an equipment and supplies business unit. Specifically, standalone acquisitions completed since March 31, 2007 have contributed approximately $2.2 million and $4.6 million to the increase in equipment and supplies sales for the three and six months ended June 30, 2008, respectively, which were offset by a decrease in existing divisions’ equipment and supplies sales. The facilities management sales programs have made steady progress against the outright sale of equipment and supplies by converting such sales contracts to on-site service accounts. Excluding the impact of acquisitions, we do not anticipate growth in equipment and supplies sales as we are placing more focus on facilities management sales programs.
Gross Profit.
Our gross profit and gross profit margin was $79.1 million and 42.8% during the three months ended June 30, 2008, compared to $74.8 million and 42.1% during the same period in 2007, on sales growth of $7.1 million.
During the six month period ended June 30, 2008, gross profit and gross profit margin increased to $158.7 million and 42.6%, compared to $142.6 million and 42.2% during the same period in 2007, on sales growth of $34.4 million.

The increase in revenue explained above was the primary factor for the dollar volume increase in gross profit during the three and six months ended June 30, 2008. Comparing the three and six months ended June 30, 2008 with the same periods last year, gross margins were favorably impacted by approximately 140 and 115 basis points, respectively, due to a change in the product mix, price increases, and production efficiencies. Specifically, higher margin digital sales and lower margin equipment and supply sales comprised 7.8% and 7.9%, respectively, of total sales for the three months ended June 30, 2008 compared to 6.2% and 8.7%, respectively, for the same period in 2007. For the six months ended June 30, 2008 digital sales and equipment and supply sales comprised 7.5% and 8.0%, respectively, of total sales compared to 5.9% and 8.8%, respectively, for the same period in 2007. The increase in gross margins was partly offset by the significant portion of our sales increases that were driven by acquisitions which carry lower gross margins than existing operating divisions. Until our typical performance standards can be applied, such acquisitions temporarily depress gross margins, as do new branch openings and fold-in acquisitions. Standalone acquisitions completed after March 31, 2007 negatively impacted the gross profit margins for the three and six months ended June 30, 2008 by approximately 70 and 75 basis points, respectively.
Selling, General and Administrative Expenses.
Selling, general and administrative expenses increased by $5.0 million or 14.5% during the second quarter of 2008 over the same period in 2007.
Selling, general and administrative expenses increased by $10.3 million or 15.0% during the six months ended June 30, 2008 over the same period in 2007.
Increases during the three and six month period ended June 30, 2008, are primarily attributable to the increase in our sales explained above. Specifically, expenses increased in administrative and sales salaries and commissions of $1.0 million and $4.2 million that accompanied the sales growth and an increase in stock based compensation expense of $0.1 million and $0.5 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2008, respectively. Additionally, during the three and six months ended June 30, 2008 compared to the same period in 2007 we incurred an increase in bad debt expenses of approximately $0.6 million and $1.5 million, respectively, primarily related to the recent financial concerns regarding some of our home builder customers and some general customers. Also contributing to the increase in selling, general and administrative expense was a $3.3 million favorable settlement of two related lawsuits in the second quarter of 2007. Excluding costs related to that litigation, which included legal fees and compensation payments related to the settlement, the settlement returned a $2.2 million 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 Note 7 “Commitments and Contingencies” to our consolidated financial statements included in our 2007 Annual Report on Form 10-K.
Selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of net sales increased from 19.4% in the second quarter of 2007 to 21.4% in the second quarter of 2008 and from 20.3% in the six months ended June 30, 2007 to 21.2% in the same period in 2008 primarily due to the financial benefit in 2007 of the law suit settlement described above.
Amortization of Intangibles.
Amortization of intangibles increased $0.3 million during the three months ended June 30, 2008, compared to the same period in 2007 primarily due to an increase in identified amortizable intangible assets such as customer relationships and trade names associated with the acquisition of NGI USA in December of 2007.
Amortization of intangibles increased $1.8 million during the six months ended June 30, 2008 for the same reasons discussed above in addition to having a full six months impact of amortization related to the acquisition of MBC Precision Imaging which was acquired in March of 2007, and Imaging Technologies Services which was acquired in April of 2007.
Other Income.
Other income of $0.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2008 is primarily related to the sale of the Autodesk sales department of our Imaging Technologies Services operating segment. The Autodesk sales department was sold in February of 2008 for $0.4 million and resulted in a gain of $0.2 million.
Interest Expense, Net.
Net interest expense remained consistent at $6.6 million during the three months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007. For the six months ended June 30, 2008 compared to the same period in 2007, interest expense increased by $1.9 million primarily due to additional borrowings to finance acquisitions and additional capital leases. Specifically, we borrowed $18.0 million and $50.0 million to finance the acquisitions of MBC Precision Imaging and Imaging Technology Services in March 2007 and April 2007, respectively.

Income Taxes.
Our effective income tax rate increased from 37.2% and 37.0% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2007, respectively, to 37.6% and 37.9% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2008, respectively. The increase is primarily due to a higher blended state tax rate and to a Domestic Production Activities Deduction (“DPAD”) in our consolidated federal income tax return for the 2006 tax year. A discrete item of $0.2 million and $0.7 million related to the 2006 DPAD was reflected in the effective income tax rate in the three and six months ended June 30, 2007, respectively, due to our ability to claim the deduction for 2006 activities. The increase in the three months ended June 30, 2008 compared to the same period in 2007 was partially offset by a discrete item of $0.4 million related to an effectively settled tax position due to the closing of an income tax audit during the three months ended June 30, 2008.
Net Income.
Net income decreased to $18.9 million during the three months ended June 30, 2008, compared to $19.6 million in the same period in 2007, primarily due to the fact that 2007 second quarter results included a benefit of $1.4 million, net of taxes, related to a favorable settlement of two related lawsuits described above. During the six months ended June 30, 2008, net income increased $0.9 million to $37.4 million compared to $36.5 million for the same period in 2007 primarily due to net profits generated from the increase in sales, and the improved gross margin percentage, partially offset by the favorable settlement of two related lawsuits in the second quarter of 2007.
EBITDA.
EBITDA margin was 26.5% and 26.4% during the three and six months ended June 30, 2008, respectively, compared to 26.9% and 26.1% during the same periods in 2007. The EBITDA margins for the three and six months ended June 30, 2008 compared to the same periods in 2007 were positively impacted by the improved gross margin percentages, but negatively affected by the 2007 settlement benefit further described in Selling, General and Administrative Expenses.
Impact of Inflation
Inflation has not had a significant effect on our operations. Price increases for raw materials such as paper and fuel charges 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 provided by operating activities for the six months ended June 30, 2008 primarily related to net income of $37.4 million. Our cash flows from operations are mainly driven by sales and net profit generated from these sales. Our increase in cash flows from operations in 2008 compared to the same period in 2007 was mainly due to our 10.2% increase in sales that were driven by acquisitions and our improved gross margins. Specifically, 2007 stand-alone acquisitions since March 31, 2007 contributed approximately $9.0 million to operating cash flows in 2008. Our days sales outstanding remained consistent at 50 days as of June 30, 2008, as compared to 50 days as of December 31, 2007. As sales volumes are typically low in the fourth quarter and ramp up in the first quarter and second quarter, we expect cash flows from operations as a percentage of sales to continue to improve in the coming quarters.

Investing Activities
Net cash of $21.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2008, used in investing activities primarily relates to restricted cash of $13.5 million restricted for the formation of our Joint Venture with Unisplendor in China. Also impacting cash flows from investing activities is 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 $5.5 million during the six months ended June 30, 2008. Cash payments for capital expenditures totaled $4.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2008. Cash used in investing activities will vary depending on the timing and the size of acquisitions and joint ventures completed, and funds required to finance our business expansion will come from operating cash flows and additional borrowings.
Financing Activities
Net cash of $47.8 million used in financing activities during the six months ended June 30, 2008, primarily relates to scheduled payments of $25.3 million on our debt agreements and capital leases and a $22.0 million pay down on our revolving credit facility. The timing and amount outstanding in our revolving credit agreement will typically depend on the timing and size of acquisitions consummated.
Our cash position, working capital, and debt obligations as of June 30, 2008, and December 31, 2007 are shown below and should be read in conjunction with our consolidated balance sheets and notes thereto contained elsewhere in this report.

The increase of $28.9 million in working capital was primarily due to our 2008 cash flows from operations, that were partially used to pay down our $22.0 million revolving credit facility and a $3.8 million increase in receivables that was driven by our sales growth. 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, and additional borrowings. 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. On December 6, 2007, we entered into a new Credit and Guaranty Agreement (Credit Agreement). The Credit Agreement provides for senior secured credit facilities aggregating up to $350 million, consisting of a $275 million term loan facility and a $75 million revolving credit facility. We used proceeds under the Credit Agreement in the amount of $289.4 million to prepay in full all principal and interest payable under the Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement.
On December 19, 2007, we entered into an interest rate swap transaction (“Swap Transaction”) in order to hedge the floating interest rate risk on our long term variable rate debt. Under the terms of the Swap Transaction, we are required to make quarterly fixed rate payments to the counterparty calculated based on an initial notional amount of $271.6 million at a fixed rate of 4.1%, while the counterparty is obligated to make quarterly floating rate payments to us based on the three month LIBO rate. The notional amount of the interest rate swap is scheduled to decline over the term of the term loan facility consistent with the scheduled principal payments. The Swap Transaction has an effective date of March 31, 2008 and a termination date of December 6, 2012. At June 30, 2008, the interest rate swap agreement had a negative fair value of $1.6 million of which $0.5 million was recorded in accrued expenses and $1.1 million was recorded in other long-term liabilities.

Loans to us under the Credit Agreement will bear interest, at our option, at either i) the base rate, which is equal to the higher of the bank prime lending rate or the federal funds rate plus 0.5% or ii) LIBOR, plus, in each case, the applicable rate. The applicable rate will be determined based upon the leverage ratio for us (as defined in the Credit Agreement), with a minimum and maximum applicable rate of 0.25% and 0.75%, respectively, for base rate loans and a minimum and maximum applicable rate of 1.25% and 1.75%, respectively, for LIBOR loans. During the continuation of certain events of default, all amounts due under the Credit Agreement will bear interest at 2.0% above the rate otherwise applicable.
The Credit Agreement contains covenants which, among other things, require us to maintain a minimum interest coverage ratio of 2.25:1.00, minimum fixed charge coverage ratio of 1.10:1.00 and maximum leverage ratio of 3.00:1.00. The Credit Agreement also contains customary events of default, including failure to make payments when due under the Credit Agreement; payment default under, and cross-default to other, material indebtedness; breach of covenants; breach of representations and warranties; bankruptcy; material judgments; dissolution; ERISA events; change of control; invalidity of guarantees or security documents or repudiation by us of our obligations thereunder. Our Credit Agreement is secured by substantially all of the assets of the Company.
Term loans are amortized over the term with the final payment due on December 6, 2012. Amounts borrowed under the revolving credit facility must be repaid by December 6, 2012. Outstanding obligations under the Credit Agreement may be prepaid in whole or in part without premium or penalty.
In addition, under the revolving facility, we are required to pay a fee, on a quarterly basis, for the total unused commitment amount. This fee ranges from 0.30% to 0.50% based on our leverage ratio at the time. We may also draw upon this credit facility through letters of credit, which carries a fee of 0.25% of the outstanding letters of credit. Our Credit Agreement allows us to borrow under incremental term loans to the extent our senior secured leverage ratio (as defined in the Credit Agreement) remains below 2.50.
All material terms and conditions, including the maturity dates of the Company’s existing senior secured credit facilities, remained the same as those as described in Note 5, “Long Term Debt” to our consolidated financial statements included in our 2007 Annual Report on Form 10-K.
During the six months ended June 30, 2008, we paid $22.0 million, exclusive of contractually scheduled payments, on its senior secured revolving credit facility.
Seller Notes. As of June 30, 2008, we had $33.4 million of seller notes outstanding, with a weighted average interest rate of 6.3% and maturities through June 2012. These notes were issued in connection with acquisitions.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
As of June 30, 2008 and December 31, 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 sales and/or 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, 2008, we have potential future earnout obligations aggregating to approximately $7.5 million through 2010 if the sales and/or 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.
Chinese Joint Venture Agreement. We have entered into a joint venture agreement with Unisplendor Corporation Limited, a Chinese high-technology manufacturer and retailing company, to form a reprographics company in China. Upon approval of the joint venture by all applicable Chinese regulatory authorities, which we did not receive as of June 30, 2008, the joint venture will be formed. We have established a bank account in China and deposited $13.5 million in US dollars into the account. Such money is restricted for the formation of the joint venture, of which we will own a 65% controlling interest.
FIN 48 Liability. We have a $1.0 million contingent liability for uncertain tax positions.

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, 2007 Annual Report on Form 10-K. We do not believe that any of our acquisitions completed during 2008 or new accounting standards implemented during 2008 changed our critical accounting policies, except for the adoption of SFAS 157, which is further described in Note 7, “Fair Value Measurements” and SFAS 159, which is further described in Note 12, “Recent Accounting Pronouncements”.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
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. We adopted the required provisions of SFAS 157 that became effective in our first quarter of 2008. The adoption of these provisions did not have a material impact on our Consolidated Financial Statements. For further information about the adoption of the required provisions of SFAS 157 see Note 7, “Fair Value Measurements” for further discussion.
In February 2008, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position No. FAS 157-2, Effective Date of FASB Statement No. 157. FSP 157-2 delays the effective date of SFAS 157 for nonfinancial assets and nonfinancial liabilities, except for certain items that are recognized or disclosed at fair value in the financial statements on a recurring basis (at least annually). We are currently evaluating the impact of SFAS 157 on our Consolidated Financial Statements for items within the scope of FSP 157-2, which will become effective beginning with our first quarter of 2009.
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. We have not elected the fair value option for any of our eligible financial assets or liabilities.
In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141R (revised 2007), Business Combinations, which replaces SFAS No 141. SFAS 141R establishes the principles and requirements for how an acquirer: (i) recognizes and measures in its financial statements the identifiable assets acquired, the liabilities assumed, and any noncontrolling interest in the acquiree; (ii) recognizes and measures the goodwill acquired in the business combination or a gain from a bargain purchase; and (iii) determines what information to disclose to enable users of the financial statements to evaluate the nature and financial effects of the business combination. SFAS 141R makes some significant changes to existing accounting practices for acquisitions. SFAS 141R is to be applied prospectively to business combinations consummated on or after the beginning of the first annual reporting period on or after December 15, 2008. We are currently evaluating the impact SFAS 141R will have on our future business combinations. In December 2007, the FASB issued Statement No. 160, Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements — an Amendment of ARB No. 51 . SFAS 160 establishes accounting and reporting standards that require: (i) noncontrolling interests to be reported as a component of equity; (ii) changes in a parent’s ownership interest while the parent retains its controlling interest to be accounted for as equity transactions, and (iii) any retained noncontrolling equity investment upon the deconsolidation of a subsidiary to be initially measured at fair value. We do not currently have any less than wholly-owned consolidated subsidiaries. SFAS 160 is to be applied prospectively at the beginning of the first annual reporting period on or after December 15, 2008. We will implement the new standard effective in fiscal 2009.

SFAS 160 is to be applied prospectively at the beginning of the first annual reporting period on or after December 15, 2008. We will implement the new standard effective in fiscal 2009.
In March 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 161, Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities — an amendment of FASB Statement No. 133 . This Standard requires enhanced disclosures regarding derivatives and hedging activities, including: (a) the manner in which an entity uses derivative instruments; (b) the manner in which derivative instruments and related hedged items are accounted for under Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities ; and (c) the effect of derivative instruments and related hedged items on an entity’s financial position, financial performance, and cash flows. SFAS 161 will become effective beginning with our first quarter of 2009. Early adoption is permitted. We are currently evaluating the impact of this standard on our Consolidated Financial Statements.
In April 2008, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position No. FAS 142-3, Determination of the Useful Life of Intangible Assets. FSP 142-3 amends the factors that should be considered in developing renewal or extension assumptions used to determine the useful life of a recognized intangible asset under SFAS No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets. FSP 142-3 is effective for calendar-year companies beginning January 1, 2009. The requirement for determining useful lives must be applied prospectively to intangible assets acquired after the effective date and the disclosure requirements must be applied prospectively to all intangible assets recognized as of, and subsequent to, the effective date. We are currently assessing the potential impacts of implementing this standard.
In May 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 162, The Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles. This standard reorganizes the GAAP hierarchy in order to improve financial reporting by providing a consistent framework for determining what accounting principles should be used when preparing U.S. GAAP financial statements. SFAS 162 shall be effective 60 days after the SEC’s approval of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board’s amendments to Interim Auditing Standard, AU Section 411, The Meaning of Present Fairly in Conformity with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles. We are currently evaluating the impact, if any, this new standard may have on our Consolidated Financial Statements.
In June 2008, the FASB issued FSP EITF No. 03-6-1, Determining Whether Instruments Granted in Share-Based Payment Transactions Are Participating Securities. The FSP addresses whether instruments granted in share-based payment transactions are participating securities prior to vesting and therefore need to be included in the earnings allocation in calculating earnings per share under the two-class method described in SFAS No. 128, Earnings per Share. The FSP requires companies to treat unvested share-based payment awards that have non-forfeitable rights to dividend or dividend equivalents as a separate class of securities in calculating earnings per share. The FSP is effective for calendar-year companies beginning January 1, 2009. We are currently assessing the potential impacts of implementing this standard.

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.
On December 19, 2007, we entered into an interest rate swap transaction (“Swap Transaction”) in order to hedge the floating interest rate risk on our long term variable rate debt. Under the terms of the Swap Transaction, we are required to make quarterly fixed rate payments to the counterparty calculated based on an initial notional amount of $271.6 million at a fixed rate of 4.1%, while the counterparty is obligated to make quarterly floating rate payments to us based on the three month LIBO rate. The notional amount of the interest rate swap is scheduled to decline over the term of the term loan facility consistent with the scheduled principal payments. The Swap Transaction has an effective date of March 31, 2008 and a termination date of December 6, 2012. At June 30, 2008, the interest rate swap agreement had a negative fair value of $1.6 million of which $0.5 million was recorded in accrued expenses and $1.1 million was recorded in other long-term liabilities.
As of June 30, 2008, we had $363.1 million of total debt and capital lease obligations, none of which bore interest at variable rates.
We have not, and do not plan to, enter into any derivative financial instruments for trading or speculative purposes. As of June 30, 2008, 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, 2008. Based on that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that as of June 30, 2008, these disclosure controls and procedures were effective.
Changes in Internal Controls over Financial Reporting
There were no significant changes to internal controls over financial reporting during the second quarter ended June 30, 2008, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal controls over financial reporting.

Exhibit 10.1
FIRST AMENDMENT TO EXECUTIVE EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT
This First Amendment to Employment Agreement is entered into by and between American Reprographics Company, a Delaware corporation (“ AR C”) as the employer, and Jonathan R. Mather , an individual residing in the State of California (“ Executive ”), as the employee, on April 17, 2008.
This First Amendment is entered into with reference to the following facts:
ARC and Executive entered into an Executive Employment Agreement dated November 29, 2006 (“Agreement”), under which Executive is employed as Chief Financial Officer of ARC. The parties now wish to enter into this First Amendment to amend the Agreement.
Now therefore, the parties agree as follows:
1. All capitalized terms in this First Amendment not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed to them in the Agreement.
2. Section 2 of the Agreement (“Term”) is amended to replace “the third (3rd) anniversary of the Effective Date” with “March 31, 2012.”
3. Section 3(a) of the Agreement (“Base Salary”) is amended to replace “$360,000” with “$375,000.”
4. Section 3(b) of the Agreement (“Incentive Bonus”) is amended to replace “an amount equal to sixty percent (60%) of Executive’s Base Salary per year” with “an amount equal to eighty percent (80%) of Executive’s Base Salary per year.” Section 3(b) is further amended to add the following:
The Incentive Bonus payable to Executive, if any, for each fiscal year during the term of this Agreement, commencing with the fiscal year ending December 31, 2008, shall be increased or decreased, as the case may be, by the percentage by which ARC’s annual earnings per share, on a fully diluted basis and as reported pursuant to the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (“EPS”), is greater than the highest EPS first publicly forecasted by ARC for the applicable fiscal year, or less than the lowest EPS first publicly forecasted by ARC for the applicable fiscal year. For example, if ARC’s first public EPS forecast is a range of $1.52 to $1.60, and EPS for that year is $1.76, the Incentive Bonus payable to Executive, if any, shall be increased by ten percent (10%), and if EPS for that year is $1.36, the Incentive Bonus Payable to Executive, if any, shall be decreased by ten percent (10%).

 

 


 

5. Section 5 of the Agreement (“Stock Plans”) is amended to add the following:
Executive shall additionally be granted an award of sixty thousand (60,000) restricted shares of ARC’s common stock, subject to the terms and conditions of ARC’s customary form of Restricted Stock Option Agreement, with one hundred percent (100%) of the restricted shares vesting on the fourth anniversary of the date of grant, provided that one hundred percent (100%) of the restricted shares shall immediately become vested prior to such fourth anniversary in the event of: (a) Executive’s death, (b) Executive becoming Permanently Disabled, (c) termination of the Agreement by ARC without Cause, or (d) termination of the Agreement by Executive with Good Reason.
6. Section 11(c)(i) of the Agreement (“Termination by ARC without Cause; Termination by Executive with Good Reason”) is amended to replace “nine (9) months” with “twelve (12) months.”
7. In all other respects the Agreement remains in full force and effect without modification.

5. Section 3(b) of the Agreement (“Incentive Bonus”) is amended to delete the first sentence in its entirety and to add the following:
During the term of this Agreement, Executive shall be eligible to receive an annual Incentive Bonus (“Incentive Bonus”) in an amount equal to eighty percent (80%) of Executive’s Base Salary per year upon successful completion of all performance objectives and technology deliverables established by ARC’s CEO, in consultation with Executive (“Technology Development Plan”). The Technology Development Plan shall be revised and updated at least quarterly by ARC’s CEO, in order to reflect ARC’s then-current technology priorities.

 

 


 

Section 3(b) of the Agreement is further amended to add the following:
The Incentive Bonus payable to Executive, if any, for each fiscal year during the term of this Agreement, commencing with the fiscal year ending December 31, 2008, shall be increased or decreased, as the case may be, by the percentage by which ARC’s annual earnings per share, on a fully diluted basis and as reported pursuant to the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (“EPS”), is greater than the highest EPS first publicly forecasted by ARC for the applicable fiscal year, or less than the lowest EPS first publicly forecasted by ARC for the applicable fiscal year.

This Consulting Agreement (“Agreement”), effective July 24, 2008 (“Effective Date”), is made by and between American Reprographics Company, a Delaware corporation, (the “Company”), and Sathiyamurthy Chandramohan (“Consultant”).
WHEREAS, the Company and Consultant desire that Consultant provide professional services to the Company as provided below, commencing upon the Effective Date.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the promises and of the covenants set forth below, the parties hereto agree as follows:
1.  Consulting Services . Consultant will render consulting services on strategic matters to the Company’s board of directors (collectively, the “Consulting Services”), as the Company’s board of directors may from time to time direct.
2.  Term . The term of this Agreement shall commence July 24, 2008 and continue though and including June 30, 2010 (the “Consulting Period”).
3.  Time Commitment . The Company acknowledges that Consultant has other clients and that, except where the nature of the Consulting Services requires that they be performed at specific times, Consultant is free to choose the specific times at which the Consulting Services will be performed; provided, however, that Consultant shall devote sufficient time to the Consulting Services to complete them within the time frames agreed by Consultant and the Company.
4.  Consulting Fees . In consideration of performance of the Consulting Services pursuant to Section 1 above, Consultant shall be paid an annual fee in the sum of $325,000 during the Consulting Period, which fee shall be payable in monthly increments in the amount of $27,083.33 each month, payable on the last business day of each month during the Consulting Period, in accordance with the Company’s normal payment procedures (“Consulting Fees”). Consultant shall be responsible for the payment of all taxes in connection with the Consulting Fees imposed by any taxing authority, and will indemnify the Company from any liability in connection with any assessment, penalty or interest as a result of any determination by any taxing authority that such amounts should have been withheld from payments to Consultant.
5.  Independent Contractor . It is understood that, during the Consulting Period, Consultant shall be an independent contractor and not an employee of the Company, and that this Agreement is not an employment agreement. Consultant shall not be deemed to be an agent, partner or joint venturer of the Company during the Consulting Period, and the Company shall not exercise any control or supervision with respect to Consultant’s services.

 

 


 

6.  No Conflicts . Consultant represents and warrants that (a) Consultant is not bound by, and will not enter into, any oral or written agreement with another party that conflicts in any way with Consultant’s obligations under this Agreement; and (b) Consultant’s agreement and performance under this Agreement do not require consent or approval of any person that has not already been obtained.
7.  Restrictive Covenants . Consultant acknowledges that (a) Consultant’s consultancy duties will bring Consultant in close contact with certain confidential affairs and trade secrets of the Company, its subsidiaries and affiliates (collectively, the “ARC Group”) not readily available to the public; (b) the agreements and covenants of Consultant contained in Sections 7(a) and (b) below are essential to the goodwill and business of the ARC Group; and (c) the Company would not have entered into this Agreement but for the agreements and covenants of Consultant contained in such sections. Accordingly, as an inducement for the Company to enter into this Agreement, Consultant agrees that:
(a)  Confidential Information . During the Consulting Period and thereafter, Consultant shall continue to keep secret and retain in strictest confidence, and shall not use for its benefit or the benefit of others, except in connection with the business and affairs of the ARC Group, all confidential information or trade secrets of the ARC Group including, without limitation, information with respect to (i) potential acquisitions, (ii) sales figures, (iii) profit or loss figures, and (iv) customers, clients, suppliers, sources of supply and customer lists (collectively, “Confidential Information”) and shall not disclose the Confidential Information to anyone outside of the ARC Group except with the express written consent of the Company and except for Confidential Information which is at the time of receipt or thereafter becomes publicly known through no wrongful act of Consultant. Consultant shall deliver to the Company upon the termination of its consultancy or at any other time the Company may request, all memoranda, notes, plans, records, reports, computer discs, software and other documents and data in any tangible media (and copies thereof) relating to the Confidential Information, Work Product (as defined below) or the business of the ARC Group which Consultant was provided during the Consulting Period and which Consultant may then possess or have under its control.
(b)  Work Product . All inventions, innovations, improvements, developments, methods, which relate to the ARC Group’s actual or anticipated business, research and development or existing or future products or services and which are conceived, developed or made by Consultant while a consultant to the Company (collectively, “Work Product”) belong to the Company. Consultant shall promptly disclose such Work Product to the Company and perform all actions requested by the Company (whether during or after the term) to establish and confirm such ownership (including, without limitation, assignments, consents, powers of attorney and other instruments). Consultant acknowledges and agrees that upon expiration or termination of this Agreement, or at the request of the Company from time to time, Consultant shall deliver all Work Product in its possession to the Company.
Consultant agrees that the covenants contained in this Section 7 are necessary and reasonable in order to protect the Company in the conduct of its business and protect the Company’s goodwill, and are entered into in consideration for the Company entering into and performing under this Agreement.

The Company and Consultant intend that each of the above restrictions in this Section 7 is to be completely severable and independent of each other, and any invalidity or unenforceability of any one or more of such restrictions shall not render invalid or unenforceable any one or more of the other restrictions.
8.  Injunctive Relief . Consultant specifically recognizes that any breach of Section 7 will cause irreparable injury to the Company and that actual damages may be difficult to ascertain, and in any event, may be inadequate. Accordingly (and without limiting the availability of legal or equitable, including injunctive, remedies under any other provisions of this Agreement), Consultant agrees that in the event of any such breach, the Company shall be entitled to injunctive relief in addition to such other legal and equitable remedies that may be available.
9.  Survival . Consultant agrees that the provisions in Section 7 will survive the termination or expiration of this Agreement.
10.  Modification . In the event that any covenant set forth in Section 7 is deemed void or unenforceable by a court for any reason, it is the parties’ intent that the court will modify the covenant so as to make it valid and enforceable.
11.  Assignability of Agreement . The rights and duties of the parties hereunder shall not be assignable, except that the Company may assign this Agreement and all rights and obligations hereunder to any corporation or other business entity which succeeds to all or substantially all of the business of the Company through merger, consolidation, corporate reorganization or by acquisition of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company provided that the corporation or other business entity assumes the obligations of the Company hereunder; provided, further, however, that such assignment shall not relieve the Company of its obligations hereunder.
12.  Integration . This Agreement contains the entire agreement between the parties and supersedes all prior oral and written agreements, understandings, commitments and practices between the parties, including any prior employment agreements, whether or not fully performed before the date of this Agreement; provided, however, that the post-employment covenants contained in the Consultant’s Employment Agreement with the Company which has now terminated shall remain in effect to the extent they are consistent with and not superseded by this Agreement such that in the event of any conflict the terms of this Agreement will prevail. No amendments to this Agreement may be made except by a writing signed by both parties.
13.  Litigation . In the event legal action is brought to enforce any of the provisions of this Agreement or for any breach thereof, reasonable attorneys’ fees shall be awarded to the prevailing party or parties in said action.
