CADMUS COMMUNICATIONS CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
1. | The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of Cadmus Communications Corporation and Subsidiaries (the “Company”) have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial reporting and with applicable quarterly reporting regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. They do not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements and, accordingly, should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and related footnotes included in the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2006. |
In the opinion of management, all normal recurring adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation of interim financial information have been included. The results of operations for the period ended December 31, 2006 are not necessarily indicative of results for the entire fiscal year.
Certain previously reported amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation.
On December 26, 2006, the Company entered into an agreement of merger, dated as of December 26, 2006 (the “Merger Agreement”) with Cenveo, Inc. (“Cenveo”) and Mouse Acquisition Corp. (“Mouse Acquisition Corp.”), an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of Cenveo, pursuant to which Mouse Acquisition Corp. will be merged with and into the Company (the “Merger”), with the Company being the surviving entity in the Merger as an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of Cenveo.
Under the terms and subject to the conditions of the Merger Agreement, at the effective time of the Merger, each issued and outstanding share of the Company’s common stock will be converted into the right to receive $24.75 per share in cash, without interest thereon.
The Company and Cenveo have made customary representations, warranties and covenants in the Merger Agreement. In the Merger Agreement, the Company has covenanted not to solicit alternative transactions or, subject to certain exceptions, to enter into discussions concerning, or provide confidential information in connection with, an alternative transaction. Consummation of the Merger is subject to a number of customary conditions, including, among others, approval by the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of the Company’s common stock. Approximately 21% of the outstanding common stock of the Company is subject to voting agreements which require such shares to be voted in favor of the Merger.
The Merger Agreement contains certain termination rights for both the Company and Cenveo, and further provides that if the Merger Agreement is terminated under certain circumstances, including in order for the Company to pursue an offer from another party that is deemed by its board of directors in good faith to be superior or if a transaction with a third party relating to an alternative business combination is entered into or consummated within 12 months of termination, the Company will pay Cenveo a termination fee of $8.375 million plus reimbursement of Cenveo’s transaction expenses of up to $500,000.
Pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement, the Company is not permitted to declare or pay dividends to common stockholders prior to the effective time of the Merger.
The Merger is expected to be consummated during the Company’s third quarter ending March 31, 2007.
2. | In September 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued SFAS No. 157, Fair Value Measurements (“SFAS 157”), which defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. SFAS 157 is first effective for the Company’s fiscal year ending June 30, 2008. Management is currently evaluating the impact that the adoption of this statement will have on the Company’s consolidated financial position and results of operations. |
In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 158, Employer’s Accounting for Defined Benefit Pension and Other Postretirement Plans (an amendment of FASB Statements No. 87, 88, 106, and 132R) (“SFAS 158”). SFAS 158 requires an employer to recognize the funded status of each of its defined pension and postretirement benefit plans as a net asset or liability in its statement of financial position with an offsetting amount in accumulated other comprehensive income, and to recognize changes in that funded status in the year in which changes occur through comprehensive income. This requirement is effective for the Company’s June 30, 2007 year-end. The provisions of SFAS 158 are to be applied on a prospective basis;
7
therefore, prior periods presented will not be restated. Management is currently evaluating the impact that the adoption of this statement will have on the Company’s consolidated financial position and results of operations.
Additionally, SFAS 158 requires an employer to measure the funded status of each of its plans as of the date of its year-end statement of financial position. This provision is effective for the Company’s June 30, 2008 year-end. The funded status of the Company’s pension and other postretirement benefit plans are currently measured as of March 31.
In July 2006, the FASB issued Interpretation No. 48 (“FIN 48”), Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes, which clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in the financial statements in accordance with FASB Statement No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes. FIN 48 provides guidance on financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. It also provides guidance on derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure and transition. FIN 48 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006. Management is currently evaluating the impact that the adoption of FIN 48 will have on the Company’s consolidated financial position and results of operations.
In September 2006, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission released Staff Accounting Bulletin 108 (“SAB 108”), which provides interpretive guidance on how the effects of the carryover or reversal of prior year misstatements should be considered in quantifying a current year misstatement. SAB 108 requires registrants to quantify misstatements using both the balance-sheet and income-statement approaches and to evaluate whether either approach results in quantifying an error that is material in light of relevant quantitative and qualitative factors. SAB 108 does not change the staff’s previous guidance in SAB 99 on evaluating the materiality of misstatements. When the effect of initial adoption is determined to be material, SAB 108 allows registrants to record that effect as a cumulative-effect adjustment to beginning-of-year retained earnings. The requirements are effective for the Company’s fiscal year ending June 30, 2007. The adoption of SAB 108 had no impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.
3. | In the fourth quarter of fiscal 2005, the Company initiated a comprehensive equipment replacement and consolidation plan to its Publisher Services print platform and Specialty Packaging capabilities. This plan is designed to replace certain older, less efficient presses with state-of-the-art and more efficient presses, to add certain needed capacity, and to permit the further rationalization of domestic manufacturing capacity. In connection with this plan, the Company recorded a net charge of $0.2 million for the three months ended December 31, 2006 and a benefit of $0.1 million for the six months ended December 31, 2006, for costs associated with consolidating locations and assets disposed of during the second quarter of fiscal 2007, partially offset by proceeds from the sale of certain equipment and a reduction in previously recorded restructuring reserves for one-time termination benefits. The Company incurred charges of $0.7 million and $1.4 million for the three and six months ended December 31, 2005, respectively, related to severance expenses, costs to consolidate and recognize facilities, and impairment charges of equipment to be replaced. These charges and benefits were primarily related to the Publisher Services segment and are classified as restructuring and other charges in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. The estimated total restructuring costs pursuant to this plan include (i) one-time termination benefits of $1.4 million, (ii) contract termination costs in the range of $0.2 million to $0.3 million, and (iii) costs to consolidate and reorganize facilities in the range of $2.1 million to $2.2 million. All activities in connection with this plan are expected to be completed during the third quarter of fiscal 2007. |
In the second quarter of fiscal 2006, costs associated with certain discontinued merger and acquisition activities in the amount of $0.8 million were charged to restructuring and other charges in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.
At December 31, 2006 and June 30, 2006, the restructuring liability was $0.1 million and $1.5 million, respectively, primarily related to one-time termination benefits and is included in accrued expenses and other current liabilities in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.
The Company incurred merger-related costs of approximately $2.6 million during the quarter ended December 31, 2006 consisting primarily of financial advisory and professional fees. Approximately $2.4 million of these costs were included in accrued expenses as of December 31, 2006.
4. | On June 29, 2006 the Company entered into a joint venture agreement with Periscope, Inc. (“Periscope”), a Minneapolis based graphic services and creative agency, for the purpose of integrating Specialty Packaging’s global packaging network with Periscope’s design and pre-press capabilities to provide an end-to-end worldwide print management solution (the “Joint Venture”). Effective December 31, 2006, the Company and Periscope entered into a termination agreement that, among other things, provides for the termination of the business activities of the Joint Venture and an orderly liquidation of its assets and liabilities. The Joint Venture was structured as a 50/50 arrangement between Cadmus and Periscope with equal equity, board |
8
| membership and other attributes. Accordingly, the Joint Venture is accounted for by the Company under the equity method. The equity in losses of the Joint Venture was essentially break-even and $0.2 million for the three and six months ended December 31, 2006, respectively. As of December 31, 2006, advances to the Joint Venture were approximately $0.8 million. |
5. | During the second and third quarters of fiscal 2006, the Company participated in the Pre-Filing Agreement program (“PFA”) with the Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) to review its third quarter fiscal 2005 transaction with Mack Printing Company (“Mack transaction”) to determine the amount and character of the allowable loss to be reported on its federal income tax return for the year ended June 30, 2005. In culmination of the PFA process, the Company and the IRS executed a closing agreement on March 28, 2006 providing specific guidance for the recognition of an ordinary loss deduction to be reported by the Company on its June 30, 2005 federal tax return. Based on the Company’s resolution with the IRS and as a result of reporting the Mack transaction benefit on its June 30, 2005 federal tax return filed on March 15, 2006, the Company recorded an $8.5 million tax benefit for the quarter ended March 31, 2006. This $8.5 million tax benefit is incremental to the $5.0 million benefit recorded in the quarter ended March 31, 2005. As a result of the resolution with the IRS, the Company expects to realize a total net cash benefit of $37.4 million. The Company received $11.8 million in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2006 and $2.6 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2007 and expects to utilize the balance in future years as a reduction to income taxes otherwise payable on future income earned. |
The Company’s effective income tax rate was negative (41.6%) for the second quarter of fiscal 2007, compared to 37.9% for the second quarter of fiscal 2006. The Company’s effective tax rate was negative (46.7%) for the six months ended December 31, 2006, compared to 35.9% for the six months ended December 31, 2005. The Company’s effective tax rate differs from the expected income tax expense calculated by application of the federal statutory rate primarily due to (i) the impact from certain permanent book-to-tax differences, including $2.6 million of non-deductible merger-related costs recorded in the second quarter of fiscal 2007, (ii) the impact of state income taxes, and (iii) operating results from foreign operations.
6. | Basic earnings per share is computed on the basis of weighted-average common shares outstanding from the date of issue. Diluted earnings per share is computed on the basis of weighted-average common shares outstanding plus common shares contingently issuable upon the exercise of stock options, except when their effect would be anti-dilutive. Incremental shares for dilutive stock options (computed under the treasury stock method) were 245,000 and 242,000 for the three and six months ended December 31, 2005, respectively. For the three and six months ended December 31, 2006 weighted average basic and diluted loss per share is the same since the effect of issuing shares for the exercise of stock options would be anti-dilutive. |

The interest rate spreads for the Company’s senior bank credit facility range from 2.25% to 3.00% for LIBOR loans and from 1.00% to 1.75% for prime rate loans. The commitment fee rate ranges from 0.375% to 0.625%. Applicable interest rate spreads and commitment fees paid by the Company will fluctuate, within the ranges above, based upon the Company’s performance as measured by the total leverage ratio. At December 31, 2006, the interest rates on the Company’s borrowings under its senior bank credit facility ranged from 8.35% to 10.00%. These interest rates are based on spreads of 3.00% for LIBOR loans and 1.75% for prime rate loans. The senior bank credit facility requires the Company to pay unused commitment fees with respect to the revolving credit facility based on the total leverage ratio; such fee was 0.625% at December 31, 2006.
Both the senior bank credit facility and the senior subordinated notes contain a covenant that places restrictions on the ability of the Company to pay dividends. The Company’s ability to pay dividends under the senior bank credit facility is governed by the fixed charge coverage ratio. At December 31, 2006, the Company’s fixed charge coverage ratio was 1.86 to 1.0, compared to a covenant that the ratio must exceed 1.20 to 1.0; therefore, the Company had sufficient coverage to pay expected dividends. The senior subordinated notes permit dividends of up to $3.0 million per fiscal year and a computation for a restricted payments pool out of which additional dividends may be paid. The balance of the restricted payments pool is increased based on net income, cash proceeds from the issuance of stock and cash proceeds from the receipt of equity contributions, and is reduced based on payment of dividends or other restricted payments. The Company may continue to pay dividends up to $3.0 million per fiscal year or to the extent there is a positive balance in the restricted payments pool in excess of the scheduled dividend. At December 31, 2006, the Company’s $3.0 million limit per year and the restricted payments pool were sufficient to cover expected dividends and, therefore, the Company was not impacted by the limitation of this covenant. However, pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement, the Company is not permitted to declare or pay dividends to common stockholders prior to the effective time of the Merger.
The Company completed an amendment to its senior bank credit facility effective December 31, 2006, which modified: (1) the total leverage ratio and senior leverage ratio covenants, (2) the definition of consolidated net income, and (3) under certain circumstances, the Company’s ability to execute an acquisition of certain assets and operations in an amount not to exceed $10 million (see Note 13). If the Company completes the acquisition during specified time periods, additional definitions and terms in the senior bank credit facility are modified, including the definitions of “applicable margin” and “rate determination date”.
In accordance with the senior bank credit facility, limitations are placed on the Company’s ability to execute acquisitions, other than the acquisition specifically provided for in the amendment effective as of December 31, 2006 (see Note 13), and repurchase stock based on the total leverage ratio which is computed from time to time. Based on the total leverage ratio computed as of December 31, 2006, the Company is prohibited from executing acquisitions, other than as noted above, or repurchasing stock without consent from the lenders or until such time as the total leverage ratio declines as required in the senior bank credit facility.
At December 31, 2006, there were approximately $60.2 million in borrowings outstanding under the senior bank credit facility and approximately $2.6 million of standby letters of credit outstanding against which no claims had been made. Based upon the borrowing base computation included in the senior bank credit facility, the Company’s total available borrowings were limited to approximately $86.9 million. Therefore, the Company’s revolving credit availability was approximately $24.1 million at
December 31, 2006.
10
Effective October 2, 2006, the total commitment under the Company’s senior bank credit facility was reduced from $100.0 million to $98.1 million in connection with a mandatory reduction in the commitment in an amount equal to the net disposition proceeds received from the sale of the Company’s Ephrata, Pennsylvania real estate as part of the equipment replacement and consolidation plan.
In September 2005, two of the Company’s subsidiaries entered into two senior, unsecured term loan agreements to finance the purchase of certain manufacturing equipment from Heidelberg related to the Company’s equipment replacement and consolidation plan. Each of these loans is unconditionally guaranteed by the Company. The total outstanding amount under these amortizing, fully-drawn term loans was approximately $12.2 million at December 31, 2006. The interest rate spreads for these senior term loans is 0.45% above six-month LIBOR. The senior term loans required the Company to pay an unused commitment fee of 0.375% with respect to the undrawn portion of the loans prior to the loans being fully drawn. At December 31, 2006, the interest rates on the Company’s borrowings under these senior term loans ranged from 5.8% to 5.9%. The term for one of the term loans is 8 years, repayable in 16 equal, consecutive, semi-annual installments payable on each November 12 and May 12, which began November 12, 2006 and are scheduled to end on November 12, 2013, with an initial payment due and paid on July 3, 2006. The amount outstanding on this term loan was $8.7 million as of December 31, 2006. The term for the second term loan is 6 years, repayable in 12 equal, consecutive, semi-annual installments payable on each October 16 and April 16, which began October 16, 2006, and are scheduled to end on October 16, 2011, with an initial payment due and paid on June 1, 2006. The amount outstanding on this term loan was $3.5 million as of December 31, 2006.
9. | At December 31, 2006, the Company had three fixed-to-floating fair value interest rate swap agreements outstanding with a total notional amount of $40.0 million. These swaps were entered into to convert $40.0 million of the Company’s 8.375% senior subordinated notes due in 2014 to floating rate debt. The initial term of these swap agreements expires in 2014, and the counterparties have an option to terminate the agreements beginning in June 2009. Under the swap agreements, the Company receives interest payments at a fixed rate of 8.375% and pays interest at a variable rate that is based on six-month LIBOR plus a spread. The six-month LIBOR rate is reset each December 15 and June 15. These swap agreements are an effective hedge. The fair value of the Company’s interest rate swap agreements, based on a mark-to-market basis, was a liability of $0.5 million and $1.7 million at December 31, 2006 and June 30, 2006, respectively, which is recorded in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets in other liabilities with an offset in long-term debt in accordance with SFAS No. 133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities. The Company’s strategy to effectively convert fixed rate financing to variable rate financing through the use of swap agreements resulted in an increase of interest expense of $0.1 million and a reduction of interest expense of $0.2 million for the three-month periods ended December 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively, and an increase of $0.1 million and a reduction of $0.3 million for the six-month periods ended December 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively. |
10. | The Company is focused on two segments. The Publisher Services segment provides products and services to both not-for-profit and commercial publishers in three primary product lines: scientific, technical and medical (“STM”) journals, special interest and trade magazines, and books and directories. Publisher Services provides a full range of content management, editorial, prepress, printing, reprinting, warehousing and distribution services. Specialty Packaging provides high quality specialty packaging and promotional printing, assembly, fulfillment and distribution services to consumer product companies, healthcare companies and other customers. |
The accounting policies for the segments conform to those described in Note 1 “Significant Accounting Policies” to the Consolidated Financial Statements in the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2006. The Company primarily evaluates the performance of its operating segments based on operating income, excluding restructuring and other charges. Intergroup sales are not significant. The Company manages income taxes on a consolidated basis.

11. | During the fourth quarter of fiscal 2004, the Company adopted the fair value recognition provisions of SFAS No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation, under the prospective method described in SFAS No. 148, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation – Transition and Disclosure. This transition method requires recognition of compensation expense based on the fair value at the date of grant for awards issued after the date of adoption. Effective July 1, 2005, the Company adopted SFAS No. 123 (R), Share-Based Payment which replaced SFAS No. 123. The new standard requires public companies to treat stock options and all other forms of share-based payments to employees as compensation costs in the income statement; however, the approach is similar to the guidance set forth in SFAS No. 123. The adoption of SFAS No. 123 (R) had no impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements for the three or six months ended December 31, 2005. |
On November 10, 2004, the Company’s shareholders approved the 2004 Key Employee Stock Compensation Plan, replacing the 1990 Stock Compensation Plan which expired on June 30, 2003. On November 10, 2004, the Human Resources and Compensation Committee of the Company’s Board of Directors adopted two 2005-2007 long term incentive subplans (“LTIPs”) under the 2004 Key Employee Stock Compensation Plan, and pursuant to these LTIPs authorized the grant of
12
performance-based restricted stock and performance units. The restricted stock and performance units tentatively vest over the period from October 1, 2004 to June 30, 2007 if certain earnings per share targets are met. Vesting of the restricted stock and performance units is generally subject to continued employment through the date of the Human Resources and Compensation Committee’s final determination of vesting during the first four months of fiscal 2008. The restricted stock and performance units also may vest in whole or in part upon satisfaction of certain performance criteria in case of death, disability, retirement, termination by the Company without cause, termination by an employee for good reason under an employment agreement, or change in control. Compensation expense will be recognized on a straight-line basis over the vesting period based on the estimated number of shares and performance units that will ultimately vest. No compensation expense was recognized for the six months ended December 31, 2006 and December 31, 2005 because no compensation has been earned under the criteria of this plan at this time. Partial vesting of the restricted stock will occur pursuant to change in control provisions upon consummation of the Merger as described in Note 1.
On November 10, 2004, the Company’s shareholders approved the 2004 Non-Employee Director Stock Compensation Plan. Under this plan, which provides for the automatic grant of 1,000 options for common stock to each non-employee director serving on each November 15 from 2004 to 2008, a total of 60,000 options for common stock may be issued. These options vest six months from the grant date and are exercisable up to ten years from issuance.

ITEM 2. | MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS |
GENERAL
Headquartered in Richmond, Virginia, Cadmus Communications Corporation and Subsidiaries (“Cadmus” or the “Company”) provides end-to-end, integrated graphic communications and content processing services to professional publishers, not-for-profit societies and corporations. Cadmus provides a wide range of technology-enabled content management, composition, editorial, prepress, printing, article reprints, digital rights management, and fulfillment and distribution services. Cadmus is the world’s largest provider of content management and production services to scientific, technical and medical (“STM”) journal publishers, the fifth largest periodicals printer in North America, and a leading provider of specialty packaging and promotional printing services.
The Company is focused on two segments. The Publisher Services segment provides products and services to both not-for-profit and commercial publishers in three primary product lines: STM journals, special interest and trade magazines, and books and directories. Publisher Services provides a full range of content management, editorial, prepress, printing, reprinting, warehousing and distribution services. Specialty Packaging provides high quality specialty packaging and promotional printing, assembly, fulfillment and distribution services to consumer product companies, healthcare companies and other customers.
On December 26, 2006, the Company entered into an agreement of merger, dated as of December 26, 2006 (the “Merger Agreement”) with Cenveo, Inc. (“Cenveo”) and Mouse Acquisition Corp. (“Mouse Acquisition Corp.”), an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of Cenveo, pursuant to which Mouse Acquisition Corp. will be merged with and into the Company (the “Merger”), with the Company being the surviving entity in the Merger as an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of Cenveo.
Under the terms and subject to the conditions of the Merger Agreement, at the effective time of the Merger, each issued and outstanding share of the Company’s common stock will be converted into the right to receive $24.75 per share in cash, without interest thereon.
The Company and Cenveo have made customary representations, warranties and covenants in the Merger Agreement. In the Merger Agreement, the Company has covenanted not to solicit alternative transactions or, subject to certain exceptions, to enter into discussions concerning, or provide confidential information in connection with, an alternative transaction. Consummation of the Merger is subject to a number of customary conditions, including, among others, approval by the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of the Company’s common stock. Approximately 21% of the outstanding common stock of the Company is subject to voting agreements which require such shares to be voted in favor of the Merger.
The Merger Agreement contains certain termination rights for both the Company and Cenveo, and further provides that if the Merger Agreement is terminated under certain circumstances, including in order for the Company to pursue an offer from another party that is deemed by its board of directors in good faith to be superior or if a transaction with a third party relating to an alternative business combination is entered into or consummated within 12 months of termination, the Company will pay Cenveo a termination fee of $8.375 million plus reimbursement of Cenveo’s transaction expenses of up to $500,000.
Pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement, the Company is not permitted to declare or pay dividends to common stockholders prior to the effective time of the Merger.
The Merger is expected to be consummated during the Company’s third quarter ending March 31, 2007.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The Company focuses primarily on niche markets where it sees underlying demand strength, a willingness on the part of customers to outsource non-core activities, and relatively few large and well-positioned competitors. More specifically, the Company has focused on providing outsourced publisher services (both content processing and printing) for the scholarly publishing, educational and other markets. The Company has a leading position in the STM market and delivers customized content processing services using state-of-the-art technologies, in addition to traditional print services. The Company has continued to invest in opportunities in the educational and government services markets and in the proprietary technology products known as Emerging Solutions.
15
The Company’s Specialty Packaging segment has achieved growth and improved financial performance in recent years as a result of focusing on growth markets that benefit from the customized package design and production services the Company offers, particularly in the healthcare, consumer products and telecommunications markets as well as the expansion of its global network. The Company’s U.S. packaging facility is both ISO-9001:2000 registered and has passed customer cGMP compliance audits as evidence of the high level of quality delivered to our customers. The Specialty Packaging segment has also differentiated itself by developing a proprietary network of offshore production affiliates, known as Global Packaging Solutions, and by linking those operations and its customers via a proprietary inventory management and fulfillment system.
In June 2005, the Company initiated a comprehensive equipment replacement and consolidation plan to its Publisher Services print platform and Specialty Packaging capabilities. The plan is designed to continue to grow the Company’s position in its target publishing markets, to sustain the growth generated in its Specialty Packaging segment, to retire older and less efficient press equipment, and to more aggressively rationalize capacity across its manufacturing platform. In connection with this equipment replacement and consolidation plan, the Company is expanding and renovating several other facilities to accommodate new equipment, to permit improved work flows, and to facilitate the rationalization of similar work currently performed at multiple sites. The Company spent approximately $58.2 million in capital expenditures in fiscal 2006, the majority of which related to this plan. An additional $5.1 million in capital expenditures in the first six months of fiscal 2007 were also related to this plan. Equipment delivery delays and operational inefficiencies from the implementation of the equipment replacement and consolidation plan adversely affected the Company’s operational and financial performance in the third and fourth quarters of fiscal 2006. In particular, cost of sales was negatively impacted by equipment integration and facility consolidation activities and additional costs were incurred as a result of off-loaded work from the affected sites to other sites to meet customers’ schedules. Although the equipment integration and consolidation activities continued through the first six months of fiscal 2007, significant progress was made toward the completion of the plan, operational efficiencies improved and off-loaded work decreased, resulting in improved financial performance. It is expected that the equipment upgrades and the expansion of facilities will be substantially complete during the third quarter of fiscal 2007. Management believes that once fully implemented, the plan will enhance the Company’s overall competitiveness and create significant long-term value for its shareholders.
In fiscal 2006, the Company purchased the remaining interest in KnowledgeWorks Global Limited (“KGL”) from Datamatics Technologies Limited, with whom the Company had operated a joint venture in India since fiscal 2003. KGL provides a full range of content processing, content management and related services to STM, scholarly and educational publishers and other organizations on a global basis. The Company believes KGL provides the ability to continue to grow its services to the STM and educational markets and expand its offshore outsourcing opportunities.
On June 29, 2006 the Company entered into a joint venture agreement with Periscope, Inc. (“Periscope”), a Minneapolis based graphic services and creative agency, for the purpose of integrating Specialty Packaging’s global packaging network with Periscope’s design and pre-press capabilities to provide an end-to-end worldwide print management solution (the “Joint Venture”). Effective December 31, 2006, the Company and Periscope entered into a termination agreement that, among other things, provides for the termination of the business activities of the Joint Venture and an orderly liquidation of its assets and liabilities. The Joint Venture was structured as a 50/50 arrangement between Cadmus and Periscope with equal equity, board membership and other attributes. Accordingly, the Joint Venture is accounted for by the Company under the equity method. The equity in losses of the Joint Venture was essentially break-even and $0.2 million for the three and six months ended December 31, 2006, respectively. As of December 31, 2006, advances to the Joint Venture were approximately $0.8 million.
APPLICATION OF CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ESTIMATES
As of December 31, 2006, there have been no significant changes with regard to the application of critical accounting policies and estimates disclosed in “Management’s Discussion and Analysis” in the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2006. The policies disclosed included the accounting for the allowance for doubtful accounts, valuation of intangible assets and goodwill, pension and other post retirement benefits, income taxes and self-insurance reserves.

Net Sales
Net sales for the second quarter of fiscal 2007 were $116.0 million, compared to $114.2 million in the same period last year, an increase of 1.6%. Publisher Services segment net sales for the quarter were $94.9 million, an increase of 2.9% from $92.2 million last year, as the Company experienced improved revenues from its content-related initiatives in all markets, continued growth in its emerging solutions offerings, and better revenue trends in its printing plants. Specialty Packaging segment net sales for the quarter were $21.2 million, a decrease of 3.7% from $22.0 million last year, reflecting slight declines in same-customer print runs compared to last year. Net sales for the first six months of fiscal 2007 totaled $223.4 million, compared with $221.4 million last year, an increase of 0.9%. Publisher Services segment net sales were $184.0 million, an increase of 4.0% from $176.9 million last year. Specialty Packaging segment net sales were $39.3 million, a decrease of 11.7% from $44.5 million last year as a result of exceptionally high volume in the first quarter of fiscal 2006.
Cost of Sales
Cost of sales increased to 85.5% of net sales for the second quarter of fiscal 2007, compared to 85.3% of net sales in the same period of fiscal 2006, and was 86.2% and 84.5% of net sales for the six months ended December 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively. The increased costs were primarily attributable to (i) operational inefficiencies and capacity constraints as the Publisher Services segment continues the implementation of the equipment replacement and consolidation plan, (ii) a negative change in the overall work mix at the Company’s special interest magazine facilities, and (iii) start-up costs for the new content processing facility in Columbus, Ohio.
Selling and Administrative Expenses
Selling and administrative expenses totaled $10.3 million, or 8.9% of net sales, for the second quarter of fiscal 2007, compared to $10.0 million, or 8.8% of net sales, for the same period of fiscal 2006. For the first six months of fiscal 2007, selling and administrative expenses totaled $19.8 million, or 8.9% of net sales, compared to $19.9 million, or 9.0% of net sales, for the same period of fiscal 2006. The year-to-date decrease in selling and administrative expenses was primarily attributable to management’s continued focus on cost reduction and the benefit of lower retiree costs, but was partially offset by higher costs for incentives, health insurance, bad debts and Sarbanes-Oxley compliance.
Restructuring and Other Charges
In the fourth quarter of fiscal 2005, the Company initiated a comprehensive equipment replacement and consolidation plan to its Publisher Services print platform and Specialty Packaging capabilities. This plan is designed to replace certain older, less efficient presses with state-of-the-art and more efficient presses, to add certain needed capacity, and to permit the further rationalization of domestic manufacturing capacity. In connection with this plan, the Company recorded a net charge of $0.2
17
million for the three months ended December 31, 2006 and a benefit of $0.1 million for the six months ended December 31, 2006, for costs associated with consolidating locations and assets disposed of during the second quarter of fiscal 2007, partially offset by proceeds from the sale of certain equipment and a reduction in previously recorded restructuring reserves for one-time termination benefits. The Company incurred charges of $0.7 million and $1.4 million for the three and six months ended December 31, 2005, respectively, related to severance expenses, costs to consolidate and recognize facilities, and impairment charges of equipment to be replaced. These charges and benefits were primarily related to the Publisher Services segment and are classified as restructuring and other charges in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. The estimated total restructuring costs pursuant to this plan include (i) one-time termination benefits of $1.4 million, (ii) contract termination costs in the range of $0.2 million to $0.3 million, and (iii) costs to consolidate and reorganize facilities in the range of $2.1 million to $2.2 million. All activities in connection with this plan are expected to be completed during the third quarter of fiscal 2007.
In the second quarter of fiscal 2006, costs associated with certain discontinued merger and acquisition activities in the amount of $0.8 million were charged to restructuring and other charges in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.
At December 31, 2006 and June 30, 2006, the restructuring liability was $0.1 million and $1.5 million, respectively, primarily related to one-time termination benefits and is included in accrued expenses and other current liabilities in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.
Merger-related Costs
The Company incurred merger-related costs of approximately $2.6 million during the quarter ended December 31, 2006 consisting primarily of financial advisory and professional fees. Approximately $2.4 million of these costs were included in accrued expenses as of December 31, 2006.
Operating Income
The Company reported operating income of $3.8 million for the second quarter of fiscal 2007, compared to $5.2 million for the second quarter of fiscal 2006. Operating income margin was 3.3% for the second quarter of fiscal 2007, compared to 4.6% for the second quarter of fiscal 2006. Publisher Services segment operating income for the second quarter was $6.0 million compared to $6.5 million for the second quarter of fiscal 2006. The decrease was the result of higher costs from operational inefficiencies and capacity constraints as the Publisher Services segment continues the implementation of the equipment replacement and consolidation plan. Specialty Packaging segment operating income for the second quarter was $1.9 million, essentially flat with the second quarter of fiscal 2006, as efficiencies gained from more technologically advanced assets offset the adverse effect of lower production volumes.
Operating income for the first six months of fiscal 2007 totaled $8.5 million, compared with $12.2 million last year, a decrease of 29.6%. Operating income margins were 3.8% and 5.5% for the six months ended December 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively. Publisher Services segment operating income was $10.3 million for the six months ended December 31, 2006, compared with $13.2 million last year. The decrease was the result of higher costs from operational inefficiencies and capacity constraints as the Publisher Services segment continues the implementation of the equipment replacement and consolidation plan. Specialty Packaging segment operating income was $3.4 million, a decrease from $4.3 million last year. The decrease resulted from exceptionally high volumes coupled with a more favorable business mix in the first quarter of fiscal 2006.
Operating income was reduced by $2.6 million in merger-related expenses recorded in the quarter ended December 31, 2006. Restructuring and other charges (benefit) for the three and six months December 31, 2006 are $0.2 million, or 0.1% of net sales, and ($0.1) million, or (0.1%) of net sales, respectively. The results for the three and six months ended December 31, 2005 include restructuring and other charges of $1.5 million, or 1.3% of net sales, and $2.2 million, or 1.0% of net sales, respectively. Adjusted for the impact of these items, adjusted operating income and adjusted operating income margin were $6.5 million, or 5.6% of net sales, and $6.7 million, or 5.9% of net sales, for the three months ended December 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively, and $11.0 million, or 4.9% of net sales, and $14.4 million, or 6.5% of net sales, for the six months ended December 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively.
Interest and Other Expenses
Interest expense in the second quarter of fiscal 2007 increased to $4.5 million from $3.4 million in the prior year. For the first six months of fiscal 2007, interest expense increased to $9.0 million from $6.9 million in the prior year. The increase in interest expense was due primarily to higher debt levels in the first and second quarters of fiscal 2007 compared to the prior year as well as higher interest rates. The increase in debt levels is a result of increased capital expenditures in connection with the Company’s equipment replacement and consolidation plan.
18
Income Taxes
During the third quarter of fiscal 2005, the Company executed a transaction related to one of its subsidiaries, Mack Printing Company. The transaction was an internal restructuring that effectively caused the Mack subsidiary to be liquidated. As a result, the Company recognized a tax benefit of approximately $5.0 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2005. Although the Company believed the actual benefit realized could be significantly larger at that time, it recorded that amount based on applying reasonable assumptions to the range of possible outcomes in accordance with accounting requirements.
During the second and third quarters of fiscal 2006, the Company participated in the Pre-Filing Agreement program (“PFA”) with the Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) to review the Mack transaction to determine the amount and character of the allowable loss to be reported on its federal income tax return for the year ended June 30, 2005. In culmination of the PFA process, the Company and the IRS executed a closing agreement on March 28, 2006 providing specific guidance for the recognition of an ordinary loss deduction to be reported by the Company on its June 30, 2005 federal tax return. Based on the Company’s resolution with the IRS and as a result of reporting the Mack transaction benefit on its June 30, 2005 federal tax return filed on March 15, 2006, the Company recorded an $8.5 million benefit for the quarter ended March 31, 2006. This $8.5 million benefit is incremental to the $5.0 million benefit recorded in the quarter ended March 31, 2005. As a result of the resolution with the IRS, the Company expects to realize a total net cash benefit of $37.4 million. The Company received $11.8 million in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2006, $2.6 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2007 and expects to utilize the balance in future years as a reduction to income taxes otherwise payable on future income earned.
The Company’s effective income tax rate was negative (41.6%) for the second quarter of fiscal 2007, compared to 37.9% for the second quarter of fiscal 2006. The Company’s effective tax rate was negative (46.7%) for the six months ended December 31, 2006, compared to 35.9% for the six months ended December 31, 2005. The Company’s effective tax rate differs from the expected income tax expense calculated by application of the federal statutory rate primarily due to (i) the impact from certain permanent book-to-tax differences, including $2.6 million of non-deductible merger-related costs recorded in the second quarter of fiscal 2007, (ii) the impact of state income taxes, and (iii) operating results from foreign operations.
The tax rate applied to employee benefit plan accruals was adjusted during the first quarter of fiscal 2007 to be consistent with the rate used to determine all other deferred tax assets and liabilities, resulting in other comprehensive income of $0.9 million for the first six months of fiscal 2007.
Discontinued Operations
In January 2002, the Company sold its Atlanta-based Cadmus Creative Marketing division and reported a $1.2 million loss from discontinued operations in the third quarter of fiscal 2002. In connection with this sale, the Company entered into a lease guaranty and other agreements. In March 2005, the purchaser/tenant under the lease defaulted on its lease obligations. As a result, in the third quarter of fiscal 2005 the Company recorded an estimate of its potential obligations under the guaranty and other costs totaling $1.5 million, net of $0.8 million in federal income taxes. During the first quarter of fiscal 2007, the Company recorded a gain from discontinued operations of $0.01 per share as a result of the elimination of remaining reserves in excess of final costs incurred and paid during the first quarter of fiscal 2007.
Net Income (Loss)
Net loss totaled ($1.3) million for the second quarter of fiscal 2007, compared to net income of $1.1 million for the second quarter of fiscal 2006. For the six months ended December 31, 2006, the Company reported a net loss of ($1.2) million, compared to net income of $3.3 million for the six months ended December 31, 2005. For the three and six months ended December 31, 2006, net loss included $2.6 million in merger-related costs which are not deductible for income tax purposes. Results for the three and six months ended December 31, 2006 also included restructuring and other charges of $0.1 million, net of tax, and a benefit of $0.1 million, net of tax, respectively. Net loss for the six months ended December 31, 2006 includes a gain from discontinued operations of $65.0 thousand, net of $33.0 thousand in taxes. Included in the results for the three and six months ended December 31, 2005, are restructuring and other charges of $0.9 million, net of $0.6 million in taxes, and $1.4 million, net of $0.8 million in taxes, respectively.
Earnings (Loss) Per Share
The Company reported net loss of ($0.14) per diluted share for the second quarter of fiscal 2007, compared to net income of $0.12 per diluted share in the second quarter of fiscal 2006. For the six months ended December 31, 2006, the Company reported net loss of ($0.12) per diluted share, compared to net income of $0.35 per diluted share for the six months ended
19
December 31, 2005. Included in the results for the three and six months ended December 31, 2006, are merger-related costs of $2.6 million, or $0.28 per diluted share. Also included for the three and six months ended December 31, 2006 are restructuring and other charges of $0.2 million, or $0.01 per diluted share, and a restructuring-related benefit of $0.1 million, or $0.01 per diluted share, respectively. The six months ended December 31, 2006 additionally includes a gain from discontinued operations of $65.0 thousand, or $0.01 per diluted share. The results for the three and six months ended December 31, 2005 include restructuring and other charges of $1.5 million, or $0.09 per diluted share, and $2.2 million, or $0.14 per diluted share, respectively. Adjusted for these items, adjusted income per diluted share was $0.15 and $0.21 for the three months ended December 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively, and $0.14 and $0.49 for the six months ended December 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively.
USE OF GAAP AND NON-GAAP MEASURES
In addition to results presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”), the Company included in this report certain non-GAAP financial measures. The non-GAAP financial measures used in this report are not GAAP financial measures and should not be viewed as a substitute for any GAAP financial measure. For each non-GAAP financial measure, the Company has presented the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure and has reconciled the non-GAAP financial measure with such comparable GAAP financial measure.
The Company included the following non-GAAP financial measures in this report: (1) “adjusted operating income” and “adjusted operating income margin” adjusted to exclude merger-related costs of $2.6 million for the three and six months ended December 31, 2006, restructuring and other charges (benefit) of $0.2 million and ($0.1) million for the three and six months ended December 31, 2006, respectively, and restructuring and other charges of $1.5 million and $2.2 million for the three and six months ended December 31, 2005, respectively and (2) “adjusted income per diluted share” adjusted in the same manner and for the same items as adjusted operating income and further adjusted to exclude the gain from discontinued operations of $0.01 per diluted share for the six months ended December 31, 2006.
These non-GAAP financial measures provide useful information to investors to assist in understanding the underlying operational performance of the Company. Specifically, the exclusion of merger-related costs, restructuring and other charges (benefits) permits comparisons of results for on-going business facilities under the current operating structure and the exclusion of the impact of discontinued operations permits comparisons of continuing business operations. In addition, the Company uses these non-GAAP financial measures internally to measure its on-going business performance and in reports to bankers to permit monitoring of the Company’s ability to repay outstanding liabilities.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Operating Activities
Net cash provided by operating activities for the first six months of fiscal 2007 totaled $11.9 million, compared to $5.0 million for the first six months of fiscal 2006. The reduction in earnings was more than offset by year-over-year net changes in working capital accounts and other assets, which include cash provided by a $3.8 million increase in life insurance policy loans and the $2.6 million IRS refund.
Investing Activities
Net cash used in investing activities was $7.7 million for the first six months of fiscal 2007, compared to $28.3 million in the prior year. Capital expenditures for the first six months of fiscal 2007 totaled $10.3 million, compared to $27.8 million for the corresponding period of the prior year, and included investments in equipment for the Publisher Services and Specialty Packaging segments in connection with the Company’s equipment replacement and consolidation plan. Proceeds from the sales of property, plant and equipment totaled $3.4 million in the first six months of fiscal 2007, compared to $0.1 million in the prior year. The increase is attributable to the sale of a building and equipment in connection with the Company’s equipment replacement and consolidation plan. Advances to PeriscopeCadmus, which was formed on June 29, 2006, totaled $0.8 million for the first six months of fiscal 2007. The Company estimates that total capital expenditures for fiscal 2007 will be approximately $18.0 to $20.0 million.
Financing Activities
Net cash used in financing activities was $4.3 million for the first six months of fiscal 2007, compared to net cash provided by financing activities of $23.3 million for the first six months of fiscal 2006. For the six months ended December 31, 2006, cash generated by operating activities, net of cash used in investing activities was predominantly used to reduce long-term borrowings by $3.6 million. Additionally, cash used to pay $1.2 million in dividends during the first two quarters of fiscal 2007
20
was partially offset by proceeds of $0.5 million from the exercise of stock options. For the six months ended December 31, 2005, an increase in total debt of $23.6 million primarily attributable to capital expenditures in connection with the Company’s equipment replacement and consolidation plan, and proceeds of $0.8 million from the exercise of stock options, were partially offset by dividend payments of $1.2 million.
Long-term debt at December 31, 2006 totaled $194.9 million, compared to $196.7 million at June 30, 2006. The balance at December 31, 2006 was comprised of $60.2 million in borrowings under a revolving senior bank credit facility, $125.0 million of 8.375% senior subordinated notes due 2014, $12.2 million in term loan agreements (including $1.9 million in current maturities), and ($0.5) million of fair market value of interest rate swap agreements. The balance at June 30, 2006 was comprised of $62.2 million in borrowings under the revolving senior bank credit facility, $125.0 million of 8.375% senior subordinated notes due 2014, $13.7 million in term loan agreements (including $2.6 million in current maturities), and ($1.7) million of fair market value of interest rate swap agreements. See Notes 8 and 9 of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included in this report on Form 10-Q for further discussion.
At December 31, 2006, there were approximately $60.2 million in borrowings outstanding under the senior bank credit facility and approximately $2.6 million of standby letters of credit outstanding against which no claims had been made. Based upon the borrowing base computation included in the senior bank credit facility, the Company’s total available borrowings were limited to approximately $86.9 million. Therefore, the Company’s revolving credit availability was approximately $24.1 million at December 31, 2006. The senior bank credit facility expires on January 28, 2008.
The primary cash requirements of the Company are for debt service, capital expenditures, working capital, taxes, pension funding and dividends. The primary sources of liquidity are cash flow provided by operations and unused capacity under the Company’s senior bank credit facility. The future operating performance and ability to service the Company’s debt depends on the Company’s ability to implement its business strategy and on general economic, financial, competitive, legislative, regulatory and other factors, many of which are beyond the control of the Company. The Company believes that these sources will provide sufficient liquidity and capital resources to meet its operating requirements for capital expenditures and working capital.
Off Balance Sheet Items
As of December 31, 2006, there have been no material changes to the off balance sheet items disclosed in “Management’s Discussion and Analysis” in the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2006.
Obligations and Commitments
As of December 31, 2006, there have been no material changes outside the normal course of business to the contractual obligations disclosed in “Management’s Discussion and Analysis” in the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2006.
The Company is required to make certain minimum contributions to its defined benefit pension plans. The amount of any contributions will directly depend upon future changes in investment values, rates of return, discount rates, plan benefits and design, and changes in regulatory or legislative rules covering such plans, among other factors. The Company anticipates having to contribute $2.5 million and $7.6 million to its primary defined benefit pension plan, and $0.6 million and $0.6 million to its other defined benefit pension plans in fiscal 2007 and the first six months of fiscal 2008, respectively. Accrued expenses and other current liabilities include $11.4 million and $3.6 million as of December 31, 2006 and June 30, 2006, respectively, related to these anticipated contributions.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
In September 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued SFAS No. 157, Fair Value Measurements (“SFAS 157”), which defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. SFAS 157 is first effective for the Company’s fiscal year ending June 30, 2008. Management is currently evaluating the impact that the adoption of this statement will have on the Company’s consolidated financial position and results of operations.
In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 158, Employer’s Accounting for Defined Benefit Pension and Other Postretirement Plans (an amendment of FASB Statements No. 87, 88, 106, and 132R) (“SFAS 158”). SFAS 158 requires an employer to recognize the funded status of each of its defined pension and postretirement benefit plans as a net asset or liability in its statement of financial position with an offsetting amount in accumulated other comprehensive income, and to recognize changes in that funded status in the year in which changes occur through comprehensive income. This requirement is effective
21
for the Company’s June 30, 2007 year-end. The provisions of SFAS 158 are to be applied on a prospective basis; therefore, prior periods presented will not be restated. Management is currently evaluating the impact that the adoption of this statement will have on the Company’s consolidated financial position and results of operations.
Additionally, SFAS 158 requires an employer to measure the funded status of each of its plans as of the date of its year-end statement of financial position. This provision is effective for the Company’s June 30, 2008 year-end. The funded status of the Company’s pension and other postretirement benefit plans are currently measured as of March 31.
In July 2006, the FASB issued Interpretation No. 48 (“FIN 48”), Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes, which clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in the financial statements in accordance with FASB Statement No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes. FIN 48 provides guidance on financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. It also provides guidance on derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure and transition. FIN 48 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006. Management is currently evaluating the impact that the adoption of FIN 48 will have on the Company’s consolidated financial position and results of operations.
In September 2006, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission released Staff Accounting Bulletin 108 (“SAB 108”), which provides interpretive guidance on how the effects of the carryover or reversal of prior year misstatements should be considered in quantifying a current year misstatement. SAB 108 requires registrants to quantify misstatements using both the balance-sheet and income-statement approaches and to evaluate whether either approach results in quantifying an error that is material in light of relevant quantitative and qualitative factors. SAB 108 does not change the staff’s previous guidance in SAB 99 on evaluating the materiality of misstatements. When the effect of initial adoption is determined to be material, SAB 108 allows registrants to record that effect as a cumulative-effect adjustment to beginning-of-year retained earnings. The requirements are effective for the Company’s fiscal year ending June 30, 2007. The adoption of SAB 108 had no impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.

ITEM 3. | QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK |
There have been no material changes to the information concerning the Company’s “Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk” as previously reported in the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, 2006. Additional information concerning the Company’s quantitative and qualitative disclosures about market risk is included in Note 9 of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and under the caption “Management’s Discussion and Analysis – Liquidity and Capital Resources” in this report on Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended December 31, 2006, and is incorporated herein by reference.
ITEM 4. | CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES |
The Company maintains a system of disclosure controls and procedures that is designed to ensure that material information is accumulated and communicated to management on a timely basis. As required, management, including the Company’s chief executive officer and chief financial officer, evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on this evaluation, the Company’s chief executive officer and chief financial officer concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were operating effectively to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in reports that it files or submits under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, is recorded, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the Securities and Exchange Commission.
Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures will detect or uncover every situation involving the failure of persons within the Company to disclose material information otherwise required to be set forth in the Company’s periodic reports.
The Company’s management is also responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. No changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting occurred during the Company’s most recent fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION
The Company is a party to various legal actions that are ordinary and incidental to its business. While the outcome of legal actions cannot be predicted with certainty, management believes the outcome of any of these proceedings, or all of them combined, will not have a materially adverse effect on its consolidated financial position or results of operations.
We may not complete the proposed merger.
The completion of the proposed merger with Cenveo, Inc. requires the approval and adoption of the merger proposal by our shareholders and the satisfaction or waiver of several other closing conditions. Among these is that our representations and warranties contained in the agreement of merger must be true and correct as of the date of the agreement of merger and as of the closing date (without regard to any materiality qualifications or references to material adverse effect), except for changes permitted by the agreement of merger, to the extent representations and warranties speak as of a specific date (in which case they must be true and correct as of such date) and inaccuracies that, individually or in the aggregate, have not had and would not reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect (as such term is defined in the agreement of merger) on us. For additional information see our definitive merger proxy statement for our special meeting of shareholders, dated January 31, 2007, as filed with the SEC. If the merger is not completed, our stock price may decline. The inability to complete the merger may also result in litigation, which could be costly and could divert the attention of management. In addition, our results of operations for 2007 would likely be adversely affected by costs related to merger-related activities.
Whether or not the merger is completed, the pendency of the merger may cause disruptions in our business, which could have an adverse effect on our business and financial results.
Whether or not the merger is completed, the pendency of the merger may cause disruptions in our business. Specifically:
| • | | current and prospective employees may experience uncertainty about their future roles with the combined company, which might adversely affect our ability to retain key managers and other employees; and |
| • | | the attention of management may be directed toward the completion of the merger. |
These disruptions could be exacerbated by a delay in the completion of the merger or termination of the agreement of merger and could have an adverse effect on our business and financial results.
Our directors and executive officers have interests in the merger in addition to their interests generally as shareholders of Cadmus.
You should be aware that our directors and certain executive officers have interests in the merger in addition to their interests generally as shareholders of Cadmus. Information about our directors and certain executive officers interests in the merger is set forth in the definitive merger proxy statement for our special meeting of shareholders, dated January 31, 2007, as filed with the SEC. As a result of these interests, our directors and executive officers could be more likely to approve and recommend that shareholders vote in favor of the merger proposal than if they did not have these interests. Our shareholders should consider whether these interests may have influenced these directors and executive officers to support or recommend the merger proposal.
Failure to complete the merger will subject the Company to financial risks and could cause its stock price to decline.
If the merger is not completed for any reason, we will be subject to a number of material risks, including:
| • | | as a result of investors’ expectations regarding the merger, the Company’s stock price may decline to the extent that its shares are trading at a higher level than they might have been in the absence of the merger agreement; |
| • | | the agreement of merger prohibits us from soliciting other proposals and obligates us to pay to Cenveo a termination fee of $8.375 million and up to $500,000 of expenses, if we terminate the agreement of merger to accept and ultimately consummate a superior proposal, which may deter others from proposing an alternative transaction that may be more advantageous to our shareholders; |
| • | | costs related to the merger, such as legal and accounting fees and a portion of our investment banking fees, must be paid even if the merger is not completed; |
24
| • | | the benefits that we expect that our shareholders will realize from the merger will not be realized, and we may have foregone attractive business opportunities as a result of the covenants in the merger agreement; and |
| • | | the diversion of our management’s attention and the possible disruption of our relationships with employees, customers and suppliers between the signing of the merger agreement and its termination, might make it difficult for us to regain our financial and market position if the merger does not occur. |
