Employee 401(k) Plan: We have audited the accompanying statement of net assets available for benefits of Consolidated Graphics, Inc. Employee 401(k) Savings Plan (the Plan) as of December 31, 1997, and the related statement of changes in net assets available for benefits with fund information for the year ended December 31, 1997. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Plan's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit. We conducted our audit in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion. In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the net assets available for benefits of the Plan as of December 31, 1997, and the changes in net assets available for benefits with fund information for the year ended December 31, 1997, in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles. Our audit was performed for the purpose of forming an opinion on the basic financial statements taken as a whole. The supplemental schedules of (1) assets held for investment purposes and (2) reportable transactions are presented for the purpose of additional analysis and are not a required part of the basic financial statements but are supplementary information required by the Department of Labor's Rules and Regulations for Reporting and Disclosure under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974. These supplemental schedules are the responsibility of the Plan's management. The fund information in the statement of changes in net assets available for benefits is presented for purposes of additional analysis rather than to present the changes in net assets available for plan benefits of each fund. The supplemental schedules and fund information have been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audit of the basic financial statements and, in our opinion, are fairly stated in all material respects in relation to the basic financial statements taken as a whole. /s/ KPMG LLP Houston, Texas September 25, 1998 CONSOLIDATED GRAPHICS, INC.

EMPLOYEE 401(k) SAVINGS PLAN NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS DECEMBER 31, 1997 (1) DESCRIPTION OF PLAN The following description of the Consolidated Graphics, Inc. (the "Company") Employee 401(k) Plan (the "Plan") provides only general information. Participants should refer to the Plan agreement for a more complete description of the Plan's provisions. (A) GENERAL The Plan was established effective January 1, 1997, as a defined contribution plan covering all full-time employees of the Company who have one year of service or at least 1,000 hours of service and are age nineteen or older. The Plan is subject to the provisions of the Employees Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 ("ERISA"). During 1997, the Company executed three asset transfer agreements to merge the 401(k) plans of acquired printing businesses into the Plan. The following plans were merged into the Plan as of the following dates: PLAN NAME DATE Theo Davis 401(k) Profit Sharing Plan October 1, 1997 Tulsa Litho Company Profit Sharing and 401(k) Plan October 3, 1997 Direct Color 401(k) Plan November 5, 1997 The Plan is administered by the Company's Retirement Committee. Security Trust & Financial Company serves as the Plan trustee and custodian. Plan administrative expenses are paid by the Company. (B) CONTRIBUTIONS Each year, participants may contribute from 1 percent to 15 percent of their pretax annual compensation not to exceed $9,500, as defined in the Plan agreement. Participants may also contribute amounts representing distributions from other qualified defined benefit or contribution plans. The Plan also provides for discretionary employer matching, not exceeding 6% of annual compensation. Additional amounts may also be contributed by the employer at the option of the Company's board of directors. During 1997, the Company made no discretionary contributions to the Plan. (C) PARTICIPANT ACCOUNTS Each participant's account is credited with the participant's contribution and allocations of (i) the Company's contribution and (ii) Plan earnings, and charged with an allocation of administrative expenses. Allocations are based on participant earnings or account balances, as defined. The benefit to which the participant is entitled is the benefit that can be provided from the participant's vested interest in his or her account. 4 CONSOLIDATED GRAPHICS, INC. EMPLOYEE 401(k) SAVINGS PLAN NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) DECEMBER 31, 1997 (D) VESTING Participants are immediately vested in their contributions plus actual earnings thereon and qualified employer matching contributions. The vesting of certain discretionary contributions made by the employer plus earnings and losses thereon, is based on years of continuous services. A participant vests at a rate of 20% per year until fully vested after five years of credited service. (E) INVESTMENT OPTIONS Upon enrollment in the Plan, a participant may direct contributions in 1 percent increments in any of seven investment options. o CONSOLIDATED GRAPHICS, INC. COMMON STOCK ACCOUNT - Invests in the Company's common stock. o JANUS WORLDWIDE FUND - A diversified fund that seeks long-term growth of capital by investing primarily in common stocks of foreign and domestic issues. o U.S. GLOBAL RESOURCES FUND - Seeks long-term growth of capital, while providing protection against inflation and monetary instability by investing in natural resource-related companies around the globe. o BONNELL GROWTH FUND - Seeks long-term growth of capital by investing primarily in the common stocks of domestic and foreign small to midsize capital companies. o DREYFUS S & P 500 INDEX FUND - Seeks to provide investment results that correspond to the price and yield performance of publicly-traded common stocks in the aggregate, as represented by the Standard & Poor's 500 Composite Price Index. o JANUS FLEXIBLE INCOME FUND - A diversified fund that seeks current income and long-term growth of capital by investing primarily in income-producing equity securities. o U.S. GOVERNMENT SECURITIES SAVINGS FUND - Seeks to preserve capital and generate income by investing exclusively in short-term securities backed by the United States government or its agencies. Participants may change their investment options at any time. 5 CONSOLIDATED GRAPHICS, INC. EMPLOYEE 401(k) SAVINGS PLAN NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) DECEMBER 31, 1997 (F) PARTICIPANT NOTES RECEIVABLE Participants may borrow from their fund accounts a minimum of $1,000 up to a maximum equal to the lesser of $50,000 or 50 percent of the participant's vested account balance. Loan transactions are treated as a transfer to (from) the investment fund from (to) the Participant Notes fund. Loan terms range from 1 to 5 years or up to 25 years for the purchase of a primary residence. The loans are secured by the balance in the participant's account and bear interest at a rate commensurate with local prevailing rates as determined by the Plan administrator. Principal and interest payments will be made by means of payroll withholdings according to the terms of the promissory note. (G) PAYMENT OF BENEFITS Upon termination of services due to death or retirement, a participant may elect to receive either a lump-sum amount equal to the value of the participant's vested interest in his or her account, or annual installments as requested by the employee. For termination of service due to other reasons, a participant may receive the value of the vested interest in his or her account as a lump-sum distribution. (H) FORFEITED ACCOUNTS At December 31, 1997, there were no forfeited nonvested accounts. (2) SUMMARY OF ACCOUNTING POLICIES (A) BASIS OF ACCOUNTING The financial statements of the Plan are prepared under the accrual method of accounting. (B) USE OF ESTIMATES The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, and changes therein, and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. Actual results could differ from those estimates. (C) INVESTMENT VALUATION AND INCOME RECOGNITION The Plan's investments are stated at fair value. Shares of registered investment companies are valued at quoted market prices which represent the net asset value of shares held by the Plan at year end. The Company's common stock is valued at its quoted market price. Participant notes receivable are valued at cost which approximates fair value. 6 CONSOLIDATED GRAPHICS, INC. EMPLOYEE 401(k) SAVINGS PLAN NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) DECEMBER 31, 1997 Purchases and sales of securities are recorded on a trade-date basis. Interest income is recorded on the accrual basis. Dividends are recorded on the ex-dividend date. (D) PAYMENT OF BENEFITS Benefits are recorded when paid. (3) RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS Certain Plan investments are in funds managed by Security Trust and Financial Company, the Plan trustee. In addition, the Plan invests in the Company's common stock, as well as participant notes receivable. These transactions qualify as party-in-interest transactions. (4) PLAN TERMINATION Although it has not expressed any intent to do so, the Company has the right under the Plan to discontinue its contributions at any time and to terminate the Plan subject to the provisions of ERISA. In the event of Plan termination, participants will become 100 percent vested in their accounts.
