AMERICAN REPROGRAPHICS COMPANY

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)

1. Description of Business and Basis of Presentation

American Reprographics Company (“ARC” or the “Company”) is the nation’s leading document solutions company for the architecture, engineering, and construction (“AEC”) industry. ARC is the largest company of its kind in the United States and offers conventional reprographic services, as well as managed print services, digital color printing, and proprietary document management technology products and services. The Company conducts its operations through its wholly-owned operating subsidiary, American Reprographics Company, L.L.C., a California limited liability company, and its subsidiaries.

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying interim Condensed 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 SEC. 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 accompanying interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements presented reflect all adjustments of a normal and recurring nature that are necessary to fairly present the interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. All material intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The operating results for the three months ended March 31, 2012 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2012.

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the interim Condensed 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 interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

These interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and notes should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes included in the Company’s 2011 Form 10-K.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In September 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2011-08. The new guidance provides an entity the option, when testing for goodwill impairment, to first perform a qualitative assessment to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount. If, after performing a qualitative assessment, an entity determines it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount, it is required to perform the currently prescribed two-step goodwill impairment test to identify potential goodwill impairment, and measure the amount of goodwill impairment loss to be recognized for that reporting unit (if any). The Company is currently evaluating the provisions of ASU 2011-08 to determine if the new guidance will be adopted for the Company’s annual goodwill impairment test in the third quarter of 2012.

In June 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-05. The new guidance eliminates the current option to report other comprehensive income and its components in the statement of changes in equity. Instead, an entity will be required to present either a continuous statement of net income and other comprehensive income or present net income and other comprehensive income in two separate but consecutive statements. The Company adopted provisions of ASU 2011-05 effective January 1, 2012, and has presented a new statement titled “Condensed Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income (Loss).”

In May 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-04 which amends the accounting and disclosure requirements on fair value measurements. The new guidance limits the highest-and-best-use measure to nonfinancial assets, permits certain financial assets and liabilities with offsetting positions in market or counterparty credit risks to be measured at a net basis, and provides guidance on the applicability of premiums and discounts. Additionally, the new guidance expands the disclosures on Level 3 inputs by requiring quantitative disclosure of the unobservable inputs and assumptions, as well as description of the valuation processes and the sensitivity of the fair value to changes in unobservable inputs. The Company adopted provisions of ASU 2011-04 effective January 1, 2012, which did not have a material effect on its Consolidated Financial Statements.

Segment Reporting

The provisions of Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 280, Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information, require public companies to report financial and descriptive information about their reportable operating segments. The Company identifies operating segments based on the various business activities that earn revenue and incur expense, whose operating results are reviewed by the chief operating decision maker. Based on the fact that operating segments have similar products and services, classes of customers, production processes and performance objectives, the Company is deemed to operate as a single reportable segment.

Risk and Uncertainties

The Company generates the majority of its revenue from sales of products and services provided to the AEC industry. As a result, the Company’s operating results and financial condition can be significantly affected by economic factors that influence the AEC industry, such as non-residential construction spending, GDP growth, interest rates, unemployment rates, and office vacancy rates. The effects of the current economic environment in the United States have resulted in a significant reduction of activity in the non-residential portions of the AEC industry, as compared to periods prior to the recent recession. The AEC industry generally experiences downturns several months after a downturn in the general economy, and there may be a similar delay in the recovery of the AEC industry following a recovery in the general economy. Similar to the AEC industry, the reprographics industry typically lags a recovery in the broader economy. A continued downturn in the AEC industry and the reprographics industry would further diminish demand for some of ARC’s products and services, and would therefore negatively impact revenues and have a material adverse impact on its business, operating results and financial condition.

Future technology advances may further facilitate and improve our customers’ ability to print in their own offices or at a job site. As technology continues to improve, this trend toward printing on an “as needed” basis could result in decreasing printing volumes and declining revenues in the longer term. Failure to offset these potential declines in printing volumes by changing how we charge for our services and develop additional revenue sources could significantly affect our business and reduce our long term revenue, resulting in an adverse effect on our results of operations and financial condition.

2. Earnings per Share

The Company accounts for earnings per share in accordance with ASC 260, Earnings Per Share. Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing net income attributable to ARC 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 common shares subject to outstanding options and acquisition rights had been issued and if the additional common shares were dilutive. Common stock equivalents are excluded from the computation if their effect is anti-dilutive. For the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011, stock options for 2.2 million common shares were excluded from the calculation of diluted net income attributable to ARC per common share because they were anti-dilutive.

Basic and diluted earnings per share for the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011 were calculated using the following common shares:


	Three Months Ended March 31,
(In thousands)	2012		2011
Weighted average common shares outstanding - basic		45,541		45,322
Effect of dilutive impact on equity-based compensation awards		—		—

Weighted average common shares outstanding - diluted		45,541		45,322

3. Goodwill and Other Intangibles Resulting from Business Acquisitions

Goodwill

In connection with acquisitions, the Company applies the provisions of ASC 805, Business Combinations, using the acquisition method of accounting. The excess purchase price over the fair value of net tangible assets and identifiable intangible assets acquired is recorded as goodwill.

The Company assesses goodwill for impairment annually as of September 30, and more frequently if events and circumstances indicate that goodwill might be impaired. Since the Company’s previous goodwill impairment analysis as of September 30, 2011, there were no triggering events that required a subsequent interim impairment analysis.

The results of the Company’s analysis at September 30, 2011 indicated that nine of its 37 reporting units, eight in the United States and one in Canada, had a goodwill impairment as of September 30, 2011. Accordingly, the Company recorded a pretax, non-cash charge for the three months ended September 30, 2011 to reduce the carrying value of goodwill by $42.1 million. Given the increased uncertainty in the timing of the recovery of the construction industry, and the increased uncertainty in the economy as a whole, as well as the significant decline in the price of the Company’s senior notes (resulting in a higher yield) and a decline of the Company’s stock price during the third quarter of 2011, the Company concluded that it was appropriate to increase the estimated weighted average cost of capital (WACC) of its reporting units as of September 30, 2011. The increase in the Company’s WACC was the main driver in the decrease in the estimated fair value of reporting units during the third quarter of 2011, which in turn resulted in the goodwill impairment.

At June 30, 2011, the Company determined that there were sufficient indicators to trigger an interim goodwill impairment analysis. The indicators included, among other factors: (1) the economic environment, (2) the performance against plan of reporting units which previously had goodwill impairment, and (3) revised forecasted future earnings. The Company’s analysis indicated that six of its 36 reporting units, all of which are located in the United States, had a goodwill impairment as of June 30, 2011. Accordingly, the Company recorded a pretax, non-cash charge for the three and six months ended June 30, 2011 to reduce the carrying value of goodwill by $23.3 million.

Goodwill impairment testing is performed at the reporting unit level. Goodwill is assigned to reporting units at the date the goodwill is initially recorded. Once goodwill has been assigned to reporting units, it no longer retains its association with a particular acquisition, and all of the activities within a reporting unit, whether acquired or internally generated, are available to support the value of the goodwill.

Goodwill impairment testing is a two-step process. Step one involves comparing the fair value of the reporting units to its carrying amount. If the carrying amount of a reporting unit is greater than zero and its fair value is greater than its carrying amount, there is no impairment. If the reporting unit’s carrying amount is greater than the fair value, the second step must be completed to measure the amount of impairment, if any. Step two involves calculating the implied fair value of goodwill by deducting the fair value of all tangible and intangible assets, excluding goodwill, of the reporting unit from the fair value of the reporting unit as determined in step one. The implied fair value of goodwill determined in this step is compared to the carrying value of goodwill. If the implied fair value of goodwill is less than the carrying value of goodwill, an impairment loss is recognized equal to the difference.

The Company determines the fair value of its reporting units using an income approach. Under the income approach, the Company determined fair value based on estimated discounted future cash flows of each reporting unit. The cash flows are discounted by an estimated weighted-average cost of capital, which is intended to reflect the overall level of inherent risk of a reporting unit. Determining the fair value of a reporting unit is judgmental in nature and requires the use of significant estimates and assumptions, including revenue growth rates and EBITDA margins, discount rates and future market conditions, among others. The Company considered market information in assessing the reasonableness of the fair value under the income approach outlined above.

Given the current economic environment and the uncertainties regarding the impact on the Company’s business, there can be no assurance that the estimates and assumptions made for purposes of the Company’s goodwill impairment testing in 2011 regarding the duration of the lack of significant new construction activity in the AEC industry, or the timing or strength of general economic recovery, will prove to be accurate predictions of the future. If the Company’s assumptions, including forecasted EBITDA of certain reporting units, are not achieved, the Company may be required to record additional goodwill impairment charges in future periods, whether in connection with the Company’s next annual impairment testing in the third quarter of 2012, or on an interim basis, if any such change constitutes a triggering event (as defined under ASC 805) outside of the quarter when the Company regularly performs its annual goodwill impairment test. It is not possible at this time to determine if any such future impairment charge would result or, if it does, whether such charge would be material.

The changes in the carrying amount of goodwill from January 1, 2011 through March 31, 2012 are summarized as follows:


(In thousands)	Gross Goodwill		Accumulated Impairment Loss		Net Carrying Amount
January 1, 2011	$	405,558	$	110,799	$	294,759
Additions		—		—		—
Goodwill impairment		—		65,444		(65,444	)

December 31, 2011		405,558		176,243		229,315
Additions		—		—		—
Goodwill impairment		—		—		—

March 31, 2012	$	405,558	$	176,243	$	229,315

See “Critical Accounting Policies” in Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations for further information regarding the process and assumptions used in the goodwill impairment analysis.

Long-lived Assets

The Company periodically assesses potential impairments of its long-lived assets in accordance with the provisions of ASC 360, Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-lived Assets. An impairment review is performed whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of the assets may not be recoverable. The Company groups its assets at the lowest level for which identifiable cash flows are largely independent of the cash flows of the other assets and liabilities. The Company has determined that the lowest level for which identifiable cash flows are available is the divisional level.

Factors considered by the Company include, but are not limited to, significant underperformance relative to historical or projected operating results; significant changes in the manner of use of the acquired assets or the strategy for the overall business; and significant negative industry or economic trends. When the carrying value of a long-lived asset may not be recoverable based upon the existence of one or more of the above indicators of impairment, the Company estimates the future undiscounted cash flows expected to result from the use of the asset and its eventual disposition. If the sum of the expected future undiscounted cash flows and eventual disposition is less than the carrying amount of the asset, the Company recognizes an impairment loss. An impairment loss is reflected as the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset exceeds the fair value of the asset, based on the fair value if available, or discounted cash flows, if fair value is not available.

The reporting units of the Company have been negatively impacted by the decline in commercial and residential construction. Before assessing the Company’s goodwill for impairment, the Company evaluated, as described above, the long-lived assets in its reporting units for impairment. Based on these assessments, there was no impairment in 2011. The Company concluded that no triggering events have occurred during the first quarter of 2012 that would require a long-lived asset impairment test.

Other intangible assets that have finite lives are amortized over their useful lives. Customer relationships are amortized using the accelerated method, based on customer attrition rates, over their estimated useful lives of 13 (weighted average) years.

During the fourth quarter of 2010, the Company decided to consolidate the various brands that previously represented the Company’s market presence around the country. Beginning in January 2011, each of the Company’s operating segments and their respective locations began to adopt ARC, the Company’s overall brand name. Original brand names were used in conjunction with the new ARC brand name to reinforce the Company’s continuing presence in the business communities it serves, and ongoing relationships with its customers. Accordingly, the remaining estimated useful lives of the trade name intangible assets were revised down to 18 months. This change in estimate is accounted for on a prospective basis, resulting in increased amortization expense over the revised useful life of each trade name. The impact of this change in both the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011 was an increase in amortization expense of approximately $2.4 million. Trade names are amortized using the straight-line method. The Company retired the original trade names in April 2012.

Non-competition agreements are amortized over their term on a straight-line basis.

The following table sets forth the Company’s other intangible assets resulting from business acquisitions as of March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011 which continue to be amortized:

4. Income Taxes

On a quarterly basis, the Company estimates its effective tax rate 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 recorded an income tax provision of $1.3 million in relation to a pretax loss of $3.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2012. The income tax provision was primarily due to the impact of amortization of tax basis goodwill in a deferred tax liability position which receives an additional valuation allowance. Included in the Company’s income tax provision for the first quarter of 2012 were immaterial corrections of prior year items related to tax deficiencies from stock-based compensation.

In accordance with ASC 740-10, Income Taxes, the Company evaluates its deferred tax assets to determine if a valuation allowance is required based on the consideration of all available evidence using a “more likely than not” standard, with significant weight being given to evidence that can be objectively verified. This assessment considers, among other matters, the nature, frequency and severity of current and cumulative losses, forecasts of future profitability; the length of statutory carryover periods for operating losses and tax credit carryovers; and available tax planning alternatives. During 2011, and the first quarter of 2012, the Company determined that cumulative losses for the preceding twelve quarters constituted sufficient objective evidence (as defined by ASC 740-10) that a valuation allowance on certain deferred assets was needed. As of March 31, 2012, the Company has a $70.5 million valuation allowance against certain of its deferred tax assets.

Based on the Company’s assessment, the remaining net deferred tax assets of $1.3 million as of March 31, 2012 are considered to be more likely than not to be realized. The valuation allowance of $70.5 million may be increased or decreased as conditions change or if the Company is unable to implement certain available tax planning strategies. The realization of the Company’s net deferred tax assets ultimately depend on future taxable income, reversals of existing taxable temporary differences or through a loss carry back. The Company has income tax receivables of $4.3 million as of March 31, 2012 included in other current assets in its consolidated balance sheet primarily related to income tax refunds for prior years under audit.

10.5% Senior Notes due 2016

On December 1, 2010, the Company completed a private placement of 10.5% senior unsecured notes due 2016 (the “Notes”).

The Notes have an aggregate principal amount of $200 million. The Notes are general unsecured senior obligations of the Company and are subordinate to all existing and future senior secured debt of the Company to the extent of the assets securing such debt. The Company’s obligations under the Notes are jointly and severally guaranteed by all of the Company’s domestic subsidiaries. The issue price was 97.824% with a yield to maturity of 11.0%. Interest on the Notes accrues at a rate of 10.5% per annum and is payable semiannually in arrears on June 15 and December 15 of each year, commencing on June 15, 2011. The Company will make each interest payment to the holders of record of the Notes on the immediately preceding June 1 and December 1.

The Company received gross proceeds of $195.6 million from the Notes offering. In connection with the issuance of the Notes, the Company entered into an indenture (the “Indenture”). The Notes were offered only to qualified institutional buyers pursuant to Rule 144A under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and outside the United States to non-U.S. persons pursuant to Regulation S under the Securities Act.

Optional Redemption. At any time prior to December 15, 2013, the Company may redeem all or part of the Notes upon not less than 30 nor more than 60 days’ prior notice at a redemption price equal to the sum of (i) 100% of the principal amount thereof, plus (ii) a make-whole premium as of the date of redemption, plus (iii) accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the date of redemption. In addition, the Company may redeem some or all of the Notes on or after December 15, 2013, at redemption prices set forth in the Indenture, together with accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the date of redemption. At any time prior to December 15, 2013, the Company may use the proceeds of certain equity offerings to redeem up to 35% of the aggregate principal amount of the Notes, including any permitted additional notes, at a redemption price equal to 110.5% of the principal amount of the Notes redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the date of redemption.

Repurchase upon Change of Control. Upon the occurrence of a change in control (as defined in the Indenture), each holder of the Notes may require the Company to repurchase all of the then-outstanding Notes in cash at a price equal to 101% of the aggregate principal amount of the Notes to be repurchased, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the date of repurchase.

Other Covenants. The Indenture contains covenants that limit, among other things, the Company’s and certain of its subsidiaries’ ability to (1) incur certain additional debt and issue preferred stock, (2) make certain restricted payments, (3) consummate specified asset sales, (4) enter into certain transactions with affiliates, (5) create liens, (6) declare or pay any dividend or make any other distributions, (7) make certain investments, and (8) merge or consolidate with another person.

Events of Default. The Indenture provides for customary events of default (subject in certain cases to customary grace and cure periods), which include non-payment, breach of covenants in the Indenture, cross default and acceleration of other indebtedness, a failure to pay certain judgments and certain events of bankruptcy and insolvency. Generally, if an event of default occurs, the Trustee or holders of at least 25% in principal amount of the then outstanding Notes may declare the principal of and accrued but unpaid interest on all of the then-outstanding Notes to be due and payable.

Exchange Offer. Pursuant to a registered exchange offer in May 2011, the Company offered to exchange up to $200 million aggregate principal amount of the Notes, for new notes that were registered under the Securities Act. The terms of the registered notes are the same as the terms of the Notes, except that they are registered under the Securities Act and the transfer restrictions, registration rights and additional interest provisions are not applicable. The Company accepted the exchange of $200 million aggregate principal amounts of the Notes that were properly tendered in the exchange offer.

2012 Credit Agreement

On January 27, 2012, the Company entered into a new Credit Agreement (the “2012 Credit Agreement”) and terminated its previous senior secured credit agreement. The 2012 Credit Agreement provides revolving loans in an aggregate principal amount not to exceed $50.0 million with a Canadian sublimit of $5.0 million, based on inventory, accounts receivable and unencumbered equipment of the Company’s subsidiaries organized in the US and Canada (“Domestic Subsidiaries”) that meet certain eligibility criteria. The 2012 Credit Agreement has a maturity date of June 15, 2016.

Amounts borrowed in US dollars under the 2012 Credit Agreement bear interest, in the case of LIBOR loans, at a per annum rate equal to LIBOR plus the LIBOR Margin, which may range from 1.75% to 2.25%, based on Average Daily Net Availability (as defined in the Credit Agreement). All other amounts borrowed in US dollars that are not LIBOR loans bear interest at a per annum rate equal to (i) the greatest of (A) the Federal Funds rate plus 0.5%, (B) the LIBOR (calculated based upon an interest period of three months and determined on a daily basis), plus 1.0% per annum, and (C) the rate of interest announced, from time to time, within Wells Fargo Bank, National Association at its principal office in San Francisco as its “prime rate,” plus (ii) the Base Rate Margin (as defined in the 2012 Credit Agreement), which may range from 0.75% to 1.25%, based on Average Daily Net Availability. Amounts borrowed in Canadian dollars bear interest at a per annum rate equal to the Canadian Base Rate (as defined in the 2012 Credit Agreement) plus the LIBOR Margin, which may range from 1.75% to 2.25%, based on Average Daily Net Availability.

The 2012 Credit Agreement contains various loan covenants that restrict the Company’s ability to take certain actions, including restrictions on incurrence of indebtedness, creation of liens, mergers or consolidations, dispositions of assets, repurchase or redemption of capital stock, making certain investments, entering into certain transactions with affiliates or changing the nature of the Company’s business. In addition, at any time when Excess Availability (as defined in the 2012 Credit Agreement) is less than $10.0 million, the Company is required to maintain a Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio (as defined in the 2012 Credit Agreement) of at least 1.0. The Company’s obligations under the 2012 Credit Agreement are secured by substantially all of its assets pursuant to a Guaranty and Security Agreement.

As of March 31, 2012, the Company did not have any outstanding debt under the 2012 Credit Agreement.

As of March 31, 2012, standby letters of credit aggregated to $3.0 million, which reduced the Company’s borrowing availability under the 2012 Credit Agreement to $46.0 million.

Foreign Credit Facility

In the second quarter of 2011, in conjunction with its Chinese operations, UNIS Document Solutions Co. Ltd. (“UDS”) entered into a one-year revolving credit facility. This facility provides for a maximum credit amount of 8.0 million Chinese Yuan Renminbi. This translates to U.S. $1.3 million as of March 31, 2012. Draws on the facility are limited to 30 day periods and incur a fee of 0.5% of the amount drawn and no additional interest is charged.

6. 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 is subject to earnout obligations entered into 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 obligations. As of March 31, 2012, the Company has potential future earnout obligations for acquisitions consummated before the adoption of ASC 805, Business Combinations, of approximately $1.5 million through 2014 if predetermined financial targets are met or exceeded, and earnout obligations of $0.3 million through 2014 consummated subsequent to the adoption of ASC 805. Earnout payments prior to the adoption of ASC 805 are recorded as additional purchase price (as goodwill) when the contingent payments are earned and become payable.

Legal Proceedings. On October 21, 2010, a former employee, individually and on behalf of a purported class consisting of all non-exempt employees who work or worked for American Reprographics Company, L.L.C. and American Reprographics Company in the State of California at any time from October 21, 2006 through October 21, 2010, filed an action against the Company in the Superior Court of California for the County of Orange. The complaint alleges, among other things, that the Company violated the California Labor Code by failing to (i) provide meal and rest periods, or compensation in lieu thereof, (ii) timely pay wages due at termination, and (iii) that those practices also violate the California Business and Professions Code. The relief sought includes damages, restitution, penalties, interest, costs, and attorneys’ fees and such other relief as the court deems proper. The Company has not included any liability in its Consolidated Financial Statements in connection with this matter. The Company cannot reasonably estimate the amount or range of possible loss, if any, at this time.

In addition to the matter described above, the Company is involved in various additional legal proceedings and other legal matters from time to time in the normal course of business. The Company does not believe that the outcome of any of these matters will have a material adverse effect on its consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

8. Stock-Based Compensation

The Company’s 2005 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 5.0 million shares of common stock. This amount automatically increased 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) 0.3 million shares; or (iii) such smaller number of shares determined by the Company’s board of directors. As of March 31, 2012, 2.4 million shares remain available for issuance under the Stock Plan.

Stock options granted under the Stock Plan generally expire no later than ten years from the date of grant. Options generally vest and become fully exercisable over a period of two to five years from date of award, except that options granted to non-employee directors may vest over a shorter time period. The exercise price of options must be equal to at least 100% (110% in the case of an incentive stock option granted to a 10% stockholder) of the fair market value of the Company’s common stock on the date of grant. The Company allows for cashless exercises of vested outstanding options.

The impact of stock-based compensation before income taxes on the interim Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations was $0.4 million and $1.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively.

As of March 31, 2012, total unrecognized compensation cost related to unvested stock-based payments totaled $4.1 million and is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 2.9 years.

9. Derivatives and Hedging Transactions

As of March 31, 2012, the Company was not party to any derivative or hedging transactions.

As of December 31, 2010, the Company was party to a swap transaction, in which the Company exchanged its floating-rate payments for fixed-rate payments. As of December 1, 2010, the swap transaction was de-designated upon issuance of the Notes and payoff of the Company’s previous credit agreement. The swap transaction no longer qualified as a cash flow hedge under ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging, as all the floating-rate debt was extinguished. The swap transaction qualified as a cash flow hedge up to November 30, 2010. On January 3, 2011, the Company terminated and settled the swap transaction.

As of March 31, 2012, $2.2 million is deferred in Accumulated Other Comprehensive Loss (“AOCL”) and will be recognized in earnings over the remainder of the original term of the swap transaction which was scheduled to end in December 2012. Over the next nine months, the Company will amortize $2.2 million from AOCL to interest expense.

The following table summarizes the effect of the swap transaction on the interim Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations for the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011:

10. Fair Value Measurements

Fair Values of Financial Instruments. The following methods and assumptions were used by the Company in estimating the fair value of its financial instruments for disclosure purposes:

Cash equivalents: Cash equivalents are time deposits with maturity of three months or less when purchased, which are highly liquid and readily convertible to cash. Cash equivalents reported in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets were $11.2 million and $10.3 million as of March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011, respectively, and are carried at cost and approximate fair value due to the relatively short period to maturity of these instruments.

Short- and long-term debt: The carrying amount of the Company’s capital leases reported in the Consolidated Balance Sheets approximates fair value based on the Company’s current incremental borrowing rate for similar types of borrowing arrangements. The carrying amount reported in the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheet as of March 31, 2012 for its Notes and its subordinated notes payable is $200.0 million and $0.7 million, respectively. Using a discounted cash flow technique that incorporates a market interest rate which assumes adjustments for duration, optionality, and risk profile, the Company has determined the fair value of its Notes and its subordinated notes payable is $198.0 million and $0.6 million, respectively, as of March 31, 2012.

11. Condensed Consolidating Financial Statements

The Notes are fully and unconditionally guaranteed, on a joint and several basis, by all of the Company’s domestic subsidiaries (the “Guarantor Subsidiaries”). The Company’s foreign subsidiaries have not guaranteed the Notes (the “Non-Guarantor Subsidiaries”). Each of the Guarantor Subsidiaries is 100% owned, directly or indirectly, by the Company. There are no significant restrictions on the ability of the Company to obtain funds from any of the Guarantor Subsidiaries by dividends or loan. In lieu of providing separate audited financial statements for the Guarantor Subsidiaries, condensed consolidating financial information is presented below.

Item 2.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

The following discussion should be read in conjunction with our interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and the related notes and other financial information appearing elsewhere in this report as well as Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations included in our 2011 Form 10-K.

Business Summary

ARC provides specialized document solutions to businesses of all types, and is the leading document solutions company for the non-residential segment of the architecture, engineering and construction (“AEC”) industry. ARC is the largest company of its kind in the United States and offers conventional reprographic services, as well as managed print services, digital color printing, and proprietary document management technology products and services.

Our products and services rely on our technology and expertise to enhance our customers’ document workflow, reduce costs, shorten their document processing and distribution time, improve the quality of their document management tasks, and provide a secure, controlled environment in which to manage, distribute and produce their documents.

ARC offers three general categories of service which are reported as Reprographics Services, Facilities Management, and Equipment and Supplies.

Reprographics Services sales include operational activities provided at Company locations such as document management services, document logistics, large- and small-format print-on-demand services in color and black and white, and digital document management services.

Facilities Management sales are primarily composed of services executed at the customer’s location (“on-site” services) where we provide document production equipment and sometimes staff in our customers’ offices. These services include both (i) traditional reprographics services or facilities management (“FM”), as well as (ii) managed print services (“MPS”). Under an MPS contract, we supply, maintain and manage a customer’s entire print network, including office printing equipment, on an outsourced basis. In each case, ARC assumes all costs related to print, and issues a single invoice to its customers based on a contracted cost-per-printed page rate.

Equipment and Supplies sales involve the resale of printing and imaging equipment from a wide variety of suppliers.

We are diversifying our business beyond the services we have traditionally provided to the AEC industry, and expanding into managed print services, digital color printing to the non-AEC market, and technology-based document management services. We deliver both our traditional and newer services through a nationwide network of production facilities, locally-based sales executives, technical specialists, and a national/regional sales force known as Global Solutions, which is managed from our corporate offices in Walnut Creek, California. Based on our analysis of our operating results, we estimate that sales to the AEC industry accounted for approximately 77% of our net sales for the three months ended March 31, 2012, with the remaining 23% consisting of sales to non-AEC industries.

Acquisition activity during the last three years has been minimal and did not materially affect our overall business.

Historically, our local production facilities have operated under their acquired brand. In response to changes in our markets, consisting primarily of the consolidation of our larger customers and prospects, we branded all of our operations “ARC” in 2011 to highlight the scope and scale of our services. Our non-AEC digital color printing business is branded separately as Riot Creative Imaging to facilitate marketing to a specialized customer base.

We identify operating segments based on the various business activities that earn revenue and incur expense. Since operating segments have similar products and services, classes of customers, production processes and economic characteristics, we are deemed to operate as a single reportable segment. See Note 1 “Description of Business and Basis of Presentation” for further information.

Costs and Expenses. Our cost of sales consists primarily of paper, toner and other consumables, labor, and expenses for facilities and equipment. Facilities and equipment expenses include maintenance, repairs, rents, insurance, and depreciation. Paper is the largest component of our material cost. However, paper pricing typically does not significantly affect our operating margins due, in part, to our efforts to pass increased costs on to our customers. We closely monitor material cost as a percentage of net sales to measure volume and waste. We also track labor utilization, or net sales per employee, to measure productivity and determine staffing levels.

We maintain low levels of inventory and other working capital. Our capital expenditure requirements are changing slightly as we are more frequently electing to purchase equipment for our facilities and on-site service installations rather than lease it. This practice reflects an increase of cash available to fund capital expenditures, and the lower cost of capital under our revolving credit facilities versus current capital lease rates.

Research and development costs consist mainly of the salaries, leased building space, and computer equipment that comprise our data storage and development centers in Fremont, California and Kolkata, India. Such costs are primarily recorded to cost of sales.

One of the primary methods we have used to maintain our margins during periods of economic or industry decline has been to quickly and aggressively reduce our variable operating costs. The largest portions of our variable costs are labor related. Given that we manage production capacity primarily through labor utilization during a given daily production schedule or shift, we achieve cost containment objectives through the reduction of full-time employees, and the close management of hourly schedules. In addition, over the past year, the Company has reduced costs by closing non-core locations and taking advantage of the greater productivity of newer equipment.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures.

EBIT, EBITDA and related ratios presented in this report are supplemental measures of our performance that are not required by or presented in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“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 flows from operating, investing or financing activities as a measure of our liquidity.

EBIT represents net income before interest and taxes. EBITDA represents net income before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization. EBIT margin is a non-GAAP measure calculated by dividing EBIT by net sales. EBITDA margin is a non-GAAP measure calculated by dividing EBITDA by net sales.

We present EBIT, 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 and EBITDA to measure and compare the performance of our operating segments. Our operating segments’ financial performance includes all of the operating activities except debt and taxation which are managed at the corporate level for U.S. operating segments. As a result, we believe EBIT is the best measure of operating segment 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 segment-level compensation and we use EBITDA to measure performance for determining consolidated-level compensation. In addition, we use EBIT and EBITDA to evaluate potential acquisitions and potential capital expenditures.

EBIT, EBITDA and related ratios have limitations as analytical tools, and should not be considered 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, EBITDA and related ratios only as supplements.

Our presentation of adjusted net income and adjusted EBITDA over certain periods is an attempt to provide meaningful comparisons to our historical performance for our existing and future investors. The unprecedented changes in our end markets over the past several years have required us to take measures that are unique in our history and specific to individual circumstances. Comparisons inclusive of these actions make normal financial and other performance patterns difficult to discern under a strict GAAP presentation. Each non-GAAP presentation, however, is explained in detail in the reconciliation tables below.

Specifically, we have presented adjusted net income (loss) attributable to ARC and adjusted earnings (loss) per share attributable to ARC shareholders for the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011 to reflect the exclusion of the amortization impact related specifically to the change in useful lives of trade names, interest rate swap related costs, and other discrete tax items. This presentation facilitates a meaningful comparison of our operating results for the months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011. We believe these charges were the result of our capital restructuring, or other items which are not indicative of our actual operating performance.

We presented adjusted EBITDA in the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011 to exclude stock-based compensation expense of $0.4 million and $1.5 million, respectively. This presentation is consistent with the definition of adjusted EBITDA in our credit agreement; therefore, we believe this information is useful to investors in assessing our financial performance.

Free Cash Flows

Free Cash Flows (“FCF”) is defined as cash flows from operating activities less capital expenditures. FCF is a useful measure in determining our ability to generate excess cash flows for reinvestment in the business in a variety of ways including acquisition opportunities, the potential return of value to shareholders through stock repurchases or the purchase of our own debt instruments. As such, we believe this measure provides relevant and useful information to our current and potential investors.

Three Months Ended March 31, 2012 Compared to Three Months Ended March 31, 2011

Net Sales

Net sales for the first quarter of 2012 decreased by 2.8%. The decrease in net sales was primarily due to the decrease of private, non-residential construction activity, as compared to periods prior to the recent recession. We also believe our AEC customers are accelerating their adoption of technology, and exerting greater central control over document production for their project teams. With the lack of significant new construction activity in 2012, it remains difficult to quantify the effect of such behavior, but we believe it could be a contributing factor to the declines we have seen in large-format black-and-white document printing.

Reprographics services. Reprographics services sales decreased $7.0 million, or 10.0%, during the three months ended March 31, 2012, compared to the same period in 2011.

Overall reprographics services sales nationwide were negatively affected by the lower volume of construction drawings produced through large-format black and white printing. Large-format black-and-white printing revenues represented approximately 31% of reprographics services for the first quarter of 2012, and decreased by approximately 16% compared to the same period in 2011.

Digital color printing comprised approximately 29% of our overall reprographics services sales for the three months ended March 31, 2012, as compared to approximately 27% during the same period in 2011. Net sales of digital color printing services decreased 5.5% for the three months ended March 31, 2012 compared to the same period in 2011. We attribute this decrease, in part, to an overall decline in color printing in the AEC industry, and temporary disruptions as we expanded and enhanced our color sales force with new hires.

Our customers in the AEC industry prefer to receive documents in both analog (printed) and digital forms, but we have seen increasing adoption of digital services. During the three months ended March 31, 2012, digital service revenue increased 1.7% compared to the same period in 2011, and as a percentage of overall sales, it increased to 9.3% for the three months ended March 31, 2012 from 8.9% for the same period in 2011.

Facilities management. On-site sales increased $2.5 million, or 10.1%, for the three months ended March 31, 2012 as compared to the same period in 2011. FM revenue is derived from two sources: 1) an engagement with the customer to place traditional reprographics equipment that we own or lease in our customers’ offices, typically referred to as a “traditional FM,” and 2) an arrangement by which our customers outsource their entire printing network to us, including all office printing, copying, and reprographics printing, typically referred to as “managed print services” or MPS. In both cases, we are paid a single cost per unit of material used, often referred to as a “click charge.”

The number of onsite services locations has grown to approximately 6,100 as of March 31, 2012, an increase of more than 350 locations compared to March 31, 2011, due to growth in new MPS placements.

Equipment and supplies sales. Equipment and supplies sales increased $1.6 million, or 13.2%, for the three months ended March 31, 2012 as compared to the same period in 2011. The increase in equipment and supplies sales was primarily due to increased sales in UNIS Document Solutions Co. Ltd (“UDS”), our Chinese business venture with Beijing-based Unisplendour. To date, the Chinese market has shown a preference for owning reprographics equipment as opposed to using equipment through an on-site services or FM arrangement. Chinese operations had sales of equipment and supplies of $4.9 million in for the three months ended March 31, 2012, as compared to $2.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2011.

Gross Profit

During the three months ended March 31, 2012, gross profit and gross profit margin decreased to $31.9 million, or 30.8%, as compared to $33.4 million, or 31.3%, during the same period in 2011, on a sales decline of $2.9 million.

The primary reason for the decrease in gross margins was a change in our product mix. Material costs for the first quarter of 2012 as a percentage of sales were 250 basis points higher as compared to the same period in 2011, driven by increased lower-margin equipment and supplies sales. The increase in material costs was partially offset by a decrease of 150 basis points in labor as a percentage of sales during the same time period. The decrease in labor was primarily due to a reconfiguration of our labor force designed to address the overall decline in sales and increased demand for on-site services.

By aggressively reducing labor and overhead costs in response to the decline in overall sales, our margins remained healthy relative to our revenue.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses

The decrease of $4.4 million in selling, general and administrative expenses was due to the impact of cost reduction programs implemented in 2011.

General and administrative expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2012, decreased $3.4 million, or 18.0% compared to the same period in 2011. This decrease was primarily driven by the reconfiguration of our labor force to increase utilization in response to the decline in overall sales, as noted above, and a decrease in stock-based compensation due to the vesting of awards in 2011.

Sales and marketing expenses decreased $0.9 million driven primarily by decreased sales compensation on lower sales volume.

Amortization of Intangibles

Amortization of intangibles of $4.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2012 remained consistent with the amount in the same period in 2011 due to decreased acquisition activity since 2008.

During the fourth quarter of 2010, we decided to phase out the use of our local trade names over the following 18 months and revised the remaining estimated useful lives of our trade name intangible assets accordingly. Effective January 1, 2011, all divisions began using the ARC name, though some of the original brand names remained in circulation to ensure business recognition and the retention of existing customers. In April 2012, the trade names were fully transitioned to the ARC name and removed from the marketplace. This change in estimate was accounted for on a prospective basis, resulting in increased amortization expense over the revised useful lives for each trade name. The remaining useful lives of trade names prior to this change ranged from 11 to 18 years.

Interest Expense, Net

Net interest expense was $7.4 million during the three months ended March 31, 2012, respectively, compared to $8.2 million in the same period in 2011. The decrease in interest expense was driven by a reduction in the average debt balance by $17.4 million from the three months ended March 31, 2011 to the three months ended March 31, 2012.

Income Taxes

We recorded an income tax provision of $1.3 million in relation to a pretax loss of $3.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2012, and an income tax benefit of $3.6 million in relation to a pretax loss of $7.3 million for the same period in 2011. For the three months ended March 31, 2012, the income tax provision was primarily due to the impact of amortization of tax basis goodwill in a deferred tax liability position, which receives an additional valuation allowance. Included in the income tax provision for the first quarter of 2012 were immaterial corrections of prior year items related to tax deficiencies from stock-based compensation.

Noncontrolling Interest

Net loss attributable to noncontrolling interest represents 35% of the loss of UDS and its subsidiaries, which together comprise our Chinese operations, which commenced operations on August 1, 2008.

Net Loss Attributable to ARC

Net loss attributable to ARC was $4.9 million during the three ended March 31, 2012, compared to net loss attributable to ARC of $3.6 million in the same period in 2011. The net loss attributable to ARC in 2012 is primarily due to the decrease in sales and gross margins, and the impact of the income tax provision, partially offset by the decrease in selling, general and administrative expenses, as noted above.

EBITDA

EBITDA margin increased to 15.0% during the three months ended March 31, 2012, compared to 12.5% during the same period in 2011 due to the reduction in selling, general and administrative expenses, as noted above. Excluding the impact of stock based compensation, our adjusted EBITDA margin was 15.4% for the three months ended March 31, 2012, as compared to 13.9% during the same period in 2011.

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 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. Total cash as of March 31, 2012 was $29.8 million. Of this amount, $15.0 million was held in foreign countries. Specifically, $13.7 million was held in China and is considered a permanent investment in UDS.

Supplemental information pertaining to our historical sources and uses of cash is presented as follows and should be read in conjunction with our interim Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows and notes thereto included elsewhere in this report.


	Three Months Ended
	March 31,
(In thousands)	2012			2011
Net cash provided by operating activities	$	12,395		$	4,589
Net cash used in investing activities	$	(3,614	)	$	(13,487	)
Net cash (used in) provided by financing activities	$	(4,527	)	$	5,168

Operating Activities

Cash flows from operations are primarily driven by sales and net profit generated from these sales, excluding non-cash charges.

The overall increase in cash flows from operations during the three months ended March 31, 2012 over the same period in 2011 was primarily due to the increase in operating income, and the timing of payables. Days sales outstanding (“DSO”) increased from 51 days as of March 31, 2011 to 52 days as of March 31, 2012. With the slower pace of private, non-residential construction activity, we will continue to focus on our accounts receivable collections and DSO. If the recent negative sales trends continue throughout 2012, it will significantly impact our cash flows from operations in the future.

Investing Activities

Net cash used in investing activities of $3.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2012 relates to capital expenditures of $3.8 million, partially offset by $0.2 million of cash inflows from other investing activities. Cash flows from other investing activities primarily relate to the cash proceeds generated from the sale of fixed assets.

Financing Activities

Net cash of $4.5 million used in financing activities during the three months ended March 31, 2012 primarily relates to scheduled payments under capital leases and seller notes of $4.4 million and deferred financing fee payments related to our new revolving credit facility of $0.7, partially offset by borrowings under our foreign revolving credit facilities of $0.6 million.

Our cash position, working capital, and debt obligations as of March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011 are shown below and should be read in conjunction with our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets and notes thereto contained elsewhere in this report.


(In thousands)	March 31, 2012		December 31, 2011
Cash and cash equivalents	$	29,814	$	25,437
Working capital	$	42,878	$	40,405

Borrowings from senior secured credit facility and Notes (1)	$	196,388	$	196,241
Other debt obligations		30,076		30,023

Total debt obligations	$	226,464	$	226,264

(1)	Notes, net of discount of $3,612 and $3,759 at March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011, respectively.

The increase of $2.5 million in working capital in 2012 was due to an increase in cash and cash equivalents of $4.4 million, an increase in accounts receivable of $5.5 million, partially offset by an increase in accrued payroll and payroll related expenses of $2.2 million and an increase in accrued expenses of $6.9 million. The increase in accounts receivable is due to the increase in sales in February and March 2012, as compared to November and December 2011, which are typically slower months due to the holiday season. The increase in accrued expenses is primarily related to an increase in accrued interest expense. Interest on our $200.0 million Notes is paid semiannually on June 15^th and December 15^th. To manage our working capital, we focus on our number of days sales outstanding and monitor the aging of our accounts receivable, as receivables are the most significant element of our working capital.

We believe that our current cash balance of $29.8 million, availability under our revolving credit facility and additional cash flows provided by operations should be adequate to cover the next twelve months working capital needs, debt service requirements consisting of scheduled principal and interest payments, and planned capital expenditures, to the extent such items are known or are reasonably determinable based on current business and market conditions. In addition, we may elect to finance certain of our capital expenditure requirements through borrowings under our senior secured revolving credit facility, which had no debt outstanding as of March 31, 2012. See “Debt Obligations” section for further information related to our current credit facility.

We generate the majority of our revenue from sales of products and services provided to the AEC industry. 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 construction spending. The effects of the current economic downturn in the United States have resulted in a downturn in construction spending in the AEC industry, which have affected our operating results. The current diminished liquidity and credit availability in financial markets and the general economic downturn may adversely affect the ability of our customers and suppliers to obtain financing for significant operations and purchases, and to perform their obligations under their agreements with us. We believe the credit constraints in the financial markets are resulting in a decrease in, or cancellation of, existing business, could limit new business, and could negatively impact our ability to collect our accounts receivable on a timely basis. We are unable to predict the duration and severity of the current economic downturn or its effects on our business and results of operations, but the consequences may be materially adverse and more severe than other recent economic slowdowns.

We may buy our own bonds or equity securities from time to time in the open market or in private transactions. While we have not been actively seeking growth through acquisition during the current economic and industry downturn, the executive team continues to selectively evaluate potential acquisitions.

Debt Obligations

10.5% Senior Notes due 2016

On December 1, 2010, we completed a private placement of 10.5% senior unsecured notes due 2016.

The Notes have an aggregate principal amount of $200 million, and are general unsecured senior obligations and are subordinate to all of our existing and future senior secured debt to the extent of the assets securing such debt. We received gross proceeds of $195.6 million from the Notes offering. Our obligations under the Notes are jointly and severally guaranteed by all of our domestic subsidiaries. The issue price was 97.824% with a yield to maturity of 11.0%. Interest on the Notes accrues at a rate of 10.5% per annum and is payable semiannually in arrears on June 15 and December 15 of each year, commencing on June 15, 2011. We will make each interest payment to the holders of record of the Notes on the immediately preceding June 1 and December 1.

Repurchase upon Change of Control. In connection with the issuance of the Notes, we entered into an indenture (the “Indenture”). Upon the occurrence of a change in control (as defined in the Indenture), each holder of the Notes may require us to repurchase all of the then-outstanding Notes in cash at a price equal to 101% of the aggregate principal amount of the Notes to be repurchased, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the date of repurchase.

Other Covenants. The Indenture contains covenants that limit, among other things, our company’s and certain of our subsidiaries’ ability to (1) incur certain additional debt and issue preferred stock, (2) make certain restricted payments, (3) consummate specified asset sales, (4) enter into certain transactions with affiliates, (5) create liens, (6) declare or pay any dividend or make any other distributions, (7) make certain investments, and (8) merge or consolidate with another person.

Exchange Offer. Pursuant to a registered exchange offer in May 2011, we offered to exchange up to $200.0 million aggregate principal amount of the Notes, for new notes that were registered under the Securities Act. The terms of the registered notes are the same as the terms of the Notes, except that they are registered under the Securities Act and the transfer restrictions, registration rights and additional interest provisions are not applicable. We accepted the exchange of $200.0 million aggregate principal amounts of the Notes that were properly tendered in the exchange offer.

2010 Credit Agreement

In connection with the issuance of the Notes, our company and certain of our subsidiaries also entered into the 2010 Credit Agreement that provided for a $50.0 million senior secured revolving line of credit.

2012 Credit Agreement

On January 27, 2012, we entered into a new Credit Agreement (the “2012 Credit Agreement”) and terminated the 2010 Credit Agreement. The 2012 Credit Agreement provides revolving loans in an aggregate principal amount not to exceed $50.0 million with a Canadian sublimit of $5.0 million, based on inventory, accounts receivable and unencumbered equipment of our subsidiaries organized in the US and Canada (“Domestic Subsidiaries”) that meet certain eligibility criteria. The 2012 Credit Agreement has a maturity date of June 15, 2016.

Amounts borrowed in US dollars under the 2012 Credit Agreement bear interest, in the case of LIBOR loans, at a per annum rate equal to the LIBOR plus the LIBOR Margin, which may range from 1.75% to 2.25%, based on Average Daily Net Availability (as defined in the Credit Agreement). All other amounts borrowed in US dollars that are not LIBOR loans bear interest at a per annum rate equal to (i) the greatest of (A) the Federal Funds rate plus 0.5%, (B) the LIBOR (calculated based upon an interest period of three months and determined on a daily basis), plus 1.0% per annum, and (C) the rate of interest announced, from time to time, within Wells Fargo Bank, National Association at its principal office in San Francisco as its “prime rate,” plus (ii) the Base Rate Margin (as defined in the 2012 Credit Agreement), which may range from 0.75% to 1.25% percent, based on Average Daily Net Availability. Amounts borrowed in Canadian dollars bear interest at a per annum rate equal to the Canadian Base Rate (as defined in the 2012 Credit Agreement) plus the LIBOR Margin, which may range from 1.75% to 2.25%, based on Average Daily Net Availability.

The 2012 Credit Agreement contains various loan covenants that restrict our ability to take certain actions, including restrictions on incurrence of indebtedness, creation of liens, mergers or consolidations, dispositions of assets, repurchase or redemption of capital stock, making certain investments, entering into certain transactions with affiliates or changing the nature of our business. In addition, at any time when Excess Availability (as defined in the 2012 Credit Agreement) is less than $10.0 million we are required to maintain a Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio (as defined in the 2012 Credit Agreement) of at least 1.0. Our obligations under the 2012 Credit Agreement are secured by substantially all of our assets pursuant to a Guaranty and Security Agreement.

As of March 31, 2012, we did not have any outstanding debt under the 2012 Credit Agreement.

As of March 31, 2012, standby letters of credit aggregated to $3.0 million, which reduced our borrowing availability under the 2012 Credit Agreement to $46.0 million.

Foreign Credit Facility

In the second quarter of 2011, in conjunction with its Chinese operations, UDS entered into one-year revolving credit facility. The facility provides for a maximum credit amount of 8.0 million Chinese Yuan Renminbi. This translates to U.S. $1.3 million as of March 31, 2012. Draws on the facility are limited to 30 day periods and incur a fee of 0.5% of the amount drawn and no additional interest is charged.

Capital Leases

As of March 31, 2012, we had $28.1 million of capital lease obligations outstanding, with a weighted average interest rate of 8.3% and maturities between 2011 and 2016.

Seller Notes

As of March 31, 2012, we had $0.7 million of seller notes outstanding, with a weighted average interest rate of 6.2% and maturities between 2011 and 2014. These notes were issued in connection with prior acquisitions.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

As of March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011, 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 business.

Contingent Transaction Consideration. We have entered into earnout obligations 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 obligations. As of March 31, 2012, we have potential future earnout obligations for acquisitions consummated before the adoption of ASC 805, Business Combinations, of approximately $1.5 million through 2014 if predetermined financial targets are met or exceeded, and earnout obligations of $0.3 million through 2014 consummated subsequent to the adoption of ASC 805. Earnout payments prior to the adoption of ASC 805 are recorded as additional purchase price (as goodwill) when the contingent payments are earned and become payable.

Legal Proceedings. On October 21, 2010, a former employee, individually and on behalf of a purported class consisting of all non-exempt employees who work or worked for American Reprographics Company, LLC and American Reprographics Company in the State of California at any time from October 21, 2006 through October 21, 2010, filed an action against us in the Superior Court of California for the County of Orange. The complaint alleges, among other things, that we violated the California Labor Code by failing to (i) provide meal and rest periods, or compensation in lieu thereof, (ii) timely pay wages due at termination, and (iii) that those practices also violate the California Business and Professions Code. The relief sought includes damages, restitution, penalties, interest, costs, and attorneys’ fees and such other relief as the court deems proper. We have not included any liability in our Consolidated Financial Statements in connection with this matter. We cannot reasonably estimate the amount or range of possible loss, if any, at this time.

In addition to the matter described above, we are involved in various additional legal proceedings and other legal matters from time to time in the normal course of business. We do not believe that the outcome of any of these matters will have a material adverse effect on its consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

Critical Accounting Policies

Our management prepares financial statements in conformity with GAAP. 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.

Goodwill Impairment

In connection with acquisitions, we apply the provisions of ASC 805, Business Combinations, using the acquisition method of accounting. The excess purchase price over the fair value of net tangible assets and identifiable intangible assets acquired is recorded as goodwill.

We assess goodwill for impairment annually as of September 30, and more frequently if events and circumstances indicate that goodwill might be impaired.

At September 30, 2011, we performed our annual goodwill impairment analysis, which indicated that nine of our 37 reporting units, eight in the United States and one in Canada, had a goodwill impairment as of September 30, 2011. Accordingly, we recorded a pretax, non-cash charge for the three months ended September 30, 2011 to reduce the carrying value of goodwill by $42.1 million. Given the increased uncertainty in the timing of the recovery of the construction industry, and the increased uncertainty in the economy as a whole, as well as the significant decline in the price of our Notes (resulting in a higher yield) and a decline of our stock price during the third quarter of 2011, we concluded that it was appropriate to increase the estimated weighted average cost of capital (WACC) of our reporting units as of September 30, 2011. The increase in our WACC was the main driver in the decrease in the estimated fair value of reporting units during the third quarter of 2011, which in turn resulted in the goodwill impairment.

At June 30, 2011, we determined that there were sufficient indicators to trigger an interim goodwill impairment analysis. The indicators included, among other factors: (1) the economic environment, (2) the performance against plan of reporting units which previously had goodwill impairment, and (3) revised forecasted future earnings. The results of our analysis indicated that six of our 36 reporting units, all of which are located in the United States, had a goodwill impairment as of June 30, 2011. Accordingly, we recorded a pretax, non-cash charge for the three and six months ended June 30, 2011 to reduce the carrying value of goodwill by $23.3 million.

Goodwill impairment testing is a two-step process. Step one involves comparing the fair value of our reporting units to their carrying amount. If the carrying amount of a reporting unit is greater than zero and its fair value is greater than its carrying amount, there is no impairment. If the reporting unit’s carrying amount is greater than the fair value, the second step must be completed to measure the amount of impairment, if any. Step two involves calculating the implied fair value of goodwill by deducting the fair value of all tangible and intangible assets, excluding goodwill, of the reporting unit from the fair value of the reporting unit as determined in step one. The implied fair value of goodwill determined in this step is compared to the carrying value of goodwill. If the implied fair value of goodwill is less than the carrying value of goodwill, an impairment loss is recognized equal to the difference.

We determine the fair value of our reporting units using an income approach. Under the income approach, we determined fair value based on estimated discounted future cash flows of each reporting unit. Determining the fair value of a reporting unit is judgmental in nature and requires the use of significant estimates and assumptions, including revenue growth rates and EBITDA margins, discount rates and future market conditions, among others. The estimated fair value of our reporting units were based upon a projected EBITDA margin, which was anticipated to have a slight increase from 2011 to 2012, followed by year over year increases of approximately 150 to 300 basis points in 2013 through 2015, with stabilization expected in 2016. These projections are driven, in part, by anticipated industry growth rates, anticipated GDP, customer composition and historical performance. These cash flows were discounted using a weighted average cost of capital ranging from 14% to 16%, depending upon the size and risk profile of the reporting unit. We considered market information in assessing the reasonableness of the fair value under the income approach described above.

The results of step one of the goodwill impairment test, as of September 30, 2011, were as follows:


(Dollars in thousands)	Number of Reporting Units		Representing Goodwill of
No goodwill balance		13	$	—
Reporting units failing step one that continue to carry a goodwill balance		9		76,990
Fair value of reporting unit exceeds its carrying value by 1% - 20%		6		44,761
Fair value of reporting unit exceeds its carrying value by 20% - 40%		2		42,447
Fair value of reporting unit exceeds its carrying value by more than 40%		7		65,117

		37	$	229,315

Based upon a sensitivity analysis, a reduction of approximately 50 basis points of projected EBITDA in 2011 and beyond, assuming all other assumptions remain constant, would result in one additional reporting unit proceeding to step two of the analysis, and a further impairment of approximately $8.0 million.

Based upon a separate sensitivity analysis, a 50 basis point increase to the weighted average cost of capital would result in two additional reporting units proceeding to step two of the analysis, and a further impairment of approximately $13.0 million.

Given the current economic environment and the uncertainties regarding the impact on our business, there can be no assurance that the estimates and assumptions regarding the duration of the lack of significant new construction activity in the AEC industry, or the period or strength of recovery, made for purposes of our goodwill impairment testing as of September 30, 2011, will prove to be accurate predictions of the future. If our assumptions regarding forecasted EBITDA of certain reporting units are not achieved, we may be required to record additional goodwill impairment charges in future periods, whether in connection with our next annual impairment testing in the third quarter of 2012, or on an interim basis, if any such change constitutes a triggering event outside of the quarter when we regularly perform our annual goodwill impairment test. It is not possible at this time to determine if any such future impairment charge would result or, if it does, whether such charge would be material.

Income Taxes

Deferred tax assets and liabilities reflect temporary differences between the amount of assets and liabilities for financial and tax reporting purposes. Such amounts are adjusted, as appropriate, to reflect changes in tax rates expected to be in effect when the temporary differences reverse. A valuation allowance is recorded to reduce our deferred tax assets to the amount that is more likely than not to be realized. Changes in tax laws or accounting standards and methods may affect recorded deferred taxes in future periods.

When establishing a valuation allowance, we consider future sources of taxable income such as future reversals of existing taxable temporary differences, future taxable income exclusive of reversing temporary differences and carryforwards and tax planning strategies. A tax planning strategy is an action that: is prudent and feasible; an enterprise ordinarily might not take, but would take to prevent an operating loss or tax credit carryforward from expiring unused; and would result in realization of deferred tax assets. In the event we determine the deferred tax assets, more likely than not, will not be realized in the future, the valuation adjustment to the deferred tax assets will be charged to earnings in the period in which we make such a determination.

During 2011 and the first quarter of 2012, we determined that cumulative losses for the preceding twelve quarters constituted sufficient objective evidence (as defined by ASC 740-10) that a valuation allowance on certain deferred tax assets was needed. As of March 31, 2012, the valuation allowance against certain deferred tax assets was $70.5 million.

In future quarters, we will evaluate our results to determine whether we will generate sufficient taxable income to utilize our deferred tax assets, and whether a partial or full valuation allowance will be required. Should we generate sufficient taxable income, however, we may reverse a portion or all of the then current valuation allowance.

We calculate our current and deferred tax provision based on estimates and assumptions that could differ from the actual results reflected in income tax returns filed in subsequent years. Adjustments based on filed returns are recorded when identified.

Income taxes have not been provided on certain undistributed earnings of foreign subsidiaries because such earnings are considered to be permanently reinvested.

The amount of taxable income or loss we report to the various tax jurisdictions is subject to ongoing audits by federal, state and foreign tax authorities. Our estimate of the potential outcome of any uncertain tax issue is subject to management’s assessment of relevant risks, facts, and circumstances existing at that time. We use a more-likely-than-not threshold for financial statement recognition and measurement of tax positions taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. We record a liability for the difference between the benefit recognized and measured and tax position taken or expected to be taken on our tax return. To the extent that our assessment of such tax positions changes, the change in estimate is recorded in the period in which the determination is made. We report tax-related interest and penalties as a component of income tax expense.

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 interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements see our 2011 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Item 3.

Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

Historically, 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. Historically, we have entered into derivative instruments to manage our exposure to changes in interest rates. These instruments allow us to raise funds at floating rates and effectively swap them into fixed rates, without the exchange of the underlying principal amount.

As of March 31, 2012, we had $226.5 million of total debt, net of discount, 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 March 31, 2012, we had no 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 and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), are recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and our 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 Exchange Act) as of March 31, 2012. Based on that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer concluded that, as of March 31, 2012, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There were no changes to our internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended March 31, 2012 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
