NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(In thousands, except per share data or where otherwise noted)

(Unaudited)

1. Description of Business and Basis of Presentation

ARC Document Solutions, Inc. (“ARC Document Solutions”, “ARC” or the “Company”) provides specialized document management services to businesses of all types, with an emphasis on the non-residential segment of the architectural, engineering and construction (“AEC”) industry. ARC offers a variety of services including: Onsite Services, Digital Services, Color Services, and Traditional Reprographics Services. In addition, ARC also sells Equipment and Supplies. 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 and six months ended June 30, 2013 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2013.

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 accompanying notes should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes included in the Company’s 2012 Form 10-K.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In March 2013, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2013-05. The new guidance covers the accounting for a cumulative translation adjustment on the parent entity upon de-recognition of a subsidiary or group of assets within a foreign entity. This new guidance requires that the parent release any related cumulative translation adjustment into net income only if the sale or transfer results in the complete or substantially complete liquidation of the foreign entity in which the subsidiary or group of assets had resided. The adoption of ASU 2013-05 will be effective beginning January 1, 2014. The Company does not anticipate the adoption to materially impact the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

In February 2013, the FASB issued ASU 2013-02. This new guidance requires entities to present (either on the face of the income statement or in the notes) the effects on the line items of the income statement for amounts reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income. The adoption of ASU 2013-02 had no impact to the Company’s Condensed 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 economic characteristics, the Company is deemed to operate as a single reportable segment.

Net sales of the Company’s principal services and products were as follows:


	Three Months Ended June 30,				Six Months Ended June 30,
	2013		2012		2013		2012
*Service Sales*
Traditional reprographics	$	30,516	$	34,284	$	60,074	$	67,607

Subtotal⁽¹⁾		61,052		64,293		119,876		127,309
Onsite services⁽²⁾		30,576		27,490		59,552		54,146

Total services sales		91,628		91,783		179,428		181,455
*Equipment and supplies sales*		12,994		14,445		25,230		28,346

Total net sales	$	104,622	$	106,228	$	204,658	$	209,801

(1)	For comparison purposes this subtotal agrees with Reprographics Services historically reported prior to the 2012 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

(2)	Represents work done at the Company’s customer sites which includes Facilities Management (“FM”) and Managed Print Services (“MPS”).

Risk and Uncertainties

The Company generates the majority of its revenue from sales of services and products 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. Reduced activity (relative to historic levels) in the AEC industry would diminish demand for some of ARC’s services and products, and would therefore negatively affect revenues and have a material adverse effect on its business, operating results and financial condition.

As part of the Company’s growth strategy, ARC intends to continue to offer and grow a variety of service offerings that are relatively new to the Company. The success of the Company’s efforts will be affected by its ability to acquire new customers for the Company’s new service offerings as well as sell the new service offerings to existing customers. The Company’s inability to successfully market and execute these relatively new service offerings could significantly affect its business and reduce its long term revenue, resulting in an adverse effect on its 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 and six months ended June 30, 2013, stock options for 2.2 million and 3.8 million common shares, respectively, were excluded from the calculation of diluted net income attributable to ARC per common share because they were anti-dilutive. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2012, stock options for 2.3 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 and six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012 were calculated using the following common shares:

3. Restructuring Expenses

To ensure that the Company’s costs and resources were in line with demand for its current portfolio of services and products, management initiated a restructuring plan in the fourth quarter of 2012. Through June 30, 2013, the restructuring plan included the closure of 41 of the Company’s service centers, which represented more than 10% of its total number of service center locations. In addition, as part of the restructuring plan, the Company reduced headcount and middle management associated with its service center locations, streamlined the senior operational management team, and allocated more resources into growing sales categories such as managed print services. The reduction in headcount totaled approximately 300 full-time employees, which represented approximately 10% of the Company’s total workforce.

Restructuring expenses include employee termination costs, estimated lease termination and obligation costs, and other restructuring expenses. The Company’s restructuring efforts included service center closures in both 2012 and 2013. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2013, the Company closed four and eight service center locations, respectively, in addition to 33 closures in 2012. In total, the Company estimates that 2013 closures will result in restructuring expenses of less than $1.5 million.

The following table summarizes restructuring expenses incurred in the three and six months ended June 30, 2013.


	Three Months Ended June 30, 2013		Six Months Ended June 30, 2013

4. 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 assessed fair value of net tangible assets and identifiable intangible assets acquired is recorded as goodwill.

In accordance with ASC 350, Intangibles—Goodwill and Other, the Company assesses goodwill for impairment annually as of September 30, and more frequently if events and circumstances indicate that goodwill might be impaired.

At September 30, 2012, absent the fact that the Company assesses goodwill for impairment annually as of September 30, the Company determined that there were sufficient indicators to trigger a goodwill impairment analysis. The indicators included, among other factors: (1) the Company’s underperformance relative to its plan in the third quarter of 2012, (2) the performance against plan of reporting units which previously had goodwill impairment, (3) the economic environment, and (4) the continued decrease in large and small format printing at the Company’s service centers, which the Company management believes is partly due to customers’ increasing adoption of technology. The Company’s analysis indicated that seven of its 27 reporting units, six in the United States and one in Canada, had a goodwill impairment as of September 30, 2012. Accordingly, the Company recorded a pretax, non-cash charge for the three months ended September 30, 2012 to reduce the carrying value of goodwill by $16.7 million. Based upon its assessment, the Company concluded that no goodwill impairment triggering events have occurred during the first six months of 2013 that would require an additional impairment test.

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, the changing document and printing needs of the Company’s customers, and the uncertainties regarding the related 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 2012 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 2013, or on an interim basis, if any such change constitutes a triggering event (as defined under ASC 350, Intangibles—Goodwill and Other ) 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, 2012 through June 30, 2013 are summarized as follows:


	Gross Goodwill		Accumulated Impairment Loss		Net Carrying Amount
January 1, 2012	$	405,558	$	176,243	$	229,315
Additions		—		—		—
Goodwill impairment		—		16,707		(16,707	)

December 31, 2012		405,558		192,950		212,608
Additions		—		—		—
Goodwill impairment		—		—		—

June 30, 2013	$	405,558	$	192,950	$	212,608

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.

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 in North America. Beginning in January 2011, each of the Company’s North American 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 was accounted for on a prospective basis, resulting in increased amortization expense over the revised useful life of each trade name. There was no related impact for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013. The impact of this change in the three and six months ended June 30, 2012 was an increase in amortization expense of approximately $0.8 million and $3.2 million, respectively. Trade names were amortized using the straight-line method. The Company retired the original North American trade names in April 2012.

The following table sets forth the Company’s other intangible assets resulting from business acquisitions as of June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012 which continue to be amortized:


	June 30, 2013						December 31, 2012
	Gross Carrying Amount		Accumulated Amortization		Net Carrying Amount		Gross Carrying Amount		Accumulated Amortization		Net Carrying Amount
Amortizable other intangible assets
Customer relationships	$	97,805	$	67,372	$	30,433	$	97,926	$	64,024	$	33,902
Trade names and trademarks		20,365		19,777		588		20,350		19,754		596

	$	118,170	$	87,149	$	31,021	$	118,276	$	83,778	$	34,498

Based on current information, estimated future amortization expense of amortizable intangible assets for the remainder of the 2013 fiscal year, each of the subsequent four fiscal years and thereafter are as follows:


2013 (excluding the six months ended June 30, 2013)	$	3,157
2014		5,757
2015		5,214
2016		4,515
2017		3,999
Thereafter		8,379

	$	31,021

5. 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 $1.5 million and $1.2 million in relation to pretax income of $2.3 million and $2.7 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013, respectively. The income tax provision was primarily due to the impact of amortization of tax basis goodwill in a deferred tax liability position.

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, 2012 and the six months ended June 30, 2013, 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 June 30, 2013, the Company has a $78.4 million valuation allowance against certain of its deferred tax assets.

Based on the Company’s assessment, the remaining net deferred tax assets of $1.7 million as of June 30, 2013 are considered to be more likely than not to be realized. The valuation allowance of $78.4 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 $0.3 million as of June 30, 2013 included in other current assets in its condensed consolidated balance sheet primarily related to income tax refunds for prior years.

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, 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.

Note Repurchase. In July 2013, the company repurchased $7.0 million in aggregate principal amount of its 10.5% senior unsecured notes due December 15, 2016 in the open market.

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 2012 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 (as defined in the 2012 Credit Agreement). 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 and during the three and six months ended June 30, 2013, the Company did not have any outstanding debt under the 2012 Credit Agreement.

As of June 30, 2013, based on inventory, accounts receivable and unencumbered equipment of the Company’s subsidiaries organized in the US and Canada, the Company’s borrowing availability under the 2012 Credit Agreement was $50.0 million. Standby letters of credit totaling $2.5 million reduced the Company’s borrowing availability under the 2012 Credit Agreement to $47.5 million as of June 30, 2013.

Foreign Credit Agreement

In the third quarter of 2012, in conjunction with its Chinese operations, UNIS Document Solutions Co. Ltd. (“UDS”), the Company’s Chinese business venture with Beijing-based Unisplendour, entered into one-year revolving credit facilities. The facilities provide for a maximum credit amount of 20.0 million Chinese Yuan Renminbi, which translates to U.S. $3.2 million as of June 30, 2013. Draws on the facilities are limited to 30 day periods and incur a fee of 0.05% of the amount drawn and no additional interest is charged.

Other Notes Payable

Includes notes payable collateralized by equipment previously purchased and subordinated seller notes payable related to prior acquisitions.

7. 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 June 30, 2013, the Company has potential future earnout obligations for acquisitions consummated before the adoption of ASC 805, Business Combinations, of approximately $1.8 million through 2014 if predetermined financial targets are met or exceeded. 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 the present, 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. On March 15, 2013, the Company participated in a private mediation session with claimants’ counsel which did not result in resolution of the claim. A subsequent court status conference was held on July 8, 2013 with no resolution reached. Although the Company believes that it has meritorious defenses to the claim, the Company also believes that a loss is probable and recorded a liability of $0.9 million as of June 30, 2013. The case remains unresolved as of June 30, 2013. As such, the ultimate resolution of the claim could result in a loss different than the estimated loss recorded.

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 effect on its consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

8. Stock-Based Compensation

The Company’s 2005 Stock Plan (the “Stock Plan”) provides for the grant of incentive and non-statutory stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock purchase awards, restricted stock awards, and restricted stock units to employees, directors and consultants of the Company. The Stock Plan authorizes the Company to issue up to 5.0 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 June 30, 2013, 0.6 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.

During the six months ended June 30, 2013, the Company granted options to acquire a total of 1.5 million shares, respectively, of the Company’s common stock to certain key employees with an exercise price equal to the fair market value of the Company’s common stock on the date of grant. The stock options granted to those key employees vest annually over three to four years and expire 10 years after the date of grant.

The impact of stock-based compensation before income taxes on the interim Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations was $0.7 million and $0.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively.

The impact of stock-based compensation before income taxes on the interim Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations was $1.3 million and $0.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively.

As of June 30, 2013, total unrecognized compensation cost related to unvested stock-based payments totaled $5.7 million and is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 2.1 years.

9. Derivatives and Hedging Transactions

As of June 30, 2013 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 June 30, 2013, there is no amount deferred in accumulated other comprehensive income related to any swap transactions.

The following table summarizes the effect of the swap transaction on the interim Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012:

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 $14.4 million and $13.7 million as of June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, 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 Condensed 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 Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as of June 30, 2013 for its Notes and other notes payable is $200.0 million and $0.6 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 other notes payable is $202.0 million and $0.6 million, respectively, as of June 30, 2013.

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 loans. In lieu of providing separate audited financial statements for the Guarantor Subsidiaries, condensed consolidating financial information is presented below.

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 2012 Form 10-K and our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2013.

Business Summary

ARC Document Solutions, Inc. (“ARC Document Solutions,” “ARC,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) provides specialized document management services to businesses of all types, with an emphasis on the non-residential segment of the architecture, engineering and construction (“AEC”) industry.

We help our customers reduce their costs and improve efficiency in the use of their documents, improve their access and control over documents, and offer a wide variety of ways to print, produce, distribute, collaborate on and store documents.

In an effort to increase the visibility into the nature and changing dynamics of our consolidated business, effective with our 2012 annual report on Form 10-K we have categorized our service and product offerings to better report distinct sales recognized from our Onsite Services, Color Services, Digital Services, Traditional Reprographics Services, and Equipment and Supplies Sales. Under our previous revenue reporting structure, the categories of Traditional Reprographics, Color Services, and Digital Services presented below were combined and reported as “Reprographics Services.”

Onsite Services consists of placement, management, and optimization of print and imaging equipment in our customer’s facilities, relieving them of the burden of owning and managing print devices and print networks, and shifting their costs to a “per-use” basis. Onsite Services sales are driven by the ongoing print needs of our customers, and are less exposed to the episodic large-format printing needs associated with construction projects. This category has been renamed from “Facilities Management,” but the service offerings reported in this category remain unchanged.

Color Services consists of specialized color printing and finishing services to marketing departments, regional and national retailers, and our traditional AEC customer base. This includes services provided under our Riot Creative Imaging brand.

Digital Services consists of digital document management services of all kinds, including archive and information management (“AIM”), “digital shipping” and managed file transfer, software licensing, and technology consulting services.

Traditional Reprographics consists of the management, distribution, and print-on-demand of black and white construction drawings (frequently referred to as “blueprints”) and specification books, and derives a majority of its revenue from large-format black and white printing.

Equipment and Supplies consists of reselling printing, imaging, and related equipment to customers primarily in the AEC industry. This category remains unchanged from prior filings.

Traditional Reprographics, Color Services, and Digital Services were previously disclosed as “Reprographic Services” sales. We believe the updated presentation of our sales categories reflects the drivers of our consolidated sales and will provide greater insight into the opportunities and risk diversification provided by our portfolio of service and product offerings.

We are expanding our business beyond the services we have traditionally provided to the AEC industry and are currently focused on growing managed print services, digital color imaging, and technology-based document management services, as we believe the mix of services demanded by the AEC industry continues to shift toward document management at customer locations (represented primarily by our Onsite Services), and away from its historical emphasis on printing of large-format black and white construction drawings “offsite” in our service centers (represented primarily by our Traditional Reprographics).

We deliver our services through a nationwide network of service centers, regionally-based technical specialists, locally-based sales executives, and a national/regional sales force known as Global Solutions.

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

We believe ARC Document Solutions offers a distinct portfolio of services within the AEC industry that include its legacy reprographics business as well as its newer offerings in Onsite Services, Color Services, and Digital Services. Our customer base for these services, however, is still distinctly related to the AEC industry. Based on our analysis of our operating results, we estimate that sales to the AEC industry accounted for approximately 76% of our net sales for the six months ended June 30, 2013, with the remaining 24% consisting of sales to non-AEC industries.

Historically, our local service centers operated under their acquired brand to maintain the local brand identity. In response to changes in our markets, consisting primarily of the consolidation of our larger customers and prospects as noted above, we branded all of our operations “ARC” in 2011 to highlight the national and global scope and scale of our services. We refined our identity further at the end of 2012 by renaming our Delaware corporation “ARC Document Solutions, Inc.” Our non-AEC Color Services are 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 materials (paper, toner and other consumables), labor, and “indirect costs” which consist primarily of 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. Historically, our capital expenditure requirements have varied due to the cost and availability of capital lease lines of credit. During 2012 and through the first half of 2013, we were more frequently electing to purchase equipment for our facilities and onsite service installations rather than lease equipment due to the availability of cash to fund capital expenditures and the interest savings thereby. As we continue to foster our relationships with credit providers and obtain attractive lease rates, we may increasingly choose to lease rather than purchase equipment in the future.

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.

We believe customers are increasingly (1) adopting technology and digital document management practices, and (2) changing their workflow patterns and thereby their document and printing needs. While the construction market appeared to begin a slow recovery in 2012, we believe that there was a growing body of evidence by the third quarter of 2012 that demonstrated Traditional Reprographics sales, produced at our service centers, would not likely recover at the same pace due to these factors.

To ensure that the Company’s costs and resources were in line with demand for our current portfolio of services and products, management initiated a restructuring plan in October of 2012. The restructuring plan included the closure of 33 of the Company’s service centers in 2012, which represented more than 10% of our total number of service center locations, and an additional eight service centers in 2013. In addition, as part of the restructuring plan, we reduced headcount and middle management associated with our service center locations, streamlined the senior operational management team, and allocated more resources into growing sales categories such as managed print services and digital services. The reduction in headcount totaled approximately 300 full-time employees, which represented approximately 10% of our total workforce.

In the first six months of 2013, our gross margins improved by 190 basis points compared to the same period in 2012, which we attribute to our restructuring efforts initiated in October 2012, and suggests continuing year-over-year margin expansion in future periods.

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 attributable to ARC and adjusted earnings per share attributable to ARC shareholders for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012 to reflect the exclusion of amortization impact related specifically to the change in useful lives of trade names, restructuring expense, interest rate swap related costs, and changes in the valuation allowances related to certain deferred tax assets and other discrete tax items. This presentation facilitates a meaningful comparison of our operating results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012. We believe these charges were the result of the current macroeconomic environment, our capital restructuring, or other items which are not indicative of our actual operating performance.

We presented adjusted EBITDA in three and six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012 to exclude stock-based compensation expense and restructuring expense. The adjustment of EBITDA for non-cash adjustments 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 and Six Months Ended June 30, 2013 Compared to Three and Six Months Ended June 30, 2012

Net Sales

Net sales for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013 decreased by 1.5% and 2.5%, respectively, compared to the same period in 2012. The decrease in net sales was primarily due to lower sales activity in our Traditional Reprographics Services offering and Equipment and Supplies Sales, which were partially offset by higher sales activity in our Onsite and Color Services. Declines in Traditional Reprographics sales remain influenced by the continuing trend of a greater use of digital processes for document workflow and less reliance on print.

Traditional Reprographics. Year-over-year sales of Traditional Reprographics Services decreased $3.8 million or 11.0%, and $7.5 million or 11.1%, during the three and six months ended June 30, 2013, respectively. Revenues from Traditional Reprographics represented approximately 29% of total net sales for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013, as compared to approximately 32% during to the same periods in 2012. Overall Traditional Reprographics Services sales nationwide were negatively affected by the lower volume of construction drawings produced through large-format black and white printing, which was driven by the effect of technology adoption referenced above, as well as increased production of documents on customer sites as opposed to documents being produced at our service centers.

Color Services. Year-over-year sales of Color Services increased $1.3 million or 6.6%, and $2.2 million or 5.5%, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013, respectively. Revenues from Color Services comprised approximately 21% of our total net sales for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013, as compared to approximately 19% during the same periods in 2012. We attribute this increase to our continued focus on the expansion and enhancement of our Color Services offerings through our Riot Creative Imaging brand and to our AEC industry customer base.

Digital. Year-over-year sales of Digital Services decreased by $0.8 million or 8.6%, and $2.1 million or 11.2%, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013, respectively. Revenues from Digital Services sales slightly decreased to approximately 8% of total net sales for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013, as compared to approximately 9% for the same periods in 2012. We attribute this decrease in Digital Services to a decline in those services related to project-based work performed at our service centers. Currently, the revenue generating activities included in Digital Services consist of both construction project and non-construction project related services.

Onsite Services. Year-over-year sales of Onsite Services increased by $3.1 million or 11.2%, and $5.4 million or 10.0%, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013, respectively. Revenues from Onsite Services sales represented approximately 29% of total net sales for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013, compared to approximately 26% for the same periods in 2012. Onsite Services 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 accounts has grown to approximately 7,300 as of June 30, 2013, an increase of approximately 900 locations compared to June 30, 2012, due primarily to growth in new MPS placements. We believe Onsite Services is a high growth area for us as demonstrated by the adoption of our MPS services by large, multi-national firms in the AEC space over the past several years. We intend to continue the expansion of our Onsite Service offering through our regional sales force and through Global Services, our national accounts group.

Equipment and Supplies Sales. Year-over-year sales of Equipment and Supplies decreased by $1.5 million or 10.0%, and $3.1 million or 11.0%, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013, respectively. We experienced declines in both our operations in the United States and in China. Revenues from Equipment and Supplies Sales represented approximately 12% of total net sales for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013, compared to approximately 14% for the same periods in 2012. The decrease in Equipment and Supplies Sales in the United States was driven primarily by vendor promotions offered to our customers in 2012, as well as a large non-recurring equipment order in 2012. The decrease in Equipment and Supplies sales from UNIS Document Solutions Co. Ltd (“UDS”), our Chinese business venture, was due to several large non-recurring equipment orders in 2012. To date, the Chinese market has shown a preference for owning print and imaging related equipment as opposed to using equipment through an onsite services arrangement. Chinese operations had sales of equipment and supplies of $5.3 million and $9.3 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013, as compared to $5.9 million and $10.9 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2012.

Gross Profit

During the three months ended June 30, 2013, gross profit and gross profit margin increased to $35.6 million, and 34.0%, compared to $33.8 million, and 31.8%, during the same period in 2012, on a sales decline of $1.6 million.

During the six months ended June 30, 2013, gross profit and gross profit margin increased to $68.0 million, and 33.2%, compared to $65.6 million, and 31.3%, during the same period in 2012, on a sales decline of $5.1 million.

We were able to achieve expansion of our gross margins of 220 and 190 basis points on a sales declines of 1.5% and 2.5% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013, respectively, due primarily to a combination of: (1) the closure or merging of underperforming service centers, (2) the reduction in labor costs resulting from our restructuring plan initiated in the fourth quarter of 2012, and (3) ongoing margin expansion initiatives in 2013. Overall, direct labor as a percentage of sales decreased 150 and 140 basis points for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013, respectively, compared to the same time periods in 2012. Overhead costs for the three and six months ended 2013 decreased slightly compared to the same time periods in 2012, due to savings from facilities closures and related cost reductions in response to the declining sales in our service centers. We believe the savings from the restructuring plan are sustainable, and we believe the effect of these measures should result in continued margin expansion.

A shift in our business mix also contributed to the year-over-year increase in gross margins for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013. Due to a decline in lower-margin equipment and supplies sales, material costs as a percentage of consolidated sales for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013 were 60 and 40 basis points lower, respectively, as compared to the same periods in 2012.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses

The increase of $0.9 million and $1.2 million in selling, marketing, general and administrative expenses, during the three and six months ended June 30, 2013, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2012, were primarily due to an increase in sales and marketing expenses. The increase in sales and marketing expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2013 was partially offset by cost reduction programs initiated in 2012.

General and administrative expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2013 increased $0.2 million or 1.4%, compared to the same period in 2012, which was primarily due to an increase in both accrued legal expenses and accrued incentive bonuses due to an improvement in the Company’s financial performance in 2013. For the six months ended June 30, 2013, general and administrative expenses decreased $0.7 million or 2.6% compared to the same period in 2012, which was primarily driven by the decrease in our headcount in response to the decline in overall sales, partially offset by an increase in accrued incentive bonuses in 2013.

Year-over-year sales and marketing expenses increased $0.7 million and $2.0 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013, driven primarily by the hiring of new sales personnel and the training of existing sales personnel to implement specific sales initiatives, such as Riot Creative Imaging, and our MPS offering.

Amortization of Intangibles

Amortization of intangibles of $1.7 million and $3.4 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013, respectively, decreased by $1.1 million or 39.4%, and $4.0 million or 53.4%, respectively, compared to same periods in 2012, primarily due to phasing out the use of local trade names in April 2012.

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 use of the original brand names will remain in circulation to ensure business recognition and the retention of existing customers. Once the “legacy” trade names are fully transitioned to the ARC name and removed from the marketplace, they will quickly lose value. 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.

Goodwill Impairment

We assess goodwill at least annually for impairment as of September 30 or more frequently if events and circumstances indicate that goodwill might be impaired. Goodwill impairment testing is performed at the reporting unit level.

At September 30, 2012, we performed our annual goodwill impairment analysis, which indicated that seven of our 27 reporting units, six in the United States and one in Canada, had goodwill impairments as of September 30, 2012. Accordingly, we recorded a pretax, non-cash charge for the three months ended September 30, 2012 to reduce the carrying value of goodwill by $16.7 million. There was no goodwill impairment charge recorded during the three or six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively.

See “Critical Accounting Policies” section for further information related to our goodwill impairment test.

Restructuring expense

Restructuring expenses for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013 totaled $0.6 million and $1.1 million, respectively, primarily consisted of estimated lease termination and obligation costs.

For further information, please see Note 3 “Restructuring Expenses” to our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

Interest Expense, Net

Net interest expense was $6.1 million and $12.1 million during the three and six months ended June 30, 2013, respectively, compared to $7.3 million and $14.7 million, in the same periods in 2012. The decrease was driven by a reduction in interest expense reclassified from accumulated other comprehensive income into earnings as a result of the previously terminated interest rate swap agreement on December 1, 2010. The amortization period for the interest rate swap expense ended in December of 2012, therefore had no impact in 2013 compared to a $1.0 million and $2.3 million interest expense in the three and six months ended June 30, 2012, respectively.

Income Taxes

We recorded an income tax provision of $1.5 million and $1.2 million in relation to pretax income of $2.3 million and $2.7 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013, respectively, and an income tax provision of $0.6 million and $1.9 million in relation to pretax loss of $0.3 million and $3.8 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2012.

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2013, our income tax provision was primarily due to the impact of amortization of tax basis goodwill in a deferred tax liability position.

Noncontrolling Interest

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

Net Income (Loss) Attributable to ARC

Net income attributable to ARC was $0.7 million and $1.1 million during the three and six months ended June 30, 2013, respectively, as compared to net loss attributable to ARC of $1.1 million and $6.0 million, respectively, in the same periods in 2012. The increase in net income attributable to ARC in 2013 versus prior year periods is primarily due to the increase in gross margins and reduction in amortization expense, partially offset by the increase in selling, general and administrative expenses and restructuring expenses in 2013, as noted above.

EBITDA

EBITDA margin increased to 16.2% and 15.6% during the three and six months ended June 30, 2013, respectively, as compared to 15.7% and 15.3% during the same periods in 2012. Excluding the effect of stock-based compensation and restructuring expense, adjusted EBITDA margin increased to 17.5% and 16.7% during the three and six months ended June 30, 2013, respectively, as compared to 16.1% and 15.8% during the same periods in 2012. The increases in EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA were due primarily to the increase in gross profit as a result of the restructuring plan initiated in 2012 as well as ongoing margin expansion initiatives.

Impact of Inflation

We believe 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 recent historical uses of cash have been for ongoing operations, payment of principal and interest on outstanding debt obligations, and capital expenditures. In July 2013, we repurchased $7.0 million in aggregate principal amount of our 10.5% senior unsecured notes due December 15, 2016 in the open market using available cash. Total cash as of June 30, 2013 was $32.4 million. Of this amount, $17.3 million was held in foreign countries, with $15.6 million held in China.

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 June 30,						Six Months Ended June 30,
(In thousands)	2013			2012			2013			2012
Net cash provided by operating activities	$	8,110		$	4,455		$	19,991		$	16,850
Net cash used in investing activities	$	(4,248	)	$	(5,832	)	$	(9,503	)	$	(9,446	)
Net cash used in financing activities	$	(1,825	)	$	(5,054	)	$	(6,296	)	$	(9,581	)

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 six months ended June 30, 2013 over the same period in 2012 was primarily due the increase in our net income driven by our expansion of EBITDA margins as described above, in addition to an income tax refund of $3.8 million received in 2013 related to our 2009 consolidated federal income tax return, and the timing of accounts payable and accrued expenses, which were offset, in part, by the increase of accounts receivable and cash payments of $2.6 million of related to our restructuring plan. Days sales outstanding (“DSO”) increased to 54 days as of June 30, 2013 compared to 51 days as of June 30, 2012 primarily due to the timing of customer payments in the second quarter of 2013. It is typical for our DSO to temporarily increase during the second quarter due to the increased revenue in May and June when compared with revenue in November and December.

Investing Activities

Net cash used in investing activities was primarily related to capital expenditures. We incurred capital expenditures totaling of $10.0 million and $9.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively. The increase in capital expenditures is primarily due to growth in our onsite services, and due to the fact that we more often elected to purchase rather than lease new equipment.

Financing Activities

Net cash of $6.3 million used in financing activities during the six months ended June 30, 2013 primarily relates to scheduled payments on our debt agreements and capital leases.

Our cash position, working capital, and debt obligations as of June 30, 2013, and December 31, 2012, 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)	June 30, 2013		December 31, 2012
Cash and cash equivalents	$	32,377	$	28,021
Working capital	$	48,225	$	40,650
Borrowings from senior secured credit facility and Notes (1)	$	197,184	$	196,852
Other debt obligations		23,599		25,673

Total debt obligations	$	220,783	$	222,525

(1)	Notes, net of discount of $2,816 and $3,148 at June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively.

The increase of $7.6 million in working capital in 2013 was primarily due to an increase in cash of $4.4 million, an increase in accounts receivable of $11.3 million that was offset by the increase in accounts payable of $3.6 million and accrued payroll and payroll-related expenses of $3.1 million. The increase in cash was primarily due to the increase in our net income driven by our expansion of EBITDA margins, as described above, an income tax refund of $3.8 million received in 2013 related to our 2009 consolidated federal income tax return, partially offset by $2.6 million of cash payments related to our restructuring plan. The increase in accounts receivable was driven by higher revenue in the second quarter of 2013 as compared to the fourth quarter of 2012. The increase in accounts payable and accrued payroll expenses was due to the timing of payments and accrued incentive bonuses in 2013. To manage our working capital, we chiefly 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 $32.4 million, availability under our revolving credit facility and additional cash flows provided by operations should be adequate to cover the next twelve months of 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 June 30, 2013. See “Debt Obligations” section for further information related to our current credit facility.

We generate the majority of our revenue from sales of services and products 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 and residential construction spending. Additionally, a 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 that credit constraints in the financial markets could result in a decrease in, or cancellation of, existing business, could limit new business, and could negatively affect our ability to collect our accounts receivable on a timely basis.

In July 2013, we repurchased $7.0 million in aggregate principal amount of our 10.5% senior unsecured notes due December 15, 2016 in the open market. The repurchase was intended to reduce ARC’s long-term debt and annual interest obligations, and made no use of our $50.0 million revolving credit facility which remains undrawn. We may consider additional steps to further reduce our debt and interest obligations in the future provided conditions favor the Company.

While we have not been actively seeking growth through acquisition during the last three years, 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”).

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.

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, 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 2012 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 (as defined in the 2012 Credit Agreement). 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 and during the six months ended June 30, 2013, we did not have any outstanding debt under the 2012 Credit Agreement.

As of June 30, 2013, based on inventory, accounts receivable and unencumbered equipment of our subsidiaries organized in the US and Canada, our borrowing availability under the 2012 Credit Agreement was $50.0 million. Standby letters of credit totaling $2.5 million reduced our borrowing availability under the 2012 Credit Agreement to $47.5 million as of June 30, 2013.

Foreign Credit Agreement

In the third quarter of 2012, UDS, ARC’s Chinese operations, entered into one-year revolving credit facilities. The facilities provide for a maximum credit amount of 20.0 million Chinese Yuan Renminbi, which translates to U.S. $3.2 million as of June 30, 2013. Draws on the facilities are limited to 30 day periods and incur a fee of 0.05% of the amount drawn and no additional interest is charged. As of June 30, 2013, there was $1.8 million in outstanding debt drawn on our foreign credit facilities.

Capital Leases

As of June 30, 2013, we had $21.2 million of capital lease obligations outstanding, with a weighted average interest rate of 7.5% and maturities between 2013 and 2018.

Other Notes Payable

As of June 30, 2013, we had $0.4 million of notes payable outstanding, with an interest rate of 6.5% and maturities in 2016. These notes are collateralized by equipment previously purchased.

As of June 30, 2013, we had $0.2 million of seller notes outstanding, with a weighted average interest rate of 6.0% and maturities between 2013 and 2014. These notes were issued in connection with prior acquisitions.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

As of June 30, 2013, we did not have any off-balance-sheet arrangements as defined in Item 303(a)(4)(ii) of Regulation S-K.

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 June 30, 2013, we have potential future earnout obligations for acquisitions consummated before the adoption of ASC 805, Business Combinations, of approximately $1.8 million through 2014 if predetermined financial targets are met or exceeded. 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 the present—filed an action against us 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. On March 15, 2013, we participated in a private mediation session with claimants’ counsel which did not result in resolution of the claim. A subsequent court status conference was held on July 8, 2013 with no resolution reached. Although we believe that we have meritorious defenses to the claim, we also believe that a loss is probable and recorded a liability of $0.9 million as of June 30, 2013. The case remains unresolved as of June 30, 2013. As such, the ultimate resolution of the claim could result in a loss different than the estimated loss recorded.

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 effect on our 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.

In accordance with ASC 350, Intangibles – Goodwill and Other, 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, 2012, absent the fact that we assess goodwill for impairment annually as of September 30, we determined that there were sufficient indicators to trigger a goodwill impairment analysis. The indicators included, among other factors: (1) our underperformance relative to our plan in the third quarter of 2012 (2) the performance against plan of reporting units which previously had goodwill impairment (3) the economic environment, and (4) the continued decrease in large and small format printing at our service centers, which our management believes is partly due to customers’ increasing adoption of technology. Our analysis indicated that seven of our 27 reporting units, six in the United States and one in Canada, had a goodwill impairment as of September 30, 2012. Accordingly, we recorded a pretax, non-cash charge for the three months ended September 30, 2012 to reduce the carrying value of goodwill by $16.7 million. Based upon our assessment, we concluded that no goodwill impairment triggering events have occurred during the first six months of 2013 that would require an additional impairment test.

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.

Our projections are driven, in part, by industry data gathered from third parties, including projected growth rates of the AEC industry by segment (i.e. residential and non-residential) and anticipated GDP growth rates, as well as company-specific data such as estimated composition of our customer base (i.e. non-AEC vs. AEC, residential vs. non- residential), historical revenue trends, and EBITDA margin performance of our reporting units. Our revenue projections for each of ARC’s reporting units include the estimated respective customer composition for each reporting unit, year-to-date revenue at the time of the goodwill impairment analysis, and projected growth rates for the related customer types. Although we rely on a variety of internal and external sources in projecting revenue, our relative reliance on each source or trend changes from year to year. In 2012, we noted a continued divergence between our historic revenue growth rates and AEC non-residential construction growth rates, as well as the “dilution” of traditional reprographics as the Company’s dominant business line. Therefore, we increased our reliance upon internal sources for our short-term and long-term revenue forecasts. Once the forecasted revenue was established for each of the reporting units based on the process noted above, using the current year EBITDA margin as a base line, we forecasted future EBITDA margins. In general, our EBITDA margins are significantly affected by (1) revenue trends and (2) cost management initiatives. Revenue trends impact our EBITDA margins because a significant portion of our cost of sales are considered relatively fixed therefore an increase in forecasted revenue (particularly when combined with any cost management or productivity enhancement initiatives) would result in meaningful gross margin expansion. Similarly, a significant portion of our selling, general, and administrative expenses are considered fixed. Hence, in forecasting EBITDA margins, significant reliance was placed on the historical impact of revenue trends on EBITDA margin.

The estimated fair value of our reporting units were based upon a projected EBITDA margin, which was anticipated to have a slight increase from 2012 to 2013, followed by year over year increases of approximately 150 to 200 basis points in 2014 through 2016, with stabilization expected in 2017. These cash flows were discounted using a weighted average cost of capital ranging from 13% to 15%, 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, 2012, were as follows:


(Dollars in thousands)	Number of Reporting Units		Representing Goodwill of
No goodwill balance		11	$	—
Reporting units failing step one that continue to carry a goodwill balance		5		24,094
Fair value of reporting unit exceeds its carrying value by 11%—20%		2		28,196
Fair value of reporting unit exceeds its carrying value by 20%—40%		4		91,180
Fair value of reporting unit exceeds its carrying value by more than 40%		5		69,138

Based upon a sensitivity analysis, a reduction of approximately 50 basis points of projected EBITDA in 2012 and beyond, assuming all other assumptions remain constant, no additional reporting units would proceed to step two of the analysis, although the change would result in an additional impairment charge of approximately $2.3 million.

Based upon a separate sensitivity analysis, a 50 basis point increase to the weighted average cost of capital would result in no additional reporting units proceeding to step two of the analysis, although the change would result in a further impairment of approximately $2.0 million.

Given the current economic environment and the changing document and printing needs of our customers and the uncertainties regarding the effect on our business, there can be no assurance that the estimates and assumptions made for purposes of our goodwill impairment testing in 2012 will prove to be accurate predictions of the future. If our assumptions, including 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 2013, or on an interim basis, if any such change constitutes a triggering event (as defined under ASC 350, Intangibles – Goodwill and Other ) 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.

As of June 30, 2011, we determined that cumulative losses for the preceding twelve quarters constituted sufficient objective evidence (as defined by ASC 740-10, Income Taxes) that a valuation allowance was needed. As of June 30, 2013, the valuation allowance against certain deferred tax assets was $78.4 million.

In future quarters we will continue to evaluate our historical results for the preceding twelve quarters and our future projections to determine whether we will generate sufficient taxable income to utilize our deferred tax assets, and whether a partial or full valuation allowance is still 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 2012 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

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 June 30, 2013, we had $220.8 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 June 30, 2013, 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 Exchange Act are recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and 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 Securities Exchange Act of 1934) as of June 30, 2013. Based on that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer concluded that as of June 30, 2013, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There were no significant changes to internal control over financial reporting during the three months ended June 30, 2013, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
