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”) is the nation's leading document solutions provider for the architectural, engineering and construction (“AEC”) industry while also providing document solutions to businesses of all types. 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 months ended March 31, 2014 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2014.

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 2013 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 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 Company's Chief Executive Officer and Chief Operating Officer, who, acting jointly, are deemed to be the chief operating decision makers. Because its 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 March 31,
	2014		2013
Service Sales
Traditional reprographics	$	28,325	$	29,558

Total net sales	$	100,373	$	100,036


(1)	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 to 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 months ended March 31, 2014, stock options for 1.2 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 months ended March 31, 2013, stock options for 3.8 million common shares were excluded from the calculation of diluted net income attributable to ARC per common share because they were anti-dilutive.

Basic and diluted earnings per share for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013 were calculated using the following common shares:



	Three Months Ended March 31,
	2014	2013
Weighted average common shares outstanding—basic	45,990	45,762
Effect of dilutive impact on equity-based compensation awards	792	29
Weighted average common shares outstanding—diluted	46,782	45,791

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. Restructuring activities associated with the plan concluded in the fourth quarter of 2013. Through December 31, 2013, the restructuring plan included the closure or downsizing of 56 of the Company’s service centers, which represented more than 25% 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 Onsite services. The reduction in headcount totaled approximately 300 full-time employees, which represented approximately 10% of the Company’s total workforce. To date, the Company has incurred $6.3 million of expense related to its restructuring plan.

Restructuring expenses include employee termination costs, estimated lease termination and obligation costs, and other restructuring expenses. Restructuring expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2014 primarily consisted of revised estimated lease termination and obligation costs resulting from facilities closed in 2013.

The following table summarizes restructuring expenses incurred in the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013:



	Three Months Ended March 31,
	2014		2013
Employee termination costs	$	—	$	11
Estimated lease termination and obligation costs	367		407
Other restructuring expenses	116		54
Total restructuring expenses	$	483	$	472

The changes in the restructuring liability from December 31, 2013 through March 31, 2014 are summarized as follows:



	Three Months Ended March 31, 2014
Balance, December 31, 2013	$	539
Restructuring expenses	483
Payments	(303		)
Balance, March 31, 2014	$	719

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, 2013, the Company assessed goodwill for impairment and determined that goodwill was not impaired.

Based upon its assessment, the Company concluded that no goodwill impairment triggering events have occurred during the first quarter of 2014 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 2013 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 2014, 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.

There was no change to the carrying amount of goodwill from January 1, 2013 through March 31, 2014.

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.

The following table sets forth the Company’s other intangible assets resulting from business acquisitions as of March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013 which continue to be amortized:



	March 31, 2014						December 31, 2013
	Gross Carrying Amount		Accumulated Amortization		Net Carrying Amount		Gross Carrying Amount		Accumulated Amortization		Net Carrying Amount
Amortizable other intangible assets
Customer relationships	$	97,690	$	71,934	$	25,756	$	97,775	$	70,495	$	27,280
Trade names and trademarks	20,368		19,808		560		20,375		19,799		576
	$	118,058	$	91,742	$	26,316	$	118,150	$	90,294	$	27,856

Based on current information, estimated future amortization expense of amortizable intangible assets for the remainder of the 2014 fiscal year, each of the subsequent four fiscal years and thereafter are as follows:



2014 (excluding the three months ended March 31, 2014)	$	4,238
2015	5,208
2016	4,509
2017	3,994
2018	3,628
Thereafter	4,739
	$	26,316

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 $0.7 million in relation to pretax income of $2.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2014. 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. As of June 30, 2011, the Company determined that cumulative losses for the preceding twelve quarters constituted sufficient objective evidence (as defined by ASC 740-10) that a valuation allowance on certain deferred assets was needed. As of March 31, 2014, the Company has a $84.3 million valuation allowance against certain of its deferred tax assets.

Based on the Company’s assessment, the remaining net deferred tax assets of $1.6 million as of March 31, 2014, which relate to foreign entities, are considered more likely than not to be realized. The valuation allowance of $84.3 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 $0.2 million as of March 31, 2014 included in other current assets in its condensed consolidated balance sheet primarily related to income tax refunds for prior years.

6. Long-Term Debt

Long-term debt consists of the following:



	March 31, 2014			December 31, 2013
Term loan credit agreement maturing 2018, net of original issue discount of $3,775 and $4,000; 6.25% interest rate at March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively.	$	191,225		$	196,000

Term Loan Credit Agreement

On December 20, 2013, the Company entered into a Term Loan Credit Agreement (the “Term Loan Credit Agreement”) among the Company, as borrower, JPMorgan Chase Bank., N.A, as administrative agent and as collateral agent, and the lenders party thereto.

The credit facility provided under the Term Loan Credit Agreement consists of an initial term loan facility of $200.0 million , the entirety of which was disbursed in order to pay for the purchase of the Company's then outstanding 10.5% senior unsecured notes due 2016 (the “Notes”) that were accepted under a cash tender offer and the subsequent redemption of the remaining outstanding Notes and to pay associated fees and expenses in connection with the cash tender offer and redemption. The Company has the right to request increases to the aggregate amount of term loans by an amount not to exceed $50.0 million in the aggregate.

By refinancing the Notes with this Term Loan Credit Agreement, the Company was able to reduce the effective interest rate on its long-term debt from 10.5% (or $21.0 million of interest per year on $200.0 million of principal) to 6.25% (or $12.5 million of interest per year on $200.0 million of principal). In addition, it moved the principal portion of the Company's long-term debt into a structure that is efficiently pre-payable without a premium. This allows the Company to use its cash flow to efficiently deliver value to the Company's stockholders.

The Term Loan Credit Agreement maturity date, with respect to the initial $200.0 million term loan, is December 20, 2018. Under the Term Loan Credit Agreement, the Company is required to make regularly scheduled principal payments of $2.5 million each quarter, with all remaining unpaid principal due at maturity. During the three months ended March 31, 2014, the Company made its scheduled principal payment of $2.5 million and voluntarily prepaid its $2.5 million scheduled principal payment due June 30, 2014.

The term loan extended under the Term Loan Credit Agreement can be maintained in different tranches consisting of Eurodollar loans or as base rate loans. It is expected that the borrowings under the Term Loan Credit Agreement will be maintained in Eurodollars and therefore will bear interest, for any interest period, at a rate per annum equal to (i) the higher of (A) the LIBOR rate for U.S. dollar deposits for a period equal to the applicable interest period as determined by the administrative agent in accordance with the Term Loan Credit Agreement and (B) with respect to the initial term loans only, 1.00%, plus (ii) an applicable margin of 5.25%

The Company will pay certain recurring fees with respect to the credit facility, including administration fees to the administrative agent.

In accordance with the Term Loan Credit Agreement, the Company is required to maintain an Interest Expense Coverage Ratio (as defined in the Term Loan Credit Agreement) greater than or equal to 2.00:1.00 as of the end of each fiscal quarter. In addition, the Company is required to maintain a Total Leverage Ratio less than or equal to (i) 4.50:1.00 for any fiscal quarter ending through December 31, 2014; (ii) 4.25:1.00 for any fiscal quarter ending between March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2015; (iii) 4.00:1.00 for any fiscal quarter ending between March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2016; (iv) 3.75:1.00 for any fiscal quarter ending between March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2017; and (v) 3.50:1.00 for any fiscal quarter ending March 31, 2018 and thereafter. The Company was in compliance with the Term Loan Credit Agreement covenants as of March 31, 2014.

Subject to certain exceptions, the term loan extended under the Term Loan Credit Agreement is subject to customary mandatory prepayment provisions with respect to: the net cash proceeds from certain asset sales; the net cash proceeds from certain issuances or incurrences of debt (other than debt permitted to be incurred under the terms of the Term Loan Credit Agreement); a portion (with stepdowns based upon the achievement of a financial covenant linked to the total leverage ratio) of annual excess cash flow of the Company and certain of its subsidiaries, and with such required prepayment amount to be reduced dollar-for-dollar by the amount of voluntary prepayments of term loans made with internally generated funds; and, the net cash proceeds in excess of a certain amount from insurance recovery (other than business interruption insurance) and condemnation events of the Company and certain of its subsidiaries, subject to certain reinvestment rights.

The Term Loan Credit Agreement contains customary representations and warranties, subject to limitations and exceptions, and customary covenants restricting the ability (subject to various exceptions) of the Company and certain of its subsidiaries to: incur additional indebtedness (including guarantee obligations); incur liens; engage in mergers or other fundamental changes; sell certain property or assets; pay dividends of other distributions; consummate acquisitions; make investments, loans and advances; prepay certain indebtedness; change the nature of their business; engage in certain transactions with affiliates; and, incur restrictions on the ability of the Company’s subsidiaries to make distributions, advances and asset transfers. In addition, under the Term Loan Credit Agreement the Company will be required to comply with a specific leverage ratio and a minimum interest coverage ratio.

The Term Loan Credit Agreement contains customary events of default, including with respect to: nonpayment of principal, interest, fees or other amounts; material inaccuracy of a representation or warranty when made; failure to perform or observe covenants; cross-default to other material indebtedness; bankruptcy and insolvency events; inability to pay debts; monetary judgment defaults; actual or asserted invalidity or impairment of any definitive loan documentation; and a change of control.

The obligations of the Company under the Term Loan Credit Agreement are guaranteed by each United States domestic subsidiary of the Company. The Term Loan Credit Agreement and any interest rate protection and other hedging arrangements provided by any lender party to the Senior Secured Credit Facilities or any affiliate of such a lender are secured on a first priority basis by a perfected security interest in substantially all of the Company’s and each guarantor’s assets (subject to certain exceptions), except that such lien is second priority in the case of inventory, receivables and related assets that are subject to a first priority security interest under the 2012 Credit Agreement (as defined below).

2012 Credit Agreement

On January 27, 2012, the Company entered into a Credit Agreement (the “2012 Credit Agreement”). The 2012 Credit Agreement was amended on December 20, 2013 in connection with the Company's entry into the Term Loan Credit Agreement for the principal purpose of making the 2012 Credit Agreement consistent with the Term Loan Credit Agreement. The 2012 Credit Agreement, as amended, provides revolving loans in an aggregate principal amount not to exceed $40.0 million with a Canadian sublimit of $5.0 million, based on inventory and accounts receivable of the Company’s subsidiaries organized in the US ("United States Domestic Subsidiaries") and Canada ("Canadian Domestic Subsidiaries") that meet certain eligibility criteria. The 2012 Credit Agreement has a maturity date of January 27, 2017.

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 $8.0 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 the Company’s and its United States Domestic Subsidiaries’ assets. The Company's United States Domestic Subsidiaries have also guaranteed all of the Company’s obligations under the 2012 Credit Agreement. The obligations of the Company’s Canadian Domestics Subsidiaries which are borrowers under the 2012 Credit Agreement are secured by substantially all of the assets of the Company’s Canadian Domestic Subsidiaries.

As of and during the three months ended March 31, 2014, the Company did not have any outstanding debt under the 2012 Credit Agreement, other than contingent reimbursement obligations for undrawn standby letters of credit described below that were issued under the 2012 Credit Agreement.

As of March 31, 2014, based on inventory and accounts receivable of the Company’s subsidiaries organized in the US and Canada, the Company’s borrowing availability under the 2012 Credit Agreement was $40.0 million. Standby letters of credit totaling $2.5 million reduced the Company’s borrowing availability under the 2012 Credit Agreement to $37.5 million as of March 31, 2014.

Foreign Credit Agreement

In the third quarter of 2013, in conjunction with its Chinese operations, UNIS Document Solutions Co. Ltd. (“UDS”), the Company’s Chinese business venture with Beijing-based Unisplendour, entered into a revolving credit facility with a term of 18 months. The facility provides for a maximum credit amount of 20.0 million Chinese Yuan Renminbi, which translates to U.S. $3.2 million as of March 31, 2014. Draws on the facility 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 March 31, 2014, 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. Subsequent to the mediation session, the mediator issued a proposal that was accepted by both parties. The Company awaits court approval of the settlement. The Company recorded a liability of $0.9 million as of March 31, 2014 related to the claim, which represents management's best estimate of the probable outcome based on information available. The case remains unresolved as of March 31, 2014. 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 March 31, 2014, 0.8 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 three months ended March 31, 2014, the Company granted options to acquire a total of 48 thousand shares of the Company’s common stock to its Chief Operating Officer with an exercise price equal to the fair market value of the Company’s common stock on the date of grant. These stock options will vest annually over four years and expire 10 years after the date of grant. In addition, the Company granted 144 thousand shares of restricted stock to the Company's Chief Executive Officer at a price per share equal to the closing price of the Company's common stock on the respective date the restricted stock was granted. The restricted stock vests annually over four years after the date of grant.

The impact of stock-based compensation before income taxes on the interim Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations was $0.8 million and $0.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively.

As of March 31, 2014, total unrecognized compensation cost related to unvested stock-based payments totaled $4.2 million and is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 2.0 years.

9. Fair Value Measurements

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

Cash equivalents: Cash equivalents are time deposits with maturity of three months or less when purchased, which are highly liquid and readily convertible to cash. Cash equivalents reported in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets were $11.1 million and $12.9 million as of March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, 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 March 31, 2014 for borrowings under its Term Loan Credit Agreement and other notes payable is $195.0 million and $0.3 million, respectively. The Company has determined, utilizing observable market quotes, that the fair value of its Term Loan Credit Agreement and other notes payable is $197.7 million and $0.3 million, respectively, as of March 31, 2014.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

The following discussion should be read in conjunction with our interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and the related notes and other financial information appearing elsewhere in this report as well as Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations included in our 2013 Form 10-K and this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2014.

Business Summary

ARC Document Solutions, Inc. (“ARC Document Solutions,” “ARC,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) is the nation's leading document solutions provider for the architectural, engineering and construction (“AEC”) industry while also providing document solutions to businesses of all types.

We help our customers reduce their costs and improve productivity 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.

We have categorized our service and product offerings to report distinct sales recognized from our Onsite Services, Color Services, Digital Services, Traditional Reprographics Services, and Equipment and Supplies Sales.

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.

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 archiving 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. It 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.

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, technology-based document management services, and digital color imaging, 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 revenue line), 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 revenue line). This belief is supported by the fact that our Onsite Services in the first quarter of 2014 are 31% of our total sales as compared to 28% for Traditional Reprographics. Onsite Services is now our largest service offering and continues to grow at a rate of more than 8% on a year-over-year basis. In comparison, our revenue mix for the first quarter of 2013 consisted of 30% of our sales coming from Traditional Reprographics, and 29% of our sales coming from Onsite Services.

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 we offer a distinct portfolio of services within the AEC industry that include our legacy reprographics business as well as our newer offerings in Onsite Services, Color Services, and Digital Services. Our customer base for these services, however, is still primarily the AEC industry. Based on our analysis of our operating results, we estimate that sales to the AEC industry accounted for approximately 77% of our net sales for the three months ended March 31, 2014, with the remaining 23% consisting of sales to non-AEC industries.

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 service center ('offsite') 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 most 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 are increasingly choosing to lease rather than purchase equipment.

Research and development costs consist mainly of the salaries, leased building space, and computer equipment that comprises 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 there were some indications that the non-residential construction market strengthened in 2012, we believe that there was a growing body of evidence by the third quarter of 2012 that demonstrated Traditional Reprographics sales 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 that was completed by the fourth quarter of 2013. The restructuring plan included the closure or downsizing 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 23 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 Onsite Services and Digital Services. The reduction in headcount totaled approximately 300 full-time employees, which represented approximately 10% of our total workforce.

In the three months of 2014, our gross margins improved by 140 basis points compared to the same period in 2013, which we attribute primarily 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 months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013 to reflect the exclusion of restructuring expense 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 months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013. 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 months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013 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.

The following is a reconciliation of cash flows provided by operating activities to EBIT, EBITDA, and net income attributable to ARC Document Solutions, Inc. shareholders:



	Three Months Ended March 31,
(In thousands)	2014			2013
Cash flows provided by operating activities	$	7,714		$	11,881
Changes in operating assets and liabilities, net of effect of business acquisitions	4,229			(1,756		)

Free Cash Flows

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

Three Months Ended March 31, 2014 Compared to Three Months Ended March 31, 2013

Net Sales

Net sales for the three months ended March 31, 2014 increased by 0.3%, compared to the same period in 2013. The increase for the three months ended March 31, 2014 was primarily due to the higher sales activity for Onsite Services, which was significantly offset by lower sales activity in our Traditional Reprographics Services offering and Equipment and Supplies Sales. The overall net sales for the three months ended March 31, 2014 were also negatively impacted by the inclement weather conditions through much of the United States. While actual service center closings were few, customer activity (both at our service centers as well as at customer locations) dropped considerably during the weeks when large parts of the country were affected by below freezing temperatures and heavy snows. We estimate related sales decreases for the period to be in the range of $1.0 million and $1.5 million. The decreases were experienced in all business lines, including Onsite Services, where entire office buildings were closed due to the weather.

In the first quarter of 2014, Onsite Services generated the largest percentage of net sales, and it experienced the highest percentage change from the prior year at 8.3%. 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.

Onsite Services. Year-over-year sales of Onsite Services increased by $2.4 million, or 8.3%, for the three months ended March 31, 2014. Revenues from Onsite Services sales represented approximately 31% of total net sales for the three months ended March 31, 2014, compared to approximately 29% for the same period in 2013. Onsite Services revenue is derived from two sources: 1) an engagement with the customer to place primarily large-format equipment that we own or lease at a construction site or in our customers’ offices, typically referred to as a facilities management engagement or “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 7,900 as of March 31, 2014, an increase of approximately 800 locations compared to March 31, 2013, 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 Solutions, our national accounts group. Our Global Solutions sales force has established long-term contract relationships with 19 of the largest 50 AEC firms. As our Onsite Services, and more specifically MPS services, become a larger percentage of our sales, our overall sales will be less exposed to the seasonality associated with construction projects. MPS services are driven primarily by the number of customer employees at an office and largely by non-construction project related work such as office printing and copying.

Traditional Reprographics. Year-over-year sales of Traditional Reprographics Services decreased $1.2 million, or 4.2%, during the three months ended March 31, 2014. Revenues from Traditional Reprographics represented approximately 28% of total net sales for the three months ended March 31, 2014, as compared to approximately 30% during to the same period in 2013. Overall Traditional Reprographics Services sales nationwide were negatively affected by poor weather conditions over much of the US during the early part of the first quarter, as well as the lower volume of construction drawings produced through large-format black and white printing driven by the effect of technology adoption referenced above, and 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 $0.3 million or 1.2%, for the three months ended March 31, 2014. 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 Services. Year-over-year sales of Digital Services decreased by $0.3 million or 3.6%, for the three months ended March 31, 2014. Revenues from Digital Services sales remained consistent at 8% of total net sales for the three months ended March 31, 2014, as compared to the same period in 2013. We attribute this decrease in Digital Services to a decline in those services related to project-based work performed at our service centers, offset in part by sales of our AIM services which were introduced into the market in 2013. Currently, the revenue generating activities included in Digital Services consist of both construction project and non-construction project related services, but do not include revenues generated by Abacus, our onsite services technology, which is sold as part of our overall MPS offering.

Equipment and Supplies Sales. Year-over-year sales of Equipment and Supplies decreased by $0.8 million or 6.5%, for the three months ended March 31, 2014. The decrease was primarily due to a decrease in equipment sales in our operations in the United States. Revenues from Equipment and Supplies Sales represented approximately 11% of total net sales for the three months ended March 31, 2014, compared to approximately 12% for the same periods in 2013. The decrease in Equipment and Supplies Sales in the United States was driven primarily by several large non-recurring equipment orders in 2013. Chinese operations had sales

of equipment and supplies of $3.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2014, as compared to $4.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2013. 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. We do not anticipate growth in Equipment and Supplies Sales in the United States, as we are placing more focus on growth in our Onsite Services and converting sales contracts to Onsite Services agreements.

Gross Profit

During the three months ended March 31, 2014, gross profit and gross margin increased to $33.9 million, and 33.8%, compared to $32.4 million, and 32.4%, during the same period in 2013, on a sales increase of $0.3 million.

We were able to achieve expansion of our gross margins of 140 basis points for the three months ended March 31, 2014 due primarily to a combination of: (1) the full year impact of the closure or merging of underperforming service centers resulting from our restructuring plan initiated in the fourth quarter of 2012 and completed in the fourth quarter of 2013, and (2) ongoing margin expansion initiatives. Specifically, overhead costs as a percentage of sales decreased by 40 basis points primarily due to savings from facility 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 in 2014, though at an abated level from 2013.

A shift in our business mix also contributed to the year-over-year increase in gross margins for the three months ended March 31, 2014. Due to a decline in lower-margin equipment and supplies sales and ongoing margin expansion initiatives, material costs as a percentage of consolidated sales for the three months ended March 31, 2014 were 130 basis points lower as compared to the same period in 2013.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses

Selling, marketing, general and administrative expenses increased $2.3 million, during the three months ended March 31, 2014, compared to the same period in 2013.

Sales and marketing expenses increased $1.2 million, driven by our continued investment in sales which included: (1) the hiring of new sales and sales administrative personnel, (2) expanded training of new and existing sales personnel to implement specific sales initiatives, such as color sales, and our Onsite offering, and (3) expanded incentive programs geared towards organic sales growth.

General and administrative expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2014 increased $1.1 million or 8.1%, compared to the same period in 2013. The rise in expenses was primarily due to an increase in accrued incentive bonuses due to an improvement in the Company’s financial performance in 2014, as well as incurred litigation costs to defend our position as plaintiff in an ongoing litigation matter.

Amortization of Intangibles

Amortization of intangibles of $1.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2014, decreased by $0.2 million or 14.3%, compared to the same period in 2013, primarily due to the complete amortization of certain customer lists related to historical acquisitions.

Restructuring expense

Restructuring expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2014 totaled $0.5 million, and primarily consisted of revised estimated lease termination and obligation costs resulting from facilities closed in 2013.

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

Interest Expense, Net

Net interest expense was $3.9 million during the three months ended March 31, 2014, compared to $6.0 million, in the same period in 2013. The decrease in interest expense for the three months ended March 31, 2014, compared to the same period in 2013, was primarily due to the purchase and redemption of all our outstanding 10.5% senior notes in 2013 and replacing them with a Term Loan Credit Agreement. By refinancing the 10.5% senior notes with the Term Loan Credit Agreement in December of 2013, we were able to reduce our effective interest rate on our long-term debt from 10.5% (or $21.0 million of interest per year on $200 million of principal) to 6.25% (or $12.5 million of interest per year on $200 million of principal).

Income Taxes

We recorded an income tax provision of $0.7 million in relation to pretax income of $2.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2014.

For the three months ended March 31, 2014, our income tax provision was primarily due to the impact of amortization of tax basis goodwill in a deferred tax liability position. Our gross deferred tax assets remain available to us for use in future years until they fully expire. As of March 31, 2014, we had approximately $91.0 million of consolidated federal and approximately $94.0 million of consolidated state net operating loss carryforwards available to offset future taxable income. The federal net operating loss carryforward will begin to expire in varying amounts between 2031 and 2033. The state net operating loss carryforwards expire in varying amounts between 2015 and 2033.

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 Attributable to ARC

Net income attributable to ARC was $1.4 million during the three months ended March 31, 2014, as compared to net income attributable to ARC of $0.4 million, in the same period in 2013. The increase in net income attributable to ARC in 2014 versus prior year period is primarily due to the increase in gross margins and a reduction in interest expense in 2014. This increase was partially offset by the increase in selling, general and administrative expenses, as noted above.

EBITDA

EBITDA margin decreased to 14.4% during the three months ended March 31, 2014, as compared to 14.8% during the same period in 2013. Excluding the effect of stock-based compensation and restructuring expense, adjusted EBITDA margin decreased to 15.7% during the three months ended March 31, 2014, as compared to 15.9% during the same period in 2013. The decreases in EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA were due primarily to the increase in selling, general and administrative expenses, as noted above, partially offset by an increase in gross profits, as noted above.

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 and lease agreements. Our recent historical uses of cash have been for ongoing operations, payment of principal and interest on outstanding debt obligations, and capital expenditures. During the third and fourth quarters of 2013, we repurchased $12.3 million in aggregate principal amount of our 10.5% senior unsecured notes due December 15, 2016 in the open market using available cash. In December 2013, we entered into a $200.0 million Term Loan Credit Agreement, and the related proceeds were used to repurchase and redeem all of our remaining outstanding 10.5% senior unsecured notes. Total cash as of March 31, 2014 was $24.0 million. Of this amount, $14.6 million was held in foreign countries, with $13.7 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.

Net cash provided by operating activities	$	7,714		$	11,881
Net cash used in investing activities	$	(3,401	)	$	(5,255	)
Net cash used in financing activities	$	(7,556	)	$	(4,471	)

Operating Activities

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

The overall decrease in cash flows from operations during the three months ended March 31, 2014 over the same period in 2013 was primarily due to an income tax refund of $3.8 million received in 2013 related to our 2009 consolidated federal income tax return, as well as a decline in accrued interest expense resulting from the repurchases of our 10.5% senior unsecured notes in 2013 which had interest due semi-annually versus quarterly on our new Term Loan Credit Agreement. These declines were offset, in part, by a decrease in accounts receivable. Days sales outstanding (“DSO”) decreased to 53 days as of March 31, 2014 compared to 55 as of March 31, 2013 reflecting our continued focus on accounts receivable collections.

Investing Activities

Net cash used in investing activities was primarily related to capital expenditures. We incurred capital expenditures totaling $3.6 million and $5.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively. As we continue to foster our relationships with credit providers and obtain attractive lease rates, we increasingly choose to lease rather than purchase equipment to meet the demand driven by the growth in Onsite Services.

Financing Activities

Net cash of $7.6 million used in financing activities during the three months ended March 31, 2014 primarily relates to payments on our debt agreements and capital leases. In March 2014, we paid $5.0 million in aggregate principal amount of our $200.0 million Term Loan Credit Agreement, which was $2.5 million above our mandatory payment amount.

Our cash position, working capital, and debt obligations as of March 31, 2014, and December 31, 2013, are shown below and should be read in conjunction with our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets and notes thereto contained elsewhere in this report.

(1)	Net of original issue discount of $3,775 and $4,000 at March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively.

The increase of $3.8 million in working capital in 2014 was primarily due to an increase in accounts receivable of $3.2 million, a decrease in the current portion of long-term debt and capital leases of $2.3 million, and an increase in inventory of $2.0 million. These variances were partially offset by a decrease in cash of $3.4 million. The increases in accounts receivable and inventory were driven by the timing of large customer purchase orders and cash receipts. The decrease in the current portion of long-term debt and cash was primarily due to the $5.0 million principal payment towards our $200.0 million Term Loan Credit Agreement. 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 $24.0 million, availability under our revolving credit facility, availability under our equipment lease lines, 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 March 31, 2014, other than contingent reimbursement obligations for undrawn standby letters of credit described below. 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.

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

Term Loan Credit Agreement

On December 20, 2013, we entered into a Term Loan Credit Agreement (the “Term Loan Credit Agreement”) among ARC, as borrower, JPMorgan Chase Bank., N.A, as administrative agent and as collateral agent, and the lenders party thereto.

The credit facility provided under the Term Loan Credit Agreement consists of an initial term loan facility of $200.0 million, the entirety of which was disbursed in order to pay for the purchase of the our then outstanding 10.5% senior unsecured notes due 2016 (the "Notes") that were accepted under a cash tender offer and the subsequent redemption of the remaining outstanding Notes and to pay associated fees and expenses in connection with the cash tender offer and redemption. We have the right to request increases to the aggregate amount of term loans by an amount not to exceed $50.0 million in the aggregate.

By refinancing the Notes with this Term Loan Credit Agreement, we were able to reduce the effective interest rate on our long-term debt from 10.5% (or $21.0 million of interest per year on $200.0 million of principal) to 6.25% (or $12.5 million of interest per year on $200.0 million of principal). In addition, it moved the principal portion of our long-term debt into a structure that is efficiently pre-payable without a premium. This allows us to use our cash flow to efficiently deliver value to the our stockholders.

The Term Loan Credit Agreement maturity date, with respect to the initial $200.0 million term loan, is December 2018. Under the Term Loan Credit Agreement, we are required to make regularly scheduled principal payments of $2.5 million each quarter, with all remaining unpaid principal due at maturity.

The term loan extended under the Term Loan Credit Agreement can be maintained in different tranches consisting of Eurodollar loans or as base rate loans. It is expected that the term loan will be maintained in Eurodollars and therefore will bear interest, for any interest period, at a rate per annum equal to (i) the higher of (A) the LIBOR rate for U.S. dollar deposits for a period equal to the applicable interest period as determined by the administrative agent in accordance with the Term Loan Credit Agreement and (B) with respect to initial term loans only, 1.00%, plus (ii) an applicable margin of 5.25%.

We will pay certain recurring fees with respect to the credit facility, including administration fees to the administrative agent.

In accordance with the term loan facility agreement, we are required to maintain an Interest Expense Coverage Ratio (as defined in the Term Loan Credit Agreement) greater than or equal to 2.00:1.00 as of the end of each fiscal quarter. In addition, we are required to maintain a Total Leverage Ratio less than or equal to (i) 4.50:1.00 for any fiscal quarter ending through December 31, 2014; (ii) 4.25:1.00 for any fiscal quarter ending between March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2015; (iii) 4.00:1.00 for any fiscal quarter ending between March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2016; (iv) 3.75:1.00 for any fiscal quarter ending between March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2017; and (v) 3.50:1.00 for any fiscal quarter ending March 31, 2018 and thereafter. As of March 31, 2014, our Interest Expense Coverage Ratio was 2.79, and our Total Leverage Ratio was 3.18. We were in compliance with the Term Loan Credit Agreement covenants as of March 31, 2014.

Subject to certain exceptions, the term loan extended under the Term Loan Credit Agreement is subject to customary mandatory prepayments provisions with respect to: the net cash proceeds from certain asset sales; the net cash proceeds from certain issuances or incurrences of debt (other than debt permitted to be incurred under the terms of the Term Loan Credit Agreement); a portion (with stepdowns based upon the achievement of a financial covenant linked to the total leverage ratio) of annual excess cash flow of the Company and certain of its subsidiaries, and with such required prepayment amount to be reduced dollar-for-dollar by the amount of voluntary prepayments of term loans made with internally generated funds; and, the net cash proceeds in excess of a certain amount from insurance recovery (other than business interruption insurance) and condemnation events of the Company and certain of its subsidiaries, subject to certain reinvestment rights.

The Term Loan Credit Agreement contains customary representations and warranties, subject to limitations and exceptions, and customary covenants restricting our ability (subject to various exceptions) and certain of our subsidiaries' ability to: incur additional indebtedness (including guarantee obligations); incur liens; engage in mergers or other fundamental changes; sell certain property or assets; pay dividends of other distributions; consummate acquisitions; make investments, loans and advances; prepay certain indebtedness; change the nature of their business; engage in certain transactions with affiliates; and, incur restrictions on the ability of our subsidiaries to make distributions, advances and asset transfers. In addition, under the Term Loan Credit Agreement we will be required to comply with a specific leverage ratio and a minimum interest coverage ratio.

Our obligations under the Term Loan Credit Agreement are guaranteed by each of our United States domestic subsidiaries. The Term Loan Credit Agreement and any interest rate protection and other hedging arrangements provided by any lender party to the Senior Secured Credit Facilities or any affiliate of such a lender are secured on a first priority basis by a perfected security interest in substantially all of our and each of our guarantor’s assets (subject to certain exceptions), except that such lien is second priority in the case of inventory, receivables and related assets that are subject to a first priority security interest under the 2012 Credit Agreement (as defined below).

2012 Credit Agreement

On January 27, 2012, we entered into a Credit Agreement (the “2012 Credit Agreement”). The 2012 Credit Agreement was amended on December 20, 2013 in connection with our entry into the Term Loan Credit Agreement for the principal purpose of making the 2012 Credit Agreement consistent with the Term Loan Credit Agreement. The 2012 Credit Agreement, as amended, provides revolving loans in an aggregate principal amount not to exceed $40.0 million, with a Canadian sublimit of $5.0 million, based on inventory and accounts receivable of our subsidiaries organized in the US (“United States Domestic Subsidiaries”) and Canada (“Canadian Domestic Subsidiaries”) that meet certain eligibility criteria. The 2012 Credit Agreement has a maturity date of January 27, 2017.

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 Rate Margin (as defined in the 2012 Credit Agreement), 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 rate (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 Rate 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 $8.0 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 the Company’s and its United States Domestic Subsidiaries’ assets. Our United States Domestic Subsidiaries have also guaranteed all of the Company’s obligations under the 2012 Credit Agreement. The obligations of the Company’s Canadian Domestics Subsidiaries which are borrowers under the 2012 Credit Agreement are secured by substantially all of the assets of the Company’s Canadian Domestic Subsidiaries.

As of and during the three months ended March 31, 2014, we did not have any outstanding debt under the 2012 Credit Agreement, other than contingent reimbursement obligations for undrawn standby letters of credit described below that were issued under the 2012 Credit Agreement.

As of March 31, 2014, based on inventory and accounts receivable of our subsidiaries organized in the US and Canada, our borrowing availability under the 2012 Credit Agreement was $40.0 million; however, outstanding standby letters of credit issued under the 2012 Credit Agreement totaling $2.5 million further reduced our borrowing availability under the 2012 Credit Agreement to $37.5 million as of March 31, 2014.

Foreign Credit Agreement

In the third quarter of 2013, UDS, ARC’s Chinese operations, entered into a revolving credit facility with a term of 18 months. The facility provides for a maximum credit amount of $20.0 million Chinese Yuan Renminbi, which translates to U.S. $3.2 million as of March 31, 2014. Draws on the facility 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 March 31, 2014, there was $2.2 million in outstanding debt drawn on our foreign credit facility.

Capital Leases

As of March 31, 2014, we had $22.6 million of capital lease obligations outstanding, with a weighted average interest rate of 7.3% and maturities between 2014 and 2019.

Other Notes Payable

As of March 31, 2014, we had $0.3 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 March 31, 2014, we had a $47.0 thousand seller notes outstanding, with a weighted average interest rate of 6.0% and maturity in 2014. These notes were issued in connection with prior acquisitions.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

As of March 31, 2014, 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 March 31, 2014, 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. Subsequent to the mediation session, the mediator issued a proposal that was accepted by both parties. We await court approval of the settlement. We recorded a liability of $0.9 million as of March 31, 2014 related to the claim, which represents management's best estimate of the probable outcome based on information available. The case remains unresolved as of March 31, 2014. 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

Critical accounting policies are those accounting policies that we believe are important to the portrayal of our financial condition and results and require our most difficult, subjective or complex judgments, often as a result of the need to make estimates about the effect of matters that are inherently uncertain. Our 2013 Annual Report on Form 10-K includes a description of certain critical accounting policies, including those with respect to impairment of long-lived assets, goodwill, revenue recognition, income taxes, allowance for doubtful accounts, and stock-based compensation. There have been no material changes to our critical accounting policies described in our 2013 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

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.

Based upon our assessment, we concluded that no goodwill impairment triggering events have occurred during the first quarter of 2014 that would require an additional impairment test.

At September 30, 2013, we assessed goodwill for impairment and determined that goodwill was not impaired.

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 and into 2013, 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 increase approximately 100 basis points from 2013 to 2014, followed by year-over-year increases of approximately 100 to 200 basis points in 2015 through 2017, 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, 2013, were as follows:



(Dollars in thousands)	Number of Reporting Units	Representing Goodwill of
No goodwill balance	9	$	—
Reporting units failing step one that continue to carry a goodwill balance	—	—
Fair value of reporting unit exceeds its carrying value by 1%—20%	2	14,297
Fair value of reporting unit exceeds its carrying value by 20%—40%	4	58,285
Fair value of reporting unit exceeds its carrying value by more than 40%	10	140,026
	25	$	212,608

Based upon a sensitivity analysis, a reduction of approximately 50 basis points of projected EBITDA in 2013 and beyond, assuming all other assumptions remain constant, one reporting unit would proceed to step two of the analysis, although the change would result in no goodwill impairment.

Based upon a separate sensitivity analysis, a 50 basis point increase to the weighted average cost of capital would result in one reporting unit proceeding to step two of the analysis, although the change would result in no goodwill impairment.

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 2013 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 2014, 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 March 31, 2014, the valuation allowance against certain deferred tax assets was $84.3 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 2013 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

See Note 1, “Description of Business and Basis of Presentation” to our interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for disclosure on recent accounting pronouncements.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

Our primary exposure to market risk is interest rate risk associated with our debt instruments. We use both fixed and variable rate debt as sources of financing. In 2013, we entered into a $200.0 million Term Loan Credit Agreement. Borrowings under the Term Loan Credit Agreement bear interest at a rate equal to an applicable margin plus a variable rate (subject to a fixed floor of 1.00%. As such, our Term Loan Credit Agreement exposes us to market risk for changes in interest rates.

As of March 31, 2014, we had $216.4 million of total debt, net of discount, and capital lease obligations, of which approximately 12%% was at a fixed rate, with the remainder at variable rates. Given our debt position at March 31, 2014 and the 1.00% LIBOR floor on our Term Loan Credit Agreement, the effect of a 100 basis point increase in LIBOR on our interest expense would be approximately $0.3 million annually.

As of March 31, 2014, we were not party to any derivative or hedging transactions; however, we have entered into derivative instruments in the past to manage our exposure to changes in interest rates. These instruments allowed us to raise funds at floating rates and effectively swap them into fixed rates, without the exchange of the underlying principal amount. We have not, and do not plan to, enter into any derivative financial instruments for trading or speculative purposes.

Although we have international operating entities, our exposure to foreign currency rate fluctuations is not significant to our financial condition or results of operations.

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.
