NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE PERIOD ENDED AUGUST 31, 2006

1. Basis of Presentation

These unaudited consolidated financial statements of Ennis, Inc. and its subsidiaries (collectively the “Company” or “Ennis”), for the quarter ended August 31, 2006 have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial reporting. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements and should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Form 10-K for the year ended February 28, 2006, from which the accompanying consolidated balance sheet at February 28, 2006 was derived. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. In the opinion of management, all adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation of the interim financial information have been included. In preparing the financial statements, the Company is required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the disclosure and reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. The Company evaluates these estimates and judgments on an ongoing basis, including those related to bad debts, inventory valuations, property, plant and equipment, intangible assets and income taxes. The Company bases estimates and judgments on historical experience and on various other factors that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. The results of operations for any interim period are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations for a full year.

2. Stock Option Plans and Stock Based Compensation

The Company has stock options granted to key executives, managerial employees and non-employee directors. The Company has two stock option plans: the 1998 Option and Restricted Stock Plan amended and restated as of June 17, 2004 and the 1991 Incentive Stock Option Plan. The Company has 382,208 shares available for grant under the stock option plans for issuance to officers, directors and supervisory employees of the Company and its subsidiaries. The exercise price of each option granted equals the quoted market price of the Company’s common stock on the date of grant, and an option’s maximum term is ten years. Options may be granted at different times during the year and vest over a period of immediate to five-years. The fair value of the restricted stock awards is based upon the market price of the underlying common stock as of the date of the grant and is amortized over the applicable vesting period using the straight-line method. The Company currently uses treasury stock to satisfy option exercises and restricted stock awards.

The Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123 (revised 2004), Share-Based Payment (“SFAS 123R”), effective March 1, 2006. SFAS 123R requires the recognition of the fair value of stock-based compensation in net earnings. The Company recognizes stock-based compensation expense net of estimated forfeitures (estimated at 1.1%) over the requisite service period of the individual grants, which generally equals the vesting period. For the three and six months ended August 31, 2006, in accordance with SFAS 123R, we recorded stock based compensation expense of approximately $66,000 and $125,000, respectively and related tax benefit of $24,000 and $46,000, respectively related to stock options and restricted stock awards.

Prior to March 1, 2006, the Company applied the disclosure-only provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation”, (FAS 123). In accordance with the provisions of FAS 123, the Company accounted for stock options granted to its employees and Board of Directors using the recognition and measurement provisions of Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees,” and its related interpretations, (APB 25) and accordingly did not recognize compensation expense for stock options issued to employees and board members. For disclosure purposes, the Company used the Black-Scholes option pricing model to calculate the related compensation expense for stock options granted, as if it had applied the fair value recognition provisions of FAS 123. The Company has elected to utilize the modified prospective transition method for adopting SFAS 123R. Under this method, the provisions of SFAS 123R apply to all awards granted or modified after the date of adoption. If the Company had applied the fair value recognition provisions of SFAS 123 stock-based employee compensation for the quarter ended August 31, 2005, net earnings and earnings per share would have been as follows (in thousands except per share amounts):

4. Due From Factors

Pursuant to terms of an agreement between the Company and various factors, the Company sells a majority of the trade accounts receivable of the Apparel Segment to factors on a non-recourse basis. The price at which the accounts are sold is the invoice amount reduced by the factor commission of between 0.25% and 1.50%. Additionally, some trade accounts receivable are sold to the factors on a recourse basis.

Trade accounts receivable not sold to the factor remain in the custody and control of the Company and the Company maintains all credit risk on those accounts as well as accounts which are sold to the factor with recourse. The Company accounts for receivables sold to factors with recourse as secured borrowings.

The Company may request payment from the factor in advance of the collection date or maturity. Any such advance payments are assessed with interest charges through the collection date or maturity at the JP Morgan Chase Prime Rate. The Company’s obligations with respect to advances from the factor are limited to the interest charges thereon. Advance payments are limited to a maximum of 90% (ninety percent) of eligible accounts receivable.

The following table represents amounts due from factors included in accounts receivable for the periods ended (in thousands):

5. Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Doubtful Receivables

Accounts receivable are reduced by an allowance for an estimate of amounts that are uncollectible. Approximately 98% of the Company’s receivables are due from customers in North America. The Company extends credit to its customers based upon its evaluation of the following factors: (i) the customer’s financial condition, (ii) the amount of credit the customer requests and (iii) the customer’s actual payment history (which includes disputed invoice resolution). The Company does not typically require its customers to post a deposit or supply collateral. The Company’s allowance for doubtful receivables reserve is based on an analysis that estimates the amount of its total customer receivable balance that is not collectible. This analysis includes assessing a default probability to customers’ receivable balances, which is influenced by several factors including (i) current market conditions, (ii) periodic review of customer credit worthiness, and (iii) review of customer receivable aging and payment trends. The Company writes-off accounts receivable when they become uncollectible, and

6. Inventories

The Company uses the lower of last-in, first-out (LIFO) cost or market to value certain of its business forms inventory and the lower of first-in, first-out (FIFO) cost or market to value its remaining forms and apparel inventories. The Company regularly reviews inventories on hand, using specific aging categories, and writes down the carrying value of its inventories for excess and potentially obsolete inventories based on historical usage and estimated future usage. In assessing the ultimate realization of its inventories, the Company is required to make judgments as to future demand requirements. As actual future demand or market conditions may vary from those projected by the Company, adjustments to inventories may be required.

The following table summarizes the components of inventories at the different stages of production as of the dates indicated (in thousands):

The pro forma results are not necessarily indicative of what would have occurred if the acquisitions had been in effect for the periods presented.

8. Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets

Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of net assets of acquired businesses and is not amortized. Goodwill and indefinite-lived intangibles are evaluated for impairment on an annual basis, or more frequently if impairment indicators arise, using a fair-value-based test that compares the fair value of the asset to its carrying value. Fair values of reporting units are typically calculated using a factor of expected earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization. Based on this evaluation, no impairment was recorded. The Company must make assumptions regarding estimated future cash flows and other factors to determine the fair value of the respective assets in assessing the recoverability of its goodwill and other intangibles. If these estimates or the related assumptions change, the Company may be required to record impairment charges for these assets in the future.

Intangible assets with determinable lives are amortized on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful life. The cost of trademarks is based on fair values at the date of acquisition. Trademarks with determinable lives and a net book value of $871,000 at August 31, 2006 are amortized on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful life (between 1 and 10 years). Trademarks with indefinite-lived lives with a net book value of $61,000,000 at August 31, 2006 are evaluated for impairment on an annual basis.

The cost of purchased customer lists is based on fair values at the date of acquisition and is amortized on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful life (between 10 and 15 years) of such customer lists. The Company assesses the recoverability of its definite-lived intangible assets primarily based on its current and anticipated future undiscounted cash flows.

9.		Long-Term Debt-continued

		Notes payable to finance companies bear interest ranging from at 6.86% to 9.46%, and require monthly payments of principal and interest. The notes mature at dates ranging from September 2006 through November 2007 and are collateralized by certain equipment.

		Notes payable-former Alstyle Shareholders were obligations of Alstyle Apparel. These notes were assumed by the Company in connection with its acquisition of Alstyle Apparel in November 2004. These loans are to individuals with annual payments bearing interest at rates of 4.0% and maturing in November 2007. Payments on these notes are subject to set-off arbitration procedures relating to subsequently discovered pre-acquisition liabilities that were either undisclosed at the time of closing or inappropriately accrued for in the books and records, and other terms and provisions. The Company made a $5.0 million principal payment on June 5, 2006 relating to these notes and $5.0 million outstanding at August 31, 2006 remains subject to set-off arbitration procedures.

11.		Earnings per share

		Basic earnings per share have been computed by dividing net earnings by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the applicable period. Diluted earnings per share reflect the potential dilution that could occur if options or other contracts to issue common shares were exercised or converted into common stock. At August 31, 2006, 37,700 of options were not included in the diluted earnings per share computation because their exercise price exceeded the average fair market value of the Company’s stock for the period. The following table sets forth the computation for basic and diluted earnings per share for the periods indicated:

12.		Segment Information and Geographic Information

		The Company operates in two segments – the Print Segment and the Apparel Segment.

		The Print Segment, which represented 54% of the Company’s consolidated sales for the three and six months ended August 31, 2006, is in the business of manufacturing, design and selling of business forms and other printed business products primarily to distributors located in the United States.

		The Print Segment operates 40 manufacturing locations throughout the United States in 16 strategically located domestic states. Approximately 98% of the business products manufactured by the Print Segment are custom and semi-custom, constructed in a wide variety of sizes, colors, number of parts and quantities on an individual job basis depending upon the customers’ specifications.

		The products sold include snap sets, continuous forms, laser cut sheets, tags, labels, envelopes, integrated products, jumbo rolls and pressure sensitive products in short, medium and long runs under the following labels: Ennis, Royal, Block, TBF/Avant-Garde, 360º Custom Labels, Witt Printing and Calibrated Forms. The Print Segment also sells: the Adams-McClure brand (which provides Point of Purchase advertising for large franchise and fast food chains as well as kitting and fulfillment); the Admore brand (which provides presentation folders and document folders); Ennis Tag & Label (which provides tags and labels, promotional products and advertising concept products), GenForms (which provides short-run and long-run label production) and Northstar and GFS (which provide financial and security documents).

		The Print Segment sells predominantly through private printers and independent distributors. Northstar and GFS also sell directly to a small number of direct customers. Northstar has continued its focus with large banking organizations on a direct basis (where a distributor is not acceptable or available to the end-user) and has acquired several of the top 100 banks in the United States as customers and is actively working on other large banks within the top 100 tier of banks in the United States. Adams-McClure sales are generally provided through advertising agencies.

		Accounting for Income Taxes: In June 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Financial Interpretation No. 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes – an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109”, (“FIN 48”). FIN 48 clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an enterprise’s financial statements in accordance with FASB Statement No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes. The provisions of FIN 48 prescribe a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. In addition, the provisions of FIN 48 provide guidance on derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure, and transition. The provisions of FIN 48 are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006. We are currently evaluating the effects of adopting FIN 48 on our consolidated financial position, results of operations and cash flows.

Item 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Overview

Ennis, Inc. (formerly Ennis Business Forms, Inc.) was organized under the laws of Texas in 1909. Ennis, Inc. and its subsidiaries (collectively known as the “Company,” “Registrant,” “Ennis,” or “we,” “us,” or “our”) prints and constructs a broad line of business forms and other business products and also manufactures a line of activewear for distribution throughout North America. Distribution of business products and forms throughout the United States and Canada is primarily through independent dealers, and with respect to our activewear products, through sales representatives. This distributor channel encompasses print distributors, stationers, quick printers, computer software developers, activewear wholesalers, screen printers and advertising agencies, among others.

On August 8, 2006, we purchased the outstanding stock of Block Graphics, Inc., (“Block”) a privately held company headquartered in Portland, Oregon for $14.8 million in cash. Block Graphics had sales of approximately $38.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2005. The acquisition of Block continues the strategy of growth in our print segment through related manufactured products to further service our existing customer base. The acquisition added additional short-run print products (snaps, continuous forms and cut-sheet forms) as well as the production of envelopes, a new product for the Company.

Business Segment Overview

We operate in two business segments, the Print Segment and the Apparel Segment. The following is a description of each segment. Prior to February 28, 2006, the Print Segment operated in three operating groups – the Forms Solutions Group, the Promotional Solutions Group and the Financial Solutions Group. The print market continues to evolve due to technology improvements, consolidations and new product development. Plants that once only produced standard form products, or were niche product printers, now produce promotional products, labels, and provide other value-add services. Our plants have seen the same degree of evolution over the past several years, which resulted in them losing, to some degree, their product/group specific identity. For the aforementioned reasons, we now consider it prudent to manage/monitor and report these plants at the Print Segment level and not at the Group level.

Print Segment

The Print Segment, which represented 54% of our consolidated sales for both the three and six months ended August 31, 2006, is in the business of manufacturing, design and selling of business forms and other printed business products primarily to distributors located in the United States. The Print Segment operates 40 manufacturing locations throughout the United States in 16 strategically located domestic states. Approximately 98% of the business products manufactured by the Printing Segment are custom and semi-custom products, constructed in a wide variety of sizes, colors and quantities on an individual job basis depending upon the customers’ specifications.

The products sold include snap sets, continuous forms, laser cut sheets, tags, labels, envelopes, integrated products, jumbo rolls and pressure sensitive products in short, medium and long runs under the following labels: Ennis, Royal, Block, TBF/Avant-Garde, 360º Custom Labels, Witt Printing and Calibrated Forms. The Print Segment also sells: the Adams-McClure brand (which provides Point of Purchase advertising for large franchise and fast food chains as well as kitting and fulfillment); the Admore brand (which provides presentation folders and document folders); Ennis Tag & Label (which provides tags and labels, promotional products and advertising concept products), GenForms (which provides short-run and long-run label production) and Northstar and GFS (which provide financial and security documents).

The Print Segment sells predominantly through private printers and independent distributors. Northstar and GFS also sells to a small number of direct customers. Northstar has continued its focus with large banking organizations on a direct basis (where a distributor is not acceptable or available to the end-user) and has acquired several of the top 100 banks in the United States as customers and is actively working on other large banks within the top 100 tier of banks in the United States. Adams-McClure sales are generally provided through advertising agencies.

ENNIS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
FORM 10Q
FOR THE PERIOD ENDED AUGUST 31, 2006

The printing industry generally sells its products in two ways. One market direction is to sell predominately to end users, and is dominated by a few large manufacturers, such as Moore Wallace (a subsidiary of R.R. Donnelly), Standard Register, and Cenveo. The other market direction, which the Company primarily serves, sells forms and other business products through a variety of independent distributors and distributor groups. While it is not possible, because of the lack of adequate statistical information, to determine Ennis’ share of the total business products market, management believes Ennis is one of the largest producers of business forms in the United States distributing primarily through independent dealers, and that its business forms offering is more diversified than that of most companies in the business forms industry. There are a number of competitors that operate in this segment, ranging in size from single employee-owner operations to multi-plant organizations, such as Cenveo and their Quality Park brand. We believe our strategic locations and buying power permit us to compete on a favorable basis within the distributor market on competitive factors, such as service, quality and price.

Distribution of business forms and other business products throughout the United States is primarily done through independent dealers, including business forms distributors, stationers, printers, computer software developers, advertising agencies, etc.

Raw materials of the Printing Segment principally consist of a wide variety of weights, widths, colors, sizes and qualities of paper for business products purchased from a number of major suppliers at prevailing market prices.

Business products usage in the printing industry is generally not seasonal. General economic conditions and contraction of traditional business forms industry are the predominant factor in quarterly volume fluctuations.

Apparel Segment

The Apparel Segment represented 46% of our consolidated sales for both the three and six months ended August 31, 2006. This segment operates under the name of Alstyle Apparel (“Alstyle”). Alstyle markets high quality knit basic activewear (t-shirts, tank tops and fleece) across all market segments. Approximately 88% of Alstyle’s revenues are derived from t-shirt sales, and 92% of those are domestic sales. Alstyle’s branded product lines are AAA, Gaziani, Diamond Star, Murina, A Classic, Tennessee River, D Drive and Hyland Headware.

Alstyle is headquartered in Anaheim, California, where they knit domestic cotton yarn and some polyester fibers into tubular material. The material is then dyed at that facility and then shipped to its plants in Ensenada or Hermosillo, Mexico, where it is cut and sewn into finished goods. Alstyle also ships a small amount of their dyed and cut product to El Salvador and Costa Rica for sewing. After sewing and packaging is completed, product is shipped to one of Alstyle’s seven distribution centers located across the United States and in Canada.

Alstyle utilizes a customer-focused internal sales team comprised of 19 sales representatives assigned to specific geographic territories in the United States and Canada. Sales representatives are allocated performance objectives for their respective territories and are provided financial incentives for achievement of their target objectives. Sales representatives are responsible for developing business with large accounts and spend approximately half their time in the field.

Alstyle employs a staff of customer service representatives that handle call-in orders from smaller customers. Sales personnel sell directly to Alstyle’s customer base, which consists primarily of screen printers, embellishers, retailers, and mass marketers.

A majority of Alstyle’s sales are related to direct customer, branded products and the remainder relate to private label and re-label programs. Generally, sales to screen printers and mass marketers are driven by the availability of competitive products and price considerations, while sales in the private label business are characterized by slightly higher customer loyalty.

Alstyle’s most popular styles are produced based on demand management forecasts to permit quick shipment and to level production schedules. Alstyle offers same-day shipping and uses third party carriers to ship products to its customers.

Alstyle’s sales are seasonal, with sales in the first and second quarters generally being the highest. The general apparel industry is characterized by rapid shifts in fashion, consumer demand and competitive pressures, resulting in both price and demand volatility. However, the imprinted activewear market that Alstyle sells to is generally “event” driven. Blank t-shirts can be thought of as “walking billboards” promoting movies, concerts, sports teams, and “image” brands. Still, the demand for any particular product varies from time to time based largely upon changes in consumer preferences and general economic conditions affecting the apparel industry.

The products of the Apparel Segment are standardized shirts manufactured in a variety of sizes and colors. The Apparel Segment operates six manufacturing facilities, one in California and five in Mexico.

The Apparel industry is comprised of numerous companies who manufacture and sell a wide range of products. Alstyle is primarily involved in the activewear market and produces t-shirts, fleece items, and outsources such products as hats, shorts, pants and other such activewear apparel from China, Thailand, Pakistan, India, Indonesia, Russia, and other foreign sources to sell to its customers through its sales representatives. Its primary competitors are Delta Apparel (“Delta”), Russell, Hanes and Gildan Activewear (“Gildan”). While it is not possible to calculate precisely, based on public information available, management believes that Alstyle is one of the top three providers of blank t-shirts in North America. Alstyle competes with many branded and private label manufacturers of knit apparel in the United States and Canada, some of which are larger in size and have greater financial resources than Alstyle. Alstyle competes on the basis of price, quality, service and delivery. Alstyle’s strategy is to provide the best value to its customers by delivering a consistent, high-quality product at a competitive price. Alstyle’s competitive disadvantage is that its brand name, Alstyle Apparel, is not as well known as the brand names of its largest competitors, such as Gildan, Delta, Hanes and Russell.

No single customer accounts for as much as ten percent of consolidated net sales. Distribution of the Apparel Segment’s products is through Alstyle’s own staff of sales representatives selling to distributors who resell to retailers, or directly to screen printers, embellishers, retailers and mass marketers.

Raw materials of the Apparel Segment principally consist of cotton and polyester yarn purchased from a number of major suppliers at prevailing market prices, although we purchase more than 50% of our cotton and yarn from one supplier. Reference is made to — “Risk Factors” of this Report.

Risk Factors

You should carefully consider the risks described below, as well as the other information included or incorporated by reference in the Annual Report on Form 10-K, before making an investment in our common stock. The risks described below are not the only ones we face in our business. Additional risks and uncertainties not presently known to us or that we currently believe to be immaterial may also impair our business operations. If any of the following risks occur, our business, financial condition or operating results could be materially harmed. In such an event, our common stock could decline in price and you may lose all or part of your investment.

We may be required to write down goodwill and other intangible assets in the future, which could cause our financial condition and results of operations to be negatively affected

When we acquire a business, a portion of the purchase price of the acquisition may be allocated to goodwill and other identifiable intangible assets. The amount of the purchase price which is allocated to goodwill and other intangible assets is determined by the excess of the purchase price over the net identifiable tangible assets acquired. At August 31, 2006, our goodwill and other intangible assets were approximately $178.3 million and $82.8 million, respectively. Under current accounting standards, if we determine goodwill or intangible assets are impaired, we would be required to write down the value of these assets. Annually, we conduct a review of our goodwill and other identifiable intangible assets to determine whether there has been impairment. Such a review was completed for our fiscal year ended February 28, 2006, and we concluded that no impairment charge was necessary. We cannot provide assurance that we will not be required to take an impairment charge in the future. Any impairment charge would have a negative effect on our shareholders’ equity and financial results and may cause a decline in our stock price.

Printed business forms may be superceded over time by “paperless” business forms or otherwise affected by technological obsolescence and changing customer preferences, which could reduce our sales and profits.

Printed business forms and checks may eventually be superceded by “paperless” business forms, which could have a material adverse effect on our business over time. The price and performance capabilities of personal computers and related printers now provide a cost-competitive means to print low-quality versions of many of our business forms on plain paper. In addition, electronic transaction systems and off-the-shelf business software applications have been designed to automate several of the functions performed by our business form and check products. In response to the gradual obsolescence of our standardized forms business, we continue to develop our capability to provide custom and full-color products. We are also seeking to introduce new products and services that may be less susceptible to technological obsolescence. If new printing capabilities and new product introductions do not continue to offset the obsolescence of our standardized business forms products, there is a risk that the number of new customers we attract and existing customers we retain may diminish, which could reduce our sales and profits. Decreases in sales of our standardized business forms and products due to obsolescence could also reduce our gross margins. This reduction could in turn adversely impact our profits, unless we are able to offset the reduction through the introduction of new high margin products and services or realize cost savings in other areas.

Our distributors face increased competition from various sources, such as office supply superstores. Increased competition may require us to reduce prices or to offer other incentives in order to enable our distributors to attract new customers and retain existing customers.

Low price, high value office supply chain stores offer standardized business forms, checks and related products. Because of their size, these superstores have the buying power to offer many of these products at competitive prices. These superstores also offer the convenience of “one-stop” shopping for a broad array of office supplies that our distributors do not offer. In addition, superstores have the financial strength to reduce prices or increase promotional discounts to expand market share. This could result in us reducing our prices or offering incentives in order to enable our distributors to attract new customers and retain existing customers.

Technological improvements may reduce our competitive advantage over some of our competitors, which could reduce our profits.

Improvements in the cost and quality of printing technology are enabling some of our competitors to gain access to products of complex design and functionality at competitive costs. Increased competition from these competitors could force us to reduce our prices in order to attract and retain customers, which could reduce our profits.

We could experience labor disputes that could disrupt our business in the future.

As of August 31, 2006, approximately 14% of our domestic employees are represented by labor unions under collective bargaining agreements, which are subject to periodic renegotiations. Two unions represent all of our hourly employees in Mexico. Although we have not experienced any labor stoppages in the last 10 years, there can be no assurance that any future labor negotiations would continue to be successful or would not experience a labor-stoppage, Either of these events could have a materially adverse impact on our cost of labor or our ability to produce our products.

We obtain our raw materials from a limited number of suppliers and any disruption in our relationships with these suppliers, or any substantial increase in the price of raw materials, could have a material adverse effect on us.

Cotton yarn is the primary raw material used in Alstyle’s manufacturing processes. Cotton accounts for approximately 40% of the manufactured product cost. Alstyle acquires its yarn from five major sources that meet stringent quality and on-time delivery requirements. The largest supplier provides over 50% of Alstyle’s yarn requirements and has an entire yarn mill dedicated to Alstyle’s production. The other major raw material components used in Alstyle’s manufacturing processes are chemicals used to treat the fabric during the dyeing process, which currently Alstyle sole-sources the supply of these chemicals from one supplier. If Alstyle’s relations with its suppliers are disrupted, Alstyle may not be able to enter into arrangements with substitute suppliers on terms as favorable as its current terms and our results of operations could be materially adversely affected.

Alstyle generally acquires its cotton yarn under short-term purchase orders with its suppliers, and has exposure to swings in cotton market prices. Alstyle does not use derivative instruments, including cotton option contracts, to manage its exposure to movements in cotton market prices. Alstyle may use such derivative instruments in the future. We believe we are competitive with other companies in the United States apparel industry in negotiating the price of cotton. However, any significant increase in the price of cotton could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations.

We also purchase our paper products from a limited number of sources, which meet stringent quality and on-time delivery standards under long-term contracts. However, fluctuations in the quality of our paper, unexpected prices increases, etc. could have a material adverse effect on our operating results.

Alstyle faces intense competition to gain market share, which may lead some competitors to sell substantial amounts of goods at prices against which we cannot profitably compete.

Demand for Alstyle’s products is dependent on the general demand for T-shirts and the availability of alternative sources of supply. Alstyle’s strategy in this market environment is to be a low cost producer and to differentiate itself by providing quality service to its customers. Even if this strategy is successful, its results may be offset by reductions in demand or price declines.

Apparel business is subject to cyclical trends.

The United States apparel industry is sensitive to the business cycle of the national economy. Moreover, the popularity, supply and demand for particular apparel products can change significantly from year to year. Alstyle may be unable to compete successfully in any industry downturn due to excess capacity.

Our apparel foreign operations could be subject to unexpected changes in regulatory requirements, tariffs and other market barriers and political and economic instability in the countries where it operates, which could negatively impact our operating results.

Alstyle operates cutting and sewing facilities in Mexico, and sources certain product manufacturing and purchases in El Salvador, Pakistan, China and Southeast Asia. Alstyle’s foreign operations could be subject to unexpected changes in regulatory requirements, tariffs and other market barriers and political and economic instability in the countries where it operates. The impact of any such events that may occur in the future could subject Alstyle to additional costs or loss of sales, which could adversely affect our operating results. In particular, Alstyle operates its facilities in Mexico pursuant to the “maquiladora” duty-free program established by the Mexican and United States governments. This program enables Alstyle to take advantage of generally lower costs in Mexico, without paying duty on inventory shipped into or out of Mexico. There can be no assurance that the governments of Mexico and the United States will continue the program currently in place or that Alstyle will continue to be able to benefit from this program. The loss of these benefits could have an adverse effect on our business.

Our apparel products are subject to foreign competition, which in the past have been faced with significant U.S. government import restrictions.

Foreign producers of apparel often have significant labor cost advantages. Given the number of these foreign producers, the substantial elimination of import protections that protect domestic apparel producers could materially adversely affect Alstyle’s business. The extent of import protection afforded to domestic apparel producers has been, and is likely to remain, subject to considerable political considerations.

The North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) became effective on January 1, 1994 and has created a free-trade zone among Canada, Mexico and the United States. NAFTA contains a rule of origin requirement that products be produced in one of the three countries in order to benefit from the agreement. NAFTA has phased out all trade restrictions and tariffs among the three countries on apparel products competitive with those of Alstyle. Alstyle performs substantially all of its cutting and sewing in five plants located in Mexico in order to take advantage of the NAFTA benefits. Subsequent repeal or alteration of NAFTA could adversely affect our business.

The Central American Free Trade Agreement (CAFTA) became effective May 28, 2004 and retroactive to January 1, 2004 for textiles and apparel. It creates a free trade zone similar to NAFTA by and between the United States and Central American countries (El Salvador, Honduras, Costa Rica, Nicaragua and Dominican Republic). Textiles and apparel will be duty-free and quota-free immediately if they meet the agreement’s rule of origin, promoting new opportunities for U.S. and Central American fiber, yarn, fabric and apparel manufacturing. The agreement will also give duty-free benefits to some apparel made in Central America that contains certain fabrics from NAFTA partners Mexico and Canada. Alstyle sources approximately 5% of its sewing to a contract manufacturer in El Salvador, and we do not anticipate that this will have a material effect on our operations.

The World Trade Organization (WTO), a multilateral trade organization, was formed in January 1995 and is the successor to the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade (GATT). This multilateral trade organization has set forth mechanisms by which world trade in clothing is being progressively liberalized by phasing-out quotas and reducing duties over a period of time that began in January of 1995. As it implements the WTO mechanisms, the U.S. government is negotiating bilateral trade agreements with developing countries, which are generally exporters of textile and apparel products, that are members of the WTO to get them to reduce their tariffs on imports of textiles and apparel in exchange for reductions by the United States in tariffs on imports of textiles and apparel.

In January 2005, United States import quotas were removed on knitted shirts from China. The elimination of quotas and the reduction of tariffs under the WTO may result in increased imports of certain apparel products into North America. In May 2005, quotas on three categories of clothing imports, including knitted shirts, from China were re-imposed. These factors could make Alstyle’s products less competitive against low cost imports from developing countries.

Environmental regulations may impact our future operating results.

We are subject to extensive and changing federal, state and foreign laws and regulations establishing health and environmental quality standards, and may be subject to liability or penalties for violations of those standards. We are also subject to laws and regulations governing remediation of contamination at facilities currently or formerly owned or operated by us or to which we have sent hazardous substances or wastes for treatment, recycling or disposal. We may be subject to future liabilities or obligations as a result of new or more stringent interpretations of existing laws and regulations. In addition, we may have liabilities or obligations in the future if we discover any environmental contamination or liability at any of our facilities, or at facilities we may acquire.

We depend upon the talents and contributions of a limited number of individuals, many of whom would be difficult to replace.

The loss or interruption of the services of our Chief Executive Officer, Executive Vice President, Chief Financial Officer and Vice President Apparel Division, could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. Although we maintain employment agreements with these individuals, it cannot be assured that the services of such individuals will continue.

Working Capital. Our working capital increased by approximately $15.2 million, or 16% from $94.5 million at February 28, 2006 to $109.7 million at August 31, 2006. The increase in our working capital during the period related to an increase in our receivables, prepaid expenses and other current assets of $9.9 million, which related primarily to the acquisitions, and a decrease in the current portion of our long-term debt of $5.7 million, which related primarily to the $5.0 million payment on the former Alstyle shareholder notes. As a result, our current ratio, calculated by dividing our current assets by our current liabilities increased from 2.5-to-1.0 at February 28, 2006 to 2.9-to-1.0 at August 31, 2006.

Cash and cash equivalents. Cash and cash equivalents consists of highly liquid investments, such as time deposits held at major banks, commercial paper, United States government agency discounts notes, money market mutual funds and other money market securities with original maturities of 90 days or less.

Cash used for financing activities	$	(7,867	)	$	(20,789	)		-62.2	%

Cash flows from operating activities. Cash provided by our operating activities increased by $6.4 million, or 35.4% to $24.5 million for the six months ending August 31, 2006 as compared to $18.1 million for the six months ended August 31, 2005. This increase is primarily attributable to better management of inventory levels, which resulted in reduced purchases of inventory, as well as the improved management of receivables and payables during the current period when compared to the same period last year offset by the reduction of accounts receivable sold to factoring companies.

Cash flows from investing activities. Cash used for our investing activities increased by $10.7 million, or 180.1% to $16.6 million for the six months ended August 31, 2006 as compared to $5.9 million for the six months ended August 31, 2005. The increase in cash used during the current period related primarily to the cost of our acquisitions of businesses of $17.6 million, offset by reduced expenditures for capital equipment of $4.3 million and from the sale of the Medfield property which provided $2.4 million in cash during the period.

Cash flows from financing activities. We used $12.9 million less in cash associated with our financing activities this period when compared to the same period last year. We borrowed $6 million more and paid down $7 million less on our outstanding debt during the current period when compared to the same period last year. This difference related primarily to the acquisition of Block on August 8, 2006 which had an acquisition cost of $14.8 million and was financed through borrowings.

Credit Facility – On March 31, 2006, we entered into an amended and restated credit agreement with a group of lenders led by LaSalle Bank N.A. (the “Facility”). The Facility provides us access to $150 million in revolving credit and matures on March 31, 2010. The facility bears interest at the London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) plus a spread ranging from .50% to 1.50% (currently LIBOR + .75% — 6.15625%), depending on our total funded debt to EBITDA ratio, as defined. The Facility contains financial covenants, restrictions on capital expenditures, acquisitions, asset dispositions, and additional debt, as well as other customary covenants. As of August 31, 2006, we had $108.0 million of borrowings under the revolver and $9.3 million outstanding under standby letters of credit arrangements, leaving us availability of approximately $32.7 million. The Facility is secured by substantially all of our personal and investment property.

During the six months ended in August 31, 2006, we repaid $9,500,000 on the revolver and $5,953,000 on other debt. It is anticipated that the available line of credit is sufficient to cover, should it be required, working capital requirements for the foreseeable future.

As previously reported, Alstyle continues to sell a substantial portion of its accounts receivable to factors based upon agreements with various financial institutions. We continue with plans to fund these receivables through the existing bank line or from working capital generated by Alstyle over the next twelve to fifteen months.

Pension – We are required to make contributions to our defined benefit pension plan. These contributions are required under the minimum funding requirements of the Employee Retirement Pension Plan Income Security Act (ERISA). We anticipate that we will contribute from $2.0 million to $3.0 million during our current fiscal year. We made contributions of $2,000,000 to our pension plan during fiscal year 2006.

Inventories – We believe our current inventory levels are sufficient to satisfy our customer demands and we anticipate having adequate sources of raw materials to meet future business requirements. The previously reported long-term contracts (that govern prices, but do not require minimum volume) with paper and yarn suppliers continue to be in effect.

Capital Expenditures – We expect our capital requirements for the fiscal year to be in-line with our historical levels of between $5.0 million and $7.0 million and would expect to fund these expenditures through existing cash flows. We would expect to generate sufficient cash flows from our operating activities in order to cover our operating and other capital requirements for our foreseeable future.

Contractual Obligations & Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements – There have been no significant changes in our contractual obligations since February 28, 2006 that have, or are reasonably likely to have, a material impact on our results of operations or financial condition. We had no off-balance sheet arrangements in place as of August 31, 2006.

Results of Operations – Consolidated

Three Months ended August 31, 2006 compared to Three Months ended August 31, 2005

Net Sales. Net sales for the three months ended August 31, 2006 were $151.7 million compared to $148.1 million for the three months ended August 31, 2005, an increase of $3.6 million, or 2.4%. The increase in our sales for the quarter related to the increase in our Apparel Segment sales, which increased by $5.2 million, or 8.2% and was offset by a decrease in our Print Segment sales of $1.6 million, or 2.0% during the quarter. See “Results of Operation – Segments” of this Report for further discussion.

Gross profit. Our gross profit margin for the three months ended August 31, 2006 was $38.2 million, or 25.2% of sales, compared to $37.3 million, or 25.1% for the three months ended August 31, 2005. Our gross margins increased in our Print Segment from 24.5% to 24.9% for the three months ended August 31, 2005 and 2006, respectively. This increase was partially offset by a slight decrease in our Apparel Segment margins which decreased from 26.0% to 25.6% for the three months ended August 31, 2005 and 2006, respectively. See “Results of Operations — Segments” of this Report for further discussion.

Selling, general and administrative expenses. For the three months ended August 31, 2006, our selling, general and administrative expenses were $18.3 million, 12.1% of sales, compared to $17.8 million, or 12.0% of sales, for the three months ended August 31, 2005. The slight increase in our selling, general and administrative expenses during the period related primarily to an increase in our selling expenses, which were offset for the most part by decreases in our administrative expenses.

Earnings from operations. As a result of the above factors, our earnings from operations increased from $19.5 million, or 13.1% of sales for the three months ended August 31, 2005 to $19.9 million, or 13.1% for the three months ended August 31, 2006.

Other income and expense. For the three months ended August 31, 2006, our other expense decreased by approximately $1.0 million, from $2.4 million for the three months ended August 31, 2005 to $1.4 million for the current quarter. As we had less debt on average outstanding during the current period, our interest expense decreased from $2.3 million to $1.7 million for the three months ended August 31, 2005 and 2006, respectively.

Provision for income taxes. Our effective tax rates were 37.0% and 38.0% for the three months ended August 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively. The decrease in our effective tax rate during the current period over the comparable period last year related primarily to an increase in our foreign income tax credit and the American Jobs Creation Act credit.

Net earnings. As a result of the above factors, our net earnings increased from earnings of approximately $10.6 million, or 7.1% of sales for the three months ended August 31, 2005 to $11.6 million, or 7.7% of sales for the three months ended August 31, 2006. Basic earnings per share increased from earnings of $.42 per share for the three months ended August 31, 2005 to $.46 for the three months ended August 31, 2006. Diluted earnings per share increased from earnings of $.41 per share for the three months ended August 31, 2005 to $.45 for the three months ended August 31, 2006.

Six Months ended August 31, 2006 compared to Six Months ended August 31, 2005.

Net Sales. Net sales for the six months ended August 31, 2006 were $296.8 million compared to $297.2 million for the six months ended August 31, 2005, a decrease of $.4 million, or -.1%. The decrease in our sales for the period related to a decrease in our Print Segment sales of $5.3 million, or 3.2% which was offset by an increase in our Apparel Segment sales of $4.9 million, or 3.7%. See “Results of Operations – Segments” of this Report for further discussion.

Gross profit. Our gross profit margin for the six months ended August 31, 2006 was $76.1 million, or 25.6% of sales, compared to $74.7 million, or 25.1% of sales for the six months ended August 31, 2005. The increase in our gross margin during the period related primarily to an increase in the margins realized by our Apparel Segment, which increased from 25.2% for the six months ended August 31, 2005 to 26.4% for the six months ended August 31, 2006. Our Print Segment’s margins during the periods remained relatively stable at 25.0% and 25.1%, for the six months ended August 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively. The increase in our Apparel Segment margins during the period continues to be primarily related to the benefits of the cost reduction programs implemented last year. See “Results of Operations — Segments” of this Report for further discussion.

Selling, general and administrative expenses. For the six months ended August 31, 2006, our selling, general and administrative expenses were $36.4 million, or 12.3% of sales, compared to $35.6 million, or 12.0% of sales, for the six months ended August 31, 2005. The slight increase in our selling, general and administrative expenses during the period related primarily to an increase in our selling expenses, which were offset for the most part by decreases in our administrative expenses.

Earnings from operations. As a result of the above factors, our earnings from operations increased from $39.1 million, or 13.2% of sales for the six months ended August 31, 2005 to $39.7 million, or 13.4% for the six months ended August 31, 2006.

For the six months ended August 31, 2006, our other expense decreased by approximately $1.5 million, from $4.7 million for six months ended August 31, 2005 to $3.2 million for the current period. The decrease during the current period related primarily to our interest expense which decreased from $4.6 million to $3.5 million for the six months ended August 31, 2005 and 2006, respectively.

Provision for income taxes. Our effective tax rates were 37.0% and 38.5% for the six months ended August 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively. The decrease in our effective tax rate during the current period over the comparable period last year related primarily to an increase in our foreign income tax credit and the American Jobs Creation Act credit.

Net earnings. As a result of the above factors, our net earnings increased from earnings of approximately $21.1 million, or 7.1% for the six months ended August 31, 2005 to $23.0 million, or 7.7% of sales for the six months ended August 31, 2006. Basic earnings per share increased from earnings of $.83 per share for the six months ended August 31, 2005 to $.90 for the six months ended August 31, 2006. Diluted earnings per share increased from earnings of $.82 per share for the six months ended August 31, 2005 to $.89 for the six months ended August 31, 2006.

Print Segment. Our net sales for our Print Segment, which represented 54.2% and 53.7% of our consolidated sales during the three and six months ended August 31, 2006, were approximately $82.3 million and $159.4 million for the same periods, respectively, compared to approximately $83.9 million and $164.6 million for the three and six months ended August 31, 2005, or a decrease of $1.6 million and $5.3 million, or 2.0% and 3.2%, respectively. The decline in the Print Segment’s net sales for the three and six months ended August 31, 2006 is primarily due to the impact of lost revenues associated with several large promotional customers which we ceased doing business with during the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2006 and second quarter of fiscal year 2007. We realized our decision to cease doing business with these customers would most likely impact our top-line in the short-term, however given the margins afforded by these customers, this was a business decision that needed to be made. This impact has been partially offset by our acquisitions of Specialized Printed Forms, Inc., Tennessee Business Forms, Inc. and Block. Without these impacts (i.e., the loss of the promotional customers and the new acquisitions), the Print Segment’s revenues would have actually increased by approximately 3.2% and 5.4% over the same three and six months periods last year.

Apparel Segment. Our net sales for the Apparel Segment, which represented 45.8% and 46.3% of our consolidated sales for the three and six months ended August 31, 2006, were approximately $69.5 million and $137.5 million for the same periods, respectively, as compared to approximately $64.2 million and $132.6 million for the three and six months ended August 31, 2005, or an increase of $5.2 million and $4.9 million, or 8.2% and 3.7%, respectively. During both periods, the increase in sales was primarily due to increased volume associated with new customers.

Print Segment. Our Print Segment’s gross profit decreased approximately $.2 million and $1.6 million, or 1.0% and 3.9%, from $20.6 million and $41.4 million for the three and six months ended August 31, 2005, respectively to $20.4 million and $39.8 million for the three and six months ended August 31, 2006, respectively. As a percentage of sales, our gross profit margins were 24.9% and 25.0% for the three and six months ended August 31, 2006, respectively as compared to 24.5% and 25.1% for the three and six months ended August 31, 2005, respectively. While our gross profit margins, as a percentage of sales, are up slightly for the quarter and in-line with prior year results for the period, the decrease in the dollar amount is directly related to the decrease of our Print Segment’s sales during the periods.

Apparel Segment. Our Apparel Segment’s gross profit margin increased approximately $1.1 million and $2.8 million, from $16.7 million and $33.4 million for the three and six months ended August 31, 2005, respectively to $17.8 million and $36.2 million for the three and six months ended August 31, 2006, respectively. As a percent of sales, our gross profit margins decreased from 26.0% to 25.6% for the three months ended August 31, 2005 and August 31, 2006, respectively; however they increased from 25.2% to 26.4% for the six months ended August 31, 2005 and August 31, 2006, respectively. The Segment’s year-to-date performance continues to be positively impacted by: 1) favorable product mix, and 2) improved manufacturing processes, which have resulted in manufacturing efficiencies, and reduced production costs. The slight decrease in the current quarter’s margins is directly related to increased yarn cost this period over the same period last year.

Print Segment. Our Print Segment’s profit increased approximately $.5 million and $.7 million, from $10.9 million and $22.0 million for the three and six months ended August 31, 2005, respectively to $11.4 million and $22.7 million for the three and six months ended August 31, 2006, respectively. As a percent of sales, our Print Segment’s profits increased from 13.0% and 13.4% for the three and six months ended August 31, 2005, respectively to 13.8% and 14.2% for the three and six months ended August 31, 2006, respectively. The increase in the Print Segment’s profit performance, as a percent of sales, during the current year related primarily to the positive impact associated with the closing of the Edison and Medfield plants.

Apparel Segment. Our Apparel Segment’s profit increased approximately $2.2 million and $3.8 million, from $8.1 million and $16.5 million for the three and six months ended August 31, 2005, respectively to $10.3 million and $20.3 million for the three and six months ended August 31, 2006, respectively. As a percent of sales, this Segment’s profit increased from 12.6% and 12.4% for the three and six months ended August 31, 2005, respectively to 14.8% for both the three and six months ended August 31, 2006. The increase in this Segment’s performance during the quarter is directly related to a reduction in this Segment’s operational expenses, as a percentage of sales over the same period last year due to the increased level of sales. The increase in this Segment’s performance for the year is directly related to the aforementioned and its improved margins this period over last year (see discussion above — “Gross Profit — Apparel Segment”) as our operating expenses remained relatively stable during both periods.

Critical Accounting Policies and Judgments

In preparing our consolidated financial statements, we are required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the disclosures and reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. We evaluate our estimates and judgments on an ongoing basis, including those related to allowance for doubtful receivables, inventory valuations, property, plant and equipment, intangible assets, accrued liabilities and income taxes. We base our estimates and judgments on historical experience and on various other factors that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results may differ materially from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. We believe the following accounting policies are the most critical due to their affect on our more significant estimates and judgments used in preparation of its consolidated financial statements.

We maintain a defined-benefit pension plan for employees. Included in our financial results are pension costs that are measured using actuarial valuations. The actuarial assumptions used may differ from actual results.

Intangibles generated through acquisitions are based upon independent appraisals of their values and are either amortized over their useful life, or evaluated periodically (at least once a year) to determine whether the value has been impaired by events occurring during the fiscal year.

We exercise judgment in evaluating our long-lived assets for impairment. We assess the impairment of long-lived assets that include other intangible assets, goodwill, and property, plant and equipment annually or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable. In performing tests of impairment, we must make assumptions regarding the estimated future cash flows and other factors to determine the fair value of the respective assets in assessing the recoverability of our goodwill and other intangibles. If these estimates or the related assumptions change, we may be required to record impairment charges for these assets in the future. Actual results could differ from assumptions made by management. We believe our businesses will generate sufficient undiscounted cash flow to more than recover the investments we have made in property, plant and equipment, as well as the goodwill and other intangibles recorded as a result of our acquisitions. We cannot predict the occurrence of future impairment triggering events nor the impact such events might have on our reported asset values.

Revenue is generally recognized upon shipment of products. Net sales consist of gross sales invoiced to customers, less certain related charges, including discounts, returns and other allowances. Returns, discounts and other allowances have historically been insignificant. In some cases and upon customer request, Ennis prints and stores custom print product for customer specified future delivery, generally within six months. In this case, risk of loss from obsolescence passes to the customer, the customer is invoiced under normal credit terms and revenue is recognized when manufacturing is complete. Approximately $4.5 million and $10.2 million of revenue was recognized under these agreements during the three and six months ended August 31, 2006 as compared to $3.3 million and $7.8 million during the three and six months ended August 31, 2005, respectively. Sales in foreign countries were not significant for the three and six months ended August 31, 2006 or the three and six months ended August 31, 2005.

We maintain an allowance for doubtful receivables to reflect estimated losses resulting from the inability of customers to make required payments. On an on-going basis, we evaluate the collectability of accounts receivable based upon historical collection trends, current economic factors, and the assessment of the collectability of specific accounts. We evaluate the collectability of specific accounts using a combination of factors, including the age of the outstanding balances, evaluation of customers’ current and past financial condition and credit scores, recent payment history, current economic environment, discussions with our project managers, and discussions with the customers directly.

Our inventories are valued at the lower of cost or market. We regularly review inventory values on hand, using specific aging categories, and write down inventory deemed obsolete and/or slow-moving based on historical usage and estimated future usage to its estimated marked value. As actual future demand or market conditions may vary from those projected by management, adjustments to inventory valuations may be required.

As part of the process of preparing our consolidated financial statements, we are required to estimate our income taxes in each jurisdiction in which we operate. This process involves estimating our actual current tax exposure together with assessing temporary differences resulting from different treatment of items for tax and accounting purposes. These differences result in deferred tax assets and liabilities, which are included in our consolidated balance sheet. We must then assess the likelihood that our deferred tax assets will be recovered from future taxable income or through our ability to carry this deferred tax asset back. To the extent we believe that recovery is not likely, we must establish a valuation allowance. To the extent we establish a valuation allowance, we must include an expense within the tax provision in the consolidated statements of income. In the event that actual results differ from these estimates, our provision for income taxes could be materially impacted.

In addition to the above, we also have to make assessments as to the adequacy of our accrued liabilities, more specifically our liabilities recorded in connection with our workers compensation and health insurance, as these plans are self funded. To help us in this evaluation process, we routinely get outside third party appraisals of our potential liabilities under each plan.

New Accounting Standards

Accounting for Income Taxes: In June 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Financial Interpretation No. 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes – an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109”, (“FIN 48”). FIN 48 clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an enterprise’s financial statements in accordance with FASB Statement No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes. The provisions of FIN 48 prescribe a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. In addition, the provisions of FIN 48 provide guidance on derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure, and transition. The provisions of FIN 48 are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006. We are currently evaluating the effects of adopting FIN 48 on our consolidated financial position, results of operations and cash flows.

Item 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

Market Risk

We are exposed to market risk from changes in interest rates on debt.

We may from time to time utilize interest rate swaps to manage overall borrowing costs and reduce exposure to adverse fluctuations in interest rates. We do not use derivative instruments for trading purposes. We are exposed to interest rate risk on short-term and long-term financial instruments carrying variable interest rates. Our variable rate financial instruments, including the outstanding credit facilities, totaled $108.0 million at August 31, 2006. The impact on our results of operations of a one-point interest rate change on the outstanding balance of the variable rate financial instruments as of August 31, 2006 would be approximately $1,000,000.

This market risk discussion contains forward-looking statements. Actual results may differ materially from this discussion based upon general market conditions and changes in domestic and global financial markets.

Item 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures. An evaluation was carried out under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design of our “disclosure controls and procedures” (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) as of the end of the period covered by this quarterly report, pursuant to Exchange Act Rule 13a-15. Based upon that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures as of August 31, 2006 are effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports filed or submitted by us under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms and include controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in such reports is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive and financial officers as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Due to the inherent limitations of control systems, not all misstatements may be detected. Those inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty and that breakdowns can occur because of simple errors or mistakes. Additionally, controls could be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons or by collusion of two or more people. Our controls and procedures can only provide reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the above objectives have been met.

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting identified in connection with the evaluation required by paragraph (d) of Exchange Act Rules 13a-15 or 15d-15 that occurred during our last fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
