NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE PERIOD ENDED MAY 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 May 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 Companys 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 and 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 398,208 shares available for grant under the stock option plans for issuance to officers and directors and supervisory employees of the Company and its subsidiaries. The exercise price of each option granted equals the quoted market price of the Companys common stock on the date of grant, and an options maximum term is ten years. Options may be granted at different times during the year and vest over a period of immediate to a five-year period. For the three-month periods ended May 31, 2006 and 2005, 37,700 and 35,000 of options, respectively, were not included in the diluted earnings per share computation because their exercise price exceeded the average fair market value of the Companys stock for the period. 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 months ended May 31, 2006, in accordance with SFAS 123R, we recorded stock based compensation expense of approximately $59,000 and related tax benefit of $3,000 related to stock options and restricted stock units. |

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE PERIOD ENDED MAY 31, 2006
2. | Stock Option Plans and Stock Based Compensation-continued |
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 May 31, 2005, net earnings and earnings per share would have been as follows (in thousands except per share amounts): |

3. | Employee Benefit Plans (continued) |
The Company is required to make contributions to its defined benefit pension plan. These contributions are required under the minimum funding requirements of the Employee Retirement Pension Plan Income Security Act (ERISA). For the current fiscal year ending February 28, 2007, there is not a minimum contribution requirement and no pension payments have been made; however, the Company expects to contribute from $2.0 million to $3.0 million in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2007. The Company contributed $2,000,000 to its pension plan during fiscal year 2006. |
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 the 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 the factors with recourse as accrued borrowings. | ||
The Company may request payment from the factor in advance of the collection date or maturity. Any such advance payments are assessed in interest charges through the collection date or maturity at the JP Morgan Chase Prime Rate. The Companys 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 Accounts | |
Accounts receivable are reduced by an allowance for an estimate of amounts that are uncollectible. Approximately 99% of the Companys 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 |

customers financial condition, (ii) the amount of credit the customer requests and (iii) the customers actual payment history (which includes disputed invoice resolution). The Company does not typically require its customers to post a deposit or supply collateral. The Companys allowance for doubtful accounts 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 balance, 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 payments subsequently received on such receivables are credited to bad debt expense in the period the payment is received. Credit losses from continuing operations have consistently been within managements expectations. | ||
The following table represents the activity in the Companys allowance for doubtful accounts for the three months ended (in thousands): |

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 and apparel inventories. The Company regularly reviews inventory values on hand, using specific aging categories, and writes down the carrying value of its inventory for excess and potentially obsolete inventories based on historical usage and estimated future usage. In assessing the ultimate realization of its inventory, 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. |

7. | Acquisitions | |
The Company purchased all of the outstanding stock of Specialized Printed Forms, Inc., (SPF) a privately held company headquartered in Caledonia, New York and the associated land and buildings for $4.6 million in cash on March 31, 2006. SPF had sales of $9.2 million for the twelve month period ended July 31, 2005. The acquisition of SPF continues the Ennis strategy of growth through related manufactured products to further service our existing customer base. The acquisition added additional short-run print products, long-run (jumbo rolls) products and solutions as well as integrated labels and form/label combinations sold through the indirect sales (distributorship) marketplace. | ||

The Companys results of operations for the three month period ended May 31, 2006 included from SPF sales in the amount of $1.3 million and net income before income taxes of $52,000 from its acquisition date of March 31, 2006. Pro-forma information has not been presented as it was not material to the previously reported revenue, net income or earnings per share of the Company. | ||
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. Trade names with determinable lives and a net book value of $904,000 at May 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 May 31, 2006 are evaluated for impairment on an annual basis. |

The cost of purchased trade names 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 trade names. The Company assesses the recoverability of its definite-lived intangible assets primarily based on its current and anticipated future undiscounted cash flows. |

On March 31, 2006, The Company 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% 5.8425%), depending on our total funded debt to EBITDA ratio, as defined. The
Facility is secured by substantially all of our personal and investment property. The Facility
contains financial covenants, restrictions on capital expenditures, acquisitions, asset
dispositions, and additional debt, as well as other customary covenants.
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 classified as Other 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 (former shareholders of Alstyle) with annual payments
bearing interest at rates of 4.0% and matures 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 remains subject to
set-off arbitration procedures.

12. | Segment Information and Geographic Information | |
The Company operates in two segments the Print Segment and the Apparel Segment. | ||
The Print Segment, which represented 53% of the Companys consolidated sales for the three months ended May 31, 2006, is in the business of manufacturing, design and selling business forms and other printed business products primarily to distributors located in the United States. | ||
The Print Segment operates 33 manufacturing locations throughout the United States in 15 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, integrated products, jumbo rolls and pressure sensitive products in short, medium and long runs under the following labels: Ennis, Royal, 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 provides 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. | ||
The second segment, the Apparel Segment, which represented 47% of the Companys consolidated sales for the three months ended May 31, 2006, consists of Alstyle Apparel, which is primarily engaged in the production and sale of active-wear including t-shirts, fleece goods and other wearables. Alstyle sales are seasonal, with sales in the first and second quarters generally being the highest. Corporate information is included to reconcile segment data to the consolidated financial statements and includes assets and expenses related to the Companys corporate headquarters and other administrative costs. |

Item 2. MANAGEMENTS 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 March 31, 2006, we purchased the outstanding stock of Specialized Printed Forms, Inc.,
(SPF) a privately held company headquartered in Caledonia, New York and the associated land and
buildings. The purchase price of this transaction was $4.6 million (in cash). SPF had sales of
$9.2 million for the twelve month period ended July 31, 2005. The acquisition of SPF continues
the Ennis strategy of growth through related manufactured products to further service our existing
customer base. The acquisition added additional short-run print products, long-run (jumbo rolls)
products and solutions as well as integrated labels and form/label combinations sold through the
indirect sales (distributorship) marketplace.
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 toFebruary 28, 2006, the Pring 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, etc. Plants that once only produced standard form products, or were niche product
printers, now produce promotional products, labels, etc. 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 53% of our consolidated sales for the three months ended
May 31, 2006, is in the business of manufacturing, design and selling business forms and other
printed business products primarily to distributors located in the United States. The Print Segment
operates 33 manufacturing locations throughout the United States in 15 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,
integrated products, jumbo rolls and pressure sensitive products in short, medium and long runs
under the following

labels: Ennis, Royal, 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 provides 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.
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 tour strategic
locations and buying power permit s 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 47% of our consolidated sales for the three months ended May
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 Alstyles revenues are derived from t-shirt sales, and 94% of those are
domestic sales. Alstyles 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 Alstyles 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 Alstyles customer base, which consists
primarily of screen printers, embellishers, retailers, and mass marketers.
A majority of Alstyles 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.
Alstyles most popular styles are produced based on 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.
Alstyles 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 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 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. Alstyles strategy is to

provide the best value to its customers by delivering a consistent, high-quality product at a
competitive price. Alstyles 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 Segments products is through Alstyles 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 this 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 in the future.
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 assets acquired. At May 31, 2006, our goodwill and other
intangible assets were approximately $178.3 million and $83.2 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 have conducted 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 May 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 Alstyles 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 Alstyles yarn requirements and has an entire yarn mill dedicated to
Alstyles production. The other major raw material components used in Alstyles 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 Alstyles 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 Alstyles products is dependent on the general demand for T-shirts and the
availability of alternative sources of supply. Alstyles 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. Alstyles 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 has 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 Alstyles 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 agreements 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 have been 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
Alstyles 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 decreased by approximately $1.4 million, or 1.5%
from $94.5 million at February 28, 2006 to $93.1 million at May 31, 2006. The decrease
in our

Cash flows from operating activities. Cash flows from our operating activities decreased
in the three months ending May 31, 2006 primarily as a result of
our decision to bring in-house more customer receivables that were
previously factored. This reduction was partially
offset by an increase in our accrued liabilities.
Cash flows
from investing activities. The changes in cash flows from investing activities
primarily relates to our acquisition of Specialized Printed Forms for $4.6 million on March 31,
2006 and in March 2005 we acquired ownership of certain assets of approximately $3 million, which
were held by Alstyle under operating lease.
Cash flows from financing activities. The changes in cash flows from financing activities
primarily relate to payments under our debt obligations as well as payment of dividends.
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%), depending on our total funded debt to EBITDA ratio, as defined. The Facility is
secured by substantially all of our personal and investment property. The Facility contains
financial covenants, restrictions on capital expenditures, acquisitions, asset dispositions, and
additional debt, as well as other customary covenants. As of May 31, 2006, we had $95.5 million of
borrowings under the revolver and $13.2 million

outstanding under letter of credit arrangements, leaving us availability of approximately
$41.3 million. The Facility was secured by substantially all of our personal and investment
property and bore interest at a floating rate of LIBOR plus a spread dependent upon our total
funded debt level to cash flows as defined. The rate in effect at May 31, 2006 was 5.8425%. The
Original Facility contained financial covenants, restrictions on capital expenditures,
acquisitions, asset dispositions, and additional debt, as well as other customary covenants.
During the three months ended in May 31, 2006, we repaid $7,000,000 on the revolver and
$473,000 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 May 31, 2006.

Results of Operations Consolidated
Net Sales. Net sales for the three months ended May 31, 2006 were $145.1 million compared to
$149.1 million for the three months ended May 31, 2005. This represented a decrease of 2.7% over
the same quarter last year. The decrease in the quarter sales related primarily to the decrease in
our Print Segment sales which decreased by approximately $3.6 million. See Results of Operation
Segments of this Report for further discussion.
Gross profit. Our gross profit for the three months ended May 31, 2006 was $37.8 million, or
26.1% of sales, compared to $37.5 million, or 25.1% of sales for the three months ended May 31,
2005. The increase in our gross margin during the period related primarily from the continued
benefits associated with our cost reduction programs implemented last year in the Apparel Segment.
See Results of Operations Segments of this Report for further discussion.
Selling, general and administrative expenses. For the three months ended May 31, 2006, our
selling, general and administrative expenses were $18.1 million, or 12.5% of sales, compared to
$17.8 million, or 12.0% of sales, for the three months ended May 31, 2005. The 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 have
increased from $19.6 million, or 13.2% of sales for the three months ended May 31, 2005 to earnings
of $19.7 million, or 13.6% of sales for the comparable period this year.
Other income and expense. For the three months ended May 31, 2006, our other expense
decreased by approximately $.5 million from $2.3 million for the three months ended May 31, 2005,
to
approximately $1.8 million for the three months ended May 31, 2006. The decrease during the
current period related primarily to our decreased interest expense which decreased from
approximately $2.2 million to approximately $1.8 million for the three months ended May 31, 2005
and 2006, respectively.
Provision for income taxes. Our effective tax rates for the periods were 37.0% and 39.0% for
the three months ended May 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 May 31, 2005 to
approximately $11.3 million, or 7.8% of sales for the three months ended May 31, 2006. Basic
earnings per share increased from earnings of $.42 per share for the three months ended May 31,

Print Segment. Our net sales for our Print Segment, which represented 57% of our
consolidated sales during the current period, were approximately $77.1 million for the three months
ended May 31, 2006 compared to approximately $80.7 million for the three months ended May 31, 2005,
or a decrease of $3.6 million, or 4.5%. The decline in the Print Segments revenues during the
quarter is primarily due to the impact of lost revenues associated with a large promotional
customer which we ceased doing business with during the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2006,
approximately $4.0 million, and the impact of the two print plants closings, which were in 2005,
approximately $2.0 million. Without these items, the Print segments revenues for the quarter
actually increased by approximately 3% over same quarter last year.
Apparel Segment. Our net sales for the Apparel Segment, which represented 47% of our
consolidated sales for the current period, were approximately $68.0 million for the three months
ended May 31, 2006 compared to approximately $68.4 million for the three months ended May 31, 2005.
We believe the start of the summer retail season started out slow this year which impacted our
first quarter sales. While our apparel sales during the quarter started off soft, we started to
see the trend shift in April when our sales were up 6% over prior
years numbers. This trend continued into May
where our apparel sales finished up 14% over the previous years numbers.

Print Segment. Our Print Segments gross profit decreased approximately $1.4 million, or
6.7% from $20.8 million to $19.4 million for the three months ended May 31, 2005 and 2006,
respectively. As a percentage of sales, our gross profit was 25.1% and 25.8% for the three months
ended May 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively. Our gross profit during the current quarter was
impacted by the decrease in the earnings at our Adams McClure facility due to the decreased sales
from a large promotional customer as

previously discussed. Management is in the process of evaluating and implementing changes in
both personnel and processes to bring costs in line with expected sales volume at this plant.
Without the impact of our Adams McClure facility, our print margins would have been effectively the
same for both periods, approximately 26.8%.
Apparel Segment. Our Apparel Segments gross profit margin increased approximately $1.7
million, from $16.7 million for the three months ended May 31, 2005 to $18.4 million for the three
months ended May 31, 2006. As a percent of sales, this Segments gross profit increased from 24.4%
for the three months ended May 31, 2005 to 27.1% for the three months ended May 31, 2006. The
Segments performance, for the current quarter 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.

Print Segment. Our Print Segments segment profit for the three months ended May 31, 2006
remained relatively stable at $11.3 million for the three months ended May 31, 2006 compared to
$11.1 million for the three months ended May 31, 2005. As a percent of sales, our Print Segments
profits increased from 14.2% to 14.6% for the three months ended May 31, 2005 and 2006,
respectively. The increase in the Print Segments profit
performance, as a percent of sales, during the current quarter related
primarily to the positive impact associated with the closing of the Edison and Medfield plants.
Apparel Segment. Our Apparel Segments profit increased approximately $1.6 million, from $8.4
million for the three months ended May 31, 2005 to $10.0 million for the three months ended May 31,
2006. As a percent of sales, this Segments profit increased from 12.2% for the three months ended
May 31, 2005 to 14.8% for the three months ended May 31, 2006. The increase in this Segments
performance during the quarter is directly related to its improved margins (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 accounts, 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 its 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 its 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 $5.6 million and $3.3 million of
revenue was recognized under these agreements during the quarter ended May 31, 2006 and May 31,
2005 respectively. Sales in foreign countries were not significant for the three months ended May
31, 2006 or May 31, 2005.
We maintain an allowance for doubtful accounts 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.
In view of such uncertainties, investors should not place undue reliance on our
forward-looking statements since such statements speak only as of the date when made. We undertake
no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of
new information, future events or otherwise.

Item 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
Market Risk
We are exposed to market risk from changes in interest rates on debt. A discussion of our
accounting policies for derivative instruments is included in the Summary of Significant Accounting
Policies in the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements.
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 $95.5 million at May 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 May 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 May 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 SECs 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.
