PART I

ITEM 1. BUSINESS

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,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) print and manufacture a broad line of business forms and other business products (the “Print Segment”) and also manufacture a line of activewear (the “Apparel Segment”) for distribution throughout North America. Distribution of business products and forms throughout the United States is primarily through independent dealers. This distributor channel encompasses print distributors, stationers, quick printers, computer software developers, and advertising agencies, among others. The Apparel Segment produces and sells activewear, including t-shirts, fleece goods and other wearables. Distribution of our activewear throughout the United States, Canada and Mexico is primarily through sales representatives. The distributor channel encompasses activewear wholesalers and screen printers. We offer a great selection of high-quality activewear apparel and hats with a wide variety of styles and colors in sizes ranging from toddler to 6XL. The apparel line features a wide variety of tees, fleece, shorts and yoga pants, and two headwear brands.

Business Segment Overview

We are one of the largest providers of business forms to independent distributors in the United States and are also one of the largest providers of blank t-shirts in North America to the activewear market. We operate in two reportable segments — Print and Apparel. For additional financial information concerning segment reporting, please see Note 14 of the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements beginning on page F-25 included elsewhere herein, which information is incorporated herein by reference.

Print Segment

The Print Segment, which represented 50%, 55%, and 56% of our consolidated net sales for the fiscal years ended February 28, 2011, February 28, 2010, and February 28, 2009, respectively, is in the business of manufacturing, designing and selling business forms and other printed business products primarily to distributors located in the United States. The Print Segment operates 38 manufacturing locations throughout the United States in 17 strategically located domestic states. Approximately 96% of the business products manufactured by the Print 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 Business Forms ® , Block Graphics ® , Specialized Printed Forms SM , 360º Custom Labels SM , Enfusion ® , Uncompromised Check Solutions ® , Witt Printing SM , B&D Litho SM , Genforms ® 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 SM (which provides tags and labels, promotional products and advertising concept products); Atlas Tag & Label SM (which provides tags and labels); Trade Envelopes ® and Block Graphics ® (which provide custom and imprinted envelopes) and Northstar ® and General Financial Supply ® (which provide financial and security documents).

The Print Segment sells predominantly through private printers and independent distributors. Northstar and General Financial Supply also sell 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 25 banks in the United States as customers and is actively working on other large banks within the top 25 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 predominantly 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. 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, and advertising agencies.

Raw materials of the Print 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 the traditional business forms industry are the predominant factor in quarterly volume fluctuations.

Apparel Segment

The Apparel Segment represented 50%, 45%, and 44% of our consolidated net sales for the fiscal years ended February 28, 2011, February 28, 2010, and February 28, 2009, respectively, and operates under the name of Alstyle Apparel (“Alstyle”). Alstyle markets high quality knitted activewear (t-shirts, tank tops and fleece) across all market segments. The main products of Alstyle are standardized shirts manufactured in a variety of sizes and colors. Approximately 98% of Alstyle’s revenues are derived from t-shirt sales, with 91% domestic sales. Alstyle’s branded product lines are sold mainly under the AAA and Murina ® brands.

The Apparel Segment operates two manufacturing facilities, one in California (leased), and one in Mexico (owned) and six cut/sew facilities in Mexico (1 in Agua Prieta, 3 in Ensenada, and 2 in Hermosillo). Alstyle’s manufacturing facility located in Anaheim, California, knits domestic cotton yarn and some polyester fibers into tubular material. The material is then dyed and then shipped to one of the cut/sew plants located in Mexico, where it is cut and sewn into finished goods. As part of our transition plan, the Anaheim, CA manufacturing operations will be moving to the new manufacturing facility located in Agua Prieta, Mexico, as construction is completed during fiscal year 2012. Alstyle also ships their dyed fabric to outsourced manufacturers in El Salvador for sewing. After sewing and packaging is completed, the product is shipped to one of Alstyle’s nine distribution centers located across the United States, Canada, and Mexico.

Alstyle utilizes a customer-focused internal sales team comprised of 18 sales representatives assigned to specific geographic territories in the United States, Canada, and Mexico. 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 60% of 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 branded products, with the remainder customer private label products. Generally, sales to screen printers and mass marketers are driven by price and the availability of products, which directly impact inventory level requirements. 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 fiscal quarters generally being the highest. The 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 to which Alstyle sells 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 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 and outsources such products as fleece, hats, shorts, pants and other such activewear apparel from China, Thailand, Pakistan, and other foreign sources to sell to its customers through its sales representatives. Alstyle competes with many branded and private label manufacturers of knit apparel in the United States, Canada, and Mexico, 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. 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.

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 75% of our cotton and yarn from one supplier.

Patents, Licenses, Franchises and Concessions

We do not have any significant patents, licenses, franchises, or concessions.

Customers

No single customer accounts for as much as five percent of our consolidated net sales.

Backlog

At February 28, 2011, our backlog of orders was approximately $33.8 million as compared to approximately $22.1 million at February 28, 2010.

Research and Development

While we continuously look for new products to sell through our distribution channel, there have been no material amounts spent on research and development in the fiscal year ended February 28, 2011.

Environment

We are subject to various federal, state, and local environment laws and regulations concerning, among other things, wastewater discharges, air emissions and solid waste disposal. Our manufacturing processes do not emit substantial foreign substances into the environment. We do not believe that our compliance with federal, state, or local statutes or regulations relating to the protection of the environment has any material effect upon capital expenditures, earnings or our competitive position. There can be no assurance, however, that future changes in federal, state, or local regulations, interpretations of existing regulations or the discovery of currently unknown problems or conditions will not require substantial additional expenditures. Similarly, the extent of our liability, if any, for past failures to comply with laws, regulations, and permits applicable to our operations cannot be determined.

ITEM 1A. 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.

Our results and financial condition are affected by global and local market conditions, and competitors’ pricing strategies, which can adversely affect our sales, margins, and net income.

Our results of operations are substantially affected not only by global economic conditions, but also by local market conditions, and competitors’ pricing strategies, which can vary substantially by market. Unfavorable conditions can depress sales in a given market and may prompt promotional or other actions that adversely affect our margins, constrain our operating flexibility or result in charges. Certain macroeconomic events, such as the recent crisis in the financial markets, could have a more wide-ranging and prolonged impact on the general business environment, which could also adversely affect us. Whether we can manage these risks effectively depends mainly on the following:

| • | Our ability to manage upward pressure on commodity prices and the impact of
government actions to manage national economic conditions such as consumer spending,
inflation rates and unemployment levels, particularly given the current volatility in
the global financial markets; |
| --- | --- |
| • | The impact on our margins of labor costs given our labor-intensive business model,
the trend toward higher wages in both mature and developing markets and the potential
impact of union organizing efforts on day-to-day operations of our manufacturing
facilities. |

Declining economic conditions could negatively impact our business.

Our operations are affected by local, national and worldwide economic conditions. Markets in the United States and elsewhere have been experiencing extreme volatility and disruption due in part to the financial stresses affecting the liquidity of the banking system and the financial markets generally. The consequences of a potential or prolonged recession may include a lower level of economic activity and uncertainty regarding energy prices and the capital and commodity markets. A lower level of economic activity might result in a decline in demand for our products, which may adversely affect our revenues and future growth. Instability in the financial markets, as a result of recession or otherwise, also may affect our cost of capital and our ability to raise capital.

The terms and conditions of our credit facility impose certain restrictions on our operations. We may not be able to raise additional capital, if needed, for proposed expansion projects.

The terms and conditions of our credit facility impose certain restrictions on our ability to incur additional debt, make capital expenditures, acquisitions, asset dispositions, as well as other customary covenants, such as minimum equity level and total funded debt to EBITDA, as defined. Our ability to comply with the covenants may be affected by events beyond our control, such as distressed and volatile financial markets which could trigger an impairment charge to our recorded intangible assets. A breach of any of these covenants could result in a default under our credit facility. In the event of a default, the bank could elect to declare the outstanding principal amount of our credit facility, all interest thereon, and all other amounts payable under our credit facility to be immediately due and payable. As of February 28, 2011, we were in compliance with all terms and conditions of our credit facility, which matures on August 18, 2012.

Declining financial market conditions could adversely impact the funding status of our pension plan.

We maintain a defined-benefit pension plan covering approximately 11% of our employees. Included in our financial results are pension costs that are measured using actuarial valuations. The actuarial assumptions used may differ from actual results. In addition, as our pension assets are invested in marketable securities, severe fluctuations in market values could potentially negatively impact our funding status, recorded pension liability, and future required minimum contribution levels.

We may be required to write down goodwill and other intangible assets 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 the excess of the purchase price over the net identifiable tangible assets acquired. The annual impairment test is based on several factors requiring judgment. A decline in market conditions may indicate potential impairment of goodwill. An impairment test was completed for our fiscal year February 28, 2011, and we concluded that no impairment charge was necessary. At February 28, 2011, our goodwill and other intangible assets were approximately $117.3 million and $76.3 million, respectively.

Digital technologies will continue to erode the demand for our printed business documents.

The increasing sophistication of software, internet technologies, and digital equipment combined with our customers’ general preference, as well as governmental influences, for paperless business environments will continue to reduce the number of printed documents sold. Moreover, the documents that will continue to coexist with software applications will likely contain less value-added print content.

Many of our custom-printed documents help companies control their internal business processes and facilitate the flow of information. These applications will increasingly be conducted over the internet or through other electronic payment systems. The predominant method of our clients’ communication to their customers is by printed information. As their customers become more accepting of internet communications, our clients may increasingly opt for the less costly electronic option, which would reduce our revenue. The pace of these trends is difficult to predict. These factors will tend to reduce the industry-wide demand for printed documents and require us to gain market share to maintain or increase our current level of print-based revenue.

In response to the gradual obsolescence of our standardized forms business, we continue to develop our capability to provide custom and full-color products. If new printing capabilities and new product introductions do not continue to offset the obsolescence of our standardized business forms products, and we aren’t able to increase our market share, our sales and profits will be affected. 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.

Folio 7 /Folio

PAGEBREAK

Table of Contents

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 February 28, 2011, approximately 15% of our domestic employees are represented by labor unions under collective bargaining agreements, which are subject to periodic renegotiations. Four unions represent all of our hourly employees in Mexico. While we feel we have a good working relationship with all the unions, there can be no assurance that any future labor negotiations will prove successful, which may result in a significant increase in the cost of labor, or may break down and result in the disruption of our business or operations.

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 or material shortages 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 35% of the manufactured product cost. Alstyle acquires its yarn from three major sources that meet stringent quality and on-time delivery requirements. The largest supplier provided 75% of Alstyle’s yarn requirements during the year and has an entire yarn mill dedicated to Alstyle’s production. To maintain our high standard of color control associated with our apparel products, we purchase our dyeing chemicals from limited sources. 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.

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 price increases or other factors that relate to our paper products could have a material adverse effect on our operating results.

Both cotton and paper are commodities that are subject to periodic increases or decreases in price, sometimes quite significant. There is no effective market to cost-effectively insulate us against unexpected changes in price of paper, and corporate negotiated purchase contracts provide only limited protection against price increases. We generally acquire our cotton yarn under short-term purchase contracts with our suppliers. While we generally do not use derivative instruments, including cotton option contracts, to manage our exposure to movements in cotton market prices, we believe we are competitive with other companies in the United States apparel industry in negotiating the price of cotton. During the previous fiscal year, spot cotton prices increased significantly , however, manufacturers were able to insulate themselves from some of these increases with forward purchase contracts. However, because spot cotton prices have remained at these levels for a sustained period of time, most of these favorable forward contracts have expired and higher cotton costs are starting to impact all manufacturer’s inventory costs. When cotton or paper prices are increased, we attempt to recover the higher costs by raising the prices of our products to our customers. In the price-competitive marketplaces in which we operate, we may not always be able to pass through any or all of the higher costs. As such, any significant increase in the price of paper or cotton or shortages in the availability of either, could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations.

We face 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 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 and quality products to its customers. Even if this strategy is successful, its results may be offset by reductions in demand or price declines due to competitors’ pricing strategies. Our Print Segment

also faces the risk of our competition following a strategy of selling their products at or below cost in order to cover some amount of fixed costs, especially in distressed economic times.

The apparel industry is heavily influenced by general economic cycles.

The apparel industry is cyclical and dependent upon the overall level of discretionary consumer spending, which changes as regional, domestic and international economic conditions change. These include, but are not limited to, employment levels, energy costs, interest rates, tax rates, personal debt levels, and uncertainty about the future. Any deterioration in general economic conditions that creates uncertainty or alters discretionary consumer spending habits could reduce our sales, increase our costs of goods sold or require us to significantly modify our current business practices, and consequently negatively impact our results of operations.

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

Alstyle operates manufacturing facilities in Mexico and sources certain product manufacturing and purchases from El Salvador, Thailand, India, Pakistan and China. Alstyle’s foreign operations could be subject to unexpected changes in regulatory requirements, tariffs, and other market barriers, political and economic instability and social unrest 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.

In addition, after the transition of its manufacturing operations in Anaheim, CA to Agua Prieta, MX, all Alstyle’s knit and dye operations will be located in one facility. Any disruptions in operations through any of the above factors, as well as others, could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s operational results.

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 six plants located in Mexico in order to take advantage of the NAFTA benefits. It will be manufacturing all its products in Mexico, once the transition from its manufacturing plant in Anaheim, CA to Agua Prieta, Mexico is completed this fiscal year. 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 are 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 gives duty-free benefits to some apparel made in Central America that contains certain fabrics from NAFTA partners Mexico and Canada. Alstyle outsourced approximately 16% of its sewing to contract manufacturers in El Salvador during the year, and we do not anticipate that alteration or subsequent repeal of CAFTA would 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 United States 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. A reduction of import quotas and tariffs 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.

Our new apparel manufacturing facility in Mexico is subject to certain risks regarding sales growth and cost savings, as well as transition risks associated with moving the current production.

Our new manufacturing facility is being built to capture anticipated future growth and savings in production costs over our current cost structure in Anaheim, CA. In conjunction with the completion of this new facility in Agua Prieta, Mexico, we will be transitioning our current knit and dye manufacturing capacity from Anaheim, CA to Agua Prieta, Mexico. Should such growth or production savings not materialize, or should the timeline for our transition from Anaheim, CA to Agua Prieta, Mexico be delayed, such events may impact our ability to achieve our expected return and/or could negatively impact our operational results and financial condition.

We are exposed to the risk of non-payment by our customers on a significant amount of our sales.

Our extension of credit involves considerable judgment and is based on an evaluation of each customer’s financial condition and payment history. We monitor our credit risk exposure by periodically obtaining credit reports and updated financials on our customers. We saw a heightened amount of bankruptcies by our customers, especially retailers, during the recent economic downturn. While we maintain an allowance for doubtful receivables for potential credit losses based upon our historical trends and other available information, in times of economic turmoil, there is heightened risk that our historical indicators may prove to be inaccurate. The inability to collect on sales to significant customers or a group of customers could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations.

Our business incurs significant freight and transportation costs.

We incur significant freight costs to transport our goods, especially as it relates to our Apparel Segment where we transport our product from our domestic textile plant to foreign sewing facilities and then to bring our goods back into the United States. In addition, we incur transportation expenses to ship our products to our customers. Significant increases in the costs of freight and transportation could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations, as there can be no assurance that we could pass these increased costs to our customers.

The price of energy is prone to significant fluctuations and volatility.

Our apparel manufacturing operations require high inputs of energy, and therefore changes in energy prices directly impact our gross profit margins. We are focusing on manufacturing methods that will reduce the amount of energy used in the production of our apparel products to mitigate the rising costs of energy. Significant increases in energy prices could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations, as there can be no assurance that we could pass these increased costs to our customers, given the competitive environment in which our Apparel segment operates.

We rely on independent contract production for a portion of our apparel production.

We have historically relied on third party suppliers to provide a portion of our cut and sew apparel production. During the current year, approximately 16% of our production was provided by the third party suppliers. While we feel this risk has been and will continue to be mitigated over time as our new manufacturing facility in Agua Prieta, Mexico comes on line, any shortage of supply, production disruptions, shipping delays, regulatory changes, significant price increases from our suppliers, in the short-term, could adversely affect our apparel operating results.

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

Increases in the cost of employee benefits could impact the Company’s financial results and cash flow.

The Company’s expenses relating to employee health benefits are significant. Unfavorable changes in the cost of such benefits could impact the Company’s financial results and cash flow. Healthcare costs have risen significantly in recent years, and recent legislative and private sector initiatives regarding healthcare reform could result in significant changes to the U.S. healthcare system. The Company is not able at this time to determine the impact that healthcare reform could have on the Company-sponsored medical plans.

There are no unresolved staff comments.

ITEM 2. PROPERTIES

Our corporate headquarters are located in Midlothian, Texas. We operate manufacturing and distribution facilities throughout the United States and in Mexico and Canada. See the table below for additional information on our locations.

All of the Print Segment properties are used for the production, warehousing and shipping of the following: business forms, flexographic printing, advertising specialties and Post-it ® Notes (Wolfe City, Texas); presentation products (Macomb, Michigan and Anaheim, California); and printed and electronic promotional media (Denver, Colorado); envelopes (Portland, Oregon; Columbus, Kansas and Tullahoma, Tennessee); financial forms (Minneapolis/St. Paul, Minnesota; Nevada, Iowa and Bridgewater, Virginia) and other business products. The Apparel Segment properties are used for the manufacturing or distribution of t-shirts and other activewear apparel.

Our plants are being operated at production levels required to meet forecasted customer demands. Production levels fluctuate with market demands and depends upon the product mix at any given point in time. Equipment is added as existing machinery becomes obsolete or not repairable, and as new equipment becomes necessary to meet market demands; however, at any given time, these additions and replacements are not considered to be material additions to property, plant and equipment, although such additions or replacements may increase a plant’s efficiency or capacity.

All of the foregoing facilities are considered to be in good condition. We do not anticipate that substantial expansion, refurbishing, or re-equipping will be required in the near future.

All of the rented property is held under leases with original terms of one or more years, expiring at various times through December 2015. No difficulties are presently foreseen in maintaining or renewing such leases as they expire.

Overview

The Company — We are one of the largest providers of business forms to independent distributors in the United States and are also one of the largest providers of blank t-shirts in North America to the activewear market. We operate in two reportable segments — Print and Apparel.

Our Print Business Challenges — In our Print segment, we are engaged in an industry undergoing significant changes. Technology advances have made electronic distribution of documents, internet hosting, digital printing and print on demand valid, cost-effective alternatives to traditional custom printed documents and customer communications. In addition, the downturn in the economy and turmoil in the credit markets in 2009 and 2010 have created highly competitive conditions in an already over-supplied, price-competitive industry. Thus, we believe we are facing the following challenges in the Print Segment of our business:

•	Transformation of our portfolio of products
•	Excess production capacity and price competition within our industry
•	Economic uncertainties

The following is a discussion of these business challenges and our strategy for managing their effect on our print business.

Folio 16 /Folio

PAGEBREAK

Table of Contents

Transformation of our portfolio of products — Traditional business documents are essential in order to conduct business. However, many are being replaced or devalued with advances in digital technologies, causing steady declines in demand for a large portion of our current product line. The same digital advances also introduce potential new opportunities for growth for us, such as print-on-demand services and product offerings that assist customers in their transition to digital business environments. We currently have many innovative products, such as our recently introduced healthcare wristbands, secure document solutions, and innovative in-mold label offerings, which address important business needs, and we feel are positioned for growth. In addition, we will continue to look for new market opportunities and niches, such as our addition of our envelope offerings, that provide us with an opportunity for growth and differentiate us from our competition. Transforming our product offerings to continue to provide innovative, valuable solutions to our customers on a proactive basis will require us to make investments in new and existing technology and to develop key strategic business relationships.

Excess production capacity and price competition within our industry — Paper mills continue to adjust production capacity through downtime and closures to attempt to keep supply in line with demand. Due to the limited number of paper mills, paper prices have been and are expected to remain fairly volatile. In 2010, we saw our material prices stabilize due to the depressed economic conditions. However, during fiscal year 2011, with the improving economy, paper mills, as expected, returned to their past practices of increasing paper prices.

Despite a continued competitive marketplace, we have generally been able to pass through increased paper costs, although it can often take several quarters to push these through due to the custom nature of our products and/or contractual relationships with some of our customers. We expect this trend to continue; however, any downturn in the economy may limit our ability to recover all these costs. As such, we will continue to focus our efforts on effectively managing and controlling our product costs to minimize the effects of the foregoing on our operational results, primarily through the use of forecasting models, and production and costing models. However, an inherent risk in this process is that our assumptions are inaccurate, which could have a negative impact on our reported profit margins.

Economic uncertainties — As a result of the recessionary conditions of 2009 and 2010, the economic climate has been volatile and challenging. Decreased demand and intense price competition resulted in significant declines in our revenue during those fiscal years as well during most of fiscal year 2011. Although we have seen slight improvements in some economic indicators within our markets, a continued weak job market will continue to present a challenging environment for revenue growth. As we cannot predict the pace of the economic recovery or its continuance, we will continue to be focused on customer retention, expanding our growth targeted products and continuing to develop new market niches. In addition, we have proven a history of managing our costs and wouldn’t expect this to change in the future.

Our Apparel Business Challenges — In our Apparel segment, our market niche is highly competitive, commodity driven and is generally dominated by a limited number of players. The downturn in the economy and turmoil in the credit markets in 2009 and 2010 created an over-supply situation which further increased competitive pressures in this market. Cotton, which represents 35% of our costs, is a commodity product and subject to volatile fluctuations in price, due to general market conditions, domestic and international demand, perceived availability, international actions, etc. As such, our operational costs are subject to significant swings, which may or may not be passed on to the marketplace due to competitive or economic conditions, competitors’ pricing strategies, etc. Thus, we believe we are facing the following challenges in our Apparel Segment business in fiscal 2012:

• Cotton prices

• Start-up of and transition to our new manufacturing facility

• Economic uncertainties

Cotton prices — Due to shortage of supply and other international factors, domestic cotton prices are at high levels not seen in years. While there has been some abatement in prices of late, spot and future prices are still at levels significantly higher than historical averages. Whether or not prices will stay at current levels for a sustained period of time, or continue to recede is unknown. Due to current cotton pricing, we believe most large manufacturers are relatively short with respect to their cotton purchases, which increases their risk to potential volatility in swings in cotton prices. We believe we are competitive with other companies in the United States apparel industry in negotiating the price of cotton and as such we do not feel we are at a competitive disadvantage from a cotton cost perspective. While the market has over the past year absorbed a certain level of price increase due to previous increases in cotton costs, it is unknown at this time whether the market will allow the manufacturers to pass further price increases through to offset the current level of cotton pricing and whether our competitors will in fact attempt to pass through these costs.

Completion of new manufacturing facility — We are nearing the completion of Phase 1 on our new state-of-the art manufacturing facility located in Agua Prieta, Mexico (the “Project”). Upon completion, expenditures associated with this facility are still expected to be in the range of $50.0 million to $54.0 million ($26.0 million for the building and $24.0 million — $28.00 million for machinery and equipment), with approximately 93% of the money having been expended to date. At the completion of Phase 1 of the Project (expected to be by the end of May 2011), we expect this facility will be able to produce approximately 1.0 million pounds of fabric per week, with the eventual capacity to be between 2.6 million to 2.8 million pounds per week. This compares to our previous capacity of approximately 1.6 million to 1.8 million pounds per week in our Anaheim facility.

During the ramp up of this facility and the phase out of our current manufacturing facility in Anaheim, CA, there will be considerable duplicate costs, inefficiencies, moving costs, etc. that will have a negative impact on the apparel segment’s fiscal year 2012 operating results. Our plan is to try to contain the remaining portion of these costs to the first six months of fiscal year 2012, through an accelerated ramp up schedule. Our current estimate of the negative impact of the start-up and ramp up costs of this facility remains at approximately $4.0 million to $5.0 million in fiscal 2012. The negative impact associated with this facility was approximately $4.6 million for the fiscal year ended February 28, 2011. The success of this plan continues to be dependent on meeting key targets and any delay in the start-up/wind-down schedule could add significantly to these costs. Once fully operational and the transition complete, and with sell-through levels of 2.6 million pounds to 2.8 million pounds per week, we continue to anticipate significant manufacturing efficiencies will be realized. The original estimate of the annualized cost savings associated with this facility was between $10.0 million to $15.0 million per annum. However, a certain portion of the savings associated with the conversion of our dye machines have already been realized in our current manufacturing facility, hence part of the reason for the improvement in our operating margins in fiscal year 2011. Nonetheless, we continue to anticipate a substantial savings in costs associated with this facility once fully operational and the transition has been completed and the production levels have been obtained.

Economic uncertainties — As a result of the recessionary conditions of 2009 and 2010, the economic climate has been volatile and challenging. Decreased demand and intense price competition resulted in significant declines in our revenue during fiscal year 2009 and 2010. Although we have seen an increase in our apparel revenues during fiscal year 2011, and would expect such to continue, continued high unemployment and housing sector weakness and international instability all could potentially undermine the fragile state of the current economic recovery which could have a negative impact on our revenues. As we cannot predict the pace of the economic recovery, or the continuance of the recent positive trends in unemployment numbers, we will be highly focused on customer retention, expanding our growth targeted markets and managing our costs (both the start-up and operational costs).

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

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, pension plan obligations, 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 our 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. As our pension assets are invested in marketable securities, fluctuations in market values could potentially impact our funding status and associated liability recorded.

Amounts allocated to amortizable intangibles are determined based on valuation analysis for our acquisitions and are amortized over their expected useful lives. We evaluate these amounts periodically (at least once a year) to determine whether a triggering event has occurred during the year that would indicate potential impairment.

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 long lived assets. 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. At February 28, 2011, our goodwill and other intangible assets were approximately $117.3 million and $76.3 million, respectively. No impairment charge was required for the year ended February 28, 2011 based on the results of our annual impairment test. The carrying value of invested capital for each reporting unit as compared to their fair value at February 28, 2011 was as follows:

	Carrying Value of	Fair Value of
Reporting Unit	Invested Capital	Invested Capital
Apparel	$299.9 million	$376.0 million
Print	$124.2 million	$272.0 million

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. However, we cannot predict the occurrence of future impairments or specific 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, we print and store custom print product for customer specified future delivery, generally within twelve 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 $10.4 million, $12.4 million, and $18.3 million of revenue were recognized under these agreements during fiscal years ended February 28, 2011, February 28, 2010, and February 28, 2009, respectively.

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 market 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 sheets. We must then assess the likelihood that our deferred tax assets will be recovered from future taxable income. 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 earnings. 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 assessments 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.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In January 2010, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) amended authoritative guidance for improving disclosures about fair value measurements. The updated guidance requires new disclosures about recurring or nonrecurring fair value measurements, including significant transfers into and out of Level 1 and Level 2 fair value measurements and information on purchases, sales, issuances, and settlements on a gross basis in the reconciliation of Level 3 fair value measurements. The guidance also clarified existing fair value measurement disclosure guidance about the level of disaggregation, inputs, and valuation techniques. The adoption of the new guidance on March 1, 2010 had no impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements and disclosures.

Net Sales. Net sales began to rebound in fiscal year 2011 after being impacted by the significant economic downturn which began during the later part of our third quarter of fiscal year 2009. The volatile economic conditions of 2009 and 2010 and the resulting lower demand led an already competitive market environment to a weaker selling price environment, as manufacturers tried to maintain their production levels/market share. We saw this trend reverse somewhat during the latest fiscal year as the economy started to strengthen, which allowed manufacturers, for the most part, to pass along raw material costs increases and to realize some unit volume sales gains. Net sales for fiscal year 2011 were $550.0 million, compared to $517.7 million for fiscal year 2010, an increase of $32.3 million, or 6.2%. Net sales declined by $66.3 million, or 11.4% during fiscal year 2010 as compared to fiscal year 2009.

Cost of Goods Sold. Our manufacturing costs increased by $13.1 million from $382.4 million for fiscal year 2010 to $395.5 million for fiscal year 2011, or 3.4% while our sales increased 6.2% over that same period. As a result our gross profit margin (net sales less cost of goods sold) improved 200 basis points over the comparable period last year from 26.1% for fiscal year 2010 to 28.1% for fiscal year 2011, through increased operational efficiencies due to increased unit sales, increased unit selling price, and product mix changes.

Due to our cost-side focused approach during fiscal year 2010 and some favorable cotton pricing during the fourth quarter ended February 28, 2010, we were able to reduce our cost of goods sold by 13.2% during fiscal year 2010. This resulted in our consolidated gross profit margin (net sales less cost of goods sold) increasing by 150 basis points, from 24.6% in fiscal 2009 to 26.1% in fiscal 2010.

Selling, general, and administrative expenses. For fiscal year 2011, our selling, general and administrative expenses increased approximately $7.0 million, or 9.1% from $76.7 million, or 14.8% of sales for fiscal year 2010 to $83.7 million, or 15.2% of sales for fiscal year 2011. The increase in our selling, general and administrative expenses was basically volume related; however, we did incur increases in our credit card fees due to increased customer usage as well as performance incentive costs during the year. In addition, we had approximately $1.2 million in one-time credits during fiscal year 2010 which did not repeat in fiscal year 2011.

For fiscal year 2010, our selling, general and administrative expenses decreased approximately $9.5 million, or 11.0% from $86.2 million, or 14.8% of sales for fiscal year 2009 to $76.7 million, or 14.8% of sales for fiscal year 2010. As a percentage of sales these expenses remained the same for both years, while on a dollar basis, these expenses decreased primarily as a result of our continual cost control initiatives and the focus of being cost-side driven during these difficult economic times.

Gain from disposal of assets. The gain from disposal of assets of $1,000 for both fiscal years ended February 28, 2011 and 2010 resulted from sale of equipment.

Income from operations. Our income from operations for fiscal year 2011 increased $12.2 million from operational earnings of $58.6 million, or 11.3% of sales for fiscal year 2010, to operational earnings of $70.8 million, or 12.9% of sales for fiscal year 2011. The increase in our operational earnings during fiscal year 2011, related primarily to our improved consolidated gross profit margin, offset by slightly higher selling, general and administrative costs.

Our income from operations for fiscal year 2010 increased from an operational loss of $10.1 million, or -1.7% of sales for fiscal year 2009, to operational earnings of $58.6 million, or 11.3% of sales for fiscal year 2010. The increase in our operational earnings during fiscal year 2010, related primarily to our improved consolidated gross profit margin, reduced selling, general and administrative costs, and the lack of a comparable non-cash impairment charge in 2010 like we incurred in fiscal year 2009.

Other income and expense. Our interest expense was $1.2 million, $2.6 million and $3.4 million for fiscal years 2011, 2010 and 2009, respectively. Our interest expense decreased in fiscal year 2011 due mainly to increased capitalized interest related to our Agua Prieta facility and in fiscal year 2010 due to less debt on average being outstanding. During fiscal year 2011, we capitalized interest expense relating to our Agua Prieta, Mexico construction project of $1.7 million compared to $0.3 million for fiscal year 2010. No interest was capitalized during fiscal year 2009.

Provision for income taxes. Our effective tax rates for fiscal years 2011, 2010 and 2009 were 35.7%, 36.8% and -150.9%, respectively. Our rate for fiscal year 2011 reduced over our rate for fiscal year 2010 due to an increase in our Domestic Production Activities Deduction credit. Our effective tax rate for 2009 was impacted by the non-deductible goodwill impairment charge.

Net earnings. Our net earnings increased from $35.2 million, or 6.8% of sales for fiscal year 2010 to earnings of $44.6 million, or 8.1% of sales for fiscal year 2011. Basic earnings per share increased from earnings of $1.37 per share for fiscal year 2010 to earnings of $1.73 per share for fiscal year 2011. Diluted earnings per share increased from earnings of $1.36 per share for fiscal year 2010 to earnings of $1.72 per share for fiscal year 2011. The increase in net earnings during the period related primarily to our improved operational margin.

Our net earnings increased from a loss of $32.8 million, or -5.6% of sales for fiscal year 2009 to earnings of $35.2 million, or 6.8% of sales for fiscal year 2010. Basic earnings per share increased from a loss of $1.27 per share for fiscal year 2009 to earnings of $1.37 per share for fiscal year 2010. Diluted earnings per share increased from a loss of $1.27 per share for fiscal year 2009 to earnings of $1.36 per share for fiscal year 2010. The increase in net earnings during the period related primarily to the lack of a non-cash impairment charge as was incurred in fiscal year 2009.

Print Segment . The print segment net sales represented 50.0%, 55.0%, and 56.0% of our consolidated net sales for fiscal years 2011, 2010, and 2009, respectively.

Our print sales declined by $9.6 million, or 3.4% during the fiscal year 2011 and $44.7 million, or 13.7% during fiscal year 2010, when compared to the preceding fiscal year. The decline in our print sales particularly in 2010, was primarily due to the severe economic recession which started during the later part of our third quarter of the fiscal year 2009. In addition to the general impact of the economic recession on our sales, the adoption of digital technologies continues to erode revenues from our traditional print business. The evolution to digital technology has been transpiring for some time now, and we would expect this to continue into the future. The turbulent economy also led to weaker pricing in an already competitive industry as our customers sought cost savings to improve their own profitability in the light of declining sales.

Apparel Segment . The Apparel Segment net sales represented 50.0% , 45.0%, and 44.0% of our consolidated net sales for fiscal years 2011, 2010 and 2009, respectively.

Our fiscal year 2011 net sales for the Apparel Segment increased by $41.9 million, or 17.8% over fiscal year 2010, while our 2010 net sales decreased by $21.6 million, or 8.4% over fiscal 2009. Due to improving economic factors, we were able to increase our unit sales to new and existing customers by approximately 10.5% and increase our average unit selling price by approximately 7.3% during fiscal year 2011 . The decrease in our fiscal year 2010 sales, due to economic factors, was generally contained to the first three quarters where we saw our apparel sales decline by $33.3 million, or 15.6%. As the economy started to improve and retailers started to experience some comparable sales growth, we were able to partially offset this sales decline with a fourth quarter sales gain of $11.7 million, or 26.9%.

Gross Profit by Segment (in thousands)	Fiscal Years Ended — 2011	2010	2009

Total	$ 154,498	$ 135,319	$ 143,476

Print Segment. Our print gross profit margin (“margin”), as a percent of sales, was 28.3%, 27.6% and 26.1% for fiscal years 2011, 2010 and 2009, respectively. In fiscal 2011 we saw our material prices rise; however, we have been able to offset these price increases through selling price increases and operational improvements. In fiscal 2010 we saw our material prices stabilize due to depressed economic conditions. As such, we were able to fully realize the benefits associated with our costs control initiatives started during fiscal 2009.

Apparel Segment . Our apparel margin, as a percent of sales, was 27.9%, 24.4% and 22.6%, for fiscal years 2011, 2010 and 2009, respectively.

We were able to increase our margin by 350 basis points during fiscal year 2011 through an increase in our unit sales price and improved operational efficiencies which have been able to offset our higher raw material costs. During the previous fiscal year, spot cotton prices increased significantly, however, manufacturers were able to insulate themselves from some of these increases with forward purchase contracts. However, because spot cotton prices have remained at these levels for a sustained period of time, most of these favorable forward contracts have expired and higher cotton costs are starting to impact all manufacturer’s inventory costs. As such, while we have to date been able to offset the higher costs of cotton, we continue to be concerned with current cotton pricing, and the potential impact upon our operation results for fiscal year 2012. Our ability to manage this potential cost increase will be dependent upon many factors, a number of which are outside of our control, such as the continued economic recovery of the United States, outside market factors such as availability of cotton and the actions of our competitors.

Cost control was a major factor in the improvement of our margin for 2010. Gas prices were more favorable in 2010 as compared to 2009 and, combined with lower chemical and other input costs, helped to partially offset the reduction in sales for the year. In addition all non-essential overtime was eliminated and a period of 4 day manufacturing was implemented in our main fabric producing plant in Anaheim for a portion of the year without impacting our reported margin. We were also able to take advantage, during the fourth quarter, of lower cotton prices which we had locked in at previously contracted prices earlier in the year when cotton was selling at a much lower price per pound.

Earnings (loss) before income taxes	$ 69,417	$ 55,669	$ (13,059	)

Print Segment . As a percent of sales, our Print Segment’s profits were 16.9%, 16.3%, and 15.8% for fiscal years 2011, 2010 and 2009, respectively. Our Print Segment’s profit for fiscal year 2011 remained level at $46.0 million, the same as for fiscal year 2010.

While our Print Segment’s profit on a percentage basis increased for fiscal year 2010 over fiscal year 2009, on a dollar basis it decreased by approximately $5.5 million, or 10.7%. The decrease in our Print profit during fiscal year 2010 related to the 13.7% decline in our sales during the period, as previously discussed.

Apparel Segment. As a percent of sales, our Apparel Segment’s profits were 15.4%, 10.5%, and -19.2%. During the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2009 we recorded a non-cash impairment charge of $63.2 million and $4.7 million to goodwill and trademarks, respectively. The increase in our Apparel profits during both fiscal year 2011 and 2010 related primarily to our improved gross profit margins for these years due to the factors previously discussed. In addition to the significant improvement in our gross profits margins as noted earlier, during fiscal year 2010 cost cutting in selling, general, and administrative expenses were achieved following a review of our advertising and marketing activities.

Working Capital	$ 135,300	$ 116,638	16.0 %
Cash	$ 12,305	$ 21,063	-41.6 %

Working Capital. Our working capital increased by approximately $18.7 million, or 16.0% from $116.6 million at February 28, 2010 to $135.3 million at February 28, 2011. The increase in our working capital during the period related primarily to the increase in our inventories on hand, which increased in anticipation of our transition of our manufacturing from Anaheim, CA to Agua Prieta, Mexico. Our current ratio, calculated by dividing our current assets by our current liabilities, increased from 3.3-to-1.0 at February 28, 2010 to 3.9-to-1.0 at February 28, 2011, due to the increased inventory on hand.

(Dollars in thousands)	Fiscal Years Ended — 2011		2010	Change

Net Cash used in investing activities	$ (35,985	)	$ (20,244	)	77.8 %
Net Cash used in financing activities	$ (6,005	)	$ (50,488	)	-88.1 %

Cash flows from operating activities. Cash flows from operations during fiscal 2011 decreased by $49.8 million, or 60.3% over fiscal year 2010, which had increased by $38.4 million, or 86.7% over fiscal year 2009. The change in our cash flows from operating activities from 2010 to 2011, of approximately $49.8 million, related primarily to the change in our inventory levels. During fiscal year 2011, we used cash to build our inventories by approximately $24.0 million in anticipation of our move to Agua Prieta, whereas during fiscal year 2010 we generated approximately $27.0 million in cash through reducing our inventory levels to help fund the construction of our new manufacturing facility.

Cash flows from investing activities. Cash used for our investing activities, which relates primarily to capital expenditures, increased by $15.7 million, or 77.8% from $20.2 million for fiscal year 2010 to $36.0 million for fiscal year 2011. The increase in our capital expenditures relates primarily to our new Apparel manufacturing facility located in Agua Prieta, Mexico. For contractual commitments remaining in connection with the construction of this facility — see “Contractual Obligations & Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements” section following in this Report.

Cash flows from financing activities. We used $44.5 million less in cash associated with our financing activities in fiscal year 2011 when compared to the same period last year. We did not repay any debt in fiscal year ended 2011, as compared to $34.2 million during fiscal year ended 2010. We borrowed an additional $10.0 million against our revolving credit line in fiscal 2011 relating to our inventory build of finished goods at our Apparel Segment.

Stock Repurchase — On October 20, 2008, our Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of up to $5.0 million of our common stock through a stock repurchase program. Under the board-approved repurchase program, share purchases may be made from time to time in the open market or through privately negotiated transactions depending on market conditions, share price, trading volume and other factors, and such purchases, if any will be made in accordance with applicable insider trading and other securities laws and regulations. These repurchases may be commenced or suspended at any time or from time to time without prior notice. While no shares have been purchased this fiscal year under the program, as of February 28, 2011, there have been 96,000 shares of our common stock that have been purchased under the repurchase program at an average price per share of $10.45. Unrelated to the stock repurchase program, we purchased 91 shares of common stock during the fiscal year ended February 28, 2011.

Credit Facility — On August 18, 2009, we entered into a Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (the “Facility”) with a group of lenders led by Bank of America, N.A. (the “Lenders”). The Facility provides us access to $150.0 million in revolving credit, which we may increase to $200.0 million in certain circumstances, and matures on August 18, 2012. The Facility bears interest at the London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) plus a spread ranging from 2.0% to 3.5% (LIBOR + 2.25% or 2.51% at February 28, 2011 and 2.48% at February 28, 2010), depending on our total funded debt to EBITDA ratio, as defined. As of February 28, 2011, we had $50.0 million of borrowings under the revolving credit line and $3.2 million outstanding under standby letters of credit arrangements, leaving us availability of approximately $96.8 million. The Facility contains financial covenants, restrictions on capital expenditures, acquisitions, asset dispositions, and additional debt, as well as other customary covenants, such as total funded debt to EBITDA ratio, as defined. We are in compliance with all these covenants as of February 28, 2011. The Facility is secured by substantially all of our domestic assets as well as all capital securities of each Domestic Subsidiary and 65% of all capital securities of each direct Foreign Subsidiary.

During fiscal year 2011, we borrowed $10.0 million and we did not pay any additional amounts on the revolver. It is anticipated that the available line of credit is sufficient to cover, should it be required, working capital required for the foreseeable future.

We use derivative financial instruments to manage our exposures to interest rate fluctuations on our floating rate $150.0 million revolving credit maturing August 18, 2012. We account for our derivatives as cash flow hedges and record them as either assets or liabilities in the balance sheet, measure those instruments at fair value and recognize changes in the fair value of derivatives in earnings in the period of change, unless the derivative qualifies as an effective hedge that offsets certain exposures, at which time the changes in fair value would be recorded in Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income.

On July 7, 2008, we entered into a three-year Interest Rate Swap Agreement (“Swap”) for a notional amount of $40.0 million. The Swap effectively fixes the LIBOR rate at 3.79%. The Swap was designated as a cash flow hedge, and the fair value at February 28, 2011 was $(0.6) million, $(0.4) million net of deferred taxes. The Swap was reported on the Consolidated Balance Sheet in current installments of long-term debt with a related deferred charge recorded as a component of other comprehensive income.

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 Income Security Act of 1974 (“ERISA”). We anticipate that we will contribute from $2.0 million to $3.0 million during our next fiscal year. We made contributions of $3.0 million to our pension plan during each of our last 3 fiscal years. As our pension assets are invested in marketable securities, fluctuations in market values could potentially impact our funding status, associated liabilities recorded and future required minimum contributions. At February 28, 2011, we had an unfunded pension liability recorded on our balance sheet of $2.0 million.

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. We have long-term contracts in effect (that govern prices, but do not require minimum volume) with paper and yarn suppliers. Certain of our rebate programs do, however, require minimum purchase volumes. Management anticipates meeting the required volumes.

Capital Expenditures — We expect our capital requirements for 2012, exclusive of capital required for possible acquisitions and the completion of our new manufacturing facility in Agua Prieta, Mexico, will be in line with our historical levels of between $4.0 million and $5.0 million. We expect to fund these expenditures through existing cash flows. We expect to generate sufficient cash flows from our operating activities to cover our operating and other normal capital requirements for our foreseeable future.

On June 26, 2008, we announced plans to build a new manufacturing facility in the town of Agua Prieta in the state of Sonora, Mexico. At the time we estimated that the total capital expenditures associated with this facility would be between $50.0 million and $54.0 million ($26.0 million for the building and $24.0 million — $28.0 million for machinery and equipment). The construction of the new state of the art manufacturing facility is close to completion, with most of the new equipment installed. To date we have spent approximately $50.5 million. We are now in the midst of transitioning both equipment and production from our existing manufacturing facility located in Anaheim, CA to our new manufacturing facility. We expect to be completed with this process by the end of the second quarter of this fiscal year. We continue to expect that the remaining funding for this project will be provided by internal cash flow and, as required, by our existing credit facilities. We expect this facility to be producing at 1.0 million pounds per week by the end of the first fiscal quarter of 2012 and between 1.4 to 1.6 million pounds per week by the end of our second fiscal quarter with an estimated capacity of approximately 2.6 to 2.8 million pounds per week.

Contractual Obligations & Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements — There have been no significant changes in our contractual obligations since February 28, 2011 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 February 28, 2011 (in thousands).

Subsequent to February 28, 2011 and through May 10, 2011, we made no additional repayments on our revolving credit facility. We expect future interest payments of $1.9 million for fiscal year 2012, and $0.6 million for fiscal year 2013 assuming interest rates and debt levels remain the same throughout the remaining term of the facility.

ITEM 7A. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

Market Risk

Cash

We have significant amounts of cash at financial institutions that are in excess of federally insured limits. With the current financial environment and the instability of financial institutions, we cannot be assured that we will not experience losses on our deposits.

Interest Rates

We are exposed to interest rate risk on short-term and long-term financial instruments carrying variable interest rates. 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. Our variable rate financial instruments, including the outstanding credit facilities, totaled $50.0 million at February 28, 2011. We entered into a $40.0 million interest rate swap designated as a cash flow hedge related to this debt. The LIBOR rate on $40.0 million of debt is effectively fixed through this interest rate swap agreement. 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 February 28, 2011 would be approximately $0.1 million.

Foreign Exchange

We have global operations and thus make investments and enter into transactions in various foreign currencies. The value of our consolidated assets and liabilities located outside the United States (translated at period end exchange rates) and income and expenses (translated using average rates prevailing during the period), generally denominated in Pesos and Canadian Dollars, are affected by the translation into our reporting currency (the U.S. Dollar). Such translation adjustments are reported as a separate component of shareholders’ equity. In future periods, foreign exchange rate fluctuations could have an increased impact on our reported results of operations.

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 8. CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND SUPPLEMENTARY DATA

Our Consolidated Financial Statements and Supplementary Data required by this Item 8 are set forth following the signature page of this report and are incorporated herein by reference.

ITEM 9. CHANGES IN AND DISAGREEMENTS WITH ACCOUNTANTS ON ACCOUNTING AND FINANCIAL DISCLOSURE

No matter requires disclosure.

ITEM 9A. 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 February 28, 2011, 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 February 28, 2011 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

Folio 26 /Folio

PAGEBREAK

Table of Contents

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.

MANAGEMENT’S REPORT ON INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING

The financial statements, financial analysis and all other information in this Annual Report on Form 10-K were prepared by management, who is responsible for their integrity and objectivity and for establishing and maintaining adequate internal controls over financial reporting.

The Company’s internal control over financial reporting is designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The Company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that:

| i. | Pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail,
accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of
assets of the Company; |
| --- | --- |
| ii. | Provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as
necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance
with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and
expenditures of the Company are being made only in accordance with
authorizations of management and directors of the Company; and |
| iii. | Provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection
of unauthorized acquisition, use, or dispositions of the Company’s
assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements. |

There are inherent limitations in the effectiveness of any internal control, including the possibility of human error and the circumvention or overriding of controls. Accordingly, even effective internal controls can provide only reasonable assurances with respect to financial statement preparation. Further, because of changes in conditions, the effectiveness of internal controls may vary over time.

Management assessed the design and effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of February 28, 2011. In making this assessment, management used the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (“COSO”) in Internal Control—Integrated Framework . Based on management’s assessment using those criteria, we believe that, as of February 28, 2011, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting is effective.

Grant Thornton LLP, an independent registered public accounting firm, has audited the consolidated financial statements of the Company for the fiscal year ended February 28, 2011 and has attested to the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of February 28, 2011. Their report on the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting is presented on page F-3 of this Report.

Except as set forth below, the information required by Item 10 is incorporated herein by reference to the definitive Proxy Statement for our 2011 Annual Meeting of Shareholders.

In the wake of well-publicized corporate scandals, the Securities and Exchange Commission and the New York Stock Exchange have issued multiple new regulations, requiring the implementation of policies and procedures in the corporate governance area. In complying with new regulations requiring the institution of policies and

Accordingly, formal, written policies and procedures have been adopted in the simplest possible way, consistent with legal requirements, including a Code of Ethics applicable to the Company’s principal executive officer, principal financial officer, and principal accounting officer or controller. The Company’s Corporate Governance Guidelines, its charters for each of its Audit, Compensation, Nominating and Corporate Governance Committees and its Code of Ethics covering all Employees are available on the Company’s website, www.ennis.com, and a copy will be mailed upon request to Ms. Sharlene Reagan at 2441 Presidential Parkway, Midlothian, TX 76065. If we make any substantive amendments to the Code, or grant any waivers to the Code for any of our senior officers or directors, we will disclose such amendment or waiver on our website and in a report on Form 8-K.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

Board of Directors and Shareholders Ennis, Inc.

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Ennis, Inc. (a Texas corporation) and subsidiaries as of February 28, 2011 and 2010, and the related consolidated statements of earnings, changes in shareholders’ equity and comprehensive income, and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended February 28, 2011. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Ennis, Inc. and subsidiaries as of February 28, 2011 and 2010, and the results of their operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended February 28, 2011 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), Ennis, Inc. and subsidiaries’ internal control over financial reporting as of February 28, 2011, based on criteria established in Internal Control—Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO ) and our report dated May 10, 2011 expressed an unqualified opinion on the effectiveness of Ennis, Inc.’s internal control over financial reporting.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

Board of Directors and Shareholders Ennis, Inc.

We have audited Ennis, Inc. (a Texas corporation) and subsidiaries’ internal control over financial reporting as of February 28, 2011, based on criteria established in Internal Control—Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO). Ennis, Inc.’s management is responsible for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting, included in the accompanying Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on Ennis, Inc.’s internal control over financial reporting based on our audit.

We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects. Our audit included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk, and performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

In our opinion, Ennis, Inc. and subsidiaries maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of February 28, 2011, based on criteria established in Internal Control—Integrated Framework issued by COSO.

We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the consolidated balance sheets of Ennis, Inc. and subsidiaries as of February 28, 2011 and 2010 and the related consolidated statements of earnings, changes in shareholders’ equity and comprehensive income, and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended February 28, 2011 and our report dated May 10, 2011 expressed an unqualified opinion on those financial statements.

ENNIS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(1) Significant Accounting Policies and General Matters

xbrl,body

Nature of Operations. Ennis, Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiaries (the Company) are principally engaged in the production of and sale of business forms, other business products and apparel to customers primarily located in the United States.

Basis of Consolidation. The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated. The Company’s fiscal years ended on the following days: February 28, 2011, February 28, 2010 and February 28, 2009 (fiscal years ended 2011, 2010, and 2009, respectively).

Accounts Receivable. Trade receivables are uncollateralized customer obligations due under normal trade terms requiring payment generally within 30 days from the invoice date. 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.

Inventories. With the exception of approximately one third of its print segment inventories, which are valued at the lower of last-in, first-out (LIFO) cost or market, the Company values its inventories at the lower of first in, first out (FIFO) cost or market. At fiscal years ended 2011 and 2010, approximately 4.15% and 6.15% of inventories, respectively, are valued at LIFO with the remainder of inventories valued at FIFO. 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 Company provides reserves for excess and obsolete inventory when necessary based upon analysis of quantities on hand, recent sales volumes and reference to market prices. Reserves for excess and obsolete inventory at fiscal years ended 2011 and 2010 were $2.6 million and $2.0 million, respectively.

Property, Plant and Equipment . Depreciation of property, plant and equipment is calculated using the straight-line method over a period considered adequate to amortize the total cost over the useful lives of the assets, which range from 3 to 11 years for plant, machinery and equipment and 10 to 40 years for buildings and improvements. Leasehold improvements are amortized over the shorter of the lease term or the estimated useful life of the improvements. Repairs and maintenance are expensed as incurred. Renewals and betterments are capitalized and depreciated over the remaining life of the specific property unit. The Company capitalizes all leases that are in substance acquisitions of property. As of February 28, 2010, the Company had land, building and equipment of approximately $0.8 million classified as assets held for sale on the consolidated balance sheet. This balance is comprised of land and building with a net book value of $0.7 million and equipment with a net book value of $0.1 million. During fiscal year 2011, management concluded that the sale of these assets within one year was no longer probable and reclassified them out of assets held for sale and into land and building and plant, machinery and equipment.

Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets. Goodwill is the excess of the purchase price paid over the value of net assets of businesses acquired and is not amortized. Intangible assets with determinable lives are amortized on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives. Intangible assets with indefinite lives are 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 related business unit to its carrying value.

Long-Lived Assets . Long-lived assets are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset to future undiscounted net cash flows expected to be generated by the asset. If such assets are considered to be impaired, the impairment to be recognized is based upon future discounted net cash flows.

ENNIS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(1) Significant Accounting Policies and General Matters-continued

Fair Value of Financial Instruments . The carrying amounts of cash, accounts receivables, accounts payable and long-term debt approximate fair value because of the short maturity and/or variable rates associated with these instruments. Derivative financial instruments are recorded at fair value. Refer to Note 7 for additional discussion of fair value measurements.

Treasury Stock . The Company accounts for repurchases of common stock using the cost method with common stock in treasury classified in the Consolidated Balance Sheets as a reduction of shareholders’ equity.

Deferred Finance Charges . The Company accounts for deferred finance charges in connection with its revolving credit facility. The costs associated with the debt are amortized to interest expense over the term of the facility using the straight-line method, which approximates the effective interest method. If the facility is extinguished before the end of the term, the remaining balance of the deferred finance charges will be amortized fully in such year.

Revenue Recognition . Revenue is generally recognized upon shipment of products. Net sales represent gross sales invoiced to customers, less certain related charges, including sales tax, discounts, returns and other allowances. Returns, discounts and other allowances have historically been insignificant. In some cases and upon customer request, the Company prints and stores custom print product for customer specified future delivery, generally within twelve months. In this case, risk of loss passes to the customer, the customer is invoiced under normal credit terms, and revenue is recognized when manufacturing is complete. Approximately $10.4 million, $12.4 million and $18.3 million of revenue was recognized under these arrangements during fiscal years 2011, 2010, and 2009 respectively.

Advertising Expenses . The Company expenses advertising costs as incurred. Catalog and brochure preparation and printing costs, which are considered direct response advertising, are amortized to expense over the life of the catalog, which typically ranges from three to twelve months. Advertising expense was approximately $1.3 million, $1.6 million, and $1.7 million, during the fiscal years ended 2011, 2010 and 2009, respectively and is included in selling, general and administrative expenses in the Consolidated Statements of Earnings. Included in advertising expense is amortization related to direct response advertising of approximately $453,000, $817,000, and $693,000 for the fiscal years ended 2011, 2010 and 2009, respectively. Unamortized direct advertising costs included in prepaid expenses at fiscal years ended 2011, 2010 and 2009 were approximately $99,000, $104,000, and $409,000, respectively.

Income Taxes. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the estimated future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases and operating loss and tax credit carry forwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date.

Earnings (Loss) Per Share . Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing net earnings by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share is computed by dividing net earnings by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding plus the number of additional shares that would have been outstanding if potentially dilutive securities had been issued, calculated using the treasury stock method. For fiscal years 2011, 2010, and 2009, 93,700, 98,950, and 90,200 of options, respectively, were not included in the diluted earnings (loss) per share computation because their effect was anti-dilutive.

Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (Loss) . Other comprehensive income (loss) is defined as the change in equity resulting from transactions from non-owner sources. Other comprehensive income (loss) consisted of the following: adjustments resulting from the foreign currency translation of the Company’s Mexican and Canadian operations, changes in the fair value of interest rate swap and changes in the funded status of the Company’s pension plan.

Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities. The Company uses derivative financial instruments to manage its exposures to interest rate fluctuations on its floating debt agreements when the Company deems it prudent to do so. The Company recognizes all derivatives as either assets or liabilities in the balance sheet, measure those instruments

at fair value and recognize changes in the fair value of derivatives in earnings in the period of change, unless the derivative qualifies as an effective hedge that offsets certain exposures.

Foreign Currency Translation. The functional currency for the Company’s foreign subsidiaries is the applicable local currency. Assets and liabilities of the foreign subsidiaries are translated to U.S. dollars at year-end exchange rates. Income and expense items are translated at the rates of exchange prevailing during the year. The adjustments resulting from translating the financial statements of the foreign subsidiary are reflected in shareholders’ equity as accumulated other comprehensive income or loss.

Transaction gains and losses that arise from exchange rate fluctuations on transactions denominated in a currency other than the functional currency are included in the results of operations in other income (expense), net as incurred. Transaction gains and losses totaled approximately $169,000, $290,000, and ($384,000) for fiscal years ended 2011, 2010 and 2009, respectively.

Estimates. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from these estimates.

Shipping and Handling Costs. The Company records amounts billed to customers for shipping and handling costs in net sales and related costs are included in cost of goods sold.

Stock Based Compensation. The Company recognizes stock-based compensation expense net of estimated forfeitures (estimated at 3%) over the requisite service period of the individual grants, which generally equals the vesting period. The fair value of all share based awards is estimated on the date of grant. For a further discussion of the impact of stock based compensation on the consolidated financial statements, see Note 10, “Stock Option Plan and Stock Based Compensation.”

Concentrations of Risk

Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to a concentration of credit risk principally consist of cash and trade receivables. Cash is placed with high-credit quality financial institutions which, at times, may exceed federally insured limits. The Company’s credit risk with respect to trade receivables is limited in management’s opinion due to industry and geographic diversification. As disclosed on the Consolidated Balance Sheets, the Company maintains an allowance for doubtful receivables to cover estimated credit losses associated with accounts receivable.

The Company, for quality and pricing reasons, purchases its paper, cotton and yarn products from a limited number of suppliers. To maintain its high standard of color control associated with its apparel products, the Company purchases its dyeing chemicals from limited sources. While other sources may be available to the Company to purchase these products, they may not be available at the cost or at the quality the Company has come to expect.

(2) Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Doubtful Receivables

xbrl,body

Accounts receivable are reduced by an estimated allowance for amounts that are uncollectible. Approximately 96% 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.

(2) Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Doubtful Receivables-continued

The Company writes-off accounts receivable when they become uncollectible, and payments subsequently received on such receivables are credited to the allowance in the period the payment is received. Credit losses from continuing operations have consistently been within management’s expectations.

The following table represents the activity in the Company’s allowance for doubtful receivables for the fiscal years ended (in thousands):

The excess of current costs at FIFO over LIFO stated values was approximately $5.6 million and $5.3 million at fiscal years ended 2011 and 2010, respectively. There were no significant liquidations of LIFO inventories during the fiscal years ended 2011, 2010 and 2009. Cost includes materials, labor and overhead related to the purchase and production of inventories.

xbrl,n

(4) Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets

xbrl,body

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.

The cost of intangible assets is based on fair values at the date of acquisition. Intangible assets with determinable lives are amortized on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful life (between 1 and 10 years). In fiscal 2009, trademarks with indefinite lives, with a net book value of $63.2 million (fair value at time of acquisition) were evaluated for impairment and determined to have been impaired. A $4.7 million impairment charge was recorded to reduce the carrying value of the trademarks to their fair value of $58.5 million at fiscal year end 2009. No such impairment charges were necessary in fiscal 2010 or 2011.

The Company assesses the recoverability of its definite-lived intangible assts primarily based on its current and anticipated future undiscounted cash flows.

(6) Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities

xbrl,body

The Company uses derivative financial instruments to manage its exposure to interest rate fluctuations on its floating rate $150.0 million revolving credit facility maturing August 18, 2012. On July 7, 2008, the company entered into a three-year Interest Rate Swap Agreement (“Swap”) for a notional amount of $40.0 million. The Swap fixes the LIBOR rate at 3.79%.

The Swap was designated as a cash flow hedge, and the fair value at February 28, 2011 was $(0.6) million or $(0.4) million net of deferred taxes and at February 28, 2010 was $(1.8) million or $(1.2) million net of deferred taxes. The Swap has been reported on the Consolidated Balance Sheet as current installments of long-term debt with a related deferred charge recorded as a component of other comprehensive income (loss). During fiscal year 2011, the Company incurred an additional $1.4 million in interest expense related to the Swap.

xbrl,n

(7) Fair Value Financial Instruments

xbrl,body

The carrying amounts of cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable and long-term debt approximate fair value because of the short maturity and/or variable rates associated with these instruments. Derivative financial instruments are recorded at fair value.

Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants. The hierarchy below lists three levels of fair value based on the extent to which inputs used in measuring fair value are observable in the market. The Company categorizes each of its fair value measurements in one of these three levels based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety. These levels are:

| Level 1 — | Inputs utilize quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical
assets or liabilities that the Company has the ability to access. |
| --- | --- |
| Level 2 — | Inputs utilize data points that are observable such as quoted prices,
interest rates and yield curves. |
| Level 3 — | Inputs are unobservable data points for the asset or liability, and
include situations where there is little, if any, market activity for the asset or
liability. |

Derivatives are reported at fair value utilizing Level 2 inputs. The Company utilizes valuation models with observable market data inputs to estimate the fair value of its Swap.

Revolving credit facility	$ 50,000	$ 40,000
Interest rate swap	586	1,817
Long-term debt	$ 50,586	$ 41,817

On August 18, 2009, the Company entered into a Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (the “Facility”) with a group of lenders led by Bank of America, N.A. (the “Lenders”). The Facility provides the Company access to $150.0 million in revolving credit, which the Company may increase to $200.0 million in certain circumstances, and matures on August 18, 2012. The Facility bears interest at the London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) plus a spread ranging from 2.0% to 3.5% (LIBOR + 2.25% or 2.51% at February 28, 2011 and 2.48% at February 28, 2010), depending on the Company’s total funded debt to EBITDA ratio, as defined. As of February 28, 2011, the Company had $50.0 million of borrowings under the revolving credit line and $3.2 million outstanding under standby letters of credit arrangements, leaving the Company availability of approximately $96.8 million.

(11) Employee Benefit Plans

xbrl,body

The Company and certain subsidiaries have a noncontributory defined benefit retirement plan covering approximately 11% of their employees. Benefits are based on years of service and the employee’s average compensation for the highest five compensation years preceding retirement or termination. The Company’s funding policy is to contribute annually an amount in accordance with the requirements of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (“ERISA”).

The Company’s pension plan asset allocation, by asset category, is as follows for the fiscal years ended:

Equity securities	52 %	54 %
Debt securities	41 %	42 %
Cash and cash equivalents	7 %	4 %
Total	100 %	100 %

The current asset allocation is being managed to meet the Company’s stated objective of asset growth and capital preservation. The factor is based upon the combined judgments of the Company’s Administrative Committee and its investment advisors to meet the Company’s investment needs, objectives, and risk tolerance. The Company’s target asset allocation percentage, by asset class, for the year ended February 28, 2011 is as follows:

	Target Allocation
Asset Class	Percentage
Money Market	0 - 3 %
Bonds	43 - 47 %
Stocks	45 - 50 %

The Company estimates the long-term rate of return on plan assets will be 8.0% based upon target asset allocation. Expected returns are developed based upon the information obtained from the Company’s investment advisors. The advisors provide ten-year historical and five-year expected returns on the fund in the target asset allocation. The return information is weighted based upon the asset allocation at the end of the fiscal year. The expected rate of return at the beginning of the fiscal year ended 2011 was 8.0%, the rate used in the calculation of the current year pension expense.

Effective February 1, 1994, the Company adopted a Defined Contribution 401(k) Plan (the 401(k) Plan) for its United States employees. The 401(k) Plan covers substantially all full-time employees who have completed sixty days of service and attained the age of eighteen. United States employees can contribute up to 100 percent of their annual compensation, but are limited to the maximum annual dollar amount allowable under the Internal Revenue Code. The 401(k) Plan provides for employer matching contributions or discretionary employer contributions for certain employees not enrolled in the pension plan for employees of the Company. Eligibility for employer contributions, matching percentage, and limitations depends on the participant’s employment location and whether the employees are covered by the Company’s pension plan, etc. The Company’s matching contributions are immediately vested. The Company made matching 401(k) contributions in the amount of $376,000, $313,000 and $372,000 in fiscal years ended 2011, 2010 and 2009, respectively.

In addition, the Northstar Computer Forms, Inc. 401(k) Profit Sharing Plan was merged into the 401(k) Plan on February 1, 2001. The Company declared profit sharing contributions on behalf of the former employees of Northstar Computer Forms, Inc. in accordance with its original plan in the amounts of $289,000, $306,000, and $345,000, in fiscal years ended 2011, 2010 and 2009, respectively.

Deferred taxes are recorded to give recognition to temporary differences between the tax basis of assets and liabilities and their reported amounts in the financial statements. The tax effects of these temporary differences are recorded as deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities. Deferred tax assets generally represent items that can be used as a tax deduction or credit in future years. Deferred tax liabilities generally represent items that have been deducted for tax purposes, but have not yet been recorded in the consolidated statements of earnings. To the extent there are deferred tax assets that are more likely than not to be realized, a valuation allowance would not be recorded. The components of deferred income tax assets and liabilities are summarized as follows (in thousands) for fiscal years ended:

12) Income Taxes-continued

Accounting standards require a two-step approach to determine how to recognize tax benefits in the financial statements where recognition and measurement of a tax benefit must be evaluated separately. A tax benefit will be recognized only if it meets a “more-likely-than-not” recognition threshold. For tax positions that meet this threshold, the tax benefit recognized is based on the largest amount of tax benefit that is greater than 50 percent likely of being realized upon ultimate settlement with the taxing authority.

Unrecognized tax benefits, including accrued interest and penalties, at fiscal year end 2011 and 2010 of $163,000 and $169,000, respectively, related to uncertain tax positions are included in other liabilities on the consolidated balance sheets and would impact the effective rate if recognized. For fiscal year 2011, the unrecognized tax benefit includes an aggregate of $19,000 of interest expense. Approximately $54,000 of unrecognized tax benefits relate to items that are affected by expiring statutes of limitations within the next 12 months. A reconciliation of the change in the unrecognized tax benefits for fiscal years ended 2011 and 2010 is as follows (in thousands):

Balance at beginning of year	2011 — $ 147	$	243
Additions (reductions) based on tax positions
related to the current year	43		(15	)
Reductions due to lapses of statutes of limitations	(49	)	(81	)
Balance at end of year	$ 141	$	147

The Company is subject to U.S. federal income tax as well as to income tax of multiple state jurisdictions and foreign tax jurisdictions. The Company has concluded all U.S. federal income tax matters for years through 2007. All material state and local income tax matters have been concluded for years through 2005 and foreign tax jurisdictions through 2008.

The Company recognizes interest expense on underpayments of income taxes and accrued penalties related to unrecognized non-current tax benefits as part of the income tax provision. Other than amounts included in the unrecognized tax benefits, the Company did not recognize any interest or penalties for the fiscal years ended 2011, 2010 and 2009.

(13) Earnings (loss) per Share

xbrl,body

Basic earnings (loss) 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 stock options or other contracts to issue common shares were exercised or converted into common stock. The following table sets forth the computation for basic and diluted earnings per share for the fiscal years ended:

| Basic weighted average common
shares outstanding | 2011 — 25,855,129 | 2010 — 25,768,632 | 2009 — 25,724,150 | |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| Effect of dilutive options | 32,866 | 27,921 | 66,016 | |
| Diluted weighted average common
shares outstanding | 25,887,995 | 25,796,553 | 25,790,166 | |
| Per share amounts: | | | | |
| Net earnings — basic | $ 1.73 | $ 1.37 | $ (1.27 | ) |
| Net earnings — diluted | $ 1.72 | $ 1.36 | $ (1.27 | ) |
| Cash dividends | $ 0.62 | $ 0.62 | $ 0.62 | |

The Company treats unvested share-based payment awards that contain non-forfeitable rights to dividends or dividend equivalents (whether paid or unpaid) as participating securities, which are included in the computation of earnings per share pursuant to the two-class method. The Company’s participating securities are comprised of unvested restricted stock.

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 SM (which provides tags and labels, promotional products and advertising concept products); Atlas Tag & Label SM (which provides tags and labels); Trade Envelopes ® and Block Graphics ® (which provide custom and imprinted envelopes) and Northstar ® and General Financial Supply ® (which provide financial and security documents).

Adams-McClure sales are generally provided through advertising agencies.

The Apparel Segment, which accounted for 50% of the Company’s fiscal year 2011 consolidated net sales, consists of Alstyle Apparel. This group is primarily engaged in the production and sale of activewear including t-shirts, fleece goods, and other wearables. Alstyle sales are seasonal, with sales in the first and second quarters generally being the highest. Substantially all of the Apparel Segment sales are to customers in the United States.

Current Quarter Compared to Same Quarter Last Year

In each of the first three quarters for fiscal year ended February 28, 2011, the Company’s gross profit margin (“margin”) increased over the comparable quarters for fiscal year ended February 28, 2010. The primary reason for the increase related to the increase in its Apparel margins throughout the period. In the final quarter of fiscal year February 28, 2011, the margin, as a percentage of sales, decreased slightly over the comparable quarter last fiscal year due to higher cotton costs and the start-up of the Agua Prieta facility in its Apparel segment.

(18) Concentrations of Risk

xbrl,body

Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to a concentration of credit risk principally consist of cash and trade receivables. Cash is placed with high-credit quality financial institutions. The Company’s credit risk with respect to trade receivables is limited in management’s opinion due to industry and geographic diversification. As disclosed on the Consolidated Balance Sheets, the Company maintains an allowance for doubtful receivables to cover estimated credit losses associated with accounts receivable.

ENNIS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(18) Concentrations of Risk-continued

The Company, for quality and pricing reasons, purchases its paper, cotton and yarn products from a limited number of suppliers. To maintain its high standard of color control associated with its apparel products, the Company purchases its dyeing chemicals from limited sources. While other sources may be available to the Company to purchase these products, they may not be available at the cost or at the quality the Company has come to expect.

For the purposes of the consolidated statements of cash flows, the Company considers cash to include cash on hand and in bank accounts. All funds in a “Non interest-bearing transaction account” are insured in full by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation from December 31, 2010 through December 31, 2012. This temporary unlimited coverage is in addition to, and separate from, the coverage of at least $250,000 available to depositors under the FDIC’s general deposit insurance rules. Currently all of our cash balances meet these criteria. At February 28, 2011, the Company had $659,000 in Canadian and $531,000 in Mexican bank accounts.

(19) Subsequent Events

xbrl,body
