very valuable as we continue to advance the electronic and Internet-related
services offered at our 63 other companies."

     Calvin Cox, President of Maryland Comp.Com said, "We are very pleased to be
joining Consolidated Graphics as our businesses are very complementary. Not only
do we provide digital media services to a high-quality customer base, but our

fit for both companies."
