Mr. Davis continued, "Our investments in advanced technology cover all
areas of the business: from prepress, where we are installing the latest
computer-to-plate technology; to the pressroom, where we have added 24 new
state-of-the-art presses; to the bindery, where new cutting and folding systems
dramatically improve efficiency. Our ability to invest in printing technology is
an important strength and should substantially increase our production quality
and capacity while reducing costs.
"We have also expanded our management team to accommodate our growth. At
our recent Presidents' Meeting, we announced that Trent Cunningham and John
Gowland have been promoted to Executive Vice President-Operations and given
additional responsibilities. In addition, we continue to expand our highly
successful Management Development Program to our companies. Today, we have 135
people participating in the program."
Mr. Davis concluded, "In the coming year, we plan to continue growing our
companies while pursuing our acquisition strategy. Just this week, we announced
the acquisition of three new companies, and we are in various stages of
negotiations with a very strong group of acquisition candidates. Printing
company owners are evaluating potential acquirers based upon their track record
of performance, cash flow and financial strength. Each of these criteria
represents an important advantage for Consolidated Graphics, and we will
capitalize on these advantages as we continue our strong performance in the
future."

United States. A consolidator in a highly fragmented industry, the Company adds
value to its acquisitions through managerial and operational expertise,
