NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(UNAUDITED)
(DEBTOR IN POSSESSION AS OF JUNE 27, 2011)
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(UNAUDITED)
1. | Basis of Presentation The condensed consolidated balance sheet of NBC Acquisition Corp.
(the Company) and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Nebraska Book Company, Inc. (NBC), at March
31, 2011 was derived from the Companys audited consolidated balance sheet as of that date.
All other condensed consolidated financial statements contained herein are unaudited and
reflect all adjustments which are, in the opinion of management, necessary to present fairly
the financial position of the Company and the results of its operations and cash flows for the
periods presented. All intercompany balances and transactions are eliminated in
consolidation. Because of the seasonal nature of the Companys operations, results of
operations of any single reporting period should not be considered as indicative of results
for a full fiscal year. |
These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with
the Companys audited consolidated financial statements for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2011
included in the Companys Annual Report on Form 10-K. A description of our significant
accounting policies is included in our 2011 Annual Report on Form 10-K. References in this
Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q to the terms we, our, ours, and us refer collectively to
the Company and its subsidiaries, including NBC, except where otherwise indicated and except
where the context requires otherwise. We do not conduct significant activities apart from our
investment in NBC. Operational matters discussed in this report, including the acquisition of
college bookstores and other related businesses, refer to operations of NBC. |
On June 27, 2011 (the Petition Date), we and NBC and all of its subsidiaries filed voluntary
petitions for reorganization relief under chapter 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code (the
Bankruptcy Code) in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware (the
Court). The reorganization cases are being jointly administered as Case No. 11-12005 under
the caption in re Nebraska Book Company, Inc., et al. (hereinafter referred to as the Chapter
11 Proceedings). |
Our financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally
accepted in the United States (GAAP), consistently applied and on a going concern basis, which
contemplates the continuity of operations, realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities
in the normal course of business. As a result of the Chapter 11 Proceedings, such realization
of assets and satisfaction of liabilities, without substantial adjustments to amounts and or
changes of ownership, is highly uncertain. Given this uncertainty, there is substantial doubt
about our ability to continue as a going concern. Our financial statements do not include any
adjustments related to assets or liabilities that may be necessary should we not be able to
continue as a going concern. |
Financial reporting applicable to companies in bankruptcy generally does not change the
manner in which financial statements are prepared. However, it does require, among other
disclosures, that the financial statements for periods subsequent to the filing of the chapter
11 petition distinguish transactions and events that are directly associated with the
reorganization from the ongoing operations of the business. Accordingly, revenues, expenses,
realized gains and losses and provisions for losses that can be directly associated with the
reorganization of the business have been reported separately as Reorganization items in our
condensed consolidated statement of operations. We have reflected the necessary changes in this
Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 2011. |
Substantially all of our pre-petition debt is in default, including $200.0 million principal
amount 10% senior secured notes (the Pre-Petition Senior Secured Notes), $175.0 million
principal amount 8.625% senior subordinated notes (the Pre-Petition Senior Subordinated Notes)
and $77.0 million principal amount 11% senior discount notes (the Pre-Petition Senior Discount
Notes). The Pre-Petition Senior Subordinated Notes and Pre-Petition Senior Discount Notes are
classified as liabilities subject to compromise in our condensed consolidated financial
statements for the quarter ended June 30, 2011. The Pre-Petition Senior Secured Notes are
secured by all of our and our subsidiaries property and assets on a second priority basis and
so have not been classified as liabilities subject to compromise. |

Table of Contents
2. | Voluntary
Reorganization Under Chapter 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code We continue
to operate our businesses as debtors in possession under the jurisdiction of the Court and
in accordance with the applicable provisions of the Bankruptcy Code and orders of the Court. |
|
Implications of Chapter 11 Proceedings |
The Chapter 11 Proceedings were initiated in response to our inability to fully refinance
our existing debt and vendors unwillingness to extend credit to us under normal terms due to
refinancing uncertainties. Under section 362 of the Bankruptcy Code, the filing of a bankruptcy
petition automatically stays most actions against a debtor, including most actions to collect
pre-petition indebtedness or to exercise control over our property. Absent an order of the
Court, substantially all pre-petition liabilities are subject to settlement under a plan of
reorganization. While operating as debtors-in-possession under the Bankruptcy Code and subject
to approval of the Court or otherwise as permitted in the ordinary course of business, we may
sell or dispose of assets and liquidate or settle liabilities for amounts other than those
reflected in the condensed consolidated financial statements. Further, a confirmed plan of
reorganization or other arrangement could materially change the amounts and classifications in
the historical condensed consolidated financial statements. |
Subsequent to the Petition Date, we received approval from the Court to pay or otherwise
honor certain pre-petition obligations generally designed to stabilize our operations including
employee obligations, tax matters, and from limited available funds, pre-petition claims of
certain critical vendors, certain customer programs, and certain other pre-petition claims.
Additionally, we have been paying and intend to continue to pay undisputed post-petition claims
in the ordinary course of business. |
||
Plan of Reorganization |
On July 17, 2011, we filed with the Court a disclosure statement, which contained a proposed
plan of reorganization (the Plan). The Plan calls for the issuance of (i) new senior secured
notes, (ii) new senior unsecured notes, (iii) new common equity interests in us in an amount
equal to 78% of the Company to the holders of the Pre-Petition Senior Subordinated Notes, and
(iv) new common equity interests in us in an amount equal to 22% of the Company to the holders
of the Pre-Petition Senior Discount Notes. The Plan does not provide for any recovery to holders
of our existing equity securities. The ultimate recovery to creditors and/or our shareholders,
if any, will not be determined until confirmation of a plan of reorganization. A hearing to
consider the Plan is currently scheduled for October 4, 2011. |

Chapter 11 Financing |
We are currently funding post-petition operations under a $200.0 million Superpriority
Debtor-In-Possession Credit Agreement (the DIP Credit Agreement), consisting of a $125.0
million debtor-in-possession term loan facility (the DIP Term Loan Facility) issued at a
discount of $1.2 million and a $75.0 million debtor-in-possession revolving facility (the DIP
Revolving Facility). For additional details related to the DIP Credit Agreement see Note 6. |

Financial Statement Classification |
Financial reporting applicable to companies in bankruptcy generally does not change the manner
in which financial statements are prepared. However, it does require, among other disclosures,
that the financial statements for periods subsequent to the filing of the chapter 11 petition
distinguish transactions and events that are directly associated with the reorganization from
the ongoing operations of the business. Accordingly, revenues, expenses, realized gains and
losses and provisions for losses that can be directly associated with the reorganization of the
business have been reported separately as Reorganization items in our condensed consolidated
statement of operations. Reorganization items included in the condensed consolidated financial
statements are as follows: |
Quarter Ended | ||||
June 30, 2011 | ||||
Reorganization Items: |
||||
Professional fees |
$ | 6,517,941 | ||
Professional fees included in Reorganization items for the quarter ended June 30, 2011 primarily
relate to costs incurred for the DIP Term Loan Facility and DIP Revolving Facility. |

Table of Contents
Pre-petition liabilities subject to compromise under a plan of reorganization have been reported
separately from both pre-petition liabilities that are not subject to compromise and from
liabilities arising subsequent to the petition date. Liabilities expected to be affected by a
plan of reorganization are reported at amounts expected to be allowed, even if they may be
settled for lesser amounts. Liabilities subject to compromise as of June 30, 2011 are set forth
below and represent our estimate of pre-petition claims to be resolved in connection with the
Chapter 11 Proceedings. Such claims remain subject to future adjustments, which may result from
(i) negotiations; (ii) actions of the Court; (iii) disputed claims; (iv) rejection of executor
contracts and unexpired leases; (v) the determination as to the value of any collateral securing
claims; (vi) proofs of claim; or (vii) other events. |
Liabilities subject to compromise include the following: |
June 30, 2011 | ||||
Accounts payable |
$ | 20,427,788 | ||
Accrued interest |
6,624,800 | |||
Accrued expense |

252,000,000 | |||
Other long-term liabilities |
1,304,894 | |||
$ | 286,748,132 | |||
Substantially all of our pre-petition debt is in default, including the Pre-Petition Senior
Secured Notes, Pre-Petition Senior Subordinated Notes (included in liabilities subject to
compromise) and Pre-Petition Senior Discount Notes (included in liabilities subject to
compromise). Effective June 27, 2011, we ceased recording interest expense on outstanding
pre-petition debt instruments classified as liabilities subject to compromise as such amounts of
contractual interest are not being paid during the Chapter 11 Proceedings and are determined not
to be probable of being an allowed claim. Interest expense on a contractual basis would have
been $0.3 million higher, or $13.1 million, for the quarter ended June 30, 2011 if we had
continued to accrue interest on these instruments. |

Going Concern |
Our audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended March 31, 2011 and our
unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that we will
continue as a going concern. However, our ability to: (i) comply with terms of the DIP Credit
Agreement; (ii) comply with various orders entered by the Court in connection with the Chapter
11 Proceedings; (iii) maintain adequate cash on hand; (iv) generate sufficient cash from
operations; (v) achieve confirmation of a plan of reorganization under the Bankruptcy Code; (vi)
obtain financing to facilitate an exit from bankruptcy; and (vii) achieve profitability
following such confirmation is uncertain and could have a material impact on our financial
statements. |

3. | Loss Per Share Basic earnings per share data is computed by dividing earnings after the
deduction of preferred stock dividends by the weighted-average number of common shares
outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share data is calculated by dividing
earnings after the deduction of preferred stock dividends by the weighted-average number of
common shares outstanding and potential common shares including stock options, if any, with a
dilutive effect. The information used to compute basic and dilutive loss per share is as
follows: |

Weighted average common shares outstanding-diluted includes the incremental shares that would be
issued upon the assumed exercise of stock options, if the effect is dilutive. Options to
purchase 89,241 and 89,391 shares of common stock were outstanding at June 30, 2011 and 2010,
respectively, but were not included in the computation of diluted weighted-average common shares
because their effect would have been anti-dilutive. |
On July 17, 2011, we filed with the Court a proposed plan of reorganization. The Plan calls for
the issuance of (i) new senior secured notes, (ii) new senior unsecured notes, (iii) new common
equity interests in us in an amount equal to 78% of the company to the holders of the
Pre-Petition Senior Subordinated Notes, and (iv) new common equity interests in us in an amount
equal to 22% of the Company to the holders of the Pre-Petition Senior Discount Notes. The Plan
does not provide for any recovery to holders of our existing equity securities. The ultimate
recovery to creditors and/or our shareholders, if any, will not be determined until confirmation
of a plan of reorganization. |

5. | Goodwill and Other
Identifiable Intangibles During the quarter ended June 30, 2011, eight
bookstore locations were acquired in three separate transactions. The total purchase price,
net of cash acquired, of such acquisitions was $0.4 million, of which $0.2 million was
assigned to contract-managed relationships with a weighted-average amortization period of
approximately three years. Costs incurred to renew contract-managed relationships during the
quarter ended June 30, 2011 were $0.3 million with a weighted-average amortization period of
approximately two years before the next renewal of such contracts. As of June 30, 2011, $0.4
million of prior period acquisition costs remained to be paid and are included in liabilities
subject to compromise. During the quarter ended June 30, 2011, we paid $0.2 million of
previously accrued consideration for bookstore acquisitions and contract-managed relationships
occurring in prior periods. |

Goodwill assigned to corporate administration represents the goodwill that arose when Weston
Presidio gained a controlling interest in us on March 4, 2004 (the March 4, 2004 Transaction),
as all goodwill was assigned to corporate administration. As is the case with a portion of our
assets, such goodwill is not allocated between our reportable segments when management makes
operating decisions and assesses performance. We have identified the Textbook Division,
Bookstore Division and Complementary Services Division as our reporting units. Such goodwill is
allocated to our Bookstore Division and Textbook Division reporting units for purposes of
testing goodwill for impairment and calculating any gain or loss on the disposal of all or,
where applicable, a portion of a reporting unit. |

corporate administration, are as follows: |

We test for impairment annually at March 31 or more frequently if impairment indicators exist.
Goodwill impairment testing is a two-step process. The first step involves comparing the fair
value of our reporting units to their carrying amount. If the fair value of the reporting unit
is greater than the carrying amount, there is no impairment. If the reporting units carrying
amount is greater than the fair value, the second step must be completed to measure the amount
of impairment, if any. The second step involves calculating the implied fair value of goodwill
by allocating the fair value of the reporting unit to all of its assets and liabilities other
than goodwill and debt (including both recognized and unrecognized intangible assets) and
comparing the residual amount to the carrying value of goodwill. If the implied fair value of
goodwill is less than the carrying value of goodwill, an impairment loss is recognized equal to
the difference. |
We determined in the first step of the goodwill impairment test conducted at March 31, 2011,
that the carrying value of the Bookstore and Textbook Divisions exceeded their estimated fair
values, indicating that goodwill may be impaired. Having determined that goodwill may be
impaired, we performed the second step of the goodwill impairment test. As a result, we
recorded an impairment charge of $89.0 million for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2011. The
carrying value of goodwill in excess of the implied fair value was approximately $62.0 million
and $27.0 million for the Bookstore and Textbook Divisions, respectively. The impairment charge
reduced our goodwill carrying value to $129.4 million as of March 31, 2011. |

Table of Contents
Fair value at March 31, 2011 was determined using a combination of the market approach, based
primarily on a multiple of revenue and earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and
amortization (EBITDA), and the income approach, based on a discounted cash flow model. The
market approach requires that we estimate a certain valuation multiple of revenue and EBITDA for
each reporting unit derived from comparable companies to estimate the fair value of the
reporting unit. The discounted cash flow model discounts projected cash flows for each
reporting unit to present value and includes critical assumptions such as long-term growth
rates, projected revenues and earnings and cash flow forecasts for the reporting units, as well
as an appropriate discount rate. The evaluation of potential impairment at March 31, 2011
included consideration of impending refinancing or reorganization requirements. |

Identifiable intangibles not subject to amortization consist solely of the tradename asset
arising out of the March 4, 2004 Transaction which is recorded at $31,320,000. The tradename
was determined to have an indefinite life based on our current intentions. The impairment for
intangible assets not subject to amortization involves a comparison of the estimated fair value
of the intangible asset with its carrying value. If the carrying value of the intangible asset
exceeds its fair value, an impairment loss is recognized in an amount equal to the excess. The
impairment evaluation for tradename is conducted at March 31 each year or, more frequently, if
events or changes in circumstances indicate that an asset might be impaired. We completed our
test at March 31, 2011 and determined there was no impairment. The evaluation of potential
impairment at March 31, 2011 included consideration of impending refinancing or reorganization
requirements. |
6. | Long-Term Debt |
Pre-Petition Debt |
As discussed in Note 2 Voluntary Reorganization under Chapter 11 of the United States
Bankruptcy Code due to the Chapter 11 Proceedings, substantially all of our pre-petition debt
is in default and has been reclassified to Liabilities subject to compromise on the condensed
consolidated balance sheet at June 30, 2011, including the $175.0 million Pre-Petition Senior
Subordinated Notes, $77.0 million Senior Discount Notes and $2.1 million of other indebtedness.
As of the Petition Date, we ceased accruing interest on all debt that is subject to compromise. |
||
Current Capital Structure |
As of June 30, 2011, we had $123.8 million of debtor-in-possession financing classified as
short-term debt, current maturities of long-term debt included the $200.0 million Pre-Petition
Senior Secured Notes with unamortized discount of $0.2 million, other long-term debt totaled
$0.2 million and unsecured pre-petition debt included in liabilities subject to compromise
totaled $254.1 million. |
Subsequent to the Petition Date, we, NBC and our parent NBC Holdings, Inc. (NBC Holdings)
entered into the DIP Credit Agreement which, among other things, provides up to $200.0 million
of financing to us as debtors-in-possession under the Bankruptcy Code under the terms of the
$125.0 million DIP Term Loan Facility, issued at a $1.2 million discount, and the $75.0 million
DIP Revolving Facility (less outstanding letters of credit and subject to a borrowing base).
The DIP Credit Agreement is guaranteed by us, NBC Holdings and each of the subsidiaries of NBC.
Borrowings under the DIP Credit Agreement are to be used to finance working capital purposes,
the payment of fees and expenses incurred in connection with entering into the DIP Credit
Agreement, the Chapter 11 Proceedings and the transactions contemplated, and the repayment of
loans outstanding under our prior asset-based lending credit agreement entered into prior to the
Petition Date (the Pre-Petition ABL Credit Agreement). Although the funds under the DIP
Revolving Facility were not available until funded on July 21, 2011, the June 30, 2011
calculated borrowing base determined under the DIP Credit Agreement would have been $53.1
million, of which $3.7 million was outstanding under letters of credit. As of August 17, 2011,
we have not borrowed funds under the DIP Revolving Facility. |
12
Table of Contents
Borrowings under the DIP Credit Agreement are secured by a perfected first priority security
interest on substantially all of our property and assets. |
The DIP Credit Agreement matures and expires on the earliest to occur of (a) one year from
the initial closing date, (b) five business days after the Petition Date (or such later date as
the administrative agent may agree in its sole discretion) if entry of the interim order has not
occurred by such date, (c) thirty-five days (or such later date as the administrative agent may
agree in its sole discretion) after the Petition Date if entry of the final order has not
occurred by such date, (d) the effective date of the plan of reorganization and (e) the
acceleration of the loans under the DIP Credit Agreement and, in connection, the termination of
the unused term loan or revolving credit facility commitments in accordance with the terms. |
Each loan bears interest at the Eurodollar rate or the base rate plus an applicable margin.
The base interest rate is the greater of a) prime rate, b) federal funds rate plus 0.5%, or c)
the one-month Eurodollar loan rate plus 1.0%. The applicable margin with respect to term loans
was 6.0% in the case of base rate loans and 7.0% in the case of Eurodollar Loans. Effective,
July 15, 2011, the DIP Credit Agreement was amended to change the applicable margin with respect
to term loans to 5.0% in the case of base rate loans and 6.0% in the case of Eurodollar loans.
The applicable margin with respect to revolving credit loans is 2.5% in the case of base rate
loans and 3.5% in the case of Eurodollar loans. In the case of the term loans only, the base
rate shall not be less than 2.25% and the Eurodollar rate shall not be less than 1.25%. Upon
the occurrence and during the continuation of an event of default, (i) all outstanding loans and
reimbursement obligations (whether or not overdue) bear interest at the applicable rate plus
2.0%, (ii) the letter of credit commission payable pursuant to the DIP Credit Agreement will be
increased by 2.0% and (iii) if all or a portion of any interest payable or any commitment fee or
other amount payable is not paid when due, it will bear interest at the rate applicable to base
rate loans plus 2.0%. We will also pay a fee of 0.5% on the amount committed to the revolving
facility. |
The DIP Credit Agreement contains, among other things, conditions precedent, covenants,
representations and warranties and events of default customary for facilities of this type. Such
covenants include the requirement to provide certain financial reports and other information,
use the proceeds of certain sales or other dispositions of collateral to prepay outstanding
loans, maintenance of certain financial covenants (including a minimum liquidity and cumulative
consolidated EBITDA test), certain restrictions on the incurrence of indebtedness, guarantees,
liens, acquisitions and other investments, mergers, consolidations, liquidations and
dissolutions, dividends and other repayments in respect of capital stock, capital expenditures,
transactions with affiliates, hedging and other derivatives arrangements, negative pledge
clauses, payment of expenses and disbursements other than those reflected in an agreed upon
budget, and subsidiary distributions, subject to certain exceptions. |
Interest on the Pre-Petition Senior Secured Notes and DIP Term Loan Facility will be paid
monthly during the Chapter 11 Proceedings. |
At June 30, 2011, we were in compliance with all of our debt covenants under the DIP Credit
Agreement, however, due to the chapter 11 bankruptcy filing on June 27, 2011, substantially all
of our pre-petition debt is in default including $200.0 million principal amount due under the
Pre-Petition Senior Secured Notes, $175.0 million principal amount under the Pre-Petition Senior
Subordinated Notes and $77.0 million principal amount under the Pre-Petition Senior Discount
Notes. |
7. | Redeemable Preferred
Stock On July 17, 2011, we filed with the Court a disclosure
statement, which contained a proposed plan of reorganization. The Plan calls for the issuance
of (i) new senior secured notes (ii) new senior unsecured notes, (iii) new common equity
interests in us in an amount equal to 78% of the Company to the holders of the Pre-Petition
Senior Subordinated Notes, and (iv) new common equity interests in us in an amount equal to
22% of the Company to the holders of the Pre-Petition Senior Discount Notes. The Plan does
not provide for any recovery to holders of our existing equity securities. The ultimate
recovery to creditors and/or our shareholders, if any, will not be determined until
confirmation of a plan of reorganization. |
At June 30, 2011, we had 10,000 shares of Series A Redeemable Preferred Stock (Preferred
Stock). Each share of the Preferred Stock had a par value of $1,000 and accrued dividends
annually at 15.0% of the liquidation preference, which was equal to $1,000 per share, as
adjusted. The Preferred Stock was redeemable at the option of the holders of a majority of the
Preferred Stock, on the occurrence of a change of control, as defined in our First Amended and
Restated Certificate of Incorporation, at a redemption price per share equal to the liquidation
preference plus accrued and unpaid dividends; provided that any redemption was subject to the
restrictions limiting or prohibiting any redemptions contained in the Pre-Petition ABL Credit
Agreement. Effective June 27, 2011, we ceased accruing dividends on the Preferred Stock as such
amounts are determined not to be probable of being an allowed claim. As of June 30, 2011,
unpaid accumulated dividends were $4.1 million and are included in the redemption value of the
Preferred Stock. Accumulated dividends on a contractual basis would have been $4.1 million as
of June 30, 2011 if we continued to accrue dividends on the Preferred Stock. |
13
Table of Contents
Due to the nature of the redemption feature, we classified the Preferred Stock as temporary
equity and measured the Preferred Stock at redemption value. As of June 30, 2011, there have
been no changes in circumstance that would require the redemption of the Preferred Stock or
permit the payment of cumulative preferred dividends. |
8. | Income taxes The following represents a reconciliation between the actual income tax
expense and income taxes computed by applying the Federal income tax rate to income before
income taxes: |

The effective tax rate of 30.6% differs from the statutory federal tax rate of 34.0% primarily
due to the impact of a change in Michigan tax law and to nondeductible meals and entertainment. |
On May 25, 2011, the State of Michigan repealed the Michigan business tax and replaced it with
the corporate income tax. The new corporate income tax is effective January 1, 2012. We have
reflected the impact of the tax law change during the first quarter which resulted in an
increase in deferred tax expense of $0.5 million. |
9. | Fair Value
Measurements The Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures Topic of the FASB ASC
defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value, and expands disclosures
about fair value measurements. The standard excludes lease classification or measurement
(except in certain instances). |
A three-level hierarchal disclosure framework that prioritizes and ranks the level of market
price observability is used in measuring assets and liabilities at fair value on a recurring
basis in the statement of financial position. Market price observability is impacted by a
number of factors, including the type of asset or liability and its characteristics. Assets and
liabilities with readily available active quoted prices or for which fair value can be measured
from actively quoted prices generally will have a higher degree of market price observability
and a lesser degree of judgment used in measuring fair value. |
The three levels are defined
as follows: Level 1 inputs to the valuation methodology are
unadjusted quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in
active markets; Level 2 inputs
to the valuation methodology include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active
markets and inputs that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or
indirectly, for substantially the full term of the financial
instrument; and Level 3 inputs to
the valuation methodology are unobservable and significant to the fair value measurement. |
The Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures Topic of the FASB ASC also applies to disclosures of
fair value for all financial instruments disclosed under the Financial Instruments Topic of the
FASB ASC. The Financial Instruments Topic requires disclosures about fair value for all
financial instruments, whether recognized or not recognized in the statement of financial
position. For financial instruments recognized at fair value on a recurring basis in the
statement of financial position, the three-level hierarchal disclosure requirements also apply. |

Our short-term and long-term debt is not measured at estimated fair value on a recurring basis
in the statement of financial position so it does not fall under the three-level hierarchal
disclosure requirements. The fair value of our short-term debt approximates carrying value due
to its short-term nature. We are unable to estimate the fair value of our long-term debt that
is subject to compromise at June 30, 2011 due to the uncertainties associated with the Chapter
11 Proceedings. Other fixed rate debt estimated fair values are determined utilizing the
income approach, calculating a present value of future payments based upon prevailing interest
rates for similar obligations. |
Estimated fair values for our fixed rate long-term debt not subject to compromise at June 30,
2011, March 31, 2011 and June 30, 2010 is summarized in the following table: |

10. | Segment Information Our operating segments are determined based on the way that management
organizes the segments for making operating decisions and assessing performance. Management
has organized our operating segments based upon differences in products and services provided.
We have three operating segments: Bookstore Division, Textbook Division, and Complementary
Services Division. The Bookstore and Textbook Divisions qualify as reportable operating
segments, while separate disclosure of the Complementary Services Division is provided as
management believes that information about this operating segment is useful to the readers of
our condensed consolidated financial statements. The Bookstore Division segment encompasses
the operating activities of our college bookstores located on or adjacent to college campuses.
The Textbook Division segment consists primarily of selling used textbooks to college
bookstores, buying them back from students or college bookstores at the end of each college
semester and then reselling them to college bookstores. The Complementary Services Division
segment includes book-related services such as distance education materials, computer hardware
and software systems, e-commerce technology, consulting services and a centralized buying
service. |
We primarily account for intersegment sales as if the sales were to third parties (at current
market prices). Certain assets, net interest expense and taxes (excluding interest and taxes
incurred by NBCs wholly-owned subsidiaries, NBC Textbooks LLC, Net Textstore LLC, College Book
Stores of America, Inc. (CBA), Campus Authentic LLC, and Specialty Books, Inc.) are not
allocated between our segments; instead, such balances are accounted for in a corporate
administrative division. |
EBITDA and earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization and reorganization items
(Adjusted EBITDA) are important measures of segment profit or loss utilized by the Chief
Executive Officer and President (chief operating decision makers) in making decisions about
resources to be allocated to operating segments and assessing operating segment performance. |

11. | Accounting
Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted In June 2011, the FASB issued Accounting
Standards Update 2011-05, Comprehensive Income (Topic 220) Presentation of Comprehensive
Income (Update 2011-05). Update 2011-05 eliminates the option to report other
comprehensive income and its components in the statement of changes in equity. Update 2011-05
requires that all nonowner changes in stockholders equity be presented in either a single
continuous statement of comprehensive income or in two separate but consecutive statements.
Update 2011-05 becomes effective for us in fiscal year 2013 and should be applied
retrospectively. Early adoption is permitted. Management has determined that the update will
not have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements. |
In May 2011, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2011-04, Fair Value Measurements
(Topic 820) Amendments to Achieve Common Fair Value Measurement and Disclosure Requirements in
U.S. GAAP and IFRSs (Update 2011-04). Update 2011-04 changes the wording used to describe
many of the requirements in U.S. GAAP for measuring fair value and for disclosing information
about fair value measurements to ensure consistency between U.S. GAAP and IFRS. Update 2011-04
also expands the disclosure for fair value measurements that are estimated using significant
unobservable (level 3) inputs. This new guidance is to be applied prospectively. We expect to
apply this standard on a prospective basis beginning January 1, 2012. Management has determined
that the update will not have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements. |
12. | Subsequent Events
On July 20, 2011, we entered into a First Amendment to the DIP Credit
Agreement. The DIP Credit Agreement was amended to, among other things, change the applicable
margin with respect to term loans to 5.0% per annum in the case of base rate loans and to 6.0%
per annum in the case of Eurodollar loans, retroactively effective on July 15, 2011. |
On July 17, 2011, we filed a Joint Plan of Reorganization of Nebraska Book Company, Inc., et
al., pursuant to chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code and a proposed Disclosure Statement to the
Joint Plan of Reorganization. |
On July 25, 2011, pursuant to the Bankruptcy Code, we filed statements and schedules with the
Court setting forth our assets and liabilities as of the Petition Date. |
13. | Condensed Consolidating Financial Information Effective January 26, 2009, we established
Campus Authentic LLC, a wholly-owned subsidiary of NBC which was separately incorporated under
the laws of the State of Delaware. On April 24, 2007, we established Net Textstore LLC as a
wholly-owned subsidiary of NBC separately incorporated under the laws of the State of
Delaware. On May 1, 2006, we acquired all of the outstanding stock of CBA, an entity
separately incorporated under the laws of the State of Illinois and now accounted for as one
of NBCs wholly-owned subsidiaries. Effective January 1, 2005, our textbook division was
separately formed under the laws of the State of Delaware as NBC Textbooks LLC, one of NBCs
wholly-owned subsidiaries. Effective July 1, 2002, our distance education business was
separately incorporated under the laws of the State of Delaware as Specialty Books, Inc., one
of NBCs wholly-owned subsidiaries. In connection with their incorporation, Campus Authentic
LLC, Net Textstore LLC, CBA, NBC Textbooks LLC and Specialty Books, Inc. have unconditionally
guaranteed, on a joint and several basis, full and prompt payment and performance of NBCs
obligations, liabilities, and indebtedness arising under, out of, or in connection with the
Pre-Petition Senior Subordinated Notes and Pre-Petition Senior Secured Notes. However, we are
not a guarantor of NBCs obligations, liabilities or indebtedness arising out of, or in
connection, with such notes. As of June 30, 2011, we, NBC and NBCs wholly-owned subsidiaries
were also a party to the Secured Superpriority Debtor-in-Possession Credit Agreement.
Condensed consolidating balance sheets, statements of operations, and statements of cash flows
are presented on the following pages which reflect financial information for the parent
company (NBC Acquisition Corp), NBC and the subsidiary guarantors (Campus Authentic LLC, Net
Textstore LLC, CBA, NBC Textbooks LLC and Specialty Books, Inc.), consolidating eliminations,

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENTS DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Overview
Acquisitions. Our Bookstore Division continues to grow its number of bookstores through
acquisitions of contract-managed and start-up locations. We acquired eight contract-managed
bookstore locations in three separate transactions and closed seven locations during the quarter
ended June 30, 2011. We believe there are attractive opportunities for us to continue to expand
our chain of bookstores across the country.
Revenue Results. Consolidated revenues for the quarter ended June 30, 2011 decreased $2.8
million, or 3.9%, from the quarter ended June 30, 2010. The decrease was primarily due to a
decrease in revenues in the Complementary Services Division and Bookstore Division. Revenues
decreased in the Complementary Services Division primarily due to a decrease in revenues in our
distance education business as a result of a decrease in schools served and our systems businesss
hardware and software sales as a result of a decrease in customer upgrades. Revenues decreased in
the Bookstore Division primarily due to a decrease in same-store sales and to closed stores, which
was offset by additional revenue from new bookstores.
Adjusted EBITDA Results. Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA loss for the quarter ended June 30,
2011 increased $5.5 million from the quarter ended June 30, 2010 primarily due to higher selling,
general and administrative expenses due to a $4.6 million increase in professional fees related to
reorganization costs prior to filing chapter 11 and due to lower revenues. EBITDA and Adjusted
EBITDA are considered non-GAAP measures, and therefore you should refer to the more detailed
explanation of the measures that is provided later in this Item 2.
EBITDA is defined as earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization.
Adjusted EBITDA is EBITDA adjusted for reorganization items. There were no reorganization items
for the quarter ended June 30, 2010; therefore, Adjusted EBITDA equals EBITDA for that period. As
we are highly-leveraged and as our equity is not publicly-traded, management believes that the
non-GAAP measures, EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA, are useful in evaluating our results and provide
additional information for determining our ability to meet debt service requirements. That belief
is driven by the consistent use of the measures in the computations used to establish the value of
our equity over the past 15 years and the fact that our debt covenants also use the measures, as
further described later in this Item 2, to measure and monitor our financial results. Due to the
importance of EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA to our equity and debt holders, our chief operating
decision makers and other members of management use EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA to measure our
overall performance, to assist in resource allocation decision-making, to develop our budget goals,
to determine incentive compensation goals and payments, and to manage other expenditures among
other uses.
With respect to covenant compliance calculations, EBITDA, as defined in the DIP Credit
Agreement (hereinafter, referred to as Credit Facility EBITDA), includes additional adjustments
to EBITDA. Credit Facility EBITDA is defined in the DIP Credit Agreement as: (1) consolidated net
income, as defined therein; plus (2) the following items, to the extent deducted from consolidated
net income: (a) income tax expense; (b) interest expense, amortization or write-off of debt
discount and debt issuance costs and commissions, discounts and other fees and charges associated
with indebtedness; (c) depreciation and amortization expense; (d) amortization of intangibles and
organization costs; (e) any non-cash extraordinary, unusual or non-recurring expenses or losses;
(f) any other non-cash charges; (g) any costs, fees, expenses or disbursements of attorneys,
consultants or advisors incurred in connection with the events leading up to and the ongoing
administration of the Chapter 11 Proceedings, the Plan and any other restructuring and any upfront,
arrangement or other fees paid in connection with the DIP Credit Agreement; and (h) charges,
premiums and expenses associated with the discharge of pre-petition debt, minus (3) the following
items, to the extent included in the statement of net income for such period; (i) interest income;
(ii) any extraordinary, unusual or non-recurring income or gains; and (iii) any other non-cash
income. Credit Facility EBITDA is utilized when calculating the minimum cumulative consolidated
EBITDA under the DIP Credit Agreement, which beginning July 1, 2011, requires Credit Facility
EBITDA to be at least equal to certain amounts set forth in the DIP Credit Agreement.
There are material limitations associated with the use of EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA. EBITDA
and Adjusted EBITDA do not represent and should not be considered alternatives to net cash flows
from operating activities or net income as determined by GAAP. Furthermore, EBITDA and Adjusted
EBITDA do not necessarily indicate whether cash flows will be sufficient for cash requirements
because the measures do not include reductions for cash payments for our obligation to service our
debt, fund our working capital, make capital expenditures and make acquisitions or pay our income
taxes and dividends; nor are they a measure of our profitability because they do not include costs
and expenses such as interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization, and reorganization items, which
are significant components in understanding and assessing our financial performance. Even with
these limitations, we believe EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA, when viewed with both our GAAP
results and the reconciliations to operating cash flows and net income, provide a more complete
understanding of our business than otherwise could be obtained absent this disclosure. EBITDA and
Adjusted EBITDA measures presented may not be comparable to similarly titled measures presented by
other companies.

Reorganization under Chapter 11 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code
On June 27, 2011 (the Petition Date), we filed voluntary petitions for reorganization relief
under chapter 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code (the Bankruptcy Code) in the Unites States
Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware (the Court). The reorganization cases are being
jointly administered as Case No. 11-12005 under the caption In re Nebraska Book Company Inc., et
al (hereinafter referred to as the Chapter 11 Proceedings). We continue to operate our business
as debtors-in-possession under the jurisdiction of the Court and in accordance with the
applicable provisions of the Bankruptcy Code and orders of the Court.
The Chapter 11 Proceedings were initiated in response to our inability to fully refinance our
existing debt and vendors unwillingness to extend credit to us under normal terms due to
refinancing uncertainties. Under Section 362 of the Bankruptcy Code, the filing of a bankruptcy
petition automatically stays most actions against a debtor, including most actions to collect
pre-petition indebtedness or to exercise control over our property. Subsequent to the Petition
Date, we received approval from the Court to pay or otherwise honor certain pre-petition
obligations generally designed to stabilize our operations including employee obligations, tax
matters, and, from limited available funds, pre-petition claims of certain critical vendors,
certain customer programs, and certain other pre-petition claims. Additionally, we have been
paying and intend to continue to pay undisputed post-petition claims in the ordinary course of
business.
Chapter 11 Financing
We are currently funding post-petition operations under a $200.0 million DIP Credit Agreement,
consisting of a $125.0 million DIP Term Loan Facility issued at a discount of $1.2 million and a
$75.0 million DIP Revolving Facility. For additional details related to the DIP Credit Agreement
see Note 6.
Plan of Reorganization
To successfully emerge from the Chapter 11 Proceedings, in addition to obtaining exit
financing, the Court must confirm a plan of reorganization, which determines the rights and
satisfaction of claims of various creditors and security holders. On July 17, 2011, we filed with
the Court a disclosure statement, which contained a proposed plan of reorganization (the Plan).
The Plan calls for the issuance of (i) new senior secured notes, (ii) new senior unsecured notes,
(iii) new common equity interests in us in an amount equal to 78% of the Company to the holders of
the Pre-Petition Senior Subordinated Notes, and (iv) new common equity interests in us in an amount
equal to 22% of the Company to the holders of the Pre-Petition Senior Discount Notes. The Plan does
not provide for any recovery to holders of our existing equity securities. The ultimate recovery
to creditors and/or our shareholders, if any, will not be determined until confirmation of a plan
of reorganization. A hearing to consider the Plan is currently schedule for October 4, 2011.
Because a Court confirmed plan of reorganization will determine the rights and satisfaction of
claims of various creditors and security holders, the ultimate settlement of such claims are
subject to various uncertainties. Accordingly, no assurance can be provided as to what values, if
any, will be ascribed in the Chapter 11 Proceedings to these or any other constituencies with
respect to what types or amounts of distributions, if any, will be received. If certain
requirements of the Bankruptcy Code are met, a plan of reorganization can be confirmed without
acceptance by all constituents and without the receipt or retention of any property on account of
all interests under the plan. Under any plan of reorganization, our presently outstanding equity
securities could have no value and could be canceled and we urge that caution be exercised with
respect to existing and future investments in any of our securities.
Going Concern
Our audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended March 31, 2011 and our
unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that we will
continue as a going concern. However, our ability to: (i) comply with terms of the DIP Credit

Challenges and Expectations
We expect that we will continue to face challenges and opportunities similar to those which we
have faced in the recent past and, in addition, new and different challenges and opportunities. We
have experienced, and we believe we will continue to experience, increasing competition from
alternative sources of textbooks for students, including renting of textbooks from both online and
local campus marketplace competitors and alternative media, increasing competition for the supply
of used textbooks from other companies, including other textbook wholesalers and from
student-to-student transactions, competition for contract-management opportunities and other
challenges. We also believe that although there continues to be attractive opportunities related
to contract-management of bookstores, we may not be successful in competing for contracts to manage
additional institutional bookstores. Finally, we are uncertain what impact the current economy
might have on our business. We expect that our capital expenditures will remain modest for a
company of our size.
Quarter Ended June 30, 2011 Compared With Quarter Ended June 30, 2010.

For the quarter ended June 30, 2011, Bookstore Division revenues decreased $1.8 million, or
3.8%, from the quarter ended June 30, 2010. The decrease in Bookstore Division revenues was
attributable to a decrease in same-store sales and to a decrease in revenues as a result of certain
store closings, which were partially offset by additional revenue from new bookstores. Same-store
sales for the quarter ended June 30, 2011 decreased $4.0 million, or 8.6%, from the quarter ended
June 30, 2010, primarily due to decreased new and used textbook revenues and to a smaller decrease
in clothing and insignia wear revenues. The same-store sales decrease in new and used textbooks is
partly attributable to increased activity in the rental program, which was implemented in the
fourth quarter of fiscal 2010 in our off-campus bookstores and extended to all of our bookstores in
fiscal 2011. The rental amount for a textbook is less than the sales amount, which results in
lower textbook revenues. If the book rented would have been sold instead, we estimate that
same-store sales would have been approximately $2.8 million higher, lowering the same-store sales
decrease to 5.8% for the quarter ended June 30, 2011. We define same-store sales for the quarter
ended June 30, 2011 as sales, including internet sales, from any store, even if expanded or
relocated, that we have operated since the start of fiscal year 2011. Revenues declined $0.2
million for the quarter ended June 30, 2011 as a result of twelve store closings since April 1,
2010. We have added 29 bookstore locations through acquisitions or start-ups since April 1, 2010.
The new bookstores provided an additional $2.4 million of revenue for the quarter ended June 30,
2011.
For the quarter ended June 30, 2011, Textbook Division revenues increased $0.5 million, or
2.0%, from the quarter ended June 30, 2010 primarily due to a 9.6% increase in the average price
per book sold, which was partially offset by a 6.6% decrease in units sold. Complementary Services
Division revenues decreased $1.9 million, or 21.3%, from the quarter ended June 30, 2010, primarily
due to a $1.6 million decrease in revenues from our distance education business primarily as a
result of a decrease in the number of schools served, and to a $0.7 million decrease in revenues in
our systems business due to decreased hardware and software sales as a result of a decrease in
customer upgrades. Intercompany eliminations decreased $0.3 million primarily as a result of a
decrease in intercompany revenues in our systems business.
Gross profit. Gross profit for the quarter ended June 30, 2011 decreased $2.0 million, or
6.6%, to $28.2 million from $30.2 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2010. The decrease in
gross profit was primarily attributable to a decrease in the Bookstore Division and Complementary
Services Division gross profit as a result of the aforementioned decrease in revenues, which was
partially offset by an increase in the Textbook Division gross profit. The consolidated gross
margin percentage decreased to 40.6% for the quarter ended June 30, 2011 from 41.7% for the quarter
ended June 30, 2010. The decrease in our consolidated gross margin percentage is primarily
attributable to a small decrease in the gross margin percentage for the Bookstore Division.
Selling, general and administrative expenses. Selling, general and administrative expenses for
the quarter ended June 30, 2011 increased $3.5 million, or 9.9%, to $39.0 million from $35.5
million for the quarter ended June 30, 2010. Selling, general and administrative expenses as a
percentage of revenues were 56.0% and 49.0% for the quarters ended June 30, 2011 and 2010,
respectively. The increase in selling, general and administrative expenses was primarily
attributable to a $4.6 million increase in professional fees related to reorganization costs prior
to filing chapter 11, which was slightly offset by a $0.5 million decrease in personnel expenses as
a result of cost saving initiatives implemented in fiscal year 2011.

Bookstore Division EBITDA loss increased $0.3 million from the quarter ended June 30, 2010
primarily due to lower revenues. The $0.1 million, or 1.5%, increase in Textbook Division EBITDA
from the quarter ended June 30, 2010, was primarily due to an increase in revenue. Complementary
Services Division EBITDA decreased $0.3 million primarily due to decreased revenues which was
offset by a decrease in selling, general and administrative expenses. Corporate Administrations
Adjusted EBITDA loss increased $5.0 million from the quarter ended June 30, 2010, primarily due to
an increase in selling, general and administrative expense due to an increase in professional fees
related to our reorganization prior to the Petition Date.
For an explanation of why EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are useful measures in evaluating our
operating results and how they provide additional information for determining our ability to meet
debt service requirements, see Adjusted EBITDA Results earlier in this Item. The following

Amortization expense. Amortization expense for the quarter ended June 30, 2011 decreased $0.2
million to $2.0 million from $2.2 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2010, primarily due to a
decrease in amortization of non-compete agreements associated with bookstore acquisitions.
Reorganization items. Costs directly attributable to the Chapter 11 Proceedings were $6.5
million for the quarter ended June 30, 2011 and are related to professional fees incurred in
connection with the DIP Term Loan Facility and DIP Revolving Facility.
Income taxes. Income tax benefit for the quarter ended June 30, 2011 increased $0.8 million
to $10.4 million from $9.6 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2010. Our effective tax rate for
the quarters ended June 30, 2011 and 2010 was 30.6% and 43.2%, respectively. The effective tax
rate for June 30, 2011 differs from the statutory federal tax rate and quarter ended June 30, 2010
effective tax rate primarily due to the impact of a change in Michigan tax law enacted May 25,
2011.
CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ESTIMATES
Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
discusses our condensed consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance
with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The preparation of
these condensed consolidated financial statements requires us to make estimates and assumptions
that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets
and liabilities at the date of the condensed consolidated financial statements and the reported
amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. On an on-going basis, we evaluate
our estimates and judgments, including those related to returns, bad debts, inventory valuation and
obsolescence, goodwill and intangible assets, rebate programs, income taxes, and contingencies and
litigation. We base our estimates and judgments on historical experience and on various other
factors that management believes to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which
form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are
not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under
different assumptions or conditions. We believe the following critical accounting policies, among
others, affect our more significant judgments and estimates used in the preparation of our
condensed consolidated financial statements:
Revenue Recognition. We recognize revenue from Textbook Division sales at the time of
shipment. We have established a program which, under certain conditions, enables our customers to
return textbooks. We record reductions to revenue and costs of sales for the estimated impact of
textbooks with return privileges which have yet to be returned to the Textbook Division. External
customer returns over the past three fiscal years have ranged from approximately 22.9% to 26.4% of
sales. Additional reductions to revenue and costs of sales may be required if the actual rate of
returns exceeds the estimated rate of returns. Consistent with prior years, the estimated rate of
returns is determined utilizing actual historical return experience. The accrual rate for customer
returns at March 31, 2011 and June 30, 2011 was approximately 26.2% of Textbook Division gross
external sales. Estimated product returns at March 31, 2011 and June 30, 2011 were $4.9 million
and $4.5 million, respectively.
Bad Debts. We maintain allowances for doubtful accounts for estimated losses resulting from
the inability of our customers to make required payments. Consistent with prior years, in
determining the adequacy of the allowance, we analyze the aging of the receivable, the customers
financial position, historical collection experience, and other economic and industry factors. Net
charge-offs over the past three fiscal years have been between $1.1 million and $2.2 million, or
0.2% to 0.5% of revenues. We have maintained an allowance for doubtful accounts of approximately
$1.3 million, or 0.3% of revenues, over the past three fiscal years. If the financial condition of
our customers were to deteriorate, resulting in an impairment of their ability to make payments,
additional allowances may be required.
Inventory Valuation and Obsolescence. Inventories, including rental inventory, are stated at
the lower of cost or market. The cost of used textbook inventories is determined using the
weighted-average method. Our Bookstore Division uses the retail inventory method to determine cost
for new textbook and non-textbook inventories. The cost of other inventories is determined on a
first-in, first-out cost method. Consistent with prior years, we account for inventory
obsolescence based upon assumptions about future demand and market conditions. At March 31, 2011
and June 30, 2011, used textbook inventory was subject to an obsolescence reserve of $2.4 million.
The obsolescence reserve at March 31, 2010 and 2009 was $2.3 million and $2.4 million,
respectively. If actual future demand or market conditions are less favorable than those projected
by us, inventory write-downs may be required. In determining inventory adjustments, we consider
amounts of inventory on hand, projected demand, new editions, and industry factors.

Goodwill and Intangible Assets. Our acquisitions of college bookstores result in the
application of the acquisition method of accounting as of the acquisition date. In certain
circumstances, our management performs valuations where appropriate to determine the fair value of
assets acquired and liabilities assumed. The goodwill in such transactions is determined by
calculating the difference between the consideration transferred and the fair value of net assets
acquired. We evaluate the impairment of the carrying value of our goodwill and identifiable
intangibles in accordance with applicable accounting standards, including the Intangibles
Goodwill and Other and the Property, Plant and Equipment Topics of the Financial Accounting
Standards Board (FASB) Accounting Standards Codification (ASC). In accordance with such
standards, we evaluate impairment on goodwill and certain identifiable intangibles annually at
March 31 and evaluate impairment on all intangibles whenever events or changes in circumstances
indicate that the carrying amounts of such assets may not be recoverable. We are required to make
certain assumptions and estimates regarding the fair value of intangible assets when assessing such
assets for impairment. We evaluate goodwill at the reporting unit level and have identified our
reportable segments, the Textbook Division, Bookstore Division and Complementary Services Division,
as our reporting units. Our reporting units are determined based on the way management organizes
the segments for making operating decisions and assessing performance. Management has organized
our reporting segments based upon differences in products and services provided. The Bookstore
Division and Textbook Division reporting units have been assigned goodwill and are thus required to
be tested for impairment.
In the first step of our goodwill impairment test conducted at March 31, 2011, fair value was
determined using a combination of the market approach, based primarily on a multiple, and the
income approach, based on a discounted cash flow model. In applying weights to the methods used at
March 31, 2011, we believe that the discounted cash flow model captured our estimates regarding the
results of our future prospects, however, we also considered the markets expectations based on
observable market information. The multiple approach requires that we estimate a certain valuation
multiple of revenue and EBITDA for each reporting unit derived from comparable companies to
estimate the fair value of the reporting unit. The discounted cash flow model discounts projected
cash flows for each reporting unit to present value and includes critical assumptions such as
long-term growth rates, projected revenues and earnings and cash flow forecasts for the reporting
units, as well as an appropriate discount rate. Discount rates were determined separately for each
reporting unit by estimating the weighted average cost of capital using the capital asset pricing
model. The evaluation of potential impairment at March 31, 2011 included consideration of
impending refinancing or reorganization requirements.
If we fail the first step of the goodwill impairment test, we are required, in the second
step, to estimate the fair value of reporting unit assets and liabilities, including intangible
assets, to derive the fair value of the reporting units goodwill.
We determined in the first step of our goodwill impairment test conducted at March 31, 2011
that the carrying values of the Bookstore and Textbook Divisions exceeded their fair values,
indicating that goodwill may be impaired. Having determined that goodwill may be impaired, we
performed the second step of the goodwill impairment test which involves calculating the implied
fair value of goodwill by allocating the fair value of the reporting unit to all of its assets and
liabilities other than goodwill (including both recognized and unrecognized intangible assets) and
comparing the residual amount to the carrying value of goodwill. As a result, we recorded an
impairment charge of $89.0 million in fiscal year 2011. The carrying value of goodwill in excess
of the implied fair value at March 31, 2011 was $62.0 million and $27.0 million for the Bookstore
and Textbook Divisions, respectively. We continue to monitor events and circumstances which may
affect the fair values of both reporting units, including current market conditions, and we believe
that both reporting units are still at risk of failing step one of the impairment test.
The impairment test for intangible assets not subject to amortization involves a comparison of
the estimated fair value of the intangible asset with its carrying value. If the carrying value of
the intangible asset exceeds its fair value, an impairment loss is recognized in an amount equal to
the excess. The impairment evaluation for indefinite lived intangible assets, which for us is our
tradename, is conducted at March 31 each year or, more frequently, if events or changes in
circumstances indicate that an asset might be impaired. Significant judgments and assumptions
inherent in this analysis include assumptions about appropriate long-
term growth rates, royalty rates, discount rate, and cash flow forecasts. We conducted our
annual assessment of indefinite lived intangibles in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2011 and no
impairment was indicated. The evaluation of potential impairment at March 31, 2011 included
consideration of impending refinancing or reorganization requirements.
We are also required to make certain assumptions and estimates when assigning an initial value
to covenants not to compete arising from bookstore acquisitions. Changes in the fact patterns
underlying such assumptions and estimates could ultimately result in the recognition of impairment
losses on intangible assets.
30
Table of Contents
We monitor relevant circumstances, including industry trends, general economic conditions, and
the potential impact that such circumstances might have on the valuation of our goodwill and
identifiable intangibles. It is possible that changes in such circumstances or in the numerous
variables associated with the judgments, assumptions and estimates made by us in assessing the
appropriate valuation of our goodwill and identifiable intangibles, including a further
deterioration in our financial performance, the economy or debt markets or a significant delay in
the expected recovery, could in the future require us to further write down a portion of our
goodwill or write down a portion of our identifiable intangibles and record related non-cash
impairment charges.
Accrued Incentives. Our Textbook Division offers certain incentive programs to its customers
that allow the participating customers the opportunity to earn rebates for used textbooks sold to
the Textbook Division. The rebates can be redeemed in a number of ways, including to pay for
freight charges on textbooks sold to the customer or to pay for certain products or services we
offer through our Complementary Services Division. The customer can also use the rebates to pay
for the cost of textbooks sold by the Textbook Division to the customer; however, a portion of the
rebates earned by the customer are forfeited if the customer chooses to use rebates in this manner.
If the customer fails to comply with the terms of the program, rebates earned during the year are
forfeited. Significant judgment is required in estimating the expected level of forfeitures on
rebates earned. Although we believe that our estimates of anticipated forfeitures, which have
consistently been based upon historical experience, are reasonable, actual results could differ
from these estimates resulting in an ultimate redemption of rebates which differs from that which
is reflected in accrued incentives in the condensed consolidated financial statements. For the
past three fiscal years, actual forfeitures have ranged between 6.4% and 17.9% of rebates earned
within those years. After adjusting for estimated forfeitures, rebates earned are accrued at a
rate of approximately 13.5% of the dollar value of eligible textbooks purchased by the Textbook
Division. Accrued incentives at March 31, 2011 and June 30, 2011 were $5.8 million and $6.9
million, respectively, including estimated forfeitures, however, if we accrued for rebates earned
and unused as of March 31, 2011 and June 30, 2011, assuming no forfeitures, our accrued incentives
would have been $6.5 million and $7.7 million, respectively.
Income Taxes. We account for income taxes by recording taxes payable or refundable for the
current fiscal year and deferred tax assets and liabilities for future tax consequences of events
that have been recognized in our condensed consolidated financial statements or the consolidated
income tax returns. Significant judgment is required in determining the provision for income taxes
and related accruals, deferred tax assets, and deferred tax liabilities. In the ordinary course of
business, there are transactions and calculations where the ultimate tax outcome is uncertain.
Additionally, the consolidated income tax returns are subject to audit by various tax authorities.
Although we believe that our estimates are reasonable, actual results could differ from these
estimates resulting in a final tax outcome that may be different from that which is reflected in
the condensed consolidated financial statements.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Financing Activities
Following our chapter 11 filing on June 27, 2011, our primary liquidity requirements are for
debt service, working capital, income tax payments, capital expenditures and certain
contract-managed acquisitions. We have historically funded these requirements primarily through
internally generated cash flows and funds borrowed under our revolving credit facility. At June
30, 2011, our total indebtedness was $577.9 million, consisting of $200.0 million of Pre-Petition
Senior Secured Notes issued at a discount of $1.0 million with unamortized bond discount of $0.2
million, $175.0 million of Pre-Petition Senior Subordinated Notes (included in liabilities subject
to compromise), $77.0 million of Pre-Petition Senior Discount Notes (included in liabilities
subject to compromise), $125.0 million DIP Term Loan Facility issued with original issue discount
of $1.2 million, $0.2 million of other indebtedness and $2.1 million of capital lease obligations.
Effective, July 15, 2011, the DIP Credit Agreement was amended to change the applicable margin
with respect to term loans to 5.0% in the case of base rate loans and 6.0% in the case of
Eurodollar loans. See note 6 of the notes to our condensed consolidated financial statements for
further information regarding the DIP Credit Agreement.
Principal and interest payments under the DIP Term Loan Facility, DIP Revolving Facility, the
Pre-Petition Senior Secured Notes, the Pre-Petition Senior Subordinated Notes, and the Pre-Petition
Senior Discount Notes represent significant liquidity requirements for us. Effective June 27,
2011, we ceased recording interest expense on outstanding pre-petition debt instruments classified
as liabilities subject to compromise including the Pre-Petition Senior Subordinated Notes and
Pre-Petition Senior Discount Notes. Interest payments on the Pre-Petition Senior Secured Notes
(not subject to compromise) and the DIP Term Loan Facility will be paid monthly while under chapter
11.

Table of Contents
Investing Cash Flows
Our capital expenditures were $2.1 million and $1.6 million for the quarter ended June 30,
2011 and 2010, respectively. Capital expenditures consist primarily of leasehold improvements and
furnishings for new bookstores, bookstore renovations, computer upgrades and warehouse
improvements. We expect capital expenditures to be between $6.5 million and $7.5 million for
fiscal year 2012.
Business acquisition and contract-management renewal expenditures were $0.9 million and $4.7
million for the quarter ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively. During the quarter ended June
30, 2011, eight bookstore locations were acquired in three separate transactions (all of which were
contract-managed locations). During the quarter ended June 30, 2010, twelve bookstore locations
were acquired in nine separate transactions (eight of which were contract-managed locations). Our
ability to make acquisition expenditures is subject to certain restrictions under the DIP Credit
Agreement and we expect to have similar restrictions under financing obtained upon emergence from
the Chapter 11 Proceedings.
During the quarter ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, we capitalized $0.6 million and $0.4 million,
respectively, in software development costs associated with new software products and enhancements
to existing software products.
Operating Cash Flows
Our principal sources of cash to fund our future operating liquidity needs will be cash from
operating activities and borrowings under the DIP Revolving Facility and DIP Term Loan Facility.
Usage of the DIP Revolving Facility to meet our liquidity needs will fluctuate throughout the
fiscal year due to our distinct buying and selling periods, increasing substantially at the end of
each college semester (May and December). Net cash flows used by operating activities for the
quarter ended June 30, 2011 were $45.7 million, up $6.9 million from $38.8 million for the quarter
ended June 30, 2010. The increase in cash used by operating activities is primarily due to an
increase in cash paid for inventory and merchandise due to tightening of creditor terms, an
increase in cash paid for professional fees related to our reorganization prior to the Petition
Date and lower operating results. These increases in cash used were partially offset by an
increase in cash received from receivables.
As of June 30, 2011, we had $124.4 million in cash available to help fund working capital
requirements. At certain times of the year, we also invest in cash equivalents. Any investments
in cash equivalents are subject to restrictions under the DIP Credit Agreement. The DIP Credit
Agreement allows investments in (1) certain short-term securities issued by, or unconditionally
guaranteed by, the federal government, (2) certain short-term deposits in banks that have combined
capital and surplus of not less than $500 million, (3) certain short-term commercial paper of
issuers rated at least A-1 by Standard & Poors or P-1 by Moodys, (4) certain money market funds
which invest exclusively in assets otherwise allowable by the DIP Credit Agreement and (5) certain
other similar short-term investments. We expect to have similar restrictions under financing
obtained upon emergence from the Chapter 11 Proceedings. Although we invest in compliance with our
credit agreement and generally seek to minimize the risk associated with investments by investing
in investment grade, highly liquid securities, we cannot give assurances that the cash equivalents
that are in or will be selected to be in our investment portfolio will not lose value or become
impaired in the future.
Covenant Restrictions
We have a substantial level of indebtedness. Our debt agreements impose significant financial
restrictions, which could prevent us from incurring additional indebtedness and taking certain
other actions and could result in all amounts outstanding being declared due and payable if we are
not in compliance with such restrictions. Access to borrowings under the DIP Revolving Facility is
subject to the calculation of a borrowing base, which is a function of eligible accounts receivable
and inventory, up to the maximum borrowing limit (less outstanding letters of credit). The DIP
Credit Agreement restricts our ability and the ability of certain of our subsidiaries to incur
additional indebtedness, dispose of assets, make capital expenditures, investments, acquisitions,
loans or advances and pay dividends, except that, among other things, NBC may pay dividends to us
to pay corporate overhead expenses not to exceed $250,000 per fiscal year and any taxes we owe.
The DIP Revolving Facility allows for revolving credit commitments up to $75.0 million (less
outstanding letters of credit and subject to a borrowing base). Although the funds under the DIP
Revolving Facility were not available until July 21, 2011, the June 30, 2011 calculated borrowing
base determined under the DIP Credit Agreement would have been $53.1 million of which $3.7 million
was outstanding under letters of credit.
Under the DIP Credit Agreement, we are required, beginning July 1, 2011, to maintain a minimum
liquidity and a minimum cumulative consolidated EBITDA, which requires liquidity and the Credit
Facility EBITDA to be at least equal to certain amounts set forth in the DIP Credit Agreement.
32
Table of Contents
As of June 30, 2011, we were in compliance with all of our debt covenants under the DIP Credit
Agreement, however, due to the chapter 11 bankruptcy filing on June 27, 2011, substantially of our
pre-petition debt is in default including $200.0 million principal amount due under the
Pre-Petition Senior Secured Notes, $175.0 million principal amount under the Pre-Petition Senior
Subordinated Notes and $77.0 million principal amount under the Pre-Petition Senior Discount Notes.
Our debt covenants use Credit Facility EBITDA in the minimum cumulative consolidated EBITDA
calculation mentioned above. For a discussion of EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and Credit Facility
EBITDA, see Adjusted EBITDA Results earlier in this Item 2 and for a presentation reconciling
EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA to net cash flows from operating activities, which we believe to be the
closest GAAP liquidity measure, see Quarter Ended June 30, 2011 Compared With Quarter Ended June
30, 2010 earlier in this Item 2.
Sources of and Needs for Capital
We are currently funding post-petition operations under the DIP Credit Agreement, which
consists of a $125.0 million DIP Term Loan Facility and a $75.0 million DIP Revolving Facility.
Borrowings under the DIP Credit Agreement may be used to finance working capital purposes,
including without limitation, for the payment of fees and expenses incurred in connection with
entering into the DIP Credit Agreement, the Chapter 11 Proceedings and the repayment of loans
outstanding under the Pre-Petition ABL Credit Agreement.
Liquidity after Chapter 11 Bankruptcy Filing
We have incurred and expect to continue to incur significant costs associated with the Chapter
11 Proceedings and our reorganization. Following our bankruptcy filing on June 27, 2011, our most
significant sources of liquidity are funds generated by borrowings under the DIP Credit Agreement
and cash generated by operating activities. Our working capital requirements fluctuate throughout
the fiscal year, increasing substantially in May and December as a result of the textbook buying
periods. In addition to standard financial covenants and events of default, the DIP Credit
Agreement provides for events of default specific to the Chapter 11 Proceedings, including, among
others, defaults arising from our failure to maintain certain financial covenants including a
minimum liquidity and cumulative consolidated EBITDA or our failure to obtain Court approval for a
plan of reorganization acceptable to our lenders. The occurrence of an event of default under the
DIP Credit Agreement would give our lenders the right to terminate their lending commitments and
exercise other remedies available to them under the DIP Credit Agreement.
Our ability to satisfy our debt obligations and to pay principal and interest on our debt,
fund working capital and make anticipated capital expenditures will depend on our future
performance and maintaining normal terms with our vendors, which is subject to general economic
conditions and other factors, some of which are beyond our control. We believe that funds
generated from operations, existing cash, vendor payment terms, and borrowings under the DIP
Revolving Facility and DIP Term Loan Facility will be sufficient to finance our current operations,
cash interest requirements, income tax payments, planned capital expenditures and internal growth;
however, as noted previously, we cannot give assurance that we will generate sufficient cash flow
from operations or that future borrowings will be available under the DIP Revolving Facility and
DIP Term Loan Facility in an amount sufficient to enable us to service our debt or to fund our
liquidity needs.
We and NBC Holdings Corp., a Delaware corporation and our parent, have separate understandings
that (a) with respect to each option granted by NBC Holdings Corp., pursuant to its 2004 Stock
Option Plan, we have granted, and will continue to grant, an option to purchase an equivalent
number of shares of our common stock at the same exercise price to NBC Holdings Corp. and (b) with
respect to each share of capital stock issued by NBC Holdings Corp., pursuant to its 2005
Restricted Stock Plan, we have issued, and will continue to issue, an equivalent number of shares
of our common stock at the same purchase price per share to NBC Holdings Corp.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
As of June 30, 2011, we had no off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably
likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial
condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital
resources.

Accounting Standards Not Yet Adopted
In June 2011, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2011-05, Comprehensive Income
(Topic 220) Presentation of Comprehensive Income (Update 2011-05). Update 2011-05 eliminates
the option to report other comprehensive income and its components in the statement of changes in
equity. Update 2011-05 requires that all nonowner changes in stockholders equity be presented in
either a single continuous statement of comprehensive income or in two separate but consecutive
statements. Update 2011-05 becomes effective for us in fiscal year 2013 and should be applied
retrospectively. Early adoption is permitted. Management has determined that the update will not
have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements.
In May 2011, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2011-04, Fair Value Measurements
(Topic 820) Amendments to Achieve Common Fair Value Measurement and Disclosure Requirements in
U.S. GAAP and IFRSs (Update 2011-04). Update 2011-04 changes the wording used to describe many
of the requirements in U.S. GAAP for measuring fair value and for disclosing information about fair
value measurements to ensure consistency between U.S. GAAP and IFRS. Update 2011-04 also expands
the disclosure for fair value measurements that are estimated using significant unobservable (level
3) inputs. This new guidance is to be applied prospectively. We expect to apply this standard on
a prospective basis beginning January 1, 2012. Management has determined that the update will not
have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements.
Safe Harbor Statement Under the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995
Certain statements contained or incorporated in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q made by us
which are not statements of historical fact constitute Forward-Looking Statements within the
meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 (the Reform Act). Forward-looking
statements give current expectations or forecasts of future events. Words such as anticipate,
expect, intend, plan, believe, seek, estimate and other words and terms of similar
meaning in connection with discussions of future operating or financial performance signify
forward-looking statements. These statements reflect our current views with respect to future
events and are based on assumptions and estimates, which are subject to risks and uncertainties.
Accordingly, undue reliance should not be placed on these forward-looking statements. Also, these
forward-looking statements represent our estimates and assumptions only as of the date of this
report. We do not intend to update any of these forward-looking statements to reflect circumstances
or events that occur after the statement is made and qualifies all of its forward-looking
statements by these cautionary statements.
You should understand that various factors, in addition to those discussed elsewhere in this
document, could affect our future results and could cause results to differ materially from those
expressed in such forward-looking statements, including:
| our ability to satisfy our future capital and liquidity requirements; our ability to
access the credit and capital markets at the times and in the amounts needed and on terms
acceptable to us; our ability to comply with covenants applicable to us; and the
continuation of acceptable supplier payment terms; |
| the potential adverse impact of the Chapter 11 Proceedings on our business, financial
condition or results of operations, including our ability to maintain contracts and other
customer and vendor relationships that are critical to our business and the actions and
decisions of our creditors and other third parties with interests in the Chapter 11
Proceedings; |
| our ability to maintain adequate liquidity to fund our operations during the Chapter 11
Proceedings and to fund a plan of reorganization and thereafter, including obtaining
sufficient exit financing; maintaining normal terms with our vendors and service
providers during the Chapter 11 Proceedings and complying with the covenants and other
terms of our financing agreements; |
| our ability to obtain court approval with respect to motions in the Chapter 11
Proceedings prosecuted from time to time and to develop, prosecute, confirm and consummate
one or more plans of reorganization with respect to the Chapter 11 Proceedings and to
consummate all of the transactions contemplated by one or more such plans of reorganization
or upon which consummation of such plans may be conditioned; |
| increased competition from other companies that target our markets; |
||
| increased competition from alternative sources of textbooks for students and alternative
media, including digital or other educational content sold or rented directly to students
and increased competition for the purchase and sale of used textbooks from
student-to-student transactions; |
34
Table of Contents
| further deterioration in the economy and credit markets, a decline in consumer spending,
and/or changes in general economic conditions in the markets in which we compete or may
compete; |
| our ability to obtain financing upon emergence from the Chapter 11 Proceedings on terms
acceptable to us or at all; |
| our inability to successfully start-up or contract-manage additional bookstores or to
integrate those additional bookstores and/or to cost-effectively maintain our current
contract-managed bookstores; |
| our inability to purchase a sufficient supply of used textbooks; |
| changes in pricing of new and/or used textbooks or in publisher practices regarding new
editions and materials packaged with new textbooks; |
| the loss or retirement of key members of management; |
| the impact of seasonality of the wholesale and bookstore operations; |
| goodwill impairment or impairment of identifiable intangibles resulting in a non-cash
write down of goodwill or identifiable intangibles; and |
| other risks detailed in our SEC filings, all of which are difficult or impossible to
predict accurately and many of which are beyond our control. |
The risks and uncertainties and the terms of any reorganization plan ultimately confirmed can
affect the value of our various pre-petition liabilities, common stock and/or other securities. No
assurance can be given as to what values, if any, will be ascribed in the bankruptcy proceedings to
each of these constituencies. A plan of reorganization could result in holders of our liabilities
and/or securities receiving no value for their interests. Because of such possibilities, the value
of these liabilities and/or securities is highly speculative. Accordingly, we urge that caution be
exercised with respect to existing and future investments in any of these liabilities and/or
securities.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK.
Our primary market risk exposure is, and is expected to continue to be, fluctuation in
interest rates. Our exposure to market risk for changes in interest rates relates to our
short-term investments and borrowings under the DIP Term Loan Facility and DIP Revolving Facility.
Exposure to interest rate fluctuations for our long-term debt was managed by maintaining fixed
interest rate debt (primarily the Pre-Petition Senior Subordinated Notes, the Pre-Petition Senior
Secured Notes and the Pre-Petition Senior Discount Notes). Because we pay fixed interest on our
notes, market fluctuations do not impact our debt interest payments. However, the fair value of
our notes fluctuates as a result of changes in market interest rates, changes in our credit
worthiness, and changes in the overall credit market.
We may invest in certain cash equivalents from time to time allowed by the DIP Credit
Agreement. At June 30, 2011, we did not hold any investments in cash equivalents.
Certain quantitative market risk disclosures have changed since March 31, 2011 as a result of
filing for bankruptcy under chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code, market fluctuations, movement in
interest rates and principal payments. The fair value of our short-term debt approximates carrying
value due to its short-term nature. We are unable to estimate the fair value of our long-term debt
that is subject to compromise at June 30, 2011 due to the uncertainties associated with the Chapter
11 Proceedings. The table below presents summarized market risk information for our fixed rate
long-term debt not subject to compromise.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES.
Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures. Our management, with the participation of
our chief executive officer and treasurer (our principal executive officer and principal financial
officer), evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in
Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) as of June 30, 2011. This evaluation was
performed to determine if our disclosure controls and procedures were effective, in that they are
designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or
submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time
periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commissions rules and regulations, including
ensuring that such information is accumulated and communicated to management, including our chief
executive officer and treasurer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required
disclosure. Based on this evaluation, our chief executive officer and treasurer concluded that, as
of June 30, 2011, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective.
Changes in internal control over financial reporting. There were no changes in our internal
control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange
Act) which occurred during the quarter ended June 30, 2011 that materially affected, or are
reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION
ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
There have been no material changes in our legal proceedings during the quarter ended June 30,
2011 as described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K Part I, Item 3, Legal Proceedings for the
year ended March 31, 2011, as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on July 14, 2011.
On July 17, 2011 we filed with the Court a disclosure statement, which contained a proposed
plan of reorganization (the Plan). The Plan calls for the issuance of (i) new senior secured
notes, (ii) new senior unsecured notes, (iii) new common equity interests in us in an amount equal
to 78% of the Company to the holders of the Pre-Petition Senior Subordinated Notes, and (iv) new
common equity interests in us in an amount equal to 22% of the Company to the holders of the
Pre-Petition Senior Discount Notes. The Plan does not provide for any recovery to holders of our
existing equity securities. The ultimate recovery to creditors and/or our shareholders, if any,
will not be determined until confirmation of a plan of reorganization. A hearing to consider the
Plan is currently scheduled for October 4, 2011.
ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS
There have been no material changes in our risk factors from those disclosed in Part 1, Item
1A., Risk Factors of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2011,
which was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on July 14, 2011.
