ITEM 1. BUSINESS

Overview

Ennis, Inc. (formerly Ennis Business Forms, Inc.) was organized under the laws of Texas in 1909. Ennis, Inc. and its subsidiaries (collectively known as the “Company,” “Registrant,” “Ennis,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) print and manufacture a broad line of business forms and other business products and also manufacture a line of activewear for distribution throughout North America. Distribution of business products and forms throughout the United States and Canada is primarily through independent dealers, and with respect to our activewear products, through sales representatives. This distributor channel encompasses print distributors, stationers, quick printers, computer software developers, activewear wholesalers, screen printers, and advertising agencies, among others. The company’s apparel business was acquired on November 19, 2004.

On August 8, 2006, we purchased the outstanding stock of Block Graphics, Inc. (“Block”), a privately held company headquartered in Portland, Oregon for $14.8 million in cash. Block had sales of approximately $38.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2005. The acquisition of Block continues the strategy of growth in our print segment through related manufactured products to further service our existing customer base. The acquisition added additional short-run print products (snaps, continuous forms, and cut-sheet forms) as well as the production of envelopes, a new product for the Company.

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

On January 3, 2006, we purchased the outstanding stock of Tennessee Business Forms, Inc. (“TBF”), a privately held company located in Tullahoma, Tennessee, as well as the associated land and buildings from a partnership which leased the facility to TBF. The purchase price of this transaction was $1.2 million. TBF had sales of $2.2 million for the twelve month period ended December 31, 2005. The acquisition of TBF continues the Ennis strategy of growth through acquisition of complimentary manufactured products to further service our existing customer base. The acquisition added additional short-run print products and solutions as well as integrated labels and form/label combinations sold through the indirect sales (distributorship) marketplace.

In addition to the foregoing, we purchased: 1) all the outstanding stock of Alstyle Apparel (“Alstyle”), an active-wear apparel company, on November 19, 2004, for approximately $246.0 million (8,803,583 shares of Ennis Common Stock, plus $2.9 million in cash, plus debt assumed of approximately $98.1 million), 2) Royal Business Forms, Inc. (“Royal”), a short-run print products and solutions provider, on November 1, 2004, for approximately $3.7 million (178,000 shares of Ennis Common Stock), and 3) Crabar/GBF, Inc. (“Crabar”), a high-quality medium and short-run print products and solutions provider, on June 30, 2004, for approximately $18.0 million ($6.5 million in cash plus debt assumed of approximately $11.5 million).

Business Segment Overview

We operate in two business segments, the Print Segment and the Apparel Segment. For additional financial information concerning segment reporting, please see note 14 of the notes to our consolidated financial statements beginning on page F-26 included elsewhere herein, which information is incorporated herein by reference.

Print Segment

The Print Segment, representing approximately 56%, 57%, and 85% of our consolidated net sales for the fiscal years ended February 28, 2007, February 28, 2006, and February 28, 2005, respectively, is in the business of manufacturing, designing and selling business forms and other printed business products primarily to distributors

located in the United States. The Print Segment operates 39 manufacturing locations throughout the United States in 16 strategically located domestic states. Approximately 96% of the business products manufactured by the Print Segment are custom and semi-custom products, constructed in a wide variety of sizes, colors, and quantities on an individual job basis depending upon the customers’ specifications.

The products sold include snap sets, continuous forms, laser cut sheets, tags, labels, envelopes, integrated products, jumbo rolls and pressure sensitive products in short, medium and long runs under the following labels: Ennis®, Royal™, Block™, Specialized Printed Forms™, TBF/Avant-Garde™, 360º Custom Labels™, Enfusion™, Witt Printing™ and Calibrated Forms™. The Print Segment also sells the Adams-McClure™ brand (which provides Point of Purchase advertising for large franchise and fast food chains as well as kitting and fulfillment); the Admore® brand (which provides presentation folders and document folders); Ennis Tag & Label™ (which provides tags and labels, promotional products and advertising concept products); GenForms™ (which provides short-run and long-run label production) and Northstar® and GFS™ (which provide financial and security documents).

The Print Segment sells predominantly through private printers and independent distributors. Northstar and GFS also sell to a small number of direct customers. Northstar has continued its focus with large banking organizations on a direct basis (where a distributor is not acceptable or available to the end-user) and has acquired several of the top 100 banks in the United States as customers and is actively working on other large banks within the top 100 tier of banks in the United States. Adams-McClure sales are generally provided through advertising agencies.

The printing industry generally sells its products in two ways. One market direction is to sell predominately to end users, and is dominated by a few large manufacturers, such as Moore Wallace (a subsidiary of R.R. Donnelly), Standard Register, and Cenveo. The other market direction, which the Company primarily serves, sells forms and other business products through a variety of independent distributors and distributor groups. While it is not possible, because of the lack of adequate statistical information, to determine Ennis’ share of the total business products market, management believes Ennis is one of the largest producers of business forms in the United States distributing primarily through independent dealers, and that its business forms offering is more diversified than that of most companies in the business forms industry.

There are a number of competitors that operate in this segment, ranging in size from single employee-owner operations to multi-plant organizations, such as Cenveo and their resale brand known as: PrintXcel, Discount Label and Printegra. We believe our strategic locations and buying power permit us to compete on a favorable basis within the distributor market on competitive factors, such as service, quality, and price.

Distribution of business forms and other business products throughout the United States is primarily done through independent dealers, including business forms distributors, stationers, printers, computer software developers, and advertising agencies.

Raw materials of the Print Segment principally consist of a wide variety of weights, widths, colors, sizes, and qualities of paper for business products purchased from a number of major suppliers at prevailing market prices.

Business products usage in the printing industry is generally not seasonal. General economic conditions and contraction of the traditional business forms industry are the predominant factor in quarterly volume fluctuations.

Apparel Segment

The Apparel Segment represented approximately 44%, 43%, and 15% of our consolidated net sales for the fiscal years ended February 28, 2007, February 28, 2006, and February 28, 2005, respectively. This segment operates under the name of Alstyle Apparel (“Alstyle”). Alstyle markets high quality knit basic activewear (t-shirts, tank tops and fleece) across all market segments. Approximately 95% of Alstyle’s revenues are derived from t-shirt sales, and 92% of those are domestic sales. Alstyle’s branded product lines are AAA Alstyle Apparel & Activewear®, Gaziani®, Diamond Star®, Murina®, A Classic, Tennessee River®, D Drive™, and Hyland® Headware.

Alstyle is headquartered in Anaheim, California, where it knits domestic cotton yarn and some polyester fibers into tubular material. The material is dyed at that facility and then shipped to its plants in Ensenada or Hermosillo, Mexico, where it is cut and sewn into finished goods. Alstyle also ships a small amount of their dyed and cut

product to El Salvador and Costa Rica for sewing. After sewing and packaging is completed, product is shipped to one of Alstyle’s seven distribution centers located across the United States and in Canada.

Alstyle utilizes a customer-focused internal sales team comprised of 20 sales representatives assigned to specific geographic territories in the United States and Canada. Sales representatives are allocated performance objectives for their respective territories and are provided financial incentives for achievement of their target objectives. Sales representatives are responsible for developing business with large accounts and spend approximately half their time in the field.

Alstyle employs a staff of customer service representatives that handle call-in orders from smaller customers. Sales personnel sell directly to Alstyle’s customer base, which consists primarily of screen printers, embellishers, retailers, and mass marketers.

A majority of Alstyle’s sales are to direct customer branded products, and the remainder relates to private label and re-label programs. Generally, sales to screen printers and mass marketers are driven by the availability of competitive products and price considerations, which drive our requirements for inventory levels of our various products, while sales in the private label business are characterized by slightly higher customer loyalty.

Alstyle’s most popular styles are produced based on demand management forecasts to permit quick shipment and to level production schedules. Alstyle offers same-day shipping and uses third party carriers to ship products to its customers.

Alstyle’s sales are seasonal, with sales in the first and second quarters generally being the highest. The general apparel industry is characterized by rapid shifts in fashion, consumer demand and competitive pressures, resulting in both price and demand volatility. However, the imprinted activewear market that Alstyle sells to is generally “event” driven. Blank t-shirts can be thought of as “walking billboards” promoting movies, concerts, sports teams, and “image” brands. Still, the demand for any particular product varies from time to time based largely upon changes in consumer preferences and general economic conditions affecting the apparel industry.

The products of the Apparel Segment are standardized shirts manufactured in a variety of sizes and colors. The Apparel Segment operates six manufacturing facilities, one in California and five in Mexico.

The apparel industry is comprised of numerous companies who manufacture and sell a wide range of products. Alstyle is primarily involved in the activewear market and produces t-shirts, fleece items, and outsources such products as hats, shorts, pants and other such activewear apparel from China, Thailand, Pakistan, India, Indonesia, Russia, and other foreign sources to sell to its customers through its sales representatives. Its primary competitors are Delta Apparel (“Delta”), Russell, Hanes and Gildan Activewear (“Gildan”). While it is not possible to calculate precisely, based on public information available, management believes that Alstyle is one of the top three providers of blank t-shirts in North America. Alstyle competes with many branded and private label manufacturers of knit apparel in the United States and Canada, some of which are larger in size and have greater financial resources than Alstyle. Alstyle competes on the basis of price, quality, service and delivery. Alstyle’s strategy is to provide the best value to its customers by delivering a consistent, high-quality product at a competitive price. Alstyle’s competitive disadvantage is that its brand name, Alstyle Apparel, is not as well known as the brand names of its largest competitors, such as Gildan, Delta, Hanes and Russell.

Distribution of the Apparel Segment’s products is through Alstyle’s own staff of sales representatives and regional distribution centers selling to local distributors who resell to retailers, or directly to screen printers, embellishers, retailers and mass marketers.

Raw materials of the Apparel Segment principally consist of cotton and polyester yarn purchased from a number of major suppliers at prevailing market prices, although we purchase more than 70% of our cotton and yarn from one supplier. Reference is made to — “Risk Factors” of this Report.

Patents, Licenses, Franchises and Concessions

The Company does not have any significant patents, licenses, franchises, or concessions.

Intellectual Property

We market our products under a number of trademarks and tradenames. We have registered trademarks in the United States for Ennis, A Alstyle Apparel, AA Alstyle Apparel & Activewear, AAA Alstyle Apparel & Activewear, American Diamond, Classic by Alstyle Apparel, Diamond Star, Executive by Alstyle, Gaziani, Gaziani Fashions, Hyland, Hyland Headwear by Alstyle, Murina, Tennessee River, 360º Custom Labels, Admore, CashManagementSupply.com, Securestar, Northstar, MICRLink, MICR Connection, Ennisstores.com, General Financial Supply, Calibrated, Witt Printing, GenForms, Royal, Crabar/GBF, Adams McClure, Advertising Concepts, ColorWorx, Star Award Ribbon, and variations of these brands as well as other trademarks.

We believe that our registered and common law trademarks have significant value and these trademarks are instrumental to our ability to create and sustain demand for our products.

Customers

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

Backlog

At February 28, 2007, the Company’s backlog of orders believed to be firm was approximately $18,658,000 as compared to approximately $19,482,000 at February 28, 2006.

Research and Development

While the Company continuously looks for new products to sell through its distribution channel, there have been no material amounts spent on research and development in the fiscal year ended February 28, 2007.

Environment

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

Employees

At February 28, 2007, the Company had approximately 6,383 employees. Approximately 3,139 of the employees are in Mexico and approximately 25 employees are in Canada. Of the USA employees, approximately 449 were represented by three unions, under seven separate contracts expiring at various times. Of the employees in Mexico, two unions represent substantially all employees with contracts expiring at various times.

Available Information

The Company makes its annual report on Form 10-K, quarterly reports on Form 10-Q, current reports on Form 8-K, and amendments to reports filed or furnished pursuant to Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934 available free of charge under the Investors Relations page on its website, www.ennis.com, as soon as reasonably practicable after such reports are electronically filed with, or furnished to, the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). The Company’s SEC filings are also available through the SEC’s website, www.sec.gov. In addition, the public may read and copy any materials we file with the SEC at the SEC’s Public Reference Room at 450 Fifth Street, NW., Washington, DC 20549. Information regarding the operation of the Public Reference Room may be obtained by calling the SEC at 1-800-SEC-0330.

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS

You should carefully consider the risks described below, as well as the other information included or incorporated by reference in this Annual Report on Form 10-K, before making an investment in the Company’s common stock. The risks described below are not the only ones we face in our business. Additional risks and uncertainties not presently known to us or that we currently believe to be immaterial may also impair our business operations. If any of the following risks occur, our business, financial condition or operating results could be materially harmed. In such an event, our common stock could decline in price and you may lose all or part of your investment.

We may be required to write down goodwill and other intangible assets in the future, which could cause our financial condition and results of operations to be negatively affected in the future.

When we acquire a business, a portion of the purchase price of the acquisition may be allocated to goodwill and other identifiable intangible assets. The amount of the purchase price allocated to goodwill and other intangible assets is the excess of the purchase price over the net identifiable assets acquired. At February 28, 2007, our goodwill and other intangible assets were approximately $178.3 million and $83.3 million, respectively. Under current accounting standards, if we determine goodwill or intangible assets are impaired, we would be required to write down the value of these assets. Annually, we have conducted a review of our goodwill and other identifiable intangible assets to determine whether there has been impairment. Such a review was completed for our fiscal year ended February 28, 2007, and we concluded that no impairment charge was necessary. We cannot provide assurance that we will not be required to take an impairment charge in the future. Any impairment charge would have a negative effect on our shareholders’ equity and financial results and may cause a decline in our stock price.

Printed business forms may be superceded over time by “paperless” business forms or otherwise affected by technological obsolescence and changing customer preferences, which could reduce our sales and profits.

Printed business forms and checks may eventually be superceded by “paperless” business forms, which could have a material adverse effect on our business over time. The price and performance capabilities of personal computers and related printers now provide a cost-competitive means to print low-quality versions of many of our business forms on plain paper. In addition, electronic transaction systems and off-the-shelf business software applications have been designed to automate several of the functions performed by our business form and check products. In response to the gradual obsolescence of our standardized forms business, we continue to develop our capability to provide custom and full-color products. If new printing capabilities and new product introductions do not continue to offset the obsolescence of our standardized business forms products, there is a risk that the number of new customers we attract and existing customers we retain may diminish, which could reduce our sales and profits. Decreases in sales of our standardized business forms and products due to obsolescence could also reduce our gross margins. This reduction could in turn adversely impact our profits, unless we are able to offset the reduction through the introduction of new high margin products and services or realize cost savings in other areas.

Our distributors face increased competition from various sources, such as office supply superstores. Increased competition may require us to reduce prices or to offer other incentives in order to enable our distributors to attract new customers and retain existing customers.

Low price, high value office supply chain stores offer standardized business forms, checks and related products. Because of their size, these superstores have the buying power to offer many of these products at competitive prices. These superstores also offer the convenience of “one-stop” shopping for a broad array of office supplies that our distributors do not offer. In addition, superstores have the financial strength to reduce prices or increase promotional discounts to expand market share. This could result in us reducing our prices or offering incentives in order to enable our distributors to attract new customers and retain existing customers.

Technological improvements may reduce our competitive advantage over some of our competitors, which could reduce our profits.

Improvements in the cost and quality of printing technology are enabling some of our competitors to gain access to products of complex design and functionality at competitive costs. Increased competition from these competitors could force us to reduce our prices in order to attract and retain customers, which could reduce our profits.

We could experience labor disputes that could disrupt our business in the future.

As of February 28, 2007, approximately 14% of our domestic employees are represented by labor unions under collective bargaining agreements, which are subject to periodic renegotiations. Two unions represent all of our hourly employees in Mexico. There can be no assurance that any future labor negotiations will prove successful, which may result in a significant increase in the cost of labor, or may break down and result in the disruption of our business or operations.

We obtain our raw materials from a limited number of suppliers and any disruption in our relationships with these suppliers, or any substantial increase in the price of raw materials, material shortages, or an increase in transportation costs, could have a material adverse effect on us.

Cotton yarn is the primary raw material used in Alstyle’s manufacturing processes. Cotton accounts for approximately 40% of the manufactured product cost. Alstyle acquires its yarn from five major sources that meet stringent quality and on-time delivery requirements. The largest supplier provides over 70% of Alstyle’s yarn requirements and has an entire yarn mill dedicated to Alstyle’s production. If Alstyle’s relations with its suppliers are disrupted, Alstyle may not be able to enter into arrangements with substitute suppliers on terms as favorable as its current terms and our results of operations could be materially adversely affected.

Alstyle generally acquires its cotton yarn under short-term purchase orders with its suppliers, and has exposure to swings in cotton market prices. Alstyle does not use derivative instruments, including cotton option contracts, to manage its exposure to movements in cotton market prices. Alstyle may use such derivative instruments in the future. We believe we are competitive with other companies in the United States apparel industry in negotiating the price of cotton. However, any significant increase in the price of cotton or shortages in the availability of cotton as the result of farmers switching to alternative crops, such as corn, could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations.

Freight costs also represent a significant cost to our apparel company. We incur freight costs associated with the delivery of yarn to our manufacturing facility in Anaheim, CA. We also incur freight costs associated with transporting our knit and dyed products to Mexico and our final sewn products from Mexico to our various distribution centers. Any significant increase in transportation costs due to increased fuel costs, etc. could have a material impact on our reported apparel margins.

We also purchase our paper products from a limited number of sources, which meet stringent quality and on-time delivery standards under long-term contracts. However, fluctuations in the quality of our paper, unexpected prices increases, or material shortages, etc. could have a material adverse effect on our operating results.

Alstyle faces intense competition to gain market share, which may lead some competitors to sell substantial amounts of goods at prices against which we cannot profitably compete.

Demand for Alstyle’s products is dependent on the general demand for shirts and the availability of alternative sources of supply. Alstyle’s strategy in this market environment is to be a low cost producer and to differentiate itself by providing quality service to its customers. Even if this strategy is successful, its results may be offset by reductions in demand or price declines.

Apparel business is subject to cyclical trends.

The United States apparel industry is sensitive to the business cycle of the national economy. Moreover, the popularity, supply and demand for particular apparel products can change significantly from year to year. Alstyle may be unable to compete successfully in any industry downturn due to excess capacity.

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

Alstyle operates cutting and sewing facilities in Mexico, and sources certain product manufacturing and purchases in El Salvador, Pakistan, China and Southeast Asia. Alstyle’s foreign operations could be subject to unexpected changes in regulatory requirements, tariffs and other market barriers and political and economic instability in the countries where it operates. The impact of any such events that may occur in the future could subject Alstyle to additional costs or loss of sales, which could adversely affect our operating results. In particular, Alstyle operates its facilities in Mexico pursuant to the “maquiladora” duty-free program established by the Mexican and United States governments. This program enables Alstyle to take advantage of generally lower costs in Mexico, without paying duty on inventory shipped into or out of Mexico. There can be no assurance that the governments of Mexico and the United States will continue the program currently in place or that Alstyle will continue to be able to benefit from this program. The loss of these benefits could have an adverse effect on our business.

Our apparel products are subject to foreign competition, which in the past has been faced with significant U.S. government import restrictions.

Foreign producers of apparel often have significant labor cost advantages. Given the number of these foreign producers, the substantial elimination of import protections that protect domestic apparel producers could materially adversely affect Alstyle’s business. The extent of import protection afforded to domestic apparel producers has been, and is likely to remain, subject to considerable political considerations.

The North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) became effective on January 1, 1994 and has created a free-trade zone among Canada, Mexico and the United States. NAFTA contains a rule of origin requirement that products be produced in one of the three countries in order to benefit from the agreement. NAFTA has phased out all trade restrictions and tariffs among the three countries on apparel products competitive with those of Alstyle. Alstyle performs substantially all of its cutting and sewing in five plants located in Mexico in order to take advantage of the NAFTA benefits. Subsequent repeal or alteration of NAFTA could adversely affect our business.

The Central American Free Trade Agreement (CAFTA) became effective May 28, 2004 and retroactive to January 1, 2004 for textiles and apparel. It creates a free trade zone similar to NAFTA by and between the United States and Central American countries (El Salvador, Honduras, Costa Rica, Nicaragua and Dominican Republic.) Textiles and apparel will be duty-free and quota-free immediately if they meet the agreement’s rule of origin, promoting new opportunities for U.S. and Central American fiber, yarn, fabric and apparel manufacturing. The agreement will also give duty-free benefits to some apparel made in Central America that contains certain fabrics from NAFTA partners Mexico and Canada. Alstyle sources approximately 12% of its sewing to a contract manufacturer in El Salvador, and we do not anticipate that this will have a material effect on our operations.

The World Trade Organization (WTO), a multilateral trade organization, was formed in January 1995 and is the successor to the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade (GATT). This multilateral trade organization has set forth mechanisms by which world trade in clothing is being progressively liberalized by phasing-out quotas and reducing duties over a period of time that began in January of 1995. As it implements the WTO mechanisms, the U.S. government is negotiating bilateral trade agreements with developing countries, which are generally exporters of textile and apparel products, that are members of the WTO to get them to reduce their tariffs on imports of textiles and apparel in exchange for reductions by the United States in tariffs on imports of textiles and apparel.

In January 2005, United States import quotas have been removed on knitted shirts from China. The elimination of quotas and the reduction of tariffs under the WTO may result in increased imports of certain apparel products into North America. In May 2005, quotas on three categories of clothing imports, including knitted shirts, from China

were re-imposed. These factors could make Alstyle’s products less competitive against low cost imports from developing countries.

Environmental regulations may impact our future operating results.

We are subject to extensive and changing federal, state and foreign laws and regulations establishing health and environmental quality standards, and may be subject to liability or penalties for violations of those standards. We are also subject to laws and regulations governing remediation of contamination at facilities currently or formerly owned or operated by us or to which we have sent hazardous substances or wastes for treatment, recycling or disposal. We may be subject to future liabilities or obligations as a result of new or more stringent interpretations of existing laws and regulations. In addition, we may have liabilities or obligations in the future if we discover any environmental contamination or liability at any of our facilities, or at facilities we may acquire.

We depend upon the talents and contributions of a limited number of individuals, many of whom would be difficult to replace.

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

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

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

All of the rented property is held under leases with original terms of two or more years, expiring at various times from March 2007 through April 2012. No difficulties are presently foreseen in maintaining or renewing such leases as they expire.

ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Cautionary Statements

You should read this discussion and analysis in conjunction with our Consolidated Financial Statements and the related notes appearing elsewhere in this Report. In addition, certain statements in this Report, and in particular, statements found in Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, constitute forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. We believe these forward-looking statements are based upon reasonable assumptions within the bounds of our knowledge of Ennis. All such statements involve risks and uncertainties, and as a result, actual results could differ materially from those projected, anticipated or implied by these statements. Such forward-looking statements involve known and unknown risks, including but not limited to, general economic, business and labor conditions;

the ability to implement our strategic initiatives; the ability to be profitable on a consistent basis; dependence on sales that are not subject to long-term contracts; dependence on suppliers; the ability to recover the rising cost of key raw materials in markets that are highly price competitive; the ability to meet customer demand for additional value- added products and services; the ability to timely or adequately respond to technological changes in the industry; the impact of the Internet and other electronic media on the demand for forms and printed materials; postage rates; the ability to manage operating expenses; the ability to manage financing costs and interest rate risk; a decline in business volume and profitability could result in an impairment of goodwill; the ability to retain key management personnel; the ability to identify, manage or integrate future acquisitions; the costs associated with and the outcome of outstanding and future litigation; and changes in government regulations.

In view of such uncertainties, investors should not place undue reliance on our forward-looking statements since such statements may prove to be inaccurate and speak only as of the date when made. We undertake no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.

Critical Accounting Policies and Judgments

In preparing our consolidated financial statements, we are required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the disclosures and reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. We evaluate our estimates and judgments on an ongoing basis, including those related to allowance for doubtful receivables, inventory valuations, property, plant and equipment, intangible assets, pension plan, accrued liabilities and income taxes. We base our estimates and judgments on historical experience and on various other factors that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results may differ materially from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. We believe the following accounting policies are the most critical due to their affect on our more significant estimates and judgments used in preparation of our consolidated financial statements.

We maintain a defined-benefit pension plan for employees. Included in our financial results are pension costs that are measured using actuarial valuations. The actuarial assumptions used may differ from actual results.

Amounts allocated to intangibles are determined based on independent valuations for our acquisitions and are amortized over their expected useful lives. We evaluate these amounts periodically (at least once a year) to determine whether the value has been impaired by events occurring during the fiscal year.

We exercise judgment in evaluating our long-lived assets for impairment. We assess the impairment of long-lived assets that include other intangible assets, goodwill, and property, plant, and equipment annually or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable. In performing tests of impairment, we must make assumptions regarding the estimated future cash flows and other factors to determine the

fair value of the respective assets in assessing the recoverability of our goodwill and other intangibles. If these estimates or the related assumptions change, we may be required to record impairment charges for these assets in the future. Actual results could differ from assumptions made by management. We believe our businesses will generate sufficient undiscounted cash flow to more than recover the investments we have made in property, plant and equipment, as well as the goodwill and other intangibles recorded as a result of our acquisitions. We cannot predict the occurrence of future impairment triggering events nor the impact such events might have on our reported asset values.

Revenue is generally recognized upon shipment of products. Net sales consist of gross sales invoiced to customers, less certain related charges, including discounts, returns and other allowances. Returns, discounts and other allowances have historically been insignificant. In some cases and upon customer request, Ennis prints and stores custom print product for customer specified future delivery, generally within twelve months. In this case, risk of loss from obsolescence passes to the customer, the customer is invoiced under normal credit terms and revenue is recognized when manufacturing is complete. Approximately $20.1 million, $16.4 million and $13.9 million of revenue was recognized under these agreements during fiscal years ended February 28, 2007, 2006, and 2005 respectively.

Derivative instruments are recognized on the balance sheet at fair value. Changes in fair values of derivatives are accounted for based upon their intended use and designation. When utilized, interest rate swaps are held for purposes other than trading. In the past, the Company utilized swap agreements related to its term and revolving loans to effectively fix the interest rate for a specified principal amount. The swaps have been designated as cash flow hedges, and the after-tax effect of the mark-to-market valuation that relates to the effective amount of derivative financial instrument is recorded as an adjustment to accumulated other comprehensive income with the offset included in accrued expenses. There were no derivatives, swaps or deferred gains or losses at the end of fiscal year 2007 or 2006.

We maintain an allowance for doubtful receivables to reflect estimated losses resulting from the inability of customers to make required payments. On an on-going basis, we evaluate the collectability of accounts receivable based upon historical collection trends, current economic factors, and the assessment of the collectability of specific accounts. We evaluate the collectability of specific accounts using a combination of factors, including the age of the outstanding balances, evaluation of customers’ current and past financial condition and credit scores, recent payment history, current economic environment, discussions with our project managers, and discussions with the customers directly.

Our inventories are valued at the lower of cost or market. We regularly review inventory values on hand, using specific aging categories, and write down inventory deemed obsolete and/or slow-moving based on historical usage and estimated future usage to its estimated market value. As actual future demand or market conditions may vary from those projected by management, adjustments to inventory valuations may be required.

As part of the process of preparing our consolidated financial statements, we are required to estimate our income taxes in each jurisdiction in which we operate. This process involves estimating our actual current tax exposure together with assessing temporary differences resulting from different treatment of items for tax and accounting purposes. These differences result in deferred tax assets and liabilities, which are included in our consolidated balance sheets. We must then assess the likelihood that our deferred tax assets will be recovered from future taxable income. To the extent we believe that recovery is not likely, we must establish a valuation allowance. To the extent we establish a valuation allowance we must include an expense within the tax provision in the consolidated statements of earnings. In the event that actual results differ from these estimates, our provision for income taxes could be materially impacted.

In addition to the above, we also have to make assessments as to the adequacy of our accrued liabilities, more specifically our liabilities recorded in connection with our workers compensation and health insurance, as these plans are self funded. To help us in this evaluation process, we routinely get outside third party assessments of our potential liabilities under each plan.

In view of such uncertainties, investors should not place undue reliance on our forward-looking statements since such statements speak only as of the date when made. We undertake no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.

Results of Operations – Consolidated

Net Sales. Net sales for fiscal year 2007 were $584.7 million, compared to $559.4 million for fiscal year 2006, an increase of $25.3 million, or 4.5%. The increase in our sales for the period related primarily to an increase in our Apparel Segment sales which increased $21.0 million during the period, or 8.8%. Our Print Segment sales increased by approximately $4.3 million, or 1.3% during the period. See “Results of Operations – Segments” of this Report for further discussion.

For fiscal year 2006, our net sales increased by approximately $194.0 million, or 53.1%, from $365.4 million for fiscal year 2005 to $559.4 million for fiscal year 2006. Our increase in sales related primarily to the additional sales associated with the acquisition of Alstyle Apparel completed during the later half of fiscal year 2005, as this acquisition provided $181.9 million of our fiscal year 2006 increase, or 94%. The remaining increase related principally to our Print Segment’s acquisitions of Royal and Crabar/GBF, which accounted for an additional $8.0 million and $4.0 million of our fiscal year 2006 increase in sales, respectively.

Cost of Goods Sold. Our cost of goods sold for fiscal year 2007 was approximately $438.8 million, or 75.0% of sales, compared to $417.3 million, or 74.6% of sales for fiscal year 2006. The increase in our cost of sales, on a dollar-basis relates primarily to our increased sales volume as previously discussed. Our cost of sales, as a percentage of sales, increased primarily as a result of raw material cost increases experienced by both our Print and Apparel Segments during the year and market penetration pricing strategies employed by our Apparel Segment during the later half of fiscal year 2007. As a result, our gross profit margins decreased slightly from 25.4 % in fiscal year 2006 to 25.0% in fiscal year 2007.

Our cost of goods sold for fiscal year 2006 was $417.3 million compared to $274.6 million for fiscal year 2005. As a percentage of sales, our cost of goods sold was 74.6% and 75.2% for fiscal years 2006 and 2005, respectively. The increase in our cost of goods sold, on a dollar-basis, related primarily to our increased sales volume. The decrease in our cost of goods sold, on a percentage of sales basis, related primarily to a reduction in our cost of sales associated with our Apparel Segment, which is the direct result of various cost saving programs implemented by the Company during fiscal year 2006. As a result, our gross profit margin as a percentage-of-sales increased from 24.8% for fiscal year 2005 to 25.4% for fiscal year 2006.

Selling, general, and administrative expenses. For fiscal year 2007, our selling, general, and administrative expenses were $72.6 million, or 12.4% of sales, compared to $70.1 million, or 12.5% of sales, for fiscal year 2006. On a dollar basis these expenses increased by $2.5 million or 3.6% and related primarily to our Print Segment acquisitions of Block , SPF, and full year expenses associated with the acquisition of TBF. The decrease in these expenses on a percentage of sales basis is directly related to the fact that our sales increased by 4.5% during the year while these expenses only increased by 3.6%, which is attributable to our continued emphasis on reducing redundant expenses associated with our acquisitions and general economies of sales associated with higher revenues.

For fiscal year 2006, our selling, general, and administrative expenses increased approximately $18.9 million, or 36.9%, from $51.2 million for fiscal year 2005 to $70.1 million for fiscal 2006. While up on a dollar-basis, due to our acquisitions in fiscal year 2005, these expenses as a percentage of sales basis decreased from 14.0% in fiscal year 2005 to 12.5% in fiscal year 2006. This decrease results primarily from our continued emphasis on reducing redundant expenses associated with our acquisitions and general economies of scale associated with our increased revenues.

Income from operations. Our income from operations for the year increased from $72.0 million, or 12.9% of sales for fiscal year 2006, to $73.4 million, or 12.5% for fiscal year 2007. The slight decrease as a percentage of sales basis related primarily to the reduction in the gross profit margin during the year as discussed above.

Our earnings from operations for fiscal year 2006 increased by approximately $32.4 million, or 81.8%, from operational earnings of $39.6 million in fiscal year 2005 to operational earnings of $72.0 million in fiscal year 2006.

As a percentage of sales, our operational earnings increased from 10.8% in fiscal 2005 to 12.9% in fiscal year 2006. The increase in our operational earnings during fiscal year 2006 related primarily to the increase in our sales during the year due to our acquisition of Alstyle Apparel in fiscal year 2005.

Other income and expense. For fiscal year 2007, our other expense decreased by approximately $1.1 million, from $8.1 million for fiscal year 2006 to $7.0 million for the current period. The decrease during the current period related primarily to a reduction in our interest expense which resulted from decreased levels of outstanding debt. Our interest expense decreased from $8.3 million to $6.9 million for fiscal years 2006 and 2007, respectively.

For fiscal year 2005 and 2006, our other income and expense changed approximately $6.0 million, from $2.1 million to $8.1 million, respectively. The increase during fiscal year 2006 related primarily to increased interest expense which increased from $2.8 million in fiscal year 2005 to approximately $8.3 million in fiscal year 2006. The increased interest expense during fiscal 2006 related primarily our increased levels of outstanding debt during fiscal 2006 which was directly related to our acquisition of Crabar/GBF and Alstyle Apparel in June 2004 and November 2004, respectively.

Provision for income taxes. Our effective tax rates were 37.3% and 36.6% for fiscal years 2007 and 2006, respectively. The increase in our overall effective tax rate during the current period related primarily to an increase in our effective foreign and state income tax rates.

Our effective tax rates for fiscal years 2006 and 2005 were 36.6% and 38.7%, respectively. The decrease in our effective tax rate during 2006 over the comparable prior year related primarily to an increase in our foreign income tax credit and the American Jobs Creation Act credit.

Net earnings. As a result of the above factors, our net earnings increased from approximately $40.5 million, or 7.2% of sales for fiscal year 2006 to $41.6 million, or 7.1% of sales for fiscal year 2007. Basic earnings per share increased from earnings of $1.59 per share for fiscal year 2006 to $1.63 for fiscal year 2007. Diluted earnings per share increased from earnings of $1.58 per share for fiscal year 2006 to $1.62 for fiscal year 2007, or an increase of 2.5%.

Our net earnings increased by approximately $17.5 million, or 76.1%, from earnings of $23.0 million, or 6.3% of sales in fiscal 2005, to $40.5 million, or 7.2% of sales in fiscal year 2006. Basic earnings per share increased from earnings of $1.21 per share to $1.59 per share in fiscal years 2005 and 2006, respectively. Diluted earnings per share increased from earnings of $1.19 per share to $1.58 per share in fiscal years 2005 and 2006, respectively. The increase in our earnings and earnings per share during fiscal year 2006 related primarily to the additional earnings derived from Alstyle Apparel which was acquired in November 2004.

Our net sales for the Print Segment were approximately $325.7 million for fiscal year 2007 compared to approximately $321.4 million for fiscal year 2006, or an increase of $4.3 million, or 1.3%. The increase in the Print Segment’s net sales for the fiscal year 2007 is primarily due to our acquisitions of SPF, TBF and Block which added approximately $32.0 million to our print sales during the current year. This increase was offset by the loss of two large customers, which we ceased doing business with during the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2006 and second quarter of fiscal year 2007, respectively. This loss amounted to approximately $19.6 million in lost revenues this fiscal year. We realized our decision to cease doing business with these large customers would most likely impact

our top-line revenue in the short-term; however, given the gross profit margins afforded by these customers, this was a business decision that needed to be made and one that on a bottom-line basis would prove beneficial to our shareholders. In addition, due to the contracting nature of the print industry, our traditional print plants saw their sales decline by $8.1 million or 2.8% during the year.

Our net sales for the Print Segment were approximately $321.4 million for fiscal year 2006 compared to approximately $309.3 million for fiscal year 2005, or an increase of $12.1 million, or 3.9%. The increase in our fiscal year 2006 Print Segment sales related principally to our acquisition of Crabar/GBF and Royal in June 2004 and November 2004, respectively, which accounted for $11.9 million of this Segment’s fiscal year 2006 sales increases. The sales in the Print Solutions Group during fiscal year 2006 were negatively impacted by the closing of our Edison and Medfield plants by approximately $3.6 million. While the closing of these plants negatively impacted our sales during the current period, it had a positive impact of our operational results for the period.

Apparel Segment. The Apparel Segment net sales represented 44.3%, 42.5% and 15.3% of our consolidated net sales for fiscal years 2007, 2006 and 2005 respectively.

Our fiscal year 2007 net sales for the Apparel Segment was approximately $259.0 million compared to approximately $238.0 million for fiscal year 2006, or an increase of $21.0 million, or 8.8%. The increase in the Apparel Segment’s net sales was primarily due to increased volume associated with new customers, which is attributable to our market penetration pricing strategies, which contributed to growth in the third and fourth quarter.

For fiscal year 2005, our Apparel Segment net sales were approximately $56.0 million. Annualizing this Segment’s fiscal year 2005 revenues would arrive at a comparable full-year sales figure of approximately $202.5 million, which would correlate in a full year 2006 over year 2005 sales increase of approximately $35.5 million, or 17.5%. Alstyle Apparel was acquired November 19, 2004 and formed our Apparel Segment. As such, Apparel net sales were included for approximately a quarter in our fiscal year 2005 results. Historically, our third and fourth quarters have been this group’s lowest quarters, and conversely, our first and second quarters have been the Segment’s highest revenue quarters.

Print Segment. Our Print Segment’s gross profit increased approximately $2.1 million, or 2.7% and $1.3 million, or 1.7% for fiscal years 2007 and 2006, respectively. As a percentage of sales, our gross profit was 25.2%, 24.8% and 25.4% for fiscal years 2007, 2006 and 2005, respectively. Our gross profit during fiscal year 2006 was impacted by the decrease in margins at our Adams McClure facility, which related primarily to operational performance issues encountered in executing several large promotional contracts. This conversely had a positive impact on our margins during fiscal year 2007 when we exited these contracts in the later half of fiscal year 2006 and the first half of fiscal year 2007.

Apparel Segment. Our Apparel Segment’s gross profit increased approximately $1.7 million, or 2.7% for fiscal year 2007 as a result of increased sales. Our Apparel Segment’s gross profit increased $50.0 million for fiscal year 2006. As previously discussed, this segment’s results for fiscal year 2005 were only for a portion of the year (since November 19, 2004). As a percentage of sales, our gross profit was 24.7%, 26.1% and 21.8% for fiscal years 2007, 2006 and 2005, respectively. Our Apparel Segment’s gross profit as a percentage of sales decreased during fiscal year 2007 due to raw material cost increases and the inability to pass these through to the marketplace, lower absorption of fixed costs and manufacturing costs due to lower manufacturing levels, and market penetration pricing strategies employed during the third and fourth quarters of this fiscal year which drove higher sales. In addition, our margins during the current period were impacted by a lower manufacturing absorption factor as we reduced our apparel inventory levels during the year by over $10 million. While the aforementioned factors had a negative impact on our apparel margins this year, they in turn had a positive impact on our apparel margins last year. Our Apparel Segment’s gross profit as a percentage of sales increased during fiscal year 2006 primarily as a result of the

following factors: 1) favorable product mix, 2) reduced material costs, 3) improved manufacturing processes which resulted in manufacturing efficiencies and 4) inventory reserves.

Print Segment. Our Print Segment’s profit increased approximately $1.0 million, or 2.1% for fiscal year 2007 primarily as a result of our acquisitions of Specialized Printed Forms and Block Graphics, Inc. Our Print Segment’s profit for fiscal year 2006 decreased by approximately $0.6 million, or 1.2% from fiscal year 2005. As a percent of sales, this Segment’s profits were 14.1%, 14.0%, and 14.8% for fiscal years 2007, 2006 and 2005, respectively. This Segment’s profits during fiscal year 2006, as discussed previously, was impacted by operational performance issues encountered by our Adams McClure plant in executing several large contracts. We exited these contracts during the later part of fiscal year 2006 and the first part of fiscal year 2007, which as indicated above had a positive impact of this segment’s operational profits during the current fiscal year.

Apparel Segment. Our Apparel Segment’s profit increased approximately $3.2 million, or 10.6% for fiscal year 2007 primarily due to increased sales. Our Apparel Segment’s profit increased $26.5 million for fiscal year 2006. As previously discussed, this Segment’s fiscal year 2005 results were only for a portion of the year (since November 19, 2004). As a percent of sales, this Segment’s profits were 12.9%, 12.6%, and 6.4% for fiscal years 2007, 2006 and 2005, respectively. During the current year, while this segment’s gross margins were down slightly due to the factors previously mentioned, we were able to successfully leverage increased sales volume to bring increased profits to our bottom-line, as evidenced by the fact that sales increased by 8.8% for the year but profits increased 10.6% for the year. The majority of the improvement in profit as a percent of sales for fiscal year 2006 as compared to fiscal year 2005 came through improvements in this segment’s manufacturing performance as discussed previously; the remainder came through operational improvements which reduced expense.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

*(Dollars in thousands)*	2007		2006		Change
Working Capital	$	102,269	$	94,494		8.2	%
Cash and cash equivalents	$	3,582	$	13,860		-74.2	%

Working Capital. Our working capital increased by approximately $7.8 million, or 8.2% from $94.5 million at February 28, 2006 to $102.3 million at February 28, 2007. The increase in our working capital during the period related primarily to an increase in our accounts receivable and prepaid expenses of $6.8 million, and a decrease in the current portion of our long-term debt of $11.0 million, which related primarily to a $10.0 million payment on the former Alstyle shareholder notes. This was offset by a reduction in our cash of $10.3 million. As a result, our current ratio, calculated by dividing our current assets by our current liabilities increased from 2.5-to-1.0 at February 28, 2006 to 3.1-to-1.0 at February 28, 2007.

Cash and cash equivalents. Cash and cash equivalents consists of highly liquid investments, such as time deposits held at major banks, commercial paper, United States government agency discounts notes, money market mutual funds and other money market securities with original maturities of 90 days or less. We used cash during the period to pay down our debt and to acquire certain businesses.


	Fiscal year ending
*(Dollars in thousands)*	2007			2006			Change
Net Cash provided by operating activities	$	49,517		$	47,427			4.4	%
Net Cash used in investing activities	$	(19,825	)	$	(9,942	)		99.4	%
Net Cash used in financing activities	$	(39,978	)	$	(34,895	)		14.6	%

Cash flows from operating activities. Cash provided by our operating activities increased by $2.1 million, or 4.4% to $49.5 million for fiscal year 2007 as compared to $47.4 million for fiscal year 2006. This increase is primarily attributable to better management of inventory levels at our Apparel Segment through improved forecasting techniques. This resulted in a $10 million reduction in our finished goods inventory levels at this operation, as well as the improved overall management of receivables and payables during the current year when compared to 2006 offset by the reduction of accounts receivable sold to factoring companies.

Cash flows from investing activities. Cash used for our investing activities increased by $9.9 million, or 99.4% to $19.8 million for fiscal year 2007 as compared to $9.9 million for fiscal year 2006. The increase in cash used during the current period related primarily to acquisitions of businesses of $17.6 million, offset by reduced expenditures for capital equipment of $5.0 million and from the disposal of certain property and equipment (primarily the Medfield property) which provided an additional $2.8 million in cash during the year.

Cash flows from financing activities. We used $5.1 million more in cash associated with our financing activities in 2007 when compared to the same period last year. We borrowed $6.6 million more and paid down $12.1 million more on our outstanding debt during 2007 when compared to the same period last year. This difference related primarily to the acquisition of Block on August 8, 2006, which was $14.8 million and was financed through these borrowings.

Credit Facility – On March 31, 2006, we entered into an amended and restated credit agreement with a group of lenders led by LaSalle Bank N.A. (the “Facility”). The Facility provides us access to $150 million in revolving credit and matures on March 31, 2010. The facility bears interest at the London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) plus a spread ranging from .50% to 1.50% (currently LIBOR + .75% — 6.12%), depending on our total funded debt to EBITDA ratio, as defined. The Facility contains financial covenants, restrictions on capital expenditures, acquisitions, asset dispositions, and additional debt, as well as other customary covenants. As of February 28, 2007, we had $88.5 million of borrowings under the revolving credit line and $3.9 million outstanding under standby letters of credit arrangements, leaving us availability of approximately $57.6 million. The Facility is secured by substantially all of our assets.

During fiscal year 2007, we repaid $29.0 million on the revolver and $11.6 million on other debt. It is anticipated that the available line of credit is sufficient to cover, should it be required, working capital requirements for the foreseeable future.

Alstyle continues to sell a substantial portion of its accounts receivable to factors (fiscal year 2007 – 53%) based upon agreements in place with these factors. We will continue with our plans to reduce the amount of receivables we factor each year through the utilization of our existing bank line or from working capital generated by Alstyle over the next couple years.

Pension – We are required to make contributions to our defined benefit pension plan. These contributions are required under the minimum funding requirements of the Employee Retirement Pension Plan Income Security Act (ERISA). We anticipate that we will contribute from $2.0 million to $3.0 million during our next fiscal year. We made contributions of $3 million to our pension plan during fiscal year 2007.

In addition, during fiscal year 2007, we adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 158 (“FAS 158”), Employers Accounting for Defined Benefit Pension and Other Postretirement Plans. See Note 11 in the Notes to our Consolidated Financial Statements with respect to the impact related to the adoption of FAS 158.

Inventories – We believe our current inventory levels are sufficient to satisfy our customer demands and we anticipate having adequate sources of raw materials to meet future business requirements. The previously reported long-term contracts (that govern prices, but do not require minimum volume) with paper and yarn suppliers continue to be in effect.

Capital Expenditures – We expect our capital requirements for 2008, exclusive of capital required for possible acquisitions, will be in-line with our historical levels of between $5.0 million and $7.0 million. We would expect to fund these expenditures through existing cash flows. We would expect to generate sufficient cash flows from our operating activities in order to cover our operating and other capital requirements for our foreseeable future.

Contractual Obligations & Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements – There have been no significant changes in our contractual obligations since February 28, 2006 that have, or are reasonably likely to have, a material impact on our results of operations or financial condition. We had no off-balance sheet arrangements in place as of February 28, 2007 (in thousands).

New Accounting Pronouncements

FIN 48. In June 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Interpretation No. 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes” (FIN 48), effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006. FIN 48 requires a two-step approach to determine how to recognize tax benefits in the financial statements where recognition and measurement of a tax benefit must be evaluated separately. A tax benefit will be recognized only if it meets a “more-likely-than-not” recognition threshold. For tax positions that meet this threshold, the tax benefit recognized is based on the largest amount of tax benefit that is greater than 50 percent likely of being realized upon ultimate settlement with the taxing authority. We have completed a substantial analysis of FIN 48, except for the effects of transfer pricing of transactions between United States and foreign subsidiaries, and therefore, we have not completed our analysis and determined whether an adjustment will be required.

SAB 108. In September 2006, the United States Securities and Exchange Commission issued Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 108, “Considering the Effects of Prior Year Misstatements When Quantifying Misstatements in Current Year Financial Statements”, (“SAB 108”). SAB 108 provides interpretive guidance on how the effects of the carryover or reversal of prior year misstatements should be considered in quantifying a current year misstatement. SAB 108 is effective for fiscal years ending after November 15, 2006. We do not have any misstatements in our prior year financial statements that would be deemed material under the provisions of SAB 108 and therefore, have made no adjustment.

FAS 157. In September 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements” (“FAS 157”). The provisions of FAS 157 define fair value, establish a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles, and expand disclosures about fair value measurements. The provisions of FAS 157 are effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2006. We are currently assessing the impact of FAS 157 on our consolidated financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.

FAS 158. In September 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 158, “Employers’ Accounting for Defined Benefit Pension and Other Postretirement Plans, an amendment of FAS Statements No. 87, 106, and 132(R)”, (“FAS 158”). FAS 158 requires companies to recognize a net liability or asset and an offsetting adjustment to accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) to report the funded status of defined benefit pension and other postretirement benefit plans. Additionally, FAS 158 requires companies to measure plan assets and obligations at their year-end balance sheet date. We adopted this statement at the end of fiscal year 2007. See Note 11 in the Notes to our Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information with respect to the impact associated with our adoption of FAS 158.

FAS 159. In February 2007, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 159, “The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities – Including an amendment of FAS No. 115”, (“FAS 159”). FAS 159 allows measurement at fair value of eligible financial assets and liabilities that are not otherwise measured at fair value. If the fair value option for an eligible item is elected, unrealized gains and losses on that item shall be reported in current earnings at each subsequent reporting date. FAS 159 also establishes presentation and disclosure requirements designed to draw comparison between the different measurement attributes the company elects for similar types of assets and liabilities. FAS 159 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. Early adoption is permitted. We are currently assessing the impact of FAS 159 on our consolidated financial statements.

ITEM 7A. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

Market Risk

Interest Rates

We are exposed to market risk from changes in interest rates on debt. We may from time to time utilize interest rate swaps to manage overall borrowing costs and reduce exposure to adverse fluctuations in interest rates. We do not use derivative instruments for trading purposes. We are exposed to interest rate risk on short-term and long-term financial instruments carrying variable interest rates. Our variable rate financial instruments, including the outstanding credit facilities, totaled $88.5 million at February 28, 2007. The impact on our results of operations of a one-point interest rate change on the outstanding balance of the variable rate financial instruments as of February 28, 2007 would be approximately $0.9 million.

Foreign Exchange

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

This market risk discussion contains forward-looking statements. Actual results may differ materially from this discussion based upon general market conditions and changes in domestic and global financial markets.

ITEM 8. CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND SUPPLEMENTARY DATA

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

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

No matter requires disclosure.

ITEM 9A. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures. An evaluation was carried out under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design of our “disclosure controls and procedures” (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) as of February 28, 2007, pursuant to Exchange Act Rule 13a-15. Based upon that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures as of February 28, 2007 are effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports filed or submitted by us under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms and include controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in such reports is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive and financial officers as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Due to the inherent limitations of control systems, not all misstatements may be detected. Those inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty and that breakdowns can occur because of simple errors or mistakes. Additionally, controls could be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons or by collusion of two or more people. Our controls and procedures can only provide reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the above objectives have been met.

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting identified in connection with the evaluation required by paragraph (d) of Exchange Act Rules 13a-15 or 15d-15 that occurred during our last fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

MANAGEMENT’S REPORT ON INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING

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

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

	i.		pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of assets of the Company;

	ii.		provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the Company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the Company; and

	iii.		provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or dispositions of the Company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

There are inherent limitations in the effectiveness of any internal control, including the possibility of human error and the circumvention or overriding of controls. Accordingly, even effective internal controls can provide only

reasonable assurances with respect to financial statement preparation. Further, because of changes in conditions, the effectiveness of internal controls may vary over time.

Management assessed the design and effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of February 28, 2007. In making this assessment, management used the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (“COSO”) in Internal Control—Integrated Framework. Based on management’s assessment using those criteria, we believe that, as of February 28, 2007, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting is effective.

Grant Thornton, LLP, an independent registered public accounting firm, has audited the financial statements of the Company for the fiscal year ended February 28, 2007 and has attested to management’s assertion regarding the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of February 28, 2007. Their report is presented on page F-3 of this Report.

PART III

ITEM 10. DIRECTORS, EXECUTIVE OFFICERS AND CORPORATE GOVERNANCE

Except as set forth below, the information required by Item 10 is incorporated herein by reference to the definitive Proxy Statement for our 2007 Annual Meeting of Shareholders.

In the wake of well-publicized corporate scandals, the Securities and Exchange Commission and the New York Stock Exchange have issued multiple new regulations, requiring the implementation of policies and procedures in the corporate governance area. In complying with new regulations requiring the institution of policies and procedures, it has been the goal of the Ennis Board of Directors and senior leadership to do so in a way which does not inhibit or constrain Ennis’ unique culture, and which does not unduly impose a bureaucracy of forms and checklists. Accordingly, formal, written policies and procedures have been adopted in the simplest possible way, consistent with legal requirements, including a Code of Ethics applicable to the company’s principal executive officer, principal financial officer, and principal accounting officer or controller. The Company’s Corporate Governance Guidelines, its charters for each of its Audit, Compensation, Nominating and Corporate Governance Committees and its Code of Ethics covering all Employees are available on the Company’s website, www.ennis.com, and a copy will be mailed upon request to Ms. Sharlene Andrews at 2441 Presidential Parkway, Midlothian, TX 76065. If we make any substantive amendments to the Code, or grant any waivers to the Code for any of our senior officers or directors, we will disclose such amendment or waiver on our website and in a report on Form 8-K.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

Board of Directors and Shareholders
Ennis, Inc.

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Ennis, Inc. (a Texas corporation) and subsidiaries as of February 28, 2007 and 2006 and the related consolidated statements of earnings, changes in shareholders’ equity and comprehensive income, and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended February 28, 2007. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

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

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Ennis, Inc. and subsidiaries as of February 28, 2007 and 2006, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended February 28, 2007 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

As discussed in Note 8 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company has adopted Financial Accounting Standard Board (FASB) Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123(R), Share-Based Payment, effective March 1, 2006. As discussed in Note 11 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company also adopted FASB Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 158, Employers’ Accounting for Defined Benefit Pension and Other Postretirement Plans: An Amendment of FASB Statements No. 87, 88, 106, and 132R, effective February 28, 2007.

We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the effectiveness of Ennis, Inc. and subsidiaries’ internal control over financial reporting as of February 28, 2007, based on criteria established in Internal Control—Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO) and our report dated May 9, 2007 expressed an unqualified opinion on both management’s assessment of Ennis, Inc.’s internal control over financial reporting and on the effectiveness of Ennis, Inc.’s internal control over financial reporting.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

Board of Directors and Shareholders
Ennis, Inc.

We have audited management’s assessment, included in the accompanying Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting, that Ennis, Inc. (a Texas corporation) and subsidiaries maintained effective internal control over financial reporting as of February 28, 2007, based on criteria established in Internal Control—Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO). Ennis, Inc.’s management is responsible for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on management’s assessment and an opinion on the effectiveness of the company’s internal control over financial reporting based on our audit.

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

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

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

In our opinion, management’s assessment that Ennis, Inc. and subsidiaries maintained effective internal control over financial reporting as of February 28, 2007, is fairly stated, in all material respects, based on criteria established in Internal Control-Integrated Framework issued by COSO. Also in our opinion, Ennis, Inc. and subsidiaries maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of February 28, 2007, based on criteria established in Internal Control-Integrated Framework issued by COSO.

We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the consolidated balance sheets of Ennis, Inc. and subsidiaries as of February 28, 2007 and 2006 and the related consolidated statements of earnings, changes in shareholders’ equity and comprehensive income, and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended February 28, 2007 and our report dated May 9, 2007 expressed an unqualified opinion on those financial statements.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(1) Significant Accounting Policies and General Matters

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

Basis of Consolidation. The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated. The Company’s fiscal years ended on the following days: February 28, 2007, February 28, 2006 and February 28, 2005 (fiscal years ended 2007, 2006, and 2005, respectively).

Cash and Cash Equivalents. Cash and cash equivalents consist of highly liquid investments, such as time deposits held at major banks, commercial paper, United States government agency discount notes, money market mutual funds and other money market securities with original maturities of 90 days or less. At February 28, 2007, the Company had $993,000 in Mexican and $460,000 in Canadian bank accounts.

Accounts Receivable. Trade receivables are uncollateralized customer obligations due under normal trade terms requiring payment generally within 30 days from the invoice date. The Company’s allowance for doubtful receivables reserve is based on an analysis that estimates the amount of its total customer receivable balance that is not collectible. This analysis includes assessing a default probability to customers’ receivable balances, which is influenced by several factors including (i) current market conditions, (ii) periodic review of customer credit worthiness, and (iii) review of customer receivable aging and payment trends.

Select trade accounts receivable are sold by the Company to various factors on both non-recourse and recourse bases. These transactions are accounted for as a sale of financial assets if sold without recourse and a secured borrowing if sold with recourse. Advances may be paid at the Company’s request on receivables not yet collected by the factors.

Inventories. With the exception of approximately one third of the raw materials of its print segment, inventories valued at the lower of last-in, first-out (LIFO) cost or market, the Company values its inventories at the lower of first in, first out (FIFO) cost or market. At fiscal years ended 2007 and 2006, approximately 6.24% and 6.65% of inventories, respectively, are valued at LIFO with the remainder of inventories valued at FIFO. The Company provides reserves for excess and obsolete inventory when necessary based upon analysis of quantities on hand, recent sales volumes and reference to market prices.

Property, Plant and Equipment. Depreciation of property, plant and equipment is calculated using the straight-line method over a period presently considered adequate to amortize the total cost over the useful lives of the assets, which range from 3 to 11 years for plant machinery and equipment and 10 to 40 years for buildings and improvements. Leasehold improvements are amortized over the shorter of the lease term or the estimated useful life of the improvements. Repairs and maintenance are expensed as incurred. Renewals and betterments are capitalized and depreciated over the remaining life of the specific property unit. The Company capitalizes all leases that are in substance acquisitions of property. At February 28, 2007, the Company had property, plant and equipment of approximately $1.9 million classified as assets held for sale on the consolidated balance sheet. This balance reflects the net book value of a vacant facility and the associated land held for sale as well as equipment, which is expected to be sold during fiscal year 2008. At February 28, 2006, the Company had property, plant and equipment of approximately $2.4 million classified as assets held for sale on the consolidated balance sheet. This balance reflects the net book value of a vacant facility and the associated land held for sale which was sold in June 2006. See Note 16 – Assets Held For Sale for further discussion.

Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets. Goodwill is the excess of the purchase price paid over the value of net assets of businesses acquired and is not amortized. Intangible assets with determinable lives are amortized on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful life. Goodwill and indefinite-lived intangibles are evaluated for impairment on an annual basis, or more frequently if impairment indicators arise, using a fair-value-based test that compares the fair value of the related business unit to its carrying value.

F-9

ENNIS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(1) Significant Accounting Policies and General Matters-continued

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

Fair Value of Financial Instruments. The carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivables and accounts payable approximate fair value because of the short maturity of these instruments. Long-term debt as of fiscal years ended 2007 and 2006 approximates its fair value as the interest rate is tied to market rates.

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

Derivative Financial Instruments. Derivative instruments are recognized on the balance sheet at fair value. Changes in fair values of derivatives are accounted for based upon their intended use and designation. When utilized, interest rate swaps are held for purposes other than trading. In the past, the Company utilized swap agreements related to its term and revolving loans to effectively fix the interest rate for a specified principal amount. The swaps have been designated as cash flow hedges and the after-tax effect of the mark-to-market valuation that relates to the effective amount of derivative financial instrument is recorded as an adjustment to accumulated other comprehensive income with the offset included in accrued expenses. There were no derivatives, swaps or deferred gains or losses at the end of fiscal year 2007 or 2006.

Revenue Recognition. Revenue is generally recognized upon shipment of products. Net sales represent gross sales invoiced to customers, less certain related charges, including sales tax, discounts, returns and other allowances. Returns, discounts and other allowances have historically been insignificant. In some cases and upon customer request, the Company prints and stores custom print product for customer specified future delivery, generally within twelve months. In this case, risk of loss passes to the customer, the customer is invoiced under normal credit terms, and revenue is recognized when manufacturing is complete. Approximately $20,147,000, $16,395,000, and $13,945,000 of revenue was recognized under these arrangements during fiscal years 2007, 2006, and 2005 respectively.

Advertising Expenses. The Company expenses advertising costs as incurred. Catalog and brochure preparation and printing costs, which are considered direct response advertising, are amortized to expense over the life of the catalog, which typically ranges from three to twelve months. Advertising expense was approximately $1,905,000, $1,559,000 and $1,628,000, during the fiscal years ended 2007, 2006 and 2005, respectively. Included in advertising expense is amortization related to direct response advertising of $703,000, $622,000 and $454,000 for the fiscal years ended 2007, 2006 and 2005, respectively. Unamortized direct advertising costs included in other current assets at fiscal years ended 2007 and 2006 were $529,000 and $379,000, respectively.

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

Earnings Per Share. Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing earnings by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share is computed by dividing earnings by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding plus the number of additional shares that would have been outstanding if potentially dilutive securities had been issued, calculated using the treasury stock method. For fiscal year ended 2006, 61,619 of options were not included in the diluted earnings per share computation because their effect was anti-dilutive. No shares were anti-dilutive for either fiscal year 2007 or 2005.

Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (Loss). Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) includes adjustments of the changes in the fair value of the Company’s cash flow hedge, foreign currency translation and pension plan. Amounts charged directly to shareholders’ equity related to the Company’s interest rate swap and pension plan are included in “other comprehensive income.” Adjustments resulting from the translation of the financial statements of our Mexican and Canadian operations are charged or credited directly to shareholders’ equity and shown as cumulative translation adjustments in other comprehensive income (loss).

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

Transaction gains and losses that arise from exchange rate fluctuations on transactions denominated in a currency other than the functional currency are included in the results of operations in other income (expense), net as incurred.

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

Shipping and Handling Costs. In accordance with Emerging Issues Task Force (“EITF”) 00-10, “Accounting for Shipping and Handling Fees and Costs,” the Company records amounts billed to customers for shipping and handling costs in net sales and related costs are included in cost of goods sold.

Stock Based Compensation. The Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123 (revised 2004), “Share-Based Payment” (FAS 123R), effective March 1, 2006. FAS 123R requires the recognition of the fair value of stock-based compensation in net earnings. The Company recognizes stock-based compensation expense net of estimated forfeitures (estimated at 1.1%) over the requisite service period of the individual grants, which generally equals the vesting period. For the fiscal year ended February 28, 2007, in accordance with FAS 123R, the Company recorded stock based compensation expense of approximately $302,000, and related tax benefit of $112,000, related to this stock based compensation. For a further discussion of the impact of FAS 123R on the results of our financial statements, see Note 8, “Stock Option Plans and Stock Based Compensation.”

Prior to March 1, 2006, the Company applied the disclosure-only provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation”, (FAS 123). In accordance with the provisions of FAS 123, the Company accounted for stock options granted to its employees and Board of Directors using the recognition and measurement provisions of Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees,” and its related interpretations, (APB 25) and accordingly did not recognize compensation expense for stock options issued to employees and board members. For disclosure purposes, the Company used the Black-Scholes option pricing model to calculate the related compensation expense for stock options granted, as if it had applied the fair value recognition provisions of FAS 123. The Company has elected to utilize the modified prospective transition method for adopting FAS 123R. Under this method, the provisions of FAS 123R apply to all awards granted or modified after the date of adoption and any unvested awards outstanding at the date of adoption.

New Accounting Pronouncements

FIN 48. In June 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Interpretation No. 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes” (FIN 48), effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006. FIN 48 requires a two-step approach to determine how to recognize tax benefits in the financial statements where recognition and measurement of a tax benefit must be evaluated separately. A tax benefit will be recognized only if it meets a “more-likely-than-not” recognition threshold. For tax positions that meet this threshold, the tax benefit recognized is based on the largest amount of tax benefit that is greater than 50 percent likely of being realized upon ultimate settlement with the taxing authority. The Company has completed a substantial analysis of FIN 48, except for the effects of transfer pricing of transactions between United States and foreign subsidiaries, and therefore, it has not completed its analysis and determined whether an adjustment will be required.

SAB 108. In September 2006, the United States Securities and Exchange Commission issued Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 108, “Considering the Effects of Prior Year Misstatements When Quantifying Misstatements in Current Year Financial Statements”, (“SAB 108”). SAB 108 provides interpretive guidance on how the effects of the carryover or reversal of prior year misstatements should be considered in quantifying a current year misstatement. SAB 108 is effective for fiscal years ending after November 15, 2006. The Company does not have any misstatements in the prior year financial statements that would be deemed material under the provisions of SAB 108 and therefore has made no adjustment.

FAS 157. In September 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements”, (“FAS 157”). The provisions of FAS 157 define fair value, establish a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles, and expand disclosures about fair value measurements. The provisions of FAS 157 are effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2006. The Company is currently assessing the impact of FAS 157 on its consolidated financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.

FAS 158. In September 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 158, “Employers’ Accounting for Defined Benefit Pension and Other Postretirement Plans, an amendment of FAS Statements No. 87, 106, and 132(R)”, (“FAS 158”). FAS 158 requires companies to recognize a net liability or asset and an offsetting adjustment to accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) to report the funded status of defined benefit pension and other postretirement benefit plans. Additionally, FAS 158 requires companies to measure plan assets and obligations at their year-end balance sheet date. The Company adopted this statement at the end of fiscal year 2007. See Note 11 in the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information with respect to the impact associated with the adoption of FAS 158.

FAS 159. In February 2007, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 159, “The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities – Including an amendment of FAS No. 115”, (“FAS 159”). FAS 159 allows measurement at fair value of eligible financial assets and liabilities that are not otherwise measured at fair value. If the fair value option for an eligible item is elected, unrealized gains and losses on that item shall be reported in current earnings at each subsequent reporting date. FAS 159 also establishes presentation and disclosure requirements designed to draw comparison between the different measurements attributes the company elects for similar types of assets and liabilities. FAS 159 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently assessing the impact of FAS 159 on its consolidated financial statements.

Concentrations of Risk.

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

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

(2) Due From Factors

Pursuant to terms of an agreement between the Company and various factors, the Company sold approximately 53% of its trade accounts receivable of Alstyle Apparel (“Alstyle”) to the factors on a non-recourse basis in fiscal year 2007. The price at which the accounts are sold is the invoice amount reduced by the factor commission of between 0.25% and 1.50%. Additionally, some trade accounts receivable are sold to the factors on a recourse basis.

Trade accounts receivable not sold to the factor remain in the custody and control of the Company and the Company maintains all credit risk on those accounts as well as accounts which are sold to the factor with recourse. The Company accounts for receivables sold to factors with recourse as secured borrowings.

The Company may request payment from the factor in advance of the collection date or maturity. Any such advance payments are assessed interest charges through the collection date or maturity at the JP Morgan Chase Prime Rate. The Company’s obligations with respect to advances from the factor are limited to the interest charges thereon. Advance payments are limited to a maximum of 90% (ninety percent) of eligible accounts receivable.

(3) Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Doubtful Receivables

Accounts receivable are reduced by an allowance for an estimate of amounts that are uncollectible. Approximately 98% of the Company’s receivables are due from customers in North America. The Company extends credit to its customers based upon its evaluation of the following factors: (i) the customer’s financial condition, (ii) the amount of credit the customer requests and (iii) the customer’s actual payment history (which includes disputed invoice resolution). The Company does not typically require its customers to post a deposit or supply collateral. The Company’s allowance for doubtful receivables reserve is based on an analysis that estimates the amount of its total customer receivable balance that is not collectible. This analysis includes assessing a default probability to customers’ receivable balances, which is influenced by several factors including (i) current market conditions, (ii) periodic review of customer credit worthiness, and (iii) review of customer receivable aging and payment trends.

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

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

On March 31, 2006, the Company entered into an amended and restated credit agreement with a group of lenders led by LaSalle Bank N.A. (the “Facility”). The Facility provides the Company access to $150 million in revolving credit and matures on March 31, 2010. The facility bears interest at the London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) plus a spread ranging from .50% to 1.50% (currently LIBOR + .75% — 6.12%), depending on our total funded debt to EBITDA ratio, as defined. The Facility is secured by substantially all of our personal and investment property. The Facility contains financial covenants, restrictions on capital expenditures, acquisitions, asset dispositions, and additional debt, as well as other customary covenants, such as total funded debt to EBITDA ratio, as defined. The Facility is secured by substantially all of the Company’s assets.

Assets under capital leases have a total gross book value of $1,092,000 and $1,196,000 and the related accumulated amortization of $240,000 and $477,000 for fiscal years ended 2007 and 2006, respectively, and are included in property and equipment. Amortization of assets under capital leases is included in depreciation expense.

Notes payable to finance companies have interest due monthly at 4.82% to 9.46% and principal paid in equal monthly installments. The notes mature at dates ranging from March 2007 through January 2010 and are collateralized by certain equipment.

Notes payable to former Alstyle Shareholders were obligations of Alstyle Apparel. These notes were assumed by the Company in connection with its acquisition of Alstyle Apparel in November 2004. These loans were to individuals with annual payments bearing interest at rates of 4.0% and matured in November 2006. Payments on these notes were subject to set-off arbitration procedures relating to subsequently discovered pre-acquisition liabilities that were either undisclosed or inappropriately accrued for in the books and records, at the time of closing. The Company made all principal payments during fiscal 2007 relating to these notes. In connection with these payments, the former shareholders of Alstyle were required to provide a three year irrevocable letter of credit through 2010 in favor of the Company to cover the resolution of any potential pre-acquisition liabilities incurred.

(7) Shareholders’ Equity

In fiscal year 1999, the Company adopted a Shareholder Rights Plan, which provides that the holders of the Company’s common stock receive one preferred share purchase right (a Right) for each share of the Company’s common stock they own. Each Right entitles the holder to buy one one-thousandth of a share of Series A Junior Participating Preferred Stock, par value $10.00 per share, at a purchase price of $27.50 per one one-thousandth of a share, subject to adjustment. The Rights are not currently exercisable, but would become exercisable if certain events occurred relating to a person or group acquiring or attempting to acquire 15% or more of the outstanding shares of common stock of the Company (the Event). Under those circumstances, the holders of the Rights would be entitled to buy shares of the Company’s common stock or stock of an acquirer of the Company at a 50% discount. The Rights expire on November 4, 2008, unless earlier redeemed by the Company. At any time prior to the Event, the Board of Directors of the Company may redeem the Rights in whole, but not in part, at a price of $0.01 per Right (the Redemption Price). The redemption of the Rights may be made effective at such time and on such basis and conditions as the Board of Directors, in its sole discretion, may establish. Immediately upon any redemption of the Rights, the right to exercise the Rights will terminate and the only right of the holders of Rights will be to receive the Redemption Price. The terms of the Rights may be amended by the Board of Directors of the Company without the consent of the holders of the Rights, except that from and after such time as any person or group of affiliated or associated persons becomes an Acquiring Person, no such amendment may adversely affect the interests of the holders of the Rights.

The Company’s revolving credit facility restricts acquisition of treasury shares and distributions to its shareholders.

(8) Stock Option Plans and Stock Based Compensation

The Company has stock options granted to key executives and managerial employees and non-employee directors. At fiscal year ended 2007, the Company has two stock option plans: the 1998 Option and Restricted Stock Plan amended and restated as of June 17, 2004 and the 1991 Incentive Stock Option Plan. The Company has 975,390 shares of unissued common stock reserved under the stock option plans for issuance to officers and directors, and supervisory employees of the Company and its subsidiaries. The exercise price of each option granted equals the quoted market price of the Company’s common stock on the date of grant, and an option’s maximum term is ten years. Options may be granted at different times during the year and vest ratably over various periods, from upon grant to five years. The Company uses treasury stock to satisfy option exercises and restricted stock awards.

Net earnings		190
Basic and diluted net earnings per common share	$	0.01

Prior to the adoption of FAS 123R, all tax benefits resulting from the exercise of stock options were presented as operating cash flows in the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. FAS 123R requires that cash flows from the exercise of stock options resulting from tax benefits in excess of recognized cumulative compensation cost (excess tax benefits) be classified as financing cash flows. For fiscal year 2007, $169,000 of such excess tax benefits were classified as financing cash flows.

(9) Earnings per Share

Basic earnings per share have been computed by dividing net earnings by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the applicable period. Diluted earnings per share reflect the potential dilution that could occur if stock options or other contracts to issue common shares were exercised or converted into common stock. The following table sets forth the computation for basic and diluted earnings per share for the fiscal years ended:

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


	2007			2006
Current deferred tax assets related to:
Allowance for doubtful receivables	$	1,052		$	1,170

The Company maintains a valuation allowance to adjust the basis of net deferred tax assets in accordance with FAS 109 “Accounting for Income Taxes” for approximately $250,000 as of February 28, 2007 and 2006 related to foreign tax credits. The Company has federal and state net operating loss carry forwards as a result of an acquisition in the amount of $3,667,000 expiring in fiscal years 2016 through 2025.

(11) Employee Benefit Plans

The Company and certain subsidiaries have a noncontributory defined benefit retirement plan covering approximately 15% of their employees. Benefits are based on years of service and the employee’s average compensation for the highest five compensation years preceding retirement or termination. The Company’s funding policy is to contribute annually an amount in accordance with the requirements of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (ERISA).

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


	2007			2006
Equity securities		47	%		47	%
Debt securities		44	%		43	%
Cash and cash equivalents		9	%		10	%

Total		100	%		100	%

The Company’s target asset allocation is 47.0% equities, 44.0% fixed income, and 9.0% cash with a 10.0% plus or minus factor based upon the combined judgments of the Company’s Administrative Committee and its investment advisors.

The Company estimates the long-term rate of return on plan assets will be 8.0% based upon target asset allocation. Expected returns are developed based upon the information obtained from the Company’s investment advisors. The advisors provide ten-year historical and five-year expected returns on the fund in the target asset allocation. The return information is weighted based upon the asset allocation at the end of the fiscal year. The expected rate of return at the beginning of the fiscal year ended 2007 was 8.0%, the rate used in the calculation of the current year pension expense.

The Company’s retirement benefit plan costs are accounted for using a valuation required by Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 87 (“FAS 87”), “Employers’ Accounting for Pensions.” The Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 158, “Employer’s Accounting for Defined Benefit Pension and other Postretirement Plans – an amendment FASB Statements No. 87, 88, 106 and 132R” (“FAS 158”) as of February 28, 2007. FAS 158 requires an entity to recognize the funded status of its defined pension plans on the balance sheet and to recognize changes in the funded status that arise during the period but are not recognized as components of net periodic benefit cost, within accumulated other comprehensive income (loss), net of income taxes.

The following is a summary of the effects of adopting FAS 158 on the Company’s balance sheet at February 28, 2007:

(11) Employee Benefit Plans-continued

Effective February 1, 1994, the Company adopted a Defined Contribution 401(k) Plan (the 401(k) Plan) for its United States employees. The 401(k) Plan covers substantially all full-time employees who have completed sixty days of service and attained the age of eighteen. United States employees can contribute up to 100 percent of their annual compensation, but are limited to the maximum annual dollar amount allowable under the Internal Revenue Code. The 401(k) Plan provides for employer matching contributions or discretionary employer contributions for certain employees not enrolled in the pension plan for employees of the Company. Eligibility for employer contributions, matching percentage, and limitations depends on the participant’s employment location and whether the employees are covered by the Company’s pension plan, etc. The Company’s matching contributions are immediately vested. The Company made matching 401(k) contributions in the amount of $360,000, $226,000 and $187,000 in fiscal years ended 2007, 2006 and 2005, respectively.

In addition, the Northstar Computer Forms, Inc. 401(k) Profit Sharing Plan was merged into the 401(k) Plan on February 1, 2001. The Company declared profit sharing contributions on behalf of the former employees of Northstar Computer Forms, Inc. in accordance with its original plan in the amounts of $370,000, $370,000, and $375,000 in fiscal years ended 2007, 2006, and 2005, respectively.

The pro forma results are not necessarily indicative of what would have occurred if the acquisitions had been in effect for the periods presented.

(13) Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets

Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of net assets of acquired businesses and is not amortized. Goodwill and indefinite-lived intangibles are evaluated for impairment on an annual basis, or more frequently if impairment indicators arise, using a fair-value-based test that compares the fair value of the asset to its carrying value. Fair values of reporting units are typically calculated using a factor of expected earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization. Based on this evaluation, no impairment was recorded. The Company must make assumptions regarding estimated future cash flows and other factors to determine the fair value of the respective assets in assessing the recoverability of its goodwill and other intangibles. If these estimates or the related assumptions change, the Company may be required to record impairment charges for these assets in the future.

(13) Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets-continued

Intangible assets with determinable lives are amortized on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful life. The cost of trademarks is based on fair values at the date of acquisition. Trade names with determinable lives and a net book value of $792,000 at fiscal year end 2007 are amortized on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful life (between 1 and 10 years). Trademarks with indefinite lives with a net book value of $62,260,000 at fiscal year end 2007 are evaluated for impairment on an annual basis.

The cost of purchased trade names is based on appraised values at the date of acquisition and is amortized on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful life (between 10 and 15 years) of such trade names. The Company assesses the recoverability of its definite-lived intangible assets primarily based on its current and anticipated future undiscounted cash flows.

(14) Segment Information and Geographic Information

The Company operates in two segments – the Print Segment and the Apparel Segment.

The Print Segment, which represented 56% of the Company’s consolidated net sales for fiscal year 2007, is in the business of manufacturing, designing, and selling business forms and other printed business products primarily to distributors located in the United States.

The Print Segment operates 39 manufacturing locations throughout the United States in 16 strategically located domestic states. Approximately 96% of the business products manufactured by the Print Segment are custom and semi-custom, constructed in a wide variety of sizes, colors, number of parts and quantities on an individual job basis depending upon the customers’ specifications.

The products sold include snap sets, continuous forms, laser cut sheets, tags, labels, envelopes, integrated products, jumbo rolls and pressure sensitive products in short, medium and long runs under the following labels: Ennis^®, Royal™, Block™, Specialized Printed Forms™, TBF/Avant-Garde™, 360º Custom Labels™, Enfusion™, Witt Printing™ and Calibrated Forms™. The Print Segment also sells the Adams-McClure™ brand (which provides Point of Purchase advertising for large franchise and fast food chains as well as kitting and fulfillment); the Admore brand (which provides presentation folders and document folders); Ennis Tag & Label™ (which provides tags and labels, promotional products and advertising concept products); GenForms™ (which provides short-run and long-run label production) and Northstar^® and GFS™ (which provide financial and security documents).

The second segment, the Apparel Segment, which accounted for 44% of our fiscal year 2007 consolidated net sales, consists of Alstyle Apparel, which was acquired in November 2004. This group is primarily engaged in the production and sale of activewear including t-shirts, fleece goods, and other wearables. Alstyle sales are seasonal, with sales in the first and second quarters generally being the highest. Substantially all of the Apparel Segment sales are to customers in the United States.

Corporate information is included to reconcile segment data to the consolidated financial statements and includes assets and expenses related to the Company’s corporate headquarters and other administrative costs.

Dividends	$	0.155	$	0.155	$	0.155	$	0.155

Quarter-over-Quarter (current year)

The decline in the Company’s diluted earnings per share for the quarter ended February 28, 2007 when compared to the quarter ended November 30, 2006 is primarily related to the decline in its sales during the quarter and the corresponding impact on its reported margins. The Company expects the fourth quarter to be its lowest quarter from a sales, gross profit, net earnings and earnings per share basis perspective, as this is traditionally the Apparel Segment’s lowest sales quarter.

Current Quarter Compared to Same Quarter Last Year

For the quarter ended February 28, 2007, the effective tax rate was 38.3% compared to 29.4% for the quarter ended February 28, 2006. The increase in the effective tax rate had a $1.2 million impact on net earnings, or $.05 per diluted share, for the quarter ended February 28, 2007. Without this impact the results for both quarters would have been comparable.
