INDUSTRIAL DISTRIBUTION GROUP, INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS SEPTEMBER 30, 2006 (Unaudited)
Industrial Distribution Group, Inc. (IDG or the Company), a Delaware corporation, was formed on
February 12, 1997 to create a nationwide supplier of cost-effective, Flexible Procurement
Solutions (FPS) for manufacturers and other users of maintenance, repair, operating, and
production (MROP) products. The Company conducts business in 49 states and two foreign countries,
providing expertise in the procurement, management, and application of MROP products to a wide
range of industries.
1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The accompanying unaudited interim consolidated financial statements are prepared pursuant to the
Securities and Exchange Commissions rules and regulations for reporting on Form 10-Q. Accordingly,
certain information and footnotes required by U. S. generally accepted accounting principles for
complete financial statements are not included herein. The Company believes all adjustments
necessary for a fair presentation of these interim statements have been included and are of a
normal and recurring nature.
These interim statements should be read in conjunction with the Companys financial statements and
notes thereto, included in its Annual Report on Form 10-K, for the fiscal year ended December 31,
2005.
Certain reclassifications have been made to prior year amounts to conform to the current year
presentation.
2. NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
In July 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Interpretation No. 48,
Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxesan interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109. This
Interpretation prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial
statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax
return, and provides guidance on derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting
in interim periods, disclosure, and transition. This Interpretation is effective for fiscal years
beginning after December 15, 2006. The cumulative effects, if any, of applying this Interpretation
will be recorded as an adjustment to accumulated deficit as of the beginning of the period of
adoption. The Company is currently assessing the impact of the Interpretation on its financial
statements.
In December 2004, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123R (SFAS No.
123R) Shared Based Payment, which requires companies to measure compensation cost for all
share-based payments, including employee stock options. The effective date of SFAS No. 123R was
January 1, 2006, for calendar year companies. The Company adopted SFAS No. 123R on January 1, 2006,
and the adoption did not have a material impact on the Companys financial statements. See Note 7
to these consolidated financial statements for further discussion regarding stock-based
compensation.
3. SALE OF PROPERTY
During the second quarter of 2006, the Company sold real property located in Tonawanda, New York in
a continuing effort to consolidate warehouse facilities, improve logistic efficiencies and reduce
assets. The property sold for $0.7 million, net of closing costs, resulting in a gain of $0.3
million. The gain on the sale of assets is included in the accompanying financial statements as a
reduction of selling, general and administrative expenses. There were no relocation or severance
costs associated with the sale. A sales office was leased in Amherst, New York to serve customers
in the Buffalo, New York area.
During the first quarter of 2005, the Company sold real property, located in Greensboro, North
Carolina. The property sold for $2.3 million, net of closing costs. The gain associated with this
sale was $0.4 million and is classified as a reduction of selling, general, and administrative
expenses in the accompanying financial statements. There were no relocation or severance costs
associated with this sale of property. A new location was leased in Greensboro to serve
customers in that marketplace.
4. DIVESTITURES
During the third quarter of 2005, the Company sold the net assets of its Cardinal Machinery
business unit. Assets and liabilities with a net book value of approximately $0.7 million were sold
for total consideration of $0.8 million resulting in a gain of $0.1 million which is classified as
a reduction of selling, general, and administrative expenses in the accompanying financial
statements.
Revenues for Cardinal Machinery were $1.7 million and $6.3 million for the three months and nine
months ended September 30, 2005, respectively, which represented less than 2% of total revenue in
both periods.

5. CREDIT FACILITY
In December 2000, the Company entered into a $100.0 million revolving credit facility with a five
financial institution syndicate. On July 18, 2005, the Company amended its agreement with the
existing syndicate. The agreement provides a $75.0 million credit facility with an accordion option
enabling the Company to expand the facility to $110.0 million and extends through July 18, 2010.
The agreement requires a first security interest in certain assets of the Company. The annual
commitment fee on the unused portion of the facility is 25 basis points (0.25%) of the average
daily unused portion of the available capacity, which may range from $75.0 million up to $110.0
million depending upon how much of the accordion option is used. The agreement provides that the
facility may be used for operations and acquisitions, and provides $7.5 million for swinglines and
$10.0 million for letters of credit. Amounts outstanding under the credit facility bear interest at
either the lead banks corporate rate or LIBOR, as selected by the Company from time to time, plus
applicable margins. This rate was 7.0% and 5.7% at September 30, 2006 and December 31, 2005,
respectively.
The amounts outstanding under the facility at September 30, 2006 and December 31, 2005 were $20.3
million and $12.8 million, respectively, which have been classified as long-term liabilities in the
consolidated balance sheets. Additionally, the Company had outstanding letters of credit of $1.2
million under the facility at September 30, 2006 and $1.6 million at December 31, 2005. The credit
facility contains a requirement for a fixed charge coverage ratio to be met if monthly average
excess availability under the facility falls below $15.0 million. The Company has the ability to
repurchase up to $5.0 million of its common stock during any one fiscal year under the terms of the
agreement. Covenants under the credit facility prohibit the payment of cash dividends, among
various other restrictions. The Company was in compliance with these covenants as of September 30,
2006 and December 31, 2005.
6. CAPITAL STOCK
During the respective three month periods ended September 30, 2006 and 2005, the Company issued
6,943 shares and 13,365 shares, respectively, of its common stock through its employee stock
purchase plan and issued 22,881 shares and 13,004 shares, respectively, of its common stock
pursuant to the exercise of options. For the nine month periods ended September 30, 2006 and 2005,
the Company issued 21,580 shares and 40,516 shares of its common stock through its employee stock
purchase plan and issued 250,015 shares and 54,807 shares of its common stock pursuant to the
exercise of options.
Options are included in the computation of diluted earnings per share when the options exercise
price is less than the average market price of the common stock during the period. The number of
options outstanding during the three months ended September 30, 2006 and 2005 had a dilutive effect
of 235,652 shares and 393,845 shares, respectively, to the weighted average common stock
outstanding. The number of options outstanding during the nine months ended September 30, 2006 and
2005 had a dilutive effect of 267,565 shares and 380,098 shares, respectively, to the weighted
average common shares outstanding. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2006 and
2005, options where the exercise price exceeded the average market price of the common stock
totaled 38,650 shares and 57,095 shares, respectively. Such shares were not included in the
calculation of weighted average shares outstanding because they were antidilutive.
On February 23, 2005, the Companys Board of Directors approved a program for the Company to
repurchase up to $5.0 million of its outstanding common stock over a 24-month period from the
adoption of the program. During the three months ended September 30, 2006 and 2005, the Company
repurchased 98,400 shares and 47,100 shares of its common stock, respectively, for an average price
per share of $8.83 and $9.36, respectively. During the nine months ended September 30, 2006 and
2005, the Company repurchased 259,400 shares and 101,400 shares, respectively, for an average price
per share of $8.65 and $8.86, respectively. Based on the Companys repurchases of its common stock
through September 30, 2006, the Company is authorized to repurchase an additional $1.6 million of
its outstanding shares of common stock under the current terms of the repurchase program.
7. STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION
Effective January 1, 2006, the Company adopted the fair value recognition provisions of SFAS No.
123R, using the modified prospective transition method. Accordingly, prior year amounts have not
been restated. Under this transition method, compensation cost recognized commencing on January 1,
2006 includes: (a) compensation cost for all share-based payments granted prior to, but not yet
vested as of January 1, 2006, based on the grant-date fair value estimated in accordance with the
original provisions of SFAS No. 123, and (b) compensation cost for all share-based payments granted
subsequent to January 1, 2006, based on the grant-date fair value estimated in accordance with the
provisions of SFAS No. 123R. Prior to January 1, 2006, as permitted by SFAS No. 123, the Company
accounted for share-based payments using the prospective method described in SFAS No. 148,
Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation-Transition and Disclosure. The Company uses the
Black-Scholes-Merton formula to estimate the value of stock options granted and recognizes stock
compensation costs over the explicit vesting period.
8
As the fair value recognition provisions of SFAS No. 123 and SFAS No. 123R were materially
consistent, the adoption of SFAS No. 123R did not have a significant impact on the Companys
financial position or results of operations. Prior to the adoption of SFAS No. 123R, the Company
presented all tax benefits from deductions resulting from the exercise of stock options as
operating cash flows in the Statement of Cash Flows. SFAS No. 123R requires that the portion of
benefits resulting from tax deductions in excess of recognized compensation (the excess tax
benefits) be presented as financing cash flows. The excess tax benefits were approximately $0.4
million for the nine month period ended September 30, 2006, and would have been presented as an
operating cash flow prior to the adoption of SFAS 123R. During the three and nine months ended
September 30, 2006, the Company recorded $0.2 million and $0.5 million, respectively, in
compensation expense related to share-based payment awards.
The fair value of each option grant is estimated on the date of grant using the
Black-Scholes-Merton option-pricing model with the following weighted average assumptions:

The Black-Scholes-Merton option-pricing model was developed for use in estimating the fair value of
traded options, which have no vesting restrictions and are fully transferable. In addition, option
valuation models require the input of highly subjective assumptions including the expected stock
price volatility. Because the Companys employee stock options have characteristics significantly
different from those of traded options, and because changes in the subjective input assumptions can
materially affect the fair value estimate, in managements opinion, the existing models do not
necessarily provide a reliable single measure of the fair value of the Companys employee stock
options.
Expected volatilities are based on the historical volatility of our stock. We believe that
historical volatility is the best indicator of future volatility. We also use historical data to
estimate the term options are expected to be outstanding and to estimate forfeitures of options
granted. The risk-free rate for the expected life of the option is based on the U.S. Treasury yield
in effect at the time of grant with a term approximating the expected option life.
The weighted average grant-date fair value of options granted during the three months ended
September 30, 2006 was $4.72 and none were granted in the prior year quarter. The weighted average
grant-date fair value of options granted during the nine months ended September 30, 2006 and 2005
was $4.59 and $5.05, respectively. The total intrinsic value of options exercised during the three
months ended September 30, 2006 and 2005 was $0.1 million for each period. The total
intrinsic value of options exercised during the nine months ended September 30, 2006 and 2005 was
$1.4 million and $0.3 million, respectively. The total weighted average grant-date fair value of
options exercised during the quarters ended September 30, 2006 and 2005 was $3.46 and $1.39,
respectively. The total weighted average grant-date fair value of options exercised during the nine
months ended September 30, 2006 and 2005 was $2.18 and $2.10, respectively. As of September 30,
2006, unrecognized compensation cost related to unvested stock option awards totaled $0.3 million
and is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 1.82 years.
The Company may issue stock options and restricted stock under its stock incentive plan, management
incentive plan and non-shareholder approved equity arrangements. Under all plans, stock options
expire ten years from the date of grant and vest ratably over three-to-four year periods. Under all
plans, restricted stock vests (ceases to be subject to forfeiture) on the third anniversary of the
date of grant.
The stock incentive plan was adopted to provide key employees, officers, and directors an
opportunity to own common stock of the Company and to provide incentives for such persons to
promote the financial success of the Company. Awards under the stock incentive plan may be
structured in a variety of ways, including incentive and nonqualified stock options, and shares of
common stock subject to terms and conditions set by the Board of Directors (restricted stock
awards). Incentive stock options may be granted only to full-time employees (including officers)
of the Company and any subsidiaries. Nonqualified options, restricted stock awards, and other
permitted forms of awards may be granted to any person employed by or performing services for the
Company, including directors. The stock incentive plan provides for the issuance of an aggregate
number of shares of common stock equal to 15% of the total issued and outstanding shares as of the
date any award is granted; provided, that the number of shares available for grant as incentive stock options
9
under the plan shall not exceed an aggregate of 1,000,000 shares. The Company currently has 231,160
shares available for issuance under the stock incentive plan.
Under the management incentive plan, management may be awarded shares of stock or restricted stock
based on attaining certain performance goals. The Company issued shares in 2006 for 2005
performance based on the terms of the management incentive plan. A maximum of 250,000 shares of
common stock may be issued at fair market value under this fixed plan. The Company has issued
215,690 shares under the management incentive plan as of September 30, 2006.

As of September 30, 2006, unrecognized compensation cost related to unvested restricted stock
awards totaled $0.9 million and is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 1.81
years. No shares vested during the nine month period ended September 30, 2006.
8. DEFERRED TAXES
The Companys net deferred tax assets totaled approximately $5.6 million at September 30, 2006 and
$5.8 million at December 31, 2005, and are subject to periodic recoverability assessments. The
realization of the Companys deferred tax assets is principally dependent upon the Company being
able to generate sufficient future taxable income in certain tax jurisdictions. Factors used to
assess the likelihood of realization are the Companys forecast of future taxable income (which is
based upon estimates and assumptions) and available tax planning strategies that could be
implemented to realize the net deferred tax assets.
On the basis of the Companys operating results and projections for future taxable income,
management believes it is more likely than not that future operations will generate sufficient
taxable income to realize the net deferred tax assets. The valuation allowance for net deferred tax
assets was $0.5 million as of September 30, 2006 and $0.6 million as of December 31, 2005. The
valuation allowance for deferred tax assets at September 30, 2006 is primarily for state net
operating loss carryforwards for which the Company believes sufficient taxable income will not be
realized prior to expiration.
9. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
The Company is subject to various claims and legal actions, which arise in the ordinary course of
business. The Company has and will continue to vigorously defend itself in these matters. The
Company believes, based upon information available at this time, that the
10
ultimate resolution of such matters will not have a material adverse effect on the Companys
financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
ITEM 2. MANAGEMENTS DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The following discussion is based upon our historical financial results. In this discussion, most
percentages and dollar amounts have been rounded to aid presentation; as a result, all such figures
are approximations. References to such approximations have generally been omitted.
This discussion may contain certain forward-looking statements concerning our operations,
performance and financial condition, including, in particular, the likelihood of our success in
developing and expanding our business. These statements are based upon a number of assumptions and
estimates that are inherently subject to significant uncertainties and contingencies, many of which
are beyond our control. Actual results may differ materially from those expressed or implied by
such forward-looking statements. Factors that could cause actual results to differ include, but are
not limited to: our ability to compete successfully in the highly competitive and diverse MROP
market, our ability to renew profitable contracts, the availability of key personnel for employment
by us; our reliance on the expertise of our senior management; our reliance on regional information
systems during the implementation of our IT system conversion; the interruption of business due to
our IT system conversion and related consolidation efforts; the uncertainty of customers demand
for our products and services; our relationships with and dependence upon third-party suppliers and
manufacturers; discontinuance of our distribution rights; failure to successfully implement
efficiency improvements; and other factors discussed in more detail under Item 1A-Risk Factors in
our Annual Report on Form 10-K for fiscal year 2005.
Our discussions below in this Item 2 are based upon the more detailed discussions about our
business, operations and financial condition included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the
fiscal year ended December 31, 2005, under Item 7. Our discussions here focus on our results during
or as of the three-month and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2006, and the comparable
periods of 2005 and, to the extent applicable, any material changes from the information discussed
in that Form 10-K or other important intervening developments or information since that time. These
discussions should be read in conjunction with that Form 10-K for more detailed and background
information.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Implementation of Centralized Back Office Computer System
As previously reported with respect to the second quarter of 2006, we experienced (and resolved)
certain issues with our Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) processes in conjunction with the phased
conversion of our IT system to Infors SX.enterprise which temporarily disrupted the
receipt of automated orders from certain customers during the second quarter. The temporary
disruption in receipt of such automated orders reduced sales for the second quarter by an estimated
$2.8 million to $3.2 million. During the third quarter, we experienced a delay in cash collections
from certain customers as a result of the resolution of issues we encountered during the second
quarter. We will substantially complete our remaining IT system conversion activities in the
fourth quarter of 2006.

Net sales
Net sales increased $3.8 million or 2.8% to $139.0 million for the three months ended September 30,
2006, from $135.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2005. On a days sales basis,
revenue increased 4.4% as there was one fewer selling day this quarter. FPS revenues comprised
60.3% of total revenue for the 2006 quarter as compared to 56.5% in the comparable 2005 quarter.
Total FPS revenue grew $7.5 million or 9.8% to $83.8 million as compared to $76.3 million in the
prior year quarter. As of September 30, 2006, the total number of FPS sites under management was
339, of which 102 were storeroom management sites, representing a net increase of six storeroom
management sites since September 30, 2005. The growth in FPS revenue was primarily attributable to
new customer growth along with $2.7 million of one-time inventory sales during the current quarter.
General MROP revenue decreased $3.7 million or 6.3% to $55.2 million for the three months ended
September 30, 2006, from $58.9 million for the same period in 2005. Approximately 45% of that
decline was attributable to the disposition of our former Cardinal Machinery business unit
(Cardinal) in September 2005, which had provided $1.7 million in General MROP revenue in the
third quarter of 2005. The remaining $2.0 million decline reflects reduced purchase levels by
certain existing customers, primarily related to the automotive and recreational vehicle sectors as
rising fuel prices had an unfavorable impact on the business levels of these customers. In
addition, we have experienced decreased production at our customers in the manufactured housing and
commercial marine industries.
Cost of Sales
Cost of sales increased $2.1 million or 2.0% to $107.6 million for the three months ended September
30, 2006, from $105.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2005. As a percentage of net
sales, however, cost of sales decreased to 77.4% for the three months ended September 30, 2006,
from 78.0% in the comparable 2005 period. A portion of the decrease in cost of sales as a
percentage of net sales was due to more profitable FPS customer arrangements, primarily in
personnel billings including administrative and implementation fees. In addition, increased
purchase discounts and a reduction in inventory reserves had a favorable impact of $0.5 million.
Inventory reserve levels have declined as a result of the IT system conversion and the facility
rationalization program as we now have the ability to source inventory from more distribution
centers company-wide.
Selling, General and Administrative Expenses
Selling, general and administrative expenses increased $0.6 million or 2.1% to $27.9 million for
the three months ended September 30, 2006, from $27.3 million for the three months ended September
30, 2005. As a percentage of net sales, however, total selling, general and administrative expenses
decreased slightly to 20.1% for the third quarter of 2006 from 20.2% in the prior year. The
increase in total selling, general and administrative expenses was primarily due to our higher
level of sales activities and reflects (i) an increase in salaries and benefits expense of $0.7
million, (ii) travel and entertainment increases of $0.4 million due to the IT system
implementation and increased sales volume, and (iii) increased freight charges of $0.3 million due
to rising fuel prices and increased sales volume. It also reflects the effect of recording a
non-recurring gain of $0.1 million on the sale of Cardinal in the prior year quarter. Partially
offsetting these amounts were the elimination of $0.7 million of expense that had been associated
with Cardinal in the prior year quarter and a reduction of $0.2 million in Sarbanes-Oxley related
fees incurred in the current year quarter relative to the comparable quarter in the prior year.
12
Operating Income
Operating income was $3.5 million, or 2.5% of sales, for the three months ended September 30, 2006,
as compared to $2.4 million, or 1.8% of sales, for the three months ended September 30, 2005. Sales
growth and a reduction in cost of sales as a percentage of sales coupled with a favorable
percentage of operating expense resulted in the favorable increase in operating margin.
Interest Expense
As compared to the prior year quarter, we reduced our quarterly average debt outstanding under our
Credit Facility from $20.7 million to $20.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2006,
a 1.6% reduction. Interest expense was consistent with the prior year quarter as the reduction in
borrowings was offset by a 2.2 percentage point increase in the average quarterly interest rate to
7.6% from 5.4% as a result of higher LIBOR rates.
Provision for Income Taxes
The provision for income taxes increased $0.4 million, to a provision of $1.3 million for the three
months ended September 30, 2006, compared to $0.9 million for the three months ended September 30,
2005. Our effective tax rate was 42.1% as compared to 44.4% due to a decrease in non-deductible
items as a percentage of pre-tax income.

Net Sales
For the nine months ended September 30, 2006, net sales increased by $7.5 million or 1.8% to $416.3
million from $408.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2005. Total FPS revenue grew
$17.8 million or 7.9% from $227.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2005 to $244.8
million in the current year, despite an estimated $1.4 to $1.6 million reduction in revenue during
the second quarter as a result of disruptions related to our IT system conversion. The increase in
FPS revenue was driven by the implementation of six (net) new storeroom management sites since the
prior year, in addition to increased production and increased market share at existing sites. At
September 30, 2006, we had 339 total FPS sites as compared to 335 total FPS sites at September 30,
2005. There was a decrease in our General MROP revenue of $10.3 million or 5.7% to $171.5 million
from $181.8 million in the prior period. Approximately 60% of the decline was attributable to the
disposition of Cardinal in September 2005, which had provided $6.3 million in revenue for the nine
months ended September 30, 2005. The remaining $4.0 million decline was primarily due to an
estimated $1.4 million to $1.6 million reduction in sales volume during the second quarter of 2006
related to the IT system conversion issues. In addition, our customers in the automotive,
manufactured housing, recreational vehicle and commercial marine industries have experienced
reduced levels of production.
Cost of Sales
Cost of sales for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 increased $5.2 million or 1.6% to $325.5
million from $320.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2005. Cost of sales, as a
percentage of net sales, reflected a decrease from 78.4% for the nine months ended September 30,
2005 to 78.2% for 2006. The decline in cost of sales as a percentage of net sales was partly due to
more
13
profitable FPS arrangements, in addition to better management and renegotiation of certain existing
customers. In addition, the favorable impact from consolidating facilities and the benefits of
having more of our operations on one operating platform, as a result of IT system conversion, has
enhanced our inventory management and reduced the level of inventory reserve required. Our new
customer volume was primarily in FPS arrangements, which resulted in increased personnel billings
including administrative and implementation fees during the current year and contributed to the
increase in overall total cost of sales.
Selling, General and Administrative Expenses
Selling, general and administrative expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 increased
$0.8 million or 1.0% to $81.5 million as compared to $80.7 million for the nine months ended
September 30, 2005. There was a net increase in salaries and benefits expense of $1.3 million,
which reflects the offsetting effects of a $1.5 million increase in salaries expense and a decrease
of $0.2 million due to a change in healthcare providers. The increase in salaries expense was due
to additional personnel associated with the implementation of six (net) new storeroom management sites
since the prior year, coupled with an increase in overtime and temporary labor associated with the
IT system conversion. In combination with this increase in headcount, we had an increase of $0.5
million in travel and entertainment expense in the current year, which also reflects our higher
level of sales activities during the 2006 period. The remainder of the increase was due to: (i) an
increase of $0.5 million in bad debt expense, net of recoveries, due to the combination of added
expense of $0.4 million in 2006 and a benefit of $0.1 million in the prior year; (ii) a $0.5
million increase in freight-out and delivery expense; and (iii) a net gain on the sale of property
of $0.3 million as compared to a net gain of $0.5 million recorded in the prior year. These factors
more than offset the elimination of $2.0 million of expense that was associated with Cardinal sold
in the prior year third quarter. There was also a $0.2 million reduction of expenses
incurred for Sarbanes-Oxley compliance in the current year. As a percentage of net sales, total
selling, general and administrative expenses improved to 19.6% for the nine months ended September
30, 2006 from 19.7% for the same period in the prior year.
Operating Income
Operating income increased $1.5 million or 18.9% to $9.3 million, 2.2% of sales, for the nine
months ended September 30, 2006 from $7.8 million, or 1.9% of sales, for the nine months ended
September 30, 2005. The improvement in our operating income for the current nine-month period
reflects the same favorable convergence of factors described above for the current quarter that
is, sales growth increased at a higher rate than cost of sales and operating expenses, resulting in
improved profitability.
Interest Expense
As compared to September 30, 2005, we reduced our 2006 year-to-date average debt outstanding under
our Credit Facility from $24.7 million to $18.1 million, a 26.6% reduction. Interest expense
decreased from $1.2 million to $1.0 million, a $0.2 million or 20.0% reduction due to the lower
average debt balance, despite an increase in the year-to-date average interest rate to 6.9% as of
September 30, 2006, which was an increase of 1.6 percentage points over the prior year nine month
average.
Provision for Income Taxes
Our effective tax rate increased to 41.6% in 2006 from 40.5% in 2005 due to an increase in
non-deductible items as a percentage of pre-tax income. The rate increase accounts for 12.1% of the
$0.8 million of the increase in tax; the remainder was attributable to increased pre-tax income.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Capital Availability and Requirements
At September 30, 2006, our total working capital was $88.9 million, which included $0.3 million in
cash and cash equivalents. We had an aggregate of $75.0 million of borrowing capacity under our
Credit Facility. Based upon our current asset base (which serves as our collateral under the Credit
Facility) and outstanding borrowings under the Credit Facility, we had borrowing availability under
the Credit Facility of $53.5 million. We are in compliance with all applicable financial covenants
under the Credit Facility.
Analysis of Cash Flows
Net cash (used in) provided by operating activities was ($6.7 million) and $3.3 million for the
nine months ended September 30, 2006 and 2005, respectively. As compared to the prior year, the
increase in cash used in operations was primarily due to EDI billing process issues resulting from
our IT system conversion, which delayed our receipt of payments from several large customers. We
also used more cash in the current period to fund a higher level of inventory relating to an
increase in purchases in connection with new FPS site implementations.
14
Net cash (used in) provided by investing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2006
and 2005 was ($0.3 million) and $2.8 million, respectively. In the current year, cash was used to
make capital expenditures in connection with the first phase of the IT system conversion. In
addition, $0.7 million was received from the sale of property during the second quarter of 2006. In
the prior year, cash was provided by investing activities from the sale of property and the
divestiture of Cardinal, which resulted in combined proceeds of $3.1 million which was partially
offset by $0.2 million of purchases of property and equipment.
Net cash provided by (used in) financing activities was $6.6 million and ($8.2 million) for the
nine months ended September 30, 2006 and 2005, respectively. Cash was provided primarily by net
borrowings under our Credit Facility of $7.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2006
and used in the prior year period to make repayments of $7.2 million. During the current year, we
also used $2.2 million to repurchase 259,400 shares of common stock pursuant to our stock
repurchase plan, as compared to $0.9 million used to repurchase 101,400 shares during the first
nine months of 2005.
CERTAIN ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ESTIMATES
Our consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted
accounting principles. The preparation of these financial statements requires our management to
make estimates and assumptions that affect: the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the
date of the financial statements; the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date
of the financial statements; and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting
period. Our management regularly evaluates its estimates and assumptions. These estimates and
assumptions are based on historical experience and on various other factors that are believed to be
reasonable under the circumstances and form the basis for making judgments about the carrying
values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results
may differ from these estimates under different conditions, and these differences may be material.
While our significant accounting policies are described in Note 2 Summary of Significant
Accounting Policies in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements of our Annual Report on Form
10-K for fiscal 2005, we believe that the following accounting policies and estimates involve a
higher degree of complexity and warrant specific description in this update to the Form 10-K.
Allowance for Doubtful Accounts Methodology
We have established an allowance for doubtful accounts based on our collection experience and an
assessment of the collectability of specific accounts. We evaluate the collectability of accounts
receivable based on a combination of factors. Initially, we estimate an allowance for doubtful
accounts as a percentage of accounts receivable based on historical collections experience. This
initial estimate is periodically adjusted when we become aware of a specific customers inability
to meet its financial obligations (e.g., bankruptcy filing) or as a result of changes in the
overall aging of accounts receivable. We do not believe our estimate of the allowance for doubtful
accounts is likely to be adversely affected by any individual customer or group of customers, since
our customers are geographically and functionally dispersed, and none are individually significant.
The table below depicts our allowance for doubtful accounts, bad debt expense incurred or
reductions thereto, and write-offs or recoveries during each quarter of 2006 and 2005. Write-offs
of accounts receivable against our reserves have no effect on either our results of operations or
cash flows, because they are not expense items; only expense items impact our earnings.

Inventories Slow Moving and Obsolescence
In connection with certain contracts, we maintain special inventories for specific customers
needs. In certain contracts, the customers are required to purchase the special inventory at the
point in time the inventory reaches a certain age. However, for other customer
15
relationships and inventories, we are not protected by our customer from the risk of inventory
obsolescence. In such cases, we rely on available return privileges with vendors, if any.
Therefore, in determining the net realizable value of inventories, we identify slow moving or
obsolete inventories that (i) are not protected by our customer agreements from risk of loss, and
(ii) are not eligible for return under various vendor return programs. Based upon these factors, we
estimate the net realizable value of inventories and record any necessary adjustments as a charge
to cost of sales. If our inventory return privileges were discontinued in the future, or if
customers did not honor the provisions of certain contracts that protect us from inventory losses,
our risk of loss associated with obsolete or slow moving inventories would increase. The table
below depicts our reserve for slow moving and obsolete inventory, incurred or recovered, and
write-offs during each quarter of 2006 and 2005. Write-offs of inventory against our reserves have
no effect on either our results of operations or cash flows, because they are not expense items;
only expense items impact our earnings.

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
We periodically evaluate property and equipment for potential impairment indicators. Our judgments
regarding the existence of impairment indicators are based on legal factors, market conditions, and
operational performance. Future events could cause us to conclude that impairment indicators exist
and that assets associated with a particular operation are impaired. Evaluating the impairment also
requires us to estimate future operating results and cash flows, which also requires judgment by
management. Any resulting impairment loss could have a material adverse impact on our financial
condition and results of operations.
Deferred Income Tax Assets
We have net deferred tax assets, which are subject to periodic recoverability assessments. The
factors used to assess the likelihood of realization of these net deferred tax assets are the
reversal of taxable temporary differences, our forecast of future taxable income, which is based
upon estimates and assumptions, and available tax planning strategies that could be implemented to
realize the net deferred tax assets. On the basis of our operating results and projections for
future taxable income, we believe it is more likely than not that our future operations will
generate sufficient taxable income to realize our net deferred tax assets. If these estimates and
related assumptions change in the future, we may be required to record an additional valuation
allowance against our deferred tax assets resulting in additional income tax expense in our
consolidated statements of income. We evaluate the realizability and appropriateness of our
deferred tax assets and liabilities quarterly and assess the need for any valuation allowance
against deferred tax assets. In the future, if it becomes more likely than not that we will be able
to utilize certain deferred tax benefits that are presently reserved with a valuation allowance, we
may adjust the valuation allowance resulting in a reduction in income tax expense. In addition, if
we experience a decline in earnings in the future, we may have to increase the valuation allowance.
Self Insurance and Related Reserves
We are self-insured for certain losses relating to group health, workers compensation, and
casualty losses, subject to an aggregate stop loss limit of $1.3 million. We utilize third party
administrators to process and administer all related claims. We accrue an estimate for incurred but
not reported claims and related expenses based upon historical experience. The accrual for incurred
but not reported claims relating to group health, workers compensation, and casualty losses
totaled approximately $1.2 million at September 30, 2006 and $1.5 million at December 31, 2005. The
accuracy of our accrual for incurred but not reported claims is entirely dependent on future events
that are subject to change. Because we are self-insured, an increase in the volume (frequency) or
amount (severity) of claims in the future may cause us to record additional expense that was not
estimable at September 30, 2006. We are not aware of any increasing frequency or severity of
individual claims.
16
ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
We have no material changes to the disclosure on this matter made in the Companys Annual Report on
Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2005.
ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
An evaluation was performed under the supervision and with the participation of our management,
including our President and Chief Executive Officer and our Executive Vice President and Chief
Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and
procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934)
as of the end of the period covered by this report. No system of controls, no matter how well
designed and operated, can provide absolute assurance that the objectives of the system of controls
are met, and no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that the system of controls
has operated effectively in all cases. Our system of disclosure controls and procedures, however,
is designed to provide reasonable assurance that the objectives of disclosure controls and
procedures are met.
Based on the evaluation discussed above, our President and Chief Executive Officer and our
Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that our disclosure controls
and procedures were effective as of the end of the period covered by this report to provide
reasonable assurance that the objectives of the disclosure controls and procedures are met.
No change occurred in the Companys internal controls concerning financial reporting during the
most recent fiscal quarter ended September 30, 2006 that has materially affected, or is reasonably
likely to materially affect, the Companys internal controls over financial reporting.
