NBC Acquisition Corp. Reports Record Results

Lincoln, Neb., June 17, 2010 — NBC Acquisition Corp., the parent company of Nebraska Book Company Inc., today announced results for its fiscal year ended March 31, 2010. For the 2010 fiscal year, consolidated Adjusted EBITDA (Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation, Amortization, Goodwill Impairment and Loss on Early Extinguishment of Debt) were a record $73.4 million compared to $71.0 million in fiscal 2009, an increase of $2.4 million. After adding back non-cash charges related to the Company’s stock compensation plans and certain other non-recurring costs in both years, Adjusted EBITDA was $74.9 million in fiscal 2010 compared to $73.7 million in fiscal 2009. Consolidated revenues were $605.5 million in fiscal 2010, down $5.2 million from $610.7 million in fiscal year 2009.

Mark Oppegard, Chief Executive Officer, Nebraska Book Company said, “We are pleased with our fiscal 2010 results as we continue to grow our EBITDA-based bottom line even in the face of a difficult general economy. We feel like we are successfully adjusting our business to adapt to a more competitive industry and will continue to work towards furthering the long history of growth for Nebraska Book Company.”

The Company’s revenues included $472.5 million from the College Bookstore division (up slightly from the prior year), $140.6 million from the Textbook division (down 4.5%), and $35.5 million from the Complementary Services division (up 3.6%). Such revenues include inter-company revenues of $43.1 million. Revenues in the College Bookstore division increased slightly as revenue from new acquisitions offset the impact of lower same store sales which decreased 2.6%. This same store sales decrease includes the impact of implementing a rental program in many of the Company’s stores in its fiscal 4^th quarter. Revenues in the Textbook division decreased primarily due to a decrease in units sold. Revenues in the Complementary Services division were up primarily due to increases in the Company’s distance education and e-commerce services businesses.

Consolidated gross profit was $235.3 million for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2010 compared to $239.3 million in the previous fiscal year. Gross margin declined slightly from 39.2% for fiscal 2009 to 38.9% for fiscal 2010. The decrease was primarily driven by lower gross margins in the Textbook division, offset partially by smaller increases in gross margins in the College Bookstore and Complementary Services businesses.

Total operating expenses were $181.2 million in fiscal 2010 compared to $187.3 million in fiscal 2009 (excluding the goodwill impairment charge), a decrease of $6.1 million or 3.2%. The decrease in operating expenses was primarily due to a $10.3 million decrease in personnel costs and a $1.6 million decrease in advertising and travel expenses offset partially by an increase of $4.2 million in commission expense, primarily associated with sales on third party websites, and an increase of $1.8 million in rent expense.

Net interest expense was $49.2 million, an increase of $8.0 million compared to the prior fiscal year. The increase was primarily due to additional interest expense in connection with the refinancing of certain of the Company’s outstanding debt in October 2009 and increased amortization of debt issue costs. In connection with that refinancing, the Company also recognized a $3.1 million loss on early extinguishment of debt. That loss represents the non-cash charge to write off unamortized debt issue costs on the debt extinguished in the October 2009 refinancing transaction.

EBITDA (excluding corporate costs) for each of the Company’s operating divisions in fiscal 2010 was $45.7 million in the College Bookstore division, an increase of $1.7 million or 3.8% compared to the prior fiscal year, $37.1 million in the Textbook division, a decrease of $2.0 million or 5.0% compared to the prior fiscal year, and $2.3 million in the Complementary Services division, an increase of $1.0 million compared to the prior fiscal year. The increase in the College Bookstore division was primarily due to cost reduction efforts initiated early in fiscal 2010. The decrease in the Textbook division was primarily due to lower revenues caused by lower unit sales offset partially by cost reduction efforts. The increase in the Complementary Services division was primarily due to improved results in the distance education and e-commerce services businesses.

At March 31, 2010, the Company was operating 280 locations around the country. The Company indicated that, during its 4^th fiscal quarter and subsequent to year-end, it agreed to acquire or contract manage bookstores at 13 additional colleges and universities across the country with full year revenues expected to be approximately $30 million. The Company also indicated that, during its 4^th fiscal quarter and subsequent to year end, it has closed, lost or resigned from operating 5 bookstores, with revenues of approximately $2.7 million in fiscal 2010.

As the Company is highly-leveraged and its equity is not publicly-traded, it believes that the non-GAAP measures EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are useful in evaluating its results and provide additional information for determining its ability to meet debt service requirements. The Company’s Senior Secured Notes, Senior Subordinated Notes, Senior Discount Notes, and ABL Credit Agreement also utilize EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA, as defined in those agreements, for certain financial covenants. Due to the importance of EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA to its equity and debt holders, the Company’s chief operating decision makers and other members of management use EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA to measure the Company’s overall performance, to assist in resource allocation decision-making, to develop budget goals, to determine incentive compensation goals and payments, and to manage other expenditures among other uses. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA do not represent and should not be considered as alternatives to net cash flows from operating activities or net income as determined by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP). Furthermore, EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA do not necessarily indicate whether cash flows will be sufficient for cash requirements, nor are they a measure of Company profitability. The Company believes EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA when viewed with both its GAAP results and the reconciliations to operating cash flows and net income provide a more complete understanding of its business than otherwise could be obtained absent this disclosure. Items excluded from EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA, such as interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, goodwill impairment and loss on early extinguishment of debt, are significant components in understanding and assessing the Company’s financial performance. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA measures presented here may not be comparable to similarly titled measures presented by other companies.

The following presentation reconciles net income (loss), which the Company believes to be the closest GAAP performance measure, to EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA and reconciles EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA to net cash flows from operating activities, which the Company believes to be the closest GAAP liquidity measure, and also sets forth net cash flows from investing and financing activities:
