                                ITEM 1. BUSINESS.

    References in this Annual Report on Form 10-K to the "Company" refer to NBC
Acquisition Corp., the term "NBC" refers to Nebraska Book Company, Inc., a
wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, and the terms "we," "our," "ours," and
"us" refer collectively to the Company and its subsidiaries, including NBC,
except where otherwise indicated.

    The Company was formed for the purpose of acquiring all of the outstanding
capital stock of NBC, effective September 1, 1995. The Company does not conduct
significant activities apart from its investment in NBC. Operational matters
discussed in this report, including the acquisition of college bookstores and
other related businesses, refer to operations of NBC.

    On March 4, 2004, Weston Presidio (Weston Presidio Capital III, L.P., Weston
Presidio Capital IV, L.P., WPC Entrepreneur Fund, L.P., and WPC Entrepreneur
Fund II, L.P.) gained a controlling interest in the Company through (i) the
formation of two new corporations, NBC Holdings Corp. and New NBC Acquisition
Corp.; (ii) a $28.2 million equity investment by Weston Presidio in NBC Holdings
Corp., funds for which were ultimately paid to the Company in the form of a
capital contribution; (iii) Weston Presidio's purchase of 36,455 shares of the
Company's common stock directly from its holders; (iv) the cancellation of
870,285 shares of the Company's common stock upon payment by the Company of
merger consideration of $180.4 million to the shareholders of record for such
shares; (v) the exchange of 397,711 shares of the Company's common stock for
512,799 shares of New NBC Acquisition Corp. capital stock in the merger of the
two entities with the Company as the surviving entity; and (vi) the exchange of
512,799 shares of the Company's common stock by Weston Presidio and current and
former members of NBC management for a like number of shares of NBC Holdings
Corp. capital stock. Payment of the $180.4 million of merger consideration was
funded through proceeds from the $28.2 million capital contribution, available
cash, and proceeds from $405.0 million in new debt financing, of which $261.0
million was utilized to retire certain debt instruments outstanding at March 4,
2004 or to place funds in escrow for untendered debt instruments called for
redemption on March 4, 2004 and redeemed on April 3, 2004. For ease of
presentation, financial information presented in the Annual Report on Form 10-K
reflects this transaction as if it had occurred on March 1, 2004. We have
determined that no material transactions occurred during the period from March
1, 2004 through March 4, 2004. As a result of this transaction, financial
information for periods ending prior to March 1, 2004 is presented as the
"Predecessor," while financial information for periods after March 1, 2004 is
presented as the "Successor." Throughout this Annual Report, we generally refer
to all of the steps comprising this transaction as the "March 4, 2004
Transaction."

    On April 27, 2004, we filed Registration Statements on Form S-4 with the
Securities and Exchange Commission for purposes of registering debt securities
to be issued in exchange for the Senior Subordinated Notes and Senior Discount
Notes arising out of the March 4, 2004 Transaction. The Securities and Exchange
Commission declared such Registration Statements effective on May 7, 2004. All
notes were tendered in the offers to exchange that were completed on June 8,
2004.

GENERAL

    As of March 31, 2007, we operated 244 bookstores on or adjacent to college
campuses through which we sell a variety of new and used textbooks and general
merchandise. In addition, we are one of the largest wholesale distributors of
used college textbooks in North America, offering over 119,000 textbook titles
and selling more than 7.0 million books annually, primarily to campuses located
in the United States. We are also a leading provider of distance education
materials to students in nontraditional courses, which include correspondence
and corporate education courses. Furthermore, we provide the college bookstore
industry with a variety of services including proprietary information and
E-commerce systems, in-store promotions, buying programs, and marketing
services. With origins dating to 1915 as a single bookstore operation, we have
built a consistent reputation for excellence in order fulfillment, shipping
performance and customer service.

    We entered the wholesale used textbook market following World War II, when
the supply of new textbooks could not meet the demand created by the return of
ex-GI students. In 1964, we became a national, rather than regional, wholesaler
of used textbooks as a result of our purchase of The College Book Company of
California. During the 1970's we continued our focus on the wholesale business.
However, realizing the synergies that exist between wholesale operations and
college bookstore operations, in the 1980's we expanded our efforts in the
college bookstore market to primarily operate bookstores on or near larger
campuses, typically where the institution-owned college bookstore was
contract-managed by a competitor or where we did not have a significant
wholesale presence. In the last several fiscal years we have revised our college
bookstore strategy to expand our efforts in the contract-management of
institutional bookstores - primarily those that have already been served by
another company offering contract-management services. Today, we service the
college bookstore industry through our Bookstore, Textbook, and Complementary
Services Divisions.

    BOOKSTORE DIVISION. College bookstores are a primary outlet for sales of new
and used textbooks to students. In addition, we sell a variety of other
merchandise including apparel, general books, sundries, and gift items. As of
March 31, 2007, we operated 244 college bookstores on or adjacent to college
campuses. Of these 244 bookstores, 126 were leased from the educational
institution that they served (also referred to as contract-managed). On May 1,
2006, we acquired 101 college bookstore locations, 98 of which were
contract-managed, through the acquisition of all of the outstanding stock of
College Book Stores of America, Inc. ("CBA"). CBA began providing
contract-management services to small to medium-sized colleges and universities
nationwide in 1984, and prior to the acquisition had and now continues to
maintain one of the longest tenured management teams in the college bookstore
industry. Our college bookstores are located at college campuses of all sizes,
including some of the nation's largest campuses, such as: Miami-Dade College;
Ohio State University; Arizona State University; University of Florida; Michigan
State University; Texas A&M University; University of Central Florida;
Pennsylvania State University; University of Michigan; Florida State University;
and University of Arizona. In addition to generating profits, our Bookstore
Division provides an exclusive source of used textbooks for sale across our
wholesale distribution network.

    TEXTBOOK DIVISION. We are one of the largest wholesale distributors of used
college textbooks in North America. Our Textbook Division consists primarily of
selling used textbooks to college bookstores, buying them back from students or
college bookstores at the end of each school semester and then reselling them to
college bookstores. We purchase used textbooks from and resell them to college
bookstores at college campuses of all sizes, including many of the nation's
largest campuses, such as: University of Minnesota; University of Texas;
University of Illinois; University of Washington; Indiana University; and San
Diego State University. Historically, Textbook Division sales have been
determined primarily by the amount of used textbooks that we could purchase.
This occurs because the demand for used textbooks has consistently outpaced
supply. Our strong relationships with the management of college bookstores
nationwide have provided important access to valuable market information
regarding the campus-by-campus supply and demand of textbooks, as well as an
ability to procure large quantities of a wide variety of textbooks. We provide
an internally-developed BUYER'S GUIDE to our Textbook Division customers. This
guide lists details such as author, new copy retail price, and our repurchase
price for over 52,000 textbook titles.

    COMPLEMENTARY SERVICES DIVISION. With our acquisition of Specialty Books,
Inc. ("Specialty Books") in May 1997, we entered the distance education market,
which consists of providing education materials to students in private high
schools, nontraditional college and other courses (such as correspondence
courses, continuing and corporate education courses and courses offered through
electronic media such as the Internet). We believe the fragmented distance
education market represents an opportunity for us to leverage our order
fulfillment and distribution expertise in a rapidly growing sector.

    Other services offered to college bookstores include the sale of computer
hardware and software, such as our turnkey bookstore management software, and
related maintenance contracts. We have installed our proprietary total store
management system at approximately 890 college bookstore locations, and we have
an installed base of approximately 170 college bookstore locations for our
textbook management control systems. In total, including our own bookstores,
almost 1,060 college bookstore locations utilize our software products. We also
have a leading E-commerce platform for college bookstores with over 480 stores
licensing the technology via CampusHub. We also provide the college bookstore
industry with buying programs and marketing and store design services.

    On July 1, 2003, we acquired all of the outstanding shares of common stock
of TheCampusHub.com, Inc. ("CampusHub"), an entity affiliated with us through
common ownership. CampusHub is no longer separately incorporated and is instead
accounted for as a division within our Complementary Services Division segment.
CampusHub provides college bookstores with a way to sell in-store inventory and
virtual brand name merchandise over the Internet utilizing technology originally
developed by us.

    In January 1998, we acquired Connect 2 One (formerly Collegiate Stores
Corporation), a centralized buying service for over 720 college bookstores
across the United States. Through the enhanced purchasing power of such a large
group of bookstores, participating bookstores are able to purchase certain
general merchandise at lower prices than those that would be paid by the stores
individually. Bookstores participating in Connect 2 One's ("C2O") programs also
provide us with another potential source of used textbooks.


                                       4
<PAGE>

    We also provide a consulting and store design program to assist college
bookstores in store presentation and layout. During fiscal year 2002, we
introduced a marketing services program to leverage our distribution channels.
Marketing services offered by us enable national vendors to reach college
students through in-store kiosks, prepackaged freshman mailers, coupon books,
e-mail promotions and in-store displays.

INDUSTRY SEGMENT FINANCIAL INFORMATION

    Revenue, operating profit or loss, and identifiable assets attributable to
each of our reportable segments are disclosed in the notes to the consolidated
financial statements presented in Item 8, FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND SUPPLEMENTARY
DATA of our Annual Report on Form 10-K. We make our periodic and current reports
available, free of charge, through www.nebook.com as soon as reasonably
practicable after such material is electronically filed with the Securities and
Exchange Commission. Information contained on our web site is not a part of this
Annual Report on Form 10-K.

BUSINESS STRATEGY

    Our objective is to strengthen our position as a leading provider of
products and services to the college bookstore market, thereby increasing
revenue and cash flow. In order to accomplish our goal, we intend to pursue the
following strategies:

    CAPITALIZE ON COLLEGE BOOKSTORE OPPORTUNITIES. We intend to increase
revenues for our Bookstore Division by acquiring, opening or contract-managing
additional bookstores at selected college campuses and offering additional
specialty products and services at our existing bookstores. We also intend to
increase same-store sales growth through a more coordinated effort to implement
best practices across our entire bookstore network.

    ENHANCE GROWTH IN THE TEXTBOOK DIVISION. We expect the Textbook Division to
continue to be a primary contributor of revenues and cash flows, primarily as a
result of an expected increase in college enrollments and continued utilization
of used textbooks; as well as through the expansion of our own Bookstore
Division, which should provide an additional supply of used textbooks.
Additionally, our commission structure rewards customers who make a long-term
commitment to supplying us with a large portion of their textbooks, and we
continue to change and enhance our marketing campaign to increase student
awareness of the benefits of buying and selling used textbooks.

    CONTINUE TO SERVICE THE DISTANCE EDUCATION MARKET. During fiscal year 2005,
Specialty Books' largest customer discontinued the use of Specialty Books'
services for delivery of educational materials. However, we expect Specialty
Books' revenues, after adjusting for the loss of this customer, to grow over
time as the distance education market continues to expand due to the increased
popularity of correspondence courses, continuing and corporate education courses
and courses offered through electronic media such as the Internet.

    INCREASED MARKET PENETRATION THROUGH TECHNOLOGY. We intend to continue
generating incremental revenue through the sale of our turnkey bookstore
management software. The installation of such software, along with E-commerce
technology offered through CampusHub, a division within the Complementary
Services Division, also increases the channels through which we can access the
college and university market.

    EXPANSION OF OTHER SERVICES PROGRAMS. We intend to continue to develop and
provide other services that enhance the college bookstore business, such as our
centralized buying group, marketing services, and store design consulting.

INDUSTRY OVERVIEW

    Based on recent industry trade data from the National Association of College
Stores, the college bookstore industry remains strong, with over 4,400 college
stores generating annual sales of approximately $11.2 billion to college
students and other consumers in the United States. Sales of textbooks and other
education materials used for classroom instruction comprise approximately
two-thirds of that amount. We expect this market will continue to grow as a
result of anticipated increases in enrollment at U.S. colleges attributable to
the children of the baby boom generation entering the college population.

    COLLEGE BOOKSTORE MARKET. College stores generally fall into three
categories: (i) INSTITUTIONAL -- stores that are primarily owned and operated by
institutions of higher learning (represents approximately 49.0% of the U.S.
market according to the National Association of College Stores); (ii)
CONTRACT-MANAGED -- stores owned by institutions of higher learning and managed
by outside, private companies, typically found on-campus (represents
approximately 34.0% of the U.S. market according to the National Association of
College Stores); and (iii) INDEPENDENT STORES -- privately owned and operated
stores, generally located off campus (represents approximately 17.0% of the U.S.
market according to the National Association of College Stores).

                                       5
<PAGE>

    WHOLESALE TEXTBOOK MARKET. We believe that used textbooks will continue to
be attractive to both students and college bookstores. Used textbooks provide
students with a lower-cost alternative to new textbooks and bookstores typically
achieve higher margins through the sale of used rather than new textbooks.

    The pricing pattern of textbook publishing accounts for a large part of the
growth of the used book market. Because of copyright restrictions, each new
textbook is produced by only one publisher, which is free to set the new copy
retail price and discount terms to bookstores. Publishers generally offer new
textbooks at prices that enable college bookstores to achieve a gross margin of
23.0% to 25.0% on new textbooks. Historically, the high retail costs of new
textbooks and the higher margins achieved by bookstores on the sale of used
textbooks (approximately 33.0%) have encouraged the growth of the market for
used textbooks.

    The used textbook cycle begins with new textbook publishers, who purposely
plan obsolescence into the publication of new textbooks. Generally, new editions
of textbooks are produced every two to four years. In the first year of a new
edition, there are few used copies of a new edition available. In the second and
third years, used textbooks become increasingly available. Simultaneously,
publishers begin to plan an updated edition. In years four and beyond, at the
end of the average life cycle of a particular edition, as publishers cut back on
original production, used textbooks generally represent a majority (in unit
terms) of the particular edition in use. While the length of the cycle varies by
title (and sometimes is indefinite, as certain titles are never updated), the
basic supply/demand progression remains fairly consistent.

    College bookstores begin to place orders with used textbook wholesalers once
professors determine which books will be required for their upcoming courses,
usually by the end of May for the fall semester and the end of November for the
spring semester. Bookstore operators must first determine their allocation
between new and used copies for a particular title but, in most cases, they will
order an ample supply of used books because: (i) used book demand from students
is typically strong and consistent; (ii) many operators only have access to a
limited supply from wholesalers and believe that not having used book
alternatives could create considerable frustration among students and with the
college administration; (iii) bookstore operators earn higher margins on used
books than on new books; and (iv) both new and used books are sold with return
privileges, eliminating any overstock risk (excluding freight charges) to the
college bookstore.

    New textbook ordering usually begins in June, at which time the store
operator augments its expected used book supply by ordering new books. By this
time, publishers typically will have just implemented their annual price
increases. These regular price increases allow us and our competitors to buy
used textbooks based on old list prices (in May) and to almost simultaneously
sell them based on new higher prices, thereby creating an immediate margin
increase.

    While price is an important factor in the store operator's purchasing
decision, available supply, as well as service, usually determine with which
used textbook wholesaler a college bookstore will develop a strong relationship.
Used textbook wholesalers that are able to significantly service a college
bookstore account typically receive preferential treatment from store operators,
both in selling and in buying used textbooks. Pure exclusive supply arrangements
in our market are rare. However, in the past eight to nine fiscal years, we have
been marketing our exclusive supply program to the industry. This program had
over 290 participating bookstores at the end of fiscal year 2007. We also
introduced the NBC Advantage program in fiscal year 2001. This program rewards
customers who make a long-term commitment to supplying us with a large portion
of their books. At the end of fiscal year 2007, over 560 bookstores were
participating in this program, approximately 280 of which were also
participating in the exclusive program. Since we are usually able to sell a
substantial majority of the used textbooks we are able to purchase, our ability
to obtain sufficient supply is a critical factor in our success.

PRODUCTS AND SERVICES

    BOOKSTORE DIVISION. As of March 31, 2007, we operated 244 college bookstores
on or adjacent to college campuses. These bookstores sell a wide variety of used
and new textbooks, general books and assorted general merchandise, including
apparel, sundries and gift items. Over the past three fiscal years, revenues of
our bookstores from activities other than used and new textbook sales have been
between 17.2% and 19.6% of total revenues. We have been, and intend to continue,
selectively expanding our product offerings at our bookstores in order to
increase sales and profitability. We have also installed software providing
E-commerce capabilities in all of our own bookstores, thereby allowing our
bookstores to further expand product offerings and compete with other online
textbook sellers.

                                       6
<PAGE>

    TEXTBOOK DIVISION. Our Textbook Division is engaged in the procurement and
redistribution of used textbooks on college campuses primarily across the United
States. The portion of the used textbook business that our division operates in
is limited to certain stores and certain books. In general, the portion of the
college bookstore market that our Textbook Division cannot access includes those
contract-managed stores that are not operated by us that sell their used
textbooks to affiliated companies, and institutional and independent stores, to
the extent that such used textbooks are repurchased from students and are
retained by the bookstore for resale without involving a wholesaler.

    We publish the BUYER'S GUIDE, which lists over 52,000 textbooks according to
author, title, new copy retail price, and our repurchase price. The BUYER'S
GUIDE is an important part of our inventory control and book procurement system.
We update and reprint the BUYER'S GUIDE nine times each year and make it
available in both print and various electronic formats, including on all of our
proprietary information systems. A staff of dedicated professionals gathers
information from all over the country in order to make the BUYER'S GUIDE into
what we believe to be the most comprehensive and up-to-date pricing and buying
aid for college bookstores. We also maintain a database of over 176,000 titles
in order to better serve our customers.

    COMPLEMENTARY SERVICES DIVISION. Through Specialty Books, we have access to
the market for distance education products and services. Currently, we provide
students at approximately 30 colleges and private high schools with textbooks
and materials for use in distance education and other education courses, and we
are a leading provider of textbooks to nontraditional programs and students such
as correspondence or corporate education students. We believe the fragmented
distance education market represents an opportunity for us to leverage our
fulfillment and distribution expertise in a rapidly growing sector. Beyond
textbooks, we offer services and specialty course materials to distance
education students including videotape duplication and shipping; shipping of
specialty, non-textbook course materials; and a sales and ordering function.
Students can order education materials from us over the Internet. Over the past
three fiscal years, revenues of Specialty Books have been between 44.4% and
63.7% of total Complementary Services Division revenues. Specialty Books'
largest customer, who accounted for more than 30.0% of Specialty Books' fiscal
year 2005 revenues, discontinued the use of Specialty Books' services for
delivery of educational materials during fiscal year 2005.

    Other services offered to college bookstores include services related to our
turnkey bookstore management software, the sale of other software and hardware,
and the related maintenance contracts. These services generate revenue and
assist us in gaining access to new sources of used textbooks. We have installed
our proprietary total store management system at approximately 890 college
bookstore locations, and we have an installed base of approximately 170 college
bookstore locations for our textbook management control systems. In total,
including our own bookstores, almost 1,060 college bookstore locations utilize
our software products. In addition, we have developed software for E-commerce
capabilities. These software products allow college bookstores to launch their
own E-commerce site and effectively compete against other online textbook
sellers by offering textbooks and both traditional and non-traditional store
merchandise online. Presently, there are over 480 stores licensing our
E-commerce technology via CampusHub. Additionally, on February 27, 2006, we
announced the introduction of our digital delivery solution which will allow a
college bookstore to offer students the option of purchasing E-books via
download in addition to new and used textbooks.

    Through C2O, we are able to offer a variety of products and services to
participating college bookstores. C2O negotiates apparel, supplies, gifts, and
general merchandise discounts and develops and executes marketing programs for
its membership. C2O has evolved into a buying group with substantial purchasing
clout by aggregating the purchasing power of over 720 participating stores,
including our own bookstores. Other C2O marketing services include a freight
savings program, a credit card processing program, a shopping bag program, and
retail display allowances for magazine displays. Additionally, the C2O staff of
experienced professionals consults with the management and buyers of member
bookstores. Consulting services offered include strategic planning, store
review, merchandise assortment planning, buyer training, and help with other
operational aspects of the business. While consulting has historically
represented a relatively small component of C2O's business, it is nonetheless
strategically important to the ongoing success of this aspect of our business.

    We also provide a consulting and store design program to assist college
bookstores in store presentation and layout. Through our marketing services
program, we are able to leverage our distribution channels. Marketing services
offered by us enable national vendors to reach college students through in-store
kiosks, prepackaged freshman mailers, coupon books, e-mail promotions and
in-store displays.

BOOKSTORE DIVISION

    An important aspect of our business strategy is a program designed to reach
new customers through the opening or acquisition of bookstores adjacent to
college campuses or the contract-management of stores on campus. In addition to
generating sales of new and used textbooks and general merchandise, these
outlets enhance our Textbook Division by increasing the inventory of used books
purchased from the campus.

    A desirable campus for a company-operated, off-campus college bookstore is
one on which our Textbook Division does not currently buy or sell used textbooks
either because a competitor contract-manages the college's bookstore or the
college bookstore does not have a strong relationship with us. We generally will
not open a location on a campus where we already have a strong relationship with
the college bookstore because some college bookstores may view having a
competing location as a conflict of interest. A desirable campus for
contract-management is one where the current contract-management service is
being provided by a competitor of ours and the contract is expiring.

    We tailor each of our own bookstores to fit the needs and lifestyles of the
campus on which it is located. Individual bookstore managers are given
significant planning and managing responsibilities, including, hiring employees,
controlling cash and inventory, and purchasing and merchandising product. We
have staff specialists, or contracts with external specialists, to assist
individual bookstore managers in such areas as store planning, merchandise
purchasing and layout, inventory control and media buying.

    As of March 31, 2007 we operated 244 college bookstores nationwide, having
expanded from 108 bookstores in fiscal year 2003. During fiscal year 2007 we
completed the acquisition of 8 bookstore locations, initiated the
contract-management of 110 bookstore locations, and established the start-up of
2 bookstore locations.

    The table below highlights certain information regarding our bookstores
added and closed through March 31, 2007.

------------

(1) In fiscal year 2003, the property leases at three bookstore locations
    expired and were not renewed by us. In fiscal year 2004, five bookstores
    were closed, as either the lease expired, the contract-managed relationship
    was not renewed, or an agreement was reached with the landlord to terminate
    the lease. In fiscal year 2006, two bookstores were closed and the leases
    were not renewed. In fiscal year 2007, fifteen bookstores were closed,
    primarily as a result of either the lease expiring, the contract-managed
    relationship not being renewed, or an agreement being reached with the
    landlord terminating the lease.

    We plan to continue increasing the number of bookstores in operation. The
private bookstore expansion plan will focus on campuses where we do not already
have a strong relationship with the on-campus bookstore. In determining to
purchase an existing store or open a new one, we look at several criteria: (i) a
large enough market to justify our efforts (typically this means a campus of at
least 5,000 students); (ii) the competitive environment (how many stores
currently serve the campus); (iii) a site in close proximity to campus with
adequate parking and accessibility; (iv) the potential of the bookstore to have
a broad product mix (larger bookstores are more attractive than smaller
bookstores because a full line of general merchandise can be offered in addition
to textbooks); (v) the availability of top-quality management; and (vi) certain
other factors, including leasehold improvement opportunities and personnel
costs. We also plan to pursue opportunities to contract-manage additional
institutional stores. In determining to pursue opportunities to contract-manage
a campus bookstore, we look at: (i) the size of the market; (ii) the competitive
status of the market; (iii) the availability of top quality management; and (iv)
certain other factors, including personnel costs. As mentioned previously, on
May 1, 2006 we acquired 101 college bookstore locations, 98 of which were
contract-managed, through the acquisition of all of the outstanding stock of
CBA.

WHOLESALE PROCUREMENT AND DISTRIBUTION

    Historically, because the demand for used textbooks has consistently
exceeded supply, our sales have been primarily determined by the amount of used
textbooks that we can purchase. We believe that, on average, we are able to
fulfill approximately 20% to 25% of our demand. As a result, our success has
depended primarily on our inventory procurement, and we continue to focus our
efforts on obtaining inventory. In order to ensure our ability to both obtain
and redistribute inventory, our Textbook Division strategy has emphasized
establishing and maintaining strong customer and supplier relationships with
college bookstores (primarily, independent and institutional college bookstores)
through our employee account representatives. These 34 account representatives
(as of March 31, 2007) are responsible for procuring used textbooks from
students, marketing our services on campus, purchasing overstock textbooks from
bookstores and securing leads for sale of our systems products. We have been
able to maintain a competitive edge by providing superior service, made possible
primarily through the development and maintenance of ready access to inventory,
information and supply. Other components of the Textbook Division strategy and
its implementation include: (i) selectively paying a marginal premium relative
to competitors to entice students to sell back more books to us; (ii) gaining
access to competitive campuses (where the campus bookstore is contract-managed
by a competitor) by opening off-campus, company-owned college bookstores; (iii)
using technology to gain efficiencies and to improve customer service; (iv)
maintaining a knowledgeable and experienced sales force that is customer-service
oriented; (v) providing working capital flexibility for bookstores making
substantial purchases; and (vi) establishing long-term supply arrangements by
rewarding customers who make a long-term commitment to supplying us with a large
portion of their books.

    The two major used textbook purchasing seasons are at the end of each
academic semester, May and December. Although we make book purchases during
other periods, the inventory purchased in May, before publishers announce their
price increases in June and July, allows us to purchase inventory based on the
lower retail prices of the previous year. The combination of this purchasing
cycle and the fact that we are able to sell our inventory in relation to retail
prices for the following year permits us to realize additional gross profit. We
advance cash to our representatives during these two periods, and the
representatives in turn buy books directly from students, generally through the
on-campus bookstore.

    After we purchase the books, we arrange for shipment to our warehouse in
Nebraska via common carrier. At the warehouse, we refurbish damaged books and
categorize and shelf all other books in a timely manner, and enter them into our
on-line inventory system.

    Customers place orders by phone, mail, fax or other electronic method. Upon
receiving an order, we remove the books from available inventory and hold them
for future shipping. Customers may return books within 60 days after the start
of classes (90 days for customers participating in the exclusive supply or NBC
Partnership programs) if a written request is enclosed. Returns over the past
three fiscal years have averaged approximately 22.3% of sales and generally are
attributable to course cancellations or overstocking. The majority of returns
are textbooks that we are able to resell for the next semester.

MANAGEMENT INFORMATION SYSTEMS

    We believe that we can enhance efficiency, profitability and competitiveness
through investments in technology. Our MIS operations process order entry,
control inventory, generate purchase orders and customer invoices, generate
various sales reports, and process and retrieve textbook information. Our
bookstores operate on either IBM RS-6000's running AIX ("Unix") or Microsoft
Windows-based servers. At the center of our MIS operations are our
self-developed, proprietary software programs such as PRISM, our whole store
management system, and PC-Text, our textbook management and inventory control
system. This software is maintained and continuously enhanced by an experienced
team of development and design professionals.

    In addition, we have developed software for E-commerce capabilities. Certain
of these software products allow college bookstores to launch their own
E-commerce site and effectively compete against other online textbook sellers by
offering textbooks and both traditional and non-traditional store merchandise
online. We have also developed or licensed other software designed to enhance
our E-commerce capabilities.

    None of our proprietary software programs are copyrighted, although we do
have registered trademarks for certain names. In addition to using our software
programs for our own management and inventory control, we license the use of
certain of our software programs to bookstores. Our software programs enhance
the efficiency and cost-effectiveness of our operations, and their use by
bookstores that are our customers or suppliers tends to solidify the
relationship between us and such customers or suppliers, resulting in increased
sales or inventory for us.

                                       9
<PAGE>

    MIS operations consist of four operating units: (i) the mainframe unit,
which develops and supports all systems utilized in our warehouses and corporate
offices; (ii) a system sales unit, which markets our college store management
systems to colleges; (iii) the College Bookstore Management Systems ("CBMS"),
which develops and supports the systems that are sold to bookstores; and (iv)
CampusHub, which develops and supports software for E-commerce.

    We conduct training courses for all systems users at our headquarters in
Lincoln, Nebraska. Classes are small and provide hands on demonstrations of the
various systems. Printed reference manuals and training materials also accompany
each system. The customer support unit of CBMS is staffed with approximately 60
experienced personnel. Support is offered via web site, E-mail, and toll free
phone numbers. Support hours vary per product and time of year. After-hours
pager support is available for mission-critical systems.

CUSTOMERS

    Our college bookstores are located at college campuses of all sizes,
including some of the nation's largest campuses, such as: Miami-Dade College;
Ohio State University; Arizona State University; University of Florida; Michigan
State University; Texas A&M University; University of Central Florida;
Pennsylvania State University; University of Michigan; Florida State University;
and University of Arizona.

    We sell our Textbook and certain Complementary Services Division products
and services to college bookstores throughout the United States, Canada and
Puerto Rico. Our Textbook Division purchases from and resells used textbooks to
college bookstores at college campuses of all sizes, including many of the
nation's largest campuses, such as: University of Minnesota; University of
Texas; University of Illinois; University of Washington; Indiana University; and
San Diego State University. Our 25 largest Textbook Division customers accounted
for approximately 3.3% of our fiscal year 2007 consolidated revenues. No single
Textbook Division customer accounted for more than 1.0% of our fiscal year 2007
consolidated revenues.

    Our distance education program is, among other things, a primary supplier of
textbooks and educational material to students enrolled in on-line courses
offered through approximately 30 colleges and private high schools. Although
historically one institution accounted for a substantial portion of total
revenues in the distance education program, this institution discontinued the
use of our services for delivery of educational materials during fiscal year
2005. For the fiscal years ended March 31, 2007 and 2006, two institutions
accounted for approximately 61% and 53%, respectively, of distance education
program revenues.

    No single customer accounted for more than 10.0% of our consolidated
revenues in fiscal year 2007, 2006, or 2005.

COMPETITION

    We compete with a variety of other companies and also individuals, all of
whom seek to provided products and/or services to the college marketplace. Our
main corporate competitors are Follett Campus Resources ("Follett") and MBS
Textbook Exchange/Barnes & Noble college stores ("MBS"). MBS Textbook Exchange
and Barnes & Noble are sister companies controlled by the same shareholder.

    Our Bookstore Division competes with:

     o    Follett, MBS and a number of smaller companies for the opportunity to
          contract-manage institutional college bookstores (Follett and MBS
          contract-manage approximately 729 and 550 stores respectively),

     o    other college bookstores located at colleges and universities that we
          serve,

     o    a number of entities that sell textbooks and other merchandise
          directly to students through E-commerce bypassing the traditional
          college bookstore,

     o    student to student transactions that take place on campus and over the
          internet, and

     o    course packs and electronic media as a source of textbook information,
          such as on-line resources, E-Books, print-on-demand textbooks and
          CD-ROMs which may replace or modify the need for students to purchase
          textbooks through the traditional college bookstore.

                                       10
<PAGE>

    Our Textbook Division competes in the used textbook market, which includes
the purchase and resale of used textbooks. We compete with:

     o    college bookstores who normally repurchase books from students to be
          reused on that campus the following semester or term,

     o    student to student transactions that take place on campus and over the
          internet, and

     o    other wholesalers who purchase used textbooks from students and then
          resell them to other college bookstores.

    Our Textbook Division competes in the wholesale business with Follett and
MBS, and certain smaller regional companies including Budgetext, Texas Book
Company, Tichenor College Textbook Company, and Southeastern Book Company. We
believe that our market share of the independent and non contract-managed
institutional stores is comparable to that of Follett and MBS individually. Many
of Follett's and some of MBS's college bookstores are located on smaller
campuses. The size of the campus and their presence there have precluded us from
entering these markets, which in turn affects both our ability to buy books and
our ability to add new accounts.

    Our Complementary Services Division competes with:

     o    MBS in the sale and installation of college bookstore information
          systems

     o    MBS in the distance education textbook distribution market,

     o    college bookstores that provide their own E-commerce solution in
          competition with CampusHub,

     o    the Independent College Bookstore Association ("ICBA") in the
          centralized buying service business (participation by college
          bookstores in C2O's or ICBA's centralized buying service is voluntary,
          and college bookstores may, and some do, belong to both buying
          associations) and

     o    a variety of smaller organizations and individuals involved in these
          businesses and others like marketing services and consulting services.

GOVERNMENTAL REGULATION

    We are subject to various federal, state and local health and safety laws
and regulations. Generally, these laws establish standards for vehicle and
employee safety. These laws include the Occupational Safety and Health Act.
Future developments, such as stricter employee health and safety laws and
regulations thereunder, could affect our operations. We do not currently
anticipate that the cost of our compliance with, or of any foreseeable
liabilities under, employee health and safety laws and regulations will have a
material adverse affect on our business or financial condition.

EMPLOYEES

    As of March 31, 2007 we had a total of approximately 3,100 employees, of
which approximately 1,300 were full-time, approximately 900 were part-time and
approximately 900 were temporary. We have no unionized employees and believe
that our relationship with our employees is satisfactory.

    In view of the seasonal nature of our Textbook Division, we utilize seasonal
labor to improve operating efficiency. We employ a small number of "flex-pool"
workers who are cross-trained in a variety of warehouse functions. Temporary
employees augment the flex-pool to meet periodic labor demands.


                             ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS.

    This Annual Report on Form 10-K contains forward-looking statements within
the meaning of the Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 that involve risks
and uncertainties. Our actual results could differ materially from those
anticipated in these forward-looking statements as a result of a number of
factors, including, but not limited to, those set forth in the following
cautionary statements and elsewhere in this Annual Report on Form 10-K.

                                       11
<PAGE>

    WE FACE COMPETITION IN OUR MARKETS. Our industry is highly competitive. A
large number of actual or potential competitors exist, some of which are larger
than us and have substantially greater resources than us. We cannot give
assurances that our business will not be adversely affected by increased
competition in the markets in which we currently operate or in markets in which
we will operate in the future, or that we will be able to improve or maintain
our profit margins. In recent years, an increasing number of institution-owned
college stores have decided to outsource or "contract-manage" the operation of
their bookstores. As of January 2006, approximately 34% of the U.S. members of
The National Association of College Stores were contract-managed. The leading
managers of these stores include two of our principal competitors in the
wholesale textbook distribution business. Contract-managed stores primarily
purchase their used textbook requirements from and sell their available supply
of used textbooks to their affiliated operations. A significant increase in the
number of contract-managed stores operated by our competitors, particularly at
large college campuses, could adversely affect our ability to acquire an
adequate supply of used textbooks.

    We are also experiencing growing competition from alternative media and
alternative sources of textbooks for students (such as websites designed to sell
textbooks, e-books and digital content, and other merchandise directly to
students; on-line resources; publishers selling direct to students;
print-on-demand textbooks; and CD-ROMs) and from the use of course packs (which
are collections of copyrighted materials and professors' original content which
are produced by college bookstores and sold to students), all of which have the
potential to reduce or replace the need for textbooks sold through college
bookstores. A substantial increase in the availability or the acceptance of
these alternatives as a source of textbooks and textbook information could
significantly reduce college students' use of college bookstores and/or the use
of traditional textbooks and thus have a material adverse effect on our business
and results of operations.

    We are experiencing growing competition from technology-enabled student to
student transactions that take place over the Internet. These transactions,
whereby a student enters into a transaction directly with another student for
the sale and purchase of a textbook, provide competition by reducing the supply
of textbooks available to us for purchase and by reducing the sale of textbooks
through college bookstores. While such transactions have occurred for many
years, prior to the Internet such transactions were limited by geography, a lack
of information related to pricing and demand, and other factors. A significant
increase in the number of these transactions could have a material adverse
effect on our business and results of operations.

    WE MAY NOT BE ABLE TO SUCCESSFULLY ACQUIRE OR CONTRACT-MANAGE ADDITIONAL
BOOKSTORES OR INTEGRATE THOSE ADDITIONAL STORES. Part of our business strategy
is to expand sales for our college bookstore operations by either acquiring
privately owned bookstores or being awarded additional contracts to manage
institutional bookstores. We cannot give assurances that we will be able to
identify additional private bookstores for acquisition or that we will be
successful in competing for contracts to manage additional institutional stores.
We also cannot give assurances that any anticipated benefits will be realized
from any of these additional bookstores. Due to the seasonal nature of business
in our bookstores, operations may be affected by the time of fiscal year when a
bookstore is acquired or contract-managed by us. The process may require
financial resources that would otherwise be available for our existing
operations. We cannot give assurances that the integration of these future
bookstores will be successful or that the anticipated strategic benefits of
these future bookstores will be realized or that they will be realized within
time frames contemplated by our management. Acquisitions and additional
contract-managed stores may involve a number of special risks, including, but
not limited to, adverse short-term effects on our reported results of
operations, diversion of management's attention, standardization of accounting
systems, dependence on retaining, hiring and training key personnel,
unanticipated problems or legal liabilities, and actions of our competitors and
customers. If we are unable to successfully integrate our future acquisitions or
contract-managed stores for these or other reasons, our results of operations
may be adversely affected.

    WE MAY NOT BE ABLE TO SUCCESSFULLY RENEW OUR CONTRACT-MANAGED BOOKSTORES AT
PROFITABLE TERMS. As we expand our operations in contract-management of
institutional bookstores, we will increasingly be competing for the renewal of
our contracts for those stores as the current contracts expire. Contracts in the
industry are typically for 3 to 5 years, with various renewal and cancellation
clauses. We cannot give assurances that we will be able to be successful in
renewing our current contracts or that those renewals will be on terms that
provide us the opportunity to improve or maintain the profitability of managing
the store. If we are unable to successfully renew our contracts on profitable
terms, our results of operations may be adversely affected.

    IF WE ARE UNABLE TO OBTAIN A SUFFICIENT SUPPLY OF USED TEXTBOOKS, OUR
BUSINESS MAY BE ADVERSELY AFFECTED. We are generally able to sell a substantial
majority of our available used textbooks and, therefore, our ability to purchase
a sufficient number of used textbooks largely determines our used textbook sales
for future periods. Successfully acquiring books requires a visible presence on
college campuses at the end of each semester, which requires hiring a
significant number of temporary personnel, and having access to sufficient funds
under our Revolving Credit Facility or other financing alternatives to purchase
the books. Textbook acquisition also depends upon college students' willingness
to sell their used textbooks at the end of each semester. The unavailability of
sufficient personnel or credit, or a shift in student preferences, could impair
our ability to acquire sufficient used textbooks to meet our sales objectives
and adversely affect our results of operations.

                                       12
<PAGE>

    OUR OPERATIONS MAY BE ADVERSELY AFFECTED IF PUBLISHERS DO NOT CONTINUE TO
INCREASE PRICES OF TEXTBOOKS ANNUALLY. We generally buy used textbooks based on
publishers' prevailing prices for new textbooks just prior to the implementation
by publishers of their annual price increases (which historically have been 4%
to 5%) and resell these textbooks shortly thereafter based upon the new higher
prices, thereby creating an immediate margin increase. Our ability to increase
our used textbook prices each fiscal year depends on annual price increases on
new textbooks implemented by publishers. The failure of publishers to continue
annual price increases on new textbooks could adversely affect our results of
operations.

    CHANGES IN PUBLISHER ACTIVITIES RELATED TO NEW EDITIONS AND MATERIALS
PACKAGED WITH NEW TEXTBOOKS COULD NEGATIVELY AFFECT OUR RESULTS OF OPERATIONS.
Publishers have historically produced new editions of textbooks every two to
four years. Changes in the business models of publishers to accelerate the new
edition cycle or to significantly increase the number of textbooks with other
materials packaged or bundled with it (which makes it more difficult to
repurchase and resell the entire package of materials) could reduce the supply
of used textbooks available to us and negatively affect our results of
operations.

    WE ARE DEPENDENT ON KEY PERSONNEL, THE LOSS OF WHOM COULD MATERIALLY
ADVERSELY AFFECT OUR BUSINESS AND FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE. Our future success
depends to a significant extent on the efforts and abilities of our senior
management team. Our senior management team has over 80 years of cumulative
experience in the college bookstore industry. The loss of the services of any
one of these individuals could have a material adverse effect on our business,
financial condition and results of operations.

    THE SEASONALITY OF OUR WHOLESALE AND BOOKSTORE OPERATIONS COULD NEGATIVELY
AFFECT OUR RESULTS OF OPERATIONS. Our wholesale and bookstore operations
experience two distinct selling periods and our wholesale operations experience
two distinct buying periods. The peak selling periods for the wholesale
operations occur prior to the beginning of each school semester in July/August
and November/December. The buying periods for the wholesale operations occur at
the end of each school semester in May and December. The primary selling periods
for the bookstore operations are in August/September and January. In fiscal year
2007, approximately 45% of our annual revenues occurred in the second fiscal
quarter (July-September), while approximately 32% of our annual revenues
occurred in the fourth fiscal quarter (January-March). Accordingly, our working
capital requirements fluctuate throughout the fiscal year, increasing
substantially in May and December as a result of the buying periods. We fund our
working capital requirements primarily through the Revolving Credit Facility,
which historically has been repaid with cash provided from operations. A
significant reduction in sales during our peak selling periods could have a
material adverse effect on our financial condition or results of operations.

    THE INDENTURES GOVERNING THE SENIOR SUBORDINATED NOTES AND SENIOR DISCOUNT
NOTES, AS WELL AS THE SENIOR CREDIT FACILITY, IMPOSE SIGNIFICANT OPERATING AND
FINANCIAL RESTRICTIONS, WHICH MAY PREVENT US FROM INCURRING ADDITIONAL
INDEBTEDNESS AND TAKING CERTAIN ACTIONS. The indentures governing the Senior
Subordinated Notes and Senior Discount Notes restrict our ability to do the
following: incur additional indebtedness; pay dividends or make other restricted
payments; consummate certain asset sales; create liens on assets; enter into
transactions with affiliates; make investments, loans or advances; consolidate
or merge with or into any other entity; convey, transfer or lease all or
substantially all of our assets; or change the business we conduct.

    The Senior Credit Facility prohibits NBC from prepaying other indebtedness.
In addition, NBC is required to comply with and maintain specified financial
ratios and tests, including a minimum interest coverage ratio, a maximum
leverage ratio and a minimum fixed charge coverage ratio. NBC's ability to meet
these financial ratios and tests can be affected by events beyond our control,
and we cannot give assurances that NBC will satisfy these requirements in the
future. A breach of any of these covenants could result in a default under the
Senior Credit Facility or the indentures. Upon an event of default under the
Senior Credit Facility, the lenders could elect to declare all amounts and
accrued interest outstanding under the Senior Credit Facility due and payable
and could terminate their commitments to make further extensions of credit under
the Senior Credit Facility and the holders of the Senior Subordinated Notes and
Senior Discount Notes could elect to declare all amounts under such notes
immediately due and payable. If NBC were unable to repay its indebtedness under
the Senior Credit Facility, the lenders could proceed against the collateral
securing the indebtedness. If the indebtedness under the Senior Credit Facility
were accelerated, we cannot give assurances that the assets of NBC would be
sufficient to repay in full such indebtedness and other indebtedness, including
the Senior Subordinated Notes and Senior Discount Notes. Substantially all of
our assets are pledged as security under the Senior Credit Facility.

    WE ARE CONTROLLED BY ONE PRINCIPAL EQUITY HOLDER, WHO HAS THE POWER TO TAKE
UNILATERAL ACTION. Weston Presidio beneficially owns approximately 83.9% of the
Company's issued and outstanding common stock (taking into account for such
percentage calculation options outstanding and options available for future
grant under the 2004 Stock Option Plan). As a result, Weston Presidio is able to
control all matters, including the election of a majority of our board of
directors, the approval of amendments to NBC's and our certificates of
incorporation and the approval of fundamental corporate transactions such as
mergers and asset sales. The interests of Weston Presidio may not in all cases
be aligned with the interests of other affected parties. In addition, Weston
Presidio may have an interest in pursuing acquisitions, divestitures and other
transactions, including selling us, that, in its judgment, could affect its
equity investment, even though such transactions might involve risks to other
affected parties.

    OUR SUBSTANTIAL LEVEL OF INDEBTEDNESS COULD LIMIT CASH FLOW AVAILABLE FOR
OUR OPERATIONS AND COULD ADVERSELY AFFECT OUR ABILITY TO SERVICE OUR DEBT OR
OBTAIN ADDITIONAL FINANCING. We have $445.1 million of outstanding indebtedness
at March 31, 2007. The degree to which we are leveraged could have important
consequences, including the following:

o    our ability to obtain additional financing for working capital, capital
     expenditures, acquisitions, or general corporate purposes may be impaired;

o    a substantial portion of our cash flow from operations must be dedicated to
     the payment of interest on outstanding indebtedness, thereby reducing the
     funds available to us for other purposes, such as capital expenditures and
     acquisitions;

o    all of the indebtedness outstanding under the Senior Credit Facility is
     secured by substantially all of our assets, and will mature prior to the
     Senior Subordinated Notes and the Senior Discount Notes;

o    we believe we are substantially more leveraged than certain of our
     competitors, which might place us at a competitive disadvantage;

o    we may be hindered in our ability to adjust rapidly to changing market
     conditions;

o    we may be more vulnerable in the event of a downturn in general economic
     conditions or in our industry or business; and

o    our indebtedness may make it more difficult for us to satisfy our financial
     obligations.


                       ITEM 1B. UNRESOLVED STAFF COMMENTS.

    As previously noted, we are neither an accelerated filer nor a well-known
seasoned issuer, as those terms are defined by the United States Securities and
Exchange Commission. However, we are not aware of any unresolved written
comments received from the United States Securities and Exchange Commission
regarding the comment letter we received from the United States Securities and
Exchange Commission on March 30, 2007 and responded to on April 17, 2007.

                               ITEM 2. PROPERTIES.


    At March 31, 2007, our Bookstore Division locations consisted of the
following: (i) 6 owned off-campus bookstore locations, (ii) 112 leased
off-campus bookstore locations, and (iii) 126 leased on-campus
(contract-managed) bookstore locations serving university and post-graduate
educational institutions throughout the United States. These institutions served
approximately 2.1 million students. We own our two Textbook Division warehouses
(totaling 253,000 square feet) in Lincoln, Nebraska (one of which is also the
location of our headquarters). Our distance education program resides in a
leased facility with 49,500 square feet in Athens, Ohio. The lease, as amended,
expires on May 31, 2011 and has one one-year option to renew.


                           ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS.

    From time to time, we are subject to legal proceedings and other claims
arising in the ordinary course of our business. We believe that currently we are
not a party to any litigation the outcome of which would have a material adverse
affect on our financial condition or results of operations. We maintain
insurance coverage against claims in an amount which we believe to be adequate.


          ITEM 4. SUBMISSION OF MATTERS TO A VOTE OF SECURITY HOLDERS.

     No items were submitted to a vote of security holders of the Company during
the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2007.

   ITEM 5. MARKET FOR REGISTRANT'S COMMON EQUITY, RELATED STOCKHOLDER MATTERS
                   AND ISSUER PURCHASES OF EQUITY SECURITIES.

    As of June 29, 2007, based upon the number of holders on record, there were
5 holders of NBC Acquisition Corp. common stock, those holders being four funds
affiliated with Weston Presidio (which held a total of 36,455 shares) and NBC
Holdings Corp., a new corporation formed by Weston Presidio as part of the March
4, 2004 Transaction. As of June 29, 2007, NBC Holdings Corp.'s issued and
outstanding capital stock totaled 517,639 shares and correlated with the 517,639
shares of NBC Acquisition Corp. common stock it held. There are 29 holders on
record of NBC Holdings Corp. capital stock, including the four funds affiliated
with Weston Presidio and current and former members of our management group. As
of June 29, 2007, there were also options granted and outstanding under the 2004
Stock Option Plan, held by 31 current and former members of our management
group, to purchase 75,749 shares of NBC Holdings Corp. capital stock. As
discussed in Item 7, MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS and Item 8, FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND SUPPLEMENTARY
DATA, the payment of dividends is subject to various restrictions under our debt
instruments. As a result, no dividends were declared on our common stock during
fiscal year 2007 and 2006. There is no established public trading market for the
NBC Acquisition Corp. common stock.

    On March 31, 2006, NBC Holdings Corp. and the Company memorialized their
understanding that with respect to each share of capital stock issued by NBC
Holdings Corp., pursuant to its 2005 Restricted Stock Plan, the Company has
issued, and will continue to issue, an equivalent number of shares of its common
stock at the same purchase price per share to NBC Holdings Corp.

    On March 31, 2006, 4,200 shares of NBC Holdings Corp. capital stock were
issued for $0.01 per share to certain officers and directors of the Company (the
"Officers"). The shares purchased by the Officers are each subject to a Stock
Repurchase Agreement (the "SRA") that, among other things, provides that if the
Officer in question is still employed by NBC Holdings Corp., his purchased
shares vest on September 30, 2010 (the "Vesting Date"). If the Officer is not
employed by NBC Holdings Corp. on that date the shares do not vest, except under
certain conditions related to termination of his employment without "cause" (as
defined in the SRA) or due to his death or disability. If the Officer is
terminated without cause prior to the Vesting Date, the shares vest based upon a
formula determined by the number of days from March 31, 2006 to the date of
termination as a percentage of the number of days from March 31, 2006 to the
Vesting Date. If a termination without cause before the Vesting Date follows a
Change of Control (as defined in the SRA), all of the Officer's shares become
immediately vested. In accordance with the aforementioned understanding, NBC
Holdings, Inc. purchased 4,200 shares of the Company's common stock for $42 on
March 31, 2006. The shares issued to NBC Holdings Corp. are subject to the same
vesting conditions as those issued to the Officers. These shares were issued
pursuant to an exemption from registration claimed under Section 4(2) of the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended.

    Additional information regarding equity compensation plans can be found in
Item 12, SECURITY OWNERSHIP OF CERTAIN BENEFICIAL OWNERS AND MANAGEMENT AND
RELATED STOCKHOLDER MATTERS.

     (1)  On March 4, 2004, Weston Presidio acquired the controlling interest in
          the Company through a series of steps which resulted in Weston
          Presidio owning a substantial majority of NBC Acquisition Corp.'s
          common stock. For ease of presentation, financial information
          presented in this table reflects this transaction as if it had
          occurred on March 1, 2004. We have determined that no material
          transactions occurred during the period from March 1, 2004 through
          March 4, 2004. As a result of the March 4, 2004 Transaction, financial
          information for periods ending prior to March 1, 2004 is presented as
          the "Predecessor," while financial information for periods ending
          after March 1, 2004 is presented as the "Successor."

          As a result of the March 4, 2004 Transaction, which included
          substantial increases in long-term indebtedness through the issuance
          of new indebtedness and amortizable identifiable intangibles through
          the application of purchase accounting, the results of our operations
          beginning with the one month ended March 31, 2004 include higher
          interest and amortization expense. Additionally, the results of our
          operations for the eleven months ended February 29, 2004 contain
          non-recurring charges associated with (a) the write-off of $8.3
          million of debt issue costs in conjunction with the March 4, 2004
          Transaction and a debt refinancing which occurred on December 10,
          2003; (b) call premiums totaling $5.9 million related to the March 4,
          2004 Transaction; and (c) share-based compensation totaling $7.3
          million associated with the March 4, 2004 Transaction and the December
          10, 2003 debt refinancing.

     (2)  Includes share-based compensation of $997 and $7,264 for the fiscal
          year ended March 31, 2007 and the 11 months ended February 29, 2004,
          respectively.

     (3)  EBITDA is defined as earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation,
          and amortization. As we are highly-leveraged and as our equity is not
          publicly-traded, management believes that a non-GAAP financial
          measure, EBITDA, is useful in measuring our liquidity and provides
          additional information for determining our ability to meet debt
          service requirements. The Senior Subordinated Notes, Senior Discount
          Notes, and Senior Credit Facility also utilize EBITDA, as defined in
          those agreements, for certain financial covenants. EBITDA does not
          represent and should not be considered as an alternative to net cash
          flows from operating activities as determined by accounting principles
          generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP"), and
          EBITDA does not necessarily indicate whether cash flows will be
          sufficient for cash requirements. Items excluded from EBITDA, such as
          interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, are significant
          components in understanding and assessing our financial performance.
          EBITDA measures presented may not be comparable to similarly titled
          measures presented by other registrants.

          The following presentation reconciles EBITDA with net cash flows from
          operating activities as presented in the Consolidated Statements of
          Cash Flows included in Item 8, FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND SUPPLEMENTARY

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

    The following discussions should be read in conjunction with our
consolidated financial statements and the related notes thereto included in Item
8, FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND SUPPLEMENTARY DATA, and other information in this
Annual Report on Form 10-K.


                                EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

OVERVIEW

    ACQUISITIONS. On May 1, 2006, we acquired 101 college bookstore locations,
98 of which were contract-managed, through the acquisition of all of the
outstanding stock of CBA. CBA began providing contract-management services to
small to medium-sized colleges and universities nationwide in 1984. In addition
to the acquired revenue and EBITDA, we believe this acquisition will enhance our
competitive position for future contract-management opportunities. Certain
amendments were made to the Credit Agreement to allow for this acquisition,
including adding an incremental $24.0 million of borrowings under the Term Loan,
increasing amounts available under the Revolving Credit Facility by $15.0
million, and amending certain restrictions and financial covenants. The
modifications to the Credit Agreement also resulted in the payment of $0.8
million in costs associated with such modifications, which were capitalized as
debt issue costs to be amortized to interest expense over the remaining life of
the debt instruments. As announced in December 2006, our contract-management
solution (which includes the combined NBC and CBA contract-managed bookstore
locations) are now doing business as Validis Resources, providing a unified
image and brand for such services.

    Additionally, we completed the purchase, initiated the contract-management,
or established the start-up of 19 bookstore locations during the fiscal year
ended March 31, 2007. The property leases or contract-management agreements at
15 bookstore locations were not renewed during the fiscal year ended March 31,
2007. We believe that there continue to be attractive opportunities for us to
expand our chain of bookstores across the country; and, as a result, certain
amendments were made to the Credit Agreement on March 30, 2007 to, among other
things, increase amounts available under the Revolving Credit Facility by $20.0
million. The modifications to the Credit Agreement resulted in the payment of
$0.2 million in costs associated with such modifications, which were capitalized
as debt issue costs to be amortized to interest expense over the remaining life
of the Revolving Credit Facility.

    REVENUE RESULTS. Consolidated revenues for the fiscal year ended March 31,
2007 increased $124.3 million, or 29.6% from the fiscal year ended March 31,
2006. This increase is primarily attributable to growth in the Bookstore
Division, which realized revenue growth through the acquisition of CBA, other
transactions involving new store locations, and same store sales growth of 3.7%.
The Complementary Services Division also experienced growth during the fiscal
year ended March 31, 2007, primarily as a result of increased revenues from our
systems divisions. Finally, revenues increased in the Textbook Division
primarily as a result of an increase in the average price per book sold.

    EBITDA RESULTS. Consolidated EBITDA for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2007
increased $6.9 million from the fiscal year ended March 31, 2006, with all three
operating segments showing improved results. The EBITDA increase is primarily
attributable to growth in the Bookstore Division due to the acquisition activity
noted above and growth in same store sales. The Complementary Services Division
and the Textbook Division also showed improved EBITDA results, with the
Complementary Services Division increase attributable primarily to increased
EBITDA in the systems and distance education divisions. EBITDA is considered a
non-GAAP financial measure by the SEC, and therefore you should refer to the
more detailed explanation of that measure that is provided later in this
section.

    CALIFORNIA WAREHOUSE CLOSURE. On August 9, 2006, we announced plans to close
our warehouse facility located in Cypress, California and eliminate 33
positions. The facility closed effective October 27, 2006, and these positions
were eliminated at that time. A group of 17 other employees were offered, and 16
employees accepted, positions to remain with us as Account Service
Representatives, continuing to service our customers. As a result of these
plans, we incurred $0.8 million of one-time employee termination benefits,
contract termination expenses, and other associated costs during the fiscal year
ended March 31, 2007. We expect to save approximately $0.8 to $1.2 million
annually in operating costs after these plans are fully implemented.

CHALLENGES AND EXPECTATIONS

    We expect that we will continue to face challenges and opportunities similar
to those which we have faced in the recent past. We have experienced, and
continue to experience, competition for the supply of used textbooks from other
textbook wholesalers and from student to student transactions, competition from
alternative media and alternative sources of textbooks for students, competition
for contract-management opportunities and other challenges. We also believe that
we will continue to face challenges and opportunities related to acquisitions.
Despite these challenges, we expect that we will continue to grow revenue and
EBITDA on a consolidated basis in fiscal year 2008. We also expect that our
capital expenditures will remain modest for a company of our size.

                 FISCAL YEAR ENDED MARCH 31, 2007 COMPARED WITH
                       FISCAL YEAR ENDED MARCH 31, 2006.

    REVENUES. Revenues for the fiscal years ended March 31, 2007 and 2006 and
the corresponding change in revenues were as follows:

                      Fiscal Year      Fiscal Year             Change
                         Ended            Ended      -------------------------

eliminations            (42,062,347)    (31,239,985)   (10,822,362)    34.6 %
                    ---------------- --------------- -------------- ----------
                      $ 544,427,964   $ 420,107,899  $ 124,320,065     29.6 %
                    ================ =============== ============== ==========

    The increase in Bookstore Division revenues was primarily attributable to
the addition of 137 bookstore locations through acquisitions or start-ups since
April 1, 2005. The new bookstores provided an additional $121.1 million of
revenue for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2007. Same-store sales for the
fiscal year ended March 31, 2007 increased $9.9 million, or 3.7%, from the
fiscal year ended March 31, 2006, primarily due to increased clothing and
insignia wear and textbook revenues. The Company defines same-store sales for
the fiscal year ended March 31, 2007 as sales from any store, even if expanded
or relocated, that has been operated by the Company since the start of fiscal
year 2006. Finally, revenues declined $4.6 million as a result of certain store
closings since April 1, 2005.

    For the fiscal year ended March 31, 2007, Textbook Division revenues were up
2.4% compared to the fiscal year ended March 31, 2006 due to a 5.1% increase in
the average price per book sold, which was partially offset by a 1.7% decrease
in units sold and an increase in sales returns. Complementary Services Division
revenues increased primarily due to a $3.7 million increase in revenues in our
systems divisions. Primarily as a result of our significant growth in the
Bookstore Division, intercompany revenues and the corresponding intercompany
eliminations for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2007 increased $9.1 million and
$1.8 million in the Textbook and Complementary Services Divisions, respectively,
from the fiscal year ended March 31, 2006. Of the $9.1 million increase in
Textbook Division intercompany revenues, $2.3 million effectively represents a
shift from external customer revenues due to the acquisition of CBA.

    GROSS PROFIT. Gross profit for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2007
increased $42.8 million, or 25.3%, to $212.0 million from $169.2 million for the
fiscal year ended March 31, 2006. The increase in gross profit was primarily
attributable to the increase in revenues, as the consolidated gross margin
percentage declined to 38.9% for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2007 from 40.3%
for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2006. The decrease in consolidated gross
margin percentage was expected and is primarily attributable to the shift in
revenue mix, with lower-margin Bookstore Division revenues comprising 76.6% and
69.2% of consolidated revenues for the fiscal years ended March 31, 2007 and
2006, respectively. Additionally, CBA margins are lower than margins for our
off-campus bookstore locations due in part to CBA revenues being more
heavily-weighted toward lower margin new textbooks.

    SELLING, GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES. Selling, general and
administrative expenses for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2007 increased $35.1
million, or 32.5% to $143.1 million from $108.0 million for the fiscal year
ended March 31, 2006. Selling, general and administrative expenses as a
percentage of revenues were 26.3% and 25.7% for the fiscal years ended March 31,
2007 and 2006, respectively. The increase in selling, general and administrative
expenses, which includes a $16.8 million increase in personnel costs (including
share-based compensation of $1.0 million attributable to the 4,200 shares of NBC
Holdings Corp. restricted stock issued on March 31, 2006) and a $9.4 million
increase in rent, is primarily attributable to our continued growth in the
Bookstore Division with the addition of 137 bookstore locations through
acquisitions or start-ups since April 1, 2005.

    CLOSURE OF CALIFORNIA WAREHOUSE EXPENSES. Closure of California warehouse
expenses recognized during the fiscal year ended March 31, 2007 are attributable
to one-time termination benefits, costs to terminate contracts, and costs of
consolidation/relocation associated with the October 27, 2006 closure of our
California warehouse facility, which was announced on August 9, 2006.

    EARNINGS (LOSS) BEFORE INTEREST, TAXES, DEPRECIATION, AND AMORTIZATION
(EBITDA). EBITDA for the fiscal years ended March 31, 2007 and 2006 and the
corresponding change in EBITDA were as follows:

                    ================ =============== ============= ===========

    The increase in Bookstore Division EBITDA was primarily due to the
acquisition activity noted above and growth in same store sales. The small
increase in Textbook Division EBITDA was primarily due to the increase in
revenues and relatively stable selling, general and administrative expenses,
despite the $0.8 million of costs incurred related to the closure of its
California warehouse. The increase in Complementary Services Division EBITDA is
attributable to improved results in almost all of its business activities,
particularly the systems and distance education divisions, as revenues and gross
margin percentage increased; and, although selling, general and administrative
expenses increased as well, such expenses were down as a percentage of revenues.
Corporate administration costs increased primarily as a result of $1.0 million
in share-based compensation associated with the NBC Holdings Corp. restricted
stock issued on March 31, 2006, $0.9 million in corporate costs related to the
acquisition of CBA, and a $0.5 million increase in incentive compensation costs
related to the increase in EBITDA.

    EBITDA is defined as earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and
amortization. As we are highly-leveraged and as our equity is not
publicly-traded, management believes that a non-GAAP financial measure, EBITDA,
is useful in measuring our liquidity and provides additional information for
determining our ability to meet debt service requirements. The Senior
Subordinated Notes, Senior Discount Notes, and Senior Credit Facility also
utilize EBITDA, as defined in those agreements, for certain financial covenants.
EBITDA does not represent and should not be considered as an alternative to net
cash flows from operating activities as determined by GAAP, and EBITDA does not
necessarily indicate whether cash flows will be sufficient for cash
requirements. Items excluded from EBITDA, such as interest, taxes, depreciation
and amortization, are significant components in understanding and assessing our
financial performance. EBITDA measures presented may not be comparable to
similarly titled measures presented by other registrants.

    DEPRECIATION EXPENSE. Depreciation expense for the fiscal year ended March
31, 2007 increased $1.0 million, or 20.4%, to $5.9 million from $4.9 million for
the fiscal year ended March 31, 2006, due primarily to depreciation attributable
to CBA of $0.6 million.

    AMORTIZATION EXPENSE. Amortization expense for the fiscal year ended March
31, 2007 increased $0.8 million, or 9.7%, to $9.6 million from $8.8 million for
the fiscal year ended March 31, 2006, due primarily to amortization attributable
to CBA of $0.4 million, as well as amortization of non-compete agreements and
contract-managed acquisition costs associated with bookstore acquisitions
occurring since April 1, 2005.

    INTEREST EXPENSE, NET. Interest expense, net for the fiscal year ended March
31, 2007 increased $4.9 million, or 14.2%, to $39.0 million from $34.1 million
for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2006, due primarily to an increase in
borrowings under the Term Loan and Revolving Credit Facility associated with the
CBA acquisition, an approximate 70 basis point increase in the average interest
rate on the Term Loan, a $0.8 million change in the impact of accounting for the
portion of the interest rate swap agreement not qualifying for hedge accounting,
and a $0.7 million increase in original issue debt discount amortization on the
Senior Discount Notes, .

    INCOME TAXES. Income tax expense for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2007
increased $0.2 million to $5.7 million from $5.5 million for the fiscal year
ended March 31, 2006. Our effective tax rate for the fiscal years ended March
31, 2007 and 2006 was 41.9% and 41.3%, respectively. Our effective tax rate
differs from the statutory tax rate primarily as a result of state income taxes.

    The increase in Bookstore Division revenues was attributable to the addition
of acquired bookstores (defined by us as stores acquired since April 1, 2004).
The new bookstores provided an additional $28.4 million of revenue in the fiscal
year ended March 31, 2006. The Company defines same store sales for fiscal year
2006 as sales from any store, even if expanded or relocated, that has a full
twelve months of sales in both fiscal year 2006 and fiscal year 2005. Same store
sales were unchanged from the prior fiscal year with relatively small changes in
all significant revenue categories, including textbooks and clothing and
insignia wear. The decrease in Textbook Division revenues was due primarily to
an increase in sales returns along with a 1.8% decrease in units sold, which
were partially offset by a 3.7% increase in the average price per book sold. We
believe that unit sales are down for the fiscal year primarily due to a decrease
in the number of units purchased in the December of 2004 and May of 2005 student
book buys, which supplied the peak selling periods in fiscal year 2006.
Complementary Services Division revenues decreased primarily due to the decision
by the distance education program's largest customer to gradually discontinue
the use of our services for delivery of education materials. Revenues from that
customer program declined $6.0 million, while overall revenues from the distance
education program declined $8.5 million. The decrease in distance education
program revenues was partially offset by an increase of $1.4 million in revenues
in our systems and consulting services businesses. Corresponding to the overall
growth in the number of company owned college bookstores, our intercompany
transactions also increased which reduces consolidated revenues.

    GROSS PROFIT. Gross profit for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2006
increased $7.7 million, or 4.8%, to $169.2 million from $161.5 million for the
fiscal year ended March 31, 2005. This increase was primarily due to higher
revenues, along with a slightly higher gross margin percent. Gross margin
percent was 40.3% for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2006 as compared to 40.2%
for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2005, as a slight decline in the Bookstore
Division was offset by small increases in the Textbook and Complementary
Services Divisions.

    SELLING, GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES. Selling, general and
administrative expenses for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2006 increased $7.5
million, or 7.4%, to $108.0 million from $100.5 million for the fiscal year
ended March 31, 2005. Selling, general and administrative expenses as a
percentage of revenues were 25.7% and 25.0% for the fiscal years ended March 31,
2006 and 2005, respectively. The increase in selling, general and administrative
expenses is primarily attributable to our continued growth which prompted an
increase of $3.4 million in personnel costs, $1.4 million in advertising
expense, and $2.0 million in rent.

    Bookstore Division EBITDA improved primarily as a result of the
aforementioned increase in revenues, offset in part by a slight decline in gross
margin percentage and a slight increase in selling, general and administrative
expenses as a percentage of revenues. The decrease in EBITDA in the Textbook
Division is primarily attributable to the decline in revenues and a slight
increase in selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of
revenues, offset in part by a slight increase in gross margin percentage.
Complementary Services Division EBITDA decreased primarily due to the reduced
revenues in the distance education program, resulting in an EBITDA decline in
that division of $0.8 million, which was partially offset by a $0.4 million
improvement in EBITDA results in the systems business. Corporate Administration
EBITDA decreased by $0.4 million, primarily as a result of the bonus to be paid
to Restricted Stock Plan participants as reimbursement for federal, state and
local taxes related to the March 31, 2006 issuance of 4,200 shares of NBC
Holdings Corp. capital stock under the Restricted Stock Plan and this cash
bonus.

    EBITDA is defined as earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and
amortization. As we are highly-leveraged and as our equity is not
publicly-traded, management believes that a non-GAAP financial measure, EBITDA,
is useful in measuring our liquidity and provides additional information for
determining our ability to meet debt service requirements. The Senior
Subordinated Notes, Senior Discount Notes, and Senior Credit Facility also
utilize EBITDA, as defined in those agreements, for certain financial covenants.
EBITDA does not represent and should not be considered as an alternative to net
cash flows from operating activities as determined by GAAP, and EBITDA does not
necessarily indicate whether cash flows will be sufficient for cash
requirements. Items excluded from EBITDA, such as interest, taxes, depreciation
and amortization, are significant components in understanding and assessing our
financial performance. EBITDA measures presented may not be comparable to
similarly titled measures presented by other registrants.

        accounts payable, accrued employee compensation and benefits, accrued
        incentives, accrued expenses, deferred revenue, and other long-term
        liabilities.

    AMORTIZATION EXPENSE. Amortization expense for the fiscal year ended March
31, 2006 increased $0.5 million, or 6.1%, to $8.8 million from $8.3 million for
the fiscal year ended March 31, 2005, primarily due to amortization on
non-compete agreements arising from acquisitions occurring in fiscal years 2005
and 2006.

    INTEREST EXPENSE, NET. Interest expense, net for the fiscal year ended March
31, 2006 increased $3.0 million, or 9.8%, to $34.1 million from $31.1 million
for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2005, primarily due to an approximate 2.0%
increase in the average interest rate on the Term Loan and a $0.6 million
increase in original issue debt discount amortization on the Senior Discount
Notes, offset by higher interest income and a $0.5 million gain on the interest
rate swap agreement.

    INCOME TAXES. Income tax expense for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2006
decreased $1.8 million, or 24.3%, to $5.5 million from $7.3 million for the
fiscal year ended March 31, 2005. Our effective tax rate was 41.3% and 43.6% for
the fiscal years ended March 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively. Our effective tax
rate differs from the statutory tax rate primarily as a result of state income
taxes. Effective state income tax rates were lower in fiscal year 2006, in part
due to state income tax savings resulting from the separate incorporation of NBC
Textbooks LLC on January 1, 2005.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ESTIMATES

    Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
Operations discusses our consolidated financial statements, which have been
prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the
United States of America. The preparation of these consolidated financial
statements requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the
reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent
assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and
the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. On an
on-going basis, we evaluate our estimates and judgments, including those related
to returns, bad debts, inventory valuation and obsolescence, intangible assets,
rebate programs, income taxes, and contingencies and litigation. We base our
estimates and judgments on historical experience and on various other factors
that management believes to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results
of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets
and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results
may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. We
believe the following critical accounting policies, among others, affect our
more significant judgments and estimates used in the preparation of our
consolidated financial statements:

    REVENUE RECOGNITION. We recognize revenue from Textbook Division sales at
the time of shipment. We have established a program which, under certain
conditions, enables our customers to return textbooks. We record reductions to
revenue and costs of sales for the estimated impact of textbooks with return
privileges which have yet to be returned to the Textbook Division. Additional
reductions to revenue and costs of sales may be required if the actual rate of
returns exceeds the estimated rate of returns. The estimated rate of returns is
determined utilizing actual historical return experience.

    BAD DEBTS. We maintain allowances for doubtful accounts for estimated losses
resulting from the inability of our customers to make required payments. In
determining the adequacy of the allowance, we analyze the aging of the
receivable, the customer's financial position, historical collection experience,
and other economic and industry factors. If the financial condition of our
customers were to deteriorate, resulting in an impairment of their ability to
make payments, additional allowances may be required.

    INVENTORY VALUATION. Our Bookstore Division values new textbook and
non-textbook inventories at the lower of cost or market using the retail
inventory method. Under the retail inventory method, the valuation of
inventories at cost and the resulting gross margins are calculated by applying a
calculated cost-to-retail ratio to the retail value of inventories. The retail
inventory method is an averaging method that has been widely used in the retail
industry due to its practicality. Inherent in the retail inventory method
calculation are certain significant management judgments and estimates which
impact the ending inventory valuation at cost as well as the resulting gross
margins. Changes in the fact patterns underlying such management judgments and
estimates could ultimately result in adjusted inventory costs.

    INVENTORY OBSOLESCENCE. We account for inventory obsolescence based upon
assumptions about future demand and market conditions. If actual future demand
or market conditions are less favorable than those projected by us, inventory
write-downs may be required. In determining inventory adjustments, we consider
amounts of inventory on hand, projected demand, new editions, and industry
factors.

    GOODWILL AND INTANGIBLE ASSETS. We evaluate the impairment of the carrying
value of our goodwill and identifiable intangibles in accordance with applicable
accounting standards, including Statements of Financial Accounting Standards No.
86, ACCOUNTING FOR THE COSTS OF COMPUTER SOFTWARE TO BE SOLD, LEASED, OR
OTHERWISE MARKETED; No. 142, GOODWILL AND OTHER INTANGIBLE ASSETS; and No. 144,
IMPAIRMENT OF LONG-LIVED ASSETS. In accordance with such standards, we evaluate
impairment on goodwill and certain identifiable intangibles annually and
evaluate impairment on all intangibles whenever events or changes in
circumstances indicate that the carrying amounts of such assets may not be
recoverable. Our evaluation of impairment is based on a combination of our
projection of estimated future cash flows and other valuation methodologies. We
are required to make certain assumptions and estimates regarding the fair value
of intangible assets when assessing such assets for impairment. We are also
required to make certain assumptions and estimates when assigning an initial
value to covenants not to compete arising from bookstore acquisitions. Changes
in the fact patterns underlying such assumptions and estimates could ultimately
result in the recognition of impairment losses on intangible assets. Our
acquisitions of college bookstores result in the application of purchase
accounting to our balance sheet as of the transaction date. In certain
circumstances, Company management performs valuations where appropriate to
determine the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed. The
goodwill in such transactions is determined by calculating the difference
between the purchase price and the fair value of net assets acquired.

                                       27
<PAGE>

    INCOME TAXES. We account for income taxes by recording taxes payable or
refundable for the current fiscal year and deferred tax assets and liabilities
for future tax consequences of events that have been recognized in our
consolidated financial statements or the consolidated income tax returns.
Significant judgment is required in determining the provision for income taxes
and related accruals, deferred tax assets, and deferred tax liabilities. In the
ordinary course of business, there are transactions and calculations where the
ultimate tax outcome is uncertain. Additionally, the consolidated income tax
returns are subject to audit by various tax authorities. Although we believe
that our estimates are reasonable, actual results could differ from these
estimates resulting in a final tax outcome that may be materially different from
that which is reflected in the consolidated financial statements.

    DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS. We utilize derivative financial
instruments, from time to time, to manage the risk that changes in interest
rates will affect the amount of our future interest payments on our variable
rate debt. If written documentation designating the derivative financial
instrument as a hedge is not in place at inception of the instrument or if the
critical terms of the derivative financial instrument do not match the critical
terms of the variable rate debt being hedged, we would be required to recognize
changes in the fair value of the portion of the derivative financial instrument
not qualifying for hedge accounting immediately in earnings.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

FINANCING ACTIVITIES

    Effective March 30, 2007, certain amendments were made to the Credit
Agreement to, among other things, increase the Revolving Credit Facility from
$65.0 million to $85.0 million and modify the definition of EBITDA to exclude
certain one time charges recorded in fiscal year 2007 for purposes of the debt
covenant calculations. The additional availability of borrowings under the
Revolving Credit Facility will allow us to continue to pursue opportunities to
expand our chain of bookstores across the country. The modifications to the
Credit Agreement resulted in the payment of $0.2 million in costs associated
with such modifications, which were capitalized as debt issue costs to be
amortized to interest expense over the remaining life of the Revolving Credit
Facility.

    Effective April 26, 2006, certain amendments were made to the Credit
Agreement to allow for the acquisition of CBA, including adding an incremental
$24.0 million of borrowings under the Term Loan, increasing amounts available
under the Revolving Credit Facility from $50.0 million to $65.0 million, and
amending certain restrictions and financial covenants. The additional Term Loan
borrowings were utilized to help finance the purchase of all of CBA's
outstanding stock, repay CBA's outstanding long-term bank indebtedness, and
provide funding for the payment of transaction costs and other liabilities
associated with the acquisition. CBA's long-term bank indebtedness, revolving
credit facility balance, and the corresponding accrued interest repaid on May 1,
2006 totaled $14.4 million. The modifications to the Credit Agreement resulted
in the payment of $0.8 million in costs associated with such modifications,
which were capitalized as debt issue costs to be amortized to interest expense
over the remaining life of the debt instruments.

    Effective August 1, 2005, the Credit Agreement was amended to provide for,
among other things, (i) a twelve-month deferral of a scheduled increase in the
minimum consolidated interest coverage ratio covenant and (ii) a change in the
definition of consolidated EBITDA to exclude up to $4.0 million in charges to be
incurred under the NBC Holdings Corp. 2005 Restricted Stock Plan. Debt issue
costs incurred in conjunction with this amendment of $0.2 million were
capitalized. Additional debt issue costs of $0.6 million in fiscal year 2005
pertained to an October 20, 2004 amendment to the Credit Agreement (to provide,
among other things, for a temporary $10.0 million incremental revolving credit
facility through June 30, 2005) and remaining financing costs associated with
the March 4, 2004 Transaction.

    In November 2006, two bookstore locations were acquired, the property leases
for which have been classified as capital leases. These leases expire in fiscal
year 2012 and contain multiple options to renew every five years. The capital
lease obligations and corresponding property recorded at inception of the leases
totaled $1.1 million.

    Our primary liquidity requirements are for debt service under the Senior
Credit Facility, the Senior Subordinated Notes, the Senior Discount Notes, and
other outstanding indebtedness, for working capital, for capital expenditures
and for certain acquisitions. We have historically funded these requirements
primarily through internally generated cash flows and funds borrowed under NBC's
Revolving Credit Facility. At March 31, 2007, our total indebtedness was
approximately $445.1 million, consisting of a $197.0 million Term Loan, $175.0
million of Senior Subordinated Notes, $69.5 million of Senior Discount Notes,
and $3.6 million of other indebtedness, including capital lease obligations.

                                       28
<PAGE>

    Principal and interest payments under the Senior Credit Facility, the Senior
Subordinated Notes, and the Senior Discount Notes represent significant
liquidity requirements for us. Under the terms of the Senior Credit Facility's
Term Loan, NBC is scheduled to make principal payments totaling approximately
$1.9 million in fiscal year 2008, $2.0 million in fiscal years 2009-2010, and
$191.1 million in fiscal year 2011. These scheduled principal payments are
subject to change upon the annual payment and application of excess cash flows
(as defined in the Credit Agreement underlying the Senior Credit Facility), if
any, towards the Term Loan principal balances. There is no excess cash flow
obligation for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2007. An excess cash flow payment
of $1.7 million for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2006 was made in September
of 2006. Principal payments on long-term debt for the fiscal year ended March
31, 2005 included $25.9 million in untendered notes related to the March 4, 2004
Transaction which were called for redemption on March 4, 2004 and redeemed on
April 3, 2004.

    Loans under the Senior Credit Facility bear interest at floating rates based
upon the borrowing option selected by NBC. On July 15, 2005, NBC entered into an
interest rate swap agreement to essentially convert a portion of the variable
rate Term Loan into debt with a fixed rate of 6.844% (4.344% plus an applicable
margin as defined in the Credit Agreement). This agreement was effective as of
September 30, 2005. The Senior Subordinated Notes require semi-annual interest
payments at a fixed rate of 8.625% and mature on March 15, 2012. The Senior
Discount Notes require semi-annual cash interest payments commencing September
15, 2008 at a fixed rate of 11.0% and mature on March 15, 2013.

INVESTING CASH FLOWS

    Our capital expenditures were $6.5 million, $7.3 million, and $7.7 million
for the fiscal years ended March 31, 2007, 2006, and 2005, respectively. Capital
expenditures consist primarily of leasehold improvements and furnishings for new
bookstores, bookstore renovations, computer upgrades and miscellaneous warehouse
improvements. Our ability to make capital expenditures is subject to certain
restrictions under the Senior Credit Facility, including an annual limitation on
capital expenditures made in the ordinary course of business. The annual
limitation for fiscal year 2007 was $12.7 million.

    Business acquisition and contract-management renewal expenditures were $25.9
million, $10.8 million, and $20.2 million for the fiscal years ended March 31,
2007, 2006, and 2005, respectively. On May 1, 2006, we acquired 101 college
bookstore locations, 98 of which were contract-managed, through the acquisition
of all of the outstanding stock of CBA. The total purchase price, net of cash
acquired, of this stock acquisition was $18.8 million. Additionally, during the
fiscal year ended March 31, 2007, we also acquired another seventeen bookstore
locations in sixteen separate transactions. During the fiscal year ended March
31, 2006, we acquired thirteen bookstore locations in eleven separate
transactions. For the fiscal year ended March 31, 2005, we acquired nine
bookstore locations in seven separate transactions. Our ability to make
acquisition expenditures is subject to certain restrictions under the Senior
Credit Facility.

    In conjunction with the March 4, 2004 Transaction, certain of the notes
under the former 8.75% senior subordinated notes and the former 10.75% senior
discount debentures were not tendered by the holders, but were instead called
for redemption on March 4, 2004 and redeemed on April 3, 2004. Such redemption,
including payment of interest and call premiums, was funded through $27.1
million of restricted cash held in escrow.

    During the fiscal year ended March 31, 2007, we capitalized $0.7 million in
software development costs associated with new software products and
enhancements to existing software products utilized solely for internal
purposes.

OPERATING CASH FLOWS

    Our principal sources of cash to fund our future operating liquidity needs
will be cash from operating activities and borrowings under the Revolving Credit
Facility. Usage of the Revolving Credit Facility to meet our liquidity needs
fluctuates throughout the fiscal year due to our distinct buying and selling
periods, increasing substantially at the end of each college semester (May and
December). For the fiscal year ended March 31, 2007, weighted-average borrowings
under the Revolving Credit Facility approximated $15.7 million, with actual
borrowings ranging from a low of no borrowings to a high of $59.0 million. Net
cash flows from operating activities for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2007
were $27.5 million, an increase of $4.9 million from $22.6 million for the
fiscal year ended March 31, 2006. This increase in cash flows from operations
was in large part due to the significant growth being experienced in our
Bookstore Division, primarily resulting from the CBA acquisition. Net cash flows
from operating activities for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2006 were $22.6
million, a decrease of $4.6 million from $27.2 million for the fiscal year ended


                                       29
<PAGE>

March 31, 2005. This decrease in cash flows from operations was partly
attributable to a $4.6 million increase in income taxes paid primarily resulting
from a $4.5 million refund of fiscal year 2004 estimated tax payments received
in fiscal year 2005 which related mainly to expenses incurred in connection with
the March 4, 2004 Transaction.

COVENANT RESTRICTIONS

    Access to our principal sources of cash is subject to various restrictions
and compliance with specified financial ratios and tests, including minimum
interest coverage ratios, maximum leverage ratios, and minimum fixed charge
coverage ratios. The availability of additional borrowings under the Revolving
Credit Facility is subject to the calculation of a borrowing base, which at any
time is equal to a percentage of eligible accounts receivable and inventory, up
to a maximum of $85.0 million. The Senior Credit Facility restricts NBC's
ability to make loans or advances and pay dividends, except that, among other
things, NBC may pay dividends to the Company (i) in an amount not to exceed the
amount of interest required to be paid on the Senior Discount Notes and (ii) to
pay corporate overhead expenses not to exceed $250,000 per fiscal year and any
taxes owed by the Company. The indenture governing the Senior Discount Notes
restricts the ability of the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries (as defined
in the indenture) to pay dividends or make other Restricted Payments (as defined
in the indenture) to their respective stockholders, subject to certain
exceptions, unless certain conditions are met, including that (i) no default
under the indenture shall have occurred and be continuing, (ii) the Company
shall be permitted by the indenture to incur additional indebtedness and (iii)
the amount of the dividend or payment may not exceed a certain amount based on,
among other things, the Company's consolidated net income. The indenture
governing the Senior Subordinated Notes contains similar restrictions on the
ability of NBC and its Restricted Subsidiaries (as defined in the indenture) to
pay dividends or make other Restricted Payments (as defined in the indenture) to
their respective stockholders. Such restrictions are not expected to affect our
ability to meet our cash obligations for the next twelve months.

    In accordance with such covenant restrictions, NBC declared and paid $0.1
million in dividends to the Company during fiscal year 2005 for costs associated
with the March 4, 2004 Transaction.

SOURCES OF AND NEEDS FOR CAPITAL

    As of March 31, 2007, NBC could borrow up to $48.3 million under the
Revolving Credit Facility. The Revolving Credit Facility was unused at March 31,
2007. Amounts available under the Revolving Credit Facility may be used for
working capital and general corporate purposes (including up to $10.0 million
for letters of credit), subject to certain limitations under the Senior Credit
Facility, including an annual limitation on capital expenditures made in the
ordinary course of business.

    We believe that funds generated from operations, existing cash, and
borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility will be sufficient to finance our
current operations, any required excess cash flow payments, cash interest
requirements, planned capital expenditures and internal growth for the next
twelve months. Future acquisitions, if any, may require additional debt or
equity financing.

    On September 30, 2005, NBC Holdings Corp., a Delaware corporation and the
Company's parent, and the Company memorialized their understanding that with
respect to each option granted by NBC Holdings Corp., pursuant to its 2004
Option Plan, the Company has granted, and will continue to grant, an option to
purchase an equivalent number of shares of its common stock at the same exercise
price to NBC Holdings Corp. On March 31, 2006, NBC Holdings Corp. and the
Company memorialized their understanding that with respect to each share of
capital stock issued by NBC Holdings Corp., pursuant to its 2005 Restricted
Stock Plan, the Company has issued, and will continue to issue, an equivalent
number of shares of its common stock at the same purchase price per share to NBC

     (1)  Interest on the variable rate debt is estimated based upon implied
          forward rates in the yield curve at March 31, 2007, as adjusted for
          the impact of the interest rate swap agreement in place as of March
          31, 2007.

     (2)  Interest is not estimated on the line of credit due to uncertainty
          surrounding the timing and extent of usage of the line of credit.

     (3)  Balance includes $7,488,308 of remaining original issue discount
          amortization on the Senior Discount Notes at March 31, 2007.

IMPACT OF INFLATION

    Our results of operations and financial condition are presented based upon
historical costs. While it is difficult to accurately measure the impact of
inflation due to the imprecise nature of the estimates required, we believe that
the effects of inflation, if any, on our results of operations and financial
condition have not been material. However, there can be no assurance that during
a period of significant inflation, our results of operations will not be
adversely affected.

ACCOUNTING STANDARDS NOT YET ADOPTED

    In February 2007, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 159, THE FAIR VALUE OPTION FOR
FINANCIAL ASSETS AND FINANCIAL LIABILITIES INCLUDING AN AMENDMENT OF FASB
STATEMENT NO. 115. This statement permits entities to choose to measure many
financial instruments and certain other items at fair value, thereby mitigating
volatility in reported earnings caused by measuring related assets and
liabilities differently. This Statement becomes effective for us in fiscal year
2009 and is not expected to have a material impact on our consolidated financial
statements.

                                       31
<PAGE>

    In September 2006, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards No. 157, FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS. This Statement defines fair value,
establishes a framework for measuring fair value, and expands disclosures about
fair value measurements. This Statement becomes effective for us in fiscal year
2009 and is not expected to have a material impact on our consolidated financial
statements.

     In July 2006, the FASB issued Interpretation No. 48, ACCOUNTING FOR
UNCERTAINTY IN INCOME TAXES. This Interpretation clarifies the accounting for
uncertainty in income taxes recognized in a company's financial statements and
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. This Interpretation also provides guidance on
derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim
periods, disclosure, and transition. This Interpretation becomes effective for
us in fiscal year 2008. We are reviewing this Interpretation and have not yet
determined the impact, if any, on the consolidated financial statements.

"SAFE HARBOR" STATEMENT UNDER THE PRIVATE SECURITIES LITIGATION REFORM ACT OF
1995

    This Annual Report on Form 10-K contains or incorporates by reference
certain statements that are not historical facts, including, most importantly,
information concerning possible or assumed future results of our operations and
statements preceded by, followed by or that include the words "may," "believes,"
"expects," "anticipates," or the negation thereof, or similar expressions, which
constitute "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of the Private
Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 (the "Reform Act"). All statements
which address operating performance, events or developments that are expected or
anticipated to occur in the future, including statements relating to volume and
revenue growth, earnings per share or EBITDA growth or statements expressing
general optimism or pessimism about future results of operations, are
forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Reform Act. Such
forward-looking statements involve risks, uncertainties and other factors which
may cause our actual performance or achievements to be materially different from
any future results, performances or achievements expressed or implied by such
forward-looking statements. For those statements, we claim the protection of the
safe harbor for forward-looking statements contained in the Reform Act. Several
important factors could affect our future results and could cause those results
to differ materially from those expressed in the forward-looking statements
contained herein. Such factors include, but are not limited to, the following:
increased competition from other companies that target our markets and from
alternative media and alternative sources of textbooks for students; digital or
other educational content sold directly to students; increased competition for
the purchase and sale of used textbooks from student to student transactions;
our inability to successfully acquire or contract-manage additional bookstores
or to integrate those additional stores; our inability to cost-effectively
maintain or increase the number of contract-managed stores; our inability to
purchase a sufficient supply of used textbooks; changes in pricing of new and/or
used textbooks; changes in publisher activities related to new editions and
materials packaged with new textbooks; the loss or retirement of key members of
management; the impact of seasonality of the wholesale and bookstore operations;
increases in our cost of borrowing or our inability to raise additional debt or
equity capital; changes in general economic conditions and/or in the markets in
which we compete or may, from time to time, compete; and other risks detailed in
our Securities and Exchange Commission filings, in particular in this Annual
Report on Form 10-K, all of which are difficult or impossible to predict
accurately and many of which are beyond our control. We will not undertake and
specifically decline any obligation to publicly release the result of any
revisions which may be made to any forward-looking statements to reflect events
or circumstances after the date of such statements or to reflect the occurrence
of anticipated or unanticipated events.

      ITEM 7A. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK.

    Our primary market risk exposure is, and is expected to continue to be,
fluctuation in variable interest rates. Of the $445.1 million in total
indebtedness outstanding at March 31, 2007, approximately $197.0 million is
subject to fluctuations in the Eurodollar interest rate. As provided in the
Senior Credit Facility, exposure to interest rate fluctuations is managed by
maintaining fixed interest rate debt (primarily the Senior Subordinated Notes
and Senior Discount Notes) and by entering into interest rate swap agreements
that qualified as cash flow hedging instruments to convert certain variable rate
debt into fixed rate debt. On July 15, 2005, NBC entered into an interest rate
swap agreement, which became effective on September 30, 2005. The notional
amount under the interest rate swap agreement at March 31, 2007 was $140.0
million and will decrease periodically to $130.0 million, expiring on September
30, 2008.

    The following table presents quantitative information about our market risk
sensitive instruments (the weighted-average variable rates are based on implied
forward rates in the yield curve at March 31, 2007):

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of
NBC Acquisition Corp.
Lincoln, Nebraska

    We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of NBC
Acquisition Corp. and subsidiary as of March 31, 2007 and 2006, and the related
consolidated statements of operations, stockholders' equity, and cash flows for
each of the three years in the period ended March 31, 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. The Company is not
required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal
control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal
control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that
are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an
opinion on the effectiveness of the Company's internal control over financial
reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes
examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in
the financial statements, 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, such consolidated financial statements present fairly, in
all material respects, the financial position of NBC Acquisition Corp. and
subsidiary as of March 31, 2007 and 2006, and the results of their operations
and their cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended March 31,
2007 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United
States of America.

NBC ACQUISITION CORP.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

A.  NATURE OF OPERATIONS

    NBC Acquisition Corp. (the "Company") does not conduct significant
activities apart from its investment in Nebraska Book Company, Inc. ("NBC").
Operational matters discussed in this report, including the acquisition of
college bookstores and other related businesses, refer to operations of NBC.
References to "the Company" and "NBC" are used interchangeably when discussing
such operational matters. NBC participates in the college bookstore industry
primarily by operating its own college bookstores, by providing used textbooks
to college bookstore operators, by providing distance education products and
services, and by providing proprietary college bookstore information and
E-commerce systems, consulting services, and other services. On March 4, 2004,
Weston Presidio formed NBC Holdings Corp. and acquired the controlling interest
in the Company through a series of steps which resulted in Weston Presidio
owning a substantial majority of the Company's common stock (referred to as the
"March 4, 2004 Transaction").

B.  SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

    The significant accounting policies of the Company and its subsidiary are as
follows:

    PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION: The consolidated financial statements include
the accounts of the Company and NBC. All intercompany accounts and transactions
are eliminated in consolidation.

    REVENUE RECOGNITION: The Company's revenue recognition policies, by
reporting segment, are as follows:

        BOOKSTORE DIVISION - The Bookstore Division's revenues consist primarily
        of the sale of new and used textbooks, as well as a variety of other
        merchandise including apparel, general books, sundries, and gift items.
        Such sales occur primarily "over-the-counter" with revenues being
        recognized at the point of sale.

        TEXTBOOK DIVISION - The Textbook Division recognizes revenue from the
        sale of used textbooks when title passes (at the time of shipment), net
        of estimated product returns. The Textbook Division has established a
        program which, under certain conditions, enables its customers to return
        the used textbooks. The effect of this program is estimated utilizing
        actual historical return experience and revenues are adjusted
        accordingly.

        COMPLEMENTARY SERVICES DIVISION - Complementary Services Division
        revenues come from a variety of sources, including the sale of distance
        education materials, the sale of computer hardware and software (and
        licensing thereof), software maintenance contracts, membership fees, and
        a variety of services provided to college bookstores. Revenues from the
        sale of distance education materials and computer hardware/software (and
        licensing thereof) are recognized at the time of delivery. Software
        maintenance contracts and membership fees are generally invoiced to the
        customer annually, with the revenues being deferred and recognized on a
        straight-line basis over the term of the contract. Revenues from the
        various services provided to college bookstores are recognized once
        services have been rendered.

    SHIPPING AND HANDLING FEES AND COSTS: Amounts billed to a customer for
shipping and handling have been classified as revenues in the consolidated
statements of operations and approximated $3.3 million, $3.2 million, and $4.0
million for the fiscal years ended March 31, 2007, 2006, and 2005, respectively.
Shipping and handling costs are included in operating expenses in the
consolidated statements of operations and approximated $7.4 million, $7.4
million, and $8.4 million for the fiscal years ended March 31, 2007, 2006, and
2005, respectively.

    SALES TAX COLLECTIONS: Sales tax collected from customers and remitted to
the applicable taxing authorities is accounted for by the Company on a net
basis, with no impact on revenues and any differences between amount collected
and amount remitted being recorded in selling, general and administrative
expenses.

    ADVERTISING: Advertising costs are expensed as incurred and approximated
$7.3 million, $5.9 million, and $4.5 million for the fiscal years ended March
31, 2007, 2006, and 2005, respectively.

    USE OF 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
revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ
from the estimates.

                                       41

    CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS: Cash and cash equivalents consist of cash on hand
and in the bank as well as short-term investments with maturities of three
months or less when purchased.

    INVENTORIES: Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market.
Inventories for the Textbook Division are determined on the weighted-average
cost method. The Company's Bookstore Division values new textbook and
non-textbook inventories using the retail inventory method. Other inventories
are determined on the first-in, first-out cost method.

    PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT: Property and equipment are stated at cost.
Depreciation is determined using the straight-line method. The majority of
property and equipment have useful lives of one to seven years, with the
exception of buildings which are depreciated over 39 years and leasehold
improvements which are depreciated over the remaining life of the corresponding
lease, or the useful life, if shorter. The Company does not consider renewal
options for the determination of the amortization period for leasehold
improvements unless renewal is considered reasonably assured at the inception of
the lease.

    GOODWILL: Goodwill arose as a result of the March 4, 2004 Transaction and
the acquisition of bookstore operations subsequent thereto. Goodwill is not
amortized but rather tested at least annually for impairment. The test for
impairment of goodwill is a two-step process that identifies potential
impairment and then measures the amount of such impairment to be recorded in the
consolidated financial statements. There were no impairment losses recognized
during the periods presented.

    IDENTIFIABLE INTANGIBLES - CUSTOMER RELATIONSHIPS: The identifiable
intangible asset for customer relationships is attributable to the
non-contractual long-term relationships the Company has established over the
years with customers in its Textbook and Complementary Services Divisions. This
identifiable intangible is amortized on a straight-line basis over an estimated
useful life of 20 years. There were no impairment losses recognized during the
periods presented.

    IDENTIFIABLE INTANGIBLES - TRADENAMES: The identifiable intangible asset for
tradenames relates to the trademark owned on the name "Nebraska Book Company"
and the corresponding logo. This identifiable intangible has an indefinite
useful life; and, thus, is not amortized but rather tested at least annually for
impairment. The test for impairment of identifiable intangibles with indefinite
useful lives consists of comparing the fair value of the identifiable intangible
with its carrying amount, recognizing any excess carrying value as an impairment
loss. There were no impairment losses recognized during the periods presented.

                                       42
<PAGE>

    IDENTIFIABLE INTANGIBLES - DEVELOPED TECHNOLOGY: The Company's primary
activities regarding the internal development of software revolve around its
proprietary college bookstore information systems (PRISM and WinPRISM) and
E-commerce technology (WebPRISM), which are utilized by the Company's Bookstore
Division and also marketed to the general public. As this software developed
internally is intended for both internal use and sale to external customers, the
Company adheres to the guidance in Statement of Financial Accounting Standards
("SFAS") No. 86, ACCOUNTING FOR THE COSTS OF COMPUTER SOFTWARE TO BE SOLD,
LEASED, OR OTHERWISE MARKETED as required by Statement of Position 98-1,
ACCOUNTING FOR THE COSTS OF COMPUTER SOFTWARE DEVELOPED OR OBTAINED FOR INTERNAL
USE.

    Development costs included in the research and development of new software
products and enhancements to existing software products associated with the
Company's proprietary college bookstore information systems and E-commerce
technology are expensed as incurred until technological feasibility has been
established. After technological feasibility is established, additional
development costs are capitalized and amortized on a straight-line basis over
the lesser of six years or the economic life of the related product.
Recoverability of such capitalized costs is evaluated based upon estimates of
future undiscounted cash flows. There were no impairment losses recognized
during the periods presented.

    Development costs also include the development of new software products and
enhancements to existing software products utilized solely for internal
purposes. Such costs are expensed until the preliminary project stage is
completed and the project has been authorized by management, at which point
subsequent costs are capitalized until the project is substantially complete and
ready for its intended use. These costs, which totaled $0.7 million for the
fiscal year ended March 31, 2007, are amortized on a straight-line basis over a
period of six years.

    Amortization of the capitalized costs associated with developed technology
totaled $1.9 million, $1.9 million, and $1.9 million for the fiscal years ended
March 31, 2007, 2006, and 2005, respectively.

    IDENTIFIABLE INTANGIBLES - COVENANTS NOT TO COMPETE: The identifiable
intangible asset for covenants not to compete represents the value assigned to
such agreements, which are typically entered into with the owners of college
bookstores acquired by the Company. This identifiable intangible is amortized on
a straight-line basis over the term of the agreement, which ranges from 3 to 15
years.

    IDENTIFIABLE INTANGIBLES - CONTRACT-MANAGED ACQUISITION COSTS: The
identifiable intangible asset for contract-managed acquisition costs represents
up front payments made to institutions that contract with NBC to manage the
on-campus bookstore. This identifiable intangible is amortized on a
straight-line basis over the term of the agreement, which ranges from 1 to 15
years.

    DEBT ISSUE COSTS: The costs related to the issuance of debt are capitalized
and amortized to interest expense using the effective interest method over the
lives of the related debt. Accumulated amortization of such costs as of March
31, 2007 and 2006 was approximately $5.4 million and $3.5 million, respectively.

    DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS: Interest rate swap agreements are utilized
by the Company to reduce exposure to fluctuations in the interest rates on NBC's
variable rate debt. Such agreements are recorded in the consolidated balance
sheet at fair value. Changes in the fair value of the agreements are recorded in
earnings or other comprehensive income (loss), based on whether the agreements
are designated as part of the hedge transaction and whether the agreements are
effective in offsetting the change in the value of the interest payments
attributable to NBC`s variable rate debt.

    FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS: The carrying amounts of financial
instruments including cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, and
accounts payable approximate fair value as of March 31, 2007 and 2006, because
of the relatively short maturity of these instruments. The fair value of
long-term debt, including the current maturities, was approximately $444.4
million and $395.0 million as of March 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively, as
determined by quoted market values and prevailing interest rates for similar
debt issues. The fair value of the interest rate swap agreement, which was
"in-the-money" and totaled $1.3 million and $2.8 million as of March 31, 2007
and 2006, respectively, is determined by calculating the net present value of
estimated future payments between NBC and its counterparty.

    SHARE-BASED COMPENSATION: On April 1, 2006, the Company adopted SFAS No. 123
(revised 2004), SHARE-BASED PAYMENT ("SFAS No. 123R"). SFAS No. 123R focuses
primarily on accounting for transactions in which an entity obtains employee
services in share-based payment transactions and requires an entity to, in most
cases, measure the cost of such services based on the grant-date fair value of
the award. This Statement is a revision of SFAS No. 123, ACCOUNTING FOR
STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION ("SFAS No. 123"), and supersedes Accounting Principles
Board ("APB") Opinion No. 25, ACCOUNTING FOR STOCK ISSUED TO EMPLOYEES, thereby
eliminating the intrinsic value method of accounting for share-based
compensation by the Company for transactions occurring after March 31, 2006.

    The Company accounts for its share-based compensation arising from
transactions occurring prior to April 1, 2006 under the provisions of APB
Opinion No. 25, ACCOUNTING FOR STOCK ISSUED TO EMPLOYEES and related
interpretations utilizing the intrinsic value method. Under this method,
compensation expense is recorded on the date of grant only if the current market
price of the underlying stock exceeds the exercise price. SFAS No. 123
established accounting and disclosure requirements using a fair-value-based
method of accounting for share-based employee compensation plans. For purposes
of measuring share-based compensation, the Company is considered a nonpublic
entity as defined in SFAS No. 123R. As allowed by SFAS No. 123, the Company
elected to continue to apply the intrinsic-value-based method of accounting for
options granted prior to April 1, 2006 and utilized the minimum value method for
pro forma disclosure of the impact of SFAS No. 123 prior to the adoption of SFAS
No. 123R.

    UNVESTED STOCK: Under the NBC Holdings Corp. 2005 Restricted Stock Plan,
4,200 shares of NBC Holdings Corp. capital stock may be and were issued on March
31, 2006 for $0.01 per share to certain officers and directors of the Company.
Certain restrictions limit the sale or transfer of these shares (as more fully
described in Note N to the consolidated financial statements). Such shares are
subject to both call rights on behalf of NBC Holdings Corp. and put rights on
behalf of the officers and directors once vested (as more fully described in
Note N to the consolidated financial statements). The shares vest on September
30, 2010 (the "vesting date"). Due to the existence of the put rights,
share-based compensation will be accrued from March 31, 2006 until the vesting
date and recorded as "other long-term liabilities" in the consolidated balance
sheets.

    INCOME TAXES: The Company provides for deferred income taxes based upon
temporary differences between financial statement and income tax bases of assets
and liabilities, and tax rates in effect for periods in which such temporary
differences are estimated to reverse.

    EARNINGS PER SHARE: Basic earnings per share data are based on the
weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted
earnings per share data are based on the weighted-average number of common
shares outstanding and the dilutive effect of potential common shares including
stock options, if any.

    COMPREHENSIVE INCOME (LOSS): Comprehensive income (loss) includes net income
and other comprehensive income (losses). Other comprehensive income (losses)
consists of unrealized gains (losses) on the interest rate swap agreement, net
of taxes.

    ACCOUNTING STANDARDS NOT YET ADOPTED: In February 2007, the Financial
Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards No. 159, THE FAIR VALUE OPTION FOR FINANCIAL ASSETS AND FINANCIAL
LIABILITIES INCLUDING AN AMENDMENT OF FASB STATEMENT NO. 115. This statement
permits entities to choose to measure many financial instruments and certain
other items at fair value, thereby mitigating volatility in reported earnings
caused by measuring related assets and liabilities differently. This Statement
becomes effective for the Company in fiscal year 2009 and is not expected to
have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

    In September 2006, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards No. 157, FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS. This Statement defines fair value,
establishes a framework for measuring fair value, and expands disclosures about
fair value measurements. This Statement becomes effective for the Company in
fiscal year 2009 and is not expected to have a material impact on its
consolidated financial statements.

     In July 2006, the FASB issued Interpretation No. 48, ACCOUNTING FOR
UNCERTAINTY IN INCOME TAXES. This Interpretation clarifies the accounting for
uncertainty in income taxes recognized in a company's financial statements and
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. This Interpretation also provides guidance on
derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim
periods, disclosure, and transition. This Interpretation becomes effective for
the Company in fiscal year 2008. Management is reviewing this Interpretation and
has not yet determined the impact, if any, on the consolidated financial
statements.

     RECLASSIFICATION: Contract-managed acquisition costs have been reclassified
in prior period consolidated financial statements from Other Assets to
Identifiable Intangibles to conform to current fiscal year presentation. This
reclassification was made due to the increasing significance of such costs,
which is due in large part to the acquisition of College Book Stores of America,
Inc. ("CBA").

F.  GOODWILL AND OTHER IDENTIFIABLE INTANGIBLES

    As discussed in Note A, on March 4, 2004 Weston Presidio acquired the
controlling interest in the Company through a series of steps which resulted in
Weston Presidio owning a substantial majority of the Company's common stock. The
March 4, 2004 Transaction was accounted for as a purchase at NBC Holdings Corp.
with the related purchase accounting pushed-down to the Company and NBC as of
the date of the transaction. The excess of the purchase price over the
historical basis of the net assets acquired was applied to adjust net assets to
their fair values, as determined in part using an independent third-party
appraisal. The allocation of the excess purchase price included establishing
identifiable intangibles for customer relationships of $114.8 million and
tradename of $31.3 million; adjusting the carrying value of developed technology
at March 4, 2004 to a fair value of $11.4 million; and adjusting the carrying
value of goodwill at March 4, 2004 to a fair value of $269.1 million, of which
$25.3 million is deductible for income tax purposes. The weighted-average
amortization period for the identifiable intangibles subject to amortization is
18.7 years, including 20 years for customer relationships and 6 years for
developed technology.

    On May 1, 2006, NBC acquired 101 college bookstore locations, most of which
are contract-managed, through the acquisition of all of the outstanding stock of
CBA. The total purchase price, net of cash acquired, of this stock acquisition
was approximately $18.8 million, of which approximately $15.5 million was
assigned to non tax-deductible goodwill, $0.6 million was assigned to covenants
not to compete with amortization periods of up to fifteen years, and $1.0
million was assigned to contract-managed acquisition costs with amortization
periods of up to eight years based on the preliminary purchase price allocation.

    Additionally, for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2007, another seventeen
bookstore locations were acquired in sixteen separate transactions. The total
purchase price, net of cash acquired, of such acquisitions was $6.4 million, of
which $3.1 million was assigned to tax-deductible goodwill, $0.5 million was
assigned to covenants not to compete with amortization periods of three years,
and $0.4 million was assigned to contract-managed acquisition costs with
amortization periods of up to four years based on the preliminary purchase price
allocations.

    Finally, NBC incurred $0.6 million in contract-managed acquisition costs
with amortization periods of up to eleven years associated with renewals of
certain contract-managed locations during the fiscal year ended March 31, 2007.

    The changes in the carrying amount of goodwill for the fiscal years ended
March 31, 2007 and 2006, in total and by reportable segment, are as follows:

     Goodwill assigned to corporate administration represents the goodwill
arising out of the March 4, 2004 Transaction, as all goodwill was assigned to
corporate administration. As is the case with a portion of the Company's assets,
such goodwill is not allocated between the Company's reportable segments when
management makes operating decisions and assesses performance. Such goodwill is
allocated to the Company's reporting units for purposes of testing goodwill for
impairment and calculating any gain or loss on the disposal of all or a portion
of a reporting unit.

    Indebtedness at March 31, 2007 includes an amended and restated
bank-administered senior credit facility (the "Senior Credit Facility") provided
to NBC through a syndicate of lenders, consisting of a $204.0 million term loan
(the "Term Loan", which includes both the original March 4, 2004 loan of $180.0
million and the April 26, 2006 incremental loan of $24.0 million) and an $85.0
million revolving credit facility (the "Revolving Credit Facility"); $175.0
million of 8.625% senior subordinated notes (the "Senior Subordinated Notes")
issued by NBC; $77.0 million of 11.0% senior discount notes (the "Senior
Discount Notes") issued at a discount of $27.0 million, and capital leases. The
Revolving Credit Facility expires on March 4, 2009. Availability under the
Revolving Credit Facility is determined by the calculation of a borrowing base,
which at any time is equal to a percentage of eligible accounts receivable and
inventory, up to a maximum of $85.0 million. The calculated borrowing base at
March 31, 2007 was approximately $48.3 million. The Revolving Credit Facility
was unused at March 31, 2007.

    The interest rate on the Senior Credit Facility Term Loan is prime plus an
applicable margin of up to 1.5% or, on Eurodollar borrowings, the Eurodollar
interest rate plus an applicable margin of up to 2.5%. The Revolving Credit
Facility interest rate is prime plus an applicable margin of up to 1.75% or, on
Eurodollar borrowings, the Eurodollar interest rate plus an applicable margin of
up to 2.75%. Additionally, there is a 0.5% commitment fee for the average daily
unused amount of the Revolving Credit Facility. The average borrowings under the
Revolving Credit Facility for the fiscal years ended March 31, 2007 and 2006
were approximately $15.7 million and $7.0 million at an average rate of 9.2% and
7.8%, respectively.

    The Senior Credit Facility is collateralized by substantially all of the
Company's assets. The Senior Credit Facility also stipulates that excess cash
flows as defined in the credit agreement dated February 13, 1998 (the "Credit
Agreement"), as most recently amended on March 30, 2007 and most recently
restated on March 4, 2004, shall be applied towards prepayment of the Term Loan.
There is no excess cash flow obligation for the fiscal year ended March 31,
2007. The estimated excess cash flow payment for fiscal year 2006 of $1.7
million included in "current maturities of long-term debt" in the consolidated
balance sheet as of March 31, 2006 was paid on September 29, 2006.

                                       48

    The Senior Credit Facility requires NBC to maintain certain financial ratios
and contains a number of other covenants that among other things, restrict the
ability to incur additional indebtedness, dispose of assets, make capital
expenditures, make loans or advances and pay dividends, except that, among other
things, NBC may pay dividends to the Company (i) in an amount not to exceed the
amount of interest required to be paid on the Senior Discount Notes and (ii) to
pay corporate overhead expenses not to exceed $250,000 per year and any taxes
owed by the Company. NBC was compliant with such covenants at March 31, 2007.

    The Senior Subordinated Notes pay cash interest semi-annually and mature on
March 15, 2012. The Senior Discount Notes, which mature on March 15, 2013,
accrete in value at the rate of 11.0% compounded semi-annually through March 15,
2008, with semi-annual cash interest payments commencing September 15, 2008.

    The indenture governing the Senior Discount Notes restricts the ability of
the Company and its restricted subsidiaries (as defined in the indenture) to pay
dividends or make other restricted payments (as defined in the indenture) to
their respective stockholders, subject to certain exceptions, unless certain
conditions are met, including that (i) no default under the indenture shall have
occurred and be continuing, (ii) the Company shall be permitted by the indenture
to incur additional indebtedness and (iii) the amount of the dividend or payment
may not exceed a certain amount based on, among other things, the Company's
consolidated net income. The indenture governing the Senior Subordinated Notes
contains similar restrictions on the ability of NBC and its restricted
subsidiaries (as defined in the indenture) to pay dividends or make other
restricted payments (as defined in the indenture) to their respective
stockholders.

    Effective March 30, 2007, certain amendments were made to the Credit
Agreement to, among other things, increase the Revolving Credit Facility from
$65.0 million to $85.0 million and modify the definition of EBITDA to exclude
certain one time charges recorded in fiscal year 2007 for purposes of the debt
covenant calculations. The additional availability of borrowings under the
Revolving Credit Facility will allow for the continued pursuit of opportunities
to expand NBC's chain of bookstores across the country. The modifications to the
Credit Agreement resulted in the payment of $0.2 million in costs associated
with such modifications, which were capitalized as debt issue costs to be
amortized to interest expense over the remaining life of the Revolving Credit
Facility.

    Effective April 26, 2006, certain amendments were made to the Credit
Agreement to allow for the acquisition of CBA, including adding an incremental
$24.0 million of borrowings under the Term Loan, increasing amounts available
under the Revolving Credit Facility from $50.0 million to $65.0 million, and
amending certain restrictions and financial covenants. The additional Term Loan
borrowings were utilized to help finance the purchase of all of CBA's
outstanding stock, repay CBA's outstanding long-term bank indebtedness, and
provide funding for the payment of transaction costs and other liabilities
associated with the acquisition. CBA's long-term bank indebtedness, revolving
credit facility balance, and the corresponding accrued interest repaid on May 1,
2006 totaled $14.4 million. The modifications to the Credit Agreement resulted
in the payment of $0.8 million in costs associated with such modifications,
which were capitalized as debt issue costs to be amortized to interest expense
over the remaining life of the debt instruments.

    At March 31, 2007, the aggregate maturities of long-term debt for the next
five fiscal years were as follows:

         Fiscal
          Year
        ---------

H.  LEASES AND OTHER COMMITMENTS

    In conjunction with two bookstores acquired in June of 2001, one bookstore
acquired in March of 2003, one bookstore acquired in April of 2004 and two
bookstores acquired in November of 2006, NBC entered into bookstore facility
leases that qualified as capital leases. Such leases expire at various dates
through fiscal year 2014 and contain options to renew for periods of up to ten
years. Capitalized leased property included in property and equipment was
approximately $2.6 million at March 31, 2007, net of accumulated depreciation.

                                       49

    The Company leases bookstore facilities and data processing equipment under
noncancelable operating leases expiring at various dates through fiscal year
2018, many of which contain options to renew for periods of up to ten years.
Certain of the leases are based on a percentage of sales, ranging from 0.0% to
13.0%.

    Future minimum capital lease payments and aggregate minimum lease payments
under noncancelable operating leases for the fiscal years ending March 31 are as

I.  DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

    SFAS No. 133, ACCOUNTING FOR DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS AND HEDGING ACTIVITIES,
as amended, requires that all derivative instruments be recorded in the balance
sheet at fair value. Changes in the fair value of derivatives are recorded in
earnings or other comprehensive income (loss), based on whether the instrument
is designated as part of a hedge transaction and, if so, the type of hedge
transaction. The Company utilizes derivative financial instruments to manage the
risk that changes in interest rates will affect the amount of its future
interest payments on its variable rate debt.

                                       50
<PAGE>

    The Company's primary market risk exposure is, and is expected to continue
to be, fluctuation in variable interest rates. As provided in the Senior Credit
Facility, exposure to interest rate fluctuations is managed by maintaining fixed
interest rate debt (primarily the Senior Subordinated Notes and Senior Discount
Notes) and by entering into interest rate swap agreements that qualify as cash
flow hedging instruments to convert certain variable rate debt into fixed rate
debt. NBC has a three-year amortizing interest rate swap agreement whereby a
portion of the variable rate Term Loan is converted into debt with a fixed rate
of 6.844% (4.344% plus an applicable margin as defined in the Credit Agreement).
This agreement expires on September 30, 2008. Notional amounts under the
agreement are reduced periodically. General information regarding the Company's
exposure to fluctuations in variable interest rates is presented in the
following table:
                                                         March 31,

Variable interest rate, including

  Term Loan                                           7.88%           6.70%

     Effective September 30, 2005, the interest rate swap agreement qualified as
a cash flow hedge instrument as the following criteria were met:

     (1)  Formal documentation of the hedging relationship and NBC's risk
          management objective and strategy for undertaking the hedge were in
          place.

     (2)  The interest rate swap agreement is expected to be highly effective in
          offsetting the change in the value of the hedged portion of the
          interest payments attributable to the Term Loan.

    NBC estimates the effectiveness of the interest rate swap agreement
utilizing the hypothetical derivative method. Under this method, the fair value
of the actual interest rate swap agreement is compared to the fair value of a
hypothetical swap agreement that has the same critical terms as the portion of
the Term Loan being hedged. The critical terms of the interest rate swap
agreement are identical to the portion of the Term Loan being hedged as of March
31, 2007. To the extent that the agreement is not considered to be highly
effective in offsetting the change in the value of the interest payments being
hedged, the fair value relating to the ineffective portion of such agreement and
any subsequent changes in such fair value will be immediately recognized in
earnings as "gain or loss on derivative financial instruments". To the extent
that the agreement is considered highly effective but not completely effective
in offsetting the change in the value of the interest payments being hedged, any
changes in fair value relating to the ineffective portion of such agreement will
be immediately recognized in earnings as "interest expense".

    Under hedge accounting, interest rate swap agreements are reflected at fair
value in the balance sheet and the related gains or losses on these agreements
are generally recorded in stockholders' equity, net of applicable income taxes
(as "accumulated other comprehensive income (loss)"). Gains or losses recorded
in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) are reclassified into earnings
as an adjustment to interest expense in the same periods in which the related
interest payments being hedged are recognized in earnings. Except as described
below, the net effect of this accounting on the Company's consolidated results
of operations will be that interest expense on a portion of the Term Loan is
generally being recorded based on fixed interest rates until the interest rate
swap agreement expires on September 30, 2008.

    In accordance with NBC's Risk Management Policy, the current interest rate
swap agreement was intended as a hedge against certain future interest payments
under the Term Loan from the agreement's inception on July 15, 2005. However,
formal documentation designating the interest rate swap agreement as a hedge
against certain future interest payments under the Term Loan was not put in
place until September 30, 2005 (the effective date of the interest rate swap
agreement). As a result, the interest rate swap agreement did not qualify as a
cash flow hedge until September 30, 2005. Accordingly, the $0.7 million increase
in the fair value of the interest rate swap agreement from inception to


                                       51
<PAGE>

September 30, 2005 was recognized in earnings as a "gain on derivative financial
instruments". Changes in the fair value of this portion of the interest rate
swap agreement are also recognized as a "gain (loss) on derivative financial
instruments" in the consolidated statements of operations. Subsequent to
September 30, 2005, the change in fair value of a September 30, 2005
hypothetical swap is recorded, net of income taxes, in "accumulated other
comprehensive income" in the consolidated balance sheets. Changes in the fair
value of the interest rate swap agreement are reflected in the consolidated
statements of cash flows as either "gain (loss) on derivative financial
instruments" or as "noncash investing and financing activities".

    Information regarding the fair value of the interest rate swap agreement
designated as a hedging instrument is presented in the following table:

fiscal year taxes paid arising out of certain amended state income tax returns.

L.  RETIREMENT PLANS

    The Company's subsidiary participates in and sponsors a 401(k) compensation
deferral plan. The plan covers substantially all employees. The plan provisions
include employee contributions based on a percentage of compensation along with
a Company contribution in addition to a limited matching feature. NBC's
contributions for the fiscal years ended March 31, 2007, 2006, and 2005 were
$2.0 million, $1.4 million, and $1.2 million, respectively.

    When NBC acquired CBA on May 1, 2006, CBA had an Employee Stock Ownership
Plan (the "Plan"). NBC acquired all the issued and outstanding shares of CBA
stock owned by the Plan. The Plan was frozen and converted to a profit sharing
plan pending receipt of a favorable determination letter from the Internal
Revenue Service that the Plan termination will not adversely affect the Plan's
tax qualified status. The Plan continues to be administered as a qualified plan.
There have been no contributions to the Plan since May 1, 2006, and there will
be no future contributions to this Plan. Upon receipt of the determination
letter, partial distributions of Plan assets will begin with final distribution
expected to occur in January of 2011. The Plan assets, which are not included in
the Company's consolidated financial statements, have been invested by the
trustee, primarily in fixed income investments.

M. DEFERRED COMPENSATION

    The Company has a non-qualified deferred compensation plan for selected
employees. This plan allows participants to voluntarily elect to defer portions
of their current compensation. The amounts can be distributed upon either death
or voluntary/involuntary resignation or termination. Interest is accrued at the
prime rate adjusted semi-annually on January 1 and July 1 and is compounded as
of March 31. The liability for the deferred compensation is included in other
long-term liabilities and approximated $0.3 million as of March 31, 2007 and
2006.

N.  SHARE-BASED COMPENSATION

    In conjunction with the March 4, 2004 Transaction, NBC Holdings Corp.
established the 2004 Stock Option Plan. On September 29, 2005, NBC Holdings
Corp. adopted the NBC Holdings Corp. 2005 Restricted Stock Plan to provide for
the sale of NBC Holdings Corp. capital stock to certain officers and directors
of the Company. Details regarding each of the plans are as follows:

    2004 STOCK OPTION PLAN - This plan, established by NBC Holdings Corp.,
provides for the granting of options to purchase 81,306 shares of NBC Holdings
Corp. capital stock to selected employees, officers, and employee directors of
the Company and its affiliates. Additional shares may be issued upon changes in
the capitalization of the Company and upon approval of a committee designated by
the Company's Board of Directors ("the Committee"). All options granted are
intended to be nonqualified stock options, although the plan also provides for
incentive stock options. This plan provides for the granting of options at the
discretion of the Committee. Vesting schedules of options may vary and are
determined at the time of grant by the Committee. Subject to certain exceptions,
stock options granted under this plan are to be granted at an exercise price of
not less than fair market value on the date the options are granted and expire
ten years from the date of grant. At March 31, 2007, there were 4,917 options
available for grant under this plan.

    No share-based compensation expense was recognized at the time of grant for
the options granted to employees in the fiscal years ended March 31, 2006 and
2005, as the exercise price was greater than or equal to the estimated fair
value (including a discount for the holder's minority interest position and
illiquidity of NBC Holdings Corp.'s capital stock) of NBC Holdings Corp.'s
capital stock on the date of grant.

    A summary of the Company's share-based compensation activity related to
stock options for the 2004 Stock Option Plan for the fiscal year ended March 31,
2007, is as follows:

    2005 RESTRICTED STOCK PLAN - This plan provides for the issuance of shares
of restricted stock for consideration to individuals determined by NBC Holdings
Corp.'s Board of Directors. Any shares issued under the plan are subject to
restrictions on transferability and a right of NBC Holdings Corp. to reacquire
such shares at less than their then fair market value under certain conditions.

    On March 31, 2006, 4,200 shares of NBC Holdings Corp. capital stock were
issued for $0.01 per share to each of three officers and directors of the
Company (the "Officers") pursuant to a Restricted Stock Purchase Agreement (the
"RSPA"). The Officers are party to the Stockholders Agreement, dated March 4,
2004, by and among NBC Holdings Corp. and the Stockholders of NBC Holdings Corp.
named therein, the provisions of which restrict the transfer of such shares and
provide for certain other rights as detailed therein. The shares granted to the
Officers are also each subject to a Stock Repurchase Agreement (the "SRA") that,
among other things, provides for vesting, certain call rights on behalf of NBC
Holdings Corp., and certain put rights on behalf of the applicable Officer.

    The vesting provisions in each SRA provide that if the Officer is still
employed by NBC Holdings Corp., the shares granted vest on September 30, 2010
(the "Vesting Date"). If the Officer is not employed by NBC Holdings Corp. on
that date the shares do not vest except under certain conditions related to
termination of his employment without "cause" (as defined in the SRA) or due to
his death or disability. If the Officer is terminated without cause prior to the
Vesting Date, the shares vest based upon a formula determined by the number of
days from March 31, 2006 to the date of termination as a percentage of the
number of days from March 31, 2006 to the Vesting Date. If a termination without
cause before the Vesting Date follows a Change of Control (as defined in the
SRA), all of the Officer's shares become immediately vested.

    The call rights provide NBC Holdings Corp. the right to reacquire each
Officer's unvested shares upon the occurrence of certain events, including
events under its control, for an aggregate purchase price of $1.00. If the
Officer remains employed by the Company until the Vesting Date or is terminated
without cause prior to such date, NBC Holdings Corp. has the right but not the
obligation to call the vested shares at fair market value (minus any dividends
or distributions paid in respect of such shares) subject to certain adjustments
and any restrictions or limitations in the Company's debt covenants and NBC's
Credit Agreement. The call rights expire 30 days after the Vesting Date.

    The put rights enable the Officer to require NBC Holdings Corp. to
repurchase all vested shares following the Vesting Date at the lesser of fair
market value or effectively $1.0 million for such Officer's 1,400 shares,
subject to certain adjustments and any restrictions or limitations in the
Company's debt covenants and NBC's Credit Agreement. The put rights expire 90
days after the Vesting Date. The SRA also provides that NBC Holdings Corp. will
pay a cash bonus to the Officer related to any vested shares that are
repurchased in connection with the put. This bonus is intended to reimburse the
Officer for any federal, state and local taxes related to the repurchase and to
this cash bonus itself. The bonus will not be paid if such payment is restricted
or limited by the Company's debt covenants or NBC's Credit Agreement.

    In connection with the NBC Holdings Corp. 2005 Restricted Stock Plan, NBC
also entered into a Restricted Stock Special Bonus Agreement (the "SBA") with
each Officer. Each SBA provides for the payment of a cash bonus to the Officer
within 30 days following the Vesting Date based upon certain criteria (the
"Special Bonus"). If the Officer is still employed by the Company on that date,
or has been terminated without "cause" (as defined in the SBA) following a
Change of Control (as defined in the SBA) prior to that date, the amount is
calculated as effectively $1.0 million less the fair market value of his
restricted stock, subject to certain adjustments. If, prior to the Vesting Date,


                                       55
<PAGE>

the Officer has been terminated without cause prior to a Change in Control, the
amount of the Special Bonus is adjusted based on the number of days from March
31, 2006 to the date of termination as a percentage of the number of days from
March 31, 2006 to the Vesting Date, subject to certain adjustments. In either
case, the Special Bonus will not be paid if such payment is restricted or
limited by the Company's debt covenants or NBC's Credit Agreement. The SBA also
provides that in the event of payment of the Special Bonus, NBC will pay an
additional cash bonus to the Officer in an amount sufficient to reimburse the
Officer for any federal, state and local taxes related to the Special Bonus and
this additional bonus itself.

    The combination of the NBC Holdings Corp. 2005 Restricted Stock Plan, the
RSPA, the SRA and the SBA is intended to provide a minimum compensation benefit
of $1.0 million to each of the Officers assuming that they remain employed by
NBC through September 30, 2010 - all subject to certain adjustments and
conditions related to the Company's debt covenants and NBC's Credit Agreement -
as described above.

    Due to the put rights on behalf of the Officers, share-based compensation
will be remeasured at the end of each reporting period and accrued to a minimum
of $3.0 million plus anticipated cash bonuses to be paid to reimburse the
Officers for any federal, state and local taxes thereon from the date of
issuance of the restricted stock until September 30, 2010 and recorded as "other
long-term liabilities" in the consolidated balance sheets. At March 31, 2007,
this liability totaled $1.0 million.

    During fiscal year 2006, NBC also accrued $0.5 million for bonuses intended
to reimburse the Officers for the federal, state and local taxes related to the
issuance of the 4,200 shares at $0.01 per share and this cash bonus.

O.  SEGMENT INFORMATION

    The Company's operating segments are determined based on the way that
management organizes the segments for making operating decisions and assessing
performance. Management has organized the Company's operating segments based
upon differences in products and services provided. The Company has three
operating segments: Bookstore Division, Textbook Division, and Complementary
Services Division. The Bookstore and Textbook Divisions qualify as reportable
operating segments, while separate disclosure of the Complementary Services
Division is provided as management believes that information about this
operating segment is useful to the readers of the Company's consolidated
financial statements. The Bookstore Division segment encompasses the operating
activities of the Company's college bookstores located on or adjacent to college
campuses. The Textbook Division segment consists primarily of selling used
textbooks to college bookstores, buying them back from students or college
bookstores at the end of each college semester and then reselling them to
college bookstores. The Complementary Services Division segment includes
book-related services such as distance education materials, computer hardware
and software, E-commerce technology, and a centralized buying service.

    The Company primarily accounts for intersegment sales as if the sales were
to third parties (at current market prices). Certain assets, net interest
expense and taxes (excluding interest and taxes incurred by NBC's wholly-owned
subsidiaries, NBC Textbooks LLC, CBA, and Specialty Books, Inc.) are not
allocated between the Company's segments; instead, such balances are accounted
for in a corporate administrative division.

    EBITDA is the measure of segment profit or loss utilized by the Chief
Executive Officer (chief operating decision maker) in making decisions about
resources to be allocated to operating segments and assessing operating segment
performance.

    (A) EVALUATION OF DISCLOSURE CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES. Our management, with
the participation of our chief executive officer and treasurer (our principal
executive officer and principal financial officer), evaluated the effectiveness
of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and
15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) as of March 31, 2007. This evaluation was
performed to determine if our disclosure controls and procedures were effective,
in that they are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by
us in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded,
processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the
Securities and Exchange Commission's rules and forms, including ensuring that
such information is accumulated and communicated to management, including our
chief executive officer and treasurer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions
regarding required disclosure. Based on this evaluation, our chief executive
officer and treasurer concluded that, as of March 31, 2007, our disclosure
controls and procedures were effective.

     (B) CHANGES IN INTERNAL CONTROLS. There were no changes in our internal
control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f)
under the Exchange Act) which occurred during the quarter ended March 31, 2007
that materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our

AUDIT COMMITTEE

    Our audit committee currently consists of Mark L. Bono and R. Sean Honey.
Among other functions, our audit committee (a) makes recommendations to our
board of directors regarding the selection of independent auditors; (b) reviews
the results and scope of the audit and other services provided by our
independent auditors; (c) reviews our financial statements; and (d) reviews and
evaluates our internal control functions. The Board of Directors has determined
that the audit committee does not have an "audit committee financial expert" as
that term is defined by the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities
and Exchange Commission. However, the Board of Directors is satisfied that the
members of our audit committee have sufficient expertise and business and
financial experience necessary to effectively perform their duties as the audit
committee.

CODE OF ETHICS

    We have adopted a written code of ethics for our principal executive officer
and senior financial officers as required by the United States Securities and
Exchange Commission, or SEC, under Section 406 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of
2002. The code sets forth written standards to deter wrongdoing and promote
honest and ethical conduct, accurate and timely disclosure in reports and
documents, compliance with applicable governmental laws and regulations, prompt
internal reporting of violations of the code, and accountability for adherence
to the code.


                        ITEM 11. EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION.

    The following tables and paragraphs provide information concerning
compensation paid for the last three fiscal years to NBC's Chief Executive
Officer, Chief Financial Officer, and three other most highly compensated senior
executive officers (each, an "Executive") earning in excess of $100,000 in total
compensation as defined in Regulation S-K, subpart 229.402(a)(3), including
compensation discussion and analysis, summary compensation table, employment
agreements, outstanding equity awards, nonqualified deferred compensation,
potential payments upon termination or change in control, compensation of
directors, compensation committee interlocks and insider participation, and
compensation committee report.

COMPENSATION DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

    COMPENSATION PHILOSOPHY. Our compensation programs are intended to attract
and retain vital employees and to properly incent high level talent to work for
and ultimately add value to the Company for the benefit of the shareholders.

    COMPENSATION COMMITTEE AND COMPENSATION PROCESS. We do not have a formal
Compensation Committee; however, the two directors affiliated with Weston
Presidio, the majority equity owner of NBC Holdings Corp. (our parent company),
act to approve the chief executive officer base salary compensation, our budget,
and all stock option or other equity awards. All other decisions related to
compensation are approved by our chief executive officer and chief operating
officer as appropriate.

    EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION COMPONENTS. Components of our Executive compensation
include base salary, bonus, stock option and other equity awards, severance
benefits, health insurance, disability and life insurance, and various other
insurance coverages as described in further detail below. The following is a
brief description of each principal element of compensation:

     1)   BASE SALARY. Base salaries are intended to compensate the Executives
          and all other salaried employees for their basic services performed
          for us on an annual basis. In setting base salaries, we take into
          account the Executive's experience, the functions and responsibilities
          of the job, and any other factors relevant to that particular job.
          Base salaries are typically adjusted annually by our chief executive
          officer and chief operating officer; however, we do not limit
          ourselves to this schedule. The chief executive officer's base salary
          is approved by Messrs. Bono and Honey of the Board of Directors.

     2)   BONUS PLAN. We use our executive bonus plan to incent each Executive
          on an annual basis. Bonuses for each Executive are initially
          determined by a preset percentage of the Executive's salary based upon
          attainment of goals related to our consolidated EBITDA compared to
          budget. Such goals may be revised for material unbudgeted events.
          Typically the minimum percentage needed to qualify for a bonus is 93%
          of budgeted EBITDA, and the maximum bonus amounts are achieved at 110%
          of budgeted EBITDA. Such initial calculated amounts are then adjusted
          by our chief executive officer and chief operating officer based upon
          non-quantifiable criteria in evaluating job performance.

     3)   STOCK OPTION AND OTHER EQUITY AWARDS. We utilize nonqualified stock
          options and other equity awards to incent the Executives to remain
          with us and to maximize long-term value for our shareholders. We have
          generally awarded stock options on an annual basis to each Executive
          based upon informal performance measures. Generally, we must achieve
          at least 93% of the budgeted EBITDA before options are granted.
          Messrs. Bono and Honey receive a recommendation from our chief
          executive officer regarding the number of stock options to be granted
          to each Executive and then adjust such recommendation as they consider
          appropriate. In addition, in March 2006, upon the approval of the
          entire Board of Directors, our chief executive officer, chief
          financial officer, and chief operating officer were each issued 1,400
          shares of Restricted Stock for $0.01 per share. This issuance of
          shares was designed to incent those named Executives to remain with us
          until at least September 30, 2010. Since this issuance of Restricted
          Stock, these named Executives have not received any further grants of
          stock options.

     4)   SEVERANCE PLANS. Each Executive has signed a memorandum of
          understanding under which they may be paid severance of up to (i) one
          year of base salary, (ii) pro rata bonuses and (iii) continuation of
          health, life and disability benefits for up to 12 months if they are
          terminated without cause (as defined in those agreements).

     5)   OTHER BENEFITS. We maintain health, dental and vision insurance plans
          for the benefit of eligible employees, including the Executives. The
          health and dental plans require the employee to pay a portion of the
          premium and we pay the remainder. The vision plan premium is paid in
          its entirety by the employee. We also maintain a 401(k) retirement
          plan that is available to all eligible employees. We currently match
          elective employee-participant contributions on the basis of 100% of
          the employee's contribution up to 5% of their total compensation.
          Certain amounts of life, accidental death and dismemberment, and short
          and long-term disability insurance coverage is also offered to all
          eligible employees and premiums or costs are paid in full by us.
          Certain other voluntary insurance coverages are available to eligible
          employees, such as supplemental life, cancer and personal accident
          insurance with the entire premium paid by the employee. The foregoing
          benefits are available to each Executive on the same basis as all
          other eligible employees.

    We do not have a policy regarding the adjustment or recovery of compensation
if the results on which that compensation was determined are restated or
otherwise adjusted.

     (1)  Represents share-based compensation recognized in connection with the
          1,400 shares of restricted stock issued to each of Messrs. Oppegard,
          Siemek, and Major on March 31, 2006. Share-based compensation is being
          recognized from the date of issuance of the restricted stock through
          September 30, 2010. See Note N of the notes to the consolidated
          financial statements in Item 8, FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND SUPPLEMENTARY
          DATA.

     (2)  There were no stock options granted in fiscal 2007. As further
          discussed in Note B of the notes to the consolidated financial
          statements in Item 8, FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND SUPPLEMENTARY DATA,
          options granted prior to April 1, 2006 are accounted for under the
          provisions of APB Opinion No. 25, ACCOUNTING FOR STOCK ISSUED TO
          EMPLOYEES and related interpretations utilizing the intrinsic value
          method. Under this method, share-based compensation is recorded on the
          date of grant only if the current market price of the underlying stock
          exceeds the exercise price. No share-based compensation was recognized
          in conjunction with such grants.

     (3)  All other compensation consists of the following components: (a) in
          fiscal 2006, bonuses of $160,000 intended to reimburse each of Messrs.
          Oppegard, Siemek, and Major for the federal, state and local taxes
          related to the March 31, 2006 issuance of restricted stock and this
          cash bonus; (b) matching contributions to the NBC Retirement Plan; and
          (c) life insurance premiums paid by us on the Executive's behalf.

NARRATIVE DISCLOSURE TO SUMMARY COMPENSATION TABLE - EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENTS

   We have employment agreements with each of the Executives. As amended, such
agreements (the "Employment Agreements") with the aforementioned Executives
provide for (1) an annual base salary, (2) incentive compensation based upon the

per annum; Mr. Siemek, $206,000 per annum; Mr. Major, $276,000 per annum; Mr.
Rupe, $220,000 per annum; and Mr. Kelly, $197,000 per annum. Each of the
Employment Agreements provides that their term will be automatically extended
from year to year, unless terminated upon specified notice by either party.

   The Employment Agreements also provide that each Executive will be granted a
number of options annually under the stock option plan described in Note N to
the consolidated financial statements presented in Item 8, FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
AND SUPPLEMENTARY DATA, with the size of such grant to be determined by the
Board of Directors. Each such option shall have an exercise price not to be less
than the fair market value per share as of the date of grant and will be
exercisable as to 25% of the shares covered thereby on the date of grant and as
to an additional 25% of the shares covered thereby on each of the first three
anniversaries of the date of grant, subject to the Executive's continued
employment by us on such dates.

   The Employment Agreements also provide for specified payments to the
Executive upon the expiration of such agreements, in the event of termination of
employment with us without "cause" (as defined in the respective agreements),
and in the event of death or disability of the Executive during the term, as
outlined below:

     o    TERMINATION OF EMPLOYMENT UPON EXPIRATION OF THE TERM OF THE
          EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT - If we have given the Executive notice of our
          intention to terminate employment at the end of the term of the
          Employment Agreement, the Executive is entitled to continued payment
          of base salary and health, life insurance and disability insurance
          benefits for a period of one year following the expiration of the term
          of the Employment Agreement.

     o    TERMINATION OF EMPLOYMENT WITHOUT "CAUSE" PRIOR TO THE EXPIRATION OF
          THE TERM OF THE EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT - If we have given the Executive
          notice of our intention to terminate employment without "cause" prior
          to the end of the term of the Employment Agreement, the Executive is
          entitled to continued payment of base salary and health, life
          insurance and disability insurance benefits for a period of one year
          following the date of termination. Additionally, the Executive is
          entitled to payment of any incentive bonus when otherwise due,
          prorated through the date of termination.

     o    TERMINATION OF EMPLOYMENT UPON DEATH OR DISABILITY - If an Executive's
          employment is terminated as a result of death or disability, the
          Executive is entitled to continued payment of base salary for a period
          of six months following the date of termination. Additionally, the
          Executive is entitled to payment of any incentive bonus when otherwise
          due, prorated through the date of termination.

    The Employment Agreements also contain customary confidentiality obligations
and non-competition agreements for each Executive spanning a period of three
years from the date of termination.

   Finally, the Employment Agreements provide that the Executives will not sell,
transfer, pledge or otherwise dispose of any shares of NBC Acquisition Corp.
common stock, except for certain transfers to immediate family members, in the
event of disability and for estate planning purposes prior to the consummation
by us of an initial public offering of NBC Acquisition Corp. common stock.

     (1)  There were three separate grants of stock options at an exercise price
          of $160/option - November 9, 2004, August 29, 2005, and March 30,
          2006. Twenty-five percent of the options granted were exercisable
          immediately upon granting with the remaining options becoming
          exercisable in 25% increments over the subsequent three years. In
          connection with the March 4, 2004 Transaction, all existing options at
          March 4, 2004 vested, certain of which were cancelled in exchange for
          new options granted under the 2004 Stock Option Plan. Options granted
          in fiscal 2004 under the 2004 Stock Option Plan were fully vested and
          exercisable at prices consistent with the options which were
          cancelled.

          existence of the "put" rights, share-based compensation is being
          remeasured at the end of each reporting period and recognized from the
          date of issuance of the restricted stock through September 30, 2010.

     (1)  The Employment Agreements are silent as to how payment amounts are
          ultimately determined and how payment is to be made (i.e. - monthly,
          lump sum, etc.). Our Board of Directors would ultimately be
          responsible for approving the terms of such termination payments.

     (2)  Base salary in place at time of termination.

     (3)  It is assumed that incentive bonus earned for fiscal year 2007 was
          paid in the normal course of business. As the assumed termination does
          not fall within a fiscal year, no pro rata allocation is necessary.

     (4)  In accordance with the Stock Repurchase Agreement, if Messrs.
          Oppegard, Siemek, or Major are terminated by us without cause or by
          reason of their death or disability during the period from March 31,
          2006 to September 30, 2010, a number of the shares of Restricted Stock
          will become vested on the date of termination equal to the 1,400
          shares which were issued times the number of days from March 31, 2006
          to the date of termination divided by the number of days from March
          31, 2006 to September 30, 2010. This value represents the cumulative
          balance of share-based compensation accrued at March 31, 2007 in Other
          Long-Term Liabilities - see Note M of the notes to the consolidated
          financial statements in Item 8, FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND SUPPLEMENTARY
          Data. For purposes of this table, it is assumed that Messrs. Oppegard,
          Siemek, and Major would "put" the vested shares in accordance with the
          Stock Repurchase Agreement upon termination.

     (5)  Represents premiums paid by us on the Executive's behalf.

COMPENSATION OF DIRECTORS

   Our Directors receive no compensation for services but are reimbursed for
out-of-pocket expenses. These reimbursements are less than $10,000 annually to
each Director.

COMPENSATION COMMITTEE INTERLOCKS AND INSIDER PARTICIPATION

Although no stock options or other equity awards were granted during the last
fiscal year, Mark W. Oppegard, President/Chief Executive Officer, Secretary and
Director, participates with Messrs. Bono and Honey in deliberations concerning
stock options and other equity awards from time to time granted to the
Executives.

Discussion and Analysis above with management and has approved the inclusion of
such Compensation Discussion and Analysis in this Annual Report on Form 10-K for
the year ended March 31, 2007.

    DIRECTOR INDEPENDENCE - We are a corporation with public debt (not listed on
any exchange) whose equity is privately held. Although our Board has not made a
formal determination on the matter, under current New York Stock Exchange
listing standards (which we are not currently subject to) and taking into
account any applicable committee standards, we believe that Messrs. Oppegard and
Major would not be considered independent under any general listing standards or
those applicable to any particular committee due to their employment
relationship with us, and Messrs. Bono and Honey may not be considered
independent under any general listing standards or those applicable to any
particular committee, due to their relationship with Weston Presidio, our
largest indirect stockholder.

NBC ACQUISITION CORP. (PARENT COMPANY ONLY)

SCHEDULE I - CONDENSED FINANCIAL INFORMATION
NOTES TO CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------


A.  SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

    DUE FROM SUBSIDIARY - NBC Acquisition Corp. (the "Company") files a
consolidated federal income tax return with its wholly-owned subsidiary,
Nebraska Book Company, Inc. ("NBC") and follows a policy of recording income
taxes equal to that which would have been incurred had the Company filed a
separate return. NBC is responsible for remitting tax payments and collecting
tax refunds for the consolidated group. The non-current amount due from
subsidiary represents the cumulative tax savings resulting from operating losses
generated by the Company from which NBC derives the benefit through reduced tax
payments on the consolidated return.

    INVESTMENT IN SUBSIDIARY - The Company accounts for its investment in NBC
under the equity method of accounting. Contributions to or from NBC are included
within the investment in subsidiary.

B.  COMMITMENTS

    The Company, along with NBC's wholly-owned subsidiaries (Specialty Books,
Inc., NBC Textbooks LLC, and College Book Stores of America, Inc.), has jointly
and severally, unconditionally and irrevocably, guaranteed the prompt and
complete payment and performance by NBC of NBC's obligations underlying the
Senior Credit Facility, which matures at various dates through March 4, 2011.
Such guarantee remains in full force and effect until all obligations underlying
the Senior Credit Facility, which became effective February 13, 1998 and was
most recently amended March 30, 2007 and most recently restated on March 4,
2004, have been satisfied. The maximum potential future amounts payable under
the guarantee at March 31, 2007 totaled $197.0 million in principal payments,
plus interest, which is based on variable rates that are partially fixed through
an interest rate swap agreement. As this guarantee represents a parent's
guarantee of its subsidiary's debt to a third party, such guarantee is not
carried as a liability in the "Parent Company Only" financial statements.

C.      DIVIDENDS

    Cash dividends paid to the Company by NBC, which are reflected above in
"operating activities" in the Company's statements of cash flows, totaled $0.1
million for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2005. No cash dividends were
received from NBC in fiscal years 2007 and 2006.
