  <p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">EBITDA is included in the press
  release and represents the sum of income (loss) from continuing operations
  before cumulative effect of accounting change, net interest expense, income
  taxes, depreciation and amortization of intangible assets.&#160; Adjusted EBITDA is also included in the press
  release as it is used in calculating covenant compliance under the Company&#146;s
  credit agreements.&#160; Adjusted EBITDA is
  defined as EBITDA excluding restructuring charges and certain non-cash charges
  as well as fees on the Company&#146;s accounts receivable facility.&#160; EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are not measures
  of financial performance in accordance with accounting principles generally
  accepted in the United States of America (&#147;GAAP&#148;).&#160; You should not consider them as alternatives
  to income (loss) from continuing operations before cumulative effect of
  accounting change as a measure of operating performance.&#160; Our calculation of EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA
  may be different from the calculations used by other companies and therefore
  comparability may be limited.&#160; We
  presented EBITDA in the press release to provide additional information
  regarding our performance and because it is a measure by which the Company
  gauges its profitability.&#160; In addition,
  information concerning Adjusted EBITDA is presented in the press release
  because it reflects important components included in the financial covenant of
  the Company&#146;s credit agreements.&#160; The
  most comparable measure to EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA in accordance with GAAP
  is income (loss) from continuing operations before cumulative effect of
  accounting change.&#160; A reconciliation of
  EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA to income (loss) from continuing operations before
  cumulative effect of accounting change is included in the press release.</font></p>

  RESULTS OF OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL CONDITION
  ITEM 7.01
  REGULATION FD DISCLOSURE
  The following information is
  furnished pursuant to Item 2.02 of Form 8-K, "Results of Operations and
  Financial Condition" and Item 7.01 of Form 8-K, "Regulation FD Disclosure".
  On May 21, 2008 Vertis, Inc. (the "Company')
  announced its results of operations for the three months ended March 31,
  2008.  A copy of the press release is
  furnished as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is
  incorporated by reference.  Vertis, Inc.
  does not intend for this exhibit to be incorporated by reference into future
  filings under the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.
  EBITDA is included in the press
  release and represents the sum of income (loss) from continuing operations
  before cumulative effect of accounting change, net interest expense, income
  taxes, depreciation and amortization of intangible assets.  Adjusted EBITDA is also included in the press
  release as it is used in calculating covenant compliance under the Company's
  credit agreements.  Adjusted EBITDA is
  defined as EBITDA excluding restructuring charges and certain non-cash charges
  as well as fees on the Company's accounts receivable facility.  EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are not measures
  of financial performance in accordance with accounting principles generally
  accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP").  You should not consider them as alternatives
  to income (loss) from continuing operations before cumulative effect of
  accounting change as a measure of operating performance.  Our calculation of EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA
  may be different from the calculations used by other companies and therefore
  comparability may be limited.  We
  presented EBITDA in the press release to provide additional information
  regarding our performance and because it is a measure by which the Company
  gauges its profitability.  In addition,
  information concerning Adjusted EBITDA is presented in the press release
  because it reflects important components included in the financial covenant of
  the Company's credit agreements.  The
  most comparable measure to EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA in accordance with GAAP
  is income (loss) from continuing operations before cumulative effect of
  accounting change.  A reconciliation of
  EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA to income (loss) from continuing operations before
  cumulative effect of accounting change is included in the press release.
