1. Description of the Business and Basis of Presentation
Harland Clarke Holdings Corp. (Harland Clarke Holdings and, together with its subsidiaries,
the Company) is a holding company that conducts its operations through its direct and indirect,
wholly owned operating subsidiaries and was incorporated in Delaware on October 19, 2005. On
December 15, 2005, CA Investment Corp., an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of M & F Worldwide
Corp. (M & F Worldwide), purchased 100% of the capital stock of Novar USA Inc. (Novar). Novar
was renamed Clarke American Corp. (Clarke American) which was the successor by merger to Novar,
which indirectly wholly owned the operating subsidiaries of the Clarke American business. On May 1,
2007, the Company completed the acquisition of John H. Harland Company (Harland) and changed its
name on May 2, 2007 from Clarke American to Harland Clarke Holdings.
The Company has organized its business and corporate structure along the following three
business segments: Harland Clarke, Harland Financial Solutions and Scantron.
The Harland Clarke segment offers checks and related products, forms and treasury supplies,
and related delivery and fraud prevention products to financial services, retail and software
providers. It also provides direct marketing services to their clients including direct marketing
campaigns, direct mail, database marketing, telemarketing and e-mail marketing. In addition to
these products and services, the Harland Clarke segment offers stationery, business cards and other
business and home office products to consumers and small businesses.
The Harland Financial Solutions segment provides technology products and services to financial
services clients worldwide including lending and mortgage compliance and origination applications,
risk management solutions, business intelligence solutions, Internet and mobile banking
applications, branch automation solutions, self-service solutions, electronic payment solutions and
core processing systems.
The Scantron segment provides data management solutions and related services to educational,
commercial, healthcare and governmental entities worldwide including testing and assessment
solutions, patient information collection and tracking, and survey services. Scantrons solutions
combine a variety of data collection, analysis, and management tools including web-based solutions,
software, scanning equipment, forms and related field maintenance services.
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its
majority-owned subsidiaries after the elimination of all material intercompany accounts and
transactions. The Company has consolidated the results of operations and accounts of businesses
acquired from the date of acquisition.
The Company and each of its existing subsidiaries, other than unrestricted subsidiaries and
certain immaterial subsidiaries are guarantors and may also be co-issuers under the 2015 Senior
Notes (as hereinafter defined) (see Note 11). Harland Clarke Holdings is a holding company and has
no independent assets at March 31, 2011 and no operations. The guarantees and the obligations of
the subsidiaries of the Company are full and unconditional and joint and several, and any
subsidiaries of the Company other than the subsidiary guarantors and obligors are not significant.
See Note 3 for information regarding recent acquisitions.
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States for interim financial information and with the
instructions for Form 10-Q and Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all
of the information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United
States for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting
of normal recurring adjustments) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included.
The results of operations for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results that
may be expected for the full fiscal year. These consolidated financial statements should be read in
conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes included in the
Companys Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010.
All terms used but not defined elsewhere herein have the meaning ascribed to them in the
Companys 2010 Annual Report on Form 10-K.
2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Reference is made to the significant accounting policies of the Company described in the notes
to the consolidated financial statements included in the Companys Annual Report on Form 10-K for
the year ended December 31, 2010.

Harland Clarke Holdings Corp. and Subsidiaries
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued)
(dollars in millions)
(unaudited)
Use of Estimates
The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally
accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the
amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ
from those estimates.
Reclassifications
Certain amounts in previously issued financial statements have been reclassified to conform to
the presentation of the consolidated financial statements in the first quarter of 2011. These
reclassifications had no effect on previously reported net income.
Specifically, certain revenues for the Harland Clarke segment previously reported as product
revenues, net along with related cost of products sold in 2010 were reclassified to service
revenues, net and cost of services provided to enable comparability with the presentation of the
consolidated statements of income for 2011. Reclassifications for product revenues, net and service
revenues, net were also made in Note 7 for the Harland Clarke segment.
Recently Adopted Accounting Guidance
Effective January 1, 2011, the Company adopted new guidance for multiple-deliverable revenue
arrangements and certain arrangements that include software elements. The new guidance for
multiple-deliverable revenue arrangements requires entities to allocate revenue in an arrangement
within the scope of the guidance using estimated selling prices based on a selling price hierarchy.
It also eliminates the residual method of revenue allocation and requires revenue to be allocated
using the relative selling price method. Application of the new guidance did not have a material
effect on the Companys financial statements.
The new guidance for certain arrangements that include software elements removes non-software
components of tangible products and software components of tangible products that have software
components essential to the functionality of the tangible product from the scope of software
revenue recognition. The majority of the Companys software arrangements are not tangible products
with software components. Application of the new guidance did not have a material effect on the
Companys financial statements.
3. Acquisitions
Acquisition of GlobalScholar
On January 3, 2011, Scantron Corporation (Scantron), a wholly owned subsidiary of the
Company, purchased all of the outstanding capital stock or membership interests of KUE Digital
Inc., KUED Sub I LLC and KUED Sub II LLC (collectively referred to as GlobalScholar).
GlobalScholars instructional management platform supports all aspects of managing education at
K-12 schools, including student information systems; performance-based scheduler; gradebook;
learning management system; longitudinal data collection, analysis and reporting; teacher
development and performance tracking; and online communication and tutoring portals.
GlobalScholars instructional management platform complements Scantrons testing and assessment,
response to intervention, student achievement management and special education software solutions
thereby expanding Scantrons web-based education solutions. The acquisition-date purchase price was
$134.9 in cash, net of cash acquired and after giving effect to working capital adjustments. In
addition, the Company recorded the fair value of contingent consideration of $18.5, as described
below, which resulted in total consideration of $153.4. Contingent consideration would be payable
in 2012 upon achievement of certain revenue targets of GlobalScholar during calendar year 2011. The
transaction was accounted for as a business combination and GlobalScholars results of operations
have been included in the Companys operations since the date of its acquisition.

(unaudited)
The preliminary allocation of purchase price resulted in identified intangible assets of $92.3
and goodwill of $93.1. The goodwill arises because the total consideration for GlobalScholar, which
reflects its future earnings and cash flow potential, exceeds the fair value of the net assets
acquired. The goodwill resulting from the acquisition was assigned to the Scantron segment. Of the
goodwill recognized, $5.2 is expected to be deductible for income tax purposes. The Company
financed the GlobalScholar acquisition and related fees and expenses with Harland Clarke Holdings
cash on hand. The Company has recognized $1.6 of acquisition related costs through March 31, 2011
for this acquisition, of which $0.2 was expensed and included in selling, general and
administrative expenses in the consolidated statement of income for the three months ended March
31, 2011 with the remainder having been expensed and included in selling, general and
administrative expenses in the fourth quarter of 2010.
The contingent consideration arrangement provides for cash payments of up to an aggregate
maximum of $20.0, which may be payable upon the achievement of certain future revenue targets of
GlobalScholar measured during the calendar year 2011. The acquisition-date fair value of the
contingent consideration arrangement of $18.5 was estimated utilizing a discounted cash flow
analysis with significant inputs that are not observable in the market (Level 3 inputs). Key
assumptions include a projection of certain GlobalScholar revenues for the measurement period. The
application of fair value accounting for the contingent consideration arrangement requires
recurring remeasurement for changes in key assumptions (see Note 13). As of March 31, 2011, the
contingent consideration liability was $18.8. The increase in fair value from the acquisition date
was due to the passage of time which reduced the effect of discounting to present value.
The application of acquisition accounting decreased acquired deferred revenues by $14.9 to
$11.6 due to a fair value adjustment. This non-cash fair value adjustment results in lower revenue
being recognized over the related earnings period (of which $1.9 was reflected as a reduction of
revenues for the period January 3, 2011 to March 31, 2011).
The fair value of financial assets acquired was not significant and all receivables are expected to
be collected. The pro forma effects for the GlobalScholar acquisition on the consolidated results
of operations were not material.
Acquisition of Parsam
On December 6, 2010, Harland Financial Solutions, Inc. (HFS), a wholly owned subsidiary of
the Company, acquired all of the outstanding membership interests of Parsam Technologies, LLC and
the equity of SRC Software Private Limited (collectively referred to as Parsam). Parsams
solutions allow financial institutions to provide services online, in branches and at call centers,
from new account opening and funding to account-to-account money transfers, person-to-person
payments, account and adviser-client relationship management, and bill presentment and payment. HFS
is integrating Parsams solutions into its existing solution offerings. The acquisition-date
purchase price was $32.8 in cash, net of cash acquired and after giving effect to working capital
adjustments. In addition, the Company recorded the fair value of contingent consideration of $1.2,
as described below, which resulted in total consideration of $34.0. Contingent consideration would
be payable upon achievement of certain revenue targets of Parsam during calendar years 2011 and
2012. The transaction was accounted for as a business combination and Parsams results of
operations have been included in the Companys operations since the date of its acquisition.
The contingent consideration arrangement provides for cash payments of up to an aggregate
maximum of $25.0, which may be payable upon the achievement of certain future revenue targets of
Parsam measured during calendar years 2011 and 2012. The acquisition-date fair value of the
contingent consideration arrangement was estimated utilizing a discounted cash flow analysis with
significant inputs that are not observable in the market (Level 3 inputs). Key assumptions include
a projection of certain Parsam revenues for the measurement periods. During the first quarter of
2011, the Company identified a $1.6 decrease in the initial estimate of acquisition-date fair value
of contingent consideration with a corresponding $1.6 decrease in goodwill. The application of fair
value accounting for the contingent consideration arrangement requires recurring remeasurement for
changes in key assumptions (see Note 13). As of March 31, 2011, the contingent consideration
liability was $1.8. The decrease in the initial estimate of acquisition-date fair value was due to
the adjustment described above, partially offset by an increase in the projection of certain Parsam
revenues for the measurement periods and the passage of time which reduced the effect of
discounting to present value.

(unaudited)
The preliminary allocation of purchase price resulted in identified intangible assets of $7.8
and goodwill of $26.2. The goodwill arises because the total consideration for Parsam, which
reflects its future earnings and cash flow potential, exceeds the fair value of the net assets
acquired. The goodwill resulting from the acquisition was assigned to the Harland Financial
Solutions segment. Of the goodwill recognized, $23.1 is expected to be deductible for income tax
purposes. The Company financed the Parsam acquisition and related fees and expenses with Harland
Clarke Holdings cash on hand. Acquisition-related fees and expenses were not material.
The application of acquisition accounting decreased acquired deferred revenues by $1.6 to $0.4
due to a fair value adjustment. This non-cash fair value adjustment results in lower revenue being
recognized over the related earnings period (of which $0.3 was reflected as a reduction of revenues
for the three months ended March 31, 2011).
The fair value of financial assets acquired was not significant and all receivables are
expected to be collected. The pro forma effects for the Parsam acquisition on the consolidated
results of operations were not material.
Acquisition of Spectrum K12
On July 21, 2010, Scantron acquired 100% of the equity of Spectrum K12 School Solutions, Inc.
(Spectrum K12). Spectrum K12 develops, markets and sells student achievement management, response
to intervention and special education software solutions. Spectrum K12s software solutions
complement Scantrons software solutions for educational assessments, content and data management.
The acquisition-date purchase price was $28.6 in cash, net of cash acquired and after giving effect
to working capital adjustments. In addition, the Company recorded the fair value of contingent
consideration of $4.0, as described below, which resulted in total consideration of $32.7. The
transaction was accounted for as a business combination and Spectrum K12s results of operations
have been included in the Companys operations since the date of its acquisition.
The preliminary allocation of purchase price resulted in identified intangible assets of
$6.6 and goodwill of $26.6. The goodwill arises because the total consideration for Spectrum K12,
which reflects its future earnings and cash flow potential, exceeds the fair value of the net
assets acquired. The goodwill resulting from the acquisition was assigned to the Scantron segment.
Of the goodwill recognized, $1.5 is expected to be deductible for income tax purposes. The Company
financed the Spectrum K12 acquisition and related fees and expenses with cash on hand.
Acquisition-related fees and expenses were not material.
The contingent consideration arrangement provides for cash payments of up to an aggregate
maximum of $20.0, which may be payable upon the achievement of certain future revenue targets of
Spectrum K12 measured during the twelve-month periods ending June 30, 2011 and 2012. Certain of the
contingent consideration payments may be payable under the terms of the acquisition to eligible
employees who remain employed by Spectrum K12 during the twelve-month periods ending June 30, 2011
and 2012. These contingent consideration payments of up to an aggregate of $5.0 to eligible
employees will be considered incentive compensation and will be recorded as compensation expense as
earned. The acquisition-date fair value of the contingent consideration arrangement of $4.9, of
which $0.9 is considered to be incentive compensation, was estimated utilizing a discounted cash
flow analysis with significant inputs that are not observable in the market (Level 3 inputs). Key
assumptions include a projection of Spectrum K12 revenues for the measurement periods. The
application of fair value accounting for the contingent consideration arrangement requires
recurring remeasurement for changes in key assumptions (see Note 13). As of March 31, 2011, the
fair value of the contingent consideration arrangement was $1.5, of which $0.3 is considered to be
incentive compensation. The reduction in fair value from the acquisition date was primarily the
result of a decline in projected revenues during the measurement periods. As of March 31, 2011, the
contingent consideration liability recognized was $1.4 (of which $0.2 was recorded as compensation
expense for the period July 22, 2010 to March 31, 2011).
The application of acquisition accounting decreased acquired deferred revenues by $10.5 to
$5.0 due to a fair value adjustment. This non-cash fair value adjustment results in lower revenue
being recognized over the related earnings period (of which $1.0 was reflected as a reduction of
revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2011).
The fair value of financial assets acquired was not significant and all receivables are
expected to be collected. The pro forma effects for the Spectrum K12 acquisition on the
consolidated results of operations were not material.

During 2010, the Company closed its information technology facility in Atlanta, GA and
relocated those operations into an existing facility. The other listed Atlanta facilities were
closed as part of the Companys plan to exit duplicative facilities related to an acquisition.
Subsequent to the classification of the Atlanta facilities as assets held for sale, there have been
significant changes in the real estate market. The Company has made appropriate changes to its
marketing plan and believes these facilities will be sold within twelve months. In January 2010,
the Company sold its Syracuse facility, which was closed in 2009, for its carrying value of $1.1.
Assets held for sale are included in prepaid expenses and other current assets on the

9. Postretirement Defined Benefit Plans
The Company sponsors two unfunded postretirement defined benefit plans that cover certain
former salaried and non-salaried employees. One plan provides healthcare benefits and the other
provides life insurance benefits. The medical plan is contributory and contributions are adjusted
annually based on actual claims experience. For retirees who retired prior to December 31, 2002
with twenty or more years of service at December 31, 2000, the Company contributes a portion of the
cost of the medical plan. For all other retirees, the Companys intent is that the retirees provide
the majority of the actual cost of the medical plan. The life insurance plan is noncontributory for
those employees that retired by December 31, 2002.

jurisdictions. The statute of limitations for the Companys federal and state tax returns for the
tax years 2007 through 2010 generally remain open. In addition, open tax years related to foreign

$1,900.0 Senior Secured Credit Facilities
On April 4, 2007, the Company and substantially all of its subsidiaries as co-borrowers
entered into a credit agreement (the Credit Agreement). The Credit Agreement provides for a
$1,800.0 senior secured term loan (the Term Loan), which was fully drawn at closing on May 1,
2007 and matures on June 30, 2014. The Company is required to repay the Term Loan in equal
quarterly installments in aggregate annual amounts equal to 1% of the original principal amount. In
addition, the Credit Agreement requires that a portion of the Companys excess cash flow be applied
to prepay amounts borrowed, as further described below. The Credit Agreement also provides for a
$100.0 revolving credit facility (the Revolver) that matures on June 28, 2013. The Revolver
includes an up to $60.0 subfacility in the form of letters of credit and an up to $30.0 subfacility
in the form of short-term swing line loans. The weighted average interest rate on borrowings
outstanding under the Term Loan was 2.8% at March 31, 2011. As of March 31, 2011, there were no
outstanding borrowings under the Revolver and there was $91.8 available for borrowing (giving
effect to the issuance of $8.2 of letters of credit).
Under certain circumstances, the Company is permitted to incur additional term loan and/or
revolving credit facility indebtedness in an aggregate principal amount of up to $250.0. In
addition, the terms of the Credit Agreement and the 2015 Senior Notes (as defined below) allow the
Company to incur substantial additional debt.
Loans under the Credit Agreement bear, at the Companys option, interest at:
|
|
|
A rate per annum equal to the higher of (a) the prime rate of Credit Suisse and (b)
the Federal Funds rate plus 0.50%, in each case plus an applicable margin of 1.50% per
annum for revolving loans and for term loans; or |
|
|
|
|
A rate per annum equal to a reserve-adjusted LIBOR rate, plus an applicable margin of
2.50% per annum for revolving loans and for term loans. |
The Credit Agreement has a commitment fee of 0.50% for the unused portion of the Revolver and a
weighted average commitment fee of 2.52% for issued letters of credit. Interest rate margins and
commitment fees under the Revolver are subject to reduction in increments based upon the Company
achieving certain consolidated leverage ratios.

Harland Clarke Holdings Corp. and Subsidiaries
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued)
(dollars in millions)
(unaudited)
The Company and each of its existing and future domestic subsidiaries, other than
unrestricted subsidiaries and certain immaterial subsidiaries, are guarantors and may also be
co-borrowers under the Credit Agreement. In addition, the Companys direct parent, CA Acquisition
Holdings, Inc., is a guarantor under the Credit Agreement. The senior secured credit facilities are
secured by a perfected first priority security interest in substantially all of the Companys, each
of the co-borrowers and the guarantors tangible and intangible assets and equity interests (other
than voting stock in excess of 65.0% of the outstanding voting stock of each direct foreign
subsidiary and certain other excluded property).
The Credit Agreement contains customary affirmative and negative covenants including, among
other things, restrictions on indebtedness, liens, mergers and consolidations, sales of assets,
loans, acquisitions, restricted payments, transactions with affiliates, dividends and other payment
restrictions affecting subsidiaries and sale-leaseback transactions. The Credit Agreement requires
the Company to maintain a maximum consolidated leverage ratio for the benefit of lenders under the
Revolver only. The Company has the right to prepay the Term Loan at any time without premium or
penalty, subject to certain breakage costs, and the Company may also reduce any unutilized portion
of the Revolver at any time, in minimum principal amounts set forth in the Credit Agreement. The
Company is required to prepay the Term Loan with 50% of excess cash flow (as defined in the Credit
Agreement, with certain reductions set forth in the Credit Agreement, based on achievement and
maintenance of leverage ratios) and 100% of the net proceeds of certain issuances, offerings or
placements of debt obligations of the Company or any of its subsidiaries (other than permitted
debt). Each such prepayment will be applied first to the next eight unpaid quarterly amortization
installments on the term loans and second to the remaining amortization installments on the term
loans on a pro rata basis. An excess cash flow payment of $3.5 was paid in March 2011 with respect
to 2010 and under the terms of the Credit Agreement will be applied against other mandatory
payments due in 2011. No such excess cash flow payment was required to be paid in 2010 with respect
to 2009.
The Credit Agreement also contains certain customary affirmative covenants and events of
default. Such events of default include, but are not limited to: non-payment of amounts when due;
violation of covenants; material inaccuracy of representations and warranties; cross default and
cross acceleration with respect to other material debt; bankruptcy and other insolvency events;
certain ERISA events; invalidity of guarantees or security documents; and material judgments. Some
of these events of default allow for grace periods.
If a change of control (as defined in the Credit Agreement) occurs, the Company will be
required to make an offer to prepay all outstanding term loans under the Credit Agreement at 101%
of the outstanding principal amount thereof plus accrued and unpaid interest, and lenders holding a
majority of the revolving credit commitments may elect to terminate the revolving credit
commitments in full. The Company is also required to offer to prepay outstanding term loans at 100%
of the principal amount to be prepaid, plus accrued and unpaid interest, with the proceeds of
certain asset sales under certain circumstances.
Senior Notes due 2015
On May 1, 2007, the Company issued $305.0 aggregate principal amount of Senior Floating Rate
Notes due 2015 (the Floating Rate Notes) and $310.0 aggregate principal amount of 9.50% Senior
Fixed Rate Notes due 2015 (the Fixed Rate Notes and, together with the Floating Rate Notes, the
2015 Senior Notes). The 2015 Senior Notes mature on May 15, 2015. The Fixed Rate Notes bear
interest at a rate per annum of 9.50%, payable on May 15 and November 15 of each year. The Floating
Rate Notes bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the Applicable LIBOR Rate (as defined in the
indenture governing the 2015 Senior Notes (the Indenture)), subject to a floor of 1.25%, plus
4.75%, payable on February 15, May 15, August 15 and November 15 of each year. The interest rate on
the Floating Rate Notes was 6.0% at March 31, 2011. The Senior Notes are unsecured and are
therefore effectively subordinated to all of the Companys senior secured indebtedness, including
outstanding borrowings under the Credit Agreement. The Company and each of its existing
subsidiaries, other than unrestricted subsidiaries and certain immaterial subsidiaries, are
guarantors and may also be co-issuers under the 2015 Senior Notes.
12
Harland Clarke Holdings Corp. and Subsidiaries
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued)
(dollars in millions)
(unaudited)
The Indenture contains customary restrictive covenants, including, among other things,
restrictions on the Companys ability to incur additional debt, pay dividends and make
distributions, make certain investments, repurchase stock, incur liens, enter into transactions
with affiliates, enter into sale and lease back transactions, merge or consolidate and transfer or
sell assets. The Company must offer to repurchase all of the 2015 Senior Notes upon the occurrence
of a change of control, as defined in the Indenture, at a purchase price equal to 101% of their
aggregate principal amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest. The Company must also offer to
repurchase the 2015 Senior Notes with the proceeds from certain sales of assets, if it does not
apply those proceeds within a specified time period after the sale, at a purchase price equal to
100% of their aggregate principal amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest.
Capital Lease Obligations and Other Indebtedness
The Company has outstanding capital lease obligations and other indebtedness with principal
balances totaling $4.0 and $4.6 at March 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010, respectively. These
obligations have imputed interest rates ranging from 0.0% to 9.6% and have required payments,
including interest, of $1.7 remaining in 2011, $1.4 in 2012, $1.3 in 2013, $0.9 in 2014 and $0.1 in
2015.
12. Derivative Financial Instruments
Interest Rate Hedges
The Company uses hedge transactions, which are accounted for as cash flow hedges, to limit the
Companys risk on a portion of its variable-rate debt.
During June 2007, the Company entered into an interest rate derivative transaction in the form
of a three-year interest rate swap with a notional amount of $255.0, which became effective on June
29, 2007. This hedge, which expired on June 30, 2010, swapped the underlying variable rate for a
fixed rate of 5.362%.
During June 2009, the Company entered into an interest rate derivative transaction in the form
of a three-year interest rate swap with a notional amount of $350.0, which became effective on June
30, 2009. This hedge swaps the underlying variable rate for a fixed rate of 2.353%. During
September 2009, the Company entered into an additional interest rate derivative transaction in the
form of a three-year interest rate swap with a notional amount of $250.0, which became effective on
September 30, 2009. This hedge swaps the underlying variable rate for a fixed rate of 2.140%.
During June 2010, the Company entered into an interest rate derivative transaction in the form
of a three-year interest rate swap with a notional amount of $255.0, which became effective on June
30, 2010. This hedge swaps the underlying variable rate for a fixed rate of 1.264%.

Fair value of interest rate swaps is based on forward-looking interest rate curves as provided
by the counterparty, adjusted for the Companys credit risk. Fair value of corporate equity
securities are based on quoted market prices. Fair value of the liability for contingent
consideration related to business combinations is estimated utilizing a discounted cash flow
analysis. The analysis considers, among other things, estimates of future revenues and the timing
of expected future contingent consideration payments. The liability for contingent consideration
that is considered to be incentive compensation is recorded as compensation expense as earned.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments
Most of the Companys clients are in the financial services and educational industries. The
Company performs ongoing credit evaluations of its clients and maintains allowances for potential
credit losses. The Company does not generally require collateral. Actual losses and allowances have
been within managements expectations.
The carrying amounts for cash and cash equivalents, trade accounts receivable, accounts
payable and accrued liabilities approximate fair value. The estimated fair value of long-term debt
is determined by Level 2 inputs and is based primarily on quoted market prices for the same or
similar issues as of the measurement date. The estimated fair value of long-term debt at March 31,
2011 and December 31, 2010 was approximately $2,113.9 and $2,009.2, respectively. The carrying
value of long-term debt at March 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010 was $2,211.1 and $2,219.7,
respectively.

15. Commitments and Contingencies
Honeywell Indemnification
Certain of the intermediate holding companies of the predecessor of the Company had issued
guarantees on behalf of operating companies formerly owned by these intermediate holding companies,
which operating companies are not part of the Companys businesses. In the stock purchase agreement
executed in connection with the 2005 acquisition of the Company by M & F Worldwide, Honeywell
agreed to use its commercially reasonable efforts to assume, replace or terminate such guarantees
and indemnify M & F Worldwide and its affiliates, including the Company and its subsidiaries, with
respect to all liabilities arising under such guarantees.
Other
A series of commercial borrowers in nine states that allegedly obtained loans from banks
employing HFSs LaserPro software have commenced individual or class actions against their banks
alleging that the loans were deceptive or usurious in that they failed to disclose properly the
effect of the 365/360 method of calculating interest. In some cases, the banks have made warranty
claims against HFS related to these actions. Some of these actions have already been dismissed, and
many of the remainder, and the related warranty claims, are at early stages, so that the likely
progress of the matters still pending is not yet clear. HFS settled one warranty claim in 2009 for
an immaterial amount without any admission of liability. The Company has not accepted any of the
warranty claims and does not believe that any of these claims will result in material liability for
the Company, but there can be no assurance.
Various other legal proceedings, claims and investigations are pending against the Company,
including those relating to commercial transactions, environmental matters, employment matters and
other matters. Certain of these matters are covered by insurance, subject to deductibles and
maximum limits, and by third-party indemnities. In the opinion of management, based upon the
information available at this time, the outcome of the matters referred to above will not have a
material adverse effect on the Companys financial position or results of operations.
16. Restructuring
Harland Clarke and Corporate
The Company adopted plans during 2011 and 2010 to realize additional cost savings in the

Harland Financial Solutions
During 2009, the Company initiated a multi-year plan to reorganize certain operations and
sales and support functions within the Harland Financial Solutions segment. The plan, which is
expected to be completed by the end of 2011, focuses on moving from a product-centric organization
to a functional organization in order to enhance customer support.

restructuring plans through 2017.
17. Transactions with Related Parties
Notes Receivable
In 2008, Harland Clarke Holdings acquired the senior secured credit facility and outstanding
note of Delphax Technologies, Inc. (Delphax), the supplier of Imaggia printing machines and
related supplies and service for the Harland Clarke segment. The senior secured credit facility is
comprised of a revolving credit facility of up to $14.0, subject to borrowing limitations set forth
therein, that matures in September 2011. The senior secured credit facility is collateralized by a
perfected security interest in substantially all of Delphaxs assets. The revolving facility has a
borrowing base calculated based on Delphaxs eligible accounts receivable and inventory. The senior
secured credit facility has an interest rate equal to the sum of Wells Fargo N. A. prime rate plus
2.5%, with accrued interest payable quarterly. The note had an original principal amount of $7.0,
matures in September 2012 and originally bore interest at an annual rate of 12%, payable quarterly
either in cash or in a combination of cash and up to 25% Delphax stock. Contemporaneous with its
acquisition of the senior secured credit facility and the note, Harland Clarke Holdings also
acquired 250,000 shares of Delphax common stock from the previous holder of the Delphax note. In
January 2010, the note was restated to reduce the interest rate to 9%, payable solely in cash,
effective October 1, 2009, and to require the repayment of $3.0 of principal in 2010.
As of March 31, 2011, the principal balance of the note and the senior secured credit facility
were $4.0 and $0.0, respectively. The outstanding balance on the note is included in other assets
in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. Interest income of $0.1 and $0.1 was recorded
during the three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively.
Other
The Company expensed $0.7 and $0.7 during the three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010,
respectively, for services provided to the Company by M & F Worldwide. This amount is reflected in
selling, general and administrative expenses.

Item 2.
Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
The following discussion regarding our financial condition and results of operations for the
three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010 should be read in conjunction with the more detailed
financial information contained in our consolidated financial statements and their notes included
elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
Overview of Business
Harland Clarke Holdings Corp. (Harland Clarke Holdings and, together with its subsidiaries,
the Company) is a holding company that conducts its operations through its direct and indirect
wholly owned subsidiaries and was incorporated in Delaware on October 19, 2005. On December 15,
2005, CA Investment Corp., an indirect wholly owned operating subsidiary of M & F Worldwide Corp.
(M & F Worldwide), purchased 100% of the capital stock of Novar USA Inc. (Novar). Novar was
renamed Clarke American Corp., which was the successor by merger to Novar, which indirectly wholly
owned the operating subsidiaries of the Clarke American Corp. business. On May 1, 2007, the Company
completed the acquisition of John H. Harland Company (Harland) and changed its name on May 2,
2007 from Clarke American Corp. to Harland Clarke Holdings. The Companys businesses are organized
along three business segments together with a corporate group for certain support services.
The Harland Clarke segment offers checks and related products, forms and treasury supplies,
and related delivery and fraud prevention products to financial services, retail and software
providers. It also provides direct marketing services to their clients including direct marketing
campaigns, direct mail, database marketing, telemarketing and e-mail marketing. In addition to
these products and services, the Harland Clarke segment offers stationery, business cards and other
business and home office products to consumers and small businesses.
The Harland Financial Solutions segment provides technology products and services to financial
services clients worldwide including lending and mortgage compliance and origination applications,
risk management solutions, business intelligence solutions, Internet and mobile banking
applications, branch automation solutions, self-service solutions, electronic payment solutions and
core processing systems.
The Scantron segment provides data management solutions and related services to educational,
commercial, healthcare and governmental entities worldwide including testing and assessment
solutions, patient information collection and tracking, and survey services. Scantrons solutions
combine a variety of data collection, analysis, and management tools including web-based solutions,
software, scanning equipment, forms, and related field maintenance services.
The GlobalScholar Acquisition
On January 3, 2011, Scantron Corporation (Scantron), a wholly owned subsidiary of the
Company, purchased all of the outstanding capital stock or membership interests of KUE Digital
Inc., KUED Sub I LLC and KUED Sub II LLC (collectively referred to as GlobalScholar).
GlobalScholars instructional management platform supports all aspects of managing education at
K-12 schools, including student information systems; performance-based scheduler; gradebook;
learning management system; longitudinal data collection, analysis and reporting; teacher
development and performance tracking; and online communication and tutoring portals.
GlobalScholars instructional management platform complements Scantrons testing and assessment,
response to intervention, student achievement management and special education software solutions
thereby expanding Scantrons web-based education solutions. The acquisition-date purchase price was
$134.9 million in cash, net of cash acquired and after giving effect to working capital
adjustments. In addition, the Company recorded the fair value of contingent consideration of $18.5
million, which resulted in total consideration of $153.4 million. Contingent consideration would be
payable in 2012 upon achievement of certain revenue targets of GlobalScholar during calendar year
2011 (see Note 3 to the Companys consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this
Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q). The Company financed the acquisition and related fees and expenses
with cash on hand.
19
Harland Clarke Holdings Corp. and Subsidiaries
The Parsam Acquisition
On December 6, 2010, Harland Financial Solutions, Inc. (HFS), a wholly owned subsidiary of
the Company, acquired all of the outstanding membership interests of Parsam Technologies, LLC and
the equity of SRC Software Private Limited (collectively referred to as Parsam). Parsams
solutions allow financial institutions to provide services online, in branches and at call centers,
from new account opening and funding to account-to-account money transfers, person-to-person
payments, account and adviser-client relationship management and bill presentment and payment. HFS
is integrating Parsams solutions into its existing solution offerings. The acquisition-date
purchase price was $32.8 million in cash, net of cash acquired and after giving effect to working
capital adjustments. In addition, the Company recorded the fair value of contingent consideration
of $1.2 million, which resulted in total consideration of $34.0 million. Contingent consideration
would be payable upon achievement of certain revenue targets of Parsam during calendar years 2011
and 2012 with a maximum contingent consideration of $25.0 million if the revenue targets are met
(see Note 3 to the Companys consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Quarterly
Report on Form 10-Q). The Company financed the acquisition and related fees and expenses with cash
on hand.
The Spectrum K12 Acquisition
On July 21, 2010, Scantron acquired Spectrum K12 School Solutions, Inc. (Spectrum K12).
Spectrum K12 develops, markets and sells student achievement management, response to intervention
and special education software solutions. Spectrum K12s software solutions complement Scantrons
software solutions for education assessments, content and data management. The acquisition-date
purchase price was $28.6 million in cash, net of cash acquired and after giving effect to working
capital adjustments. In addition, the Company recorded the fair value of contingent consideration
of $4.0 million, which resulted in total consideration of $32.7 million. Contingent consideration
would be payable upon achievement of certain revenue targets of Spectrum K12 during the
twelve-month periods ending June 30, 2011 and 2012 with a maximum aggregate contingent
consideration of $20.0 million if the revenue targets are met (see Note 3 to the Companys
consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q). The
Company financed the acquisition and related fees and expenses with cash on hand.
Economic and Other Factors Affecting the Businesses of the Company
Harland Clarke
While total non-cash payments including checks, credit cards, debit cards and other
electronic forms of payment are growing, the number of checks written has declined and is
expected to continue to decline. Harland Clarke believes the number of checks printed is driven by
the number of checks written, the number of new checking accounts opened and reorders reflecting
changes in consumers personal situations, such as name or address changes. In recent years,
Harland Clarke has experienced check unit declines at a higher rate than in the past, as evidenced
by recent period-over-period declines in Harland Clarke revenue which are discussed in more detail
elsewhere in this report. Harland Clarke is unable to determine at this time whether these higher
rates of decline are attributable to recent economic and financial market difficulties, the depth
and length of the economic downturn, higher unemployment, decreased openings of checking accounts,
changing business strategies of our financial institution clients, decreased consumer spending
and/or a further acceleration in the use of alternative non-cash payments. Harland Clarke expects
that check unit volume will continue to decline at rates that are higher than it had previously
experienced in recent years, resulting in a corresponding decrease in check revenues and depending
on the nature and relative magnitude of the causes for the decreases, such decreases may not be
mitigated when overall economic conditions improve. Harland Clarke is focused on growing its
non-check related products and services, including marketing services, and optimizing its existing
catalog of offerings to better serve its clients, as well as managing its costs, overhead and
facilities to reflect the decline in check unit volumes. Harland Clarke does not believe that
revenues from non-check related products and services will fully offset revenue declines from
declining check unit volumes. In the future, Harland Clarke may not be able to mitigate the revenue
declines from declining check unit volumes through cost management, which could negatively affect
Harland Clarkes margins.
20
Harland Clarke Holdings Corp. and Subsidiaries
Harland Clarkes primary competition comes from alternative payment methods such as debit
cards, credit cards, ACH, and other electronic and online payment options. Harland Clarke also
competes with large providers that offer a wide variety of products and services including Deluxe
Corporation, Harte-Hanks, Inc., and R.R. Donnelley & Sons Company. There are also many other
competitors that specialize in providing one or more of the products and services Harland Clarke
offers to its clients. Harland Clarke competes on the basis of service, convenience, quality,
product range and price.
The Harland Clarke segments operating results are also affected by consumer confidence and
employment. Consumer confidence directly correlates with consumer spending, while employment also
affects revenues through the number of new checking accounts being opened. The Harland Clarke
segments operating results may be negatively affected by slow or negative growth of, or downturns
in, the United States economy. Business confidence affects a portion of the Harland Clarke segment.
In addition, if Harland Clarkes financial institution customers fail or merge with other financial
institutions, Harland Clarke may lose any or all revenue from such financial institutions and/or
experience further pricing pressure, which would negatively affect Harland Clarkes operating
results.
Harland Financial Solutions
Harland Financial Solutions operating results are affected by the overall demand for our
products, software and related services, which is based upon the technology budgets of our clients
and prospects. Economic downturns in one or more of the countries in which we do business and
enhanced regulatory burdens, including through increased fees and assessments charged to financial
institutions by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation and National Credit Union Association or
due to recently enacted federal legislation for additional taxes on certain financial institutions,
could result in reductions in the information technology budgets for some portion of our clients
and potentially longer lead-times for acquiring Harland Financial Solutions products and services.
In addition, if Harland Financial Solutions financial institution customers fail or merge with
other financial institutions, Harland Financial Solutions may lose any or all revenue from such
financial institutions and/or experience further pricing pressure, which would negatively affect
Harland Financial Solutions operating results.
Harland Financial Solutions business is affected by technological change, evolving industry
standards, regulatory changes in client requirements and frequent new product introductions and
enhancements. The business of providing technological solutions to financial institutions and other
enterprises requires that we continually improve our existing products and create new products
while at the same time controlling our costs to remain price competitive.
Providing technological solutions to financial institutions is highly competitive and
fragmented. Harland Financial Solutions competes with several large and diversified financial
technology providers, including, among others, Fidelity National Information Services, Inc.,
Fiserv, Inc., Jack Henry & Associates, Inc., Open Solutions Inc., Computer Services Inc. and many
regional providers. Many multi-national and international providers of technological solutions to
financial institutions also compete with Harland Financial Solutions both domestically and
internationally, including Temenos Group AG, Misys plc, Infosys Technologies Limited, Tata
Consultancy and Oracle Financial Services. There are also many other competitors that offer one or
more specialized products or services that compete with products and services offered by Harland
Financial Solutions. Management believes that competitive factors influencing buying decisions
include product features and functionality, client support, price and vendor financial stability.
21
Harland Clarke Holdings Corp. and Subsidiaries
Scantron
While the number of tests given annually in K-12 and higher education continues to grow, the
demand for optical mark reader paper-based testing has declined and is expected to continue to
decline. Changes in educational funding can affect the rate at which schools adopt new technology
thus slowing the decline for paper-based testing but also slowing the demand for Scantrons on-line
testing products. Educational funding changes may also reduce the rate of consumption of Scantrons
forms and purchase of additional hardware to process these forms. Scantrons education-based
customers may turn to lower cost solutions for paper-based forms and hardware in furtherance of
addressing their budget needs. A weak economy in the United States may negatively affect education
budgets and spending, which would have an adverse effect on Scantrons operating results. Data
collection is also experiencing a conversion to non-paper based methods of collection. Scantron
believes this trend will also continue as the availability of these alternative technologies
becomes more widespread. While Scantrons non-paper data collection business could benefit from
this trend, Scantrons paper-based data collection business could be negatively affected by this
trend. Changes in the overall economy can affect the demand for data collection to the extent that
Scantrons customers adjust their research or testing expenditures.
Scantron enters into contracts with customers that provide for multiple products and services
or elements, such as software, installation, configuration, training and maintenance (referred to
as multiple-element contracts). In order to recognize revenue for each element of the contract
separately as earned, the relevant accounting guidance requires that the Company have
vendor-specific objective evidence, or VSOE, of fair value of each element. VSOE of fair value
of each element is typically based on the price charged when sold separately. The Company does not
yet have sufficient history with GlobalScholar and Spectrum K12 sales to establish VSOE for
elements within their contracts. As a result, for such contracts, the entire contract is bundled as
a single unit for accounting purposes with revenue being recognized ratably over the initial term
of the contract commencing with the completion of implementation services if such services are
essential to the functionality of the software. This methodology results in substantial deferral of
revenue into future periods, while the related costs are expensed as incurred rather than deferred.
In addition, revenue from contracts that are subject to substantive customer acceptance provisions
is deferred until the acceptance provisions have been met. As a result of these factors that cause
deferral of significant revenue into future periods for amounts that are billed and collected, the
Company expects to record operating losses for the acquired GlobalScholar and Spectrum K12
operations in 2011.
See Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations -
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates in the Companys Annual Report on Form 10-K for the
year ended December 31, 2010 for additional information regarding revenue recognition policies.
Restructuring
The Company has taken restructuring actions in the past in an effort to achieve manufacturing
and contact center efficiencies and other cost savings. Past restructuring actions have related to
both acquisitions and ongoing cost reduction initiatives and have included manufacturing plant
closures, contact center closures and workforce rationalization. The Company anticipates future
restructuring actions, where appropriate, to realize process efficiencies, to continue to align its
cost structure with business needs and remain competitive in the marketplace. The Company expects
to incur severance and severance-related costs, facilities closures costs and other costs such as
inventory write-offs, training, hiring and travel in connection with future restructuring actions.
Consolidated Operating Results
The Company has organized its businesses along three reportable segments together with a
corporate group for certain support services. The Companys operations are aligned on the basis of
products, services and industry. Management measures and evaluates the reportable segments based on
operating income.
In the tables below, dollars are in millions.

Net revenues decreased by $26.1 million, or 6.1%, to $403.9 million in the 2011 period from
$430.0 million in the 2010 period.
Net revenues for the Harland Clarke segment decreased by $30.3 million, or 9.8%, to $279.4
million in the 2011 period from $309.7 million in the 2010 period. The decrease was primarily due
to volume declines in check and related products, and decreased revenues per unit. Net revenues in
the 2010 period included charges of $0.3 million for non-cash fair value acquisition accounting
adjustments to deferred revenue related to the SubscriberMail acquisition.
Net revenues for the Harland Financial Solutions segment increased by $2.7 million, or 3.9%,
to $72.0 million in the 2011 period from $69.3 million in the 2010 period. The increase was
primarily due to revenues from the Parsam acquisition in December 2010 and increases in software
revenues and services revenues, partially offset by decreases in maintenance fees. Net revenues in
the 2011 period included charges of $0.3 million for non-cash fair value acquisition accounting
adjustments to deferred revenue related to the Parsam acquisition.
Net revenues for the Scantron segment increased by $1.5 million, or 2.9%, to $52.6 million in
the 2011 period from $51.1 million in the 2010 period. The increase was primarily due to the
acquisitions of GlobalScholar and Spectrum K12, increases in field services installations and
increases in revenues from web-based products and services for the education market. Revenue
increases were partially offset by declines in forms, systems hardware and survey services
revenues. Net revenues in the 2011 period included charges of $2.9 million for non-cash fair value
acquisition accounting adjustments to deferred revenue related to the GlobalScholar and Spectrum
K12 acquisitions. In addition, as further discussed in Economic and Other Factors Affecting the
Businesses of the Company, GlobalScholar and Spectrum K12 have not established VSOE of fair value
for the individual elements of their multiple-element contracts and also have contracts with
substantive customer acceptance provisions, resulting in a substantial deferral of revenue for
amounts billed and collected into future periods.

Harland Clarke Holdings Corp. and Subsidiaries
Cost of revenues decreased by $10.7 million, or 4.3%, to $236.8 million in the 2011
period from $247.5 million in the 2010 period.
Cost of revenues for the Harland Clarke segment decreased by $17.1 million, or 9.0%, to $173.1
million in the 2011 period from $190.2 million in the 2010 period. The decrease in cost of revenues
was primarily due to lower volumes, which resulted in lower delivery, materials and other variable
overhead expenses, a decrease in depreciation expense, and labor cost reductions resulting from
restructuring activities. Cost of revenues as a percentage of revenues for the Harland Clarke
segment was 62.0% in the 2011 period as compared to 61.4% in the 2010 period.
Cost of revenues for the Harland Financial Solutions segment decreased by $0.5 million, or
1.7%, to $29.8 million in the 2011 period from $30.3 million in the 2010 period. The decrease in
cost of revenues was primarily due to a decrease in amortization expense partially offset by costs
associated with the business acquired in the Parsam acquisition in December 2010. Cost of revenues
as a percentage of revenues for the Harland Financial Solutions segment was 41.4% in the 2011
period as compared to 43.7% in the 2010 period.
Cost of revenues for the Scantron segment increased by $6.9 million, or 25.5% to $34.0 million
in the 2011 period from $27.1 million in the 2010 period. The increase was primarily due to costs
associated with the businesses acquired in the Spectrum K12 and GlobalScholar acquisitions,
including $4.4 million of amortization expense in the 2011 period resulting from intangible assets
recorded in connection with these acquisitions. Cost of revenues as a percentage of revenues for
the Scantron segment was 64.6% in the 2011 period as compared to 53.0% in 2010. The increase in
cost of revenues as a percentage of revenues is primarily due to the increased amortization
expense, non-cash acquisition accounting adjustments that reduced revenue by $2.9 million and the
deferral of revenue for certain amounts billed and collected as further described above.

Selling, general and administrative expenses increased by $5.6 million, or 5.8%, to $101.7
million in the 2011 period from $96.1 million in the 2010 period.
Selling, general and administrative expenses for the Harland Clarke segment decreased by $4.7
million, or 9.0%, to $47.5 million in the 2011 period from $52.2 million in the 2010 period. The
decrease was primarily due to labor cost reductions resulting from restructuring activities, lower
travel costs, and decreases in other general overhead expenses. Selling, general and administrative
expenses as a percentage of revenues for the Harland Clarke segment were 17.0% in the 2011 period
as compared to 16.9% in the 2010 period.
Selling, general and administrative expenses for the Harland Financial Solutions segment
increased by $0.8 million, or 2.9%, to $28.2 million in the 2011 period from $27.4 million in the
2010 period. The increase was primarily due to costs associated with the business acquired in the
Parsam acquisition in December 2010 and increases in selling expenses, partially offset by labor
cost reductions. Selling, general and administrative expenses in the 2010 period included charges
of $0.4 million for compensation expense related to an incentive agreement for an acquisition in
2007. Selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of revenues for the Harland
Financial Solutions segment was 39.2% in the 2011 period as compared to 39.5% in the 2010 period.
24
Harland Clarke Holdings Corp. and Subsidiaries
Selling, general and administrative expenses for the Scantron segment increased by $9.0
million, or 67.2%, to $22.4 million in the 2011 period from $13.4 million in the 2010 period. The
increase was primarily due to costs associated with the businesses acquired in the Spectrum K12 and
GlobalScholar acquisitions and investments in growth initiatives, partially offset by cost
reductions resulting from restructuring activities and a decrease in accrued contingent
consideration related to the Spectrum K12 acquisition. Selling, general and administrative expenses
as a percentage of revenues for the Scantron segment was 42.6% in the 2011 period as compared to
26.2% in 2010. The increase in selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of
revenues is primarily due to increased product development expenses in part resulting from the
GlobalScholar acquisition, non-cash acquisition accounting adjustments that reduced revenue by $2.9
million and the deferral of revenue for certain amounts billed and collected as further described
above.
Corporate selling, general and administrative expenses increased $0.5 million, or 16.1% to
$3.6 million in the 2011 period from $3.1 million in the 2010 period related to increases in
general overhead costs.
Asset Impairment Charges
During the 2011 period, the Company recorded non-cash impairment charges of $0.9 million for
the Scantron segment and $0.4 million for the Harland Clarke segment primarily related to assets
that were determined to have limited future use.
Restructuring Costs
The Company has adopted plans to strengthen operating margins and leverage incremental
synergies within the printing plants, contact centers and selling, general and administrative areas
by relying on the Companys shared services capabilities and reorganizing certain operations and
sales and support functions.
In the 2011 period, the Company recorded restructuring costs of $2.6 million for the Harland
Clarke segment and $(0.3) million for the Scantron segment related to these plans. In the 2010
period, the Company recorded restructuring costs of $1.7 million for the Harland Clarke segment,
$0.2 million for the Harland Financial Solutions segment and $1.3 million for the Scantron segment
related to these plans.
Interest Income
Interest income was $0.1 million in the 2011 period as compared to $0.2 million in the 2010
period. The decrease in interest income was primarily due to lower average cash equivalents
balances in the 2011 period as compared to the 2010 period.
Interest Expense
Interest expense was $27.2 million in the 2011 period as compared to $29.9 million in the 2010
period. The decrease in interest expense was largely due to lower effective interest rates, as well
as a decrease in total debt outstanding.
Provision for Income Taxes
The Companys effective tax
rate was 32.6% in the 2011 period and 39.8% in the 2010 period.
The 2011 period reflects a release of a reserve for uncertain tax positions and an adjustment to contingent
consideration that is not subject to income taxes. The 2010 period
reflects a charge for a change in federal tax law
relating to the deductibility of retiree prescription drug subsidies.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
Cash Flow Analysis
The Companys net cash provided by operating activities during the three months ended March
31, 2011 was $53.3 million as compared to $105.3 million during the three months ended March 31,
2010. The decrease in net cash provided by operating activities of $52.0 million was due to changes
in working capital and a decrease in cash flow from operations. The changes in working capital were
primarily due to payments under long-term incentive compensation plans at the end of the plans
three-year cycle and increases in payments for other annual incentive compensation plans during the
three months ended March 31, 2011 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2010. The timing of
payments related to other accrued expenses during the three months ended March 31, 2011 compared to
the three months ended March 31, 2010 also contributed to the changes in working capital. The
decrease in cash flow from operations was primarily due to a decrease in net income.
The Companys net cash used in investing activities was $148.8 million during the three months
ended March 31, 2011 as compared to $4.1 million during the three months ended March 31, 2010. The
increase in cash used in investing activities during the three months ended March 31, 2011 compared
to the same period in 2010 was primarily due to the GlobalScholar acquisition and higher capital
expenditures.
The Companys net cash used in financing activities was $9.0 million during the three months
ended March 31, 2011 as compared to $5.2 million during the three months ended March 31, 2010. The
increase in net cash used in financing activities was primarily due to an excess cash flow payment
of $3.5 million pursuant to the Companys Credit Agreement during the three months ended March 31,
2011.
The Companys Consolidated Contractual Obligations and Commitments
There were no material changes to the Companys contractual obligations and commitments as
disclosed in the Companys Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010 during
the three months ended March 31, 2011.
Liquidity Assessment
The Company believes that its cash and cash equivalents, borrowings available under its credit
agreement (as further discussed in Note 11 to the Companys consolidated financial statements
included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q) and anticipated cash flow from operating activities
will be sufficient to meet the Companys expected operating needs, investment and capital spending
requirements and debt service requirements for the foreseeable future.
In addition to normal operating cash, working capital requirements and service of
indebtedness, the Company also requires cash to fund capital expenditures, make contract
acquisition payments to financial institution clients and enable cost reductions through
restructuring projects as follows:
|
|
|
Capital Expenditures. The Companys capital expenditures are primarily
related to infrastructure investments, internally developed software, cost reduction
programs, marketing initiatives and other projects that support future revenue growth.
During the three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010, the Company incurred $10.8 million
and $6.6 million of capital expenditures and $0.1 million and $0.0 million of capitalized
interest, respectively. |
|
|
|
|
Contract Acquisition Payments. During the three months ended March 31, 2011
and 2010, the Company made $18.1 million and $9.2 million of contract acquisition payments
to its clients, respectively. |
|
|
|
|
Restructuring/Cost Reductions. Restructuring accruals have been established
for anticipated severance payments, costs related to facilities closures and other
expenses related to the planned restructuring or consolidation of some of the Companys
operations. During the three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010, the Company made $3.0
million and $4.3 million of payments for restructuring, respectively. |
26
Harland Clarke Holdings Corp. and Subsidiaries
The Company may also, from time to time, seek to use its cash to make acquisitions or
investments, and also to retire or purchase its outstanding debt in open market purchases, in
privately negotiated transactions, or otherwise. Such retirement or purchase of debt may be funded
from the operating cash flows of the business or other sources and will depend upon prevailing
market conditions, liquidity requirements, contractual restrictions and other factors, and the
amounts involved may be material. The Company used cash on hand to fund the $134.9 million
acquisition-date cash purchase price for the acquisition of GlobalScholar, net of cash acquired and
working capital adjustments that was consummated on January 3, 2011.
Cash Flow Risks
The Companys ability to meet its debt service obligations and reduce its total debt will
depend upon its ability to generate cash in the future which, in turn, will be subject to general
economic, financial, business, competitive, legislative, regulatory and other conditions, many of
which are beyond the Companys control. The Company may not be able to generate sufficient cash
flow from operations or borrow under its credit facility in an amount sufficient to repay its debt
or to fund other liquidity needs. As of March 31, 2011, the Company had $91.8 million of
availability under its revolving credit facility (after giving effect to the issuance of $8.2
million of letters of credit). The Company may also use its revolving credit facility to fund
potential future acquisitions or investments. If future cash flow from operations and other capital
resources are insufficient to pay the Companys obligations as they mature or to fund its liquidity
needs, the Company may be forced to reduce or delay business activities and capital expenditures,
sell assets, obtain additional debt or equity capital or restructure or refinance all or a portion
of its debt on or before maturity. The Company may not be able to accomplish any of these
alternatives on a timely basis or on satisfactory terms, if at all. In addition, the terms of the
Companys existing and future indebtedness may limit its ability to pursue any of these
alternatives.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
There were no material changes to the Companys Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
included in the Companys Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010 as filed
on March 4, 2011 with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), which is
available on the SECs website at www.sec.gov.
Forward-Looking Statements
This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2011, as well as certain of
the Companys other public documents and statements and oral statements, contains forward-looking
statements that reflect managements current assumptions and estimates of future performance and
economic conditions. When used in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, the words believes,
anticipates, plans, expects, intends, estimates or similar expressions are intended to

The Company encourages investors to read carefully the risk factors described in the Companys
Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010 in the section entitled Risk
Factors for a description of certain risks that could, among other things, cause actual results to
differ from these forward-looking statements.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
The Company has exposure to market risk from changes in interest rates and foreign currency
exchange rates, which could affect its business, results of operations and financial condition. The
Company manages its exposure to these market risks through its regular operating and financing
activities.
At March 31, 2011, the Company had $1,729.0 million of term loans outstanding under its credit
agreement, $8.2 million of letters of credit outstanding under its revolving credit facility,
$206.8 million of floating rate senior notes and $271.3 million of 9.50% fixed rate senior notes.
All of these outstanding loans bear interest at variable rates, with the exception of the $271.3
million of fixed rate senior notes. Accordingly, the Company is subject to risk due to changes in
interest rates. The Company believes that a hypothetical increase of 1 percentage point in the
variable component of interest rates applicable to its floating rate debt outstanding at March 31,
2011 would have resulted in an increase in its interest expense for the three months ended March
31, 2011 of approximately $2.2 million, including the effect of the interest rate derivative
transactions discussed below.
In order to manage its exposure to fluctuations in interest rates on a portion of the
outstanding variable rate debt, the Company entered into interest rate derivative transactions in
2009 and 2010 in the form of swaps with notional amounts totaling $855.0 million currently
outstanding as further described in the notes to the consolidated financial statements included
elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. These derivatives currently swap the underlying
variable rates for fixed rates ranging from 1.264% to 2.353%.
Item 7A of the Companys Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010
presents additional quantitative and qualitative disclosures about exposure to risk in foreign
currency exchange rates. There have been no material changes to the disclosures regarding foreign
currency exchange rates as of March 31, 2011.
29
Harland Clarke Holdings Corp. and Subsidiaries
Item 4. Controls and Procedures
(a) Disclosure Controls and Procedures. The Companys management, with the participation of
the Companys Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, has evaluated the effectiveness
of the Companys disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and
15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the Exchange Act)) as of the end
of the period covered by this report. Based on such evaluation, the Companys Chief Executive
Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that, as of the end of such period, the
Companys disclosure controls and procedures are effective.
(b) Internal Control Over Financial Reporting. There have not been any changes in the
Companys internal control over financial reporting (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and
15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) during the quarter ended March 31, 2011 that have materially
affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Companys internal control over
financial reporting.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. Legal Proceedings
A series of commercial borrowers in nine states that allegedly obtained loans from banks
employing HFSs LaserPro software have commenced individual or class actions against their banks
alleging that the loans were deceptive or usurious in that they failed to disclose properly the
effect of the 365/360 method of calculating interest. In some cases, the banks have made warranty
claims against HFS related to these actions. Some of these actions have already been dismissed, and
many of the remainder, and the related warranty claims, are at early stages, so that the likely
progress of the matters still pending is not yet clear. HFS settled one warranty claim in 2009 for
an immaterial amount without any admission of liability. The Company has not accepted any of the
warranty claims and does not believe that any of these claims will result in material liability for
the Company, but there can be no assurance.
Various legal proceedings, claims and investigations are pending against the Company,
including those relating to commercial transactions, environmental matters, employment matters and
other matters. Certain of these matters are covered by insurance, subject to deductibles and
maximum limits, and by third-party indemnities.
The Company believes that the outcome of all pending legal proceedings in the aggregate will
not have a material adverse effect on its consolidated financial position or results of operations.
Item 1A. Risk Factors
There was no material change to the Companys risk factors as disclosed in the Companys
Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010 during the three months ended March
31, 2011.
Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds
None.
Item 3. Defaults Upon Senior Securities
There was no event of default upon senior securities during the three months ended March 31,
2011.
Item 4. Removed and Reserved
