1.                   Overview and Basis of Presentation

 

Overview

 

The Company is a marketing and publishing services enterprise servicing the school affinity, direct marketing, fragrance and cosmetics sampling and educational publishing markets.  The Company was formed through the October 2004 consolidation of Jostens, Inc. (“Jostens”), Von Hoffmann Holdings Inc. (“Von Hoffmann”) and AHC I Acquisition Corp. (“Arcade”).  These subsidiaries operate in five reportable segments:  Jostens Scholastic, Jostens Yearbook, Jostens Photo, Marketing and Publishing Services and Educational Textbook.

 

Basis of Presentation

 

The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included herein are those of:

 

                  Visant Holding Corp. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries (“Holdings”) which include Visant Corporation (“Visant”); and

                  Visant and its wholly-owned subsidiaries.

 

There are no significant differences between the results of operations and financial condition of Visant and those of Holdings other than the certain indebtedness of Holdings.  Holdings has 10 ¼% senior discount notes, which had an accreted value of $189.4 million and $171.4 million as of April 1, 2006 and April 2, 2005, respectively, and $350.0 million principal amount of 8 ¾% Senior Notes.

 

All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

 

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of Holdings and Visant, and their respective subsidiaries, are presented pursuant to the rules and regulations of the United States Securities Exchange Commission (“SEC”) in accordance with disclosure requirements for the quarterly report on Form 10-Q.  In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included.  Operating results for the interim periods presented are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the full year.  These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and footnotes included in Holdings’ and Visant’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2005.

 

The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires the Company to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes.  Actual results could differ from those estimates.

 

2.                   Significant Accounting Policies

 

Revenue Recognition

 

The SEC’s Staff Accounting Bulletin (“SAB”) No. 104, “Revenue Recognition”, provides guidance on the application of accounting principles generally accepted in the United States to selected revenue recognition issues. In accordance with SAB No. 104, the Company recognizes revenue when the earnings process is complete, evidenced by an agreement between the Company and the customer, delivery and acceptance has occurred, collectibility is probable and pricing is fixed or determinable. Revenue is recognized when (1) products are shipped (if shipped FOB shipping point), (2) products are delivered (if shipped FOB destination) or (3) as services are performed as determined by contractual agreement, but in all cases only when risk of loss has transferred to the customer and the Company has no further performance obligations.

Cost of Products Sold

 

Cost of products sold primarily include the cost of paper and other materials, direct and indirect labor and related benefit costs, depreciation of production assets and shipping and handling costs.

 

Shipping and Handling

 

Net sales include amounts billed to customers for shipping and handling costs. Costs incurred for shipping and handling are recorded in cost of products sold.

 

Selling and Administrative Expenses

 

Selling and administrative expenses primarily include salaries and related benefits of sales and administrative personnel, sales commissions, amortization of intangibles and professional fees such as audit and consulting fees.

 

Advertising

 

The Company expenses advertising costs as incurred.  Selling and administrative expenses included advertising expense of $1.4 million for each of the quarters ended April 1, 2006 and April 2, 2005.

 

Warranty Costs

 

Provisions for warranty costs related to Jostens’ scholastic products, particularly class rings, are recorded based on historical information and current trends in manufacturing costs due to their lifetime warranty. The provision related to the lifetime warranty is based on the number of rings manufactured in the prior school year consistent with industry standards. The provision for the lifetime warranty on rings was less than $0.2 million for each of the quarters ended April 1, 2006 and April 2, 2005. Warranty repair costs for rings manufactured in the current school year are expensed as incurred. Accrued warranty costs included in the consolidated balance sheets were approximately $1.0 million as of April 1, 2006, April 2, 2005 and December 31, 2005.

 

Share-based Compensation

 

Effective January 1, 2006, the Company adopted Statements of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) 123 (revised 2004), “Share Based Payment” (“SFAS 123R”), which requires the recognition of compensation expense related to all equity awards granted  including awards modified, repurchased, or cancelled based on the fair values of the awards at the grant date.  For the three months ended April 1, 2006, the Company recognized compensation expense related to stock options of $0.1 million, which is included in selling, general and administrative expenses.  Refer to Note 13, Stock-based Compensation, for further details.

 

3.                   The Transactions

 

On October 4, 2004, an affiliate of Kohlberg Kravis Roberts & Co. L.P. (“KKR”) and affiliates of DLJ Merchant Banking Partners completed transactions (collectively, the “Transactions”) which created a marketing and publishing services enterprise, servicing the school affinity products, direct marketing, fragrance and cosmetics sampling and educational markets comprised of the operations of Jostens, Von Hoffmann, The Lehigh Press, Inc. and Arcade.

 

Prior to the Transactions, Von Hoffmann and Arcade were each controlled by affiliates of DLJ Merchant Banking Partners II, L.P. (“DLJMBP II”) and DLJ Merchant Banking Partners III, L.P. (“DLJMBP III”) owned approximately 82.5% of Holdings’ outstanding equity, with the remainder held by other co-investors and certain members of management.  Upon consummation of the Transactions, an affiliate of KKR invested $256.1 million and was issued equity interests representing approximately 49.6% of voting interest and 45.0% of economic interest of the Company and affiliates of DLJMBP III held equity interests representing approximately 41.0% of voting interest and 45.0% of economic interest, with the remainder held by other co-investors and certain members of management.  In connection with the Transactions, approximately $175.6 million of the proceeds were distributed to certain shareholders, and certain

Precious Metals Consignment Arrangement

 

The Company has a precious metals consignment arrangement with a major financial institution whereby it currently has the ability to obtain up to $32.5 million in consigned inventory.  As required by the terms of the consignment agreement, the Company does not take title to consigned inventory until payment.  Accordingly, the Company does not include the value of consigned inventory or the corresponding liability in the financial statements.  The value of consigned inventory at April 1, 2006, April 2, 2005 and December 31, 2005, was $19.5 million, $20.6 million and $26.1 million, respectively.  The consignment agreement does not have a stated term, and therefore it can be terminated by either party upon 60 days written notice.  Additionally, the Company expensed consignment fees related to this facility of $0.2 million and $0.1 million for the three months ended April 1, 2006 and April 2, 2005, respectively.

In connection with the Transactions, Visant entered into senior secured credit facilities, providing for an aggregate amount of $1,270 million, including a $250 million revolving credit facility, and issued $500 million aggregate principal amount of 75/8% senior subordinated notes.   Also in connection with the Transactions, Jostens, Von Hoffmann and Arcade repaid their existing indebtedness having an aggregate face value of $1,392.6 million, including the redemption value of certain remaining redeemable preferred stock.

 

Visant’s obligations under the senior secured credit facilities are unconditionally and irrevocably guaranteed jointly and severally by Visant Secondary Holdings Corp., a direct wholly-owned subsidiary of Holdings and the direct parent of Visant, and by Visant’s material current and future domestic subsidiaries.  The obligations of Visant’s principal Canadian operating subsidiary under the senior secured credit facilities are unconditionally and irrevocably guaranteed jointly and severally by Visant Secondary Holdings Corp., Visant, Visant’s material current and future domestic subsidiaries and Visant’s other current and future Canadian subsidiaries.  Visant’s obligations under the senior secured credit facilities, and the guarantees of those obligations, are secured by substantially all of Visant’s assets and substantially all of the assets of Visant Secondary Holdings Corp. and Visant’s material current and future domestic subsidiaries, including but not limited to:

 

                  all of Visant’s capital stock and the capital stock of each of Visant’s existing and future direct and indirect subsidiaries, except that with respect to foreign subsidiaries such lien and pledge is limited to 65% of the capital stock of “first-tier” foreign subsidiaries; and

                  substantially all of Visant’s material existing and future domestic subsidiaries’ tangible and intangible assets.

The obligations of Jostens Canada Ltd. under the senior secured credit facilities, and the guarantees of those obligations, are secured by the collateral referred to in the prior paragraph and substantially all of the tangible and intangible assets of Jostens Canada Ltd. and each of Visant’s other current and future Canadian subsidiaries.

 

Amounts borrowed under the term loan facilities that are repaid or prepaid may not be reborrowed.  Visant’s senior secured facilities allow us, subject to certain conditions, to incur additional term loans under the term loan C facility, or under a new term facility, in either case in an aggregate principal amount of up to $300 million, which additional term loans will have the same security and guarantees as the term A and C loan facilities.

 

The senior secured credit facilities require Visant to meet a maximum total leverage ratio, a minimum interest coverage ratio and a maximum capital expenditures limitation.  In addition, the senior secured credit facilities contain certain restrictive covenants which will, among other things, limit Visant’s and its subsidiaries’ ability to incur additional indebtedness, pay dividends, prepay subordinated debt, make investments, merge or consolidate, change the business, amend the terms of Visant’s subordinated debt and engage in certain other activities customarily restricted in such agreements.  It also contains certain customary events of default, subject to grace periods, as appropriate.

 

The dividend restrictions under the Visant senior secured credit facilities apply only to Visant and Visant Secondary Holdings Corp., and essentially prohibit all dividends other than (1) for dividends paid on or after April 30, 2009 and used by Holdings to make regularly-scheduled cash interest payments on its senior discount notes, subject to compliance with the interest coverage covenant after giving effect to such dividends, (2) for other dividends so long as the amount thereof does not exceed $50 million plus an additional amount based on Visant’s net income and the amount of any capital contributions received by Visant after October 4, 2005 and (3) pursuant to other customary exceptions, including redemptions of stock made with other, substantially similar stock or with proceeds of concurrent issuances of substantially similar stock.

 

The indentures governing Visant’s senior subordinated notes and Holdings’ senior discount notes and senior notes also contain numerous covenants including, among other things, restrictions on the ability to:  incur or guarantee additional indebtedness or issue disqualified or preferred stock; pay dividends or make other equity distributions; repurchase or redeem capital stock; make investments or other restricted payments; sell assets or consolidate or merge with or into other companies; create limitations on the ability of restricted subsidiaries to make dividends or distributions to its parent company; engage in transactions with affiliates; and create liens.

 

The indenture governing the Visant notes restricts Visant and its restricted subsidiaries from paying dividends or making any other distributions on account of Visant’s or any restricted subsidiary’s equity interests (including any dividend or distribution payable in connection with any merger or consolidation) other than (1) dividends or distributions by Visant payable in equity interests of Visant or in options, warrants or other rights to purchase equity interests or (2) dividends or distributions by a restricted subsidiary, subject to certain conditions.

 

The indentures governing the Holdings’ senior discount notes and senior notes restricts Holdings and its restricted subsidiaries from declaring or paying dividends or making any other distribution (including any payment by Holdings or any restricted subsidiary of Holdings in connection with any merger or consolidation involving Holdings or any of its restricted subsidiaries) on account of Holdings’ or any of its restricted subsidiaries’ equity interests (other than dividends or distributions payable in certain equity interests and dividends payable to Holdings or any restricted subsidiary of Holdings).

 

Visant’s senior secured credit facilities and senior subordinated notes contain certain cross-default and cross-acceleration provisions whereby a default under or acceleration of other material debt obligations would cause a default under or acceleration of the senior secured credit facilities and the Visant senior subordinated notes.

 

Any failure to comply with the covenants under the senior secured credit facilities would constitute a default under the senior secured credit facilities, which could result in an acceleration of the loans and other obligations owing thereunder.  As of April 1, 2006, after giving effect to the incurrence of the $350.0 million principal amount of 8 ¾% Senior Notes, the Company was in compliance with all covenants under its material debt obligations.

As of April 1, 2006, there was $28.6 million outstanding in the form of short-term borrowings under the senior secured credit facilities, including $11.9 million at the Jostens’ Canadian subsidiary, at a weighted average interest rate of 7.00%, and an additional $16.7 million outstanding in the form of letters of credit, leaving $221.4 million available under the $250 million revolving credit facility.

 

At the end of the first quarter of 2006, Holdings privately placed, $350.0 million of 8 ¾% Senior Notes due 2013, subject to settlement on April 4, 2006.  The senior unsecured notes are not guaranteed by any of the Company’s subsidiaries. As a result, on April 4, 2006, the Company received proceeds net of $9.3 million of deferred financing costs.  All net proceeds from the offering were used to fund a dividend to stockholders, which was paid on April 4, 2006.

 

9.                   Derivative Financial Instruments and Hedging Activities

 

The Company’s involvement with derivative financial instruments is limited principally to managing well-defined interest rate and foreign currency exchange risks.  Forward foreign currency exchange contracts may be used to hedge the impact of currency fluctuations primarily on inventory purchases denominated in euros.  At April 1, 2006, there were no contracts related to these activities outstanding.

 

10.            Commitments and Contingencies

 

The Company is subject to market risk associated with changes in the price of precious metals.  To mitigate the commodity price risk, the Company may from time to time enter into forward contracts to purchase gold, platinum and silver based upon the estimated ounces needed to satisfy projected customer demand.  The purchase commitment at April 1, 2006 was $2.7 million with delivery dates occurring throughout this year.  These forward purchase contracts are considered normal purchases and therefore not subject to the requirements of SFAS 133.  The fair market value of the open precious metal forward contracts at April 1, 2006 was $2.9 million, calculated by valuing each contract at quoted futures prices.

 

Environmental

 

The Company’s operations are subject to a wide variety of federal, state, local and foreign laws and regulations governing emissions to air, discharges to waters, the generation, handling, storage, transportation, treatment and disposal of hazardous substances and other materials, and employee health and safety matters. Costs incurred to comply with such laws and regulations have become more stringent over time.

 

Also, as an owner and operator of real property or a generator of hazardous substances, the Company may be subject to environmental cleanup liability, regardless of fault, pursuant to the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act or analogous state laws, as well as to claims for harm to health or property or for natural resource damages arising out of contamination or exposure to hazardous substances. Some of the Company’s current or past operations have involved metalworking and plating, printing, and other activities that have resulted in environmental conditions that have given rise to liabilities.

 

As part of the environmental management program, the Company is currently involved in environmental remediation at several properties. Principal among them is a property formerly owned and operated by Jostens for jewelry manufacturing. Although Jostens no longer owns the site, Jostens continues to manage the remediation project, which began in 2000. As of April 1, 2006, Jostens had made payments totaling $7.8 million for remediation at this site. During 2001, Jostens received reimbursement from its insurance carrier in the amount of $2.7 million, net of legal costs. Based on findings included in remediation reports, the Company estimates that the cost required to finish addressing environmental conditions is not material. The Company has properly accrued this amount in the consolidated balance sheet as of April 1, 2006.  Additionally, Jostens has ongoing monitoring obligations following the completion of remediation. The Company does not expect the cost of such ongoing monitoring to be material.

 

15



 

While Jostens may have an additional right of contribution or reimbursement under insurance policies, amounts recoverable from other entities with respect to a particular site are not considered until recoveries are deemed probable.

 

Legal Proceedings

 

On February 11, 2004, plaintiff Christian Pocino filed a complaint against Jostens in the Superior Court of California for the County of Los Angeles for alleged breach of express warranty (Cal. Comm. Code Section 2313), and for alleged violation of California’s false advertising and unfair competition laws (Cal. Bus. & Prof. Code Sections 17500 and 17200). Plaintiff alleged that Jostens violated these laws by purportedly violating Federal Trade Commission “guides” with regard to the marketing and sale of jewelry. Specifically, plaintiff contended that: (1) Jostens failed to comply with the FTC guide that every use of the word “stone” be immediately preceded by the word “imitation”, “synthetic” or a similar term; and (2) Jostens failed to comply with a separate FTC guide relating to use of the word silver in connection with Jostens’ SilverElite® with platinum alloy. Plaintiff sought equitable relief and unspecified monetary damages on behalf of himself and a purported class of similarly-situated consumers.

 

Jostens brought a demurrer and motion to strike the plaintiff’s complaint on June 25, 2004, challenging the legal sufficiency of plaintiff’s allegations on the basis, inter alia, that the FTC guides are nonbinding and that plaintiff’s allegations generally failed to state a claim on which relief could be granted. On August 13, 2004, the Superior Court sustained Jostens’ demurrer with leave to amend.

 

On August 25, 2004, the plaintiff filed an amended complaint which contained substantially the same allegations regarding “stones” while dropping the claims regarding SilverElite® with platinum. On September 29, 2004, Jostens filed another demurrer/motion to strike, challenging the legal sufficiency of plaintiff’s amended complaint. On November 24, 2004, the Superior Court again sustained Jostens’ demurrer with leave to amend. The plaintiff filed a second amended complaint dated December 16, 2004. The court dismissed the action on January 26, 2005. The plaintiff appealed the court’s decision and oral arguments were heard on March 15, 2006. The Court of Appeals of the State of California affirmed the trial court’s judgment in favor of Jostens in early May 2006.

 

In communications with U.S. Customs and Border Protection (“Customs”), the Company learned of an alleged inaccuracy of the tariff classification for certain of Jostens’ imports from Mexico. Jostens promptly filed with Customs a voluntary disclosure to limit its monetary exposure. The effect of these alleged tariff classification errors is that back duties and fees (or “loss of revenue”) may be owed on imports dating back five years. Additionally, Customs may impose interest on the loss of revenue, if any is determined. Presently, no formal notice of, or demand for, any alleged loss of revenue has been issued by Customs. A review of Jostens’ import practices has revealed that during the relevant five-year period, Jostens’ merchandise qualified for duty-free tariff treatment under the North American Free Trade Agreement (“NAFTA”), in which case there should be no loss of revenue or interest payment owed Customs. However, Customs’ allegations indicate that Jostens committed a technical oversight in claiming the preferential tariff treatment. Through its prior disclosure to Customs, Jostens has addressed this technical oversight and asserted that the merchandise did in fact qualify for duty-free tariff treatment under NAFTA and that there is no associated loss of revenue. Jostens is in the early stages of administrative review of this matter, and it is not clear what Customs’ position will be with respect to the alleged tariff classification errors or that Jostens will not be foreclosed under statute from making post-entry NAFTA claims for those imports made prior to 2004. Jostens intends to vigorously defend its position and has recorded no accrual for any potential liability. However, there can be no assurance that Jostens will be successful in its defense or that the disposition of this matter will not have a material effect on the business, financial condition and results of operations of the Company.

 

The Company is also a party to other litigation arising in the normal course of business. The Company regularly analyzes current information and, as necessary, provides accruals for probable liabilities on the eventual disposition of these matters. The Company believes the effect on the business, financial condition and results of operations, if any, for the disposition of these matters will not be material, however, there can be no assurance in this regard.

11.    Income Taxes

 

The Company has provided an income tax (benefit) provision based on its best estimate of the consolidated effective tax rate applicable for the entire year. The estimated consolidated effective tax rates were 41.4% and 40.0% for Holdings and Visant, respectively. During the quarter ended April 1, 2006, the Company reduced its deferred tax valuation allowance by $0.6 million because the Company estimates that a portion of the tax benefit attributable to capital loss carryforwards will be realized as a result of anticipated property dispositions during the year. The combined effect of reducing the valuation allowance by $0.6 million and applying the consolidated effective tax rates resulted in effective tax rates of 61.7% and 8.7%, respectively, for Holdings and Visant.

 

For the comparable three-month period ended April 2, 2005, the effective rates of income tax benefit for Holdings and Visant were 41.4% and 40.5%, respectively.

 

During April 2006, Holdings was notified by the Internal Revenue Service that the congressional Joint Committee on Taxation had approved a claim for refund by Jostens for the taxable years 2000 and 2001. The Company received a refund of Federal tax of approximately $7.6 million, including $1.2 million of interest. A substantial portion of the refund represents a reduction of goodwill, as the Company did not previously record any tax benefit since the amount of the refund, net of costs, was subject to significant uncertainty. The uncertain portion of the claim was attributable to transaction expenses incurred in connection with Jostens’ merger and recapitalization transaction of May 2000. The net tax benefit had been subject to significant uncertainty at the time Jostens revalued its assets and liabilities in connection with the July 2003 merger transaction with DLJ Merchant Banking Partners III, L.P. and certain of its affiliated funds.

As of December 31, 2005, the Company did not expect to contribute to its qualified pension plans in 2006 due to the funded status and this estimate has not changed as of April 1, 2006. For the three months ended April 1, 2006, the Company did not make any contributions to the qualified pension plan and contributed $0.6 million and $0.1 million to its nonqualified pension plans and to the postretirement welfare plans, respectively.

 

13.    Stock-based Compensation

 

Prior to January 1, 2006, the Company applied the intrinsic method under Accounting Principles Board Opinion (“APB”) 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees.”  Since all options previously granted were at fair value, no compensation cost was reflected in net income (loss). For the quarter ended April 2, 2005, the Company’s pro forma net income (loss) incorporating the stock-based compensation expense provisions under SFAS 123 would not have been materially different than reported net income (loss).

 

17



 

Effective January 1, 2006, the Company adopted SFAS 123R, which requires the recognition of compensation expense related to all equity awards based on the fair values of the awards at the grant date. The Company used the minimum value method in its SFAS 123 pro forma disclosure and therefore applied the prospective transition method as of the effective date. Under the prospective transition method, the Company would recognize compensation expense for equity awards granted, modified and canceled subsequent to the date of adoption.

 

The Company had granted non-employee awards to certain related parties, as disclosed in Note 15, Related-Party Transactions, prior to January 1, 2006, for which compensation expense has been recorded during the first quarter of 2006. For the quarter ended April 1, 2006, the Company recognized compensation expense related to stock options of $0.1 million which is included in selling, general and administrative expenses.

 

During the first quarter of 2006, the Company did not grant, cancel or have any equity awards exercised or forfeited. As of April 1, 2006 there were approximately 388,000 stock options outstanding of which 132,000 are exercisable.

 

Certain options granted prior to the adoption of SFAS 123R contain a repurchase feature whereby the company is obligated, under certain circumstances such as death and disability, to repurchase the option from the holder and settle amounts in cash. In accordance with SEC’s Staff Accounting Bulletin (“SAB”) No. 107, “Share-Based Payment”, such equity awards are considered temporary equity and have been reclassified from additional paid-in-capital to mezzanine equity in the balance sheet as of April 1, 2006.

Management Services Agreement

 

In connection with the Transactions, the Company entered into a management services agreement with the Sponsors pursuant to which the Sponsors agreed to provide certain structuring, consulting and management advisory services. Under the agreement, the Sponsors receive an annual advisory fee of $3.0 million that is payable quarterly and which increases by 3% per year. The Company paid $0.8 million associated with the advisory fees from the Sponsors for both the three month periods ended April 1, 2006 and April 2, 2005. The agreement also provides for certain indemnification by the Company from the Sponsors and their affiliates, directors, officers and representatives.

 

Other

 

The Company retained Capstone Consulting (“Capstone”) in 2004 to provide consulting services to certain segments primarily to identify and advise on potential opportunities to improve operating efficiencies. During the first quarter of 2006, Capstone did not provide consulting services to the Company. Although neither KKR nor any

 

19



 

entity affiliated with KKR owns any of the equity of Capstone, KKR has provided financing to Capstone. In March 2005, an affiliate of Capstone invested $1.3 million in the Company’s Class A Common Stock and has been granted 13,527 options to purchase Class A Common Stock under the 2004 Stock Option Plan.

 

16.    Condensed Consolidating Guarantor Information

ITEM 2.        MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

 

Except where otherwise indicated, management’s discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations is provided with respect to Holdings, which has materially the same financial condition and results of operations as Visant. This discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with our condensed consolidated financial statements and notes thereto.

 

CAUTIONARY NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

 

This report contains forward-looking statements including, without limitation, statements concerning the conditions in our industry, expected cost savings, our operations, our economic performance and financial condition, including, in particular, statements relating to our business and growth strategy and product development efforts. These forward-looking statements are not historical facts, but only predictions and generally can by identified by use of statements that include such words as “may”, “might”, “will”, “should”, “estimate”, “project”, “plan”, “anticipate”, “expect”, “intend”, “outlook”, “believe” and other similar expressions that are intended to identify forward-looking statements and information. These forward-looking statements are based on estimates and assumptions by our management that, although we believe to be reasonable, are inherently uncertain and subject to a number of risks and uncertainties. These risks and uncertainties include, without limitation, those identified under Item 1A. Risk Factors included in our 2005 Annual Report on Form 10-K and elsewhere in this report.

 

The following list represents some, but not necessarily all, of the factors that could cause actual results to differ from historical results or those anticipated or predicted by these forward-looking statements:

 

    our substantial indebtedness;

 

    our inability to implement our business strategy and achieve anticipated cost savings in a timely and effective manner;

 

    competition from other companies;

 

    the seasonality of our businesses;

 

    the loss of significant customers or customer relationships;

 

    fluctuations in raw material prices;

 

    our reliance on a limited number of suppliers;

 

    our reliance on numerous complex information systems;

 

    the reliance of our businesses on limited production facilities;

 

    the amount of capital expenditures required for our businesses;

 

    labor disturbances;

 

    environmental regulations;

 

    foreign currency fluctuations and foreign exchange rates;

 

    the outcome of litigation;

 

    control by our stockholders;

 

    our dependency on the sale of school textbooks;

 

    the textbook adoption cycle and levels of government funding for education spending;

 

    Jostens, Inc.’s reliance on independent sales representatives; and

 

    the failure of our sampling systems to comply with U.S. postal regulations.

 

25



 

We caution you that the foregoing list of important factors is not exclusive. In addition, in light of these risks and uncertainties, the matters referred to in the forward-looking statements contained in this report may not in fact occur. Forward-looking statements speak only as of the date they are made and we undertake no obligation to update publicly or revise any of them in light of new information, future events or otherwise, except as required by law.

 

GENERAL

 

We are a leading marketing and publishing services enterprise servicing the school affinity, direct marketing, fragrance and cosmetics sampling and educational publishing markets. We were formed through the October 2004 consolidation of Jostens, Von Hoffmann and Arcade.

 

We operate in five reportable segments, which consist of:

 

    Jostens Scholastic—provides services related to the marketing, sale and production of class rings and graduation products;

 

    Jostens Yearbook—provides services related to the publication, marketing, sale and production of school yearbooks;

 

    Jostens Photo—provides school photography services;

 

    Marketing and Publishing Services—produces multi-sensory and interactive advertising sampling systems, primarily for the fragrance, cosmetics and personal care markets, and innovative products and services to the direct marketing sector. The group also produces testing and supplemental materials and related components for educational publishers; and

 

    Educational Textbook—produces four-color case-bound educational textbooks.

 

The Transactions

 

On October 4, 2004, an affiliate of KKR and affiliates of DLJ Merchant Banking Partners completed the Transactions which created a marketing and publishing services enterprise, servicing the school affinity products, direct marketing, fragrance and cosmetics sampling and educational markets comprised of the operations of Jostens, Von Hoffmann, The Lehigh Press, Inc. and Arcade.

 

Prior to the Transactions, Von Hoffmann and Arcade were each controlled by affiliates of DLJMBP II and DLJ DLJMBP III owned approximately 82.5% of Holdings’ outstanding equity, with the remainder held by other co-investors and certain members of management. Upon consummation of the Transactions, an affiliate of KKR invested $256.1 million and was issued equity interests representing approximately 49.6% of voting interest and 45.0% of economic interest of Holdings and affiliates of DLJMBP III held equity interests representing approximately 41.0% of voting interest and 45.0% of economic interest, with the remainder held by other co-investors and certain members of management. In connection with the Transactions, approximately $175.6 million of the proceeds were distributed to certain shareholders, and certain treasury stock held by Von Hoffmann was redeemed. After giving effect to the issuance of equity to additional members of management, as of May 10, 2006, affiliates of KKR and DLJMBP III held approximately 49.1% and 41.0%, respectively, of the voting interests of Holdings, while each continued to hold approximately 44.6% of economic interest. As of May 10, 2006, the other co-investors held approximately 8.4% of the voting interest and 9.1% of the economic interests of Holdings, and members of management held approximately 1.6% of the voting interest and approximately 1.7% of the economic interests.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

The preparation of interim financial statements involves the use of certain estimates that differ from those used in the preparation of the annual financial statements, the most significant of which relates to income taxes. For purposes of preparing our interim financial statements, we utilize an estimated annual effective tax rate based on estimates of the components that impact the tax rate. Those components are re-evaluated each interim period and, if changes in our estimates are significant, we modify our estimate of the annual effective tax rate and make any required adjustments in the interim period.

 

There have been no material changes to our critical accounting policies and estimates as described in Item 7 of our Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2005.

 

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

SFAS 123R - Statement of Accounting Standards No. 123 (revised 2004) Share-Based Payment

 

Effective January 1, 2006, we adopted SFAS 123R, which requires the recognition of compensation expense related to all equity awards granted, including awards modified, repurchased, or cancelled based on the fair values of the awards at the grant date. For the three months ended April 1, 2006, we recognized compensation expense related to stock options of $0.1 million relating to employee provided services. See Note 13, Share-based Compensation, to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for further discussion and details.

Net Sales. Consolidated net sales increased $3.5 million, or 1.1%, to $312.6 million for the three months ended April 1, 2006 from $309.1 million for the same period in 2005.

 

The net sales of the Jostens Scholastic segment increased $10.8 million, or 8.7%, to $134.4 million for the first quarter of 2006 from $123.6 million for the first quarter of 2005. The increase was primarily attributable to higher revenue from announcements and also higher first quarter diploma net sales due to improved production versus 2005’s first quarter. Jostens Yearbook net sales increased $0.3 million, or 4.1%, to $8.3 million for the quarter ended April 1, 2006 compared to $8.0 million in the first quarter of 2005. Net sales of the Jostens Photo segment decreased $0.7 million, or 9.0%, from $8.2 million for the first three months of 2005 to $7.5 million for the same period in 2006. The decrease reflects lower overall volume.

 

The net sales of the Marketing and Publishing Services segment decreased $6.1 million, or 4.8%, to $121.7 million during the first quarter of 2006 from $127.8 million in the first quarter of 2005. This decrease was primarily attributable to lower volume in our sampling business, $1.6 million of lower sales of paper to our customers and $1.2 million less revenue resulting from our shutdown of a facility in January 2005. The decrease was partially offset by solid growth in our direct marketing business.

 

The net sales of the Educational Textbook business decreased $1.3 million, or 2.9%, to $42.8 million in the first three months of 2006 from $44.1 million in the first quarter of 2005 due to lower overall volume from customers.

 

Gross Profit.  Gross profit increased $12.7 million, or 10.7%, to $132.3 million for the three months ended April 1, 2006 from $119.6 million for the same period in 2005.  As a percentage of net sales, gross profit margin increased to 42.3% for the three months ended April 1, 2006 from 38.7% for the same period last year.  Of the $12.7 million increase in gross profit for the three month period in 2006, approximately $2.2 million related to a reduction

in purchase accounting amortization compared to the prior year period.  The remaining increase relates to improved business performance in Jostens Printing and Scholastic segments as well as improved performance of our diploma business and cost savings realized from synergy programs that benefited all businesses.

 

Selling and Administrative Expenses. Selling and administrative expenses decreased $1.7 million, or 1.7%, to $101.5 million for the three months ended April 1, 2006 from $103.2 million in 2005. As a percentage of net sales, selling and administrative expenses decreased 0.9% to 32.5% for the first quarter of 2006 from 33.4% for the same period last year. The $1.7 million decrease was primarily due to the impact of administrative headcount reductions and lower depreciation and amortization expense partially offset by higher commission expense related to higher sales.

 

Special Charges. During the first quarter of 2006, we recorded $0.5 million of special charges relating to severance payments and related benefits associated with on-going initiatives. We recorded $0.1 million in each Jostens segment related to severance payments and related benefits associated with the reduction in headcount of eight Jostens Scholastic, two Jostens Yearbook and five Jostens Photo employees, respectively, and $0.2 million related to severance payments and related benefits associated with the reduction in headcount of three employees of the Marketing and Publishing Services segment.

 

During the first quarter of 2005, we recorded $3.0 million of special charges, including $1.8 million, $0.4 million and $0.1 million related to severance payments and related benefits associated with the reduction in headcount of 17 Jostens Scholastic, four Jostens Yearbook and three Jostens Photo employees, respectively. We recorded severance of $0.5 million related to the reduction in the Marketing and Publishing Services segment’s personnel as well as $0.3 million of costs related to a withdrawal liability under a union retirement plan that is payable in connection with the consolidation of certain operations. We also recorded severance of $0.2 million related to the reduction in the Educational Textbook segment’s personnel.

 

During the first quarter of 2006, we recognized an impairment loss related to the January 2006 pending sale of our Jostens headquarters building. As a result of the pending sale, we determined the carrying value of the building was not recoverable and subsequently reduced the carrying value by $2.3 million to its estimated value.

 

Operating Income. As a result of the aforementioned items, consolidated operating income increased $15.5 million, or 123.2%, to $28.1 million for the three months ended April 1, 2006 from $12.6 million in 2005. As a percentage of net sales, operating income increased to 9.0% for the first quarter of 2006 from 4.1% for the same period in 2005.

Net interest expense increased $0.5 million, or 1.6%, to $31.1 million for the three months ended April 1, 2006 as compared to $30.6 million for the same prior year period.  The increase was the result of higher interest rates on our variable rate term loan debt during the first three months of 2006 compared to the same prior year period.

 

Income taxes. We have provided an income tax (benefit) provision based on our best estimate of the consolidated effective tax rate applicable for the entire year. The estimated consolidated effective tax rates were 41.4% and 40.0% for Holdings and Visant, respectively. During the quarter ended April 1, 2006, we reduced our deferred tax valuation allowance by $0.6 million because we estimate that a portion of the tax benefit attributable to capital loss carryforwards will be realized as a result of anticipated property dispositions during the year. The combined effect of reducing the valuation allowance by $0.6 million and applying the consolidated effective tax rates resulted in effective tax rates of 61.7% and 8.7%, respectively, for Holdings and Visant.

 

For the comparable three-month period ended April 2, 2005, the effective rates of income tax benefit for Holdings and Visant were 41.4% and 40.5%, respectively.

 

During April 2006, Holdings was notified by the Internal Revenue Service that the congressional Joint Committee on Taxation had approved a claim for refund by Jostens for the taxable years 2000 and 2001. We received a refund of Federal tax of approximately $7.6 million, including $1.2 million of interest. A substantial portion of the refund represents a reduction of goodwill, as we did not previously record any tax benefit since the amount of the refund, net of costs, was subject to significant uncertainty. The uncertain portion of the claim was attributable to transaction expenses incurred in connection with Jostens’ merger and recapitalization transaction of May 2000. The net tax benefit had been subject to significant uncertainty at the time Jostens revalued its assets and liabilities in connection with the July 2003 merger transaction with DLJ Merchant Banking Partners III, L.P. and certain of its affiliated funds.

 

Net Loss.  As a result of the aforementioned items, net loss decreased $9.4 million, or 89.2%, to a net loss of $1.1 million for the three months ended April 1, 2006 compared to a net loss of $10.5 million for the same period in 2005.

For the three months ended April 1, 2006, operating activities generated cash of $46.9 million compared with cash generated by operating activities of $16.1 million for the same prior year period.    The $30.8 million increase related to lower working capital requirements and increased earnings for the three months ended 2006 compared to the same prior year period.  Net cash used in investing activities for the three months ended April 1, 2006 was $19.9 million, compared with $16.2 million for the comparable 2005 period.  The $3.7 million increase related to additional capital expenditures in the current year compared to the same prior year period.  There were no financing activities during the first quarter of 2006 as compared to $57.0 million in the three month period of 2005, which was comprised of debt prepayments of $63.6 million offset by $5.9 million from proceeds of equity investments by certain members of management.

 

As of April 1, 2006, we had cash and cash equivalents of $47.7 million.  Our principal sources of liquidity are cash flows from operating activities and borrowings under Visant’s senior secured credit facilities, which included $221.4 million available under Visant’s revolving credit facility as of April 1, 2006.  We use cash primarily for debt service obligations, capital expenditures and to fund other working capital requirements.  We intend to fund ongoing operations through cash generated by operations and borrowings under the revolving credit facility.

 

As of April 1, 2006, we were in compliance with all covenants under our material debt obligations.

 

Based upon the current level of operations, we believe that cash flow from operations, available cash and short-term investments, together with borrowings available under Visant’s senior secured credit facilities, are adequate to meet our future liquidity needs for the next twelve months.

There have been no material changes in our exposure to market risk during the quarter ended April 1, 2006. For additional information, refer to Item 7A of our 2005 Form 10-K.

 

ITEM 4.          CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

 

Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate controls over financial reporting, as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (“the Exchange Act”).
