VISANT HOLDING CORP.
VISANT CORPORATION
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)

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 market segments.  The Company was formed through the October 2004 consolidation of Jostens, Inc. (“Jostens”), Von Hoffmann Holdings Inc. (“Von Hoffmann” including The Lehigh Press, Inc. subsidiary (“Lehigh”)) and AHC I Acquisition Corp. (“Arcade”).  Jostens, Arcade and Lehigh are currently integrated into three reportable segments:  Scholastic, Yearbook and Marketing and Publishing Services.  Von Hoffmann was sold in May 2007.

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 Corporation and those of Visant Holding Corp., other than certain indebtedness of Holdings.  Holdings has 10.25% senior discount notes due 2013, which had an accreted value of $214.6 million and $204.2 million as of June 30, 2007 and December 30, 2006, respectively, and $350.0 million principal amount of 8.75% senior notes due 2013 as of June 30, 2007 and December 30, 2006.

All 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 U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “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 30, 2006.

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.

2.              Significant Accounting Policies

Revenue Recognition

The SEC’s Staff Accounting Bulletin (“SAB”) 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.

7




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 $1.1 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2007 and $0.9 million for the quarter ended July 1, 2006.  Advertising expense totaled $3.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2007 and $2.2 for the six months ended July 1, 2006.

Warranty Costs

Provisions for warranty costs related to Jostens’ scholastic products, particularly class rings due to their lifetime warranty, are recorded based on historical information and current trends in manufacturing costs.  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 $0.1 million and $0.1 million for the quarters ended June 30, 2007 and July 1, 2006, respectively.  For the six months ended June 30, 2007 and July 1, 2006, the provision for the warranty was $0.1 million for both periods.  Warranty repair costs for rings manufactured in the current school year are expensed as incurred. Accrued warranty costs included in the condensed consolidated balance sheets were approximately $0.6 million for both June 30, 2007 and December 30, 2006.

Stock-based Compensation

Effective January 1, 2006, the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) SFAS No. 123R (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-month periods ended June 30, 2007 and July 1, 2006, the Company recognized total compensation expense related to stock options of $0.1 million and less than $0.1 million, respectively, which is included in selling, general and administrative expenses.  Stock-based compensation expense totaled $0.3 million and $0.1 million for the six-month periods ended June 30, 2007 and July 1, 2006, respectively.  Refer to Note 15, Stock-based Compensation, for further details.

Mezzanine Equity

Certain management stockholder agreements contain a repurchase feature whereby Holdings is obligated, under certain circumstances such as death and disability (as defined in the agreements), to repurchase the common equity from the holder and settle amounts in cash.  In accordance with SAB No. 107, Share-Based Payment, such equity instruments are considered temporary equity and have been classified as mezzanine equity in the balance sheets as of June 30, 2007 and December 30, 2006.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Effective at the beginning of fiscal 2007, we adopted FASB Interpretation No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes (“FIN 48”), which clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an enterprise’s financial statements in accordance with SFAS No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes.  FIN 48 requires applying a “more likely than not” threshold to the recognition and derecognition of tax positions.  In connection with the adoption of FIN 48, effective at

8




the beginning of the first quarter of 2007, the Company made a change in accounting principle for the classification of interest income on tax refunds.  In addition, since the adoption of FIN 48, all interest and penalties on income tax assessments have been recorded as income tax expense and included as part of the Company’s unrecognized tax benefit liability.  Refer to Note 13, Income Taxes, for further details.

In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, Fair Value Measurements (“SFAS No. 157”), which establishes a framework for measuring fair value and requires enhanced disclosures about fair value measurements. SFAS No. 157 requires companies to disclose the fair value of their financial instruments according to a fair value hierarchy as defined in the standard.  SFAS No. 157 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007, and interim periods within those fiscal years.  We are currently assessing the impact of SFAS No. 157 on our financial statements.

In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 158, Employers’ Accounting for Defined Benefit Pension and Other Postretirement Plans (“SFAS No. 158”).  SFAS No. 158 requires: the recognition of the funded status of a benefit plan in the balance sheet; the recognition in other comprehensive income of gains or losses and prior service costs or credits arising during the period but which are not included as components of periodic benefit cost; the measurement of defined benefit plan assets and obligations as of the balance sheet date; and disclosure of additional information about the effects on periodic benefit cost for the following fiscal year arising from delayed recognition in the current period. In addition, SFAS No. 158 amends SFAS No. 87, Employers’ Accounting for Pensions, and SFAS No. 106, Employers’ Accounting for Postretirement Benefits Other Than Pensions, to include guidance regarding selection of assumed discount rates for use in measuring the benefit obligation.  The new guidance will be effective for us for the first fiscal year ending after June 15, 2007.  We are currently assessing the impact of SFAS No. 158 on our financial statements.

In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities (“SFAS No. 159”).  SFAS No. 159 permits entities to measure many financial assets and financial liabilities at fair value.  Unrealized gains and losses on items for which the fair value option has been elected are reported in earnings.  SFAS No. 159 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007.  We are currently assessing the impact of SFAS No. 159 on our financial statements.

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 a series of transactions which created a marketing and publishing services enterprise, servicing the school affinity, direct marketing, fragrance and cosmetics sampling and educational publishing market segments through the consolidation of Jostens, Von Hoffmann and Arcade (the “Transactions”).

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 the voting interest and 45.0% of the economic interest of Holdings, and affiliates of DLJMBP III held equity interests representing approximately 41.0% of the voting interest and 45.0% of the economic interest of Holdings, with the remainder held by other co-investors and certain members of management.  After giving effect to the issuance of equity to additional members of management, as of June 30, 2007, affiliates of KKR and DLJMBP III (the “Sponsors”) held approximately 49.0% and 41.0%, respectively, of the voting interest of Holdings, while each continued to hold approximately 44.6% of the economic interest of Holdings.  As of June 30, 2007, the other co-investors held approximately 8.4% of the voting interest and 9.1% of the economic interest of Holdings, and members of management held approximately 1.6% of the voting interest and approximately 1.7% of the economic interest of Holdings.

4.     Restructuring Activity and Other Special Charges

Restructuring Activity

Special charges for the second quarter and six months ended June 30, 2007 represent a reversal of less than $0.1 million for severance and related benefit costs associated with headcount reductions in the Scholastic and Yearbook segments.

9




Special charges for the second quarter of 2006 represents a net reversal of $0.2 million of special charges.  The Company reduced its restructuring accrual by $0.2 million for amounts related to the 2004 closure of Jostens’ Red Wing, Minnesota facility.  The Marketing and Publishing Services segment recorded $0.1 million of severance costs and related benefits associated with the reduction of three employees.

Special charges for the six-month period ended July 1, 2006 included $2.3 million relating to an impairment loss to reduce the value of the former Jostens corporate office buildings, which were later sold, and approximately $0.3 million of special charges for severance and related benefit costs.  These special charges included $0.1 million related to Scholastic, less than $0.1 million related to Yearbook, and $0.2 million related to the Marketing and Publishing Services segment for severance costs and related benefits.  Headcount reductions associated with these activities were eight for Scholastic, two for Yearbook, and three for Marketing and Publishing Services.

Restructuring accruals of $0.6 million and $1.4 million as of June 30, 2007 and December 30, 2006, respectively, are included in other accrued liabilities in the condensed consolidated balance sheets.  The accruals include amounts provided for severance related to reductions in corporate and administrative employees from the Scholastic, Yearbook and Marketing and Publishing Services segments.

On a cumulative basis through June 30, 2007, the Company incurred $17.5 million of employee severance costs related to initiatives during the period from 2004 to June 30, 2007, which affected an aggregate of 254 employees.  As of June 30, 2007, the Company had paid $16.8 million in cash related to these initiatives.

Changes in the restructuring accruals during the first six months of 2007 were as follows:

The Company expects the majority of the remaining severance related to the 2004, 2005 and 2006 initiatives to be paid during the remainder of 2007.

5.              Acquisitions

On March 16, 2007, the Company acquired all of the outstanding capital stock of Neff Holding Company and its wholly owned subsidiary Neff Motivation, Inc. (“Neff”) for approximately $30.5 million in cash, including cash on hand of $3.0 million.  Neff is a leading single source provider of custom award programs and apparel, including chenille letters and letter jackets, to the scholastic market segment.

On June 14, 2007, the Company acquired all of the outstanding capital stock of Visual Systems, Inc. (“VSI”), a leading supplier in the overhead transparency and book component business.  The Company acquired VSI for approximately $25.1 million (including a payment to be made in 2009) and subject to a working capital adjustment.  VSI is a market leader in providing overhead transparencies for a variety of publishers, including through key relationships in the educational market segment.  VSI also provides a variety of other visual communication products, including cover components, teaching aids and inserts and overlays.

The acquisitions were accounted for as purchases in accordance with the provisions of SFAS No. 141, Business Combinations (“SFAS 141”).  The costs of the acquisitions were allocated to the tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed based upon their relative fair values as of the date of the acquisition.  The estimates utilized to determine the purchase price allocation are subject to change due to certain working capital adjustments.

The results of these acquired operations have been included in the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements since the respective date of acquisition.

Customer relationships will be amortized over a ten-year period.  The restrictive covenants will be amortized over the average life of the agreements, which is approximately two years.

The results of Neff operations are reported as part of the Scholastic segment from the acquisition date, and as such, all of its goodwill will be allocated to that segment.  None of the goodwill will be amortizable for tax purposes. The results of VSI are included in the Marketing and Publishing services segment from the acquisition date and substantially all of the goodwill will be fully amortizable for tax purposes.

These acquisitions, both individually and in the aggregate, were not material to the Company’s operations, financial positions or cash flows.

6.     Discontinued Operations

During the second quarter of 2006, the Company consummated the sale of its Jostens Photography businesses, which previously comprised a reportable segment.

In May 2007, the Company completed the sale of its Von Hoffmann Holdings Inc., Von Hoffmann Corporation and Anthology, Inc. businesses (“Von Hoffmann businesses”) which had previously been classified as assets held for sale. Von Hoffmann previously comprised the Educational Textbook segment and a portion of the Marketing and Publishing Services segment. The operations of the Von Hoffmann businesses, through the date of sale, are reported as discontinued operations in the condensed consolidated financial statements for all periods presented.  The Company recognized net proceeds of $401.8 million, subject to a working capital adjustment, and a gain of $98.4 million on the transaction during the second quarter of 2007.

The results of the Jostens Photography and the Von Hoffmann businesses have been reclassified on the condensed consolidated statement of operations and are included in the caption titled “Income from discontinued operations, net of tax.”  Previously the results of these businesses included certain allocated corporate costs, which have been reallocated to the remaining continuing operations.

Precious Metals Consignment Arrangement

The Company has a precious metals consignment agreement 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 its financial statements.  The value of consigned inventory at June 30, 2007 and December 30, 2006, was $17.7 million and $16.4 million, respectively.  The consignment agreement does not have a stated term and can be terminated by either party upon 60 days written notice.  Additionally, the Company expensed consignment fees related to this facility of $0.1 million and $0.2 million  for the three months ended June 30, 2007 and July 1, 2006, respectively.  The consignment fees expensed for the six months ended June 30, 2007 and July 1, 2006 were $0.2 million and $0.4 million, respectively.

Goodwill acquired during the six months ended June 30, 2007 primarily relates to the acquisition of Neff for approximately $12.5 million and the acquisition of VSI for approximately $2.9 million.  Neff’s results are included in the Scholastic reporting segment from the date of acquisition, and VSI’s results are included in the Marketing and Publishing Services reporting segment from the date of acquisition.  The reduction in goodwill of $2.3 million resulted from the adoption of FIN 48 for a pre-acquisition tax uncertainty in connection with the Jostens merger transaction in July 2003.

As of June 30, 2007, goodwill had been allocated to reporting segments as follows:

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 7.625% 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

15




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 C loan facility.

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, 2004, 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.

Visant’s senior subordinated notes are guaranteed, jointly and severally, on a senior subordinated unsecured basis, by each of Visant’s material current and future domestic subsidiaries. The indenture governing Visant’s senior subordinated 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 exceptions.

The indentures governing Holdings’ senior discount notes and senior notes restrict 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), subject to certain exceptions.

16




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

A failure to comply with the covenants under the senior secured credit facilities, subject to certain grace periods, 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 June 30, 2007, the Company was in compliance with all covenants under its material debt obligations.

During the second quarter of 2007, the Company voluntarily prepaid $400.0 million of term loans under its senior secured credit facilities, including all originally scheduled principal payments due under its term loan C facility for 2006-2011.  With these prepayments, the outstanding balance under the term loan C facility was reduced to $316.5 million.

As of June 30, 2007, there was $15.4 million outstanding in the form of letters of credit, leaving $234.6 million available under the Visant $250 million revolving credit facility.

11.                               Derivative Financial Instruments and Hedging Activities

The Company may enter into or purchase derivative financial instruments principally to manage interest rate, foreign currency exchange and commodities exposures.  Forward foreign currency exchange contracts may be used to hedge the impact of currency fluctuations primarily on inventory purchases denominated in Euros.  At June 30, 2007, there were no contracts related to these activities outstanding.

12.                               Commitments and Contingencies

Forward Purchase Contracts

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 June 30, 2007 was $13.6 million with delivery dates occurring throughout 2007.  These forward purchase contracts are considered normal purchases and therefore not subject to the requirements of SFAS No. 133, Accounting for Derivatives and Hedging Activities. The fair market value of the open precious metal forward contracts at June 30, 2007 was $13.5 million based on quoted futures prices for each contract.

Environmental

Our operations are subject to a wide variety of federal, state, local and foreign laws and regulations governing emissions to air, discharges to water, the generation, handling, storage, transportation, treatment and disposal of hazardous substances and other materials, and employee health and safety matters.  Compliance with such laws and regulations has become more stringent and, accordingly, more costly over time.

Also, as an owner and operator of real property or a generator of hazardous substances, we 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 our 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 our environmental management program, we have been involved in environmental remediation on a property formerly owned and operated by Jostens for jewelry manufacturing.  Although Jostens no longer owns the site, Jostens managed the remediation project, which began in 2000.  As of June 30, 2007, Jostens had made payments totaling $8.1 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.  In July 2006, the State of Illinois Environmental Protection Agency issued a “No Further Remediation” letter with respect to this site.  Jostens has certain ongoing monitoring obligations.  We do not expect the cost of such ongoing monitoring to be material.

17




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

In communications with U.S. Customs and Border Protection (“Customs”), we 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 tariff classification errors is that back duties and fees (or “loss of revenue”) may be owed on certain imports.  Additionally, Customs may impose interest on the loss of revenue, if any is determined.  A review of Jostens’ import practices has revealed that during the relevant period, the subject 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 to Customs. However, Customs’ allegations indicate that Jostens committed a technical oversight in the classification used by Jostens in claiming the preferential tariff treatment.  Through its prior disclosure to Customs, Jostens 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.  In a series of communications received from Customs in December 2006, Jostens learned that Customs was disputing the validity of Jostens’ prior disclosure and asserting a loss of revenue in the amount of $2.9 million for duties owed on entries made in 2002 and 2003 and in a separate pre-penalty notice was advised that Customs was contemplating a monetary penalty in the amount of approximately $5.8 million (two times the alleged loss of revenue).  In order to obtain the benefits of the orderly continuation and conclusion of administrative proceedings, Jostens agreed to a two-year waiver of the statute of limitations with respect to the entries made in 2002 and 2003 that otherwise would have expired at the end of 2007 and 2008, respectively.  Jostens elected to continue to address this matter by filing a petition in response to the pre-penalty notice in January 2007, disputing Customs’ claims and advancing its arguments to support the position that no loss of revenue or penalty should be issued against the Company, or in the alternative, that any penalty based on a purely technical violation should be reduced to a nominal fixed amount reflective of the nature of the violation.  In May 2007, Customs issued a penalty notice assessing a loss of revenue (plus interest) and penalty as described above based on asserted negligence by Jostens.  In July 2007, Jostens filed a petition in response to the penalty notice challenging Customs’ findings and asserting that there has been no loss of revenue and that no penalty should be issued against Jostens or that, in the alternative, any penalty should be reduced to a nominal fixed amount reflective of the nature of the violation or mitigated on the basis that the imports at issue are nonetheless duty free. At this stage of the proceedings, the matter will be further evaluated by Customs.  Jostens intends to continue to vigorously defend its position and has recorded no accrual for any potential liability pending further communication with Customs.  Jostens has the opportunity to extend an offer in compromise to Customs in an effort to settle this matter in advance of a final administrative decision.  If Jostens were to do so, it would be required to tender the amount offered to Customs at the time.  It is not clear what Customs’ final position will be with respect to the alleged tariff classification errors or that Jostens will not be foreclosed from receiving NAFTA benefits for the subject imports. Jostens may not be successful in its defense, and the disposition of this matter may have a material effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

We are also a party to other litigation arising in the normal course of business. We regularly analyze current information and, as necessary, provide accruals for probable liabilities on the eventual disposition of these matters. We do not believe the effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations, if any, for the disposition of these matters will be material.

The Company has recorded income tax provisions for the six months ended June 30, 2007 based on its best estimate of the consolidated effective tax rate applicable for the entire 2007 year.  The estimated 2007 full-year consolidated effective tax rates were 37.2% and 36.9% for Holdings and Visant, respectively, before consideration of the effect of $0.3 million of tax and interest accruals for unrecognized tax benefits net of other income tax adjustments considered a period expense or benefit.  The combined effect of the annual estimated consolidated tax rates and the net current period tax adjustments resulted in effective tax rates of 37.5% and 37.1% for Holdings and Visant, respectively, for the six-month period ended June 30, 2007.  The annual estimated effective tax rates for 2007 were favorably affected by an increase in the rate of deduction for the U.S. domestic manufacturing deduction and by certain favorable state income tax effects resulting from the Company’s business acquisition and disposition activities.

For the comparable six-month period ended July 1, 2006, the effective rates of income tax expense for Holdings and Visant were 39.5% and 38.4%, respectively.  These rates were greater than the comparable rates for the 2007 period due

18




largely to the effect of a smaller rate of deduction in 2006 for the U.S. domestic manufacturing deduction and larger provisions for state income taxes during the comparable 2006 period.

In June 2006, the FASB issued FIN 48 which requires application of a “more likely than not” threshold to the financial statement recognition and derecognition of tax positions taken by the Company in its income tax filings.  Using the more likely than not standard under current tax law, FIN 48 requires that tax benefit recognition be adjusted to reflect the largest amount of benefit that is greater than 50% likely of being realized upon ultimate settlement.

In connection with the adoption of FIN 48, the Company made a change in accounting principle for the classification of interest income on tax refunds and tax-related interest expense and penalties.  Under the previous policy, the Company recorded interest income on tax refunds as interest income.   Under the new policy, any interest income in connection with income tax refunds is recorded as a reduction of income tax expense. In addition, the Company’s previous accounting policy was to report tax-related interest expense and penalties either as income tax expense in the case of uncertain tax positions or as interest expense in the case of routine tax assessments.  Upon adoption of FIN 48, all interest and penalties on income tax assessments is recorded as income tax expense and included as part of the Company’s unrecognized tax benefit liability.

The unrecognized tax benefit liability at December 31, 2006, the date of the Company’s adoption of FIN 48, was $12.4 million including $1.9 million of gross interest and penalty accruals.  In connection with such adoption, the Company recorded a $1.4 million increase to beginning retained earnings and a $2.3 million decrease to goodwill, with a corresponding reduction of $3.7 million in the existing reserve balance for uncertain tax positions.  These adjustments were required to adjust from the Company’s previous method of accounting for income tax loss contingencies under SFAS No. 5 to the method prescribed under FIN 48.  The adjustment to goodwill relates to a pre-acquisition tax uncertainty in connection with the Jostens merger transaction in July 2003.  As of December 31, 2006, the date of adoption of FIN 48, the amount of the Company’s unrecognized tax benefits that, if recognized, would affect the effective tax rate was $6.1 million excluding gross interest and penalty accruals of $1.9 million.  During the six months ended June 30, 2007, there were no material changes to the unrecognized tax benefit liability recorded at the time FIN 48 was adopted.

As of the date of adoption of FIN 48, the Company’s income tax filings for 2003 to 2006 were subject to examination in the U.S federal tax jurisdiction.  The Internal Revenue Service is examining two pre-acquisition tax filings for one of the Company’s subsidiaries for periods in 2004 and the Company’s tax filing for 2005.  The Company is also subject to examination in state and foreign tax jurisdictions for the 2002 to 2006 period, none of which was individually material.  The Company has filed appeals for a Canadian federal examination of tax years 1996 and 1997.  Though subject to uncertainty, the Company believes it has made appropriate provisions for all outstanding issues for all open years and in all applicable jurisdictions.  During the next twelve months it is possible that the unrecognized tax benefit liability, excluding interest accruals of $1.1 million, could decrease by approximately $4.4 million if the 2003 tax year is not examined.  The tax uncertainty relates to a pre-acquisition tax period, and the tax portion of any such adjustment would decrease goodwill.

As of December 31, 2006, the Company did not expect to contribute to its qualified pension plans in 2007 due to the funded status of the plans.  This estimate has not changed as of June 30, 2007.  For the six months ending June 30, 2007, the Company did not make any contributions to the qualified pension plans and contributed $1.0 million and $0.1 million to its nonqualified pension plans and postretirement welfare plans, respectively.  These payments to the nonqualified and postretirement welfare plans are consistent with the expected amounts disclosed as of December 31, 2006.

15.                               Stock-based Compensation

The 2003 Stock Incentive Plan (the “2003 Plan”) was approved by the Board of Directors and effective as of October 30, 2003. The 2003 Plan permits us to grant key employees and certain other persons stock options and stock awards and provides for a total of 288,023 shares of common stock for issuance of options and awards to employees of the Company and a total of 10,000 shares of common stock for issuance of options and awards to directors and other persons providing services to the Company. The maximum grant to any one person shall not exceed in the aggregate 70,400 shares.  We do not currently intend to make any additional grants under the 2003 Plan.  Option grants consist of “time options”, which vest and become exercisable in annual installments over the first five years following the date of grant and/or “performance options”, which vest and become exercisable over the first five years following the date of grant at varying levels based on the achievement of certain EBITDA targets, and in any event by the eighth anniversary of the date of grant.  The performance vesting includes certain carryforward provisions if targets are not achieved in a particular fiscal year and performance in a subsequent fiscal year satisfies cumulative performance targets, subject to certain conditions. Upon the occurrence of a “change in control” (as defined in the 2003 Plan), the unvested portion of any time option will immediately become vested and exercisable, and the vesting and exercisability of the unvested portion of any performance option may accelerate depending on the timing of the change of control and return on the equity investment by DLJMBP III in the Company as provided under the 2003 Plan.  A “change in control” under the 2003 Plan is defined as: (i) any person or other entity (other than any of Holdings’ subsidiaries), including any “person” as defined in Section 13(d)(3) of the Exchange Act, other than certain of the DLJMBP Funds or affiliated parties thereof becoming the beneficial owner, directly or indirectly, in a single transaction or a series of related transactions, by way of merger, consolidation or other business combination, of securities of Holdings representing more than 51% of the total combined voting power of all classes of capital stock of Holdings (or its successor) normally entitled to vote for the election of directors of Holdings or (ii) the sale of all or substantially all of the property or assets of Holdings to any unaffiliated person or entity other than one of Holdings’ subsidiaries, is consummated.  The Transactions did not constitute a change of control under the 2003 Plan. Options issued under the 2003 Plan expire on the tenth anniversary of the grant date. The shares underlying the options are subject to certain transfer and other restrictions set forth in that certain Stockholders Agreement dated July 29, 2003, by and among the Company and certain holders of the capital stock of the Company. Participants under the 2003 Plan also agree to certain restrictive covenants with respect to confidential information of the Company and non-competition in connection with their receipt of options.

All outstanding options to purchase Holdings’ common stock continued following the closing of the Transactions. In connection with the Transactions, all outstanding options to purchase Von Hoffmann and Arcade common stock were cancelled and extinguished. Consideration paid in respect of the Von Hoffmann options was an amount equal to the difference between the per share merger consideration in the Transactions and the exercise price therefor. No consideration was paid in respect of the Arcade options.

In connection with the closing of the Transactions, we established the 2004 Stock Option Plan, which permits us to grant key employees and certain other persons of the Company and its subsidiaries various equity-based awards, including stock

20




options and restricted stock. The plan, currently known as the Third Amended and Restated 2004 Stock Option Plan for Key Employees of Visant Holding Corp. and Subsidiaries (the “2004 Plan”), provides for the issuance of a total of 510,230 shares of Holdings Class A Common Stock. As of June 30, 2007 there were 54,626 shares available for grant under the 2004 Plan.  Shares related to grants that are forfeited, terminated, cancelled or expire unexercised become available for new grants. Under his employment agreement, Mr. Marc L. Reisch, the Chairman of our Board of Directors and our Chief Executive Officer and President, received awards of stock options and restricted stock under the 2004 Plan. Additional members of management have also received grants under the 2004 Plan. Option grants consist of “time options”, which vest and become exercisable in annual installments through 2009, and/or “performance options”, which vest and become exercisable following the date of grant based upon the achievement of certain EBITDA and other performance targets, and in any event by the eighth anniversary of the date of grant.  The performance vesting includes certain carryforward provisions if targets are not achieved in a particular fiscal year and performance in a subsequent fiscal year satisfies cumulative performance targets. Upon the occurrence of a “change in control” (as defined under the 2004 Plan), the unvested portion of any time option will immediately become vested and exercisable, and the vesting and exercisability of the unvested portion of any performance option may accelerate if certain EBITDA or other performance measures have been satisfied. A “change in control” under the 2004 Plan is defined as: (i) the sale (in one or a series of transactions) of all or substantially all of the assets of Holdings to an unaffiliated person; (ii) a sale (in one transaction or a series of transactions) resulting in more than 50% of the voting stock of Holdings being held by an unaffiliated person; (iii) a merger, consolidation, recapitalization or reorganization of Holdings with or into an unaffiliated person; if and only if any such event listed in (i) through (iii) above results in the inability of the Sponsors, or any member or members of the Sponsors, to designate or elect a majority of the Board (or the board of directors of the resulting entity or its parent company). The option exercise period is determined at the time of grant of the option but may not extend beyond the end of the calendar year that is ten calendar years after the date the option is granted.  All options, restricted shares and any common stock for which such equity awards are exercised or with respect to which restrictions lapse are governed by a management stockholders’ agreement and sale participation agreement.  As of June 30, 2007, there were 182,677 options and restricted shares vested under the 2004 Plan and 172,693 options and restricted shares subject to vesting.  In addition, there were 100,234 shares issued under the 2004 Plan owned outright by certain employees.

Effective January 1, 2006, the Company adopted SFAS No. 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.  Prior to the adoption of SFAS No. 123R, the Company used the minimum value method in its SFAS No. 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.

On April 4, 2006, the Company declared and paid a special cash dividend of $57.03 per share to the common stockholders of Holdings.  In connection with the special cash dividend, on April 4, 2006, the exercise prices of issued and outstanding options as of April 4, 2006 under the 2003 Plan and the 2004 Plan were reduced by an amount equal to the dividend.  The 2003 and 2004 Plans and underlying stock option agreements contain provisions that provide for anti-dilutive protection in the case of certain extraordinary corporate transactions, such as the special dividend, and the incremental compensation cost, defined as the difference in the fair value of the modified award immediately before and after the modification, was calculated as zero.  As a result of the above modification, all stock option awards previously accounted for under APB No. 25 will be prospectively accounted for under SFAS No. 123R.  Accordingly, no incremental compensation cost was recognized as a result of the modification.

For the three-month periods ended June 30, 2007 and July 1, 2006, the Company recognized total compensation expense related to stock options of $0.1 million and less than $0.1 million, respectively, which is included in selling, general and administrative expenses.  Stock-based compensation expense totaled $0.3 million and $0.1 million for the six-month periods ended June 30, 2007 and July 1, 2006, respectively.  For the three-month period ended June 30, 2007, no options were exercised or cancelled and an insignificant amount of options vested.  For the three-month period ended July 1, 2006, no options were granted or exercised.

During the quarter ended June 30, 2007, the Company granted 5,546 options under the 2004 Plan to certain employees of the Company or its subsidiaries.  The per-share weighted-average fair value of stock options granted during the quarter ended June 30, 2007 was $40.73 on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model.  The following key assumptions were used to value options issued:

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, except for certain indebtedness of Holdings.  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 the use of statements that include such words as “may”, “might”, “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 Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 30, 2006 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;

·                  our dependency on the sale of school textbooks;

30




·                  control by our stockholders;

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

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

·                  fluctuation in customers’ advertising spending; and

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

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 market segments. We were formed through the October 2004 consolidation of Jostens, Von Hoffmann and Arcade (the “Transactions”). We sell our products and services to end customers through several different sales channels including independent sales representatives and dedicated sales forces. Our sales and results of operations are impacted by general economic conditions, seasonality, cost of raw materials, school population trends, product quality and service and price.

As of December 2006, our Von Hoffmann Holdings Inc., Von Hoffmann Corporation and Anthology, Inc. businesses (the “Von Hoffmann businesses”) were held as assets for sale. On January 3, 2007, we entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement (the “Von Hoffmann Stock Purchase Agreement”) with R.R. Donnelley & Sons Company providing for the sale of the Von Hoffmann businesses, which previously comprised the Educational Textbook segment and a portion of the Marketing and Publishing Services segment. We closed the transaction on May 16, 2007. The operations of the Von Hoffmann businesses are reported as discontinued operations in the consolidated financial statements for all periods presented.

On March 16, 2007, the Company acquired all of the outstanding capital stock of Neff Holding Company and its wholly owned subsidiary Neff Motivation, Inc (“Neff”). Neff is a leading single source provider of custom award programs and apparel, including chenille letters and letter jackets, to the scholastic market segment.  Neff operates as a direct subsidiary of Visant under the Neff brand name and its results are reported as part of the Scholastic segment from the date of acquisition.

On June 14, 2007, the Company acquired all of the outstanding capital stock of Visual Systems, Inc. (“VSI”).  VSI is a leading supplier in the overhead transparency and book component business.  The acquisition of VSI complements our core publishing services businesses and affords us operational flexibility.  Results of VSI are included in the Marketing and Publishing Services segment from the date of acquisition.

Our three reportable segments as of June 30, 2007 consisted of:

·                  Scholastic—provides services related to the marketing, sale and production of class rings and an array of graduation products and other scholastic products to students and administrators primarily in high schools, colleges and other post-secondary institutions;

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

·                  Marketing and Publishing Services—produces multi-sensory and interactive advertising sampling systems, primarily for the fragrance, cosmetics and personal care market segments, and provides innovative products and services to the direct marketing sector. The group also produces book covers and other components for educational publishers.

We are seeing delays and some softness in the placement of orders in our direct marketing and sampling businesses which we believe result from tighter economic and general market conditions affecting the timing of decisions and the extent of advertising spending by our customers. These conditions could impact the timing of orders as well as the level of spending by our customers in direct marketing and sampling.

Company Background

On October 4, 2004, an affiliate of Kohlberg Kravis Roberts & Co. L.P. (“KKR”) and affiliates of DLJ Merchant Banking Partners completed a series of transactions which created a marketing and publishing services enterprise, servicing the school

31




affinity products, direct marketing, fragrance and cosmetics sampling and educational publishing market segments through the consolidation of Jostens, Von Hoffmann and Arcade (the “Transactions”).

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 our 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 our voting interest and 45.0% of our economic interest and affiliates of DLJMBP III held equity interests representing approximately 41.0% of Holdings’ voting interest and 45.0% of Holdings’ economic interest, with the remainder held by other co-investors and certain members of management.  After giving effect to the issuance of equity to additional members of management, as of August 6, 2007, affiliates of KKR and DLJMBP III (the “Sponsors”) held approximately 49.0% and 41.0%, respectively, of Holdings’ voting interest, while each continued to hold approximately 44.6% of Holdings’ economic interest. As of August 6, 2007, the other co-investors held approximately 8.4% of the voting interest and 9.1% of the economic interest of Holdings and members of management held approximately 1.6% of the voting interest and approximately 1.7% of the economic interest of Holdings.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The preparation of interim financial statements involves the use of certain estimates that differ from those used in the preparation of 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 Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 30, 2006.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Effective at the beginning of fiscal 2007, we adopted FASB Interpretation No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes (“FIN 48”), which clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an enterprise’s financial statements in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes.  FIN 48 requires applying a “more likely than not” threshold to the recognition and derecognition of tax positions.  In connection with the adoption of FIN 48, effective as of January 1, 2007, the Company made a change in accounting principle for the classification of interest income on tax refunds.  In addition, since the adoption of FIN 48, all interest and penalties on income tax assessments have been recorded as income tax expense and included as part of the Company’s unrecognized tax benefit liability.  The unrecognized tax benefit liability at December 31, 2006, the date of adoption of FIN 48, was $12.4 million including $1.9 million of gross interest and penalty accruals.  During the six months ended June 30, 2007, there were no material changes to the unrecognized tax benefit liability recorded at the time FIN 48 was adopted.  Refer to Note 13.

In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, Fair Value Measurements (“SFAS No. 157), which establishes a framework for measuring fair value and requires enhanced disclosures about fair value measurements. SFAS No. 157 requires companies to disclose the fair value of their financial instruments according to a fair value hierarchy as defined in the standard.  SFAS No. 157 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007, and interim periods within those fiscal years.  We are currently assessing the impact of SFAS No. 157 on our financial statements.

In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 158, Employers’ Accounting for Defined Benefit Pension and Other Postretirement Plans (“SFAS No. 158”).  SFAS No. 158 requires: the recognition of the funded status of a benefit plan in the balance sheet; the recognition in other comprehensive income of gains or losses and prior service costs or credits arising during the period but which are not included as components of periodic benefit cost; the measurement of defined benefit plan assets and obligations as of the balance sheet date; and disclosure of additional information about the effects on periodic benefit cost for the following fiscal year arising from delayed recognition in the current period. In addition, SFAS No. 158 amends SFAS No. 87, Employers’ Accounting for Pensions, and SFAS No. 106, Employers’ Accounting for Postretirement Benefits Other Than Pensions, to include guidance regarding selection of assumed discount rates for use in measuring the benefit obligation.  The new guidance will be effective for us for the first fiscal year ending after June 15, 2007.  We are currently assessing the impact of SFAS No. 158 on our financial statements.

32




In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities (“SFAS No. 159”).  SFAS No. 159 permits entities to measure many financial assets and financial liabilities at fair value.  Unrealized gains and losses on items for which the fair value option has been elected are reported in earnings.  SFAS No. 159 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007.  We are currently assessing the impact of SFAS No. 159 on our financial statements.

Net Sales.  Consolidated net sales increased $32.0 million, or 6.8%, to $501.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2007 from $469.5 million for the corresponding period in 2006.

The net sales of the Scholastic segment increased $6.2 million, or 4.8%, to $136.1 million for the second quarter of 2007 from $129.9 million for the second quarter of 2006.  The increase was primarily attributable to the acquisition of Neff during the first quarter of 2007 and the impact of price increases largely driven by the cost of precious metal which increased significantly throughout 2006.  This increase was partially offset by lower jewelry volume in the quarter compared to the same period in 2006.  A significant portion of the lower jewelry volume resulted from the loss of certain professional championship ring orders in 2007.

Yearbook net sales increased $10.2 million, or 4.0%, to $264.5 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2007 compared to $254.3 million in the second quarter of 2006.  The increase was due mainly to account growth and increased prices driven by new product and service offerings in 2007 compared to 2006.

The net sales of the continuing operations of the Marketing and Publishing Services segment increased $15.7 million, or 18.4%, to $101.0 million during the second quarter of 2007 from $85.3 million for the second quarter of 2006.  The increase was primarily attributable to higher volume in both our sampling and direct marketing businesses, including sales generated by the businesses acquired in 2006.  We also had increased volumes in our educational book component business.

Gross Profit.  Gross profit increased $26.0 million, or 10.1%, to $283.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2007 from $257.7 million for the same period in 2006.  As a percentage of net sales, gross profit margin increased to 56.6% for the three months ended June 30, 2007 from 54.9% for the same period in 2006.  The increase was attributable to:

·                  the impact of price increases in the Scholastic and Yearbook segments;

·                  cost reductions and continued productivity improvements in our Yearbook facilities; and

·                  timing of certain Yearbook expenses.

These increases were partially offset by:

·                  changes in the mix of work in the Marketing and Publishing Services segment that included higher material costs in the second quarter of 2007; and

·                  volume attributable to our 2006 acquisitions contributing a slightly lower margin than our historical sales.

Selling and Administrative Expenses.  Selling and administrative expenses increased $7.8 million, or 6.4%, to $129.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2007 from $121.6 million for the corresponding period in 2006.    The increase in selling and administrative expenses was the result of:

34




·                  higher commissions in the Scholastic segment associated with increased net sales of graduation products, which have a higher commission structure than other Scholastic products;

·                  development costs across all segments related to growth initiatives;

·                  higher information technology costs in the Scholastic and Yearbook segments; and

·                  expenses in 2007 associated with our 2006 acquisitions.

These increases were partially offset by:

·                  our continued cost-cutting efforts; and

·                  the timing of certain expenses.

As a percentage of net sales, selling and administrative expenses decreased 0.1% to 25.8% for the second quarter of 2007 from 25.9% for the same period in 2006.

Special Charges.  During the three months ended June 30, 2007 and July 1, 2006, the Company recorded net reversals for severance and related benefits costs in the Scholastic and Yearbook segments of $0.1 million and $0.2 million, respectively.

Operating Income.  Consolidated operating income increased $17.0 million, or 12.4%, to $154.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2007 from $137.1 million for the comparable period in 2006.  As a percentage of net sales, operating income increased to 30.7% for the second quarter of 2007 from 29.2% for the same period in 2006.  This increase was mainly attributable to the price increases and improvements in the Yearbook manufacturing process, partially offset by increased volume in our Marketing and Publishing Services segment, which has comparatively lower margins than our Scholastic and Yearbook segments.

Net Interest Expense.  Net interest expense was comprised of the following:

Net interest expense increased $5.3 million, or 14.1%, to $42.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2007 as compared to $37.4 million for the comparable prior year period.  The increase was due to higher amortization expense of deferred financing costs caused by the prepayment of $400.0 million of the term loans under the term loan C facility during the second quarter of 2007, partially offset somewhat by lower average borrowings due to such prepayments.

35




Income Taxes.  The Company has recorded income tax provisions for the three months ended June 30, 2007 based on its best estimate of the consolidated effective tax rate applicable for the entire year plus tax adjustments considered a period expense or benefit.  The effective tax rates for the three months ended June 30, 2007 were 37.2% and 36.9% for Holdings and Visant, respectively.  For the comparable three-month period ended July 1, 2006, the effective tax rates were 40.2% and 39.1% for Holdings and Visant, respectively.  The effective tax rates for the 2007 period were less than the rates for the comparable 2006 period due largely to the effect of an increase in the rate of the U.S. domestic manufacturing deduction and reduced state income tax provisions for 2007.

Income from Discontinued Operations.  During the second quarter of 2006, we consummated the sale of our Jostens Photography businesses, which previously comprised a reportable segment.  Results for the second quarter of 2007 and the 2006 comparable period for the Jostens Photography businesses included income of $0.4 million and a loss of $3.3 million, respectively.

During the second quarter of 2007, we consummated the sale of the Von Hoffmann businesses, which previously comprised the Educational Textbook segment and a portion of the Marketing and Publishing Services segment.  The sale closed on May 16, 2007 with the Company recognizing net proceeds of $401.8 million, subject to a working capital adjustment, and a gain of $98.4 million on the transaction during the second quarter of 2007.  Operations for the Von Hoffmann businesses resulted in income of $3.7 million and $5.6 million for the second quarter of 2007 and 2006, respectively.

Net Income.  As a result of the aforementioned items, net income increased $110.7 million, or 179.3%, to $172.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2007 compared to net income of $61.8 million for the same period in 2006.

Net Sales.  Consolidated net sales increased $59.8 million, or 8.6%, to $757.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2007 from $697.5 million for the corresponding period in 2006.

The net sales of the Scholastic segment increased $12.2 million, or 4.6%, to $276.4 million for the first half of 2007 from $264.2 million for the first half of 2006.  The increase was primarily attributable to the acquisition of Neff during the first quarter of 2007 and the impact of price increases largely driven by the cost of precious metal which increased significantly throughout 2006.  This was partially offset by lower volume in the first six months of 2007 compared to 2006.  A significant contributor to the lower jewelry volume was the loss of certain professional championship ring orders.

Yearbook net sales increased $9.7 million, or 3.7%, to $272.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2007 compared to $262.6 million in the comparable period of 2006.  The increase was due mainly to account growth and increased prices driven by new product and service offerings in 2007 compared to 2006.

The net sales of the continuing operations of the Marketing and Publishing Services segment increased $38.4 million, or 22.5%, to $209.0 million during the first half of 2007 from $170.7 million for the first half of 2006.  The increase was attributable primarily to sales generated by the businesses acquired in 2006 as well as increased volume in both our sampling and direct marketing businesses, as well as book components.

Gross Profit.  Gross profit increased $36.6 million, or 9.8%, to $411.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2007 from $374.9 million for the same period in 2006.  As a percentage of net sales, gross profit margin increased to 54.3% for the six months ended June 30, 2007 from 53.8% for the same period in 2006.  The increase was attributable to:

·                  cost savings realized from continued improvements in plant efficiency and cost reduction initiatives, primarily in our Scholastic and Yearbook segments; and

·                  the impact of price increases in the Scholastic and Yearbook segments.

These increases were partially offset by:

·                  lower jewelry volumes; and

·                  increased volume in our Marketing and Publishing Services segment, where margins are comparatively lower than in the Scholastic and Yearbook segments.

Selling and Administrative Expenses.  Selling and administrative expenses increased $19.6 million, or 9.2%, to $233.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2007 from $213.6 million for the corresponding period in 2006.  As a percentage of net sales, selling and administrative expenses increased 0.2% to 30.8% for the first six months of 2007 from 30.6% for the same period in 2006.  The increase in selling and administrative expenses as a percentage of net sales was the result of:

37




·                  higher commissions in the Scholastic segment associated with increased graduation products net sales, which have a higher commission structure than other Scholastic products;

·                  development costs across all segments related to growth initiatives; and

·                  higher information technology costs in the Scholastic and Yearbook segments.

These increases were partially offset by lower amortization expense from the 2003 Jostens merger purchase accounting adjustments.

Special Charges. During the six months ended June 30, 2007, the Company recorded a reversal of less than $0.1 million for severance and related benefit costs associated with headcount reductions in the Scholastic and Yearbook segments during the first quarter of 2006.  For the six months ended July 1, 2006, the Company recorded $2.6 million of special charges. These special charges included $0.1 million related to Jostens Scholastic, less than $0.1 million related to Jostens Yearbook, and $0.2 million related to the Marketing and Publishing Services segment for severance costs and related benefits.  Headcount reductions associated with these activities were eight for Jostens Scholastic, two for Jostens Yearbook and three for Marketing and Publishing Services. Additionally, the Company recognized an impairment loss of $2.3 million related to the sale of its Jostens headquarters buildings.

Operating Income.  Consolidated operating income increased $18.1 million, or 11.4%, to $177.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2007 from $159.6 million for the comparable period in 2006.  As a percentage of net sales, operating income increased to 23.5% for the first six months of 2007 from 22.9% for the same period in 2006.  This increase was mainly attributable to improved manufacturing efficiencies as well as general price increases, partially offset by the impact of increased volume in our Marketing and Publishing Services segment, which comparatively has lower margins than our Scholastic and Yearbook segments.

Net Interest Expense.  Net interest expense was comprised of the following:

Net interest expense increased $12.8 million, or 18.7%, to $81.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2007 as compared to $68.4 million for the comparable prior year period.  The increase was due to higher amortization expense of deferred financing costs as a result of the prepayment of $400.0 million of our Term Loan C during the second quarter of 2007, offset somewhat by lower average borrowings due to such prepayments.

Income Taxes. The Company has recorded income tax provisions for the six months ended June 30, 2007 based on its best estimate of the consolidated effective tax rate applicable for the entire year plus tax adjustments considered a period expense or benefit.  The effective tax rates for the six months ended June 30, 2007 were 37.5% and 37.1% for Holdings and

38




Visant, respectively.  For the comparable six-month period ended July 1, 2006, the effective tax rates were 39.5% and 38.4% for Holdings and Visant, respectively.  The effective tax rates for the 2007 period were less than the rates for the comparable 2006 period due largely to the effect of an increase in the rate of the U.S. domestic manufacturing deduction and reduced state income tax provisions for 2007.

As described in Note 13, Income Taxes, to the condensed consolidated financial statements, the Company adopted FIN 48 as of the beginning of the 2007 fiscal year.  Upon adoption of FIN 48, all interest and penalties in connection with income tax assessments or refunds are recorded as income tax expense or benefit, as applicable, and included as part of the Company’s unrecognized tax benefit liability.  For the six-month period ended June 30, 2007, the Company provided $0.3 million of tax and interest accruals for unrecognizedre tax benefits net of other income tax adjustments considered a period expense or benefit.

Income from Discontinued Operations.  During the second quarter of 2006, we consummated the sale of our Jostens Photography businesses, which previously comprised a reportable segment.  Results for the six months ended June 30, 2007 and the 2006 comparable period for the Jostens Photography businesses included income of $0.4 million and a loss of $5.4 million, respectively.

During the second quarter of 2007, we consummated the sale of the Company’s Von Hoffmann businesses, which previously comprised the Educational Textbook segment and a portion of the Marketing and Publishing Services segment.  The sale closed on May 16, 2007 with the Company recognizing net proceeds of $401.8 million, subject to a working capital adjustment, and a gain for financial reporting purposes of $98.4 million on the transaction during the six months ended June 30, 2007.  Operations for the Von Hoffmann businesses resulted in income of $11.1 million and $10.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2007 and the 2006 comparable period, respectively.

We also had income of $1.0 million, net of tax, for the six months ended June 30, 2007 from the Jostens Recognition business, which was discontinued in 2001.  The income in 2007 resulted from the reversal of an accrual for potential exposure for which the Company does not believe it is likely to have an ongoing liability and therefore, there are no amounts related to Jostens Recognition at June 30, 2007.

Net Income.  As a result of the aforementioned items, net income increased $110.6 million, or 182.5%, to $171.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2007 compared to net income of $60.6 million for the same period in 2006.

For the six months ended June 30, 2007, operating activities generated cash of $107.8 million compared with cash generated by operating activities of $101.0 million for the same prior year period.  The increase of $6.8 million primarily related to higher earnings in the six-month period ended June 30, 2007.  Included in cash flows from operating activities was cash provided by discontinued operations of $4.6 million and $2.0 million for the six-month periods ended June 30, 2007 and July 1, 2006, respectively.  Consequently, the cash provided by continuing operations was $103.3 million and $99.0 million for the first six months of 2007 and 2006, respectively.

39




Net cash provided by investing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2007 was $309.8 million, compared with $16.7 million provided by investing activities for the comparable 2006 period.  The $293.2 million increase related to the sale of the Von Hoffmann businesses, which generated proceeds of approximately $401.8 million, subject to a working capital adjustment, during the six months ended June 30, 2007, compared to proceeds generated from the sale of the Jostens Photography businesses of $64.1 million for the comparable six-month period in 2006.  Capital expenditures related to purchases of property, plant and equipment for the six months ended June 30, 2007 and the comparable 2006 period were $36.0 and $23.6 million, respectively.  During the six months ended June 30, 2007 and the comparable 2006 period, the Company acquired businesses, net of cash, totaling approximately $51.9 million and $13.6 million, respectively.  Included in the cash flows from investing activities was cash used in discontinued operations of $5.7 million and $11.5 million for the six-month periods ended June 30, 2007 and July 1, 2006, respectively.  Consequently, the cash provided by continuing operations was $315.5 million and $28.2 million for the six months of 2007 and 2006, respectively.

Net cash used in financing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2007 was $400.0 million due to the Company’s voluntary prepayment of its term loans under its senior secured credit facilities, including all originally scheduled principal payments due under its term loan C facility for 2007 through mid-2011.  During the six months ended July 1, 2006, financing activities consisted of proceeds from the issuance by Holdings of $350.0 million of senior notes with $9.3 million used for debt financing costs related to the notes and a distribution to Holdings’ stockholders of $340.7 million.  Therefore, there was no net cash provided by or used in financing activities in the first half of 2006.

During the six months ended June 30, 2007 and July 1, 2006, Visant transferred approximately $2.6 million and $4.8 million, respectively, of cash to Holdings to allow Holdings to make scheduled interest payments on the $350 million 8.75% Senior Notes due 2013.  This transfer is reflected in Visant’s condensed consolidated balance sheet as a return of capital and presented in the condensed consolidated statement of cash flows as a distribution to stockholder.  These amounts eliminate in consolidation and have no impact on Holdings’ consolidated financial statements.

During the second quarter of 2007, the Company voluntarily prepaid $400.0 million of term loans under its senior secured credit facilities, including all originally scheduled principal payments due under its term loan C facility for 2007 through mid-2011.  With these prepayments, the outstanding balance under the term loan C facility was reduced to $316.5 million.

As of June 30, 2007, we had cash and cash equivalents of $36.8 million.  Our principal sources of liquidity are cash flows from operating activities and available borrowings under Visant’s senior secured credit facilities, which included $234.6 million of additional availability under Visant’s revolving credit facility as of June 30, 2007.  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 market conditions warrant, we and our Sponsors, including KKR and DLJMBP III and their affiliates, may from time to time repurchase debt securities issued by Holdings or Visant in privately negotiated or open market transactions, by tender offer or otherwise.  No assurance can be given as to whether or when such repurchases or exchanges will occur and at what price.

As of June 30, 2007, we were in compliance with all covenants under our material debt obligations.

Our ability to make scheduled payments of principal, or to pay the interest on, or to refinance our indebtedness, or to fund planned capital expenditures will depend on our future performance.  Based upon the current level of operations, we believe that cash flows from operations, available cash and short-term investments, together with borrowings available under Visant’s senior secured credit facilities, are adequate to meet our liquidity needs for the next twelve months.  In addition, based on market and other considerations, we may decide to raise additional funds through debt or equity financings.  Furthermore, to the extent we make future acquisitions, we may require new sources of funding, including additional debt or equity financings or some combination thereof.

In July 2007, Moody’s Investors Service (“Moody’s”) affirmed the existing ratings for Holdings and changed the outlook to developing from positive, following our announcement that we are reviewing strategic and capital market alternatives.  Moody’s affirmed all existing ratings for Visant.  In response to the Company’s announcement, Standard & Poor’s Ratings Services (“S&P”) placed its ratings on Holdings, including the B+ corporate credit rating, on CreditWatch with negative implications in consideration that strategic alternatives may result in leveraging transactions.  S&P, in the same release, observed recent improvement in our financial profile as a result of our prepayment of indebtedness under our senior

40




secured facilities with proceeds from the sale of the Von Hoffmann businesses.  A security rating is not a recommendation to buy, sell or hold securities and any rating may be revised or withdrawn at any time by the assigning rating organization.  Each rating should be evaluated independently of any other rating. Reference is made to the Moody’s and S&P announcements dated July 5, 2007 and July 3, 2007, respectively, for a full explanation of the considerations by each of Moody’s and S&P.

ITEM 3.           QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

There have been no material changes in our exposure to market risk during the quarter ended June 30, 2007.  For additional information, refer to Item 7A of our 2006 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

ITEM 4.           CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

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

Our management, under the supervision of our Chief Executive Officer and Vice President, Finance, evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Exchange Act) as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based upon that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Vice President, Finance concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are effective as of the end of the period covered by this report.

During the quarter ended June 30, 2007, there was no change in our internal control over financial reporting that materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

ITEM 4T.        CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Not applicable.

PART II.  OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1.          LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

The following were developments during the three months ended June 30, 2007 of material pending legal proceedings to which we or any of our subsidiaries are a party.

In the pending proceeding as described in Note 12, Commitments and Contingencies, to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, in May 2007, U.S. Customs and Border Protection (“Customs”) issued a penalty notice assessing a loss of revenue in the amount of $2.9 million (plus interest) and a monetary penalty of $5.8 million as contemplated in communications received from Customs in December 2006 and previously disclosed by Visant.  In July 2007, following the end of the second quarter, Jostens filed a petition in response to the penalty notice challenging Customs’ findings and asserting that there has been no loss of revenue and that no penalty should be issued against Jostens or that, in the alternative, any penalty should be reduced to a nominal fixed amount reflective of the nature of the violation or mitigated on the basis that the imports at issue are nonetheless duty free. At this stage of the proceedings, the matter will be further evaluated by Customs.  Jostens intends to continue to vigorously defend its position and has recorded no accrual for any potential liability pending further communication with Customs.  Jostens has the opportunity to extend an offer in compromise to Customs in an effort to settle this matter in advance of a final administrative decision.

ITEM 1A.       RISK FACTORS

There have been no material changes in our risk factors during the quarter ended June 30, 2007.  For additional information, refer to Item 1A of our 2006 Annual Report on Form 10-K.
