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 and trade publishing segments. The Company sells 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 a number of factors, including general economic conditions, seasonality, cost of raw materials, school population trends, product quality, service and price.

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 stock compensation expense, interest expense and the related income tax effect of certain indebtedness of Holdings including $247.2 million of Holdings’ 10.25% senior discount notes due 2013 and $350.0 million of Holdings’ 8.75% senior notes due 2013.

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 January 3, 2009.

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 (“SAB No. 104”), 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 includes 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 are expensed as incurred. These costs 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 and $1.6 million for the quarters ended July 4, 2009 and June 28, 2008, respectively. Advertising expense totaled $2.8 million for the six months ended July 4, 2009 and $3.4 million for the six months ended June 28, 2008.

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. The total net warranty costs on rings were $1.2 million for each of the quarters ended July 4, 2009 and June 28, 2008. For the six months ended July 4, 2009 and June 28, 2008, the total net warranty costs were $2.6 million and $2.4 million, respectively. 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 as of July 4, 2009 and January 3, 2009.

Stock-based Compensation

The Company recognizes 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. The Company recognized total stock-based compensation expense of approximately $0.2 million for each of the three-month periods ended July 4, 2009 and June 28, 2008, which is included in selling and administrative expenses. Stock-based compensation expense totaled $0.4 million and $0.3 million for the six-month periods ended July 4, 2009 and June 28, 2008, respectively. Refer to Note 15, Stock-based Compensation, for further details.

Mezzanine Equity

Certain management stockholder agreements contain a purchase feature pursuant to which, in the event the holder’s employment terminates as a result of the death or permanent disability (as defined in the agreement) of the holder, the holder (or his/her estate, in the case of death) has the option to require Holdings to purchase the common shares or vested options from the holder (estate) and settle the 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 sheet as of July 4, 2009 and January 3, 2009, respectively.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In September 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“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. The FASB issued FASB Staff Position (“FSP”) No. FAS 157-1, FSP No. FAS 157-2 and FSP No. FAS 157-3. FSP No. FAS 157-1 amends SFAS No. 157

to exclude SFAS No. 13, Accounting for Leases, and its related interpretive accounting pronouncements that address leasing transactions, while FSP No. FAS 157-2 delayed the effective date of SFAS No. 157 for all non-financial assets and non-financial liabilities, except those that are recognized or disclosed at fair value in the financial statements on a recurring basis until periods beginning after November 15, 2008. FSP No. FAS 157-3 clarifies the application of SFAS No. 157 as it relates to the valuation of financial assets in a market that is not active for those financial assets. The Company adopted SFAS No. 157 as of the beginning of fiscal year 2008, with the exception of the application of SFAS No. 157 to non-recurring non-financial assets and non-financial liabilities. The Company adopted SFAS No. 157 for non-financial assets and non-financial liabilities as of the beginning of fiscal year 2009. The Company does not have financial assets or financial liabilities that are currently measured and reported on the balance sheet on a fair value basis. The Company’s adoption of SFAS No. 157 for non-financial assets and non-financial liabilities did not have a material impact on its financial statements.

In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141(R), Business Combinations (“SFAS No. 141(R)”). SFAS No. 141(R) requires the acquiring entity in a business combination to recognize all (and only) the assets acquired and liabilities assumed in the transaction and establishes the acquisition-date fair value as the measurement objective for all assets acquired and liabilities assumed in a business combination. Certain provisions of this standard impact the determination of acquisition-date fair value of consideration paid in a business combination (including contingent consideration); exclude transaction costs from acquisition accounting; and change accounting practices for acquired contingencies, acquisition-related restructuring costs, in-process research and development, indemnification assets and tax benefits. SFAS No. 141(R) is effective for business combinations and adjustments to an acquired entity’s deferred tax asset and liability balances for the first annual reporting period beginning after December 15, 2008. The Company adopted SFAS No. 141(R) as of the beginning of fiscal year 2009. The Company’s adoption of SFAS No. 141(R) did not have a material impact on its financial statements.

In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 160, Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements (“SFAS No. 160”), an amendment of Accounting Research Bulletin No. 51, which establishes new standards governing the accounting for and reporting on noncontrolling interests (“NCIs”) in partially owned consolidated subsidiaries and the loss of control of subsidiaries. Certain provisions of SFAS No. 160 indicate, among other things: that NCIs (previously referred to as minority interests) be treated as a separate component of equity, not as a liability; that increases and decreases in the parent’s ownership interest that leave control intact be treated as equity transactions, rather than a step acquisition or dilution gains or losses; and that losses of a partially owned consolidated subsidiary be allocated to the NCI even when such allocation might result in a deficit balance. SFAS No. 160 also requires changes to certain presentation and disclosure requirements. SFAS No. 160 is effective for the Company’s 2009 fiscal year. The Company adopted this standard as of the beginning of fiscal year 2009. The Company’s adoption of SFAS No. 160 did not have a material impact on its financial statements.

In March 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 161, Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities (“SFAS No. 161”), an amendment of SFAS No. 133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities (“SFAS No. 133”). This statement is intended to improve transparency in financial reporting by requiring enhanced disclosures of an entity’s derivative instruments and hedging activities and their effects on the entity’s financial position, financial performance and cash flows. SFAS No. 161 applies to all derivative instruments within the scope of SFAS No. 133 as well as related hedged items, bifurcated derivatives and nonderivative instruments that are designated and qualify as hedging instruments. Entities with instruments subject to SFAS No. 161 must provide more robust qualitative disclosures and expanded quantitative disclosures. SFAS No. 161 is effective prospectively for financial statements issued for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after November 15, 2008. The Company adopted this standard as of the beginning of fiscal year 2009. The Company’s adoption of SFAS No. 161 did not have a material impact on its financial statements.

In April 2008, the FASB issued FSP No. FAS 142-3, Determination of the Useful Life of Intangible Assets, which amends the list of factors an entity should consider in developing renewal or extension assumptions used in determining the useful life of recognized intangible assets under SFAS No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets. The new guidance applies to (1) intangible assets that are acquired individually or with a group of other assets and (2) intangible assets acquired in both business combinations and asset acquisitions. Under FSP No. FAS 142-3, entities estimating the useful life of a recognized intangible asset must consider their historical experience in renewing or extending similar arrangements or, in the absence of historical experience, must consider assumptions that market participants would use about renewal or extension. This FSP will require certain additional disclosures for the Company’s 2009 fiscal year and the application to useful life estimates prospectively for intangible assets acquired after December 15, 2008. The Company adopted FSP No. FAS 142-3 as of the beginning of fiscal year 2009. The Company’s adoption of FSP No. FAS 142-3 did not have a material impact on its financial statements.

In December 2008, the FASB issued FSP No. FAS 132(R)-1, Employers’ Disclosures about Postretirement Benefit Plan Assets. FSP No. FAS 132(R)-1 amends SFAS No. 132(R), Employers’ Disclosures about Pension and Other

 

9


Postretirement Benefits, and provides guidance on an employer’s disclosure about plan assets of a defined benefit pension or other postretirement plan. FSP No. FAS 132(R)-1 is effective for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2009. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of FSP No. FAS 132(R)-1 but does not expect there to be a material impact, if any, on its financial statements.

In April 2009, the FASB issued FSP No. FAS 115-2/ FAS 124-2, Recognition and Presentation of Other-Than-Temporary Impairments. FSP No. FAS 115-2/ FAS 124-2 changes the method for determining whether an other-than-temporary impairment exists for debt securities and the amount of the impairment to be recorded in earnings. FSP No. FAS 115-2/ FAS 124-2 is effective for interim and annual periods ending after June 15, 2009. The Company adopted FSP No. FAS 115-2/ FAS 124-2 for the quarter ended July 4, 2009. The Company’s adoption of FSP No. FAS 115-2/ FAS 124-2 did not have a material impact on its financial statements.

In April 2009, the FASB issued FSP No. FAS 107-1, APB 28-1, Interim Disclosures About Fair Value of Financial Instruments. FSP No. FAS 107-1, APB 28-1 requires fair value disclosures in both interim as well as annual financial statements in order to provide more timely information about the effects of current market conditions on financial instruments. FSP No. FAS 107-1, APB 28-1 is effective for interim and annual periods ending after June 15, 2009. The Company adopted FSP No. FAS 107-1, APB 28-1 for the quarter ended July 4, 2009. The Company’s adoption of FSP No. FAS 107-1, APB 28-1 did not have a material impact on its financial statements.

In April 2009, the FASB issued FSP No. FAS 157-4, Determining Fair Value When the Volume and Level of Activity for the Asset or Liability Have Significantly Decreased and Identifying Transactions That Are Not Orderly. FSP No. FAS 157-4 provides additional guidance on factors to consider in estimating fair value when there has been a significant decrease in market activity for a financial asset. FSP No. FAS 157-4 is effective for interim and annual periods ending after June 15, 2009. The Company adopted FSP No. FAS 157-4 for the quarter ended July 4, 2009. The Company’s adoption of FSP No. FAS 157-4 did not have a material impact on its financial statements.

In April 2009, the FASB issued FSP No. FAS 141(R)-1, Accounting for Assets Acquired and Liabilities Assumed in a Business Combination That Arise from Contingencies, to require that assets and liabilities assumed in a business combination that arise from contingencies be recognized at fair value if fair value can be reasonably determined. If the fair value of such assets or liabilities cannot be reasonably determined, then they would generally be recognized in accordance with SFAS No. 5, Accounting for Contingencies, and FASB Interpretation No. 14, Reasonable Estimation of the Amount of a Loss- an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 5. This FSP also amends the subsequent accounting for assets and liabilities arising from contingencies in a business combination and certain other disclosure requirements. This FSP is effective for assets and liabilities arising from contingencies in business combinations that are consummated on or after December 15, 2008. The Company adopted FSP No. FAS 141(R)-1 as of the beginning of fiscal year 2009. The Company’s adoption of FSP No. FAS 141(R)-1 did not have a material impact on its financial statements.

In May 2009, the FASB issued SFAS No. 165, Subsequent Events (“SFAS No. 165”). This standard requires the disclosure of the date through which subsequent events were evaluated for each interim and annual period but does not change the accounting for subsequent events. Subsequent events are events or transactions that occur after the balance sheet date but before financial statements are issued or are available to be issued. Under SFAS No. 165, consistent with prior practice, an entity must recognize the effect of subsequent events on our financial condition that existed at the balance sheet date. Subsequent events that provide evidence about conditions that did not exist at the date of the balance sheet but arose after that date will be disclosed in a footnote. The Company has adopted SFAS No. 165 for the quarter ended July 4, 2009 and, accordingly, has evaluated all subsequent events through August 18, 2009, the date of issuance of the Company’s financial statements, for potential recognition or disclosure in the Company’s consolidated financial statements. The Company’s adoption of SFAS No. 165 did not have a material impact on its financial statements.

In June 2009, the FASB issued SFAS No. 168, The FASB Accounting Standards Codification and the Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“SFAS No. 168”), which establishes the FASB Accounting Standards Codification (the “Codification”) as the single source of authoritative generally accepted accounting principles. On the effective date of SFAS No. 168, the Codification will supersede all then-existing non-SEC accounting and reporting standards. The issuance of SFAS No. 168 does not change generally accepted accounting principles; it will, however, change the applicable citations and naming conventions used when referencing generally accepted accounting principles. SFAS No. 168 is effective for interim and annual periods ending after September 15, 2009, and the Company does not expect there to be a material impact, if any, on its 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 III, L.P.

(“Jostens”), Von Hoffmann Holdings, Inc. and its subsidiaries (“Von Hoffmann”) and AKI, Inc. and its subsidiaries (“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 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, DLJMBP III and certain of its affiliates 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. As of July 4, 2009, an affiliate of KKR and DLJMBP III and certain of its affiliates (the “Sponsors”) held approximately 49.0% and 40.9%, respectively, of Holdings’ voting interest, while each held approximately 44.5% of the Holdings’ economic interest. As of July 4, 2009, the other co-investors held approximately 8.3% of the voting interest and 9.1% of the economic interest of Holdings, and members of management held approximately 1.8% of the voting interest and approximately 1.9% of the economic interest of Holdings.

5. Acquisitions

On April 1, 2008, the Company announced the completion of the acquisition of Phoenix Color Corp. (“Phoenix Color”), a book component manufacturer, including cash on hand of $1.3 million and restrictive covenants with certain key Phoenix Color stockholders, for approximately $221.5 million in cash. The acquisition was accomplished through a merger of a wholly owned subsidiary of Visant and Phoenix Color, with Phoenix Color as the surviving entity. All outstanding indebtedness of Phoenix Color was repaid by Phoenix Color in connection with the closing of the merger. The results of the Phoenix Color operations are reported as part of the Marketing and Publishing Services segment from the acquisition date, and as such, all of its goodwill is allocated to that segment. None of the goodwill or intangible assets will be amortizable for tax purposes.

The acquisition was accounted for as a purchase in accordance with the provisions of SFAS No. 141, Business Combinations. The cost of the acquisition was 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 allocation of the purchase price for the Phoenix Color acquisition was as follows:

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 the lesser of a certain specified quantity of precious metals and $32.5 million in dollar value in consigned inventory. As required by the terms of this 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 July 4, 2009 and January 3, 2009 was $16.8 million and $22.2 million, respectively. The agreement does not have a stated term, and it 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-month periods ended July 4, 2009 and June 28, 2008, respectively. The consignment fees expensed for the six months ended July 4, 2009 and June 28, 2008 were $0.3 and $0.4 million, respectively. The obligations under the consignment agreement are guaranteed by Visant.

 

8. Fair Value Measurements

In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157 that defines fair value as the price that would be received upon sale of an asset or paid upon transfer of a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date and in the principal or most advantageous market for that asset or liability. The fair value should be calculated based on assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability, not on assumptions specific to the entity. In addition, the fair value of liabilities should include consideration of non-performance risk including our own credit risk.

In addition to defining fair value, SFAS No. 157 expands the disclosure requirements around fair value and establishes a fair value hierarchy for valuation inputs. The hierarchy prioritizes the inputs into three levels based on the extent to which inputs used in measuring fair value are observable in the market. Each fair value measurement is reported in one of the three levels which are determined by the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety. These levels are:

 

   

Level 1 – inputs are based upon unadjusted quoted prices for identical instruments traded in active markets.

 

   

Level 2 – inputs are based upon quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active and model-based valuation techniques for which

 

14


 

all significant assumptions are observable in the market or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities.

 

   

Level 3 – inputs are generally unobservable and typically reflect management’s estimates of assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. The fair values are therefore determined using model-based techniques that include option pricing models, discounted cash flow models and similar techniques.

The Company does not have financial assets or financial liabilities that are currently measured and reported on the balance sheet on a fair value basis.

In addition to financial assets and liabilities that are recorded at fair value on a recurring basis, the Company is required to record non-financial assets and liabilities at fair value on a nonrecurring basis. During the six months ended July 4, 2009, assets that were recorded at fair value on a nonrecurring basis were as a result of impairment charges. In accordance with SFAS No. 144, Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets, the Company recorded impairment charges of approximately $4.4 million mainly in connection with the closure of the Winston-Salem, North Carolina facility, the Pennsauken, New Jersey facilities and the Attleboro, Massachusetts facility. The fair value for the long-lived assets held and used was based on the present value of discounted cash flows based on the highest and best use. The fair value for the long-lived assets held for sale was based on quoted purchase agreements with third parties. The following table provides information by level for non-financial assets and liabilities that were measured at fair value during 2009 as defined by SFAS No. 157, on a nonrecurring basis.

In addition to the methods and assumptions we use to record the fair value of financial and non-financial instruments as discussed above, we used the following methods and assumptions to estimate the fair value of our financial instruments as required by SFAS No. 107, Disclosures about Fair Values of Financial Instruments. As of July 4, 2009, the fair value of the Holdings discount notes, Holdings senior notes and Visant senior subordinated notes were based on quoted market prices and the fair value of our Term Loan C facility was estimated based on quoted market prices for comparable instruments. The fair value of the Holdings discount notes, with a principal amount of $247.2 million, approximated $246.3 million at July 4, 2009. The fair value of the Holdings senior notes, with a principal amount of $350 million, approximated $343.9 million at July 4, 2009. The fair value of the Visant senior subordinated notes, with a principal amount of $500 million, approximated $498.8 million at July 4, 2009. The fair value of the Term Loan C facility, with a principal amount of $316.5 million, approximated $311.8 million at July 4, 2009.

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 Visant, 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 $300.0 million, which additional term loans will have the same security and guarantees as the Term Loan C facility. Additionally, restrictions under the Visant senior subordinated note indenture would limit Visant’s ability to borrow the full amount of additional term loan borrowings under such a facility.

The senior secured credit facilities require Visant to meet a maximum total leverage ratio and a minimum interest coverage ratio and impose a maximum capital expenditures limitation. In addition, the senior secured credit facilities contain certain restrictive covenants which, among other things, limit Visant’s ability to create liens, incur additional indebtedness, pay dividends or make other equity distributions, prepay subordinated debt, make investments, merge or consolidate, change the

 

17


business, amend the terms of Visant’s subordinated debt and engage in certain other activities customarily restricted in such agreements. The senior secured credit facilities also contain 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.

On May 28, 2009, Visant entered into Amendment No. 2 (the “Second Amendment”) to the senior secured credit facilities.

The Second Amendment provides for the following:

 

   

An extension of the termination date of the revolving credit commitments until September 4, 2011, provided that if the consolidated gross senior secured leverage ratio for the four quarter period ending as of the last day of Visant’s fiscal quarter ending closest to June 30, 2011 is less than 0.75 to 1.00, then such maturity date shall be January 4, 2012; provided, however, that if all tranche C term loans outstanding under the Credit Agreement shall not have been fully repaid and/or refinanced on or prior to October 4, 2011, the maturity date of the revolving credit commitments shall be October 4, 2011 without regard to whether the consolidated gross senior secured leverage ratio condition referred to above has been met. The consolidated gross senior secured leverage ratio is defined as (1) the sum of (a) the aggregate principal amount of term loans and revolving credit commitments (whether used or unused) under the Credit Agreement, (b) with certain exceptions, the principal amount of all other secured indebtedness of Visant and its subsidiaries and (c) the outstanding capitalized lease obligations of Visant and its subsidiaries to (2) consolidated EBITDA.

 

   

The termination of all revolving credit commitments held by each lender that did not remain or become a revolving credit lender under the senior secured credit facilities as amended by the Second Amendment, resulting in a reduction of the revolving credit commitments from an aggregate of $250.0 million to an aggregate of $100.0 million (comprised of a commitment of $95.0 million under the U.S. revolving credit facility and a commitment of $5.0 million under the Canadian revolving credit facility).

 

   

An increase in the pricing on all revolving credit and swingline loans from and after the date of the Second Amendment, with such loans bearing interest, at Visant’s option (except in the case of swingline loans, which in all cases will bear interest at the alternate base rate plus 3.00% per annum), at either adjusted LIBOR (with a minimum adjusted LIBOR of 2.00% per annum) plus 4.00% per annum or the alternate base rate plus 3.00% (or, in the case of Canadian dollar denominated loans, the bankers’ acceptance discount rate plus 4.00% or the Canadian prime rate plus 3.00% per annum).

 

   

An increase in the commitment fee rate to 0.75% per annum for unfunded revolving credit commitments.

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 us; 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.

 

18


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.

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 July 4, 2009, the Company was in compliance with all covenants under its material debt obligations.

Also outstanding as of July 4, 2009 was approximately $14.0 million in the form of letters of credit, leaving $86.0 million available under the revolving credit facilities at such date.

 

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. As of July 4, 2009 and January 3, 2009, 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. As of July 4, 2009, the Company had purchase commitments totaling $4.5 million with delivery dates occurring through 2009. The forward purchase contracts are considered normal purchases and therefore are not subject to the requirements of SFAS No. 133.

Environmental

Our 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, and from time to time the Company may be involved in remedial and compliance efforts.

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 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 during the period of December 2006 through May 2007, 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

 

19


entries made in 2002 and 2003. In a separate penalty notice, Customs calculated a monetary penalty in the amount of approximately $5.8 million (two times the alleged loss of revenue). Jostens has filed various petitions with Customs disputing Customs’ claims and advancing arguments to support that no loss of revenue or penalty should be issued against us, 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 response to Jostens’ petitions, Customs has withdrawn its penalty notice but restated its loss of revenue demand in order to close out Jostens’ prior disclosure. In response to this demand, Jostens filed a supplement to its prior disclosure presenting arguments for Customs’ consideration supporting that the subject imports at the time of entry were entitled to duty-free status and has extended an offer in compromise for Customs’ consideration to resolve the matter. In order to obtain the benefits of the orderly continuation and conclusion of administrative proceedings, Jostens has agreed to waivers of the statute of limitations with respect to the entries made in 2002 and 2003 that otherwise would have expired, to June 20, 2010. Jostens intends to continue to vigorously defend its position and has recorded no accrual for any additional potential liability pending further communication with Customs. 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 duty free treatment 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.

 

13. Income Taxes

The Company has recorded an income tax provision for the six months ended July 4, 2009 based on its best estimate of the consolidated effective tax rate applicable for the entire year. The estimated full-year consolidated effective tax rates for 2009 are 39.3% and 38.6% for Holdings and Visant, respectively, before consideration of the effects of $0.2 million of net tax and interest expense accruals for unrecognized tax benefits and $0.6 million of other net income tax adjustments considered a current period tax benefit. The other net income tax adjustments, considered a current period tax benefit, consisted of $0.2 million of tax benefit for Visant and $0.4 million of tax benefit for Holdings on a separate company basis resulting in a consolidated income tax benefit of $0.6 million. The current period tax adjustments included the favorable effect of filing an amended return for Phoenix Color related to a pre-acquisition period as well as an adjustment to reflect tax rates at which the Company expects deferred tax assets and liabilities to be realized or settled in the future as a result of changes in certain state income tax filing regulations. The combined effect of the annual estimated consolidated tax rates and the net current period tax adjustments resulted in effective tax rates of 39.0% and 38.6% for Holdings and Visant, respectively, for the six-month period ended July 4, 2009.

For the comparable six-month period ended June 28, 2008, the effective rates of income tax expense for Holdings and Visant were 39.3% and 38.5%, respectively.

In May 2009, President Obama’s administration proposed significant changes to U.S. tax laws for U.S corporations doing business outside the United States, including a proposal to defer tax deductions allocable to non-U.S. earnings until those earnings are repatriated. It is unclear whether the proposed tax changes will be enacted or, if enacted, what the ultimate scope of the changes will be. If enacted as currently proposed, the Company does not believe that there will be a material adverse tax effect because the Company’s repatriation practice is to distribute substantially all of its non-U.S. earnings on an annual basis.

As described in Note 5, Acquisitions, the Company, through a merger, acquired the common stock of Phoenix Color on April 1, 2008. In connection with the acquisition and the related reduction of purchase price recorded in the quarter ended July 4, 2009, the Company recorded net deferred tax liabilities of $21.7 million including $11.6 million of deferred tax assets for the value of federal and state net operating loss carryforwards. During the quarter ended July 4, 2009, the Company was advised that an amended tax return was required for a pre-acquisition period for Phoenix Color. As a result of filing the amended tax return, the Company recorded a $0.6 million tax benefit during the quarter ended July 4, 2009 which increased the acquired net operating loss by $1.5 million. After adjusting for the effects of the amended pre-acquisition tax return, the adjusted acquired federal net operating loss was approximately $32.3 million. As of January 3, 2009, the adjusted remaining net operating loss carryforward was approximately $30.2 million which expires in years 2019 through 2027.

 

20


Effective at the beginning of 2007, the Company 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.

During the six months ended July 4, 2009, the Company provided net tax and interest accruals for unrecognized tax benefits of $0.2 million consisting of $4.4 million of current income tax expense and $4.2 million of deferred income tax benefit. The Company’s unrecognized tax benefit liability is included in other noncurrent liabilities and at July 4, 2009, totaled $20.3 million, including interest and penalty accruals of $2.7 million. At January 3, 2009, the Company’s unrecognized tax benefit liability totaled $16.0 million, including interest and penalty accruals of $2.3 million.

The Company’s income tax filings for 2004 to 2007 are subject to examination in the U.S. federal tax jurisdiction. During the six months ended July 4, 2009, the Company agreed to certain audit adjustments in connection with the Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) examination of the Company’s tax filings for 2005 and 2006. The settlement resulted in only minor adjustments. The IRS also proposed certain transfer price adjustments for which the Company disagreed in order to preserve its right to seek relief from double taxation with the applicable U.S. and French tax authorities. The Company is also subject to examination in state and certain foreign tax jurisdictions for the 2003 to 2007 periods, none of which was individually material. During the six months ended July 4, 2009, the Company filed a notice of objection with the Canadian Revenue Agency (“CRA”) in connection with the CRA’s reassessment of tax years 1996 and 1997. The Company has filed requests with the U.S. and Canadian tax authorities seeking relief from double taxation in connection with CRA’s proposed transfer price adjustments. 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. Due to the potential for resolution of the Company’s current federal examination and the expiration of the related statute of limitations, it is reasonably possible that the Company’s gross unrecognized tax benefit liability could change within the next twelve months by a range of zero to $7.9 million.

As of January 3, 2009, the Company did not expect to have an obligation to contribute to its qualified pension plans in 2009 due to the funded status of the plans. This expectation had not changed as of July 4, 2009, but the Company continues to monitor its obligation in light of market conditions. For the six months ended July 4, 2009, the Company did not make any contributions to its qualified pension plans and contributed $1.1 million and $0.1 million to its non-qualified pension plans and postretirement welfare plans, respectively. The contributions to the non-qualified pension were consistent with the amounts anticipated as of January 3, 2009. The contributions to the postretirement welfare plans were slightly less than the amounts disclosed as of January 3, 2009.

 

15. Stock-based Compensation

The 2003 Stock Incentive Plan (the “2003 Plan”) was approved by the Board of Directors and was 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. As of July 4, 2009, there were 288,010 shares available for grant under the 2003 Plan. Pursuant to the 2003 Plan, the maximum grant to any one person may 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 the 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 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 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 issuance of a total of 510,230 shares of Holdings Class A Common Stock. As of July 4, 2009, there were 93,960 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

 

22


Holdings being held by an unaffiliated person; (iii) a merger, consolidation, recapitalization or reorganization of Holdings with or into an unaffiliated person, in each case, 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 stockholder’s agreement and a sale participation agreement. As of July 4, 2009, there were 256,982 options vested under the 2004 Plan and 32,698 unvested and subject to vesting.

The Company recognizes 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. The Company recognized total stock-based compensation expense of approximately $0.2 million for both of the three-month periods ended July 4, 2009 and June 28, 2008, which is included in selling and administrative expenses. Stock-based compensation expense totaled $0.4 million and $0.3 million for the six-month periods ended July 4, 2009 and June 28, 2008, respectively.

In each of the six-month periods ended July 4, 2009 and June 28, 2008, the Company did not grant options under the 2004 Plan.

17. Related Party Transactions

Management Services Agreement

In connection with the Transactions, the Company entered into a management services agreement with the Sponsors pursuant to which the Sponsors provide certain structuring, consulting and management advisory services. Under the management services agreement, during the term the Sponsors receive an annual advisory fee of $3.0 million, that is payable quarterly and which increases by 3% per year. The Company incurred $0.9 million of advisory fees from the Sponsors for each of the three-month periods ended July 4, 2009 and June 28, 2008. For each of the six months ended July 4, 2009 and June 28, 2008, the Company incurred $1.7 million of advisory fees from the Sponsors. The management services agreement also provides that the Company will indemnify the Sponsors and their affiliates, directors, officers and representatives for losses relating to the services contemplated by the management services agreement and the engagement of the Sponsors pursuant to, and the performance by the Sponsors of the services contemplated by, the management services agreement.

Other

The Company from time to time transacts business with affiliates of its Sponsors. The Company has retained Capstone Consulting to provide certain of its businesses with consulting services primarily to identify and advise on potential opportunities to improve operating efficiencies and other strategic efforts within the businesses. There were no services rendered or payments made for the three and six-month periods ended July 4, 2009. The Company paid $0.1 million for the three months ended June 28, 2008 and $0.3 million for the six months ended June 28, 2008 for services provided by them. Capstone routinely works with KKR portfolio companies to identify and implement operational improvements. In March 2005, an affiliate of Capstone Consulting invested $1.3 million in Holdings’ Class A Common Stock and was granted 13,527 options to purchase Holdings’ Class A Common Stock, with an exercise price of $96.10401 per share under the 2004 Plan (the exercise price was reduced in connection with the dividend paid by Holdings to its stockholders on April 4, 2006, to $39.07 per share). As of the end of 2007, these options were fully vested and exercisable.

Further, an affiliate of Credit Suisse Securities (USA) LLC is a lender and agent in connection with Visant’s senior secured credit facilities, for which it receives customary fees and expenses. Credit Suisse is an affiliate of DLJMBP III, one of our Sponsors.

The Company is party to an agreement with CoreTrust Purchasing Group (“CoreTrust”), a group purchasing organization, pursuant to which the Company may purchase products and services from certain vendors through CoreTrust on the terms established between CoreTrust and each vendor. An affiliate of KKR is party to an agreement with CoreTrust which permits certain KKR affiliates, including us, access to CoreTrust’s group purchasing program. CoreTrust receives payment of fees for administrative and other services provided by CoreTrust from certain vendors based on products and services purchased by us and other parties, and CoreTrust shares a portion of such fees with the KKR affiliate.

 

18. Condensed Consolidating Guarantor Information

As discussed in Note 10, Debt, Visant’s obligations under the senior secured credit facilities and the 7.625% senior subordinated notes are guaranteed by certain of its wholly-owned subsidiaries (the “Guarantors”) on a full, unconditional and joint and several basis. The following tables present condensed consolidating financial information for Visant, as issuer, and its guarantor and non-guarantor subsidiaries.

The following presentation has been revised to reflect the following changes from the presentation for prior periods for: (i) The impact of intercompany interest expense in Visant’s “Equity (earnings) loss in subsidiary, net of tax” line. We previously presented equity (earnings) loss in subsidiaries, net of tax for Visant (excluding its subsidiaries) without adjusting the amount in the “Visant” column for intercompany interest expense. In such previous presentation, the intercompany interest expense was adjusted in the “Eliminations” column. (ii) A quarterly allocation of certain costs to the Guarantors in the “Cost of products sold” line. The Company previously presented these certain costs in the “Cost of products sold” line for Visant for all quarterly periods with an adjustment for allocation to the Guarantors of such costs during the fourth quarter and full year periods.

The accompanying condensed consolidating statements of operations for the three and six months ended June 28, 2008 and the condensed consolidating statement of cash flows for the six months ended June 28, 2008 reflects this revised

presentation. The “Non-Guarantors” columns have not been impacted by any of the foregoing. There was no impact on the condensed consolidated financial statements for the periods presented.

GENERAL

We are a leading marketing and publishing services enterprise servicing the school affinity, direct marketing, fragrance and cosmetics sampling, and educational and trade publishing segments. We were formed through the October 2004 consolidation (the “Transactions”) of Jostens, Inc. (“Jostens”), Von Hoffmann Holdings Inc. and its subsidiaries (“Von Hoffmann”) and AKI, Inc. and its subsidiaries (“Arcade”). 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 a number of factors, including general economic conditions, seasonality, cost of raw materials, school population trends, product quality, service and price. Holdings (formerly known as Jostens Holding Corp.) and Visant (formerly known as Jostens IH Corp.) were each originally incorporated in Delaware in 2003.

In May 2007, we completed the sale of our Von Hoffmann Holdings Inc., Von Hoffmann Corporation and Anthology, Inc. businesses (the “Von Hoffmann businesses”), which previously comprised the Educational Textbook segment and a portion of the Marketing and Publishing Services segment.

During 2007, we expanded our business with the acquisitions of Neff Holding Company and its wholly owned subsidiary, Neff Motivation, Inc. (“Neff”), Visual Systems, Inc. (“VSI”) and Publishing Enterprises, Incorporated. Neff, a single source provider of custom awards programs and apparel, including chenille letters and letter jackets, was acquired on March 16, 2007, and its results are included in the Scholastic segment as of such date. VSI, a supplier of overhead transparencies and book components, was acquired on June 14, 2007, and its results are included in the Marketing and Publishing Services segment as of such date. On October 1, 2007, we acquired substantially all of the assets and certain liabilities of Publishing Enterprises, Incorporated, a producer of school memory books and student planners, and its results are included in the Memory Book segment as of such date.

On April 1, 2008, the Company announced the completion of the acquisition of Phoenix Color, a leading book component manufacturer. The results of Phoenix Color are reported as part of the Marketing and Publishing Services segment from its acquisition date.

Our three reportable segments as of July 4, 2009 consisted of:

 

   

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

 

   

Memory Book — provides services in conjunction with the publication, marketing, sale and production of school yearbooks, memory books and related products that help people tell their stories and chronicle important events; and

 

   

Marketing and Publishing Services — provides services in conjunction with the development, marketing, sale and production of multi-sensory and interactive advertising sampling systems, primarily for the fragrance, cosmetics and personal care segments, and provides innovative products and related services to the direct marketing sector. The group also produces book components primarily for the educational and trade publishing segments.

We experience seasonal fluctuations in our net sales and cash flow from operations, tied primarily to the North American school year. Jostens generates a significant portion of its annual net sales in the second quarter. Deliveries of caps, gowns and diplomas for spring graduation ceremonies and spring deliveries of school yearbooks are the key drivers of our seasonality in net sales. Our cash flow from continuing operations is concentrated in the fourth quarter, primarily driven by the receipt of customer deposits in our Scholastic and Memory Book segments. The net sales of educational book components are impacted seasonally by state and local schoolbook purchasing schedules, which typically commence in the spring and peak in the summer months preceding the start of the school year. The net sales of sampling and other direct mail and commercial printed products have also historically reflected seasonal variations, and we expect these businesses to continue to generate a majority of their annual net sales during our third and fourth quarters for the foreseeable future. These seasonal variations in net sales are based on the timing of customers’ advertising campaigns, which have traditionally been concentrated prior to the Christmas and spring holiday seasons. The seasonality of each of our businesses requires us to

 

32


allocate our resources to manage our capital and manufacturing capacity, which often operates at full or near full capacity during peak seasonal demands.

We continue to experience limited visibility with respect to the flow and placement of orders in our Marketing and Publishing Services segment, which we believe is the result of tighter economic and market conditions affecting the timing of decisions and the extent of spending by our customers. We believe these conditions, particularly the weakness in the advertising environment and decline in activity in the elementary and high school publishing business, will continue to affect negatively the level of spending by our customers in our Marketing and Publishing Services segment. Furthermore, the excess capacity that exists in the industry, particularly as it pertains to our direct marketing operations, as well as the variety of other advertising media that we compete with, have created increasing pricing pressure. We seek to distinguish ourselves based on our capabilities, quality and organizational strength.

While historically the purchase of class rings has been relatively resistant to economic conditions, we have seen a shift in jewelry metal mix from gold to lesser priced metals since 2008 which we believe is attributable in part to economic factors and the impact of significantly higher precious metal costs on our jewelry prices.

We have continued to implement efforts to contain costs and drive efficiency, including through the restructuring and integration of some of our operations and rationalization of sales, administrative and support functions. We expect to continue to initiate additional efforts focused on cost reduction and containment to address the continuing challenging environment.

For additional financial and other information about our operating segments, see Note 16, Business Segments, to our consolidated financial statements included elsewhere herein.

Company Background

On October 4, 2004, an affiliate of Kohlberg Kravis Roberts & Co. L.P. (“KKR”) and affiliates of DLJ Merchant Banking Partners III, L.P. (“DLJMBP III”) completed the Transactions, which created a marketing and publishing services enterprise through the consolidation of Jostens, Von Hoffmann 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 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, 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. Approximately $175.6 million of the proceeds were distributed to certain stockholders, and certain treasury stock held by Von Hoffmann was redeemed. As of August 10, 2009, affiliates of KKR and DLJMBP III (the “Sponsors”) held approximately 49.0% and 40.9%, respectively, of Holdings’ voting interest, while each held approximately 44.5% of Holdings’ economic interest. As of August 10, 2009, the other co-investors held approximately 8.3% of the voting interest and 9.1% of the economic interest of Holdings, and members of management held approximately 1.8% of the voting interest and approximately 1.9% of the economic interest of Holdings.

The Transactions were accounted for as a combination of interests under common control.

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 relate 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 January 3, 2009.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

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. The FASB issued FASB Staff Position (“FSP”) No. FAS 157-1, FSP No. FAS 157-2 and FSP No. FAS 157-3. FSP No. FAS 157-1 amends SFAS No. 157 to exclude SFAS No. 13, Accounting for Leases, and its related interpretive accounting pronouncements that address leasing transactions, while FSP No. FAS 157-2 delayed the effective date of SFAS No. 157 for all non-financial assets and non-financial liabilities, except those that are recognized or disclosed at fair value in the financial statements on a recurring basis until periods beginning after November 15, 2008. FSP No. FAS 157-3 clarifies the application of SFAS No. 157 as it relates to the valuation of financial assets in a market that is not active for those financial assets. The Company adopted SFAS No. 157 as of the beginning of fiscal year 2008, with the exception of the application of SFAS No. 157 to non-recurring non-financial assets and non-financial liabilities. The Company adopted SFAS No. 157 for non-financial assets and non-financial liabilities as of the beginning of fiscal year 2009. The Company does not have financial assets or financial liabilities that are currently measured and reported on the balance sheet on a fair value basis. The Company’s adoption of SFAS No. 157 for non-financial assets and non-financial liabilities did not have a material impact on its financial statements.

In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141(R), Business Combinations (“SFAS No. 141(R)”). SFAS No. 141(R) requires the acquiring entity in a business combination to recognize all (and only) the assets acquired and liabilities assumed in the transaction and establishes the acquisition-date fair value as the measurement objective for all assets acquired and liabilities assumed in a business combination. Certain provisions of this standard impact the determination of acquisition-date fair value of consideration paid in a business combination (including contingent consideration); exclude transaction costs from acquisition accounting; and change accounting practices for acquired contingencies, acquisition-related restructuring costs, in-process research and development, indemnification assets and tax benefits. SFAS No. 141(R) is effective for business combinations and adjustments to an acquired entity’s deferred tax asset and liability balances for the first annual reporting period beginning after December 15, 2008. The Company adopted SFAS No. 141(R) as of the beginning of fiscal year 2009. The Company’s adoption of SFAS No. 141(R) did not have a material impact on its financial statements.

In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 160, Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements (“SFAS No. 160”), an amendment of Accounting Research Bulletin No. 51, which establishes new standards governing the accounting for and reporting on noncontrolling interests (“NCIs”) in partially owned consolidated subsidiaries and the loss of control of subsidiaries. Certain provisions of SFAS No. 160 indicate, among other things: that NCIs (previously referred to as minority interests) be treated as a separate component of equity, not as a liability; that increases and decreases in the parent’s ownership interest that leave control intact be treated as equity transactions, rather than a step acquisition or dilution gains or losses; and that losses of a partially owned consolidated subsidiary be allocated to the NCI even when such allocation might result in a deficit balance. SFAS No. 160 also requires changes to certain presentation and disclosure requirements. SFAS No. 160 is effective for the Company’s 2009 fiscal year. The Company adopted this standard as of the beginning of fiscal year 2009. The Company’s adoption of SFAS No. 160 did not have a material impact on its financial statements.

In March 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 161, Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities (“SFAS No. 161”), an amendment of SFAS No. 133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities (“SFAS No. 133”). This statement is intended to improve transparency in financial reporting by requiring enhanced disclosures of an entity’s derivative instruments and hedging activities and their effects on the entity’s financial position, financial performance and cash flows. SFAS No. 161 applies to all derivative instruments within the scope of SFAS No. 133 as well as related hedged items, bifurcated derivatives and nonderivative instruments that are designated and qualify as hedging instruments. Entities with instruments subject to SFAS No. 161 must provide more robust qualitative disclosures and expanded quantitative disclosures. SFAS No. 161 is effective prospectively for financial statements issued for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after November 15, 2008. The Company adopted this standard as of the beginning of fiscal year 2009. The Company’s adoption of SFAS No. 161 did not have a material impact on its financial statements.

In April 2008, the FASB issued FSP No. FAS 142-3, Determination of the Useful Life of Intangible Assets, which amends the list of factors an entity should consider in developing renewal or extension assumptions used in determining the useful life of recognized intangible assets under SFAS No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets. The new guidance applies to (1) intangible assets that are acquired individually or with a group of other assets and (2) intangible assets acquired in both business combinations and asset acquisitions. Under FSP No. FAS 142-3, entities estimating the useful life of a recognized intangible asset must consider their historical experience in renewing or extending similar arrangements or, in the

 

34


absence of historical experience, must consider assumptions that market participants would use about renewal or extension. This FSP will require certain additional disclosures for the Company’s 2009 fiscal year and the application to useful life estimates prospectively for intangible assets acquired after December 15, 2008. The Company adopted FSP No. FAS 142-3 as of the beginning of fiscal year 2009. The Company’s adoption of FSP No. FAS 142-3 did not have a material impact on its financial statements.

In December 2008, the FASB issued FSP No. FAS 132(R)-1, Employers’ Disclosures about Postretirement Benefit Plan Assets. FSP No. FAS 132(R)-1 amends SFAS No. 132(R), Employers’ Disclosures about Pension and Other Postretirement Benefits, and provides guidance on an employer’s disclosure about plan assets of a defined benefit pension or other postretirement plan. FSP FAS No. 132(R)-1 is effective for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2009. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of FSP No. FAS 132(R)-1 but does not expect there to be a material impact, if any, on its financial statements.

In April 2009, the FASB issued FSP No. FAS 115-2/ FAS 124-2, Recognition and Presentation of Other-Than-Temporary Impairments). FSP No. FAS 115-2/ FAS 124-2 changes the method for determining whether an other-than-temporary impairment exists for debt securities and the amount of the impairment to be recorded in earnings. FSP No. FAS 115-2/ FAS 124-2 is effective for interim and annual periods ending after June 15, 2009. The Company adopted FSP No. FAS 115-2/ FAS 124-2 as of June 15, 2009. The Company’s adoption of FSP No. FAS 115-2/ FAS 124-2 did not have a material impact on its financial statements.

In April 2009, the FASB issued FSP No. FAS 107-1, APB 28-1, Interim Disclosures About Fair Value of Financial Instruments. FSP No. FAS 107-1, APB 28-1 requires fair value disclosures in both interim as well as annual financial statements in order to provide more timely information about the effects of current market conditions on financial instruments. FSP No. FAS 107-1, APB 28-1 is effective for interim and annual periods ending after June 15, 2009. The Company adopted FSP No. FAS 107-1, APB 28-1 as of June 15, 2009. The Company’s adoption of FSP No. FAS 107-1, APB 28-1 did not have a material impact on its financial statements.

In April 2009, the FASB issued FSP No. FAS 157-4, Determining Fair Value When the Volume and Level of Activity for the Asset or Liability Have Significantly Decreased and Identifying Transactions That Are Not Orderly. FSP No. FAS 157-4 provides additional guidance on factors to consider in estimating fair value when there has been a significant decrease in market activity for a financial asset. FSP No. FAS 157-4 is effective for interim and annual periods ending after June 15, 2009. The Company adopted FSP No. FAS 157-4 as of June 15, 2009. The Company’s adoption of FSP No. FAS 157-4 did not have a material impact on its financial statements.

In April 2009, the FASB issued FSP No. FAS 141(R)-1, Accounting for Assets Acquired and Liabilities Assumed in a Business Combination That Arise from Contingencies, to require that assets and liabilities assumed in a business combination that arise from contingencies be recognized at fair value if fair value can be reasonably determined. If the fair value of such assets or liabilities cannot be reasonably determined, then they would generally be recognized in accordance with SFAS No. 5, Accounting for Contingencies, and FASB Interpretation No. 14, Reasonable Estimation of the Amount of a Loss- an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 5. This FSP also amends the subsequent accounting for assets and liabilities arising from contingencies in a business combination and certain other disclosure requirements. This FSP is effective for assets and liabilities arising from contingencies in business combinations that are consummated on or after December 15, 2008. The Company adopted FSP No. FAS 141(R)-1 as of the beginning of fiscal year 2009. The Company’s adoption of FSP No. FAS 141(R)-1 did not have a material impact on its financial statements.

In May 2009, the FASB issued SFAS No. 165, Subsequent Events (“SFAS No. 165”). This standard requires the disclosure of the date through which subsequent events were evaluated for each interim and annual period but does not change the accounting for subsequent events. Subsequent events are events or transactions that occur after the balance sheet date but before financial statements are issued or are available to be issued. Under SFAS No. 165, consistent with prior practice, an entity must recognize the effects of subsequent events on our financial condition that existed at the balance sheet date. Subsequent events that provide evidence about conditions that did not exist at the date of the balance sheet but arose after that date will be disclosed in a footnote. The Company has adopted SFAS No. 165 for the quarter ended July 4, 2009 and, accordingly, has evaluated all subsequent events through August 18, 2009, the date of issuance of the Company’s financial statements, for potential recognition or disclosure in the Company’s consolidated financial statements. The Company’s adoption of SFAS No. 165 did not have a material impact on its financial statements.

In June 2009, the FASB issued SFAS No. 168, The FASB Accounting Standards Codification and the Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“SFAS No. 168”), which establishes the FASB Accounting Standards Codification (the “Codification”) as the single source of authoritative generally accepted accounting principles. On the

 

35


effective date of SFAS No. 168, the Codification will supersede all then-existing non-SEC accounting and reporting standards. The issuance of SFAS No. 168 does not change generally accepted accounting principles; it will, however, change the applicable citations and naming conventions used when referencing generally accepted accounting principles. SFAS No. 168 is effective for interim and annual periods ending after September 15, 2009, and the Company does not expect there to be a material impact, if any, on its financial statements.

Net Sales. Consolidated net sales decreased $68.8 million, or approximately 12.1%, to $498.8 million for the three months ended July 4, 2009 as compared to $567.6 million for the prior year second fiscal quarter.

Net sales of the Scholastic segment decreased $16.0 million, or 11.2%, to $127.6 million for the second fiscal quarter of 2009 from $143.6 million for the second fiscal quarter of 2008. The decrease was attributable to lower volume for jewelry and graduation products, due primarily to the shift in timing of customer orders into the first fiscal quarter of 2009 from the second fiscal quarter of 2009.

Net sales of the Memory Book segment decreased $0.2 million, or less than 1%, to $283.2 million for the second fiscal quarter of 2009 compared to $283.4 million for the second fiscal quarter of 2008. The decrease was primarily due to lower volume from our commercial print customers.

Net sales of the Marketing and Publishing Services segment decreased $53.0 million, or 37.6%, to $88.0 million for the second fiscal quarter of 2009 from $141.0 million for the second fiscal quarter of 2008. This decrease was primarily attributable to lower volumes in our educational book component, sampling and direct marketing operations.

Gross Profit. Consolidated gross profit decreased $24.1 million, or 7.6%, to $292.3 million for the three months ended July 4, 2009 from $316.5 million for the three-month period ended June 28, 2008. As a percentage of net sales, gross profit margin increased to 58.6% for the three months ended July 4, 2009 from 55.7% for the comparative prior year period in 2008. This increase in gross profit margin was driven primarily by a higher proportion of total sales in the Memory Book and Scholastic segments, which carry a higher relative gross margin, as well as increased prices for our memory book, jewelry and graduation products and the impact of cost reduction initiatives.

Selling and Administrative Expenses. Selling and administrative expenses decreased $12.4 million, or 8.7%, to $130.8 million for the three months ended July 4, 2009 from $143.2 million for the corresponding period in 2008. This reduction was mainly due to lower sales volume and the corresponding impact of lower commissions in the Scholastic segment in the quarter due to the shift in timing of customer orders into the first fiscal quarter of 2009 from the second quarter of 2009. As a percentage of net sales, selling and administrative expenses increased to 26.2% for the second fiscal quarter of 2009 from 25.2% for the comparative period in 2008. The increase as a percentage of net sales was due to a higher proportion of total sales in our Memory Book and Scholastic segments, which typically carry higher selling costs, as well as lower overall sales in the second quarter of 2009 compared to the second quarter of 2008.

Special Charges. During the three months ended July 4, 2009, the Company recorded $6.5 million of restructuring costs and $4.4 million of other special charges. The Memory Book segment incurred $3.8 million of restructuring costs for severance and related benefits primarily associated with the announced closure of the Winston-Salem, North Carolina facility and certain other reductions in force. The Marketing and Publishing Services segment incurred $1.8 million of restructuring costs for severance and related benefits associated with the closure of the Baltimore, Maryland facility, $0.2 million of other shutdown related costs and $0.6 million of other severance and related benefits. The Scholastic segment incurred $0.1 million of severance and related benefits. Other special charges for the three months ended July 4, 2009 included $0.5 million of non-cash asset impairment charges in our Scholastic segment related to the closure of Jostens’ Attleboro, Massachusetts facility and $2.5 million of non-cash facility related asset impairment charges related to facility consolidation activity in our Memory Book segment. Also included in other special charges for the Marketing and Publishing Services segment was $1.4 million of non-cash asset impairment charges related to facility consolidation activity.

Special charges for the second quarter ended June 28, 2008 included $1.2 million of costs in the Marketing and Publishing Services segment related to the closure of the Pennsauken, New Jersey facilities and $0.3 million related to other special charges for Marketing and Publishing Services segment. Our Scholastic and Memory Book segments recorded $0.5 million and $0.4 million, respectively, of severance and related benefits pertaining to headcount reductions.

Operating Income. As a result of the foregoing, consolidated operating income decreased $20.0 million to $150.8 million for the three months ended July 4, 2009 compared to $170.8 million for the comparable period in 2008. As a percentage of net sales, operating income increased slightly to 30.2% for the second fiscal quarter of 2009 from 30.1% for the same period in 2008.

Net interest expense decreased $3.1 million, or 9.7%, to $28.9 million for the three months ended July 4, 2009 compared to $32.0 million for the comparative prior year period, primarily due to lower interest rates on the Term Loan C facility and lower average borrowings under our revolving credit facilities.

Income Taxes. The Company has recorded an income tax provision for the three months ended July 4, 2009 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 July 4, 2009 were 38.8% and 38.2% for Holdings and Visant, respectively. For the comparable three-month period ended June 28, 2008, the effective tax rates were 39.0% and 38.4% for Holdings and Visant, respectively. Income tax rates for the three-month period ended July 4, 2009 were favorably impacted by $0.6 million of net tax adjustments considered a current period tax benefit.

Net Income. As a result of the aforementioned items, net income decreased $10.0 million to $74.6 million for the three months ended July 4, 2009 compared to net income of $84.6 million for the three months ended June 28, 2008.

Net Sales. Consolidated net sales decreased $50.3 million, or approximately 6.2%, to $764.4 million for the six months ended July 4, 2009 as compared to $814.7 million for the prior year comparable period. Included in consolidated net sales for the six-month period, as compared to the prior year six-month period, were incremental sales from the Phoenix Color acquisition which accounted for approximately $26.3 million. Excluding the impact of this acquisition, consolidated net sales decreased $76.6 million for the six months ended July 4, 2009 compared to the prior year comparable period, a decline of 9.4%.

Net sales of our Scholastic segment for the six months ended July 4, 2009 decreased by $0.8 million to $281.8 million, a decline of less than 1%, compared to $282.6 million for the six months ended June 28, 2008. The decrease was primarily attributable to lower overall volumes and a shift in metal mix to lower priced metals in our jewelry products. These decreases were offset somewhat by higher prices in our jewelry and graduation products.

Net sales for the Memory Book segment were $291.8 million for the six-month period ended July 4, 2009 compared to $292.1 million for the six-month period ended June 28, 2008, a decrease of less than 1%. The decrease was primarily attributable to lower volumes from our commercial print customers.

Net sales of the Marketing and Publishing Services segment decreased $49.7 million, or 20.6%, to $191.1 million for the first six months of 2009 compared to $240.8 million during the first six months of 2008. This decrease was primarily attributable to lower volumes in our educational book component, sampling and direct marketing operations, offset in part by incremental volume from the 2008 acquisition of Phoenix Color.

Gross Profit. Consolidated gross profit decreased $5.3 million, or 1.2%, to $430.1 million for the six months ended July 4, 2009 from $435.4 million for the six-month period ended June 28, 2008. As a percentage of net sales, gross profit margin increased to 56.3% for the six months ended July 4, 2009 from 53.4% for the comparative prior year period in 2008. Gross profit margin decreased by approximately 60 basis points due to the impact of Phoenix Color’s comparatively lower gross margins. Excluding this impact, gross profit margin increased approximately 350 basis points to 56.9% in the second fiscal quarter of 2009. This increase in gross profit margin was due to a higher proportion of total sales in our Memory Book and Scholastic segments, which carry a higher relative gross margin, as well as increased prices for our memory book, jewelry and graduation products, the impact of cost reduction initiatives and lower precious metal costs.

Selling and Administrative Expenses. Selling and administrative expenses decreased $2.8 million, or 1.1%, to $245.7 million for the six months ended July 4, 2009 from $248.5 million for the corresponding period in 2008. As a percentage of net sales, selling and administrative expenses increased to 32.1% for the six months ended July 4, 2009 from 30.5% for the comparative period in 2008. This increase included $6.3 million of incremental costs resulting from the acquisition of Phoenix Color, including $2.9 million of non-cash amortization expense. Excluding the impact of the Phoenix Color acquisition, total selling and administrative expenses decreased $9.1 million to $239.4 million, representing 32.4% of net sales. The increase as a percentage of net sales was due to a higher proportion of total sales in our Memory Book and Scholastic segments, which typically carry higher selling costs, as well as lower overall sales in the first six months of 2009 compared to the same period in 2008.

Special Charges. For the six-month period ended July 4, 2009, the Company recorded $8.0 million of restructuring costs and $4.4 million of other special charges. Restructuring charges included $0.7 million of cost reduction initiatives in the Scholastic segment and $4.2 million of severance and related benefits for associated headcount reductions in the Memory Book segment primarily in connection with the announced closure of the Winston-Salem, North Carolina facility and certain other facilities. Additionally, the Marketing and Publishing Services segment incurred $1.8 million of severance and related benefits for associated headcount reductions in connection with the closure of its Baltimore, Maryland facility, $0.2 million of restructuring costs associated with the closure of the Pennsauken, New Jersey facilities, $0.2 million of other shutdown related costs and $0.9 million of other severance and related benefits associated with cost reduction initiatives. Other special charges included $0.5 million of non-cash asset impairment charges in our Scholastic segment related to the closure of Jostens’ Attleboro, Massachusetts facility and $2.5 million of non-cash asset impairment charges in our Memory Book segment related to the announced closure of the Winston-Salem, North Carolina facility. Additionally, the Marketing and Publishing Services segment reported $1.4 million of non-cash costs related to asset impairment charges.

Special charges for the six months ended June 28, 2008 included $1.2 million of costs in the Marketing and Publishing Services segment related to the closure of its Pennsauken, New Jersey facilities, $0.3 million of severance costs reducing headcount by one employee and $0.3 million related to other special charges for the Marketing and Publishing Services segment. The Scholastic segment incurred $0.8 million of charges associated with the closure of Jostens’ Attleboro, Massachusetts facility, $0.5 million of severance and related benefits associated with headcount reductions and $0.4 million of severance and related benefits in connection with the restructuring of its international organization. The Memory Book segment incurred $0.4 million of severance and related benefits associated with headcount reductions.

Operating Income. As a result of the foregoing, consolidated operating income decreased $10.7 million to $172.2 million for the six months ended July 4, 2009 compared to $183.0 million for the comparable period in 2008. As a percentage of net sales, operating income was 22.5% for both six-month periods ended July 4, 2009 and June 28, 2008.

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

Net interest expense decreased $4.6 million, or 7.4%, to $57.6 million for the six months ended July 4, 2009 compared to $62.3 million for the comparative prior year period, primarily due to lower interest rates on the Term Loan C facility and lower average outstanding borrowings under the revolving credit facilities.

Income Taxes. The Company has recorded an income tax provision for the six months ended July 4, 2009 based on its best estimate of the consolidated effective tax rate applicable for the entire year. The estimated full-year consolidated effective tax rates for 2009 are 39.3% and 38.6% for Holdings and Visant, respectively, before consideration of the effects of $0.2 million of net tax and interest expense accruals for unrecognized tax benefits and $0.6 million of other net income tax adjustments considered a current period tax benefit. The other net income tax adjustments considered a current period tax benefit consisted of $0.2 million of tax benefit for Visant and $0.4 million of tax benefit for Holdings on a separate company basis resulting in a consolidated income tax benefit of $0.6 million. The current period tax adjustments included the favorable effect of filing an amended return for a pre-acquisition period for Phoenix Color as well as an adjustment to reflect tax rates at which the Company expects deferred tax assets and liabilities to be realized or settled in the future as a result of changes in certain state income tax filing regulations. The combined effect of the annual estimated consolidated tax rates and the net current period tax adjustments resulted in effective tax rates of 39.0% and 38.6% for Holdings and Visant, respectively, for the six-month period ended July 4, 2009.

For the comparable six-month period ended June 28, 2008, the effective rates of income tax expense for Holdings and Visant were 39.3% and 38.5%, respectively.

Net Income. As a result of the aforementioned items, net income decreased $3.3 million to $70.0 million for the six months ended July 4, 2009 compared to net income of $73.3 million for the six months ended June 28, 2008.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

The following table presents cash flow activity of Holdings for the first six months of fiscal 2009 and 2008 and should be read in conjunction with our condensed consolidated statements of cash flows.

For the six months ended July 4, 2009, operating activities generated cash of $108.4 million compared with $99.0 million for the comparable prior year period. The increase in cash provided by operating activities of $9.4 million was primarily attributable to a lower use of cash for working capital for the six months ended July 4, 2009 versus the comparable 2008 period.

Net cash used in investing activities for the six months ended July 4, 2009 was $21.3 million, compared with $243.6 million for the comparative 2008 period. The $222.3 million change was primarily driven by the acquisition of Phoenix Color in the first six months of 2008 for approximately $222.7 million, subject to adjustment. In addition, our capital expenditures relating to purchases of property, plant and equipment were $22.9 million and $21.9 million for the six months ended July 4, 2009 and June 28, 2008, respectively.

Net cash used in financing activities for the six months ended July 4, 2009 was $142.5 million, compared with cash provided by financing activities of $104.6 million for the comparable 2008 period. The $247.1 million change related to the repayment of $137.0 million of short term borrowings under the revolving credit facilities during the six month period ended July 4, 2009 versus net revolver borrowings under the revolving credit facilities of $103.6 million primarily in connection with the acquisition of Phoenix Color during the comparable 2008 period.

During the six months ended July 4, 2009, Visant transferred approximately $16.0 million of cash through Visant Secondary Holdings Corp. to Holdings to allow Holdings to make scheduled interest payments on its $350 million principal amount of 8.75% senior notes due 2013 and its $247.2 million principal amount of 10.25% senior discount notes. The transfer was reflected in Visant’s condensed consolidated balance sheet as a reduction in additional paid-in-capital and presented in Visant’s condensed consolidated statement of cash flows as a distribution to stockholder. The transfer amount eliminates in consolidation and had no impact on Holdings’ consolidated financial statements.

During the six months ended June 28, 2008, Visant transferred approximately $16.1 million of cash through Visant Secondary Holdings Corp. to Holdings to allow Holdings to make scheduled interest payments of $15.3 million on its $350 million principal amount of 8.75% senior notes due 2013, as well as repurchase common stock from a management stockholder totaling $0.7 million. The repurchase was included in Holdings’ condensed consolidated balance sheet as treasury stock, and the transfer was reflected in Visant’s condensed consolidated balance sheet as a reduction in additional paid-in-capital and presented in Visant’s condensed consolidated statement of cash flows as a distribution to stockholder. The transfer amount eliminates in consolidation and had no impact on Holdings’ consolidated financial statements.

We use cash generated from operations primarily for debt service obligations, capital expenditures and to fund other working capital requirements. 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 operating performance. Future principal debt payments are expected to be paid out of cash flows from operations, cash on hand and, if consummated, future refinancings of our debt. Based upon the current level of operations, we anticipate that cash flow from operations, available cash and cash equivalents are adequate to meet our liquidity needs for the next twelve months.

On May 28, 2009, Visant entered into Amendment No. 2 (the “Second Amendment”) to the senior secured credit facilities.

The Second Amendment provides for the following:

 

   

An extension of the termination date of the revolving credit commitments until September 4, 2011, provided that if the consolidated gross senior secured leverage ratio for the four quarter period ending as of the last day of Visant’s fiscal quarter ending closest to June 30, 2011 is less than 0.75 to 1.00, then such maturity date shall be January 4, 2012; provided, however, that if all tranche C term loans outstanding under the Credit Agreement shall not have been fully

 

43


 

repaid and/or refinanced on or prior to October 4, 2011, the maturity date of the revolving credit commitments shall be October 4, 2011 without regard to whether the consolidated gross senior secured leverage ratio condition referred to above has been met. The consolidated gross senior secured leverage ratio is defined as (1) the sum of (a) the aggregate principal amount of term loans and revolving credit commitments (whether used or unused) under the Credit Agreement, (b) with certain exceptions, the principal amount of all other secured indebtedness of Visant and its subsidiaries and (c) the outstanding capitalized lease obligations of Visant and its subsidiaries to (2) consolidated EBITDA.

 

   

The termination of all revolving credit commitments held by each lender that did not remain or become a revolving credit lender under the senior secured credit facilities as amended by the Second Amendment, resulting in a reduction of the revolving credit commitments from an aggregate of $250.0 million to an aggregate of $100.0 million (comprised of a commitment of $95.0 million under the U.S. revolving credit facility and a commitment of $5.0 million under the Canadian revolving credit facility).

 

   

An increase in the pricing on all revolving credit and swingline loans from and after the date of the Second Amendment, with such loans bearing interest, at Visant’s option (except in the case of swingline loans, which in all cases will bear interest at the alternate base rate plus 3.00% per annum), at either adjusted LIBOR (with a minimum adjusted LIBOR of 2.00% per annum) plus 4.00% per annum or the alternate base rate plus 3.00% (or, in the case of Canadian dollar denominated loans, the bankers’ acceptance discount rate plus 4.00% or the Canadian prime rate plus 3.00% per annum).

 

   

An increase in the commitment fee rate to 0.75% per annum for unfunded revolving credit commitments.

We have substantial debt service requirements. As of July 4, 2009, we had total indebtedness of $1,413.7 million (exclusive of $14.0 million letters of credit outstanding) and cash and cash equivalents of $62.1 million. Our principal sources of liquidity are cash flow from operating activities and available borrowings under Visant’s senior secured credit facilities, which included $86.0 million of available borrowings under Visant’s $100.0 million revolving credit facilities as of July 4, 2009. As of July 4, 2009, Visant had $316.5 million outstanding under the Term C Loan facility, $500.0 million aggregate principal amount of the Visant senior subordinated notes, $350.0 million aggregate principal amount of the Holdings senior notes, $247.2 million aggregate principal amount at maturity of the Holdings discount notes and $14.0 million outstanding in the form of standby letters of credit under its secured credit facilities.

Our ability to refinance our debt or undertake alternative financing plans will depend on the credit markets and our financial condition at the time of such refinancing or other undertaking. The extent of any impact of credit market conditions on our ability to refinance our debt or undertake alternative financing plans will depend on several factors, including our operating cash flows, the duration of tight credit conditions, our credit ratings and credit capacity, the cost of financing and other general economic and business conditions. Any refinancing of our debt could be on less favorable terms, including being subject to higher interest rates. In addition, the terms of existing or future debt instruments, including the Visant senior secured credit facilities, the indentures governing the Holdings senior notes and senior discount notes and the indenture governing the Visant senior subordinated notes, may restrict certain of our alternatives.

We may decide to raise additional funds through debt or equity financings. The possibility of consummating any such financing will be subject to conditions in the capital markets. Furthermore, to the extent we make future acquisitions, we may require new sources of funding, including additional debt or equity financing or some combination thereof. We may not be able to secure additional sources of funding on favorable terms or at all.

As market conditions warrant, we and our Sponsors, including KKR and DLJMBP III and their affiliates, may from time to time redeem or repurchase debt securities issued by Holdings or Visant, in privately negotiated or open market transactions, by tender offer, exchange 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 July 4, 2009, the Company was in compliance with all covenants under its material debt obligations.
