Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)

Visant Holding Corp. and subsidiaries

 

1.              Significant Accounting Policies

 

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.

 

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

 

As a result of the 2004 Transactions as discussed in Note 2, the condensed consolidated financial statements include the consolidation of Jostens, Inc. (“Jostens”), Von Hoffmann Holdings, Inc. (“Von Hoffmann”) and AHC I Acquisition Corp. (“Arcade”), entities under common control since July 30, 2003.

 

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X.  Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States for complete financial statements.  In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included.  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 our Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended January 1, 2005 (“2004 Form 10-K”).

 

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

 

Stock-Based Compensation

We apply the intrinsic method prescribed by Accounting Principles Board Opinion (“APB”) 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees, and related interpretations in accounting for stock options granted to employees and non-employee directors.  Accordingly, since all options are granted at or above fair value, no compensation cost is typically reflected in net income (loss) for these plans.  Our pro forma net income incorporating the amortization of the stock-based compensation expense determined under the fair value recognition provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation, would not have been materially different from the reported net income in the statements of operations for the periods presented.

 

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

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

In December 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued a revision of SFAS 123.  This statement eliminates the alternative to use the intrinsic value method of accounting that was permitted in SFAS 123 as originally issued and will require recognition of compensation expense related to all equity awards granted after the required effective date and to awards modified, repurchased, or cancelled after that date based on the grant date fair values of the awards.  This statement is effective for us as of the first interim or annual reporting period that commences after December 15, 2005.  We have not yet determined the impact of adopting this statement on our consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

 

FSP 109-2 – Accounting and Disclosure Guidance for the Foreign Earnings Repatriation Provision within the American Jobs Creation Act of 2004.

In October 2004, the American Jobs Creation Act of 2004 (the “AJC Act”) was signed into law.  This legislation

 

7



 

creates, among other things, a temporary incentive for U.S. multinational companies to repatriate accumulated income earned outside the U.S. at a favorable rate of tax.  In December 2004, the FASB issued Staff Position (FSP) 109-2, which provides accounting and disclosure guidance for the repatriation provision.  Although we intend to repatriate earnings from our Canadian subsidiary in an amount that could range from $8 million to $13 million, we have not yet completed our analysis of the tax effect of such a distribution.  Due to the complexity of the calculations, we anticipate that our analysis of the tax benefit of repatriation will be completed by the fourth quarter of 2005 and that the effect on the Company’s effective annual rate will be recorded at that time.

 

2.              2004 Transactions

 

On October 4, 2004, an affiliate of Kohlberg Kravis Roberts & Co. L.P. (“KKR”) and affiliates of DLJ Merchant Banking Partners completed transactions (collectively, the “2004 Transactions”) which created a specialty printing, marketing and school-related affinity products and services organization comprised of the operations of Jostens, Von Hoffmann, including Von Hoffmann’s subsidiary, The Lehigh Press, Inc., and Arcade.

 

Prior to the 2004 Transactions, Von Hoffmann and Arcade were each controlled by affiliates of DLJ Merchant Banking Partners II, L.P. (“DLJMBP II”), and DLJ Merchant Banking Partners III, L.P. (“DLJMBP III”) owned approximately 82.5% of Holdings’ outstanding equity, with the remainder held by other co-investors and certain members of management.  Upon consummation of the 2004 Transactions, an affiliate of KKR invested $256.1 million and was issued equity interests representing approximately 49.6% of Holdings’ voting interest and 45% of Holdings’ economic interest.   Approximately $175.6 million of the proceeds were distributed to certain shareholders, and certain treasury stock held by Von Hoffmann was redeemed.  As a result of the 2004 Transactions, affiliates of DLJMBP III held equity interests representing approximately 41% of our voting interest and 45% of our economic interest, with the remainder held by other co-investors and certain members of management.  After giving effect to the issuance of equity to additional members of management, as of May 13, 2005 affiliates of KKR and DLJMBP III held approximately 49.1% and 41%, respectively, of the voting interests of Holdings, while each continues to hold approximately 45% of Holdings’ economic interest.

 

In connection with the 2004 Transactions, Visant entered into new senior secured credit facilities, providing for an aggregate amount of $1,270 million, including a $250 million revolving credit facility, and issued $500 million aggregate principal amount of 75/8 % senior subordinated notes.   Also in connection with the 2004 Transactions, Jostens, Von Hoffmann and Arcade repaid their existing indebtedness having an aggregate face value of $1,392.6 million including the redemption value of certain remaining redeemable preferred stock.

6.              Special Charges

 

During the second quarter of 2005, we recorded $1.9 million of special charges relating to severance payments and related benefits associated with on-going initiatives at Jostens and the Print Group.  Jostens recorded $1.6 million relating to a headcount reduction of 19 employees while the Print Group recorded $0.3 million related to severance costs reducing headcount by four employees.

 

For the six months ended June 2005, we incurred $4.8 million of special charges, including $3.8 million related to severance costs and related benefits associated with the reduction in headcount of 44 Jostens employees.  The Print Group recorded severance of $0.7 million related to a reduction in personnel of five employees, as well as $0.3 million of costs related to a withdrawal liability under a union retirement plan that is payable in connection with the consolidation of certain operations.  As of July 2, 2005, we have paid $2.4 million related to initiatives begun in 2005 (“2005 initiatives”), which have affected 49 employees.

 

Restructuring accruals of $4.8 million as of July 2, 2005 and $8.1 million as of January 1, 2005 are included in other accrued liabilities in the condensed consolidated balance sheets.  The accruals as of January 1, 2005 include amounts provided for severance related to reductions in corporate and administrative employees from both Jostens and the Print Group, as well as the consolidation of our Print Group’s one- and two-color print operations.

 

On a cumulative basis through July 2, 2005, we incurred $13.4 million of employee severance costs related to initiatives begun in 2004 (“2004 initiatives”), which affected 310 employees.  To date, we have paid $10.6 million in cash related to these initiatives.

During the six months ended July 2, 2005, Visant voluntarily prepaid $103.5 million of its term loans under its senior secured credit facilities, including all originally scheduled principal payments due under its term loans A and C in 2005 through most of 2009.  As of July 2, 2005, there was $9.0 million outstanding in the form of short-term borrowings at our Canadian subsidiary at a

 

12



 

weighted average interest rate of 5.1% and an additional $15.8 million outstanding in the form of letters of credit, leaving $225.2 million available under the revolving credit facility.

 

In conjunction with the 2004 Transactions as described in Note 2, we repaid the existing indebtedness of Jostens, Von Hoffmann and Arcade in full.

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

The indentures governing Visant’s senior subordinated notes and Holdings’ senior discount notes also contain numerous covenants including, among other things, restrictions on our 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 our restricted subsidiaries to make dividends or distributions to us; engage in transactions with affiliates; and create liens.

 

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

 

As of July 2, 2005, we were in compliance with all covenants under our material debt obligations.

 

8.     Redeemable Preferred Stock

 

In conjunction with the 2004 Transactions as described in Note 2, all outstanding shares of redeemable preferred stock of Jostens and Arcade, together with accrued dividends, were redeemed in full.

9.     Derivative Financial Instruments and Hedging Activities

 

Our involvement with derivative financial instruments is limited principally to managing well-defined interest rate and foreign currency exchange risks.  Forward foreign currency exchange contracts may be used to hedge the impact of currency fluctuations primarily on inventory purchases denominated in euros.  At July 2, 2005, there were no contracts outstanding.

 

 10.         Commitments

 

We are subject to market risk associated with changes in the price of precious metals.  To mitigate our commodity price risk, we enter into forward contracts to purchase gold, platinum and silver based upon the estimated ounces needed to satisfy projected customer demand.  Our purchase commitment at July 2, 2005 was $8.3 million with delivery dates occurring throughout 2005.  These forward purchase contracts are considered normal purchases and therefore subject to a scope exclusion of the requirements of SFAS 133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities.  The fair market value of our open precious metal forward contracts as of July 2, 2005 was $8.4 million and was calculated by valuing each contract at quoted futures prices.

 

11.  Income Taxes

 

Consistent with the provisions of APB 28, Interim Financial Reporting, we have provided an income tax provision based on our best estimate of the consolidated effective tax rate applicable for the entire year.  Based on those estimates, for the six months ended July 2, 2005, we provided an income tax provision at a consolidated effective rate of 41.4% and 40.5% for Holdings and Visant, respectively.  The annual effective tax rate does not include any anticipated benefit attributable to the dividend repatriation provisions under the American Jobs Creation Act of 2004 as discussed in Note 1.  Our preliminary evaluation indicates that the benefit of the repatriation would result in an effective tax rate for the year between 39% and 40%.

 

For the comparable six-month period ended July 3, 2004, the effective income tax rate for Holdings and Visant was 65.1% and 31.3%, respectively.  These tax rates reflect the combined effect of separately reported effective tax rates for Holdings and our acquired companies prior to the 2004 Transactions.  Accordingly, these tax rates are not intended to reflect a combined effective tax rate that would have been reported if the 2004 Transactions had occurred at the beginning of the 2004 fiscal period.

 

The consolidated effective tax rates remained the same for the six month period ended July 2, 2005 as they were for the three month period ended April 2, 2005, since there have not been any significant events that would warrant a change in rate.

For the six months ended July 2, 2005, we made contributions totaling $1.5 million to the pension plans and $0.4 million to the postretirement welfare plans.  This is consistent with our projected contributions for 2005 of $2.7 million to the pension plans and $0.7 million to the postretirement benefit plans as disclosed in our 2004 Form 10-K.

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

 

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

 

CAUTIONARY NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

 

This report may contain “forward-looking statements.”  The Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 provides a “safe harbor” for certain forward-looking statements so long as such information is identified as forward-looking and is accompanied by meaningful cautionary statements identifying important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those projected in the information.  Forward-looking statements are based on our current expectations or forecasts of future events.  Forward-looking statements generally can be identified by the use of forward-looking terminology such as “may”, “might”, “will”, “should”, “estimate”, “project”, “plan”, “anticipate”, “expect”, “intend”, “outlook”, “continue”, “believe”, or the negative thereof or other similar expressions, which are intended to identify forward-looking statements and information.  Such forward-looking statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other important factors that could cause the actual results, performance or achievements of the Company, or industry results, to differ materially from historical results, any future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements.  These forward-looking statements are based on estimates and assumptions by our management that, although we believe are reasonable, are inherently uncertain and subject to a number of risks and uncertainties and you should not place undue reliance on them.

 

Such risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to, the following: our substantial indebtedness; our inability to implement our business strategy and achieve anticipated cost savings in a timely and effective manner; competition from other companies; the seasonality of our businesses; the loss of significant customers or customer relationships; fluctuations in raw material prices; our reliance on a limited number of suppliers; our reliance on numerous complex information systems; the reliance of our businesses on limited production facilities; the amount of capital expenditures required at our businesses; labor disturbances; environmental regulations; foreign currency fluctuations and foreign exchange rates; the outcome of litigation; control by our controlling stockholders; the dependency on the sale of school textbooks; the textbook adoption cycle and levels of government funding for education spending; Jostens’ reliance on independent sales representatives; and the failure of our sampling systems to comply with U.S. postal regulations.  These factors could cause actual results to differ materially from historical results or those anticipated or predicted by the forward-looking information.

 

We caution that the foregoing list of important factors is not exclusive.  Forward-looking statements speak only as of the date they are made and we undertake no obligation to update publicly or revise any of them in light of new information, future events or otherwise, except as required by law.

 

GENERAL

 

We generate a significant portion of our net sales through the sale of specialty printing and marketing products to the North American education sector.  Our printing and marketing products include, among others, yearbooks, educational materials, diplomas, announcements, direct marketing materials and commercial printing.  We also manufacture and distribute non-print school-related affinity products and services, such as class rings, caps and gowns and school photography.  We sell our products and services to end customers through different sales channels, including independent sales representatives and dedicated sales forces.  Our sales and results of operations are impacted by general economic conditions, seasonality, costs of raw materials, school population trends, product quality and service and price.

 

Our reportable segments consist of Jostens and the Print Group.  Jostens is a leading provider of school-related affinity products and services that help people celebrate important moments, recognize achievements and build affiliation.  Jostens’ products include yearbooks, class rings, graduation products and school photography.

 

23



 

The Print Group includes the production of four-color case bound and soft-cover educational textbooks and textbook covers, standardized test materials and related components for major educational publishers in the United States. The Print Group also produces business-to-business catalogues and multi-sensory and interactive advertising sampling systems for the fragrance, cosmetics and personal care markets, as well as other consumer product markets, and a range of innovative printing products and services to the direct marketing sector.

 

2004 Transactions

 

On October 4, 2004, an affiliate of Kohlberg Kravis Roberts & Co. L.P. (“KKR”) and affiliates of DLJ Merchant Banking Partners completed transactions (collectively, the “2004 Transactions”) which created a specialty printing, marketing and school-related affinity products and services organization comprised of the operations of Jostens, Von Hoffmann, including Von Hoffmann’s subsidiary, The Lehigh Press, Inc., and Arcade.

 

Prior to the 2004 Transactions, Von Hoffmann and Arcade were each controlled by affiliates of DLJ Merchant Banking Partners II, L.P. (“DLJMBP II”), and DLJ Merchant Banking Partners III, L.P. (“DLJMBP III”) owned approximately 82.5% of Holdings’ outstanding equity, with the remainder held by other co-investors and certain members of management.  Upon consummation of the 2004 Transactions, an affiliate of KKR invested $256.1 million and was issued equity interests representing approximately 49.6% of Holdings’ voting interest and 45% of Holdings’ economic interest.  Approximately $175.6 million of the proceeds were distributed to certain shareholders, and certain treasury stock held by Von Hoffmann was redeemed.  As a result of the 2004 Transactions, affiliates of DLJMBP III held equity interests representing approximately 41% of our voting interest and 45% of our economic interest, with the remainder held by other co-investors and certain members of management.  After giving effect to the issuance of equity to additional members of management, as of May 13, 2005 affiliates of KKR and DLJMBP III held approximately 49.1% and 41%, respectively, of the voting interests of Holdings, while each continues to hold approximately 45% of Holdings’ economic interest.

 

In connection with the 2004 Transactions, Visant entered into new senior secured credit facilities, providing for an aggregate amount of $1,270 million, including a $250 million revolving credit facility, and issued $500 million aggregate principal amount of 75/8% senior subordinated notes.  Also in connection with the 2004 Transactions, Jostens, Von Hoffmann and Arcade repaid their existing indebtedness having an aggregate face value of $1,392.6 million including redemption value of certain remaining redeemable preferred stock.

 

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

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

 

There have been no material changes to our critical accounting policies and estimates as described in Item 7 of our Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended January 1, 2005 (“2004 Form 10-K”).

 

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

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

In December 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued a revision of SFAS 123.  This statement eliminates the alternative to use the intrinsic value method of accounting that was permitted in SFAS 123 as originally issued and will require recognition of compensation expense related to all equity awards granted after the required effective date and to awards modified, repurchased, or cancelled after that date based on the grant date fair values of the awards.  This statement is effective for us as of the first interim or annual reporting period that

 

24



 

commences after December 15, 2005.  We have not yet determined the impact of adopting this statement on our consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

 

FSP 109-2 – Accounting and Disclosure Guidance for the Foreign Earnings Repatriation Provision within the American Jobs Creation Act of 2004.

In October 2004, the American Jobs Creation Act of 2004 (the “AJC Act”) was signed into law.  This legislation creates, among other things, a temporary incentive for U.S. multinational companies to repatriate accumulated income earned outside the U.S. at a favorable rate of tax.  In December 2004, the FASB issued Staff Position (FSP) 109-2, which provides accounting and disclosure guidance for the repatriation provision.  Although we intend to repatriate earnings from our Canadian subsidiary in an amount that could range from $8 million to $13 million, we have not yet completed our analysis of the tax effect of such repatriation.  Due to the complexity of the calculations, we anticipate that our analysis of the tax benefit of repatriation will be completed by the fourth quarter of 2005 and that the effect on the Company’s effective annual rate will be recorded at that time.

Net Sales

Consolidated net sales increased $14.8 million, or 2.7%, to $562.5 million for the three months ended July 2, 2005 from $547.7 million for the same prior year period.

 

Jostens’ net sales increased $20.6 million, or 5.5%, to $396.8 million for the current period to $376.2 million for the same prior year period.  Jostens’ second quarter revenues are comprised primarily from the production and sale of yearbooks.  The 5.5% increase from the prior year was primarily attributable to improved yearbook printing sales and, to a lesser extent, a shift of graduation product sales into the second quarter from the first quarter as compared to the same period last year due to the timing of deliveries.

 

Print Group net sales decreased $5.0 million, or 2.9%, to $166.6 million for the current period compared to $171.5 million for the same prior year period.  The decrease was due primarily to lower book and premedia sales. The lower book sales were primarily attributable to the manufacture of fewer non-educational books resulting from the first quarter closing of the Frederick, Maryland plant, and, to a lesser extent, lower pricing for certain educational products and lower throughput in our four-color facility due primarily to the reduction in run length and increased complexity related to state-specific textbooks.

 

Gross Profit

Gross profit increased $36.1 million, or 16.2%, to $259.3 million for the three months ended July 2, 2005 from $223.2 million for the same prior year period.  As a percentage of net sales, gross profit margin increased to 46.1% for the current three-month period from 40.8% for the same period last year.

 

The increased gross profit as a percent of sales in the second quarter was primarily a result of approximately $33 million of less purchase accounting amortization than the second quarter of 2004 relating to Jostens.  This amortization was primarily related to order backlog intangible assets associated with the accounting of the purchase of Jostens in July 2003.  Excluding the impact of this adjustment, gross profit decreased to 46.5% from an adjusted gross margin of 47.2%.  This decrease was due mainly to an additional $10 million of incremental diploma costs incurred at Jostens as a result of production issues associated with the relocation of its Red Wing manufacturing facility to certain other facilities.  Jostens expects to incur an additional $1 to $2 million of higher than planned diploma costs in the third quarter of 2005.  Margins were also affected by slightly lower margins in the Print Group for the quarter.  This reduction was partially offset by margin improvement in Jostens’ yearbook printing.

 

Selling and Administrative Expenses

Selling and administrative expenses increased $0.6 million, or 0.4%, to $135.2 million for the three months ended July 2, 2005 from $134.6 million for the same prior year period.  As a percentage of net sales, selling and administrative expenses decreased 0.6 percentage points to 24.0% for the current three-month period from 24.6% for the same period last year.  The $0.6 million increase was primarily due to higher commission expense related to the timing of Jostens sales offset somewhat by the impact of administrative headcount reductions.

 

26



 

Special Charges

During the second quarter of 2005, we recorded $1.9 million of special charges.  Of this amount, $1.6 million related to severance payments and related benefits associated with the reduction in headcount of 19 Jostens employees.  We also recorded severance of $0.3 million related to Print Group personnel.

 

Operating Income

Consolidated operating income increased $33.6 million, or 38.2%, to $121.8 million for the three months ended July 2, 2005 from $88.2 million for the same prior year period.  As a percentage of net sales, operating income increased to 21.7% for the current three-month period from 16.1% for the same period last year.

 

Jostens operating income increased $37.0 million, or 58.9%, to $99.8 million for the current three-month period compared to $62.8 million for the same period last year.  The increase in Jostens’ operating income was primarily a result of approximately $33 million of less purchase accounting amortization than the second quarter of 2004 relating as well as the implementation of cost reduction initiatives, offset somewhat by an additional $10 million of diploma costs.

 

Print Group operating income decreased $3.4 million, or 13.3%, to $22.0 million for the three months ended July 2, 2005 from $25.3 million for the same prior year period primarily due to lower book and premedia sales.

Net interest expense decreased $12.7 million, or 29.5%, to $30.5 million for the three months ended July 2, 2005 as compared to $43.2 million for the same prior year period.  The decrease was the result of our new debt arrangements at lower interest rates put in place in connection with the consummation of the 2004 Transactions.

 

Income Taxes

Consistent with the provisions of APB 28, Interim Financial Reporting, we have provided an income tax provision based on our best estimate of the consolidated effective tax rate applicable for the entire year.  Based on those estimates, for the three months ended July 2, 2005, we provided an income tax provision at a consolidated effective rate of 41.4% and 40.5% for Holdings and Visant, respectively.  The annual effective tax rate does not include any anticipated benefit attributable to the dividend repatriation provisions under the American Jobs Creation Act of 2004.  Our preliminary evaluation indicates that the benefit of the repatriation would result in an effective tax rate for the year between 39% and 40%.

 

For the comparable three-month period ended July 3, 2004, the effective income tax rate for Holdings and Visant was 29.6% and 15.9%, respectively.  These tax rates reflect the combined effect of separately reported effective tax rates for Holdings and our acquired companies prior to the 2004 Transactions.  Accordingly, these tax rates are not intended to reflect a combined effective tax rate that would have been reported if the 2004 Transactions had occurred at the beginning of the 2004 fiscal period.

 

The consolidated effective tax rates have remained the same for the three month period ended July 2, 2005 as they were for the three month period ended April 2, 2005, since there have not been any significant events that would warrant a change in rate.

 

Net Income

As a result of the aforementioned items, net income increased $21.9 million, or 69.0%, to $53.5 million for the three months ended July 2, 2005 from $31.7 million for the same prior year period.

Net Sales

Consolidated net sales increased $13.8 million, or 1.6%, to $871.6 million for the six months ended July 2, 2005 from $857.8 million for the same prior year period.

 

Jostens’ net sales increased $17.3 million, or 3.3%, to $536.6 million for the current period compared to $519.3 million for the same prior year period.  The increase in Jostens’ net sales was primarily attributable to higher yearbook sales.

 

29



 

Print Group net sales decreased $2.2 million, or 0.6%, to $336.3 million for the current period compared to $338.5 million for the same prior year period.  The decrease in Print Group net sales was primarily attributable to the lower sales in the second quarter of 2005 as well as lower paper sales in the first quarter of 2005, offset by strong revenues from direct marketing and sampling products in the first quarter.

 

Gross Profit

Gross profit increased $37.9 million, or 11.1%, to $378.9 million for the six months ended July 2, 2005 from $341.0 million for the same prior year period.  As a percentage of net sales, gross profit margin increased to 43.5% for the current six-month period from 39.8% for the same period last year.

 

The increased gross profit as a percent of sales was primarily a result of approximately $33.7 million of less purchase accounting depreciation and amortization than the first half of 2004 relating to Jostens.  This amortization was primarily related to order backlog intangible assets associated with the accounting of the purchase of Jostens in July 2003.  Excluding the impact of these adjustments, gross profit decreased to 44.0% from an adjusted gross margin of 44.2%.  This decrease was primarily due to the diploma costs incurred at Jostens which was mostly offset by margin improvement in Jostens’ yearbook printing and favorable mix within the Print Group relating to increased volume from higher margin products.

 

Selling and Administrative Expenses

Selling and administrative expenses decreased $3.5 million, or 1.5%, to $238.4 million for the six months ended July 2, 2005 from $241.9 million for the same prior year period.  As a percentage of net sales, selling and administrative expenses decreased to 27.3% for the current six-month period from 28.2% for the same period last year.  The $3.5 million decrease was primarily due to the impact of administrative headcount reductions.

 

Special Charges

During the first six months of 2005, we recorded $4.8 million of special charges, including $3.8 million related to severance payments and related benefits associated with the reduction in headcount of 44 Jostens employees.  We also recorded severance of $0.7 million related to the reduction in headcount of five Print Group employees as well as $0.3 million of costs related to a withdrawal liability under a union retirement plan that is payable in connection with the consolidation of certain operations.

 

Operating Income

Consolidated operating income increased $36.4 million, or 37.2%, to $134.4 million for the six months ended July 2, 2005 from $98.0 million for the same prior year period.  As a percentage of net sales, operating income increased to 15.4% for the current six-month period from 11.4% for the same period last year.

 

Jostens operating income increased $33.0 million, or 58.1%, to $89.9 million for the current six-month period compared to $56.9 million for the same period last year.  The increase in Jostens’ operating income was primarily a result of approximately $33.7 million of less purchase accounting depreciation and amortization than the first half of 2004 as well as the implementation of cost reduction initiatives, offset by approximately $12 million of incremental diploma costs.

 

Print Group operating income increased $3.4 million, or 8.3%, to $44.5 million for the six months ended July 2, 2005 from $41.1 million for the same prior year period primarily as a result of favorable product mix.

Net interest expense decreased $24.7 million, or 28.8%, to $61.0 million for the six months ended July 2, 2005 as compared to $85.7 million for the same prior year period.  The decrease was the result of our new debt structure at lower interest rates upon the consummation of the 2004 Transactions.

 

Income Taxes

Consistent with the provisions of APB 28, Interim Financial Reporting, we have provided an income tax provision based on our best estimate of the consolidated effective tax rate applicable for the entire year.  Based on those estimates, for the six months ended July 2, 2005, we provided an income tax provision at a consolidated effective rate of 41.4% and 40.5% for Holdings and Visant, respectively.  The annual effective tax rate does not include any anticipated benefit attributable to the dividend repatriation provisions under the American Jobs Creation Act of 2004.  Due to the complexity of the calculations, we anticipate that our analysis of the tax benefit of repatriation will be completed by the fourth quarter of 2005 and that the effect on the Company’s effective annual rate will be recorded at that time.  However, our preliminary evaluation anticipates that the benefit of the repatriation would result in an effective tax rate for the year between 39% and 40%.

 

For the comparable six-month period ended July 3, 2004, the effective income tax rate for Holdings and Visant was 65.1% and 31.3%, respectively.  These tax rates reflect the combined effect of separately reported effective tax rates for Holdings and our acquired companies prior to the 2004 Transactions.  Accordingly, these tax rates are not intended to reflect a combined effective tax rate that would have been reported if the 2004 Transactions had occurred at the beginning of the 2004 fiscal period.

 

The consolidated effective tax rates have remained the same for the six month period ended July 2, 2005 as they were for the three month period ended April 2, 2005, since there have not been any significant events that would warrant a change in rate.

Net Income

As a result of the aforementioned items, net income increased $38.9 million, or 944.1%, to $43.0 million for the three months ended July 2, 2005 from $4.1 million for the same prior year period.

 

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

For the six months ended July 2, 2005, operating activities generated cash of $54.8 million compared with $47.0 million for the same prior year period.  The $7.7 million increase related to increased earnings and lower cash paid for interest for the six months ended 2005 compared to 2004.  Net cash used in investing activities for the six months ended July 2, 2005 was $30.1 million, compared with $14.1 million for the comparable 2004 period.  The $16.0 million increase related to additional capital expenditures of $11.4 million in the current year as well as reduced proceeds from assets sales in 2005 compared to 2004.  Capital expenditures for the six months ended July 2, 2005 totaled $30.6 million.  Net cash used in financing activities for the six months ended July 2, 2005 was $97.1 million, an increase of $47.3 million, compared with $49.8 million for 2004.  The increase related to higher debt repayments for the six month period of 2005 compared to the prior year.

 

For the six months ended July 2, 2005, Visant voluntarily prepaid $103.5 million of scheduled payments under its bank term loan facilities including all principal payments due in 2005 through most of 2009.

 

During the quarter ended July 2, 2005, Holdings contributed $9.0 million in cash to Visant which is reflected in Visant’s condensed consolidated statement of cash flows as a contribution from Holdings.  These amounts eliminate in consolidation and have no impact on Holdings consolidated financial statements.

 

As of July 2, 2005, we had cash and cash equivalents of $12.5 million.  Our principal sources of liquidity are cash flows from operating activities and borrowings under Visant’s senior secured credit facilities, which included $225.2 million available under Visant’s revolving credit facility as of July 2, 2005.  We use cash primarily for debt service obligations, capital expenditures and to fund working capital requirements.  We intend to fund ongoing operations through cash generated by operations and borrowings under the revolving credit facility.

 

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

ITEM 3.  QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

 

There have been no material changes in our exposure to market risk during the quarter ended July 2, 2005.  For additional information, refer to Item 7A of our 2004 Form 10-K.

 

ITEM 4.     CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

 

As of the end of the period covered by this report, management, under the supervision of our Chief Executive Officer and Vice President, Finance, evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information that is required to be disclosed in our quarterly report is recorded, processed and summarized within time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and regulations and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Vice President, Finance, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures.  Any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives.  Based upon that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Vice President, Finance concluded that these disclosure controls and procedures are effective, in all material respects, in timely alerting them to material information relating to the Company required to be included in our periodic reports filed under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.

 

During the Company’s fiscal quarter ended July 2, 2005, there were no changes in the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting in connection with the above described evaluation that materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, these controls.

 

PART II.  OTHER INFORMATION

 

ITEM 1.  LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

 

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

 

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

 

On August 25, 2004, the plaintiff filed an amended complaint which contained substantially the same allegations regarding “stones” while dropping the claims regarding SilverElite® with platinum.  On September 29, 2004, Jostens filed another demurrer/motion to strike, challenging the legal sufficiency of plaintiff’s amended complaint.  On November 24, 2004, the Superior Court again sustained Jostens’ demurrer with leave to amend.  The plaintiff filed a second amended complaint dated December 16, 2004.  The court dismissed the action on January 26, 2005.  The plaintiff has appealed the court’s decision.  It is anticipated that the appeal will be fully briefed by the fourth quarter of 2005 and that arguments will occur thereafter.

 

In communications with U.S. Customs and Border Protection (“Customs”), the Company learned of an alleged inaccuracy of the tariff classification for certain of Jostens’ imports from Mexico.  Jostens promptly filed with

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