Acquisitions [Text Block]

Acquisitions

The Company accounts for business combinations under the provisions of the Business Combination Topic of the Financial Accounting Standards Board’s Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 805.  Acquisitions are accounted for by the purchase method, and accordingly, the assets and liabilities of the acquired businesses have been recorded at their estimated fair value on the acquisition date with the excess of the purchase price over their estimated fair value recorded as goodwill. In the event the estimated fair value of the assets and liabilities acquired exceeds the purchase price paid, a bargain purchase gain is recorded in the consolidated statement of operations.

Acquisition-related costs are expensed as incurred. Acquisition-related including integration costs, are included in selling, general and administrative expenses in the Company’s consolidated statement of operations and were $1.5 million, $6.0 million and $5.1 million for the years ended 2012, 2011 and 2010, respectively.

2011

Nesbitt

On August 1, 2011, the Company acquired essentially all of the assets of Nesbitt, which had annual net sales of approximately $5.6 million prior to the acquisition by the Company. Nesbitt is a niche content management business that focuses on high end book content development and project management offerings and was acquired to further enhance the Company's content management operations. The total purchase price was approximately $5.6 million, and was allocated to the tangible and identifiable intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their estimated fair values at their acquisition date. The changes from the Company's original purchase price allocation primarily relate to changes in working capital settlements from the acquisition date. The Nesbitt acquisition resulted in $2.0 million of goodwill, all of which is deductible for income tax purposes, and was assigned to the Company's print and envelope segment. The Company believes that the recognized goodwill related to Nesbitt is due to expected synergies and a reasonable market premium. The acquired identifiable intangible assets relate to customer relationships of $1.4 million, which are being amortized over their estimated useful life of 10 years.

Nesbitt’s results of operations and cash flows are included in the Company’s consolidated statements of operations and cash flows from August 1, 2011 and are not included in 2010. Pro forma results for the years ended 2011and 2010, assuming the acquisition of Nesbitt had been made on January 3, 2010, have not been presented since the effect would not be material.

Envelope Product Group

On February 1, 2011, the Company acquired the assets of EPG. EPG manufactures and distributes envelope products for the billing, financial, direct mail and office products markets and had approximately 900 employees, all of which were located in the United States. Prior to the acquisition, EPG had annual net sales of approximately $240 million. The Company believes EPG has further strengthened its existing envelope operations and will provide for manufacturing efficiencies given EPG's unique asset base and geographic overlap of facilities that exists between EPG and the Company's existing envelope operations. EPG was assigned to the Company's print and envelope segment. The purchase price was approximately $55.2 million and was allocated to the tangible and identifiable intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their estimated fair values at the acquisition date. The EPG acquisition resulted in a bargain purchase gain of approximately $11.7 million, which was recognized in the Company's consolidated statement of operations. Prior to the recognition of the bargain purchase gain, the Company reassessed the fair value of the tangible and identifiable intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed in the acquisition. The Company believes it was able to acquire EPG for less than the fair value of its net assets due to its operating results prior to the Company's acquisition and given its parent company's desire to exit a non-core business. The acquired identifiable intangible assets relate to: (i) a trade name of $1.0 million, which is being amortized over its estimated useful life of 10 years and (ii) a patent of $0.5 million, which is being amortized over its estimated useful life of 15 years.

Purchase Price Allocation

The following table summarizes the allocation of the purchase price of EPG to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed in the acquisition as of February 1, 2011 (in thousands):

	Original		Adjustments			Adjusted

Net assets acquired	66,174		704			66,878
Cost of EPG acquisition	55,635		(477		)	55,158
Gain on bargain purchase of EPG	$	10,539	$	1,181		$	11,720

The changes from the Company's original purchase price allocation primarily relate to inventory fair value of $0.5 million, revisions to property, plant and equipment valuations of $0.4 million and adjustments to certain accruals of $0.2 million to present them at their estimated fair value. The Company finalized its purchase price allocation during the fourth quarter of 2011.

The fair values of property, plant and equipment and intangible assets associated with the EPG acquisition were determined to be Level 3 under the fair value hierarchy. Property, plant and equipment values were estimated based on discussions with machinery and equipment brokers, internal expertise related to the equipment and current marketplace conditions. The trade name and patent intangible assets were valued using a relief from royalty method based on future estimated revenues. The inputs used in the relief from royalty method include discount rates based on a weighted average cost of capital, growth and relief from royalty rates as well as an obsolescence factor.

EPG's results of operations and cash flows are included in the Company's consolidated statements of operations and cash flows from February 1, 2011 and are not included in 2010. As a result of the Company's integration of EPG into the Company's existing envelope operations, it is impracticable to disclose the amounts of revenues and earnings of EPG since the acquisition date.
