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.

 

Certain amounts in our prior period financial statements and notes have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation.

 

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 loss 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 loss.

 

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 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.  The U.S. Treasury Department has not completed its release of guidelines for applying the repatriation provisions of the AJC Act.  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 completed our analysis of the tax effect of such a distribution because we need additional guidance from the U.S. Treasury Department clarifying key elements of the AJC Act.  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 hold 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.

Amortization expense related to other intangible assets was $11.8 million and $12.2 million for the three months ended April 2, 2005 and April 3, 2004, respectively.  Based on intangible assets in service as of April 2, 2005, estimated amortization expense for the remainder of 2005 and each of the five succeeding fiscal years is $34.8 million, $44.4 million, $40.6 million, $38.8 million, $34.9 million and $33.5 million, respectively.

 

6.              Special Charges

 

During the first quarter of 2005, we recorded $3.0 million of special charges, including $2.2 million related to severance payments and related benefits associated with the reduction in headcount of 25 Jostens employees.  We also recorded severance of $0.4 million related to Print Group personnel as well as $0.3 million of costs related to a withdrawal liability under a union retirement plan that is payable in connection with the consolidation of certain operations.

 

Restructuring accruals of $6.1 million as of April 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 as well as the consolidation of our Print Group’s one- and two-color print operations.

 

On a cumulative basis through April 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 $9.9 million in cash related to these initiatives.

During the three months ended April 2, 2005, Visant voluntarily prepaid $63.6 million of principal due under the term loans including all principal payments due in 2005 through 2007.  As of April 2, 2005, there was $9.1 million outstanding in the form of short-term borrowings at our Canadian subsidiary at a weighted average interest rate of 5.24% and an additional $15.8 million outstanding in the form of letters of credit, leaving $225.1 million available under Visant’s revolving credit facility.

 

12



 

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 us 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 our 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 the Visant senior subordinated notes and the 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.

 

As of April 2, 2005, we were in compliance with all covenants.

 

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.  The amount of contracts outstanding at April 2, 2005 was $1.5 million.  These contracts will mature over the remainder of the current fiscal year.

 

13



 

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 April 2, 2005 was $14.8 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 April 2, 2005 was $15.1 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 benefit 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 April 2, 2005, we provided an income tax benefit 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 three-month period ended April 3, 2004, the effective rate of income tax benefit for Holdings and Visant was 16.9% and 5.3%, 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 combined effective annual tax rates are less than the Federal statutory tax rate primarily due to the unfavorable effect of non-deductible interest expense.

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 are materially the same as the financial condition and results of operations of Visant, and 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 Arcade’s 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.

 

21



 

Jostens’ products include class rings and graduation products (together “scholastic products”), yearbooks and school photography.  Graduation products include diplomas, graduation regalia such as caps and gowns, accessories and fine paper announcements.

 

The Print Group includes the operations of Von Hoffmann, Lehigh Lithographers, Arcade and Lehigh Direct.  Effective immediately upon the close of the 2004 Transactions (as defined below), we initiated actions to operate and manage these operations as an integrated business specializing in the production of printed materials.  Von Hoffmann is a leading manufacturer of four-color case bound and soft-cover educational textbooks, standardized test materials and related components for major educational publishers in the United States.  Von Hoffmann also provides commercial printing services to non-educational customers, including business-to-business catalogers.  Lehigh Lithographers is a leading manufacturer of decorative textbook covers and book components in the instructional materials market.  Arcade is a leading global marketer and manufacturer of multi-sensory and interactive advertising sampling systems for the fragrance, cosmetics and personal care markets as well as other consumer product markets, including household products and the food and beverage industries.  Lehigh Direct provides 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 hold 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 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.  The U.S. Treasury Department has not completed its release of guidelines for applying the repatriation provisions of the AJC Act.  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 completed our analysis of the tax effect of such a distribution because we need additional guidance from the U.S. Treasury Department clarifying key elements of the AJC Act.  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 decreased $1.0 million, or 0.3%, to $309.1 million for the three months ended April 2, 2005 from $310.1 million for the same prior year period.

 

Jostens’ net sales decreased $3.3 million, or 2.3%, to $139.7 million for the current period compared to $143.1 million for the same prior year period.  The decrease in Jostens’ net sales was primarily attributable to lower volume associated with the timing of deliveries of graduation announcements and diplomas from the first quarter to the second quarter relative to last year.  A significant portion of annual sales related to graduation products typically occurs over the first half of our fiscal year, however, it is common for us to experience delivery shifts between the first and second quarters.  Part of the timing difference this year, however, was due to manufacturing inefficiencies that occurred in connection with the relocation of Jostens’ diploma production operations.  Jostens is committed to minimizing the impact to our customers and, as a result, we anticipate that Jostens will incur additional costs this season to assure customer satisfaction and to address diploma manufacturing issues.  This volume decline was partially offset by general price increases across the product lines and growth in graduation regalia accounts.

 

Print Group net sales increased $2.4 million, or 1.4%, to $169.4 million for the current period compared to $167.0 million for the same prior year period.  The increase in Print Group net sales was the result of growth in sampling and direct marketing production as well as increased volume in educational printing partially offset by a reduction in paper sales to customers.

 

Gross Profit

Gross profit increased $1.8 million, or 1.6%, to $119.6 million for the three months ended April 2, 2005 from $117.8 million for the same prior year period.  As a percentage of net sales, gross profit margin increased 70 basis points to 38.7% for the current three-month period from 38.0% for the same period last year.

 

Gross profit margin in the current period was impacted by a favorable mix of sales within the Print Group as a result of increased volume from higher margin markets and decreased volume from lower margin paper sales.  Partially offsetting this increase, gross profit margin was negatively impacted by an unfavorable mix of sales within Jostens as a result of the volume shift between first quarter and second quarter for higher margin graduation products as well as increased costs for precious metals compared to last year and manufacturing inefficiencies related to Jostens’ diploma production operations discussed above.

 

Selling and Administrative Expenses

Selling and administrative expenses decreased $4.1 million, or 3.8%, to $103.2 million for the three months ended April 2, 2005 from $107.3 million for the same prior year period.  As a percentage of net sales, selling and administrative expenses decreased 1.2 percentage points to 33.4% for the current three-month period from 34.6% for the same period last year.  The $4.1 million decrease was primarily due to lower commission expense related to the timing of Jostens sales and the impact of cost reduction initiatives.

 

Special Charges

During the first quarter of 2005, we recorded $3.0 million of special charges, including $2.2 million related to severance payments and related benefits associated with the reduction in headcount of 25 Jostens employees.  We also recorded severance of $0.4 million related to Print Group personnel as well as $0.3 million of costs related to a withdrawal liability under a union retirement plan that is payable in connection with the consolidation of certain operations.

 

Operating Income

Consolidated operating income increased $2.8 million, or 28.5%, to $12.6 million for the three months ended April 2, 2005 from $9.8 million for the same prior year period.  As a percentage of net sales, operating income increased 90 basis points to 4.1% for the current three-month period from 3.2% for the same period last year.

 

Jostens incurred an operating loss in both periods, which increased $4.0 million, or 66.7%, to $9.9 million for the current three-month period compared to $6.0 million for the same period last year.  The increase in Jostens’ operating loss was the result of a volume shift between first quarter and second quarter for higher margin graduation

Print Group operating income increased $6.8 million, or 43.0%, to $22.5 million for the three months ended April 2, 2005 from $15.8 million for the same prior year period primarily as a result of increased sales and favorable product mix.

Net interest expense decreased $12.0 million, or 28.1%, to $30.6 million for the three months ended April 2, 2005 as compared to $42.5 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.

 

Benefit from Income Taxes

Consistent with the provisions of APB 28, Interim Financial Reporting, we have provided an income tax benefit 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 April 2, 2005, we provided an income tax benefit 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 April 3, 2004, the effective rate of income tax benefit for Holdings and Visant was 16.9% and 5.3%, 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 combined effective annual tax rates are less than the Federal statutory tax rate primarily due to the unfavorable effect of non-deductible interest expense.

 

26



 

Net Loss

As a result of the aforementioned items, net loss decreased $17.0 million, or 61.8%, to $10.5 million for the three months ended April 2, 2005 from $27.5 million for the same prior year period.

Operating activities generated cash of $16.1 million during the three months ended April 2, 2005 million compared with $11.6 million for the same prior year period.  Of the $4.5 million increase in operating cash flow, approximately $1.7 million was attributable to increased cash generated from the reduction of working capital.  The cash provided by operating activities was used to fund $15.3 million in capital expenditures.  Also during the quarter ended April 2, 2005, Visant voluntarily prepaid $63.6 million of scheduled payments under the term loan facilities including all principal payments due in 2005 through 2007.

 

As of April 2, 2005, we had cash and cash equivalents of $27.9 million.  Our principal sources of liquidity are cash flows from operating activities and borrowings under Visant’s senior secured credit facilities, which included $225.1 million available under Visant’s revolving credit facility as of April 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.

 

Our ability to make scheduled payments of principal, or to pay the interest on, or to refinance our indebtedness, or to fund planned capital expenditures will depend on our future performance, which, to a certain extent, is subject to general economic, financial, competitive, legislative, regulatory and other factors that are beyond our control.  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.  Our assumptions with respect to future costs may not be correct, and funds available to us may not be sufficient to enable us to service our indebtedness, including the notes, or cover any shortfall in funding for any unanticipated expenses.  In addition, 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.

 

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 April 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

 

27



 

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 April 2, 2005, there were no significant 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.
