REPORT OF INDEPENDENT CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS

 

To the Stockholder of NorthStar Print Group, Inc.:

 

We have audited the accompanying balance sheet of the label division (“Division”) of NorthStar Print Group, Inc. (“Company”, a Wisconsin corporation) as of December 31, 2003, and the related statements of income, parent’s equity in division and cash flows for the year then ended. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit.

 

We conducted our audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America as established by the Auditing Standards Board of the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Division’s or Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

 

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the label division of NorthStar Print Group, Inc. as of December 31, 2003, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the year then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

December 31, 2003 and September 26, 2004 (unaudited)

(Thousands)

 

(1) THE COMPANY

 

The label division (“Division”) of NorthStar Print Group, Inc. (a wholly-owned subsidiary of Journal Communications, Inc. (“JCI” or “the parent company”)) produces gravure labels and flexographic pressure-sensitive labels for consumer product companies located domestically and internationally. The Division has plants located in Watertown, Wisconsin; Norway, Michigan; and Green Bay, Wisconsin. The division operates in a single business segment.

 

(2) SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

Revenue recognition

 

Revenue is recognized on sales of products when the customer receives title to the goods. This generally occurs upon shipment, except for the Division’s major customer (see Note 6) and one other customer who do not take title to the goods until received at the customer’s warehouse.

 

Shipping and Handling Costs

 

Shipping and handling costs billed to customers are included in net sales and the related costs are included in cost of goods sold.

 

Accounts Receivable

 

The Division records a reserve against its trade accounts receivable based upon management’s best estimate of uncollectible balances and historical levels of bad debts.

 

Inventories

 

Inventories are stated at the lower of FIFO (first-in, first-out) cost or market.

 

Property, Plant and Equipment

 

Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost.

 

Depreciation is calculated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets, as follows:

 

Buildings and improvements

   10-30 years

Machinery and equipment

   5-10 years

Computers

   3 years

Furniture and fixtures

   5-7 years

Leasehold improvements

   shorter of useful life
or lease term

 

In accordance with SFAS No. 144 “Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-lived Assets”, the Division reviews long-lived assets to be held and used for impairment whenever events or circumstances indicate that the carrying amounts may not be recoverable.

 

Goodwill

 

In accordance with SFAS No. 142, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets”, the Division tests goodwill annually during the fourth quarter of each fiscal year for impairment by comparing the fair value of the reporting unit responsible for the goodwill to its carrying amount. Under SFAS No. 142, impairment is also tested when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the assets carrying values may be greater than the fair values. No impairment resulted from our annual impairment tests in 2003.

 

Income Taxes

 

Income taxes are payable at the JCI level and are allocated to the Division by JCI. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are provided for temporary differences between the tax basis and reported amounts of assets and liabilities that will result in taxable or deductible amounts in future years.

 

Advertising Costs

 

Advertising costs are charged to expense as incurred. Such expenses were minimal for the year ended December 31, 2003.

 

Research and Development Costs

 

Research and development costs are charged to expense as incurred. Expenses were $227 for the year ended December 31, 2003.

 

F-6


Table of Contents

Use of Estimates in Financial Statements

 

In preparing financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, management makes estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, as well as the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

 

Comprehensive Income

 

The Division does not have any comprehensive income items, other than net income.

(4) EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS

 

Employees of the Division may participate in a defined contribution plan sponsored by JCI. The Division’s expenses for matching contributions related to this plan approximated $139 for the year ended December 31, 2003. We made additional contributions of $251 into the defined contribution plan on behalf of certain employees not covered by a defined benefit pension plan for the year ended December 31, 2003.

 

The Division has a defined contribution plan covering certain union employees. This plan provides benefits based on years of service. Plan assets consist primarily of listed equity and debt securities. Certain union employees participate in a multi-employer defined benefit pension plan. In addition, the Division will provide health benefits to certain eligible employees upon retirement. In accordance with the provisions of FASB Staff Position 106-1, the Division elected to defer accounting for the Medicare Prescription Drug, Improvement and Modernization Act of 2003 (the Act) pending guidance to be issued by the FASB. The table below only includes information on other postretirement benefits for currently active employees of the Division.

Litigation

 

Litigation is instituted from time to time against the Division which involves routine matters to the Division’s business. In the opinion of management, the ultimate disposition of any potential litigation will not have a material adverse effect upon the Division’s results of operations or financial position.

 

Sales Commitments

 

The Division is party to supply agreements with its major customer (see Note 6) and one other customer. The agreement with the major customer expires in December 2008, with provisions allowing the customer to competitively bid the business for each year beginning January 1, 2006, 2007 and 2008.

The unaudited pro forma statements of income for the twelve months ended March 31, 2004 and the six months ended September 30, 2004 are prepared as if the acquisition had occurred at the beginning of the respective periods. The unaudited pro forma balance sheet information as of September 30, 2004 has been prepared as if the acquisition had occurred on that date.

 

The preliminary purchase price of approximately $27 million, subject to a working capital adjustment, was based upon a multiple of earnings and the estimated book value of the assets acquired and assumed liabilities. The proceeds paid at closing were obtained through available cash of $5 million, $20 million in borrowings on the acquisition credit line and $2 million borrowed under the revolving line of credit. In addition to the purchase price, the Company recorded approximately $1.1 million for acquisition related costs, including legal, accounting and advisory services. The acquisition has been accounted for as an asset purchase, and accordingly the purchase price has been allocated on a preliminary basis to assets and liabilities based on their fair market value as of the date of acquisition. We do not expect the final allocation of the purchase price will differ significantly from the preliminary allocation.

 

The unaudited pro forma financial information should be read in conjunction with the historical consolidated financial statements and notes thereto of Multi-Color Corporation included on form 10-K and of the financial statements and notes thereto of NorthStar Print Group, Inc. included in this filing.

Multi-Color Corporation

Notes to Unaudited Pro Forma Consolidated Financial Statements

 

(A) To adjust depreciation expense as if the acquisition had been recorded at the beginning of the respective periods based on the estimated fair market value and estimated useful lives of the assets as of the date of the acquisition.

 

(B) To record amortization expense related to the intangible assets, comprised of customer relationships and customer contracts, recorded as a result of the acquisition.

 

(C) To adjust the interest expense associated with the $22 million in debt incurred in the acquisition funded by Multi Color’s acquisition line of credit ($20 million) and its revolving line of credit ($2 million), assuming an average interest rate of approximately 2.45% for the twelve months ended March 31, 2004 and approximately 2.35% for the six months ended September 30, 2004. The interest rate is based upon the average 30 day LIBOR rate in effect during the respective time periods plus 1.25%.

 

(D) To reflect income taxes as if the acquisition had occurred at the beginning of the respective periods using Multi Color’s effective tax rate of 37.5% for the twelve months ended March 31, 2004 and 37.7% for the six months ended September 30, 2004.

 

(E) To remove assets not purchased and liabilities not assumed with the acquisition, net of additional liabilities incurred as a direct result of the transaction and elimination of NorthStar’s equity.

 

(F) The proceeds paid at closing were obtained through available cash of $5 million, $20 million in borrowings on the acquisition credit line and $2 million borrowed under the revolving line of credit. In addition to the purchase price, the Company recorded approximately $1.1 million for acquisition related costs, including legal, accounting and advisory services. The $20 million acquisition line of credit is to be repaid over seven years in equal quarterly installments. Therefore, at September 30, 2004, $2.1 million is considered short term in addition to the $2 million revolver. $8.3 million NorthStar’s debt to its parent company was not assumed at the acquisition.

 

(G) Adjust acquired fixed assets to estimated fair value.

 

(H) To record the estimated fair value of intangible assets, comprised of customer relationships and customer contracts, acquired with the acquisition.
