MULTI-COLOR CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

(unaudited)

(in thousands, except per share data)

1. Description of Business and Significant Accounting Policies

The Company

Multi-Color Corporation (Multi-Color, MCC, We, Us, Our or the Company), headquartered in Cincinnati, Ohio, is a leader in global label solutions supporting a number of the world’s most prominent brands including leading producers of home & personal care, wine & spirit, food & beverage, healthcare and specialty consumer products. MCC serves international brand owners in North, Central and South America, Europe, Australia, New Zealand, South Africa and China with a comprehensive range of the latest label technologies in Pressure Sensitive, Glue-Applied (Cut and Stack), In-Mold, Shrink Sleeve and Heat Transfer.

Basis of Presentation

The condensed consolidated financial statements included herein have been prepared by the Company, without audit, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). Although certain information and footnote disclosures, normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (U.S. GAAP), have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations, the Company believes that the disclosures are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and the notes thereto included in the Company’s 2013 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

The information furnished in these condensed consolidated financial statements reflects all estimates and adjustments which are, in the opinion of management, necessary to present fairly the results for the interim periods reported.

The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated. Certain prior period balances have been reclassified to conform to current year classifications.

Use of Estimates in Financial Statements

In preparing financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP, 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.

Revenue Recognition

The Company recognizes revenue on sales of products when the customer receives title to the goods, which is generally upon shipment or delivery depending on sales terms, persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, the sales price is fixed or determinable and collectibility is reasonably assured. Revenues are generally denominated in the currency of the country from which the product is shipped and are net of applicable returns and discounts.

Shipping fees billed to customers are included in net revenues and shipping costs are included in cost of revenues in the consolidated statements of income. Taxes collected from customers and remitted to governmental authorities in applicable jurisdictions are excluded from net revenues.

Accounts Receivable

Our customers are primarily major consumer product, food & beverage, and wine & spirit companies and container manufacturers. Accounts receivable consist of amounts due from customers in connection with our normal business activities and are carried at sales value less allowance for doubtful accounts. The allowance for doubtful accounts is established to reflect the expected losses of accounts receivable based on past collection history, age, account payment status compared to invoice payment terms and specific individual risks identified. The delinquency of a receivable account is determined based on these factors. The Company does not accrue interest on aged accounts receivable. Allowances are recorded and charged to expense when an account is determined to be uncollectible.

Inventories

Inventories are valued at the lower of cost or market value and are maintained using the FIFO (first-in, first-out) or specific identification method. Excess and obsolete cost reductions are generally established based on inventory age.

Property, Plant and Equipment

Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost.

Depreciation expense, which includes the amortization of assets recorded under capital leases, is calculated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets, or the remaining terms of the leases, as follows:


Buildings			20-39 years
Machinery and equipment			3-15 years
Computers			3-5 years
Furniture and fixtures			5-10 years

Goodwill and Other Acquired Intangible Assets

Goodwill is not amortized and the Company tests goodwill for impairment annually, as of the last day of February of each fiscal year. Impairment is also tested when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the assets’ carrying values may be greater than the fair values. Intangible assets with definite useful lives are amortized over periods of up to twenty years based on a number of assumptions including estimated period of economic benefit and utilization. Intangible assets are also tested for impairment when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the assets’ carrying values may be greater than their fair values.

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

We review long-lived assets for impairment when events or changes in circumstances indicate that assets might be impaired and the related carrying amounts may not be recoverable. The determination of whether impairment exists involves various estimates and assumptions, including the determination of the undiscounted cash flows estimated to be generated by the assets involved in the review. The cash flow estimates are based upon our historical experience, adjusted to reflect estimated future market and operating conditions. Measurement of an impairment loss requires a determination of fair value. We base our estimates of fair values on quoted market prices when available, independent appraisals as appropriate and industry trends or other market knowledge. Changes in market conditions and/or losses of a production line could have a material impact on the condensed consolidated statements of income.

Income Taxes

The Company is subject to income taxes in both the United States and numerous foreign jurisdictions. Income taxes are recorded based on the current year amounts payable or refundable. Deferred income taxes are recognized at the enacted tax rates for the expected future tax consequences related to temporary differences between amounts reported for income tax purposes and financial reporting purposes as well as any tax attributes. Deferred income taxes are not provided for the undistributed earnings of subsidiaries operating outside of the U.S. that have been permanently reinvested in foreign operations.

We regularly review our deferred income tax balances for each jurisdiction to estimate whether these deferred income tax balances are more likely than not to be realized based on the information currently available. Projected future taxable income is based on forecasted results and assumptions as to the jurisdiction in which the income will be earned. The timing of reversals of any existing temporary differences is based on our methods of accounting for income taxes and current tax legislation. Unless the deferred tax balances are more likely than not to be realized, a valuation allowance is established to reduce the carrying values of any deferred tax balances until circumstances indicate that realization becomes more likely than not.

The Company establishes reserves for income tax related uncertainties based on estimates of whether it is more likely than not that the tax uncertainty would be sustained upon challenge by the appropriate tax authorities which would then result in additional taxes, penalties and interest due. Provisions for and changes to these reserves and any related net interest and penalties are included in income tax expense in the condensed consolidated statements of income. Significant judgment is required when evaluating our tax provisions and determining our provision for income taxes. We regularly review our tax positions and we adjust the reserves as circumstances change.

Earnings per Common Share

Basic earnings per common share (EPS) is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted EPS is computed by dividing net income by the sum of the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period plus if dilutive, potential common shares outstanding during the period. Potential common shares outstanding during the period consist of restricted shares and the incremental common shares issuable upon the exercise of stock options and are reflected in diluted EPS by application of the treasury stock method.

Derivative Financial Instruments

The Company accounts for derivative financial instruments by recognizing derivative instruments as either assets or liabilities in the condensed consolidated balance sheets at fair value and recognizing the resulting gains or losses as adjustments to the condensed consolidated statements of income or accumulated other comprehensive income. The Company does not hold or issue derivative financial instruments for trading or speculative purposes.

The Company manages interest costs using a mixture of fixed rate and variable rate debt. Additionally, the Company enters into interest rate swaps (Swaps) whereby it agrees to exchange with a counterparty, at specified intervals, the difference between fixed and variable interest amounts calculated by reference to an agreed upon notional principal amount.

The Company’s Swaps have been designated as effective cash flow hedges at inception. The Company evaluates effectiveness on an ongoing quarterly basis and therefore, any changes in fair value are recorded in other comprehensive income. If a hedge or portion thereof were determined to be ineffective, any changes in fair value would be recorded in other income and expense in the condensed consolidated statements of income.

The Company manages foreign currency exchange rate risk of foreign currency denominated firm commitments to purchase presses and other equipment by entering into forward currency contracts. The forward contracts have been designated as effective fair value hedges at inception. The Company evaluates effectiveness on an ongoing quarterly basis and therefore, any changes in fair value are recorded in other income and expense in the condensed consolidated statements of income to offset the foreign currency effect of the transactions.

Fair Value Measurements

The carrying value of financial instruments approximates fair value.

The Company defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset, or paid to transfer a liability, in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. To increase consistency and comparability in fair value measurements, the Company uses a three-level hierarchy that prioritizes the use of observable inputs. The three levels are:

Level 1 – Quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities

Level 2 – Observable inputs other than quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities

Level 3 – Unobservable inputs

The determination of where an asset or liability falls in the hierarchy requires significant judgment.

The Company has three non-amortizing interest rate Swaps with a total notional amount of $125,000 at June 30, 2013 to convert variable interest rates on a portion of outstanding debt to fixed interest rates. The Company adjusts the carrying value of these derivatives to their estimated fair values and records the adjustment in accumulated other comprehensive income.

The Company has entered into multiple forward contracts to fix the purchase price in U.S. dollars of foreign currency denominated firm commitments to purchase presses and other equipment. The forward contracts are designated as fair value hedges. The Company adjusts the carrying value of the derivative to the estimated fair value and records the adjustment other income and expense in the condensed consolidated statements of income.

Fair value measurements of nonfinancial assets and nonfinancial liabilities are primarily used in goodwill, other intangible assets and long-lived assets impairment analyses, the valuation of acquired intangibles and in the valuation of assets held for sale. The Company tests goodwill for impairment annually, as of the last day of February of each fiscal year. Impairment is also tested when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the assets’ carrying values may be greater than the fair values.

Foreign Exchange

The functional currency of each of the Company’s subsidiaries is generally the currency of the country in which the subsidiary operates. Assets and liabilities of foreign operations are translated using period end exchange rates, and revenues and expenses are translated using average exchange rates during each period. Translation gains and losses are reported in accumulated other comprehensive income as a component of stockholders’ equity. Transaction gains and losses are reported in other income and expense in the condensed consolidated statements of income.

Stock Based Compensation

The Company accounts for stock based compensation based on the fair value of the award, which is recognized as expense over the requisite service period. The Company’s stock based compensation expense for the three months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012 was $335 and $291, respectively.

New Accounting Pronouncements

In February 2013, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued revised accounting guidance on the reporting of reclassifications out of accumulated other comprehensive income. The amendment requires an entity to present, either on the face of the statement where net income is presented or in the notes, significant amounts reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income by the respective line items of net income if the amount is required to be reclassified to net income in its entirety in the same reporting period. For other amounts that are not required to be reclassified in their entirety to net income, an entity is required to cross-reference to other disclosures that provide additional detail about those amounts. This guidance is effective prospectively for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2012, which for the Company was the fiscal year beginning April 1, 2013. This guidance did not have a material impact on the Company.

2. Earnings Per Common Share

On February 29, 2008, the Company executed a five year $200,000 credit agreement with a consortium of bank lenders (Credit Facility) with an original expiration date in 2013. As a result of the first through fifth amendments, which were executed in fiscal 2011 through fiscal 2013, the following current provisions are in place for the Credit Facility. The expiration date is August 2016. The Credit Facility contains an election to increase the facility by up to an additional $100,000, subject to agreement by one or more lenders to increase its commitment. The consolidated leverage ratio permitted is 4.50 to 1.00 for December 31, 2012 through March 31, 2013 with scheduled step downs to 3.50 to 1.00 in future periods, and the consolidated interest coverage ratio is not to be less than 4.00 to 1.00.

The Credit Facility may be used for working capital, capital expenditures and other corporate purposes. Loans under the U.S. Revolving Credit Facility and Term Loan Facility bear interest either at: (i) base rate (as defined in the credit agreement) plus the applicable margin for such loans which ranges from 1.00% to 2.50%; or (ii) the applicable London interbank offered rate, plus the applicable margin for such loans which ranges from 2.00% to 3.50% based on the Company’s leverage ratio at the time of the borrowing. Loans under the Australian Sub-Facility bear interest at the BBSY Rate plus the applicable margin for such loans, which ranges from 2.00% to 3.50% based on the Company’s leverage ratio at the time of the borrowing.

At June 30, 2013, the aggregate commitment amount of $475,250 under the Credit Facility is comprised of the following: (i) a $130,000 revolving Credit Facility that allows the Company to borrow in alternative currencies up to the equivalent of $50,000 (U.S. Revolving Credit Facility); (ii) the Australian dollar equivalent of a $40,000 revolving Credit Facility (Australian Sub-Facility); and (iii) a $305,250 term loan facility (Term Loan Facility) which amortizes quarterly based on an escalating percentage of the initial aggregate value of the Term Loan Facility. The Term Loan Facility amortizes quarterly based on the following schedule: (i) June 30, 2013 through December 31, 2013—amortization of $4,125, (ii) March 31, 2014 through December 31, 2015—amortization of $8,250 and (iii) March 31, 2016 through June 30, 2016—amortization of $12,375, with the balance due at maturity.

The Company incurred $8,562 of debt issuance costs in fiscal 2012 related to the debt modification, which are being deferred and amortized over the life of the amended Credit Facility. In conjunction with the modification to our debt in the third amendment to the Credit Facility, we analyzed the new loan costs related to the amended Credit Facility and the existing unamortized loan costs related to the prior agreement allocated to the revolving line of credit, prior term loan and amended term loan separately to determine the amount of costs to be capitalized and the amount to be expensed. As a result of the analysis, the Company recorded a charge to interest expense of $490 in fiscal 2012 to write-off certain deferred financing fees, which were paid to originate the prior agreement, including the unamortized portion of the loan costs allocated to creditors no longer participating in the amended Credit Facility. The unamortized portion of loan costs allocated to creditors participating in both the original and amended Credit Facility are being amortized over the term of the modified agreement.

The Company recorded $495 in interest expense for the three months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012 in the condensed consolidated statements of income to amortize deferred financing costs.

Available borrowings under the Credit Facility at June 30, 2013 consisted of $74,800 under the U.S. Revolving Credit Facility and $5,816 under the Australian Sub-Facility. The Company also has various other uncommitted lines of credit available at June 30, 2013 in the amount of $8,748.

The Credit Facility contains customary representations and warranties as well as customary negative and affirmative covenants which require the Company to maintain the following financial covenants at June 30, 2013: (i) a minimum consolidated net worth; (ii) a maximum consolidated leverage ratio of 4.25 to 1.00 and (iii) a minimum consolidated interest charge coverage ratio of 4.00 to 1.00. The Credit Facility contains customary mandatory and optional prepayment provisions, customary events of default, and is secured by the capital stock of subsidiaries, intercompany debt and all of the Company’s property and assets, but excluding real property. The Company is in compliance with all covenants under the Credit Facility as of June 30, 2013.

Capital Leases

The present value of the net minimum payments on the capitalized leases is as follows:


	June 30, 2013			March 31, 2013
Total minimum lease payments	$	2,268		$	2,858
Less amount representing interest		(83	)		(111	)

Present value of net minimum lease payments		2,185			2,747
Current portion		(1,396	)		(1,693	)

Capitalized lease obligations, less current portion	$	789		$	1,054

The capitalized leases carry interest rates from 2% to 9% and mature from fiscal 2014 to fiscal 2016.

5. Major Customers

During the three months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, sales to major customers (those exceeding 10% of the Company’s net revenues in one or more of the periods presented) approximated 15% and 13%, respectively, of the Company’s consolidated net revenues. All of these sales were made to the Procter & Gamble Company.

In addition, accounts receivable balances from the Procter & Gamble Company approximated 5% of the Company’s total accounts receivable balance at June 30, 2013 and March 31, 2013. The loss or substantial reduction of the business of this major customer could have a material adverse impact on the Company’s results of operations and cash flows.

6. Income Taxes

The Company files income tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction, various foreign jurisdictions and various state and local jurisdictions where the statutes of limitations generally range from three to five years. At June 30, 2013, the Company is no longer subject to U.S. federal examinations by tax authorities for years before fiscal 2009. The Company is no longer subject to state and local examinations by tax authorities for years before fiscal 2008. In foreign jurisdictions, the Company is no longer subject to examinations by tax authorities for years before fiscal 1999.

The benefits of tax positions are not recorded unless it is more likely than not the tax position would be sustained upon challenge by the appropriate tax authorities. Tax benefits that are more likely than not to be sustained are measured at the largest amount of benefit that is cumulatively greater than a 50% likelihood of being realized.

As of June 30, 2013 and March 31, 2013, the Company had liabilities of $3,415 and $3,411, respectively, recorded for unrecognized tax benefits for U.S. federal, state and foreign tax jurisdictions. During the three months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, the Company recognized $76 and $(20), respectively, of interest and penalties in income tax expense in the condensed consolidated statements of income. The liability for the gross amount of interest and penalties at June 30, 2013 and March 31, 2013, was $1,644 and $1,568, respectively. The liability for unrecognized tax benefits is classified in other noncurrent liabilities on the condensed consolidated balance sheets for the portion of the liability where payment of cash is not anticipated within one year of the balance sheet date. During the three months ended June 30, 2013, the Company did not release any reserves, including interest and penalties, related to uncertain tax positions that have been settled. The Company believes it is reasonably possible that approximately $229 of unrecognized tax benefits as of June 30, 2013 will decrease within the next 12 months due to the lapse of statute of limitations and settlements of certain foreign income tax matters. The liability for these unrecognized tax benefits is classified in accrued expenses and other liabilities on the condensed consolidated balance sheets. The unrecognized tax benefits that, if recognized, would favorably impact the effective tax rate are $3,415.

7. Financial Instruments

Historically, the Company has used interest rate swap agreements (Swaps) in order to manage its exposure to interest rate fluctuations under variable rate borrowings. Swaps involve the exchange of fixed and variable rate interest payments and do not represent an actual exchange of the underlying notional amounts between the two parties. The Swaps have been designated as cash flow hedges, with the effective portion of the gains and losses, net of tax, recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income.

In April 2008, the Company entered into two Swaps, a $40,000 non-amortizing Swap and a $40,000 amortizing Swap, to convert variable interest rates on a portion of outstanding debt to fixed interest rates. The Swaps expired in February 2013 and resulted in interest payments based on fixed rates of 3.45% for the non-amortizing Swap and 3.04% for the amortizing Swap, plus the applicable margin per the requirements in the Credit Facility ranging from 2.00% to 3.50% based on the Company’s leverage ratio.

In October 2011, in connection with the draw down of the $315,000 term loan for the acquisition of York Label Group, the Company entered into three forward starting non-amortizing Swaps for a total notional amount of $125,000 to convert variable rate debt for fixed rate debt. The Swaps became effective October 2012 and expire in August 2016. The Swaps result in interest payments based on an average fixed rate of 1.396% plus the applicable margin per the requirements in the Credit Facility.

The Swaps are designated as highly effective cash flow hedges, with the effective portion of gains and losses, net of tax, recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income and measured on an ongoing basis. At June 30, 2013 and March 31, 2013, the fair value of the Swaps was a net liability of $2,159 and $3,465, respectively, and was included in other long-term liabilities on the condensed consolidated balance sheets. See Note 10 for additional information on the fair value of the Swaps.

Foreign currency exchange risk arises from our international operations in Australia, Europe, South America, Canada, China and South Africa as well as from transactions with customers or suppliers denominated in foreign currencies. The functional currency of each of the Company’s subsidiaries is generally the currency of the country in which the subsidiary operates. At times, the Company uses forward currency contracts to manage the impact of fluctuations in currency exchange rates.

At June 30, 2013, the Company has entered into multiple foreign currency forward contracts to fix the purchase price in U.S. dollars of foreign currency denominated firm commitments to purchase presses and other equipment. The forward contracts are designated as fair value hedges and changes in the fair value of the contracts are recorded in other income and expense in the condensed consolidated statements of income in the same period during which the related item affects the condensed consolidated statements of income. The net fair value of the contracts is an asset of $20 and a liability of $73 at June 30, 2013 and March 31, 2013, respectively. See Note 10 for additional information on the fair value of the contracts.

During the three months ended June 30, 2013, the Company completed acquisitions in Australia and France for $7,495. In Adelaide, Australia, MCC acquired Labelmakers Wine Division. In the Champagne region of France, MCC acquired Imprimerie Champenoise, which increases our ability to support local champagne producers in the region. The results of operations of these acquired businesses have been included in the condensed consolidated financial statements since the date of acquisition and have been determined to be individually and collectively immaterial for further disclosure.

On October 3, 2011, the Company acquired York Label Group (York), including its joint venture in Santiago, Chile, for $329,204 plus net debt assumed of $9,870. York, which was headquartered in Omaha, Nebraska, is a leader in the home & personal care, food & beverage and wine & spirit label markets with manufacturing facilities in the U.S., Canada and Chile.

As part of the purchase price, the Company issued 2,664 shares of its common stock, valued at $46,684, to York with a restriction on sale or transfer within two years of the closing date. All shares are restricted from sale until the one year anniversary of the closing date of the transaction and 50% of the shares are restricted from sale from the one year anniversary date to the two year anniversary date of the closing of the transaction.

Of the purchase price, $21,309 was to be paid on April 1, 2012 and of this amount, $2,500 was required to be deposited into an escrow account to satisfy DLJ South American Partners, L.P. (“DLJ”)‘s indemnification obligations with respect to the transaction. On April 1, 2012, the Company paid DLJ $11,880 and deposited $2,500 into escrow in accordance with the Purchase Agreement. The balance due DLJ ($6,929) is subject to dispute as further described in Note 15 and was placed into a separate escrow account controlled by the Company.

On July 1, 2011, the Company acquired Warszawski Dom Handlowy (WDH), a consumer products and spirit label company located in Warsaw, Poland, for $7,760 plus net debt assumed of $4,019. The purchase price included a contingent payment to be made to the selling shareholders if certain financial targets were reached. The financial targets were reached in calendar year 2011 and the contingent payment and deferred payment were made in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2012. The Company had $382 and $390 in escrow at June 30, 2013 and March 31, 2013, respectively, which is deferred for three years after the closing date. Any change in escrow amounts would represent an offset to additional assumed liabilities with no change in the purchase price.

On May 2, 2011, the Company entered into agreements to buy 70% ownership in two label operations in Latin America; one in Santiago, Chile and the other in Mendoza, Argentina with a regional partner owning the remaining 30%. MCC’s investment including debt assumed was approximately $3,900. These companies focus on providing premium labels to the expanding Latin American wine & spirit markets. In September 2011, the Company bought the regional partner’s 30% ownership interest in the two label operations in Latin America for 40 shares of Multi-Color common stock. As a result, MCC now owns 100% of the label operations in Chile and Argentina.

10. Fair Value Measurements

Level 1—Quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities

Level 2—Observable inputs other than quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities

Level 3—Unobservable inputs

The determination of where an asset or liability falls in the hierarchy requires significant judgment.

Derivative Financial Instruments

The Company has entered into multiple foreign currency forward contracts to fix the purchase price in U.S. dollars of foreign currency denominated firm commitments to purchase presses and other equipment. The forward contracts are designated as fair value hedges and changes in the fair value of the contracts are recorded in other income and expense in the condensed consolidated statements of income in the same period during which the related item affects the condensed consolidated statements of income.

15. Commitments and Contingencies

Litigation

The Company is a party in a case styled DLJ South American Partners, L.P. (“DLJ”) v. Multi-Color Corporation, et al., Case No. C.A. No. 7417-CS which is pending in the Delaware Court of Chancery. In a complaint filed on April 13, 2012, DLJ alleges that the Company failed to make certain payments required by the Merger and Stock Purchase Agreement (the “Merger Agreement”) entered into by the Company with Adhesion Holdings, Inc., a Delaware corporation, DLJ, and Diamond Castle Partners IV, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership, (“Diamond Castle”), pursuant to which the Company acquired York Label Group. Ari J. Benacerraf and Simon T. Roberts, who are affiliated with Diamond Castle, are current members of the Company’s Board of Directors.

DLJ seeks the payment of $6,939 and interest, legal fees and other equitable relief that the Company is unable to reasonably estimate at this time. On May 18, 2012, the Company filed an answer, counterclaim and third party complaint asserting various causes of action against DLJ, Diamond Castle and affiliated entities arising out of their breaches of the Merger Agreement and other actions.

The Company is also subject to various legal claims and contingencies that arise out of the normal course of business, including claims related to commercial transactions, product liability, health and safety, taxes, environmental, employee-related matters and other matters. Litigation is subject to numerous uncertainties and the outcome of individual claims and contingencies is not predictable. It is possible that some legal matters for which reserves have not been established could result in an unfavorable outcome for the Company and any such unfavorable outcome could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.

Gross profit decreased 2% or $491 compared to the prior year quarter and gross profit as a percentage of net revenue decreased from 19% in the prior year quarter to 18% in the current quarter primarily due to unusually high costs related to press transfers and installations and charges for inventory write-offs.

Our effective tax rate increased from 33% in the three months ending June 30, 2012 to 37% in the three months ending June 30, 2013 due primarily to a shift in the geographical mix of forecasted worldwide earnings and a reduction to the tax benefit associated with certain permanent tax deductions in foreign jurisdictions during the current quarter. The Company expects its annual effective tax rate to be approximately 38% in fiscal year 2014.
