Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

(Unaudited)

(In thousands, except per share data)

Item 1.

Financial Statements (continued)

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 and personal care, wine & spirit, food and beverage 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 2011 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. Revenues are generally denominated in the currency of the country from which the product is shipped and are net of applicable returns and discounts.

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.

Accounts Receivable:

Our customers are primarily major consumer product, food, 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 and specific individual risks identified. Losses may also depend to some degree on current and future economic conditions. Although future conditions are unknown to us and may result in additional credit losses, we do not anticipate significant adverse credit circumstances in fiscal year 2012. If we are unable to collect all or part of the outstanding receivable balance, there could be a material impact on the Company’s operating results and cash flows.

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			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 annually, as of the last day of February of each fiscal year, for impairment by comparing the fair value of the reporting unit goodwill to its carrying amount. 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 the fair values.

Income Taxes:

Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are provided for temporary differences between the tax basis and reported basis of assets and liabilities that will result in taxable or deductible amounts in future years.

Derivative Financial Instruments:

The Company accounts for derivative financial instruments by recognizing derivative instruments as either assets or liabilities in the balance sheet at fair value and recognizing the resulting gains or losses as adjustments to earnings 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 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 interest rate 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 is determined to be ineffective, any changes in fair value would be recorded in the condensed consolidated income statement. See Note 7.

The Company manages foreign currency exchange rate risk by entering into forward currency contracts. The forward contracts have been designated as effective fair value hedges at inception and on an ongoing quarterly basis and therefore, any changes in fair value are recorded in earnings. See Note 7.

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 two interest rate 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 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 a forward contract to fix the U.S. dollar value of a press purchased in Euros and delivered to the Batavia, Ohio plant. The forward contract is designated as a fair value hedge. The Company adjusts the carrying value of this derivative to its estimated fair value and records the adjustment in earnings.

Fair value measurements of nonfinancial assets and nonfinancial liabilities are primarily used in goodwill and other intangible asset impairment analyses and in the valuation of assets held for sale. The Company tests goodwill annually for impairment, as of the last day of February of each fiscal year, by comparing the fair value of the reporting unit goodwill to its carrying amount. 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 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. See Note 11.

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, 2011 and 2010 was $250 and $1,279 respectively. The stock based compensation expense at June 30, 2010 included a charge for accelerated vesting of stock based compensation and restricted shares for certain executives no longer with the Company.

Subsequent Events:

The Company evaluated subsequent events through the date the financial statements were issued, and noted no material subsequent events had occurred other than the acquisition of Warszawski Dom Handlowy (WDH), effective July 1, 2011. See Note 16.

New Accounting Pronouncements:

In June 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued revised accounting guidance to modify the presentation requirements for comprehensive income. The amendment gives an entity the option to present the total of comprehensive income, the components of net income and the components of other comprehensive income either in a single continuous statement of comprehensive income or in two separate but consecutive statements. The amendment eliminates the option to present the components of other comprehensive income as part of the statement of changes in stockholders’ equity. This guidance is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2011, which for the Company is April 1, 2012. This guidance is not expected to have a material impact on the Company.

In May 2011, the FASB issued revised accounting guidance to develop common requirements for measuring fair value and for disclosing information about fair value measurements under U.S. GAAP and IFRS. The amendment does not require additional fair value measurements. This guidance is effective for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2011, which for the Company is January 1, 2012. This guidance is not expected to have a material impact on the Company.

In December 2010, the FASB issued revised accounting guidance to address diversity in practice about the interpretation of the pro forma revenue and earnings disclosure requirements for business combinations. The amendments specify that if a public entity presents comparative financial statements, the entity should disclose revenue and earnings of the combined entity as though the business combination that occurred during the current year had occurred as of the beginning of the comparable prior annual reporting period only. The amendment also expands the supplemental pro forma disclosures to include a description of the nature and amount of material, nonrecurring pro forma adjustments directly attributable to the business combination included in the reported pro forma revenue and earnings. This guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning on or after December 15, 2010, which for the Company is April 1, 2011. This guidance did not have a material impact on the Company.

In December 2010, the FASB issued revised accounting guidance to modify step one of the goodwill impairment test for entities that have recognized goodwill and have one or more reporting units whose carrying amount for purposes of performing step one of the goodwill impairment test is zero or negative. For those entities which have one or more reporting units, the entity is required to perform step two of the goodwill impairment test if it is more likely than not that a goodwill impairment exists. This guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2010, which for the Company is April 1, 2011. This guidance did not have an impact on the Company.

In April 2010, the FASB issued revised accounting guidance to address whether an employee stock option should be classified as a liability or as an equity instrument if the exercise price is denominated in the currency in which a substantial portion of the entity’s equity securities trades. That currency may differ from the entity’s functional currency and from the payroll currency of the employee receiving the option. This guidance is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning on or after December 15, 2010, which for the Company is April 1, 2011. This guidance did not have an impact on the Company.

2. Earnings Per Common Share

The computation of basic earnings per common share (EPS) is based upon the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted EPS is computed using the weighted average number of shares, and 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. The Company excluded 329 and 756 options to purchase shares in the three months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively, from the computation of diluted EPS because these shares would have an anti-dilutive effect.

The following is a reconciliation of the number of shares used in the basic EPS and diluted EPS computations (shares in thousands):


	Three Months Ended June 30,
	2011					2010
	Shares		Per Share Amount			Shares		Per Share Amount

On February 29, 2008 and in connection with the Collotype acquisition, 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. In June 2010, the Company amended the Credit Facility in conjunction with the acquisition of Guidotti CentroStampa (CentroStampa). The amendment extended the expiration date of the Credit Facility from February 28, 2013 to April 1, 2014, increased the aggregate U.S. revolving commitment by $20,000, allowed up to $40,000 of U.S. revolving loans to be advanced in alternative currencies, increased the maximum leverage ratio to 3.75 to 1.00 with scheduled step-downs, and implemented a change in interest rate margins over the applicable Eurocurrency or Australian Bank Bill Swap Rate (BBSY) ranging from 1.75% to 3.25% based on the leverage ratio. In March 2011, the Company executed the second amendment to the credit facility. The second amendment increased the alternate currency sublimit from $40,000 to $50,000. The Credit Facility contains an election to increase the facility by up to an additional $50,000. At June 30, 2011, the aggregate principal amount of $187,500 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 $17,500 term loan facility (Term Loan Facility), which amortizes $10,000 per year.

The Company incurred $1,682 of debt issuance costs related to the debt modification which are being deferred and amortized over the life of the amended Credit Facility. The Company recorded $180 in interest expense in the condensed consolidated statement of income to amortize deferred financing costs in the first quarter of fiscal year 2012.

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) the greater of (a) Bank of America’s prime rate in effect from time to time; and (b) the federal funds rate in effect from time to time plus 0.5%; or (ii) the applicable London interbank offered rate plus the applicable margin for such loans which ranges from 1.75% to 3.25% 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 1.75% to 3.25% based on the Company’s leverage ratio at the time of the borrowing.

Available borrowings under the Credit Facility at June 30, 2011 consisted of $22,298 under the U.S. Revolving Credit Facility and $34,961 under the Australian Sub-Facility.

The Credit Facility contains customary representations and warranties as well as customary negative and affirmative covenants which requires the Company to maintain the following financial covenants: (i) a minimum consolidated net worth; (ii) a maximum consolidated leverage ratio of 3.75 to 1.00, stepping down to 3.25 to 1.00 from September 30, 2011 to March 31, 2012 and stepping down again to 3.00 to 1.00 at June 30, 2012 for each fiscal quarter thereafter; 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, 2011.

Capital Leases

With the acquisitions of CentroStampa, Monroe Etiquette, La Cromografica and Collotype Chile, the Company assumed capital leases related to machinery and equipment.

The present value of the net minimum payments on capitalized leases as of June 30, 2011 is as follows:


	June 30, 2011
Total minimum lease payments	$	7,601
Less amount representing interest		(449	)

Present value of net minimum lease payments		7,152
Current portion		(2,511	)

Capitalized lease obligations, less current portion	$	4,641

5. Major Customers

During the three months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, sales to major customers (those exceeding 10% of the Company’s net revenues in one or more of the periods presented) approximated 13% and 19%, 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 2% and 1% of the Company’s total accounts receivable balance at June 30, 2011 and March 31, 2011, respectively. 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, 2011, the Company is no longer subject to U.S. federal examinations by tax authorities for years before fiscal year 2008. The Company is no longer subject to state and local examinations by tax authorities for years before fiscal year 2006. In foreign jurisdictions, the Company is no longer subject to examinations by tax authorities for years before fiscal year 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, 2011 and March 31, 2011, the Company had liabilities of $3,893 and $3,986 respectively, recorded for unrecognized tax benefits for U.S. federal, state and foreign tax jurisdictions. The gross amount of interest and penalties associated with the liability at June 30, 2011 and March 31, 2011, respectively, was $1,830 and $1,883. The liability for unrecognized tax benefits is classified in other noncurrent liabilities on the condensed consolidated balance sheet for the portion of the liability where payment of cash is not anticipated within one year

of the balance sheet date. The Company believes it is reasonably possible that approximately $1,103 of unrecognized tax benefits as of June 30, 2011 will decrease within the next 12 months due to the lapse of statute of limitations and settlements of certain state income tax matters, and the liability for these unrecognized tax benefits is classified in accrued expenses and other liabilities on the condensed consolidated balance sheet. The total amount of unrecognized tax benefits that, if recognized, would favorably impact the effective tax rate is $3,893.

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 expire in 2013 and result 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 1.75% to 3.25% based on the Company’s leverage ratio. The fixed interest rates at June 30, 2011 were 5.20% and 4.79% on the non-amortizing and amortizing Swaps, respectively. The notional balance of the amortizing Swap was $14,000 and $16,000 at June 30, 2011 and March 31, 2011, respectively.

The Swaps were 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, 2011 and March 31, 2011, the fair value of the Swaps was a net liability of $2,317 and $2,418, respectively, and was included in other liabilities on the condensed consolidated balance sheet.

Foreign currency exchange risk arises from our international operations in Australia, South Africa, Europe, China and South America as well as from transactions with customers or suppliers denominated in foreign currencies. The functional currency of each of the Company’s subsidiaries is 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.

In June 2010, the Company entered into two forward currency contracts to fix the U.S. dollar value of a press to be purchased in Euros in two installments due September 2010 and September 2011. The press was delivered in September 2010 to the Batavia, Ohio plant and the first forward contract was settled. The forward contracts are designated as fair value hedges and changes in the fair value of the contracts are recorded in earnings. The fair value of the remaining contract is $19 and $113 at June 30, 2011 and March 31, 2011, respectively.

On July 1, 2010, the Company entered into a Euro 32,000 revolving loan that is designated under hedge accounting as a non-derivative economic hedge of the net investment in foreign operations. Gains and losses on the effective portions of non-derivatives designated under net investment hedge accounting are recognized in accumulated other comprehensive income to offset the change in the value of the net investment being hedged. The balance in equity is recognized in the profit and loss account when the related foreign subsidiary is disposed. The gains and losses on de-designated loans are recognized immediately in the profit and loss account. During the three months ended June 30, 2011, the Company had recognized $918 of exchange on the revolving loan that hedged the net investment in foreign operations.

The results of La Cromografica’s operations have been included in the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements beginning April 1, 2011.

The preliminary purchase price of $9,880 was paid by the end of June 2011 and funded through borrowings under the credit facility (see Note 4 for details of the credit facility). Assumed net debt included $2,083 of bank debt and capital leases less $455 of cash acquired. The Company spent a total of $39 in acquisition expenses related to the La Cromografica acquisition.

The purchase price for Monroe Etiquette consisted of the following:


Cash from proceeds of borrowings	$	8,984
Deferred payment		912

	$	9,896

The cash portion of the purchase price was funded through $8,984 of borrowings under the credit facility (see Note 4 for details of the credit facility). Assumed net debt included $1,293 of bank debt and capital leases less $787 of cash acquired. The seller received approximately 89% of the proceeds in the form of cash on October 1, 2010. The remaining 11% of the purchase price will be paid in cash, but is deferred for five years after the closing date. The Company spent a total of $63 in acquisition expenses related to the Monroe acquisition.

Guidotti CentroStampa Summary

On July 1, 2010, the Company acquired 100% of Guidotti CentroStampa (CentroStampa) a leading European wine & spirit and olive oil label specialist based in Tuscany, Italy. The acquisition expanded MCC’s global presence in the wine & spirit label market and provided an entry into the olive oil label market. The results of CentroStampa’s operations were included in the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements beginning July 1, 2010.

The purchase price for CentroStampa consisted of the following:


Cash from proceeds of borrowings	$	41,004
MCC common stock (934,567 shares issued)		7,928
Contingent consideration		9,267

	$	58,199

The Company issued 934,567 shares of its common stock to CentroStampa equity holders with a restriction on sale or transfer within one year of the closing date. The value of this stock was determined based on the estimated fair value. The Company used the closing market price on July 1, 2010 to determine the estimated fair market value. The stock value was then reduced by 17.6% to reflect the estimated fair value of the discount for the one-year sale restriction as determined by an independent valuation.

The cash portion of the purchase price was funded through $41,004 of borrowings under the amended credit facility. See Note 4 for details of the credit facility amendment in conjunction with the acquisition of CentroStampa. Assumed net debt included $4,368 of bank debt and capital leases less $6,109 of cash acquired. The Company spent a total of $912 in acquisition expenses related to the CentroStampa acquisition.

The selling shareholders have agreed to indemnify MCC with respect to the acquisition, including certain losses arising out of a breach of their warranties or covenants under the acquisition agreement (Agreement). The Agreement provides that 5% of the purchase price is subject to achieving certain financial targets and subject to certain quantitative measures. During the third quarter ended December 31, 2010, we adjusted the fair value of the contingent consideration related to the acquisition. The adjustment was based on information obtained during the third quarter relating to conditions that existed at the acquisition date. As a result, we treated this as a purchase price adjustment as of the acquisition date. On December 31, 2010, certain financial targets subject to certain quantitative measures required to realize the contingent payment were satisfied in full and the entire liability will be paid in July 2011.

An additional 10% is held in escrow for up to five years to fund certain potential indemnification obligations of the selling shareholders. The Company had $7,515 and $7,322 at June 30, 2011 and March 31, 2011, respectively, in this escrow account. The escrow will be

released from the first to the fifth anniversary of the date of closing in the amount of 2% of the purchase price per year in accordance with the provisions of the escrow agreement.

The results of Collotype’s operations were included in the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements beginning March 1, 2008.

The Company had $824 and $783 in an escrow account at June 30, 2011 and March 31, 2011 respectively, pending resolution of various contingencies primarily related to income taxes for pre-acquisition activities of Collotype. Any change in escrow amounts would represent an offset to additional assumed liabilities with no change in the purchase price.

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 two interest rate 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 (see Note 7). 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 two foreign currency forward contracts to fix the U.S. dollar value of a press purchased in Euros for the Batavia, Ohio plant (see Note 7). The Company adjusts the carrying value of the derivative to the estimated fair value and records the adjustment in earnings.

At June 30, 2011, the Company carried the following financial assets and liabilities at fair value:


				Fair Value Measurement Using
	Fair Value at June 30, 2011			Quoted Prices in Active Markets for Identical Assets (Level 1)		Significant Other Observable Inputs (Level 2)		Significant Unobservable Inputs (Level 3)
Interest rate swaps	$	(2,317	)		—	$	(2,317)		—
Foreign currency forward contract	$	19			—	$	19		—

At March 31, 2011, the Company carried the following financial assets and liabilities at fair value:


				Fair Value Measurement Using
	Fair Value at March 31, 2011			Quoted Prices in Active Markets for Identical Assets (Level 1)		Significant Other Observable Inputs (Level 2)			Significant Unobservable Inputs (Level 3)
Interest rate swaps	$	(2,418	)		—	$	(2,418	)		—
Foreign currency forward contract	$	113			—	$	113			—

The Company values interest rate swaps using proprietary pricing models based on well recognized financial principles and available market data. The Company values foreign currency forward contracts by using spot rates at the date of valuation.

Debt denominated in foreign currencies is designated to hedge exposures to currency exchange rate movement on our investment in foreign operations.

Fair value measurements of nonfinancial assets and nonfinancial liabilities are primarily used in goodwill and other intangible asset impairment analyses 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, by comparing the fair value of the reporting unit goodwill to its carrying amount. Impairment is also tested when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the assets’ carrying values may be greater than the fair values. In fiscal years 2011 and 2010, the Company did not adjust goodwill or intangible assets to their fair values on a nonrecurring basis. Goodwill and intangible assets are valued using level 3 inputs.

As part of the Guidotti CentroStampa and Monroe Etiquette acquisitions, the Company acquired presses that were appraised and adjusted to their fair value as part of the purchase price accounting. The carrying value of cash and equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable and debt approximate fair value.

Litigation

The Company is 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.

WDH supplies a number of large consumer products international owners in home and personal care markets, consistent with MCC’s larger customers in the U.S. This acquisition is consistent with MCC’s strategy to support international brand owners in additional markets. WDH had revenues of approximately $11,000 in 2010. On July 1, 2011, pursuant to the Agreement, MCC acquired 100% of the shares of WDH for $9,300, less net debt (Purchase Price).

The preparation of condensed consolidated financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue and expenses. We continually evaluate our estimates, including, but not limited to, those related to revenue recognition, bad debts, inventories and any related reserves, income taxes, fixed assets, goodwill and intangible assets. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions believed to be reasonable under the facts and circumstances. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.

We believe the following critical accounting policies impact the more significant judgments and estimates used in the preparation of our condensed consolidated financial statements. Additionally, our senior management has reviewed the critical accounting policies and estimates with the Board of Directors’ Audit and Finance Committee. For a more detailed discussion of the application of these and other accounting policies, refer to Note 2 of the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended March 31, 2011.

Revenue Recognition

Accounts Receivable

Our customers are primarily major consumer product, food, 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 and specific individual risks identified. Losses may also depend to some degree on current and future economic conditions. Although these conditions are unknown to us and may result in additional credit losses, we do not anticipate significant adverse credit circumstances in fiscal year 2012. If we are unable to collect all or part of the outstanding receivable balance, there could be a material impact on the Company’s operating results and cash flows.

The accounts receivable balances in Australia, South Africa, Europe, China and South America are subject to foreign exchange rate fluctuations which can cause the balance to change significantly with an offset to other comprehensive earnings.

Inventories

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, by comparing the fair value of the reporting unit goodwill to its carrying amount. 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 the fair values.

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

We review long-lived assets for impairment whenever 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 the market condition and/or losses of a production line could have a material impact on the condensed consolidated statements of income.

Income Taxes

Income taxes are recorded based on the current year amounts payable or refundable, as well as the consequences of events that give rise to deferred tax assets and liabilities. Deferred tax assets and liabilities result from temporary differences between the tax basis and reported book basis of assets and liabilities and result in taxable or deductible amounts in future years. Our accounting for deferred taxes involves certain estimates and assumptions that we believe are appropriate. Future changes in regulatory tax laws and/or different positions held by taxing authorities may affect the amounts recorded for income taxes.

Derivative Financial Instruments

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

The Company manages foreign currency exchange rate risk 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 earnings. See Note 7.

Executive Overview

We are a leader in global label solutions supporting a number of the world’s most prominent brands including leading producers of home and personal care, wine & spirit, food and beverage and specialty consumer products. MCC serves national and international brand owners in North, Central and South America, Europe, Australia, New Zealand, South Africa, China and South America with a comprehensive range of the latest label technologies in Pressure Sensitive, Cut and Stack, In-Mold, Shrink Sleeve and Heat Transfer.

On April 1, 2011, the Company acquired all issued capital shares of La Cromografica, an Italian wine label specialist located in Florence, Italy, for a purchase price of approximately $9,880 payable in cash less net debt assumed. La Cromografica is located in Florence, Italy and specializes in high quality wine labels for premium Italian wines.

On October 1, 2010, MCC acquired 100% of the shares of Monroe Etiquette for $8,984, less net debt assumed (the Purchase Price). The selling shareholder received approximately 89% of the proceeds in the form of cash on October 1, 2010. The remaining 11% of the Purchase Price will be paid in cash, but is deferred for five years after the closing date. The selling shareholders have agreed to indemnify MCC with respect to the acquisition, including certain losses arising out of a breach of their warranties or covenants under the agreement.

On June 28, 2010, the Company entered into a stock purchase agreement to acquire Guidotti CentroStampa S.p.A. (CentroStampa). On July 1, 2010, pursuant to the stock purchase agreement, the Company acquired 100% of the shares of CentroStampa for $48,932 less net debt assumed. The selling shareholders received approximately 80% of the proceeds in the form of cash and 20% in the form of 934,567 shares of MCC common stock. This stock represented approximately 8% of MCC’s shares outstanding immediately prior to consummation of the acquisition.

On June 28, 2010, the Company entered into an amendment (the First Amendment) to the Company’s Credit Agreement dated as of February 29, 2008 (Credit Agreement) with the lenders thereunder, effective simultaneously with the closing of the acquisition of CentroStampa.

The First Amendment amended the Credit Agreement to (i) permit the acquisition of CentroStampa by the Company; (ii) increase the Aggregate U.S. Revolving Commitment (as defined in the First Amendment) by $20,000 thereby increasing the total borrowing capacity from $180,000 to $200,000, with the potential to increase total borrowing capacity by $50,000; (iii) allow up to $40,000 of U.S. revolving loans to be advanced in alternative currencies; (iv) extend the maturity date of the Credit Facilities (as defined in the Credit Agreement) to April 1, 2014; (v) increase the maximum leverage ratio to 3.75 to 1.00 with scheduled step-downs; and (vi) implement a change in interest rate margins over the applicable Eurocurrency or Australian BBSY rate ranging from 1.75% to 3.25% based on the leverage ratio. The Company incurred

$1,682 of debt issuance costs related to the debt modification which are being deferred and amortized over the life of the amended Credit Facility.

Net revenues increased 29% or $21,750 in the three months ending June 30, 2011 due to acquisitions and start-ups that occurred after June 30, 2010. In addition, net revenues increased due to a 5% favorable foreign exchange rate, primarily driven by the strengthening of the Australian dollar, a 1% increase in sales volumes and a 1% favorable pricing impact.


	2011		% of Revenues			2010		% of Revenues			$ Change		% Change
Cost of Revenues	$	78,440		78	%	$	59,158		80	%	$	19,282		33	%

Gross profit increased 48% or $7,207 primarily due to acquisitions and start-ups that occurred after June 30, 2010. Acquisitions and start-ups contributed 30% to the gross profit increase. The remaining 18% increase was due to higher sales volumes, favorable pricing impact, the impact of foreign exchange rates and improved operating efficiencies.

Selling, general and administrative (SG&A) expenses decreased $361 or 4% compared to the prior year due primarily to reductions in head count and other cost decreases partially offset by new acquisitions and the impact of foreign exchange rates. The amount of SG&A expenses in the three months ended June 30, 2011, attributable to acquisitions and start-ups occurring after June 30, 2010 were $1,906. The three months ended June 30, 2010 include $1,271 in severance and accelerated stock compensation charges and $535 in acquisition related expenses.

Our effective tax rate decreased from 31% in the first quarter of fiscal year 2011 to 29% in the first quarter of fiscal year 2012 due primarily to income mix in foreign and domestic jurisdictions and the impact of a new tax structure related to the European operations. Our expected tax rate for fiscal year 2012 is 28%.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Through the three months ended June 30, 2011, net cash provided by operating activities was $9,289 compared to $5,709 in the same period of the prior year. The increase in cash flow is primarily due to cash generated from earnings and the impact of acquisitions since June 30, 2010. The consolidated days sales outstanding (DSO) at June 30, 2011 is approximately 57 days.

Through the three months ended June 30, 2011, net cash used in investing activities was $13,990 as compared to net cash used of $4,552 in the same period of the prior year. The increase in net cash used in investing activities is primarily due to the acquisitions of La Cromografica and the 70% ownership of the two label operations in Chile and Argentina. Capital expenditures in the three months ended June 30, 2011 were $4,856 and were partially offset by proceeds from the sale of plant and equipment of $2,205. The majority of these capital expenditures were made to purchase a building in South Africa. Cash used in investing activities in the prior year included capital expenditures of $4,354. The projected amount of capital expenditures for fiscal year 2012 is $19,185

Through the three months ended June 30, 2011, net cash provided by financing activities was $7,755 as compared to net cash used in financing activities of $3,377 in the prior year. During the three months ended June 30, 2011, we had net debt additions of $8,261 compared to net debt payments of $2,527 in the prior year. The increase in net debt was due to an increase in borrowings to finance the acquisitions of La Cromografica and the 70% ownership of the two label operations in Chile and Argentina.

On February 29, 2008 and in connection with the Collotype acquisition, 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. In June, 2010, the Company amended the credit facility in conjunction with the acquisition of CentroStampa. The amendment extended the expiration date of the credit facility from February 28, 2013 to April 1, 2014, increased the aggregate U.S. revolving commitment by $20,000, allowed up to $40,000 of U.S. revolving loans to be advanced in alternative currencies, increased the maximum leverage ratio to 3.75 to 1.00 with scheduled step-downs, and implemented a change in interest rate margins over the applicable Eurocurrency or Australian Bank Bill Swap Bid Rate (BBSY) ranging from 1.75% to 3.25% based on the leverage ratio. In March 2011, the Company executed the second amendment to the credit facility. The second amendment increased the alternate currency sublimit from $40,000 to $50,000. The Credit Facility contains an election to increase the facility by up to an additional $50,000. The Company incurred $1,682 of debt issuance costs related to the debt modification which are being deferred and amortized over the life of the amended Credit Facility. At June 30, 2011, the aggregate principal amount of $187,500 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 $17,500 term loan facility (Term Loan Facility), which amortizes $10,000 per year.

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 at either: (i) the greater of (a) Bank of America’s prime rate in effect from time to time; and (b) the federal funds rate in effect from time to time plus 0.5%; or (ii) the applicable London interbank offered rate plus the applicable margin for such loans which ranges from 1.75% to 3.25% 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 1.75% to 3.25% based on Multi-Color’s leverage ratio at the time of the borrowing.

Available borrowings under the Credit Facility at June 30, 2011 consisted of $22,298 under the U.S. Revolving Credit Facility and $34,961 under the Australian Sub-Facility.

The Credit Facility contains customary representations and warranties as well as customary negative and affirmative covenants. The Credit Facility requires MCC to maintain the following financial covenants: (i) a minimum consolidated net worth; (ii) a maximum consolidated leverage ratio of 3.75 to 1.00, stepping down to 3.25 to 1.00 from September 30, 2011 to March 31, 2012 and stepping down again to 3.00 to 1.00 at June 30, 2012 for each fiscal quarter thereafter; 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 certain subsidiaries, intercompany debt and the Company’s property and assets, but excluding real property.

We believe that we have both sufficient short and long-term liquidity and financing. We had a working capital position of $39,014 and $30,357 at June 30, 2011 and March 31, 2011, respectively and were in compliance with our loan covenants and current in our principal and interest payments on all debt.
