NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
NOTE 1BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included herein have been prepared by X-Rite, Incorporated
(X-Rite or the Company), pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S.
generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations, although 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 consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Companys 2010 Annual Report on Form 10-K.
In the opinion of management, all adjustments considered necessary for fair presentation have been included in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements. All such adjustments
were of a normal and recurring nature. The balance sheet at January 1, 2011 (fiscal year 2010) has been derived from the audited consolidated financial statements at that date but does not include all of the information and footnotes required
by U.S. generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. Certain prior year information has been reclassified to conform with current year presentation.
The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of X-Rite, Incorporated and its Subsidiaries. The Company has one operating segment as defined by ASC 280,
Segment Reporting
(ASC 280). As a result, the financial statement information provided has been presented to reflect one reportable segment, consisting of the Companys consolidated results. All inter-company accounts and transactions have been eliminated. The
Company reports its operations and cash flows on a 52-53 week basis ending on the Saturday closest to December 31. Both the current fiscal year ending December 31, 2011 (fiscal year 2011) and the prior fiscal year ending January 1,
2011 (fiscal year 2010) contain 52 weeks.
NOTE 2NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARDS
In January 2010, the FASB issued ASU No. 2010-06
Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (Topic 820): Improving Disclosures
about Fair Value Measurements
. This standard requires disclosure on the amount and reason for transfers in and out of Level 1 and 2 fair value measurements. The standard also requires disclosure of activities, including purchases, sales,
issuances, and settlements within the Level 3 fair value measurement. The standard also clarifies existing disclosure requirements on levels of disaggregation and disclosures about inputs and valuation techniques. We adopted the disclosure
requirements of this standard on January 3, 2010, except for the disclosures about purchases, sales, issuances and settlements in the Level 3 reconciliation, which were adopted January 2, 2011. The adoption of the required disclosures
did not have an impact on our financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.
In April 2010, the FASB issued ASU No. 2010-17,
Revenue Recognition Milestone Method (Topic 605): Milestone Method of Revenue Recognition.
The ASU provides guidance on defining a milestone and determining when it may be appropriate to apply the milestone method of revenue
recognition for research or development transactions. Consideration that is contingent on achievement of a milestone in its entirety may be recognized as revenue in the period in which the milestone is achieved only if the milestone is judged to
meet certain criteria to be considered substantive. Milestones are considered substantive in their entirety and may not be bifurcated. An arrangement may contain both substantive and nonsubstantive milestones, and each milestone should be evaluated
individually to determine if it is substantive. The ASU is effective on a prospective basis for milestones achieved in fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning on or after June 15, 2010 (fiscal 2011 for the Company). The
adoption of this new guidance in the first quarter of 2011 did not impact our financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.
In
May 2011, the FASB issued ASU No. 2011-04,
Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Amendments to Achieve Common Fair Value Measurement and Disclosure Requirements in U.S. GAAP and IFRSs
. This ASU represents the converged guidance of the
Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) and the International Accounting Standards Board on fair value measurement. The guidance clarifies how a principal market is determined, addresses the fair value measurement of instruments with offsetting
market or counterparty credit risks, addresses the concept of valuation premise and highest and best use, extends the prohibition on blockage factors to all three levels of the fair value hierarchy and requires additional disclosures. ASU
No. 2011-04 is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2011 (the first quarter of fiscal 2012 for the Company) and is applied prospectively. This standard impacts disclosure only and therefore adoption will
not have an impact on our financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.

NOTE 2NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARDS - continued
In June 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-05,
Comprehensive Income (Topic 220): Presentation of
Comprehensive Income
and amended its guidance on the presentation of comprehensive income in financial statements to improve the comparability, consistency and transparency of financial reporting and to increase the prominence of items that are
recorded in other comprehensive income. The new accounting guidance requires entities to report components of comprehensive income in either (1) a continuous statement of comprehensive income or (2) two separate but consecutive statements.
The provisions of this new guidance must be applied retrospectively and are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2011 (the first quarter of fiscal 2012 for the Company). This standard
impacts presentation and disclosure only and therefore adoption will not have an impact on our financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.
In September 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-08,
Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Testing Goodwill for Impairment
and amended its guidance on the annual testing of goodwill for impairment. The
amended guidance will allow companies to assess qualitative factors to determine if it is more-likely-than-not that goodwill might be impaired and whether it is necessary to perform the two-step goodwill impairment test required under current
accounting standards. The amendments are effective for annual and interim goodwill impairment test performed for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2011 (the first quarter of fiscal 2012 for the Company) and early adoption is permitted.
The Company will early adopt this new guidance and is currently evaluating the impact on our consolidated financial statements.

Senior Secured Credit Agreement
On March 30, 2011, the Company entered into a new senior secured credit agreement (the 2011 credit agreement) which provides for aggregate principal borrowings of up to $225 million. This credit
agreement repaid in full and replaced the Companys previous credit facilities and funded the redemption of all outstanding Series A Preferred Stock (mandatorily redeemable preferred stock or MRPS). The 2011 credit agreement consists of a $170
million term loan and an available $55 million revolving credit facility, which both mature on March 30, 2016. Obligations under the 2011 credit agreement are secured by essentially all of the tangible and identifiable intangible assets of the
Company, with the exception of real estate. The 2011 credit agreement provides variable interest rate options from which the Company may select, as described below, and the unused portion of the revolving credit facility is subject to a fee of 0.5
percent per annum. The 2011 credit agreement contains operational and financial covenants that, in addition to obligating the Company to deliver financial reports and maintain certain financial ratios, limits the Companys ability to create
liens, incur indebtedness, make fundamental changes involving the Company and its subsidiaries, make investments or acquisitions, and make certain capital expenditures, among other things. As of October 1, 2011, the Company was in compliance
with the covenants contained in its 2011 credit agreement.
In the first quarter of 2011, the Company recorded a loss on redemption of
preferred shares and debt refinancing costs of $13.8 million. These charges consisted primarily of a $9.8 million unamortized discount related to the MRPS, an early redemption fee of $2.3 million related to the MRPS, fees to creditors and third
parties of $1.0 million, and unamortized deferred financing costs associated with the MRPS of $0.7 million.

NOTE 5LONG-TERM DEBT - continued
Outstanding borrowings under the 2011 credit agreement bear interest at a rate per annum equal to LIBOR
or Prime interest rate, plus a 3.25 and 2.25 percent margin, respectively (subject to adjustments based on the Companys consolidated leverage ratio), payable in arrears on the last day of the applicable interest period but in no event less
frequently than every three months. As of October 1, 2011, the weighted average interest rate in effect under the terms of the 2011 credit agreement was 3.94 percent. The Company holds interest rate swaps to limit a portion of its LIBOR
exposure (see Note 7 for further discussion).
Prior to entering the 2011 credit agreement, the Companys previous secured credit
facilities consisted of a $310 million first lien loan, which included a $270 million five-year term loan and a $40 million five-year revolving credit facility. These credit facilities were repaid in full in connection with the refinancing described
above.
Under the previous credit agreement, the Company had the option to choose LIBOR or Prime interest rate indices. The LIBOR index was
based on the three month LIBOR (subject to a floor of 3.0 percent) plus a 3.5 percent margin and the Prime index was based on the Prime Rate plus a 2.5 percent margin during the quarter. Prior to entering into the 2011 credit agreement, the Company
had designated its borrowings under the Prime interest rate, with an effective interest rate of 5.75 percent. Interest payments on the Prime Rate based borrowings were paid in full at the time the loan was repaid.
The Companys estimate of fair value for debt approximates its carrying amount as of October 1, 2011.
Subsequent to the quarter ended October 1, 2011, the Company made voluntary payments of $1.4 million against its senior secured borrowings.
Deferred Financing Costs
In connection with the 2011 credit agreement, the Company has $6.2 million of deferred financing costs, consisting of $2.3 million of current fees to creditors and third parties and $3.9 million of
unamortized deferred financing costs associated with the previous credit facility. These costs are being amortized over the life of the related agreement.
NOTE 6MANDATORILY REDEEMABLE PREFERRED STOCK AND WARRANTS
On March 30, 2011, the Company redeemed all of the issued and outstanding mandatorily redeemable preferred stock in connection
with the entry into its 2011 credit agreement, as described in Note 5. The Companys mandatorily redeemable preferred stock had a stated value of $1,000 per share. At January 1, 2011, of the Companys 5.0 million, $0.10 par value
preferred shares, 84,729 were authorized as MRPS of which 46,980 were issued and outstanding. The MRPS is presented net of the warrant discount of $10.6 million in the Companys consolidated balance sheet as of January 1, 2011. The
preferred stock ranked senior to the Companys common stock in respect of payment of dividends and the distribution of assets upon liquidation of the Company. Dividends could be paid in cash or paid in kind (PIK) in additional shares of
preferred stock, at the discretion of the Board of Directors.
The MRPS entitled the holders to dividends at a fixed annual rate of 14.375
percent compounded quarterly and was mandatorily redeemable on January 23, 2014. Upon redemption on March 30, 2011, the preferred stock holders received the stated value of $1,000 per share plus all accrued dividends. According to the
terms of the agreement with such holders, the early redemption of the MRPS was subject to an early redemption multiplier fee of 5.0 percent. This fee was $2.3 million and is included in the loss on redemption of preferred shares and debt refinancing
costs.
At the time of issuance of the MRPS the Company issued freestanding warrants to acquire 7.5 million shares of the Companys
common stock (the Warrants) at an exercise price of $0.01 per share. The Warrants required shareholder approval prior to exercise, and shareholder approval was obtained at a special meeting of the shareholders on October 28, 2009. In November
2009, the Company issued 7.5 million shares of common stock upon the exercise of the Warrants by the holders. The Company determined the fair value of the Warrants was $15.5 million on the issuance date using the Black-Scholes Option Pricing
model, which was classified as a discount on the MRPS. The discount was accreted to interest expense in the accompanying consolidated condensed statement of operations over the period of issuance to the mandatory redemption date of the MRPS. There
was no accretion for the three months ended October 1, 2011 and the accretion was $0.9 million for the nine months ended October 1, 2011. The accretion for the three and nine month periods ended October 2, 2010 was $0.9 million and
$2.6 million, respectively. Unamortized discount on MRPS of $9.8 million was included in the loss on redemption of preferred shares and debt refinancing costs recorded in connection with the entry into 2011 credit agreement, as described in Note 5.

NOTE 7FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
The Company applies the provisions of ASC 820,
Fair Value Measurements
(ASC 820) to assets and liabilities measured at fair
value. This Statement requires fair value measurements be classified and disclosed in one of the following three categories:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Level 1:
|
|
Financial instruments with unadjusted, quoted prices listed on active market exchanges.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Level 2:
|
|
Financial instruments lacking unadjusted, quoted prices from active market exchanges, including over-the- counter traded financial instruments. The prices for the financial
instruments are determined using prices for recently traded financial instruments with similar underlying terms as well as directly or indirectly observable inputs, such as interest rates and yield curves that are observable at commonly quoted
intervals.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Level 3:
|
|
Financial instruments that are not actively traded on a market exchange. This category includes situations where there is little, if any, market activity for the financial
instrument. The prices are determined using significant unobservable inputs or valuation techniques.
|
The Company has classified certain marketable securities held in a trust for a former employee within Level 1 of the fair
value hierarchy, recognized as an other noncurrent asset of $0.6 million and $0.8 million as of October 1, 2011 and January 1, 2011, respectively.
The Company has classified its interest rate swaps, currency forward contracts, and interest rate caps within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy. As of October 1, 2011 and January 1, 2011, the
net carrying value of these instruments was $(1.2) million and a nominal amount, respectively, classified in other current assets (liabilities) in the Companys consolidated balance sheet. Fair values are measured as the present value of all
expected future cash flows adjusted to reflect the credit quality of the party bearing the cash flow obligation to pay if significant.
Accounting for Derivative Financial Instruments
The Company accounts for derivative financial instruments in accordance with ASC 815,
Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities
(ASC 815), as amended. As a result, the Company
recognizes derivative financial instruments in the condensed consolidated financial statements at fair value regardless of the purpose or intent for holding the instruments. Changes in the fair value of derivative financial instruments are either
recorded in income or in shareholders investment as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income depending on whether the derivative financial instrument qualifies for hedge accounting, and if so, whether it qualifies as a fair value
hedge or cash flow hedge.
Changes in fair values of derivatives accounted for as fair value hedges are recorded in earnings along with the
portions of the changes in the fair values of the hedged items that relate to the hedged risk. Changes in fair values of derivatives accounted for as cash flow hedges, to the extent they are effective hedges, are recorded in other comprehensive
income. Changes in fair values of derivatives not qualifying as hedges are reported in earnings.
Interest Rate Swaps
The Company utilizes interest rate swap agreements, designated as cash flow hedges, to limit its exposure to fluctuations in the base
lending rate under the Companys credit facility. These agreements result in the Company paying or receiving the difference between three month LIBOR and fixed interest rates at specified intervals, calculated based on the notional amounts. The
interest rate differential to be paid or received is recorded as interest income or expense. Under ASC 815, these swap transactions are designated as cash flow hedges, therefore the effective portion of the derivatives gain or loss is
initially recorded as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income and subsequently reclassified into earnings when the hedged interest expense affects earnings.
On May 24, 2011, the Company entered into two interest rate swap agreements (swaps), each with a notional value of $30.0 million. The swaps became effective on June 30, 2011 and will terminate
on March 30, 2014. As of October 1, 2011, the fair value of the swaps was a liability of $1.1 million. For the three and nine month periods ended October 1, 2011, the change in fair value recorded as a component of accumulated other
comprehensive income was $0.7 million and $1.1 million, respectively.

X-RITE, INCORPORATED AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - Continued
(Unaudited)
NOTE 7FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS - continued
On April 21, 2008, the Company terminated its 2006 series of interest rate swap agreements. Due to
termination of the interest rate swap contracts in April 2008, related accumulated other comprehensive loss balances have been frozen and will be recognized as interest expense over the period of the original hedged cash flows. Interest expense
recorded related to the terminated swaps during the three and nine months ended October 1, 2011 totaled $0.1 million and $0.4 million, respectively. The remaining balance in accumulated other comprehensive income related to these terminated
swaps was nominal as of October 1, 2011.
Currency Forward Contracts
During 2011 the Company has entered into a series of short term currency forward contracts (the forwards) to limit its exposure to fluctuations between
the Euro and the Swiss Franc. At October 1, 2011, the Company maintained two 0.5 million net settle contracts (total notional amount of $1.4 million), that mature monthly through November 2011.
At inception, the forwards were not designated as a hedge under ASC 815, therefore adjustments to fair value are recorded to the balance sheet with a
corresponding change to foreign currency transaction gains and losses included in other income (expense) in the statement of operations. For both the three and nine month periods ended October 1, 2011, the currency gains and losses associated
with the forward contracts were $0.1 million.
Interest Rate Cap
On December 30, 2008, the Company purchased an interest rate cap to limit its exposure to increases in the 3 month LIBOR rate above 3 percent per annum. The cost of the interest rate cap was $1.6
million, payment for which was made in January 2009. The cap became effective January 6, 2009, at a notional amount of $256.0 million. The notional amount amortizes downward every six months through January 6, 2012.
At inception, this interest rate cap was designated as a cash flow hedge under ASC 815. The Company assessed hedge effectiveness based on the total
changes in cash flows on its interest rate cap as described by the Derivative Implementation Group (DIG) Issue G20,
Cash Flow Hedges: Assessing and Measuring the Effectiveness of a Purchased Option Used in a Cash Flow Hedge,
and recorded
subsequent changes in fair value in other comprehensive income, including changes in the options time value. Gains or losses on interest rate caps used to hedge interest rate risk on variable-rate debt were reclassified out of accumulated
other comprehensive income and into earnings (as interest expense) when the forecasted transactions occur. The current market value of the interest rate cap is reported on the condensed consolidated balance sheets in other current and long-term
assets.
On April 4, 2010, the interest rate cap was de-designated as a cash flow hedge by the Company. The fair value of the cap as of
the de-designation date was an asset of $0.2 million. Due to the de-designation of the cap in April 2010, related accumulated other comprehensive loss balances have been frozen and will be recognized as interest expense over the period of the
original hedged cash flows. Interest expense recorded related to the amortization of unrealized losses frozen in accumulated other comprehensive loss during the three and nine months ended October 1, 2011 was $0.1 million and $0.4 million,
respectively. The remaining balance in accumulated other comprehensive income related to the cap was $0.1 million as of October 1, 2011, all of which is expected to be reclassified to earnings during the next three months.
Because LIBOR was not above the capped rate, the Company did not receive cash from the existing interest rate cap agreements during the three and nine
month periods ended October 1, 2011.
NOTE 8SHARE-BASED COMPENSATION
The Company accounts for share-based compensation in accordance with ASC 718,
Share-Based Payment
(ASC 718). Share-based
compensation cost is measured at the grant date based on the value of the award and is recognized as expense on a straight-line basis over the requisite service or performance periods.
The Company estimates the fair value of stock options granted using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. The valuation model relies on subjective assumptions that can materially affect the estimated
value of options and it may not provide an accurate measure of the fair value of the Companys stock options. Restricted stock awards and units are valued at closing market price on the date of the grant. Compensation expense for shares issued
under the Employee Stock Purchase Plan is recognized for 15 percent of the market value of shares purchased, using the purchase date closing market price. This expense is recognized in the quarter to which the purchases relate.

NOTE 9EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS
401(k) Retirement Savings Plan
The Company maintains a 401(k) retirement savings plan for the benefit of substantially all full time U.S. employees. Investment decisions are made by individual employees. Investment in Company stock is
not allowed under the plan. The matching contributions of the Company are discretionary. In conjunction with its restructuring efforts, the Company suspended its match of employee contributions under this plan in the first quarter of 2009. The
Company reinstated the matching of contributions in the second quarter of 2010. The Companys matching expense for the plan was $0.2 million and $0.7 million for the three and nine months ended October 1, 2011 and $0.2 million and $0.4
million for the three and nine months ended October 2, 2010, respectively.
Defined Benefit Plan
The Company maintains a defined benefit plan for employees of its X-Rite Europe GmbH subsidiary in Switzerland. The plan is part of an independent
collective fund which provides pensions combined with life and disability insurance. The assets of the funded plans are held independently of X-Rites assets in a legally distinct and independent collective trust fund which serves various
unrelated employers. The Funds benefit obligations are fully reinsured by Swiss Life Insurance Company. The plan is valued by independent actuaries using the projected unit credit method. The liabilities correspond to the projected benefit
obligations of which the discounted net present value is calculated based on years of employment, expected salary increases, and pension adjustments.

The Company is currently evaluating what additional contributions, if any, will be made to the pension plan during the
remainder of 2011. Actual contributions will be dependent upon investment returns, changes in pension obligations, and other economic and regulatory factors.
NOTE 10INCOME TAXES
For the three and nine month periods ended October 1, 2011, the Company recorded tax expense of $1.1 million and $0.7 million
against pre-tax income of $8.1 million and $5.2 million, respectively, resulting in an effective income tax rate of 12.5 percent for both periods. In the three month period ended October 1, 2011, the Company recorded income tax expense of $1.6
million related primarily to income tax in foreign countries offset by income tax benefits of $0.4 million primarily related to foreign tax deductions on intangible asset amortization charges and $0.1 million related primarily to its liability for
uncertain tax positions. For the nine months ended October 1, 2011, the Company recorded income tax expense of $1.9 million related primarily to income tax in foreign countries offset by income tax benefits of $1.1 million primarily related to
foreign tax deductions on intangible asset amortization charges and $0.1 million related primarily to a state tax refunds received and anticipated.
For the three and nine month periods ended October 2, 2010, the Company recorded tax benefit of $2.0 million and $1.6 million against pre-tax losses of $2.1 million and $1.9 million, respectively,
resulting in an effective income tax rate of 93.8 percent and 82.4 percent. In the three month period ended October 2, 2010, the Company recorded income tax benefit of $1.2 million related to foreign operations, $0.4 million representing
interest charges related to its liability for uncertain tax positions, and an income tax benefit of $0.4 million primarily related to foreign tax deductions on intangible asset amortization charges. For the nine month period ended October 2,
2010, the Company recorded income tax expense of $0.3 million for tax examination adjustments to a previously filed refund claim, $0.1 million related to share-based compensation, and income tax benefits of $0.4 million related to its liability for
uncertain tax positions, $0.4 million related to foreign operations, and $1.2 million primarily related to foreign tax deductions on intangible asset amortization charges.
The U.S. statutory rate for both tax years was 35.0 percent. The Company cannot currently recognize future potential tax benefits associated with its U.S. domestic operating losses and has valuation
allowances recorded against related net federal deferred income tax assets. In addition, the income tax provision reflects the fact that foreign taxes are currently not subject to foreign tax credit offsets given the net operating losses
accumulated domestically.
The Company maintains income tax accruals related to uncertain tax benefits, inclusive of accrued interest,
totaling $9.7 million and $6.6 million as of October 1, 2011 and January 1, 2011, respectively. The Company enters into intercompany transactions that the various taxing jurisdictions require to be maintained at arms length
pricing. While the Company believes the transaction as reported are appropriate, due to the related party nature of the transaction, it is common for uncertainty related to appropriate pricing to exist. Therefore, the Company has increased
its uncertain tax benefit accrual primarily due to tax positions the Company reported related to these allocations among the various jurisdictions. The $3.1 million increase was offset by available net operating loss carryovers, the benefit of
which has not previously been recognized because of the existing valuation allowances and is included in the tax expense reported for three and nine month periods as presented above.
For the majority of tax jurisdictions, the Company is no longer subject to U.S. federal, state, and local, or non-U.S. income tax examinations by tax authorities for years before 2007.

Net sales for the three and nine month periods ended October 1, 2011 increased $1.6 million and $15.4 million, or
2.8 percent and 9.4 percent, respectively, over the comparable periods in 2010. For the three months ended October 1, 2011, all product lines realized net sales growth with the exception of Imaging and Media. All of the product lines realized
net sales increases for the nine months ended October 1, 2011 with the exception of Other. The Companys sales growth was the result of recently launched product and marketing initiatives and the positive effect of exchange rate changes.
The Companys primary foreign exchange exposures are from the Euro and the Swiss Franc. The impact of fluctuations in these currencies
was reflected mainly in the Companys European operations. Foreign currency fluctuations had a $2.2 million favorable effect on net sales for the three months ended October 1, 2011 and a $6.5 million favorable effect on net sales for the
nine months ended October 1, 2011, as compared to the same periods in 2010.

Operations - continued
The Imaging and Media product lines provide solutions for commercial and package printing applications,
digital printing and photo processing, photographic, graphic design and pre-press service bureaus in the imaging industries. Imaging and Media product line net sales were down $1.3 million or 5.8 percent for the three months ended October 1,
2011 and up $2.8 million or 4.2 percent for the nine months ended October 1, 2011, over strong double digit growth performance in the comparable periods in 2010. The performance for the three months ended October 1, 2011 was heavily
influenced by a slowdown in demand for printing solutions into large press manufacturers. This slowdown, along with volatile after-market channel demand for printing solutions, was too significant in the period to be fully offset by strong digital
printing sales in the OEM channel. Recently released new imaging products designed for the creative markets (e.g. photographers and designers) enjoyed continued year over year sales growth in the period. The increase in net sales for the nine month
period ended October 1, 2011, was driven by multiple factors including demand in the Companys OEM channel, focused sales programs for printing markets in Asia Pacific, and growing demand for recently released new products, particularly
the new i1 Professional product family, including the i1 Profiler, i1 Display 3 and ColorMunki Display products.
The Industrial product line
provides color measurement solutions for the quality control, process control and global supply chain markets. The Companys products are an integral part of the manufacturing process for automotive interiors and exteriors, as well as textiles,
plastics, and dyes. Industrial product line net sales continued to see double digit growth and were up $1.1 million or 10.9 percent for the three months ended October 1, 2011 and up $5.1 million or 15.1 percent for the nine months ended
October 1, 2011, over the comparable periods of 2010. These results reflect strong growth for the three and nine month periods ended October 1, 2011 in Asia Pacific and Europe. Multiple products in various regions reported strong sales
growth year over year. New products such as the Companys Multi-Angle instruments are setting the pace in the Industrial product line. In the three months ended October 1, 2011, the Company also reported increased sales for online quality
control solutions.
The Standards product line includes products for the accurate communication and reproduction of color,
servicing worldwide customers in a variety of industries including imaging and media, textiles, digital technology, plastics and paint. Standards product line net sales were up $0.9 million or 7.9 percent for the three months ended October 1,
2011 and up $4.3 million or 13.4 percent for the nine months ended October 1, 2011, over the comparable periods of 2010. The year to date growth was paced by strong sales of new products. Key contributors to such growth include the new Pantone
Matching System (PMS+), the recent addition of 175 new colors in Pantones Fashion & Home product portfolio, and Pantone edition of the CAPSURE
TM
platform for designers.
The Support Services product line provides professional color training and support worldwide through seminar training, classroom workshops, on-site consulting, technical support and interactive media
development. This group also manages the Companys global service repair departments. The products repaired by the service department include the Companys products currently covered by our warranty program as well as those products which
have expired warranties. Support Services product line net sales were up $0.8 million or 13.4 percent for the three months ended October 1, 2011 and up $2.6 million or 13.7 percent for the nine months ended October 1, 2011, over the
comparable periods of 2010. The Company is continuing to see the strong demand for repair and professional services that it experienced in 2010. New service programs, expanding the installed base through new sales growth in Asia Pacific, and
selected price increases contributed to the growth experienced in the three and nine months ended October 1, 2011.
The Retail product
line markets paint matching products under the Match-Rite name to home improvement centers, mass merchants, paint retailers, and paint manufacturers. Retail product line net sales were flat for three months ended October 1, 2011 and were up
$0.7 million or 6.3 percent for the nine months ended October 1, 2011, over the comparable periods of 2010. For the nine months ended October 1, 2011, a majority of the growth was experienced in Europe. As the Retail business tends to be
large project oriented, the static sales for the three months ended October 1, 2011 is primarily related to timing of our large projects during this period.
The Companys products denoted as Other primarily serve the Medical and Dental markets. The Medical product line provides instrumentation designed for use in controlling variables in the processing
of x-ray film and other applications. The Dental product line provides shade matching technology to the cosmetic dental industry through X-Rites ShadeVision and Shade-X systems. Other product line net sales for the three and nine months ended
October 1, 2011, were relatively unchanged when compared to the same periods of 2010 due to limited market demand for these products.
18
Item 2. Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
Operations - continued
The Company primarily experienced net sales increases in the three and nine month periods ended
October 1, 2011, when compared to the three and nine month periods ended October 2, 2010, in all of the major geographic regions of the world where it conducts business:
Americas- Net sales were down $0.4 million or 2.0 percent for the three months ended October 1, 2011 and up $1.9 million or 3.0 percent for the nine months ended October 1, 2011, over the
comparable periods of 2010. For the nine month period ended October 1, 2011, improved sales in the Standards and Support Services lines were offset by lower sales in Imaging and Media and Industrial markets. While the decrease for the three
months ended October 1, 2011 was marginally impacted by most product lines. North America growth was primarily impacted by sluggish sales in the printing product line and timing of large project sales in the retail product line. Shipments
during the three months ended October 1, 2011 in the Americas Industrial business were lower than last year, and delayed project rollouts to architectural paint companies and big box retailers contributed to the year over year shortfall
as well. New product demand was robust in the Imaging product family including sales to photographers and other creative professionals.
Europe- Net sales were up $0.9 million or 4.1 percent for the three months ended October 1, 2011 and up $9.9 million or 16.5 percent for the nine
months ended October 1, 2011, over the comparable periods of 2010. The growth is broad based with Industrial, Printing, and Standards product lines contributing most substantially. The Retail/paint product line also recorded strong sales growth
in the three months ended October 1, 2011. These positive results were negatively influenced by the slowdown in printing solutions sales to a major press manufacturer based in Europe. Currency exchange rates in the three and nine months ended
October 1, 2011 versus 2010 provided a favorable impact on sales.
Asia Pacific- Net sales were up $1.1 million or 8.4 percent for the
three months ended October 1, 2011 and up $3.5 million or 8.7 percent for the nine months ended October 1, 2011, over the comparable periods of 2010. In both the three and nine month periods ended October 1, 2011, strong growth in the
Industrial, Standards, and Support Services product lines, more than offset a slowdown in shipments to our OEM partners in the region for the three months ended October 1, 2011. Increased investments in the Companys organizational
capabilities and partnerships have been made in Asia over the last year with the expectation that future growth in Asia will outperform other markets.
Cost of Sales and Gross Profit
Gross profit for the three months ended
October 1, 2011 was $33.9 million or 59.5 percent of sales, compared with $32.7 million or 59.1 percent of sales, for the three months ended October 2, 2010. Gross profit for the nine months ended October 1, 2011 was $106.4 million or
59.4 percent of sales, compared with $98.0 million or 59.9 percent of sales, for the nine months ended October 2, 2010. The year to date decrease in gross margin was primarily due to the impact of currency exchange rate changes with a small
negative impact related to customer and product sales mix.

For the three and nine month periods ended October 1, 2011, selling and marketing expenses increased by $0.1 million
or 0.7 percent and $2.8 million or 6.8 percent, respectively, over the comparable periods of 2010. For the three and nine month periods ended October 1, 2011, research, development and engineering expenses decreased by $0.4 million or 6.2
percent and increased by $0.4 million or 2.4 percent, respectively, as compared with the same periods of 2010. For the three and nine month periods ended October 1, 2011, general and administrative expenses remained flat and decreased by $1.0
million or 6.1 percent, respectively, as compared with the same periods of 2010.
19
Item 2. Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
Operations - continued
The overall changes in operating expenses for the three and nine month periods ended October 1,
2011 is primarily related to currency fluctuations and the strategic growth initiatives of the Company. The increase in selling and marketing expense for the three and nine month periods ended October 1, 2011 is attributable to the
Companys strategic market initiatives in the Asia Pacific region and Standards product line. Research, development, and engineering expense decreased for the three month period ended October 1, 2011 due to a reduction in employee benefits
and variable compensation. Research, development, and engineering expense increased for the nine month period ended October 1, 2011 due to acceleration of new product development and higher software development costs. For the three month period
ended October 1, 2011, general and administrative expenses remained flat due to continued cost management actions. For the nine month period ended October 1, 2011, general and administrative expenses decreased primarily due to lower share
based compensation expense.
Operating Income (Loss)
Operating income was $8.4 million and $28.2 million for the three and nine months ended October 1, 2011, as compared to operating income of $6.9 million and $20.0 million in the comparable periods of
2010. Operating income was favorably impacted by the increase in net sales across several product lines. The improved operating income is also a reflection of the Companys profit margins and continued cost management.
Other Income (Expense)
Interest Expense
Total interest
expense incurred by the Company for the three and nine month periods ended October 1, 2011 was $2.3 million and $10.3 million, respectively, including expense related to deferred financing fees, terminated swap agreements, and the de-designated
interest rate cap. For the three and nine month periods ended October 1, 2011, this is an improvement of 66.5 percent and 53.5 percent , respectively, over the comparable periods in 2010 and is largely attributable to the pay down of debt that
occurred during 2010 and 2011, coupled with the debt refinancing in the first quarter of 2011. Cash based interest on long-term debt was $1.7 million and $5.5 million for the three and nine month periods ended October 1, 2011,
respectively, which is an improvement of 45.6 percent and 59.0 percent over the comparable periods of 2010. The decrease in cash based interest was principally due to savings on the MRPS redeemed effective March 30, 2011 and lower overall
interest rates.
Loss on redemption of preferred shares and debt refinancing costs
In the first quarter of 2011, the Company recorded loss on redemption of preferred shares and debt refinancing cost of $13.8 million, which were related
to the previous first lien credit facility refinancing and redemption of the MRPS. These charges consisted primarily of a $9.8 million unamortized discount related to the MRPS, an early redemption fee of $2.3 million related to the MRPS, fees to
creditors and third parties of $1.0 million, and unamortized deferred financing costs associated with the MRPS of $0.7 million.
Other
Income (Expense), Net
Other income (expense), net consists primarily of gains and losses from foreign exchange translations. Other
income (expense), net was $2.0 million and $1.1 million for the three and nine months ended October 1, 2011, compared to $(1.2) million and $1.3 million in the same periods of 2010.
Income Tax (Benefit) Expense
For the three months ended October 1, 2011,
income tax expense was $1.1 million, compared to a $2.0 million tax benefit for the comparable period in 2010. For the nine months ended October 1, 2011 income tax expense was $0.7 million, compared to a $1.6 million tax benefit for the
comparable period in 2010. The income tax expense for both three and nine month periods ended October 1, 2011 is primarily related to earnings in foreign countries. The Companys effective tax rate for the three months ended
October 1, 2011 was 12.5 percent compared to 93.8 percent for the three months ended October 2, 2010. For the nine months ended October 1, 2011, the Companys effective tax rate was 12.5 percent compared to 82.4 for nine months
ended October 2, 2010.
Net Income (Loss)
The Company recorded net income of $7.0 million and $4.5 million for the three and nine month periods ended October 1, 2011, respectively, compared to net loss of $(0.1) million and $(0.3) million
for the comparable periods in 2010. On a per share basis, fully diluted net income (loss) per share was $0.08 and $0.05 for the three and nine month periods ended October 1, 2011, compared to $(0.00) and $(0.00) per share for the comparable
periods of 2010.

Cash
At October 1, 2011, the Company had cash of $7.7 million, compared with $11.7 million at January 1, 2011 for a decrease of $4.0 million. At October 1, 2011, approximately $7.7 million in
cash was held by subsidiaries outside of the United States.
Operating Activities
Net cash provided by operating activities was $34.8 million and $31.2 million for nine months ended October 1, 2011 and October 2, 2010,
respectively.
For the nine months ended October 1, 2011, cash provided by operating activities consisted of a net income of $4.5 million
and non-cash items totaling $33.7 million. Significant non-cash items were the loss on redemption of preferred shares and debt refinancing costs of $13.8 million, amortization of intangibles and capitalized software costs of $12.4 million, and
depreciation of $4.9 million. Net cash used for operating assets and liabilities was $3.4 million, which primarily consisted of accrued payroll and employee benefits of $4.2 million for 2010 variable compensation which was paid in the first quarter
of 2011, partially offset by income taxes of $3.9 million.
For the nine months ended October 2, 2010, cash provided by operating
activities consisted of a net loss $(0.3) million, offset by non-cash items of $31.4 million. Significant non-cash transactions included amortization of intangibles and capitalized software costs of $12.2 million, restructuring of $2.0 million,
depreciation of $4.6 million, paid-in-kind interest of $3.2 million, amortization of the discount on mandatorily redeemable preferred stock of $2.6 million, and share-based compensation expense of $2.4 million. Net cash provided by operating assets
and liabilities was $0.2 million, which included accounts receivable, inventories, accounts payable and accrued payroll and employee benefits of $8.9 million, partially offset by income taxes, prepaid expenses and other current assets, and other
current and non-current liabilities of $8.7 million.
Investing Activities
The components of the Companys investment activities are (i) proceeds from sales of assets, (ii) capital expenditures, and
(iii) increase in capitalized software. Net cash used for investing activities during the nine months ended October 1, 2011 and October 2, 2010 was $9.1 million and $7.0 million, respectively.
During the nine months ended October 1, 2011 and October 2, 2010, capital expenditures were $3.6 million and $3.2 million. The expenditures
relate primarily to machinery, equipment, and tooling used in connection with the Companys manufacturing operations. For the nine months ended October 1, 2011 and October 2, 2010 capitalized software costs were $5.6 million and $4.0
million, respectively.

Financing Activities
The primary components of the Companys financing activities are (i) the proceeds from long-term debt, (ii) the payment of debt, (iii) redemption of mandatorily redeemable preferred
stock, and (iv) debt amendment and refinancing charges. Net cash used for financing activities for the nine months ended October 1, 2011 and October 2, 2010 was $29.5 and $36.4 million, respectively.
On March 30, 2011, the Company entered into a new senior secured credit agreement which provides for aggregate principal borrowings of up to $225
million. This agreement replaced the Companys previous credit facilities and funded the redemption of all outstanding mandatorily redeemable preferred stock for the stated value of $47.0 million. Proceeds from the new credit agreement of $185
million were also used to repay in full the outstanding obligations under the previous credit agreement of $136.6 million. Fees incurred related to the debt amendment and refinancing were $5.6 million, which consisted of $3.3 million of fees to
creditors and third parties, of which $2.3 million were capitalized as deferred financing costs and $1.0 million were expensed, and a $2.3 million early redemption fee related to the MRPS.
The Company believes its current liquidity and cash position, future cash flows, and availability under its current credit facility should provide the necessary financial resources to meet its expected
operating requirements for the foreseeable future.
Restrictive Covenants
Under the Companys credit agreement the leverage ratio covenant is the most restrictive covenant to the Company. The credit agreement provides that
the Company must not exceed a ratio of total debt to Adjusted EBITDA. As of October 1, 2011, the Company was in compliance with the covenants under its credit facility. The calculation of the Adjusted EBIDTA is as follows:

Adjusted EBITDA is considered a financial measure that is not in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles
(GAAP) followed in the United States. Management believes these measures are useful and relevant to management and investors in their analysis of the Companys underlying business and operating performance. Management also uses this information
for operational planning and decision-making purposes. Non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered a substitute for any GAAP measures. Additionally, non-GAAP measures as presented may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported
by other companies.

Item 2. Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
Operations - continued
CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ESTIMATES
The Company strives to report its financial results in a clear and understandable manner. It follows accounting principles generally accepted in the
United States in preparing its consolidated financial statements, which requires management to make certain estimates and apply judgments that affect its financial position and results of operations. There have been no material changes in the
Companys policies or estimates since January 1, 2011.
The preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally
accepted accounting principles in the United States requires management to adopt accounting policies and make significant judgments and estimates to develop amounts reflected and disclosed in the financial statements. In some instances, there may be
alternative policies or estimation techniques that could be used. Management maintains a thorough process to review the application of accounting policies and to evaluate the appropriateness of the many estimates that are required to prepare the
financial statements. However, even under optimal circumstances, estimates routinely require adjustment based on changing circumstances and the receipt of new or better information.
NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARDS
There are no recently issued accounting standards that are
expected to have a material effect on the Companys financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.
OFF BALANCE SHEET
ARRANGEMENTS AND CONTRACTUAL OBLIGATIONS
The Company has no significant off balance sheet transactions, other than operating leases for
equipment, real estate, and vehicles.
Management has discussed the development and selection of the Companys accounting policies with
the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk
The Company is exposed to a variety of risks, including interest rate risk, foreign currency exchange fluctuations and market volatility in its derivative
and insurance portfolios. In the normal course of business, the Company employs established procedures to evaluate its risks and take corrective actions when necessary to manage these exposures.
The Company does not trade in financial instruments for speculative purposes.
Interest Rates
The Company is subject to interest rate risk principally in relation
to variable-rate debt. The Company utilizes interest rate swaps to manage the potential variability in interest rates associated with its debt. The interest rate swaps limit the Companys exposure to an increase in the 3 month LIBOR
rate. The notional amount of the swaps at October 1, 2011 was $60.0 million.
A hypothetical 25 basis point increase in interest rates
year to date through October 1, 2011 would have increased the interest expense reported in the condensed consolidated financial statements by $0.3 million, for the nine months ended October 1, 2011.
Foreign Exchange
Foreign
currency exchange risks arise from transactions denominated in a currency other than the entitys functional currency and from foreign denominated transactions translated into U.S. dollars. The Companys largest exposures are to the Euro
and Swiss Franc. As these currencies fluctuate relative to the dollar and relative to each other, such fluctuations may cause profitability to increase or decrease accordingly.
A hypothetical 10 percent increase or decrease in all quoted currency exchange rates moving in tandem, would have increased or decreased net income by approximately $0.3 million for the nine months ended
October 1, 2011.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Under the supervision and with the
participation of the Companys senior management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, the Company conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of its disclosure controls and procedures,
as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the Exchange Act), as of the end of the period covered by this quarterly report (the Evaluation Date). Based on this evaluation, the
Companys Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded as of the Evaluation Date that the Companys disclosure controls and procedures were effective such that the information relating to the Company, including
consolidated subsidiaries, required to be disclosed in our Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) reports (i) is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in SEC rules and forms, and (ii) is
accumulated and communicated to the Companys management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
There have been no changes in our internal controls over financial reporting, during the quarter ended October 1, 2011, that have materially affected or are reasonably likely to materially affect our
internal control over financial reporting.
PART II OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. Legal Proceedings
The Company from time to time is involved in legal
proceedings, legal actions, and claims arising in the normal course of business, including proceedings related to product, labor, and other matters. Such matters are subject to many uncertainties, and outcomes are not predictable with assurance. The
Company records amounts for losses that are deemed probable and subject to reasonable estimate. The Company does not believe that the ultimate resolution of any of these matters will have a material adverse effect on its financial condition or
results of operations.
Item 1A. Risk Factors
There have been no material changes from the risk factors previously disclosed in the Companys Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended January 1, 2011.
