Independent Auditor’s Review Report

Board of Directors

Lifetouch Inc.

Minneapolis, Minnesota

We have reviewed the accompanying consolidated financial statements of Lifetouch Inc., which comprise the balance sheet as of December 31, 2017 and the related consolidated statements of operations, comprehensive income and cash flows for the six-months ended December 31, 2017 and 2016, and the related consolidated statement of stockholders’ equity for the six month period ended December 31, 2017.    

Management’s Responsibility for the Financial Information

Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the interim consolidated financial information in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America; this includes the design, implementation, and maintenance of internal control sufficient to provide a reasonable basis for the preparation and fair presentation of the interim consolidated financial information in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Auditor’s Responsibility

Our responsibility is to conduct our reviews in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America applicable to reviews of financial information. A review of interim financial information consists principally of applying analytical procedures and making inquiries of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters. It is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America, the objective of which is the expression of an opinion regarding the financial information as a whole. Accordingly, we do not express such an opinion.

Conclusion

Based on our reviews, we are not aware of any material modifications that should be made to the accompanying interim consolidated financial information referred to above for it to be in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Report on Balance Sheet as of June 30, 2017

We have previously audited, in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America, the consolidated balance sheet of Lifetouch Inc. as of June 30, 2017 and the related consolidated statement of operations, comprehensive income, stockholders’ equity, and cash flows for the year then ended (not presented herein); and in our report dated August 9, 2017, except as to Note 12, which is as of January 19, 2018, we expressed an unmodified opinion on those audited consolidated financial statements. In our opinion, the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of Lifetouch Inc. as of June 30, 2017, is consistent, in all material respects, with the audited consolidated financial statements from which it has been derived.

1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Nature of Operations

Lifetouch Inc. (the Company), through its wholly owned subsidiaries, produces various school, retail, consumer, and church related photographic, publishing and similar products throughout North America. Operations are predominately in the school photographic markets.

Basis of Consolidation

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company (LTI) and its wholly owned subsidiaries, Lifetouch National School Studios Inc. (LNSS), Lifetouch Portrait Studios Inc. (LPS), Lifetouch Church Directories and Portraits Inc. (LCD), Lifetouch Services Inc. (LSI), and iMemories Inc. (LIM). The Company also consolidates wholly owned foreign subsidiaries in Canada (Lifetouch Canada Inc.; Lifetouch Church Directories and Portraits Inc.). All significant intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.

Basis of Presentation

All dollar amounts presented in the consolidated financial statements are in thousands, except for per share information.

Accounting Estimates

Management uses estimates and assumptions in preparing these consolidated financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. Those estimates and assumptions affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities, and the reported revenues and expenses. The valuation of employee stock ownership plan compensation, financial instruments, goodwill and other intangible assets, deferred costs and obligations, self-insured liabilities, and certain other accrued liabilities include significant estimates. It is at least reasonably possible that actual results could differ from those estimates.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand and highly liquid investments with original maturities of less than three months. Substantially all of the Company’s cash equivalents are invested in money market mutual funds and in commercial paper of industrial and other companies. These investments are not insured. Supplemental disclosures of non-cash investing and financing activities are also included in subsequent footnotes.

Investments

Investments consist primarily of commercial paper, U.S. government and agency securities, mortgage backed and asset backed securities, and corporate notes and bonds with effective maturities of generally three months to five years. Management determines the appropriate classification of these marketable securities at the time of purchase and reevaluates such designation as of each balance sheet date.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The Company accounts for financial assets and liabilities in accordance with guidance issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 820, Fair Value Measurement. ASC 820 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value, and requires enhanced disclosures about fair value measurements.

The Company has certain financial instruments, none of which are held for trading purposes. The carrying values of cash, cash equivalents, receivables, trade accounts payable and other working capital items approximate fair value.

 

-8-


FASB ASC 820-10-35-37 defines fair value as the price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the Company’s principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date.

The Company determines the fair market values of investments based on the fair value hierarchy established in ASC 820-10-35-37, which requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. ASC 820-10-35-37 describes three levels within its hierarchy that may be used to measure fair value.

Level 1: Values based on unadjusted quoted prices in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical assets or liabilities.

Level 2: Values based on quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active, or model-based valuation techniques for which all significant assumptions are observable in the market.

Level 3: Significant inputs to the valuation model are unobservable. Valuation techniques include use of option pricing models, discounted cash flow models and similar techniques.

Receivables

The Company continuously evaluates the credit worthiness of its customers and generally does not require collateral. An allowance for doubtful accounts is recorded to reduce the trade receivables balance to the estimated amount collectible from customers. When determining the allowance for doubtful accounts, the Company takes several factors into consideration, including the composition of the trade receivables aging and historical trade receivables write-offs. Trade receivables of $14,239 and $15,176 at December 31, 2017 and June 30, 2017, respectively, are reported net of allowances for doubtful accounts of $1,539 and $1,050, respectively. Receivables also include amounts that are due from field managers for certain commission advances outstanding as of December 31, 2017 and June 30, 2017 totaling $2,780 and $2,952, respectively.

Inventories

Inventories, principally photographic paper and supplies, are stated at the lower of cost or market. Cost is determined using the first-in first-out and average cost methods.

Revenue Recognition and Deferred Costs of Unsold Products

Sales revenue is generally recorded when portraits and/or other merchandise are shipped to the customer. Point of shipment is defined as the shipment of the final product from the production facility. Revenue is recognized net of the expected returns and allowances.

The Company began selling portrait packages through the use of “Daily Deal” companies in fiscal 2011 and has continued this practice through 2017. Revenue from Daily Deal transactions is recognized when: (i) the deal is redeemed in the studio, or (ii) the likelihood of the deal being redeemed by the customer is remote (“breakage”). The breakage rate is based upon historical redemption patterns. Breakage revenue was not material in any period presented.

Deferred costs of unsold products represent costs (payroll, travel, rents, and finishing costs) relating to products produced but not delivered to customers.

 

-9-


Prepaid Advertising Costs

The Company expenses the production costs of advertising the first time the advertising takes place, except for direct-response advertising, which is capitalized and amortized over its expected period of future benefits (generally two to three months). Advertising consists primarily of direct mail and broad scale promotions, which are targeted at customers and prospects, and includes coupons for the Company’s products. Advertising of $5,021 and $4,456 was reported as a prepaid asset at December 31, 2017 and June 30, 2017, respectively. Advertising expense was $12,912 and $14,260 in the six months ended December 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively.

Property, Plant, and Equipment

Property, plant and equipment are recorded at cost. For reporting purposes, the Company uses the straight-line depreciation method over the estimated useful lives of the assets. The present values of capital lease obligations are classified as long-term debt and the related assets are included in equipment, furniture and fixtures. Amortization of assets recorded under capital lease obligations is included in depreciation expense. Expenditures for maintenance, repairs and minor replacements are charged to operations. Substantially all property, plant and equipment are depreciated over the following estimated useful lives: machinery and equipment, 3-10 years with the majority in the range of 5-7 years; buildings, 30-40 years.

Property, plant and equipment are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstance indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable.

Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets

Goodwill, in accordance with ASC 805, Business Combinations, represents the excess of the purchase price over the estimated fair value of the net assets acquired. Goodwill is reviewed for impairment at least annually. During the six months ended December 31, 2017, the Company performed its required goodwill impairment tests and concluded there was no impairment of goodwill.

Other intangible assets, consisting primarily of customer contracts and non-compete agreements, are amortized on a straight-line basis generally over a period of five years.

Employee Stock Ownership Plan

The Company has an Employee Stock Ownership Plan and Trust (ESOP). The Company accounts for activity related to the ESOP in accordance with ASC 718-40, Employee Stock Ownership Plans. The Company funds the ESOP repurchase obligation through contributions (based on a percentage of eligible wages), dividends, and internal loans. Shares acquired by the ESOP through internal note agreements between the Company and the ESOP are recorded by the Company as unearned ESOP compensation in the Consolidated Balance Sheet, based on the ESOP’s acquisition cost, and such shares provide collateral for the internal note agreement(s). As the note between the ESOP and the Company is repaid, the shares are released from collateral and allocated to participants. The Company records the release of the shares from the unearned ESOP compensation account (or the commitment to release shares) based on their acquisition cost and records ESOP compensation expense based on the average fair value of the shares. ESOP compensation expense also includes additional Company cash contributions. Dividends on allocated ESOP shares are reported as a reduction of retained earnings and dividends on unallocated (unreleased) ESOP shares are reported as ESOP compensation expense. The Company’s common stock is valued at each period-end at fair value as determined by the ESOP Trustees, based on an annual independent appraisal at each year-end.

Income Taxes

The Company has elected to be taxed as an S Corporation. Consequently, the Company’s taxable income is passed through to the ESOP, which is a tax-exempt entity. The Company pays income taxes to certain states that do not recognize the Federal S Corporation elections.

 

-10-


Income taxes are provided for the tax effects of transactions reported in the consolidated financial statements and consist of taxes currently due plus deferred taxes. The deferred tax assets and liabilities represent the future tax return consequences of those differences which will either be deductible or taxable when the assets and liabilities are recovered or settled. The Company and its subsidiaries file consolidated federal income tax returns. For consolidated financial statement purposes, each of the companies is allocated its share of the tax provision (benefit) on the basis of its taxable income (loss).

The Company accounts for ASC 740, Income Taxes, which clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an enterprise’s consolidated financial statements. Interest and penalties are recognized as components of income tax expense and are immaterial for the years under consideration. 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 fiscal 2012. It is reasonably possible that the amount of unrecognized tax benefits will change during the next twelve months. However, the change, if any, is not expected to have a material impact on the financial condition of the Company.

Stock Compensation

The Company has a management incentive stock plan which provides for the granting of stock options to purchase shares of the Company’s stock and for other stock-based awards to certain key officers and members of its Board. The Company accounts for stock-based compensation in accordance with ASC 718, Stock Compensation. Stock options and other stock-based awards are recognized as liabilities in the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheet and re-measured at each balance sheet date. Stock options are measured using the intrinsic value method and other stock-based awards are measured at fair value. Stock-based compensation expense is recognized in the Consolidated Statement of Operations over the applicable vesting periods.

Foreign Currency Translation Policy

For foreign subsidiaries whose functional currency is the local foreign currency, balance sheet accounts are translated at exchange rates in effect at the end of the year (spot rate) and income statement accounts are translated at average exchange rates for the year. Translation gains and losses are included within stockholders’ equity. In determining net income, foreign currency transactions resulted in an exchange loss of ($575) and ($359) in the six months ended December 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

In May 2014 and amended in August 2015, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2014-09 which amended the Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606) of the Accounting Standards Codification. The core principle of the new guidance is that an entity should recognize revenue to reflect the transfer of goods and services to customers in an amount equal to the consideration the entity receives or expects to receive. The ASU will be effective for the Company for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018. The Company is currently evaluating the impact on the consolidated financial statements.

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-02, Leases (Topic 842), which provides guidance for accounting for leases. The new guidance requires companies to recognize the assets and liabilities for the rights and obligations created by leased assets, initially measured at the present value of the lease payments. The ASU is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2019. The Company is currently evaluating the new guidance and anticipates it will impact the consolidated financial statements given the Company has a significant number of leases.

3. INVESTMENTS

Investments consist of fixed income marketable securities with effective maturities of generally three months to five years. The Company reports marketable securities at fair market value and classifies all of its marketable securities as available for sale. Unrealized gains and losses on marketable securities are excluded from net income, but are included in accumulated other comprehensive income on the Consolidated Balance Sheet and in other comprehensive income (loss) on the Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income.

Proceeds from the sales and maturities of available for sale investments were $42,037 and $66,806 for the six months ended December 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively. Net realized gains on these sales were $3 and $13 in the six months ended December 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively. Realized gains and losses are determined using the specific identification method. Additionally, the Company has recorded the net amortization of bond premiums totaling $9 and $159 in the six months ended December 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively.

At December 31, 2017 and June 30, 2017, investments with an amortized cost basis of $96,028 and $45,397 had unrealized losses of $480 and $85, respectively. Of these amounts, investments with an amortized cost basis of $9,429 and $1,219, and with unrealized losses of $57 and $2, had been in a continuous unrealized loss position for twelve months or more. For the six months ended December 31, 2017 and 2016, no other-than-temporary investment losses were recognized through earnings. All investments that were in a loss position for longer than twelve months were evaluated to determine if a credit loss had been incurred. A variety of factors were considered, including payment history, price volatility, rating agency downgrades, and the issuer’s ability to meet its interest and principal payment obligations. Projected cash flows were discounted using the effective interest rates implicit in the security at the date of acquisition, or in the case of securities with variable rates, the most current interest rate. No material credit losses were incurred during the six months ended December 31, 2017 and 2016.

Assets and Liabilities Measured at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis

The following table presents financial assets included in the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheet that are recognized at fair value on a recurring basis, and indicates the fair value hierarchy utilized to determine such fair value. As required by ASC 820-10-35-37, assets and liabilities are classified in their entirety based on the lowest level of input that is a significant component of the fair value measurement. The lowest level of input is considered Level 3. The Company’s assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement requires judgment, and may affect the classification of fair value assets and liabilities within the fair value hierarchy levels.

5. BANK BORROWINGS AND NOTES PAYABLE

At June 30, 2017, the Company had an unsecured Credit Agreement (which includes a letter of credit facility) provided by two banks, one of which acted as the agent. The Credit Agreement provided for a $25,000 revolving credit facility committed through December 6, 2017. At June 30, 2017, there was no outstanding balance under the revolving credit facility. The revolving credit facility was terminated on November 19, 2017.

Under the Credit Agreement, interest was generally payable monthly and was based on the agent’s base rate or, at the election of the Company, on the LIBOR rate for portions of the outstanding balances as designated by the Company. Quarterly commitment fees were also charged on the unused portion of the revolving credit facility. The Credit Agreement contained certain restrictions and a financial covenant that had to be maintained on a continuing basis.

As of December 31, 2017 and June 30, 2017, the Company has three stand-by letters of credit, totaling $19,307, for the benefit of the Company’s workers’ compensation insurance carriers. Prior to November of 2017, the letters of credit were written against the revolving credit facility. In November 2017, the letters of credit were reissued and collateralized with a certificate of deposit. There were no amounts drawn against any of the letters of credit at December 31, 2017 and June 30, 2017.

6. DEFERRED OBLIGATIONS

The Company has deferred and incentive-based compensation plans for certain key employees as follows:

Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan

Certain key employees whose participation in the ESOP is restricted by Internal Revenue Code limitations are eligible for deferred benefits under a Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan. Benefits are generally based upon participant compensation levels and are invested in phantom shares of Company stock. Distributions are paid in a manner similar to benefits under the ESOP.

Management Incentive Stock Plans

The Company has a management incentive stock plan, which provides for the granting of stock options to purchase shares of the Company’s stock and for other stock-based awards to certain key officers and members of its Board. Stock plan disclosures are presented in footnote 10.

Other Incentive Compensation Plans

The Company has a number of other incentive compensation plans under which awards are made to key employees. Those awards are determined based on company position, compensation levels, years of service, and company performance.

The accompanying Consolidated Statement of Operations includes a net reduction in deferred and incentive-based compensation expense (other than stock-based expense) of ($204) in the six months ended December 31, 2017 and compensation expense of $898 in the six months ended December 31, 2016.

7. INCOME TAXES

The Company has elected to be taxed as an S Corporation. Consequently, the Company’s taxable income is passed through to its ESOP, which is a tax-exempt entity. The Company pays income taxes to certain states that do not recognize the Federal S Corporation elections.

The (benefit)/provision for income taxes consists of the following for the six months ended:

 

     December 31, 2017

Income taxes paid were $91 and $328 in the six months ended December 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively.

The total deferred tax assets and liabilities included within the net deferred taxes are as follows at:

 

     December 31, 2017

Deferred tax asset valuation allowances of $300 and $93 were recorded at December 31, 2017 and June 30, 2017, respectively. The valuation allowance increased by $207 in the six months ended December 31, 2017 and did not change in the six months ended December 31, 2016.

Deferred income tax liabilities have been recognized primarily for the remaining net book values of intangible assets and depreciable fixed assets exceeding the remaining net tax values of such assets. Deferred income tax benefits have been recognized primarily due to certain accrued liabilities and their expenses being deducted for financial reporting that are not currently deductible for tax purposes.

 

8. EMPLOYEE STOCK OWNERSHIP PLAN AND TRUST

The primary purpose of the ESOP is to provide participants with an opportunity to accumulate capital for their retirement needs. Substantially all U.S. employees are eligible for ESOP benefits provided they meet eligibility requirements for years of service and hours worked. Funds accruing to participants begin to vest after two years of service and reach 100% vesting after six years of service or age 60, or the employee’s death or disability, whichever occurs first. The ESOP qualifies as an Employee Stock Ownership Plan as defined in the Internal Revenue Code.

The ESOP distributes the value of the participant’s account in the form of cash unless the Company elects to pay the distribution in the form of Company stock. Distributions from the ESOP are subject to the distribution and stock ownership restrictions contained within the ESOP documents, but generally occur upon death, disability or retirement. Distributions are made over a minimum period of three years up to a maximum distribution period of five years. De minimis account balances may be distributed in one lump sum. If stock is distributed, it is subject to mandatory buy-back provisions which require the Company to purchase, and the participant to sell, the distributed shares at current fair value.

 

-17-


ESOP distributions are funded by the Company in the form of contributions, dividends and internal loans. Contributions to the ESOP may be made annually up to the maximum amount allowed under Internal Revenue Service regulations and are invested in the Company’s common stock as well as certain marketable securities. Minimum annual contributions must be made in amounts sufficient to cover any ESOP debt service obligations to the Company (if internal loans exist).

Total ESOP compensation and other employee retirement plan expense are as follows for the six months ended:

On September 6, 2016 the Company sold to the ESOP 340,910 newly issued shares of common stock for $30,000 under a note payable with a 30 year term. As of June 30, 2017, the newly issued shares were all unreleased (not allocated to participants). The ESOP is required to make annual payments of $1,000 plus interest at 1.9%. As loan payments are made, shares are released into participant accounts based on the ratio of the current principal plus interest divided by the total original principal plus interest to be paid. In September of 2017, the first payment of principal and interest was made in the amount of $1,570, which released 13,782 shares from suspense.

The Company also redeemed and retired $19,175 and $28,973 worth of stock from retirees during the first six months ended December 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016, respectively.

The fair value of the common stock at December 31, 2017 was estimated to be $56.00, and the fair value at June 30, 2017 was $56.00 per share. The ESOP shares were as follows at:
