        NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)


1.   Basis of Presentation

     We prepared our accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial
     statements following the requirements of the Securities and Exchange
     Commission (SEC) for interim reporting. As permitted under those rules,
     certain footnotes or other financial information that are normally required
     by generally accepted accounting principles can be condensed or omitted.
     Therefore, we suggest that these financial statements be read in
     conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto
     included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended
     January 1, 2000 ("1999 Form 10-K").

     Revenues, expenses, assets and liabilities can vary during each quarter of
     the year. Therefore, the results and trends in these interim financial
     statements may not be the same as those for the full year.

     In our opinion, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial
     statements include all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring items,
     considered necessary to present fairly, when read in conjunction with the
     1999 Form 10-K, our financial position, results of operations and cash
     flows for the periods presented.

2.   Earnings Per Common Share

     Basic earnings per share are computed by dividing net income by the
     weighted average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted earnings per
     share are computed by dividing net income by the average number of common
     shares outstanding, including the dilutive effects of options, restricted
     stock and contingently issuable shares. Unless otherwise noted, references
     are to diluted earnings per share.

     Basic and diluted earnings per share were calculated using the following:

3.   Special Charge

     During the fourth quarter of 1999, we recorded a special charge of $20.2
     million. Cash outlays associated with the charge were $1.2 million in the
     first quarter of 2000. The components of the special charge and utilization
     in 1999 and the first three months of 2000 are as follows:

     We expect to complete restructuring activities and utilize the remaining
     charge by the end of 2000.

     As a result of the special charge, the work force will be reduced by about
     100 personnel, primarily in corporate staff and executive functions and in
     our college alumni direct marketing business. Cumulative terminations were
     65 at April 1, 2000.

ITEM 2.    MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
           RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Our disclosure and analysis in this report may contain some "forward-looking
statements". Forward-looking statements give our current expectations or
forecasts of future events. Forward-looking statements generally can be
identified by the use of forward-looking terminology such as "may," "will,"
"expected," "intend," "estimate," "anticipate," "believe," "project," or
"continue," or the negative thereof or similar words. From time to time, we also
may provide oral or written forward-looking statements in other materials we
release to the public. Any or all of our forward-looking statements in this
report and in any public statements we make may turn out to be wrong. They can
be affected by inaccurate assumptions we might make or by known or unknown risks
or uncertainties. Consequently, no forward-looking statements can be guaranteed.
Actual results may vary materially. Investors are cautioned not to place undue
reliance on any forward-looking statements. Investors should also understand
that it is not possible to predict or identify all such factors and should not
consider the following list to be a complete statement of all potential risks
and uncertainties.

Any change in the following factors may impact the achievement of results:

     o    the merger with Saturn Acquisition Corporation;

     o    our ability to achieve the intended benefits of our corporate
          restructuring announced in the fourth quarter of 1999;

     o    our relationship with our independent and employee sales
          representatives;

     o    material litigation cases we are currently involved which, if decided
          against us, may adversely affect our financial results;

     o    environmental regulations that could impose substantial costs upon us
          and may adversely affect our financial results;

     o    the fluctuating prices of raw materials, primarily gold;

     o    the seasonality of our School Products segment sales and operating
          income;

     o    our dependence on a key supplier for our synthetic and semiprecious
          stones; and

     o    fashion and demographic trends.


The foregoing factors are not exhaustive, and new factors may emerge or changes
to the foregoing factors may occur that would impact our business.

===============================================================================


     o    School Products sales increased primarily due to shorter production
          cycle times which allowed for earlier shipments of yearbooks and
          graduation products during the first quarter of 2000 compared with the
          prior year. These increases were offset by accelerated jewelry
          shipments in the fourth quarter of 1999 due to improved manufacturing
          efficiencies compared with the prior year, and a decline in commercial
          printing volume.

     o    Recognition sales decreased primarily due to a change in product mix
          from jewelry to brand name merchandise.

Gross Profit
Gross margin for the three months ended April 1, 2000 was 61.9 percent, compared
with 58.8 percent for the comparable period in 1999.

     The increase in gross margin was primarily due to:

     o    favorable mix and price increases;

     o    shorter production cycle times which allowed for earlier shipments of
          higher margin graduation products during the first quarter of 2000
          compared with the prior year;

     o    manufacturing efficiencies in our School Products segment in 2000; and

     o    a $1.5 million charge in the first quarter of 1999 to close a facility
          in Mexico and realign all Jewelry operations in the United States.

     These increases were partially offset by:

     o    a decline in Recognition segment sales due to a change in product mix
          from jewelry to brand name merchandise.

Selling and Administrative Expenses
Selling and administrative expenses increased 4.7 percent in the first quarter
of 2000 over the prior year period.

     The increase reflects:

     o    higher commission expense in 2000 due to increased sales;

     o    higher selling expense in 2000 related to programs and initiatives
          intended to increase our sales;

     o    higher bad debt expense in 2000; and

     o    higher information system expense, primarily for depreciation.

     These increases were partially offset by:

     o    lower amortization expense in 2000 related to our write-off of
          goodwill as part of the 1999 special charge;


                                       11
<PAGE>

     o    lower selling and administrative expenses as a result of exiting the
          college alumni direct marketing business in the fourth quarter of
          1999;

     o    reduced spending on temporary labor in our Recognition segment in 2000
          compared with 1999 as we prepared for a system implementation in the
          first quarter of 1999; and

     o    lower legal fees in 2000 compared with 1999 related to the lawsuit
          with Taylor Publishing.

=============================================================================


     School Products
     The increase in School Products operating income of $4.0 million was
     primarily due to:

          o    favorable mix and price increases;

          o    higher sales of graduation products due to shorter production
               cycle times which allowed for earlier shipments in the first
               quarter of 2000 compared with the prior year;

          o    manufacturing efficiencies in 2000;

          o    a $1.5 million charge in the first quarter of 1999 to close a
               facility in Mexico and realign all Jewelry operations in the
               United States; and

          o    lower legal fees in 2000 compared with 1999 related to the
               lawsuit with Taylor Publishing.

     These increases were partially offset by:

          o    timing of jewelry sales volume as shipments were accelerated in
               the fourth quarter of 1999 due to manufacturing efficiencies
               compared with the prior year;

          o    a decline in commercial printing volume;

          o    higher commission expense in 2000 due to increased sales;

          o    higher selling and marketing expense in 2000 related to programs
               and initiatives intended to increase our sales;

          o    higher bad debt expense in 2000; and

          o    higher information system depreciation expense as a result of our
               1999 systems implementations.

<PAGE>

     Recognition
     The decrease in Recognition operating income of $0.4 million was primarily
     due to:

          o    a sales decline primarily due to a change in product mix from
               jewelry to brand name merchandise; and

          o    higher information system depreciation expense as a result of our
               1999 systems implementations.

     This decreases were partially offset by:


          o    reduced spending on temporary labor in our Recognition segment in
               2000 compared with 1999 as we prepared for a system
               implementation in the first quarter of 1999.

     Other
     The decrease in Other operating loss of $2.7 million was primarily due to:

          o    lower selling and administrative expenses as a result of exiting
               the college alumni direct marketing business in the fourth
               quarter of 1999;

          o    lower spending in 2000 compared with 1999 related to our new
               product and channel development group; and

          o    lower information system expense due to decreased spending
               related to the year 2000 and Oracle system.

Net Interest Expense
Net interest expense increased $0.7 million in the first quarter of 2000 over
the prior year period. The year-over-year increase reflects lower average
borrowings offset by higher average interest rates in 2000.

Income Taxes
Income taxes for the first quarter of 2000 and 1999 were accrued at an overall
effective rate of 40.5 percent.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Cash generated from operating activities and availability under short-term
borrowing agreements were our principal sources of liquidity for the quarter
ended April 1, 2000. These funds covered our dividend payments, investments in
property and equipment, and equity investments.

Operating Activities
Operating activities generated cash of $24.3 million in the first three months
of 2000, compared with $28.6 million for the same period in the prior year. The
decrease of $4.3 million was primarily due to the timing of customer deposits
and accounts payable, offset by higher net income and reduced inventories.

Investing Activities
Capital expenditures for the first three months of 2000 were $2.7 million,
compared with $7.3 million for the same period in 1999. The decrease of $4.6
million relates to higher capital expenditures in 1999 on information systems.

Financing Activities
Net cash used for financing activities in the first three months of 2000 was
$45.1 million, compared with $18.8 million for the same period in 1999. The
increase of $26.3 million was primarily due to repayments of short-term
borrowings as a result of delaying these payments to ensure availability of
funds until after the year 2000 date change. This increase was offset by the
decrease in common stock repurchases.

                            PART II OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1.   LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

          On May 9, 2000, we agreed in principal to settle the three purported
          class action lawsuits that were filed in Minnesota district court for
          the County of Hennepin against Jostens and its directors alleging
          breaches of fiduciary duty by Jostens' directors in connection with
          the merger. The settlement is subject to court approval. There have
          been no other material developments in legal proceedings during the
          three months ended April 1, 2000. For additional information, refer to

          of business. We regularly analyze current information and, as
          necessary, provide accruals for probable liabilities on the eventual
          disposition of these matters. We believe the effect on our
          consolidated results of operations and financial position, if any, for
          the disposition of all currently pending matters will not be material.
