Exhibit 99.4
UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
On November 24, 2009, Resources Connection, Inc. (the “Company”) filed an initial report on Form 8-K with the Securities and Exchange Commission reporting the acquisition of certain assets of Sitrick And Company, a California corporation (“Sitrick Co”), and Brincko Associates, Inc., a California corporation (“Brincko”) through the purchase of all of the outstanding membership interests in Sitrick Brincko Group, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Sitrick Brincko Group”), pursuant to a Membership Interest Purchase Agreement by and among the Company, Sitrick Co, Michael S. Sitrick, an individual, Brincko and John P. Brincko, an individual. In addition, on the same date, the Company completed its acquisition of the personal goodwill of Mr. Sitrick pursuant to a Goodwill Purchase Agreement by and between the Company and Mr. Sitrick.
At the closing, the Company paid to Sitrick Co, Brincko and Mr. Sitrick (collectively, the “Sellers”) an aggregate of $28,564,287 in cash and 822,060 restricted shares of common stock (the number of shares determined using a share exchange price of $18.71) of the Company, par value $0.01 per share, for 100% of the Sitrick Brincko Group membership interests and the goodwill. For financial reporting purposes, the restricted shares were valued at $16,137,037, based upon a $19.63 share price at the closing date. In addition, the Sellers will be entitled to receive contingent consideration provided that Sitrick Brincko Group’s average annual earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, or EBITDA, over a period of four years from the date of closing exceeds $11,250,816. In certain change-of-control events involving the Company or Sitrick Brincko Group, the Sellers would be entitled to accelerate the earn-out payments, without a floor on EBITDA. The Company may, in its sole discretion, pay up to 50% of any earn-out payments in restricted stock of the Company.
The unaudited pro forma condensed combined statements of operations for the fiscal year ended May 30, 2009 and for the three months ended August 29, 2009 combine the historical consolidated statements of operations of the Company, Sitrick Co and Brincko, giving effect to the acquisition as if it had occurred on June 1, 2008. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined statements of operations for the fiscal year ended May 30, 2009 include the results of operation of the Company for the year ended May 30, 2009, Sitrick Co for the year ended June 30, 2009 and Brincko for the year ended June 30, 2009. Because Sitrick Co and Brincko both maintained calendar year-ends, the results for the year ended June 30, 2009 were derived by adding the results for the year ended December 31, 2008, adding the results for the six months ended June 30, 2009 and deducting the results for the six months ended June 30, 2008. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined statements of operations for the three months ended August 29, 2009 include the results of operation of the Company for the three months ended August 29, 2009, Sitrick Co for the three months ended June 30, 2009 and Brincko for the three months ended June 30, 2009. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet as of August 29, 2009 combines the historical consolidated balances sheets of the Company as of August 29, 2009 with the historical balance sheets of Sitrick Co and Brincko as of June 30, 2009, giving effect to the acquisition as if it had occurred on August 29, 2009. The historical consolidated financial information has been adjusted in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements to only give effect to pro forma events that are (1) directly attributable to the merger; (2) factually supportable; and (3) expected to have a continuing impact on the combined results. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information should be read in conjunction with the accompanying notes to the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements. In addition, the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information was based on and should be read in conjunction with the:
    Separate historical financial statements of the Company as of and for the year ended May 30, 2009 and the related notes included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended May 30, 2009;
 
    Separate historical financial statements of Sitrick Co as of and for the year ended December 31, 2008 (audited) and as of and for the six months ended June 30, 2009 (unaudited) and the related notes included within this Form 8-K;
 
    Separate historical financial statements of Brincko as of and for the year ended December 31, 2008 (audited) and as of and for the six months ended June 30, 2009 and June 30, 2008 (unaudited) and the related notes included within this Form 8-K;
 
    Separate historical financial statements of the Company as of and for the three months ended August 29, 2009 and the related notes included in the Company’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended August 29, 2009.

 


 

For ease of reference, all pro forma statements use the Company’s period-end date and no adjustments were made to Sitrick Co or Brincko’s reported information for their different quarter-end dates.
The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information has been presented for informational purposes only. The pro forma information is not necessarily indicative of what the combined company’s financial position or results of operations actually would have been had the merger been completed as of the dates indicated. In addition, the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information does not purport to project the future financial position or operating results of the combined company. There were no material transactions between the Company, Sitrick Co or Brincko during the periods presented in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements that would need to be eliminated.
The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information has been prepared using the acquisition method of accounting under existing U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, which are subject to change and interpretation. The acquisition accounting is dependent upon certain valuations and other studies that have yet to progress to a stage where there is sufficient information for a definitive measurement. Accordingly, the pro forma adjustments included herein are preliminary and have been made solely for the purpose of providing unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information, and may be revised as additional information becomes available and as additional analyses are performed. Differences between the preliminary estimates reflected in these unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements and the final acquisition accounting will likely occur, and these differences could have a material impact on the accompanying unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements and the combined company’s future results of operations and financial position.
The Company did not acquire certain assets and liabilities of Sitrick Co and Brincko. These assets and liabilities include 1) certain property and equipment of Sitrick Co and Brincko; 2) debt related to certain property and equipment or due to the CEO of Sitrick Co; and 3) pension liabilities of Brincko. Accordingly, the pro forma adjustments eliminate these assets and liabilities in the pro forma condensed combined balance sheet as of August 29, 2009 or the related expenses in the pro forma condensed combined statements of operations for the year ended May 30, 2009 and the three months ended August 29, 2009.
The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information does not reflect any operating synergies or other operational improvements, if any, that the combined company may achieve as a result of the acquisition, the costs to integrate the operations of the Company and Sitrick Brincko Group or the costs necessary to achieve potential operating synergies and revenue enhancements. Additionally, under the terms of the acquisition, up to 20% of the contingent consideration is payable to employees of Sitrick Brincko Group to the extent certain EBITDA growth targets are met. The unaudited pro forma condensed statements of operations and balance sheets do not reflect any adjustments with respect to this provision.

NOTES TO UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED COMBINED FINANCIAL INFORMATION
(amounts in thousands, except shares of stock)
Introductory Comments
The aggregate estimated purchase consideration for the acquisition is as follows:
         
Cash
  $ 28,564  
 
       
822,060 shares of Company common stock, valued at $19.63 per share
    16,137  
 
       
Estimated future contingent consideration payable, net of amount allocable to Sitrick Brincko Group employees
    57,820  
 
     
 
       
Total
  $ 102,521  
 
     
     The range of the undiscounted amounts the Company could be obligated to pay as contingent consideration under the earn-out arrangement is between $0 and infinite. The estimated fair value of the contractual obligation to pay the contingent consideration recognized in the pro forma financial statements was $57.8 million. We determined the fair value of the obligation to pay contingent consideration based on probability-weighted projections of average EBITDA during the four year earn-out measurement period. The resultant probability-weighted average EBITDA amounts were then multiplied by 3.15 and then discounted using a discount rate of 1.9%.
     In accordance with the Financial Accounting Standards Board’s Accounting Standards Codification 805 Business Combinations, the Company will periodically reassess the estimated fair value of the contractual obligation to pay the contingent consideration and any changes in estimated fair value will be recorded in the Company’s statement of operations. Such changes in estimated fair value may be significant and cause significant volatility in the Company’s operating results during the earn-out measurement period. Additionally, under the terms of the acquisition, up to 20% of the contingent consideration is payable to employees of Sitrick Brincko Group at the end of the earn-out measurement period to the extent certain EBITDA growth targets are met. The Company will record the estimated fair value of the contractual obligation to pay the employee portion of the contingent consideration as it is deemed probable that such amount is payable. The following table summarizes the estimated fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed on an as if basis of August 29, 2009 (in thousands):

The above estimated fair values of assets acquired and liabilities assumed are provisional and are based on the information that was available as of the pro forma date to estimate the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed. The Company believes this information provides a reasonable basis for estimating the fair values of assets acquired and liabilities assumed but the Company is waiting for additional information necessary to finalize those fair value estimates. Thus, the provisional measurements of fair value reflected are subject to change and such changes could be significant. The Company expects to finalize the valuation and complete the purchase price allocation as soon as practicable but no later than one-year from the acquisition date.
1. Cash
The acquisition was funded using available cash from the Company and the issuance of the Company’s restricted stock. The total cash portion of the transaction was approximately $28.6 million. Accordingly, an adjustment to lower interest income is appropriate as discussed in note 4.
2. Goodwill, Intangibles, Long-Term Liability and Amortization of Intangibles
In connection with the acquisition of Sitrick Co and Brincko, the Company’s management will allocate the purchase price to the fair value of the net assets acquired. In its initial estimate of this allocation, the Company’s management estimates the excess of the initial purchase price over the fair value of assets acquired to be approximately $13.9 million. In addition, the Company is required to estimate the amount of the earn-out that may be paid dependent upon the achievement of certain adjusted earnings before interest, income taxes, depreciation and amortization over a period of four years from the date of closing. Based on an assessment of a number of possible earn-out scenarios over the four years, management has estimated the earn-out value to be $57.8 million, net of the amount allocable to Sitrick Brincko Group employees. Related to this estimate, the Company has also recorded a deferred tax asset of approximately $23.7 million, reflecting the Company’s estimate of the temporary difference between book and tax treatment of the earn-out at a 41% tax rate. Of the total purchase price, the Company’s management estimates that $61.3 million will be allocable to intangible assets with indefinite lives and goodwill. The remaining $10.4 million relates to amortizable intangible assets, consisting of customer relationships, non-compete agreements and trade names that will be amortized on a straight-line basis ranging from thirteen months to five years. Accordingly, pro forma amortization expense is estimated to be approximately $4.0 million for the year ended May 30, 2009 and $990,000 for the three months ended August 29, 2009. Upon completion of the valuation of the fair value of the net assets acquired, actual results may differ materially from those

presented herein. The goodwill related to the transaction is expected to be deductible for tax purposes over 15 years. Any contingent consideration payable at the end of the four year earn-out is also expected to be deductible for tax purposes from the date of payment over 15 years.
3.   Property and Equipment, net and Depreciation Expense
