Report of Independent Auditors

 

The Shareholders

Bruker BioSpin Group

 

We have audited the accompanying combined balance sheets as of December 31, 2007 and 2006, of the companies listed in Note 1, and the related combined statements of income, shareholders’ equity and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2007. These financial statements are the responsibility of the companies’ management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

 

We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. We were not engaged to perform an audit of the companies’ internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the companies’ internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

 

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the combined financial position at December 31, 2007 and 2006, of the companies listed in Note 1, and the combined results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2007 in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

 

As discussed in Note 2 to the combined financial statements, effective January 1, 2007, the companies adopted Financial Accounting Standards Board Interpretation No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes. Also, as discussed in Note 17 to the combined financial statements, in 2006 the companies adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 158, Employers Accounting for Defined Benefit Pension and Other Postretirement Plans — an amendment of FASB Statements No. 87, 88, 106 and 132(R).

Bruker BioSpin Group

 

Notes to Combined Financial Statements

 

December 31, 2007

 

(Dollar amounts in thousands)

 

1. Description of Business and Basis of Presentation

 

These financial statements present the combined financial position of Bruker BioSpin Inc., Bruker Physik AG, Techneon AG, Bruker BioSpin Invest AG and all of their wholly owned subsidiaries (the Bruker BioSpin Group or the Group). These companies represent companies under the control of common shareholders. All significant inter-group accounts and transactions have been eliminated in the combined financial statements. The combined financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

 

The Bruker BioSpin Group designs, manufactures and distributes enabling life science tools based on its core technology, magnetic resonance. The Group’s core technology platforms are Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR), Electro Paramagnetic Resonance (EPR), Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI), bench-top NMR and EPR, as well as advanced magnet technology and power supplies. The Group’s NMR division is a worldwide leader in NMR spectroscopy, with design, manufacturing and application centers in Europe, North America and Japan, as well as application and customer support facilities in most industrialized and developing countries. The Group also sells and services non-core products that are manufactured by non-combined affiliated entities. The Group’s diverse customer base includes pharmaceutical companies, biotechnology companies, academic institutions and government agencies.

 

Effective July 1, 2003, the Group acquired the operations of a superconducting wire manufacturer, European Advanced Superconductors (EAS) GmbH & Co KG in Hanau, Germany. The superconducting wire manufacturer is also a wire supplier to the Group’s magnet manufacturing sites. In March 2004, the Group acquired certain assets of ZFW, Gottingen, through a newly formed Bruker subsidiary, European High Temperature Superconductors (EHTS) GmbH & Co. KG. This entity provides research and development of high temperature superconductors.

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

 

Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities, at the date of the financial statements and reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from such estimates.

 

Cash and Cash Equivalents

 

The Group considers all highly liquid investments with original maturities of 90 days or less at date of purchase to be cash equivalents. Certain of these investments represent deposits which are not insured by the FDIC or any other United States government agency. Cash and cash equivalents are carried at cost, which approximates fair market value.

 

Restricted Cash

 

At December 31, 2007 and 2006, the Group had $3,443 and $4,095, respectively, that was subject to restrictions in connection with advance deposits made by customers and bank performance-bid bonds. According to the terms of the various agreements, $3,049 of these funds will be released from restrictions within one year. The remaining $394 will be released at the discretion of certain government agencies and is designated as a long-term asset in the accompanying combined balance sheet at December 31, 2007.

 

Short-Term Investments

 

The Group accounts for its short-term investments in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 115, Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities. The Group’s investments consist of money market funds that are considered to be available-for-sale and bond instruments that are considered to be trading securities at December 31, 2007 and 2006. The available-for-sale securities are reported at fair value, with unrealized gains and losses, net of tax, included as a separate component of comprehensive income. The value of these securities, as of December 31, 2007 and 2006, were $8,326 and $7,233, respectively. Unrealized gains associated with the available-for-sale securities were $495, $202, and $113 for the years ended December 31, 2007, 2006, and 2005 respectively. The bond instruments valued at $811 and $3,424

(Dollar amounts in thousands)

 

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

 

for the years ended December 31, 2007 and 2006 have maturity dates of September 2007 and February 2008. The unrealized gains from trading securities are recorded in other income.

 

Decreases in market values of individual securities below cost for a duration of six to nine months are deemed indicative of other than temporary impairment. Other than temporary impairments are recorded by writing down the carrying amount of the investments to market value through other income (expense). For the years ended December 31, 2007, 2006 and 2005, there were no impairment charges.

 

Concentration of Credit Risk

 

Financial instruments that potentially subject the Group to concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of cash equivalents, short-term investments and trade receivables. The risk with respect to cash equivalents and short-term investments is minimized by the Group’s policy of investing with high-quality financial institutions and monitoring the amount of credit exposure to any one financial institution. The risk with respect to trade receivables is minimized by the creditworthiness and diversity of the Group’s customer base. Management performs periodic credit evaluations of its customers’ financial condition, and generally requires an advanced deposit for a portion of the purchase price. The Group maintains allowances for potential credit losses, which have been within management’s expectations. For the years ended December 31, 2007, 2006, and 2005, no sales to or receivables from any single customer exceeded 10% of Bruker BioSpin Group’s revenue or accounts receivables.

 

Inventories

 

Components of inventory include raw materials, work-in-process, demonstration units and finished goods. Demonstration units include units which are located in the Group’s demonstration laboratories and at potential customer sites and are considered available for sale. Finished goods include in-transit systems that have been shipped to the Group’s customers, but not yet installed and accepted by the customer. All inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market, cost determined principally by the first-in, first-out (“FIFO”) method. The Group reduces the carrying value of its inventories for differences between the cost and estimated net realizable value taking into consideration usage in the preceding twelve months, expected demand, technological obsolescence and other information including the physical condition of demonstration and in-transit inventories.

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

 

The Group records a charge to cost of product revenue for the amount required to reduce the carrying value of inventory to net realizable value. Costs associated with the procurement and warehousing of inventories, such as inbound freight charges and purchasing and receiving costs, are included in the cost of product revenue line item within the statements of income.

 

Software Costs

 

Purchased software is capitalized and amortized over the estimated useful life, generally three years. Costs incurred developing software for use in the Group’s products are expensed as incurred and classified as research and development expense.

 

Property, Plant and Equipment

 

Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and amortization. Major improvements are capitalized, while expenditures for maintenance, repairs, and minor improvements are charged to expense. When assets are retired or otherwise disposed of, the assets and related accumulated depreciation are eliminated from the accounts and any resulting gain or loss is reflected in the statements of income. Depreciable assets are depreciated on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of the assets as follows:

 

Machinery and equipment

 

5—7 years

Furniture and equipment

 

3—5 years

Leasehold improvements

 

Lesser of 15 years or the lease term

Buildings

 

25—39 years

 

Intangible Assets

 

Intangible assets with a finite useful life are amortized on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives. Refer to Note 4 for further discussion.

Long-Lived Assets

 

The Group reviews long-lived assets for impairment in accordance with SFAS No. 144, Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets. Impairment losses are recorded on long-lived assets used in operations when indicators of impairment are present and the quoted market price, if available, or the estimated undiscounted operating cash flows generated by those assets are less than the assets’ carrying value. Impairment losses are charged to the statement of income for the difference between the fair value and carrying value of the asset. No impairment losses were recorded on long-lived assets during the years ended December 31, 2007, 2006 or 2005.

 

Warranty Costs

 

The Group typically provides a one to two-year parts and labor warranty with the purchase of equipment. The anticipated cost for this warranty is accrued upon recognition of the sale and is included as a liability on the accompanying combined balance sheets.

 

Changes to the product warranty liability during the years ended 2007 and 2006 are as follows:

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

 

Customer Deposits

 

Under the terms and conditions of its contracts, the Group often requires an advance deposit for a portion of the purchase price of its products. These deposits are recorded as a liability until the associated revenue is recognized upon acceptance of the system.

 

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

 

The Group’s financial instruments consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents, short-term investments, accounts receivable, short-term borrowings, accounts payable, long-term debt, amounts due to and from affiliated entities, notes receivable from affiliated entities and derivative instruments. The carrying value of the Group’s cash and cash equivalents, short-term investments, accounts receivable, short-term borrowings, accounts payable and amounts due to and from affiliated entities approximate fair value due to their short-term nature. The carrying values of the notes receivable from affiliated entities and long-term debt approximate fair value, estimated using interest rates available to the Group for similar items.

 

Foreign Currency Translation and Transactions

 

In accordance with SFAS No. 52, Foreign Currency Translation, all balance sheet items of foreign subsidiaries are translated into United States dollars at the current exchange rate at the balance sheet date. Results of operations of foreign subsidiaries are translated at the average exchange rate prevailing throughout the year. Resulting translation adjustments are made directly to shareholders’ equity and are included in accumulated other comprehensive income.

 

Gains and losses resulting from the settlement of transactions denominated in currencies other then the functional currency of the operating entity are recorded in other income (expenses).

 

Shipping and Handling Costs

 

The Group records costs incurred in connection with shipping and handling products as marketing and selling expenses. Amounts billed to customers in connection with these costs are included in product revenue. Shipping and handling costs approximated $5,343, $4,968, and $5,132 in the years ended December 31, 2007, 2006 and 2005, respectively.

Advertising Costs

 

Advertising costs are expensed as incurred. Advertising expenses included in marketing and selling expenses approximated $2,664, $2,477, and $1,889 for the years ended December 31, 2007, 2006 and 2005, respectively.

 

Revenue Recognition

 

The Group recognizes revenue from system sales when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, the price is fixed or determinable, title and risk of loss has been transferred to the customer and collectibility of the resulting receivable is reasonably assured. Title and risk of loss is generally transferred to the customer upon receipt of a signed customer acceptance for a system that has been shipped, installed, and for which the customer has been trained. As a result, the timing of customer acceptance or readiness could cause the Group’s reported revenues to differ materially from expectations. When products are sold through an independent distributor, a strategic distribution partner or an unconsolidated affiliated distributor, which assumes responsibility for installation, the Group recognizes the system as revenue when the product has been shipped and title and risk of loss has been transferred. The Group’s distributors do not have price protection rights or rights to return; however, the Group’s products are warranted to be free from defects for a period of one to two years. Revenue is deferred until cash is received when a significant portion of the fee is due over one year after delivery, installation and acceptance of the system. For arrangements with multiple elements, the Group recognizes revenue for each element based on the fair value of the element provided when all other criteria for revenue recognition have been met. The fair value for each element provided in multiple element arrangements is typically determined by referencing historical pricing policies when the element is sold separately. Changes in the Group’s ability to establish the fair value for each element in multiple element arrangements could affect the timing of revenue recognition.

 

Revenue from the sale of accessories and parts is recognized upon shipment and service revenue is recognized as the services are performed.

 

Other revenues are comprised of research grants and licensing agreements. Grant revenue is recognized as work is performed. Licensing revenue is recognized ratably over the term of the related contract.

Research and Development

 

Research and development costs are expensed as incurred.

 

Income Taxes

 

The Group accounts for income taxes in accordance with SFAS No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes (“SFAS 109”). SFAS 109 requires the asset and liability approach to account for income taxes by recognizing deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of differences between the financial statement basis and the tax basis of assets and liabilities, calculated using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to be reflected in the tax return. The Group records a valuation allowance to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount that is more likely than not to be realized.

 

On January 1, 2007, the Group adopted the provisions of Financial Accounting Standards Board Interpretation No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes — an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109 (“FIN No. 48”). Among other things, FIN No. 48 provides guidance to address uncertainty in tax positions and clarifies the accounting for income taxes by prescribing a minimum recognition threshold which an income tax position is required to meet before being recognized in the financial statements. In addition, FIN No. 48 requires expanded annual disclosures, including a rollforward of the beginning and ending aggregate unrecognized tax benefits as well as specific detail related to tax uncertainties for which it is reasonably possible the amount of unrecognized tax benefit will significantly increase or decrease within twelve months. In connection with the adoption of FIN No. 48, the Group recorded a reduction to retained earnings of $1.2 million. The Group has unrecognized tax benefits of approximately $15.0 million as of January 1, 2007, of which $6.8 million, if recognized, would result in a reduction of the Group’s effective tax rate.

 

Contingencies

 

The Group is subject to proceedings, lawsuits and other claims related to patents, products and other matters. Management assesses the likelihood of any adverse judgments or outcomes of these matters, as well as potential ranges of probable losses. A determination of the amount of reserves required, if any, for these contingencies are made after careful analysis of each individual issue. The required reserves may change in the future due to new developments in each matter or changes in approach, such as a change in settlement strategy in dealing with these matters.

Derivative Instruments

 

The Group manufactures and sells its products in a number of countries throughout the world and, as a result, is exposed to movements in foreign currency exchange rates. The Group periodically enters into forward currency exchange contracts and options to hedge its exposure for product sales recorded in EURO (€) currency to be redeemed in U.S. Dollars. The Group accounts for derivative financial instruments in accordance with SFAS No. 133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities, as amended, which requires that all derivative instruments be reported on the balance sheet at fair value and establishes criteria for designation and effectiveness of hedging relationships. Changes in the fair value of derivatives are recorded each period in current operations or in shareholders’ equity as other comprehensive income depending upon whether the derivative is designated as part of a hedge transaction and, if it is, the type of hedge transaction.

 

The Group periodically enters into purchase and sales contracts denominated in currencies other than the functional currency of the parties to the transaction. In accordance with SFAS 133, the Group accounts for these transactions separately valuing the “embedded derivative” component of these contracts. The derivative component is marked to market in the combined balance sheet with subsequent changes in the fair value recorded in earnings.

 

Recent Accounting Developments

 

In December 2007, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued SFAS No. 141 (revised 2007), Business Combinations (“SFAS 141R”) and SFAS No. 160, Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements — an amendment of Accounting Research Bulletin No. 51 (“SFAS 160”). SFAS 141R will change how business acquisitions are accounted for and will impact financial statements both on the acquisition date and in subsequent periods. SFAS 160 will change the accounting and reporting for minority interests, which will be recharacterized as noncontrolling interests and classified as a component of equity. Statements 141R and 160 are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008. Early adoption is not permitted. The Group is currently evaluating the impact, if any, these statements will have on its consolidated financial statements.

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

 

In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Liabilities, Including an amendment of FASB Statement No. 115, (“SFAS 159”). This Statement permits entities to choose to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair value that are not currently required to be measured at fair value. SFAS 159 is effective as of the beginning of fiscal 2008. The Group is currently assessing the effect, if any, that the adoption of SFAS 159 will have on its results of operations and financial position.

 

In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, Fair Value Measurements (“SFAS 157”). SFAS 157 provides a common fair value hierarchy for companies to follow in determining fair value measurements in the preparation of financial statements and expands disclosure requirements relating to how such fair value measurements were developed. SFAS 157 clarifies the principle that fair value should be based on the assumptions that the marketplace would use when pricing an asset or liability, rather than company-specific data. This Statement is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. However, on February 12, 2008, the FASB issued Staff Position 157-2 which delays the effective date of Statement 157 for all nonfinancial assets and nonfinancial liabilities, except those that are recognized or disclosed at fair value in the financial statements on a recurring basis. For items within its scope, this Staff Position defers the effective date of Statement 157 to fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2008. The Group is currently assessing the impact that the adoption of SFAS 157 will have on its results of operations and financial position.

 

Reclassifications

 

Certain amounts in 2006 have been reclassified to conform to 2007 presentation. Such reclassifications had no effect on previously reported net income or shareholders’ equity.

3. Acquisitions

 

The acquisitions below were accounted for as purchases in accordance with SFAS No. 141, Business Combinations. Under SFAS No. 141, the total consideration for the business acquisitions was first allocated to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their respective fair values.

 

The Group acquired the superconducting wire business unit of Morgan Crucible on July 1, 2003. The transaction was to facilitate more efficient production and decrease inventory costs as the acquired business unit manufactures a primary component of the Group’s magnetic resonance systems. The terms of the acquisition called for earn-out payments based on future net revenues through 2011 to a maximum payment of €48.0 million (approximately $70.7 million at December 31, 2007). Earn-out payments of approximately $64, $5, and $5 were made for sales during the periods ended December 31, 2007, 2006, and 2005, respectively.

 

In March 2004, the Group acquired certain assets of ZFW, Gottingen, for an initial cash payment of approximately €350 (approximately $437 at March 1, 2004) and earn-out payments of up to €1,200 (approximately $1.78 million at December 31, 2007) for sales between 2007 and 2014. The entire purchase price of $437 represented the fair value of the patents and fixed assets acquired. The business acquired provides research and development for high temperature superconductors.

 

The Group entered into a Technology Transfer and Asset Purchase Agreement in December 2006 with ShapeMetal Innovation B.V., a former supplier, for a purchase price of €1,500 due in three equal installments of €500. The Group had a pre-existing relationship with ShapeMetal. The initial cash payment of €500 (approximately $660 at December 1, 2006) and milestone payments of €1,000 (approximately $1.47 million at December 31, 2007) represented the fair value of the know how and equipment acquired. The allocation of the purchase price was made based upon management estimates. The equipment, with an approximate fair value of €175, and know how, with an approximate fair value of €1,325, were acquired for the manufacturing of powder and powder in tube conductors.

The valuation allowance was determined in accordance with the provision of SFAS No. 109, which requires an assessment of both positive and negative evidence when determining whether it is more likely than not that deferred tax assets are recoverable. Such assessment is required on a jurisdiction-by-jurisdiction basis. For financial reporting purposes, a valuation allowance at December 31, 2007 and 2006 was recognized to offset deferred tax assets at companies in the Group where uncertainty existed with respect to future realization of deferred tax assets.

 

As of December 31, 2007, 2006 and 2005, net operating loss carryforwards approximating $16,649, $30,837, and $22,456, respectively, were available to reduce future foreign taxable income. Portions of the net operating loss carryforwards have no expiration dates, and others expire at various dates through the year 2017.

10. Income Taxes (continued)

 

On August 14, 2007, the German Business Tax Reform 2008 was signed by the Federal President and the legislative process was finalized on August 17, 2007 with the official publication of the law. This new legislation changes the German Federal Corporate Tax Rate from 25% to 15%. In addition, German Trade Tax is no longer deductible from the Corporate Income Tax. This law change, due to the benefit of revaluing our deferred tax assets and liabilities reduced the Group’s effective income tax rate by 6.8%.

 

No provision for United States income taxes has been made in the accompanying combined financial statements for foreign entities’ income since they are not subsidiaries of a United States corporation.

 

The Group has unrecognized tax benefits of approximately $13.2 million as of December 31, 2007, of which $5.3 million, if recognized, would result in a reduction of the Group’s effective tax rate. As of December 31, 2007, the Group does not expect any material changes to unrecognized tax positions within the next twelve months. A tabular reconciliation of the beginning and ending amount of unrecognized tax benefits is as follows:

 

Gross unrecognized tax benefits at January 1, 2007

The Group recognizes penalties and interest related to unrecognized tax benefits in the provision for income taxes. As of December 31, 2007, we had approximately $1,159 of accrued interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions included in the liability on the combined balance sheet, of which $193 was recorded during the twelve months ended December 31, 2007.

 

The Group considers its significant tax jurisdictions to include Switzerland, France, Germany, and the United States. The tax years 2003 to 2007 are open tax years in our major taxing jurisdictions. The Company files returns in many foreign and state jurisdictions with varying statutes of limitations.

The amounts paid for services are based on management’s best estimates of the fair value of such services, and were recorded as a reduction of general and administrative expense in the combined financial statements.

 

The Group rents office space from principal shareholders under multiple leases, which have expiration dates ranging from March 31, 2010 to December 31, 2015. Total rent expense under these leases was $1,095, $1,081, and $1,078 for the years ended 2007, 2006 and 2005, respectively. The Group subleased a portion of office space from an affiliate during 2007, 2006 and 2005. The Group paid $32, $32, and $29, respectively, in rental expense, which included charges for utilities and other occupancy cost.

 

In November 2007, the Group sold part of an office building to ZeroC-Project GmbH in the amount of $1,137. ZeroC is a wholly owned company of one of the principal shareholders, Isolde Laukien. An independent valuation of the building was performed and the sales price was based on the estimated current market value of the building.

 

As of December 31, 2007 and 2006, the Group had outstanding notes receivable totaling $125 and $194, respectively, from other affiliated entities.

15. Segment and Geographic Information

 

SFAS No. 131, Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information, establishes standards for reporting information about operating segments in annual financial statements of public business enterprises. It also establishes standards for related disclosures about products and service, geographic areas and major customers. The Group evaluated its business activities that are regularly reviewed by the Group’s management, for which discrete financial information is available. As a result of this evaluation, the Group determined that it has two reportable operating segments: analytical instruments and superconducting wire. The analytical instruments business manufactures and distributes enabling life science tools based on its core technology, magnetic resonance. The superconducting wire business manufactures and distributes magnetic wire that is used in the manufacturing of these enabling life science tools.

17. Employee Retirement Plans

 

Defined Benefit Plans

 

Substantially all of the Group’s employees in Switzerland, France and Japan, as well as certain employees in Germany, are covered by Group-sponsored defined benefit pension plans. Retirement benefits earned are generally based on years of service and compensation during active employment. Eligibility is generally determined in accordance with local statutory requirements. However, the level of benefits and terms of vesting may vary among plans.

17. Employee Retirement Plans (continued)

 

The Group adopted SFAS No. 158, Employers Accounting for Defined Benefit Pension and Other Postretirement Plans — an amendment of FASB Statements No. 87, 88, 106 and 132(R) on December 31, 2006. This Statement requires an employer to recognize the over-funded or under-funded status of defined benefit pension and other postretirement defined benefits plans, previously disclosed in the footnotes to the financial statements, as an asset or liability in its statement of financial position and to recognize changes in that funded status in the year in which the changes occur through comprehensive income. This Statement also requires an employer to measure the funded status of a plan as of the date of its year-end statement of financial position. In addition, this Statement requires disclosure of the effects of the unrecognized gains or losses, prior service costs and transition asset or obligation on the next fiscal year’s net periodic benefit cost.

 

The following table illustrates the incremental effect of applying SFAS 158 on individual line items on the Group’s balance sheet as of December 31, 2006.

To determine the expected long-term rate of return on pension plan assets, the Group considers the current and expected asset allocations, as well as historical and expected returns on various categories of plan assets. For the principal pension plans, the Group applies the expected rate of return to a market-related value of assets, which stabilizes variability in assets to which that expected return is applied.

Net Periodic Pension Cost (continued)

 

At December 31, 2007 and 2006, two of the Group’s defined benefit pension plans have an accumulated benefit obligation of $69,264 and $69,052 and plan asset fair values totaling $77,796 and $73,277, respectively. The remainder of the Group’s plans are unfunded plans with an aggregate accumulated benefit obligation of $8,354 and $8,534 as of December 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively.

 

As required under SFAS No. 158, the Group’s total defined benefit pension liability includes a pension asset of $4,672 related to a plan in Switzerland (Swiss Plan) and a pension liability of $491 related to a plan in France (French Plan) at December 31, 2007. The funding policy of both the Swiss and French Plans is consistent with the local government and tax requirements. The Swiss and French Plans are not required to be funded pursuant to Swiss government and tax requirements.

 

Asset Allocations by Asset Category

 

The Group’s weighted-average pension plan asset allocation at December 31, 2007 and 2006, by asset category, is as follows:

Plan fiduciaries set investment policies and strategies for the trust. Long-term strategic investment objectives include preserving the funded status of the trust and balancing risk and return. The plan fiduciaries oversee the investment allocation process, which includes selecting investment managers, setting long-term strategic targets and monitoring asset allocations. Target allocation ranges are guidelines, not limitations, and occasionally plan fiduciaries will approve allocations above or below a target range.

 

The long-term investment strategy is to achieve a rate of return on assets of 4.5% a year. The investment strategy is limited to investing in a maximum of 35% in equity securities and a maximum of 30% in foreign currencies.

19. Commitments and Contingencies

 

Certain companies within the Group have been parties to litigation alleging patent infringement against patents of their competitors. During 2004, the Group recorded a charge of $28,469 to cover costs associated with loss and related legal fees to the extent such amounts were deemed both probable and estimable. The related accrual for these costs was included in long-term other liabilities in the accompanying combined balance sheet at December 31, 2004. During 2005, a settlement agreement was signed for the Group’s various magnet patent litigation cases, which released the Group from any losses. As a result, the Group reversed this obligation in the amount of $25,754 during 2005. Actual legal expenses incurred were $343 during 2005.

20. Subsequent Events

 

On February 26, 2008, all of the outstanding capital stock of the Group was acquired by Bruker BioSciences Corporation in accordance with the terms of various acquisition agreements dated as of December 2, 2007. The shareholders of the Group received $914.0 million of consideration from Bruker BioSciences Corporation.

(i)   During 2004, the Bruker BioSpin Group recorded a pre-tax charge against operating income of $28.5 million to cover litigation expenses and probable liabilities associated with alleged patent infringement litigation by a competitor. The related accrual was included in long-term other liabilities on the condensed combined balance sheet as of December 31, 2004. In 2005, a favorable settlement agreement was signed for various magnet patent litigation cases, which released the Bruker BioSpin Group from any infringement liabilities and, as a result, a pre-tax amount of $25.8 million of this liability was reversed, which contributed positively to operating income.

NOTES TO UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

1. Description of the Transaction and Basis of Presentation

 

On February 26, 2008, Bruker Corporation completed the acquisition of all of the outstanding capital stock of the Bruker BioSpin Group in accordance with the terms of various agreements dated as of December 2, 2007. At the completion of these acquisitions, Bruker Corporation paid an aggregate of $914.0 million of consideration to the shareholders of the Bruker BioSpin Group, which was payable with 57,544,872 shares of unregistered common stock valued at $526.0 million, $351.0 million of cash obtained under a new credit facility and the balance with cash on hand. The value of the shares of common stock in connection with the merger was determined using a trailing average of the closing market prices of the Company’s stock for a period of ten consecutive trading days ending two days prior to the signing of the various agreements.

 

The six Bruker BioSpin Group shareholders, who owned approximately 52% of Bruker Corporation on an undiluted basis, also owned 100% of the stock of the Bruker BioSpin Group. As a result, this transaction was a related-party transaction. Pursuant to the acquisition agreements, completion of the transactions was subject to the approval of both a majority of Bruker Corporation shareholders and a majority of the non-affiliated Bruker Corporation shareholders who voted on the transaction. The acquisition agreements were signed among Bruker Corporation, the Bruker BioSpin Group and all of the Bruker BioSpin Group shareholders.

 

The following pro forma adjustments are based on available information and various estimates and assumptions. Actual adjustments will differ from the pro forma adjustments. We believe that these assumptions provide a reasonable basis for presenting the significant effects of the acquisitions and that the pro forma adjustments give appropriate effect to these assumptions and are properly applied in the Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Financial Statements.

 

2. Eliminations in the Combined Balance Sheet and Statements of Operations

 

The eliminations column in the restated combined financial statements reflects the elimination of all intercompany transactions, which include (in thousands):

 

(a)          Adjustment to eliminate the intercompany accounts receivable and payable balances at the end of the period.

 

(b)         Adjustment to eliminate product sales between Bruker Corporation and the Bruker BioSpin Group during the periods presented.

 

(c)          Adjustment to eliminate product cost of sales between Bruker Corporation and the Bruker BioSpin Group during the periods presented as well as profit in inventory on the balance sheet at the end of each period.

 

(d)         Adjustment to record the income tax provision (benefit) associated with the elimination of profit in inventory.

 

(e)          Adjustments to eliminate profit in inventory, to reduce the income taxes payable associated with the elimination of profit in inventory and to adjust retained earnings for the period for the elimination of profit in inventory.

 

3. Pro Forma Adjustments to the Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Balance Sheet

 

The Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Balance Sheet as of December 31, 2007 gives effect to the acquisition of the Bruker BioSpin Group as if it occurred on January 1, 2007. Pro forma adjustments have been made and are described below (in thousands, except share and per share data):

 

(a)          The cash to be paid was 42.5% of the total consideration, or $388.0 million.

 



 

i.                  The Bruker BioSpin Group shareholders elected to receive a combination of cash and stock. The percentage of cash and stock varied for each of the individual shareholders. The trailing average of the Bruker Corporation closing price per share for the period of ten consecutive trading days ending two trading days prior to the signing of the transaction agreements was $9.14; the six shareholders received 57,544,872 shares of common stock of Bruker Corporation, with a market value of approximately $624.9 million as of February 25, 2008.

 

ii.               The Company borrowed $351.0 million under a senior credit facility to finance a portion of the acquisition of the Bruker BioSpin Group and related expenses, which increased long-term debt by $144.4 million and short-term debt by $206.6 million at the date of closing the acquisition.

 

(b)         Adjustments to reflect payments for estimated acquisition related costs associated with the transaction. Total acquisition related costs are estimated to be $16.1 million, of which $4.7 million and $2.7 million, respectively, were recorded on the books of Bruker Corporation and the Bruker BioSpin Group as of December 31, 2007. Acquisition related costs include investment banking, legal, accounting and antitrust regulation filing fees, and real estate transfer taxes, as well as compensation earned by the special committee of the Company’s Board of Directors and fees for establishing the senior credit facility. Of the $16.1 million of acquisition related charges referenced above, $2.9 million relates to establishing the senior credit facility, which will be capitalized and amortized over the life of the facility. The remainder of the anticipated acquisition related charges will be expensed as incurred.

 

(c)          Adjustment to reflect the $0.01 per share par value associated with the 57,544,872 additional shares of Bruker Corporation common stock issued to the Bruker BioSpin Group shareholders in connection with the acquisition, less the elimination of the Bruker BioSpin Group common stock par value.

 

(d)         Adjustment to reflect the additional paid in capital associated with the additional shares of Bruker Corporation common stock issued to the Bruker BioSpin Group shareholders in connection with the acquisition, offset by a deemed dividend to the affiliated shareholders.

 

(e)          Adjustment to establish a valuation allowance for the U.S. deferred tax assets of the Bruker BioSpin Group.

 

4. Pro Forma Adjustments to the Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Statements of Operations

 

The Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Statements of Operations give effect to the acquisition of the Bruker BioSpin Group as if it occurred on January 1, 2005. Pro forma adjustments have been made and are described below (in thousands, except share and per share data):

 

(a)          We estimate that Bruker Corporation will incur merger related costs of $16.1 million related to the acquisition of the Bruker BioSpin Group. These costs include investment banking, legal, accounting and antitrust regulation filing fees, and real estate transfer taxes, as well as compensation earned by the special committee of the Company’s Board of Directors and fees for establishing the senior credit facility. We will be required to expense all of these costs in the period incurred, except for the costs related to establishing the senior credit facility, which are $2.9 million. The costs associated with establishing the senior credit facility will be amortized ratably over the life of the senior credit facility, or five years. During the year ended December 31, 2007, Bruker Corporation and the Bruker BioSpin Group incurred $7.4 million of these costs. These costs were removed as part of the pro forma adjustments as they are material, non-recurring charges directly related to the merger. The merger related costs were not tax effected because Bruker Corporation was in a net loss position for tax purposes in the U.S., the jurisdiction where the expenses were recorded.

 

(b)         Adjustment reflects the impact of:

 

i.                  A reduction of interest income related to the cash on hand of $53.1 million used to finance a portion of the acquisition and certain acquisition-related charges. We estimate that we receive an average interest rate of 3% on cash and short-term investments, which results in a reduction to interest income of $1.6 million on an annual basis. We have assumed that this reduction in interest income would occur primarily in certain German operations and, accordingly, have recorded an associated tax benefit of $0.3 million on an annual basis.

 

ii.               A  reduction of interest income related to the dividend of approximately $64.8 million (75 million Swiss Francs at an exchange rate of $0.86 US Dollars per Swiss Franc as of December 21, 2007). We estimate that we receive an average interest rate of 3% on cash and short-term investments,

 



 

which results in a reduction to interest income of $1.9 million on an annual basis. We have assumed that this reduction in interest income would occur primarily in certain Swiss operations and, accordingly, have recorded an associated tax benefit of $0.2 million on an annual basis.

 

iii.            An increase in interest expense associated with the senior credit facility. We borrowed $351.0 million at an average rate of 4.1% as of February 26, 2008, to finance a portion of the Bruker BioSpin Group acquisition and to settle certain acquisition related charges, which results in an increase in interest expense of $14.4 million on an annual basis. The debt was incurred in the United States, Switzerland and Germany. The interest on the portion of the debt in the United States has not been tax effected because Bruker Corporation was in a net loss position for U.S. tax purposes as of the end of each period. We have recorded a tax benefit of $2.5 million on an annual basis related to the portion of the debt incurred in our Swiss and German subsidiaries.

 

(c)          The change in basic and diluted average shares outstanding reflects the adjustment for the additional shares of Bruker Corporation common stock issued to the Bruker BioSpin Group shareholders upon consummation of the transaction.
