INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT

To the Shareholder of Triwest Trading (Canada) Ltd.

Report on the Financial Statements

We have audited the accompanying financial statements of Triwest Trading (Canada) Ltd., which comprise the balance sheets as at December 31, 2011, December 31, 2010 and January 1, 2010 and the statements of income, retained earnings and cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2011, December 31, 2010 and December 31, 2009, and a summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory information.

Management’s Responsibility for the Financial Statements

Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these financial statements in accordance with Canadian accounting standards for private enterprises, and for such internal control as management determines is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

Auditor’s Responsibility

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 of America. Those standards require that we comply with ethical requirements and plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free from material misstatement.

An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditor’s judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the entity’s preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity’s internal control. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements.

We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained in our audits is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.

Opinion

In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Triwest Trading (Canada) Ltd. as at December 31, 2011, December 31, 2010 and January 1, 2010, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2011, December 31, 2010 and December 31, 2009 in accordance with Canadian accounting standards for private enterprises.

1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of accounting

These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Canadian accounting standards for private enterprises.

Measurement uncertainty

The financial statements have been prepared by management in accordance with Canadian accounting standards for private enterprises. The precise value of many assets and liabilities is dependent on future events. As a result, the preparation of financial statements for a period involves the use of approximations which have been made using careful judgment. Actual results could differ from those approximations. The financial statements have, in management’s opinion, been properly prepared within reasonable limits of materiality and within the framework of the accounting policies summarized below.

Financial instruments

Measurement of financial instruments

The entity initially measures its financial assets and liabilities at fair value, except for certain non arm’s length transactions. The entity subsequently measures all its financial assets and financial liabilities at amortized cost. Financial assets measured at amortized cost include accounts receivable and long term investments. Financial liabilities measured at amortized cost include the bank indebtedness, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, long term debt, promissory note and due to shareholder.

Impairment

Financial assets measured at cost are tested for impairment when there are indicators of impairment. The amount of the write down is recognized in net income. The previously recognized impairment loss may be reversed to the extent of the improvement, directly or by adjusting the allowance account, provided it is no greater than the amount that would have been reported at the date of the reversal had the impairment not been recognized previously. The amount of the reversal is recognized in net income.

Transaction costs

The entity recognizes its transaction costs in net income in the period incurred. However, financial instruments that will not be subsequently measured at fair value are adjusted by the transaction costs that are directly attributable to their origination, issuance or assumption.

Inventory

Inventory is valued at the lower of cost and net realizable value with cost being determined on the first in first out cost basis.

Supplier rebates and discounts are recognized when the vendor has applied them to the company’s account.

1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

 

Property, plant and equipment

Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated amortization. Property, plant and equipment are amortized over their estimated useful lives at the following rates and methods:

 

Warehouse equipment

     20   declining balance method

Motor vehicles

     30   declining balance method

Computer equipment

     30   declining balance method

Office equipment

     20   declining balance method

Leasehold improvements

     5 years      straight line method

Long term investments

Long term investments are stated at cost. The investments are reduced to reflect any permanent impairment in value.

Future income taxes

Income taxes are reported using the future income tax method. Current income tax expense is the estimated income taxes payable for the current year after any refunds or the use of losses incurred in previous years. Future income taxes reflect:

 

   

the temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for accounting purposes and the amounts used for tax purposes;

 

   

the benefit of unutilized tax losses that will more likely than not be realized and carried forward to future years to reduce income taxes.

Future income taxes are estimated using the rates enacted by tax law and those substantively enacted for the years in which future income tax assets are likely to be realized, or future income tax liabilities settled. The effect of a change in tax rates on future income tax assets and liabilities is included in earnings in the period when the change is substantively enacted.

Foreign currency translation

Assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses have been translated to the currency of Canada using the following exchange rates:

 

  i. Cash, accounts receivable and accounts payable and accrued liabilities - at the rate in effect on the balance sheet date;

 

  ii. Inventory - at the average rate in effect during the period; and

 

  iii. Revenues and expenses - at the average rate in effect during the period.

Gains and losses on translation are included in income.

1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

 

Revenue recognition

Sales are recognized when the products are shipped and title passes to the customer.

 

2. FIRST TIME ADOPTION OF CANADIAN ACCOUNTING STANDARDS FOR PRIVATE ENTERPRISES

During the year the company adopted Canadian accounting standards for private enterprises. These financial statements are the first prepared in accordance with these standards. The adoption of these standards did not require restatement of the balance sheet, income statement or opening retained earnings as there were no accounting changes.

 

3. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

The company is exposed to various risks through its financial instruments. The following analysis provides a measure of the company’s risk exposure and concentrations at the balance sheet date.

Credit Risk

Credit risk arises from the potential that a counter party will fail to perform its obligations. The company is exposed to credit risk from customers. An allowance for doubtful accounts is established based upon factors surrounding the credit risk of specific accounts, historical trends and other information. The company has a significant number of customers which minimizes concentration of credit risk.

Currency Risk

Currency risk is the risk to the company’s earnings that arise from fluctuations of foreign exchange rates and the degree of volatility of these rates. The company is exposed to foreign currency exchange risks on cash and accounts payable held in U.S. dollars because it purchases inventory in U.S. dollars. This risk is mitigated by the company maintaining a U.S. dollar bank account and purchasing futures regarding U.S. cash.

Interest Rate Risk

Interest rate risk is the risk that the value of a financial instrument might be adversely affected by a change in the interest rates. In seeking to minimize the risks from interest rate fluctuations, the company manages exposure through its normal operating and financing activities. The company is exposed to interest rate risk primarily through fluctuations in the bank’s prime rate on its operating line of credit as reported in Note 7.

Commodity Risk

The company is exposed to fluctuations in commodity prices for fuel and oil which impact freight costs. Commodity prices are affected by many factors including supply, demand and the Canadian to U.S. dollar exchange rate. The company had no financial hedges or price commodity contracts in place at year end.

3. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS (continued)

 

Liquidity Risk

The company’s exposure to liquidity risk is dependent on the sale of inventory, collection of accounts receivable, purchasing commitments and obligations or raising of funds to meet commitments and sustain operations. The company controls liquidity risk by management of working capital, cash flows and the availability of borrowing facilities.

6. LONG TERM INVESTMENTS

The investment consists of shares and debentures in a U.S. private company which acts as a buying group for the purchase of tires by wholesale distributors. The investment does not represent a significant influence in the company and accordingly is recorded at cost. Interest is paid annually on the debentures at a rate of 9%. The purchase of the debenture is a requirement of utilizing the purchasing services of the buying group. The debentures are redeemable at the option of the issuer at any time at an amount equal to the issue price plus any accrued interest.

14. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

Subsequent to year end the company finalized a lease agreement with a company related through common ownership. The company has agreed to lease premises in Quebec City for monthly payments of $24,250 plus operating costs and relevant sales tax until June 30, 2015 and then $27,556 plus operating costs and relevant sales tax until the expiry of the agreement on June 30, 2020. This lease is not reflected in Note 13 above.

On November 20, 2012, the company’s term loan with BDC as described in Note 8 was paid in full. The principal outstanding on that date was $950,000 and bonus interest and early payout penalty paid in accordance with the terms of the loan was $839,807.

On November 30, 2012, the common shares of the company were purchased by ATD Acquisition Co. V Inc. (“Canada Acquisition”), a newly formed direct wholly-owned Canadian subsidiary of American Tire Distributors, Inc. (“ATDI”), a direct wholly-owned subsidiary of American Tire Distributors Holdings, Inc. (“Holdings”). Proceeds of the sale included payment of all shareholder loans.

In connection with the acquisition on November 30, 2012, Holdings amended and restated its credit facility (as amended and restated, the “Sixth Amended and Restated Credit Agreement”) in order to provide for borrowings under the agreement by Canada Acquisition (the “Canadian Tranche”). The Canadian Tranche provides for revolving loans available only to Canada Acquisition in an aggregate amount equal to $60.0 million, subject to a Canadian borrowing base. The maturity date for the Canadian Tranche is November 16, 2017 or March 1, 2017 as determined by the outstanding aggregate principal amount of ATDI’s Senior Secured Notes on March 1, 2017. Holdings is a guarantor of Canada Acquisition’s obligations under the Canadian Tranche.

On November 30, 2012 the company ended its distribution relationship with one of its suppliers and paid all obligations due to the supplier totaling approximately $4.8 million.

 

15. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

Included in cost of sales is $3,686,543 (2010 - $nil and 2009 - $nil) of freight expense to a related company. Of this amount, $447,784 is included in accounts payable and accrued liabilities. This company is related by virtue of common shareholders. These transactions are in the normal course of operations and are measured at the exchange amount, which is the amount of consideration established and agreed to by the related parties.

1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of accounting

These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Canadian accounting standards for private enterprises (“Canadian GAAP”). Any measurement differences in accounting principles between Canadian GAAP and U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles as they apply to Triwest are not material.

Measurement uncertainty

The financial statements have been prepared by management in accordance with Canadian accounting standards for private enterprises. The precise value of many assets and liabilities is dependent on future events. As a result, the preparation of financial statements for a period involves the use of approximations which have been made using careful judgment. Actual results could differ from those approximations. The financial statements have, in management’s opinion, been properly prepared within reasonable limits of materiality and within the framework of the accounting policies summarized below.

Financial instruments

Measurement of financial instruments

The entity initially measures its financial assets and liabilities at fair value, except for certain non arm’s length transactions. The entity subsequently measures all its financial assets and financial liabilities at amortized cost. Financial assets measured at amortized cost include accounts receivable and long term investments. Financial liabilities measured at amortized cost include the bank indebtedness, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, long term debt, and due to shareholder.

Impairment

Financial assets measured at cost are tested for impairment when there are indicators of impairment. The amount of the write down is recognized in net income. The previously recognized impairment loss may be reversed to the extent of the improvement, directly or by adjusting the allowance account, provided it is no greater than the amount that would have been reported at the date of the reversal had the impairment not been recognized previously. The amount of the reversal is recognized in net income.

Transaction costs

The entity recognizes its transaction costs in net income in the period incurred. However, financial instruments that will not be subsequently measured at fair value are adjusted by the transaction costs that are directly attributable to their origination, issuance or assumption.

Inventory

Inventory is valued at the lower of cost and net realizable value with cost being determined on the first in first out cost basis.

Supplier rebates and discounts are recognized when the vendor has applied them to the company’s account.

1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

 

Property, plant and equipment

Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated amortization. Property, plant and equipment are amortized over their estimated useful lives at the following rates and methods:

 

Warehouse equipment      20   declining balance method
Motor vehicles      30   declining balance method
Computer equipment      30   declining balance method
Office equipment      20   declining balance method
Leasehold improvements      5 years      straight line method

Long term investments

Long term investments are stated at cost. The investments are reduced to reflect any permanent impairment in value.

Future income taxes

Income taxes are reported using the future income tax method. Current income tax expense is the estimated income taxes payable for the current year after any refunds or the use of losses incurred in previous years. Future income taxes reflect:

 

   

the temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for accounting purposes and the amounts used for tax purposes;

 

   

the benefit of unutilized tax losses that will more likely than not be realized and carried forward to future years to reduce income taxes.

Future income taxes are estimated using the rates enacted by tax law and those substantively enacted for the years in which future income taxes assets are likely to be realized, or future income tax liabilities settled. The effect of a change in tax rates on future income tax assets and liabilities is included in earnings in the period when the change is substantively enacted.

Foreign currency translation

Assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses have been translated to the currency of Canada using the following exchange rates:

 

  i. Cash, accounts receivable and accounts payable and accrued liabilities - at the rate in effect on the balance sheet date;

 

  ii. Inventory - at the average rate in effect during the period; and

 

  iii. Revenues and expenses - at the average rate in effect during the period.

Gains and losses on translation are included in income.

1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

 

Revenue recognition

Sales are recognized when the products are shipped and title passes to the customer.

 

2. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

The company is exposed to various risks through its financial instruments. The following analysis provides a measure of the company’s risk exposure and concentrations at the balance sheet date.

Credit Risk

Credit risk arises from the potential that a counter party will fail to perform its obligations. The company is exposed to credit risk from customers. An allowance for doubtful accounts is established based upon factors surrounding the credit risk of specific accounts, historical trends and other information. The company has a significant number of customers which minimizes concentration of credit risk.

Currency Risk

Currency risk is the risk to the company’s earnings that arise from fluctuations of foreign exchange rates and the degree of volatility of these rates. The company is exposed to foreign currency exchange risks on cash and accounts payable held in U.S. dollars because it purchases inventory in U.S. dollars. This risk is mitigated by the company maintaining a U.S. dollar bank account and purchasing futures regarding U.S. cash.

Interest Rate Risk

Interest rate risk is the risk that the value of a financial instrument might be adversely affected by a change in the interest rates. In seeking to minimize the risks from interest rate fluctuations, the company manages exposure through its normal operating and financing activities. The company is exposed to interest rate risk primarily through fluctuations in the bank’s prime rate on its operating line of credit as reported in Note 7.

Commodity Risk

The company is exposed to fluctuations in commodity prices for fuel and oil which impact freight costs. Commodity prices are affected by many factors including supply, demand and the Canadian to U.S. dollar exchange rate. The company had no financial hedges or price commodity contracts in place at September 30, 2012.

Liquidity Risk

The company’s exposure to liquidity risk is dependent on the sale of inventory, collection of accounts receivable, purchasing commitments and obligations or raising of funds to meet commitments and sustain operations. The company controls liquidity risk by management of working capital, cash flows and the availability of borrowing facilities.

5. LONG TERM INVESTMENTS

The investment consists of shares and debentures in a U.S. private company which acts as a buying group for the purchase of tires by wholesale distributors. The investment does not represent a significant influence in the company and accordingly is recorded at cost. Interest is paid annually on the debentures at a rate of 9%. The purchase of the debenture is a requirement of utilizing the purchasing services of the buying group. The debentures are redeemable at the option of the issuer at any time at an amount equal to the issue price plus any accrued interest. No changes in the investment occurred during the nine months ended September 30, 2012 and the current market value is unavailable.

American Tire Distributors Holdings, Inc.

Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Financial Statements

On November 30, 2012, American Tire Distributors, Inc. (“ATDI”), a direct wholly-owned subsidiary of American Tire Distributors Holdings, Inc (“Holdings” or the “Company”), and ATD Acquisition Co. V Inc. (“Canada Acquisition”), a newly-formed direct wholly-owned Canadian subsidiary of ATDI, entered into a Share Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with 1278104 Alberta Inc. (“Seller”), Triwest Trading (Canada) Ltd., a wholly-owned subsidiary of Seller (“Triwest”) and certain shareholders of Seller pursuant to which Canada Acquisition agreed to acquire from Seller all of the issued and outstanding common shares of Triwest along with an outstanding loan owed to Seller by Triwest (the “Acquisition”) for approximately $97.5 million, subject to certain post-closing adjustments, including, but not limited to, working capital adjustments. As a result of the Acquisition, Triwest became a direct wholly-owned subsidiary of Canada Acquisition. Triwest (dba: TriCan Tire Distibutors) is a wholesale distributor of tires, tire parts, tire accessories and related equipment in Canada with 15 distribution centers stretching across the country.

The Acquisition was completed on November 30, 2012 and funded through the Company’s ABL Facility. Prior to the closing of the Acquisition, Holdings received a cash contribution of $60.0 million from its parent, which it used to reduce amounts then outstanding under its ABL Facility. The cash contribution was funded from the proceeds of the sale by Accelerate Parent Corp., Holdings’ indirect parent, of common stock to affiliates of TPG Capital L.P. and certain co-investors.

In connection with the Acquisition, on November 30, 2012, Holdings amended and restated its ABL Facility (as amended and restated, the “Sixth Amended and Restated Credit Agreement”) in order to provide for borrowings under the agreement by Canada Acquisition (the “Canadian Tranche”). The Canadian Tranche provides for revolving loans available only to Canada Acquisition in an aggregate amount equal to $60.0 million, subject to a Canadian borrowing base. The maturity date for the Canadian Tranche is November 16, 2017, or March 1, 2017, as determined by the outstanding aggregate principal amount of ATDI’s Senior Secured Notes on March 1, 2017. Holdings is a guarantor of Canada Acquisition’s obligations under the Canadian Tranche.

The Company’s fiscal year is based on either a 52- or 53 week period ending on the Saturday closest to each December 31. Triwest’s fiscal year ends on December 31. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements herein are based upon the historical consolidated financial statements of the Company and Triwest and have been prepared to illustrate the effects of the Acquisition. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet as of September 29, 2012 gives effect to the Acquisition as if it had occurred on September 29, 2012, and includes only factually supportable adjustments that are directly attributable to the Acquisition regardless of whether they have a continuing impact or are nonrecurring. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined statements of operations for the nine months ended September 29, 2012 and the year ended December 31, 2011 give effect to the Acquisition as if it had occurred on January 2, 2011 (the first day of the Company’s 2011 fiscal year), and includes only factually supportable adjustments that are directly attributable to the Acquisition and expected to have a continuing effect.

The Acquisition has been accounted for using the acquisition method of accounting in accordance with current accounting guidance for business combinations and non-controlling interest. As a result, the total purchase price has been preliminarily allocated to the net tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed of Triwest based on their estimated fair values. Any excess of the purchase price over the fair value of identified assets acquired and liabilities assumed is recognized as goodwill. If the fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed exceeds the fair value of the purchase price, a bargain purchase gain has occurred which is recognized in earnings on the Acquisition date. The preliminary allocation reflects management’s best estimates of fair value, which are based on key assumptions of the Acquisition, including prior acquisition experience, benchmarking of similar acquisitions and historical data. In addition, portions of the preliminary allocation are dependent upon certain valuations and other studies that have yet to commence or progress to a stage where there is sufficient information for a definitive measurement. Upon completion of detailed valuation studies and the final determination of fair value, the Company may make additional adjustments to the fair value allocation, which may differ significantly from the valuations set forth in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements.

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined statements of operations are based on estimates and assumptions, which have been made solely for the purposes of developing such pro forma information. Pro forma adjustments arising from the Acquisition are derived from the estimated fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed included in the preliminary purchase price allocation. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined statements of operations also include certain purchase accounting adjustments such as increased amortization expense on acquired intangible assets, changes in interest expense on the debt incurred to complete the Acquisition and debt repaid as part of the Acquisition as well as the tax impacts related to these adjustments. The pro forma adjustments are based upon available information and certain assumptions that the Company believes are reasonable.

Notes to Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Financial Information

 

1. Description of Transaction

On November 30, 2012, American Tire Distributors, Inc. (“ATDI”), a direct wholly-owned subsidiary of American Tire Distributors Holdings, Inc (“Holdings” or the “Company”), and ATD Acquisition Co. V Inc. (“Canada Acquisition”), a newly-formed direct wholly-owned Canadian subsidiary of ATDI, entered into a Share Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with 1278104 Alberta Inc. (“Seller”), Triwest Trading (Canada) Ltd., a wholly-owned subsidiary of Seller (“Triwest”) and certain shareholders of Seller pursuant to which Canada Acquisition agreed to acquire from Seller all of the issued and outstanding common shares of Triwest along with an outstanding loan owed to Seller by Triwest (the “Acquisition”) for approximately $97.5 million, subject to certain post-closing adjustments, including, but not limited to, working capital adjustments. As a result of the Acquisition, Triwest became a direct wholly-owned subsidiary of Canada Acquisition. Triwest (dba: TriCan Tire Distibutors) is a wholesale distributor of tires, tire parts, tire accessories and related equipment in Canada with 15 distribution centers stretching across the country.

The Acquisition was completed on November 30, 2012 and funded through the Company’s ABL Facility. Prior to the closing of the Acquisition, Holdings received a cash contribution of $60.0 million from its parent, which it used to reduce amounts then outstanding under its ABL Facility. The cash contribution was funded from the proceeds of the sale by Accelerate Parent Corp., Holdings’ indirect parent, of common stock to affiliates of TPG Capital L.P. and certain co-investors.

In connection with the Acquisition, on November 30, 2012, Holdings amended and restated its ABL Facility (as amended and restated, the “Sixth Amended and Restated Credit Agreement”) in order to provide for borrowings under the agreement by Canada Acquisition (the “Canadian Tranche”). The Canadian Tranche provides for revolving loans available only to Canada Acquisition in an aggregate amount equal to $60.0 million, subject to a Canadian borrowing base. The maturity date for the Canadian Tranche is November 16, 2017, or March 1, 2017, as determined by the outstanding aggregate principal amount of ATDI’s Senior Secured Notes on March 1, 2017. Holdings is a guarantor of Canada Acquisition’s obligations under the Canadian Tranche.

 

2. Basis of Presentation

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements herein are based upon the historical consolidated financial statements of the Company and Triwest and have been prepared to illustrate the effects of the Acquisition. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet as of September 29, 2012 gives effect to the Acquisition as if it had occurred on September 29, 2012. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined statements of operations for the nine months ended September 29, 2012 and the year ended December 31, 2011 give effect to the Acquisition as if it had occurred on January 2, 2011 (the first day of the Company’s 2011 fiscal year). Certain amounts in the Triwest consolidated financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the Company’s basis of presentation.

The historical financial statements of Triwest have been prepared in accordance with Canadian accounting standards for private enterprises (“Canadian GAAP”). Any measurement differences in accounting principles between Canadian GAAP and U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles as they apply to Triwest are not material. In addition, Triwest has historically reported its financial statements in its local currency, the Canadian dollar. In order to present the pro forma condensed combined financial statements in U.S. dollars, Triwest’s balance sheet has been translated using the spot rate on September 29, 2012 (1.0165), and each of Triwest’s statements of operations have been translated using the average rate for the applicable period (1.0000 for the nine months ended September 29, 2012 and 1.0127 for the year ended December 31, 2011).

3. Preliminary Estimated Purchase Price Allocation

The Acquisition has been accounted for using the acquisition method of accounting in accordance with current accounting guidance for business combinations and non-controlling interest. As a result, the total purchase price has been preliminarily allocated to the net tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed of Triwest based on their estimated fair values. Any excess of the purchase price over the fair value of identified assets acquired and liabilities assumed is recognized as goodwill. If the fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed exceeds the fair value of the purchase price, a bargain purchase gain has occurred which is recognized in earnings on the Acquisition date. The preliminary allocation of the purchase price, as if the Acquisition occurred on September 29, 2012, is as follows:

4. Pro Forma Adjustments

Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Balance Sheet Adjustments

The following is a summary of pro forma adjustments reflected in the Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Balance Sheet. These adjustments are based on preliminary estimates, which may change as additional information is obtained:

 

  (A) Reflects a portion of the purchase price held in escrow that has been excluded from the allocation of assets acquired and liabilities assumed as it represents contingent consideration for which the contingency has not been resolved. The contingency relates to working capital adjustments.

 

  (B) Reflects an adjustment to Triwest’s inventory to its estimated fair market value, which is the estimated selling price less the sum of (a) costs of disposal and (b) a reasonable profit margin for completing the selling effort.

 

  (C) Reflects a decrease in deferred tax assets related to the increase in the value of Triwest’s inventory and an increase in deferred tax liabilities related to the preliminary estimated fair market value of Triwest’s customer list intangible asset assuming an effective tax rate of 28.0%.

 

  (D) Based upon a preliminary valuation analysis, for the purpose of these pro forma condensed combined financial statements, the Company identified a finite-lived customer list intangible asset with an estimated fair value of $63.0 million at the Acquisition date. The preliminary fair value has been estimated using the income approach in which the after-tax cash flows are discounted to present value.

 

7


  (E) Reflects the capitalization of deferred financing costs incurred in connection with the Canadian Tranche. These costs are deferred and recognized over the term of the facility.

 

  (F) Reflects the elimination of Triwest’s debt and amount due to the prior shareholder. These amounts were paid off in connection with the Acquisition.

 

  (G) As of the Acquisition date, the Company increased its outstanding balance under its ABL Facility by $40.7 million. A reconciliation of the components is as follows:

Transaction costs

     2,925

   $ 40,725   
  

 

 

 

 

  (H) Reflects a cash contribution of $60.0 million from TPG Capital L.P. (“TPG”) and certain co-investors through the purchase of common stock in Accelerate Parent Corp., Holdings indirect parent company. TPG is a leading global private investment firm who, together with certain co-investors, indirectly owns 100% of the Company’s common stock.

 

  (I) Represents the elimination of the separate components of Triwest’s historical stockholders’ equity.

 

  (J) Reflects the payment of transaction costs related to the Acquisition, which were funded by the Company’s U.S. ABL Facility. The impact of the transaction costs have not been reflected in the Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Statement of Operations since these costs are expected to be nonrecurring in nature.

 

  (K) Reflects the estimated gain on bargain purchase (See Note 3).

Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Statement of Operations Adjustments

The following is a summary of pro forma adjustments reflected in the Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Statement of Operations. These adjustments are based on preliminary estimates, which may change as additional information is obtained:

 

  (L) Represents the estimated amortization of the finite-lived customer list intangible asset, discussed in (D) above, based upon the preliminary valuation and estimated useful life of 19 years. The estimated useful life has been determined based upon various accounting studies, historical acquisition experience, economic factors and future cash flows.

 

  (M) Represents the reversal of interest expense recognized by Triwest related to debt that was paid-off in conjunction with the Acquisition.

 

  (N) Represents the estimated increase in interest expense associated with incremental borrowings incurred on the Company’s ABL Facility to finance the Acquisition. The Company used the weighted-average interest rates for the respective periods (3.47% for the nine months ended September 29, 2012 and 2.74% for the year ended December 31, 2011). In addition, the amortization of deferred financing costs was included to determine the total increase in interest expense.

 

  (O) For purposes of the pro forma financial statements, the statutory rate of the applicable local jurisdiction of 28.0% has been used for all periods presented to calculate the tax effect associated with the pro forma adjustments. These rates are estimates and do not take into account future tax strategies that may apply to the entire Company.
