ACQUISITION OR DISPOSITION OF ASSETS. - ------- ------------------------------------- On May 30, 1997, Atrion Corporation (the "Registrant") completed the sale of all of the issued and outstanding shares of common stock of Alabama-Tennessee Natural Gas Company ("Alabama-Tennessee"), Tennessee River Intrastate Gas Company, Inc. and AlaTenn Energy Marketing Company, Inc., Alabama corporations hereinafter referred to as the "Natural Gas Subsidiaries," to Midcoast Energy Resources, Inc. (Midcoast), a Nevada corporation, pursuant to the terms of an Asset Purchase Agreement dated March 19, 1997 (the "Asset Purchase Agreement"), between the Registrant and Midcoast. The Natural Gas Subsidiaries comprised substantially all of the Registrant's natural gas operations and their assets include approximately 327 miles of natural gas pipelines and related facilities. Terms of the Disposition. - ------------------------ In consideration for the common stock of the Natural Gas Subsidiaries, Midcoast paid to the Registrant cash in the amount of $39,373,000 on May 30, 1997. Such amount is subject to adjustment depending upon the final determination of the consolidated net book value of the Natural Gas Subsidiaries as of May 29, 1997. In addition, certain annual contingent deferred payments of up to $250,000 per year are to be paid by Midcoast to the Registrant over an eight-year period beginning in 1999, with the amount paid each year to be dependent upon revenues received by Midcoast from certain gas transportation contracts. The sales price received from Midcoast was determined on the basis of arm's length negotiations between the Registrant and Midcoast following extensive discussions by the Registrant with a number of parties regarding their interest in purchasing the Natural Gas Subsidiaries and the receipt of bids from several parties. The Registrant also received an opinion from Raymond James & Associates, Inc. that the purchase price was fair, from a financial point of view, to the Registrant. At the time of the execution and delivery of the Asset Purchase Agreement and the consummation of the transactions contemplated thereby, there were no affiliations among Midcoast and its affiliates, on the one hand, and the Registrant and its affiliates, on the other hand. At the closing of the sale transaction, the Registrant, Midcoast and Alabama-Tennessee executed certain agreements pursuant to which Alabama-Tennessee granted certain license rights with respect to its rights-of-way to AlaTenn Pipeline Company, Inc., the Registrant's wholly-owned industrial gas pipeline company, and agreed to service the Registrant's gaseous oxygen pipeline for a period of two years. A copy of the Asset Purchase Agreement is included as Appendix A to the Registrant's definitive proxy statement relating to its 1997 annual meeting of stockholders and filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on April 23, 1997, and the foregoing description of certain provisions of the Asset Purchase Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby is qualified in its entirety by reference to such Appendix. 2 ITEM 7. FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND EXHIBITS. - ------- ---------------------------------- (a) Not applicable. (b) Unaudited pro forma financial information. The following unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial statements, including (i) a pro forma condensed consolidated balance sheet as of March 31, 1997 and (ii) pro forma condensed consolidated statements of income for the year ended December 31, 1996 and for the three months ended March 31, 1997, give effect to the discontinuance of the Registrant's natural gas operations, including the sale of the Natural Gas Subsidiaries as described above. Such unaudited pro forma financial statements also give effect to the discontinuance of the Registrant's other two small natural gas subsidiaries, which are presently anticipated to be sold in the next several months. Such pro forma financial statements have been derived from the Registrant's audited financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 1996, included in the Registrant's Annual Report on Form 10-K, filed with the Commission on March 27, 1997 and the unaudited financial statements as of and for the quarter ended March 31, 1997, included in the Registrant's Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, filed with the Commission on May 13, 1997. The adjustments described in the pro forma condensed consolidated balance sheet assume that the sale of the Natural Gas Subsidiaries described herein was consummated at March 31, 1997, while the adjustments described in the pro forma condensed consolidated statements of income assume that such transaction was consummated at the beginning of the periods presented. The unaudited pro forma information is provided for comparative purposes only. It does not purport to be indicative of the results that actually would have occurred if the transaction had been consummated on the dates indicated or which may be obtained in the future. The pro forma condensed consolidated statements of income do not reflect any gain from the sale of the Natural Gas Subsidiaries, nor do they reflect any interest which might be earned with the remaining proceeds from the sale after the payment of related expenses and all long-term debt. The consolidated pro forma financial information should be read in conjunction with (i) the historical consolidated financial statements and the notes related thereto and (ii) "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" included in the Registrant's Annual Report on Form 10-K for 1996 and its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 1997. 3 ATRION CORPORATION UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED BALANCE SHEET MARCH 31, 1997
