Independent Auditor’s Report

Stockholder and Board of Directors

CUI Global, Inc.

Tualatin, Oregon

Board of Directors

Bel Fuse Inc.

Jersey City, New Jersey

We have audited the accompanying balance sheet of certain business components and portions of CUI Global, Inc.’s Power and Electromechanical Business that have been acquired by Bel Fuse Inc., including: CUI, Inc. and Certain Allocations from CUI Global, Inc. (collectively, the “Business”), as defined in Note 1 to the financial statements, as of December 31, 2018, the related statements of income, changes in net parent investment, and cash flows for the year ended December 31, 2018, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the “financial statements”).

Adoption of New Accounting Standard

As discussed in Note 2 to the financial statements, the Business has changed its method for the recognition, measurement, presentation and disclosure of revenue in the year ended December 31, 2018 due to the adoption of Accounting Standards Codification 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers.

Management’s Responsibility for the Financial Statements

Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America; this includes the design, implementation, and maintenance of internal control relevant to the preparation and fair presentation 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 audit. We conducted our audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. Those standards require that we 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. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of significant 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 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 the Business as of December 31, 2018, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the year ended December 31, 2018, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Notes to Financial Statements

NATURE OF OPERATIONS AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION

Certain business components of CUI, Inc. and certain components of CUI Global, Inc.’s (“CUI Global”) or (“Parent”) Power and Electromechanical Business (collectively, the “Business”) have been carved out from CUI Global, Inc.’s consolidated financial statements. The Business has not historically constituted a separate legal group and stand-alone financial statements have not previously been prepared for the Business. A portion of corporate and CUI, Inc’s expenses that were included in CUI Global’s consolidated financial statements as well as certain assets and liabilities have been allocated in these financial statements in accordance with carve-out reporting. The accompanying financial statements present the historical financial position, results of operations and cash flows of the Business, which reflects the business activities acquired by Bel Fuse Inc. from CUI Global, Inc. and CUI, Inc. (see Note 9).

The Business (through CUI, Inc.) is a provider of power components including power supplies, transformers, converters, connectors and industrial controls for Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs).

The Business defines its product offerings as: power supply solutions, which consists of external and embedded AC-DC power supplies, DC-DC converters, and advanced power supply solutions. These offerings provide a technology architecture that addresses power and related accessories to industries as broadly ranging as consumer electronics, medical and defense, among others.

Basis of Presentation

These financial statements have been prepared on a standalone basis derived from the consolidated financial statements and related accounting records of CUI, Inc. and CUI Global, Inc. and have been prepared specifically for the purpose of facilitating the purchase of the Business, by Bel Fuse Inc. The accompanying financial statements include revenues directly generated by the Business, direct and allocated operating expenses and other costs and expenses attributable to the Business, and the assets and liabilities that management has determined are specifically attributable to or allocated to the Business. As such, the financial statements reflect the historical results of operations, financial position, and cash flows of the Business as they were historically managed and are presented in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”). The balance sheet reflects those direct and allocated assets and liabilities that represent elements of the historical financial position of the Business including assets and liabilities retained by the Parent as a consequence of the Asset Purchase Agreement with Bel Fuse Inc. The cash held by the Parent was not specifically identifiable to the Business and therefore was not allocated. Third-party debt held by the Parent has not been allocated to the Business as the Business is not a legal obligor to the debt. Intercompany transactions with CUI, Inc. and CUI Global, Inc. are considered to be settled for cash in the cash flow statement in the same period as reported by the parent. Current income taxes and allocated expenses are deemed to have been remitted to CUI Global, Inc. in the period

the related expenses were recorded. The total net effect of the assumed settlement of these items is reflected in the cash flow statement as a financing activity (net distributions to parent) and in the balance sheet within the Net Parent Investment section. Net Parent Investment represents the Business’s cumulative earnings (loss) as adjusted for assumed settlement of net distributions to Parent. A discussion of the relationship with CUI Global, Inc. and CUI, Inc., including a description of the costs allocated to the Business, is included in Note 6. The financial statements reflect allocations of expenses related to certain support functions that are provided on a centralized basis by CUI Global, Inc. These expenses and expenses of CUI, Inc. have been allocated to the Business on the basis of direct usage when identifiable, with others allocated based on relevant criteria. Management believes the assumptions underlying the financial statements, including the assumptions regarding allocation of expenses, are reasonable. Nevertheless, the financial statements may not include all of the actual expenses that would have been incurred by the Business and may not reflect the Business’s financial position, results of operations and cash flows that would have been reported if the Business had been a stand-alone entity during the period presented.

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Use of Estimates

The preparation of these financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires the Business’s management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses and allocation of expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Significant estimates include estimates used to review the Business’s goodwill and long-lived assets for impairments, allowances for uncollectible accounts, inventory valuation, and warranty reserves and expense allocations. The Business’s management bases its estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable in the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

Accounting Standards Codification (‘‘ASC’’) 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (‘‘ASC 820’’), defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value under generally accepted accounting principles in the U.S., and enhances disclosures about fair value measurements. ASC 820 describes a fair value hierarchy based on three levels of inputs, of which the first two are considered observable and the last unobservable, that may be used to measure fair value, which are the following:

●

Level 1 - Pricing inputs are quoted prices available in active markets for identical assets or liabilities as of the reporting date.

●

Level 2 - Pricing inputs are quoted for similar assets, or inputs that are observable, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term through corroboration with observable market data. Level 2 includes assets or liabilities valued at quoted prices adjusted for legal or contractual restrictions specific to these investments.

●

Level 3 - Pricing inputs are unobservable for the assets or liabilities; that is, the inputs reflect the reporting entity’s own assumptions about the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability.

The Business's management determines when a financial instrument transfers between levels based on management’s judgment of the significance of unobservable inputs used to calculate the fair value of the financial instrument.

Management believes the carrying amounts of the short-term financial instruments, including accounts receivable, prepaid expense and other assets, accounts payable, accrued liabilities, contract liabilities, and refund liabilities reflected in the accompanying balance sheet approximate fair value at December 31, 2018 due to the relatively short-term nature of these instruments.

Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Uncollectible Accounts

Accounts receivable consist of the receivables directly associated with revenue derived from product sales. An allowance for uncollectible accounts is recorded to allow for any amounts that may not be recoverable, based on an analysis of prior collection experience, customer credit worthiness and current economic trends. Based on management’s review of accounts receivable, an allowance for doubtful accounts at December 31, 2018 of $73 thousand is considered adequate. The reserve takes into account aged receivables that management believes should be specifically reserved for as well as historic experience with bad debts to determine the total reserve appropriate. Receivables are determined to be past due based on the payment terms of original invoices. The Business grants credit to its customers, with standard terms of net 30 days. The Business’s management routinely assesses the financial strength of its customers and, therefore, believes that its accounts receivable credit risk exposure is limited. Additionally, the Business maintains a foreign credit receivables insurance policy that covers many of the Business’s foreign customer receivable balances in effort to further reduce credit risk exposure.

Inventories

Inventories consist of finished products directly attributed to the Business and are stated at the lower of cost or market through the moving average cost method.

At December 31, 2018, inventory is presented on the balance sheet net of reserves. The Business’s management provides reserves for inventories estimated to be excess, obsolete or unmarketable. The Business’s estimation process for assessing the net realizable value is based upon its known backlog, projected future demand, historical usage and expected market conditions. Inventories, on the balance sheet, by category consists of:

(In thousands)	As of December 31, 2018
Finished goods	$	6,912
Inventory reserves		(460	)
Total inventories	$	6,452

Furniture and Equipment

Allocated furniture and equipment are recorded at cost and include major expenditures, which increase productivity or substantially increase useful lives.

Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method for financial reporting purposes. The estimated useful lives for furniture, and equipment are as follows:

	Estimated Useful Life
Furniture and equipment	3 to 10 years

Maintenance, repairs and minor replacements are charged to expenses when incurred. When furniture and equipment are sold or otherwise disposed of, the asset and related accumulated depreciation are removed from this account, and any gain or loss is included in the statement of income.

Allocated Long-Lived Assets

Allocated long-lived assets including finite-lived identifiable assets are periodically reviewed for impairment whenever circumstances and situations change such that there is an indication that the carrying amounts may not be recoverable. In performing the review for recoverability, the future cash flows expected to result from the use of the asset and its eventual disposition are estimated. If the sum of the expected future cash flows (undiscounted and without interest charges) is less than the carrying amount of the long-lived asset, an impairment loss is recognized as the excess of the carrying amount over the fair value. Otherwise, an impairment loss is not recognized. Management estimates the fair value and the estimated future cash flows expected. Any changes in these estimates could impact whether there was impairment and the amount of the impairment.

Allocated Identifiable Intangible Assets

Allocated intangible assets are stated at cost net of accumulated amortization and impairment. The fair value for intangible assets acquired through acquisitions is measured at the time of acquisition utilizing the following inputs, as needed:

1. Inputs used to measure fair value are unadjusted quote prices available in active markets for the identical assets or liabilities if available.

2. Inputs used to measure fair value, other than quoted prices included in 1, are either directly or indirectly observable as of the reporting date through correlation with market data, including quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets and quoted prices in inactive markets. This includes assets and liabilities valued using models or other pricing methodologies that do not require significant judgment since the input assumptions used in the models, such as interest rates and volatility factors, are corroborated by readily observable data from actively quoted markets for substantially the full life of the asset.

3. Inputs used to measure fair value are unobservable inputs supported by little or no market activity and reflect the use of significant management judgment. These values are generally determined using pricing models for which the assumptions utilize management’s estimates of market participant assumptions.

4. Expert appraisal and fair value measurement as completed by third-party experts.

The following are the estimated useful lives for intangible assets:

	Estimated Useful Life
Finite-lived intangible assets
Trade name – V-Infinity	5 years
Technology rights	20 years
Product certifications - CUI, Inc.	3 years
Other intangible assets	See endnote ⁽¹⁾

Indefinite-lived intangible assets
Trade name	See endnote ⁽²⁾
Customer list	See endnote ⁽²⁾

⁽¹⁾ Other intangible assets are amortized over an appropriate useful life, as determined by management in relation to the other intangible asset characteristics.

⁽²⁾ Indefinite-lived intangible assets are reviewed annually for impairment and when circumstances suggest.

Indefinite-Lived Intangibles and Goodwill Assets

The Business accounts for business combinations under the acquisition method of accounting in accordance with ASC 805, Business Combinations, where the total purchase price is allocated to the tangible and identified intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their estimated fair values. The purchase price is allocated using the information currently available, and may be adjusted, up to one year from acquisition date, after obtaining more information regarding, among other things, asset valuations, liabilities assumed and revisions to preliminary estimates. The purchase price in excess of the fair value of the tangible and identified intangible assets acquired less liabilities assumed is recognized as goodwill.

Annual Test. The Parent tests for impairment of indefinite-lived intangibles and Goodwill, which includes the amounts that were allocated to the Business, in the second quarter of each year and whenever events or circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of Goodwill or indefinite-lived intangibles exceeds their fair value and may not be recoverable. A qualitative assessment for indefinite-lived assets at May 31, 2018, followed the guidance in ASC 350-30-35-18A and 18B. The Parent performed a qualitative analysis of goodwill and a qualitative analysis of its indefinite-lived intangibles as of May 31, 2018 and determined there was no impairment of allocated indefinite-lived intangibles and goodwill. In addition, management has concluded that the fair value of the Business’s indefinite-lived intangibles and goodwill exceeded the related carrying values at December 31, 2018 and determined that there was no impairment at that date.

Accrued expenses

Accrued expenses are liabilities that reflect expenses on the statement of income that have not been paid or recorded in accounts payable at the end of the period. At December 31, 2018, direct and allocated accrued expenses consisted of the following:

(In thousands)
Accrued Inventory	$	897
Accrued commissions		230
Accrued payroll and payroll taxes		157
Total	$	1,284

Defined Contribution Plans

CUI, Inc. has a 401(k) retirement savings plan that allows employees to contribute to the plan after they have completed two months of service and are 18 years of age. CUI, Inc. matches the employee’s contribution up to 6% of total compensation. CUI, Inc. made employer contributions, net of forfeitures of $0.2 million that were allocated to the Business for 2018.

Revenue Recognition

On January 1, 2018, the Parent and accordingly, the Business adopted the new accounting standard ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, and all the related amendments (“new revenue standard"), which supersedes nearly all existing revenue recognition guidance

under U.S. GAAP. This guidance includes the required steps to achieve the core principle that a company should recognize revenue when it transfers promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the company expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. The new revenue standard was applied using the modified retrospective method. The Business recognized the cumulative effect of initially applying the new revenue standard as an adjustment to Net Parent Investment as of January 1, 2018. As a result of the adoption of this standard, certain changes have been made to the balance sheets. The Business expects the ongoing impact of the adoption of the new standard to primarily affect the timing of revenue recognition. The most significant impact was on revenue with certain distribution customers that was previously recorded as “sell through.” Under the new accounting guidance, the Business records the revenue upon sale to the distributor with an appropriate amount reserved for estimated returns and allowances as the Business recognizes revenue at the time the related performance obligation is satisfied by transferring a promised good or service to its customers. Revenue is based upon the transfer of goods and satisfaction of its performance obligations as of a point in time. During the transition, this had the effect of having a certain amount of revenue not recorded as revenue but as part of the cumulative effect of the accounting change. The cumulative effect adjustment recorded as of January 1, 2018 was a net $1.1 million increase to Net Parent Investment that was net of a $0.4 million tax effect.

The Business recognized the cumulative effect of initially applying ASC 606 as an adjustment to Net Parent Investment in the balance sheet as of January 1, 2018 as follows:

The adoption of ASC 606 had no impact on the Business’s cash flows from operations.

Revenue is recognized when the Business satisfies a performance obligation, and this occurs upon shipment and ownership transfer of the Business's products to the Business's customers at a point in time.

Accounts Receivable and Contract Liabilities

Accounts receivable are recognized in the period when the Business’s right to consideration is unconditional. Accounts receivable are recognized net of an allowance for doubtful accounts. A considerable amount of judgment is required in assessing the likelihood of realization of receivables.

The timing of revenue recognition may differ from the timing of invoicing to customers. Contract liabilities include advanced payments from the Business’s customers on certain contracts. Contract liabilities decrease as the Business recognizes revenue from the satisfaction of the related performance obligation and are recorded as either current or long-term, depending upon when the Business expects to recognize such revenue.

Activity in the current contract liabilities for the year ended December 31, 2018 was as follows:

(In thousands)

Current contract liabilities - January 1, 2018	$	201
Contract additions, net		59
Revenue recognized		(160	)
Total contract liabilities - December 31, 2018	$	100

Refund Liabilities and Corresponding Inventory Adjustment

Refund liabilities primarily represent estimated future new product introduction returns and estimated future scrap returns. Estimated future returns and allowances are reserved based on historical return rates. In addition to the refund liabilities recorded for future returns, the Business also records an adjustment to inventory and corresponding adjustment to cost of revenue for the Business’s right to recover products from customers upon settling the refund liability.

Performance Obligations

Remaining Performance Obligations

Remaining performance obligations represents the transaction price of firm orders for which work has not been performed and excludes unexercised contract options and potential orders under ordering-type contracts. As of December 31, 2018, the Business’s remaining performance obligations are generally expected to be filled within the next 12 months.

Any adjustments to net revenues, cost of revenues, and the related impact to operating income are recognized as necessary in the period they become known. These adjustments may result from positive program performance and may result in an increase in operating income during the performance of individual performance obligations, if the Business determines that the Business will be successful in mitigating risks surrounding the technical, schedule and cost aspects of those performance obligations. Likewise, these adjustments may result in a decrease in operating income if the Business determines that the Business will not be successful in mitigating these risks. Changes in estimates of net revenues, cost of revenues and the related impact to operating

income are recognized on a cumulative catch-up basis in the period they become known. For separately priced extended warranty or product maintenance performance obligations, when estimates of total costs to be incurred on the performance obligation exceed total estimates of revenue to be earned, a provision for the entire loss on the performance obligation is recognized in the period the loss is determined.

Performance Obligations Satisfied at a Point in Time

Revenue from goods and services transferred to customers at a single point in time accounted for 100% of revenues for the year ended December 31, 2018. Revenue on these contracts is recognized when the product is shipped and the customer takes ownership of the product. Determination of ownership and control transfer is determined by shipping terms delineated on the customer purchase orders.

Variable Consideration

The nature of the Business’s contracts gives rise to several types of variable consideration, including new product introduction returns and scrap return allowances. The Business includes new product introduction and scrap return estimates in the Business’s calculation of net revenue when there is a basis to reasonably estimate the amount of the returns. These estimates are based on historical return experience, anticipated returns and the Business’s best judgment at the time. These amounts are included in the Business’s calculation of net revenue recorded for the Business’s contracts and the associated remaining performance obligations.

The following table presents the Business’s revenues disaggregated by revenue source for the year ended December 31, 2018:

(In thousands)

Distributor sales	$	26,031
Direct sales		14,210

(In thousands)

USA	$	40,241

Shipping and Handling Costs

Amounts billed to customers in sales transactions related to shipping and handling represent revenues earned for the goods provided and are included in revenues and were approximately $14 thousand for the year ended December 31, 2018. The Business expenses inbound shipping and handling costs as cost of revenues.

Advertising

The costs incurred for producing and communicating advertising are charged to income as incurred. Allocated advertising expense for the year ended December 31, 2018 was $0.8 million. In addition to these advertising costs, the Business also incurs advertising related costs for advertising completed in partnership with the Business’s distributors. These costs are offset against revenues. During 2018, the allocated advertising costs offset against revenues was $0.3 million.

Income Taxes

Income taxes are accounted for under the asset and liability method of FASB Accounting Standards Codification No. 740 (‘‘FASB ASC 740’’), Income Taxes. Under FASB ASC 740, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized as income in the period that includes the enactment date. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance to the extent that management believes it is more likely than not that such deferred tax assets will not be realized.

The Business prepared the financial statement income tax provision and associated deferred tax assets and liabilities as if it were a standalone entity. Any required income tax payable and/or receivable amounts are recorded as a component of net distributions to parent included in the Net Parent Investment.

The income tax expense consists of current and deferred taxes. Income tax expense is recognized in the statement of income.

The Business does not file separate tax returns as it is included in the consolidated tax reporting of CUI Global, Inc. Accordingly, the income tax provision for the Business included in these financial statements was calculated using a method consistent with a separate return basis.

COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Legal Matters

The Business may be involved in certain legal actions arising from the ordinary course of business. While it is not feasible to predict or determine the outcome of these matters, the Business’s management does not anticipate that any of these matters, or these matters in the aggregate, will have a material adverse effect on the financial position or results of operations.

Commissions, Royalty and License Fee Agreements

Royalty and license fees are paid in accordance with their related agreements, either on a monthly or quarterly basis. As of December 31, 2018, $8 thousand was accrued for royalty and license fees payable, and is reported as a current liability in accounts payable.

CUI, Inc. executed a sale-leaseback transaction of its Tualatin, OR headquarters facility in December of 2018. There was $9 thousand of allocated rent expense associated with this lease in 2018, and the Business’s allocated portion of the monthly rent expense and common area maintenance (“CAM”) charges in 2019 will be approximately $30 thousand per month. The Business is not a legal obligor on the lease.

Allocated rental expense was $13 thousand in 2018 and is included in selling, general and administrative expense on the statement of income.

Collateral

The Business’s accounts receivable and inventory were held as collateral on CUI Inc.’s line of credit. The line of credit is not allocated to the Business as it is not a legal obligor to the debt.

NET PARENT INVESTMENT AND EXPENSE ALLOCATION

CUI Global, Inc. provides certain management and administrative services to the portion of CUI, Inc. included in the Business. An allocation of the costs of such services as well as allocation of certain CUI, Inc. expenses are reflected in appropriate categories in the accompanying statement of income for the year ended December 31, 2018. In addition, an allocation of certain assets and liabilities of CUI Global, Inc. and CUI Inc. related to the Business has been allocated in the accompanying balance sheet as of December 31, 2018. These allocations have been made to reflect the financial statements of the Business as if it had been a standalone entity. Management believes these allocations are reasonable and have been reflected as net distributions to parent in the Net Parent Investment (see Note 1).

INCOME TAXES

The Business is included in the consolidated income tax return of CUI Global, Inc. Accordingly, the Business prepared its income tax provision and associated deferred tax assets and liabilities as if it was a stand-alone entity for tax purposes. Any required current income tax payable and/or receivable amounts for the Business are recorded as net distributions to Parent in the Net Parent Investment.

The Parent accounts for income tax uncertainties using a threshold of “more-likely-than-not” in accordance with the provisions of ASC Topic 740, Income Taxes (“ASC 740”). As of December 31, 2018, the Parent has reviewed all of its tax filings and positions taken on its returns and has not identified any material current or future effect on its results of operations, cash flows or financial position. As such, the Business has not recorded any tax, penalties or interest on tax uncertainties. It is Business policy to record any interest on tax uncertainties as a component of income tax expense.

Notes to Unaudited Condensed Financial Statements

NATURE OF OPERATIONS AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION

Certain business components of CUI, Inc. and certain components of CUI Global, Inc.’s (“CUI Global”) or (“Parent”) Power and Electromechanical Business (collectively, the "Business") have been carved out from CUI Global, Inc.’s consolidated financial statements. The Business has not historically constituted a separate legal group and stand-alone financial statements have not previously been prepared for the Business. A portion of corporate expenses and CUI, Inc.’s expenses that were included in CUI Global’s consolidated financial statements as well as certain assets and liabilities have been allocated in these condensed financial statements in accordance with carve-out reporting. The accompanying condensed financial statements present the historical financial position, results of operations and cash flows of the Business, which reflects the business activities acquired by Bel Fuse Inc. from CUI Global, Inc. and CUI, Inc. (see Note 6).

The Business (through CUI, Inc.) is a provider of power components including power supplies, transformers, converters, connectors and industrial controls for Original Equipment Manufacturers (“OEMs”).

Basis of Presentation

These condensed financial statements have been prepared on a standalone basis derived from the consolidated financial statements and related accounting records of CUI, Inc. and CUI Global, Inc. and have been prepared specifically for the purpose of facilitating the purchase of the Business, by Bel Fuse Inc. The accompanying condensed financial statements include revenues directly generated by the Business, direct and allocated operating expenses and other costs and expenses attributable to the Business, and the assets and liabilities that management has determined are specifically attributable to or allocated to the Business. As such, the condensed financial statements reflect the historical results of operations, financial position, and cash flows of the Business as they were historically managed and are presented in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”). The balance sheet reflects those direct and allocated assets and liabilities that represent elements of the historical financial position of the Business including assets and liabilities retained by the Parent as a consequence of the Asset Purchase Agreement with Bel Fuse Inc. The cash held by the Parent was not specifically identifiable to the Business and therefore was not allocated. Third-party debt held by the Parent has not been allocated to the Business as the Business is not a legal obligor to the debt. Intercompany transactions with CUI, Inc. and CUI Global, Inc. are considered to be

settled for cash in the cash flow statement in the same period as reported by the Parent. Current income taxes and allocated expenses are deemed to have been remitted to CUI Global, Inc. in the period the related expenses were recorded. The total net effect of the assumed settlement of these items is reflected in the cash flow statement as a financing activity (net distributions to Parent) and in the balance sheet within the Net Parent Investment section. Net Parent Investment represents the Business’s cumulative earnings (loss) as adjusted for assumed settlement of net distributions to Parent. A discussion of the relationship with CUI Global, Inc., and CUI, Inc. including a description of the costs allocated to the Business, is included in Note 4. The condensed financial statements reflect allocations of expenses related to certain support functions that are provided on a centralized basis by CUI Global, Inc. These expenses and expenses of CUI, Inc. have been allocated to the Business on the basis of direct usage when identifiable, with others allocated based on relevant criteria. Management believes the assumptions underlying the condensed financial statements, including the assumptions regarding allocation of expenses, are reasonable. Nevertheless, the condensed financial statements may not include all of the actual expenses that would have been incurred by the Business and may not reflect the Business’s financial position, results of operations and cash flows that would have been reported if the Business had been a stand-alone entity during the period presented.

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The accompanying interim unaudited condensed financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for interim financial information, which includes condensed financial statements. Accordingly, they do not include all the information and notes necessary for a comprehensive presentation of financial position and results of operations and should be read in conjunction with the Business’s audited financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2018. The Business’s significant accounting policies are summarized in Note 2 of the Business’s audited financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2018 included elsewhere in this Form 8-K. There were no significant changes to these accounting policies during the nine months ended September 30, 2019. The following disclosures have been condensed for the unaudited condensed financial statements presented.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of these condensed financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires the Business’s management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the condensed financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses and allocation of expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Significant estimates include estimates used to review the Business’s goodwill and long-lived assets for impairments, allowances for uncollectible accounts, inventory valuation, and warranty reserves and expense allocations. The

Business’s management bases its estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable in the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

●

Level 1 - Pricing inputs are quoted prices available in active markets for identical assets or liabilities as of the reporting date.

●

The Business determines when a financial instrument transfers between levels based on management’s judgment of the significance of unobservable inputs used to calculate the fair value of the financial instrument.

Management believes the carrying amounts of the short-term financial instruments, including, accounts receivable, prepaid expense and other assets, accounts payable, accrued liabilities, contract liabilities, refund liabilities, and other liabilities reflected in the accompanying condensed balance sheet approximate fair value at September 30, 2019, due to the relatively short-term nature of these instruments.

Inventories

Inventories consist of finished products directly attributed to the Business and are stated at the lower of cost or market through the moving average cost method.

COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Legal Matters

The Business may be involved in certain legal actions arising from the ordinary course of business. While it is not feasible to predict or determine the outcome of these matters, the Business does not anticipate that any of these matters, or these matters in the aggregate, will have a material adverse effect on the financial position or results of operations.

Leases

The Business has been allocated rental expense of approximately $360 thousand, including common area charges, from the Parent included in selling, general and administrative expense on the condensed statement of income. The Business is not a legal obligor on the lease.

NET PARENT INVESTMENT AND EXPENSE ALLOCATION

CUI Global, Inc. provides certain management and administrative services to the portion of CUI, Inc. included in the Business. An allocation of the costs of such services as well as allocation of certain CUI, Inc. expenses are reflected in appropriate categories in the accompanying condensed statement of income for the nine months ended September 30, 2019. In addition, an allocation of certain assets and liabilities of CUI Global, Inc. and CUI Inc. related to the Business has been allocated in the accompanying condensed balance sheet as of September 30, 2019. These allocations have been made to reflect the condensed financial statements of the Business as if it had been a standalone entity. Management believes these allocations are reasonable and have been reflected as net distributions to Parent in the Net Parent Investment (see Note 1).

INCOME TAXES

The Parent accounts for income tax uncertainties using a threshold of "more-likely-than-not" in accordance with the provisions of ASC Topic 740, Income Taxes ("ASC 740"). As of September 30, 2019, the Parent has reviewed all of its tax filings and positions taken on its returns and has not identified any material current or future effect on its results of operations, cash flows or financial position. As such, the Business has not recorded any tax, penalties or interest on tax uncertainties. It is Business policy to record any interest on tax uncertainties as a component of income tax expense.

SUBSEQUENT EVENT

The Business has evaluated subsequent events from the condensed balance sheet date through February 13, 2020, the date at which the condensed financial statements were available to be issued and noted the following:

Exhibit 99.2

UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

On December 3, 2019, Bel Fuse Inc., a New Jersey corporation (“Bel”, the “Company”, “we”, or “our”) completed its acquisition of the majority of the power supply products business of CUI Inc. (“CUI Power”) from CUI, Inc. and CUI Global Inc. (collectively, the “Seller”). Bel paid approximately $29.2 million in cash on a cash and debt-free basis, after working capital adjustments. The acquisition was funded through incremental borrowings under the Company’s existing revolving credit facility.

The following unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet as of September 30, 2019 and statements of operations for the year ended December 31, 2018 and for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2019, give effect to our acquisition of CUI Power and the incremental borrowings incurred to fund the acquisition. The historical consolidated financial information has been adjusted in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined statements of operations to give effect to or remove the effect of events that are (1) directly attributable to the CUI Power acquisition, (2) factually supportable, and (3) expected to have a continuing impact on our results. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined statements of operations do not reflect any of Bel management’s expectations for revenue enhancements, cost savings from the combined companies’ operating efficiencies, synergies or other restructurings, or the costs and related liabilities that would be incurred to achieve such revenue enhancements, cost savings from operating efficiencies, synergies or restructurings, which could result from the CUI Power acquisition.

The following pro forma financial information is based on our historical consolidated financial statements and the historical carve-out financial statements of the acquired CUI Power business and is intended to provide you with information about how the CUI Power transaction might have affected our historical consolidated statement of operations if it had closed as of January 1, 2018.

The pro forma financial information below is based on available information and assumptions that we believe are reasonable. The pro forma financial information is for illustrative and informational purposes only and is not intended to represent or be indicative of what our results of operations would have been had the transaction described above occurred on the date indicated. The pro forma financial information also should not be considered representative of our future financial condition or results of operations.

NOTES TO UNAUDITED PRO FORMA FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1.	Basis of Pro Forma Presentation

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined statements of operations have been prepared using the historical consolidated financial statements of Bel and the historical combined carve-out financial statements of CUI Power. Because we now control CUI Power, we have applied acquisition accounting as if the acquisition had closed as of January 1, 2018. Our preliminary purchase price has been allocated to the CUI Power assets and liabilities based on current estimates and currently available information and is subject to revision based on final determinations of fair value and the final allocation of purchase price to the assets and liabilities of CUI Power. Purchase accounting adjustments are further described in Note 2 below.

In addition to presenting Bel’s operations as reported in our historical financial statements, our unaudited condensed combined pro forma statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2018 includes the combined results of CUI Power for the year ended December 31, 2018. We believe presenting these combined results is useful in illustrating the presentation of our pro forma condensed combined statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2018.

2.	Conformity Adjustments

Certain reclassifications have been made to the historical presentation of CUI Power to conform to the presentation used in our condensed consolidated statements of operations and the unaudited pro forma financial information as follows (dollars in thousands):

3.	Transaction-Related Adjustments

Represents receipt of the working capital adjustment of $2.8 million from CUI Global Inc., cash savings on lower salaries and benefits of $1.6 million and lower cash paid for income taxes of $0.8 million; offset by additional interest payments of $2.3 million and payment of acquisition-related costs of $0.2 million.

Represents Bel’s adoption of ASU 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842) effective January 1, 2019. The adoption of ASU 2016-02 was not applicable in the CUI Power historical financials, as that business was not the obligor on any lease agreement. Upon Bel’s acquisition of CUI Power, Bel entered into a lease agreement for the building in Tualatin, Oregon and as such, recorded the related right-of-use asset and current and long-term operating lease liability in the accompanying pro forma balance sheet related to this lease.

Represents the reversal of CUI Power’s historical book value of intangibles and goodwill, and the addition of Bel’s fair value estimate of the acquired CUI tradename of $6.5 million and acquired customer relationships at an estimated fair value of $10.5 million (as reduced by accumulated amortization for the year ended December 31, 2018 and 9 months ended September 30, 2019 in the aggregate amount of $1.4 million). This adjustment amount also includes the preliminary estimate of goodwill related to the CUI Power acquisition of $10.1 million as of the September 30, 2019 balance sheet date.

Represents the incremental amount borrowed from the Company’s existing resolving credit facility to fund the acquisition of CUI Power.

Represents reversal of historical CUI Power net parent investment balance, and inclusion of impact to net earnings on pro forma adjustments during the year ended December 31, 2018 and the nine months ended September 30, 2019.

Represents Bel’s purchase accounting adjustment for estimated incremental amortization expense of $0.5 million for each the year ended December 31, 2018 and the nine-month period ended September 30, 2019 resulting from the reversal of CUI Power’s historical amortization and the inclusion of Bel’s amortization related to $10.5 million of estimated fair value of CUI Power customer relationships acquired by Bel. This finite-lived intangible asset is amortized on a straight-line basis over an estimated useful life of 13 years. Also represents $0.2 million of acquisition-related costs during the year ended December 31, 2018.

Represents an adjustment related to salaries and benefit expenses included in the carve-out financials as compared to the census of employees actually acquired by Bel. These expenses in the historical CUI Power financials were based upon a percentage of sales allocation among various divisions at CUI Global Inc. versus actual expenses related to the census of employees acquired by Bel. This adjustment amounted to a reduction in expense of $0.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2018 and $0.7 million for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2019.

Represents net increases in interest expense of $1.3 million during the year ended December 31, 2018 and $1.0 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2019 related to incremental borrowings of $32.0 million to fund the acquisition of CUI Power. The interest rates utilized in this calculation represent the weighted-average interest rate in effect during the applicable periods on the Company’s existing credit agreement of 3.95% during the year ended December 31, 2018 and 4.14% during the nine months ended September 30, 2019. An increase in the interest rate by 1/8 percent would result in an increase in interest expense of less than $0.1 million during each period, as compared to the interest expense amounts depicted above.

As the CUI Power income before taxes would be included in Bel’s consolidated federal income tax returns, a 23% tax rate has been utilized for the CUI Power historical income before taxes as well as on the pro forma adjustments.

4.	Items Not Adjusted in Unaudited Pro Forma Financial Information

We have not adjusted the carrying value of property, plant and equipment on the September 30, 2019 balance sheet or depreciation expense related to property, plant and equipment during the year ended December 31, 2018 or during the nine-month period ended September 30, 2019, as such amounts are immaterial. The historical statement of operations for CUI Power for the periods presented already include depreciation expense and we believe that any difference in Bel’s calculation would be immaterial.
