ACQUISITION OF DNP PHOTOMASK TECHNOLOGY TAIWAN CO., LTD. [Abstract]

ACQUISITION OF DNP PHOTOMASK TECHNOLOGY TAIWAN CO., LTD.

NOTE 2 – ACQUISITION OF DNP PHOTOMASK TECHNOLOGY TAIWAN CO., LTD.

On April 4, 2014, DPTT merged into PSMC, the Company’s IC manufacturing subsidiary located in Taiwan, to form PDMC. Throughout this report the merger of DPTT into PSMC is referred to as the “DPTT Acquisition.” In connection with the DPTT Acquisition, the Company transferred consideration with a fair value of $41.0 million. The Company owns 50.01 percent of PDMC and includes its financial results in its consolidated financial statements, while DNP owns the remaining 49.99 percent of PDMC. The DPTT Acquisition was the result of the Company’s desire to combine the strengths in logic and memory photomask technologies of PSMC and DPTT in order to enhance its capability with customers in the region.

The DPTT Acquisition met the conditions of a business combination as defined by Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 805 and, as such, is accounted for under ASC 805 using the acquisition method of accounting. ASC 805 defines the three elements of a business as Input, Process and Output. As a result of the DPTT Acquisition, Photronics acquired the machinery and equipment utilized in the processes to manufacture product, the building that houses the entire operation and the processes needed to manufacture the product, all previously owned by DPTT. The former DPTT employees hired by Photronics in connection with the acquisition brought with them the skills, experience and know-how necessary to provide the operational processes that, when applied to the acquired assets, represent processes being applied to inputs to create outputs. Having met all three elements of a business as defined in ASC 805, the Company determined that the DPTT Acquisition should be accounted for as a business acquisition.

The following table summarizes the provisional fair values of assets acquired and liabilities assumed of DPTT, the fair value of the noncontrolling interests and consideration for DPTT at the acquisition date. These provisional amounts could change as a result of the ultimate realization of the acquired net working capital.

Cash and cash equivalents	$	4,508
Accounts receivable (gross amount of $28,560, of which $500 is expected to be uncollectable)		28,060
Inventory		1,279
Deferred tax asset		9,787
Other current assets		11,517
Property, plant and equipment		95,431
Identifiable intangible assets		1,552
Other long-term assets		1,328
Accounts payable and accrued expenses		(32,410	)
Deferred tax liability		(3,042	)
Other long-term liabilities		(3,291	)
Total net assets acquired		114,719
Noncontrolling interests retained by DNP		57,348
		57,371
Consideration – 49.99% of fair value of PSMC		40,999
Gain on acquisition	$	16,372

In addition to recording the fair values of the net assets acquired, the Company also recorded a gain on acquisition of $16.4 million in the condensed consolidated statement of income within other income (expense) in accordance with ASC 805 using the acquisition method of accounting. The gain on acquisition was primarily due to the difference between the market values of the acquired real estate and personal property exceeding the fair value of the consideration transferred. In addition, a deferred tax liability of $3.0 million was recorded in the opening balance sheet, which had the effect of reducing the gain on acquisition to $16.4 million. Prior to recording the gain, the Company reassessed whether it had correctly identified all of the assets acquired and all of the liabilities assumed. Additionally, the Company also reviewed the procedures used to measure the amounts of the identifiable assets acquired, liabilities assumed and consideration transferred.

The fair value of the consideration represents 49.99 percent of the fair value of PSMC, and is based on recent prices paid by the Company to acquire outstanding shares of PSMC (prior to the acquisition). As a result of the merger, the Company acquired the net assets of DPTT having a fair value of $114.7 million, less noncontrolling interests of $57.3 million retained by DNP, and transferred consideration with a fair value of $41.0 million, resulting in a gain of $16.4 million.

The acquisition date fair value of the property, plant and equipment of DPTT was $95.4 million, which was determined by utilizing the cost and, to a lesser extent, the market approach, based on an in-use premise of value. This fair value measurement is based on significant inputs that are not observable in the market and thus represents a fair value measurement categorized within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy. Key assumptions include local and current construction replacement cost multipliers, amounts of ancillary replacement costs, physical deterioration, and economic and functional obsolescence to adjust the current replacement costs by, as well as the estimated economic lives of the assets.

Identifiable intangible assets acquired were primarily customer relationships, which represent the fair value of relationships and agreements DPTT had in place at the date of the merger, and had a fair value of $1.5 million at the acquisition date determined by using the multi-period excess earnings method and a twelve year estimated amortization period. The acquisition date fair value of the remainder of the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed were equivalent to, or did not materially differ from their carrying values.

Acquisition costs related to the merger were $2.0 million and $2.5 million for the three and six month periods ended May 4, 2014, and are included in selling, general and administrative expense in the condensed consolidated statements of income.

Revenues and net income of PDMC included in the Company’s financial results from the April 4, 2014 acquisition date through May 4, 2014, are $13.1 million and $0.4 million respectively.

On a pro forma basis, revenues, earnings and earnings per share of Photronics, Inc. and subsidiaries, calculated as though the merger had occurred as of the beginning of the earliest period presented, for the three and six month periods ended May 4, 2014 and April 28, 2013, are presented below. The pro forma earnings for the three and six month periods ended May 4, 2014, were adjusted to exclude $2.0 million and $2.5 million of the above mentioned nonrecurring acquisition related costs and the gain on acquisition of $16.4 million. Other material nonrecurring pro forma adjustments made to arrive at the below earnings amounts included the add back of additional depreciation recorded against DPTT long-lived assets of $3.4 million and $3.3 million for the three month periods ended May 4, 2014 and April 28, 2013, respectively, and $6.6 million and $6.4 million for the six month periods ended May 4, 2014 and April 28, 2013, respectively. The pro forma information presented does not purport to represent results that would have been achieved had the merger occurred as of the beginning of the earliest period presented, or to be indicative of the Company’s future financial performance.
