Independent Auditors Report
The Board of Directors
Tocris Holdings Limited:
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of Tocris Holdings Limited and subsidiaries (the Group) as of 31 December 2010, and the related consolidated profit and loss account, and consolidated cash flow statement for the year then ended. These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Companys management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated 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 of material misstatement. An audit includes consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Companys internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Group as of 31 December 2010, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the year then ended, in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United Kingdom.
Accounting principles generally accepted in the United Kingdom vary in certain significant respects from U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. Information relating to the nature of such differences is presented in note 25 to the consolidated financial statements.

1 Accounting policies
The following accounting policies have been applied consistently in dealing with items which are considered material in relation to the Groups financial statements.
Basis of preparation
These non-statutory accounts do not constitute the Groups statutory accounts for the year ended 31 December 2010 but have been prepared in order to meet the SEC filing requirements of Techne Corporation. The latest statutory accounts of the Group were for the year ended 31 December 2010. Those statutory accounts have been delivered to the Registrar of Companies (the auditors have reported on these statutory accounts; their report was unqualified and did not contain a statement under section 498(2) or (3) of the Companies Act 2006). The next statutory accounts of the Group will be prepared for the period ended 30 June 2011.
The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention and in accordance with applicable United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice (UK GAAP).
The directors have prepared the financial statements on a going concern basis for the following reasons. The directors have reviewed the cash flow forecasts for the Group for the foreseeable future and, taking account of reasonably possible changes in trading, are satisfied that the Group will be able to settle its liabilities as they fall due for payment and continue in operation for a period of at least twelve months from the date of signing of these financial statements.
Basis of consolidation
The consolidated financial statements include the financial statements of Tocris Holdings Limited and its subsidiary companies made up to 31 December 2010. The results of the subsidiaries are consolidated using the acquisition method of accounting. Under this method, the results of subsidiary companies acquired or disposed of in the year are included in the consolidated profit and loss account from the date of acquisition or up to the date of disposal.
Goodwill
Purchased goodwill (representing the excess of the fair value of the consideration given over the fair value of the separable net assets acquired) arising on business combinations and consolidation in respect of acquisitions is capitalised and amortised fully, by equal instalments over its expected useful economic life of 20 years.
Fixed assets and depreciation
Depreciation is provided to write off the cost less the estimated residual value of tangible fixed assets by equal instalments over their estimated useful economic lives as follows:
Plant and machinery | - | 10% on cost | ||
Motor vehicles | - | 25% on cost | ||
Computer equipment | - | 25% on cost |
Stocks
Stocks are stated at the lower of cost and net realisable value. In the case of the manufactured product, cost includes all direct expenditure and production overhead based on a normal level of activity. Stock is stated after making due allowance for obsolete and slow moving items.
Work in progress is stated on the basis of direct costs plus attributable overheads based on normal level of activity. Provision is made for any foreseeable losses. No element of profit is included in the valuation of work in progress.

Note (continued)
1. Accounting policies (continued)
Turnover
The turnover shown in the profit and loss account represents amounts invoiced during the year, exclusive of value added tax. Turnover is recognised when goods are despatched.
Cash and liquid resources
Cash, for the purpose of the cash flow statement, comprises cash in hand and deposits repayable on demand, less overdrafts payable on demand.
Liquid resources are current asset investments which are disposable without curtailing or disrupting the business and are either readily convertible into known amounts of cash at or close to their carrying values or traded in an active market.
Taxation
The charge for taxation is based on the result for the year and takes into account taxation deferred because of timing differences between the treatment of certain items for taxation and accounting purposes.
Deferred tax is recognised, without discounting, in respect of all timing differences between the treatment of certain items for taxation and accounting purposes which have arisen but not reversed by the balance sheet date, except as otherwise required by FRS 19.
Deferred tax assets are recognised when it is more likely than not that they will be recovered. Deferred tax is measured using rates of tax that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the balance sheet date.
Post retirement benefits
The Company operates a defined contribution pension scheme for employees. The assets of the scheme are held separately from those of the company. The amount charged to the profit and loss account represents the contributions payable to the scheme in respect of the accounting period.
Leases
Operating lease rentals, where substantially all of the benefits and risks of ownership remain with the lessor, are charged against profits on a straight line basis over the period of the lease.
Debt financing
Fees on the issue of debt have been deducted from the gross proceeds of the issue and, together with the finance costs, are allocated to the profit and loss account over the life of the debt at a constant rate on the carrying amount.
8
Note (continued)
1. Accounting policies (continued)
Foreign currencies
Transactions in foreign currencies are recorded using the rate of exchange ruling at the date of the transaction. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated using the contracted rate or the rate of exchange ruling at the balance sheet date and the gains or losses on translation are included in the profit and loss account.
The assets and liabilities of overseas subsidiary undertakings are translated at the closing exchange rates. Profit and loss accounts of such undertakings are consolidated at the average rates of exchange during the year.
Classification of financial instruments issued by the Group
Following the adoption of FRS 25, financial instruments issued by the Group are treated as equity (i.e. forming part of shareholders funds) only to the extent that they meet the following two conditions:
a) | they include no contractual obligations upon the Company (or Group as the case may be) to deliver cash or other financial assets or to exchange financial assets or financial liabilities with another party under conditions that are potentially unfavourable to the Company (or Group); and |
b) | where the instrument will or may be settled in the Companys own equity instruments, it is either a non-derivative that includes no obligation to deliver a variable number of the Companys own equity instruments or is a derivative that will be settled by the Companys exchanging a fixed amount of cash or other financial assets for a fixed number of its own equity instruments. |
To the extent that this definition is not met, the proceeds of issue are classified as a financial liability. Where the instrument so classified takes the legal form of the Companys own shares, the amounts presented in these financial statements for called up share capital and share premium account exclude amounts in relation to those shares.
Finance payments associated with financial liabilities are dealt with as part of interest payable and similar charges. Finance payments associated with financial instruments that are classified as part of shareholders funds (see dividends policy), are dealt with as appropriations in the reconciliation of movements in shareholders funds.
Research and development
Research and development expenditure is written off to the profit and loss account in the year in which it is incurred.
European Union grant income
Grants are received from the European Union to fund the development of certain compounds; the amounts received are released to the profit and loss account as the costs of development are incurred and the criteria for recognising funding are met.
Share based payments
During 2008 share options were issued to employees of the group. Options vest 10 years from the date of grant. The share options terms allow the holders of the options to acquire shares of the Company The fair value is measured at grant date and spread over the period during which the holders become unconditionally entitled to the options. The fair value of the options granted is measured using an option pricing model, taking into account the terms and conditions upon which the options were granted. The amount recognised as an expense is adjusted to reflect the actual number of share options that vest except where forfeiture is due to share prices not achieving the threshold for vesting.
Financial instruments
Interest rate swaps are used to manage exposure to interest rate risks and are not used for trading purposes. Interest differentials arising on interest rate swaps are recognised by adjusting the net interest charge.

Finance (no. 2) Act 2010 enacted the reduction in corporation tax rate from 28% to 27% with effect from April 2011. In addition, the UK Government announced three further annual 1% cuts to reduce the rate to 24% from April 2014. This will reduce the companys future current tax charge accordingly. As this rate change from 28% to 27% was substantively enacted before the balance sheet date deferred tax is calculated at a rate of 27%.
At Budget 2011 on 23rd March 2011 the UK Government announced that the corporation tax rate would instead reduce to 26% from April 2011 with three further annual 1% cuts to 23% by April 2014. Other than the enacted change to 27%, the effects of the announced changes are not reflected in the financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2010 as they have not yet been enacted and the impact has not yet been estimated.

25 Summary of Significant Differences Between UK and US Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP)
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United Kingdom (UK GAAP). Such principles differ in certain respects from generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (US GAAP). A summary of principal differences and additional disclosures applicable to the Group is set out below.
Goodwill and Intangible assets
Both UK and US GAAP require purchase consideration to be allocated to the net assets acquired at their fair value on the date of acquisition.
Under UK GAAP, goodwill arising and separately identifiable and separable intangible assets acquired on acquisitions made on, or after, 27 September 1998 are capitalised and amortised over their useful life, not exceeding a period of 20 years. Goodwill of the Group arose on the purchase of Tocris Cookson Limited and its subsidiaries in the period ended 31 December 2007.
Under US GAAP, separately identified definite life intangible assets arising from an acquisition would be capitalised and amortised over their useful lives. Under UK GAAP, these assets are included within goodwill. For the purposes of US GAAP goodwill and indefinite life intangible assets would not be amortised but would be reviewed annually for impairment.
Deferred taxation
UK GAAP requires that no provision for deferred taxation should be made if there is reasonable evidence that such taxation will not be payable within the foreseeable future and that deferred tax assets should only be recognised if the realisation of such assets can be assessed with reasonable certainty.
US GAAP requires full provision for deferred tax liabilities, and permits deferred tax assets to be recognised without valuation allowance if their realisation is more likely than not.
Under UK GAAP, the Group classified the deferred tax assets and liabilities as non-current. Under US GAAP, deferred taxes are classified between current and non-current portions, consistent with the classification of the underlying assets or liabilities that give rise to the temporary difference, disclosed separately and presented on a net basis, by tax jurisdiction.

Note (continued)
25 Summary of Significant Differences Between UK and US Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) (continued)
Financial Instruments
The Group is exposed to interest rate risk arising from long term borrowings. The Group uses interest rate swaps to reduce exposure to interest rate movements by replacing floating interest rate risk with fixed interest commitments. Interest rate swaps are not used for trading purposes. Interest differentials arising on interest rate swaps are recognised by adjusting the net interest charge.
Under UK GAAP, only accrued interest under interest rate swaps was recognised on the balance sheet. Under US GAAP, the fair value of interest rate swaps is recognised on the balance sheet with changes in fair value being recognised in the income statement.
Preference shares
Under UK GAAP, preference shares are treated as equity (i.e. forming part of shareholders funds) only to the extent that they meet the following two conditions:
a) | they include no contractual obligations upon the Company (or Group as the case may be) to deliver cash or other financial assets or to exchange financial assets or financial liabilities with another party under conditions that are potentially unfavourable to the Company (or Group); and |
b) | where the instrument will or may be settled in the Companys own equity instruments, it is either a non-derivative that includes no obligation to deliver a variable number of the Companys own equity instruments or is a derivative that will be settled by the Companys exchanging a fixed amount of cash or other financial assets for a fixed number of its own equity instruments. |
To the extent that this definition is not met, the proceeds of issue are classified as a financial liability at nominal value. Where the instrument so classified takes the legal form of the Companys own shares, the amounts presented in these financial statements for called up share capital and share premium account exclude amounts in relation to those shares.
Finance payments associated with financial liabilities are dealt with as part of interest payable and similar charges. Finance payments associated with financial instruments that are classified as part of shareholders funds (see dividends policy), are dealt with as appropriations in the reconciliation of movements in shareholders funds.
Under US GAAP, such preference shares are required to be split into debt and equity components and recorded at fair market value at the date of issuance.

Exhibit 99.2
UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL INFORMATION
The following tables set forth certain unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial information giving effect to Techne Corporations (Techne) acquisition of Tocris Holdings Limited (Tocris).
The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated statements of income for the year ended June 30, 2010 and for the six months ended December 31, 2010 (the Pro Forma Income Statements), give effect to Technes acquisition of Tocris, as discussed in Note 3, as if such acquisition had occurred on July 1, 2009, combining the results of Techne and Tocris for the year ended June 30, 2010 (Technes fiscal year end) and for the six month period ended December 31, 2010. The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2010 (the Pro Forma Balance Sheet) gives effect to the Tocris acquisition as if it had occurred on December 31, 2010, combining Technes December 31, 2010 balance sheet with Tocris December 31, 2010 balance sheet. The Pro Forma Income Statements and the Pro Forma Balance Sheet are hereafter collectively referred to as the Pro Forma Financial Information. The Pro Forma Financial Information is unaudited and does not purport to represent what Technes consolidated results of operations would have been if the Tocris acquisition had occurred on July 1, 2009, or what those results will be for any future periods, or what Technes consolidated balance sheet would have been if the Tocris acquisition had occurred on December 31, 2010.
The Pro Forma Financial Information is based upon the historical consolidated financial statements of Techne and Tocris and certain adjustments which Techne believes are reasonable, to give effect of the Tocris acquisition. The pro forma adjustments and Pro Forma Financial Information included herein were prepared using the acquisition method of accounting for the business combination. The pro forma adjustments are based on preliminary estimates and certain assumptions that Techne believes are reasonable under the circumstances. The purchase price allocation is considered preliminary and subject to change once Techne receives certain information it believes is necessary to finalize the acquisition accounting, as noted in Note 3 to the Pro Forma Financial Information.
The Pro Forma Financial Information has been compiled from the following sources with the following unaudited adjustments:
| The financial information for Techne has been prepared in accordance with U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (U.S. GAAP) and extracted without adjustment from: (i) Technes audited consolidated statement of income for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2010, contained in Technes Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) on August 27, 2010; and (ii) Technes unaudited consolidated statement of income for the six month period ended December 31, 2010, and Technes unaudited consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2010, both contained in Technes Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q filed with the SEC on February 9, 2011. |
| The financial information for Tocris has been prepared in accordance with UK Accounting Standards and applicable law (UK Generally Accepted Accounting Practice) and derived without material adjustment from: (i) Tocris audited consolidated balance sheet and statement of income as of and for the year ended December 31, 2010, contained in this Form 8-K/A; and (ii) Tocris unaudited consolidated statements of income for the six month period ended June 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, both received from Tocris management. These financial statements were originally prepared using pounds sterling as the reporting currency, and have been translated into U.S. dollars in the Pro Forma Financial Information using the methodology and the exchange rates noted below. |
| Certain adjustments have been made to convert Tocris UK Generally Accepted Accounting Practice financial information to U.S. GAAP and to align those policies with Technes U.S. GAAP accounting policies. The basis of these adjustments is explained in the notes to the Pro Forma Financial Information. |
| Tocris translated the financial information from its U.S. operations into pounds sterling based upon the requirements of UK Generally Accepted Accounting Practice. Based upon its review of Tocris historical financial statements and understanding of the differences between U.S. GAAP and UK Generally Accepted Accounting Practice, Techne is not aware of any further adjustments that it would need to make to Tocris historical financial statements relating to foreign currency translation. |
The pro forma adjustments in the Pro Forma Financial Information have been translated from pounds sterling to U.S. dollars using historic exchanges rates. The average exchange rates applicable to Tocris during the periods presented for the Pro Forma Income Statements and the period end exchange rate for the Pro Forma Balance Sheet are as follows:
GBP/USD | ||||||
Year ended June 30, 2010 |
Average Spot Rate | $ | 1.5818 | |||
Six months ended December 31, 2010 |
Average Spot Rate | $ | 1.5653 | |||
December 31, 2010 |
Period End Spot Rate | $ | 1.5468 |
The Pro Forma Financial Information should be read in conjunction with:
| the accompanying notes to the Pro Forma Financial Information; |
| the consolidated financial statements of Techne for the year ended June 30, 2010 and the related notes thereto, and the consolidated financial statements of Techne for the six months ended December 31, 2010 and related notes thereto; and |
| the consolidated financial statements of Tocris for the year ended December 31, 2010 and the related notes thereto, included in this Form 8-K/A. |

The accompanying Pro Forma Income Statements for the year ended June 30, 2010, and for the six month period ended December 31, 2010, give effect to Technes acquisition of Tocris as discussed in Note 3, as if such acquisition had occurred on July 1, 2009, combining the results of Techne and Tocris for the year ended June 30, 2010 and for the six month period ended December 31, 2010 (Tocris fiscal year end). The accompanying Pro Forma Balance Sheet as of December 31, 2010 gives effect to the Tocris acquisition as if it had occurred on December 31, 2010, combining the consolidated balance sheet of Techne and Tocris as of December 31, 2010. The Pro Forma Financial Information is unaudited and does not purport to represent what Technes consolidated results of operations would have been if the Tocris acquisition had occurred on July 1, 2009, or what those results will be for any future periods; or what Technes consolidated balance sheet would have been if the Tocris acquisition had occurred on December 31, 2010.
(a) Year Ended June 30, 2010
Tocris financial statements for the year ended June 30, 2010 were derived by removing the financial results for the six month period ended December 31, 2010 from its year ended December 31, 2010 financial results and adding the financial results for the six month period ended December 31, 2009.
(b) Six Month Period Ended December 31, 2010
The financial statements of Tocris for the six month period ended December 31, 2010 were derived by removing the financial results for the six month period ended June 30, 2010 from the December 31, 2010 financial results. No duplicated operating information is included in the periods presented.
2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The Pro Forma Financial Information has been compiled in a manner consistent with the accounting policies adopted by Techne. The accounting policies of Tocris were not deemed to be materially different from those adopted by Techne. Adjustments were made for presentational differences between UK Generally Accepted Accounting Practice and U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principals (GAAP), as set out further in Note 4, together with adjustments arising as part of the acquisition accounting.
The Tocris financial information has been translated from pounds sterling to U.S. dollars using the average exchange rates applicable during the periods presented in the Pro Forma Statements of Income and the period end spot rate for the Pro Forma Balance Sheet.
3. TOCRIS ACQUISITION
On May 3, 2011, Techne announced that on April 28, 2011, two wholly-owned subsidiaries of Techne, Research and Diagnostic Systems, Inc., a Minnesota corporation (RDS), and R&D Systems Europe Ltd. (RDSE), a United Kingdom company, entered into a Share Purchase Agreement (the Agreement) with the shareholders of Tocris pursuant to which RDS and RDSE collectively acquired all of the outstanding stock of Tocris in exchange for cash. Through the acquisition of Tocris, RDS and RDSE also acquired the following subsidiaries of Tocris (collectively the Tocris Entities):
| Tocris Investments Limited, a United Kingdom company and wholly-owned subsidiary of Tocris; |
| Tocris Cookson Limited, a United Kingdom company and wholly-owned subsidiary of Tocris Investments Limited; and |
| Tocris Cookson, Inc., a Delaware corporation and wholly-owned subsidiary of Tocris Cookson Limited. |
RDS and RDSE acquired the shares of Tocris for total consideration of £75.0 million (approximately $124 million at the exchange rate of £1.00:$1.6528 on April 28, 2011), which consists of approximately £68.0 million ($112.4 million) paid to Tocris shareholders and approximately £7.0 million (approximately $11.6 million) used to pay the Tocris Entities external debt at closing. Pursuant to the agreement, £7.5 million of the purchase price paid to Tocris shareholders will be held in escrow for 18 months to secure warranty and indemnity obligations of the shareholders contained in the Agreement, and £1.0 million of the purchase price was held in escrow pending confirmation of the final levels of cash, debt and working capital of Tocris at closing. The purchase price may be adjusted post-closing based on these measurements.
Pursuant to the Agreement, the Tocris shareholders, other than the institutional shareholders, are subject to non-compete and non-solicitation obligations for three years following the closing. In connection with the acquisition, Tocris has entered into new employment agreements with key managers of Tocris.
The total purchase price and related preliminary excess total purchase price over fair value of net assets acquired is as follows (in thousands):

Book value of net assets acquired |
$ | 8,569 | ||||||

$ | 61,365 | ||||||
Except as discussed in Note 4 below, the carrying value of assets and liabilities in Tocris financial statements are considered to be a reasonable estimate of the fair value of those assets and liabilities.
The total purchase price allocation is considered preliminary and is subject to change once Techne receives certain information it believes is necessary to finalize its determination of the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed. Thus the allocation of total purchase price is subject to refinement, and additional adjustments to record the fair value of all assets acquired and liabilities assumed may be required.
Residual goodwill at the date of acquisition varies from goodwill presented in the Pro Forma Financial Information due to changes in the net book value of tangible assets during the period January 1, 2011 through the date of acquisition and different currency exchange rates at December 31, 2010 and the date of acquisition.
4. PRO FORMA ADJUSTMENTS
The Pro Forma Financial Information is based upon the historical consolidated financial statements of Techne and Tocris and certain adjustments which Techne believes are reasonable to give effect to the Tocris acquisition. These adjustments are based upon currently available information and certain assumptions, and therefore the actual adjustments will likely differ from the pro forma adjustments. The Pro Forma Financial Information included herein was prepared using the acquisition method of accounting for the business combination. As discussed above, the purchase price allocation is considered preliminary at this time. However, Techne believes that the preliminary purchase price allocation and other related assumptions utilized in preparing the Pro Forma Financial Information provide a reasonable basis for presenting the pro forma effects of the Tocris acquisition.
Other than those described below, Techne believes there are no adjustments, in any material respects, that need to be made to present the Tocris financial information in accordance with U.S. GAAP, or to align Tocris historical accounting policies with Technes U.S. GAAP accounting policies.
The adjustments made in preparing the Pro Forma Financial Information are as follows:
(a) Fair Value Acquisition Accounting Adjustments:
For purposes of the pro forma presentation, the following adjustments were made to reflect our preliminary estimate of the fair value of the net assets acquired:
i. | The intangible assets with finite lives of Tocris have been increased by approximately $48.4 million to reflect our preliminary estimate of the fair value of the acquired intangible assets, including trade names, technology assets, and customer relationship assets. The purchase price allocated to these intangible assets was based on managements forecasted cash inflows and outflows and using a relief-from-royalty and a multi-period excess earnings method to calculate the fair value of assets purchased with consideration to other factors including an independent valuation of managements assumptions. |
ii. | The historical carrying value of Tocris goodwill as of the acquisition date of approximately $11.5 million (which relates to prior Tocris acquisitions) was eliminated. |
iii. | The $24.6 million increase in inventories relates to the recognition of the fair value of these inventories. The preliminary fair value of inventories was determined based on quantities acquired, selling prices at the date of acquisition and managements assumptions regarding units that have future value and costs to sell such inventories. |
Tocris produces batches of established products in quantities greater than current sales requirements due to economies of scale. The Tocris products have long life-cycles. While the recording of Tocris inventories is not expected to have a continuing impact on cost of goods sold, the sale of inventory held at the date of acquisition will likely be sold over a number of years. It is estimated that the increase in inventories due to fair value adjustments will be charged to Technes cost of goods sold approximately as follows: $8.5 million in the first year following the acquisition; $6.2 million in the second year following the acquisition; $4.4 million in the third year following the acquisition; $3.5 million in the fourth year following the acquisition and $2.0 million in the fifth year following the acquisition.
iv. | Techne recorded a net deferred tax liability impact of $19.0 million related to the fair value purchase accounting adjustments discussed above. |
Adjustments were also made to the acquired assets and assumed liabilities of Tocris to align the Tocris financial information prepared using UK Generally Accepted Accounting Practice with Technes U.S. GAAP accounting policies. See Note 4(g)-Income Taxes and 4(h)-Reclassifications below.
Goodwill, representing the total excess of the total purchase price over the fair value of the net assets acquired, was approximately $61.4 million at the date of acquisition. This allocation is based on preliminary estimates; the final acquisition cost allocation may differ materially from the preliminary assessment outlined above. Any changes to the initial estimates of the fair value of the assets and liabilities will be allocated to goodwill.
(b) Acquisition Funding
The Tocris acquisition was funded through the use of approximately $124.0 million of cash held by Techne at the time of acquisition. Adjustments were made in the Pro Forma Financial Information to reduce interest income by an estimated amount of interest income that will be lost because of lower invested fund balances. A 1.0% rate of return was assumed based upon recent and projected yields earned by Techne.
(c) Debt
i. | Debt Borrowing of Tocris |
In accordance with the Agreement, at closing, certain cash paid by Techne to acquire Tocris was used to satisfy all outstanding debt and accrued dividends on the preference shares of Tocris.
ii. | Interest Expense |
Adjustments were made in the Pro Forma Financial Information to eliminate interest expense paid by Tocris related to its outstanding debt in the year ended June 30, 2010 and the six months ended December 31, 2010 because, as explained in Note 4(c)(i) above, all such debt was satisfied at the time the acquisition was closed.
(d) Cash held by Tocris
All cash held by Tocris on the date of close was ultimately returned to Tocris shareholders in accordance with the Agreement.
(e) Amortization Expense Related to Acquired Intangible Assets
Acquired finite-lived intangible assets were recorded at their estimated fair value of approximately $48.4 million. The weighted-average useful life of the acquired intangible assets is estimated at 12 years. Adjustments to record estimated amortization expense of $4.1 million and $2.1 million, respectively, were made for the year ended June 30, 2010 and the six month period ended December 30, 2010, and were reflected in the Pro Forma Statement of Income as follows (dollars in thousands):
Intangible Asset |
Fair Value | Life (in years) |
Annual Amortization |
P/L Category | ||||||||
Developed Technology |
$ | 25,288 | 10 | $ | 2,529 | Cost of Sales | ||||||
Trademark/Trade Name |
16,526 | 15 | 1,102 | Selling, General & Administrative | ||||||||
Customer Relationships |
6,611 | 13 | 509 | Selling, General & Administrative | ||||||||
$ | 48,425 | $ | 4,140 | |||||||||
In addition, adjustments to reverse amortization expense of $732,000 and $362,000, respectively, were made for the year ended June 30, 2010 and the six month period ended December 31, 2010, respectively. These expenses related to Tocris acquisition-related intangible assets that existed prior to the acquisition,and were subsequently eliminated on the acquisition date. These expenses were previously reflected in the Selling, General and Administrative Expense line item by Tocris.
(f) Elimination of Tocris Stockholder Equity
An adjustment of $8.8 million to eliminate Tocris stockholders equity balances was recorded in the Pro Forma Balance Sheet.
(g) Income Taxes
The following pro forma adjustments related to income taxes were made to the Pro Forma Balance Sheet:
i. | Techne recorded a net deferred tax liability of $19.0 million related to the fair value acquisition accounting adjustments discussed in 4(a)(iv) above. |
ii. | Under UK Generally Accepted Accounting Practice, Tocris classified the deferred tax assets and liabilities as non-current. Under U.S. GAAP, deferred taxes are classified between current and non-current portions, consistent with the classification of the underlying assets or liabilities that give rise to the temporary difference, disclosed separately and presented on a net basis, by tax jurisdiction. Note 4(h) further describes the reclassification to reflect this presentation difference. |
The following pro forma adjustments related to income taxes were made to the Pro Forma Statements of Income:
iii. | Adjustments to income tax (provision) benefit have been recorded for the other pro forma adjustments using the weighted average statutory rate in effect during the periods for which the Pro Forma Statements of Income are presented. |
(h) Reclassifications
Certain balances were reclassified from the Tocris consolidated financial statements so their presentation would be consistent with Techne.

(i) Earnings per Common Share
Pro forma earnings per common share for the year ended June 30, 2010 and the six month period ended December 31, 2010, have been calculated using the same weighted average number of common shares outstanding used by Techne in its earnings per share calculations.
