INDEPENDENT AUDITORS’ REPORT

THE LPA GROUP, P.C., THE LPA DESIGN GROUP, INC.,
HORIZON ARCHITECTS, P.C.,
LPACIFIC GROUP INCORPORATED, AND
THE LPA GROUP OF CANADA INC
Columbia, South Carolina
We have audited the accompanying combined balance sheet of THE LPA GROUP INCORPORATED, THE LPA GROUP OF NORTH CAROLINA, P.A., THE LPA GROUP, P.C., THE LPA DESIGN GROUP, INC., HORIZON ARCHITECTS, P.C., LPACIFIC GROUP INCORPORATED, and THE LPA GROUP OF CANADA INC as of December 31, 2009, and the related combined statements of income and comprehensive income, changes in stockholders’ equity, and cash flows for the year then ended. These combined financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these combined financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the combined financial statements are free of material misstatements. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the combined financial statements. An audit also includes 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 combined financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of THE LPA GROUP INCORPORATED, THE LPA GROUP OF NORTH CAROLINA, P.A., THE LPA GROUP, P.C., THE LPA DESIGN GROUP, INC., HORIZON ARCHITECTS, P.C., LPACIFIC GROUP INCORPORATED, and THE LPA GROUP OF CANADA INC as of December 31, 2009, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for the year then ended in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

 


 

Our audits were made for the purpose of forming an opinion on the basic combined financial statements taken as a whole. The supplementary data listed in the table of contents is presented for purposes of additional analysis and is not a required part of the basic combined financial statements. Such information has been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audits of the basic combined financial statements, and in our opinion, is fairly stated in all material respects in relation to the basic combined financial statements taken as a whole.

COMBINED NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
DECEMBER 31, 2009
Note A — SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued):
Revenue Recognition:
Revenues from fixed-price and modified fixed-price contracts are recognized on the percentage-of-completion method of accounting, measured by the percentage of labor hours incurred to date to estimated total labor hours for each contract. This method is used because management considers labor hours expended to be the best available measure of progress on these contracts. Revenues from cost-plus-fee contracts are recognized on the basis of costs incurred during the period plus the fee earned measured by the cost-to-cost method.
Contract costs include all direct labor, direct reimbursable consultants and direct reimbursable expenses. Provisions for estimated losses on uncompleted contracts are made in the period in which such losses are determined. Changes in estimated profitability including contract settlements may result in revisions to costs and revenues and are recorded using the cumulative catch-up method. Provisions for estimated losses on uncompleted contracts are recorded during the period in which such losses become evident. An amount equal to contract costs attributable to claims is included in revenues when realization is probable and the amount can be reliably determined. Award fees are recorded as revenues when the amounts are both probable and reasonably estimatable.
Unbilled revenues on contracts in progress in the accompanying balance sheet represents unbilled amounts earned and reimbursable under contracts in progress. These amounts become billable according to the contract terms, which consider the passage of time, achievement of certain milestones or completion of the project. The majority of contracts contain terms that permit these unbilled amounts to be invoiced in the month after the related contract direct costs are incurred.
The asset, “Cost and Estimated Earnings in Excess of Billings on uncompleted contracts,” represents revenues recognized in excess of amounts billed. The liability, “Billings in Excess of Costs and Estimated Earnings on uncompleted contracts,” represents billings in excess of revenues recognized.
Estimates:
The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect certain reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those, which result from using such estimates. The use of estimates is an integral part of determining labor hours to complete under the percentage-of-completion method of accounting for contracts. Results of any changes in accounting estimates are reflected in the period in which the changes become evident.

Note A — SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued):
Cash and cash equivalents:
For the purposes of the Statement of Cash Flows the company considers cash in banks, cash on hand and securities that are classified as available for sale securities under the Investments-Debt and Equity Securities Topic of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification, and recorded at fair market value as cash.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The carrying amount of the Company’s cash and cash equivalents, receivables, unbilled revenues, accounts payable and other liabilities approximate their fair value due to the short-term nature or relative liquidity of the instruments.
Receivables and Allowance for doubtful accounts:
The Company provides an allowance for doubtful accounts and thus bad debt expense is based upon management’s review and evaluation of outstanding accounts receivable.
Prepaid Insurance
Prepaid Insurance is being amortized over the life of the respective policies.
Property and equipment:
Property and equipment consists of furniture, office equipment, vehicles and leasehold improvements and are stated at cost. The estimated useful lives typically are 3 to 10 years on furniture, office equipment and vehicles. Leasehold improvements are amortized on a straight line basis over the shorter of the lease term or the estimated useful life of the asset. Assets held under capital leases are amortized on a straight-line basis over the shorter of the lease term or the estimated useful life of the asset. Assets under capital lease represent vehicles leased by the Company. Maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred, and betterments are capitalized. Gains or losses on disposals are credited or charged to other income and expenses.
Depreciation:
Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the related assets. Depreciation expense for the year ended December 31, 2009 was $947,515.
Treasury stock:
Treasury stock acquisition is accounted for using the cost method.
Advertising:
Advertising costs are expensed as incurred. Advertising expense was $29,766 during the year ended December 31, 2009.

Note A — SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued):
Income taxes:
Income taxes are provided for the tax effects of transactions reported in the financial statements and consist of taxes currently due plus deferred taxes that are related primarily to differences in the revenue recognition methods employed for tax reporting purposes and book purposes for income tax purposes. The Company recognizes revenue under the cash method as a personal service corporation and uses allowable income tax accelerated depreciation method. The deferred taxes represent the future tax consequences of those differences, which will either be taxable or deductible when the assets and liabilities are recovered or settled.
The calculation of these deferred tax assets and liabilities require interpretation of tax laws and regulation and from time to time results in the use of judgments and estimates that could cause the tax liability to differ from the amounts recorded. The Company does not consider the effects of future changes in tax laws or rates in the current period.
The Company files income tax returns in the United States federal jurisdiction and various state jurisdictions. The Company is no longer subject to United States federal or state income tax examinations by tax authorities for years prior to 2004.
Effective January 1, 2009 the Company adopted the provisions of the Income Taxes Topic of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification. The Income Taxes Topic of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement principals for the financial statement recognition and measurement of tax positions taken or expected to be taken on a tax return that are not certain to be realized. The implementation of the Income Taxes Topic of FASB Accounting Standards Codification had no impact on the Company’s financial statements.
Note B — CASH CONCENTRATIONS:
The Company maintains its cash deposits with the National Bank of South Carolina. As of December 31, 2009, deposits in the bank exceeded FDIC general deposit insurance limits by approximately $5,816,474, but are fully guaranteed by the FDIC through June 30, 2010 under the Transaction Account Guarantee Program. Coverage under this program is in addition to and separate from the coverage available under the FDIC’s general deposit insurance rules. The Company has not experienced any losses in such accounts, and believes that it is not exposed to any significant credit risk to cash.

Note C — INVESTMENT IN AFFILIATE:
The Company’s investment in affiliate of $48,145 consists of an initial capital investment in, and the undistributed net earnings from, its one third interest in Louisiana TIMED Managers (LTM), a joint venture formed to manage a Louisiana Department of Transportation and Development (DOTD) transportation construction contract. During the year ended December 31, 2009, the Company advanced $7,680,725 to LTM in labor and overhead related to the contract. As of December 31, 2009, $455,875 remains uncollected. The Company has recognized $1,286,363 as income from unconsolidated affiliate joint venture partnership during the year ended December 31, 2009.
Conversely, the members are required to reimburse LTM for general and administrative expenses of the joint venture and for the purchase of fixed assets. As of December 31, 2009, the Company did not have a payable to LTM.
To date, the Company has received advance distributions totaling $3,770,000 from LTM. These distributions represent advances from billings in excess of costs and estimated profits of the joint venture. These advances bear no interest and have no specific repayment terms.
The Company includes equity income from unconsolidated joint ventures as a component of other income as this income is derived from entities taxes as partnerships.
Summary financial information for LTM as of, and for the period ending, December 31, 2009, is presented in the following table. LTM recognizes revenues from construction contracts on the percentage-of-completion method, measured by the percentage of cost incurred to date to estimated total cost for each contract.

COMBINED NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
DECEMBER 31, 2009
Note E — DEFERRED INCOME TAXES (Continued):
The Income Taxes Topic of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification is based on the assumption that tax laws and financial accounting standards differ in their recognition and measurement of assets, liabilities, equity, revenues, expenses, gains and losses. Therefore, differences may arise between the amount of taxable income and accrual basis financial income for a given year. Additionally, the use of accelerated methods of depreciation for tax purposes results in temporary differences in the bases of assets or liabilities as reported in the financial statements.
Note F — RETIREMENT PLANS (PSP):
The Company has established a Profit Sharing Plan with a 401(k) provision for its employees. The employees elect on an individual basis to participate in the plan. The Company’s contributions to the plan are voluntary. The Company elected to make a cash contribution of $568,791 for the year ended December 31, 2009.
Note G — RELATED PARTIES:
The Company rents, on a fixed term basis, office space in buildings owned by officers-stockholders of the Company. The Company made payments of $1,632,584 for this office space. The Company has a receivable of $162,405 from two of its officer shareholders.

Note K — TREASURY STOCK TRANSACTION
During 2009 the Company reacquired $139,160 of common stock from two principals of the Company.
Note L — SHARE BASED COMPENSATION
The Company adopted the Equity Topic and the Compensation-Retirement Benefits Topic of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification effective January 1, 2006. The cost of employee services acquired through these Share-Based Compensation transactions have been recognized in the financial statements. The fair value exercise price is determined annually based upon a weighted average formula of the prior three audited financial statements. The shares vest over a three year period from date of issue. As of December 31, 2009 shares issued were not fully vested. The amount expensed in 2009 as compensation was $530,902 with an accrued liability of $627,782.
As of December 31, 2009, the Company had a fixed price stock option plan under which a single principal may exercise stock options granted for up to 22,274 shares as follows: 10,331 shares in 2010, 3,714 shares in 2011, 4,114 shares in 2012 and 4,115 shares in 2013. The exercise price was fixed in 2004. The plan requires the Company to issue additional shares of stock equal to one-fourth of the shares exercised on the issuing four anniversary dates of the stock exercised. The only contingency for issuance of these additional shares is the continued employment of the principal. As of December 31, 2009 the Company has a contingent liability to issue 2,322 shares as follows: 774 shares in 2010, 774 shares in 2011, 516 shares in 2012 and 258 shares in 2013.
If a change of control of the Company were to occur the exercise rights for future periods would lapse and in exchange the Company would issue 740 shares for each year or partial year that the principal was employed from January 2005 for a maximum of 10 years (7,740 shares). Additionally, with a change of control, the Company is required to issue an equal number of shares that would have been issued had the change of control not occurred and the principal had been employed for a period of four years beyond the fourth anniversary of the last rights exercised by the principal.
Note M — DISTINGUISHING LIABILITIES FROM EQUITY
The Company has adopted the Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity Topic of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification as of January 1, 2006. The Company has a potential liability to repurchase the outstanding shares of those shareholders who are signors of the 2004 shareholder agreement. This agreement covers less than 12% of the outstanding shares of the Company stock issued as of December 31, 2009. This agreement requires the Company to repurchase a covered shareholder’s shares at the most recent stock valuation in the event of a shareholder’s death or disability. The Company believes this potential obligation to be immaterial and has not recorded a liability.

Note R — RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
In June 2009, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued authoritative guidance codifying Generally Accepted Accounting Principles in the United States (“GAAP”). The Codification did not change GAAP but reorganizes the literature. The Company adopted the new Codification when referring to GAAP on December 31, 2009. The adoption of this authoritative guidance did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
In May 2009, the FASB issued authoritative guidance that incorporates guidance into accounting literature that was previously addressed only in auditing standards and is intended to establish general standards of accounting for and disclosure of events that occur after the balance sheet date but before financial statements are issued or are available to be issued. The Company adopted this authoritative guidance on December 31, 2009. This guidance did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
Note S — SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
The Company has issued as of March 25, 2010 an additional 20,138 shares of stock. These shares are subject to the share-holder agreement with 12,973 of the shares are being issued as share based compensation of which 10,331 shares were issued under the fixed price stock option plan.
As required by the Subsequent Events Topic of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification, management has considered subsequent events through March 25, 2010, the date of issuance, in preparing the financial statements and notes hereto.

Note F — COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCES:
In the ordinary course of business, the Company has, from time to time, become a party to legal claims and disputes. At March 31, 2010, management is not aware of any pending or threatened litigation, or unasserted claims that would result in losses that would be material to the financial statements. The Company’s management in consultation with its legal counsel has recorded a $50,000 reserve in the financial statements based upon its estimate of known claims.
Note G — SHARE BASED COMPENSATION
The Company adopted the Equity Topic and the Compensation-Retirement Benefits Topic of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification effective January 1, 2006. The cost of employee services acquired through these Share-Based Compensation transactions have been recognized in the financial statements. The fair value exercise price is determined annually based upon a weighted average formula of the prior three audited financial statements. The shares vest over a three year period from date of issue. As of March 31, 2010 shares issued were not fully vested. The amount expensed during the three months ended March 31, 2010 as compensation was $17,855 and there was no compensation expense during the comparable period in 2009. There was an accrued liability of $609,927 related to share-based compensation arrangements as of March 31, 2010.
As of March 31, 2010, the Company had a fixed price stock option plan under which a single principal may exercise stock options granted for up to 22,274 shares as follows: 10,331 shares in 2010, 3,714 shares in 2011, 4,114 shares in 2012 and 4,115 shares in 2013. The exercise price was fixed in 2004. The plan requires the Company to issue additional shares of stock equal to one-fourth of the shares exercised on the issuing four anniversary dates of the stock exercised. The only contingency for issuance of these additional shares is the continued employment of the principal. As of March 31, 2010 the Company has a contingent liability to issue 2,322 shares as follows: 774 shares in 2010, 774 shares in 2011, 516 shares in 2012 and 258 shares in 2013.

COMBINED CONDENSED NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
MARCH 31, 2010 AND 2009
If a change of control of the Company were to occur the exercise rights for future periods would lapse and in exchange the Company would issue 740 shares for each year or partial year that the principal was employed from January 2005 for a maximum of 10 years (7,740 shares). Additionally, with a change of control, the Company is required to issue an equal number of shares that would have been issued had the change of control not occurred and the principal had been employed for a period of four years beyond the fourth anniversary of the last rights exercised by the principal.
Note H — RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
In June 2009, the FASB issued authoritative guidance amending the timing and consideration of analyses performed to determine if the Company’s variable interests give it a controlling financial interest in a variable interest entity, as well as requiring additional disclosures. The Company adopted the provisions of this guidance on January 1, 2010. The adoption of this authoritative guidance did not have a material impact on the condensed consolidated financial statements.
Note I — SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
On May 3, 2010, the Michael Baker Corporation (“Baker”) entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement to acquire 100% of the outstanding shares of the LPA Group Incorporated and all of its subsidiaries and affiliates (“LPA”) for $59.4 million. This transaction was funded with $51.4 million of cash and approximately $8.0 million of Baker’s stock.
As required by the Subsequent Events Topic of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification, management has considered subsequent events through July 15, 2010, the date of issuance, in preparing the financial statements and notes hereto.

Exhibit 99.5
     The following unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial statements of Michael Baker Corporation (“The Company”) include adjustments to the Company’s historical financial statements to reflect the acquisition of The LPA Group, Incorporated (“LPA”).
     The historical financial information of the Company has been derived from the historical audited and unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company included in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2009 and the Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the three months ended March 31, 2010. The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated statements of income for the year ended December 31, 2009 and the three months ended March 31, 2010 were prepared as if the acquisition occurred on January 1st of each presented period. Of the total acquisition cost of approximately $1.6 million, the statements of income do not include $1.2 million that were incurred subsequent to March 31, 2010. The unaudited pro forma condensed balance sheet was prepared as if the acquisition occurred as of March 31, 2010. The pro forma adjustments are based on factually supportable available information as of the date of this filing.
     The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial statements presented do not purport to represent what the results of operations or financial position of the Company would have been had the transaction occurred on the dates noted above, or to project the results of operations or financial position of the Company for any future periods. In the opinion of management, all necessary adjustments to the unaudited pro forma financial information have been made.
     The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations and the historical financial statements in the Company’s 2009 Annual Report on Form 10-K and the March 31, 2010 Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

Note 1. Basis of Presentation
     The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated balance sheet of Michael Baker Corporation (“The Company”) as of March 31, 2010 and the unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated statements of income for the year ended December 31, 2009, and for the three months ended March 31, 2010 give effect to the acquisition of 100% of the outstanding shares of The LPA Group Incorporated, The LPA Group of North Carolina, The LPA Group, P.C., The LPA Design Group, Inc., Horizon Architects, P.C., LPACIFIC Group Incorporated, and LPA Group of Canada Inc. (collectively, “The LPA Group”) on May 3, 2010. The Company paid approximately $59.4 million at closing for The LPA Group, subject to a Net Working Capital adjustment provision. The Company paid approximately $51.4 million from existing cash and cash equivalents, and issued 226,447 shares of the Company’s common stock. The fair market value of the stock on the acquisition date approximated $8.1 million based on the closing price of $35.60 per share on May 3, 2010. The Net Working Capital adjustment was subsequently settled in June 2010 for approximately $1.1 million. Of the total purchase price, approximately $6.0 million of the Michael Baker Corporation common shares were placed in escrow at closing in order to secure potential indemnification obligations of former owners of The LPA Group to the Company for a period of 18 months subsequent to the closing.
     Founded in 1981, The LPA Group has a national reputation in the transportation consulting industry. The LPA Group provides comprehensive engineering, architectural, planning, environmental, and construction services for the development of aviation and surface transportation projects. With more than 35 offices across the U.S., The LPA Group is consistently ranked in the Top 500 Design Firms by Engineering News-Record.
     The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated balance sheet assumes that the acquisition of The LPA Group occurred on March 31, 2010 and the unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated statements of income assume that the acquisition occurred on January 1st of each period presented. The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated statements of income do not include the costs related to the acquisition. In the opinion of management, these statements include all material adjustments necessary to reflect, on a pro forma basis, the impact of the acquisition on the historical financial information of the Company. The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial statements are not necessarily indicative of what the Company’s financial position or results of operations would have been had the acquisition been consummated on such dates or project the Company’s financial position or results of operations at or for any future date or period. The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the historical consolidated financial statements of the Company included in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2009, Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the three months ended March 31, 2010, as well as the audited financial statements and related notes for The LPA Group for the year ended December 31, 2009 and the unaudited financial statements and related notes for The LPA Group for the three months ended March 31, 2010 and 2009, included as Exhibits 99.3 and 99.4 to this Form 8-K/A.
     The acquisition of the LPA Group has been accounted for as a business combination under the acquisition method of accounting. Under the acquisition method of accounting, the purchase price was allocated to The LPA Group’s underlying assets and liabilities based preliminary estimates of their fair values at the date of the acquisition. Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The excess of the purchase price over the preliminary estimated fair value of the underlying assets acquired and liabilities assumed has been recorded as goodwill. Detailed information regarding the final purchase price allocation will be included in Michael Baker Corporation’s quarterly report on Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended June 30, 2010.

 


 

Note 2. Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet Adjustments
     Pro forma adjustments are necessary to reflect the preliminary allocation of the purchase price, including adjusting assets and liabilities to their estimated fair value and recognizing intangible assets, with related changes in amortization expense, and to reflect the effects of the issuance of Michael Baker Corporation equity necessary to consummate the acquisition.
     The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated balance sheet assumes that the stock of The LPA Group was acquired on March 31, 2010. The acquisition was transacted on a “cash-free, debt-free” basis. Consideration paid for The LPA Group is based on the existing cash on hand disbursed at closing, the estimated payable derived from the net working capital adjustment, and the market value of the 226,447 shares of Michael Baker Corporation common stock transferred as of May 3, 2010.
The estimated consideration paid for The LPA Group (in thousands):
         
Cash consideration paid at closing
  $ 51,352  
Fair market value of Michael Baker Corporation common shares transferred as closing
    8,062  
Net working capital adjustment payable
    1,078  
 
     
 
       
Estimated consideration paid
  $ 60,492  
 
     
The Net Working Capital adjustment for the purposes of the pro forma condensed consolidated balance sheet is based on The LPA Group’s balance sheet as of May 3, 2010. The Net Working Capital adjustment was settled in June 2010, resulting in the Net working capital payable of approximately $1,078,000 payable to the former shareholders of The LPA Group. The Net Working Capital adjustment has been included as a pro-forma adjustment in the accompanying pro-forma balance sheet.
To reflect the purchase of The LPA Group as of March 31, 2010, the same parameters of the transaction have been assumed, including the $60.5 million purchase price. The excess of the purchase price, including the Net Working Capital adjustment, over the fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed have been classified as goodwill. As the Company has not yet finalized the allocation of the purchase price, these amounts are subject to adjustment.
The following table sets forth the preliminary estimates of fair values of the identifiable intangible assets acquired with the acquisition of The LPA Group on May 3, 2010 (Amounts in Thousands):

Project backlog, customer contracts and related relationships and the trade name intangible assets will be amortized on a basis approximating the economic value derived from those assets. Non-compete agreements represent the amount of lost business that could occur if certain principals and officers of The LPA Group, in the absence on non-compete agreements, were to compete with the Company. Those agreements will be amortized on a straight-line basis over the term of the agreements, which approximate 2 years. The preliminary estimates of fair values ascribed to these identifiable intangible assets are subject to change as the review and evaluation of these assets are finalized.
The adjustment to fair value The LPA Group’s various real estate operating leases based upon current market rates resulted in an adjustment of approximately $0.5 million in the accompanying pro-forma balance sheet. This amount includes adjustments related to two leases for buildings owned by the former primary owners of The LPA Group.
As this transaction was transacted on a “cash-free, debt-free” basis, The LPA Group’s cash balance of $4.0 million has been included as a pro-forma adjustment. Also, as The LPA Group was required to retire its outstanding notes payable with the National Bank of South Carolina upon close of the transaction, $1.0 million has been included as a pro-forma adjustment for the short-term portion of these notes, while $5.6 million has been included as an adjustment related to the long-term portion of these notes.
Incremental costs approximating $1.2 million were incurred in transacting this acquisition in addition to amounts already included in the financial results of the Company for the period ending March 31, 2010. These costs include amounts paid for investment banking, legal and other professional services and have been reflected as a pro-forma adjustment in the accompanying pro-forma balance sheet.
The issuance of 226,447 common shares of Michael Baker Corporation is included as pro-forma adjustments in Shareholders’ Investment, reflecting an increase of approximately $0.2 million in Common Stock and approximately $7.8 million in Additional paid-in capital. These adjustments are partially offset by the pro-forma adjustments to reflect the elimination of The LPA Group’s equity upon the purchase and consolidation with Michael Baker Corporation. The entire amount of common shares issued in conjuction with the acquisition have been included in the calculations of the pro forma diluted earnings per share for both periods presented. Only 56,612 common shares have been included in the calculations of pro forma basic earnings per share for both periods presented as the remaining 169,835 shares are being held in escrow for a period of 18 months to satisfy any potential indemnification claims.
Note 3. Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income Adjustments
The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated statements of income assume that the acquisition of The LPA Group occurred as of January 1 of each period presented. The unaudited pro-forma condensed consolidated statements of income do not include any costs related to the acquisition. In addition, the unaudited pro-forma condensed consolidated statements of income do not assume any impacts from revenue, cost or other operating synergies that are expected to result from the acquisition. Pro forma adjustments have been made to reflect amortization of the identifiable intangible assets for the related periods. Identifiable intangible assets are being amortized on a basis approximating the economic value derived from those assets.

 


 

Pro-forma adjustments to “Cost of work performed” have been made to reflect the recognition of operating lease costs at fair value and to “Selling, general and administrative expenses” to reflect the elimination of “key man” life insurance policies that The LPA Group had maintained for its former primary owners, as well as the elimination of stock-based compensation expense related to The LPA Group’s legacy equity incentive program. In addition, pro-forma adjustments have been made to reflect retention payments related to the acquisition.
     Pro-forma adjustments have also been made to reflect the elimination of interest expense related to The LPA Group’s note payable with the National Bank of South Carolina, which was retired as of the closing date. Additionally, interest income earned on the cash balances held by The LPA Group has also been eliminated as a pro-forma adjustment. An adjustment was also made to reflect a reduction in interest income earned by the Company due to the assumed disbursement of $51.4 million of cash and cash equivalents for the acquisition at the beginning of the respective periods.
     The pro forma adjustments for the income tax provisions were calculated based upon the statutory rates in effect during the respective periods for which pro forma condensed consolidated statements of income are presented. Actual amounts could vary from these pro forma estimates.
