NOTES TO CONDENSED COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1. Basis of Presentation
The unaudited Condensed Combined Financial Statements of the Broadband Network Solutions business (“BNS” or the “Company,” which may be referred to as “we, “us,” or “our”) of TE Connectivity Ltd. (“TE Connectivity” or “Parent”) have been prepared in United States (“U.S.”) dollars, in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. (“GAAP”). In management’s opinion, the unaudited Condensed Combined Financial Statements contain all normal recurring adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of interim results. The results of operations reported for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations for the entire fiscal year or any subsequent interim period.
The assets and liabilities in the Condensed Combined Financial Statements have been reflected on a historical cost basis, as included in the historical Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets of Parent. The Condensed Combined Statements of Operations include allocations for a) certain support functions that are provided on a centralized basis by Parent and historically recorded at the business unit level, as well as b) corporate costs not historically allocated by Parent to the business unit level. These expenses include departmental charges related to executive office, finance, tax, treasury, human resources, information technology, and legal, among others. These expenses have been allocated to BNS on the basis of direct usage when identifiable, with the remainder allocated on a proportional basis of operating income, headcount or other measures of BNS or Parent. Management believes the assumptions underlying the Condensed Combined Financial Statements, including the assumptions regarding allocating general corporate expenses from Parent, are reasonable. Nevertheless, the Condensed Combined Financial Statements may not include the actual expenses that would have been incurred by BNS and may not reflect the combined results of operations, financial position, and cash flows had it been a stand-alone business during the periods presented. Actual costs that would have been incurred had BNS been a stand-alone business would depend on multiple factors, including organizational structure and strategic decisions made in various areas, including information technology and infrastructure.
The year-end balance sheet data was derived from audited financial statements, but does not include all of the information and disclosures required by GAAP. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with our audited Combined Financial Statements for the fiscal year ended September 26, 2014.
Unless otherwise indicated, references in the Condensed Combined Financial Statements to fiscal 2015 and fiscal 2014 are to our fiscal years ending September 25, 2015 and September 26, 2014, respectively.
On January 27, 2015, Parent entered into a definitive agreement to sell BNS for $3 billion in cash, subject to a final working capital adjustment. The transaction is expected to close during calendar 2015 pending customary closing conditions and regulatory approvals.
2. Restructuring Charges, Net

|
During the six months ended March 27, 2015, we contributed $938 thousand to fully dedicated pension plans.
Shared Pension Plans
Certain BNS employees participate in various defined benefit pension plans sponsored by Parent (the “Shared Plans”). Pension expense, calculated as actuarially determined service and interest cost, for BNS employees that participate in these shared plans was $632 thousand and $841 thousand in the second quarters of fiscal 2015 and 2014, respectively, and $1,349 thousand and $1,680 thousand in the first six months of fiscal 2015 and 2014, respectively. The Condensed Combined Balance Sheets do not include any liabilities associated with the Shared Plans.
9. Income Taxes
We recorded income tax provisions of $8,774 thousand and $52,504 thousand for the quarters ended March 27, 2015 and March 28, 2014, respectively. The tax provision for the quarter ended March 27, 2015 reflects income tax benefits recognized in connection with the profitability of certain entities operating in lower tax jurisdictions. The tax provision for the quarter ended March 28, 2014 reflects an income tax charge related to the increase in the valuation allowance for U.S. tax loss carryforwards partially offset by income tax benefits recognized in connection with the profitability of certain entities operating in lower tax jurisdictions.
We recorded income tax provisions of $18,363 thousand and $63,542 thousand for the six months ended March 27, 2015 and March 28, 2014, respectively. The tax provision for the six months ended March 27, 2015 reflects income tax benefits recognized in connection with the profitability of certain entities operating in lower tax jurisdictions. The tax provision for the six months ended March 28, 2014 reflects an income tax charge related to the increase in the valuation allowance for U.S. tax loss carryforwards partially offset by income tax benefits recognized in connection with the profitability of certain entities operating in lower tax jurisdictions.
We record accrued interest as well as penalties related to uncertain tax positions as part of the provision for income taxes. As of March 27, 2015 and September 26, 2014, we had recorded $3,951 thousand and $5,150 thousand, respectively, of accrued interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions, all of which was recorded in income taxes on the Condensed Combined Balance Sheets. During the six months ended March 27, 2015, we recognized a $503 thousand income tax benefit related to interest and penalties on the Condensed Combined Statement of Operations.

BNS’s U.S. operations were included in various income tax returns which were filed on a unitary, consolidated, or stand-alone basis in multiple U.S. jurisdictions, which generally have statutes of limitations ranging from 3 to 4 years.
BNS’s non-U.S. operations were included in various income tax returns of non-U.S. subsidiaries which file income tax returns in the countries in which they have operations. Generally, these countries have statutes of limitations ranging from 3 to 10 years.
Although it is difficult to predict the timing or results of our worldwide examinations, we estimate that up to approximately $1,500 thousand of unrecognized income tax benefits, excluding the impact relating to accrued interest and penalties, could be resolved within the next twelve months.
We are not aware of any other matters that would result in significant changes to the amount of unrecognized income tax benefits reflected on the Condensed Combined Balance Sheet as of March 27, 2015.
10. Share Plans
Total share-based compensation expense, which was included in general and administrative expenses on the Condensed Combined Statements of Operations, was $1,733 thousand and $1,798 thousand during the second quarters of fiscal 2015 and 2014, respectively, and $3,658 thousand and $3,706 thousand during the first six months of fiscal 2015 and 2014, respectively.
11. Related Party Transactions, Parent’s Net Investment, and Significant Transactions
Related-Party Transactions
All significant intercompany transactions and accounts within BNS’s combined businesses have been eliminated. All intercompany transactions between BNS and Parent and/or Parent’s other subsidiaries have been included in these Condensed Combined Financial Statements as changes in Parent company investment. As the books and records of BNS were not kept on a separate-company basis, the determination of the average net balance due to or from Parent was not practicable.
Corporate Allocations and Parent Company Investment
Historically, Parent has provided services to, and funded certain expenses for BNS that have been included as a direct component of BNS’s historical accounting records, such as information technology, global operations, legal, and finance (the “direct allocations”). In addition, the Condensed Combined Financial Statements include general corporate expenses of Parent which were not historically allocated to BNS for certain support functions that are provided on a centralized basis within Parent and not recorded at the business unit level (“general corporate expenses”). The general corporate expenses often related to the same or similar functions as the direct allocations, but were not recorded at the business unit level for Parent financial reporting purposes. The general corporate expenses, however, incrementally included amounts related to, for example, corporate employee stock compensation, as well as other corporate costs not specifically benefiting any of Parent’s business units. For purposes of these stand-alone financial statements, the general corporate expenses have been allocated to BNS. The direct allocations and general corporate expenses are included in the Condensed Combined Statements of Operations as components of cost of sales; selling expenses; research, development, and engineering expenses; and general and administrative expenses, respectively, and accordingly as a component of business unit equity. These expenses have been allocated to BNS on a pro rata basis of operating income. Management believes the assumptions underlying the Condensed Combined Financial Statements, including the assumptions regarding allocating general corporate expenses from Parent, are reasonable. Nevertheless, the Condensed Combined Financial Statements may not include all of the actual expenses that would have been incurred and may not reflect BNS’s combined results of operations, financial position, and cash flows had it been a stand-alone company during the periods presented. Actual costs that would have been incurred if BNS had been a stand-alone company would depend on multiple factors, including organizational structure and strategic decisions made in various areas, including information technology and infrastructure.

The corporate allocations made during the second quarters of fiscal 2015 and 2014 of $39,141 thousand and $31,527 thousand, respectively, included both general corporate expenses of Parent which were not historically allocated to BNS of $9,757 thousand and $8,371 thousand, respectively, and the direct allocations historically recorded on BNS’s accounting records primarily consisting of approximately $29,384 thousand and $23,156 thousand, respectively.
The corporate allocations made during the first six months of fiscal 2015 and 2014 of $76,944 thousand and $63,734 thousand, respectively, included both general corporate expenses of Parent which were not historically allocated to BNS of $20,215 thousand and $16,496 thousand, respectively, and the direct allocations historically recorded on BNS’s accounting records primarily consisting of approximately $56,729 thousand and $47,238 thousand, respectively.
All significant intercompany transactions between BNS and Parent are considered to be effectively settled for cash at the time the separation of BNS from Parent is recorded. As discussed above, the total net effect of the settlement of these intercompany transactions is reflected in the Condensed Combined Statements of Cash Flows as a financing activity and in the Condensed Combined Balance Sheets as Parent company investment.
