On March 30, 2007, Cree, Inc., a North Carolina corporation (the “Company”) completed its previously announced acquisition of COTCO Luminant Device Limited, a Hong Kong company (“COTCO”), from COTCO Holdings Limited, a Hong Kong company.
The Unaudited Pro Forma Combined Condensed Balance Sheet as of March 25, 2007, and the related Unaudited Pro Forma Combined Condensed Statements of Income for the year ended June 25, 2006 and the nine months ended March 25, 2007, of the Company and COTCO illustrate the pro forma effect of the Company’s acquisition of COTCO. The Unaudited Pro Forma Combined Condensed Balance Sheet has been prepared as if the acquisition occurred on March 25, 2007, and, due to different historical period ends, combines the Company’s balance sheet as of March 25, 2007 with COTCO’s balance sheet as of March 31, 2007. The Unaudited Pro Forma Combined Condensed Statements of Income have been prepared as if the acquisition occurred on June 27, 2005 and, due to different historical period ends, the Unaudited Pro Forma Combined Condensed Statements of Income for the year ended June 25, 2006 and the nine months ended March 25, 2007 are based on, respectively, (i) the Company's historical results for the fiscal year ended June 25, 2006 and COTCO’s historical results for the twelve months ended June 30, 2006 and (ii) the Company’s results for the nine months ended March 25, 2007 and COTCO’s results for the period from April 1, 2006 to March 30, 2007.
The acquisition of COTCO has been accounted for using the purchase method of accounting in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 141 (“SFAS 141”). In accordance with SFAS 141, the purchase price of the COTCO acquisition has been preliminarily allocated to the acquired assets and liabilities based upon their estimated fair values. Any excess purchase price has been allocated to goodwill. The Company has not completed a final determination of the required purchase accounting adjustments. Accordingly, the adjustments made in connection with preparing the Unaudited Pro Forma Combined Condensed Financial Statements are preliminary and have been made solely for purposes of preparing the Unaudited Pro Forma Combined Condensed Financial Statements.
The Unaudited Pro Forma Combined Condensed Financial Statements provided below have been prepared for comparative purposes only. The actual financial position and results of operations of the Company (as combined with COTCO) may differ significantly from the pro forma amounts reflected. The Unaudited Pro Forma Combined Condensed Financial Statements provided below are not necessarily indicative of the actual operating results or the financial position of the Company had the acquisition occurred as of the date indicated above and do not purport to indicate operating results or the financial condition of the Company which may be attained in the future. The Unaudited Pro Forma Combined Condensed Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s previously reported financial statements and COTCO’s financial statements included with this report. The pro forma adjustments do not reflect any potential operating efficiencies or cost savings that may be attained by the Company as a result of the acquisition of COTCO.

Transaction costs and expenses | 2,865 | |
| | |
Total estimated purchase price | $ 207,142 | |
The following summarizes the preliminary purchase price allocation as of March 25, 2007 (in thousands):
Cash | $ 1,110 | |
Accounts receivable | 20,377 | |
Inventory | 22,081 | |
Other current assets | 54 | |
Property, plant and equipment | 24,050 | |

Under the purchase method of accounting, the total estimated consideration as shown in the table above is allocated to the tangible and intangible assets and liabilities based on their estimated fair values as of the closing date of the transaction, with any excess being ascribed to goodwill. Management is primarily responsible for determining the fair value of these assets. Management has preliminarily estimated the fair values of the tangible and intangible assets and liabilities reflected in the Unaudited Pro Forma Combined Condensed Financial Statements based on a number of factors, including preliminary valuations and prior transactions. A final determination of these fair values will be based on the actual net tangible and intangible assets and liabilities of COTCO that exist on the closing date, and could differ materially from the amounts estimated above.
March 25, 2007 Unaudited Pro Forma Combined Condensed Balance Sheet Adjustment Notes
(a) | To record consideration paid by the Company in funding the acquisition. The purchase price was paid by using cash of $77.3 million and issuance of 7,604,785 shares of the Company’s Common Stock valued at $126.9 million. Additionally, the Company paid $0.2 million for direct expenses associated with the acquisition subsequent to March 25, 2007. |
(b) | To eliminate inter-company payables and receivables as of March 25, 2007 as COTCO was one of the Company’s LED customers prior to acquisition. Since the COTCO balance sheet as of March 30, 2007 and they made a payment subsequent to March 25, 2007 the elimination is as follows (in thousands): |
Cree Accounts Receivable elimination | ($ 3,834 | ) |
COTCO Accounts Payable elimination | (850 | ) |
Cree Cash increase for cash in transit | $ 2,984 | |
(c) | To record preliminary Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 141 (“SFAS 141”) fair value adjustments for COTCO acquisition tangible, intangible assets and goodwill as a result of the purchase price exceeding the net tangible and intangible assets acquired. These adjustments are preliminary and based on management’s estimates. The amount ultimately allocated to the tangible and intangible assets may differ from this preliminary allocation. The estimated useful life of the customer relationship and developed technology is 7 years. The trade names and license agreements estimated useful lives are 2 years or less and the in-process research and development was expensed at acquisition. The following table summarizes the components of the acquired intangible assets (in thousands): |
Customer relationships | $ 51,000 | |
Trade names and license agreements | 150 | |
Developed technology | 7,220 | |
Total | $ 58,370 | |
| The table below shows the increases or (decreases) to the carrying value of certain other acquired assets and liabilities in order to reflect such account balances at their estimated fair values as of the acquisition date (in thousands): |
Accounts Receivable | (223 | ) |
Inventory | 4,560 | |
Other current assets | 54 | |
Property, plant and equipment | (3,824 | ) |
Deferred taxes | (44 | ) |
| The excess of the purchase price over the estimated fair value of acquired assets and liabilities results in goodwill of approximately $96.6 million as of March 25, 2007. |
(d) | To eliminate $1.8 million profit recognized on inventory sold by the Company to COTCO that remains in inventory at March 25, 2007. |
(e) | To reclass $2.4 million of COTCO acquisition direct expenses incurred and capitalized by Cree as of March 25, 2007 that were included in the purchase price consideration and allocated in c above. |
