ITEM 7. FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND EXHIBITS (b) Unaudited pro forma financial information Introductory Statement - ---------------------- On August 31, 2000, Edwards Lifesciences Corporation and its affiliate, Edwards Lifesciences LLC (the Company), completed the sale of most of the assets associated with its Bentley line of cardiopulmonary products (also called "perfusion products") to two affiliates of Jostra AG, a German corporation, for cash proceeds of approximately $30 million. The assets sold to Jostra include products which are used to support the heart during stopped-heart cardiac surgery, for example, disposable oxygenators, blood reservoirs and filters, hardware and related products, and are located primarily in the United States, Puerto Rico and Western Europe. The following unaudited pro forma consolidated condensed statements of income for the six months ended June 30, 2000 and for the year ended December 31, 1999 give effect to the sale by the Company of its perfusion products as if the sale had occurred on January 1 of each period, and the unaudited pro forma consolidated condensed balance sheet at June 30, 2000 gives effect to the sale as if the disposition had occurred at June 30, 2000. The unaudited pro forma financial information does not purport to be indicative of either the results of future operations or the results of operations that would have occurred had the disposition been consummated on the dates indicated. The pro forma financial information is based upon currently available information and certain assumptions that the Company believes are reasonable under the circumstances. The unaudited pro forma financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company's historical combined financial statements and notes thereto previously filed in the Company's Information Statement on Form 10 for the year ended December 31, 1999, and the Company's Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the six months ended June 30, 2000.

(b) In accordance with Statements of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 121, "Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed Of," and Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 100, "Restructuring and Impairment Charges," the Company recorded a pre-tax impairment charge of $291 million in the second quarter of 2000 to reduce the carrying value of the assets sold to fair value based upon the estimated net proceeds from the sale. Assets subject to this impairment charge consisted primarily of goodwill ($245 million) and special-use manufacturing and support assets. The goodwill impairment charge was calculated based upon a pro rata allocation of the goodwill using the relative fair values of the affected long-lived assets and identifiable intangibles acquired at the inception date of the goodwill. (c) No earnings per share data for the historical six months ended June 30, 2000 and the year ended December 31, 1999 is presented as the Company's earnings were part of Baxter International Inc.'s earnings through the close of business on March 31, 2000. Due to the net loss for the six months ended June 30, 2000, the pro forma basic and diluted net loss per share are the same amounts since the impact of the common stock equivalents would be anti-dilutive. (d) To record the removal of assets of operations sold. (e) To record receipt of estimated cash proceeds of $30 million. ITEM 7.
