The Acquired Businesses' information includes the acquisition by the Company of CAT and the Division. Certain amounts reported in the Acquired Business' historical financial information have been reclassified to conform with the Company presentations in the Unaudited Historical and Pro Forma Combined Balance Sheets and Statements of Operations. The Unaudited Historical and Pro Forma balance sheets, statements of operations and the notes thereto giving effect to the acquisition of the Acquired Businesses by the Company have been prepared assuming the Company elected to treat the transaction as a stock acquisition, which will provide no step up in basis for income tax purposes. NOTE 2--ACCOUNTING PERIOD The pro forma periods for the quarter ended May 4, 1996 are the historical financial reporting periods of both the Company and the Acquired Businesses. The Company and the Acquired Businesses have historically reported a 13-or 14-week reporting period. NOTE 3--PURCHASE PRICE DETERMINATION The purchase price of $47.3 million was computed assuming (i) the issuance of 1,800,000 shares of common stock of the Company at a price of $20.00 per share, (ii) cash consideration of $9.3 million, and (iii) the assumption of the obligation to make payment to the president of CAT of approximately $2.0 million becoming due under his existing employment agreement with CAT as a result of the CAT/Cygne Transaction. The cash portion of the purchase price (including the obligation to the president of CAT) will be provided by additional bank borrowings, assumed to be approximately $11.3 million at 8% per annum. The aggregate purchase price includes an amount payable to an executive of CAT pursuant to his employment contract, which requires a payment to him based on the value of the shares of CAT being transferred. NOTE 4--PRO FORMA ADJUSTMENTS The following items were recorded as adjustments to effect the combination of the Company and the Acquired Businesses. 4(a) Adjustments recorded to reflect (i) the elimination of amounts due to/from the Company and the Acquired Businesses, and (ii) the elimination of advances made to the Division. 4(b) Adjustments to reduce the inventories of CAT and the Division to the current fair value, and the elimination of advances made to the Division. 4(c) The elimination of the investment account on the Company's books for the 40% interest in CAT. 4(d) Adjustment recorded to reflect the creation of goodwill representing the excess of purchase price over net assets acquired which results in a $36.9 million adjustment, based on management's estimate and without the performance of any due diligence procedures. Accordingly, such estimate of goodwill is preliminary and subject to change. At this time, the Company has not attributed any value to intangible assets other than goodwill. 4 NOTES TO UNAUDITED HISTORICAL AND PRO FORMA COMBINED BALANCE SHEETS, STATEMENTS OF OPERATIONS AND NOTES THERETO--(CONTINUED) NOTE 4--PRO FORMA ADJUSTMENTS--(CONTINUED) 4(e) Adjustment to record a liability for an estimate of fees related to the CAT/Cygne Transaction. 4(f) Adjustments to reflect a portion of the purchase price expected to be financed through additional bank borrowings. 4(g) Common stock, additional paid-in capital and retained earnings have been adjusted to eliminate the equity balances of the Acquired Businesses and reflect the common stock and additional paid-in capital for the issuance of 1,800,000 shares of common stock of the Company at an assumed price of $20.00 per share. 4(h) To eliminate sales previously recorded by the Acquired Businesses against the cost of sales previously recorded by the Company. Cost of sales is reduced by the reclassification of certain expenses discussed in Notes 4(i) and 4(j). 4(i) To reclassify interest expense from cost of sales as reported in the Acquired Businesses' historical financial information to interest expense, to conform with the Company's presentations. 4(j) Historically, the Acquired Businesses have classified certain expenses as selling, general and administrative expenses. An adjustment has been recorded to reclassify certain expenses, such as costs of design and procurement, to cost of sales. 4(k) Adjusted to reflect the charge relating to the amortization of goodwill, which represents the excess of purchase price over net assets acquired. Such goodwill will be amortized over a 25 year life. 4(l) The elimination of the equity in earnings of 40% of the net income of CAT by the Company and the related income tax expense. 4(m) The income tax provision represents the assumed effective tax rate for the Acquired Businesses assuming (i) approximately 50% of the Acquired Businesses' income is foreign source and not subject to U.S. taxation until repatriation and (ii) amortized goodwill is not deductible. 5
