SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION Washington, DC 20549 ------------------------------------------- AMENDMENT NO. 1 ON FORM 8-K/A CURRENT REPORT Pursuant to Section 13 or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 Date of Report (Date of earliest event reported): July 30, 1997 ________________________________________ THERMOQUEST CORPORATION (Exact name of Registrant as specified in its charter) Delaware 1-14262 77-0407461 (State or other (Commission (I.R.S. Employer jurisdiction of File Number) Identification Number) incorporation or organization) 2215 Grand Avenue Parkway Austin, Texas 78728-3812 (Address of principal executive offices) (Zip Code) (617) 622-1000 (Registrant's telephone number including area code) PAGE FORM 8-K/A Item 2. Acquisition or Disposition of Assets On July 30, 1997, ThermoQuest Corporation (the "Company") entered into an agreement to acquire three business units within the Laboratory Products Group (the "Laboratory Products Businesses") of the Life Sciences International PLC ("Life Sciences") subsidiary of Thermo Instrument Systems Inc. ("Thermo Instrument"), the Company's majority owner. The Company also agreed to acquire Life Sciences' Hypersil operations ("Hypersil"). In March 1997, Thermo Instrument acquired approximately 95% of the outstanding shares of Life Sciences, a London Stock Exchange-listed company. Subsequently, Thermo Instrument acquired the remaining shares of Life Sciences' capital stock. The Laboratory Products Businesses develop, manufacture, and distribute laboratory equipment and supplies to the research and analytical chemistry laboratory marketplace. Hypersil manufactures liquid chromatography media and columns used in high performance liquid chromatography in the pharmaceutical, food and beverage, chemical production, and forensic science markets. The aggregate purchase price for the Laboratory Products Businesses and Hypersil is approximately $160.1 million, and represents the sum of the net tangible book value of the acquired businesses at June 28, 1997, plus a percentage of Thermo Instrument's total cost in excess of net assets acquired associated with its acquisition of Life Sciences, based on the 1996 revenues of the acquired businesses relative to Life Sciences' 1996 consolidated revenues. The purchase price for the Laboratory Products Businesses and Hypersil is subject to a post-closing adjustment based on final determination of the net tangible book value of the acquired businesses and a final calculation of Thermo Instrument's total cost in excess of net assets acquired associated with the acquisition of Life Sciences. The acquisition is being made pursuant to an Asset and Share Purchase Agreement dated as of July 30, 1997 (the "Agreement"), between the Company and Thermo Instrument. The aggregate purchase price for the Laboratory Products Businesses and Hypersil consists of (i) $107.0 million in cash, (ii) 1,000 shares of common stock of the Company, and (iii) the assumption of $53.1 million of debt payable to Thermo Instrument. Because the Company, the Laboratory Products Businesses, and Hypersil were deemed for accounting purposes to be under control of their common majority owner, Thermo Instrument, the transaction has been accounted for in a manner similar to a pooling of interests. Accordingly, the Company's financial statements include the results of the Laboratory Products Businesses and Hypersil from March 12, 1997, the date these businesses were acquired by Thermo Instrument. In connection with the acquisition of the Laboratory Products Businesses and Hypersil, the Company is in the process of restructuring the acquired businesses. This restructuring is expected to include reductions in staffing levels, abandonment of excess facilities, and possible other costs associated with exiting certain activities of the acquired businesses. Except as set forth above, the Company has no present intention to use the assets of the Laboratory Products Businesses and Hypersil for purposes materially different from the purposes for which such assets were used prior to the acquisition. However, the Company will continue to review such businesses' assets, corporate structures, capitalizations, operations, properties, policies, management, and personnel and, upon completion of this review, may develop additional or alternative plans or proposals, including mergers, transfers of a material amount of assets or other additional transactions or changes relating to such businesses. 2PAGE FORM 8-K/A Item 7. Financial Statements, Pro Forma Combined Condensed Financial Information and Exhibits (a) Financial Statements of Business Acquired Attached hereto. 3PAGE LABORATORY PRODUCTS BUSINESSES OF LIFE SCIENCES INTERNATIONAL PLC Combined Financial Statements For the Year Ended December 31, 1996 PAGE Independent Auditors' Report The Board of Directors and Shareholders of ThermoQuest Corporation: We have audited the accompanying combined balance sheet of the Laboratory Products Businesses (as defined in Note 1) of Life Sciences International PLC as of December 31, 1996, and the related combined statements of income, invested equity, and cash flows for the year then ended.

We conducted our audit in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the 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.

Basis of Presentation and Combination On July 30, 1997, ThermoQuest Corporation (ThermoQuest) entered into an agreement to acquire certain businesses from Life Sciences International PLC (Life Sciences), a subsidiary of Thermo Instrument Systems Inc. (Thermo Instrument). Thermo Instrument acquired Life Sciences on March 12, 1997. These combined financial statements include the following businesses acquired by ThermoQuest: Forma Scientific, Inc. (Forma Scientific) and its subsidiaries, International Equipment Company, Inc. and Savant, Inc. (Savant), Life Sciences International GmbH, Life Sciences International UK Limited, Life Sciences International Hong Kong Limited, E-C Apparatus Limited and Hypersil, a division of Life Sciences International Europe Limited. The combination of the businesses listed above is collectively referred to herein as the Laboratory Products Businesses of Life Sciences International PLC or "the Company." All material transactions between the companies combined herein have been eliminated. Transactions with other companies within the Life Sciences group are described as "affiliate" transactions. The Company develops, manufactures, and distributes laboratory equipment and supplies to the research and analytical chemistry laboratory marketplace. 2. Significant Accounting Policies Revenue Recognition The Company recognizes product revenues upon shipment of its products and recognizes service contract revenues ratably over the term of the contract. The Company provides a reserve for its estimate of warranty and installation costs at the time of shipment. Cash and Cash Equivalents Cash equivalents include only highly liquid debt instruments purchased with original maturity dates of three months or less. Inventories Inventories are stated at the lower of cost (on a first-in, first-out or weighted average basis) or market value and include materials, labor, and manufacturing overhead, as applicable. 8PAGE LABORATORY PRODUCTS BUSINESSES OF LIFE SCIENCES INTERNATIONAL PLC Notes to Combined Financial Statements (continued) 2. Significant Accounting Policies (continued) Property, Plant, and Equipment The costs of additions and improvements are capitalized, while maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred. The Company provides for depreciation and amortization using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the property as follows: buildings and improvements, 5 to 40 years and machinery and equipment, 3 to 10 years. Goodwill Goodwill recorded in connection with Life Sciences' acquisition of Forma Scientific and Savant is amortized using the straight-line method with lives ranging from 16 to 22 years. The Company periodically assesses the future useful life of these assets, and in particular whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the current useful life has diminished. The Company considers the future undiscounted cash flows of the acquired companies in assessing the recoverability of these assets. If impairment has occurred, any excess of carrying value over fair value is recorded as a loss. Income Taxes The Laboratory Products businesses' operations are included in groups that file consolidated or combined income tax returns with other Life Sciences operations. Life Sciences' intercompany tax allocation policy has been based on the income taxes calculated on a separate return basis for each subsidiary. Income taxes payable are therefore included with accounts payable to affiliates in the accompanying combined balance sheet. The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes." Under the asset and liability method of SFAS No. 109, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. Under SFAS No. 109, the effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. 9PAGE LABORATORY PRODUCTS BUSINESSES OF LIFE SCIENCES INTERNATIONAL PLC Notes to Combined Financial Statements (continued) 2. Significant Accounting Policies (continued) Foreign Currency All assets and liabilities of the Company's foreign units included in the accompanying combined financial statements are translated at year-end exchange rates, and revenues and expenses are translated at average exchange rates for the year. Resulting translation adjustments are reflected as a separate component of invested equity titled "Cumulative translation adjustment." Foreign currency transaction gains and losses are included in the accompanying combined statement of income and are not material for the year presented. Estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. 3. Inventories Inventories as of December 31, 1996, consisted of the following: Raw materials $ 8,029 Work-in-process 4,029 Finished goods 9,067 ------- $21,125 ======= 4. Property, Plant, and Equipment Property, plant, and equipment as of December 31, 1996, consisted of the following: Land $ 3,099 Buildings and improvements 14,847 Machinery and equipment 17,955 ------- 35,901 Less: Accumulated depreciation 14,183 ------- $21,718 ======= Depreciation expense for the year ended December 31, 1996, was $2,737. 10PAGE LABORATORY PRODUCTS BUSINESSES OF LIFE SCIENCES INTERNATIONAL PLC Notes to Combined Financial Statements (continued) 5. Related-party Transactions The Company had the following transactions with related parties during the year ended December 31, 1996. Accounts Receivable from/Payable to Affiliates - Accounts receivable from affiliates totaling $21,411 as of December 31, 1996, result primarily from the sale of products made in the ordinary course of business to other Life Sciences' businesses not combined herein. Accounts payable to affiliates totaling $15,542 as of December 31, 1996, result from the purchase of products and services made in the ordinary course of business from other Life Sciences' businesses not combined herein and from centralizing cash balances from several of Life Sciences' U.S. operations. These accounts receivable and accounts payable are considered due on demand and have therefore been classified as current assets or current liabilities, as applicable. Loans from Parent Company - Forma Scientific issued a $42,000 note payable bearing interest at 10% per annum to Life Sciences International Europe Limited on November 12, 1984. The note requires repayment of the outstanding balance, $30,618 as of December 31, 1996, on November 12, 1997. The Company has other intercompany loans payable to Life Sciences totaling $36,500 as of December 31, 1996. The loans bear interest at rates ranging from 6.2% to 8.7%, but do not have formal repayment terms. As repayment was not expected within one year, the loans have been classified as noncurrent. Advances to/from Affiliates - Advances to affiliates and advances from affiliates do not have specified repayment terms and have been classified as noncurrent since settlement is not expected within one year. Interest free advances to affiliates totaled $925 and interest free advances from affiliates totaled $8,124 as of December 31, 1996. The remaining advances bear interest at rates which averaged approximately 7% for the year ended December 31, 1996. Sales to/Purchases from Affiliates - Sales to and purchases from affiliates occurred in the normal course of business under the Life Sciences operating structure. The Company believes these transactions were made at arms-length terms. Management Fees - Life Sciences charged management fees totaling $946 to the Company for the year ended December 31, 1996. 11PAGE LABORATORY PRODUCTS BUSINESSES OF LIFE SCIENCES INTERNATIONAL PLC Notes to Combined Financial Statements (continued) 6. Indebtedness The Company has outstanding $400 of Industrial Development Revenue Bonds bearing interest at a variable rate, which averaged 3.7% for the year ended December 31, 1996. The bonds mature as follows: December 1, 1997, $200; December 1, 1998, $200. 7. Employee Benefit Plans Forma Scientific sponsors a defined benefit pension plan that covers substantially all of its employees. The benefits are based on years of service and the employee's compensation. Forma Scientific makes annual contributions to the plan based on the funding standard developed by the plan's actuary. The contributions required to fund the plan were determined according to projected unit credit method. The following table sets forth the plan's funded status and amounts recognized in the Company's balance sheet as of December 31, 1996. The following table sets forth the plan's funded status and amounts recognized in the Company's balance sheet as of December 31, 1996. Actuarial present value of benefit obligation Vested benefit obligation $(5,871) Nonvested benefit obligations (557) ------- Accumulated benefit obligation $(6,428) ======= Projected benefit obligation $(8,715) Plan assets at fair value 7,818 ------- Projected benefit obligation in excess of plan assets (897) Unrecognized prior service cost (31) Unrecognized net loss 26 ------- Accrued pension costs included in accrued compensation $ (902) ======= The assets of the plan are held in a trust and are invested in a variety of debt and equity securities. 12PAGE LABORATORY PRODUCTS BUSINESSES OF LIFE SCIENCES INTERNATIONAL PLC Notes to Combined Financial Statements (continued) 7. Employee Benefit Plans (continued) Net pension cost for the year ended December 31, 1996, under this plan included the following components: Service cost $ 466 Interest cost 586 Actual return on plan assets (828) Net deferral and amortization 216 ------- Net pension cost $ 440 ======= Assumptions used in accounting for this pension plan as of and for the year ended December 31, 1996, were as follows: Discount rate 7.50% Rate of increase in compensation levels 4.50% Expected long-term rate of return on assets 8.75% The Company also sponsors several defined contribution plans. Participating employees contribute various percentages of their salary on a pre-tax basis. The companies provide matching contributions which are limited to a specified percentage of the employees salary (generally 4%). The charge to operations for the Company's matching contributions was $527 for the year ended December 31, 1996. The employees of Hypersil and Life Sciences International UK Limited participate in the Life Sciences' defined benefit pension plan under which benefits are based on final pensionable salary. The assets of the plan are maintained in a separate trust and the plan was fully funded as of April 1, 1995, the date of the latest actuarial valuation. For purposes of these combined financial statements, this pension plan has been treated as a multi-employer arrangement. No pension expense was allocated to the Company under this plan since such amount was not material. 8. Income Taxes The components of income before provision for income taxes are as follows: Domestic $ 9,697 Foreign 4,362 ------- $14,059 ======= 13PAGE LABORATORY PRODUCTS BUSINESSES OF LIFE SCIENCES INTERNATIONAL PLC Notes to Combined Financial Statements (continued) 8. Income Taxes (continued) The components of the current and deferred portions of provision for income taxes for the year ended December 31, 1996, are as follows: Current income taxes: Federal $ 3,965 Foreign 1,520 State 945 ------- 6,430 ------- Deferred income taxes: Federal 349 State 83 ------- 432 ------- $ 6,862 ======= The Company's provision for income taxes for the year ended December 31, 1996, differs from the provision calculated at the federal statutory rate of 35% due to the following factors: Statutory federal income tax $ 4,921 State tax on income (net of federal income tax benefit) 668 Goodwill amortization 1,086 Nondeductible expenses 141 Other 46 ------- $ 6,862 ======= Significant components of the Company's deferred tax assets and liabilities as of December 31, 1996, are as follows: Deferred tax assets: Inventory $ 463 Accrued compensation 205 Other reserves and accruals 506 ------- 1,174 ------- Deferred tax liabilities: Tax depreciation in excess of book 611 ------- Net deferred tax assets $ 563 ======= 14PAGE LABORATORY PRODUCTS BUSINESSES OF LIFE SCIENCES INTERNATIONAL PLC Notes to Combined Financial Statements (concluded) 8. Income Taxes (continued) There was no valuation allowance established against the deferred tax assets as of December 31, 1996. The ultimate realization of the deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of sufficient future taxable income which management believes is more likely than not at this time. 9. Geographic Information and Export Sales The Company operates in a single segment: developing, manufacturing, and distributing laboratory equipment and supplies for the research and analytical chemistry laboratory marketplace. A summary of information based on the Company's legal entity locations by geographical area as of and for the year ended December 31, 1996, follows: Sales Sales Operating Identi- to to Total Income fiable Customers Affiliates Sales (Loss) Assets --------- ---------- -------- ------- -------- United States $ 96,649 $14,698 $111,347 $14,826 $129,860 United Kingdom 23,790 733 24,523 4,530 11,796 Germany 11,802 54 11,856 (257) 4,600 Far East and Australia 369 533 902 (76) 983 -------- ------- -------- ------- -------- $132,610 $16,018 $148,628 $19,023 $147,239 ======== ======= ======== ======= ======== United States sourced sales to external customers include export sales as follows: Europe $ 6,094 Far East and Australia 8,832 Other 9,442 ------- $24,368 ======= 10. Contingencies In the normal course of its operation, the Company is subjected to claims and legal actions, including product liability claims, contract disputes, and employment-related disputes or litigation. In the opinion of management, based upon information presently available, none of these matters are likely to have a significant adverse effect on the Company's results of operations or financial position. 15PAGE FORM 8-K/A Item 7. Financial Statements, Pro Forma Combined Condensed Financial Information and Exhibits (b) Pro Forma Combined Condensed Financial Information The following unaudited pro forma combined condensed financial statement sets forth the results of operations for the year ended December 28, 1996, as if the acquisition of the Laboratory Products Businesses by the Company had occurred at the beginning of 1996 and assuming there are no post-closing purchase price adjustments. Because the Company and the Laboratory Products Businesses were deemed for accounting purposes to be under control of their common majority owner, Thermo Instrument, the transaction has been accounted for in a manner similar to a pooling of interests. Accordingly, the Company's financial statements (including the financial statements included as part of the Company's Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 28, 1997) include the results of the Laboratory Products Businesses from March 12, 1997, the date these businesses were acquired by Thermo Instrument. As a result, pro forma information has not been provided as of and for the six months ended June 28, 1997. The pro forma results of operations are not necessarily indicative of future operations or the actual results that would have occurred had the acquisition of the Laboratory Products Businesses been consummated at the beginning of 1996. The financial statements of the Laboratory Products Businesses filed under part (a) of this item should be read in conjunction with the pro forma combined condensed financial statement. 4PAGE FORM 8-K/A THERMOQUEST CORPORATION PRO FORMA COMBINED CONDENSED STATEMENT OF INCOME Year Ended December 28, 1996 (Unaudited) Historical Pro Forma ----------------------- ---------------------- Laboratory Products ThermoQuest Businesses Adjustments Combined ----------- ------------ ----------- --------- (In thousands except per share amounts) Revenues (includes $16,018 from related party) $313,793 $148,628 $ - $462,421 -------- -------- -------- -------- Costs and Operating Expenses: Cost of revenues (includes $10,760 for related-party revenues) 167,438 91,603 1,039 260,080 Selling, general, and administrative expenses 77,371 32,481 280 110,132 Research and development expenses 21,821 5,521 - 27,342 -------- -------- -------- -------- 266,630 129,605 1,319 397,554 -------- -------- -------- -------- Operating Income 47,163 19,023 (1,319) 64,867 Interest Income (includes $949 from related party) 8,905 1,234 (6,153) 3,986 Interest Expense (includes $6,082 to related party) (7,328) (6,198) 3,029 (10,497) -------- -------- -------- -------- Income Before Provision for Income Taxes 48,740 14,059 (4,443) 58,356 Provision for Income Taxes 20,717 6,862 (2,001) 25,578 -------- -------- -------- -------- Net Income $ 28,023 $ 7,197 $ (2,442) $ 32,778 ======== ======== ======== ======== Earnings per Share $ .59 $ .69 ======== ======== Weighted Average Shares 47,677 1 47,678 ======== ======== ======== See notes to pro forma combined condensed statement of income. 5PAGE FORM 8-K/A THERMOQUEST CORPORATION NOTES TO PRO FORMA COMBINED CONDENSED STATEMENT OF INCOME (Unaudited) Note 1 - Basis of Presentation The allocation of the purchase price is based on an estimate of the fair market value of the net assets acquired and is subject to adjustment.
