LERNOUT & HAUSPIE SPEECH PRODUCTS N.V.
UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
In June 1999, Lernout & Hauspie Speech Products N.V. (the "Company")
acquired Brussels Translation Group N.V. ("BTG"), a Belgian corporation, for
approximately $42.3 million, including acquisition costs. In May 2000, the
Company acquired Dictaphone Corporation ("Dictaphone") for approximately $533.4
million, including 9,384,198 shares of Lernout & Hauspie common stock,
approximately $31.5 million in cash and approximately $12.4 million in
acquisition costs.
As part of the acquisition of Dictaphone, the Company obtained $430 million
in credit facilities (the "Revolving Credit Facility") to pay a portion of the
purchase price, to repay certain Dictaphone liabilities and for general
corporate purposes. The Revolving Credit Facility consists of a short-term
facility due March 31, 2001, of $200 million at LIBOR plus 100 basis points and
a five-year declining balance facility of $230 million at LIBOR plus 175 basis
points. Borrowings under the five-year declining balance facility are for
renewable terms of up to six months and therefore will be accounted for as
short-term debt. On May 5, 2000, $200 million from the short-term debt facility
and $30 million from the five-year declining balance facility were used to repay
certain Dictaphone accrued expenses and long-term debt and to retire all of
Dictaphone's outstanding 14% PIK Preferred Stock. The Company used remaining
proceeds to fund a portion of the purchase price. Funding under the five-year
declining balance facility will be available to cover $200 million of
Dictaphone's senior subordinated notes should they be put to the Company within
90 days of the closing by noteholders at 101% of par, as permitted by the terms
of the notes.
The Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations of
the Company for the year ended December 31, 1999 and the three months ended
March 31, 2000 (the "Pro Forma Statements of Operations") give effect to these
acquisitions as if they had occurred on January 1, 1999. The Pro Forma
Statements of Operations are based on the historical results of operations of
the Company and of BTG for the six months ended June 30, 1999 and of Dictaphone
for the year ended December 31, 1999 and the three months ended March 31, 2000.
The Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet gives effect to the
Dictaphone acquisition as if it had occurred on March 31, 2000. The Unaudited
Pro Forma Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and the accompanying notes
should be read in conjunction with and are qualified by the consolidated
financial statements and related notes and "Management's Discussion and Analysis
of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" included in the Company's 1999
annual report on Form 10-K and March 31, 2000 quarterly report on Form 10-Q.
The Pro Forma Financial Information has been prepared in accordance
with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States ("US GAAP")
and gives effect to the acquisitions of BTG and Dictaphone using the purchase
method of accounting. In accordance with US GAAP, the purchase price is
allocated to the assets and liabilities of the respective companies based on
their fair values at the respective dates of acquisition.
The Pro Forma Financial Information is intended for informational
purposes only and is not necessarily indicative of the future financial position
or future results of operations of the consolidated company after the
acquisitions of BTG and Dictaphone, or of the financial position or results of
operations of the consolidated company that would have actually occurred had the
acquisitions of BTG and Dictaphone been effected as of the date or on the first
date of the period presented.

(h) In March 1997, the Company entered into a software development and
commercialization agreement with BTG (the "BTG Agreement") in which the
Company agreed to provide engineering services for the development of the
Machine Translation Software. The Company completed its work under the BTG
Agreement in early 1999.
During the six months ended June 30, 1999, BTG paid the Company
approximately $2 million for engineering work performed under the BTG
Agreement. The pro forma adjustment reflects the combined operations in
which intercompany revenues and expenses are eliminated.
(i) The costs of engineering associated with the BTG Agreement for the six
months ended June 30, 1999 were $781,000 and were included in cost of
language technologies and cost of consulting and services. The pro forma
adjustment reflects the reclassification of these costs to research and
development expense, reflecting a full year of combined operations.
(j) To reflect the amortization of goodwill associated with the BTG acquisition
over an estimated useful life of 15 years.
(k) To reflect the elimination of the historical amortization of goodwill and
