UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONSOLIDATED STATEMENTS OF INCOME
ACQUISITION OF HOWARD S. LEIGHT & ASSOCIATES, INC.
On February 27, 1998, Bacou USA Safety, Inc. ("Bacou Safety"), a
wholly-owned subsidiary of Bacou USA, Inc. ("Bacou") consummated the following
transactions (collectively, the "Leight Acquisition") (i) its acquisition of
substantially all of the operating assets of Howard S. Leight & Associates, Inc.
(d/b/a Howard Leight Industries) ("Leight"), (ii) its acquisition of all of the
capital stock of Howard Leight de Mexico S. A. de C.V. ("Leight Mexico") (except
for one share of capital stock which was purchased by Bacou in order to satisfy
a statutory requirement that Leight Mexico have two stockholders) from Leight
and Howard S. Leight ("H. Leight"), and (iii) its acquisition of all of the
capital stock of Howard Leight (Europe) Limited ("Leight Europe") from H. Leight
and John Dean. The Leight Acquisition is more fully described in a Form 8-K
filed March 13, 1998.
Leight, together with Leight Mexico and Leight Europe design, manufacture
and sell a complete line of hearing protection products, including disposable
ear plugs, reusable ear plugs and ear muffs. Leight's principal business
location is in San Diego, California. Assets acquired include physical property,
intellectual property and working capital. Bacou intends to continue to use
acquired physical property for the manufacture of hearing protection products.
Bacou paid cash consideration of $125.9 million in connection with the
closing of the Leight Acquisition, $5.9 million of which represented the
refinancing of Leight indebtedness. Funding of the cash consideration was
provided by the following: (i) an advance of $110.0 million under Bacou's term
loan facility with Banque Nationale de Paris; (ii) an advance of $14.3 million
under Bacou's revolving credit line facility with Citizens Bank of Rhode Island;
and (iii) the balance from Bacou's cash balances.
ACQUISITION OF COMASEC HOLDINGS, INC.
On May 3, 1997 Bacou also completed its acquisition of Comasec Holdings,
Inc. ("Comasec") and its wholly-owned subsidiary Survivair, Inc. ("Survivair"),
a manufacturer of respiratory protection products, for cash consideration of
$27.4 million (the "Survivair Acquisition"). The Survivair Acquisition is more
fully described in a Form 8-K filed June 16, 1997.
BASIS OF PRESENTATION
Pro forma statement of income data for the six months ended June 30, 1998
and the year ended December 31, 1997, each included herein, give pro forma
effect to the Leight Acquisition as if it had been consummated on January 1,
1997. Pro forma statement of income data for the year ended December 31, 1997
also gives effect to the Survivair Acquisition as if it had been consummated on
January 1, 1997.
The unaudited pro forma information is based on the historical consolidated
statements of income of Bacou, Leight and Comasec under the assumptions and
adjustments set forth in the accompanying Notes to the Unaudited Pro Forma
Consolidated Statements of Income. The Unaudited Pro Forma Statements of Income
do not give effect to anticipated cost savings, if any, in connection with the
acquisitions unless there are specifically identifiable expense reductions that
result from the purchase agreements that set forth the acquisitions.
The unaudited pro forma information should be read in conjunction with the
consolidated historical financial statements of Bacou, Leight and Comasec
including the respective notes thereto. The unaudited pro forma data is
presented for comparative purposes only and is not necessarily indicative of the
combined results of operations which would have been realized had the Leight
Acquisition and Survivair Acquisition been consummated during the period or as
of the date for which the unaudited pro forma data is presented. The unaudited
pro forma information is also not indicative of future results of operations.
