Ameripath Incorporated

Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

On January 31, 2006, AmeriPath Inc. (“The Company” or “AmeriPath”) completed its acquisition (the “Acquisition”) of Specialty Laboratories, Inc. (“Specialty”) in a transaction valued at approximately $335.2 million. Specialty is a leading hospital-focused clinical reference laboratory specializing in esoteric testing. Under the terms of the merger agreement, the Company acquired all common shares of Specialty’s common stock outstanding at closing for $13.25 per common share, or $317.4 million. The Company paid $197.8 million in cash and issued $119.6 million in AmeriPath Holdings, Inc.’s common stock. In addition, AmeriPath paid $9.7 million in cash for outstanding stock options of Specialty. Pursuant to the terms of the merger agreement, Specialty’s outstanding stock options became fully vested and exercisable and were canceled in exchange for the right to receive an amount, for each share subject to the stock option, equal to the excess of $13.25 per share over the exercise price per share of such option. The aggregate purchase price of approximately $335.2 million includes transaction costs of approximately $8.1 million.

In conjunction with the merger of Specialty, the Company terminated its existing senior credit facility and the Company entered into a new senior credit facility (the “New Credit Facility”) with a syndicate of financial institutions led by Wachovia Bank and Citigroup Global Markets, Inc. The new senior credit facility consists of a $203.5 million term loan and a $95.0 million revolving credit facility. The Company borrowed $203.5 million of the term loan and $52.0 million of the revolving credit facility to fund a portion of the Specialty merger consideration, to pay certain transaction costs related to the merger, and to refinance existing indebtedness of the Company.

For the purposes of these unaudited pro forma combined condensed financial statements, the Acquisition is assumed to have occurred as of January 1, 2005 with respect to the unaudited pro forma combined condensed statement of operations and as of December 31, 2005 with respect to the unaudited pro forma combined condensed balance sheet.

The Acquisition will be accounted for under the purchase method. As such, the cost to acquire Specialty will be allocated to the respective assets and liabilities acquired based on their estimated fair values at the closing of the Acquisition. Because these unaudited pro forma combined condensed financial statements have been prepared based on preliminary estimates of fair values attributable to the Acquisition, the actual amounts recorded for the Acquisition may differ materially from the information presented in these unaudited pro forma combined condensed financial statements. The total purchase price has been allocated on a preliminary basis to assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on managements best estimates of fair value, with the excess cost over the net tangible and identifiable assets acquired being allocated to goodwill. The Company retained the services of a third party valuation firm to assist in the preliminary valuation of the intangible assets. These allocations are subject to change pending a final analysis of the fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed as well as the impact of integration activities, which could result in material changes from the information presented.

The pro forma information presented is for illustrative purposes only and is not necessarily indicative of the operating results or financial position that would have been achieved if the Acquisition had occurred on January 1, 2005, nor is it indicative of future operating results or financial position. The unaudited pro forma combined condensed financial statements do not reflect any operating efficiencies and cost savings that the Company may achieve with respect to the combined companies. The pro forma information should be read in conjunction with the accompanying notes thereto, and in conjunction with the historical consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes of AmeriPath and Specialty included in the respective annual reports on Form 10-K and quarterly reports on Form 10-Q. The pro form adjustments are based upon available information and certain assumptions that the Company believes are reasonable.

2. BALANCE SHEET PRO FORMA ADJUSTMENTS

 

  (a) Reflects the cash proceeds of $255.5 million from the new senior credit facility the Company entered into net of $4.0 million in deferred financing costs and net of $129.1 million to pay down existing debt. The Company used the net proceeds from the new senior credit facility to pay the purchase price of the Acquisition, pay down existing debt, and pay related transaction costs associated with the acquisition of Specialty. The new senior credit facility consists of a $203.5 million term loan and a $95.0 million revolving credit facility. The related deferred financing costs will be capitalized and amortized over the respective term of the new senior credit facility.

 

  (b) Reflects the purchase of the outstanding common shares and stock options of Specialty, and the payment of transaction costs associated with the Acquisition of Specialty. In connection with the Acquisition, AmeriPath paid $13.25 per common share in cash or $197.8 million and issued $119.6 million in AmeriPath Holdings, Inc.’s common stock. In addition AmeriPath paid $9.7 million in cash for outstanding stock options of Specialty. Pursuant to the merger agreement, Specialty’s outstanding stock options became fully vested and exercisable and were canceled in exchange for the right to receive an amount, for each share subject to the stock option, equal to the excess of $13.25 per share over the exercisable price per such option. The aggregate cash purchase price includes transaction costs of approximately $8.1 million.

 

  (c) Reflects an equity cash investment of $46.1 million by Welsh, Carson, Anderson, and Stowe IX (“WCAS”) and other shareholders to help fund the Specialty Acquisition.10-K, WCAS owns a majority of the outstanding shares of AmeriPath.

 

  (d) Reflects the cash payment of $129.0 million to pay off the existing senior credit facility and an increase of $255.5 million related to the cash proceeds from the Company’s new senior credit facility to fund the Acquisition.

 

  (e) Represents the reduction in unamortized deferred financing costs of $3.3 million related to the refinancing and repayment of AmeriPath’s existing senior credit facility and the capitalization of $4.0 million related to the deferred financing of the new senior credit facility.


  (f) To record the preliminary purchase price allocation to goodwill of $182.0 million and intangible assets of $53.4 million as though the Acquisition had occurred on the balance sheet date of December 31, 2005. The pro forma adjustment for goodwill differs from the amount shown in Note 1 as a result of different tangible net asset balances as of December 31, 2005 (the date of the unaudited pro forma combined condensed balance sheet) and January 31, 2006 (the date of the Acquisition). The majority of the difference in goodwill, or $14.3 million, relates to an increase in assumed liabilities as of January 31, 2006 as compared to December 31, 2005. Specialty has leased lab space that is idle and will remain idle post Acquisition. Per Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF) 95-3, “Recognition of Liabilities in a Purchase Business Combination”, the costs of a leased acquired facility that will remain idle qualifies as exit costs, which should be recognized as a liability assumed and included as part of the cost of the acquired enterprise.

 

  (g) To eliminate $0.5 million of direct Acquisition-related costs incurred by AmeriPath which were recorded as prepaid expenses prior to the Acquisition close.

 

  (h) To record the following adjustments to stockholders’ equity (in millions):

 

Represents rollover shares from Specialty to AmeriPath in connection with the Specialty Acquisition

   $ 119.6  

Represents cash equity investment from WCAS

     46.1  

Represents the elimination of Specialty’s historical stockholders’ equity

     (103.7 )
        

Total adjustments to stockholders’ equity

   $ 62.0  
        

 

3. INCOME STATEMENT PRO FORMA ADJUSTMENTS

 

  (i) To record the pro forma decrease of $0.8 million in interest income resulting from cash utilization in connection with the Acquisition. Based on actual cash paid for the Acquisition and the average historical interest rates earned on Specialty funds.

 

  (j) The pro forma adjustment to net interest expense of $7.6 million represents the assumed increase in interest expense associated with AmeriPath’s new senior credit facility, the net proceeds of which were used to finance the Acquisition of Specialty, pay transaction costs, and refinance existing debt. The increase in our term loan facility and our revolving credit facility resulting from the Acquisition was $104.5 million and $22.0 million, respectively.

 

  (k) In connection with the Specialty Acquisition, the Company terminated its exiting credit facility and entered into a new credit facility. This $3.4 million represents the write off of deferred financing costs related to the credit facility that was terminated.

 

  (l) To decrease the pro form combined U.S. provision for income taxes by $7.7 million to arrive at the amount that would have resulted had AmeriPath and Specialty filed consolidated income tax returns during the periods presented.
