NOTES TO PRO FORMA CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)

1.     Basis of Presentation

On May 9, 2006, the Company announced that it entered into a definitive agreement to sell Phase II-IV of the Clinical Services business for $215,000 in cash as part of a portfolio realignment which would allow the Company to capitalize on core competencies.  In addition, during the second quarter of 2006 the Company made a decision to close its Interventional and Surgical Services (ISS) business, which was formerly included in its Preclinical Services segment.  Effective in the second quarter of 2006, the Company reported the assets and liabilities of Phase II-IV of the Clinical Services business and the ISS business as held for sale and reported the results of operations for Phase II-IV of the Clinical Services business and the ISS business as discontinued operations in accordance with SFAS No. 144, “Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets.”  The current assets being disposed of include accounts receivable, deferred income taxes and other current assets. Non-current assets include property, plant and equipment, goodwill and other intangible assets and deferred income taxes. Current liabilities consist of accounts payable, deferred income and accrued expenses. Non-current liabilities consist of lease obligations.

The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated balance sheet reflects the disposition of Phase II-IV of the Clinical Services business and the ISS business as if it had occurred on July 1, 2006.  The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated statements of operations for the fiscal years ended December 25, 2004 and December 31, 2005 give effect to the disposition of Phase II-IV of the Clinical Services business and the ISS business as if it had occurred at the beginning of each of the periods presented.  Phase II-IV of the Clinical Services business was acquired by the Company on October 20, 2004, as part of a merger agreement with Inveresk Research Group; accordingly, the pro forma financial statements included herein do not include activity for Phase II-IV of the Clinical Services business prior to October 20, 2004.

The pro forma information related to the sale of Phase II-IV of the Clinical Services business is based on the net book value of net assets sold as of July 1, 2006. Accordingly, the Company’s actual recording of the disposition, including the final sale proceeds, may differ from the pro forma financial information based on the net book value of net assets as of the closing date. The pro forma financial information does not purport to indicate the future financial position or future results of the Company’s operations.

2.     Pro Forma Adjustments

The pro forma financial statements have been adjusted as follows ($ in thousands):

a.     To segregate the operations of Phase II-IV of the Clinical Services business which exclude corporate expense allocations for corporate management and administrative costs and include income tax allocations for activities in each tax

7




 

jurisdiction.  All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated.

b.     To segregate the operations of the ISS business, which management has committed to abandoning, for comparability to the Company’s publicly filed financial statements included in its quarterly report on Form 10-Q dated July 1, 2006.

c.     To include cash proceeds from the sale of Phase II-IV of the Clinical Services business.

d.     To include estimated taxes due on sale of Phase II-IV of the Clinical Services business.

e.     To include the estimated loss on sale of net assets of Phase II-IV of the Clinical Services business of $3,199 plus $40,000 estimated taxes due on sale.

f.      Represents outstanding net assets of the ISS business that will be realized in the process of discontinuing the operations.
