ITEM 9.01  FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND EXHIBITS

(a). Financial Statements of Businesses Acquired.

As previously reported, on April 19, 2006, pursuant to the terms of an Asset and Share Purchase Agreement and an Asset Purchase Agreement between KEMET Corporation and certain of its subsidiaries (the “Company”) and EPCOS AG, a German corporation (“EPCOS”), the Company completed the purchase of the Tantalum Business Unit of EPCOS on April 13, 2006 for a purchase price of EUR 78.5 million (approximately $95.0 million). The acquisition, which was accounted for as a purchase, included all of the issued share capital of EPCOS-Pecas e Componentes Electronicos S.A. and certain other assets of the Tantalum Business Unit of EPCOS, primarily in Germany. Of the EUR 78.5 million, KEMET paid in cash approximately EUR 68.3 million (approximately $82.7 million) and assumed certain liabilities and working capital adjustments of EUR 10.2 million. As previously announced, the acquisition does not include EPCOS’ tantalum capacitor manufacturing facility in Heidenheim, Germany. As a result, KEMET and EPCOS have entered into a manufacturing and supply agreement under which EPCOS will continue to produce product exclusively for KEMET at the Heidenheim facility to ensure a continued supply of product to customers during the transition period. Once the transition is completed in September 2006, KEMET will purchase one of the Heidenheim manufacturing assets and the research and development assets at a cost of EUR 8.0 million (approximately $9.7 million). The Company is in the process of settling the final purchase price with EPCOS and will make any additional adjustments, if necessary.

The purchase price was determined through arms-length negotiations between representatives of the Company and EPCOS.

The following financial statement of the Tantalum Business Unit of EPCOS is included as Exhibit 99.8 to this Current report on Form 8-K/A:

(1)          Audited financial statement of the Tantalum Business Unit of EPCOS for the year ended September 30, 2005.

(b). Unaudited Pro Forma Financial Information.

The following unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Balance Sheet as of December 31, 2005 and the unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Statement of Income for the quarter ending December 31, 2005, the unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Statement of Income for the nine month period ending December 31, 2005, and the unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Statement of Income for the year ending March 31, 2005 give effect to the purchase of the Tantalum Business Unit of EPCOS. The unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Financial Information should be read in conjunction with:

(1)                                  the accompanying Notes of the unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Balance Sheet and Notes to the unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Statements of Income

(2)                                  the audited financial statements of the Tantalum Business Unit of EPCOS included as Exhibit 99.8 to this Current Report on Form 8-K/A

2




(3)                                  the Company’s Annual Reports on Form 10-K for the year ended March 31, 2006 and 2005 and the Company’s Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 2005, September 30, 2005 and December 31, 2005, respectively.

The financial statements of the Tantalum Business Unit of EPCOS, included as Exhibit 99.8, have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

The acquisition of the Tantalum Business Unit of EPCOS will use the purchase method of accounting in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. Accordingly, the purchase consideration for acquiring the Tantalum Business Unit of EPCOS will be allocated to the tangible and intangible assets acquired and the liabilities assumed, with the excess being allocated to goodwill and presented as an intangible asset. A preliminary allocation of the purchase price of the Tantalum Business Unit of EPCOS has been reflected in the unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Financial Information. A final allocation of the purchase price of the Tantalum Business Unit of EPCOS is ongoing and is dependent on the completion of certain valuations and other studies which are expected to be completed prior to the end of fiscal year 2007.

The unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Financial Statements are provided for illustrative purposes only and do not represent what actual results of operations or financial position would have been had the acquisition of the Tantalum Business Unit of EPCOS occurred on the respective dates assumed, nor are they necessarily indicative of the Company’s future operating results.

See accompanying Notes to Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Balance Sheet

Note 1 — Basis of Presentation

The unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Balance Sheet as of December 31, 2005 has been prepared assuming the Company’s acquisition of the Tantalum Business Unit of EPCOS AG, more fully described in Item 2.01 and Exhibit 99.1 of the Company’s previously filed Current Report on Form 8-K dated April 19, 2006, had occurred on December 31, 2005. The Company has a fiscal year that ends March 31st, whereas EPCOS AG has a fiscal year that ends September 30th. The Pro Forma Condensed Combined Balance Sheet at December 31, 2005 includes the unaudited balance sheet of the Company and the unaudited balance sheet of the Tantalum Business Unit of EPCOS, both of which are dated December 31, 2005.

The historical financial statement of the Tantalum Business Unit of EPCOS AG contained in Item 9.01(a) of this Current Report on Form 8-K/A are denominated in Euros and have been prepared in accordance with

4




U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. In addition, the amounts are presented in U.S. Dollars using average exchange rates of 0.8260 U.S. Dollar per Euro for the period presented.

The unaudited pro forma financial information does not give effect to any potential synergies that could result from the acquisition.

Note 2 — Pro Forma Adjustments

Pro Forma adjustments to reflect the acquisition of the Tantalum Business Unit of EPCOS AG are described below.

a.               EXCESS OF PURCHASE PRICE OVER FAIR VALUE OF NET ASSETS ACQUIRED:

Cash consideration paid to EPCOS

 

$

82,740

 

Future cash to be paid to EPCOS

 

9,686

 

Estimated transaction expenses

 

4,419

 

 

 

 

 

Total purchase price

 

96,845

 

Estimated fair value of net assets of Tantalum Business Unit of EPCOS (see Note 2b).

 

 

 

 

 

(85,951

)

Identifiable intangible assets

 

(2,812

)

 

 

 

 

Excess of purchase price over fair value of net assets acquired

 

 

 

 

 

$

8,082

 

 

 

 

 

Amount allocated to goodwill

 

$

8,082

 

 

Certain intangible assets, such as patents and non-compete agreements have been identified and have been assigned a fair value as part of the ongoing purchase price allocation exercise.

b.              ESTIMATED FAIR VALUE OF NET ASSETS OF BUSINESS ACQUIRED:

Historical book value of the target’s assets and liabilities

 

$

108,589

 

 

 

 

 

Adjustments to reflect fair value:

 

 

 

Property, plant and equipment

 

(9,724

)

Liabilities and unfavorable commitments

 

(10,048

)

Changes in accounting policies

 

(3,401

)

Deferred taxes

 

378

 

Other

 

157

 

Preliminary fair value adjustments

 

(22,638

)

 

 

 

 

Estimated fair value of net assets of the

 

 

 

Tantalum Business Unit of EPCOS at acquisition

 

$

85,951

 

 

The allocation of the purchase price is based upon preliminary estimates of the fair value. The actual allocation of the purchase price may differ from the preliminary allocation due to adjustments to the purchase price and refinements of the fair values of the net assets acquired.

c.                           KEMET did not purchase the entire Tantalum Business Unit of EPCOS. These adjustments are necessary to remove the effect of the assets that were not purchased at April 13, 2006.

 

5




d.                          KEMET funded the acquisition of the Tantalum Business Unit of EPCOS through the sale of substantially all of its short-term investments and a portion of its long-term investments.

e.                           Prior to the sales of the investments as described in note d, KEMET had accounted for its debt investments as “Investments Held to Maturity.”  Due to the usage of these investments to acquire the Tantalum Business Unit of EPCOS, the Company changed the method by which it accounted for these debt investment to “Available for Sale.”  Accordingly, the Company had to “mark-to-market” these investments.

Business Unit of EPCOS. The unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Statement of Income for the nine month period ending December 31, 2005 includes the unaudited nine month periods ending December 31, 2005 for both the Company and for the Tantalum Business Unit of EPCOS. Finally, the unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Statement of Income for the year ending March 31, 2005 includes the audited fiscal year ending March 31, 2005 for the Company and the unaudited twelve month period ending March 31, 2005 for the Tantalum Business Unit of EPCOS.

The historical financial statements of the Tantalum Business Unit of EPCOS contained in Item 9.01(a) to this Current Report on Form 8-K/A are denominated in Euros and have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. In addition, the amounts are presented in U.S. Dollars using average exchange rates of 0.8260 U.S. Dollar per Euro for all periods presented.

Note 2 — Pro Forma Adjustments

Pro forma adjustments to reflect the acquisition of the Tantalum Business Unit of EPCOS and other pro forma adjustments are described below. The pro forma amounts do not include anticipated synergies from the acquisition.

a.                                       Adjustments result from a decrease in depreciation expense related to the fair value adjustment of the properties, plant and equipment acquired from the Tantalum Business Unit of EPCOS using the straight-line method over the estimated useful life of the respective assets.

b.                                      Adjustment relates to the decrease in interest income as a result of the Company’s sale of its short-term and long-term investments which were used to purchase the Tantalum Business Unit of EPCOS.

c.                                       An adjustment for the tax consequences of the unaudited pro forma adjustments was not necessary due to tax benefit being offset by valuation allowances.

d.                                      Adjustment needed to account for an unfavorable contract assumed in the transaction. This adjustment is to account for the pro forma relief to the periods in question relating to this item.

(d).          Exhibits.

The following documents related to the purchase of the Tantalum Business Unit of EPCOS are being filed as Exhibits 99.8 and 99.9, respectively to this Current Report on Form 8-K/A:
