Item 2.01 Completion of Acquisition or Disposition of Assets.

Sale of Visage Imaging Business

On January 27, 2009, Mercury Computer Systems, Inc. (the “Company”) closed on the sale of its Visage Imaging business to Australia-based Pro Medicus Limited (“Buyer”). In the sale transaction, the Company sold to Buyer all of the shares in the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiary, Visage Imaging, Inc., and its affiliate, Visage Imaging GmbH, as well as certain of the Company’s assets used in the Visage Imaging business. In connection with the sale, Buyer agreed to assume certain commitments of the Company related to the Visage Imaging business. The Company has retained liability for taxes incurred by the Visage Imaging business prior to the closing and certain employment-related liabilities, and remains subject to post-closing indemnification claims by Buyer. The gross consideration for the sale was $3 million in cash, which remains subject to post-closing adjustment based on the net assets and net working capital of the Visage Imaging business. Of the proceeds, a total of $1.1 million was subject to holdback and/or placed in escrow for general indemnification purposes and employee-termination payments to be incurred by Buyer.

 

Item 9.01 Financial Statements and Exhibits.

 

(b) Pro forma financial information

The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial statements below have been prepared by applying pro forma adjustments to the consolidated financial statements included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, 2008 and Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the three month period ended September 30, 2008. The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated statements of operations reflect the transaction described in Item 2.01 above, assuming the transaction had been consummated as of the beginning of the fiscal period presented. The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated balance sheet reflects the transaction described in Item 2.01 above, assuming it had been consummated as of September 30, 2008.

The pro forma adjustments, as described in the notes to the unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial statements, are based upon available information and certain assumptions that we believe are reasonable. The allocations are preliminary in nature and subject to change following the transaction based on refinements as actual data becomes available. The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the historical financial statements and the related management’s discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations, which are contained in the Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the three month period ended September 30, 2008 and the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, 2008.

The unaudited pro forma financial information is for informational purposes only and does not purport to present what the Company’s results would actually have been had this transaction actually occurred on the dates presented or to project our results of operations or financial position for any future period.

Forward-Looking Statements

This report contains certain forward-looking statements, as that term is defined in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, including those relating to the agreement to sell wholly-owned subsidiary Visage Imaging, Inc. and Visage Imaging GmbH to Pro Medicus Limited. You can identify these statements by our use of the words “may,” “will,” “should,” “plans,” “expects,” “anticipates,” “continue,” “estimate,” “project,” “intend,” and similar expressions. These forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those projected or anticipated. Such risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to, general economic and business conditions, including unforeseen weakness in the Company’s markets, effects of continued geo-political unrest and regional conflicts, competition, changes in technology and methods of marketing, delays in completing engineering and manufacturing programs, changes in customer order patterns, changes in product mix, continued success in technological advances and delivering technological innovations, continued funding of defense programs, the timing of such funding, changes in the U.S. Government’s interpretation of federal procurement rules and regulations, market acceptance of the Company’s products, shortages in components, production delays due to performance quality issues with outsourced components, inability to fully realize the expected benefits from acquisitions or delays in realizing such benefits, challenges in integrating acquired businesses and achieving anticipated synergies, and difficulties in retaining key customers. These risks and uncertainties also include such additional risk factors as are discussed in the Company’s filings with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, including its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2008. The Company cautions readers not to place undue reliance upon any such forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date made. The Company undertakes no obligation to update any forward-looking statement to reflect events or circumstances after the date on which such statement is made.

MERCURY COMPUTER SYSTEMS, INC.

NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(IN THOUSANDS)

 

(a) Reflects the elimination of the results of operations for the Visage Imaging business.

 

(b) Reflects the inclusion of the dilutive effect of the weighted average common stock equivalents in the denominator of the Company’s earnings per share calculation.

 

(c) The Company’s consolidated financial results for the year ended June 30, 2008 have been adjusted to reflect the disposal of its former Biotech business unit, which was disposed and reported as a discontinued operation in the three months ended September 30, 2008.

 

(d) Reflects the effect on the Company’s consolidated income tax expense calculation as a result of the elimination of the results of operations for the Visage Imaging business.

 

(e) Reflects the elimination of the assets, liabilities and cumulative foreign currency translation adjustment related to the Visage Imaging business, including the resulting loss on the sale, assuming the sale had been consummated on September 30, 2008. The gross consideration for the sale of the Visage Imaging business was $3,000, however, after deducting estimated transaction related expenses including legal costs, transaction advisory fees and employee termination and other employee-related costs associated with the transaction, the net proceeds are estimated to be approximately $250. The estimated calculation of the loss on the sale, assuming the sale had been consummated on September 30, 2008, is as follows:

 

Net proceeds from the sale of the Visage Imaging business

   $ 250  

Net assets of the Visage Imaging business

     (14,890 )

Cumulative foreign currency translation adjustment related to the Visage Imaging business

     4,663  
        

Loss on sale

   $ (9,977 )
        

The Company recorded an impairment charge related to the goodwill and other intangible assets of the Visage Imaging business during its quarter ended December 31, 2008 in the amount of $14,555. As a result, the loss on the sale of the Visage Imaging business, when recorded in the Company’s consolidated statement of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2009 should be considerably less than the amount reflected above.
