NOTES TO UNAUDITED INTERIM CONSOLIDATED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

June 30, 2008

     The accompanying Unaudited Interim Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) for interim financial statements and the instructions to Form 10-Q and Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X. The year-end condensed balance sheet data was derived from audited financial statements, but does not include all disclosures required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) considered necessary for a fair statement of the results for interim periods have been included. Results for interim periods should not be considered indicative of results for a full year.  These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes thereto included in the Company’s most recent Form 10-K filed February 25, 2008.

 

NOTE 1 - SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

The accounting policies of DENTSPLY International Inc., as applied in the consolidated interim financial statements presented herein, are substantially the same as presented on pages 51 through 56 of the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2007, except as indicated below:

 

Accounts and Notes Receivable-Trade

 

Accounts and notes receivables - trade are stated net of allowances for doubtful accounts and trade discounts, which were $18.7 million and $18.9 million at June 30, 2008 and December 31, 2007, respectively.

 

Fair Value Measurement

 

In September 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the “FASB”) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157 (“SFAS 157”), “Fair Value Measurements,” which requires the Company to define fair value, establish a framework for measuring fair value in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”), and expand disclosures about fair value measurements. SFAS 157 applies under other accounting pronouncements that require or permit fair value measurements. SFAS 157 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007, and interim periods within those fiscal years.

 

On February 12, 2008, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position No. SFAS 157-2, “Effective Date of FASB Statement No. 157,” which amends SFAS 157 by delaying its effective date by one year for non-financial assets and non-financial liabilities, except for items that are recognized or disclosed at fair value in the financial statements on a recurring basis. Therefore, beginning on January 1, 2008, this standard applies prospectively to new fair value measurements of financial instruments and recurring fair value measurements of non-financial assets and non-financial liabilities. On January 1, 2009, the standard will also apply to all other fair value measurements. The Company has adopted SFAS 157 and has presented the required disclosures in Note 12, Fair Value Measurement.

 

Fair Value Option

 

In February 2006, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 159 (“SFAS 159”), “The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities.” SFAS 159 permits entities to choose to measure financial instruments and certain other items at fair value that are not currently required to be measured at fair value. This will allow entities the opportunity to mitigate volatility in reported earnings caused by measuring related assets and liabilities differently. SFAS 159 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years ending after November 15, 2007. While SFAS 159 became effective for the Company’s 2008 fiscal year, the Company did not elect the fair value measurement option for any of the Company’s financial assets or liabilities not already recorded at fair value.

 

New Accounting Pronouncements

 

In December 2007, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 141(R) (“SFAS 141(R)”), “Business Combinations.” It requires the acquiring entity in a business combination to recognize all assets acquired and liabilities assumed in the transaction, establishes the acquisition-date fair value as the measurement objective for all assets acquired and liabilities assumed, and requires the acquirer to disclose the nature and financial effect of the business combination. SFAS 141(R) is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008. The Company will adopt SFAS 141(R) in the first quarter of fiscal year 2009 and is currently evaluating the impact the adoption will have on the Company’s financial statements.

- 6 -

 

       In December 2007, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 160 (“SFAS 160”), “Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements.” This statement amends Accounting Research Bulletin No. 51, “Consolidated Financial Statements,” to establish accounting and reporting standards for the noncontrolling interest in a subsidiary and for the deconsolidation of a subsidiary. SFAS 160 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008. The Company will adopt SFAS 160 in the first quarter of fiscal year 2009 and is currently evaluating the impact the adoption will have on the Company’s financial statements.

 

       In March 2008, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 161 (“SFAS 161”), ”Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities.” SFAS 161 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008. This statement amends and expands the disclosure requirements of SFAS 133, “Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging.” The Company will adopt SFAS 161 in the first quarter of fiscal year 2009 and is currently evaluating the impact the adoption will have on the Company’s financial statements.

 

       In May 2008, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 162 (“SFAS 162”), ”The Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles.” This statement identifies the sources of accounting principles and the framework for selecting the principles to be used in the preparation of financial statements of nongovernmental entities that are presented in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

        

NOTE 2 – STOCK COMPENSATION  

 

The Company maintains the 2002 Equity Incentive Plan (the “Plan”) under which it may grant non-qualified stock options, incentive stock options, restricted stock, restricted stock units (“RSU”) and stock appreciation rights, collectively referred to as “Awards.” Awards are granted at exercise prices that approximate the fair market value of the common stock on the grant date. The Plan authorized grants of 14,000,000 shares of common stock, plus any unexercised portion of cancelled or terminated stock options granted under the DENTSPLY International Inc. 1993 and 1998 Plans, subject to adjustment as follows: each January, if 7% of the total outstanding common shares of the Company exceed 14,000,000, the excess becomes available for grant under the Plan. No more than 2,000,000 shares may be awarded as restricted stock and restricted stock units, and no key employee may be granted restricted stock units in excess of 150,000 shares of common stock in any calendar year.

 

Stock options generally expire ten years after the date of grant under these plans and grants become exercisable over a period of three years after the date of grant at the rate of one-third per year, except when they become immediately exercisable upon death, disability or qualified retirement. Restricted stock units vest 100% on the third anniversary of the date of grant and are subject to a service condition, which requires grantees to remain employed by the Company during the three year period following the date of grant. In addition to the service condition, certain key executives are subject to performance requirements. It is the Company’s practice to issue shares from treasury stock when options are exercised.

 

Under SFAS 123(R), the Company continues to use the Black-Scholes option-pricing model to estimate the fair value of each award. The assumptions used to calculate the fair value of the awards granted are evaluated and revised, as necessary, to reflect market conditions and the Company’s experience.

 

The following table represents total stock based compensation expense and the tax related benefit for the three and six months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007:

Options to purchase 1.3 million and 1.4 million shares of common stock that were outstanding during the three and six months ended June 30, 2008, respectively, were not included in the computation of diluted earnings per share since the options’ exercise prices were greater than the average market price of the common shares and, therefore, the effect would be antidilutive. Antidilutive shares during the three and six months ended June 30, 2007, were 1.4 million and 1.6 million, respectively.

 

NOTE 5 - BUSINESS ACQUISITIONS

 

One of the Company’s 2005 acquisitions and one of the Company’s 2007 acquisitions included provisions for possible additional payments based on the post closing performance of the individual businesses. During the first six months of 2008, the Company paid $2.4 million in additional purchase price under these agreements.

 

NOTE 6 - SEGMENT INFORMATION

 

The Company follows Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 131 ("SFAS 131"), “Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information.” SFAS 131 establishes standards for disclosing information about reportable segments in financial statements. The Company has numerous operating businesses covering a wide range of products and geographic regions, primarily serving the professional dental market. Professional dental products represented approximately 97% and 97% of sales for the periods ended June 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively.

 

The operating businesses are combined into operating groups, which have overlapping product offerings, geographical presence, customer bases, distribution channels, and regulatory oversight. These operating groups are considered the Company’s reportable segments under SFAS 131 as the Company’s chief operating decision-maker regularly reviews financial results at the operating group level and uses this information to manage the Company’s operations. The accounting policies of the groups are consistent with those described in the most recently filed 10-K Consolidated Financial Statements in the summary of significant accounting policies. The Company measures segment income for reporting purposes as net operating profit before restructuring, interest and taxes.

This business group includes the responsibility for the design, manufacture, world-wide sales and distribution for laboratory products, excluding certain laboratory products mentioned earlier, and the design, manufacture, and/or sales and distribution of the Company’s dental implant products and bone substitute/grafting materials, excluding sales and distribution of implants and bone substitute/grafting materials in the United States, Italy, Asia, Australia and sales and distribution of implants in Brazil. This business group is also responsible for the Company’s non-dental business.

 

Significant interdependencies exist among the Company’s operations in certain geographic areas. Inter-group sales are at prices intended to provide a reasonable profit to the manufacturing unit after recovery of all manufacturing costs and to provide a reasonable profit for purchasing locations after coverage of marketing and general and administrative costs.

 

Generally, the Company evaluates performance of the operating groups based on the groups’ operating income, excluding restructuring and other costs, and net third party sales, excluding precious metal content.

The presentation of net sales, excluding precious metal content, is considered a measure not calculated in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”), and is therefore considered a non-GAAP measure. This non-GAAP measure is discussed further in “Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” and a reconciliation of net sales, excluding precious metal content, to net sales is provided below.

NOTE 7 - INVENTORIES

 

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market. At June 30, 2008 and December 31, 2007, the cost of $10.3 million, or 3.7%, and $10.6 million, or 4.1%, respectively, of inventories was determined by the last-in, first-out (“LIFO”) method. The cost of other inventories was determined by the first-in, first-out (“FIFO”) or average cost methods. The Company establishes reserves for inventory estimated to be obsolete or unmarketable equal to the difference between the cost of inventory and estimated market value based upon assumptions about future demand and market conditions. The inventory valuation reserves were $30.7 million and $26.2 million as of June 30, 2008 and December 31, 2007, respectively.

 

If the FIFO method had been used to determine the cost of LIFO inventories, the amounts at which net inventories are stated would be higher than reported at June 30, 2008 and December 31, 2007 by $5.3 million and $4.4 million, respectively.

 

Inventories, net of inventory valuation reserves, consist of the following:

NOTE 10 – FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS AND DERIVATIVES

 

Financial Instruments

 

The Company believes the carrying amounts of short-term investments, accounts receivable (net of allowance for doubtful accounts), prepaid expenses and other current assets, accounts payable, accrued liabilities, income taxes payable and notes payable approximate fair value due to the short-term nature of these instruments. The Company estimates the fair value and carrying value of its total long-term debt, including the current portion, was $576.8 million as of June 30, 2008. The fair value of the Company’s long-term debt approximates its carrying value as the Company’s debt is variable rate and reflects current market rates. The interest rates on private placement notes, revolving debt and commercial paper are variable and therefore the fair value of these instruments approximates their carrying values.

 

Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities

 

The Company uses interest rate swaps, cross currency interest rate swaps, commodity swaps, forward exchange contracts, and foreign currency denominated debt held at the parent company level to manage risks generally associated with foreign exchange rates, interest rates and commodity price fluctuations. The aggregate pre-tax net fair value of the Company’s derivative instruments at June 30, 2008 and December 31, 2007 was negative $243.3 million and negative $141.6 million, respectively. For a more detailed discussion of the Company’s derivative instruments, refer to the Company’s 2007 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

 

Cash Flow Hedges

           

The Company uses interest rate swaps to convert a portion of its variable rate debt to fixed rate debt. The Company selectively enters into commodity swaps to effectively fix certain variable raw material costs. The Company enters into forward exchange contracts to hedge the foreign currency exposure of its anticipated purchases of certain inventory from Japan. In addition, forward exchange contracts are used by certain of the Company’s subsidiaries to hedge intercompany inventory purchases, which are denominated in foreign currencies.
