Notes to Pro Forma Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

(Unaudited)

Pro Forma Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as of May 31, 2006

 

  (1) This pro forma adjustment reflects the deconsolidation of the assets and liabilities of the Building Products business, and presents that business as if they had been accounted for under the equity method of accounting. The resulting investment in the Building Products business reflects OMNOVA’s equity in that entity.

 

  (2) This pro forma adjustment reflects the sale of the above-referenced business, including the following:

 

  a. Cash received from the sale of approximately $29.0 million and the retention by OMNOVA of $10.5 million of existing Building Products trade accounts receivable. Consistent with the Company’s intent to use the proceeds to repay debt, the pro forma adjustment reflects the utilization of $16.7 million to reduce certain borrowings. Additionally, under the terms of the Indenture governing the Company’s 11 1/4% Senior Secured Notes, the Company has shown as restricted cash $12.3 million, which represents the amount of the fair value of the property, plant and equipment of the business sold which was pledged as collateral.

 

  b. A pre-tax and after-tax gain of approximately $18.0 million will be recorded by the Company. No income tax effect was recorded due to the net operating loss carryforwards of the Company.

Cash received from the sale is subject to a final working capital adjustment.

Pro Forma Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations for the Three and Six Months Ended May 31, 2006, and the Fiscal Year Ended November 30, 2005

 

  (3) This pro forma adjustment reflects the elimination of the revenues and expenses of the Building Products business for the three and six months ended May 31, 2006, and the fiscal year ended November 30, 2005, giving effect to the sale of that business as if it had occurred on December 1, 2004. The pro forma adjustment to interest expense reflects the reduction in consolidated interest expense assuming the Company’s use of $16.7 million of the net cash proceeds to repay certain debt outstanding.

Since the pro forma condensed consolidated statements of income reflect results from continuing operations, they do not include the gain on the sale of the business.
