Report of Independent Auditors
To the Liquidator of B Medical Systems Holding S.A. (in liquidation)
Opinion
We have audited the accompanying consolidated financial statements of B Medical Systems Holding S.A. (in liquidation) and its subsidiaries (the “Company”), which comprise the consolidated balance sheets as of 31 December 2021 and 2020, and the related consolidated profit and loss accounts for the years then ended, including the related notes (collectively referred to as the “consolidated financial statements”) which, as described in Note 3.1 to the consolidated financial statements, have been prepared on the basis of accounting principles generally accepted in Luxembourg.
In our opinion, the accompanying consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of 31 December 2021 and 2020, and the results of its operations for the years then ended in accordance with Luxembourg legal and regulatory requirements relating to the preparation and presentation of the consolidated financial statements.
Basis for Opinion
We conducted our audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America (US GAAS). Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditors’ Responsibilities for the Audit of the Consolidated Financial Statements section of our report. We are required to be independent of the Company and to meet our other ethical responsibilities, in accordance with the relevant ethical requirements relating to our audit. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.
Basis of Accounting
As discussed in Note 3.1 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company prepares its consolidated financial statements on the basis of accounting principles generally accepted in Luxembourg, which differs from accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Our opinion is not modified with respect to this matter.
Emphasis of Matter
We draw attention to Note 3.1 to the consolidated financial statements, which refers to the Extraordinary Meeting of the sole Shareholder of B Medical Systems Holding S.A. (in liquidation) held on 4 October 2022, during which it was decided to voluntarily put B Medical Systems Holding S.A. (in liquidation) into liquidation. As further described in Note 3.1, these consolidated financial statements have still been prepared using a going concern basis of accounting. Our audit report is not modified in respect of this matter.

Responsibilities of the Liquidator of B Medical Systems Holding S.A. (in liquidation) for the consolidated financial statements
The Liquidator of B Medical Systems Holding S.A. (in liquidation) (the “Liquidator”) is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the consolidated financial statements in accordance with Luxembourg legal and regulatory requirements relating to the preparation and presentation of the consolidated financial statements, and for the design, implementation, and maintenance of internal control relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of consolidated financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the consolidated financial statements, the Liquidator is responsible for assessing the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for at least, but not limited to, twelve months from the end of the reporting period, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the Liquidator either intends to liquidate the Company or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.
Auditors’ Responsibility for the Audit of the consolidated financial statements
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditors’ report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance but is not absolute assurance and therefore is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with US GAAS will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control. Misstatements are considered material if there is a substantial likelihood that, individually or in the aggregate, they would influence the judgment made by a reasonable user based on the consolidated financial statements.
In performing an audit in accordance with US GAAS, we:
| ● | exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit; |
| ● | identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, and design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks. Such procedures include examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements; |
| ● | obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control. Accordingly, no such opinion is expressed; |
| ● | evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of significant accounting estimates made by the Liquidator, as well as evaluate the overall presentation of the consolidated financial statements; |
| ● | conclude whether, in our judgment, there are conditions or events, considered in the aggregate, that raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for a reasonable period of time. |
2
We are required to communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit, significant audit findings, and certain internal control-related matters that we identified during the audit.

Notes to the consolidated annual accounts
Note 3 - Summary of significant accounting policies
3.1Basis of preparation
The consolidated annual accounts have been prepared in accordance with Luxembourg legal and regulatory requirements under the historical cost convention and going concern assumption, which assumes the realisation of assets and the discharge of liabilities in the normal course of business for the foreseeable future.
The decision to voluntarily put the Company into liquidation on 4 October 2022, as further described in note 25, has not impacted the basis of preparation of these consolidated annual accounts. The liquidation is only attributable to the Company, which at the liquidation date has transferred its sole subsidiary (the group B Medical), to another company, which continues to exist as of today.
Accounting policies and valuation rules are, besides the ones laid down by the Law of 19 December 2002, as amended, determined and applied by the Management.
The preparation of the consolidated annual accounts requires the use of certain critical accounting estimates. It also requires the Management to exercise its judgement in the process of applying the accounting policies. Changes in assumptions may have a significant impact on the consolidated annual accounts in the period in which the assumptions changed. Management believes that the underlying assumptions are appropriate and that the consolidated annual accounts therefore present the consolidated financial position and results fairly.
The Management makes estimates and assumptions that may affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities in the next financial year. Estimates and judgements are continually evaluated and are based on historical experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances.
3.2Significant accounting policies
The main valuation rules applied by the Company are the following:
3.2.1Intangible assets
Intangible assets are valued at purchase price including the expenses incidental thereto or at production cost, less cumulated depreciation, amounts written off and value adjustments. Where the Group considers that an intangible asset has suffered from a durable depreciation in value, an additional write-down is recorded to reflect this loss. These value adjustments are not continued if the reasons for which the value adjustments were made have ceased to apply.
Costs of development
Costs of development are amortised on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives, which is 3 years.
Concessions, patents, licences, trademarks and similar rights and assets
All such items are amortised on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives, which is as follows:
Licences |
| 4 years |
|
Trademarks | | 10 years | |
Test products | | 3 years | |

3.2.2Tangible assets
Tangible assets are valued at purchase price including the expenses incidental thereto or at production cost. Tangible assets are depreciated over their estimated useful economic lives.

In case of a durable depreciation in value according to the opinion of the Management, value adjustments are made in respect of fixed assets, so that they are valued at the lower figure to be attributed to them at the balance sheet date. These values adjustments are not continued if the reasons for which the value adjustments were made have ceased to apply.
3.2.4Stocks of raw materials and consumables

Solely the unrealised exchange losses are recorded in the profit and loss account. The realised exchange gains are recorded in the profit and loss account at the moment of their realisation.
Assets and liabilities of the annual accounts of foreign subsidiaries are converted at the exchange rate effective at the balance sheet date and the profit and loss statements of these companies are converted at the average exchange rate of the financial period.
Differences arising from the translation of opening shareholders’ equity in accordance with the year-end exchange rate are recorded in consolidated equity under “currency translation reserve” and do not impact the profit or loss account.
3.2.15Statement of Cash Flows
The consolidated statement of cash flows has been prepared using the indirect method in which the net cash flow from operating activities is determined by adjusting profit or loss for the effects of changes in certain items in the consolidated balance sheet, non-cash items and items that relate to financing and investing cash flows.

Note 26 - Subsequent events
Since February 2022, a number of countries (including amongst others the US, UK and EU) imposed sanctions against certain entities and individuals in Russia as a result of the official recognition of the Donetsk People Republic and Lugansk People Republic by the Russian Federation.
The situation, together with growing turmoil from fluctuations in commodity prices and foreign exchange rates, and the impact to global economies, has driven a sharp increase in volatility across markets. The Liquidator of the Company regard these events for the Group as non-adjusting events after the reporting period.
Although neither the Group’s performance and going concern nor operations, at the date of the approval of these accounts, have been significantly impacted by the above, Management continues to monitor the evolving situation and its impact on the financial position and operations of the Group and has evaluated subsequent events until the date the accounts were available to be issued, and concluded no additional disclosures are required.

Notes to the consolidated interim accounts as at 30 June 2022
Note 3 - Summary of significant accounting policies
3.1 | Basis of preparation |
The consolidated interim accounts have been prepared in accordance with Luxembourg legal and regulatory requirements under the historical cost convention and going concern assumption, which assumes the realisation of assets and the discharge of liabilities in the normal course of business for the foreseeable future. As a departure from art. 29 (2) of the Law of 19 December 2002, figures for the preceding financial period in respect of profit and loss account are not presented in the interim financial information.
The decision to voluntarily put the Company into liquidation on 4 October 2022, as further described in note 25, has not impacted the basis of preparation of these consolidated interim accounts. The liquidation is only attributable to the Company, which at the liquidation date has transferred its sole subsidiary (the group B Medical), to another company, which continues to exist as of today.
Accounting policies and valuation rules are, besides the ones laid down by the Law of 19 December 2002, as amended, determined and applied by the Management.
The preparation of the consolidated interim accounts requires the use of certain critical accounting estimates. It also requires the Management to exercise its judgement in the process of applying the accounting policies. Changes in assumptions may have a significant impact on the consolidated interim accounts in the period in which the assumptions changed. Management believes that the underlying assumptions are appropriate and that the consolidated interim accounts therefore present the consolidated financial position and results fairly.
The Management makes estimates and assumptions that may affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities in the next financial year. Estimates and judgements are continually evaluated and are based on historical experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances.
3.2 | Significant accounting policies |
The main valuation rules applied by the Group are the following:
3.2.1Intangible assets
Intangible assets are valued at purchase price including the expenses incidental thereto or at production cost, less cumulated depreciation, amounts written off and value adjustments. Where the Group considers that an intangible asset has suffered from a durable depreciation in value, an additional write-down is recorded to reflect this loss. These value adjustments are not continued if the reasons for which the value adjustments were made have ceased to apply.
Costs of development
Costs of development are amortised on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives, which is 3 years.
Concessions, patents, licences, trademarks and similar rights and assets
All such items are amortised on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives, which is as follows:
Licences |
| 4 years |
|
Trademarks | | 10 years | |
Test products | | 3 years | |

Note 25 - Subsequent events
Since February 2022, a number of countries (including amongst others the US, UK and EU) imposed sanctions against certain entities and individuals in Russia as a result of the official recognition of the Donetsk People Republic and Lugansk People Republic by the Russian Federation.
The situation, together with growing turmoil from fluctuations in commodity prices and foreign exchange rates, and the impact to global economies, has driven a sharp increase in volatility across markets. The Liquidator of the Company regard these events for the Group as non-adjusting events after the reporting period.
Although neither the Group’s performance and going concern nor operations, at the date of the approval of these accounts, have been significantly impacted by the above, Management continues to monitor the evolving situation and its impact on the financial position and operations of the Group and has evaluated subsequent events until the date the accounts were available to be issued, and concluded no additional disclosures are required.
On 3 October 2022, Azenta, Inc. and its affiliates (“Azenta”) acquired B Medical Systems S.à r.l. and its subsidiaries (“B Medical”). Azenta is a leading provider of life sciences solutions worldwide. Azenta paid a total initial cash purchase price at closing of EUR 389 million, as adjusted for cash acquired and other items, as well as the payment of EUR 43 million of outstanding debt held at B Medical and its parent entities. B Medical is eligible to earn up to approximately EUR 50 million in contingent consideration based upon achievement of certain financial metrics.
Both the HSBC / BIL and SNCI loans were repaid in full in September 2022.
Following this transaction, it has been decided to voluntarily put the Company into liquidation during the Extraordinary Meeting of the Sole Shareholder of the Company held on 4 October 2022, as its sole investment has been transferred to Azenta. Asclepius Holding Ltd. has been appointed as Liquidator of the Company.

Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Financial Information
On August 9, 2022, Azenta Inc. and its affiliates ("Azenta”) entered into a definitive agreement to acquire substantially all the assets of B Medical Systems Holding S.A. (“Holding”), which assets constituted B Medical Systems S.a.r.l. and its subsidiaries (“B Medical”). B Medical is a market leader in temperature-controlled storage and transportation solutions that enables the delivery of life-saving treatments across the globe. The preliminary cash purchase price paid at closing was approximately $424,103 (or €432,934). Additional cash consideration, up to approximately $49,017 (or €50,000), may be paid upon achievement of certain future performance milestones. The transaction closed on October 3, 2022.
B Medical was a subsidiary of Holding prior to the acquisition. Holding’s consolidated results are inclusive of the operating activity of B Medical.
The unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet as of September 30, 2022 and the unaudited pro forma condensed combined income statement for the year ended September 30, 2022 are presented herein. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet combines the audited consolidated balance sheet of Azenta as of September 30, 2022 and the unaudited consolidated balance sheet of Holding as of June 30, 2022 and gives effect to the transaction as if it had been completed on September 30, 2022. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined income statement combines the audited historical results of Azenta for the year ended September 30, 2022 and the unaudited historical results of Holding for the twelve months ended June 30, 2022 and gives effect to the transaction as if it occurred on October 1, 2021. These unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet and unaudited pro forma condensed combined income statement are collectively referred to as the pro forma financial information.
The following pro forma financial information of Azenta and B Medical is presented to illustrate the estimated effects of the transaction, which are referred to as adjustments or transaction accounting adjustments.
The pro forma financial information should be read in conjunction with the accompanying notes. In addition, the pro forma financial information is derived from and should be read in conjunction with the following historical consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes of Azenta and B Medical:
| ● | Audited consolidated financial statements of Azenta as of and for the year ended September 30, 2022 included in Azenta’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended September 30, 2022; |
| ● | Audited consolidated financial statements of Holding as of and for the year ended December 31, 2021; and |
| ● | Unaudited consolidated financial statements of Holding as of and for six months ended June 30, 2022. |
Additionally, the adjustments columns in the pro forma financial information below include adjustments and eliminations made to Holding historical financial information to reflect certain intercompany activities which are solely related to Holding and not B Medical’s operations.
The pro forma financial information has been prepared by Azenta in accordance with Regulation S-X Article 11, Pro Forma Financial Information, which is referred to herein as Article 11. The pro forma financial information is based on various adjustments and assumptions and is not necessarily indicative of what Azenta’s consolidated statements of operations or consolidated balance sheet actually would have been had the transaction been completed as of the dates indicated or will be for any future periods.
The pro forma financial information does not reflect adjustments for any other consummated or probable acquisitions by either Azenta or B Medical since such transactions were not significant in accordance with Regulation S-X Rule 3-05.
The transaction was accounted for using the acquisition method of accounting, and Azenta is treated as the accounting acquirer. In identifying Azenta as the acquiring entity for accounting purposes, Azenta and B Medical took into account a number of factors as of filing the Current Report on Form 8-K/A to which this pro forma financial information is included as an Exhibit, including the relative voting rights of all equity instruments in the combined company, the composition of senior management of the combined company and corporate governance structure of the combined company. No single factor was the sole determinant in the overall conclusion that Azenta is the acquirer for accounting purposes; rather all factors were considered in arriving at such conclusion.
Azenta’s financial statements were prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“US GAAP”) while Holding’s financial statements were prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in Luxembourg (“Luxembourg GAAP”). The accounting policies used in the preparation of the pro forma financial information are those
1
set out in Azenta’s audited financial statements as of and for the year ended September 30, 2022. The conformation of Holding’s accounting policies along with Azenta’s accounting policies is described below in Note 3.
The transaction accounting adjustments are preliminary, based upon available information as of the date of filing the Current Report on Form 8-K/A to which this pro forma financial information is included as an Exhibit, and prepared solely for the purpose of this pro forma financial information. These adjustments are based on preliminary estimates and will be different from the adjustments that may be determined based on final acquisition accounting, and these differences could be material. The transaction accounting adjustments are based on the consideration paid for the transaction and the fair values of assets acquired and liabilities assumed. This assessment will not be completed until Azenta reports its results for the interim period ended December 31, 2022 and through the measurement period. The estimated fair values assigned in this pro forma financial information are preliminary and represent Azenta’s current best estimate of fair value and are subject to revision.
The pro forma financial information does not purport to project the future financial position or operating results of Azenta following the completion of the transaction. The pro forma financial information does not include adjustments to reflect any potential revenue, synergies or dis-synergies, or cost savings that may be achievable in connection with the transaction, or the associated costs that may be necessary to achieve such revenues, synergies or cost savings.

(in US dollars thousands except for exchange rate and per share information)
Note 1. Description of the Transaction
On August 9, 2022, Azenta entered into a definitive agreement to acquire B Medical from Holding. B Medical is a market leader in temperature-controlled storage and transportation solutions that enables the delivery of life-saving treatments across the globe. The preliminary cash purchase price paid at closing was approximately $424,103 (or €432,934). Additional cash consideration, up to approximately $49,017 (or €50,000), may be paid upon achievement of certain future performance milestones. The transaction closed on October 3, 2022.
Note 2. Basis of Pro Forma Presentation
The accompanying pro forma financial information was prepared in accordance with Article 11. The pro forma condensed combined balance sheet was prepared using the historical balance sheets of Azenta as of September 30, 2022, and Holding as of June 30, 2022. Separately, Holding's statutory activities have been removed from the consolidated balance sheet and statement of profit and loss to present B Medical's financial statements solely. Azenta's fiscal year ends on September 30 and Holding's fiscal year ends on December 31. To comply with rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission for companies with different fiscal year ends, the pro forma financial information has been prepared utilizing periods that differ by one quarter. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined income statement was prepared using:
| ● | the historical audited consolidated statement of operations of Azenta for the year ended September 30, 2022; |
| ● | the historical audited consolidated statement of profit and loss of Holding for the year ended December 31, 2021; and |
| ● | the historical unaudited consolidated statement of profit and loss of Holding for the six months ended June 30, 2022. |
The historical consolidated statement of profit and loss of Holding for twelve months ended June 30, 2022, was derived from the audited consolidated statement of profit and loss of Holding for the year ended December 31, 2021 by adding amounts from the unaudited consolidated statement of profit and loss for the six months ended June 30, 2022 and deducting amounts from the profit and loss activity for the six months ended June 30, 2021.
The pro forma financial information reflects transaction accounting adjustments that management believes are necessary to present fairly Azenta’s pro forma results of operations and financial position following the closing of the transaction as of and for the periods indicated. The transaction accounting adjustments are based on currently available information and assumptions management believes are, under the circumstances and given the information available at this time, reasonable, and reflective of adjustments necessary to report Azenta’s financial condition and results of operations as if the transaction was completed as of October 1, 2021 (as of September 30, 2022 for purposes of the unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet).
The pro forma financial information has accounted for the transaction using the acquisition method of accounting in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 805, “Business Combinations,” which is referred to as ASC 805, and is derived from the audited and unaudited historical financial statements of Azenta and Holding.
The acquisition method of accounting uses the fair value concepts defined in ASC 820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures,” which is referred to as ASC 820. Fair value is defined in ASC 820 as “the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date.” Fair value measurements can be highly subjective and can involve a high degree of estimation.
The determination of the fair value of the identifiable assets of B Medical and the allocation of the estimated consideration to these identifiable assets and liabilities is preliminary and is pending finalization of various estimates, inputs and analyses. This assessment is in process and will not be completed until Azenta reports its results for the interim period ended December 31, 2022.
The initial allocation of the preliminary estimated consideration in this pro forma financial information is based upon the estimated value of the consideration as of the transaction date on October 3, 2022.
6
Notes To Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Financial Information
(in US dollars thousands except for exchange rate and per share information)
At this preliminary stage, the estimated identifiable finite lived intangible assets include customer relationships, trademarks, and developed technologies. Goodwill represents the excess of the estimated purchase price over the estimated fair value of B Medical’s identifiable assets and liabilities, including the fair value of the estimated identifiable finite assets and liabilities described above. Goodwill will not be amortized but will be subject to periodic impairment testing. The goodwill balance shown in the pro forma financial information is preliminary and subject to change as a result of the same factors affecting both the estimated consideration and the estimated fair value of identifiable assets and liabilities acquired. The goodwill balance represents the combined company’s expectations of the strategic opportunities available to it as a result of the transaction, as well as other synergies that may be derived from the transaction.
Upon completion of the final valuation, the estimated fair value of the acquired assets and liabilities will be updated, including the estimated fair value and useful lives of the identifiable intangible assets and allocation of the excess purchase price, if any, to goodwill. The calculation of goodwill and other identifiable intangible assets could be materially impacted by changing fair value measurements caused by the volatility in the current market environment. Under ASC 805, transaction costs related to the transaction are expensed in the period they are incurred. Total transaction related costs incurred by Azenta and B Medical in connection with the transaction are estimated to be approximately $4,714. The transaction costs incurred by B Medical are reflected as a reduction of B Medical’s assets acquired by Azenta. The remaining amounts are reflected as an adjustment of transaction cost paid in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet as of September 30, 2022. The total amount not yet incurred is reflected as an expense in the unaudited condensed combined statement of income for the year ended September 30, 2022.
For purposes of preparing the pro forma financial information, the historical financial information of Holding and related pro forma adjustments was translated from Euros to US dollars using the following historical exchange rates:
Period of Exchange Rate |
| €/$ |
Closing exchange rate as of June 30, 2022 | | 1.0491 |
Average exchange rate for the twelve months ended June 30, 2022 | | 1.1268 |
These exchange rates may differ from future exchange rates which would have an impact on the pro forma financial information and would also impact purchase accounting.
Note 3. Significant Accounting Policies
Azenta's financial statements were prepared in accordance with US GAAP while Holding’s financial statements were prepared in accordance with Luxembourg GAAP. The accounting policies used in the preparation of the pro forma financial information are those set out in Azenta’s audited financial statements as of and for the year ended September 30, 2022.
Certain adjustments were made to conform the Luxembourg GAAP presentation to US GAAP presentation in alignment with Azenta’s presentation of US GAAP as specified in Note 5. Certain GAAP conversion adjustments are reflected in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet and income statement as specified in Note 6. These adjustments and reclassifications have no effect on previously reported total assets, total liabilities and shareholders’ equity, or net income or loss of Azenta or Holding. Accounting policy differences and additional reclassification adjustments may be identified as Azenta completes its acquisition accounting in accordance with ASC 805.
At the time of filing the Current Report on Form 8-K/A to which this pro forma financial information is included as an Exhibit, except GAAP and reclassification adjustments specified in Note 5 related to certain balances presented in the historical financial statements of Holding, Azenta is not aware of any material differences between the accounting policies of the two entities that would continue to exist subsequent to the application of acquisition accounting. Management is in the process of a comprehensive review of the accounting policies between the two entities.
As a result, Azenta may identify additional differences between the accounting policies of the two entities that, when conformed, could have a material impact on this pro forma financial information.
Note 4. Estimated Purchase Price
The cash purchase price paid at closing was approximately $424,103 (or €432,934). The purchase consideration is converted from Euros to US dollars by using the spot rate as of the date the following components of the consideration were (or will be) paid for by Azenta.
7
Notes To Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Financial Information
(in US dollars thousands except for exchange rate and per share information)
Total purchase consideration consists of (1) initial purchase consideration of approximately $381,380 (or €389,026) paid as per the transaction agreement (2) payment of approximately $42,242 (or €43,409) redemption of B Medical’s outstanding debt (3) $481 (or €500) of warranty and indemnity insurance premium paid on behalf of Seller and (4) a potential cash payment up to approximately $49,017 (€50,000) with a calculated fair value of $17,700, based upon achievement of certain future performance milestones.
The fair value of the contingent consideration referred to clause (4) above will be remeasured quarterly until settlement, impacting the value of the contingent consideration liability and earnings. As such, the total consideration transferred in connection with the transaction reflected in the pro forma financial information does not purport to represent the actual total consideration to ultimately be transferred in connection with the transaction.
The preliminary purchase price is allocated to the assets to be acquired and liabilities to be assumed based on the estimated fair values, with any excess purchase price allocated to goodwill as follows:
|
| Amounts (US dollars | |
Estimated total purchase price | | $ | 441,803 |

This preliminary purchase price allocation has been used to prepare pro forma adjustments in the pro forma financial information and is subject to adjustment as purchase accounting is finalized. The final purchase price allocation will be determined when Azenta has completed the detailed valuations and necessary calculations. The final allocation could differ materially from the preliminary allocation used in the pro forma adjustments. The final allocation may include, but not be limited to: (1) changes in fair values of property, plant and equipment, (2) changes in allocations to intangible assets, (3) changes to inventory and (4) other changes to assets and liabilities.

Note 6. GAAP Conversion Adjustments
The accompanying pro forma financial information reflect, what Azenta assumes would be the results and financial position on a US GAAP basis, of the combined financial statements of Holding prepared in accordance with Luxembourg GAAP. Azenta has performed a preliminary analysis and has identified differences between Luxembourg GAAP and US GAAP for the purposes of presenting the pro forma financial information. The pro forma financial information after considering the following GAAP and reclassifications adjustments conform Holding’s historical accounting presentation to Azenta’s accounting presentation and translation from Euros to US dollars based on Azenta’s accounting policies.
A. | To adjust for certain development costs capitalized by B Medical. These costs totalled $16,173 in intangible assets, net, and $169 in property plant and equipment, net. B Medical internally develops its new products and capitalized all development costs under Luxembourg GAAP. Accordingly, B Medical capitalized the material costs, patent costs, staff costs, consultant fees, testing fees and scrap expenses at the closing of a project. Under US GAAP, only research and development costs that are proven to have alternative future use can be capitalized. As none of the costs incurred by B Medical have alternative future use, all such capitalized costs are adjusted. The impact on the adjustment on the unaudited pro forma condensed combined income statement is calculated as the reversal of all amortization recorded by B Medical during the twelve months ended June 30, 2022 and the recording of all costs incurred during the period as expense. The resulting adjustments to increase cost of revenue – Products totalling $182, research and development totalling $3,355, and selling, reversal of selling, general and administrative expenses totalling $2,600 are reflected in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined income statement. |
B. | To adjust vehicle revenue and cost of sales related to the amounts collected from customers and paid to vehicle suppliers under certain arrangements. B Medical partners with a vehicle manufacturer to outfit vehicles with refrigeration units for storage of medical equipment. The vehicles installed with refrigeration units are made-to-order, and the vehicle by itself is not purchased by B Medical prior to the sale of the vehicle. B Medical recognized the revenue for the sale of both the vehicle and refrigeration unit, and expenses related to both the cost of the vehicle and the refrigeration unit. While B Medical does take control of the vehicle being sold momentarily before the sale, it does not encumber any risks associated with the sale. As vehicles are made-to-order in association with the vehicle manufacturer, B Medical does not control the good or service before it obtained a contract with the customer. It was determined that B Medical acts as an agent of the transaction in this scenario and under US GAAP the amount of the revenue and cost associated with the vehicle was reduced by $508 to properly record net revenue and cost in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined income statement. |
C. | To adjust for $2,381 of freight reimbursed by B Medical clients, which was recorded by B Medical as Revenue and Cost of revenue. B Medical invoices shipping costs as a separate line item to its customers and recognizes it as a contra-expense account. As transportation is a component of the contracts/invoices promise, Management elected to reclass freight reimbursement. Under US GAAP this treatment is an election and the adjustment aligns with the historical treatment of Azenta’s elections under US GAAP. |
D. | To reclassify government subsidies given to B Medical by certain government agencies across Europe from Equity to Deferred revenue. B Medical received subsidies in order for governments to finance certain building and development initiatives in specific jurisdictions. B Medical recorded the subsidies as an adjustment to equity under Luxembourg GAAP and recorded the developed assets which were subsidized as a component of property, plant and equipment. As the subsidized assets were depreciated, the depreciation expense was recorded as an adjustment to equity. Under US GAAP, Azenta’s management determined that such subsidies (as received) are recorded as deferred revenue, and amortization of the related asset is recorded as an offset to the established payment. Accordingly, the adjustment to the unaudited pro forma condensed combined income statement records the $5,093 remaining amount of the unamortized subsidies in Deferred revenue. |
E. | To reclassify advance payments to both suppliers and distributors from Inventory to Prepaid accounts amounting to $2,903. |
F. | Represents an adjustment to reflect the estimated impact of adoption of ASC 842 “Leases”, which is referred to as ASC 842, as of July 1, 2021 for B Medical’s leases that were assumed as a part of the acquisition accounted for as leases as per ASC 840 “Leases”. The pro forma adoption of ASC 842 resulted in the recognition of a right-of-use operating lease asset totalling $3,802. The ASC 842 adoption also resulted in the recognition of an adjustment of $497 to operating lease liabilities, current portion, and a $3,305 adjustment to the long-term right-of-use operating lease liability to reflect the assumption of operating |

lease liabilities on July 1, 2021. The impact of straight lining of the lease expenses on the unaudited pro forma condensed combined income statement is immaterial.
G. | To adjust deferred tax assets amounted to $5,895, and tax expense $5,895 for the tax effects of adjustments reflected herein to align B Medical’s historical accounting policies in accordance with US GAAP (calculated at an estimated effective tax rate of 27.5%). The effective tax rate of the combined company could be significantly different than what is presented in the pro forma financial information depending on post-acquisition activities and the geographical mix of taxable income. The net impact on the statement of profit and loss for the twelve months ended June 30, 2022 resulted in an increase in the tax benefit of $258. |
Note 7. B Medical Systems Holdings S.A. Elimination Adjustments
Management has considered the historical consolidated financial information of Holding and eliminated Holding’s activities to derive consolidated financial information of Holding reflected as of June 30, 2022 and for the twelve months ended June 30, 2022. Eliminations done in the historical consolidated balance sheet are related to Holding’s investments in its subsidiaries and amounts owed by and to affiliated undertakings as on June 30, 2022. Eliminations done in the historical consolidated statement of income are related to Holding’s activities for the twelve months ended June 30, 2022 that includes interests related to intercompany balances.
Note 8. Transaction Accounting Adjustments
The following were the transaction accounting adjustments reflected in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet and income statement:
A. | To adjust the estimated fair value of inventories acquired in the amount of $14,728. The preliminary fair value adjustment is based on the estimated selling price of the inventory considering a normalized profit margin. The preliminary fair value adjustment to inventory is amortized within one year and the full adjustment is reflected as an increase to Cost of Revenue – Product in the unaudited condensed combined consolidated income statement. |
B. | To reflect the estimated fair value of tangible assets acquired, excluding land and building, and the related depreciation expense for a one year period, as detailed in the table below: |

The estimated fair value of Trademark – B Medical was determined based on the discounted cash flow forecast utilizing the relief from royalty method. The royalty rate was determined to be 1.0% based on the overall profitability of B Medical and a study of comparable royalty arrangements. Cash flows were discounted at a rate of 12%. The estimated fair value is expected to be amortized over 5 years on a straight-line basis, which is consistent with the pattern in which the economic benefits of the trademark are expected to be realized.
The estimated fair value of the acquired Existing Technologies (Cold Chain and Medical) was determined based on a discounted cash flow model, which incorporates estimates associated with growth rates and technology obsolescence. The model also included present value discounts to cash flows at a rate of 11% and 12% for Existing Technologies – Cold Chain and Existing Technologies – Medical, respectively. The Existing Technologies (Cold Chain and Medical) will both be amortized over their expected useful lives of 10 years based on the pattern in which the economic benefits are expected to be realized for the Existing Technology - Cold Chain and based on a straight-line basis for the Existing Technology – Medical.
The estimated fair value of Backlog was determined based on the discounted cash flow forecast utilizing the relief from royalty method. The royalty rate was determined to be 1.0% based on the overall profitability of B Medical and a study of comparable royalty arrangements. Cash flows were discounted at a rate of 9.5%. The estimated fair value is expected to be amortized over 1 year on a straight-line basis, which is consistent with the pattern in which the economic benefits of the trademark are expected to be realized.
The estimated fair value of the acquired Existing Customer Relationships was determined based on a discounted cash flow model, which incorporates estimates associated with customer attrition rates and existing customer growth rates. The model also included present value discounts to cash flows at a rate of 11%. The Existing Customer Relationships will be amortized over their expected useful life of 16 years based on the pattern in which the economic benefits are expected to be realized.
The acquired Cold Chain Technology and Customer Relationships will be amortized based on the pattern in which the economic benefits of the intangible assets are expected to be realized. Based on the deemed acquisition date of September 30, 2022, the expected impact on operating results for the five years following the acquisition is as follows:
