Bruker AXS Inc.

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

1. Description of Business and Basis of Presentation

        Bruker AXS Inc. (the "Company") designs, manufactures, distributes and services systems and provides complete solutions in X-ray instrumentation used in non-destructive molecular and elemental analysis in academic, research and industrial applications.

        The financial statements represent the consolidated accounts of Bruker AXS Inc. and its wholly- and majority-owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated.

        The condensed consolidated financial statements as of March 31, 2003 and for the three months ended March 31, 2003 and 2002 have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for interim financial information and with Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the three months ended March 31, 2003 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2003. The balance sheet data as of December 31, 2002 has been derived from the audited financial statements, but does not include all disclosures required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

        Although management believes that the disclosures are adequate to make the information presented not misleading, these condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2002, as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

        The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

        The Company has a stock-based employee compensation plan. The Company accounts for the plan under the recognition and measurement principles of Accounting Principles Board Opinion ("APB") No. 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees," and related interpretations. No stock-based compensation cost has been recognized for options granted to employees, as all options granted under the plan had an exercise price equal to the market value of the underlying common stock on the date of grant. The following table illustrates the effect on net loss (in thousands) and earnings (loss) per

6


share if the Company had applied the fair value recognition provision under Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation."

Basic and diluted, pro forma   $ (0.02 ) $ (0.01 )
   
 
 

        The Company provides a one year parts and labor warranty with the purchase of equipment. The anticipated cost for this one year warranty is accrued upon recognition of the sale and is included as a current liability. The Company also offers its customers an extended warranty and service agreement extending beyond the initial year of warranty for a fee. These fees are recorded as deferred revenue and amortized into income over the life of the extended warranty agreement.

        Changes in the warranty and deferred revenue accruals for the three months ended March 31, 2003 and 2002 are as follows (in thousands):

 
  2003
  2002
 
Warranty and deferred revenue accruals at December 31   $ 7,848   $ 5,378  
Accruals for warranties issued during the period     659     1,069

Warranty and deferred revenue accruals at March 31   $ 6,166   $ 5,036  
   
 
 

        In June 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued SFAS No. 143, "Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations." SFAS No. 143 requires entities to record the fair value of a liability for an asset retirement obligation in the period in which it is incurred. When the liability is initially recorded, the entity capitalizes a cost by increasing the carrying amount of the related

7


long-lived asset. Over time, the liability is accreted to its present value each period, and the capitalized cost is depreciated over the useful life of the related asset. Upon settlement of the liability, an entity either settles the obligation for its recorded amount or incurs a gain or loss upon settlement. The standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2002. The Company adopted this statement on January 1, 2003. SFAS No. 143 did not have a material effect on the results of operations or financial position of the Company.

        In June 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No. 146, "Accounting for the Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities." SFAS No. 146 requires companies to recognize costs associated with exit or disposal activities when they are incurred rather than at the date of a commitment to an exit plan or disposal plan. This statement replaces Emerging Issues Task Force Issue No. 94-3, "Liability Recognition for Certain Employee Termination Benefits and Other Costs to Exit an Activity (including Certain Costs Incurred in a Restructuring)." The provisions of this statement are to be applied prospectively to exit or disposal activities initiated after December 31, 2002, with early application encouraged. The Company elected not to early adopt SFAS No. 146. The adoption of this statement did not have a material effect on the results of operations or financial position.

        In December 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No. 148, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation—Transition and Disclosure," which amends SFAS No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation." SFAS No. 148 provides alternative methods of transition for a voluntary change in the fair value based method of accounting for stock-based employee compensation. In addition, SFAS No. 148 amends the disclosure requirement of SFAS No. 123 to require more prominent and more frequent disclosures in financial statements about the effects of stock-based compensation. The transition guidance and annual disclosure provisions of this statement are effective for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2002, with earlier application permitted in certain circumstances. The interim disclosure provisions are effective for financial reports containing financial statement for interim periods beginning after December 15, 2002. The Company adopted the annual disclosure provision of SFAS No. 148 in 2002 and the interim disclosure provision of SFAS No. 148 in 2003. The Company will continue apply the disclosure only provisions of both SFAS No. 123 and SFAS No. 148.

3. Income Taxes

        The income tax provision is determined by applying an estimated annual effective income tax rate to income before income taxes. The estimated annual effective income tax rate is based on the most recent annualized forecast of pretax income, permanent book/tax differences and tax credits. For the three months ended March 31, 2003, the Company's effective tax rate was 96.8% due to merger related costs which are not expected to be tax deductible.

5. Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets

        The changes in the carrying amount of goodwill for the year ended December 31, 2002 and the three months ended March 31, 2003 are as follows (in thousands):

6. Debt

        As of March 31, 2003, the Company was in violation of a certain debt covenant related to the letter of credit for the $2,200,000 industrial revenue bond. The financial institution has waived the remedies available to it in connection with such violation.

8. Earnings (Loss) Per Share

        Basic earnings (loss) per share is computed by dividing net (loss) income by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted earnings (loss) per share is computed by dividing net (loss) income by the weighted average number of common shares and, if applicable, common stock equivalents which would arise from the exercise of stock options. The following table reconciles the numerators and denominators used to calculate basic and diluted earnings (loss) per share (in thousands, except share data):

 
  Three Months Ended
March 31,

 
 
  2003
  2002
 
Net (loss) income:          
  Net (loss) income before cumulative effect of change in accounting principle   $(779 ) $  310  
  Cumulative effect of change in accounting principle, net of taxes     617  
   
 
 
  Net loss   $(779 ) $(307 )
   
 
 
Weighted average shares outstanding:          
  Weighted average shares outstanding-basic   55,722,638   56,030,338  
  Effect of dilutive securities:          
    Stock options     443,502  
   
 
 
  Weighted average shares outstanding-diluted   55,722,638   56,473,840  
   
 
 

        For the three months ended March 31, 2003, 1,198,950 common shares issuable upon the exercise of stock options were anti-dilutive and were excluded from the calculation of diluted earnings (loss) per share.

9. Comprehensive Income (Loss)

        Comprehensive income (loss) for the three months ended March 31, 2003 and 2002 was as follows (in thousands):

 
  Three Months Ended
March 31,

 
 
  2003
  2002
 
Net loss   $ (779 ) $ (307 )
Other comprehensive (loss) income:              
  Changes in fair market value of financial instrument designated as a hedge of interest rate exposure, net of taxes     4     7  
  Foreign currency translation adjustments     746     (71 )
   
 
 
Total comprehensive loss   $ (29 ) $ (371 )
   
 
 

10. Restructuring Charge

        In the third quarter of 2002, the Company implemented a restructuring program to reduce costs and improve productivity by eliminating redundant positions, streamlining production and initiating cost

10



reduction programs in all operating areas. As a result, the Company recorded a restructuring charge of approximately $1,767,256 ($1,042,681, net of tax) in the third quarter of 2002.

        The following table summarizes the restructuring charge activity and the balance of the restructuring accrual as of March 31, 2003 (in thousands):

 
  Workforce
Reduction

  Production
Operations

  Contractual
Obligations

  Engineering

  Total
 
Initial charge in third quarter 2002   $ 458   $ 699   $ 465   $ 145   $ 1,767  
Cash payments     (84 )       (172 )       (256 )
Non-cash charges         (699 )       (145 )   (844 )
Currency impact     16         20         36  
   
 
 
 
 
 
Balance of accrual as of December 31, 2002     390         313         703  
Cash payments     (53 )       (64 )       (117 )
Currency impact     11         12         23  
   
 
 
 
 
 
    $ 348   $   $ 261   $   $ 609  
   
 
 
 
 
 

        Due to the impact of certain German regulatory requirements applicable to the benefits of our German employees, the workforce reduction accrual will not be fully paid until 2008.

11. Acquisition

        On May 13, 2002, the Company acquired substantially all of the assets and certain liabilities of MAC Science Ltd., a Yokohama, Japan-based company focused on X-ray analysis instrumentation. The results of the MAC Science operation have been included in the accompanying consolidated financial statements since the date of acquisition.

        The following unaudited pro forma income statement information (in thousands, except per share data) assumes that the acquisition had taken place as of the
