Exhibit 99.2
UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED COMBINED FINANCIAL INFORMATION
     On June 9, 2010, Archipelago Learning, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), and Archipelago Learning Holdings UK Limited, a United Kingdom private limited company (“Archipelago UK”), a newly formed wholly owned indirect subsidiary of the Company, acquired Educationcity Limited, a United Kingdom private limited company (“EducationCity”) pursuant to a Share Purchase Agreement (the “Acquisition Agreement”) with Matthew Drakard, Simon Booley and Tom Morgan (collectively, the “Sellers”). Pursuant to the Acquisition Agreement, Archipelago UK purchased 100% of the equity of EducationCity for a purchase price of: (i) $65,116,274 in cash; (ii) 1,242,408 shares of common stock, par value $0.001 (the “common stock”) of the Company; and (iii) $5.0 million in additional deferred cash consideration, of which $2.5 million will be paid by the Company on each of December 31, 2010 and December 31, 2011 (the “Acquisition”). The Acquisition was financed with cash on hand and the proceeds of a new $15.0 million supplemental term loan and $10.0 million revolving loan commitments.
     The following unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information reflects the Acquisition accounted for as a business combination. The accounting for the Acquisition is incomplete, as the Company is currently evaluating the fair values of each asset and liability acquired and has not yet received the final valuation report on such assets and liabilities. Provisional amounts for assets and liabilities acquired have been presented based on management’s best estimate of the values based on preliminary analysis performed. Management expects that there may be differences between these preliminary estimates (such as the estimates of the value of the acquired intangible assets and deferred revenues) and the final business combination accounting and that these differences could have a material impact on the accompanying unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information and the combined company’s future results of operations and financial position.
     The unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet as of March 31, 2010 is presented as if the Acquisition occurred on March 31, 2010.
     The unaudited pro forma condensed combined statements of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2010 and the year ended December 31, 2009 are presented as if the Acquisition occurred on January 1, 2009. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information combines the historical financial statements of the Company and EducationCity for the periods presented, as well as adjustments to give effect to pro forma events that are: (i) directly attributable to the acquisition; (ii) factually supportable; and (iii) with respect to the statements of operations, expected to have a continuing impact on the combined results of the combined company. This unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information is prepared by management for informational purposes only in accordance with Article 11 of Securities and Exchange Commission Regulation S-X and is not necessarily indicative of future results or of actual results that would have been achieved had the Acquisition been consummated as of the dates presented, and should not be taken as representative of future consolidated operating results of the Company. The unaudited pro forma combined financial information does not reflect any differences in the cost structure or any incremental revenue from selling Study Island and EducationCity products to the other entity’s customer list that the Company may experience, as a result of the integration process and management operational decisions, with respect to the combined company as such adjustments are not factually supportable at this point in time or directly attributable to the acquisition. Descriptions of the adjustments used to prepare the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information are contained in the notes to the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information, and such information should be reviewed in its entirety.
     The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information has been developed from and should be read in conjunction with: (i) EducationCity’s historical audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2009 and notes thereto included in Exhibit 99.1 of the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K/A filed on August 20, 2010; (ii) EducationCity’s historical unaudited consolidated financial statements as of and for the three months ended March 31, 2010 and notes thereto included in Exhibit 99.1 of the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K/A filed on August 20, 2010; (iii) the Company’s historical audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2009 and notes thereto, contained in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K,

 


 

filed on March 5, 2010; and (iv) the Company’s historical unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements as of and for the three months ended March 31, 2010, contained in the Company’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, filed on May 12, 2010. EducationCity’s historical financial statements referred to above were presented in British Pounds and have been converted to U.S. Dollars for this unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information using the current (spot) currency exchange rate of 1.51 for the balance sheet as of March 31, 2010 and using the average currency exchange rates of 1.56 for the statements of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2010 and the year ended December 31, 2009.

ARCHIPELAGO LEARNING, INC.
NOTES TO UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED COMBINED FINANCIAL INFORMATION
1. BACKGROUND AND BASIS OF PRO FORMA PRESENTATION
     On June 9, 2010, we completed our acquisition of EducationCity. EducationCity publishes EducationCity.com, an online K-12 educational content and assessment program for schools in the United Kingdom and United States. Similar to our product Study Island, EducationCity maps to standards, combines rigorous content and interactive animations, fun games, and motivational rewards to drive academic success in a fun and engaging manner. Unlike Study Island, EducationCity core classroom and individual instruction is geared toward the initial teaching phases of academic content. EducationCity helps students learn basic skills and concepts while Study Island helps assess, reinforce and master this knowledge. When used in conjunction with one another, EducationCity and Study Island provide a powerful comprehensive teaching and reinforcement solution to enhance student learning and teacher performance. These factors, among others, contributed to a purchase price in excess of the estimated fair value of EducationCity’s net identifiable assets acquired and, as a result, we have recorded goodwill in connection with this transaction.
     The Acquisition was accounted for using management’s preliminary estimates utilizing fair value concepts, based on the exit price of assets and liabilities, representing the amounts that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants and uses the assumptions that market participants would use to price an asset or liability based on the best information available.
     Acquisition costs of $3.3 million, consisting primarily of professional fees and foreign stamp tax, were incurred subsequent to March 31, 2010 and were recorded as expense in our consolidated statement of operations at that time. The acquisition costs paid are not reflected in the pro forma condensed combined statements of operations, as they are nonrecurring, but such costs are accounted for on the pro forma condensed combined balance sheet as an adjustment to retained earnings and accrued expenses.
2. PURCHASE PRICE ALLOCATION
     The following table summarizes the preliminary allocation of the purchase price to the estimated fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed on the closing date of June 9, 2010, as if the Acquisition had occurred on March 31, 2010 (in thousands):
         
Purchase price:
       
Cash paid to sellers, net of cash received
  $ 57,547  
Note payable
    4,687  
Issuance of common stock
    17,393  
 
     
Total
  $ 79,627  
 
     
Assets (liabilities) acquired:
       
Accounts receivable
  $ 5,122  
Deferred tax assets
    3,286  
Other assets
    880  
Intangible assets
    26,817  
Accounts payable and accrued expenses
    (4,212 )
Deferred tax liabilities
    (8,799 )
Deferred revenue
    (9,594 )
 
     
Total
  $ 13,500  
 
     
Remaining value, recorded to goodwill
  $ 66,127  
 
     
     The estimated goodwill reflected on this pro forma balance sheet is calculated as if the transaction had occurred as of the pro forma balance sheet date and therefore, will be different from the preliminary estimated goodwill recorded upon the acquisition date. The goodwill recorded in connection with this transaction is not deductible for income tax purposes.

 


 

     The identifiable intangible assets, which are amortized on a straight-line basis over their respective lives, with a fair value of $26.8 million consist of the following (dollars in thousands):
                 
    Amortization     Acquired  
    Period     Fair  
    (Years)     Value  
Finite-lived intangible assets:
               
Customer relationships
    9-11     $ 15,483  
Technical development/program content
    15       7,239  
Noncompete agreements
    5       1,022  
Indefinite-lived intangible assets:
               
EducationCity trade name
    n/a       3,073  
 
             
Total intangible assets
          $ 26,817
