COLFAX CORPORATION
UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED COMBINED FINANCIAL INFORMATION

The Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Balance Sheet assumes that the acquisition of Soldex S.A. ("Soldex") took place on September 28, 2012 (the "Soldex Acquisition") and combines the September 28, 2012 Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet of Colfax Corporation ("the Company" or "Colfax") with Soldex's September 30, 2012 consolidated balance sheet. The Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Statements of Operations for the year ended December 31, 2011 and the nine months ended September 28, 2012 assume that the Soldex Acquisition and the acquisition of Charter International plc ("Charter") by Colfax (the "Charter Acquisition") took place on January 1, 2011.

The Unaudited Pro Forma Financial Statements are based upon the historical financial statements of Colfax, Soldex and Charter, as well as publicly available information, and certain assumptions which Colfax believes to be reasonable, which are detailed in "Notes to Pro Forma Condensed Combined Financial Statements" below. These statements were prepared using the acquisition method of accounting under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("U.S. GAAP"), which are subject to change and interpretation. Colfax has been treated as the acquirer in the Charter Acquisition and the Soldex Acquisition for accounting purposes. Acquisition accounting is dependent upon certain valuations and other studies that have yet to be finalized, and accordingly, the adjustments to record the assets acquired and liabilities assumed at fair value reflect Colfax's best estimate and are subject to change once the detailed analyses are completed. These adjustments may be material.

The historical financial statements of Soldex and Charter have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board ("IFRS"). The Unaudited Pro Forma Financial Statements reflect certain adjustments to the financial statements of Soldex and Charter to align with Colfax's U.S. GAAP accounting policies. The adjustments reflect Colfax's best estimates based upon the information available and are subject to change once detailed information is obtained. On July 1, 2011, the predecessor to Soldex, now known as Futurea Consorcio Inmobiliaro S.A., spun-off its welding business Soldaduras Peruanas ("Peru") and transferred all related assets and liabilities to Soldex for periods prior to July 1, 2011. The Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Statement of Operations for the year ended December 31, 2011 include adjustments to address the results of operations of Peru for the period prior to transfer. Additionally, certain items have been reclassified from the historical financial statements of Soldex and Charter to align with Colfax's financial statement presentation.

In addition, the Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Financial Statements do not purport to project the future financial position or operating results of the combined company. Although Colfax is aware of transactions between Colfax subsidiaries and Charter subsidiaries during the year ended December 31, 2011, these transactions were not considered material or eliminated in the adjustments discussed in more detail below.

NOTES TO UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


1. Description of the Transactions

On October 31, 2012, Colfax completed the acquisition of approximately 91% of the outstanding common and investment shares of Soldex, a corporation that is organized under the laws of Peru that supplies welding products from its plants located in Peru and Colombia. Colfax's 91% interest consists of 187,310,251 Soldex common shares and 71,106,571 Soldex investment shares for total consideration of approximately $183.3 million.

On January 13, 2012, Colfax completed the Charter Acquisition for a total purchase price of approximately $2.6 billion. The Charter Acquisition was accounted for using the acquisition method of accounting and accordingly, the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements of Colfax include the financial position and results of operations from the date of acquisition.

2. Basis of Presentation

The Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Financial Statements have been compiled from underlying financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP and reflects the Soldex Acquisition and the Charter Acquisition prepared using the acquisition method of accounting under existing U.S. GAAP standards. The fair value of the assets and liabilities of Charter and Soldex reflect Colfax's best estimate and are subject to change once detailed analyses are completed. These adjustments may be material.

The process for estimating the fair values of identifiable intangible assets requires the use of significant estimates and assumptions, including estimating future cash flows and developing appropriate discount rates. The excess of the purchase price over the estimated fair value of identifiable assets and liabilities of Soldex as of the effective dates of the Soldex Acquisition will be allocated to Goodwill. Colfax defines fair value in accordance with U.S. GAAP 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. The preliminary purchase price allocation is subject to finalizing Colfax's analysis of the fair value of Soldex's assets and liabilities as of the effective date of the Soldex Acquisition and will be adjusted upon completion of the valuation. The use of different estimates could yield materially different results.

Colfax's Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as of September 28, 2012 reflected Colfax's best estimate of the aggregate fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed in the Charter Acquisition. These amounts were determined based upon certain valuations and studies that have yet to be finalized, and accordingly, the assets acquired and liabilities assumed, are subject to adjustment once the detailed analyses are completed. There is also a required change of control payment related to a defined benefit pension plan which is based on plan provisions which must be interpreted by an actuary. Such interpretation and the related financial statement impact have not yet been received.

The Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Financial Statements are not intended to reflect the financial position or results of operations which would have actually resulted had the acquisitions been effected on the dates indicated. Further, the results of operations are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations that may be obtained in the future.

3. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

The Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Financial Statements have been compiled consistent with Colfax's accounting policies. These accounting policies differ from those of Soldex and Charter. The adjustments made to align the financial statements of Charter and Soldex prepared in accordance with IFRS with Colfax's U.S. GAAP accounting policies are discussed in Note, 5 "Charter U.S. GAAP Adjustments" and Note 6, "Soldex Transaction Adjustments."

Balances have been translated from £ and S./ to $ using average exchange rates applicable during the periods presented for the Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Statements of Operations and the period end S./ exchange rate for the Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Balance Sheet.

4. Pro Forma Adjustments - Charter Transaction Adjustments

The following adjustments have been made to the Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Financial Statements related to the Charter Acquisition:

(a) In accordance with the acquisition method of accounting, the results of operations of Charter were included in Colfax's Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements beginning on the date of acquisition, January 13, 2012. The Unaudited

(c) In connection with the Charter Acquisition, Colfax and Charter incurred advisory, legal, audit, valuation and other professional fees, termination payments to Charter executives and realized losses on acquisition-related foreign exchange derivatives. The Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Statement of Operations for the nine months ended September 28, 2012 reflects the elimination of $43.6 million of transaction expenses incurred by Colfax and the year ended December 31, 2011 reflects the elimination of a total of $81.0 million, approximately $31.0 million and $55.0 million of which were incurred by Colfax and Charter, respectively.

(d) In conjunction with the financing of the Charter Acquisition, on January 13, 2012, Colfax terminated its previous credit agreement with Bank of America and incurred debt consisting of: (i) a $200 million term A-1 facility, (ii) a $500 million term A-2 facility, (iii) a €157.6 million term A-3 facility and (iv) a $900 million term B facility pursuant to a credit agreement (the "Deutsche Bank Credit Agreement") with Deutsche Bank Securities Inc., HSBC Securities (USA) Inc. and certain other lender parties named therein. In addition, the Deutsche Bank Credit Agreement has two revolving credit facilities which total $300 million in commitments. The Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Statement of Operations for the year ended December 31, 2011 includes $83.5 million of incremental interest expense associated with the Deutsche Bank Credit Agreement, including amortization of original issue discount and deferred financing fees and elimination of interest expense on existing debt.

(e) In connection with financing the Charter Acquisition, on January 24, 2012, the Company sold 13,877,552 shares of newly created Series A perpetual convertible preferred stock, referred to as the Series A Preferred Stock. Under the terms of the Series A Preferred Stock, holders are entitled to receive cumulative cash dividends, payable quarterly, at a per annum rate of 6% of the liquidation preference (defined as $24.50, subject to customary antidilution adjustments), provided that the dividend rate shall be increased to a per annum rate of 8% in the Company fails to pay the full amount of any dividend required to be paid on such shares until the date that full payment is made. The Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Statement of Operations for the year ended December 31, 2011 includes an adjustment to reflect the payment of $20.4 million of dividends on the Series A Preferred Stock.

(f) Upon completion of the Charter Acquisition, certain deferred tax assets existing at the date were reassessed in light of the impact of the acquired businesses on expected future income or loss by country and future tax planning, including the impact of the post-acquisition capital structure. This assessment resulted in an increase in the Company's valuation allowance to provide full valuation allowances against U.S. deferred tax assets. The increased valuation allowance resulted in an increase to the Provision for income taxes included in Colfax's Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations for the nine months ended September 28, 2012. The Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Statements of Operations for the nine months ended September 28, 2012 includes an adjustment to reverse this impact and it is included as an adjustment in the year ended December 31, 2011 assuming that the Charter Acquisition was effective on January 1, 2011.

5. Pro Forma Adjustments - Charter U.S. GAAP Adjustments

Certain adjustments and reclassifications have been made to the Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Statement of Operations for the year ended December 31, 2011 to align the Charter financial statements prepared in accordance with IFRS with Colfax's U.S. GAAP presentation and accounting policies.

(c) To reclassify $22.8 million and $29.6 million from Cost of sales and Selling, general and administrative expense, respectively, to Restructuring and other related charges, which is consistent with Colfax's policy.

NOTES TO UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS—Continued

(d) To reclassify $24.9 million of research and development expense from Cost of sales to Selling, general and administrative expense, which is consistent with Colfax's policy.

(e) To reclassify $55.0 million of Charter acquisition-related expense from Selling, general and administrative expense, which is consistent with Colfax's policy. See Note 4 (c) above for further discussion regarding these expenses.

(f) Under IFRS, costs associated with capitalization of intangible assets are classified into research phase costs, which are always expensed and development phase costs, which are capitalized provided they meet specific criteria. Under U.S. GAAP, research and development costs are expensed as incurred. Only under limited circumstances may development costs be capitalized, such as costs for the development of internal use software. The Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Statement of Operations for the year ended December 31, 2011 reflects adjustments to reverse $5.5 million of amortization recorded to Cost of sales under IFRS and to recognize $11.1 million of research and development costs in Selling, general and administrative expense.

(g) Upon initial transition to IFRS, Charter elected to record certain assets at their “fair value as deemed cost” at the date of transition as permitted by IFRS. Under U.S. GAAP, revaluation of fixed assets is not permitted. Accordingly, Selling general and administrative expense in the Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Statements of Operations for the year ended December 31, 2011 includes an adjustment to reverse $0.3 million of incremental depreciation expense recorded under IFRS.

(h) Under IFRS, actuarial gains and losses arising from experience adjustments and changes in actuarial assumptions were recognized by Charter in full in the period in which they occurred directly within equity, in the statement of comprehensive income. Under this IFRS policy option, amounts are not subsequently recognized in the income statement. U.S. GAAP requires that actuarial gains or losses are either recognized in full in the income statement or are deferred using the “corridor approach” (e.g., deferred in accumulated other comprehensive income (AOCI) on the balance sheet in order to reflect the funded status of defined benefit plans, and amortized as a component of net periodic benefits expense over the remaining life expectancy of the plan participants) or any systematic method that results in faster recognition than the corridor approach. The Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Statements of Operations for the year ended December 31, 2011 include the related incremental expense of $7.7 million.

(i) Under U.S. GAAP, an uncertain tax position is measured based on a cumulative probability model, whereby the largest amount of tax benefit/cost that is more likely than not of being realized upon ultimate settlement is the amount recorded. The cumulative probability approach is not permitted under IFRS and instead an expected value or single best estimate of the most likely outcome is used. The Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Statements of Operations for the year ended December 31, 2011 includes the related incremental provision for income taxes of $11.9 million to align the measurements of uncertain tax positions as required by U.S. GAAP.

(j) In determining the amount of provision for a liability that is uncertain in timing or amount of settlement, IFRS requires recognition of the best estimate of the amount that would be required to settle an obligation, and where a range of equally possible outcomes exists, the midpoint estimate is accrued. Under U.S. GAAP, when no amount within a range is a better estimate than any other amount, the low end of the range is accrued. In addition, it is Colfax's policy to not record anticipated future legal defense costs under U.S. GAAP. The Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Statement of Operations for the year ended December 31, 2011 includes the reversal of the release of provisions recognized in Selling, general and administrative expenses under IFRS of $10.9 million associated with the difference in related accruals of legal estimates and defense costs.

(k) Charter recorded warranty expense under IFRS, which exceeded the Colfax policy under U.S. GAAP. The Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Statement of Operations for the year ended December 31, 2011 includes an adjustment to Cost of sales to reverse $0.5 million of incremental warranty expense recorded under IFRS.

(l) The Unaudited Condensed Combined Statement of Operations for the year ended December 31, 2011 includes an adjustment to decrease Selling, general and administrative expense by $0.2 million related to U.S. GAAP treatment for stock-based compensation.

6. Soldex Transaction Adjustments

(a) U.S. GAAP Adjustments

Capitalized software of $0.6 million was reclassified in the Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Balance Sheet as of
September 28, 2012 from Intangible assets, net to Property, plant and equipment, net in order to align Soldex's financial
statements prepared in accordance with IFRS with Colfax's U.S. GAAP presentation.

The Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Balance Sheet as of September 28, 2012 includes an adjustment of $0.7 million to align the measurement of uncertain tax positions at Soldex with U.S. GAAP. See 5(i) above for further discussion regarding the differences between IFRS and U.S. GAAP with respect to uncertain tax positions.

__________
(1) Upon completion of the Soldex Acquisition, Colfax has a controlling financial interest in Soldex and its Consolidated Financial Statements will include the assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses of Soldex and the noncontrolling parties' ownership share is presented as a noncontrolling interest. Accordingly, Goodwill is calculated based upon the total fair value of 100% of the net assets of Soldex.

Except as discussed below, the carrying value of Soldex's assets and liabilities are considered to approximate their fair value.

(i) Tangible assets acquired reflect a $2.8 million adjustment to record inventory at fair value, referred to as the inventory step-up. An adjustment of $0.9 million was also made to deferred tax liabilities (included in Accrued liabilities) related to this adjustment. Additionally, an estimate of $2.5 million is reflected in the Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Balance Sheet as of September 28, 2012 to reduce the value of inventory determined to be obsolete. An adjustment of $0.7 million was also made to deferred tax assets (included in Other current assets) related to this adjustment. The $2.8 million inventory step up was estimated to be amortized through Cost of goods sold within the first year following the Soldex Acquisition based upon inventory turnover calculated from public information.

(ii) The fair value of identifiable intangible assets was estimated using significant assumptions such as the amount and timing of projected cash flows and the assessment of the asset's life cycle, including competitive trends and other factors. The assumptions used by Colfax to arrive at the estimated fair value of the identifiable intangible assets were primarily derived from publicly available information, including market transactions of varying degrees of complexity.

(iii) Deferred tax liabilities of $20.9 million (included in Other liabilities) were recorded related to amortizable intangible assets, detailed above. Additionally, $4.9 million of deferred tax liabilities were eliminated related to identifiable intangible assets recognized by Soldex in conjunction with historical acquisitions. Deferred tax assets, deferred tax liabilities and the tax impact of the adjustments to the Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Statements of Operations were calculated using an approximate 32% effective tax rate, which is Colfax's estimate of Soldex's effective tax rate.

(iv) On July 1, 2011, the predecessor to Soldex, now known as Futurea Consorcio Inmobiliaro S.A., spun-off its Peru welding business and transferred all related assets and liabilities to Soldex. Under IFRS, the financial results of Peru were not included in the consolidated statement of operations for Soldex for periods prior to July 1, 2011. To include the results of operations for Peru for the period prior to transfer, the Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Statement of Operations for the year ended December 31, 2011 include the following adjustments, representing Peru's results of operations for the six months ended July 1, 2011 (in thousands of U.S. dollars):

(1) Net income (loss) per share was calculated consistent with the two-class method in accordance with U.S. GAAP as the shares of the Company's Series A Preferred Stock are considered participating securities.

(2) For the nine months ended September 28, 2012, this amount represents the impact of the shares of Colfax Common stock issued to Charter shareholders and the aggregate shares of Colfax Common stock sold to BDT Capital Partners Fund I-A, L.P., Mitchell P. Rales, Steven M. Rales and Markel Corporation pursuant to various securities purchase agreements. For the year ended December, 31, 2011, this amount represents the total of these shares issued as they were issued subsequent to December 31, 2011.

The weighted-average computation of the dilutive effect of potentially issuable shares of Colfax Common stock under the
treasury stock method for the nine months ended September 28, 2012 and the year ended December 31, 2011 excludes
approximately 1.4 million and 1.8 million outstanding stock-based compensation awards, respectively, as their inclusion would
be anti-dilutive.

(d) Noncontrolling Interest

The fair value of the noncontrolling interest, representing the 9% of common and investment shares of Soldex outstanding
following the Soldex Acquisition, was calculated as follows (in thousands of U.S. dollars, except share amounts):
