See accompanying notes. 3 ADESA CORPORATION Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements - (Unaudited) 1. Basis of Presentation --------------------- The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. In the opinion of ADESA, all adjustments (consisting of only normal recurring accruals) considered necessary to present fairly the consolidated financial statements have been included. Quarterly results of operations are not necessarily indicative of annual results. These statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto included in ADESA's annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1994. 2. Business Segments ----------------- Selected second quarter 1995 income data by business segment is as follows: Auction Services Financial Services Total ---------------- ------------------ ----------- Operating revenues $28,634,538 $1,892,943 $30,527,481 =========== ========== =========== Operating income $ 4,060,237 $1,162,277 $ 5,222,514 =========== ========== =========== Total assets presented by business segment and inclusive of ADESA's headquarters as of June 30, 1995, were as follows: Auction services $171,985,232 Financial services 27,152,411 Corporate headquarters 12,853,785 ------------ $211,991,428 ============ 3. Per-Share Data -------------- Earnings per share data are based on the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the applicable periods, including the effect of dilutive stock options. 4. Subsequent Event ---------------- ADESA currently has three United States auctions which sell rental repurchase units under separate master contracts with General Motors (GM). These contracts do not require GM to sell any minimum number of vehicles through ADESA's auctions and may be terminated upon 30 days' notice. In 1995 GM requested that auctions bid for the right to sell rental repurchase units under three-year contracts commencing January 1, 1996. ADESA was invited in February 1995 to take part in this process and on May 10, 1995, submitted a bid for all of ADESA's United States auctions including a greenfield auction in Manville, New Jersey. On August 24, 1995, GM awarded contracts to seven of ADESA's auctions. 4 (b) Pro forma financial information Pro Forma Condensed Financial Information (Unaudited) On July 1, 1995, Minnesota Power & Light Company (Minnesota Power or the Company) acquired 80 percent of ADESA for $167 million in cash. The Company accounted for the acquisition as a purchase and recorded approximately $140 million of goodwill, which will be amortized over a 40 year period. Proceeds from the sale of the paper and pulp business combined with proceeds from the sale of securities investments were used to fund the purchase of ADESA. The following unaudited pro forma balance sheet as of June 30, 1995, combines the historical consolidated balance sheet of Minnesota Power and ADESA to reflect the July 1, 1995, acquisition as if it had occurred on June 30, 1995. The unaudited pro forma combined statement of income for the six months ended June 30, 1995, and for the year ended December 31, 1994, are based on the historical consolidated statements of income of Minnesota Power and ADESA and reflect the acquisition as if it had occurred on January 1 of the respective periods. On June 30, 1995, Minnesota Power sold its investment in the paper and pulp business for $118 million in cash and realized a $1.5 million after-tax loss from the sale. Minnesota Power's financial statements as of June 30, 1995, reflect this transaction as discontinued operations. The historical consolidated statement of income of Minnesota Power for the year ended December 31, 1994, has been restated to classify the operating results of the paper and pulp business as discontinued operations. The unaudited pro forma combined statement of income for the six months ended June 30, 1995, and for the year ended December 31, 1994, reflect exiting Reach All Partnership (Reach All), the truck-mounted lifting equipment manufacturing business immediately prior to January 1 of the respective periods. The following pro forma financial information has been prepared from, and should be read in conjunction with, the historical consolidated financial statements and related notes thereto of Minnesota Power and ADESA. The following information is not necessarily indicative of the financial position or operating results that would have occurred had the acquisition and disposition transactions been consummated on the date, or at the beginning of the periods, for which the acquisition and disposition are being given effect nor is it necessarily indicative of future operating results or financial position. 5 Minnesota Power Unaudited Pro Forma Combined Balance Sheet June 30, 1995 In Thousands
