Report of Independent Registered
Public Accounting Firm

 

To the Partners of
ValueAct Holdings, L.P.

 

In our opinion, the accompanying consolidated balance sheet and the related consolidated statements of operations, of changes in partners’ capital and of cash flows present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of ValueAct Holdings, L.P. and its subsidiaries (collectively, the “Partnership”) at December 31, 2008, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for the year then ended in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.  These financial statements are the responsibility of the Partnership’s management.  Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit.  We conducted our audit of these statements in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States).  Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement.  An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.  We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

Year Ended December 31, 2008 and period from November 8, 2007

(“Inception”) to December 31, 2007 (unaudited)

 

1.                            Organization

 

ValueAct Holdings, L.P. (the “Partnership”) was organized as a Delaware limited partnership on October 30, 2007.  The Partnership commenced operations on November 8, 2007 and will continue until dissolved under the provisions of the Partnership’s Limited Partnership Agreement (the “Partnership Agreement”).  The principal purpose of the Partnership is to provide investment management services directly and/or through controlled affiliates to existing and future ValueAct funds and their clients.

 

The general partner of the Partnership is ValueAct Holdings GP, LLC (the “General Partner”).  The General Partner has the full, exclusive and complete discretion to manage and control the business and affairs of the Partnership.

 

2.                            Significant Accounting Policies

 

Basis of Accounting

 

The accompanying financial statements are prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”).  The preparation of financial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts and disclosures reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes.  Such estimates and assumptions could change in the future as more information becomes known, which could impact the amounts reported and disclosed herein.

The Partnership consolidates the Controlled Affiliates pursuant to Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF) 04-05, Determining Whether a General Partner, or the General Partners as a Group, Controls a Limited Partnership or Similar Entity When the Limited Partners have Certain Rights.  Pursuant to EITF 04-05, a presumption exists that a general partner in a limited partnership controls the limited partnership and, therefore, should include the limited partnership in its consolidated financial statements unless the presumption is overcome through the

substantive ability by the limited partners to remove the general partner or otherwise dissolve the limited partnership or there exists substantive participating rights by the limited partners.

 

All significant intercompany balances and transactions between the Partnership, the Controlled Affiliates and ValueAct Funds have been eliminated in consolidation.

 

Cash and Cash Equivalents

 

Cash and cash equivalents include both investments with an original maturity of three months or less as well as amounts due from brokers.  Amounts due from brokers represent cash on deposit with financial institutions pending reinvestment and balances due from brokers for unsettled trades.

 

Concentration of Credit Risk

 

The Partnership and subsidiaries invest their cash primarily in deposits and money market funds with commercial banks and financial institutions.  At times, cash balances at a limited number of banks and financial institutions may exceed federally insured amounts.

 

Investment Valuation

 

Marketable securities are valued at their last sales price on the valuation date or, if no sales occurred on such date, at the closing “bid” price if owned and the closing “asked” price if sold short.  Other marketable securities traded in the over-the-counter market are valued at the closing bid price.  Unrealized gains and losses are reflected in the statements of operations.

 

Substantially all securities transactions are cleared through, and held in custody by, a member firm of the New York Stock Exchange, Inc.  Security transactions are recorded on the trade date basis.  Interest is recorded on the accrual basis and dividends are recorded on the ex-dividend date.

 

Restricted securities are securities subject to SEC Rule 144 or other holding period restrictions, and cannot be sold without prior registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or pursuant to an exemption therefrom, and securities requiring termination of agreement with a third party before they are freely tradable in the public market.  These securities are valued as if they were marketable securities with liquidity discounts determined by the Partnership.

 

Nonmarketable securities are carried at fair value as determined by the General Partner in accordance with the Partnership Agreement and Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“FAS”), No. 157, Fair Value Measurements (“FAS 157”).

 

The carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents and short-term receivables and payables approximate their estimated fair values because of the short maturity of those instruments.

 

The books and records of the Partnership and the Controlled Affiliates are maintained in U.S. dollars.  Assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated at the rates of exchange prevailing at the date of the financial statements.  Transactions in foreign currencies are translated at the rates of exchange prevailing at the time of the transaction.

 

The Partnership and the Controlled Affiliates do not isolate gains and losses on investments attributable to changes in foreign exchange rates from gains and losses from changes in market prices of the investments.  Such fluctuations are included with the net realized and unrealized gains and losses from investments.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

Year Ended December 31, 2008 and period from November 8, 2007

(“Inception”) to December 31, 2007 (unaudited)

 

Fixed Assets

 

Furniture, equipment, leasehold improvements, and other fixed assets are carried at cost less accumulated depreciation and amortization.  Furniture is depreciated on the double declining balance method over a useful life of seven years.  Equipment and other fixed assets are depreciated on the double declining balance method over a useful life of five years.  Leasehold improvements are depreciated on the straight-line method over the lesser of the lease term or a useful life of fifteen years.

 

Income Recognition

 

Management fee income is recognized in the period in which the service is rendered.  Performance fee income is recognized in the period in which it is earned, in accordance with the respective partnership agreements.

 

Withdrawals Payable

 

Withdrawals from Controlled Affiliates are recognized as liabilities, net of performance allocation, when the amount requested in the withdrawal notice becomes fixed.  This generally may occur either at the time of the receipt of notice, or on the last day of a fiscal period, depending on the nature of the request.  As a result, withdrawals paid after the end of the year, but based upon year-end capital balances are reflected as withdrawals payable at December 31.  Withdrawal notices received for which the dollar amount is not fixed remain in capital until the amount is determined.  Withdrawals payable include $0 and $23,702,914 payable to partners and $578,857,628 and $278,761,755 to minority interests as of December 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively.

 

Deferred Performance and Management Fees

 

Fees deferred in prior periods by the VA Partners I, LLC’s predecessor entity remain in the Partnership’s account at the respective Controlled Affiliate.  The deferred amount is reflected on the Partnership’s books as a liability.  Any future appreciation will be charged to the Partnership as reduction of income, and any future depreciation will be treated as a reduction of expense that would otherwise be allocated to the partners.

 

Financial Instruments and Credit Risk

 

In the normal course of business, the ValueAct Funds purchase and sell various financial instruments.  These financial instruments include investments in securities, securities sold, not yet purchased and equity options.  As a result, the Partnership is exposed to market and credit risks.

 

Market risk represents the potential loss that can be caused by a change in the market value of a financial instrument.  The Partnership’s exposure to market risk is determined by a number of factors, including the size, composition, diversification of positions held, interest rates and market volatility.  The General Partner monitors the ValueAct Funds’ exposure to market risk by reviewing trading strategies, setting market risk limits and maintaining otherwise uncorrelated and diverse positions.

Credit risk represents the maximum potential loss that the ValueAct Funds would incur if the counterparties failed to perform pursuant to the terms of their agreements with the ValueAct Funds.  The ValueAct Funds regularly transact business with U.S. financial institutions and manage credit risk by limiting the total amount of arrangements outstanding, both by individual counterparty and in the aggregate, by monitoring the size and maturity structure of its portfolio and by applying uniform credit standards for all activities associated with credit risk.

 

All listed securities are cleared through, and held in custody by BNP Paribas, Inc.  The Partnership is subject to credit risk to the extent that the broker may be unable to fulfill its obligations either to return the ValueAct Funds’ securities or repay amounts owed.  In the normal course of their investment activities, the ValueAct Funds may be required to pledge investments as collateral, whereby the prime broker has the right, under the terms of its prime brokerage agreement, to sell or repledge the securities if the ValueAct Funds is unable to meet its margin requirements.

 

Due to the nature of the ValueAct Funds’ strategies, each portfolio may consist of certain illiquid or thinly traded investments, which may have a greater amount of both market and credit risk than many other fixed income or equity securities.  Such investments are not actively traded on a recognized security exchange.  Please refer to Note 15 for further disclosure of these items.

 

The ValueAct Funds invest in corporate promissory notes.  Until the notes are converted, sold, or mature, the Partnership is exposed to credit risk relating to whether the note issuers will meet their obligation when it comes due.

 

Income Taxes

 

As a partnership, the Partnership itself is not subject to U.S. Federal income taxes.  Each partner is individually liable for income taxes, if any, on its share of the Partnership’s net taxable income.

 

Accounting Pronouncements

 

In September 2006, the FASB issued FAS 157, which defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and requires expanded disclosure about fair value measurements.  As described in Note 15, the Partnership adopted this standard in 2008 for financial assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value.

 

In February 2007, the FASB issued FAS No. 159, The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities-Including an amendment of FASB Statement No. 115 (“FAS 159”).  FAS 159 permits companies to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair value.  The Partnership adopted FAS 159 in fiscal year 2008.  FAS 159 did not have an impact on the Partnership’s consolidated financial statements.

 

In December 2007, the FASB issued FAS No. 160, Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements, an amendment of ARB No. 51 (“FAS 160”).  FAS 160 will change the accounting and reporting for minority or noncontrolling interests.  Upon adoption, these interests and transactions between controlling interest and minority interest holders will be accounted for within stockholders’ equity.  FAS 160 also requires an entity to present net income and consolidated comprehensive income attributable to the parent and the minority interest separately in the consolidated financial statements.  The Partnership will adopt FAS 160 in 2009.

In October 2008, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position No. FAS 157-3, Determining the Fair Value of a Financial Asset When the Market for that Asset is Not Active (“FSP FAS 157-3”), which applies to financial assets that are required or permitted to be measured at fair value in accordance with FAS 157.  FSP FAS 157-3 clarifies the application of FAS 157 and provides an example to illustrate key considerations in determining the fair value of a financial asset when the market for that asset is not active.  The Partnership’s adoption of FSP FAS 157-3 did not have a significant impact on the Partnership’s financial position or results of operations, nor did it have a significant impact on the valuation techniques the Partnership used in measuring the fair value of its financial assets.

5.                            Related—Party Transactions

 

The ValueAct Funds are charged a quarterly asset management fee by ValueAct Capital Management, L.P. (the “Management Company”), an affiliate of the Partnership, as compensation for managing the business and affairs of the ValueAct Funds.  For contributions into ValueAct Funds prior to January 1, 2007, the management fee is generally equal to ¼ of 1% of the ValueAct Funds limited partners’ capital accounts balance at the end of each fiscal quarter.  For contributions into ValueAct Funds after January 1, 2007, the management fee is generally equal to ¼ of 2% of the ValueAct Funds limited partners’ capital accounts balance at the end of each fiscal quarter.  The Management Company received $59,316,190 and $10,169,507 in management fees for the periods ended December 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively.  The management fees have been eliminated in consolidation.

 

In accordance with the ValueAct Funds’ limited partnership agreements, the amount of the fee paid out of the funds is reduced by the amount of director fees or other fees received by the Management Company from prospective investments in which the ValueAct Funds participate.  Director and other fees of $1,688,004 and $383,508 are included in other income in the accompanying statements of operations for the periods ended December 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively.

 

On September 26, 2008, VA Partners III, LLC notified the limited partners of ValueAct Capital Master Fund III, L.P. and subsidiaries that this partnership will begin returning capital to all partners and will wind-down in an orderly fashion.

 

6.                            Allocations of Net Income or Loss

 

Net income or loss is allocated between the partners’ capital accounts in accordance with the Partnership Agreement.  The Partnership Agreement generally provides, subject to adjustments and timing issues, that profits and losses are allocated to the partners based on their sharing percentage, as detailed in the Partnership Agreement.

 

7.                            Partners’ Capital, Contributions, Withdrawals, and Distributions

 

A separate capital account is maintained for each partner.  Each capital account is equal to the partner’s contributions less withdrawals and distributions, and is adjusted for the partner’s allocable share of the Partnership’s profits and losses.

Partners may make voluntary capital contributions at the discretion of the Partnership’s General Partner.  Should the Partnership require additional working capital to meet its operational needs, the General Partner may request that certain partners make additional capital contributions.

 

Generally, no partner has the right to withdraw capital from the Partnership, except as otherwise provided in the Partnership Agreement.

 

8.                            Financial Guarantees

 

The Partnership indemnifies covered persons, as defined in the Partnership Agreement, from and against all claims, demands, liabilities, costs, expenses, damages, losses, suits, proceedings and actions in connection with activities of the Partnership.  The Partnership has not had prior claims or losses pursuant to these indemnifications and expects the risk of loss to be remote.

 

9.                            Foreign Securities

 

The ValueAct Funds invest in securities of foreign companies which involve risks and considerations not typically associated with investing in U.S. companies.  These risks include devaluation of currencies, different securities transaction clearance and settlement practices, and future adverse political and economic developments.  Moreover, securities of foreign companies and their markets may be less liquid and their prices more volatile than those of securities of comparable U.S. companies.

13.                     Loans Receivable from Related Parties

 

The Management Company has entered into promissory note arrangements with various related parties of the Management Company.  Each arrangement was initially funded through a borrowing facility at First Republic Bank (Note 12).  At December 31, 2008 and 2007, the total amount receivable from related parties was $7,339,289 and $10,796,663, respectively.

 

14.                     Retirement Plan

 

The Management Company provides a defined contribution plan (the “Plan”) under Section 401(k) of the Internal Revenue Code to all eligible employees of the Partnership.  The Plan is subject to the provisions of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (“ERISA”).

 

15.                     Fair Value Measurements

 

The Partnership adopted the provisions of FAS 157, effective January 1, 2008.  Under FAS 157, fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability (i.e., the “exit price”) in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date.  In determining fair value, the Partnership uses various valuation approaches.  FAS 157 establishes a fair value hierarchy for inputs used in measuring fair value that maximizes the use of observable inputs and minimizes the use of unobservable inputs by requiring that the most observable inputs be used when available.  Observable inputs are those that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability based on market data obtained from sources independent of the Partnership.  Unobservable inputs reflect the Partnership’s assumption about the inputs market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability developed based on the best information available in the circumstances.

 

The fair value hierarchy is categorized into three levels based on the inputs as follows:

 

Level 1 - Valuations based on unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Partnership has the ability to access.  The type of investments included in Level I include listed equities.  Valuation adjustments and block discounts are not applied to Level 1 securities.  Since valuations are based on quoted prices that are readily and regularly available in an active market, valuation of these securities does not entail a significant degree of judgment.

 

Level 2 - Valuations based on quoted prices in markets that are not active or for which all significant inputs are observable, either directly or indirectly.  Investments which are generally included in this category include less liquid equities.

 

Level 3 - Valuations based on inputs that are unobservable and significant to the overall fair value measurement.  Investments that are included in this category generally include investments in corporate bonds.

 

The availability of valuation techniques and observable inputs can vary from security to security and is affected by a wide variety of factors, including the type of security, whether the security is new and not yet established in the marketplace, and other characteristics particular to the transaction.  To the extent that valuation is based on models or inputs that are less observable or unobservable in the market, the determination of fair value requires more judgment.  Those estimated values do not necessarily represent the amounts that may ultimately be realized due to the occurrence of future circumstances that cannot be reasonably determined.  In certain cases, the inputs used to measure fair value may fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy.  In such cases, for disclosure purposes, the level in the fair value hierarchy within which the fair value measurement falls is determined by the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement.
