Reynolds, Inc.
Notes to Consolidated and Combined Financial Statements
December 31, 2004, 2003 and 2002
Note 1: Nature of Operations and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Nature of Operations
Reynolds, Inc. earns revenues predominately from the construction of water and sewer lines, sewer rehabilitation and water and waste water treatment plants. The Company’s customers are principally municipalities and industrial companies. Construction projects are performed throughout the United States; however, such projects occur primarily in the midwestern and southeastern United States.
The Company’s main office is in Orleans, Indiana with field offices in Birmingham, Alabama; Baytown, Texas; Fairburn, Georgia; Louisville, Kentucky and Indianapolis, Indiana.
The wholly-owned subsidiaries of the Company earn revenues from transportation services, manufacturing of inliner components and royalties and commissions from a license agreement.
Principles of Consolidation
Effective January 2004, Reynolds, Inc. and Reynolds Transport Co. entered into a tax-free reorganization agreement. As a result of this agreement, Reynolds Transport Co. became a wholly-owned subsidiary of Reynolds, Inc. The assets of Reynolds Transport Co. were combined at historical cost with Reynolds, Inc. since the assets were under the common control of Reynolds, Inc.
The 2004 consolidated financial statements include Reynolds, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries: Reynolds Transport Co., Reynolds Inliner, LLC, Liner Products, LLC, and Inliner Technologies, LLC. Intercompany accounts are eliminated upon consolidation.
The 2003 and 2002 consolidated and combined financial statements, include Reynolds, Inc. (consolidated with its wholly-owned subsidiaries) and Reynolds Transport Co. The companies are commonly controlled and are related in their operation. Intercompany accounts are eliminated in consolidation and combination.
Use of Estimates
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 the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Cash Equivalents
The Company considers all liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less to be cash equivalents. At December 31, 2004, 2003 and 2002 cash equivalents consisted primarily of money market accounts with banks and brokers. At December 31, 2004, the Company’s cash accounts exceeded federally insured limits by approximately $24,055,000.

December 31, 2004, 2003 and 2002
Inventory Pricing
Inventories consist of inliner materials, parts and other items. Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market. Costs of inliner materials are determined using the first-in, first-out (FIFO) method. Costs of parts and other items are determined using the weighted-average method.
Investments
Debt securities for which the Company has the positive intent and ability to hold until maturity are classified as held-to-maturity securities and valued at historical cost, adjusted for amortization of premiums and accretion of discounts computed by the level-yield method. Realized gains and losses, based on the specifically identified cost of the security, are included in net income.
Accounts Receivable
Accounts receivable are based on amounts billed to customers. The Company provides an allowance for doubtful accounts, which is based upon a review of outstanding receivables, historical collection information and existing economic conditions. Accounts receivable are ordinarily due 30 days after the issuance of the invoice. Contract retentions are due 30 days after completion of the project and acceptance by the owner. Delinquent receivables are written off based on individual credit evaluation and specific circumstances of the customer.
Construction Joint Ventures
The Company, in the normal conduct of its business, enters into joint bid arrangements with other contractors. The agreements specify each item of the contract to be completed, which party will complete it and the applicable unit price accepted. Further, to the extent there may be profits and losses, each party agrees to look only to its separate segment of the contract and the revenue it generates. The joint venture partner named the sponsor submits all billings to the customer and collects all revenue when due. Such agreements are treated as agency agreements for financial statement purposes; however, both parties to the agreements have joint liability to complete the project.
Property and Equipment
Property and equipment are depreciated over the estimated useful life of each asset. Annual depreciation is primarily computed by the straight-line method for buildings and the declining-balance method for other assets. Depreciation expense was $6,392,681, $7,018,972, and $6,314,038 in 2004, 2003 and 2002, respectively. The lives used for items within each property classification are as follows:
             
    Years    
Buildings
    31.5      
Construction Equipment
    5      
Autos and Trucks
    5

At each balance sheet date or as circumstances indicate necessary, a determination is made by management as to whether the value of long-lived assets, including assets to be disposed of, has been impaired. The determination is based on several criteria, including, but not limited to, revenue trends, undiscounted operating cash flows and other operating factors.
Allocation of Equipment Costs
The Company charges each contract for the use of Company-owned equipment based upon pre-established monthly rates. The actual equipment costs, including depreciation, are accumulated separately. The difference between amounts charged to contracts and the actual costs is included in the financial statements within Cost of Revenue Earned.
Acquired Intangible Asset
The Company has recorded an intangible asset related to its investment in a license agreement. Amortization is calculated by the straight-line method over a 15-year life. Annually, the Company assesses the implied fair value of the intangible asset and if it is lower than its carrying amount, the intangible asset is written down to its implied fair value.
Income Taxes
Effective January 1, 2004, the Reynolds Transport Co. became an “S” Corporation. This election resulted in the reversal of the $1,141,000 deferred tax liability and a credit to the provision for income taxes. Previously, deferred tax assets and liabilities were recognized in the Reynolds Transport Co. financial statements for the tax effects of differences between the financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities.
The Company’s stockholders have elected to have the Company’s income taxed as an “S” Corporation under provisions of the Internal Revenue Code and a similar section of the state income tax law. Therefore, taxable income or loss is reported to the individual stockholders for inclusion in their respective tax returns and no provision for federal and state income taxes is included in these statements.
Revenue and Cost Recognition
Profits from construction contracts and construction joint ventures are generally recognized by applying percentages of completion for each year to the total estimated profits for the respective contracts. The length of each contract varies, but is typically about one year. The percentages of completion are determined by relating the actual costs of work performed to date to the current estimated total costs of the respective contracts. Contract costs include all direct material and labor costs and those indirect costs related to contract performance, such as indirect labor, supplies, tools, repairs and depreciation costs. Selling, general and administrative costs are charged to expense as incurred.

When the estimate on a contract indicates a loss, the Company’s policy is to record the entire loss. The cumulative effect of revisions in estimates of total costs or revenue during the course of the work is reflected in the accounting period in which the facts that caused the revision first become known. An amount equal to the costs attributable to unapproved change orders and claims is included in the total estimated revenue when realization is probable. Profit from claims is recorded in the year such claims are resolved. Because of the inherent uncertainties in estimating costs and revenues, it is at least reasonably possible that the estimates used could change in the near term.
Revenues from transportation services are recognized at the time of shipment.
Revenues from manufactured products are recognized on the date goods are shipped from the factory and title is transferred.
Royalty and commission revenues from the KMG license agreement are recognized at the time of service.
Earnings Per Share
Earnings per common share are based upon the weighted average number of common and dilutive equivalent shares outstanding. Options to purchase common stock are included based on the treasury stock method for dilutive earnings per share except when their effect is antidilutive. Options to purchase 6,025, 7,825 and 11,451 shares have been excluded from weighted average shares in 2004, 2003 and 2002, respectively, as their effect was antidilutive.
Stock Option Plan
At December 31, 2004, the Company has a stock-based employee compensation plan, which is described more fully in Note 13. The Company accounts for this plan under the recognition and measurement principles of APB Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees, and related Interpretations. No stock-based employee compensation cost is reflected in net income, as all options granted under this plan had an exercise price equal to the market value of the underlying common stock on the grant date. The following table illustrates the effect on net income and earnings per share if the Company had applied the fair value provisions of FASB Statement No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation, to stock-based employee compensation.

Disclosure About Fair Value of Financial Instruments
Fair value is the estimated amount at which financial assets or liabilities could be exchanged in a current transaction between willing parties, other than in a forced or liquidation sale. Cash and cash equivalents, receivables, accounts payable, bank loans payable and long-term debt have carrying values that approximate fair values. Investment fair values equal quoted market prices, if available. If quoted market prices are not available, fair value is estimated based on quoted market prices of similar securities.
Reclassifications
Certain reclassifications have been made to the 2003 and 2002 financial statements to conform to the 2004 financial statement presentation. These reclassifications had no effect on net earnings.

Total contract revenue earned by line of business before adjustments and eliminations includes both revenue to unaffiliated customers (as reported in the Company’s consolidated and combined statements of income and stockholders’ equity) and intersegment contract revenue. Intersegment contract revenue is accounted for by the same method as contract revenue to unaffiliated customers.

Operating income is contract revenue earned less cost of revenue earned and general and administrative expenses. In computing operating income, none of the following have been added or deducted; other income (expense) or provision (benefit) for income taxes.
Identifiable assets by line of business are those assets that are used in the Company’s operations in each industry.
Note 16: Significant Estimates and Concentrations
Accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America require disclosure of certain significant estimates and current vulnerabilities due to certain concentrations. Estimates related to calculating the current estimated total costs and revenue of contracts in process are included in Note 1 under the heading Revenue and Cost Recognition. Other matters include the following:
General Litigation
The Company is subject to claims and lawsuits that arise primarily in the ordinary course of business. It is the opinion of management that the disposition or ultimate resolution of such claims and lawsuits will not have a material adverse effect on the consolidated financial position of the Company.

Labor Agreement
Approximately 50% of the Company’s employees are covered by collective bargaining agreements. Collective bargaining agreements covering approximately 58% of these employees expire within the next year.
Major Customers
The Company has net sales to two major customers (defined as a customer who provided in excess of 10% of total revenue), which approximated 25% and 9% of net sales in 2004 and 2003, respectively. The Company had no customers which met the definition of major customer in 2002.
Future Change in Accounting Principle
The Financial Accounting Standards Board recently issued Statement No. 123R “Share-Based Payment” which requires the Company to recognize compensation cost for options awards. The Company expects to first apply the new statement during fiscal year ending December 31, 2006 by using a modified version of prospective application. The impact of applying the new statement has not yet been determined.
In November 2004, the FASB issued Statement No. 151, Inventory Costs, an amendment of ARB No. 43, Chapter 4. This statement clarifies that items such as idle facility expense, excessive spoilage, double freight, and re-handling costs should be classified as a current-period charge. The Statement also requires the allocation of fixed production overhead to inventory based on the normal capacity of the production facilities. The Statement is effective for inventory costs incurred during fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2005. The Company has not yet determined the impact that this new pronouncement will have on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
In December 2004, the FASB issued Statement 153, Exchanges of Nonmonetary Assets, an amendment of APB Opinion No. 29. Statement No. 29 generally provides that exchanges of nonmonetary assets should be measured based on the fair value of the assets exchanged subject to exception for exchanges involving similar productive assets with a general exception for exchanges that do not have commercial substance. A nonmonetary exchange has commercial substance if the future cash flows of the entity are expected to change significantly as a result of the exchange. This Statement is effective for nonmonetary asset exchanges in periods beginning after June 15, 2005. The Company has not yet determined the impact that this new pronouncement will have on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

Reynolds, Inc.
Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements
Nine Months Ended September 30, 2005 and 2004
Note 1: Nature of Operations and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Nature of Operations
Reynolds, Inc. earns revenues predominately from the construction of water and sewer lines, sewer rehabilitation and water and waste water treatment plants. The Company’s customers are principally municipalities and industrial companies. Construction projects are performed throughout the United States; however, such projects occur primarily in the midwestern and southeastern United States.
The Company’s main office is in Orleans, Indiana with field offices in Birmingham, Alabama; Baytown, Texas; Fairburn, Georgia; Louisville, Kentucky and Indianapolis, Indiana.
The wholly-owned subsidiaries of the Company earn revenues from transportation services, manufacturing of inliner components and royalties and commissions from a license agreement.
On September 28, 2005, the Company was acquired by Layne Christensen Company (“Layne”), a publicly traded company providing services and products to the water resources, mineral exploration, geoconstruction and energy markets. Reynolds will continue to operate as a separate unit within Layne and the acquisition had no effect on the stand alone financial statements of Reynolds.
Principles of Consolidation
Effective January 2004, Reynolds, Inc. and Reynolds Transport Co. entered into a tax-free reorganization agreement. As a result of this agreement, Reynolds Transport Co. became a wholly-owned subsidiary of Reynolds, Inc. The assets of Reynolds Transport Co. were combined at historical cost with Reynolds, Inc. since the assets were under the common control of Reynolds, Inc. The consolidated financial statements include Reynolds, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries: Reynolds Transport Co., Reynolds Inliner, LLC, Liner Products, LLC, and Inliner Technologies, LLC. Intercompany accounts are eliminated upon consolidation.
Use of Estimates
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 the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Cash Equivalents
The Company considers all liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less to be cash equivalents.

Inventory Pricing
Inventories consist of inliner materials, parts and other items. Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market. Costs of inliner materials are determined using the first-in, first-out (FIFO) method. Costs of parts and other items are determined using the weighted-average method.
Investments
Debt securities for which the Company has the positive intent and ability to hold until maturity are classified as held-to-maturity securities and valued at historical cost, adjusted for amortization of premiums and accretion of discounts computed by the level-yield method. Realized gains and losses, based on the specifically identified cost of the security, are included in net income.
Accounts Receivable
Accounts receivable are based on amounts billed to customers. The Company provides an allowance for doubtful accounts, which is based upon a review of outstanding receivables, historical collection information and existing economic conditions. Accounts receivable are ordinarily due 30 days after the issuance of the invoice. Contract retentions are due 30 days after completion of the project and acceptance by the owner. Delinquent receivables are written off based on individual credit evaluation and specific circumstances of the customer.
Construction Joint Ventures
The Company, in the normal conduct of its business, enters into joint bid arrangements with other contractors. The agreements specify each item of the contract to be completed, which party will complete it and the applicable unit price accepted. Further, to the extent there may be profits and losses, each party agrees to look only to its separate segment of the contract and the revenue it generates. The joint venture partner named the sponsor submits all billings to the customer and collects all revenue when due. Such agreements are treated as agency agreements for financial statement purposes; however, both parties to the agreements have joint liability to complete the project.
Property and Equipment
Property and equipment are depreciated over the estimated useful life of each asset. Annual depreciation is primarily computed by the straight-line method for buildings and the declining-balance method for other assets. Depreciation expense was $4,277,685 and $4,951,529, for the nine months ended September 30, 2005 and 2004, respectively. The lives used for items within each property classification are as follows:
         
    Years  
Buildings
    31.5  
Construction Equipment
    5  
Autos and Trucks

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
At each balance sheet date or as circumstances indicate necessary, a determination is made by management as to whether the value of long-lived assets, including assets to be disposed of, has been impaired. The determination is based on several criteria, including, but not limited to, revenue trends, undiscounted operating cash flows and other operating factors.
Allocation of Equipment Costs
The Company charges each contract for the use of Company-owned equipment based upon pre-established monthly rates. The actual equipment costs, including depreciation, are accumulated separately. The difference between amounts charged to contracts and the actual costs is included in the financial statements within Cost of Revenue Earned.
Acquired Intangible Asset
The Company has recorded an intangible asset related to its investment in a license agreement. Amortization is calculated by the straight-line method over a 15-year life. Annually, the Company assesses the implied fair value of the intangible asset and if it is lower than its carrying amount, the intangible asset is written down to its implied fair value.
Income Taxes
Effective January 1, 2004, the Reynolds Transport Co. became an “S” Corporation. This election resulted in the reversal of the deferred tax liability and a credit to the provision for income taxes. Previously, deferred tax assets and liabilities were recognized in the Reynolds Transport Co. financial statements for the tax effects of differences between the financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities.
The Company’s stockholders have elected to have the Company’s income taxed as an “S” Corporation under provisions of the Internal Revenue Code and a similar section of the state income tax law. Therefore, taxable income or loss is reported to the individual stockholders for inclusion in their respective tax returns and no provision for federal and state income taxes is included in these statements.
Revenue and Cost Recognition
Profits from construction contracts and construction joint ventures are generally recognized by applying percentages of completion for each year to the total estimated profits for the respective contracts. The length of each contract varies, but is typically about one year. The percentages of completion are determined by relating the actual costs of work performed to date to the current estimated total costs of the respective contracts. Contract costs include all direct material and labor costs and those indirect costs related to contract performance, such as indirect labor, supplies, tools, repairs and depreciation costs. Selling, general and administrative costs are charged to expense as incurred.

Reynolds, Inc.
Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements
Nine Months Ended September 30, 2005 and 2004
When the estimate on a contract indicates a loss, the Company’s policy is to record the entire loss. The cumulative effect of revisions in estimates of total costs or revenue during the course of the work is reflected in the accounting period in which the facts that caused the revision first become known. An amount equal to the costs attributable to unapproved change orders and claims is included in the total estimated revenue when realization is probable. Profit from claims is recorded in the year such claims are resolved. Because of the inherent uncertainties in estimating costs and revenues, it is at least reasonably possible that the estimates used could change in the near term.
Revenues from transportation services are recognized at the time of shipment.
Revenues from manufactured products are recognized on the date goods are shipped from the factory and title is transferred.
Royalty and commission revenues from the KMG license agreement are recognized at the time of service.
Earnings Per Share
Earnings per common share are based upon the weighted average number of common and dilutive equivalent shares outstanding. Options to purchase common stock are included based on the treasury stock method for dilutive earnings per share except when their effect is antidilutive. There were no dilutive stock options for the nine months ended September 30, 2005 or 2004.
Earnings per share were computed as follows:
                 
    2005     2004  
     
Net Income
  $ 10,083,791     $ 7,592,491  
     
 
               
Weighted Average Shares
    478,425       476,700  
     
 
               
Basic Earnings Per Share
  $ 21.08     $ 15.93  
     
Stock Option Plan
The Company had a stock-based employee compensation plan accounted for under the recognition and measurement principles of APB Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees, and related Interpretations. No stock-based employee compensation cost is reflected in net income, as all options granted under this plan had an exercise price equal to the market value of the underlying common stock on the grant date. The following table illustrates the effect on net income and earnings per share if the Company had applied the fair value provisions of FASB Statement No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation, to stock-based employee compensation.

Disclosure About Fair Value of Financial Instruments
Fair value is the estimated amount at which financial assets or liabilities could be exchanged in a current transaction between willing parties, other than in a forced or liquidation sale. Cash and cash equivalents, receivables, accounts payable, bank loans payable and long-term debt have carrying values that approximate fair values. Investment fair values equal quoted market prices, if available. If quoted market prices are not available, fair value is estimated based on quoted market prices of similar securities.

Reynolds, Inc.
Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements
September 30, 2005 and 2004
Future Change in Accounting Principle
The Financial Accounting Standards Board recently issued Statement No. 123R “Share-Based Payment” which requires the Company to recognize compensation cost for options awards. The Company expects to first apply the new statement during fiscal year ending December 31, 2006 by using a modified version of prospective application. The impact of applying the new statement has not yet been determined.
In November 2004, the FASB issued Statement No. 151, Inventory Costs, an amendment of ARB No. 43, Chapter 4. This statement clarifies that items such as idle facility expense, excessive spoilage, double freight, and re-handling costs should be classified as a current-period charge. The Statement also requires the allocation of fixed production overhead to inventory based on the normal capacity of the production facilities. The Statement is effective for inventory costs incurred during fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2005. The Company has not yet determined the impact that this new pronouncement will have on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
In December 2004, the FASB issued Statement 153, Exchanges of Nonmonetary Assets, an amendment of APB Opinion No. 29. Statement No. 29 generally provides that exchanges of nonmonetary assets should be measured based on the fair value of the assets exchanged subject to exception for exchanges involving similar productive assets with a general exception for exchanges that do not have commercial substance. A nonmonetary exchange has commercial substance if the future cash flows of the entity are expected to change significantly as a result of the exchange. This Statement is effective for nonmonetary asset exchanges in periods beginning after June 15, 2005. The Company has not yet determined the impact that this new pronouncement will have on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

     (b) Pro forma financial information.
Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Consolidated Financial Information
On September 28, 2005 (the “Closing Date”), the Company acquired 100% of the outstanding stock of Reynolds, Inc. (“Reynolds”), a privately held company and a major supplier of products and services to the water and wastewater industries. The acquisition will expand the capabilities of the Company’s Water Resources division in the areas of water and wastewater infrastructure. Reynolds’ primary service lines include designing and building of water and wastewater treatment plants, water and wastewater transmission lines, cured in place pipe (“CIPP”) services for sewer rehabilitation, water supply wells and Ranney collector wells. For convenience, the acquisition has been treated as being effective October 1, 2005. The purchase price for Reynolds was $112,356,000, consisting of $60,000,000 cash, 2,222,216 shares of Layne common stock (valued at $45,053,000), cash purchase price adjustments of $6,120,000 (to be paid in future periods) and costs of $1,183,000. Layne common stock was valued in the transaction based upon the five-day average of the closing price of the stock two days before and two days after the terms of the acquisition were agreed to and publicly announced. The cash purchase price adjustments consist primarily of an adjustment to be paid based on the amount by which working capital at the Closing Date exceeded a threshold amount established in the purchase agreement. This amount will be paid to the Reynolds shareholders beginning twenty-four months following the Closing Date based on the collection of certain contract retainage amounts. Of the cash and stock consideration, $9,000,000 and 333,333 shares of Layne common stock were placed in escrow to secure certain representations, warranties and indemnifications under the purchase agreement (the “Escrow Fund”). The Escrow Fund will be released to the Reynolds shareholders twenty-four months following the Closing Date, subject to any pending claims.
In addition, there is a contingent consideration up to a maximum of $15,000,000 (the “Earnout Amount”), which is based on Reynolds operating performance over a period of thirty-six months following the Closing Date (the “Earnout Period”). The Earnout Amount is based on a multiple of Reynolds’ earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization which exceed a threshold amount during the Earnout Period. If earned, the contingent payment will be paid 60% in cash and 40% in Layne common stock, subject to stockholder approval of the shares to be issued, if required. Any shares not approved for issuance will be paid in cash.
The unaudited pro forma condensed financial information is presented assuming the acquisition occurred as of February 1, 2004. Layne’s fiscal year end is January 31 and Reynolds’ is December 31. Therefore, the pro forma statements of income herein combine Layne’s statement of income for the year ended January 31, 2005 with Reynolds’ statement of income for the year ended December 31, 2004, and Layne’s statement of income for the nine-month period ended October 31, 2005 with Reynolds’ statement of income for the eight-months ended September 30, 2005. Layne’s statement of income for the nine-month period includes one month of the operations of Reynolds resulting in a total of nine months being included in the condensed consolidated pro forma financial information for the interim period.
The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial statements are based upon available information and upon certain estimates and assumptions as described in the Notes to the Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. The allocation of the purchase price of Reynolds is preliminary and is subject to revisions when the Company receives final information regarding the fair value of the assets and liabilities acquired, including appraisals and other analyses. Such revisions may be significant and will be recorded by the Company as further adjustments to the purchase price allocation. The purchase price is detailed as follows (in thousands):

Purchase consideration:
       
Debt financed cash consideration
  $ 60,000  
Value of common stock issued
    45,053  
Cash purchase price adjustments
    6,120  
Transaction costs
    1,183  
 
     
Total purchase consideration
  $ 112,356  
 
     
Based on the Company’s preliminary allocation of the purchase price, the acquisition had the following effect on the Company’s consolidated financial position (in thousands):
         
Working capital
  $ 21,597  
Long-lived and other non-current assets
    17,885  
Goodwill
    72,874  
 
     
Total
  $ 112,356  
 
     
These estimates and assumptions are preliminary and have been made solely for purposes of developing these unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial statements and are based upon, and should be read in conjunction with, our historical financial statements and the related notes to such financial statements and the historical financial statements of Reynolds.
The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial statements and notes thereto contain forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. Therefore, our actual results may vary materially from those discussed herein. Layne’s unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial statements do not purport to be indicative of the results that would have been reported had such events actually occurred on the dates specified, nor are they indicative of our future results.

Layne Christensen Company and Subsidiaries
Notes to Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
Pro Forma Adjustments:
1.   Certain Reynolds amounts, primarily depreciation and certain selling, general and administrative expenses, have been reclassified to conform to Layne’s financial statement presentation.
 
2.   To reflect the increase in depreciation expense resulting from the incremental value of equipment acquired with an estimated useful life of five years. At this time management has not completed the final appraisals of the assets and liabilities of Reynolds. As a result, the final appraisal could differ materially from the estimate presented herein.
 
3.   To reflect the increase in interest expense resulting from the issuance of debt to finance the cash portion of the purchase price. The interest rate on new debt of $60,000,000 is assumed to be 5.57%, Layne’s approximate variable interest rate under its Credit Agreement as of October 31, 2005. A change of 1/8% in the interest rate would result in a change in interest expense of $75,000 before taxes.
 
4.   To reflect the income tax effect of increased interest expense, depreciation expense and the change in tax status of Reynolds from a non-taxable entity to a taxable entity at the blended federal and state statutory rate of 38.64%.
 
5.   To reflect the increase in shares of common stock outstanding issued as part of the purchase price. The shares were assumed to be issued as of the beginning of each period presented. Options issued concurrent with the acquisition are assumed to be anti-dilutive as the average price of Layne stock during the periods was lower than the exercise price of the options.
 
6.   Layne’s statement of income for the nine months ended October 31, 2005 includes one month of the results of operations of Reynolds. As a result, the one month period ended January 31, 2005 is subtracted from Reynolds’ nine month period ended September 30, 2005 resulting in eight months of Reynolds being combined with Layne’s statement of income for the nine months ended October 31, 2005.
