On April 30, 2010, a group of investors led by entities affiliated with CHS Capital LLC  (“CHS”) and two other private equity firms acquired a controlling interest in Thermon Holding Corp. and its subsidiaries from Thermon Holdings, LLC (“Predecessor”) for approximately $321,500 in a transaction that was financed by approximately $129,200 of equity investments by CHS, two other private equity firms and certain members of our current and former management team (collectively, the “management investors”) and $210,000 of debt raised in an exempt Rule 144A senior secured note offering to qualified institutional investors (collectively, the “CHS Transactions”). The proceeds from the equity investments and debt financing were used both to finance the acquisition and pay related transaction costs. As a result of the CHS Transactions, Thermon Group Holdings, Inc. became the ultimate parent of Thermon Holding Corp. Thermon Group Holdings, Inc. (“TGH”) and its direct and indirect subsidiaries are referred to collectively as “we”,”our”, the “Company” or “Successor” herein.  We refer to CHS and the two other private equity fund investors collectively as “our private equity sponsors.”

 

In the CHS Transactions, the senior secured notes were issued by Thermon Finance, Inc., which immediately after the closing of the CHS Transactions was merged into our wholly-owned subsidiary Thermon Industries, Inc.

 

The CHS Transactions were accounted for as a purchase combination. The purchase price was allocated to the assets and liabilities acquired based on their estimated fair values. While the Company takes responsibility for the allocation of assets acquired and liabilities assumed, it consulted with an independent third party to assist with the appraisal process.

 

Pushdown accounting was employed to reflect the purchase price paid by our new owner.

 

We have prepared our consolidated financial statements as if TGH had been in existence throughout all relevant periods. The historical financial and other data prior to the closing of the CHS Transactions on April 30, 2010 have been prepared using the historical results of operations and bases of the assets and liabilities of the Predecessor. Our historical financial data prior to May 1, 2010 may not be indicative of our future performance. The CHS Transactions which closed on April 30, 2010, resulted in the liquidation of the equity balances that belonged to the previous owner.  Accordingly, the consolidated statement of operations and cash flows are reported separately for the period from April 1, 2010 to April 30, 2010 for the Predecessor.  The settlement of equity balances and associated transaction expenses of the Predecessor are reported in the period from April 1, 2010 to April 30, 2010.

 

In May 2011, Thermon Group Holdings, Inc. completed its initial public offering (“IPO”) of common shares in which it issued 4,575,098 new common shares and received net proceeds of $48,459, net of underwriting discounts and commissions and offering expenses. Refer to Note 13, “Shareholders’ Equity”.

 

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto of TGH for the year ended March 31, 2011. In our opinion, the accompanying consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring items) considered necessary to present fairly our financial position at December 31, 2011 and March 31, 2011, and the results of our operations for the three months ended December 31, 2011 and 2010, the nine months ended December 31, 2011, the period from May 1, 2010 to December 31, 2010 and the period from April 1 through April 30, 2010. Operating results for the period from May 1 through December 31, 2010 and for the period from April 1 through April 30, 2010 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2011. Certain reclassifications have been made to the prior period presentation to conform to the current period presentation.  All dollar and share amounts are presented in thousands, unless otherwise noted.
