ITEM 5. OTHER EVENTS
On May 27, 2004, CompuCom Systems, Inc. (CompuCom) entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the Merger Agreement) with CHR Holding Corporation and CHR Merger Corporation, providing that, upon satisfaction of the conditions described in the Merger Agreement, at the effective time of the merger, CHR Merger Corporation would be merged into CompuCom (the Merger), each outstanding share of CompuComs common stock would be converted into the right to receive $4.60 in cash, without interest, and each outstanding share of CompuComs preferred stock would be converted into the right to receive $10.00 in cash plus accrued and unpaid dividends, without interest. Safeguard currently owns 24,540,881 shares of CompuCom common stock and 1,500,000 shares of CompuCom series B convertible preferred stock. If consummated, the Merger would result in the disposition of Safeguards entire interest in CompuCom.
The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial information as of March 31, 2004 and for the three months ended March 31, 2004 and 2003 and the years ended December 31, 2003, 2002 and 2001 presented in this Current Report on Form 8-K gives effect to the consummation of the disposition of Safeguards CompuCom shares in the Merger. The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated statements of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2004 and 2003 and the unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated statements of operations for the years ended December 31, 2003, 2002 and 2001 assume that the disposition of Safeguards CompuCom shares in the Merger occurred on January 1, 2001. The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial statements give effect to events that are directly attributable to the proposed disposition. Explanations for these adjustments are included in the notes accompanying the unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated balance sheet and income statements.
Safeguards unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial information should be read in conjunction with the historical financial statements of Safeguard and the information contained in Safeguards Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations contained in Safeguards Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2003 and Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the three-month period ended March 31, 2004. The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial data should not be construed to be indicative of Safeguards financial condition or results of operations had the proposed disposition described above been completed on the dates assumed and are not intended to project Safeguards financial condition on any future date or Safeguards results of operations for any future period.
In addition to the approval of Safeguards shareholders, the consummation of the Merger is subject to other conditions, including CHR Holding Corporation obtaining financing to fund a portion of the merger consideration and the satisfaction of certain minimum working capital targets as of the close of business on the business day immediately preceding the closing date. There can be no guarantee that these conditions will be satisfied and the Merger will be consummated. If the Merger is not consummated, Safeguard will continue to hold its ownership interest in CompuCom and consolidate CompuComs results of operations for the purposes of its financial statements.

The notes to the unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated balance sheet
NOTES TO UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED BALANCE SHEETS
1. CompuCom
The pro forma condensed consolidated balance sheet gives effect to the proposed CompuCom merger assuming the CompuCom merger occurred on March 31, 2004.
2. Proposed Transaction
The proposed transaction assumes the following for Safeguard Scientifics, Inc. (in thousands):
Gross proceeds
|
$ | 127,888 | ||
Receipt of accrued and unpaid dividends from
CompuCom
|
225 | |||
Transaction costs
|
(1,000 | ) | ||
2024 Debenture interest escrow current
|
(3,800 | ) | ||
2024 Debenture interest escrow
non-current
|
(15,900 | ) | ||
Net adjustment to cash
|
107,413 | |||
2006 Notes retirement
|
(54,763 | ) | ||
Net cash proceeds
|
$ | 52,650 | ||
The $127,888,000 of gross cash proceeds to be received by Safeguard in connection with the CompuCom merger does not include any proceeds to be paid to Safeguard as a result of CompuCom shares pledged as collateral in connection with the loan made by Safeguard to Warren V. Musser.
3. Use of Proceeds
The pro forma condensed consolidated balance sheet assumes for the purpose of this presentation that the net sales proceeds of $52,650,000 from the proposed sale of CompuCom will be deposited into a bank account and are presumed to be non-interest bearing cash for the pro forma statements of operations.
4. Debt
The pro forma condensed consolidated balance sheet reflects the reclassification of $41.1 million of convertible subordinated notes due 2006 that were repurchased on May 14, 2004 and $54.8 million to be repurchased using proceeds from the proposed CompuCom merger to a current liability.
5. Compensation Charge
The pro forma condensed consolidated balance sheet assumes the acceleration of certain deferred stock units ($1.4 million) and payment of employee bonuses ($0.3 million) are recorded in liabilities and stockholders equity, as applicable, and are not presented in the pro forma statements of operations.
6. Impairment and Gain (Loss) on Sale
The pro forma condensed consolidated balance sheet assumes that Safeguard will record an estimated impairment charge of approximately $21 million in the second quarter of 2004 to reduce the goodwill related to CompuCom to its estimated fair value. This amount is an estimate and may change significantly depending on changes to Safeguards carrying value in CompuCom due to CompuComs operating results for the second quarter of 2004 and issuances of stock by CompuCom in the second quarter of 2004. This amount may also change significantly for estimates as to the fair value of CompuComs assets and liabilities, and for changes in the estimated net proceeds. This charge was determined by allocating the fair value of CompuCom to its assets and liabilities in a manner similar to that used in a purchase business combination. The fair value of the net assets, including intangible assets, is deducted from the total fair value to determine the implied fair value of goodwill. The impairment charge is equal to the amount by which the implied fair value of the goodwill exceeded the carrying value. Upon the closing of the transaction, Safeguard will record a gain or loss based upon the difference between the carrying value and the net proceeds ultimately received. For purposes of this pro forma balance sheet, Safeguard has assumed that the net impact to equity will be the difference between the March 31, 2004 carrying value and the estimated proceeds of $127 million ($128 million gross proceeds less $1 million in estimated transaction costs).

NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED
1. CompuCom
The pro forma condensed consolidated statements of operations give effect to the proposed CompuCom merger assuming the CompuCom merger occurred on January 1, 2001.
2. Safeguard will record an estimated impairment charge of approximately $21 million in the second quarter of 2004 to reduce the goodwill related to CompuCom to its estimated fair value. In addition, when the transaction is consummated, Safeguard will record $1.4 million of expense related to the acceleration of certain deferred stock units and $0.3 million of expense related to employee bonuses. Safeguard will also record a gain or loss based upon the difference between the carrying value and the net proceeds ultimately received. These amounts are not reflected in the unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated statements of operations above.
