99.A		Alderwoods Group, Inc. Interim Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements as of October 7, 2006. (Incorporated by reference to Exhibit 99.A to Current Report on Form 8-K, as amended dated February 12, 2007)

SIGNATURES

Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, the registrant has duly caused this report to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned hereunto duly authorized.

Service Corporation International
Unaudited pro forma combined financial information

     On November 28, 2006, Service Corporation International (“SCI”) acquired Alderwoods Group, Inc. (“Alderwoods”) for $20.00 per share in cash, resulting in a purchase price of $1.2 billion, which includes Alderwoods debt, of which $357.7 million was refinanced and $2.2 million was assumed.

The acquisition was financed with cash on hand together with:

	•		$490 million in proceeds, net of issuance costs, from the issuance of senior notes in October 2006;
	•		borrowings under a new $450 million senior credit facility, consisting of a $150 million 3-year term loan, all of which was borrowed in connection with the acquisition, and a $300 million 5-year revolving credit facility, none of which was drawn in connection with the acquisition; and
	•		the issuance of $200 million of debt securities in a private placement.

The following table summarizes, based on the year-end preliminary purchase price allocation, the fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed as of November 28, 2006:

 

 

The allocation of the purchase price, as reflected above, has not been adjusted for planned divestitures.

In connection with the acquisition, SCI and Alderwoods commenced tender offers to purchase certain outstanding notes. These offers expired on November 28, 2006, and SCI and Alderwoods purchased an aggregate principal amount of approximately $479 million of these notes.

SCI has executed a consent order with the staff of the Federal Trade Commission (“FTC”) in connection with the acquisition, which identifies certain properties the FTC has required us to divest as a result of the acquisition. We have entered into or are currently negotiating agreements to sell these properties. These agreements are subject to review and approval by the FTC. We believe that divestiture of the assets, together with the divestiture of other assets that we have identified for sale, will generate proceeds of approximately $230 million in the near future. There can be no assurance that the divestitures will generate the proceeds described above.

The unaudited pro forma combined financial information reflects the combination of the historical consolidated statements of operations for SCI and Alderwoods, adjusted for certain effects of the acquisition, the related financings, and the planned divestitures.

The unaudited pro forma combined statements of operations for the year ended December 31, 2006 give effect to the transactions as if they had occurred on January 1, 2006.

For purposes of the pro forma information, the results of operations of the assets to be sold pursuant to the divestitures have been eliminated from the pro forma statements of operations. No pro forma adjustments have been made to reflect any anticipated gain or loss from the divestitures and no adjustment has been made to reflect any earnings benefit from the reinvestment of any proceeds from the divestiture or any reduction of debt from the application of sale proceeds.

The unaudited pro forma adjustments are based upon currently available information and certain assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. The acquisition was accounted for, and the pro forma combined financial information has been prepared, using the purchase method of accounting. The pro forma adjustments reflect our preliminary estimates of the purchase price allocation, which are subject to revision as more detailed analysis is completed and additional information on the fair

value of Alderwoods assets and liabilities becomes available. To the extent that information not available to us at the closing date subsequently becomes available during the allocation period, as defined in Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 141, we may adjust goodwill, assets or liabilities associated with the acquisition. Additionally, the pro forma adjustments reflect the actual financing transactions that occurred and the impact of those transactions based on estimated interest rates for floating rate financing.

These pro forma results should not be construed to be indicative of future results or results that actually would have occurred had the transactions occurred at the dates presented. In addition, we have not assumed any cost savings or synergies that might occur related to these transactions.

	(2)		Represents a net adjustment for the amortization of the fair value adjustment to cemetery preneed deferred revenue.
	(3)		Represents an adjustment to conform Alderwoods accounting for the recognition of sales of undeveloped cemetery property with SCI’s historical accounting policy.

The intangible assets associated with funeral trust funded preneed deferred revenue and cemetery preneed deferred revenue are amortized relative to the recognition of preneed revenue and included in note (d(5)) and (d(6)).

(f)		The pro forma adjustments to income tax reflect the statutory federal, state, and foreign income tax impact of the pro forma adjustments related to the Alderwoods acquisition (see notes (c), (d), and (e)) and the effects of purchase accounting.
(g)		For purposes of the pro forma information, the results of operations of the assets to be sold pursuant to the divestitures have been eliminated from the pro forma statement of operations. This elimination includes an asset that was acquired in the Alderwoods acquisition and qualifies as discontinued operations in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 144 “Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets. No pro forma adjustments have been made to reflect any anticipated gain or loss from the divestitures and no adjustment has been made to reflect any earnings benefit from the reinvestment of any proceeds from the divestitures or any reduction of debt from the application of sale proceeds.
