If there is a count on the current batter, I (as PU) will restart the at-bat by announcing the count; just as I would after any other significant delay. If asked, I will restate the outs.

As BU, my responsibility is to make sure PU knows how many warmup pitches have been thrown when you are done announcing the substitutions. After that, I get in position for the next play.
This covers it all, in my opinion.
