Notes to Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Financial Statements

 

1.Description of the Transactions

 

SUNation Acquisition

 

On November 9, 2022, the Company entered into a Transaction Agreement (the “Transaction Agreement”) with Solar Merger Sub, LLC, a New York limited liability company and wholly owned subsidiary of the Company (“Solar Merger Sub”), Scott Maskin, James Brennan, Scott Sousa and Brian Karp (collectively, the “Sellers”), and Scott Maskin as representative of each seller, pursuant to which the Company directly or indirectly acquired all of the issued and outstanding equity of SUNation Solar Systems, Inc. and five of its affiliated entities: SUNation Commercial, Inc., SUNation Service, Inc., SUNation Electric, Inc., SUNation Energy, LLC, and SUNation Roofing, LLC (collectively, “SUNation”). Each of SUNation Service, Inc. and SUNation Electric, Inc. were acquired through a merger with and into Solar Merger Sub, with Solar Merger Sub surviving each merger, pursuant to a Plan of Merger, dated as of November 9, 2022 (the “Plan of Merger”). The mergers closed contemporaneously with signing the Transaction Agreement. This acquisition was a further expansion in the residential and commercial solar markets and fits into the Company’s overall acquisition growth plan as it looks to expand further through the acquisition of regional residential solar companies and energy technology solution providers.

 

The Company acquired the equity of SUNation from Sellers for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $21.9 million, comprised of (a) $2.39 million in cash consideration paid at closing, (b) the issuance at closing of a $5.0 million Short-Term Limited Recourse Secured Promissory Note (the “Short-Term Note”), (c) the issuance at closing of a $5,486,000 Long-Term Promissory Note (the “Long-Term Note”), (d) the issuance at closing of an aggregate of 1,480,000 shares (the “Shares”) of Company common stock pursuant to the Plan of Merger, and (e) potential earn-out payments of up to $2.5 million for each of fiscal years 2023 and 2024, based on the percentage of year-over-year EBITDA growth of the SUNation, as set forth in the Transaction Agreement (the “Earnout”).

 

The Short-Term Note is secured as described below and matures on August 9, 2023. It carries an annual interest rate of 4% until the three-month anniversary of issuance, 8% thereafter until the six-month anniversary of issuance, then 12% thereafter until the Short-Term Note is paid in full. The Long-Term Note is unsecured and matures on November 9, 2025. It carries an annual interest rate of 4% until the first anniversary of issuance, then 8% thereafter until the Long-Term Note is paid in full. The Company will be required to make a principal payment of $2.5 million on the second anniversary of the Long-Term Note. Both the Short-Term Note and Long-Term Note may be prepaid at the Company’s option at any time without penalty.

 

Pursuant to a Limited Pledge and Security Agreement among the Company and Sellers, dated November 9, 2022 (the “Pledge Agreement”), the Short-Term Note is secured by a pledge by the Company and Merger Sub of the equity of SUNation purchased under the Transaction Agreement. While the Short-Term Note remains outstanding, the Company also agrees to certain negative covenants with respect to the operation of SUNation, including limits on distributions, the incurrence of indebtedness, imposition of liens, and sales of assets outside the ordinary course of business. If Sellers exercise their remedies under the Pledge Agreement (due to an event of default by the Company under the Short-Term Note or the Pledge Agreement), Sellers would be able recover the pledged equity of the Acquired Companies and the Company’s remaining obligations under the Short-Term Note and the Long-Term Note would be cancelled in their entirety and would be of no further force and effect. The Company’s obligations to make any Earnout payment under the Transaction Agreement would also be terminated. The Pledge Agreement will automatically terminate upon the payment of all amounts due under the Short-Term Note.

 

Pineapple Merger Transaction

 

On March 1, 2021, CSI, Merger Sub, and Pineapple LLC, entered into a Merger Agreement that was amended on December 16, 2021, pursuant to which Merger Sub merged with and into Pineapple LLC, with Pineapple LLC surviving the merger as a wholly-owned subsidiary of CSI upon closing of the merger on March 28, 2022. Unless otherwise stated, references to the “Merger Agreement” mean the Merger Agreement as amended. As consideration for the Pineapple Merger Transaction, the Company issued shares of its common stock to the members of Pineapple LLC and the members of Pineapple LLC became the majority owners of the Company’s outstanding common stock upon the closing of the merger.

 

Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, the outstanding Pineapple LLC units held by members of Pineapple LLC as of and immediately prior to the effective time were automatically cancelled and represented only the right to receive shares of the Company’s common stock. As consideration for the merger, the Company issued an aggregate of 5,006,245 shares of its common stock to the former unit holders of Pineapple LLC.

HEC Asset Acquisition

 

On March 1, 2021, Pineapple LLC entered into the Asset Purchase Agreement dated March 1, 2021, which was amended on December 16, 2021 (the “HEC Asset Acquisition Agreement”). Unless otherwise stated, references to the HEC Acquisition Agreement means the asset purchase agreement as amended. Pursuant to the HEC Acquisition Agreement, and subject to the terms and conditions contained therein, immediately prior to the closing of the Pineapple Merger Transaction, Pineapple LLC completed its acquisition of substantially all of the assets and assumption of certain liabilities of HEC and E-Gear pursuant to the HEC Asset Acquisition Agreement. At the closing of the HEC Acquisition Agreement, the sellers were paid approximately $12.3 million. Additionally, Pineapple LLC issued an aggregate 6,250,000 Class B Units of Pineapple LLC at closing to certain Pineapple LLC unit holders, which were subsequently converted into 1,562,498 shares of the Company’s common stock pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Merger Agreement as described above.

 

2.Basis of Presentation

 

The pro forma financial information is based on various adjustments and assumptions and is not necessarily indicative of what the Company’s consolidated results of operations actually would have been if the SUNation Acquisition, Pineapple Merger Transaction, or HEC Asset Acquisition had been completed as of the dates indicated or will be for any future periods.

 

The SUNation Acquisition, Pineapple Merger Transaction and HEC Asset Acquisition were treated as business combinations and accounted for using the acquisition method of accounting, with goodwill and other intangible assets recorded, in accordance with ASC 805, Business Combinations, under U.S. GAAP. Accordingly, for accounting purposes, the net assets of Pineapple LLC are stated at historical cost, with the acquired assets and assumed liabilities of CSI, HEC, E-Gear, and SUNation stated at fair value in accordance with the fair value concepts under ASC 820, Fair Value Measurement.

 

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet as of September 30, 2022 gives pro forma effect to the SUNation Acquisition, the Pineapple Merger Transaction, and the HEC Asset Acquisition as if they had been consummated on September 30, 2022.

The Company’s unaudited consolidated balance sheet as of September 30, 2022 and the related notes; and

 

SUNation’s unaudited carve-out balance sheet as of September 30, 2022 and the related notes.

 

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined statements of operations for the year ended December 31, 2021 and the unaudited pro forma condensed combined statements of operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 have been prepared using, and should be read in conjunction with, the following:

As of the date of this filing, the Company has not finalized the detailed valuation study necessary to arrive at the required final estimates of the fair value of the assets acquired, or liabilities assumed and the related allocations of purchase price for the Pineapple Merger Transaction, HEC Asset Acquisition, or SUNation Acquisition. Thus, the allocation of the purchase consideration for these transactions depends upon certain estimates and assumptions, all of which are preliminary. The allocation of the purchase consideration has been made for the purpose of developing the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information. The Company estimated the fair value of these assets and liabilities based on certain internal projected financial information, preliminary valuation studies, and information presented to our management. A final determination of fair values of assets acquired and liabilities assumed relating to the these transactions could differ materially from the preliminary allocation of purchase consideration. This final valuation will be based on the actual net tangible and intangible assets existing at the closing date of the these transactions. The final valuations may materially change the allocation of purchase consideration, which could materially affect the fair values assigned to the assets and liabilities and could result in a material change to the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information.

 

Management has made significant estimates and assumptions in its determination of the pro forma adjustments. As the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information has been prepared based on these preliminary estimates, the final amounts recorded may differ materially from the information presented.

 

The pro forma financial information does not reflect adjustments for any other consummated or probable acquisitions by the Company, or any dispositions that are significant, because no other significant transactions were identified.

 

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information presented is for illustrative purposes only and is not necessarily indicative of the financial position or results of operations that would have been realized if the SUNation Acquisition, Pineapple Merger Transaction and HEC Asset Acquisition had been completed on the dates indicated, nor is it indicative of future operating results or financial position.

(4)Represents the estimated fair value of the Short-Term Note, which has a preliminary value of 100% of the principal balance.

 

(5)Represents the estimated fair value of the Long-Term Note, which has a preliminary value of 88.1% of the principal balance.

 

The adjustments included in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet as of September 30, 2022 for the purchase price consideration are as follows:

 

4A.     Reflects the payment of $2.39 million in cash consideration at closing.

4C.     Reflects the fair value of the issuance of 1,480,000 shares of Company Common Stock at a fair value of $2.75 per share on November 9, 2022, with a par value of $0.05 per share.

 

4D.     Reflects the preliminary fair value of the Short-Term Note as part of the purchase consideration.

 

4E.     Reflects the preliminary fair value of the Long-Term Note as part of the purchase consideration.

 

Under the acquisition method of accounting, the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed of SUNation are recorded at the acquisition date fair values. The pro forma adjustments are preliminary and based on estimates of the fair value and useful lives of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed and have been prepared to illustrate the estimated effects of the SUNation Acquisition.

 

For assets acquired and liabilities assumed, other than the identified intangible assets, the carrying values were assumed to equal fair value. The final determination of the fair value of certain assets and liabilities will be completed within the one-year measurement period subsequent to the closing of the transactions as required by ASC 805. Any potential adjustments made could be material in relation to the preliminary values presented.

 

Accordingly, the pro forma purchase price allocation is subject to further adjustment as additional information becomes available and as additional analyses and final valuations are completed. There can be no assurances that these additional analyses and final valuations will not result in significant changes to the estimates of fair value set forth below.

Purchase Price Allocation

 

The following table sets forth a preliminary allocation of the estimated consideration for the SUNation Acquisition to the identifiable tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on SUNation’s September 30, 2022 balance sheet, with the excess recorded as goodwill:

 

SUNation Estimated Goodwill    
Cash and cash equivalents  $2,060,178 
Trade accounts receivable, net   4,140,633 
Inventories   4,471,975 
Other current assets   4,584,920 
Property and equipment, net   983,903 
Operating lease right of use asset   2,895,796 
Intangible assets, net   5,800,000 
Other assets, net   72,562 
Total Assets  $25,009,967 
Accounts payable  $(4,947,547)
Accrued compensation and benefits   (1,022,282)
Operating lease liability   (126,928)
Other current liabilities   (1,558,686)
Customer deposits   (1,460,048)
Deferred revenue   (3,618,524)
Current portion of loans payable   (463,257)
Loans payable   (2,299,149)
Operating lease liability - non-current   (2,892,842)
Total Liabilities  $(18,389,263)
Net assets acquired (a)  $6,620,704 
Estimated purchase consideration (b)   18,266,000 
Estimated Goodwill (b) - (a)  $11,645,296 

 

In accordance with ASC Topic 350, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets, goodwill will not be amortized, but instead will be tested for impairment at least annually or more frequently if certain impairment indicators are present. In the event management determines that the value of goodwill has become impaired, an accounting charge for the amount of impairment during the quarter in which the determination is made may be recognized.

 

The table below indicates the estimated fair value of each of the identifiable intangible assets associated with the SUNation Acquisition:

 

   Preliminary Estimated
Asset Fair Value
  Weighted Average
Useful Life
(Years)
         
SUNation trade name  $5,300,000     8 years  
Backlog   500,000     1 years  
Total  $5,800,000      

 

10 

 

 

The preliminary fair values reflected above were determined in accordance with ASC 820, Fair Value Measurement. The SUNation trade name amount was determined using an income approach under an estimate developed from the relief-from-royalty method and the projected cash savings over an estimated period of time that would otherwise be required to license this asset. The backlog amount was determined using an income approach under a multi-period excess earnings approach whereby cash flows in excess of those needed to operate contributory assets over a period of time are otherwise attributed to the fair value of the asset. Excess purchase price was allocated to goodwill.

 

The pro forma adjustments included in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet as of September 30, 2022 for the purchase price allocation are as follows:

 

4F.     Reflects the $5.8 million increase in intangible assets due to fair value adjustments recognized as part of the SUNation Acquisition.

 

4G.     Reflects elimination of SUNation historical equity balances.

 

4H.     Reflects the capitalization of the preliminary goodwill for the estimated merger consideration in excess of the fair value of the net assets acquired in connection with the SUNation Acquisition.

 

4I.     Reflects the settlement of certain debt that was paid off at closing and was not assumed by Pineapple in the transaction.

 

4J.     Reflects Pineapple’s and SUNation’s estimated additional transaction costs associated with the SUNation Acquisition, which include, among others, fees paid to financial, legal and accounting advisors and filing fees.

 

The pro forma adjustments included in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined statements of operations for the year ended December 31, 2021 and for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 as a result of the purchase price allocation and other transaction adjustments are as follows:

4AB.     Reflects the estimated stock compensation expense incurred related to approximately $418,000 of equity-based awards that were issued as part of employment agreements entered into in connection with the transaction, which vest over three years.

 

4AC.     Reflects Pineapple’s and SUNation’s estimated additional transaction costs associated with the SUNation Acquisition, which include, among others, fees paid to financial, legal and accounting advisors and filing fees.

 

4AD.     Reflects interest and accretion expense on the Short-Term Note and Long-Term Note issued as part of the consideration of the SUNation Acquisition.
