opportunity for the legacy CSI shareholders, through ownership of the Company’s common stock following the merger, to participate in the potential growth of the combined company’s residential solar, battery storage, and grid services solutions business.

The Company accounted for the merger as a reverse recapitalization whereby it was determined that Pineapple Energy was the accounting acquirer and CSI was the accounting acquiree. Refer to Note 2, Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, for further details. The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes reflect the historical results of Pineapple Energy prior to the merger and do not include the historical results of CSI prior to the consummation of the merger.

As a result of the reverse merger, the acquired assets and assumed liabilities of CSI were remeasured and recognized at fair value as of the acquisition date. The total purchase price represents the fair value of the Company common stock held by legacy CSI shareholders at the time of the merger (2,429,341 shares of common stock). The fair value of this purchase consideration was $19,872,009 using the publicly traded Company stock price at the merger date, which is allocated at the merger date between the liability associated with the Company’s obligation to pay legacy CSI shareholders cash as part of the CVRs discussed below and equity based on their respective fair values (Level 3 fair values).

The merger agreement also included the execution of CVR agreements with holders of record of CSI stock at the close of business on March 25, 2022. Each shareholder of record received one contractual non-transferable CVR per share of common stock held, which entitles the holders of the CVRs to receive a portion of the cash, cash equivalents, investments and net proceeds of any divestiture, assignment, or other disposition of all legacy assets of CSI and/or its legacy subsidiaries, JDL and Ecessa, that are related to CSI’s pre-merger business, assets, and properties, including the sale of JDL and Ecessa, that occur during the 24-month period following the closing of the merger. As of the merger date, the fair value of the CVR liability was estimated at $18,277,230, a Level 3 fair value, which was determined based on the provisional fair value of the tangible and definite-lived intangibles assets of CSI discussed below. The CVR liability is adjusted to fair value each reporting period. The Company is required to review the availability of funds for disbursement to CVR holders on a quarterly basis, starting on June 30, 2022. If the funds available are less than $200,000, then the amount gets aggregated with the next payment. During the third quarter of 2022, the Company distributed $3.60 per CVR, or $8,745,628 in total. Remaining legacy assets to be sold include the Company’s legacy CSI subsidiaries, JDL and Ecessa, which are classified as held for sale as of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022 and included within discontinued operations.

The purchase price allocation for the merger is based on the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed and has been allocated as follows:

The identifiable intangible assets from the merger are definite-lived assets. These assets include trade names, developed technology, and customer relationships and have a provisional weighted average amortization period of four years. Goodwill recorded as part of the purchase price allocation is not tax deductible. The trade name fair values were determined using the relief-from-royalty method, an income approach, which included the following significant assumptions: projected revenue by business, royalty rate, income tax rate, and discount rate. The fair values of the developed technology associated with the Ecessa business and customer relationships associated with the JDL business were determined using the multiple period excess-earnings method, an income approach, which included the following significant assumptions: projected Ecessa revenues, obsolescence factor, margins, depreciation, contributory asset charges, discount rates, and income tax rates. The fair value of the customer relationships associated with the Ecessa business was determined using the distributor method, an income approach, which included the following significant assumptions: projected Ecessa revenue, customer attrition, margins, contributory asset charges, discount rates, and income tax rates.

The merger included the acquisition of current assets held for sale related to CSI’s company headquarters building located in Minnetonka, Minnesota, pursuant to a purchase agreement entered into with Buhl Investors LLC on November 18, 2021. The agreement was further amended on February 15, 2022, April 11, 2022 and April 26, 2022, to allow for additional time to complete due diligence. The assets were recorded at the purchase price of $6,800,000 less the costs to sell the building as of March 31, 2022. On May 26, 2022, the purchase agreement was amended to reduce the purchase price to $6,500,000 and the building sale closed on June 10, 2022. The Company received net proceeds of $6,281,000 and recorded a loss on the sale of $285,000 during the second quarter of 2022.

The condensed consolidated financial statements include results of operations of CSI following the consummation of the merger for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, which included $1,752,182 and $86,932 of revenue, respectively, and net income of $44,683 and $3,874, respectively, related to its JDL and Ecessa businesses included in discontinued operations and a net loss of $145,940 and $39,648, respectively.

HEC Asset Acquisition

On March 28, 2022, immediately prior to the closing of the merger, Pineapple Energy completed its acquisition of substantially all of the assets of HEC and E-Gear and assumed certain liabilities of HEC and E-Gear pursuant to the Asset Purchase Agreement dated March 1, 2021, as amended by Amendment No. 1 to Asset Purchase Agreement dated December 16, 2021, by and among Pineapple Energy as Buyer, HEC and E-Gear as Sellers, and Steve P. Godmere, as representative for the Sellers. This acquisition was an expansion in the residential solar market and is a strategic start to 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. At the closing of this acquisition, Pineapple Energy issued 6,250,000 Class B units, which upon the closing of the merger were converted into 1,562,498 shares of the Company’s common stock, with a fair value of $12,781,234 using the publicly traded stock price at the merger date. The sellers received $12,500,000 in initial cash consideration, less $164,888 in working capital adjustments, bringing the aggregate purchase price to $25,116,346, with cash acquired totaling $215,684.

The assets and liabilities of HEC and E-Gear were recorded as of the merger date at their respective fair values. The purchase price allocation is based on the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed and has been allocated as follows:

The identifiable intangible assets from the HEC Asset Acquisition are definite-lived assets. These assets include a trade name and developed technology and have a weighted average amortization period of seven years. Goodwill recorded as part of the purchase price allocation is tax deductible. The developed technology preliminary fair values were determined using the relief-from-royalty method, an income approach, which included the following significant assumptions: projected revenue, obsolescence, royalty rate, income tax rate, and discount rate. The fair values of the trade names were determined using the multiple period excess-earnings method, an income approach, which included the following significant assumptions: projected revenues, estimated probability of continued used of tradenames, margins, depreciation, contributory asset charges, discount rates, and income tax rates.

The condensed consolidated financial statements include results of operations of HEC and E-Gear following the consummation of the HEC Asset Acquisition for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, which included $5,166,960 and $221,437 of revenue, respectively, and a net loss of $76,760 and net income of $18,583, respectively.

SUNation Acquisition

On November 9, 2022, the Company completed the SUNation Acquisition as contemplated under 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 $18,440,533, comprised of (a) $2,390,000 in cash consideration paid at closing, (b) the issuance at closing of a $5,000,000 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”), with a fair value of $4,830,533 at the acquisition date, (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, with a fair value of $4,070,000 at the acquisition date and (e) potential earn-out payments of up to $5,000,000 based on the percentage of year-over-year EBITDA growth of the SUNation in 2023 and 2024, as set forth in the Transaction Agreement (the “Earnout”), with a fair value of $2,150,000 at the acquisition date. The Company utilized a Monte Carlo simulation to determine the fair value of the earnout liability, which included the following significant assumptions: the expected probability and timing of achievement of milestone events. As of March 31, 2023, the fair value of the earnout liability was $2,975,000. See further discussion regarding the Short-Term Note and Long-Term Note within Note 9, Commitments and Contingencies.

The assets and liabilities of SUNation were recorded as of the merger date at their respective fair values. The purchase price allocation is based on the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed and has been allocated as follows:

The identifiable intangible assets from the SUNation Acquisition are definite-lived assets. These assets include a trade name and backlog and have a weighted average amortization period of eight years. Goodwill recorded as part of the purchase price allocation is not tax deductible. The trade name fair values were determined on 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.

The condensed consolidated financial statements include results of operations of SUNation following the consummation of the SUNation Acquisition for the three months ended March 31, 2023, which included $16,894,875 of revenue and net income of $965,674.

Transaction costs related to the merger, HEC Asset Acquisition and the SUNation Acquisition totaled $2,020 and $968,505 during the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively, and were recorded in operating expenses within the condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss.
