GROVE, INC.

NOTES TO UNAUDITED PRO FORMA COMBINED FINANCIAL INFORMATION

 

1.  

BASIS OF PRO FORMA PRESENTATION

 

The unaudited pro forma combined balance sheet as of March 31, 2022, and the unaudited pro forma statements of operations for the year ended March 31, 2022 and the three and nine month’s ended March 31, 2022, are based on the historical financial statements of the Company and Cygnet Online, LLC (“Cygnet”) after giving effect to the Company’s acquisition of Cygnet and reclassification and adjustments described in the accompanying notes to the unaudited pro forma combined financial information. 

 

The Company accounts for its business combinations using the acquisition method of accounting. The cost of an acquisition is measured as the aggregate of the acquisition date fair values of the assets transferred and liabilities assumed by the Company to the seller’s cash consideration and equity instruments issued. Transaction costs directly attributable to the acquisition are expensed as incurred. The excess of (i) the total costs of acquisition over (ii) the fair value of the identifiable net assets of the acquiree is recorded as identifiable intangible assets and goodwill.

 

The fair values assigned to Cygnet’s assets acquired and liabilities assumed are based on management’s estimates and assumptions. The estimated fair values of these assets acquired and liabilities assumed are considered preliminary and are based on the information that was available as of the date of acquisition. The Company believes that the information provides a reasonable basis for estimating the fair values of assets acquired and liabilities assumed, but is waiting for additional information, primarily related to estimated values of current and non-current income taxes payable and deferred taxes, which are subject to change, pending the finalization of certain tax returns. The Company expects to finalize the valuation of the assets and liabilities as soon as practicable, but not later than one year from the acquisition date.

 

The unaudited pro forma combined financial information is not intended to represent or be indicative of the Company’s consolidated results of operations or financial position that the Company would have reported had the Cygnet acquisition been completed as of the dates presented and should not be taken as a representation of the Company’s future consolidated results of operation or financial position.

 

The unaudited pro forma combined financial information should be read in conjunction with the historical consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes of the Company included in the annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, 2021.

 

Accounting Periods Presented

 

The unaudited pro forma combined balance sheet as of March 31, 2022, and the statements of operations for the year ended March 31, 2022, for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and for the nine months ended March 31, 2022 are presented as if the acquisition of Cygnet had occurred on April 1, 2021 and were carried forward through each of the periods presented.

 

Reclassifications

 

The Company reclassified certain accounts in the presentation of Cygnet’s historical financial statements to conform to the Company’s presentation.

   

Income Taxes

 

Cygnet was treated as a single member LLC and a disregarded entity for federal income tax and state tax income tax purposes. Under these elections, the Company is not a taxpaying entity for federal and state income tax purposes and, accordingly, no provision has been made for such income taxes, except for a minimum state corporate business tax. The member’s allocable share of the Company’s income or loss is reportable on his or her income tax returns.  Effective April 1, 2022 Cygnet was no longer a single member LLC for federal income tax and state tax purposes.

ACQUISITION OF CYGNET

 

Grove, Inc. into a Securities Purchase Agreement to purchase Cygnet Online, LLC, (“Seller”) a Delaware limited liability company effective as of April 1, 2022. The Company purchased 55% of the equity in the business with a purchase price of $6,050,000. The consideration consisted of $1,500,000 in cash, $2,550,000 or 555,489 shares of restricted common stock and a non-negotiable convertible promissory note in the original principal amount of $2,000,000, which can be converted into common stock of the Company at a price of $6.00 per share and is payable in full, to the extent not previously converted, on February 15, 2023. The purchase price is subject to a two-way adjustment based on the amount of Closing Working Capital, as defined in the agreement.

 

Additionally, Seller will be paid up to $700,000 in the form of an earn-out payment based on 7% of Seller’s net revenue during the earn-out period, in accordance with and subject to the terms and conditions of the agreement. The earn-out payment, if any, will be paid 50% in immediately available funds and 50% in Company restricted common stock.

 

The Agreement contains customary confidentiality, non-competition, and non-solicitation provisions for the Seller and Seller’s affiliates.

 

In addition, the Company has the right to purchase Seller’s remaining membership interest in Cygnet. Commencing on October 10, 2022 and continuing for 180 days thereafter, the Company has the right, but not the obligation, to cause the Seller to sell 15% of the membership interest in Cygnet for $1,650,000 in immediately available funds. Commencing on the date that the Company completes its financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2023, and continuing for 120 days thereafter, the Company has the right, but not the obligation, to cause the Seller to sell the remaining 30% of the membership interest in Cygnet for 30% of the amount equal to four times Cygnet’s Adjusted EBITDA (as defined in the Call Agreement) for calendar year 2023, payable by wire transfer of immediately available funds equal to at least 50% of said purchase price with the balance payable through the issuance to Seller of shares of restricted common stock of the Company.

 

The Seller has the right, but not the obligation, at any time commencing on the date that is 120 days after the date the Company completes Cygnet’s financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2023, and continuing for 90 days thereafter, to cause the Company to purchase all of the Seller’s remaining membership interests in Cygnet for a purchase price equal to the product of (i) four times Cygnet’s Adjusted EBITDA (as defined in the Put Agreement) for calendar year 2023, and (ii) the percentage of Cygnet membership interest being sold, payable in shares of restricted common stock of the Company.

 

The assets acquired primarily consist of accounts receivable, inventory, prepaid expenses, and other current assets.

 

Under the purchase method of accounting, the transaction was valued for accounting purposes at an estimated $7,953,184, which was the estimated fair value of the consideration paid by the Company, after it was determined post-closing excess net working capital was approximately $1,203,184. The estimate was based on the consideration paid of 555,489 shares of common stock valued at $2,550,000 based on the closing price on April 1, 2022 of $4.59 per share, cash of $1,500,000 and $2,000,000 convertible note payable based on terms of the agreement and the net assets received.   An additional acquisition liability of $1,203,184 was recorded based on the estimated net working capital being higher than the $1,100,000.
