SPAR GROUP, INC. AND SUBSIDIAIRIES

UNAUDITED PRO FORMA COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

 

On January 9, 2018, SPAR Group, Inc. ("SGRP" or the "Registrant"), and its subsidiaries (together with SGRP, "we", "our" or the "Company"), completed the acquisition of a 51% equity interest (the "Acquisition") in Resource Plus, Inc. ("RPI"), a supplier of professional fixture installation and product merchandising services; and a 51% equity interest in both of its sister companies, Mobex of North Florida, Inc. ("Mobex "), a proprietary retail fixture mobilization system manufacturer, and Leasex, LLC ("Leasex "), a company formed to lease Mobex's proprietary equipment. RPI owns a 70% interest in BDA Resource, LLC, a Florida limited liability company ("BDA"), and RPI, Leasex, Mobex and BDA may be referred to individually and collectively as "Resource Plus".

 

SGRP's subsidiary, SPAR Marketing Force, Inc. ("SMF"), purchased those equity interests in Resource Plus from Joseph L. Paulk and Richard Justus pursuant to separate Stock Purchase Agreements each dated as of October 13, 2017 (each a "SPA" collectively the “SPAs”), which were subject to due diligence and completion of definitive documents. The base purchase prices under the SPAs for those Resource Plus equity interests were $3,000,000 for Mr. Paulk and $150,000 for Mr. Justus, subject to adjustment and potential bonuses as provided in their respective SPAs. At the closing on January 9, 2018, Mr. Paulk received the base purchase price in $400,000 cash and a Promissory Note for $2,600,000; and Mr. Justus received the base purchase price in $50,000 cash and a Promissory Note for $100,000. Those notes were issued by SMF, guaranteed by SGRP pursuant to separate Guaranties, and secured by SMF pursuant to separate Securities Pledge and Escrow Agreements to the sellers of the respective acquired equity interests, with each of those documents dated and effective as of January 1, 2018. Mr. Paulk's note is repayable in installments of $300,000, plus applicable interest, per year on December 31 of each year (commencing in 2018), with the balance due on December 31, 2023; and Mr. Justus's note on December 31 of each such year (commencing in 2018) is repayable in installments of $33,333 per year, plus applicable interest, on December 31 of each year, with the balance of $33,334 due on December 31, 2020.

 

The following unaudited pro forma financial information of SGRP reflects the pro forma impact of the acquisition of RPI. The historical unaudited balance sheet of SGRP is combined with the unaudited balance sheet of RPI. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet assumes the Acquisition took place as of September 30, 2017.

 

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined statement of operations for the twelve months ended December 31, 2016 and for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 are based upon the audited historical financial results of both SGRP and RPI for the twelve months ended December 31, 2016 and the unaudited financial results of SGRP and RPI for the nine months ended September 30, 2017. Pro forma adjustments to the unaudited condensed combined statements of operations have been made to adjust the respective financial results assuming the Acquisition occurred on January 1, 2016.

 

The unaudited condensed combined financial information does not include the results of Mobex or Leasex as these entities were not considered significant.

 

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information is provided for illustrative purposes only in accordance with the rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), including Article 11 of Regulation S-X under the Securities Act and is not necessarily indicative of the financial results that would have occurred if the Acquisition had been consummated on the dates indicated. In addition, the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information does not purport to project the future operating results of SGRP. SGRP will be evaluating potential synergistic opportunities within the operations of SGRP and RPI. No effect has been given in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information for the cost of any integration activities. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information was prepared using the acquisition method of accounting as required by the accounting guidance for business combinations. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information has been adjusted to give effect to pro forma events that are (1) directly attributable to the Acquisition (2) factually supportable and (3) with respect to the statement of operations expected to have a continuing impact on the consolidated financial results. The pro forma adjustments, described in the accompanying notes, are based upon available information and certain assumptions that are believed to be reasonable as of the date of this document.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT

 

 

The Board of Directors

Resource Plus of North Florida, Inc.:

 

We have audited the accompanying financial statements of Resource Plus of North Florida, Inc. (the “Company”), which comprise the balance sheets as of December 31, 2016 and 2015, and the related statements of income and comprehensive income, changes in stockholders’ equity, and cash flows for the years then ended, and the related notes to the financial statements.

 

Management’s Responsibility for the Financial Statements

 

Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America; this includes the design, implementation, and maintenance of internal control relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

 

Auditor’s Responsibility

 

Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free from material misstatement.

 

An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditor’s judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the entity’s preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity’s internal control.

 

Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of significant accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements.

 

We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Opinion

 

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Resource Plus of North Florida, Inc. as of December 31, 2016 and 2015 and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years then ended in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Notes to Financial Statements

December 31, 2016 and 2015

 

 

Note A – Organization and Description of Business

 

Resource Plus of North Florida, Inc. (the “Company”) is an S Corporation that was incorporated in February 2000 to provide outsourced staffing services to lawn & garden departments located within home improvement retail outlets in addition to providing in-store general merchandising and remodeling in retail locations located throughout the United States of America, Canada, and Mexico. The Company is located in Jacksonville, Florida and Mooresville, North Carolina.

 

Note B – Significant Accounting Policies

 

The financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

 

Recently Issued Accounting Standards

 

In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. The effective date for this Standard for nonpublic entities is annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018, with early adoption permitted for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016. ASU 2014-09 outlines a new, single comprehensive model for entities to use in accounting for revenue arising from contracts with customers and supersedes most current revenue recognition guidance, including industry-specific guidance. This new revenue recognition model provides a five-step analysis in determining when and how revenue is recognized. The new model will require revenue recognition to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration an organization expects to receive in exchange for those goods or services. The Association is currently assessing the impact that adopting this new accounting guidance will have on its financial statements and footnote disclosures.

 

On August 27, 2014, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2014-15, Disclosure of Uncertainties about an Entity’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern, which requires management to assess an entity’s ability to continue as a going concern and to provide related footnote disclosures in certain circumstances. Before this new standard, there was minimal guidance in U.S. GAAP specific to going concern. Under the new standard, disclosures are required when conditions give rise to substantial doubt about an entity’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year from the financial statement issuance date. The new standard applies to all associations and is effective for the annual period ending after December 15, 2016, and all annual and interim periods thereafter.

 

In February 2016, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update, Leases (Topic 842), intended to improve financial reporting about leasing transactions. The ASU affects all companies and other organizations that lease assets such as real estate, airplanes, and manufacturing equipment. Under the new guidance, a lessee will be required to recognize assets and liabilities for leases with lease terms of more than 12 months. Consistent with current Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP), the recognition, measurement, and presentation of expenses and cash flows arising from a lease by a lessee primarily will depend on its classification as a finance or operating lease. However, unlike current GAAP—which requires only capital leases to be recognized on the balance sheet—the new ASU will require both types of leases to be recognized on the balance sheet. The ASU on leases will take effect for all non-public companies for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019.

Notes to Financial Statements

December 31, 2016 and 2015

 

 

Note B – Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

 

Cash and Cash Equivalents

 

For purposes of reporting cash flows, the Company considers all monies deposited with financial institutions in checking and money market accounts and certificates of deposit with maturities of six months or less to be cash and cash equivalents. The Company maintains accounts with federally insured financial institutions that may at time exceed insured limits. The Company has not experienced any losses from such concentrations.

 

Accounts Receivable

 

The Company bills customers on a monthly basis and is usually paid within the following month. Therefore, the Company generally does not require collateral. Historically, credit losses have not been significant. The Company has the intent and the ability to hold accounts receivable until payoff. As a result, accounts receivable are reported at the outstanding principal balances adjusted for write-offs. The Company’s policy for determining past due or delinquency status is based on how recently payments have been received on outstanding balances.

 

Reclassification

 

Certain reclassifications of prior year amounts have been made to conform to the current year presentation.

 

Marketable Securities

 

Marketable securities consist of securities considered available-for-sale, thus are carried at fair market value, with the unrealized gains and losses included in the determination of other comprehensive income and reported in stockholders' equity. Gains or losses on securities sold are determined on the specific identification, trade date basis and are included in earnings.

 

Furniture and Equipment

 

Furniture and equipment are recorded at cost. Depreciation is calculated by the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets, ranging generally from 3 to 7 years.

 

Expenditures for major renewals and betterments that extend the useful lives of furniture and equipment are capitalized. Expenditures for maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred. The Company has adopted a policy stating that expenditures below $5,000 are expensed as incurred. When assets are retired or otherwise disposed of, the cost and related accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts and any resulting gain or loss is reflected in income for the period.

 

Revenue Recognition

 

Revenue is generally recorded when services are completed.

 

Income Taxes

 

The Company has elected to be taxed as an S corporation and is therefore not required to pay or provide for any U.S. or Florida income taxes arising from the results of operations. The results of the Company’s operations are passed through to the Company’s stockholders for tax purposes. Accordingly, no provision has been made for income taxes in the accompanying financial statements.

Notes to Financial Statements

December 31, 2016 and 2015

 

 

Note B – Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

 

As of December 31, 2016 and 2015, the Company has no uncertain tax positions that qualify for either recognition or disclosure in the financial statements. The Company did not have accrued interest or penalties associated with any uncertain tax benefits, nor was any interest expense recognized during the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015.

 

The Company’s 2014 through 2016 tax years are open for examination by federal and state taxing authorities.

 

Advertising Costs

 

Advertising costs are charged to operations when incurred and amounted to $45 and $6,865 for the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively.

 

Fair Value

 

The Company categorizes its assets and liabilities measured at fair value into a three-level hierarchy based on the priority of the inputs to the valuation technique used to determine fair value. The fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority to quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3). If the inputs used in the determination of the fair value measurement fall within different levels of the hierarchy, the categorization is based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement.

 

Assets and liabilities valued at fair value are categorized based on the inputs to the valuation techniques as follows:

 

 

Level 1 – Inputs that utilize quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that an entity has the ability to access.

 

 

Level 2 – Inputs that include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets and inputs that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the financial instrument. Fair values for these instruments are estimated using pricing models, quoted prices or securities with similar characteristics, or discounted cash flows.

 

 

Level 3 – Inputs that are unobservable inputs for the asset or liability, which are typically based on an entity’s own assumptions, as there is little, if any, related market activity.

 

Subsequent to initial recognition, the Company may remeasure the carrying value of assets and liabilities measured on a nonrecurring basis to fair value. Adjustments for the initial and subsequent usually result when certain assets are impaired. Such assets are written down from their carrying amounts to their fair value.

 

Professional standards allow entities the irrevocable option to elect to measure certain financial instruments and other items at fair value for the initial and subsequent measurement on an instrument-by-instrument basis. The Company adopted the policy to value certain financial instruments at fair value, however, it may elect to measure newly acquired financial instruments at fair value in the future.

Note B – Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

 

Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

 

Concentrations

 

Financial instruments, which potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk, consist principally of cash and trade receivables. The Company frequently has deposits with a bank in excess of the federally insured limit of $250,000 for the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively. The Company deposits its cash with what it believes to be high credit quality financial institutions and do not anticipate this to be a significant risk.

 

As of December 31, 2016 and 2015, approximately 91 and 90% of the accounts receivable, respectively, is due from three and two customers. During the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015, two customers accounted for approximately 91% and 88% of the Company’s revenue.

 

Note C – Line of Credit

 

The Company has available a $3,500,000 line of credit with a bank. The line of credit is collateralized by accounts receivable, furniture and equipment, and a first mortgage and assignment of rents on the Company’s Jacksonville location, bearing interest at the Prime Rate, and is due on demand. R.J Holdings of Jacksonville, Inc., Mobex of North Florida, Inc., and Leasex, LLC, related parties of the Company, are guarantors of the line of credit. The Company has passed or obtained waivers for all loan covenants as of December 31, 2016.

Note A – Organization and Description of Business

 

Resource Plus of North Florida, Inc. (the “Company”) is an S Corporation that was incorporated in February 2000 to provide outsourced staffing services to lawn & garden departments located within home improvement retail outlets in addition to providing in-store general merchandising and remodeling in retail locations located throughout the United States of America, Canada, and Mexico. The Company is located in Jacksonville, Florida and Mooresville, North Carolina.

 

 

Note B – Significant Accounting Policies

 

The financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

 

 

Recently Issued Accounting Standards

 

In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. The effective date for this Standard for nonpublic entities is annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018, with early adoption permitted for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016. ASU 2014-09 outlines a new, single comprehensive model for entities to use in accounting for revenue arising from contracts with customers and supersedes most current revenue recognition guidance, including industry-specific guidance. This new revenue recognition model provides a five-step analysis in determining when and how revenue is recognized. The new model will require revenue recognition to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration an organization expects to receive in exchange for those goods or services. The Association is currently assessing the impact that adopting this new accounting guidance will have on its financial statements and footnote disclosures.

 

In February 2016, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update, Leases (Topic 842), intended to improve financial reporting about leasing transactions. The ASU affects all companies and other organizations that lease assets such as real estate, airplanes, and manufacturing equipment. Under the new guidance, a lessee will be required to recognize assets and liabilities for leases with lease terms of more than 12 months. Consistent with current Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP), the recognition, measurement, and presentation of expenses and cash flows arising from a lease by a lessee primarily will depend on its classification as a finance or operating lease. However, unlike current GAAP—which requires only capital leases to be recognized on the balance sheet—the new ASU will require both types of leases to be recognized on the balance sheet. The ASU on leases will take effect for all non-public companies for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019.

 

 

Cash and Cash Equivalents

 

For purposes of reporting cash flows, the Company considers all monies deposited with financial institutions in checking and money market accounts and certificates of deposit with maturities of six months or less to be cash and cash equivalents. The Company maintains accounts with federally insured financial institutions that may at time exceed insured limits. The Company has not experienced any losses from such concentrations.

 

Accounts Receivable

 

The Company bills customers on a monthly basis and is usually paid within the following month. Therefore, the Company generally does not require collateral. Historically, credit losses have not been significant. The Company has the intent and the ability to hold accounts receivable until payoff. As a result, accounts receivable are reported at the outstanding principal balances adjusted for write-offs. The Company’s policy for determining past due or delinquency status is based on how recently payments have been received on outstanding balances.

 

 

 

 

Note B – Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

 

Marketable Securities

 

Marketable securities consist of securities considered available-for-sale, thus are carried at fair market value, with the unrealized gains and losses included in the determination of other comprehensive income and reported in stockholders' equity. Gains or losses on securities sold are determined on the specific identification, trade date basis and are included in earnings.

 

 

Furniture and Equipment

 

Furniture and equipment are recorded at cost. Depreciation is calculated by the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets, ranging generally from 3 to 7 years.

 

Expenditures for major renewals and betterments that extend the useful lives of furniture and equipment are capitalized. Expenditures for maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred. The Company has adopted a policy stating that expenditures below $5,000 are expensed as incurred. When assets are retired or otherwise disposed of, the cost and related accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts and any resulting gain or loss is reflected in income for the period.

 

Revenue Recognition

 

Revenue is generally recorded when services are completed.

 

 

Income Taxes

 

The Company has elected to be taxed as an S corporation and is therefore not required to pay or provide for any U.S. or Florida income taxes arising from the results of operations. The results of the Company’s operations are passed through to the Company’s stockholders for tax purposes. Accordingly, no provision has been made for income taxes in the accompanying financial statements.

 

As of September 30, 2017 and 2016, the Company has no uncertain tax positions that qualify for either recognition or disclosure in the financial statements. The Company did not have accrued interest or penalties associated with any uncertain tax benefits, nor were any interest expense recognized during the years ended September 30, 2017 and 2016.

 

The Company’s 2015 through 2017 tax years are open for examination by federal and state taxing authorities.

 

 

Advertising Costs

 

Advertising costs are charged to operations when incurred and amounted to $75 and $45 for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively.

 

 

 

 

Note B – Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

 

Fair Value

 

The Company categorizes its assets and liabilities measured at fair value into a three-level hierarchy based on the priority of the inputs to the valuation technique used to determine fair value. The fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority to quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3). If the inputs used in the determination of the fair value measurement fall within different levels of the hierarchy, the categorization is based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement.

 

Assets and liabilities valued at fair value are categorized based on the inputs to the valuation techniques as follows:

 

 

Level 1 – Inputs that utilize quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that an entity has the ability to access.

 

 

Level 2 – Inputs that include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets and inputs that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the financial instrument. Fair values for these instruments are estimated using pricing models, quoted prices or securities with similar characteristics, or discounted cash flows.

 

 

Level 3 – Inputs that are unobservable inputs for the asset or liability, which are typically based on an entity’s own assumptions, as there is little, if any, related market activity.

 

Subsequent to initial recognition, the Company may remeasure the carrying value of assets and liabilities measured on a nonrecurring basis to fair value. Adjustments for the initial and subsequent usually result when certain assets are impaired. Such assets are written down from their carrying amounts to their fair value.

 

Professional standards allow entities the irrevocable option to elect to measure certain financial instruments and other items at fair value for the initial and subsequent measurement on an instrument-by-instrument basis. The Company adopted the policy to value certain financial instruments at fair value, however, it may elect to measure newly acquired financial instruments at fair value in the future.

 

 

Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

 

 

Concentrations

 

Financial instruments, which potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk, consist principally of cash and trade receivables. The Company frequently has deposits with a bank in excess of the federally insured limit of $250,000. The Company deposits its cash with what it believes to be high credit quality financial institutions and do not anticipate this to be a significant risk.

 

 

 

 

Note B – Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

 

As of September 30, 2017 and 2016, approximately 72% and 93% of the accounts receivable, respectively, is due from three customers and four customers. During the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, three and two customers accounted for approximately 85% and 91% of the Company’s revenue.

 

Note C – Line of Credit

 

The Company has available a $3,500,000 line of credit with a bank. The line of credit is collateralized by accounts receivable, furniture and equipment, and a first mortgage and assignment of rents on the Company’s Jacksonville location, bearing interest at the Prime Rate, and is due on demand. R.J Holdings of Jacksonville, Inc., Mobex of North Florida, Inc., and Leasex, LLC, related parties of the Company, are guarantors of the line of credit. The Company has passed or obtained waivers for all loan covenants as of September 30, 2017. The Company had an outstanding balance on the line of credit as of September 30, 2017 and 2016 of $965,000 and $1,465,000, respectfully. As of September 30, 2017 the Company had approximately $2,535,000 available credit for use in operations.

DESCRIPTION OF THE TRANSACTION

 

On January 9, 2018, SPAR Group, Inc. ("SGRP" or the "Registrant"), and its subsidiaries (together with SGRP, "we", "our" or the "Company"), completed the acquisition of a 51% equity interest (the "Acquisition") in Resource Plus, Inc. ("RPI"), a supplier of professional fixture installation and product merchandising services; and a 51% equity interest in both of its sister companies, Mobex of North Florida, Inc. ("Mobex "), a proprietary retail fixture mobilization system manufacturer, and Leasex, LLC ("Leasex "), a company formed to lease Mobex's proprietary equipment. RPI owns a 70% interest in BDA Resource, LLC, a Florida limited liability company ("BDA"), and RPI, Leasex, Mobex and BDA may be referred to individually and collectively as "Resource Plus".

 

SGRP's subsidiary, SPAR Marketing Force, Inc. ("SMF"), purchased those equity interests in Resource Plus from Joseph L. Paulk and Richard Justus pursuant to separate Stock Purchase Agreements each dated as of October 13, 2017 (each a "SPA" collectively the “SPAs”), which were subject to due diligence and completion of definitive documents. The base purchase prices under the SPAs for those Resource Plus equity interests were $3,000 for Mr. Paulk and $150 for Mr. Justus, subject to adjustment and potential bonuses as provided in their respective SPAs. At the closing on January 9, 2018, Mr. Paulk received the base purchase price in $400 cash and a Promissory Note for $2,600; and Mr. Justus received the base purchase price in $50 cash and a Promissory Note for $100. The Acquisition was to close prior to January 8, 2018 and since it did not there was an additional $6 cash consideration to Mssr. Paulk and Justus as interest. SGRP, as part of the Acquisition, assumed the outstanding balance of $865 of the line of credit RSI had with a bank. This line of credit is collateralized by accounts receivable, furniture and equipment and bears interest at the Prime Lending Rate. The total available line of credit is $3,500.

 

 

2.

BASIS OF PRESENTATION

 

The unaudited pro forma combined financial information of SGRP reflects the pro forma impact of the Acquisition. The pro forma condensed combined financial information is prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

 

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet assumes the Acquisition took place as of September 30, 2017. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined statements of operations assume the Acquisition was consummated on January 1, 2016. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements should be read in conjunction with SGRP’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016, as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on April 17, 2017 (the “2016 Annual Report”) and SGRP’s Quarterly Reports on Form 10Q for the quarters ended March 31, 2017, June 30, 2017 and September 30, 2017 as filed with the SEC on May 22, 2017, August 14, 2017 and November 14, 2017, respectively. RPI’s historical financial statements and related notes are included as Exhibits 99.1 and 99.2 to this Current Report on Form 8K/A.

 

SGRP’s and RPI’s most recent fiscal year ends were December 31, 2016. SGRP’s most recent unaudited financial statements were prepared as of September 30, 2017. RPI’s most recent financial statements were prepared as of September 30, 2017. Management of SGRP believes this presentation provides a fair representation of the results for the twelve months ended December 31, 2016 and the nine months ended September 30, 2017.

 

 

 

 

The unaudited condensed combined financial information does not include the results of Mobex or Leasex as the entities were not considered significant.

 

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information is provided for illustrative purposes only and is not necessarily indicative of the financial results that would have occurred if the Acquisition had been consummated on the date indicated. In addition, the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information does not purport to project the future operating results of SGRP. SGRP will be evaluating potential synergistic opportunities within the operations of SGRP and RPI. No effect has been given in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information for the cost of any integration activities. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information was prepared using the acquisition method of accounting as required by the accounting guidance for business combinations. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information has been adjusted to give effect to pro forma events that are (1) directly attributable to the Acquisition (2) factually supportable and (3) with respect to the statement of operations expected to have a continuing impact on the consolidated financial results. The purchase price for SGRP’s acquisition of RPI’s tangible and intangible assets and the assumption of certain liabilities is based on preliminary estimates of fair values at the acquisition date. SGRP believes the preliminary fair values assigned to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed are based on reasonable assumptions, however, fair value estimates are preliminary and may change as additional information becomes available and SGRP’s fair value estimates are finalized. The pro forma adjustments, to be described in the accompanying notes, are based upon available information and certain assumptions that are believed to be reasonable as of the date of this document.

Cash of $456 was paid by SGRP and a deferred purchase note was executed for $2,700. For this consideration intangible assets of $2,220 were purchased, along with $942 of goodwill. Cash and cash equivalents of $1,403 were acquired, along with accounts receivable of $3,099 and accounts payable of $535. Net fixed assets of $210 were also acquired in the transaction. Marketable securities of $25 were acquired, along with $98 in prepaid assets. RPI had $2 in employee receivables which were not acquired. Other assets of $12 were also purchased. Accrued expenses of $248 were assumed at the Acquisition date. Notes payable to related parties of $977 and long term debt of $170 ($131 current portion and $39 long term) were not assumed by SGRP as part of the Acquisition. (21) in accumulated other comprehensive loss was eliminated as well as retained earnings, of $2,332. RPI had a line of credit balance of $865 which remains on RPI’s balance sheet. The non-controlling interest not acquired of $3,205 increased Non-controlling interest within the pro forma balance sheet.
     
  B To remove purchases made by SGRP of RPI for services performed from sales and cost of sales for the combined companies. SGRP purchased $146 in services during the nine month period ended September 30, 2017 at an estimated cost to RPI of $107. There were approximately $100 of acquisition costs incurred by SGRP, and $50 by RPI for the nine months ended September 30, 2017.
