REVOLUTION TRANSACTION

14. REVOLUTION TRANSACTION

On December 3, 2022, Flex Revolution, LLC, a wholly-owned subsidiary of FlexShopper, Inc. (the “Buyer”) closed a transaction (“Revolution Transaction”) pursuant to an Asset Purchase Agreement with Revolution Financial, Inc., a provider of consumer loans and credit products (collectively with certain of its subsidiaries, “Revolution”), under which the Company acquired the material net assets of the Revolution business.

In consideration for the sale of the Revolution net assets, the Company issued an adjustable promissory note (“Seller Note”) with an initial principal amount of $5,000,000. The Seller Note matures on December 1, 2027, bears interest at 8% per annum and is subject to adjustment based upon the pre-tax net income of the acquired business in 2023. The fair value of the Seller Note as of the acquisition date was $3,421,991. The Seller Note, net of the discount, was $3,133,617 as of June 30, 2023 and $3,158,471 as of December 31, 2022. The Seller Note is included in the condensed consolidated balance sheets in the line Promissory note related to acquisition.

The Revolution Transaction includes the Buyer’s assumption of Revolution’s consumer loan portfolio, related cash and its credit facility (“Revolution Credit Facility”) as this facility is backed by the portfolio acquired. As of December 31, 2022, the Revolution Credit Agreement was not legally transferred to FlexShopper, so this liability was included in the condensed consolidated balance sheets on the line Purchase consideration payable related to acquisition as the Company was obligated for the outstanding balance as December 31, 2022. On June 7, 2023, the Revolution Credit Facility was legally transferred to FlexShopper (See Note 15)

The parties to the Asset Purchase Agreement have each made customary representations and warranties in the Asset Purchase Agreement and have agreed to indemnify each other for breaches of such representations and warranties. The Buyer’s primary recourse in the event of a claim is to offset the Seller Note equal to the indemnifiable losses subject to such claim.

The Revolution Transaction has been accounted for as a business combination in accordance with ASC 805, Business Combination. The Company measured the net assets acquired in Revolution Transaction at fair value on the acquisition date.

The fair value of the intangible assets was determined primarily by using discounted cash flow models. The models use inputs including estimated cash flows and a discount rate.

The Company recorded a bargain purchase gain of $14,461,274 related to the Revolution Transaction at acquisition date as the fair value of the net assets acquired exceed the fair value of the purchase price consideration. The Company believes that the most significant reason its management was able to negotiate a bargain purchase was due to the speed with which the seller wanted to close this transaction which resulted in a non-competitive process akin to a forced sale. The strong desire for a prior to year-end closing was for various reasons, including potential credit facility covenant issues and accelerating operating losses after recent regulatory changes.
