Report on the Financial Statements

We have audited the accompanying consolidated financial statements of Rome Holdings, LLC and Subsidiary (the Company), which comprise the consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2020, the related consolidated statement of income, members’ equity and cash flows for the year then ended, and the related notes to the consolidated financial statements (collectively, 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 audit. We conducted our audit 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 Rome Holdings, LLC and Subsidiary as of December 31, 2020, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for the year then ended in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Emphasis of Matter

As discussed in Note 15 to the financial statements, the 2020 financial statements have been restated as a result of the Company’s reversal of accounting guidance under Accounting Standards Update No. 2014-02, Intangibles—Goodwill and Other; Accounting for Goodwill. Our opinion is not modified with respect to this matter.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

 

Note 1.
Nature of Business and Summary of Accounting Policies

Nature of business: Rome Holdings, LLC (Holdings) and its wholly owned subsidiary, Recycling and Waste Solutions, LLC (RWS) (collectively, the Company), were organized pursuant to Delaware Limited Liability Company laws and commenced operations on August 31, 2017. The consolidated financial statements include the accountings of Holdings and RWS. RWS is a full-service management company for recycling, waste and sustainability solutions. RWS is headquartered in Chadds Ford, Pennsylvania, and serves customers in the United States. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in the consolidated financial statements.

 

A summary of the Company’s significant accounting policies is as follows:

 

Use of estimates: The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (U.S. GAAP) 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 consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from these estimates.

 

Cash: Cash includes bank demand deposit accounts. The Company maintains its cash in bank deposit accounts at financial institutions whose deposits are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) up to $250,000 per depositor. The Company may have balances above this limit at various times during the year ending December 31, 2020. The Company has not experienced any losses in such accounts and believes it is not exposed to any significant credit risk on cash.

 

Accounts receivables: Accounts receivables are carried at original invoice amount less an estimate made for doubtful receivables based on a review of all outstanding amounts on a quarterly basis. Management determines the allowance for doubtful accounts by regularly evaluating individual customer receivables and considering a customer’s financial condition and credit history, as well as current general economic conditions. Trade receivables are written off when deemed uncollectible. Recoveries of trade receivables previously written off are recorded when received. Generally, a trade receivable is considered to be past due if any portion of the receivable balance is outstanding for more than 30 days. Interest is not charged on past due receivables. At December 31, 2020, the allowance for doubtful accounts was $4,261,461.

 

Equipment and Leasehold Improvements: Equipment and leasehold improvements acquired through acquisition are recorded at fair value at the date of the acquisition. Additions are recorded at cost. Depreciation is provided using primarily the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the related assets, principally three to five years, and the lesser of of the estimated useful live and the remaining lease term for leasehold improvements.

 

Goodwill: Goodwill reflects the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of identifiable net assets acquired in purchase transactions. The Company does not amortize goodwill, but tests it at least annually for recoverability. No impairments have occurred to date.

 

Intangibles: Intangible assets consist of customer contracts, trademarks, customer relationships and developed technology. Intangible assets are amortized over their estimated lives using the straight-line method.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

 

Note 1. Nature of Business and Summary of Accounting Policies (Continued)

Impairment of long-lived assets: The Company reviews long-lived assets, which include definite-lived intangible assets and equipment, for impairment whenever events or changes in business circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the assets may not be fully recoverable. Recoverability of assets is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset to estimated undiscounted future cash flows expected to be generated by the asset. If the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its estimated future cash flows, then an impairment charge is recognized for the amount by which the carrying value of the asset exceeds the fair value of the asset. The Company has not identified any impairments to date.

 

Revenue recognition: The Company recognizes revenue in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, which provides a five-step model for recognizing revenue from contracts with customers as follows:

 

Identify the contract with a customer
Identify the performance obligations in the contract
Determine the transaction price
Allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract
Recognize revenue when or as performance obligations are satisfied

 

As the initial adoption of the standard did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial condition or results of operations, no cumulative effect was recognized at the date of initial application. The Company also had no significant changes to systems, processes or controls.

 

A large portion of the Company’s revenue is generated by providing waste and disposal services to our customers. The Company’s services are marketed and sold primarily to end-user commercial customers in the United States. Sales of services are subject to economic conditions and may fluctuate based on changes in the industry, trade policies and financial markets.

 

The Company’s service arrangements are generally invoiced based on the contractual agreement between the parties, typically on a bi-weekly, monthly or milestone-driven basis, with 30 to 120 day terms. In these contracts, the Company’s right to consideration from the customer directly corresponds to the value received by the customer from the entity’s performance completed to date. The Company assesses the contract term as the period in which the parties to the contract have presently enforceable rights and obligations. Customer contracts generally are standardized and non-cancellable for the duration of the stated contract term.

 

The Company earns revenue when waste and disposal services coordinated with haulers and the services have been provided. The Company also provides commodity recycling services whereby revenue is recognized when scrap and other materials are sold to recycling facilities. The Company commences revenue recognition when all of the following conditions are satisfied: there is a fully executed agreement, the service is provided to the customer, the collection of fees is reasonably assured, and the amount of fees to be paid by the customer is fixed or determinable. All services provided by the Company are recognized at a point in time.

 

The transaction price is the amount of consideration to which the Company expects to be entitled in exchange for transferring services to the customer. Revenue is recorded based on the transaction price.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

 

Note 1. Nature of Business and Summary of Accounting Policies (Continued)

The Company’s contracts with customers may include service level agreements that entitle the customer to receive service credits, and in certain cases, service refunds, when defined service levels are not met. These arrangements represent a form of variable consideration, which is considered in the calculation of the transaction price. The Company estimates the amount of variable consideration at the expected value based on its assessment of legal enforceability, anticipated performance and a review of specific transactions, historical experience and market and economic conditions. The Company historically has not experienced any significant incidents affecting the defined levels of reliability and performance as required by the contracts.

 

Variable consideration also may include expense reimbursements. Reimbursements that are billable to clients in a fixed-fee arrangement are included in the estimation of the total transaction price. In time-and-material billing arrangements, the Company recognizes all reimbursable expenses as revenue as the related services are provided, using the right-to-invoice practical expedient. Reimbursable expenses are recognized as expenses in the period in which the expense is incurred.

 

The Company has elected the practical expedient that permits an entity not to recognize a significant financing component if the time between the transfer of a good or service and payment is one year or less. Contract incentive payments and commissions paid to internal sales personnel, as well as associated payroll taxes that are incremental to the acquisition of customer contracts are capitalized as deferred contract costs on the balance sheet when the period of benefit is determined to be greater than one year, The Company has elected to apply the practical expedient to expense sales commissions and associated costs as incurred when the expected amortization period is one year or less. The Company determines the period of benefit for contract incentives, sales commissions, and associated costs for the acquisition of the initial contract by taking into consideration the initial estimated customer life. Amortization is recognized on a straight-line basis commensurate with the pattern of revenue recognition.

 

The Company periodically reviews these deferred costs to determine whether events or changes in circumstance have occurred that could affect the period of benefit of the these deferred contract acquisition costs. There were no impairment recorded during the year ended December 31, 2020.

 

Income taxes: As a limited liability company, the Company is treated as a partnership for federal and state income tax purposes. Accordingly, no provision for federal income tax is included in the accompanying consolidated financial statements as federal income taxes, if any, are payable by the members. The Company intends to make distributions in amounts that allow the members to pay their income taxes arising from taxable income of the Company.

 

U.S. GAAP requires management to evaluate tax positions taken by the Company and recognize a tax liability if the Company has taken an uncertain position that more likely than not would not be sustained upon examination by taxing authorities. Management evaluated the Company’s tax positions and concluded that the Company had taken no uncertain tax positions that require adjustment to the consolidated financial statements to comply with the provisions of this guidance.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

 

Note 1. Nature of Business and Summary of Accounting Policies (Continued)

Recently issued accounting guidance: In February 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Updated (ASU) 2016-02, Leases. ASU 2016-02 (as amended) was issued in three parts: Section A, Leases: Amendments to the FASB Accounting Standards Codification, Section B, Conforming Amendments Related to Leases: Amendments to the FASB Accounting Standards Codification, and Section C, Background Information and Basis for Conclusions. Under the new standard, the lessee will be required to recognize assets and liabilities for leases with lease terms of more than 12 months. The updated standard will be effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2021. The Company is currently evaluating the effect that the updated standard will have on its consolidated financial statements.

 

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments—Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments, which creates a new credit impairment standard for financial assets measured at amortized cost and available-for-sale debt securities. The ASU requires financial assets measured at amortized cost (including loans, trade receivables and held-to-maturity debt securities) to be presented at the net amount expected to be collected, through an allowance for credit losses that are expected to occur over the remaining life of the asset, rather than incurred losses. The ASU requires that credit losses on available-for-sale debt securities be presented as an allowance rather than as a direct write-down. The measurement of credit losses for newly recognized financial assets (other than certain purchased assets) and subsequent changes in the allowance for credit losses are recorded in the statement of income as the amounts expected to be collected change. The ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting this new guidance on its consolidated financial statements.

Upon collection, UCF trade accounts receivable not sold to UCF remain in the Company’s custody and control and the Company maintains all credit risk on those accounts. On August 31, 2019, the Agreement was extended for an additional two-year term through August 2021.

 

In connection with the Agreement, customers also make payments on non-purchased outstanding accounts receivable directly to UCF. Cash received by UCF for non-purchased customer invoices are held solely for the benefit of the Company.

Note 8.
Unit-Based Compensation

The Company granted five restricted common compensatory units to one employee on August 31, 2017 (Grant Date). The units vest in equal increments, with 20% vested on the first anniversary of the Grant Date, and an additional 20% annually until the fifth anniversary of the Grant Date. The Company can repurchase the vested units, at the lower of cost ($0 for units granted as incentive equity) or fair value, whenever an employee or employer terminates employment, except if the termination is without cause. The units, which vest through 2022, were determined to have a Grant Date fair value of $138,000. The fair value of the units was determined to be de minimis, and therefore no compensation expense has been recognized.

 

Note 9.
Major Customers

The Company’s major customers consist of large retailers, manufacturers and restaurant chains located in the United States. For the year ended December 31, 2020, the Company had two customers that accounted for 21% of the total revenue. Accounts receivable from these customers approximated 19% of accounts receivable at December 31, 2020.

 

Note 10.
Employee Benefits

The Company and its employees participate in a defined contribution retirement plan. The plan is a contributory plan in which all employees who have reached the age of 21 may participate.
