Explanatory Note

 

This Amendment No. 1 to Current Report on Form 8-K/A is being filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) solely to amend and supplement Item 9.01 of the Current Report on Form 8-K (the “Original 8-K”) filed by Andover National Corporation (the “Company”) on March 4, 2020, reporting under Item 2.01 the completion of the acquisition by Smith’s Tree Care, LLC (“Buyer”), a Delaware limited liability company and an indirect subsidiary of the Company, pursuant to an Asset and Equity Purchase and Contribution Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) dated as of February 28, 2020, of (i) an undivided sixty percent (60%) interest in all of Smith’s Tree Care, Inc.’s, a Virginia corporation (“Seller”), right, title and interest in and to all of Seller’s property and assets (the “Acquired Assets”), in consideration for an aggregate purchase price payable by Buyer of approximately $3.0 million, subject to certain adjustments, as set forth in the Purchase Agreement and (ii) Seller conveyed, transferred, assigned and delivered to ANC Green Solutions - Smith’s, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and indirect subsidiary of the Company (“ANC Smith’s”), an undivided forty percent (40%) interest in the Acquired Assets in exchange for equity securities of ANC Smith’s. Under Item 9.01 of the Original 8-K, the Company stated that (a) the historical financial statements of the Seller required by Item 9.01(a) of Form 8-K would be filed as an amendment to the Original 8-K not later than 71 days after the date the Original 8-K was required to be filed, and (b) as permitted by Item 9.01(b)(2) of Form 8-K, the Company would file the pro forma financial information required by Item 9.01(b) of Form 8-K as an amendment to the Original 8-K not later than 71 days after the date the Original 8-K was required to be filed.

 

Due to the outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (“COVID-19”), on April 29, 2020, the Company filed a Current Report on Form 8-K to avail itself of an extension to file this Amendment to Current Report on Form 8-K, originally due on May 15, 2020, relying on an order issued by the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 25, 2020 pursuant to Section 36 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (Release No. 34-88465) (the “Order”) regarding exemptions granted to certain public companies. The COVID-19 pandemic has caused severe disruptions across the United States which prevented the Company and its audit firm from traveling to the Seller’s business to complete the work necessary to complete the required audit thus preventing the Company from timely filing the required Item 9.01 financial statements to the Amendment. As such, the Company is therefore relying on the Order in connection with the filing of this Amendment to Current Report on Form 8-K. 

 

Item 9.01 Financial Statements and Exhibits

The audited consolidated balance sheets of the Seller as of December 31, 2019 and 2018, the related audited consolidated statements of operations, changes in shareholders’ equity, and cash flows of the Seller for the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, the notes related thereto and the Independent Auditor's Report, are attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 and incorporated herein by reference.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

 

 

To the Shareholders and Board of Directors of

Smith’s Tree Care, Inc.

Miami, Florida

 

Opinion on the Financial Statements

 

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Smith’s Tree Care and its subsidiaries (collectively, the “Company”) as of December 31, 2019 and 2018, and the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders’ equity, and cash flows for the years then ended, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the “financial statements”). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2019 and 2018, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

 

Basis for Opinion

 

These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) ("PCAOB") and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

 

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB and 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 of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company's internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.

 

Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Smith’s Tree Care, Inc.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

For the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018

 

Note 1 – Nature of the Business

 

Smith’s Tree Care, Inc., a Delaware corporation, (the “Company”) offers tree service, tree removal, tree care, stump grinding, and other tree care services. The Company handles various projects including land clearing for commercial and residential development.

 

D. Smith Properties, LLC, a Virginia limited liability company, holds certain real estate that is used for the normal operations of Smith’s Tree Care.

 

Utro Crane Company, Inc., a Virginia corporation, is the legal title holder for certain equipment used in the normal operations of Smith’s Tree Care.

 

Note 2 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

 

Use of Estimates

 

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

 

Management makes estimates that affect certain accounts including deferred income tax assets, accrued expenses, fair value of equity instruments and reserves for any other commitments or contingencies. Any adjustments applied to estimates are recognized in the period in which such adjustments are determined.

 

Principles of Consolidation

 

The Company’s consolidated financial statements include all accounts of the Company and its consolidated subsidiary and/or entities as of reporting period ending date(s) and for the reporting period(s) then ended. All inter-company balances and transactions have been eliminated.

 

Basis of Presentation

 

These consolidated financial statements have been prepared by the Company in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) and include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries which are directly or indirectly owned by the Company.

 

Cash and Cash Equivalents

 

The Company considers all cash on hand and in banks, including accounts in book overdraft positions, certificates of deposit and other highly liquid investments with maturities of one year or less, when purchased, to be cash. As of December 31, 2019 and 2018, the Company had no cash equivalents. The Company maintains its cash in bank deposit accounts which, at times, may exceed federally insured limits. The Company has not experienced any losses in such accounts and periodically evaluates the credit worthiness of the financial institutions and has determined the credit exposure to be negligible.

 

Accounts Receivable

 

Accounts receivable are recorded at the invoiced amount and do not bear interest. The Company reserves for all accounts that are deemed to be uncollectible and reviews its allowance for doubtful accounts regularly. The allowance is based on the age of receivables and a specific identification of receivables considered at risk. Account balances are written off against the allowance when the potential for recovery is considered remote.

 

Capitalization of Fixed Assets

 

The Company capitalizes expenditures related to property and equipment, subject to a minimum rule, that have a useful life greater than one year for: (1) assets purchased; (2) existing assets that are replaced, improved or the useful lives have been extended; or (3) all land, regardless of cost. Acquisitions of new assets, additions, replacements and improvements (other than land) costing less than the minimum rule in addition to maintenance and repair costs, including any planned major maintenance activities, are expensed as incurred.

 

 

 

 

Revenue Recognition

 

The Company’s revenue is generated from tree care programs and services. The Company generally recognizes revenue from the sale of services as the services are performed. The Company recognizes revenues as it completes services to its customers in an amount reflecting the total consideration it expects to receive from the customer.

 

Revenue is recognized according to the following five step model: (1) identify the contract with a customer, (2) identify the performance obligations in the contract, (3) determine the transaction price, (4) allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract, and (5) recognize revenues when a performance obligation is satisfied. The Company determined that for contracts containing multiple performance obligations, stand-alone selling price is readily determinable for each performance obligation. The transaction price will include estimates of variable consideration, such as returns and provisions for doubtful accounts and sales incentives, to the extent it is probable that a significant reversal of revenue recognized will not occur. In all cases, when a sale is recorded by the Company, no significant uncertainty exists surrounding the purchaser’s obligation to pay.

 

In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2014-09, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers” (“ASC Topic 606”). This standard provides a single set of guidelines for revenue recognition to be used across all industries and requires additional disclosures. The updated guidance introduces a five-step model to achieve its core principal of the entity recognizing revenue to depict the transfer of goods or services to customers at an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. The Company adopted the updated guidance effective January 1, 2017 using the full retrospective method.

 

Related Party Transactions

 

The Company accounts for related party transactions in accordance with ASC 850 (“Related Party Disclosures”). A party is considered to be related to the Company if the party directly or indirectly or through one or more intermediaries, controls, is controlled by, or is under common control with the Company. Related parties also include principal owners of the Company, its management, members of the immediate families of principal owners of the Company and its management and other parties with which the Company may deal if one party controls or can significantly influence the management or operating policies of the other to an extent that one of the transacting parties might be prevented from fully pursuing its own separate interests. A party which can significantly influence the management or operating policies of the transacting parties or if it has an ownership interest in one of the transacting parties and can significantly influence the other to an extent that one or more of the transacting parties might be prevented from fully pursuing its own separate interests is also a related party.

 

Net Earnings (Loss) Per Common Share

 

The Company computes earnings per share under ASC Subtopic 260-10, “Earnings Per Share” (“ASC 260-10”). Basic earnings (loss) per share is computed by dividing the net income (loss) attributable to the common stockholders (the numerator) by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding (the denominator) during the reporting periods. Diluted loss per share is computed by increasing the denominator by the weighted average number of additional shares that could have been outstanding from securities convertible into common stock (using the “treasury stock” method), unless their effect on net loss per share is anti-dilutive. There were no potentially dilutive shares, which include outstanding common stock options, warrants, and convertible notes, as December 31, 2019 and 2018.

 

Income Taxes

 

Smith’s Tree Care, Inc. is Subchapter S pass-through entities for income tax purposes prior to its acquisition by the Company on February 28, 2020. Accordingly, the Company was not subject to income taxes prior to the acquisition and therefore there is no tax provision related to the income.

 

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, “Leases.” ASU 2016-02 requires a lessee to record a right of use asset and a corresponding lease liability on the balance sheet for all leases with terms longer than 12 months. ASU 2016-02 is effective for all interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018. Early adoption is permitted. A modified retrospective transition approach is required for lessees for capital and operating leases existing at, or entered into after, the beginning of the earliest period presented in the financial statements. The Company evaluated the impact that the application of the new standard has on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosure and determined that it has no material impact.

 

Other recent accounting pronouncements issued by the FASB, including its Emerging Issues Task Force, the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants, and the SEC did not or in management’s opinion will not have a material impact on the Company’s present or future consolidated financial statements.

Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Financial Information

 

On February 28, 2020, Smith’s Tree Care, LLC (“Smith’s Buyer”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Andover National Corporation (the “Company” or “Andover”), entered into an Asset and Equity Purchase and Contribution Agreement (the “Smith Acquisition Agreement”) with Smith’s Tree Care, Inc., a Virginia corporation (“Smith’s Seller”), Utro Crane Company, Inc., a Virginia corporation, Utro Crane Company, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and indirect subsidiary of the Company, and ANC Green Solutions - Smith’s, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and indirect subsidiary of the Company (“ANC Smith’s”) (the “Smith Acquisition”). Pursuant to the Smith Acquisition Agreement, among other things, (a) Smith’s Buyer acquired a sixty percent (60%) interest in all of the property and assets of Smith’s Seller and Utro Crane Company, Inc, (together, “Smith” or the “Seller Parties”) for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $3.0 million, subject to certain adjustments and (b) Smith’s Seller conveyed, transferred, assigned and delivered to ANC Smith’s an undivided forty percent (40%) interest in the acquired assets in exchange for equity securities of ANC Smith’s. The Seller Parties are engaged in the business of commercial and residential fully-integrated tree care, tree service, tree removal, stump grinding, mulching, logging, and related services.

 

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information presented below has been prepared on the basis set forth in the notes below and have been presented to illustrate the estimated effects of the Smith Acquisition. The Smith Acquisition is being accounted for as a business combination using the acquisition method with the Company as the accounting acquirer in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 805, Business Combinations. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information has been prepared as if the Smith Acquisition had been completed on December 31, 2019, for balance sheet purposes, and on January 1, 2019, for statement of operations purposes.

 

On October 4, 2019, Andover Environmental Solutions, LLC, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, entered into a Membership Interest Purchase Agreement with Heath L. Legg, pursuant to which Andover Environmental Solutions, LLC purchased sixty percent (60%) of the membership interests of ANC Green Solutions I, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the “Predecessor Business Combination”). As a result of the Predecessor Business Combination, the Company is the acquirer for accounting purposes and ANC Green Solutions I, LLC is the acquiree and accounting predecessor. The Company’s financial statement presentation distinguishes the Company’s financial performance into two distinct periods, the period up to the closing date of the Predecessor Business Combination (labeled “Predecessor”) and the period including and after that date (labeled “Successor”).

 

The historical financial information of the Company has been derived from the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 2019 (Successor) and for the period October 4, 2019 through December 31, 2019 (Successor) and for the period January 1, 2019 through October 3, 2019 (Predecessor). The historical financial information of Smith has been derived from the audited consolidated financial statements of the Seller Parties as of and for the year ended December 31, 2019, included in Exhibit 99.1 to the Company’s Form 8-K filed with the SEC on June 22, 2020.

 

The following unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet as of December 31, 2019 and the unaudited pro forma condensed combined statement of operations for the twelve months ended December 31, 2019 (collectively, the “Pro Forma Statements”) have been prepared in compliance with the requirements of SEC Regulation S-X Article 11 using accounting policies in accordance with U.S. GAAP.

 

The pro forma adjustments presented below are based on preliminary estimates and currently available information and assumptions that management believes are reasonable and appropriate under the circumstances and are factually supported based on information currently available. The notes to the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information provide a discussion of how such adjustments were derived and presented in the Pro Forma Statements. Changes in facts and circumstances or discovery of new information may result in revised estimates. As a result, there may be material adjustments to the Pro Forma Statements. Certain historical Smith financial statement caption amounts have been reclassified or combined to conform to presentation and the disclosure requirements of the combined company.

 

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information included below is not necessarily indicative of future results and should be read in conjunction with the historical financial statements of the Company included in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019 and in its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2020 as well as the audited consolidated financial statements of the Seller Parties included in Exhibit 99.1 to the Company’s Form 8-K filed with the SEC on June 22, 2020.

 

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information, which has been provided for illustrative purposes only, by its nature addresses a hypothetical situation and, therefore, does not purport to represent the Company’s actual results or financial position or what they would have been had the Smith Acquisition occurred on the date assumed, and may not be indicative of future results or financial position.

Notes to the Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Financial Information

 

Note 1 — Basis of Presentation and Description of Transactions

 

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information was prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP and pursuant to the rules and regulations of SEC Regulation S-X and presents the pro forma financial position and results of operations of the combined companies based upon the historical data of the Company and Smith.

 

Description of Transaction

 

On February 28, 2020, Smith’s Tree Care, LLC (“Smith’s Buyer”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Andover National Corporation (the “Company” or “Andover”), entered into an Asset and Equity Purchase and Contribution Agreement (the “Smith Acquisition Agreement”) with Smith’s Tree Care, Inc., a Virginia corporation (“Smith’s Seller”), Utro Crane Company, Inc., a Virginia corporation, Utro Crane Company, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and indirect subsidiary of the Company, and ANC Green Solutions - Smith’s, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and indirect subsidiary of the Company (“ANC Smith’s”) (the “Smith Acquisition”). Pursuant to the Smith Acquisition Agreement, among other things, (a) Smith’s Buyer acquired a sixty percent (60%) interest in all of the property and assets of Smith’s Seller and Utro Crane Company, Inc, (together, “Smith” or the “Seller Parties”) for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $3.0 million, subject to certain adjustments and (b) Smith’s Seller conveyed, transferred, assigned and delivered to ANC Smith’s an undivided forty percent (40%) interest in the acquired assets in exchange for equity securities of ANC Smith’s. The Seller Parties are engaged in the business of commercial and residential fully-integrated tree care, tree service, tree removal, stump grinding, mulching, logging, and related services.

 

Basis of Presentation

 

The historical consolidated financial statements have been adjusted in the pro forma condensed combined financial statements to give effect to pro forma events that are (1) directly attributable to the Smith Acquisition, (2) factually supportable and (3) with respect to the pro forma condensed combined statement of operations, expected to have a continuing impact on the combined results of the Company following the Smith Acquisition.

 

The Smith Acquisition is being accounted for as a business combination using the acquisition method with the Company as the accounting acquirer in accordance with ASC Topic 805, Business Combinations. As the accounting acquirer, the Company has estimated the fair value of Smith’s assets acquired and liabilities assumed and conformed the accounting policies of Smith to its own accounting policies.

 

The pro forma combined financial statements do not necessarily reflect what the combined company’s financial condition or results of operations would have been had the acquisition occurred on the dates indicated. They also may not be useful in predicting the future financial condition and results of operations of the combined company. The actual financial position and results of operations may differ significantly from the pro forma amounts reflected herein due to a variety of factors.

 

Note 2Preliminary purchase price allocation

 

As described in Note 1, on February 28, 2020, the Company acquired a 60% membership interest in Smith’s Seller for $3.0 million cash, consisting of $2.6 million paid at closing and an aggregate of $0.4 million in deferred consideration to be paid on the one- and two- year anniversary of the closing of the Smith Acquisition. In addition, the Smith Acquisition Agreement provides that Smith’s Seller is entitled to an amount, if any, by which the final working capital, as defined in the Smith Acquisition Agreement, delivered by Smith’s Seller is greater than the target working capital provided for in the Smith Acquisition Agreement, (the “Working Capital Adjustment”). The Company’s preliminary estimate of the Working Capital Adjustment due to Smith’s Seller, as if the Smith Acquisition had been completed on December 31, 2019, was $0.8 million.

 

 

 

 

 The following table presents the preliminary allocation of the purchase price to the assets acquired, liabilities assumed and noncontrolling interests for the Smith Acquisition:

 

 

Accounts receivable  $234,190 
      
Property and equipment   1,139,974 
      
Intangible assets   1,537,000 
      
Goodwill   2,162,928 
      
Accounts payable and accrued expenses   (82,468)
      
Deferred cash consideration   (1,200,382)
      
Redeemable noncontrolling interest in ANC Smith’s   (2,000,197)
      
Cash paid at closing, net of cash acquired  $1,791,045 

 

Under the acquisition method of accounting, the total consideration transferred is allocated to the acquired tangible and intangible assets and assumed liabilities of Smith based on their estimated fair values as of the transaction close date. Identified intangible assets relate to the following:

 

  

Estimated

Useful

Life

   Preliminary Fair Value 
Tradename   8   $443,000 
           
Customer relationship   5    1,016,000 
           
Non-compete provisions   4    78,000 
        $1,537,000 

 

The preliminary purchase price allocation has been used to prepare pro forma adjustments in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet and statement of operations. The final purchase price allocation will be determined when the Company has completed the detailed valuations and necessary calculations. The final allocation could differ materially from the preliminary allocation used in the pro forma adjustments. The final allocation may include changes in fair values of intangibles assets as well as goodwill and other changes to assets and liabilities.

 

Amortization related to the fair value adjustments to the intangible assets is reflected as a pro forma adjustment in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined statement of operations based on the estimated useful lives, as further described in Note 3(h). The fair value of the intangible assets and related amortization are preliminary and are based on preliminary valuations prepared by third-party advisors and reviewed by management. As discussed above, the amount that will ultimately be allocated to intangible assets and the related amount of amortization, may differ materially from this preliminary allocation. In addition, the amortization impacts will ultimately be based upon the periods in which the associated economic benefits or detriments are expected to be derived. Therefore, the amount of amortization following the Smith Acquisition may differ significantly between periods based upon the final value assigned and amortization methodology used for each of the intangible assets.

 

 

 

 

Note 3— Pro forma adjustments

 

The pro forma adjustments are based on preliminary estimates and assumptions that are subject to change. The following adjustments have been reflected in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information:

 

a)The historical financial information of the Company has been derived from the audited consolidated financial statements of the Company as of December 31, 2019 (Successor) and for the period October 4, 2019 through December 31, 2019 (Successor) and for the period January 1, 2019 through October 3, 2019 (Predecessor). The historical financial information of Smith has been derived from the audited consolidated financial statements of the Seller Parties as of and for the year ended December 31, 2019, included in Exhibit 99.1 to the Company’s Form 8-K filed with the SEC on June 22, 2020.

 

b)Adjustment to reflect the consideration transferred by the Company, which includes:

 

·Cash paid at the closing of the Smith Acquisition of $2.6 million;

 

·Deferred consideration of $0.4 million, of which $0.2 million is due on the one-year anniversary of the Smith Acquisition and included in Current portion of deferred consideration in the pro forma balance sheet, and $0.2 million is due on the two-year anniversary of the Smith Acquisition and included in Deferred consideration, net of current portion in the pro forma balance sheet; and

 

·The Working Capital Adjustment as of December 31, 2019 of approximately $0.8 million, which is included in Current portion of deferred consideration in the pro forma balance sheet.

 

c)Adjustment to eliminate Smith’s historical additional paid-in capital and retained earnings.

 

d)Represents the recognition of redeemable noncontrolling interest retained by the Seller Parties in the Smith Acquisition. The redeemable noncontrolling interest is classified as mezzanine equity due to the option of the noncontrolling shareholders to require the Company to purchase their interest. The acquisition-date fair value of the redeemable noncontrolling interest was determined using a market approach based on the transaction price observed in the Smith Acquisition.

 

e)Adjustment to eliminate the Notes payable – related party, which was not transferred to the Company in the Smith Acquisition.

 

f)Represents the preliminary purchase price allocated to the intangible assets based on the estimated fair values as follows:

 

Tradename: The fair value of the tradename was determined using an income approach based upon management’s assessment of prospective revenues, a royalty rate selected from a range of comparable licensing transactions and a discount rate based upon the Company’s weighted average cost of capital.

 

Customer relationships: The fair value of the customer relationships was determined using an income approach based upon management’s assessment of prospective financial information and a discount rate based upon the Company’s weighted average cost of capital.

 

Non-compete provisions: The fair value of the non-compete provisions, was determined using an income approach based upon management’s assessment of prospective financial information, including an estimated impact of competition, and a discount rate based upon the Company’s weighted average cost of capital.

 

g)Represents the preliminary purchase price allocated to goodwill in the Smith Acquisition. Goodwill represents the excess of the consideration transferred over the preliminary fair value of the net tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed. Goodwill will not be amortized, but instead will be tested for impairment at least annually and whenever events or circumstances have occurred that may indicate a possible impairment. In the event management determines that the value of goodwill has become impaired, the combined company will incur an accounting charge for the amount of the impairment during the period in which the determination is made.

 

h)Represents the future annual amortization of the intangible assets based upon their estimated useful lives. The estimated useful lives were determined based on a review of the time period over which the economic benefit of each intangible asset is estimated to be generated.

 

i)Adjustment to allocate Smith’s net income to redeemable noncontrolling interest holders. The net income allocated to noncontrolling interest is computed by applying the 40% ownership interest in Smith retained by the Seller Parties.
