Acquisitions
(As Amended
)
 
Acquisition of Interests in Delphax
 
Pursuant to a Securities Purchase Agreement dated as of
October 2, 2015 (
the “Securities Purchase Agreement”) among the Company, Delphax Technologies Inc. (“Delphax”) and its subsidiary, Delphax Technologies Canada Limited (“Delphax Canada”), on
November 24, 2015 (
the “Delphax Closing Date”), the Company purchased (i) at face value a
$2,500,000
principal amount Five-Year Senior Subordinated Promissory Note (the “Senior Subordinated Note”) issued by Delphax Canada for a combination of cash and the surrender of outstanding principal of
$500,000
and accrued and unpaid interest under, and cancellation of, a
90
-Day Senior Subordinated Note purchased at face value by the Company from Delphax Canada on
October 2, 2015
pursuant to the Securities Purchase Agreement and (ii) for
$1,050,000
in cash a total of
43,000
shares of Delphax
’s Series B Preferred Stock (the “Series B Preferred Stock”) and a Stock Purchase Warrant (the “Warrant”) to acquire an additional
95,600
shares of Series B Preferred Stock at a price of
$33.4728
per share (subject to adjustment for specified dilutive events).
 
Principal under the Senior Subordinated Note is due on
October 24, 2020
and initially bore interest at an annual rate of
8.5%,
with a default rate of interest at an annual rate of
10.5%.
Interest on the Senior Subordinated Note has accrued at the default rate of interest since
September 1, 2016.
Interest is to be paid in kind until, in the absence of specified events,
November 24, 2017.
Thereafter, interest is to be paid in cash. Interest in kind is to be paid monthly, while interest payable in cash is to be paid quarterly. The Senior Subordinated Note is guaranteed by Delphax and is secured by security interests granted by Delphax and Delphax Canada in their respective inventories, equipment, accounts receivable, cash, deposit accounts, contract rights and other specified property, as well as a pledge by Delphax of the outstanding capital stock of its subsidiaries, including Delphax Canada. Pursuant to the terms of a subordination agreement (the “Subordination Agreement”) entered into on
October 2, 2015
by Delphax, Delphax Canada, the Company and the senior lender (the “Senior Lender”) that provided a revolving credit facility under an agreement with Delphax and Delphax Canada (the “Senior Credit Agreement”), the Company
’s rights with respect to payment under and enforcement of the Senior Subordinated Note and enforcement of its security interests are subordinated to the rights of the Senior Lender under the Senior Credit Agreement. As described in greater detail in Note
16,
on
January 6, 2017
the Company acquired the rights and obligations of the Senior Lender under the Senior Credit Agreement, which was amended as of that date.
 
Each share of Series B Preferred Stock is convertible into
100
shares of common stock of Delphax, subject to anti-dilution adjustments, and has
no
liquidation preference over shares of common stock of Delphax.
No
dividends are required to be paid with respect to the shares of Series B Preferred Stock, except that ratable dividends (on an as-converted basis) are to be paid in the event that dividends are paid on the common stock of Delphax. Based on the number of shares of Delphax common stock outstanding and reserved for issuance under Delphax
’s employee stock option plans at the Closing Date, the number of shares of common stock underlying the Series B Preferred Stock purchased by the Company represent approximately
38%
of the shares of Delphax common stock that would be outstanding assuming conversion of Series B Preferred Stock held by the Company and approximately
31%
of the outstanding shares assuming conversion of the Series B Preferred Stock and the issuance of all the shares of Delphax common stock reserved for issuance under Delphax’s employee stock option plans.
 
Pursuant to the terms of the Series B Preferred Stock, for so long as amounts are owed to the Company under the Senior Subordinated Note or the Company continues to hold a specified number of the Shares and interests in the Warrant sufficient to permit it to acquire up to
50%
of the number of shares of Series B Preferred Stock initially purchasable under the Warrant (or holds shares of Series B Preferred Stock acquired in connection with the exercise of the Warrant equal to
50%
of the number of shares of Series B Preferred Stock initially purchasable under the Warrant), then
 
 
holders of the Series B Preferred Stock, voting as a separate class, would be entitled to elect (and exercise rights of removal and replacement with respect to)
three
-sevenths of the board of directors of Delphax, and after
June 1, 2016
the holders of the Series B Preferred Stock, voting as a separate class, would be entitled to elect (and to exercise rights of removal and replacement with respect to)
four
-sevenths of the members of the board of directors of Delphax; and
 
 
without the written consent or waiver of the Company, Delphax
may
not
enter into specified corporate transactions.
 
Pursuant to the provision described above, beginning on
November 24, 2015,
three
designees of the Company were elected to the board of directors of Delphax, which had a total of
seven
members following their election. As of
December 31, 2016,
two
designees of the Company continued to serve on the board of directors of Delphax, which had a total of
five
remaining members, as the Company had
not
exercised its right to elect
four
-sevenths of the members of the board of directors of Delphax.
 
The Warrant expires on
November 24, 2021.
In the event that Delphax were to declare a cash dividend on its common stock, the Warrant provides that the holder of the Warrant would participate in the dividend as if the Warrant had been exercised in full and the shares of Series B Preferred Stock acquired upon exercise had been fully converted into Delphax common stock. The Warrant provides that, prior to any exercise of the Warrant, the holder of the Warrant must
first
make a good faith written tender offer to existing holders of Delphax common stock to purchase an aggregate amount of common stock equal to the number of shares of common stock issuable upon conversion of the Series B Preferred Stock that would be purchased upon such exercise of the Warrant. The Warrant requires that the per share purchase price to be offered in such tender offer would be equal to the then-current exercise price of the Warrant divided by the then-current conversion rate of the Series B Preferred Stock. To the extent that shares of common stock are purchased by the holder in the tender offer, the amount of shares of Series B Preferred Stock purchasable under the Warrant held by such holder is to be ratably reduced. The Warrant is to provide that it
may
be exercised for cash, by surrender of principal and interest under the Senior Subordinated Note equal to
0.95
times the aggregate exercise price or by surrender of a portion of the Warrant having a value equal to the aggregate exercise price based on the difference between the Warrant exercise price per share and an average market value, measured over a
20
-trading day period, of Delphax common stock that would be acquired upon conversion of
one
share of Series B Preferred Stock.
 
As a result of the above transactions, the Company determined that it had obtained control over Delphax and we consolidated Delphax in our consolidated financial statements beginning on
November 24, 2015
.
 
The following table summarizes the fair values of Delphax assets and liabilities as of the Delphax Closing Date:

The Company determined that it was reasonable to use the price it paid for its equity interests as the basis for estimating the total fair value of Delphax
’s equity as of
November 24, 2015
acquisition date. The effect of the Company’s equity and debt investments of
$1,050,000
and
$2,500,000,
respectively, are
not
reflected in the above table. As such, the amounts presented reflect the fair values of Delphax’s assets and liabilities immediately prior to the Company’s investments. The net assets amount presented above is the estimated acquisition date fair value of the non-controlling interests in Delphax.
 
Delphax
’s debt immediately prior to the acquisition included approximately
$508,000
due under the
90
-Day Senior Subordinated Note.
 
As further discussed in Note
10,
the Company recognized significant expenses in the
June 30, 2016
quarter associated with Delphax employee benefit costs and write-downs of Delphax inventories, long-lived tangible and intangible assets, and goodwill. The Company concluded that the charges were necessary to reflect changes in market conditions and business outlook during the
June 30, 2016
quarter and were
not
associated with conditions that existed as of the Delphax Closing Date. As such, these adjustments were
not
accounted for as “measurement period” adjustments in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements.
 
Acquisition of Interests in Contrail
 
On
July 18, 2016 (
the “Contrail Closing Date”), pursuant to an asset purchase agreement (the “Asset Purchase Agreement”) between Contrail Aviation Support, LLC (“Contrail Aviation”), a subsidiary of the Company, Contrail Aviation Support, Inc. (the “Seller” or “Contrail”) and Joseph Kuhn, the sole shareholder of the Seller, Contrail Aviation completed the purchase of all of the assets owned, used or usable by the Seller, other than cash, equity in the Seller
’s IC-DISC subsidiary and certain other specified excluded assets. Pursuant to the Asset Purchase Agreement, Contrail Aviation also assumed certain liabilities of the Seller. Prior to this acquisition, the Seller, based in Verona, Wisconsin, engaged in the business of acquiring surplus commercial jet engines and components and supplying surplus and aftermarket commercial jet engine components. In connection with the acquisition, Contrail Aviation offered employment to all of the Seller’s employees and Mr. Kuhn was appointed Chief Executive Officer of Contrail Aviation.
 
 
The acquisition consideration consisted of (i)
$4,033,368
in cash, (ii) equity membership units in Contrail Aviation representing
21%
of the total equity membership units in Contrail Aviation, and (iii) and contingent additional deferred consideration payments which are more fully described below.
 
Pursuant to the Asset Purchase Agreement, Contrail Aviation agreed to pay as contingent additional deferred consideration up to a maximum of
$1,500,000
per year and
$3,000,000
in the aggregate (collectively, the “Earnout Payments” and each, an “Earnout Payment”), calculated as follows:
 
(i) if Contrail Aviation generates EBITDA (as defined in the Asset Purchase Agreement) in any Earnout Period (as defined below) less than
$1,500,000,
no
Earnout Payment will be payable with respect to such Earnout Period;
 
(ii) if Contrail Aviation generates EBITDA in any Earnout Period equal to or in excess of
$1,500,000,
but less than
$2,000,000,
the Earnout Payment for each such Earnout Period will be an amount equal to the product of (
x
) the EBITDA generated with respect to such Earnout Period minus
$1,500,000,
and (y)
two
(
2
);
 
(iii) if Contrail Aviation generates EBITDA in any Earnout Period equal to or in excess of
$2,000,000,
but less than
$4,000,000,
the Earnout Payment for each such Earnout Period will be equal to
$1,000,000;
 
(iv) if Contrail Aviation generates EBITDA in any Earnout Period equal to or in excess of
$4,000,000,
the Earnout Payment for each such Earnout Period will be equal to
$1,500,000;
and
 
(v) if, following the
fifth
Earnout Period, Contrail Aviation has generated EBITDA equal to or in excess of
$15,000,000
in the aggregate during all Earnout Periods, but the Seller has received or is owed less than
$3,000,000
in aggregate Earnout Payments pursuant to clauses (i) through (iv), above, Contrail Aviation will make an additional Earnout Payment to the Seller in an amount equal to the difference between
$3,000,000
and the aggregate Earnout Payments already received or payable pursuant to clauses (i) through (iv), above.
 
As used in the Asset Purchase Agreement, “Earnout Period” means each of the
first
five twelve
-full-calendar-month periods following the closing of the acquisition.
 
On the Contrail Closing Date, Contrail Aviation and the Seller entered into an Operating Agreement (the “Operating Agreement”) providing for the governance of and the terms of membership interests in Contrail Aviation and including put and call options (“Put/Call Option”) permitting, at any time after the
fifth
anniversary of the Contrail Closing Date, Contrail Aviation at its election to purchase from the Seller, and permitting the Seller at its election to require Contrail Aviation to purchase from the Seller, all of the Seller
’s equity membership interests in Contrail Aviation at a price to be agreed upon, or failing such an agreement to be determined pursuant to
third
-party appraisals in a process specified in the Operating Agreement.

The Company
’s purchase accounting reflects the estimated net fair value of the Seller’s assets acquired and liabilities assumed as of the Contrail Closing Date. Purchase accounting also reflects the Company’s current estimate that the Earnout Payments will be due at the above-specified maximum level. The Contrail Closing Date balance sheet information disclosed above reflects the present value of such estimated Earnout Payments.
 
The Company
’s initial accounting for the acquisition was incomplete as of the date of the Original Filing, principally as regards the valuation of inventories and intangible assets. Therefore, as permitted by the applicable accounting guidance, the above amounts are provisional.
 
The Put/Call Option specifies a fair value strike price as of the exercise date. As such, the Company assigned
no
value to the Put/Call Option for purposes of purchase accounting. Because the Put/Call Option permits the Seller to require Contrail Aviation to purchase all of the Seller
’s equity membership interests in Contrail Aviation, the Company has presented this redeemable non-controlling interest in Contrail Aviation between the liabilities and equity sections of the accompanying
December 31, 2016
condensed consolidated balance sheet. The Company estimates that the fair value of Contrail Aviation did
not
change by more than an inconsequential amount between
July 18, 2016,
September 30, 2016,
and
December 31, 2016.
Therefore, other than allocation of the Seller’s proportionate share of Contrail Aviation’s net earnings for the period since acquisition, the Company has
not
adjusted the redeemable non-controlling interest balance from the Contrail Closing Date amount.
 
Pro forma financial information is
not
presented as the results are
not
material to the Company
’s consolidated financial statements.
 
Amortization expense associated with the acquired intangible assets totaled approximately
$60,000
for the
nine
months ended
December 31, 2016.
 
Other Acquisitions
 
On
October 3, 2016,
a newly formed subsidiary of the Company, Global Aviation Partners LLC, acquired
100%
of the outstanding equity interests of Jet Yard, LLC (“Jet Yard”) from the holder thereof. The cash purchase price was
$15,000
and there are
no
contractual provisions, such as an earn-out, which could result in an increase to this price. Jet Yard is registered to operate a repair station under Part
145
of the regulations of the Federal Aviation Administration and its principal asset on the acquisition date was a contract with Pinal County, Arizona to lease approximately
48.5
acres of land at the Pinal Air Park in Marana, Arizona. Jet Yard was organized in
2014,
entered into the lease in
June 2016
and had maintained de minimus operations from formation through the acquisition date. The lease expires in
May 2046
with an option to renew for an additional
30
-year period (though the lease to a
2.6
acre parcel of the leased premises
may
be terminated by Pinal County upon
90
days
’ notice). The lease provides for an initial annual rent of
$27,000,
which rental rate escalates based on a schedule in annual increments during the
first
seven
years of the lease (at which time the annual rental rate would be
$152,000
), and increases by an additional
five
percent for each
three
-year period thereafter. Because the rental expense will be accounted for on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease, the rental expense in the initial years will exceed the corresponding cash payments. The lease agreement permits Pinal County to terminate the lease if Jet Yard fails to make substantial progress toward the construction of facilities on the leased premises in phases in accordance with a specified timetable, which includes, as the initial phase, the construction of a demolition pad to be completed by
March 2017
and, as the final and most significant phase, the construction of an aircraft maintenance hangar large enough to house a Boeing
B777
-
300
by the
first
quarter of
2021.
 
The acquired Jet Yard business is included in the Company
’s commercial jet engine segment. The Company has finalized its Jet Yard acquisition accounting.
 
Pursuant to an Asset Purchase Agreement (the “Asset Purchase Agreement”) signed on
October 31, 2016,
the Company
’s Global Aviation Services, LLC subsidiary (“GAS”), acquired, effective as of
October 1, 2016,
substantially all of the assets of D&D GSE Support, Inc. (“D&D”) which was in the business of marketing, selling and providing aviation repair, equipment, parts, and maintenance sales services and products at the Fort Lauderdale airport. The total amount paid at closing in connection with this acquisition was
$400,000.
Additionally,
$100,000
was due within
30
days after closing and an additional
$100,000
is payable in equal monthly installments of
$16,667
commencing on
November 1, 2016.
Earn-out payments of up to
$100,000
may
also be payable based on specified performance for the
twelve
-month period ending
September 30, 2017.
For purposes of purchase accounting, the Company estimated that the above-mentioned earn-out will be paid in full. Therefore, the Company estimates the total purchase consideration at approximately
$700,000.
The Company allocated the purchase consideration to identifiable tangible and intangible assets.
No
liabilities were assumed in the acquisition. The estimated fair value of identifiable tangible and intangibles assets was approximately
$200,000
and
$300,000,
respectively. The
$200,000
excess of the purchase consideration over the estimated fair value of identifiable assets was recorded as goodwill. The basis of the acquired assets will be “stepped up” for income tax purposes. As such,
no
deferred taxes were recognized in purchase accounting.
 
Amortization expense associated with the acquired intangible assets was approximately
$5,000
during the
nine
months ended
December 31, 2016.
 
The acquired D&D business is operated by GAS and included in the Company
’s ground support services segment. The Company has finalized its D&D acquisition accounting.
 
Pro forma financial information is
not
presented for the above acquisitions as the results are
not
material to the Company
’s consolidated financial statements.
