Independent Auditor’s Report

 

To the Members

Seventh Wave Laboratories LLC

Maryland Heights, Missouri

 

We have audited the accompanying financial statements of Seventh Wave Laboratories LLC (a Missouri LLC), which comprise the balance sheets as of December 31, 2017 and 2016, and the related statements of income and members’ capital, 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 Seventh Wave Laboratories LLC as of December 31, 2017 and 2016, 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.

 

 

 

 

Report on Supplementary Information

 

Our audit was conducted for the purpose of forming an opinion on the financial statements as a whole. The Schedules of Operating Expenses are presented for purposes of additional analysis and is not a required part of the financial statements. Such information is the responsibility of management and was derived from and relates directly to the underlying accounting and other records used to prepare the financial statements. The information has been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audit of the financial statements and certain additional procedures, including comparing and reconciling such information directly to the underlying accounting and other records used to prepare the financial statements or to the financial statements themselves, and other additional procedures in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. In our opinion, the information is fairly stated in all material respects in relation to the financial statements as a whole.

Seventh Wave Laboratories LLC

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

December 31, 2017 AND 2016

 

1.SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

Nature of Business

 

Seventh Wave Laboratories LLC (the “Company”) (a Delaware limited liability company) is a consulting-based contract research laboratory that provides local, national, and international clients with nonclinical evaluations of drug efficacy, safety, systemic exposure, and metabolism from their facilities located near St. Louis, Missouri.

 

Basis of Accounting

 

The Company’s policy is to prepare its financial statements on the accrual basis of accounting in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

 

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 the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

 

Concentration of Credit Risk

 

The Company considers all checking and savings accounts, which are available for the Company’s operating needs, to be cash equivalents. The Company maintains cash deposits in one financial institution. The account balances are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) up to $250,000. At various times throughout the years ended December 31, 2017 and 2016, balances exceeded these insured limits. The Company has not experienced any losses in such accounts and believes it is not exposed to any significant credit risk on cash.

 

Accounts Receivable

 

Management monitors outstanding accounts receivable and charges off to expense any balances that are determined to be uncollectible in the period the determination is made. At December 31, 2017 and 2016, the Company considered all outstanding accounts receivable to be fully collectible. Accordingly, there was no allowance for doubtful accounts recorded.

 

Property and Equipment

 

Property and equipment are recorded at cost and are depreciated over the estimated useful lives of the assets using the straight-line method. Leasehold improvements are amortized using the straight-line method over the shorter of the remaining term of the lease or estimated useful life of the related asset. Upon sale or retirement, the cost and related accumulated depreciation and amortization are eliminated from their respective accounts, and the resulting gain or loss is included in current income. Improvements which materially extend useful lives are capitalized and are included in the accounts at cost. Maintenance and repairs are charged to operating expenses as incurred.

 

Depreciation is computed using straight-line methods over the estimated useful lives of the assets. The estimated useful lives are as follows:

 

Computers and lab equipment 2-15 years
Furniture and fixtures 2-7 years
Leasehold improvements 2-5 years

 

See the Independent Auditor’s Report. Page 6

 

 

Seventh Wave Laboratories LLC

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)

December 31, 2017 AND 2016

 

Depreciation expense charged against income during 2017 and 2016, which includes the amortization of assets acquired under capital leases, was $426,551 and $381,120, respectively.

 

Revenue Recognition

 

Revenue is generally realized or realizable and earned, and corresponding accounts receivable recorded, when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, delivery has occurred or services have been rendered, the seller's price to the buyer is fixed or determinable, and collectability is reasonably assured.

 

Bank Overdraft

 

Bank overdraft represents checks issued against the Company’s operating account that have not yet cleared the bank as of December 31, 2017 and 2016 and advances under its operating line of credit are not yet required. As part of its cash management program, the Company utilizes a sweep feature whereby checking account overdraft positions are covered by automatic advances under its line of credit agreement.

 

Income Taxes

 

The Company, with the consent of its members, has elected under the Internal Revenue Code to be taxed as a partnership. In lieu of corporate income taxes, the members are liable for individual federal and state income taxes on his or her respective share of the Company’s taxable income or net operating loss in his or her individual income tax return. Therefore, no provision or liability for federal income taxes has been included in the financial statements.

 

In accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) ASC 740-10, Accounting for Income Taxes, which prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return and also provides guidance on various related matters such as derecognition, interest, penalties and disclosures required, the Company’s policy is to recognize interest and penalties, if any, related to unrecognized tax benefits, if any, in income tax expense. There are no material unrecognized tax benefits, and as a result, no interest and penalties recognized.

 

Unconsolidated Variable Interest Entity

 

In March 2014, FASB issued Update No. 2014-07, Consolidation (Topic 810) – Applying Variable Interest Entities Guidance to Common Control Leasing Arrangements. Under FASB Update No. 2014-07, a private company lessee may elect an alternative not to apply VIE guidance to a lessor entity if:

 

(a)the private company lessee and the lessor entity are under common control
(b)the private company lessee has a lease arrangement with the lessor entity
(c)substantially all activities between the private company lessee and the lessor entity are related to leasing activities between the two entities, and
(d)if the private company lessee explicitly guarantees or provides collateral for any obligation of the lessor entity related to the asset leased by the private company, then the principal amount of the obligation at inception of such guarantee or collateral arrangement does not exceed the value of the asset leased by the private company from the lessor entity.

 

See the Independent Auditor’s Report. Page 7

 

 

Seventh Wave Laboratories LLC

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)

December 31, 2017 AND 2016

 

If the above criteria are met, the private company lessee may make an accounting election to not apply VIE guidance and to not include the assets, liabilities, and results of operations of the lessor entity in its financial statements for such financial statements to be in conformity with GAAP. If elected, the accounting alternative should be applied retrospectively to all periods presented. The alternative is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2014.

 

The Company has concluded that it meets the criteria under FASB Update No. 2014-07 with respect to SWL Properties LLC (“SWL Properties”), and as such, has elected the alternative not to apply VIE guidance and not to include the assets, liabilities, and results of operations of SWL Properties in its financial statements. See Note 8.

 

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

Lease Accounting

 

In February 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842). Under ASU 2016-02, a lessee should recognize in the balance sheet a liability to make lease payments (the lease liability) and a right-of-use asset representing its right to use the underlying asset for the lease term. When measuring assets and liabilities arising from a lease, a lessee should include payments to be made in optional periods only if the lessee is reasonably certain to exercise an option to extend the lease or not to exercise an option to terminate the lease. Similarly, optional payments to purchase the underlying asset should be included in the measurement of lease assets and lease liabilities only if the lessee is reasonably certain to exercise that purchase option.

 

Under ASU 2016-02, leases will continue to be differentiated between finance leases and operating leases. However, the principal difference from previous guidance is that the lease assets and lease liabilities arising from operating leases should be recognized in the balance sheet.

 

For finance leases, a lessee is required to do the following:

1.Recognize a right-of-use asset and a lease liability, initially measured at the present value of the lease payments, in the balance sheet.
2.Recognize interest on the lease liability separately from amortization of the right-of-use asset in the statement of income.
3.Classify repayments of the principal portion of the lease liability within financing activities and payments of interest on the lease liability and variable lease payments within operating activities in the statement of cash flows.

 

For operating leases, a lessee is required to do the following:

1.Recognize a right-of-use asset and a lease liability, initially measured at the present value of the lease payments, in the balance sheet.
2.Recognize a single lease cost, calculated so that the cost of the lease is allocated over the lease term on a generally straight-line basis.
3.Classify all cash payments within operating activities within the statement of cash flows.

 

For leases with a term of 12 months or less, a lessee is permitted to make an accounting policy election by class of underlying asset not to recognize lease assets and lease liabilities. If a lessee makes this election, it should recognize lease expense for such leases generally on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

 

ASU 2016-02 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019. Early adoption is permitted. Upon adoption, a modified retrospective approach shall be applied to all periods presented. Management is currently evaluating the impact ASU 2016-02 will have on the financial statements.

 

See the Independent Auditor’s Report. Page 8

 

 

Seventh Wave Laboratories LLC

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)

December 31, 2017 AND 2016

 

Revenue Recognition

 

In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606). The ASU introduced a comprehensive, principles-based framework for recognizing revenue, and, when effective, will supersede the revenue recognition requirements in FASB ASC 605, Revenue Recognition, and virtually all industry-specific revenue recognition guidance in the FASB ASC. The ASU is intended to improve GAAP by providing a framework to address revenue recognition issues, creating more consistency and comparability of revenue recognition practices across entities and industries, and improving the usefulness of information provided to financial statement users through more robust disclosure requirements.  Subsequent to the issuance of ASU 2014-09, the FASB issued a number of ASUs clarifying certain matters in ASU 2014-09. Those subsequent ASUs have the same effective dates as ASU 2014-09 (see discussion in the following paragraph).

 

In August 2015, the original effective dates of ASU 2014-09 were deferred by one year through the issuance of ASU 2015-14, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Deferral of the Effective Date. For nonpublic entities, ASU 2014-09 (as revised) is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018, and interim reporting periods within annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2019. Early application is allowed for nonpublic entities, but no earlier than annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim reporting periods within that period. Alternatively, the ASU can be applied to annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016, and interim reporting periods within annual reporting periods beginning one year after the year of initial adoption. Management is currently evaluating the impact ASU 2014-09 will have on the financial statements.

 

Subsequent Events

 

Management has evaluated the impact on the financial statements of events subsequent, if any, through March 22, 2018, which is the date the financial statements were available to be issued.

 

2.PRIOR-PERIOD ADJUSTMENTS

 

Certain errors during the 2015 reporting year resulting in an overstatement of reported cash and an understatement of accruals were discovered during the current year. Accordingly, an adjustment of $111,764 was made to reduce members’ equity as of the beginning of the 2016 year. There was no 2016 net income or tax impact from this restatement.

 

In addition, certain errors during the 2016 reporting year resulting in an overstatement of reported cash and an understatement of accruals were discovered during the current year totaling $206,735. Accordingly, a restatement of $206,735 was made to reduce cash and increase accruals for their respective amounts with the offsetting entry to payroll and commission expense decreasing net income by $206,735. There was no 2016 tax impact from this restatement.

 

Lastly, certain errors during the 2016 reporting year resulting in an understatement of reported cash and an overstatement of accounts receivable were discovered in the current year totaling $175,421. Accordingly, a restatement of $175,421 was made to increase cash and reduce accounts receivable. As this was a balance sheet only restatement, there was no net income or tax impact in 2016.
