NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

SEPTEMBER 30, 2019

(UNAUDITED)

 

NOTE 1—ORGANIZATION AND NATURE OF BUSINESS

 

1847 Holdings LLC (the “Company”) was formed under the laws of the State of Delaware on January 22, 2013. The Company is in the business of acquiring small businesses in a variety of different industries.

 

On March 3, 2017, the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiary 1847 Neese Inc., a Delaware corporation (“1847 Neese”), entered into a stock purchase agreement with Neese, Inc., an Iowa corporation (“Neese”), and Alan Neese and Katherine Neese, pursuant to which 1847 Neese acquired all of the issued and outstanding capital stock of Neese. As a result of this transaction, the Company owns 55% of 1847 Neese, with the remaining 45% held by the sellers.

 

On January 10, 2019, the Company established 1847 Goedeker Inc. (“Goedeker”) as a wholly-owned subsidiary in the State of Delaware in connection with the proposed acquisition of assets from Goedeker Television Co., Inc., a Missouri corporation (“Goedeker Television”), described below. On March 20, 2019, the Company established 1847 Goedeker Holdco Inc. (“1847 Holdco”) as a wholly-owned subsidiary in the State of Delaware and subsequently transferred all of its shares in Goedeker to 1847 Holdco, such that Goedeker became a wholly-owned subsidiary of 1847 Holdco.

 

On January 18, 2019, Goedeker entered into an asset purchase agreement with Goedeker Television and Steve Goedeker and Mike Goedeker, pursuant to which, on April 5, 2019, Goedeker acquired substantially all of the assets of Goedeker Television used in its retail appliance and furniture business (see Note 9). As a result of this transaction, the Company owns 70% of 1847 Holdco, with the remaining 30% held by third-parties. (See Note 17).

 

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its consolidated subsidiaries, 1847 Neese, Neese, 1847 Holdco and Goedeker. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

 

NOTE 2—SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

Basis of Presentation

 

The financial statements of the Company have been prepared without audit in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“GAAP”) and are presented in US dollars.

 

In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2019 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2019.

 

These unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto contained in the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018.

 

Accounting Basis

 

The Company uses the accrual basis of accounting and GAAP. The Company has adopted a calendar year end.

 

Stock Splits

 

On January 22, 2018, the Company completed a 1-for-5 reverse split of its outstanding common shares. As a result of this stock split, the Company’s issued and outstanding common shares decreased from 3,115,500 to 623,125 shares.

 

On May 10, 2018, the Company completed a 5-for-1 forward stock split of its outstanding common shares. As a result of this stock split, the Company’s issued and outstanding common shares increased from 623,125 to 3,115,625 shares.

 

Accordingly, all share and per share information has been restated to retroactively show the effect of these stock splits.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

SEPTEMBER 30, 2019

(UNAUDITED)

 

Segment Reporting

 

The Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standard Codification (“ASC”) Topic 280, Segment Reporting, requires that an enterprise report selected information about reportable segments in its financial reports issued to its stockholders. Beginning with the second quarter of 2019, the Company changed its operating and reportable segments from one segment to two segments: the Land Management Segment, which is operated by Neese, and the Retail and Appliances Segment, which is operated by Goedeker.

 

The Land Management Segment will be responsible for the activities that provide professional services on waste disposal and land application services based in Grand Junction, Iowa.

 

The Retail and Appliances Segment will be responsible for the activities in e-commerce destination for home furnishings, including appliances, furniture, bath and kitchen fixtures, décor, lighting and home goods based in St. Louis, Missouri.

 

The Company provides general corporate services to its segments; however, these services are not considered when making operating decisions and assessing segment performance. These services are reported under “Holding Company” below and these include costs associated with executive management, financing activities and public company compliance.

 

Cash and Cash Equivalents

 

The Company considers all highly liquid investments with the original maturities of three months or less to be cash equivalents.

 

Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with 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 financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

 

Reclassifications

 

Certain Statements of Operations reclassifications have been made in the presentation of the Company’s prior financial statements and accompanying notes to conform to the presentation as of and for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019. The Company reclassified certain operating expense accounts in the Consolidated Statement of Operations. The reclassification had no impact on financial position, net income, or shareholder’s equity.

 

Revenue Recognition and Cost of Revenue 

 

On January 1, 2018, the Company adopted Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606), which supersedes the revenue recognition requirements in Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 605, Revenue Recognition. This ASU is based on the principle that revenue is recognized to depict the transfer of goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. This ASU also requires additional disclosure about the nature, amount, timing, and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from customer purchase orders, including significant judgments. The Company’s adoption of this ASU resulted in no change to the Company’s results of operations or balance sheet.

Neese’s payment terms are due on demand from acceptance of delivery. Neese does not incur incremental costs obtaining purchase orders from customers, however, if Neese did, because all of Neese’s contracts are less than a year in duration, any contract costs incurred would be expensed rather than capitalized.

The revenue that Neese recognizes arises from orders it receives from customers. Neese’s performance obligations under the customer orders correspond to each service delivery or sale of equipment that Neese makes to customers under the purchase orders; as a result, each purchase order generally contains only one performance obligation based on the service or equipment sale to be completed. Control of the delivery transfers to customers when the customer is able to direct the use of, and obtain substantially all of the benefits from, Neese’s products, which generally occurs at the later of when the customer obtains title to the equipment or when the customer assumes risk of loss. The transfer of control generally occurs at a point of delivery. Once this occurs, Neese has satisfied its performance obligation and Neese recognizes revenue.

 

Neese also sells equipment by posting it on auction sites specializing in farm equipment. Neese posts the equipment for sale on a “magazine” site for several weeks before the auction. When Neese decides to sell, it moves the equipment to the auction site. The auctions are one day. If Neese accepts a bid, the customer pays the bid price and arranges for pick-up of the equipment.

 

Transaction Price ‒ Neese agrees with customers on the selling price of each transaction. This transaction price is generally based on the agreed upon service fee. In Neese’s contracts with customers, it allocates the entire transaction price to the service fee to the customer, which is the basis for the determination of the relative standalone selling price allocated to each performance obligation. Any sales tax, value added tax, and other tax Neese collects concurrently with revenue-producing activities are excluded from revenue.

 

If Neese continued to apply legacy revenue recognition guidance for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019, revenues, gross margin, and net loss would not have changed.

 

Substantially all of Neese’s sales are to businesses, including farmers or municipalities and very little to individuals.

 

Disaggregated Revenue ‒ Neese disaggregates revenue from contracts with customers by contract type, as it believes it best depicts how the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows are affected by economic factors.

 

Neese’s revenue by contract type is as follows:

Performance Obligations ‒ Performance obligations for the different types of services are discussed below:

 

Trucking ‒ Revenues for time and material contracts are recognized when the merchandise or commodity is delivered to the destination specified in the agreement with the customer.

 

Waste Hauling and pumping ‒ Revenues for waste hauling and pumping is recognized when the hauling, pumping, and spreading are complete.

 

Repairs ‒ Revenues for repairs are recognized upon completion of equipment serviced.

 

Sales of parts and equipment ‒ Revenues for the sale of parts and equipment are recognized upon the transfer and acceptance by the customer.

Accounts Receivable, Net ‒ Accounts receivable, net, are amounts due from customers where there is an unconditional right to consideration. Unbilled receivables of $0 and $139,766 are included in this balance at September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively. The payment of consideration related to these unbilled receivables is subject only to the passage of time.

 

Neese reviews accounts receivable on a periodic basis to determine if any receivables will potentially be uncollectible. Estimates are used to determine the amount of the allowance for doubtful accounts necessary to reduce accounts receivable to its estimated net realizable value. The estimates are based on an analysis of past due receivables, historical bad debt trends, current economic conditions, and customer specific information. After Neese has exhausted all collection efforts, the outstanding receivable balance relating to services provided is written off against the allowance. Additions to the provision for bad debt are charged to expense.

 

Neese determined that an allowance for loss of $29,001 was required at September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018.

 

Retail and Appliances Segment

 

Goedeker collects the full sales price from the customer at the time the order is placed. Goedeker does not incur incremental costs obtaining purchase orders from customers, however, if Goedeker did, because all Goedeker’s contracts are less than a year in duration, any contract costs incurred would be expensed rather than capitalized.

 

The revenue that Goedeker recognizes arises from orders it receives from customers. Goedeker’s performance obligations under the customer orders correspond to each sale of merchandise that it makes to customers under the purchase orders; as a result, each purchase order generally contains only one performance obligation based on the merchandise sale to be completed. Control of the delivery transfers to customers when the customer can direct the use of, and obtain substantially all the benefits from, Goedeker’s products, which generally occurs when the customer assumes the risk of loss. The transfer of control generally occurs at the point of shipment. Once this occurs, Goedeker has satisfied its performance obligation and Goedeker recognizes revenue. Revenue from the sale of long-term service warranties are recognized net of costs to sell the contracts to the third-party warranty service company.

 

Transaction Price ‒ Goedeker agrees with customers on the selling price of each transaction. This transaction price is generally based on the agreed upon sales price. In Goedeker’s contracts with customers, it allocates the entire transaction price to the sales price, which is the basis for the determination of the relative standalone selling price allocated to each performance obligation. Any sales tax, value added tax, and other tax Goedeker collects concurrently with revenue-producing activities are excluded from revenue.

 

If Goedeker continued to apply legacy revenue recognition guidance for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019, revenues, gross margin, and net loss would not have changed.

 

Cost of revenue includes the cost of purchased merchandise plus the cost of delivering merchandise and where applicable installation, net of promotional rebates and other incentives received from vendors.

 

Substantially all Goedeker’s sales are to individual retail consumers.

 

Disaggregated Revenue ‒ Goedeker disaggregates revenue from contracts with customers by contract type, as it believes it best depicts how the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows are affected by economic factors.

Receivables

 

Receivables consist of credit card transactions in the process of settlement. Vendor rebates receivable represent amounts due from manufactures from whom the Company purchases products. Rebates receivable are stated at the amount that management expects to collect from manufacturers, net of accounts payable amounts due the vendor. Rebates are calculated on product and model sales programs from specific vendors. The rebates are paid at intermittent periods either in cash or through issuance of vendor credit memos, which can be applied against vendor accounts payable. Based on the Company’s assessment of the credit history with its manufacturers, it has concluded that there should be no allowance for uncollectible accounts. The Company historically collects substantially all of its outstanding rebates receivables. Uncollectible balances are expensed in the period it is determined to be uncollectible.

 

Allowance for Credit Losses

 

Provisions for credit losses are charged to income as losses are estimated to have occurred and in amounts sufficient to maintain an allowance for credit losses at an adequate level to provide for future losses on the Company’s accounts receivable. The Company charges credit losses against the allowance and credits subsequent recoveries, if any, to the allowance. Historical loss experience and contractual delinquency of accounts receivables, and management’s judgment are factors used in assessing the overall adequacy of the allowance and the resulting provision for credit losses. While management uses the best information available to make its evaluation, future adjustments to the allowance may be necessary if there are significant changes in economic conditions or portfolio performance. This evaluation is inherently subjective as it requires estimates that are susceptible to significant revisions as more information becomes available.

 

The allowance for credit losses consists of general and specific components. The general component of the allowance estimates credit losses for groups of accounts receivable on a collective basis and relates to probable incurred losses of unimpaired accounts receivables. The Company records a general allowance for credit losses that includes forecasted future credit losses.

 

Inventory

 

Inventory consists of finished products acquired for resale and is valued at the lower-of-cost-or-market with cost determined on a specific item basis for the Neese and of finished products acquired for resale and is valued at the low-of-cost-or-market with cost determined on a average item basis for Goedeker. The Company periodically evaluates the value of items in inventory and provides write-downs to inventory based on its estimate of market conditions. The Company estimated an obsolescence allowance of $99,546 at September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018.

 

Property and Equipment

 

Property and equipment is stated at cost. Depreciation of furniture, vehicles and equipment is calculated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives as follows:

 

  

Useful Life

(Years)

 
Building and Improvements  4 
Machinery and Equipment  3-7 
Tractors  3-7 
Trucks and vehicles  3-6

Goodwill and Intangible Assets

 

In applying the acquisition method of accounting, amounts assigned to identifiable assets and liabilities acquired were based on estimated fair values as of the date of acquisition, with the remainder recorded as goodwill. Identifiable intangible assets are initially valued at fair value using generally accepted valuation methods appropriate for the type of intangible asset. Identifiable intangible assets with definite lives are amortized over their estimated useful lives and are reviewed for impairment if indicators of impairment arise. Intangible assets with indefinite lives are tested for impairment within one year of acquisitions or annually as of December 1, and whenever indicators of impairment exist. The fair value of intangible assets are compared with their carrying values, and an impairment loss would be recognized for the amount by which a carrying amount exceeds its fair value.

 

Acquired identifiable intangible assets are amortized over the following periods:

 

Acquired intangible Asset  Amortization Basis 

Expected Life

(years)

 
Customer-Related  Straight-line basis  5 

 

Long-Lived Assets

 

The Company reviews its property and equipment and any identifiable intangibles for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. The test for impairment is required to be performed by management at least annually. Recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset to the future undiscounted operating cash flow expected to be generated by the asset. If such assets are considered to be impaired, the impairment to be recognized is measured by the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset exceeds the fair value of the asset. Long-lived assets to be disposed of are reported at the lower of carrying amount or fair value less costs to sell.

 

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

 

The Company’s financial instruments consist of cash and cash equivalents and amounts due to shareholders. The carrying amount of these financial instruments approximates fair value due either to length of maturity or interest rates that approximate prevailing market rates unless otherwise disclosed in these financial statements.

 

Derivative Instrument Liability

 

The Company accounts for derivative instruments in accordance with ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging, which establishes accounting and reporting standards for derivative instruments and hedging activities, including certain derivative instruments embedded in other financial instruments or contracts, and requires recognition of all derivatives on the balance sheet at fair value, regardless of hedging relationship designation. Accounting for changes in fair value of the derivative instruments depends on whether the derivatives qualify as hedge relationships and the types of relationships designated are based on the exposures hedged. At September 30, 2019, the Company classified a warrant issued in conjunction with a term loan as a derivative instrument. (see Note 11).

 

Income Taxes

 

Income taxes are computed using the asset and liability method. Under the asset and liability method, deferred income tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the differences between the financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities and are measured using the currently enacted tax rates and laws. A valuation allowance is provided for the amount of deferred tax assets that, based on available evidence, are not expected to be realized.

 

Stock-Based Compensation

 

Stock-based compensation is accounted for at fair value in accordance with ASC Topic 718. To date, the Company has not adopted a stock option plan and has not granted any stock options.

Basic Income (Loss) Per Share

 

Basic income (loss) per share is calculated by dividing the net loss applicable to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares during the period. Diluted earnings per share is calculated by dividing the net income available to common shareholders by the diluted weighted average number of shares outstanding during the year. The diluted weighted average number of shares outstanding is the basic weighted number of shares adjusted for any potentially dilutive debt or equity. As the Company had a net loss for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019, the following 895,565 potentially dilutive securities were excluded from diluted loss per share: 200,000 for outstanding warrants and 695,565 related to the convertible note payable and accrued interest. There are no such common share equivalents outstanding as of September 30, 2018.

 

Going Concern Assessment

 

Management assesses going concern uncertainty in the Company’s consolidated financial statements to determine whether there is sufficient cash on hand and working capital, including available borrowings on loans, to operate for a period of at least one year from the date the consolidated financial statements are issued or available to be issued, which is referred to as the “look-forward period”, as defined in GAAP. As part of this assessment, based on conditions that are known and reasonably knowable to management, management will consider various scenarios, forecasts, projections, estimates and will make certain key assumptions, including the timing and nature of projected cash expenditures or programs, its ability to delay or curtail expenditures or programs and its ability to raise additional capital, if necessary, among other factors. Based on this assessment, as necessary or applicable, management makes certain assumptions around implementing curtailments or delays in the nature and timing of programs and expenditures to the extent it deems probable those implementations can be achieved and management has the proper authority to execute them within the look-forward period.

 

The Company has generated losses since its inception and has relied on cash on hand, external bank lines of credit and the sale of a note to support cashflow from operations. As of and for the nine months ended September 30, 2019, the Company had a net loss attributable to 1847 Holdings shareholders of $1,978,241, negative working capital of $9,612,640 and net cash used in operations of $954,532. Management believes that based on relevant conditions and events that are known and reasonably knowable that its forecasts, for one year from the date of the filing of the consolidated financial statements in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, indicate improved operations and the Company’s ability to continue operations as a going concern. The Company has contingency plans to reduce or defer expenses and cash outlays should operations not improve in the look forward period.

 

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

Not Yet Adopted

 

In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-04, Intangibles - Goodwill and Other: Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment. To simplify the subsequent measurement of goodwill, the update requires only a single-step quantitative test to identify and measure impairment based on the excess of a reporting unit’s carrying amount over its fair value. A qualitative assessment may still be completed first for an entity to determine if a quantitative impairment test is necessary. The update is effective for fiscal year 2021 and is to be adopted on a prospective basis. Early adoption is permitted for interim or annual goodwill impairment tests performed on testing dates after January 1, 2017. The Company will test goodwill for impairment within one year of the acquisition or annually as of December 1, and whenever indicators of impairment exist.

 

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13 Financial Instruments-Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments which requires the measurement and recognition of expected credit losses for financial assets held at amortized cost. ASU 2016-13 replaces the existing incurred loss impairment model with an expected loss methodology, which will result in more timely recognition of credit losses. ASU 2016-13 is effective for annual reporting periods, and interim periods within those years beginning after December 15, 2019. The Company is currently in the process of evaluating the impact of the adoption of ASU 2016-13 on its consolidated financial statements.

Recently Adopted

 

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases. This ASU is a comprehensive new leases standard that amends various aspects of existing guidance for leases and requires additional disclosures about leasing arrangements. It will require companies to recognize lease assets and lease liabilities by lessees for those leases classified as operating leases under previous GAAP. Topic 842 retains a distinction between finance leases and operating leases. The classification criteria for distinguishing between finance leases and operating leases are substantially similar to the classification criteria for distinguishing between capital leases and operating leases in the previous leases guidance. The ASU is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those fiscal years; and earlier adoption is permitted. In the financial statements in which the ASU is first applied, leases shall be measured and recognized at the beginning of the earliest comparative period presented with an adjustment to equity. Practical expedients are available for election as a package and if applied consistently to all leases. On January 1, 2019, the Company recognized $624,157 of financing lease assets and $624,157 of financing lease liabilities, including noncurrent financing lease liabilities of $559,972, as a result of adopting this standard. As part of its adoption, the Company elected the following practical expedients: the Company has not reassessed whether any expired or existing contracts are or contain leases, the Company has not reassessed lease classification for any expired or existing leases; the Company has not reassessed initial direct costs for any existing leases; and the Company has not separated lease and non-lease components. The adoption of the standard did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements and related disclosures. The comparative periods have not been restated for the adoption of ASU 2016-02.

NOTE 9—ACQUISITION

 

On January 18, 2019, Goedeker entered into an asset purchase agreement with Goedeker Television and Steve Goedeker and Mike Goedeker (the “Stockholders”), pursuant to which Goedeker agreed to acquire substantially all of the assets of Goedeker Television used in its retail appliance and furniture business (the “Goedeker Business”).

 

On April 5, 2019, Goedeker, 1847 Holdco, and the Stockholders entered into an amendment to the asset purchase agreement and closing of the acquisition of substantially all of the assets of Goedeker Television used in the Goedeker Business was completed (the “Acquisition”).

 

The aggregate purchase price was $6,200,000 consisting of: (i) $1,500,000 in cash, subject to adjustment; (ii) the issuance of a promissory note in the principal amount of $4,100,000; and (iii) up to $600,000 in earn out payments (as described below). As additional consideration, 1847 Holdco agreed to issue to each of the Stockholders a number of shares of its common stock equal to a 11.25% non-dilutable interest (22.5% total) in all of the issued and outstanding stock of 1847 Holdco as of the closing date.

The cash portion was decreased by the amount of outstanding indebtedness of Goedeker Television for borrowed money existing as of the closing. As a result, the cash portion was adjusted to $478,000. In addition, the cash portion of the purchase price is subject to a customary post-closing working capital adjustment provision with a target working capital of $(1,802,000) (negative amount).

 

Pursuant to the asset purchase agreement, the parties agreed to cooperate in determining a reasonable arrangement designed to provide Goedeker with the benefits under a digital marketing agreement between Goedeker Television and Power Digital Marketing. In consideration for Goedeker Television so cooperating, Goedeker agreed to pay to Goedeker Television a total of $20,000, which amount Goedeker Television will use to pay Power Digital Marketing for amounts due under the digital marketing agreement for services to be rendered during the months of April 2019 and May 2019. Goedeker Television also agreed to cause the digital marketing agreement to be terminated as of May 30, 2019 to ensure that Goedeker Television no longer has any obligations under the digital marketing agreement.

 

Goedeker Television is also entitled to receive the following earn out payments to the extent the Goedeker Business achieves the applicable EBITDA (as defined in the asset purchase agreement) targets:

 

1.An earn out payment of $200,000 if the EBITDA of the Goedeker Business for the trailing twelve (12) month period from the closing date is $2,500,000 or greater;

 

2.An earn out payment of $200,000 if the EBITDA of the Goedeker Business for the trailing twelve (12) month period from the first anniversary of closing date is $2,500,000 or greater; and

 

3.An earn out payment of $200,000 if the EBITDA of the Goedeker Business for the trailing twelve (12) month period from the second anniversary of the closing date is $2,500,000 or greater.

 

To the extent the EBITDA of the Goedeker Business for any applicable period is less than $2,500,000 but greater than $1,500,000, Goedeker must pay a partial earn out payment to Goedeker Television in an amount equal to the product determined by multiplying (i) the EBITDA Achievement Percentage by (ii) the applicable earn out payment for such period, where the “Achievement Percentage” is the percentage determined by dividing (A) the amount of (i) the EBITDA of the Goedeker Business for the applicable period less (ii) $1,500,000, by (B) $1,000,000. For avoidance of doubt, no partial earn out payments shall be earned or paid to the extent the EBITDA of the Goedeker Business for any applicable period is equal or less than $1,500,000.

 

To the extent Goedeker Television is entitled to all or a portion of an earn out payment, the applicable earn out payment(s) (or portion thereof) shall be paid on the date that is three (3) years from the closing date, and shall accrue interest from the date on which it is determined Goedeker Television is entitled to such earn out payment (or portion thereof) at a rate equal to five percent (5%) per annum, computed on the basis of a 360 day year for the actual number of days elapsed.

 

The rights of Goedeker Television to receive any earn out payment are subordinate to the rights of Burnley and SBCC under separate subordination agreements that Goedeker Television entered into with them on April 5, 2019 in connection with the Acquisition (see Notes 10 and 11).

 

The provisional fair value of the purchase consideration issued to Goedeker Television was allocated to the net tangible assets acquired. The Company accounted for the Acquisition as the purchase of a business under GAAP under the acquisition method of accounting, and the assets and liabilities acquired were recorded as of the acquisition date, at their respective fair values and consolidated with those of the Company. The fair value of the net assets acquired was approximately $535,940. The excess of the aggregate fair value of the net tangible assets has been allocated to goodwill.

 

The Company is currently in the process of completing the preliminary purchase price allocation as an acquisition of certain assets. The final purchase price allocation for Goedeker will be included in the Company’s financial statements in future periods.

NOTE 10—LINES OF CREDIT

 

Burnley Capital LLC

 

On April 5, 2019, Goedeker, as borrower, and 1847 Holdco entered into a loan and security agreement with Burnley Capital LLC (“Burnley”) for revolving loans in an aggregate principal amount that will not exceed the lesser of (i) the borrowing base or (ii) $1,500,000 (provided that such amount may be increased to $3,000,000 in Burnley’s sole discretion) minus reserves established Burnley at any time in accordance with the loan and security agreement. The “borrowing base” means an amount equal to the sum of the following: (i) the product of 85% multiplied by the liquidation value of Goedeker’s inventory (net of all liquidation costs) identified in the most recent inventory appraisal by an appraiser acceptable to Burnley (ii) multiplied by Goedeker’s eligible inventory (as defined in the loan and security agreement), valued at the lower of cost or market value, determined on a first-in-first-out basis. In connection with the closing of the Acquisition on April 5, 2019, Goedeker borrowed $744,000 under the loan and security agreement and issued a revolving note to Burnley in the principal amount of up to $1,500,000. The balance of the line of credit amounts to $576,962 as of September 30, 2019, comprised of principal of $675,295 and net of unamortized debt discount of $98,333.

1847 HOLDINGS LLC

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

SEPTEMBER 30, 2019

(UNAUDITED)

 

The revolving note matures on April 5, 2022, provided that at Burnley’s sole and absolute discretion, it may agree to extend the maturity date for two successive terms of one year each. The revolving note bears interest at a per annum rate equal to the greater of (i) the LIBOR Rate (as defined in the loan and security agreement) plus 6.00% or (ii) 8.50%; provided that upon an event of default (as defined below) all loans, all past due interest and all fees shall bear interest at a per annum rate equal to the foregoing rate plus 3.00%. Goedeker shall pay interest accrued on the revolving note in arrears on the last day of each month commencing on April 30, 2019.

 

Goedeker may at any time and from time to time prepay the revolving note in whole or in part. If at any time the outstanding principal balance on the revolving note exceeds the lesser of (i) the difference of the total loan amount minus any reserves and (ii) the borrowing base, then Goedeker shall immediately prepay the revolving note in an aggregate amount equal to such excess. In addition, in the event and on each occasion that any net proceeds (as defined in the loan and security agreement) are received by or on behalf of Goedeker or 1847 Holdco in respect of any prepayment event following the occurrence and during the continuance of an event of default, Goedeker shall, immediately after such net proceeds are received, prepay the revolving note in an aggregate amount equal to 100% of such net proceeds. A “prepayment event” means (i) any sale, transfer, merger, liquidation or other disposition (including pursuant to a sale and leaseback transaction) of any property of Goedeker or 1847 Holdco; (ii) a change of control (as defined in the loan and security agreement); (iii) any casualty or other insured damage to, or any taking under power of eminent domain or by condemnation or similar proceeding of, any property of Goedeker or 1847 Holdco with a fair value immediately prior to such event equal to or greater than $25,000; (iv) the issuance by Goedeker of any capital stock or the receipt by Goedeker of any capital contribution; or (v) the incurrence by Goedeker or 1847 Holdco of any indebtedness (as defined in the loan and security agreement), other than indebtedness permitted under the loan and security agreement.

 

Under the loan and security agreement, Goedeker is required to pay a number of fees to Burnley, including the following:

 

a commitment fee during the period from closing to the earlier of the maturity date or termination of Burnley’s commitment to make loans under the loan and security agreement, which shall accrue at the rate of 0.50% per annum on the average daily difference of the total loan amount then in effect minus the sum of the outstanding principal balance of the revolving note, which such accrued commitment fees are due and payable in arrears on the first day of each calendar month and on the date on which Burnley’s commitment to make loans under the loan and security agreement terminates, commencing on the first such date to occur after the closing date;

 

an annual loan facility fee equal to 0.75% of the revolving commitment (i.e., the maximum amount that Goedeker may borrow under the revolving loan), which is fully earned on the closing date for the term of the loan (including any extension) but shall be due and payable on each anniversary of the closing date;

 

a monthly collateral management fee for monitoring and servicing the revolving loan equal to $1,700 per month for the term of revolving note, which is fully earned and non-refundable as of the date of the loan and security agreement, but shall be payable monthly in arrears on the first day of each calendar month; provided that payment of the collateral management fee may be made, at the discretion of Burnley, by application of advances under the revolving loan or directly by Goedeker; and

 

if the revolving loan is terminated for any reason, including by Burnley following an event of default, then Goedeker shall pay, as liquidated damages and compensation for the costs of being prepared to make funds available, an amount equal to the applicable percentage multiplied by the revolving commitment (i.e., the maximum amount that Goedeker may borrow under the revolving loan), wherein the term applicable percentage means (i) 3%, in the case of a termination on or prior to the first anniversary of the closing date, (ii) 2%, in the case of a termination after the first anniversary of the closing date but on or prior to the second anniversary thereof, and (iii) 0.5%, in the case of a termination after the second anniversary of the closing date but on or prior to the maturity date.

The loan and security agreement contains customary events of default, including, among others: (i) for failure to pay principal and interest on the revolving note when due, or to pay any fees due under the loan and security agreement; (ii) if any representation, warranty or certification in the loan and security agreement or any document delivered in connection therewith is incorrect in any material respect; (iii) for failure to perform any covenant or agreement contained in the loan and security agreement or any document delivered in connection therewith; (iv) for the occurrence of any default in respect of any other indebtedness of more than $100,000; (v) for any voluntary or involuntary bankruptcy, insolvency or dissolution; (vi) for the occurrence of one or more judgments, non-interlocutory orders, decrees or arbitration awards involving in the aggregate a liability of $25,000 or more; (vii) if Goedeker or 1847 Holdco, or officer thereof, is charged by a governmental authority, criminally indicted or convicted of a felony under any law that would reasonably be expected to lead to forfeiture of any material portion of collateral, or such entity is subject to an injunction restraining it from conducting its business; (viii) if Burnley determines that a material adverse effect (as defined in the loan and security agreement) has occurred; (ix) if a change of control (as defined in the loan and security agreement) occurs; (x) if there is any material damage to, loss, theft or destruction of property which causes, for more than thirty consecutive days beyond the coverage period of any applicable business interruption insurance, the cessation or substantial curtailment of revenue producing activities; (xi) if there is a loss, suspension or revocation of, or failure to renew any permit if it could reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect; and (xii) for the occurrence of any default or event of default under the term loan with SBCC (as defined below), the 9% subordinated promissory note issued to Goedeker Television, the secured convertible promissory note issued to Leonite (as defined below) or any other debt that is subordinated to the revolving loan.

 

The loan and security agreement contains customary representations, warranties and affirmative and negative financial and other covenants for a loan of this type. The revolving note is secured by a first priority security interest in all of the assets of Goedeker and 1847 Holdco. In connection with such security interest, on April 5, 2019, (i) 1847 Holdco entered into a pledge agreement with Burnley, pursuant to which 1847 Holdco pledged the shares of Goedeker held by it to Burnley, and (ii) Goedeker entered into a deposit account control agreement with Burnley, SBCC and Montgomery Bank relating to the security interest in Goedeker’s bank accounts.

 

In addition, on April 5, 2019, the Company entered into a guaranty with Burnley to guaranty the obligations under the loan and security agreement upon the occurrence of certain prohibited acts described in the guaranty.

 

The rights of Burnley to receive payments under the revolving note are subordinate to the rights of Northpoint (as defined below) under a subordination agreement that Burnley entered into with Northpoint.

 

At September 30, 2019, Goedeker did not meet certain loan covenants under the loan and security agreement. The agreement requires compliance with the following ratios as a percentage of earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization for the twelve-month period ended September 30, 2019. The table below shows the required ratio and actual ratio for such period.

 

Covenant  Actual Ratio  Required Ratio
Total debt ratio  (9.6)x  4.50x
Senior debt ratio  (3.7)x  1.75x
Interest coverage ratio  (0.7)x  1.0x

 

In addition, Goedeker was not in compliance with a requirement with respect to the liquidity ratio, which is the ratio of cash and available borrowings to customer deposits. At September 30, 2019, the actual ratio was 0.24x compared to a requirement of 0.65x

 

The loan and security agreement with SBCC described below contains the same covenants and a cross default provision, whereby a default under the Burnley loan and security agreement triggers a default under the SBCC loan and security agreement. Accordingly, the Company is in technical, not payment default, on these loan and security agreements and has classified such debt as a current liability. The Company has developed plans that will return it to full compliance including a recently received proposal from a new asset-based lender.

 

There are no cross default provisions that would require any other long-term liabilities to be classified as current. Although the 9% subordinated promissory note described below contains a cross default provision that is triggered by the acceleration of the senior debt, such cross default provision would only be triggered for a technical default like the one that occurred if the senior lender accelerated the senior debt, which has not happened.

The loan and security agreement contains customary events of default, including in the event of (i) non-payment, (ii) a breach by Goedeker of any of its representations, warranties or covenants under the loan and security agreement or any other agreement entered into with Northpoint, or (iii) the bankruptcy or insolvency of Goedeker.  The loan and security agreement contains customary representations, warranties and affirmative and negative financial and other covenants for a loan of this type.

 

The Northpoint loans are secured by a security interest in all of the inventory of Goedeker that is manufactured or sold by vendors identified in the loan and security agreement. In connection with the loan and security agreement, on June 24, 2019, 1847 Holdco entered into a guaranty in favor of Northpoint, to guaranty the obligations of Goedeker under the loan and security agreement.

The term note matures on April 5, 2023 and bears interest at the sum of the cash interest rate (defined as 11% per annum) plus the PIK interest rate (defined as 2% per annum); provided that upon an event of default all principal, past due interest and all fees shall bear interest at a per annum rate equal to the cash interest rate and the PIK interest rate, in each case plus 3.00%. Interest accrued at the cash interest rate shall be due and payable in arrears on the last day of each month commencing May 31, 2019. Interest accrued at the PIK interest rate shall be automatically capitalized, compounded and added to the principal amount of the term note on each last day of each quarter unless paid in cash on or prior to the last day of each quarter; provided that (i) interest accrued pursuant to an event of default shall be payable on demand, and (ii) in the event of any repayment or prepayment, accrued interest on the principal amount repaid or prepaid (including interest accrued at the PIK interest rate and not yet added to the principal amount of term note) shall be payable on the date of such repayment or prepayment. Notwithstanding the foregoing, all interest on term note, whether accrued at the cash interest rate or the PIK interest rate, shall be due and payable in cash on the maturity date unless payment is sooner required by the loan and security agreement.

Goedeker may prepay the term note in whole or in part from time to time; provided that if such prepayment occurs (i) prior to the first anniversary of the closing date, Goedeker shall pay SBCC an amount equal to 5.0% of such prepayment, (ii) prior to the second anniversary of the closing date and on or after the first anniversary of the closing date, Goedeker shall pay SBCC an amount equal to 3.0% of such prepayment, or (iii) prior to the third anniversary of the closing date and on or after the second anniversary of the closing date, Goedeker shall pay SBCC an amount equal to 1.0% of such prepayment, in each case as liquidated damages for damages for loss of bargain to SBCC.

The loan and security agreement with SBCC contains the same events of default as the loan and security agreement with Burnley, provided that the reference to the term loan in the cross-default provision refers instead to the revolving loan.

 

The loan and security agreement contains customary representations, warranties and affirmative and negative financial and other covenants for a loan of this type. The term note is secured by a second priority security interest (subordinate to the revolving loan) in all of the assets of Goedeker and 1847 Holdco. In connection with such security interest, on April 5, 2019, (i) 1847 Holdco entered into a pledge agreement with SBCC, pursuant to which 1847 Holdco pledged the shares of Goedeker held by it to SBCC, and (ii) Goedeker entered deposit account control agreement with Burnley, SBCC and Montgomery Bank relating to the security interest in Goedeker’s bank accounts.

 

In addition, on April 5, 2019, the Company entered into a guaranty with SBCC to guaranty the obligations under the loan and security agreement upon the occurrence of certain prohibited acts described in the guaranty.

 

The rights of SBCC to receive payments under the term note are subordinate to the rights of Northpoint and Burnley under separate subordination agreements that SBCC entered into with them.

 

As noted above, the Company is in technical, not payment default, on this loan and security agreement and has classified such debt as a current liability.

 

Home State Bank

 

On June 13, 2018, Neese entered into a term loan agreement with Home State Bank, pursuant to which Neese issued a promissory note to Home State Bank in the principal amount of $3,654,074 with an annual interest rate of 6.85% with covenants to maintain a minimum debt coverage ratio of 1.00 to 1.25 measured at December 31, 2019. Pursuant to the terms of the note, Neese will make semi-annual payments of $302,270 beginning on January 20, 2019 and continuing every six months thereafter until July 20, 2020, the maturity date; provided however, that Neese will pay the note in full immediately upon demand by Home State Bank. The balance of the note amounts to $3,361,499 as of September 30, 2019, comprised of principal of $3,376,757 and net of unamortized debt discount of $15,258.

 

The loan agreement contains customary representations and warranties. Pursuant to the terms of the loan agreement and the note, an “event of default” includes: (i) if Neese fails to make any payment when due under the note; (ii) if Neese fails to comply with or to perform any other term, obligation, covenant or condition contained in the note or in any of the related documents or to comply with or to perform any term, obligation, covenant or condition contained in any other agreement between Home State Bank and Neese; (iii) if Neese defaults under any loan, extension of credit, security agreement, purchase or sales agreement, or any other agreement, in favor of any other creditor or person that may materially affect any of Home State Bank’s property or Neese’s ability to repay the note or perform Neese’s obligations under the note or any of the related documents; (iv) if any warranty, representation or statement made or furnished to Home State Bank by Neese or on Neese’s behalf under the note or the related documents is false or misleading in any material respect; (v) upon the dissolution or termination of Neese’s existence as a going business, the insolvency of Neese, the appointment of a receiver for any part of Neese’s property, any assignment for the benefit of creditors, any type of creditor workout, or the commencement of any proceeding under any bankruptcy or insolvency laws by or against Neese, (vi) upon commencement of foreclosure or forfeiture proceedings by any creditor of Neese or by any governmental agency against any collateral securing the loan; and (vii) if a material adverse change occurs in Neese’s financial condition, or Home State Bank believes the prospect of payment or performance of the note is impaired. If any event of default occurs, all commitments and obligations of Home State Bank immediately will terminate and, at Home State Bank’s option, all indebtedness immediately will become due and payable, all without notice of any kind to Neese. Additionally, upon an event of default, the interest rate on the note will be increased by 3 percentage points. However, in no event will the interest rate exceed the maximum interest rate limitations under applicable law.

 

The loan is secured by inventory, accounts receivable, and certain fixed assets of Neese. The loan agreement limited the payment of interest on certain promissory notes (See Note 14) to $40,000 annually or fees to the Company’s manager. The Company continues to accrue interest and management fee at the contractual amounts. Such accruals (in excess of $40,000 in interest on the promissory notes) are shown as long-term accrued expenses in the accompanying balance sheet as of June 30, 2019.

NOTE 13—PROMISSORY NOTES

 

Secured Convertible Promissory Note

 

On April 5, 2019, the Company, 1847 Holdco and Goedeker (collectively, “1847”) entered into a securities purchase agreement with Leonite Capital LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Leonite”), pursuant to which 1847 issued to Leonite a secured convertible promissory note in the aggregate principal amount of $714,286. As additional consideration for the purchase of the note, (i) the Company issued to Leonite 50,000 common shares, (ii) the Company issued to Leonite a five-year warrant to purchase 200,000 common shares at an exercise price of $1.25 per share (subject to adjustment), which may be exercised on a cashless basis, and (iii) 1847 Holdco issued to Leonite shares of common stock equal to a 7.5% non-dilutable interest in 1847 Holdco.

 

The note carries an original issue discount of $64,286 to cover Leonite’s legal fees, accounting fees, due diligence fees and/or other transactional costs incurred in connection with the purchase of the note. Therefore, the purchase price of the note was $650,000. Furthermore, the Company issued 50,000 shares of common stock valued at $137,500 and a debt-discount related to the warrants valued at $292,673. The company amortized $211,088 of financing costs related to the shares and warrants in the nine months ended September 30, 2019. The remaining net balance of the note at September 30, 2019 is $456,228, comprised of principal of $714,286 and net of unamortized original issuance discount interest of $31,473 and financing costs of $76,250 and unamortized debt discount warrant feature of $150,335.

 

The note bears interest at the rate of the greater of (i) 12% per annum and (ii) the prime rate as set forth in the Wall Street Journal on April 5, 2019 plus 6.5% guaranteed over the holding period on the unconverted principal amount, on the terms set forth in the note (the “Stated Rate”). Any amount of principal or interest on the note which is not paid by the maturity date shall bear interest at the rate at the lesser of 24% per annum or the maximum legal amount permitted by law (the “Default Interest”).

Beginning on May 5, 2019 and on the same day of each and every calendar month thereafter throughout the term of the note, 1847 shall make monthly payments of interest only due under the note to Leonite at the Stated Rate as set forth above. 1847 shall pay to Leonite on an accelerated basis any outstanding principal amount of the note, along with accrued, but unpaid interest, from: (i) net proceeds of any future financings by the Company, but not its subsidiaries, whether debt or equity, or any other financing proceeds, except any transaction having a specific use of proceeds requirement that such proceeds are to be used exclusively to purchase the assets or equity of an unaffiliated business and the proceeds are used accordingly; (ii) net proceeds from any sale of assets of 1847 or any of its subsidiaries other than sales of assets in the ordinary course of business or receipt by 1847 or any of its subsidiaries of any tax credits, subject to rights of Goedeker, or other financing sources of 1847 (including its subsidiaries) existing prior to the date of the note; and (iii) net proceeds from the sale of any assets outside of the ordinary course of business or securities in any subsidiary.

 

The note will mature 12 months from the issue date, or April 5, 2020, at which time the principal amount and all accrued and unpaid interest, if any, and other fees relating to the note, will be due and payable. Unless an event of default as set forth in the note has occurred, 1847 has the right to prepay principal amount of, and any accrued and unpaid interest on, the note at any time prior to the maturity date at 115% of the principal amount (the “Premium”), provided, however, that if the prepayment is the result of any of the occurrence of any of the transactions described in subparagraphs (i), (ii) or (iii) above then such prepayment shall be the unpaid principal amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest and other amounts due but without the Premium.

 

The note contains customary events of default, including in the event of (i) non-payment, (ii) a breach by 1847 of its covenants under the securities purchase agreement or any other agreement entered into in connection with the securities purchase agreement, or a breach of any of representations or warranties under the note, or (iii) the bankruptcy of 1847. The note also contains a cross default provision, whereby a default by 1847 of any covenant or other term or condition contained in any of the other financial instrument issued by of 1847 to Leonite or any other third party after the passage all applicable notice and cure or grace periods that results in a material adverse effect shall, at Leonite’s option, be considered a default under the note, in which event Leonite shall be entitled to apply all rights and remedies under the terms of the note.

 

Under the note, Leonite has the right at any time at its option to convert all or any part of the outstanding and unpaid principal amount and accrued and unpaid interest of the note into fully paid and non-assessable common shares or any shares of capital stock or other securities of the Company into which such common shares may be changed or reclassified. The number of common shares to be issued upon each conversion of the note shall be determined by dividing the conversion amount by the applicable conversion price then in effect. The conversion amount is the sum of: (i) the principal amount of the note to be converted plus (ii) at Leonite’s option, accrued and unpaid interest, plus (iii) at Leonite’s option, Default Interest, if any, plus (iv) Leonite’s expenses relating to a conversion, plus (v) at Leonite’s option, any amounts owed to Leonite. The conversion price shall be $1.00 per share (subject to adjustment as further described in the note for common share distributions and splits, certain fundamental transactions, and anti-dilution adjustments), provided that at any time after any event of default under the note, the conversion price shall immediately be equal to the lesser of (i) such conversion price less 40%; and (ii) the lowest weighted average price of the common shares during the 21 consecutive trading day period immediately preceding the trading day that 1847 receives a notice of conversion or (iii) the discount to market based on subsequent financings with other investors.

 

Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall Leonite be entitled to convert any portion of the note in excess of that portion of the note upon conversion of which the sum of (1) the number of common shares beneficially owned by Leonite and its affiliates (other than common shares which may be deemed beneficially owned through the ownership of the unconverted portion of the note or the unexercised or unconverted portion of any other security of the Company subject to a limitation on conversion or exercise analogous to the limitations contained in the note, and, if applicable, net of any shares that may be deemed to be owned by any person not affiliated with Leonite who has purchased a portion of the note from Leonite) and (2) the number of common shares issuable upon the conversion of the portion of the note with respect to which the determination of this proviso is being made, would result in beneficial ownership by Leonite and its affiliates of more than 4.99% of the outstanding common shares of the Company. Such limitations on conversion may be waived (up to a maximum of 9.99%) by Leonite upon, at its election, not less than 61 days’ prior notice to the Company, and the provisions of the conversion limitation shall continue to apply until such 61st day (or such later date, as determined by Leonite, as may be specified in such notice of waiver).

Concurrently with 1847 and Leonite entering into the securities purchase agreement and as security for 1847’s obligations thereunder, on April 5, 2019, the Company, 1847 Holdco and Goedeker entered into a security and pledge agreement with Leonite, pursuant to which, in order to secure 1847’s timely payment of the note and related obligations and the timely performance of each and all of its covenants and obligations under the securities purchase agreement and related documents, 1847 unconditionally and irrevocably granted, pledged and hypothecated to Leonite a continuing security interest in and to, a lien upon, assignment of, and right of set-off against, all presently existing and hereafter acquired or arising assets. Such security interest is a first priority security interest with respect to the securities that the Company owns in 1847 Holdco and in 1847 Neese, and a third priority security interest with respect to all other assets.

 

The rights of Leonite to receive payments under the note are subordinate to the rights of Northpoint, Burnley and SBCC under separate subordination agreements that Leonite entered into with them.

 

9% Subordinated Promissory Note

 

As noted above, a portion of the purchase price for the Acquisition was paid by the issuance by Goedeker to Steve Goedeker, as representative of Goedeker Television, of a 9% subordinated promissory note in the principal amount of $4,100,000. The note will accrue interest at 9% per annum, amortized on a five-year straight-line basis and payable quarterly in accordance with the amortization schedule attached thereto, and mature on April 5, 2023. Goedeker has the right to redeem all or any portion of the note at any time prior to the maturity date without premium or penalty of any kind. The note contains customary events of default, including in the event of (i) non-payment, (ii) a default by Goedeker of any of its covenants under the asset purchase agreement or any other agreement entered into in connection with the asset purchase agreement, or a breach of any of representations or warranties under such documents, or (iii) the bankruptcy of Goedeker. The note also contains a cross default provision which provides that if there occurs with respect to the revolving loan with Burnley or the term loan with SBCC (A) a default with respect to any payment obligation thereunder that entitles the holder thereof to declare such indebtedness to be due and payable prior to its stated maturity or (B) any other default thereunder that entitles, and has caused, the holder thereof to declare such indebtedness to be due and payable prior to maturity. Since the defaults under the loans with Burnley and SBCC are not payment defaults, they fall under clause (B) above and would require Burnley or SBCC to accelerate the payment of indebtedness under their notes (which they have not done) before the cross default provisions would result in a default under this note.

 

The rights of the holder to receive payments under the note are subordinate to the rights of Northpoint, Burnley and SBCC under separate subordination agreements that the holder entered into with them.

 

The remaining balance of the note at September 30, 2019 is $4,274,209, comprised of principal of $4,530,293 and net of unamortized debt discount of $256,084.

 

8% Vesting Promissory Note

 

A portion of the purchase price for the acquisition of Neese was paid by the issuance of a vesting promissory note in the principal amount of $1,875,000 (which was determined to have no fair value as of September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018) by 1847 Neese and Neese to the sellers of Neese. Payment of the principal and accrued interest on the vesting promissory note is subject to vesting and a contingent consideration subject to fair market valuation adjustment at each reporting period. The vesting promissory note bears interest on the vested portion of the principal amount at the rate of eight percent (8%) per annum and is due and payable in full on June 30, 2020 (the “Maturity Date”). The principal of the vesting promissory note vests in accordance with the following formula:

 

Fiscal Year 2017: If Adjusted EBITDA for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2017, exceeds an Adjusted EBITDA target of $1,300,000 (the “Adjusted EBITDA Target”), then a portion of the principal amount of the vesting promissory note that is equal to sixty percent (60%) of such excess shall vest. Interest shall be payable on such vested portion of principal from January 1, 2017 through the Maturity Date. For the year ended December 31, 2017, Adjusted EBITDA was $788,958, below the threshold amount of $1,300,000, therefore no portion of the note vested in fiscal year 2017.

 

Fiscal Year 2018: If Adjusted EBITDA for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2018, exceeds the Adjusted EBITDA Target, then a portion of the principal amount of the vesting promissory note that is equal to sixty percent (60%) of such excess shall vest. Interest shall be payable on such vested portion of principal from January 1, 2018 through the Maturity Date. For the year ended December 31, 2018, Adjusted EBITDA was approximately $320,000, below the threshold amount of $1,300,000, therefore no portion of the note vested in fiscal year 2018.

  

Fiscal Year 2019: If Adjusted EBITDA for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2019, exceeds the Adjusted EBITDA Target, then a portion of the principal amount of the vesting promissory note that is equal to sixty percent (60%) of such excess shall vest. Interest shall be payable on such vested portion of principal from January 1, 2019 through the Maturity Date.

For purposes of the vesting promissory note, “Adjusted EBITDA” means the earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization expenses, in accordance with GAAP applied on a basis consistent with the accounting policies, practices and procedures used to prepare the financial statements of Neese as of the closing date, plus to the extent deducted in calculating such net income: (i) all expenses related to the transactions contemplated hereby and/or potential or completed future financings or acquisitions, including legal, accounting, due diligence and investment banking fees and expenses; (ii) all management fees, allocations or corporate overhead (including executive compensation) or other administrative costs that arise from the ownership of Neese by 1847 Neese including allocations of supervisory, centralized or other parent-level expense items; (iii) one-time extraordinary expenses or losses; and (iv) any reserves or adjustments to reserves which are not consistent with GAAP. Additionally, for purposes of calculating Adjusted EBITDA, the purchase and sales prices of goods and services sold by or purchased by Neese to or from 1847 Neese, its subsidiaries or affiliates shall be adjusted to reflect the amounts that Neese would have realized or paid if dealing with an independent third-party in an arm’s-length commercial transaction, and inventory items shall be properly categorized as such and shall not be expenses until such inventory is sold or consumed.

 

At June 30, 2018, management made the determination that the vesting note payable had no value because it estimated that the EBITDA threshold of $1,300,000 for both 2018 and 2019 would be not attained, thus eliminating the requirement for a payment under terms of the note payable.

 

The vesting promissory note contains customary events of default, including in the event of: (i) non-payment; (ii) a default by 1847 Neese or Neese of any of their covenants under the stock purchase agreement, the vesting promissory note, or any other agreement entered into in connection with the stock purchase agreement, or a breach of any of their representations or warranties under such documents; or (iii) the bankruptcy of 1847 Neese or Neese.

 

Under terms of the term loan with Home State Bank described in Note 11, this note may not be paid until the term loan is paid in full.

 

10% Promissory Note

 

A portion of the purchase price for the acquisition of Neese was paid by the issuance of a promissory note in the principal amount of $1,025,000 by 1847 Neese and Neese to the sellers of Neese. The promissory note bears interest on the outstanding principal amount at the rate of ten percent (10%) per annum and was due and payable in full on March 3, 2018; provided, however, that the unpaid principal, and all accrued, but unpaid, interest thereon shall be prepaid if at any time, and from time to time, the cash on hand of 1847 Neese and Neese exceeds $250,000 and, then, the prepayment shall be equal to the amount of cash in excess of $200,000 until the unpaid principal and accrued, but unpaid, interest thereon is fully prepaid. The promissory note contains the same events of default as the vesting promissory note. The promissory note has not been repaid, thus the Company is in default under this note. Under terms of the term loan with Home State Bank described in Note 11, this note may not be paid until the term loan is paid in full. The payees on the note agreed to the modification of its terms by signing the loan agreement for the Home State Bank term loan. Accordingly, the loan is shown as a long-term liability as of June 30, 2019. Additionally, the term loan lender limits the payment of interest on this note to $40,000 annually. The Company continues to accrue interest at the contract rate; however, given the limitations of the term loan, all accrued interest in excess of $40,000 is included in long-term accrued expenses.

NOTE 14—FINANCING LEASES

 

The cash portion of the purchase price for the acquisition of Neese was financed under a capital lease transaction for Neese’s equipment with Utica Leaseco, LLC (“Utica”), pursuant to a master lease agreement, dated March 3, 2017, between Utica, as lessor, and 1847 Neese and Neese, as co-lessees (collectively, the “Lessee”). Under the master lease agreement, Utica loaned an aggregate of $3,240,000 for certain of Neese’s equipment listed therein, which it leases to the Lessee. The initial term of the master lease agreement was for 51 months. Under the master lease agreement, the Lessee agreed to pay a monthly rent of $53,000 for the first three (3) months, with such amount increasing to $85,322 for the remaining forty-eight (48) months.

 

On June 14, 2017, the parties entered into a first amendment to lease documents, pursuant to which the parties agreed to, among other things, extend the term of the master lease agreement from 51 months to 57 months and amend the payments due thereunder. Under the amendment, the Lessee agreed to pay a monthly rent of $53,000 for the first ten (10) months, with such amount increasing to $85,322 for the remaining forty-seven (47) months. In connection with the extension of the term of the master lease agreement, the parties also amended the schedule of stipulated loss values and early termination payment schedule attached thereto. In connection with the amendment, the Lessee agreed to pay Utica an amendment fee of $2,500.

 

On October 31, 2017, the parties entered into a second equipment schedule to the master lease agreement, pursuant to which Utica loaned an aggregate of $980,000 for certain of Neese’s equipment listed therein. The term of the second equipment schedule is 51 months and agreed monthly payments are $25,807.

 

If any rent is not received by Utica within five (5) calendar days of the due date, the Lessee shall pay a late charge equal to ten (10%) percent of the amount. In addition, in the event that any payment is not processed or is returned on the basis of insufficient funds, upon demand, the Lessee shall pay Utica a charge equal to five percent (5%) of the amount of such payment. The Lessee is also required to pay an annual administration fee of $5,000. Upon the expiration of the term of the master lease agreement, the Lessee is required to pay, together with all other amounts then due and payable under the master lease agreement, in cash, an end of term buyout price equal to the lesser of: (a) $162,000 (five percent (5%) of the total invoice cost (as defined in the master lease agreement)); or (b) the fair market value of the equipment, as determined by Utica. Upon the expiration of the master lease agreement, the Lessee is required to pay, together with all other amounts then due and payable under the master lease agreement, in cash, an end of term buyout price equal to the lesser of: (a) $49,000 (five percent (5%) of the total invoice cost); or (b) the fair market value of the equipment, as determined by Utica.

 

Provided that no default under the master lease agreement has occurred and is continuing beyond any applicable grace or cure period, the Lessee has an early buy-out option with respect to all but not less than all of the equipment, upon the payment of any outstanding rental payments or other fees then due, plus an additional amount set forth in the master lease agreement, which represents the anticipated fair market value of the equipment as of the anticipated end date of the master lease agreement. In addition, the Lessee shall pay to Utica an administrative charge to be determined by Utica to cover its time and expenses incurred in connection with the exercise of the option to purchase, including, but not limited to, reasonable attorney fees and costs. Furthermore, upon the exercise by the Lessee of this option to purchase the equipment, the Lessee shall pay all sales and transfer taxes and all fees payable to any governmental authority as a result of the transfer of title of the equipment to Lessee. The early buy-out option was not available on the second equipment schedule to the master lease agreement until after December 31, 2018.

 

In connection with the master lease agreement, the Lessee granted a security interest on all of its right, title and interest in and to: (i) the equipment, together with all related software (embedded therein or otherwise) and general intangibles, all additions, attachments, accessories and accessions thereto whether or not furnished by the supplier; (ii) all accounts, chattel paper, deposit accounts, documents, other equipment, general intangibles, instruments, inventory, investment property, letter of credit rights and any supporting obligations related to any of the foregoing; (iii) all books and records pertaining to the foregoing; (iv) all property of such Lessee held by Utica, including all property of every description, in the custody of or in transit to Utica for any purpose, including safekeeping, collection or pledge, for the account of such Lessee or as to which such Lessee may have any right or power, including but not limited to cash; and (v) to the extent not otherwise included, all insurance, substitutions, replacements, exchanges, accessions, proceeds and products of the foregoing.

 

On February 1, 2018, Utica agreed to continue the $53,000 payments for three additional months and extend the maturity of the loan by three months. Additionally, Utica agreed to defer the February 3, 2018 payment to February 20, 2018. The Company paid one-half the normal late fee, $2,650 for the late payment. On March 2, 2018, Utica agreed to defer the March 3 payment to March 30, 2018. The Company paid a late payment fee of $5,300 for the payment deferral.

On April 18, 2018, Utica, the Lessee, and Ellery W. Roberts, as guarantor under the master lease agreement, entered into a forbearance agreement relating to the non-payment of certain rent payments due under the master lease agreement for the months of March 2018 and April 2018. Pursuant to the forbearance agreement, Utica agreed to forbear from demanding payment in full and exercising its remedies under the master lease agreement until June 3, 2018. Pursuant to the forbearance agreement, the Lessee agreed to, among other things, (i) make the payments set forth in the forbearance agreement on or before the dates specified therein, totaling $173,376, (ii) be current on all rent due under Schedule 1 of the master lease agreement by June 3, 2018 and be current on all rent due under Schedule 2 of the master lease agreement by May 30, 2018, (ii) reinstate or renew and continue in effect all insurance as required under the master lease agreement at Lessee’s sole cost and expense, (iv) pay a forbearance fee to Utica totaling $4,500, which shall not be due until termination of the master lease agreement and (v) execute a surrender agreement with respect to the Lessee’s equipment, which will be held in escrow by Utica and not deemed effective unless and until the earlier to occur of: (a) the June 3, 2018, provided liabilities under master lease agreement remain due but unpaid; (b) such time as Utica accelerates due and unpaid liabilities pursuant to the term of the forbearance agreement and the master lease agreement; or (c) a default occurs under the forbearance agreement or the master lease agreement.

 

A portion of the proceeds from the term loan from Home State Bank (Note 11) were applied to reduce the balance of this lease to $475,000. The lease is payable in 46 payments of $12,882 beginning July 3, 2018 and an end-of-term buyout of $38,000. As a result, the parties to the forbearance agreement agreed that the forbearance agreement is terminated and is no longer in effect. In completing the early payout, the Company incurred a loss of $405,674 plus an additional loss of $95,130 from the write-off of unamortized debt issuance costs. The loss on early extinguishment of debt arose from the buyout provisions in the lease and because the Company had delayed making the regular payment of $85,322 until May 3, 2018, rather than July 3, 2017 as contemplated in the original master lease agreement. Management chose to close the term loan because of the much lower interest rate and the loan allows the Company to make payments that match its operating cycle rather than monthly payments.

 

If the Company sells equipment or inventory, it must remit to Utica the amount loaned against the equipment. Such payments are accumulated and applied to the balance at the end of the lease term. During the three months ended September 30, 2019, $116,067 of payments and $0 of lien release payments were remitted to Utica.

 

The assets and liabilities under the master lease agreement are recorded at the fair value of the assets at the time of acquisition.  

 

The Company adopted ASU 2015-03 by deducting $28,070 of net debt issuance costs from the long-term portion of the financing lease. Amortization of debt issuance costs totaled $3,015 for the three months ended September 30, 2019.

 

At June 30, 2019, annual minimum future lease payments under this Master Lease Agreement are as follows:

 

   Amount 
2019 (remainder of year)  $141,875 
2020   464,269 
2021   464,269

NOTE 15—OPERATING LEASE

 

On March 3, 2017, Neese entered into an agreement of lease with K&A Holdings, LLC, a limited liability company that is wholly-owned by officers of Neese. The agreement of lease is for a term of ten (10) years and provides for a base rent of $8,333 per month. In the event of late payment, interest shall accrue on the unpaid amount at the rate of eighteen percent (18%) per annum. The agreement of lease contains customary events of default, including if Neese shall fail to pay rent within five (5) days after the due date, or if Neese shall fail to perform any other terms, covenants or conditions under the agreement of lease, and other customary representations, warranties and covenants. Under terms of the term loan agreement with Home State Bank (Note 11), the Company may not pay salary or rent to such officers of Neese in excess of $100,000 per year beginning on the date of the term loan agreement, June 13, 2018. The Company is accruing monthly rent, but because of the limitation in the term loan, $183,333 of accrued rent is classified as a long-term accrued liability.

Pursuant to the offsetting management services agreement, Goedeker appointed the Manager to provide certain services to it for a quarterly management fee equal to the greater of $62,500 or 2% of adjusted net assets (as defined in the management services agreement); provided, however, that (i) pro rated payments shall be made in the first quarter and the last quarter of the term, (ii) if the aggregate amount of management fees paid or to be paid by Goedeker, together with all other management fees paid or to be paid by all other subsidiaries of the Company to the Manager, in each case, with respect to any fiscal year exceeds, or is expected to exceed, 9.5% of the Company’s gross income with respect to such fiscal year, then the management fee to be paid by Goedeker for any remaining fiscal quarters in such fiscal year shall be reduced, on a pro rata basis determined by reference to the management fees to be paid to the Manager by all of the subsidiaries of the Company, until the aggregate amount of the management fee paid or to be paid by Goedeker, together with all other management fees paid or to be paid by all other subsidiaries of the Company to the Manager, in each case, with respect to such fiscal year, does not exceed 9.5% of the Company’s gross income with respect to such fiscal year, and (iii) if the aggregate amount the management fee paid or to be paid by Goedeker, together with all other management fees paid or to be paid by all other subsidiaries of the Company to the Manager, in each case, with respect to any fiscal quarter exceeds, or is expected to exceed, the aggregate amount of the Parent Management Fee with respect to such fiscal quarter, then the management fee to be paid by Goedeker for such fiscal quarter shall be reduced, on a pro rata basis, until the aggregate amount of the management fee paid or to be paid by Goedeker, together with all other management fees paid or to be paid by all other subsidiaries of the Company to the Manager, in each case, with respect to such fiscal quarter, does not exceed the Parent Management Fee calculated and payable with respect to such fiscal quarter.

Grid Promissory Note

 

On January 3, 2018, the Company issued a grid promissory note to the Manager in the initial principal amount of $50,000. The note provides that the Company may from time to time request additional advances from the Manager up to an aggregate additional amount of $100,000, which will be added to the note if the Manager, in its sole discretion, so provides. Interest shall accrue on the unpaid portion of the principal amount and the unpaid portion of all advances outstanding at a fixed rate of 8% per annum, and along with the outstanding portion of the principal amount and the outstanding portion of all advances, shall be payable in one lump sum due on the maturity date, which is the first anniversary of the date of the note.

NOTE 17—SHAREHOLDERS’ DEFICIT

 

Allocation Shares

 

As of September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, the Company had authorized and outstanding 1,000 allocation shares. These allocation shares do not entitle the holder thereof to vote on any matter relating to the Company other than in connection with amendments to the Company’s operating agreement and in connection with certain other corporate transactions as specified in the operating agreement.

 

The Manager owns 100% of the allocation shares of the Company, which are a separate class of limited liability company interests that, together with the common shares, will comprise all of the classes of equity interests of the Company. The Manager received the allocation shares with its initial capitalization of the Company. The allocation shares generally will entitle the Manager to receive a twenty percent (20%) profit allocation as a form of incentive designed to align the interests of the Manager with those of the Company’s shareholders. Profit allocation has two components: an equity-based component and a distribution-based component. The equity-based component will be paid when the market for the Company’s shares appreciates, subject to certain conditions and adjustments. The distribution-based component will be paid when the distributions the Company pays to shareholders exceed an annual hurdle rate of eight percent (8.0%), subject to certain conditions and adjustments. While the equity-based component and distribution-based component are interrelated in certain respects, each component may independently result in a payment of profit allocation if the relevant conditions to payment are satisfied.

 

The 1,000 allocation shares are issued and outstanding and held by the Manager, which is controlled by Mr. Roberts, the Company’s chief executive officer and controlling shareholder.

As of September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, the Company had 3,165,625 and 3,115,625 common shares issued and outstanding, respectively. The common shares entitle the holder thereof to one vote per share on all matters coming before the shareholders of the Company for a vote.

Warrants

 

On April 5, 2019, the Company issued a warrant to purchase 200,000 common shares to Leonite pursuant to the securities purchase agreement (see Note 13). The warrant has a term of five years, an exercise price of $1.25 per share (subject to adjustment), and may be exercised on a cashless basis.

 

Accordingly, a portion of the proceeds was allocated to the warrant based on its relative fair value using the Black Scholes option-pricing model. The assumptions used in the Black-Scholes model are as follows: (i) dividend yield of 0%; (ii) expected volatility of 140.3%, (iii) weighted average risk-free interest rate of 2.31%, (iv) expected life of five years, and (v) estimated fair value of the common shares of $2.75 per share.

 

The warrant also contains an ownership limitation. The Company shall not effect any exercise of the warrant, and Leonite shall not have the right to exercise any portion of the warrant, to the extent that after giving effect to issuance of common shares upon exercise the warrant, Leonite, together with its affiliates, and any other persons acting as a group together with Leonite or any of its affiliates, would beneficially own in excess of 4.99% of the number of common shares outstanding immediately after giving effect to the issuance of common shares issuable upon exercise of the warrant.  Upon no fewer than 61 days’ prior notice to the Company, Leonite may increase or decrease such beneficial ownership limitation provisions and any such increase or decrease will not be effective until the 61st day after such notice is delivered to the Company. 

 

Noncontrolling Interests

 

The Company owns 55.0% of 1847 Neese and 70% of 1847 Holdco.  For financial interests in which the Company owns a controlling financial interest, the Company applies the provisions of ASC 810, which are applicable to reporting the equity and net income or loss attributable to noncontrolling interests. The results of 1847 Neese and 1847 Holdco are included in the consolidated statement of income. The net loss attributable to the 45% non-controlling interest of 1847 Neese amounted to $628,210 and $624,448 for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively.

Overview

 

We are an acquisition holding company focused on acquiring and managing a group of small businesses, which we characterize as those that have an enterprise value of less than $50 million, in a variety of different industries headquartered in North America. To date, we have completed two acquisitions.

 

In March 2017, our subsidiary 1847 Neese Inc., or 1847 Neese, acquired Neese, Inc., or Neese. Headquartered in Grand Junction, Iowa and founded in 1991, Neese is an established business specializing in providing a wide range of land application services and selling equipment and parts, primarily to the agricultural industry, but also to the construction and lawn and garden industries. Neese’s revenue mix is composed of waste disposal and a variety of agricultural services, wholesaling of agricultural equipment and parts, local trucking services, various shop services, and other products and services. Services to the local agricultural and farming communities include manure spreading, land rolling, bin whipping, cleaning of bulk storage bins and silos, equipment rental, trucking, vacuuming, building erection, and others.

 

In April 2019, we acquired substantially all of the assets of Goedeker Television Co., or Goedeker Television, through our subsidiary 1847 Goedeker Inc., or Goedeker, which now operates the prior business of Goedeker Television, a Missouri corporation founded in 1951. Headquartered in St. Louis, Missouri, Goedeker is a one-stop e-commerce destination for home furnishings, including appliances, furniture, bath and kitchen fixtures, décor, lighting and home goods.

 

Through our structure, we plan to offer investors an opportunity to participate in the ownership and growth of a portfolio of businesses that traditionally have been owned and managed by private equity firms, private individuals or families, financial institutions or large conglomerates. We believe that our management and acquisition strategies will allow us to achieve our goals to begin making and growing regular monthly distributions to our common shareholders and increasing common shareholder value over time.

 

We seek to acquire controlling interests in small businesses that we believe operate in industries with long-term macroeconomic growth opportunities, and that have positive and stable earnings and cash flows, face minimal threats of technological or competitive obsolescence and have strong management teams largely in place. We believe that private company operators and corporate parents looking to sell their businesses will consider us to be an attractive purchaser of their businesses. We intend to make these future businesses our majority-owned subsidiaries and intend to actively manage and grow such businesses. We expect to improve our businesses over the long term through organic growth opportunities, add-on acquisitions and operational improvements.

 

Management Fees

 

We entered into a management services agreement with our manager on April 15, 2013, pursuant to which we are required to pay our manager a quarterly management fee equal to 0.5% (2.0% annualized) of our adjusted net assets for services performed.

 

In addition, 1847 Neese entered into an offsetting management services agreement with our manager on March 3, 2017 and Goedeker entered into an offsetting management services agreement with our manager on April 5, 2019. Pursuant to the offsetting management services agreements, 1847 Neese appointed our manager to provide certain services to it for a quarterly management fee equal to $62,500 per quarter and Goedeker appointed our manager to provide certain services to it for a quarterly management fee equal to the greater of $62,500 or 2% of adjusted net assets (as defined in the management services agreement); provided, however, that (i) pro rated payments shall be made in the first quarter and the last quarter of the term, (ii) if the aggregate amount of management fees paid or to be paid by 1847 Neese or Goedeker, together with all other management fees paid or to be paid by all other subsidiaries of our company to our manager, in each case, with respect to any fiscal year exceeds, or is expected to exceed, 9.5% of our gross income with respect to such fiscal year, then the management fee to be paid by 1847 Neese or Goedeker for any remaining fiscal quarters in such fiscal year shall be reduced, on a pro rata basis determined by reference to the management fees to be paid to our manager by all of the subsidiaries of our company, until the aggregate amount of the management fee paid or to be paid by 1847 Neese or Goedeker, together with all other management fees paid or to be paid by all other subsidiaries of our company to our manager, in each case, with respect to such fiscal year, does not exceed 9.5% of our gross income with respect to such fiscal year, and (iii) if the aggregate amount the management fee paid or to be paid by 1847 Neese or Goedeker, together with all other management fees paid or to be paid by all other subsidiaries of our company to our manager, in each case, with respect to any fiscal quarter exceeds, or is expected to exceed, the aggregate amount of the management fee (before any adjustment thereto) calculated and payable under the management services agreement, which we refer to as the parent management fee, with respect to such fiscal quarter, then the management fee to be paid by 1847 Neese or Goedeker for such fiscal quarter shall be reduced, on a pro rata basis, until the aggregate amount of the management fee paid or to be paid by 1847 Neese or Goedeker, together with all other management fees paid or to be paid by all other subsidiaries of our company to our manager, in each case, with respect to such fiscal quarter, does not exceed the parent management fee calculated and payable with respect to such fiscal quarter.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, under terms of the term loan from Home State Bank described below, no fees may be paid to our manager without permission of the bank, which our manager does not expect to be granted within the forthcoming year. Accordingly, $388,308 due our manager is classified as a long-term accrued liability as of September 30, 2019.

 

In addition, payment of the management fee to Goedeker is subordinated to the payment of interest on the 9% subordinated promissory note described below, such that no payment of the management fee may be made if Goedeker is in default under the note with regard to interest payments and, for the avoidance of doubt, such payment of the management fee will be contingent on Goedeker being in good standing on all associated loan covenants. In addition, during the period that that any amounts are owed under the 9% subordinated promissory note or the earn out payments to Goedeker Television described below, the annual management fee shall be capped at $250,000.

 

The rights of our manager to receive payments are also subordinate to the rights of Burnley and SBCC (each as defined below) under separate subordination agreements that our manager entered into with Burnley and SBCC on April 5, 2019.

 

Segments

 

We have two reportable segments: land management services and retail and appliances. Additionally, unallocated shared-service costs, which include various corporate level expenses and other governance functions, are presented as corporate services.

 

The land management services segment, operated by Neese, is comprised of an established business specializing in providing a wide range of land application services and selling equipment and parts, primarily to the agricultural industry in Iowa, but also to the construction and lawn and garden industries. The land management services segment is composed of waste disposal and a variety of agricultural services, wholesaling of agricultural equipment and parts, local trucking services, various shop services, and other products and services.

 

The retail and appliances segment, operated by Goedeker, is comprised of retail store and an e-commerce destination for home furnishings, including appliances, furniture, bath and kitchen fixtures, décor, lighting and home goods based in St. Louis, Missouri.

 

Emerging Growth Company

 

We qualify as an “emerging growth company” under the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012, or the JOBS Act. As a result, we are permitted to, and intend to, rely on exemptions from certain disclosure requirements. For so long as we are an emerging growth company, we will not be required to:

 

  have an auditor report on our internal controls over financial reporting pursuant to Section 404(b) of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act;

 

  comply with any requirement that may be adopted by the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board regarding mandatory audit firm rotation or a supplement to the auditor’s report providing additional information about the audit and the financial statements (i.e., an auditor discussion and analysis);

 

  submit certain executive compensation matters to shareholder advisory votes, such as “say-on-pay” and “say-on-frequency;” and

 

  disclose certain executive compensation related items such as the correlation between executive compensation and performance and comparisons of the chief executive officer’s compensation to median employee compensation.

 

In addition, Section 107 of the JOBS Act also provides that an emerging growth company can take advantage of the extended transition period provided in Section 7(a)(2)(B) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, for complying with new or revised accounting standards. In other words, an emerging growth company can delay the adoption of certain accounting standards until those standards would otherwise apply to private companies. We have elected to take advantage of the benefits of this extended transition period. Our financial statements may therefore not be comparable to those of companies that comply with such new or revised accounting standards.

 

We will remain an “emerging growth company” until December 31, 2019.

Total revenue. Our total revenue was $13,544,365 for the three months ended September 30, 2019, including $12,132,103 from our new retail and appliances segment, as compared to $1,466,514 for the three months ended September 30, 2018.

 

The land management services segment generates revenue through the provision of waste disposal and a variety of land application services, wholesaling of agricultural equipment and parts, local trucking services, various shop services, and other products and services. Revenue from the land management segment decreased by $54,252 or 3.7%, to $1,412,262 for the three months ended September 30, 2019 from $1,466,514 for the three months ended September 30, 2018. Such decrease resulted from a $141,419 decrease in services revenue, offset by a $87,167 increase in sales of parts and equipment. The decrease in services revenue was primarily due to a $184,295 decline in trucking revenue primarily attributable to decline in revenue from one customer in 2019 compared to 2018.

 

The retail and appliances segment generates revenue through the sales of home furnishings, including appliances, furniture, bath and kitchen fixtures, décor, lighting and home goods.

Cost of sales. Cost of sales for the land management services segment consist of the direct costs of our equipment and parts. Cost of sales for the retail and appliances segment consist of the cost of purchased merchandise plus the cost of delivering merchandise and where applicable installation, net of promotional rebates and other incentives received from vendors. Our total cost of sales was $10,709,830 for the three months ended September 30, 2019, including $10,113,543 from our new retail and appliances segment, as compared to $478,195 for the three months ended September 30, 2018.

The increase in cost of sales is attributable to the increase in sales of parts and equipment and an increase in the gross profit percentage.

 

Personnel costs. Personnel costs include employee salaries and bonuses plus related payroll taxes. It also includes health insurance premiums, 401(k) contributions, and training costs. Our personnel costs were $1,501,428 for the three months ended September 30, 2019, including $980,620 from our new retail and appliances segment, as compared to $513,912 for the three months ended September 30, 2018.

The decrease in fuel is the result of a slight decline in market prices for fuel and the timing of fuel purchases and the decline in trucking revenue.

 

General and administrative expenses. Our general and administrative expenses consist primarily of professional advisor fees, bad debts reserve, rent expense, advertising, bank fees, and other expenses incurred in connection with general operations. Our total general and administrative expenses increased by $1,629,903, or 488.4%, to $1,963,599 for the three months ended September 30, 2019, including $1,579,659 from our new retail and appliances segment, from $333,696 for the three months ended September 30, 2018.

Such increase resulted from an $367,363 increase in sales of parts and equipment, offset by a $249,322 decrease in services revenue. The decrease in services revenue was primarily due to a decline in trucking revenue of $317,657 primarily attributable to the loss of revenue from one customer.

The decrease was due to a decrease in professional fees compared to the prior year period.

 

Total other income (expense). We had $1,046,878 in total other expense, net, for the nine months ended September 30, 2019, as compared to other expense, net, of $548,477 for the nine months ended September 30, 2018.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

As of September 30, 2019, we had cash and cash equivalents of $197,048. To date, we have financed our operations primarily through cash proceeds from financing activities, borrowings and equity contributions by our shareholders.

 

Although we do not believe that we will require additional cash to continue our operations over the next twelve months (i.e., we do not believe that there is a going concern issue), we do believe additional funds are required to execute our business plan and our strategy of acquiring additional businesses. The funds required to execute our business plan will depend on the size, capital structure and purchase price consideration that the seller of a target business deems acceptable in a given transaction. The amount of funds needed to execute our business plan also depends on what portion of the purchase price of a target business the seller of that business is willing to take in the form of seller notes or equity of our company or one of our subsidiaries. Given these factors, we believe that the amount of outside additional capital necessary to execute our business plan on the low end (assuming target company sellers accept a significant portion of the purchase price in the form of seller notes or equity in our company or one of our subsidiaries) ranges between $100,000 to $250,000. If, and to the extent, that sellers are unwilling to accept a significant portion of the purchase price in seller notes and equity, then the cash required to execute our business plan could be as much as $5,000,000. We will seek growth as funds become available from cash flow, borrowings, additional capital raised privately or publicly, or seller retained financing.

 

Our primary use of funds will be for future acquisitions, public company expenses including monthly distributions to our shareholders, investments in future acquisitions, payments to our manager pursuant to the management services agreement, potential payment of profit allocation to our manager and potential put price to our manager in respect of the allocation shares it owns. The management fee, expenses, potential profit allocation and potential put price are paid before monthly distributions to shareholders and may be significant and exceed the funds held by our company, which may require our company to dispose of assets or incur debt to fund such expenditures. See “Item 1. Business—Our Manager” included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018 for more information concerning the management fee, the profit allocation and put price.

At September 30, 2019, Goedeker did not meet certain loan covenants under the loan and security agreements with Burnley and SBCC. The agreements require compliance with the following ratios as a percentage of earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization for the twelve-month period ended September 30, 2019. The table below shows the required ratio and actual ratio for such period.

 

Covenant  Actual Ratio  Required Ratio
Total debt ratio  (9.6)x  4.50x
Senior debt ratio  (3.7)x  1.75x
Interest coverage ratio  (0.7)x  1.0x

  

In addition, Goedeker was not in compliance with a requirement with respect to the liquidity ratio, which is the ratio of cash and available borrowings to customer deposits. At September 30, 2019, the actual ratio was 0.24x compared to a requirement of 0.65x.

 

Accordingly, our company is in technical, not payment default, on these loan and security agreements and has classified such debt as a current liability. We have developed plans that will return us to full compliance including a recently received proposal from a new asset-based lender. In addition to the proposal from a new asset-based lender, we have taken the following two steps that we believe will positively impact our retail and appliance business:

 

  we hired an appliance industry veteran as chief executive officer of our retail and appliance business to drive growth and increase profitability; and

 

  we have engaged outside consultants to increase traffic to the website of our retail and appliance business and improve our on-line shopping experience.

 

We believe these efforts and others will increase revenue and allow us to regain compliance with our debt covenants.

 

There are no cross default provisions that would require any other long-term liabilities to be classified as current. Although the 9% subordinated promissory note described below contains a cross default provision that is triggered by the acceleration of the senior debt, such cross default provision would only be triggered for a technical default like the one that occurred if the senior lender accelerated the senior debt, which has not happened.

 

The amount of management fee paid to our manager by our company is reduced by the aggregate amount of any offsetting management fees, if any, received by our manager from any of our businesses. As a result, the management fee paid to our manager may fluctuate from quarter to quarter. The amount of management fee paid to our manager may represent a significant cash obligation. In this respect, the payment of the management fee will reduce the amount of cash available for distribution to shareholders. See “Item 1. Business—Our Manager—Our Manager as a Service Provider—Management Fee” included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018 for more information on the calculation of the management fee.

 

Our manager, as holder of 100% of our allocation shares, is entitled to receive a twenty percent (20%) profit allocation as a form of preferred equity distribution, subject to an annual hurdle rate of eight percent (8%), as follows. Upon the sale of a company subsidiary, the manager will be paid a profit allocation if the sum of (i) the excess of the gain on the sale of such subsidiary over a high water mark plus (ii) the subsidiary’s net income since its acquisition by the company exceeds the 8% hurdle rate. The 8% hurdle rate is the product of (i) a 2% rate per quarter, multiplied by (ii) the number of quarters such subsidiary was held by the company, multiplied by (iii) the subsidiary’s average share (determined based on gross assets, generally) of our company’s consolidated net equity (determined according to U.S. generally accepted accounting principals, or GAAP. with certain adjustments). In certain circumstances, after a subsidiary has been held for at least 5 years, the manager may also trigger a profit allocation with respect to such subsidiary (determined based solely on the subsidiary’s net income since its acquisition). The amount of profit allocation may represent a significant cash payment and is senior in right to payments of the dividend on the series A preferred and other distributions to our shareholders. Therefore, the amount of profit allocation paid, when paid, will reduce the amount of cash available to our company for its operating and investing activities, including future acquisitions. See “Item 1. Business—Our Manager—Our Manager as an Equity Holder—Manager’s Profit Allocation” included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018 for more information on the calculation of the profit allocation.

 

42

 

 

Our operating agreement also contains a supplemental put provision, which gives our manager the right, subject to certain conditions, to cause our company to purchase the allocation shares then owned by our manager upon termination of the management services agreement. The amount of put price under the supplemental put provision is determined by assuming all of our subsidiaries are sold at that time for their fair market value and then calculating the amount of profit allocation would be payable in such a case. If the management services agreement is terminated for any reason other than the manager’s resignation, the payment to our manager could be as much as twice the amount of such hypothetical profit allocation. As is the case with profit allocation, the calculation of the put price is complex and based on many factors that cannot be predicted with any certainty at this time. See “Item 1. Business—Our Manager—Our Manager as an Equity Holder—Supplemental Put Provision” included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018 for more information on the calculation of the put price. The put price obligation, if the manager exercises its put right, will represent a significant cash payment and is senior in right to payments of distributions to our shareholders. Therefore, the amount of put price will reduce the amount of cash available to our company for its operating and investing activities, including future acquisitions.

The note provides that we may from time to time request additional advances from our manager up to an aggregate additional amount of $100,000, which will be added to the note if our manager, in its sole discretion, so provides.

Revolving Loan - Burnley

 

On April 5, 2019, Goedeker, as borrower, and 1847 Goedeker entered into a loan and security agreement with Burnley Capital LLC, or Burnley, for revolving loans in an aggregate principal amount that will not exceed the lesser of (i) the borrowing base or (ii) $1,500,000 (provided that such amount may be increased to $3,000,000 in Burnley’s sole discretion) minus reserves established Burnley at any time in accordance with the loan and security agreement. The “borrowing base” means an amount equal to the sum of the following: (i) the product of 85% multiplied by the liquidation value of Goedeker’s inventory (net of all liquidation costs) identified in the most recent inventory appraisal by an appraiser acceptable to Burnley (ii) multiplied by Goedeker’s eligible inventory (as defined in the loan and security agreement), valued at the lower of cost or market value, determined on a first-in-first-out basis. In connection with the closing of the acquisition of Goedeker Television on April 5, 2019, Goedeker borrowed $744,000 under the loan and security agreement and issued a revolving note to Burnley in the principal amount of up to $1,500,000. The balance of the line of credit amounts to $576,962 as of September 30, 2019, comprised of principal of $675,295 and net of unamortized debt discount of $98,333.

 

The revolving note matures on April 5, 2022, provided that at Burnley’s sole and absolute discretion, it may agree to extend the maturity date for two successive terms of one year each. The revolving note bears interest at a per annum rate equal to the greater of (i) the LIBOR Rate (as defined in the loan and security agreement) plus 6.00% or (ii) 8.50%; provided that upon an event of default (as defined below) all loans, all past due interest and all fees shall bear interest at a per annum rate equal to the foregoing rate plus 3.00%. Goedeker shall pay interest accrued on the revolving note in arrears on the last day of each month commencing on April 30, 2019.

 

Goedeker may at any time and from time to time prepay the revolving note in whole or in part. If at any time the outstanding principal balance on the revolving note exceeds the lesser of (i) the difference of the total loan amount minus any reserves and (ii) the borrowing base, then Goedeker shall immediately prepay the revolving note in an aggregate amount equal to such excess. In addition, in the event and on each occasion that any net proceeds (as defined in the loan and security agreement) are received by or on behalf of Goedeker or 1847 Goedeker in respect of any prepayment event following the occurrence and during the continuance of an event of default, Goedeker shall, immediately after such net proceeds are received, prepay the revolving note in an aggregate amount equal to 100% of such net proceeds. A “prepayment event” means (i) any sale, transfer, merger, liquidation or other disposition (including pursuant to a sale and leaseback transaction) of any property of Goedeker or 1847 Goedeker; (ii) a change of control (as defined in the loan and security agreement); (iii) any casualty or other insured damage to, or any taking under power of eminent domain or by condemnation or similar proceeding of, any property of Goedeker or 1847 Goedeker with a fair value immediately prior to such event equal to or greater than $25,000; (iv) the issuance by Goedeker of any capital stock or the receipt by Goedeker of any capital contribution; or (v) the incurrence by Goedeker or 1847 Goedeker of any indebtedness (as defined in the loan and security agreement), other than indebtedness permitted under the loan and security agreement.

 

Under the loan and security agreement, Goedeker is required to pay a number of fees to Burnley, including the following:

 

  a commitment fee during the period from closing to the earlier of the maturity date or termination of Burnley’s commitment to make loans under the loan and security agreement, which shall accrue at the rate of 0.50% per annum on the average daily difference of the total loan amount then in effect minus the sum of the outstanding principal balance of the revolving note, which such accrued commitment fees are due and payable in arrears on the first day of each calendar month and on the date on which Burnley’s commitment to make loans under the loan and security agreement terminates, commencing on the first such date to occur after the closing date;

 

  an annual loan facility fee equal to 0.75% of the revolving commitment (i.e., the maximum amount that Goedeker may borrow under the revolving loan), which is fully earned on the closing date for the term of the loan (including any extension) but shall be due and payable on each anniversary of the closing date;

 

44

 

 

  a monthly collateral management fee for monitoring and servicing the revolving loan equal to $1,700 per month for the term of revolving note, which is fully earned and non-refundable as of the date of the loan and security agreement, but shall be payable monthly in arrears on the first day of each calendar month; provided that payment of the collateral management fee may be made, at the discretion of Burnley, by application of advances under the revolving loan or directly by Goedeker; and

 

  if the revolving loan is terminated for any reason, including by Burnley following an event of default, then Goedeker shall pay, as liquidated damages and compensation for the costs of being prepared to make funds available, an amount equal to the applicable percentage multiplied by the revolving commitment (i.e., the maximum amount that Goedeker may borrow under the revolving loan), wherein the term applicable percentage means (i) 3%, in the case of a termination on or prior to the first anniversary of the closing date, (ii) 2%, in the case of a termination after the first anniversary of the closing date but on or prior to the second anniversary thereof, and (iii) 0.5%, in the case of a termination after the second anniversary of the closing date but on or prior to the maturity date.

 

The loan and security agreement contains customary events of default, including, among others: (i) for failure to pay principal and interest on the revolving note when due, or to pay any fees due under the loan and security agreement; (ii) if any representation, warranty or certification in the loan and security agreement or any document delivered in connection therewith is incorrect in any material respect; (iii) for failure to perform any covenant or agreement contained in the loan and security agreement or any document delivered in connection therewith; (iv) for the occurrence of any default in respect of any other indebtedness of more than $100,000; (v) for any voluntary or involuntary bankruptcy, insolvency or dissolution; (vi) for the occurrence of one or more judgments, non-interlocutory orders, decrees or arbitration awards involving in the aggregate a liability of $25,000 or more; (vii) if Goedeker or 1847 Goedeker, or officer thereof, is charged by a governmental authority, criminally indicted or convicted of a felony under any law that would reasonably be expected to lead to forfeiture of any material portion of collateral, or such entity is subject to an injunction restraining it from conducting its business; (viii) if Burnley determines that a material adverse effect (as defined in the loan and security agreement) has occurred; (ix) if a change of control (as defined in the loan and security agreement) occurs; (x) if there is any material damage to, loss, theft or destruction of property which causes, for more than thirty consecutive days beyond the coverage period of any applicable business interruption insurance, the cessation or substantial curtailment of revenue producing activities; (xi) if there is a loss, suspension or revocation of, or failure to renew any permit if it could reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect; and (xii) for the occurrence of any default or event of default under the term loan with SBCC, the 9% subordinated promissory note issued to Goedeker Television, the secured convertible promissory note issued to Leonite (as defined below) or any other debt that is subordinated to the revolving loan.

 

The loan and security agreement contains customary representations, warranties and affirmative and negative financial and other covenants for a loan of this type. The revolving note is secured by a first priority security interest in all of the assets of Goedeker and 1847 Goedeker. In connection with such security interest, on April 5, 2019, (i) 1847 Goedeker entered into a pledge agreement with Burnley, pursuant to which 1847 Goedeker pledged the shares of Goedeker held by it to Burnley, and (ii) Goedeker entered into a deposit account control agreement with Burnley, SBCC and Montgomery Bank relating to the security interest in Goedeker’s bank accounts.

 

In addition, on April 5, 2019, we entered into a guaranty with Burnley to guaranty the obligations under the loan and security agreement upon the occurrence of certain prohibited acts described in the guaranty.

 

The rights of Bunley to receive payments under the revolving note are subordinate to the rights of Northpoint (as defined below) under a subordination agreement that Burnley entered into with Northpoint.

 

As noted above, our company is in technical, not payment default, on this loan and security agreement and has classified such debt as a current liability.

Pursuant to the terms of the note, Neese will make semi-annual payments of $302,270 beginning on January 20, 2019 and continuing every six months thereafter until July 20, 2020, the maturity date; provided however, that Neese will pay the note in full immediately upon demand by Home State Bank.

The loan agreement contains customary representations and warranties. Pursuant to the terms of the loan agreement and the note, an “event of default” includes: (i) if Neese fails to make any payment when due under the note; (ii) if Neese fails to comply with or to perform any other term, obligation, covenant or condition contained in the note or in any of the related documents or to comply with or to perform any term, obligation, covenant or condition contained in any other agreement between Home State Bank and Neese; (iii) if Neese defaults under any loan, extension of credit, security agreement, purchase or sales agreement, or any other agreement, in favor of any other creditor or person that may materially affect any of Home State Bank’s property or Neese’s ability to repay the note or perform Neese’s obligations under the note or any of the related documents; (iv) if any warranty, representation or statement made or furnished to Home State Bank by Neese or on Neese’s behalf under the note or the related documents is false or misleading in any material respect; (v) upon the dissolution or termination of Neese’s existence as a going business, the insolvency of Neese, the appointment of a receiver for any part of Neese’s property, any assignment for the benefit of creditors, any type of creditor workout, or the commencement of any proceeding under any bankruptcy or insolvency laws by or against Neese, (vi) upon commencement of foreclosure or forfeiture proceedings by any creditor of Neese or by any governmental agency against any collateral securing the loan; and (vii) if a material adverse change occurs in Neese’s financial condition, or Home State Bank believes the prospect of payment or performance of the note is impaired. If any event of default occurs, all commitments and obligations of Home State Bank immediately will terminate and, at Home State Bank’s option, all indebtedness immediately will become due and payable, all without notice of any kind to Neese. Additionally, upon an event of default, the interest rate on the note will be increased by 3 percentage points. However, in no event will the interest rate exceed the maximum interest rate limitations under applicable law.

 

The loan is secured by inventory, accounts receivable, and certain fixed assets of Neese. The loan agreement limited the payment of interest on the 8% vesting promissory note and 10% promissory note described below to $40,000 annually or fees to our manager. We continue to accrue interest and management fees at the contractual amounts. Such accruals (in excess of $40,000 in interest on the promissory notes) are shown as long-term accrued expenses in the accompanying balance sheet as of September 30, 2019.

 

Secured Convertible Promissory Note

 

On April 5, 2019, our company, 1847 Goedeker and Goedeker (which are collectively referred to herein as 1847) entered into a securities purchase agreement with Leonite Capital LLC, or Leonite, pursuant to which 1847 issued to Leonite a secured convertible promissory note in the aggregate principal amount of $714,286. As additional consideration for the purchase of the note, (i) our company issued to Leonite 50,000 common shares, (ii) our company issued to Leonite a five-year warrant to purchase 200,000 common shares at an exercise price of $1.25 per share (subject to adjustment), which may be exercised on a cashless basis, and (iii) 1847 Goedeker issued to Leonite shares of common stock equal to a 7.5% non-dilutable interest in 1847 Goedeker.

 

The note carries an original issue discount of $64,286 to cover Leonite’s legal fees, accounting fees, due diligence fees and/or other transactional costs incurred in connection with the purchase of the note. Therefore, the purchase price of the note was $650,000. We amortized $211,088 of financing costs related to the common shares and warrants in the nine months ended September 30, 2019. The remaining net balance of the note at September 30, 2019 is $456,228, comprised of principal of $714,286 and net of unamortized original issuance discount interest of $31,473, unamortized financing costs of $76,250, and unamortized debt discount warrant feature of $150,335.

 

The note bears interest at the rate of the greater of (i) 12% per annum and (ii) the prime rate as set forth in the Wall Street Journal on April 5, 2019 plus 6.5% guaranteed over the holding period on the unconverted principal amount, on the terms set forth in the note (which is referred to as the Stated Rate). Any amount of principal or interest on the note which is not paid by the maturity date shall bear interest at the rate at the lesser of 24% per annum or the maximum legal amount permitted by law (which is referred to as the Default Interest).

Beginning on May 5, 2019 and on the same day of each and every calendar month thereafter throughout the term of the note, 1847 shall make monthly payments of interest only due under the note to Leonite at the Stated Rate as set forth above. 1847 shall pay to Leonite on an accelerated basis any outstanding principal amount of the note, along with accrued, but unpaid interest, from: (i) net proceeds of any future financings by our company, but not its subsidiaries, whether debt or equity, or any other financing proceeds, except any transaction having a specific use of proceeds requirement that such proceeds are to be used exclusively to purchase the assets or equity of an unaffiliated business and the proceeds are used accordingly; (ii) net proceeds from any sale of assets of 1847 or any of its subsidiaries other than sales of assets in the ordinary course of business or receipt by 1847 or any of its subsidiaries of any tax credits, subject to rights of Goedeker, or other financing sources of 1847 (including its subsidiaries) existing prior to the date of the note; and (iii) net proceeds from the sale of any assets outside of the ordinary course of business or securities in any subsidiary.

 

The note will mature 12 months from the issue date, or April 5, 2020, at which time the principal amount and all accrued and unpaid interest, if any, and other fees relating to the note, will be due and payable. Unless an event of default as set forth in the note has occurred, 1847 has the right to prepay principal amount of, and any accrued and unpaid interest on, the note at any time prior to the maturity date at 115% of the principal amount, or the Premium, provided, however, that if the prepayment is the result of any of the occurrence of any of the transactions described in subparagraphs (i), (ii) or (iii) above then such prepayment shall be the unpaid principal amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest and other amounts due but without the Premium.

 

The note contains customary events of default, including in the event of (i) non-payment, (ii) a breach by 1847 of its covenants under the securities purchase agreement or any other agreement entered into in connection with the securities purchase agreement, or a breach of any of representations or warranties under the note, or (iii) the bankruptcy of 1847. The note also contains a cross default provision, whereby a default by 1847 of any covenant or other term or condition contained in any of the other financial instrument issued by of 1847 to Leonite or any other third party after the passage all applicable notice and cure or grace periods that results in a material adverse effect shall, at Leonite’s option, be considered a default under the note, in which event Leonite shall be entitled to apply all rights and remedies under the terms of the note.

 

Under the note, Leonite has the right at any time at its option to convert all or any part of the outstanding and unpaid principal amount and accrued and unpaid interest of the note into fully paid and non-assessable common shares or any shares of capital stock or other securities of our company into which such common shares may be changed or reclassified. The number of common shares to be issued upon each conversion of the note shall be determined by dividing the conversion amount by the applicable conversion price then in effect. The conversion amount is the sum of: (i) the principal amount of the note to be converted plus (ii) at Leonite’s option, accrued and unpaid interest, plus (iii) at Leonite’s option, Default Interest, if any, plus (iv) Leonite’s expenses relating to a conversion, plus (v) at Leonite’s option, any amounts owed to Leonite. The conversion price shall be $1.00 per share (subject to adjustment as further described in the note for common share distributions and splits, certain fundamental transactions, and anti-dilution adjustments), provided that at any time after any event of default under the note, the conversion price shall immediately be equal to the lesser of (i) such conversion price less 40%; and (ii) the lowest weighted average price of the common shares during the 21 consecutive trading day period immediately preceding the trading day that 1847 receives a notice of conversion or (iii) the discount to market based on subsequent financings with other investors.

 

Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall Leonite be entitled to convert any portion of the note in excess of that portion of the note upon conversion of which the sum of (1) the number of common shares beneficially owned by Leonite and its affiliates (other than common shares which may be deemed beneficially owned through the ownership of the unconverted portion of the note or the unexercised or unconverted portion of any other security of our company subject to a limitation on conversion or exercise analogous to the limitations contained in the note, and, if applicable, net of any shares that may be deemed to be owned by any person not affiliated with Leonite who has purchased a portion of the note from Leonite) and (2) the number of common shares issuable upon the conversion of the portion of the note with respect to which the determination of this proviso is being made, would result in beneficial ownership by Leonite and its affiliates of more than 4.99% of the outstanding common shares of our company. Such limitations on conversion may be waived (up to a maximum of 9.99%) by Leonite upon, at its election, not less than 61 days’ prior notice to us, and the provisions of the conversion limitation shall continue to apply until such 61st day (or such later date, as determined by Leonite, as may be specified in such notice of waiver).

 

Concurrently with 1847 and Leonite entering into the securities purchase agreement and as security for 1847’s obligations thereunder, on April 5, 2019, our company, 1847 Goedeker and Goedeker entered into a security and pledge agreement with Leonite, pursuant to which, in order to secure 1847’s timely payment of the note and related obligations and the timely performance of each and all of its covenants and obligations under the securities purchase agreement and related documents, 1847 unconditionally and irrevocably granted, pledged and hypothecated to Leonite a continuing security interest in and to, a lien upon, assignment of, and right of set-off against, all presently existing and hereafter acquired or arising assets. Such security interest is a first priority security interest with respect to the securities that our company owns in 1847 Goedeker and in 1847 Neese, and a third priority security interest with respect to all other assets.

 

The rights of Leonite to receive payments under the note are subordinate to the rights of Northpoint, Burnley and SBCC under separate subordination agreements that Leonite entered into with them.

9% Subordinated Promissory Note

 

A portion of the purchase price for the acquisition of assets from Goedeker Television was paid by the issuance by Goedeker of a 9% subordinated promissory note in the principal amount of $4,100,000. The note will accrue interest at 9% per annum, amortized on a five-year straight-line basis and payable quarterly in accordance with the amortization schedule attached thereto, and mature on April 5, 2023. Goedeker has the right to redeem all or any portion of the note at any time prior to the maturity date without premium or penalty of any kind. The note contains customary events of default, including in the event of (i) non-payment, (ii) a default by Goedeker of any of its covenants under the asset purchase agreement or any other agreement entered into in connection with the asset purchase agreement, or a breach of any of representations or warranties under such documents, or (iii) the bankruptcy of Goedeker. The note also contains a cross default provision which provides that if there occurs with respect to the revolving loan with Burnley or the term loan with SBCC (A) a default with respect to any payment obligation thereunder that entitles the holder thereof to declare such indebtedness to be due and payable prior to its stated maturity or (B) any other default thereunder that entitles, and has caused, the holder thereof to declare such indebtedness to be due and payable prior to maturity. Since the defaults under the loans with Burnley and SBCC are not payment defaults, they fall under clause (B) above and would require Burnley or SBCC to accelerate the payment of indebtedness under their notes (which they have not done) before the cross default provisions would result in a default under this note.

 

The rights of the holder to receive payments under the note are subordinate to the rights of Northpoint, Burnley and SBCC under separate subordination agreements that the holder entered into with them.

 

The remaining balance of the note at September 30, 2019 is $4,274,209, comprised of principal of $4,530,293 and net of unamortized debt discount of $256,084.

 

8% Vesting Promissory Note

 

A portion of the purchase price for the acquisition of Neese was paid by the issuance of an 8% vesting promissory note in the principal amount of $1,875,000 (which was determined to have no fair value as of September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018) by 1847 Neese and Neese to the sellers of Neese. Payment of the principal and accrued interest on the note is subject to vesting and a contingent consideration subject to fair market valuation adjustment at each reporting period. The note bears interest on the vested portion of the principal amount at the rate of eight percent (8%) per annum and is due and payable in full on June 30, 2020. The principal of the note vests in accordance with the following formula:

 

  Fiscal Year 2017: If Adjusted EBITDA for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2017 exceeds an Adjusted EBITDA target of $1,300,000 (referred to as the Adjusted EBITDA Target), then a portion of the principal amount of the note that is equal to sixty percent (60%) of such excess shall vest. Interest shall be payable on such vested portion of principal from January 1, 2017 through the maturity date. For the year ended December 31, 2017, Adjusted EBITDA was $788,958, below the threshold amount of $1,300,000, therefore no portion of the note vested in fiscal year 2017.

 

  Fiscal Year 2018: If Adjusted EBITDA for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2018 exceeds the Adjusted EBITDA Target, then a portion of the principal amount of the note that is equal to sixty percent (60%) of such excess shall vest. Interest shall be payable on such vested portion of principal from January 1, 2018 through the maturity date. For the year ended December 31, 2018, Adjusted EBITDA was approximately $320,000, below the threshold amount of $1,300,000, therefore no portion of the note vested in fiscal year 2018.

 

  Fiscal Year 2019: If Adjusted EBITDA for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2019 exceeds the Adjusted EBITDA Target, then a portion of the principal amount of the note that is equal to sixty percent (60%) of such excess shall vest. Interest shall be payable on such vested portion of principal from January 1, 2019 through the maturity date.

 

49

 

 

For purposes of the note, “Adjusted EBITDA” means the earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization expenses, in accordance with GAAP applied on a basis consistent with the accounting policies, practices and procedures used to prepare the financial statements of Neese as of the closing date, plus to the extent deducted in calculating such net income: (i) all expenses related to the transactions contemplated hereby and/or potential or completed future financings or acquisitions, including legal, accounting, due diligence and investment banking fees and expenses; (ii) all management fees, allocations or corporate overhead (including executive compensation) or other administrative costs that arise from the ownership of Neese by 1847 Neese including allocations of supervisory, centralized or other parent-level expense items; (iii) one-time extraordinary expenses or losses; and (iv) any reserves or adjustments to reserves which are not consistent with GAAP. Additionally, for purposes of calculating Adjusted EBITDA, the purchase and sales prices of goods and services sold by or purchased by Neese to or from 1847 Neese, its subsidiaries or affiliates shall be adjusted to reflect the amounts that Neese would have realized or paid if dealing with an independent third-party in an arm’s-length commercial transaction, and inventory items shall be properly categorized as such and shall not be expenses until such inventory is sold or consumed.

 

At June 30, 2018, management made the determination that the vesting note payable had no value because it estimated that the EBITDA threshold of $1,300,000 for both 2018 and 2019 would be not attained, thus eliminating the requirement for a payment under terms of the note payable.

 

The note contains customary events of default, including in the event of: (i) non-payment; (ii) a default by 1847 Neese or Neese of any of their covenants under the stock purchase agreement, the note, or any other agreement entered into in connection with the acquisition of Neese, or a breach of any of their representations or warranties under such documents; or (iii) the bankruptcy of 1847 Neese or Neese.

 

Under terms of the term loan with Home State Bank described above, the note may not be paid until the term loan is paid in full.

 

10% Promissory Note

 

A portion of the purchase price for the acquisition of Neese was paid by the issuance of a 10% promissory note in the principal amount of $1,025,000 by 1847 Neese and Neese to the sellers of Neese. The note bears interest on the outstanding principal amount at the rate of ten percent (10%) per annum and was due and payable in full on March 3, 2018; provided, however, that the unpaid principal, and all accrued, but unpaid, interest thereon shall be prepaid if at any time, and from time to time, the cash on hand of 1847 Neese and Neese exceeds $250,000 and, then, the prepayment shall be equal to the amount of cash in excess of $200,000 until the unpaid principal and accrued, but unpaid, interest thereon is fully prepaid. The note contains the same events of default as the 8% vesting promissory note. The note has not been repaid, thus we are in default under this note. Under terms of the term loan with Home State Bank described above, this note may not be paid until the term loan is paid in full. The payees on the note agreed to the modification of its terms by signing the loan agreement. Accordingly, the loan is shown as a long-term liability as of September 30, 2019. Additionally, the term loan lender limits the payment of interest on this note to $40,000 annually. We continue to accrue interest at the contract rate; however, given the limitations of the term loan, all accrued interest in excess of $40,000 is included in long-term accrued expenses.

 

Floor Plan Loans Payable

 

At September 30, 2019, $13,908 of machinery and equipment inventory was pledged to secure a floor plan loan from a commercial lender. We must remit proceeds from the sale of the secured inventory to the floor plan lender and pay a finance charge that can vary monthly at the option of the lender. The balance of the floor plan payable as of September 30, 2019 amounted to $13,908.

 

Master Lease Agreement

 

The cash portion of the purchase price for the acquisition of Neese was financed under a capital lease transaction for Neese’s equipment with Utica Leaseco, LLC, or Utica, pursuant to a master lease agreement, dated March 3, 2017, between Utica and 1847 Neese and Neese, as co-lessees (collectively, referred to as the Lessee). Under the master lease agreement, Utica loaned an aggregate of $3,240,000 for certain of Neese’s equipment listed therein, which it leases to the Lessee. The initial term of the master lease agreement was for 51 months. Under the master lease agreement, the Lessee agreed to pay a monthly rent of $53,000 for the first three (3) months, with such amount increasing to $85,321.63 for the remaining forty-eight (48) months.

 

On June 14, 2017, the parties entered into a first amendment to lease documents, pursuant to which the parties agreed to, among other things, extend the term of the master lease agreement from 51 months to 57 months and amend the payments due thereunder. Under the amendment, the Lessee agreed to pay a monthly rent of $53,000 for the first ten (10) months, with such amount increasing to $85,321.63 for the remaining forty-seven (47) months. In connection with the extension of the term of the master lease agreement, the parties also amended the schedule of stipulated loss values and early termination payment schedule attached thereto. In connection with the amendment, the Lessee agreed to pay Utica an amendment fee of $2,500.

 

50

 

 

On October 31, 2017, the Lessee and Utica entered into a second equipment schedule to the master lease agreement, pursuant to which Utica loaned an aggregate of $980,000 for certain of Neese’s equipment listed therein. The term of the second equipment schedule is 51 months and agreed monthly payments are $25,807.

 

If any rent is not received by Utica within five (5) calendar days of the due date, the Lessee shall pay a late charge equal to ten (10%) percent of the amount. In addition, in the event that any payment is not processed or is returned on the basis of insufficient funds, upon demand, the Lessee shall pay Utica a charge equal to five percent (5%) of the amount of such payment. The Lessee is also required to pay an annual administration fee of $3,000. Upon the expiration of the term of the master lease agreement, the Lessee is required to pay, together with all other amounts then due and payable under the master lease agreement, in cash, an end of term buyout price equal to the lesser of: (a) five percent (5%) of the Total Invoice Cost (as defined in the master lease agreement); or (b) the fair market value of the equipment, as determined by Utica.

 

Provided that no default under the master lease agreement has occurred and is continuing beyond any applicable grace or cure period, the Lessee has an early buy-out option with respect to all but not less than all of the equipment, upon the payment of any outstanding rental payments or other fees then due, plus an additional amount set forth in the master lease agreement, which represents the anticipated fair market value of the equipment as of the anticipated end date of the master lease agreement. In addition, the Lessee shall pay to Utica an administrative charge to be determined by Utica to cover its time and expenses incurred in connection with the exercise of the option to purchase, including, but not limited to, reasonable attorney fees and costs. Furthermore, upon the exercise by the Lessee of this option to purchase the equipment, the Lessee shall pay all sales and transfer taxes and all fees payable to any governmental authority as a result of the transfer of title of the equipment to Lessee.

 

In connection with the master lease agreement, the Lessee granted a security interest on all of its right, title and interest in and to: (i) the equipment, together with all related software (embedded therein or otherwise) and general intangibles, all additions, attachments, accessories and accessions thereto whether or not furnished by the supplier; (ii) all accounts, chattel paper, deposit accounts, documents, other equipment, general intangibles, instruments, inventory, investment property, letter of credit rights and any supporting obligations related to any of the foregoing; (iii) all books and records pertaining to the foregoing; (iv) all property of such Lessee held by Utica, including all property of every description, in the custody of or in transit to Utica for any purpose, including safekeeping, collection or pledge, for the account of such Lessee or as to which such Lessee may have any right or power, including but not limited to cash; and (v) to the extent not otherwise included, all insurance, substitutions, replacements, exchanges, accessions, proceeds and products of the foregoing.

 

On February 1, 2018, Utica agreed to continue the $53,000 payments for three additional months and extend the maturity of the loan by three months. Additionally, Utica agreed to defer the February 3, 2018 payment to February 20, 2018. We paid one-half the normal late fee, $2,650 for the late payment. On March 2, 2018, Utica agreed to defer the March 3 payment to March 30, 2018. We paid a late payment fee of $5,300 for the payment deferral. 

 

On April 18, 2018, Utica, the Lessee, and Ellery W. Roberts, as guarantor under the master lease agreement, entered into a forbearance agreement relating to the non-payment of certain rent payments due under the Master Lease Agreement for the months of March 2018 and April 2018. Pursuant to the forbearance agreement, Utica agreed to forbear from demanding payment in full and exercising its remedies under the master lease agreement until June 3, 2018. Pursuant to the forbearance agreement, the Lessee agreed to, among other things, (i) make the payments set forth in the forbearance agreement on or before the dates specified therein, totaling $173,376, (ii) be current on all rent due under Schedule 1 of the master lease agreement by June 3, 2018 and be current on all rent due under Schedule 2 of the master lease agreement by May 30, 2018, (ii) reinstate or renew and continue in effect all insurance as required under the master lease agreement at Lessee’s sole cost and expense, (iv) pay a forbearance fee to Utica totaling $4,500, which shall not be due until termination of the master lease agreement and (v) execute a surrender agreement with respect to the Lessee’s equipment, which will be held in escrow by Utica and not deemed effective unless and until the earlier to occur of: (a) June 3, 2018, provided liabilities under master lease agreement remain due but unpaid; (b) such time as Utica accelerates due and unpaid liabilities pursuant to the term of the forbearance agreement and the master lease agreement; or (c) a default occurs under the forbearance agreement or the master lease agreement.

 

A portion of the proceeds from the term loan described below were applied to reduce the balance of this lease to $475,000. The lease is payable in 46 payments of $12,881.96 beginning July 3, 2018 and an end-of-term buyout of $38,000. As a result, the parties to the forbearance agreement agreed that the forbearance agreement is terminated and is no longer in effect.

 

The remaining balance of the lease amounts to $707,997 as of September 30, 2019, comprised of principal of $907,245 and net of unamortized debt discount of $28,070, accrued payments on lien release of $249,784 and lease deposits of $38,807, offset by end of lease buyout payments of $117,413.

Contractual Obligations

 

We have engaged our manager to manage the day-to-day operations and affairs of our company. Our relationship with our manager will be governed principally by the following agreements:

 

  the management services agreement relating to the management services our manager will perform for us and the businesses we own and the management fee to be paid to our manager in respect thereof; and

 

  our company’s operating agreement setting forth our manager’s rights with respect to the allocation shares it owns, including the right to receive profit allocations from our company, and the supplemental put provision relating to our manager’s right to cause our company to purchase the allocation shares it owns.

 

Pursuant to the management services agreement that we entered into with our manager, our manager will have the right to cause our company to purchase the allocation shares then owned by our manager upon termination of the management services agreement. The redemption value of the allocation shares will be recorded outside of permanent equity in the mezzanine section of the balance sheet. We will recognize any change in the redemption value of the allocation shares by recording a dividend between net income and net income available to common shareholders. The amount recorded for the allocation shares is largely related to the fair value of the profit allocation that our manager, as holder of the allocation shares, will receive. The carrying value of the allocation shares will represent an estimate of the amounts to ultimately be paid to our manager, whether as a result of the occurrence of one or more of the various trigger events or upon the exercise of the supplemental put provision contained in our operating agreement following the termination of the management services agreement. See “Item 1. Business—Our Manager—Our Manager as an Equity Holder—Supplemental Put Provision” included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018 for more information about this agreement.

 

We also expect that our manager will enter into offsetting management services agreements, transaction services agreements and other agreements, in each case, with some or all of the businesses that we acquire in the future. See “Item 1. Business—Our Manager” included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018 for more information about these and other agreements our company intends to enter into with our manager.

 

Pursuant to the asset purchase agreement with Goedeker Television, dated April 5, 2019, Goedeker Television is also entitled to receive the following earn out payments to the extent the Goedeker business achieves the applicable EBITDA (as defined in the asset purchase agreement) targets:

 

  1. An earn out payment of $200,000 if the EBITDA of the Goedeker business for the trailing twelve (12) month period from the closing date is $2,500,000 or greater;

 

  2. An earn out payment of $200,000 if the EBITDA of the Goedeker business for the trailing twelve (12) month period from the first anniversary of closing date is $2,500,000 or greater; and

 

  3. An earn out payment of $200,000 if the EBITDA of the Goedeker business for the trailing twelve (12) month period from the second anniversary of the closing date is $2,500,000 or greater.

 

52

 

 

To the extent the EBITDA of the Goedeker business for any applicable period is less than $2,500,000 but greater than $1,500,000, Goedeker must pay a partial earn out payment to Goedeker Television in an amount equal to the product determined by multiplying (i) the EBITDA Achievement Percentage by (ii) the applicable earn out payment for such period, where the “Achievement Percentage” is the percentage determined by dividing (A) the amount of (i) the EBITDA of the Goedeker business for the applicable period less (ii) $1,500,000, by (B) $1,000,000. For avoidance of doubt, no partial earn out payments shall be earned or paid to the extent the EBITDA of the Goedeker business for any applicable period is equal or less than $1,500,000.

 

To the extent Goedeker Television is entitled to all or a portion of an earn out payment, the applicable earn out payment(s) (or portion thereof) shall be paid on the date that is three (3) years from the closing date, and shall accrue interest from the date on which it is determined Goedeker Television is entitled to such earn out payment (or portion thereof) at a rate equal to five percent (5%) per annum, computed on the basis of a 360 day year for the actual number of days elapsed.

 

The rights of Goedeker Television to receive any earn out payment are subordinate to the rights of Burnley and SBCC under separate subordination agreements that Goedeker Television entered into with them on April 5, 2019.

 

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

 

We have no off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources.

 

Critical Accounting Policies

 

The following discussion relates to critical accounting policies for our consolidated company. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires our management to make assumptions, estimates and judgments that affect the amounts reported, including the notes thereto, and related disclosures of commitments and contingencies, if any. We have identified certain accounting policies that are significant to the preparation of our financial statements. These accounting policies are important for an understanding of our financial condition and results of operation. Critical accounting policies are those that are most important to the portrayal of our financial condition and results of operations and require management’s difficult, subjective, or complex judgment, often as a result of the need to make estimates about the effect of matters that are inherently uncertain and may change in subsequent periods. Certain accounting estimates are particularly sensitive because of their significance to financial statements and because of the possibility that future events affecting the estimate may differ significantly from management’s current judgments. We believe the following critical accounting policies involve the most significant estimates and judgments used in the preparation of our financial statements:

 

Revenue Recognition and Cost of Revenue 

 

On January 1, 2018, we adopted Accounting Standards Update, or ASU, No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606), which supersedes the revenue recognition requirements in Accounting Standards Codification, or ASC, Topic 605, Revenue Recognition. This ASU is based on the principle that revenue is recognized to depict the transfer of goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. This ASU also requires additional disclosure about the nature, amount, timing, and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from customer purchase orders, including significant judgments. Our adoption of this ASU resulted in no change to our results of operations or balance sheet.

 

Land Management Segment

 

Neese’s payment terms are due on demand from acceptance of delivery. Neese does not incur incremental costs obtaining purchase orders from customers, however, if Neese did, because all of Neese’s contracts are less than a year in duration, any contract costs incurred would be expensed rather than capitalized. 

 

53

 

 

The revenue that Neese recognizes arises from orders it receives from customers. Neese’s performance obligations under the customer orders correspond to each service delivery or sale of equipment that Neese makes to customers under the purchase orders; as a result, each purchase order generally contains only one performance obligation based on the service or equipment sale to be completed. Control of the delivery transfers to customers when the customer is able to direct the use of, and obtain substantially all of the benefits from, Neese’s products, which generally occurs at the later of when the customer obtains title to the equipment or when the customer assumes risk of loss. The transfer of control generally occurs at a point of delivery. Once this occurs, Neese has satisfied its performance obligation and Neese recognizes revenue.

 

Neese also sells equipment by posting it on auction sites specializing in farm equipment. Neese posts the equipment for sale on a “magazine” site for several weeks before the auction. When Neese decides to sell, it moves the equipment to the auction site. The auctions are one day. If Neese accepts a bid, the customer pays the bid price and arranges for pick-up of the equipment.

 

Transaction Price ‒ Neese agrees with customers on the selling price of each transaction. This transaction price is generally based on the agreed upon service fee. In Neese’s contracts with customers, it allocates the entire transaction price to the service fee to the customer, which is the basis for the determination of the relative standalone selling price allocated to each performance obligation. Any sales tax, value added tax, and other tax Neese collects concurrently with revenue-producing activities are excluded from revenue.

 

If Neese continued to apply legacy revenue recognition guidance for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019, revenues, gross margin, and net loss would not have changed.

 

Substantially all of Neese’s sales are to businesses, including farmers or municipalities and very little to individuals.

 

Disaggregated Revenue ‒ Neese disaggregates revenue from contracts with customers by contract type, as it believes it best depicts how the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows are affected by economic factors.

 

Performance Obligations ‒ Performance obligations for the different types of services are discussed below:

 

  Trucking ‒ Revenues for time and material contracts are recognized when the merchandise or commodity is delivered to the destination specified in the agreement with the customer.

 

  Waste Hauling and pumping ‒ Revenues for waste hauling and pumping is recognized when the hauling, pumping, and spreading are complete.

 

  Repairs ‒ Revenues for repairs are recognized upon completion of equipment serviced.

 

  Sales of parts and equipment ‒ Revenues for the sale of parts and equipment are recognized upon the transfer and acceptance by the customer.

 

54

 

 

Accounts Receivable, Net ‒ Accounts receivable, net, are amounts due from customers where there is an unconditional right to consideration. Unbilled receivables of $0 and $139,766 are included in this balance at September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively. The payment of consideration related to these unbilled receivables is subject only to the passage of time.

 

Neese reviews accounts receivable on a periodic basis to determine if any receivables will potentially be uncollectible. Estimates are used to determine the amount of the allowance for doubtful accounts necessary to reduce accounts receivable to its estimated net realizable value. The estimates are based on an analysis of past due receivables, historical bad debt trends, current economic conditions, and customer specific information. After Neese has exhausted all collection efforts, the outstanding receivable balance relating to services provided is written off against the allowance. Additions to the provision for bad debt are charged to expense.

 

Neese determined that an allowance for loss of $29,001 was required at September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018.

 

Retail and Appliances Segment

 

Goedeker collects the full sales price from the customer at the time the order is placed. Goedeker does not incur incremental costs obtaining purchase orders from customers, however, if Goedeker did, because all Goedeker’s contracts are less than a year in duration, any contract costs incurred would be expensed rather than capitalized.

 

The revenue that Goedeker recognizes arises from orders it receives from customers. Goedeker’s performance obligations under the customer orders correspond to each sale of merchandise that it makes to customers under the purchase orders; as a result, each purchase order generally contains only one performance obligation based on the merchandise sale to be completed. Control of the delivery transfers to customers when the customer can direct the use of, and obtain substantially all the benefits from, Goedeker’s products, which generally occurs when the customer assumes the risk of loss. The transfer of control generally occurs at the point of shipment. Once this occurs, Goedeker has satisfied its performance obligation and Goedeker recognizes revenue. Revenue from the sale of long-term service warranties are recognized net of costs to sell the contracts to the third-party warranty service company.

 

Transaction Price ‒ Goedeker agrees with customers on the selling price of each transaction. This transaction price is generally based on the agreed upon sales price. In Goedeker’s contracts with customers, it allocates the entire transaction price to the sales price, which is the basis for the determination of the relative standalone selling price allocated to each performance obligation. Any sales tax, value added tax, and other tax Goedeker collects concurrently with revenue-producing activities are excluded from revenue.

 

If Goedeker continued to apply legacy revenue recognition guidance for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019, revenues, gross margin, and net loss would not have changed.

 

Cost of revenue includes the cost of purchased merchandise plus the cost of delivering merchandise and where applicable installation, net of promotional rebates and other incentives received from vendors.

 

Substantially all Goedeker’s sales are to individual retail consumers.

 

Disaggregated Revenue ‒ Goedeker disaggregates revenue from contracts with customers by contract type, as it believes it best depicts how the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows are affected by economic factors.

 

Performance Obligations – Goedeker’s performance obligations include delivery of products and, in some instances, performance of services such as installation. Revenue for the sale of merchandise is recognized upon shipment to the customer; or in some instances, upon delivery and installation of the product which typically occur simultaneously.

 

Receivables

 

Receivables consist of credit card transactions in the process of settlement. Vendor rebates receivable represent amounts due from manufactures from whom we purchase products. Rebates receivable are stated at the amount that management expects to collect from manufacturers, net of accounts payable amounts due the vendor. Rebates are calculated on product and model sales programs from specific vendors. The rebates are paid at intermittent periods either in cash or through issuance of vendor credit memos, which can be applied against vendor accounts payable. Based on our assessment of the credit history with our manufacturers, we have concluded that there should be no allowance for uncollectible accounts. We historically collect substantially all of our outstanding rebates receivables. Uncollectible balances are expensed in the period it is determined to be uncollectible.

Allowance for Credit Losses

 

Provisions for credit losses are charged to income as losses are estimated to have occurred and in amounts sufficient to maintain an allowance for credit losses at an adequate level to provide for future losses on our accounts receivable. We charge credit losses against the allowance and credits subsequent recoveries, if any, to the allowance. Historical loss experience and contractual delinquency of accounts receivables, and management’s judgment are factors used in assessing the overall adequacy of the allowance and the resulting provision for credit losses. While management uses the best information available to make its evaluation, future adjustments to the allowance may be necessary if there are significant changes in economic conditions or portfolio performance. This evaluation is inherently subjective as it requires estimates that are susceptible to significant revisions as more information becomes available.

 

The allowance for credit losses consists of general and specific components. The general component of the allowance estimates credit losses for groups of accounts receivable on a collective basis and relates to probable incurred losses of unimpaired accounts receivables. We record a general allowance for credit losses that includes forecasted future credit losses.

 

Inventory

 

Inventory consists of finished products acquired for resale and is valued at the lower-of-cost-or-market with cost determined on a specific item basis for the Neese and of finished products acquired for resale and is valued at the low-of-cost-or-market with cost determined on an average item basis for Goedeker. We periodically evaluate the value of items in inventory and provide write-downs to inventory based on our estimate of market conditions.

 

Property and Equipment

 

Property and equipment is stated at cost. Depreciation of furniture, vehicles and equipment is calculated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives as follows:

 

  

Useful Life

(Years)

 
Building and Improvements  4 
Machinery & Equipment  3-7 
Tractors  3-7 
Trucks and vehicles  3-6 

 

Goodwill and Intangible Assets

 

In applying the acquisition method of accounting, amounts assigned to identifiable assets and liabilities acquired were based on estimated fair values as of the date of acquisition, with the remainder recorded as goodwill. Identifiable intangible assets are initially valued at fair value using generally accepted valuation methods appropriate for the type of intangible asset. Identifiable intangible assets with definite lives are amortized over their estimated useful lives and are reviewed for impairment if indicators of impairment arise. Intangible assets with indefinite lives are tested for impairment within one year of acquisitions or annually as of December 1, and whenever indicators of impairment exist. The fair value of intangible assets are compared with their carrying values, and an impairment loss would be recognized for the amount by which a carrying amount exceeds its fair value.

 

Acquired identifiable intangible assets are amortized over the following periods:

 

Acquired intangible Asset  Amortization Basis 

Expected Life

(years)

 
Customer-Related  Straight-line basis  5 

  

Long-Lived Assets 

 

We review our property and equipment and any identifiable intangibles for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. The test for impairment is required to be performed by management at least annually. Recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset to the future undiscounted operating cash flow expected to be generated by the asset. If such assets are considered to be impaired, the impairment to be recognized is measured by the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset exceeds the fair value of the asset. Long-lived assets to be disposed of are reported at the lower of carrying amount or fair value less costs to sell.

 

56

 

 

Derivative Instrument Liability

 

We account for derivative instruments in accordance with ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging, which establishes accounting and reporting standards for derivative instruments and hedging activities, including certain derivative instruments embedded in other financial instruments or contracts, and requires recognition of all derivatives on the balance sheet at fair value, regardless of hedging relationship designation. Accounting for changes in fair value of the derivative instruments depends on whether the derivatives qualify as hedge relationships and the types of relationships designated are based on the exposures hedged. At June 30, 2019, we classified a warrant issued in conjunction with a term loan as a derivative instrument designated.

 

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

Not Yet Adopted

 

In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-04, Intangibles - Goodwill and Other: Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment. To simplify the subsequent measurement of goodwill, the update requires only a single-step quantitative test to identify and measure impairment based on the excess of a reporting unit’s carrying amount over its fair value. A qualitative assessment may still be completed first for an entity to determine if a quantitative impairment test is necessary. The update is effective for fiscal year 2021 and is to be adopted on a prospective basis. Early adoption is permitted for interim or annual goodwill impairment tests performed on testing dates after January 1, 2017. We will test goodwill for impairment within one year of the acquisition or annually as of December 1, and whenever indicators of impairment exist.

 

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13 Financial Instruments-Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments, which requires the measurement and recognition of expected credit losses for financial assets held at amortized cost. ASU 2016-13 replaces the existing incurred loss impairment model with an expected loss methodology, which will result in more timely recognition of credit losses. ASU 2016-13 is effective for annual reporting periods, and interim periods within those years beginning after December 15, 2019. We are currently in the process of evaluating the impact of the adoption of ASU 2016-13 on our consolidated financial statements.

 

Recently Adopted

 

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases. This ASU is a comprehensive new leases standard that amends various aspects of existing guidance for leases and requires additional disclosures about leasing arrangements. It will require companies to recognize lease assets and lease liabilities by lessees for those leases classified as operating leases under previous GAAP. Topic 842 retains a distinction between finance leases and operating leases. The classification criteria for distinguishing between finance leases and operating leases are substantially similar to the classification criteria for distinguishing between capital leases and operating leases in the previous leases guidance. The ASU is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those fiscal years; and earlier adoption is permitted. In the financial statements in which the ASU is first applied, leases shall be measured and recognized at the beginning of the earliest comparative period presented with an adjustment to equity. Practical expedients are available for election as a package and if applied consistently to all leases. As part of our adoption, we elected the following practical expedients: we have not reassessed whether any expired or existing contracts are or contain leases, we have not reassessed lease classification for any expired or existing leases; we have not reassessed initial direct costs for any existing leases; and we have not separated lease and non-lease components. The adoption of the standard did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements and related disclosures. The comparative periods have not been restated for the adoption of ASU 2016-02.

 

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK.

 

Not applicable.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES.

 

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

 

We maintain disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or the Exchange Act). Disclosure controls and procedures refer to controls and other procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the Securities and Exchange Commission and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

 

As required by Rule 13a-15(e) of the Exchange Act, our management has carried out an evaluation, with the participation and under the supervision of our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures, as of September 30, 2019. Based upon, and as of the date of this evaluation, our chief executive officer and chief financial officer determined that, because of the material weaknesses described in Item 9A “Controls and Procedures” of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2018, which we are still in the process of remediating as of September 30, 2019, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective. Investors are directed to Item 9A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2018 for the description of these weaknesses.

 

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

 

We regularly review our system of internal control over financial reporting and make changes to our processes and systems to improve controls and increase efficiency, while ensuring that we maintain an effective internal control environment. Changes may include such activities as implementing new, more efficient systems, consolidating activities, and migrating processes.

 

During its evaluation of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of September 30, 2019, our management identified the following material weaknesses:

 

  We did not have appropriate policies and procedures in place to evaluate the proper accounting and disclosures of key documents and agreements.

 

  We do not have sufficient and skilled accounting personnel with an appropriate level of technical accounting knowledge and experience in the application of accounting principles generally accepted in the United States commensurate with our financial reporting requirements.

 

As disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2018, our management has identified the steps necessary to address the material weaknesses, and in the third quarter of fiscal 2019, we continued to implement the following remedial procedures:

 

  Once we raise additional funds, Robert D. Barry, CPA intends to resign as a director of our company and will become our Chief Financial Officer. Mr. Barry has more than 10 years of experience acting as chief financial officer of various companies and has significant GAAP and SEC reporting experience.

 

  We plan to make necessary changes by providing training to our financial team and our other relevant personnel on the GAAP accounting guidelines applicable to financial reporting requirements.

 

  We plan to hire a financial controller for Neese. Mr. Barry is acting as interim controller for Neese until a permanent controller is hired.

 

  We have engaged the outsourced accounting and financial reporting services of Carrollton Partners, LLC and will continue to use its services after Robert D. Barry assumes the role of Chief Financial Officer.

 

We intend to complete the remediation of the material weaknesses discussed above as soon as practicable but we can give no assurance that we will be able to do so. Designing and implementing an effective disclosure controls and procedures is a continuous effort that requires us to anticipate and react to changes in our business and the economic and regulatory environments and to devote significant resources to maintain a financial reporting system that adequately satisfies our reporting obligations. The remedial measures that we have taken and intend to take may not fully address the material weaknesses that we have identified, and material weaknesses in our disclosure controls and procedures may be identified in the future. Should we discover such conditions, we intend to remediate them as soon as practicable. We are committed to taking appropriate steps for remediation, as needed.

 

Other than in connection with the implementation of the remedial measures described above, there were no changes in our internal controls over financial reporting during the third quarter of fiscal 2019 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
