Independent Auditor’s Report

 

 

 

To the Member of

Reach Construction Group, LLC:

 

We have audited the accompanying financial statements of Reach Construction Group, LLC, which com- prise the balance sheet as of December 31, 2018, and the related statements of income and member’s deficit, and cash flows for the year then ended, and the related notes to the financial statements.

 

Management’s Responsibility For The Financial Statements

 

Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these financial statements in ac- cordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America; this includes the design, implementation, and maintenance of internal control relevant to the preparation and fair presenta- tion of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

 

Auditor’s Responsibility

 

Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit. We conducted our audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free from material misstatement.

 

An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditor’s judgment, including the as- sessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the entity’s preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity’s internal control. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes evaluating the appropri- ateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of significant accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements.

 

We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.

 

Opinion

 

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Reach Construction Group, LLC as of December 31, 2018, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the year then ended in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

 

Substantial Doubt About The Company’s Ability To Continue As a Going Concern

 

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 11 to the financial statements, at December 31, 2018, the Company had a $454,591 working capital deficit and a $363,717 retained deficit in equity. These factors create a substantial doubt whether the Company is capable to continue as a going concern. Management’s evalu- ation of the events and conditions and management’s plans regarding these matters are also described in Note 11. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty. Our opinion is not modified with respect to that matter.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

DECEMBER 31, 2018

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:

 

 

a.

The Company's Activities, Operating Cycle and Use of Estimates:

The Company is engaged in solar farm construction in North Carolina. The work is performed under unit-price and fixed-price contracts modified by incentive and penalty provisions.

 

The operating cycle of the Company's contracts varies, but is typically about one year. Assets and liabilities related to long-term contracts are included in current assets and liabilities in the accompanying Balance Sheet, as they will be liqui- dated in the normal course of contract completion, although this may require more than one year, depending on the contract period.

 

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

 

 

b.

Revenue and Cost Recognition:

Revenues from long-term construction contracts for financial reporting purposes are reported on the percentage-of-completion method. The percentage com- pleted for each contract is determined by the ratio of cost to date to estimated total cost, and this percentage is applied to the total estimated profit to determine the profit earned to date. That method is used because management considers total cost to be the best available measure of progress on the contract. No gross profit is recognized until the contract has reached 10% of completion. Because of the inherent uncertainties in estimating costs, it is at least reasonably possible that estimates used will change within the near term. Contract costs include direct materials, labor and payroll taxes, subcontracts and other direct costs as well as indirect costs such as depreciation, insurance, fuel, repairs and unassigned labor which are essential for contract performance. General and administrative costs are charged to expense as incurred. Provision is made for the entire amount of future estimated losses on contracts in the period when it first becomes known. Claims for additional contract compensation are not reflected in the accounts until the year in which such claims are allowed. When contracts extend over one or more fiscal years, revisions in cost and earnings estimated during the course of the work are reflected in the accounting period in which the facts which require revision become known. The asset, "cost and estimated profit in excess of billings on uncompleted contracts", represents revenues recognized in excess of the amounts billed. The liability, "billings in excess of cost and estimated profit on uncompleted contracts", represents billings in excess of revenues recognized.

 

Income from construction contracts for income tax purposes is reported on the cash basis method of accounting. Under this method, income on long-term contracts is recognized upon receipt and expenses when paid.

c.

Property and Equipment:

Property and equipment are carried at cost. Major additions and betterments are charged to property accounts while maintenance and repairs which do not improve or extend the life of the respective assets are expensed currently. Depreciation is provided for over the estimated useful lives of the respective assets by using the straight-line method which approximates the decline in value of the assets. Property items retired, or otherwise disposed of, are eliminated from the asset accounts and accumulated depreciation accounts. Gains and losses from disposals are included in earnings.

 

 

d.

Accounts Receivable:

Accounts receivable are stated at the amounts expected to be collected in future periods. Doubtful accounts are eliminated from accounts receivable by the direct write-off method. Subsequent collections of accounts which have been written off are reported as income in the period collected. The Company uses the direct write-off method due to the historically immaterial amounts of bad debts incurred. The direct write-off method is not in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. Had generally accepted accounting principles been used, the financial statements taken as a whole would not change materially from the statements presented.

 

The schedule of aged accounts receivable for current billings at December 31, 2018, is as follows:

 

    0 - 30 Days   $ 82,629          
  31 - 60 Days     42,230          
  61 - 90 Days     220          
Over 90 Days     5,219          
            $ 130,298  

 

As of the date of the report, the Company had collected all of the foregoing balance of accounts receivable.

 

 

e.

Supplemental Cash Flow Information:

For purposes of the Statement of Cash Flows, the Company considers all highly liquid debt instruments purchased with maturities of three months or less to be cash equivalents.

 

In 2018, there were non-cash investing and financing activities of $111,889, rep- resenting the purchase of fixed assets and assumption of notes payable, which are not reflected in the Statement of Cash Flows.

 

In 2018, there were non-cash investing and financing activities of $41,910, representing the disposal of a vehicle and the payment to a former member, which are not reflected in the Statement of Cash Flows.

Advertising costs are expensed as incurred.

 

 

g.

Subsequent Events:

Management has evaluated subsequent events through July 22, 2020, which is the date the financial statements were available to be issued.

 

 

2.

INCOME TAXES:

 

The Company’s member elected to be taxed as an “S” Corporation under the Internal Revenue Code and similar state law. Instead of paying company income taxes, the member is taxed individually on the Company’s pass through income. Therefore, no provision or liability for Federal or state income taxes has been made.

 

Management continually evaluates its income tax position based on tax laws and regulations and records adjustments as appropriate. This evaluation takes into consideration the status of any taxing authorities’ examinations, recent positions taken by the taxing authorities and the overall tax environment. As of December 31, 2018, management estimates that upon audit, the effects of any uncertain tax positions would be non-material to the financial statements as a whole. The tax returns filed by the Company are subject to examination, generally for three years after they were filed. As of December 31, 2018, there were no audits in process by Federal or state agencies.

GOING CONCERN:

 

Management believes the Company's present cash flows indicate there is substantial doubt as to the Company's ability to continue as a going concern as they will not enable it to meet its obligations for twelve months from the date these financial statements are available to be issued. Management has developed a plan to address this issue. The Company sold in April, 2020 to Orbital Energy Group, Inc., a publicly-traded company listed on the Nasdaq. Reach will rely on the Parent Company's cash balance and positive working capital that the Parent Company will manage in the next twelve months. In addition, the Company has increased forecasted revenues for the remainder of 2020 and 2021, which are expected to provide increasing cash flows and profitability based on project schedules, budgets, and the Company’s ability to execute on these projects. The Parent Company may need to seek additional funding sources in the form of debt or equity during the next twelve months. Con- sidering the above factors, and additional measures that may be available to generate cash, management believes the Company will have sufficient cash flows to meet its obligations for the twelve-month period from the date the financial statements are available to be issued. However, the ability to meet obligations depends on the Company's ability to execute on its plans, of which success cannot be assured. As such, substantial doubt has not been alleviated.

Independent Auditor’s Report

 

 

 

To the Member of

Reach Construction Group, LLC:

 

We have audited the accompanying financial statements of Reach Construction Group, LLC, which com- prise the balance sheet as of December 31, 2019, and the related statements of income and member’s deficit, and cash flows for the year then ended, and the related notes to the financial statements.

 

Management’s Responsibility For The Financial Statements

 

Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these financial statements in ac- cordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America; this includes the design, implementation, and maintenance of internal control relevant to the preparation and fair presenta- tion of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

 

Auditor’s Responsibility

 

Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit. We conducted our audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free from material misstatement.

 

An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditor’s judgment, including the as- sessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the entity’s preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity’s internal control. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes evaluating the appropri- ateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of significant accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements.

 

We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.

 

Opinion

 

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Reach Construction Group, LLC as of December 31, 2019, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the year then ended in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

 

Substantial Doubt About The Company’s Ability To Continue As a Going Concern

 

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 11 to the financial statements, at December 31, 2019, the Company had a $10,769,401 working capital deficit and a $10,735,198 retained deficit in equity. These factors create a substantial doubt whether the Company is capable to continue as a going concern. Management’s eval- uation of the events and conditions and management’s plans regarding these matters are also described in Note 11. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty. Our opinion is not modified with respect to that matter.

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:

 

 

a.

The Company's Activities, Operating Cycle and Use of Estimates:

The Company is engaged in solar farm construction primarily in North Carolina. The work is performed primarily for private entities under unit-price and fixed-price contracts modified by incentive and penalty provisions. Payment is typically due in installments, based on terms specified in the contracts.

 

The operating cycle of the Company's contracts varies, but is typically about one year. Assets and liabilities related to long-term contracts are included in current assets and liabilities in the accompanying Balance Sheet, as they will be liqui- dated in the normal course of contract completion, although this may require more than one year, depending on the contract period.

 

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

 

 

b.

Revenue and Cost Recognition:

On January 1, 2019, the Company adopted Accounting Standards Update 2014- 09 (ASC Topic 606), “Revenue from Contracts with Customers” using the modi- fied retrospective method of transition in which the new guidance was applied retrospectively to contracts that were not completed as of January 1, 2019. Based on management’s evaluation of the contracts-in-progress, there are no material retrospective adjustments as of December 31, 2018.

 

The Company considers each contract to be one performance obligation, unless circumstances dictate otherwise. Some of the Company’s contracts may contain multiple performance obligations. For contracts with multiple performance obli- gations, the Company allocates the contract's transaction price to each perfor- mance obligation using the Company’s best estimate of the standalone selling price of each distinct good or service in the contract. Revenue is recognized as performance obligations are satisfied.

 

The Company evaluates whether two or more contracts should be combined and accounted for as one single contract and whether the combined or single contract should be accounted for as more than one performance obligation. This evalua- tion requires significant judgment and the decision to combine a group of con- tracts or separate the combined or single contract into multiple performance obli- gations could change the amount of revenue and profit recorded in a given period.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Continued)

 

Revenues from long-term construction contracts for financial reporting purposes are reported on the percentage-of-completion method (an input method). The percentage completed for each contract is determined by the ratio of cost to date to estimated total cost, and this percentage is applied to the total estimated profit to determine the profit earned to date. That method is used because management considers total cost to be the best available measure of progress on the contract. When the Company determines there are significant uninstalled ma- terials on a contract, the Company recognizes revenue for the transfer of the goods, but only in an amount equal to the cost of those goods. In those circum- stances, the Company excludes the costs of the goods from the cost-to-cost cal- culation to be consistent with the cost-to-cost methodology. No gross profit is recognized until the contract has reached 10% of completion. Because of the inherent uncertainties in estimating costs, it is at least reasonably possible that estimates used will change within the near term. Contract costs include direct materials, labor and payroll taxes, subcontracts and other direct costs as well as indirect costs such as depreciation, insurance, repairs and unassigned labor which are essential for contract performance. General and administrative costs are charged to expense as incurred. Provision is made for the entire amount of future estimated losses on contracts in the period when it first becomes known. Contract modifications are routine in the performance of the Company's contracts. Contracts are often modified to account for changes in the contract specifications or requirements. In most instances, contract modifications are for goods or ser- vices that are not distinct, and, therefore, are accounted for as part of the existing contract. The nature of the Company’s contracts gives rise to several types of variable consideration, including claims and award and incentive fees. The Com- pany includes in the contract estimates additional revenue for submitted contract modifications or claims against the customer when the Company believes it has an enforceable right to the modification or claim, the amount can be estimated reliably, and its realization is probable. In evaluating these criteria, the Company considers the contractual/legal basis for the claim, the cause of any additional costs incurred, the reasonableness of those costs and the objective evidence available to support the claim. The Company includes award or incentive fees in the estimated transaction price when there is a basis to reasonably estimate the amount of the fee. These estimates are based on historical award experience, anticipated performance and the Company’s best judgment at the time. When contracts extend over one or more fiscal years, revisions in cost and earnings estimated during the course of the work are reflected in the accounting period in which the facts which require revision become known. The asset, "cost and esti- mated profit in excess of billings on uncompleted contracts", represents revenues recognized in excess of the amounts billed. The liability, "billings in excess of cost and estimated profit on uncompleted contracts", represents billings in excess of revenues recognized. The liability “accrued losses on contracts-in-progress”, rep- resents estimated losses on uncompleted contracts in excess of the amounts rec- ognized on the percentage-of-completion method of accounting.

 

Income from construction contracts for income tax purposes is reported on the cash basis method of accounting. Under this method, income on long-term contracts is recognized upon receipt and expenses when paid.

 

 

c.

Property and Equipment:

Property and equipment are carried at cost. Major additions and betterments are charged to property accounts while maintenance and repairs which do not improve or extend the life of the respective assets are expensed currently.

Depreciation is provided for over the estimated useful lives of the respective assets by using the straight-line method which approximates the decline in value of the assets. Property items retired, or otherwise disposed of, are eliminated from the asset accounts and accumulated depreciation accounts. Gains and losses from disposals are included in earnings.

 

 

d.

Accounts Receivable:

Accounts receivable are stated at the amounts expected to be collected in future periods. Doubtful accounts are eliminated from accounts receivable by the direct write-off method. Subsequent collections of accounts which have been written off are reported as income in the period collected. The Company uses the direct write-off method due to the historically immaterial amounts of bad debts incurred. The direct write-off method is not in accordance with generally accepted account- ing principles. Had generally accepted accounting principles been used, the financial statements taken as a whole would not change materially from the statements presented.

 

The schedule of aged accounts receivable for current billings at December 31, 2019, is as follows:

 

    0 - 30 Days     $ 1,755,473          
  31 - 60 Days       1,932,117          
  61 - 90 Days                  
Over 90 Days       5,850          
              $ 3,693,440  

     

As of the date of the report, the Company had collected $2,976,871 of the fore- going balance of accounts receivable. None of the over ninety days accounts receivable were collected.

 

 

e.

Supplemental Cash Flow Information:

For purposes of the Statement of Cash Flows, the Company considers all highly liquid debt instruments purchased with maturities of three months or less to be cash equivalents.

 

In 2019, there were non-cash investing and financing activities of $278,504, rep- resenting the purchase of fixed assets and assumption of notes payable, which are not reflected in the Statement of Cash Flows.

 

In 2019, there were non-cash investing activities of $47,383, representing the trade-in of fixed assets, which are not reflected in the Statement of Cash Flows.

 

In 2019, there were non-cash investing and financing activities of $56,134, repre- senting the disposal of fixed assets and payment of notes payable, which are not reflected in the Statement of Cash Flows.

Subsequent Events:

Management has evaluated subsequent events through July 22, 2020, which is the date the financial statements were available to be issued.

 

 

2.

INCOME TAXES:

 

The Company’s member elected to be taxed as an “S” Corporation under the Internal Revenue Code and similar state law. Instead of paying company income taxes, the member is taxed individually on the Company’s pass through income. Therefore, no provision or liability for Federal or state income taxes has been made.

 

Management continually evaluates its income tax position based on tax laws and regulations and records adjustments as appropriate. This evaluation takes into consideration the status of any taxing authorities’ examinations, recent positions taken by the taxing authorities and the overall tax environment. As of December 31, 2019, management estimates that upon audit, the effects of any uncertain tax positions would be non-material to the financial state- ments as a whole. The tax returns filed by the Company are subject to examination, gener- ally for three years after they were filed. As of December 31, 2019, there were no audits in process by Federal or state agencies.

GOING CONCERN:

 

Management believes the Company's present cash flows indicate there is substantial doubt as to the Company's ability to continue as a going concern as they will not enable it to meet its obligations for twelve months from the date these financial statements are available to be issued. Management has developed a plan to address this issue. The Company sold in April, 2020 to Orbital Energy Group, Inc., a publicly-traded company listed on the Nasdaq. Reach will rely on the Parent Company's cash balance and positive working capital that the Parent Company will manage in the next twelve months. In addition, the Company has increased forecasted revenues for the remainder of 2020 and 2021, which are expected to provide increasing cash flows and profitability based on project schedules, budgets, and the Company’s ability to execute on these projects. The Parent Company may need to seek additional funding sources in the form of debt or equity during the next twelve months. Con- sidering the above factors, and additional measures that may be available to generate cash, management believes the Company will have sufficient cash flows to meet its obligations for the twelve-month period from the date the financial statements are available to be issued. However, the ability to meet obligations depends on the Company's ability to execute on its plans, of which success cannot be assured. As such, substantial doubt has not been alleviated.

UNCERTAINTY:

 

Subsequent to December 31, 2019, local, U.S., and world governments have encouraged self-isolation to curtail the spread of the global pandemic, coronavirus disease (COVID-19), by mandating temporary work stoppage in many sectors and imposing limitations on travel and size and duration of group meetings. Most industries are experiencing disruption to business operations and the impact of reduced consumer spending. There is unprecedented uncertainty surrounding the duration of the pandemic, its potential economic ramifications, and any government actions to mitigate them. Accordingly, while management cannot quan- tify the financial and other impact to the Company as of July 22, 2020, management believes that a material impact on the Company's financial position and results of future operations is reasonably possible.

 

At December 31, 2019, the Company has approximately $1.2 million of accounts receivable that is currently in dispute by the owner on eight different projects. The Company has antic- ipated approximately $1.8 million of change orders on uncompleted projects that have not been recorded. In August, 2020, mediation is scheduled to resolve all claims and counter- claims.

 

At December 31, 2019, the Company recorded approximately $700,000 of disputed liabilities to a subcontractor. These labilities are recorded in the accompanying financial statements. Management believes the matter will be resolved as the changes are in excess of the exe- cuted contracts.

 

The Company is involved in various other lawsuits and disputes, none of which have been resolved as of the date of this report. No adjustment has been recorded in the accompanying financial statements should the Company ultimately be unsuccessful with these aforemen- tioned issues.

SUBSEQUENT EVENTS:

 

In April, 2020, the Company was acquired by Orbital Energy Group, Inc., a publically traded company.

Reach Construction Group, LLC

Notes to Unaudited Financial Statements

 

1.SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:

 

 

a.

The Company's Activities, Operating Cycle and Use of Estimates:

 

                      The Company is engaged in solar farm construction primarily in North Carolina. The work is performed primarily for private entities under unit-price and fixed-price contracts modified by incentive and penalty provisions. Payment is typically due in installments, based on terms specified in the contracts.

 

The operating cycle of the Company's contracts varies, but is typically about one year. Assets and liabilities related to long-term contracts are included in current assets and liabilities in the accompanying Balance Sheet, as they will be liquidated in the normal course of contract completion, although this may require more than one year, depending on the contract period.

 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles 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 revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

 

 

b.

Revenue and Cost Recognition:

 

On January 1, 2019, the Company adopted Accounting Standards Update 2014- 09 (ASC Topic 606), “Revenue from Contracts with Customers” using the modified retrospective method of transition in which the new guidance was applied retrospectively to contracts that were not completed as of January 1, 2019. Based on management’s evaluation of the contracts-in-progress, there were no material retrospective adjustments as of December 31, 2018.

 

The Company considers each contract to be one performance obligation, unless circumstances dictate otherwise. Some of the Company’s contracts may contain multiple performance obligations. For contracts with multiple performance obligations, the Company allocates the contract's transaction price to each performance obligation using the Company’s best estimate of the standalone selling price of each distinct good or service in the contract. Revenue is recognized as performance obligations are satisfied.

 

The Company evaluates whether two or more contracts should be combined and accounted for as one single contract and whether the combined or single contract should be accounted for as more than one performance obligation. This evaluation requires significant judgment and the decision to combine a group of contracts or separate the combined or single contract into multiple performance obligations could change the amount of revenue and profit recorded in a given period.

 

Revenues from long-term construction contracts for financial reporting purposes are reported on the percentage-of-completion method (an input method). The percentage completed for each contract is determined by the ratio of cost to date to estimated total cost, and this percentage is applied to the total estimated profit to determine the profit earned to date. That method is used because management considers total cost to be the best available measure of progress on the contract. When the Company determines there are significant uninstalled materials on a contract, the Company recognizes revenue for the transfer of the goods, but only in an amount equal to the cost of those goods. In those circum- stances, the Company excludes the costs of the goods from the cost-to-cost calculation to be consistent with the cost-to-cost methodology. No gross profit is recognized until the contract has reached 10% of completion. Because of the inherent uncertainties in estimating costs, it is at least reasonably possible that estimates used will change within the near term. Contract costs include direct materials, labor and payroll taxes, subcontracts and other direct costs as well as indirect costs such as depreciation, insurance, repairs and unassigned labor which are essential for contract performance. General and administrative costs are charged to expense as incurred. Provision is made for the entire amount of future estimated losses on contracts in the period when it first becomes known. Contract modifications are routine in the performance of the Company's contracts. Contracts are often modified to account for changes in the contract specifications or requirements. In most instances, contract modifications are for goods or services that are not distinct, and, therefore, are accounted for as part of the existing contract. The nature of the Company’s contracts gives rise to several types of variable consideration, including claims and award and incentive fees. The Company includes in the contract estimates additional revenue for submitted contract modifications or claims against the customer when the Company believes it has an enforceable right to the modification or claim, the amount can be estimated reliably, and its realization is probable. In evaluating these criteria, the Company considers the contractual/legal basis for the claim, the cause of any additional costs incurred, the reasonableness of those costs and the objective evidence available to support the claim. The Company includes award or incentive fees in the estimated transaction price when there is a basis to reasonably estimate the amount of the fee. These estimates are based on historical award experience, anticipated performance and the Company’s best judgment at the time. When contracts extend over one or more fiscal years, revisions in cost and earnings estimated during the course of the work are reflected in the accounting period in which the facts which require revision become known. The asset, "cost and estimated profit in excess of billings on uncompleted contracts,” represents revenues recognized in excess of the amounts billed. The liability, "billings in excess of cost and estimated profit on uncompleted contracts,” represents billings in excess of revenues recognized. The liability “accrued losses on contracts-in-progress,” represents estimated losses on uncompleted contracts in excess of the amounts recognized on the percentage-of-completion method of accounting.

 

Income from construction contracts for income tax purposes is reported on the cash basis method of accounting. Under this method, income on long-term contracts is recognized upon receipt and expenses when paid.

 

 

c.

Property and Equipment:                                                                                                                       

Property and equipment are carried at cost. Major additions and betterments are charged to property accounts while maintenance and repairs, which do not improve or extend the life of the respective assets are expensed currently. Depreciation is provided for over the estimated useful lives of the respective assets by using the straight-line method which approximates the decline in value of the assets. Property items retired, or otherwise disposed of, are eliminated from the asset accounts and accumulated depreciation accounts. Gains and losses from disposals are included in earnings.

 

4

 

 

d.

Accounts Receivable:                                                                                                                                              

Accounts receivable are stated at the amounts expected to be collected in future periods. Doubtful accounts are eliminated from accounts receivable by the direct write-off method. Subsequent collections of accounts which have been written off are reported as income in the period collected. The Company uses the direct write-off method due to the historically immaterial amounts of bad debts incurred. The direct write-off method is not in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. Had generally accepted accounting principles been used, the financial statements taken as a whole would not change materially from the statements presented.

 

2.           INCOME TAXES:

 

The Company’s member elected to be taxed as an “S” Corporation under the Internal Revenue Code and similar state law. Instead of paying company income taxes, the member is taxed individually on the Company’s pass-through income. Therefore, no provision or liability for Federal or state income taxes has been made.

 

Management continually evaluates its income tax position based on tax laws and regulations and records adjustments as appropriate. This evaluation takes into consideration the status of any taxing authorities’ examinations, recent positions taken by the taxing authorities and the overall tax environment. As of March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, management estimates that upon audit, the effects of any uncertain tax positions would not be material to the financial statements as a whole. The tax returns filed by the Company are subject to examination, generally for three years after they were filed. As of March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, there were no audits in process by Federal or state agencies.

UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

On April 1, 2020, Orbital Energy Group, Inc. formerly known as CUI Global, Inc., a Colorado corporation (“Orbital Energy”, the “Company”, “we”, or “our”) entered into an equity purchase agreement to acquire the assets of Reach Construction Group, LLC ("Reach"), an industry-leading solar construction company.  The Company paid $35 million via seller financing subject to final working capital adjustment, 2 million shares of Company stock with a fair value of $1.2 million or $0.61 per share, and an earn out with a fair value of $1.1 million and not in excess of $30 million. See Note 5 for schedule of consideration paid for acquisition. 

 

The following unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet as of March 31, 2020 and statements of operations for the year ended December 31, 2019 and for the three-month period ended March 31, 2020, give effect to our acquisition of Reach and the incremental borrowings incurred to fund the acquisition. The historical consolidated financial information has been adjusted in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined statements of operations to give effect to or remove the effect of events that are (1) directly attributable to the Reach acquisition, (2) factually supportable, and (3) expected to have a continuing impact on our results. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined statements of operations do not reflect any of Orbital Energy management’s expectations for revenue enhancements, cost savings from the combined companies’ operating efficiencies, synergies or other restructurings, or the costs and related liabilities that would be incurred to achieve such revenue enhancements, cost savings from operating efficiencies, synergies or restructurings, which could result from the Reach acquisition.

 

The following pro forma financial information is based on our historical consolidated financial statements and the historical financial statements of the acquired Reach business and is intended to provide you with information about how the Reach transaction might have affected our historical consolidated statement of operations if it had closed as of January 1, 2019. The pro forma balance sheet as of March 31, 2020 is as if the acquisition had closed on that date.

 

The pro forma financial information below is based on available information and assumptions that we believe are reasonable. The pro forma financial information is for illustrative and informational purposes only and is not intended to represent or be indicative of what our results of operations would have been had the transaction described above occurred on the date indicated. The pro forma financial information also should not be considered representative of our future financial condition or results of operations.

NOTES TO UNAUDITED PRO FORMA FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

 

     1. Basis of Pro Forma Presentation

 

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined statements of operations have been prepared using the historical consolidated financial statements of Orbital Energy Group, Inc., formerly known as CUI Global Inc., and the historical financial statements of Reach Construction Group, LLC.  Because we now control Reach Construction Group, LLC, we have applied acquisition accounting as if the acquisition had closed as of January 1, 2019 for the pro forma statement of operations and as if the acquisition had closed as of March 31, 2020 for the the pro forma balance sheet. Purchase accounting adjustments are further described in Note 3 below.

 

In addition to presenting Orbital Energy Group operations as reported in our historical financial statements, our unaudited condensed combined pro forma statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2019 includes the results of Reach Construction Group, LLC for the year ended December 31, 2019. We believe presenting these combined results is useful in illustrating the presentation of our pro forma condensed combined statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2019.

 

2.   Conformity Adjustments

 

Certain reclassifications have been made to the historical presentation of Orbital Energy Group, LLC to conform to the presentation used in our  unaudited pro forma financial information as follows.

 

 

a.

Represents a reclassification from Trade accounts receivable to Retention accounts receivable

 

 

b.

Represents a reclassification from Accrued expenses to Financing lease obligations, current portion

 

3.

Transaction-Related Adjustments

 

 

a.

Represents the elimination of a $3.0 million Note receivable held by Orbital Energy Group, Inc. with Reach Construction Group, LLC, prior to the acquisition of Reach Construction Group, LLC by Orbital Energy Group, Inc.

 

 

b.

Represents Orbital Energy Group, Inc.'s adoption of ASU 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842) effective January 1, 2019.  The adoption of ASU 2016-02 was not applicable in the Reach historical financials, as that business had not yet implemented ASC 842.  

 

 

c.

Represents the implied goodwill of the Reach Construction Group, LLC purchased by Orbital Energy Group, Inc.

 

 

d.

Represents the the addition of Orbital Energy's fair value estimate of the acquired Reach Construction Group LLC intangibles. Other intangible assets, acquired values, useful lives and pro forma amortization expense is as follows:

Total

   $ 13,737              $ 4,249      $ 593  

 

 

 

e.

Represents seller financed debt including a $5.0 million 18-month subordinated note payable, and a $1.5 million 3-year subordinated note payable, offset by $0.4 million of Reach debt that was reclassified to Financing lease obligations. 

 

 

f.

Represents the estimated fair value at acquisition of the contingent consideration agreement. In accordance with the Reach purchase agreement, the Seller is able to earn up to an aggregate maximum of $30 million payable over a 10-year term beginning after repayment of the 3 year seller note. The earn out entitles the seller to 50% of the adjusted annual EBITDA in excess of $20 million, for the duration of the earn-out period.  The Company has recorded a contingent liability associated with this earn out of $1.1 million based on projected adjusted annual EBITDA expected to be generated over the earn-out period. Any changes to expected adjusted annual EBITDA in future periods would change the fair value of the contingent liability and impact future earnings.

 

 

g.

Represents the tax effect of the amortization of book-tax differences as a result of purchase accounting adjustments.

 

 

h.

Represents the estimated fair value at acquisition of 2,000,000 restricted shares issued by Orbital Energy Group, Inc. as partial consideration for the purchase of Reach Construction Group, LLC.

 

 

i.

Represents reversal of historical Reach Construction Group, LLC accumulated deficit as of the acquisition date.

 

 

j.

Represents the estimated amortization of acquisition intangibles.

 

 

k.

Represents estimated interest expense on seller financed debt.

Preliminary Purchase Price Allocation – The total purchase price as summarized below was allocated to the acquired tangible and intangible assets and liabilities for purposes of this unaudited pro forma condensd combined financial information, based on their estimated relative fair values assuming the acquisition was completed on the pro forma balance sheet date presented. The final allocation, expected to complete during the third quarter of 2020, will be based upon valuations and other studies for which there is currently insufficient information to make a definitive allocation. Accordingly, the purchase price allocation adjustments are preliminary and have been made solely for the purpose of providing unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information. The final purchase price allocation will be determined after completion of a thorough analysis to determine the fair value of the accrued tangible assets and liabilities, including fixed assets, and identifiable intangible assets and liabilities. Accordingly, the final purchase accounting adjustments, including those resulting from conforming accounting policies to those of the Company, could differ materially from the pro forma adjustments presented herein. Any increase or decrease in the fair value of the acquired tangible and identifiable intangible assets and liabilities, as compared to the information shown herein, will also change the portion of purchase price allocable to goodwill and could impact the operating results of the combined company following the acquisition due to differences in amortization related to the assets and liabilities.
