INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT

To the Board of Directors of

Hollandia Produce Group, Inc. and its subsidiaries:

Opinion

We have audited the accompanying consolidated financial statements of Hollandia Produce Group, Inc. and its subsidiaries, which comprise the consolidated balance sheets as of December 31, 2021 and 2020, and the related consolidated statements of operations, changes in owners’ investment and cash flows for the years then ended, and the related notes to the consolidated financial statements.

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of Hollandia Produce Group, Inc. and its subsidiaries, as of December 31, 2021 and 2020, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for the years then ended in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Basis for Opinion

We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Consolidated Financial Statements section of our report. We are required to be independent of Hollandia Produce Group, Inc. and to meet our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with the relevant ethical requirements relating to our audits. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.

Responsibilities of Management for the Consolidated Financial Statements

Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the consolidated financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, and for the design, implementation, and maintenance of internal control relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of consolidated financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

In preparing the consolidated financial statements, management is required to evaluate whether there are conditions or events, considered in the aggregate, that raise substantial doubt about Hollandia Produce Group, Inc. and its subsidiaries’ ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the date that the consolidated financial statements are available to be issued.

Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Consolidated Financial Statements

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance but is not absolute assurance and therefore is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control. Misstatements are considered material if there is a substantial likelihood that, individually or in the aggregate, they would influence the judgment made by a reasonable user based on the consolidated financial statements.

In performing an audit in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards, we:

 

•

Exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit.

 

•

Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, and design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks. Such procedures include examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements.

 

•

Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit 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 Hollandia Produce Group, Inc. and its subsidiaries’ internal control. Accordingly, no such opinion is expressed.

 

•

Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of significant accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluate the overall presentation of the consolidated financial statements.

 

•

Conclude whether, in our judgment, there are conditions or events, considered in the aggregate, that raise substantial doubt about Hollandia Produce Group, Inc. and its subsidiaries’ ability to continue as a going concern for a reasonable period of time.

We are required to communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit, significant audit findings, and certain internal control related matters that we identified during the audit.

1.	ORGANIZATION AND NATURE OF BUSINESS

Hollandia Produce Group, Inc. (“HPGI”) was formed on October 6, 2015, as an S corporation and all shares and member units of the former combining group were contributed by the shareholders with a high degree of common ownership in exchange for capital stock in HPGI. The contribution was initially accounted for as a common control transaction and therefore the assets and liabilities were transferred at the carrying amount from the accounts of the various transferring entities, which include Hollandia Produce, LP (“LP”), formed in 2014, Hollandia Flowers, Inc. (“INC”), founded in 1970, Green Growth Consulting, LLC (“GGC”), beginning business in 2010, Advanced Sustain Ability, LLC (“ASA”) beginning business in 2011, Hollandia Real Estate, LLC (“RE”) beginning business in 2020, and Hollandia Georgia, LLC (“GA”) beginning business in 2021 (collectively with HPGI, “the Company”).

Effective December 31, 2015, 100% of the outstanding shares of the Company were purchased by the Hollandia Produce Group, Inc. Employee Stock Ownership Trust (“ESOP”) in a leveraged buyout, which was considered a change of control and accounted for under the acquisition method of accounting in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 805, Business Combinations (“ASC 805”), under which the purchase price was allocated to the assets acquired net of the liabilities assumed based on the estimated fair values at the closing.

The Company borrowed from various lenders described more fully in Note 10 and lent to the ESOP. The ESOP bought certain shares of the Company from the shareholders and the Company redeemed the balance of the shares leaving the ESOP with 100% of the outstanding shares. The ESOP is controlled by an independent trustee.

The Company is located in Carpinteria and Oxnard, California, along with a new location under construction that is expected to be completed in 2022 in Warner Robbins, Georgia, specializing in greenhouse hydroponically grown leafy green vegetables marketed under the brand name “Pete’s,” and other brands sold under a white label. The Company sells produce on approved credit to supermarket chains, specialty retailers and through distributors located throughout the United States.

 

2.	SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Accounting Method The Company maintains its accounting records on an accrual method of accounting in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“US GAAP”).

Principles of Consolidation The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of HPGI, LP, INC, GGC, ASA, RE, and GA. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated upon consolidation.

Use of Estimates The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with US GAAP requires the Company to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the consolidated financial statements, as well as revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Such estimates include allowances for doubtful accounts and notes receivable, reserves for inventory obsolescence, fair value of the common stock, and fair values of the related party earnout and the related party stock warrants. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Impact of Coronavirus Pandemic In 2019, a strain of coronavirus disease (“COVID-19”) was first reported in Wuhan, China. In March 2020, the World Health Organization declared COVID-19 a global pandemic, and as a result many businesses were affected and continues to be impacted. Management does not anticipate COVID-19 to have a significant impact to the Company’s financial performance.

Revenue Recognition In accordance with FASB ASC Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“ASC 606”), the Company recognizes revenue upon shipment of the product to the customer, which is typically the same day the customer receives and takes physical possession of the product. The amount of revenue recognized reflects the consideration to which the Company expects to be entitled to receive in exchange for these goods, using the five-step method required by ASC 606, as follows:

 

Step 1:

Identification of the customer contract

 

Step 2:

Identification of the performance obligations in the contract

 

Step 3:

Determination of the transaction price

 

Step 4:

Allocation of the transaction price to each of the performance obligations in the contract

 

Step 5:

Recognition of revenue when, or as, each of the identified performance obligations is satisfied

The Company adopted this standard as of January 1, 2019, with no material impact to its consolidated financial position or results of operations, using the modified retrospective method.

For the Company, the contract is the customer’s approved purchase orders, which may also be supplemented by other agreements that formalize various terms and conditions with customers. The Company applies judgment in determining the customer’s ability and intention to pay, which is based on a variety of factors including the overall condition of the general economy and the customer’s historical payment experience.

Performance obligations promised in a contract are determined based on each individual purchase order and the respective quantities delivered, with revenue being recognized at a point in time when obligations under the terms of the agreement are satisfied. This generally occurs with the transfer of control on the day the product is received by the customer. The Company invoices for sales upon shipment of goods and therefore does not have deferred revenue or unbilled accounts receivable.

The Company accounts for product shipping and handling as fulfillment activities with revenues for these activities recorded within net revenues and costs recorded within overhead expenses on the accompanying consolidated statements of operations. Any taxes collected on behalf of government authorities are excluded from net sales. The Company does not receive noncash consideration for the sale of goods nor does the Company grant payment financing terms greater than one year.

Variable consideration related to volume-based customer rebates and allowances is estimated utilizing the expected value method. Variable consideration related to promotional allowances, or other revenue adjustments such as product returns, trade discounts, spoilage and chargebacks is estimated using the most likely method. Key sales terms, such as pricing and services, are established on a frequent basis such that most customer arrangements and related incentives have a one year or shorter duration. As such, the Company does not capitalize contract inception costs.

The Company sells primarily four leafy green varieties of produce, which are grown with both conventional and organic growing methods, and are sold under the Pete’s Private labels. The Company manufactured 96% and 94% of its products for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively.

The Company analyzes net revenues based on the following segments:

 

		December 31, 2021								December 31, 2020
For the Years Ended:		Amount				Percent				Amount				Percent
Conventional		$	14,096,456				62.0			$	13,930,186				63.1
Organic			7,929,469				34.9				7,639,327				34.6
Packaged salads			420,631				1.9				—				0.0
Meal kit			207,227				0.9				519,032				2.3
Fruit			67,089				0.3				—				0.0
Total net revenues		$	22,720,872				100.0			$	22,088,545				100.0

Contract Balances The timing of revenue recognition, billings, and cash collections results in billed accounts receivable on the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. As of December 31, 2021, 2020, and 2019, accounts receivable associated with products provided amounted to $1,862,539, $1,720,602, and $1,753,505, respectively. In addition, the Company does not grant payment financing terms greater than one year.

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

Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Doubtful Accounts Accounts receivable are stated at amounts due from customers net of an allowance for doubtful accounts. The allowance provides for probable uncollectible accounts based upon the Company’s assessment of the current status of each individual account. Uncollectible accounts are written off after all attempts at collection have been pursued and collection is very unlikely. As of December 31, 2021 and 2020, the allowance for doubtful accounts amounted to $33,752 and $28,349, respectively.

Financial Instruments and Concentrations of Business and Credit Risk Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of business and credit risk consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents, and accounts receivable. The Company maintains cash balances that at times exceed amounts insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation. The Company has not experienced any losses in these accounts and believes it is not exposed to any significant credit risk in this area.

The Company generally performs ongoing credit evaluations of its customers. The Company had one customer that accounted for approximately 14% of net sales, and two customers that accounted for approximately 29% of net sales for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively. Amounts outstanding from these customers represented approximately 18% and 27% of total accounts receivable as of December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively.

The Company’s supplier concentrations expose the Company to business risks which the Company mitigates by attempting to diversify its supply chain. The Company had two suppliers that accounted for approximately 43% of total purchases, and one supplier that accounted for approximately 16% of total purchases for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively. Amounts outstanding to these suppliers represented approximately 35% and 20% of total accounts payable as of December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively.

Related Party Notes Receivable Loans receivable from related parties are stated at unpaid principal balances. Interest on loans is recognized over the term of the loan and is calculated using the simple-interest method on principal amounts outstanding.

Inventories Inventories are stated at the lower of cost (first-in, first-out) or net realizable value (“NRV”), and include material, labor and factory overhead. Cost is estimated based on actual costs and management’s best judgment of the costs applicable to each stage of the growing process. NRV is defined as the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less reasonably predictable costs of completion, disposal and transportation. The Company evaluates the need for inventory reserves associated with obsolete, slow-moving, and non-sellable inventory by reviewing estimated NRV on a periodic basis.

Property, Plant, and Equipment Property, plant, and equipment are stated at cost, net of accumulated depreciation and amortization. Depreciation and amortization are provided for primarily on the straight-line method over 3 to 39 years. Leasehold improvements are amortized using the straight-line method over their estimated useful lives or the related lease term, whichever is shorter.

Betterments, renewals, and extraordinary repairs that materially extend the useful life of the asset are capitalized; other repairs and maintenance charges, which do not materially improve or extend the life of the respective assets, are expensed as incurred. The cost and related accumulated depreciation and amortization applicable to assets retired are removed from the accounts, and the gain or loss on disposition, if any, is recognized on the accompanying consolidated statements of operations for the period.

Impairment of Long-lived Assets In accordance with FASB ASC Topic 360, Property, Plant and Equipment – Impairment or Disposal of Long Lived Assets (“ASC 360”), long-lived assets with estimable useful lives are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset to the estimable undiscounted future cash flows expected to be generated by the asset. If this carrying amount of the asset exceeds its estimated future cash flows, an impairment charge is recognized in the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset exceeds the fair value of the asset. No impairment losses of long-lived assets or intangible assets with estimated useful lives were recognized for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020.

Goodwill The Company accounts for goodwill in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 350, Intangibles, Goodwill and Other (“ASC 350”), which allows private companies to amortize goodwill on a straight-line basis over ten years or less, depending on management’s estimate, in lieu of testing goodwill for impairment on an annual basis, unless there is a triggering event during the year which would indicate potential impairment. The Company is amortizing goodwill over a period of ten years. No impairment of goodwill has been recorded for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020.

Intangible Assets Intangible assets are stated at acquisition cost less accumulated amortization. Intangible assets recorded in business combinations are recorded at fair value on the date of acquisition in accordance with ASC 805. Amortization is provided on the accelerated and straight-line methods over the estimated useful lives of the definite-lived intangible assets, which range from 5 to 10 years.

ASC 350 requires that intangible assets with estimable useful lives be amortized over their respective estimated useful lives to their estimated residual values and reviewed for impairment in accordance with ASC 360. Based on the application of impairment testing as discussed above, management deemed that the fair value of intangible assets with estimable useful lives exceeds their carrying values; accordingly, no impairment of these intangible assets has been recorded for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020.

Employee Stock Ownership Plan The Company accounts for the leveraged ESOP in accordance with FASB ASC Subtopic 718-40, Compensation – Stock Compensation – Employee Stock Ownership Plans (“ASC 718-40”). Under ASC 718-40, the ESOP loan obligation is considered unearned employee benefit expense and, as such, the Company records this as a reduction to owners’ investment. As the Company makes contributions to the ESOP, these contributions, plus any dividends paid on unreleased shares, are used by the ESOP to repay its debt. As this occurs, the ESOP releases shares proportionately to the debt service.

Income Taxes On January 1, 2016, the Company elected to convert from a C corporation to an S corporation under the Internal Revenue Code (“IRC”). As a result of this election, the Company does not incur federal taxes at the entity level. Instead, its earnings and losses are passed through to the shareholders and included in the shareholders’ income tax returns. However, the Company is subject to state income taxes at the California tax rate of 1.5% for S corporations. Management believes that all shareholders are qualifying shareholders under IRC S corporation regulations. Additionally, should the stockholders decide to sell the assets of the Company within a five-year period from the S corporation election date, the Company may be liable for federal and state built-in gains tax.

The Company follows the provisions of FASB ASC 740, Income Taxes (“ASC 740”). ASC 740 prescribes a recognition threshold measurement attributed for financial recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return and also provides guidance on various related matters, such as de-recognition, interest and penalties, and disclosure.

The Company evaluates uncertain tax positions by considering the tax years subject to potential audit under state and federal income tax law and identifying favorable tax positions that do not meet the threshold of more likely than not to prevail if challenged by tax authorities that would have a direct impact on the Company as opposed to an impact to the shareholders. Management believes that the Company has not taken any uncertain tax positions that have a more likely than not chance of not being sustained upon examination by the tax authorities. Accordingly, no liability for uncertain tax positions has been recorded in the accompanying consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 2021 and 2020. With few exceptions, the Company is no longer subject to income tax examination by state tax authorities for tax years through 2017, and by the Internal Revenue Service for tax years through 2018, and no examinations are currently pending.

Shipping and Handling Costs The Company incurred shipping and handling costs of $1,011,138 and $908,740, which are expensed as incurred and included in overhead operating expenses on the accompanying consolidated statements of operations for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively.

Advertising Advertising costs are expensed as incurred. Total advertising expenses amounted to $169,178 and $131,319, and are included in selling expenses on the accompanying consolidated statements of operations for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively.

Fair Value Measurement The Company applies the provisions of the fair value measurement standard, FASB ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (“ASC 820”), when determining fair values on a recurring and nonrecurring basis.

ASC 820 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value under US GAAP and enhances disclosures about fair value measurements. Fair value is defined under ASC 820 as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date.

Valuation techniques used to measure fair value under ASC 820 must maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. The standard describes a fair value hierarchy based on three levels of inputs, of which the first two are considered observable and the last unobservable, that may be used to measure fair value.

The three levels of the fair value hierarchy under ASC 820 are as follows:

 

Deferred Debt Issuance Costs Deferred debt issuance costs represent fees incurred as a result of financing transactions. These fees are capitalized and amortized to interest expense over the terms of the related financing agreements using the straight-line method, which approximates the effective interest method. In accordance with FASB ASC 835-30, Interest – Imputation of Interest, deferred debt issuance costs are presented, net of accumulated amortization, as an asset for amounts relating to revolving lines of credit and as direct deductions from the face amounts of all other related long-term debt, consistent with debt discounts.

Paycheck Protection Program Loan In May 2020, the Company received a loan pursuant to the Paycheck Protection Program (“PPP”) under the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (the “CARES Act”), which was enacted on March 27, 2020. The PPP is administered by the U.S. Small Business Administration (the “SBA”). The Company accounts for the loan under the PPP (the “PPP Loan”) as a financial liability in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 470, Debt (“ASC 470”). The Company does not impute additional interest at a market rate even though the stated interest rate under the PPP may be below market. Transactions, where interest rates are prescribed by governmental agencies, are excluded from the scope of FASB ASC Subtopic 835-30, Interest – Imputation of Interest. In accordance with ASC 470, the proceeds from the PPP Loan remained recorded as a liability until the loan was wholly forgiven. On April 6, 2021, the entire PPP loan balance of $1,627,055 along with interest of $15,156 was forgiven by the SBA. The forgiven loan balance is included in other income on the accompanying consolidated statements of operations for the year ended December 31, 2021.

Leases In prior years, the Company’s leases were accounted for under the provisions of FASB ASC Topic 840, Leases, which required leases to be evaluated and classified as operating or capital leases for financial reporting purposes. Costs for operating leases that include incentives such as payment escalations or rent abatements are recognized on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease. The Company recognized a deferred rent liability for minimum step rents when the amount of rent expense exceeds the actual lease payments, and it reduced the deferred rent liability when the actual lease payments exceed the amount of straight-line rent expense. Rent holidays and tenant improvement allowances are amortized on a straight-line basis over the initial term of the lease and any option period that is reasonably assured of being exercised. As of December 31, 2020, the Company had no capital leases.

In February 2016, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842) (“ASU 2016-02”), to increase transparency and comparability among organizations by requiring

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

DECEMBER 31, 2021 AND 2020

 

 

 

the recognition of right-of-use (“ROU”) assets and lease liabilities on the consolidated balance sheets. The ROU model requires the Company to record a ROU asset and a lease liability, measured on a discounted basis, on the consolidated balance sheets for all leases with terms greater than 12 months. Leases will be classified as either finance or operating, with classification affecting the pattern of expense recognition in the consolidated statements of operations.

In addition, in July 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-11, Leases (Topic 842) – Targeted Improvements (“ASU 2018-11”), which among other changes, provides an additional transition method that would allow the Company to not apply the guidance in ASU 2016-02 in the comparative periods presented in the consolidated financial statements, and instead, recognize a cumulative-effect adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings in the period of adoption related to leases existing at the adoption date.

The Company elected to early-adopt ASU 2016-02 and its related amendments as of January 1, 2021, which resulted in the recognition of finance ROU assets and finance lease liabilities totaling $8,705,663 and $9,828,873 as of December 31, 2021, respectively. The Company has elected to apply the modified retrospective transition method, in accordance with ASU 2018-11, resulting in an increase of $165,126 in accumulated deficit as of the opening balance date for the year ended December 31, 2021. The standard had a material impact on the accompanying consolidated balance sheets but did not have a material impact on the accompanying consolidated statements of operations. The most significant impact was the recognition of ROU assets and lease liabilities related to land and facility leases previously classified as operating leases under ASC 840.

Following adoption of ASC 842, at lease inception, the Company determines whether an arrangement is or contains a lease. The Company has elected not to recognize ROU assets and lease liabilities for leases with a term of 12 months or less. In accordance with Subtopic 842-20-25-2, lease payments related to short-term leases shall be recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term on the accompanying consolidated statements of operations. Additionally, variable lease payments excluded in the measurement of ROU assets and lease liabilities shall be recognized during the period in which they are incurred on the accompanying consolidated statements of operations. See Note 12 for variable and short-term lease expenses recognized, and included in overhead operating expenses in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations for the year ended December 31, 2021.

ROU assets represent the Company’s right to use leased assets over the term of the lease. Lease liabilities represent the Company’s contractual obligation to make lease payments over the lease term.

For operating leases, ROU assets and lease liabilities are recognized at the commencement date. The lease liability is measured as the present value of the future minimum lease payments over the lease term. When the rate implicit in the lease is not determinable, ASC 842 prescribes the use of the Company’s incremental borrowing rate at the commencement date of the lease to determine the present value of the minimum lease payments. ROU assets are calculated as the present value of the remaining lease payments plus unamortized initial direct costs plus any prepayments less any unamortized lease incentives received. Lease terms may include renewal or extension options to the extent they are reasonably certain to be exercised. The assessment of whether renewal or extension options are reasonably certain to be exercised is made at lease commencement. Factors considered in determining whether an option is reasonably certain of exercise include, but are not limited to, the value of any leasehold improvements, the value of renewal rates compared to market rates, and the presence of factors that would cause a significant economic penalty to the Company if the option were not exercised. Lease expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term and shall be included in overhead operating expenses on the accompanying consolidated statements of operations.

DECEMBER 31, 2021 AND 2020

 

 

 

For finance leases, subsequent to lease commencement, the lease liability is measured on an amortized cost basis and increased to reflect interest on the liability and decreased to reflect the lease payments made during the period. Interest on the lease liability is determined each period during the lease term as the amount that results in a constant period discount rate on the remaining balance of the liability. The ROU asset is subsequently measured at cost, less any accumulated amortization and any accumulated impairment losses. Amortization of the ROU asset is recognized over the period from the commencement date to the earlier of (1) the end of the useful life of the ROU asset, or (2) the end of the lease term.

To the extent a lease arrangement includes both lease and non-lease components, the components are accounted for separately. The transaction price is allocated to the lease and non-lease components based on a relative stand-alone price basis. Additionally, modification to an existing lease shall be accounted for as a separate lease when the following conditions are present: (1) the modification grants the Company an additional right of use not included in the original lease and (2) the lease payments increase commensurate with the standalone price for the additional right of use, adjusted for the circumstances of the particular contract.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13 Topic 326, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (“ASU 2016-13”), which in conjunction with subsequent amendments issued by the FASB amends the FASB’s guidance on the impairment of financial instruments. The ASU adds to US GAAP an impairment model (known as the “current expected credit loss model”) that is based on expected losses rather than incurred losses. For private companies, ASU 2016-13 is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2022. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the timing and impact of adoption on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

On June 30, 2020, in conjunction with a refinancing transaction in which funds were obtained through a mortgage and sale-leaseback transaction (the “Refinance”) (see Note 12), the Company borrowed $29,200,000 from STORE Capital Acquisitions, LLC under a mortgage agreement. The principal accrues interest at 9.00% per annum, with interest payments paid monthly. The promissory note allows a total principal payment of up to $45,350,000. From June 30, 2020 through December 31, 2021, the Company received additional principal loan payments, totaling $4,000,000, resulting in an outstanding balance on the mortgage of $33,200,000 as of December 31, 2021. Throughout the duration of the mortgage, the Company will make interest payments monthly until the maturity date of the mortgage, which is May 31, 2055.

On March 9, 2018, the Company issued a structured equity note to HFSN LLC, a related party, in the amount of $1,500,000 in lieu of payment of the working capital liability. The terms of the note are 8.00% PIK interest with an amended maturity date of July 31, 2022. The note is subordinated to all of the Company’s indebtedness and liabilities.

The structured equity loans require interest PIK. PIK interest accrues monthly and is added to the outstanding principal balance of the loans, the total of which bears interest at the above stated rates. The Company has the option of paying the PIK interest in cash that would otherwise be added to the principal balance of the note.

The notes payable agreements contain financial debt covenants requiring minimum debt service and debt leverage ratios. The Company was in compliance with these covenants as of December 31, 2021 and 2020.

9.	RELATED PARTY STOCK WARRANTS AND EARNOUT LIABILITY

Related party stock warrants were issued alongside structured equity notes payable shown in Note 8. The related party stock warrants are exercisable at a price of $0.01 per share to certain structured equity note holders and at a price of $1.80 per share to all other structured equity note holders. Warrants to purchase 434,819 shares in the Company were issued to the various structured equity note holders. The related party stock warrants are exercisable in whole or in part from their date of issue through December 31, 2025. No related party stock warrants have been exercised through the date of independent auditor’s report. The related change in the fair value of related party stock warrants as of December 31, 2021 and 2020 amounted to a decrease of $176 and $185,908, respectively, and is included in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations.

The fair value for the related party stock warrants was calculated using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following assumptions:

 

As of December 31, 2021		Assumptions
Dividend yield			0.00	%
Volatility			80.00	%
Risk free interest rate			1.90	%
Expected life			4 years

The related party earnout allows for a maximum payment of $4,000,000. The determination of related party earnout liability is based on a series of calculations driven by the return that the new investors receive on their investment in the Company over a five-year period, or longer if the investors elect to defer the determination date. Using Level 3 inputs provided by management, the expected actual earnout payment is determined and then discounted by the Company’s cost of equity to arrive at the liability amount. As of December 31, 2021 and 2020, there was no expected fair value of the related party earnout liability and there was no change in the fair value of related party earnout liability for the years then ended, respectively.

Fair value of the related party stock warrants and earnout liability, which are both measured using Level 3 inputs, recorded through the change of control transaction during 2015 measured on a recurring basis is as follows:

 

As of December 31, 2021		Related Party Earnout				Related Party Stock Warrants
Balance as of December 31, 2019		$	—			$	188,068
Change in fair value			—				(185,908	)
Balance as of December 31, 2020			—				2,160
Change in fair value			—				(176	)
Balance as of December 31, 2021		$	—			$	1,984

The Company obtained an independent third party valuation of its common stock and remeasured the earnout liability and related party stock warrants using a discounted cash flow analysis and the Black-Scholes option pricing model, respectively, as of December 31, 2021 and 2020. Material level 3 inputs into the analysis included a risk-free rate of return of 1.9% based on the yield of 20-year U.S. Treasury notes and a required return on equity of 14.4%.

 

10.	EMPLOYEE STOCK OWNERSHIP PLAN

On December 31, 2015, the Company adopted an ESOP, a defined contribution plan (the “Plan”) under Section 4975(e)(7) of the Internal Revenue Code and the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended (“ERISA”). The effective date of the ESOP was December 31, 2015. The ESOP covers all eligible employees who have completed one year of employment with 1,000 hours of service and attained age 21.

Employees become vested over a six-year period, as follows:

 

Years of service		Vested Percentage
Less than 2			0	%
2			20	%
3			40	%
4			60	%
5			80	%
6 or more			100	%

Pursuant to applicable law, contributions are discretionary and determined by resolution of the Board of Directors of the Company and may be made in cash or in shares of Company stock. Contributions shall be made in cash to the extent necessary to enable the Trustee to pay any maturing obligations under any outstanding ESOP loan. Employees are not permitted to make contributions.

The Plan is designed to invest primarily in capital stock originally issued by the Company. Currently, the assets of the Plan are invested in the capital stock of the Company and cash-equivalent investments. In 2015, the Plan was leveraged when the ESOP Trust borrowed $27,066,016 from the Company and used the proceeds to purchase 680,036 shares of the Company’s capital stock from the shareholders. This loan has a term of 40 years and is due and payable on December 31, 2055.

The Company’s separate loans from various lenders, including some that were refinanced during the year ended December 31, 2020 (see Note 8), for which the proceeds used financed this leveraged ESOP transaction, have terms of 5 to 35 years and are unconditionally guaranteed by the Company.

Therefore, the unpaid balance of the borrowing is reflected on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets as long-term debt less the portion due in the next calendar year. A corresponding amount representing unearned compensation is recorded as a deduction from owners’ investment. Shares purchased are held in a suspense account for allocation among the participants as the loan is paid. For the year ended December 31, 2015, the Company purchased a total of 680,036 shares for $27,066,016.

Shares allocated and shares remaining in suspense were as follows:

 

For the Years Ended December 31,		2021				2020
Number of shares, released and allocated			166,418				158,043
Number of shares, suspense			513,618				521,993

 

For the Years Ended December 31,		2021				2020
Fair value, released and allocated		$	1,664			$	1,580
Fair value, suspense		$	5,136			$	5,220

The ESOP owns 100% of the Company’s stock. The Independent Trustee of the ESOP holds voting rights with respect to all matters in the Trustee’s discretion. Each participant will be entitled to direct the Trustee as to how to vote shares of Company stock allocated to his or her Company Stock Account with respect to the approval or disapproval of any corporate merger or consolidation, recapitalization, reclassification, liquidation, dissolution, sale of substantially all the assets of the business, or any similar transaction that are specified in regulations interpreting Section 409 (e) (3) of the Internal Revenue Code.

The ESOP is funded by contributions made by the Company in cash with no cost to participants. Contributions to the ESOP and shares released from the suspense account are allocated among participants based on a points system, in the proportion that each participant’s points for the plan year bears to the total points of all participants who are eligible to share in the allocations for that plan year. For this purpose, a participant’s points for the plan year shall be determined based on the total number of points calculated by adding: (i) 1.0 point for every $1,000 of the participant’s compensation for the plan year (rounded down to the nearest multiple of $1,000) and (ii) 0.5 points for each year of service by the participant (including, for this purpose, Years of Service prior to the Effective Date). A forfeiture shall occur under this plan as of the last day of the plan year in which the participant first incurs five consecutive one-year break-in-service. Forfeitures arising under the plan may first be used to reduce Company contributions and pay plan expenses prior to being allocated among participants’ accounts.

For the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, compensation expense relating to the ESOP amounted to $17,354 and $14,482, respectively, and is included in operating expenses on the accompanying consolidated statements of operations.

Under the terms of the ESOP written plan document, distributions of the balances credited to a participant’s accounts will be made by the Trustee by payment in a series of substantially equal annual or more frequent installments over a period not to exceed five years. However, the period over which installments may be paid may be extended by one year for each $230,000, the limit for 2021 and 2020, or fraction thereof by which the balances credited to the participant’s account exceeds $1,165,000, the limit for 2021 (but the period over which installments may be paid may not be extended by more than four years). The $230,000 and $1,165,000 ESOP limits as of December 31, 2021 will be adjusted each year to take into account any cost-of living increase adjustment provided for that year under Section 409(o) of the Internal Revenue Code. If the Company is an S corporation for federal income tax purposes, then the distribution of the balance credited to the participant’s Company Stock Account shall be made in the form of cash.

11.	PROFIT SHARING PLAN

The Company sponsors a 401(k) profit sharing plan for eligible employees. Eligible employees may make pretax contributions and may be eligible for additional employer contributions which are deposited at year end.

LEASES

Sale-Leaseback Transaction On June 30, 2020, in conjunction with the Refinance, the Company purchased two parcels of land, which were previously leased from related parties, and sold those two parcels along with a third parcel of land the Company already owned to STORE Capital Acquisitions, LLC (“STORE Capital Acquisitions” or the “Buyer”). The Company acquired the two parcels of land from the related party for $3,209,370, and $4,535,880. The third parcel of land that the Company already owned had a book value of $4,640,000. The three parcels of land together had a book value of $12,385,250. The Company sold the three parcels of land for $7,650,000, resulting in a net loss upon sale of $4,735,250, which has been recognized in loss on sale of property and equipment on the accompanying consolidated statements of operations for the year ended December 31, 2020. The Company then entered into the Master Lease Agreement (the “Lease Agreement”), and leased the parcels of land back from the Buyer under a 20-year non-cancelable operating lease under ASC 840, with two optional extensions of five years each and a third optional extension of four years and eleven months. Under the operating lease accounted for in accordance with ASC 840 for the year ended December 31, 2020, rent expense related to the lease was $738,855 for the year ended December 31, 2020 and is included in overhead expenses on the accompanying consolidated statements of operations. Deferred rent on the lease as of December 31, 2020 was $394,605 and is included in deferred rent on the accompanying consolidated balance sheet.

Transition to ASC 842 Upon adoption of ASC 842 on January 1, 2021, the Company reevaluated the classification of the lease discussed above, resulting in a change in classification from an operating lease under ASC 840 to a finance lease under ASC 842. Under ASC 842, if a previous sale and leaseback transaction was accounted for as a sale and a leaseback in accordance with ASC 840, the Company is not required to reassess the transaction to determine whether the transfer of the asset and subsequent lease qualifies as a sale and leaseback, respectively.

On April 30, 2021, the Company purchased a parcel of vacant land located in Warner Robins, Georgia, and simultaneously sold the property to STORE Capital Acquisitions. The Company acquired the parcel of land for $500,000, and subsequently sold the property to STORE Capital Acquisitions at cost for $500,000, recognizing no gain or loss related to the transaction. The Lease Agreement was amended on April 30, 2021 to include this additional parcel of land, resulting in a leaseback transaction. Additionally, the amended Lease Agreement includes an increase to the required cash payments and a decrease in the annual rental adjustment rate. In conjunction with the amendment to the Lease Agreement, the Company entered into a Disbursement Agreement with the Buyer, who agrees to provide up to $12,500,000 (the “Construction Funds”) for construction of the facility, improvements, and related costs at the Georgia property, which will subsequently be leased by the Company upon completion. Disbursements from the Construction Funds are made

periodically as payments of construction costs are paid by the Company as incurred. As of December 31, 2021, the Company has received reimbursements in excess of payments in the amount of $158,823, and is included in accrued expenses and other current liabilities on the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. In accordance with the Disbursement Agreement, in addition to the annual rental adjustment occurring on the anniversary of the lease commencement date, each time a disbursement is made from the Construction Fund, the base annual rental shall increase at a capitalization rate equal to the greater of (i) 8.25 % or (ii) the sum of 7.21 % plus the 15-year swap rate in effect four business days prior to the date of disbursement.

The lease modifications included in the amendment on April 30, 2021 resulted in additional rights of use that were not granted in the original Lease Agreement, consisting of the Georgia land and Georgia facility. Consequential lease payment increases commensurate with the standalone price for the additional rights of use, adjusted for the circumstances of the particular contract. Therefore, the Company accounted for the modifications as separate leases, segregating the lease of the Georgia land and Georgia facility from the original leased properties. Under the terms of the Disbursement Agreement, the Georgia facility and improvements shall by constructed by the Company but shall be owned by the Buyer at all times, and the Company shall have no interest in the premises, except as otherwise provided in the Lease Agreement and Disbursement Agreement. Furthermore, in accordance with Subtopic 842-40-55-5, the Company does not control the underlying asset being constructed. Therefore, as the Company does not own the properties being constructed nor have control of the assets, the lease of the Georgia facility is not considered to have commenced, and payments made attributed to the leasing of the Georgia facility will be recognized as prepaid rent until completion of the facility. For the year ended December 31, 2021, prepaid rent related to the Georgia facility amounted to $292,201 and is included in prepaid expenses and other current assets on the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.

During the year ended December 31, 2021, the Company paid the security deposit required under the Lease Agreement and Disbursement Agreement, which amounted to $2,210,000, and is included in other assets on the accompanying consolidated balance sheets as of December 31, 2021.

Under ASC 842, the Company has non-cancelable finance leases for land in California and Georgia, along with refrigerated trailers, with remaining lease terms ranging from approximately 6 to 18 years, some of which may include options to extend the leases. For determination of the related finance ROU assets and finance lease liabilities, the Company is not reasonably certain to exercise any option to extend. In addition to the fixed monthly payments, the total monthly lease payment for the refrigerated trailers contains a variable component dependent on mileage and runtime. Furthermore, beginning on the 25^th month of the trailers in-service time and on each in-service anniversary date thereafter, the monthly fixed payments and rates used to calculate the variable costs will increase by 75% and 50%, respectively, of the percentage increase in the consumer price index (“CPI”) for the twelve month period most recently published prior to the date of the increase. Additionally, the Company have short-term evergreen leases for trucks and certain packaging equipment, in which the fixed monthly payments are expensed as incurred. Variable and short-term lease payments are included in overhead expenses in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations for the year ended December 31, 2021.

Exhibit 99.2

Capitalized terms used but not defined in this Exhibit 99.2 shall have the meanings ascribed to them in the Current Report on Form 8-K filed by Local Bounti Corporation (“Local Bounti”) with the SEC on April 7, 2022 (the “Original Report”), as amended by Amendment No. 1 to the Original Report filed by Local Bounti with the SEC on (the “Amendment”), to which this Exhibit 99.2 is attached.

UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS OF LOCAL BOUNTI CORPORATION

Introduction

On April 4, 2022 (the “date of the Pete’s Acquisition”), Company completed the previously announced acquisition (the “Pete’s Acquisition”) of Pete’s pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Purchase Agreements. Pursuant to the Purchase Agreements, Pete’s and its subsidiaries became indirect wholly owned subsidiaries of the Company.

Consideration paid by Local Bounti in connection with the Pete’s Acquisition consisted of $92.5 million in cash and 5,654,000 shares of Local Bounti common stock, which had an original consideration, at the time of signing, of $30.0 million and a fair value of $50.9 million as of the date of the Pete’s Acquisition. The final amount of consideration for the Pete’s Acquisition remains subject to certain post-closing adjustments, including with respect to net working capital (inclusive of cash) and certain assumed liabilities.

Also, on April 4, 2022, in connection with consummating the transactions contemplated by the Purchase Agreements, Pete’s acquired the properties previously being leased by Pete’s from STORE pursuant to certain sale-leaseback agreements between Pete’s and STORE for an aggregate purchase price of $25.8 million in cash (the “Property Acquisition”) and will be accounted for by the Company as an asset acquisition.

The following unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information (the “Pro Forma Financial Statements”) give effect to the Pete’s Acquisition, which has been accounted for using the acquisition method of accounting with Local Bounti identified as the accounting acquirer. Under the acquisition method of accounting, Local Bounti has recorded assets acquired and liabilities assumed from Pete’s at their respective fair values on the closing date of the Pete’s Acquisition.

The Pro Forma Financial Statements have been prepared from the respective historical consolidated financial statements of Local Bounti and Pete’s, adjusted to give effect to the Pete’s Acquisition and Property Acquisition. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet (the “Pro Forma Balance Sheet”) combines the historical consolidated balance sheets of Local Bounti and Pete’s as of December 31, 2021, giving effect to the Pete’s Acquisition and Property Acquisition as if they had been completed on December 31, 2021. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined statements of operations (the “Pro Forma Statements of Operations”) for the year ended December 31, 2021 combine the historical consolidated statements of operations of Local Bounti and Pete’s, giving effect to the Pete’s Acquisition as if it had been completed on January 1, 2021. The Pro Forma Financial Statements contain certain reclassification adjustments to conform the historical Pete’s financial statement presentation to Local Bounti’s financial statement presentation, as described further in Note 4 to the Pro Forma Financial Statements.

The Pro Forma Financial Statements are presented to reflect the Pete’s Acquisition, the Property Acquisition and the financing arrangements of Local Bounti in connection therewith and do not represent what Local Bounti’s financial position or results of operations would have been had the Pete’s Acquisition, the Property Acquisition and the occurred on the dates noted above, nor do they project the financial position or results of operations of the Company at any time following those transactions. The Pro Forma Financial Statements are intended to provide information about the continuing impact of the Pete’s Acquisition and the Property Acquisition as if they had been consummated earlier. The adjustments included in the Pro Forma Financial Statements are based on available information as of the date hereof and certain assumptions that management

believes are factually supportable and are expected to have a continuing impact on Local Bounti’s results of operations with the exception of certain non-recurring charges to be incurred in connection with the Pete’s Acquisition, as further described in Note 5 to the Pro Forma Financial Statements. In the opinion of management, all material adjustments necessary to state fairly the Pro Forma Financial Statements have been made.

Local Bounti and Pete’s have incurred certain non-recurring charges in connection with the Pete’s Acquisition, the substantial majority of which consist of fees paid to financial, legal and accounting advisors and certain bank-related fees. These non-recurring charges could affect the future results of the Company in the period in which such charges are incurred; however, these costs are not expected to be incurred in any period beyond twelve months after the closing date of the Pete’s Acquisition. Accordingly, the Pro Forma Statement of Operations for the year ended December 31, 2021 includes these non-recurring charges and are described in Note 5.

Local Bounti has used information currently available to determine preliminary fair value estimates for the Pete’s Acquisition consideration and its allocation to the tangible assets and identifiable intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed. The fair value of consideration transferred to acquire Pete’s was allocated based upon the estimated fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed as of the date of the Pete’s Acquisition. The assumptions and estimates used to determine the preliminary purchase price allocation and fair value adjustments are described in the notes accompanying the Pro Forma Financial Statements. Additionally, within the measurement period further adjustments to the purchase price allocation may be required as Local Bounti is able to, among other things, complete more detailed procedures to finalize valuations.

The transaction accounting adjustments are preliminary and subject to change as additional information becomes available and additional analysis is performed. As a result, the final purchase price allocation may be materially different than that reflected in the preliminary purchase price allocation presented herein.

The pro forma financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Article 11 of Regulation S-X, with application of SEC Final Rule Release No. 33-10786, Amendments to Financial Disclosures About Acquired and Disposed Businesses. The Pro Forma Financial Statements are provided for illustrative purposes only, based on management’s best estimates and judgments, and does not necessarily reflect what the actual consolidated results of operations of Local Bounti would have been had the Pete’s Acquisition occurred on the dates assumed and may not be useful in predicting the future consolidated results of operations or financial position of the Company. Local Bounti’s results of operations and actual financial position may differ significantly from the pro forma amounts reflected herein due to a variety of factors. Additionally, the Pro Forma Financial Statements have been developed from and should be read in conjunction with the following separate historical consolidated financial statements and related notes thereto for each of Local Bounti and Pete’s:

 

•

the audited consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto of Local Bounti as of and for the year ended December 31, 2021, which are included in Local Bounti’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on March 30, 2022; and
