Description of the transaction

 

On November 3, 2017, Chicken Soup for the Soul Entertainment, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (“Agreement) with SMV Merger Sub, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Merger Sub”), and Screen Media Ventures, LLC (“Screen Media”), its wholly owned subsidiary, whereby the Company acquired all of the outstanding equity ownership interests in Screen Media from Merger Sub for a total purchase price of $5,329,905. The Company paid the purchase price using cash on hand and by issuing Class Z warrants to purchase up to an aggregate of 50,000 shares of the Company’s Class A common stock at $12.00 per share to the former principal equity holder and chief executive officer of Screen Media (“Mr. Kovacs”). Additionally, on January 2, 2018, the Company issued 35,000 shares of the Company’s Class A common stock to Mr. Kovacs.

 

Basis of presentation

 

The Company accounted for the acquisition of Screen Media as a business combination as prescribed in Accounting Standards Codification 805, “Business Combinations” (“ASC 805”). In accordance with ASC 805, the Company applied the acquisition method of accounting. The acquisition method of accounting requires, among other things, that the assets acquired and the liabilities assumed in a business combination be measured at their fair values as of the closing date of the transaction.

 

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated combined balance sheet as of September 30, 2017 has been presented as if the acquisition of Screen Media had occurred on September 30, 2017.

 

The accompanying unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated combined statements of operations for the year ending December 31, 2016 and for the nine-month period ending September 30, 2017, are presented as if the acquisition of Screen Media had occurred on January 1, 2016.

 

These unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated combined statements should be read in connection with (1) the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements on Form 1-A POS for the year ended December 31, 2016 and the notes thereto, filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, (2) the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements on Form 10-Q for the period ended September 30, 2017 and the notes thereto, filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, (3) the audited consolidated financial statements of Screen Media for the years ended December 31, 2016, 2015 and 2014 and the notes thereto, included as Exhibit 99.1 and Exhibit 99.2 to this Current Report on Form 8-K/A, and (4) the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of Screen Media for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016 and the notes thereto, included as Exhibit 99.3 to this Current Report on Form 8-K/A.

 

In management’s opinion, all adjustments necessary to reflect the significant effects of these transactions have been made. These consolidated financial statements are based on assumptions and estimates considered appropriate by our management; however, they are unaudited and are not necessarily, and should not be assumed to be, an indication of our financial position or results of operations that would have been achieved had the acquisitions been completed as of the dates indicated or that may be achieved in the future. The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated combined statements of operations do not include the effects of any cost savings that may result from operating efficiencies as a result of this transaction. The historical financial information has been adjusted in the accompanying unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated combined financial statements to give effect to pro forma events that are (1) directly attributable to the transaction, (2) factually supportable and (3) with respect to the unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated combined statements of operations, are expected to have a continuing impact on the combined results.

 

The Company prepared the unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated combined financial information pursuant to Regulation S-X Article 11 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Accordingly, our cost to acquire Screen Media of approximately $5.3 million has been allocated to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed according to their fair values at the date of acquisition, as determined by an independent, third party valuation. The excess of the fair value of the net assets acquired over the purchase price paid has been recorded as gain on bargain purchase in the accompanying unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated balance sheet. The preliminary fair values are reflected in the accompanying unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated combined financial information to understand the impact of this transaction to our financial results. As permitted, the final determination of these fair values will be completed as soon as possible but no later than one year from the acquisition date to record any updates in fair value amounts included herein that may arise. Although the final determination may result in asset and liability fair values that are different than the preliminary estimates of these amounts included herein, it is not expected that those differences will be material to an understanding of the impact of this transaction to our financial results.

NOTES TO UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

Note 1 – Description of Transaction

 

On November 3, 2017, Chicken Soup for the Soul Entertainment, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (“Agreement) with SMV Merger Sub, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Merger Sub”), and Screen Media Ventures, LLC (“Screen Media”), its wholly owned subsidiary, whereby the Company acquired all of the outstanding equity ownership interests in Screen Media from Merger Sub for a purchase price of $5,329,905. The Company paid the purchase price with cash and by issuing Class Z warrants to purchase up to an aggregate of 50,000 shares of the Company’s Class A common stock at $12.00 per share to the former principal equity holder and chief executive officer of Screen Media (“Mr. Kovacs”). Additionally, on January 2, 2018, the Company issued 35,000 shares of the Company’s Class A common stock to Mr. Kovacs.

 

Note 2 – Basis of Presentation and Purchase Price Allocation

 

These pro forma financial statements were prepared using the purchase method of accounting in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board’s Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 805, Business Combinations, and using the fair value concepts defined in ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures. Certain reclassifications have been made to the historical financial statements of Screen Media to conform to the Company’s presentation. Under the purchase method of accounting, the total consideration transferred will be allocated to Screen Media assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on the estimated fair value of Screen Media tangible and intangible assets and liabilities as of the beginning of business on November 3, 2017. The excess of the net tangible and intangible assets over total consideration paid, approximately $22.2 million, is recorded as gain on bargain purchase.

 

The total consideration of $5,329,905 that was transferred to acquire Screen Media is comprised of $4,905,355 in cash, $281,050 fair value of the Company’s Class A common stock (measured on the acquisition date) and $143,500 fair value of the Class Z warrants issued. The equity consideration is calculated based on 35,000 shares of the Company’s Class A common stock issued at a closing stock price on November 3, 2017 of $8.03 per share. The equity warrants consideration is calculated based on Class Z warrants exercisable to purchase up to an aggregate of 50,000 shares of the Company’s Class A common stock at $12.00 per share at a fair value price per warrant of $2.87.

 

The Company has made an allocation of the total purchase price consideration based on fair valuation of net assets acquired from Screen Media as of November 3, 2017 as follows:

 

Purchase Price Consideration Allocation:

 

Cash consideration  $4,905,355 
      
Equity consideration - Class A common stock   281,050 
      
Equity consideration - Class Z warrants   143,500 
      
Purchase price consideration   5,329,905 
      
Less: cash acquired   (221,541)
      
Total purchase consideration, less cash acquired  $5,108,364 

 

 5 

 

 

 

Purchase price consideration allocated to fair value of net assets acquired:

 

Accounts receivable, net  $2,605,654 
      
Prepaid expenses   175,719 
      
Video inventory   330,478 
      
Property and equipment, net   123,115 
      
Popcornflix film rights and other assets   8,325,562 
      
SMV Film library, net   19,614,043 
      
Assets acquired   31,147,571 
      
Accounts payable and accrued expenses   (774,349)
      
Customer deposits   (210,846)
      
Accrued participations payable   (2,137,983)
      
Film obligations   (723,600)
      
Liabilities assumed   (3,846,778)
      
Gain on bargain purchase   (22,219,429)
      
Total purchase consideration, less cash acquired  $5,108,364 

 

As the gain on bargain purchase is a material nonrecurring charge, it has been excluded from the pro forma condensed combined statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2016 and for the nine months ended September 30, 2017.

 

The Company paid the cash portion of the total consideration using cash on hand. The Company paid transaction related fees and expenses of approximately $2.2 million for the acquisition, including legal fees, accounting fees and investment advisory fees, of which $617,500 was paid on closing date of the acquisition. The transaction related fees and expenses have been included in the pro forma adjustments on the September 30, 2017 Pro Forma Condensed Consolidated Combined Balance Sheet and the Pro Forma Condensed Consolidated Combined Statement of Operations for the year ended December 31, 2016 and for the nine months ended September 30, 2017.

 

The preliminary estimates of fair values are reflected in the accompanying unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated combined financial information to understand the impact of this transaction to our financial results. As permitted, the final determination of these fair values will be completed as soon as possible but no later than one year from the acquisition date to record any updates in fair value amounts included herein that may arise. Although the final determination may result in asset and liability fair values that are different than the preliminary estimates of these amounts included herein, it is not expected that those differences will be material to an understanding of the impact of this transaction to our financial results.
