NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Dollars in thousands, except share and per share amounts)

 

NOTE 1. PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION, BASIS OF PRESENTATION, AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

THE COMPANY – Paragon Financial Corporation (the “Company”) was incorporated in Delaware on August 27, 1999 under the name PRx Holdings, Inc. and operated as an online healthcare destination for commerce, content and community. The Company closed its online health store in March 2001. Shortly thereafter, the Company began the process of liquidating its online health store and seeking a merger partner as an alternative to complete liquidation.

 

Paragon Homefunding, Inc. (“Paragon Delaware”), a privately held, development-stage company based in Ponte Vedra Beach, Florida, was incorporated in Delaware on August 3, 2001, for the purpose of entering the financial services market through acquisitions. On May 31, 2002, the Company merged with Paragon Delaware.

 

Pursuant to the merger, the Company merged with and into Paragon Delaware, and issued 55,560,616 shares of common stock to the Paragon Delaware’s stockholders constituting 90% of the total shares of the Company’s common stock outstanding immediately after the merger. As a result of the merger, Paragon Delaware also assumed approximately $72 of the Company’s accrued liabilities, principally for legal services.

 

For financial reporting purposes, the merger has been accounted for as a recapitalization of Paragon Delaware with Paragon Delaware viewed as the accounting acquiror in what is commonly called a reverse acquisition. Accordingly, the financial statements presented before the merger are those of Paragon Delaware.

 

ACQUISITIONS - On February 2, 2003 the Company completed its merger with Paragon Homefunding, Inc. (“PHF”). PHF has been in the business of originating residential mortgage loans since 1998. Subject to the terms of the merger agreement, at closing, all of the outstanding shares of PHF’s common stock converted into 1,224,000 of shares of the Company’s common stock valued at $836 (approximately $0.6833 per share). Additionally, the Company issued promissory notes to the shareholders of PHF in the aggregate principal amount of $25. The promissory notes accrue interest at 4.92%.

 

The merger was accounted for as acquisitions pursuant to SFAS No. 141, Accounting for Business Combinations (“SFAS 141”). Accordingly, the Company’s results of operations include the operating results of these companies from the effective date of these mergers, February 1, 2003.
