EMC ACQUISITION, LLC

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

(INFORMATION AS OF JUNE 30, 2016 AND FOR THE SIX

MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2016 AND 2015 IS UNAUDITED)

 

1.              Organization and Operations

 

The Company

 

EMC Acquisition, LLC (“EMC” or the “Company”) is a leading provider of fully managed private network telecommunications services. EMC provides integrated data, voice, Internet and data center services to companies and organizations globally where terrestrial communications infrastructure is poor or non-existent. EMC has operations in the United States, Germany, United Arab Emirates, Argentina, Kenya, Spain, Norway, Brazil and Singapore and support offices around the world. As of June 30, 2016, EMC was a wholly owned subsidiary of EMC Acquisition Holdings, LLC (“Parent”). As discussed in Note 19, on July 27, 2016, Global Eagle Entertainment Inc. (“GEE”) acquired all of the outstanding membership interest of the Company.

 

The Company was incorporated in Delaware on October 17, 2012 for the purposes of acquiring Emerging Markets Communications, LLC (“EMC LLC”).

 

The Company is the sole unit-holder of EMC LLC, which was incorporated in Delaware on June 23, 2000 and is headquartered in Miami, Florida. EMC LLC was converted to a Delaware limited liability company (“LLC”) on July 20, 2011 from a Delaware S Corporation. The plan of conversion was dated July 20, 2011 and converted Emerging Markets Communications, Inc. into Emerging Markets Communications, LLC.

 

The Company provides transmission of voice, data, video, client-server applications and internet access mainly through a network that uses Multiple Channel Per Carrier (“MCPC”) and Single Channel Per Carrier (“SCPC”) technology with leased satellite capacity and leased fiber optic. It also offers teleport and data center services through its three proprietary teleports, strategically located in Germany, the United Kingdom and the United States.

 

2.              Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

 

Basis of Presentation

 

The accompanying interim condensed consolidated balance sheet as of June 30, 2016, the condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss and the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, are unaudited.

 

The interim unaudited financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in annual financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted. All adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, have been made, which in the opinion of management, are necessary for a fair presentation of the results of interim periods. The results of operations for such interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for a full year because of, among other things, seasonality factors in the retail business.

 

5



 

Fair Value

 

The Company’s financial instruments consist of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, other receivables, accounts payable, accrued expenses and short-term and long-term debt. The carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, other receivables, accounts payable and accrued expenses are considered a reasonable estimate of their fair value, due to the short-term duration of these instruments. The carrying amounts of outstanding debt approximate fair value because interest rates over the term of these financial instruments approximate current market interest rates available to the Company.

 

The Company is required to disclose information regarding all assets and liabilities reported at fair value that enables an assessment of the inputs used in determining the reported fair values. The Financial Accounting Standards Board (the “FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 820, Fair Value Measurement and Disclosures (“ASC 820”), established a hierarchy of inputs used in measuring fair value that maximizes the use of observable inputs and minimizes the use of unobservable inputs by requiring that the observable inputs be used when available. Observable inputs are inputs that market participants would use in pricing the financial instrument based on market data obtained from sources independent of the Company. Unobservable inputs are inputs that reflect the Company’s assumptions about the inputs that market participants would use in pricing the financial instrument and are developed based on the best information available in the circumstances.

 

The accounting 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, which are the following:

 

·                  Level 1—Quoted prices in active markets that are accessible at the market date for identical unrestricted assets or liabilities.

 

·                  Level 2—Inputs other than Level 1 that are observable, either directly or indirectly, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs for which all significant inputs are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities.

 

·                  Level 3—Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities.

 

To the extent that valuation is based on models or inputs that are less observable or unobservable in the market, the determination of fair value requires more judgment. Accordingly, the degree of judgment exercised by the Company in determining fair value is greatest for instruments categorized in Level 3. A financial instrument’s level within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of any input that is significant to the fair value measurement.

 

An entity may elect to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair value at specified election dates. The Company did not elect to measure any additional financial instruments or other items at fair value.

 

There have been no changes to the valuation methods utilized by the Company during the six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015. The Company evaluates transfers between levels at the end of each reporting period. There were no transfers of financial instruments between levels during the six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015.

 

Adoption of New Accounting Pronouncements and Reclassification of Debt Issuance Costs

 

In April 2015, FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2015-03, Interest—Imputation of Interest: Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs (“ASU 2015-03”), amending the existing accounting

standards for the presentation of debt issuance costs in the statement of financial position. The amendment requires debt issuance costs related to a recognized debt liability to be presented in the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the carrying amount of that debt liability, consistent with the treatment of a debt discount. We adopted this new guidance in January 2016 as required, applying it on a retrospective basis for all balance sheet periods presented.

 

This change in accounting principle will result in a more transparent presentation of debt as debt issuance costs are similar in nature to debt discounts and in effect reduce the proceeds of borrowings as well as impact the effective interest rate on the related debt. Prior to this change in accounting principle, debt issuance costs were included in “Prepaid expenses and other” and “Prepaid expenses and other, non-current” in the condensed consolidated balance sheets.

 

The table below shows the effect of the reclassification of unamortized debt issuance costs associated with our debt in the Company’s  previously reported consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2015 (in thousands):

3.              Member’s Deficit

 

The Company had 100 membership units issued and outstanding as of June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015. Transactions involving Member’s Equity in the Parent resulted in capital contributions to the Company by the Parent.

 

The number of outstanding Class A membership units of Parent as of June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015 was 67,391,511. As of June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, there was a minority member, and officer of the Company, who held 6.1 million Class A units in the Parent.  There was a put right, but not an obligation, to sell the 6.1 million Class A units in the Parent at the maximum amount of $1.00 per unit, upon termination by the Company, or resignation for a good reason, as defined in his employment agreement.

 

The number of outstanding Class B units of Parent, issued as incentive compensation to certain employees of the Company, as of June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, was 8,993,585.

 

Trio Spin-Off transaction

 

On September 30, 2015, the Company completed a spin-off transaction in connection with its Trio and Satlink operations and two STM entities, STM Norway AS and STMEA FZE UAE pursuant to which these operations and entities were spun off to the Company’s then equity holders. Certain assets held at EMC LLC that were part of this transaction generated $40.1 million of dividends distributed by the Company to its owners, of which $35.1 million were non-cash dividends.

 

As part of the transaction, the Parent made a pro-rata distribution of 5,000,000 Class A units of its Trio Connect, LLC (“Trio”) subsidiary to the Parent’s then unit-holders. This pro-rata distribution was made at the carrying amount of net assets. The transaction was accounted for as a spin-off in accordance with FASB Topic 505, Equity (“ASC 505”). As a result, the Company no longer owns any interest in Trio.

4.              Business Combinations

 

SeaMobile/MTN

 

On July 1, 2015 (the “Acquisition Date”), the Company completed its acquisition of 100% of the outstanding stock of SeaMobile, Inc (“SeaMobile) pursuant to an agreement and plan of merger (the “Merger Agreement”) entered into on April 21, 2015. SeaMobile is a global provider of satellite communications, entertainment, and networking services including private network solutions, passenger, administrative and crew telephone services, full-time dedicated data circuits, full-time administrative voice and fax services, stored value telephone access cards, and Internet café solutions. SeaMobile is a leading provider in the maritime industry.

 

Under the terms of the Merger Agreement, the Company paid the former SeaMobile shareholders consideration in cash of $155.5 million and equity in the form of 450,000 Class B Preferred Units in Parent (the “Merger Preferred Units”) with an issue price of $100 per unit. The fair value of the Merger Preferred Units was derived using a yield analysis with the following assumptions: (i) the benchmark credit spread of the Second Lien Term Loan; (ii) base rate of one and two year swap rates, with the assumption that the Merger Preferred Units will be paid off upon a liquidity event in the subsequent twelve to eighteen months; and (iii) an estimated subordination premium of 4% based on the differential between the spreads of the First and Second Lien Term Loan. See Note 12.

 

The Company also repaid $58.7 million of SeaMobile’s debt. The Merger Preferred Units included 193,850 units which were split into 2 tranches, 120,000 units in Tranche A and 73,850 units in Tranche B. The Merger Preferred Units included in Tranches A and B are subject to cancellation pursuant to two escrow mechanisms set forth in the merger agreement, a new contract escrow fund and an indemnification escrow fund, respectively.

 

On February 10, 2016, $18.0 million in escrow related to the transaction was returned to the Company due to the non-renewal of a customer contract. The return of the escrow funds consisted of $6.0 million in cash and $12.0 million in equity value from the 120,000 Tranche A units mentioned above. The return of the escrow amounts is reflected as of December 31, 2015 in the accompanying balance sheet as the triggering event for such return occurred prior to December 31, 2015. The $6.0 million in cash was presented as restricted cash in the accompanying balance sheet.

 

The cash consideration was financed by the Company’s credit facilities entered into on July 1, 2015. See Note 12.

 

8



 

The Company accounted for the acquisition as a business combination and recorded the assets acquired, liabilities assumed, and the estimated future obligations at their respective fair values as of the Acquisition Date.

 

Effective July 1, 2015, SeaMobile’s membership interests were acquired for an aggregate purchase price that was allocated to separately identified assets and liabilities in the total amount of $188.5 million.

In May 2014, the Company and Sun Trust Bank (“First Lien”) together with Solar Capital (“Second Lien”) entered into a loan agreement (“Sun Trust Credit Agreement”) to provide the Company with up to $162 million in financing, of which $137 million was structured in a term loan (First Lien $110 million and Second Lien $27 million, together, the “Term Loan”) and $25 million was in the form of a revolving loan (the “Revolving Loan”). The proceeds of the $137 million from the Sun Trust Financing Agreement were utilized for (i) the repayment of the Highbridge loan prior outstanding indebtedness, (ii) general corporate purposes, and (iii) the payment of the fees associated with this transaction.

 

In November of 2014, the Company and Sun Trust Bank together with Solar Capital, signed an amendment to the Sun Trust Credit Agreement (“First Amendment to the Sun Trust Credit Agreement”) to increase the amount and extend the maturity of the credit facility. The First Amendment to the Sun Trust Credit Agreement provided the Company with up to $182 million in financing, of which $157 million was structured in a term loan (the “Amended Term Loan”) and $25 million was in the form of a revolving loan (the “Amended Revolving Loan”).

 

The proceeds of the $20 million from the First Amendment to the Sun Trust Credit Agreement were utilized for the acquisition of the GIS Group and to partially repay the Sun Trust Amended Revolving Loan.

 

Refinanced First and Second Lien Bank Credit Facilities

 

On July 1, 2015, the Company refinanced its debt with Solar Capital and Sun Trust that totaled $27 million and $155 million, respectively. As a result of the refinancing, the Company wrote off $4 million of deferred financing fees and paid $0.3 million as a penalty.

 

Simultaneously, the Company entered into the First and Second Lien Credit Facilities (“the Refinanced Credit Agreement”) to provide the Company with up to $395 million in financing of which $360 million was structured in a term loan consisting of (First Lien $268 million and Second Lien $92 million, together the “Refinanced Term Loan”) and $35 million was in the form of a revolving loan (“the Refinanced Revolving Loan”).

16.       Income Taxes

 

The Company recorded an income tax provision of $5.0 million and $0.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively. The Company had a net deferred tax liability at June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015 of $45.7 million and $49.3 million, respectively.

 

The income tax benefit differs from the amount computed by applying the statutory federal and state income tax rates to the loss before income before income taxes. As of June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, the Company had a federal and state net operating loss carryforward (“NOL”) of approximately $1.9 million. This loss will be available to offset future taxable income. If not used, the Federal NOL carryforward will begin to expire in 2017. The state NOL had a full valuation allowance. The deferred tax asset relating to the operating loss carryforward was fully reserved at June 30, 2016.

As of June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, EMC Deutschland had gross NOLs of approximately $1.9 million for income tax purposes and $1.2 million for trade tax purposes. The foreign jurisdiction NOLs expire at various dates beginning in 2016 through 2025.

 

The Company currently has no federal or state tax examinations in progress, nor has it had any federal or state examinations since its inception. All of the Company’s tax years remain subject to foreign and U.S. federal and state tax examinations.

 

Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes

 

The Company adopted FASB ASC 740-10 Income Taxes (“ASC 740-10”), which is intended to substantially reduce tax benefits (e.g., deductions, credits) from uncertainty in accounting for income tax positions. It prescribes under a two-step approach (i.e., recognition under the more-likely-than-not threshold and measurement

 

18



 

under the cumulative probability) attribute for a tax position taken or expected to be taken in the tax return. ASC 740-10 also provides guidance on de-recognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure and transition.

 

As of June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, in accordance with ASC 740-10, the Company recorded a FIN 48 liability of $3.0 million for uncertain taxable positions in foreign jurisdictions. The Company believes that these income tax positions would not be sustained upon examination and accordingly has adjusted its books to reflect the liability. All other U.S. federal, state and foreign positions have been evaluated under ASC 740-10 and no uncertain tax positions have been identified. The Company does not anticipate any other adjustments that would result in a material change to its financial position or results of operations.

Any liabilities are reviewed periodically and adjusted to reflect the impact of negotiations, settlements, rulings, advice of legal counsel, and other information and events pertaining to a particular case. Although litigation is inherently unpredictable and it is possible that cash flows or results of operations could be materially and adversely affected in any particular period by the unfavorable resolution or disposition of one or more of these contingencies.

 

The Company is, and from time to time may be, a party to routine legal proceedings incidental to the operation of its business. The outcome of any pending or threatened proceedings is not expected to have a material adverse effect on the financial condition, operating results or cash flows of the Company. Legal expenses related to these contingencies are expensed as incurred.
