Independent Auditor’s Report

Board of Directors

Bitesquad.com, LLC and Subsidiaries

Report on the Financial Statements

We have audited the accompanying consolidated financial statements of Bitesquad.com, LLC and Subsidiaries (together, the Company), which comprise the consolidated balance sheets as of December 31, 2017 and 2016, the related consolidated statements of operations, changes in members’ equity, and cash flows for the years then ended, and the related notes to the consolidated financial statements (collectively, the financial statements).

Management’s Responsibility for the Financial Statements

Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these financial statements in accordance 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 presentation 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 audits. We conducted our audits 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 assessment 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 appropriateness 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 Bitesquad.com, LLC and Subsidiaries as of December 31, 2017 and 2016, 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.

Other Matter

Our audits were conducted for the purpose of forming an opinion on the financial statements as a whole. The accompanying supplementary information is presented for purposes of additional analysis and is not a required part of the financial statements. Such information is the responsibility of management and was derived from and relates directly to the underlying accounting and other records used to prepare the financial statements. The information has been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audits of the financial statements and certain additional procedures, including comparing and reconciling such information directly to the underlying accounting and other records used to prepare the financial statements, or to the financial statements themselves, and other additional procedures in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. In our opinion, the information is fairly stated in all material respects in relation to the financial statements as a whole.

BITESQUAD.COM, LLC AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

 

Note 1 – Nature of Business and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Nature of Operations. Bitesquad.com, LLC (“Bite Squad”) is an on-demand restaurant delivery service that connects diners and restaurants via Bite Squad’s website and mobile application. Diners enter their delivery address and Bite Squad displays the menus of nearby restaurant partners. Orders are placed by diners online at www.bitesquad.com or through the Bite Squad mobile application. Bite Squad charges restaurant partners a per order commission for generating the order and may also charge a delivery fee or certain other fees directly to the diner. Bite Squad is headquartered in Minneapolis, Minnesota, and was formed on April 25, 2012 as a limited liability company in the state of Minnesota. Bite Squad was formed to have a perpetual life and the members have limited liability for the obligations of the LLC.

Principles of Consolidation. The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Bite Squad and all its wholly-owned subsidiaries (collectively, the “Company”), and were prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) and in accordance with the rules and regulations of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated. Bite Squad consolidates variable interest entities (“VIEs”) where it has been determined that Bite Squad is the primary beneficiary of those entities’ operations.

Effective January 5, 2017, Bite Squad’s Board of Governors exercised its option to acquire 100% ownership of KASA Delivery, LLC (“KASA”). KASA provides order fulfillment, executive management, finance, information technology, accounting, back office, regulatory and other services to Bite Squad. Bite Squad finances the operations of KASA. KASA was formed on May 15, 2012 as a limited liability company in the state of Minnesota. KASA was formed to have a perpetual life and the sole member has limited liability for the obligations of the LLC. In prior years, Bite Squad consolidated KASA as a VIE because Bite Squad was the primary beneficiary of KASA’s operations.

KASA rents office space and parking from KSM Real Estate, LLC, an entity related through common ownership. KASA’s personal property was provided as collateral in KSM Real Estate’s loan, and KASA agreed to an unconditional guarantee of the loan. Because KASA is the primary source of rental income for KSM Real Estate, LLC, and has guaranteed payments of the loan, KASA has a variable interest in KSM Real Estate, LLC. KASA is the primary beneficiary in KSM Real Estate, LLC due to common ownership. KSM Real Estate, LLC is a VIE and is consolidated with Bite Squad in the accompanying consolidated financial statements. See Note 6 for further disclosures regarding KSM Real Estate, LLC.

Use of Estimates. The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP 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 consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Acquisitions. The Company accounts for business acquisitions under the acquisition method of accounting. The total cost of business acquisitions is determined based on the fair value of the consideration transferred to the seller to acquire control, while the cost allocated to the underlying net assets acquired is based on their respective estimated fair values. The excess of the consideration transferred over the estimated fair values of the net assets acquired is recorded as goodwill. The operating results of the acquisitions are included in the accompanying statements of operations from the date of acquisition forward.

Cash. The Company maintains its cash in bank deposit accounts which, at times, may exceed federally insured limits. The Company has not experienced any losses in such accounts.

Settlements due from Credit Card Processor. Settlements due from credit card processor relate to customer credit card sale transactions that have occurred but have not yet been funded to the Company by the credit card processor as of year-end. The Company determined that no allowance for doubtful accounts is necessary as of December 31, 2017 and 2016, based on review of outstanding settlements due and historical experience. The Company incurs expenses for uncollected credit card settlements (“chargebacks”), when a diner’s card is authorized and processed but later is reversed when a card-holder disputes the transaction directly with their credit card provider. Chargebacks are included in general and administrative expenses and were $679,423 and $129,194 in 2017 and 2016, respectively.

Accounts Receivable. The Company extends unsecured credit to corporate diners that the Company establishes on an individual basis. Receivables are considered past due if any portion of the receivable balance is outstanding beyond agreed upon terms. Accounts receivable are written off when deemed uncollectible. The Company determined that no allowance for doubtful accounts is necessary as of December 31, 2017 and 2016, based on review of outstanding accounts and historical experience. The Company does not accrue interest on accounts receivable.

Inventory. The Company acquires uniforms, tablets, hot bags, and other delivery and advertising supplies which are capitalized and recorded as inventory and expensed as utilized. The Company’s inventory is accounted for under the weighted-average cost method. The cost of our inventory includes the amount we pay our suppliers to acquire inventory and freight costs incurred in connection with delivery of product to our warehouse or offices.

 

6


Property and equipment. Property and equipment is primarily comprised of the office building and parking associated with KSM Real Estate LLC. The property is depreciated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful life of 39 years. Repair and maintenance costs are expensed as incurred.

Goodwill. Goodwill represents the excess of the cost of an acquired business over the fair value of the assets acquired at the date of acquisition. The Company performs impairment testing for goodwill annually in the fourth quarter, or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that the asset might be impaired. As allowed, the Company makes an initial qualitative evaluation, based on the Company’s events and circumstances, to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount. The results of this qualitative evaluation determine whether it is necessary to perform the two-step impairment test. The Company has one reporting unit and performed the qualitative evaluation and determined it was not necessary to perform the two-step impairment test. There was no impairment expense recognized in the Company’s consolidated financial statements in 2017 or 2016.

Advertising. Advertising costs are charged to expense when incurred. Advertising expense was $5,778,710 and $2,371,210 for the years ended 2017 and 2016, respectively.

Revenue Recognition. The Company generates revenues when diners place orders on the website or mobile applications. Restaurants pay a percentage commission on the food price of the orders processed via the Bite Squad platform for delivery or pick-up as well as a credit card processing fee, and a restaurant may also choose to contribute to the diner’s delivery fee. The Company also charges certain fees directly to the diner and may charge for beverages or utensils on catering orders. Revenues from diner orders are recognized when orders are delivered.

The Company processes and collects the entire amount (“gross food sales”) of the diner’s transaction on the platform, which includes food, beverages, catering supplies, delivery and other fees, sales tax, and gratuities.

Revenues are reported net of any diner promotions, refunds to diners, the balance due to the restaurant, gratuities due to employees, and sales tax. Costs incurred to process transactions and provide delivery services are included in operations and support expenses in the consolidated statements of operations.

The Company sells gift cards on the platform and recognizes revenue upon gift card redemption. Gift cards that have not been utilized are recorded on the consolidated balance sheet in other accruals.

Restaurant Food Liability. Bite Squad records an amount representing the restaurant food liability for the net balance due to the restaurant after deducting the commissions and other fees charged to the restaurant. Bite Squad pays restaurants twice a month.

Income Taxes. Bite Squad and KASA are treated as limited liability companies (LLCs) for federal and state income tax purposes. As such, the income, losses, and credits are included in the income tax returns of its members. In 2017, KASA Delivery Corporation was formed as a corporation in Minnesota and is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Bite Squad. KASA Delivery Corporation is treated as a taxable entity. KASA Delivery Corporation provides services to Bite Squad under a management services agreement. The taxable income generated in 2017 resulted in current income tax expense and liability of $7,297, with no deferred tax impact.

The Company is not currently under examination in any taxing jurisdiction. In the event of any future tax assessments, the Company has elected to record the income taxes and related interest and penalties as income tax expense in the Company’s consolidated statement of operations.

Fair Value Measurements. Accounting standards define fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. The standards also establish a fair value hierarchy, which requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. Fair value measurements are reported in one of three levels based on the lowest level of significant input used: Level 1 (unadjusted quoted prices in active markets); Level 2 (observable market inputs, other than quoted prices included in Level 1); and Level 3 (unobservable inputs that cannot be corroborated by observable market data).

Stock-based Compensation. The Company measures compensation expense for incentive units in accordance with ASC Topic 718, Compensation — Stock Compensation. Stock-based compensation is measured at fair value on grant date and recognized as compensation expense over the service period on a straight-line basis for awards expected to vest.

Bite Squad uses a backsolve option-pricing model to determine the fair value of stock options. Bite Squad’s Black Scholes pricing method utilized the following complex and subjective assumptions:

Risk-free rate: Risk-free interest rates are derived from U.S. Treasury securities with a period consistent with the estimated time to a liquidation event.

Volatility: Volatility of Bite Squad’s unit price is estimated based on a combination of published historical volatilities of comparable publicly traded companies, with an upward adjustment to account for the smaller size of Bite Squad and significantly higher growth rates of Bite Squad (both historically and expected).

Expected term: The expected term calculation was estimated based on the estimated time until a liquidation event.

Forfeiture rate: Effective January 1, 2018, Bite Squad elected to recognize actual forfeitures of unit-based awards as they occur in accordance with Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2016-09, Compensation Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting. Refer to Recently Accounting Pronouncements for additional information. Prior to 2018, there were no forfeitures to account for.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements.

In January 2017, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued ASU No. 2017-04, Intangibles – Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment. The guidance removes Step 2 of the goodwill impairment test, which requires a hypothetical purchase price allocation. A goodwill impairment will now be the amount by which a reporting unit’s carrying value exceeds its fair value, not to exceed the carrying amount of goodwill. Entities will continue to have the option to perform a qualitative assessment to determine if a quantitative impairment test is necessary. The new standard is effective for the Company in fiscal year 2022, and early adoption is permitted. The Company is evaluating the effect of the new standard on the consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

In August 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-15, Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments. ASU No. 2016-15 adds or clarifies guidance on the classification of certain cash receipts and payments in the statement of cash flows with the intent of reducing diversity in practice related to eight types of cash flows including contingent consideration payments made after a business combination. The new standard is effective for the Company in fiscal year 2019. The Company is evaluating the effect of the new standard on the consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-09, Compensation – Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting. The ASU is intended to simplify various aspects of accounting for share-based compensation arrangements. The ASU allows an entity-wide accounting policy election to either estimate the number of awards that are expected to vest or account for forfeitures as they occur. The new standard is effective for the Company in fiscal year 2018. The Company is evaluating the effect of the new standard on the consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, Leases. The new standard requires lessees to record assets and liabilities on the balance sheet for all leases with terms longer than 12 months. The new standard is effective for the Company in fiscal year 2020. Upon adoption, the lessee will apply the new standard retrospectively to all periods or retrospectively using a cumulative effect adjustment in the year of adoption. The Company is evaluating the effect that ASU No. 2016-02 will have on the consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. ASU No. 2014-09 establishes principles for recognizing revenue upon the transfer of promised goods or services to customers, in an amount that reflects the expected consideration received in exchange for those goods or services.    The new standard is effective for the Company in fiscal year 2019 and permits the use of either a retrospective or a cumulative effect transition method. The Company is evaluating the effect of the new standard on the consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

Note 2 – Acquisitions

In 2017, the Company acquired certain assets of the companies in the table below. Consideration for the acquisitions included 377,444 Non-Voting Common Units, valued using an option pricing model based on the terms of the Company’s issuance of Preferred Units in 2017. The goodwill recorded represents the opportunity to expand restaurant delivery services and enhance the breadth and depth of the Company’s restaurant networks. The Company expects $10,800,018 of goodwill added in 2017 to be tax deductible; however, the tax treatment is ultimately dependent on members’ individual tax returns. The Company incurred $114,607 of transaction expenses recorded in the Company’s consolidated statement of operations.

Note 7 – Members’ Equity

2017 disclosures

On January 6, 2017, Bite Squad recapitalized the outstanding equity interests and amended its operating agreement. Existing membership units were initially exchanged for new classes of units. The amended operating agreement established four classes of membership units: Voting Common Units, Non-Voting Common Units, Preferred Units, and Incentive Units. All units are generally restricted in their transferability.

Voting Common Units. Holders of Voting Common Units have one vote per unit, except for the two founders’ Voting Common Units, each of which is entitled 10 votes per unit.

The 2,000,000 Founding Common Units outstanding as of December 31, 2016 were exchanged for 399,858 Preferred Units and 1,600,142 Voting Common Units.    There were 1,998,570 authorized and issued Voting Common Units as of December 31, 2017.

Non-Voting Common Units. Holders of Non-Voting Common Units have no voting rights. The 1,182,554 Non-Voting Common Units outstanding as of December 31, 2016 were exchanged for the same amount of Non-Voting Common Units under the amended operating agreement.

In 2017 and 2016, respectively, the Company issued 377,444 and 1,182,554 Non-Voting Common Units as acquisition consideration (Note 2), and all these units are outstanding as of December 31, 2017. In 2017, the Company redeemed 10,000 Non-Voting Common Units for $150,000. There were 1,549,998 outstanding Non-Voting Common Units as of December 31, 2017.

Preferred Units. Holders of Preferred Units have one vote on an as-converted basis (the number of Common Units into which Preferred Units could be converted). All Preferred Units will automatically be converted into Common Units upon a public offering or in the event the Company is taxed as a corporation for U.S. federal tax purposes. Investor members, as defined in the operating agreement, may redeem their units for cash at any time on or after the six-year anniversary of the amended operating agreement.

The 687,956 Convertible Preferred Units outstanding as of December 31, 2016 were exchanged for 289,528 Preferred Units and 398,428 Voting Common Units. After the recapitalization, holders of the Preferred Units sold 325,384 Preferred Units for $8,938,799 and the Company sold 766,650 Preferred Units for $21,061,201. Transaction expenses of $500,000 were recorded as a reduction of the proceeds, and the Company received the remaining $20,561,201 of net proceeds. As of December 31, 2017, 1,456,036 Preferred Units were outstanding.

Incentive Units. The Incentive Units consist of Series B Incentive Units and Special Incentive Units. The 182,924 Common Profit Interest Units outstanding as of December 31, 2016 were exchanged for the same amount of Series B Incentive Units, and this amount remains outstanding as of December 31, 2017. The Company recognized compensation cost of $2,611,736 in 2017 based on each unit agreement’s required service period and performance condition. As of December 31, 2017, there was $331,142 of total unrecognized compensation expense, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 0.8 years.

The Company authorized and issued 441,309 Special Incentive Units to the founders of Bite Squad. At their discretion, the founders can issue the units to members of management. The founders issued 189,452 Special Incentive Units as of December 31, 2017. Incentive Units have no voting rights, except for the two founders’ Special Incentive Units, each of which is entitled 10 votes per unit.

The Company recognized compensation cost of $385,192 in 2016 based on each unit agreement’s required service period and performance condition.

Note 8 – Fair Value Measurements

The Company’s contingent consideration (Level 3) is measured at fair value on a recurring basis and represents the estimated value (using a probability-weighted approach) of future payments to be made to previous owners of an acquired business (see Note 2).

The Company has estimated a contingent consideration liability related to the Takeout Taxi acquisition, due to the previous owners of the acquired business if certain defined targets are achieved in a liquidity event. The maximum contingent consideration payment is $700,000. The changes in the Company’s contingent consideration liability were as follows:

On July 31, 2018, the Company closed the sale of substantially all assets of certain catering-only markets that were originally purchased from Make the Delivery, LLC (d/b/a Zipdish.com). The Company sold the assets for total consideration of $1,362,000, with $500,000 to be paid in cash and the remainder through a promissory note. The assets were sold to a shareholder in the affiliates of Make the Delivery, LLC, and the Company is required to provide transition services for 90 days after closing.

On September 19, 2018, the Company issued convertible promissory notes up to $10 million, with $5.9 million loaned on September 19, 2018 and $1.6 million loaned in November 2018. The terms of the notes do not require payment unless and until a liquidation event occurs. The conversion and payment terms depend on whether the proceeds of a liquidation event are sufficient to cover the preferred unit holders’ liquidation preference, and also depends on the timing of the liquidation event.

On December 11, 2018, the Company entered into a merger agreement (the “Merger Agreement”) with Waitr Holdings Inc. (“Waitr”) and Wingtip Merger Sub, Inc. (“Merger Sub”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Waitr Holdings Inc. On completion of the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement (the “Merger”) on January 17, 2019, Merger Sub merged with and into the Company, with the Company surviving as a wholly-owned, indirect subsidiary of Waitr. The aggregate consideration for the Merger consisted of (1) $192.9 million cash, and (2) 10.6 million shares of Waitr’s common stock, subject to final closing balance sheet adjustments.
