CAUTIONARY STATEMENT REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS AND INDUSTRY DATA

 

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains statements that constitute “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), and the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Words such as “believe,” “estimate,” “expect,” “intend,” “anticipate,” “plan,” “project,” and similar expressions and variations thereof, including the negative of these terms, identify such forward-looking statements which speak only as of the dates on which they were made. The forward-looking statements are based on a series of expectations, assumptions, estimates and projections about our company, are not guarantees of future results or performance and involve substantial risks and uncertainty. We may not actually achieve the plans, intentions or expectations disclosed in these forward-looking statements. Actual results or events could differ materially from the plans, intentions and expectations disclosed in these forward-looking statements. Our business and our forward-looking statements involve substantial known and unknown risks and uncertainties, including, but not limited to, changes in economic and market conditions, lack of acceptance of our products, maintenance of strategic alliances, and other factors discussed in our filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”).

 

All of our forward-looking statements are as of the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q only. In each case, actual results may differ materially from such forward-looking information. We can give no assurance that such expectations or forward-looking statements will prove to be correct. An occurrence of, or any material adverse change in, one or more of the risk factors or risks and uncertainties referred to in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q or included in our other public disclosures or our other periodic reports or other documents or filings filed with or furnished to the SEC could materially and adversely affect our business, prospects, financial condition and results of operations. Except as required by law, we do not undertake or plan to update or revise any such forward-looking statements to reflect actual results, changes in plans, assumptions, estimates or projections or other circumstances affecting such forward-looking statements occurring after the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, even if such results, changes or circumstances make it clear that any forward-looking information will not be realized. Any public statements or disclosures by us following this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q that modify or impact any of the forward-looking statements contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q will be deemed to modify or supersede such statements in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

 

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q may include market data and certain industry data and forecasts, which we may obtain from internal company surveys, market research, consultant surveys, publicly available information, reports of governmental agencies and industry publications, articles and surveys. Industry surveys, publications, consultant surveys and forecasts generally state that the information contained therein has been obtained from sources believed to be reliable, but the accuracy and completeness of such information is not guaranteed. While we believe that such studies and publications are reliable, we have not independently verified market and industry data from third-party sources.

 

INTRODUCTORY NOTE

 

ENDI Corp. (“ENDI”) was incorporated in Delaware on December 23, 2021. On August 11, 2022 (the “Closing Date”), the Company (as defined herein) completed its mergers (the “Mergers”) pursuant to that certain Agreement and Plan of Merger dated December 29, 2021 (as amended, the “Merger Agreement”) by and among ENDI, Enterprise Diversified, Inc. (“Enterprise Diversified”), Zelda Merger Sub 1, Inc., Zelda Merger Sub 2, LLC, CrossingBridge Advisors, LLC (“CrossingBridge” or “CBA”) and Cohanzick Management, LLC (“Cohanzick”). As a result of the Mergers, Enterprise Diversified and CrossingBridge merged with wholly owned subsidiaries of ENDI and now operate as wholly owned subsidiaries of the Company. The Company is the successor registrant to Enterprise Diversified’s SEC registration effective as of the Closing Date of the Mergers.

 

The reporting periods covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the three- and six-month periods ended June 30, 2023 reflects the standalone business of CrossingBridge prior to the Closing Date of the Mergers and the three- and six-month periods ended June 30, 2022, and reflects the consolidated business of the Company, including CrossingBridge and Enterprise Diversified for the six-month period ended June 30, 2023 and as of December 31, 2022.

 

On the Closing Date, Enterprise Diversified and CrossingBridge became wholly owned subsidiaries of ENDI as a result of the Mergers (collectively with the other transactions described in the Merger Agreement, the “Business Combination”). The Business Combination is accounted for as a reverse acquisition using the acquisition method of accounting in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification 805, Business Combinations, with CrossingBridge representing the accounting acquiror. Following Financial Accounting Standards Board guidance related to the accounting for reverse acquisitions, CrossingBridge’s historical carve-out financial statements replaced the Company’s (as the successor registrant to Enterprise Diversified) historical financial statements. Accordingly, the capital structure, and per share amounts presented in CrossingBridge’s historical carve-out financial statements for the periods prior to the Closing Date have been recast to reflect the capital activity in accordance with the Merger Agreement. CrossingBridge’s historical carve-out financial statements for the three- and six-month periods ended June 30, 2022, reflecting the recasting, are included as part of the condensed consolidated financial statements presented in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

 

The CrossingBridge carve-out for activity prior to the Closing Date, including the three- and six-month periods ended June 30, 2022, is part of the Cohanzick financial statements. Prior to the consummation of the Mergers, CBA was a 100%, wholly owned subsidiary of Cohanzick. The historical financial carve-out statements of CBA reflect the assets, liabilities, revenue, and expenses directly attributable to CBA, as well as allocations deemed reasonable by management, to present the financial position, statements of operations, statements of changes in stockholders’ equity, and statements of cash flows of CBA on a stand-alone basis and do not necessarily reflect the financial position, statements of operations, statements of changes in stockholders’ equity, and statements of cash flows of CBA in the future or what they would have been had CBA been a separate, stand-alone entity during the periods presented that include activity prior to the Closing Date.

 

Unless the context otherwise requires, and when used in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, the “Company,” “ENDI,” “ENDI Corp.,” “we,” “our,” or “us” refers to ENDI Corp. individually, or as the context requires, collectively with its subsidiaries as of and after the Closing Date, and to CrossingBridge for the periods up to the Closing Date, due to the determination that CrossingBridge represents the accounting acquiror.

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

NOTE 1. ORGANIZATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

Organization and Lines of Business

 

ENDI Corp. (“ENDI”) was incorporated in Delaware on December 23, 2021. On August 11, 2022 (the “Closing Date”), the Company (as defined herein) completed its mergers (the “Mergers”) pursuant to that certain Agreement and Plan of Merger dated December 29, 2021 (as amended, the “Merger Agreement”) by and among ENDI, Enterprise Diversified, Inc. (“Enterprise Diversified”), Zelda Merger Sub 1, Inc., Zelda Merger Sub 2, LLC, CrossingBridge Advisors, LLC (“CrossingBridge” or “CBA”) and Cohanzick Management, LLC (“Cohanzick”). As a result of the Mergers, Enterprise Diversified and CrossingBridge merged with wholly owned subsidiaries of ENDI and now operate as wholly owned subsidiaries of the Company. The Company is the successor registrant to Enterprise Diversified’s Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) registration effective as of the Closing Date of the Mergers.

 

The reporting period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the period ended June 30, 2023 reflects the standalone business of CrossingBridge prior to the Closing Date of the Mergers including the three- and six-month periods ended June 30, 2022, and reflects the consolidated business of the Company, including CrossingBridge and Enterprise Diversified for the period ended June 30, 2023 and as of December 31, 2022.

 

On the Closing Date, Enterprise Diversified and CrossingBridge became wholly owned subsidiaries of ENDI as a result of the Mergers (collectively with the other transactions described in the Merger Agreement, the “Business Combination”). The Business Combination is accounted for as a reverse acquisition using the acquisition method of accounting in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification 805, Business Combinations, with CrossingBridge representing the accounting acquiror.

 

Prior to the Closing Date, including during the period ended June 30, 2022, the Company operated through a single reportable segment, CrossingBridge operations. Beginning on the Closing Date through the year ended December 31, 2022, the post-Merger period, and continuing through the current period ended June 30, 2023, the Company operated through four reportable segments: CrossingBridge operations, Willow Oak operations, internet operations, and other operations. The management of the Company also continually reviews various business opportunities for the Company, including those in other lines of business.

 

Unless the context otherwise requires, and when used herein, the “Company,” “ENDI,” “ENDI Corp.,” “we,” “our,” or “us” refers to ENDI Corp. individually, or as the context requires, collectively with its subsidiaries as of and after the Closing Date, and to CrossingBridge for the periods up to the Closing Date, due to the determination that CrossingBridge represents the accounting acquiror.

 

CrossingBridge Operations

 

CBA was formed as a limited liability company on December 23, 2016, under the laws of the State of Delaware. CBA derives its revenue and net income from investment advisory services. CBA is a registered investment adviser under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, as amended (the “Investment Advisers Act”), and it provides investment advisory services to investment companies (including mutual funds and exchange-traded funds (“ETFs”)) registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (“1940 Act”), both as an adviser and as a sub-adviser.

 

As of June 30, 2023, CBA serves as an adviser to its five proprietary products and sub-adviser to two additional products. As of June 30, 2023, the assets under management (“AUM”) for CBA, including advised and sub-advised funds, were in excess of $1.6 billion. The investment strategies for CBA include: ultra-short duration, low duration high yield, strategic income, responsible credit, and special purpose acquisition companies (“SPACs”). These strategies primarily employ investment grade and high yield corporate debt, as well as credit opportunities in event-driven securities, post reorganization investments, and stressed and distressed debt.

 

Willow Oak Operations

 

Beginning on August 12, 2022, the start of the post-Merger period (“Post-Merger”), the Company operates its Willow Oak operations business through its wholly owned subsidiaries, Willow Oak Asset Management, LLC (“Willow Oak”), Willow Oak Capital Management, LLC, Willow Oak Asset Management Affiliate Management Services, LLC (“Willow Oak AMS”) and Willow Oak Asset Management Fund Management Services, LLC (“Willow Oak FMS”).

Sitestar.net provides services to customers in the United States and Canada. In addition, the Company owns a portfolio of domain names.

 

Other Operations

 

Beginning Post-Merger, the Company operates its other operations segment which includes nonrecurring or one-time strategic funding or similar activity and other corporate operations that are not considered to be one of the Company’s primary lines of business. Below are the primary activities comprising other operations. Additional investment activity that is not specifically mentioned below is included in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements.

 

Enterprise Diversified, Inc.

 

On June 12, 2023, through Enterprise Diversified, Inc., the Company invested $172,512 in a commodity-based limited partnership managed by a third-party general partner. The general partner is entitled to certain management fees and profit allocations, and the Company’s investment is subject to a two-year lockup from the date of the initial investment. As of the period ended June 30, 2023, this investment is carried at its reported net asset value (“NAV”) of $194,874.

 

eBuild Ventures, LLC

 

Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, the Company was transferred interests of eBuild Ventures, LLC (“eBuild”) on the Closing Date. eBuild acquires, or provides growth equity to, consumer product businesses in the digital or brick and mortar marketplaces.

 

Through eBuild, the Company also operates SPACinformer.com (“SPACinformer”), an electronic newsletter service focusing primarily on the aggregation and distribution of publicly available SPAC data, news, and analytics. During the period ended June 30, 2023, SPACinformer did not contribute material revenue or expenses to eBuild under the other operations segment.

 

On September 8, 2022, through eBuild, the Company made a capital contribution of $450,000, representing approximately a 10% ownership stake, in a start-up phase private company that operates in the consumer beverage product space. This investment is carried at its cost basis of $450,000 as of June 30, 2023.

 

On March 16, 2023, through eBuild, the Company made a capital contribution of $955,266, representing approximately a 3% ownership stake, in a private company that operates in the consumer products e-commerce space fulfilled by Amazon. This investment is carried at its cost basis of $955,266 as of June 30, 2023.

 

Financing Arrangement Regarding Triad Guaranty, Inc.

 

In August 2017, Enterprise Diversified entered into an agreement with several independent third parties to provide debtor-in-possession financing to an unaffiliated third party, Triad Guaranty, Inc., through Triad DIP Investors, LLC. Triad Guaranty, Inc. exited bankruptcy in April 2018, and Enterprise Diversified was subsequently issued an amended and restated promissory note. As of December 31, 2022, Enterprise Diversified reported $50,000 of promissory note receivables, measured at fair value, from Triad DIP Investors, LLC, and 847,847 aggregate shares of Triad Guaranty, Inc. common stock. As of June 30, 2023, the Company attributed no value to its shares of Triad Guaranty, Inc. common stock held due to the stocks’ general lack of marketability. See Note 6 for more information.

 

On January 9, 2023, Enterprise Diversified was issued a second amended and restated promissory note by Triad DIP Investors, LLC. Amended terms to the promissory note include an increase in the interest rate from 12% to 18% per annum, with unpaid historical accrued interest and future monthly accrued and unpaid interest to be capitalized and added to the then-outstanding principal balance on the last business day of each month. Further, the maturity date of the note was extended from December 31, 2022 to April 30, 2023, with early payoff permitted. Also during the three-month period ended March 31, 2023, Triad notified the Company that it was able to secure a new financing resource that was not previously available. On April 27, 2023, the Company received repayment of the full historical principal balance and accrued interest related to the second amended and restated promissory note receivable, which was greater than the Company’s historical recorded carrying amount of $50,000 as of December 31, 2022. Given these developments, the Company recognized $334,400 of other income related to the realized gain on the note receivable, which is included on the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations for the six-month period ended June 30, 2023.

 

-9-
 

 

Corporate Operations

 

Corporate operations include any revenue or expenses derived from the Company’s corporate office operations, as well as expenses related to public company reporting, the oversight of subsidiaries, and other items that affect the overall Company. Also included under corporate operations is investment activity earned through the reinvestment of corporate cash. Corporate investments are typically short-term, highly liquid investments, including vehicles such as mutual funds, ETFs, commercial paper, and corporate and municipal bonds. During the year ended December 31, 2022, through Enterprise Diversified under the other operations segment, the Company invested a total of $4,500,000 among three CrossingBridge mutual funds: the CrossingBridge Responsible Credit Fund, the CrossingBridge Ultra Short Duration Fund, and the CrossingBridge Low Duration High Yield Fund. During the three-month period ended June 30, 2023, through Enterprise Diversified under the other operations segment, the Company invested $1,200,000 into CrossingBridge’s newly acquired RiverPark Strategic Income Fund. The Company also routinely invests in the CrossingBridge Pre-Merger SPAC ETF through its other operations segment as well, which as of June 30, 2023, totaled $325,546. There are no liquidity restrictions in connection with these investments and any intercompany revenue and expenses have been eliminated in consolidation.

 

Principles of Consolidation

 

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company, its wholly owned subsidiaries, and those entities in which it otherwise has a controlling financial interest as of and for the period ended June 30, 2023, including: CrossingBridge Advisors, LLC, and for the Post-Merger period beginning on August 12, 2022, Bonhoeffer Capital Management, LLC, eBuild Ventures, LLC, Enterprise Diversified, Inc., Sitestar.net, Inc., Willow Oak Asset Management, LLC, Willow Oak Asset Management Affiliate Management Services, LLC, Willow Oak Asset Management Fund Management Services, LLC, and Willow Oak Capital Management, LLC.

 

All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

 

NOTE 2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

Basis of Presentation

 

The accompanying interim condensed consolidated financial statements are unaudited. These unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the rules and regulations of the SEC for interim financial information. Accordingly, they do not include all the information and footnotes required by U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) for complete financial statements. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been omitted pursuant to instructions, rules, and regulations prescribed by the SEC. We believe that the disclosures provided herein are adequate to make the information presented not misleading when these unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements are read in conjunction with the audited carve-out financial statements and notes previously filed in our Registration Statement on Form S-4 initially filed with the SEC on February 3, 2022, as subsequently amended and declared effective by the SEC on July 14, 2022. In the opinion of management, the unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all the adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) necessary to state fairly the Company’s financial position as of June 30, 2023 and the results of operations for the three- and six-month periods ended June 30, 2023 and 2022.

 

Following Financial Accounting Standards Board guidance related to the accounting for reverse acquisitions, CrossingBridge’s historical carve-out financial statements replaced the Company’s (as the successor registrant to Enterprise Diversified) historical financial statements. Accordingly, the capital structure, and per share amounts presented in CrossingBridge’s historical carve-out financial statements for the periods prior to the Closing Date have been recast to reflect the capital activity in accordance with the Merger Agreement. CrossingBridge’s historical carve-out financial statements for the three- and six-month periods ended June 30, 2022, reflecting the recasting, are included as part of the unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements presented in the Company’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the period ended June 30, 2023.

 

The CrossingBridge Advisors, LLC carve-out for activity prior to the Closing Date, including the three- and six-month periods ended June 30, 2022, is part of the Cohanzick financial statements. Prior to the Closing Date of the Mergers, CBA was a wholly owned subsidiary of Cohanzick. The historical financial carve-out statements of CBA reflect the assets, liabilities, revenue, and expenses directly attributable to CBA, as well as allocations deemed reasonable by management, to present the financial position, statements of operations, statements of changes in stockholders’ equity, and statements of cash flows of CBA on a stand-alone basis and do not necessarily reflect the financial position, statements of operations, statements of changes in stockholders’ equity, and statements of cash flows of CBA in the future or what they would have been had CBA been a separate, stand-alone entity during the periods presented that include activity prior to the Closing Date.

 

-10-
 

 

Use of Estimates

 

In accordance with GAAP the preparation of these condensed consolidated financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amount of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.

 

On an ongoing basis, management evaluates its estimates and judgments, including, among other items, those related to fair value of investments, revenue recognition, accrued expenses, financing operations, fair value of goodwill, fixed asset lives and impairment, lease right-of-use assets and impairment, deferred tax assets, liabilities and valuation allowance, other assets, the present value of lease liabilities, and contingencies and litigation. Management bases its estimates and judgments on historical experience and on various other factors that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying value of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions and conditions. These accounting policies are described at relevant sections in the notes to the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.

 

Concentration of Credit Risk

 

Financial instruments, which potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk, consist of cash, cash equivalents, accounts receivable, and notes receivable. The Company places its cash with high-quality financial institutions and, at times, exceeds the FDIC and CDIC insurance limit. The Company extends credit based on an evaluation of customers’ financial condition, generally without collateral. Exposure to losses on receivables is principally dependent on each customer’s financial condition. The Company monitors its exposure for credit losses and maintains allowances for anticipated losses.

 

Cash and Cash Equivalents

 

For purposes of the statements of cash flows, the Company defines cash equivalents as all highly liquid instruments purchased with a maturity and/or liquidation option of three months or less.

 

Investments

 

The Company holds various investments through its other operations segment. Investments are typically short-term, highly liquid investments, including vehicles such as: mutual funds, ETFs, commercial paper, and corporate and municipal bonds. Occasionally, the Company also invests in comparably less liquid, opportunistic investments. Investments held at fair value are remeasured to fair value on a recurring basis. Certain assets held through the other operations segment do not have a readily determinable value as these investments are either not publicly traded, do not have published sales records, or do not routinely make current financial information available. Assets that do not have a readily determinable value are remeasured when additional valuation inputs become observable. See Note 6 for more information.

 

Accounts Receivable

 

The Company’s CrossingBridge operations segment records receivable amounts for management fee shares earned on a monthly basis. Management fee shares are calculated and collected on a monthly basis. The Company historically has had no collection issues with management fee shares and the overall possibility for non-collection is extremely low. For these reasons, management has determined that it is not necessary to record an allowance against these receivables.

 

The Company’s Willow Oak operations segment records receivable amounts for management fee shares and fund management services revenue earned on a monthly basis. Management fee shares and fund management services fees are calculated and collected on either a monthly or quarterly basis as dictated by the respective partnership agreement. The Company historically has had no collection issues with management fee shares and fund management receivables and the overall possibility for non-collection is extremely low. For these reasons, management has determined that it is not necessary to record an allowance against these receivables.

 

The Company’s Willow Oak operations segment also records receivable amounts for performance fee shares earned on an annual basis. Performance fee shares are dependent upon exceeding specified relative or absolute investment return thresholds, which vary by affiliate relationship, and typically include annual measurement periods. The Company historically has had no collection issues with performance fee shares and the overall possibility for non-collection is extremely low. For these reasons, management has determined that it is not necessary to record an allowance against these receivables.

 

-11-
 

 

The Company grants credit in the form of unsecured accounts receivable to its customers through its internet operations segment. The estimate of the allowance for doubtful accounts, which is the recorded allowance for doubtful accounts and bad debt expense, is based on management’s assessment of current economic conditions and historical collection experience with each customer. Specific customer receivables are considered past due when they are outstanding beyond their contractual terms and are written off from the allowance for doubtful accounts when an account or invoice is individually determined to be uncollectible. The internet operations segment attempts to reduce the risk of non-collection by including a late-payment fee and a manual-processing-payment fee to customer accounts. Receivables more than 90 days past due are no longer included in accounts receivable and are turned over to a collection agency. Accounts receivable more than 30 days are considered past due.

 

As of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, allowances offsetting gross accounts receivable on the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets totaled $2,203 and $2,283, respectively. For the three- and six-month periods ended June 30, 2023, bad debt expenses (recoveries) totaled $(924) and $320, respectively. There were no comparable bad debt expenses for the three- and six-month periods ended June 30, 2022.

 

Notes Receivable

 

The Company does not routinely issue notes receivable in the ordinary course of business, but when a business opportunity arises, a subsidiary may issue a note if it appears to be favorable to the Company. Notes receivable are recorded at their principal amount and interest is accrued quarterly based on the applicable interest rate. The Company makes an assessment of the ultimate collectability of each note receivable on an annual basis based upon the financial condition of the borrower and adjusts the carrying value of the note receivable as deemed appropriate.

 

Property and Equipment

 

Property and equipment are recorded at cost. Expenditures for maintenance and repairs are charged to operations as incurred, while renewals and betterments are capitalized. Gains and losses on disposals are included in the results of operations. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method based on the estimated useful lives for each of the following asset classifications.

 

Furniture and fixtures (in years) 5
Equipment (in years) 7

 

The Company evaluates at each balance sheet date whether events and circumstances have occurred that indicate possible impairment. If there are indications of impairment, then the Company uses estimated future undiscounted cash flows of the related asset or asset grouping over the remaining life in measuring whether the assets are recoverable. In the event such cash flows are not expected to be sufficient to recover the recorded asset values, the assets are written down to their estimated fair value. Property and equipment to be disposed are reported at the lower of carrying amount or fair value of the asset less cost to sell.

 

Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets

 

Goodwill is the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of identifiable net assets acquired in business combinations accounted for under the acquisition method of accounting. The Company tests its goodwill annually as of December 31, or more often if events and circumstances indicate that those assets might not be recoverable. As of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the Company reported $737,869 of goodwill under the CrossingBridge operations segment. None of the Company’s recorded goodwill is tax deductible. The fair values assigned to tangible and intangible assets acquired as part of the Mergers are based on management’s estimates and assumptions. As of the period ended June 30, 2023, the Company considers the fair values of assets acquired and liabilities assumed to be final and no longer subject to potential adjustments.

 

Impairment testing of goodwill is required at the reporting-unit level (operating segment or one level below operating segment). The impairment test involves calculating the impairment of goodwill based solely on the excess of the carrying value of the reporting unit over the fair value of the reporting unit. Prior to performing the impairment test, the Company may make a qualitative assessment of the likelihood of goodwill impairment to determine whether a detailed quantitative analysis is required. The Company estimates the fair value of its reporting units using discounted expected future cash flows.

 

Intangible assets (other than goodwill) consist of customer relationships, trade names, investment management agreements, a non-compete, and domain names held amongst the CrossingBridge, Willow Oak and internet operations segments. When management determines that material intangible assets are acquired in conjunction with the purchase of a business or asset, the Company determines the fair values of the identifiable intangible assets by taking into account internal and external appraisals. Intangible assets determined to have definite lives are amortized over their estimated useful lives. The Company evaluates at each balance sheet date whether events and circumstances have occurred that indicate possible impairment. If there are indications of impairment, then the Company uses estimated future undiscounted cash flows of the related intangible asset or asset grouping over the remaining life in measuring whether the assets are recoverable. In the event such cash flows are not expected to be sufficient to recover the recorded asset values, the assets are written down to their estimated fair value. As of the periods ended June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the Company reported the following intangible assets, net of amortization and excluding goodwill, under the respective operating segment.

   June 30, 2023   December 31, 2022 
CrossingBridge  $2,278,558   $- 
Willow Oak   513,123    534,195 
Internet   669,373    689,731 
Intangible assets, net  $3,461,054   $1,223,926 

 

As of June 30, 2023, the Company owned 242 domain names.

 

As a result of the Company’s impairment testing of goodwill and other intangible assets on December 31, 2022, the Company determined that there was no impairment adjustment necessary.

 

Earn-Out Liability

 

The Company may enter into contingent payment arrangements in connection with the Company’s business combinations or asset purchases. In contingent payment arrangements, the Company agrees to pay transaction consideration to the seller based on future performance. The Company estimates the value of future payments of these potential future obligations at the time the business combination or asset purchase is consummated. The liabilities related to contingent payment arrangements are recorded under the earn-out liability line on the condensed consolidated balance sheets.

 

Contingent payment obligations related to asset purchases, if estimable and probable of payment, are initially recorded at their estimated value and reviewed for changes at every reporting. Any changes to the estimated value are recorded as an update of the initial acquisition cost of the asset with a corresponding change to the estimated contingent payment obligation on the condensed consolidated balance sheets. See Note 5 for more information on the Company’s asset acquisition of the RiverPark Strategic Income Fund.

Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, the Company issued 1,800,000 Class B common shares that are mandatorily redeemable upon exercise of the W-1 Warrant, which provides the holder the ability to purchase 1,800,000 Class A Common Shares at certain terms. Management has determined that the W-1 Warrant represents an embedded equity-linked feature within the Class B common shares, and therefore is valued in conjunction with the Class B common shares. The value of the W-1 Warrant and Class B common shares is determined using a Black-Scholes pricing model and is classified as a long-term liability on the condensed consolidated balance sheets. The value is remeasured at each reporting date with the change in value flowing through the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations for the relevant period under the “mark-to-market” line item. See Note 4 for additional terms of the W-1 Warrant and Class B common shares.

 

Accrued Compensation

 

Accrued compensation represents performance-based bonuses that have not yet been paid. Bonuses are subjective and are based on numerous factors including, but not limited to, individual performance, the underlying funds’ performance, and profitability of the firm, as well as the consideration of future outlook. Accrued bonus amounts can fluctuate due to a future perceived change in any one or more of these factors. Additionally, differences between historical, current, and future personnel allocations could significantly impact the comparability of bonus expenses period over period.

 

Other Accrued Expenses

 

Other accrued expenses represent incurred but not-yet-paid expenses from payroll accruals, professional fees, and other accrued taxes.

 

Stock Compensation Expense

 

The board of directors of the Company adopted the ENDI Corp. 2022 Omnibus Equity Incentive Plan, dated December 19, 2022 (the “2022 Plan”), which was subsequently approved by the Company’s stockholders at the 2023 annual meeting of stockholders held on May 22, 2023 (“2023 Annual Meeting”). On February 28, 2023 (the “Grant Date”), the Company granted (i) restricted stock units, and (ii) restricted Class A common stock. Vested restricted stock unit awards will be settled by the Company in the form of cash or the issuance and delivery of shares of Company common stock in the year following the year the awards have become vested, but no later than March 15 of the following year. The Company has elected to ratably recognize the stock compensation expense associated with its outstanding equity awards over each award’s respective vesting period. Equity awards are valued on their respective Grant Date at fair market value, the then current trading value of the Company’s Class A Common Stock, and are not subject to future revaluation. On the Grant Date, the closing stock price of the Company’s Class A Common Stock was $4.35.

Total outstanding awards   198,277      $39,700   $121,446 

 

Leases

 

The Company records right-of-use assets and lease liabilities arising from both financing and operating leases that contain terms extending longer than one year. The Company does not recognize right-of-use assets or lease liabilities for short-term leases (those with original terms of 12 months or less). In making its determinations, the Company combines lease and non-lease elements of its leases.

 

Concentration of Revenue

 

CBA is the adviser to five registered investment companies under the CrossingBridge Family of Funds. The advised funds are the CrossingBridge Low Duration High Yield Fund, CrossingBridge Ultra-Short Duration Fund, RiverPark Strategic Income Fund, CrossingBridge Responsible Credit Fund, and the CrossingBridge Pre-Merger SPAC ETF. The combined AUM for these advised funds was approximately $1.01 billion and $692 million as of June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively. CBA is also the sub-adviser to two 1940 Act registered mutual funds with AUM totaling approximately $615 million and $796 million as of June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively. Finally, CBA also earns revenue through a service agreement with a related party. See Note 3 for more information on the terms of the services agreement.

 

CBA fee revenues earned from advised funds, sub-advised funds, and services agreement for the three- and six-month periods ended June 30, 2023 and 2022 included in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations are detailed below.

 

   Three-Month
Period Ended June 30,
   Six-Month
Period Ended June 30,
 
CrossingBridge Operations Revenue  2023   2022   2023   2022 
                 
Advised fund fee revenue  $1,376,227   $1,159,926   $2,401,691   $2,159,184 
Sub-advised fund fee revenue   536,504    602,431    1,084,430    1,310,297 
Service fee revenue   129,747    -    283,611    - 
Total fee revenue  $2,042,478   $1,762,357   $3,769,732   $3,469,481 

 

If CBA were to lose a significant amount of AUM, the Company’s revenue would also decrease.

 

Revenue Recognition

 

CrossingBridge Operations Revenue

 

Management fee shares earned through the CrossingBridge operations segment are recorded on a monthly basis and are included in revenue on the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations. The Company has performed an assessment of its revenue contracts under the CrossingBridge operations segment and has not identified any contract assets or liabilities.

 

Willow Oak Operations Revenue

 

Management fee shares and fund management services fees earned through the Willow Oak operations segment are recorded on a monthly basis and are included in revenue on the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations. Performance fee shares are dependent upon exceeding specified relative or absolute investment return thresholds, which vary by affiliate relationship, and typically include annual measurement periods. Performance fee shares are recognized only when it is determined that there is no longer potential for significant reversal, such as when a fund’s performance exceeds a contractual threshold at the end of a specified measurement period. Consequently, a portion of the performance fee shares recognized may be partially or wholly related to services performed in prior periods.

 

-14-
 

 

Fund management services revenue earned through the Willow Oak operations segment is also generally recorded on a monthly basis, which is in line with the timing of when services are provided. Occasionally, fund management services revenue is earned through bespoke consulting contracts performed over the course of multiple periods. In this instance, Willow Oak will only record and collect revenue for services received through the end of each monthly or quarterly period, as appropriate.

 

The Company has performed an assessment of its revenue contracts under the Willow Oak operations segment and has not identified any contract assets or liabilities.

 

A summary of revenue earned through Willow Oak operations during the three- and six-month periods ended June 30, 2023 and included on the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations is detailed below:

 

                 
   Three-Month
Period Ended June 30,
   Six-Month
Period Ended June 30,
 
Willow Oak Operations Revenue  2023   2022   2023   2022 
                 
Management fee revenue  $15,535   $-   $30,703   $- 
Fund management services revenue   56,705    -    66,050    - 
Total revenue  $72,240   $-   $96,753   $- 

 

Internet Operations Revenue

 

The Company generates revenue through its internet operations segment from consumer and business-grade internet access, e-mail hosting and storage, wholesale managed modem services, e-mail and web hosting, third-party software as a reseller, and various ancillary services in the United States and Canada. Services include narrow-band (dial-up and ISDN) and broadband services (DSL, fiber-optic, and wireless), web hosting, and additional related services to consumers and businesses. Customers may also subscribe to web hosting plans to include email access and storage. Customer contracts through the internet operations segment can be structured as monthly or annual contracts. Under annual contracts, the subscriber pays a one-time annual fee, which is recognized as revenue ratably over the life of the contract. Under monthly contracts, the subscriber is billed monthly and revenue is recognized for the period to which the service relates. Domain name registration revenue is recognized at the point of registration. Sales of hardware are recognized as revenue upon delivery and acceptance of the product by the customer. Sales are adjusted for any returns or allowances. Management has concluded that the nature of the performance obligation is cyclical with a very low possibility for nonperformance. Contract liabilities (deferred revenue) are recognized in the amount of collections received in advance of services to be performed. No contract assets are recognized or incurred.

 

Deferred Revenue

 

Deferred revenue represents collections from customers in advance of internet services to be performed. Revenue is recognized in the period service is provided. Total deferred revenue recorded under the internet operations segment as of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022 was $167,500 and $156,859, respectively. During the three- and six-month periods ended June 30, 2023, $31,344 and $102,088 of revenue was recognized from prior-year contract liabilities (deferred revenue), respectively. The internet operations segment did not have comparable activity for the three- and six-month periods ended June 30, 2022.

 

Income Taxes

 

Income taxes for ENDI Corp. are accounted for under the asset and liability method, which requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax benefits or consequences of events that have been included in the condensed consolidated financial statements. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined on the basis of the differences between the financial statement and tax basis of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to reverse. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance when, in the opinion of management, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are adjusted for the effects of changes in tax laws and rates on the date of enactment, inclusive of the recent tax reform act. ENDI Corp. filed its first tax return for the year ended December 31, 2021, which is open to potential examination by the Internal Revenue Service for three years.

 

-15-
 

 

As of June 30, 2023, the Company reported $1,334,532 of net deferred tax assets on the condensed consolidated balance sheets. These net deferred tax assets consist primarily of historic net operating losses that were acquired by the Company as part of the Business Combination, as well as post-closing activity which includes certain deferred tax assets and liabilities that were not previously recognized when CrossingBridge was a nontaxable entity. In accordance with Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (“Section 382”), the Company has performed an analysis to determine if a change of control occurred as a result of the Business Combination and has determined that a change of control is more likely than not to have occurred on August 11, 2022. Under Section 382, net operating loss carryforwards that arose prior to the ownership change will have limited availability to offset taxable income arising in future periods following the ownership change. Section 382 imposes multiple separate and distinct limits on the utilization of pre-change of control net operating losses based on the fair market value of the Company immediately prior to the change of control, as well as certain activities that may or may not occur during the 60 months immediately following the change of control. While the majority of the Company’s historic net operating losses will be limited to an annual threshold, the majority of historic net operating losses also will not be subject to future expiration. As of the period ended June 30, 2023, the Company has not provided a valuation allowance against its net operating losses as the Company expects to be able to use its net operating losses in full to offset future taxable income generated by the Company.

 

In as much as CBA had a single member prior to the Closing Date, it had historically been treated as a disregarded entity for income tax purposes. Consequently, Federal and state income taxes have not been provided for periods prior to the Closing Date, including the six-month period ended June 30, 2022, as its single member was taxed directly on CBA’s earnings. CBA activity subsequent to the Closing Date was consolidated within ENDI Corp.’s tax return that will be filed for the year ended December 31, 2022 and was included in the income tax provision for the year ended December 31, 2022.

 

During the three- and six-month periods ended June 30, 2023, the Company reported $208,877 and $241,110 of income tax expenses, respectively. As noted above, due to CBA’s disregarded status for periods prior to the Closing Date, no comparable income tax expenses existed for the three- and six-month periods ended June 30, 2022.

 

Income (Loss) Per Share

 

Basic income (loss) per share is computed by dividing net income (loss) available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Included in the basic income (loss) per share for the three- and six-month periods ended June 30, 2023, in addition to the number of shares of common stock outstanding, are 15,750 shares underlying common stock equity incentives awarded pursuant to the Company’s 2022 Plan which vested immediately in full upon approval by the Company’s stockholders of the 2022 Plan at the 2023 Annual Meeting. These shares represent equity awards in the form of restricted stock units.

 

In periods of net loss, diluted loss per share is calculated similarly to basic loss per share because the impact of all potentially dilutive common shares is anti-dilutive. In periods of net income, diluted earnings per share is computed using the more dilutive of the “two-class method” or the “treasury method.” Dilutive earnings per share under the “two-class method” is calculated by dividing net income available to common stockholders as adjusted for the participating securities, by the weighted-average number of shares outstanding plus the dilutive impact of all other potentially dilutive common shares, consisting primarily of common shares underlying the Class W-1 and W-2 Warrants issued pursuant to the Merger Agreement. Dilutive earnings per share under the “treasury method” is calculated by dividing net income available to common stockholders by the weighted-average number of shares outstanding plus the dilutive impact of all potentially dilutive common shares, consisting primarily of common shares underlying the Class W-1 and W-2 Warrants issued pursuant to the Merger Agreement.

 

The number of potentially dilutive shares for the period ended June 30, 2023, consisting of the Class W-1 and W-2 Warrants issued pursuant to the Merger Agreement, was 2,050,000. There were no potentially dilutive shares for the period ended June 30, 2022. None of the potentially dilutive securities had a dilutive impact during the three- and six-month periods ended June 30, 2023.

 

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

 

In June 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2016-13, “Financial Instruments - Credit Losses” (Topic 326). The guidance eliminates the probable initial recognition threshold that was previously required prior to recognizing a credit loss on financial instruments. The credit loss estimate should now reflect an entity’s current estimate of all future expected credit losses. Under the previous guidance, an entity only considered past events and current conditions. In April 2019, the FASB further clarified the scope of the credit losses standard and addressed issues related to accrued interest receivable balances, recoveries, variable interest rates, and prepayments. In May 2019, the FASB issued further guidance to provide entities with an option to irrevocably elect the fair value option applied on an instrument-by-instrument basis for eligible financial instruments. In November 2019, the FASB issued further guidance on expected recoveries for purchased financial assets with credit deterioration, and transition refiled for troubled debt restructurings, disclosures related to accrued interest receivables, and financial assets secured by collateral maintenance provisions. The guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The adoption of certain amendments of this guidance must be applied on a modified retrospective basis and the adoption of the remaining amendments must be applied on a prospective basis. The Company currently expects that the adoption of this guidance may change the way it assesses the collectability of its receivables and recoverability of other financial instruments. The Company adopted this guidance as of January 1, 2023. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.

 

-16-
 

 

In August 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-06, “Debt - Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging - Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40)”. This update simplifies the accounting for convertible debt and convertible preferred stock by removing the requirements to separately present certain conversion features in equity. In addition, the amendments in the ASU also simplify the guidance in ASC 815-40, Derivatives and Hedging: Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity, by removing certain criteria that must be satisfied in order to classify a contract as equity. Finally, the amendments revise the guidance on calculating earnings per share, requiring use of the if-converted method for all convertible instruments and rescinding an entity’s ability to rebut the presumption of share settlement for instruments that may be settled in cash or other assets. This new guidance is required to be adopted by public entities in years beginning after December 15, 2023, with early adoption permitted. The Company adopted this guidance as of January 1, 2022. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.

 

The Company does not believe that any other recently issued effective standards, or standards issued but not yet effective, if adopted, would have a material effect on the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements.

 

NOTE 3. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

 

CrossingBridge Advisors, LLC

 

RiverPark Strategic Income Fund Asset Acquisition

 

On November 18, 2022, CBA entered into a Purchase and Assignment and Assumption Agreement, as amended on December 28, 2022 (as amended, the “RiverPark Agreement”), with RiverPark Advisors, LLC and Cohanzick, the Company’s majority stockholder and historical sole member of CBA that is majority owned by the Company’s CEO and director, David Sherman, pursuant to which RiverPark Advisors, LLC intended to sell to CBA certain assets and CBA intended to assume certain liabilities, including certain rights and responsibilities under the RiverPark Advisory Agreement (as defined herein) and the RiverPark Expense Limitation Agreement (as defined herein) relating to the provision of investment advisory services for the mutual fund known as RiverPark Strategic Income Fund (the “RiverPark Fund”), subject to certain terms and conditions set forth in the agreement.

 

Pursuant to the RiverPark Agreement, no consideration was paid upon closing; however, CBA shall pay an amount approximately equal to 50% of RiverPark Fund’s management fees (as set forth in RiverPark Fund’s prospectus) to RiverPark (the prior adviser) and Cohanzick (the prior sub-adviser) for a period of three years after closing, and pay an amount approximately equal to 20% of the RiverPark Fund’s management fees in the fourth and fifth years after closing as set forth in the RiverPark Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, certain of the amounts payable based on the RiverPark Fund’s management fees pursuant to the RiverPark Agreement during the first three years after the closing shall be capped such that they are less than $1.3 million in the aggregate.

 

In connection with the RiverPark Agreement, Cohanzick and CBA entered into an agreement which prohibits Cohanzick from competing with a substantially similar strategic income strategy as the RiverPark Fund as an adviser or sub-adviser to a fund registered under the 1940 Act or any Undertakings for the Collective Investment in Transferable Securities products.

 

During the three- and six-month periods ended June 30, 2023, payments made by CBA to Cohanzick in accordance with the RiverPark Agreement totaled $16,588. See Note 5 for more information.

 

Historical Shared Expenses Prior to Consummation of the Merger

 

The Company, through CrossingBridge, and Cohanzick, shared certain staff, office facilities, and administrative services. The parties involved had agreed to allocate these expenses based on the AUM of each party for activity occurring prior to the consummation of the Merger. These allocated expenses are reported under the CrossingBridge operations segment in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations in the categories for which the utilization of services relates. A summary of the expenses allocated from Cohanzick to CBA for the three- and six-month periods ended June 30, 2022 is noted below. There is no comparable activity for the three- and six-month periods ended June 30, 2023, because Post-Merger there were no CBA expenses allocated in this manner.

There was no due to affiliate balance between CBA and Cohanzick reported on the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheets as of the periods ended June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022. Any due to affiliate balance is due 13 months after the calendar year-end upon 60 days’ written notice. If no notice is given, the date payment is due would extend for another 12 months with 0% interest. Repayments made during the three- and six-month periods ended June 30, 2022 by CBA to Cohanzick, for allocated expenses recorded during the year ended December 31, 2021, totaled $1,094,895 and $2,851,229, respectively.

Services Agreement with Cohanzick

 

In connection with the closing of the Merger, CrossingBridge entered into a Services Agreement (the “Services Agreement”) with Cohanzick pursuant to which CrossingBridge will make available to Cohanzick certain of its employees to provide investment advisory, portfolio management and other services to Cohanzick and, through Cohanzick, to Cohanzick’s clients. Any such individuals will be subject to the oversight and control of Cohanzick, and any services so provided to Cohanzick or a client of Cohanzick will be provided by such CBA employees in the capacity of a supervised person of Cohanzick. Cohanzick additionally may use the systems of CBA or its affiliates for its daily operations; provided that appropriate policies, procedures, and other safeguards are established to assure that (a) the books and records of each of CBA and Cohanzick are created and maintained in a manner so as to be clearly separate and distinct from those of the other person and the clients of such person, and (b) confidential client and/or other material non-public information relating to the investment advisory activities of CBA or Cohanzick, as applicable, or other proprietary information regarding either such person or its clients, is safeguarded and maintained for the benefit of such person. As consideration for its services, Cohanzick will pay CBA a quarterly fee equal to 0.05% per annum of the monthly weighted average AUM during such quarter with respect to all clients for which Cohanzick has full investment discretion. Cohanzick and CrossingBridge will also split the payment of certain costs of other systems which use is shared between Cohanzick and CrossingBridge. The initial term of the agreement is one year from the Closing Date. The Services Agreement shall continue until terminated pursuant to its terms. Specifically, after the one year anniversary of the execution of such agreement, either party may terminate the Services Agreement upon at least 120 days’ prior written notice to the other party. Notwithstanding the foregoing, either party may terminate the Services Agreement at any time upon written notice following a material breach of the Services Agreement by other party that remains uncured for at least 30 days after the other party receives notice of, or otherwise reasonably should have been aware of, the material breach.

 

During the three- and six-month periods ended June 30, 2023, CBA reported $44,567 and $89,427 of operating expenses pursuant to the Services Agreement with Cohanzick, respectively.

 

During the three- and six-month periods ended June 30, 2023, CBA earned $129,747 and $283,611 of revenue from the Services Agreement with Cohanzick, respectively. No comparable revenue was earned during the three- and six-month periods ended June 30, 2022 as the Services Agreement was not in force until the Closing Date. As of June 30, 2023, a receivable of $129,747 related to the Services Agreement revenue is included in accounts receivable on the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets. The Services Agreement receivable amount recorded of the year ended December 31, 2022, totaling $160,330, was subsequently collected in full.

 

License Agreement between CBA and Cohanzick

 

Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, the Company, through CBA and Cohanzick entered into a license agreement. The license agreement provides CBA with the right to use and occupy certain office space originally leased by Cohanzick from a third-party landlord pursuant to a lease agreement dated November 23, 2018. The initial term of the license agreement runs through the first anniversary of the commencement date of the license agreement and will automatically renew for subsequent one-year terms unless otherwise earlier terminated pursuant to the terms thereof. Pursuant to the license agreement, CBA shall pay Cohanzick a fee equal to Licensee’s Share (as defined herein) of the following charges: a monthly base rental and increases in certain taxes and operating expenses. “Licensee’s Share” means for a calendar month that occurs in whole or in part during the term, the fraction, expressed as a percentage, the numerator of which is the number of CBA employees that occupied the licensed premises as of the first business day of such calendar month, and the denominator of which is the number of Cohanzick and CBA employees that occupied the premises as of the first business day of such calendar month, as reasonably determined by Cohanzick.

 

During the three- and six-month periods ended June 30, 2023, CBA paid $11,723 and $33,537, respectively, of rental expenses, including utilities, per the license agreement with Cohanzick. No comparable expenses were paid during the three- and six-month periods ended June 30, 2022 as the license agreement with Cohanzick was not in force until the Closing Date.

 

Enterprise Diversified, Inc.

 

Due from Affiliate

 

Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, Enterprise Diversified agreed to reimburse Cohanzick for certain fees and expenses, comprising primarily of legal and accounting fees incurred as part of the share registration process. These fees were initially recorded and reimbursed for a total of $594,152 during the year ended December 31, 2022. Upon further analysis by both parties, it was determined that only $470,329 of these fees were subject to reimbursement in accordance with the Merger Agreement. The initial over payment of these fees, totaling $123,823, has been included within the due from affiliate amount on the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets as of December 31, 2022. During the six-month period ended June 30, 2023, this over payment was repaid in full and the corresponding due from affiliate amount has been settled.

NOTE 4. MERGER AND BUSINESS COMBINATION WITH CROSSINGBRIDGE ADVISORS, LLC AND ENTERPRISE DIVERSIFIED, INC.

 

Overview

 

As previously announced on December 29, 2021, ENDI entered into the Merger Agreement with Enterprise Diversified, Zelda Merger Sub 1, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“First Merger Sub”), Zelda Merger Sub 2, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Second Merger Sub”), CrossingBridge and Cohanzick.

 

Pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement, Enterprise Diversified merged with First Merger Sub, a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, with Enterprise Diversified being the surviving entity, and CrossingBridge merged with Second Merger Sub, a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, with CrossingBridge being the surviving entity. In connection with the Mergers, each share of common stock of Enterprise Diversified was converted into the right to receive one share of Class A common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, of the Company (the “Class A Common Shares” or the “Class A Common Stock”), and Cohanzick, as the sole member of CrossingBridge, received 2,400,000 Class A Common Shares and 1,800,000 shares of Class B common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, of the Company (the “Class B Common Shares” or the “Class B Common Stock”, and together with the Class A Common Shares, the “Common Shares”), a Class W-1 Warrant to purchase 1,800,000 Class A Common Shares (“Class W-1 Warrant” or “W-1 Warrant”) and a Class W-2 Warrant to purchase 250,000 Class A Common Shares (“Class W-2 Warrant” or “W-2 Warrant”). The Class A Common Shares and Class B Common Shares are identical other than the Class B Common Shares: (i) have the right to designate directors (as described below); (ii) shall not be entitled to participate in earnings, dividends or other distributions with respect to the Class A Common Shares; and (iii) shall not receive any assets of the Company in the event of a liquidation and (iv) shall be subject to redemption in certain circumstances. The Class W-1 Warrant and the Class W-2 Warrant issued to Cohanzick may be exercised in whole or in part at any time prior to the date that is five years after the Closing Date, at an exercise price of $8.00 per Class A Common Share, subject to certain adjustments. Each of the warrants may also be exercised on a “cashless” basis at any time at the election of the holder and if not fully exercised prior to the expiration date of the warrant, shall be automatically exercised on a “cashless” basis. In addition, pursuant to the terms of a Securities Purchase Agreement dated as of August 18, 2022, certain designees of Cohanzick and certain officers, directors and employees of Enterprise Diversified purchased an aggregate of 405,000 Class A Common Shares at a price of $5.369 per share.

 

Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, Enterprise Diversified agreed to reimburse Cohanzick certain fees and expenses, which amount to $470,329. These fees were reimbursed during the year ended December 31, 2022 and were reported on the consolidated statements of operations as transaction expenses for the year ended December 31, 2022. On the Closing Date, the Company also entered into a registration rights agreement, (as amended, the “Registration Rights Agreement” or “RRA”), with certain stockholders that are deemed to be affiliates of ENDI immediately following the closing of the Mergers, pursuant to which such stockholders’ Class A Common Shares, including the Class A Common Shares underlying any warrants issued in connection with the Mergers, will be registered for resale on a registration statement to be filed by the Company with the SEC under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.

 

The holders of the Class B Common Stock, voting together as a single class, have the right to designate a number of directors of the Company’s board of directors (rounded up to the nearest whole number) equal to the percentage of the Company’s common shares beneficially owned by the holders of Class B Common Stock and their affiliates at the time of such designation, provided however, that for purposes of this designation right, the holders of the Company’s Class B Common Stock, voting together as a single class, shall have the right to designate not more than a majority of the members of the Company’s board of directors then in office, and, provided further that so long as holders of Class B Common Stock and their affiliates beneficially own at least 5.0% of the total outstanding common shares of the Company, holders of Class B Common Stock, voting together as a single class, shall have the right to designate at least one director. Any director elected to the Company’s board of directors pursuant to the above provisions of the Company’s Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation (the “Certificate of Incorporation”) will be referred to as a “Class B Director” and may only be removed by the holders of a majority of the Class B Common Stock.

 

On the Closing Date, the Company also entered into a stockholder agreement (the “Stockholder Agreement”) with Cohanzick pursuant to which from and after the date that the holders of Class B Common Shares are no longer entitled to elect at least one director to our board of directors pursuant to the Certificate of Incorporation as described above, the following provisions apply: so long as David Sherman, Cohanzick and any of their successors or assigns (collectively, the “Principal Stockholder”) and their Affiliates (as defined in the Stockholder Agreement) beneficially own at least 5% of the Company’s outstanding shares, the Principal Stockholder has the right to designate a number of the Company’s directors of the Company’s board of directors (rounded up to the nearest whole number) equal to the percentage of the Company’s common shares beneficially owned by the Principal Stockholder and its Affiliates at the time of such designation, provided however that for purposes of this designation right, the Principal Stockholder and its Affiliates shall have the right to designate not more than a majority of the members of the Company’s board of directors then in office and, provided further, that so long as the Principal Stockholder and its Affiliates beneficially owns at least 5% of the total outstanding common shares of the Company, its shall have the right to designate at least one director.

On the Closing Date, the Company also entered into a voting agreement (the “Voting Agreement”) with Cohanzick and Steven Kiel and Arquitos Capital Offshore Master, Ltd., in their capacity as the voting party (the “Voting Party”), pursuant to which the Voting Party shall vote all of its securities of the Company entitled to vote in the election of the Company’s directors that such Voting Party or its affiliates own (collectively, the “Voting Shares”) to elect or maintain in office the directors designated by Cohanzick (the “Cohanzick Member Designees”). The Voting Agreement will terminate automatically on the earlier of the date that (i) the holders of the Company’s Class B Common Stock or Cohanzick’s right to designate the Cohanzick Member Designees is terminated or expires for any reason, (ii) Steven Kiel is no longer a member of the Company’s board of directors and (iii) the Voting Party and its affiliates cease to hold any Voting Shares. The Voting Agreement will also terminate automatically with respect to any Voting Shares no longer held by the Voting Party or its affiliates.

 

The Business Combination is accounted for as a reverse acquisition using the acquisition method of accounting in accordance with ASC 805, Business Combinations, with CrossingBridge representing the accounting acquiror. Because the Merger qualifies as a reverse acquisition, and given that CrossingBridge was a private company at the time of the Merger and therefore its value was not readily determinable, the fair value of the Merger consideration was deemed to be equal to the fair value of Enterprise Diversified at the Closing Date. As part of the purchase price allocation, the Company engaged an independent third-party valuation consultant. In determining the total consideration for the ASC 805 analysis, the valuation consultant utilized the volume weighted average price of Enterprise Diversified’s stock from the Merger announcement date, December 30, 2021, through the Closing Date. In doing so, the valuation consultant considered that the Company’s stock was very thinly traded and the public float was only approximately 18.0% of total shares. The consultant also noted the book value of equity was approximately $15.1 million, and composed primarily of short-term assets and liabilities, while the market capitalization as of the Closing Date was approximately $14.5 million based on the closing price of $5.49. As a result of these considerations, the valuation consultant determined that the purchase consideration was estimated to be $18,637,576.

 

Purchase Price Allocation

 

The following table summarizes the fair values of assets acquired and liabilities assumed as of the Closing Date:

 

Cash  $15,873,598 
Accounts receivable, net   35,027 
Note receivable   50,000 
Prepaid expenses   51,933 
Other current assets   119,785 
Fixed assets   3,431 
Goodwill   737,869 
Intangible assets   1,255,000 
Deferred tax assets, net   1,249,556 
Accounts payable   (20,506)
Accrued expenses   (513,922)
Deferred revenue   (203,547)
Other current liabilities   (648)
Total consideration  $18,637,576 

 

The excess of purchase consideration over the fair value of net tangible and intangible assets acquired was recorded as goodwill, which is primarily attributed to the future economic benefits arising from other assets acquired that could not be individually identified and separately recognized including expected synergies and the assembled workforce in place. The fair values assigned to tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed are based on management’s estimates and assumptions and may be subject to change as additional information is received. The primary areas where provisional amounts have been used relate to the fair values of intangible assets acquired, certain tangible assets and liabilities acquired, note receivable, deferred income tax assets and liabilities, and residual goodwill.

 

During the Post-Merger period, the Company recorded three measurement period adjustments to the preliminary recorded values assigned to certain Company assets acquired as of the Closing Date. The fair value assigned to the Company’s note receivable was reduced from $300,000 to $50,000, the fair value assigned to the Company’s domain names was reduced from $235,000 to $175,000, and the fair value assigned to the Company’s net deferred tax assets was increased from $0 to $1,249,556. The net changes in fair value, totaling an increase of $939,556, proportionally decreased the balance of residual goodwill from $1,677,425 to $737,869 as of December 31, 2022. These adjustments were the product of expanded valuation analyses performed by management and were incorporated within the values noted in the table above. As of the period ended June 30, 2023, the Company considers the fair values of assets acquired and liabilities assumed to be final and no longer subject to potential adjustments.

 

While the total amount of residual goodwill remains preliminary, the Company has assigned the residual goodwill based on an internal analysis that compared the anticipated future economic benefit to be generated by each operating segment with the Post-Merger carrying value of the respective operating segment. By way of this analysis, management has allocated the balance of the residual goodwill to the CrossingBridge operations segment as of December 31, 2022.

The following table sets forth the components of identifiable intangible assets acquired and their estimated useful lives as of the Closing Date.

 

Intangible Assets  Estimated
Fair Value
   Estimated Useful
Life (in Years)
 
Customer relationships - Sitestar.net  $490,000    14 
Customer relationships - Willow Oak  $510,000    14 
Trade Name - Sitestar.net  $40,000    7 
Trade Name - Willow Oak  $40,000    7 
Internet Domains - Sitestar.net  $175,000    Indefinite 

 

The estimated fair values of (i) the customer relationships were determined using the multi-period excess earnings method, (ii) the trade names were determined using the relief from royalty income approach, and (iii) the internet domain names were estimated using a market approach. The approaches used to estimate the fair values use significant unobservable inputs including revenue and cash flow forecasts, customer attrition rates, and appropriate discount rates.

NOTE 5. RIVERPARK STRATEGIC INCOME FUND ASSET ACQUISITION

 

As discussed in Note 3, on November 18, 2022, CBA, entered into the RiverPark Agreement with RiverPark Advisors, LLC and Cohanzick pursuant to which RiverPark Advisors, LLC intended to sell to CBA certain assets and CBA intended to assume certain liabilities, including certain rights and responsibilities under the RiverPark Advisory Agreement (as defined herein) and the RiverPark Expense Limitation Agreement (as defined herein) relating to the provision of investment advisory services for the mutual fund known as the RiverPark Fund, subject to certain terms and conditions set forth in the agreement.

 

On May 10, 2023, the board of trustees of the RiverPark Fund and holders of a majority of the outstanding voting securities of RiverPark Fund approved the RiverPark Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby. On May 12, 2023 (the “Closing Date”), as contemplated by the RiverPark Agreement, CBA assumed (i) the advisory services role under that certain Amended and Restated Investment Advisory Agreement (the “RiverPark Advisory Agreement”) dated February 14, 2012 by and between RiverPark and RiverPark Funds Trust (“RiverPark Trust”) pursuant to which RiverPark provided investment advisory services to the RiverPark Fund and (ii) the Operating Expense Limitation Agreement (“RiverPark Expense Limitation Agreement”) dated as of July 1, 2019 by and between RiverPark and RiverPark Trust. Furthermore, pursuant to the RiverPark Agreement, on the Closing Date, the parties to that certain Sub-Advisory Agreement dated as of August 1, 2012 by and among RiverPark, Cohanzick and the RiverPark Trust, on behalf of the RiverPark Fund, have terminated such agreement and made CrossingBridge a party to the RiverPark Expense Limitation Agreement. Furthermore, in connection with the RiverPark Agreement, Cohanzick and CBA entered into an agreement which prohibits Cohanzick from competing with a substantially similar strategic income strategy as the RiverPark Fund as an adviser or sub-adviser to a fund registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, or any Undertakings for the Collective Investment in Transferable Securities products.

 

-21-
 

 

Pursuant to the RiverPark Agreement, no consideration was paid upon closing; however, CBA shall pay an amount approximately equal to 50% of RiverPark Fund’s management fees (as set forth in RiverPark Fund’s prospectus) to RiverPark (the prior adviser) and Cohanzick (the prior sub-adviser) for a period of three years after closing, and pay an amount approximately equal to 20% of the RiverPark Fund’s management fees in the fourth and fifth years after closing as set forth in the RiverPark Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, certain of the amounts payable based on the RiverPark Fund’s management fees pursuant to the RiverPark Agreement during the first three years after the closing shall be capped such that they are less than $1.3 million in the aggregate. This liability is reported on the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheets under earn-out liability.

 

The RiverPark Fund transaction is classified as an asset acquisition, and the costs of the acquisition were allocated to the assets acquired on the basis of their relative fair values. Assets acquired primarily consisted of customer relationships, investment contracts, and a noncompete agreement.

 

By applying the guidance in ASC 323-10-25-2A and ASC 323-10-25-2B to an asset acquisition, as the fair value of the group of assets exceeds the initial consideration, the consideration is recorded as the lesser of the maximum amount of contingent consideration or the excess of the fair value of the net assets acquired over the initial consideration paid. As the initial consideration of the transaction was $0 and there is no maximum amount to the contingent consideration, the later scenario is applied. The purchase price of $2,341,600 consisted of a combination of $2,141,612 in variable cash payments and $199,988 of acquisition costs incurred by the Company in connection with the transaction. Variable cash payments are based on a percentage of the RiverPark Fund net advisory fees earned and daily average assets under management of the fund. Payments are to be made monthly over the next five years.

 

The acquisition-date fair value of the consideration transferred and the allocation of cost to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed at the acquisition date are as follows:

 

 SCHEDULE OF CONSIDERATION TRANSFERRED AND THE ASSETS ACQUIRED AND LIABILITIES ASSUMED

Acquisition-date fair value of consideration transferred:    
Variable cash payments  $2,141,612 
Transaction costs   199,988 
Total purchase price  $2,341,600 
      
Allocation of cost to assets acquired:     
Customer relationships  $2,294,768 
Investment management agreements   23,416 
Noncompete agreement   23,416 
Total cost of assets acquired  $2,341,600 

 

 

NOTE 6. FAIR VALUE OF ASSETS AND LIABILITIES

 

GAAP defines fair value as the amount that would be received from the sale of an asset or paid for the transfer of a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date and establishes a hierarchy for disclosing assets and liabilities measured at fair value based on the inputs used to value them. The fair value hierarchy maximizes the use of observable inputs and minimizes the use of unobservable inputs. Observable inputs are based on market pricing data obtained from sources independent of the Company. Unobservable inputs reflect management’s judgment about the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. The fair value hierarchy includes three levels based on the objectivity of the inputs as follows:

 

  Level I - inputs are quoted prices in active markets as of the measurement date for identical assets and liabilities that the Company has the ability to access. This category includes exchange-traded mutual funds and equity securities;
     
  Level II - inputs are inputs other than quoted prices included in Level I that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. Level II inputs include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, and inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability, such as interest rates or yield curves, that are observable at commonly quoted intervals; this category includes mortgage-backed securities, asset-backed securities, corporate debt securities, certificates of deposit, commercial paper, U.S. agency and municipal debt securities, U.S. Treasury securities, and derivative contracts; and
     
  Level III - inputs are unobservable inputs for the asset or liability and include situations where there is little, if any, market activity for the asset or liability. The measurements are highly subjective.

 

The availability of observable inputs can vary and is affected by a variety of factors. 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 in determining fair value is the greatest for assets or liabilities categorized in Level III.

 

In certain cases, the inputs used to measure fair value may fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy. In such cases, an investment level within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The Company’s assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement in its entirety requires judgment and considers factors specific to the investment.

(a) Certain investments that are measured at fair value using the NAV per share (or its equivalent) as a practical expedient have not been classified in the fair value hierarchy. The fair value amounts presented in this table are intended to permit reconciliation of the fair value hierarchy to the amounts presented in the condensed consolidated balance sheets.

 

Assets and Liabilities Measured at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis

 

As discussed previously, through Enterprise Diversified, the Company holds Level I investments, among which include shares of CrossingBridge Ultra-Short Duration Fund, CrossingBridge Low Duration High Yield Fund, RiverPark Strategic Income Fund, and CrossingBridge Responsible Credit Fund, which are SEC registered mutual funds for which CBA is the adviser, as well as shares of CrossingBridge Pre-Merger SPAC ETF, which is an ETF also advised by CBA. As of June 30, 2023, Level I investments held by the Company in investment products advised by CBA totaled $6,203,265. The Company’s remaining Level I investments held as of June 30, 2023 includes marketable U.S. fixed income and equity securities. There are no liquidity restrictions in connection with these investments held through Enterprise Diversified.

 

The Company’s investment in the commodity-based limited partnership is measured using NAV as the practical expedient and is exempt from the fair value hierarchy. The NAV is based on the value of the underlying assets owned by the fund, minus its liabilities, and allocated based on total fund contributions. The Company’s investment in this limited partnership is remeasured to fair value on a recurring basis and realized and unrealized gains and losses are recognized as investment income in the period of adjustment. As of the period ended June 30, 2023, the Company carried its investment in the commodity-based limited partnership at $194,874. During the three- and six-month periods ended June 30, 2023, the Company recognized $22,362 of net investment income related to this investment. No comparable activity exists for the three- and six-month periods ended June 30, 2022.

 

As discussed previously, pursuant to the Merger Agreement, the Company issued 1,800,000 Class B common shares that are mandatorily redeemable upon exercise of the W-1 Warrant. Management has determined that the W-1 Warrant represents an embedded equity-linked feature within the Class B common shares, and therefore is valued in conjunction with the Class B common shares as a long-term liability on the condensed consolidated balance sheets. The value of the W-1 Warrant and Class B common shares is determined using a Black-Scholes pricing model, resulting in a Level III classification. The pricing model considers a variety of inputs at each measurement date including, but not exclusively, the Company’s closing stock price, the Company’s estimated equity volatility over the remaining warrant term, the warrant exercise price, the Company’s annual rate of dividends, the bond equivalent yield, and remaining term of the W-1 Warrant. Additionally, a discount is applied based on an analysis of the underlying marketability of the Company’s Class A common stock with respect to Rule 144 restrictions. This value is remeasured at each reporting date with the change in value flowing through the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations for the relevant period. The table below represents the relevant inputs used in the value determination as of June 30, 2023 and change in value from the Closing Date to June 30, 2023.

Assets and Liabilities Measured at Fair Value on a Non-Recurring Basis

 

The Company analyzes its intangible assets — goodwill, customer relationships, trade names, investment management agreements, non-compete agreement, and domain names — on an annual basis or more often if events or changes in circumstances indicate potential impairments. No impairments were recorded during the three- and six-month periods ended June 30, 2023. No comparable analysis was performed during the three- and six-month periods ended June 30, 2022 as the Company did not hold any intangible assets prior to the Closing Date.

 

As discussed previously, the Company entered into a contingent consideration arrangement pursuant to the RiverPark Agreement, which is included on the condensed consolidated balance sheets on June 30, 2023 for $2,096,270, including both the short and long-term portions, as an earn-out liability. Contingent payment obligations related to asset purchases, if estimable and probable of payment, are initially recorded at their estimated value and reviewed for changes at every reporting. Any future changes to the estimated value are recorded as an update of the initial acquisition cost of the asset with a corresponding change to the estimated contingent payment obligation on the condensed consolidated balance sheets.

 

As discussed previously, Enterprise Diversified held a promissory note receivable from Triad DIP Investors, LLC and 847,847 aggregate shares of Triad Guaranty, Inc. common stock. During the three-month period ended March 31, 2023, Enterprise Diversified was issued a second amended and restated promissory note by Triad DIP Investors, LLC and was further notified that Triad had successfully secured a new financing resource that would permit a full repayment of Enterprise Diversified’s promissory note. On April 27, 2023, the Company received repayment of the full historical principal balance and accrued interest related to the amended and restated promissory note receivable, which was greater than the Company’s historical recorded carrying amount of $50,000 as of December 31, 2022. As a result of these developments, the Company recognized $334,400 of other income as a realized gain on collection of the note, which is included on the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations for the six-month period ended June 30, 2023. As of June 30, 2023, the Company attributed no value to its shares of Triad Guaranty, Inc. common stock due to the stocks’ general lack of marketability.

 

NOTE 7. INTANGIBLE ASSETS

 

The Company’s intangible assets as of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022 are included below.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

 

This section is intended to provide readers of our financial statements with information regarding our financial condition, results of operations, and items that management views as important. The following discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with our condensed consolidated financial statements and related footnotes as of and for the three- and six-month periods ended June 30, 2023 appearing elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. In addition to historical information, this discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations contains forward-looking statements that involve risks, uncertainties and assumptions. Our actual results may differ materially from those discussed below. In addition to historical information, this discussion and analysis contains forward-looking statements that involve risks, uncertainties and assumptions. Our actual results may differ materially from those discussed below. Factors that could cause or contribute to such differences include, but are not limited to, those identified below, and those discussed in other reports we file with the SEC from time to time. The discussion of results, causes, and trends should not be construed to imply any conclusion that such results or trends will necessarily continue in the future. Additionally, it should be noted that a uniform comparative analysis cannot be performed for all segments, as a segments limited financial history or restructuring results in less comparable financial performance. As a result of the Business Combination that was consummated on August 11, 2022, and the determination that the Business Combination would be accounted for as a reverse acquisition, all historic activity for the three- and six-month periods ended June 30, 2022 represents only the financial activity of CrossingBridge Advisors, LLC. Activity presented for and as of the three- and six-month periods ended June 30, 2023 and as of the year ended December 31, 2022, includes CrossingBridge financial activity, which has been consolidated with the activity of Enterprise Diversified, Inc. and its subsidiaries as of August 11, 2022 through the period ended June 30, 2023. All amounts are in U.S. dollars, unless otherwise noted.

 

Overview

 

The Company operates through four reportable segments.

 

CrossingBridge Operations

 

This segment includes revenue and expenses derived from the Company’s investment advisory and sub-advisory services offered through various SEC registered mutual funds and an exchange-traded fund (“ETF”) through CrossingBridge Advisors, LLC. As of June 30, 2023, CBA serves as an adviser to its five proprietary products and sub-adviser to two additional products. As of June 30, 2023, the assets under management (“AUM”) for CBA, including advised and sub-advised funds, were in excess of $1.6 billion.

 

The investment strategies for CBA include: ultra-short duration, low duration high yield, strategic income, responsible credit, and special purpose acquisition companies (“SPACs”). These strategies primarily employ investment grade and high yield corporate debt, as well as credit opportunities in event-driven securities, post reorganization investments, and stressed and distressed debt. Details of CBA’s products are included below:

 

Product Name   Ticker Symbol   Inception Date   Advisory Role  

AUM as of
June 30, 2023

(in dollars)

CrossingBridge Low Duration High Yield Fund   CBLDX   January 31, 2018   Adviser   568,589,728
CrossingBridge Ultra-Short Duration Fund   CBUDX   June 30, 2021   Adviser   89,222,031
RiverPark Strategic Income Fund   RSIIX   September 30, 2013*   Adviser   265,651,451
CrossingBridge Responsible Credit Fund   CBRDX   June 30, 2021   Adviser   25,032,190
CrossingBridge Pre-Merger SPAC ETF   SPC   September 20, 2021   Adviser   64,591,274
Destinations Low Duration Fixed Income Fund   DLDFX   March 20, 2017   Sub-adviser   255,628,826
Destinations Global Fixed Income Opportunities Fund   DGFFX   March 20, 2017   Sub-adviser   359,859,464

 

*CrossingBridge became the adviser to the RiverPark Strategic Income Fund as of the close of business on May 12, 2023 pursuant to that certain Purchase and Assignment and Assumption Agreement dated as of November 18, 2022 and subsequently amended on December 28, 2022, by and between CBA, RiverPark Advisors, LLC and Cohanzick.

 

During the second quarter of 2023, CBA’s AUM increased by approximately 20.7% to approximately $1.629 billion, and AUM increased by approximately $141 million, or approximately 9.5%, from the period ended June 30, 2022 compared to the period ended June 30, 2023. The overall net increase in AUM was primarily the result of CBA becoming the adviser to the RiverPark Strategic Income Fund, which added approximately $266 million in AUM as of the period ended June 30, 2023 compared to the period ended June 30, 2022. Excluding the RiverPark Strategic Income Fund, net outflows period over period are primarily attributable to a reduction in assets in the Destinations Low Duration Fixed Income sub-advised account. Every proprietary CrossingBridge advised fund, as well as the sub-advised account for the Destinations Global Fixed Income Opportunities Fund, increased their AUM period over period. The AUM of CBA’s proprietary advised funds, having higher management fee rates than CBA’s sub-advised funds, grew by approximately 46.4% compared to advised fund AUM as of the period ended June 30, 2022. CBA’s advised fund AUM represented approximately 62.2% of total AUM as of June 30, 2023 in comparison to 46.5% of total AUM as of June 30, 2022.

 

All five of CBA’s proprietary advised products generated positive returns for investors during the six-month period ended June 30, 2023 and during the year ended December 31, 2022. During the three and six-month periods ended June 30, 2023, CBA believes its contributions to the performance of Destinations Low Duration Fixed Income Fund and the Destinations Global Fixed Income Opportunities Fund were accretive as CBA continues to be a steward of a significant allocation within these funds.

CBA has seen interest in its funds continuing to grow in the registered investment adviser, bank/trust company, and family office segments of the market and believes that widening credit spreads may also help drive momentum for additional AUM growth. CBA expects demand for the CrossingBridge Low Duration High Yield Fund to continue to increase as the fund has recently attained a strong five-year track record and a five-out-of-five star rating, as of January 31, 2023. In addition, the RiverPark Strategic Income Fund is approaching its 10-year anniversary on September 30, 2023, which will establish a 10-year track record for the fund. CBA believes this will also help drive continued demand.

 

For the two newer mutual funds (CrossingBridge Ultra-Short Duration Fund and the CrossingBridge Responsible Credit Fund), although they do not have established track records as individual funds, CBA believes that the market environment paired with its long-standing reputation in the fixed income space will be helpful in continuing to raise assets for those funds. As for the CrossingBridge Pre-Merger SPAC ETF which was launched on September 20, 2021, we believe the fund remains a viable ultra-short, fixed income alternative. The size of the opportunity set, however, has significantly decreased from peak levels as a substantial amount of SPACs have either completed deals or liquidated, paired with a slowdown in new issuance/capital market activity over the past year. Looking forward, we believe the size of the SPAC market may continue to fluctuate and will be dependent upon a number of factors, including the number and size of mergers and/or liquidations as well as new issues. CBA will continue to closely monitor developments in the market.

 

On November 18, 2022, CBA entered into a Purchase and Assignment and Assumption Agreement, as amended on December 28, 2022 with RiverPark Advisors, LLC and Cohanzick (as amended, the “RiverPark Agreement” pursuant to which RiverPark Advisors, LLC intended to sell to CBA certain assets and CBA intended to assume certain liabilities, including certain rights and responsibilities under the RiverPark Advisory Agreement (as defined herein) and the RiverPark Expense Limitation Agreement (as defined herein) relating to the provision of investment advisory services for the mutual fund known as RiverPark Strategic Income Fund (“RSIIX”), subject to certain terms and conditions set forth in the agreement. The transactions contemplated by such agreement closed on May 12, 2023. See Note 5 to the condensed consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for more information. Since the RiverPark Agreement was announced on November 28, 2022, which proposed CBA assuming the role as the adviser to the RiverPark Strategic Income Fund, RSIIX has grown by approximately $83 million, or approximately 45%, with ending AUM as of June 30, 2023 totaling approximately $266 million. RSIIX attained a five-out-of-five star rating for both a three- and five-year period.

 

Willow Oak Operations

 

This segment includes revenue and expenses derived from the Company’s various joint ventures, service offerings, and initiatives undertaken in the asset management industry through Willow Oak Asset Management, LLC and its subsidiaries. During the three-month period ended June 30, 2023, Willow Oak Asset Management Fund Management Services, LLC (“Willow Oak”) entered into a consulting services agreement with an independently managed investment firm to launch a new private investment partnership. Pursuant to such agreement, Willow Oak and its affiliates reported revenue in the current period for services related to fund launch activities, compliance related activities, marketing, operational consulting, and service-provider on-boarding. Subsequent to the period ended June 30, 2023, Willow Oak entered into two new ongoing fund management services agreements pursuant to which Willow Oak and its affiliates will earn monthly revenue for services related to consulting, investor relations and marketing, accounting and bookkeeping, compliance program monitoring, fund management, and business development support.

 

Internet Operations

 

This segment includes revenue and expenses related to the Company’s sale of internet access, e-mail and hosting, storage, and other ancillary services through Sitestar.net, Inc.

 

Other Operations

 

This segment includes any revenue and expenses from the Company’s nonrecurring or one-time strategic funding or similar activity and other corporate operations that is not considered to be one of the Company’s primary lines of business, and any expenses related to public company reporting, the oversight of subsidiaries, and other items that affect the overall Company.

 

Management of the Company also continually reviews various business opportunities for the Company, including those in other lines of business. The Company’s primary focus is on generating cash flow so that the Company has the flexibility to pursue opportunities as they present themselves. The Company intends to only invest cash in a segment if the Company believes that the return on the invested capital is appropriate for the risk associated with the investment. This consideration is measured against all investment opportunities available to the Company and is not limited to the foregoing segments nor the Company’s historical operations.

Enterprise Diversified, Inc.

 

On June 12, 2023, through Enterprise Diversified, Inc. (“Enterprise Diversified”), the Company invested $172,512 in a commodity-based limited partnership managed by a third-party general partner. The general partner is entitled to certain management fees and profit allocations and the Company’s investment is subject to a two-year lockup from the date of the initial investment. As of the period ended June 30, 2023, this investment is carried at its reported net asset value (“NAV”) of $194,874. During the three-month period ended June 30, 2023, this investment generated $22,362 of net investment income. Also during the three-month period ended June 30, 2023, through Enterprise Diversified under the other operations segment, the Company invested $1,200,000 into CrossingBridge’s newly acquired RiverPark Strategic Income Fund.

 

eBuild Ventures, LLC

 

On March 16, 2023, through eBuild Ventures, LLC (“eBuild”), the Company made a capital contribution of $955,266, representing approximately a 3% ownership stake, in a private company that operates in the consumer products e-commerce space fulfilled by Amazon. This investment is carried at its cost basis of $955,266 as of June 30, 2023.

 

Financing Arrangement - Triad Guaranty, Inc.

 

In August 2017, Enterprise Diversified entered into an agreement with several independent third parties to provide debtor-in-possession financing to an unaffiliated third party, Triad Guaranty, Inc., through Triad DIP Investors, LLC. Triad Guaranty, Inc. exited bankruptcy in April 2018, and Enterprise Diversified was subsequently issued a second amended and restated promissory note. On April 27, 2023, the Company received repayment of the full historical principal balance and accrued interest related to such note. Enterprise Diversified also holds shares of Triad Guaranty, Inc. common stock, which were received as consideration for certain amounts of accrued interest earned pursuant to the amended and restated promissory note. As of June 30, 2023, we attribute no value to the shares of Triad Guaranty, Inc. common stock held due to the stocks’ general lack of marketability.

 

Summary of Financial Performance

 

Stockholders’ equity increased from $20,382,693 at December 31, 2022 to $21,362,979 at June 30, 2023. This change was primarily attributed to $1,221,576 of net income in the CrossingBridge operations segment, $129,842 of net income in the internet operations segment, a net loss of $158,165 in the Willow Oak operations segment, and a net loss of $334,413 in other segments for the six-month period ended June 30, 2023.

Results of Operations

 

CrossingBridge Operations

 

Revenue attributed to the CrossingBridge operations segment for the three-month period ended June 30, 2023 was $2,042,478, representing an increase of $280,121 compared to the three-month period ended June 30, 2022. This increase was primarily due to the current period revenue attributed to CBA’s Services Agreement with Cohanzick and additional management fees earned from the RiverPark Strategic Income Fund. The increase in revenue was offset by an increase of $207,513 in operating expenses, which totaled $1,193,310 for the three-month period ended June 30, 2023. The increase in operating expenses for the three-month period ended June 30, 2023, compared to the three-month period ended June 30, 2022, was primarily associated with an increase in employee compensation expenses and fund distribution, custody, and administrative expenses. Net profit margin decreased slightly to 42% for the three-month period ended June 30, 2023 from 43% for the three-month period ended June 30, 2022. This was largely due to the relative increase in operating expenses period over period.

 

Revenue attributed to the CrossingBridge operations segment for the six-month period ended June 30, 2023 was $3,769,732, representing an increase of $300,251 compared to the six-month period ended June 30, 2022. This increase was also primarily due to the current period revenue attributed to CBA’s Services Agreement with Cohanzick and additional management fees earned from the RiverPark Strategic Income Fund. The increase in revenue was offset by an increase of $627,944 in operating expenses, which totaled $2,556,406 for the six-month period ended June 30, 2023. The increase in operating expenses for the six-month period ended June 30, 2023, compared to the six-month period ended June 30, 2022, was again primarily associated with an increase in employee compensation expenses and fund distribution, custody, and administrative expenses. Net profit margin decreased to 32% for the six-month period ended June 30, 2023 from 44% for the six-month period ended June 30, 2022. This was largely due to the relative increase in operating expenses period over period. 

 

Compensation and related costs are typically comprised of salaries, bonuses, and benefits. Salary compensation and bonuses are generally the largest expenses for the CBA segment. Bonuses are subjective and based on individual performance, the underlying funds’ performance, and profitability of the company, as well as the consideration of future outlook. Compensation and related costs increased by $235,748 and $408,410 for the three- and six-month periods ended June 30, 2023, respectively, compared to the three- and six-month periods ended June 30, 2022. These increases were due to salary increases that took effect at the beginning of the current year, a relative increase in accrued but unpaid annual bonus amounts, and the hiring of an additional employee in the current year. Compensation expenses can fluctuate period over period as management evaluates investment performance, individual performance, Company performance, and other factors.

Fund distribution, custody, and administrative expenses increased by $58,760 and $76,061 for the three- and six-month periods ended June 30, 2023, respectively, compared to the three- and six-month periods ended June 30, 2022. These increases were due to a relative increase in AUM period over period.

 

CBA expects that its net margin will fluctuate from period to period based on various factors, including: revenues, investment results, and the development of investment strategies, products, and/or channels.

 

Assets Under Management

 

CBA derives its revenue from its investment advisory fees. Investment advisory fees paid to CBA are based on the value of the investment portfolios it manages and fluctuate with changes in the total value of its AUM.

 

CBA’s revenues are highly dependent on both the value and composition of AUM. The following is a summary of CBA’s AUM by product and investment strategy as of June 30, 2023 and June 30, 2022.

Total CBA AUM increased by approximately $141 million from June 30, 2023 compared to June 30, 2022. The primary driver of this increase was the addition of the AUM of the RiverPark Strategic Income Fund, which included approximately $266 million of AUM as of the period ended June 30, 2023.

 

Performance

 

Although performance is a key metric to measure an adviser’s success, there are other metrics that CBA believes are more meaningful to its investors, including downside protection during difficult environments, sensitivity to rising interest rates, upside/downside capture, and the risk-adjusted return. Although CBA does not manage to benchmarks, CBA does provide benchmarks to investors as a frame of reference, which are set forth below:

With respect to both Destinations Low Duration Fixed Income Fund and Destinations Global Fixed Income Opportunities Fund (collectively, the “Destination Funds”), CBA serves as one sub-adviser as part of a manager of managers strategy. As one of multiple sub-advisers, CBA does not select the benchmarks, and does not have a license to use, the benchmark performance information for the Destination Funds. CBA believes that the benchmark performance information is not material in this context because CBA’s advisory services with respect to the Destination Funds involves only a portion of the assets of the Destination Funds while the benchmarks are selected as an appropriate comparison based on the entire portfolio of the Destination Funds across all of the relevant sub-advisers.

 

Willow Oak Operations

 

Willow Oak generates its revenue through various fee share and consulting agreements with private investment firms and partnerships in exchange for providing operational services. Willow Oak does not manage, direct, or invest any capital itself, but rather earns fee shares based on its service agreements and the AUM and periodic performance of the investment firms and partnerships with which it partners. Fee shares earned on AUM, management fee shares, and fund management services revenue are recognized and recorded on a monthly or quarterly basis in alignment with the underlying terms of each investment partnership. Revenue fee shares earned on performance are recognized and recorded only when the underlying investment partnership’s performance crystalizes, which is typically on an annual, calendar-year basis. As performance fee shares are based on investments returns, these fee shares have the potential to be highly variable.

 

During the three- and six-month periods ended June 30, 2023, the Willow Oak operations segment generated $72,240 and $96,753 of revenue, respectively. Operating expenses totaled $160,410 and $255,228 and other income totaled $405 and $310, respectively. Willow Oak’s net loss for the three- and six-month periods ended June 30, 2023 totaled $87,765 and $158,165, respectively. Compensation and related payroll costs represent Willow Oak’s most significant operating expense during the three- and six-month periods ended June 30, 2023. Further, Willow Oak also hosts its most significant client relations event annually in the second quarter of the year, which comparatively increases the related event and travel expenses during the second quarter.

 

The table below provides a summary of revenue amounts for Willow Oak, which are included in the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations for the three- and six-month periods ended June 30, 2023.

 

   Three-Month Period Ended June 30,   Six-Month Period Ended June 30,

See Note 4 to the condensed consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for more information.

 

Other Operations

 

During the three-month period ended June 30, 2023, the Company’s other operations segment did not produce any revenue or cost of revenue. During the three-month period ended June 30, 2023, operating expenses totaled $381,463 and other income totaled $607,738. Corporate operating expenses accounted for $357,320 of reported operating expenses for our other operations segment during the three-month period ended June 30, 2023. Included in corporate operating expenses reported during the three-month period ended June 30, 2023 are $39,700 of non-cash stock compensation expenses recorded as part of equity awards granted to directors and employees under the Company’s 2022 Omnibus Equity Incentive Plan. During the three-month period ended June 30, 2023, the other operations segment reported $355,000 of other income related to the Company’s periodic revaluation of its liability associated with the Class W-1 Warrant and Class B Common Stock, $89,890 of interest and dividend income, and $151,516 of other net investment income. This resulted in net income of $17,398 for the other operations segment for the three-month period ended June 30, 2023.

 

Comparatively, during the six-month period ended June 30, 2023, the Company’s other operations segment again did not produce any revenue or cost of revenue. During the six-month period ended June 30, 2023, operating expenses totaled $1,021,239 and other income totaled $686,826. Corporate operating expenses accounted for $971,625 of reported operating expenses for our other operations segment during the six-month period ended June 30, 2023. Included in corporate operating expenses reported during the six-month period ended June 30, 2023 are $121,446 of non-cash stock compensation expenses recorded as part of equity awards granted to directors and employees under the Company’s 2022 Omnibus Equity Incentive Plan. During the six-month period ended June 30, 2023, the other operations segment reported $103,000 of other income related to the Company’s periodic revaluation of its liability associated with the Class W-1 Warrant and Class B Common Stock, $334,400 of other income related to the realized gain on the Company’s promissory note to Triad DIP Investors, LLC, $201,712 of interest and dividend income, and $269,214 of other net investment income. This resulted in a net loss of $334,413 for the other operations segment for the six-month period ended June 30, 2023.

 

Included in other operations operating expenses for the three- and six-month periods ended June 30, 2023 were $117,872 and $455,664 of professional expenses related to legal, accounting, and consulting services, as well as $132,093 and $253,387 of compensation related expenses, respectively.

 

During the three- and six-month periods ended June 30, 2023, the Company reported $208,877 and $241,110 of income tax expenses, respectively, which are related to a decrease in net deferred tax assets coupled with an increase in the Company’s currently payable income tax liability. As noted above, due to CBA’s disregarded status for periods prior to the Closing Date, no comparable income tax expenses existed for the three- and six-month periods ended June 30, 2022.

 

No additional other operations activity is available or included for the other operations segment for periods presented prior to August 12, 2022, including the three- and six-month periods ended June 30, 2022, because the other operations were not part of CBA pre-merger. See Note 4 to the condensed consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for more information.

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

During the three- and six-month periods ended June 30, 2023, the Company carried out its business strategy in four operating segments: CrossingBridge operations, Willow Oak operations, internet operations, and other operations. As a result of the Business Combination that occurred on August 11, 2022 and the determination that the Business Combination would be accounted for as a reverse acquisition, historical activity presented for the three- and six-month periods ended June 30, 2022 includes only CrossingBridge financial activity.

 

Our primary focus is on generating cash flow so that we have the flexibility to pursue opportunities as they present themselves. We intend to only invest cash in a segment if we believe that the return on the invested capital is appropriate for the risk associated with the investment. This consideration is measured against all investment opportunities available to us and is not limited to these particular segments nor our historical operations.

 

A significant amount of the Company’s assets are comprised of cash and cash equivalents, investments in securities, and accounts receivable. The Company’s main source of liquidity is cash flows from operating activities, which are primarily generated from investment advisory fees generated through CrossingBridge operations. Cash and cash equivalents, investments in securities, and net accounts receivable represented approximately $9.3 million, $7.8 million and $0.9 million of total assets as of June 30, 2023, respectively, and approximately $10.7 million, $5.9 million and $0.7 million of total assets as of December 31, 2022, respectively. The Company believes that these sources of liquidity, as well as its continuing cash flows from operating activities will be sufficient to meet its current and future operating needs for at least the next 12 months.

 

-35-
 

 

In line with the Company’s objectives, it anticipates that its main uses of cash will be for operating expenses and seed capital to fund new and existing investment strategies through its CrossingBridge operations segment. The Company’s management regularly reviews various factors to determine whether it has capital in excess of that required for its business, and the appropriate uses of any such excess capital.

 

The aging of accounts receivable as of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022 is as follows:

 

   June 30, 2023   December 31, 2022 
Current  $914,796   $741,363 
30 - 60 days   697    3,275 
60+ days   960    - 
Total  $916,453   $744,638 

 

We have no material capital expenditure requirements.

 

Cash Flow Analysis

 

Cash Flows from Operating Activities

 

The Company reported $1,473,081 of net cash provided by operating activities for the six-month period ended June 30, 2023. The realized gain on the note receivable, an increase in accrued compensation expenses, an increase in accounts receivable, and a decrease in net deferred tax assets represented significant adjusting items to cash flows generated through operations. During the six-month period ended June 30, 2022, the Company reported $2,210,260 of net cash provided by operating activities, which was primarily attributed to an increase in accrued compensation expenses and net income generated for the period.

 

Cash Flows from Investing Activities

 

The Company reported $2,903,656 of net cash used in investing activities for the six-month period ended June 30, 2023. This was primarily related to an increase in investments and an investment made in a private company during the current period. During the six-month period ended June 30, 2022, the Company reported $16,532 of net cash provided by investing activities, which was attributed to a decrease in investments for the period.

 

Cash Flows from Financing Activities

 

The Company reported $78,481 of net cash flows provided by financing activities for the six-month period ended June 30, 2023. This was primarily related to the collection of the due from affiliate balance during the period. During the six-month period ended June 30, 2022, the Company reported $2,437,341 of net cash used in financing activities, which was attributed to a decrease in the due to affiliate amount during the period.

 

Summary Discussion of Critical Accounting Estimates

 

The financial statements were prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, which requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. These estimates and assumptions affect various matters, including our reported amounts of assets and liabilities in our condensed consolidated balance sheets at the dates of the financial statements; our disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the dates of the financial statements; and our reported amounts of revenues and expenses in our pre-merger carve-out statements of operations during the reporting periods. These estimates involve judgments with respect to numerous factors that are difficult to predict and are beyond management’s control. As a result, actual amounts could materially differ from these estimates.

 

The SEC defines critical accounting estimates as those that are both most important to the portrayal of a company’s financial condition and results of operations and require management’s most difficult, subjective, or complex judgment, often as a result of the need to make estimates about the effect of matters that are inherently uncertain and may change in subsequent periods. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions we believe to be reasonable according to current facts and circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. In Note 2 to the condensed consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, we discuss our significant accounting policies, including those that do not require management to make difficult, subjective, or complex judgments or estimates. The most significant areas involving management’s judgments and estimates are described below.

Fair-Value of Long-Term Assets

 

Assets Acquired Pursuant to the Business Combination

 

The excess of purchase consideration over the fair value of net tangible and intangible assets acquired was recorded as goodwill, which is primarily attributed to the future economic benefits arising from other assets acquired that could not be individually identified and separately recognized including expected synergies and the assembled workforce in place. The fair values assigned to tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed are based on management’s estimates and assumptions and may be subject to change as additional information is received.

 

During the Post-Merger period, the Company recorded three measurement period adjustments to the preliminary recorded fair values assigned to certain Company assets acquired as of the Closing Date. The net changes in fair value, netting an increase of $939,556, proportionally decreased the balance of residual goodwill from $1,677,425 to $737,869 as of December 31, 2022. These adjustments were the product of expanded valuation analyses performed by management during the Post-Merger period. As of the period ended June 30, 2023, the Company considers the fair values of assets acquired and liabilities assumed to be final and no longer subject to potential adjustments. See Note 4 to the condensed consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for more information.

 

Goodwill

 

The Company tests its goodwill annually as of December 31, or more often if events and circumstances indicate that those assets might not be recoverable. Impairment testing of goodwill is required at the reporting-unit level (operating segment or one level below operating segment). The impairment test involves calculating the impairment of goodwill based solely on the excess of the carrying value of the reporting unit over the fair value of the reporting unit. Prior to performing the impairment test, the Company may make a qualitative assessment of the likelihood of goodwill impairment to determine whether a detailed quantitative analysis is required. This qualitative assessment and the ongoing evaluation of events and circumstances represent critical accounting estimates. Management considers a variety of factors when making these estimates, which include, but are not limited to, internal changes in the segment’s operations, external changes that affect the segment’s industry, and overall financial condition of the segment and Company.

 

Management did not identify any events or circumstances during the three- and six-month periods ended June 30, 2023 that would indicate potential goodwill impairment, nor did management’s qualitative assessment performed on December 31, 2022 indicate a potential goodwill impairment. Total goodwill reported on the condensed consolidated balance sheets was $737,869 as of the period ended June 30, 2023.

 

Long-Term Investments

 

When investment inputs or publicly available information are limited or unavailable, management estimates the value of certain long-term investments using the limited information it has available, which can include the Company’s cost basis. This process, which was used to measure the values of the Company’s investments in the private companies made through eBuild, represents critical accounting estimates. Management utilizes the available inputs to perform an initial valuation estimate and subsequently updates that valuation when additional inputs become available.

 

Management did not identify any events or circumstances during the three- and six-month periods ended June 30, 2023 that would indicate potential impairment of eBuild’s private company investments. These investments are reported on the condensed consolidated balance sheets for a total of $1,405,266 as of the period ended June 30, 2023.

 

Other Intangible Assets

 

When management determines that material intangible assets are acquired in conjunction with the purchase of a business, the Company determines the fair values of the identifiable intangible assets by taking into account internal and external appraisals. The Company evaluates, at each balance sheet date, whether events and circumstances have occurred that indicate possible impairment. These initial appraisals, as well as the subsequent evaluation of events and circumstances that may indicate impairment, represent critical accounting estimates.

 

Management did not identify any events or circumstances during the three- and six-month periods ended June 30, 2023 that would indicate potential impairment of the Company’s customer lists, trade names, investment management agreements, non-compete, or domain names. The total value of the Company’s intangible assets, net of amortization and excluding goodwill, reported under long-term assets on the condensed consolidated balance sheets is $3,461,054 as of the period ended June 30, 2023.

Deferred Tax Assets and Liabilities

 

Income taxes are accounted for under the asset and liability method, which requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax benefits or consequences of events that have been included in the condensed consolidated financial statements. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance when, in the opinion of management, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. Management’s analysis of the amount of deferred tax assets that will ultimately be realized represents a critical accounting estimate.

 

As of June 30, 2023, the Company had federal and state net operating loss carryforwards of approximately $6 million. A portion of these carryforwards will expire in various amounts beginning in 2035; however the majority of these carryforwards will not expire as they were generated after December 31, 2017. The Company expects it will be able to use its carryforwards subject to expiration in full prior to 2035. Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (“Section 382”), limits the use of net operating loss carryforwards in certain situations where changes occur in the stock ownership of a company. Net operating losses that arose prior to that ownership change will have limited availability to offset taxable income arising in periods following the ownership change. During the year ended December 31, 2022, the Company performed an analysis to determine if a change of control occurred as a product of the Business Combination and has concluded that a change of control is more likely than not to have occurred on August 11, 2022. Under Section 382, net operating loss carryforwards that arose prior to the ownership change will have limited availability to offset taxable income arising in future periods following the ownership change. Section 382 imposes multiple separate and distinct limits on the utilization of pre-change of control net operating losses based on the fair market value of the Company immediately prior to the change of control, as well as certain activities that may or may not occur during the 60 months immediately following the change of control. While the majority of the Company’s historic net operating losses will be limited to an annual threshold, the majority of historic net operating losses also will not be subject to future expiration. As of the period ended June 30, 2023, the Company has not provided a valuation allowance against its net operating losses as the Company expects to be able to use its net operating losses in full to offset future taxable income generated by the Company.

 

As of the period ended June 30, 2023, the Company reported $1,334,532 of net deferred tax assets on its condensed consolidated balance sheets.

 

Contingencies, Commitments, and Litigation

 

Liabilities are recognized when management determines that contingencies, commitments, and/or litigation represent events that are more likely than not to result in a measurable obligation to the Company. Management’s analysis of these events represents a critical accounting estimate.

 

Earn-Out Liability

 

Contingent payment obligations related to asset purchases, if estimable and probable of payment, are initially recorded at their estimated value and reviewed for changes at every reporting. Any changes to the estimated value are recorded as an update of the initial acquisition cost of the asset with a corresponding change to the estimated contingent payment obligation on the condensed consolidated balance sheets.

 

Pursuant to the RiverPark Agreement, the Company entered into an earn-out arrangement in which CBA shall pay an amount approximately equal to 50% of RiverPark Fund’s management fees (as set forth in RiverPark Fund’s prospectus) to RiverPark (the prior adviser) and Cohanzick (the prior sub-adviser) for a period of three years after closing on May 12, 2023, and pay an amount approximately equal to 20% of the RiverPark Fund’s management fees in the fourth and fifth years after closing as set forth in the RiverPark Agreement. As of the period ended June 30, 2023, this liability is reported in total at $2,096,270 on the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheets.

 

W-1 Warrant and Class B Common Shares

 

Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, on the Closing Date the Company issued a Class W-1 Warrant to purchase 1,800,000 of the Company’s Class A Common Stock. The liability associated with the issuance of the such warrant, and the embedded shares of Class B Common Stock, is based on an independent third-party valuation methodology, which includes a Black-Scholes pricing model. As of the period ended June 30, 2023, the long-term liability reported on the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheets for the W-1 Warrant and shares of Class B Common Stock totals $473,000. See Note 6 to the condensed consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for more information.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

 

The Company is not required to provide the information required by this Item as it is a “smaller reporting company,” as defined in Rule 12b-2 of the Exchange Act.

 

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

 

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

 

The Company’s management, with the participation of our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, have evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our “disclosure controls and procedures,” as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Exchange Act, as of June 30, 2023. Disclosure controls and procedures are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures. Based upon this evaluation, and based upon material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting identified as of the date of our most recent evaluation of internal controls over financial reporting as set forth below, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of June 30, 2023.

 

Material Weaknesses in Internal Controls

 

A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of our financial statements would not be prevented or detected on a timely basis.

 

As a result of our evaluations, we identified the following material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting as of June 30, 2023:

 

Segregation of Duties: We lack segregation of duties. Specifically:

 

  There is not a formal review of all adjusting journal entries;
     
  There is not a formal procedure for the review and assignment of access rights within certain software systems; and
     
  The individual with responsibility for reviewing journal entries, reviewing bank and credit card payments, and other reconciliations also has a wide range of access within the Company’s systems and is an authorized signatory on bank accounts.

 

Financial Close and Reporting: We do not have effective internal controls over all parts of the financial close and reporting process in that one individual is responsible for reconciling significant accounts, preparing the most significant journal entries, evaluating complex transactions and reporting requirements, and is also responsible for the financial statement close, consolidation, and reporting process.

 

During the year ended December 31, 2022, as a result of the closing of the Merger, we were afforded additional personnel resources that can now be integrated into our internal control processes. We are actively working to restructure our historical internal controls over financial reporting to leverage these resources accordingly. We continue to make efforts to reinforce our internal control environment by utilizing an external accounting firm during our financial closing process, engaging third-party consultants to review the accounting and related disclosures for transactions that management and the board of directors determine to be particularly complex, and maintaining strict document retention policies and procedures that allow for full visibility of all financial statements and schedules by all of our managers and officers.

 

In response to the identified material weaknesses, we are developing a phased approach that is intended to increase the effectiveness of the design and operation of our financial reporting controls and processes. In the first phase, we expect to work with a third-party professional consultant to prepare formal documentation for our internal controls over financial reporting, which may include an entity level controls assessment, an IT general controls assessment, and process area flowcharts where necessary. In the second phase, we expect to use our control documentation to identify ineffectively designed and/or control gaps and work to remediate them. Finally, in phase three, we expect to design a systematic monitoring plan to sufficiently test our new key controls over the course of future reporting periods. We aim to complete the first and second phase of this project before the end of the current fiscal year. Notwithstanding the foregoing, there is no guarantee that we will be successful in completing this multi-phased approach and remediating the material weaknesses.

 

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

 

There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the three-month period ended June 30, 2023, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

 

Limitations on Effectiveness of Controls and Procedures

 

In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, cannot provide absolute assurance that the objectives of the controls system are met, and no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within a company have been detected. In addition, the design of disclosure controls and procedures must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints and that management is required to apply judgment in evaluating the benefits of possible controls and procedures relative to their costs.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

 

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

 

From time to time, we may become involved in various lawsuits and legal proceedings, which arise in the ordinary course of business. Litigation is subject to inherent uncertainties, and an adverse result in these or other matters may arise from time to time that may harm our business. We are currently not aware of any such legal proceedings or claims that will have, individually or in the aggregate, a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition or operating results. Except as set forth below, we are not currently aware of any other legal proceedings to which the Company is party.

 

Enterprise Diversified, Inc. (f/k/a Sitestar Corporation) v. Frank Erhartic, Jr.

 

On April 12, 2016, Enterprise Diversified filed a civil action complaint against Frank Erhartic, Jr. (the “Former CEO”), Enterprise Diversified’s former CEO and director (prior to December 14, 2015) and an owner of record of Enterprise Diversified’s common stock, alleging, among other things, that the Former CEO engaged in, and caused Enterprise Diversified to engage in, to its detriment, a series of unauthorized and wrongful related party transactions, including: causing Enterprise Diversified to borrow certain amounts from the Former CEO’s mother unnecessarily and at a commercially unreasonable rate of interest; converting certain funds of Enterprise Diversified for personal rent payments to the Former CEO; commingling in land trusts certain real properties owned by Enterprise Diversified and real properties owned by the Former CEO; causing Enterprise Diversified to pay certain amounts to the Former CEO for lease payments under an unauthorized lease as to a storage facility owned by the Former CEO; causing Enterprise Diversified to pay rent on its corporate headquarters owned by the Former CEO’s ex-wife in amounts commercially unreasonable and excessive, and making real estate tax payments thereon for the personal benefit of the Former CEO; converting to the Former CEO and/or absconding with five motor vehicles owned by Enterprise Diversified; causing Enterprise Diversified to pay real property and personal property taxes on numerous properties owned personally by the Former CEO; causing Enterprise Diversified to pay personal credit card debt of the Former CEO; causing Enterprise Diversified to significantly overpay the Former CEO’s health and dental insurance for the benefit of the Former CEO; and causing Enterprise Diversified to pay the Former CEO’s personal automobile insurance. Enterprise Diversified is seeking, among other relief available, monetary damages in excess of $350,000. This litigation matter is currently pending in the Circuit Court for the City of Lynchburg (Lynchburg, Virginia), and is set and scheduled for trial on September 14, 2023. During the period ended March 31, 2023, the parties engaged in settlement discussions with respect to the case; however, the parties have thus far been unsuccessful in reaching an agreement. Enterprise Diversified intends to move forward with a trial of the case to conclusion should the parties fail to reach a settlement agreement.

 

Item 1A. Risk Factors

 

Risk factors that affect our business and financial results are discussed in Part I, Item 1A “Risk Factors,” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022 as filed with the SEC on March 30, 2023 (“Annual Report”). There have been no material changes in our risk factors from those previously disclosed in our Annual Report. You should carefully consider the risks described in our Annual Report, which could materially affect our business, financial condition or future results. The risks described in our Annual Report are not the only risks we face. Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to us or that we currently deem to be immaterial also may materially adversely affect our business, financial condition, and/or operating results. If any of the risks actually occur, our business, financial condition, and/or results of operations could be negatively affected.

ORGANIZATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

NOTE 1. ORGANIZATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

Organization and Lines of Business

 

ENDI Corp. (“ENDI”) was incorporated in Delaware on December 23, 2021. On August 11, 2022 (the “Closing Date”), the Company (as defined herein) completed its mergers (the “Mergers”) pursuant to that certain Agreement and Plan of Merger dated December 29, 2021 (as amended, the “Merger Agreement”) by and among ENDI, Enterprise Diversified, Inc. (“Enterprise Diversified”), Zelda Merger Sub 1, Inc., Zelda Merger Sub 2, LLC, CrossingBridge Advisors, LLC (“CrossingBridge” or “CBA”) and Cohanzick Management, LLC (“Cohanzick”). As a result of the Mergers, Enterprise Diversified and CrossingBridge merged with wholly owned subsidiaries of ENDI and now operate as wholly owned subsidiaries of the Company. The Company is the successor registrant to Enterprise Diversified’s Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) registration effective as of the Closing Date of the Mergers.

 

The reporting period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the period ended June 30, 2023 reflects the standalone business of CrossingBridge prior to the Closing Date of the Mergers including the three- and six-month periods ended June 30, 2022, and reflects the consolidated business of the Company, including CrossingBridge and Enterprise Diversified for the period ended June 30, 2023 and as of December 31, 2022.

 

On the Closing Date, Enterprise Diversified and CrossingBridge became wholly owned subsidiaries of ENDI as a result of the Mergers (collectively with the other transactions described in the Merger Agreement, the “Business Combination”). The Business Combination is accounted for as a reverse acquisition using the acquisition method of accounting in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification 805, Business Combinations, with CrossingBridge representing the accounting acquiror.

 

Prior to the Closing Date, including during the period ended June 30, 2022, the Company operated through a single reportable segment, CrossingBridge operations. Beginning on the Closing Date through the year ended December 31, 2022, the post-Merger period, and continuing through the current period ended June 30, 2023, the Company operated through four reportable segments: CrossingBridge operations, Willow Oak operations, internet operations, and other operations. The management of the Company also continually reviews various business opportunities for the Company, including those in other lines of business.

 

Unless the context otherwise requires, and when used herein, the “Company,” “ENDI,” “ENDI Corp.,” “we,” “our,” or “us” refers to ENDI Corp. individually, or as the context requires, collectively with its subsidiaries as of and after the Closing Date, and to CrossingBridge for the periods up to the Closing Date, due to the determination that CrossingBridge represents the accounting acquiror.

 

CrossingBridge Operations

 

CBA was formed as a limited liability company on December 23, 2016, under the laws of the State of Delaware. CBA derives its revenue and net income from investment advisory services. CBA is a registered investment adviser under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, as amended (the “Investment Advisers Act”), and it provides investment advisory services to investment companies (including mutual funds and exchange-traded funds (“ETFs”)) registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (“1940 Act”), both as an adviser and as a sub-adviser.

 

As of June 30, 2023, CBA serves as an adviser to its five proprietary products and sub-adviser to two additional products. As of June 30, 2023, the assets under management (“AUM”) for CBA, including advised and sub-advised funds, were in excess of $1.6 billion. The investment strategies for CBA include: ultra-short duration, low duration high yield, strategic income, responsible credit, and special purpose acquisition companies (“SPACs”). These strategies primarily employ investment grade and high yield corporate debt, as well as credit opportunities in event-driven securities, post reorganization investments, and stressed and distressed debt.

 

Willow Oak Operations

 

Beginning on August 12, 2022, the start of the post-Merger period (“Post-Merger”), the Company operates its Willow Oak operations business through its wholly owned subsidiaries, Willow Oak Asset Management, LLC (“Willow Oak”), Willow Oak Capital Management, LLC, Willow Oak Asset Management Affiliate Management Services, LLC (“Willow Oak AMS”) and Willow Oak Asset Management Fund Management Services, LLC (“Willow Oak FMS”).

 

 

Willow Oak is an asset management platform focused on partnering with independent asset managers throughout various phases of their firm’s lifecycle to provide comprehensive operational services that support the growth of their businesses.

Services to date include consulting, fund launching, investor relations and marketing, accounting and bookkeeping, compliance program monitoring, fund management, and business development support. The Company intends to actively expand its Willow Oak platform with additional offerings that enhance the value of the Willow Oak platform to independent managers across the investing community.

 

Internet Operations

 

Beginning Post-Merger, the Company operates its internet operations segment through Sitestar.net, its wholly owned subsidiary. Sitestar.net is an internet service provider that offers consumer and business-grade internet access, e-mail hosting and storage, wholesale managed modem services, web hosting, third-party software as a reseller, and various ancillary services. Sitestar.net provides services to customers in the United States and Canada. In addition, the Company owns a portfolio of domain names.

 

Other Operations

 

Beginning Post-Merger, the Company operates its other operations segment which includes nonrecurring or one-time strategic funding or similar activity and other corporate operations that are not considered to be one of the Company’s primary lines of business. Below are the primary activities comprising other operations. Additional investment activity that is not specifically mentioned below is included in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements.

 

Enterprise Diversified, Inc.

 

On June 12, 2023, through Enterprise Diversified, Inc., the Company invested $172,512 in a commodity-based limited partnership managed by a third-party general partner. The general partner is entitled to certain management fees and profit allocations, and the Company’s investment is subject to a two-year lockup from the date of the initial investment. As of the period ended June 30, 2023, this investment is carried at its reported net asset value (“NAV”) of $194,874.

 

eBuild Ventures, LLC

 

Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, the Company was transferred interests of eBuild Ventures, LLC (“eBuild”) on the Closing Date. eBuild acquires, or provides growth equity to, consumer product businesses in the digital or brick and mortar marketplaces.

 

Through eBuild, the Company also operates SPACinformer.com (“SPACinformer”), an electronic newsletter service focusing primarily on the aggregation and distribution of publicly available SPAC data, news, and analytics. During the period ended June 30, 2023, SPACinformer did not contribute material revenue or expenses to eBuild under the other operations segment.

 

On September 8, 2022, through eBuild, the Company made a capital contribution of $450,000, representing approximately a 10% ownership stake, in a start-up phase private company that operates in the consumer beverage product space. This investment is carried at its cost basis of $450,000 as of June 30, 2023.

 

On March 16, 2023, through eBuild, the Company made a capital contribution of $955,266, representing approximately a 3% ownership stake, in a private company that operates in the consumer products e-commerce space fulfilled by Amazon. This investment is carried at its cost basis of $955,266 as of June 30, 2023.

 

Financing Arrangement Regarding Triad Guaranty, Inc.

 

In August 2017, Enterprise Diversified entered into an agreement with several independent third parties to provide debtor-in-possession financing to an unaffiliated third party, Triad Guaranty, Inc., through Triad DIP Investors, LLC. Triad Guaranty, Inc. exited bankruptcy in April 2018, and Enterprise Diversified was subsequently issued an amended and restated promissory note. As of December 31, 2022, Enterprise Diversified reported $50,000 of promissory note receivables, measured at fair value, from Triad DIP Investors, LLC, and 847,847 aggregate shares of Triad Guaranty, Inc. common stock. As of June 30, 2023, the Company attributed no value to its shares of Triad Guaranty, Inc. common stock held due to the stocks’ general lack of marketability. See Note 6 for more information.

 

On January 9, 2023, Enterprise Diversified was issued a second amended and restated promissory note by Triad DIP Investors, LLC. Amended terms to the promissory note include an increase in the interest rate from 12% to 18% per annum, with unpaid historical accrued interest and future monthly accrued and unpaid interest to be capitalized and added to the then-outstanding principal balance on the last business day of each month. Further, the maturity date of the note was extended from December 31, 2022 to April 30, 2023, with early payoff permitted. Also during the three-month period ended March 31, 2023, Triad notified the Company that it was able to secure a new financing resource that was not previously available. On April 27, 2023, the Company received repayment of the full historical principal balance and accrued interest related to the second amended and restated promissory note receivable, which was greater than the Company’s historical recorded carrying amount of $50,000 as of December 31, 2022. Given these developments, the Company recognized $334,400 of other income related to the realized gain on the note receivable, which is included on the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations for the six-month period ended June 30, 2023.

 

 

Corporate Operations

 

Corporate operations include any revenue or expenses derived from the Company’s corporate office operations, as well as expenses related to public company reporting, the oversight of subsidiaries, and other items that affect the overall Company. Also included under corporate operations is investment activity earned through the reinvestment of corporate cash. Corporate investments are typically short-term, highly liquid investments, including vehicles such as mutual funds, ETFs, commercial paper, and corporate and municipal bonds. During the year ended December 31, 2022, through Enterprise Diversified under the other operations segment, the Company invested a total of $4,500,000 among three CrossingBridge mutual funds: the CrossingBridge Responsible Credit Fund, the CrossingBridge Ultra Short Duration Fund, and the CrossingBridge Low Duration High Yield Fund. During the three-month period ended June 30, 2023, through Enterprise Diversified under the other operations segment, the Company invested $1,200,000 into CrossingBridge’s newly acquired RiverPark Strategic Income Fund. The Company also routinely invests in the CrossingBridge Pre-Merger SPAC ETF through its other operations segment as well, which as of June 30, 2023, totaled $325,546. There are no liquidity restrictions in connection with these investments and any intercompany revenue and expenses have been eliminated in consolidation.

NOTE 2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

Basis of Presentation

 

The accompanying interim condensed consolidated financial statements are unaudited. These unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the rules and regulations of the SEC for interim financial information. Accordingly, they do not include all the information and footnotes required by U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) for complete financial statements. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been omitted pursuant to instructions, rules, and regulations prescribed by the SEC. We believe that the disclosures provided herein are adequate to make the information presented not misleading when these unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements are read in conjunction with the audited carve-out financial statements and notes previously filed in our Registration Statement on Form S-4 initially filed with the SEC on February 3, 2022, as subsequently amended and declared effective by the SEC on July 14, 2022. In the opinion of management, the unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all the adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) necessary to state fairly the Company’s financial position as of June 30, 2023 and the results of operations for the three- and six-month periods ended June 30, 2023 and 2022.

 

Following Financial Accounting Standards Board guidance related to the accounting for reverse acquisitions, CrossingBridge’s historical carve-out financial statements replaced the Company’s (as the successor registrant to Enterprise Diversified) historical financial statements. Accordingly, the capital structure, and per share amounts presented in CrossingBridge’s historical carve-out financial statements for the periods prior to the Closing Date have been recast to reflect the capital activity in accordance with the Merger Agreement. CrossingBridge’s historical carve-out financial statements for the three- and six-month periods ended June 30, 2022, reflecting the recasting, are included as part of the unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements presented in the Company’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the period ended June 30, 2023.

 

The CrossingBridge Advisors, LLC carve-out for activity prior to the Closing Date, including the three- and six-month periods ended June 30, 2022, is part of the Cohanzick financial statements. Prior to the Closing Date of the Mergers, CBA was a wholly owned subsidiary of Cohanzick. The historical financial carve-out statements of CBA reflect the assets, liabilities, revenue, and expenses directly attributable to CBA, as well as allocations deemed reasonable by management, to present the financial position, statements of operations, statements of changes in stockholders’ equity, and statements of cash flows of CBA on a stand-alone basis and do not necessarily reflect the financial position, statements of operations, statements of changes in stockholders’ equity, and statements of cash flows of CBA in the future or what they would have been had CBA been a separate, stand-alone entity during the periods presented that include activity prior to the Closing Date.

 

 

Use of Estimates

 

In accordance with GAAP the preparation of these condensed consolidated financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amount of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.

 

On an ongoing basis, management evaluates its estimates and judgments, including, among other items, those related to fair value of investments, revenue recognition, accrued expenses, financing operations, fair value of goodwill, fixed asset lives and impairment, lease right-of-use assets and impairment, deferred tax assets, liabilities and valuation allowance, other assets, the present value of lease liabilities, and contingencies and litigation. Management bases its estimates and judgments on historical experience and on various other factors that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying value of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions and conditions. These accounting policies are described at relevant sections in the notes to the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.

 

Concentration of Credit Risk

 

Financial instruments, which potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk, consist of cash, cash equivalents, accounts receivable, and notes receivable. The Company places its cash with high-quality financial institutions and, at times, exceeds the FDIC and CDIC insurance limit. The Company extends credit based on an evaluation of customers’ financial condition, generally without collateral. Exposure to losses on receivables is principally dependent on each customer’s financial condition. The Company monitors its exposure for credit losses and maintains allowances for anticipated losses.

 

Cash and Cash Equivalents

 

For purposes of the statements of cash flows, the Company defines cash equivalents as all highly liquid instruments purchased with a maturity and/or liquidation option of three months or less.

 

Investments

 

The Company holds various investments through its other operations segment. Investments are typically short-term, highly liquid investments, including vehicles such as: mutual funds, ETFs, commercial paper, and corporate and municipal bonds. Occasionally, the Company also invests in comparably less liquid, opportunistic investments. Investments held at fair value are remeasured to fair value on a recurring basis. Certain assets held through the other operations segment do not have a readily determinable value as these investments are either not publicly traded, do not have published sales records, or do not routinely make current financial information available. Assets that do not have a readily determinable value are remeasured when additional valuation inputs become observable. See Note 6 for more information.

 

Accounts Receivable

 

The Company’s CrossingBridge operations segment records receivable amounts for management fee shares earned on a monthly basis. Management fee shares are calculated and collected on a monthly basis. The Company historically has had no collection issues with management fee shares and the overall possibility for non-collection is extremely low. For these reasons, management has determined that it is not necessary to record an allowance against these receivables.

 

The Company’s Willow Oak operations segment records receivable amounts for management fee shares and fund management services revenue earned on a monthly basis. Management fee shares and fund management services fees are calculated and collected on either a monthly or quarterly basis as dictated by the respective partnership agreement. The Company historically has had no collection issues with management fee shares and fund management receivables and the overall possibility for non-collection is extremely low. For these reasons, management has determined that it is not necessary to record an allowance against these receivables.

 

The Company’s Willow Oak operations segment also records receivable amounts for performance fee shares earned on an annual basis. Performance fee shares are dependent upon exceeding specified relative or absolute investment return thresholds, which vary by affiliate relationship, and typically include annual measurement periods. The Company historically has had no collection issues with performance fee shares and the overall possibility for non-collection is extremely low. For these reasons, management has determined that it is not necessary to record an allowance against these receivables.

 

 

The Company grants credit in the form of unsecured accounts receivable to its customers through its internet operations segment. The estimate of the allowance for doubtful accounts, which is the recorded allowance for doubtful accounts and bad debt expense, is based on management’s assessment of current economic conditions and historical collection experience with each customer. Specific customer receivables are considered past due when they are outstanding beyond their contractual terms and are written off from the allowance for doubtful accounts when an account or invoice is individually determined to be uncollectible. The internet operations segment attempts to reduce the risk of non-collection by including a late-payment fee and a manual-processing-payment fee to customer accounts. Receivables more than 90 days past due are no longer included in accounts receivable and are turned over to a collection agency. Accounts receivable more than 30 days are considered past due.

 

As of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, allowances offsetting gross accounts receivable on the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets totaled $2,203 and $2,283, respectively. For the three- and six-month periods ended June 30, 2023, bad debt expenses (recoveries) totaled $(924) and $320, respectively. There were no comparable bad debt expenses for the three- and six-month periods ended June 30, 2022.

 

Notes Receivable

 

The Company does not routinely issue notes receivable in the ordinary course of business, but when a business opportunity arises, a subsidiary may issue a note if it appears to be favorable to the Company. Notes receivable are recorded at their principal amount and interest is accrued quarterly based on the applicable interest rate. The Company makes an assessment of the ultimate collectability of each note receivable on an annual basis based upon the financial condition of the borrower and adjusts the carrying value of the note receivable as deemed appropriate.

 

Property and Equipment

 

Property and equipment are recorded at cost. Expenditures for maintenance and repairs are charged to operations as incurred, while renewals and betterments are capitalized. Gains and losses on disposals are included in the results of operations. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method based on the estimated useful lives for each of the following asset classifications.

 

Furniture and fixtures (in years) 5
Equipment (in years) 7

 

The Company evaluates at each balance sheet date whether events and circumstances have occurred that indicate possible impairment. If there are indications of impairment, then the Company uses estimated future undiscounted cash flows of the related asset or asset grouping over the remaining life in measuring whether the assets are recoverable. In the event such cash flows are not expected to be sufficient to recover the recorded asset values, the assets are written down to their estimated fair value. Property and equipment to be disposed are reported at the lower of carrying amount or fair value of the asset less cost to sell.

 

Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets

 

Goodwill is the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of identifiable net assets acquired in business combinations accounted for under the acquisition method of accounting. The Company tests its goodwill annually as of December 31, or more often if events and circumstances indicate that those assets might not be recoverable. As of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the Company reported $737,869 of goodwill under the CrossingBridge operations segment. None of the Company’s recorded goodwill is tax deductible. The fair values assigned to tangible and intangible assets acquired as part of the Mergers are based on management’s estimates and assumptions. As of the period ended June 30, 2023, the Company considers the fair values of assets acquired and liabilities assumed to be final and no longer subject to potential adjustments.

 

Impairment testing of goodwill is required at the reporting-unit level (operating segment or one level below operating segment). The impairment test involves calculating the impairment of goodwill based solely on the excess of the carrying value of the reporting unit over the fair value of the reporting unit. Prior to performing the impairment test, the Company may make a qualitative assessment of the likelihood of goodwill impairment to determine whether a detailed quantitative analysis is required. The Company estimates the fair value of its reporting units using discounted expected future cash flows.

 

Intangible assets (other than goodwill) consist of customer relationships, trade names, investment management agreements, a non-compete, and domain names held amongst the CrossingBridge, Willow Oak and internet operations segments. When management determines that material intangible assets are acquired in conjunction with the purchase of a business or asset, the Company determines the fair values of the identifiable intangible assets by taking into account internal and external appraisals. Intangible assets determined to have definite lives are amortized over their estimated useful lives. The Company evaluates at each balance sheet date whether events and circumstances have occurred that indicate possible impairment. If there are indications of impairment, then the Company uses estimated future undiscounted cash flows of the related intangible asset or asset grouping over the remaining life in measuring whether the assets are recoverable. In the event such cash flows are not expected to be sufficient to recover the recorded asset values, the assets are written down to their estimated fair value. As of the periods ended June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the Company reported the following intangible assets, net of amortization and excluding goodwill, under the respective operating segment.

 

 

   June 30, 2023   December 31, 2022 
CrossingBridge  $2,278,558   $- 
Willow Oak   513,123    534,195 
Internet   669,373    689,731 
Intangible assets, net  $3,461,054   $1,223,926 

 

As of June 30, 2023, the Company owned 242 domain names.

 

As a result of the Company’s impairment testing of goodwill and other intangible assets on December 31, 2022, the Company determined that there was no impairment adjustment necessary.

 

Earn-Out Liability

 

The Company may enter into contingent payment arrangements in connection with the Company’s business combinations or asset purchases. In contingent payment arrangements, the Company agrees to pay transaction consideration to the seller based on future performance. The Company estimates the value of future payments of these potential future obligations at the time the business combination or asset purchase is consummated. The liabilities related to contingent payment arrangements are recorded under the earn-out liability line on the condensed consolidated balance sheets.

 

Contingent payment obligations related to asset purchases, if estimable and probable of payment, are initially recorded at their estimated value and reviewed for changes at every reporting. Any changes to the estimated value are recorded as an update of the initial acquisition cost of the asset with a corresponding change to the estimated contingent payment obligation on the condensed consolidated balance sheets. See Note 5 for more information on the Company’s asset acquisition of the RiverPark Strategic Income Fund.

 

W-1 Warrant and Redeemable Class B Common Stock

 

Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, the Company issued 1,800,000 Class B common shares that are mandatorily redeemable upon exercise of the W-1 Warrant, which provides the holder the ability to purchase 1,800,000 Class A Common Shares at certain terms. Management has determined that the W-1 Warrant represents an embedded equity-linked feature within the Class B common shares, and therefore is valued in conjunction with the Class B common shares. The value of the W-1 Warrant and Class B common shares is determined using a Black-Scholes pricing model and is classified as a long-term liability on the condensed consolidated balance sheets. The value is remeasured at each reporting date with the change in value flowing through the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations for the relevant period under the “mark-to-market” line item. See Note 4 for additional terms of the W-1 Warrant and Class B common shares.

 

Accrued Compensation

 

Accrued compensation represents performance-based bonuses that have not yet been paid. Bonuses are subjective and are based on numerous factors including, but not limited to, individual performance, the underlying funds’ performance, and profitability of the firm, as well as the consideration of future outlook. Accrued bonus amounts can fluctuate due to a future perceived change in any one or more of these factors. Additionally, differences between historical, current, and future personnel allocations could significantly impact the comparability of bonus expenses period over period.

 

Other Accrued Expenses

 

Other accrued expenses represent incurred but not-yet-paid expenses from payroll accruals, professional fees, and other accrued taxes.

 

Stock Compensation Expense

 

The board of directors of the Company adopted the ENDI Corp. 2022 Omnibus Equity Incentive Plan, dated December 19, 2022 (the “2022 Plan”), which was subsequently approved by the Company’s stockholders at the 2023 annual meeting of stockholders held on May 22, 2023 (“2023 Annual Meeting”). On February 28, 2023 (the “Grant Date”), the Company granted (i) restricted stock units, and (ii) restricted Class A common stock. Vested restricted stock unit awards will be settled by the Company in the form of cash or the issuance and delivery of shares of Company common stock in the year following the year the awards have become vested, but no later than March 15 of the following year. The Company has elected to ratably recognize the stock compensation expense associated with its outstanding equity awards over each award’s respective vesting period. Equity awards are valued on their respective Grant Date at fair market value, the then current trading value of the Company’s Class A Common Stock, and are not subject to future revaluation. On the Grant Date, the closing stock price of the Company’s Class A Common Stock was $4.35.

 

 

The table below further details the awards granted on February 28, 2023, and represents the number of outstanding awards and the relevant income statement impact as of and during the six-month period ended June 30, 2023. There were no comparable equity awards or income statement impacts as of and during the six-month period ended June 30, 2022.

Total outstanding awards   198,277      $39,700   $121,446 

 

Leases

 

The Company records right-of-use assets and lease liabilities arising from both financing and operating leases that contain terms extending longer than one year. The Company does not recognize right-of-use assets or lease liabilities for short-term leases (those with original terms of 12 months or less). In making its determinations, the Company combines lease and non-lease elements of its leases.

 

Concentration of Revenue

 

CBA is the adviser to five registered investment companies under the CrossingBridge Family of Funds. The advised funds are the CrossingBridge Low Duration High Yield Fund, CrossingBridge Ultra-Short Duration Fund, RiverPark Strategic Income Fund, CrossingBridge Responsible Credit Fund, and the CrossingBridge Pre-Merger SPAC ETF. The combined AUM for these advised funds was approximately $1.01 billion and $692 million as of June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively. CBA is also the sub-adviser to two 1940 Act registered mutual funds with AUM totaling approximately $615 million and $796 million as of June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively. Finally, CBA also earns revenue through a service agreement with a related party. See Note 3 for more information on the terms of the services agreement.

 

CBA fee revenues earned from advised funds, sub-advised funds, and services agreement for the three- and six-month periods ended June 30, 2023 and 2022 included in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations are detailed below.

 

   Three-Month
Period Ended June 30,
   Six-Month
Period Ended June 30,
 
CrossingBridge Operations Revenue  2023   2022   2023   2022 
                 
Advised fund fee revenue  $1,376,227   $1,159,926   $2,401,691   $2,159,184 
Sub-advised fund fee revenue   536,504    602,431    1,084,430    1,310,297 
Service fee revenue   129,747    -    283,611    - 
Total fee revenue  $2,042,478   $1,762,357   $3,769,732   $3,469,481 

 

If CBA were to lose a significant amount of AUM, the Company’s revenue would also decrease.

 

Revenue Recognition

 

CrossingBridge Operations Revenue

 

Management fee shares earned through the CrossingBridge operations segment are recorded on a monthly basis and are included in revenue on the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations. The Company has performed an assessment of its revenue contracts under the CrossingBridge operations segment and has not identified any contract assets or liabilities.

 

Willow Oak Operations Revenue

 

Management fee shares and fund management services fees earned through the Willow Oak operations segment are recorded on a monthly basis and are included in revenue on the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations. Performance fee shares are dependent upon exceeding specified relative or absolute investment return thresholds, which vary by affiliate relationship, and typically include annual measurement periods. Performance fee shares are recognized only when it is determined that there is no longer potential for significant reversal, such as when a fund’s performance exceeds a contractual threshold at the end of a specified measurement period. Consequently, a portion of the performance fee shares recognized may be partially or wholly related to services performed in prior periods.

 

 

Fund management services revenue earned through the Willow Oak operations segment is also generally recorded on a monthly basis, which is in line with the timing of when services are provided. Occasionally, fund management services revenue is earned through bespoke consulting contracts performed over the course of multiple periods. In this instance, Willow Oak will only record and collect revenue for services received through the end of each monthly or quarterly period, as appropriate.

 

The Company has performed an assessment of its revenue contracts under the Willow Oak operations segment and has not identified any contract assets or liabilities.

 

A summary of revenue earned through Willow Oak operations during the three- and six-month periods ended June 30, 2023 and included on the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations is detailed below:

 

                 
   Three-Month
Period Ended June 30,
   Six-Month
Period Ended June 30,
 
Willow Oak Operations Revenue  2023   2022   2023   2022 
                 
Management fee revenue  $15,535   $-   $30,703   $- 
Fund management services revenue   56,705    -    66,050    - 
Total revenue  $72,240   $-   $96,753   $- 

 

Internet Operations Revenue

 

The Company generates revenue through its internet operations segment from consumer and business-grade internet access, e-mail hosting and storage, wholesale managed modem services, e-mail and web hosting, third-party software as a reseller, and various ancillary services in the United States and Canada. Services include narrow-band (dial-up and ISDN) and broadband services (DSL, fiber-optic, and wireless), web hosting, and additional related services to consumers and businesses. Customers may also subscribe to web hosting plans to include email access and storage. Customer contracts through the internet operations segment can be structured as monthly or annual contracts. Under annual contracts, the subscriber pays a one-time annual fee, which is recognized as revenue ratably over the life of the contract. Under monthly contracts, the subscriber is billed monthly and revenue is recognized for the period to which the service relates. Domain name registration revenue is recognized at the point of registration. Sales of hardware are recognized as revenue upon delivery and acceptance of the product by the customer. Sales are adjusted for any returns or allowances. Management has concluded that the nature of the performance obligation is cyclical with a very low possibility for nonperformance. Contract liabilities (deferred revenue) are recognized in the amount of collections received in advance of services to be performed. No contract assets are recognized or incurred.

 

Deferred Revenue

 

Deferred revenue represents collections from customers in advance of internet services to be performed. Revenue is recognized in the period service is provided. Total deferred revenue recorded under the internet operations segment as of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022 was $167,500 and $156,859, respectively. During the three- and six-month periods ended June 30, 2023, $31,344 and $102,088 of revenue was recognized from prior-year contract liabilities (deferred revenue), respectively. The internet operations segment did not have comparable activity for the three- and six-month periods ended June 30, 2022.

 

Income Taxes

 

Income taxes for ENDI Corp. are accounted for under the asset and liability method, which requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax benefits or consequences of events that have been included in the condensed consolidated financial statements. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined on the basis of the differences between the financial statement and tax basis of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to reverse. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance when, in the opinion of management, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are adjusted for the effects of changes in tax laws and rates on the date of enactment, inclusive of the recent tax reform act. ENDI Corp. filed its first tax return for the year ended December 31, 2021, which is open to potential examination by the Internal Revenue Service for three years.

 

 

As of June 30, 2023, the Company reported $1,334,532 of net deferred tax assets on the condensed consolidated balance sheets. These net deferred tax assets consist primarily of historic net operating losses that were acquired by the Company as part of the Business Combination, as well as post-closing activity which includes certain deferred tax assets and liabilities that were not previously recognized when CrossingBridge was a nontaxable entity. In accordance with Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (“Section 382”), the Company has performed an analysis to determine if a change of control occurred as a result of the Business Combination and has determined that a change of control is more likely than not to have occurred on August 11, 2022. Under Section 382, net operating loss carryforwards that arose prior to the ownership change will have limited availability to offset taxable income arising in future periods following the ownership change. Section 382 imposes multiple separate and distinct limits on the utilization of pre-change of control net operating losses based on the fair market value of the Company immediately prior to the change of control, as well as certain activities that may or may not occur during the 60 months immediately following the change of control. While the majority of the Company’s historic net operating losses will be limited to an annual threshold, the majority of historic net operating losses also will not be subject to future expiration. As of the period ended June 30, 2023, the Company has not provided a valuation allowance against its net operating losses as the Company expects to be able to use its net operating losses in full to offset future taxable income generated by the Company.

 

In as much as CBA had a single member prior to the Closing Date, it had historically been treated as a disregarded entity for income tax purposes. Consequently, Federal and state income taxes have not been provided for periods prior to the Closing Date, including the six-month period ended June 30, 2022, as its single member was taxed directly on CBA’s earnings. CBA activity subsequent to the Closing Date was consolidated within ENDI Corp.’s tax return that will be filed for the year ended December 31, 2022 and was included in the income tax provision for the year ended December 31, 2022.

 

During the three- and six-month periods ended June 30, 2023, the Company reported $208,877 and $241,110 of income tax expenses, respectively. As noted above, due to CBA’s disregarded status for periods prior to the Closing Date, no comparable income tax expenses existed for the three- and six-month periods ended June 30, 2022.

 

Income (Loss) Per Share

 

Basic income (loss) per share is computed by dividing net income (loss) available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Included in the basic income (loss) per share for the three- and six-month periods ended June 30, 2023, in addition to the number of shares of common stock outstanding, are 15,750 shares underlying common stock equity incentives awarded pursuant to the Company’s 2022 Plan which vested immediately in full upon approval by the Company’s stockholders of the 2022 Plan at the 2023 Annual Meeting. These shares represent equity awards in the form of restricted stock units.

 

In periods of net loss, diluted loss per share is calculated similarly to basic loss per share because the impact of all potentially dilutive common shares is anti-dilutive. In periods of net income, diluted earnings per share is computed using the more dilutive of the “two-class method” or the “treasury method.” Dilutive earnings per share under the “two-class method” is calculated by dividing net income available to common stockholders as adjusted for the participating securities, by the weighted-average number of shares outstanding plus the dilutive impact of all other potentially dilutive common shares, consisting primarily of common shares underlying the Class W-1 and W-2 Warrants issued pursuant to the Merger Agreement. Dilutive earnings per share under the “treasury method” is calculated by dividing net income available to common stockholders by the weighted-average number of shares outstanding plus the dilutive impact of all potentially dilutive common shares, consisting primarily of common shares underlying the Class W-1 and W-2 Warrants issued pursuant to the Merger Agreement.

 

The number of potentially dilutive shares for the period ended June 30, 2023, consisting of the Class W-1 and W-2 Warrants issued pursuant to the Merger Agreement, was 2,050,000. There were no potentially dilutive shares for the period ended June 30, 2022. None of the potentially dilutive securities had a dilutive impact during the three- and six-month periods ended June 30, 2023.

 

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

 

In June 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2016-13, “Financial Instruments - Credit Losses” (Topic 326). The guidance eliminates the probable initial recognition threshold that was previously required prior to recognizing a credit loss on financial instruments. The credit loss estimate should now reflect an entity’s current estimate of all future expected credit losses. Under the previous guidance, an entity only considered past events and current conditions. In April 2019, the FASB further clarified the scope of the credit losses standard and addressed issues related to accrued interest receivable balances, recoveries, variable interest rates, and prepayments. In May 2019, the FASB issued further guidance to provide entities with an option to irrevocably elect the fair value option applied on an instrument-by-instrument basis for eligible financial instruments. In November 2019, the FASB issued further guidance on expected recoveries for purchased financial assets with credit deterioration, and transition refiled for troubled debt restructurings, disclosures related to accrued interest receivables, and financial assets secured by collateral maintenance provisions. The guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The adoption of certain amendments of this guidance must be applied on a modified retrospective basis and the adoption of the remaining amendments must be applied on a prospective basis. The Company currently expects that the adoption of this guidance may change the way it assesses the collectability of its receivables and recoverability of other financial instruments. The Company adopted this guidance as of January 1, 2023. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.

 

 

In August 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-06, “Debt - Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging - Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40)”. This update simplifies the accounting for convertible debt and convertible preferred stock by removing the requirements to separately present certain conversion features in equity. In addition, the amendments in the ASU also simplify the guidance in ASC 815-40, Derivatives and Hedging: Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity, by removing certain criteria that must be satisfied in order to classify a contract as equity. Finally, the amendments revise the guidance on calculating earnings per share, requiring use of the if-converted method for all convertible instruments and rescinding an entity’s ability to rebut the presumption of share settlement for instruments that may be settled in cash or other assets. This new guidance is required to be adopted by public entities in years beginning after December 15, 2023, with early adoption permitted. The Company adopted this guidance as of January 1, 2022. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.

 

The Company does not believe that any other recently issued effective standards, or standards issued but not yet effective, if adopted, would have a material effect on the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements.

CrossingBridge Advisors, LLC

 

RiverPark Strategic Income Fund Asset Acquisition

 

On November 18, 2022, CBA entered into a Purchase and Assignment and Assumption Agreement, as amended on December 28, 2022 (as amended, the “RiverPark Agreement”), with RiverPark Advisors, LLC and Cohanzick, the Company’s majority stockholder and historical sole member of CBA that is majority owned by the Company’s CEO and director, David Sherman, pursuant to which RiverPark Advisors, LLC intended to sell to CBA certain assets and CBA intended to assume certain liabilities, including certain rights and responsibilities under the RiverPark Advisory Agreement (as defined herein) and the RiverPark Expense Limitation Agreement (as defined herein) relating to the provision of investment advisory services for the mutual fund known as RiverPark Strategic Income Fund (the “RiverPark Fund”), subject to certain terms and conditions set forth in the agreement.

 

Pursuant to the RiverPark Agreement, no consideration was paid upon closing; however, CBA shall pay an amount approximately equal to 50% of RiverPark Fund’s management fees (as set forth in RiverPark Fund’s prospectus) to RiverPark (the prior adviser) and Cohanzick (the prior sub-adviser) for a period of three years after closing, and pay an amount approximately equal to 20% of the RiverPark Fund’s management fees in the fourth and fifth years after closing as set forth in the RiverPark Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, certain of the amounts payable based on the RiverPark Fund’s management fees pursuant to the RiverPark Agreement during the first three years after the closing shall be capped such that they are less than $1.3 million in the aggregate.

 

In connection with the RiverPark Agreement, Cohanzick and CBA entered into an agreement which prohibits Cohanzick from competing with a substantially similar strategic income strategy as the RiverPark Fund as an adviser or sub-adviser to a fund registered under the 1940 Act or any Undertakings for the Collective Investment in Transferable Securities products.

 

During the three- and six-month periods ended June 30, 2023, payments made by CBA to Cohanzick in accordance with the RiverPark Agreement totaled $16,588. See Note 5 for more information.

 

Historical Shared Expenses Prior to Consummation of the Merger

 

The Company, through CrossingBridge, and Cohanzick, shared certain staff, office facilities, and administrative services. The parties involved had agreed to allocate these expenses based on the AUM of each party for activity occurring prior to the consummation of the Merger. These allocated expenses are reported under the CrossingBridge operations segment in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations in the categories for which the utilization of services relates. A summary of the expenses allocated from Cohanzick to CBA for the three- and six-month periods ended June 30, 2022 is noted below. There is no comparable activity for the three- and six-month periods ended June 30, 2023, because Post-Merger there were no CBA expenses allocated in this manner.

Other allocated expenses   -    98,225    -    225,420 
Total allocated expenses  $-   $886,059   $-   $1,769,897 

 

There was no due to affiliate balance between CBA and Cohanzick reported on the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheets as of the periods ended June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022. Any due to affiliate balance is due 13 months after the calendar year-end upon 60 days’ written notice. If no notice is given, the date payment is due would extend for another 12 months with 0% interest. Repayments made during the three- and six-month periods ended June 30, 2022 by CBA to Cohanzick, for allocated expenses recorded during the year ended December 31, 2021, totaled $1,094,895 and $2,851,229, respectively.

 

 

Services Agreement with Cohanzick

 

In connection with the closing of the Merger, CrossingBridge entered into a Services Agreement (the “Services Agreement”) with Cohanzick pursuant to which CrossingBridge will make available to Cohanzick certain of its employees to provide investment advisory, portfolio management and other services to Cohanzick and, through Cohanzick, to Cohanzick’s clients. Any such individuals will be subject to the oversight and control of Cohanzick, and any services so provided to Cohanzick or a client of Cohanzick will be provided by such CBA employees in the capacity of a supervised person of Cohanzick. Cohanzick additionally may use the systems of CBA or its affiliates for its daily operations; provided that appropriate policies, procedures, and other safeguards are established to assure that (a) the books and records of each of CBA and Cohanzick are created and maintained in a manner so as to be clearly separate and distinct from those of the other person and the clients of such person, and (b) confidential client and/or other material non-public information relating to the investment advisory activities of CBA or Cohanzick, as applicable, or other proprietary information regarding either such person or its clients, is safeguarded and maintained for the benefit of such person. As consideration for its services, Cohanzick will pay CBA a quarterly fee equal to 0.05% per annum of the monthly weighted average AUM during such quarter with respect to all clients for which Cohanzick has full investment discretion. Cohanzick and CrossingBridge will also split the payment of certain costs of other systems which use is shared between Cohanzick and CrossingBridge. The initial term of the agreement is one year from the Closing Date. The Services Agreement shall continue until terminated pursuant to its terms. Specifically, after the one year anniversary of the execution of such agreement, either party may terminate the Services Agreement upon at least 120 days’ prior written notice to the other party. Notwithstanding the foregoing, either party may terminate the Services Agreement at any time upon written notice following a material breach of the Services Agreement by other party that remains uncured for at least 30 days after the other party receives notice of, or otherwise reasonably should have been aware of, the material breach.

 

During the three- and six-month periods ended June 30, 2023, CBA reported $44,567 and $89,427 of operating expenses pursuant to the Services Agreement with Cohanzick, respectively.

 

During the three- and six-month periods ended June 30, 2023, CBA earned $129,747 and $283,611 of revenue from the Services Agreement with Cohanzick, respectively. No comparable revenue was earned during the three- and six-month periods ended June 30, 2022 as the Services Agreement was not in force until the Closing Date. As of June 30, 2023, a receivable of $129,747 related to the Services Agreement revenue is included in accounts receivable on the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets. The Services Agreement receivable amount recorded of the year ended December 31, 2022, totaling $160,330, was subsequently collected in full.

 

License Agreement between CBA and Cohanzick

 

Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, the Company, through CBA and Cohanzick entered into a license agreement. The license agreement provides CBA with the right to use and occupy certain office space originally leased by Cohanzick from a third-party landlord pursuant to a lease agreement dated November 23, 2018. The initial term of the license agreement runs through the first anniversary of the commencement date of the license agreement and will automatically renew for subsequent one-year terms unless otherwise earlier terminated pursuant to the terms thereof. Pursuant to the license agreement, CBA shall pay Cohanzick a fee equal to Licensee’s Share (as defined herein) of the following charges: a monthly base rental and increases in certain taxes and operating expenses. “Licensee’s Share” means for a calendar month that occurs in whole or in part during the term, the fraction, expressed as a percentage, the numerator of which is the number of CBA employees that occupied the licensed premises as of the first business day of such calendar month, and the denominator of which is the number of Cohanzick and CBA employees that occupied the premises as of the first business day of such calendar month, as reasonably determined by Cohanzick.

 

During the three- and six-month periods ended June 30, 2023, CBA paid $11,723 and $33,537, respectively, of rental expenses, including utilities, per the license agreement with Cohanzick. No comparable expenses were paid during the three- and six-month periods ended June 30, 2022 as the license agreement with Cohanzick was not in force until the Closing Date.

 

Enterprise Diversified, Inc.

 

Due from Affiliate

 

Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, Enterprise Diversified agreed to reimburse Cohanzick for certain fees and expenses, comprising primarily of legal and accounting fees incurred as part of the share registration process. These fees were initially recorded and reimbursed for a total of $594,152 during the year ended December 31, 2022. Upon further analysis by both parties, it was determined that only $470,329 of these fees were subject to reimbursement in accordance with the Merger Agreement. The initial over payment of these fees, totaling $123,823, has been included within the due from affiliate amount on the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets as of December 31, 2022. During the six-month period ended June 30, 2023, this over payment was repaid in full and the corresponding due from affiliate amount has been settled.

MERGER AND BUSINESS COMBINATION WITH CROSSINGBRIDGE ADVISORS, LLC AND ENTERPRISE DIVERSIFIED, INC

NOTE 4. MERGER AND BUSINESS COMBINATION WITH CROSSINGBRIDGE ADVISORS, LLC AND ENTERPRISE DIVERSIFIED, INC.

 

Overview

 

As previously announced on December 29, 2021, ENDI entered into the Merger Agreement with Enterprise Diversified, Zelda Merger Sub 1, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“First Merger Sub”), Zelda Merger Sub 2, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Second Merger Sub”), CrossingBridge and Cohanzick.

 

Pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement, Enterprise Diversified merged with First Merger Sub, a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, with Enterprise Diversified being the surviving entity, and CrossingBridge merged with Second Merger Sub, a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, with CrossingBridge being the surviving entity. In connection with the Mergers, each share of common stock of Enterprise Diversified was converted into the right to receive one share of Class A common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, of the Company (the “Class A Common Shares” or the “Class A Common Stock”), and Cohanzick, as the sole member of CrossingBridge, received 2,400,000 Class A Common Shares and 1,800,000 shares of Class B common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, of the Company (the “Class B Common Shares” or the “Class B Common Stock”, and together with the Class A Common Shares, the “Common Shares”), a Class W-1 Warrant to purchase 1,800,000 Class A Common Shares (“Class W-1 Warrant” or “W-1 Warrant”) and a Class W-2 Warrant to purchase 250,000 Class A Common Shares (“Class W-2 Warrant” or “W-2 Warrant”). The Class A Common Shares and Class B Common Shares are identical other than the Class B Common Shares: (i) have the right to designate directors (as described below); (ii) shall not be entitled to participate in earnings, dividends or other distributions with respect to the Class A Common Shares; and (iii) shall not receive any assets of the Company in the event of a liquidation and (iv) shall be subject to redemption in certain circumstances. The Class W-1 Warrant and the Class W-2 Warrant issued to Cohanzick may be exercised in whole or in part at any time prior to the date that is five years after the Closing Date, at an exercise price of $8.00 per Class A Common Share, subject to certain adjustments. Each of the warrants may also be exercised on a “cashless” basis at any time at the election of the holder and if not fully exercised prior to the expiration date of the warrant, shall be automatically exercised on a “cashless” basis. In addition, pursuant to the terms of a Securities Purchase Agreement dated as of August 18, 2022, certain designees of Cohanzick and certain officers, directors and employees of Enterprise Diversified purchased an aggregate of 405,000 Class A Common Shares at a price of $5.369 per share.

 

Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, Enterprise Diversified agreed to reimburse Cohanzick certain fees and expenses, which amount to $470,329. These fees were reimbursed during the year ended December 31, 2022 and were reported on the consolidated statements of operations as transaction expenses for the year ended December 31, 2022. On the Closing Date, the Company also entered into a registration rights agreement, (as amended, the “Registration Rights Agreement” or “RRA”), with certain stockholders that are deemed to be affiliates of ENDI immediately following the closing of the Mergers, pursuant to which such stockholders’ Class A Common Shares, including the Class A Common Shares underlying any warrants issued in connection with the Mergers, will be registered for resale on a registration statement to be filed by the Company with the SEC under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.

 

The holders of the Class B Common Stock, voting together as a single class, have the right to designate a number of directors of the Company’s board of directors (rounded up to the nearest whole number) equal to the percentage of the Company’s common shares beneficially owned by the holders of Class B Common Stock and their affiliates at the time of such designation, provided however, that for purposes of this designation right, the holders of the Company’s Class B Common Stock, voting together as a single class, shall have the right to designate not more than a majority of the members of the Company’s board of directors then in office, and, provided further that so long as holders of Class B Common Stock and their affiliates beneficially own at least 5.0% of the total outstanding common shares of the Company, holders of Class B Common Stock, voting together as a single class, shall have the right to designate at least one director. Any director elected to the Company’s board of directors pursuant to the above provisions of the Company’s Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation (the “Certificate of Incorporation”) will be referred to as a “Class B Director” and may only be removed by the holders of a majority of the Class B Common Stock.

 

On the Closing Date, the Company also entered into a stockholder agreement (the “Stockholder Agreement”) with Cohanzick pursuant to which from and after the date that the holders of Class B Common Shares are no longer entitled to elect at least one director to our board of directors pursuant to the Certificate of Incorporation as described above, the following provisions apply: so long as David Sherman, Cohanzick and any of their successors or assigns (collectively, the “Principal Stockholder”) and their Affiliates (as defined in the Stockholder Agreement) beneficially own at least 5% of the Company’s outstanding shares, the Principal Stockholder has the right to designate a number of the Company’s directors of the Company’s board of directors (rounded up to the nearest whole number) equal to the percentage of the Company’s common shares beneficially owned by the Principal Stockholder and its Affiliates at the time of such designation, provided however that for purposes of this designation right, the Principal Stockholder and its Affiliates shall have the right to designate not more than a majority of the members of the Company’s board of directors then in office and, provided further, that so long as the Principal Stockholder and its Affiliates beneficially owns at least 5% of the total outstanding common shares of the Company, its shall have the right to designate at least one director.

 

 

On the Closing Date, the Company also entered into a voting agreement (the “Voting Agreement”) with Cohanzick and Steven Kiel and Arquitos Capital Offshore Master, Ltd., in their capacity as the voting party (the “Voting Party”), pursuant to which the Voting Party shall vote all of its securities of the Company entitled to vote in the election of the Company’s directors that such Voting Party or its affiliates own (collectively, the “Voting Shares”) to elect or maintain in office the directors designated by Cohanzick (the “Cohanzick Member Designees”). The Voting Agreement will terminate automatically on the earlier of the date that (i) the holders of the Company’s Class B Common Stock or Cohanzick’s right to designate the Cohanzick Member Designees is terminated or expires for any reason, (ii) Steven Kiel is no longer a member of the Company’s board of directors and (iii) the Voting Party and its affiliates cease to hold any Voting Shares. The Voting Agreement will also terminate automatically with respect to any Voting Shares no longer held by the Voting Party or its affiliates.

 

The Business Combination is accounted for as a reverse acquisition using the acquisition method of accounting in accordance with ASC 805, Business Combinations, with CrossingBridge representing the accounting acquiror. Because the Merger qualifies as a reverse acquisition, and given that CrossingBridge was a private company at the time of the Merger and therefore its value was not readily determinable, the fair value of the Merger consideration was deemed to be equal to the fair value of Enterprise Diversified at the Closing Date. As part of the purchase price allocation, the Company engaged an independent third-party valuation consultant. In determining the total consideration for the ASC 805 analysis, the valuation consultant utilized the volume weighted average price of Enterprise Diversified’s stock from the Merger announcement date, December 30, 2021, through the Closing Date. In doing so, the valuation consultant considered that the Company’s stock was very thinly traded and the public float was only approximately 18.0% of total shares. The consultant also noted the book value of equity was approximately $15.1 million, and composed primarily of short-term assets and liabilities, while the market capitalization as of the Closing Date was approximately $14.5 million based on the closing price of $5.49. As a result of these considerations, the valuation consultant determined that the purchase consideration was estimated to be $18,637,576.

 

Purchase Price Allocation

 

The following table summarizes the fair values of assets acquired and liabilities assumed as of the Closing Date:

 

Cash  $15,873,598 
Accounts receivable, net   35,027 
Note receivable   50,000 
Prepaid expenses   51,933 
Other current assets   119,785 
Fixed assets   3,431 
Goodwill   737,869 
Intangible assets   1,255,000 
Deferred tax assets, net   1,249,556 
Accounts payable   (20,506)
Accrued expenses   (513,922)
Deferred revenue   (203,547)
Other current liabilities   (648)
Total consideration  $18,637,576 

 

The excess of purchase consideration over the fair value of net tangible and intangible assets acquired was recorded as goodwill, which is primarily attributed to the future economic benefits arising from other assets acquired that could not be individually identified and separately recognized including expected synergies and the assembled workforce in place. The fair values assigned to tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed are based on management’s estimates and assumptions and may be subject to change as additional information is received. The primary areas where provisional amounts have been used relate to the fair values of intangible assets acquired, certain tangible assets and liabilities acquired, note receivable, deferred income tax assets and liabilities, and residual goodwill.

 

During the Post-Merger period, the Company recorded three measurement period adjustments to the preliminary recorded values assigned to certain Company assets acquired as of the Closing Date. The fair value assigned to the Company’s note receivable was reduced from $300,000 to $50,000, the fair value assigned to the Company’s domain names was reduced from $235,000 to $175,000, and the fair value assigned to the Company’s net deferred tax assets was increased from $0 to $1,249,556. The net changes in fair value, totaling an increase of $939,556, proportionally decreased the balance of residual goodwill from $1,677,425 to $737,869 as of December 31, 2022. These adjustments were the product of expanded valuation analyses performed by management and were incorporated within the values noted in the table above. As of the period ended June 30, 2023, the Company considers the fair values of assets acquired and liabilities assumed to be final and no longer subject to potential adjustments.

 

While the total amount of residual goodwill remains preliminary, the Company has assigned the residual goodwill based on an internal analysis that compared the anticipated future economic benefit to be generated by each operating segment with the Post-Merger carrying value of the respective operating segment. By way of this analysis, management has allocated the balance of the residual goodwill to the CrossingBridge operations segment as of December 31, 2022.

 

 

The following table sets forth the components of identifiable intangible assets acquired and their estimated useful lives as of the Closing Date.

 

Intangible Assets  Estimated
Fair Value
   Estimated Useful
Life (in Years)
 
Customer relationships - Sitestar.net  $490,000    14 
Customer relationships - Willow Oak  $510,000    14 
Trade Name - Sitestar.net  $40,000    7 
Trade Name - Willow Oak  $40,000    7 
Internet Domains - Sitestar.net  $175,000    Indefinite 

 

The estimated fair values of (i) the customer relationships were determined using the multi-period excess earnings method, (ii) the trade names were determined using the relief from royalty income approach, and (iii) the internet domain names were estimated using a market approach. The approaches used to estimate the fair values use significant unobservable inputs including revenue and cash flow forecasts, customer attrition rates, and appropriate discount rates.

RIVERPARK STRATEGIC INCOME FUND ASSET ACQUISITION

NOTE 5. RIVERPARK STRATEGIC INCOME FUND ASSET ACQUISITION

 

As discussed in Note 3, on November 18, 2022, CBA, entered into the RiverPark Agreement with RiverPark Advisors, LLC and Cohanzick pursuant to which RiverPark Advisors, LLC intended to sell to CBA certain assets and CBA intended to assume certain liabilities, including certain rights and responsibilities under the RiverPark Advisory Agreement (as defined herein) and the RiverPark Expense Limitation Agreement (as defined herein) relating to the provision of investment advisory services for the mutual fund known as the RiverPark Fund, subject to certain terms and conditions set forth in the agreement.

 

On May 10, 2023, the board of trustees of the RiverPark Fund and holders of a majority of the outstanding voting securities of RiverPark Fund approved the RiverPark Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby. On May 12, 2023 (the “Closing Date”), as contemplated by the RiverPark Agreement, CBA assumed (i) the advisory services role under that certain Amended and Restated Investment Advisory Agreement (the “RiverPark Advisory Agreement”) dated February 14, 2012 by and between RiverPark and RiverPark Funds Trust (“RiverPark Trust”) pursuant to which RiverPark provided investment advisory services to the RiverPark Fund and (ii) the Operating Expense Limitation Agreement (“RiverPark Expense Limitation Agreement”) dated as of July 1, 2019 by and between RiverPark and RiverPark Trust. Furthermore, pursuant to the RiverPark Agreement, on the Closing Date, the parties to that certain Sub-Advisory Agreement dated as of August 1, 2012 by and among RiverPark, Cohanzick and the RiverPark Trust, on behalf of the RiverPark Fund, have terminated such agreement and made CrossingBridge a party to the RiverPark Expense Limitation Agreement. Furthermore, in connection with the RiverPark Agreement, Cohanzick and CBA entered into an agreement which prohibits Cohanzick from competing with a substantially similar strategic income strategy as the RiverPark Fund as an adviser or sub-adviser to a fund registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, or any Undertakings for the Collective Investment in Transferable Securities products.

 

 

Pursuant to the RiverPark Agreement, no consideration was paid upon closing; however, CBA shall pay an amount approximately equal to 50% of RiverPark Fund’s management fees (as set forth in RiverPark Fund’s prospectus) to RiverPark (the prior adviser) and Cohanzick (the prior sub-adviser) for a period of three years after closing, and pay an amount approximately equal to 20% of the RiverPark Fund’s management fees in the fourth and fifth years after closing as set forth in the RiverPark Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, certain of the amounts payable based on the RiverPark Fund’s management fees pursuant to the RiverPark Agreement during the first three years after the closing shall be capped such that they are less than $1.3 million in the aggregate. This liability is reported on the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheets under earn-out liability.

 

The RiverPark Fund transaction is classified as an asset acquisition, and the costs of the acquisition were allocated to the assets acquired on the basis of their relative fair values. Assets acquired primarily consisted of customer relationships, investment contracts, and a noncompete agreement.

 

By applying the guidance in ASC 323-10-25-2A and ASC 323-10-25-2B to an asset acquisition, as the fair value of the group of assets exceeds the initial consideration, the consideration is recorded as the lesser of the maximum amount of contingent consideration or the excess of the fair value of the net assets acquired over the initial consideration paid. As the initial consideration of the transaction was $0 and there is no maximum amount to the contingent consideration, the later scenario is applied. The purchase price of $2,341,600 consisted of a combination of $2,141,612 in variable cash payments and $199,988 of acquisition costs incurred by the Company in connection with the transaction. Variable cash payments are based on a percentage of the RiverPark Fund net advisory fees earned and daily average assets under management of the fund. Payments are to be made monthly over the next five years.

 

The acquisition-date fair value of the consideration transferred and the allocation of cost to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed at the acquisition date are as follows:

 

 SCHEDULE OF CONSIDERATION TRANSFERRED AND THE ASSETS ACQUIRED AND LIABILITIES ASSUMED

Acquisition-date fair value of consideration transferred:    
Variable cash payments  $2,141,612 
Transaction costs   199,988 
Total purchase price  $2,341,600 
      
Allocation of cost to assets acquired:     
Customer relationships  $2,294,768 
Investment management agreements   23,416 
Noncompete agreement   23,416 
Total cost of assets acquired  $2,341,600

FAIR VALUE OF ASSETS AND LIABILITIES

NOTE 6. FAIR VALUE OF ASSETS AND LIABILITIES

 

GAAP defines fair value as the amount that would be received from the sale of an asset or paid for the transfer of a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date and establishes a hierarchy for disclosing assets and liabilities measured at fair value based on the inputs used to value them. The fair value hierarchy maximizes the use of observable inputs and minimizes the use of unobservable inputs. Observable inputs are based on market pricing data obtained from sources independent of the Company. Unobservable inputs reflect management’s judgment about the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. The fair value hierarchy includes three levels based on the objectivity of the inputs as follows:

 

  Level I - inputs are quoted prices in active markets as of the measurement date for identical assets and liabilities that the Company has the ability to access. This category includes exchange-traded mutual funds and equity securities;
     
  Level II - inputs are inputs other than quoted prices included in Level I that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. Level II inputs include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, and inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability, such as interest rates or yield curves, that are observable at commonly quoted intervals; this category includes mortgage-backed securities, asset-backed securities, corporate debt securities, certificates of deposit, commercial paper, U.S. agency and municipal debt securities, U.S. Treasury securities, and derivative contracts; and
     
  Level III - inputs are unobservable inputs for the asset or liability and include situations where there is little, if any, market activity for the asset or liability. The measurements are highly subjective.

 

The availability of observable inputs can vary and is affected by a variety of factors. 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 in determining fair value is the greatest for assets or liabilities categorized in Level III.

 

In certain cases, the inputs used to measure fair value may fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy. In such cases, an investment level within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The Company’s assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement in its entirety requires judgment and considers factors specific to the investment.

 

 

The following table presents information about the Company’s assets measured at fair value as of the periods ended June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022.

Assets and Liabilities Measured at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis

 

As discussed previously, through Enterprise Diversified, the Company holds Level I investments, among which include shares of CrossingBridge Ultra-Short Duration Fund, CrossingBridge Low Duration High Yield Fund, RiverPark Strategic Income Fund, and CrossingBridge Responsible Credit Fund, which are SEC registered mutual funds for which CBA is the adviser, as well as shares of CrossingBridge Pre-Merger SPAC ETF, which is an ETF also advised by CBA. As of June 30, 2023, Level I investments held by the Company in investment products advised by CBA totaled $6,203,265. The Company’s remaining Level I investments held as of June 30, 2023 includes marketable U.S. fixed income and equity securities. There are no liquidity restrictions in connection with these investments held through Enterprise Diversified.

 

The Company’s investment in the commodity-based limited partnership is measured using NAV as the practical expedient and is exempt from the fair value hierarchy. The NAV is based on the value of the underlying assets owned by the fund, minus its liabilities, and allocated based on total fund contributions. The Company’s investment in this limited partnership is remeasured to fair value on a recurring basis and realized and unrealized gains and losses are recognized as investment income in the period of adjustment. As of the period ended June 30, 2023, the Company carried its investment in the commodity-based limited partnership at $194,874. During the three- and six-month periods ended June 30, 2023, the Company recognized $22,362 of net investment income related to this investment. No comparable activity exists for the three- and six-month periods ended June 30, 2022.

 

As discussed previously, pursuant to the Merger Agreement, the Company issued 1,800,000 Class B common shares that are mandatorily redeemable upon exercise of the W-1 Warrant. Management has determined that the W-1 Warrant represents an embedded equity-linked feature within the Class B common shares, and therefore is valued in conjunction with the Class B common shares as a long-term liability on the condensed consolidated balance sheets. The value of the W-1 Warrant and Class B common shares is determined using a Black-Scholes pricing model, resulting in a Level III classification. The pricing model considers a variety of inputs at each measurement date including, but not exclusively, the Company’s closing stock price, the Company’s estimated equity volatility over the remaining warrant term, the warrant exercise price, the Company’s annual rate of dividends, the bond equivalent yield, and remaining term of the W-1 Warrant. Additionally, a discount is applied based on an analysis of the underlying marketability of the Company’s Class A common stock with respect to Rule 144 restrictions. This value is remeasured at each reporting date with the change in value flowing through the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations for the relevant period. The table below represents the relevant inputs used in the value determination as of June 30, 2023 and change in value from the Closing Date to June 30, 2023.

Assets and Liabilities Measured at Fair Value on a Non-Recurring Basis

 

The Company analyzes its intangible assets — goodwill, customer relationships, trade names, investment management agreements, non-compete agreement, and domain names — on an annual basis or more often if events or changes in circumstances indicate potential impairments. No impairments were recorded during the three- and six-month periods ended June 30, 2023. No comparable analysis was performed during the three- and six-month periods ended June 30, 2022 as the Company did not hold any intangible assets prior to the Closing Date.

 

As discussed previously, the Company entered into a contingent consideration arrangement pursuant to the RiverPark Agreement, which is included on the condensed consolidated balance sheets on June 30, 2023 for $2,096,270, including both the short and long-term portions, as an earn-out liability. Contingent payment obligations related to asset purchases, if estimable and probable of payment, are initially recorded at their estimated value and reviewed for changes at every reporting. Any future changes to the estimated value are recorded as an update of the initial acquisition cost of the asset with a corresponding change to the estimated contingent payment obligation on the condensed consolidated balance sheets.

 

As discussed previously, Enterprise Diversified held a promissory note receivable from Triad DIP Investors, LLC and 847,847 aggregate shares of Triad Guaranty, Inc. common stock. During the three-month period ended March 31, 2023, Enterprise Diversified was issued a second amended and restated promissory note by Triad DIP Investors, LLC and was further notified that Triad had successfully secured a new financing resource that would permit a full repayment of Enterprise Diversified’s promissory note. On April 27, 2023, the Company received repayment of the full historical principal balance and accrued interest related to the amended and restated promissory note receivable, which was greater than the Company’s historical recorded carrying amount of $50,000 as of December 31, 2022. As a result of these developments, the Company recognized $334,400 of other income as a realized gain on collection of the note, which is included on the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations for the six-month period ended June 30, 2023. As of June 30, 2023, the Company attributed no value to its shares of Triad Guaranty, Inc. common stock due to the stocks’ general lack of marketability.

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Policies)

Jun. 30, 2023
Accounting Policies [Abstract]  
Basis of Presentation

Basis of Presentation

 

The accompanying interim condensed consolidated financial statements are unaudited. These unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the rules and regulations of the SEC for interim financial information. Accordingly, they do not include all the information and footnotes required by U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) for complete financial statements. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been omitted pursuant to instructions, rules, and regulations prescribed by the SEC. We believe that the disclosures provided herein are adequate to make the information presented not misleading when these unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements are read in conjunction with the audited carve-out financial statements and notes previously filed in our Registration Statement on Form S-4 initially filed with the SEC on February 3, 2022, as subsequently amended and declared effective by the SEC on July 14, 2022. In the opinion of management, the unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all the adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) necessary to state fairly the Company’s financial position as of June 30, 2023 and the results of operations for the three- and six-month periods ended June 30, 2023 and 2022.

 

Following Financial Accounting Standards Board guidance related to the accounting for reverse acquisitions, CrossingBridge’s historical carve-out financial statements replaced the Company’s (as the successor registrant to Enterprise Diversified) historical financial statements. Accordingly, the capital structure, and per share amounts presented in CrossingBridge’s historical carve-out financial statements for the periods prior to the Closing Date have been recast to reflect the capital activity in accordance with the Merger Agreement. CrossingBridge’s historical carve-out financial statements for the three- and six-month periods ended June 30, 2022, reflecting the recasting, are included as part of the unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements presented in the Company’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the period ended June 30, 2023.

 

The CrossingBridge Advisors, LLC carve-out for activity prior to the Closing Date, including the three- and six-month periods ended June 30, 2022, is part of the Cohanzick financial statements. Prior to the Closing Date of the Mergers, CBA was a wholly owned subsidiary of Cohanzick. The historical financial carve-out statements of CBA reflect the assets, liabilities, revenue, and expenses directly attributable to CBA, as well as allocations deemed reasonable by management, to present the financial position, statements of operations, statements of changes in stockholders’ equity, and statements of cash flows of CBA on a stand-alone basis and do not necessarily reflect the financial position, statements of operations, statements of changes in stockholders’ equity, and statements of cash flows of CBA in the future or what they would have been had CBA been a separate, stand-alone entity during the periods presented that include activity prior to the Closing Date.

 

 

Use of Estimates

Use of Estimates

 

In accordance with GAAP the preparation of these condensed consolidated financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amount of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.

 

On an ongoing basis, management evaluates its estimates and judgments, including, among other items, those related to fair value of investments, revenue recognition, accrued expenses, financing operations, fair value of goodwill, fixed asset lives and impairment, lease right-of-use assets and impairment, deferred tax assets, liabilities and valuation allowance, other assets, the present value of lease liabilities, and contingencies and litigation. Management bases its estimates and judgments on historical experience and on various other factors that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying value of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions and conditions. These accounting policies are described at relevant sections in the notes to the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.

 

Concentration of Credit Risk

Concentration of Credit Risk

 

Financial instruments, which potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk, consist of cash, cash equivalents, accounts receivable, and notes receivable. The Company places its cash with high-quality financial institutions and, at times, exceeds the FDIC and CDIC insurance limit. The Company extends credit based on an evaluation of customers’ financial condition, generally without collateral. Exposure to losses on receivables is principally dependent on each customer’s financial condition. The Company monitors its exposure for credit losses and maintains allowances for anticipated losses.

 

Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash and Cash Equivalents

 

For purposes of the statements of cash flows, the Company defines cash equivalents as all highly liquid instruments purchased with a maturity and/or liquidation option of three months or less.

 

Investments

Investments

 

The Company holds various investments through its other operations segment. Investments are typically short-term, highly liquid investments, including vehicles such as: mutual funds, ETFs, commercial paper, and corporate and municipal bonds. Occasionally, the Company also invests in comparably less liquid, opportunistic investments. Investments held at fair value are remeasured to fair value on a recurring basis. Certain assets held through the other operations segment do not have a readily determinable value as these investments are either not publicly traded, do not have published sales records, or do not routinely make current financial information available. Assets that do not have a readily determinable value are remeasured when additional valuation inputs become observable. See Note 6 for more information.

 

Accounts Receivable

Accounts Receivable

 

The Company’s CrossingBridge operations segment records receivable amounts for management fee shares earned on a monthly basis. Management fee shares are calculated and collected on a monthly basis. The Company historically has had no collection issues with management fee shares and the overall possibility for non-collection is extremely low. For these reasons, management has determined that it is not necessary to record an allowance against these receivables.

 

The Company’s Willow Oak operations segment records receivable amounts for management fee shares and fund management services revenue earned on a monthly basis. Management fee shares and fund management services fees are calculated and collected on either a monthly or quarterly basis as dictated by the respective partnership agreement. The Company historically has had no collection issues with management fee shares and fund management receivables and the overall possibility for non-collection is extremely low. For these reasons, management has determined that it is not necessary to record an allowance against these receivables.

 

The Company’s Willow Oak operations segment also records receivable amounts for performance fee shares earned on an annual basis. Performance fee shares are dependent upon exceeding specified relative or absolute investment return thresholds, which vary by affiliate relationship, and typically include annual measurement periods. The Company historically has had no collection issues with performance fee shares and the overall possibility for non-collection is extremely low. For these reasons, management has determined that it is not necessary to record an allowance against these receivables.

 

 

The Company grants credit in the form of unsecured accounts receivable to its customers through its internet operations segment. The estimate of the allowance for doubtful accounts, which is the recorded allowance for doubtful accounts and bad debt expense, is based on management’s assessment of current economic conditions and historical collection experience with each customer. Specific customer receivables are considered past due when they are outstanding beyond their contractual terms and are written off from the allowance for doubtful accounts when an account or invoice is individually determined to be uncollectible. The internet operations segment attempts to reduce the risk of non-collection by including a late-payment fee and a manual-processing-payment fee to customer accounts. Receivables more than 90 days past due are no longer included in accounts receivable and are turned over to a collection agency. Accounts receivable more than 30 days are considered past due.

 

As of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, allowances offsetting gross accounts receivable on the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets totaled $2,203 and $2,283, respectively. For the three- and six-month periods ended June 30, 2023, bad debt expenses (recoveries) totaled $(924) and $320, respectively. There were no comparable bad debt expenses for the three- and six-month periods ended June 30, 2022.

 

Notes Receivable

Notes Receivable

 

The Company does not routinely issue notes receivable in the ordinary course of business, but when a business opportunity arises, a subsidiary may issue a note if it appears to be favorable to the Company. Notes receivable are recorded at their principal amount and interest is accrued quarterly based on the applicable interest rate. The Company makes an assessment of the ultimate collectability of each note receivable on an annual basis based upon the financial condition of the borrower and adjusts the carrying value of the note receivable as deemed appropriate.

 

Property and Equipment

Property and Equipment

 

Property and equipment are recorded at cost. Expenditures for maintenance and repairs are charged to operations as incurred, while renewals and betterments are capitalized. Gains and losses on disposals are included in the results of operations. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method based on the estimated useful lives for each of the following asset classifications.

 

Furniture and fixtures (in years) 5
Equipment (in years) 7

 

The Company evaluates at each balance sheet date whether events and circumstances have occurred that indicate possible impairment. If there are indications of impairment, then the Company uses estimated future undiscounted cash flows of the related asset or asset grouping over the remaining life in measuring whether the assets are recoverable. In the event such cash flows are not expected to be sufficient to recover the recorded asset values, the assets are written down to their estimated fair value. Property and equipment to be disposed are reported at the lower of carrying amount or fair value of the asset less cost to sell.

 

Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets

Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets

 

Goodwill is the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of identifiable net assets acquired in business combinations accounted for under the acquisition method of accounting. The Company tests its goodwill annually as of December 31, or more often if events and circumstances indicate that those assets might not be recoverable. As of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the Company reported $737,869 of goodwill under the CrossingBridge operations segment. None of the Company’s recorded goodwill is tax deductible. The fair values assigned to tangible and intangible assets acquired as part of the Mergers are based on management’s estimates and assumptions. As of the period ended June 30, 2023, the Company considers the fair values of assets acquired and liabilities assumed to be final and no longer subject to potential adjustments.

 

Impairment testing of goodwill is required at the reporting-unit level (operating segment or one level below operating segment). The impairment test involves calculating the impairment of goodwill based solely on the excess of the carrying value of the reporting unit over the fair value of the reporting unit. Prior to performing the impairment test, the Company may make a qualitative assessment of the likelihood of goodwill impairment to determine whether a detailed quantitative analysis is required. The Company estimates the fair value of its reporting units using discounted expected future cash flows.

 

Intangible assets (other than goodwill) consist of customer relationships, trade names, investment management agreements, a non-compete, and domain names held amongst the CrossingBridge, Willow Oak and internet operations segments. When management determines that material intangible assets are acquired in conjunction with the purchase of a business or asset, the Company determines the fair values of the identifiable intangible assets by taking into account internal and external appraisals. Intangible assets determined to have definite lives are amortized over their estimated useful lives. The Company evaluates at each balance sheet date whether events and circumstances have occurred that indicate possible impairment. If there are indications of impairment, then the Company uses estimated future undiscounted cash flows of the related intangible asset or asset grouping over the remaining life in measuring whether the assets are recoverable. In the event such cash flows are not expected to be sufficient to recover the recorded asset values, the assets are written down to their estimated fair value. As of the periods ended June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the Company reported the following intangible assets, net of amortization and excluding goodwill, under the respective operating segment.

 

 

   June 30, 2023   December 31, 2022 
CrossingBridge  $2,278,558   $- 
Willow Oak   513,123    534,195 
Internet   669,373    689,731 
Intangible assets, net  $3,461,054   $1,223,926 

 

As of June 30, 2023, the Company owned 242 domain names.

 

As a result of the Company’s impairment testing of goodwill and other intangible assets on December 31, 2022, the Company determined that there was no impairment adjustment necessary.

 

Earn-Out Liability

Earn-Out Liability

 

The Company may enter into contingent payment arrangements in connection with the Company’s business combinations or asset purchases. In contingent payment arrangements, the Company agrees to pay transaction consideration to the seller based on future performance. The Company estimates the value of future payments of these potential future obligations at the time the business combination or asset purchase is consummated. The liabilities related to contingent payment arrangements are recorded under the earn-out liability line on the condensed consolidated balance sheets.

 

Contingent payment obligations related to asset purchases, if estimable and probable of payment, are initially recorded at their estimated value and reviewed for changes at every reporting. Any changes to the estimated value are recorded as an update of the initial acquisition cost of the asset with a corresponding change to the estimated contingent payment obligation on the condensed consolidated balance sheets. See Note 5 for more information on the Company’s asset acquisition of the RiverPark Strategic Income Fund.

 

W-1 Warrant and Redeemable Class B Common Stock

W-1 Warrant and Redeemable Class B Common Stock

 

Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, the Company issued 1,800,000 Class B common shares that are mandatorily redeemable upon exercise of the W-1 Warrant, which provides the holder the ability to purchase 1,800,000 Class A Common Shares at certain terms. Management has determined that the W-1 Warrant represents an embedded equity-linked feature within the Class B common shares, and therefore is valued in conjunction with the Class B common shares. The value of the W-1 Warrant and Class B common shares is determined using a Black-Scholes pricing model and is classified as a long-term liability on the condensed consolidated balance sheets. The value is remeasured at each reporting date with the change in value flowing through the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations for the relevant period under the “mark-to-market” line item. See Note 4 for additional terms of the W-1 Warrant and Class B common shares.

 

Accrued Compensation

Accrued Compensation

 

Accrued compensation represents performance-based bonuses that have not yet been paid. Bonuses are subjective and are based on numerous factors including, but not limited to, individual performance, the underlying funds’ performance, and profitability of the firm, as well as the consideration of future outlook. Accrued bonus amounts can fluctuate due to a future perceived change in any one or more of these factors. Additionally, differences between historical, current, and future personnel allocations could significantly impact the comparability of bonus expenses period over period.

 

Other Accrued Expenses

Other Accrued Expenses

 

Other accrued expenses represent incurred but not-yet-paid expenses from payroll accruals, professional fees, and other accrued taxes.

 

Stock Compensation Expense

Stock Compensation Expense

 

The board of directors of the Company adopted the ENDI Corp. 2022 Omnibus Equity Incentive Plan, dated December 19, 2022 (the “2022 Plan”), which was subsequently approved by the Company’s stockholders at the 2023 annual meeting of stockholders held on May 22, 2023 (“2023 Annual Meeting”). On February 28, 2023 (the “Grant Date”), the Company granted (i) restricted stock units, and (ii) restricted Class A common stock. Vested restricted stock unit awards will be settled by the Company in the form of cash or the issuance and delivery of shares of Company common stock in the year following the year the awards have become vested, but no later than March 15 of the following year. The Company has elected to ratably recognize the stock compensation expense associated with its outstanding equity awards over each award’s respective vesting period. Equity awards are valued on their respective Grant Date at fair market value, the then current trading value of the Company’s Class A Common Stock, and are not subject to future revaluation. On the Grant Date, the closing stock price of the Company’s Class A Common Stock was $4.35.

 

 

The table below further details the awards granted on February 28, 2023, and represents the number of outstanding awards and the relevant income statement impact as of and during the six-month period ended June 30, 2023. There were no comparable equity awards or income statement impacts as of and during the six-month period ended June 30, 2022.

Leases

Leases

 

The Company records right-of-use assets and lease liabilities arising from both financing and operating leases that contain terms extending longer than one year. The Company does not recognize right-of-use assets or lease liabilities for short-term leases (those with original terms of 12 months or less). In making its determinations, the Company combines lease and non-lease elements of its leases.

 

Concentration of Revenue

Concentration of Revenue

 

CBA is the adviser to five registered investment companies under the CrossingBridge Family of Funds. The advised funds are the CrossingBridge Low Duration High Yield Fund, CrossingBridge Ultra-Short Duration Fund, RiverPark Strategic Income Fund, CrossingBridge Responsible Credit Fund, and the CrossingBridge Pre-Merger SPAC ETF. The combined AUM for these advised funds was approximately $1.01 billion and $692 million as of June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively. CBA is also the sub-adviser to two 1940 Act registered mutual funds with AUM totaling approximately $615 million and $796 million as of June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively. Finally, CBA also earns revenue through a service agreement with a related party. See Note 3 for more information on the terms of the services agreement.

 

CBA fee revenues earned from advised funds, sub-advised funds, and services agreement for the three- and six-month periods ended June 30, 2023 and 2022 included in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations are detailed below.

 

   Three-Month
Period Ended June 30,
   Six-Month
Period Ended June 30,
 
CrossingBridge Operations Revenue  2023   2022   2023   2022 
                 
Advised fund fee revenue  $1,376,227   $1,159,926   $2,401,691   $2,159,184 
Sub-advised fund fee revenue   536,504    602,431    1,084,430    1,310,297 
Service fee revenue   129,747    -    283,611    - 
Total fee revenue  $2,042,478   $1,762,357   $3,769,732   $3,469,481 

 

If CBA were to lose a significant amount of AUM, the Company’s revenue would also decrease.

 

Revenue Recognition

 

CrossingBridge Operations Revenue

 

Management fee shares earned through the CrossingBridge operations segment are recorded on a monthly basis and are included in revenue on the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations. The Company has performed an assessment of its revenue contracts under the CrossingBridge operations segment and has not identified any contract assets or liabilities.

 

Willow Oak Operations Revenue

 

Management fee shares and fund management services fees earned through the Willow Oak operations segment are recorded on a monthly basis and are included in revenue on the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations. Performance fee shares are dependent upon exceeding specified relative or absolute investment return thresholds, which vary by affiliate relationship, and typically include annual measurement periods. Performance fee shares are recognized only when it is determined that there is no longer potential for significant reversal, such as when a fund’s performance exceeds a contractual threshold at the end of a specified measurement period. Consequently, a portion of the performance fee shares recognized may be partially or wholly related to services performed in prior periods.

 

 

Fund management services revenue earned through the Willow Oak operations segment is also generally recorded on a monthly basis, which is in line with the timing of when services are provided. Occasionally, fund management services revenue is earned through bespoke consulting contracts performed over the course of multiple periods. In this instance, Willow Oak will only record and collect revenue for services received through the end of each monthly or quarterly period, as appropriate.

 

The Company has performed an assessment of its revenue contracts under the Willow Oak operations segment and has not identified any contract assets or liabilities.

 

A summary of revenue earned through Willow Oak operations during the three- and six-month periods ended June 30, 2023 and included on the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations is detailed below:

 

                 
   Three-Month
Period Ended June 30,
   Six-Month
Period Ended June 30,
 
Willow Oak Operations Revenue  2023   2022   2023   2022 
                 
Management fee revenue  $15,535   $-   $30,703   $- 
Fund management services revenue   56,705    -    66,050    - 
Total revenue  $72,240   $-   $96,753   $- 

 

Internet Operations Revenue

 

The Company generates revenue through its internet operations segment from consumer and business-grade internet access, e-mail hosting and storage, wholesale managed modem services, e-mail and web hosting, third-party software as a reseller, and various ancillary services in the United States and Canada. Services include narrow-band (dial-up and ISDN) and broadband services (DSL, fiber-optic, and wireless), web hosting, and additional related services to consumers and businesses. Customers may also subscribe to web hosting plans to include email access and storage. Customer contracts through the internet operations segment can be structured as monthly or annual contracts. Under annual contracts, the subscriber pays a one-time annual fee, which is recognized as revenue ratably over the life of the contract. Under monthly contracts, the subscriber is billed monthly and revenue is recognized for the period to which the service relates. Domain name registration revenue is recognized at the point of registration. Sales of hardware are recognized as revenue upon delivery and acceptance of the product by the customer. Sales are adjusted for any returns or allowances. Management has concluded that the nature of the performance obligation is cyclical with a very low possibility for nonperformance. Contract liabilities (deferred revenue) are recognized in the amount of collections received in advance of services to be performed. No contract assets are recognized or incurred.

 

Deferred Revenue

 

Deferred revenue represents collections from customers in advance of internet services to be performed. Revenue is recognized in the period service is provided. Total deferred revenue recorded under the internet operations segment as of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022 was $167,500 and $156,859, respectively. During the three- and six-month periods ended June 30, 2023, $31,344 and $102,088 of revenue was recognized from prior-year contract liabilities (deferred revenue), respectively. The internet operations segment did not have comparable activity for the three- and six-month periods ended June 30, 2022.

 

Income Taxes

Income Taxes

 

Income taxes for ENDI Corp. are accounted for under the asset and liability method, which requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax benefits or consequences of events that have been included in the condensed consolidated financial statements. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined on the basis of the differences between the financial statement and tax basis of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to reverse. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance when, in the opinion of management, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are adjusted for the effects of changes in tax laws and rates on the date of enactment, inclusive of the recent tax reform act. ENDI Corp. filed its first tax return for the year ended December 31, 2021, which is open to potential examination by the Internal Revenue Service for three years.

 

 

As of June 30, 2023, the Company reported $1,334,532 of net deferred tax assets on the condensed consolidated balance sheets. These net deferred tax assets consist primarily of historic net operating losses that were acquired by the Company as part of the Business Combination, as well as post-closing activity which includes certain deferred tax assets and liabilities that were not previously recognized when CrossingBridge was a nontaxable entity. In accordance with Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (“Section 382”), the Company has performed an analysis to determine if a change of control occurred as a result of the Business Combination and has determined that a change of control is more likely than not to have occurred on August 11, 2022. Under Section 382, net operating loss carryforwards that arose prior to the ownership change will have limited availability to offset taxable income arising in future periods following the ownership change. Section 382 imposes multiple separate and distinct limits on the utilization of pre-change of control net operating losses based on the fair market value of the Company immediately prior to the change of control, as well as certain activities that may or may not occur during the 60 months immediately following the change of control. While the majority of the Company’s historic net operating losses will be limited to an annual threshold, the majority of historic net operating losses also will not be subject to future expiration. As of the period ended June 30, 2023, the Company has not provided a valuation allowance against its net operating losses as the Company expects to be able to use its net operating losses in full to offset future taxable income generated by the Company.

 

In as much as CBA had a single member prior to the Closing Date, it had historically been treated as a disregarded entity for income tax purposes. Consequently, Federal and state income taxes have not been provided for periods prior to the Closing Date, including the six-month period ended June 30, 2022, as its single member was taxed directly on CBA’s earnings. CBA activity subsequent to the Closing Date was consolidated within ENDI Corp.’s tax return that will be filed for the year ended December 31, 2022 and was included in the income tax provision for the year ended December 31, 2022.

 

During the three- and six-month periods ended June 30, 2023, the Company reported $208,877 and $241,110 of income tax expenses, respectively. As noted above, due to CBA’s disregarded status for periods prior to the Closing Date, no comparable income tax expenses existed for the three- and six-month periods ended June 30, 2022.

 

Income (Loss) Per Share

Income (Loss) Per Share

 

Basic income (loss) per share is computed by dividing net income (loss) available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Included in the basic income (loss) per share for the three- and six-month periods ended June 30, 2023, in addition to the number of shares of common stock outstanding, are 15,750 shares underlying common stock equity incentives awarded pursuant to the Company’s 2022 Plan which vested immediately in full upon approval by the Company’s stockholders of the 2022 Plan at the 2023 Annual Meeting. These shares represent equity awards in the form of restricted stock units.

 

In periods of net loss, diluted loss per share is calculated similarly to basic loss per share because the impact of all potentially dilutive common shares is anti-dilutive. In periods of net income, diluted earnings per share is computed using the more dilutive of the “two-class method” or the “treasury method.” Dilutive earnings per share under the “two-class method” is calculated by dividing net income available to common stockholders as adjusted for the participating securities, by the weighted-average number of shares outstanding plus the dilutive impact of all other potentially dilutive common shares, consisting primarily of common shares underlying the Class W-1 and W-2 Warrants issued pursuant to the Merger Agreement. Dilutive earnings per share under the “treasury method” is calculated by dividing net income available to common stockholders by the weighted-average number of shares outstanding plus the dilutive impact of all potentially dilutive common shares, consisting primarily of common shares underlying the Class W-1 and W-2 Warrants issued pursuant to the Merger Agreement.

 

The number of potentially dilutive shares for the period ended June 30, 2023, consisting of the Class W-1 and W-2 Warrants issued pursuant to the Merger Agreement, was 2,050,000. There were no potentially dilutive shares for the period ended June 30, 2022. None of the potentially dilutive securities had a dilutive impact during the three- and six-month periods ended June 30, 2023.

 

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

 

In June 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2016-13, “Financial Instruments - Credit Losses” (Topic 326). The guidance eliminates the probable initial recognition threshold that was previously required prior to recognizing a credit loss on financial instruments. The credit loss estimate should now reflect an entity’s current estimate of all future expected credit losses. Under the previous guidance, an entity only considered past events and current conditions. In April 2019, the FASB further clarified the scope of the credit losses standard and addressed issues related to accrued interest receivable balances, recoveries, variable interest rates, and prepayments. In May 2019, the FASB issued further guidance to provide entities with an option to irrevocably elect the fair value option applied on an instrument-by-instrument basis for eligible financial instruments. In November 2019, the FASB issued further guidance on expected recoveries for purchased financial assets with credit deterioration, and transition refiled for troubled debt restructurings, disclosures related to accrued interest receivables, and financial assets secured by collateral maintenance provisions. The guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The adoption of certain amendments of this guidance must be applied on a modified retrospective basis and the adoption of the remaining amendments must be applied on a prospective basis. The Company currently expects that the adoption of this guidance may change the way it assesses the collectability of its receivables and recoverability of other financial instruments. The Company adopted this guidance as of January 1, 2023. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.

 

 

In August 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-06, “Debt - Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging - Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40)”. This update simplifies the accounting for convertible debt and convertible preferred stock by removing the requirements to separately present certain conversion features in equity. In addition, the amendments in the ASU also simplify the guidance in ASC 815-40, Derivatives and Hedging: Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity, by removing certain criteria that must be satisfied in order to classify a contract as equity. Finally, the amendments revise the guidance on calculating earnings per share, requiring use of the if-converted method for all convertible instruments and rescinding an entity’s ability to rebut the presumption of share settlement for instruments that may be settled in cash or other assets. This new guidance is required to be adopted by public entities in years beginning after December 15, 2023, with early adoption permitted. The Company adopted this guidance as of January 1, 2022. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.

 

The Company does not believe that any other recently issued effective standards, or standards issued but not yet effective, if adopted, would have a material effect on the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements.
