Note 2. Summary of Significant Accounting PoliciesBasis of presentation The accompanying Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared, without audit, in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“GAAP”) and the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Accordingly, they do not include all information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. These statements reflect all normal and recurring adjustments which, in the opinion of management, are necessary to present fairly the financial position, results of operations and cash flows of the Company at April 30, 2019 and for all periods presented. As a result of the Business Combination, the Company is the acquirer for accounting purposes and CPH is the acquiree and accounting predecessor. The Company’s financial statement presentation distinguishes the Company’s presentations into two distinct periods, the period up to the Closing Date (labeled “Predecessor”) and the period including and after that date (labeled “Successor”).The Business Combination was accounted for as a business combination using the acquisition method of accounting, and the Successor financial statements reflect a new basis of accounting that is based on the fair value of the net assets acquired. Determining the fair value of certain assets and liabilities assumed is judgmental in nature and often involves the use of significant estimates and assumptions. See Note 4 – Business Combinations for a discussion of the estimated fair values of assets and liabilities recorded in connection with the Company’s acquisition of CPH.As a result of the application of the acquisition method of accounting as of the Closing Date of the Business Combination, the accompanying Consolidated Financial Statements include a black line division which indicates that the Predecessor and Successor reporting entities shown are presented on a different basis and are therefore, not comparable. These statements should be read in conjunction with the Predecessor’s Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes thereto as of October 31, 2018 and 2017, and for the years ended October 31, 2018,
2017 and 2016, included as Exhibit 99.3 in the Company’s Form 8 -K/A (Amendment No.1 ) filed with the SEC on January 29, 2019.
The historical financial information of Industrea prior to the Business Combination (a special purpose acquisition company, or “SPAC”) has not been reflected in the Predecessor financial statements as these historical amounts have been determined to be not useful information to a user of the financial statements. SPACs deposit the proceeds from their initial public offerings into a segregated trust account until a business combination occurs, where such funds are then used to pay consideration for the acquiree and/or to pay stockholders who elect to redeem their shares of common stock in connection with the business combination. SPACs will operate until the closing of a business combination, and the SPAC operations until the closing of a business combination, other than income from the trust account investments and transaction expenses, are nominal. Accordingly, no other activity in the Company was reported for periods prior to December 6, 2018 besides CPH’s operations as Predecessor.Principles of consolidation The Successor Consolidated Financial Statements include all amounts of the Company and its subsidiaries. The Predecessor Consolidated Financial Statements include all amounts of CPH and its subsidiaries. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated. Use of estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amount of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Significant estimates include accrued sales and use taxes, the liability for incurred but unreported claims under various partially self-insured polices, allowance for doubtful accounts, goodwill impairment analysis, valuation of share based compensation and accounting for business combinations. Actual results may differ from those estimates, and such differences may be material to the Company’s consolidated financial statements.Trade
receivables
Trade receivables are carried at the original invoice amount less an estimate made for doubtful receivables based on a review of all outstanding amounts. Generally, the Company does not require collateral for their accounts receivable; however, the Company may file statutory liens or take other appropriate legal action when necessary on construction projects when problems arise. A trade receivable is considered to be past due if any portion of the receivable balance is outstanding for more than 30 days. The Company does not charge interest on past-due trade receivables.Management determines the allowance for doubtful accounts by identifying troubled accounts and by using historical experience applied to an aging of accounts. As of April 30, 2019 and October 31, 2018, the allowance for doubtful accounts was $0.2 million and $0.7 million, respectively. Trade receivables are written off when deemed uncollectible. Recoveries of trade receivables previously written off are recorded when received.Inventory Inventory consists primarily of replacement parts for concrete pumping equipment. Inventories are stated at the lower of cost ( first -in, first -out method) or net realizable value. The Company evaluates inventory and records an allowance for obsolete and slow-moving inventory to account for cost adjustments to net realizable value. Based on management’s analysis, no allowance for obsolete and slow-moving inventory was required as of April 30, 2019 and October 31, 2018.
Fair Value Measurements The Financial Accounting Standard Board’s (the "FASB") standard on fair value measurements establishes a fair value hierarchy that requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. A financial instrument’s categorization within the fair value hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. This standard establishes three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value:Level 1 – Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.Level 2 – Observable inputs other than Level 1 prices such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities.Level 3 – Unobservable inputs to the valuation methodology that are significant to the measurement of fair value of assets or liabilities.Deferred financing costs Deferred financing costs representing third -party, non-lender debt issuance costs are deferred and amortized using the effective interest rate method over the term of the related long-term-debt agreement, and the straight-line method for the revolving credit agreement.Debt issuance costs related to term loans are reflected as a direct deduction from the carrying amount of the long-term debt liability. Debt issuance costs related to revolving credit facilities are capitalized and reflected as an Other Asset. Goodwill The Company accounts for goodwill under Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 350, Intangibles—Goodwill and Other (“ASC 350” ). The Company’s goodwill is the direct result of business combinations, is recorded using the acquisition method of accounting, and is not amortized, but is expected to be deductible for tax purposes. The Company tests its recorded goodwill for impairment on an annual basis on August 31, or more often if indicators of potential impairment exist, by determining if the carrying value of each reporting unit exceeds its estimated fair value. The Company has the option to first assess qualitative factors to determine whether or not it is more than likely that the fair value of the reporting unit is less than the carrying value (also referred to as "Step 1" ). If the result of a qualitative test indicates it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than the carrying value, a quantitative test is performed. The Company adopted Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2017 -04, Intangibles — Goodwill and Other (ASC (“ASU 350 ): Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment2017 -04” ), and accordingly, goodwill impairment is recognized in the amount that the carrying value of the reporting unit exceeds the fair value of the reporting unit, not to exceed the amount of goodwill allocated to the reporting unit, based on the results of the Step 1 analysis.Property, plant and equipment Property, plant and equipment are recorded at acquired cost (or their estimated fair value when acquired through a business combination) less accumulated depreciation. Expenditures for additions and betterments are capitalized. Expenditures for maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred; however, maintenance and repairs that improve or extend the life of existing assets are capitalized. The carrying amount of assets disposed of and the related accumulated depreciation are eliminated from the accounts in the year of disposal. Gains or losses from property and equipment disposals are recognized in the year of disposal. Property, plant and equipment is depreciated using the straight line method over the following estimated useful lives:
Capital lease assets are depreciated over the estimated useful life of the asset. Intangible assets Intangible assets are recorded at cost or their estimated fair value when acquired through a business combination less accumulated amortization (if finite-lived). Intangible assets with finite lives, except for customer relationships, are amortized on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives. Customer relationships are amortized on an accelerated basis over their estimated useful lives. Intangible assets with indefinite lives are not amortized but are subject to annual reviews for impairment.Impairment of long-lived assets ASC 360, Property, Plant and Equipment (ASC 360 ) requires other long-lived assets to be evaluated for impairment when indicators of impairment are present. If indicators are present, assets are grouped to the lowest level for which identifiable cash flows are largely independent of other asset groups and cash flows are estimated for each asset group over the remaining estimated life of each asset group. If the undiscounted cash flows estimated to be generated by those assets are less than the asset’s carrying amount, impairment is recognized in the amount of the excess of the carrying value over the fair value. No indicators of impairment were identified as of April 30, 2019.
Revenue recognition The Company generates revenues primarily from concrete pumping services in both the U.S. and the U.K. Additionally, revenues are generated from the Company’s waste management business which consists of service fees charged to customers for the delivery of our pans and containers and the disposal of the concrete waste material. The Company recognizes revenue from these businesses when all of the following criteria are met: (a) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, (b) the service has been performed or delivery has occurred, (c) the price is fixed or determinable, and (d) collectability is reasonably assured. The Company’s delivery terms for replacement part sales are FOB shipping point. The Company imposes and collects sales taxes concurrent with its revenue-producing transactions with customers and remits those taxes to the various governmental authorities as prescribed by the taxing jurisdictions in which it operates. The Company presents such taxes in its consolidated statements of income on a net basis. Stock-based compensation The Company follows ASC 718, Compensation—Stock Compensation (“ASC 718” ), which requires the measurement and recognition of compensation expense, based on estimated fair values, for all share-based awards made to employees and directors. The value of the vested portion of the award is recognized as expense in the consolidated statements of income over the requisite service periods when applicable. Compensation expense for all share-based awards is recognized using the straight-line method. The Company will account for forfeitures as they occur in accordance with the early adoption of ASU No. 2016 -09, Compensation—Stock Compensation (ASC .718 ): Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment AccountingForeign currency translation The functional currency of Camfaud is the Pound Sterling ("GBP"). The assets and liabilities of the foreign subsidiaries are translated into US dollars using the period end exchange rates, and the consolidated statements of income are translated at the average rate for the period. The resulting translation adjustments are recorded as a component of comprehensive income on the consolidated statements of comprehensive income and accumulated in other comprehensive income. The functional currency of our other subsidiaries is the U.S. Dollar. Income taxes The Company complies with ASC 740, Income Taxes , which requires a liability approach to financial reporting for income taxes.The Company computes deferred income tax assets and liabilities annually for differences between the financial statements and tax basis of assets and liabilities that will result in taxable or deductible amounts in the future based on enacted tax laws and rates applicable to the periods in which the differences are expected to affect taxable income. Valuation allowances are established when necessary to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized. In assessing the realizability of deferred tax assets, management considers whether it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income during the periods in which those temporary differences become deductible. Management considers the scheduled reversal of deferred tax liabilities, projected future taxable income, carryback opportunities, and tax planning strategies in making the assessment. Income tax expense includes both the current income taxes payable or refundable and the change during the period in the deferred tax assets and liabilities. The tax benefit from an uncertain tax position is only recognized in the consolidated balance sheets if the tax position is more likely than not to be sustained upon an examination.Camfaud files income tax returns in the U.K. Camfaud’s national statutes are generally open for one year following the statutory filing period.Business combinations The Company applies the principles provided in ASC 805, Business Combinations (“ASC 805” ), when a business is acquired. Tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed are recorded at fair value and goodwill is recognized for any differences between the price of the acquisition and the fair value determination. The Company estimates all purchase costs and other related transactions on the acquisition date. Transaction costs for the acquisitions are expensed as incurred in accordance with ASC 805.
Concentrations
As of April 30, 2019 and October 31, 2018, there were three significant vendors that the Company relies upon to purchase concrete pumping boom equipment. However, should the need arise, there are alternate vendors who can provide concrete pumping boom equipment.Cash balances held at financial institutions may, at times, be in excess of federally insured limits. It is management’s belief that the Company places their temporary cash balances in high-credit quality financial institutions.The Company’s customer base is dispersed across the United States and U.K. The Company performs ongoing evaluations of their customers’ financial condition and requires
no collateral to support credit sales. During the predecessor and successor periods described above, no customer represented 10 percent or more of sales or trade receivables. |
