INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT
The Board of Directors
Lavante, Inc.
San Jose, California
We have audited the accompanying financial statements of Lavante, Inc. (the “Company”) (a Delaware corporation), which comprise the balance sheets as of December 31, 2015 and 2014, and the related statements of operations, stockholders’ equity (deficit) and cash flows for the years then ended, and the related notes to the financial statements.
Management’s Responsibility for the Financial Statements
Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America; this includes the design, implementation, and maintenance of internal control relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
Auditor’s Responsibility
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free from material misstatement.
An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditor’s judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the entity’s preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity’s internal control. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of significant accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements.
We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.
Opinion
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Lavante, Inc. as of December 31, 2015 and 2014, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years then ended in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Emphasis of Matter
As discussed in Note 11, in October 2016 the Company entered into a merger agreement with PRGX USA, Inc. Our opinion is not modified with respect to this matter.

LAVANTE, INC.
Notes to Financial Statements
For the Years Ended December 31, 2015 and 2014
1. Operations and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Operations
Lavante, Inc., formerly Audit Solutions, Inc., (the “Company”) was incorporated in Delaware on October 1, 2007, in connection with the conversion from a limited liability company to a corporation. Effective April 1, 2009, Audit Solutions, Inc. was re-named Lavante, Inc. The Company is a leader in cloud-based supplier management and recovery software. These services help Fortune 1000 companies enhance productivity and cash flow by automating communications with their supply chain vendors and by creating automated methods to reclaim and prevent profit loss associated with typical transaction errors in the procure-to-pay process. Currently, the Company’s business is primarily focused on North American clientele.
Liquidity
The Company has incurred operating losses since its incorporation and conversion from a limited liability company. To date, the Company has relied on equity financing in order to fund operating losses. In 2014, the Company raised approximately $5.5 million through the issuance of preferred stock. In addition, during 2015 the Company borrowed approximately $4.0 million for working capital needs. As discussed in Note 11, in October 2016 the Company merged with a wholly owned subsidiary of PRGX USA, Inc. for cash consideration of $4.25 million.
Revenue recognition
The Company derives its revenue from services it provides to its customers. Revenues are derived from contingency-based and/or fixed fee accounts payable and vendor statement recovery audit services as well as supplier information management software license subscriptions (the “Services”).
Revenue generated from the Services is recognized as the related services are performed, provided there is persuasive evidence of an arrangement, the fee is fixed or determinable, services have been delivered and collection of the resulting receivable is reasonably assured.
Contingency-based services are considered delivered when identified recoveries are presented to or accepted by the customer, depending on the terms of the contract. For contingency-based services where revenue is recognized upon presentation of identified recoveries to customers, the Company establishes an allowance for estimated recoveries presented which may ultimately be rejected. Such estimates are made primarily based on historical rejection rates.
The Company derives its software license subscription revenue from the sale of subscriptions relating to customers accessing the Company’s on-demand application service. The Company’s subscription agreements typically span one to three years. Customers do not contractually have the right to take possession of the software supporting the on-demand application. Subscription revenues are recognized ratably over the contractual term of the arrangement beginning on the date the service is made available to the customer, assuming all revenue recognition criteria have been met.
For arrangements with multiple deliverables, the Company evaluates whether the individual deliverables qualify as separate units of accounting. In order to treat deliverables in a multiple deliverable arrangement as separate units of accounting, the deliverables must have standalone value upon delivery. If the deliverables have standalone value upon delivery, the Company accounts for each deliverable separately and revenue is recognized for the respective deliverables as they are delivered. If one or more of the deliverables does not have standalone value upon delivery, the deliverables that do not have standalone value are generally combined with the final deliverable within the arrangement and treated as a single unit of accounting. Revenue for arrangements treated as a single unit of accounting is generally recognized over the subscription services period, which is considered the final deliverable.
In determining whether professional services have standalone value can be accounted for separately from subscription services, the Company considers the availability of the professional services from other vendors, the nature of the professional services and whether subscriptions are sold to new customers without professional services.
7
1. Operations and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
Revenue recognition (continued)
When multiple deliverables included in an arrangement are separable into different units of accounting, the arrangement consideration is allocated to the identified separate units of accounting based on their relative selling price. Accounting guidance provides a hierarchy to use when determining the relative selling price for each unit of accounting. Vendor-specific objective evidence (“VSOE”) of selling price, based on the price at which the item is regularly sold by the vendor on a standalone basis, should be used if it exists. If VSOE of selling price is not available, third-party evidence (“TPE”) of selling price is used to establish the selling price if it exists. VSOE and TPE do not currently exist for any of the Company’s deliverables. Accordingly, the Company allocates the arrangement fee to the separate units of accounting based on its best estimate of selling price. Best estimate of selling price is based on overall pricing objectives, taking into consideration market conditions and entity-specific factors.
Concentrations and other risks
Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to a concentration of credit risk consist of cash, cash equivalents and accounts receivable. Cash and cash equivalents are deposited with high quality financial institutions. Periodically, such balances may be in excess of federally insured limits.
At December 31, 2015, two customers accounted for a total 53% of accounts receivable. During 2015, two customers accounted for 22% of revenue. At December 31, 2014, three customers accounted for 48% of accounts receivable. During 2014, one customer accounted for 11% of revenue.
Cash and cash equivalents
The Company considers all highly liquid financial instruments purchased with original maturities of three months or less to be cash or cash equivalents.
Accounts receivable
Accounts receivable are derived from revenue earned from customers located in the U.S. and Canada. The Company performs ongoing credit evaluations of customers’ financial condition and periodically evaluates its outstanding accounts receivables and establishes an allowance for doubtful accounts based on the Company’s historical experience, the current aging and circumstances of account receivables and general economic conditions. Accounts are written off by the Company when it has been determined that all available collection avenues have been exhausted. The Company does not require collateral from customers. At December 31, 2015 and 2014, management had established an allowance for doubtful accounts of $38,707 and $13,661, respectively. The Company also established an allowance for estimated recoveries which may ultimately be rejected when presented to customers under contingency-based agreements. This allowance has been estimated using historical recovery data. At December 31, 2015 and 2014, the allowance for estimated recoveries was $84,526 and $185,016, respectively.
Property and equipment
Computer equipment and software, office equipment and furniture and fixtures are recorded at cost and are depreciated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives, which range from three to seven years. Leasehold improvements are recorded at cost and amortized using the straight-line method over the shorter of the life of the assets or the remaining period of the applicable facility lease excluding renewal provisions. Routine maintenance and repair costs are expensed as incurred. The costs of major additions, replacements and improvements are capitalized. Gains and losses from disposals are included in operations as incurred.

1. Operations and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
Other assets
Other assets are comprised of deposits on property leases.
Long-lived assets
The carrying value of the long-lived assets is reviewed on a regular basis for the existence of facts, both internally and externally, that may suggest impairment. The Company recognizes impairment losses whenever events or circumstances result in the carrying amount of the assets exceeding the sum of the expected future cash flows associated with such assets. The measurement of the impairment losses to be recognized is based on the difference between the discounted cash flows from such assets and the carrying amounts of the assets.
Research and development
The Company’s research and development costs incurred internally to develop computer software products it licenses to customers are charged to expense as incurred until technological feasibility is reached for the product. Once technological feasibility is reached, all software costs should be capitalized until the product is made available for general release to customers.
Costs incurred to develop on-demand application services are charged to expense until the preliminary product stage has been completed. Capitalization of on-demand application services costs should be capitalized until the application is substantially complete and ready for its intended use.
Judgment is required in determining when technological feasibility is established or when the preliminary product stage is completed. Management believes the time period from reaching technological feasibility until the time of general product release (for licensed software), or from the conclusion of the preliminary project stage until the application is substantially complete and ready for its intended use (for on-demand application services), is very short. In addition, the Company’s estimated useful life of such capitalized costs is one year or less, and accordingly, all such costs are charged to research and development expense as incurred.
Management estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect certain reported amounts and disclosures. Accordingly, actual results could differ from those estimates.
Stock-based compensation
The Company has a stock incentive plan under which incentive stock options are granted, primarily to employees. The fair value of each employee stock option is estimated on the date of grant using the Black Scholes option pricing model. The model requires management to make a number of assumptions, including expected volatility of the Company’s stock, expected life of the option, risk-free interest rate and expected dividends.
Stock-based compensation expense recognized in the Company’s financial statements is based on awards that are expected to vest. These expense amounts have been reduced by using an estimated forfeiture rate. Forfeitures are required to be estimated at the time of grant and revised, if necessary, in subsequent periods if actual forfeitures differ from those estimates. The Company evaluates the assumptions used to value stock awards on an annual basis.
Share-based awards issued to non-employees are recognized as expense over the requisite service period at their then current fair value.

1. Operations and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
Income taxes
The asset and liability method is used in accounting for deferred income taxes. Under this method, deferred income taxes are provided for differences between the carrying amount of assets and liabilities for financial reporting and tax purposes, using the enacted tax rates and laws that will be in effect when the differences are expected to reverse. These differences result primarily from loss carry-forwards for financial reporting and tax purposes at each year-end. Valuation allowances are established when necessary to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized. Realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon future pretax earnings, the reversal of temporary differences between book and tax income, and the expected tax rates in future periods and adjustment for change in control.
The Company is required to evaluate the tax positions taken in the course of preparing its tax returns to determine whether tax positions are “more-likely-than-not” of being sustained by the applicable tax authority. Tax benefits of positions not deemed to meet the more-likely-than-not threshold would be recorded as a tax expense in the current year. The Company has analyzed its inventory of tax positions taken with respect to all applicable income tax issues for all open tax years (in each respective jurisdiction), and has concluded that it has no uncertain tax positions for which a reserve is required.
Fair value measurements
The Company defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The Company utilizes valuation techniques that maximize the use of observable inputs and minimizes the use of unobservable inputs within the fair value hierarchy. Observable inputs are inputs that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability developed based on market data obtained from sources independent of the Company. Unobservable inputs are inputs that reflect the Company’s own assumptions about what market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability developed based on the best information available in the circumstances.
The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair value of financial instruments:
| • | | Level 1 - Valuation is based upon quoted prices for identical instruments traded in active markets. |
| • | | Level 2 - Valuation is based upon quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active, and model-based valuation techniques for which all significant assumptions are observable in the market. |
| • | | Level 3 - Valuation is generated from model-based techniques that use significant assumptions not observable in the market. These unobservable assumptions reflect management’s estimates of assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. Valuation techniques include use of option pricing models, discounted cash flow models and similar techniques. |
The category within the valuation hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement.

3. Borrowing Arrangements
Lines of credit
The Company maintained a loan and security agreement with Avidbank Corporate Finance, a division of Avidbank (the “Agreement”) which provided for a revolving line of credit with maximum borrowings of up to $150,000. The interest rate was the greater of the prime rate plus 2.5% or 5.75%. The interest rate as of December 31, 2015 was 6%. Borrowings under the Agreement were collateralized by substantially all of the Company assets except for intellectual property and the Company maintained compensating restricted cash of $150,000 as of December 31, 2015. As of December 31, 2015 and 2014, the Company had $159,109 and $166,803, respectively, of borrowings and accrued interest outstanding under this line of credit. The Agreement expired on February 24, 2016.
Note payable
On September 30, 2013, the Company entered into a loan and security agreement with Costella Kirsch V, L.P. (the “CK Agreement”). The CK Agreement provides for maximum borrowings of up to $1,500,000 based on achievement of certain financial milestones and expired on September 30, 2016. The interest rate is 13%. Borrowings under the CK Agreement are collateralized by substantially all of the Company assets except for cash and accounts receivable. As of December 31, 2015 and 2014, the Company had $248,311 and $519,323, respectively, of borrowings outstanding under this term loan. The borrowings were subsequently repaid during 2016.
The CK Agreement provides for the ability to earn warrants to purchase up to $150,000 of Company’s stock. As of December 31, 2015, warrants to purchase up to $90,000 of Series AA preferred stock have been earned. Each warrant includes a put option whereby Costella Kirsch may sell the warrant back to the Company coincident with a liquidity event or termination of the warrant. The current put amount is equal to $225,000. The Company estimated the fair value of the warrant derivative liability using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. The initial fair value of the warrant derivative liability was $52,343 and recorded as a discount against the associated notes payable. As of December 31, 2015, the fair value of the warrant derivative liability was $54,762. Amortization of the discount on note payable is computed using the straight line method over the note term and is included in interest expense in the accompanying statements of operations. The straight line method of amortization is not materially different than the effective interest method. Amortization of the discount for the years ended December 31, 2015 and 2014, totaled $27,881 and $17,447, respectively.
The put option was settled in full in conjunction with the merger discussed in Note 11.

3. Borrowing Arrangements (continued)
Convertible notes payable
During June, October, and December 2015, the Company issued convertible promissory notes payable to preferred stockholders totaling $2,500,000, $1,000,000, and $500,000, respectively. The notes accrue interest at 6% per annum with six month maturities. The notes are convertible into shares of the Company’s preferred stock in the event the Company issues and sells shares of preferred stock prior to the maturity date of the notes in a qualified financing (excluding the conversion of the notes), as defined in the note agreements. The conversion price of the notes is equal to the lowest price paid for the shares issued by the Company in the qualified financing.
Convertible notes payable outstanding as of December 31, 2015 totaled $4,000,000. Accrued interest totaling $92,548 is included in accrued expenses in the accompanying balance sheets as of December 31, 2015.
As discussed in Note 11, all outstanding convertible notes payable were converted to preferred stock in conjunction with the merger.
4. Fair Value Measurements
The following table summarizes the Company’s assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis at:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | December 31, 2015 | |
| | Fair Value | | | (Level 1) | | | (Level 2) | | | (Level 3) | |
Warrant liability | | $ | 54,762 | | | | — | | | | — | | | $ | 54,762 | |
| |
| | December 31, 2014 | |
| | Fair Value | | | (Level 1) | | | (Level 2) | | | (Level 3) | |
Warrant liability | | $ | 70,639 | | | | — | | | | — | | | $ | 70,639 | |
As discussed in Note 3, in September 2013, in conjunction with the issuance of notes payable, the Company issued warrants to purchase up to $90,000 of Series AA preferred stock. The exercise price is subject to adjustment and the warrants may be exercised without cash consideration in lieu of forfeiting a portion of shares. In addition, the holders may exercise a put option of a minimum of $225,000 in lieu of exercising the warrants. Accordingly, the Company recognized a derivative liability at fair value upon issuance of the warrants. The Company estimated the fair value of the derivative liability using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. The fair value of the derivative liability as of December 31, 2015 was estimated using the following assumptions:
| | | | |
Expected volatility | | | 40.4 | % |
Risk free rate | | | 1.55 | % |
Dividend yield | | | 0 | % |
Expected term (in years) | | | 4.75 | |
The assumptions utilized were derived in a similar manner as discussed in Note 6 related to the fair value of stock options.

4. Fair Value Measurements (continued)
The Company revalues the derivative liability at the end of each reporting period using the same models as at issuance, updated for new facts and circumstances, and recognizes the change in the fair value in the statements of operations as other income (expense). The following sets forth a summary of changes in fair value of the Company’s level 3 liabilities measured on a recurring basis:

Each share of preferred stock is convertible, at the option of the holder, at any time after the date of issuance, into such number of fully paid and nonassessable shares of common stock as is determined by dividing (i) $0.145 in the case of Series AA, (ii) $0.145 in the case of Series AB, (iii) $0.145 in the case of Series A-2 by the conversion price in effect.
13
5. Stockholders’ Equity (continued)
Each share of preferred stock will automatically be converted into common stock upon the earlier of (i) a vote or written request from at least a majority of holders of the then outstanding preferred stock; and (ii) the closing of an underwritten public offering of common stock under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, in which the Company receives at least $30,000,000 in gross proceeds and the price per share is at least $0.725.
Holders of preferred stock are entitled to one vote for each share of common stock into which their shares can be converted.
Holders of Series AA, Series AB and Series A-2 preferred stock, in preference to holders of common stock, are entitled to receive dividends at the rate of 0.0116 cents ($0.0116) per annum on each outstanding share, respectively. The dividends are non-cumulative and are payable when, as, and if declared by the board of directors. As of September 30, 2016, no dividends have been declared or paid.
Upon any liquidation event and before any distribution or payment is made to the holders of common stock, the holders of Series AA, Series AB and Series A-2 preferred stock will be entitled to receive an amount equal to $0.29, $0.145, $0.145, per share, respectively, plus all declared but unpaid dividends. Thereafter, any remaining assets available for distribution will be distributed to the holders of common stock and preferred stocks pro rata, at an as-if converted basis.
Warrants
Warrants to purchase 259,788 shares of Series B preferred stock were issued in connection with convertible promissory notes in October 2010. During 2013, following the aforementioned recapitalization of preferred stock; the warrants were revised to allow for the purchase of 124,894 shares of Series B-1 preferred stock. During 2014, the warrants were revised to allow for the purchase 131,467 shares of common stock. The warrants were exercisable at $1.20 per share through October 2015 when they expired.
Warrants to purchase an exercise quantity equal to $90,000 worth of shares of Series AA preferred stock were issued in connection with a term loan in September 2013. The warrants are exercisable at $0.145 per share through September 2020. These warrants were outstanding at December 31, 2015.
6. Stock Incentive Plan
In 2008, the Company authorized the 2008 Stock Incentive Plan (the “2008 Plan”). The 2008 Plan authorizes the granting of common stock options. The exercise price of all common stock options granted is the fair value of the Company’s common stock at the date of grant as determined by the board of directors. The common stock options typically vest over a four year period and expire ten years from the grant date. Restricted stock issued to consultants and directors vest based on time and/or performance criteria.

Stock-based compensation
Employee stock-based compensation recognized in the years ended December 31, 2015 and 2014 was as follows:
| | | | | | | | |
| | 2015 | | | 2014 | |
Cost of revenues | | $ | 10,463 | | | $ | 6,634 | |
Operating expenses | | | | | | | | |

| | | | | | | | |
No income tax benefit has been recognized relating to stock-based compensation expense during the years ended December 31, 2015 and 2014. As of December 31, 2015, there was total unrecognized compensation costs of $168,499 related to these stock options. These costs are expected to be recognized over a period of approximately 2.7 years.

6. Stock Incentive Plan (continued)
During the years ended December 31, 2015 and 2014, the Company granted stock options to employees and directors with weighted-average grant date fair values of $0.03 and $0.04 per share, respectively. The fair value of employee stock options granted was estimated using the following weighted-average assumptions for the years ended December 31, 2015 and 2014:
| | | | | | | | |
| | 2015 | | | 2014 | |
Expected volatility | | | 40 | % | | | 45 | % |
Risk free rate | | | 1.7 | % | | | 1.7 | % |
Dividend yield | | | 0 | % | | | 0 | % |
Expected term (in years) | | | 6.11 | | | | 6.08 | |
The expected term of the options is based on the average period the stock options are expected to remain outstanding based on the option’s vesting term and contractual terms. The expected stock price volatility assumption for the Company’s stock options was determined by examining the historical volatilities for industry peers, as the Company did not have any trading history for the Company’s common stock. The risk-free interest rate assumption is based on the U.S. Treasury instruments whose term was consistent with the expected term of the Company’s stock options. The expected dividend assumption is based on the Company’s history and expectation of dividend payouts. Forfeitures were estimated based on historical experience.
Non-employee stock-based compensation
The Company occasionally issues non-qualified stock options to non-employees. Such options are issued for services provided by non-employees with vesting terms commensurate with employee options. The fair values of non-employee stock options are determined using the Black-Scholes option pricing model using similar assumptions as employee options. During the years ended December 31, 2015 and 2014, the Company granted 44,000 and 30,500 options to purchase common stock to non-employees with weighted-average grant date fair values of $0.01 and $0.03 per share, respectively. Stock-based compensation to non-employees was not significant in 2015 and 2014, and was included in operating expenses.
7. Income Taxes
The Company’s provision for income taxes, included in other income (expense), net on the accompanying statements of operations, for the years ended December 31, 2015 and 2014 is as follows:
| | | | | | | | |
| | 2015 | | | 2014 | |
State | | $ | 1,256 | | | $ | 1,256 | |
Significant components of the Company’s net deferred tax assets and liabilities are as follows:
| | | | | | | | |
| | 2015 | | | 2014 | |
Deferred tax assets | | | | | | | | |
Net operating losses | | $ | 12,299,517 | | | $ | 10,462,074 | |

7. Income Taxes (continued)
Due to the Company’s lack of earnings history and cumulative losses, the net deferred tax assets have been fully offset by a valuation allowance as the Company believes it is more likely than not that the remaining deferred tax assets will not be realized.
At December 31, 2015, the Company had federal and state operating loss carryforwards of approximately $32,283,729 and $22,059,871, respectively, which will begin to expire in 2028 if not utilized. Utilization of the Company’s net operating loss credits may be subject to substantial annual limitation due to the ownership change limitations provided by the Internal Revenue Code and similar state provisions. This annual limitation may result in the expiration of net operating loss and credits before utilization.
At December 31, 2015, the Company had approximately $337,133 and $364,128 of federal and state research and development credit carryforwards, respectively, available to offset future taxable income. If research and development credits are not utilized, the federal credit will begin to expire in 2029. The state research and development credits can be carried forward indefinitely.
At December 31, 2015, the Company has recorded a reserve for uncertain tax positions totaling $168,567 for federal and $182,064 for state research and development credits carryforwards through 2015. The research and development credit reserve is a reduction to the deferred tax assets, which is currently offset by a full valuation allowance. No adjustments to the liability for the uncertain tax position have been made due to the full valuation allowance.
Accrued interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits are classified as income tax expense and were immaterial. The Company files income tax returns in the United States and various states. As of December 31, 2015, all tax years from 2013 through 2015 remain open in most jurisdictions. The Company is not currently under examination by income tax authorities in federal or state jurisdictions.
Although the timing of resolution and closure of audits is highly uncertain, the Company does not believe it is reasonably possible that the unrecognized tax benefits would materially change in the next twelve months.
8. Commitments and Contingencies
Lease commitments
In August 2012, the Company entered into a new sublease agreement with a corporation to rent office space through September 2016 at $26,000 per month. In September 2016, the lease was extended through October 31, 2016 under the same terms. The Company is currently negotiating a new lease arrangement.
Rent expense under the Company’s leases for the years ended December 31, 2015 and 2014 was $386,668 and $299,265, respectively.
9. Related Party
The Company had a consulting agreement with one of its directors whereby the director provided management advisory services for a fee of $2,250 per month. The arrangement was in effect since October 16, 2007 through January 31, 2016.
17
10. Employee Benefits
Effective January 1, 2010, the Company adopted its 401(k) Plan. Under this Plan, eligible employees are allowed to defer up to 100% of their compensation, not to exceed the maximum annual contribution permitted by IRS regulations. The Company does not match employee contributions.
11. Subsequent Events
Management evaluated subsequent events for possible impact on the financial statements, including notes to these financial statements through January 12, 2017, the date the financial statements were available for issuance.
Through September 2016, the Company issued various convertible promissory notes payable to preferred stockholders totaling $2,940,000. The notes accrued interest at 6% per annum with twelve month maturities. In March 2016, the maturity dates were subsequently extended to various dates in October and December 2017. The notes were convertible into shares of the Company’s preferred stock in the event the Company issued and sold shares of preferred stock prior to the maturity date of the notes in a qualified financing (excluding the conversion of the notes), as defined in the note agreements. The conversion price of the notes was equal to the lowest price paid for the shares issued by the Company in the qualified financing.
During October 2016, the Company issued short-term bridge notes payable to members of management totaling $177,500, and deferred salaries of certain members of management totaling approximately $180,000.
On October 31, 2016, the Company consummated a reverse triangular merger with a wholly owned subsidiary of PRGX USA, Inc., a subsidiary of PRGX Global, Inc. (collectively “PRGX”), whereby the Company continued as the surviving entity, as a wholly owned subsidiary of PRGX USA, Inc., in exchange for cash consideration of $4,250,000. The merger consideration is subject to customary working capital adjustments and contingent cash earnout consideration based upon revenue received from SIM services by PRGX and its subsidiaries, including the Company, through December 31, 2018.
Immediately prior to closing of the merger, outstanding convertible notes payable of the Company totaling $6,940,000 plus accrued interest totaling approximately $360,000 converted into shares of Series AC preferred stock.
No other subsequent events occurred that would have a material effect on the presentation of the Company’s financial statements.
