W.S. BADCOCK LLC (f/k/a W.S. Badcock Corporation)
Notes to Unaudited Financial Statements
(1) Organization and Significant Accounting Policies
Description of Business. On December 8, 2023, W.S. Badcock Corporation converted from a corporation to a limited liability company and was thereby renamed W.S. Badcock LLC (the “Company”, "Badcock", or "our"). The Company is a retailer of furniture, appliances, bedding, electronics, home office equipment, accessories and seasonal items in a showroom format. Additionally, Badcock offers multiple and flexible payment solutions and credit options through third parties and its consumer financing services. On November 21, 2021, Franchise Group Inc. ("FRG" or “Parent”) purchased 100% of the Class A common stock and Class B common stock from the former owners of W.S. Badcock Corporation (the "Badcock Acquisition").
In the opinion of management, all adjustments (including those of a normal recurring nature) necessary for a fair presentation of such financial statements in accordance with GAAP have been recorded. The December 31, 2022 balance sheet information was derived from the audited financial statements as of that date.
Franchise Group, Inc. Merger
On August 21, 2023, Franchise Group, Inc. completed certain transactions, including being acquired by Freedom VCM Holdings, LLC, contemplated by an Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of May 10, 2023. The merger met the definition of a business combination in accordance with ASC 805, “Business Combinations”. As a result, the assets acquired and the liabilities of the Company were remeasured at fair value on August 21, 2023 (the "Freedom Acquisition"). The Company elected the accounting policy option as allowed under ASC 805 to apply pushdown accounting in their separate financial statements after this change-in-control event.
Fair value option (FVO) - Successor Period Election
ASC 825-10, Financial Instruments, provides FVO election that allows companies an irrevocable election to use fair value as the initial and subsequent accounting measurement attribute for certain financial assets and liabilities. ASC 825-10 permits entities to elect to measure eligible financial assets and liabilities at fair value on an ongoing basis. Unrealized gains and losses on items for which the FVO has been elected are reported in earnings. The decision to elect the FVO is determined on an instrument-by-instrument basis, must be applied to an entire instrument and is irrevocable once elected. Assets and liabilities measured at fair value pursuant to ASC 825-10 are required to be reported separately from those instruments measured using another accounting method. In accordance with the options presented in ASC 825-10, the Company elected to present its current and non-current liabilities debt secured by accounts receivable beginning on August 21, 2023 when the Company’s assets and liabilities were remeasured as part of the Freedom Acquisition. The Freedom Acquisition was a remeasurement event which created an election date for the FVO as discussed in paragraph 825-10-25-4(e). Management believes the reporting of these liabilities at fair value method closely approximates the true economics of the agreement. The Company will record the gains or losses from the changes in fair value of the liabilities within Interest expense, net in the Statements of Operations.
See "Note 1 - Organization and Significant Accounting Policies" in the financial statements for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022 for accounting policy of the measurement of the current and non-current liabilities debt secured by accounts receivable for the Predecessor period when FVO was not elected.
Sale-Leaseback Transactions
In the nine months ended September 24, 2022, the Company sold a number of its retail locations, distribution centers, and its corporate headquarters for a total of $265.8 million, resulting in a net gain of $59.2 million, comprised of $64.7 million of gains and $5.5 million of losses. Contemporaneously with these sales, the Company entered into lease agreements pursuant to which the Company leased back the retail locations, distribution centers, and corporate headquarters, all of which are being accounted for as operating leases. The net gain has been recognized as "Gain on sale-leaseback transactions, net" on the Statements of Operations for the nine months ended September 24, 2022.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements Adopted
In June 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2016-13, “Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments,” ("ASC 326"), which changes how companies measure credit losses for most financial assets and certain other instruments that aren’t measured at fair value through net income. The standard replaces the “incurred loss” approach with an “expected loss” model for instruments measured at amortized cost (which generally will result in the earlier recognition of allowances for losses) and requires companies to record allowances for available-for-sale debt securities, rather than reduce the carrying amount. In addition, companies will have to disclose significantly more information, including information used to track credit quality by year of origination, for most financing receivables.
Effective January 1, 2023, the Company adopted ASU 2016-13 and applied a cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings. The Company has reviewed its entire portfolio of assets recognized on the balance sheet as of December 31, 2022 and identified customer receivables and securitized receivables as the materially impacted assets within the scope of ASC 326. Upon adoption of ASC 326 the Company recorded a net decrease to retained earnings of $10.0 million as of January 1, 2023. Prior period amounts were not adjusted and will continue to be reported under the previous accounting standards.
The cumulative effect of the changes made to the Company’s Balance Sheet as a result of the adoption of ASC 326 were as follows:

The consideration allocated to Badcock as part of the Freedom Acquisition equals the fair value of the net assets above.

The non-current allowance for credit losses was deemed immaterial for both periods presented.
(4) Securitized Accounts Receivable
In order to monetize its customer credit receivables portfolio, Badcock sells beneficial interests in customer revolving lines of credit pursuant to securitization transactions. The Company securitized $346.2 million of its customer credit receivables portfolio for cash of $298.9 million during the nine months ended September 24, 2022. The Company securitized $161.1 million of its customer credit receivables portfolio for cash of $133.4 million during the period January 1, 2023 through August 21, 2023. The Company securitized an additional $162.1 million of its customer credit receivables portfolio for cash of $113.5 million with a related party, B. Riley Receivables II LLC (a wholly-owned subsidiary of Freedom VCM Holdings, LLC), during the period August 22, 2023 through September 30, 2023.
When securitized receivables are delinquent for approximately one year, the estimated uncollectible amount from the customer is written off and the corresponding securitized accounts receivable is reduced. Financial instruments that could potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist of accounts receivable with its customers. The Company manages
such risk by managing the customer accounts receivable portfolio using delinquency as a key credit quality indicator. Management believes the allowance is adequate to cover the Company’s credit loss exposure.
