Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)
(1) | Nature of Business |
SBBT Holdings, LLC (the Company) is a Delaware limited liability company formed on December 30, 2009. The Company is the holder of all of the Common Units of its subsidiaries, Santa Barbara Tax Products Group, LLC (referred to as SBTPG), which is a Delaware limited liability company formed on December 28, 2009 and TPG Financial Services, LLC (referred to as TPG Financial Services), which is a Delaware limited liability company formed on April 12, 2011.
SBTPG, in partnership with multiple banks, provides tax refund processing and funds transfer services for the tax preparation industry, in order to facilitate the receipt of funds from the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) and states with regard to tax refunds due to individuals. SBTPG offers products in all 50 states and Puerto Rico through tax professionals as well as through online software providers. SBTPG manages the day‑to‑day operations to facilitate the payments and transfers between the taxpayer, the IRS, the tax preparation firm, the bank, and SBTPG. These services include automated clearing house (ACH) transactions, check processing, account setup, administration of customer sales and marketing, and customer service (call center) activities.

TPG Financial Services provides short-term loans to tax preparers and enrolled agent customers of SBTPG collateralized by the preparers or agents tax return preparation fees.
(2) | Summary of Significant Accounting Policies |
The significant accounting policies are set forth below:
(a) | Basis of Presentation and Consolidation |
The accompanying consolidated financial statements are presented on the accrual basis of accounting in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (U.S. GAAP). The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and SBTPG, its wholly owned subsidiary. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
(a) | Use of Estimates |
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could materially differ from these estimates. Significant items subject to such estimates and assumptions include the useful lives of property and equipment and the valuation of property and equipment, intangible assets, and share‑based compensation.
(b) | Cash and Cash Equivalents |
Cash and cash equivalents are defined as cash on hand and in banks plus all short‑term highly liquid investments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less.

(2) | Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued) |
(c) | Prepaid Expenses and Other Assets |
Prepaid expenses and other assets consist primarily of prepaid expenses which are amortized over the period of benefit on a straight-line basis, as well as operating lease deposits at cost.
(d) | Accounts and Other Receivables |
Accounts and other receivables primarily consist of refund transfer and related fees earned. Management reviews accounts receivable on a monthly basis to determine if any receivable will potentially be uncollectible. The Company includes any accounts receivable balances that are determined to be uncollectible, along with a general reserve, if necessary, in its overall allowance for doubtful accounts. After all attempts to collect a receivable have failed, the receivable is written off against the allowance. Management has determined that no allowance for doubtful accounts was needed at September 30, 2014 or June 30, 2014.
(e) | Property and Equipment |
Property and equipment are stated at cost. Major renewals and betterments are capitalized while replacements, maintenance, and repairs that do not extend the life of the respective assets are charged to expense as incurred. Property and equipment are depreciated using the straight‑line method over their estimated useful lives. Leasehold improvements are depreciated over the shorter of the lease term or estimated useful life of the respective asset (Note 5).
(f) | Intangible Assets |
Intangible assets consist of acquired assets with finite lives (Note 4). Costs of intangible assets with finite useful lives are amortized on the straight‑line basis over their estimated useful lives.
(g) | Impairment of Long‑Lived Assets |
Long‑lived assets, such as property and equipment, and acquired intangible assets subject to amortization, are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. If circumstances require a long‑lived asset or asset group be tested for possible impairment, the Company first compares undiscounted cash flows expected to be generated by that asset or asset group to its carrying value. If the carrying value of the long‑lived asset or asset group is not recoverable on an undiscounted cash flow basis, impairment is recognized to the extent that the carrying value exceeds its fair value. Fair value is determined through various valuation techniques including discounted cash flow models, quoted market values, and third‑party independent appraisals, as considered necessary. At September 30, 2014 and June 30, 2014, no impairment in long‑lived assets has been identified.
(h) | Revenue Recognition |
Revenue from RT fees is presented net of transaction-based fees and is recognized as earned when customer tax return refunds are paid to the taxpayer after being received from the IRS or state taxing authorities.
(i) | Income Taxes |
The Company is organized as a limited liability company, which is treated as a partnership for federal and state income tax purposes. The Company’s taxable income or loss is reportable by its members.

(2) | Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued) |
Although the Company is not subject to federal income tax, the Company operates in certain state and local jurisdictions that assess taxes on the Company, rather than on its members.
The Company applies the authoritative guidance related to the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes. The Company has concluded that there is no impact related to uncertain tax positions, and as such, has no liability for uncertain tax positions. The United States of America is the major tax jurisdiction for the Company. Management believes the Company remains subject to income tax examinations for all fiscal years since inception.
(j) | Members’ Capital |
The Limited Liability Company Agreement of SBBT Holdings, LLC (the Agreement) created three classes of membership interests in unit increments including Preferred Units, Common Units, and Incentive Units. The board of directors is authorized to issue as many Common Units and Incentive Units as it deems necessary, and up to 3,840 Series A Preferred Units. There are 4,209.750 Common Units and 786.961 Incentive Units currently authorized by the Agreement. There were no outstanding preferred units as of September 30, 2014 and June 30, 2014.
The three classes of units have the following characteristics:
Redemption/Conversion – The Company has the right to repurchase forfeited or unvested Common Units upon a forfeiture event, as defined, equal to the issue price, if any. The Company also has the right to repurchase earned or vested Common Units upon a forfeiture event, as defined, equal to the fair market value as of the date of such forfeiture event. Common Unit holders earn the right to full ownership of the units over a specified service period, if any. All unvested Common Units have the same rights as Common Units until forfeiture.
Preferred Units are not convertible into Common Units and are redeemable at the option of the Company. Incentive Units are not convertible into Common Units and are not redeemable at the option of the Company, except upon a forfeiture event, as defined.
Forfeitures – Incentive Units are forfeited upon certain forfeiture events. Restricted Common Units can be repurchased by the Company at issue price for unearned restricted Common Units or fair market value for earned restricted Common Units; both upon certain forfeiture events.
Distributions – Holders of the Series A Preferred Units are entitled to a preferred return that accrues daily at an annual rate of 12% of the value of their preferred holdings. The full preferred return amount compounds on an annual basis to the extent it remains unpaid. Next, distributions are made to return Preferred Unit capital of $1,000 per unit. After making the required distributions to holders of the Series A Preferred Units, distributions may be made to the holders of Common Units and the eligible holders of Incentive Units pro rata based on the aggregate number of Common Units and Incentive Units outstanding at the time of such distribution.

(2) | Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued) |
(k) Members’ Capital (Continued)
Profits and Losses – The Agreement stipulates that profits be allocated first to the Series A Preferred Members on a pro rata basis based on the cumulative preferred return earned, then allocated to the Common Members and the Incentive Members based on the aggregate number of Common Units and eligible Incentive Units held. Losses are allocated first to the Common Members on a pro rata basis based on the number of units held until their capital accounts are reduced to zero. Any remaining losses are then allocated to the Series A Preferred Members on a pro rata basis. All items of income, gain, loss, and deduction for federal, state, and local income tax purposes are allocated in the same manner.
Preemptive Rights – Each Common Unit holder has the right to purchase any offered non-restricted Common Units prior to offering the units to others.
Transfers – Holders of units are subject to agreement provisions including a right of first offer by the Company, among other transfer rights and restrictions. The Company has the specific right to repurchase in part or in whole on a pro rata basis the Series A Preferred Units.
Voting – Holders of Series A Preferred Units and Incentive Units do not have the right to vote. The holders of Common Units shall vote as a combined class on all matters.
Liquidation – The holders of Series A Preferred Units shall have liquidation preference over the holders of Incentive and Common Units. In the event of any complete liquidation, dissolution, or winding‑up of the Company, the holders of Series A Preferred Units shall be entitled to receive a sum equal to the original issue price plus the amount of any preferred returns unpaid before any distribution shall be made to the holders of Common Units and Incentive Units. Any remaining proceeds are to be distributed among the holders of Common Units and Incentive Units on a pro rata basis.
(k) | Share-Based Compensation |
The Company recognizes as compensation expense the value at grant date of all equity-based awards, including Incentive and Common Units and warrants, granted to employees and directors in exchange for services over the related service (vesting) period.
The Company estimates the value of its share-based compensation related to its Common Units by considering the Company’s recent equity transactions and performing a discounted further cash flow analysis of the Company.
The Company estimates the value of its share-based compensation related to its Incentive Units and warrants using the calculated value method. The calculated value method permits certain nonpublic companies which do not have sufficient information available regarding the expected volatility of their share price to account for equity-based awards and similar instruments using the historical volatility of an appropriate industry sector index or comparable public company it believes would be representative of its own position in the market, as a substitute for the expected volatility of its own share (unit) price. In calculating the value of its warrants, the Company uses the historical volatility of a company for the historical period equal to the expected term of the warrants granted.

(l) | Concentrations |
The Company continually monitors its positions with, and the credit quality of, the financial institutions with which it invests. Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentration of credit risk consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents. The Company maintains its cash in institutional deposit accounts, primarily at one financial institution, which at times may exceed federally insured limits. No losses have been experienced related to such accounts.
(m) | Subsequent Events |
On September 18, 2014, the Company entered into a definitive agreement to be acquired by Green Dot Corporation for approximately $320 million in cash and common stock, plus additional contingent consideration. On October 23, 2014, the Company completed this merger and consummated its sale to Green Dot Corporation.
(3) | Fee Advance and Loan Program |
During the fiscal year ended June 30, 2014, the Company made available a Fee Advance and Loan Program that consisted of revolving short-term loans to its tax preparer and enrolled agent customers collateralized by their clients’ tax return preparation fees.

During the fiscal year 2014, the Company advanced a total of $42,510,697 to the tax preparers and enrolled agents in the program. Of these amounts, $23,088,924 were funded through the aforementioned credit facilities during the fiscal year 2014. All amounts funded under the program were fully collected, and no amounts were outstanding as of June 30, 2014.
