2. Basis of Presentation
The pro forma financial statements were prepared using the acquisition method of accounting and based on the historical financial information of Wright and Cartiva. The acquisition method of accounting in accordance with ASC 805, “Business Combinations” (ASC 805), requires, among other things, that assets acquired and liabilities assumed in a business combination be recognized at their fair values as of the acquisition date. The acquisition method of accounting, in accordance with ASC 805, uses the fair value concepts defined in ASC 820, “Fair Value Measurement” (ASC 820). The historical consolidated financial information has been adjusted in the pro forma financial statements to give effect to pro forma events that are (1) directly attributable to the Merger, (2) factually supportable, and (3) with respect to the unaudited pro forma condensed combined statements of operations, expected to have a continuing impact on the consolidated results.
ASC 820 defines fair value, establishes the framework for measuring fair value for any asset acquired or liability assumed under U.S. GAAP, expands disclosures about fair value measurements, and specifies a hierarchy of valuation techniques based on the nature of the inputs used to develop the fair value measurements. Fair value is defined in ASC 820 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.” This is an exit price concept for the valuation of an asset or liability. Market participants are assumed to be buyers or sellers in the most advantageous market for the asset or liability. Fair value measurement for an asset assumes the highest and best use by these market participants, and as a result, assets may be required to be recorded which are not intended to be used or sold. Additionally, the fair value may not reflect Wright management’s intended use for those assets. Fair value measurements can be highly subjective and it is possible the application of reasonable judgment could develop different assumptions resulting in a range of alternative estimates using the same facts and circumstances.
Assets acquired and liabilities assumed in a business combination that arise from contingencies must be recognized at fair value if the fair value can be reasonably estimated. If the fair value of an asset or liability that arises from a contingency cannot be determined, the asset or liability would be recognized in accordance with ASC 450, “Disclosure of Certain Loss Contingencies” (ASC 450). If the fair value is not determinable and the ASC 450 criteria are not met, no asset or liability would be recognized. At this time, to the extent contingencies exist, Wright management does not have sufficient information to determine the fair value of Cartiva’s contingencies acquired. If information becomes available, which would permit Wright management to determine the fair value of these acquired contingencies, these amounts will be adjusted in accordance with ASC 820. Wright has a valuation allowance on its deferred tax assets and, for purposes of these pro forma financial statements, anticipates the provision of a valuation allowance on the deferred tax effects of the pro forma adjustments. As such, Wright expects the net impact to the pro forma financial statements to be immaterial.
The pro forma financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. These pro forma financial statements include the accounts of Cartiva presented on a calendaryear-end and Wright, which is determined on a52-week basis consisting of four13-week quarters, withyear-end falling on the Sunday nearest to December 31. Both companies had a balance sheet date of December 31, 2017 and September 30, 2018. However, the 2017 fiscal period began on December 26, 2016 for Wright and January 1, 2017 for Cartiva. There were no material intervening events that occurred involving the two entities between December 26, 2016 and January 1, 2017.
