SUMMARY OF ACCOUNTING POLICIES | 2. SUMMARY OF ACCOUNTING POLICIES Basis of Presentation —The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP for interim financial statements and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting of only normal recurring adjustments, considered necessary for fair presentation have been included. The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries. Intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto included in Focus Inc.’s final prospectus dated July 25, 2018, as filed with the SEC on July 27, 2018 (the “Final Prospectus”). Operating results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2018. Use of Estimates —The preparation of the unaudited condensed consolidated 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 financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Revenue Recognition— Wealth Management Fees —The Company, solely through its subsidiaries, recognizes revenue from wealth management fees, which are primarily comprised of fees earned for advising on the assets of clients, financial and tax planning fees, consulting fees, tax return preparation fees, fees for family office services, and fees for wealth management and operational support services provided to third‑party wealth management firms. Client arrangements may contain a single or multiple performance obligations, each of which are separately identifiable and accounted for as the related services are provided and consumed over time. Fees are primarily based either on a contractual percentage of the client’s assets, a flat fee, an hourly rate or a combination of such fees and are billed either in advance or arrears on a monthly, quarterly, or semiannual basis and such fees earned as the services are performed over time. Revenue for wealth management and operational support services provided to third‑party wealth management firms is presented net since these services are performed in an agent capacity. Wealth management fees are recorded when: (i) an arrangement with a client has been identified, (ii) the performance obligations have been identified, (iii) the fee or other transaction price has been determined; (iv) the fee or other transaction price has been allocated to each performance obligation; and (v) the Company has satisfied the applicable performance obligation. Other —Other revenue primarily includes fees earned for recordkeeping and administration services provided to employee benefit plans as well as commissions and distribution fees. Client arrangements may contain a single or multiple performance obligations, each of which are separately identifiable and accounted for as the related services are provided and consumed over time. Recordkeeping and administration revenue, in accordance with the same five criteria above, is recognized over the period in which services are provided. Commissions and distribution fees, in accordance with the same five criteria above, are recognized when earned. Deferred Revenue —Fees collected in advance are deferred and recognized in revenue over the period earned with the unrecognized portion of fees collected in advance recorded as deferred revenue in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. The Company disaggregates revenue based on the above two categories. The Company does not allocate revenue by the type of service provided in connection with providing holistic wealth management client services. The Company generally manages its business based on the operating results of the enterprise taken as a whole, not by geographic region. The following table disaggregates the revenues based on the location of the partner firm that generates the revenues and therefore may not be reflective of the geography in which clients are located. Three Months Ended June 30, Six Months Ended June 30, 2017 2018 2017 2018 Domestic revenue $ 152,789 $ 225,894 $ 284,263 $ 416,519 International revenue 4,441 5,541 8,513 11,145 Total revenue $ 157,230 $ 231,435 $ 292,776 $ 427,664 Segment Reporting —Management has determined that the Company operates in one operating segment, as a wealth management focused organization, which is consistent with our structure and how we manage the business. The Company’s acquired businesses have similar economic and business characteristics. The services provided are wealth management related and our businesses are subject to a similar regulatory framework. Furthermore, the Company’s Chief Operating Decision Maker, which is the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, monitors and reviews financial information at a consolidated level for assessing operating results and the allocation of resources. Income Taxes —On December 22, 2017, the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (the “Tax Act”) was enacted. Among other things, the Tax Act reduced the U.S. federal corporate income tax rate from a maximum rate of 35%, to a flat rate of 21%, effective January 1, 2018. The Company is principally structured as a limited liability company treated as a partnership for U.S. income tax purposes and therefore does not pay income taxes on its taxable income in most jurisdictions in which it operates. The Company is subject to income taxes on its taxable income in certain foreign countries, in certain state and local jurisdictions that impose income taxes on partnerships, such as the New York City Unincorporated Business Tax, and on the taxable income of its U.S. corporate subsidiaries. The Company’s income tax expense for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018 reflects the reduction in the U.S. corporate income tax rate imposed on its U.S. corporate subsidiaries. The Tax Act also requires companies to pay a one‑time repatriation tax on previously unremitted earnings of certain non‑U.S. corporate subsidiaries. All of the Company’s operations outside the U.S. are conducted by entities that are either disregarded entities or partnerships for U.S. income tax purposes, and, as a result, the deemed repatriation transition tax does not apply to these entities or their earnings. In accordance with the guidance provided by Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 118 (“SAB No. 118”), the Company recognized an income tax benefit of $2,653 for the year ended December 31, 2017 related to the remeasurement of its U.S. corporate deferred tax assets and liabilities. The Company has completed its assessment of the impact of the Tax Act and no measurement period adjustments, as permitted under SAB No. 118, are expected. Recent Accounting Pronouncements —In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2014‑09, “ Revenue from Contracts with Customers”, which requires an entity to recognize the amount of revenue to which it expects to be entitled for the transfer of promised goods or services to customers. In August 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015‑14, “ Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Deferral of Effective Date.” ASU No. 2015‑14 defers the effective date of ASU No. 2014‑09 by one year for public companies. ASU No. 2015‑14 applies to annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim reporting periods within that reporting period. ASU No. 2014‑09 replaced most existing revenue recognition guidance in U.S. GAAP when it became effective for the Company on January 1, 2018. The standard permits the use of either the retrospective or modified retrospective transition method. Additionally, ASU No. 2014‑09 requires enhanced disclosures, including revenue recognition policies to identify performance obligations to customers and significant judgments in measurement and recognition. The Company adopted ASU No. 2014‑09 using the retrospective transition method. The adoption of ASU No. 2014‑09 did not have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements and no adjustments were required to prior periods because there were no changes to the Company’s recognition of revenues or presentation of revenues in the consolidated statements of operations. In January 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016‑01, “ Financial Instruments—Overall (Subtopic 825‑10): Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities ”. The amendments in this update address certain aspects of recognition, measurement, presentation and disclosure of financial instruments. ASU 2016‑01 was effective for the Company beginning January 1, 2018. The adoption of ASU No. 2016‑01 did not have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements. In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016‑02, “ Leases (Topic 842) ” and in July 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-10 "Codification Improvements to Topic 842, Leases" and ASU 2018-11 "Leases (Topic 842) Targeted Improvements" (collectively "ASC Topic 842"). ASC Topic 842 requires lessees to put most leases on their balance sheets but recognize the expenses on their income statements in a manner similar to current practice. ASC Topic 842 states that a lessee would recognize a lease liability for the obligation to make lease payments and a right‑to‑use asset for the right to use the underlying asset for the lease term. ASC Topic 842 is effective for the Company for interim and annual periods beginning January 1, 2019 and early adoption is permitted. We expect that most of the Company’s operating lease commitments will be subject to ASC Topic 842 and recognized as operating lease liabilities and right of use assets upon adoption, resulting in a significant increase in assets and liabilities on the consolidated balance sheet. We are continuing our assessment of ASC Topic 842 which may identify additional impacts that ASC Topic 842 will have on the Company’s consolidated financial statements and disclosures. In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016‑09, “ Improvements to Employee Share‑Based Payment Accounting , which amends ASC Topic 718, Stock Compensation ”. The objective of this amendment is part of the FASB’s Simplification Initiative as it applies to several aspects of the accounting for share‑based payment transactions, including the income tax consequences, classification of awards as either equity or liabilities, and classification on the statement of cash flows. ASU No. 2016‑09 was effective for the Company on January 1, 2017. The adoption of ASU No. 2016‑09 did not have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements. In August 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016‑15, “ Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments ”. ASU No. 2016‑15 will make eight targeted changes to how cash receipts and cash payments are presented and classified in the statement of cash flows. The Company adopted ASU No. 2016‑15 on January 1, 2017. The adoption of ASU No. 2016‑15 did not have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements. In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017‑01, “ Business Combinations (Topic 805) Clarifying the Definition of a Business”, which amends the guidance of FASB Accounting Standards Codification Topic 805, “ Business Combinations ”, adding guidance to assist entities with evaluating whether transactions should be accounted for as acquisitions or disposals of assets or businesses. The definition of a business affects many areas of accounting including acquisitions, disposals, goodwill, and consolidation. ASU No. 2017‑01 was effective for the Company prospectively on January 1, 2018. The adoption of ASU No. 2017‑01 did not have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements. In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017‑04, “ Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment ”, which removes the second step of the goodwill impairment test that requires a hypothetical purchase price allocation. A goodwill impairment will now be the amount by which a reporting unit’s carrying value exceeds its fair value, not to exceed the carrying amount of goodwill. ASU No. 2017‑04 is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2019 and will be applied prospectively, early adoption is permitted. ASU No. 2017‑04 is not expected to have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements. In May 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017‑09, “ Compensation—Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Scope of Modification Accounting” . ASU No. 2017‑09 provides guidance that clarifies when changes to the terms or conditions of a share‑based payment award require the application of modification accounting under ASC 718. ASU No. 2017‑09 will allow for certain changes to be made to awards without accounting for them as modifications. The Company early adopted ASU No. 2017‑09 during the year ended December 31, 2017. The adoption of ASU No. 2017‑09 did not have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements. In June 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-07, “Improvements to Nonemployee Share-Based Payment Accounting”, which simplifies the accounting for share-based payments to nonemployees by aligning it with the accounting for share-based payments to employees, with certain exceptions. ASU No. 2018-07 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within that fiscal year, with early adoption permitted after adoption of ASU No. 2014-09. The Company has not yet determined the effect of ASU No. 2018-07 on its ongoing financial reporting. Subsequent Events — Initial Public Offering On July 30, 2018, Focus Inc. completed its IPO of 18,648,649 shares of its Class A common stock, par value $0.01 per share, including 2,432,432 shares of Class A common stock sold in connection with the full exercise of the option to purchase additional shares granted to the underwriters, at a price to the public of $33.00 per share. The shares began trading on the NASDAQ Global Select Market on July 26, 2018 under the ticker symbol “FOCS.” Reorganization Transactions In connection with the IPO, the Company completed the Reorganization Transactions. The equity interests in the Company at the date of the IPO consisted of convertible preferred units, common units and incentive units, each incentive unit having a hurdle amount similar to the exercise price of a stock option. The owners of Company units immediately prior to the IPO (“Existing Owners”) primarily included (i) affiliates of the Company’s private equity investors (“Private Equity Investors”), (ii) members of management of the Company, (iii) current and former principals of independent fiduciary wealth management and related businesses acquired by the Company and (iv) current and former employees of the Company. The following steps were implemented in connection with the Reorganization Transactions: · The Company purchased, utilizing existing working capital, all common units held by Existing Owners who were not accredited investors, as defined by Rule 501 of Regulation D, at a purchase price per unit equal to 1.25 times the IPO price of $33.00 per share (“Gross IPO Price”). The Company accelerated the vesting of all unvested incentive units held by Existing Owners who were not accredited investors and converted the incentive units of each such holder into a number of common units equal to (i) the number of such incentive units times the Gross IPO Price, minus the aggregate hurdle amount of such incentive units, divided by (ii) the Gross IPO Price (the “Appropriate Conversion Number”). The Company then purchased all common units issued upon such conversion at a purchase price per unit equal to 1.25 times the Gross IPO Price. The Company paid a total of $26,001 to Existing Owners who were not accredited investors. · Existing owners who were accredited investors and held fewer than 85,000 common units and incentive units in the aggregate are referred to as “Mandatorily Exchanging Owners.” The Company converted all vested and unvested incentive units of Mandatorily Exchanging Owners into the Appropriate Conversion Number of vested and unvested common units, respectively. Mandatorily Exchanging Owners were given an election to sell up to 100% of their vested common units (after giving effect to such conversion) to Focus Inc. at the Gross IPO Price less the underwriting discount (the “Net IPO Price”), subject to cut‑backs depending on the proceeds available from the IPO. The vested and unvested common units of a Mandatorily Exchanging Owner not sold were exchanged for an equal number of shares of vested Class A common stock and unvested Class A common stock of Focus Inc. Mandatorily Exchanging Owners of vested common units issued upon conversion of vested incentive units and not sold received (i) vested non‑compensatory stock options of Focus Inc. to purchase a number of shares of Class A common stock of Focus Inc. equal to (A) the number of vested incentive units that were converted into such vested common units minus (B) the number of shares of vested Class A common stock issued in such exchange and (ii) cash in an amount equal to 65% of the fair market value of such non‑compensatory stock options. Mandatorily Exchanging Owners of unvested common units issued upon conversion of unvested incentive units and not sold received unvested compensatory stock options of Focus Inc. to purchase a number of shares of Class A common stock of Focus Inc. equal to (i) the number of unvested incentive units that were converted into such unvested common units minus (ii) the number of shares of unvested Class A common stock issued in such exchange. · Existing Owners who were accredited investors and held 85,000 or more common units and incentive units in the aggregate were given an election to sell up to 100% of their vested common units and vested incentive units (after conversion into the Appropriate Conversion Number of common units) to Focus Inc. at the Net IPO Price, subject to cut‑backs depending on the proceeds available from the IPO. These Existing Owners were also given an election to exchange all or a portion of their remaining common units and incentive units for vested and unvested Class A common stock of Focus Inc. These Existing Owners continue to hold their common units and incentive units of the Company remaining after any such sale or exchange. · All outstanding convertible preferred units of direct or indirect owners of the Company’s convertible preferred units that are treated as corporations for U.S. federal income tax purposes were converted into common units on a one‑for‑one basis and each common unit was exchanged for one share of Class A common stock of Focus Inc. All outstanding convertible preferred units of direct or indirect owners of the Company’s convertible preferred units that are not treated as corporations for U.S. federal income tax purposes were converted into common units on a one‑for‑one basis and certain of these common units were exchanged for shares of Class A common stock of Focus Inc. Existing Owners who hold common units of the Company after the Reorganization Transactions received shares of Class B common stock of Focus Inc. Shares of Class B common stock do not entitle their holders to any economic rights. Holders of Class A common stock and Class B common stock of Focus Inc. will vote together as a single class on all matters presented to the shareholders of Focus Inc. for their vote or approval, except as otherwise required by applicable law. Each share of Class B common stock will entitle its holder to one vote. In connection with the Reorganization Transactions, Focus Inc. issued an aggregate of 23,881,002 shares of Class A common stock, compensatory stock options to purchase an aggregate of 386,832 shares of Class A common stock, non-compensatory stock options to purchase an aggregate of 348,577 shares of Class A common stock and an aggregate of 22,499,665 shares of Class B common stock. Due to certain post-closing adjustments, Focus Inc. cancelled 240,457 shares of Class A common stock and issued 240,457 shares of Class B common stock effective as of the closing date of the IPO. Following completion of the IPO and the Reorganization Transactions, Focus Inc. held an approximate 59.2% interest in the Company, assuming vesting of all outstanding unvested incentive units, conversion of all outstanding incentive units into 6,814,600 common units in connection with exercise of an exchange right and a then-current value of the common units equal to the $33.00 IPO price per share of Class A common stock. Use of Proceeds Focus Inc. received $564,826 of estimated net proceeds from the sale of the Class A common stock in the IPO including $74,651 in connection with the full exercise of the option to purchase additional shares granted to the underwriters . Focus Inc. used $11,137 of the net proceeds to pay Mandatorily Exchanging Owners who elected to sell their units of the Company and $24,400 to pay other Existing Owners who elected to sell their units of the Company. Focus Inc. contributed $529,289 of the net proceeds from the IPO to the Company in exchange for 17,583,947 common units of the Company. The Company used $392,535 of such contribution to reduce indebtedness under its Credit Facility (as defined below). The remaining $136,754 of such contribution will be used by the Company for acquisitions and general corporate business purposes and to pay the expenses of the IPO. Amendment to Credit Facility In June 2018, the Company entered into an amendment to its Credit Facility that became effective upon closing of the IPO. The Company’s First Lien Term Loan (as defined below) was reduced to $803,000 and was amended to reduce the Company’s interest rate to the London InterBank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) plus a margin of 2.75% or the lender’s Base Rate (as defined in the Credit Facility) plus a margin of 1.75%; provided that, from and after the later of (x) July 18, 2018 and (y) the first date on which the Company has obtained public corporate family ratings of at least Ba3 (stable) from Moody’s and BB‑ (stable) from S&P, the foregoing rates shall be reduced to LIBOR plus a margin of 2.50% or the lender’s Base Rate plus a margin of 1.50%. The Company’s First Lien Revolver (as defined below) was amended to increase the Company’s borrowing capacity to $650,000 and extend the maturity date to 5 years from the effective date of the amendment. The Company’s First Lien Revolver was also amended such that it will bear interest at LIBOR plus a margin of 2.00% with step downs to 1.75%, 1.50% and 1.25% or the lender’s Base Rate plus a margin of 1.00% with step downs to 0.75%, 0.50% and 0.25%, based on achievement of a specified First Lien Leverage Ratio (as defined in the Credit Facility). The First Lien Revolver unused commitment fee will be 0.50% with step downs to 0.375% and 0.25% based on achievement of a specified First Lien Leverage Ratio. The Company’s Credit Facility was also amended to require the Company to maintain a First Lien Leverage Ratio of not more than 6.25:1.00 instead of the prior requirement to maintain a Total Secured Leverage Ratio (as defined in the Credit Facility) of 8.85:1.00. Additionally, the Company repaid the $207,000 Second Lien Term Loan in July 2018. Tax Receivable Agreements In connection with the closing of the IPO, Focus Inc. entered into two Tax Receivable Agreements; one with certain entities affiliated with the Private Equity Investors and the other with certain other continuing and former owners of the Company (the “TRA holders”). The agreements generally provide for the payment by Focus Inc. to each TRA holder of 85% of the net cash savings, if any, in U.S. federal, state and local income and franchise tax that Focus Inc. actually realizes (computed using simplifying assumptions to address the impact of state and local taxes) or is deemed to realize in certain circumstances in periods after the IPO as a result of certain increases in tax bases and certain tax benefits attributable to imputed interest. Focus Inc. will retain the benefit of the remaining 15% of these cash savings. 2018 Omnibus Incentive Plan On July 30, 2018, the Board of Directors of Focus Inc. (the “Board”) adopted the Omnibus Plan for the employees, consultants and the directors of the Company and its affiliates who perform services for it. The Omnibus Plan provides for potential grants of the following awards with respect to shares of Focus Inc.’s Class A common stock, to the extent applicable: (i) incentive stock options qualified as such under U.S. federal income tax laws; (ii) non-qualified stock options or any other form of stock options; (iii) restricted stock awards; (iv) phantom stock awards; (v) restricted stock units; (vi) bonus stock; (vii) performance awards; (viii) annual cash incentive awards; (ix) any of the foregoing award types (other than incentive stock options) as awards related to the Company’s units; and (x) incentive units in the Company. The maximum aggregate number of shares of Focus Inc.’s Class A common stock that may be issued pursuant to awards under the Omnibus Plan shall not exceed 6,000,000 shares (including such number of the Company’s units or other securities which can be exchanged or converted into shares). The reserve pool is subject to adjustment due to recapitalization or reorganization, or related to forfeitures or the expiration of awards, as provided under the Omnibus Plan. If the shares or units subject to any award are not issued or transferred, or cease to be issuable or transferable for any reason, including (but not exclusively) because shares or units are withheld or surrendered in payment of taxes or any exercise or purchase price relating to an award or because an award is forfeited, terminated, expires unexercised, is settled in cash or is otherwise terminated without a delivery of shares or units, those shares or units will again be available for issue, transfer or exercise pursuant to awards under the Omnibus Plan to the extent allowable by law. The Omnibus Plan also contains a provision that will add an additional number of shares equal to the lesser of (a) 3,000,000 shares, (b) 5% of the outstanding (vested and unvested) shares and the Company’s units of the last day of the previous year, and (c) an amount determined by the Board, each year between 2019 and 2028. The Company has conducted a review for and evaluated subsequent events from July 1, 2018 through August 28, 2018, the date the consolidated financial statements were available to be issued. |
