Notes to Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Financial Information
Note 1. Basis of presentation
The Pro Forma Financial Statements are derived from the historical financial statements of BurgerFi and Hot Air to give effect to the Transaction with Hot Air. The Pro Forma Statements of Operations for the year ended December 31, 2020 and the six months ended June 30, 2021 give effect to the Transaction as if it had occurred on January 1, 2020. The Pro Forma Statement of Operations for the year ended December 31, 2020 also gives effect to the OPES Merger as if it had occurred on January 1, 2020. The Pro Forma Balance Sheet as of June 30, 2021 gives effect to the Transaction as if it had occurred on June 30, 2021.
Hot Air’s fiscal year ends on the Monday closest to December 31. The Hot Air consolidated balance sheet presented herein is as of July 5, 2021. The Hot Air consolidated statements of operations presented herein are for the interim period from January 5, 2021 to July 5, 2021 and for the fiscal year from December 31, 2019 to January 4, 2021 (a 53-week period). The revenue and income for these fiscal periods are not materially different from what would be reported for the fiscal periods used by BurgerFi.
The Pro Forma Financial Statements have been prepared using the acquisition method of accounting for business combinations under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”). The acquisition method of accounting is dependent upon certain valuations and other studies that are pending. The final determination of fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed could result in material changes to the Pro Forma Financial Statements.
In order to prepare the Pro Forma Financial Statements, BurgerFi performed a preliminary review of Hot Air accounting policies to identify significant differences from BurgerFi’s accounting policies used to prepare BurgerFi’s historical financial statements and no significant differences were noted. BurgerFi will conduct an additional review of Hot Air’s accounting policies to determine if differences in accounting policies require further adjustment or reclassification of Hot Air’s results of operations, assets or liabilities to conform to BurgerFi’s accounting policies and classifications. As a result of that review, BurgerFi may identify additional differences between the accounting policies of the two companies that, when conformed, could have a material impact on its future consolidated financial statements.
The Pro Forma Financial Statements are preliminary, provided for illustrative purposes only and do not purport to represent what the combined Company’s actual consolidated results of operations or consolidated financial position would have been had the Transaction occurred on the date assumed, nor are they indicative of the combined Company’s future consolidated results of operations or financial position. The actual results reported in periods following the Transaction may differ significantly from those reflected in these Pro Forma Financial Statements for a number of reasons, including, but not limited to, differences between the assumptions used to prepare these Pro Forma Financial Statements and actual amounts, cost savings or associated costs to achieve such savings from operating efficiencies, synergies, debt refinancing, or other restructuring that may result from the Transaction.
As a result of the OPES Merger, BurgerFi’s historical financial statement presentation for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2020 distinguished BurgerFi’s financial performance into two distinct periods, the period up to the closing date of the OPES Merger (labeled “Predecessor” in BurgerFi’s historical financial reporting for the year ended December 31, 2020, which included the period from January 1, 2020 through December 15, 2020) and the period including and after that date (labeled “Successor” in BurgerFi’s historical financial reporting for the year ended December 31, 2020, which included the period from December 16, 2020 through December 31, 2020). For purposes of reporting on the Pro Forma Statement of Operations for the year ended December 31, 2020, the financial performance of both respective periods has been combined and presented cumulatively herein as the combined BurgerFi Statement of Operations for the year ended December 31, 2020. The historical LLC equity structure of BurgerFi for the Predecessor period did not include outstanding member units and as such, earnings per share information for the year ended December 31, 2020 only includes the Successor period.
