The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information includes pro forma adjustments that are (1) directly attributable to the Acquisitions, (2) factually supportable, and (3) with respect to the unaudited pro forma condensed combined statements of income, expected to have a continuing impact on the operating results of the combined company.
The Acquisitions are accounted for as a business combination using the acquisition method of accounting under ASC Topic 805, Business Combinations. Under the acquisition method of accounting, the purchase price is allocated to the underlying tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their respective fair values at the date of acquisition, with any excess purchase price allocated to goodwill. To date, the Company has made a preliminary allocation of the purchase price to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed in the Acquisitions, and will complete the allocation of such purchase price as further information becomes available. The final purchase price allocation may differ from that reflected in the following unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements, and these differences may be material.
The unaudited pro forma condensed combined statements of income for the twelve months ended December 31, 2020 assumes that the Acquisitions occurred on January 1, 2020.
The pro forma adjustments reported in these financial statements are based upon available information and certain assumptions that the Company’s management believes are reasonable. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information is presented for informational purposes only and is not intended to represent or be indicative of what the results of operations or financial condition would have been had the Transactions actually occurred on the dates indicated, nor is it meant to be indicative of future results of operations or financial condition for any future period or as of any future date. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information of the Combined Company should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements of Automotive as of and for the year ended December 31, 2020 and the audited combined and consolidated financial statements of the Acquisitions as of December 31, 2020.

The Company incurred approximately $486,000 in acquisition costs, which were recognized in selling, general and administrative expense within the pro forma condensed combined statement of operations.
| 3. | Purchase Price Allocation |
The following table summarizes the allocation of the total consideration to the tangible and intangible assets acquired and the liabilities assumed based on the respective fair values at the acquisition date. The Company is still reviewing fair values of the assets acquired and the liabilities assumed, including the noncontrolling interests as being provisional. Therefore, the fair values are provisional measurements and may be subject to change.

The final purchase price allocation will be determined once the Company has completed the detailed valuations and necessary calculations related to the Acquisitions.
The estimated fair values of assets acquired and liabilities assumed were based upon preliminary analysis performed for the preparation of the pro forma financial information and are subject to the final valuations that are in the process of being completed and finalized. These estimates and assumptions are subject to change within the measurement period as additional information is obtained. A decrease in the fair value of the assets acquired or liabilities assumed in the Acquisitions from the preliminary valuations presented would result in a dollar-for-dollar corresponding increase in the amount of goodwill resulting from the Acquisitions. In addition, if the value of the property and equipment and other intangible assets is higher than the amount included in these unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements, it may result in higher depreciation and amortization expense than is presented herein. Any such increases could be material, and could result in the Company’s actual future financial condition or results of operations differing materially from that presented herein. As a result, the final purchase price allocation may differ materially from the preliminary purchase price allocation.
The fair value of the franchise rights was based on the excess earnings method. The fair value of the tradename was based on the relief from royalty method. The franchise rights and tradename are indefinite lived assets and not subject to amortization.
The excess of the consideration transferred in the acquisition over the net amounts assigned to the fair value of the tangible assets and identifiable intangible assets acquired was recorded as goodwill, which is attributable primarily to expected synergies and an assembled workforce. Total goodwill is expected to be deductible for tax purposes.
Beckley Acquisition
As a result of the Beckley Acquisitions, the Company issued noncontrolling interests in two of its wholly-owned subsidiaries, LMP Beckley 001 Holdings, LLC (“001”) and LMP Beckley 002 Holdings, LLC (“002”), to the sellers of the Beckley Acquisitions. The noncontrolling interests represent 15% of the outstanding equity interests of 001 and 002 and totaled $2.2 million as of January 1, 2020. There were no changes in the outstanding equity interests of 001 and 002 from the Beckley Acquisition through December 31, 2020.
The sellers and the Company agreed to both put options exercisable by the noncontrolling interest holders and call options exercisable by Automotive for the remaining 15% minority interest based on a formulaic approach. In order to appropriately account for the classification of the redeemable noncontrolling interest outside of the permanent equity, an evaluation of the contracts and ASC 480 and ASC 815 was performed. As the put option is outside of the Company’s control, the estimated redemption value of the minority interest is presented as a redeemable noncontrolling interest outside of permanent equity on the pro forma condensed combined balance sheet. As of December 31, 2020, the redemption value of the 15% noncontrolling interests was $7.1 million, based on the contractually-defined redemption values as of the balance sheet date.
The Company allocates income and losses to the noncontrolling interest holders based on the applicable membership interest percentage. At each reporting period, the redeemable noncontrolling interests are recognized at the higher of (1) the initial carrying amounts of the noncontrolling interests as adjusted for accumulated income or loss attributable to the noncontrolling interest holders, or (2) the contractually-defined redemption values as of the balance sheet date, as long as the contractually-defined redemption values exceed the initial amounts of the noncontrolling interests. If the contractually-defined redemption values exceed the carrying amounts of noncontrolling interests as adjusted for accumulated income or loss attributable to noncontrolling interests holders, but not the initial amounts of the noncontrolling interests, the noncontrolling interests are recorded at the initial amounts. Adjustments to the carrying amount of redeemable noncontrolling interests are charged against retained earnings (or additional paid-in capital if there are no retained earnings).
The components of redeemable noncontrolling interests for the twelve months ended December 31, 2020 are as follows:
Beginning balance | | $ | - | |
Noncontrolling interests issued in connection with Beckley Acquisition | | | 2,164,000 | |
Net income attributable to noncontrolling interests | | | 1,299,295 | |
Adjustments to redemption value | | | 3,617,310 | |
Ending balance | | $ | 7,080,605 | |
A reconciliation of pro forma shareholders’ equity attributable to Automotive’s shareholders’ equity attributable to noncontrolling interests, and total shareholders’ equity as of December 31, 2020 is as follows:
Pro forma shareholders’ equity attributable to Automotive | | $ | 66,686,234 | |
Pro forma shareholders’ equity attributable to noncontrolling interests | | | 7,080,605 | |
Total pro forma shareholders’ equity | | $ | 73,766,839 | |
As of December 31, 2019, there was no shareholders’ equity attributable to noncontrolling interests.
Fuccillo Acquisition
Concurrent with the Fuccillo acquisition, the Company sold 15% of the equity interests in the dealership divisions of the dealerships acquired in the Fuccillo Acquisition to entities owned by certain members of the dealerships’ management, in exchange for cash of $550,000 and promissory notes of $3.3 million. The notes mature in 7 years, bear interest at 5% annually and can be prepaid at any time without penalty. The notes are secured by the equity interests and are without recourse. For accounting purposes, the purchase of the equity interests with nonrecourse notes is accounted for as liabilities in accordance with ASC 710, Compensation - General.
Related agreements were also executed which allow for the Company’s subsidiaries to repurchase the 15% equity interests at any time and provide that the interest holders can put the equity interests to the Company’s subsidiaries upon termination of employment of the interest holders’ owners. The repurchase and call price is computed based on a book value formula defined in the related agreements.
The Company is accounting for this arrangement as deferred compensation, and at December 31, 2020 has recognized a liability which represents the computed purchase price less the outstanding principal and interest owed on the nonrecourse notes of $2.3 million and is included in deferred compensation liability in the accompanying pro forma condensed combined balance sheet. The Company recorded compensation expense of $1.8 million for the twelve months ended December 31, 2020 associated with this arrangement which is included in selling, general and administrative expense in the pro forma condensed combined statement of operations.
Management of the Company is currently in the process of conducting a more detailed review of accounting policies used in the historical financial statements of Acquisitions to determine if differences in accounting policies require any further reclassification to conform to the Company’s accounting policies and classifications. As a result, we may identify additional differences between the accounting policies of the Acquisitions that, when conformed, could have a material impact on these unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements.
The pro forma adjustments set forth in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information reflect the following:
| a. | In February 2021, the Company issued 20,100 shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock in exchange for proceeds of approximately $20.1 million ($18.6 million, net) and warrants to purchase up to 861,429 shares of common stock at a strike price of $21.00 pursuant to a securities purchase agreement. For purposes of the unaudited pro forma combined financial statements, it is assumed this transaction occurred on January 1, 2020. |
| b. | Recording the fair value of the warrant liability as of January 1, 2020. The Company has not reflected an adjustment for fair value of the warrant liability in the pro forma statement of operations for the period ended December 31, 2020. |
| c. | The preliminary estimate of fair value land, franchise rights, trade names and goodwill arising from the Acquisitions. |
| d. | Use/elimination of deposits held in escrow related to the Acquisitions. |
