Note 2 — Basis of Presentation
The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information was prepared in accordance with Article 11 of SEC Regulation S-X as amended by the final rule, Release No. 33-10786 “Amendments to Financial Disclosures about Acquired and Disposed Businesses.” The historical financial information of FSDC II and Old Pardes include transaction accounting adjustments to illustrate the estimated effect of the Business Combination and the PIPE Investment and certain other adjustments to provide relevant information necessary for an understanding of the Combined Entity upon consummation of the transactions described herein.
The Business Combination will be accounted for as a reverse recapitalization because Old Pardes has been determined to be the accounting acquirer under Financial Accounting Standards Board’s Accounting Standards Codification Topic 805, Business Combinations (“ASC 805”). The determination is primarily based on the evaluation of the following facts and circumstances taking into consideration:
| • | | The pre-combination equity holders of Old Pardes will hold the relative majority of voting rights in the Combined Entity; |
| • | | The pre-combination equity holders of Old Pardes will have the right to appoint the majority of the directors on the Combined Entity Board; |
| • | | Senior management of Old Pardes will comprise the senior management of the Combined Entity; and |
| • | | Operations of Old Pardes will comprise the ongoing operations of the Combined Entity. |
Under the reverse recapitalization accounting model, the Business Combination will be treated as Old Pardes issuing stock for the net assets of FSDC II, with no goodwill or intangible assets recorded.
One-time direct and incremental transaction costs incurred prior to, or concurrent with, the closing of the Business Combination are reflected in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet as a direct reduction to the Combined Entity’s additional paid-in capital and are assumed to be cash settled.
The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information does not reflect the income tax effects of the pro forma adjustments. Management believes this unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information to not be meaningful given the Combined Entity incurred significant losses during the historical periods presented.
The pro forma adjustments are based on the information currently available. The assumptions and estimates underlying the pro forma adjustments are described in the accompanying notes. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined statements of operations are not necessarily indicative of what the actual results of operations would have been had the Business Combination taken place on the date indicated, nor are they indicative of the future consolidated results of operations of the Combined Entity. They should be read in conjunction with the historical consolidated financial statements and notes of the Companies incorporated herein by reference.
Management will perform a comprehensive review of the two entities’ accounting policies. As a result of the review, management may identify differences between the accounting policies of the two entities which, when conformed, could have a material impact on the financial statements of the post-combination company. Based on its initial analysis, management did not identify any differences that would have a material impact on the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information. As a result, the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information does not assume any differences in accounting policies.
The Combined Entity expects to issue new equity awards to its employees after the consummation of the Business Combination. The terms of the future equity awards have not been finalized and remain subject to change. Accordingly, no effect has been given in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information for the new awards.
The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information does not reflect the income tax effects of the transaction accounting adjustments as any change in the deferred tax balance would be offset by an increase in the valuation allowance given Old Pardes incurred significant losses during the historical period presented.
