The Business Combination was accounted for as a reverse recapitalization, in accordance with GAAP. Under this method of accounting, the Company was treated as the “acquired” company for financial reporting purposes. Accordingly, the Business Combination was treated as the equivalent of Landsea Homes issuing stock for the net assets of the Company, accompanied by a recapitalization. The net assets of the Company are stated at historical cost, with no goodwill or other intangible assets recorded. Operations prior to the Business Combination are those of Landsea Homes.

 

Landsea Homes was determined to be the accounting acquirer based on evaluation of the following facts and circumstances:

 

·Seller has the largest voting interest in the post-combination company;

 

·The board of directors of the post-combination company has nine members, and the Seller has the ability to designate seven members of the board of directors;

 

·Landsea Homes management holds executive management roles for the post-combination company and is responsible for the day-to-day operations;

 

·Landsea Homes was significantly larger than the Company by assets, revenue, and employees; and

 

·The purpose and intent of the Business Combination was to create an operating public company through the Company, with management continuing to use Landsea Homes’ platform to grow the business and the combined entity assumed the name Landsea Homes Corporation.

 

Public stockholders were offered the opportunity to redeem, upon closing of the Business Combination, shares of Class A common stock for cash equal to their pro rata share of the aggregate amount on deposit (as of two business days prior to the closing of the Business Combination) in the Trust Account.

 

Assumptions and estimates underlying the unaudited pro forma adjustments set forth in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements are described in the accompanying notes. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements have been presented for illustrative purposes only and are not necessarily indicative of the operating results and financial position that would have been achieved had the Business Combination occurred on the dates indicated. Further, the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements do not purport to project the future operating results or financial position of the Company following the completion of the Business Combination. The unaudited pro forma adjustments represent management’s estimates based on information available as of the time that these unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements were prepared and are subject to change as additional information becomes available and analyses are performed.

NOTES TO UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED COMBINED FINANCIAL INFORMATION

 

1.       Basis of Presentation

 

The Business Combination was accounted for as a reverse recapitalization in accordance with GAAP. Under this method of accounting, the Company was treated as the “acquired” company for financial reporting purposes. Accordingly, the Business Combination was treated as the equivalent of Landsea Homes issuing stock for the net assets of the Company, accompanied by a recapitalization. The net assets of the Company are stated at historical cost, with no goodwill or other intangible assets recorded. Operations prior to the Business Combination are those of Landsea Homes.

 

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet as of December 31, 2020 assumes that the Business Combination occurred on December 31, 2020. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2020 presents pro forma effect to the Business Combination as if it had been completed on January 1, 2020. These periods are presented on the basis of Landsea Homes as the accounting acquirer.

 

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet as of December 31, 2020 has been prepared using, and should be read in conjunction with, the following:

 

  · The Company’s audited condensed balance sheet as of December 31, 2020 and the related notes for the period ended December 31, 2020; and

 

  · Landsea Homes’ audited consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2020 and the related notes for the period ended December 31, 2020.

 

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2020 has been prepared using, and should be read in conjunction with, the following:

 

  · The Company’s audited condensed statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2020 and the related notes; and

 

  · Landsea Homes’ audited consolidated statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2020 and the related notes.

  

The pro forma adjustments reflecting the consummation of the Business Combination are based on certain currently available information and certain assumptions and methodologies that the Company believes are reasonable under the circumstances. The unaudited condensed pro forma adjustments, which are described in the accompanying notes, may be revised as additional information becomes available and is evaluated.

 

Therefore, it is likely that the actual adjustments will differ from the pro forma adjustments and it is possible the difference may be material. The Company believes that its assumptions and methodologies provide a reasonable basis for presenting all of the significant effects of the Business Combination based on information available to management at this time and that the pro forma adjustments give appropriate effect to those assumptions and are properly applied in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information.

 

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information is not necessarily indicative of what the actual results of operations and financial position would have been had the Business Combination taken place on the dates indicated, nor are they indicative of the future consolidated results of operations or financial position of the post-combination company. They should be read in conjunction with the historical financial statements and notes thereto of the Company and Landsea Homes.

 

2.        Accounting Policies

 

Upon consummation of the Business Combination, 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.

3.        Adjustments to Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Financial Information

 

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information has been prepared to illustrate the effect of the Business Combination and has been prepared for informational purposes only.

 

The following unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information has been prepared in accordance with Article 11 of Regulation S-X as amended by the final rule, Release No. 33-10786 “Amendments to Financial Disclosures about Acquired and Disposed Businesses.” Release No. 33-10786 replaces the existing pro forma adjustment criteria with simplified requirements to depict the accounting for the transaction (“Transaction Accounting Adjustments”) and present the reasonably estimable synergies and other transaction effects that have occurred or are reasonably expected to occur (“Management’s Adjustments”). The Company has elected not to present Management’s Adjustments and are only presenting Transaction Accounting Adjustments in the following unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information.

 

The pro forma combined provision for income taxes does not necessarily reflect the amounts that would have resulted had the post-combination company filed consolidated income tax returns during the periods presented.

 

The pro forma basic and diluted earnings per share amounts presented in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined statement of operations are based upon the number of the post-combination company’s shares outstanding, assuming the Business Combination occurred on January 1, 2020.

 

Transaction Accounting Adjustments to Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Balance Sheet

 

The Transaction Accounting Adjustments included in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet as of December 31, 2020 are as follows:

 

  (A) Reflects the reclassification of $109.7 million marketable securities held in the Trust Account that becomes available to fund expenses in connection with the Business Combination or future cash needs of Landsea Homes.

 

  (B) Represents transaction costs incurred by Landsea Homes of approximately $15.6 million, inclusive of advisory, banking, and printing fees, legal and accounting fees, and other equity issuance costs that are offset to Additional Paid-in Capital. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet reflects these costs as a reduction of cash of $8.0 million as $7.6 million has been paid as of the pro forma balance sheet date. Equity issuance costs of $15.6 million are offset to Additional Paid-In Capital.

 

  (C) Represents transaction costs incurred by the Company of approximately $3.9 million, inclusive of equity issuance costs that are offset to Additional Paid-in Capital. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet reflects these costs as a reduction of cash of $3.7 million as $0.2 million has been paid as of the pro forma balance sheet date. Equity issuance costs of $3.9 million are offset to Additional Paid-In Capital.  The costs expensed through retained earnings are removed in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined statement of operations discussed in (EE) below.

 

  (D) Reflects the payment of $5.4 million of deferred underwriters’ fees. The fees were paid at closing of the Business Combination out of the cash in the Trust Account.
  (E) Reflects the cash repayment of the Company’s $1.5 million Convertible Note to the Sponsor at the closing of the Business Combination. The Sponsor waived its rights to convert the note to warrants of the post Business Combination entity at a price of $1.00 per warrant in the Sponsor Surrender Agreement.

 

F-7

 

 

  (F) Reflects the forgiveness of the Company’s $1.0 million Promissory Note to the Sponsor at the closing of the Business Combination.

 

  (G) Reflects the cash payment of $2.9 million, settlement of the accrued liability of $2.2 million, and impact on retained earnings of acceleration of vesting of certain Landsea Homes phantom stock awards. Existing employment agreements with certain Landsea Homes executives contained a provision for accelerating vesting of phantom stock awards that was triggered upon consummation of the Business Combination.

 

  (H) Reflects the cash payment of an additional fee to Mr. Prot, the Chairman of the Board, for the closing of the Business Combination.

 

  (I) Reflects the payment of the Company’s accrued tax liabilities at the closing of the Business Combination.

 

  (J) Represents the cash payment to the holders of the public warrants related to the Warrant Amendment. The Warrant Amendment provided for cash consideration of $1.85 per public warrant, and that each outstanding public warrant become redeemable for 1/10th of a share of Company Class A common stock for an exercise price of $1.15, amending the previous terms of a public warrant being redeemable for 1 share of Company Class A common stock for an exercise price of $11.50.

 

  (K) Reflects the reclassification of historical Company Retained Earnings into Additional Paid-In Capital.

 

  (L) Reflects the adjustment to the Company’s Class A common stock and Additional Paid-In Capital for the issuance of the Company’s Class A common stock with a value of $343.8 million at a price of $10.56 per share of Class A common stock as consideration to the Seller for the Business Combination.

 

  (M) Reflects issuance of the Utilization Fee Shares and Additional Fee shares as shares of Class A common stock in connection with the Forward Purchase Transaction, and the forfeiture of Class B common stock in the same amount of shares. Parties to the Forward Purchase Transaction purchased Company Class A common stock in the open market in exchange for 250,415 shares of Class A common stock. The Sponsors forfeited Founder Shares of the amount of the shares of Class A common stock issued to the parties.

 

  (N) Reflects the conversion of all outstanding Class B common stock to Class A upon closing of the Business Combination (as adjusted for the amounts forfeited pursuant to Items (M) and (O) hereof). This includes 500,000 shares of Class B common stock converted to Class A common stock that the Sponsors may only sell or transfer and 500,000 of Sponsor Class B common stock converted to Class A common stock transferred to Seller that the Seller may only sell or transfer when certain share price thresholds are met during the twenty-four month period following the closing of the Business Combination.

 

  (O) Reflects the forfeiture of 600,000 Founder Shares with the adjustment to Additional Paid-In Capital. The forfeiture of the 2,260,000 Private Placement Warrants owned by the Sponsor do not result in a pro forma adjustment as it is a reclassification within the Additional Paid-In Capital line item. The 2,200,000 Private Placement Warrants transferred by Sponsors to the Seller do not result in a pro forma adjustment as these are already outstanding warrants that changed ownership.
     
  (P) Reflects the transfer of a deferred tax asset related to interest on debt legally held by Landsea Holdings. Landsea Homes and Landsea Holdings are no longer consolidated after the Business Combination. As a result, the deferred tax asset is transferred to Landsea Holdings.

 

F-8

 

 

 Transaction Accounting Adjustments to Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Statement of Operations

 

The Transaction Accounting Adjustments included in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2020 are as follows:

 

  (AA) Represents the elimination of the expense related to the Company’s office space and general administrative services, the agreement of which terminated upon closing of the Business Combination.

 

  (BB) Represents the recognition of stock compensation expense for new Restricted Stock Unit awards granted to certain executives of Landsea Homes upon consummation of the Business Combination. The awards will vest over 4 years and will have a continuing impact on the operations post-Business Combination.

 

  (CC) Represents the elimination of investment income related to the marketable securities held in the Trust Account.

 

  (DD) Reflects the income tax effect of the pro forma adjustments using the estimated blended federal and state statutory tax rate of 26%.

 

  (EE) Reflects the removal of the transaction costs in the Company’s historical statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2020. The Company's transaction costs are reflected as equity issuance costs for the purposes of the unaudited pro forma condensed combined statement of operations. This is a non-recurring item.

 

  (FF) Reflects the expense of the acceleration of vesting of certain Landsea Homes phantom stock awards in the statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2020. These costs are reflected as incurred on January 1, 2020, the date the Business Combination occurred for the purposes of the unaudited pro forma condensed combined statement of operations. Existing employment agreements with certain Landsea Homes executives contained a provision for accelerating vesting of phantom stock awards that was triggered upon consummation of the Business Combination. This is a non-recurring item.

 

 4.        Loss per Share

 

Represents the net loss per share calculated using the historical weighted average shares outstanding, and the issuance of additional shares in connection with the Business Combination, assuming the shares were outstanding since January 1, 2020. As the Business Combination and related transactions are being reflected as if they had occurred at the beginning of the period presented, the calculation of weighted average shares outstanding for basic and diluted net loss per share assumes that the shares issuable relating to the Business Combination have been outstanding for the entire period presented.

 

   Year Ended
December 31, 2020
 
Pro forma net loss  $(11,172)
Weighted average number of shares of Class A common stock outstanding - basic and diluted (1)(2)(3)   45,231,025 
Net loss per share of Class A common stock - basic and diluted  $(0.25)

 

(1) For the purposes of calculating the weighted average number of shares of Class A common stock outstanding, management determined that the 1,000,000 shares of Class A common stock subject to forfeiture upon the valuation of the Class A common stock failing to reach certain thresholds during the twenty-four month period following the closing of the Business Combination are not participating securities, based upon the current trading price of the Class A common stock of $10.53 as of January 7, 2021. As such, these were excluded from the calculation of the weighted average number of shares of Class A common stock outstanding.
 
(2) The public warrants and Private Placement Warrants are exercisable at $11.50 per share amounts which exceeds the current market price of Class A common stock and the approximate per share redemption price, as of January 7, 2021.
