Opinion on the Combined Financial Statements

 

We have audited the accompanying combined balance sheets of RideNow Group and Affiliates (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2020 and 2019, and the related combined statements of income, changes in owners’ equity, and cash flows for the years then ended, and the related notes to the combined financial statements. In our opinion, the combined financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2020 and 2019, and the results of their operations and cash flows for the years then ended, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

 

Basis for Opinion

 

These combined financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s combined financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (“PCAOB”) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

 

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB and in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the combined financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.

 

Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the combined financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the combined financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the combined financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

 

Critical Audit Matters

 

Critical audit matters are matters arising from the current period audit of the combined financial statements that were communicated or required to be communicated to the audit committee and that: (1) relate to accounts or disclosures that are material to the combined financial statements and (2) involved our especially challenging, subjective, or complex judgments. We determined that there are no critical audit matters.

We have served as the Company’s auditor since 2020.

NOTE 1

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

Nature of Business

 

RideNow Group and Affiliates, a non-legal entity, (“RideNow” or “The Group” or the “Company”) is a collection of franchised dealerships operating in the powersports industry. The Group is engaged in the sale of new and used motorcycles, all-terrain vehicles, personal watercraft, other powersports vehicles, and related products and services, including repair and maintenance services, parts and accessories, riding gear, and apparel. As of December 31, 2020, RideNow owned and operated more than 45 retail dealerships in the United States, predominately in the Sunbelt region. The core brands sold by RideNow are Harley-Davidson, Honda, Yamaha, Kawasaki, Suzuki, Bombardier, Polaris, BMW, Ducati and Triumph, which are sold through franchise dealer agreements.

 

Basis of Presentation

 

The Combined Financial Statements include the accounts of the following affiliated companies: CMG Powersports Inc., America’s Powersports, Inc., Woods Fun Center, LLC, San Diego House of Motorcycles, LLC, APS of Oklahoma, LLC, APS of Georgetown, LLC, APS of Ohio, LLC, APS of Texas, LLC, C&W Motors, Inc., BJ Motorsports, LLC, Coyote Motorsports - Allen, LTD, Coyote Motorsports - Garland, LTD, East Valley Motorcycles, LLC, Glendale Motorcycles, LLC, JJB Properties, LLC, Metro Motorcycle, Inc., RideNow Carolina, LLC, RideNow, LLC, Ride USA, LLC, Top Cat Enterprises, LLC, Tucson Motorcycle, Inc., Tucson Motorsports, Inc., YSA Motorsports, LLC, RN Tri-Cities, LLC, ECHD Motorcycles, LLC, IOT Motorcycles, LLC, RideNow 6 Garland, LLC, RideNow Gainesville, LLC, RNKC, LLC, RNMC Daytona, LLC, TC Motorcycles, LLC, Ride Now 5 Allen, LLC, RHND Ocala, LLC and Bayou Motorcycles, LLC.

 

These combined financial statements were prepared on a combined basis using the accrual method of accounting. All transactions and accounts between and among the combined entities have been eliminated.

 

Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles 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. In preparing these financial statements, management has made its best estimates and judgments of certain amounts included in the financial statements. RideNow bases its estimates and judgments on historical experience and other assumptions that management believes are reasonable. However, application of these accounting policies involves the exercise of judgment and use of assumptions as to future uncertainties and, as a result, actual results could differ materially from these estimates. RideNow periodically evaluates estimates and assumptions used in the preparation of the financial statements and make changes on a prospective basis when adjustments are necessary. The critical accounting estimates made in the accompanying Combined Financial Statements include certain assumptions related to goodwill and other intangible assets. Other significant accounting estimates include certain assumptions related to long-lived assets, assets held for sale, accruals for chargebacks against revenue recognized from the sale of finance and insurance products, certain legal proceedings, and estimated tax liabilities. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

 

Reclassifications

 

Certain reclassifications have been made to the accompanying 2019 combined financial statements included herein to conform to the 2020 presentation. These reclassifications had no material effect on the financial position of RideNow.

 

Cash and Cash Equivalents

 

RideNow considers all highly liquid investments with a maturity of three months or less as of the date of purchase to be cash equivalents unless the investments are legally or contractually restricted for more than three months. Under RideNow’s cash management system, outstanding checks that are in excess of the cash balances at certain banks are included in Accounts Payable in the Combined Balance Sheets and changes in these amounts are reflected in operating cash flows in the accompanying Combined Statements of Cash Flows.

 

 

 

RideNow Group and Affiliates

Notes to Combined Financial Statements

December 31, 2020 and 2019

 

Inventories

 

Inventories, consisting of new units, are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value on a specific identification basis. Parts and accessories inventories are stated at the weighted average cost. Used units and other inventories are stated at the lower of cost or wholesale net realizable values on a specific identification basis, as determined by management.

 

Credit Risk

 

Financial instruments which potentially subject RideNow to concentrations of credit risk consist principally of cash in financial institutions that, at times, may exceed FDIC insurance limits. At various times during the year, the cash in bank balances exceed the federally insured limits. Management believes there are no unusual risks associated with current depository institutions.

 

Credit risk with respect to accounts receivable is limited due to the large number of customers comprising RideNow’s customer base. RideNow performs ongoing credit evaluations of its customer’s financial condition and generally requires no collateral from its customers.

 

Contracts in Transit

 

Contracts in transit are proceeds to be received on sales contracts from financing institutions.

 

Accounts Receivable

 

Accounts receivable are uncollateralized obligations for major units, parts, service, and warranty work. Accounts receivable are stated at the invoice amount. Payments of accounts receivable are applied to the specific invoices identified on the customer’s remittance advice or, if unspecified, to the earliest unpaid invoice.

 

Factory receivables which are included in accounts receivable represent amounts due primarily from manufacturer holdbacks, rebates, co-op advertising, warranty, and supplier returns.

 

RideNow provides an allowance for doubtful accounts equal to estimated uncollectible amounts. RideNow’s estimate is based on historical collection experience and a review of the current status of accounts receivable. It is reasonably possible that RideNow’s estimate of the allowance for doubtful accounts will change. Bad debt expense is included as a component of general and administrative expenses in the Combined Statements of Income.

 

Property and Equipment

 

Property and equipment are recorded at cost and depreciated over the lesser of their estimated useful lives or lease terms, ranging from 3 to 20 years, using the straight-line method. Upon sale or retirement, the cost and related accumulated depreciation are eliminated from the respective accounts, and the resulting gain or loss is included in the results of operations. Repairs and maintenance charges that do not increase the useful lives of the assets are charged to operations as incurred.

 

Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets, net

 

RideNow acquisitions have resulted in the recording of goodwill and other intangible assets. Goodwill is an asset representing operational synergies, franchise rights and future economic benefits arising from other assets acquired in a business combination that are not individually identified and separately recognized. Other intangible assets represent non-compete agreements entered into with sellers from acquired businesses.

 

RideNow does not amortize goodwill. Goodwill is tested for impairment annually or more frequently when events or changes in circumstances indicate that impairment may have occurred. RideNow elected to perform a quantitative goodwill impairment test for its reporting units as of December 31, 2020 and 2019, and no goodwill impairment charges resulted from the testing.

 

 

RideNow Group and Affiliates

Notes to Combined Financial Statements

December 31, 2020 and 2019

 

Other intangible assets identified include non-compete agreements which are intangible assets with definite lives and are carried at the acquired fair values less accumulated amortization. The non-compete agreements are amortized over the estimate useful lives.

 

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

 

RideNow reviews long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset to undiscounted future cash flows expected to be generated by the asset. If such assets are considered to be impaired, the impairment to be recognized is measured by the amount by which the carrying value of the assets exceeds the fair value of the assets. Assets to be disposed of are reported at the lower of the carrying amount, or the fair value less costs to sell.

 

Revenue Recognition

 

Revenue consists of the sales of new and used recreational vehicles, commissions from related finance and insurance products, sales of parts and services, and sale of other products. See Note 3 for a summary of the significant accounting policies related to revenue recognition.

 

Advertising

 

Advertising costs are expensed during the year in which they are incurred. Advertising expense for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019 was approximately $6,717,000 and $7,198,000, respectively.

 

Income Taxes

 

RideNow and its affiliates’ taxable income or loss is included in the tax returns of its shareholders. Therefore, no provision for income taxes is recorded in these Combined Financial Statements. RideNow has evaluated its tax positions and determined it has no uncertain tax positions as of December 31, 2020 and 2019.

 

Sales and Excise Tax

 

RideNow collects certain taxes from customers and remits to governmental authorities. RideNow’s accounting policy is to exclude the taxes collected and remitted to the governmental authorities from revenue and costs of sales.

 

Government Regulations

 

All of RideNow’s facilities are subject to federal, state, and local regulations relating to the discharge of materials into the environment. Compliance with these provisions has not had, nor does it expect such compliance to have, any material effect on the capital expenditures, net income, financial condition, or competitive position of RideNow. Management believes that its current practices and procedures for the control and disposition of such wastes comply with applicable federal and state requirements.

 

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

 

From time to time, new accounting pronouncements are issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) under its Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) or other standard setting bodies.

 

Revenue from Contracts with Customers

 

RideNow adopted ASU 2014-09 Revenue from Contracts with Customers and all subsequent amendments to the ASU, collectively referred to as Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) Topic 606, which (i) creates a single framework for recognizing revenue from contracts with customers that fall within its scope. RideNow’s goods and services that fall within the scope of Topic 606 are recognized as revenue when promised goods or services are transferred to customers in amounts that reflect the consideration to which RideNow expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services.

 

 

RideNow Group and Affiliates

Notes to Combined Financial Statements

December 31, 2020 and 2019

 

RideNow adopted the accounting standard effective January 1, 2018, using the modified retrospective approach applied only to contracts not completed as of the date of adoption, with no restatement of comparative periods recorded an increase to retained earnings of approximately $737,000.

 

Accounting for Leases

 

In February 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued an accounting standard update (ASC Topic 842) that amends the accounting guidance on leases. The new standard establishes a right-of-use (ROU) model that requires a lessee to record an ROU asset and a lease liability on the balance sheet for all leases with terms longer than 12 months. Leases are classified as either finance or operating, with classification affecting the pattern of expense recognition in the income statement. The FASB also subsequently issued amendments to the standard, including providing an additional and optional transition method to adopt the new standard, described below, as well as certain practical expedients related to land easements and lessor accounting.

 

The accounting standard update originally required the use of a modified retrospective approach reflecting the application of the standard to the leases existing at, or entered into after, the beginning of the earliest comparative period presented in the financial statements with the option to elect certain practical expedients. A subsequent amendment to the standard provides an additional and optional transition method that allows entities to initially apply the new leases standard at the adoption date and recognize a cumulative effect adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings in the period of adoption. RideNow adopted this accounting standard effective January 1, 2018, using the optional transition method with no restatement of comparative periods.

 

RideNow elected certain practical expedients available under the transition guidance within the new standard, which among other things, allowed it to carry forward the historical lease classification of RideNow’s existing leases. RideNow did not elect the use-of-hindsight or the practical expedient pertaining to land easements; the latter not being applicable to RideNow. The new standard also provides practical expedients for an entity’s ongoing accounting. RideNow elected the short- term lease recognition exemption for all leases that qualify. As a result, for those leases that qualify, RideNow will not recognize ROU assets or lease liabilities, and RideNow did not recognize ROU asset or lease liabilities for existing short-term leases of those assets in transition. RideNow also elected the practical expedient to not separate lease and non-lease components of leases for the majority of RideNow classes of underlying assets.

 

NOTE 2

NOTE 3

REVENUE FROM CONTRACTS WITH CUSTOMERS

 

New and Used Recreational Vehicles

 

RideNow sells new and used recreational vehicles. The transaction price for a recreational vehicle sale is determined with the customer at the time of sale. Customers often trade in their own recreational vehicle to apply toward the purchase of a retail new or used recreational vehicle. The “trade-in” recreational vehicle is a type of noncash consideration measured at fair value, based on external and internal market data for a specific recreational vehicle, and applied as payment of the contract price for the purchased recreational vehicle.

 

When RideNow sells a new or used recreational vehicle, transfer of control typically occurs at a point in time upon delivery of the vehicle to the customer, which is generally at the time of sale, as the customer is able to direct the use of, and obtain substantially all benefits from the recreational vehicle at such time. RideNow does not directly finance its customer’s purchases or provide leasing. In many cases, RideNow arranges third- party financing for the retail sale or lease of recreational vehicles to customers in exchange for a fee paid to RideNow by a third-party financial institution. RideNow receives payment directly from the customer at the time of sale or from a third-party financial institution (referred to as contracts-in-transit) within a short period of time following the sale. RideNow establishes provisions, which are not significant, for estimated returns and warranties on the basis of both historical information and current trends.

 

Parts and Service

 

RideNow sells parts and vehicle services related to customer-paid repairs and maintenance, repairs and maintenance under manufacturer warranties and extended service contracts, and collision-related repairs. RideNow also sells parts through wholesale and retail counter channels.

Each repair and maintenance service is a single performance obligation that includes both the parts and labor associated with the vehicle service. Payment for each vehicle service work is typically due upon completion of the service, which is generally completed within a short period from contract inception. The transaction price for repair and maintenance services is based on the parts used, the number of labor hours applied, and standardized hourly labor rates. The performance obligation for repair and maintenance service are satisfied over time and create an asset with no alternative use and with an enforceable right to payment for performance completed to date. Revenue is recognized over time based on a direct measurement of labor hours, parts and accessories that are allocated to open service and repair orders at the end of each reporting period. As a practical expedient, the time value of money is not considered since repair and maintenance service contracts have a duration of one year or less. The transaction price for wholesale and retail counter parts sales is determined at the time of sale based on the quantity and price of each product purchased. Payment is typically due at time of sale, or within a short period following the sale. RideNow establishes provisions, which are not significant, for estimated parts returns based on historical information and current trends. Delivery method of wholesale and retail counter parts vary.

 

RideNow generally considers control of wholesale and retail counter parts to transfer when the products are shipped, which typically occurs the same day as or within a few days of sale. RideNow also offers customer loyalty points for parts and services for select franchises. RideNow satisfies its performance obligations and recognizes revenue when the loyalty points are redeemed. Amounts deferred related to the customer loyalty programs are insignificant.

 

Finance and Insurance

 

RideNow sells and receives commissions on the following types of finance and insurance products: extended service contracts, maintenance programs, guaranteed auto protection, tire and wheel protection, and theft protection products, among others. RideNow offers products that are sold and administered by independent third parties, including the vehicle manufacturers’ captive finance subsidiaries.

 

Pursuant to the arrangements with these third-party providers, RideNow sells the products on a commission basis. For the majority of finance and insurance product sales, RideNow’s performance obligation is to arrange for the provision of goods and services by another party. RideNow’s performance obligation is satisfied when this arrangement is made, which is when the finance and insurance product is delivered to the end customer, generally at the time of the vehicle sale. As agent, RideNow recognizes revenue in the amount of any fee or commission to which it expects to be entitled, which is the net amount of consideration that it retains after paying the third-party provider the consideration received in exchange for the goods or services to be fulfilled by that party.

 

RideNow’s customers are concentrated in the Sunbelt region. There are no significant judgements or estimates required in determining the satisfaction of the performance obligations or the transaction price allocated to the performance obligations. As revenue are recognized at a point-in-time, costs to obtain the customer (i.e. commissions) do not require capitalization.

 

Disaggregation of Revenue

 

The significant majority of RideNow’s revenue is from contracts with customers. In the following tables, revenue is disaggregated by major lines of goods and services and timing of transfer of goods and services. We have determined that these categories depict how the nature, amount, timing, and uncertainty of our revenue and cash flows are affected by economic factors.

The components of vehicle Floor Plan payables at December 31 are as follows:

 

		2020				2019
Vehicle Floor Plan payable - trade		$	18,516,327			$	39,087,146
Vehicle Floor Plan payable – non-trade			50,017,352				123,888,784
Vehicle Floor Plan payable		$	68,533,679			$	162,975,930

 

Vehicle Floor Plan payable - trade reflects amounts borrowed to finance the purchase of specific new and, to a lesser extent, used vehicle inventories with the corresponding manufacturers’ captive finance subsidiaries (“trade lenders”). Vehicle Floor Plan payable-non-trade represents amounts borrowed to finance the purchase of specific new and, to a lesser extent, used vehicle inventories with non-trade lenders, as well as amounts borrowed under RideNow’s secured used vehicle Floor Plan facilities. Changes in vehicle Floor Plan payable- trade are reported as operating cash flows and changes in vehicle Floor Plan payable-non-trade are reported as financing cash flows in the accompanying Combined Statements of Cash Flows.

 

RideNow’s inventory costs are generally reduced by manufacturer holdbacks, incentives, Floor Plan assistance, and non-reimbursement-based manufacturer advertising rebates, while the related vehicle Floor Plan payables are reflective of the gross cost of the vehicle. The vehicle Floor Plan payables, as shown in the above table, will generally also be higher than the inventory cost due to the timing of the sale of a vehicle and payment of the related liability. Vehicle Floor Plan facilities are due on demand, but in the case of new vehicle inventories, are generally paid within several business days after the related vehicles are sold. Vehicle Floor Plan facilities are primarily collateralized by vehicle inventories and related receivables.

The original principal sum was $1,724,000 accruing interest at 4% including 59 monthly payments of $17,454 with final balloon payment due July 1, 2022

 

PPP Loan

 

On April 6, 2020, RideNow entered into loan agreements and related promissory notes (the “SBA Loan Documents”) to receive U.S. Small Business Administration Loans (the “SBA Loans”) pursuant to the Paycheck Protection Program (the “PPP”) established under the CARES Act, in the aggregate amount of $19,039,229 (the “Loan Proceeds”). The Companies received the Loan Proceeds on April 6, 2020, and under the SBA Loan Documents, the SBA Loans had an initial maturity date of April 5, 2022 and an annual interest rate of 0.98%. Payment of principal and interest, to be paid monthly, on the PPP Loans can be prepaid by the Companies at any time and was originally deferred through October 5, 2020. On October 7, 2020, the Small Business Administration published guidance of its interpretation of the CARES ACT and of the Paycheck Protection Program Interim Final Rules that indicates, pursuant to the PPP Flexibility Act of 2020, the deferral period for borrower payments of principal, interest and fees on all PPP was extended 10 months after the borrower’s loan forgiveness period. Additionally, the SBA lender agreed to extend the maturity pursuant to the Interim Final Rules. As a result, monthly equal payments of principal and interest will begin August 6, 2021, with the last payment due April 6, 2025.

 

NOTE 10

LEASES

 

General description

 

The significant majority of leases that RideNow enters into are for real estate. RideNow leases numerous facilities relating to RideNow’s operations, including primarily for vehicle showrooms, display lots, service facilities, collision repair centers, supply facilities, vehicle storage lots, parking lots, offices, and RideNow’s corporate headquarters. Leases for real property have terms ranging from one to twenty-five years. RideNow also leases various types of equipment, including security cameras, diagnostic equipment, copiers, key-cutting machines, and postage machines, among others. Equipment leases generally have terms ranging from one to five years.

 

RideNow’s lease agreements do not contain any material residual value guarantees or material restrictive covenants. RideNow does not have any significant leases that have not yet commenced but that create significant rights and obligations for us. RideNow has elected the practical expedient under ASC Topic 842 to not separate lease and non-lease components for the following classes of underlying assets: real estate, office equipment, service loaner vehicles, and marketing-related assets (e.g., billboards).

 

RideNow’s real estate and equipment leases often require that RideNow pay maintenance in addition to rent. Additionally, RideNow’s real estate leases generally require payment of real estate taxes and insurance. Maintenance, real estate taxes, and insurance payments are generally variable and based on actual costs incurred by the lessor. Therefore, these amounts are not included in the consideration of the contract when determining the right-of-use (“ROU”) asset and lease liability but are reflected as variable lease expenses for those classes of underlying assets for which RideNow has elected the practical expedient to not separate lease and non-lease components. Leases with an initial term of 12 months or less are not recorded on the balance sheet; RideNow recognizes lease expense for these leases on a straight-line basis over the lease term. RideNow rents or subleases certain real estate to third parties, which are primarily operating leases.

Notes to Combined Financial Statements

December 31, 2020 and 2019

 

Variable lease payments

 

A majority of RideNow’s lease agreements include fixed rental payments. Certain of RideNow’s lease agreements include fixed rental payments that are adjusted periodically for changes in the Consumer Price Index (“CPI”). Payments based on a change in an index, or a rate are not considered in the determination of lease payments for purposes of measuring the related lease liability. While lease liabilities are not remeasured because of changes to the CPI, changes to the CPI are treated as variable lease payments and recognized in the period in which the obligation for those payments are incurred.

 

Options to extend or terminate leases

 

Most of RideNow’s real estate leases include one or more options to renew, with renewal terms that can extend the lease term from one to five years or more. The exercise of lease renewal options is at RideNow’s sole discretion. If it is reasonably certain that RideNow will exercise such options, the periods covered by such options are included in the lease term and are recognized as part of RideNow’s ROU assets and lease liabilities. Certain leases also include options to purchase the leased property. The depreciable life of assets and leasehold improvements are limited by the expected lease term unless there is a transfer of title or purchase option reasonably certain of exercise.

 

Discount rate

 

For the incremental borrowing rate, RideNow generally uses a portfolio approach to determine the discount rate for leases with similar characteristics. RideNow determines discount rates based on current market prices of instruments similar to RideNow’s unsecured borrowings with maturities that align with the relevant lease term, and such rates are then adjusted for RideNow’s credit spread and the effects of full collateralization.

RETIREMENT PLAN

 

RideNow maintains a 401(k) plan (the Plan) covering substantially all employees who are over the age of 21 and meet specified service requirements. Participants may voluntarily contribute to the Plan, not to exceed the maximum limits imposed by the Internal Revenue Service regulations. Contributions to the Plan are made by the participants to their individual accounts through payroll withholding. Additionally, RideNow provides a matching contribution of 25% up to the first 6% of participants’ annual earnings with a maximum of $2,000 annually. RideNow’s contribution to the Plan was $563,624 and $613,270 for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively.

 

NOTE 14

CONTINGENCIES

 

From time to time, RideNow is contingently liable in respect to lawsuits and claims incidental to the ordinary course of its operations. Management has determined that the outcome of any such matters will not have a material effect on the Combined Financial Statements. No provision has been made in the accompanying Combined Financial Statements for losses, if any, that might result from the ultimate outcome of such matters.

 

Coronavirus Pandemic (COVID-19)

 

Subsequent to year-end, the World Health Organization declared the spread of Coronavirus Disease (COVID- 19) a worldwide pandemic. The COVID-19 pandemic is having significant effects on global markets, supply chains, businesses, and communities. Specific to RideNow, COVID-19 may impact various parts of its 2020 operations and financial results. Management believes RideNow is taking appropriate actions to mitigate the negative impact. However, the full impact of COVID-19 is unknown and cannot be reasonably estimated at December 31, 2020 and 2019.

 

NOTE 15

BUSINESS AND CREDIT CONCENTRATIONS

 

Financial instruments that potentially subject us to concentrations of credit risk consist principally of cash on deposit with financial institutions. At times, amounts invested with financial institutions exceed Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation insurance limits. Concentrations of credit risk with respect to receivables are limited primarily to receivables from powersports manufacturers or distributors which RideNow holds franchises, totaling approximately $6,624,000 and $6,828,000 at December 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively.

 

RideNow is subject to a concentration of risk in the event of financial distress or other adverse events related to any of the manufacturers whose franchised dealerships are included in RideNow’s brand portfolio. RideNow purchases new vehicle inventory from various powersports manufacturers at the prevailing prices available to all franchised dealerships. In addition, RideNow finances a substantial portion of its new vehicle inventory with manufacturer-affiliated finance companies. RideNow’s results of operations could be adversely affected by the manufacturers’ inability to supply RideNow dealerships with an adequate supply of new vehicle inventory and related floor plan financing. RideNow also has concentrations of risk related to the geographic markets in which RideNow dealerships operate. Changes in overall economic, retail powersports or regulatory environments in one or more of these markets could adversely impact the results of RideNow’s operations.

 

Concentrations of credit risk with respect to non-manufacturer trade receivables are limited due to the wide variety of customers and markets in which RideNow’s products are sold as well as their dispersion across many different geographic areas in the United States. Consequently, at December 31, 2020, RideNow does not consider itself to have any significant non-manufacturer concentrations of credit risk.

NOTE 16

FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS AND FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

 

The fair value of a financial instrument represents the amount at which the instrument could be exchanged in a current transaction between willing parties, other than in a forced sale or liquidation. Fair value estimates are made at a specific point in time, based on relevant market information about the financial instrument. These estimates are subjective in nature and involve uncertainties and matters of judgment, and therefore cannot be determined with precision.

 

Accounting standards define fair value as the price that would be received from selling an asset or paid to transfer a liability in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. Accounting standards establish a fair value hierarchy which requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value and also establishes the following three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value:

 

Level 1 Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities

 

Level 2 Observable inputs other than Level 1 prices such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted market prices in markets that are not active; or model-derived valuations or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities.

 

Level 3 Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities.

 

The following methods and assumptions were used by us in estimating fair value disclosures for financial instruments:

 

●

Cash and cash equivalents, receivables, other current assets, vehicle Floor Plan payable, accounts payable, other current liabilities, and variable rate debt: The amounts reported in the accompanying Combined Balance Sheets approximate fair value due to their short-term nature or the existence of variable interest rates that approximate prevailing market rates.

 

●

Fixed rate long-term debt: RideNow’s fixed rate long-term debt consists primarily of amounts outstanding under its senior unsecured notes. The amounts reported in the accompanying Combined Balance Sheets approximate fair value due to its senior unsecured notes using quoted prices for the identical liability (Level 1).

 

Nonfinancial assets such as goodwill, other intangible assets, and long-lived assets held and used are measured at fair value when there is an indicator of impairment and recorded at fair value only when impairment is recognized or for a business combination. The fair values less costs to sell of long-lived assets or disposal groups held for sale are assessed each reporting period they remain classified as held for sale. Subsequent changes in the held for sale long-lived asset’s or disposal group’s fair value less cost to sell (increase or decrease) are reported as an adjustment to its carrying amount, except that the adjusted carrying amount cannot exceed the carrying amount of the long-lived asset or disposal group at the time it was initially classified as held for sale.
