1st Choice Aerospace Inc.
Notes to Combined Statement of Assets Acquired and Liabilities Assumed
As of December 31, 2018



(1) Description of Transaction and Basis of Presentation

Description of Transaction

On January 10, 2019, VSE Aviation, Inc. (“VSE Aviation”), a wholly owned subsidiary of VSE Corporation (“VSE”), and VSE entered into a definitive Share Purchase Agreement (the “SPA”) to acquire two privately held aviation supply chain management companies, 1st Choice Aerospace Inc., a Florida corporation, and 1st Choice Aerospace Inc., an Ohio corporation, (collectively referred to herein as the “1st Choice Aerospace” or the "Company"), by acquiring all of their outstanding common stock (the “Acquisition”). The Company, with operations in Florida and Kentucky, is a provider of component maintenance, repair and overhaul ("MRO") services for new generation and legacy commercial aircraft.

As set forth in the SPA, VSE Aviation acquired all of 1st Choice Aerospace's outstanding common stock on January 10, 2019 for an initial purchase price of $112 million paid in cash at the closing of the Acquisition (the “Closing”). The purchase price is subject to certain other adjustments pursuant to the SPA, including in respect of 1st Choice Aerospace's closing net working capital.  Also, VSE Aviation will be required to make additional purchase price payments consisting of up to $40 million, if certain “gross profit” (as defined in the SPA) financial targets are satisfied by 1st Choice Aerospace on a combined basis during 2019 and 2020.

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying financial statement is not a complete set of financial statements, but rather it presents the assets acquired and liabilities assumed in the acquisition of 1st Choice Aerospace as of December 31, 2018. In accordance with a request for relief granted by the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), the Combined Statement of Assets Acquired and Liabilities Assumed of 1st Choice Aerospace is provided in lieu of certain historical financial information of 1st Choice Aerospace required by Rule 3-05 and Article 11 of SEC Regulation S-X.

The accompanying Combined Statement of Assets Acquired and Liabilities Assumed has been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”). The combined accounts include the accounts and transactions of 1st Choice Aerospace, which represents two legal entities under common management and control, and therefore intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in combination.


(2) Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

The use of the terms “we” and “our” in the following sections is attributed to 1st Choice Aerospace.

Use of Estimates in the Preparation of Financial Statements

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts and related disclosures. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Significant estimates affecting the Combined Statement of Assets Acquired and Liabilities Assumed include, but are not limited to, valuation of inventory and reserves for warranty obligations.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

We consider all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.

Receivables and Allowance for Doubtful Accounts

Receivables are recorded at amounts earned less an allowance for doubtful accounts. We review our receivables regularly to determine if there are any potentially uncollectible accounts. We assess the adequacy of these reserves by considering general factors, such as the length of time individual receivables are past due and historical collection experience.

(3) Commitments and Contingencies

The Company’s principal commitments consists of non-cancellable leases for its offices and warehouses.  Rental expense associated with these leases is recognized on a straight-line basis with differences between expense recognized and contractual payments captured as deferred rent in accrued expenses and other liabilities on the accompanying Combined Statement of Assets Acquired and Liabilities Assumed.  Such amount is not material as of December 31, 2018.  The aforementioned leases are assumed by VSE Aviation as part of the aforementioned Acquisition on January 10, 2019 and related deferred rent will reset as part of the purchase price allocation.           

The Company is from time to time subject to various claims, pending and threatened litigation or other legal proceedings, investigations and/or regulatory proceedings arising in the normal course of business, including, among others, those relating to product liability claims, employment matters, worker’s compensation claims, contractual disputes, product warranty claims and alleged violations of various laws and regulations. The Company accrues for known individual matters using estimates of the most likely amount of loss where it believes that it is probable the matter will result in a loss when ultimately resolved and such loss is reasonably estimable. The Company is not aware of any existing matters that would have a material adverse effect on the Company’s combined statement of assets acquired and liabilities assumed.


(4) Subsequent Events

Subsequent events have been evaluated through April 4, 2019, the date the Combined Statement of Assets Acquired and Liabilities Assumed was available to be issued. The Company is not aware of any subsequent events that would require recognition or disclosure in the accompanying Combined Statement of Assets Acquired and Liabilities assumed, except for the acquisition of the Company by VSE Aviation on January 10, 2019.
