Introductory Note.

This Form 8-K/A is being filed for the purpose of filing the financial statements and pro forma financial information required by Item 9.01 with respect to the Current Report on Form 8-K filed by Live Ventures Incorporated (the “Company”) with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on February 6, 2020 (the “February 6, 2020 8-K”) in connection with the consummation on January 31, 2020 of the transactions contemplated by the Purchase Agreement (as defined below) and the First Amendment (as defined below).  Pursuant to the Stock Purchase Agreement and the First Amendment, on January 31, 2020, Marquis Affiliated Holdings LLC (“MAH”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, acquired all of the issued and outstanding shares of capital stock of Lonesome Oak Trading Co., Inc. (“Lonesome Oak”).

Item 1.01.  Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

Item 2.01.  Completion of Acquisition or Disposition of Assets.

On January 31, 2020, MAH (i) entered into the First Amendment (the “First Amendment”) to Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with Lonesome Oak and J. Chadwick McEntire (“McEntire”), pursuant to which, among other things (u) the purchase price was reduced to $2.0 million, of which $1.45 million was held back to satisfy claims for indemnity arising out of breaches of certain representations, warranties, and covenants, and certain other enumerated items, if any, (v) the payment terms with respect to amounts owed by Lonesome Oak to certain related parties were amended, (w) clarified what constituted an Inventory Loss (as such term is defined in the Purchase Agreement), (x) deleted the condition precedent that MAH be satisfied with the results of its due diligence investigation, (y) extended the outside date to which MAH may terminate the purchase agreement to January 31, 2020, and (z) amended certain exhibits to the Purchase Agreement, and (ii) completed the acquisition of Lonesome Oak.

The material terms of the Purchase Agreement were previously reported in Item 1.01 of the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed on November 6, 2019, which is incorporated herein by reference.  The foregoing descriptions of the Purchase Agreement and the First Amendment and the transactions contemplated thereby do not purport to be complete and are qualified in their entirety by reference to the full text of the Purchase Agreement and the First Amendment, copies of which are attached as Exhibits 2.3 and 2.4, respectively, to the February 6, 2020 8-K and are incorporated herein by reference.

Item 2.03.  Creation of a Direct Financial Obligation or an Obligation under an Off-Balance Sheet Arrangement of a Registrant.

In connection with the acquisition of Lonesome Oak, MAH, Marquis Industries, Inc., a subsidiary of the Company and MAH (“Marquis”), and Lonesome Oak entered into a Consent, Joinder and Eighth Amendment to Loan and Security Agreement with Bank of America, N.A. (“BofA”), dated January 31, 2020 (the “Eighth Amendment”).  The Eighth Amendment amends, modifies, restates or supplements the Loan and Security Agreement, dated as of July 6, 2015, as amended from time to time, among MAH, Marquis and BofA (the “Senior Credit Facility”) to, among other things, (a) consent to MAH’s acquisition of Lonesome Oak, (b) join Lonesome Oak as a borrower under the Senior Credit Facility, (c) increase BofA’s commitment to make revolver loans and to issue letters of credit under the Senior Credit Facility from $15 million in the aggregate to $25 million in the aggregate, and (d) extend the termination date under the Senior Credit Facility from July 6, 2020 to January 31, 2025.  In addition, the Eighth Amendment modifies the borrowing base under the Senior Credit Facility to allow the borrowers to borrow up to 85% of eligible accounts receivable, plus the lesser of (i) $12.5 million; (ii) 65% of the value of eligible inventory; or (iii) 85% of the appraisal value of the eligible inventory. As of January 31, 2020, total net additional availability under the Senior Credit Facility was approximately $13.6 million; with approximately $1.2 million outstanding and outstanding standby letters of credit of approximately $72 thousand.

In connection with the acquisition of Lonesome Oak and the Eighth Amendment, MAH, Marquis and Lonesome Oak entered into a Consent, Joinder and First Amendment to Loan and Security Agreement with Isaac Capital Fund I, LLC (“Isaac Capital”), dated January 31, 2020 (the “First Mezzanine Amendment”).  The First Mezzanine Amendment amends, modifies, restates or supplements the Loan and Security Agreement, dated as of July 6, 2015, among MAH, Marquis and Isaac Capital (the “Mezzanine  Credit Facility”) to, among other things, (a) consent to MAH’s acquisition of Lonesome Oak, (b) join Lonesome Oak as a borrower under the Mezzanine Credit Facility, and (c) extend the maturity date under the Mezzanine Credit Facility from January 6, 2021 to May 1, 2025.  As of January 31, 2020, there was $2.0 million outstanding under the Mezzanine Credit Facility.

The foregoing descriptions of the Eighth Amendment and the First Mezzanine Amendment and the transactions contemplated thereby do not purport to be complete and are qualified in their entirety by reference to the full texts of the Eighth Amendment and the First Mezzanine Amendment, copies of which are attached as Exhibits 10.1 and 10.2 respectively, to the February 6, 2020 Form 8-K and are incorporated herein by reference.

We have audited the accompanying financial statements of Lonesome Oak Trading Co., Inc.

Management’s Responsibility for the Financial Statements

Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America; this includes the design, implementation, and maintenance of internal control relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

Auditors’ Responsibility

Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit. We conducted our audit 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 financial statements are free from material misstatement.

An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditor’s judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the entity’s preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity’s internal control. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of significant accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements.

We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.

Opinion

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Lonesome Oak Trading Co., Inc. as of December 28, 2019, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the year then ended in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Substantial Doubt about the Company’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that Lonesome Oak Trading Co., Inc. will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 2 to the financial statements, Lonesome Oak Trading Co., Inc. has incurred significant losses with substantial debt outstanding at year end which raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s evaluation of the events and conditions and management’s plans regarding those matters are also described in Note 2. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty. Our opinion is not modified with respect to that matter.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Stated in thousands of dollars, except per share amounts)

1. OPERATIONS

The Company, located in Eton, Georgia is a tufted textile (carpet) manufacturer.  The Company sells carpet primarily domestically and purchases and resells hardwood flooring and luxury vinyl tile.

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The Company's accounting policies reflect practices common to the industry and conform to generally accepted accounting principles.  The more significant accounting policies are summarized below.

Fiscal Year - The Company has elected a fiscal year ending on the Saturday nearest to December 31.  The fiscal years ended December 28, 2019 and December 29, 2018 consisted of 52 weeks.

Going Concern – The accompanying financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates continuity of operations and realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities in the ordinary course of business.  The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is predicated upon, among other things, the Company renewing or replacing the maturing line of credit continued support of major suppliers through extended credit terms, the Company generating sufficient cash flow to meet its current obligations and a return to profitability.

The Company has a $10,000 line of credit with Synovus Bank.  The loan documents include various financial and nonfinancial covenants including a limit on capital expenditure, encumbering assets, incurring debt, compliance with other agreements and applicable laws, restricting dividends, fixed charge ratio and an unqualified audit opinion, all of which the Company is in violation at December 28, 2019 and December 29, 2018.

Estimates - Management uses estimates and assumptions in preparing these financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.  Those estimates and assumptions affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, and the reported revenue and expenses during the periods.  Actual results could vary from the estimates that were used.

Fixed Assets - Fixed assets are stated at cost and are depreciated on the double-declining balance method over the following estimated useful lives:  Machinery and equipment are 5 to 7 years, Vehicles are 5 years, furniture and equipment are 5 to 7 years, and leasehold improvements are 7 to 39 years.

Leasehold improvements were made to facilities leased from the sole shareholder, see Note 7, Related Party Transactions.

Maintenance, repairs and minor renewals are charged against earnings when incurred.  Additions and major renewals are capitalized.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Stated in thousands of dollars, except per share amounts)

Inventories - Inventories are stated at the lower of first-in, first -out (FIFO) cost or net realizable value and consist of the following:

December 28, 2019 December 29, 2018
Inventory, net
Raw materials $ 7,377 $ 8,817
Work in progress 239 1,194
Finished goods 8,866 8,493
In-transit (finished) 410
$ 16,892 $ 18,504

Income Taxes - The Company has elected to be treated as a pass-through entity for federal and Georgia income tax purposes (Subchapter S status), and, as such, is not subject to income taxes.  Rather, all items of taxable income, deductions and tax credits are passed through to and are reported by the sole shareholder on his respective income tax returns.  The Company is required to file and does file tax returns with the Internal Revenue Service and other taxing authorities.  Accordingly, these financial statements do not reflect a provision for income taxes and the Company has no tax positions which must be considered for disclosure.

Accounts Receivable - The Company grants credit to substantially all of its customers.  The Company purchases credit insurance on those customers approved by its credit insurance company.  Uninsured customers and partially insured customers are extended credit by the Company on a customer by customer basis.  Substantially all accounts receivable at December 28, 2019 and at December 29, 2018 were covered by credit insurance.

An allowance for doubtful accounts is reviewed monthly and determined based on historical experience and management's estimate of potential losses.  The allowance for doubtful accounts was $63 and $746 as of December 28, 2019 and at December 29, 2018, respectively.

Credit Risk Concentration - Financial instruments with potential credit risk consist principally of cash and accounts receivable.  Concentration of credit risk with respect to receivables includes large numbers of customers being in the floor covering industry and also concentration in a single customer (20% and 14% of the accounts receivable balance at December 28, 2019 and December 29, 2018, respectively).  These risks are mitigated with credit insurance and the financial strength of the above-mentioned single customer.

Market Concentration - For the years ending December 28, 2019 and at December 29, 2018, one customer represented 10% and 13% of net sales, respectively.  All other customers were less than 5% of net sales.

Revenue Recognition – The Company accounts for its sales revenue in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“Topic 606”) as adopted December 30, 2018, the beginning of the fiscal year. Topic 606 provides a five-step revenue recognition model that is applied to the Company’s customer contracts. Under this model we (i) identify the contract with the customer, (ii) identify our performance obligations in the contract, (iii) determine the transaction price for the contract, (iv) allocate the transaction price to our performance obligations, and (v) recognize revenue when or as we satisfy our performance obligations. The adoption of this standard did not have a material effect on the Company’s financial statements.

Revenue is recognized upon transfer of control of the promised goods or the performance of the services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration expected to be receive in exchange for those goods or services. The Company enters into contracts that may include various combinations of products and services, which are generally distinct and accounted for as separate performance obligations.

Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Financial Statement of Live Ventures Inc. as of September 30, 2019 and for the year ended September 30, 2019

(Stated in thousands of dollars, except per share amounts)

Introduction

On November 1, 2019, Marquis Industries, Inc. (“Marquis”), a subsidiary of Live Ventures Inc (“Live”) entered into a purchase agreement, as amended (as amended, the “LOTC Purchase Agreement”), to acquire the outstanding capital stock of Lonesome Oak Trading Co., Inc. (“Lonesome Oak”).  Pursuant to the LOTC Purchase Agreement, Marquis will acquire from the sole shareholder of Lonesome Oak (the “LOTC Shareholder”) all of the issued and outstanding shares of capital stock of Lonesome Oak for $2,000. In addition, following the closing of the transaction, Lonesome Oak will be leasing back from the LOTC Shareholder certain properties owned by affiliates of the LOTC Shareholder that will be used in Lonesome Oak’s operations. Marquis will hold back $1,450 of the purchase price (the “Holdback Amount”) to satisfy claims for indemnity arising out of breaches of certain representations, warranties, and covenants, and certain other enumerated items, if any. In connection with the closing of the transaction, the LOTC Shareholder will enter into an employment agreement with a five-year term and will serve as Lonesome Oak’s Executive Vice President pursuant to the terms thereof. The parties expect that the transaction will close within the Company’s second fiscal quarter, subject to customary closing conditions.  The LOTC Purchase Agreement contains customary representations, warranties, and covenants. Subject to certain exceptions, the LOTC Shareholder has agreed to indemnify Marquis for breaches of certain representations, warranties, and covenants, and certain other enumerated items, if any. Indemnification by the LOTC Shareholder for breaches of certain representations and warranties is generally limited to the Holdback Amount. The LOTC Purchase Agreement contains a three-year non-competition covenant and non-solicitation covenant that apply to the LOTC Shareholder. The transaction closed on January 31, 2020.

The accompanying unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information was prepared in accordance with Article 11 of SEC Regulation S-X. The historical consolidated financial information in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information has been adjusted to give effect to pro forma events that are (1) directly attributable to the acquisition, (2) factually supportable and (3) with respect to the unaudited pro forma condensed combined statements of operations, expected to have a continuing impact on the combined results of Gardner Denver and Ingersoll Rand Industrial.

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information does not give effect to any cost savings, operating synergies or revenue synergies that may result from the merger or the costs to achieve any synergies.

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information has been presented for informational purposes only and is not necessarily indicative of what the combined company's financial position or results of operations would have been had the transactions been completed as of the dates indicated. In addition, the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information does not purport to project the future financial position or operating results of the combined company.

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information contains estimated    adjustments, based upon available information and certain assumptions that we believe are reasonable under the circumstances. The assumptions underlying the pro forma    adjustments  are described in greater detail in the accompanying notes to the unaudited    pro    forma combined financial information. In many cases, these assumptions were based on preliminary information and estimates.

As of September 30, 2019, pro forma total assets, liabilities and shareholders’ equity would have been $160, $125 and $35, respectively.  If the transaction had occurred on October 1, 2018, the pro forma income statement for the year ended September 30, 2019 would have reflected net loss of $5,915.  Pro forma basic and diluted loss per share would have increased $1.00 per common share to $3.11 per common share. Additionally, the pro forma income statement for the three months ended December 31, 2019 would have reflected net loss of $794.  Pro forma basic and diluted loss per share would have increased $0.74 per common share to $0.44 per common share.
