Le@P Technology, Inc. and Subsidiaries
Notes to Condensed Consolidated
Financial Statements
June 30, 2016
(Unaudited)
Le@P Technology, Inc. (the “Company”)
currently has no business operations, no revenues or revenue-producing activities. As further discussed below, the Company has limited cash, and ongoing expenses as well as substantial indebtedness and liabilities
.
As previously reported i
n the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K and 8-K/A dated December 31, 2015 (the “December 2015 8-K”), in December 2015 the Company received a $100,000 loan (the “December 2015 Loan”), on the terms disclosed (including a 2.50% interest rate and maturity date for principal and all accrued interest of March 31, 2017), from the
M. Lee Pearce Living Trust (the “Majority Stockholder Trust”), of which the Company’s indirect and beneficial majority stockholder, M. Lee Pearce, M.D. (“Dr. Pearce”), is the 100% beneficial owner (Dr. Pearce, together with entities owned or controlled by him that own capital stock of the Company, are collectively referred to as the “Majority Stockholder”)
. The Majority Stockholder’s beneficial ownership of the Company’s issued and outstanding capital stock is reported under Item 12 (in the section entitled “Security Ownership of Certain Beneficial Owners and Management and Related Stockholder Matters”) below. The Company has received no additional loans, advances or funding, from the Majority Stockholder Trust or any other party, since December 2015. Based on the Company’s year-to-date and anticipated operating expenses and management’s internally prepared cash budget for the 9-month period ending March 31, 2017 (the “9-month Cash Budget”), management believes that the Company’s current cash and cash equivalents will be sufficient to fund the Company’s working capital requirements at least through March 31, 2017. The Company’s 9-Month Cash Budget includes allocations for the funding of up to $15,000 for the investigation and initial pursuit of possible acquisition, joint venture and investment opportunities as discussed further below (including due diligence, investigation and initial/preliminary legal expenses, but not purchase price or legal or accounting expenses associated with negotiating, reaching a definitive agreement regarding or consummating any such transaction).
During 2016, the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Board” or “Board of Directors”) plans to continue to consider and (as applicable and as it deems appropriate) pursue, subject to budget and cash constraints, potential acquisition and possibly joint venture and investment opportunities (particularly those in the health care technology, products and services and life sciences arenas) (“Opportunities”) that may come to the attention of Board members or management. This may include Opportunities introduced by Dr. Pearce or his network of contacts. The Board from time to time also evaluates other alternatives with respect to the Company and its future. The Board held a number of planning discussions regarding the Company’s pursuit of Opportunities during 2015 with both management and, through a Board representative, with Dr. Pearce, and this process remains the subject of Board discussion and review. As of June 30, 2016, the Company was not evaluating or pursuing any specific Opportunities.
As noted above, t
he Company’s 9-month Cash Budget includes an allocation
of up to $15,000
for limited funding of
the investigation and initial pursuit of possible O
pportunities. The ability of the Company to identify, reach (preliminary or definitive) agreement on and/or ultimately consummate any such Opportunity is dependent upon, among other things, the Company’s ability to obtain additional funding and financing for, and to source, negotiate and execute on, such Opportunities (and to fund and provide for post-transaction personnel, support, working capital and other needs as applicable).
The only material asset of the Company (other than cash and cash equivalents and prepaid expenses) is the
Real Property, which is owned by
Le@P Technology, Inc.’s
wholly-owned subsidiary, Parkson.
The Real Property is zoned light industrial, consists of approximately one and one-third acres and is currently undeveloped and unleased. In order to lease the Real Property, certain regulatory compliance and possibly development matters would need to be addressed (and the expenses associated therewith paid). The Real Property is encumbered by a note (as discussed and defined further in Item 2 below, the “December 2015 Parkson Replacement Note”) and related mortgage in the aggregate principal amount as of December 31, 2015 of $916,183. The December 2015 Parkson Replacement Note bears interest at the rate of 2.50% per annum and matures (both principal and all accrued interest) on March 31, 2017. The Company realized $1,400 in rental income associated with the Real Property in 2015, and had operating, financing and insurance costs associated with the Real Property that exceeded the income realized
.
As reported on the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K dated April 15, 2016 (the “April 2016 8-K), subsequent to March 31, 2016 the Company entered into a material definitive agreement on April 15, 2016 to sell Real Property owned by the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiary Parkson Property, L.L.C.
The contract provides for (i) a gross sale price of $1.4 million (all cash, with no financing contingency), (ii) an escrow deposit from Buyer of $100,000, (iii) a 90-day “free look” period (the “Inspection Period”) during which Buyer could conduct a Phase I environmental assessment and other tests, surveys, investigations and inspections, (iv) conveyance of the property by special warranty deed at a closing to occur within fifteen (15) days of the end of the Inspection Period, (v) closing costs to be paid by the parties, and (vi) other matters included in Florida Association of Realtors form contracts addressing the sale and purchase of vacant land. In addition,
commissions of 3% are to be paid to the Buyer’s agent and 3% to the Company’s agent. The Company’s agent is Marquette Realty Advisors, Inc. The Company’s Class B Director, Chairman and President (Timothy C. Lincoln) is the principal and beneficial owner of Marquette Realty Advisors, Inc.
The Company’s total indebtedness outstanding
as of June 30, 2016
was $3,979,607 (excluding accrued interest in the amount of $49,881). The Company’s indebtedness substantially exceeds the book value of its assets. As noted above, in December 2015, (i) the Company received the
$100,000 December 2015 Loan from
Majority Stockholder Trust,
and (ii) through the
December 2015 Parkson Replacement Note, the lender thereunder (an entity wholly-owned by Dr. Pearce), among other things, extended the maturity date (principal and all accrued interest) under that note from March 31, 2016 to March 31, 2017. In addition, as previously reported i
n the Company’s December 2015 8-K and 8-K/A, in December 2015, the
Majority Stockholder Trust, among other things, agreed to extend the maturity date (principal and all accrued interest) on its other outstanding “working capital” loans to the Company (totaling
$2,963,424
in principal amount as of December 31, 2015
, excluding the $100,000 December 2015 Loan amount
), such that t
he principal and all accrued interest (at the rate of 2.50% per annum) are due in one lump sum on March 31, 2017. A
s noted above, the Company’s
management believes, based on the Company’s recent and expected operating expenses and the 9-month Cash Budget, that the Company’s cash resources will be sufficient to fund the Company’s working capital requirements at least through March 31, 2017.
Operating Losses and Cash Flow Deficiencies
As noted above and in previous reports filed by the Company with
the Securities Exchange Commission (the “SEC”)
,
the Company
currently has no business operations, no revenues or revenue-producing activities, and has limited cash, and ongoing expenses as well as substantial indebtedness and liabilities
.
Throughout its recent history, the Company has relied entirely upon the Majority Stockholder Trust (and other affiliates of Dr. Pearce) to fund working capital and expenses (and to extend maturities on indebtedness owing to the Majority Stockholder Trust and other affiliates of Dr. Pearce), acting in its (and their) discretion. The Company has received no loans, advances or funding, from the Majority Stockholder Trust or any other party, since December 2015. Neither the Majority Stockholder Trust nor any other party has
made any commitment or undertaken any obligation
to provide additional funding or financing to the Company (or to extend the maturity dates on existing indebtedness), including in connection with working capital needs, preparing, negotiating, reaching a definitive agreement with respect to or consummating any Opportunities or furthering the commercial development or improvement of the Real Property.
There can be no assurance that the Majority Stockholder Trust (or any other affiliate of Dr. Pearce or any other party) will provide funding or financing to the Company, or that the Majority Stockholder Trust (or any other affiliate of Dr. Pearce) will agree to extend the maturity dates on any existing indebtedness.
In addition, if the Majority Stockholder Trust
(or any affiliate of Dr. Pearce)
, in its discretion, were to provide or facilitate any such additional funding or financing, there can be no assurance that the Majority Stockholder Trust (or such affiliate) would continue to do so (or extend maturity dates on existing indebtedness) in the future, or regarding the amount, terms, restrictions or conditions of any such funding or financing.
The Company’s sourcing of additional funding or financing to enable it to fund its working capital requirements beyond March 31, 2017 may require significant effort, costs and expenditures, and if the Company succeeds in obtaining such funding or financing, the terms and conditions could be onerous and result in substantial dilution of existing capital stock positions as well as increased interest expense.

Notes Payable to Related Parties
|
As noted above, Le@P Technology, Inc.’s wholly-owned subsidiary, Parkson, owns the Real Property. Parkson purchased the Real Property on September 28, 2001 from Bay Colony Associates, Ltd. (“Bay Colony”), an entity wholly-owned by Dr. Pearce, in exchange for a two-month note in the amount of $37,500, and a five-year note (the “Long Term Note”) and related mortgage in the amount of $712,500. The purchase price was based on an independent third-party appraisal. As previously reported in the Company’s December 2015 8-K and 8-K/A, the Long Term Note was replaced a number of times and is currently evidenced by the December 2015 Parkson Replacement Note (as defined above) in the principal amount of $916,183. The December 2015 Parkson Replacement Note bears interest at the rate of 2.50% per annum, with both principal and all accrued interest due in one lump sum on March 31, 2017.
As previously reported in the Company’s December 2015 8-K and 8-K/A, and as discussed above, the Majority Stockholder Trust, of which Dr. Pearce is the 100% beneficial owner, provided the Company with the $100,000 December 2015 Loan in December 2015. The Company has received no additional loans, advances or funding, from the Majority Stockholder Trust or any other party, since December of 2015.
In addition to the December 2015 Loan, the Majority Stockholder Trust previously made other working capital loans to the Company, which were, prior to their combination and extension (as described below), evidenced by a combined promissory note made by the Company in favor of the Majority Stockholder Trust and dated December 27, 2014 (in the original principal amount of $2,852,359) (the “2014 Working Capital Note”). The maturity date of the 2014 Working Capital Note was, prior to its agreed extension (as described below), March 31, 2016.
As previously reported initially in the Company’s December 2015 8-K and 8-K/A, and as discussed above, on December 31, 2015, the Majority Stockholder Trust, as holder of and payee under the 2014 Working Capital Note, agreed: (i) to extend the maturity date of the total outstanding indebtedness under the 2014 Working Capital Note from March 31, 2016 to March 31, 2017 (the “Extended Maturity Date”), and (ii) to combine the total outstanding indebtedness evidenced by and under the December 2015 Loan (as described above) and the 2014 Working Capital Note (including its outstanding principal amount and accrued interest through December 30, 2015) into a single promissory note, thereby replacing the 2014 Working Capital Note with a 2015 Combined Promissory Note (Working Capital) dated December 31, 2015 in the principal amount of $3,063,424 (the “2015 Combined Promissory Note”). The principal and all accrued interest – at the agreed rate of 2.50% per annum – under the 2015 Combined Promissory Note are due in one lump sum on the Extended Maturity Date of March 31, 2017. Other than the new (combined) principal amount, which includes the principal amount of the December 2016 Loan, the reduction of the rate to 2.50% per annum from 3.75% per annum, and the extension of the maturity date, in each case as noted above, the terms of the 2014 Working Capital Note were not changed and this note (and the obligations thereunder) is now incorporated in and replaced and evidenced by the 2015 Combined Promissory Note.
Throughout its recent history, the Company has relied entirely upon the Majority Stockholder Trust (and other affiliates of Dr. Pearce) to fund working capital and expenses (and to extend maturities on indebtedness owing to the Majority Stockholder Trust and other affiliates of Dr. Pearce), acting in its (and their) discretion. The Company has received no loans, advances or funding, from the Majority Stockholder Trust or any other party, since December 2015. Neither the Majority Stockholder Trust nor any other party has
made any commitment or undertaken any obligation
to provide additional funding or financing to the Company (or to extend the maturity dates on existing indebtedness). There can be no assurance that the Majority Stockholder Trust (or any other affiliate of the Majority Stockholder or any other party) will provide funding or financing to the Company, or that the Majority Stockholder Trust (or any other affiliate of the Majority Stockholder) will agree to extend the maturity dates on any existing indebtedness. In addition, if the Majority Stockholder Trust (or any affiliate of the Majority Stockholder), in its discretion, were to provide or facilitate any such funding or financing, there can be no assurance that the Majority Stockholder Trust would continue to do so (or extend maturity dates on existing indebtedness) in the future, or regarding the amount, terms, restrictions or conditions of any such funding or financing.
All of the Company’s existing outstanding indebtedness is scheduled to mature on March 31, 2017. The total amount of such indebtedness (principal and interest), all due to related parties, as of June 30, 2016 was $4,029,489.

Financial Instruments and Fair Values
|
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 or liquidation sale. Fair value estimates are made at a specific point in time, based upon relevant market information about the financial instrument.
The carrying amount of cash and cash equivalents approximates fair value due to the short-term maturities of these instruments.
The fair values of all other financial instruments, including debt, approximate their book values as the instruments are short-term in nature or contain market rates of interest.
