Basis of Presentation

Basis of Presentation

These unaudited interim consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto as of and for the period ended December 31, 2020 included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K (the “Annual Report”) filed with the SEC on March 31, 2021. The accompanying financial statements have been prepared by the Company in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 8 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP have been condensed or omitted. In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements for the periods presented reflect all adjustments, consisting of only normal, recurring adjustments, necessary to fairly state the Company’s financial position, results of operations and cash flows. The unaudited consolidated financial statements for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results for the full year. The preparation of these unaudited consolidated financial statements requires the Company to make estimates and judgments that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and the accompanying notes. The Company’s actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.

Use of Estimates

Use of Estimates

The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, and disclosure of contingent liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Management makes estimates that affect certain accounts including deferred income tax assets, accrued expenses, fair value of equity instruments and reserves for any other commitments or contingencies. Any adjustments applied to estimates are recognized in the period in which such adjustments are determined.

Reclassifications

Reclassifications

Certain amounts in prior periods have been reclassified to conform with current period presentation.

Principles of Consolidation

Principles of Consolidation

The Company’s policy is to consolidate all entities in which it has a controlling financial interest. For consolidated entities that are less than wholly-owned, the third party’s holding of equity interest is presented as noncontrolling interests in the Company’s consolidated balance sheets and consolidated statement of equity and redeemable noncontrolling interest. The portion of net income (loss) attributable to the noncontrolling interests is presented as net income (loss) attributable to noncontrolling interests in the Company’s unaudited consolidated statement of operations.

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Andover National Corporation and its consolidated subsidiaries, ANC Green Solutions I, ANC Potter’s, ANC Smith’s and ANC Zodega’s. All material inter-company balances and transactions have been eliminated.

Redeemable Noncontrolling Interest

Redeemable Noncontrolling Interest

The Company classifies noncontrolling interests that contain an option of the noncontrolling shareholders to require the Company to purchase their interest as redeemable noncontrolling interests within mezzanine equity on the Company’s consolidated balance sheet.

Concentration and credit risk

Concentration and Credit Risk

The Company maintains its cash in bank deposit accounts which, at times, may exceed federally insured limits. The Company has not experienced any losses in such accounts and periodically evaluates the credit worthiness of the financial institutions and has determined the credit exposure to be negligible.

Concentrations of credit risk with respect to trade accounts receivable are limited due to the number of customers comprising the customer base. No customer accounted for more than 10% of total revenue for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020.

Accounts Receivable

Accounts Receivable

Accounts receivable are recorded at the invoiced amount and do not bear interest. The Company reserves for all accounts that are deemed to be uncollectible and reviews its allowance for doubtful accounts regularly. The allowance is based on the age of receivables and a specific identification of receivables considered at risk. Account balances are written off against the allowance when the potential for recovery is considered remote.

The following table provides a roll forward of the allowance for doubtful accounts:

Property and Equipment

Property and equipment, stated at cost, are depreciated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful life of the asset, or for leasehold improvements, over the shorter of the estimated useful life or the lease term. As of September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the estimated useful lives (in years) of each of the Company’s classes of property and equipment were as follows:

 Useful Lives (in years)

Fair Value Measurements

Fair Value Measurements

Fair value measurements are based on the premise that fair value is an exit price representing the amount that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants. As such, fair value is a market-based measurement that should be determined based on assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability. As a basis for considering such assumptions, the following three-tier fair value hierarchy has been used in determining the inputs used in measuring fair value:

Level 1- Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities on the reporting date.

Level 2- Pricing inputs are based on quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active and model-based valuation techniques for which all significant assumptions are observable in the market or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities.

Level 3- Pricing inputs are generally unobservable and include situations where there is little, if any, market activity for the investment. The inputs into the determination of fair value require management’s judgment or estimation of assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the assets or liabilities. The fair values are therefore determined using factors that involve considerable judgment and interpretations, including but not limited to private and public comparables, third-party appraisals, discounted cash flow models and fund manager estimates.

Financial instruments measured at fair value are classified in their entirety based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. Management’s assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement in its entirety requires judgment and considers factors specific to the asset or liability. The use of different assumptions and/or estimation methodologies may have a material effect on estimated fair values. Accordingly, the fair value estimates disclosed, or initial amounts recorded may not be indicative of the amount that the Company or holders of the instruments could realize in a current market exchange.

As of September 30, 2021, and December 31, 2020, the recorded values of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable and notes payable, approximate the fair values due to the short-term nature of the instruments.

Recent Issued Accounting Pronouncements

Recent Issued Accounting Pronouncements

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13, Financial Instruments- Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments (“ASU 2016-13”). This guidance introduces a new model for recognizing credit losses on financial instruments based on an estimate of current expected credit losses. ASU 2016-13 also provides updated guidance regarding the impairment of available-for-sale debt securities and includes additional disclosure requirements. The new guidance is effective for public business entities that meet the definition of a Smaller Reporting Company as defined by the Securities and Exchange Commission for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2022. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this standard on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.
