Exhibit
1
Dalrada
Financial Corporation
Basis
for Valuation of The Solvis Group for purposes of Transferring this Entity from
Dalrada to Quik Pix, Inc.
Background:
The
purpose of this memorandum is to provide an explanation of the assumptions and
estimates utilized in determining a fair value of The Solvis Group, presently a
wholly-owned subsidiary of Dalrada Financial Corporation, to be used to value
its intercompany sale to Quik Pix, Inc., a majority owned Dalrada Financial
Corporation subsidiary.
The
Solvis (Solvis) Group consists of four entities:
· |
Xxxxxxx
Staffing - Acquired September 1, 2003 |
· |
M&M
Nursing - Acquired July 1, 2004 |
· |
Pro
Health - Established December 2004 |
· |
ISI,
Incorporated - Acquired December 2004 |
All of
the above entities, with the exception of ISI, are wholly - owned and provide
staffing to their clients in their fields of expertise.
Valuation
Methodology:
The
balance sheets of the above entities do not have any significant tangible assets
or tangible net worth to form a basis for valuation. Accordingly, the valuation
is based on pro forma discounted cash flow for the calendar years 2005 through
2009.
In
addition to a discount factor, a risk factor has also been applied to represent
the fact that none of the contracts in place with respect to the above entities
are long-term and that the continuance of their revenue streams is contingent on
their quality of work, cost of service to the client and management of
receivables and overhead costs.
A term of
five years is being utilized as forecasting pro forma financial results or
operating results for a longer term has an extraordinary high risk of being
inaccurate to the extent that could flaw the entire valuation
process.
Individual
growth rate estimates were applied to each entity based upon its business base
and the likelihood of its achieving the estimated growth.
Xxxxxxx
Staffing:
Jackson
Staffing (Xxxxxxx) has two call center staff leasing operations with NCO, its
only customer. The centers are located in Jackson, Michigan and Pennsylvania. At
present, Xxxxxxx is at full capacity and no future growth can be anticipated
unless NCO decides to expand its call center operations.
NCO did
sign a contract with Xxxxxxx for a term of two years; however, it can be
cancelled by either party with thirty days written notice. As Xxxxxxx has been a
provider to NCO for a number of years and has a close relationship with its
management, a high probability exists for the first two years of keeping the
business but decreases over time as call center services in third world
countries grows to compete with the U.S. labor market.
For
purposes of this analysis, the results of operations for 2004 were used as the
annual value for all five years.
13
M&M
Nursing:
M&M
Nursing (M&M) provides staff registered nurses to hospitals to fill their
staffing needs both on a short and intermediate term basis. The previous owner
and now manager of this operation is a registered nurse who merged his company
into Solvis to be able to secure more volume work being associated with a larger
organization.
The
M&M pro forma financial assume a 5% annual growth rate. This rate was
selected taking into consideration the current high shortage of nursing
resources offset by new immigration laws curtailing the hiring and relocation of
foreign nursed to the United States. Based upon the ability of management to
identify, background check and deploy new nurses, it was concluded that a 5%
growth rate was reasonable.
It is
public knowledge that the present shortage of nurses will last for at least two
years and accordingly, no risk factor was applied for the first two years. In
subsequent years, however, a risk factor of 5%, 10% and 15% were used for years
2007, 2008 and 2009, respectively.
The pro
forma financial statements represent factoring expenses of 70% of eligible
receivables at 2%. As M&M continues to grow at a moderate rate, the
factoring requirements are expected to lessen and are reflected as
such.
Pro
Health is in a startup stage and is expected to grow at a higher rate than
traditional entities in the group except for the initial two years where name
recognition and quality of service need to become known in the market
place.
Regardless,
Pro Health, from a financial standpoint, is immaterial to the combined pro forma
financial statements of Solvis, taken as a whole.
ISI
ISI is a
staffing firm providing equipment, software design and implementation assistance
to two major automotive customers. It qualifies for minority treatment which
gives ISI a significant advantage over competing high technology staffing
firms.
Given the
automotive industries need to subcontract major technical projects, ISI’s
minority status and now, its affiliation with a larger organization such as
Solvis, it is reasonable to use a growth rate of 15%.
Historical
financial statements were used to estimate the pro forma results of operations
and a melded gross profit rate of 15% was used based upon historical
results.
The risk
factor, for mathematical purposes, was increased by 30% to provide for the
minority interest ownership in ISI. It should be noted that Solvis assumed
$622,000 of debt and $570,000 of accounts receivable. The net difference,
$52,000 will be deducted from the total estimated valuation.
Final
Valuation:
The final
valuation, after factoring in the excess debt assumed for ISI over the accounts
receivable, represents a fair valuation at this time and incorporates
management’s best estimates based upon information and history
available.
