UNAUDITED PRO FORMA COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Exhibit 99.3

UNAUDITED PRO FORMA COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

As previously reported, CardConnect Corp. (“CardConnect”) has entered into that certain Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of April 3, 2017 (the “Merger Agreement”), by and among CardConnect, CCN Chicago, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of CardConnect (“Merger Sub”), MertzCo, Inc., an Illinois corporation and independent sales agent of CardConnect (“MertzCo”), and Xxxxxxx X. Xxxxx, the sole stockholder of MertzCo (“Seller”). Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, CardConnect acquired MertzCo in exchange for cash and the issuance of shares of CardConnect’s common stock. Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, MertzCo was merged with and into Merger Sub, with Merger Sub continuing as the surviving entity following such merger (the “Merger”).

The Unaudited Pro Forma Combined Balance Sheet as of December 31, 2016 gives effect to the Merger as if it had been consummated on December 31, 2016 and includes historical data as reported by the separate companies. The Unaudited Pro Forma Combined Statement of Operations for the year ended December 31, 2016 gives effect to the Merger as if it had been consummated on January 1, 2016. Both the Unaudited Pro Forma Combined Balance Sheet and the Unaudited Pro Forma Combined Statement of Operations (collectively, the “pro forma financial statements”) include historical data as reported by the separate companies as well as adjustments that are (a) directly attributable to the Merger, (b) factually supportable and (c) with respect to the Unaudited Pro Forma Combined Statement of Operations, expected to have a continuing effect on the combined results of CardConnect.

The pro forma adjustments reflecting the consummation of the Merger are based upon the acquisition method of accounting in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”) and upon the assumptions set forth in the notes to the pro forma financial statements. The pro forma financial statements and related notes are being provided for illustrative purposes only and do not purport to represent the actual consolidated results of operations or financial position of CardConnect had the Merger been completed on the dates indicated, nor are they necessarily indicative of CardConnect’s future consolidated results of operations or financial position for any future period. The pro forma financial statements are based upon currently available information and estimates and assumptions that CardConnect’s management believes are reasonable as of the date of this Current Report on Form 8-K. The pro forma financial statements do not reflect any adjustments for the effect of non-recurring items or operating synergies that we may realize as a result of the Merger. Any of the factors underlying these estimates and assumptions may change and, as a result, CardConnect’s actual consolidated results of operations and/or financial position could be materially different than described herein.

The Merger was accounted for as a business combination (in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 805 Business Combinations), and as such the MertzCo assets acquired and liabilities assumed were recorded at their respective fair values. The determination of fair value for the identifiable tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed requires extensive use of accounting estimates and judgments. The assumptions used and adjustments made in preparing the pro forma financial statements are described in the notes, and are preliminary and subject to change. The notes should be read in conjunction with the pro forma financial statements. In addition, the pro forma financial statements and related notes should be read in conjunction with CardConnect’s financial statements and related notes included in CardConnect’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2016, 2015 and 2014, and the financial statements and related notes included in MertzCo’s financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2016, filed as Exhibit 99.2 to this Current Report on Form 8-K.

The pro forma financial statements included in this Current Report on Form 8-K have been independently prepared by the management of CardConnect and MertzCo. Xxxxxxx and Co., LLP’s report included in this Current Report on Form 8-K related to the MertzCo financial statements and related notes for the year ended December 31, 2016 relate to the historical financial information of MertzCo. Their report does not extend to the pro forma financial statements and should not be read to do so.

Notes to the Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Balance Sheet

(A)	Derived from the audited consolidated balance sheet of CardConnect Corp. (“CardConnect”) as of December 31, 2016.
(B)	Derived from the audited balance sheet of MertzCo, Inc. (“MertzCo”) as of December 31, 2016.

(1)	Reflects proceeds from a $12,000,000 draw on CardConnect’s first lien credit facility.
(2)	Represents the pro forma entries to record the acquisition of MertzCo, recording the cash paid and the Common Stock issued as consideration and the purchase price of the acquisition in excess of the fair value of acquired assets.

Calculation of consideration:

	Cash consideration at closing		$	12,000,000
	Common stock consideration issued at closing
	Shares issued			1,982,932
	Fair value of shares issued		$	13.62
	Total common stock consideration issued		$	17,000,000
	Total consideration		$	39,000,000

Calculation of purchase price in excess of net assets acquired:

	Total consideration to sellers at closing		$	39,000,000
	Net assets acquired
	Total assets, December 31, 2016			1,148,539
	Total liabilities, December 31, 2016			495,576
	Net book value, December 31, 2016			652,963
	Excess of purchase price over net book value of assets acquired		$	38,347,037

This preliminary purchase price allocation has been used to prepare pro forma adjustments in the pro forma balance sheet and statement of operations. The final purchase price allocation will be determined when CardConnect has completed the detailed valuations and necessary calculations. CardConnect’s management has made the initial determination that all assets and liabilities to be acquired are primarily estimated to be stated at their fair values, which approximates their recorded cost. The final allocation could differ materially from the preliminary allocation used in the pro forma adjustments. The final allocation may include (1) changes in fair values of property, plant and equipment, (2) changes in allocations to intangible assets such as merchant relationships, agent relationships and non-compete agreements, as well as goodwill and (3) other changes to assets and liabilities.  

While a final determination of the value of identifiable intangibles has not been completed, management has made an initial determination that approximately $24,350,000 of the excess of cost over the net book value of the net assets should be allocated to identifiable intangible assets as shown in the table below:  

Estimated identifiable intangible assets:

		Useful Life (Years)			Fair Value
	Merchant relationships	7		$	14,092,000
	Agent relationships	11			9,715,000
	Non-compete agreements	5			543,000
	Total initially estimated identifiable intangible assets			$	24,350,000

Based on the above estimate of identifiable intangibles, the unidentified excess of purchase price over fair value of assets acquired of $13,997,037 has been recorded as goodwill.  

(3)	To eliminate intercompany receivable/payable for residuals due to MertzCo as of December 31, 2016.
(4)	To reclassify MertzCo’s income taxes payable to prepaid income taxes.
(5)	Reflects estimated costs of completing the merger, primarily legal and accounting fees.
