Presentation of the Study Sample Clauses

Presentation of the Study. In the previous section, I discussed the results of the investigations on L2 learners of Italian with a low proficiency level. In particular, we have seen Chini‟s (1995) implicational scale in the early stages of the acquisition of agreement (§ 3.1); usefu l observations also come from White et al. (2004), Xxxxxxx (2012) and Xxxxxxx et al. (2012): learners with advanced proficiency may fail to produce agreement in some cases, but according to the MSIH this is due to processing and production errors (“mistakes”, in Corder‟s 1967 terminology) (Note 4). In Hopp (2013), problems with gender agreement are due to a lower activation of, and access to, gender nodes. Morever, Foote (2015) has shown that feminine nouns and nouns with opaque gender are more difficult to process. Finally, various neurolinguistic studies discussed in § 3.2 show that gender assignment is more difficult for L2 -learners than gender agreement, and that the latter depends on the former (e.g., in the LBH). In the present study, I chose to discuss gender agreement from a different angle: while the literature to date mainly focuses on the outcome of the acquisition process, here I would like to take a teacher‟s perspective, discussing two concrete cases of advanced L2 speakers (with German as L1) that still show a high number of errors in gender agreement. In line with the didactic aim of this paper, the methodology chosen is a qualitative discussion of some typical errors with the aim to help teachers to address the topic of gender agreement in the classroom – quantitative considerations, on the other hand, are beyond the scope of this paper. The data discussed in this study come from a corpus built of my own transcriptions of video interviews and video recipes that are available online; in these videos, the two analyzed speakers appear. Since both speakers have the same L1, it is possible that some error patterns may be due to negative transfer from the L1. However, I think that the most problematic areas, e.g. cases in which more than one modifier is present or in which agreement targets a DP-external modifier, should hold more generally, since they do not have any reflex in German; therefore, they should not be the result of a transfer from their L1. Accordingly with the paper‟s focus on the didactic level, the illustration and discussion of the errors found in the corpus is intended to suggest possible teaching interventions. On the one hand, teachers can learn what the most common error...

  • Basis of Presentation The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements were prepared in accordance with Article 11 of SEC Regulation S-X as amended by the final rule, Release No. 33-10786 “Amendments to Financial Disclosures about Acquired and Disposed Businesses.” Release No. 33-10786 replaces the existing pro forma adjustment criteria with simplified requirements to depict the accounting for the transaction (“Transaction Accounting Adjustments”) and present the reasonably estimable synergies and other transaction effects that have occurred or are reasonably expected to occur (“Management’s Adjustments”). XxxXxxx has elected not to present Management’s Adjustments and will only be presenting Transaction Accounting Adjustments in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information. The Transaction Accounting Adjustments presented in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information have been identified and presented to provide relevant information necessary for an understanding of the combined company upon consummation of the merger and the PIPE Investment. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet as of December 31, 2020 gives effect to the merger and the PIPE Investment as if they occurred on December 31, 2020. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2020 gives effect to the merger and the PIPE Investment as if they occurred on January 1, 2020. Management has made significant estimates and assumptions in its determination of the pro forma Transaction Accounting Adjustments. As the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information has been prepared based on these estimates, the final amounts recorded may differ materially from the information presented. The pro forma Transaction Accounting Adjustments reflecting the consummation of the merger and the PIPE Investment are based on certain currently available information and certain assumptions and methodologies that FinServ believes are reasonable under the circumstances. The pro forma Transaction Accounting Adjustments, which are described in the accompanying notes, may be revised as additional information becomes available and is evaluated. Therefore, it is likely that the actual adjustments will differ from the pro forma Transaction Accounting Adjustments, and it is possible the difference may be material. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information does not give effect to any anticipated synergies, operating efficiencies, tax savings, or cost savings that may be associated with the merger. FinServ and Katapult have not had any historical relationship prior to the merger. Accordingly, no pro forma Transaction Accounting Adjustments were required to eliminate activities between the companies. Amounts are presented in thousands, except for share and per share amounts or as otherwise specified. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information considers two redemption scenarios as follows: • Assuming no redemptions: This scenario assumes that no FinServ public stockholders exercise their redemption rights demanding redemption of their shares of Class A Common Stock for a pro rata portion of the funds in the Trust Account, and thus the full amount held in the Trust Account as of closing is available for the merger; and • Assuming maximum redemptions: This scenario assumes that FinServ public stockholders holding 17,537,289 shares of Class A Common Stock will exercise their redemption rights demanding redemption of their Class A Common Stock for a pro rata portion (approximately $10.05 per share) of the funds in the Trust Account. Under the merger agreement, it is a condition to Katapult’s obligations to close that after giving effect to any redemptions and the PIPE Investment, FinServ has at least $225 million in available distributable cash. This scenario gives effect to redemptions of 17,537,289 share of Class A Common Stock for aggregate redemption payments of $176.2 million using a per-share redemption price of $10.05 (due to investment related gains in the Trust Account). Any payments to FinServ public stockholders for redemptions would have a corresponding decrease on the Cash Consideration paid to the sellers in connection with the merger such that the cash outflows under either redemption scenario are the same. Additionally, any redemptions of shares of Class A Common Stock would have a correlated, but not direct, increase in the Stock Consideration paid to the sellers in connection with the merger. The difference in the relationship between shares redeemed and Stock Consideration issued is a result of the per-share redemption price being $10.05 (due to investment-related gains in the Trust Account) compared to the $10.00 per share assumed in determining the Share Consideration per the merger agreement. Under either scenario, the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information would be the same, and as such, the two scenarios have not been presented separately. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information and related notes have been derived from and should be read in conjunction with: • the audited historical financial statements of XxxXxxx as of and for the year ended December 31, 2020, and the related notes thereto, included elsewhere in this proxy statement/prospectus; • the audited historical consolidated financial statements of Katapult as of and for the year ended December 31, 2020, and the related notes thereto, included elsewhere in this proxy statement/prospectus; and • the sections entitled “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations of FinServ,” “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operation of Katapult,” and other financial information relating to XxxXxxx and Katapult included elsewhere in this proxy statement/prospectus. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information is for illustrative purposes only and is not necessarily indicative of what the actual results of operations and financial position would have been had the merger and PIPE Investment taken place on the dates indicated, nor are they indicative of the future consolidated results of operations or financial position of the combined company.
