Basis of Presentation The acquisition of Atlas Intermediate has been accounted for as a reverse recapitalization. Under this method of accounting, Atlas is treated as the acquired company and Atlas Intermediate is treated as the acquirer for financial reporting purposes. Therefore, the consolidated financial results include information regarding Atlas Intermediate as the Company’s predecessor entity. Thus, the financial statements included in this report reflect (i) the historical operating results of Atlas Intermediate prior to the Atlas Business Combination; (ii) the combined results of the Company and Atlas Intermediate following the Atlas Business Combination; (iii) the assets, liabilities and members’ capital of Atlas Intermediate at their historical costs; and (iv) the Company’s equity and earnings per share presented for the period from the Closing Date. The accompanying interim statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X issued by the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments and disclosures necessary for a fair statement of these interim statements have been included. The results reported in these interim statements are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be reported for the entire year or for any other period. These interim statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2019 included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K that the Company filed with the SEC on March 16, 2020 and Form 8-K/A filed with the SEC on March 16, 2020. Emerging Growth Company The Company is an “emerging growth company,” as defined in Section 2(a) of the Securities Act, as modified by the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012 (the “JOBS Act”), and it may take advantage of certain exemptions from various reporting requirements that are applicable to other public companies that are not emerging growth companies including, but not limited to, not being required to comply with the auditor attestation requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation in its periodic reports and proxy statements, and exemptions from the requirements of holding a nonbinding advisory vote on executive compensation and stockholder approval of any golden parachute payments not previously approved. Further, Section 102(b)(1) of the JOBS Act exempts emerging growth companies from being required to comply with new or revised financial accounting standards until private companies (that is, those that have not had a Securities Act registration statement declared effective or do not have a class of securities registered under the Exchange Act) are required to comply with the new or revised financial accounting standards. The JOBS Act provides that a company can elect to opt out of the extended transition period and comply with the requirements that apply to non-emerging growth companies but any such election to opt out is irrevocable. The Company has elected not to opt out of such extended transition period which means that when a standard is issued or revised and it has different application dates for public or private companies, the Company, as an emerging growth company, can adopt the new or revised standard at the time private companies adopt the new or revised standard. This may make comparison of the Company’s financial statements with another public company which is neither an emerging growth company nor an emerging growth company which has opted out of using the extended transition period difficult or impossible because of the potential differences in accounting standards used. Fiscal Year The Company’s subsidiaries report the results of operations based on 52 or 53-week periods ending on the Friday nearest December 31 while Atlas reports on a calendar year end. For clarity of presentation, all periods are presented as if the year ended on December 31. During each quarter, our subsidiaries will close on the Friday closest to March 31, June 30, and September 30 and Atlas will close on the actual calendar day. The impact of the difference between these dates was insignificant. The Company has appropriately eliminated all transactions between itself and its subsidiaries when presenting its balance sheet.

Emerging Growth Company

The Company is an “emerging growth company,” as defined in Section 2(a) of the Securities Act, as modified by the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012 (the “JOBS Act”), and it may take advantage of certain exemptions from various reporting requirements that are applicable to other public companies that are not emerging growth companies including, but not limited to, not being required to comply with the auditor attestation requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation in its periodic reports and proxy statements, and exemptions from the requirements of holding a nonbinding advisory vote on executive compensation and stockholder approval of any golden parachute payments not previously approved.
