INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT



To the Board of Directors Big 3 Holdings, LLC Centralia, Illinois

REPORT ON THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

We have audited the accompanying consolidated financial statements of Big 3 Holdings, LLC and Subsidiaries (collectively, the "Company"), which comprise the consolidated balance sheets as of December 31, 2018 and 2017, and the related consolidated statements of income, changes in members' equity and cash flows for the years then ended, and the related notes to the consolidated financial statements.

MANAGEMENT'S RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these consolidated financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America; this includes the design, implementation and maintenance of internal control relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of consolidated financial statements that are free of material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

AUDITOR'S RESPONSIBILITY

Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement.

An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditor's judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the entity's preparation and fair presentation of the consolidated financial statements in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity's internal control. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also  includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of significant accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the consolidated financial statements.

We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.

OPINION

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Big 3 Holdings, LLC and Subsidiaries as of December 31, 2018 and 2017, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for the years then ended in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

REPORT ON SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION
Our audits were conducted for the purpose of forming an opinion on the consolidated financial statements taken as a whole. The supplementary information on pages 19 to 21 is presented for purposes of additional analysis and is not a required part of the consolidated financial statements. Such information is the responsibility of management and was derived from and relates directly to the underlying accounting and other records used to prepare the consolidated financial statements. The information has been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audits of the consolidated financial statements and certain additional procedures, including comparing and reconciling such information directly to the underlying accounting and other records used to prepare the consolidated financial statements or to the consolidated financial statements themselves, and other additional procedures in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. In our opinion, the information is fairly stated in all material respects in relation to the consolidated financial statements as a whole.

BIG 3 HOLDINGS, LLC AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
DECEMBER 31, 2018 AND 2017

NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of presentation

The accompanying consolidated financial statements are presented on the accrual basis of accounting in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP").

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Big 3 Holdings, LLC and its wholly owned subsidiaries. Material intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Revenue recognition

Revenues are recognized upon transfer of title to the customer and is reported net of allowances for discounts and returns.

Accounts receivable

Accounts receivable are reported at gross sales price less any applicable customer payments, adjustments and an allowance for doubtful accounts, if any. The Company extends credit based on evaluation of customers' financial condition and generally does not require collateral. Accounts receivable are generally due under normal trade terms within 30 to 90 days of invoice date. Accounts receivable are assessed as past due based on the number of days unpaid since the invoice date. The Company does not charge interest on accounts receivable.
7


BIG 3 HOLDINGS, LLC AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
DECEMBER 31, 2018 AND 2017


The Company estimates an allowance for doubtful accounts on accounts receivable, which may not be fully collectible, based on the length of time an account is past due and an assessment of the customer's ability to pay. Accounts determined to be uncollectible are charged off against the allowance in the period of determination. Subsequent recoveries of previously charged off accounts are credited to the allowance in the period received.

Inventories

Inventories consist of raw materials, work in process and finished goods and are reported at the lower of cost or net realizable value, with cost determined by the first-in, first-out ("FIFO") method.

A reserve, if any, is provided to reduce any excess, obsolete or slow moving inventory to net realizable value. Market write-downs are classified as cost of goods sold.

Property and equipment

Property and equipment are reported at cost, net of accumulated depreciation, and include improvements that significantly add to productive capacity or extend useful lives. Costs of maintenance and repairs are charged to expense. When depreciable assets are disposed, the cost and related accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts, and any gain (except trade-ins) or loss is included in operations for the period. Gains on trade-ins are applied to reduce the cost of the new acquisition. Depreciation is recorded using the straight-line method over the assets' estimated useful lives, except for leasehold improvements, which are depreciated over the shorter of their estimated useful lives or the respective lease term.

Goodwill and other intangible assets

Goodwill represents the excess of purchase consideration over fair value of net assets acquired in business combinations and is not amortized. Impairment tests are performed at least annually. Any impairment in value is recognized in the consolidated statement of income during the period in which it is determined to have occurred.

Intangible assets with identifiable estimated useful lives consist of customer relationships, a trade name and a non-compete agreement and are amortized on a straight-line basis over the estimated benefit periods.

Amortization expense related to customer relationships, trade name and the non-compete agreement totaled $800,546 and $863,046 for the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively.

Long-lived assets

Management reviews the carrying value of its investment in long-lived assets whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable. If a long-lived asset is determined to be impaired, the amount recognized for impairment in the consolidated statements of income is equal to the difference between the asset's carrying and fair values.

BIG 3 HOLDINGS, LLC AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
DECEMBER 31, 2018 AND 2017

Financing fees

Financing fees are amortized over the life of the related debt. Amortization expense related to deferred financing costs totaled $105,629 for both the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017, and is included in interest expense on the consolidated statements of income. Amortization expense related to financing fees is expected to be $95,396 in 2019, $64,693 in 2020 and $105,992 in 2021.

Warranties

Warranties applicable to equipment sold by the Company are generally limited to programs provided by the original equipment manufacturer. Billings to original equipment manufacturers for reimbursement of warranty repair work are included in accounts receivable.

On a limited basis, the Company also sells extended warranty contracts to certain customers. Estimated costs applicable to the fulfillment of these future commitments are accrued and recognized in the period the extended warranty is sold based on past experience.

Manufacturing costs and expenses

Manufacturing costs consist of raw materials, direct labor and direct and indirect overhead. Direct overhead consists primarily of the costs of utilities, waste removal, freight and additives. Indirect overhead consists primarily of depreciation of plant and equipment.

Shipping and handling

The Company generally does not charge customers for shipping and handling. The related costs associated with shipping and handling are included in cost of goods sold.

Advertising

Advertising costs are expensed as incurred. Advertising expense amounted to $83,236 and $37,324 for the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively.

Income taxes

Holdings is treated as a partnership for federal income tax purposes. Consequently, taxable income or loss is passed through to the members individually and Holdings is not liable for federal income tax. IDI and Sur-Form are single-member LLCs and thus have no federal income tax filing requirement. Holdings, IDI and Sur-Form are liable for state excise taxes. Products and Mold are classified as C corporations under the Internal Revenue Code and thus are liable for both federal income and state excise taxes.

Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are computed for differences between the financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities. Such differences are expected to result in taxable or deductible amounts in the future based on enacted tax laws and rates applicable to the periods in which the differences are expected to affect taxable income. Valuation allowances are established when necessary to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized. Income tax expense is the tax payable or refundable for the period plus or minus the change during the period in deferred tax assets and liabilities.

BIG 3 HOLDINGS, LLC AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED STATEMENTS
DECEMBER 31, 2018 AND 2017


Management performs an evaluation of all income tax positions taken or expected to be taken in the course of preparing the Company's income tax returns to determine whether the income tax positions meet a "more likely than not" standard of being sustained under examination by the applicable taxing authorities. Management has performed its evaluation of all income tax positions taken on all open income tax returns and has determined that there were no positions taken that do not meet the "more likely than not" standard. Accordingly, there are no provisions for income taxes, penalties or interest receivable or payable relating to uncertain income tax positions in the accompanying consolidated financial statements.

Use of estimates

The preparation of 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 assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Recent authoritative accounting guidance

In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606). This guidance outlines a single comprehensive model for companies to use in accounting for revenue arising from contracts with customers and supersedes most current revenue recognition guidance, including industry-specific guidance. The core principle of the revenue model is that revenue is recognized when a customer obtains control of a good or service. A customer obtains control when it has the ability to direct the use of and obtain the benefits from the good or service. Transfer of control is not the same as transfer of risks and rewards, as it is considered in current guidance. The Company will also need to apply new guidance to determine whether revenue should be recognized over time or at a point in time. In August 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-14 which defers the effective date of ASU 2014-09 one year, making it effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018. The Company has not yet selected a transition method and is currently evaluating the impact that the updated standard will have on the consolidated financial statements.

Events occurring after reporting date

The Company has evaluated events and transactions that occurred between December 31, 2018 and April 29, 2019, the date the consolidated financial statements were available to be issued, for possible recognition or disclosure in the consolidated financial statements.

NOTE 3 - CONCENTRATIONS OF CREDIT RISK

The Company maintains cash balances at financial institutions whose accounts are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation ("FDIC") up to statutory limits. The Company's cash balances may, at times, exceed statutory limits. The Company has not experienced any losses in such accounts, and management considers this to be a normal business risk.

Approximately 51% and 43% of the Company's sales were to two customers during the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017. Accounts receivable from two and three customers amounted to approximately $5,847,000 and $6,410,000 at December 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively.

The Company purchased approximately 26% of its materials from a vendor during the year ended December 31, 2018. There were no such concentrations during 2017. Management believes that other suppliers could provide similar materials on comparable terms. A change in suppliers, however, could cause a delay in manufacturing and a possible loss of sales, which would adversely affect operating results. Accounts payable to this supplier amounted to approximately $459,000 at December 31, 2018

Class A units consist of a unit of limited liability company interest, which entitle the holder thereof to share in the profits, losses and distributions of the Company. This class of unit receives an amount per annum equal to 8% of the stated value per Class A unit, as adjusted for any dividends, combinations, splits, reclassifications and the like, with respect to the Class A units. This preferred return accrues from day to day, whether or not declared, and is cumulative and compounds annually. Class A units do not have voting rights. Each unit has a par value of $10 per unit. There were 557,176 Class A Units issued and outstanding as of December 31, 2018 and 2017.

The undeclared amounts of interest at December 31, 2018 and 2017 have not been accrued in the accompanying consolidated financial statements. At December 31, 2016, the Company had accumulated undeclared series A preferred interest of $76,484. During 2017, $228,281 of Series A preferred interest accumulated.

This amount was included in distributions paid during 2018 on the consolidated statements of changes in members' equity and cash flows.
