Independent Auditors’ Report

To the Stockholders

Rimports Inc. and Subsidiaries

Report on the Consolidated Financial Statements

We have audited the accompanying consolidated financial statements of Rimports Inc. and Subsidiaries, which comprise the consolidated balance sheet as of February 28, 2017, and the related consolidated statement of comprehensive income, changes in stockholders’ equity, and cash flows for the year then ended, and the related notes to the financial statements.

Management’s Responsibility for the 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 from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

Auditors’ 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 from 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 auditors’ 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 Rimports Inc. and Subsidiaries as of February 28, 2017, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for the period then ended in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Emphasis of Matter

As further discussed in Note 7, the Company has a large sales concentration with one customer. Although there is no formal continuing contract with this customer, the Company has an ongoing relationship with this customer and does not anticipate any reductions or changes to the scope of this relationship.

Rimports Inc. and Subsidiaries

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

February 28, 2017

Note 1 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Nature of Business and Principles of Consolidation

Rimports Inc. is a Utah-based manufacturing and distributing company that specializes in home products for mass market distribution. Rimports (Canada) LTD. is a Canadian distributing corporation, with 100 shares issued and authorized, and is a 100% owned subsidiary of Rimports Inc. During the 14 months ended February 29, 2016 a new subsidiary in China, Rimports (Shenzen), LLC, was formed. It is a 100% owned subsidiary of Rimports Inc. and has not yet begun principal operations (collectively, Rimports Inc., Rimports (Canada) LTD., and Rimports (Shenzen), LLC are referred to herein as the Company). The Company’s primary product line is wickless candle products consisting of wax and wax warmers and is marketed under the brand name “ScentSationals.”

All material intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

During the 14 months ended February 29, 2016, the Company changed its name from Rimports (USA) LLC to Rimports Inc. and became an S Corporation.

Fiscal Year-End Change

The stockholders approved a change to the Company’s fiscal year-end from December 31 to the last day in February. As a result of this change, the fiscal year-end 2016 was a 14-month period beginning January 1, 2015 and ending February 29, 2016.

The following table shows the fiscal months included within the financial statements and footnotes for fiscal 2017.

2017 -March 2016 - February 2017

Method of Accounting and Use of Estimates

The Company’s accounting policies conform to accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP). The preparation of 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 financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Significant estimates include an allowance for customer chargebacks, an allowance for obsolete and slow-moving inventory, and allocations of overhead to inventories. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Revenue Recognition

Revenue is recognized only when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, delivery has occurred or services have been rendered, the seller’s price is fixed or determinable and collectability is reasonably assured. Taxes assessed by governmental authorities on the sale of products are excluded from net revenues.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

The Company considers short-term investments with original maturities of 3 months or less to be cash equivalents. The Company maintains bank accounts at financial institutions which, at times, may exceed federally insured limits. The Company has not experienced any losses in such accounts.

Rimports Inc. and Subsidiaries

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

February 28, 2017

Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Chargebacks

Trade receivables are recorded at the invoice amount. The Company maintains an allowance for customer chargebacks for invoice differences, such as defective units and quantities shipped short of items billed, based on historical experience and management’s knowledge of its customers’ receiving and payment practices. Based on this analysis, management determined that an allowance for chargebacks of $1,892,983 was appropriate as of February 28, 2017. Management has determined that no allowance for doubtful accounts is necessary based on the nature of their major customer and payment histories of other customers. See Note 7.

Inventory

At February 28, 2017 all inventories are valued at average cost. Such valuations are not in excess of net realizable value. Finished goods inventory includes materials, labor, and allocated overhead. Management identifies and evaluates slow moving and obsolete inventory and adjusts the carrying value of inventory accordingly through cost of goods sold when needed. Based on this analysis, management determined that an allowance for obsolete and slow-moving inventory of $5,305,922 was appropriate as of February 28, 2017.

Inventories consist of the following:

	2017
Raw materials and supplies	$	4,191,754
Finished goods	26,519,346
Allowance	(5,305,922		)
	$	25,405,178

Fixed Assets and Depreciation

Fixed assets are recorded at cost. Provisions for depreciation of fixed assets are computed on the straight-line method over estimated useful lives of 3 - 7 years. Leasehold improvements are amortized to depreciation expense over the lesser of the estimated useful life of the asset or the lease term. Depreciation expense for the period ended February 28, 2017 totaled $676,646, and is included in cost of goods sold and other operating expenses on the income statement.

The Company evaluates the carrying value of its long-lived assets whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of the asset may be impaired. An impairment loss is recognized when estimated future cash flows expected to result from the use of the assets, including disposition, are less than the carrying value of the asset.

Maintenance, repairs, and renewals, which neither materially add to the value of the property nor appreciably prolong its life, are charged to expense as incurred. Gains and losses from dispositions of fixed assets are reflected in income.

Shipping and Handling Costs

The Company includes shipping and handling costs in costs of goods sold on the consolidated statement of comprehensive income. Shipping and handling fees charged to customers are included in net sales.

Rimports Inc. and Subsidiaries

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

February 28, 2017

Income Taxes

Rimports (USA) LLC was organized as a limited liability company and elected to be taxed under the partnership provisions of the Internal Revenue Code through July 31, 2015. Effective August 1, 2015 Rimports (USA) LLC converted to a corporation, Rimports Inc., and elected to be taxed as an S corporation. Under those provisions, the Company does not pay federal corporate income tax on its earned income. Instead, the members/shareholders are liable for individual federal income taxes on earned income. Therefore, no provision or liability for income taxes has been included in the consolidated financial statements. Although the Company changed its fiscal year-end for financial reporting purposes, Rimports Inc. files tax returns on a calendar year-end. There was no change to the tax status of Rimports (Canada) LTD.

Guidance on accounting for uncertainty in income taxes requires management to evaluate the Company's tax positions. Management concluded that the Company has taken no uncertain tax positions that require adjustment to the financial statements to comply with the provisions of this guidance. With few exceptions, the Company is no longer subject to income tax examinations by U.S. federal, state, local, or Chinese tax authorities for years before 2013. The Company is no longer subject to income tax examinations by Canadian authorities for years before 2009.

Advertising Costs

Advertising costs are expensed as incurred. The Company’s advertising expense for the period ended February 28, 2017 was $198,560.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The carrying amounts reported in the accompanying balance sheet for cash, certificate of deposit, accounts receivable, and accounts payable approximate fair values because of the immediate or short-term maturities of these financial instruments.

The fair value of the long-term debt is estimated using discounted cash flow analyses, based on the borrowing rates currently available to the Company for bank loans with similar items and average maturities. The fair value of the Company’s notes payable approximated its carrying value at February 28, 2017.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In July 2015, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2015-11, Inventory (Topic 330): Simplifying the Measurement of Inventory, which amends the accounting standards related to subsequent measurement of inventory to use a lower of cost or net realizable value test instead of the current lower of cost or market test. ASU 2015-11 is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016, with early adoption being permitted. During the period ended February 29, 2016 the Company adopted this standard in order to simplify the subsequent measurement of its inventories. The Company applied this standard prospectively, as required. Adoption of this standard had no effect on the valuation of inventories.

In February 2016 the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842), which requires substantially all leases to be recorded as assets and lease liabilities on the balance sheet. It is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, with early adoption permitted. The standard is required to be adopted using a modified retrospective transition. The Company has not yet evaluated its leases to determine the impact this standard will have.

In May 2014 the FASB issued ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606), which supersedes most existing revenue recognition standards. It is effective for annual periods

Rimports Inc. and Subsidiaries

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

February 28, 2017

beginning after December 15, 2018. There are several other ASUs issued that amend and clarify this ASU. The standard is required to be adopted using a retrospective transition. The Company has not yet evaluated the impact these standards will have on its revenue recognition.

Note 1 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Nature of Business and Principles of Consolidation

Rimports Inc. is a Utah-based manufacturing and distributing company that specializes in home products for mass market distribution. Rimports (Canada) LTD. is a Canadian distributing corporation, with 100 shares issued and authorized, and is a 100% owned subsidiary of Rimports Inc. During the 14 months ended February 29, 2016 a new subsidiary in China, Rimports (Shenzen), LLC, was formed. It is a 100% owned subsidiary of Rimports Inc. and has not yet begun principal operations (collectively, Rimports Inc., Rimports (Canada) LTD., and Rimports (Shenzen), LLC are referred to herein as the Company). The Company’s primary product line is wickless candle products consisting of wax and wax warmers and is marketed under the brand name “ScentSationals.”

All material intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

On August 1, 2015 the Company changed its name from Rimports (USA) LLC to Rimports Inc. and became an S Corporation.

Fiscal Year-End Change

In 2015 the stockholders approved a change to the Company’s fiscal year-end from December 31 to the last day in February.

Method of Accounting and Use of Estimates

The Company’s accounting policies conform to accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP). The preparation of 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 financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Significant estimates include an allowance for customer chargebacks, an allowance for obsolete and slow-moving inventory, and allocations of overhead to inventories. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Revenue Recognition

Revenue is recognized only when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, delivery has occurred or services have been rendered, the seller’s price is fixed or determinable and collectability is reasonably assured. Taxes assessed by governmental authorities on the sale of products are excluded from net revenues.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

The Company considers short-term investments with original maturities of 3 months or less to be cash equivalents. The Company maintains bank accounts at financial institutions which, at times, may exceed federally insured limits. The Company has not experienced any losses in such accounts.

Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Chargebacks

Trade receivables are recorded at the invoice amount. The Company maintains an allowance for customer chargebacks for invoice differences, such as defective units and quantities shipped short of items billed, based on historical experience and management’s knowledge of its customers’ receiving and payment practices. Based on this analysis, management determined that an allowance for chargebacks of $2,505,976 was appropriate as of November 30, 2017. Management has determined that no allowance for doubtful accounts is necessary based on the nature of their major customer and payment histories of other customers. See Note 7.

Inventory

At November 30, 2017 all inventories are valued at average cost. Such valuations are not in excess of net realizable value. Finished goods inventory includes materials, labor, and allocated overhead. Management identifies and evaluates slow moving and obsolete inventory and adjusts the carrying value of inventory accordingly through cost of goods sold when needed. Based on this analysis, management determined that an allowance for obsolete

7

RIMPORTS INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

AS OF AND FOR THE NINE MONTHS THEN ENDED NOVEMBER 30, 2017 (unaudited)

and slow-moving inventory of $5,416,107 was appropriate as of November 30, 2017.

	November 30,
Inventories Consist of the following:	2017
Raw Materials	$	5,489,613
Finished Goods	22,980,488
Allowance	(5,416,107		)
Total	$	23,053,994

Fixed Assets and Depreciation

Fixed assets are recorded at cost. Provisions for depreciation of fixed assets are computed on the straight-line method over estimated useful lives of 3 - 7 years. Leasehold improvements are amortized to depreciation expense over the lesser of the estimated useful life of the asset or the lease term. Depreciation expense for the the nine month period ended November 30, 2017 totaled $479,458 and is included in cost of goods sold and other operating expenses on the income statement.

The Company evaluates the carrying value of its long-lived assets whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of the asset may be impaired. An impairment loss is recognized when estimated future cash flows expected to result from the use of the assets, including disposition, are less than the carrying value of the asset.

Maintenance, repairs, and renewals, which neither materially add to the value of the property nor appreciably prolong its life, are charged to expense as incurred. Gains and losses from dispositions of fixed assets are reflected in income.

Shipping and Handling Costs

The Company includes shipping and handling costs in costs of goods sold on the consolidated statement of comprehensive income. Shipping and handling fees charged to customers are included in net sales.

Income Taxes

Rimports (USA) LLC was organized as a limited liability company and elected to be taxed under the partnership provisions of the Internal Revenue Code through July 31, 2015. Effective August 1, 2015 Rimports (USA) LLC converted to a corporation, Rimports Inc., and elected to be taxed as an S corporation. Under those provisions, the Company does not pay federal corporate income tax on its earned income.

Instead, the members/shareholders are liable for individual federal income taxes on earned income. Therefore, no provision or liability for income taxes has been included in the consolidated financial statements. Although the Company changed its fiscal year-end for financial reporting purposes, Rimports Inc. files tax returns on a calendar year-end. There was no change to the tax status of Rimports (Canada) LTD.

Guidance on accounting for uncertainty in income taxes requires management to evaluate the Company's tax positions. Management concluded that the Company has taken no uncertain tax positions that require adjustment to the financial statements to comply with the provisions of this guidance. With few exceptions, the Company is no longer subject to income tax examinations by U.S. federal, state, local, or Chinese tax authorities for years before 2013. The Company is no longer subject to income tax examinations by Canadian authorities for years before 2009.

Advertising Costs

Advertising costs are expensed as incurred. The Company’s advertising expense for the nine months ended November 30, 2017 was $191,984.

Total	$	1,588,796

Note 4 - Line of Credit

The Company has a line of credit with a financial institution. The total amount available under this agreement at November 30, 2017 was $50,000,000 with the outstanding balance at $30,000,000. The agreement, which was extended twelve months in November 2017, calls for monthly interest-only payments, computed using a variable rate based on LIBOR plus 1.25%, and the principal is due on November 30, 2018. The agreement is secured by substantially all the Company’s assets. As of February 27, 2018 the line of credit had no outstanding balance. Borrowings under the line of credit are subject to certain covenants and restrictions on indebtedness and dividend payments.

The third lease began in June 2015 and is for a term of 54 months through October 2019. The agreement replaced a previous lease that was supposed to terminate in October 2016. The agreement calls for initial monthly payments of $7,607. The payments escalate in May 2017. There is no renewal option.

The fourth lease was for an original term of 36 months through April 2017. The lease was renewed for an additional 36 months in May 2017. The renewal calls for initial monthly payments of $3,797. The payments escalate on an annual basis.

Total lease expense for the nine months ending November 30, 2017 was $1,654,598, the majority of which is allocated to cost of goods sold, and includes common area maintenance charges.

Exhibit 99.3

Compass Diversified Holdings

UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)

On February 26, 2018 Compass Group Diversified Holdings LLC (the "Company") and Compass Diversified Holdings ("Holdings" and together with the Company, collectively “CODI”) completed the transaction whereby one of CODI’s existing portfolio companies, Sterno Products, LLC, (“Sterno”), acquired all of the issued and outstanding capital stock of Rimports, Inc., (“Rimports”). The following pro forma condensed combined financial statements give effect to the acquisition of Rimports for a total purchase price of approximately $145.0 million, as further described in the Form 8-K that we filed on February 27, 2018. The following pro forma condensed combined financial statements also give effect to the acquisition of Foam Fabricators, Inc. ("Foam Fabricators") for a total purchase price of $247.5 million, as further described in the Form 8-K that we filed on February 16, 2018 and the Form 8-K/A that we filed on March 2, 2018.

The pro forma condensed combined statements of operations for the year ended December 31, 2017 give effect to the acquisitions of Foam Fabricators and Rimports as if the acquisitions had occurred on January 1, 2017. The proforma condensed combined balance sheet as of December 31, 2017 gives effect to the acquisitions of Foam Fabricators and Rimports as if the acquisition was completed on December 31, 2017.

Rimports has a February 28th year-end. The "as reported" financial information of Rimports represents the trailing twelve months ended November 30, 2017. The "as reported" financial information for Rimports is derived by combining the historical financial statements of Rimports for the nine months ended November 30, 2017 which are included elsewhere in this 8-K, and the three months ended February 28, 2017. The three months ended February 28, 2017 were derived from the accounting records of Rimports. Refer to Note 2 to the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements for the combining income statement of Rimports for the twelve months ended November 30, 2017. The "as reported" financial information for Holdings is derived from the audited financial statements of Holdings as of December 31, 2017 and for the year ended December 31, 2017 as filed on Form 10-K dated February 28, 2018. The "as reported" financial information of Foam Fabricators is derived from the historical financial statements of Foam Fabricators as of and for the year ended December 31, 2017 as filed on Form 8-K/A on March 2, 2018.

Assumptions underlying the pro forma adjustments necessary to reasonably present this unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information are described in the accompanying notes. The pro forma adjustments described in the accompanying notes have been made based on the available information and, in the opinion of management, are reasonable. The preliminary purchase price allocation for Rimports has not been prepared and the excess of purchase price paid less assets acquired and liabilities assumed has been allocated to goodwill for purposes of the pro forma condensed combined financial statements. The purchase price of Rimports includes a potential earn-out of up to $25 million contingent on the attainment of certain future performance criteria of Rimports for the twelve-month period from May 1, 2017 to April 30, 2018 and the fourteen month period from March 1, 2018 to April 30, 2019. The preliminary purchase price of Foam Fabricators has been allocated based on the estimated fair values as of the completion of the acquisition. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined statements of income reflect the adjustments to the historical consolidated results of operations that are expected to have a continuing effect. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined statement of income does not include certain items such as transaction costs related to the acquisitions. A full and detailed valuation of the assets and liabilities of Foam Fabricators and Rimports is in process and information related to the purchase price allocation remains pending at this time. The purchase price allocation is expected to result in a step up in the fair value of the inventory and property, plant and equipment, as well as a portion of the purchase price allocated to intangible assets. The intangible assets are expected to comprise tradenames, customer relationships and technology assets with estimated useful lives ranging from five to twenty years. The final purchase price allocation is subject to the final determination of the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed and, therefore, that allocation and the resulting effect on income from operations may differ materially from the unaudited pro forma amounts included herein.

The historical consolidated financial information has been adjusted to give effect to estimated pro forma events that are directly attributable to the acquisition, factually supportable and, with respect to the unaudited pro forma condensed combined statement of income, expected to have a continuing impact on the consolidated results of operations. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information should not be considered indicative of actual results that would have been achieved had the acquisition occurred on the date indicated and do not purport to indicate results of operations for any future period. You should read these unaudited pro forma condensed financial statements in conjunction with the accompanying notes, the financial statements of Rimports included in this Form 8-K and the consolidated financial statements for Holdings, including the notes thereto as previously filed.

Notes to Pro Forma Condensed Combined Financial Statements

(Unaudited)

Pro forma information is intended to reflect the impact of the acquisitions of Foam Fabricators and Rimports on the Company’s historical financial position and results of operations through adjustments that are directly attributable to the transaction, that are factually supportable and, with respect to the pro forma statements of operations, that are expected to have a continuing impact. This information in Note 1 provides a description of each of the pro forma adjustments from each line item in the pro forma condensed combined financial statements together with information explaining how the adjustments were derived or calculated. The information in Note 2 provides the derivation of the statement of income of Rimports for the twelve months ended November 30, 2017. The information in Note 3 provides a description of the adjustments to fair value for Foam Fabricators and how those adjustments were determined based on a preliminary purchase price allocation. A full and detailed valuation of the assets and liabilities of Rimports is in process and the information related to the purchase price allocation remains pending at this time. The purchase price allocation for Rimports is expected to result in a step up in the fair value of the inventory and property, plant and equipment, as well as a portion of the purchase price allocated to intangible assets. For purposes of the pro forma condensed combined financial statements, the Rimports excess of purchase price paid less assets acquired and liabilities assumed, including a potential earnout, has been allocated to goodwill. All amounts are in thousands of dollars ($000's).

Note 1. Pro Forma Adjustments

Balance Sheet

The following adjustments correspond to those included in the unaudited condensed combined pro forma balance sheet as of December 31, 2017:

(a)    The following reflects the adjustments necessary to allocate the excess of the purchase price for the acquisitions of Foam Fabricators and Rimports. The purchase price allocation for Foam Fabricators is based on a preliminary purchase price allocation and is subject to adjustment. The adjustment to inventory represents the estimated adjustment to step up Foam Fabricator's finished goods to fair value. The fair value was determined based on estimated selling price of finished goods and a normal profit margin on those selling costs. After the acquisition, the step-up in inventory will increase costs of sales over approximately two months as the inventory is sold. This increase is not reflected in the pro forma condensed combined financial statement of operations because it does not have a continuing impact on the results of operations. The purchase price of Rimports includes a potential earn-out of up to $25 million contingent on the attainment of certain future performance criteria of Rimports for the twelve-month period from May 1, 2017 to April 30, 2018 and the fourteen month period from March 1, 2018 to April 30, 2019. The fair value of the contingent consideration related to the earn-out has not yet been determined therefore the contingent consideration is reflected in the condensed combined pro forma balance sheet at the full settlement amount.

(j)     Foam Fabricators was an S corporation under Section 1362 of the Internal Revenue Code, and accordingly, taxable income of Foam Fabricators flowed through to its stockholder. Foam Fabricators provided for certain federal, foreign and state income taxes as required by federal and state S corporation tax regulations. Accordingly, Foam Fabricators' tax provision for the year ending December 31, 2017 generally represented income taxes incurred by its Mexican subsidiaries. The Company, through a wholly owned subsidiary, purchased 100% of the outstanding stock of Foam Fabricators in February 2018 in a taxable transaction. The Company and the selling shareholder have agreed to make a joint Section 338(h)(10) election which will treat the acquisition as a deemed asset purchase for United States Federal income tax purposes. Treating the acquisition as an asset acquisition for United States federal income tax purposes allows for a step-up in the tax basis of Foam Fabricator's assets, therefore the Company expects to benefit from the increased depreciation and amortization deductions that will result from any step-up in basis. Any premium paid in excess of Foam Fabricator's tangible property may be allocated to intangible assets (including goodwill), which may be amortized on a straight-line basis over a fifteen year period for federal income tax purposes. The Company therefore does not expect to incur significant federal current income tax expense during the initial years of ownership, and has not added a pro forma adjustment to reflect the change in status from S-Corporation to C-Corporation that occurred at acquisition.

Rimports was organized as a limited liability company and elected to be taxed under the partnership provisions of the Internal Revenue Code through July 31, 2015. Effective August 1, 2015, Rimports elected to be taxed as an S Corporation. Under those provisions, Rimports does not pay federal corporate income tax on its earned income. Instead, the members/ shareholders are liable for individual federal income taxes on earned income. Therefore, no provision or liability for income taxes is included in the as reported financial statements for the twelve months ended November 30, 2017. The acquiring entity of Rimports is a C-corporation and a pro forma adjustment has been added to reflect expected income tax expense. The earnings before income taxes of Rimports for the twelve months ended November 30, 2017 was multiplied by the the effective tax rate of Sterno Products, LLC, which acquired Rimports on February 26, 2018, for the year ended December 31, 2017 of 24.4% to derive the income tax expense related to Rimports for the proforma consolidated income statement.

Note 2. Combining Income Statement of Rimports

For purposes of the pro forma income statement, Rimports represents the twelve months ended November 30, 2017, which was prepared by combining the three months ended February 28, 2017 and the nine months ended November 30, 2017. The nine months ended November 30, 2017 are derived from the unaudited interim consolidated financial statements of Rimports as of and for the nine months ended November 30, 2017. The three months ended February 28, 2017 is derived from the books and records of Rimports. The following table the Rimports income statement for the twelve months ended November 30, 2017 (in thousands):

Note 3. Purchase Price Allocation

The following table summarizes the preliminary purchase price for the Foam Fabricators and Rimports acquisitions (in thousands):

Acquisition Consideration
	Foam Fabricators			Rimports			Total
Aggregate purchase price	$	247,500		$	145,000
Working capital adjustment	1,967			(4,021		)
Other adjustments	(1,212		)	(62		)
Cash acquired	3,646			9,500
Total estimated purchase price	$	251,901		$	150,417		$	402,318

The purchase price is preliminary and is subject to adjustment based upon the difference between the estimated net working capital to be transferred and the actual amount of working capital transferred on the date of closing. The initial purchase price has been allocated to the acquired assets and assumed liabilities based on estimated fair values. The purchase price allocation is preliminary pending a final determination of the fair values of the assets and liabilities. The table below provides the provisional recording of assets acquired and liabilities assumed as of the acquisition date. The amounts recorded for property, plant and equipment, intangible assets and goodwill are preliminary pending finalization of valuation efforts.

	$	251,901	$	150,417	$	402,318

The preliminary purchase allocation for Foam Fabricators presented above is based upon management's estimate of the fair values using valuation techniques including income, cost and market approaches. In estimating the fair value of the acquired assets and assumed liabilities, the fair value estimates are based on, but not limited to, expected future revenue and cash flows, expected future growth rates and estimated discount rates. Current and noncurrent assets and current and other liabilities are estimated at their historical carrying values. Property, plant and equipment is valued through a preliminary purchase price appraisal and will be depreciated on a straight-line basis over the respective remaining useful lives. Goodwill is calculated as the excess of the consideration transferred over the fair value of the identifiable net assets and represents the future economic benefits expected to arise from other intangible assets acquired that do not qualify for separate recognition, including assembled workforce and non-contractual relationships, as well as expected future synergies. The preliminary purchase price allocation of Rimports presented above is presented with current and noncurrent assets and current and other liabilities at estimated historical carrying values since the preliminary purchase price allocation has not yet been completed for Rimports. The excess of the purchase price over the net assets acquired has been allocated to goodwill.

For Foam Fabricators, the identified intangible assets are definite lived intangibles and will be amortized over the estimated useful life assigned to the underlying intangible asset. The intangible assets preliminarily recorded in connection with the Foam Fabricators acquisition are as follows (in thousands):

Intangible assets	Amount		Estimated Useful Life
Customer Relationships	$	117,177	15
Tradename	4,215		10
	$	121,392

The customer relationships intangible asset was valued at $117.2 million using an excess earnings methodology, in which an asset is valuable to the extent it enables its owners to earn a return in excess of the required returns on and of the other assets utilized in the business. Customer relationships intangible asset was derived using a risk-adjusted discount rate of 13.2%. The tradename intangible asset was valued using a royalty savings methodology, in which an asset is valuable to the extent that the ownership of the asset relieves the company from the obligation of paying royalties for the benefits generated by the asset.
