Refer to your revised disclosure in response to comment 4 regarding the decrease in cash flow for fiscal 2022 due to the increase in inventory resulting in a higher inventory balance at June 30, 2022. You state this was due to pre-holiday investments of $134 million made in the first quarter of calendar year 2021. This period correlates to your third quarter of fiscal 2021. However, it does not appear the inventory balance at your fiscal year ended period of June 30, 2021 reflects this investment. Please clarify the fiscal periods impacted by this pre-holiday inventory investment. General 3. Please disclose the three Alliance Stockholders who will receive the Class E common stock.
