2. ACQUISITION

On February 3, 2023, the Company, through its wholly owned subsidiary, LOL Foods, Inc., paid approximately $54.9 million in cash to acquire substantially all of the operating assets of Henry’s, a wholesale distributor to convenience stores and other retail formats operating in Minnesota, North Dakota, South Dakota, Iowa, and Wisconsin. In connection with the transaction, the Company also assumed certain operating liabilities totaling approximately $1.2 million, including approximately $0.2 million of operating leases. The transaction was funded with borrowings from the Company’s existing bank group. Costs to effectuate the acquisition were not significant and were expensed as incurred. Strategically, the acquisition expands the Company’s footprint in the North Central portion of the United States and enhances the product and service offerings available to its customer base.

The Company paid cash consideration for the net acquired assets and their related values as of the acquisition date, measured in accordance with FASB Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 805 – Business Combinations. In valuing identifiable intangible assets, the Company has estimated the fair value using the discounted cash flows methodology with the assistance of an independent valuation advisor. Inputs and projections used to measure the fair value as of the acquisition date included, but were not limited to, sales growth, gross profit estimates, royalty and customer retention rates, economic and industry conditions, working capital requirements and various other operational considerations.

The following purchase price allocation reflects the Company’s provisional (preliminary) estimates and analyses and is subject to change during the measurement period, which is generally one year from the acquisition date. During Q3 2023, certain non-contingent components of the total purchase price were updated, which resulted in a reduction of the total purchase price by approximately $0.1 million. This reduction was recorded as an adjustment to goodwill. All amounts are provisional and incomplete at the reporting date and may change materially in subsequent reporting periods during the measurement period while additional information is obtained, particularly as it relates to certain accounts receivable, property and equipment, inventory, other intangible assets and certain liability balances while final appraisal and valuation work is completed. Accordingly, any changes to the Company’s provisional recording of the transaction may materially impact its financial statements, including but not limited to its consolidated balance sheets, statements of operations, shareholders’ equity and cash flows, and related disclosures. All assets acquired and operating liabilities assumed have been recorded as a component of our Wholesale Segment.

Provisional (preliminary) amounts of identifiable assets and liabilities assumed:

Accounts receivable	$	8,237,652
Inventories		16,060,965
Prepaid and other assets		400,964
Property and equipment		27,216,323
Other intangible assets		3,607,000
Liabilities assumed		(1,157,976)
Total identifiable net assets	$	54,364,928
Total identifiable net assets	$	54,364,928
Goodwill		500,375
Consideration transferred	$	54,865,303

Accounts receivable were recorded at their fair value representing the amount we expect to collect, which also approximated the gross contractual values of such receivables at the acquisition date. Goodwill totaling approximately $0.5 million arose from the acquisition and primarily represents synergies and economies of scale generated through reductions in selling, general, and administrative expenses. This goodwill has been assigned to the Company’s Wholesale Segment and is expected to be deductible for tax purposes.

The provisional (preliminary) value of other intangible assets acquired consisted of the following:

	Acquisition-Date		Useful Life
Other Intangible Asset	Fair Value		(Years)
Customer list	$	2,010,000		15
Non-competition agreement		95,000		5
Trade name		1,502,000		7
	$	3,607,000
