objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement,

of assurance but is not absolute assurance and therefore is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with US GAAS will always
detect a material misstatement when it exists. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than
for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of
internal control. Misstatements are considered material if there is a substantial likelihood that, individually or in the aggregate,
they would influence the judgment made by a reasonable user based on the consolidated financial statements.</FONT></P>

chargebacks, markdown allowances, discounts, returns, and compliance-related deductions. The Company estimates variable consideration
by analyzing several performance indicators for its major customers, including retailers&rsquo; inventory levels, sell-through rates,

factors suggest it is more likely than not that the fair value of an intangible asset or reporting unit is lower than its carrying amount,
a quantitative impairment test is performed. As part of its ongoing assessment, the Company periodically conducts a quantitative impairment
analysis instead of a qualitative assessment. If the fair value of an intangible asset or reporting unit is less than its carrying amount,
an impairment loss is recognized, limited to the intangible asset or reporting unit&rsquo;s carrying value.</FONT></P>

assets and other long-lived assets are evaluated for impairment when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount

taxes. Rent expense is calculated by amortizing total base rental payments (net of any rental abatements, construction allowances, and
other rental concessions), on a straight-line basis, over the lease term. When renewal or termination options are deemed reasonably certain,

acquisition is being accounted for as a business combination in accordance with ASC 805. Accordingly, the total preliminary cash purchase
consideration of $390,453 for MATL was allocated to the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on management&rsquo;s
preliminary estimates of their fair values as of the Acquisition Date. The Company is in the process of completing its valuation of the
fair value of certain assets acquired and liabilities assumed. This includes the fair values of tangible assets, such as inventories,
property and equipment, and right-of-use lease assets; and intangible assets, such as trade names and customer relationships.
Accordingly, the purchase price allocation, as shown in the table below, is considered preliminary. The Company expects to obtain the
information necessary to finalize the fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed during the measurement period, not to
exceed one year from the Acquisition Date as permitted under ASC 805, which may result in adjustments to the values presented herein.</FONT></P>

<I>COGS impact of inventory step-up:</I></B> The preliminary fair value step-up in inventory of $29,341 has been recognized and expensed
through cost of goods sold in the unaudited pro forma combined statement of operations to reflect the assumed sale of the acquired inventory
at fair value. This adjustment is non-recurring as the typical inventory turnover is less than 12 months. Differences between the income
statement and balance sheet presentation for this adjustment result from the use of spot exchange rates for the balance sheet and average
exchange rates for the income statement.</FONT></P>

<I>Operating lease expense adjustment:</I></B> Reflects the amortization of the stepped-up right-of-use lease assets (see Note

lease costs of $18, which are recorded within operating expenses, during the pro forma period.</FONT></P>

<I>Depreciation expense adjustment:</I></B> Reflects the removal of $16,737 of historical depreciation expense and the addition of $6,540
of depreciation expense based on the preliminary fair value step-up of property and equipment, primarily allocated to furniture and fixtures
with an estimated useful life of five years (see Note 4 &ndash; Preliminary Purchase Price Allocation). This adjustment results in lower
annual depreciation expense in the pro forma period because the new fair value basis is being depreciated evenly over a five-year useful
life, whereas the historical depreciation reflected assets that were near the end of their useful lives with higher annual charges.</FONT></P>

<I>Intangible asset amortization expense adjustment:</I></B> Reflects the removal of $7,308 of historical amortization expense related
to trade names and customer relationships, and the addition of $3,463 of amortization expense based on the preliminary fair value allocation
and estimated useful lives of acquired trade names and customer relationships (see Note 4 &ndash; Preliminary Purchase Price Allocation).
The net reduction in annual amortization expense reflects updated useful life assumptions, including assigning an indefinite life to
trade names given their anticipated perpetual use, and assigning a 20-year life to customer relationships to reflect
their expected period of economic benefit. For each 10% increase or decrease in the preliminary fair value of the customer relationships
intangible asset, assuming a 20-year useful life, annual amortization expense would increase or decrease, respectively, by approximately
$346.</FONT></P>

<I>New debt financing adjustments:</I></B> In connection with the Transaction, the Company&rsquo;s original credit agreement, which consisted
of a revolving asset-based credit facility with a total capacity of $150,000, was amended and restated to provide a term loan
facility in the amount of $300,000 and a revolving credit facility with a total capacity of $250,000. The impacts to the Company&rsquo;s

applicable interest period plus a specified margin, or (ii) the base rate (which is the highest of (a) the prime rate announced by Citizens
Bank, N.A. or its parent company, (b) the sum of the federal funds rate plus 0.50%, and (c) the sum of the Daily SOFR Rate plus 1%) plus
