The Company subsequently amended the Original Report on March 25, 2024 to include its audited financial statements, Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operation, and unaudited pro forma combined financial information for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023.Subsequently, the Company filed Amendment No. 2 on Form 8-K/A on August 19, 2024 to restate its audited financial statements, Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operation and unaudited pro forma combined financial information for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023.On November 14, 2024, the Company filed a Form 8-K with the SEC (the “Non-Reliance 8-K”) noting that during the preparation of the Company’s consolidated interim financial statements for the quarter ended September 30, 2024, the Company’s management identified the following misstatements and adjustments previously not recorded during the audit, as deemed immaterial at the time, to the Company’s financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2023 and the quarterly periods ended March 31, 2024 and June 30, 2024.• For the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, cost of goods sold (exclusive of depreciation and amortization) included selling expenses related to commissions earned by the sales team and third party dealers related to obtaining sales orders and contracts. The Company has further determined that selling expenses should not be included in the cost of goods sold (exclusive of depreciation and amortization) but instead in sales and marketing expense as they do not relate to the direct delivery of the product or service but rather to the acquiring of the customer and sale of the product or service. This misstatement has no impact on total operating expenses, income from operations or net income. Additionally, this misstatement has no impact on the balance sheets, statements of members’ equity or statements of cash flows.• As of December 31, 2023, finance lease assets and liabilities were included in property, equipment and other fixed assets, net and in the current portion of long-term debt and long-term debt. The Company has further determined that the vehicles should be recorded as right-of-use finance lease assets and finance lease liabilities.

This has no impact on total operating cash flows.• For the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, due to the nature of the underlying costs, reclassifications of expenses have been made between cost of goods sold (exclusive of depreciation and amortization), sales and marketing and general and administrative.
