LIVE VENTURES INCORPORATED
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)
FOR THE THREE AND NINE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2023 AND 2022
(dollars in thousands, except per-share amounts)
Note 1:    Background and Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Live Ventures Incorporated, a Nevada corporation, and its subsidiaries (collectively, “Live Ventures” or the “Company”). Live Ventures is a diversified holding company with a strategic focus on value-oriented acquisitions of domestic middle-market companies. The Company has five operating segments: Retail-Entertainment, Retail-Flooring, Flooring Manufacturing, Steel Manufacturing, and Corporate and Other. The Retail-Entertainment segment includes Vintage Stock, Inc. (“Vintage Stock”), which is engaged in the retail sale of new and used movies, music, collectibles, comics, books, games, game systems and components. The Retail-Flooring segment includes Flooring Liquidators, Inc. (“Flooring Liquidators”), which is engaged in the retail sale and installation of floors, carpets, and countertops. The Flooring Manufacturing segment includes Marquis Industries, Inc. (“Marquis”), which is engaged in the manufacture and sale of carpet and the sale of vinyl and wood floor coverings. The Steel Manufacturing Segment includes Precision Industries, Inc. (“Precision Marshall”), which is engaged in the manufacture and sale of alloy and steel plates, ground flat stock and drill rods, and The Kinetic Co., Inc. (“Kinetic”), which is engaged in the production of industrial knives and hardened wear products for the tissue and metals industries.
The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) for interim financial information. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for audited financial statements. In the opinion of the Company’s management, this interim information includes all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair presentation of the results for the interim periods. The results of operations for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2023 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the fiscal year ending September 30, 2023. The financial information included in these statements should be read in conjunction with the condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes thereto as of September 30, 2022 and for the fiscal year then ended included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K, filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on December 16, 2022 (the “2022 Form 10-K”).
Note 2:    Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Principles of Consolidation
The unaudited condensed financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its majority owned subsidiaries over which the Company exercises control. The Company records a non-controlling interest within stockholders’ equity for the portion of the entity’s equity attributed to the consolidated entities that are not wholly owned. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. These reclassifications have no material effect on the reported financial results.
Reclassifications
Certain amounts in the prior period have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires the Company’s 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 condensed consolidated financial statements, as well as the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Significant estimates made in connection with the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements include the estimated reserve for doubtful accounts, the estimated reserve for excess and obsolete inventory, fair values of goodwill, other intangibles and long-lived assets in connection with an acquisition, fair values in connection with the analysis of goodwill, other intangibles and long-lived assets for impairment, valuation allowance against deferred tax assets, and estimated useful lives for intangible assets and property and equipment.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU No. 2020-04 - Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848), codified as ASC 848 (“ASC 848”). The purpose of ASC 848 is to provide optional guidance to ease the potential effects on financial reporting of the market-wide migration away from Interbank Offered Rates to alternative reference rates. ASC 848 applies only to contracts, hedging relationships, and other transactions that reference a reference rate expected to be discontinued because of reference rate reform. Effective December 31, 2021, the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”) replaced the USD London Interbank-Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) for most financial benchmarking. The guidance may be applied upon issuance of ASC 848 through December 31, 2022. The Company has adopted this new accounting standard on its condensed consolidated financial statements and related disclosures; however, adoption of this ASU had no material impact on the Company's financial statements.
Note 3:    Acquisitions
Acquisition of Flooring Liquidators
On January 18, 2023, Live Ventures acquired 100% of the issued and outstanding equity interests (the “Equity Interests”) of Flooring Liquidators, Inc., Elite Builder Services, Inc., 7 Day Stone, Inc., Floorable, LLC, K2L Leasing, LLC, and SJ & K Equipment, Inc. (collectively, the “Acquired Companies”). The Acquired Companies are leading retailers and installers of floors, carpets, and countertops to consumers, builders and contractors in California and Nevada (see Note 11).
The acquisition was effected pursuant to a Securities Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with an effective date of January 18, 2023 by and among the Company, and Stephen J. Kellogg, as the seller representative of the equity holders of the Acquired Companies and individually in his capacity as an equity holder of the Acquired Companies, and the other equity holders of the Acquired Companies (collectively, the “Seller”). The purchase price for the Equity Interests was $83.8 million before any fair value considerations, and is comprised of the following:
$41.8 million in cash to the Seller;
$34.0 million (the “Note Amount”) to certain trusts for the benefit of Kellogg and members of his family (the “Kellogg Trusts”) pursuant to the issuance by the Company of a subordinated promissory note (the “Note”) in favor of the Kellogg Trusts;
$4.0 million to the Kellogg 2022 Family Irrevocable Nevada Trust by issuance of 116,441 shares of Company Common Stock (as defined in the Purchase Agreement) (the “Share Amount”), calculated in the manner described in the Purchase Agreement;
$2.0 million holdback; and
$2.0 million of contingent consideration, comprised of $1.0 million in cash and $1.0 million in restricted stock units.
The fair value the purchase price components outlined above was $78.7 million due to fair value adjustments for the Note, restricted stock, and contingent consideration.
Under the preliminary purchase price allocation, the Company recognized goodwill of approximately $30.6 million, which is calculated as the excess of both the consideration exchanged and liabilities assumed as compared to the fair value of the identifiable assets acquired. The values assigned to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed are based on their estimates of fair value available as of January 18, 2023, as calculated by an independent third-party firm. The Company anticipates approximately $13.4 million of the goodwill arising from the acquisition to be fully deductible for tax purposes. The table

During the three months ended June 30, 2023, the Company recorded a fair value adjustment to increase goodwill by $1.9 million. The increase relates to an increase in the value of other assets acquired of $1.3 million, as well as an increase in the value of accrued liabilities assumed of $2.3 million, partially offset by a reduction in inventory acquired of $842,000.
Pro Forma Information
The table below presents selected proforma information for the Company for the nine-month period ended June 30, 2023, and the three and nine month period ended June 30, 2022 assuming that the acquisition had occurred on October 1, 2021 (the beginning of the Company’s 2022 fiscal year), pursuant to ASC 805-10-50 (in $000’s). This proforma information

Acquisition of Cal Coast Carpets
On June 2, 2023, Flooring Liquidators acquired certain fixed assets and other intangible assets of Cal Coast Carpets, Inc. (“Cal Coast”), and its Shareholders, which was effected through two Asset Purchase Agreements (“Agreement”, or collectively, “Agreements”). No liabilities were assumed as part of either transaction. The purchase price for the fixed assets acquired from Cal Coast was $35,000, and the intangible assets acquired from the Shareholders was approximately $1.265 million, for a total combined purchase price of $1.3 million. The intangible assets acquired were comprised of customer relationships, trade name, and non-compete agreements. The acquisition was determined to be an asset acquisition for accounting purposes and, as such, no goodwill was recorded as part of the transaction. The values assigned to the assets acquired are based on their estimates of fair value available as of June 2, 2023, as calculated by management.

Acquisition of Kinetic
On June 28, 2022, Precision Marshall (“Precision”) acquired 100% of the issued and outstanding shares of common stock of The Kinetic Co., Inc. (“Kinetic”), a Wisconsin corporation, which was effected through a Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”). In connection with the Purchase Agreement, Precision also entered into a Real Estate Purchase Agreement with Plant B-6, LLC, an affiliate of Kinetic, pursuant to which Precision received all of Kinetic's right, title, and interest in and to the land and improvements (collectively, the “Real Estate”) that Kinetic uses in its operations. The combined purchase price for the Kinetic shares and Real Estate was approximately $24.7 million, which was funded with approximately $11.0 million in borrowings under the company’s credit facility, approximately $8.3 million in proceeds from the sale and leaseback of the Real Estate, a subordinated promissory note in the principal amount of $3.0 million for the benefit of the Seller of Kinetic, $1.7 million of cash on-hand, a contingent earn-out liability valued at $997,000, a working capital adjustment of approximately $400,000, which was paid in cash, and a final fair value adjustment of approximately $312,000, which was noncash.
As of the date of acquisition, Precision entered into a sale and leaseback agreement with a third-party, independent of the Kinetic sellers, for the Real Estate. The sale price of the Real Estate was approximately $8.9 million, subject to closing fees of approximately $547,000.
The provisions of the lease agreement include a 20-year lease term with two five-year renewal options. The base rent under the lease agreement is $600,000 for the first year of the term and a 2% per annum escalator. The Lease Agreement is a “net lease,” such that the lessees are also obligated to pay all taxes, insurance, assessments, and other costs, expenses, and obligations of ownership of the Real Property incurred by the lessor. Due to the highly specialized nature of the leased assets, the Company currently believes that it is more likely than not that each of the two five-year options will be exercised. The proceeds, net of closing fees, from the sale-leaseback were used to assist in funding the acquisition of Kinetic.
Under the purchase price allocation, the Company recognized goodwill of approximately $3.0 million, which is calculated as the excess of both the consideration exchanged and liabilities assumed as compared to the fair value of the identifiable assets acquired. The values assigned to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed are based on their estimates of fair value available as of June 28, 2022, as calculated by an independent third-party firm. Goodwill arising from the acquisition is

expected to be fully deductible for tax purposes. The table below outlines the purchase price allocation of the purchase for Kinetic to the acquired identifiable assets, liabilities assumed and goodwill as of June 30, 2023 (in $000’s):

Acquisition of Better Backers
On July 1, 2022, Live acquired certain assets and intellectual property of Better Backers, a Georgia corporation, which was effected through an Asset Purchase Agreement (the “Asset Purchase Agreement”). No liabilities were assumed as part of the acquisition. The purchase price, which is subject to certain post-closing adjustments, was approximately $3.2 million, which is comprised of $1.8 million that was paid upon closing, and the $1.4 million present value of $1.5 million of non-compete payments to be made over a 24-month period. In order to expedite the transaction, the acquisition was originally made by Live, and the $1.8 million paid upon closing was funded with borrowings under Live’s credit line with Isaac Capital Group (“ICG”). On August 18, 2022, Marquis repaid the $1.8 million to ICG and assumed ownership of Better Backers.
In connection with the acquisition, Marquis entered into two 20-year building leases with Spyglass Estate Planning, LLC, a related party (see Note 16), with two options to renew for an additional five years each. The fair value of the buildings and improvement is approximately $9.3 million. The provisions of the lease agreements include an initial 24-month month-to-month rental period, during which the lessee may cancel with 90-day notice, followed by a 20-year lease term with two five-year renewal options. Due to the highly specialized nature of the leased assets, the Company currently believes that it is more likely than not that it will not cancel during the initial 24-month term, and that each of the two five-year options will be exercised. The base rent under the lease agreements is approximately $73,000 and $32,000 per month, respectively, for the first year of the term, and each lease agreement has a 2.5% per annum escalator. The lease agreements are each “net leases”, such that the lessee is also obligated to pay all taxes, insurance, assessments, and other costs, expenses, and obligations of ownership of the property. The Company has evaluated each lease and determined the rent amounts to be at market rates. These leases are being treated as finance leases for accounting purposes, as described in ASC 842 “Leases”.
Under the purchase price allocation, no goodwill was recognized. The values assigned to the assets acquired are based on their estimates of fair value available as of July 1, 2022, as calculated by management. The table below outlines the purchase price allocation of the purchase for Better Backers to the acquired identifiable assets (in $000’s):
Total purchase price$3,166

Note 4: Variable Interest Entity
On March 31, 2023, the Company entered into a Settlement Agreement and Mutual Release (“Agreement”) with Angia Holdings, LLC and Thomas Diamante and Lawrence Zelin (“Principals”). The Agreement stipulated that the Principals would pay the Company $1,000,000 within 10 days of the effective date of the Agreement, and an additional $1,000,000 within 45 days of the effective date of the Agreement if a joint venture, with terms acceptable to the Company, was not formed.
The Principals made the initial $1,000,000 payment in April 2023, and, having failed to form a joint venture, as described above, made the second $1,000,000 payment in May 2023. Consequently, employment of the Principals was terminated, and operations of SW Financial were shut down. The Company recorded a gain on receipt of the settlement amounts of $2,000,000 and a loss on deconsolidation of SW Financial's assets and liabilities of approximately $1.7 million, as detailed in the table below (in $000’s):

Note 5:    Leases
The Company leases retail stores, warehouse facilities, and office space. These assets and properties are generally leased under noncancelable agreements that expire at various future dates with many agreements containing renewal options for additional periods. The agreements, which have been classified as either operating or finance leases, generally provide for minimum and, in some cases, percentage rent, and require the Company to pay all insurance, taxes, and other maintenance costs. As a result, the Company recognizes assets and liabilities for all leases with lease terms greater than 12 months. The amounts recognized reflect the present value of remaining lease payments for all leases. The discount rate used is an estimate of the Company’s blended incremental borrowing rate based on information available associated with each subsidiary’s debt outstanding at lease commencement. In considering the lease asset value, the Company considers fixed and variable payment terms, prepayments and options to extend, terminate or purchase. Renewal, termination, or purchase options affect the lease term used for determining lease asset value only if the option is reasonably certain to be exercised.
As of June 30, 2023, the weighted average remaining lease term for operating leases is 7.2 years. The Company's weighted average discount rate for operating leases is 8.4%. Total cash payments for operating leases for the nine months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022 were approximately $8.2 million and $7.2 million, respectively. Additionally, we obtained right-of-use assets in exchange for operating lease liabilities of approximately $19.9 million upon commencement of operating leases during the nine months ended June 30, 2023.
As of June 30, 2023, the weighted average remaining lease term for finance leases is 26.9 years. The Company's weighted average discount rate for finance leases is 13.2%. Total cash payments for finance leases for the nine months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022 were approximately $1.6 million and $0, respectively. Additionally, we obtained right-of-use assets in exchange for finance lease liabilities of approximately $443,000 upon commencement of operating leases during the nine months ended June 30, 2023.

Note 15: Earnings Per Share
Net income per share is calculated using the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the applicable period. Basic weighted average common shares outstanding do not include shares of restricted stock that have not yet vested, although such shares are included as outstanding shares in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet. Diluted net income per share is computed using the weighted average number of common shares outstanding and if dilutive, potential common shares outstanding during the period. Potential common shares consist of the additional common shares issuable in respect of restricted share awards, stock options and convertible preferred stock. Preferred stock dividends are subtracted from net earnings to determine the amount available to common stockholders.

24

type fee. The initial term of the Agreement was for one year, and automatically renews for successive one-year terms if not terminated by either party.
Due to significant doubt that the full balance due from ARCA will be paid, on May 24, 2023 the parties entered into a Promissory Note in the aggregate principal amount of $583,894, which represented the principal balance due as of that date, payable by ARCA for the benefit of the Company, to repay the outstanding receivables balance (“ARCA Note”).

Note 17:    Commitments and Contingencies
Litigation
SEC Investigation
On February 21, 2018, the Company received a subpoena from the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and a letter from the SEC stating that it is conducting an investigation. The subpoena requested documents and information concerning, among other things, the restatement of the Company’s financial statements for the quarterly periods ended December 31, 2016, March 31, 2017, and June 30, 2017, the acquisition of Marquis Industries, Inc., Vintage Stock, Inc., and ApplianceSmart, Inc., and the change in auditors. On August 12, 2020, three of the Company’s corporate executive officers (together, the “Executives”) each received a “Wells Notice” from the Staff of the SEC relating to the Company’s SEC investigation. On October 7, 2020, the Company received a “Wells Notice” from the Staff of the SEC relating to the Company’s previously-disclosed SEC investigation. The Wells Notices related to, among other things, the Company’s reporting of its financial performance for its fiscal year ended September 30, 2016, certain disclosures related to executive compensation, and its previous acquisition of ApplianceSmart, Inc. A Wells Notice is neither a formal charge of wrongdoing nor a final determination that the recipient has violated any law. The Wells Notices informed the Company and the Executives that the SEC Staff has made a preliminary determination to recommend that the SEC file an enforcement action against the Company and each of the Executives to allege certain violations of the federal securities laws. On October 1, 2018, the Company received a letter from the SEC requesting information regarding a potential violation of Section 13(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, based upon the timing of the Company’s Form 8-K filed on February 14, 2018. The Company cooperated fully with the SEC inquiry and provided a response to the SEC on October 26, 2018.
On August 2, 2021, the SEC filed a civil complaint in the United States District Court for the District of Nevada naming the Company and two of its executive officers - Jon Isaac, the Company’s current President and Chief Executive Officer, and Virland Johnson, the Company’s former Chief Financial Officer, as defendants (collectively, the “Company Defendants”) as well as certain other related third parties (the “SEC Complaint”). The SEC Complaint alleges various financial, disclosure, and reporting violations related to income and earnings per share data, purported undisclosed stock promotion and trading, purported inaccurate disclosure regarding beneficial ownership of common stock, and undisclosed executive compensation from 2016 through 2018. The violations are brought under Section 10(b) of the Exchange Act and Rule 10b-5; Sections 13(a), 13(b)(2)(B) and 13(b)(5) of the Exchange Act and Rules 12b-20, 13a-1, 13a-14, 13a-13, 13b2-1, 13b2-2; Section 14(a) of the Exchange Act and Rule 14a-3; and Section 17(a) of the Securities Act of 1933. The SEC seeks permanent injunctions against the Company Defendants, permanent officer-and-director bars, disgorgement of profits, and civil penalties. The foregoing is only a general summary of the SEC Complaint, which may be accessed on the SEC’s website at https://www.sec.gov/litigation/litreleases/2021/lr25155.htm.
On October 1, 2021, the Company Defendants and third-party defendants moved to dismiss the SEC complaint. On September 7, 2022, the court denied the Company Defendants’ motion to dismiss, but granted one of the third-party defendant’s motions to dismiss, granting the SEC leave to file an amended complaint. On September 21, 2022, the SEC filed an amended complaint to which the Company Defendants filed an answer on October 11, 2022, denying liability. The court subsequently entered a discovery scheduling order and the parties exchanged initial disclosures. The parties participated in a mediation in June 2023. The mediation was not successful and the case will now proceed through discovery.
The Company Defendants strongly dispute and deny the allegations and intend to continue to defend themselves vigorously against the claims.
Sieggreen Class Action
On August 13, 2021, Daniel E. Sieggreen, individually and on behalf of all others similarly situated claimants ("Plaintiff"), filed a class action complaint for violation of federal securities laws in the United States District Court for the District of
26

Nevada, naming the Company, Jon Isaac, the Company's current President and Chief Executive Officer, and Virland Johnson, the Company's former Chief Financial Officer, as defendants (collectively, the "Company Defendants"). The allegations asserted are similar to those in the SEC Complaint. Among other sought relief, the complaint seeks damages in connection with the purchases and sales of the Company’s securities between December 28, 2016 and August 3, 2021. As of December 17, 2021, the judge granted a stipulation to stay proceedings pending the resolutions of the motions to dismiss in the SEC Complaint. On February 1, 2023, the final motion to dismiss relating to the SEC Complaint was denied, which was subsequently noticed in the Sieggreen action on February 2, 2023. Plaintiff filed an Amended Complaint on March 6, 2023. On May 5, 2023, the Company Defendants filed a Motion to Dismiss the Amended Complaint, and the briefing on that motion is now complete. Discovery is automatically stayed in this case until after the disposition of the Motion to Dismiss. If the Motion to Dismiss is not successful, the case will proceed to discovery. The Company Defendants strongly dispute and deny the allegations at issue in this case and intend to continue to defend themselves vigorously against these claims.
Holdback Matter
On October 10, 2022, a representative for the former shareholders of Precision Marshall filed a civil complaint in the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware. The complaint alleges that the Company violated the terms of the Agreement and Plan of Merger dated July 14, 2020, by failing to pay the shareholders a certain indemnity holdback of $2,500,000. Plaintiff alleged that he effectuated service of the complaint on the Company, but the Company did not receive notification of the action until it received an Application for Default Judgment filed with the court on December 26, 2022. On December 28, 2022, the Court issued a letter order questioning its jurisdiction over the matter and directed plaintiff’s counsel to submit briefing as to why it believes jurisdiction is proper. Plaintiff filed its brief on January 13, 2023. On April 13, 2023, the Court dismissed the action in its entirety for lack of jurisdiction, rendering the Application for Default Judgment moot.
On January 12, 2023, and after jurisdiction over the case was questioned by the Court of Chancery, State of Delaware, plaintiff filed a substantially identical complaint in the Western District of Pennsylvania. After the Delaware action was dismissed, plaintiff requested that counsel waive service of the Pennsylvania complaint. On April 19, 2023, the Company agreed to waive service. The Company’s response to the Complaint was filed on August 7, 2023. The Company intends to defend itself vigorously against these claims.
Wage and Hour Matter
On July 27, 2022, Irma Sanchez, a former employee of Elite Builder Services, Inc. (“Elite Builders”), filed a class action complaint against Elite Builders in the Superior Court of California, County of Alameda. The complaint alleges that Elite Builders failed to pay all minimum and overtime wages, failed to provide lawful meal periods and rest breaks, failed to provide accurate itemized wage statements, and failed to pay all wages due upon separation as required by California law. The complaint was later amended as a matter of right on October 4, 2022. Further, Ms. Sanchez has put the Labor & Workforce Development Agency on notice to exhaust administrative remedies and enable her to bring an additional claim under the California Labor Code Private Attorneys General Act, which permits an employee to assert a claim for violations of certain California Labor Code provisions on behalf of all aggrieved employees to recover statutory penalties. A Motion for Change of Venue to Stanislaus County was filed by Elite Builders on December 7, 2022. The hearing on the motion was heard on February 8, 2023 and the motion was granted. The Company believes that Ms. Sanchez’s claims lack merit and intends to defend this action vigorously. The Company is currently unable to estimate the range of possible losses associated with this proceeding since no discovery has commenced and the scope of class is not yet known.
Consumer Protection Act
On December 4, 2022, Sheila Thompson and Dennis Thompson filed a Complaint in the 21st Judicial Circuit Court of St. Louis County, Missouri asserting putative class claims arising under the Telephone Consumer Protection Act, 47 U.S.C. 227, and related Missouri state law claims pertaining to purportedly unsolicited text message advertisements. Vintage Stock, Inc. (“Vintage”) was served on December 13, 2022. On January 11, 2023, Vintage timely removed the case from the state court into federal court. On February 8, 2023, Vintage filed a Motion to Dismiss and Motion to Strike Class Allegations. On March 1, 2023, plaintiffs filed their First Amended Complaint that mooted the pending motion. On March 15, 2023, Vintage moved to dismiss and/or strike the First Amended Complaint.
The motion is fully briefed and stands submitted to the Court for decision. Vintage disputes the allegations and intends to defend itself vigorously against the claims in the First Amended Complaint. As the case is still in the pleading stage, it is premature to estimate potential liability.

Salomon Whitney Settlement
Effective March 31, 2023, the Company entered into a settlement agreement in which the principals of Salomon Whitney, LLC agreed to pay the Company $1.0 million within 10 days of the effective date, and agreed to pay an additional $1.0 million within 45 days of the effective date if certain conditions of the settlement agreement were not met.

Specific forward-looking statements contained in this portion of the Annual Report include, but are not limited to: (i) statements that are based on current projections and expectations about the markets in which we operate, (ii) statements about current projections and expectations of general economic conditions, (iii) statements about specific industry projections and expectations of economic activity, (iv) statements relating to our future operations, prospects, results, and performance, (v) statements that the cash on hand and additional cash generated from operations together with potential sources of cash through issuance of debt or equity will provide the Company with sufficient liquidity for the next 12 months, and (vi) statements that the outcome of pending legal proceedings will not have a material adverse effect on business, financial position and results of operations, cash flow or liquidity.
Forward-looking statements involve risks, uncertainties, and other factors, which may cause our actual results, performance, or achievements to be materially different from those expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. Factors and risks that could affect our results, future performance and capital requirements and cause them to materially differ from those contained in the forward-looking statements include those identified in our 2022 Form 10-K under Item 1A “Risk Factors” and Part II, Item 1A. "Risk Factors" below, as well as other factors that we are currently unable to identify or quantify, but that may exist in the future.
In addition, the foregoing factors may generally affect our business, results of operations and financial position. Forward-looking statements speak only as of the date the statements were made. We do not undertake and specifically decline any obligation to update any forward-looking statements except as required by federal securities laws. Any information contained on our website www.liveventures.com or any other websites referenced in this Quarterly Report are not incorporated into and should not be deemed a part of this Quarterly Report.

Critical Accounting Policies
Our condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). Preparation of these statements requires us to make judgments and estimates. Some accounting policies have a significant and material impact on amounts reported in these financial statements. Estimates and assumptions are based on management's experience and other information available prior to the issuance of our financial statements. Our actual realized results may differ materially from management’s initial estimates as reported. Our critical and significant accounting policies include Trade and Other Receivables, Inventories, Goodwill, Revenue Recognition, Fair Value Measurements, Income Taxes, Segment Reporting and Concentrations of Credit Risk. For a summary of our significant accounting policies and the means by which we develop estimates thereon, see Part II, Item 8 – Financial Statements - Notes to unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements Note 2 – summary of significant accounting policies in our 2022 Form 10-K.
Adjusted EBITDA
We evaluate the performance of our operations based on financial measures such as “Adjusted EBITDA”, which is a non-GAAP financial measure. We define Adjusted EBITDA as net income (loss) before interest expense, interest income, income taxes, depreciation, amortization, stock-based compensation, and other non-cash or nonrecurring charges. We believe that Adjusted EBITDA is an important indicator of the operational strength and performance of the business, including the business’ ability to fund acquisitions and other capital expenditures, and to service its debt. Additionally, this measure is used by management to evaluate operating results and perform analytical comparisons and identify strategies to improve performance. Adjusted EBITDA is also a measure that is customarily used by financial analysts to evaluate a company's financial performance, subject to certain adjustments. Adjusted EBITDA does not represent cash flows from operations, as defined by GAAP, and should not be construed as an alternative to net income or loss and is indicative neither of our results of operations, nor of cash flows available to fund all of our cash needs. It is, however, a measurement that the Company believes is useful to investors in analyzing its operating performance. Accordingly, Adjusted EBITDA should be considered in addition to, but not as a substitute for, net income, cash flow provided by operating activities, and other measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with GAAP. As companies often define non-GAAP financial measures differently, Adjusted EBITDA, as calculated by the Company, should not be compared to any similarly titled measures reported by other companies.

Revenue
Revenue increased approximately $23.2 million, or 34.1%, to approximately $91.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2023, as compared to the corresponding prior year period. The increase is primarily attributable to incremental revenue of approximately $34.4 million related to the recently acquired Flooring Liquidators and Kinetic. The increase was partially offset by decreased revenues of approximately $11.2 million in the other businesses, which is primarily due to reduced demand and inflationary pressures.
Cost of Revenue
Cost of revenue as a percentage of revenue was 64.8% for three months ended June 30, 2023 as compared to 67.3% for the three months ended June 30, 2022. The decrease is primarily attributable to the acquisitions of Flooring Liquidators and Kinetic, which historically have generated higher margins.
General and Administrative Expense
General and Administrative expenses increased by 73.2% to approximately $23.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2023, as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2022. The increase is primarily due to increased General and Administrative expenses of approximately $9.2 million in the Retail-Flooring segment due to the acquisitions of Flooring Liquidators and $1.4 million in the Steel Manufacturing segment due to the acquisition of Kinetic.
34

Sales and Marketing Expense
Sales and marketing expense increased by 9.9% to approximately $3.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2023, as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2022, primarily due to convention and trade show activity in our Flooring Manufacturing segment and Retail-Flooring segment due to the acquisition of Flooring Liquidators.
Interest Expense, net
Interest expense, net, increased by approximately $2.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2023, as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2022, primarily due to increased debt balances related to the acquisitions of Flooring Liquidators and Kinetic, and to fund operations, and increased interest rates during the period.

Revenue
Revenue increased approximately $38.5 million, or 18.1%, to $251.6 million for the nine months ended June 30, 2023, as compared to the corresponding prior year period. The increase is primarily attributable to the Flooring Liquidators and Kinetic acquisitions, which contributed incremental revenue of approximately $67.3 million, partially offset by decreased revenues in the other businesses of approximately $28.8 million. The decrease in revenues is primarily due to reduced demand.
Cost of Revenue
Cost of revenue as a percentage of revenue was 65.9% for the nine months ended June 30, 2023 as compared to 64.8% for the nine months ended June 30, 2022.

General and Administrative Expense
General and Administrative expenses increased by 48.4% to approximately $60.4 million for the nine months ended June 30, 2023, as compared to the nine months ended June 30, 2022. The increase is primarily due to increased General and Administrative expenses of approximately $19.3 million in the Retail-Flooring and Steel Manufacturing segments due to the acquisitions of Flooring Liquidators and Kinetic.
Sales and Marketing Expense
Sales and marketing expense increased by 7.6% to approximately $10.2 million for the nine months ended June 30, 2023, as compared to the nine months ended June 30, 2022, primarily due to convention and trade show activity in our Flooring Manufacturing segment and Retail-Flooring segment due to the acquisition of Flooring Liquidators.

Operating income for the nine months ended June 30, 2023 was approximately $7.0 million, as compared to operating income of approximately $5.6 million in the prior period.
Corporate and Other Segment
Revenues for the nine months ended June 30, 2023 decreased by $5.2 million as compared to the prior year period. The decrease was primarily due to weakness at SW Financial, as well as the shut-down of its operations in May 2023. Cost of revenue as a percentage of revenue was 52.7% for the nine months ended June 30, 2023, as opposed to 58.2% for the nine months ended June 30, 2022. Operating loss for the nine months ended June 30, 2023 was approximately $5.4 million, as compared to a loss of approximately $2.8 million in the prior period. Revenues and operating income for our directory services business continue to decline due to decreasing renewals. We expect revenue and operating income from this segment to continue to decrease in the future. We are no longer accepting new customers in our directory services business.

Adjusted EBITDA$9,575 $8,840 $26,300 $31,193 
Adjusted EBITDA increased by approximately $735,000, or 8.3%, for the three months ended June 30, 2023, as compared to the prior year period. The increase is primarily due to a increases in non-operating and other non-recurring expenses, partially offset by decreases in operating income, as discussed above.
Adjusted EBITDA decreased by approximately $4.9 million, or 15.7%, for the nine months ended June 30, 2023, as compared to the prior year period. The decrease is primarily due to decreases in operating income, as discussed above, partially offset by increases in non-operating and other non-recurring expenses.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
As of June 30, 2023, we had total cash on hand of approximately $3.5 million and approximately $28.8 million of available borrowing under our revolving credit facilities. As we continue to pursue acquisitions and other strategic transactions to expand and grow our business, we regularly monitor capital market conditions and may raise additional funds through borrowings or public or private sales of debt or equity securities. The amount, nature, and timing of any borrowings or sales of debt or equity securities will depend on our operating performance and other circumstances; our then-current commitments and obligations; the amount, nature and timing of our capital requirements; any limitations imposed by our current credit arrangements; and, overall market conditions.
Based on our current operating plans, we believe that available cash balances, cash generated from our operating activities and funds available under our asset-based revolver lines of credit will provide sufficient liquidity to do the following: fund our operations; pay our scheduled loan payments; ability to repurchase shares under our share buyback program; and, pay dividends on our shares of Series E Preferred Stock as declared by the Board of Directors, for at least the next 12 months.
Working Capital
We had working capital of approximately $81.6 million as of June 30, 2023, as compared to working capital of approximately $78.4 million as of September 30, 2022; an increase of approximately $3.2 million. The increase is primarily due to increases in inventories, trade receivables, and prepaid expenses of approximately $19.8 million, partially offset by increases in the current portion of long-term debt, accrued liabilities, accounts payable, and the current portion operating lease obligations of approximately $16.2 million.
39

Cash Flows from Operating Activities
The Company’s cash, as of June 30, 2023, was approximately $3.5 million compared to approximately $4.6 million as of September 30, 2022, a decrease of approximately $1.1 million. Net cash provided by operations was approximately $26.0 million for the nine months ended June 30, 2023, as compared to net cash provided by operations of approximately $10.8 million for the nine months ended June 30, 2022. The increase was primarily due to reduced purchases of inventory, reduced expenditures for prepaid expenses, and increased accounts receivable, partially offset by increased accrued liabilities, payments for deposits, and payments on accounts payable.
Our primary sources of cash inflows are from customer receipts from sales on account, factored accounts receivable proceeds, receipts for securities sales commissions, and net remittances from directory services customers processed in the form of ACH billings. Our most significant cash outflows include payments for raw materials and general operating expenses, including payroll costs and general and administrative expenses that typically occur within close proximity of expense recognition.
Cash Flows from Investing Activities
Our cash flows used in investing activities of approximately $38.7 million for the nine months ended June 30, 2023 consisted of the acquisitions of Flooring Liquidators and Cal Coast Carpets, and purchases of property and equipment. Our cash flows used in investing activities of approximately $32.7 million for the nine months ended June 30, 2022 consisted primarily of the Kinetic acquisition, as well as purchases of property and equipment.
Cash Flows from Financing Activities
Our cash flows provided by financing activities of approximately $11.7 million during the nine months ended June 30, 2023 consisted of proceeds from notes payable of approximately $9.9 million, proceeds from related party notes payable of approximately $7.0 million, net proceeds under revolver loans of approximately $3.1 million, partially offset by payments of notes payable, financing leases, seller financing arrangements, debt acquisition costs and taxes paid for net settlement of stock options of approximately $7.3 million, and purchases of treasury stock in the amount of approximately $988,000.
Our cash flows provided by financing activities of approximately $20.8 million during the nine months ended June 30, 2022 consisted of proceeds from notes payable of approximately $20.3 million, and approximately $18.2 million in net proceeds under revolver loans, partially offset by payments of notes payable and financing leases of approximately $15.2 million, and purchases of treasury stock in the amount of approximately $2.5 million. Proceeds from borrowings under revolver loans, and the issuance of notes payable was primarily associated with the acquisition of Kinetic.
Currently, we are not issuing common shares for liquidity purposes. We prefer to use asset-based lending arrangements and mezzanine financing together with Company provided capital to finance acquisitions and have done so historically. Occasionally, as our Company history has demonstrated, we will issue stock and derivative instruments linked to stock for services or debt settlement.
Future Sources of Cash; New Products and Services
We may require additional debt financing or capital to finance new acquisitions, refinance existing indebtedness or other strategic investments in our business. Other sources of financing may include stock issuances and additional loans; or other forms of financing. Any financing obtained by us may further dilute or otherwise impair the ownership interest of our existing stockholders.
ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
As of June 30, 2023, we did not participate in any market risk-sensitive commodity instruments for which fair value disclosure would be required. We believe we are not subject in any material way to other forms of market risk, such as foreign currency exchange risk or foreign customer purchases or commodity price risk. We believe we are not subject in any material way to other forms of market risk, such as foreign currency exchange risk or foreign customer purchases or commodity price risk.
ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Evaluation of Disclosure control and Procedures. We carried out an evaluation, under the supervision, and with the participation of our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, of the
40

effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e)). Based upon that evaluation, as of December 31, 2022, we concluded that the Company's disclosure, controls, and procedures were effective.
Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting. Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f)). Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
The Company’s management, including the Company’s CEO and CFO, do not expect that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures or the Company’s internal control over financial reporting will prevent or detect all errors and all fraud. A control system, regardless of how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system will be met. These inherent limitations include the following: judgements in decision-making can be faulty, and control and process breakdowns can occur because of simple errors or mistakes, controls can be circumvented by individuals, acting alone or in collusion with each other, or by management override. The design of any system of controls is based in part on certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions. Over time, controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions or deterioration in the degree of compliance with policies or procedures. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, have been detected.
Our management assessed the design and effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of June 30, 2023. In making this assessment, we used the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (“COSO”) of 2013 regarding Internal Control – Integrated Framework. Based on our assessment using those criteria, as of June 30, 2023, our management concluded that our internal controls over financial reporting were operating effectively.
There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the three or nine months ended June 30, 2023 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II – OTHER INFORMATION
ITEM 1. Legal Proceedings
Please refer to “Item 3. Legal Proceedings” in our 2022 Annual Report on Form 10-K for information regarding material pending legal proceedings. Except as set forth therein and below, there have been no new material legal proceedings and no material developments in the legal proceedings previously disclosed.
SEC Investigation
On February 21, 2018, the Company received a subpoena from the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and a letter from the SEC stating that it is conducting an investigation. The subpoena requested documents and information concerning, among other things, the restatement of the Company’s financial statements for the quarterly periods ended December 31, 2016, March 31, 2017, and June 30, 2017, the acquisition of Marquis Industries, Inc., Vintage Stock, Inc., and ApplianceSmart, Inc., and the change in auditors. On August 12, 2020, three of the Company’s corporate executive officers (together, the “Executives”) each received a “Wells Notice” from the Staff of the SEC relating to the Company’s SEC investigation. On October 7, 2020, the Company received a “Wells Notice” from the Staff of the SEC relating to the Company’s previously-disclosed SEC investigation. The Wells Notices related to, among other things, the Company’s reporting of its financial performance for its fiscal year ended September 30, 2016, certain disclosures related to executive compensation, and its previous acquisition of ApplianceSmart, Inc. A Wells Notice is neither a formal charge of wrongdoing nor a final determination that the recipient has violated any law. The Wells Notices informed the Company and the Executives that the SEC Staff has made a preliminary determination to recommend that the SEC file an enforcement action against the Company and each of the Executives to allege certain violations of the federal securities laws. On October 1, 2018, the Company received a letter from the SEC requesting information regarding a potential violation of Section 13(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, based upon the timing of the Company’s Form 8-K filed on February 14, 2018. The Company cooperated fully with the SEC inquiry and provided a response to the SEC on October 26, 2018.
On August 2, 2021, the SEC filed a civil complaint in the United States District Court for the District of Nevada naming the Company and two of its executive officers - Jon Isaac, the Company’s current President and Chief Executive Officer, and Virland Johnson, the Company’s former Chief Financial Officer, as defendants (collectively, the “Company Defendants”) as well as certain other related third parties (the “SEC Complaint”). The SEC Complaint alleges various financial, disclosure, and reporting violations related to income and earnings per share data, purported undisclosed stock promotion and trading, purported inaccurate disclosure regarding beneficial ownership of common stock, and undisclosed executive compensation from 2016 through 2018. The violations are brought under Section 10(b) of the Exchange Act and Rule 10b-5; Sections 13(a), 13(b)(2)(B) and 13(b)(5) of the Exchange Act and Rules 12b-20, 13a-1, 13a-14, 13a-13, 13b2-1, 13b2-2; Section 14(a) of the Exchange Act and Rule 14a-3; and Section 17(a) of the Securities Act of 1933. The SEC seeks permanent injunctions against the Company Defendants, permanent officer-and-director bars, disgorgement of profits, and civil penalties. The foregoing is only a general summary of the SEC Complaint, which may be accessed on the SEC’s website at https://www.sec.gov/litigation/litreleases/2021/lr25155.htm.
On October 1, 2021, the Company Defendants and third-party defendants moved to dismiss the SEC complaint. On September 7, 2022, the court denied the Company Defendants’ motion to dismiss, but granted one of the third-party defendant’s motions to dismiss, granting the SEC leave to file an amended complaint. On September 21, 2022, the SEC filed an amended complaint to which the Company Defendants filed an answer on October 11, 2022, denying liability. The court subsequently entered a discovery scheduling order and the parties exchanged initial disclosures. The parties participated in a mediation in June 2023. The mediation was not successful and the case will now proceed through discovery.
The Company Defendants strongly dispute and deny the allegations and intend to continue to defend themselves vigorously against the claims.
Sieggreen Class Action
On August 13, 2021, Daniel E. Sieggreen, individually and on behalf of all others similarly situated claimants ("Plaintiff"), filed a class action complaint for violation of federal securities laws in the United States District Court for the District of Nevada, naming the Company, Jon Isaac, the Company's current President and Chief Executive Officer, and Virland Johnson, the Company's former Chief Financial Officer, as defendants (collectively, the "Company Defendants"). The allegations asserted are similar to those in the SEC Complaint. Among other sought relief, the complaint seeks damages in connection with the purchases and sales of the Company’s securities between December 28, 2016 and August 3, 2021. As of December 17, 2021, the judge granted a stipulation to stay proceedings pending the resolutions of the motions to dismiss
42

in the SEC Complaint. On February 1, 2023, the final motion to dismiss relating to the SEC Complaint was denied, which was subsequently noticed in the Sieggreen action on February 2, 2023. Plaintiff filed an Amended Complaint on March 6, 2023. On May 5, 2023, the Company Defendants filed a Motion to Dismiss the Amended Complaint, and the briefing on that motion is now complete. Discovery is automatically stayed in this case until after the disposition of the Motion to Dismiss. If the Motion to Dismiss is not successful, the case will proceed to discovery. The Company Defendants strongly dispute and deny the allegations at issue in this case and intend to continue to defend themselves vigorously against these claims.
Holdback Matter
On October 10, 2022, a representative for the former shareholders of Precision Marshall filed a civil complaint in the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware. The complaint alleges that the Company violated the terms of the Agreement and Plan of Merger dated July 14, 2020, by failing to pay the shareholders a certain indemnity holdback of $2,500,000. Plaintiff alleged that he effectuated service of the complaint on the Company, but the Company did not receive notification of the action until it received an Application for Default Judgment filed with the court on December 26, 2022. On December 28, 2022, the Court issued a letter order questioning its jurisdiction over the matter and directed plaintiff’s counsel to submit briefing as to why it believes jurisdiction is proper. Plaintiff filed its brief on January 13, 2023. On April 13, 2023, the Court dismissed the action in its entirety for lack of jurisdiction, rendering the Application for Default Judgment moot.
On January 12, 2023, and after jurisdiction over the case was questioned by the Court of Chancery, State of Delaware, plaintiff filed a substantially identical complaint in the Western District of Pennsylvania. After the Delaware action was dismissed, plaintiff requested that counsel waive service of the Pennsylvania complaint. On April 19, 2023, the Company agreed to waive service. The Company’s response to the Complaint was filed on August 7, 2023. The Company intends to defend itself vigorously against these claims.
Wage and Hour Matter
On July 27, 2022, Irma Sanchez, a former employee of Elite Builder Services, Inc. (“Elite Builders”), filed a class action complaint against Elite Builders in the Superior Court of California, County of Alameda. The complaint alleges that Elite Builders failed to pay all minimum and overtime wages, failed to provide lawful meal periods and rest breaks, failed to provide accurate itemized wage statements, and failed to pay all wages due upon separation as required by California law. The complaint was later amended as a matter of right on October 4, 2022. Further, Ms. Sanchez has put the Labor & Workforce Development Agency on notice to exhaust administrative remedies and enable her to bring an additional claim under the California Labor Code Private Attorneys General Act, which permits an employee to assert a claim for violations of certain California Labor Code provisions on behalf of all aggrieved employees to recover statutory penalties. A Motion for Change of Venue to Stanislaus County was filed by Elite Builders on December 7, 2022. The hearing on the motion was heard on February 8, 2023 and the motion was granted. The Company believes that Ms. Sanchez’s claims lack merit and intends to defend this action vigorously. The Company is currently unable to estimate the range of possible losses associated with this proceeding since no discovery has commenced and the scope of class is not yet known.
Consumer Protection Act
On December 4, 2022, Sheila Thompson and Dennis Thompson filed a Complaint in the 21st Judicial Circuit Court of St. Louis County, Missouri asserting putative class claims arising under the Telephone Consumer Protection Act, 47 U.S.C. 227, and related Missouri state law claims pertaining to purportedly unsolicited text message advertisements. Vintage Stock, Inc. (“Vintage”) was served on December 13, 2022. On January 11, 2023, Vintage timely removed the case from the state court into federal court. On February 8, 2023, Vintage filed a Motion to Dismiss and Motion to Strike Class Allegations. On March 1, 2023, plaintiffs filed their First Amended Complaint that mooted the pending motion. On March 15, 2023, Vintage moved to dismiss and/or strike the First Amended Complaint.
The motion is fully briefed and stands submitted to the Court for decision. Vintage disputes the allegations and intends to defend itself vigorously against the claims in the First Amended Complaint. As the case is still in the pleading stage, it is premature to estimate potential liability.
Salomon Whitney Settlement
Effective March 31, 2023, the Company entered into a settlement agreement in which the principals of Salomon Whitney, LLC agreed to pay the Company $1.0 million within 10 days of the effective date, and agreed to pay an additional $1.0 million within 45 days of the effective date if certain conditions of the settlement agreement were not met. The Company recorded a receivable for the initial payment of $1.0 million on March 31, 2023, which it has recorded as other income in
43

its condensed consolidated statements of income, and payment was received on April 17, 2023. The Company received and recorded payment for the additional $1.0 million on May 16, 2023.

ITEM 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of funds

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Principles of Consolidation
The unaudited condensed financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its majority owned subsidiaries over which the Company exercises control. The Company records a non-controlling interest within stockholders’ equity for the portion of the entity’s equity attributed to the consolidated entities that are not wholly owned. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. These reclassifications have no material effect on the reported financial results.
Reclassifications
Certain amounts in the prior period have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires the Company’s 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 condensed consolidated financial statements, as well as the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Significant estimates made in connection with the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements include the estimated reserve for doubtful accounts, the estimated reserve for excess and obsolete inventory, fair values of goodwill, other intangibles and long-lived assets in connection with an acquisition, fair values in connection with the analysis of goodwill, other intangibles and long-lived assets for impairment, valuation allowance against deferred tax assets, and estimated useful lives for intangible assets and property and equipment.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU No. 2020-04 - Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848), codified as ASC 848 (“ASC 848”). The purpose of ASC 848 is to provide optional guidance to ease the potential effects on financial reporting of the market-wide migration away from Interbank Offered Rates to alternative reference rates. ASC 848 applies only to contracts, hedging relationships, and other transactions that reference a reference rate expected to be discontinued because of reference rate reform. Effective December 31, 2021, the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”) replaced the USD London Interbank-Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) for most financial benchmarking. The guidance may be applied upon issuance of ASC 848 through December 31, 2022. The Company has adopted this new accounting standard on its condensed consolidated financial statements and related disclosures; however, adoption of this ASU had no material impact on the Company's financial statements.

Acquisition of Flooring Liquidators
On January 18, 2023, Live Ventures acquired 100% of the issued and outstanding equity interests (the “Equity Interests”) of Flooring Liquidators, Inc., Elite Builder Services, Inc., 7 Day Stone, Inc., Floorable, LLC, K2L Leasing, LLC, and SJ & K Equipment, Inc. (collectively, the “Acquired Companies”). The Acquired Companies are leading retailers and installers of floors, carpets, and countertops to consumers, builders and contractors in California and Nevada (see Note 11).
The acquisition was effected pursuant to a Securities Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with an effective date of January 18, 2023 by and among the Company, and Stephen J. Kellogg, as the seller representative of the equity holders of the Acquired Companies and individually in his capacity as an equity holder of the Acquired Companies, and the other equity holders of the Acquired Companies (collectively, the “Seller”). The purchase price for the Equity Interests was $83.8 million before any fair value considerations, and is comprised of the following:
$41.8 million in cash to the Seller;
$34.0 million (the “Note Amount”) to certain trusts for the benefit of Kellogg and members of his family (the “Kellogg Trusts”) pursuant to the issuance by the Company of a subordinated promissory note (the “Note”) in favor of the Kellogg Trusts;
$4.0 million to the Kellogg 2022 Family Irrevocable Nevada Trust by issuance of 116,441 shares of Company Common Stock (as defined in the Purchase Agreement) (the “Share Amount”), calculated in the manner described in the Purchase Agreement;
$2.0 million holdback; and
$2.0 million of contingent consideration, comprised of $1.0 million in cash and $1.0 million in restricted stock units.
The fair value the purchase price components outlined above was $78.7 million due to fair value adjustments for the Note, restricted stock, and contingent consideration.
Under the preliminary purchase price allocation, the Company recognized goodwill of approximately $30.6 million, which is calculated as the excess of both the consideration exchanged and liabilities assumed as compared to the fair value of the identifiable assets acquired. The values assigned to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed are based on their estimates of fair value available as of January 18, 2023, as calculated by an independent third-party firm. The Company anticipates approximately $13.4 million of the goodwill arising from the acquisition to be fully deductible for tax purposes. The table
below outlines the purchase price allocation of the purchase for Flooring Liquidators to the acquired identifiable assets, liabilities assumed and goodwill (in $000’s):

During the three months ended June 30, 2023, the Company recorded a fair value adjustment to increase goodwill by $1.9 million. The increase relates to an increase in the value of other assets acquired of $1.3 million, as well as an increase in the value of accrued liabilities assumed of $2.3 million, partially offset by a reduction in inventory acquired of $842,000.

Acquisition of Cal Coast Carpets
On June 2, 2023, Flooring Liquidators acquired certain fixed assets and other intangible assets of Cal Coast Carpets, Inc. (“Cal Coast”), and its Shareholders, which was effected through two Asset Purchase Agreements (“Agreement”, or collectively, “Agreements”). No liabilities were assumed as part of either transaction. The purchase price for the fixed assets acquired from Cal Coast was $35,000, and the intangible assets acquired from the Shareholders was approximately $1.265 million, for a total combined purchase price of $1.3 million. The intangible assets acquired were comprised of customer relationships, trade name, and non-compete agreements. The acquisition was determined to be an asset acquisition for accounting purposes and, as such, no goodwill was recorded as part of the transaction. The values assigned to the assets acquired are based on their estimates of fair value available as of June 2, 2023, as calculated by management.

Acquisition of Kinetic
On June 28, 2022, Precision Marshall (“Precision”) acquired 100% of the issued and outstanding shares of common stock of The Kinetic Co., Inc. (“Kinetic”), a Wisconsin corporation, which was effected through a Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”). In connection with the Purchase Agreement, Precision also entered into a Real Estate Purchase Agreement with Plant B-6, LLC, an affiliate of Kinetic, pursuant to which Precision received all of Kinetic's right, title, and interest in and to the land and improvements (collectively, the “Real Estate”) that Kinetic uses in its operations. The combined purchase price for the Kinetic shares and Real Estate was approximately $24.7 million, which was funded with approximately $11.0 million in borrowings under the company’s credit facility, approximately $8.3 million in proceeds from the sale and leaseback of the Real Estate, a subordinated promissory note in the principal amount of $3.0 million for the benefit of the Seller of Kinetic, $1.7 million of cash on-hand, a contingent earn-out liability valued at $997,000, a working capital adjustment of approximately $400,000, which was paid in cash, and a final fair value adjustment of approximately $312,000, which was noncash.
As of the date of acquisition, Precision entered into a sale and leaseback agreement with a third-party, independent of the Kinetic sellers, for the Real Estate. The sale price of the Real Estate was approximately $8.9 million, subject to closing fees of approximately $547,000.
The provisions of the lease agreement include a 20-year lease term with two five-year renewal options. The base rent under the lease agreement is $600,000 for the first year of the term and a 2% per annum escalator. The Lease Agreement is a “net lease,” such that the lessees are also obligated to pay all taxes, insurance, assessments, and other costs, expenses, and obligations of ownership of the Real Property incurred by the lessor. Due to the highly specialized nature of the leased assets, the Company currently believes that it is more likely than not that each of the two five-year options will be exercised. The proceeds, net of closing fees, from the sale-leaseback were used to assist in funding the acquisition of Kinetic.
Under the purchase price allocation, the Company recognized goodwill of approximately $3.0 million, which is calculated as the excess of both the consideration exchanged and liabilities assumed as compared to the fair value of the identifiable assets acquired. The values assigned to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed are based on their estimates of fair value available as of June 28, 2022, as calculated by an independent third-party firm. Goodwill arising from the acquisition is
expected to be fully deductible for tax purposes. The table below outlines the purchase price allocation of the purchase for Kinetic to the acquired identifiable assets, liabilities assumed and goodwill as of June 30, 2023 (in $000’s):

Acquisition of Better Backers
On July 1, 2022, Live acquired certain assets and intellectual property of Better Backers, a Georgia corporation, which was effected through an Asset Purchase Agreement (the “Asset Purchase Agreement”). No liabilities were assumed as part of the acquisition. The purchase price, which is subject to certain post-closing adjustments, was approximately $3.2 million, which is comprised of $1.8 million that was paid upon closing, and the $1.4 million present value of $1.5 million of non-compete payments to be made over a 24-month period. In order to expedite the transaction, the acquisition was originally made by Live, and the $1.8 million paid upon closing was funded with borrowings under Live’s credit line with Isaac Capital Group (“ICG”). On August 18, 2022, Marquis repaid the $1.8 million to ICG and assumed ownership of Better Backers.
In connection with the acquisition, Marquis entered into two 20-year building leases with Spyglass Estate Planning, LLC, a related party (see Note 16), with two options to renew for an additional five years each. The fair value of the buildings and improvement is approximately $9.3 million. The provisions of the lease agreements include an initial 24-month month-to-month rental period, during which the lessee may cancel with 90-day notice, followed by a 20-year lease term with two five-year renewal options. Due to the highly specialized nature of the leased assets, the Company currently believes that it is more likely than not that it will not cancel during the initial 24-month term, and that each of the two five-year options will be exercised. The base rent under the lease agreements is approximately $73,000 and $32,000 per month, respectively, for the first year of the term, and each lease agreement has a 2.5% per annum escalator. The lease agreements are each “net leases”, such that the lessee is also obligated to pay all taxes, insurance, assessments, and other costs, expenses, and obligations of ownership of the property. The Company has evaluated each lease and determined the rent amounts to be at market rates. These leases are being treated as finance leases for accounting purposes, as described in ASC 842 “Leases”.
Under the purchase price allocation, no goodwill was recognized. The values assigned to the assets acquired are based on their estimates of fair value available as of July 1, 2022, as calculated by management. The table below outlines the purchase price allocation of the purchase for Better Backers to the acquired identifiable assets (in $000’s):

On March 31, 2023, the Company entered into a Settlement Agreement and Mutual Release (“Agreement”) with Angia Holdings, LLC and Thomas Diamante and Lawrence Zelin (“Principals”). The Agreement stipulated that the Principals would pay the Company $1,000,000 within 10 days of the effective date of the Agreement, and an additional $1,000,000 within 45 days of the effective date of the Agreement if a joint venture, with terms acceptable to the Company, was not formed.
The Principals made the initial $1,000,000 payment in April 2023, and, having failed to form a joint venture, as described above, made the second $1,000,000 payment in May 2023. Consequently, employment of the Principals was terminated, and operations of SW Financial were shut down. The Company recorded a gain on receipt of the settlement amounts of $2,000,000 and a loss on deconsolidation of SW Financial's assets and liabilities of approximately $1.7 million, as detailed in the table below (in $000’s):

Leases [Abstract]  
Leases Leases
The Company leases retail stores, warehouse facilities, and office space. These assets and properties are generally leased under noncancelable agreements that expire at various future dates with many agreements containing renewal options for additional periods. The agreements, which have been classified as either operating or finance leases, generally provide for minimum and, in some cases, percentage rent, and require the Company to pay all insurance, taxes, and other maintenance costs. As a result, the Company recognizes assets and liabilities for all leases with lease terms greater than 12 months. The amounts recognized reflect the present value of remaining lease payments for all leases. The discount rate used is an estimate of the Company’s blended incremental borrowing rate based on information available associated with each subsidiary’s debt outstanding at lease commencement. In considering the lease asset value, the Company considers fixed and variable payment terms, prepayments and options to extend, terminate or purchase. Renewal, termination, or purchase options affect the lease term used for determining lease asset value only if the option is reasonably certain to be exercised.
As of June 30, 2023, the weighted average remaining lease term for operating leases is 7.2 years. The Company's weighted average discount rate for operating leases is 8.4%. Total cash payments for operating leases for the nine months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022 were approximately $8.2 million and $7.2 million, respectively. Additionally, we obtained right-of-use assets in exchange for operating lease liabilities of approximately $19.9 million upon commencement of operating leases during the nine months ended June 30, 2023.
As of June 30, 2023, the weighted average remaining lease term for finance leases is 26.9 years. The Company's weighted average discount rate for finance leases is 13.2%. Total cash payments for finance leases for the nine months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022 were approximately $1.6 million and $0, respectively. Additionally, we obtained right-of-use assets in exchange for finance lease liabilities of approximately $443,000 upon commencement of operating leases during the nine months ended June 30, 2023.

Earnings Per Share [Abstract]  
Earnings Per Share Earnings Per Share
Net income per share is calculated using the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the applicable period. Basic weighted average common shares outstanding do not include shares of restricted stock that have not yet vested, although such shares are included as outstanding shares in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet. Diluted net income per share is computed using the weighted average number of common shares outstanding and if dilutive, potential common shares outstanding during the period. Potential common shares consist of the additional common shares issuable in respect of restricted share awards, stock options and convertible preferred stock. Preferred stock dividends are subtracted from net earnings to determine the amount available to common stockholders.
The following table presents the computation of basic and diluted net earnings per share (in $000's):

Customer Connexx LLC, formerly a subsidiary of JanOne, rents approximately 9,900 square feet of office space from the Company at its Las Vegas office, which totals 16,500 square feet. JanOne paid the Company $55,000 and $52,000 in rent and other reimbursed expenses for three months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022 and $160,000 and $163,000 in rent and other reimbursed expenses for the nine months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively.
Purchase Agreement with ARCA Recycling
On April 5, 2022, the Company entered into a Purchasing Agreement with ARCA Recycling, Inc. (“ARCA”), then a wholly-owned subsidiary of JanOne. Pursuant to the agreement, the Company agreed to purchase inventory from time to time for ARCA as set forth in submitted purchase orders. The inventory is owned by the Company until ARCA installs it in customer's homes, and payment by ARCA to the Company is due upon ARCA's receipt of payment from the customer. All purchases made by the Company must be paid back by ARCA in full, plus an additional five percent surcharge or broker-
type fee. The initial term of the Agreement was for one year, and automatically renews for successive one-year terms if not terminated by either party.
Due to significant doubt that the full balance due from ARCA will be paid, on May 24, 2023 the parties entered into a Promissory Note in the aggregate principal amount of $583,894, which represented the principal balance due as of that date, payable by ARCA for the benefit of the Company, to repay the outstanding receivables balance (“ARCA Note”). The ARCA Note bears interest at a rate of 10% per annum with payments of $75,000 due each month beginning on June 1, 2023, until the promissory note is repaid in full, and accrues late fees if payments are delinquent. The Company also recorded an allowance of approximately $300,000 against the amount due. As of June 30, 2023, the amount due from ARCA was approximately $300,000, net of the allowance recorded.
Transactions with Vintage Stock CEO
Rodney Spriggs, the President and Chief Executive Officer of Vintage Stock, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, is the sole member of Spriggs Investments, LLC (“Spriggs Investments”).
Spriggs Promissory Note I
On July 10, 2020, the Company executed a promissory note (the “Spriggs Promissory Note I”) in favor of Spriggs Investments that memorializes a loan by Spriggs Investments to the Company in the initial principal amount of $2.0 million (the “Spriggs Loan I”). The Spriggs Loan I originally matured on July 10, 2022; however, the maturity date was extended to July 10, 2023, pursuant to unanimous written consent of the Board of Directors. The Spriggs Promissory Note I bears simple interest at a rate of 10.0% per annum. On January 19, 2023, the Company entered into a modification agreement of the Spriggs Loan I. Consequently, the Spriggs Promissory Note I will bear interest at a rate of 12% per annum, and the maturity date was extended to July 31, 2024. As of June 30, 2023 and September 30, 2022, the amount owed was $2.0 million.
Spriggs Promissory Note II
On January 19, 2023, in connection with the acquisition of Flooring Liquidators, the Company executed a promissory note in favor of Spriggs Investments in the initial principal amount of $1.0 million (the “Spriggs Loan II”). The Spriggs Loan II matures on July 31, 2024, and bears interest at a rate of 12% per annum. As of June 30, 2023, the amount owed was $1.0 million.

Jon Isaac, the Company's President and Chief Executive Officer, is the sole member of Spyglass Estate Planning, LLC (“Spyglass”).
Building Leases
On July 1, 2022, in connection with its acquisition of Better Backers, Marquis entered into two building leases with Spyglass. The building leases are for 20 years with two options to renew for an additional five years each. The provisions of the lease agreements include an initial 24-month month-to-month rental period, during which the lessee may cancel with 90-day notice, followed by a 20-year lease term with two five-year renewal options. The Company has evaluated each lease and determined the rental amounts to be at market rates.
Sellers Notes
Note Payable to the Sellers of Kinetic
In connection with the purchase of Kinetic (see Note 3), on June 28, 2022, Precision Marshall entered into a seller financed loan in the amount of $3.0 million with the previous owners of Kinetic. The Sellers Subordinated Acquisition Note bears interest at 7.0% per annum, with interest payable quarterly in arrears. The Sellers Subordinated Acquisition Note has a maturity date of September 27, 2027. As of June 30, 2023, the remaining principal balance was $3.0 million.
Note Payable to the Seller of Flooring Liquidators
In connection with the purchase of Flooring Liquidators, on January 18, 2023, Flooring Affiliated Holdings, LLC (“Buyer”) entered into a seller financed mezzanine loan, which is fully guaranteed by the Company, in the amount of $34.0 million with the previous owners of Flooring Liquidators. The Seller Subordinated Acquisition Note (“Sellers Note”) bears interest at 8.24% per annum, with interest payable monthly in arrears beginning on January 18, 2024. The Sellers Note has a maturity date of January 18, 2028. The fair value assigned to the Sellers Note, as calculated by an independent third-party firm, was $31.7 million, or a discount of $2.3 million. The $2.3 million discount is being accreted to interest expense, using
the effective interest rate method, as required by GAAP, over the term of the Sellers Note. As of June 30, 2023, the carrying value of the Sellers Note was approximately $31.9 million.
Procedures for Approval of Related Party Transactions
In accordance with its charter, the Audit Committee reviews and determines whether to approve all related party transactions (as such term is defined for purposes of Item 404 of Regulation S-K). The Audit Committee participated in the review and approval of the transactions described above.

Litigation
SEC Investigation
On February 21, 2018, the Company received a subpoena from the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and a letter from the SEC stating that it is conducting an investigation. The subpoena requested documents and information concerning, among other things, the restatement of the Company’s financial statements for the quarterly periods ended December 31, 2016, March 31, 2017, and June 30, 2017, the acquisition of Marquis Industries, Inc., Vintage Stock, Inc., and ApplianceSmart, Inc., and the change in auditors. On August 12, 2020, three of the Company’s corporate executive officers (together, the “Executives”) each received a “Wells Notice” from the Staff of the SEC relating to the Company’s SEC investigation. On October 7, 2020, the Company received a “Wells Notice” from the Staff of the SEC relating to the Company’s previously-disclosed SEC investigation. The Wells Notices related to, among other things, the Company’s reporting of its financial performance for its fiscal year ended September 30, 2016, certain disclosures related to executive compensation, and its previous acquisition of ApplianceSmart, Inc. A Wells Notice is neither a formal charge of wrongdoing nor a final determination that the recipient has violated any law. The Wells Notices informed the Company and the Executives that the SEC Staff has made a preliminary determination to recommend that the SEC file an enforcement action against the Company and each of the Executives to allege certain violations of the federal securities laws. On October 1, 2018, the Company received a letter from the SEC requesting information regarding a potential violation of Section 13(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, based upon the timing of the Company’s Form 8-K filed on February 14, 2018. The Company cooperated fully with the SEC inquiry and provided a response to the SEC on October 26, 2018.
On August 2, 2021, the SEC filed a civil complaint in the United States District Court for the District of Nevada naming the Company and two of its executive officers - Jon Isaac, the Company’s current President and Chief Executive Officer, and Virland Johnson, the Company’s former Chief Financial Officer, as defendants (collectively, the “Company Defendants”) as well as certain other related third parties (the “SEC Complaint”). The SEC Complaint alleges various financial, disclosure, and reporting violations related to income and earnings per share data, purported undisclosed stock promotion and trading, purported inaccurate disclosure regarding beneficial ownership of common stock, and undisclosed executive compensation from 2016 through 2018. The violations are brought under Section 10(b) of the Exchange Act and Rule 10b-5; Sections 13(a), 13(b)(2)(B) and 13(b)(5) of the Exchange Act and Rules 12b-20, 13a-1, 13a-14, 13a-13, 13b2-1, 13b2-2; Section 14(a) of the Exchange Act and Rule 14a-3; and Section 17(a) of the Securities Act of 1933. The SEC seeks permanent injunctions against the Company Defendants, permanent officer-and-director bars, disgorgement of profits, and civil penalties. The foregoing is only a general summary of the SEC Complaint, which may be accessed on the SEC’s website at https://www.sec.gov/litigation/litreleases/2021/lr25155.htm.
On October 1, 2021, the Company Defendants and third-party defendants moved to dismiss the SEC complaint. On September 7, 2022, the court denied the Company Defendants’ motion to dismiss, but granted one of the third-party defendant’s motions to dismiss, granting the SEC leave to file an amended complaint. On September 21, 2022, the SEC filed an amended complaint to which the Company Defendants filed an answer on October 11, 2022, denying liability. The court subsequently entered a discovery scheduling order and the parties exchanged initial disclosures. The parties participated in a mediation in June 2023. The mediation was not successful and the case will now proceed through discovery.
The Company Defendants strongly dispute and deny the allegations and intend to continue to defend themselves vigorously against the claims.
Sieggreen Class Action
On August 13, 2021, Daniel E. Sieggreen, individually and on behalf of all others similarly situated claimants ("Plaintiff"), filed a class action complaint for violation of federal securities laws in the United States District Court for the District of
Nevada, naming the Company, Jon Isaac, the Company's current President and Chief Executive Officer, and Virland Johnson, the Company's former Chief Financial Officer, as defendants (collectively, the "Company Defendants"). The allegations asserted are similar to those in the SEC Complaint. Among other sought relief, the complaint seeks damages in connection with the purchases and sales of the Company’s securities between December 28, 2016 and August 3, 2021. As of December 17, 2021, the judge granted a stipulation to stay proceedings pending the resolutions of the motions to dismiss in the SEC Complaint. On February 1, 2023, the final motion to dismiss relating to the SEC Complaint was denied, which was subsequently noticed in the Sieggreen action on February 2, 2023. Plaintiff filed an Amended Complaint on March 6, 2023. On May 5, 2023, the Company Defendants filed a Motion to Dismiss the Amended Complaint, and the briefing on that motion is now complete. Discovery is automatically stayed in this case until after the disposition of the Motion to Dismiss. If the Motion to Dismiss is not successful, the case will proceed to discovery. The Company Defendants strongly dispute and deny the allegations at issue in this case and intend to continue to defend themselves vigorously against these claims.
Holdback Matter
On October 10, 2022, a representative for the former shareholders of Precision Marshall filed a civil complaint in the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware. The complaint alleges that the Company violated the terms of the Agreement and Plan of Merger dated July 14, 2020, by failing to pay the shareholders a certain indemnity holdback of $2,500,000. Plaintiff alleged that he effectuated service of the complaint on the Company, but the Company did not receive notification of the action until it received an Application for Default Judgment filed with the court on December 26, 2022. On December 28, 2022, the Court issued a letter order questioning its jurisdiction over the matter and directed plaintiff’s counsel to submit briefing as to why it believes jurisdiction is proper. Plaintiff filed its brief on January 13, 2023. On April 13, 2023, the Court dismissed the action in its entirety for lack of jurisdiction, rendering the Application for Default Judgment moot.
On January 12, 2023, and after jurisdiction over the case was questioned by the Court of Chancery, State of Delaware, plaintiff filed a substantially identical complaint in the Western District of Pennsylvania. After the Delaware action was dismissed, plaintiff requested that counsel waive service of the Pennsylvania complaint. On April 19, 2023, the Company agreed to waive service. The Company’s response to the Complaint was filed on August 7, 2023. The Company intends to defend itself vigorously against these claims.
Wage and Hour Matter
On July 27, 2022, Irma Sanchez, a former employee of Elite Builder Services, Inc. (“Elite Builders”), filed a class action complaint against Elite Builders in the Superior Court of California, County of Alameda. The complaint alleges that Elite Builders failed to pay all minimum and overtime wages, failed to provide lawful meal periods and rest breaks, failed to provide accurate itemized wage statements, and failed to pay all wages due upon separation as required by California law. The complaint was later amended as a matter of right on October 4, 2022. Further, Ms. Sanchez has put the Labor & Workforce Development Agency on notice to exhaust administrative remedies and enable her to bring an additional claim under the California Labor Code Private Attorneys General Act, which permits an employee to assert a claim for violations of certain California Labor Code provisions on behalf of all aggrieved employees to recover statutory penalties. A Motion for Change of Venue to Stanislaus County was filed by Elite Builders on December 7, 2022. The hearing on the motion was heard on February 8, 2023 and the motion was granted. The Company believes that Ms. Sanchez’s claims lack merit and intends to defend this action vigorously. The Company is currently unable to estimate the range of possible losses associated with this proceeding since no discovery has commenced and the scope of class is not yet known.
Consumer Protection Act
On December 4, 2022, Sheila Thompson and Dennis Thompson filed a Complaint in the 21st Judicial Circuit Court of St. Louis County, Missouri asserting putative class claims arising under the Telephone Consumer Protection Act, 47 U.S.C. 227, and related Missouri state law claims pertaining to purportedly unsolicited text message advertisements. Vintage Stock, Inc. (“Vintage”) was served on December 13, 2022. On January 11, 2023, Vintage timely removed the case from the state court into federal court. On February 8, 2023, Vintage filed a Motion to Dismiss and Motion to Strike Class Allegations. On March 1, 2023, plaintiffs filed their First Amended Complaint that mooted the pending motion. On March 15, 2023, Vintage moved to dismiss and/or strike the First Amended Complaint.
The motion is fully briefed and stands submitted to the Court for decision. Vintage disputes the allegations and intends to defend itself vigorously against the claims in the First Amended Complaint. As the case is still in the pleading stage, it is premature to estimate potential liability.
Salomon Whitney Settlement
Effective March 31, 2023, the Company entered into a settlement agreement in which the principals of Salomon Whitney, LLC agreed to pay the Company $1.0 million within 10 days of the effective date, and agreed to pay an additional $1.0 million within 45 days of the effective date if certain conditions of the settlement agreement were not met. The Company recorded a receivable for the initial payment of $1.0 million on March 31, 2023, which it has recorded as other income in its condensed consolidated statements of income, and payment was received on April 17, 2023. The Company received and recorded payment for the additional $1.0 million on May 16, 2023.
Generally
The Company is involved in various claims and lawsuits arising in the normal course of business. The ultimate results of claims and litigation cannot be predicted with certainty. The Company currently believes that the ultimate outcome of such lawsuits and proceedings will not, individually, or in the aggregate, have a material adverse effect on our condensed consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows. As applicable, liabilities pertaining to these matters, that are probable and estimable, have been accrued.

Acquisition of Precision Metal Works
On July 20, 2023, the Company acquired Precision Metal Works, Inc. (“PMW”), a Kentucky-based Metal Stamping and Value-Added Manufacturing Company. PMW was acquired for total consideration of approximately $28 million, comprised of a $25 million purchase price, with additional consideration of up to $3 million paid in the form of an earn-out. The purchase price was funded in part by a $2.5 million seller note, borrowings under a credit facility of $14.4 million, and proceeds under a sale-lease back transaction. The acquisition involved no issuance of stock of the Company. Management will assess the fair value of total consideration in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification 805, Business Combinations, in connection with the application of purchase accounting.

Accounting Policies [Abstract]  
Principles of Consolidation
Principles of Consolidation
The unaudited condensed financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its majority owned subsidiaries over which the Company exercises control. The Company records a non-controlling interest within stockholders’ equity for the portion of the entity’s equity attributed to the consolidated entities that are not wholly owned. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. These reclassifications have no material effect on the reported financial results.
Reclassifications
Reclassifications
Certain amounts in the prior period have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation.
Use of Estimates
Use of Estimates
The preparation of the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires the Company’s 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 condensed consolidated financial statements, as well as the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Significant estimates made in connection with the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements include the estimated reserve for doubtful accounts, the estimated reserve for excess and obsolete inventory, fair values of goodwill, other intangibles and long-lived assets in connection with an acquisition, fair values in connection with the analysis of goodwill, other intangibles and long-lived assets for impairment, valuation allowance against deferred tax assets, and estimated useful lives for intangible assets and property and equipment.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU No. 2020-04 - Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848), codified as ASC 848 (“ASC 848”). The purpose of ASC 848 is to provide optional guidance to ease the potential effects on financial reporting of the market-wide migration away from Interbank Offered Rates to alternative reference rates. ASC 848 applies only to contracts, hedging relationships, and other transactions that reference a reference rate expected to be discontinued because of reference rate reform. Effective December 31, 2021, the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”) replaced the USD London Interbank-Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) for most financial benchmarking. The guidance may be applied upon issuance of ASC 848 through December 31, 2022. The Company has adopted this new accounting standard on its condensed consolidated financial statements and related disclosures; however, adoption of this ASU had no material impact on the Company's financial statements.
