Notes to the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

Pro Forma Balance Sheet, as at March 31, 2022

Total pro forma assets decreased by $12.7 million which is attributable to the decrease in intangible assets of $44.5 million, the carrying value of the Xxxxx Xxxxxxx trademarks. This was partially offset by an increase the retained interest in the Xxxxx Xxxxxxx brands of $16.5 million and an increase in pro forma cash of $15.3 million. The increase in the retained interest of the Xxxxx Xxxxxxx brand is based on the estimated fair value of the Company’s ownership and rights under the operating agreement. The increase in pro forma cash of $15.3 million is attributable to $46.2 million of proceeds from the sale of the Xxxxx Xxxxxxx brand, less $30.1 of payments made to satisfy the company’s debt, including early termination fees, interest and expense, and direct deal costs of $0.8 million.

Pro forma total liabilities decreased by $27.5 million attributable to satisfying the company’s term debt. Pro forma equity increased by $14.8 million attributable to a gain on the sale of the Xxxxx Xxxxxxx brand and partially offset by fees associated with paying off the Company’s term debt.

Pro Forma Statement of Operations, for the Three Months ended March 31, 2022

Pro forma net loss increased by $1.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022.

This was partially offset by interest and financing savings of $0.7 million and a tax benefit of $0.4 million. Interest and financing charges were adjusted on a pro forma basis with the Company being debt free. The income tax benefit was based on the pro forma loss before income taxes multiplied by the incremental marginal tax rate.

Pro Forma Statement of Operations, for the Year ended December 31, 2021

Pro forma net loss increased by $5.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2021.
