Board of Directors

Transit Energy Group, LLC and Subsidiaries

Opinion

We have audited the consolidated financial statements of Transit Energy Group, LLC (a Delaware corporation) and subsidiaries (the “Company”), which comprise the consolidated balance sheets as of December 31, 2021 and 2020, and the related consolidated statements of operations, changes in members’ capital, and cash flows for the years then ended, and the related notes to the financial statements.

In our opinion, the accompanying consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2021 and 2020, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years then ended in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Basis for opinion

We conducted our audits of the consolidated financial statements in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America (US GAAS). Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements section of our report. We are required to be independent of the Company and to meet our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with the relevant ethical requirements relating to our audits. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.

Responsibilities of management for the financial statements

Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the consolidated financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, and for the design, implementation, and maintenance of internal control relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of consolidated financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

In preparing the consolidated financial statements, management is required to evaluate whether there are conditions or events, considered in the aggregate, that raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for one year after the date the financial statements are issued.

Auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance but is not absolute assurance and therefore is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with US GAAS will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control. Misstatements are considered material if there is a substantial likelihood that, individually or in the aggregate, they would influence the judgment made by a reasonable user based on the consolidated financial statements.

GT.COM Grant Thornton LLP is the U.S. member firm of Grant Thornton International Ltd (GTIL). GTIL and each of its member firms are separate legal entities and are not a worldwide partnership.

img37625072_1.jpg

In performing an audit in accordance with US GAAS, we:

• Exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit.

• Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, and design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks. Such procedures include examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements.

• Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control. Accordingly, no such opinion is expressed.

• Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of significant accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluate the overall presentation of the consolidated financial statements.

• Conclude whether, in our judgment, there are conditions or events, considered in the aggregate, that raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for a reasonable period of time.

We are required to communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit, significant audit findings, and certain internal control–related matters that we identified during the audit.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

December 31, 2021 and 2020

NOTE A - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Description of a Business and Basis of Presentation

The inception of Transit Energy Group, LLC (TEG or Company) was on May 1, 2019 and incorporated in the state of Delaware. Operations commenced on July 30, 2019, when an agreement was entered into in which a business combination occurred and created the wholly owned operating entities of Energy Carriers, LLC, Energy Distributors, LLC and Flash Market, LLC. As part of this business combination certain assets were contributed to TEG. In conjunction with the accounting for the business combination, the Company applied pushdown accounting in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (U.S. GAAP).

The Company and its subsidiaries operate a chain of convenience stores selling petroleum in the Southeastern United States, in the states of Alabama, Arkansas, Missouri, Mississippi, North Carolina, South Carolina and Tennessee and a petroleum distribution division that supplies petroleum to convenience stores and petroleum stations operated by independent outside operators in certain of the foregoing states. The Company has 110 combined company operated, 46 consignment and 145 dealer operated locations as of December 31, 2021.

Accounting Principles

The Company’s consolidated financial statements and accompanying consolidated notes are presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Intercompany balances and transactions are eliminated in consolidation.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires 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 consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Accordingly, actual results could differ from those estimates.

Revenue Recognition

Upon formation of the business, the Company assessed the impact of ASU No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606) by evaluating contracts, identifying performance obligations, determining when the performance obligations were satisfied to allow revenue recognition and determining the amount of revenue to recognize. Under ASC 606, revenue is to be recognized when control of promised goods or services is transferred to a customer in an amount that reflects the consideration expected to be received for those goods or services.

The Company recognizes revenue based on consideration received and/or specified in contracts or agreements with customers when it satisfies its performance obligations by transferring control over products or services to a customer.

Sales tax assessed by a governmental authority that are both imposed on and concurrent with a specific revenue-producing transaction, that are collected by the Company from a customer, are excluded from revenue. Fuel excise tax imposed by governmental authorities, and collected by the Company from customers, are included in revenue and cost of sales and totaled approximately $82,000,000 and $59,000,000 for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively.

Transit Energy Group, LLC and Subsidiaries

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - CONTINUED

December 31, 2021 and 2020

Vendor allowances include rebates and other funds received from vendors to promote their products. The Company often receives such allowances on the basis of quantitative contract terms that vary by product and vendor or directly on the basis of purchases made. Rebates are recognized as reductions of costs when products are sold; reimbursements of operating expenses are recorded as reductions of the related expense when earned.

The following is a description of principal activities from which the Company generates its revenue. Generally, goods or services are transferred to our customers at a point in time and any contracts entered into with customers are short-term in nature.

Retail Fuel

The Company sells diesel fuel and gasoline to customers at their convenience stores at prices that are established daily. Retail fuel revenue is recognized at the time the customer takes possession of the fuel, which is when the performance obligation is satisfied. Payment takes place at the time of purchase. In the normal course of business, the Company does not accept product returns.

Wholesale Fuel

The Company sells fuels in bulk quantities and by the truckload (over the rack) to wholesale customers at a fixed price determined at the date of a contract or at variable prices based on a market or index rate. Wholesale fuel revenue is recognized at the time of delivery of the products, depending on shipping terms and title transfer. Contracts with customers state the final terms of the sale, including the description, quantity, and price for goods sold. Payment is typically due in full within three to 40 days of delivery. There is only one performance obligation in each contract. In the normal course of business, the Company does not accept product returns.

Merchandise

The Company sells a variety of food, grocery and other merchandise products and services at stated retail prices in the convenience stores. Merchandise revenue is recognized at the time the customer takes possession of the merchandise, which is when the performance obligation is satisfied. Payment takes place at the time of purchase. In the normal course of business, the Company does not accept product returns.

Other

Other revenue includes freight revenue, ATM and money order fee income, and lottery income. For freight income, the Company recognizes revenue upon delivery to the dealer as all deliveries occur on the same day as shipment. For ATM fee income, the customer pays an ATM fee for withdrawing cash and revenue is recognized at that time. For money orders, the customer pays a money order fee when purchasing a money order and revenue is recognized at that time. Lottery income is recognized at the time of sale to the consumer and the Company collects a commission. Lottery, money order and ATM revenue are recognized net. Revenue is recognized at the time the service is provided, which is when the performance obligation is complete.

Cash

The Company maintains cash balances with financial institutions in the United States. The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) covers $250,000 for substantially all depository accounts. The Company from time to time may have amounts on deposit in excess of the insured limits.

Accounts Receivable

Transit Energy Group, LLC and Subsidiaries

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - CONTINUED

December 31, 2021 and 2020

The majority of accounts receivable are typically from dealers, vendors and credit card companies in the ordinary course of business. As such, the Company has not experienced significant write-offs for the years ended December 31, 2021 or 2020. The Company assesses its need for an allowance for potential losses in the collection of its receivables. The Company has a reserve of $693,297 and $500,000 for uncollectable receivables as of December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively. Receivables are typically due within 30 days and are stated as amounts due. Accounts that are outstanding longer than the payment terms are considered past due. The Company writes off receivable amounts after determination that the balances are uncollectible.

Inventories

Inventory is stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value. Inventory cost is determined using the average cost, net of vendor rebates, using the first-in, first-out (FIFO) basis, which approximates the actual cost of the inventory. The Company periodically reviews inventory for obsolescence and records a charge to cost of revenues for any amounts required to reduce the carrying value of inventories to net realizable value.

Concentration of Credit Risk

Financial instruments that subject us to credit risk consist principally of receivables. The Company maintains allowances for doubtful accounts which the Company believes are sufficient to provide for losses which may be sustained on realization of these receivables. For the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, no customers accounted for more than 10% of revenue or receivables.

The Company sources approximately 15% and 37.7% of its fuel from a single vendor for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively. Additionally, for the year end December 31, 2021, the Company sources an additional 56% of its fuel from four other fuel vendors, which all exceed 10% of fuel purchase volume.

Property and Equipment

Property and equipment are carried at cost or, if acquired through a business combination, at the fair value of the assets as of the acquisition date. Depreciation is recognized using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the related assets as follows:

Buildings and leasehold improvements 10 to 40 years
Vehicles 5 years
Fuel equipment 5 to 30 years
Convenience store equipment 5 to 15 years

Amortization of leasehold improvements is based upon the shorter of the remaining terms of the leases including renewal periods that are reasonably assured or the estimated useful lives. Expenditures for maintenance and repairs are charged directly to expense when incurred and major improvements are capitalized. Construction in progress is stated at cost, which includes the cost of construction and other direct costs attributable to the construction. No provision for depreciation is made on construction in progress until such time as the assets are completed and placed into use.

Goodwill

Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of the identifiable tangible and intangible assets of businesses acquired. Goodwill is tested at least annually for impairment by first comparing the fair value of a reporting unit with its carrying amount, including goodwill. If the fair value of the reporting unit exceeds its carrying amount, goodwill is not considered impaired. If the carrying amount of the reporting unit exceeds its fair value, the second step of the goodwill impairment test is performed to

Transit Energy Group, LLC and Subsidiaries

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - CONTINUED

December 31, 2021 and 2020

measure the amount of the impairment loss, if any. The second step of the goodwill impairment test compares the implied fair value of goodwill with the carrying amount of that goodwill. The implied fair value of goodwill is determined by performing an assumed purchase price allocation, using the reporting unit’s fair value (as determined in the first step) as the purchase price. If the carrying amount of goodwill exceeds the implied fair value, an impairment loss is recognized in an amount equal to that excess. The Company performed a quantitative assessment in testing goodwill for impairment for the year ended December 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, which resulted in no impairment.

Long-lived Assets

The Company reviews its long-lived assets, which include property and equipment and intangible assets, for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying amount of the asset may not be fully recoverable. Events or changes in circumstances are evaluated based on a number of factors including operating results, business plans and forecasts, general and industry trends, and economic projections and anticipated cash flows. Recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of the assets to the future net cash flows expected to be generated by the assets. If such assets are considered to be impaired, the impairment to be recognized is measured by the amount by which the carrying amount of the assets exceeds the fair value of those assets, typically determined by the undiscounted cash flows associated with those assets. These future cash flows are based on management’s projection of future financial results, including revenues, costs, working capital changes, and capital expenditures. Actual results may differ from those estimates. Based on management’s assessment, no impairment of long-lived assets exists for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020.

Environmental Remediation Liabilities

The Company accrues for environmental remediation liabilities when it is probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount of loss can be reasonably estimated. The Company had no environmental remediation liabilities as of December 31, 2021 and 2020.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The carrying value of cash, accounts receivable, other current assets, accounts payable, accrued expenses and other current liabilities approximate their fair values due to the relatively short maturity of the respective instruments. The carrying amount of the term loan, revolver and subordinated debt – related party approximates fair value due to interest charges based on variable market rates.

The Company utilizes valuation techniques that maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs to the extent possible. The Company determines fair value based on assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability in the principal or most advantageous market. When considering market participant assumptions in fair value measurements, the following fair value hierarchy distinguishes between observable and unobservable inputs, which are categorized in one of the following levels:

Level 1 - Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

Level 2 - Observable inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1, such as quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar assets and liabilities in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data.

Level 3 - Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities. This includes certain pricing models, discounted cash flow methodologies and similar techniques that use significant unobservable inputs. The excess of the purchase price for the Company’s business combination over the fair value of acquired net assets was allocated to goodwill and other intangible assets. The estimated

December 31, 2021 and 2020

fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed as discussed in Note C was determined utilizing Level 3 inputs.

Income Taxes

The Company is a limited liability company and is treated as a partnership for income tax purposes. Consequently, all the effects of the Company’s income or loss are passed through to the members. Accordingly, no provision or liability for income taxes has been included in the consolidated financial statements. Tax years ending after December 31, 2019 remain open and are subject to examination by the taxing authorities.

Management is not aware of any material uncertain tax positions as of December 31, 2021 and 2020. Any interest or penalties associated with an unrecognized tax expense would be classified as interest expense or other expense in the consolidated statements of operations.

Class B Members’ Interests Compensation Expense

The Company measures and recognizes compensation expense for members’ interests awards by expensing the fair value of each award at its grant date over the service period necessary for each award to vest. The Company accounts for forfeitures of members’ interests compensation awards as they occur.

Debt Financing Costs

Deferred financing costs are recorded as a contra-liability in long-term debt, net in the consolidated balance sheets. The deferred financing costs are amortized as interest expense over the life of the loan using the straight-line method, which approximates the effective interest method.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842) (ASU 2016-2). This update requires lessees to recognize most leases on their balance sheets as lease liabilities with corresponding right-of-use assets to give investors, lenders and other financial statement users a more comprehensive view of a company’s long-term financial obligations as well as the assets it owns versus leases. This distinction will affect how leases are measured and presented in the consolidated statement of operations and the consolidated statement of cash flows. This update is effective for annual periods ending after December 15, 2021, and for the interim periods beginning after December 15, 2022. Early adoption is permitted. This update permits adoption by use of either the retrospective or the modified retrospective methods. The Company will adopt this guidance effective January 1, 2022 (first day of fiscal 2022). The Company is currently evaluating the impact this guidance will have on our consolidated financial statements as well as the expected adoption method.

Debt

On March 27, 2020, the Company entered into a facility with BNP PARIBAS (BNP) for a combined amount of $150 million of which $50 million was available after meeting certain compliance provisions stated in the agreement. This facility had an original maturity date of September 2023. On September 28, 2020, the Company executed a revised and amended credit agreement with BNP that included a $24.5 million capital injection from Energy Capital Partners (majority shareholder), which was used to partially pay down the balance owed on the credit facility. The remaining BNP loan balance of $35.6 million was structured as interest-only term debt maturing on March 28, 2021. As part of the various BNP credit facilities, the Company incurred $4,316,202 in deferred financing costs in which a majority of these costs related to the initial agreement and were subsequently written off during the year. The interest rate on this term note was variable based on an index rate of LIBOR plus an applicable margin. There were no financial covenants on this term note.

As of December 31, 2020, the Company had $26.5 million of subordinated debt owed to Energy Capital Partners. This balance consisted of the $24.5 million capital injection on September 28th, plus an additional

$1.5 million on December 14, 2020, plus capitalized interest. The promissory note underlying this debt agreement had an original maturity date of December 31, 2024, and bears interest at a rate of 8% per annum. The interest was “payable-in-kind” monthly and added to the principal balance. On March 12, 2021, coincident with the closing of the JPM Facility, the subordinated debt was forgiven and converted to members’ equity.

On March 12, 2021, the Company entered into a new syndicated senior credit facility with JP Morgan Chase Bank (the Facility) as lead arranger, which provided the Company with capital to pay off the BNP facility and fund future acquisitions. The Facility includes a term loan (the Term Loan) totaling $50 million with a maturity date of March 2026, and a revolving line of credit (the Revolver) with maximum borrowing of $15 million, also maturing in March 2026. Additionally, the Company has the ability to add up to $20 million to its term loan and exercised its ability in October and November 2021 to withdrawal an additional

Transit Energy Group, LLC and Subsidiaries

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - CONTINUED

December 31, 2021 and 2020

$20 million. This delayed draw has the same terms as the Term Loan. The Facility is secured by mortgages on certain parcels of real property owned by the Company. Additionally, the Revolver is secured by a borrowing base of eligible accounts receivable and inventories. The interest rate on the Term Loan and Revolver is variable based on an index rate of LIBOR plus an applicable margin. The Facility contains certain debt covenants (measured quarterly) that define maximum total leverage ratio and minimum fixed charge coverage ratio. The Company is in compliance with all covenants.

The Company capitalized $3,933,308 in costs related to its debt financing with JP Morgan Chase. Fees and costs classified as debt issuance costs relate to costs incurred to obtain long-term financing. Accumulated amortization attributable to debt issuance costs associated with JP Morgan Chase Bank totaled $461,725 as of December 31, 2021.

NOTE G - ASSET RETIREMENT OBLIGATIONS

The Company recognizes the estimated future cost to dispose of underground storage tanks over the estimated useful life of the storage tank in accordance with authoritative guidance. The Company records a discounted liability for the fair value of an asset retirement obligation with a corresponding increase in the carrying value of the related long-lived asset at the time an underground storage tank is installed. The Company amortizes the amount added to the property and equipment and recognizes accretion expense in connection with the discounted liability over the remaining life of the respective underground storage tanks.

The estimated liability is based on the historical experience in disposing of the tanks, estimated tank useful lives, external estimates as to the cost to dispose of the tanks in the future, and federal and state regulatory requirements. The liability is discounted using a credit adjusted risk-free rate of 5%. Revisions to the liability and the related long-lived asset could occur due to changes in tank disposal costs, tank useful lives, or if federal and state regulators enact new guidance on the removal of such tanks. The liability is included in long-term accrued liabilities.

Fuel Vendor Agreements

The Company enters into fuel supply contracts with various major fuel suppliers. These fuel supply contracts have expiration dates at various times through 2031. In connection with certain of these fuel supply and related incentive agreements, the Company received upfront payments for rebranding costs and other incentives. If the Company defaults under the terms of any contract, including not purchasing committed fuel purchase volume, or terminates any supply agreement prior to the end of the applicable term, the Company must reimburse the respective fuel supplier for the unearned unamortized portion of the payments received to date, based on the amortization schedule outlined in each respective agreement. The payments are amortized and recognized as a reduction to fuel cost using the straight-line method based on the term of each agreement or based on fuel volume purchased. The amount of the unamortized liability was approximately $6.0 million and $6.1 million as of December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively, which was recorded in deferred revenue on the consolidated balance sheets. The Company has $1.8 million and $2.3 million in receivables related to vendor agreements, which was recorded in other current assets as of December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively included in other current assets on the consolidated balance sheets.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

September 30, 2022

NOTE A - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Description of a Business and Basis of Presentation

The inception of Transit Energy Group, LLC (TEG or Company) was on May 1, 2019 and incorporated in the state of Delaware. Operations commenced on July 30, 2019, when an agreement was entered into in which a business combination occurred and created the wholly owned operating entities of Energy Carriers, LLC, Energy Distributors, LLC and Flash Market, LLC. As part of this business combination certain assets were contributed to TEG. In conjunction with the accounting for the business combination, the Company applied pushdown accounting in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (U.S. GAAP).

The Company and its subsidiaries operate a chain of convenience stores selling petroleum in the Southeastern United States, in the states of Alabama, Arkansas, Missouri, Mississippi, North Carolina, South Carolina and Tennessee and a petroleum distribution division that supplies petroleum to convenience stores and petroleum stations operated by independent outside operators in certain of the foregoing states. The Company has approximately 150 combined company operated, 47 consignment and 146 dealer operated locations as of September 30, 2022.

Accounting Principles

The Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying condensed consolidated notes are presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Intercompany balances and transactions are eliminated in consolidation. The condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes of the Company for the year ended December 31, 2021.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires 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 consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Accordingly, actual results could differ from those estimates.

Revenue Recognition

Under ASU No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606), revenue is to be recognized when control of promised goods or services is transferred to a customer in an amount that reflects the consideration expected to be received for those goods or services.

The Company recognizes revenue based on consideration received and/or specified in contracts or agreements with customers when it satisfies its performance obligations by transferring control over products or services to a customer.

Sales tax assessed by a governmental authority that are both imposed on and concurrent with a specific revenue-producing transaction, that are collected by the Company from a customer, are excluded from revenue. Fuel excise tax imposed by governmental authorities, and collected by the Company from customers, are included in revenue and cost of sales and totaled approximately $127,000,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2022.

Vendor allowances include rebates and other funds received from vendors to promote their products. The Company often receives such allowances on the basis of quantitative contract terms that vary by product and vendor or directly on the basis of purchases made. Rebates are recognized as reductions of costs when products are sold; reimbursements of operating expenses are recorded as reductions of the related expense when earned.

The following is a description of principal activities from which the Company generates its revenue. Generally, goods or services are transferred to our customers at a point in time and any contracts entered into with customers are short-term in nature.

Retail Fuel

The Company sells diesel fuel and gasoline to customers at their convenience stores at prices that are established daily. Retail fuel revenue is recognized at the time the customer takes possession of the fuel, which is when the performance obligation is satisfied. Payment takes place at the time of purchase. In the normal course of business, the Company does not accept product returns.

Wholesale Fuel

The Company sells fuels in bulk quantities and by the truckload (over the rack) to wholesale customers at a fixed price determined at the date of a contract or at variable prices based on a market or index rate. Wholesale fuel revenue is recognized at the time of delivery of the products, depending on shipping terms and title transfer. Contracts with customers state the final terms of the sale, including the description, quantity, and price for goods sold. Payment is typically due in full within three to 40 days of delivery. There is only one performance obligation in each contract. In the normal course of business, the Company does not accept product returns.

Merchandise

The Company sells a variety of food, grocery and other merchandise products and services at stated retail prices in the convenience stores. Merchandise revenue is recognized at the time the customer takes possession of the merchandise, which is when the performance obligation is satisfied. Payment takes place at the time of purchase. In the normal course of business, the Company does not accept product returns.

Other

Other revenue includes freight revenue, ATM and money order fee income, and lottery income. For freight income, the Company recognizes revenue upon delivery to the dealer as all deliveries occur on the same day as shipment. For ATM fee income, the customer pays an ATM fee for withdrawing cash and revenue is recognized at that time. For money orders, the customer pays a money order fee when purchasing a money order and revenue is recognized at that time. Lottery income is recognized at the time of sale to the consumer and the Company collects a commission. Lottery, money order and ATM revenue are recognized net. Revenue is recognized at the time the service is provided, which is when the performance obligation is complete.

Cash

The Company maintains cash balances with financial institutions in the United States. The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) covers $250,000 for substantially all depository accounts. The Company from time to time may have amounts on deposit in excess of the insured limits.

Accounts Receivable

The majority of accounts receivable are typically from dealers, vendors and credit card companies in the ordinary course of business. As such, the Company has not experienced significant write-offs for the nine months ended September 30, 2022. The Company assesses its need for an allowance for potential losses in the collection of its receivables. The Company has a reserve of $750,000 for uncollectable receivables as of September 30, 2022. Receivables are typically due within 30 days and are stated as amounts due.

Accounts that are outstanding longer than the payment terms are considered past due. The Company writes off receivable amounts after determination that the balances are uncollectible.

Inventories

Inventory is stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value. Inventory cost is determined using the average cost, net of vendor rebates, using the first-in, first-out (FIFO) basis, which approximates the actual cost of the inventory. The Company periodically reviews inventory for obsolescence and records a charge to cost of revenues for any amounts required to reduce the carrying value of inventories to net realizable value.

Concentration of Credit Risk

Financial instruments that subject us to credit risk consist principally of receivables. The Company maintains allowances for doubtful accounts which the Company believes are sufficient to provide for losses which may be sustained on realization of these receivables. For the nine months ended September 30, 2022, no customers accounted for more than 10% of revenue or receivables.

The Company sources approximately 20% of its fuel from a single vendor for the nine months ended September 30, 2022. Additionally, for the nine months ended September 30, 2022, the Company sources an additional 50% of its fuel from five other fuel vendors, which all exceed 10% of fuel purchase volume.

Property and Equipment

Property and equipment are carried at cost or, if acquired through a business combination, at the fair value of the assets as of the acquisition date. Depreciation is recognized using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the related assets as follows:

Buildings and leasehold improvements 10 to 40 years
Vehicles 5 years
Fuel equipment 5 to 30 years
Convenience store equipment 5 to 15 years

Amortization of leasehold improvements is based upon the shorter of the remaining terms of the leases including renewal periods that are reasonably assured or the estimated useful lives. Expenditures for maintenance and repairs are charged directly to expense when incurred and major improvements are capitalized. Construction in progress is stated at cost, which includes the cost of construction and other direct costs attributable to the construction. No provision for depreciation is made on construction in progress until such time as the assets are completed and placed into use.

Goodwill

Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of the identifiable tangible and intangible assets of businesses acquired. Goodwill is tested at least annually for impairment by first comparing the fair value of a reporting unit with its carrying amount, including goodwill. If the fair value of the reporting unit exceeds its carrying amount, goodwill is not considered impaired. If the carrying amount of the reporting unit exceeds its fair value, the second step of the goodwill impairment test is performed to measure the amount of the impairment loss, if any. The second step of the goodwill impairment test compares the implied fair value of goodwill with the carrying amount of that goodwill. The implied fair value of goodwill is determined by performing an assumed purchase price allocation, using the reporting unit’s fair value (as determined in the first step) as the purchase price. If the carrying amount of goodwill exceeds the implied fair value, an impairment loss is recognized in an amount equal to that excess. The Company did not perform a quantitative assessment in testing goodwill for impairment in the nine months ended September 30, 2022.

Long-lived Assets

The Company reviews its long-lived assets, which include property and equipment and intangible assets, for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying amount of the asset may not be fully recoverable. Events or changes in circumstances are evaluated based on a number of factors including operating results, business plans and forecasts, general and industry trends, and economic projections and anticipated cash flows. Recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of the assets to the future net cash flows expected to be generated by the assets. If such assets are considered to be impaired, the impairment to be recognized is measured by the amount by which the carrying amount of the assets exceeds the fair value of those assets, typically determined by the undiscounted cash flows associated with those assets. These future cash flows are based on management’s projection of future financial results, including revenues, costs, working capital changes, and capital expenditures. Actual results may differ from those estimates. Based on management’s assessment, no impairment of long-lived assets exists for the nine months ended September 30, 2022.

Environmental Remediation Liabilities

The Company accrues for environmental remediation liabilities when it is probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount of loss can be reasonably estimated. The Company had no environmental remediation liabilities as of September 30, 2022.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The carrying value of cash, accounts receivable, other current assets, accounts payable, accrued expenses and other current liabilities approximate their fair values due to the relatively short maturity of the respective instruments. The carrying amount of the term loan, revolver and subordinated debt – related party approximates fair value due to interest charges based on variable market rates.

The Company utilizes valuation techniques that maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs to the extent possible. The Company determines fair value based on assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability in the principal or most advantageous market. When considering market participant assumptions in fair value measurements, the following fair value hierarchy distinguishes between observable and unobservable inputs, which are categorized in one of the following levels:

Level 1 - Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

Level 2 - Observable inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1, such as quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar assets and liabilities in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data.

Level 3 - Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities. This includes certain pricing models, discounted cash flow methodologies and similar techniques that use significant unobservable inputs. The excess of the purchase price for the Company’s business combination over the fair value of acquired net assets was allocated to goodwill and other intangible assets. The estimated fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed as discussed in Note B was determined utilizing Level 3 inputs.

Income Taxes

The Company is a limited liability company and is treated as a partnership for income tax purposes. Consequently, all the effects of the Company’s income or loss are passed through to the members. Accordingly, no provision or liability for income taxes has been included in the consolidated financial statements. Tax years ending after December 31, 2019 remain open and are subject to examination by the taxing authorities.

Management is not aware of any material uncertain tax positions as of September 30, 2022. Any interest or penalties associated with an unrecognized tax expense would be classified as interest expense or other expense in the consolidated statements of operations.

Class B Members’ Interests Compensation Expense

The Company measures and recognizes compensation expense for members’ interests awards by expensing the fair value of each award at its grant date over the service period necessary for each award to vest. The Company accounts for forfeitures of members’ interests compensation awards as they occur.

Debt Financing Costs

Deferred financing costs are recorded as a contra-liability in long-term debt, net in the condensed consolidated balance sheet. The deferred financing costs are amortized as interest expense over the life of the loan using the straight-line method, which approximates the effective interest method.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842) (ASU 2016-2). This update requires lessees to recognize most leases on their balance sheets as lease liabilities with corresponding right-of-use assets to give investors, lenders and other financial statement users a more comprehensive view of a company’s long-term financial obligations as well as the assets it owns versus leases. This distinction will affect how leases are measured and presented in the consolidated statement of operations and the consolidated statement of cash flows. This update is effective for annual periods ending after December 15, 2021, and for the interim periods beginning after December 15, 2022. Early adoption is permitted. This update permits adoption by use of either the retrospective or the modified retrospective methods. The Company has not adopted this guidance as of September 30, 2022. The Company is currently evaluating the impact this guidance will have on its consolidated financial statements as well as the expected adoption method.

NOTE G - ASSET RETIREMENT OBLIGATIONS

The Company recognizes the estimated future cost to dispose of underground storage tanks over the estimated useful life of the storage tank in accordance with authoritative guidance. The Company records a discounted liability for the fair value of an asset retirement obligation with a corresponding increase in the carrying value of the related long-lived asset at the time an underground storage tank is installed. The Company amortizes the amount added to the property and equipment and recognizes accretion expense in connection with the discounted liability over the remaining life of the respective underground storage tanks.

The estimated liability is based on the historical experience in disposing of the tanks, estimated tank useful lives, external estimates as to the cost to dispose of the tanks in the future, and federal and state regulatory requirements. The liability is discounted using a credit adjusted risk-free rate of 5%. Revisions to the liability and the related long-lived asset could occur due to changes in tank disposal costs, tank useful lives, or if federal and state regulators enact new guidance on the removal of such tanks.

Balance at December 31, 2021 $ 9,568,844

Fuel Vendor Agreements

The Company enters into fuel supply contracts with various major fuel suppliers. These fuel supply contracts have expiration dates at various times through 2031. In connection with certain of these fuel supply and related incentive agreements, the Company received upfront payments for rebranding costs and other incentives. If the Company defaults under the terms of any contract, including not purchasing committed fuel purchase volume, or terminates any supply agreement prior to the end of the applicable term, the Company must reimburse the respective fuel supplier for the unearned unamortized portion of the payments received to date, based on the amortization schedule outlined in each respective agreement. The payments are amortized and recognized as a reduction to fuel cost using the straight-line method based on the term of each agreement or based on fuel volume purchased. The amount of the unamortized liability was approximately $5,200,000 as of September 30, 2022, which was recorded in deferred revenue on the consolidated balance sheet. The Company had approximately $1,200,000 in receivables related to vendor agreements, which was recorded in other current assets on the condensed consolidated balance sheet as of September 30, 2022.

Legal Proceedings

UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

On March 1, 2023 (the “Closing Date”), GPM Investments, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“GPM”) and a subsidiary of ARKO Corp., a Delaware corporation (the “Company” or “ARKO”) and certain of GPM’s subsidiaries, including GPM Petroleum, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, completed their acquisition of the assets and certain liabilities of Transit Energy Group, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, and certain of its affiliated entities (collectively “TEG”) pursuant to the Asset Purchase Agreement entered into by and between Buyer and Seller on September 9, 2022, as amended (the “Purchase Agreement” and such acquisition, together with the other related transactions contemplated by the Purchase Agreement, the “TEG Acquisition”).

The accompanying unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements (the “pro forma financial statements”) have been prepared to reflect the effects of the TEG Acquisition on the consolidated financial statements of the Company as follows: (i) the unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet (the “pro forma balance sheet”) is presented as if the TEG Acquisition had occurred on September 30, 2022; and (ii) the unaudited pro forma condensed combined statements of operations (the “pro forma statements of operations”) for the year ended December 31, 2021 and the nine months ended September 30, 2022 are presented as if the TEG Acquisition had occurred on January 1, 2021. The historical financial statements have been adjusted to reflect factually supportable items that are directly attributable to the TEG Acquisition and, with respect to the statements of operations only, that are expected to have a continuing impact on the combined results. The pro forma adjustments have been prepared based on assumptions that the Company believes are reasonable, but that are subject to change once additional information becomes available and the preliminary purchase price allocation for the TEG Acquisition is finalized.

The pro forma financial statements have been prepared using the acquisition method of accounting in Accounting Standards Codification 805, Business Combinations (“ASC 805”), with the Company treated as the acquirer. The acquisition method of accounting is dependent upon certain valuations that have yet to progress to a stage at which there is sufficient information for definitive measures. Accordingly, the pro forma adjustments are preliminary, have been made solely for the purpose of providing pro forma financial statements in accordance with the requirements of the Securities and Exchange Commission, and are subject to revision based on a final determination of fair value as of the date of the TEG Acquisition. Differences between these preliminary estimates and the final acquisition accounting may be material; therefore, the pro forma financial statements presented below is not necessarily indicative of what the combined company’s financial condition or results of operations would have been had the TEG Acquisition been completed on the applicable dates of these pro forma financial statements. In addition, the pro forma financial statements do not purport to project the future financial condition and results of operations of the combined company.

The pro forma financial statements should be read in conjunction with:

• The accompanying notes to the pro forma financial statements;

• The audited consolidated financial statements of the Company contained in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021 and the accompanying notes thereto;

• The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company contained in its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September 30, 2022 and the accompanying notes thereto;

• Historical audited consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2021, which consist of the audited consolidated financial statements of Transit Energy Group, LLC and Subsidiaries and the accompanying notes thereto, which are included as Exhibit 99.1 to the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K/A with which these pro forma financial statements are filed; and

• Historical interim unaudited consolidated financial statements as of and for the nine months ended September 30, 2022, which consist of the unaudited consolidated financial statements of Transit Energy Group, LLC and Subsidiaries and the accompanying notes thereto, which are included as Exhibit 99.2 to the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K/A with which these pro forma financial statements are filed.

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements included herein does not give effect to any potential cost reductions or other operating efficiencies that could result from the TEG Acquisition.

Notes to Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Financial Statements

  1. Basis of Presentation

The pro forma financial statements have been prepared to reflect the effects of the TEG Acquisition on the financial statements of the Company. The pro forma balance sheet is presented as if the TEG Acquisition had occurred on September 30, 2022. The pro forma statements of operations for the year ended December 31, 2021, and the nine months ended September 30, 2022, are presented as if the TEG Acquisition had occurred on January 1, 2021. The historical consolidated financial statements have been adjusted to reflect factually supportable items that are directly attributable to the TEG Acquisition and, with respect to the statements of operations only, that are expected to have a continuing impact on the combined results.

The pro forma financial statements have been prepared using the acquisition method of accounting in ASC 805, Business Combinations, with the Company treated as the acquirer. The acquisition method of accounting is dependent upon certain valuations and other studies that have yet to progress to a stage where there is sufficient information for definitive measures. Accordingly, the pro forma adjustments are preliminary, have been made solely for the purpose of providing pro forma financial statements in accordance with the requirements of the Securities and Exchange Commission, and are subject to revision based on a final determination of fair value as of the date of acquisition. Differences between these preliminary estimates and the final acquisition accounting may be material; therefore, the pro forma financial statements presented below are not necessarily indicative of what the combined company’s financial condition or results of operations would have been had the TEG Acquisition been completed on the applicable dates of these pro forma financial statements. In addition, the pro forma financial statements do not purport to project the future financial condition and results of operations of the combined company.

  1. Estimated Consideration and Preliminary Purchase Price Allocation

The purchase price for the TEG Acquisition was approximately $370 million, as adjusted in accordance with the terms of the Purchase Agreement, plus the value of inventory at the Closing Date, of which $50 million was deferred and payable in two annual payments of $25 million, which the Company may elect to pay either in cash or, subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions, shares of ARKO’s common stock, $0.0001 par value per share, on the first and second anniversaries of the Closing Date. The Company paid approximately $81 million of the non-deferred purchase price including the value of inventory and other closing adjustments, of which approximately $55.0 million was financed with borrowings under GPM Petroleum LP’s revolving credit facility with a syndicate of banks led by Capital One, National Association (the “GPMP Capital One Line of Credit”). An affiliate of Oak Street Real Estate Capital Net Property Fund, LP (“Oak Street”), under the Company’s standby real estate purchase, designation and lease program agreement with Oak Street, dated as of May 3, 2021 (as amended, the “Program Agreement”), paid the balance of the non-deferred purchase price for fee simple ownership in 104 sites. At the Closing Date, pursuant to the Program Agreement, the Company entered into a master lease with Oak Street for the sites Oak Street acquired in the transaction under customary lease terms.

The Company has performed a preliminary valuation of the fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed. The following table summarizes the preliminary allocation of the purchase price of the TEG Acquisition:

Amount
(in thousands)
Fair value of consideration transferred:
Cash $ 25,702
GPMP Capital One Line of Credit 55,000
Liability resulting from deferred purchase price 45,845
Payable to TEG 500
Consideration provided by Oak Street 258,019
Total consideration $ 385,066
Assets acquired and liabilities:
Cash and cash equivalents $ 379
Inventory 20,144
Other assets 930
Property and equipment, net 336,838
Intangible assets 35,000
Right-of-use assets under operating leases 58,141
Environmental receivables 108
Total assets 451,540
Other liabilities (1,611 )
Environmental liabilities (219 )
Asset retirement obligation (7,098 )
Operating leases (57,546 )
Total liabilities (66,474 )
Total identifiable net assets 385,066
Goodwill $

The initial accounting treatment of the TEG Acquisition reflected in these pro forma financial statements is provisional as the Company has not yet finalized the initial accounting treatment of the business combination, and in this regard, has not finalized the valuation of some of the assets and liabilities acquired and the goodwill resulting from the TEG Acquisition, mainly due to the limited period of time between the Closing Date and the date of these pro forma financial statements. Therefore, some of the financial information presented with respect to the TEG Acquisition in these pro forma financial statements remains subject to change.

  1. Pro Forma Adjustments and Assumptions

The pro forma adjustments are based on currently available information and certain assumptions that the Company believes are reasonable. The actual effects of the TEG Acquisition may differ materially from the pro forma adjustments included herein. However, management believes that the assumptions used to prepare the pro forma adjustments provide a reasonable basis for presenting the significant effects of the TEG Acquisition and that the pro forma adjustments are factually supportable, give appropriate effect to the expected impact of events that are directly attributable to the TEG Acquisition, and reflect those items expected to have a continuing impact on the Company. The pro forma financial statements may not be indicative of the results that actually would have occurred if the Company had completed the TEG Acquisition on the dates indicated or that could be achieved in the future.

The following pro forma adjustments, as applicable, are included in the pro forma financial statements:

(a) Reflects the adjustment of the historical carrying amount of TEG’s assets acquired and liabilities assumed as of September 30, 2022 to the preliminary estimated fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed as of the Closing Date.

(b) Reflects the recognition of the preliminary purchase price, including cash consideration paid of $384.5 million, net of $258.0 million proceeds from Oak Street treated as a sale-leaseback for accounting purposes and deferred consideration of $50.0 million, discounted to $45.8 million on the Closing Date.

(c) Certain adjustments that are directly related to the TEG Acquisition were made to debt and debt related accounts. The adjustments were as follows:

1. A $55.0 million increase to long-term debt which reflects the draw from the GPMP Capital One Line of Credit.

2. The elimination of TEG’s indebtedness of $135.0 million, which was not assumed by the Company.

3. Elimination of historical interest expense and recording of the interest expense associated with the new debt as discussed in Note 2 to these pro forma financial statements. The following table summarizes the change in estimated interest expense:

Nine Months Ended September 30, 2022 Year Ended <br>December 31, 2021
(in thousands)
Estimated interest expense $ 1,584 $ 1,830
Less historical interest expense (4,219 ) (2,392 )
Total $ (2,635 ) $ (562 )

(d) Reflects incremental amount of estimated transaction costs incurred or to be incurred related to the TEG Acquisition that are not already reflected in the historical financial statements. The transaction costs have been recorded in the pro forma statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2021 as the costs would have been incurred shortly after the transaction and are one-time in nature.

(e) Reflects the reduction of compensation expense for former management personnel of TEG who were not retained by the Company at the Closing Date.

(f) The following table summarizes the change in preliminary estimated depreciation expense:

Nine Months Ended September 30, 2022 Year Ended <br>December 31, 2021
(in thousands)
Estimated depreciation expense $ 8,128 $ 10,837
Less historical depreciation expense (6,950 ) (7,238 )
Total $ 1,178 $ 3,599

(g) The useful life of both the wholesale fuel supply contracts and the brand name acquired was estimated at five years. The following table summarizes the change in preliminary estimated amortization expense:

Nine Months Ended September 30, 2022 Year Ended <br>December 31, 2021
(in thousands)
Estimated amortization expense $ 5,250 $ 7,000
Less historical amortization expense (1,561 ) (1,847 )
Total $ 3,689 $ 5,153

(h) For accounting purposes, the transaction with Oak Street was treated as a sale-leaseback. Because the sale-leaseback was off-market, a financial liability of $51.6 million was recorded, resulting in interest expense recognized over the lease term. Additionally, the right-of-use assets and operating lease liabilities of approximately $131.3 million were recorded in connection with the operating lease, after reducing for accounting purposes from the contractual lease payments the amount attributable to the repayment of the additional financing. In addition, reflects the establishment of $58.1 million of right-of-use assets and $57.5 million of operating lease liabilities for assumed existing leases with certain other third-parties. The following table summarizes the change in the estimated lease expense:

Nine Months Ended September 30, 2022 Year Ended <br>December 31, 2021
(in thousands)
Estimated lease expense $ 13,996 $ 10,519
Less historical lease expense (5,710 ) (4,546 )
Total $ 8,286 $ 5,973

(i) Reflects the discounted amount due for the deferred purchase price and the related increase in interest expense associated with it.

(j) The pro forma income tax adjustments included in the pro forma statement of operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and for the year ended December 31, 2021 reflect the income tax effects of TEG historical income before taxes and the pro forma adjustments presented. The tax rate applied was 25%.

(k) Reflects adjustments to conform the TEG’s historical financial statement presentation to the Company’s financial statement presentation.

(l) Reflects the elimination of the historical equity balance of TEG.
