NOTE
On September 9, 2021, Brownie’s Marine Group, Inc., a Florida corporation (the “Company”), filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), a Current Report on Form 8-K (the “Form 8-K”) to report the acquisition by the Company of Submersible Systems, Inc., a Florida corporation (formerly Submersible Systems, LLC prior to converting to a Florida corporation as of August 31, 2021), and related matters. This Amendment No. 1 on Form 8-K/A is being filed by the Company to amend and restate the original Form 8-K in its entirety, and to supplement the original Form 8-K to include the financial statements and pro forma information required by Item 9.01.
| Item 1.01 | Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement. |
|---|
On September 3, 2021, Brownie’s Marine Group, Inc., a Florida corporation (the “Company”), entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger and Reorganization (the “Merger Agreement”) with Submersible Acquisition, Inc., a Florida corporation and wholly owned subsidiary of the Company (“Acquisition Sub”), Submersible Systems, Inc., a Florida corporation (“Submersible”), and Summit Holdings V, LLC, a Florida limited liability company (“Summit”) and Tierra Vista Group, LLC, a Florida limited liability company (“Tierra Vista” and, together with Summit, the “Sellers”), the owners of all of the capital stock of Submersible (the “Submersible Shares”), pursuant to which Acquisition Sub merged with and into Submersible (the “Merger”), and Submersible, the surviving corporation, became a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company. The Merger became effective upon the filing of Articles of Merger with the Secretary of State of the State of Florida on September 3, 2021.
Pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Merger Agreement, the Company acquired all of the Submersible Shares from the Sellers for an aggregate purchase price of $1,750,000 (the “Merger Consideration”), which was paid to the Sellers at closing (the “Closing”): (a) by issuance to the Sellers of 8% convertible promissory notes in the aggregate principal amount of $350,000 (the “Notes”), and (b) by issuance to the Sellers of an aggregate of 27,305,442 shares (the “ Merger Shares”) of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (“Common Stock”), calculated at a price of approximately $0.05127 per share (the “Conversion Rate”).
The Merger Shares received by the Sellers are subject to a leak-out restriction commencing on the date of issuance, as follows: (i) up to 12.5% may be sold after 6 months; (ii) up to 25% may be sold after 9 months; (iii) up to 75% may be sold after 24 months; and (iv) up to 100% may be sold after 36 months. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the leak-out restriction may be waived by the Company under certain conditions.
The Sellers were granted “piggyback” registration rights with respect to the Merger Shares and the shares of Common Stock that may be received upon their conversion of the Notes.
The Notes have a maturity date of September 3, 2024, and bear interest at a rate of 8% per annum. Interest shall be paid at the end of each 3-month period commencing on September 30, 2021, in shares of Common Stock of the Company, calculated based on the amount due on said date divided by the Conversion Rate. The Company has the right to prepay amounts due under the Notes in whole or in part at any time without penalty or premium. Within 30 days after the end of each quarter, commencing on the first full quarter after the Closing, the Company shall pay, as a reduction of the principal amount of the Notes, in cash, payments equal to 50% of Submersible’s Operating Income. For the purposes of the Notes, Operating Income shall be defined as the net income of Submersible before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (but expressly excluding any overhead cost allocation applied to Submersible by the Company). The final payment will be a balloon payment of the balance due upon the end of the term of the Notes. The holders of Notes have the right to convert the Notes, in whole or in part, at any time, within the 36-month term into shares of Common Stock at the Conversion Rate.
In connection with the Merger, Rick Kearney, Submersible’s founder, entered into a five-year confidentiality, non-competition and non-solicitation agreement with the Company (the “Non-Compete Agreement”).
The foregoing descriptions of the Notes, the Merger Agreement and the Non-Compete Agreement are not complete and are qualified in their entirety by reference to the full text of such documents, copies of which are attached hereto as Exhibits 4.1, 10.1 and 10.2, respectively, and incorporated herein by reference.
| Item 2.01 | Completion of Acquisition or Disposition of Assets. |

Reference is made to the disclosure set forth under Item 1.01 above, which disclosure is incorporated herein by reference.
On September 3, 2021, the Company consummated the acquisition of Submersible, which designs, tests, manufactures, distributes and sells scuba, diving and rescue equipment., As a result of the Merger, Submersible became a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company.
| Item 2.03 | Creation of a Direct Financial Obligation or an Obligation under an Off-Balance Sheet Arrangement of a Registrant. |

Reference is made to the disclosure set forth under Items 1.01 and 2.01 above, which disclosure is incorporated herein by reference.

The issuances of the Notes and Merger Shares were exempt from registration under Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), as transactions by an issuer not involving any public offering. At the time of their issuance, the Notes and the Merger Shares were deemed to be restricted securities for purpose of the Securities Act and will bear restrictive legends to that effect.
| Item 7.01 | Regulation FD Disclosure. |

REPORTOF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Board of Directors and Shareholders of
Submersible Systems, Inc.
(formerly known as Submersible System, LLC)
Opinionon the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of Submersible Systems, LLC (the Company) as of December 31, 2020 and 2019, and the related statements of operations, changes in members’ equity, and cash flows for each of the years in the two-year period ended December 31, 2020, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the financial statements). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2020 and 2019, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the years in the two-year period ended December 31, 2020, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Basisfor Opinion
These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits, we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.
Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
CriticalAudit Matters
The critical audit matters communicated below are matters arising from the current period audit of the financial statements that were communicated or required to be communicated to the audit committee and that: (1) relate to accounts or disclosures that are material to the financial statements and (2) involved our especially challenging, subjective, or complex judgments. The communication of critical audit matters does not alter in any way our opinion on the financial statements, taken as a whole, and we are not, by communicating the critical audit matters below, providing separate opinions on the critical audit matters or on the accounts or disclosures to which they relate.
Valuationof inventories
As described in Note 2, the Company values inventory at the lower of cost (determined using the first-in first-out method) or net realizable value. Management’s judgment is required to determine the reserve for obsolete or excess inventory. Inventory on hand may exceed future demand either because the product is outdated or because the amount on hand is more than will be used to meet future needs. Inventory reserves are estimated by using standard quantitative measures based on criteria established by the Company. Though the Company considers these reserve balances to be adequate, changes in economic conditions, customer inventory levels or competitive conditions could have a favorable or unfavorable effect on required reserve balances.
Auditing management’s estimates for the reserve for obsolete or excess inventory was highly judgmental due to the degree of subjectivity involved in assessing the future’s needs, changes in economic conditions, customer inventory levels or competitive conditions.
To test the management’s estimate for reserves, we performed audit procedures that included, among others, evaluating management’s forecast of inventory usage based on historical results, evaluated the Company’s determination of reserves and inquired with the personnel responsible for inventories to evaluate the reasonableness of the forecast of product demands.

The accompanying notes are an integral part of these audited financial statements
Note 1. Company Overview
Located in Huntington Beach, California, Submersible Systems, LLC (the “Company”) was incorporated as Submersible Systems, Inc. in the State of California in 1979. The Company was acquired in 2015 by Summit Acquisition, LLC and changed its name to Submersible Systems, LLC, and re-organized under the laws of the State of Florida. The primary focus of the Company is manufacturing, assembling and selling life-saving breathing systems worldwide under brand names including SpareAir, HEED, and Easy Dive.
Note 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Basisof Presentation:
The accompanying financial statements of the Company were prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”).
Useof Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with 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 financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Significant estimates include estimates of useful life of property, equipment and leasehold improvements, allowance for doubtful accounts, and inventory reserves.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
For financial reporting purposes, the Company considers all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.
Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentration of credit risk consist principally of cash deposits. Accounts at each institution are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) up to $250,000. At December 31, 2020 and 2019, the Company had $159,236 and $104,060 in excess of the FDIC insured limit, respectively.
Accounts Receivable
Accounts receivable consist of amounts due from the sale of the Company’s products to wholesale and retail customers. The allowance for doubtful accounts are estimates that are developed by using standard quantitative measures based on historical losses, adjusting for current economic conditions and, in some cases, evaluating specific customer accounts for risk of loss. The establishment of reserves requires the use of judgment and assumptions regarding the potential for losses on receivable balances. Though the Company considers these balances adequate and proper, changes in economic conditions in specific markets in which the Company operates and any specific customer collection issues the Company identifies could have a favorable or unfavorable effect on required reserve balances. As of December 31, 2020 and 2019, the Company did not record an allowance for doubtful accounts.
As of December 31, 2020, the Company had three accounts that individually comprised over 10% of outstanding accounts receivable and in the aggregate comprised 50.1% of outstanding accounts receivable. Additionally, the Company had one customer that comprised 10.3% of revenue for the year ended December 31, 2020.
As of December 31, 2019, the Company had four accounts that individually comprised over 10% of outstanding accounts receivable and in the aggregate comprised 57.8% of outstanding accounts receivable. Additionally, the Company had no customers that comprised in excess of 10% of revenue for the year ended December 31, 2019.
Inventory
The Company values inventory at the lower of cost (determined using the first-in first-out method) or net realizable value. Management’s judgment is required to determine the reserve for obsolete or excess inventory. Inventory on hand may exceed future demand either because the product is outdated or because the amount on hand is more than will be used to meet future needs. Inventory reserves are estimated using standard quantitative measures based on criteria established by the Company. Though the Company considers these reserve balances to be adequate, changes in economic conditions, customer inventory levels or competitive conditions could have a favorable or unfavorable effect on required reserve balances.
Propertyand equipment and leasehold improvements
Property and equipment and leasehold improvements are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation or amortization. Depreciation and amortization is provided principally on the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets or term of the lease, which are primarily 5 to 7 years. The cost of repairs and maintenance is charged to expense as incurred. Expenditures for property betterments and renewals are capitalized. Upon sale or other disposition of a depreciable asset, cost and accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts and any gain or loss is reflected in other income (expense).
The Company periodically evaluates whether events and circumstances have occurred that may warrant revision of the estimated useful lives of fixed assets or whether the remaining balance of fixed assets should be evaluated for possible impairment. The Company uses an estimate of the related undiscounted cash flows over the remaining life of the fixed assets in measuring their recoverability.
Researchand development costs
The Company accounts for research and development costs in accordance with the Accounting Standards Codification subtopic 730-10, Research and Development (“ASC 730-10”). Under ASC 730-10, all research and development costs must be charged to expense as incurred. Accordingly, internal research and development costs are expensed as incurred. Third-party research and developments costs are expensed when the contracted work has been performed or as milestone results have been achieved. Company-sponsored research and development costs related to both present and future products are expensed in the period incurred. During the years ended December 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019 the Company incurred research and development costs of $17,590 and $7,154, respectively.
RevenueRecognition
We account for revenues in accordance with the Accounting Standard Codification topic 606, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers” and all the related amendments. This standards core principal is that a company should recognize revenue when it transfers promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the company expects to receive.
We recognize the sale of products under single performance obligations upon shipment of the units as that is when ownership is transferred and performance is completed. Revenues from repair and maintenance activities is recognized when the repairs are completed and the units have been shipped.
Advertising
The Company expenses the costs of advertising as incurred. Advertising expenses which are included in Selling General and Administrative expenses were $70,587 and $66,186 for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively.
Customerdeposits and unearned revenue and returns policy
The Company typically takes a 100% deposit against new customer or large orders. The remaining balance due is payable prior to shipment of the goods. There is no provision for cancellation of such orders once the deposit is accepted. Additionally, returns of all other merchandise are subject to a 25% restocking fee as stated on each sales invoice. Customer deposits and unearned revenue totaled $10,281 and $6,676 at December 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively.
Warrantypolicy
Under the provisions of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) ASC 460, Guarantor’s Guarantees, the Company may accrue a liability for estimated warranty policy costs based on standard quantitative measures based on criteria established by the Company. Estimates of costs to service its warranty obligations are based on historical experience, expectation of future conditions and known product issues. To the extent the Company experiences increased warranty claim activity or increased costs associated with servicing those claims, revisions to the estimated warranty reserve would be required. The Company engages in product quality programs and processes, including monitoring and evaluating the quality of its suppliers, to help minimize warranty obligations. The Company provides our customers with an industry standard one year warranty on units sold and may recognizes a warranty reserve based on gross sales multiplied by the historical warranty expense return rate. Currently, warranty related expenses are charged against net revenues and there is no accrued expense related to a warranty reserve.

RecentAccounting Pronouncements
In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases, which will amend current lease accounting to require lessees to recognize (i) a lease liability, which is a lessee’s obligation to make lease payments arising from a lease, measured on a discounted basis, and (ii) a right-of-use asset, which is an asset that represents the lessee’s right to use, or control the use of, a specified asset for the lease term. ASU 2016-02 does not significantly change lease accounting requirements applicable to lessors; however, certain changes were made to align, where necessary, lessor accounting with the lessee accounting model. This standard will be effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company is currently reviewing the provisions of this ASU to determine if there will be any impact on its results of operations, cash flows or financial condition.

The intent and purpose of the PPP is to support companies, during the COVID-19 pandemic, by providing funds for certain specified business expenses, with a focus on payroll. As a qualifying business as defined by the SBA, the proceeds from this loan were used to primarily help maintain the Company’s payroll and cover rent and utilities as the Company navigated its business through the lockdowns associated with the COVID-19 pandemic.
The term of the note is two years from the disbursement date, though it may be payable sooner in connection with an event of default under the note. The SBA Loan I carries a fixed interest rate of one percent per year, with the first payment due seven months from the date of initial cash receipt. To date, the payments have been waived by the SBA. Under the CARES Act and the PPP, certain amounts of loans made under the PPP may be forgiven if the recipients use the loan proceeds for eligible purposes, including payroll costs and certain rent or utility costs, and meet other requirements regarding, among other things, the maintenance of employment and compensation levels. The Company used the SBA Loan I for qualifying expenses and have applied for forgiveness of the SBA Loan I in accordance with the terms of the CARES Act. The loan balance as of December 31, 2020 was $116,160.
The SBA Loan I was forgiven in full under the terms of the CARES Act on April 21, 2021.

(“Submersible”), after giving effect to the Agreement and Plan of Merger and Reorganization (the “Merger Agreement”) with Submersible Acquisition, Inc., a Florida corporation and newly-formed, wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company (the “Acquisition Subsidiary”), that was completed on September 3, 2021 (the “Merger”). The Merger was accounted for as a “reverse merger” and recapitalization since, immediately following the completion of the transaction, Submersible Systems, Inc. became a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company.
The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information gives effect to the Merger based on the assumptions and adjustments described in the accompanying notes to the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information.
Pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement, the Company acquired all of the issued and outstanding shares of common stock held by the shareholders of Submersible (the “Sellers”) for an aggregate purchase price of $1,750,000 (the “Merger Consideration”), which was paid to the Sellers at closing (the “Closing”) by issuance to the Sellers of:
| (i) | 8% convertible promissory notes in the aggregate principal amount<br> of $350,000 (the “Notes”), and |
|---|---|
| (ii) | an aggregate of 27,305,442 shares (the “Merger Shares”)<br> of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, at a price of approximately $0.05127 per share (the “Conversion Rate”). |
| --- | --- |
The Merger Shares received by the Sellers are subject to a leak-out restriction commencing on the date of issuance, as follows: (i) up to 12.5% may be sold after 6 months; (ii) up to 25% may be sold after 9 months; (iii) up to 75% may be sold after 24 months; and (iv) up to 100% may be sold after 36 months from the date of issuance. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the leak-out restriction may be waived by the Company under certain conditions.
The Sellers were granted “piggyback” registration rights with respect to the Merger Shares and the shares of common stock that may be received upon their conversion of the Notes.
The Notes have a maturity date of September 3, 2024, and bear interest at a rate of 8% per annum. Interest is payable at the end of each 3-month period commencing on September 30, 2021, in shares of common stock of the Company, calculated based on the amount due on said date divided by the Conversion Rate. The Company has the right to prepay amounts due under the Notes in whole or in part at any time without penalty or premium. Within 30 days after the end of each quarter, commencing on the first full quarter after the Closing, the Company will pay, as a reduction of the principal amount of the Notes, in cash, payments equal to 50% of Submersible’s net income before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (but expressly excluding any overhead cost allocation applied to Submersible by the Company). The final payment will be a balloon payment of the balance due upon the end of the term of the Notes. The holders of Notes have the right to convert the Notes, in whole or in part, at any time, within the 36-month term into shares of common stock of the Company at the Conversion Rate.
The unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet as of June 30, 2021 is presented as if the Merger had occurred on June 30, 2021. The unaudited condensed combined statements of operations for the six months ended June 30, 2021 and for the year ended December 31, 2020 are presented as if the Merger had occurred on January 1, 2020.
The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information was prepared in accordance with Article 11 of the Securities and Exchange Commission’s Regulation S-X. The unaudited pro forma adjustments reflecting the Merger have been prepared in accordance with the guidance for business combinations presented in ASC 805 and reflect the allocation of the preliminary purchase price to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed in the Merger based on their estimated fair values. The historical financial information has been adjusted in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information to give effect to pro forma events that are: (i) directly attributable to the Merger; (ii) factually supportable; and (iii) with respect to the condensed combined statements of operations, expected to have a continuing impact on the combined results of operations.
The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information is presented for informational purposes only and is not necessarily indicative of the operating results or financial position that would have occurred if the Merger had been affected on the dates previously set forth, nor is it indicative of the future operating results or financial position in combination. The preliminary purchase price allocation was made using the Company’s best estimates of fair value, which are dependent upon certain valuation and other analyses that are not yet final. As a result, the unaudited pro forma purchase price adjustments related to the Merger are preliminary and subject to further adjustments as additional information becomes available and as additional analyses are performed during the applicable measurement period under ASC 805 (up to one year from the Merger date). There can be no assurances that any final valuations will not result in material adjustments to our preliminary estimated purchase price allocation. Further, the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information does not give effect to the potential impact of anticipated synergies, operating efficiencies, cost savings or transaction and integration costs that may result from the Merger.
The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information should be read in conjunction with our historical consolidated financial statements and their accompanying notes presented in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020 and our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the six months ended June 30, 2021, as well as the historical financial statements of Submersible for the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2020 and unaudited financial statements for the six month period ended June 30, 2021.

| 1. | Basis<br> of Pro Forma Presentation |
| --- | --- |
On September 3, 2021, the Company entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger and Reorganization with Submersible Systems, Inc. and Submersible Acquistion, Inc., a Florida corporation and newly-formed, wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company (the “Acquisition Subsidiary”), which merger was consummated on September 3, 2021, (the “Merger”) The unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet at June 30, 2021 combines the Company’s historical condensed consolidated balance sheet with the historical condensed balance sheet of Submersible as if the Merger had occurred on that date. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined statements of operations for the six months ended June 30, 2021 and for the year ended December 31, 2020 combine the Company’s historical condensed consolidated statements of operations with the condensed statements of operations of Submersible as if the Merger had occurred on January 1, 2020. The historical financial information is adjusted in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information to give effect to pro forma events that are: (i) directly attributable to the Merger; (ii) factually supportable; and (iii) with respect to the condensed combined statements of operations, expected to have a continuing impact on the Company’s combined results.
| 2. | Preliminary<br> Consideration Transferred |
|---|
Pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement, the Company paid $1,799,919 in consideration consisting of three year 8% unsecured promissory notes in the aggregate principal amount of $350,000 and the issuance of 27,305,442 shares of common stock with a fair value on the date of issuance of $1,449,919.
| 3. | Preliminary<br> Purchase Price Allocation |
|---|
Under the acquisition method of accounting outlined in ASC 805, the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed in the Merger are recorded at their Merger date at fair values and are included in the Company’s consolidated financial position. The Company’s unaudited pro forma adjustments are preliminary in nature and based on the estimates of fair value for all assets acquired and liabilities assumed to illustrate the estimated effect of the Merger on the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheet at June 30, 2020. Accordingly, the unaudited pro forma purchase price allocation is subject to further adjustments as additional information becomes available and as additional analyses are performed. The primary areas that are not yet finalized relate to estimated fair values for inventory and identifiable intangible assets. There can be no assurances that any final valuations will not result in material adjustments to our preliminary estimated purchase price allocation.
The following table summarizes the preliminary purchase price allocation for the assets acquired and liabilities assumed in connection with the Merger:
| Amount | Weighted Average<br> Life (Years) | ||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Tangible Assets Acquired | $ | 1,089,382 | |||
| Liabilities Assumed | (294,671 | ) | |||
| Inventory Step Up | 31,000 | ||||
| Trademarks | 121,000 | 15 | |||
| Non-compete Agreements | 22,000 | 5 | |||
| Customer Relationships | 600,000 | 10 | |||
| Goodwill | 231,208 | Indefinite | |||
| $ | 1,799,919 |
Our unaudited pro forma purchase price allocation includes certain identifiable intangible assets with an estimated fair value of approximately $743,000. The fair value of the identifiable intangible assets acquired was estimated using a combination of asset-based and income-based valuation methodologies. The asset-based valuation methodology established a fair value estimate based on the cost of replacing the asset, less amortization from functional use and economic obsolescence, if present and measurable. The income-based valuation methodology utilizes a discounted cash flow technique where the expected future economic benefits of ownership of an asset are discounted back to present value. This valuation technique requires us to make certain assumptions about, including, but not limited to, future operating performance and cash flow, and other such variables which are discounted to present value using a discount rate that reflects the risk factors associated with future cash flow, the characteristics of the assets acquired, and the experience of the acquired business. Such estimates are subject to change, possibly materially, as additional information becomes available and as additional analyses are performed.
