INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT

To: The Members of

Expedited Logistics and Freight Services, LLC and Affiliates

Houston, Texas

We have audited the accompanying combined financial statements of Expedited Logistics and Freight Services, LLC and Affiliates (the “Company”), which are comprised of the combined balance sheets as of December 31, 2020 and 2019, the related combined statements of income and changes in members’ equity, and cash flows for each of the years then ended, and the related notes to the combined financial statements.

Management’s Responsibility for the Combined Financial Statements

Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the combined financial statements in accordance with accounting

    principles generally accepted in the United States of
    America; this includes the design, implementation, and maintenance of internal control relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of the combined financial
    statements that are free from material misstatement, whether

    due to fraud or error.

Auditor’s Responsibility

Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these combined financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the combined financial statements are free from material misstatement.

An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the combined financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditor’s judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the combined financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the entity’s preparation and fair presentation of the combined financial statements 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 entity’s internal
    control. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of significant accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the combined financial statements.

We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.

Opinion

In our opinion, the combined financial statements referred to above

    present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Expedited Logistics and Freight Services, LLC and Affiliates as of December 31, 2020 and 2019, and the results of its
  operations and its cash flows for each of the years then ended

  in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

EXPEDITED LOGISTICS AND FREIGHT SERVICES, LLC AND AFFILIATES

NOTES TO COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

December 31, 2020 and 2019

(1)   Summary of operations and significant accounting policies

Nature of operations

Expedited Logistics and Freight Services, LLC provides a variety of logistic services, which include domestic and international freight shipping and forwarding and hazardous material warehousing and distribution. The Company is headquartered in Houston, Texas and also has offices in Texas, Louisiana, Colorado, and Oklahoma.

The Company has dedicated agents, those who work in specific areas to assist in logistics, in the following locations: Texas, Louisiana, North Dakota, and Oklahoma.

Basis of presentation

The combined financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) as codified by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) in its Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”).

Principles of consolidation

The combined financial statements consist of three companies that are affiliated by common control and shared management and are collectively referred to in these combined financial statements as (“Expedited Logistics and Freight Services, LLC and Affiliates” and the “Company”). The entities included are Expedited Logistics and Freight Services, LLC, ELFS Management, Inc., and ELFS Brokerage, LLC. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated.

Recently adopted accounting standards

In March 2020, FASB issued ASU 2020-04 Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Facilitation of The Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting. The ASU provides optional expedients and exceptions for applying generally accepted accounting principles to contracts, hedging relationships and other transactions affected by reference rate reform by virtue of referencing LIBOR or another reference rate expected to be discontinued. As a result, the guidance was effective for all reporting entities immediately upon issuance on March 12, 2020 and through December 31, 2022. Both the optional expedients and election can be made after March 12, 2020, but no later than December 31, 2022. The Company adopted ASU 2020-04 and elected the practical expedients in connection with its modification of its note receivable agreement.

Accounting standards not yet adopted

In February 2016, FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases. Under the new guidance, lessees will be required to recognize a lease liability and a right-of-use asset for all leases (with the exception of short-term leases) at the commencement date. The provisions of ASU 2016-02 are effective for the Company on January 1, 2022 and must apply a modified retrospective transition approach for leases existing at, or entered into, after the beginning of the earliest comparative period presented in the combined financial statements. Lessees and lessors may not apply a full retrospective transition approach. Management is in the process of evaluating the impact of adopting ASU 2016-02 on the Company’s combined financial statements.

Use of estimates

The preparation of combined financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions. These estimates and assumptions affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the balance sheet dates and the amounts of revenue and expenses recognized during the reporting period.

Areas where accounting estimates are made by management include allowance for doubtful accounts and depreciation and amortization of property and equipment.

NOTES TO COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

December 31, 2020 and 2019

(1)   Summary of operations and significant accounting policies (continued)

Use of estimates (continued)

The Company analyzes its estimates based on historical experience and various other assumptions that it believes to be reasonable under the circumstances. Under different assumptions or conditions, the actual results could differ, possibly materially from those previously estimated. Many of the conditions impacting these assumptions are outside of the Company’s control.

Cash and cash equivalents

For purposes of the combined statements of cash flows, the Company considers all highly liquid debt instruments and other similar short-term investments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.

Concentration of credit risk

The Company primarily invests its excess cash in deposits with various banks, and at times, these deposits may exceed federally insured limits. The Company manages this risk by selecting depository institutions based, in part, upon its review of the financial stability of the institutions and has not experienced any losses on such accounts.

Accounts receivable

The Company maintains an allowance for potential credit losses based on management’s expectations of future losses in relation to the outstanding balance. The Company extends credit based on established terms and limits, and generally, does not require collateral. Accounts are written off at 180 days without continued business unless payment arrangements have been made. The allowance for doubtful accounts as of December 31, 2020 and 2019 was $270,387 and $179,870, respectively.

Property and equipment

Property and equipment are stated at cost. Additions of new equipment and major renewals and replacements of existing equipment are capitalized. Repairs and minor replacements are charged to operations as incurred. The cost and related accumulated depreciation of assets retired or sold are removed from the appropriate asset and depreciation accounts, and the resulting gain or loss is reflected in income.

Depreciation of property and equipment is provided using the straight-line method applied to the expected useful lives of the various assets. Leasehold improvements are amortized over the shorter of the life of the lease or the life of the improvement.

Income taxes

As a limited liability company, the Company’s taxable income or loss is allocated to members in accordance with their respective percentage ownership. Therefore, no provision or liability for federal income taxes has been included in the combined financial statements.

The Company is subject to income and margin taxes in various states throughout the country but primarily in Texas. As a result, the Company recorded state income tax expense of $218,105 and $242,103 as of December 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively.

Management evaluated the Company’s tax positions and concluded that the Company had taken no uncertain tax positions that require adjustment to the current or prior year combined financial statements to comply with the provisions of this guidance. With few exceptions, the Company is no longer subject to income tax examinations by the U.S. federal or state tax authorities for years before 2017. No authorities have commenced income tax examinations as of April 30, 2021.

(1)   Summary of operations and significant accounting policies (continued)

Revenue recognition

The Company’s revenue streams are from domestic and international freight services, which includes trucking, air freight, ocean freight, customs clearance and warehousing. In addition to these revenue streams are accessorial revenue to the core services. Accessorial revenue includes, but is not limited to, fuel service charges, wait time fees, hazardous cargo fees, labor charges, handling, cartage, bonding and additional labor charges. Warehousing contracts are treated by the Company as operating lease revenue. The Company recognizes all other revenue when (or as) the Company satisfies a performance obligation. The Company records revenue from contracts on a gross basis as a principal in the presentation of revenue and expenses.

Contracts with customers are created using an agreed-upon sales price in fixed rate and cost plus margin contracts. The Company recognizes revenue for trucking, air freight and ocean freight over time as the service is being performed. Accessorial and customs brokerage services are recognized using the point in time method.

For purposes of disaggregation, the revenue streams are as follows for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019.

2020 2019
Trucking $ 45,866,217 $ 58,755,010
Air freight 8,863,339 8,957,848
Accessorial and other revenue 5,910,699 9,280,682
Warehousing 4,210,694 2,812,969
Ocean freight 3,662,188 1,125,151
Customs clearance services 338,268 598,293
Total revenue $ 68,851,405 $ 81,529,953

Long-lived assets

The Company’s long-lived assets and other assets to be held and used are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability of an asset to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset to future undiscounted cash flows expected to be generated by the asset. If such asset is considered to be impaired, the impairment to be recognized is measured by the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset exceeds its fair value. The Company has determined there are no impairment losses for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019.

Subsequent events

The Company has evaluated all events or transactions that occurred after December 31, 2020 through April 30, 2021, the date the combined financial statements were available to be issued. Other than the event noted in note 5 below, no events have occurred that would have a material effect on the combined financial statements.

Management is actively monitoring the global situation on its financial condition, liquidity, operations, suppliers, industry and workforce. Although the Company cannot estimate the length or gravity of the impact of the COVID-19 outbreak at this time, if the pandemic continues, it may have a material adverse effect on the Company’s results of operations, financial position and liquidity for the year ending December 31, 2021.

EXPEDITED LOGISTICS AND FREIGHT SERVICES, LLC AND AFFILIATES

NOTES TO INTERIM COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020

(1) Summary of operations and significant accounting policies

Nature of operations

Expedited Logistics and Freight Services, LLC (the “Company”) provides a variety of logistics services, which include domestic and international freight shipping and forwarding and hazardous material warehousing and distribution. The Company is headquartered in Houston, Texas and has other offices in Texas, Louisiana, Colorado, and Oklahoma.

The Company has dedicated agents, those who work in specific areas to assist in logistics, in the following locations: Texas, Louisiana, North Dakota, and Oklahoma.

Basis of presentation

The interim combined financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) as codified by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) in its Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”).

Principles of combination

The interim combined financial statements consist of three companies that are affiliated by common control and shared management and are collectively referred to in these interim combined financial statements as the Company. The entities included are Expedited Logistics and Freight Services, LLC, ELFS Management, Inc., and ELFS Brokerage, LLC. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated.

Recently adopted accounting standards

In March 2020, FASB issued ASU 2020-04 Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Facilitation of The Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting. The ASU provides optional expedients and exceptions for applying generally accepted accounting principles to contracts, hedging relationships and other transactions affected by reference rate reform by virtue of referencing LIBOR or another reference rate expected to be discontinued. As a result, the guidance was effective for all reporting entities immediately upon issuance on March 12, 2020 and through December 31, 2022. Both the optional expedients and election can be made after March 12, 2020, but no later than December 31, 2022. The Company adopted ASU 2020-04 and elected the practical expedients in connection with its modification of its note receivable agreement.

Accounting standards not yet adopted

In February 2016, FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases. Under the new guidance, lessees will be required to recognize a lease liability and a right-of-use asset for all leases (with the exception of short-term leases) at the commencement date. The provisions of ASU 2016-02 are effective for the Company on January 1, 2022 and must apply a modified retrospective transition approach for leases existing at, or entered into, after the beginning of the earliest comparative period presented in the interim combined financial statements. Lessees and lessors may not apply a full retrospective transition approach. Management is in the process of evaluating the impact of adopting ASU 2016-02 on the Company’s interim combined financial statements.

Use of estimates

The preparation of interim combined financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions. These estimates and assumptions affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the balance sheet dates and the amounts of revenue and expenses recognized during the reporting period.

Areas where accounting estimates are made by management include allowance for doubtful accounts and depreciation and amortization of property and equipment.

NOTES TO INTERIM COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020

(1) Summary of operations and significant accounting policies (continued)

Use of estimates (continued)

The Company analyzes its estimates based on historical experience and various other assumptions that it believes to be reasonable under the circumstances. Under different assumptions or conditions, the actual results could differ, possibly materially from those previously estimated. Many of the conditions impacting these assumptions are outside of the Company’s control.

Cash and cash equivalents

For purposes of the interim combined statements of cash flows, the Company considers all highly liquid debt instruments and other similar short-term investments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.

Concentration of credit risk

The Company primarily invests its excess cash in deposits with various banks, and at times, these deposits may exceed federally insured limits. The Company manages this risk by selecting depository institutions based, in part, upon its review of the financial stability of the institutions and has not experienced any losses on such accounts.

Accounts receivable

The Company maintains an allowance for potential credit losses based on management’s expectations of future losses in relation to the outstanding balance. The Company extends credit based on established terms and limits, and generally, does not require collateral. Accounts are written off at 180 days without continued business unless payment arrangements have been made. The allowance for doubtful accounts as of June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020 was $433,008 and $270,387, respectively.

Property and equipment

Property and equipment are stated at cost. Additions of new equipment and major renewals and replacements of existing equipment are capitalized. Repairs and minor replacements are charged to operations as incurred. The cost and related accumulated depreciation of assets retired or sold are removed from the appropriate asset and depreciation accounts, and the resulting gain or loss is reflected in income.

Depreciation of property and equipment is provided using the straight-line method applied to the expected useful lives of the various assets. Leasehold improvements are amortized over the shorter of the life of the lease or the life of the improvement.

Income taxes

As a limited liability company, the Company’s taxable income or loss is allocated to members in accordance with their respective percentage ownership. Therefore, no provision or liability for federal income taxes has been included in the interim combined financial statements. The Company is however subject to income and margin taxes in various states throughout the country but primarily in Texas.

Management evaluated the Company’s tax positions and concluded that the Company had taken no uncertain tax positions that require adjustment to the current or prior period interim combined financial statements to comply with the provisions of this guidance. With few exceptions, the Company is no longer subject to income tax examinations by the U.S. federal or state tax authorities for years before 2017. No authorities have commenced income tax examinations as of November 2, 2021.

(1) Summary of operations and significant accounting policies (continued)

Revenue recognition

The Company’s revenue streams are from domestic and international freight services, which includes trucking, air freight, ocean freight, customs clearance and warehousing. In addition to these revenue streams are accessorial revenue to the core services. Accessorial revenue includes, but is not limited to, fuel service charges, wait time fees, hazardous cargo fees, labor charges, handling, cartage, bonding and additional labor charges. Warehousing contracts are treated by the Company as operating lease revenue. The Company recognizes all other revenue when (or as) the Company satisfies a performance obligation. The Company records revenue from contracts on a gross basis as a principal in the presentation of revenue and expenses.

Contracts with customers are created using an agreed-upon sales price in fixed rate and cost plus margin contracts. The Company recognizes revenue for trucking, air freight and ocean freight over time as the service is being performed. Accessorial and customs brokerage services are recognized using the point in time method.

For purposes of disaggregation, the revenue streams are as follows:

Three Month Period Ended Six Month Period Ended
June 30,<br><br> <br>2021 June 30,<br><br> 2020 June 30,<br><br> 2021 June 30,<br><br> 2020

Total revenue $ 19,414,111 $ 15,513,939 $ 36,689,648 $ 35,236,908

Long-lived assets

The Company’s long-lived assets and other assets to be held and used are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability of an asset to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset to future undiscounted cash flows expected to be generated by the asset. If such asset is considered to be impaired, the impairment to be recognized is measured by the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset exceeds its fair value. The Company has determined there are no impairment losses for the six month period ended June 30, 2021 and 2020.

Subsequent events

The Company has evaluated all events or transactions that occurred after June 30, 2021 through November 2, 2021, the date the interim combined financial statements were available to be issued. Other than the event described in note 8, no events have occurred that would have a material effect on the interim combined financial statements.

(7) COVID-19 pandemic

The worldwide outbreak of COVID-19 (Coronavirus), which was declared a pandemic by the World Health Organization on March 11, 2020, has impacted and may continue to impact our business operations, including employees, customers, financial condition, liquidity and cash flow for an extended period of time. In particular, we have experienced significant changes in demand among our various customers depending on their industry. Federal and state governments have implemented measures in an effort to contain the virus, including social distancing, travel restrictions, border closures, limitations on public gatherings, work from home, supply chain logistical changes, and closure of nonessential businesses, which measures have adversely impacted our business operations in the fiscal year 2020 and 2021. Although some of the states and foreign markets in which we operate have begun to reopen on a phased basis, the United States and other countries continue to struggle with rolling outbreaks of the virus.

The full impact of the COVID-19 outbreak continues to evolve as of the date of this filing. As such, it is uncertain as to the full magnitude that the pandemic will have on the Company’s financial condition, liquidity, and future results of operations. Management is actively monitoring the impact of the global situation on its financial condition, liquidity, operations, industry, and workforce.

Exhibit 99.3

JANEL CORPORATION

UNAUDITED PRO FORMA COMBINED

FINANCIAL INFORMATION

On September 21, 2021, Janel Corporation (the “Company” or “Janel”), through its wholly owned subsidiary Janel Group, Inc. (“Janel”), executed a Membership Interest Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with Expedited Logistics and Freight Services, LLC (“ELFS”), a Texas limited liability company based in Houston which provides non-asset-based logistics services, and the principal members of ELFS (the “Members”) for the purchase by Janel of 100% of the issued and outstanding membership interests of ELFS and ELFS Brokerage LLC, a Texas limited liability company and wholly-owned subsidiary of ELFS (collectively, the “Interests”).  The acquisition was consummated immediately following the execution of the Purchase Agreement.

Under the terms of the Purchase Agreement, the purchase price for the Interests was $19,000,000, subject to certain closing adjustments as set forth in the Purchase Agreement.  Further payments in an amount not anticipated to exceed $4,500,000 will be due to the Members based on the operating profit earned by ELFS.  The transaction closed on September 21, 2021, upon which the former Members of ELFS were paid $13,000,000 in cash and were issued an aggregate amount of $6,000,000 in subordinated promissory notes.  This acquisition was funded with cash provided by normal operations, borrowings under the Amended Loan Agreement dated September 21, 2021, as well as subordinated promissory notes issued to the Members.

The attached unaudited pro forma combined balance sheet assumes that the acquisition was completed on June 30, 2021. The unaudited pro forma combined statements of operation for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2020 and for the nine months ended June 30, 2021 assume the acquisition was completed on October 1, 2019 and reflect the operating results of Janel for its fiscal year 2020 and the operating results of ELFS and its affiliates for their fiscal 2020, derived from the audited financial statements, and the nine months ended June 30, 2021 financial statements, respectively. These operating results for different annual fiscal year periods are being appropriately combined for pro forma purposes since the fiscal year-end periods are within 93 days of each other, in accordance with Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) guidance.

  1. Description of Transaction:

On September 27, 2021, Janel Corporation (the “Company”) filed a Current Report on Form 8-K (the “Initial Form 8-K”) with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) reporting that, on September 21, 2021, the Company completed the acquisition of all of the membership interests of Expedited Logistics and Freight Services, LLC (“ELFS”) and ELFS Brokerage LLC, a wholly-owned subsidiary of ELFS.  The purchase price for the Interests was $19,000,000, subject to certain closing adjustments as set forth in the purchase agreement.  Further payments in an amount not anticipated to exceed $4,500,000 will be due to the principal members of ELFS based on the operating profit earned by ELFS.  The transaction closed on September 21, 2021, upon which the former Members of ELFS were paid $13,000,000 in cash and were issued an aggregate amount of $6,000,000 in subordinated promissory notes.  This acquisition was funded with cash provided by normal operations, borrowings under an amended loan agreement dated September 21, 2021, as well as subordinated promissory notes issued to the members.

  1. Basis of Presentation:

The acquisition will be accounted for under the acquisition method of accounting in accordance with ASC 805-10. The Company is accounting for the acquisition by using the historical information and accounting policies of Janel and adding the assets and liabilities of ELFS, as applied on a pro forma basis as of June 30, 2021, at their respective fair values. Further, and in accordance with ASC 805, the accounting policies of ELFS have been conformed to those of Janel in determining the results of operations and the amounts of assets and liabilities to be fair valued. The assets and liabilities of ELFS have been measured at fair value based on various assumptions that the Company’s management believes are reasonable utilizing information as of the Acquisition Date.

The process for measuring the fair value of identifiable intangible assets, liabilities and certain tangible assets requires the use of significant assumptions, including estimates of future cash flows and appropriate discount rates. The excess of the purchase price (consideration transferred) over the amount of identifiable assets and liabilities of ELFS acquired, on a pro forma basis as of June 30, 2021, was allocated to goodwill in accordance with ASC 805-10.

For purposes of measuring the fair value of the ELFS assets acquired and liabilities assumed, as reflected in the unaudited pro forma combined financial statements, the Company used the guidance in ASC Topic 820, “Fair Value Measurement and Disclosure”, which establishes a framework for measuring fair values. ASC 820 defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date (an exit price). Market participants are buyers and sellers in the principal (most advantageous) market for the asset or liability. Additionally, under ASC 820, fair value measurements for an asset assume the highest and best use of that asset by market participants.

The historical balance sheets of Janel and ELFS were used to create the unaudited pro forma combined balance sheet as of June 30, 2021, the last day of the Janel’s third fiscal quarter. Janel and ELFS have different fiscal year ends with Janel following a fiscal year end ending September 30 and ELFS following a calendar year-end ending on December 31.  Accordingly, the unaudited pro forma combined statement of operations for the year ended September 30, 2020 has been prepared by combining information derived from Janel’s audited historical consolidated statement of income for the year ended September 30, 2020 with the unaudited historical combined statement of income of ELFS for the twelve months ended September 30, 2020. The historical combined statement of income of ELFS for the twelve months ended September 30, 2020 was calculated by taking the audited combined statement of income for the twelve months ended December 31, 2020 and removing the results of operations for the three months ended December 31, 2020 interim period and adding the results of operations for the three months ended December 31, 2019 interim period. The interim unaudited pro forma combined statement of operations for the nine months ended June 30, 2021 has been prepared by combining Janel’s unaudited historical consolidated statement of income for the nine months ended June 30, 2021, with the unaudited historical combined statement of income of ELFS for the nine months ended June 30, 2021. The unaudited historical combined statement of income of ELFS for the nine months ended June 30, 2021 was calculated by taking the unaudited combined statement of income for the six months ended June 30, 2021 and adding the results of operations for the three months ended December 31, 2020 interim period. In addition, certain line items of the ELFS income statements were combined or reclassified in order to make the information comparable.


The table below summarizes the calculated combined historical statements of ELFS for the twelve months ended September 30, 2020 and nine months ended June 30, 2021:

As noted in Note (1), Janel paid approximately $21,300,000, net of excluded cash of $1,456,000 and excluded debt of $2,056,000, in connection with the ELFS acquisition. This acquisition was funded with cash provided by normal operations, borrowings of $13,000,000 under an amended loan agreement, subordinated promissory notes issued of $6,000,000 to the principal members of ELFS and $4,100,000 in earnout payments to members. The pro forma balance sheet has been adjusted to reflect this financing and ELFS net debt has been removed. accrued expenses and other liabilities includes the current portion of the expected earn-out payment of $1,100,000.  Additionally, included in accrued expenses and other liabilities are transaction cost of $648,000.  Transaction cost of $339,000 have been incurred, however have not been adjusted in the unaudited pro forma combined statement of operations

  1. Adjustments to Unaudited Pro Forma Combined Income Statements and Balance Sheet:

Adjustments to the unaudited pro forma combined income statements for the nine months ended June 30, 2021 and the fiscal year ended September 30, 2020 for Janel and unaudited pro forma balance sheet as of June 30, 2021 were as follows (in thousands):

a.          Amortization of intangibles: Adjustments to amortization of intangibles are comprised of the following:

Nine months ended<br><br> <br>June 30, 2021 Twelve months ended<br><br> <br>September 30, 2020
Amortization of acquired ELFS intangible assets $ 427 $ 569

b.          Interest expense: Adjustments to interest expense are comprised of the following:

Nine months ended<br><br> <br>June 30, 2021 Twelve months ended<br><br> <br>September 30, 2020
Interest expense incurred on subordinated promissory notes to sellers $ 180 $ 240
Interest expense incurred on acquisition financing 301 401
Elimination of ELFS interest expense (64 ) (70 )
$ 417 $ 571

c.          Income tax benefit (expense): We have reflected the applicable tax provision on the pro forma adjustments presented in the unaudited pro forma combined income statements based on the estimated respective statutory tax rate in the tax jurisdictions of the adjustments. Adjustments to Income tax benefit (expense) are comprised of the following:

Nine months ended<br><br> <br>June 30, 2021 Twelve months ended<br><br> <br>September 30, 2020
Income tax benefit (expense) $ (294 ) $ (92 )

Adjustments to the unaudited pro forma combined balance sheet as of June 30, 2021, were as follows:

d.        Intangibles: Acquired identifiable intangible assets were measured at fair value determined primarily using the “income approach,” which required a forecast of all expected future cash flows either through the use of the relief-from-royalty method or the multi-period excess earnings method. The estimated fair value of the identifiable intangible assets and their weighted-average useful lives are as follows:


Fair Value Useful Lives
Customer and relationships $ 6,070 15 years
Trademarks/tradenames 2,230 15 years
Non-competition agreements 80 5 years
$ 8,380

The estimated future amortization of these intangible assets is expected to be as follows:

Fiscal Year 2022 $ 569
Fiscal Year 2023 569
Fiscal Year 2024 565
Fiscal Year 2025 553
Fiscal Year 2026 553
Thereafter 4,575
$ 7,384

e.        Goodwill: The new goodwill recorded of $5,685 was calculated as the difference between the acquisition date fair value of the consideration paid for ELFS in the acquisition and the values assigned to the identifiable ELFS assets acquired and liabilities assumed as if the acquisition was completed on June 30, 2021. Goodwill is not amortized but rather is subject to impairment testing on at least an annual basis.

f.        Leases: Adjustment to conform ELFS accounting for leases to Janel’s application of generally accepted accounting policy under ASU No. 2016-02, Leases, which requires lessees to recognize lease liabilities and right-of-use assets on the balance sheet for all leases with initial terms longer than 12 months. We have reflected adjustments to increase operating lease right of use asset by $1,156, current portion of operating lease liabilities by $615 and long-term operating lease by $514.

g.          Accumulated earnings: Existing equity of $8,435 of ELFS was eliminated.
