Independent Auditor’s Report

Board of Directors
Viper Holdings Corporation and Subsidiaries
Carlsbad, California

Opinion
We have audited the consolidated financial statements of Viper Holdings Corporation and Subsidiaries (the “Company”), which comprise the consolidated balance sheet as of March 31, 2022, and the related consolidated statements of operations, comprehensive loss, redeemable preferred stock and deficit, and cash flows for the year then ended, and the related notes to the consolidated financial statements.
In our opinion, the accompanying consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of March 31, 2022, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the year then ended in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Change in Accounting Principle
As discussed in Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements, effective April 1, 2021, the Company adopted Accounting Standards Codification Topic 842, Leases (Topic 842). Our opinion is not modified with respect to this matter.
Basis for Opinion
We conducted our audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America (“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 audit. 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 within one year after the date that the consolidated financial statements are issued or available to be 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 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.

In performing an audit in accordance with 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 consolidated 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.

VIPER HOLDINGS CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1. DESCRIPTION OF THE BUSINESS AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION
Viper Holdings Corporation and Subsidiaries (also referred herein to as “Viper” or the “Company”), a Florida corporation headquartered in Southern California, is the parent company of various brands in the consumer electronics industry. The Company is a global designer, manufacturer and marketer of premium audio (sold under the Bowers & Wilkins®, Denon®, Marantz®, Polk Audio®, Definitive Technology®, and other brand names).
The Company markets its broad portfolio of products through many channels including e-commerce sites, leading national retailers and specialty chains globally.
Basis of Presentation
The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“US GAAP”). The portion of consolidated entities in which the Company does not maintain ownership is presented as noncontrolling interests in the consolidated financial statements. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Comprehensive loss includes all changes in stockholders’ deficit except those resulting from investments by, and distributions to, stockholders. Accordingly, the Company’s comprehensive loss includes, net income and adjustments that arise from the translation of the consolidated financial statements of the Company’s foreign operations into U.S. dollars and defined benefit plans.
COVID-19
The worldwide spread of the COVID-19 virus has resulted in a global slowdown of economic activity which is likely to decrease demand for a broad variety of goods and services, including from our customers, while also continuing to disrupt sales channels and marketing activities for an unknown period of time until the disease is contained. While this may have a negative impact to our sales and our results of operations, the Company is not aware of any specific events or circumstances that would require an update to the estimates or judgments or a revision of the carrying value of assets or liabilities as of the date of issuance of these Consolidated Financial Statements. These estimates may change, as new events occur and additional information becomes available. Due to risks and uncertainties arising from COVID-19 in the current economic environment actual results may vary materially from estimates.

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements, in conformity with US GAAP, requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities of the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions, and those differences may be material.

Foreign Currency
The functional currencies for the Company’s foreign subsidiaries are the respective local currencies. The Company translates foreign currency balance sheet into US dollars using the end-of-period exchange rates and net sales and expenses using the average exchange rates in effect during each period. The resulting foreign currency translation adjustments are a component of accumulated other comprehensive loss, which is included in stockholders’ deficit on the consolidated balance sheet. Equity accounts are translated at historical rates, except for the change in accumulated deficit during the year which is the result of the income statement translation process. Intercompany transaction gains or losses at each period end, arising from subsequent measurement of balances for which settlement is not planned or anticipated in the foreseeable future are included as translation adjustments and recorded within other comprehensive loss. Translation of intercompany loans of a long-term investment nature are included as a component of translation adjustment in other comprehensive loss. Gains or losses resulting from foreign currency transactions are included in other income and resulted in net gains of $5.4 million for the year ended March 31, 2022.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents consist of cash on hand and highly liquid investments with initial maturities of 90 days or less. The Company also includes deposits in-transit from banks for payments related to third-party credit card and debit card transactions within cash equivalents.
Concentrations of Risk
Financial instruments, which potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk, consist principally of cash, cash equivalents and accounts receivable. The Company maintains cash balances at high-quality financial institutions. Accounts at the US institutions are secured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, but at times the balances may exceed the federally insured limits. The Company has not experienced any losses in such accounts. The Company does not believe it is exposed to any significant credit risk with respect to its cash.
During the year ended March 31, 2022, two customers accounted for 14% of the Company’s net sales.
The Company currently purchases a majority of its components from suppliers who are based in Asia with which it has long standing relationships. The Company purchased 75% of its inventory from nine suppliers during the year ended March 31, 2022. Although the Company believes that other suppliers could provide components on similar terms if needed, the loss of its relationship with these suppliers could adversely impact the Company’s operating results.
Allowance for Doubtful Accounts
The Company establishes an allowance for doubtful accounts for potentially uncollectible accounts receivable balances. The Company records an allowance for doubtful accounts that it does not expect to collect based on relevant information, including historical experience, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts. Accounts are charged off against the allowance when the Company believes they are uncollectible. Allowances for bad debts are recorded to selling, general and administrative expenses.

VIPER HOLDINGS CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Inventories, net
Inventories are valued at the lower of cost or net realizable value, determined using an average cost method. The Company periodically reviews its inventory for evidence of slow-moving or obsolete parts. A reserve for obsolete or slow-moving inventory is maintained based on inventories on hand compared to estimated future usage and sales, shelf-life assumptions, and estimates about the likelihood of obsolescence. At the point when a loss for inventory obsolescence is recognized, a new cost basis for that inventory is established, and subsequent changes in facts and circumstances do not result in the restoration or increase in that newly established cost basis.
Goodwill
Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price paid over the net fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed. The Company tests goodwill for impairment at the reporting unit level at least annually on March 31st, or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that the fair value of a reporting unit may be impaired.
The accounting guidance provides the Company with the option to perform a qualitative assessment to determine whether further impairment testing is necessary. The qualitative assessment considers events and circumstances that might indicate that a reporting unit’s fair value is less than its carry amount. These events and circumstances include, macro-economic conditions, such as a significant adverse change in the Company’s operating environment, industry or market considerations; entity-specific events such as increasing costs, declining financial performance, or loss of key personnel, or other events, such as the sale of a reporting unit, adverse regulatory developments or a sustained decrease in the Company’s stock price, as applicable.
If it is determined, as a result of the qualitative assessment, that it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount, a quantitative test is required. Otherwise, no further testing is required.
Under the quantitative test, if the carrying amount of the reporting unit goodwill exceeds the fair value of that goodwill, an impairment loss is recorded in the consolidated statement of operations as impairment of goodwill. Measurement of the fair value of a reporting unit is based on one or more of the following fair value measures: (i) using present value techniques of estimated future cash flows; (ii) using valuation techniques based on multiples of earnings or revenue; or (iii) a similar performance measure.
During fiscal year 2022 the Company performed a qualitative impairment assessment for each of its reporting units.
Indefinite-lived Intangible Assets
The Company reviews its intangible assets with indefinite lived trademarks, for impairment annually and whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying value of an asset may not be recoverable. The Company uses a qualitative approach to test indefinite-lived intangible assets for impairment by first assessing qualitative factors to determine whether it is
13



VIPER HOLDINGS CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
more-likely-than-not that the fair value of an indefinite-lived intangible asset is impaired as a basis for determining whether it is necessary to perform quantitative impairment testing.
An asset’s value is deemed impaired if the discounted cash flows or earnings projections generated do not substantiate the carrying value of the asset. Fair values are determined using the relief from royalty method in which the asset value is estimated by discounting the hypothetical royalty payments to their present value over the economic life of the asset. Key assumptions include: (i) present value factors; (ii) royalty rates used in our trademark valuations; (iii) projected revenue growth rates and other projected cash inflows and outflows used in the models; and (iv) projected long-term growth rates used in the derivation of terminal year values. These and other assumptions are impacted by economic conditions and expectations of management and will change in the future based on period specific facts and circumstances.
Long-lived Assets with Finite Lives
Intangible assets with finite lives are amortized using the straight-line method over their estimated economic lives, currently ranging from two to fourteen years. The Company estimates the useful lives of intangible assets by considering various pertinent factors including the expected use of the asset, legal or contractual provisions which may limit the life of the asset, and the effects of obsolescence and other economic factors. The Company evaluates the estimated useful lives of these intangible assets each reporting period to determine whether events or circumstances warrant revised estimates of useful lives.
Property, plant, and equipment is stated at cost, less accumulated depreciation and amortization. Additions, improvements, and major renewals are capitalized. Maintenance, repairs, and minor renewals are expensed as incurred. Depreciation is provided using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets. Estimated useful lives are three to seven years for machinery, equipment, furniture and fixtures, three years for computer hardware and software, seven years for buildings, and two to ten years for molds and tooling. Leasehold improvements are amortized over the shorter of, the life of the lease or the asset. Depreciation and amortization expense was $14.7 million and $24.0 million, respectively, during the year ended March 31, 2022.
The Company reviews property, plant and equipment and other intangibles with finite lives for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying value may not be recoverable. The Company assesses the recoverability of an asset or asset group based on the undiscounted future cash flow the asset or asset group is expected to generate. Impairment is identified if such cash flow plus net proceeds expected from disposition of the asset, if any, are less than the carrying value of the asset or asset group. When an impairment is identified, the Company reduces the carrying amount of the asset to its fair value based on a discounted cash flow approach or, when available and appropriate, to comparable market values.
Leases
The Company determines if an arrangement is a lease at inception and if so, determines whether the lease qualifies as an operating or finance lease. As of April 1, 2021, the Company adopted ASC 842 – Leases under the modified retrospective approach, refer to the Note 2, Recently

VIPER HOLDINGS CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Adopted Accounting Pronouncements for additional information. The Company does not recognize right-of-use assets and lease liabilities for short-term leases, which have terms of 12 months or less, on its balance sheet. Right-of-use (“ROU”) assets and lease liabilities are recognized based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term. When the Company’s leases do not provide an implicit rate, an incremental borrowing rate is used based on the information available at commencement dates in determining the present value of lease payments. The incremental borrowing rate is the rate of interest that the Company would expect to pay to borrow over a similar term, and on a collateralized basis, an amount equal to the lease payments in a similar economic environment. The Company’s lease terms may include options to extend or terminate the lease when the Company is reasonably certain that it will exercise such options. Lease expense for lease payments is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. The Company also elected the package of practical expedients to not reassess whether a contract contains a lease, lease classification and accounting for initial direct costs.
Debt Issuance Costs
Debt issuance costs are presented as a direct deduction of the carrying amount of the debt liability. Amortization of debt issuance costs is reported as interest expense.
Research and Development
Costs related to research and development (“R&D”), which primarily consist of labor and benefits, supplies, facilities, consulting and outside service fees, depreciation and amortization are charged to expense as incurred. The authoritative guidance allows for capitalization of software development costs incurred after a product’s technological feasibility has been established until the product is available for general release to the public. The Company believes its software development process is complete concurrent with the establishment of technological feasibility.
Warranties
The Company records a reserve for product warranties at the time revenue is recognized. The Company offers warranties of various lengths depending upon the specific product. Where applicable, the Company returns to the manufacturer or receives credit from the manufacturer for defective products to the extent that it cannot repair or resell the refurbished product.
The Company records an estimate for warranty related costs based upon historical product warranty return rates, materials usage, and service delivery costs incurred in correcting the product where applicable. The portion of the warranty reserve expected to be incurred within the next 12 months is included within accrued liabilities and other current liabilities, while the remaining balance is included within other long-term liabilities on the consolidated balance sheet. Warranty expense is recorded as a component of cost of sales in the consolidated statement of operation. Should actual product warranty return rates, materials usage, or service delivery costs differ from the historical rates, revisions to the estimated warranty reserve would be required. The current portion of warranty reserve was $4.4 million, and noncurrent warranty reserve was $3.6 million as of March 31, 2022.

Less: current portion of warranty reserve4,393 
Non-current portion of warranty reserve$3,641 
Asset Retirement Obligations
The Company records an asset retirement obligation (“ARO”) when there is a legal obligation associated with the retirement of a tangible long-lived asset. The Company’s AROs apply primarily to leased facilities which have the provision of returning the property to its original condition upon termination of the agreements. Under ASC Topic 410, Asset Retirement and Environmental Obligations, the Company records the fair value of the liability for any obligation in the period in which it is incurred if the fair value can be reasonably estimated. The liability is estimated based on various assumptions requiring management’s judgment including discount rates and is accreted to its projected future value over time. The interest rate used to calculate the present value of such costs over the estimated retirement period is based on an estimated risk adjusted credit rate for the same period. The capitalized asset is depreciated using the convention for depreciation of leasehold improvement assets. Upon satisfaction of the ARO conditions, any difference between the recorded ARO liability and the actual retirement costs incurred is recognized as an operating gain or loss in the consolidated statement of operations.
Accretion expense from AROs is included within selling, general, and administrative expenses in the consolidated statement of operations. Details of the changes in the Company’s asset retirement obligations were as follows (in thousands):

Balance at March 31, 2021$2,900

Fair Value Measurements
The Company applies the provisions of ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements, (“ASC 820”) for fair value measurements of financial assets and financial liabilities and for fair value measurements of nonfinancial items that are recognized or disclosed at fair value in the financial statements. ASC 820 establishes a framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosures about fair value measurements.
16



VIPER HOLDINGS CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Fair value is defined as the price that would be received when selling an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. In determining the fair value for the assets and liabilities required or permitted to be recorded, the Company considers the principal or most advantageous market in which it would transact, and it considers assumptions that market participants would use when pricing the asset or liability.
ASC 820 establishes a fair value hierarchy that requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. ASC 820 establishes three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities and the lowest priority to measurements involving significant unobservable inputs. The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are as follows:
Level 1—Quoted prices in active markets for identical, unrestricted assets or liabilities;
Level 2—Inputs other than Level 1 that are observable, either directly or indirectly, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities, quoted prices in markets that are not active or other inputs that can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities;
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.
There were no transfers between financial measurements during the year ended March 31, 2022. The Company believes the carrying amount of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable, and accrued liabilities and short-term loans are considered to be representative of their respective fair values because of the short-term nature of those instruments. The carrying value of our debt approximates its fair value and falls under Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy, as the interest rate is variable and based on current market rates. The Company did not have any assets or liabilities measured at fair value using Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy as of March 31, 2022.
Revenue Recognition
Product revenue is related to hardware and embedded software that is integrated into final products that are manufactured and sold by the Company. Products and related software are accounted for as a single performance obligation and all intended functionality is available to the customer upon purchase.
Revenue is recognized upon transfer of control of promised products or services to customers which is either upon shipment or upon delivery to the customer, depending on delivery terms. Revenue is recognized at an amount that reflects the consideration that we expect to receive in exchange for those products or services. The transaction price is calculated as selling price net of variable consideration which may include estimates for future returns, discounts, sales incentives, customer programs and any taxes collected from customers, which subsequently remitted to governmental authorities. Revenue from sales of products to customers is recognized at the point in time when control is transferred, which is either upon shipment or upon delivery to the customer, depending on delivery terms and the indicators of control. Shipping and handling costs associated with outbound freight after control over a product has transferred to a customer

VIPER HOLDINGS CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
are accounted for as a fulfillment cost and are included in cost of goods sold. As of March 31, 2022, the Company did not have any material amounts related to incremental costs to obtain or fulfill customer contracts.
The Company offers sales incentives and customer programs consisting primarily of discounts, cooperative advertising and market development fund programs. The Company records cooperative advertising and market development fund programs with customers as a reduction to revenue unless it receives a distinct benefit in exchange for credits claimed by the customer and can reasonably estimate the fair value of the benefit received, in which case the Company records it as an expense which is immaterial. The Company recognizes a liability or a reduction to accounts receivable, and reduces revenue based on the estimated amount of sales incentives that will be claimed by customers. Estimates for sales incentives are developed using the most likely amount and are included in the transaction price to the extent that a significant reversal of revenue would not result once the uncertainty is resolved. In developing its estimate, the Company also considers the susceptibility of the incentive to outside influences, the length of time until the uncertainty is resolved and the Company’s experience with similar contracts. Reductions in revenue related to discounts are allocated to products on a relative basis based on their respective standard selling price if there are undelivered products in a contract. Judgment is required to determine the timing and amount of recognition of marketing funds which the Company estimates based on past practice of providing similar funds.
The Company accepts returns from direct customers and from certain resellers.

Foreign Currency Derivative Instruments
The Company uses forward contracts to hedge certain monetary assets and liabilities, primarily receivables and payables denominated in foreign currencies. The Company’s objective is to partially offset gains or losses resulting from these exposures with opposing gains or losses on the forward contracts, thereby reducing volatility of earnings created by these foreign currency exposures. The fair values of the forward contracts are estimated at each period end based on quoted market prices and are recorded as either a net asset or liability on the consolidated balance sheet. These contracts are considered economic hedges but were not designated as hedges. Therefore, changes in the fair value of the instruments are recognized in the consolidated statement of operations.
Stock-Based Compensation
As compensation for services performed for the Company, certain employees, officers and directors of the Company participate in various long-term incentive plans that provide for the granting of profit interests awards. Profits interests are accounted for by the Company as stock-based compensation in the consolidated statement of operations since the instruments were granted to employees of the Company in exchange for service.
Profit interests have performance-based vesting requirements and vest upon achievement of cash distribution milestones of certain specified amounts to the other equity interest holders of Viper. The value of these awards are based on the estimated fair value of the Viper equity instrument, on the date of grant. Stock-based compensation is recognized over the requisite service period of the individual awards, which is generally equal to the vesting period. For any performance-based equity compensation, compensation is recognized once the applicable performance consideration is probable of being satisfied. Forfeited awards are accounted for as they occur.
Fair Value of Viper Units
Due to the absence of an active market for Viper equity units, the Company utilizes methodologies, approaches and assumptions consistent with the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants’ Audit and Accounting Practice Guide: Valuation of Privately-Held Company Equity Securities Issued as Compensation to estimate the fair value of equity units. In determining the exercise prices for options granted, the Company considers the fair value of the common stock as of the grant date. The fair value of the units is determined based upon a variety of factors, including the rights, preferences and privileges of the units issued; the lack of an active public market; the likelihood of achieving a liquidity event for the Company’s security holders; and forecasted performance and guideline companies, among other factors.
Employee Defined Benefit Pension Plans
The Company maintains noncontributory defined benefit pension plans which cover employees in Japan and the Netherlands.
The Company recognizes the funded status, or difference between the fair value of plan assets and the projected benefit obligations of the pension plan on the consolidated statement of financial position, with a corresponding adjustment to accumulated other comprehensive income (loss). If the projected benefit obligation exceeds the fair value of plan assets, then that difference

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
or unfunded status represents the pension liability. The Company records a net periodic pension cost in the consolidated statement of operations. The liabilities and annual income or expense is determined using methodologies that involve several actuarial assumptions, the most significant of which are the discount rate and the expected long-term rate of asset return. The fair values of plan assets are determined based on prevailing market prices see Note 8 - Benefit Plans for further information.
Income Taxes
Income taxes are accounted for using the asset and liability method in accordance with ASC 740, Income Taxes (“ASC 740”). Income taxes are provided for the tax effect of transactions reported in the consolidated financial statements and consist of taxes currently due, plus deferred taxes. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to temporary differences between the consolidated financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax basis, measured by enacted tax rates for years in which taxes are expected to be paid or recovered.
The Company recognizes deferred tax assets to the extent that we believe these assets are more likely than not to be realized. In making such a determination, we consider all available positive and negative evidence, including future reversals of existing taxable temporary differences, projected future taxable income, tax-planning strategies, carryback potential if permitted under the tax law, and results of recent operations. If it is determined that the deferred tax assets will not be able to be realized in the future in excess of the recorded amount, an adjustment is made to the deferred tax assets, which would reduce the provision for income taxes.
The Company recognizes the tax benefit of uncertain tax positions to the extent that the benefit will more likely than not be realized. Management has evaluated significant tax positions against the criteria established by professional standards and believes there are no such tax positions requiring accounting recognition in the consolidated financial statements. Management does not believe its evaluation of tax positions will significantly change within 12 months of March 31, 2022. Any changes in tax positions will be recorded when the ultimate outcome becomes known. The Company’s income tax returns are subject to examination by taxing authorities in jurisdictions in which the Company operates.
The Company recognizes the effect of uncertain income tax positions only if those positions are more likely than not of being sustained. Recognized income tax positions are measured at the largest amount that has a greater than 50% likelihood of being realized. Changes in recognition or measurement are reflected in the period in which the change in judgment occurs.
New Accounting Pronouncements
Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements
In 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued guidance on the financial reporting requirements for leasing arrangements, ASC 842, Leases. ASC 842 requires lessees to recognize operating leases with a term greater than one year on their balance sheet as ROU assets and corresponding lease liabilities, measured at the present value of the lease payments. As of April 1, 2021, the Company adopted this standard using the modified retrospective approach.
21



VIPER HOLDINGS CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Adoption of the leasing standard resulted in $21.3 million of ROU assets and $22.0 million of lease liabilities. The Company elected to apply the optional transition approach of not adjusting comparative period financial statements for the adoption impact. The Company also elected the package of practical expedients to not reassess whether a contract contains a lease, lease classification and accounting for initial direct costs. The adoption of the new standard did not have a material impact on the Company’s Consolidated Statement of Operations and Statement of Cash Flows. For additional information refer to Note 11, Leases.
In June 2016, the FASB issued guidance that changes the accounting for recognizing impairments of financial assets, ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326). Under the new guidance, credit losses for certain types of financial assets are estimated based on expected losses, over the contractual term of financial assets, including short term trade receivables and contract assets, and expands disclosure requirements for credit quality or financial assets. In the first quarter of fiscal 2022 the Company adopted the accounting standard using the modified retrospective approach. The adoption of the new standard did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
In August 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-12, Targeted Improvements to Accounting for Hedge Activities, which better align an entity’s risk management activities and financial reporting for hedging relationships through changes to both the designation and measurement guidance for qualifying hedging relationships and the presentation of hedge results. To meet that objective, the amendments expand and refine hedge accounting for both nonfinancial and financial risk components and align the recognition and presentation of the effects of the hedging instrument and the hedged item in the financial statements. ASU 2017-12 will be effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021, with early adoption permitted. The adoption of the new standard did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-15, Customer’s Accounting for Implementation Costs Incurred in a Cloud Computing Arrangement That is a Service Contract, which requires a customer in a cloud computing arrangement that is a service contract to follow the internal-use software guidance in ASC Topic 350-40 to determine which implementation costs to defer and recognize as an asset. ASU 2018-15 will be effective for annual periods, and interim periods within annual periods, beginning after December 15, 2020 and interim periods within annual periods beginning after December 15, 2021. Early adoption is permitted, including adoption in any interim period, for all entities. The adoption of the new standard did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted
In April 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-04, Codification Improvements (Topic 326), Financial Instruments — Credit Losses (Topic 815), Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815), and Financial Instruments (Topic 825). The amendments clarify the scope of the credit losses standard and among other things. With respect to hedge accounting, the amendments address partial-term fair value hedges and fair value hedge basis adjustments, among other things. On recognizing and measuring financial instruments, they address the scope of the guidance, the requirement for remeasurement to fair value when using the measurement alternative, and certain

disclosure requirements among other things. This guidance is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022, and interim periods within those fiscal years, with early adoption permitted as long an entity has also adopted the amendments in ASU 2016-13. The Company does not expect the adoption of this guidance to have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.
In November 2021, the FASB issued ASU 2021-10, Government Assistance (Topic 832), Disclosures by Business Entities about Government Assistance to increase transparency of government assistance including the disclosure of types of assistance, an entity’s accounting for the assistance, and the effect of the assistance on an entity’s financial statements. The guidance is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021, with early adoption permitted. The Company does not expect the adoption of this guidance to have a material impact to the consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.
In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-04, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848), Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting. Which provided temporary optional exceptions to the GAAP guidance on contract modifications and hedge accounting to ease the financial reporting burdens related to the expected reporting burdens related to the expected market transition from the London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR). And other interbank offered rates to alternative reference rates. The standard is effective beginning on March 12, 2020 and the Company may elect to apply the amendments prospectively through December 31, 2022. The Company plans to apply the amendments in this update to account for any qualifying contract modifications that result from the reference rate used. On April 11, 2022, the Company’s loans under the Senior Credit Facility and advances together with all accrued and unpaid interest were repaid. Refer to Note 13 – Subsequent Events for further information.

Senior Notes and Revolving Loan
On April 29, 2021, the Company entered into a new credit facility. Under the new term loan agreement, the Company issued term loans totaling $380.0 million with a term of 7 years. The new revolver agreement provides for a revolving loan facility up to a maximum principal amount of $75.0 million and subject to a borrowing base based on eligible accounts receivable and inventory. As of March 31, 2022 the Company had $2 million drawn on the revolving loan facility. The proceeds from the new term loans were used to extinguish the existing Senior Notes and Revolving Loan under the Senior Credit Facility, and to extinguish the existing Subordinated Senior Notes. These borrowings were paid off in their entirety in accordance with their original terms, and the respective facility agreements were cancelled. The proceeds from the refinancing also provided the Company with additional funding to pay $52.0 million in a distribution to stockholders, and to pay accrued but unpaid management fees to Charlesbank. The Company incurred $13.7 million of debt issue costs and fees in connection with the two new credit facility agreements and a loss of extinguishment of debt $8.7 million included in other income.
The new term loan matures on April 29, 2028 and pays variable interest at the prime rate plus 4.5%, or LIBOR plus 5.5% at the Company’s option. The outstanding principal amounts are repayable in quarterly installments of $2.4 million through September 2023 and thereafter in quarterly installments of $4.8 million, with the remainder due on maturity. The Company is required to make prepayments of the term loans in certain circumstances where excess cash flow, as defined, exceeds certain defined thresholds or in the cases of asset or subsidiary dispositions, certain defined percentages of the net proceeds. The revolving loan facility under the Revolver Agreement matures on April 29, 2026. The revolving loans pay variable interest at LIBOR plus a margin of between 1.5% and 2.0%, depending on excess availability, or at the Company’s option, at the prime rate plus a margin of between 0.5% and 1.0% depending on excess availability. The new revolver agreement also provides for an unused commitment fee that varies from 0.375% to 0.25% based on average revolver loan utilization.

Japanese Revolving Loan
In February 2020, the Company entered a secured revolving loan (the “Japanese Revolving Loan”) with Mizuho bank, which allows the Company to borrow up to ¥800 million (approximately $6.5 million).

As of March 31, 2022, the Company had ¥800 million (approximately $6.5 million) outstanding borrowing under the Japanese Revolving Loan, which is presented under short term loans on the consolidated balance sheet.
The Agreement contains customary affirmative and negative covenants, such as financial reporting requirements and customary covenants that restrict its ability to, among other things, provide collateral for obligations borne by the D&M Holdings Inc., and determine the eligibility to declare, and amount of potential dividends to be paid during a given fiscal year. The Company was in compliance with the financial covenants as of March 31, 2022.
Japanese Government Loans
In May and June 2020, the Company received ¥1.48 billion (approximately $14.0 million) in non-collateralized government loan facilities (the “Japanese Government Loans”) as part of their local Japanese stimulus program.

The realization of deferred tax assets may be dependent on the Company’s ability to generate sufficient income in future years in the associated jurisdiction to which the deferred tax assets relate. As of March 31, 2022, valuation allowances of $44.8 million have been established against the deferred tax assets as realization is uncertain. The valuation allowance decreased by $0.7 million for the year ended March 31, 2022. The deferred tax liabilities primarily consist of indefinite lived intangibles in the U.S. and Japan.
The Company considers all available positive and negative evidence, including scheduled reversals of deferred tax liabilities, projected future taxable income, tax planning strategies, and recent financial performance. Based on the review of all positive and negative evidence, it was concluded that a full valuation allowance should be recorded against the net deferred tax assets excluding the indefinite lived intangibles in all jurisdictions other than Japan and China at March 31, 2021. In the event that the Company were to determine that it would be able to realize all or part of its deferred tax assets in the future, it would decrease the valuation allowance and recognize a corresponding tax benefit in the period in which it made such a determination.

At March 31, 2022, the Company has federal net operating loss carryforwards of $18.2 million which begin to expire in 2029, and $17.8 million of federal net operating losses that carryforward indefinitely. The Company has total state net operating loss carryforwards of approximately $180.1 million which begin to expire in 2022. At March 31, 2022, the Company had federal research and development tax credits of $2.8 million which begin to expire in 2031. The Company had foreign net operating loss carryforwards of $45.7 million of which $43.1 million carryforward indefinitely and the remaining expire at various dates beginning in 2026. Utilization of the net operating loss and tax credit carryforwards may become subject to annual limitations due to ownership change limitations that could occur in the future as provided by Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, as well as similar state and foreign provisions. These ownership changes may limit the amount of the net operating loss and tax credit carryforwards that can be utilized annually to offset future taxable income.
Management regularly reviews the status of the accumulated earnings of each of the foreign subsidiaries and reassesses the determination to reinvest those earnings based on the Company’s overall financing plans. Management has asserted its intent to indefinitely reinvest accumulated earnings of foreign subsidiaries due to the capital requirements of the foreign subsidiaries. Additionally, the cash needs in the US are not as significant due to the repayment of debt subsequent to March 31, 2022. As a result, the Company has not recorded a deferred tax liability for foreign accumulated earnings or for the difference between the financial statement cost basis and the tax cost basis in the foreign subsidiaries.
The Company’s continuing practice is to recognize interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions in income tax expense. Accrued interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions as of March 31, 2022 was $37.0 thousand. During the twelve months ended March 31, 2022, there was a decrease in the accrued interest and penalties of approximately $0.2 million, primarily associated with the acquired reserves from the 2017 acquisition of D&M.
The following table summarizes the changes to unrecognized tax benefits, as follows (in thousands):
Balance as of April 1, 2021$194 
Expiration of the statute of limitations for assessment of taxes(163)

The Company and its subsidiaries are subject to federal income tax as well as income tax of multiple state and foreign jurisdictions. With few exceptions, the Company is no longer subject to income tax examination by tax authorities in major jurisdictions for years prior to 2017. However, to the extent allowed by law, the taxing authorities may have the right to examine prior periods where NOLs and tax credits were generated and carried forward and make adjustments up to the amount of the carryforwards. The Company is not currently under examination by the IRS, Foreign or state and local tax authorities.

12. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
Litigation
From time to time, the Company is involved in other litigation and proceedings in the ordinary course of its business. The Company is not currently involved in any legal proceedings that it believes would have a material adverse effect on its business or financial condition except as disclosed below.
In August 2017, the Company Philips filed two patent infringement lawsuits against D&M Germany GmbH in Germany on August 31, 2017. Cases were filed in the Mannheim District Court and Dusseldorf Regional Court. The patent asserted in the Mannheim case expired in March 2019, and the Dusseldorf court filing relates to a patent which expired in 2017. Philips and D&M had been in discussions for several years concerning taking a license to certain Philips patents including the asserted patents in Germany. In February 2022 D&M settled this lawsuit in the amount of €1,5 million or $1.65 million.
In 2015, Digital Networks North America (“DNNA”) filed for bankruptcy. In 2017, the trustee for the estate filed a claim against D&M Holdings U.S. Inc. for the avoidance and recovery of certain claimed preferential transfers made by DNNA to D&M during the year prior to the date of bankruptcy proceedings.

At this time, it is not possible to estimate the likely outcome or whether the parties will settle this matter.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
The Company is subject to a variety of claims and suits that arise from time to time in the ordinary course of its business. While management currently believes that resolving claims against the Company, individually or in aggregate, will not have a material adverse impact on its financial position, results of operations or statement of cash flows, these matters are subject to inherent uncertainties and management’s view of these matters may change in the future. Were an unfavorable final outcome to occur, there exists the possibility of a material adverse impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows for the period in which the effect becomes reasonably estimable.
