INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT
To the Shareholders of
Crown Building Maintenance Co. and Crown Energy Services, Inc.
dba Able Services
San Francisco, California
We have audited the accompanying combined financial statements of Crown Building Maintenance Co. and Crown Energy Services, Inc. dba Able Services (collectively, the "Company"), which comprise the combined balance sheets as of December 31, 2020 and 2019, and the related combined statements of income and retained earnings, and cash flows for the years then ended, and the related notes to the combined financial statements.
Management's Responsibility for the Financial Statements
Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these 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 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 Crown Building Maintenance Co. and Crown Energy Services, Inc. dba Able Services as of December 31, 2020 and 2019, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for the years then ended in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Change in Accounting Principle
As discussed in Note 16 the combined financial statements, the Company restated its retained earnings to account for change in accounting principle for goodwill.
Emphasis of Matter
As discussed in Note 14 to the combined financial statements, on March 11, 2020, the World Health Organization declared the novel strain of coronavirus (COVID-19) a global pandemic and recommended containment and mitigation measures worldwide. In addition, several states in the US, including California, where the Company is headquartered, have declared a state of emergency. In response, the US Government enacted the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (CARES) Act, which includes significant provisions to provide relief and assistance to affected organizations. COVID-l9 could adversely affect the economics and financial markets of many countries, namely the United States, resulting in economic downturn that could impact customers' ability to pay for services. The ultimate financial impact and duration of these events cannot be reasonably estimated at this time. Our opinion is not modified with respect to that matter.

Notes to Combined Financial Statements
December 31, 2020 and 2019
1.NATURE OF OPERATIONS
Able Services is comprised of Crown Building Maintenance Co. dba Able Building Maintenance Co. ("BM") and Crown Energy Services, Inc. dba Able Engineering Services ("AES") collectively, the ("Company").
BM is engaged primarily in the business of providing janitorial services in California, Texas, Illinois, Oregon, New York and various other states to commercial and residential clients.
AES provides engineers and technical support to maintain a commercial building's mechanical, electrical, utility systems and equipment. AES' primary objective is to achieve maximum operational efficiency while balancing the need for environmental comfort, cost effectiveness, convenience and safety. AES presently provides services in California, Texas, Illinois, Oregon, New York and various other states.
During 2014, AES and BM each acquired 250,000 shares of common stock of AbleServe Management Company ("AbleServe") representing an ownership interest of 50% for each entity. AbleServe provides management, administrative, and operational services for BM and AES. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated.
2.SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of combination and presentation
The combined financial statements include the combined accounts of BM and AES which are under common ownership. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated.
Concentration of credit risk
The Company maintains cash balances primarily in one financial institution in Northern California. Accounts at this institution are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation up to $250,000. At December 31, 2020 and 2019, cash on deposit reported by the financial institutions exceeded the 2021 federally insured amount.
Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist principally of trade accounts receivable. Credit risk is limited due to the large customer base, the credit worthiness of the customers, and the strength of the companies. Management uses direct write off procedures for bad debts and believes that minimal exposure exists for losses from credit risks.

Notes to Combined Financial Statements
December 31, 2020 and 2019
2.SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
Cash and cash equivalents
The Company considers short-term highly liquid-investments with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. Cash and cash equivalents consist primarily of checking and short-term investments. The Company places its cash and temporary cash investments with high credit quality institutions. As of December 31, 2020 and 2019, the Company only held cash.
Restricted cash
The Company had $5,710,012 and $5,416,318 of restricted cash at December 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively. The restricted cash balances are being held by the Company's insurance carrier to meet the current obligations of the workers‘ compensation loss reserve fund.
Allowance for doubtful accounts
Accounts receivable are presented net of an allowance for doubtful accounts. The Company evaluates the collectability of its accounts receivable based on known collection risks and historical experience. In circumstances where the Company becomes aware of a specific customer's inability to meet its financial obligations to the Company, the Company records a specific allowance for bad debts against amounts due to reduce the net recognized receivable to the amount it reasonably believes will be collected. For all other customers, the Company records allowance for bad debts based on the length of time the receivables are past due and based on its historical experience. If circumstances change, such as higher than expected defaults or an unexpected material adverse change in a major customer's ability to meets its financial obligations, the Company's estimates of the recoverability of the amounts due could be reduced by a material amount. The allowance for doubtful accounts was $2,975,645 and $2,396,872 as of December 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively.
Goodwill
Goodwill is the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of net assets acquired in business combinations accounted for under the purchase method. Goodwill relates to a 2014 acquisition. Goodwill would be subject to impairment testing only upon the occurrence of a triggering event. There were no triggering events and therefore no impairment for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019.
Intangible assets with estimable useful lives
Generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America ("US GAAP") require that intangible assets with finite lives be amortized over their estimated useful lives and reviewed for impairment when events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Intangible assets are comprised entirely of customer contracts and are amortized over 10 years. There were no events or changes in circumstances indicating impairment for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019.

Notes to Combined Financial Statements
December 31, 2020 and 2019
2.SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
Property and equipment
Property and equipment are stated at cost, less accumulated depreciation and amortization. Depreciation is provided using the straight-line method over estimated useful lives of 5 to 39 years. Expenditures for maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred; major replacements and improvements are capitalized. Cost and accumulated depreciation and amortization of assets sold or retired are removed from the respective property and equipment accounts, and the gain or loss, if any, is reflected in the combined statements of income and retained earnings.
Long-lived assets
The Company evaluates the carrying value of long-lived assets, including intangible assets, on an annual basis, or more frequently if impairment indicators arise. When indicators of impairment exist and assets are held for use, the Company estimates future undiscounted cash flows attributable to such assets. In the event cash flows are not expected to be sufficient to recover the recorded value of the assets, the assets are written down to their estimated fair values based on the expected discounted future cash flows attributable to the assets. Based on the results of that analysis, no impairment of long-lived assets was identified as of December 31, 2020 and 2019.
Fair value of combined financial instruments
The fair value of cash and restricted cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued liabilities at December 31, 2020 and 2019, approximates the carrying amount because of the relatively short-term maturities of these combined financial instruments. The fair value of the related party loans at December 31, 2020 and 2019, approximates their carrying amounts based on information available to the Company with respect to current interest rates and terms for similar financial instruments.
Workers‘ compensation and general liability loss reserve
Workers' compensation and general liability loss reserve represents the Company's estimated retained unpaid losses, allocated loss adjustment expenses and a provision for claims incurred but not reported. The Company engages third-party experts to assist in estimating the appropriate reserve. While management believes that the liability for unpaid claims at December 31, 2020 and 2019 is adequate to cover the ultimate net cost of claims, the liability is based on estimates and the amount ultimately paid may be more or less than the estimates. Adjustments and changes resulting from revisions of these estimates are reported in the period in which the revisions are made.

Notes to Combined Financial Statements
December 31, 2020 and 2019
2.SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
Revenue recognition
The Company derives its revenue primarily under various types of service contracts. Revenue is recognized when a contract is approved and has commitments from both parties, the rights of the parties have been identified, payment terms are identified, the contract has commercial substance, and collectability of consideration is probable. The primary types of service contracts are described below:
•Cost-plus - Cost-plus arrangements are contracts in which the client reimburses the Company for the agreed-upon amount of wages and benefits, payroll taxes, insurance charges, and other expenses associated with the contracted work, plus a profit margin. The Company measures progress toward satisfaction of the performance obligation as the services are provided, and revenue is recognized at the agreed upon contractual amount over time because the customer simultaneously receives and consumes the benefits for the services as they are performed.
•Tag jobs - Tag jobs represent additional services requested by a customer outside the standard contract. Because the nature of these short-term contracts involves performing one-off type services, revenue is recognized at the agreed-upon contractual amount as the services are provided, because the customer simultaneously receives and consumes the benefits of the services as they are performed.
•Monthly Fixed Price - Monthly fixed-price arrangements are contracts in which the client agrees to pay a fixed fee every month over a specified contract term. The Company measures progress toward satisfaction of the performance obligation as the services are provided, and revenue is recognized at the agreed-upon contractual amount over time because the customer simultaneously receives and consumes the benefits of the services as they are performed.
Income taxes
BM and AES have elected, by consent of its shareholders, to be taxed under the provisions of subchapter S of the Internal Revenue Code and various state tax laws. Under these provisions, the Company does not pay federal corporate income taxes. However, California franchise tax is limited to 1.5% of its apportioned taxable income subject to a minimum tax of $800 and other states have statutory minimum tax amounts. The shareholders, however, are liable for individual federal and state income taxes on the Company's taxable income.
California income tax has been provided for pursuant to state provisions (SB 572) conforming to federal S-Corporation law. The Company is entitled to Enterprise Zone Credits, which reduce California tax liability. At December 31, 2020 and 2019, the Company has estimated an excess of approximately $10,046,953 and $10,114,460, respectively, in non-refundable California Enterprise Zone credits, which offset California income tax. Beginning in 2006, the Company began filing state income tax returns in Texas, Illinois, Oregon, New York, and various other states.

GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect certain reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the combined financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Accordingly, actual results could materially differ from those estimates.

10.DEFERRED COMPENSATION
The Company is a party to profit-sharing and deferred compensation retirement plan agreements with several management employees. The agreements call for a payment, determined by a formulized percentage of any gain realized by the Company upon the sale of substantially all of the Company's assets, to be paid to said management employees as bonus compensation if they are employed by the Company at the date of sale. In addition, annual bonuses are earned based on a formulized percentage agreement multiplied by the annual operating profit of the Company as long as the employees are employed by the Company. After termination of employment and assuming the management employee has not engaged in competition with the Company, the employee will be vested in a retirement benefit payable beginning at the age of 65 years. The benefits payable are determined by a formulized percentage of operating profits determined as of the twelve months prior to termination. The amount distributable to each employee, or if they should die, to the designated beneficiary, is payable in installments over 120 months with interest at 3%. Deferred compensation obligations under these plans at December 31, 2020 and 2019 were $25,283,257 and $24,396,827, respectively.
BM has entered into a deferred compensation agreement with a key executive that provides for certain post-retirement benefits. BM has elected to fund this deferred compensation obligation through a rabbi trust. The rabbi trust is subject to creditor claims in the event of insolvency, but the assets held in the rabbi trust are not available for general corporate purposes. The deferred compensation obligation under this plan at December 31, 2020 and 2019 was $4,316,603 and $4,111,051, respectively, and is included in deferred compensation plan liability on the combined balance sheet. Contributions to the rabbi trust amounted to $442,305 and $423,516 during the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019.

11.PROFIT SHARING PLANS
AES sponsors two 401(k) plans for its employees. One plan is for the benefit of union employees and the other is for the benefit of non-union employees. All employees are eligible to participate in the respective plan depending on their union status. The Company does not make any contributions to the union plan. However, the Company makes matching contributions for non-union employees who work at specific job locations as listed in the plan document. Matching contributions are 50% of the employee's contribution to the plan with a maximum of 3% compensation.
Effective July 1, 2015, ABS makes matching contributions for nonunion employees. Non-Union employees are eligible for a match up to a maximum match of 4% of eligible compensation. Contributions to the plans were $1,352,465 and $1,316,306 during 2020 and 2019, respectively.
The union employees at one of the BM's job locations elected to leave their union pension plan during 2010. In lieu of having BM contribute to the union retirement plan, the employees set up a 401(k) plan to which they contribute. Only employees at the job location are eligible to contribute to this plan. BM contributed to the plan at the rate of $0.97 per hour under the terms of the collective bargaining agreement which expired June 30, 2020, and is now month to month. The employees are responsible for all costs of maintaining the plan. Contributions to the plan were $201,994 and $199,194 during 2020 and 2019, respectively. BM also sponsors a 401(k) plan for its nonunion employees. All nonunion employees are eligible to participate in the plan.
Effective July 1, 2015, BM makes matching contributions for nonunion employees. Non—Union employees are eligible for a match, up to 4% of eligible compensation. Contributions to the plan were $766,438 and $614,229 during 2020 and 2019, respectively.

13.MULTI-EMPLOYER PLANS
The Company contributes to a number of multiemployer defined pension plans under the terms of collective-bargaining agreements that cover its union-represented employees. The risks of participating in these plans are different from single-employer plans in the following aspects:
a.Assets contributed to a multiemployer plan by one employer may be used to provide benefits to employees of other participating employers.
b.If a participating employer stops contributing to the plan, the unfunded obligations of the plan may be borne by the remaining employers.
c.If the Company chooses to stop participating in some of its multiemployer plans, the Company may be required to pay to those plans an amount based on the unfunded status of the plan, referred to as a withdrawal liability.
The Company's participation in these plans for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019 is outlined in the table below. The "EIN/Pension Plan Number" column provides the Employer Identification Number (EIN) and the three-digit plan number. Unless otherwise noted, the most recent Pension Protection Act (PPA) zone status available in 2020 and 2019 is for the plan's year end at December 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively. The zone status is based on information that the Company received from the plan and is certified by the plan's actuary. Among other factors, plans in the red zone are generally less than 65 percent funded, plans in the yellow zone are less than 80 percent funded, and plans in the green zone are at least 80 percent funded. The "FIP/RP Status Pending/Implemented" column indicates plans for which a financial improvement plan (FIP) or a rehabilitation plan (RP) is either pending or has been implemented. The last column lists the expiration date(s) of the collective bargaining agreements to which the plans are subject.
Contributions into multiemployer plans for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019 totaled $61,831,633 and $63,288,494, respectively.

14.RISK AND UNCERTAINTIES
On March 11, 2020, the World Health Organization declared the novel strain of coronavirus (COVID-19) a global pandemic and recommended containment and mitigation measures worldwide. The COVID-19 outbreak in the United States has caused business disruption through mandated and voluntary closings of businesses and shelter in place orders. In response, the US. Government enacted the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (CARES) Act, which includes significant provisions to provide relief and assistance to affected organizations. While the disruption is currently expected to be temporary, there is considerable uncertainty around the duration of the closings and shelter in place orders and the ultimate impact of the CARES Act and other governmental initiatives. It is at least reasonably possible that this matter will negatively impact the Company. However, the financial impact and duration cannot be reasonably estimated at this time.
15.SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
The Company has evaluated events through March 31, 2021, the date the combined financial statements were available to be issued. No other subsequent events have been identified, except as disclosed below.
16.CHANGE IN ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLE
The Company has restated its beginning retained earnings to account for a change in accounting over goodwill. The Company had previously adopted Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2014-02, Intangibles - Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Accounting for Goodwill, which allowed for the amortization of goodwill for private companies, which it has now reversed.

1.NATURE OF OPERATIONS
Able Services is comprised of Crown Building Maintenance Co. dba Able Building Maintenance Co. ("BM") and Crown Energy Services, Inc. dba Able Engineering Services ("AES") collectively, the ("Company").
BM is engaged primarily in the business of providing janitorial services in California, Texas, Illinois, Oregon, New York and various other states to commercial and residential clients.

During 2014, AES and BM each acquired 250,000 shares of common stock of AbleServe Management Company ("AbleServe") representing an ownership interest of 50% for each entity. AbleServe provides management, administrative, and operational services for BM and AES. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated.
2.SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of combination and presentation
The combined financial statements include the combined accounts of BM and AES which are under common ownership. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated.
Use of estimates
The preparation of combined financial statements in conformity with US. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect certain reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the combined financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Accordingly, actual results could materially differ from those estimates.
Concentration of credit risk
The Company maintains cash balances primarily in one financial institution in Northern California. Accounts at this institution are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation up to $250,000. At June 30, 2021, cash on deposit reported by the financial institutions exceeded the 2021 federally insured amount.

2.SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
Concentration of credit risk (continued)
Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist principally of trade accounts receivable. Credit risk is limited due to the large customer base, the credit worthiness of the customers, and the strength of the companies. Management uses direct write off procedures for bad debts and believes that minimal exposure exists for losses from credit risks.
Cash and cash equivalents
The Company considers short-term highly liquid-investments with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. Cash and cash equivalents consist primarily of checking and short—term investments. The Company places its cash and temporary cash investments with high credit quality institutions. As of June 30, 2021, the Company only held cash.
Restricted cash
The Company had $5,586 of restricted cash at June 30, 2021, respectively. The restricted cash balances are being held by the Company's insurance carrier to meet the current obligations of the workers' compensation loss reserve fund.
Allowance for doubtful accounts
Accounts receivable are presented net of an allowance for doubtful accounts. The Company evaluates the collectability of its accounts receivable based on known collection risks and historical experience. In circumstances where the Company becomes aware of a specific customer's inability to meet its financial obligations to the Company, the Company records a specific allowance for bad debts against amounts due to reduce the net recognized receivable to the amount it reasonably believes will be collected. For all other customers, the Company records allowance for bad debts based on the length of time the receivables are past due and based on its historical experience. If circumstances change, such as higher than expected defaults or an unexpected material adverse change in a major customer's ability to meets its financial obligations, the Company's estimates of the recoverability of the amounts due could be reduced by a material amount. The allowance for doubtful accounts was $1,746 as of June 30, 2021.
Goodwill
Goodwill is the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of net assets acquired in business combinations accounted for under the purchase method. Goodwill relates to a 2014 acquisition. Goodwill would be subject to impairment testing only upon the occurrence of a triggering event. There were no triggering events and therefore no impairment for the six month period ended June 30, 2021.

2.SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
Intangible assets with estimable useful lives
Generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America ("US GAAP") require that intangible assets with finite lives be amortized over their estimated useful lives and reviewed for impairment when events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Intangible assets are comprised entirely of customer contracts and are amortized over 10 years. There were no events or changes in circumstances indicating impairment for the six month period ended June 30, 2021.
Property and equipment
Property and equipment are stated at cost, less accumulated depreciation and amortization. Depreciation is provided using the straight-line method over estimated useful lives of 5 to 39 years. Expenditures for maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred; major replacements and improvements are capitalized. Cost and accumulated depreciation and amortization of assets sold or retired are removed from the respective property and equipment accounts, and the gain or loss, if any, is reflected in the combined statements of income and retained earnings.
Long-lived assets
The Company evaluates the carrying value of long-lived assets, including intangible assets, on an annual basis, or more frequently if impairment indicators arise. When indicators of impairment exist and assets are held for use, the Company estimates future undiscounted cash flows attributable to such assets. In the event cash flows are not expected to be sufficient to recover the recorded value of the assets, the assets are written down to their estimated fair values based on the expected discounted future cash flows attributable to the assets. Based on the results of that analysis, no impairment of long—lived assets was identified as of June 30, 2021.
Fair value of combined financial instruments
The fair value of cash and restricted cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued liabilities at June 30, 2021, approximates the carrying amount because of the relatively short-term maturities of these combined financial instruments.

2.SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
Workers‘ compensation and general liability loss reserve
Workers' compensation and general liability loss reserve represents the Company's estimated retained unpaid losses, allocated loss adjustment expenses and a provision for claims incurred but not reported. The Company engages third-party experts to assist in estimating the appropriate reserve. While management believes that the liability for unpaid claims at June 30, 2021 is adequate to cover the ultimate net cost of claims, the liability is based on estimates and the amount ultimately paid may be more or less than the estimates. Adjustments and changes resulting from revisions of these estimates are reported in the period in which the revisions are made.
Revenue recognition
The Company derives its revenue primarily under various types of service contracts. Revenue is recognized when a contract is approved and has commitments from both parties, the rights of the parties have been identified, payment terms are identified, the contract has commercial substance, and collectability of consideration is probable. The primary types of service contracts are described below:
•Cost-plus - Cost-plus arrangements are contracts in which the client reimburses the Company for the agreed-upon amount of wages and benefits, payroll taxes, insurance charges, and other expenses associated with the contracted work, plus a profit margin. The Company measures progress toward satisfaction of the performance obligation as the services are provided, and revenue is recognized at the agreed upon contractual amount over time because the customer simultaneously receives and consumes the benefits for the services as they are performed.
•Tag jobs - Tag jobs represent additional services requested by a customer outside the standard contract. Because the nature of these short-term contracts involves performing one-off type services, revenue is recognized at the agreed-upon contractual amount as the services are provided, because the customer simultaneously receives and consumes the benefits of the services as they are performed.
•Monthly Fixed Price - Monthly fixed-price arrangements are contracts in which the client agrees to pay a fixed fee every month over a specified contract term. The Company measures progress toward satisfaction of the performance obligation as the services are provided, and revenue is recognized at the agreed-upon contractual amount over time because the customer simultaneously receives and consumes the benefits of the services as they are performed.

2.SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
Income taxes
BM and AES have elected, by consent of its shareholders, to be taxed under the provisions of subchapter S of the Internal Revenue Code and various state tax laws. Under these provisions, the Company does not pay federal corporate income taxes. However, California franchise tax is limited to 1.5% of its apportioned taxable income subject to a minimum tax of $800 and other states have statutory minimum tax amounts. The shareholders, however, are liable for individual federal and state income taxes on the Company's taxable income.
California income tax has been provided for pursuant to state provisions (SB 572) conforming to federal S-Corporation law. The Company is entitled to Enterprise Zone Credits, which reduce California tax liability. At December 31, 2020, the Company has estimated an excess of approximately $10,047 in non-refundable California Enterprise Zone credits, which offset California income tax. Beginning in 2006, the Company began filing state income tax returns in Texas, Illinois, Oregon, New York, and various other states.

5.LINE OF CREDIT
On March 19, 2016, the Company entered into an amendment to the credit agreement extending its revolving credit line through January 23, 2018. The agreement was subsequently extended through November 1, 2021 through a second amended and restated credit agreement. Outstanding borrowings under the line of credit shall not at any time exceed 75% of the Company's eligible accounts receivable. Interest accrues at a rate of LIBOR plus 1.35%.There were no outstanding balances on the line of credit as of June 30, 2021. The line secures a standby letter of credit with the insurance company providing workers' compensation insurance coverage. At June 30, 2021 the outstanding letter of credit was $22,279. The agreement requires the Company to comply with various financial covenants. The Company is in compliance with all financial covenants as of June 30, 2021.

6.DEFERRED COMPENSATION
The Company is a party to profit-sharing and deferred compensation retirement plan agreements with several management employees. The agreements call for a payment, determined by a formulized percentage of any gain realized by the Company upon the sale of substantially all of the Company's assets, to be paid to said management employees as bonus compensation if they are employed by the Company at the date of sale. In addition, annual bonuses are earned based on a formulized percentage agreement multiplied by the annual operating profit of the Company as long as the employees are employed by the Company. After termination of employment and assuming the management employee has not engaged in competition with the Company, the employee will be vested in a retirement benefit payable beginning at the age of 65 years. The benefits payable are determined by a formulized percentage of operating profits determined as of the twelve months prior to termination. The amount distributable to each employee, or if they should die, to the designated beneficiary, is payable in installments over 120 months with interest at 3%. Deferred compensation obligations under these plans at June 30, 2021 were $25,241.
BM has entered into a deferred compensation agreement with a key executive that provides for certain post—retirement benefits. BM has elected to fund this deferred compensation obligation through a rabbi trust. The rabbi trust is subject to creditor claims in the event of insolvency, but the assets held in the rabbi trust are not available for general corporate purposes. The deferred compensation obligation under this plan at June 30, 2021 was $4,317, and is included in deferred compensation plan liability on the combined balance sheet. There were no contributions to the rabbi trust during the six month period ended June 30, 2021.
7.PROFIT SHARING PLANS
AES sponsors two 401(k) plans for its employees. One plan is for the benefit of union employees and the other is for the benefit of non-union employees. All employees are eligible to participate in the respective plan depending on their union status. The Company does not make any contributions to the union plan. However, the Company makes matching contributions for non-union employees who work at specific job locations as listed in the plan document. Matching contributions are 50% of the employee's contribution to the plan with a maximum of 3% compensation.
Effective July 1, 2015, ABS makes matching contributions for nonunion employees. Non-Union employees are eligible for a match up to a maximum match of 4% of eligible compensation. Contributions to the plans were $732 during the period ended June 30, 2021.

7.PROFIT SHARING PLANS (continued)
The union employees at one of the BM's job locations elected to leave their union pension plan during 2010. In lieu of having BM contribute to the union retirement plan, the employees set up a 401(k) plan to which they contribute. Only employees at the job location are eligible to contribute to this plan. BM contributed to the plan at the rate of $0.97 per hour under the terms of the collective bargaining agreement which expired June 30, 2020, and is now month-to-month. The employees are responsible for all costs of maintaining the plan. Contributions to the plan were $101 during the period ended June 30, 2021. BM also sponsors a 401(k) plan for its nonunion employees. All nonunion employees are eligible to participate in the plan.
Effective July 1, 2015, BM makes matching contributions for nonunion employees. Non-Union employees are eligible for a match, up to 4% of eligible compensation. Contributions to the plan were $379 during the period ended June 30, 2021.
8.COMMON STOCK
BM has one class of common stock with 250,000 shares authorized and 125,000 issued and outstanding with no par value. AES has one class of common stock with 10,000 shares authorized and 1,000 shares issued and outstanding with a par value of $50 per share.
9.CONTINGENCIES
Legal proceedings
The Company is subject to certain legal proceedings and claims arising in the normal course of business. The Company believes that the ultimate amount of liability, if any, for any pending claims of any type will not materially affect its financial position, results of operations or liquidity.
10.RISK AND UNCERTAINTIES
On March 11, 2020, the World Health Organization declared the novel strain of coronavirus (COVID-l9) a global pandemic (“the Pandemic”). Given the unprecedented nature of this situation, the Company cannot reasonably estimate the full impact the Pandemic will have on our financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows in the foreseeable future. The ultimate impact of the Pandemic on the Company is highly uncertain and will depend on future developments, and such impacts could exist for an extended period of time, even after the Pandemic subsides.

11.SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
The Company has evaluated subsequent events through November 2, 2021, the date the combined financial statements were available to be issued. As of this date, no subsequent events have occurred that would have a material impact on the presentation of the Company's financial statements, except the following.
•On September 30, 2021, the Company was acquired by ABM Industries Incorporated for $830 million in cash, subject to customary closing adjustments for working capital and debt as described in the purchase agreement
DocumentUNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
On September 30, 2021 (“Closing Date”), ABM Industries Incorporated, which operates through its subsidiaries (collectively referred to as “ABM,” “we,” “us,” “our,” or the “Company”), completed the acquisition (the “Acquisition”) of Crown Building Maintenance Co. and Crown Energy Services, Inc. (collectively, “Able”). The preliminary purchase price for Able was $830 million, subject to customary adjustments for working capital inclusive of debt-like items. The Acquisition was completed for a net cash purchase price of $741.7 million. Pursuant to the terms of the purchase agreement, approximately $12.1 million of the cash consideration was placed into escrow accounts, of which approximately $8.2 million was placed into escrow to satisfy any applicable indemnification claims for a period of 12 months. To fund the cash purchase price, we used cash on hand and borrowed $325.0 million on September 30, 2021 at an average interest rate of 1.58% from our revolving line of credit (the “Line of Credit”) under our syndicated secured credit facility (the “Credit Facility”).
ABM and Able are providing the following unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements (“Pro Forma Financial Statements”) to aid you in your analysis of the financial aspects of the business combination described below. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Article 11 of Regulation S-X as amended by the final rule, Release No. 33-10786 “Amendments to Financial Disclosures about Acquired and Disposed Businesses” and should be read in conjunction with the accompanying notes. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements are based on ABM and Able’s historical financial information as adjusted to give effect to the business combination described below and the related financing as if the transactions had been completed on July 31, 2021 with respect to the unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet, and as of November 1, 2019 with respect to the unaudited pro forma condensed combined statement of income for the fiscal year ended October 31, 2020 and the unaudited pro forma condensed combined statement of income for the nine months ended July 31, 2021. ABM’s fiscal year ends on October 31, while Able’s fiscal year ends on December 31. Given that the fiscal year end of Able is within one quarter of ABM’s fiscal year, in accordance with Article 11 of Regulation S-X, the historical financial statements of each entity have been combined without any conforming adjustments with respect to this difference in fiscal periods.
The unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet as of July 31, 2021 combines the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet of ABM as of July 31, 2021 with the unaudited condensed combined balance sheet of Able as of June 30, 2021, which is the latest period of Able included within the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements.
The unaudited pro forma condensed combined statement of income for the fiscal year ended October 31, 2020, combines the audited consolidated statement of comprehensive income of ABM for the fiscal year ended October 31, 2020, with the audited combined statement of income of Able for the year ended December 31, 2020. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined statement of income for the nine months ended July 31, 2021, combines the unaudited consolidated statement of comprehensive income of ABM for the nine months ended July 31, 2021, with the unaudited condensed combined statement of income of Able for the nine months ended June 30, 2021. Able’s historical results for the nine months ended June 30, 2021 were derived by combining the results from the six months ended June 30, 2021 with results for the three months ended December 31, 2020 in order to disclose a consistent length of the periods between entities. Accordingly, Able’s revenue and net income of $275.8 million and $15.9 million for the three months ended December 31, 2020, respectively, are included in both the annual and interim unaudited pro forma condensed combined statements of income.
The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements are derived from, and should be read in conjunction with the ABM’s quarterly report on Form 10-Q for the period ended July 31, 2021 filed on September 9, 2021, and ABM’s annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended October 31, 2020 filed on December 17, 2020. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements should also be read in conjunction the historical unaudited combined financial statements of Able as of and for the six months ended June 30, 2021, and the historical audited combined financial statements of Able as of and for the years ended December 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019.
The foregoing historical financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements have been prepared based on the aforementioned historical financial statements and the assumptions and adjustments as described in the notes to the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements. The pro forma adjustments are based upon available information and methodologies that are factually supportable and directly attributable to the business combination referred to below and do not reflect the costs of any integration activities or benefits that may result from realization of future
revenue growth or operational synergies expected to result from the business combination. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements are presented for illustrative purposes only and do not purport to represent ABM’s combined statement of income or combined balance sheet that would actually have occurred had the transactions referred to below had been consummated on the dates assumed or to project ABM’s combined statement of income or combined balance sheet for any future date or period.

NOTES TO UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The Pro Forma Financial Statements have been prepared based on the aforementioned historical financial statements and the assumptions and pro forma adjustments as described in Note 4. The pro forma adjustments are based upon available information and methodologies that are factually supportable and directly attributable to the transactions referred to below. Additionally, the pro forma adjustments represent management’s estimates based on information available as of the date of this filing and are subject to change as additional information becomes available and additional analyses are performed. Management considers this basis of presentation to be reasonable under the circumstances.
The acquisition was accounted for under the acquisition method of accounting in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 805, Business Combinations. Under ASC Topic 805, all assets and liabilities assumed in a business combination are recognized and measured at their assumed acquisition date fair value, while transaction costs associated with the business combination are expended as incurred. The excess purchase price consideration over the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed is allocated to goodwill.
The Company has completed a preliminary review of Able’s accounting policies and identified one material change required to conform with the Company’s accounting policy, which is the adoption of ASC Topic 842, Leases. The pro forma transaction accounting adjustments as described in Note 4 include a conforming adjustment for this policy change. Additionally, the Pro Forma Financial Statements adjust Able’s presentation results to conform to the Company’s presentation. Refer to Note 2.
The Company accrued estimated certain direct and incremental acquisition expenses totaling $19.8 million in connection with the Acquisition. In addition, Able accrued $11.0 million of additional direct and incremental acquisition expenses. All of the $30.8 million of estimated acquisition expenses to be incurred are included in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet and excluded from the unaudited pro forma condensed combined statements of income. These costs will not affect the statement operations beyond twelve months after the Closing Date.
We round amounts in the Pro Forma Financial Statements to millions and calculate per-share data from the underlying whole-dollar amounts. Thus, certain amounts may not foot, crossfoot, or recalculate based on reported numbers due to rounding.

Pro forma adjustment | $ | 0.4 | | | $ | (2.4) | |
(1) Land and building and improvements with a net book value of $3.3 million at June 30, 2021 were retained by Able’s previous owners and leased to the Company on the date of the Acquisition. The removal of the land and building and improvements at the date of Acquisition is reflected in the adjustment at Note 4(k).
m. The following table summarizes the estimated pro forma adjustments made to amortization expense:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | | | | | Amortization of intangible assets |
(in millions) | | Estimated Fair Value | | Estimated Useful Life in Years | | Twelve Months Ended October 31, 2020 | | Nine Months Ended July 31, 2021 |

The following table summarizes pro forma amortization expense related to the customer relationships intangible for each of the next five years:
| | | | | | | | |
(in millions) | | |
Fiscal year 2022 | | $ | 27.4 | |

Fiscal year 2024 | | 22.9 | |
Fiscal year 2025 | | 20.6 | |
Fiscal year 2026 | | 18.3 | |
n. The pro forma adjustment for interest expense for the year ended October 31, 2020 and the nine months ended July 31, 2021 is as follows:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | | | Interest expense |
(in millions) | | Debt Proceeds | | Twelve Months Ended October 31, 2020 | | Nine Months Ended July 31, 2021 |
Line of Credit | | $ | 325.0 | | | $ | 5.1 | | | $ | 3.9 | |
Less: Able historical interest expense | | | | (1.2) | | | (0.8) | |
Pro forma adjustment | | | | $ | 3.9 | | | $ | 3.1 | |
Debt proceeds are U.S.-dollar-denominated borrowings under the Line of Credit and bear interest at 1-month LIBOR plus a spread of 0.375% to 1.250% that is based upon our leverage ratio. The pro forma interest expense is based on average interest rate of 1.58% at the issuance date of September 30, 2021. A change in interest rates of 1/8% would change the annual pro forma interest expense by $0.6 million on the Line of Credit.
o. The pro forma adjustment for income tax provision for the year ended October 31, 2020, and the nine months ended July 31, 2021, is as follows:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | Income tax provision |
(in millions) | | Twelve Months Ended October 31, 2020 | | Nine Months Ended July 31, 2021 |
Eliminate Able’s historical tax provision (1) | | $ | 1.7 | | | $ | 1.7 | |
Record income tax provision on Able’s income from operations (2) | | (14.3) | | | (12.0) | |
Record income tax provision on pro forma adjustments (3) | | (9.3) | | | (7.2) | |
Pro forma adjustment | | $ | (21.9) | | | $ | (17.5) | |
(1) Adjustment removes Able’s historical tax provision as Able was previously subject to S corporation tax (primarily California) prior to the Acquisition. Upon Acquisition, Able converted from S corporations to C corporations for tax purposes.
(2) Adjustment records the income tax provision on Able’s income from continuing operations based on an estimated tax rate of 28%. Because the tax rate used for these Pro Forma Financial Statements is an estimate, it will likely vary from the actual effective rate in future periods.
(3) Adjustment records an estimated statutory rate of 28% on pro forma adjustments related to the Company.
