INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT
To the Stockholders and Board of Directors of Live Ventures Incorporated
Las Vegas, NV
Opinion
We have audited the combined financial statements of Flooring Liquidators, Inc. and Affiliates (the Company), which comprise the combined balance sheets as of June 30, 2022 and 2021, and the related combined statements of income, stockholders’ equity and cash flows for the years then ended, and the related notes to the financial statements.
In our opinion, the accompanying financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Flooring Liquidators, Inc. and Affiliates as of June 30, 2022 and 2021, 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.
Basis for Opinion
We conducted our audits 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 these combined 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 combined financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the combined 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 financial statements are available to be issued.
Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the combined 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 financial statements.
In performing an audit in accordance with GAAS, we:
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.

FLOORING LIQUIDATORS, INC. AND AFFILIATIED COMPANIES
Notes to the Combined Financial Statements For the years ended June 30, 2022 and 2021
NOTE 1 – BUSINESS
Nature of operations: Flooring Liquidators, Inc. (“FL”) is a C corporation, which was incorporated in 2003 and headquartered in Modesto, California, that sells flooring materials and provides flooring installation services. FL had 18 retail stores across California and primarily serves retail customers throughout the Central Valley of California.
Elite Builder Services, Inc. (“EBS”) is an S corporation, with headquartered in Modesto, California, that is a home builder service provider that provides a range of installation materials and services for national, regional, and local home builders and home buyers.

NOTE 2 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Principles of combination: The accompanying combined financial statements include the combined accounts of FL, EBS, 7DS, Floorable, K2L and SJ&K.
FL, EBS, 7DS, Floorable, K2L and SJ&K (collectively referred to as the “Companies”) are under common control of ownership and management and are combined for purposes of these financial statements. Material intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in these combined financial statements. Entities included in this report have various year ends for financial reporting purposes all figures presented are based on a June 30th year end.
Basis of accounting: These combined financial statements are presented using the accrual basis of accounting.
8
Cash and cash equivalents: Cash and cash equivalents include cash in banks. The Companies consider all highly liquid investments with a maturity of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents.
The Companies maintain their cash in bank deposit accounts, which, at times, may exceed federally insured limits. Deposits are guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation up to $250,000. As of June 30, 2022 the Companies has cash on hand in excess of FDIC limits of $11,800,689.
The Companies have restricted cash of $387,025 and $281,051 as of June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively. The restricted cash is associated to a Letter of Credit that is required as part of the insurance captive.
Accounts receivable: Generally accepted accounting principles require that an allowance for doubtful accounts be established for accounts deemed to be uncollectible. The Company maintains an allowance for doubtful accounts, which is based upon historical bad debt experience and periodic evaluations of the aging and collectability of the trade receivables. This allowance is maintained at a level which the Company believes is sufficient to cover potential credit losses and trade receivables are only written off to bad debt expense as uncollectible after all reasonable collection efforts have been made. As of June 30, 2022 and 2021, the allowance for doubtful accounts was $0, based on the historically low write-offs for bad debt.
Inventory: Inventory consists of work in process and finished product. Inventories are valued at the lower of cost or net realizable value on a first-in first-out basis.
Inventories are valued at the lower of the inventory’s cost (first in, first out basis or “FIFO”) or net realizable value of the inventory. Management compares the cost of inventory with its net realizable value and an allowance is made to write down inventory to net realizable value, if lower. Management also reviews inventory to determine if excess or obsolete inventory is present and a reserve is made to reduce the carrying value for inventory for such excess and or obsolete inventory. At years ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, the inventory reserves were approximately $895,360 and $862,738, respectively.
Property and equipment: Property and equipment are carried at cost. Depreciation of property and equipment is provided using the straight-line method of accounting over the assets’ estimated useful lives, which are from 3 to 15 years. Depreciation expense includes amortization of software, which is amortized over 3 to 5 years, and leasehold improvements, which are amortized over the remaining life of the lease. Depreciation and amortization expense of property and equipment was $930,351 and $806,789 for the years ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively. Expenditures for major renewals and betterments that extend the useful lives of property and equipment are capitalized. Expenditures for maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred.
Concentrations:
For year ended June 30, 2022, three vendors represented approximately 36% of the materials purchases for the year and four vendors represented approximately 49% of the total accounts payable balance at year end. For year ended June 30, 2021, six vendors represented approximately 49% of the materials purchases for the year and three vendors represented approximately 26% of the total accounts payable balance at year end.
Geographic Risk: The Company has a concentration of credit risk for cash by maintaining most of the deposits in banks that are located within the same geographic region in central California.
A substantial portion of the company operations and sales are located in central California, which create a geographic concentration risk specific to local economic factors in this region.
9
Income taxes: The Company accounts for income taxes using the asset and liability method. The asset and liability method requires recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for expected future tax consequences of temporary differences that currently exist between tax bases and financial reporting bases of the Company’s assets and liabilities. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which these temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. A valuation allowance is provided on deferred taxes if it is determined that it is more likely than not that the asset will not be realized. The Company recognizes penalties and interest accrued related to income tax liabilities in the provision for income taxes in its Combined Statements of Income.
Significant management judgment is required to determine the amount of benefit to be recognized in relation to an uncertain tax position. The Company uses a two-step process to evaluate tax positions. The first step requires an entity to determine whether it is more likely than not (greater than 50% chance) that the tax position will be sustained. The second step requires an entity to recognize in the financial statements the benefit of a tax position that meets the more-likely-than-not recognition criterion. The amounts ultimately paid upon resolution of issues raised by taxing authorities may differ materially from the amounts accrued and may materially impact the financial statements of the Company in future periods.
Advertising: Advertising costs are expensed as incurred. Advertising costs were $740,193 and $561,258 for the years ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively.
Shipping and handling costs: Freight expense associated with product shipped to customers that is the obligation of the Companies is recognized in cost of goods sold.
Use of estimates: The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Significant estimates made in connection with the accompanying combined financial statements include the estimated reserve for doubtful current and long-term trade and other receivables, the estimated reserve for excess and obsolete inventory, recognition of revenue.
Revenue Recognition: Sales revenue is accounted for in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“Topic 606”). Topic 606 provides a five-step revenue recognition model that is applied to the Company’s customer contracts. Under this model we (i) identify the contract with the customer, (ii) identify our performance obligations in the contract, (iii) determine the transaction price for the contract, (iv) allocate the transaction price to our performance obligations and (v) recognize revenue when or as we satisfy our performance obligations.
For retail transactions, revenue is recognized upon transfer of control of the promised goods reflected in the contract or invoice. For sales that include installation, revenue is recognized upon completion of the installation of the material in accordance with the contract. We enter into contracts that may include various combinations of products and services, which are generally distinct and accounted for as separate performance obligations.
10
Revenues for material service contracts are recognized as services are completed. Unbilled revenue is included in the accounts receivable figure on the balance sheet. The company has unbilled service revenue of $2,617,038, $791,558 and $149,643 that was recognized as June 30, 2022, 2021, and 2020, respectively.
The following is the summary of revenue by major product and service:
|
June 30, 2022 |
June 30, 2021 |
Product sales |
$ 97,595,395 |
$ 89,006,846 |
Service revenue |

$ 16,343,081 |
Total |
$ 124,053,442 |
$ 105,349,927 |
Certain transactions require customer deposits for special order materials or installation contracts. The customer deposits are recorded as a liability, until the company performs their obligation under the contract. The company had $4,040,383 and $3,375,883 in customer deposits as of June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively.
NOTE 3 – RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
In February 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued ASU 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842), which will require leases with terms of more than 12 months to be recorded as an asset on the balance sheet for the right to use the leased asset and a lease liability measured on a discounted basis for leases. Leases will be classified as either finance leases or operating leases depending on the characteristics of the lease, consistent with current GAAP. The recognition, measurement, and presentation of expenses and cash flows arising from the lease will depend on the lease classification. ASU 2016-02 is effective for non-public companies for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021, with early adoption permitted. The Companies are evaluating the impact the pronouncement may have on the combined financial statements.
In May 2014, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, which provides a five-step analysis of contracts to determine when and how revenue is recognized and replaces most existing revenue recognition guidance in U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). The core principle of the new guidance is that an entity should recognize revenue to reflect the transfer of goods and services to customers in an amount equal to the consideration the entity receives or expects to receive. ASC 606 is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2019, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020. The Companies adopted ASC 606 with a date of the initial application of July 1, 2020. The Companies adopted ASC 606 using the modified retrospective method applied to all contracts not completed as of July 1, 2020. The adoption of ASC 606 did not result in a change to the accounting for any revenue streams; as such, no cumulative effect adjustment was recorded.
In October 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-17, Consolidation (Topic 810): Targeted Improvements to Related Party Guidance for Variable Interest Entities, which provides private companies with an accounting alternative for certain commonly controlled entities. Effective July 1, 2020, the Companies are electing an
11
accounting policy not to evaluate qualifying entities under the variable interest entity guidance (VIE) in FASB ASC Topic 810.

NOTE 6 – INTANGIBLE ASSETS AND GOODWILL
Goodwill consists of the excess cost over fair value of the net assets acquired in purchase acquisitions. In accordance with FASB ASU No. 2014-02, FL elected the accounting alternative to amortize goodwill on a straight-line basis over 10 years and will only evaluate goodwill for impairment when a triggering event occurs. During the years ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, no triggering events occurred requiring impairment testing. As such, no impairment loss was recorded.
NOTE 7 – INCOME TAXES
Deferred income taxes are calculated for differences in financial reporting and income tax reporting purposes. Differences include depreciation and state income taxes.

FL files income tax returns in the U.S. federal, California, and other state and local jurisdictions as required. FL’s federal and California income tax returns remain open for examination by the Internal Revenue Service and the Franchise Tax Board for three and four years, respectively.
EBS, 7DS and SJ&K are organized as S corporations and, therefore, the Company does not pay federal corporate income taxes on its taxable income. Stockholders are liable for individual federal income taxes on their share of the Companies’ net income on their individual income tax returns. California tax law conforms to the federal tax law by recognizing S corporations as pass-through entities. This recognition is partial however, in that a 1.5% rate of tax is still imposed at the corporate level in California. EBS and 7DS’s federal and California tax returns remain open for examination by the Internal Revenue Service and the Franchise Tax Board for three and four years, respectively.

NOTE 14 – COVID-19 |
|
|
|
|
In January 2020, the World Health Organization (WHO) announced a global health emergency because of a new strain of coronavirus originating in Wuhan, China (the COVID-19 outbreak) and the risks to the international community as the virus spreads globally beyond its point of origin. In March 2020, the WHO classified the COVID-19 outbreak as a pandemic, based on the rapid increase in exposure globally.
In March 2020, President Trump signed into law the “Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (CARES) Act.” The CARES Act, among other things, includes provisions relating to refundable payroll tax credits, deferment of employer side social security payments, net operating loss carryback periods, alternative minimum tax credit refunds, modifications to the net interest deduction limitations, increased limitations on qualified charitable contributions, and technical corrections to tax depreciation methods for qualified improvement property. It also appropriated funds for the SBA Paycheck Protection Program loans that are forgivable in certain situations to promote continued employment.
On April 13, 2020, FL received a loan in the amount of $1,628,621 under the Paycheck Protection Program. The loan accrued interest at a rate of 1% and had an original maturity date of two years which can be extended to five years by mutual agreement of the Companies and the lender. Payments are deferred during the deferral period. The deferral period is the period beginning on the date of this note, April 13, 2020, and ending 10 months after the last day of the covered period (Deferral Expiration Date). The loan was forgiven on February 25, 2021 and is included in other income for the year ended June 30, 2021.
On April 8, 2020, EBS received a loan in the amount of $984,928 under the Paycheck Protection Program. The loan accrued interest at a rate of 1% and had an original maturity date of two years which can be extended to five years by mutual agreement of the Companies and the lender. Payments are deferred during the deferral period. The deferral period is the period beginning on the date of this note, April 8, 2020, and ending 10 months after the last day of the covered period (Deferral Expiration Date). The loan was forgiven on March 29, 2021 and is included in other income for the year ended June 30, 2021.
On February 16, 2021, EBS received a second loan in the amount of $780,270 under the Paycheck Protection Program. The loan accrued interest at a rate of 1% and had an original maturity date of five years. Payments are deferred during the deferral period. The deferral period is the period beginning on the date of this note, February 16, 2021, and ending 10 months after the last day of the covered period (Deferral
22
Expiration Date). The loan was forgiven on December 30, 2021 and is included in other income for the year ended June 30, 2022.
On April 7, 2020, 7DS received a loan in the amount of $421,632 under the Paycheck Protection Program. The loan accrued interest at a rate of 1% and had an original maturity date of two years which can be extended to five years by mutual agreement of the Companies and the lender. Payments are deferred during the deferral period. The deferral period is the period beginning on the date of this note, April 7, 2020, and ending 10 months after the last day of the covered period (Deferral Expiration Date). The loan was forgiven on March 2, 2021 and is included in other income for the year ended June 30, 2021.
On March 1, 2021, 7DS received a second loan in the amount of $440,909 under the Paycheck Protection Program. The loan accrued interest at a rate of 1% and had an original maturity date of five years. Payments are deferred during the deferral period. The deferral period is the period beginning on the date of this note, March 1, 2021, and ending 10 months after the last day of the covered period (Deferral Expiration Date). The loan was forgiven on January 5, 2022 and is included in other income for the year ended June 30, 2022.
Under the requirements of the CARES Act, as amended by the PPP Flexibility Act and Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2021, proceeds may only be used for the Companies’ eligible payroll costs (with salary capped at $100,000 on an annualized basis for each employee), or other eligible costs related to rent, mortgage interest utilities, covered operations expenditures, covered property damage, covered supplier costs, and covered worker protection expenditures, in each case paid during the 24-week period following disbursement. PPP loans may be fully forgiven if (i) proceeds are used to pay eligible payroll costs or other eligible costs and (ii) full-time employee headcount and salaries are either maintained during the 24-week period following disbursement or restored by December 31, 2020. If not maintained or restored, any forgiveness of the PPP loans would be reduced in accordance with the regulations that were issued by the SBA. All the proceeds of the PPP loans were used by the Companies to pay eligible payroll costs and the Companies maintained its headcount and otherwise complied with the terms of the PPP loans. The loan proceeds were recorded as a financial liability in accordance with FASB ASC 470 and subsequently recorded as other income when the notes payable were forgiven.
The Company’s business, results of operations, and financial condition may be affected by the recent and ongoing outbreak of COVID-19. The ultimate disruption which may be caused by the outbreak is uncertain; however, it may result in an adverse impact on the Company’s financial position, operations, cash flows, and investments. Possible effects may include, but are not limited to, disruption to the Company’s customers and revenue, absenteeism in the Company’s labor workforce, and unavailability of products and supplies used in operations.
Although management is continuing to monitor and assess the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on the business, the ultimate impact of the COVID-19 outbreak or a similar health epidemic is highly uncertain and subject to change. The Companies have continued to operate during the pandemic and operations have been modified to comply with COVID-19 safety guidelines. The pandemic has caused disruptions in the shipping industry, including delayed shipping times and shortages of shipping containers, which in turn have had a negative impact on the Company’s cash flow.
