(the Company), which comprise the balance sheet as of December 31, 2020, the related statements of income, changes in stockholders’ equity and cash flows for the year then ended, and the related notes to the financial statements. Management’s Responsibility for the Financial Statements Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these 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 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 financial statements based on our audit. We conducted our audit 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 financial statements are free from material misstatement. An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditor’s judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the 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 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 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 financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of DanChem Technologies, Inc. as of December 31, 2020, 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. /s/ RSM US LLP Greensboro, North Carolina March 19, 2021

DanChem Technologies, Inc. Notes to Financial Statements 6 Note 1. Nature of Business and Significant Accounting Policies Nature of business: DanChem Technologies, Inc. (the Company) provides contract manufacturing services to the fine and specialty chemical industries. The Company’s horizontal reactor base enables the Company to run chemistries with very specific characteristics. A summary of the Company’s significant accounting policies follows: Accounts receivable: The Company records trade accounts receivable at cost, which approximates fair value at the balance sheet date. The Company estimates an allowance for doubtful accounts based on a combination of historical and current information as it relates to the individual accounts. Trade receivables are written off when deemed uncollectible. Recoveries of trade receivables previously written off are recorded when received. Inventories: Inventories are stated at the lower of cost (first-in, first-out method) or net realizable value. Cost of finished goods and raw materials are determined by standard cost methods, which approximate actual cost. Property and equipment: Property and equipment are stated at cost. Depreciation is computed by the straight-line method, based on estimated useful lives. The Company’s policy is to assign 20 year lives to the buildings and 7-12 year lives to the machinery and equipment. Income taxes: Deferred income taxes are provided on the difference between the financial reporting and the income tax basis of assets and liabilities and for loss carryforwards. Deferred income taxes are adjusted for the effects of changes in tax laws and rates on the date of enactment. Valuation allowances are established when necessary to reserve deferred income tax assets to the amount expected to be realized in future years. Management evaluated the Company’s tax positions and concluded that the Company has taken no uncertain tax positions that require adjustment to the financial statements. Revenue recognition: The Company recognizes revenue in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, which provides a five-step model for recognizing revenue from contracts with customers as follows: 1) identify the contract with the customer; 2) identify the performance obligations; 3) determine the transaction price; 4) allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract; and 5) recognize revenue when or as the performance obligations are satisfied. The Company’s revenue is derived from the sale of products and manufacturing services to customers located primarily in the United States. Sales from products and services are subject to economic conditions and may fluctuate based on changes in the industrial or financial markets. The Company’s only performance obligations required by the customer contracts are delivery of product or performance of manufacturing services. No multiple performance obligations exist. The Company considers its obligations to be met upon shipment to the customer or completion of manufacturing services and revenue is recognized at this point. Shipping terms are primarily FOB shipping point. Rights of return exist only to the extent of a quality issue with the product delivered to the customer. Technical specifications are provided by the customer and are analyzed by the Company prior to shipment of the product.


 
DanChem Technologies, Inc. Notes to Financial Statements 7 Note 1. Nature of Business and Significant Accounting Policies (Continued) The transaction price for each product or service is agreed upon with the customer on a case by case basis. Once the price is agreed for the product or service, a purchase order is required to be provided by the customer which reflects the agreed upon price. No financing component considerations are necessary as the period between transfer of the product to a customer or completion of a service and payment by the customer is less than a year in all cases. Typical payment terms are 30 to 45 days. The Company typically does not charge sales tax or any other government assessed taxes due to the nature of the product and services being provided. Profit interest units compensation expense: Profit interest units compensation expense represents awards granted to employees and Board of Director members. The fair value of the units is calculated using the Black-Scholes pricing model as of the award date and is recognized over the service period. Use of estimates: The preparation of financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amount 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. Subsequent events: All the effects of subsequent events that provide additional evidence about conditions that existed at the financial statement date, including the estimates inherent in the process of preparing the financial statements, are recognized in the financial statements. The Company does not recognize subsequent events that provide evidence about conditions that did not exist at the financial statement date but arose after, but before the financial statements are available to be issued. In some cases, nonrecognized subsequent events are disclosed to keep the financial statements from being misleading. The Company has evaluated its subsequent events (occurring after December 31, 2020), through March 19, 2021, which represents the date the financial statements were available to be issued. Recent accounting pronouncements – not yet adopted: In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842). The guidance in this ASU supersedes the leasing guidance in Topic 840, Leases. Under the new guidance, lessees are required to recognize lease assets and lease liabilities on the balance sheet for all leases with terms longer than 12 months. Leases will be classified as either finance or operating, with classification affecting the pattern of expense recognition in the income statement. In July 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-10, Codification Improvements to Topic 842, Leases, which makes narrow scope improvements to the standard for specific issues. In July 2018, the FASB also issued ASU 2018-11, Leases (Topic 842): Targeted Improvements, which provides an optional transition method allowing the standard to be applied at the adoption date. In March 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-01, Leases (Topic 842) Codification Improvements, which exempts entities from having to provide the interim disclosures required by ASC 250- 10-50-3 in the fiscal year in which a company adopts the new leases standard. A modified retrospective transition approach is required. An entity may adopt the guidance either (1) retrospectively to each prior reporting period presented in the financial statements with a cumulative-effect adjustment recognized at the beginning of the earliest comparative period presented or (2) retrospectively at the beginning of the period of adoption through a cumulative- effect adjustment. The new standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021. The Company is currently evaluating the effect that the standard will have on its financial statements.


 
DanChem Technologies, Inc. Notes to Financial Statements 8 Note 1. Nature of Business and Significant Accounting Policies (Continued) In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments—Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments, which creates a new credit impairment standard for financial assets measured at amortized cost and available-for-sale debt securities. The ASU requires financial assets measured at amortized cost (including trade receivables) to be presented at the net amount expected to be collected, through an allowance for credit losses that are expected to occur over the remaining life of the asset, rather than incurred losses. The measurement of credit losses for newly recognized financial assets (other than certain purchased assets) and subsequent changes in the allowance for credit losses are recorded in the statement of operations as the amounts expected to be collected change. The ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting this new guidance on its financial statements and does not expect the impact to be significant. Note 2.
