Dear
Mr. Ecker:
On
behalf of our client, Better Choice Company, Inc. (“the “Company”), we submit this letter in response to comments
from the staff (the “Staff”) of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) contained
in its letter dated January 2, 2025 (the “Comment Letter”), relating to the above-referenced Preliminary Proxy Statement
on Schedule 14A submitted on December 26, 2024 (the “Proxy Statement”). We are concurrently submitting via EDGAR this
letter and a revised draft of the Proxy Statement (the “Revised Proxy Statement”).
In
this letter, we have recited the comments from the Staff in italicized, bold type and have followed each comment with the Company’s
response in ordinary type.
Preliminary
Proxy Statement on Schedule 14A
General
1. Your
filing was tagged in the EDGAR system as a PRE 14A rather than as a PREM 14A, yet it appears to relate to a business combination. In
this regard, we note disclosure on page 8 that shareholders of SRx Health Solutions, Inc. are expected to own 87% of the combined
company, resulting in a change of control. Please file with the tag PREM 14A or tell us why you believe you are not required to do
so.
We
have filed the Revised Proxy Statement with the PREM 14A designation.
2.
Please file the annexes listed on page 36 with your revised proxy statement.

Re:

Amendment No. 2 to Registration Statement on Form S-1
Filed May 13, 2020
File No. 333-234349
Ladies and Gentlemen:
On behalf of our client, Better Choice Company Inc. (the “Company”), set forth below are the Company’s responses to
the comments of the Staff (the “Staff”) of the Division of Corporation Finance of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”)
in its letter dated May 27, 2020, relating to the Company’s registration statement on Form S-1 filed on May 13, 2020 (the “Registration Statement”).
The Company has filed today Amendment No. 2 to the Registration Statement (the “Amendment”), together with this
letter, via EDGAR submission. For the Staff’s reference, we are providing to the Staff by overnight delivery copies of this letter as well as both a clean copy of the Amendment and a copy marked to show all changes from the version filed on May 13,
2020.
For ease of reference, the text of the comments in the Staff’s letter has been reproduced in bold and italics herein. The Company has also provided its response immediately
after each numbered comment. Capitalized terms used but not otherwise defined herein have the meanings assigned to such terms in the Registration Statement.
June 26, 2020
Page 2
Amendment No. 1 to Form S-1 Filed May 13, 2020
Our bylaws designate the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware as the sole and exclusive forum, page 31
1.
We note your response to comment two in our letter dated November 19, 2019. It does not appear that Exhibit 3.4 is the exhibit covering your by-laws
and Exhibit 3.5, which covers your 2016 bylaws, does not appear to contain an exclusive forum provision. Please advise. Also, with respect to the provision from your bylaws cited in your letter of correspondence, please disclose whether this
provision applies to actions arising under the Securities Act or Exchange Act. We may have additional comment based on your response.
Response: The Company respectfully advises the Staff that, due to an
administrative error, the document included as Exhibit 3.5 to the Registration Statement did not reflect the Company’s current Bylaws. Accordingly, the Company has filed this Amendment to include the Company’s current Bylaws. The exclusive forum
provision is Article VIII. Governing Law; Jurisdiction of the Company's current Bylaws. The Company does not intend for the exclusive forum provision to apply to suits brought to enforce any duty or liability created by the Securities Exchange Act
of 1934, as amended, or the rules and regulations thereunder, or any other claim for which the federal courts have exclusive jurisdiction. The Company does not intend for the exclusive forum provision to apply to actions arising under the
Securities Act and we also note that federal courts have concurrent jurisdiction over all suits brought to enforce any duty or liability created by the Securities Act or the rules and regulations thereunder. Subsequent to filing this Amendment, the
Company intends to amend the current Bylaws to state clearly that Article VIII does not apply to any actions arising under the Exchange Act and that the entirety of Article VIII only applies to the fullest extent permitted by law.

In this letter, we have included the verbal comment from the Staff, based on our understanding of that comment, in italicized, bold

Response:
On October 22, 2018, Sport Endurance, Inc. authorized 2,900,000 shares of its Series E Convertible Preferred Stock (the “Series E”). The
Series E had a stated value of $0.99 per share; was convertible into common stock of Sport Endurance, Inc. at a price of $0.78 per share, based upon stated value; and accrued dividends at the rate of 10% per annum on the stated value. The Series E
had voting rights equal to those of the underlying common stock. Under certain default conditions, the Series E was subject to mandatory redemption at 125%, and the conversion price reset to 75% of the market price of common stock. Effective March
11, 2019, Sport Endurance, Inc. merged into its wholly-owned subsidiary, Better Choice Company Inc. Pursuant to the merger, each outstanding share of Series E converted into one share of Series E Convertible Preferred Stock of the Company (the “Company Series E”).
Subsequent to December 31, 2018 and prior to May 6, 2019, holders of the Series E (or the Company Series E, as applicable) converted the following:

•
On February 6, 2019, 49,523 shares of Series E were converted to 62,856 shares of common stock; and

We note that your pro forma balance sheet adjustment of $45.9 million to goodwill has been derived from a valuation of the 14.1 million shares issued in exchange for the 93.3% interest in TruPet LLC, as
described in footnote (f). However, since you have identified TruPet LLC as the accounting acquirer and the transaction as a reverse merger, it appears that any adjustments to recognize the fair value of assets and liabilities acquired
should be based on a valuation of the 3.1 million Better Choice Company Inc. common shares that were outstanding just prior to the reverse merger, as if these were issued by TruPet LLC to complete the acquisition. Please revise your pro
forma financial presentation accordingly.
Response:
The Company respectfully acknowledges the Staff’s comment and advises the Staff that after further review of the transaction between TruPet LLC, which was the accounting acquirer, and Better Choice
Company Inc., which was the legal acquirer, the Company has concluded Better Choice Company Inc. did not meet the definition of a “business” under ASC 805-10 “Business Combinations” (“ASC 805-10”) as of the
date of the merger.
The Company reached the conclusion that Better Choice Company Inc. was not a “business” under FASB ASC 805-10-55-5A as (i) it had a single long-term asset, namely a 6.3% investment in TruPet LLC, with
an estimated fair value of $2.3 million, (ii) a net working capital position of $(1.0) million, (iii) two recently signed partnership contracts for which Better Choice Company Inc. issued a total of $1.0 million in shares on May 2, 2019 and (iv) a
single employee who managed the investment asset. The Company has concluded that substantially all of the fair value of the assets acquired were concentrated in group of assets assembled to leverage the merger with TruPet LLC and Bona Vida Inc.
Accordingly, the Company intends to account for the transaction as an asset acquisition.
The Company acquired the assets of Better Choice Company Inc. through a non-monetary transaction in exchange for 3.1 million common shares and the Series E preferred shares that can be converted to 3.3
million common shares. The Company has referred to FASB ASC 805-50-30-2, which states that when the consideration given in an asset acquisition is equity interests, measurement is based on either (A) the cost which shall be measured based on the fair
value of the consideration given or (B) the fair value of the assets (or net assets) acquired, whichever is more clearly evident and, thus, more reliably measurable. The Company valued the outstanding shares based on the closing price of the public
market on May 6, 2019 of $6.00/share. The total consideration for Better Choice Company Inc. was $38.8 million based on the common shares and fully diluted Series E preferred shares outstanding and the public market share price. The estimated fair
value of assets was comprised of the TruPet LLC holding, valued at $2.3 million, the net working capital in Better Choice Company Inc. $(1.0) million, and the intangible investment into the contracts for $1.0 million for a combined estimated value of
$2.3 million.
The Company referred to FASB ASC 805-50-30-3 which states that the cost of a group of assets acquired in an asset acquisition shall be allocated to the individual assets acquired or liabilities assumed
based on their relative fair values and shall not give rise to goodwill. As there is no guidance in ASC 805-50 to determine the appropriate allocation of the excess cost over fair value of acquired net assets, the Company considered the concepts from
previous guidance in paragraph 44 of FASB Statement 141, which indicates that excess cost should only be allocated to certain qualifying assets. As the acquired assets primarily include the investment in TruPet as well as other current assets, the
Company concluded that allocating any excess cost to the assets would be inappropriate. Moreover, the nature of the excess consideration paid to Better Choice Company Inc. was primarily intended to gain access to the public company status of Better
Choice Company Inc. that allows the Company to utilize a public vehicle to more quickly and effectively access funding. Accordingly, the Company determined that the excess consideration reflects a transaction cost that should be expensed. The Company
intends to record expense of $36.5 million during the period ended June 30, 2019.
The Company further intends to revise its pro forma financial presentation in a Form 8-K/A as soon as practicable to reflect the accounting described above.

Please expand your disclosure in footnote (d) to include a qualitative description of the factors that make up the $52.9 million pro forma adjustment to goodwill for Bona Vida Inc., consistent with the
disclosure requirements outlined in FASB ASC 805-30-50-1. Tell us how you have considered the requirements of FASB ASC 805-20-25-10, and the examples in FASB ASC 805-20-55-11 through 55-45, in determining that you did not acquire any
identifiable intangible assets, if this is your view.
Response:
The Company respectfully acknowledges the Staff’s comment and advises the Staff that after further review of the transaction between TruPet LLC, which was the accounting acquirer, and Bona Vida, Inc.,
the Company has concluded Bona Vida, Inc. did not meet the definition of a “business” under ASC 805-10 as of the date of the merger.
The Company evaluated whether Bona Vida, Inc. was a “business” under ASC 805-10-55-5A through -5C based on the following criteria: (i) the financial assets consisted of the net working capital position
of $1.8 million, (ii) Bona Vida, Inc. had two employees, (iii) the products sold by Bona Vida, Inc. were manufactured by third parties in packaging designed by external graphic artists and (iv) intangible assets consisted of two recent trademark
registrations and a domain name registration. After evaluating these criteria, the Company reached the conclusion that the assets of Bona Vida, Inc. were not concentrated in a single identifiable asset or group of similar identifiable assets.
However, the Company also reviewed Bona Vida, Inc. as per FASB ASC 805-10-55-4 through -6 and -8 through -9. As Bona Vida did generate outputs, we considered whether Bona Vida had inputs and a substantive process based on ASC 805-10-55-5E, including
any of the following: (a) employees that form an organized workforce that has necessary skills, knowledge or experience to perform an acquired process, (b) a contract that provides access to such an organized workforce or (c) an acquired process that
when applied to an acquired input significantly contributes to the ability to continue producing outputs and cannot be replaced without significant cost or delay or that is considered unique or scarce. The Company reached its conclusion that Bona
Vida, Inc. was not a business as (i) the two employees that formed the workforce were insufficient to operate a pet food business as said workforce lacked an operations team to manage the supply chain and did not have a sales team to support ongoing
sales, (ii) Bona Vida, Inc. did not have any supply contracts in place to ensure continued supply of products nor any sales contracts with potential customers and (iii) Bona Vida, Inc. had not formulated any processes to support an ongoing operation.
Further, Bona Vida, Inc. did not have a material customer base, long term contract-based assets, proprietary processes or artistic intangible assets. Thus, this analysis supports Company’s conclusion that Bona Vida, Inc. was not a “business.”
Accordingly, the transaction will be accounted for as an asset acquisition.
The Company acquired the assets of Bona Vida, Inc. through a non-monetary transaction in exchange for 18.0 million shares. The Company referred to FASB ASC 805-50-30-2, which states that when the
consideration given in an asset acquisition is equity interests, measurement is based on either (A) the cost which shall be measured based on the fair value of the consideration given or (B) the fair value of the assets (or net assets) acquired,
whichever is more clearly evident and, thus, more reliably measurable. The Company valued these shares issued for the Bona Vida acquisition based on a private investment of our public equity (“PIPE”) that was completed on the day of the merger. Each
PIPE unit consisted of a single share of Better Choice Company Inc. common stock and a warrant to purchase an additional shares of Better Choice Company Inc. common stock at a strike price of $4.25. The Company received $3.00 for each PIPE unit and
has allocated $2.435 per unit to the value of the underlying share of common stock and $0.565 to each warrant convertible into common stock based on a preliminary third-party valuation performed by Doty Scott Enterprises Inc. The company believes
that the shares issued for the purchase of Bona Vida more closely resemble the shares issues in the PIPE as both of these groups of shares are restricted from trading for 6 months putting them into a different class than the freely traded shares held
by the public market investors in Better Choice Company. The total consideration for Bona Vida Inc. was $43.8 million based on the number of shares issued and the per share fair value of the newly issued shares. The Company valued the net working
capital of Bona Vida, Inc. at a book value of $1.8 million and did not assign a value to the recently registered trademarks or domain registration as the brand recognition is minimal and we are not planning to continue use of the brand.
The Company referred to FASB ASC 805-50-30-3 which states that the cost of a group of assets acquired in an asset acquisition shall be allocated to the individual assets acquired or liabilities assumed based on their relative fair values and
shall not give rise to goodwill. The Company paid excess consideration for Bona Vida, Inc. to leverage the market trading multiples for CBD-related businesses as part of its fundraising activities, including the PIPE investment raised on the day of
the merger. The Company believes that combining Bona Vida Inc. with the established processes in the TruPet, LLC subsidiary of Better Choice Company Inc. will facilitate gaining market share in a rapidly emerging industry. The Company believes that
allocating the excess cost to the acquired assets would significantly exceed the fair value of those assets and result in immediate impairment. Moreover, using similar analysis under ASC 805-5 referred to in our response to comment 1 above, the
Company concluded the nature of the excess consideration is more akin to a transaction cost. The Company intends to record expense of $42.0 million during the period ended June 30, 2019. Accordingly, the Company does not believe that it needs to
expand its disclosure in footnote (d) and instead intends to revise its pro forma presentation in a Form 8-K/A as soon practicable to reflect the accounting described above.

The Company respectfully acknowledges the Staff’s comment and advises the Staff that, as disclosed in its Current Report on Form 8-K filed on May 23, 2019, on May 21, 2019 (the “FYE Change Approval
Date”), the Company approved a change to its fiscal year end from August 31 (the “Old Fiscal Year End”) to December 31 (the “New Fiscal Year End”). The Company changed its fiscal year end in order to align the Company’s fiscal year end with that of
TruPet LLC (the accounting acquirer) and Bona Vida, Inc., which the Company acquired on May 6, 2019.

4.Given that you have identified TruPet LLC as the accounting acquirer, we understand that
you will include historical financial statements of this entity in subsequent periodic
reports, for certain comparative periods that preceded the reverse merger. Generally, you
will need to recast share and per share figures and share activity of this entity in a manner
that is consistent with the capital structure acquired in your merger with Better Choice
Company, Inc., similar to a forward or reverse stock split. We understand that the initial
periodic filing by the post-merger company will be a Form 10-Q for the quarter ended
June 30, 2019, in which TruPet LLC will be depicted as the accounting acquirer, and the
historical financial statements prior to the merger will be those of TruPet LLC. Please
contact us by telephone if you require further clarification or guidance.

Dear Mr. Kelly and Ms. Dang:
On behalf of Better Choice Company Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company” or “BCC”), we are
transmitting this letter in response to comments received from the staff (the “Staff”) of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”)
by letter dated June 17, 2019 with respect to the Company’s Form 10-K for the Fiscal Year ended August 31, 2018, filed on December 21, 2018, Form 8-K, filed on May 10, 2019 and Form 8-K, filed on May 23, 2019.
The bold and numbered paragraphs below correspond to the numbered paragraphs in the Staff’s letter and are followed by the Company’s responses. The responses provided herein are based on information provided to Latham
& Watkins LLP by the Company.
Form 8-K filed May 10, 2019
Item 2.01 - Completion of Acquisition or Disposition of Assets, page 2
1.
We note that on May 6, 2019, you acquired Bona Vida, Inc. and TruPet LLC in exchange for common shares. Given the number of shares issued in each transaction, it appears that you will need to disclose the
information prescribed by Item 5.01 on Form 8-K, and identify the accounting acquirer in accordance with FASB ASC 805-10-25-4 and 5, and FASB ASC 805-40, which pertains to reverse acquisitions.
July 12, 2019
Page 2
You should disclose how you intend to account for these transactions, and the date that you will file the historical financial statements of the businesses acquired, along with a pro forma presentation
illustrating the effects of the transactions, to comply with Rule 8-04 and Rule 8-05 of Regulation S-X, and Item 9.01 of Form 8-K.
Response: The Company respectfully advises the Staff that it intends to file a Form 8-K containing the disclosure required by
Item 5.01 concurrently with the submission of this letter and in accordance with our analysis below, identifying TruPet LLC as the accounting acquiror. The Company also advises the Staff that it intends to file the historical financial statements
of each of Bona Vida, Inc. and TruPet LLC, along with a pro forma presentation illustrating the effects of the Business Combinations (as defined below) to comply with Rule 8-04 and Rule 8-05 of Regulation S-X, and Item 9.01 of Form 8-K, no later
than July 22, 2019.
Please submit the analyses that you perform in your application of this guidance. If you believe that either entity does not meet the definition of a business, tell us how you considered the attributes
listed in Rule 11-01(d) of Regulation S-X, and provide us with all schedules referenced among Representations and Warranties in the Agreement and Plan of Merger with Bona Vida, Inc. at Exhibit 2.1, and/or the Securities Exchange Agreement with TruPet
LLC at Exhibit 2.3, as applicable, and submit the financial statements that were provided to you by these entities, as referenced in those exhibits.
Response: The Company respectfully acknowledges the Staff’s comment and notes that based upon the guidance described in ASC
805-10-25-4 and 5 and as more fully described below, the Company has concluded that TruPet LLC is the “accounting acquirer” in the Business Combinations (as defined below). In addition, pursuant to the guidance in ASC 805-40, the Company believes
the Business Combinations meet the requirements for reverse merger accounting.
Background of the Business Combinations
The Business Combinations (as defined below) included the Company and two additional entities:
TruPet, LLC: TruPet, LLC, formed in 2013, manufactures and markets dry raw diet meals, treats and supplements for dogs and cats. During the calendar year ended December 31, 2018, TruPet LLC had sales of approximately
$15 million; gross assets of approximately $6 million; cash of approximately $4 million; approximately $10 million in debt and equity; and an operating loss of approximately $6 million.
July 12, 2019
Page 3
Bona Vida, Inc.: Bona Vida, Inc., formed in 2018, develops brand and product verticals within the animal CBD supplement space. During the calendar year ended December 31, 2018, Bona Vida, Inc. had zero sales; gross
assets of approximately $1.2 million; raised approximately $2.5 million in capital; and an operating loss of approximately $3 million.
On May 6, 2019, the Company closed the acquisitions of Bona Vida, Inc. and TruPet LLC pursuant to the terms of the Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of February 28, 2019 (as amended to date, the “Bona Vida Merger Agreement”) and the Securities Exchange Agreement, dated as of February 2, 2019 (as amended to date, the “TruPet Exchange
Agreement”), respectively. The acquisitions were consummated by exchanging the Company’s common stock for 93.3% of the outstanding equity interests of TruPet LLC and all of the outstanding equity interests of Bona Vida, Inc., respectively
(collectively, the “Business Combinations”). Simultaneous with the closing of the Business Combinations, the Company closed a private placement of its common stock and warrants to purchase
its common stock for gross proceeds of $17,184,872 (the “Private Placement”). The Private Placement included the participation of a large pool of
accredited investors (49) at a fair market value of $3 per share.
As a result of the Business Combinations and the Private Placement, the Company’s ownership was comprised of the following as of May 6, 2019:

Identification of Accounting Acquirer
With respect to the Staff’s request that the Company identify the accounting acquirer in accordance with FASB ASC 805-10-25-4 and 5, and FASB ASC 805-40, the Company notes that based upon the guidance described in ASC
805-10-25-4 and 5, the Company has concluded that TruPet LLC is the “accounting acquirer” in the Business Combinations.
The Company based this conclusion on the following facts and circumstances:
July 12, 2019
Page 4
The relative voting rights in the combined entity after the Business Combinations.
According to 805-10-55-12(a), the accounting acquirer usually is the entity whose owners as a group retain or receive the largest portion of the voting rights in the combined entity. In determining which group of owners
retains or receives the largest portion of the voting rights, an entity shall consider the existence of any unusual or special voting arrangements and options, warrants, or convertible securities. The relative voting rights are determined with
respect to the stockholders of the combined entity.
As of the date of the closing of the Business Combinations, the total number of shares of common stock held in the combined entity divided among the three standalone entities being combined was as follows:
•
Bona Vida, Inc. - 44.0%
•
TruPet LLC - 34.4%
•
BCC - 21.6%
The percentage of shares held by BCC is comprised of 7.7% legacy shareholders and 14.0% of new investors pursuant to a Private Placement financing which closed simultaneously with the Business Combinations. The former
Chairman of the Board of Directors of BCC, Mike Young, initiated the Private Placement and the closing of the Private Placement was subject to the completion of the Business Combinations.
Although Bona Vida, Inc. had the largest percentage of ownership immediately after the Business Combinations, Blue Sky Holdings Trust, which is an entity beneficially owned by Lori Taylor (the current Co-CEO of the
Company), and John Word III, own approximately 12.9% and 10.1% of the outstanding shares of common stock, respectively, for a total of 23% ownership, and are the two largest current stockholders of the Company. Both Blue Sky Holdings Trust and John
Word III held membership interests in TruPet LLC prior to the Business Combinations. The trustee of Blue Sky Holdings Trust is Lori Taylor who is Co-CEO and a director of the combined entity and had a vote in the composition of the board of directors
and the management team of the combined entity.
The existence of a large minority voting interest in the combined entity if no other owner or organized group of owners has a significant voting
interest.
According to 805-10-55-12(b), the acquirer usually is the entity whose single owner or organized group of owners holds the largest voting interest in the combined entity. The relative voting rights are determined with
respect to the stockholders of the combined entity.
July 12, 2019
Page 5
As noted above, Blue Sky Holdings Trust, which is beneficially owned by Lori Taylor, and John Word III, own approximately 12.9% and 10.1% of the outstanding shares of common stock, respectively, and are the two largest
stockholders of the Company. Both Blue Sky Holdings Trust and John Word III held membership interests in TruPet LLC prior to the Business Combinations.
The composition of the governing body of the combined entity.
According to 805-10-55-12(c), the acquirer usually is the entity whose owners have the ability to elect or appoint or to remove a majority of the members of the governing body of the combined entity. The stockholders
holding the largest percentage of outstanding stock of a particular entity generally have the greatest ability to elect or appoint or to remove a majority of the members of the governing body.
As of the date of the closing of the Business Combinations, Blue Sky Holdings Trust, which is beneficially owned by Lori Taylor, and John Word III, own approximately 12.9% and 10.1% of the outstanding shares of common
stock, respectively, and are the two largest stockholders of the Company. Both Blue Sky Holdings Trust and John Word III held membership interests in TruPet LLC prior to the Business Combinations.
In addition, the composition of the board of directors of the Company following the Business Combinations was as follows:
•
Michael Galego, Chairman (former Chairman of the board of directors of Bona Vida, Inc.)
•
Michael Young (former Chairman of the board of directors of the Company)
•
Lori Taylor (former member of the board of managers of TruPet LLC)
•
Damian Dalla-Longa (former member of the board of directors of Bona Vida, Inc.)
•
Jeff Davis (former member of the board of managers of TruPet LLC)
The composition of the senior management of the combined entity.
According to 805-10-55-12(d), the acquirer usually is the entity whose former management controls the management of the combined entity.
The senior management of the Company following the Business Combinations is divided evenly among former members of management at Bona Vida, Inc. and TruPet LLC.
The terms of the exchange of equity interests.
July 12, 2019
Page 6
According to 805-10-55-12(d), the acquirer usually is the entity that pays a premium over the pre-combination fair value of the equity interests of the other combining entity or entities.
As of the date of the closing of the Business Combinations, the Company’s quoted market price on the OTCQB was $6.00 per share. However, the Company also closed the Private Placement on the same date, in which it sold
5,728,325 shares of its common stock and warrants to purchase its common stock to accredited third party investors at a price of $3.00 per share. Since the shares of the Company’s common stock are not widely traded (the average trading volume during
the period from May 6, 2019 to May 10, 2019 was approximately 900 to 18,000 shares of common stock traded per day), the Company believes $3.00 per share represents a more accurate fair market value of the price per share of its common stock at the
date of the closing of the Business Combinations.

According to 805-10-55-13, the acquirer usually is the entity whose relative size (measured in, for example, assets, revenues, or earnings), is significantly larger than that of the other combining entity or entities.
TruPet LLC was the largest entity by most accounting metrics as of the closing of the Business Combinations.
For example, as of 4/30/19 (immediately prior to the closing of the Business Combinations), the breakdown of total assets and revenue of each of the standalone entities being combined was as follows:
•
TruPet LLC
o
Total Assets - $2,586,890

Revenue - $4,978,038
