CENTRALIZED SUPPLY CHAIN SERVICES, LLC
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
December 31, 2017 and 2016

NOTE 1 - ORGANIZATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

Income Taxes: The Company is a limited liability company formed under state statutes and taxed for federal
and state purposes as a partnership. Therefore, each member reports their proportionate share of the
Company’s taxable income or loss on their respective income tax return.

Under guidance issued by the Financial Accounting Standard Board with respect to accounting for
uncertainty in income taxes, a tax position is recognized as a benefit only if it is “more likely than not" that
the tax position would be sustained in a tax examination, with a tax examination being presumed to occur.
The amount recognized is the largest amount of tax benefit that is greater than 50% likely of being realized
on examination. For tax positions not meeting the “more likely than not” test, no tax benefit is recorded.

The Company is subject to U.S. federal income tax as well as income tax of the states of California and
Missouri. The Company is subject to examination by taxing authorities for the tax years ending on or after
2013 for federal and the states of California and Missouri. The Company does not expect the total amount
of unrecognized tax benefits to significantly change in the next 12 months.

The Company recognizes interest and/or penalties related to income tax matters in income tax expense.
The Company did not have any amounts accrued for interest and/or penalties at December 31, 2017 and
2016, respectively.

Members’ Equity: After considering the Company’s need for capital and reserves, the Board of Directors
shall elect to distribute to the Company’s members dividends based upon each member’s pro rata share of
net earnings, which are allocated to the Concept Co-op’s based upon each Concept Co-op’s proportionate
share of activity conducted by Centralized Supply Chain Services, LLC. As of December 31, 2017, the
dividends were undeclared and, accordingly, were not recorded in the balance sheets or statements of
members’ equity. The Company anticipates paying out 100% of its 2017 net earnings to its members as
dividends during 2018.

The Company receives freight rebates quarterly or annually, which are distributed to the Concept Co-ops
on a quarterly or annual basis. These distributions are allocated to the Concept Co-ops based on their pro
rata share of the rebates earned by CSCS.

Subsequent Events: Management has performed an analysis of the activities and transactions subsequent
to December 31, 2017 to determine the need for any adjustments to and disclosures within the financial
statements for the period ended December 31, 2017. Management has performed their analysis through
March 27, 2018, the date the financial statements were available to be issued.

NOTE 2 - DEFERRED COMPENSATION

Effective January 1, 2010, the Company initiated a Long Term Incentive Plan with an unfunded Contribution
Credit on the behalf of certain officers to be considered deferred portions of their compensation. Awards
are to be 0% to 100% of Target based on performance against objectives identified by the Company’s
Board of Directors. Awards are granted each March for the preceding plan year ending on December 31.
The awards vest 100% on January 1 of the third plan year after the plan year for which the award was
granted. Accordingly, the awards are amortized into compensation expense evenly over a thirty-six month
period. The awards are not funded until they have vested 100%.
