REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Stockholders and the Board of Directors of The Simply Good Foods Company
Opinion on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of The Simply Good Foods Company and subsidiaries (the "Company") as of August 29, 2020 and August 31, 2019, the related consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss), stockholders’ equity, and cash flows, for the fifty-two week period ended August 29, 2020 and the fifty-three week period ended August 31, 2019, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the “financial statements”). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of August 29, 2020 and August 31, 2019, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the two years in the period ended August 29, 2020, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
We have also audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB), the Company's internal control over financial reporting as of August 29, 2020, based on criteria established in Internal Control - Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission and our report dated October 28, 2020; (June 30, 2021 as to the effects of the material weakness described in Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting (As Revised), which report expressed an adverse opinion on the Company’s internal control over financial reporting because of a material weakness).
Restatement of the 2020 and 2019 Financial Statements
As discussed in Note 2 to the financial statements, the accompanying 2020 and 2019 financial statements have been restated to correct misstatements.
Basis for Opinion
These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company's financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the PCAOB and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
Critical Audit Matters
The critical audit matters communicated below are matters arising from the current-period audit of the financial statements that were communicated or required to be communicated to the audit committee and that (1) relate to accounts or disclosures that are material to the financial statements and (2) involved our especially challenging, subjective, or complex judgments. The communication of critical audit matters does not alter in any way our opinion on the financial statements, taken as a whole, and we are not, by communicating the critical audit matters below, providing separate opinions on the critical audit matters or on the accounts or disclosures to which they relate.
Trade Promotions - Refer to Note 4 to the financial statements
Critical Audit Matter Description
The Company offers trade promotions through various programs to customers and consumers. Trade promotions include discounts, rebates, slotting, and other marketing activities. Trade promotions are recorded as a reduction to net sales with a corresponding reduction to accounts receivable at the time of revenue recognition for the underlying sale. The recognition of trade promotions requires the Company to make estimates regarding the volume of incentives that will be redeemed and their total costs. These estimates are made using various information including historical data on performance of similar trade promotional activities, current market data, and the Company's best estimates of current activity. As of August 29, 2020, the allowance for trade promotions balance, which is recorded as a reduction to accounts receivable, was approximately $25.2 million.
41
Given the subjectivity of estimating the expected promotional claims and the volume of trade promotions, performing audit procedures to evaluate whether the allowance for trade promotion balance is appropriately recorded as of August 29, 2020, required a high degree of auditor judgment and an increased extent of effort.
How the Critical Audit Matter Was Addressed in the Audit
Our auditing procedures related to the allowance for trade promotion balance included the following, among others:
• For a selection of allowances for trade promotion balances recorded as of August 29, 2020, we:
◦ Confirmed contract terms directly with the customer.
◦ Agreed contract terms from the accounting records to the promotion agreement with the customer and verified the promotion period was prior to August 30, 2020.
• We evaluated management’s ability to estimate promotional claims incurred, but not yet received for potential management bias by comparing historical promotional claims received to management’s estimates of the claims to be received.
• For a selection of customer promotional claims presented or resolved after August 29, 2020, we compared that amount to the August 29, 2020 allowance for promotion balance and traced presented or resolved deduction to a properly recorded sale.
Business Combination - Voyage Holdings, LLC and VMG Quest Blocker, Inc. - Valuation of brand and trademark and customer relationships intangible assets - Refer to Note 5 to the financial statements
Critical Audit Matter Description
The Company completed the acquisition of Voyage Holdings, LLC and VMG Quest Blocker, Inc. for $986.8 million on November 7, 2019. The Company accounted for the acquisition under the acquisition method of accounting for business combinations. Accordingly, the purchase price was allocated to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their respective fair values, including brand and trademark intangible asset of $750.0 million and customer relationship intangible asset of $115.0 million. Management estimated the fair value of the brand and trademark and customer relationship intangible assets using an income approach and the with/without method, which estimates the value using the cash flow impact in a hypothetical scenario where the customer relationships are not in place.
Given the fair value determination of brand and trademark intangible asset and customer relationship intangible asset for Voyage Holdings, LLC and VMG Quest Blocker Inc. requires management to make significant estimates and assumptions related to the forecasts of future cash flows and the selection of the discount rate, performing audit procedures to evaluate the reasonableness of these estimates and assumptions required a high degree of auditor judgment and an increased extent of effort, including the need to involve our fair value specialists.
How the Critical Audit Matter Was Addressed in the Audit
Our auditing procedures related to the forecasts of future cash flows and the selection of the discount rate included the following, among others:
• We obtained an understanding of management’s key assumptions in developing the forecast.
• We assessed the reasonableness of management's forecasts of future cash flows by comparing the projections to historical results and certain peer companies.
• We evaluated whether the estimated future cash flows were consistent with projections used by the Company, as well as evidence obtained in other areas of the audit.
• With the assistance of our fair value specialists, we evaluated the reasonableness of the discount rate by:
◦ Testing the source information underlying the determination of the discount rate and testing the mathematical accuracy of the calculation.
◦ Developing a range of independent estimates and comparing those to the discount rate selected by management.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
The Board of Directors and Shareholders of
The Simply Good Foods Company and subsidiaries
Opinion on the Financial Statements
We have audited the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss), changes in stockholders’ equity, and cash flows for the 52-weeks ended August 25, 2018 of The Simply Good Foods Company (the “Company”). In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the results of the Company’s operations and its cash flows for the 52-weeks ended August 25, 2018 in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.
Restatement of Financial Statements
As discussed in Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements, the 2018 consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss), changes in stockholders’ equity, and cash flows for the 52-weeks ended August 25, 2018 have been restated to correct misstatements.
Change in Accounting Principle
As discussed in Note 3 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company has elected to change its principle of accounting for the classification of shipping & handling costs relating to the delivery of products to customers from operating expenses to cost of sales in the 52-week period ended August 31, 2019. This change in accounting principle has been retrospectively applied to all periods presented.
Basis for Opinion
These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audit we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company's internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.
Our audit included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audit also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

1. Nature of Operations and Principles of Consolidation
Description of Business
The Simply Good Foods Company (“Simply Good Foods” or the "Company") was formed by Conyers Park Acquisition Corp. (“Conyers Park”) on March 30, 2017. On April 10, 2017, Conyers Park and NCP-ATK Holdings, Inc., among others, entered into a definitive merger agreement (the “Merger Agreement”), pursuant to which on July 7, 2017, Conyers Park merged into Simply Good Foods and as a result acquired the companies which conducted the Atkins® brand business (the “Acquisition of Atkins”). The common stock of Simply Good Foods is listed on the Nasdaq Capital Market under the symbol “SMPL.”
On August 21, 2019, the Company's wholly-owned subsidiary Simply Good Foods USA, Inc., formerly known as Atkins Nutritionals, Inc. (“Simply Good USA”) entered into a Stock and Unit Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) to acquire Quest Nutrition, LLC (“Quest”), a healthy lifestyle food company (the “Acquisition of Quest”). On November 7, 2019, pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, Simply Good USA completed the Acquisition of Quest, via Simply Good USA’s direct or indirect acquisition of 100% of the equity interests of Voyage Holdings, LLC (“Voyage Holdings”), and VMG Quest Blocker, Inc. (“Voyage Blocker” and, together with Voyage Holdings, the “Target Companies”) for a cash purchase price of approximately $ 1.0 billion (subject to customary adjustments for the Target Companies’ levels of cash, indebtedness, net working capital and transaction expenses as of the closing date).
The Simply Good Foods Company is a consumer packaged food and beverage company that aims to lead the nutritious snacking movement with trusted brands that offer a variety of convenient, innovative, great-tasting, better-for-you snacks and meal replacements. The Company’s nutritious snacking platform consists of the following core brands that specialize in providing products for consumers that follow certain nutritional philosophies, dietary approaches and/or health-and-wellness trends: Atkins® for those following a low-carb lifestyle; and Quest® for consumers seeking to partner with a brand that makes the foods they crave work for them, not against them, through a variety of protein-rich foods and beverages that also limit sugars and simple carbs. The Company distributes its products in major retail channels, primarily in North America, including grocery, club and mass merchandise, as well as through e-commerce, convenience, specialty and other channels. The Company's portfolio of nutritious snacking brands gives it a strong platform with which to introduce new products, expand distribution, and attract new consumers to its products. The Company's platform also positions it to continue to selectively pursue acquisition opportunities of brands in the nutritious snacking category.
Based on the duration and severity of economic effects from the novel coronavirus ("COVID-19") pandemic, including but not limited to stock market volatility, the potential for (i) continued increased rates of reported cases of COVID-19 (which has been referred to as a second wave), (ii) unexpected supply chain disruptions, (iii) changes to customer operations, (iv) continued or additional changes in consumer purchasing and consumption behavior beyond those evidenced to date, and (v) the closure of customer establishments, the Company remains uncertain of the ultimate effect COVID-19 could have on its business.
Basis of Presentation
The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”). The Company maintains its accounting records on a 52/53-week fiscal year, ending on the last Saturday in August.
The financial information presented within the Company's consolidated financial statements has been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). The accompanying financial statements include Consolidated Balance Sheets for the periods ended August 29, 2020 and August 31, 2019. The remaining financial statements include the fifty-two week period ended August 29, 2020, the fifty-three week period ended August 31, 2019, and the fifty-two week period ended August 25, 2018. As discussed in Note 2, Restatement of Previously Issued Consolidated Financial Statements, the consolidated financial statements have been restated to reflect certain warrants as liabilities rather than equity.
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated. Unless the context otherwise requires, “we,” “us,” “our” and the “Company” refer to Simply Good Foods and its subsidiaries on a consolidated basis.
Reclassification of Prior Year Amounts
Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation including (i) Selling expenses and Marketing expenses, which have been combined as Selling and marketing expenses on the Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income (Loss) and (ii) Other operating expense , which has been combined with General and administrative expenses on the Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income (Loss).

2. Restatement of Previously Issued Consolidated Financial Statements
On April 12, 2021, the SEC issued a statement (the “SEC Statement”) on the accounting and reporting considerations for warrants issued by special purpose acquisition companies (“SPAC”). The SEC Statement discussed certain features of warrants issued in SPAC transactions that may be common across many entities. Specifically, the SEC Statement focused in part on provisions in warrant agreements that provide for potential changes to the settlement amounts dependent upon the characteristics of the warrant holder. The SEC Statement indicated that, because the holder of a warrant is not an input into the pricing of a fixed-for-fixed option on equity shares, such provisions would preclude the warrant from being classified in equity and thus the warrant should be classified as a liability. Following consideration of the guidance in the SEC Statement, the Company concluded that its private warrants should be classified as a liability and measured at fair value at each reporting period, rather than as equity awards. Management concluded the effect of this error on the Company’s previously reported consolidated financial statements is material and, as such, the accompanying consolidated financial statements as of August 29, 2020 and August 31, 2019, and for the fifty-two week period ended August 29, 2020, the fifty-three week period ended August 31, 2019, and the fifty-two week period ended August 25, 2018, and accompanying notes thereto have been restated from the amounts previously reported to give effect to the correction of this error (the “Restatement”).
As a result of the Restatement, the Company’s private warrants (the “Private Warrants”) are now reflected as a liability measured at fair value on the Consolidated Balance Sheets, and the change in the fair value of this liability in each period is recognized as a gain or loss in the Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income (Loss). The effect of the Restatement on the Consolidated Balance Sheets as of August 29, 2020 and August 31, 2019, and Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income (Loss) and Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows for the fifty-two week period ended August 29, 2020, the fifty-three week period ended August 31, 2019, and the fifty-two week period ended August 25, 2018, are presented below. The effect of the Restatement on the August 26, 2017 stockholders’ equity balances is presented on the Consolidated Statements of Stockholders’ Equity. Further, as a result of the Restatement, previously identified immaterial adjustments have been made to the 2018 and 2019 fiscal year results. These are reflected as “other adjustments” in the restated tables below. Regarding the statement of cash flows, the adjustments presented below to net income were offset by adjustments for the same amount within non-cash operating activities, and therefore the Restatement had no effect on total net cash flows from operating, investing or financing activities for the restated periods. Additionally, see Note 15, Earnings (Loss) Per Share, for restated earnings (loss) per share amounts and Note 20, Unaudited Quarterly Financial Data, for the Restatement effects to the quarterly periods during the fifty-two week period ended August 29, 2020 and the fifty-three week period ended August 31, 2019.

3. Change in Accounting Principle
During the fourth quarter ended August 31, 2019, the Company changed its accounting principle related to the presentation of third-party delivery costs associated with shipping and handling activities previously included as operating expenses in Distribution in the Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income (Loss). The Company now presents these expenses within Cost of goods sold in the Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income (Loss). In connection with the change in accounting principle, the Company also changed its definition of shipping and handling costs to include costs paid to third-party warehouse operators associated with delivering product to a customer, previously included in General and administrative , and Depreciation and amortization of the assets at the third-party warehouse, previously included in Depreciation and amortization . Under the previous definition of shipping and handling costs, the Company only included delivery costs in Distribution . The accounting policy change was applied retrospectively to all periods presented and the Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income (Loss) reflect the effect of this accounting principle change for all periods presented. The effect of the adjustment is as follows in thousands:

4. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Use of Estimates
The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP 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 consolidated financial statements. Estimates also affect the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Business Combination
On November 7, 2019 , pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, the Company completed the Acquisition of Quest for a cash purchase price of approximately $ 1.0 billion, subject to customary post-closing adjustments. The Acquisition of Quest was accounted for using the acquisition method of accounting prescribed by ASC Topic 805, Business Combinations (“ASC 805”), whereby the results of operations, including the revenues and earnings of Quest, are included in the financial statements from the date of acquisition. Additionally, assets acquired and liabilities assumed were recognized at their fair values based on widely accepted valuation techniques in accordance with ASC Topic 820, Fair Value Measurements, as of the closing date. The process for estimating fair values requires the use of significant estimates, assumptions and judgments, including determining the timing and estimates of future cash flows and developing appropriate discount rates. ASC 805 establishes a measurement period to provide the Company with a reasonable amount of time to obtain the information necessary to identify and measure various items in a business combination and cannot extend beyond one year from the acquisition date. Measurement period adjustments are recognized in the reporting period in which the adjustments are determined and calculated as if the accounting had been completed as of acquisition date. The Company expects to complete the final fair value determination of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed as soon as practicable within the measurement period, but not to exceed one year from the acquisition date.
Fair Value Measurements
Fair value represents the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. Assets and liabilities are valued based upon observable and non-observable inputs. Valuations using Level 1 inputs are based on unadjusted quoted prices that are available in active markets for the identical assets or liabilities at the measurement date. Level 2 inputs utilize significant
54
Table of Contents
other observable inputs available at the measurement date, other than quoted prices included in Level 1. Valuations using Level 3 inputs are based on significant unobservable inputs that cannot be corroborated by observable market data and require significant judgment. There were no significant transfers between levels during any period presented.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents consist of cash on hand, deposits available on demand and other short-term, highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less. Cash equivalents are carried at cost, which approximates fair value.
Accounts Receivable, Net
Accounts receivable, net consists primarily of trade receivables, net of allowances for doubtful accounts, returns and trade promotions. The Company sells its products for cash or on credit terms, which are established in accordance with local and industry practices and typically require payment within 30 days of delivery and may allow discounts for early payment. The Company estimates an allowance for doubtful accounts based upon a review of outstanding receivables, historical collection information and an analysis of customer data. Accounts receivable are written off when determined to be uncollectible. At August 29, 2020 and August 31, 2019, the allowance for doubtful accounts was $ 0.5 million and $ 0.6 million, respectively.
Inventories
Inventories are valued at the lower of cost or net realizable value on a first-in, first-out basis, adjusted for the value of inventory that is determined to be excess, obsolete, expired or unsaleable. Obsolete inventory is reserved at 50 % for inventory four to six months from expiration, and 100 % for items within three months of expiration. Reserves are also taken for certain products or packaging materials when it is determined their cost may not be recoverable. At August 29, 2020 and August 31, 2019, the provision for obsolete inventory was $ 0.5 million and $ 0.4 million, respectively.
Property and Equipment, Net
Property and equipment, net is stated at the allocated fair value for acquired assets. Additions to property and equipment are recorded at cost and depreciated on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives. The general ranges of estimated useful lives are:
Furniture and fixtures 7 years
Computer equipment, software and website development costs 3 - 5 years
Machinery and equipment 7 years
Office equipment 3 - 5 years
Leasehold improvements are amortized over the shorter of the remaining term of the lease or the useful life of the improvement utilizing the straight-line method.
The Company performs impairment tests for Property and equipment, net when circumstances indicate that the carrying value of the asset may not be recoverable. There were no indicators of impairment in the fifty-two week period ended August 29, 2020, the fifty-three week period ended August 31, 2019, or the fifty-two week period ended August 25, 2018.
Goodwill and Intangible Assets, Net
Goodwill and Intangible assets, net result primarily from the Acquisition of Atkins and other acquisitions. Intangible assets primarily include brands and trademarks with indefinite lives and customer-related relationships with finite lives. Upon acquisition, the purchase price is first allocated to identifiable assets and liabilities, including customer-related intangible assets and trademarks, with any remaining purchase price recorded as Goodwill .
Goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets are not amortized but instead are tested for impairment at least annually, or more frequently if indicators of impairment exist. The Company conducts its annual impairment tests at the beginning of the fourth fiscal quarter. Goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets are assessed using either a qualitative or quantitative approach to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair values of the reporting units are less than their carrying amounts. The qualitative assessment evaluates factors including macro-economic conditions, industry-specific and company-specific considerations, legal and regulatory environments, and historical performance. If the Company determines that it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying value, a quantitative assessment is performed. Otherwise, no further assessment is required. The quantitative approach compares the estimated fair value of the reporting unit to its carrying amount, including goodwill. Impairment is indicated if the estimated fair value of the reporting unit is less than the carrying amount of the reporting unit, and an impairment charge is recognized for the differential.

Table of Contents
For fiscal year 2020, the Company elected to perform both qualitative and quantitative assessments of its goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets. During the fourth quarter of fiscal 2020, the Company determined there were indicators of impairment related to the SimplyProtein brand intangible asset. Therefore, the Company performed a quantitative assessment of its brand intangible asset, which indicated the fair value exceeded the carrying value, resulting in a loss on impairment of $ 3.0 million in the fifty-two week period ended August 29, 2020. There were no impairment charges related to goodwill in the fifty-two week period ended August 29, 2020. Additionally, for fiscal year 2019, we elected to perform quantitative assessments of goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets. No impairment charges related to goodwill or indefinite-lived intangibles were recognized in the fifty-three week period ended August 31, 2019.
The Company performed qualitative assessments of goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets for fiscal year 2018. The qualitative assessments determined that it was more likely than not the reporting unit, brands and trademarks had a fair value in excess of their carrying value. Accordingly, no further impairment assessment was necessary, and no impairment charges related to goodwill or indefinite-lived intangibles were recognized in the fifty-two week period ended August 25, 2018.
Finite-lived intangible assets are amortized on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives. The Company reviews for impairment indicators of finite-lived intangibles and other long-lived assets as described in the “Property and Equipment, Net” significant accounting policy.
Deferred Financing Costs and Debt Discounts
Costs incurred in obtaining long-term financing paid to parties other than creditors are considered a deferred financing cost and are amortized over the terms of the long-term financing agreements using the effective-interest method. Amounts paid to creditors are recorded as a reduction in the proceeds received by the creditor and are considered a discount on the issuance of debt.
Income Taxes
Income taxes include federal, state and foreign taxes currently payable and deferred taxes arising from temporary differences between income for financial reporting and income tax purposes. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the differences between the financial statement balances and the tax basis of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to reverse. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the fiscal year that includes the enactment date. Valuation allowances are established when necessary to reduce deferred tax assets to amounts expected to be realized.
Leases
Contracts are evaluated to determine whether they contain a lease at inception. Leases are classified as either finance leases or operating leases based on criteria in ASC Topic 842, Leases. The Company’s operating leases are generally comprised of real estate and certain equipment used in warehousing products. The Company’s finance leases are generally comprised of warehouse equipment.
Right-of-use assets and lease liabilities are recognized at the lease commencement date based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term. The majority of the Company's leases do not provide an implicit rate; therefore, the Company uses its secured incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at the lease commencement date in determining the present value of future payments for those leases. The Company's incremental borrowing rate for a lease is the rate of interest it would pay to borrow on a collateralized basis over a similar term to the lease in a similar economic environment. The Company applied incremental borrowing rates using a portfolio approach. Right-of-use assets also include any lease payments made and exclude lease incentives. Lease terms may include options to extend or terminate the lease when it is reasonably certain that the Company will exercise that option. The Company has elected not to recognize right-of-use assets and lease liabilities for short-term operating leases that have a term of one year or less.
The Company monitors for triggering events or conditions that require a reassessment of its leases. When the reassessment requires a re-measurement of the lease liability, a corresponding adjustment is made to the carrying amount of the right-of-use asset. Additionally, the Company reviewed for impairment indicators of its right-of-use assets and other long-lived assets as described in the “Property and Equipment, Net” significant accounting policy.

Warrant Accounting
The Company does not use derivative instruments to hedge exposures to cash flow, market, or foreign currency risks. The Company evaluates all of its financial instruments, including issued private placement stock purchase warrants, to determine if such instruments are derivatives or contain features that qualify as embedded derivatives, pursuant to ASC 480, Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity, and ASC 815-40, Derivatives and Hedging: Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity. The classification of derivative instruments, including whether such instruments should be recorded as liabilities or as equity, is assessed as part of this evaluation.
Prior to the Acquisition of Atkins, Conyers Park issued 13,416,667 public warrants and 6,700,000 Private Warrants. The Company assumed the Conyers Park warrants to purchase common stock in connection with the Acquisition of Atkins. As a result of the Acquisition of Atkins, the warrants issued by Conyers Park were no longer exercisable for shares of Conyers Park common stock, but were instead exercisable for common stock of the Company. All other features of the warrants were unchanged.
Each whole warrant entitles the holder to purchase one share of the Company’s common stock at a price of $ 11.50 per share. The warrants became exercisable 30 days after the completion of the Acquisition of Atkins and expire five years after that date, or earlier upon redemption or liquidation, as applicable.
The assumed 13,416,667 public warrants qualified for equity classification until the warrants were fully redeemed in fiscal 2019. The 6,700,000 Private Warrants remain outstanding, and are precluded from equity classification, being liability-classified. The Company accounts for these Private Warrants as a derivative warrant liability in accordance with ASC 815-40. Accordingly, the Company recognizes the Private Warrants as a liability at fair value and adjusts the Private Warrants to fair value at each reporting period through other income. The fair value adjustments are determined by using a Black-Scholes option-pricing methodology. The valuation is primarily based on observable market data while the related theoretical private warrant volatility assumption within the Black-Scholes model represents a Level 3 measurement within the fair value measurement hierarchy. The periodic remeasurement of the Private Warrants is reflected in Gain (loss) in fair value change of warrant liability within the Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income (Loss).
Revenue Recognition
The Company recognizes revenue when performance obligations under the terms of a contract with its customer are satisfied. The Company has determined that fulfilling and delivering products is a single performance obligation. Revenue is recognized at the point in time when the Company has satisfied its performance obligation and the customer has obtained control of the products. This generally occurs when the product is delivered to or picked up by the customer based on applicable shipping terms, which is typically within 30 days.
Revenue is measured as the amount of consideration expected to be received in exchange for fulfilled product orders, including estimates of variable consideration. The most common forms of variable consideration include trade promotions, such as consumer incentives, coupon redemptions and other marketing activities, allowances for unsaleable product, and any additional amounts where a distinct good or service cannot be identified or the value cannot be reasonably estimated. Trade promotions are recorded as a reduction to net sales with a corresponding reduction to accounts receivable at the time of revenue recognition for the underlying sale. The recognition of trade promotions requires management to make estimates regarding the volume of incentive that will be redeemed and their total cost. At August 29, 2020 and August 31, 2019, the allowance for trade promotions was $ 25.2 million and $ 10.3 million, respectively.
Estimates of variable consideration are made using various information including historical data on performance of similar trade promotional activities, market data from IRI, and the Company’s best estimate of current activity. The Company reviews these estimates regularly and makes revisions as necessary. Revisions can include changes for consideration paid to customers that lack sufficient evidence to support a distinct good or service assertion, or for which a reasonably estimable fair value cannot be determined, primarily related to the Company's assessments of cooperative advertising programs. Uncertainties related to the estimate of variable consideration are resolved in a short time frame and do not require any additional constraint on variable consideration. Adjustments to variable consideration are recognized in the period the adjustments are identified and have historically been insignificant. Revenue is recognized net of any taxes collected from customers and subsequently remitted to governmental authorities.
The Company provides standard assurance type warranties that its products will comply with all agreed-upon specifications. No services beyond an assurance type warranty are provided to customers. While customers generally have a right to return defective or non-conforming products, past experience has demonstrated that product returns have been immaterial. Customer remedies for defective or non-conforming products may include a refund or exchange. As a result, the right of return is estimated and recorded as a reduction in revenue at the time of sale, if necessary.
The Company's customer contracts identify product quantity, price and payment terms. Payment terms are granted consistent with industry standards. Although some payment terms may be more extended, the majority of the Company's payment terms are less than 60

days. As a result, revenue is not adjusted for the effects of a significant financing component. Amounts billed and due from customers are classified as Accounts receivable, net on the Consolidated Balance Sheets.
The Company utilizes third-party contract manufacturers for the manufacture of its products. The Company has evaluated whether the it is the principal or agent in these relationships. The Company has determined that it is the principal in all cases, as it maintains the responsibility for fulfillment, risk of loss and establishes the price.
In accordance with ASC Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, the Company has elected the practical expedient to expense the incremental costs to obtain a contract, because the amortization period would be less than one year, and the practical expedient for shipping and handling costs. Shipping and handling costs incurred to deliver products to customers are accounted for as fulfillment activities, rather than a promised service, and as such are included in Cost of goods sold in the Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income (Loss).
Revenues from transactions with external customers for each of the Company's products would be impracticable to disclose and management does not view its business by product line. For revenue disaggregated by geographic area and brand refer to Note 18, Segment and Customer Information.

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements
In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842). The standard requires lessees to recognize the assets and liabilities that arise from leases on the balance sheet. A lessee should recognize in the statement of financial position a liability to make lease payments (the lease liability) and a right-of-use asset representing its right to use the underlying asset for the lease term. In July 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-11, Leases (Topic 842): Targeted Improvements. ASU 2018-11 provides entities another option for transition, allowing entities to not apply the new standard in the comparative periods they present in their financial statements in the year of adoption. The amendments provide the option for the ASU to be applied at the beginning of the period adopted using a modified retrospective approach with earlier application permitted as of the beginning of an interim or annual reporting period.
On September 1, 2019, the Company adopted ASU No. 2016-02 using the alternative transition method under ASU No. 2018-11, which permits application of the new lease guidance at the beginning of the period of adoption, with comparative periods continuing to be reporting under Topic 840. Upon adoption, the Company recorded the following within the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets: operating lease right-of-use assets of $ 5.1 million included within Other long-term assets, current operating lease liabilities of $ 2.0 million included within Accrued expenses and other current liabilities, long-term operating lease liabilities of $ 3.8 million included within Other

long-term liabilities, finance lease right-of-use assets of $ 1.2 million included within Property and equipment, net, current finance lease liabilities of $ 0.2 million included within Current maturities of long term debt, and long-term finance lease liabilities of $ 1.0 million included within Long-term debt less current maturities . Following the Acquisition of Quest, the Company recorded the following amounts in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets as of the closing date on November 7, 2019: operating lease right-of-use assets of $ 21.1 million included within Other long-term assets, current operating lease liabilities of $ 2.0 million included within Accrued expenses and other current liabilities, and long-term operating lease liabilities of $ 18.9 million included within Other long-term liabilities. The adoption of these ASUs did not result in a cumulative-effect adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings.
The guidance provided a number of optional practical expedients in adoption. The Company elected to adopt the package of practical expedients permitted under the transition guidance within the standard, which among other things, permits it to not reassess prior conclusions about lease identification, lease classification and initial direct costs under the new standard. The Company did not elect the use-of-hindsight practical expedient or the practical expedient pertaining to land easements, the latter not being applicable. Additionally, the Company elected to include both lease and non-lease components as a single component for all asset classes in which the Company is the lessee. For additional information regarding leases, refer to Note 12.
In June 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-07, Compensation - Stock Compensation (Topic 718), Improvements to Nonemployee Share-Based Payment Accounting. This ASU simplifies aspects of share-based compensation issued to non-employees by aligning the guidance with accounting for employee share-based compensation. The Company adopted this ASU as of the first day of fiscal 2020. The adoption of this ASU did not have a material effect on the consolidated financial statements.
In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-15, Intangibles-Goodwill and Other-Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40), Customer's Accounting for Implementation Costs Incurred in a Cloud Computing Arrangement that is a Service Contract, which aligns the requirements for capitalizing implementation costs incurred in a hosting arrangement that is a service contract with the requirements for capitalizing implementation costs incurred to develop or obtain internal-use software. The Company adopted this ASU as of the first day of fiscal 2020. The adoption of this ASU did not have a material effect on the consolidated financial statements.
5. Business Combination
On August 21, 2019 , Simply Good USA entered into the Purchase Agreement with VMG Voyage Holdings, LLC, VMG Tax-Exempt II, L.P., Voyage Employee Holdings, LLC, and other sellers defined in the Purchase Agreement. On November 7, 2019 , pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, Simply Good USA completed the Acquisition of Quest for a cash purchase price at closing of $ 988.9 million subject to customary post-closing adjustments.
Simply Good USA acquired Quest as a part of the Company's vision to lead the nutritious snacking movement with trusted brands that offer a variety of convenient, innovative, great-tasting, better-for-you snacks and meal replacements. Quest is a healthy lifestyle food company offering a variety of bars, cookies, chips, ready-to-drink shakes and pizzas that compete in many of the attractive, fast growing sub-segments within the nutritional snacking category.
The Acquisition of Quest was funded by the Company through a combination of cash, equity and debt financing. Total consideration paid on the closing date was $ 988.9 million. Cash sources of funding included $ 195.3 million of cash on hand, net proceeds of approximately $ 350.0 million from an underwritten public offering of common stock, and $ 443.6 million in new term loan debt. In the third fiscal quarter of 2020, the Company received a post-closing release from escrow of approximately $ 2.1 million related to net working capital adjustments, resulting in a total net consideration paid of $ 986.8 million as of August 29, 2020. Business transaction costs within the Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income (Loss) for fifty-two week period ended August 29, 2020 was $ 27.1 million, which included $ 14.5 million of transaction advisory fees related to the Acquisition of Quest, $ 3.2 million of banker commitment fees, $ 6.1 million of non-deferrable debt issuance costs related to the incremental term loan, and $ 3.3 million of other costs, including legal, due diligence, and accounting fees.
Included in the transaction advisory fees paid for the Acquisition of Quest is $ 12.0 million paid to Centerview Partners LLC, an investment banking firm that served as the lead financial advisor to the Company for this transaction. Three members of the Company’s Board of Directors, Messrs. Kilts, West, and Ratzan, have business relationships with certain partners of Centerview Partners LLC (including relating to Centerview Capital Consumer, a private equity firm and affiliate of Conyers Park Sponsor LLC), but they are not themselves partners, executives or employees of Centerview Partners LLC, and Centerview Partners LLC is not a related party of the Company pursuant to applicable rules and policies. The advisory fee paid to Centerview Partners LLC represents approximately 1.2 % of the total cash purchase price paid by the Company on the closing date of the Acquisition of Quest. All transaction advisory fees relating to the Acquisition of Quest were approved by the Company’s Audit Committee.
The following table sets forth the preliminary purchase price allocation of the Acquisition of Quest to the estimated fair value of the net assets acquired at the date of acquisition. The preliminary purchase price allocation may be adjusted as a result of the finalization of the Company’s purchase price allocation procedures related to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed.

Total assets acquired and liabilities assumed $ 986,820
(1) Property and equipment, net primarily consists of leasehold improvements for the Quest headquarters of $ 6.9 million, furniture and fixtures of $ 2.2 million, and equipment of $ 0.7 million. The Quest headquarters lease ends in April 2029. The useful lives of the leasehold improvements, furniture and fixtures, and equipment is consistent with the Company's accounting policies.
(2) Intangible assets were recorded at fair value consistent with ASC 820 as a result of the Acquisition of Quest. Intangible assets consist of $ 750.0 million of indefinite brand and trademark, $ 115.0 million of amortizable customer relationships, and $ 3.4 million of internally developed software. The useful lives of the intangible assets are disclosed in Note 7 of the consolidated financial statements. The fair value measurement of the assets and liabilities was based on significant inputs not observable in the market and thus represent Level 3 measurements within the fair value measurement hierarchy. Level 3 fair market values were determined using a variety of information, including estimated future cash flows and market comparable data and companies. The fair values of the intangible assets were estimated using inputs primarily from the income approach and the with/without method, which estimates the value using the cash flow impact in a hypothetical scenario where the customer relationships are not in place. The significant assumptions used in estimating the fair value of the intangible assets include the estimated life the asset will contribute to cash flows, profitability, and the estimated discount rate.
(3) Primarily as a result of the fair value attributable to the identifiable intangible assets, the deferred income tax liability was $ 10.8 million.
(4) Goodwill was recorded at fair value consistent with ASC 820 as a result of the Acquisition of Quest. Amounts recorded for goodwill created in an acquisition structured as a stock purchase for tax are generally not expected to be deductible for tax purposes. Amounts recorded for goodwill resulting in a tax basis step-up are generally expected to be deductible for tax purposes. Tax deductible Goodwill is estimated to be $ 67.7 million. Goodwill represents the future economic benefits arising from other assets acquired that could not be individually identified and separately recognized.
The final determination of the fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed is expected to be completed in the first fiscal quarter of 2021. Since the initial preliminary estimates reported in the first fiscal quarter of 2020, the Company has updated certain amounts reflected in the preliminary purchase price allocation, as summarized in the fair values of assets acquired and liabilities assumed as set forth above. Specifically, the carrying amount of the intangible assets, net were increased by $ 20.0 million as a result of valuation adjustments related to the Company's finalization of tax attributes, which also resulted in a decrease to deferred income taxes of $ 3.2 million. Additionally, accounts receivable, net decreased $ 3.1 million and inventories increased $ 0.9 million due to fair value measurement period adjustments, and the carrying amount of property and equipment, net decreased by $ 0.5 million to reflect its estimated fair value. As a result of these adjustments and the change in total net consideration paid of approximately $ 2.1 million related to net working capital adjustments discussed above, goodwill has decreased $ 22.7 million.
Measurement period adjustments are recognized in the reporting period in which the adjustments are determined and calculated as if the accounting had been completed at the acquisition date. The final fair value determination of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed will be completed prior to one year from the transaction completion, consistent with ASC 805.

Unaudited Pro Forma Financial Information
Pro forma financial information is not intended to represent or be indicative of the actual results of operations of the combined business that would have been reported had the Acquisition of Quest been completed at the beginning of the fiscal year 2019, nor is it representative of future operating results of the Company.
This unaudited pro forma combined financial information is prepared based on Article 11 of Regulation S-X period end guidance. The Company and the legacy Quest entity have different fiscal year ends, with Simply Good Foods’ fiscal year being the last Saturday of August while the legacy Quest business fiscal year end was December 31. Because the year ends differ by more than 93 days, Quest's financial information is required to be adjusted to a period within 93 days of Simply Good Foods’ fiscal period end. For the purposes of preparing the unaudited pro forma combined financial information for the fifty-three week period ended August 31, 2019, the Company added Quest’s unaudited consolidated statement of operations for the six months ended June 30, 2019 to Quest's unaudited consolidated statement of operations for the six months ended December 31, 2018, which was derived by deducting the historical unaudited consolidated statement of operations for the six months ended June 30, 2018, from the unaudited consolidated statement of operations for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2018.
In addition to the above period end adjustments, the pro forma results include certain adjustments, as required under ASC 805, which are different than Article 11 pro forma requirements. ASC 805 requires pro forma adjustments to reflect the effects of fair value adjustments, transaction costs, capital structure changes, the tax effects of such adjustments, and also requires nonrecurring adjustments be prepared as though the Acquisition of Quest had occurred as of the beginning of the earliest period presented. The adjustments to the historical Quest financial results include the exclusion of legacy derivatives and interest expense that were settled in the execution of the Acquisition of Quest. Additional adjustments include non-recurring transaction costs and the portion of the inventory fair value adjustment recorded by the Company during the fifty-two week period ended August 29, 2020. Both periods were further adjusted to reflect a full period of (a) fair value adjustments related to inventory and incremental customer relationship amortization, (b) interest expense with the higher principal and interest rates associated with the Company's new term loan debt incurred to finance, in part, the Acquisition of Quest, and (c) the effects of the adjustments on income taxes and net income. The pro forma combined financial information includes the fair value adjustments of the liability-classified Private Warrants.

The Company performed the first step of the quantitative goodwill impairment assessment by comparing the fair value of each of the Company’s reporting units to its carrying amount, including goodwill. The goodwill impairment assessment was performed for each reporting unit that had goodwill, which consisted of both of the Company’s operating segments, Atkins and Quest. The estimated fair values of the Atkins and Quest reporting units substantially exceeded their carrying values. Therefore, the Company determined neither reporting unit was impaired. The change in Goodwill during the fifty-two week period ended August 29, 2020 was the result of the acquisition method of accounting related to the Acquisition of Quest as described in Note 5. There were no changes in the Company's goodwill in the fifty-three week period ended August 31, 2019. There were no impairment charges related to goodwill in the fifty-two week period ended August 29, 2020 or since the inception of the Company.

Intangible assets, net changed due to the Acquisition of Quest, amortization expense, and an impairment loss related to brand and trademark intangible assets. During the fourth quarter of fiscal 2020, the Company determined there were indicators of impairment related to the SimplyProtein brand intangible asset.

As security for the payment or performance of its debt, the Company has pledged certain equity interests in its subsidiaries.
On March 16, 2018 (the “Amendment Date”), the Company entered into an amendment (the “Repricing Amendment”) to the Credit Agreement. As a result of the Repricing Amendment, the interest rate on the Term Loan was reduced and, as of the Amendment Date, such loans had an interest rate equal to, at the Company's option, either LIBOR plus an applicable margin of 3.50 % or a base rate plus an applicable margin of 2.50 %. The Repricing Amendment did not change the interest rate on the Revolving Credit Facility. The Revolving Credit Facility continued to bear interest based upon the Company's consolidated net leverage ratio as of the last financial statements delivered to the administrative agent. No additional debt was incurred, or any proceeds received, by the Company in connection with the Repricing Amendment. The incremental fees paid to the administrative agent are reflected as additional debt discount and are amortized over the terms of the long-term financing agreements using the effective-interest method.
On November 7, 2019, the Company entered into an amendment (the “Incremental Facility Amendment”) to the Credit Agreement to increase the principal borrowed on the Term Facility by $ 460.0 million. The Term Facility together with the incremental borrowing make up the Initial Term Loans (as defined in the Incremental Facility Amendment) and as of the Amendment No. 2 Effective Date (as defined in the Incremental Facility Amendment), the Initial Term Loans bear interest at a rate equal to, at the Company's option, either LIBOR plus an applicable margin of 3.75 % or a base rate plus an applicable margin of 2.75 %. The Incremental Facility Amendment was executed to partially finance the Acquisition of Quest. No amounts under the Term Facility were repaid as a result of the execution of the Incremental Facility Amendment.
During the third fiscal quarter of 2020, the Company borrowed $ 25.0 million under the Revolving Credit Facility. This was a precautionary measure to preserve financial flexibility and to maintain liquidity in response to the spread of COVID-19 and uncertainty around consumer behavior. The Company used the proceeds of the Revolving Credit Facility to meet initial elevated customer orders in response to COVID-19, build finished goods inventory of some of its high velocity items, support working capital and support general corporate purposes. In the fourth fiscal quarter of 2020, the Company repaid the $ 25.0 million borrowing under the Revolving Credit Facility. The Company may repay borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility at any time without penalty. As of August 29, 2020 and August 31, 2019, there were no amounts drawn against the Revolving Credit Facility.
The Credit Agreement contains certain financial and other covenants that limit the Company’s ability to, among other things, incur and/or undertake asset sales and other dispositions, liens, indebtedness, certain acquisitions and investments, consolidations, mergers, reorganizations and other fundamental changes, payment of dividends and other distributions to equity and warrant holders, and prepayments of material subordinated debt, in each case, subject to customary exceptions materially consistent with credit facilities of such type and size. The Revolving Credit Facility has a maximum total net leverage ratio equal to or less than 6.25 :1.00 (with a reduction to 6.00 :1.00 on the third anniversary of the closing date of the credit facilities) contingent on credit extensions in excess of 30 % of the total amount of commitments available under the Revolving Credit Facility. Any failure to comply with the restrictions of the credit facilities may result in an event of default. The Company was in compliance with all financial covenants as of August 29, 2020 and August 31, 2019, respectively.

The Company is no t required to make principal payments on the Term Facility over the twelve months following the period ended August 29, 2020.
As of August 29, 2020, the Company had letters of credit in the amount of $ 5.9 million outstanding. These letters of credit offset against the availability of the Revolving Credit Facility. These letters of credit exist to support three of the Company's leased buildings and insurance programs relating to workers' compensation. No amounts were drawn against these letters of credit at August 29, 2020.
The Company utilizes market approaches to estimate the fair value of certain outstanding borrowings by discounting anticipated future cash flows derived from the contractual terms of the obligations and observable market interest and foreign exchange rates. The Company carries debt at historical cost and discloses fair value. As of August 29, 2020 and August 31, 2019, the book value of the Company’s debt approximated fair value. The estimated fair value of the Term Loan is valued based on observable inputs and classified as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy.
10. Fair Value of Financial Instruments
Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. To increase the comparability of fair value measurements, a three-tier fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in the valuation methodologies, is as follows:
Level 1 – Valuations based on quoted prices for identical assets and liabilities in active markets.
Level 2 – Valuations based on observable inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets and liabilities in markets that are not active, or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data.
Level 3 – Valuations based on unobservable inputs reflecting the Company’s own assumptions, consistent with reasonably available assumptions made by other market participants. These valuations require significant judgment.
A loss of $ 0.5 million and a benefit of $ 2.8 million was charged to the Loss (gain) in fair value change of contingent consideration - TRA liability for the fifty-three week period ended August 31, 2019 and fifty-two week period ended August 25, 2018, respectively. The Company settled the Income Tax Receivable Agreement (the “TRA”) during the fifty-three week period ended August 31, 2019, which resulted in a $ 1.5 million gain. Refer to Note 11, Income Taxes, for additional details regarding the TRA liability settlement.
Level 3 Measurements
The Company has outstanding liability-classified Private Warrants that allow holders to purchase 6,700,000 shares of the Company’s common stock. Such Private Warrants are held by Conyers Park Sponsor, LLC, a related party. The Company utilizes the Black-Scholes valuation model to estimate the fair value of the Private Warrants at each reporting date. The application of the Black-Scholes model utilizes significant assumptions, including volatility. Significant judgment is required in determining the expected volatility (the key assumption) of the Private Warrants. In order to determine the most accurate measure of this volatility, the Company measured expected volatility based on several inputs, including considering a peer group of publicly traded companies, the Company’s implied volatility based on traded options, the implied volatility of comparable SPAC warrants, and the implied volatility of any outstanding Public Warrants during the periods they were outstanding. As a result of the unobservable inputs that were used to determine the expected volatility of the Private Warrants, the fair value measurement of these warrants reflects a Level 3 measurement within the fair value measurement hierarchy.

The periodic remeasurement of the warrant liability is reflected in Gain (loss) in fair value change of warrant liability within the Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income (Loss). The adjustments for the fifty-two week period ended August 29, 2020, the fifty-three week period ended August 31, 2019, and the fifty-two week period ended August 25, 2018 were a gain of $ 30.9 million, a loss of $ 72.7 million and a loss of $ 34.4 million, respectively. The adjustments resulted in a total warrant liability at August 29, 2020 and August 31, 2019 of $ 93.6 million and $ 124.6 million, respectively.
There were 6,700,000 Private Warrants outstanding as of August 29, 2020, August 31, 2019, and August 25, 2018. Based on the fair value assessment that was performed, the Company determined a fair value price per Private Warrant of $ 13.98 , $ 18.59 , and $ 7.75 as of August 29, 2020, August 31, 2019, and August 25, 2018, respectively.

The comparability of the Company's operating results of fiscal 2018 as compared to subsequent fiscal years 2019 and 2020 was effected by the U.S. Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 (the “Tax Act”), which was enacted on December 22, 2017. The Tax Act introduced significant changes to U.S. income tax law including reducing the U.S. federal statutory tax rate from 35% to 21% and imposing new taxes on certain foreign-sourced earnings and certain intercompany payments. Due to the timing of the enactment and the complexity involved in applying the provisions of the Tax Act, the Company made reasonable estimates of the effects and recorded provisional amounts in its financial statements as of fiscal 2018 in accordance with SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 118 (“SAB 118”). During the period ended February 23, 2019, the Company completed its accounting for the Tax Act with no material adjustment to the provisional estimates recorded.
For the Global Intangible Low-Taxed Income (“GILTI”) provisions of the Tax Act, the Company completed its assessment during the second quarter of 2019 and, effective August 26, 2018, elected an accounting policy to record GILTI as period costs if and when

incurred. Additionally, the Company concluded that it had not met the threshold requirements of the base erosion and anti-abuse tax. Although the measurement period has closed, further technical guidance related to the Tax Act, including final regulations on a broad range of topics, is expected to be issued. In accordance with ASC 740, the Company will recognize any effects of the guidance in the period that such guidance is issued.

The Company had state net operating loss carryforwards of $ 11.9 million and $ 12.2 million and foreign net operating losses of $ 12.8 million and $ 14.2 million at August 29, 2020 and August 31, 2019, respectively. The state net operating loss carryforwards will begin to expire in 2021.
As of August 29, 2020, the Company has recorded total valuation allowances of $ 3.2 million, of which $ 2.9 million relates to valuation allowances on deferred tax assets related to foreign net operating loss carryforwards. The majority of this amount represents a full valuation allowance on the deferred tax assets of foreign entities within the United Kingdom, Netherlands, and Spain. Of the valuation allowance on deferred tax assets, $ 0.3 million relates to state net operating losses.
During the fifty-two week period ended August 29, 2020, there was a $ 1.4 million decrease to the tax loss carryforwards in foreign jurisdictions. As the carryforwards were generated in jurisdictions where the Company has historically recognized book losses or does not have strong future earnings projections, the Company concluded it is more likely than not that the operating losses would not be realized, and thus maintained a full valuation allowance against the associated deferred tax assets.
During the fifty-two week period ended August 29, 2020, the Company changed its intentions and determined to not indefinitely reinvest its foreign earnings within its subsidiaries in the United Kingdom, Spain, and Canada. The change in assertion did not result in recognition of tax liabilities related to these jurisdictions. It is the Company’s intention to reinvest the earnings of its other non-U.S. subsidiaries in those operations. As of August 29, 2020, the Company has not made a provision for U.S. or additional foreign withholding taxes for any outside basis differences inherent in its investments in foreign subsidiaries that are indefinitely reinvested. It is not practicable to estimate the amount of deferred tax liability related to investments in these foreign subsidiaries.
As of August 29, 2020 and August 31, 2019, the Company has no unrecognized tax benefits.

Table of Contents
The Company records interest and penalties associated with unrecognized tax benefits as a component of tax expense. As of August 29, 2020 and August 31, 2019, the Company has no t accrued interest or penalties on unrecognized tax benefits, as there is no position recorded as of these fiscal years. No changes to the uncertain tax position balance are anticipated within the next 12 months, and are not expected to materially affect the financial statements.
As of August 29, 2020, tax years 2014 to 2019 remain subject to examination in the United States and the tax years 2014 to 2019 remain subject to examination in other major foreign jurisdictions where the Company conducts business. State income tax returns are generally subject to examination for a period of three to five years after the filing of the respective return.
Tax Receivable Agreement
Concurrent with the Acquisition of Atkins, the Company entered into the TRA with the historical stockholders of Atkins. The TRA was valued based on the future expected payments under the terms of the agreement. The TRA provides for the payment by Simply Good Foods to the Atkins’ selling equity holders for certain federal, state, local and non-U.S. tax benefits deemed realized in post-closing taxable periods by Simply Good Foods, Conyers Park, Atkins and Atkins’ eligible subsidiaries from the use of up to $ 100 million of the following tax attributes: (i) net operating losses available to be carried forward as of the closing of the Acquisition of Atkins, (ii) certain deductions generated by the consummation of the business transaction and (iii) remaining depreciable tax basis from the 2003 acquisition of Atkins Nutritionals, Inc.
The Company re-measured the TRA in the second fiscal quarter of 2018 due to the Tax Act. The second quarter assessment of these changes resulted in a provisional one-time gain of $ 4.7 million, recognized in Loss (gain) in fair value change of contingent consideration - TRA liability .
During the first fiscal quarter of 2019, the Company entered into a termination agreement (the “Termination Agreement”) with Atkins Holdings, LLC and Roark Capital Acquisition, LLC. Pursuant to the Termination Agreement, the Company paid $ 26.5 million to settle the TRA in full. Under the Termination Agreement, each of the parties thereto agreed to terminate the TRA and to release any and all obligations and liabilities of the other parties thereunder effective as of the receipt of the termination payment. The Company recorded a $ 0.5 million loss on the fair value change in the TRA liability through the settlement on November 14, 2018 and recognized a gain of $ 1.5 million in connection with the execution of the Termination Agreement and final cash payment.
12. Leases

13. Commitments and Contingencies
Litigation
The Company is a party to certain litigation and claims that are considered normal to the operations of the business. From time to time, the Company has been and may again become involved in legal proceedings arising in the ordinary course of business. The Company is not presently a party to any litigation that it believes to be material, and the Company is not aware of any pending or threatened litigation against it that its management believes could have a material adverse effect on its business, operating result, financial condition or cash flows.
During the fifty-three week period ended August 31, 2019, the Company reserved $ 3.5 million for the potential settlement of class action litigation concerning certain product label claims.

These contracts contain endorsement fees, which are expensed ratably over the life of the contract, and performance fees, that are recognized at the time of achievement. Based on the terms of the contracts in place and achievement of performance conditions as of August 29, 2020 the Company will be required to make payments of $ 2.9 million over the next year.
14. Stockholders’ Equity
Public Equity Offering
On October 9, 2019, the Company completed an underwritten public offering of 13,379,205 shares of common stock at a price to the public of $ 26.35 per share.

The Company paid $ 0.8 million for legal, accounting and registrations fees related to the Offering. The net proceeds were used to pay a portion of the purchase price and related fees and expenses for the Acquisition of Quest.

Warrants to Purchase Common Stock
Prior to the Acquisition of Atkins, Conyers Park issued 13,416,667 public warrants and 6,700,000 Private Warrants. The Company assumed the Conyers Park warrants to purchase common stock in connection with the Acquisition of Atkins. As a result of the Acquisition of Atkins, the warrants issued by Conyers Park were no longer exercisable for shares of Conyers Park common stock, but were instead exercisable for common stock of the Company. All other features of the warrants were unchanged.
Each whole warrant entitles the holder to purchase one share of the Company’s common stock at a price of $ 11.50 per share. The warrants became exercisable 30 days after the completion of the Acquisition of Atkins in 2017 and expire five years after that date, or earlier upon redemption or liquidation, as applicable.
From August 26, 2018 through October 5, 2018, public warrants to purchase an aggregate of 9,866,451 shares of the Company’s common stock were exercised for cash at an exercise price of $ 11.50 per share, resulting in aggregate gross proceeds to the Company of $ 113.5 million.
On October 4, 2018, the Company delivered a notice for the redemption (the “Redemption Notice”) of all of its public warrants that remained unexercised immediately after November 5, 2018. Exercises of public warrants following the Redemption Notice were required to be done on a cashless basis. Accordingly, holders were no longer permitted to exercise public warrants in exchange for payment in cash of $ 11.50 per share. Instead, a holder exercising a public warrant was deemed to have paid the $ 11.50 per share exercise price by the surrender of 0.61885 of a share of common stock that the holder would have been entitled to receive upon a cash exercise of each public warrant. Exercising holders received 0.38115 of a share of the Company’s common stock for each public warrant surrendered for exercise. Following the Redemption Notice, 3,499,639 public warrants were exercised on a cashless basis. An aggregate of 1,333,848 shares of the Company’s common stock were issued in connection with these exercises of the public warrants. All remaining public warrants were redeemed as of November 5, 2018 for an immaterial amount.
The Private Warrants to purchase 6,700,000 shares of the Company's common stock remain outstanding, have not been transferred by Conyers Park Sponsor, LLC, a related party, and remain liability-classified. As discussed in Note 10, the liability-classified warrants are remeasured on a recurring basis, primarily based on observable market data while the related theoretical private warrant volatility assumption within the Black-Scholes model represents a Level 3 measurement within the fair value measurement hierarchy. The periodic remeasurement of the warrant liability is reflected in Gain (loss) in fair value change of warrant liability within the Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income (Loss).
Stock Repurchase Program
On November 13, 2018, the Company announced that its Board of Directors had adopted a $ 50.0 million stock repurchase program. Under the stock repurchase program, the Company may repurchase shares from time to time in the open market or in privately negotiated transactions. The stock repurchase program does not obligate the Company to acquire any specific number of shares or acquire shares over any specific period of time. The stock repurchase program may be suspended or discontinued at any time by the Company, and does not have an expiration date.
During the fifty-two week period ended August 29, 2020, the Company did not repurchase any shares of common stock. During the fifty-three week period ended August 31, 2019, the Company repurchased 98,234 shares of common stock at an average share price of $ 21.83 per share. As of August 29, 2020, approximately $ 47.9 million remained available under the stock repurchase program.
15. Earnings (Loss) Per Share
Basic earnings or loss per share is based on the weighted average number of common shares issued and outstanding. In computing diluted earnings per share, basic earnings per share is adjusted for the assumed issuance of all potentially dilutive securities. In periods in which the Company has a net loss, diluted earnings per share is based on the weighted average number of common shares issued and outstanding as the effect of including common stock equivalents outstanding would be antidilutive.
The Company has outstanding liability-classified Private Warrants to purchase 6,700,000 shares of the Company’s common stock. During periods when the effect is dilutive, the Company assumes share settlement of the instruments as of the beginning of the reporting period and adjusts the numerator to remove the change in fair value of the warrant liability and adjusts the denominator to include the dilutive shares, calculated using the treasury stock method. During periods when the impact is antidilutive, the share settlement is excluded.

16. Omnibus Incentive Plan
Stock-based compensation includes stock options, restricted stock unit, performance stock unit awards and stock appreciation rights, which are awarded to employees, directors, and consultants of the Company. Stock-based compensation expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period of the award based on their grant date fair value. Stock-based compensation expense is included within General and administrative expense, which is the same financial statement caption where the recipient’s other compensation is reported.
The Company recorded stock-based compensation expense of $ 7.6 million in the fifty-two week period ended August 29, 2020, $ 5.5 million in the fifty-three week period ended August 31, 2019, and $ 4.0 million in the fifty-two week period ended August 25, 2018 .
In July 2017, the Company's stockholders approved the 2017 Omnibus Incentive Plan (the “Incentive Plan”). The Incentive Plan provides for the issuance of a maximum of 9,067,917 shares of stock-denominated awards to directors, employees, officers and agents of the Company. As of August 29, 2020, there were 5.2 million shares available for grant under the Incentive Plan.
Stock Options
Stock options granted under the Incentive Plan are granted at a price equal to or more than the fair value of common stock on the date the option is granted. Stock options under the Incentive Plan generally become exercisable ratably over three years from the date of grant and must be exercised within ten years from the date of grant.

The fair value of each option grant is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes Option Pricing Model based on the following assumptions:
52-Weeks Ended 53-Weeks Ended 52-Weeks Ended
August 29, 2020 August 31, 2019 August 25, 2018
Expected volatility 30.27 % - 33.82 % 29.30 % - 32.09 % 26.72 % - 27.50 %
Expected dividend yield — % — % — %
Expected option term 6 6 6
Risk-free rate of return 0.38 % - 1.8 % 1.82 % - 3.13 % 1.98 % - 2.79 %
Expected term is estimated using the simplified method, which takes into account vesting and contractual term. The simplified method is being used to calculate expected term instead of historical experience due to a lack of relevant historical data resulting from changes in option vesting schedules and changes in the pool of employees receiving option grants. Due to a lack of sufficient trading history for the Company's common stock, expected stock price volatility is based on a sampling of comparable publicly traded companies. The Company believes a sample of comparable publicly traded companies most closely models the nature of the business and stock price volatility. The risk-free rates are based on the implied yield available on U.S. Treasury zero-coupon issues with an equivalent remaining term. Future annual dividends over the expected term are estimated to be nil .
As of August 29, 2020, $ 2.3 million of total unrecognized compensation cost related to stock option plans that will be recognized over a weighted average period of 1.6 years. During the fifty-two week period ended August 29, 2020, fifty-three week period ended August 31, 2019, and fifty-two week period ended August 25, 2018, the Company received $ 4.2 million, $ 0.7 million, and $ 0.1 million in cash from stock option exercises, respectively.

In the first quarter of fiscal 2018, pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement, Simply Good Foods paid a working capital adjustment of $ 1.8 million to the former owners of Atkins, which resulted in an increase to the previously recognized goodwill.
18. Segment and Customer Information
Following the Acquisition of Quest, the Company's operations are organized into two operating segments, Atkins and Quest, which are aggregated into one reporting segment due to similar financial, economic and operating characteristics. The operating segments are also similar in the following areas: (a) the nature of the products; (b) the nature of the production processes; (c) the methods used to distribute products to customers; (d) the type of customer for the products; and, (e) the nature of the regulatory environment.

19. Restructuring and Related Charges
In May 2020, the Company announced certain restructuring activities in conjunction with the implementation of the Company’s future-state organization design, which creates a fully integrated organization with its completed Acquisition of Quest. The new organization design became effective on August 31, 2020. These restructuring plans primarily include workforce reductions and changes in management structure.
The one-time termination benefits and employee severance costs to be incurred in relation to these restructuring activities are accounted for in accordance with ASC Topic 420, Exit or Disposal Cost Obligations, and ASC Topic 712, Compensation-Nonretirement Postemployment Benefits, respectively. The Company recognizes a liability and the related expense for these restructuring costs when the liability is incurred and can be measured. Restructuring accruals are based upon management estimates at the time and can change depending upon changes in facts and circumstances subsequent to the date the original liability was recorded.
For the fifty-two week period ended August 29, 2020, the Company incurred $ 5.5 million of costs for these restructuring activities which have been included within General and administrative on the Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income (Loss). Overall, the Company expects to incur a total of approximately $ 8.1 million in restructuring costs, including the $ 5.5 million referenced above. The one-time termination benefits and employee severance costs are to be paid throughout fiscal 2021 and the first quarter of fiscal 2022.

(1) During the fifty-three weeks period ended August 31, 2019, certain reclassifications were made to previously reported amounts to conform to the current presentation. On the consolidated statement of operations, inbound freight previously included in Distribution, distribution center expenses previously included in General and administrative , and depreciation for equipment used in warehouse operations were reclassified to Cost of goods sold . Including these expenses in Cost of goods sold better aligned costs with the related revenue. As a result, the first three quarters of fiscal year 2019 have been adjusted on a retrospective basis to reflect the reclassification. For additional information on the change in accounting principle, see Note 3.
Earnings per common share amounts are computed independently for each of the quarters presented. Therefore, the sum of the quarterly earnings per share amounts may not equal the quarterly earnings per share amounts or the annual earnings per share amounts due to rounding. The restated amounts presented above are inclusive of fair market value adjustments, disclosed in detail below.
Restatement of previously issued Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements
In lieu of filing amended Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q, the following tables represent the Company’s restated unaudited consolidated financial statements for each of the fiscal quarters during the fiscal years ended August 29, 2020 and August 31, 2019. Regarding the statement of cash flows, the adjustments presented below to net income were offset by adjustments for the same amount within non-cash operating activities, and therefore the Restatement had no effect on total net cash flows from operating, investing or financing activities for the restated periods. See Note 2, Restatement of Previously Issued Consolidated Financial Statements, for additional information.
The restated consolidated financial statement tables present a reconciliation from prior periods, as previously reported, to the restated amounts. The amounts as previously reported were derived from the Company’s Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for the interim periods of 2020 and 2019 and from the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended August 29, 2020.

21. Subsequent Events
Effective September 24, 2020, the Company sold the assets exclusively related to its SimplyProtein® brand of products for approximately $ 8.8 million of consideration, including cash of $ 5.8 million and a note receivable for $ 3.0 million, to a newly formed entity led by the Company’s Canadian-based management team who had been responsible for this brand prior to the sale transaction. In addition to purchasing these assets, the buyer assumed certain liabilities related to the SimplyProtein brand’s business. The transaction enables management to focus its full time and Company’s resources on its core Atkins® and Quest® branded businesses and other strategic initiatives.
