PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP, 45 South Seventh Street, Suite 3400, Minneapolis, MN 55402 T: (612) 596 6000, F: (612) 373 7160, www.pwc.com/us Independent Auditor's Report To the Management of Conwed Plastics LLC and Subsidiaries We have audited the accompanying consolidated financial statements of Conwed Plastics LLC and its Subsidiaries, a wholly owned subsidiary of Leucadia National Corporation, which comprise the balance sheet as of December 31, 2015, and the related consolidated statements of operations, statement of comprehensive loss, changes in member’s equity, and of cash flows for the year then ended. Management's Responsibility for the Financial Statements Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the consolidated financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America; this includes the design, implementation, and maintenance of internal control relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of consolidated financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error. Auditor's Responsibility Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the consolidated financial statements based on our audit. We conducted our audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free from material misstatement. An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. The procedures selected depend on our judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, we consider internal control relevant to the Company's preparation and fair presentation of the consolidated financial statements in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company's internal control. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of significant accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the consolidated financial statements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.

Conwed Plastics LLC and Subsidiaries Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements December 31, 2015 8 (in thousands) 1. Nature of Operations Conwed Plastics LLC (“Conwed Plastics” or the “Company”) manufactures and markets lightweight plastic netting used for building and construction, erosion and sediment control, packaging, agricultural purposes, carpet padding, filtration, consumer products and other purposes. These products are primarily used for containment purposes, reinforcement of other products, packaging for produce and meats, various types of filtration and erosion prevention. Conwed Plastics has four domestic manufacturing facilities, and it owns and operates a manufacturing and sales facility in Belgium. The Company is a wholly owned subsidiary of Leucadia National Corporation (“Parent” or “Leucadia”). 2. Significant Accounting Policies Basis of Presentation The Conwed Carve-out Consolidated Financial Statements were prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”). These principles are established by the Financial Accounting Standards Board. The preparation of the Conwed Carve-out Consolidated Financial Statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP requires that management make estimates and assumptions and use judgment regarding the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses presented herein. These carve-out consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company continues as a going concern, which may require separate stand-alone financing if it was not a part of Leucadia. Preparation of the carve-out consolidated financial statements included making certain adjustments to present the historical records on a basis as if Conwed had been a separate entity. These adjustments are limited to insurance services provided by Leucadia, which are discussed further in Note 12, and are representative of the benefits Conwed received as well as presenting certain other intercompany transactions between Leucadia and affiliates of Leucadia with Conwed. The Company’s intercompany activity with Leucadia is mainly excess cash transfers from the Company to Leucadia and cash transfers from Leucadia to the Company as necessary based on normal operations. The Company maintains its own cash accounts and does not have a formal intercompany note with Leucadia. All intercompany balances between the Company and Leucadia have been included in these carve-out consolidated financial statements within members’ equity. Intercompany activity with Leucadia is considered to be effectively settled for cash at the time the transaction is recorded and is reflected in the carve-out consolidated statements of cash flows as investing activities and included in members’ equity in the carve-out consolidated balance sheet. The income tax amounts in these carve-out consolidated financial statements have been calculated based on separate return methodology and presented as if the Company's operations were separate taxpayers in respective jurisdictions. All calculated current taxes payable have been included in members’ equity in the carve-out consolidated balance sheet. Use of Estimates The preparation of these financial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts in the financial statements and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities. On an on-going basis, we evaluate all of these estimates and assumptions. The most important of these estimates and assumptions relate to asset impairment and contingencies. Although these and other estimates and assumptions are based on the best available information, actual results could be different from these estimates.

Conwed Plastics LLC and Subsidiaries Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements December 31, 2015 9 Consolidation Our policy is to consolidate all entities in which we can vote a majority of the outstanding voting stock. All intercompany transactions and balances are eliminated in consolidation. Revenue Recognition Policies Revenues are recognized when the following conditions are met: (1) collectability is reasonably assured; (2) title to the product has passed or the service has been rendered and earned; (3) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists; and (4) there is a fixed or determinable price. Manufacturing revenues are recognized when title passes, which for the Company is usually upon shipment of goods. Revenues related to installation services provided are recognized when services are completed. Price discounts offered to customers are treated as a reduction to sales and are estimated and recorded at the time the product revenue is recognized. Cash and Cash Equivalents The Company maintains cash deposits with one financial institution which at times may exceed federally insured limits. The Company believes it is not exposed to significant credit risk in these accounts. Cash equivalents include highly liquid investments, not held for resale with original maturities of three months or less. Accounts Receivable and Provision for Doubtful Accounts The Company performs initial and continuous credit evaluations of its customers. The Company maintains an allowance for potential credit losses and carries a small amount of credit insurance for specific international customers and geographies. The Company’s credit risk is spread out over various customers and markets. The establishment of bad debt reserves is based on historical loss experience and specific trade receivables. Inventories and Cost of Sales Inventories consist of finished goods, work in process and raw materials and are stated at the lower of cost or market, which is not in excess of net realizable value. Standard costs are used, which approximate the first-in-first-out (“FIFO”) method. Cost of sales principally includes product and manufacturing costs, inbound and outbound shipping costs and handling costs. The value of inventory is adjusted for damaged, obsolete, excess and slow-moving inventory. Property, Plant and Equipment Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost, net of accumulated depreciation and amortization. Depreciation and amortization are provided on the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets or, if less, the term of the underlying lease. Expenditures for maintenance and repairs and minor renewals and betterments which do not improve or extend the life of the respective assets are expensed, while major renewals and betterments which extend the useful lives are capitalized. The cost and related accumulated depreciation of assets sold or otherwise disposed of are removed from the related accounts and the resulting gains or losses are reflected in operations. Intangible Assets Intangible assets deemed to have finite lives are amortized on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives, where the useful life is the period over which the asset is expected to contribute directly, or indirectly, to our future cash flows. Impairment of Long-Lived Assets We evaluate our long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate, in management’s judgment, that the carrying value of such assets may not be recoverable. When testing for impairment, we group our long-lived assets with other assets and liabilities at the lowest level for which identifiable cash flows are largely independent of the cash
![Page 12](https://capedge.com/proxy/8-KA/0001000623-17-000058/usdp0091138conwedplastic012.jpg)
Conwed Plastics LLC and Subsidiaries Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements December 31, 2015 10 flows of other assets and liabilities (or asset group). The determination of whether an asset group is recoverable is based on management’s estimate of undiscounted future cash flows directly attributable to the asset group as compared to its carrying value. If the carrying amount of the asset group is greater than the undiscounted cash flows, an impairment loss would be recognized for the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset group exceeds its estimated fair value. Goodwill Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed. Goodwill is not amortized, but is tested for impairment annually or at the time impairment indicators are identified. Impairment testing of goodwill is done at a reporting unit level. Currently, the Company has determined that it has one reporting unit that contains goodwill. An impairment loss will generally be recognized whenever the estimated fair value of the reporting unit is less than the carrying value of the reporting unit’s net assets. For 2015 the Company performed a qualitative impairment analysis and determined that there was not any impairment of goodwill during the year presented. There was no goodwill activity within the year ended December 31, 2015. Income Taxes The results of operations of the Company are included in the consolidated Federal and applicable state and local income tax returns filed by the Parent. In states that neither accept nor require combined or unitary tax returns, the Company files separate state income tax returns. The Company is a single member LLC and subject to corporate tax rates. Subsidiaries of the Company also file in international jurisdictions, where applicable. The Company accounts for the provision for income taxes using a “separate return” method. Amounts provided for income taxes are based on income reported for financial statement purposes and do not necessarily represent income tax expense amounts currently payable or deferred taxes. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The realization of deferred tax assets is assessed and a valuation allowance is recorded to the extent that it is more likely than not that any portion of the deferred tax asset will not be realized. The Company has recorded an estimate of U.S. taxes on foreign operations. The Company recognizes tax positions in the financial statement only when it is more likely than not, based on the technical merits, that the position will be sustained upon examination by the relevant taxing authority. A tax position that meets the more-likely-than-not recognition threshold is measured at the largest amount of tax benefit that is greater than fifty percent likely of being realized upon settlement. Foreign Currency Translation and Transactions Assets and liabilities of foreign subsidiaries are translated to U.S. dollars using the currency exchange rates at the end of the relevant period. Revenues and expenses are translated at average exchange rates during the period. The effects of exchange rate changes on the translation of the balance sheet are included in other comprehensive loss in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income and classified as accumulated other comprehensive loss in the consolidated statement of changes in members’ equity. Amounts reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive loss for the year ended December 31, 2015 are not material.The Company has sales transactions denominated in foreign currencies. Gains and losses may occur due to fluctuations in exchange rates and are included in earnings. Net foreign

Conwed Plastics LLC and Subsidiaries Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements December 31, 2015 11 currency transaction loss was $120 for the year ended December 31, 2015. These losses are included in selling, general and other expense in the accompanying consolidated statement of operations. Advertising Costs The Company advertises its products through digital media and print advertising. Costs for these advertising programs are generally charged to expense as incurred. Advertising and promotional expenses included in the consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive income were $137. Fair Value of Financial Instruments The Company’s financial instruments include cash, receivables and accounts payable. The carrying values of cash, receivables and accounts payable approximate their estimated fair values based on the attributes of the instruments. Fair value is defined as the price that would be received from selling 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. Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) Topic 820, Fair Value Measurement (ASC 820), establishes a fair value hierarchy that requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value and also establishes the following three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value: Level 1 Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. Level 2 Observable inputs other than Level 1 prices, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities, quoted market prices in markets that are not active, or model-derived valuations or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities. Level 3 Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities. Derivative Instruments The Company accounts for derivative financial instruments utilizing the authoritative guidance in ASC Topic 815, Derivatives and Hedging (ASC 815). The Company has utilized forward swap contracts expiring in 3 to 15 months to reduce its exposure to changes in the cost of key commodities. The Company enters into derivative contracts that are intended to economically hedge certain risks, even though the Company does not qualify for, or elects not to apply, hedge accounting as defined in ASC 815. Changes in fair value of derivatives not designated as cash flow hedges are reported in cost of sales. Unrealized gains and losses on all derivatives are recognized in other current assets and accrued expenses, respectively, on the consolidated balance sheets at fair value. The fair values of the Company’s derivative financial instruments are based on quoted market prices and consider Level 2 Investments. At December 31, 2015 the Company did not have any outstanding derivative agreements. Due to the impact of the declining oil and gas market on the price of propylene compared to the Company’s locked position, the Company recognized a net loss $2.6 million on derivative agreements during the year ended December 31, 2015, which is included in cost of sales on the consolidated statement of operations.

Conwed Plastics LLC and Subsidiaries Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements December 31, 2015 12 Vendor Concentration The Company has one raw material vendor that accounts for over 20% of total raw material purchases. Subsequent Events The Company has performed an evaluation of subsequent events and as of November 21, 2016, there are no subsequent events of a material nature to report. 3. Accounting Developments Revenue Recognition In May 2014, the FASB issued new guidance that defines how companies report revenues from contracts with customers, and also requires enhanced disclosures. The core principle of this new guidance is that an entity should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods and services. This guidance originally was effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018. In August 2015, the FASB issued guidance that deferred the effective date by one year, with early adoption on the original effective date permitted. We are currently evaluating the impact this new guidance will have on our consolidated financial statements. Inventory In July 2015, the FASB issued new guidance that simplifies the measurement of inventory. Inventory measured using any method other than LIFO or the retail inventory method (for example, inventory measured using first-in, first-out (FIFO) or average cost) shall be measured at the lower of cost and net realizable value. When evidence exists that the net realizable value of inventory is lower than its cost, the difference shall be recognized as a loss in earnings in the period in which it occurs. This guidance will be effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016 and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, and early adoption is permitted. We are currently evaluating the impact this new guidance will have on our consolidated financial statements. Leases In February 2016, the FASB issued new guidance that affects the accounting and disclosure requirements for leases. The FASB requires the recognition of lease assets and lease liabilities on the statement of financial condition. The guidance is effective for annual beginning after December 15, 2019 and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020, and early adoption is permitted. We are currently evaluating the impact this new guidance will have on our consolidated financial statements.
