**SUBJECT:** Executive Summary of Due Diligence Findings for Strickland-Maddox (Deal ID: MNA-2024-WIFE833)

This document summarizes the results of the comprehensive due diligence process for the potential acquisition of Strickland-Maddox. The review period commenced on 2024-09-23 and concluded on 2024-10-07, involving extensive analysis by our internal teams and external consultants. The team's general sentiment, following several late-night sessions and copious amounts of coffee, is cautiously optimistic.

From a financial perspective, Strickland-Maddox exhibits a volatile revenue growth trend. Our analysis of the past three years of performance data indicates an average EBITDA margin of 14.8% and a net profit margin of 5.3%.

Valuation notes highlight that the intellectual property portfolio (deploy leading-edge e-commerce) valued as a key intangible asset.

The legal review encompassed an examination of 292 key commercial agreements. Of significant note is the confirmation of pending litigations. Past compliance reviews uncovered several issues, including: Material data privacy non-compliance (CY2004), Material environmental non-compliance (CY1999). Operationally, the target's supply chain is assessed as vulnerable, while its technological backbone is considered largely state-of-the-art.

The investigation surfaced several key risks. A medium-severity reputational risk was identified concerning 'Potential exposure to harness dynamic deliverables.'.
