NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
Note 1: Restatement of Previously Issued Financial Statements
The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2022 (collectively, the "Affected Periods") have been restated to account for material misstatements related to the collection of sales taxes on sales of products and services to customers as further described below and the accounting treatment related to the deferred tax asset associated with the Company’s acquisition of PetCareRx in April 2023 (collectively, the “Misstatements”). The Company also restated all amounts impacted within the notes to the financial statements. A description of the adjustments and their impacts on the previously issued financial statements for each of the Affected Periods are included below. As a result of the Misstatements, our previously issued condensed consolidated financial statements for the Affected Periods should no longer be relied upon. In addition, we have filed our 2023 Form 10-K/A and an Amendment No. 1 to our Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for the fiscal quarters ended June 30, 2023 and September 30, 2023, to reflect the correction of the Misstatements.
Description of restatement adjustments
In the third quarter of fiscal year 2024, the Company, reviewed the accounting treatment related to its previously reported sales tax accruals as well as the accounting treatment related to the valuation of the deferred tax asset associated with the Company’s acquisition of PetCareRx in April 2023. As a result of this review, management determined that the Company incorrectly applied U.S. GAAP as it relates to the sales tax liability and improperly valued the deferred tax asset and goodwill included in its unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for each of the Affected Periods.
We corrected the Misstatements relating to sales tax accruals by recording sales tax accruals as of the end of each of the Affected Periods using a legal liability approach under Accounting Standards Codification Topic 405, Liabilities. The sales tax accrual amounts assume that (i) customers who have not yet provided certificates or other documentation of exemption from sales tax are taxable, (ii) total potential interest and penalty assessments may be imposed, and (iii) the Company will not receive waivers of interest and penalties or other benefits under agreements it may obtain with jurisdictions from its outreach with voluntary disclosures. The Company expects to make adjustments to the sales tax liability in future periods as and if it obtains any waivers of interest and penalties or other benefits from its voluntary disclosures and as and if it obtains additional documentation from customers supporting exemption from sales tax.
In addition, we have corrected Misstatements relating to the deferred tax asset we recognized in connection with our acquisition of PetCareRx on April 3, 2023 (the “Acquisition”) as of the end of each of the Affected Periods. In the accounting for the Acquisition, it was determined that we incorrectly valued deferred tax assets associated with loss carryforwards of PetCareRx under section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code.
A summary of the impact of the adjustments described above relating to the Misstatements in each of the Affected Periods, is as follows:

The restated unaudited interim financial information for the relevant unaudited interim financial statements for the quarterly period ended December 31, 2022 is also included below and identified in the Restatement Reconciliation Tables in the column entitled "Reference".
The categories of restatement adjustments and their impacts on previously reported financial statements are described below:
a. Sales Tax – Sales tax on sales of services to customers who were subject to sales tax, inclusive of total potential penalties and interest, that was not previously accrued by the Company is corrected by an increase to sales tax liabilities on the consolidated balance sheets. The effect of the adjustments on the consolidated statements of operations were recorded as a reduction to sales for the amount of tax, an increase to general and administrative expenses for accrued penalties and interest is included in other interest(expense) on the consolidated statements of operations.
b. Tax provision / accrual – Tax provisions, deferred tax assets and liabilities were adjusted based on restated net income and restated deferred assets valuation in connection with the acquisition of PetCareRx.
c. Deferred tax asset adjustment - Deferred tax asset recognized in connection with the acquisition of PetCareRx on April 3, 2023.
Consolidated Financial Statements - Restatement Reconciliation Tables
In light of the foregoing, in accordance with ASC 250, Accounting Changes and Error Corrections, we are restating the previously issued unaudited consolidated financial statements as of, and for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2022, to reflect the effects of the restatement adjustments and to make certain corresponding disclosures. In the following tables, we have presented a reconciliation of our consolidated balance sheets, statements of operations, and cash flows as previously reported for these prior periods to the restated and revised amounts.

Note 2: Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Organization
PetMed Express, Inc. and subsidiaries, d/b/a PetMeds®, is a leading direct-to-consumer pet pharmacy and online provider of prescription and non-prescription medications, food, supplements, supplies and vet services for dogs, cats, and horses. The Company markets and sells directly to consumers through its websites, toll-free number, and mobile applications. The Company offers consumers an attractive option for obtaining pet medications, food, and supplies in terms of convenience, price, speed of delivery, and valued customer service.
Founded in 1996, the Company’s executive headquarters offices are located in Delray Beach, Florida. The Company’s fiscal year end is March 31, and references herein to fiscal 2024 or fiscal 2023 refer to the Company's fiscal years ending March 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively.
Basis of Presentation and Consolidation
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q and, therefore, do not include all of the information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States ("GAAP") for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring accruals, necessary to present fairly the financial position of the Company at December 31, 2023, the Statements of (Loss) Income for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, and Cash Flows for the nine months ended December 31, 2023 and 2022. The results of operations for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2023 are not necessarily indicative of the operating results expected for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2024. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and notes thereto contained in our 2023 Form 10-K/A. The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of PetMed Express, Inc. and its direct and indirect wholly owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
Business Combinations
The Company accounts for its business combinations using the acquisition method of accounting in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") Topic 805 ("Business Combinations"). The purchase price is allocated to the fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed. Transaction costs directly attributable to the acquisition are expensed as incurred. Identifiable assets and liabilities acquired or assumed are measured separately at their fair values as of the acquisition date. The excess of the purchase price of acquisition over the fair value of the identifiable net assets of the acquiree is recorded as goodwill. The results of businesses acquired in a business combination are included in the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements from the date of acquisition.
Determining the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed requires management to use significant judgment and estimates, including the selection of valuation methodologies, estimates of future revenue and cash flows, discount rates and selection of comparable companies. The estimates and assumptions used to determine the fair values and useful lives of identified intangible assets could change due to numerous factors, including market conditions, technological developments, economic conditions, and competition. In connection with the determination of fair values, the Company may engage a third-party valuation specialist to assist with the valuation of intangible and certain tangible assets acquired and certain obligations assumed. Acquisition-related transaction costs incurred by the Company are not included as a component of consideration transferred but are accounted for as an operating expense in the period in which the costs are incurred.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of unaudited condensed 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 unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ materially from those estimates.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The carrying amounts of the Company's cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, and accounts payable approximate fair value due to the short-term nature of these instruments.
Deferred Revenue
Deferred revenue is recorded when payments are received or due in advance of performing our service obligations and revenue is recognized over the service period. Deferred revenue represents prepayments of PetPlus memberships with PetCareRx, Inc. (“PetCareRx”). The total deferred revenue as of December 31, 2023 for these memberships was$3.1 million. Memberships provide discounted pricing, free standard shipping, veterinary telehealth services and local Caremark Pharmacy prescription pickup. The membership fee is an annual charge and automatically renews one year from the initial enrollment date. The Company generally recognizes the revenue ratably over the term of the membership.
Goodwill
Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of net assets acquired in a business combination. Goodwill is not amortized but instead is tested for impairment annually on January 1, or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate goodwill might be impaired. When testing goodwill for impairment, the Company has the option to choose whether it will apply a qualitative assessment first and then a quantitative assessment, if necessary, or to apply the quantitative assessment directly. The Company has concluded that it hasone reporting unit and has assigned the entire balance of goodwill to this reporting unit.
Intangible Assets
The Company acquired definite-lived intangible assets in the acquisition (see Note 3) that will be amortized based on their estimated useful lives in accordance with ASC Topic 350 (“Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets”). These definite-lived intangible assets are being amortized over periods ranging from three toseven years. Acquired trade name is not being amortized and is subject to an annual review for impairment consistent with the existing intangible assets in fiscal 2024.
Leases
The Company accounts for leases in accordance with ASC Topic 842 ("Leases"). The Company reviews all contracts and determines if the arrangement is or contains a lease, at inception. Operating leases are reported as right-of-use (“ROU”) assets, current lease liabilities and long-term lease liabilities on the unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. The Company does not have any material leases, individually or in the aggregate, classified as a finance lease.
Operating lease ROU assets represent the Company’s right to use an underlying asset for the lease term and lease liabilities represent the Company’s obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. ROU assets and lease liabilities are recognized at the lease commencement date based on the estimated present value of lease payments over the lease term. The Company uses its estimated incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at the lease commencement date in determining the present value of future payments. The operating lease ROU asset also includes any upfront lease payments made and excludes lease incentives and initial direct costs incurred. The Company’s lease terms may include options to extend or terminate the lease when it is reasonably certain that the Company will exercise that option. Lease expense for minimum lease payments is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Leases with a term of 12 months or less are not recorded on the balance sheet. The Company’s lease agreements do not contain any residual value guarantees.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
The Company does not believe that any recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting standards, if currently adopted, will have a material effect on the Company's consolidated financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.
Note 3: Revenue Recognition
In accordance with ASC Topic 606 ("Revenue from Contracts with Customers"), the Company generates revenue by selling prescription and non-prescription pet medication products, pet food, supplements, supplies, membership fees, and veterinary services. Certain pet supplies offered on the Company’s website are drop shipped to customers. The Company considers itself the principal in the arrangement because the Company controls the specified good before it is transferred to the customer. Revenue contracts containone performance obligation, which is delivery of the product. Customer care and support is deemed not to be a material right to the contract. The transaction price is adjusted at the date of sale for any applicable sales discounts and an estimate of product returns, which are based on historical patterns, however this is not considered a key judgment. Revenue is recognized when control transfers to the customer at the point in time at which the shipment of the product occurs. This key judgment is determined as the shipping point, which represents the point in time when the Company has a present right to payment, title has transferred to the customer, and the customer has assumed the risks and rewards of ownership. Virtually all the Company’s sales are paid by credit cards and the Company usually receives the cash settlement in two to three banking days. Credit card sales minimize the accounts receivable balances relative to sales.
Outbound shipping and handling fees are an accounting policy election and are included in sales as the Company considers itself the principal in the arrangement given its responsibility for supplier selection and discretion over pricing. Shipping costs associated with outbound freight after control over a product has transferred to a customer are an accounting policy election and are accounted for as fulfillment costs and are included in cost of sales.
Membership fees represent the amounts recognized periodically from two membership models. The first is the PetPlus membership for PetCareRx customers, the second is a partner membership provided through PetCareRx. These memberships provide discounted pricing, free standard shipping, veterinary telehealth services and local Caremark Pharmacy prescription pickup which represent a single stand-ready performance obligation to provide these benefits. The PetPlus membership fee is an upfront annual charge and automatically renewsone year from the initial enrollment date. The Company recognizes the revenue ratably over the term of the PetPlus membership which is generallyone year. As shown in the following table, under the PetPlus program, the Company recognized $1.8 million and $5.3 million of previously deferred annual membership fees in the three and nine months ended December 31, 2023, respectively, and had $3.1 million of deferred revenue as of the quarter ended December 31, 2023 (amounts in millions).

For the three and nine months ended December 31, 2023, membership fees earned under the partner program were $0.7 million and $2.0 million, respectively.
The Company has no material contract asset or liability balances at December 31, 2023 and March 31, 2023, respectively.

Note 4: Acquisition
On April 3, 2023, the Company acquired 100% of the issued and outstanding equity interests of PetCareRx, a New York corporation and a leading supplier of pet food, pet medications, and supplies. The acquisition was completed pursuant to an Agreement and Plan of Merger ("Merger Agreement") by and among the Company, Harry Merger Sub, Inc., a New York corporation and a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company ("Merger Sub"), PetCareRx and Jeanette Loeb (as representative of the PetCareRx equity holders). The Merger Agreement provided for the Company’s acquisition of PetCareRx pursuant to the merger of Merger Sub with and into PetCareRx, with PetCareRx as the surviving corporation. The aggregate purchase price consideration was$36.1 million and was funded from the Company's cash on hand.
The acquisition of PetCareRx allowed the Company to significantly expand its product catalog, most notably in non-medication products, including food. In addition, PetCareRx brings increased distribution capability.
The Company recognized goodwill of approximately$26.7 million, which is calculated as the excess of the consideration exchanged and liabilities assumed as compared to the fair value of the identifiable assets acquired. Goodwill recognized in the transaction represents synergies or scale achieved by significantly increasing the customer base without adding corresponding levels of additional overhead, the value of additional vendor relationships, including the food manufacturing relationships, a broader product catalog, and an assembled and experienced workforce. These items represent intangible assets that do not qualify for separate recognition. No goodwill is deductible for tax purposes.
The values assigned to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed are based on their estimates of fair value available as of April 3, 2023, as calculated by an independent third-party firm. The selected rates of returns were chosen in consideration of the individual risk profiles of the assets, as well as the resulting weighted average return on assets. Intangible assets are considered to be riskier than the overall business, so the Company included a premium to the investment rate of return on the identified intangible discount rates.
The fair values of intangible assets acquired consist of a trade name, customer relationships, and developed technology, which were estimated by applying various discounted cash flow models such as the relief from royalty rate for the trade name, the multi-period excess earnings method for the customer relationships, and the cost to replace method for the developed technology. The fair value measurements were based on significant inputs that are not observable (Level 3). The assumptions made by management in determining the fair value of intangible assets included a discount rate of 12% based on the weighted average cost of capital.
As a result of the acquisition, the Company performed an Internal Revenue Code Section 382 analysis to determine if the net operating losses carried forward will have a utilization limitation. Refer to Note 11 for further discussion.
The table below outlines the purchase price allocation of the purchase for PetCareRx to the acquired identifiable assets, liabilities assumed and goodwill (in thousands):

Supplemental Pro Forma Information (As Restated)
The supplemental pro forma financial information presented below is for illustrative purposes only, does not include the pro forma adjustments that would be required under Regulation S-X of the Exchange Act for pro forma financial information, is not necessarily indicative of the financial position or results of operations that would have been realized if the PetCareRx acquisition had been completed on April 1, 2022, does not reflect synergies that might have been achieved, nor is it indicative of future operating results or financial position. The pro forma adjustments are based upon currently available information and certain assumptions that the Company believes are reasonable under the circumstances.
The supplemental pro forma financial information reflects pro forma adjustments to present the combined pro forma results of operations as if the PetCareRx acquisition had occurred on April 1, 2022 to give effect to certain events that the Company believes to be directly attributable to the acquisition. These pro forma adjustments primarily include:
a. A decrease in depreciation expense that would have been recognized due to acquired identifiable fixed assets;
b. A decrease in amortization expense that would have been recognized due to acquired identifiable intangible assets; and

| Revenue | $226,713 |
| Net income | 407 |
Note 5: Net (Loss) Income Per Share
In accordance with the provisions of ASC Topic 260 (“Earnings Per Share”) basic net income per share is computed by dividing net income available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted net income per common share includes the dilutive effect of potential restricted and performance stock and the effects of the potential conversion of preferred shares, calculated using the treasury stock method. Unvested restricted stock and convertible preferred shares issued by the Company represent the only dilutive effect reflected in the diluted weighted average shares outstanding.
The following is a reconciliation of the numerators and denominators of the basic and diluted net (loss) income per share computations for the periods presented (in thousands, except for share and per share amounts):
| Three Months Ended December 31, | Nine Months EndedDecember 31, | |||

For the three months ended December 31, 2023 and 2022,825,825 and 243,604 shares issuable upon vesting of restricted stock and 10,125 andzero shares issuable upon conversion of preferred shares, respectively, were excluded from the computation of diluted net (loss) income per common share, as their inclusion would have had an anti-dilutive effect on diluted net (loss) income per common share. For the nine months ended December 31, 2023 and 2022,837,084 and 243,604 shares issuable upon vesting of restricted stock and 10,125 andzero shares issuable upon conversion of preferred shares, respectively, were excluded from the computation of diluted net (loss) income per common share, as their inclusion would have had an anti-dilutive effect on diluted net (loss) income per common share.
Note 6: Stock-Based Compensation
The Company records compensation expense associated with restricted stock in accordance with ASC Topic 718 (“Compensation - Stock Compensation”). The Company had 961,973 common shares issued under the 2016 Employee Equity Compensation Restricted Stock Plan (the “2016 Employee Plan”) (which 2016 Employee Plan was succeeded by the 2022 Employee Plan in April 2023, and no further awards will be granted under the 2016 Employee Plan),89,742 common shares issued under the 2022 Employee Equity Compensation Plan (as amended) (the “2022 Employee Plan”), and 225,251 common shares issued under the 2015 Outside Director Equity Compensation Plan (as amended) (the “2015 Director Plan”). At December 31, 2023, all shares were issued with service-based vesting conditions which vest subject to the employee's continued employment with the Company or the director’s continued directorship with the Company through the applicable vesting date. The Company records stock-based compensation expense for these awards on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period. The Company reverses stock-based compensation expense previously recorded upon forfeiture of unvested awards except for performance restricted shares with a market condition issued to the Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) and performance stock units (“PSUs”) with a market condition issued to the Chief
Financial Officer (“CFO”) as described in the following paragraphs. Stock-based compensation expense previously recorded for these awards will not be reversed if the awards are forfeited.
In June 2023, the Board of Directors amended and restated the 2015 Director Plan and the 2022 Employee Plan (collectively, the "Plans") to include the ability to grant restricted stock units ("RSUs") and performance stock units ("PSUs") under the Plans. The amendments and restatement of the Plans did not increase the maximum number of shares of common stock that may be awarded under the Plans. At December 31, 2023, the Company had 55,380 RSUs and 12,000 PSUs granted under the 2022 Employee Plan and 30,000 RSUs granted under the 2015 Director Plan.
In August 2021, the Company issued 90,000 restricted shares and 510,000 restricted shares with a market condition to the Company’s CEO, in accordance with the CEO’s employment agreement, under the 2016 Employee Plan. The restricted shares with a market condition vest based on achieving absolute stock hurdles within thethree-year period from the grant date. If the shares meet the absolute stock price hurdle, they will only vest on the third anniversary of the date of grant subject to the CEO’s continued employment with the Company through such date. As of December 31, 2023, none of the performance stock hurdles were met.
In June 2023, the Company granted the Company's CFO 11,750 RSUs under the 2022 Employee Plan, of which 3,750 RSUs were awarded in recognition of the CFO’s contributions during fiscal year 2023 and the remaining 8,000 awarded as a part of the equity award cycle for fiscal year 2024. One-third of the RSUs will vest on each of the first three anniversaries of the date of grant, subject to the CFO’s continued employment with the Company through the applicable vesting date, with any unvested RSUs being forfeited upon the CFO ceasing to be an employee of the Company. Also in June 2023, the CFO was awarded 8,000 PSUs with a market condition. The CFO will earn shares of our common stock pursuant to the PSUs based on the Company’s total shareholder return (“TSR”) relative to the S&P 600 Specialty Retail Index (“Index”) over an overall three-year performance period consisting of the 2024 through 2026 fiscal years, as follows:
100% of the target number of shares, which is 8,000 shares, will be earned if the Company’s TSR is equal to or greater than the 75th percentile of the Index (the “maximum target payout”);
50% of the target number of shares, which is 4,000 shares, will be earned if the Company’s TSR is equal to at least the 50th percentile of the Index;
25% of the target number of shares, which is 2,000 shares, will be earned if the Company’s TSR is equal to at least the 25th percentile of the Index (the “minimum threshold”);
No shares will be earned if the TSR is less than the 25th percentile of the Index, and the payout is capped at 2,000 shares if absolute TSR is negative, regardless of relative position to the Index; and
Linear scaling will be used to determine the number of shares earned for performance between the maximum target payout level and the minimum threshold payout level.
The Company issued 14,000 shares of restricted stock to employees under the 2022 Employee Plan during the three months ended December 31, 2023. The Company issued zero shares of restricted stock andzero RSUs to board members under the 2015 Director Plan during the quarter ended December 31, 2023. For the quarters ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, the Company recognized$1.7 million and $1.8 million, respectively, of compensation expense related to the 2016 Employee Plan, 2022 Employee Plan, and 2015 Director Plan. For the nine months ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, the Company recognized $5.2 million and $5.0 million, respectively, of compensation expense related to the 2016 Employee Plan, 2022 Employee Plan, and 2015 Director Plan. At December 31, 2023 and 2022 there was $6.1 million and $10.6 million of unrecognized compensation cost related to the non-vested restricted stock awards, respectively, which is expected to be recognized over the nextone tothree years. All stock-based compensation expense is recognized as a payroll-related expense and it is included within the general and administrative expenses line item within the Company’s unaudited Consolidated Statements of (Loss) Income, and the offset is included in the additional paid-in capital line item of the Company’s unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. As of December 31, 2023 and March 31, 2023, there were 728,446 and 752,829 non-vested restricted shares issued and outstanding, respectively.

Restricted Stock Units
The fair value assigned to RSUs is the market price of the Company’s stock on the grant date. The vesting period for employees and members of the Board of Directors ranges fromone tothree years.
RSU activity under the Plans was as follows:
| RSUs | Weighted-Average Grant Date Fair Value Per RSU | |
|---|---|---|
| Balance at March 31, 2023 | – | $– |
| Granted | 85,380 | $12.58 |

For the nine months ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, the Company recorded stock-based compensation related to RSUs of $0.2 million andzero, respectively.
Performance Stock Units
The fair value assigned to PSUs is determined using the market price of the Company’s stock on the grant date for awards with a performance condition, and by using a Monte Carlo simulation for awards with a market condition. PSUs with a performance condition vest overone year. PSUs with a market condition vest over three years. Stock-based compensation costs associated with PSUs with a performance condition are re-assessed each reporting period based upon the estimated performance attainment on the reporting date until the performance conditions are met. The ultimate number of shares of common stock that are issued to an employee is the result of the actual performance of the Company at the end of the performance period compared to the performance targets and generally ranges from 0% to 200% of the initial PSU grant.
PSU activity under the Plans was as follows:
| PSUs | Weighted-Average Grant Date Fair Value Per PSU | |
|---|---|---|
| Balance at March 31, 2023 | – | $– |
| Granted | 12,000 | $11.35 |

Note 7: Fair Value
The Company carries cash and cash equivalents at fair value in the unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. Fair value is defined as an exit price, representing the amount that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants. As such, fair value is a market-based measurement that should be determined based on assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or a liability. ASC Topic 820 (“Fair Value Measurement”) establishes a three-tier fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in the valuation methodologies in measuring fair value:
Level 1 - Observable inputs that reflect quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets.
Level 2 - Include other inputs that are directly or indirectly observable in the marketplace.
Level 3 - Unobservable inputs which are supported by little or no market activity.
The fair value hierarchy also requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. At December 31, 2023 and March 31, 2023, the Company had invested the majority of its$49.4 million and$104.1 million cash and cash equivalents balance in money market funds which are classified within Level 1.

On April 19, 2022, the Company engaged in athree-year partnership agreement with Vetster Inc. (“Vetster”), a Canadian veterinary telehealth company. The Company also purchased a 5% minority interest in Vetster in the amount of $5.0 million and received warrants for additional equity in Vetster, which are tied to future performance milestones. Under the terms of the agreement, the Company became the exclusive e-commerce provider for Vetster, and Vetster became the exclusive provider of telehealth and telemedicine services to the Company. The minority interest investment is being valued on thecost basis and the investment will be evaluated periodically for any impairment. On October 3, 2023, the Company purchased additional shares in Vetster in the amount of $0.3 million. This increases the minority interest investment disclosed in Note 7 to $5.3 million. Following this round, the Company’s minority ownership changed to approximately 4.8% of Vetster’s outstanding shares.
Note 9: Leases
The Company’s leasing activities primarily consist of real estate leases acquired during the acquisition of PetCareRx for use in the business operations. The leases had initial terms ranging from 5 years to 10 years. Some of the initial lease terms have already matured and the remaining leases have maturity dates ranging from fiscal year 2024 to 2028. The Company assesses whether each lease is an operating lease or a finance lease at the lease commencement date. The Company does not have any material leases, individually or in the aggregate, classified as a finance lease.
Variable Lease Costs
Certain of the Company’s leases require payments for taxes, insurance, and other costs applicable to the property, in addition to the minimum lease payment. These costs are considered variable costs which are based on actual expenses incurred by the lessor. Therefore, these amounts are not included in the calculation of the right-of-use assets and lease liabilities.

Under Internal Revenue Code Section 382, if a corporation undergoes an “ownership change”, the corporation’s ability to use its pre-change net operating loss and tax credit carryforwards to offset its post-change income and tax liabilities may be limited. Generally, an ownership change occurs when the equity ownership of one or more stockholders or groups of stockholders who owns at least 5% of a corporation’s stock increases its ownership by more than 50 percentage points over their lowest ownership percentage in a testing period (typically three years). On April 3, 2023,100% of the issued and outstanding stock of PetCareRx was acquired by the Company. The merger triggered an ownership change of PetCareRx within the meaning of Section 382.
As a result of the acquisition, the Company performed a Section 382 analysis to determine if the net operating losses carried forward will have a utilization limitation. Any limitation may result in the expiration of a portion of the federal net operating loss carryforward before utilization, which would reduce the Company's gross deferred tax assets. As of April 3, 2023, and prior to the acquisition, PetCareRx had approximately $96.0 million of net operating losses and $1.9 million of disallowed interest expense. The results of the preliminary Section 382 analysis determined the net operating losses and disallowed interest expense in total, would be limited and reduced to approximately $14.5 million.
