Controls and Procedures**\n\n \n\n**Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures**\n\n \n\nOur management, with the participation of our Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act), as of March 31, 2026. Based upon this evaluation, our Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer concluded that, as of March 31, 2026, the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures: (1) were designed to ensure that material information relating to the Company is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer, particularly during the period in which this report was being prepared, so as to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure and (2) were effective, in that they provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms.\n\n \n\n**Management**’**s Annual Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting**\n\n \n\nOur management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over the Company’s financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act). Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect all misstatements. Projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.\n\n \n\nEffective March 2, 2026, the Company acquired the *Green Giant *U.S. Frozen business (“GGF”). Management excluded from its assessment of the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of March 31, 2026, the internal controls of GGF, which represent 7.1% of our total assets and 1.4% of our consolidated revenues included in the consolidated financial statements of the Company as of and for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2026. This exclusion is permitted under the rules of the SEC.\n\n \n\nOur management assessed the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of March 31, 2026. In making this assessment, our management used the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (“COSO”) in *Internal Control-Integrated Framework (2013).* Based on our assessment, management believes that, as of March 31, 2026, our internal control over financial reporting is effective based on those criteria. Our independent registered public accounting firm, Deloitte & Touche LLP, has audited the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of March 31, 2026, as stated in their report, which is included in Part II, Item 8 of this Annual Report on Form 10-K.\n\n \n\n**Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting**\n\n \n\nThere were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) during the quarter ended March 31, 2026 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting."}
