LUVU BRANDS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

FOR THE SIX MONTHS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2017 AND DECEMBER 31, 2016 (UNAUDITED)


NOTE 1. ORGANIZATION AND NATURE OF BUSINESS

 

Luvu Brands, Inc. (the “Company” or “Luvu Brands”) was incorporated in the State of Florida on February 25, 1999. References to the “Company” in these notes include the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries, OneUp Innovations, Inc. (“OneUp”), and Foam Labs, Inc. (“Foam Labs”). All operations of the Company are currently conducted by OneUp Innovations, Inc.

 

The Company is an Atlanta, Georgia based designer, manufacturer and brand based marketer of consumer products that offers a growing number of product categories including: Liberator® sexual positioning furniture, Avana™ top-of-bed comfort pillows and Jaxx® casual fashion furniture, child, teen and adult beanbags, outdoor loungers, loveseats, and daybeds. These products are sold through the Company’s websites, concept factory store, online mass merchants and retail stores worldwide. Many of our products are offered flat-packed and vacuum compressed to save on shipping and reduce our carbon footprint.

 

Sales are generated through internet and print advertisements.  We have a diversified customer base with only one customer accounting for 10% or more of consolidated net sales in the current and prior fiscal year and no particular concentration of credit risk in one economic sector.  Foreign operations and foreign net sales are not material. Our business is seasonal and as a result we experience higher sales in the second and third fiscal quarters.

 

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of Luvu Brands, Inc. and all of its wholly-owned subsidiaries (collectively, the "Company" “we” or "Luvu Brands") included herein have been prepared by the Company pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC"). Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles of the United States of America ("GAAP") have been condensed or omitted pursuant to applicable rules and regulations. In the opinion of management, all adjustments considered necessary for fair presentation have been included. The year-end condensed balance sheet data were derived from audited consolidated financial statements but do not include all disclosures required by GAAP. The results of operations for the six months ended December 31, 2017 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the entire year. These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto included in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2017.

 

NOTE 2. GOING CONCERN

 

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, which contemplates continuation of the Company as a going concern. As of December 31, 2017, the Company has an accumulated deficit of approximately $9,050,000 and a working capital deficit of approximately $1,865,000. This raises substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.

 

In view of these matters, realization of a major portion of the assets in the accompanying balance sheet is dependent upon continued operations of the Company, which in turn is dependent upon the Company’s ability to meet its financing requirements, and the success of its future operations.  Management believes that actions presently being taken to revise the Company’s operating and financial requirements provide the opportunity for the Company to continue as a going concern.

 

These actions include an ongoing initiative to increase sales, gross profits and our gross profit margin. To that end, at the end of fiscal 2016, we evaluated various options for increasing the throughput of our compressed foam products and during the first quarter of fiscal 2017, we purchased new foam compression equipment for installation during the second quarter of fiscal 2017. This action has yielded higher factory throughput at a lower cost of goods sold. We also plan to continue to manage discretionary expense levels to be better aligned with current and expected revenue levels. We estimate that the operational and strategic growth plans we have identified over the next twelve months will require approximately $250,000 of funding, of which we estimate will be provided by debt financing and, to a lesser extent, cash flow from operations as well as cash on hand.

 

The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent upon its ability to successfully accomplish the plans described in the preceding paragraph and eventually secure other sources of financing and attain profitable operations.  However, management cannot provide any assurances that the Company will be successful in accomplishing these plans.  The accompanying financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern.

FOR THE SIX MONTHS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2017 AND DECEMBER 31, 2016 (UNAUDITED)

 

NOTE 3. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

Basis of Presentation

 

These consolidated financial statements include the accounts and operations of our wholly owned operating subsidiaries, OneUp and Foam Labs. Intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation.

 

The accompanying consolidated condensed financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Regulation S-X.  Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements.  These consolidated condensed financial statements and notes should be read in conjunction with the Company’s consolidated financial statements contained in the Company’s report on Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, 2017 filed on October 4, 2017.

 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the balance sheet date and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the period reported.  Management reviews these estimates and assumptions periodically and reflects the effect of revisions in the period that they are determined to be necessary.  Actual results could differ from those estimates and assumptions.

 

Use of Estimates

 

 The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions in determining the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.  Significant estimates in these consolidated financial statements include estimates of: income taxes; tax valuation reserves; allowances for doubtful accounts; inventory valuation and reserves, share-based compensation; and useful lives for depreciation and amortization.  Actual results could differ materially from these estimates.   

 

Revenue Recognition   

        

We recognize revenues as goods are shipped to customers and title is transferred. The criteria for recognition of revenue are when persuasive evidence that an arrangement exists and both title and risk of loss have passed to the customer, the price is fixed or determinable, and collectability is reasonably assured. Sales returns and allowances are estimated and recorded as a reduction to sales in the period in which sales are recorded.

 

The Company records product sales net of estimated product returns and discounts from the list prices for its products. The amounts of product returns and the discount amounts have not been material to date. The Company includes shipping and handling costs in cost of product sales.

 

Cash and Cash Equivalents

 

For purposes of reporting cash flows, the Company considers all highly liquid debt instruments purchased with a maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.

FOR THE SIX MONTHS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2017 AND DECEMBER 31, 2016 (UNAUDITED)

 

 Allowance for Doubtful Accounts

 

The allowance for doubtful accounts reflects management's best estimate of probable credit losses inherent in the accounts receivable balance. The Company determines the allowance based on historical experience, specifically identified nonpaying accounts and other currently available evidence. The Company reviews its allowance for doubtful accounts monthly with a focus on significant individual past due balances over 90 days. Account balances are charged off against the allowance after all means of collection have been exhausted and the potential for recovery is considered remote. The Company does not have any off-balance sheet credit exposure related to its customers.

 

The following is a summary of Accounts Receivable as of December 31, 2017 and June 30, 2017.

 

   December 31,
2017
  June 30,
2017
   (in thousands)
Accounts receivable  $722   $646 
Allowance for doubtful accounts   (5)   (7)
Allowance for discounts and returns   (9)   (8)
Total accounts receivable, net  $708   $631 

 

Inventories and Inventory Reserves

 

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market. Cost is determined using the first-in, first-out (FIFO) method. Market is defined as sales price less cost to dispose and a normal profit margin.  Inventory costs include materials, labor, depreciation and overhead. The company establishes reserves for excess and obsolete inventory, based on prevailing circumstances and judgment for consideration of current events, such as economic conditions, that may affect inventory. The reserve required to record inventory at lower of cost or market may be adjusted in response to changing conditions.

 

Concentration of Credit Risk

 

The Company maintains its cash accounts with banks located in Georgia.  The total cash balances are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) up to $250,000 per bank.  The Company had bank balances on deposit at December 31, 2017 that exceeded the balance insured by the FDIC by $399,078.  Accounts receivable are typically unsecured and are derived from revenue earned from customers primarily located in North America and Europe.

 

During the six month ended December 31, 2017, we purchased 14% of total inventory purchases from one vendor.

 

During the fiscal year ended June 30, 2017, we purchased 13% and 10% of total inventory purchases from two vendors.

 

As of December 31, 2017 one of the Company’s customers (Amazon) represents 62% of the total accounts receivables compared to 41% as of June 2017.

 

Fair Value of Financial and Derivative Instruments

 

At December 31, 2017, our financial instruments included cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable, and other debt.

 

The fair values of these financial instruments approximated their carrying values based on either their short maturity or current terms for similar instruments.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

FOR THE SIX MONTHS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2017 AND DECEMBER 31, 2016 (UNAUDITED)

 The Company measures the fair value of its assets and liabilities under the guidance of ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures, which defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. ASC 820 does not require any new fair value measurements, but its provisions apply to all other accounting pronouncements that require or permit fair value measurement.

 

ASC 820 clarifies that fair value is an exit price, representing the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants based on the highest and best use of the asset or liability. 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 liability. ASC 820 requires the Company to use valuation techniques to measure fair value that maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. These inputs are prioritized as follows:

 

Level 1: Observable inputs such as quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in active markets;

 

Level 2: Inputs, other than the quoted prices in active markets, that are observable either directly or indirectly such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities or market-corroborated inputs; and

 

Level 3: Unobservable inputs for which there is little or no market data, which require the reporting entity to develop its own assumptions about how market participants would price the assets or liabilities.

 

The valuation techniques that may be used to measure fair value are as follows:

 

A.       Market approach - Uses prices and other relevant information generated by market transactions involving identical or comparable assets or liabilities.

 

B.       Income approach - Uses valuation techniques to convert future amounts to a single present amount based on current market expectations about those future amounts, including present value techniques, option-pricing models and excess earnings method.

 

C.        Cost approach - Based on the amount that currently would be required to replace the service capacity of an asset (replacement cost).

 

Advertising Costs

 

Advertising costs are expensed in the period when the advertisements are first aired or distributed to the public. Prepaid advertising (included in prepaid expenses) was $4,450 at December 31, 2017 and $18,055 at June 30, 2017. Advertising expense for the three months ended December 31, 2017 and 2016 was $126,540 and $123,660 , respectively. Advertising expense for the six months ended December 31, 2017 and 2016 was $219,183 and $205,669, respectively.

 

Research and Development

 

Research and development expenses for new products are expensed as they are incurred. Expenses for new product development totaled $36,154 and $38,812 for the three months ended December 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively. Expenses for new product development totaled $72,789 and $90,741 for the six months ended December 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively. Research and development costs are included in general and administrative expense.

 

Property and Equipment

 

Property and equipment are stated at cost. Depreciation and amortization are computed using the straight-line method over estimated service lives for financial reporting purposes of 2-10 years.

 

Expenditures for major renewals and betterments that extend the useful lives of property and equipment are capitalized. Expenditures for maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred. When properties are disposed of, the related costs and accumulated depreciation are removed from the respective accounts, and any gain or loss is recognized currently.

 Impairment or Disposal of Long Lived Assets

 

Long-lived assets to be held are reviewed for events or changes in circumstances which indicate that their carrying value may not be recoverable. They are tested for recoverability using undiscounted cash flows to determine whether or not impairment to such value has occurred as required by FASB ASC Topic No. 360, Property, Plant, and Equipment. The Company has determined that there was no impairment at December 31, 2017.

 

Operating Leases

 

On July 23, 2014, the Company entered into an agreement with its landlord to extend the facilities lease by five years. The previous ten year lease was to expire on December 31, 2015. The agreement amended the lease to expire on December 31, 2020. The lease amendment was effective August 1, 2014 and included a four-month rental abatement in the amount of $117,660. In exchange for the rental abatement, the Company agreed to make improvements to the facility totaling $123,505 within six months of August 1, 2014. As of December 31, 2017, the Company has completed $96,120 of the leasehold improvements. Under the lease amendment, the monthly rent on the facility was $29,415 per month, beginning on December 1, 2014. Beginning January 1, 2015, the monthly rent increases annually with the final year of the lease at $35,123 per month. The rent expense under this lease for the six months ended December 31, 2017 and 2016 was $176,239 and $176,239, respectively.

 

The Company also leases certain equipment under operating leases, as more fully described in Note 15 - Commitments and Contingencies.

 

Segment Information

 

We have identified three reportable sales channels:  Direct, Wholesale and Other.   Direct includes product sales through our five e-commerce sites and our single retail store.

 Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

In February 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued ASU 2016-02, Leases, which will amend current lease accounting to require lessees to recognize (i) a lease liability, which is a lessee’s obligation to make lease payments arising from a lease, measured on a discounted basis, and (ii) a right-of-use asset, which is an asset that represents the lessee’s right to use, or control the use of, a specified asset for the lease term. ASU 2016-02 does not significantly change lease accounting requirements applicable to lessors; however, certain changes were made to align, where necessary, lessor accounting with the lessee accounting model. This standard will be effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those fiscal years. We are currently reviewing the provisions of this ASU to determine of there will be any impact on our results of operations, cash flows or financial condition.

 

In April 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016–10, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Identifying Performance Obligations and Licensing. The amendments in this Update do not change the core principle of the guidance in Topic 606. Rather, the amendments in this Update clarify the following two aspects of Topic 606: identifying performance obligations and the licensing implementation guidance, while retaining the related principles for those areas. Topic 606 includes implementation guidance on (a) contracts with customers to transfer goods and services in exchange for consideration and (b) determining whether an entity’s promise to grant a license provides a customer with either a right to use the entity’s intellectual property (which is satisfied at a point in time) or a right to access the entity’s intellectual property (which is satisfied over time). The amendments in this Update are intended render more detailed implementation guidance with the expectation to reduce the degree of judgment necessary to comply with Topic 606. We are currently reviewing the provisions of this ASU to determine if there will be any impact on our results of operations, cash flows or financial condition. 

 

In May 2017, the FASB issued an Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2017-09, Compensation - Stock Compensation (Topic718) Clarifying share-based payment modification guidance. The amendments in this update clarify when to account for a change to the terms or conditions of a share-based payment award as a modification. Under the new guidance, modification accounting is required only if the fair value, the vesting conditions, or the classification of the award (as equity or liability) changes as a result of the change in terms or conditions. The guidance is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017 and should be applied prospectively on or after the effective date, with early adoption permitted. We are currently reviewing the provisions of this ASU to determine if there will be any impact on our results of operations, cash flows or financial condition.

 

All other newly issued accounting pronouncements, but not yet effective, have been deemed either immaterial or not applicable.

Net Income (Loss) Per Share 

Basic net income (loss) per common share was determined by dividing net income (loss) applicable to common stockholders by the weighted average common shares outstanding during the period, and diluted net income per share was determined by dividing net income applicable to common stockholders by the weighted average common shares outstanding during the period plus the effect of stock options using the treasury stock method.  As of December 31, 2017 and 2016, the common stock equivalents did not have any effect on net income per share.

Income Taxes

 

We utilize the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes. We recognize deferred tax liabilities or assets for the expected future tax consequences of temporary differences between the book and tax basis of assets and liabilities. We regularly assess the likelihood that our deferred tax assets will be recovered from future taxable income. We consider projected future taxable income and ongoing tax planning strategies in assessing the amount of the valuation allowance necessary to offset our deferred tax assets that will not be recoverable. We have recorded and continue to carry a full valuation allowance against our gross deferred tax assets that will not reverse against deferred tax liabilities within the scheduled reversal period. If we determine in the future that it is more likely than not that we will realize all or a portion of our deferred tax assets, we will adjust our valuation allowance in the period we make the determination. We expect to provide a full valuation allowance on our future tax benefits until we can sustain a level of profitability that demonstrates our ability to realize these assets.

 

Stock Based Compensation

 

We account for stock-based compensation to employees in accordance with FASB ASC 718, Compensation – Stock Compensation. We measure the cost of each stock option and restricted stock award at its fair value on the grant date. Each award vests over the subsequent period during which the recipient is required to provide service in exchange for the award (the vesting period). The cost of each award is recognized as expense in the financial statements over the respective vesting period.

 

Stock Issued for Services to other than Employees

 

Common stock, stock options and common stock warrants issued to other than employees or directors are recorded on the basis of their fair value, as required by FASB ASC 505, which is measured as of the date required by FASB ASC 505, “Equity – Based Payments to Non-Employees”. In accordance with FASB ASC 505, the stock options or common stock warrants are valued using the Black-Scholes option pricing model on the basis of the market price of the underlying common stock on the “valuation date”, which for options and warrants related to contracts that have substantial disincentives to non-performance is the date of the contract, and for all other contracts is the vesting date. Expense related to the options and warrants is recognized on a straight-line basis over the shorter of the period over which services are to be received or the vesting period. Where expense must be recognized prior to a valuation date, the expense is computed under the Black-Scholes option pricing model on the basis of the market price of the underlying common stock at the end of the period, and any subsequent changes in the market price of the underlying common stock up through the valuation date is reflected in the expense recorded in the subsequent period in which that change occurs.

 

 NOTE 4. IMPAIRMENT OF LONG-LIVED ASSETS

 

We follow Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification (“FASB ASC”) 360, Property, Plant, and Equipment, regarding impairment of our other long-lived assets (property, plant and equipment). Our policy is to assess our long-lived assets for impairment annually in the fourth quarter of each year or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of these assets may not be recoverable.

 

 An impairment loss is recognized only if the carrying value of a long-lived asset is not recoverable and is measured as the excess of its carrying value over its fair value. The carrying amount of a long-lived asset is considered not recoverable if it exceeds the sum of the undiscounted cash flows expected to result from the use of a long-lived asset.

 

Assets to be disposed of and related liabilities would be separately presented in the consolidated balance sheet. Assets to be disposed of would be reported at the lower of the carrying value or fair value less costs to sell and would not be depreciated.  There was no impairment as of December 31, 2017 or June 30, 2017.

Management reviews long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of such assets may not be recoverable. Recoverability of these assets is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount to forecasted undiscounted future cash flows expected to be generated by the asset. If the carrying amount exceeds its estimated future cash flows, then an impairment charge is recognized to the extent that the carrying amount exceeds the asset’s fair value. Management has determined no asset impairment occurred during the six months ended December 31, 2017.

NOTE 13. LINE OF CREDIT

 

On May 24, 2011, the Company’s wholly owned subsidiary, OneUp and OneUp’s wholly owned subsidiary, Foam Labs entered into a credit facility with a finance company, Advance Financial Corporation, to provide it with an asset based line of credit of up to $750,000 against 85% of eligible accounts receivable (as defined in the agreement) for the purpose of improving working capital.  The term of the agreement was one year, renewable for additional one-year terms unless either party provides written notice of non-renewal at least 90 days prior to the end of the current financing period. The credit facility was secured by our accounts receivable and other rights to payment, general intangibles, inventory and equipment, and are subject to eligibility requirements for current accounts receivable. Advances under the agreement were charged interest at a rate of 2.5% over the lenders Index Rate.  In addition there was a Monthly Service Fee (as defined in the agreement) of up to 1.25% per month.

 

On September 4, 2013, the credit agreement with Advance Financial Corporation was amended and restated to increase the asset based line of credit to $1,000,000 to include an Inventory Advance (as defined in the amended and restated receivable financing agreement) of up to the lesser of $300,000 or 75% of the eligible accounts receivable loan. In addition, the amended and restated agreement changed the interest calculation to prime rate plus 3% (as of December 31, 2017, the interest rate was 7.5%) and the Monthly Service Fee was changed to .5% per month.

 

On December 9, 2015, the credit agreement with Advance Financial Corporation was amended to increase the asset based line of credit to $1,200,000 to include an Inventory Advance (as defined in the amended and restated receivable financing agreement) of up to the lesser of $300,000 or 75% of the eligible accounts receivable loan. All other terms of the credit facility remain the same.

 

The Company’s CEO, Louis Friedman, has personally guaranteed the repayment of the facility.  In addition, Luvu Brands has provided its corporate guarantee of the credit facility (see Note 16).  On December 31, 2017, the balance owed under this line of credit was $690,461.  As of December 31, 2017, we were current and in compliance with all terms and conditions of this line of credit.

 

 Management believes cash flows generated from operations, along with current cash and investments as well as borrowing capacity under the line of credit should be sufficient to finance capital requirements required by operations. If new business opportunities do arise, additional outside funding may be required.

 

 NOTE 14. UNSECURED LINES OF CREDIT 

 

The Company has drawn a cash advance on one unsecured line of credit that is in the name of the Company and Louis S. Friedman. The terms of this unsecured line of credit calls for monthly payments of principal and interest, with interest at 8%. The aggregate amount owed on the unsecured line of credit was $38,587 at December 31, 2017 and $14,690 at June 30, 2017.

NOTE 15. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

 

Operating Leases

 

On July 23, 2014, the Company entered into an agreement with its landlord to extend the facilities lease by five years. The previous ten year lease was to expire on December 31, 2015. The agreement amends the lease to expire on December 31, 2020. The lease amendment was effective August 1, 2014 and included a four month rental abatement in the amount of $117,660. In exchange for the rental abatement, the Company agreed to make improvements to the facility totaling $123,505 within six months of August 1, 2014. As of December 31, 2017, the Company has completed $96,120 of the leasehold improvements. In addition, the monthly rent on the facility decreased from the current rent of $33,139 to $29,415 per month, beginning on December 1, 2014. Beginning January 1, 2015, the monthly rent is on an escalating schedule with the final year of the lease at $35,123 per month.

Stock-based compensation

 

We account for stock-based compensation to employees in accordance with FASB ASC 718, Compensation – Stock Compensation. We measure the cost of each stock option and at its fair value on the grant date. Each award vests over the subsequent period during which the recipient is required to provide service in exchange for the award (the vesting period). The cost of each award is recognized as expense in the financial statements over the respective vesting period.

 

Stock option-based compensation expense recognized in the condensed consolidated statements of operations for the three and six month periods ended December 31, 2017 and 2016 are based on awards ultimately expected to vest, and is reduced for estimated forfeitures.

 

The following table summarizes stock option-based compensation expense by line item in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations, all relating to the Plans:

Three Months Ended December 31, 2017 Compared to Three Months Ended December 31, 2016

 

Net sales. Sales for the three months ended December 31, 2017 were $4,635,160, a 10% decrease from the comparable prior year period.  The major components of net sales, by product, are as follows:

 

·Liberator sales - Sales of Liberator branded products decreased $133,000 (or 6%) during the quarter from the comparable prior year period, due primarily to lower sales through certain e-merchant customers, including Amazon.
·Jaxx sales – Jaxx product sales increased 30% from the prior year second quarter, primarily due to an expanded product offering of outdoor products and greater sales through e-merchants, including Amazon.
·Avana sales – Net sales of Avana products increased 26% during the quarter from the comparable prior year quarter. This line of top-of-bed comfort products continues to sell well through e-merchant channels with broad consumer reach including Amazon, Brookstone and others.
·Products purchased for resale – This product category declined by $680,000 from the prior year second quarter and was driven by a $894,000 decrease in the sales of Tenga products, as we have terminated our relationship with Tenga to focus our efforts on sales of our own branded products.

 

Gross margin. Gross profit, derived from net sales less the cost of goods sold, includes the cost of materials, direct labor, manufacturing overhead, freight costs and depreciation.  Gross margin as a percentage of sales decreased slightly to 29% from 30% in the prior year period, primarily due to an increase in production labor costs.

 

Operating expenses. Total operating expenses for the three months ended December 31, 2017 were 23% of net sales, or approximately $1,075,000, compared to 20% of net sales, or approximately $1,020,000, for the same period in the prior year.  The increase was primarily due to higher General and administrative expense, which resulted primarily from higher business insurance expense and personnel costs.

 

Other income (expense). Other income (expense) during the second quarter increased from expense of approximately ($122,000) in fiscal 2017 to expense of approximately ($134,000) during the second quarter of fiscal 2018.

 

Six Months Ended December 31, 2017 Compared to Six Months Ended December 31, 2016

Net sales. Net sales for the six months ended December 31, 2017 decreased to $8,258,082 from the comparable prior year period by $980,936, or 11%. The major components of net sales, by product, are as follows:

 

·Liberator sales - Sales of Liberator branded products decreased $358,000 (or 9%) during the six months from the comparable prior year period, due primarily to lower sales through certain e-merchant customers, including Amazon.
·Jaxx sales – Jaxx product sales increased 29% from the prior year first half, primarily due to an expanded product offering of outdoor products and greater sales through e-merchants, including Amazon.
·Avana sales – Net sales of Avana products increased 44% during the first six month from the comparable prior year quarter. This line of top-of-bed comfort products continues to sell well through e-merchant channels with broad consumer reach including Amazon, Brookstone and others.
·Products purchased for resale – This product category declined by $1,296,000 from the prior year second quarter and was driven by a $1,661,000 decrease in the sales of Tenga products.

 

Gross margin. Gross profit, derived from net sales less the cost of goods sold, includes the cost of materials, direct labor, manufacturing overhead, freight costs and depreciation.  Total gross profit for the six months ended December 31, 2017 decreased to $2,336,945 from $2,517,950 (a decrease of approximately 7%) in the comparable prior year period. Gross profit as a percentage of net sales increased to 28.3% for the six months ended December 31, 2017 from 27.3% in the comparable prior year period. This increase in gross profit as a percentage of net sales is a result of the shift in net sales to higher margin manufactured products from the lower margin products purchased for resale.

 

26


 
 

 

Operating expenses. Total operating expenses for the six months ended December 31, 2017 were 25.6% of net sales, or $2,114,120, compared to 21.9% of net sales, or $2,022,018, for the same period in the prior year. General and administrative expense increased by 7.3% and was primarily the result of higher business insurance expense, personnel costs, and costs related to providing employee health benefits mandated by the Affordable Care Act.

 

Other income (expense). Other income (expense) decreased from an expense of ($274,202) in fiscal 2017 to an expense of ($266,615) in fiscal 2018. The decrease was primarily due to lower interest expense on lower average loan balances.

 

Variability of Results

 

We have experienced significant quarterly fluctuations in operating results and anticipate that these fluctuations may continue in future periods. Operating results have fluctuated as a result of changes in sales levels to consumers and wholesalers, competition, seasonality costs associated with new product introductions, and increases in raw material costs. In addition, future operating results may fluctuate as a result of factors beyond our control such as foreign exchange fluctuation, changes in government regulations, and economic changes in the regions in which we operate and sell. A portion of our operating expenses are relatively fixed and the timing of increases in expense levels is based in large part on forecasts of future sales. Therefore, if net sales are below expectations in any given period, the adverse impact on results of operations may be magnified by our inability to meaningfully adjust spending in certain areas, or the inability to adjust spending quickly enough, as in personnel and administrative costs, to compensate for a sales shortfall. We may also choose to increase spending in response to market conditions, and these decisions may have a material adverse effect on financial condition and results of operations.

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

The following table summarizes our cash flows:        
    Six Months Ended
    December 31,
(Dollars in thousands)   2017   2016
    (Unaudited)
Cash flow data:        
Cash provided by operating activities   $ 160     $ 64  
Cash used in investing activities   $ (18 )   $ (47 )
Cash provided by (used in) financing activities   $ (317   $ 8  

    

As of December 31, 2017, our cash and cash equivalents totaled $566,925, compared to $569,939 in cash and cash equivalents as of December 31, 2016.

 

For purposes of reporting cash flows, the Company considers all highly liquid debt instruments purchased with a maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. Our principal sources of liquidity are our cash flow that we generate from our operations, availability of borrowings under our line of credit and cash raised through equity and debt financings.

 

Operating Activities

 

Net cash provided by operating activities was $160,336 in the six months ended December 31, 2017 compared to $64,022 of net cash provided by operating activities in the six months ended December 31, 2016.  The primary components of the cash provided by operating activities in the current year is the increase in accounts payable of $217,040, a decrease in the inventory reserve of $31,732 and depreciation expense of $106,117, offset in part by an increase in accounts receivable of $72,360 and an increase in inventory of $53,509.

 

Investing Activities

 

Cash used in investing activities in the six months ended December 31, 2017 was $18,343 and related to the purchase and installation of certain production equipment and leasehold improvements during the first and second quarter.

Financing Activities

 

Cash used in financing activities during the six months ended December 31, 2017 of $317,261 was primarily attributable to the repayment of the credit card advance and unsecured notes payable, offset in part by the proceeds for borrowing on an unsecured note payable.

Cash provided by financing activities during the six months ended December 31, 2016 of $8,234 was primarily attributable to the increase of borrowings under the credit card advance, the revolving line of credit and the sale of common stock, offset by repayments of unsecured notes payable, repayment of term note-shareholder and payments on equipment notes and capital leases.

Inflation

 

We cannot determine the precise effects of inflation; however, inflation continues to have an influence on the cost of materials, salaries, and transportation costs.  We attempt to offset the effects of inflation through increased selling prices, productivity improvements, and reduction of costs.

 

Sufficiency of Liquidity

 

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, which contemplates continuation of the Company as a going concern. We incurred a net loss of approximately $43,790 for the six months ended December 31, 2017 and net income of approximately $203,000 for the year ended June 30, 2017. As of December 31, 2017, we have an accumulated deficit of approximately $9,050,000 and a working capital deficit of approximately $1,865,000. This raises substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.

 

In view of these matters, realization of a major portion of the assets in the accompanying balance sheet is dependent upon continued operations of the Company, which in turn is dependent upon our ability to meet our financing requirements, and the success of our future operations. Management believes that actions presently being taken to revise our operating and financial requirements provide the opportunity for the Company to continue as a going concern.

 

These actions include an ongoing initiative to increase sales, gross profits and our gross profit margin. To that end, we continued to make improvements to our e-commerce sites during 2017. At the end of fiscal 2016 we ordered new equipment to increase our fabric cutting capacity; this equipment was delivered and installed during the first quarter of fiscal 2017. At the end of fiscal 2017, we evaluated various options for increasing the throughput of our compressed foam products and during the first quarter of fiscal 2017, we purchased new equipment for installation during the second quarter of fiscal 2017. These actions should yield higher sales at a lower cost of goods sold. We also plan to continue to manage discretionary expense levels to be better aligned with current and expected revenue levels. We estimate that the operational and strategic growth plans we have identified over the next twelve months will require approximately $250,000 of funding, of which we estimate will be provided by debt financing and, to a lesser extent, cash flow from operations as well as cash on hand.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

 

Reconciliation of net income to Adjusted EBITDA income for the six months ended December 31, 2017 and 2016: 

 

 (Dollars in thousands)  Six months ended December 31,
   2017  2016
Net (loss) income  $(44)  $222 
Less interest income   —      —   
Plus interest expense, net   267    273 
Plus depreciation and amortization expense   106    103 
Plus stock-based compensation   12    14 
Adjusted EBITDA income  $341   $612 

  

As used herein, Adjusted EBITDA income represents net income before interest income, interest expense, income taxes, depreciation, amortization, and stock-based compensation expense. We have excluded the non-cash expenses and stock-based compensation, as they do not reflect the cash-based operations of the Company. Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure which is not required by or defined under GAAP (Generally Accepted Accounting Principles). The presentation of this financial measure is not intended to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for the financial measures prepared and presented in accordance with GAAP, including the net loss of the Company or net cash used in operating activities.

 

Management recognizes that non-GAAP financial measures have limitations in that they do not reflect all of the items associated with the Company’s net income or net loss as determined in accordance with GAAP, and are not a substitute for or a measure of the Company’s profitability or net earnings. Adjusted EBITDA is presented because we believe it is useful to investors as a measure of comparative operating performance and liquidity, and because it is less susceptible to variances in actual performance resulting from depreciation and non-cash charges for stock-based compensation expense.

 

ITEM 3.                        QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

 

We do not enter into any transactions using derivative financial instruments or derivative commodity instruments and believe that our exposure to market risk associated with other financial instruments is not material.

 

 

ITEM 4.                        CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

 

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

 

We maintain a set of disclosure controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in SEC rules and forms and to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to management to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures. As of the end of the period covered by this quarterly report, an evaluation was carried out under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our principal executive officer (Chief Executive Officer) and principal financial officer (Chief Financial Officer), of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures. Based on that evaluation, our CEO and CFO concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures, as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, were effective at the reasonable assurance level to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in United States Securities and Exchange Commission rules and forms and to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the management, including CEO and CFO, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures.

 

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

 

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during our most recent fiscal quarter that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
