LUVU BRANDS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

FOR THE NINE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 2019 (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 marketer of a portfolio of consumer lifestyle brands including: Liberator®, a brand category of iconic products for enhancing sensuality and intimacy; Avana® inclined bed therapy products, assistive in relieving medical conditions associated with acid reflux, surgery recovery and chronic pain; and Jaxx®, a diverse range of casual fashion daybeds, sofas and beanbags made from virgin and re-purposed polyurethane foam. 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 either roll or 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 nine months ended March 31, 2019 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, 2018.

 

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 March 31, 2019, the Company has an accumulated deficit of approximately $8,695,000 and a working capital deficit of approximately $1,989,000. 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, we evaluated various options for increasing the throughput of our compressed foam products and during the first quarter of fiscal 2017, we purchased new compression equipment for installation during the third quarter of fiscal 2017. During the first quarter of fiscal 2019, we acquired CNC equipment for the manufacture of wooden furniture bases for sale in certain products. These actions have, to some extent, partially offset the higher costs for labor and raw materials that we have experienced during the past 18 months. 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 $200,000 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.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

FOR THE NINE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 2019 (UNAUDITED)

 

 

NOTE 2. GOING CONCERN (Continued)

 

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.

 

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, 2018 filed on October 15, 2018.

 

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   

        

Net revenue is measured based on the amount of consideration that we expect to receive, reduced by discounts and estimates for credits and returns (calculated based upon previous experience and management’s evaluation). Outbound shipping charged to customers is recognized at the time the related merchandise revenues are recognized and are included in net revenues. Inbound and outbound shipping and delivery costs are included in cost of revenues. Net revenues exclude sales and other similar taxes collected from customers.

 

A description of our principal revenue generating activities is as follows:

 

·E-commerce revenues - consumer products sold through our online and telephonic channels. Revenue is recognized when control of the merchandise is transferred to the customer, which generally occurs upon shipment. Payment is typically due on the date of shipment.

 

·Wholesale revenues - products sold to our wholesale customers for subsequent resale. Revenue is recognized when control of the goods is transferred to the customer, in accordance with the terms of the applicable agreement. Payment terms are typically 30 days from the date control over the product is transferred to the customer.

 

·         Retail revenues - consumer products sold through our retail store. Revenue is recognized when control of the goods is transferred to the customer, at the point of sale, at which time payment is received.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

FOR THE NINE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 2019 (UNAUDITED)

 

Revenue Recognition (continued)

 

The Company accounts for revenue in accordance with Topic 606 which was adopted at the beginning of fiscal year 2019 using the modified retrospective method. The comparative information has not been restated and continues to be reported under the accounting standards in effect for those periods. The Company did not recognize any cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings upon adoption as the effect was immaterial. The adoption of these standards did not have a material impact on the Company's condensed consolidated statements of operations during the nine months ended March 31, 2019. Refer to Note 15 – Business Segments for disclosure of disaggregated revenues.

Deferred revenues

 

Deferred revenues are recorded when the Company has received consideration (i.e. advance payment) before satisfying its performance obligations. Deferred revenues primarily relate to gift cards purchased, but not used, prior to the end of the fiscal period.  

 

Our total deferred revenue as of June 30, 2018 was $13,324 and was included in “Accrued expenses” on our consolidated balance sheets. The deferred revenue balance as of March 31, 2019 was $13,746.

Cost of Goods Sold

 

Cost of goods sold includes raw materials, labor, manufacturing overhead, freight cost, depreciation and royalty expense.

 

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.

 

 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 March 31, 2019 and June 30, 2018.

 

   March 31,
2019
  June 30,
2018
   (in thousands)
Accounts receivable  $758   $687 
Allowance for doubtful accounts   (20)   (24)
Allowance for discounts and returns   (6)   (6)
Total accounts receivable, net  $732   $657 

 

Inventories and Inventory Reserves

 

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value. Cost is determined using the first-in, first-out (FIFO) method. Net realizable value 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 net realizable value 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 March 31, 2019 that exceeded the balance insured by the FDIC by $221,779.  Accounts receivable are typically unsecured and are derived from revenue earned from customers primarily located in North America and Europe.

 

During the three and nine months ended March 31, 2019, we purchased 41% and 37%, respectively, of total inventory and material purchases from one vendor.

 

During the fiscal year ended June 30, 2018, we purchased 17% total inventory and material purchases from one vendor.

 

As of March 31, 2019 one of the Company’s customers (Amazon) represents 50% of the total accounts receivables compared to 54% as of June 30, 2018.

 

Fair Value of Financial and Derivative Instruments

 

At March 31, 2019, 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. 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).

Expenses for new product development totaled $96,570 and $110,385 for the nine months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018, 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 the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) ASC Topic No. 360, Property, Plant, and Equipment. The Company has determined that there was no impairment at March 31, 2019.

 

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 nine months of August 1, 2014. As of March 31, 2019, the Company has completed $101,776 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 three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018 and the nine months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018 was $88,120 and $264,359, respectively.

 

The Company also leases certain equipment under operating leases, as more fully described in Note 16 - Commitments and Contingencies.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-09, "Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606)," which supersedes the revenue recognition requirements in Accounting Standards Codification 605, "Revenue Recognition." This ASU is based on the principle that revenue is recognized to depict the transfer of 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 or services. The ASU also requires additional disclosure about the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from customer contracts, including significant judgments and changes in judgments and assets recognized from costs incurred to obtain or fulfill a contract. In August 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-14, which deferred the effective date of the new revenue standard by one year, and allowed entities the option to early adopt the new revenue standard as of the original effective date. There have been multiple standards updates amending this guidance or providing corrections or improvements on issues in the guidance. The requirements for these standards relating to Topic 606 are effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017. This standard permitted adoption using one of two transition methods, either the retrospective or modified retrospective transition method. The Company adopted these standards at the beginning of fiscal year 2019 using the modified retrospective method. The comparative information has not been restated and continues to be reported under the accounting standards in effect for those periods. The adoption of these standards did not have a material impact on the Company's condensed consolidated statements of operations during the nine months ended March 31, 2019.

 

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 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 if there will be any impact on our results of operations, cash flows or financial condition.

  

In May 2017, FASB issued ASU No. 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, 2016 and should be applied prospectively on or after the effective date, with early adoption permitted. The Company adopted ASU 2016-09 effective July 1, 2017, which had no material impact on its previously reported financial statements included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for fiscal 2017 and 2018. The Company has elected to continue to recognize estimated forfeitures as stock-based compensation expense.

 

In June 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-07 “Improvements to Nonemployee Share-Based Payment Accounting” (“ASU 2018-07”).  ASU 2018-07 aligns the accounting for share-based payment awards to employees and non-employees.  Under ASU 2018-07 the existing employee guidance will apply to nonemployee share-based transactions, except for specific guidance related to the attribution of compensation cost. ASU 2018-07 should be applied to all new awards granted after the date of adoption. ASU 2018-07 is effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2018, and early adoption is permitted.  The Company does not expect the adoption of ASU 2018-02 to have a material impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.

 

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

Net Income Per Share 

Basic net income per common share was determined by dividing net income 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 March 31, 2019 and 2018, the common stock equivalents did not have any effect on net income per share. 

   March 31,
   2019  2018
Common stock options – 2009 Plan   200,000    1,469,000 
Common stock options – 2015 Plan   4,050,000    4,575,000 
Convertible preferred stock   4,300,000    4,300,000 
  Total   8,550,000    10,344,000 

 

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.

 

NOTE 4. IMPAIRMENT OF LONG-LIVED ASSETS

 

We follow 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 March 31, 2019 or June 30, 2018.

NOTE 6. EQUIPMENT AND LEASEHOLD IMPROVEMENTS

 

Equipment and leasehold improvements are stated at cost. Depreciation and amortization are provided using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives for equipment and furniture and fixtures, or the shorter of the remaining lease term or estimated useful lives for leasehold improvements. Equipment and leasehold improvements consisted of the following:

   March 31, 2019  June 30, 2018  Estimated Useful Life
   (in thousands)   
Factory equipment  $2,532   $2,472   2-10 years

Accumulated depreciation   (3,509)   (3,385)   
 Equipment and leasehold improvements, net  $729   $786    

 

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 three and nine months ended March 31, 2019.

 On September 5, 2014, the Company amended and restated its outstanding 3% Convertible Note in the original principal amount of $375,000 issued by the Company to Hope Capital, Inc. (“HCI”) on June 24, 2009, as amended (the “June 2009 Note”), and the 3% Convertible Note in the original principal amount of $250,000 issued by the Company to HCI on September 2, 2009, as amended (the “September 2009 Note”), the June 2009 Note and September 2009 Note collectively referred to as the “Original Notes”, to provide for a 3% unsecured promissory note in the principal amount of $700,000 (the “Note”) to HCI.

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 March 31, 2019, the interest rate was 8.25%) 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.

 

On November 27, 2018, the credit agreement with Advance Financial Corporation was amended to increase the Inventory Advance (as defined in the amended and restated receivable financing agreement) of up to the lesser of $500,000 or 125% 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 17).  On March 31, 2019, the balance owed under this line of credit was $978,226.  As of March 31, 2019, 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 10.25%. The aggregate amount owed on the unsecured line of credit was $28,160 at March 31, 2019 and $33,145 at June 30, 2018.

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 month and nine month periods ended March 31, 2019 and 2018 are based on awards ultimately expected to vest, and is reduced for estimated forfeitures.

Three Months Ended March 31, 2019 Compared to Three Months Ended March 31, 2018

 

Net sales. Sales for the three months ended March 31, 2019 were $4,309,358, an increase of 1% 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 slightly (approximately $9,000) during the quarter from the comparable prior year period, due primarily to lower sales of Liberator products through Amazon.com.
·Jaxx sales – Jaxx product sales increased 4% (or approximately $33,000) from the prior year third quarter, primarily due to higher sales through Wayfair and Walmart.
·Avana sales – Net sales of Avana products increased $166,000 (or 24%) 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, Overstock and our own e-commerce site, AvanaComfort.com.
·Products purchased for resale – This product category declined by $172,000 (or 28%) from the prior year third quarter due to lower sales of certain products through Amazon and our Liberator.com e-commerce site.

 

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, royalty expense and depreciation.  Gross margin as a percentage of sales decreased to 29% from 30% in the prior year period primarily due to an increase in production costs (labor and materials) that has not yet been offset by any increase in selling prices. The Company raised prices on certain Liberator products approximately 3% to 5% in January, 2019, however the impact of this price increase has, to a large degree, been offset by increases in production costs.

 

Operating expenses. Total operating expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2019 were 23% of net sales, or approximately $1,010,000, compared to 24% of net sales, or approximately $1,026,000, for the same period in the prior year.  Of the approximately $16,000 decrease, approximately $10,000 was due to lower advertising expense, and $4,000 was due to lower depreciation expense.

 

Other income (expense). Other income (expense) during the third quarter increased from expense of approximately ($128,000) in fiscal 2018 to expense of approximately ($137,000) during the third quarter of fiscal 2019. The increase was primarily due to recent increases in the prime interest rate and the resulting increase in the company’s borrowing costs.

 

Nine Months Ended March 31, 2019 Compared to Nine Months Ended March 31, 2018

 

Net sales. Sales for the nine months ended March 31, 2019 were $13,001,857, a 4% increase from the comparable prior year period.  The major components of net sales, by product, are as follows:

 

·Liberator sales - Sales of Liberator branded products increased $236,000 (or 4%) during the first nine months of fiscal 2019 from the comparable prior year period, due primarily to greater sales through Amazon.com.
·Jaxx sales – Jaxx product sales increased 5% from the prior year first half, primarily due to an expanded product offering of outdoor products and greater sales through e-merchants, including Amazon and Wayfair.
·Avana sales – Net sales of Avana products increased 45% during the first nine month from the comparable prior year period, an increase of $738,000. This line of comfort products continues to sell well through e-merchant channels with broad consumer reach including Amazon, Overstock and others.
·Products purchased for resale – This product category declined by $624,000 (or 33%) from the prior year first nine months due to lower sales of certain purchased products to and through Amazon.

 

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.  Despite a $478,000 increase in net sales, gross profit decreased slightly to $3,559,000 for the nine months ended March 31, 2019 from $3,614,000 in the comparable prior year period. Gross margin as a percentage of sales decreased to 27% from 29% in the prior year period primarily due to an increase in production costs (labor and materials) that has not yet been fully offset by the January, 2019 increase in selling prices. The Company raised prices on Liberator products approximately 3% to 5% in January, 2019, however the impact of this price increase has, to a large degree been offset by increases in production costs.

 

Operating expenses. Total operating expenses for the nine months ended March 31, 2019 were 23% of net sales, or approximately $2,972,000, compared to 25% of net sales, or approximately $3,141,000, for the same period in the prior year.  Of the $169,000 decrease, approximately $49,000 was due to lower selling and administrative salaries, $45,000 in lower advertising expense, and $27,000 was due to lower depreciation expense.

 

Other income (expense). Other income (expense) during the first nine months of fiscal 2019 increased to expense of approximately ($423,000) from expense of approximately ($394,000) during the first nine months of fiscal 2018. The increase was primarily due to higher average borrowing balances and rising interest rates.

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:      
   Nine Months Ended
   March 31,
(Dollars in thousands)  2019  2018
   (Unaudited)
Cash flow data:          
Cash provided by operating activities  $77   $153 
Cash used in investing activities  $(12)  $(22)
Cash used in financing activities  $(95)  $(493)

    

As of March 31, 2019, our cash and cash equivalents totaled $400,658, compared to $380,347 in cash and cash equivalents as of March 31, 2018.

 

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 $77,319 in the nine months ended March 31, 2019 compared to $152,478 net cash provided by operating activities in the nine months ended March 31, 2018.  The primary components of the cash provided by operating activities in the current year is the net income of $163,729 and an increase in accounts payable of $143,257, a decrease in prepaid expense and other assets of $84,430, offset in part by an increase in accounts receivable of $74,191 and an increase in inventories of $188,759.

 

Investing Activities

 

Cash used in investing activities in the nine months ended March 31, 2019 was $12,050 and related to the purchase and installation of certain production equipment during the period.

 

Financing Activities

 

Cash used in financing activities during the nine months ended March 31, 2019 of approximately $95,137 was primarily attributable to the proceeds from the unsecured notes payable, the proceeds from the increase in the line of credit, the proceeds from the credit card advance, offset in part by the repayment of the unsecured notes payable and credit card advance.

Cash used in financing activities during the nine months ended March 31, 2018 of $492,467 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.

 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 achieved a net income of approximately $164,000 for the nine months ended March 31, 2019 and net income of approximately $147,000 for the year ended June 30, 2018. As of March 31, 2019, we have an accumulated deficit of approximately $8,695,000 and a working capital deficit of approximately $1,989,000. 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 evaluated various options for increasing the throughput of our compressed foam products and during the first quarter of fiscal 2017, we purchased new compression equipment for installation during the third quarter of fiscal 2017. During the first quarter of fiscal 2019, we acquired CNC equipment for the manufacture of wooden furniture bases for sale in certain products. These actions have, to some extent, partially offset the higher costs for labor and raw materials that we have experienced during the past 18 months. 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 $200,000 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.

Except for the historical information contained herein, the matters discussed in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q include certain forward-looking statements. Those statements include, but may not be limited to, all statements regarding management’s intent, belief, and expectations, such as statements concerning our future profitability and our operating and growth strategy. Words such as believe,” anticipate,” expect,” will,” may,” should,” intend,” plan,” estimate,” predict,” potential,” continue,” likely” and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements.

 

In addition, any statements that refer to our plans, expectations, strategies or other characterizations of future events or circumstances are forward-looking statements. Readers are cautioned that these forward-looking statements are predictions and are subject to risks, uncertainties and assumptions that are difficult to predict.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

 

Reconciliation of net income to Adjusted EBITDA income for the nine months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018: 

 

 (Dollars in thousands)  Nine months ended March 31,
   2019  2018
Net income  $164   $79 
Plus interest expense, net   423    394 
Plus depreciation and amortization expense   124    151 
Plus stock-based compensation   17    18 
Adjusted EBITDA income  $728   $642 

  

 

 

29


 

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 income (loss) of the Company or net cash provided by 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.
