PART I.

ITEM 1.        Business.

General

Luvu Brands, Inc. designs, manufactures and markets a portfolio of consumer lifestyle brands through the Company’s websites, online mass / drug merchants and specialty retail stores worldwide. Brands include: Liberator^®, a brand category of iconic products for enhancing sensuality and intimacy; Avana^®, medical products (PPE products) and 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. In March, 2020, the Company began producing personal face masks under the Avana brand in response to the COVID-19 pandemic with shipments beginning in April. In April, 2020, the Company also began producing and selling medical isolation gowns. During the fourth quarter of fiscal 2020, we filled an emergency request from a local university hospital system for approximately 37,000 reusable isolation gowns.

Headquartered in Atlanta, Georgia, the Company occupies a 140,000 square foot vertically-integrated manufacturing facility and employs over 200 people.

The Company’s e-commerce websites include:  liberator.com, jaxxliving.com, and avanacomfort.com.

COVID-19

In March 2020, the World Health Organization characterized the outbreak of COVID-19 as a global pandemic and President Trump declared a national emergency concerning the pandemic. The COVID-19 pandemic has dramatically impacted the global health and economic environment, with millions of confirmed cases, business slowdowns and shutdowns and market volatility.  COVID-19 has caused, and is likely to continue to cause, significant economic disruption and is having widespread, rapidly evolving and unpredictable impacts on global society, financial markets and business practices. Various governments around the world have implemented measures in an effort to contain the virus, including social distancing, travel restrictions, border closures, limitations on public gatherings, work from home requirements, supply chain logistical changes, and closure of non-essential businesses. During the fourth quarter of fiscal 2020, the COVID-19 pandemic positively impacted our business through higher sales of PPE products and our other consumer brands. Although we have three separate brands with diverse channels of distribution, the continued COVID-19 pandemic may negatively impact our business operations and the operations of our suppliers and customers as a result of quarantines, facility closures and travel and logistics restrictions. There is substantial uncertainty regarding the duration and degree of COVID-19’s continued effects over time. The extent to which the COVID-19 pandemic impacts our business going forward will depend on numerous evolving factors we cannot reliably predict, including the duration and scope of the pandemic or recurrence thereof, timing of development and deployment of an effective vaccine, governmental, business and individuals' actions in response to the pandemic and the impact on economic activity including the possibility of recession or financial market instability. Refer to Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (Part II, Item 7 of this Form 10-K) for further discussion regarding potential risks to our business from the COVID-19 pandemic.

Corporate History

The Company was incorporated in the State of Florida on February 25, 1999, under the name of WES Consulting, Inc. On October 19, 2009, the Company entered into a Merger and Recapitalization Agreement (the “Merger Agreement”) with Liberator, Inc., a Nevada corporation (“Old Liberator”).  Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, Old Liberator merged with and into the Company, with the Company surviving as the sole remaining entity (the “Merger”). On February 28, 2011, the Company name was changed from WES Consulting, Inc. to Liberator, Inc. Effective November 5, 2015, the Company changed its corporate name from Liberator, Inc. to Luvu Brands, Inc. to reflect its broader offering of wellness and lifestyle products designed for mass market channels.

Overview of our Facilities and Operations

Since inception we have used a vertically integrated business model, with manufacturing, distribution, product development and marketing performed in-house. We believe this allows us to create new products with reduced lead times at a lower cost while enabling us to quickly respond to market and customer demands for our existing products. For our wholesale accounts, being able to fulfill large orders with shorter turnaround times allows us to capture business during December and February when wholesale customers make just-in-time holiday purchases.

Our 140,000 square foot facility on eight acres is located in a suburb of metro Atlanta, Georgia and includes manufacturing and distribution, sales and marketing, product development, customer service and administrative staff. All of the Liberator, Jaxx and Avana branded products are designed, produced and marketed from our facility in Atlanta, Georgia where we currently employ 204 people. As of the date of this report, the Company employs 167 people in Production and Distribution, 2 people in Product Development, 14 people in Sales and Marketing, and 21 people in Administration. The Company’s employment levels may change seasonally based on current and anticipated order levels.

Our Atlanta-based manufacturing operation has two CAD controlled fabric cutters, one CAD controlled wood cutter, one CAD controlled foam contouring machine and two state-of-the-art conveyor unit production sewing systems. Our sewing equipment is also highly automated with conveyor based lines leading into vacuum and roll compression packaging of finished products. We believe that our in-house manufacturing capabilities have enabled us to achieve greater efficiencies and cost savings, as well as strict control over the entire manufacturing cycle including raw material procurement, finished goods production and logistics optimization. In addition to providing us with greater production flexibility, our in-house manufacturing provides us with the opportunity to improve fulfillment response time, reduces the risk of out-of-stock situations, limits finished goods obsolescence and improves overall operating margins.

Because fabric cutting, sewing, foam contouring, assembly and vacuum packaging are performed in-house, we believe we can exercise greater control over product quality and respond faster to changing customer demands, which gives us a competitive advantage over companies that utilize only out-sourced sewing services. In addition, we outsource the sewing of certain high-volume products to a contract facility in Mexico which, during fiscal 2020, produced approximately 10% of our sewn product requirements.

We source raw materials from multiple domestic and foreign suppliers and we have supply contracts in place to produce our specialty fabrics under specific quality control and performance standards with just-in-time deliveries. We also repurpose approximately 3,000 pounds of polyurethane foam trim each day, primarily for Jaxx beanbags, which gives us a cost and quality competitive advantage.

During fiscal 2018, we expanded the conveyor sewing system for our Jaxx and Avana products and, in the second half of fiscal 2018, we installed new roll pack and compression equipment used for the majority of our foam-based products. All of these actions resulted in increased throughput and lower production costs in these operations. However, these operational improvements were offset in fiscal 2019 by increases in wages and raw materials costs, resulting in lower overall margins. During fiscal 2020, we expanded our production floor to also produce isolation gowns and personal protection masks.

All business activity of the Company is done through our wholly-owned subsidiary, OneUp Innovations, Inc. (“OneUp”). OneUp was organized in 2000 and began operations in 2002.

Business Strategy

Our goals are to achieve long-term growth and profitability and diversify our sales base. We plan to achieve these goals using the following strategies:

Products, Principal Markets and Methods of Distribution

Liberator Products

We developed a product category which we call “Liberator Bedroom Adventure Gear”^®. Many of the pieces in this product line are designed to elevate, create motion and create surfaces and textures that expand the sexual repertoire and make the act of love more exciting. Liberator Bedroom Adventure Gear combines functional design with sensuous textures that transform ordinary bedrooms into supportive landscapes for intimacy. Liberator products present angles, elevations, curves and motion that help people of all sizes, including those with back injuries and other medical conditions, find comfortable ways to connect intimately while assisting their stamina and performance.

 Liberator foam-based products (called “Liberator Shapes”) are manufactured in a variety of heights and widths to accommodate variations in the human body. They consist of differently shaped cushions and props that are available in an assortment of fabric colors to add to the visual excitement. Each of the product profiles of the Liberator Shapes is unique, designed to introduce positions to the sexual experience that were previously difficult to achieve or impossible to achieve with standard pillows or cushions. Liberator Shapes are manufactured from structured polyurethane foam, cut at various angles, platforms and profiles. The foam base is encased in a tight, fluid resistant polyester shell, helping the cushions to maintain their shape.  The original offering of the Liberator Wedge^® and Ramp^®, sold as a set, continue to be our best-selling items. Many of the Liberator Shapes are also available in our Black Label Series which includes blindfolds and snap-on Velcro cuffs.

We have also developed vacuum compressed large profile designs that are commonly referred to as “sex furniture”. Most of the sex furniture pieces are made from contoured urethane foam and covered in a variety of fabrics and colors. These items are marketed as the Esse^®, Flip Stage^®, Equus Wave^® and the Prelude^®.  Other larger designs include products based on shredded polyurethane foam encased in a wide range of fabric types and colors and sold under our Zeppelin^® product offering. The Liberator larger profile designs can also be used as seating when not being used for relaxed interaction and creative intimacy. Newer designs are also flat-packed with wooden bases and feet.

We conduct our wholesale business for Liberator sexual wellness products through four primary channels: (1) adult and female friendly retailers, flash sites and specialty boutiques, (2) e-tailers who sell our products through adult, mass market, drug and other sites offering sexual wellness products, (3) mail order catalogers, and (4) wholesale distributors of adult / sexual wellness products. These wholesale accounts have approximately 950 retail locations and/or websites in the United States and Canada. We have a growing number of retailers who have added a dedicated Liberator exhibition concept to their merchandising space. We also sell our products in Europe through a Netherlands-based third-party fulfillment service.

All products sold under the Liberator brand provided 37% and 44% of our revenues in each of our fiscal years ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively.

Products Purchased for Resale

Beginning in 2006, we began importing high-quality pleasure objects from around the world. These resale products provided 8% and 10% of our revenues in each of our fiscal years ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively.

Jaxx Casual Seating

The Company sells a line of contemporary casual indoor and outdoor seating under the Jaxx^® brand. Jaxx beanbags are an offshoot from Liberator manufacturing as it provides additional revenue from repurposing our polyurethane foam trim into shredded beanbag fill. The Jaxx indoor beanbag collection includes an offering of adult and children size beanbags in a variety of fabrics, faux-furs and vinyl. The Jaxx product line also includes solid foam indoor furniture collections and outdoor furniture collections that use polystyrene bead filling. The Jaxx product line and accessory products are sold through the following wholesale channels: (1) beanbag e-tailers, (2) mass marketers, (3) mail order catalogers, (4) interior designers, (5) schools and daycare centers, and (6) retail furniture stores. We also offer Jaxx private label and custom designs for large regional and national furniture chains. The Company also owns and manages a website under the URLs www.JaxxBeanBags.com and www.JaxxLiving.com for direct to consumer sales of Jaxx products. Jaxx products provided 26% and 23% of our revenues in each of our fiscal years ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively.

The contemporary seating business is highly competitive. We believe we compete effectively on the basis of product quality, good design, customer service and good price to value. We believe that our primary competitive advantages are consumer recognition of the Jaxx brand, as well as distribution through the multiple sales channels where consumers prefer to purchase.

Avana^® Products

Avana Medical Products

The Company sells a unique collection of medical and comfort products that aid in sleep, meditation, and relaxation under the Avana^® brand. These products include a diverse offering of top-of-bed support cushions and props, many of which are assistive in relieving medical conditions associated with acid reflux, surgery recovery and chronic pain. The Avana product line is sold through e-merchants (including Amazon.com, Walmart.com, medical product distributors and specialty e-tailers), mail order catalogers and through our website under the URL www.AvanaComfort.com. We believe that our Avana Medical products compete effectively on the basis of good design, through offering a wide-range of designer colors and fabrics and supported by thousands of 5-star product reviews.

Avana PPE Products

In March, 2020, the Company introduced a line of personal protection masks and in April, 2020, the Company also began producing and selling reusable isolation gowns. During the fourth quarter of fiscal 2020, we filled an emergency request from a local university hospital system for approximately 37,000 reusable isolation gowns. The company is pursuing additional sales opportunities for reusable and disposable isolation gowns but, to-date, has not received any additional gown orders or contracts.

Sales of Avana PPE products accounted for approximately 4% of our sales during fiscal 2020 and 14% of our sales during the three months ended June 30, 2020.

Total Avana products (Medical and PPE) provided 25% and 19% of our revenues in our fiscal years ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively. Sales of all Avana products increased 46% to approximately $4.6 million in fiscal 2020 over fiscal 2019.

Sales and Distribution

Our sales personnel are organized by geographic market and by customer type. In North America, we have sales personnel who routinely visit sexual wellness retailers to assist in product training, merchandising and stocking of selling areas. Through our in-house wholesale sales organization, we engage e-merchants and retailers directly and then either ship to them on a wholesale basis or provide fulfillment services by drop-shipping directly to their customers.

 In international markets, the Company has a direct sales model with a US-based salesperson. This salesperson is responsible for wholesale sales, marketing operations and customer service in Canada and the European Union and other international markets. For European customers, orders are filled from our third-party warehouse in the Netherlands or directly from our facilities in Atlanta. Total international sales represented approximately 4% of our total net sales in the years ended June 30, 2020 and 2019.

As is customary in the sexual wellness and casual furniture industry, sales to customers are generally made pursuant to purchase orders, and we do not have long-term or exclusive contracts with any of our retail customers or wholesale distributors. We believe that our continuing relationships with our customers are based upon our ability to provide a wide selection and reliable source of sexual wellness and casual furniture products, combined with our expertise in marketing and new product introduction.

Internet Websites

Since 2002, our Liberator website located at www.Liberator.com has allowed our customers to purchase our Liberator merchandise over the Internet.  We design and operate our websites using an in-house technical and creative staff.

Our www.Liberator.com website is intended to be an entertainment and educational venue where consumers can watch product demonstration videos, videos on sexual wellness topics and humorous videos on the many facets of human sexuality.

Our www.JaxxLiving.com website offers contemporary indoor and outdoor seating, which is particularly appealing to the young adult and children’s market.

Our www.AvanaComfort.com website blends rest, relaxation and health products in an offering that appeals to a broad range of consumers. Since April, 2020, we have also offered personal protection masks for sale on this website.

5

Sources and Availability of Raw Materials

We obtain all of the raw materials and components used to produce our products from outside sources. A number of components, including certain fabrics and zippers, are sourced from suppliers who currently serve as our sole or primary source of supply for these components. We believe we can obtain these raw materials and components from other sources of supply, although we could experience some short-term disruption in our ability to fulfill orders in the event of an unexpected loss of supply from one of the primary suppliers. We utilize dual sourcing on targeted components when effective.

Recent changes in U.S. trade policy, including tariffs on certain goods imported into the United States from China, have increased the costs of certain raw materials, parts or components used in our products. Such an increase may materially and adversely affect our sales and our business, as we may increase the selling prices of our products. If any increase in costs of goods cannot be passed on to our customers, our business and gross profit may be materially and adversely affected.

Major Customers

Our ten largest customers (excluding our own e-commerce sites and retail store) accounted for approximately 49% of net sales for the year ended June 30, 2020 and 53% of net sales for the year ended June 30, 2019. Sales to (and through) Amazon accounted for 34% of our net sales during the year ended June 30, 2020 and 34% of our sales for the year ended June 30, 2019. The loss of, or a significant adverse change in our relationship with, any of our largest customers could have a material adverse effect on our business, prospects, results of operations, financial condition or cash flows.  

Competition

We compete with other manufacturers, distributors and marketers of wellness, lifestyle and casual seating, both within and outside the U.S. The sexual wellness and furniture industries are highly fragmented and competition for the sale of such products comes from many sources. These products are sold primarily through retailers (independent retailers, drug store chains, and mass market retailers), distributors, and direct sales channels (internet marketing and mail order companies).

For Liberator products, we believe that our primary competitive advantage is consumer recognition of our brand. Due to the strength of our brand, we have no direct competition for the majority of our Liberator branded products. In fact, many e-commerce websites refer to Liberator as a product category and not as a discrete product. And since we sell through multiple sales channels, we provide consumers with the ability to shop for Liberator intimacy products in an environment or website that they are most comfortable in. We also believe that we differentiate ourselves from conventional sexual wellness products based on our utility of design and overall customer satisfaction as it relates to enhanced intimacy.

For Jaxx and Avana products, we believe our primary competitive advantage is good design, our offering of a wide range of designer colors and fabrics, good price to value, and our positive consumer reviews.

For our Products Purchased for Resale, competition among retailers of adult products and web-based marketers is high. Although we compete with retail, catalog, and internet businesses and now mass and drug retailers that sell sexual wellness products including vibrators, pleasure objects, accessories and similar merchandise, we believe that this opens new channels of distribution for our Liberator products and that we are able to compete favorably as our Liberator products are unique, are couple-centric, and are assistive devices for couples with sexual limitations and issues.

For the Liberator e-commerce website, other competitive factors include the effectiveness of our electronic customer mailing lists, maintaining natural search listing, advertising response rates, website design and functionality. The broad range of designs, color choice, fabrics and accessories that we offer helps to differentiate us and allows us to compete favorably against many other adult or sexual wellness websites. Liberator.com also competes against numerous mainstream websites, many of which have a greater volume of web traffic, greater financial strength and marketing resources.

We believe competition in our industries is based on, among other things, the ability to deliver the right product at the right time, product quality and safety, innovation, customer service and price. We believe we compete favorably with other companies because of our ability to provide a broad product offering for customers, our vertically integrated manufacturing operation which allows us to quickly respond to customer demand, our commitment to quality and safety, and our commitment to minimizing our environmental impact.

6

Our future competitive position will likely depend on, but not be limited to, the following:

Government Regulation

We are subject to customs, truth-in-advertising and other laws, including consumer protection regulations that regulate the promotion and sale of merchandise and the operation of warehouse facilities. We monitor changes in these laws and believe that we are in material compliance with applicable laws.

Intellectual Property

The Liberator trademark is registered with the United States Patent and Trademark office and with the registries of many foreign countries. In addition, we were issued approximately 20 other product name trademarks and trade names including: “Bedroom Adventure Gear”^®, Ramp^®, Wedge^®, Stage^®, Esse^®, Zeppelin^®, Hipster^®, Wing^®, Equus^®, Jaxx^®, Avana^®, and Bonbon^®. In August 2005, we were issued utility patent number US 6,925,669 “Support Cushion and System of Cushions.” We believe our trademarks and patent have significant value and we intend to continue to vigorously protect them against infringement.

Employees and Labor Relations

As of September 21, 2020, we had 204 employees (167 people in Production and Distribution, and 37 in sales, marketing and administrative operations).  Additional staffing is typically required to support the peak holiday period through Valentine’s Day.  None of our employees are represented by a union. We have had no labor-related work stoppages, and we believe our relationships with our employees are good.

7

 Seasonality

Our business is seasonal and, as a result, revenues will vary from quarter to quarter. During the past three years, we have realized an average of approximately 28% of our annual revenues in our second quarter, which includes Christmas, and an average of approximately 25% of our revenues in the third quarter, which includes Valentine’s Day.

Financial Information about Our Business Sales Channels

We conduct our business through two primary sales channels: Direct (consisting of our Internet websites and our Atlanta store) and Wholesale (consisting of our stocking reseller, drop-ship, contract manufacturing and distributor accounts). During our last two years, substantially all of our revenue was generated within North America, and all of our long-lived assets are located within the United States. The following is a summary of our revenues:

Net sales in the Other channel consists primarily of shipping and handling fees derived from our Direct business.

Direct

The following is a summary of our Direct business net sales and the percentage relationship to total revenues:

Wholesale

As of June 30, 2020, the Company has over 950 active wholesale accounts, most of which are located in the United States.

Sales by Product Type

The following table represents the dollars and percentage of net sales by product type:

8

Liberator - Liberator products consist of items that are manufactured by us and are intended for sale in the sexual health and wellness market. Liberator products are sold to retailers and distributors as well as directly through our three e-commerce sites and single retail store. Net sales of Liberator products decreased 8% during the year ended June 30, 2020, from the comparable year earlier period. This decrease is primarily related to lower sales to retail stores since the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic, as most (if not all) of the domestic and international wholesale customers with stores were closed during April and May, 2020.

Jaxx - Jaxx products are contemporary seating products manufactured by us and sold under the Jaxx brand. Jaxx products are sold to e-merchants and retailers as well as directly through our e-commerce site. Net sales of Jaxx products increased 21% during the year ended June 30, 2020, compared to the prior year. This increase is primarily due to greater sales of Jaxx indoor and outdoor products to (and through) Amazon and other e-merchants including Wayfair and Overstock.

Avana - The Avana product line is a unique collection of medical and comfort products that aid in sleep, meditation, and relaxation. Beginning in April, 2020, the Avana product line was expanded to include PPE products (personal protection masks and isolation gowns). Avana products are sold through e-merchants, mail order catalogers and through our e-commerce site. Sales of Avana PPE products accounted for approximately 4% of our sales during fiscal 2020 and 14% of our sales during the three months ended June 30, 2020. Net sales of Avana products increased 46% during the year ended June 30, 2020, compared to the prior year.

Products purchased for resale – Products purchased for resale are other branded products that we purchase from others at wholesale or distributor prices and resell through our sales channels to retailers, or through one of our e-commerce sites and single retail store. Sales of these products decreased 11% during the year ended June 30, 2020 from the prior year, partially due to COVID-19 related supply shortages. Sales of these products on-line is increasingly competitive and, as a result, the Company has elected to only offer a more curated selection of products that typically have a higher gross profit.

Other - Other products include sales from contract manufacturing and fulfillment services. Net sales during the year ended June 30, 2020 decreased 19% from the prior year.

ITEM 2. Properties.

We are headquartered in Atlanta, Georgia. Our mailing address is 2745 Bankers Industrial Drive, Atlanta, GA 30360. We lease a 140,000 square feet building on eight acres which we believe allows for expansion when needed. Our facility houses manufacturing, distribution and fulfillment, call center, in-house advertising and creative departments, product design group, administrative offices and a 2,500 square foot factory concept store (which is temporarily closed). 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 $117,660 within six months of August 1, 2014. As of June 30, 2020, the Company has completed $118,135 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 changed to an escalating schedule with the final year of the lease at $35,123 per month. The Company has reached a tentative agreement with its landlord to extend the lease for an additional 6 years.

See “Forward-Looking Statements” included in this report.

Results of Operations

Overview

The following table sets forth, for the periods indicated, information derived from our Consolidated Financial Statements, expressed as a percentage of net sales.  The discussion that follows the table should be read in conjunction with our Consolidated Financial Statements.

Fiscal Year ended June 30, 2020 Compared to the Fiscal Year Ended June 30, 2019

Net sales. The net sales increase of 8% in fiscal 2020 from fiscal 2019 consists of a 32% increase in sales of manufactured branded Jaxx and Avana products offset, in part, by a 8% decrease in sales of Liberator products and an 11% decrease in sales of products purchased for resale. Sales of Jaxx products increased 21% from the prior year to approximately $4.8 million during fiscal 2020, and sales of Avana products increased 46% during fiscal 2020 to approximately $4.6 million. Sales of Liberator branded products decreased 8% to $6.9 million during fiscal 2020. Sales of all products through the Wholesale sales channel in fiscal 2020 increased 12% from the prior year while the Direct sales channel decreased less than 1% from the prior year. The Wholesale sales channel includes branded products and resale products sold to brick-and-mortar retailers, and e-merchants including, but not limited to, Amazon, Overstock and Wayfair. The Wholesale sales channel also includes contract manufacturing services which consists of specialty items that are manufactured in small quantities for certain customers, and which, to date, has not been a material part of our business. The Direct sales channel consists of consumer sales through our five websites and, to a lesser extent, our single retail store. The slight decrease in sales through the Direct channel was due to lower sales of products sold through our websites.

11

Gross profit. Gross profit, derived from net sales less the cost of product sales, includes the cost of materials, direct labor, manufacturing overhead and depreciation.  Total gross profit as a percentage of sales for the year ended June 30, 2020 increased to 30% from 26% in the prior year. Gross profit dollars increased to $5,526,000 from $4,424,000 in the prior year and represented a 25% increase. Price increases that were implemented during the second half of fiscal 2019 and the first half of 2020 and increased production and sales levels during the fourth quarter of fiscal 2020 were responsible for the improvement in gross profit. The Company also moved the sewing of certain high-volume Jaxx and Avana products to a contract facility in Mexico which, during fiscal 2020, produced approximately 10% of our sewn products and reduced our total cost of production for those products.

Operating expenses. Excluding depreciation expense, total operating expenses for the year ended June 30, 2020 were 22% of net sales, or $3,924,000, compared to 22% of net sales, or $3,849,000, for the year ended June 30, 2019.  The 2% increase in operating expenses from the prior year was primarily due to higher advertising and promotion expenses which were incurred in an effort to increase sales, and slightly higher General and administrative costs..

Other income (expense). Other income (expense) increased to $(591,000) from the $(567,000) in the prior fiscal year, primarily due to higher interest expense.

We had a net income from operations of $860,000, or $0.01 per diluted share, for the year ended June 30, 2020 compared with net loss from operations of $(157,000), or $(0.00) per diluted share, for the year ended June 30, 2019.

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, the COVID-19 pandemic, 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

As of June 30, 2020, our cash and cash equivalents totaled $1,152,091 compared to $649,027 in cash and cash equivalents as of June 30, 2019.

Operating Activities

Net cash provided by operating activities primarily consists of the net income (loss) adjusted for certain non-cash items, including depreciation, stock-based compensation, and the effect of changes in operating assets and liabilities. Net cash provided by operating activities increased from the prior year due to the net income from operations and an increase in accrued payroll and related offset, in part, by an increase in accounts receivable and inventory and a decrease in accounts payable.

12

Investing Activities

Cash used in investing activities in the year ended June 30, 2020 was primarily for software development work, computer equipment and leasehold improvements and in the year ended June 30, 2019 was primarily for the purchase of production equipment, leasehold improvements and computer equipment.

Financing Activities

Cash provided by financing activities in the year ended June 30, 2020 was primarily due to the receipt of the PPP loan, proceeds from unsecured and secured notes payable, borrowing from the credit card advance and other credit facilities offset, in part, by repayment of the unsecured notes payable, the secured notes payable and the credit card advance.

Cash provided by financing activities in the year ended June 30, 2019 was primarily due to the borrowings from the unsecured notes payable, borrowing from the credit card advance and other credit facilities offset, in part, by repayment of the unsecured notes payable, the secured notes payable and the credit card advance.

Inflation

During fiscal 2019 and 2020, we experienced increases in various raw material costs and increases in labor costs. We believe these cost pressures have not stabilized and will continue to increase throughout fiscal 2021, although there is no assurance this will occur. Inflation and import tariffs can harm our margins and profitability if we are unable to increase prices or improve productivity enough to offset the effects of inflation in our cost base. Furthermore, if our customers reduce their levels of spending in response to increases in retail prices and/or we are unable to pass such cost increases to our customers, our revenues and our profit margins may decrease. 

Sufficiency of Liquidity

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”), which contemplates continuation of the Company as a going concern. The Company reported net income of approximately $860,000 for the year ended June 30, 2020 and net loss of approximately $(157,000) for the year ended June 30, 2019 and as of June 30, 2020 the Company has an accumulated deficit of approximately $8.2 million and a working capital deficit of approximately $1.4 million. This raises substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern.

In view of these matters, realization of a major portion of the assets in the accompanying consolidated 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, during the first quarter of fiscal 2018, we purchased new foam compression equipment for installation during the second quarter of fiscal 2018. These actions did yield higher factory throughput at a lower cost of goods sold but were not sufficient to offset rising raw material and labor costs. In response to rising labor costs, we moved the sewing of certain high-volume Jaxx and Avana products to a contract facility in Mexico which, during fiscal 2020, produced approximately 10% of our sewn products and reduced our total cost of production for those products.

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, at a minimum, require approximately $150,000 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.

13

Capital Resources

We expect total capital expenditures for fiscal 2021 to be less than $150,000 and to be funded by equipment loans and, to a lesser extent, anticipated operating cash flows and borrowings under the line of credit with Advance Financial Corporation. This includes capital expenditures in support of our normal operations.

If our business plans and cost estimates are inaccurate and our operations require additional cash or if we deviate from our current plans, we could be required to seek additional debt financing for particular projects or for ongoing operational needs.  This indebtedness could harm our business if we are unable to obtain additional financing on reasonable terms.  In addition, any indebtedness we incur in the future could subject us to restrictive covenants limiting our flexibility in planning for, or reacting to changes in, our business.  If we do not comply with such covenants, our lenders could accelerate repayment of our debt or restrict our access to further borrowings, which in turn could restrict our operating flexibility and endanger our ability to continue operations.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We do not use off-balance sheet arrangements with unconsolidated entities or related parties, nor do we use other forms of off-balance sheet arrangements. Accordingly, our liquidity and capital resources are not subject to off-balance sheet risks from unconsolidated entities. As of June 30, 2020, we did not have any off-balance sheet arrangements, as defined in Item 303(a)(4)(ii) of SEC Regulation S-K.

We have entered into operating leases primarily for certain equipment and our facilities in the normal course of business. These arrangements are often referred to as a form of off-balance-sheet financing. Future minimum lease payments under our operating leases as of June 30, 2020 are detailed in the section entitled “Commitments and Contingencies” in the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

Effect of Recently Issued Accounting Standards and Estimates

We do not believe that any recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting standards, if currently adopted, will have a material effect on our consolidated financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.

Application of Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

Our consolidated financial statements included under Item 8 in this report have been prepared in accordance with GAAP. Our significant accounting policies are described in the notes to our consolidated financial statements. The preparation of financial statements in accordance with GAAP requires that we make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in our financial statements and their accompanying notes. We have identified certain policies that we believe are important to the portrayal of our financial condition and results of operations. These policies require the application of significant judgment by our management. We base our estimates on our historical experience, industry standards, and various other assumptions that we believe are reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results could differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. An adverse effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, and results of operations could occur if circumstances change that alter the various assumptions or conditions used in such estimates or assumptions. Our critical accounting policies include those listed below.  

Revenue Recognition 

  We record revenue based on the five-step model which includes: (1) identifying the contract with the customer; (2) identifying the performance obligations in the contract; (3) determining the transaction price; (4) allocating the transaction price to the performance obligations; and (5) recognizing revenue when the performance obligations are satisfied. Substantially all of our revenue is generated by fulfilling orders for the purchase of manufactured products and product purchased for resale to retailers, wholesalers, or direct to consumers via online channels, with each order considered to be a distinct performance obligation. These orders may be formal purchase orders, verbal phone orders, e-mail orders or orders received online. Shipping and handling activities for which we are responsible under the terms and conditions of the order are not accounted for as performance obligations but as fulfillment costs. These activities are required to fulfill our promise to transfer the goods and are expensed when revenue is recognized. The impact of this policy election is insignificant as it aligns with our current practice.

14

Revenue is measured as the net amount of consideration expected to be received in exchange for fulfilling a performance obligation. We have elected to exclude sales, use and similar taxes from the measurement of the transaction price.  The impact of this policy election is insignificant, as it aligns with our current practice. The amount of consideration expected to be received and revenue recognized includes estimates of variable consideration, which includes costs for trade promotion programs, coupons, returns and early payment discounts.  Such estimates are calculated using historical averages adjusted for any expected changes due to current business conditions and experience. We review and update these estimates at the end of each reporting period and the impact of any adjustments are recognized in the period the adjustments are identified. In assessing whether collection of consideration from a customer is probable, we consider the customer's ability and intent to pay that amount of consideration when it is due. Payment of invoices is due as specified in the underlying customer agreement, typically 30 days from the invoice date, which occurs on the date of transfer of control of the products to the customer. Revenue is recognized at the point in time that control of the ordered products is transferred to the customer. Generally, this occurs when the product is delivered, or in some cases, picked up from one of our distribution centers by the customer. 

Allowance for Doubtful Accounts

We maintain an allowance for doubtful accounts to reflect our estimate of current and past due receivable balances that may not be collected. The allowance for doubtful accounts is based upon our assessment of the collectability of specific customer accounts, the aging of accounts receivable and our history of bad debts. We believe that the allowance for doubtful accounts is adequate to cover anticipated losses in the receivable balance under current conditions. However, significant deterioration in the financial condition of our customers, resulting in an impairment of their ability to make payments, could materially change these expectations and an additional allowance may be required.

Inventories

We value inventory at the lower of cost or net realizable value on an item-by-item basis and establish reserves equal to all or a portion of the related inventory to reflect situations in which the cost of the inventory is not expected to be recovered. This requires us to make estimates regarding the net realizable value of our inventory, including an assessment for excess and obsolete inventory. Once we establish an inventory reserve amount in a fiscal period, the reduced inventory value is maintained until the inventory is sold or otherwise disposed of. In evaluating whether inventory is stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value, management considers such factors as the amount of inventory on-hand, the estimated time required to sell such inventory, the foreseeable demand within a specified time horizon and current and expected market conditions. Based on this evaluation, we record adjustments to cost of goods sold to adjust inventory to its net realizable value. These adjustments are estimates, which could vary significantly, either favorably or unfavorably, from actual requirements if future economic conditions, customer demand or other factors differ from expectations.   Finished goods and goods in process include a provision for manufacturing overhead, including depreciation.  

Accounting for 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. At June 30, 2020, we carried a valuation allowance of $1.9 million against our net deferred tax assets.

15

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

We assess the impairment of long-lived assets whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. An asset or asset group is considered impaired if its carrying amount exceeds the undiscounted future net cash flows the asset or asset group is expected to generate. If an asset or asset group is considered to be impaired, the impairment to be recognized is measured by the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset exceeds its fair value. If estimated fair value is less than the book value, the asset is written down to the estimated fair value and an impairment loss is recognized.

In fiscal year 2019 and 2020, we did generate positive cash flows from operations. However, if our long-term future results do not continue to yield positive cash flows in excess of the carrying amount of our long-lived assets, we would anticipate possible future impairments of those assets.

Considerable management judgment is necessary in estimating future cash flows and other factors affecting the valuation of long-lived assets, including the operating and macroeconomic factors that may affect them. We use historical financial information, internal plans and projections and industry information in making such estimates.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Reconciliation of net income (loss) to Adjusted EBITDA for the years ended June 30, 2020 and 2019: 

As used herein, Adjusted EBITDA represents net income (loss) before interest income, interest expense and financing costs, depreciation, and stock-based compensation expense. We have excluded the non-cash expenses and stock-based compensation expense 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. 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 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 amortization and non-cash charges for stock-based compensation expense and loss on disposal of assets.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Board of Directors and Stockholders’ of Luvu Brands, Inc.

Opinion on the Financial Statements

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Luvu Brands, Inc. and Subsidiaries (the “Company”) as of June 30, 2020 and 2019, the related consolidated statements of operations, changes in stockholders’ deficit and cash flows for each of the two years in the period ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the “consolidated financial statements”).  In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of June 30, 2020 and 2019, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Explanatory Paragraph – Going Concern

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern.  As discussed in Note 2 to the financial statements, the Company has a working capital deficit and an accumulated deficit. The Company has financed its working capital requirements primarily through the issuance of debt. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern.  Management’s plans in regard to these matters are described in Note 2.  The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

Basis for Opinion

These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management.  Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s financial statements based on our audits.  We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (“PCAOB”) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.  

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB.  Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal controls over financial reporting.  Accordingly, we express no such opinion.

Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks.  Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements.  Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.  We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

For the years ended June 30, 2020 and 2019

NOTE 1. ORGANIZATION AND NATURE OF BUSINESS

 Luvu Brands, Inc. (the “Company” or Luvu) 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. In March, 2020, the Company began producing personal face masks under the Avana brand in response to the COVID-19 pandemic with shipments beginning in April. In April, 2020, the Company also began producing and selling isolation gowns.

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 typically experience higher sales in our second and third fiscal quarters.

NOTE 2. GOING CONCERN

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. The Company recorded net income of approximately $860,000 for the year ended June 30, 2020 and net loss of approximately $(157,000) for the year ended June 30, 2019. As of June 30, 2020 the Company has an accumulated deficit of approximately $8.2 million and a working capital deficit of approximately $1.4 million. This raises substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern.

In view of these matters, realization of a major portion of the assets in the accompanying consolidated 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 2018, we purchased new foam compression equipment for installation during the second quarter of fiscal 2018. These actions have yielded higher factory throughput at a lower cost of goods sold. However, these operational improvements have been more than offset by rising wages and raw material costs. 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, at a minimum, require approximately $150,000 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.

NOTE 2. GOING CONCERN (continued)

Although we have three separate brands with diverse channels of distribution, the continued COVID-19 pandemic may negatively impact our business operations and the operations of our suppliers and customers as a result of quarantines, facility closures and travel and logistics restrictions. There is substantial uncertainty regarding the duration and degree of COVID-19’s continued effects over time. The extent to which the COVID-19 pandemic impacts our business going forward will depend on numerous evolving factors we cannot reliably predict, including the duration and scope of the pandemic or recurrence thereof, timing of development and deployment of an effective vaccine, governmental, business and individuals' actions in response to the pandemic and the impact on economic activity including the possibility of recession or financial market instability.

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 financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”).

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 record revenue based on the five-step model which includes: (1) identifying the contract with the customer; (2) identifying the performance obligations in the contract; (3) determining the transaction price; (4) allocating the transaction price to the performance obligations; and (5) recognizing revenue when the performance obligations are satisfied. Substantially all of our revenue is generated by fulfilling orders for the purchase of manufactured products and product purchased for resale to retailers, wholesalers, or direct to consumers via online channels, with each order considered to be a distinct performance obligation. These orders may be formal purchase orders, verbal phone orders, e-mail orders or orders received online. Shipping and handling activities for which we are responsible under the terms and conditions of the order are not accounted for as performance obligations but as fulfillment costs. These activities are required to fulfill our promise to transfer the goods and are expensed when revenue is recognized. The impact of this policy election is insignificant as it aligns with our current practice.

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, 2020 and June 30, 2019 was $14,898 and $14,198, respectively, and was included in “Other accrued liabilities” on our consolidated balance sheets.

Cost of Goods Sold

Cost of goods sold includes raw material, labor, manufacturing overhead, and royalty expense.

Shipping and Handling Costs

We include fees earned on the shipment of our products to customers in sales and include costs incurred on the shipment of product to customers in costs of goods sold.

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 June 30, 2020 and June 30, 2019.

NOTE 3. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

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 cash balances on deposit at June 30, 2020 and 2019 that exceeded the balance insured by the FDIC by $960,030 and $134,016, respectively. Accounts receivable are typically unsecured and are derived from revenue earned from customers primarily located in North America and Europe.

During 2020, we purchased 33% of total inventory purchases from one vendor.

During 2019, we purchased 37% of total inventory purchases from one vendor.

As of June 30, 2020, three of the Company’s customers represents 38%, 16% and 16% of the total accounts receivables, respectively. As of June 30, 2019, one of the Company’s customers (Amazon) represents 38% and 50% of the total accounts receivables, respectively. Sales to (and through) Amazon accounted for 34% of our net sales during each of the years ended June 30, 2020 and June 30, 2019.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

At June 30, 2020 and 2019, our financial instruments included cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable, short-term debt, and other long-term 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:

NOTE 3. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

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 $5,000 at June 30, 2020 and $1,500 at June 30, 2019. Advertising expense for the years ended June 30, 2020 and 2019 was $390,108 and $356,154, respectively.

Research and Development

Research and development expenses for new products are expensed as they are incurred.  Expenses for new product development (included in general and administrative expense) totaled $111,148 for the year ended June 30, 2020 and $123,478 for the year ended June 30, 2019.

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 which 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.

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 $117,600 within six months of August 1, 2014. As of June 30, 2020, the Company has completed $118,135 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 years ended June 30, 2020 and 2019 was $352,479 in each year. The Company has reached a tentative agreement with its landlord to extend the lease for an additional 6 years.

NOTE 3. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

Under ASC 842, which was adopted July 1, 2019, the Company determines whether the arrangement is or contains a lease based on the unique facts and circumstances present. Most leases with a term greater than one year are recognized on the balance sheet as right-of-use assets, lease liabilities and, if applicable, long-term lease liabilities. The Company elected not to recognize leases with a term less than one year on its balance sheet. Operating lease right-of-use (ROU) assets and their corresponding lease liabilities are recorded based on the present value of lease payments over the expected remaining lease term. The interest rate implicit in lease contracts is typically not readily determinable. As a result, the Company utilizes its incremental borrowing rates, which are the rates incurred to borrow on a collateralized basis over a similar term, an amount equal to the lease payments in a similar economic environment.

In accordance with the guidance in ASU 2016-02, components of a lease should be split into three categories: lease components (e.g. land, building, etc.), non-lease components (e.g. common area maintenance, consumables, etc.), and non-components (e.g. property taxes, insurance, etc.) Then the fixed and in-substance fixed contract consideration (including any related to non-components) must be allocated based on fair values to the lease components and non-lease components. Although separation of lease and non-lease components is required, the Company elected the practical expedient to not separate lease and non-lease components. The lease component results in an operating right-of-use asset being recorded on the balance sheet and amortized on a straight-line basis as lease expense. 

Under prior guidance ASC 840, rent expense and lease incentives from operating leases were recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. The difference between rent expense recognized and rental payments was recorded as deferred rent in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.

The Company also leases certain equipment under operating leases, as more fully described in NOTE 17 - 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. Wholesale includes Liberator, Jaxx, and Avana branded products sold to distributors and retailers, purchased products sold to retailers, and private label items sold to other resellers. The Wholesale category also includes contract manufacturing services, which consists of specialty items that are manufactured in small quantities for certain customers, and which, to date, has not been a material part of our business. Other consists principally of shipping and handling fees and costs derived from our Direct business and fulfillment service fees.

The following is a summary of sales results for the Direct, Wholesale, and Other channels.

Segment Information (continued)

Recent accounting pronouncements

From time to time, new accounting pronouncements are issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) or other standard setting bodies that are adopted by the Company as of the specified effective date.

Recently adopted

In February 2016, FASB issued ASU No. 2016-12, Leases, which requires entities to recognize right-of-use assets and lease liabilities on the balance sheet for the rights and obligations created by all leases, including operating leases, with terms of more than 12 months. The new guidance also requires additional disclosures on the amount, timing, and uncertainty of cash flows arising from leases. These disclosures include qualitative and quantitative information. This amendment is effective for the Company’s fiscal year ending June 2020 with early adoption permitted. The Company adopted the guidance on July 1, 2019 and recorded an operating lease asset and a corresponding operating lease liability for the same amount. The adoption was done on a modified retrospective basis with no adjustments made to periods prior to July 1, 2019 (see Note 17.)

Not yet adopted

In June 2016, the FASB issued updated guidance (ASU 2016-13) and also issued subsequent amendments to the initial guidance under ASU 2018-19, ASU 2019-04 and ASU 2019-05 (collectively Topic 326). Topic 326 requires the measurement and recognition of expected credit losses for financial assets held at amortized cost. This replaces the existing incurred loss model with an expected loss model and requires the use of forward-looking information to calculate credit loss estimates. The amendments in this guidance are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019 (the Company’s fiscal 2021), with early adoption permitted for certain amendments. Topic 326 must be adopted by applying a cumulative effect adjustment to retained earnings. The Company does not expect adoption of the new guidance to have a significant impact on its financial statements.

In August 2018, the FASB issued updated guidance (ASU 2018-13) as part of the disclosure framework project, which focuses on improving the effectiveness of disclosures in the notes to the financial statements. The amendments in this update modify the disclosure requirements on fair value measurements in Topic 820, Fair Value Measurement. The amendments in this guidance are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2019 (the Company’s fiscal 2021), with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the potential impact of this guidance on the Company’s disclosures.

In December 2019, the FASB issued guidance (ASU 2019-12) intended to simplify the accounting for income taxes. The amendments in this guidance are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2020 (the Company’s fiscal 2022), with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the potential impact of this guidance on the Company’s disclosures.

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

NOTE 3. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

Net Income (Loss) Per Share

In accordance with FASB Accounting Standards Codification No. 260, “Earnings Per Share”, basic net income (loss) per share is computed by dividing the net income (loss) available to common stockholders for the period by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted net income (loss) per share is computed by dividing net income (loss) available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common and common equivalent shares outstanding during the period. Common equivalent shares outstanding as of June 30, 2019, which consists of options and convertible preferred stock, have been excluded from the diluted net loss per common share calculation for the year ended June 30, 2019 because they are anti-dilutive.

The total potential dilutive securities as of June 30, 2020 and 2019 are as follows:

 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. At June 30, 2020, we carried a valuation allowance of $1.9 million against our net deferred tax 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 June 30, 2020 or 2019.

NOTE 5. INVENTORIES

All inventories are stated at the lower of cost (which approximates first-in, first-out) or net realizable value. The Company’s inventories consist of the following components at June 30, 2020 and 2019:  

NOTE 6. EQUIPMENT, PROPERTY AND LEASEHOLD IMPROVEMENTS, NET

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.

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.

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 18). On June 30, 2020, the balance owed under this line of credit was $1,005,217. As of June 30, 2020, 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.

A 1% loan origination fee was deducted, and the Company received net proceeds of $198,000. On June 30, 2020, the balance owed under this note payable was $46,299. This loan is guaranteed by the Company and is personally guaranteed by the Company’s CEO and controlling shareholder (see Note 18).

NOTE 16. PPP LOAN

On April 26, 2020, the Company entered into a promissory note (the “PPP Note”) evidencing an unsecured loan in the amount of $1,096,200 made to the Company under the Payroll Protection Plan ("PPP"). The PPP is a liquidity facility program established by the U.S. government as part of the CARES Act in response to the negative economic impact of the COVID-19 outbreak. The PPP Loan to the Company is being administered by Ameris Bank. The PPP Loan has a two-year term and bears interest at a rate of 1.0% per annum. Monthly principal and interest payments are deferred for six months. Beginning November 26, 2020, seven months from the date of the PPP Note, the Company is required to make monthly payments of principal and interest in the amount of $61,691.

The PPP Loan is a forgivable loan to the extent proceeds are used to cover qualified documented payroll, mortgage interest, rent, and utility costs over a 24-week measurement period (as amended) following loan funding. For the loan to be forgiven, the Company is required to formally apply for forgiveness, and potentially, required to pass an audit that it met the eligibility qualifications of the loan. Within 150 days from the application, the Company will be notified whether or not the loan is forgiven.

In accounting for the terms of the PPP Loan, the Company is guided by ASC 470 Debt, and ASC 450-30 Gain contingency. Accordingly, it recorded the proceeds of the PPP Loan of $1,096,200 as debt and it will derecognize the liability when the loan is paid off or it believes forgiveness is reasonably certain. The Company believes that the possibility of loan forgiveness is to be regarded as a contingent gain and therefore will not recognize the gain (and derecognize the loan) until all uncertainty is removed (i.e. all conditions for forgiveness are met). 

Future minimum payments required at maturity under the Company’s outstanding short term notes, secured line of credit, unsecured line of credit, credit cards loans, short term related party notes and PPP loan at June 30, 2020 are as follows:

NOTE 19. STOCKHOLDERS’ EQUITY

Options  

 At June 30, 2020, the Company had the 2015 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2015 Plan”), which is shareholder-approved and under which 5,000,000 shares are reserved for issuance under the 2015 Plan until that Plan terminates on August 31, 2025.

Under the 2015 Plan, eligible employees and certain independent consultants may be granted options to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock. The shares issuable under the 2015 Plan will either be shares of the Company’s authorized but previously unissued common stock or shares reacquired by the Company, including shares purchased on the open market. As of June 30, 2020, the number of shares available for issuance under the 2015 Plan was 750,000.

 A summary of option activity under the Company’s stock plan for the years ended June 30, 2020 and 2019 is presented below:  

The aggregate intrinsic value in the table above is before applicable income taxes and represents the excess amount over the exercise price optionees would have received if all options had been exercised on the last business day of the period indicated, based on the Company’s closing stock price of $.17, $.02, and $.05 at June 30, 2020, 2019 and 2018, respectively.

There were 550,000 stock options granted during the year ended June 30, 2020 and 400,000 stock options granted during the year ended June 30, 2019. 

The range of fair value assumptions related to options granted during the years ended June 30, 2020 and 2019 were as follows:

NOTE 19. STOCKHOLDERS’ EQUITY (continued)

The following table summarizes the weighted average characteristics of outstanding stock options as of June 30, 2020:

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.

All stock option grants made under the Plan were at exercise prices no less than the Company’s closing stock price on the date of grant.  Options under the Plan were determined by the board of directors in accordance with the provisions of the plan.  The terms of each option grant include vesting, exercise, and other conditions are set forth in a Stock Option Agreement evidencing each grant.  No option can have a life in excess of ten (10) years.  The Company records compensation expense for employee stock options based on the estimated fair value of the options on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model.  The model requires various assumptions, including a risk-free interest rate, the expected term of the options, the expected stock price volatility over the expected term of the options, and the expected dividend yield.  Compensation expense for employee stock options is recognized ratably over the vesting term.  The Company has no awards with market or performance conditions.

Stock-based compensation expense recognized in the consolidated statements of operations for each of the fiscal years ended June 30, 2020 and 2019 is based on awards ultimately expected to vest.

 As of June 30, 2020, total unrecognized stock-based compensation expense related to all unvested stock options was $33,811 which is expected to be expensed over a weighted average period of 1.7 years.

In determining the grant date fair value of option awards under the equity incentive plans, the Company applied the Black-Scholes option pricing model. Based upon limited option exercise history, the Company has generally used the “simplified” method outlined in SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 110 to estimate the expected life of stock option grants. Management believes that the historical volatility of the Company’s stock price on OTCQB best represents the expected volatility over the estimated life of the option. The risk-free interest rate is based upon published U.S. Treasury yield curve rates at the date of grant corresponding to the expected life of the stock option. An assumed dividend yield of zero reflects the fact that the Company has never paid cash dividends and has no intentions to pay dividends in the foreseeable future.

The following table summarizes stock-based compensation expense by line item in the consolidated statements of operations, all relating to employee stock plans:

Share Purchase Warrants

As of June 30, 2020 and 2019, there were no share purchase warrants outstanding.

Common Stock

The Company’s authorized common stock was 175,000,000 shares at June 30, 2020 and 2019. Common shareholders are entitled to dividends if and when declared by the Company’s Board of Directors, subject to preferred stockholder dividend rights. At June 30, 2020, the Company had reserved the following shares of common stock for issuance:

Preferred Stock

On February 18, 2011, the Company filed an amendment to its Articles of Incorporation, effective February 9, 2011, authorizing the issuance of preferred stock and the Company now has 10,000,000 authorized shares of preferred stock, par value $.0001 per share, of which 4,300,000 shares have been designated and issued as Series A Convertible Preferred Stock. Each share of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock is convertible into one share of common stock and has a liquidation preference of $.2325 ($1,000,000 in the aggregate). Liquidation payments to the preferred holders have priority and are made in preference to any payments to the holders of common stock. In addition, each share of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock is entitled to the number of votes equal to the result of: (i) the number of shares of common stock of the Company issued and outstanding at the time of such vote multiplied by 1.01; divided by (ii) the total number of Series A Convertible Preferred Shares issued and outstanding at the time of such vote. At each meeting of shareholders of the Company with respect to any and all matters presented to the shareholders of the Company for their action or consideration, including the election of directors, holders of Series A Convertible Preferred Shares shall vote together with the holders of common shares as a single class.

NOTE 20. INCOME TAXES

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are computed by applying the effective U.S. federal income tax rate to the gross amounts of temporary differences and other tax attributes. Deferred tax assets and liabilities relating to state income taxes are not material. In assessing the realizability of deferred tax assets, management considers whether it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income during the periods in which those temporary differences become deductible. Management considers the scheduled reversal of deferred tax liabilities, projected future taxable income, and tax planning strategies in making this assessment. As of June 30, 2020 and 2019, the Company believed it was more likely than not that future tax benefits from net operating loss carryforwards and other deferred tax assets would not be realizable through generation of future taxable income; therefore, they were fully reserved.

NOTE 20. INCOME TAXES (continued)

The components of deferred tax assets and liabilities at June 30, 2020 and 2019 are approximately as follows:

The income tax provision differs from the amount of income tax determined by applying the U.S. federal and state income tax rates of 25% to pretax (income) loss from operations for the years ended June 30, 2020 and 2019 due to the following:

At June 30, 2019, the Company had net operating loss (NOL) carryforwards of approximately $6.9 million that may be offset against future taxable income. During 2020 and 2019, the total change in the valuation allowance was approximately $1,089,000 and $59,000, respectively. The Company’s ability to use its NOL carryforwards may be substantially limited due to ownership change limitations that may have occurred or that could occur in the future, as required by Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the Code), as well as similar state provisions. These ownership changes may limit the amount of NOL that can be utilized annually to offset future taxable income and tax, respectively. In general, an “ownership change” as defined by Section 382 of the Code results from a transaction or series of transactions over a three-year period resulting in an ownership change of more than 50.0% of the outstanding stock of a company by certain stockholders or public groups.

The Company has not completed a study to assess whether an ownership change has occurred or whether there have been multiple ownership changes since the Company became a “loss corporation” under the definition of Section 382. If the Company has experienced an ownership change, utilization of the NOL carryforwards would be subject to an annual limitation under Section 382 of the Code, which is determined by first multiplying the value of the Company’s stock at the time of the ownership change by the applicable long-term, tax-exempt rate, and then could be subject to additional adjustments, as required. Any limitation may result in expiration of a portion of the NOL carryforwards before utilization. Further, until a study is completed and any limitation known, no positions related to limitations are being considered as an uncertain tax position or disclosed as an unrecognized tax benefit. Any carryforwards that expire prior to utilization as a result of such limitations will be removed from deferred tax assets with a corresponding reduction of the valuation allowance. Due to the existence of the valuation allowance, it is not expected that any possible limitation will have an impact on the results of operations or financial position of the Company. The NOL carryforwards of approximately $6.9 million expire through 2027.

The tax years that remain subject to examination by major taxing jurisdictions are those for the years ended June 30, 2012 through 2020. The Company has not filed its Federal or State tax returns for 2017 through 2019 but expects to file these returns before the end of calendar year 2020.

ITEM 9A.  Controls and Procedures.

(a) Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

We maintain certain disclosure controls and procedures as defined under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. They are designed to help ensure that material information is: (1) gathered and communicated to our management, including our principal executive and financial officers, in a manner that allows for timely decisions regarding required disclosures; and (2) recorded, processed, summarized, reported and filed with the SEC as required under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and within the time periods specified by the SEC.

Our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of June 30, 2020. Based on such evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of June 30, 2020.

(b) Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

Management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting for the Company, and for performing an assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting as of June 30, 2020. For this purpose, internal control over financial reporting refers to a process designed by, or under the supervision of, the Company’s principal executive and financial officers and effected by the Company’s board of directors, management and other personnel, to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with GAAP. Internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the Company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with GAAP, and that receipts and expenditures of the Company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the Company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of the Company’s assets that could have a material adverse effect on the financial statements.

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

Management performed an assessment of the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of June 30, 2020 based upon criteria in an Internal Control – Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO). Based on this assessment, management believes the Company’s internal control over financial reporting was effective as of June 30, 2020 based on the criteria issued by COSO.

(c) Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

There were no changes to our internal control over financial reporting during the fourth quarter ended June 30, 2020 that have materially affected, or that are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
