CAUTIONARY STATEMENT REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
This report contains forward-looking statements that are based on our management’s beliefs and assumptions and on information currently available to us. All statements other than statements of historical facts are forward-looking statements. These statements relate to future events or to our future financial performance and involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that may cause our actual results, levels of activity, performance or achievements to be materially different from any future results, levels of activity, performance or achievements expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, statements about:
● | the synergies that we expect to experience resulting from the Appliances Connection Acquisition (as defined below); |
● | our ability to successfully integrate Appliances Connection’s business with our existing business; |
● | our ability to acquire new customers and sustain and/or manage our growth; |
● | the impact of the novel coronavirus (“COVID-19”) pandemic on our operations and financial condition; |
● | the effect of supply chain delays and disruptions on our operations and financial condition; |
● | our goals and strategies; |
● | the identification of material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting and disclosure controls and procedures that, if not corrected, could affect the reliability of our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and have other adverse consequences such as a failure to meet reporting obligations; |
● | our future business development, financial condition and results of operations; |
● | expected changes in our revenue, costs or expenditures; |
● | growth of and competition trends in our industry; |
● | our expectations regarding demand for, and market acceptance of, our products; |
● | our expectations regarding our relationships with investors, institutional funding partners and other parties we collaborate with; |
● | fluctuations in general economic and business conditions in the markets in which we operate; and |
● | relevant government policies and regulations relating to our industry. |
In some cases, you can identify forward-looking statements by terms such as “may,” “could,” “will,” “should,” “would,” “expect,” “plan,” “intend,” “anticipate,” “believe,” “estimate,” “predict,” “potential,” “project” or “continue” or the negative of these terms or other comparable terminology. These statements are only predictions. You should not place undue reliance on forward-looking statements because they involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors, which are, in some cases, beyond our control and which could materially affect results. Factors that may cause actual results to differ materially from current expectations include, among other things, those listed under Item 1A “Risk Factors” in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021 and elsewhere in this report. If one or more of these risks or uncertainties occur, or if our underlying assumptions prove to be incorrect, actual events or results may vary significantly from those implied or projected by the forward-looking statements. No forward-looking statement is a guarantee of future performance.
The forward-looking statements made in this report relate only to events or information as of the date on which the statements are made in this report. Except as expressly required by the federal securities laws, there is no undertaking to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events, changed circumstances or any other reason.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
MARCH 31, 2022 AND 2021
(UNAUDITED)
NOTE 1—BASIS OF PRESENTATION
In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of 1847 Goedeker Inc. (the “Company,” “1847 Goedeker,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) and applicable rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) regarding interim financial reporting and reflect all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, necessary to present fairly the results of the interim periods presented. Certain information and note disclosures normally included in the audited financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. The information included in the Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021. Furthermore, interim results for the three months ended March 31, 2022 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the full year ending December 31, 2022 or future periods.
Certain reclassifications within property and equipment have been made to the prior period’s financial statements to conform to the current period financial statement presentation (see Note 6). There is no impact in total net property and equipment, results of operations, and cash flows in all periods presented.
NOTE 2—RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13 Financial Instruments-Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments which requires the measurement and recognition of expected credit losses for financial assets held at amortized cost. ASU 2016-13 replaces the existing incurred loss impairment model with an expected loss methodology, which will result in more timely recognition of credit losses. ASU 2016-13 is effective for annual reporting periods, and interim periods within those years beginning after December 15, 2019. This pronouncement was amended under ASU 2019-10 to allow an extension on the adoption date for entities that qualify as a small reporting company. The Company has elected this extension and the effective date for the Company to adopt this standard will be for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022. The Company has not completed its assessment of the standard but does not expect the adoption to have a material impact on our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.
In October 2021, the FASB issued ASU 2021-08, Business Combinations (Topic 805): Accounting for Contract Assets and Contract Liabilities from Contracts with Customers. This ASU amends ASC 805 to require acquiring entities to apply ASC 606 to recognize and measure contract assets and contract liabilities in business combinations. The ASU is effective for public entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company has not completed its assessment of the standard but does not expect the adoption to have a material impact on our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.
The Company has evaluated all other recent accounting pronouncements and determined that the adoption of pronouncements applicable to the Company has not had or is not expected to have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
NOTE 3—LIQUIDITY AND GOING CONCERN ASSESSMENT
Management assesses liquidity and going concern uncertainty in the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements to determine whether there is sufficient cash on hand and working capital, including available borrowings on loans, to operate for a period of at least one year from the date the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements are issued or available to be issued, which is referred to as the “look-forward period”, as defined in GAAP. As part of this assessment, based on conditions that are known and reasonably knowable to management, management will consider various scenarios, forecasts, projections, estimates and will make certain key assumptions, including the timing and nature of projected cash expenditures or programs, its ability to delay or curtail expenditures or programs and its ability to raise additional capital, if necessary, among other factors. Based on this assessment, as necessary or applicable, management makes certain assumptions around implementing curtailments or delays in the nature and timing of programs and expenditures to the extent it deems probable those implementations can be achieved and management has the proper authority to execute them within the look-forward period. As of March 31, 2022, we had cash and cash equivalents of $25.8 million and restricted cash of $2.6 million. For the three months ended March 31, 2022, the Company incurred operating income of approximately $10.1 million, cash flows used in operations of $3.7 million, and working capital of $24.9 million.

GOEDEKER INC.
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
MARCH 31, 2022 AND 2021
(UNAUDITED)
Management has prepared estimates of operations for fiscal years 2022 and 2023 and believes that sufficient funds will be generated from operations to fund its operations, and to service its debt obligations for one year from the date of the filing of these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements. The impact of COVID-19 on the Company’s business has been considered in these assumptions; however, with new COVID variants still in place it might be too early to know the full impact of COVID-19 or its timing on a return to more normal operations.
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis under which the Company is expected to be able to realize its assets and satisfy its liabilities in the normal course of business. Management believes that based on relevant conditions and events that are known and reasonably knowable that its forecasts, for one year from the date of the filing of these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements, indicate improved operations and the Company’s ability to continue operations as a going concern.
NOTE 4—REVENUES
The Company sells a vast assortment of household appliances, including refrigerators, ranges, ovens, dishwashers, microwaves, freezers, washers and dryers. In addition to appliances, we also offer a broad assortment of products in the furniture, décor, bed & bath, lighting, outdoor living, electronics categories, fitness equipment, plumbing fixtures, air conditioners, fireplaces, fans, dehumidifiers, humidifiers, air purifiers and televisions.
Revenue is recognized to depict the transfer of goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. Each customer order generally contains only one performance obligation based on the merchandise sale to be delivered, at which time revenue is recognized.
The Company disaggregates revenue from contracts with customers by product type, as it believes it best depicts how the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows are affected by economic factors.
The Company’s disaggregated revenue by product type is as follows (in thousands):

Each of the M&T Loans matures on June 2, 2026. The M&T Loans will bear interest on the unpaid principal amount thereof as follows: (i) if it is a M&T Loan bearing interest at a rate determined by the Base Rate (as defined in the M&T Credit Agreement), then at the Base Rate plus the Applicable Margin (as defined in the M&T Credit Agreement) for such M&T Loan; (ii) if it is a M&T Loan bearing interest at a rate determined by the LIBOR Rate (as defined in the M&T Credit Agreement), then at the LIBOR Rate plus the Applicable Margin for such M&T Loan; and (iii) if it is a M&T Swing Line Loan, then at the rate applicable to M&T Loans bearing interest at a rate determined by the Base Rate. The M&T Term Loan initially bears interest at the LIBOR Rate plus Applicable Margin (3.9%), with an initial interest period of six months. The Company may elect to continue or convert the existing interest rate benchmark for the M&T Term Loan from LIBOR Rate to Base Rate, and may elect the interest rate benchmark for future M&T Revolving Loans as either LIBOR Rate or Base Rate (and, with respect to any M&T Loan made at the LIBOR Rate, may also select the interest period applicable to any such M&T Loan), by notifying M&T and M&T Lenders from time to time in accordance with the provisions of the M&T Credit Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, following an event of default, the M&T Loans will bear interest at a rate that is 2% per annum higher than the interest rate then in effect for the applicable M&T Loan.
The Company must repay the principal amount of the M&T Term Loan in quarterly installments of $1.5 million each, payable on the last business day of each March, June, September and December, commencing on September 30, 2021. The remaining unpaid principal amount of the M&T Term Loan must be repaid on the maturity date, unless payment is sooner required by the M&T Credit Agreement. Mandatory repayments of amounts borrowed under the M&T Revolving Loan facility are required only if the amount borrowed at any time exceeds the commitment amount. Amounts borrowed under M&T Revolving Loans may be repaid and reborrowed at any time until the maturity date.
The Company may voluntarily prepay the M&T Loans from time to time in accordance with the provisions of the M&T Credit Agreement, and will be required to prepay the M&T Loans under certain limited circumstances as set forth in the M&T Credit Agreement, including upon receipt of cash proceeds in connection with certain specified asset sales, receipt of insurance or condemnation proceeds or other cash proceeds received other than in the ordinary course of business or upon receipt of cash proceeds from the incurrence of indebtedness that is not permitted under the M&T Credit Agreement, all as more specifically set forth in the M&T Credit Agreement.
Under the M&T Credit Agreement, the Company is required to pay certain fees to M&T, including a commitment fee of up to 0.5% per annum with respect to the unused portion of the M&T Lenders’ revolving loan commitments, determined as set forth in the M&T Credit Agreement, and certain fees in connection with the issuance of any letters of credit under the M&T Credit Agreement.
The M&T Credit Agreement contains customary representations, warranties, affirmative and negative financial and other covenants, including leverage ratio and fixed charge coverage ratios, and events of default for loans of this type. The M&T Loans are guaranteed by the Guarantors (as defined in the M&T Credit Agreement) and are secured by a first priority security interest in substantially all of the assets of the Company, ACI and the guarantors.

NOTE 12—COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
Legal Proceedings
At the Company’s annual meeting on December 21, 2021, the stockholders were asked to approve an amendment to the Company’s Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, dated July 30, 2020 (the “Certificate of Incorporation”), increasing the number of authorized shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (“Common Stock” and such proposal, the “Share Increase Proposal”) by 50,000,000 shares of Common Stock. As reported in a Form 8-K filing on December 28, 2021, the Share Increase Proposal was adopted and a Certificate of Amendment to the Certificate of Incorporation setting forth the amendment adopted pursuant to the Share Increase Proposal (the “Certificate of Amendment”) was filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware (the “Delaware Secretary of State”). To date, none of these newly authorized shares has actually been issued.
Three purported beneficial owners of Common Stock subsequently expressed concerns about a statement in the Company’s proxy statement related to the Share Increase Proposal, specifically questioning, in light of the proxy statement, the ability of brokerage firms and other custodians to vote shares of Common Stock held by them for the benefit of their customers in the absence of instructions from the beneficial owners. Based on an examination of the situation performed following receipt of these demands, the Company believes that the vote at the annual meeting was properly tabulated and that the proposed amendment was properly adopted in accordance with Delaware law. In light of the demands, however, and to ensure against any future question as to the validity of these newly authorized shares, the Company elected to seek validation of its Certificate of Amendment through a Petition to the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware (the “Court of Chancery”) pursuant to Section 205 of the Delaware General Corporation Law (the “205 Petition”). The action, styled In re 1847 Goedeker Inc., C.A. 2022-0219-SG, seeks entry by the Court of Chancery of an order validating and declaring effective the Certificate of Amendment, and validating the additional shares of Common Stock authorized under the Share Increase Proposal.

Shortly before the 205 Petition was filed, one of the purported stockholders who had submitted a demand related to adoption of the Share Increase Proposal also has filed a Class Action Complaint in the Court of Chancery against the Company and its Board of Directors. That lawsuit, captioned Scot T. Boden v. 1847 Goedeker Inc., et al., C.A. No. 2022-0196-SG (the “Boden Action”), asserts two claims for relief. The first is against the Company for alleged violation of the Delaware General Corporation Law Section 225(b) for improper tabulation of the stockholder vote on the Share Increase Proposal. The second asserts that the Company’s directors breached their fiduciary duties by incorrectly tabulating the stockholder vote, and by causing a purportedly invalid amendment to our Certificate of Incorporation to be filed with the Delaware Secretary of State. The Boden Action has been consolidated with the 205 Petition; and for reasons set out in the 205 Petition, the Company and its directors believe the Boden Action to be without merit and intend to defend the claims. Mr. Boden and a second purported stockholder, Robert Corwin, have both filed briefs opposing the 205 Petition. Under a scheduling order issued by the Court of Chancery on May 6, 2022, the Company intends to file a reply brief in further support of the 205 Petition by May 20, 2022. The Court of Chancery has scheduled a hearing on the matter for May 27, 2022. The Company cannot predict the outcome of these proceedings, or the timing of any decision from the Court.
NOTE 13—SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
On May 9, 2022, the Company and ACI (together, the “Borrowers”) and certain subsidiaries of the Borrowers, as guarantors, entered into a Credit Agreement (the “New Credit Agreement”) by and among the Borrowers, the guarantors, each of the lenders identified therein (the “Lenders”) and Bank of America, N.A., as administrative agent, swingline lender and letter of credit issuer (the “Agent”), pursuant to which the Lenders have agreed to make available to the Borrowers senior secured credit facilities in the aggregate initial amount of $140,000,000, including (i) a $100,000,000 term loan (the “New Term Loan”) and (ii) a $40,000,000 revolving credit facility (the “New Revolving Loan”), which revolving credit facility includes a $2,000,000 swingline subfacility (the “New Swing Line Loan” and together with the New Term Loan and the New Revolving Loan, the “New Loans”) and a $2,000,000 letter of credit subfacility, in each case, on the terms and conditions contained in the New Credit Agreement. The New Loans may from time to time be further evidenced by separate promissory notes issued by the Borrowers. On May 9, 2022, the Company borrowed the entire amount of the New Term Loan, but no New Revolving Loans have been made as of May 16, 2022.
The proceeds of the New Term Loan were applied, among other uses, to prepay the obligations in full under the Borrowers’ existing M&T Credit Agreement. On May 9, 2022, in connection with prepayment of the obligations under the M&T Credit Agreement, the M&T Credit Agreement was terminated.
NOTE 14—SUPPLIER CONCENTRATION
Significant customers and suppliers are those that account for greater than ten percent of the Company’s revenues and purchases.
For the three months ended March 31, 2022, the Company purchased 77% of finished goods from DMI.
The Company believes there are numerous other suppliers that could be substituted should the supplier become unavailable or non-competitive.

On December 17, 2021, we approved a new share repurchase program under which we may repurchase up to $25.0 million of our outstanding shares of common stock in the open market, in accordance with all applicable securities laws and regulations, including Rule 10b-18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). Our decision to repurchase shares, as well as the timing of such repurchases, will depend on a variety of factors that include ongoing assessments of our capital needs, obtaining requisite senior lender consent, market conditions and the price of our common stock, and other corporate considerations, as determined by our management. The repurchase program may be suspended or discontinued at any time. As of March 31, 2022, no shares have been repurchased.

Ongoing Impact of Coronavirus Pandemic
We are continuing to closely monitor the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on our business, results of operations and financial results. The situation surrounding the COVID-19 pandemic remains fluid and the full extent of the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on our business will depend on certain developments including the duration and severity of the pandemic, the emergence of new variants that may continue to prolong the pandemic, the amount of time it will take for normal economic activity to resume, future government actions that may be taken, the impact on consumer activity and behaviors and the effect on our customers, employees, suppliers, partners and stockholders, all of which are uncertain and cannot be predicted. Our focus remains on promoting the health, safety and financial security of our employees and serving our customers. We are dependent upon suppliers to provide us with all of the products that we sell. While the home industry has fared much better during the COVID-19 pandemic than other sectors of the economy, the pandemic has negatively impacted and may continue to negatively impact suppliers, manufacturers and the overall supply chain of our products. As a result, we have faced and may continue to face delays or difficulty sourcing certain products, which could negatively affect our business and financial results. Even if we are able to find alternate sources for such products, they may cost more, which could adversely impact our profitability and financial condition.
The global deterioration in economic conditions, which may have an adverse impact on discretionary consumer spending, could also impact our business. For instance, consumer spending may be negatively impacted by general macroeconomic conditions, including a rise in unemployment, increased inflation, and decreased consumer confidence resulting from the pandemic and other economic conditions. Changing consumer behaviors as a result of the pandemic may also have a material impact on our revenue.
As the COVID-19 pandemic remains dynamic and subject to rapid and possibly material change, we will continue to actively monitor the COVID-19 situation and may take further actions that alter our business operations as may be required by federal, state, local or foreign authorities, or that we determine are in the best interests of our customers, employees, suppliers, partners, stockholders and communities. We cannot predict with any certainty whether and to what degree the disruption caused by the COVID-19 pandemic and reactions thereto will continue, and we expect to face difficulty in accurately forecasting our financial condition and operational results. See also Item 1A “Risk Factors” in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021 for more information.
Trends and Principal Factors Affecting Our Financial Performance
Our operating results are primarily affected by the following factors:
● | our ability to acquire new customers or retain existing customers, including those shopping online as a result of COVID-19; |
● | our ability to offer competitive product pricing; |
● | our ability to broaden product offerings; |
● | industry demand and competition; |
● | market conditions and our market position; and |
● | our ability to successfully integrate the operations of Appliances Connection with our business. |
Notably, due to the COVID-19 pandemic and associated supply chain crisis, our freight costs have increased materially as a proportion of sales, putting downward pressure on our gross margins. While our historical freight costs as a percentage of sales decreased from 13.7% for the three months ended March 31, 2021 to 9.6% for the three months ended March 31, 2022 as we brought efficiencies to our pre-Appliances Connection Acquisition fulfillment operations, on a consolidated proforma basis, our freight costs as a percentage of sales increased 220 basis points from the first quarter of 2021. Recent increases in the fuel costs are putting additional downward pressure on our gross margins. Management believes that these trends are temporary in nature, and our margins will continue improving as supply chain stabilizes and fuel costs return back to normal.
Supply chain constraints also impacted our order fulfillment timing, further amplifying order cancellations and refunds caused by the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Factors Affecting Comparability of Our Future Results of Operations to Our Historical Results of Operations
The comparability of our results of operations between the periods discussed below is affected by the acquisitions we have completed during such periods. We may also evaluate and pursue acquisitions in the future, and such acquisitions, if completed, will continue to impact the comparability of our financial results. Our acquisitions may have materially different characteristics than our historical results, and such differences in economics may impact the comparability of our future results of operations to our historical results.
● | On June 2, 2021, we completed the Appliances Connection Acquisition. |
● | On July 29, 2021, we completed the AC Gallery Acquisition. |
The Company accounted for the above acquisitions using the acquisition method of accounting in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 805 “Business Combinations.” In accordance with ASC 805, the Company used its best estimates and assumptions to assign fair value to the tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed at the acquisition date.

Product sales, net. We generate revenue from the retail sale of appliances, furniture, home goods and related products. Our product sales were $152.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022, as compared to $13.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021, an increase of $139.1 million, or 1,015.2%. Such increases were primarily due to the impact of the Appliances Connection Acquisition.

The percentage of furniture and other sales declined in the first quarter 2022 period as compared to the first quarter 2021 period as furniture and other sales comprised a lower percentage of Appliances Connection sales.
Cost of goods sold. Our costs of goods sold are comprised of product costs and freight costs. Product costs represent the amount we pay the manufacturer for their product. We negotiate special terms and pricing with the manufacturer, which are generally based on the number of products we purchase. Periodically, manufacturers offer special pricing for purchasing a certain volume of products at one time. Funding might also be offered to support our marketing and advertising efforts. Freight is the cost of delivering products to customers. Our cost of goods sold was $116.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022, as compared to $11.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021, an increase of $105.8 million, or 956.0%, with the increase driven by the impact of the Appliances Connection Acquisition.

Gross profit and gross margin. As a result of the foregoing, our gross profit was $35.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022, as compared to $2.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021, an increase of $33.2 million, or 1,264.6%. Our gross margin (gross profit as a percentage of net sales) was 23.5% for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 19.2% for the three months ended March 31, 2021. Such increases were primarily due to the impact of the Appliances Connection Acquisition.
Personnel expenses. Personnel expenses include employee salaries and bonuses plus related payroll taxes. It also includes health insurance premiums, 401(k) contributions, training costs and stock compensation expense. Our personnel expenses were $7.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022, as compared to $1.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021, an increase of $5.1 million, or 264.9%. As a percentage of net sales, personnel expenses were 4.6% and 14.1% for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively. Such changes were primarily due to the impact of the Appliances Connection Acquisition.
Advertising expenses. Advertising expenses include the cost of marketing our products and primarily include online search engine expenses. Our advertising expenses were $4.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022, as compared to $1.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021, an increase of $3.2 million, or 295.9%. As a percentage of net sales, advertising expenses were 2.8% and 7.9% for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively. Such changes were primarily due to the impact of the Appliances Connection Acquisition.
Bank and credit card fees. Bank and credit card fees are primarily the fees we pay credit card processors for processing credit card payments made by customers and to third party sellers on whose websites we sell parts and other small items. Our bank and credit card fees were $6.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022, as compared to $0.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021, an increase of $5.6 million, or 1,057.0%. As a percentage of net sales, bank and credit card fees were 4.0% and 3.9% for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively. Bank and credit card fees are based on customer orders that are paid with a credit card (substantially all orders), so the increase was largely due to the increase in customer orders associated with the Appliances Connection Acquisition.
Depreciation and amortization. Depreciation and amortization was $2.7 million, or 1.8% of net sales, for the three months ended March 31, 2022, as compared to $0.1 million, or 0.9% of net sales, for the three months ended March 31, 2021. The increase is the result of amortizing intangible assets acquired in the Appliances Connection Acquisition.
General and administrative expenses. Our general and administrative expenses consist primarily of professional advisor fees, rent expense, insurance, unremitted sales tax, and other expenses incurred in connection with general operations. Our general and administrative expenses were $5.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022, as compared to $2.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021, an increase of $3.3 million, or 148.5%. As a percentage of net sales, general and administrative expenses were 3.6% and 16.4% for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively. Such changes were primarily due to the impact of the Appliances Connection Acquisition.
21
Total other income (expense). We had $0.8 million in total other expense, net, for the three months ended March 31, 2022, as compared to total other expense, net, of $0.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021. Total other expense, net, for the three months ended March 31, 2022 consisted primarily of interest expense of $0.7 million and financing costs of $0.2 million. Total other expense, net, for the three months ended March 31, 2021 consisted primarily of interest expense of $0.2 million.
Income tax benefit (expense). We had an income tax net expense of $3.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022, as compared to an income tax expense of $nil for the three months ended March 31, 2021. Such change was due to the Company’s profitability, primarily driven by the Appliances Connection Acquisition.
Net income (loss). As a result of the cumulative effect of the factors described above, we had net income of $5.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022, as compared to a net loss of $3.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021, an increase of $9.4 million, or 270.0%.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
As of March 31, 2022, we had cash and cash equivalents of $25.8 million and restricted cash of $2.6 million. For the three months ended March 31, 2022, we had operating income of approximately $10.1 million, cash flows used in operations of $3.7 million and working capital of $24.9 million. As of December 31, 2021, we had cash and cash equivalents of $25.7 million and restricted cash of $8.1 million and working capital of $16.0 million.
On May 9, 2022, we entered into the New Credit Agreement, borrowed the full amount of the $100 million New Term Loan and used $55.9 million of the proceeds to pay off the M&T Credit Agreement in full. As of May 16, 2022, we have not borrowed any additional funds under $40 million New Revolving Loan available under the New Credit Agreement.
We have previously generated significant losses since our acquisition of Goedeker Television and have relied on cash on hand, external bank lines of credit, proceeds from public offerings, issuance of third-party and related-party debt and the issuance of a note to support cashflow from operations. Notably, we reported positive cash flow from operations in 2020 as money was collected from the customers at the time orders were placed, instead of the time orders were shipped, leading to accumulation of customer deposits. On June 2, 2021, we acquired Appliances Connection, which historically has been a profitable company with strong operating cash flow; however due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic and resulting supply chain constraints, we refunded to customers $34.0 million in customer deposits throughout 2021, $27.4 million of which was due to order cancellations, leading to a negative operating cash flow in 2021. At this point we have been able to clear the majority of the historical customer deposit balances, and based on current facts and circumstances, we believe that we will have adequate cash flow from operations, external bank lines of credit, and proceeds from any future issuances of debt or equity to fund operations and service debt obligations for at least the next twelve months.
We may, however, in the future require additional cash resources due to changing business conditions, implementation of our strategy to expand our business, or other investments or acquisitions we may decide to pursue. If our own financial resources are insufficient to satisfy our capital requirements, we may seek to sell additional equity or debt securities or obtain additional credit facilities. The sale of additional equity securities could result in dilution to our stockholders. The incurrence of indebtedness would result in increased debt service obligations and could require us to agree to operating and financial covenants that would restrict our operations. Financing may not be available in amounts or on terms acceptable to us, if at all. Any failure by us to raise additional funds on terms favorable to us, or at all, could limit our ability to expand our business operations and could harm our overall business prospects.
We assess liquidity and going concern uncertainty in our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements to determine whether there are sufficient cash on hand and working capital, including available borrowings on loans, to operate for a period of at least one year from the date the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements are issued or available to be issued, which is referred to as the “look-forward period”, as defined in GAAP. As part of this assessment, based on conditions that are known and reasonably knowable to management, we will consider various scenarios, forecasts, projections, estimates and will make certain key assumptions, including the timing and nature of projected cash expenditures or programs, our ability to delay or curtail expenditures or programs and our ability to raise additional capital, if necessary, among other factors. Based on this assessment, as necessary or applicable, we make certain assumptions around implementing curtailments or delays in the nature and timing of programs and expenditures to the extent we deem probable those implementations can be achieved and we have the proper authority to execute them within the look-forward period.
22
We have prepared estimates of operations for fiscal years 2022 and 2023 and believe that sufficient funds will be generated from operations to fund our operations and to service our debt obligations for one year from the date of the filing of this report. We have considered the impact of COVID-19 on our business in these assumptions; however, it is too early to know the full impact of COVID-19 or its timing on a return to more normal operations.
The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis under which we are expected to be able to realize our assets and satisfy our liabilities in the normal course of business. We believe, based on relevant conditions and events that are known and reasonably knowable, that our forecasts, for one year from the date of the filing of this report, indicate improved operations and our ability to continue operations as a going concern. See Note 3 to the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements, “Liquidity and Going Concern Assessment.”

Debt
New Credit Agreement
On May 9, 2022, the Company and ACI as borrowers and certain of our subsidiaries as guarantors entered into the New Credit Agreement by and among the borrowers, the guarantors, the Lenders and the Agent, pursuant to which the Lenders have agreed to make available to the Company and ACI senior secured credit facilities in the aggregate initial amount of $140,000,000, including (i) the $100,000,000 New Term Loan and (ii) the $40,000,000 New Revolving Loan, which revolving credit facility includes the $2,000,000 New Swing Line Loan and a $2,000,000 letter of credit subfacility, in each case, on the terms and conditions contained in the New Credit Agreement. The New Loans may from time to time be further evidenced by separate promissory notes issued by the Company and ACI. On May 9, 2022, the Company borrowed the entire amount of the New Term Loan, but no New Revolving Loans have been made as of May 16, 2022.
The proceeds of the New Term Loan were applied, among other uses, to prepay the obligations in full under the Company’s existing M&T Credit Agreement. On May 9, 2022, in connection with prepayment of the obligations under the M&T Credit Agreement, the M&T Credit Agreement was terminated.
Each of the New Loans matures on May 9, 2027 (the “Maturity Date”). The New Loans will bear interest on the unpaid principal amount thereof as follows: (i) if it is a New Loan bearing interest at a rate determined by the Base Rate (as defined in the New Credit Agreement), then at the Base Rate plus the Applicable Rate (as defined in the Credit New Agreement) for such New Loan; (ii) if it is a New Loan bearing interest at a rate determined by Term SOFR (as defined in the New Credit Agreement), then at Term SOFR plus the Applicable Rate for such New Loan; and (iii) if it is a New Swing Line Loan, then at the rate applicable to New Loans bearing interest at a rate determined by the Base Rate plus the Applicable Rate for such New Loan. The New Term Loan initially bears interest at Term SOFR plus Applicable Rate, with an initial interest period of one month. The Company may elect to continue or convert the existing interest rate benchmark for the New Term Loan from Term SOFR to Base Rate, and may elect the interest rate benchmark for future New Revolving Loans as either Term SOFR or Base Rate (and, with respect to any New Loan made using Term SOFR, may also select the interest period applicable to any such New Loan), by notifying the Agent and Lenders from time to time in accordance with the provisions of the New Credit Agreement. Interest is payable in arrears on each Interest Payment Date (as defined in the New Credit Agreement). Notwithstanding the foregoing, following an event of default, the New Loans will bear interest at a rate that is 2% per annum higher than the interest rate then in effect for the applicable New Loan.
Commencing on September 30, 2022, through and including June 30, 2023, the borrowers must repay the principal amount of the New Term Loan in quarterly installments of $1,250,000 each, payable on the last business day of each March, June, September and December. Commencing on September 30, 2023, through and including June 30, 2024, the borrowers must repay the principal amount of the New Term Loan in quarterly installments of $1,875,000 each, payable on the last business day of each March, June, September and December. Commencing on September 30, 2024, through the Maturity Date, the borrowers must repay the principal amount of the New Term Loan in quarterly installments of $2,500,000 each, payable on the last business day of each March, June, September and December. The remaining unpaid principal amount of the New Term Loan must be repaid on the Maturity Date, unless payment is sooner required by the New Credit Agreement. Mandatory prepayments of New Revolving Loans are required if the amount borrowed at any time exceeds the commitment amount. New Revolving Loans may be repaid and reborrowed at any time until the Maturity Date, subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the New Credit Agreement.
The Company may voluntarily prepay the New Loans from time to time in accordance with the provisions of the New Credit Agreement, and will be required to prepay the New Loans under certain limited circumstances as set forth in the New Credit Agreement, including upon receipt of cash proceeds in connection with certain specified asset sales, receipt of loss or condemnation proceeds or other cash proceeds received other than in the ordinary course of business or upon receipt of cash proceeds from the incurrence of indebtedness that is not permitted under the New Credit Agreement, all as more specifically set forth in the New Credit Agreement.
24
Under the New Credit Agreement, the borrowers are required to pay certain fees to Agent, including, without limitation, a commitment fee of up to 0.25% per annum with respect to the unused portion of the Lenders’ revolving loan commitments, determined as set forth in the New Credit Agreement, and certain fees in connection with the issuance of any letters of credit under the New Credit Agreement.
The New Credit Agreement contains customary events of default, including, among others: (i) for failure to pay principal and interest on any of the New Loans when due, or to pay any fees or other amounts due under the New Credit Agreement; (ii) the occurrence of certain specified defaults under other agreements to which the Company or its subsidiaries is a party; (iii) for the breach of certain specified covenants in the New Credit Agreement: (iv) if any representation, warranty or certification in the New Credit Agreement or any document delivered in connection therewith was incorrect in any material respect as of the date made; (v) in the case of any voluntary or involuntary bankruptcy, insolvency or dissolution; (vi) in the case of the imposition of any money judgment, writ or similar process in an aggregate amount in excess of $4,000,000 (in certain cases, to the extent not covered by insurance); or (vii) if a Change of Control (as defined in the New Credit Agreement) occurs.
The New Credit Agreement contains customary representations, warranties and affirmative and negative financial and other covenants for loans of this type. The closing of the New Loans was subject to customary closing conditions, including delivery of the security documents described below.
The New Loans are guaranteed by the guarantors and are secured by a first priority security interest in substantially all of the assets of the borrowers and the guarantors pursuant to a security and pledge agreement entered into on May 9, 2022 among the borrowers, the guarantors and the Agent, which includes a pledge of all of the outstanding common stock of Appliances Connection and AC Gallery Inc., each of which is held by the Company, and of all of the outstanding equity interests of the remaining guarantors which is held by Appliances Connection.
M&T Credit Agreement - Refinanced
On June 2, 2021, the Company and ACI, as borrowers, entered into a credit and guaranty agreement (the “M&T Credit Agreement”) with Appliances Connection and certain other subsidiaries of the Company party thereto from time to time as guarantors, the financial institutions party thereto from time to time (“M&T Lenders”), and M&T, as sole lead arranger, sole book runner, administrative agent and collateral agent, pursuant to which the M&T Lenders agreed to make available to the Company and ACI senior secured credit facilities in the aggregate initial amount of $70.0 million, including (i) a $60.0 million term loan (the “M&T Term Loan”) and (ii) a $10.0 million revolving credit facility (the “M&T Revolving Loan”), which revolving credit facility includes a $2.0 million swingline subfacility (the “M&T Swing Line Loan” and together with the M&T Term Loan and the M&T Revolving Loan, the “M&T Loans”) and a $2.0 million letter of credit subfacility, in each case, on the terms and conditions contained in the M&T Credit Agreement. On June 2, 2021, the Company borrowed the entire amount of the M&T Term Loan and issued term loan notes to the M&T Lenders in the aggregate principal amount of $60.0 million.
As of March 31, 2022, the Company had not borrowed any amounts under the M&T Revolving Loan. As of March 31, 2022, the carrying value of the M&T Term Loan was $53.9 million, comprised of principal of $57 million, net of unamortized loan costs of $3.1 million. The Company classified $7.5 million as a current liability and the balance as a long-term liability.
The M&T Credit Agreement provided that each of the M&T Loans would mature on June 2, 2026 and would bear interest on the unpaid principal amount thereof as follows: (i) if it is a M&T Loan bearing interest at a rate determined by the Base Rate (as defined in the M&T Credit Agreement), then at the Base Rate plus the Applicable Margin (as defined in the M&T Credit Agreement) for such M&T Loan; (ii) if it is a M&T Loan bearing interest at a rate determined by the LIBOR Rate (as defined in the M&T Credit Agreement), then at the LIBOR Rate plus the Applicable Margin for such M&T Loan; and (iii) if it is a M&T Swing Line Loan, then at the rate applicable to M&T Loans bearing interest at a rate determined by the Base Rate. The M&T Term Loan initially bore interest at the LIBOR Rate plus Applicable Margin (3.9%), with an initial interest period of six months. The Company had the option to elect to continue or convert the existing interest rate benchmark for the M&T Term Loan from LIBOR Rate to Base Rate, and could elect the interest rate benchmark for future M&T Revolving Loans as either LIBOR Rate or Base Rate (and, with respect to any M&T Loan made at the LIBOR Rate, may also select the interest period applicable to any such M&T Loan), by notifying M&T and M&T Lenders from time to time in accordance with the provisions of the M&T Credit Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, following an event of default, the M&T Loans would bear interest at a rate that is 2% per annum higher than the interest rate then in effect for the applicable M&T Loan.
25
The M&T Credit Agreement also provided that the Company repay the principal amount of the M&T Term Loan in quarterly installments of $1.5 million each, payable on the last business day of each March, June, September, and December, commencing on September 30, 2021 (the March 2022 payment was in April 2022). The remaining unpaid principal amount of the M&T Term Loan must be repaid on the M&T Term Loan Maturity Date (as defined in the M&T Credit Agreement) unless payment is required sooner by the M&T Credit Agreement. M&T Revolving Loans may be repaid and reborrowed at any time until the M&T Revolving Commitment Termination date (as defined in the M&T Credit Agreement).
The M&T Loans provided for voluntary prepayment from time to time in accordance with the provisions of the M&T Credit Agreement, and required prepayment under certain limited circumstances as set forth in the M&T Credit Agreement, including upon receipt of cash proceeds in connection with certain specified asset sales, receipt of insurance or condemnation proceeds or other cash proceeds received other than in the ordinary course of business or upon receipt of cash proceeds from the incurrence of indebtedness that is not permitted under the M&T Credit Agreement, all as more specifically set forth in the M&T Credit Agreement. Additionally, mandatory repayments of amounts borrowed under the M&T Revolving Loan facility are required if the amount borrowed at any time exceeds the commitment amount.
Under the M&T Credit Agreement, the Company was required to pay certain fees to M&T, including a commitment fee of up to 0.5% per annum with respect to the unused portion of the M&T Lenders’ revolving loan commitments, determined as set forth in the M&T Credit Agreement, and certain fees in connection with the issuance of any letters of credit under the M&T Credit Agreement.
The M&T Credit Agreement contained customary representations, warranties, affirmative and negative financial and other covenants, including leverage ratio and fixed charge coverage ratios, and events of default for loans of this type. The M&T Loans are guaranteed by the guarantors and are secured by a first priority security interest in substantially all of the assets of the Company, ACI and the guarantors.
On May 9, 2022, the Company prepaid its obligations in full under the M&T Credit Agreement, and on May 9, 2022, in connection with the prepayment of the obligations under the M&T Credit Agreement, the M&T Credit Agreement was terminated.
Northpoint Loan
On June 3, 2021, we entered into a loan and security agreement with Northpoint Commercial Finance LLC (“Northpoint”), pursuant to which Northpoint may from time-to-time advance funds for the acquisition, financing and/or refinancing by the Company of inventory purchased from Samsung Electronics America, Inc. and/or affiliates and for such other purposes as are acceptable Northpoint. The loan and security agreement provides that Northpoint may establish a credit limit and may adjust such credit limit from time to time; provided that such credit limit does not constitute a commitment or committed line of credit to Northpoint. As of March 31, 2022, such credit limit is $2.0 million, of which $0.3 million was owed and included in accounts payable.
The applicable per annum interest rates for a loan, including any default rates, will be determined at the time of the loan. The loan and security agreement contains customary events of default and is secured by a security interest in all of the Company’s inventory (i) that is manufactured, distributed, or sold by Samsung Electronics America, Inc. and/or its affiliates and/or (ii) that bears any trade names, trademarks, or logos of Samsung Electronics America, Inc. and/or its affiliates; all returns, repossessions, exchanges, substitutions, replacements, attachments, parts, accessories and accessions of any of the foregoing; all price protection payments, discounts, rebates, credits, factory holdbacks and incentive payments related to any of the foregoing; supporting obligations to any of the foregoing; and products and proceeds in whatever form of any of the foregoing.
Vehicle Loans
The Company has financed purchases of transportation vehicles with notes payable, which are secured by the vehicles purchased. These notes have five-year terms and interest rates ranging from 3.59% to 5.74%. As of March 31, 2022, the outstanding balance of these vehicle loans is $1.2 million.
Management Services Agreement
On April 5, 2019, the Company entered into a management services agreement with 1847 Partners LLC (the “Manager”), a company owned and controlled by Ellery W. Roberts, the Company’s chairman and prior significant stockholder, which was amended effective on August 4, 2020. Pursuant to the offsetting management services agreement, as amended, the Company appointed the Manager to provide certain services to it for a quarterly management fee equal to $62,500; provided, however, that under certain circumstances specified in the management services agreement, the quarterly fee may be reduced if similar fees payable to the Manager by subsidiaries of the Company’s former parent company, 1847 Holdings LLC, exceed a threshold amount.
26
The Company shall also reimburse the Manager for all costs and expenses of the Company which are specifically approved by the board of directors of the Company, including all out-of-pocket costs and expenses, that are actually incurred by the Manager or its affiliates on behalf of the Company in connection with performing services under the management services agreement. The Company did not pay any expenses for the three ended March 31, 2022 and 2021.
The Company expensed management fees of $0.1 million for each of the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
For information regarding the Company’s Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates, see the “Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates” section of Item 7. “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021.
ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK.
As a smaller reporting company, we are not required to disclose information under this item.
ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES.
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
The Company maintains “disclosure controls and procedures,” as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act, designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the company’s management, including its principal executive and principal financial officers, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving their objectives. Management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of March 31, 2022.
Based on the evaluation performed as of March 31, 2022, as a result of the material weaknesses in internal control over financial reporting that are described below, and as further described in Item 9A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on March 31, 2022, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer determined that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of such date.
28
Material Weaknesses in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
Management has determined that the Company’s ineffective internal control over financial reporting and resulting material weaknesses, stem primarily from management’s inability to maintain appropriately designed controls, which impacts the control environment, risk assessment procedures and ability to detect or prevent material misstatements to the financial statements. The material weaknesses were attributed to:
● | Lack of structure and responsibility, insufficient number of qualified resources and inadequate oversight and accountability over the performance of controls; |
● | Ineffective assessment and identification of changes in risk impacting internal control over financial reporting; |
● | Inadequate selection and development of effective control activities, general controls over technology and effective policies and procedures; and |
● | Ineffective evaluation and determination as to whether the components of internal control were present and functioning. |
Management’s Remediation Plans
Management is actively engaged in the implementation of remediation plans to address the controls contributing to the material weaknesses. During the three months ended March 31, 2022, the Company has taken, and continues to take, the following remediation actions:
● | Enhance reporting structure and increase the number of qualified resources in roles over internal control over financial reporting; |
● | Establish formal risk assessment procedures to identify and monitor changes in the organization that could have an impact on internal control over financial reporting; and |
● | Develop and document policies and procedures, including related business process and technology controls, assess their effectiveness and establish a program for continuous assessment of their effectiveness. |
We believe these measures will remediate the control deficiencies, but management is assessing the need for any additional steps to remediate the underlying causes that give rise to these material weaknesses. The material weaknesses will not be considered remediated until the applicable controls operate for a sufficient period of time and management has concluded, through testing, that these controls are operating effectively. There is no assurance that additional remediation steps will not be necessary.
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
Except as set forth above, there were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) during the quarter ended March 31, 2022 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II
OTHER INFORMATION
ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS.
At the Company’s annual meeting on December 21, 2021, the stockholders were asked to approve an amendment to the Company’s Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, dated July 30, 2020 (the “Certificate of Incorporation”), increasing the number of authorized shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (“Common Stock” and such proposal, the “Share Increase Proposal”) by 50,000,000 shares of Common Stock. As reported in a Form 8-K filing on December 28, 2021, the Share Increase Proposal was adopted and a Certificate of Amendment to the Certificate of Incorporation setting forth the amendment adopted pursuant to the Share Increase Proposal (the “Certificate of Amendment”) was filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware (the “Delaware Secretary of State”). To date, none of these newly authorized shares has actually been issued.
Three purported beneficial owners of Common Stock subsequently expressed concerns about a statement in the Company’s proxy statement related to the Share Increase Proposal, specifically questioning, in light of the proxy statement, the ability of brokerage firms and other custodians to vote shares of Common Stock held by them for the benefit of their customers in the absence of instructions from the beneficial owners. Based on an examination of the situation performed following receipt of these demands, the Company believes that the vote at the annual meeting was properly tabulated and that the proposed amendment was properly adopted in accordance with Delaware law. In light of the demands, however, and to ensure against any future question as to the validity of these newly authorized shares, the Company elected to seek validation of its Certificate of Amendment through a Petition to the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware (the “Court of Chancery”) pursuant to Section 205 of the Delaware General Corporation Law (the “205 Petition”), dated as of March 9, 2022. The action, styled In re 1847 Goedeker Inc., C.A. 2022-0219-SG, seeks entry by the Court of Chancery of an order validating and declaring effective the Certificate of Amendment, and validating the additional shares of Common Stock authorized under the Share Increase Proposal.
Shortly before the 205 Petition was filed, one of the purported stockholders who had submitted a demand related to adoption of the Share Increase Proposal also filed a Class Action Complaint in the Court of Chancery against the Company and its Board of Directors on March 1, 2022. That lawsuit, captioned Scot T. Boden v. 1847 Goedeker Inc., et al., C.A. No. 2022-0196-SG (the “Boden Action”), asserts two claims for relief. The first is against the Company for alleged violation of the Delaware General Corporation Law Section 225(b) for improper tabulation of the stockholder vote on the Share Increase Proposal. The second asserts that the Company’s directors breached their fiduciary duties by incorrectly tabulating the stockholder vote, and by causing a purportedly invalid amendment to our Certificate of Incorporation to be filed with the Delaware Secretary of State. The Boden Action has been consolidated with the 205 Petition; and for reasons set out in the 205 Petition, the Company and its directors believe the Boden Action to be without merit and intend to defend the claims. Mr. Boden and a second purported stockholder, Robert Corwin, have both filed briefs opposing the 205 Petition. Under a scheduling order issued by the Court of Chancery on May 6, 2022, the Company intends to file a reply brief in further support of the 205 Petition by May 20, 2022. The Court of Chancery has scheduled a hearing on the matter for May 27, 2022. The Company cannot predict the outcome of these proceedings, or the timing of any decision from the Court.
From time to time, we may be subject to various legal proceedings and claims arising in the ordinary course of business. All other litigation currently pending against the Company relates to matters that have arisen in the ordinary course of business and we believe that such matters will not have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS.
Factors that could cause our actual results to differ materially from those in this report include the risk factors described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on March 31, 2022. Any of those factors could result in a significant or material adverse effect on our results of operations or financial condition. Additional risk factors not presently known to us or that we currently deem immaterial may also impair our business or results of operations. As of the date of this report, there have been no material changes to the risk factors disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on March 31, 2022, except for the below risk factors. We may disclose changes to such factors or disclose additional factors from time to time in our future filings with the SEC.
Increasing tensions between the United States and Russia, and other effects of the ongoing conflict in Ukraine, could negatively impact our business, results of operations, and financial condition.
While we do not operate in Russia or Ukraine, the increasing tensions between the United States and Russia and the other effects of the ongoing conflict in Ukraine, have resulted in many broader economic impacts such as the United States imposing sanctions, bans against Russia and Russian products imported into the United States, and disruption of the production and delivery of products and parts from Ukraine and Russia. Such sanctions, bans and disruptions have affected and may continue to affect commodity pricing such as fuel and energy costs, making it more expensive for us and our partners to deliver products to our customers. Further sanctions, bans, disruptions or other economic actions in response to or because the ongoing conflict in Ukraine could result in an increase in costs, further disruptions to our supply chain, and a lack of consumer confidence resulting in reduced demand. While the extent of such items is not presently known, any of them could negatively affect our business, results of operations, and financial condition.
Numerous economic factors, including inflation, our exposure to the U.S. housing industry, and the potential for a decrease in consumer spending, could adversely affect us.
Economic conditions, including inflation and weakness in the U.S. housing industry, could decrease consumer discretionary spending and adversely affect our financial performance. Consumer prices have experienced their largest percentage increases since 1981, and interest rates have begun to increase. We believe that our sales of home-related products are affected by the strength of the U.S. housing industry. Downturns in the U.S. housing industry could have a material adverse effect on our financial results, business, and prospects. Similarly, a substantial portion of the products and services we offer are products or services that consumers may view as discretionary items rather than necessities. As a result, our results of operations are sensitive to changes in macroeconomic conditions that affect consumer spending, including discretionary spending. Difficult macroeconomic conditions also affect our customers' ability to obtain consumer credit. Other factors, including consumer confidence, employment levels, interest rates, tax rates, consumer debt levels, and fuel and energy costs could reduce consumer spending or change consumer purchasing habits. Slowdowns in the U.S. or global economy, or an uncertain economic outlook, could materially adversely affect consumer spending habits and could have a material adverse effect on our financial results, business, and prospects.
ITEM 2. UNREGISTERED SALES OF EQUITY SECURITIES AND USE OF PROCEEDS.
We have not sold any equity securities during three months ended March 31, 2022 that were not previously disclosed in a current report on Form 8-K that was filed during the quarter.
We did not repurchase any shares of our common stock during the three months ended March 31, 2022.
