This year I celebrated my 25th anniversary with Crown 

Crafts. As I look back on these years, I am amazed by 

all of our accomplishments. I took over as President 

and Chief Executive Officer in 2001 as the Company 

was transforming from an adult bedding and home 

furnishings manufacturer to focusing solely on infant 

and juvenile consumer products. Some of the highlights 

of my tenure with the Company that I am very proud 

of are the retirement of a tremendous amount of debt, 

the consummation of several key acquisitions, the 

Company’s listing on Nasdaq, the resumption of dividend 

payments, and most importantly, consistent profitability.

ITEM 1. Business 

Description of Business 

PART I 

The  Company  was  incorporated  as  a  Georgia  corporation  in  1957  and  was  reincorporated  as  a  Delaware 
corporation in 2003. The Company’s executive offices are located at 916 South Burnside Avenue, Suite 300, Gonzales, 
Louisiana 70737, its telephone number is (225) 647-9100 and its internet address is www.crowncrafts.com. 

The Company operates indirectly through its wholly-owned subsidiaries, Sassy Baby, Inc. (formerly known as 
Hamco, Inc.) (“Sassy”), NoJo Baby & Kids, Inc. (formerly known as Crown Crafts Infant Products, Inc.) (“NoJo”) and Carousel 
Designs, LLC (“Carousel”), in the infant, toddler and juvenile products segment within the consumer products industry. 
The infant, toddler and juvenile products segment consists of infant and toddler bedding and blankets, bibs, soft bath 
products, disposable products, developmental toys and accessories. Sales of the Company’s products are generally made 
directly to retailers, such as mass merchants, large chain stores, mid-tier retailers, juvenile specialty stores, value channel 
stores, grocery and drug stores, restaurants, wholesale clubs and internet-based retailers, as well as directly to consumers 
through  www.babybedding.com.  The  Company’s  products  are  marketed  under  a  variety  of  Company-owned 
trademarks, under trademarks licensed from others and as private label goods. 

The Company's fiscal year ends on the Sunday nearest to or on March 31. References to “fiscal year 2020” or 
“2020” represent the 52-week period ended March 29, 2020 and “fiscal year 2019” or “2019” represent the 52-week period 
ended March 31, 2019. 

The Company makes its annual reports on Form 10-K, quarterly reports on Form 10-Q, current reports on Form

International Sales 

Sales to customers in countries other than the U.S. represented 6% and 4% of the Company’s total gross sales 
during  fiscal  years  2020  and  2019,  respectively,  which  included  2%  of  sales  to  the  customers  set  forth  below  that 
represented at least 10% of the Company’s gross sales during fiscal year 2020. International sales are based upon the 
location that predominately represents what the Company believes to be the final destination of the products delivered 
to the Company’s customers. 

Company Response to COVID-19 

In  late  January  2020,  the  Company began  to  monitor  the  global  effects  of  “COVID-19,”  an  infectious  disease 
caused by Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2 (SARS CoV-2) that was first detected in November 2019 in 
the city of Wuhan, China. 

The  subsequent  spread  of  COVID-19  to  the  U.S.  and  many  other  parts  of  the  world  led  the  World  Health 
Organization to characterize COVID-19 as a pandemic on March 11, 2020. Thereafter, most U.S. states imposed “stay-at-
home” orders on their populations to stem the spread of COVID-19. Of specific interest to the Company, stay-at-home 
orders were imposed in the states of California and Louisiana on March 20, 2020 and March 23, 2020, respectively. 

The stay-at-home orders generally required the closure of businesses that did not provide essential functions. 
Because the Company’s operations at its distribution center in Compton, California and its manufacturing operations in 
Douglasville, Georgia provide essential functions, the Company has continued shipping, receiving and manufacturing 
activities at these facilities. The Company advised all other employees that could perform their job functions remotely to 
do so. As of May 18, 2020, the Company’s Compton, California and Gonzales, Louisiana facilities were fully operational. 

On March 27, 2020, President Trump signed the Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security (the “CARES Act”), 
which,  among  other  things,  outlines  the  provisions  of  the  Paycheck  Protection  Program  (the  “PPP”).  The  Company 
determined that it met the criteria to be eligible to obtain a loan under the PPP because, among other reasons, in light of 
the COVID-19 outbreak and the uncertainty of economic conditions related thereto, the loan was necessary to support 
the Company’s ongoing operations. Under the PPP, the Company could obtain a U.S. Small Business Administration loan 
in an amount equal to the average of the Company’s monthly payroll costs (as defined under the PPP) for calendar 2019 
multiplied by 2.5 (approximately 10 weeks of payroll costs). Section 1106 of the CARES Act contains provisions for the 
forgiveness of all or a portion of a PPP loan, subject to the satisfaction of certain requirements.  The amount eligible for 
forgiveness  is,  subject  to  certain  limitations,  the  sum  of  the  Company’s  payroll  costs,  rent  and  utilities  paid  by  the 
Company during the eight-week period beginning on the funding date of the PPP loan. 

On April 19, 2020, the Company closed on a PPP loan in the amount of $1,963,800, which was funded on April 
20,  2020  and  which  was  transferred  by  the  Company  into  an  account  dedicated  to  allowable  uses  of  the  PPP  loan 
proceeds. 

The COVID-19 outbreak and the uncertainty of economic conditions relating thereto may negatively impact the 
Company’s  results  of  operations,  cash  flows  and  financial  position;  however,  the  overall  financial  impact  cannot  be 
reasonably estimated at this time. Based on the operational and financial plans that management has developed, the 
Company expects to be able to meet its obligations as they become due over the next twelve months. 

Competition 

The infant and toddler consumer products industry is highly competitive. The Company competes with a variety 
of  distributors  and  manufacturers  (both  branded  and  private  label),  including  large  infant  and  juvenile  product 
companies and specialty infant and juvenile product manufacturers, on the basis of quality, design, price, brand name 
recognition, service and packaging. The Company’s ability to compete depends principally on styling, price, service to 
the retailer and continued high regard for the Company’s products and trade names.

Employees 

As  of  May  18,  2020,  the  Company  had  138  employees,  none  of  whom  is  represented  by  a  labor  union  or  is 
otherwise  a  party  to  a  collective  bargaining  agreement.  The  Company  attracts  and  maintains  qualified  personnel  by 
paying  competitive  salaries  and  benefits  and  offering  opportunities  for  advancement.  The  Company  considers  its 
relationship with its employees to be good. 

Seasonality and Inventory Management 

There are no significant variations in the seasonal demand for the Company’s products from year to year. Sales 
are generally higher in periods when customers take initial shipments of new products, as these orders typically include 
enough products for initial sets for each store and additional quantities for the customer’s distribution centers. The timing 
of these initial shipments varies by customer and depends on when the customer finalizes store layouts for the upcoming 
year and whether the customer has any mid-year introductions of products. Sales may also be higher or lower, as the 
case  may  be,  in  periods  when  customers  are  restricting  internal  inventory  levels.  Consistent  with  the  expected 
introduction of specific product offerings, the Company carries necessary levels of inventory to meet the anticipated 
delivery requirements of its customers. Customer returns of merchandise shipped are historically less than 1% of gross 
sales. 

Trademarks, Copyrights and Patents 

The Company considers its intellectual property to be of material importance to its business. Sales of products 
marketed under the Company’s trademarks, including NoJo®, Neat Solutions®, Carousel Designs® and Sassy®, accounted 
for 36% and 38% of the Company’s total gross sales during fiscal years 2020 and 2019, respectively. Protection for these 
trademarks is obtained through domestic and foreign registrations. The Company also markets designs which are subject 
to copyrights and design patents owned by the Company. 

Products 

The Company's primary focus is on infant, toddler and juvenile products, including the following: 

room décor 
reusable and disposable bibs 

infant and toddler bedding 
(cid:404) 
(cid:404)  blankets and swaddle blankets

Customers 

The  Company's  customers  consist  principally  of  mass  merchants,  mid-tier  retailers,  juvenile  specialty  stores, 
value channel stores, grocery and drug stores, restaurants, internet accounts and wholesale clubs. The Company does 
not enter into long-term or other purchase agreements with its customers. The table below sets forth those customers 
that represented at least 10% of the Company’s gross sales in fiscal years 2020 and 2019.

Sales and Marketing 

The Company’s products are marketed through a national sales force consisting of salaried sales executives and 
employees located in Compton, California; Gonzales, Louisiana; Grand Rapids, Michigan; and Bentonville, Arkansas and 
by independent commissioned sales representatives located throughout the United States. Products are also marketed 
directly  to  consumers  from  a  Company  facility  in  Douglasville,  Georgia.  The  Company's  subsidiaries  introduce  new 
products throughout the year and participate at the Kind + Jugend international trade fair for premium baby and toddler 
products in Cologne, Germany. Due to COVID-19, the Company will not participate at this trade fair in calendar 2020; 
however, it is expected that the Company will attend in calendar 2021. 

Government Regulation and Environmental Control 

The Company is subject to various federal, state and local environmental laws and regulations, which regulate, 
among other things, product safety and the discharge, storage, handling and disposal of a variety of substances and 
wastes,  and  to  laws  and  regulations  relating  to  employee  safety  and  health,  principally  the  Occupational  Safety  and 
Health Administration Act and regulations thereunder. The Company believes that it currently complies in all material 
respects with applicable environmental, health and safety laws and regulations and that future compliance with such 
existing laws or regulations will not have a material adverse effect on its capital expenditures, earnings or competitive 
position. However, there is no assurance that such requirements will not become more stringent in the future or that the 
Company will not have to incur significant costs to comply with such requirements. 

Product Sourcing 

Foreign  and  domestic  contract  manufacturers  produce  most  of  the  Company’s  products,  with  the  largest 
concentration being in China. The Company makes sourcing decisions on the basis of quality, timeliness of delivery and 
price, including the impact of ocean freight and duties. Although the Company maintains relationships with a limited 
number of suppliers, the Company believes that its products may be readily manufactured by several alternative sources 
in  quantities  sufficient  to  meet  the  Company's  requirements.  The  Company’s  management  and  quality  assurance 
personnel visit the third-party facilities regularly to monitor and audit product quality and to ensure compliance with 
labor requirements and social and environmental standards.  In addition, the Company closely monitors the currency 
exchange rate. The impact of future fluctuations in the exchange rate or changes in safeguards cannot be predicted with 
certainty. The Company also produces some of its products domestically at a Company facility located in Douglasville, 
Georgia. 

The Company maintains a foreign representative office located in Shanghai, China, which is responsible for the 
coordination of production, purchases and shipments, seeking out new vendors and overseeing inspections for social 
compliance and quality. 

The Company’s products are warehoused and distributed from leased facilities located in Compton, California 

and Douglasville, Georgia. 

Product Design and Styling 

The Company believes that its creative team is one of its key strengths. The Company’s product designs are 
primarily  created  internally  and  are  supplemented  by  numerous  additional  sources,  including  independent  artists, 
decorative  fabric  manufacturers  and  apparel  designers.  Ideas  for  product  design  creations  are  drawn  from  various 
sources and are reviewed and modified by the design staff to ensure consistency within the Company’s existing product 
offerings and the themes and images associated with such existing products. In order to respond effectively to changing 
consumer preferences, the Company’s designers and stylists attempt to stay abreast of emerging lifestyle trends in color, 
fashion and design. When designing products under the Company’s various licensed brands, the Company’s designers 
coordinate  their  efforts  with  the  licensors’  design  teams  to  provide  for  a  more  fluid  design  approval  process  and  to 
effectively incorporate the image of the licensed brand into the product. The Company’s designs include traditional, 
contemporary, textured and whimsical patterns across a broad spectrum of retail price points. Utilizing state of the art 
computer technology, the Company continually develops new designs throughout the year for all of its product groups. 
This continual development cycle affords the Company design flexibility, multiple opportunities to present new products 
to  customers  and  the  ability  to  provide  timely  responses  to  customer  demands  and  changing  market  trends.  The

Company also creates designs for exclusive sale by certain of its customers under the Company’s brands, as well as the 
customers’ private label brands. 

Licensed Products 

Certain products are manufactured and sold pursuant to licensing agreements for trademarks. Also, many of the 
designs used by the Company are copyrighted by other parties, including trademark licensors, and are available to the 
Company through copyright license agreements. The licensing agreements are generally for an initial term of one to 
three years and may or may not be subject to renewal or extension. Sales of licensed products represented 40% of the 
Company’s gross sales in fiscal year 2020, which included 30% of sales under the Company's license agreements with 
affiliated companies of The Walt Disney Company (“Disney”), which expire as set forth below:

 ITEM 1A. Risk Factors 

The  following  risk  factors  as  well  as  the  other  information  contained  in  this  report  and  other  filings  made  by  the 
Company with the SEC should be considered in evaluating the Company’s business. Additional risks and uncertainties that are 
not presently known or that are not currently considered material may also impair the Company’s business operations. If any 
of the following risks actually occur, operating results may be affected in future periods. 

The  outbreak  of  COVID-19  may  adversely  affect  the  Company’s  business  operations,  employee  availability, 
financial condition, liquidity and cash flow. 

The COVID-19 outbreak, and the government and private sector responses thereto, has negatively impacted 
certain of the Company’s customers who have been forced to temporarily close retail stores or have seen a significant 
decline in their sales. As a result, the Company experienced a decrease in sales to these customers beginning in March 
2020. This decrease, however, has been somewhat offset by higher sales to other customers and sales in other channels, 
such as e-commerce. The Company cannot predict with certainty when or if these customers will reopen their retail stores 
or if demand from consumers will return to the same level as it was prior to the COVID-19 outbreak. If the Company’s 
customers  experience  financial  difficulties  as  a  result  of  the  COVID-19  outbreak,  they  may  close  their  retail  stores 
permanently, reduce orders, file for bankruptcy or liquidate, any of which may negatively impact the Company’s sales. 

In addition, beginning in February 2020 the Company experienced supply chain disruption because nearly all of 
the Company’s products are imported from China. While the Company’s product supply from Chinese manufacturers has 
begun to return to normal levels, the supply chain could again be disrupted if there is another outbreak of COVID-19 in 
China. As of May 18, 2020, the majority of the Company’s foreign suppliers have returned to full capacity. 

As discussed above, the Company has continued to operate its distribution center in Compton, California and 
its manufacturing operations in Douglasville, Georgia. While the Company has implemented additional safety measures 
for its workers in these facilities, the Company may be required to temporarily close these facilities if there are confirmed 
cases of COVID-19 at the facilities, which would impact the Company’s ability to timely ship products to its customers. 

In addition to the specific risks described above, the Company may also be subject to the effects that the COVID-
19 outbreak will have on the U.S. economy in general, including high rates of unemployment and a potential economic 
recession. These effects may reduce consumers’ discretionary spending and, accordingly, the demand for the Company’s 
products. 

The Company continues to monitor the impact of the COVID-19 outbreak on its supply chain, manufacturing 
and  distribution  operations,  customers  and  employees,  as  well  as  the  U.S.  economy  in  general.  However,  due  to  the 
uncertainty as to when governmental restrictions on business will be fully lifted, the impact thereof, and the duration 

5 

  
  
 
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
and widespread nature of the COVID-19 outbreak, the Company cannot currently predict the long-term impact on its 
operations  and  financial  results.  The  uncertainties  associated  with  the  COVID-19  outbreak  include  potential  adverse 
effects  on  the  overall  economy,  the  Company’s  supply  chain,  transportation  services,  employees  and  customers, 
consumer  sentiment  in  general,  and  traffic  within  the retail  stores  that  carry  the  Company’s  products.  The  COVID-19 
outbreak could adversely affect the Company’s revenues, earnings, liquidity and cash flows and may require significant 
actions in response, including employee furloughs, closings of Company facilities, expense reductions or discounts of the 
pricing of the Company’s products, all in an effort to mitigate such effects. Conditions surrounding COVID-19 change 
rapidly, and additional impacts of which the Company is not currently aware may arise. 

The loss of one or more of the Company’s key customers could result in a material loss of revenues. 

The Company’s top two customers represented approximately 62% of gross sales in fiscal year 2020. Although 
the  Company  does  not  enter  into  contracts  with  its  key  customers,  it  expects  its  key  customers  to  continue  to  be  a 
significant portion of its gross sales in the future. The loss of, or a decline in orders from, one or more of these customers 
could result in a material decrease in the Company’s revenue and operating income. 

The loss of one or more of the Company’s licenses could result in a material loss of revenues. 

Sales of licensed products represented 40% of the Company’s gross sales in fiscal year 2020, which included 30% 
of sales associated with the Company’s license agreements with Disney. The Company could experience a material loss 
of revenues if it is unable to renew its major license agreements or obtain new licenses. The volume of sales of licensed 
products is inherently tied to the success of the characters, films and other licensed programs of the Company’s licensors. 
A decline in the popularity of these licensed programs or the inability of the licensors to develop new properties for 
licensing could also result in a material loss of revenues to the Company. Additionally, the Company’s license agreements 
with Disney and others require a material amount of minimum guaranteed royalty payments. The failure by the Company 
to achieve the sales envisioned by the license agreements could result in the payment by the Company of shortfalls in 
the minimum guaranteed royalty payments, which would adversely impact the Company’s operating results. 

The strength of the Company’s competitors may impact the Company’s ability to maintain and grow its sales, 
which could decrease the Company’s revenues. 

The infant and toddler consumer products industry is highly competitive. The Company competes with a variety 
of  distributors  and  manufacturers,  both  branded  and  private  label.  The  Company’s  ability  to  compete  successfully 
depends principally on styling, price, service to the retailer and continued high regard for the Company’s products and 
trade names. Several of these competitors are larger than the Company and have greater financial resources than the 
Company, and some have experienced financial challenges from time to time, including servicing significant levels of 
debt. Those facing financial pressures could choose to make particularly aggressive pricing decisions in an attempt to 
increase revenue. The effects of increased competition could result in a material decrease in the Company’s revenues. 

The  Company’s  business  is  impacted  by  general  economic  conditions  and  related  uncertainties,  including  a 
declining birthrate, affecting markets in which the Company operates. 

The Company’s  growth  is  largely  dependent  upon  growth  in  the  birthrate,  and  in  particular,  the rate  of  first 
births. Economic conditions, including the real and perceived threat of a recession, could lead individuals to decide to 
forgo or delay having children. Even under optimal economic conditions, shifts in demographic trends and preferences 
could have the consequence of individuals starting to have children later in life and/or having fewer children.  In recent 
years, the birthrate in the United States has steadily declined. These conditions could result in reduced demand for some 
of the  Company’s products,  increased  order  cancellations  and  returns,  an  increased  risk  of  excess  and  obsolete 
inventories and increased pressure on the prices of the Company’s products.  Also, although the Company’s use of a 
commercial factor significantly reduces the risk associated with collecting accounts receivable, the factor may at any time 
terminate  or  limit  its  approval  of  shipments  to  a  particular  customer,  and  the  likelihood  of  the  factor  doing  so  may 
increase due to a change in economic conditions.  Such an action by the factor could result in the loss of future sales to 
the affected customer. 

6 

  
  
   
  
  
  
  
  
  
 
 
The Company’s success is dependent upon retaining key management personnel. 

Certain of the Company’s executive management and other key personnel have been integral to the Company’s 
operations and the execution of its growth strategy. The departure from the Company of one or more of these individuals, 
along with the inability of the Company to attract qualified and suitable individuals to fill the Company’s open positions, 
could adversely impact the Company’s growth and operating results. 

The Company may need to write down or write off inventory. 

If product programs end before the inventory is completely sold, then the remaining inventory may have to be 
sold at less than carrying value. The market value of certain inventory items could drop to below carrying value after a 
decline in sales, at the end of programs, or when management makes the decision to exit a product group. Such inventory 
would then need to be written down to the lower of carrying or market value, or possibly completely written off, which 
would adversely affect the Company’s operating results. 

Recalls or product liability claims could increase costs or reduce sales.  

The Company must comply with the Consumer Product Safety Improvement Act, which imposes strict standards 
to  protect  children  from  potentially  harmful  products  and  which  requires  that  the  Company’s  products  be  tested  to 
ensure  that  they  are  within  acceptable  levels  for  lead  and  phthalates.  The  Company  must  also  comply  with  related 
regulations  developed  by  the  Consumer  Product  Safety  Commission  and  similar  state  regulatory  authorities.  The 
Company’s products could be subject to involuntary recalls and other actions by these authorities, and concerns about 
product safety may lead the Company to voluntarily recall, accept returns or discontinue the sale of select products. 
Product liability claims could exceed or fall outside the scope of the Company’s insurance coverage. Recalls or product 
liability  claims  could  result  in  decreased  consumer  demand  for  the  Company’s  products,  damage  to  the  Company’s 
reputation, a diversion of management’s attention from its business and increased customer service and support costs, 
any or all of which could adversely affect the Company’s operating results. 

Disruptions to the Company’s information technology systems could negatively affect the Company’s results of 
operations. 

The  Company’s  operations  are  highly  dependent  upon computer  hardware  and  software  systems,  including 
customized  information  technology  systems  and  cloud-based  applications.  The  Company  also  employs  third-party 
systems  and  software  that  are  integral  to  its  operations.  These  systems  are  vulnerable  to  cybersecurity  incidents, 
including disruptions and security breaches, which can result from unintentional events or deliberate attacks by insiders 
or  third  parties,  such  as  cybercriminals,  competitors,  nation-states,  computer  hackers  and  other  cyber  terrorists.  The 
Company  faces  an  evolving  landscape  of  cybersecurity  threats  in  which  evildoers  use  a  complex  array  of  means  to 
perpetrate  attacks,  including  the  use  of  stolen  access  credentials,  malware,  ransomware,  phishing,  structured  query 
language injection attacks and distributed denial-of-service attacks. The Company has implemented security measures 
to  securely  maintain  confidential  and  proprietary  information  stored  on  the  Company’s  information  systems  and 
continually invests in maintaining and upgrading the systems and applications to mitigate these risks. There can be no 
assurance that these measures and technology will adequately prevent an intrusion or that a third party that is relied 
upon by the Company will not suffer an intrusion, that unauthorized individuals will not gain access to confidential or 
proprietary information or that any such incident will be timely detected and effectively countered. A significant data 
security  breach  could  result  in  negative  consequences,  including  a  disruption  to  the  Company’s  operations  and 
substantial remediation costs, such as liability for stolen assets or information, repairs of system damage, and incentives 
to  customers  or  other  business  partners  in  an  effort  to  maintain  relationships  after  an  attack.  An  assault  against  the 
Company’s information technology infrastructure could also lead to other adverse impacts to its results of operations 
such as increased future cybersecurity protection costs, which may include the costs of making organizational changes, 
deploying additional personnel and protection technologies, and engaging third-party experts and consultants. 

Economic conditions could result in an increase in the amounts paid for the Company’s products. 

Significant increases in the price of raw materials that are components of the Company’s products, including 
cotton, oil and labor, could adversely affect the amounts that the Company must pay its suppliers for its finished goods. 
If the Company is unable to pass these cost increases along to its customers, its profitability could be adversely affected. 

7 

  
  
  
   
  
  
  
  
  
  
The Company’s ability to successfully identify, consummate and integrate acquisitions, divestitures and other 
significant transactions could have an adverse impact on the Company’s financial results, business and prospects. 

As part of its business strategy, the Company has made acquisitions of businesses, divestitures of businesses and 
assets, and has entered into other transactions to further the interests of the Company’s business and its stockholders. 
Risks associated with such activities include the following, any of which could adversely affect the Company’s financial 
results: 

(cid:404)  The  active  management  of  acquisitions,  divestitures  and  other  significant  transactions  requires  varying
levels of Company resources, including the efforts of the Company’s key management personnel, which
could divert attention from the Company’s ongoing business operations. 

(cid:404)  The  Company  may  not  fully  realize  the  anticipated  benefits  and  expected  synergies  of  any  particular 
acquisition  or  investment,  or  may  experience  a  prolonged  timeframe  for  realizing  such  benefits  and
synergies. 
Increased or unexpected costs, unanticipated delays or failure to meet contractual obligations could make
acquisitions and investments less profitable or unprofitable. 

(cid:404) 

(cid:404)  The failure to retain executive management members and other key personnel of the acquired business
that may have been integral to the operations and the execution of the growth strategy of the acquired
business. 

The Company could experience losses associated with its intellectual property. 

The Company relies upon the fair interpretation and enforcement of patent, copyright, trademark and trade 
secret laws in the U.S., similar laws in other countries, and agreements with employees, customers, suppliers, licensors 
and  other  parties.  Such  reliance  serves  to  establish  and  maintain  the  intellectual  property  rights  associated  with  the 
products that the Company develops and sells. However, the laws and courts of certain countries at times do not protect 
intellectual property rights or respect contractual agreements to the same extent as the laws of the U.S. Therefore, in 
certain jurisdictions the Company may not be able to protect its intellectual property rights against counterfeiting or 
enforce  its  contractual  agreements  with  other  parties.  In  addition,  another  party  could  claim  that  the  Company  is 
infringing upon such party’s intellectual property rights, and claims of this type could lead to a civil complaint. 

An unfavorable outcome in litigation involving intellectual property could result in any or all of the following: (i) 
civil judgments against the Company, which could require the payment of royalties on both past and future sales of 
certain  products,  as  well  as  plaintiff’s  attorneys’  fees  and  other  litigation  costs;  (ii)  impairment  charges  of  up  to  the 
carrying value of the Company’s intellectual property rights; (iii) restrictions on the ability of the Company to sell certain 
of  its  products;  (iv)  legal  and  other  costs  associated  with  investigations  and  litigation;  and  (v)  adverse  effects  on  the 
Company’s competitive position. 

A  significant  disruption  to  the  Company’s  distribution  network  or  to  the  timely  receipt  of  inventory  could 
adversely impact sales or increase transportation costs, which would decrease the Company’s profits. 

Nearly all of the Company’s products are imported from China into the Port of Long Beach in Southern California. 
There are many links in the distribution chain, including the availability of ocean freight, cranes, dockworkers, containers, 
tractors, chassis and drivers. The timely receipt of the Company’s products is also dependent upon efficient operations 
at the Port of Long Beach. Any shortages in the availability of any of these links or disruptions in port operations, including 
strikes, lockouts or other work stoppages or slowdowns, could cause bottlenecks and other congestion in the distribution 
network, which could adversely impact the Company’s ability to obtain adequate inventory on a timely basis and result 
in lost sales, increased transportation costs and an overall decrease of the Company’s profits. 

The Company’s sourcing and marketing operations in foreign countries are subject to anti-corruption laws. 

The Company’s foreign operations are subject to laws prohibiting improper payments and bribery, including 
the  U.S.  Foreign  Corrupt  Practices  Act  and  similar  laws  and  regulations  in  foreign  jurisdictions,  which  apply  to  the 
Company’s directors, officers, employees and agents acting on behalf of the Company. Failure to comply with these laws 
could result in damage to the Company’s reputation, a diversion of management’s attention from its business, increased 
legal and investigative costs, and civil and criminal penalties, any or all of which could adversely affect the Company’s 
operating results. 

8 

  
  
  
  
  
  
   
  
  
  
  
  
  
Customer  pricing  pressures  could  result  in  lower  selling  prices,  which  could  negatively  affect  the  Company’s 
operating results. 

The  Company’s  customers  could  place  pressure  on  the  Company  to  reduce  the  prices  of  its  products.  The 
Company continuously strives to stay ahead of its competition in sourcing, which allows the Company to obtain lower 
cost products while maintaining high standards for quality. There can be no assurance that the Company could respond 
to a decrease in sales prices by proportionately reducing its costs, which could adversely affect the Company’s operating 
results. 

The Company’s inability to anticipate and respond to consumers’ tastes and preferences could adversely affect 
the Company’s revenues. 

Sales are driven by consumer demand for the Company’s products. There can be no assurance that the demand 
for the Company’s products will not decline or that the Company will be able to anticipate and respond to changes in 
demand related to consumers’ tastes and preferences. The Company’s failure to adapt to these changes could lead to 
lower sales and excess inventory, which could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial condition and 
operating results. 

Changes in international trade regulations and other risks associated with foreign trade could adversely affect 
the Company’s sourcing. 

The Company sources its products primarily from foreign contract manufacturers, with the largest concentration 
being  in  China.  Difficulties  encountered  by  these  suppliers,  such  as  fires,  accidents,  natural  disasters,  outbreaks  of 
infectious diseases (including the COVID-19 outbreak) and the instability inherent in operating within an authoritarian 
political structure, could halt or disrupt production and shipment of the Company’s products. The Chinese government 
could make allegations against the Company of corruption or antitrust violations, or could adopt regulations related to 
the  manufacture  of  products  within  China,  including  quotas,  duties,  taxes  and  other  charges  or  restrictions  on  the 
exportation  of  goods  produced  in  China.  Alternatively,  the  U.S.  government  could  impose  similar  actions  on  the 
importation of goods manufactured in China. Any of these actions could result in an increase in the cost of the Company’s 
products. Also, an arbitrary strengthening of the Chinese currency versus the U.S. Dollar could increase the prices at which 
the Company purchases finished goods. In addition, changes in U.S. customs procedures or delays in the clearance of 
goods through customs could result in the Company being unable to deliver goods to customers in a timely manner or 
the  potential  loss  of  sales  altogether.  The  occurrence  of  any  of  these  events  could  adversely  affect  the  Company’s 
profitability. 

The Company could experience adjustments to its effective tax rate or its prior tax obligations, either of which 
could adversely affect its results of operations. 

The Company is subject to income taxes in the many jurisdictions in which it operates, including the U.S., several 
U.S.  states  and  China.  At  any  particular  point  in  time,  several  tax  years  are  subject  to  general  examination  or  other 
adjustment by these various jurisdictions. In December 2016, the Company received notification from the Franchise Tax 
Board of the State of California (the “FTB”) of its intention to examine the Company’s claims for refund made in connection 
with amended consolidated income tax returns that the Company had filed for the fiscal years ended April 3, 2011, April 
1, 2012, March 31, 2013 and March 30, 2014. On July 31, 2019, the FTB notified the Company that it would take no further 
action with regard to the claims for refund for fiscal years ended April 3, 2011, April 1, 2012 and March 31, 2013. The 
ultimate resolution of the claim for refund for the fiscal year ended March 30, 2014 could include administrative or legal 
proceedings. Although the Company believes that the calculations and positions taken on its original and amended filed 
returns are reasonable and justifiable, negotiations or litigation leading to the final outcome of any examination or claim 
for refund could result in an adjustment to the position that the Company has taken. Such adjustment could result in 
further  adjustment  to  one  or  more  income  tax  returns  for  other  jurisdictions,  or  to  income  tax  returns  for  prior  or 
subsequent tax years, or both. To the extent that the Company’s reserve for unrecognized tax benefits is not adequate 
to  support  the  cumulative  effect  of  such  adjustments,  the  Company  could  experience  a  material  adverse  impact  on 
operating results. The Company’s provision for income taxes is based on its effective tax rate, which in any given financial 
statement period could fluctuate based on changes in tax laws or regulations, changes in the mix and level of earnings 
by taxing jurisdiction, changes in the amount of certain expenses within the consolidated statements of income that will 
never be deductible on the Company’s income tax returns and certain charges deducted on the Company’s income tax 
returns that are not included within the consolidated statements of income. These changes could cause fluctuations in 

9 

  
  
  
   
  
  
  
the Company’s effective tax rate either on an absolute basis, or in relation to varying levels of the Company’s pre-tax 
income. Such fluctuations in the Company’s effective tax rate could adversely affect its results of operations. 

The Company’s ability to comply with its credit facility is subject to future performance and other factors. 

The Company’s ability to make required payments of principal and interest on its debts, to refinance its maturing 
indebtedness, to fund capital expenditures or to comply with its debt covenants will depend upon future performance. 
The Company’s future performance is, to a certain extent, subject to general economic, financial, competitive, legislative, 
regulatory and other factors beyond its control. The breach of any of the debt covenants could result in a default under 
the  Company’s  credit  facility.  Upon  the  occurrence  of  an  event  of  default,  the  Company’s  lender  could  make  an 
immediate demand of the amount outstanding under the credit facility. If a default was to occur and such a demand was 
to be made, there can be no assurance that the Company’s assets would be sufficient to repay the indebtedness in full. 

The Company’s debt covenants may affect its liquidity or limit its ability to pursue acquisitions, incur debt, make 
investments, sell assets or complete other significant transactions. 

             The  Company’s  credit  facility  contains  usual  and  customary  covenants  regarding  significant  transactions, 
including  restrictions  on  other  indebtedness,  liens,  transfers  of  assets,  investments  and  acquisitions,  merger  or 
consolidation transactions, transactions with affiliates and changes in or amendments to the organizational documents 
for the Company and its subsidiaries. Unless waived by the Company’s lender, these covenants could limit the Company’s 
ability  to  pursue  opportunities  to  expand  its  business  operations,  respond  to  changes  in  business  and  economic 
conditions and obtain additional financing, or otherwise engage in transactions that the Company considers beneficial. 

Government regulation of the Internet and e-commerce is evolving, and unfavorable changes or failure by the 
Company to adequately comply with new laws and regulations could substantially harm its results of operations. 

The Company is subject to laws and regulations governing the Internet and e-commerce. On June 21, 2018, the 
U.S. Supreme Court issued its decision in South Dakota v. Wayfair, Inc., et al. The Court held that a state may require a 
business to collect and remit sales taxes even if the business has no physical presence within the state. In response, most 
states have enacted laws or otherwise issued administrative guidance regarding their intent to require the collection and 
remittance  of  sales  tax  on  orders  of  products  that  are  made  through  the  Internet  and  are  subsequently  shipped  to 
customers within their states. The Company routinely makes shipments of its products into thousands of jurisdictions 
throughout the U.S. within which the Company does not have a physical presence. The Wayfair decision is central to an 
evolving  framework  of  laws  and  regulations  that  is  subject  to  interpretation  and  application  in  a  manner  that  is 
inconsistent from one jurisdiction to another. The Company cannot assure that its practices have complied, are currently 
complying, or will comply fully and adequately with all such laws and regulations. Any failure to comply with any of these 
laws or regulations could result in damage to the Company’s reputation or a loss or reduction of orders. As the Company 
complies  with  such  laws  and  regulations  by  charging,  collecting  and  remitting  sales  tax,  its  customers  will  see  an 
immediate and significant increase in the total order cost of the Company’s products as such taxes are imposed, which 
will make the pricing of the Company’s products less competitive when compared with a business that might not be 
required to charge, collect and remit sales taxes. Also, the Company’s application for registration for sales tax within a 
jurisdiction will often trigger obligations for other licensing and filing requirements within the jurisdiction. Compliance 
with such laws and regulations will place an additional burden on the Company by requiring a significant investment 
and continuing costs, as well as efforts of the Company’s key management personnel. Also, the Company at any time 
could be subjected to examinations by any of the jurisdictions into which the Company may have at one time or another 
shipped its products, which could result in the assessment on the Company of a significant accumulation of uncollected 
taxes, along with penalties and interest. The occurrence of any of these events could adversely affect the Company’s 
financial position and operating results. 

A stockholder could lose all or a portion of his or her investment in the Company. 

The Company’s common stock has historically experienced a degree of price variability, and the price could be 
subject to rapid and substantial fluctuations. The Company’s common stock has also historically been thinly traded, a 
circumstance that exists when there is a relatively small volume of buy and sell orders for the Company’s common stock 
at  any  given  point  in  time.  In  such  situations,  a  stockholder  may  be  unable  to  liquidate  his  or  her  position  in  the 
Company’s common stock at the desired price. Also, as an equity investment, a stockholder’s investment in the Company 

10 

  
  
  
  
   
  
  
  
is subordinate to the interests of the Company’s creditors, and a stockholder could lose all or a substantial portion of his 
or her investment in the Company in the event of a voluntary or involuntary bankruptcy filing or liquidation.

ITEM 3. Legal Proceedings 

The Company is, from time to time, involved in various legal proceedings relating to claims arising in the ordinary 
course of its business. Neither the Company nor any of its subsidiaries is a party to any such legal proceeding the outcome

Sales of $73.4 million for 2020 were $3.0 million lower than 2019, a decrease of 3.9%, primarily due to the timing 
of shipments to certain retailers as well as a program that was discontinued during the second quarter of 2020. Sales of 
bibs, bath, developmental toys, feeding, baby care and disposable products in the current year decreased by $360,000 
over the prior year, while sales of bedding, blankets and accessories in the current year decreased by $2.6 million. 

Gross Profit:  

Gross profit decreased by $717,000 and increased from 29.2% of net sales for 2019 to 29.4% of net sales for 2020. 

The decrease in amount is primarily due to lower sales in the current year. 

Marketing and Administrative Expenses: 

Marketing and administrative expenses decreased by $1.3 million for fiscal year 2020 compared with fiscal year 
2019, which included a decrease in the current year of $525,000 in overall compensation costs as compared to the prior 
year. In addition, charges in the current year for outside services and advertising decreased by $284,000 and $122,000, 
respectively,  as  compared  to  the  prior  year.  Finally,  the  prior  year  included  $210,000  in  charges  incurred  that  were 
associated with transferring most of the Sassy-branded developmental toy, feeding and baby care product line inventory 
from Grand Rapids, Michigan to the Company’s distribution facility in Compton, California.

Income Tax Expense: 

The  Company’s  provision  for  income  taxes  is  based  upon  an  annual  effective  tax  rate  (“ETR”)  on  continuing 

operations, which decreased from 24.4% during 2019 to 24.0% in 2020. 

Management evaluates items of income, deductions and credits reported on the Company’s various federal and 
state  income  tax  returns  filed  and  recognizes  the  effect of  positions  taken  on  those income  tax  returns  only  if  those 
positions are more likely than not to be sustained. The Company applies the provisions of accounting guidelines that 
require  a  minimum  recognition  threshold  that  a  tax  benefit  must  meet  before  being  recognized  in  the  financial 
statements. Recognized income tax positions are measured at the largest amount that has a greater than 50% likelihood 
of being realized. Changes in recognition or measurement are reflected in the period in which the change in judgment 
occurs. 

After  considering  all  relevant  information  regarding  the  calculation  of  the  state  portion  of  its  income  tax 
provision, the Company believes that the technical merits of the tax position that the Company has taken with respect 
to state apportionment percentages would more likely than not be sustained. However, the Company also realizes that 
the ultimate resolution of such tax position could result in a tax charge that is more than the amount realized based upon 
the application of the tax position taken. Therefore, the Company’s measurement regarding the tax impact of the revised 
state apportionment percentages resulted in the Company recording discrete reserves for unrecognized tax liabilities 
during fiscal years 2020 and 2019 of $58,000 and $87,000, respectively, in the accompanying consolidated statements of 
income. 

In December 2016, the Company was notified by the FTB of its intention to examine the Company’s claims for 
refund made in connection with amended consolidated income tax returns that the Company had filed for the fiscal 
years  ended  March  30,  2014,  March  31,  2013,  April  1,  2012  and  April  3,  2011.  On  July  31,  2019,  the  FTB  notified  the 
Company that it would take no further action with regard to the fiscal years ended March 31, 2013, April 1, 2012 and April 
3, 2011. In addition, on January 7, 2020, the Company’s California consolidated income tax return for the fiscal year ended 
March 29, 2015 became closed to examination or other adjustment. Accordingly, the Company reversed the reserves for 
unrecognized tax liabilities that it had previously recorded for these fiscal years, which resulted in the recognition of a 
discrete income tax benefit of $444,000 during the fiscal year ended March 29, 2020 in the accompanying consolidated 
statements of income. 

During the fiscal year ended March 29, 2020, the Company recorded a discrete income tax benefit of $274,000 
to reflect the aggregate effect of certain tax credits claimed on amended and original consolidated federal income tax 
returns. 

During the fiscal years ended March 29, 2020 and March 31, 2019, the Company recorded discrete income tax 
charges of $5,000 and $12,000, respectively, to reflect the effects of the excess tax benefits and tax shortfalls arising from 
the exercise of stock options and the vesting of non-vested stock during the periods. 

The  ETR  on  continuing  operations  and  the  discrete  income  tax  charges  and  benefits  discussed  above 

contributed to an overall provision for income taxes of 15.5% and 26.1% for fiscal years 2020 and 2019, respectively. 

Known Trends and Uncertainties 

The Company’s financial results are closely tied to sales to the Company’s top two customers, which represented 
approximately 62% of the Company’s gross sales in fiscal year 2020. A significant downturn experienced by any or all of 
these customers could lead to pressure on the Company’s revenues. 

During fiscal years 2020 and 2019, the Company at times faced higher costs associated with the  Company’s 
sourcing activities in China, including higher duties on some products. Future increases in these costs could adversely 
affect the profitability of the Company if it cannot pass the cost increases along to its customers in the form of price 
increases or if the timing of price increases does not closely match the cost increases.

The COVID-19 outbreak, and the government and private sector responses thereto, has negatively impacted 
certain of the Company’s customers who have been forced to temporarily close retail stores or have seen a significant 
decline in their sales. As a result, the Company experienced a decrease in sales to these customers beginning in March 
2020. This decrease, however, has been somewhat offset by higher sales to other customers and sales in other channels, 
such as e-commerce. The Company cannot predict with certainty when or if these customers will reopen their retail stores 
or if demand from consumers will return to the same level as it was prior to the COVID-19 outbreak. If the Company’s 
customers experience financial difficulties as a result of the COVID-19 outbreak, they may cause them to close their retail 
stores permanently, reduce orders, file for bankruptcy or liquidate, any of which may negatively impact the Company’s 
sales. 

In addition, beginning in February 2020 the Company experienced supply chain disruption because nearly all of 
the Company’s products are imported from China. While the Company’s product supply from Chinese manufacturers has 
begun to return to normal levels, the supply chain could again be disrupted if there is another outbreak of COVID-19 in 
China. As of May 18, 2020, the majority of the Company’s foreign suppliers have returned to full capacity. 

The Company continues to monitor the impact of the COVID-19 outbreak on its supply chain, manufacturing 
and  distribution  operations,  customers  and  employees,  as  well  as  the  U.S.  economy  in  general.  However,  due  to  the 
uncertainty as to when governmental restrictions on business will be fully lifted, the impact thereof, and the duration 
and widespread nature of the COVID-19 outbreak, the Company cannot currently predict the long-term impact on its 
operations  and  financial  results.  The  uncertainties  associated  with  the  COVID-19  outbreak  include  potential  adverse 
effects  on  the  overall  economy,  the  Company’s  supply  chain,  transportation  services,  employees  and  customers, 
consumer  sentiment  in  general,  and  traffic  within  the retail  stores  that  carry  the  Company’s  products.  The  COVID-19 
outbreak could adversely affect the Company’s revenues, earnings, liquidity and cash flows and may require significant 
actions in response, including employee furloughs, closings of Company facilities, expense reductions or discounts of the 
pricing of the Company’s products, all in an effort to mitigate such effects. 

For  an  additional  discussion  of  trends,  uncertainties  and  other  factors  that  could  impact  the  Company’s 

operating results, refer to “Risk Factors” in Item 1A. of Part I. of this Annual Report on Form 10-K. 

Financial Position, Liquidity and Capital Resources 

Net cash provided by operating activities decreased from $9.0 million for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2019 
to $8.5 million for the fiscal year ended March 29, 2020. In the current year, the Company experienced a decrease in its 
accounts payable balances that was $1.7 million higher than the increase in the prior year, an increase in its accounts 
receivable  balances  that  was  $757,000  higher  than  the  decrease  in  the  prior  year  and  a  decrease  in  its  reserve  for 
unrecognized tax liabilities that was $650,000 higher than the increase in the prior year. As offsets to these decreases in 
cash provided by operating activities, the Company in the current year experienced a decrease in its inventory balances 
that was $1.5 million higher than the decrease in the prior year and an increase its net income in the current year that 
was $1.5 million higher than in the prior year. 

Net cash used in investing activities was $678,000 in fiscal year 2020 compared with $751,000 in fiscal year 2019. 
The decrease in fiscal year 2020 was due primarily to lower payments in the current year for expenditures for property, 
plant and equipment. 

Net cash used in financing activities decreased from $8.3 million in fiscal 2019 to $7.7 million in fiscal 2019. In 
the current year, the Company experienced net repayments under its revolving line of credit that were $3.1 million lower 
than the prior year. Offsetting this decrease in cash used in financing activities were dividend payments that were $2.6 
million higher in the current year than the prior year, due primarily to the payment in the current year of a special dividend 
in the amount of $2.5 million. 

The Company’s future performance is, to a certain extent, subject to general economic, financial, competitive, 
legislative, regulatory and other factors beyond its control. Based upon the current level of operations, the Company 
believes that its cash flow from operations and the availability on its revolving line of credit will be adequate to meet its 
liquidity needs.

The  Company’s  credit  facility  at  March  29,  2020  consisted  of  a  revolving  line  of  credit  under  a  financing 
agreement with The CIT Group/Commercial Services, Inc. (“CIT”), a subsidiary of CIT Group Inc., of up to $26.0 million, 
which includes a $1.5 million sub-limit for letters of credit, bearing interest at the rate of prime minus 0.5% or LIBOR plus 
1.75%. The financing agreement matures on July 11, 2022 and is secured by a first lien on all assets of the Company. As 
of March 29, 2020, the Company had elected to pay interest on balances owed under the revolving line of credit under 
the LIBOR option, which was 3.27% as of March 29, 2020. The financing agreement also provides for the payment by CIT 
to the Company of interest at the rate of prime as of the beginning of the calendar month minus 2.0%, which was 2.75% 
as of March 29, 2020, on daily negative balances, if any, held at CIT. 

As of March 29, 2020, there was a balance of $2.6 million owed on the revolving line of credit, there was no letter 
of credit outstanding and $20.1 million was available under the revolving line of credit based on the Company’s eligible 
accounts  receivable  and  inventory  balances.  As  of  March  31,  2019,  there  was  a  balance  of  $4.5  million  owed  on  the 
revolving line of credit, there was no letter of credit outstanding and $19.4 million was available under the revolving line 
of credit based on the Company’s eligible accounts receivable and inventory balances. 

The  financing  agreement  contains  usual  and  customary  covenants  for  agreements  of  that  type,  including 
limitations  on  other  indebtedness,  liens,  transfers  of  assets,  investments  and  acquisitions,  merger  or  consolidation 
transactions,  transactions  with  affiliates,  and  changes  in  or  amendments  to  the  organizational  documents  for  the 
Company and its subsidiaries. The Company believes it was in compliance with these covenants as of March 29, 2020. 

To reduce its exposure to credit losses, the Company assigns the majority of its trade accounts receivable to CIT 
pursuant  to  factoring  agreements,  which  have  expiration  dates  that  are  coterminous  with  that  of  the  financing 
agreement  described  above.  Under  the  terms  of  the  factoring  agreements,  CIT  remits  customer  payments  to  the 
Company as such payments are received by CIT. 

CIT  bears  credit  losses  with  respect  to  assigned  accounts  receivable  from  approved  shipments,  while  the 
Company bears the responsibility for adjustments from customers related to returns, allowances, claims and discounts. 
CIT may at any time terminate or limit its approval of shipments to a particular customer. If such a termination or limitation 
occurs, the Company either assumes (and may seek to mitigate) the credit risk for shipments to the customer after the 
date of such termination or limitation or discontinues shipments to the customer. Factoring fees, which are included in 
marketing and administrative expenses in the accompanying consolidated statements of income, were $255,000 and 
$261,000 during fiscal years 2020 and 2019, respectively. There were no advances on the factoring agreements at March 
29, 2020 or March 31, 2019. 

The Company continues to monitor the impact of the COVID-19 outbreak on its supply chain, manufacturing 
and  distribution  operations,  customers  and  employees,  as  well  as  the  U.S.  economy  in  general.  However,  due  to  the 
uncertainty as to when governmental restrictions on business will be fully lifted, the impact thereof, and the duration 
and widespread nature of the COVID-19 outbreak, the Company cannot currently predict the long-term impact on its 
operations  and  financial  results.  The  uncertainties  associated  with  the  COVID-19  outbreak  include  potential  adverse 
effects  on  the  overall  economy,  the  Company’s  supply  chain,  transportation  services,  employees  and  customers, 
consumer  sentiment  in  general,  and  traffic  within  the retail  stores  that  carry  the  Company’s  products.  The  COVID-19 
outbreak could adversely affect the Company’s revenues, earnings, liquidity and cash flows and may require significant 
actions in response, including employee furloughs, closings of Company facilities, expense reductions or discounts of the 
pricing of the Company’s products, all in an effort to mitigate such effects. Conditions surrounding COVID-19 change 
rapidly, and additional impacts of which the Company is not currently aware may arise. Based on past performance and 
current expectations, the Company believes that its anticipated cash flow from operations, the proceeds from the PPP 
loan and the availability under its revolving line of credit are sufficient to fund the Company’s requirements for working 
capital, capital expenditures and debt service for at least the next 12 months. 

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates 

The Company prepares its financial statements to conform with accounting principles generally accepted in the 
U.S. (“GAAP”) as promulgated by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”). References herein to GAAP are to 
topics within the FASB Accounting Standards Codification (the “FASB ASC”), which the FASB periodically revises through 
the issuance of an Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) and which has been established by the FASB as the authoritative

Use of Estimates:      The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to 
make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent 
assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated balance sheets and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses 
during the reporting period. The listing below, while not inclusive of all of the Company's accounting policies, sets forth 
those accounting policies which the Company's management believes embody the most significant judgments due to 
the uncertainties affecting their application and the likelihood that materially different amounts would be reported under 
different conditions or using different assumptions. 

Revenue Recognition: Revenue is recognized upon the satisfaction of all contractual performance obligations and 
the  transfer  of  control  of  the  products  sold  to  the  customer.  The  majority  of  the  Company’s  sales  consists  of  single 
performance obligation arrangements for which the transaction price for a given product sold is equivalent to the price 
quoted for the product, net of any stated discounts applicable at a point in time. Each sales transaction results in an 
implicit contract with the customer to deliver a product as directed by the customer. Shipping and handling costs that 
are charged to customers are included in net sales, and the Company’s costs associated with shipping and handling 
activities are included in cost of products sold. 

A provision for anticipated returns, which are based upon historical returns and claims, is provided through a 
reduction of net sales and cost of products sold in the reporting period within which the related sales are recorded. Actual 
returns  and  claims  experienced  in  a  future  period  may  differ  from  historical  experience,  and  thus,  the  Company’s 
provision  for  anticipated  returns  at  any  given  point  in  time  may  be  over-funded  or  under-funded.  The  Company 
recognizes revenue associated with unredeemed store credits and gift certificates at the earlier of their redemption by 
customers, their expiration or when their likelihood of redemption becomes remote, which is generally two years from 
the date of issuance. 

Revenue from sales made directly to consumers is recorded when the shipped products have been received by 
customers, and excludes sales taxes collected on behalf of governmental entities. Revenue from sales made to retailers 
is recorded when legal title has been passed to the customer based upon the terms of the customer’s purchase order, 
the Company’s sales invoice, or other associated relevant documents. Such terms usually stipulate that legal title will pass 
when the shipped products are no longer under the control of the Company, such as when the products are picked up 
at the Company’s facility by the customer or by a common carrier. Payment terms can vary from prepayment for sales 
made directly to consumers to payment due in arrears (generally, 60 days of being invoiced) for sales made to retailers. 

Allowances Against Accounts Receivable:     Revenue from sales made to retailers is reported net of allowances for 
anticipated  returns  and  other  allowances,  including  cooperative  advertising  allowances,  warehouse  allowances, 
placement fees, volume rebates, coupons and discounts. Such allowances are recorded commensurate with sales activity 
or using the straight-line method, as appropriate, and the cost of such allowances is netted against sales in reporting the 
results of operations. The provision for the majority of the Company’s allowances occurs on a per-invoice basis. When a 
customer requests to have an agreed-upon deduction applied against the customer’s outstanding balance due to the 
Company, the allowances are correspondingly reduced to reflect such payments or credits issued against the customer’s 
account  balance.  The  Company  analyzes  the  components  of  the  allowances  for  customer  deductions  monthly  and 
adjusts the allowances to the appropriate levels. The timing of funding requests for advertising support can cause the 
net balance in the allowance account to fluctuate from period to period. The timing of such funding requests should 
have no impact on the consolidated statements of income since such costs are accrued commensurate with sales activity 
or using the straight-line method, as appropriate. 

Valuation of Long-Lived Assets and Identifiable Intangible Assets: In addition to the systematic annual depreciation 
and amortization of the Company’s fixed assets and identifiable intangible assets, the Company reviews for impairment 
long-lived  assets  and  identifiable  intangible  assets  whenever  events  or  changes  in  circumstances  indicate  that  the 
carrying amount of any asset may not be recoverable. In the event of impairment, the asset is written down to its fair 
market  value.  Assets  to  be  disposed  of,  if  any,  are  recorded  at  the  lower  of  net  book  value  or  fair  market  value,  less 
estimated costs to sell at the date management commits to a plan of disposal, and are classified as assets held for sale on 
the consolidated balance sheets. 

Inventory Valuation: On a periodic basis, management reviews its inventory quantities on hand for obsolescence, 
physical deterioration, changes in price levels and the existence of quantities on hand which may not reasonably be 
expected to be sold within the Company’s normal operating cycle. To the extent that any of these conditions is believed 
to exist or the market value of the inventory expected to be realized in the ordinary course of business is otherwise no 

17 

  
  
   
  
  
  
longer  as  great  as  its  carrying  value,  an  allowance  against  the  inventory  value  is  established.  To  the  extent  that  this 
allowance is established or increased during an accounting period, an expense is recorded in cost of products sold in the 
Company's consolidated statements of income. Only when inventory for which an allowance has been established is later 
sold or is otherwise disposed is the allowance reduced accordingly. Significant management judgment is required in 
determining  the  amount  and  adequacy  of  this  allowance.  In  the  event  that  actual  results  differ  from  management's 
estimates or these estimates and judgments are revised in future periods, the Company may not fully realize the carrying 
value  of  its  inventory  or  may  need  to  establish  additional  allowances,  either  of  which  could  materially  impact  the 
Company's financial position and results of operations.

Disclosure Controls and Procedures 

Disclosure  controls  and  procedures  are  designed  to  ensure  that  information  required  to  be  disclosed  in  the 
reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time 
period 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 in the reports filed under the Exchange Act is 
accumulated and communicated to management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as 
appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. As of the end of the period covered by this report, 
the Company carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of the Company’s management, 
including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the 
Company’s disclosure controls and procedures. Based upon and as of the date of that evaluation, the Chief Executive 
Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures are effective. 

Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting 

The Company’s management is responsible for establishing and maintaining for the Company adequate internal 
control over financial reporting, as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act (“ICFR”). 
With  the  participation  of  the  Chief  Executive  Officer  and  the  Chief  Financial  Officer,  management  conducted  an 
evaluation  of  the  effectiveness  of  internal  control  over  financial  reporting  based  on  the  framework  and  the  criteria 
established in Internal Control — Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of 
the Treadway Commission. Based on management’s evaluation of ICFR, management has concluded that internal control 
over financial reporting was effective as of March 29, 2020. 

The Company’s internal control system has been designed to provide reasonable assurance to the Company’s 
management and the Board regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation and fair presentation of 
financial statements in accordance with GAAP. All internal control systems, no matter how well designed, have inherent 
limitations. Therefore, even those systems determined to be effective can provide only a reasonable, rather than absolute, 
assurance that the Company’s financial statements are free of any material misstatement, whether caused by error or 
fraud. 

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting 

The  Company’s  management,  with  the  participation  of  the  Company’s  Chief  Executive  Officer  and  Chief 
Financial Officer, conducted an evaluation of the Company’s ICFR as required by Rule 13a-15(d) under the Exchange Act 
and,  in  connection  with  such  evaluation,  determined  that  no  changes  occurred  during  the  Company’s  fiscal  quarter 
ended March 29, 2020 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s ICFR.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm 

To the Shareholders and Board of Directors 
Crown Crafts, Inc.: 

Opinion on the Consolidated Financial Statements 

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Crown Crafts, Inc. and subsidiaries (the Company) as 
of March 29, 2020 and March 31, 2019, the related consolidated statements of income, changes in shareholders’ equity, 
and cash flows for each of the years in the two-year period ended March 29, 2020, and the related notes and financial 
statement  schedule  II  (collectively,  the  consolidated  financial  statements).  In  our  opinion,  the  consolidated  financial 
statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of March 29, 2020 and March 
31, 2019, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the years in the two-year period ended March 29, 
2020, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. 

Change in Accounting Principle 

As discussed in Note 4 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company changed its method of accounting for 
leases as of April 1, 2019, due to the adoption of Accounting Standards Codification Topic 842, Leases. 

Basis for Opinion 

These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to 
express an opinion on these consolidated 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  consolidated  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  control  over  financial  reporting.  As  part  of  our  audits,  we  are  required  to  obtain  an 
understanding  of  internal  control  over  financial  reporting  but  not  for  the  purpose  of  expressing  an  opinion  on  the 
effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. 

Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated 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  consolidated  financial 
statements.  Our  audits  also  included  evaluating  the  accounting  principles  used  and  significant  estimates  made  by 
management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the consolidated financial statements. We believe that our 
audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion. 

/s/ KPMG LLP 

We have served as the Company’s auditor since 2009.

Crown Crafts, Inc. and Subsidiaries 
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements 

Note 1 – Description of Business  

Crown  Crafts,  Inc.  (the  “Company”)  was  originally  formed  as  a  Georgia  corporation  in  1957  and  was 
reincorporated  as  a  Delaware  corporation  in  2003.  The  Company  operates  indirectly  through  its  wholly-owned 
subsidiaries,  NoJo  Baby  &  Kids,  Inc.  (formerly  known  as  Crown  Crafts  Infant  Products,  Inc.)  (“NoJo”),  Sassy  Baby,  Inc. 
(formerly known as Hamco, Inc.) (“Sassy Baby”) and Carousel Designs, LLC (“Carousel”) in the infant, toddler and juvenile 
products segment within the consumer products industry. The infant, toddler and juvenile products segment consists of 
infant  and  toddler  bedding  and  blankets,  bibs,  soft  bath  products,  disposable  products,  developmental  toys  and 
accessories. Sales of the Company’s products are generally made directly to retailers, which are primarily mass merchants, 
mid-tier retailers, juvenile specialty stores, value channel stores, grocery and drug stores, restaurants, wholesale clubs 
and internet-based retailers, as well as directly to consumers through www.babybedding.com. The Company’s products 
are marketed under a variety of Company-owned trademarks, under trademarks licensed from others and as private label 
goods. 

Note 2 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies 

Basis of Presentation: The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company 
and have been prepared pursuant to accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. (“GAAP”) as promulgated by 
the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”). References herein to GAAP are to topics within the FASB Accounting 
Standards  Codification  (the  “FASB  ASC”),  which  the  FASB  periodically  revises  through  the  issuance  of  an  Accounting 
Standards Update (“ASU”) and which has been established by the FASB as the authoritative source for GAAP recognized 
by the FASB to be applied by nongovernmental entities. 

Reclassifications: The Company has classified certain prior year information to conform to the amounts presented 
in  the  current  year.  None  of  the  changes  impact  the  Company’s  previously  reported  financial  position  or  results  of 
operations. 

Fiscal Year: The Company's fiscal year ends on the Sunday nearest to or on March 31. References herein to “fiscal 
year 2020” or “2020” represent the 52-week period ended March 29, 2020 and references to “fiscal year 2019” or “2019” 
represent the 52-week period ended March 31, 2019. 

Use of Estimates: The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make 
estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets 
and liabilities as of the date of the consolidated balance sheets and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses 
during the periods presented on the consolidated statements of income and cash flows. Significant estimates are made 
with  respect  to  the  allowances  related  to  accounts  receivable  for  customer  deductions  for  returns,  allowances  and 
disputes. The Company also has a certain amount of discontinued finished goods which necessitates the establishment 
of inventory reserves that are highly subjective. Actual results could differ materially from those estimates. 

Cash and Cash Equivalents: The Company’s credit facility consists of a revolving line of credit under a financing 
agreement with The CIT Group/Commercial Services, Inc. (“CIT”), a subsidiary of CIT Group Inc. The Company classifies a 
negative  balance  outstanding  under  this  revolving  line  of  credit  as  cash,  as  these  amounts  are  legally  owed  to  the 
Company  and  are  immediately  available  to  be  drawn  upon  by  the  Company.  There  are  no  compensating  balance 
requirements or other restrictions on the transfer of amounts associated with the Company’s depository accounts. 

Financial Instruments: For short-term instruments such as cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable and 

accounts payable, the Company uses carrying value as a reasonable estimate of fair value.

Segments and Related Information: The Company operates primarily in one principal segment, infant and toddler 
products.  These  products  consist  of  infant  and  toddler  bedding,  bibs,  soft  bath  products,  disposable  products, 
developmental and bath toys and accessories. Net sales of bedding, blankets and accessories and net sales of bibs, bath 
and disposable products for fiscal years ended March 29, 2020 and March 31, 2019 are as follows (in thousands):

Revenue Recognition: Revenue is recognized upon the satisfaction of all contractual performance obligations and 
the  transfer  of  control  of  the  products  sold  to  the  customer.  The  majority  of  the  Company’s  sales  consists  of  single 
performance obligation arrangements for which the transaction price for a given product sold is equivalent to the price 
quoted for the product, net of any stated discounts applicable at a point in time. Each sales transaction results in an 
implicit contract with the customer to deliver a product as directed by the customer. Shipping and handling costs that 
are charged to customers are included in net sales, and the Company’s costs associated with shipping and handling 
activities are included in cost of products sold. 

A provision for anticipated returns, which are based upon historical returns and claims, is provided through a 
reduction of net sales and cost of products sold in the reporting period within which the related sales are recorded. Actual 
returns  and  claims  experienced  in  a  future  period  may  differ  from  historical  experience,  and  thus,  the  Company’s 
provision for anticipated returns at any given point in time may be over-funded or under-funded. 

The Company recognizes revenue associated with unredeemed store credits and gift certificates at the earlier of 
their  redemption  by  customers,  their  expiration  or  when  their  likelihood  of  redemption  becomes  remote,  which  is 
generally two years from the date of issuance. Revenue from sales made directly to consumers is recorded when the 
shipped  products  have  been  received  by  customers,  and  excludes  sales  taxes  collected  on  behalf  of  governmental 
entities. Revenue from sales made to retailers is recorded when legal title has been passed to the customer based upon 
the terms of the customer’s purchase order, the Company’s sales invoice, or other associated relevant documents. Such 
terms  usually  stipulate  that  legal  title  will  pass  when  the  shipped  products  are  no  longer  under  the  control  of  the 
Company, such as when the products are picked up at the Company’s facility by the customer or by a common carrier. 
Payment terms can vary from prepayment for sales made directly to consumers to payment due in arrears (generally, 60 
days of being invoiced) for sales made to retailers. 

Allowances Against Accounts Receivable:     Revenue from sales made to retailers is reported net of allowances for 
anticipated  returns  and  other  allowances,  including  cooperative  advertising  allowances,  warehouse  allowances, 
placement fees, volume rebates, coupons and discounts. Such allowances are recorded commensurate with sales activity 
or using the straight-line method, as appropriate, and the cost of such allowances is netted against sales in reporting the 
results of operations. The provision for the majority of the Company’s allowances occurs on a per-invoice basis. When a 
customer requests to have an agreed-upon deduction applied against the customer’s outstanding balance due to the 
Company, the allowances are correspondingly reduced to reflect such payments or credits issued against the customer’s 
account  balance.  The  Company  analyzes  the  components  of  the  allowances  for  customer  deductions  monthly  and 
adjusts the allowances to the appropriate levels. The timing of funding requests for advertising support can cause the 
net balance in the allowance account to fluctuate from period to period. The timing of such funding requests should 
have no impact on the consolidated statements of income since such costs are accrued commensurate with sales activity 
or using the straight-line method, as appropriate. 

Uncollectible Accounts:     To reduce the exposure to credit losses and to enhance the predictability of its cash 
flows, the Company assigns the majority of its receivables under factoring agreements with CIT. In the event a factored 
receivable becomes uncollectible due to creditworthiness, CIT bears the risk of loss. The Company recognizes revenue 
net of the amount that is expected to be uncollectible on accounts receivable, if any, that are not assigned under the 
factoring agreements with CIT. The Company’s management makes estimates of the uncollectiblity of its non-factored 
accounts  receivable  by  specifically  analyzing  the  accounts  receivable,  historical  bad  debts,  customer  concentrations, 
customer creditworthiness, current economic trends and changes in its customers’ payment terms.

Credit Concentration: The Company’s accounts receivable at March 29, 2020 amounted to $17.8 million, net of 
allowances of $530,000. Of this amount, $17.1 million was due from CIT under the factoring agreements, which amount 
represents the maximum loss that the Company could incur if CIT failed completely to perform its obligations under the 
factoring  agreements.  The  Company’s  accounts  receivable  at  March  31,  2019  amounted  to  $17.8  million,  net  of 
allowances of $407,000. Of this amount, $17.3 million was due from CIT under the factoring agreements, which amount 
represented the maximum loss that the Company could have incurred if CIT failed completely to perform its obligations 
under the factoring agreements. 

Other Accrued Liabilities:      An amount of $352,000 was recorded as other accrued liabilities as of March 29, 2020. 
Of this amount, $155,000 reflected unearned revenue recorded for payments from customers that were received before 
the  products  ordered  were  received  by  the  customers.  Other  accrued  liabilities  as  of  March  29,  2020  also  includes  a 
reserve for customer returns of $16,000 and unredeemed store credits and gift certificates totaling $8,000. An amount of 
$483,000 was recorded as other accrued liabilities as of March 31, 2019. Of this amount, $241,000 reflected unearned 
revenue recorded for payments from customers that were received before the products ordered were received by the 
customers.  Other  accrued  liabilities  as  of  March  31,  2019  also  included  a  reserve  for  customer  returns  of  $6,000  and 
unredeemed store credits and gift certificates totaling $19,000. 

Inventory Valuation: The preparation of the Company's financial statements requires careful determination of 
the  appropriate  value  of  the  Company's  inventory  balances.  Such  amounts  are  presented  as  a  current  asset  in  the 
accompanying consolidated balance sheets and are a direct determinant of cost of products sold in the accompanying 
consolidated statements of income and, therefore, have a significant impact on the amount of net income reported in 
the accounting periods. The basis of accounting for inventories is cost, which includes the direct supplier acquisition cost, 
duties, taxes and freight, and the indirect costs to design, develop, source and store the product until it is sold. Once cost 
has  been  determined,  the  Company’s  inventory  is  then  stated  at  the  lower  of  cost  or  net  realizable  value,  with  cost 
determined using the first-in, first-out ("FIFO") method, which assumes that inventory quantities are sold in the order in 
which they are acquired, and the average cost method for a portion of the Company’s inventory. 

The determination of the indirect charges and their allocation to the Company's finished goods inventories is 
complex and requires significant management judgment and estimates. If management made different judgments or 
utilized  different  estimates,  then  differences  would  result  in  the  valuation  of  the  Company's  inventories  and  in  the 
amount and timing of the Company's cost of products sold and the resulting net income for the reporting period. 

On  a  periodic  basis,  management  reviews  its  inventory  quantities  on  hand  for  obsolescence,  physical 
deterioration, changes in price levels and the existence of quantities on hand which may not reasonably be expected to 
be sold within the Company’s normal operating cycle. To the extent that any of these conditions is believed to exist or 
the market value of the inventory expected to be realized in the ordinary course of business is otherwise no longer as 
great as its carrying value, an allowance against the inventory value is established. To the extent that this allowance is 
established or increased during an accounting period, an expense is recorded in cost of products sold in the Company's 
consolidated statements of income. Only when inventory for which an allowance has been established is later sold or is 
otherwise disposed is the allowance reduced accordingly. Significant management judgment is required in determining 
the amount and adequacy of this allowance. In the event that actual results differ from management's estimates or these 
estimates  and  judgments  are  revised  in  future  periods,  the  Company  may  not  fully  realize  the  carrying  value  of  its 
inventory  or  may  need  to  establish  additional  allowances,  either  of  which  could  materially  impact  the  Company's 
financial position and results of operations. 

Royalty Payments: The  Company  has  entered  into  agreements  that  provide  for  royalty  payments  based  on  a 
percentage  of  sales  with  certain  minimum  guaranteed  amounts.  These  royalty  amounts  are  accrued  based  upon 
historical sales rates adjusted for current sales trends by customers. Royalty expense is included in cost of products sold 
in the accompanying consolidated statements of income and amounted to $4.9 million and $5.2 million for fiscal years 
2020 and 2019, respectively. 

Depreciation  and  Amortization:  The  accompanying  consolidated  balance  sheets  reflect  property,  plant  and 
equipment, and certain intangible assets at cost less accumulated depreciation or amortization. The Company capitalizes 
additions  and  improvements  and  expenses  maintenance  and  repairs  as  incurred.  Depreciation  and  amortization  are 
computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets, which are three to eight years for 
property,  plant  and  equipment,  and  five  to  twenty  years  for  intangible  assets  other  than  goodwill.  The  Company 

F-8 

  
   
  
  
  
  
amortizes  improvements  to  its  leased  facilities  over  the  term  of  the  lease  or  the  estimated  useful  life  of  the  asset, 
whichever is shorter. 

Valuation of Long-Lived Assets and Identifiable Intangible Assets: In addition to the depreciation and amortization 
procedures set forth above, the Company reviews for impairment long-lived assets and certain identifiable intangible 
assets  whenever  events  or  changes  in  circumstances  indicate  that  the  carrying  amount  of  any  asset  may  not  be 
recoverable. In the event of impairment, the asset is written down to its fair market value. 

Patent Costs: The Company incurs certain legal and related costs in connection with patent applications. The 
Company capitalizes such costs to be amortized over the expected life of the patent to the extent that an economic 
benefit is anticipated from the resulting patent or an alternative future use is available to the Company. The Company 
also capitalizes legal and other costs incurred in the protection or defense of the Company’s patents when it is believed 
that the future economic benefit of the patent will be maintained or increased and a successful defense is probable. 
Capitalized patent defense costs are amortized over the remaining expected life of the related patent. The Company’s 
assessment  of  future  economic  benefit  of  its  patents  involves  considerable  management  judgment,  and  a  different 
conclusion could result in a material impairment charge up to the carrying value of these assets. 

Leases:     The Company capitalizes most of its operating lease obligations as right-of-use assets and recognizes 
corresponding liabilities. The Company elects to use the practical expedient that permits the Company to exclude short-
term  agreements  of  less  than  12  months  from  capitalization.  The  Company  is  a  party  to  various  operating  leases  for 
offices, warehousing facilities and certain office equipment. The leases expire at various dates, have varying options to 
renew  and  cancel,  and  may  contain  escalation  provisions.  The  Company  recognizes  as  expense  non-variable  lease 
payments ratably  over  the  lease  term.  The  key estimates  for  the Company’s  leases  include  the discount  rate used  to 
discount the unpaid lease payment to present value and the lease term. The Company’s leases generally do not include 
a readily determinable implicit rate; therefore, management determined the incremental borrowing rate to discount the 
lease payment based on the information available at lease commencement. For purposes of such estimates, a lease term 
includes the noncancellable period under the applicable lease. 

Provision for Income Taxes: The Company’s provision for income taxes includes all currently payable federal, state, 
local  and  foreign  taxes  and  is  based  upon the  Company’s  estimated  annual  effective  tax  rate,  which  is  based on  the 
Company’s forecasted annual pre-tax income, as adjusted for certain expenses within the consolidated statements of 
income that will never be deductible on the Company’s tax returns and certain charges expected to be deducted on the 
Company’s tax returns that will never be deducted on the consolidated statements of income, multiplied by the statutory 
tax rates for the various jurisdictions in which the Company operates and reduced by certain anticipated tax credits. 

The Company files income tax returns in the many jurisdictions in which it operates, including the U.S., several 
U.S. states and the People’s Republic of China. The statute of limitations varies by jurisdiction; tax years open to federal 
or state audit or other adjustment as of March 29, 2020 were the tax years ended March 29, 2020, March 31, 2019, April 
1, 2018, April 2, 2017, April 3, 2016, March 29, 2015 and March 30, 2014. 

Management evaluates items of income, deductions and credits reported on the Company’s various federal and 
state  income  tax  returns  filed  and  recognizes  the  effect of  positions  taken  on  those income  tax  returns  only  if  those 
positions are more likely than not to be sustained. The Company applies the provisions of accounting guidelines that 
require  a  minimum  recognition  threshold  that  a  tax  benefit  must  meet  before  being  recognized  in  the  financial 
statements. Recognized income tax positions are measured at the largest amount that has a greater than 50% likelihood 
of being realized. Changes in recognition or measurement are reflected in the period in which the change in judgment 
occurs. 

After  considering  all  relevant  information  regarding  the  calculation  of  the  state  portion  of  its  income  tax 
provision, the Company believes that the technical merits of the tax position that the Company has taken with respect 
to state apportionment percentages would more likely than not be sustained. However, the Company also realizes that 
the ultimate resolution of such tax position could result in a tax charge that is more than the amount realized based upon 
the application of the tax position taken. Therefore, the Company’s measurement regarding the tax impact of the revised 
state apportionment percentages resulted in the Company recording discrete reserves for unrecognized tax liabilities 
during fiscal years 2020 and 2019 of $58,000 and $87,000, respectively, in the accompanying consolidated statements of 
income. 

F-9 

  
  
  
   
  
  
  
  
The Company’s policy is to accrue interest expense and penalties as appropriate on any estimated unrecognized 
tax liabilities as a charge to interest expense in the Company’s consolidated statements of income. During fiscal years 
2020  and  2019,  the  Company  accrued  $76,000  and  $90,000,  respectively,  for  interest  expense  and  penalties  on  the 
portion of the unrecognized tax liabilities that has been refunded to the Company but for which the relevant statute of 
limitations remained unexpired. No interest expense or penalties are accrued with respect to estimated unrecognized 
tax liabilities that are associated with state income tax overpayments that remain receivable. 

In December 2016, the Company was notified by the Franchise Tax Board of the State of California (the “FTB”) of 
its intention to examine the Company’s claims for refund made in connection with amended consolidated income tax 
returns that the Company had filed for the fiscal years ended March 30, 2014, March 31, 2013, April 1, 2012 and April 3, 
2011. On July 31, 2019, the FTB notified the Company that it would take no further action with regard to the fiscal years 
ended  March  31,  2013,  April  1,  2012  and  April  3,  2011.  In  addition,  on  January  7,  2020,  the  Company’s  California 
consolidated  income  tax  return  for  the  fiscal  year  ended  March  29,  2015  became  closed  to  examination  or  other 
adjustment.  Accordingly,  the  Company  reversed  the  reserves  for  unrecognized  tax  liabilities  that  it  had  previously 
recorded for these fiscal years, which resulted in the recognition of a discrete income tax benefit of $444,000 during the 
fiscal year ended March 29, 2020 in the accompanying consolidated statements of income. The Company also reversed 
the interest expense and penalties that it had accrued in respect of the unrecognized tax liabilities for these fiscal years, 
which resulted in the recognition of a credit to interest expense of $163,000 during the fiscal year ended March 29, 2020. 

As  of  April  20,  2020,  the  status  of  the  Company’s  claim  for  refund  made  in  connection  with  the  amended 
consolidated income tax return that the Company filed for the fiscal year ended March 30, 2014 was not resolved. The 
ultimate resolution of this claim for refund could include administrative or legal proceedings. Although management 
believes that the calculations and positions taken on the amended consolidated income tax return and all other filed 
income  tax  returns  are  reasonable  and  justifiable,  the  outcome  of  this  or  any  other  examination  could  result  in  an 
adjustment  to  the  position  that  the  Company  took  on  such  income  tax  returns.  Such  adjustment  could  also  lead  to 
adjustments to one or more other state income tax returns, or to income tax returns for subsequent fiscal years, or both. 
To the extent that the Company’s reserve for unrecognized tax liabilities is not adequate to support the cumulative effect 
of  such  adjustments,  the  Company  could  experience  a  material  adverse  impact  on  its  future  results  of  operations. 
Conversely, to the extent that the calculations and positions taken by the Company on the filed income tax returns under 
examination are sustained, another reversal of all or a portion of the Company’s reserve for unrecognized tax liabilities 
could result in a favorable impact on its future results of operations. 

During the fiscal year ended March 29, 2020, the Company recorded a discrete income tax benefit of $274,000 
to reflect the aggregate effect of certain tax credits claimed on amended and original consolidated federal income tax 
returns. 

During the fiscal years ended March 29, 2020 and March 31, 2019, the Company recorded discrete income tax 
charges of $5,000 and $12,000, respectively, to reflect the effects of the excess tax benefits and tax shortfalls arising from 
the exercise of stock options and the vesting of non-vested stock during the periods. 

Advertising  Costs:  The  Company’s  advertising  costs  are  primarily  associated  with  cooperative  advertising 
arrangements with certain of the Company’s customers and are recognized using the straight-line method based upon 
aggregate  annual  estimated  amounts  for  these  customers,  with  periodic  adjustments  to  the  actual  amounts  of 
authorized  agreements.  Costs  associated  with  advertising  on  websites  such  as  Facebook  and  Google  and  which  are 
associated  with  the  Company’s  online  business  are  recorded  as  incurred.  Advertising  expense  is  included  in  other 
marketing and administrative expenses in the consolidated statements of income and amounted to $1.1 million and $1.3 
million for fiscal years 2020 and 2019, respectively. 

Earnings Per Share: The Company calculates basic earnings per share by using a weighted average of the number 
of shares outstanding during the reporting periods. Diluted shares outstanding are calculated in accordance with the 
treasury stock method, which assumes that the proceeds from the exercise of all exercisable options would be used to 
repurchase shares at market value. The net number of shares issued after the exercise proceeds are exhausted represents 
the potentially dilutive effect of the exercisable options, which are added to basic shares to arrive at diluted shares. 

Recently-Issued Accounting Standards: On February 25, 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842), 
which was intended to increase transparency and comparability by requiring an entity to recognize lease assets and lease 
liabilities on its balance sheet and by requiring the disclosure of key information about its leasing arrangements. Upon 

F-10 

  
  
  
   
  
  
  
adoption, the Company was required under the provisions of ASU No. 2016-02 to capitalize most of its current operating 
lease obligations as right-of-use assets with corresponding liabilities based upon the present value of the future cash 
outflows associated with such operating lease obligations. The ASU was required to be adopted effective for the first 
interim period of the fiscal year beginning after December 15, 2018. 

When issued, ASU No. 2016-02 was to have been applied using a modified retrospective approach, but on July 
30, 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-11, Leases (Topic 842): Targeted Improvements, which allowed for an alternative 
optional transition method with which to adopt ASU No. 2016-02. Upon adoption, in lieu of the modified retrospective 
approach,  an  entity  was  allowed  to  recognize  a  cumulative-effect  adjustment  to  the  opening  balance  of  retained 
earnings in the period of adoption. 

Although early adoption of ASU No. 2016-02 (as modified by ASU No. 2018-11) was permitted, the Company 
adopted  the  ASU  effective  as  of  April  1,  2019.  ASU  No.  2016-02  contains  a  number  of  optional  practical  expedients 
available to be used in transition. The Company elected to use the “package of practical expedients,” which permitted 
the Company to avoid a reassessment of prior conclusions about lease identification, lease classification and initial direct 
costs.  The  Company  also  elected  to  use  the  practical  expedient  that  permits  the  Company  to  exclude  short-term 
agreements of less than 12 months from capitalization. The Company used the modified retrospective approach upon 
the adoption of ASU No. 2016-02, which resulted in the recognition by the Company of operating lease liabilities and 
corresponding  right-of-use  assets  of  $1.9  million  based  on  the  present  value  of  the  then-remaining  minimum  rental 
payments under the Company’s operating leases. 

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of 
Credit Losses on Financial Instruments, the objective of which is to provide financial statement users with more information 
about the expected credit losses on financial instruments and other commitments to extend credit held by an entity. 
Current GAAP requires an “incurred loss” methodology for recognizing credit losses that delays recognition until it is 
probable that a loss has been incurred. Because this methodology restricted the recognition of credit losses that are 
expected, but did not yet meet the “probable” threshold, ASU No. 2016-13 was issued to require the consideration of a 
broader range of reasonable and supportable information when determining estimates of credit losses. 

ASU No. 2016-13 is to be applied using a modified retrospective approach, and the ASU could have been early-
adopted in the fiscal year that began after December 15, 2018. When issued, ASU No. 2016-13 was required to be adopted 
no later than the fiscal year beginning after December 15, 2019, but on November 15, 2019, the FASB issued ASU No. 
2019-10,  Financial  Instruments  –  Credit  Losses  (Topic  326),  Derivatives  and  Hedging  (Topic  815),  and  Leases  (Topic  842): 
Effective Dates, which provided for the deferral of the effective date of ASU No. 2016-13 for registrants that are a smaller 
reporting  company  to  the  first  interim  period  of  the  fiscal  year  beginning  after  December  15, 2022.  Accordingly,  the 
Company intends to adopt ASU No. 2016-13 effective as of April 3, 2023. Although the Company has not determined the 
full  impact  of  the  adoption  of  ASU  No.  2016-13,  because  the  Company  assigns  the  majority  of  its  trade  accounts 
receivable under factoring agreements with CIT, the Company does not believe that the adoption of the ASU will have a 
significant impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations and related disclosures. 

The Company has determined that all other ASU’s issued which had become effective as of April 20, 2020, or 
which  will  become  effective  at  some  future  date,  are  not  expected  to  have  a  material  impact  on  the  Company’s 
consolidated financial statements. 

Note 3 - Financing Arrangements 

Factoring Agreements: To  reduce  its  exposure  to  credit losses,  The  Company  assigns  the  majority  of  its  trade 
accounts receivable to CIT pursuant to factoring agreements, which have expiration dates that are coterminous with that 
of  the  financing  agreement  described  below.  Under  the  terms  of  the  factoring  agreements,  CIT  remits  customer 
payments to the Company as such payments are received by CIT. 

CIT  bears  credit  losses  with  respect  to  assigned  accounts  receivable  from  approved  shipments,  while  the 
Company bears the responsibility for adjustments from customers related to returns, allowances, claims and discounts. 
CIT may at any time terminate or limit its approval of shipments to a particular customer. If such a termination or limitation 
occurs, the Company either assumes (and may seek to mitigate) the credit risk for shipments to the customer after the 
date of such termination or limitation or discontinues shipments to the customer. Factoring fees, which are included in 

F-11 

  
  
  
  
  
   
  
  
  
marketing and administrative expenses in the accompanying consolidated statements of income, were $255,000 and 
$261,000 during fiscal years 2020 and 2019, respectively. There were no advances on the factoring agreements at March 
29, 2020 or March 31, 2019. 

Credit Facility: The Company’s credit facility at March 29, 2020 consisted of a revolving line of credit under a 
financing agreement with CIT of up to $26.0 million, which includes a $1.5 million sub-limit for letters of credit, bearing 
interest at the rate of prime minus 0.5% or LIBOR plus 1.75%. The financing agreement matures on July 11, 2022 and is 
secured by a first lien on all  assets  of the Company. At March 29, 2020, the Company had elected to pay interest on 
balances owed under the revolving line of credit under the LIBOR option, which was 3.27% as of March 29, 2020. The 
financing  agreement  also  provides  for  the  payment  by CIT  to  the Company  of  interest  at  the  rate  of  prime  as of  the 
beginning of the calendar month minus 2.0%, which was 2.75% as of March 29, 2020, on daily negative balances, if any, 
held by CIT. 

As of March 29, 2020, there was a balance of $2.6 million owed on the revolving line of credit, there was no letter 
of credit outstanding and $20.1 million was available under the revolving line of credit based on the Company’s eligible 
accounts  receivable  and  inventory  balances.  As  of  March  31,  2019,  there  was  a  balance  of  $4.5  million  owed  on  the 
revolving line of credit, there was no letter of credit outstanding and $19.4 million was available under the revolving line 
of credit based on the Company’s eligible accounts receivable and inventory balances. 

The  financing  agreement  contains  usual  and  customary  covenants  for  agreements  of  that  type,  including 
limitations  on  other  indebtedness,  liens,  transfers  of  assets,  investments  and  acquisitions,  merger  or  consolidation 
transactions,  transactions  with  affiliates,  and  changes  in  or  amendments  to  the  organizational  documents  for  the 
Company and its subsidiaries. The Company believes it was in compliance with these covenants as of March 29, 2020. 

Note 4 – Leases 

Effective as of April 1, 2019, the Company commenced its initial application of the provisions of FASB ASC Topic 
842, Leases (“Topic 842”), under which the Company has capitalized most of its current operating lease obligations as 
right-of-use assets and recognized corresponding liabilities. The Company has used a modified retrospective transition 
approach permitted by Topic 842.  The Company elected to use the “package of practical expedients,” which permitted 
the Company to avoid a reassessment of prior conclusions about lease identification, lease classification and initial direct 
costs. The Company also elected the practical expedient that permitted the Company to exclude short-term agreements 
of less than 12 months from capitalization. 

In its initial application of Topic 842, the Company recognized operating lease liabilities and corresponding right-
of-use  assets of  $1.9  million  based  on  the  present  value  of  the  then-remaining  minimum  rental  payments  under  the 
Company’s  operating  leases.  In  addition  to  the  recognition  of  operating  lease  liabilities  and  right-of-use  assets,  the 
Company also reclassified its deferred rent liability as of April 1, 2019 of $99,000 as an offset to the amount of its initial 
operating lease right-of-use assets.  The Company was not required to recognize a cumulative-effect adjustment to the 
opening balance of the Company’s retained earnings as a result of the initial application of Topic 842. 

The  Company  is  a  party  to  various  operating  leases  for  offices,  warehousing  facilities  and  certain  office 
equipment. The leases expire at various dates, have varying options to renew and cancel, and may contain escalation 
provisions.  The  Company  recognizes  as  expense  non-variable  lease  payments  ratably  over  the  lease  term.  The  key 
estimates for the Company’s leases include the discount rate used to discount the unpaid lease payment to present value 
and  the  lease  term.  The  Company’s  leases  generally  do  not  include  a  readily  determinable  implicit  rate;  therefore, 
management  determined  the  incremental  borrowing  rate  to  discount  the  lease  payment  based  on  the  information 
available at lease commencement. For purposes of such estimates, a lease term includes the noncancellable period under 
the applicable lease. 

Subsequent  to  the  Company’s  recognition  of  operating  lease  liabilities  of  $1.9  million  on  April  1,  2019,  the 
Company made cash payments related to its recognized operating leases of $1.4 million during the fiscal year ended 
March 29, 2020. Such payments reduced the operating lease liabilities and were included in the cash flows provided by 
operating activities in the accompanying consolidated statements of cash flows.

Note 5 – Retirement Plan 

The Company sponsors a defined contribution retirement savings plan with a cash or deferred arrangement (the 
“401(k) Plan”), as provided by Section 401(k) of the Internal Revenue Code (“Code”). The 401(k) Plan covers substantially 
all employees, who may elect to contribute a portion of their compensation to the 401(k) Plan, subject to maximum 
amounts and percentages as prescribed in the Code. Each calendar year, the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Board”) 
determines the portion, if any, of employee contributions that will be matched by the Company. For calendar years 2020, 
2019  and  2018,  the  Board  established  the  employer  matching  contributions  at  100%  of  the  first  2%  of  employee 
contributions and 50% of the next 3% of employee contributions to the 401(k) Plan. If an employee separates from the 
Company prior to the full vesting of the funds in their account, then the unvested portion of the matching employer 
amount in their account is forfeited when the employee receives a distribution from their account. The Company utilizes 
such forfeitures as an offset to the aggregate matching contributions. The Company's matching contributions to the 
401(k) Plan, net of the utilization of forfeitures, were $291,000 and $284,000 for fiscal years 2020 and 2019, respectively. 

Note 6 – Goodwill, Customer Relationships and Other Intangible Assets 

Goodwill:  Goodwill  represents  the  excess  of  the  purchase  price  over  the  fair  value  of  net  identifiable  assets 
acquired in business combinations. For the purpose of presenting and measuring for the impairment of goodwill, the 
Company has two reporting units: one that produces and markets infant and toddler bedding, blankets and accessories 
and another that produces and markets infant and toddler bibs, developmental toys, bath care and disposable products. 
The goodwill of the reporting units of the Company as of March 29, 2020 and March 31, 2019 amounted to $30.0 million, 
which is reflected in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets net of accumulated impairment charges of $22.9 
million, for a net reported balance of $7.1 million. 

F-13 

  
  
  
       
  
  
  
       
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
   
The Company measures for impairment the goodwill within its reporting units annually as of the first day of the 
Company’s fiscal year. An additional interim measurement for impairment is performed during the year whenever an 
event or change in circumstances occurs that suggests that the fair value of either of the reporting units of the Company 
has more likely than not (defined as having a likelihood of greater than 50%) fallen below its carrying value. The annual 
or interim measurement for impairment is performed by first assessing qualitative factors to determine whether it is more 
likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount. If such qualitative factors so indicate, 
then the measurement for impairment is continued by calculating an estimate of the fair value of each reporting unit and 
comparing the estimated fair value to the carrying value of the reporting unit. If the carrying value exceeds the estimated 
fair value of the reporting unit, then an impairment charge is calculated as the difference between the carrying value of 
the reporting unit and its estimated fair value, not to exceed the goodwill of the reporting unit. 

On  April  1,  2019,  the  Company  performed  the  annual  measurement  for  impairment  of  the  goodwill  of  its 
reporting units and concluded that the estimated fair value of each of the Company’s reporting units exceeded their 
carrying values, and thus the goodwill of the Company’s reporting units was not impaired as of that date. 

Other Intangible Assets: Other intangible assets as of March 29, 2020 and March 31, 2019 consisted primarily of 
the fair value of identifiable assets acquired in business combinations other than tangible assets and goodwill. The gross 
amount and accumulated amortization of the Company’s other intangible assets as of March 29, 2020 and March 31,

Note 8 – Stock-based Compensation 

The Company has two incentive stock plans, the 2006 Omnibus Incentive Plan (the “2006 Plan”) and the 2014 
Omnibus Equity Compensation Plan (the “2014 Plan”). As a result of the approval of the 2014 Plan by the Company’s 
stockholders at the Company’s 2014 annual meeting, grants may no longer be issued under the 2006 Plan. 

The Company believes that awards of long-term, equity-based incentive compensation will attract and retain 
directors, officers and employees of the Company and will encourage these individuals to contribute to the successful 
performance of the Company, which will lead to the achievement of the Company’s overall goal of increasing stockholder 
value. Awards granted under the 2014 Plan may be in the form of incentive stock options, non-qualified stock options, 
shares of restricted or unrestricted stock, stock units, stock appreciation rights, or other stock-based awards. Awards may 
be granted subject to the achievement of performance goals or other conditions, and certain awards may be payable in 
stock or cash, or a combination of the two. The 2014 Plan is administered by the Compensation Committee of the Board, 
which  selects  eligible  employees,  non-employee  directors  and  other  individuals  to  participate  in  the  2014  Plan  and 
determines the type, amount, duration (such duration not to exceed a term of ten (10) years for grants of options) and 
other terms of individual awards. At March 29, 2020, 440,000 shares of the Company’s common stock were available for 
future  issuance  under  the  2014  Plan,  which  may  be  issued  from  authorized  and  unissued  shares  of  the  Company’s 
common stock or treasury shares. 

Stock-based compensation is calculated according to FASB ASC Topic 718, Compensation – Stock Compensation, 
which requires stock-based compensation to be accounted for using a fair-value-based measurement. During fiscal years 
2020 and 2019, the Company recorded $297,000 and $377,000 of stock-based compensation, respectively. The Company 
records  the  compensation  expense  associated  with  stock-based  awards  granted  to  individuals  in  the  same  expense 
classifications  as  the  cash  compensation  paid  to  those  same  individuals.  No  stock-based  compensation  costs  were 
capitalized as part of the cost of an asset as of March 29, 2020.

As of March 29, 2020, none of the outstanding or exercisable stock options held any intrinsic value. The Company 
did not receive any cash from the exercise of stock options during fiscal year 2020. Upon the exercise of stock options, 
participants may choose to surrender to the Company those shares from the option exercise necessary to satisfy the 
exercise amount and their income tax withholding obligations that arise from the option exercise. The effect on the cash 
flow of the Company from these “cashless” option exercises is that the Company remits cash on behalf of the participant 
to  satisfy  his  or  her  income  tax  withholding  obligations.  The  Company  used  cash  to  remit  the  required  income  tax 
withholding amounts from “cashless” option exercises of $3,000 during fiscal year 2020. There were no stock options 
exercised  during  fiscal  year  2019.  As  of  March  31,  2019,  the  intrinsic  value  of  the  outstanding  and  exercisable  stock 
options was each $2,000.

As of March 29, 2020, total unrecognized stock-option compensation costs amounted to $37,000, which will be 
recognized as the underlying stock options vest over a weighted-average period of 6.9 months. The amount of future 
stock-option compensation expense could be affected by any future stock option grants and by the separation from the 
Company of any employee or director who has stock options that are unvested as of such individual’s separation date. 

Non-vested Stock Granted to Non-Employee Directors: The Board granted the following shares of non-vested stock

These shares vest over a two-year period, assuming continued service. The fair value of non-vested stock granted 
to the Company’s non-employee directors was based on the closing price of the Company’s common stock on the date 
of each grant. In each of August 2019 and 2018, 28,000 shares that had been granted to the Company’s non-employee 
directors vested, having an aggregate value of $135,000 and $151,000, respectively. 

Non-vested  Stock  Granted  to  Employees:     On  January  18,  2019,  upon  the  appointment  of  Donna  Sheridan  to 
serve as the President and Chief Executive Officer of NoJo, the Board granted 25,000 shares of non-vested stock to Ms. 
Sheridan. These shares will vest on January 18, 2021, assuming continued service. The fair value of the non-vested stock 
granted to Ms. Sheridan is $5.86 per share, which was based on the closing price of the Company’s common stock on the 
date of the grant. 

Performance Bonus Plan:     The Company maintains a performance bonus plan for certain executive officers that 
provides for awards of cash or shares of common stock in the event that the aggregate average market value of the 
common stock during the relevant fiscal year, plus the amount of cash dividends paid in respect of the common stock 
during such period, increases.  These individuals may instead be awarded cash, if and to the extent that an insufficient 
number  of  shares  of  common  stock  are  available  for  issuance  from  all  shareholder-approved,  equity-based  plans  or 
programs of the Company in effect. The performance bonus plan also imposes individual limits on awards and provides 
that  shares  of  common  stock  that  may  be  awarded  will  vest  over  a  two-year  period.  Thus,  compensation  expense 
associated with performance bonus plan awards are recognized over a three-year period – the fiscal year in which the 
award is earned, plus the two-year vesting period. 

No  shares  were  granted  in  fiscal  years  2020  or  2019  in  connection  with  the  performance  bonus  plan.  The 
Company recorded compensation expense during fiscal year 2019 of $116,000 related to shares granted in fiscal year 
2018 that were earned in fiscal year 2017.

In  assessing  the  probability  that  the  Company’s  deferred  tax  assets  will  be  realized,  management  of  the 
Company has considered 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 taxable income during the 
future  periods  in  which  the  temporary  differences  giving  rise  to  the  deferred  tax  assets  will  become  deductible.  The 
Company has also considered the scheduled inclusion into taxable income in future periods of the temporary differences 
giving rise to the Company’s deferred tax liabilities. The valuation allowance as of March 29, 2020 and March 31, 2019 
was related to state net operating loss carryforwards that the Company does not expect to be realized. Based upon the 
Company’s expectations of the generation of sufficient taxable income during future periods, the Company believes that 
it is more likely than not that the Company will realize its deferred tax assets, net of the valuation allowance and the 
deferred tax liabilities. 

Management evaluates items of income, deductions and credits reported on the Company’s various federal and 
state  income  tax  returns  filed  and  recognizes  the  effect of  positions  taken  on  those income  tax  returns  only  if  those 
positions are more likely than not to be sustained. The Company applies the provisions of accounting guidelines that 
require  a  minimum  recognition  threshold  that  a  tax  benefit  must  meet  before  being  recognized  in  the  financial 
statements. Recognized income tax positions are measured at the largest amount that has a greater than 50% likelihood 
of being realized. Changes in recognition or measurement are reflected in the period in which the change in judgment 
occurs.

After  considering  all  relevant  information  regarding  the  calculation  of  the  state  portion  of  its  income  tax 
provision, the Company believes that the technical merits of the tax position that the Company has taken with respect 
to state apportionment percentages would more likely than not be sustained. However, the Company also realizes that 
the ultimate resolution of such tax position could result in a tax charge that is more than the amount realized based upon 
the application of the tax position taken. Therefore, the Company’s measurement regarding the tax impact of the revised 
state apportionment percentages resulted in the Company recording discrete reserves for unrecognized tax liabilities 
during fiscal years 2020 and 2019 of $58,000 and $87,000, respectively, in the accompanying consolidated statements of 
income. 

The Company’s policy is to accrue interest expense and penalties as appropriate on any estimated unrecognized 
tax liabilities as a charge to interest expense in the Company’s consolidated statements of income. During fiscal years 
2020  and  2019,  the  Company  accrued  $76,000  and  $90,000,  respectively,  for  interest  expense  and  penalties  on  the 
portion of the unrecognized tax liabilities that has been refunded to the Company but for which the relevant statute of 
limitations remained unexpired. No interest expense or penalties are accrued with respect to estimated unrecognized 
tax liabilities that are associated with state income tax overpayments that remain receivable. 

In December 2016, the Company was notified by the FTB of its intention to examine the Company’s claims for 
refund made in connection with amended consolidated income tax returns that the Company had filed for the fiscal 
years  ended  March  30,  2014,  March  31,  2013,  April  1,  2012  and  April  3,  2011.  On  July  31,  2019,  the  FTB  notified  the 
Company that it would take no further action with regard to the fiscal years ended March 31, 2013, April 1, 2012 and April 
3, 2011. In addition, on January 7, 2020, the Company’s California consolidated income tax return for the fiscal year ended 
March 29, 2015 became closed to examination or other adjustment. Accordingly, the Company reversed the reserves for 
unrecognized tax liabilities that it had previously recorded for these fiscal years, which resulted in the recognition of a 
discrete income tax benefit of $444,000 during the fiscal year ended March 29, 2020 in the accompanying consolidated 
statements of income. The Company also reversed the interest expense and penalties that it had accrued in respect of 
the unrecognized tax liabilities for these fiscal years, which resulted in the recognition of a credit to interest expense of 
$163,000 during the fiscal year ended March 29, 2020. 

As  of  April  20,  2020,  the  status  of  the  Company’s  claim  for  refund  made  in  connection  with  the  amended 
consolidated income tax return that the Company filed for the fiscal year ended March 30, 2014 was not resolved. The 
ultimate resolution of this claim for refund could include administrative or legal proceedings. Although management 
believes that the calculations and positions taken on the amended consolidated income tax return and all other filed 
income  tax  returns  are  reasonable  and  justifiable,  the  outcome  of  this  or  any  other  examination  could  result  in  an 
adjustment  to  the  position  that  the  Company  took  on  such  income  tax  returns.  Such  adjustment  could  also  lead  to 
adjustments to one or more other state income tax returns, or to income tax returns for subsequent fiscal years, or both. 
To the extent that the Company’s reserve for unrecognized tax liabilities is not adequate to support the cumulative effect 
of  such  adjustments,  the  Company  could  experience  a  material  adverse  impact  on  its  future  results  of  operations. 
Conversely, to the extent that the calculations and positions taken by the Company on the filed income tax returns under 
examination are sustained, another reversal of all or a portion of the Company’s reserve for unrecognized tax liabilities 
could result in a favorable impact on its future results of operations.

During the fiscal year ended March 29, 2020, the Company recorded a discrete income tax benefit of $274,000 
to reflect the aggregate effect of certain tax credits claimed on amended and original consolidated federal income tax 
returns. 

During the fiscal years ended March 29, 2020 and March 31, 2019, the Company recorded discrete income tax 
charges of $5,000 and $12,000, respectively, to reflect the effects of the excess tax benefits and tax shortfalls arising from 
the exercise of stock options and the vesting of non-vested stock during the periods. 

The Company's provision for income taxes is based upon effective tax rates of 15.5% and 26.1% in fiscal years 
2020 and 2019, respectively. These effective tax rates are the sum of the top U.S. statutory federal income tax rate and a 
composite rate for state income taxes, net of federal tax benefit, in the various states in which the Company operates, 
plus the net effect of various discrete items. 

The following table reconciles income tax expense on income from continuing operations at the U.S. federal 

income tax statutory rate to the net income tax provision reported for fiscal years 2020 and 2019 (in thousands):

Dividends: The holders of shares of the Company’s common stock are entitled to receive dividends when and as 
declared by the Board. Aggregate cash dividends of $0.57 and $0.32 per share, amounting to $5.8 million and $3.2 million, 
were declared during fiscal years 2020 and 2019, respectively. Cash dividends declared during fiscal year 2020 included

Company of cash dividends on its common stock without limitation, provided there is no default before or as a result of 
the payment of such dividends. 

Stock Repurchases: The Company acquired treasury shares by way of the surrender to the Company from several 
employees shares of common stock to satisfy the income tax withholding obligations relating to the vesting of stock. In 
this manner, the Company acquired 12,000 treasury shares during the fiscal year ended March 29, 2020 at a weighted-
average market value of $6.63 per share and acquired 16,000 treasury shares during the fiscal year ended March 31, 2019

Note 12 – Commitments and Contingencies 

Total royalty expense amounted to $4.9 million and $5.2 million for fiscal years 2020 and 2019, respectively. The 
Company’s commitment for minimum guaranteed royalty payments under its license agreements as of March 29, 2020 
is $4.2 million, consisting of $2.6 million, $1.6 million and $8,000 due in fiscal years 2021, 2022 and 2023, respectively. 

The Company is, from time to time, involved in various legal proceedings relating to claims arising in the ordinary 
course of its business. Neither the Company nor any of its subsidiaries is a party to any such legal proceeding the outcome 
of  which,  individually  or  in  the  aggregate,  is  expected  to  have  a  material  adverse  effect  on  the  Company’s  financial 
position, results of operations or cash flows. 

Note 13 – Subsequent Events 

In  late  January  2020,  the  Company began  to  monitor  the  global  effects  of  “COVID-19,”  an  infectious  disease 
caused by Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2 (SARS CoV-2) that was first detected in November 2019 in 
the city of Wuhan, China. 

On March 27, 2020, President Trump signed the Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security (the “CARES Act”), 
which,  among  other  things,  outlines  the  provisions  of  the  Paycheck  Protection  Program  (the  “PPP”).  The  Company 
determined that it met the criteria to be eligible to obtain a loan under the PPP because, among other reasons, in light of 
COVID-19 outbreak and the uncertainty of economic conditions related thereto, the loan was necessary to support the 
Company’s ongoing operations. Under the PPP, the Company could obtain a U.S. Small Business Administration loan in 
an amount equal to the average of the Company’s monthly payroll costs (as defined under the PPP) for calendar 2019 
multiplied by 2.5 (approximately 10 weeks of payroll costs). Section 1106 of the CARES Act contains provisions for the 
forgiveness of all or a portion of a PPP loan, subject to the satisfaction of certain requirements.  The amount eligible for 
forgiveness  is,  subject  to  certain  limitations,  the  sum  of  the  Company’s  payroll  costs,  rent  and  utilities  paid  by  the 
Company during the eight-week period beginning on the funding date of the PPP loan. 

On April 19, 2020, the Company closed on a PPP loan in the amount of $1,963,800, which was funded on April 
20,  2020  and  which  was  transferred  by  the  Company  into  an  account  dedicated  to  allowable  uses  of  the  PPP  loan 
proceeds. 

The  Company  has  evaluated  events  that  have  occurred  between  March  29,  2020  and  the  date  that  the 
accompanying financial statements were issued, and has determined that there are no other material subsequent events 
that require disclosure.

This year I celebrated my 25th anniversary with Crown 

Crafts. As I look back on these years, I am amazed by 

all of our accomplishments. I took over as President 

and Chief Executive Officer in 2001 as the Company 

was transforming from an adult bedding and home 

furnishings manufacturer to focusing solely on infant 

and juvenile consumer products. Some of the highlights 

of my tenure with the Company that I am very proud 

of are the retirement of a tremendous amount of debt, 

the consummation of several key acquisitions, the 

Company’s listing on Nasdaq, the resumption of dividend 

payments, and most importantly, consistent profitability.
