Note that all dollar amounts in Part I are in thousands of U.S. dollars unless otherwise noted. PART I Item 1. Business Overview We are an infant and juvenile products company originally founded in 1985 and have publicly traded on the Nasdaq Stock Market since 2007 under the symbol ‘‘SUMR.’’ We are a leader in product innovation in the juvenile industry, providing parents and caregivers a full range of high-quality, high-value products to care for babies and toddlers. We seek to improve the quality of life of parents, caregivers, and babies through our product offerings, while at the same time maximizing shareholder value over the long term. We operate in one principal industry segment across geographically diverse marketplaces, selling our products globally to large, national retailers as well as independent retailers, and on our partner’s websites and our own summerinfant.com website. In North America, our customers include Amazon.com, Wal-Mart, Babies R Us, Target, Buy Buy Baby, Home Depot, and Lowe’s. Our largest European-based customers are Argos, Amazon, Toys R Us, and Mothercare. We also sell through international distributors, representatives, and to select international retail customers in geographic locations where we do not have a direct sales presence. We estimate the size of the juvenile products market to be $25.5 billion worldwide, with consumers focusing on quality, safety, innovation, and style. We believe we are positioned to capitalize on positive market trends in the juvenile products industry. Strategic Priorities We aim to be a leading global juvenile products company that provides a full range of innovative, high-quality, high-value products that meet the demands of parents and caregivers. As we enter 2018, our focus is on developing and launching new products while sustaining our core range of products, building our brands, strengthening our key customer relationships and supporting a roadmap for sustainable growth in 2018 and beyond. Our management team will continue to execute on the key strategic priorities that we believe will fuel our future growth: (cid:127) Continuously strive for differentiated innovation. We continuously seek to create differentiated, innovative products that appeal to consumers who increasingly demand high-quality, long-lasting, products that make family life easier, safer, and more fun. We pride ourselves as leaders of innovation within the juvenile products industry. We strive to deliver innovation in various ways based upon product category. We endeavor to provide simple design innovation in potties, innovative convenience features in bath and strollers, new technology in our baby video monitors, and innovative, safe-sleep solutions within our SwaddleMe(cid:3) branded product line. Our new Baby Pixel(cid:5) 5.0 Inch Touchscreen Color Video Monitor features a pioneering, patent- pending new technology, SleepZone(cid:5) Virtual Boundary, that senses baby’s movement and alerts parents when the safety boundary is breached. In 2017, we also introduced a new bath product that we believe is the only one of its kind in the market, the My Bath Seat(cid:5), which provides a helping hand to parents at bath time. (cid:127) Increase brand awareness and digital marketing. In 2018, we expect to take a digital-first approach to marketing communications and brand development. We have begun implementing online marketing, marketing automation, social publishing/listening, and digital analytics tools to allow us to communicate more effectively with consumers of our products and understand what 3 is important to them. We will focus our brand marketing efforts with a consistent, integrated communications plan to amplify our message, maximize marketing investments, which we expect to help drive sales. In addition, we also will renew our focus on online merchandising to drive conversion rates both in-store and online, as a majority of consumers research products online before buying—either at retail or through ecommerce. (cid:127) Operational efficiencies. We continue to refine our operating model as we bring more focus to our strategic priorities. These initiatives include SKU rationalization, warehouse efficiency, doing more direct import business as we emphasize core growth categories, and evaluating the level of drop ship partnerships going forward. We also expect to continue to improve our analytic and forecasting capabilities, product development process, and management of working capital in 2018. (cid:127) Maintain and grow our partnerships. We have strong partnerships with our suppliers in the U.S. and Asia. We believe that our flexibility to develop products that are consumer preferred and cost-efficient gives us a competitive advantage in meeting our customer demands. We have long-standing relationships with our brick and mortar and our e-commerce retail customers in the U.S. We value these relationships and will continue to focus on strengthening them to increase our presence in stores and online. We continue to develop our relationships outside the U.S. to expand our business internationally. We have focused our efforts on growing our European, Canadian and Asian market presence by expanding our customer base and establishing new distributor relationships. We see our international business as having significant potential for growth and expansion. By focusing on these key strategic priorities, we expect to drive future sales growth, improve profitability and return on capital, and further develop and strengthen our relationships with our suppliers, our customers and the consumers who use our products. Products We currently market over 1,100 products in several product categories including monitoring, safety, nursery, baby gear, and feeding products. We market our core products, under our Summer Infant(cid:3), SwaddleMe(cid:3), and Born Free(cid:3) brand names. No single product generated more than 10% of sales for the fiscal year ended December 30, 2017 (‘‘fiscal 2017’’). Anchor products in our product categories include the following: Monitoring Video Audio Prenatal Monitoring Safety Gates Bath Potties Boosters Positioners Nursery Baby Gear Feeding Products Swaddle Travel Accessories Safe Sleep Soothers Sleep Aides Strollers Bassinets High Chairs Playards Bottles Drinking Cups Bibs & Placemats Feeding Accessories Pacifiers Our monitors were first introduced in 2001 and are distinguished by ease of use, and innovative features. Currently, we offer audio and video monitors, and a new wearable audio monitor marketed under the Summer Infant(cid:3) brand. Our monitors have led the way in innovation within the category and feature high-quality components, intended to fulfill the desire for consumers to connect with baby at any time or place. In fiscal 2017, we launched a new line of baby video monitors that introduced innovative features while including quality improvements in picture quality, battery life, and range. We expect to gain incremental shelf space with additional, new innovative monitors, including the just-launched Baby Pixel(cid:5) with patent-pending new technology, SleepZone(cid:5) Virtual Boundary. 4 Safety Our safety line encompasses gates, bedrails, baby proofing, potties, bath, positioners, boosters, and infant health. We believe that we are a North American market leader in the gate category, with a product range of over 30 gates. Our line of gates offer versatility that covers use in home, ease of installation, and aesthetically pleasing designs. In fiscal 2017, we introduced a new line of gates that are on trend with home d´ecor such as the new Rustic Home, Modern Home, and Classic Home designs. In 2018, we expect to continue with a strategy of marrying high-quality safety gates with home d´ecor, and have received positive feedback from retailers as we expand our portfolio. Our My Size(cid:5) Potty continues to be a best seller for major retailers nationwide. To capitalize on its success, we expect to develop a new range of My Size(cid:5) Potty products to offer consumers more options and obtain incremental placements with our retail customers. We first entered the infant bathing category in 2002, and we have continued to create innovative and safe solutions for bathing. In fiscal 2017, we launched our redesigned Lil’ Luxuries(cid:3) Whirlpool and Spa platforms, which continue to be a favorite with caregivers. Nursery Our nursery line includes our core brand of SwaddleMe(cid:3) wearable blankets as well as our expanded line of safe sleep products such as sleep aides and soothers. Acquired in 2008, SwaddleMe(cid:3) continues to be a trusted brand synonymous with infant safe sleep. In fiscal 2017, we introduced the By Your Bed Sleeper, a raised bassinet with an incline option that fits snug alongside parent’s bed. We also introduced an innovative, in-bed sleep solution, the By Your Bed Within Reach Sleeper. Baby Gear Our 3Dlite(cid:3) Convenience Stroller continues to be a favorite among parents. We have continued to expand our 3D line of lightweight, affordable, feature rich strollers. In fiscal 2017, we introduced the 3Dtote(cid:3), a full-featured stroller with an extra-large storage basket, plus pockets and loops for storing baby supplies, which received positive reviews. In 2018, we expect to introduce new compact and lightweight offerings, including the3Dpac(cid:5), which takes the features of a full-size stroller, and packs it into a compact package, and the lightweight 3Dmini(cid:5), offering convenience for parents on-the-go. Our Pop ‘n Play(cid:5) Portable Playard, first introduced in fiscal 2014, has proved to be popular with parents and grandparents alike, and we expanded the platform to include a portable booster, high chair and entertainer under the sub-brand POP (portable on-the-go products) (cid:5). In 2018, we plan to expand and refresh these products and offer them at a variety of price points and retailers. Feeding products Our feeding products include bibs, placemats, bottles, drinking cups, pacifiers and other feeding accessories that help families during mealtime. Product Development and Design Innovation drives our product development, a critical element of our strategy. We strive to produce proprietary products that offer distinctive benefits, are visually appealing, and provide safe, thoughtful solutions to the consumer. Our retail customers are strategically motivated to buy innovative products to provide differentiation from their competitors. We design the majority of our products at our Rhode Island headquarters, leveraging our internal product development teams. We also have development efforts in our China and United Kingdom offices, and when appropriate, may partner with manufacturers in Asia on product development. In 5 addition to new product development, we continuously look for ways to improve upon existing products based on consumer insights, with a strong focus on the end-user experience and product safety. We engage in market research and test marketing to evaluate consumer reactions to our products, both pre- and post-production. Our product development team and sales force are essential in researching consumer buying trends and analyzing information from retail stores, customer surveys, focus groups, on-line surveys, industry experts and vendor recommendations. We continually evaluate our products to determine whether they should be upgraded, modified, or replaced. Suppliers and Manufacturing The majority of our products are manufactured in Asia (primarily China). We also use several manufacturers in the United States for certain injection-molded products, including bath tubs, potty seats and booster seats. We are not dependent on any one supplier as we use many different manufacturers and own the tooling and molds used for our products. Our Hong Kong subsidiary provides us with an Asian sourcing presence and the ability to oversee quality, electronic engineering and other issues that may arise during production. Generally, we buy finished goods from manufacturers, and thus do not directly procure raw materials for product manufacturing. Historically, we have not experienced any significant disruption of supply as a result of raw material shortages or other manufacturing factors, but there is the possibility that shortages could occur in the future based on a variety of factors beyond our control. Asian-made goods are shipped on the water to our warehouses, which typically takes four weeks. We also utilize a direct import program, to reduce costs and shipping time to certain customers. We maintain inventory in warehouses located in the United States, Canada, and the United Kingdom. Most of our customers pick up their goods at our warehouses. We also deliver shipments direct to customers for sales from our own website and our consumer replacements program as well as for other smaller retail partners that request such arrangements. Sales and Marketing Our products are largely marketed and sold through our own direct global sales force. We have also established a strong network of independent manufacturers’ representatives and distributors to provide sales and customer service support for retail customers in North American and international sales. Beginning in 2018 we implemented a three-year plan to support growth of direct-to-consumer sales, which we believe will also increase overall brand awareness. Sales are recognized upon transfer of title to our customers and are made utilizing standard credit terms of 30 to 60 days. We generally accept returns only for defective merchandise. Marketing, promotion and consumer engagement are key elements in the juvenile products industry. Historically, a significant percentage of our promotional spending has been structured in coordination with our large retail partners. In fiscal 2018, we expect to focus our marketing efforts on growing brand awareness among our consumer demographic, maximizing marketing investment, and executing an integrated marketing strategy. We believe an important component of our future growth is based on speaking to the right customer, with the right content, on the right channel, at the right time. We have begun implementing online marketing, social media, and digital analytics tools, which should allow us to better measure the performance of our marketing activities, learn from our consumers, and receive valuable insights into industry and competitor activities. Customer service is a critical component of our marketing strategy. We maintain an internal customer service department that responds to customer inquiries, investigates and resolves issues, and is available to assist customers and consumers during business hours. In fiscal 2017, we made improvements in our consumer care online through the implementation of digital tools that allow us to 6 deliver timely responses to every conversation, reaction or question. In 2018, we will focus on implementing a strategic plan to further improve customer service through a variety of tools and training. Competition The juvenile product industry has many participants, none of which has dominant market share, though certain companies may have disproportionate strength in specific product categories. We compete with a number of different companies in a variety of categories, although there is no single company that competes with us across all of our product categories. Our largest direct competitors are Motorola(cid:3) (a licensed brand of Binatone Communications Group), Munchkin(cid:3), GB(cid:3) (Goodbaby International Holdings, Ltd.), Graco(cid:3) (a subsidiary of Newell Rubbermaid), Chicco(cid:3), Fisher-Price(cid:3) (a subsidiary of Mattel, Inc.), Vtech(cid:3), and Aden & Anais(cid:3). The primary method of competition in the industry consists of brand positioning, product innovation, quality, price, and timely distribution. Our competitive strengths include our ability to develop innovative new products, speed to market, our relationships with major retailers, and the quality and pricing of our products. Intellectual Property We rely on a combination of patents, licenses and trade secrets to protect our intellectual property. Our current U.S. patents include various design features related to safety gates, bouncers, bathers, and monitors with several other patents under review by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO). The issued patents expire at various times during the next 17 years. In certain circumstances, we will partner with third parties to develop proprietary products, and, where appropriate, we have license agreements related to the use of third-party technology in our products. Customers Sales to the Company’s top seven customers together comprised approximately 77% of our sales in fiscal 2017 and 75% of our sales in fiscal 2016. Of these customers, four generated more than 10% of sales for fiscal 2017: Amazon.com (25%), Babies R Us/Toys R Us (17%), Walmart (16%), and Target (11%). In fiscal 2016, four customers generated more than 10% of sales: Amazon.com (20%), Babies R Us/Toys R Us (20%), Walmart (15%), and Target (11%). We have no long-term contracts with these customers, and as a result, our success depends heavily on our customers’ willingness to purchase and provide shelf space for our products. Seasonality We do not experience significant variations in seasonal demand for our products. However, we expect to generate higher than average volumes for the initial shipment of new products which typically includes enough inventory to fill each store plus additional amounts to be kept at the customer’s distribution center. The timing of these initial shipments varies by customer depending on when they finalize store layouts for the upcoming year and whether there are any mid-year product introductions. Geographic Regions North America accounted for approximately 90% and 92% of our total net sales in fiscal 2017 and fiscal 2016, respectively. We maintain sales, marketing, and distribution offices in Canada and England, which services the United Kingdom and other parts of Europe. We also maintain a product development, engineering and quality assurance office in Hong Kong. 7 Regulatory Matters Each of our products is designed to comply with all applicable mandatory and voluntary safety standards. In the United States, these safety standards are promulgated by federal, state and independent agencies such as the US Consumer Product Safety Commission, ASTM, the Federal Communications Commission, the Food and Drug Administration, the Federal Trade Commission, and various states Attorney Generals and state regulatory agencies. All of our products are independently tested by third party laboratories accepted by the Consumer Product Safety Commission, to verify compliance to applicable safety standards. A similar approach is used to design and test products sold internationally. Insurance We carry product liability insurance that provides us with $15 million coverage with a minimal deductible. We consult with our insurers to ascertain appropriate liability coverage for our product mix. We believe our current coverage is adequate for our existing business and will continue to evaluate our coverage in the future in line with our expanding sales and product breadth. Employees As of December 30, 2017, we had 201 employees, 193 of whom were full time employees, and 100 of whom work in our headquarters. Available Information The Company is incorporated under the laws of the State of Delaware. Our principal executive offices are located at 1275 Park East Drive, Woonsocket, Rhode Island 02895, and our telephone number is (401) 671 6550. We maintain our corporate website at www.summerinfant.com and we make available, free of charge, through this website our annual report on Form 10-K, quarterly reports on Form 10-Q, current reports on Form 8-K, and amendments to those reports that we file with, or furnish to, the Securities and Exchange Commission (‘‘SEC’’), as soon as reasonably practicable after we electronically file that material with, or furnish it to, the SEC. You may also read and copy any material filed by us with the SEC at the SEC’s Public Reference Room at 100 F Street, N.E., Washington, D.C. 20549, and you may obtain information on the operation of the Public Reference Room by calling the SEC in the U.S. at 1-800-SEC-0330. In addition, the SEC maintains an Internet website, www.sec.gov, that contains reports, proxy and information statements and other information that we file electronically with the SEC. Our website also includes corporate governance information, including our Code of Ethics and our Board committee charters. The information contained on our website does not constitute a part of this report. 8 Item 1A. Risk Factors If any of the events or circumstances described in the following risks actually occur, our business, financial condition or results of operations could be materially adversely affected and the trading price of our common stock could decline. The concentration of our business with certain retail customers means that changes in the purchasing policies of these customers could have a significant impact on our business and operating results. In fiscal 2017, sales to our top seven customers, including Amazon.com, Wal-Mart, Babies R Us/ Toys R Us, and Target, accounted for approximately 77% of our total sales. We do not have long-term commitments or contracts with any of our retail customers, and retailers make purchases by delivering one-time purchase orders. As such, any customer could periodically renegotiate the terms of our business relationship at any time, which might include reducing overall purchases of our products, altering pricing, reducing the number and variety of our products carried and the shelf space allotted for our products, and reducing cooperative advertising or promotion support. Because of the current concentration of our business with these retail customers, a change in our relationship with any of these customers could adversely affect our results of operations and financial condition. Liquidity problems or bankruptcy of our key retail customers could have a significant adverse effect on our business, financial condition, and results of operations. A significant portion of our revenue is with key retail customers. Due to the current pressure on traditional brick-and-mortar retailers, there is increased risk that retailers will suffer material losses or file for a petition for bankruptcy. Toys R Us, the owner of Babies R Us, a key customer of the Company, filed for bankruptcy protection in September 2017. The sales we make to these retail customers are typically made on credit without collateral. When a customer files for bankruptcy, our pre-petition accounts receivable may not be realized and post-petition orders reduced or cancelled. The bankruptcy laws may severely limit our ability to collect pre-petition accounts receivable. In early January 2018, we entered into a trade agreement with Toys R Us and expect to receive a total of $1.45 million in settlement of our outstanding U.S. pre-petition accounts receivable in the first quarter of 2018. We have recorded a bad debt allowance of $1.5 million in 2017 related to the remaining uncollectible U.S. pre-petition as well as Canadian pre-petition accounts receivable. If key customers, including Toys R Us, were to cease doing business as a result of bankruptcy, or significantly reduce the number of stores operated and therefore the amount of products ordered from us, it would have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition, and results of operations, including our ability to access availability under our credit facility. The intense competition in our market could reduce our net sales and profitability. We operate in a highly competitive market and compete with several large domestic and foreign companies and with other, smaller producers of infant and juvenile products. Many of our competitors have longer operating histories, greater brand recognition, and greater financial, technical, marketing and other resources than us, or have greater e-commerce and social media presence than us. In addition, we face competition from new participants in our market because the infant and juvenile product industry has low barriers to entry. We experience price competition for our products and competition for shelf space at retailers, all of which may increase in the future. If we cannot adjust to changes in our market and compete successfully in the future, our net sales and profitability will likely decline. 9 Covenants in our credit facility may affect our liquidity or limit our ability to complete acquisitions, incur debt, make investments, sell assets, merge or complete other significant transactions. Deviations from expected results of operations and expected cash requirements could result in a failure to meet financial covenants, which would adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations. We rely on our credit facility and cash generated from our operations to meet our working capital needs. Our credit facility agreement includes certain covenants that place limitations on or restrict a number of our activities, including our ability to: (cid:127) incur additional debt; (cid:127) create liens on our assets or make guarantees; (cid:127) make certain investments or loans; (cid:127) pay dividends or make distributions; (cid:127) dispose of or sell assets; or (cid:127) enter into a merger or similar transaction. These restrictive covenants may limit our ability to engage in acts that may be in our best long-term interests. In addition, we are subject to financial covenants under our credit facility, including a fixed charge coverage ratio and quarterly leverage ratio. Any significant deviation in actual results from our expected results of operations, or in the timing of material expenditures from current estimates, any significant business or product acquisitions, or other significant unanticipated expenses could result in us not meeting these financial covenants. Non-compliance with the covenants in our credit facility could result in us being unable to utilize borrowings under our credit facility, a circumstance which potentially could occur when operating shortfalls would most require supplementary borrowings to enable us to continue to fund our operations. If access to our credit facility is limited or terminated, our liquidity would be constrained, affecting our operations and growth prospects, and we would need to seek amendments to our credit facility or obtain additional equity or debt financing or face default. There is no assurance that such financing would be available on acceptable terms or at all. Furthermore, any equity financing may result in dilution to existing stockholders and any debt financing may include restrictive covenants that could impede our ability to effectively operate and grow our business in the future. Our ability to grow and compete will be harmed if we do not successfully satisfy consumer preferences, enhance existing products, develop and introduce new products, successfully market and achieve acceptance of those products. Our business and operating results depend largely upon providing our customers products that appeal to the end user. Consumer preferences, particularly among parents whom are often the end purchasers of our products, are constantly changing. Our success largely depends on our ability to identify emerging trends in the infant and juvenile health, safety and wellness marketplace, and to design quality products that address consumer preferences and prove safe and cost effective. Our product offerings compete with those of many other larger companies. Many of these companies enjoy broader brand recognition and have significant distribution channel relationships in place, and as a result, our market position is always at risk. Our ability to maintain and increase our current market share will depend upon our ability to anticipate changes in consumer preferences and satisfy these preferences, enhance existing products, develop and introduce new products, grow existing distribution channels and seek additional distribution channels for these products, successfully market the products and, ultimately, achieve 10 consumer acceptance of these products. A failure to achieve market acceptance of our products would harm our ability to grow our business. An inability to develop and introduce planned new products or product lines in a timely and cost-effective manner may damage our business. In developing new products and product lines, we have anticipated dates for the associated product introductions. When we state that we will introduce, or anticipate introducing, a particular product or product line at a certain time in the future, those expectations are based on completing the associated development, implementation, marketing work, and manufacturing in accordance with our currently anticipated development schedule. The risk is also heightened by the sophistication of certain products we are designing, in terms of combining digital and analog technologies, utilizing digital media to a greater degree, and providing greater innovation and product differentiation. Unforeseen delays or difficulties in the development process, significant increases in the planned cost of development, changes in anticipated consumer demand for our products, and delays in the manufacturing process may cause the introduction date for products to be later than anticipated or, in some situations, may cause a product introduction to be discontinued. If we are unable to manufacture, source and ship new products in a timely manner and on a cost effective basis, it could have an adverse effect on our business and operating results. If we do not maintain sufficient inventory levels or if we are unable to deliver our products to our customers in sufficient quantities, or on a timely basis, or if our inventory levels are too high, our operating results will be adversely affected. Our business places stringent demands on our inventory forecasting and production planning processes. This inventory management approach may be particularly challenging when combined with ‘‘just-in-time’’ inventory management systems commonly used by retailers to minimize their inventory levels. If we fail to meet tight shipping schedules, we could damage our relationships with retailers, increase our shipping costs or cause sales opportunities to be delayed or lost. To deliver our merchandise on a timely basis, we need to maintain adequate inventory levels of the desired products. This approach requires us to begin to place orders for components for certain products up to a year in advance, and we procure a significant amount of product months in advance of certain time periods. At the time we place factory orders, we may not have firm orders from retailers or a complete understanding of what consumer demand for those products will be. If our inventory forecasting processes are not accurate, it may result in inventory levels in excess of the levels forecasted and we may not have sufficient space at our main distribution center to accommodate excess inventory. As a result, we could be required to record inventory write-downs for excess and obsolete inventory, and/or incur additional expense for storage of excess inventory, which would adversely affect our operating results. In addition, if our processes result in our inventory levels being too low to meet customer demand, we may lose sales, which would adversely affect our operating results. Because we rely on foreign suppliers and we sell our products in foreign markets, we are subject to numerous risks associated with international business that could increase our costs or disrupt the supply of our products, resulting in a negative impact on our business and financial condition. While the majority of our sales continue to be in North America, we operate facilities and sell products in countries outside the United States. Additionally, as we discuss below, we utilize third-party suppliers and manufacturers located in Asia to produce a majority of our products. These sales and manufacturing operations, including operations in emerging markets that we have entered, may enter, or may increase our presence in, are subject to the risks associated with international operations, including: (cid:127) economic and political instability; 11 (cid:127) restrictive actions by foreign governments; (cid:127) greater difficulty enforcing intellectual property rights and weaker laws protecting intellectual property rights; (cid:127) trade restrictions; (cid:127) work stoppages or other changes in labor conditions; (cid:127) reduction in business activity in some parts of the world; (cid:127) currency fluctuations and devaluations; (cid:127) changes in import duties or import or export restrictions; (cid:127) compliance with anti-bribery and anti-corruption regulations; (cid:127) untimely shipping of product and unloading of product through West Coast ports, as well as untimely truck delivery to our warehouses; (cid:127) complications in complying with the laws and policies of the United States affecting the importation of goods, including duties, quotas, and taxes; (cid:127) limitations on repatriation of foreign earnings; and (cid:127) complications in complying with foreign tax laws. Recent uncertainty with respect to potential changes to the U.S. tariff, and import/export regulations may have a negative effect on our results of operations. Due to our significant manufacturing presence in China, from which we import a majority of our products, the occurrence of such trade reforms or restrictions could significantly impact our business in an adverse manner. As a result of our international operations, we are subject to the U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act and similar foreign anti-corruption and anti-bribery laws. Recent years have seen a substantial increase in the global enforcement of anti-corruption laws, with more frequent voluntary self-disclosures by companies, aggressive investigations and enforcement proceedings by both the U.S. Department of Justice and the SEC resulting in record fines and penalties, increased enforcement activity by non-U.S. regulators, and increases in criminal and civil proceedings brought against companies and individuals. Our failure to successfully comply with any such legal requirements could subject us to monetary liabilities and other sanctions that could further harm our business and financial condition. Also, because we generate some of our revenue outside the United States but report our financial results in U.S. dollars, our financial results are impacted by fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates. If the U.S. dollar is strong against foreign currencies, our translation of foreign currency denominated revenue or expense could result in lower U.S. dollar denominated net revenue and expense. Any adverse change in our relationship with our suppliers could harm our business. We rely on numerous third-party suppliers located in Asia for the manufacture of most of our products. While we believe that alternative suppliers could be located if required, our product sourcing could be affected if any of these suppliers do not continue to manufacture our products in required quantities or at all, or with the required levels of quality. We do not have any long-term supply contracts with our foreign suppliers; rather, we enter into purchase orders with these suppliers. In addition, difficulties encountered by these suppliers, such as fire, accident, natural disasters, outbreaks of contagious diseases, or political unrest, could halt or disrupt production at the affected locations, resulting in delay or cancellation of orders. Any of these events could result in delayed deliveries by us of our products, causing reduced sales and harm to our reputation and brand name. 12 Increases in the cost of materials or labor used to manufacture our products could decrease our profitability and therefore negatively impact our business and financial condition. Because our products are manufactured by third-party suppliers, we do not directly purchase the materials used in the manufacture of our products. However, the prices paid by us to these suppliers could increase if raw materials, labor, or other costs increase. If we cannot pass these increases along to our customers, our profitability will be adversely affected. Earthquakes or other catastrophic events out of our control may damage our primary distribution facility and harm our results of operations. Our primary distribution facility is located in Riverside, California, near major earthquake faults. A catastrophic event, such as an earthquake, flood, fire, or other natural or manmade disaster, could impact operations at this facility and impair distribution of our products, damage inventory, interrupt critical functions, or otherwise affect our business negatively, harming our results of operations. Intellectual property claims relating to our products could increase our costs and adversely affect our business. We receive, from time to time, claims of alleged infringement of patents relating to certain of our products, and we may face similar claims in the future. The defense of intellectual property claims can be costly and time consuming, even in circumstances where the claim is without merit. We may be required to pay substantial damages or settlement costs in order to resolve these types of claims. In addition, these claims could materially harm our brand name, reputation and operations. As a manufacturer of consumer products, we are subject to various government regulations and may be subject to additional regulations in the future, violation of which could subject us to sanctions or otherwise harm our business. In addition, we could be the subject of future product liability suits, product recalls, and other claims relating to the use of our products, which could harm our business. Because we produce infant and juvenile health, safety and wellness consumer products, we are subject to significant government regulation and face product liability risks relating to consumer use of our products. We must comply with a variety of state and federal product safety and product testing regulations. In particular, our products are subject to the Consumer Product Safety Act, the Federal Hazardous Substances Act (‘‘FHSA’’) and the Consumer Product Safety Improvement Act (‘‘CPSIA’’), which empower the Consumer Product Safety Commission (the ‘‘CPSC’’), to take action against hazards presented by consumer products. With expanded authority under the CPSIA, the CPSC has and continues to adopt new regulations for safety and products testing that apply to our products. These new regulations have or likely will significantly increase the regulatory requirements governing the manufacture and sale of children’s products and increase the potential penalties for noncompliance with applicable regulations. The CPSC has the authority to exclude from the market and recall certain consumer products that are found to be potentially hazardous. Consumer product safety laws also exist in some states and cities within the United States and in Canada and Europe, as well as certain other countries. If we fail to comply with these laws and regulations, or if we face product liability claims, we may be subject to damage awards or settlement costs that exceed any available insurance coverage and we may incur significant costs in complying with recall requirements. We maintain a quality control program to help ensure compliance with applicable product safety requirements. Nonetheless, we have experienced, and may in the future experience, issues in products that may lead to product liability, personal injury or property damage claims, recalls, withdrawals, replacements of products, or regulatory actions by governmental authorities. A product recall could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations and financial condition, depending on the product affected by the recall and the extent of the recall efforts required. A product recall could also negatively affect our reputation and the sales of other products. Furthermore, concerns about potential 13 liability may lead us to recall voluntarily selected products. Complying with existing or any such additional regulations or requirements could impose increased costs on our business operations, decrease sales, increase legal fees and other costs, and put us at a competitive disadvantage compared to other manufacturers not affected by similar issues with products, any of which could have a significant adverse effect on our financial condition. Similarly, increased penalties for non-compliance could subject us to greater expense in the event any of our products were found to not comply with such regulations. In addition to product liability risks relating to the use by consumers of our products, we also must comply with a variety of state and federal laws and regulations which prohibits unfair or deceptive trade practices, including dissemination of false or misleading advertising. While we take steps we believe are necessary to comply with these laws and regulations, there can be no assurance that we will always be in compliance. Compliance with these various laws and regulations could impose significant costs on our business if we fail to comply, and could result in monetary liabilities and other penalties and lead to significant negative media attention and consumer dissatisfaction, which could have a significant adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. We are dependent on key personnel, and our ability to grow and compete in our industry will be harmed if we do not retain the continued services of our key personnel, or we fail to identify, hire, and retain additional qualified personnel. Our success depends on the efforts of our senior management team and other key personnel. Although we believe that we have a strong management team, the loss of services of members of our senior management team, who have substantial experience in the infant and juvenile health, safety and wellness markets, could have an adverse effect on our business. In addition, if we expect to grow our operations, it will be necessary for us to attract and retain additional qualified personnel. The market for qualified and talented product development personnel in the consumer goods market, and specifically in the infant and juvenile health, safety and wellness products market, is intensely competitive. If we are unable to attract or retain qualified personnel as needed, the growth of our operations could be slowed or hampered. We may have exposure to greater than anticipated tax liabilities, that, if not identified, could negatively affect our consolidated operating results and net worth. Our provision for income taxes is subject to volatility and could be adversely affected by nondeductible equity-based compensation, earnings being lower than anticipated in jurisdictions where we have lower statutory rates and being higher than anticipated in jurisdictions where we have higher statutory rates, transfer pricing adjustments, not meeting the terms and conditions of tax holidays or incentives, changes in the valuation of our deferred tax assets and liabilities, changes in actual results versus our estimates, or changes in tax laws, regulations, accounting principles or interpretations thereof, and taxes relating to deemed dividends resulting from foreign guarantees made by certain of our foreign subsidiaries. In addition, like other companies, we may be subject to examination of our income tax returns by the U.S. Internal Revenue Service and other tax authorities. While we regularly assess the likelihood of adverse outcomes from such examinations and the adequacy of our provision for income taxes, there can be no assurance that such provision is sufficient and that a determination by a tax authority will not have an adverse effect on our results of operations. A material impairment in the carrying value of other intangible assets could negatively affect our consolidated results of operations and net worth. A portion of our assets are intangible, which are reviewed on an annual basis and/or whenever events and changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. If the carrying value of these assets exceeds the current fair value, the asset is considered 14 impaired and is reduced to fair value, resulting in a non-cash charge to earnings during the period in which any impairment is determined. If we make changes in our business strategy, our future operating performance was to fall significantly below forecast levels or if external conditions adversely affect our business operations, we may be required to record an impairment charge for intangibles, which would lead to decreased assets and reduced net operating results and net worth. As discussed in Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Result of Operations below, we recorded an impairment charge for certain indefinite-lived intangible assets in the fourth quarter of 2016. We cannot accurately predict the amount and timing of any future impairment of assets. We rely on information technology in our operations, and any material failure, inadequacy, interruption, or security failure of that technology could harm our ability to effectively operate our business. We rely on information technology systems across our operations, including for management of our supply chain, sale and delivery of our products, and various other processes and transactions, including credit card processing for online sales. Our ability to effectively manage our business and coordinate the production, distribution, and sale of our products depends on the reliability and capacity of these systems and in some instances, third-party service providers. The failure of these systems to operate effectively due to service interruptions, problems with transitioning to upgraded or replacement systems, or a breach in security of these systems could cause delays in product sales and reduced efficiency of our operations, loss of proprietary data or customer information, and capital investments could be required to remediate the problem. Our stock price has been and may continue to be volatile. The market price of our common stock has been, and is likely to continue to be, volatile. When we or our competitors announce new products, experience quarterly fluctuations in operating results, announce strategic relationships, acquisitions or dispositions, change earnings estimates, publish financial results or other material news, our stock price is often affected. The volatility of our stock price may be accentuated during periods of low volume trading, which may require a stockholder wishing to sell a large number of shares to do so in increments over time to mitigate any adverse impact of the sales on the market price of our stock. Anti-takeover provisions in our organizational documents and Delaware law may limit the ability of our stockholders to control our policies and effect a change of control of our Company and may prevent attempts by our stockholders to replace or remove our current management, which may not be in your best interests. There are provisions in our certificate of incorporation and bylaws that may discourage a third party from making a proposal to acquire us, even if some of our stockholders might consider the proposal to be in their best interests, and may prevent attempts by our stockholders to replace or remove our current management. These provisions in our certificate of incorporation include authorization for our Board of Directors to issue shares of preferred stock without stockholder approval and to establish the preferences and rights of any preferred stock issued, and to issue one or more classes or series of preferred stock that could discourage or delay a tender offer or change in control. Our bylaws require advance written notice of stockholder proposals and director nominations. Additionally, we are subject to Section 203 of the Delaware General Corporation Law, which, in general, imposes restrictions upon acquirers of 15% or more of our stock. Finally, the Board of Directors may in the future adopt other protective measures, such as a stockholder rights plan, which could delay, deter or prevent a change of control. Item 1B. Unresolved Staff Comments None. 15 Item 2. Properties We are headquartered in a 62,500 square foot facility in Woonsocket, Rhode Island. We have a lease on this facility, which will expire in 2021. We also lease small offices in Arkansas, Washington, Canada, the United Kingdom and Hong Kong. We maintain inventory at leased warehouses in California (approximately 460,000 square feet), Canada (approximately 61,000 square feet), and the United Kingdom (approximately 25,000 square feet). These leases expire at various times through 2023. Item 3. Legal Proceedings The Company is a party to routine litigation and administrative complaints incidental to its business. The Company does not believe that the resolution of any or all of such current routine litigation and administrative complaints is likely to have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial condition or results of operations.

Dividend Policy There have been no cash dividends declared on our common stock since our Company was formed. Dividends are declared at the sole discretion of our Board of Directors. Our intention is not to declare cash dividends and retain all cash for our operations. In addition, under the terms of our current credit facilities, we are restricted in our ability to pay cash dividends to our stockholders. Issuer Repurchases of Equity Securities None.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations The following discussion is intended to assist in the assessment of significant changes and trends related to our results of operations and financial condition. The information contained in this section has been derived from our consolidated financial statements and should be read together with our consolidated financial statements and related notes included elsewhere in this report. Readers should also review and consider our disclosures under the heading ‘‘Special Note Regarding Forward-Looking 17 Statements’’ describing various factors that could affect our business and the disclosures under the heading ‘‘Risk Factors’’ in this report. Note that all dollar amounts in this Item 7 are in thousands of U.S. dollars, except share and per share data. Overview We are an infant and juvenile products company originally founded in 1985 and have publicly traded on the Nasdaq Stock Market since 2007 under the symbol ‘‘SUMR.’’ We are a leader in product innovation in the juvenile industry, providing parents and caregivers a full range of high-quality, high-value products to care for babies and toddlers. We seek to improve the quality of life of both caregivers and babies through our product offerings, while at the same time maximizing shareholder value over the long term. We operate in one principal industry segment across geographically diverse marketplaces, selling our products globally to large, national retailers as well as independent retailers, and on our partner’s websites and our own summerinfant.com website. In North America, our customers include Amazon.com, Wal-Mart, Babies R Us, Target, Buy Buy Baby, Home Depot, and Lowe’s. Our largest European-based customers are Argos, Amazon, Toys R Us, and Mothercare. We also sell through international distributors, representatives, and to select international retail customers in geographic locations where we do not have a direct sales presence. While sales declined 2.3% in 2017, we narrowed our net loss as compared to fiscal 2016 and maintained gross margins as we streamlined operations and controlled spending. Our results in 2017 were negatively impacted in part by the September 2017 bankruptcy filing of one of our largest customers, and we recorded a charge of approximately $1.5 million as an allowance for bad debt related to this customer’s pre-bankruptcy petition accounts receivable. In early January 2018, we entered into a trade agreement with this customer pursuant to which we will receive payment on a portion of our pre-petition accounts receivable in the first quarter of 2018 and which designates us as a critical vendor. As a critical vendor, we will continue to do business with this customer during the pendency of its bankruptcy on substantially the same trade terms as in effect prior to the bankruptcy filing. While we are still assessing the long-term impact of the bankruptcy on our business, we currently expect that we will continue to do business with this customer in 2018, albeit at a reduced rate compared to 2017. In December 2017, the U.S. government enacted comprehensive tax legislation commonly referred to as the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (the ‘‘Tax Act’’) that significantly revised the U.S. tax code effective January 1, 2018 by, among other things, lowering the corporate income tax rate from a top marginal rate of 35% to a flat 21%, limiting deductibility of interest expense and performance based incentive compensation and implementing a territorial tax system. The Tax Act negatively impacted our consolidated results of operations in the fourth quarter of 2017. In particular, we recorded a $734 tax provision for the deemed repatriation of past foreign income, $882 for a writedown in foreign tax credits and $115 for a writedown of the value of our deferred tax assets due to future lower income tax rates. These tax charges were noncash in nature as we expect to be able to utilize existing federal net operating loss carry forwards for any payment due on previously unremitted earnings of foreign subsidiaries. These amounts represent our provisional estimates and may be subject to further adjustment once finalized. Primarily as a result of the $1.5 million charge for the allowance for bad debts and $1.7 million in provisional tax charges attributable to the Tax Act and lower sales, we ended fiscal 2017 with a net loss of $0.12 per share as compared to a net loss of $0.23 per share in fiscal 2016. 18 In 2018, we expect to continue our efforts to control costs while investing in research and development and improving our overall product positioning. We also expect to invest approximately $1 million in our West Coast distribution center to more efficiently handle our merchandise. Summary of Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates The following summary of our critical accounting policies is presented to assist in understanding our consolidated financial statements. The consolidated financial statements and notes are representations of our management, who are responsible for their integrity and objectivity. These accounting policies conform to accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and have been consistently applied in the preparation of the consolidated financial statements. Additional information about our accounting policies and estimates may be found in Note 1 to our consolidated financial statements included in this report. We make certain estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses. The accounting policies described below are those we consider critical in preparing our financial statements. Some of these policies include significant estimates made by management using information available at the time the estimates were made. However, these estimates could change materially if different information or assumptions were used. Revenue Recognition We record revenue when all of the following occur: persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, product delivery has occurred, the sales price to the customer is fixed or determinable, and collectability is reasonably assured. Sales are recorded net of provisions for returns and allowances, cash discounts, and markdowns. We base our estimates for discounts, returns and allowances on negotiated customer terms, and historical experience. These estimates are subject to variability, as actual deductions taken by customers may be different from the estimates recorded. Customers do not have the right to return products unless the products are defective. We record a reduction of sales for estimated future defective product deductions based on contractual terms and historical experience. Sales incentives or other consideration given by us to customers that are considered adjustments of the selling price of products, such as markdowns, are reflected as reductions of revenue. Sales incentives and other consideration that represent costs incurred by us for assets or services received, such as the appearance of our products in a customer’s national circular ad (co-op advertising), are reflected as selling and marketing expenses in our accompanying statement of operations. Trade Receivables Trade receivables are carried at their outstanding unpaid principal balances reduced by an allowance for doubtful accounts. The Company estimates doubtful accounts based on historical bad debts, factors related to specific customers’ ability to pay and current economic trends. The Company writes off accounts receivable against the allowance when a balance is determined to be uncollectible. Amounts are considered to be uncollectable based upon historical experience and management’s evaluation of outstanding accounts receivable. Allowance for Doubtful Accounts The allowance for doubtful accounts represents adjustments to customer trade accounts receivable for amounts deemed uncollectible. The allowance for doubtful accounts reduces gross trade receivables to their estimated net realizable value. The allowance is based on our assessment of the business environment, customers’ financial condition, historical trends, customer payment practices, receivable 19 aging and customer disputes. We will continue to proactively review our credit risks and adjust customer terms to reflect the current environment. Inventory Valuation Inventory is comprised of finished goods and is stated at the lower of cost, inclusive of freight and duty, or market (net realizable value) using the first-in, first-out (FIFO) method or net realizable value. Our warehousing costs are charged to expense as incurred. We regularly review slow-moving and excess inventory, and write-down inventories as appropriate. Management uses estimates to record write-downs based on its review of inventory by product category, including length of time on hand and estimates of future orders for each product. Changes in consumer preferences, as well as demand for products, customer buying patterns and inventory management could impact the inventory valuation. Long-Lived Assets with Finite Lives We review long-lived assets with finite lives for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of a long-lived asset may not be recoverable. An asset is considered to be impaired when its carrying amount exceeds both the sum of the undiscounted future net cash flows expected to result from the use of the asset and its eventual disposition and the assets’ fair value. Long-lived assets include property and equipment and finite-lived intangible assets. The amount of impairment loss, if any, is charged by us to current operations. Indefinite-Lived Intangible Assets We account for indefinite-lived intangible assets in accordance with accounting guidance that requires indefinite-lived intangible assets be tested annually for impairment and more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that the asset might be impaired. Our annual impairment testing is conducted in the fourth quarter of every year. We test indefinite-lived intangible assets for impairment by comparing the asset’s fair value to its carrying amount. If the fair value is less than the carrying amount, the excess of the carrying amount over fair value is recognized as an impairment charge and the adjusted carrying amount becomes the assets’ new accounting basis. Management also evaluates the remaining useful life of an intangible asset that is not being amortized each reporting period to determine whether events and circumstances continue to support an indefinite useful life. If an intangible asset that is not being amortized is subsequently determined to have a finite useful life, it is amortized prospectively over its estimated remaining useful life. Income Taxes Income taxes are computed using the asset and liability method of accounting. Under the asset and liability method, a deferred tax asset or liability is recognized for estimated future tax effects attributable to temporary differences and carry forwards. The measurement of deferred income tax assets is adjusted by a valuation allowance, if necessary, to recognize future tax benefits only to the extent, based on available evidence; it is more likely than not that such benefit will be realized. We recognize interest and penalties, if any, related to uncertain tax positions in interest expense. Interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions were accrued at December 30, 2017. On a global basis, the open tax years subject to examination by major taxing jurisdictions in which we operate is between two to six years. 20 Results of Operations The following table presents selected condensed consolidated financial information for our Company for the fiscal years ended December 30, 2017 (‘‘fiscal 2017’’) and December 31, 2016 (‘‘fiscal 2016’’).

The decrease is primarily due to a $5,943 reduction in sales to a large customer in part as a result of its bankruptcy filing, but the customer also contributed to a $12,075 decrease in monitor sales due to increased competition. The decrease was partially offset by a $10,517 increase in safety product sales including newly introduced boosters and potties. Cost of goods sold includes the cost of the finished product from suppliers, duties on certain imported items, freight-in from suppliers, and miscellaneous charges. The components of cost of goods sold remained substantially the same for fiscal 2017 as compared to fiscal 2016. Gross profit declined 2.5% to $60,195 for fiscal 2017 from $61,751 for fiscal 2016, however, gross margin stayed relatively constant at 31.7% for fiscal 2017 versus 31.8% for fiscal 2016. Gross profit decreased primarily due to lower sales and $244 of increased temporary demurrage and transport costs. Gross margin declined primarily due to $244 of increased temporary demurrage and transport costs. General and administrative expenses decreased 5.8% to $38,878 for fiscal 2017 from $41,292 for fiscal 2016 and as a percent of sales to 20.5% for fiscal 2017 from 21.2% for fiscal 2016. The decrease in dollars and as a percent of sales was primarily attributable to the settlement of litigation in December 2016. Litigation expense was $2,397 for fiscal 2016 compared to a litigation insurance reimbursement of $400 in fiscal 2017. The decrease was partially offset by a $1,560 charge in fiscal 2017 to increase our allowance for bad debts due to the bankruptcy filing of a large customer. Selling expenses decreased by 6.8% to $14,229 for fiscal 2017 from $15,269 for fiscal 2016 and as a percent of sales to 7.5% for fiscal 2017 from 7.9% for fiscal 2016. The decrease in selling expense was primarily attributable to lower sales and to an increase in our direct import business which does not incur cooperative advertising costs. The decrease in selling expense as a percent of sales was primarily attributable to an increase in our direct import business which does not incur cooperative advertising costs. 21 Depreciation and amortization decreased 16.2% to $4,197 for fiscal 2017 from $5,011 in fiscal 2016. Fiscal 2016 included $341 of accelerated depreciation due to the shortened estimated useful life on some next generation technology that was discontinued. The decrease in depreciation is also attributable to a reduction in capital investment over several years. In the fourth quarter of 2016, we undertook our annual intangible asset impairment analysis and engaged a third party to assist management in valuing our infinite lived intangible assets recorded on our balance sheet. Management determined that the estimated fair value of that indefinite lived asset was lower than its carrying value, and we recorded a non-cash impairment charge of $2,993 in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2016. In addition, management deemed the remaining value of the indefinite lived asset to have a finite life subject to amortization over its remaining useful life estimated to be 15 years. While the charge affected our financial condition and results of operations for fiscal 2016, it had no impact on our day-to-day operations or liquidity and will not result in any future cash expenditures. There was no impairment charge recorded in 2017. Interest expense increased 10.7% to $2,968 for fiscal 2017 from $2,682 in fiscal 2016. Interest expense increased primarily as a result of higher average interest rates. For fiscal 2017, we recorded a $2,172 tax provision on $77 of pretax loss for the period. The tax provision for fiscal 2017 included the effect of $366 of non-deductible expenses primarily attributable to foreign tooling depreciation. The fiscal 2017 tax provision was also effected by the Tax Act. As a result, we recorded a $734 tax provision for the deemed repatriation of past foreign income, $882 for a writedown in foreign tax credits and $115 for a writedown of the value of our deferred tax assets due to future lower income tax rates. For fiscal 2016, we recorded a $1,174 tax benefit on $5,496 of pretax loss for the period. These tax charges were noncash in nature as we expect to be able to utilize existing federal net operating loss carry forwards for any payment due on previously unremitted earnings of foreign subsidiaries. These amounts represent our provisional estimates and may be subject to further adjustment once finalized. The tax benefit included the effects of $471 of non-deductible tooling depreciation, $270 of expiring charitable donation carryforwards, and $299 related to the impairment charge. Liquidity and Capital Resources We fund our operations and working capital needs through cash generated from operations and borrowings under our credit facility. Cash Flows In our typical operational cash flow cycle, inventory is purchased to meet expected demand plus a safety stock. The majority of our inventory is sourced from Asia which takes approximately three to four weeks to arrive at the various distribution points we maintain in the United States, Canada and the United Kingdom. Payment terms for these vendors are approximately 60-90 days from the date the product ships from Asia, therefore we are generally paying for the product a short time after it is physically received in the United States. In turn, sales to customers generally have payment terms of 30 to 60 days, resulting in an accounts receivable and increasing the amount of cash required to fund working capital. To bridge the gap between paying our suppliers and receiving payment from our customers for goods sold, we rely on our credit facilities. The majority of our capital expenditures are for tools and molds related to new product introductions. We receive indications from retailers generally around the middle of each year as to what products the retailer will be taking into its product line for the upcoming year. Based on these indications, we will acquire tools and molds required to build and produce the products. In most cases, the payments for the tools and molds are spread over a three to four month period. 22 For fiscal 2017, net cash provided by operating activities was approximately $1,211 generated primarily from operating performance partially offset by higher accounts receivable attributable to delays in collection from the bankruptcy of a large customer combined with a higher mix of sales with certain customers with longer payment terms as well as due to a reduction in lower accounts payable. For fiscal 2016, net cash provided by operating activities was approximately $8,788 and was generated primarily from operating performance as well as lower accounts receivable due to a combination of lower sales and improved collections. For fiscal 2017, net cash used in investing activities was approximately $3,103. For fiscal 2016, net cash used in investing activities was approximately $2,266. The use of cash in investing activities was primarily attributable to tooling and mold expenditures related to new product introductions which increase in fiscal 2017. For fiscal 2017, net cash provided by financing activities was approximately $1,321, reflecting borrowings on our credit facility to fund investing activities. For fiscal 2016, net cash used in financing activities was approximately $6,548, reflecting repayments on our credit facility. Based primarily on the above factors, net cash decreased for fiscal 2017 by $318, resulting in a cash balance of approximately $681 at fiscal year end.

Capital Resources In addition to operating cash flow, we also rely on our existing asset-based revolving credit facility with Bank of America, N.A. to meet our financing requirements, which is subject to changes in our inventory and account receivable levels. We regularly evaluate market conditions, our liquidity profile, and various financing alternatives for opportunities to enhance our capital structure. 23 If we are unable to meet our current financial forecast, do not adequately control expenses, or adjust our operations accordingly, we may not remain in compliance with the financial covenants required under our existing revolving credit facility. Unforeseen circumstances, could create a situation where we cannot access all of our available lines of credit due to insufficient asset availability or an inability to meet the financial covenants as required under our credit facility. There is no assurance that we will meet all of our financial or other covenants in the future, or that our lenders will grant waivers if there are covenant violations. In addition, should we seek to raise additional funds through debt or equity financings, any sale of debt or equity securities may cause dilution to existing stockholders. If sufficient funds are not available or are not available on acceptable terms, our ability to address any unexpected changes in our operations could be limited. Based on past performance and current expectations, we believe that our anticipated cash flow from operations and availability under our existing credit facility are sufficient to fund our working capital, capital expenditures and debt service requirements for at least the next 12 months. Credit Facilities We and our wholly owned subsidiary, Summer Infant (USA), Inc., are parties to an amended and restated loan and security agreement with Bank of America, N.A., as agent, providing for an asset-based credit facility (as amended, the ‘‘Credit Facility’’). The Credit Facility consists of a $60,000 asset-based revolving credit facility, with a $10,000 letter of credit sub-line facility (the ‘‘Revolving Facility’’), a $5,000 ‘‘first in last out’’ (FILO) revolving credit facility (the ‘‘FILO Facility’’) and a $10,000 term loan facility (the ‘‘Term Loan Facility’’). Pursuant to an accordion feature, the Credit Facility includes the ability to increase the Revolving Facility by an additional $15,000 upon the Company’s request and the agreement of the lenders participating in the increase. The total borrowing capacity under the Revolving Facility is based on a borrowing base, generally defined as 85% of the value of eligible accounts plus the lesser of (i) 70% of the value of eligible inventory or (ii) 85% of the net orderly liquidation value of eligible inventory, less reserves. The total borrowing capacity under the FILO Facility is based on a borrowing base, generally defined as a specified percentage of the value of eligible accounts that steps down over time, plus a specified percentage of the value of eligible inventory that steps down over time. For additional information on the Credit Facility, please see Note 4 to our consolidated financial statements included in this Annual Report on Form 10-K. As of December 30, 2017, the rate for base-rate loans was 5.50% and the rate for LIBOR-rate loans was 4.125%. The amount outstanding on the Revolving Facility at December 30, 2017 was $41,899. Total borrowing capacity under the Revolving Facility at December 30, 2017 was $45,098 and borrowing availability was $3,199. The amounts outstanding on the Term Loan Facility and FILO Facility at December 30, 2017 were $5,000 and $1,250, respectively. We were in compliance with the financial covenants under the Credit Facility as of December 30, 2017. Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements We did not have any off-balance sheet arrangements during the year ended December 30, 2017 or the year ended December 31, 2016. Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09, ‘‘Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606)’’ providing new accounting guidance related to revenue recognition. This guidance was originally proposed to be effective for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016, however in 24 July 2015, the FASB approved the delay in this guidance until reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017. Under the standard, revenue is recognized when a customer obtains control of promised goods or services in an amount that reflects the consideration the entity expects to receive in exchange for those goods or services. The Company has evaluated the new standard against its existing accounting policies and practices, including reviewing purchase orders, invoices, shipping terms, conducting questionnaires with its sales team and reviewing other agreements and contracts with customers. Based on the evaluation of the Company’s current contracts and revenue streams, the Company does not expect the adoption of the standard to have a material impact on the company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations, or cash flow on an ongoing basis. The Company expects to have enhanced disclosures related to disaggregation of revenue sources and accounting policies. The Company has elected to use the modified retrospective transition method to apply the new guidance and will adopt the new revenue guidance effective the first day of fiscal 2018 and the impact was immaterial. In July 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-11, ‘‘Simplifying the Measurement of Inventory.’’ This guidance required inventory within the scope of ASU 2015-11 to be measured at the lower of cost and net realizable value. Net realizable value is defined as the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less reasonably predictable costs of completion, disposal, and transportation. This guidance was effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016. The Company adopted this guidance in the first quarter of 2017 and the impact on its consolidated financial statements was immaterial. In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, ‘‘Leases (Topic 842),’’ (‘‘ASU 2016-02’’). ASU 2016-02 requires lessees to recognize assets and liabilities on the balance sheet for leases with lease terms greater than twelve months and disclose key information about leasing arrangements. The effective date will be the first quarter of fiscal year 2019, with early adoption permitted. The Company is evaluating the impact that adoption of this new standard will have on its consolidated financial statements. In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-09, ‘‘Compensation—Stock Compensation: Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting.’’ The guidance simplified the accounting and financial reporting of the income tax impact of stock-based compensation arrangements. This guidance required excess tax benefits to be recorded as a discrete item within income tax expense rather than additional paid-in-capital. In addition, excess tax benefits are required to be classified as cash from operating activities rather than cash from financing activities. The Company adopted this guidance as of the beginning of fiscal 2017. The Company also elected to continue to estimate forfeitures, as permitted by ASU 2016-09, rather than electing to account for forfeitures as they occur. The impact of adopting this guidance in the first quarter of 2017 was immaterial to the Company’s consolidated financial statements. In August 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-15, ‘‘Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments (A Consensus of the FASB Emerging Issues Task Force). In an effort to reduce diversity in practice, ASU 2016-15 provides solutions for eight specific statement of cash flow classification issues. The ASU is effective for public companies beginning after December 15, 2017, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted, including adoption in an interim period. The Company has evaluated the impact this guidance will have on its consolidated financial statements and expects the impact to be immaterial. Management does not believe that any other recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting standards if currently adopted would have a material effect on the accompanying financial statements.

Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk Not required. Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data The financial statements required by this item are attached to this Annual Report on Form 10-K beginning on Page F-1. Item 9. Changes in and Disagreements With Accountants on Accounting and Financial Disclosure None. Item 9A. Controls and Procedures (a) Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures As required by Rule 13a-15 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as of the end of the period covered by this report, we carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of December 30, 2017. Our principal executive officer and principal financial officer have concluded, based on their evaluation, that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of December 30, 2017. (b) Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting Management of our Company is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting. As defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Exchange Act, internal control over financial reporting is a process designed by, or under the supervision of, a company’s principal executive and principal financial officers and effected by a company’s board of directors, management and other personnel, to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. It includes those policies and procedures that: 1) Pertain to the maintenance of records that in reasonable detail accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of a company; 2) Provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of a company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and the board of directors of the company; and 27 3) Provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of a company’s assets that could have a material effect on its financial statements. Because of the inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate. The Company’s management has used the criteria established in the 2013 ‘‘Internal Control—Integrated Framework’’ issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (‘‘COSO Framework’’) to evaluate the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Management of the Company conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness, as of December 30, 2017, of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting and based on its evaluation under the COSO Framework, management has concluded that the Company’s internal control over financial reporting was effective as of December 30, 2017. (c) Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting There was no change in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the quarter ended December 30, 2017 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Opinion on the Financial Statements We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Summer Infant, Inc. and Subsidiaries (the Company) as of December 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, the related consolidated statements of operations, comprehensive loss, cash flows, and stockholders’ equity for the years then ended, and the related notes to the consolidated financial statements (collectively, the financial statements). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of the Company as of December 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Basis for Opinion These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB. We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal 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 financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion. /s/ RSM US LLP We or our predecessor firms have served as the Company’s auditor since 2005.

The Company currently markets its products in several product categories including monitoring, safety, nursery, baby gear, and feeding products. Most products are sold under our core brand names of Summer(cid:3), SwaddleMe(cid:3), and Born Free(cid:3). Basis of Presentation and Principles of Consolidation It is the Company’s policy to prepare its financial statements on the accrual basis of accounting in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in the consolidation. All dollar amounts included in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements are in thousands of U.S. dollars except share and per share amounts. Fiscal Year The Company’s fiscal year ends on the Saturday closest to December 31 of each calendar year. There were fifty two weeks in the fiscal years ended December 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies Revenue Recognition The Company records revenue when all of the following occur: persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, product delivery has occurred, the sales price to the customer is fixed or determinable, and collectability is reasonably assured. Sales are recorded net of provisions for returns and allowances, customer discounts, and other sales related discounts. The Company bases its estimates for discounts, returns and allowances on negotiated customer terms and historical experience. Customers do not have the right to return products unless the products are defective. The Company records a reduction of sales for estimated future defective product deductions based on contractual terms and historical experience. Sales incentives or other consideration given by the Company to customers that are considered adjustments of the selling price of products, such as markdowns, are reflected as reductions of revenue. Sales incentives and other consideration that represent costs incurred by the Company for assets or services received, such as the appearance of the Company’s products in a customer’s national circular ad, are reflected as selling and marketing expenses in the accompanying statements of operations. Use of Estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect certain reported amounts and disclosures. These estimates are based on management’s best knowledge of current events and actions the Company may undertake in the future. Accordingly, actual results could differ from those estimates. F-8 SUMMER INFANT, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued) 1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued) Cash and Cash Equivalents Cash flows, cash and cash equivalents include money market accounts and investments with an original maturity of three months or less. At times, the Company possesses cash balances in excess of federally-insured limits. Trade Receivables Trade receivables are carried at their outstanding unpaid principal balances reduced by an allowance for doubtful accounts. The Company estimates doubtful accounts based on historical bad debts, factors related to specific customers’ ability to pay and current economic trends. The Company writes off accounts receivable against the allowance when a balance is determined to be uncollectible. Amounts are considered to be uncollectable based upon historical experience and management’s evaluation of outstanding accounts receivable. Changes in the allowance for doubtful accounts are as follows: For the fiscal year ended December 30, 2017 December 31, 2016 Allowance for doubtful accounts, beginning of period . . . . Charges to costs and expenses . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . Account write-offs and other . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . $ 64 1,646 (88) Allowance for doubtful accounts, end of period . . . . . . . . $1,622 $ 149 46 (131) $ 64 Inventory Valuation Inventory is comprised mostly of finished goods and some component parts and is stated at the lower of cost using the first-in, first-out (FIFO) method, or net realizable value. The Company regularly reviews slow-moving and excess inventories, and writes down inventories to net realizable value if the ultimate expected net proceeds from the disposals of excess inventory are less than the carrying cost of the merchandise. Property and Equipment Property and equipment are recorded at cost. The Company owns the tools and molds used in the production of its products by third party manufacturers. Capitalized mold costs include costs incurred for the pre-production design and development of the molds. Depreciation is provided over the estimated useful lives of the respective assets using either straight-line or accelerated methods. Long-Lived Assets with Finite Lives The Company reviews long-lived assets with finite lives for impairment on an asset group level whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of a long-lived asset may not be recoverable. An asset is considered to be impaired when its carrying amount exceeds both F-9 SUMMER INFANT, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued) 1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued) the sum of the undiscounted future net cash flows expected to result from the use of the asset and its eventual disposition and the assets’ fair value. Long-lived assets include property and equipment and finite-lived intangible assets. The amount of impairment loss, if any, is charged by the Company to current operations. Indefinite-Lived Intangible Assets The Company accounts for intangible assets in accordance with accounting guidance that requires that intangible assets with indefinite useful lives be tested annually for impairment and more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that the asset might be impaired. The Company’s annual impairment testing is conducted in the fourth quarter of every year. The Company tests indefinite-lived intangible assets for impairment by comparing the asset’s fair value to its carrying amount. If the fair value is less than the carrying amount, the excess of the carrying amount over fair value is recognized as an impairment charge and the adjusted carrying amount becomes the assets’ new cost basis. Management also evaluates the remaining useful life of an intangible asset that is not being amortized each reporting period to determine whether events and circumstances continue to support an indefinite useful life. If an intangible asset that is not being amortized is subsequently determined to have a finite useful life, it is amortized prospectively over its estimated remaining useful life. For the year ended December 31, 2016, the Company determined that certain indefinite-lived intangible assets were impaired. See Note 3 for a discussion on the fiscal year 2016 impairment charge. No impairment charge was recorded for fiscal 2017. Fair Value Measurements The Company follows ASC 820, ‘‘Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures’’ which includes a framework for measuring fair value and expanded related disclosures. Broadly, the framework requires fair value to be determined based on the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants. The standard established a three-level valuation hierarchy based upon observable and non-observable inputs. Observable inputs reflect market data obtained from independent sources, while unobservable inputs reflect our market assumptions. Preference is given to observable inputs. These two types of inputs create the following fair value hierarchy: Level 1—Quoted prices for identical instruments in active markets. Level 2—Quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active; and model-derived valuations whose inputs are observable or whose significant value drivers are observable. Level 3—Significant inputs to the valuation model are unobservable. The Company maintains policies and procedures to value instruments using the best and most relevant data available. In addition, the Company utilizes third party specialists that review valuation, including independent price validation. F-10 SUMMER INFANT, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued) 1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued) The Company’s financial instruments include cash and cash equivalents, accounts and notes receivable, accounts payable, accrued expenses, and short and long-term borrowings. Because of their short maturity, the carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents, accounts and notes receivable, accounts payable, accrued expenses and short-term borrowings approximate fair value. The carrying value of long-term borrowings approximates fair value since the stated rate is similar to rates currently available to the Company for debt with similar terms and remaining maturities. The Company’s assets measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis include long-lived assets and finite-lived intangibles. The Company tests its indefinite-lived assets for impairment at least annually and whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable or that the carrying value may exceed its fair value. The resulting fair value measurements are considered to be Level 3 inputs. During the fourth quarter of fiscal 2016, the Company determined that the estimated fair value of an indefinite lived asset was lower than its carrying value and the Company recorded a non-cash impairment charge of $2,993 which reduced the value of the intangible asset to approximately $915, as more fully described in ‘‘Note 3 to the Consolidated Financial Statements—Intangible Assets.’’ Income taxes Income taxes are computed using the asset and liability method of accounting. Under the asset and liability method, a deferred tax asset or liability is recognized for estimated future tax effects attributable to temporary differences and carryforwards. The measurement of deferred income tax assets is adjusted by a valuation allowance, if necessary, to recognize future tax benefits only to the extent, based on available evidence, it is more likely than not that such benefits will be realized. The Company follows the applicable guidance relative to uncertain tax positions. This standard provides detailed guidance for the financial statement recognition, measurement and disclosure of uncertain tax positions recognized in the financial statements. Uncertain tax positions must meet a recognition threshold of more-likely-than-not in order for those tax positions to be recognized in the financial statements. Translation of Foreign Currencies The assets and liabilities of the Company’s European, Canadian, Israeli, and Asian operations have been translated into U.S. dollars at year-end exchange rates and the income and expense accounts of these subsidiaries have been translated at average rates prevailing during each respective year. Resulting translation adjustments are made to a separate component of stockholders’ equity within accumulated other comprehensive loss. Foreign exchange transaction gains and losses are included in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations. Shipping Costs Shipping costs to customers are included in selling expenses and amounted to approximately $1,591 and $1,477 for the fiscal years ended December 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, respectively. F-11 SUMMER INFANT, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued) 1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued) Advertising Costs The Company charges advertising costs to selling expense as incurred. Advertising expense, which consists primarily of promotional and cooperative advertising allowances provided to customers, was approximately $11,970 and $12,863 for the fiscal years ended December 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, respectively. Segment Information Operating segments are identified as components of an enterprise about which separate, discrete financial information is available for evaluation by the chief operating decision-maker, or decision- making group, in making decisions on how to allocate resources and assess performance. The Company views its operations and manages its business as one operating segment utilizing an omni-channel distribution strategy. Net Loss Per Share Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing net loss for the period by the weighted average number of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted loss per share for the Company is computed by dividing net loss by the dilutive weighted average shares outstanding which includes: the dilutive impact (using the ‘‘treasury stock’’ method) of ‘‘in the money’’ stock options and unvested restricted shares issued to employees. Options to purchase 1,052,026 and 1,023,825 shares of the Company’s common stock and 331,516 and 268,432 of restricted shares were not included in the calculation, due to the fact that these instruments were anti-dilutive for the fiscal years ended December 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, respectively. New Accounting Pronouncements In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09, ‘‘Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606)’’ providing new accounting guidance related to revenue recognition. This guidance was originally proposed to be effective for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016, however in July 2015, the FASB approved the delay in this guidance until reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017. Under the standard, revenue is recognized when a customer obtains control of promised goods or services in an amount that reflects the consideration the entity expects to receive in exchange for those goods or services. The Company has evaluated the new standard against its existing accounting policies and practices, including reviewing purchase orders, invoices, shipping terms, conducting questionnaires with its sales team and reviewing other agreements and contracts with customers. Based on the evaluation of the Company’s current contracts and revenue streams, the Company does not expect the adoption of the standard to have a material impact on the company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations, or cash flow on an ongoing basis. The Company expects to have enhanced disclosures related to disaggregation of revenue sources and accounting policies. The Company has elected to use the modified retrospective transition method to apply the new guidance and will adopt the new revenue guidance effective the first day of fiscal 2018 and the impact was immaterial. In July 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-11, ‘‘Simplifying the Measurement of Inventory.’’ This guidance required inventory within the scope of ASU 2015-11 to be measured at the lower of cost and F-12 SUMMER INFANT, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued) 1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued) net realizable value. Net realizable value is defined as the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less reasonably predictable costs of completion, disposal, and transportation. This guidance was effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016. The Company adopted this guidance in the first quarter of 2017 and the impact on its consolidated financial statements was immaterial. In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, ‘‘Leases (Topic 842),’’ (‘‘ASU 2016-02’’). ASU 2016-02 requires lessees to recognize assets and liabilities on the balance sheet for leases with lease terms greater than twelve months and disclose key information about leasing arrangements. The effective date will be the first quarter of fiscal year 2019, with early adoption permitted. The Company is evaluating the impact that adoption of this new standard will have on its consolidated financial statements. In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-09, ‘‘Compensation—Stock Compensation: Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting.’’ The guidance simplified the accounting and financial reporting of the income tax impact of stock-based compensation arrangements. This guidance required excess tax benefits to be recorded as a discrete item within income tax expense rather than additional paid-in-capital. In addition, excess tax benefits are required to be classified as cash from operating activities rather than cash from financing activities. The Company adopted this guidance as of the beginning of fiscal 2017. The Company also elected to continue to estimate forfeitures, as permitted by ASU 2016-09, rather than electing to account for forfeitures as they occur. The impact of adopting this guidance in the first quarter of 2017 was immaterial to the Company’s consolidated financial statements. In August 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-15, ‘‘Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments (A Consensus of the FASB Emerging Issues Task Force). In an effort to reduce diversity in practice, ASU 2016-15 provides solutions for eight specific statement of cash flow classification issues. The ASU is effective for public companies beginning after December 15, 2017, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted, including adoption in an interim period. The Company has evaluated the impact this guidance will have on its consolidated financial statements and expects the impact to be immaterial. Management does not believe that any other recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting standards if currently adopted would have a material effect on the accompanying financial statements.

Amortization expense amounted to $768 and $707 for the fiscal years ended December 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, respectively. The Company undertook its annual indefinite-lived intangible asset impairment analysis and engaged a third party to assist management in valuing the infinite lived intangible assets recorded on the balance sheet in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2017 and 2016. No asset impairment was recorded for the fiscal year ended December 30, 2017. For fiscal 2016, the Company determined that the estimated F-14 SUMMER INFANT, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued) 3. INTANGIBLE ASSETS (Continued) fair value of that indefinite lived asset was lower than its carrying value, and the Company recorded a non-cash impairment charge of $2,993. In addition, the Company deemed the remaining value of the indefinite lived asset to have a finite life subject to amortization over its remaining useful life estimated to be 15 years. This was a change in estimate and the financial impact was zero as of December 31, 2016.

DEBT Credit Facilities The Company and its wholly owned subsidiary, Summer Infant (USA), Inc., are parties to an amended and restated loan and security agreement with Bank of America, N.A., as agent, which provides for an asset-based credit facility The amended and restated loan and security agreement was entered into in April 2015 and has been subsequently amended, with the most recent amendment dated November 29, 2017 (as amended, the ‘‘Credit Facility’’). The Credit Facility consists of a $60,000 asset- based revolving credit facility, with a $10,000 letter of credit sub-line facility (the ‘‘Revolving Facility’’), a $5,000 ‘‘first in last out’’ (FILO) revolving credit facility (the ‘‘FILO Facility’’) and a $10,000 term loan facility (the ‘‘Term Loan Facility’’). Pursuant to an accordion feature, the Credit Facility includes the ability to increase the Revolving Facility by an additional $15,000 upon the Company’s request and the agreement of the lenders participating in the increase. The total borrowing capacity under the Revolving Facility is based on a borrowing base, generally defined as 85% of the value of eligible accounts plus the lesser of (i) 70% of the value of eligible inventory or (ii) 85% of the net orderly liquidation value of eligible inventory, less reserves. The total borrowing capacity under the FILO Facility is based on a borrowing base, generally defined as a specified percentage of the value of eligible accounts that steps down over time, plus a specified percentage of the value of eligible inventory that steps down over time. The scheduled maturity date of the loans under the Revolving Facility and the Term Loan Facility is April 21, 2020, and loans under the FILO Facility terminate April 21, 2018, subject in each case to customary early termination provisions. Any termination of the Revolving Facility would require termination of the Term Loan Facility and the FILO Facility. All obligations under the Credit Facility are secured by substantially all of the Company’s assets. In addition, Summer Infant Canada Limited and Summer Infant Europe Limited, subsidiaries of the Company, are guarantors under the Credit Facility. Borrowings under the Revolving Facility bear interest, at the Company’s option, at a base rate or at LIBOR, plus applicable margins based on average quarterly availability and ranging between 2.0% and 2.5% on LIBOR borrowings and 0.5% and F-15 SUMMER INFANT, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued) 4. DEBT (Continued) 1.0% on base rate borrowings. Loans under the FILO Facility and Term Loan Facility will bear interest, at the Company’s option, at a base rate or at LIBOR, plus a margin of 4.25% on LIBOR borrowings and 2.75% on base rate borrowings. Beginning on July 1, 2015, the Company was required to begin repaying the Term Loan Facility in quarterly installments of $500. Beginning with the fiscal year ending January 2, 2016, the Company was required to prepay the Term Loan Facility in an amount equal to 50% of the Company’s ‘‘excess cash flow,’’ as such term is defined in the Credit Facility, at the end of each fiscal year. Under the Credit Facility, the Company must comply with certain financial covenants, including that the Company (i) maintain a fixed charge coverage ratio of at least 1.0 to 1.0 for the twelve consecutive fiscal months most recently ended and (ii) maintain a certain leverage ratio at the end of each fiscal quarter. For purposes of the financial covenants, consolidated EBITDA is defined as net income before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, plus certain customary expenses, fees, non-cash charges, and minus certain customary non-cash items increasing net income and other specified items. The Credit Facility contains customary affirmative and negative covenants. Among other restrictions, the Company is restricted in its ability to incur additional debt, make acquisitions or investments, dispose of assets, or make distributions unless in each case certain conditions are satisfied. The Credit Facility also contains customary events of default, including the occurrence of a change of control. In the event of a default, all of the Company’s obligations under the Credit Facility may be declared immediately due and payable. In addition, the Credit Facility contains cash dominion provisions that apply if an event of default occurs or if the Company’s availability is less than an amount equal to 10% of the lesser of (i) the aggregate revolver commitments and (B) the revolver borrowing base under the Credit Facility. For certain events of default relating to insolvency and receivership, all outstanding obligations immediately become due and payable. As of December 30, 2017, the rate on base-rate loans was 5.50% and the rate on LIBOR-rate loans was 4.125%. The amount outstanding on the Revolving Facility at December 30, 2017 was $41,899. Total borrowing capacity under the Revolving Facility at December 30, 2017 was $45,098 and borrowing availability was $3,199. The amounts outstanding on the Term Loan Facility and FILO Facility at December 30, 2017 were $5,000 and $1,250, respectively.

F-16 SUMMER INFANT, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued) 4. DEBT (Continued) Sale-Leaseback On March 24, 2009, Summer Infant (USA), Inc., the Company’s wholly owned subsidiary (‘‘Summer USA’’), entered into a definitive agreement with Faith Realty II, LLC, a Rhode Island limited liability company (‘‘Faith Realty’’) (the owner of which is Jason Macari, the former Chief Executive Officer of the Company and current investor), pursuant to which Faith Realty purchased the corporate headquarters of the Company located at 1275 Park East Drive, Woonsocket, Rhode Island (the ‘‘Headquarters’’), for $4,052 and subsequently leased the Headquarters back to Summer USA for an annual rent of $390 during the initial seven year term of the lease, payable monthly and in advance. The original lease was to expire on the seventh anniversary of its commencement. Mr. Macari had given a personal guarantee to secure the Faith Realty debt on its mortgage; therefore, due to his continuing involvement in the building transaction, the transaction had been recorded as a financing lease, with no gain recognition. On February 25, 2009, the Company’s Board of Directors (with Mr. Macari abstaining from such action) approved the sale leaseback transaction. In connection therewith, the Board of Directors granted a potential waiver, to the extent necessary, if at all, of the conflict of interest provisions of the Company’s Code of Ethics, effective upon execution of definitive agreements within the parameters approved by the Board. In connection with granting such potential waiver, the Board of Directors engaged independent counsel to review the sale leaseback transaction and an independent appraiser to ascertain (i) the value of the Headquarters and (ii) the market rent for the Headquarters. In reaching its conclusion that the sale leaseback transaction is fair to the Company, the Board of Directors considered a number of factors, including Summer USA’s ability to repurchase the headquarters at 110% of the initial sale price at the end of the initial term. The Company’s Audit Committee approved the sale leaseback transaction (as a related party transaction) and the potential waiver and recommended the matter to a vote of the entire Board of Directors (which approved the transaction). On May 13, 2015, Summer USA entered into an amendment (the ‘‘Amendment’’) to its lease dated March 24, 2009 (the ‘‘Lease’’) with Faith Realty (the ‘‘Landlord’’). Pursuant to the Amendment, (i) the initial term of the Lease was extended for two additional years, such that the initial term now ends on March 31, 2018, and the term of the Lease may be extended at Summer USA’s election for one additional term of three years (rather than five years) upon twelve months’ prior notice, (ii) the annual rent for the last two years of the newly amended initial term was set at $429 and the annual rent for the extension period, if elected, was set at $468 and (iii) the Landlord agreed to provide an aggregate improvement allowance of not more than $78 for the newly amended initial term, to be applied against Summer USA’s monthly rent, and an additional improvement allowance of $234 for the extension term, if elected, to be applied against Summer USA’s monthly rent during such extension term. The Amendment was reviewed and approved by the audit committee because it was a related party transaction. At December 30, 2017, approximately $106 of the lease obligation was included in accrued expenses, with the balance of approximately $2,581 included in other liabilities, in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet. This obligation is reduced each month (along with a charge to interest expense) as the rent payment is made to Faith Realty. On January 22, 2018, Summer USA entered into a second amendment (the ‘‘Second Amendment’’) to the Lease. Pursuant to the Second Amendment, (i) the term of the Lease was extended to March 31, 2021, with no further rights of extension, (ii) the annual rent for the last three F-17 SUMMER INFANT, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued) 4. DEBT (Continued) years of the newly amended term was set at $468, (iii) Summer Infant no longer has the option to purchase the property subject to the Lease and (iv) the Landlord and Summer USA agreed to certain expenses, repairs and modifications to the property that is subject to the Lease.

INCOME TAXES In December 2017, the U.S. government enacted comprehensive tax legislation commonly referred to as the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (the ‘‘Tax Act’’) that significantly revised the U.S. tax code effective January 1, 2018 by, among other things, lowering the corporate income tax rate from a top marginal rate of 35% to a flat 21%, limiting deductibility of interest expense and performance based incentive compensation and implementing a territorial tax system. As a result of the Tax Act in the fiscal quarter ending December 30, 2017 we recorded a tax or ‘‘toll charge’’ of $734 on previously unremitted earnings of foreign subsidiaries, a writedown of $882 related to foreign tax credits and a writedown of the value of our deferred tax assets of $115. Under the guidance set forth in the SEC’s Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 118, the Company may record provisional amounts for the impact of the Tax Act. At December 30, 2017, the Company made a reasonable estimate of the effects of the Tax Act on its existing deferred tax balances. The final impact of the Tax Act may differ from this estimate, possibly materially, due to, among other things, changes in interpretations and assumptions the Company has made and guidance that may be issued.

The federal NOL will begin to expire in 2031 and the state NOL began to expire in 2018. The Company also has approximately $1,470, $328, $2,655, and $564 of NOLs in Canada, Australia, Israel, and the United Kingdom, which can be carried forward indefinitely. Authoritative guidance requires a valuation allowance to reduce the deferred tax assets reported, if based on the weight of the evidence, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. After consideration of all evidence, including the Company’s past earnings history and future earnings forecast, management has determined that a valuation allowance in the amount of $1,907 relating to certain state tax credits and foreign NOL’s is necessary at December 30, 2017 and $1,357 at December 31, 2016. Due to the Tax Act, the Company determined an additional provisional valuation allowance in the amount of $882 relating to foreign tax credits was necessary at December 30, 2017. A summary of the Company’s adjustment to its uncertain tax positions in fiscal years ended December 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016 are as follows: December 30, 2017 December 31, 2016 Balance, at beginning of the year . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued) 5. INCOME TAXES (Continued) The unrecognized tax benefits mentioned above include an aggregate of $52 of accrued interest and penalty balances related to uncertain tax positions. The Company recognizes interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions in income tax expense. An increase in accrued interest and penalty charges of approximately $13, net of federal tax expense, was recorded as a tax expense during the current fiscal year. The Company anticipates the remaining liability of $325 may reverse as of March 31, 2018 due to lapse of statute of limitations at that time. The Company is subject to U.S. federal income tax, as well as to income tax of multiple state and foreign tax jurisdictions. On a global basis, the open tax years subject to examination by major taxing jurisdictions in which the Company operates is between two to six years. 6. SHARE BASED COMPENSATION The Company is currently authorized to issue up to 1,700,000 shares for equity awards under the Company’s 2012 Incentive Compensation Plan (as amended, ‘‘2012 Plan’’). Periodically, the Company may also grant equity awards outside of its 2012 Plan as inducement grants for new hires. The Company was authorized to issue up to 3,000,000 shares for equity awards under its 2006 Performance Equity Plan (‘‘2006 Plan’’). In March 2017, the 2006 Plan expired and no additional equity awards can be granted under the 2006 Plan. Under the 2012 Plan, awards may be granted to participants in the form of non-qualified stock options, incentive stock options, restricted stock, deferred stock, restricted stock units and other stock-based awards. Subject to the provisions of the plans, awards may be granted to employees, officers, directors, advisors and consultants who are deemed to have rendered or are able to render significant services to the Company or its subsidiaries and who are deemed to have contributed or to have the potential to contribute to the Company’s success. The Company accounts for options under the fair value recognition standard. The application of this standard resulted in share-based compensation expense for the twelve months ended December 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016 of $494 and $482, respectively. Share based compensation expense is included in selling, general and administrative expenses. As of December 30, 2017, there are 1,338,583 shares available to grant under the 2012 Plan. Stock Options The fair value of each option award is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option valuation model that uses the assumptions noted in the table below. The Company uses the simplified method to estimate the expected term of the options for grants of ‘‘plain vanilla’’ stock options as prescribed by the Securities and Exchange Commission. Forfeitures are estimated at the time of grant and revised, if necessary, in subsequent periods if actual forfeitures differ from those estimates. Share-based compensation expense recognized in the consolidated financial statements in fiscal 2017 and 2016 is based on awards that are ultimately expected to vest. F-21 SUMMER INFANT, INC.

SHARE BASED COMPENSATION (Continued) The aggregate intrinsic value of options outstanding and exercisable at December 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016 are $5 and $9, respectively. As of December 30, 2017, there was approximately $364 of unrecognized compensation cost related to non-vested stock option awards, which is expected to be recognized over a remaining weighted-average vesting period of 2.7 years. Restricted Stock Awards Restricted stock awards require no payment from the grantee. The related compensation cost of each award is calculated using the market price on the grant date and is expensed equally over the vesting period.

That cost is expected to be recognized over the next 2.6 years. Restricted Stock Units In December 2015, the Company’s Board of Directors granted restricted stock units (‘‘RSUs’’) to the executive Chairman of the Board. The RSUs represent the right to receive shares of the Company’s common stock upon achievement of specified stock price performance metrics, and only vest if such market-based performance metrics are achieved. There was $26 of recognized compensation cost for the year ended December 31, 2016. The RSUs expired on August 3, 2016. On July 13, 2016, the Company granted 100,000 performance-based RSUs to its new Chief Executive Officer. The RSUs represent the right to receive shares of the Company’s common stock upon achievement of specified performance metrics, and only vest if such performance metrics are achieved for fiscal year 2017 and fiscal year 2018. The RSU’s expire if the performance metrics are not achieved or if employment is terminated. The fair value of the RSUs will be recognized as it is earned and when it is probable that the performance conditions will be met. The Company did not recognize any compensation expense in fiscal 2017 and fiscal 2016 related to this award as it is unlikely that performance metrics will be achieved. 7. PROFIT SHARING PLAN Summer Infant (USA), Inc. maintains a defined contribution salary deferral plan under Section 401(k) of the Internal Revenue Code. All employees who meet the plan’s eligibility requirements can participate. Employees may elect to make contributions up to federal limitations.

COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES Royalty Commitments Summer Infant (USA), Inc. has entered into various license agreements with third parties for the use of product designs, software licenses, and trade names for the products manufactured by the Company. These agreements have termination dates through December 2020. Royalty expense under these licensing agreements for the years ended December 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016 were approximately $69 and $315, respectively. Customer Agreements The Company enters into annual agreements with its customers in the normal course of business. These agreements define the terms of product sales including, in some instances, cooperative advertising costs and product return privileges (for defective products only) or defective allowances (which are based upon historical experience). These contracts are generally annual in nature and obligate the Company only as to products actually sold to the customer pursuant to a purchase order. Lease Commitments For lease agreements with escalation clauses, the Company records the total rent to be paid under the lease on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease, with the difference between the expense recognized and the cash paid recorded as a deferred rent liability included in accrued expenses on the balance sheet for amounts to be recognized within twelve months and in other liabilities for amounts to be recognized after twelve months from the balance sheet date, in the consolidated balance sheets. Lease incentives are recorded as deferred rent at the beginning of the lease term and recognized as a reduction of rent expense over the term of the lease. Summer Infant Europe Limited leases office space under a non-cancelable operating lease agreement.
